pottrp. SING WITH US-SING WITH US THE SWEET SONG OF YORE. BY JAMES STONEHOUSE. Sing with us—sing with us the sweet song of yore, When happy young voices were mingled with ours; When we thought that the world had joys in such store, That strew'd were its pathways all over with flowers! We thought not of briars entangling the way, Impeding the journey in trav'lling along; But fancied that round us all life would be gay, And fill'd with such music as that little song! But as onward we trod, oh ! rough grew the road : All the flowers decay'd, the thorns leaving bare; The burthen youth felt not, age thought was a load, And th' heart found no dreaming of childhood was there. We paused to look back, but the solitude chill'd, When suddenly came o'er the ear the old strain. Recalling the past, while through memory thrill'd The scenes of our life's sunny morning again ! A PARTING WORD. [The following lines, the production of a young poetess, and addressed off-hand to her sister, who had been on a visit to her in hopes of deriving some benefit to her health, are respectfully submitted to the Conductors of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD for insertion in their paper, if they consider them at all worthy.] Can I tell thee how it grieves me When I think that we must part ? Yea, my very thoughts deceive me— Sorrow deeply fills my heart. May that guardian hand protect thee, As thou journey'st on thy way, And His blessing be upon thee, Dost thy loving sister pray. When thou think'st of goneby pleasures, Which thou once with me hast shared, May thou think of better treasures, Which for all have been prepared. When thou reach that home of childhood, Where both thou and I were trained, Think of thy then absent sister, Whose fond heart to thine is chained. When thou see'st thy friends around thee, All delighted thee to see, May I ask thee but this question, Wilt thou, wilt thou think of me? Should we part to meet no more In this world of changing scene, May we meet on that blest shore Where our hopes—our wishes lean ! Now may heavenly guards protect thee, My poor prayer for thee shall dwell ; And may thou not cease to love me, — Though we're absent, fare thee well! A. M. L. WHAT WILL YOU DO, LOVE ? (From Handy Andy.)—BY SAMUEL LOVER. " What will you do, love, when I am go-ing, With white sailflow-ing, The seas be•yond ? What will you do, love, when waves di-vide us, And friends may chide us, For being fond 1" " Though waves di-vide us, and friends be chi-ding, In faith a-bi-ding, I'll still be true; And I'll pray for thee on the stormy o-cean, In deep de-vo-tion ; That's what I'll do !" " What would you do, love, if distant ti-dings Thy fond con-fi-dings Should under-mine; And I, a-Li-ding 'neath sultry skies, Should think other eyes • Were as bright as thine 7" "Oh, name it not ; though guilt and shame Were on thy name, I'd still be true; But that heart of thine, should another share it, I could not bear it ; What would I do ?" "What would you do, love, when home re-turn-ing, With hopes high burn-ing, With wealth for you, — If my bark, that bound-ed o'er foreign foam, Should be lost near home ; Ab, what would you do ?" " So thou wert spar-ed, I'd bless the mor-row, In want and sor-row, That left me you ; And I'd welcome thee from the wasting bil-low, My heart thy pil-low ! THAT'S what I'd do !" THE LODGING HOUSES OF MANCHESTER. (From Mr. Notes Evidence on the sanatory condition of the labouring population.) " The occupants of the night asylums are chiefly tramps and beggars, the customary tenants of the lowest lodging houses, who find a mug of coffee, with half a pound of bread, a warm room, and a blanket, far preferable to the filthy crowded lodging-houses, with four or five inmates in a miserable bod, at 3d. each. " Mr. Walker, the proprietor of an extensive silk-mill at Patricroft, near Manchester. describes the crowded state of an Irishman's house near his mill some time back. The man was employed by Mr. Walker as watchman, and lived in a cottage of three small rooms, near the premises, without back door or windows. Mr. Walker had engaged some fresh hands from a distance, and was desirous of procuring lodgings for them near their work; he asked the Irishman if he could accommodate them in his house ; Paddy re gretted that he had not room, and added, 'Faith, I turned out thirty of them to the mills this morning ; ' so that at 9d. per week each, he would receive at the rate of near £4O per annum, as rest for the house for which he probably paid 2s. 6d. per week. " One shilling may be considered as a minimum weekly rent at which the owners or landlords will let their cellars or rooms, or take the trouble to collect ; but on inquiry I have found that a second or intermediate class of landlords are interested, and that these shilling rentals are again sub-let and divided by the tenants to a still more needy class ; and the rooms are not considered fully occupied while there is space for others to pig,' or stow themselves on the floor ; and the accommodation is sought by men and women of the