Numerous earners were plying in every direction. The Che tst, with its hills, windmills, patches of green, and tattle, presented a picturesque and refreshing object :ye ; but Liverpool, with its lengthened forest of s lofty warehouses, its numerous spires, and I know —by-the-by, I was forget- es of quayage— the docks, the most splendid thing of all ; but Liver 1, I say—why it was Liverpool, and that 's all I can set is a peculiarity of this port that all the shipping is locked ) safe in docks, and that the navigation of the river lies len and unimpeded at all times. Very few vessels have ed to lie out in the river, and very few are to be seen at There are berths for all that come, and all D; and the Mersey ebbs and flows, rarely sus- anchor without at wait to g, burden except in transilu, or for very short It owes this freedom of its course to he docks of Liverpool !—a noble piece of work 1.

Let us s bustling scene, I say. Some other time we may return to it ; and then, only name that part of the world to which you would wish to direct your course, and I will an- swer for it you will find a vessel here to take you. Here is the far-famed Water-street before us—let us into the town, heave-to at an hotel, and have our breakfast. Liverpool can boast of hotelerie without stint, and hotels of every calibre and price ; but as ill luck would have it, we lirected to one not exactly suited to our purposes o bough a very excellent one, doubtless, in its kind. I e much frequented by that order of travellers which Sterne omitted to insert in his catalogue—namely s for orders, and who certainly have knack of introducing the perpetual motion, or something 'hey honour with their calls an s a pia( order which tray into wh. tever hous, But we had a capital breakfast, notwithstandi were in fine order to enjoy in all its luxury—a having done ample justice, with " airs ne " and toilet completed, we set forth on our excursio a the town. We took a hasty view of the Town-hall he Custom-house, and nearly all the public 'hick the churches certainly formed, by far, on. The people of Liverpool, said we, must nably be religious, for here we have a church in y rtreet.

But what pleased us still more e leading streets, was the va nce of the second-rate shops all throw ttrast which Liverpool thus presents wit rich we had just left, and which was freshest upon our s most striking.

Why, then, prepare for the Ind what these are, let Daniel O'Connell or completed a other Irish patriot sing or say for me, with an appro tvirra-strue. But when you have seen a pretty toler measure of fair streets and good houses, shopped o wise in Liverpool, you have to prepare only for seeing aye, more of the same order and quality still. Ii n you pass from splendour (a splendour, by the way 'ten on the surface only) to beggary—from the elegan ons—once of the nobility—of Merrion-square and Ca th-row, to the squalor and misery of the Liberty ; bu ou have no such swift transitions to make there are some very capital mansions, worthy of an it and flourishing city, in Abercromby-square, Bedford , Mount-pleasant, and that neighbourhood ; but there hers to match them in Islington, Shaw-street, and luarters. But take an inferior order of messuages and appurtenances as the subject of comparison, and you sort of republican equality widely prevailing, which it ghtful to contemplate.

Next day being Sunday, we did not fail, in the morning, to re-kindle the flame of heavenward musings by attending the church of the celebrated minister of St. Jude's—nor in the evening to drink in the sweet harmonies of the Blind Asylum chapel; but I have not half-done with secular mat ters yet, and must postpone my sabbath walks and pen, till these are all disposed of. Sufficient, however, for the day— to-morrow we shall resume. LY VEGETATION.—Grass has already appeared in our The first load for the season was sold in the New irket, •on Saturday last.

