Vottrp. LINES ON THE LAST PARTING OF A POOR BUT VIRTUOUS CHRISTIAN AND HIS FAMILY• (For the Liverpool Standard.) The clay has yielded up its breath ; Its vital spark bath fled ; Why weep you round the bed of death ? Why mourn you for the dead? He is not here, but he has gone ; You saw his end was peace ;•--• Angels, from Heaven' s all-gracious throne, Brought down his soul's release. Dry up the fountains of your eyes, Ye kindred now forlorn ; And hail God's message from the skies, Which bids you cease to mourn. No more he feels the cold—the blight That kept his spirit chained : His faith is lost in perfect sight, His highest hope obtained! The swift-winged seraphs watched this clay Throughout the noon of night, And, with the earliest dawn of day, Unveiled the world of light ; And when the eyeballs ceased to roam O'er those he . loved and blest, They took the pilgrim to his home, The weary to his rest. He sleeps—no cares his slumbers bring, No dreams his rest annoy : He'll wake—when morning stars shall sing, And angels shout for joy ! Be not dejected, sad, and low, But raise your spirits higher; The Lord will be your father now, The living God your sire. Wayfarer!! count each fleeting hour ; Scan all thy works with care : This dying bed displayed the power Of penitence and prayer ! Liuerpool, 15th October, 1842. ENGLAND AS SHE WAS. (From Oasfler's Fled Papers.) She was the cradle and the castle of well-poised liberty ; on her bosom peace and plenty were wont to crown her val leys and her plains : then the world looked to England as an example. Her powerful arm forced the oppressor to tremble; for it was wielded by her happy, brave, and athletic sons. Her shield was the protection of injured innocence, for it was sustained by righteousness. To her the fugitives from foreign tyranny resorted, and found a safe and peaceful domicile. The nation's church was revered by her people : her clergy were then their shepherds—her nobles as their fathers. Her merchants were honoured throughout the world, as well for their integrity as for their wealth : they were once famed for honour and honesty ; now for cant and fraud. The husband man pursued his healthful career with whistling cheerfulness, for his reward was plenty ; the sound of the shuttle, mingling with the national anthems of the old and young, gave token, in our northern cottages, of healthfulness and peace • and a plentiful reward was certain. No jealous ranklings then dis turbed the peace of the labourer if the farmer prospered ; he sighed not at the splendour of the noble. No heart-burnings disturbed the watchings of the artizan when his employer obtained profitable returns : he envied not the wealth of the merchant. Then labour was pleasant, because it was the sure precursor of plenty and of health. In those days— and they are within my memory—the noble, the farmer, an d the peasant—the merchant—the manufacturer and the ar tisan, bad but one interest—their own, the nation's weal. The dull monotonous tramp of a policeman's foot was then unknown in England—that poisonous " reptile" is not indi genous. One single constable was sufficient for a town like Leeds. There was then more awe inspired by the clerical hat of the priest, than by a regiment of Dragoons—it was the debt of reverence for the office and the wearer. At his ap proach, vice was abashed, and virtue smiled. There were few factories in those days—the artisans then performed their ingenious evolutions at their homes, hence our manufacturing population were not corrupted, their bodies were hale and healthy, their minds were cheerful. The families were not then supported by the mill-labour of the mothers and chil dren—the matrons remained at home to nurse and train the younger ones, and manage household work. As the children grew older, the father taught the boys his arts and labour — the girls were placed as servants with the more opulent neigh bours ; there they were prepared for matrimony, to become faithful and thrifty wives. The streets of our manufacturing towns were then neither disgraced by police nor prostitutes. The church was well frequented, but the churchyards were not crowded with the untimely dead—sent, by the factories, long before,nature called for them. We had no large crowded prisons then, containing hun dreds—one small lock-up was all that Leeds required ; and it was oftener without a tenant than occupied. Our hospi tals and workhouses were not then crowded with factory cripples. There was then no WANT for INDUSTRY — pIenty crowned her board. If casual misfortune visited, the w►lling band of Christian benevolence was ready to relieve and remedy—if its stay was lengthened and cureless, the workhouse received the houseless and the " dateless." But the inmates of that last home of the destitute were not exiled—their friends could visit them, and administer comfort and relief. Nay, from that house, how often have I seen them welcome visi tors at the abodes of the wealthy, their former friends and neighbours. England was England then ! But now, alas, how changed ! CLARA NOVELLO.-ENGLISH TALENT. Among the English artists who have been highly appreci ated in Italy, after a lengthened and assiduous study of the method of that musical country, Miss Clara Novello incon testibly carries away the palm. One connoisseur observes, she has learnt, with surprising facility, all that it is requisite a cantatrice should know, and, harder still, unlearnt the an ticlassical style she had so laboriously acquired during ber own erroneous education. The following extract may serve to show the opinion now entertained of her. The editor of the Teatri Arti e L e tteratura, in his 971st number, states, that an intimate friend—a passionate admirer of the musical art, a connoisseur of instinctive perception and unerring taste for all that is sublime and genuine in music—has for several evenings been present at the performances of " Saffo" and of " Beatrice di Tenda" in the splendid theatre of Fermo, and adds these short, but animated, lines on Signora No vello My friend, I can only repeat what I have said before— La Novello is that accomplished cantatrice predestined to distinguish herself among those who are and will ever be the first artists in Europe ; her extraordinary voice strikes direct to the heart, and excites the most pleasing emotions, which are sure of producing a magical effect on those who are en dowed with any heart at all. The city of Fermo is proud of her ; in these latter days she has peopled it with strangers, who called her ' the gifted one,' and hail her with enthusiasm. That part of the public justly considered the superior and cultivated class, which alone can pronounce with judgment on the merit of an artist, has dignified her as all-accomplished in the surprising management of her voice, formed at the school of the great Pesarese. These dilettanti have been unanimous and constant in their applause, and on the night of her benefit were willing to testify their admiration of her in no ordinary way. The entrance money did not amount to less than three hundred scudi, besides a quantity of presents, and a lithograph of her of her rare beauty is shortly to ap pear, designed by the first artist, Palmardi. She sung on this memorable occasion the cavatina in ' Norma," Casta Diva,' in which not an intonation but proved her unattainable excellence. It would require a long letter to detail all the sublimity and inspiration with which this sweet