lowest grade, without reference to sex or decency." STRANGE OPERATION OF THE ROGUES IN GRAIN. As before observed, some forced sales of Mexican stock at what was regarded a considerable sacrifice in the price naturally attracted attention and led to inquiries as to the sellers and their objects. In the result it is stated.to have transpired that the sales were on account of certain parties, Quakers, largely embarked in the corn trade, and more largely, perhaps, engaged in corn speculations. The infer ence of course was, that Mexican stock was sacrificed in order to keep up, or to raise, the price of corn in Mark-lane, where these Quaker corn gentry are well known. On re ferring to the state of the corn market during the week, a strong suspicion cannot fail to be excited that such was the fact. All last week Mark-lane was in a panic, what with failures of corn merchants and the ascertained consummation of a bounteous harvest. Prices of wheat fell a long way down, even so late as Monday last as much as four shillings per quarter, and many demure visages on the Corn Exchange were observed to fall longer still. What was to be done in such an extremity ? Speculative stocks of foreign corn heavy and unsaleable on band ; bills approaching maturity ; specu lators passing into the Gazette; and prices down daily. If prices were to be rallied and strung up ; if market credit was to be bolstered up so that discount brokers might be propiti ated, it was clear that sellers must be routed from the Corn Ex change, or at least reduced to a minority by a host of buyers. To effect these important objects, some ready money must be forthcoming, and to raise this only two modes were apparent, either to sell Mexican Bonds or unbonded corn. The latter process would only have exasperated the mischief, and so the sacrifice of Mexican was resolved upon as the most if not the only feasible scheme. Of this sort of stock it is well known that the speculative, and certainly not the most cre ditable, portion of theQuakercommunity, are and have always been large holders, and therefore the recourse was easy and at band. The effect of these sales of Mexican stock is already aPParent in the Mark-lane manoeuvres of the day. The " Corn-Exchange report" thus records them :—" 'We have to note a farther arrival of about 15,000 quarters foreign wheat, which, however, has been met by a most animated lewland. The tone of the market is completely changed. * * * All descriptions (of corn) have improved in value 3s. Per quarter, and even ss. higher than sales forced off this day week." In order fully to appreciate the dexterous des peration of this sort of double operation, and the extent of damage voluntarily voluntarily submitted to in order to accomplish, by for the of the stock in bonds, an exorbitant monopoly price stock of grain, it is necessary to remember that Mex ican bonds weae generally thought to be considerably below their real 1r likely to able, and the value to which ere long they were month stain,an airec For one dividend upon them is due next dividend a tIY in hand, whilst a large proportion of the Exchange acc o r l i a n April next is also in hand, not in Corn much for one set pdation bills, but in hard dollars.

NEW PLAN FOR THE WEST INDIA MAIL PACKET SERVICE. TO COME INTO OPERATION ON THE IST OCTOBER NEXT. No. I.—OUT ATLANTIC.—ONE LARGE STEAMER. Out mails leave Southampton on the Ist and 15th of each month, to Corunna, Madeira, and St. Thomas. Total from Southampton to St. Thomas, 19 days 6 hours. REMARKS ON TAI3LE No. 1. _ _ The company's ships will leave Southampton on the Ist and 15th of each month, or at farthest, on the following day, and, so long as they are required to do so by her Majesty's Government, will call at Falmouth to receive the outward mails, leaving that place on the 3d and lith of each month. They will then proceed to Corunna, where they will remain 12 hours to replenish their coals. They will then proceed to Funchal, Madeira, where they will remain, without anchoring, as short a time as possible, to land mails, &c., not exceeding, at farthest, six hours. From thence they will proceed to the island of St. Thomas, which it is calculated they will reach in about 19 days anti a half from the time of their leaving Falmouth. - On reaching St. Thomas, the ship from Europe delivers all the outward mails to four steamers there waiting ; one for the Demerara route, as shown in table No. 2 ; one for Jamaica and Havana direct, as shown in table No. 6; one for Porto Rico, Hayti, Cuba, &c., as shown in table No. 4; and the , Ith for Bermuda, as shown in table No. 5. Having thus dispersed all the outward mails, the steamer from Europe, remains to coal, complete, and refit, after her voyage, and she will be ready to form one of the four steamers to assist in the dispersion of the outward mails arriving at the end of 15 days, by another steamer from Europe. Should the outward steamer not reach St. Thomas before midnight on the 22d day from her appointed day of departure from Falmouth, the four collected steamers