All who have read Lady Chatterton's charming Rambles ill the South of Ireland, will expect in the present work a rich and racy melange; and they will not be disappointed. The Sketches and Recollections is indeed the most fascinating book that we have enjoyed for many a long day : it is so foil of exquisite sentiments, and amiable common sense ; so pic- tiful and the pure—that we scarcely know how to convey to the reader an idea of the treasurable variety contained in these volumes. Home and foreign tours, or visits to sites conse crated as the abodes of genius, or dearly associated with his tory—form the staple. Ireland is not forgotten, and the ac complished authoress ventures to hope, that of the many who kindly followed her guidance in the " green island," a few at least will be found willing to accompany her through some of the fair scenes of her native country, and to touch once more upon Irish ground, in their flight to other lands. The work contains two or three nouvellettes ; but, brief as these are, they exceed our limits, so that we must quote from the more detached portion. ENGLISH AND FRENCH Womor.—A French gentleman said to- day he thought the generality of English women more frivolous, devoted to the world and dissipation, than the French. I have often heard it asserted, that the conversation of French women is more intellectual, that they are more accustomed to converse on interesting and important subjects than the English. This is very natural in a country where conversational powers and agreeability in society are so much esteemed. But the imputation of the fri. volity of English women excited to-day great indignation among the Englishmen present. My idea is that we are more frivolous than we used to be—more than the last generation. There is a passion for society now afloat which destroys our old genuine do- mestic feelings. Our homes, our country places, are deserted, and I never can forgive us for this ROSSTREVOII —The scenery of Rosstrevor is celebrated, but its beauty far exceeds my expectations ; and then there is no appear ance of squalid misery to mar the effect, as is too frequently the case in Ireland; here the people look happy, and the cottages are comfortable, as \Nell as pretty. The women indeed often wear no shoes or stockings ; but they have such pretty feet, and the other parts of their dress look se neat and clean ; the bright coloured handkerchief is so well arranged over their shoulders, and the little plaited white caps so becoming, that one cannot help fancying the foot is left uncovered, more to shew its beauty than from poverty, Tuesday—The weather would not allow us to ascend the highest mountain near this place, which we had intended to do to-day. So we strolled about between the showers, and passed many pleasant garden belonging to different villas, which the hours in the lover owners most kindly allow strangers to enjoy. Each of these abodes seems to vie with the others in loveliness; good taste is shown in the architecture of the dwellings, as well as in the arrangement o the garden walks, the greenhouses, and the rustic bridges which are thrown over mountain torrents. Flowers bloom in the great. est profusion. I remarked great varieties of geraniums and roses, growing apparently wild under the wide-spreading trees which se- parate the hay and corn fields Everything is perfect. every inch of ground is adorned and made useful. The troughs which the cattle drink out of are carved and ornamented, as well as the gates to the fields and farm-yards. The village church and school are beautiful; then the children seem so well educated—smiles and bows greet one on all sides, from rosy faces. The girls' hair well combed and arranged, and their dresses and white aprons scrupulously clean; and even the boys' coats, those usually most dilapidated parts of the human attire, appear well brushed and mended. I have not seen a rag, a broken window, or a miserahle face in the whole place COST or A PICTURE.—It is said that Marshal Soult, on being asked one day how much his best picture had cost, replied, " One monk." The meaning of this was, that the picture was given in exchange for an unfortunate monk, who had been taken prisoner during Soult's campaign in Spain, and condemned to death. The volumes are liberally illustrated with clever litho graphs, from sketches by the highly-gifted authoress. AWFUL CALAMITY.