The deceased had been long in a sinking state, and had been sub jected to water on the head, as well as other ills of a very distressingisal character. The allusions sometimes made by iors their legs when invoking a coolness in the lower _extremities was frightfully realized in the cause of the late pier, whose timbers were completely shivered between 7 and S the o' c l ock on Thursday morning. The pier of Greenwich bad secondtitle of Barren of Dividen decal and though never known swamped t d o in e in hot water, was on se occasions nearly p d e ed the cold element. The pier, which had been spervocee. issue, against as a nuisance, has left no issue, but the when i n which it pleaded to a declaration served upon it has carried off several of the timbers, and invested t_i ! a . only property of the deceased, in a bank of all sorts of deposits.—Punch. Htenoo READY WIT.—A Hindoo woman having been summoned to give evidence before the court of judicature in Calcutta, deposed that such a circumstance happened in her Fores h ence. The judge asked where it happened : she replie:4 saidt t h e verandah of such a house. " Pray my good wonaan the ?,, judge, " how many pillars are there in that veran dah. The woman, not perceiving the trap that was laid for her, said, w ithout much consideration, that the verandah was supported by four pillars. The counsel for tibe opposite party immediately offered to prove that the verandah con tained five pillars, and that consequently, no credit could be given to her evidence. The woman, perceiving her error, for many the judge, and said, " My lord, your lordship has many years presided in this court, and every day that you come here, ascend a flight of stairs : may I beg to know how many steps these stairs consist of ?" The judge con fessed that he dld not know.—" Then," replied she , " if you lordship cannot tell the number of steps you ascend daily to the seat of justice, it cannot be astonishing that I should forget the number of pillars in a balcony, which I never eatered half-a-dozen times in andlife. The judge was much pleased with the woman's wit decided in favour of her party.—Protestant Operative'. THE DEVIL AND Da. FAVSTIISe tradition of the Devil and Dr. Faustus is said to have been derived from the odd circumstances under which the Bibles of the first printer, l'ust, appeared to the world ; but if Dr. Faustus, and Fust the printer, are two different persons, the tradition becomes suspicious, though in some respects it has a foundation in truth. When Fust had discovered this new art, and printed off a considerable number of copies of the Bible, to imitate those which were commonly sold as NISS., he undertook the sale of them at Paris. It was his interest to conceal this dis covery, and to pass off his printed copies for MSS. But, enabled to sell his Bible at sixty crowns, while the other scribes demanded five hundred, this raised universel astonish ment, and still more when he roduced copies as fast as they were wanted, and even lowered p his price. The uniformity of the copies increased the wonder.

THE BATTLE or Ms.e.sits.—The following is an extract of a letter from Lieutenant Phayre, of the 25th Native In fantry, who was engaged and wounded in the battle near Hyderabad. in Scinde, under Napier :And t was after boe_ battle had been raging about two hours,when the f the enemy was hottest, that I had been directing the men o fi the left wing to keep close together, when I observed Genet:ae Napier opposite our colours, with his cap off, cheering° tn regiment, which together with the whole line had rece ived ea a I ne ' , ecla owing to the superior nunabers o_ rely pushed my horse through the irite'ttoehtrbeee ., as an example to the men to follow. On getting of or four yards in advance I was between two fires--tbat my own men and that of the enemy, who were posted in a deep dry watercourse, from the bank of which I was oblythre yard distant. I, however, kept my laorse lust motio n,band thus escaped for a short time the shots that m have b een aimed at me. At length I observed our Major (Teesd ale) a few yards to my right ; just as I caught sight of him n e . amP peered as as if shot by a bullet. I irornediately turn d . . yr . horse to go to his assistance, when I was struck bad,a rnaslsinn n which entered high in the left breast ah.P _.gri my lungs, came out at my back between t He shaoatuldtheger eide and spine.