at St. Thomas proceed with the inter-colonial mails on their respective routes ; the out mails in such case being considered missing mails, to remain after their arrival at St. Thomas, till the next out mails from Europe arrive and are dispersed. The average time occupied by the steamers on their out ward voyages, hitherto, from Falmouth to Barbadoes or St. Thomas, has been less than 18 days; thus 22 days, the time prescribed for the departure of the inter-colonial steamers, allows two days above what may be required, and to carry the fixed detention at St. Thomas to a greater extent, would only be productive of inconvenience and irregularity, as re lates particularly to the next outward steamer arrived at St. Thomas, after an interva l of 15 days. No. 2.—DEMERARA STATION.—ONE LARGE STEAMER. Out mails arrived at St. Thomas, as shown in No. 1, in about 19 days 6 hours. In 22 days, therefore, from the date of leaving England, this steamer starts for her destination to Tortola, St. Kitts, Nevis, Mountserrat, Antigua, Guada loupe, Dominique, Martinique, St. Lucia, Barbadoes, and Demerara. Total going to Demerara and returning to St. Thomas, 14 days 5 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 2. The arrival of the outward mails from Europe is shown in the preceding table. This steamer receives all those mails, or inter-colonial, which are destined for any of the places specified in tables Nos. 2 and 3. She leaves St. Thomas, therefore, as soon as she has re ceived all her mails; but, at all events, before midnight on the 22d day after the departure of the out-mails from Fal mouth, as shown in the concluding remark on Table No. 1. Two hours have been allowed for stoppage at each island on the route to Demerara and back ; but as the postmasters and others will receive orders to have the various mails made up and ready for exchange before the steamer arrives, the re spective captains will curtail their stay at each place to the least time required for changing mails and passengers, thus gaining what they can at one place to compensate unavoidable delays at another. Proceeding thus as rapidly as possible, this steamer will, at Barbadoes, deliver to a steamer there waiting all the outward and inter-colonial mails for places specified in Table No. 3, and go on herself direct to Demerara. At Demerara she will remain to coal, until 30 days 15 hours reckoned from the time appointed for the outward mails leaving Falmouth. She then returns as rapidly as possible to St. Thomas, receiving by the the way all the home and inter-colonial mails from the dif ferent islands, and those from Table No. 3 will be delivered to her, also, by the branch steamer at Barbadoes. On reaching St. Thomas she delivers the home mails to the steamer bound to Bermuda, and if the Demerara steamer has any spare time before her next departure for that place, she will occupy such time in coaling, for which purpose she is to have preference to all the other steamers then at St. Thomas. The mails to and from Berbice are to be forwarded overland to Demerara, as formerly. No. 3.— TRINIDAD STATION.—ONE SMALL STEAMER. Out mails arrive at, and are despatched from Barbadoes, in 25 days 8 hours, to St. Vincent's, Grenada, Tobago, Tri nidad, Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent's, Barbadoes. This brings the branch steamers to Barbadoes to receive them. Total going from and returning to Barbadoes-6 days 13 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 3. This steamer will receive from the Demerara steamer at Barbadoes, as shown in the preceding table, all the outer and inter-colonial mails destined for places specified in table No. 3, with which she proceeds as there stated, remaining at Grenada, going and return to coal. She is to regulate her stay at Trinidad so as to leave it pre cisely in 29 days 6 hours after the out mails left Falmouth, returning by the same route to Barbadoes, collecting home and inter-colonial mails by the way, which she is to deliver to the Demerara steamer going to St. Thomas. Having performed this service, this branch steamer waits at Barbadoes till the arrival of the next outward mails, &c., from St. Thomas, when she proceeds as before. The quantity of coals to be taken in at Grenada is stated at 70 tons each way, calculating by the supposed consump tion ; but this is not intended to prevent the captain taking even 100 tons each time, if he conceives it to be necessary. No. 4.— JAMAICA STATION.