child of Italian creation ennobled her song, and how many and how great the difficulties were, which she sought not to avoid, but surprisingly overcame. The inhabitants of Fermo will long cherish her delightful souvenir, and many are desirous of transmitting her teatures to posterity, and this will be effected by those generous, honourable individuals who know how to appreciate and extol her extraordinary merit, the loftiness of her genius, and her rare and singular virtues. But all Italy knows her; every capital is eager to hear and admire ber, and two of them at present are in open contention to de termine which of them shall enjoy this distinction first. — Allow me to," &c. It is a novel and gratifying task to submit to the English reader such forced testimonies to native talent, which prove, moreover, that there is no reluctance in this pre-eminent land of harmony to acknowledge the merit of foreign artists where it really exists. This fearless justice of the Italian dilettanti, so independent of all national jealousy, which vo luntarily lavished such ardent encouragement on the syren of Covent-garden, during her residence among them, should, we think, guarantee their tribunal against the suspicion of any unworthy prejudices, when they do not feel themselves disposed to bestow a palm, which they cannot acknowledge to be merited.—Era. DREADFUL DISASTER AT SEA.—lntelligence of the fol lowing disaster, attended, there is some reason to fear, with the lOss of the crew of the vessel run down, with the exeep tion of one man, the writer of the subjoined statement, reached this city on Saturday. It appears that the brit; Dundonald, of Troon, D. M`Nicol, master, which sailed from this port on Tuesday evening for Troon, laden with bal last, came, shortly after her departure, in contact with the schooner Kirby, laden with slates from Dudden, a small seaport on the borders of Lancashire and Cumberland. The only particulars that we have yet learned are contained in the letter at foot, written by one of the crew of the Kirby, which letter he handed to the pilot authorities at Passage of Water ford, when he arrived in the Maid of Mostyn; it is to be re marked that the letter is not signed with the writer's name. The Dundonald took her departure from hook Tower at eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, and her collision with the Kirby occurred about three hours after, and about 16 miles from the hook. We learn that the night was rather cloudy, hot that the sea was smooth, with a light breeze. While we anxiously await some further intelligence, and in particular the version of the oc urcrence to b e g i ven b y t h e D un d o nald, we should think that it appears at least somewhat probable, from the following letter, th at the Kirby and the remainder of the crew went down: ' This is t o cert i fy that the schooner Kirby, of Dudden , was bound on her passage from Dudden and on Tnesday, the 11th to Youghal, with a cargo lo o u f r s s la o t fl6 of October, betwixt t he I got e . the tanbzri ed wi t h o)e southwardsc Dun donald, of Troon, and mile said schoanondelr2 o n fe schooner the calledC 'on n i be g s one another about a Light-ship, when the master imiletoth o e f out to ' the brig, You will run u s down ?' they said,Put your helm down,' and immediately the vessels stru c k, when our master called out, , sh e is going down —run, save yourselves if you can." With that I le ft* the helm, and ran forwa rd, an d go but myself. Th ere was got hold of the brig's bobstay alon g with my shipmate, h ut 1 do not know whether he went . overboard or not. T here were none got on board of the br i g one of the brig's crew assisted me g in getting over the b ows. When I got on deck I heard my master say, Oh ! dear cap_ tain stand by us,' and he gave him no answe,r, but was givin g orders to his men about his jibboom, for it w as carried away. I kept looking towards the schooner, an d as near as I can calculate I saw her about twenty minutes, and the last words I went to I heard my captain say were ' Oh, my dear w i fs.' the captain of the brig, and said, You w towards her,' and he said, What good canould better stand I do ? Let us get our jibboom in.' I wanted him to put me on lightship, but he would not do it, and I rema ined board the on board of her till Thursday, the 13th, when I saw a schooner stand ing in for the Tuskar light. I asked the captain if he would allow his men to pull me aboard of the schooner, and he said it was a day's work, she was so far off, and two of the men said they would go, and he said Very well, call the hands up.' So we lowered the boat and pulled towards the schooner and made signal to her, and she hove to until we came up to her, which we found to be the the Maid of Mostyn, Captain Edwards, bound to Ross, and I asked a passage from him, and he told me to come on board. It was 3 p.m. then. She was about seven miles to the E.N.E. of Tuskar light." We have not learned the name of the writer of this statement. It appears that he was a north of England man, and has gone on to Youghal, in the expectation of finding the schooner was able to prosecute her voyage. We trust that the expec tation will be realised. Her crew consisted of the master and three men, and it appears that the master's wife was on board.— Waterford Mirror. MISCELLANEOUS. Upwards of £12,000 is paid into the bank for building a Roman Catholic cathedral at Kilkenny. There are 800 puncheons of whiskey now in store in Lime rick. Sheridan Knowles (whose wife died some time since) has married Miss Elphinstone.—Canada Paper. The gross total of the sailing and steam-vessels registered in Great Britain and Ireland on the 31st December, 1841, was 23,591 vessels, and their tonnage 3,760,315 tons. The wheat crop of France in 18.12 has almost doubled du ring the last thirty years, and that of potatoes increased to almost five-fold during the same period. PEACE BETWEEN PERU AND BOLIVIA.—A treaty of peace was concluded between Bolivia and Peru, at Puno, on the 7th of June, under the auspices of the government of Chili. On some of the estates in Ireland, more particularly Drogheda, the rents, which were some time ago 15s. per acre, are now from 365. to 50s. per acre. The Bank of England has received light sovereigns to the amount of £6,500,000 sterling since the proclamation, and the average amount of new sovereigns struck at the Mint has been £300,000 per week. - - - • • . . The leading mercantile firms in London have adopted the resolution of going on 'Change at three o'clock, and leaving at four o'clock, instead of the present custom of four o'clock until five. During the week, from the 7th to the 13th instant exclu sively, the number of passengers between France and Eng land who embarked and landed at Boulonge, was 1,239. At Calais, the number during the same period was 537. WINTER ASSIZES.-It was stated on good authority dur ing the late special commission at Stafford, that it is intended by government to have a general winter assizes throughout the kingdom, to commence in the early part of December. TASTE OF THE AGE.—In one of the New York papers we found an advertisement of a new almanac, entitled the Tragic Almanac, which was to give details of all the most horrible murders, accidents, fires, and explosions, which had taken place during the past two years. LEITH.—TIAIBER DUTIES.