poet !. VERSES ADDRESSED TO THE EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE. For the Liverpool Standard. Thou massive pile, that from the ocean's bed, In conscious strength uprear'st thy stately head, The furious winds that o'er creation storm, In vain with ire assail thy stately form ; The raging seas, the lightning's deadly flash, The rushing thunder-bolt, all vainly crash Against thy rocky sides, thy stormy front, Firm, and unshaken, braves their furious brunt. When murky midnight broods upon the waves, And o'er the sea the headlong tempest raves ; Bright, and blazing burns thy friendly light, 'Midst ll the gloom, and horrors of the night ' - Th e storm-pressed seaman on his homeward way, Sees, and rejoices at thy warning ray; Long n . say'st thou stand, amidst th e r u s hing tide, The sailor's friend, his guardian, and his guide. Liverpool, 1842. R. C A CLAIM IN AN ALLEGORY BY ELIZABETH B. BARRETT Grief sate upon a rock and sighed one day — Sighing is all her rest. " Welaway, welaway ! ah, welaway !" The river beat the rock, and she her breast— " Ah, welaway ! las me ! ah me, ah me !" How sorely sighed she. A Cloud spake out of heaven, softly as rain That falls on water—" Lo, The Winds have wandered from me—l remain Lone in this skiey waste, and cannot go To lean my whiteness on the mountain blue, Till wanted for more dew. " The San bath struck my brain to weary peace, Whereby constrained and pale I spin for him a larger golden fleece Than Jason's—yearning for as full a sail. 0 Grief, when thou hast sighed to thy mind, Give me thy sighs for wind, "And let them carry me adown the west." But Love—who, prostrated, Lay at Grief's foot, his lifted eyes possest Of her full image —answered in her steed " Now nay, now nay ; she shall not give away What is my own, for my Cloud that flieth ! Where Grief makes moan, Love claim his own— And therefore do I watch here all the day, Eking my life out with the breath she sigheth.” LIDERARY NOTICES England in the Nineteenth Century. Lancashire, Northern Division; part 7. London : How and Parsons. The present number contains a description of the country, baronial halls, antiquities, and present condition of the neighbourhood of Blackburn, Chorley, Preston, Lancaster, Fleetwood, &c. ; and abounds in interesting descriptions and excellent wood-cuts of the principal objects worthy of notice. In the explanatory pages appended is a mass of highly important statistical information. The Book of British Ballads, Edited by S. C. Hall, Esq. Nos, 2 and 3. London : How and Parsons. The spirited publishers of this magnificently illustrated collection of our British ballads have adopted, apparently, the opinion that gems of price should be richly set. To the noble strains of departed chivalry and romance which, res cued from oblivion by the labours of Percy, Ritson, Scott, Motherwell, and others, were familiar to our youth " as household words"—strains which alternately stir the heart "as with a trumpet call"—or steep it in sorrow and " dole"— we have nothing in our modern literature at all comparable. They mingle with all our happiest memories ; they are twined up with all our purest and happiest feelings ; they bring back fresh and near, those days which we have dreamt away in the intoxication of romance, and the forms of those, now scattered through the world's wide waste, who shared with us the delight with which we wove vision after vision of " moving accidents by flood and field"; of helmed knights and veiled ladies, ' Giants enchanters and chimEeras dire ;" and we hail with pleasure their collection in a casket worthy, indeed, of pearls so inestimable. 'We have now before us parts 2 and 3 of this splendid pub lication, and we know not which most to praise—the judge ment and taste displayed by the compiler, Mr. Hall, or the beauty of the typography and illustrations. To each ballad is prefixed two pages of explanatory and antiquarian matter, furnished by Mr. Hall ; and upon each page containing the ballad itself is a wood-cut illustration, beautifully executed by the best artists which Great Britain can produce. Some of these excel infinitely many of the most finished steel en gravings, and are admirably designed. The work is printed entire upon plate paper, and the typography is not excelled by that of any publication which we have seen. No. 2 contains the continuation of " The Nut Brown Maid," " Kempion," " The Child of Elle," "The Twa Brothers," and a part of " The Blind Beggar ;" and No. 3 the remainder of "The Blind Beggar," "Robin Good fellow," " Sir Patrick Spens," " Gil Morice," " Sir Aldin- Sir Lancelot Du Lake." Amongst the artists I