—ONE SMALL STEAMER. Out mails arrive at and are despatched from St. Thomas in 22 days, to St. Juan's Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, St. Jago de Cuba, Jamaica, St. Jago de Cuba, Cape Haytien, St. Juan's Porto Rico, St. Thomas. Total from and re turning to St. Thomas, 14 days 2 hours. REM ARKS ON TABLE No. 4. _ On the arrival of the steamer from Europe at Saint Thomas, this steamer receives the outward inter-colonial mails for Porto Rico Hayti, and St. Jago de Cuba, with which she proceeds as shown in Table No. 4. Like the Demerara steamer, !she must leave St. Thomas's as soon as she can get those mails, and at farthest before midnight on the 22d day after the time appointed for the outward mails leaving Falmouth. The Jamaica out mails are not for warded by this steamer, but by a direct steamer, as shown in Table No. 6. This arrangement is made to afford the island of Jamaica seven clear days for replying to its correspondence. Having delivered the mails at Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, and St. Jago de Cuba, this steamer proceeds to Jamaica, where she remains till 31 days 15 hours from the time the out-mails left Falmouth, when she receives all the home and inter-colonial mails from Jamaica, and returns by the same route to St. Thomas, picking up home mails and ex changing inter-colonial mails by the way. On her arrival at St. Thomas, the home mails, '&c. are transferred to the steamer bound for Bermuda ; and, in due time, the steamer employed on Table No. 4 performs the same work over again. As this steamer will have nearly five days and a half to lie at Jamaica, she will complete her coal there to 400 tons, so as to require no coals at St. Thomas. Should the stay of three hours each place, allowed at Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, or St. Jago de Cuba, going and returning, as shown in the table, be unavoidably exceeded or curtailed, the stoppage at Jamaica must be regulated ac cordingly, so as to ensure this steamer leaving that place as before mentioned in 31 days 15 hours from the date of the outward mails leaving Falmouth. No. S.—BERMUDA STATION.—ONE LARGE STEAMER. Home mails arrive at St. Thomas, and are despatched from thence in 37 days from the date of the out mails leaving England, to Bermuda, St. Thomas. Total going to and re turning from Bermuda, 12 days 20 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 5. _.. This steamer is employed to receive all the home mails collected by the steamer employed on tables Nos. 2,3, and 4, as also the outward mails for Bermuda, provided they arrive before midnight on the 22d day after they are despatched from Falmouth. This steamer proceeds with the whole of the home mails to Bermuda, where she meets the steamer from Ha vana, receives from her the mails, &c., for England, and after completing fully her stock of coal, proceeds to Europe, as shown in table No. 8. The steamer from Havana completes her coals at Bermuda, and in 30 days 10 hours from the time the last Bermudean mails left England this steamer proceeds to St. Thomas, where she will be ready to receive and convey the next out mails for the Demerara route. A good Bermuda pilot is to be kept constantly on board the ship that performs the duty on Table No. 5, and the cap tain, not being hard pressed for time, is never to attempt going into Bermuda at night, or in thick weather. No. 6.— HAVANA STATION.—ONE LARGE STEAMER. Out mails arrive at and leave St. Thomas in 22 days to Jamaica, Cape Antonio, Havana, Nassau, Bermuda. Total going from St. Thomas to Bermuda, 17 days 22 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 6, On the arrival of the out mails at St. Thomas's this steamer receives the out and inter-colonial mails for Jamaica —the Chagres Station, table No. 11—Havana, Nassau, and Mexico, table No. 7. With these she proceeds to Jamaica direct, where she delivers, every alternate time, the Santa Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres mails to a schooner wait ing at Jamaica for them. The steamer waits at Jamaica 24 hours, and coals, as far as practicable ; then proceeds on to Havana, where, every alternate time, she meets a schooner, to which she delivers the Honduras mails, and a steamer with the Mexican mails. The Havana steamer remains there about four days, or as long as may be necessary to complete her coaling ' • after which she takes up the route as shown in table No. 7, and performs that service. As soon as the Havana steamer reaches Bermuda, she completes her coaling, and is then disposable to take up the route to St. Thomas, as shown in table No. 5, or to proceed for Europe, if required, as shown in Table No. 8. The steamer from St. Thomas, as shown in table No. 5, is calculated to reach Bermuda in one day 14 hours after the Havana steamer ; but should she not appear in that time, the steamer from Havana must not depart for Europe till 11 days after she had quitted the Havana. This will allow three days for any casualty delaying the steamer from St. Thomas.

Having received home mails, specie, &c., from Mexico and Vera Cruz, she then returns to Havana, meets the outward Mexico steamer, receives coals sufficient to reach Bermuda, and proceeds upon that route, as shown in table No. 6. Although it is stated in the table that four days is the time a llowed at Havana for coaling, yet this steamer must never leave that place for Mexico with less than 450 tons, taking time, at all events, to complete that quantity, but preserving rigidly the time for leaving Vera Cruz —namely, 54 days 16 h o urs after the out mails left England. 0 days No.B.—HOME ATLANTIC.—ON E LARGE STEAMER.