—On Monday last the new tariff came into operation, and American timber, which for merly paid 10s. per load, is now cleared at Is. In conse quence of this reduction, so important to the timber trade, large quantities have, within these last few days, been taken from bond at the low rate.—Caledonian Mercury. LEAPING UPON TRAINS.—On the North Midland Rail way, last week, Frederick Richardson, a " point man," lost a foot, and an inspector of workmen on the same line, named Utterly, had his head taken off, by the wheels of the train passing over him, each accident being occasioned by slipping when attempting to get upon trains in motion—a feat to which Utterly was quite accustomed. He has left a widow and four children.— Yorkshireman. METALLIC CORPSES.—A paper was read at the late meet ing of the Paris Academy of Sciences, containing the extra ordinary proposition of a M. Carnay. to employ the galvano plastic process, after embalmment, for the preservation of the human body after death ! The idea, however extravagant it may appear, is said not to be new, and that beautiful speci mens are to be seen of small animals, birds, insects, &c., which have been thus preserved. The melancholy effects of intemperate habits were mani fested in an awful manner in Limerick on Thursday morning. The wife of a pensioner from the 93d, named M'Cov, was found dead at her residence in the Englishtown ; and on the inquisition made before the mayor it appeared that the hus band had drawn his quarter's pension the previous day, and that both bad retired to bed deeply intoxicated ; there were several marks on the deceased, supposed to be the effects of a fall—the jury found accordingly. GALLANT CONDUCT.—During the passage of the Princess Royal, Captain Brock, from Madras to Calcutta, on the 22d of July, the carpenter, who was working on a stage over the side of the ship, by accident fell into the sea ; Mr. Burgess, a cadet, who was on the poop, instantly threw a rope to him, but unfortunately the carpenter did not see it and sank. Mr. Burgess then took hold of the rope and jumped overboard, and succeeded in reaching the man (who was quite insensible), and snpported him until the boat took them both up in a very exhausted state. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A bull, the property of Mrs. Middleton, of Hemingford-grey, Cambridgeshire, was missed the Ist of last month. Seventeen days after the animal was discovered alive in a ditch, fastened by the nose to the ground, in a dreadful state of emaciation. It appears, the bull having got into the ditch, had trod on the chain ap pended to the ring in its nose, and the ditch being of stiff clay the chain had become strongly embedded in the soil ; the cartillage of the nose being particularly tender, he bad not been able to extricate the chain. The animal is now re covered. THE OVERLAND MAIL FROM INDIA.-It iS DOW con fidently stated that the arrangements which have been pend ing for some time between the Right Hon. Lord Lowther the postmaster. general, and the Austrian Director-General, for the transmission of the overland mail from India via Suez and Alexandria, by the way of Trieste. Vienna, Hamburg, and Ostend, have been concluded. This new arrangement with regard to receiving the overland mail will, in some manner, affect the present treaty of sending via Marseilles to Malta, Egypt, and India, on the 4th of each month, and by the French mail packets leaving that port on the Ist, 11th, and 25th of the month. THE WEATHER.—The fine weather we may safely say has passed away ; for some mornings psst fogs on a small scale have been threatening, and occasionally made themselves manifest in the vicinity of the Thames. But yesterday morn ing, about nine o'clock, a fog, which bad been gradually growing in intensity, settled down on the Strand, and, we suppose, other localities of London, particularly those ad jacent to the river, which, with now some years' experience of London fogs, was fully a match in pitchy darkness for any of them. The gas-lamps were obliged to be lighted, and the morning seemed converted into night.—London Times of Wednesday. AWFUL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—On Thursday last, an iron-lifter at Dundyvan, of the name of John Black, un dertook, for a trifling wager, to swallow a mutchkin of whisky without taking it from his head. A previous allow ance had quickened his appetite for the undertaking, and all things being ready, John swallowed the mortal dose—and one glass more I—when he hied his way home from Coat bridge to Dundyvan, in a state of utter stupefaction; and though one of the most hardy and powerful men at the work, the poisonous potation wrought so rapidly on his constitu tion, that in less than four hours from swallowing the draught he was found a lifeless corpse, leaving a hapless wife and nu merous family to lament his intemperate and murderous folly.—Glasgow Constitutional. HINTS FOR SHAVING.-1. Get one case-hardened steel razor: if a good one more not required. Try by No. 2.-- 2. No edge is good which will not cut a hair held between the finger and thumb. 3. Wash your face well with soap and water before you begin : the oily secretion of the skin is ruin to a razor. For which reason don't pass over the palm of the hand : for this reason lather long and well. 4. Don't strop much—once or twice gently, not with pressure so as to fur row or indent the surface of the strop, which turns the edges. 5. A steel will set a razor. If you get a razor hone don't use oil, use soap; use soap, not oil to your strop. 6. Shave as mowers mow, by an up-and-down sweep, and not by a straight-forward scrape. You may thus use cold water, which saves trouble ; and you need only go over once, which saves time. Avoid oil in every shape. Joiners use oil to their tools, but Joiners do wrong. THE BISHOP OF JERUSALEM. — We extract the following from his Lordship's letter of August 1, 1842:—" Although I feel very unequal to much writing, I am unwilling to let the mail leave without adding a few lines to the full reports which are forwarded by this post from the different mem bers of the mission, particularly from Mr. Nicolayson. 1 feel sure you will all sympathise with us, when you hear of the sick house we have had during the last month. Every one of my household, excepting only the native servants, has had an attack of fever more or less severe. The children and the English servants have quite recovered, but Mrs. Alexander and myself are but slowly gaining strength, this having been my second attack. This is the trying season. We are obliged to leave our houses for change of air, but the only abode we can find during that time is an old con vent, about two miles from Jerusalem ; we hope to go there to-morrow. We cannot be sufficiently thankful for having all got through it so well ; and we may hope that it will bet ter prepare us for standing the climate in future." THE WINDSOR STABLES.—The new stables at Windsor, commenced under the direction of the late Sir Jeffrey Wyat v!lle, and now completed under the management of his as sistant and successor, Mr. Henry Ashton, are about to be handed over to their new occupants, both human and eques trian ; for the benefitting accommodation of the attendants on the horses, both married and single, has been duly cared for, at the cost of a considerable portion of the outlay. All absence of show, consistent with good keeping, is most re markable throughout this indispensable appendage to a royal residence, which has not been provided, in substitution, be fore it was required, since the preceding straggling buildings would hardly be acknowledged by a decent London inn keeper. Those now prepared are calculated for 120 horses and their managers, at an expense of about £70,000, the architect, rather unusually, keeping closely to his estimate, and yet so attending to substantiality throughout, that they may last, for ought it appears, a century without repair, and remain a coeval monument of the good taste and sense of those who planned and executed the erection both of those and the extensive addition to the princely castle.