-FIVE LIVES LOST BY THE FALL OF PART OF A FURNACE AT DOWLAIS. (From the Merthyr Guardian.) On Tuesdey afternoon an alarm was spread in Dow lais and Merthyr that a dreadful accident had happened at the Dowlais Iron Works, by which a number of men had lost their lives. Numbers hurried to the spot, and found that there was too much reason for the report, as a portion of one of the furnaces in what are called the old works, at Dowlais, had given way and buried eight men under the ruins, and had endangered the lives of six more, who escaped with some slight injuries, but not without much alarm. A gang of twelve volunteers was immediately formed, who commenced the work of dig ging out the bodies without a moment's delay, and here we cannot help expressing our admiration and respect for the gallant fellows who volunteered in this service of danger to rescue their fellow workmen from death, as it is quite impossible to view the spot without acknow ledging that they were exposed to the most imminent peril even by approaching the place, but much more so when a moment's reflection might satisfy them that every stone they loosened and removed from over the bodies of their comrades might bring down sudden destruction on their own heads. In order that the nature of the acci dent may be understood it is necessary to state that the furnace is composed .of four square walls outside and a circular wall in the inside, and that the space between the inner and outer walls is filled up with loose stones and, earth, which have become so closely compacted as to form one solid mass. In consequence of decay in a por- tion of the inner or circular wall the outer wall and the intervening stones, &c., were pierced, that the necessary repairs might be effected, and a space cleared for the men to carry on the work. Aware, however, of the insecure nature of this intervening mass, a scaffolding was raised over the workmen to protect them in case of any of the stones giving way. This having been done the men commenced their labour s and went on with their work till three o'clock on Tuesday, when an alarm was given that the loose stones were giving way, but only one man was able to leave the hole where they were at work when the whole mass, to the weight, it is estimated, of 100 tons, came down on the scaffolding, smashing it to pieces and burying eight men in a state that scarcely left a hope for the escape of one of them. There were six men at work on an external scaffold that ran along the front of the furnace, one of whom was knocked down by a blow from a stone, but he sustained but little injury from his fall. Mr. John Evans had a narrow escape for his life, being under the arch at the time. Hearing the crash he ran to the corner of the furnace bottom. Every one on the spot thought the whole front wall was coming down. As soon as the persons present could collect their scat tered thoughts the work of removing the ruins began, but in consequence of the space at which the men could work being so small, only one could be engaged at a time inside, and it was not until six that the first man, David Jones, who was dug from the ruins, was taken out. He was buried up to his neck, but was protected as he lay by the fallen timber, so that his life was preserved, but he was dreadfully crushed. He has a wife and children, and is about 37 years of age. In another hour William Price, aged 29, was dug out. He had been buried to the middle, but his injuries are not great. He has a wife and two children. At eight o'clock a third man named John Jones, aged 33, and having a wife and family, was ex tricated, but in a shockingly bruised state. These three have been able to speak all the time and thus their de liverers are cheered with the assurance that their labours were not in vain in trying to safe life ; but after eight o'clock all was silent, and every man felt the conviction that the victims when rescued would only be taken from one grave to be laid in another, and so it happened, for after seven hours more additional labour through the dreadful and anxious night, at three o'clock in the morn ing one of the sufferers was reached and found to be quite dead ; at six two more were dug out, and about eight two more, all dead, and mangled in the most fright ful manlier. We have examined the hole (a duty scarcely free from danger) in' which these unfortunate men were at work, and were surprised how they could find room to move much more to work in so confined a space. The conduct of a little boy, aged 10, sou of David Thomas, one of those who was killed, was very affecting. He remained by the ruins all night, and would not believe for a long time that his father was among the slain. ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE PROMOTIONS. Rev. G. Pickard, M.