You may must have been, as we we drawn up about five yards fro were imagine what hot i enemy, who where not only ten times our number, bu under cover. As to our beloved general, I cannot express to you the devotion and respect w 5 all feel for him. His kind ness to me in mentioning my name in his despatches to the Governor-General and Commander -in-Chief was far m ore than I expected. People here can scarcely believe that I have been wounded at all, as I am now driving out in nay gligeLeiry evening, and when 1 think of it myself 1 ellon°t help wh•cnh ering at so rapid a recovery from ao severe a wount , h i is equalled only by my thankfulness for the escape I have had. Perhaps you will not understand how I came to be on . horseback, unless I tell you that I sin one of the mountd ccers of the regiment, as quatermaster and interpreter. momentary c I im-mediat lock ba tb^' THE BATTLE OF HYDEILABAD.--"We ( server) have been favoured with the following extract a Gateshead 00fb memorable letter from an artillery officer, engaged in the w hich battle of Hyderabad, on the 17th of February last, will be read with much interest. It is dated Hyderabad, March 19. " Daylight saw the whole force in compact order of march. * * * After marching about eider miles, we heard firing in our front, vrhich we rightly judged ' to be an attack on our advanced guard. Here we halt!icliafdor. a short time to close up the columns, and then 11. vanced. Hearing the fire increase in the fron, cil.argodle for ward, and found Sir Charles Napier making his lapoilttiolno for attack. The line was formed with the artillery (in a h guns) on the right. I was laced immediately on the rig t of H.M. 22d Foot. Thee apry was on th At that time all that I could make oat was, that a number of yardsguns were playing on us, at what I Judged to be about iOO nte distance. In our front was a low jungle, which preve, our seeing twenty yards. Our fire was, consequently,vaue. When we bad advanced about 200 yards further, we could make out a little better what we we re d about. We fired a few rounds with round shot and spherical case, and pushe d on rapidly ; for the enemy's fire began to tell. We moved forward till we could distinctly see our opponents, and then all ten guns opened upon them, with grape shot. This dently produced an effect, for some of their guns were si lenced. We continued our fire till the infantry were so much advanced as to preclude our doing so with safety to them. Sir Charles then put himself at the head of the line ; and the musketry, which had only been beard at intervals before. now burst out in a long roll down the entire line. We (the artillery) pressed on as hard as we could ; but the ground was broken and enclosed, so that it became neceasary to charge the hedges and water-cuts, as the only means of getting in front. And now the fight commenced in earnest. The enemy were lining a l o w,nullah, or natural entrench ment, in very great strength ; and, as we approached its edge, they first fi xed their matchlocks, and then quitted their covering and rushed on us sword in hand. It was a critical moment, I assure you. The shock was so great that, for an instant, the line seemed to stagger. It was, however, only for an instant. The steady roll of the musketry soon con tinued, and the bayonets were not idle. At this time I suc ceeded in getting a gun (a twelve-pounder) into position on It was done u nder a murderous firs: five men th e right. ad two horses were shot dead beside me. Other guns soon 'owed, and the tight was at its height. The uninterrupted artillery, the rattle of the nius ketr y , the , formed a shouts of reoiments as they c l os ed with their opponents ti l e ov to be forgotten. But all this was too het to twenty-one thousand men gave We still continued to ,iorse, and partly at a jungle ~ch they seemed endeavouring to form on our right. e it was soon over, and our whole force moved bodily -nab, in undisputed possession of the field. One ird of our officers had been killed and wounded, while e dreadful piles of dead all around showed too plainly w severe had been the contest. The battle lasted from '''.n to (I believe) half -past one o'clock. The ene :uns, a number of standards, e, all fell into our hands.

CH INISS SAIRT.--This is sometimes composed of nu merous thin pieces of bamboo. about an inch in length, and strung together so as to form a kind of net, with large inter stices or meshes. This singular shirt is worn next the skin, for the double purpose of coolness, and also to keep the other garments from coming in contact with the perspiration of the body. It has sleeves of the same omission of the coll A suspected attempt to get at Cotherstone has been the theme in the sporting circles for the last 48 hours, and will probably keep them on the qui rive for some days to come. The facts are as follow :—About half-past ten o'clock on Fri-- day night the policeman on guard at Scott's premises, Leatherhead, discovered a man on the dung heap near the stables; to get there he must have climbed pailings seven or eight feet high, and as this circumstance alone was calculated to excite strong suspicion he was immediately secured. On being searched a box of lucifers, a rough kind of knife, (magnified by report into a jeanny), and a bottle containing vinegar, or something very ciusely resembling it, were found ;. the fellow accounted for them by stating that he had been helped over the palling by a person in a white coat, who had given him the bottle and lucifers to hole;. There was so. • much of the " cock and bull" about this story that he was conveyed to the watchhouse for the night, on Saturday morning taken before a magistrate for examination. His tale there varied ; he had purchased the vinegar and lucifers at Mickleham, and intended the former for a salad. On being q uestioned as to his occupation, he stated that he had once been in a gentleman's stable;, but was now a tramper, a statement corroborated in some measure by his appearance. He is between 50 and 60 years of age. To give time for in quiries, he was remanded for two or three days, and the bot tle sealed and delivered to Mr. Bowes, for the purpose of analyzation. It has been ascertained that the prisoner had been seen about 7 o'clock the same evening, but nothing could be elicited to show how be was occupied from that h o ur up to the time of his detection. It has also come out, that a person in a drab coat was seen lurking about at nine o'clock ; the presumption therefore is, that the individual now in custody was assisted over the palings for the purpose of ascertaining whether the coast was clear, and that, had not Scott been on his guard, Cotherstone would have been made safe before the night was over. The circumstance is so far fortunate that it proves- Scott to be awake to the old proverb, that " prevention is . b e tter than cure." It is satisfactory to know that on Sa turday morning Cotherstone galloped and sweated, and is now perfectly well. On the same morning the British Yeoman sweated, .in company with Drops of Brandy. and went so much to the satisfaction of his party, that 1800 to 200 was taken on the course, 5 to 1 freely at Tattersall's the same afternoon, 2500 to 500 in the evening, and 9 to 2 yesterday afternoon. General Pollock also sweated and was afterwards backed at 18 to 1. Aristides only galloped, was fractious, but had friends in the evening at 12 to 1 •, he galloped again yesterday morning with Robinson on his back, but pulled up lame, and is now almost out of the betting. The following notice was posted yesterday afternoon at Tattersall's : " Aristides is lame, but will start if possible. Signed—Eg lintoun." The other alterations in this race will appear below.