—Observer. A pleasing illustration of the respect in which the clergy are held by their flocks occurred at Ripple, in this county, on Wednesday last. The Rev. G. Hill Clifton, the Rector of that parish, returned with his lady, to whom he has been lately united, from a continental tour, after an absence of a few weeks, on the evening of that day, and was met at the entrance of the grounds belonging to the Rectory by a large body of his parishioners with hearty acclamations, and evi dent tokens of joy at his return. The road to the Rectory had been decorated with triumphal arches, and garlands of choice flowers, intermingled with a bite favours ; and young ladies dressed in white presented elegant bouquets to the worthy Rector and his lady. The music of the tine peal of bells from the old tower, and the merry faces of the villagers, made it quite a scene of mirthful hilarity ; and the numerous persons present were plentifully regaled with cider at the ex pense of the Rector. On Friday aftern'oon, Mr. Clifton and his amiable lady invited the wives and daughters of the cot tagers to tea, which was given on the lawn of the Rectory, and upwards of 200 females, with 100 children belonging to the Sunday schools, partook of the beverage, with an abum dant supply of bread and butter and plum cake, and departed highly delighted. On Sunday last the choir of the beautiful parish church, accompanied by their excellent organ lately erected, chaunted the service of the day, and perfor me d several choice anthems, on the occasion of the appearance of the bride and bridegroom within the walls of that fabric.— Worcester Journal. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday evening last, Mr. Charteris, farmer , Williefield , having , like many others during this remarkable dry season, run short of water, sent two of his servants to procure a supply from the neighbouring stream of the Cairn. The servants' names were Thomas Jackson and Janet Carson; and accompanied by a little girl, a daughter of Mr. Charteris, they proceeded, about six o'clock, with a cart drawn by a fine mule to a pool in the Cairn, about a mile off, a little above Gribton Ford, and nearly opposite Irongray Church. Having left the little girl on the hank the man drove his cart some yards up the stream • • he , and it would appear that from some motive or other indi viduals w badroo endeavoured stol to turn the cart round to go down again, but lostn uckily drove into deep water, where the mule forthwithits footing.

VARIETIES. THE NUTMEG STATE.—The following toast was given at a public dinner in the nutmeg producing state of Connecticu►, viz.—" The NUTMEG State. Where shall we find a grater SWAPPING WIVES.—" John, I wish it was as much the fashion to trade wives as it is to trade horses." " Why so, Peter ? " " I'd cheat somebody most shockin bad afore night."—New Orleans Balletin. STAYMAKER'S PUN.—A poor corset maker, out of work, and starving, thus vented her miserable complaint : " Shame that I should be without bread, I that have stayed the stomachs of thousands. JUST SENTIMENT.—A noble heart will disdain to subsist, 1 ke a drone, upon the honey gathered by others' labour — hie a leech, to filch its food out of the public granary—or like a shark, to prey on the lesser fry ; but will one way or other earn his subsistence. ANTI-MATRIMONIAL PARISH.—A correspondent informs us that the parish of Silchester, famed far and near for its remains as a Roman town, is scarce less worthy of note for the numbers of bachelors and spinsters it contains. Some time since, at a vestry dinner held there, it was a remarkable fact, that there was not a married man amongst the party, which consisted of seven ; and on a recent occasion, when a gentleman trom a distant county, by way of example, led one of the damsels of the neighbourhood to the altar, the minister could not tell him the amount of the fees, declaring, that though he had been in office for ten years, this was the first marriage by license that had taken place. —Berkshire Chronicle. THE FRENCH REGALIA.—The general inventory of the diamonds, pearls, and jewels of the Crown of France was first made under the empire in 1810. A versification of that inventory took place under Louis XVIII on his return from Ghent, whither those jewels had been carried during the hundred days ; and all the different pieces having been taken usunder, the diamonds, pearls and jewels, which composed them weighed and valued, it was found that those jewels amounted in number to 61,312, that they weighed 18,751 7- 32 carats, and were worth 20,900,260 f. A new versification was lately made, in virtue of the law of the 2nd of March, 1832, by Messrs. Bapst and Lazare, the jewellers of the Crown, and no change was found either in their number, weight, or value.—Commerce. THE ABOMINABLE DOCTRINE OF INDULGENCES.—AC cording to the doctrine of the Romish Church, all the good works of saints, over and above those which were necessary for their own justification, are deposited, together with the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, in one inexhaustible treasury. (Who these saints were it is hard to know, for the true saints of Christ never had works sufficient even fur them selves ; for they were justified by faith only). The keys of this were committed to St. Peter (poor Peter never had such keys), and to his successors the popes (a monstrous figment), who may open it at pleasure, and by transferring a portion of this superabundant merit to any particular person for a sum of money (this discloses the whole secret,—the very end of the impious device), may convey to him either the pardon of his own sins, or a release for ally one in whose pardon he is interested from the pains of purgatory (a place falsely taught to exist to gai❑ money). Such indulgences were first invented in the eleventh century (an age, not of faith, as the Tractarians teach us, but of gross superstition and abject credulity) by Pope Urban H., as a recompense for those who went in person upon the meritorious enterprise of conquering the Holy Land. They were afterwards granted to those who hired a soldier for that purpose ; and in process of time were bestowed on such as gave money (no pardons without money at Rome !) for accomplishing any pious work enjoined by the pope.—Dr. Robertson's Works, vol. v. p. 76. THE POPISH SYSTEM OF COMPOSITION FOR CRIMES. — As the idea of composition for crimes was then familiar (that is, during the dark ages), this strange traffic was so far from shocking mankind, that it soon became general (so that it could plead " unanimous consent"); and in order to prevent any imposition in carrying it on, the officers of the Roman Chancery published a book, containing the precise sum to be exacted for the pardon of every particular sin. A deacon guilty of murder was absolved for twenty crowns (.