Two or three other persons, who were on the engine and tender at the time, were also more or less injured, but they are all in a fair way of recovery. About ten minutes before 2 o'clock on Wednesday morn ing the greatest •alarm was created in the vicinity of Clerk enwell by the outbreak of a fire, the most destructive that has taken place in that portion of the metropolis for several years, in Myddelton-street, near the end leading into St. John-street-road. It commenced on the premises belonging to Mr. Turner, floorcloth and table-cover manufacturer, which occupied an area of considerable dimensions at the back of the houses on the north side of the street above mentioned, and also those on the south of Lloyd's-row, op posite the well-known Islington Spa Wells. The premises were extensive, consisting of three brick buildings—the factory, between 50 and 60 feet long, 40 in depth, and three stories high ; the japan and store-rooms (a building two stories high and upwards of 60 feet in length) ; and anothe building of the same dimensions, used for dry ing floorcloth after being manufactured. With respect to the er gin of the fire, no idea can at present be formed. It appear; that at six o'clock yesterday morning the work men came t 3 their work as usual, and at eight o'clock they went to brea'cfast, and on their return to the manufactory, at half-past eight o'clock, to all appearance it seemed safe. Scarcely, however, had they commenced their labours before a cry was raised that the japan -rooms were on fire ; and such turned out to be too true, for the entire place was found to be enveloped in flames. Immediately that the alarm was raised in the neighbour hood, a scene of the greatest confusion and terror ensued amongst the inhabitants. The burning premises being com pletely surrounded with dwelling-houses, the excitement of the inmates, fearing that the flames would , extend to them, was beyond all measure ; goods and furniture of all descrip tions were thrown out of windows into the street and carried td•places of safety, and many of the inhabitants removed to where the fire never could have reached. The police from the stations in Clerkenwell soon came up in strong bodies, and shortly after the engine belonging to the parish arrived. There was an abundance of water to be had from the plugs, but from some cause or other it was not got into operation. This circumstance, as may be imagined, increased the excite ment, for by that time the flames were appearing over the tops of the houses in huge volumes, and, although the sun was shining with all its brilliancy, the fire showed a great light, and could be observed from all parts of Clerkenwell. There was an immense quantity of paint, japan, varnish, and other ingredients of a highly inflammable description in the various buildings, which added to the fury of the flames and quickened the destruction of the numerous buildings which was complete, as before stated, in an hour. By half past 10 o'clock the tire was considerably got under, and there was no fear of further sacrifice of property taking place. Five men in Mr. Turners's employ had a most mi raculous escape from a horrible death. They, it appears, were at work in the paint-loft of the factory, which was on the uppermost story, when the fire broke out, and were not apprised of it until they saw the flames beating against the factory windows from the roof of the ja pan rooms beneath. They one and all rushed to the staircase, but on reaching the landing found it impos sible to descend, for the stairs were all alight, and the fire was rushing up with great violence; they returned, and slid down the pillars which supported the roof through the centre of the building, where the floor-cloth is hung for drying, but on arriving at the basement their escape by the front of the factory was found also to be an impossi bility, as the devouring element was furiously raging on both sides of the yard, and perish they thought they must. Luckily one of them spied a blocked up door at the back of the factory, which led to the backs of the houses in Myd delton-street. By this time the smoke had almost suffo cated them, but by a strong effort they burst the door open, and they escaped in five minutes after the factory was in flames. The loss is between £3,000 and £3,500. There are w many as 14 houses damaged by the fire in Myddelton-stree and Lloyd's-row. The greater portion of the consume( property is insured in the Sun and Union Fire Offices. MINIATURE CARRIAGE FOR THE PRINCESS ROYAL.