COTHERSTONE.—This celebrated horse, the winner of the Riddlesworth, Column, and 2,000 Guineas Stakes, at New market, this year, and first favourite for the Derby, is named after Mr. Bowes's extensive manor of Cotherstone. The pleasant village of Cotherstone stands at the confluence of the Balder and the river Tees, about four miles above Barnard Castle, and it is famous for a petrifying drop-well, close by the margin of the former stream, and for its " cheeses," which are well known throughout the kingdom. Cotherstone is described as a good bright bay, rather over fifteen hands two inches high. with black legs and one white heel behind ; head rather plai❑ and large, good deep shoulders well thrown back ; very deep in the girth, round body, splendid quarters, well let down, and looking from behind him, very wide hips showing great power; carries his tail a little way from his quarters ; good strong arms, thighs, and hocks, short from the hock to the ground ; very sound clean legs and feet ; has a fine temper, good hardy constitution, altogether presents the appearance of a powerful racing -like nag. Should he be well on the day, he will take a vast deal of beating for the Derby—it will not he the hill that will stop him. Cother stone was got by Touchstone (who, with his brother, Launce lot, won the St. Leger in the years 1834 and 1840,) out of Emma (the dam of Mnndig. winner of the Derby in 1835 ;) grandam, Gibside Fairy (the grandam of Euclid, Theon, Ex tempore, &c.,) by Hermes ; great grandam Vicissitude, by Pipator, &C.

COTTON MARKET.—Tnium o'CLocK The enquiry for Cotton to-day is to a fair extent, and the sales will reach 2500 bales, all to the trade, at full market prices, with a steady but quiet market. HANOVER-SQUARE Rooms, LONDON. — The concert of vocal and instrumental music for the Choral Fund, on Fri day last, was attended by an. unusually numerous assemblage. The programme of the entertainments embraced the names of the most celebrated musical performers. Herr Staudigl was much and deservedly applauded in his several efforts, and had also, in some of them, the honour of being very un equivocally encored. Miss Clara Novello's recitative and aria from Rossini, " Di tanti palpiti," was a finished display of vocal science ; and a simple ballad, given by Miss Rain forth, " Sweet, happy home," exercised a spell-like influ ence on her auditory, at whose request the fair warbler was constrained to undergo the fatigue of its repetition. We have not space, at present, to expatiate on many portions of the performances, which were, nevertheless, worthy of our notice ; but we cannot, in justice, withhold our commenda tion of the very great powers displayed by Mr. Cohan, in his tastefully arranged fantasia on the piano -forte. This gen tleman evinced a marvellous facility of execution—great boldness and brilliancy of touch, yet, at will, a grace and delicacy of fingering, which obtained for him the hands (if not the hearts) of the majority of his hearers.