£3.) A bishop, or abbot, might assassinate for three hundred livres (1:12. 10s.) Any ecclesiastic might violate his vows of chastity, even with the most aggravating circumstances (by rape or adultery) for the third part of that sum (about £4.) Even such shocking crimes as occur seldom in human life, were taxed at a very moderate rate. (And this is the Holy Catholic Church, governed by infallible Popes !)—ld. p., 101. OLD MORTALITY.— On Thursday last, as William Scott, of Burnmouth, was returning along with a friend in the cart, from Ettrick Forest, where he had been at work letter ing head stones, the horse took fright and the poor old man was thrown from the cart and killed on the spot. The de ceased was well known in Eskdale and Liddesdale, and in deed through the whole of the border counties, as the author of " Border Exploits," and " The Beauties of the Border," both of which have been frequently reprinted. He was a shrewd, intelligent man, of eccentric habits, and fond of col lecting historical records, indeed he was a perfect storehouse of local tradition and anecdote connected with border fueds —when might not right held sway. He was by trade a stonemason, but for many years he kept the parochial school at Burnmouth, and during harvest (a time when country schools are closed) he travelled the country, like " Old Mortality," lettering new, and deciphering old, tomb stones.—Carlisle Patriot. POPE GREGORY IX.'S BULL IN FAVOUR OF THE CRUSADES, IN 1234.—Notwithstanding the ingratitude of Christians, the goodness of God is not withdrawn from them. His Providence is still actively engaged to promote the hap piness of mankind (but according to what follows, in a very strange way) ; his remedies suit their temper ; his prescrip tions are proportioned to the disease. (Mark how this is exemplified.) The service to which they are now invited is an effectual atonement for the miscarriages of a negligent life. (What a heresy announced by an infallible Pope !) The discipline of a regular penance would have discouraged many offenders so much, that they would have had no heart to venture upon it (one human and wicked device must therefore be substituted for another); but the holy war is a compendious method of discharging men from guilt, and restoring them to the Divine favour. (Oh what error, ignorance, and impiety !) Even if they die on their march, the intention will be taken for the deed, and many in this way may be crowned without fighting (a pure Mahomedan doctrine avowed by the pretended Vicar of Christ !) _ _ QUEEN MARY'S HUNTING IN ATHOL, AND HER MA JESYY'S VISIT TO BREADALBANE. —An interesting pa rallel to the dt er-hunting and othi r amusements in honour of the visit of her Majesty and her illustrious Consort to the Highlands is afforded in a similar excursion by the unfortu nate Queen Mary. These " royal buntings" were con ducted on a scale of rude grandeur, and those who engaged in them were exposed to such rough mishaps and danger as would deter the timid from encountering them. The gentle Mary, however, was not of so timid a spirit, but took an ac tive part in the fray. which perilled the lives of the most dex terous and intrepid, as will be seen from the following curious account of the visit of this sovereign to the highlands of Perthshire, and the grand hunting in which she took part, given by an eye witness—Barclay. ( Monarchomacus):—" In the year 1563 the Earl of Athol, a prince of the blood royal, h id, with much trouble and vast expense. a hunting-match for the entertainment of our most illustrious and most gracious Queen. Our people call this ' A Royal Hunting.' I was then a young man, and was present on the occasion. 2,000 Highlanders, or wild Scots, as you call them here, were employed to drive to the hunting-ground all the deer from the woods and hills of Athol, Badenoch, Mar, Moray, and the counties about. As these Highlanders use a light dress and are very swift of foot, they went up and down so nimbly, that in less than two months' time they brought together 2,000 red deer, besides roes and fallow deer. The Queen, the great men. and others were in a glen when all the deer were brought before them. Believe me, the whole body of them moved forward in something like battle order. This sight still strikes me, and ever will, for they had a leader whom they followed close wherever he moved. This leader was a very fine stag with a very high head. The sight de lighted the Queen very much, but she soon had occasion for fear, upon the Earl, who had been accustomed to such sights, addressing her thus Do you observe that stag who is foremost of the herd ? There is danger from that stag ; for if either fear or rage should force him from the ridge of that hill, let every one look to himself, for none of us will be out of the way of harm ; for the rest will follow this one, and, having thrown us under foot, they will open a passage to this hill behind us.' What happened a moment after confirmed this opinion ; for the Queen ordered one of the best dogs to be let loose on one of the deer; this the dog pursues—the leading stag is frighted, he flies by the same way he had come there, the rest rush after him, and break out where the thickest body of the Highlanders was. They had nothing for it but to throw themselves flat on the heath, and allow the deer to pass over them. It was told the Queen that se veral of the Highlanders had been wounded, and that two or three had been killed outright, and the whole body had got off, had not the Highlanders, by their skill in. hunting, fallen upon a stratagem to cut off the rear from the main body. It was of those that had been separated that the Queen's dogs and those of the nobility made slaughter. There were killed that day 360 deer, with five wolves and some roes." THE 44TH AT WATERLOO.—Apropos, however, to Quatre Bras and the name of O'Malley, we would take the oppor tunity of saying a word about a gallant regiment, the bones of whose force now lie bleaching in a savage land, and over whose memory some aspersions have been cast by some base and un English scribblers and spouters. There was no more gallant regiment in the service than the 4lth : no regiment saw more service or did its duty better. Amongst a number of other places, they served in Egypt, at Salamanca, Tarra gona, Fuentes d'Ouor, in the retreat of Burgos, at Badajoz, at Washington, at Blinsherg' at New Orleans, at Bergen op-Zoom, at Merkdem, at Antwerp. at Quatre Bras, at Waterloo, in Arrican, and, lastly, their strength has been sacrificed in Affghanistan. But their blood shall not be suf fered to sink into the ground. England, which never forgets her faithful servants, will never be contented until they are avenged, and the name of Englishmen made a word of fear to the descendants of their murderers for all generations. The 41th did gallant service at Clow re Bras and Waterloo, though in point of numbers the weakest regiment that came into the field. They numbered only 430 bayonets. In the year before, at Bergen-op-Zoom, they had suffered terribly, 700 men went into action, 200 alone survived. Accordingly at Quatre Bras t 1:, men were for the most part rectal's. When the French fire opened, many of them took to ducking from the shot. The officer then in command, Colonel O'Malley—a man of mould, and not of fiction—cried out " Steady, men ! When you see me duck, you may all duck, but the first man who ducks before I do, I'll cut down !" "By Japus," said an old