are—Creswick, Scott, Landells, Vizitelli, Kenny ___dews, E. Corbould, and others of leading talent. Each ballad is to be illustrated by one artist, in order, we pre sume, to insure uniformity of design and execution. As a matter of course, nothing except a very extensive sale can remunerate the spirited publishers for the vast out lay required in the production of such a work ; and for the credit of British art, taste, and we may add national feeling, we trust that their expectations will not be disappointed. r," and Ireland; its Scenery, Character, Si - c. By Mr. and Mrs S. C. Hall. Part 21. London : How and Parsons. This delightful work progresses beautiful as ever in illus tration and description ; and we are ever and anon tempted to exclaim when perusing it—" Fortunate is the land and the people whose beauties and character are delineated by an author and authoress in every way so peculiarly fitted for the ' The illustrations in the present part are equal to those of any former part ; and that is ample praise. We give, as a specimen of the work itself, the following beautiful sketch, illustrative of the popular Irish superstition of the " Banshee," or Death Fetch : The only daughter of parents of sufficient distinction, in the estimation of the people, to have an attendant spirit, was loved by, and returned the attachment of a youth, her infe rior both in birth and fortune. She was one of those quickly susceptible and gently yielding creatures who, although gifted with warm affection, have probably not the strength to sus tain it " Through grief and through danger, through sorrow and shame." "While he was by her side, she felt as though she could have died sooner than have forgotten him ; so she said and thought ; and they used to meet stealthily in the moonlight, and before the lark had poised her dewy wings in the morning sun, and exchange vows of everlasting constancy ; believing all they uttered to be the pure and unalterable truth. The girl, at this time, had not been sixteen years in the world, but the young man was four-and-twenty. Irishmen have the repu tation of being quick at love, and quick at forgetting : it was not so with him. His nature was firm as it was fervent; he would have loved her had she been the poorest girl who watched the sheep upon his native mountain. " I will not wed you against your father's will," he said, " but I will win you and wed you. I will go abroad, Mary ; I will gain a name and come back to you with fame and honour-1 will do this, by God's great grace ; I will be your faithful hus. band in the eyes of heaven, whose stars shine brightly on us now, if you will swear here, kneeling by my side, to wait, free from all other love, till I return." The girl sank on her knees and did as he desired; placing her finger against his finger, she slipped on to his a ring, esteemed by her family as one of rare virtue, making him in return promise that if he died or became indifferent to her, or married another, he should return her the pledge. This he readily agreed to do, and the lovers parted ; Mary exclaiming in the wild anguish of her first sorrow, " Surely, surely, it' he had loved me as I loved him, he would never have proposed this parting. Well, well, he knew I would have flown with him to the world's end." And he did know it ; but her weak and childish nature was unable to appreciate the virtue of the sacrifice he made by tearing himself from the only thing he valued on earth : no taint of selfishness sullied the brightness of his dev o ti on ; h e wou ld n ot submit her to the pangs of self- reproach for having deserted her aged parents ; he would give up all, sooner than subject her to the privations which the bride of a soldier of fortune must have endured. Years rolled on ; six or seven passed away, and no tidings arrived of the ab sent had disturbed; as they did pass, the first suspicion that her mind gained strength,—" If he had loved me as 1 loved h Part ing. It might o, he would never have proposed this Part t:eshe r e f erre d t o this feeling as an excuse for the ficklenes s of her own heart ; for the arguments and entreaties of her fsTIY induced her, at len:th, to listen to the addresses of a wealthy suitor, and, after some reluctance , t o agree to espouse him it is th a t this was not but justice to Mary to state, until a lo n; after she had waited, and wa ited, with the sickness there heart, for the hoped for return of her lover ; were pl en ty w illi ng and ready to work upon her doubt s of his fidelity delight t o t a lk of—whis clelity and stories came T 1 , t h e " foreign parts " the Irish u t h a t the absent one was untrue to the vows of his early love.