— A most elegant little carriage has just been completed, for the use of the Princess Royal, to enable the infant Princess to take occasional airings with her Majesty through the walks in the gardens of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. It is a tasteful little affair, the body resting within a few inches of the ground, and admirably adapted to the purposes for which it will be required. A pair of beautiful Shetland ponies, in perfect keeping as to s►ze with the carriage, have recently been purchased, and the whole " tur❑ out" will be an attractive novelty. The ponies are so excedingly tracta ble and docile, that, it may be said, " even a child might drive them." It is expected that this Lilliputian affair will be used for the first time upon the arrival of the court at Windsor at Easter. EXTENSIVE FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE OF THE FAMILY. —Between one and two o'clock on Monday morning a most alarming fire broke out in the Elephant and Castle public house, kept by Mr. Leidard, High-street, Whitechapei. The family, it appears, had closed the house at the usual hour on Sunday night, when, to all appearance, everything was per fectly safe, and in the course of half an hour afterwards the whole of the inmates were in bed. At the above-named hour, as police constable Beed, No. 50 of the H division, who was on duty, was passing the house, he observed a very great light in the place, which, not noticing before, excited his sus picions that the house was on fire, and upon a minute exa mination, he found his fears were realised. He directly sprang his rattle, when police constables Nos. 14 and 98 came to his aid. With a judgment which reflects great credit on them they prevented the door and shutters from being forced open by the neighbours, and thus saved the lives of the in mates. Some minutes elapsed before they were aroused, and when they appeared at the windows it was ascertained by the police that the stairs were on fire, and the only mode of es cape was from the windows. Unfortunately no ladders could be obtained in the neighbourhood, and as the fire was assum ing a terrific aspect, the policemen saw that the only means which was left to them to assist the inmates in their escape, was to adopt the following plan. One stood close to the front of the house, and the next one got upon his shoulde rs , and thus reached the lead beneath the first floor window, having fixed themselves firmly they then called to Mr. and Mrs. Leidard, the maid servant, and pot-boy, who were at the second floor window, to get out and lower themselves down. The two females were accordingly assisted out by Mr. Leidard and the boy, and were caught by the police and lowered down in safety, the men following the example. The police maintained their perilous position, although the smoke which issued from the apertures in the shutters nearly suffo cated them, until they were certain that all had escaped. Their heroic conduct was loudly cheered by the spectators. A CHILD SOLD FOR A SOVEREIGN !—SODIe months back a curious story appeared in a London paper, and was copied into some of the Manchester papers, stating that a gentle man, in coming on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, had bantered a good-looking woman in one of the carriages about selling her infant, and had taken the child into his arms, and given her a sovereign for it, intending to return his charge at the station, but where he found, to his surprise, that the mother had taken him at his word, and left him to make the best of his bargain. It was also stated that, hav ing a wife and a family at home, he was afraid to acquaint them with his odd bargain, and had taken the child to the police-office, leaving a sum of money for its maintenance, till the mother should be found. Latterly, the child has been placed in the workhouse, where a nurse was provided for it, all inquiries after the mother proving fruitless. A short time ago, a soldier's wife, named Jane Castleman, who had been with the 79th Highlanders at Ashton-in-the-Wil lows, and had left that place with them, returned there to take up her residence ; and on her acquaintances inquiring about the child she had taken away with her, she gave an account which did not gain credence, and ultimately she was taken into custody by Sergeant Oakes, of the county consta bulary, on suspicion of having murdered the child. She then confessed that she had parted with it to a gentleman on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and had never heard of it since.—On Friday week she was brought before Mr. Maude, at the New Bailey, when the overseers of Manches ter preferred a charge of desertion against her. The guard of the railway train, however, who had witnessed the sale of the child, stated that Castleman had done everything she could to get back her child all the way to Manchester, but that the man refused to give it up, taking it into the omni bus when he got off the train, where she was afraid to follow him, because she had no money beyond the sovereign, which she expected he would reclaim. The prisoner herself stated that the gentleman had said, during the journ e y, th at h e should put up at a certain public-house, and that she after wards went there, but could not find him—On hearing this, Mr. Maude discharged the prisoner, regretting that it was joke too n t oh his o far, po a w n e d r compel bring hi the m t e ma re n i m u h p, w er se h t o h e h a p d a carried rish h in theis expense of keeping the child.— It appeared that the woman's husband is a soldier in the 69th Infantry, which had gone to Australia, whither sbe was not allowed to follow him. The child was ordered to be given up to her.