granadier, "that's pleasant! If they wait till the Colonel ducks, they'll wait till the cows come home!" At Quatre Bras they saved a portion of that distinguished corps, the 42d ; but not as Mr. Lever, with the pardonable inaccuracy of a civilian describes it. In the attempt to form a square, two companies of the 42d, were left out and nearly cut to pieces by the French cavalry, and their colonel was killed. Mr. Lever says the 42nd, who were stationed amidst tall corn, were surrounded with cavalry before they knew it. The word was given to form square. The Lancers were already among them ; and fighting back to back, the gallant Highlanders met the foe. Fresh numbers poured down upon them, and already half the regiment was disabled and their colonel killed. These brave fellows were rescued by the 4 Ith ; who throwing in a withering volley, fixed bayonets, and charged—" a withering volley," ounce Brotois,—a stupid phrase which the author uses on all oc casions without having the fear of ./Echylus before his eyes. " Fixed bayonets !" Oh, Mr. Lever ! Though you have a commission, how could you write such nonsense ? Were not the bayonets fixed; are they not always fixed from the mo ment the regiment goes into action ? Oh, Lever, Lever '— and they " charged !" The line of infantry charged the retiring cavalry ! For shame. Lever ? the facts are simply these. The 42d committed the mistake of endeavouring to form square when there was not time. Colonel O'Malley avoided the error, and his regiment received the charge of cavalry in line as they stood, and delivered a volley when the horsemen were just upon them, every bullet of which emptied a saddle. They then advanced (there was no fixing bayonets —our bayonets were already fixed—no charge) far enough to enable them to form a square, and include the broken part of the thrice renowned 42d in their ranks. At Waterloo at Quatre Bras the services of the 44th were conspicuous, and God forbid their country should forget them. Of twenty-six officers that went into the field at Quatre Bras, at the close of Waterloo twenty-three lay dead or sorely wounded. Three only Waterloo es c a p t e i (! e t c he ol fiery ordeal e g o t me h n o t s e days s t o o pe d u nf fora c r a a t h m e d o . At t seven times, and on each occasion a gallant British officer lay dead or disabled. The eighth gentleman who raised them was Captain Dunlevie (like O'Malley a survivor of the corps) and Dunlevie, though wounded on both days, held them aloft till they waved over a triumphant field. We look forward with intense anxiety with the hope of seeing the treacherous massacre of the 44th most amply and most thoroughly aven ged. HORRIBLE CASE OF MURDER IN DUNDEE. (From the Edinburgh Courant of Saturday.) We learned last night the following particulars relating to a case of murder perpetrated in Dundee on Thursday night, which, for cold-blooded atrocity, has had few parallels in this part of the country. On Thursday morning two men, who gave their names as Mackenzie and Duff, and who appeared to be substantial north-country graziers on their way home from the Falkirk Tryst, called at Mr. Croall's coach-office, Prince's -street, here, and inquired into various particulars regarding the starting of the Dundee coach, which leaves here at ten o'clock. As they had business to transact in one of the banks, which does not open till ten o'clock, they re quested that the coach might be delayed a few minutes, which was promised. About five minutes after ten Duff, who was a short stout man, returned by himself, and asked whether the coach could not be delayed a little longer till his friend Mackenzie finished their mutual business at the bank. This could not be acceded to, and the coach set off without either of them. Mackenzie, who is taller than his compa nion, and remarkable from one or two projecting front teeth, joined his friend at the coach-office soon after the coach had gone, and both took an omnibus and joined the steamer just as she was about to leave Newhaven. It would hence appear that Mackenzie had received buff's money at the bank, and had it in his possession. There were two steamers starting across the water at the same time, and it is remarkable that Mackenzie took the wrong one; but as they both reached Pettycur at the same time, the mistake was of no moment farther than as it gave rise to much excitement on the part of Duff, who expressed great anxiety lest he should lose ' sight of his friend and his money. Both parties then took their seats on the outside of the Dundee coach, near the guard, and proceeded in this way to Cnpar, without hav ing much intercourse with each other; Mackenzie employ ing himself during the greater part of the way in a low chant or muttering, of which, however, nothing could be made. At Cupar a change of position took place. Both parties came down from the coach; and on remounting. Mackenzie took his seat near the driver, while Duff kept his old place beside the guard, and continued so to Newport. On crossing the Tay Ferry, Mackenzie's manner was observed to be somewhat agitated, so much so, that a person who knew him remarked to another, that that was Mr. Mackenzie, an ex tensive cattle dealer, but he seemed to have got a slap over the fingers—thus referring the strangeness of his manner to some supposed loss be had sustained. The coach arrived at Dundee about four o'clock ; and our information regarding them from that time is not so precise. What is certain is, that in the evening two men, answering in all respects to these persons, and of whose identity with them our informant had no doubt, were walking out of Dundee ; and when beyond the Law, the short man was shot from behind with a pistol, and, it is supposed, left for dead on the road. The poor man, however, recovered a little ; and was able, we have been told, to crawl to some house in the neighbourhood, or other wise obtained assistance, and had sufficient strength left to tell the whole story, and to fix upon his companion as his murderer, charging him at the same time with having £l,OOO of his property in his possession. Information was immedi ately sent to the Police-office at Dundee; and a search being set on foot, the other was apprehended at eight o'clock yes terday morning in one of the carriages in the first train of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway. The rumour in Dundee, when our informant left, was to the effect that the two parties had dined together in Dundee; and that Duff asked his companion for his property ; that he evaded the request, under the pretence that that was not a proper place for settling their accounts, but proposed that they should both proceed to a friend of his a few miles out in the country, where they would get a bed for the night, and might settle their affairs quietly. To this, in an evil hour, the unhappy man consented. It is said that the tall man bought a pistol from a young man in a respectable ironmonger's shop in Dundee. It is remarkable that Thursday was the fast day in that town, so that he would have some difficulty in finding a shop open. It is also said, that when he was apprehended, a large sum of money was found upon him. This shocking case had excited, as well it might, a great sensation in Dun dee, both from the respectable sphere in which both parties had previously been moving, and from the deliberate villany with which the murder must have been committed. - )lppping inteitigraft.