" What! " exclaimed the first speaker, in a half- thin whispe r; " you do not mean that — have y e heard any g, Nell; dear ? " The two tattered crones drew more closely toge ther, and the questioned knocked the ashes out of her pipe to reply. " You know the family has a follower , dear—they're of the rale .ould sort ; and that 's never forgot. The Banshee that does be afther them is not as strong as she used to be long ever ago, though she 's strong enough to giv e the death warning ; it 's as good as six years since Miss Mary's first sweetheart met her for the last time, and I was coming up the glen, the same night, from ould Marky R oone 's wake ; and I came upon them unawares ; and then I kept still. not to disturb them, for she was crying like a new-born babby that had lost its mother; but his words without tears would pierce through stone walls. Well, I saw them put finger to finger, and slip a ring ; and as they did, and as sure as there's but one star of the thousands looking on us now, the cry came through the air soft and sorrowful—not the wail for present death, but for what would end that way." " Maybe," suggested her c ompanion "it was for him " For him ! " repeated the narrator, In a tone of deep in dignation. " Why, then, I' m ashamed of your ignorance, ye poor craythur !is it dottng ye are, woman alive What right would the like of him h ave to the cry of a Banshee ? Graliagh! indeed—for him !" ~, • t‘.l4e4ta s y, NT - , there's enough about it ; sure I'm not LN I r thir ih e as yerself—did ye ever hear it since, ~ C IAPer- -A. riLikiftbiaiiit . ib*s this ready acknowledgment of suntiri ,lll.*lt ther6lltek.g. mysterious sounds declared that the . 47 t-: • ' - ' rk evenin' Misther O'Neil and the priest, and the hard man,' and her mother, and all, persuaded Miss Mary to plight a troth—she had no right to plight—that same night the cry was heard more than once about the place, sharper and clearer than before. Who heard it besides she could not tell ; she only knew she heard it, and would swear she did, to her dying hour. ~ And it was nearer, you say ?" " Nearer and sharper—too near, as some will find ; it can't be for her mother, and if it was for her father, I can't see the sense of its houlding on when its she that's acting. The first time I heard it, it wound through the air like a misty cloud creeping up a mountain—it was a soft, sor rowful wail; the second time, it was bitter and angry." " And the third time, avourneen ; what was it like the third time ?" " I've not heard it the third time—yet," answered Nelly solemnly ; " and I don't care if I'm longer so—that's all. The fine ould families are fading out of the counthry intirely —going away like chaff—and such spirits will have no call to the new people. My father, God rest his soul! used to say, that, from what he knew, he was sure they would soon quit the counthry. Maybe so ; but anyhow, we'll be lonesome when they go, for it's hard wanting the knowledge that we're cared for by something besides the bare flesh and blood !" " And when will the wedding be, Nelly ; sure a wedding's a God-send these hard times; it's hard if we don't get full and plenty at the bridal of the heiress !" "Ah 1' said the other. " To-morrow week, agra! and there'll be heaps of quality in it ; besides lashins of eople from far and near ; and all the ancient customs kep' up— all!_so it will be worth the going to, these hard times." Although the bride could not be said to give any symptoms of repenting her new betrothment, she took little seeming interest in the proceedings; perhaps she had been taunted with the vulgar reproach of old-maidenhood—led to believe it would be wrong for the last of her line to go down unmated to the grave ; and this, added to the doubts that had gained strength with years, and the unaccountable fact of her having received no tidings of her former lover, conspired to seal her destiny. . . It was not the custom at the period to which we refer for the bride and bridegroom to absent themselves immediately after their marriage ;, and the wedding was solemnised after the usual Irish fashion—the bride remaining to do the honours and receive the guests ; as was also the practice, at that time, the window-curtains were allowed to remain undrawn, so that the crowd without could feast their eyes on the crowd within, whose movements they observed and com mented on ; and when anything particular pleased them, they testified their sympathy by a wild " hooroo." The two women whose observations we have recorded were also there ; their withered faces pressed occasionally against the glass. the more perfectly to observe what was going on ; occasionally they abused those who pressed too closely on them from behind, and vented their spleen in bitter words and curses. Suddenly, Nelly, whose reputation for fore knowledge had gained her anything but a pleasant popularity, crushed her bony fingers round her crony's' arm—' Whist, did ye hear nothin' ? " " Nothin', dear, but the boys hoorooing, because the bride is making her curtshey' to another stranger." " Ye'r a deaf fool! " exclaimed Nelly, throwing the arm from her. The bride had risen to meet a strange guest who, unknown and unannounced, had entered the large parlour where the feast went forward ; without returning her salutation, he asked her for a drink. She proceeded to do the duties of Irish hospitality, and with her own hands presented to him a goblet of wine ; this he refused to touch, requesting her to exchange it for water, which, he declared, was his only be verage. She then presented him with the water, which he drank ; but she observed that as he returned the vessel, he dropped something into it : before she could ascertain what it was, he had disappeared amid the crowd. Ere she replaced the goblet, however, she took from it her own ring; she knew it well, and instantly ;—it was the same she had given her betrothed, at their parting. No doubt remained on her mind as to her having seen her former lover. She was greatly moved by the circumstance, and yet had sufficient presence of mind to keep it to herself, and the feast went on. After the lapse of about an hour, a woman rushed into the room to seek the priest ; terror was impressed upon her countenance. She said that a stranger who had asked for shelter beneath her roof, and who seemed labouring under strong emotion, had dropped—she feared dead, upon her hearth ; and that she had come for " the clergy," and advice as to what she was to do. The truth now burst upon the bride. He did, indeed, really and truly love her. Forgetting her ill-advised mar riage, and clinging to the hope that he was yet alive, she proceeded to the woman's dwelling. As she crossed the threshold of her father's door, although the night was calm and mild, a fierce and mighty wind rushed round the house; all paused and trembled at the cry—the well-known wail of the Banshee, so full, and then so agonising in its dyin g fall. " That 's music for false footsteps," muttered Nelly. " Yet, be he dead or living, that wail is not for him." But the bride flew on—the only one of the terror-stricken revellers who did not pause or pray. She flung herself on her knees beside him—pressed her hand on his heart—there was no motion. She called him by his name—there was no reply ; stooping down, she kissed his lips—there was no return ; then well she knew that he was dead. In the pre sence of her kindred and her husband, she tore the silver riband from her hair, and burst forth into a wild death-cry of her land and name—a mournful keen over the dead body of her lover. The impetuous feelings of her girlhood seemed to have returned with tenfold strength ; and as she uttered the last line, she fell dead upon the body of him who had loved her even unto death. " Her heart," to use the figurative lan guage of her people, " was split asunder." In death was fulfilled the pledge of love. They were laid side by side— the wedding feast furnishing the funeral. Once more, and in a few weeks after this lovers' tragedy, the Banshee cried again : it was for the father of Mary O'Neil—the last of his line in that part of the country, where two trees are still shown as heading the grave of those who " in death were not divided." VARIETIES THE LITERARY CHARACTER.—Literature is apt to form a dangerous and discontenting pursuit, even for an amateur. but for him whose rank and worldly comfort depend on it, who does not live to write, but writes to live, its difficulties and perils are fearfully increased. Few spectacles are more afflicting than that of such a man, so gifted and so fated, so jostled and tossed to and fro in the rude bustle of life, the buffetings of which he is so little fitted to endure. Cherish ing, it may be, the loftiest thoughts, and clogged with the meanest wants : of pure and holy purposes, yet ever driven from the straight path by the pressure of necessity or the im pulse of passion ; thirsting for glory, and frequently in want of daily bread : hovering between the empyrean of his fancy and the squalid desert of reality ; .cramped and foiled in his most strenuous exertions, dissatisfied with his best perfor mances, disgusted with his fortune—this man of letters too often spends his weary days in conflicts with obscure misery ; harrassed, chagrined, debased, or maddened—the victim at once of tragedy and farce—the last forlorn outpost in the war of mind against matter. Many are the noble souls that have perished bitterly, with their tasks unfinished, under corrod ing woes! Some in utter famine, like Otway ; some in dark insanity, like Cowper and Collins; some, like Chatterton, have sought out a more stern quietus, and turning their indi gent steps away from a world which refused them welcome, have taken refuge in that strong fortress, where poverty, and cold neglect, and the " thousand natural shocks which flesh is heir to," could not reach them any more.—Carlisle's Life of Schiller. PAPER MONEY.—A humorous illustration of the virtues of a paper currency is the following, from the St. Louis Mound, American paper :—" It seems that a party of gen tlemen were telling their experience,' whilst standing in front of the Gas-light Office, when a well-known genius came along, and breaking into the party,' told his story something in this wise Hold your horse,' says he, and if you want to hear the greatest shaving story that you ever did hear, just keep cool. I never have, in all my life, had much money on hand at any one time; but a short time be fore the suspension of specie payments by the Miners' Bank of Dubuque, I had 200 dollars of her bills, and when I heard the news of her failure, I thought she would rise again, so I held on to the money. After a few weeks I saw it was going to ruin, and I determined to get rid of it ; so I took it to a broker's an d exc h ange d it f or C a i ro , a t 30 per cent. discount. This I look on as paying pretty dear for a shave ; but the next thing I heard was that the Cairo Bank had blown up ; and I goes off to a broker instanter, and off comes 25 per cent. more, and then I had the product of my speculation in the State Bank of Illinois money. Next thing, away goes the State Bank—busted all to pieces, and hang me if I didn't loose 30 per cent. more in obtaining Shawneetown money ; and then 1 thought I was safe with what little money I had got—but alas for all worldly affairs !—down goes the Shawneetown Bank—refused to resume—panic raised—and to prevent the brokers from shaving me again, I went to a private individual, and gave him all the Shawneetown money I had for 20 dollars in Ohio money, and on offering to pass it I was told that it was counterfeit. And now, whether you believe it or not, I tell you, gentlemen, it is a fact, there is the whole remains of my 200 dollars.' Upon this lie pro dubed two ten dollar bills on the Geauga Bank of Paines ville, exclaiming, Yes, them two cursed counterfeit notes on the bank of Geauga are the whole remainder of my money speculation.' " HUMAN SACRIFICE. — From the Indian papers it appears that a race known as the " Khouds" has been considered sufficiently formidable for the government to depute an officer for the express purpose of observing its peculiarities. This officer (Lieut. Macpherson) has published a regular report of his investigations, the inquiry being set on foot for the ultimate purpose of abolishing the practice of human sacrifice, to which the race