In 43 or 41 d ays, nr or as soon as the steamer from St. T h omas has completed he r coals, the whole of the home /nails leave Bermuda for England. REMARKS on TABLE No. 8. As it must be optional with the company's superintendent at Bermuda which steamer of those there collected he will send to Europe, this table has been made out separately, though in reality it is merely a continuation of the homeward voyage. In general, the steamer proceeding home will be the one from Demerara; and she is not to quit Bermuda till her coal is complete, so as to render it unnecessary to coal at Fayal or Falmouth, and to obviate the possibility of being short of coal in the chops of the channel. Having landed the mails at Falmouth this steamer will proceed without a moment's delay to Southampton. No. 9.—LA GUAYRA STATION.—ONE SCHOONER. Out mails for La Guayra and Porto Cabello arrived at St. Thomas in 22 days from England, when this scheoner pro ceeds with them, to Laguayra, Porto, Cabello, and St. Thomas. Total going and returning to St. Thomas, 25 days 20 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE NO. 9. On the arrival of each alternate steamer at St. Thomas from England, this schooner proceeds as poited out in table No. 9, with the out aid inter-colonial mails for La Guayra, which place she will leave in 35 days from the time the out mails left Falmouth. This will generally afford three days (if not more) at La Guayra. She then proceeds to Porto Cabello, waits there one day, and brings the home and inter colonial mails from both places to St. Thomas, where she will arrive about three or four days before the next alternate out steamer arrives from Europe. After her return to St. Thomas this schooner delivers the home mails to the steamer bound to Bermuda, receives the La Guayra out mails again, and proceeds as before. No. 10.—CHAGRES STATION.—ONE SCHOONER. Out mails for Santa Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres arrive at Jamaica in 25 days from England, when this schooner proceeds with them to Santa Martha, Carthagena, Chagres, and Jamaica. Total going from and returning to Jamaica, 27 days 21 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 10. On the arrival of each alternate Havana steamer at Ja maica this schooner proceeds, as shown in the table No. 10, to Santa Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres, stopping about two days at each of the two former places, and about four days at Chagres, to collect home and inter-colonial mails. She must leave Chagres on her return to Jamaica in precisely 43 days 13 hours from the time the out mails left Falmouth. On reaching Jamaica she receives the next out mails, and proceeds as before delivering her home mails, so as to be taken to St. Thomas by the steamer employed on table No. 4. No. 11.— HONDURAS STATION. , —ONE SCHOONER. Out mails for Honduras arrive at Havana in 30 days from England, when the schooner proceeds with them to Hondu ras and Havana. Total going from and returning to Havana, 27 days 20 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 11. On the arrival of each alternate out steamer at Havana this schooner receives the out and inter-colonial mails, and proceeds with them to Belize, Honduras. She leaves Hon duras again with home and inter-colonial mails in 46 days 22 hours after the out mails for that place left Falmouth. This allows a stoppage of about a week at Belize. On reach ing Havana she delivers the home and inter-colonial mails to the proper steamers, receives the next out mails for Hon duras, and proceeds as before. THE BUILDING SOCIETIES OF MANCHESTER. (Extract from Mr. Molt's Evidence upon the Sanitory Condition of the Labouring Population of England and Wales.) " DWELLINGS. " An immense number of the small houses occupied by the poorer classes in the suburbs of Manchester are of the most unsubstantial character ; they are built by the members of building clubs, and other individuals, and new cottages are erected with a rapidity that astonishes persons who are unacquainted with their flimsy structure. They have cer tainly avoided the objectionable mode of forming under ground dwellings, but have run into the opposite extreme, having neither cellar nor foundation. " The walls are only half-brick thick, or what the brick layers call brick noggin,' and the whole of the materials are slight and unfit for the purpose. " I have been told of a man who had built a row of these houses ; and on visiting them one morning after a storm, found the whole of them levelled with the ground; and in another part of Manchester a place with houses even of a better order has obtained the appellation of ' Pickpocket row,' from the known insecure nature of the buildings. " I recollect a bricklayer near London complaining loudly of having to risk his credit by building a house with 9-inch walls, and declared it would be like Jack Straw's house,' neither wind tight nor water tight !' His astonishment would have been great had he been told that thousands of houses occupied by the labouring classes are erected with walls of 4 inch thickness. " The building land is not let, as in the south, on lease, but on a perpetual ground-rent, or chief-rent, as is called here, at per square yard, and not, as in London, at per foot frontage. " The chief rents differ materially according to the situa tion, but are in all cases high ; and thus arises the induce ment to pack the houses so close. " They are built back to back, without ventilation or drainage ; and, like a honeycomb, every particle of space is occupied. Double rows of these houses form courts, with perhaps a pump at one end and a privy at the other, common to the occupants of about 20 houses. " I have not been able to obtain any correct return of the number of houses built by the various building clubs or societies. " A gentleman conversant with these subjects informed me that there had probably been, from the commencement, 150 of these building societies. Taking each club at 100 shares of £lOO :each, there must have been raised in this manner for building cottages £1,500,000; and calculating each house to cost £6O, which