Duff stilt remains in a precarious state. Mackenzie re turned to Dundee about nine o'clock and remained all night, and on the following morning took a ticket for the first train of the Dundee and Arbroath railway, in which he took his seat. Duff was able to describe his assassin, anU a police officer found his man just as the train was on the point of starting. The officer told him he was wanted up in the town ; but Mackenzie said he could not lose the train ; and altogether showed so much reluctance to leave, that he was almost dragged out of the carriage. He was of course, im mediately apprehended, and still remains in custody. When taken, he was found to have £2,775 in his possession, of which £l,OOO, as we before stated, belonged to Duff. We have heard that he positively denies all knowledge of, or cocnexion with, the attempt at assassination; but we do not know how be attempts to explain at what part of their journey he left Duff. THE INCOME-TAX. NEW INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE MODE OF CLAIMING EXEMPTION. In consequence of the great number of doubts and difficul ties that have presented themselves as to the proper inter pretation and meaning of the clauses of exemption in this act, the following additional instructions have been drawn up by her Majesty's Commissioners, and will be delivered to the assessors of every district. The following is an official copy:-- " 1. Every person claiming to be entitled to exemption must, within the time limited for delivering in the lists (or within such further time as the commissioners for general purposes in the district shall allow), deliver to the assessor a notice of his claim for exemption, together with a declara tion setting forth therein all the particular sources whence the income of such claimant shall arise, with the amount from each source, and also every sum of annual interest, or other annual payment reserved or charged thereon, whereby the income may be diminished, and also every sum charged against every other person on account of the duty, or which he may have deducted or retained under the authority of the act out of any payment to which he may be or become liable. "2. Every person chargeable by assessment, or by de duction from any rent, annuity or other annual payment, who shall prove that the annual amount of his income is less than £l5O, is entitled to exemption from duties, and to re paybent of all deductions on account thereof, except so much of such duties as he may be entitled to charge against any other persons, or to deduct out of any payment to which he may be liable. Thus, if a person owns land of £l5O annual value, and receives that sum in rent, and his tenant is assessed on that sum on his behalf, then his income is £150; but if he allows land-tax out of that sum Limo, n ing to £2O, then is his income £l3O, on which sum his tenant would be assessed on his behalf. The same may be said of any other deduction allowed by the act. But if such person has paid out of Lis rent £2O for repairs, which is not allowed as a de duction under the act, his income still remains £l5O. So if a person pays an annuity, interest of money, or other annual payment out of his rent, then is his income reduced by that sum. If he pays annual interest to the amount of £2O, his income is £130; and if he pays the land-tax of £2O, then his income would be £llO. But his income will not be reduced by the payment of any sum from which he is not entitled to deduct the duty. " 3. The annual value of lands or tenements is to be esti mated according to the rules contained in schedules A and B. The income arising from ownership is to be understood to be the rent at which the same are let at rack-rent, if fixed by agreement within seven years preceding the year of as sessment ; but if not let at rack-rent, then at the rack-rent at which the same are worth to be let by the year, subject to the deductions to be authorized by the act. " 4. Every person separately assessed, or having a separ ate interest in the profits assessed, may claim an exemption. " 5. So copartners, joint trustees, or tenants in common of the profits of any property whatever, having declared their respective shares, in order to a separate assessment. " 6. So joint-tenants, or tenants of land in partnership, being in the actual and joint occupation thereof, and entitled to the profits in shares, and personally labouring therein, or managing the same. " 7. So partners carrying on trade, or exercising any pro fession together, and entitled to the profits thereon in shares, and personally acting therein, in such cases of separate as sessments only. " 8. So a guardian, trustee, or agent on account of others, may claim on behalf of such others, either where satisfac tory proof is given that such others cannot attend in person, or in cases where they may be assessed for others, as acting in the character of guardian, &c., to the person under in capacity. " 9. Every claim is to be made to the commissioners of the district where the claimant shall reside, except where the whole of his income shall arise from any employment, the duties whereon are cognizable by the commissioners of a department of office, or from a pension, in which case he may claim to the commissioners of the department. " 10. Every person entitled to claim exemption must sign the notice to that effect contained in the forms left him by the assessor. If the income of the claimant should arise from any other source than those described in the forms left him, he should signify the same to the assessor, signifying from what sources his income is derived. " 11. Schedule for exemption (particulars of income from whatever source derived.) " 12. In all cases claims for exemption are to be examined by the surveyor of the district, and if he shall not object thereto within forty days after the same have been trans mitted to the commissioners, or within such further time as they, on just cause, shall allow him to make such objection, the commissoners are authorised to allow such objections. " 13. If the surveyor is satisfied that a party is wholly ex empt he will sign a certificate to that effect, and lay the claim before the commissioners at their next meeting, upon which the commissioners will discharge the assessment, and if it shall appear that any property is assessed in any other dis trict the commissioners will certify to the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes, at the head office, the allowance of the exemption, upon which the last - mentioned commissioners will direct the assessment in such other district to be dis charged. " 14. In case the surveyor shall see cause to object to any claim for exemption, he is to certify such objection and the grounds thereof to the commissioners of the district, when the merits of the claims are to be heard and determined upon appeal by the party before them, under and subject to the rules, regulations, and penalties under the act. " 15. Upon proof that any person whose claim for ex emption has been allowed has been charged to, and has paid, the duties by way of deduction from any rent, annuity, or other annual payment from which a deduction is authorized to be made, or that such person has been assessed and has paid the duty in respect of any annuity, &c., payable out of the public revenue, the commissioners will certi f y what shall have been so provedl to the co mmissioners, at the head office for Stamps and Taxes; whereupon the last-mentioned com missioners will issue the necessary order for repayment. " The order for repayment will he directed to the officer fur receipt, or the collector of the duties, or to a distributor or sub-distributor of stamps of the district or parish in which the claimant shall reside ; and a notification thereof will at the same time be forwarded to the party from the bead office, in order that he may know when and where to apply for such repayment." The States of Ilanover have granted eleven millions o f Prussian crowns (ze1,600,000) for a general railway system of 60 German' miles. TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. —Unless the electors pay up all arrears, or take advantage of the new law on the sub ject, before the first of December, they will lose the fran chise for life. Within the last few days there have been some tolerably large shipments of superior horses from the port of Hull, for Germany—twenty-nine in the Transit and ten in the Rob Roy steamers. A very extraordinary hide, said to be that of an hippopota mus, is now in the possession of Messrs. Maine and Co., o f St. John -street, Smithfield. It has been in bark for seven years, and is of such immense thickness, that when dried it will weigh upwards of 170 lbs. THE RURAL POLICE.—At the General Quarter Sessions held on Tuesday, at Lewes, fifty-seven petitions from various parishes in East Essex were presented to the magistrates for the abolition of the rural police force. Several of them re ferr wastod the amply in sufficientefficiencyo systemffot r he o ie protection of the rural and the eno rmous expense entailed upon the country.