is inveterately addicted. These Khouds, it seems, occupy the mountainous region of the Gangam and Cuttack districts. According to their theology, the " Bera Pennoo," or earth-god, holds the pre-eminence among the national deities. The earth having originally been an unstable mass, unfit for cultivation, this earth-god ordered that hu man blood should be spilled before him. The soil then be came firm and productive, and the deity of the Khouds com manded the repetition of the sacrifice as necessary to exist ence. Carrying out the principles of this creed, the Khoud thinks that every field must be enriched with human blood when the principal crops are sowed ; another oblation of the same kind is required at harvest time and in case of any in cidental calamity, such as an epidemic disorder, an attack of wild beasts, &c., the wrath of the earth-god must be ap peased by this barbarous sacrifice. The victims are Hindoos purchased for the purpose, and are treated as sacred persons till their time of immolation comes, when, amid the most elaborate ceremonies, they are torn to pieces, yet living, by the crowd. To stop these barbarous proceedings the govern ment of India feels that it is morally bound, but the means of effecting the desired reformation are not at all obvious, as the Khouds consider the sacrifice as absolutely necessary to their existence, and would struggle hard to maintain it, while they are scattered over so wide an expanse of country, and the climate is so unwholesome, that military occupation would be almost impossible.

No improvement has taken place since Saturday in the condition of this noble and distinguished statesman.—Kingston-house, Sunday evening, six o'clock." The suspension of payments of the respectable house of King and Melvil, cornfactors, was announced on Saturday, and created a considerable sensation in the City.

THE RAIL AND THE TURF.—A horse belonging to Lord Eglinton, run at Doncaster on Monday week, was trans ferred to Leicester by the North Midland and Midland Counties Railways, won a race at the races of that town on Wednesday, and was afterwards transported back to Don caster, to run a third time there on Thursday. PRESENT FROM THE BLIND.—The Glasgow Society for the Blind, on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to Scotland, knitted a hassock, in silk and worsted, for a sofa pillow, lined with satin and fringed, as also a playball for the Prince of Wales. They were presented at Taymouth Castle, when her Majesty commissioned four similar ones to be made, besides making a pecuniary present to the institution. THE INCOME TAX.—According to the Act of Parliament strict secrecy is enjoined on the commissioners and subordi nates appointed under this inquisitorial law. A striking il lustration is afforded by the knowledge that the " west end" collectors are to be heard freely canvassing the returns of the " City" merchants, instancing that a well-known firm have returned their profits as £60,000 a year ; two others at £40,000; and several more at £30,000; also that a highly influential body have stated their average profits to be up wards of half a million annually ! So much for secrecy.— Globe. Her Majesty, when in Scotland, was graciously pleased to express an anxious desire to promote, by every means in her power, the tartan manufactories of the north. Her Majesty, in order effectually to carry out her beneficent designs and to prove the royal determination to patronise this highly im portant branch of manufacture so extensively embarked in in Clackmannanshire, Perthshire, and Stirlingshire, has never appeared, either in public or private, since the return of the court to the castle, without some portion of her attire being composed of the tartan manufacture of. Scotland. DOVER.—On Saturday last, a large anchor, weighing'about 19 or 20 cwt., and supposed to be from a Dutch foundry, was brought into Dover harbour. It was found four days before, about 50 miles from this place, in the German Ocean, oppo site the North Foreland, but at some distance out at sea, by some fishermen, in whose nets it became entangled. Having obtained assistance from some other boats, they lashed a cable to it, and it was finally brought on shore. From its appearance at present, it is thought to have been sunk for a period little shore of 20 years. It is, however, still in good preservation, the arms, which are of wood, being apparently as sound as when first cut.—Kentish Observer. ARRIVAL OF LORD ASHBURTON FROM NEW YORK. — The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, arrived at Spit head on Friday afternoon, bringing home Lord Ashburton from his mission in America. His Lordship left the War spite between two and three o'clock, and landed at Gosport, the ship saluting him when he left her, and the battery on his landing. The Warspite has been 17 days from America, having left on the morning of the sth inst. She was becalmed two days, or she would have made the run in fifteen days. Lord Ashburton, upon landing at Gosport, immediately proceeded to his residence at Anglesea, where Lady Ashbur ton has been waiting his arrival We hear upon good authority that there is really some truth in the report that her Majesty intends to be a frequent if not an annual, visitcr to Scotland, and that the idea of having a Royal residence in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh is seriously entertained. We understand that one of our most eminent architects has received instructions to report upon the condition of Craigmillar Castle and ihe grounds about it, with the view of determining whether it be possible so to repair this ancient structure as to render it a fit residence for Royalty, or, if that be impracticable, to ascertain the probable expense of providing a new house altogether. We are informed also that persons in authority have been making inquiries regarding Abercorn House and policy, which, if connected with the castle, would afford a capital drive from Craigmillar to Holyrood. We can only say, we sincerely hope that these circumstances are true ; for undoubtedly the presence of Royalty during a part of the season would be highly beneficial to the Scottish capital.—Edinburgh Post .

THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE. — The following singular case took place at the Guildhall, Plymouth, on Tuesday. A man named William Knight, dressed in the garb of a labourer, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the previous night. The sitting magistrate offered to remit the penalty he had incurred, adding, however, the reservation that he should promise better conduct in future. When this con dition was made known to the defendant, he immediately re plied, with a determined shake of the head, " I can't make any such promise whatsomever ; I'd rather pay the fine." The magistrate (whose countenance betokened infinite sur prise.)—" What, not make a pledge to save ss? Why, I never met with such an instance in the whole course of my experience. Unless, however, you will promise not to be guilty of a repetition of such an offence, I muss enforce the penalty." Defendant—" Well, if you must, you must, but I can't promise not to get drunk again ; so here goes hand ing the money to the sergeant of the court) ; I hope, how ever, you won't catch me here again." PROGRESS OF POPERY.—The Papists loudly boast of the encouragement they are at present receiving in the extension of their doctrines in England. A new mission is to be es tablished at Chester ; subscriptions to a very large amount have been received towards defraying the expenses. Owing to the exertions of one of their bishops—Dr. Bigge—a plot of ground has been secured, on which it is intended to erect a church, house, and schools. The erection of a chapel in the same place is nearly completed. " Our great and holy faith," says one of their addressers, "is daily gaining strength, and extending to every part of the kingdom." And upon this assurance is founded the following invitation :—" Let every one who reads this report and address, or hears of their object, consider himself as ap pealed to, and invited to join in his holy undertaking; let him hasten to share in the merit thereof; let him send his penny, sixpence, shilling, crown, or sovereign, through his pastor, or a member of the committee, either with or without his name, and in addition to the consciousness of his having done well, he has every reason to hope for a still higher reward." Another chapel has been erected, during the pre sent month, at Frenchwood, near Preston, and dedicated to St. Augustine. A splendid altar-piece has been presented by Mr. Taylor Bulwer, representing the Epiphany, or offer ings of wise men to the infant Jesus. IMPORTANT PROVISION CONTRACT.—The large annua government contract for supplying the navy with Irish pro visions was taken on Thursday afternoon at Somerset-house. The quantity required was 16,000 tierces beef and 14,000 tierces pork. It was taken by London houses at from 10s. to 12s. per tierce below the prices of the Irish manufacturer. The following were declared the contractors : Beef.—Cox, Heisch and Co. 12,500 E. Swiney 16,000 Pork.—Cox, Heisch and Co E. MlSwiney Barclay and Friend Jones Brothers E. R.