is a higher average, there have been not less than 25,00 houses erected by building societies in Manchester and the adjacent townships. " These building clubs have doubtless induced many to adopt frugal habits, in order to become owners of cottages ; but I am afraid it will be found that the promoters of them are not free from selfish and interested motives. " The members engage to pay by subscription or instal ment 10s. per month. "Thus every second month, in a club of 100 shares, they have £lOO available for building ; and this is disposed of in the following manner : . _ " A day is fixed when the amount is to be tendered for, and those who will make the greatest sacrifice, or allow the largest discount, may obtai❑ the amount. " If a member have fixed upon a spot and is desirous of building a cottage, he is perhaps induced to offer £lO for the immediate payment of the £lOO ; another may, probably, offer £l5 or £2O, that is to say, they are willing to receive £BO, £B5, or £9O present payment for their £lOO share in the society. _ _ " Their monthly instalments, to complete their engage ments to the club, are secured by a mortgage upon the houses, the money being only advanced as the building pro gresses. In this manner a member is enabled to get a house built in his own name by the time he has paid 20s. to the society. " The first applicants for the money are those who have the strongest inducements to procure the advance and offer the largest discounts. The heavy discounts allowed for the advances, and the forfeitures by non-performance of the con ditions, enable those members who can wait, and are inte rested in establishing these societies, to get abundantly paid for their outlay and exertions." FRIGHTFUL MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS MO THER, AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERESS. (From the Merthyr Guardian of Saturday.) The unfortunate woman who was principal actor in the mournful scene was named Mary Evan. She lived with her husband at the Red Cow, a decent public-house, situate about four miles from Llantrissent, and one mile from Tonyr- Efel. The inn is well known on the road, and none who frequented it ever suspected that Mrs. Evan was a person at all likely to commit so dreadful an act. She had formerly been a servant in the family of Mr. Harris, of Treverig—in that occupation she continued three years—and faithfully performed her duties. She was 44 years of age. On arriving at the Red Cow a frightful spectacle presented itself. The house was filled with weeping and wailing friends. The wretched husband sat groaning in a chair by his desolate fire-side, and the shrieks of the neighbours who, now and then, ventured into the rooms where the bodies lay, were absolutely appalling. We first went into the room in which lay the dead body of the poor little fellow, William Evan. He was six years of age, and as the neighbours touchingly remarked, " his mother's boy." He was her only child, and she was passionately fond of him. On Wednesday morning, Mr. Evan got up for the pur pose of proceeding to Cummer, at which place he had built some houses. His object in going was to receive some rent due to him. He left the Red Cow, between seven and eight o'clock in the morning.. Before his quitting the house, his wife went to the child's bedside and kissed him twice. After this, what passed within the house is merely a matter of con jecture. The only two persons why could give au account are no more. At about ten o'clock, a little boy who had been in the habit of taking the poor murdered child to school for him. the door and windows were closed. He fancied he heard a noise as of knocking in the house, but supposing that the people within were busy, he went off. At that moment, it is most probable the child was being murdered. The Red Cow is not a much-frequented house, and thus may account for the unnoticed closed doors and windows during the hours of ten and three o'clock, at which time the husband returned from Cummer. When he got to his own door it was closed, and so were the window shutters. After ineffectual knockings he, with a gentleman of Aberdare, who had stopped just before for a glass of beer, burst open the door. The room below was quiet and clean ; all was in order. His wife having been of late subject to low spirits, a fear flashed on Mr. Evan's mind, and he went up stairs. The first object which he saw was the lifeless body of his wife. She was suspended from a beam, and quite dead. Two persons, named Thomas Williams and Evan Matthew, cut her down. At first it was supposed that she was alive, as both her feet trailed on the floor. On a closer examina tion it was found, that before placing the cord round her neck, her throat had been cut. The manner in which the cord had been placed over the beam was striking. Mrs. Evan must have made two turns, and then fixed a noose at the end of the rope on a peg, which was in the timber, thus preventing the noose slipping, and frustrating her deadly purpose. When the husband saw the body he had no idea of the death of his child, but the blood on the hands of his wife ex cited his fears. He proceeded to the parlour, and there lay lSis son with his throat cut in a shocking manner, and quite dead. He lay in a pool of blood. When we saw the poor child h e h a d b e en removed to a t a bl e , b u t the appearance of the ro om was terrific—the bl oo d covere d th e floor. In a pool of gor e l a y the razor with whi c h th e mur der was com mitted, s shown mndostthiepnrtotri probable eboslweonft bloodh th a e t poor adr b kr oi a.

It is not a little singularhat although Mrs. Evan's hands an d arms o l were n nd w covered s found with in n n blood to the elbows, yet not a trace f blood was have cut her throat down the room where she hung her tto her self. She must it is supposed, stairs, and then , finding that he ineffectual, she hun g herself, a!empt destroy life was adjusted it before - h and. having provided the rope an d Mrs. Evan had of late been observed and shy, but n o apprehensions of her injuring herself were to be low spirit e d however, e ntertained.