—Manchester Con. rier. POREIGN INTELLIGENCE, CHINA, INDIA, AND EGYPT, (From the Morning Herald.) The delay of the imperial commissioner, Keshen, in bring ing to a conclusion the negotiations entered into with Cap tain Superintendent Elliott, induced the latter to give directions to the naval and military commanders-in-chief to make preparations for forcing terms, and accordingly on the 9th January dispositions were made for attacking the forts in the Bocca Tigris: A force of about 1,300 men, under the command of Major Pratt, of the 26th regiment, was therefore landed in a bay below Cheuenpee fort, while her Majesty's ships Calliope, Larne, and Hyacinth took up a position op posite the lower battery of the fort and opened a fire upon it, the steamers Queen and Nemesis throwing shells with great effect into the upper fort, so that the garrison were quickly compelled to evacuate it. The land forces, after some re sistance, ascended the hill, and taking possession of this fort, poured a very destructive fire of musketry into the garrison of the lower battery, and, within two hours from their land ing, the British flag waved over the fort. The loss of the British force is stated to have been 3 killed and 26 wounded; that of the Chlrese is variously rated at from 500 to 700. Simultaneously with this attack, her Majesty's ships Druid, Samarang, Modeste, and COlumbine took up their position opposite the fort of Ty-cock-tow, which guards the southern entrance of the Bocca Tigris, and opened a heavy fire, which was, for a short time, briskly returned; but it being soon silenced, a party of sailors landed, and, after a determined resistance on the part of the Chinese, this fort was also cap tured. The first lieutenant of the Samarang was wounded in the assault. After the capture of the forts, the steamers were sent to destroy the war junks in Anson's Bay; but the shallowness of the water admitted only of the approach of the Nemesis, towing some ten or twelve boats. The junks endeavoured to escape, but a rocket from the Nemesis blew up the powder magazine of one of them, and 18 more which were set on fire by the English boat crews also successively blew up. Preparations were then made for attacking the principal fort of Anunghoy on the following day, when a flag of truce was despatched to the superintendent, and hostilities ceascd. The result of these affairs was-the circular from Capt. Elliot, dated Jan. 20, together with the singular document of the imperial commissioner Keshen. The intelligence from India, as far as regards the affairs of the Punjaub, is interesting ; Shere Singh having succeeded in driving out the widow of Khurrock Singh, and taking possession of Lahore. Application has been made by No- Nehal to the British government to restore her to the throne, and it is rumoured that assistance will be given, troops hay in2: been collected on the Punjaub frontier. From Scinde we learn that matters are proceeding satis factorily, and that the hill tribes were all entering into trea ties with the British. Nusseer Khan, it is now said, has de livered himself up to Col. Stacy, of the Bengal army. The force under General Brooks was at the last advices encamped near Baugh. In Affglianistan a disturbance took place at Ghirisk, nett!. Candahar, where a body of 1,200 or 1,500 rebels were de feated by a field detachment under Capt. Farrington, who took their standard and guns, In the southern Mahratta country the fort of Nepaul had been captured by a force from Belgaun under Major Vivian. The news froM Persia is very slight. In Nepaul and Burmali all was tranquil. It is officially rumoured that the 2d regiment of Bengal na tive cavalry had been disbanded for bad conduct in the field. We have much pleasure in having to report that Mr. Stan ton was released from imprisonment in Canton, on the 10th, and left for the Bogue on the 17th, where, on the Saturday morning, he was delivered over to Capt. Elliot, on board her majesty's ship Melville, and arrived in Macao that same even ing in the schboner Young Queen, after having been just 4 mouths in Canton.

He informs Mehemet Ali that a nameless person, who proclaimed him self to be the Imaum (or priest) of the Mehdi promised by Mahomet, has appeared in Yemen, and had drawn a crowd of disciples after him, which when he first appeared amounted to about 1,500. He announced no new doctrine, but preached the Koran in its purity, and enforced its precepts with strict ness wherever he went ; and distributed justice according to the holy law with great impartiality. He declared himself but the pecursor of the Mehdi, who was already come on earth, and was now at Mecca; whence he would set forth and appear before all true believers in the fulness of time. Meantiwe, this Imaum was " working miracles" in his name. He affords his disciples a view of the holy cities by bidding them look up each of his sleeves, in full faith that they will see here Mecca and there Medina. He had fed an immense multitude with a single loaf of bread, &c. His fol lowers now amount to 35,000. He coined silver money of the value of half half a piaster (40 to the dollar), bearing the inscription, " Imaum[ el Berrein vel Bahrein ? Imaum el Muntazar Mohammed ?Mehdi ; which they translate, " Imaum of the two lands (continents) and the two seas (Black and Red), the Imaum who awaits Mohammdd Mehdi." The Scheriff has sent one of these pieces to the Pasha, struck in the ordinary rude style of coinage prevails in his own mint.—Letterfrom Alezandria.