ACCIDENTS ON RAILROADS.—By a recent ac t o f parl i ament no tice must be given of all accidents that occur on the several which day it came into operation,) it is provided railways. By the act which was passed on the 30tI July thev last (on the seventh section, " That every railway company h a b i within 48 hours after the occurrence upon the railway Ys lbe longing to such company, of any accident attended with serious personal injury to the public . using the same, give notice thereof to the lords of the said committee (the Board c o e f Trade) ; and if any company shall wilfully omit to give such notice, every such company . shall forfeit to her Majesty sum of £5 for every day during which the omission to give the same shall continue, and every such penalty may be re covered in any of her Majesty's courts of record, or in th e court of session, or any of the c o urts of Scotland." It is pro. vided by the 14th section, that in case of accidents, or slips happening or being apprehended to their cuttings and em. bankments, or other works, the companies shall . have power to enter upon the lands adjoining their respective railways, for the purpose of repairing or renewing the same ; and . to . do such works as may be considered necessary. Additional powers are granted under this act for the punishment of per sons guilty of misconduct. All persons drunk on the works, or maliciously or negligently omitting to do any act, which may endanger the lives of any of the passengers, are to be seized without any warrant, and taken before a m agistrate, who has power to imprison the offender for two months with hard labour, or to fine the party any sum not exceeding £lO for each offence. SHARP PRACTICE.—A few days ago, at the horse fair of Machecoul, a gendarme, named Montagne, having had his attention directed to a deserter, who had long evaded arrest, and who had committed a number of robberies in the coun try, and was also suspected of murder, went up to him and ordered him to surrender. The deserter resisted, and a struggle ensued, in which both parties came to the ground. The gendarme called on the crowd to assist him, but not a man stirred. After a desperate contest Montagne contrived to draw his sword, and placing it on the breast of the deser ter, declared he would pierce him through the body if he stirred. The deserter continuing to struggle, and having struck the gendarme with great violence, the latter plunged the sword into his body, and killed him on the spot. On rising up, he again called on the bystanders to aid him in taking the body to the station of the gendarmerie, but this was refused. Ile then went to his office, and having made his report, gave himself into custody. He has since been removed to the prison of Nantes. THE CUSTOM Housn FItAUDS.—The inquiries into the frauds committed by the employis of certain departments of the customs have been most searching, but as they have not yet been brought to a conclusion, facts and circumstances cannot be given with aaything like truth. With many of the extraordinary disclosures, as given in evidence before the commissioners, we are acquainted, and at the fitting time we intend, without reserve, to give! the details to the public. Wnen we say that the frauds committed are not confined to thousands of pounds, or hundreds of thousands of pounds, future statements, derived from authentic sources, will prove this to be the largest of Government frauds, the Beaumont Smith exchequer bill forgery affair not excepted. In the examination of witnesses, and as respects prevarication, one thing is certain—that the authorities of the customs depart ment are anything but impartial, as subsequent reports will, we believe, show to demonstration.—morning Herald. The notorious Deutz, whose name has been so odiously mixed up with the arrest of the Duchess of Berry in Novem ber, 1832, been arrested in Paris, and was on the point of being tried under a charge of mendicity and vagrancy. The unfortunate wretch, after squandering 500,000 francs, paid him for betraying that Princess, had fallen into the most abject misery. It will be remembered, that he abjured Judaism, and was admitted into the Catholic church, under the auspices of the Duchess of Berry, who had even condes cended to act, as his godmother on his baptism. In ;1833 Deutz returned to his original creed, and whilst his father lived he received from him ample rneansof existence. After the death of his parent he was obliged to have recourse to the charity of his co-religionists ; but this resource at last failing him, he was reduced to beggary, arrested in the street, and lodged in a charitable asylum.

They were deter mined to have one more look at every interesting object, and their questions showed some knowledge of the coast. As they approached the district of Alnwick Castle, they began a little debate as to whether the edifice would be seen or not. The Queen thought they should see it ; Prince Albert was of a contrary opinion ; and one word brought on another, until they appealed to Captain Bullock, who gave his casting vote against her Majesty, explaining that it was covered by a dip in the land. However, if the castle was not seen it was very well heard, for it fired a Royal salute in excellent style. On Friday morning the Trident was off Flamborough Head. When islands were approached they sailed between them and the main land, steering as well as possible through the centre of any fleet of merchant ships which they came up with, her Majesty being desirous that all parties should have an opportunity of seeing and being seen. When they made the Fern Islands her Majesty remembered the heroism of Grace Darling, and was evidently touched on hearing that the brave young woman had died but a few days before. * * The Queen is a good sailor, but as yet Prince Albert does not relish the salt water. He was so distressed at one time that he was obliged to say he was " struggling between nausea and hunger." The Queen assured him it would be all over by the time he reached Windsor Castle, at which he could not help laughing a little. The redundancy and curi osity of the fair sex astonished him. " Wherever I go, he said, " I see as many women as men, even here at sea, in open boats !"