She poverty, and as her hu sband had borrowed Ennne enable him to finish his house s, at Cummer, she seemed to afraid that lie never would be able to repay it, although there was not the slightest ground for her misgivings. We have since beard that the unfortunate woman attempted her own destruction and tha t of her child some yearssince, when she strapped the boy on he r back, and walked into ossible, river. They were then saved , t o experience if p • the a dreadful fate. The following curious inscription is copied from a tomb stone in Lincoln Cathedral :—" Here lieth ye body of Michael Iloneywood, D.D., who was grand-child, and one did of ye 367 persons that Mary the wife of Ricbd. H., see before she died, lawfully descended from lier—that!s, 16 of her own body, 114 grand-children, 228 of the third generation, and 9 of ye fourth." SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY. (From Messrs. R. MAKIN dr SONS' Circular.) With the exception of a few thousand quarters of foreign Wheat, and about 5000 barrels States and Canadian Flour, our supplies are not much increased since Friday ; and from granary we had not so large a show of samples at this day's market as last week. The reaction which has occurred throughout the country, particularly at those places where the large i mports have been received, has not been followed up here by a degree of spirit such improvement would seem to war rant; the advance required has materially limited the pur chases, and we can only state a moderate amount of business in Wheats to-day, at an average of 3d per bushel over the rates of this day se'nnight. A few parcels of new Irish red Wheat have appeared. and brought about 7s, and one lot of very prime Scotch white as high as 8s 6d per 70Ib. . . States Flour is ls. Gd., and Canadian is. per barrel dearer, but a less ready sale than previous to the advance. The few samples of new Irish Oats at market were taken off at 2s. 10d. to 3s. per , 15lbs. We had litile inquiry for old Oats, but do not alter our quotations. The demand for old Oatmeal has a good deal subsided, and the above stated advance is now barely obtainable. The value of new Oat meal is about 2Ss. per load. In other articles of the trade there is no material change to note. _ The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat meal computed to remain in Liverpool, on the 31st August, 1842 : In Bond—Barley, 91i 5 qrs. ; Oats, 8399 qrs. ; Rye, 172 qrs. ; Beans, 33,938 qrs. ; Pease, 17,274 qrs. ; Flour, 9016 barrels.

GlPsins.—One of the most remarkable features in the history of the gipsies is the striking similarity of their pur suits in every region of the globe to which they have pene trated. They are not merely alike in limb and in feature, in the cast and expression of the eye, in the colour of the hair, in their w a lk an d ga it, b u t everyw h ere they seem to exhibit the same tendencies, and to hunt for their bread by the same means, as if they wer e n ot of the human, but of the animal species, and in lieu of reason were endowed with a kind of instinct which assists them to a very limited extent and no further. In no part of the world are they found engaged in the cultivation of the earth or in the service of a regular master; but in all lands they arc jockeys , or thieves, or cheats ; and if ever they devote themselves to any toil or trade, it is assuredly in every material point one and the same. We have found them in the heart 6f a wild mountain, hammering iron, and manufacturing from it instruments either for their own use or that of the neighbouring towns and villages. They may be seen employed in a similar man ner in the plains of Russia, or in the bosom of its et erna l forests ; and whoever inspects the site where a horde of gip sies have encamped in the grassy lanes beneath th e h aze l i hushes of merry England, s generally sure to find re li cs o f tin and other metal , avouching that they there have been exercising the arts of t the tinker or the sm ith. P er h aps no thing speaks more forcibly for . the antiquity of thi s se t or caste th a n the tenacity with which they have uniformly pre served their peculiar customs since the period of their be coming ge nerally known ; for, unless th e i r h a bi ts h a d b ecome a part of their nature , which could only have been effected by a strict devotion to them through a long succession of gaierations, it is not to be supposed that, after their arrival in civilised Europe, they could have sustained and cherished them, precisely in the same manner, in the various countries where they have found an asylum. — Borrad's Gipsies. ENGLISH SURNAMES, SX.--Sirnarne differed originally from Surname. Mac -Allan, v F i tz-Harding,.Ap Tudor, and St e ph en son, are properly Sir-, or Sire-names, and are equi valent to the son of Allan, of Harding, of Tudor, of Stephen. Of Surnames, Du Cange says, they w ere a t fi rs t wr i tten " no t i n direct line after the Ch r i s ti an name, b ut a b ove it, between the lines ;'' and hence th ey were called in lat i n Supranomina, in Italian Supranotne, and in French Sur noms, from which, I suppose, the E ng li s h terms i s der i ved. A Sur-name is, therefore, a name supera dd ed to the first or Christian name, to indicate to which the individual bearing it belongs, as Edmund Spencer, J o h n Milton, Alexander Pope. Hence it is evident that, alth oug h every sirname is a surname, every surname is not a s i rname ; a di st i nct i on which is now scarcely recognised, and the two words are used indiscriminately by our best writers. The termination ward indicates some office, and is equivalent to k eeper or custos— thus Milward is the keeper of a mill (probably some manorial or monastic mill;) Kenward, the dog-keeper ; Aylward, the ale-keeper ; Durward, the porter or door-keeper ; Hayward, the keeper of a common herd of cattle belonging to some town ; and Woodward, a forest-keeper, " an officer that walks with a forest-bill, and takes cognizance of all offences committed, at the neat swain-mote or court of attachments." Howard certainly belongs to this family of names, but anti quaries are not agreed as to the m ean i ng o f t h e fi rst sy ll a bl e. Camden makes it the high-warden; Spellman, the hall keeper ; Verstegan, the keepvr of a stronghold ; and Skinner, a keeper of hospitality- The family of Oakes bear acorns, (very natural that they should !)-the Butlers, of Ireland, bear three covered cups, (very proper again !) the Lambs, three lambs; the Bacons, a boar; the Pines, a fir-tree or pine ; the Parkers, a slag's head; the Calls, three trumpets; and the Fsatherstones, three feathers. Someti mes t h e crest can t s when the arms do not; this is the case in the family of Beevor, a beaver ; Ashburnham, ash-tree, &c., &c. STATIONS OF THE BRITISH ARMY, ON TIIE IST OP SEPTEMBER, 1842.