Oporto EXTRAORDINARY MECHANIC.—In the town of Alytli there lived a man of much provincial celebrity, of the name of James Sandy. The genius and eccentricity of character which distinguished this remarkable person have rarely been .urpassed. Deprived at an early age of his limbs, he con tinued, by dint of ingenuity, not only to pass his time agreeably, but to render himself a useful member of society. He soon displayed a taste for mechanical pursuits, and con trived, as a workshop for his operations, a sort of circular bed, the sides of which being raised about 18 inches above the clothes, were employed as a platform for turning-lathes, tables, vices, and for tools of all kinds. His genius for prac tical mechanics was universal. He was skilled in all sorts of turning, and constructed several very curious lathes, as well as clocks and musical instruments of every description, no less admired for the sweetness of their tone than the excellence and elegance of their execution. He excelled, too, in the construction of optical instruments, and made some reflecting telescopes, the specula of which were not inferior to those finished by the most eminent London artists. He sug gested some important improvements in the machinery for spinning flax, and we believe he was the first who made the wooden-joined snuff-boxes, generally called Laurence kirk boxes, some of which, fabricated by this self-taught artist, were purchased and sent as presents to the Royal Family ; one, in particular, had to be returned from Brighton for the purpose of being opened. To his other endowments he added an accurate knowledge of drawing and engraving, and in both of these arts produced specimens of the highest excellence. In upwards of 50 years he quitted his bed only three times, and on these occasions his house was either in undated with water, or threatened with danger from fire. His curiosity, which was unbounded, prompted him to hatch different kinds of bird's eggs by the natural warmth of his body, and he afterwards raised the motley brood with all the tenderness of a parent; so that, on visiting him, it was no uncommon thing to see various singing birds perched on his head, and warbling the artificial notes he had taught them. Naturally possessed of a good constitution and an active mind, his house was the general coffee-room of the village, where the affairs of both church and state were discussed with the utmost freedom. In consequence of long confine ment his countenance had rather a sickly cast, but it was re markably expressive, and would have afforded a fine subject for the pen of Lavater or the pencil of Wilkie, particularly when he was surrounded by his country friends. This sin gular man had acquired, by his ingenuity and industry, an honourable independence, and died possessed of considerable property. He married about three weeks before his death. From the brief history of James Sandy we may learn this in structive lesson,—that no difficulties are too great to be overcome by industry and perseverance, and that genius, though it should sometimes miss the distinction it deserves, will seldom fail, unless by its own fault, to secure competence and respectability.—Perth Advertiser.

There was a good shew of stock to-day, but the quality of the Beasts was again only middling. Buyers in consequence wet e supplied on lower terms, and at the close of the market much was unsold. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 18. The demand for Cotton to-day is exceedingly limited ; the sales will not exceed 1,000 bales. Prices the same as last week, certainly not lower. COTTON MARKET, OCTTBER 20, The sales in Cotton continue to average daily from 2500 to 3'.00 hales, at prices much on a par with those of last week, and though the market wears a flat appearance, it is nevertheless steady, and holders are not anxious to press their stocks. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. OCTOBER 19 During the present week the Corn trade has continued in the same dull state so frequently reported of late. Only trilling sales could be effected in any article, though nearly all descriptions of grain offered at some reduction. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, OCTOBER 20. 1842. The arrivals either from the Isle of Man or Coastwise, still con tinue light, yet the demand being slack, both from country and town retail trade, we cannot quote any improvement over our last quotations, viz. Is 2d to Is 3d per golbs. We have had only a limited supply of any description of agricul tural oroduce brought into our local markets for the last three days, but the quantity brought forward has been fully equal to the demand.

The arrivals during the last week of Grain from the English counties were tolerably good, particularly of Barley and Malt, but of Wheat the supply was only moderate. Of Foreign Grain of any 'sort we continue to receive but scanty supplies, the few cargoes that arrive going into bond, and, as such, not affecting the currency for home consumption. The trade throughout the week may be said to have ruled steady, particularly for Wheats, such Grain meeting a fair demand at prices fully equal to those of the preceding Monday, while for Barley of secondary quality the previous rates were not supported by about is per qr, To this morning's market the supply fresh up was short of Wheat, both Essex and Kent, but of Barley the arrival was rather abundant. Wheats have a languid demand at the prices of this day week, and in some instances prices have given way Is to as per qr; but Barley, except superfine des criptions, must be quoted full Is cheaper. New Irish Oats, of good quality, are held firmly, but inferior descriptions of old are difficult of sale. Beans and Peas realise the prices of this day week, the former meeting perhaps, rather a better demand. In Flour there is no alteration, the top prices of town-made continuing at C s per sack. In seeds or other articles there is a steady but limited trade passing at the prices of this day week. Corn Market, Wednesday. The trade is extremely dull this morning, and the business con fined to a few sales in the retail trade. There is, however, nomi nally no further decline in the prices, and the English Wheat is not in any excessive supply. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 17. The number of Continental Bullocks at Smithfield was between 6o and 70, the disparity between which and the official return arises from those which were unsold on Friday last being brought forward to-day. The fresh arrivals were of a very slightly inferior quality from those of last market day, and consequently fetched lower prices than on former occasions. The best of them did not com mand more than about 16 each, and many were riot worth near so much, being old and in poor condition. It is not unlikely that the latter sort will find their way into the provincial markets. The supply of home-bred Beasts was again large, considerably beyond the demand which although snmcwhat better than on Monday was very limited. The trade for Beef ruled dull the quality was generally a secondary description, and only for some peculiar Ileasts was 48 4d the stone, and 3s 4d to 3s 8d for other kinds of English. Foreign on an average be quoted 2s led. Of Sheep the supply was rather large, and far more adequate to the demand, which was more restricted than on last Monday. The quality of Mutton was, as in Beef, of a more inferior description than usually is the case on a Monday. The prices quoted were with difficulty maintained. There was a large number of Beasts and Sheep turned out unsold, but more in proportion of the latter. In Veal and Pork an almost equally dull state of trade prevailed. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE OCTOBER 18. The arrivals into this port, up to Friday's market and sub sequently, contain a liberal accession of English, Irish, and foreign Wheat combined, with a fair supply of barley, malt, and oats, coastwise arid from Ireland ; including, compared with previous weeks of late, a tolerable quantity of Flour from the latter source, but only 2634 barrels of States and Cana dian, as specified below. Controlled by the general depression of trade in this dis trict, the languid accounts from most of the leading Corn markets of the kingdom, and more especially the abundance and extremely low rates at which Oatmeal and Potatoes are freely offered, and to which the labouring classes, the great consumers of cheap food, have recourse at present, any extensive operations in Wheat at our Corn Exchange to day have been impracticable ; induced, however, by holders of this grain acceding generally to a decline of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. from the terms of this day week, the millers purchased to a moderate amount, but merely for immediate purposes. Occasional, but by no means extensive, sales of Flour were effected, at a slight abatement in the value of all descrip tions of English, Irish, and Foreign, except choice brands of Canadian, which retained our last quotations. Barley, continuing in slow request, was the turn cheaper; and Malt, attended with a dull sale, declined Is. per qr. Beans and Pease remained nominally as described on Friday. LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES.