—John Bull. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—On Friday afteinoon an inquest was held at the New Bailey prison, Manchester, before Mr. Rutter, the county coroner, touching the death of William Tankard, of Salford. From the evidence ad duced, it appeared that the deceased vim imprisoned for one month, for the non-payment of the penalty and costs of an assault, of which he had been convicted before two magis trates at Heap. On Monday, whilst washing his hands, he was suddenly taken with a shaking and shivering. He was taken into the hospital, and attended by Mr. Barton Stott, surgeon of the prison, whom he informed that he had been bitten in the hand by a mad dog, about six weeks ago. Mr. Stott ordered a bason of water to be brought; and he was convinced from the shock which the deceased experienced by the sight of it, that he was affected with the hydrophobia. Mr. Stott procured the assistance of Mr. Jordan, and they administered seine emetics to the patient, cupped and blistered him, and used every means in their power to afford him some relief. They visited him frequently, and two of Mr. Stott's pupils remained up with him all Wednesday night. During that night the patient was perfectly tranquil, and the paroxysms were slight; but he did not sleep at all. The medicines operated as the physicians wished ; and the patient continued in a composed state till about half-past three, on Thursday a fternoon, , when he was seized w ith a violent paroxysms. At four oclock he was visited by Dr. Hulme and Mr. Thorpe; Mr. Jordan having previously obtained permission of the magistrates to call them in. Mr. Stott and Mr. Jordan administered more medicine to the patient, after which the attack became less violent. • At a quarter past twelve o'clock, on Thursday night, anotl)er severe fit came on, and he expired immediately afterwards. During Wednesday, he took bread soaked in hot water, but could not take it in cold. He also drank (though with great difficulty) coffee from a teapot. During some of his severe paroxysms, it required six or eight men to hold hire. He stated before his death, that the dog that bit him, had a chain and a part of a rope about his neck. He appeared to have broken loose from his owner; and when the deceased attempted to lay hold of him, he bit him in the hand, a little above the second joint of the thumb. The dog barked after wards at some children in running away from the deceased. The jury returned a verdict o " Death fro m hyd rop h o bi a , produced by the bite of a dog. f " MEETINGS OF CREDITORS volt LIVERPOOL. SEPTEMBER. HOUR 27, ditto, (proof & final div.)

The market has been quiet, and the sales do not exceed 100 hhds., chiefly Kentucky stemmed. No Virginia of the new import yet sampled.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, SEPTEMBER 2d, 1842. On Friday and Saturday last the Hay Markets were exceedingly well supplied with all descriptions of Agricultural produce, and although there was a very heavy stock of Potatoes brought for ward by our local farmers, this root, as well as all other descrip tions, met a free sale at much about our last quotations. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

The sales of the week are again only 12,710 bales, principally taken by the trade. COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 26, The destruction of so much Cotton, (near 60,000 bales) by fire, has caused a lighter market, and the advance obtained on all American Cotton, below sd, is fully id lb. The influx of buyers has given the market a more animated appearance, though it is deficient of that buoyancy which usually pervades it when a brisk trade is at the back Of it. On Saturday 3500 bales were sold, and to-day fully 4000, all to the trade. COTTON MARICET.-WEEKLY REPORT, The market has contifirned heavy during the week, with no dis. position on the part of the Trade to increase their purchases, not withstanding it is now understood that the operatives have very resumed work. Little change has taken place in prices, except in the lower qualities of Surat, which have declined id per lb, the late arrivals having bCen offered more freely. A calamatuous fire occurred this morning, by whiCh it has alrady been ascertained that nearly 40,000 bales of:different descriptions of Cotton have been destroyed; but until the actual extent of the loss is known, no deduction is made from the estimated stock. Exporters have taken 200 American and 200 Surat. There kill be offered by auction on Friday the 30th, 1000 Sea Island, 300 Stained do. and 150 West India.

Having no lively reports from London or other markets to animate the trade here, and the millers beginning to receive rather better supplies of new Wheat direct from the growth enable them to proceed with a less portion of old. At our Corn Exchange this morning, therefore, all descrip tions of Foreign seemed to be nearly without demand, receding in value at least Id. to 2d., and Irish new 3d. to 4d., in some instances 6d. per 70Ibs. below the current rates of Tuesday; whilst English new, although very few samples appeared, was decidedly cheaper. States and Canadian Flour, upon a very limited inquiry, was 6d. per barrel lower ; but English and Irish, being . scarce, remained at late prices. Of Malting Barley we have no supply ; meantime Grind ing qualities continue in slow request, on the terms last noted. Malt, Beans, and Pease exceedingly dull, and each Is. per quarter cheaper. • Oats were taken off very sparingly, at our last quotations ; and Oatmeal, attended with a slow, lingering sale, declined Is. per 2401b5.