The " league" manufacturers—cunning fellows—have played their game well. The great increase in the price of goods has in a twenty-fold degree compensated them for the loss occasioned by smahed windows and plugless boilers, old stocks have become ex hausted—fresh orders pour in—better prospects loom in the dis tance—and, as " needs must when the devil drives"—terms have at length been erme to with the lately enraged operative, wrio (always loyal, now doubly so, with his belly full) peacefully and industri ously plies at his vocation, very much to the satisfaction of all con cerned. But has it not been a dangerous and desperate game ? Echo the question ye Millionaires. Large buyers of Butter abstain from spirited operations until the upward tendency of the barome ter of public feeling shall have been entirely confirmed. In the meantime a goodish retail business is going on, and the price of last week is perfectly sustained. Advises from Brazil are unfa vourable ; the pickled Butter market is a little affected thereby. and seconds of the most unquestionable respectability are offering at 735. to 745. We hope there is no foundation for the report that Foreign provisions are to be admitted into competition with Irish for the supply of the Navy contract ; it would be a piece of liberal ism that one should protest against with both hands. There is much uncertainty in the trade at present. Merchants are ex tremely diffident in ordering free on board, whilst the curers appear "at sea" as to future operations. We think that good heavy Irish Beef will be wanted, and fetch fair prices. Pork must be very cheap, a fact which will necessarily affect the price of Beef, but not to such an extent as may generally be imagined ; ships must be supplied with a certain proportion of the latter, be the price of the former never so low. Holders are all very anxious to meet the new season empty handed, we find it therefore `difficult to offer a correct quotation, perhaps, however. Beef may, be fairly rated ut 955. to 110 s. per tierce. Pork at 555. to 625. per barrel, as in quality. The demand for Bacon has become trivial, and a fine article may be bought at 445. per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 2. -------- _ An exceedingly quiet day in Cotton ; the amount of busi ness does not exceed 2500 bales, at similar prices to yester day. The sales of the week are 21,000 bales : speculators take near 5000, and the trade the remainder. Prices gene rally id. per lb. lower. COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 5 The demand for Cotton has almost subsided, consumers (who are fortunate enough to be at work) are working up 'their stocks. Speculators have entirely withdrawn themselves, so that we appear unusually quiet. On Saturday 2509 bales were sold,"and to-day only 2,000, prices stationary. the b uyer having the advantage. At the same time holders found it useless to press their stocks, and now seem quiet, and willing to wait a revival of demand.

The duty on Foreign Wheat is again advanced this week, being now 12s. per quarter, with a certainty of an increase in th e rate until it reaches close upon the highest point; that on Rye is raised to Bs. 6d., on Pease to 9s. Gd. per quarter, and on Flour to 7s. 2d. per barrel : the Colonial Wheat duty also will shortly be higher. We have a fair fresh supply of Wheat from European ports, with a few thousand barrels of States and Canadian Flour, which forming the bulk of the arrivals into this port within the past three days, the general imports are rather moderate ; the market at the same time being less pressed with samples from granary, and the improved tone lately manifested here being confirmed by a corresponding feeling in London and several leading markets of the country, the trade has assumed more buoyancy between Tuesday.last and to-day ; the disposition to purchase Wheats on speculation has continued, and at the rates of our last Circular, some large sales have been effected, but many holders looking for an advance has served to check much general business. At this morning's market both town and country millers freely paid the full rates of Tuesday, for the general qualities of Wheat, and inclusive of one or two parcels taken for holding over, a fair amount of business has been done. A. good demand was also experienced for Flour, fresh descrip tions of which are becoming comparatively scarce, and for such Gd. per barrel advance has been obtained to-day. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, we have no alteration to note, there being scarcely any enquiry for any of these arti cles to-day. Old Melding Oats were in better request, but no improve ment on late prices could be effected : rather extensive pur chases of old Oatmeal, the stock of which is much reduced, were made on country orders, and an amendment of Is. per sack was realised : the supply of new coming forward in very limited Quantity ; a small lot of the latter brought 28s. Gd. per 240 lbs. Much rain has fallen on Wednesday night and yesterday, which appears to have been general through this district ; but the interruption to harvest work, in the small compass where it is incomplete, is only temporary, to-day being again very fine, with brisk drying winds.