The stock of wine, the produce of the Cape of Good Hope, was 30,960 gallons at the same date. The receipts for three months gave 10,400 gallons, the consumption 10,300 gallons, and the quantity remaining in the crown stores on the sth of April was 31,060 gallons. Of French wines there remained bonded here on the sth of April 22,500 gallons ; the quantity consumed during the three previous months was 2,650 gals. There had been received during that time 5,700 gallons ; and on the sth of January in this year, 20,220 gallons remained under the Queen's lock. The operations in port wine, by reason of the unsettled state of the commercial relations of these countries with Portugal during the last nine months, was in a state of paralyzation ; therefore the returns do not present what may be considered the usual features of the trade in that article, as far as regards consumption and im portation. The quantity received during the three months ending the sth of April, 1843, was 6,520 gallons; 8,600 gal lons went into the cellars of the dealers, while 260,400 gal lons remained in the Custom stores on that day. On the preceding sth of January the stock was 264,786 gallons. At the opening of the present year the stock of Spanish or sherry wines in the custody of the Crown amounted to 219,000 gallons; for three months the importations give 40,700 gallons ; the quantity on,which duty had been paid during the same time was 36,000 gallons; and on the sth of last April there remained in store 215,000 gallons.--Free man's Journal. THE BIRDS AND BROUGHAM-HALL AGAlN. — During the last two months a number of paragraphs have gone the round of the newspapers relative to Mr. Thomas Bird, of Ashton on-the-Lyne, schoolmaster, having claimed to be entitled to Brougham-hall and estates, as the heir-at-law t o th e Bi r ds ; who were the owners before it came into possessio n o f L or d Brougham's father, and distraining upon one of the tenants. The distress, however, was not carried into execution ; and shortly after Lord Brougham brought an action of trespass against Mr. Bird and his assistants. The copies of the writs were accordingly served upon the parties, when Mr. Bird put in an appearance. It appears that Lord Brougham has not thought fit to file his declaration, and it is supposed that his lordship has relinquished the action. The Birds have since been in London, where they profess to have taken counsel's opinion, according to which it appears they allege that their claim is a legal one. And in order to substantiate that claim, Bird arrived at the village of Clifton, in the county of West morland, about a mile distant from Brougham-hall, in a car riage and four horses, on Tuesday morning last, accompanied by five sons and a nephew, and about six o'clock in the morning actually took possession of Brougham-hall. Since then, we understand, they have taken an inventory of the furniture, library, plate, and other goods and chatt t ls. The servants at Brougham-hall immediately sent off an express for Mr. Bleaymire, of Penrith, his lordship's solicitor. Mr. Bleaymire was from home at the time, but in the course of the day he returned, and proceeded thither with all haste on horseback, where he found the birds snugly roosting in the " bird's nest." Mr. Bleaymire, on his arrival, demanded of the old Bird what right he had to take possession, and three times successively ordered him and his brood to he off. The old Bird ruffled his feathers, and in reply t o ld M r . Bl eaym i re that Ins would not quit his nest neither for him or Lord Brougham himself, on which Mr. Bleaymire left, mounted his horse, and returned to Penrith, and has, we understand, communicated with Lord Brougham on the unpleasant sub ject. And so the matter will rest until Lord Brougham's sentiments arc known, and instructions given how his solici tor is to act. It was expected that William Brougham, Esq., his lordship's brother, will arrive at Brougham .hall on Friday. This transaction has caused a great sensation in the neighbourhood of Penrith.—Morning Herald. A BRIDE DISAPPOINTED.—" Many a slip," &c. This adage was never more fully verified than in a case which oc curred at our parish church, or rather in the churchyard thereunto belonging, on Monday last. Shortly before twelve o'clock, a youthful couple—the lady somewhat on the shady side of forty, of diminutive stature, and dressed in all the dimity and gingham finery of bridal costume, and a gentle man, the groom elect, of rather seedy exterior—were seen joyously wending their way up the umbrageous archway to wards the church portal. Their object being suspected— what couple can walk towards a church during the hallowed matrimonial hours without suspicion ?—the usual number of stragglers followed in the wake, to witness the . ceremony. The happy pair were unencumbered by e ith e r bridearnen ur maidens—no anxious attendants waited on them from their carriages, no groups of friends or kinsfolk, in favours and white satin, had been invited to the wedding breakfast. The happy couple, apparently satisfied with their own bliss, had no thought of its being shared in by the obtrusive gaze of strangers. Well, in this order, and attended only by the crowd of unbidden guests before spoken of, they reached the portal of St. Mary's, that mystic portal, through which so many maidens have passed only to return wives, and within which so many maidens' names have been eschewed for ever ; but, as we said before, the old adage was in this case too ' sadly verified, and "a slip between the cup and lip" did oc our, which sent the elated and expectant bride again to her solitary home in single blessedness. On reaching the door a halt was suddenly made by the bridegroom, an earnest con sultation took place between the parties, and at length the lady, " all blushes and smiles," dragged forth from the deep recesses of her pock e t one o f the current co i r s of her Majesty Victoria, with which the eager swain made off in double quick time towards the Iligh-street. The gratuitous visiters doubt less thought that the ring had been forgotten, and the swain despatched to purchase one, and they accordingly hung about the avenues for his return, to w i tness t h e upshot of the mat ter. The disconsolate fair one maintained her stand at the church door, often sending furtive and anxious glances to so w n witching ntgh the o rn u i r ss o i f n to wards the gate. In the meanwhile the minutes rapidly passed; time, that waits for no man, and who on this occa siony : o b o r n i bridegroom r t o h o e m church; the urinates d o o rsb put on his swiftest foot, " kept pace with her exnectanc creased to moments, the bell of St. Mary' clock boomed andfi)rt forth the ; were ruthlessly closed, and the blushing bride elect, a " N -- tears," found herself wandering about like all Ghost in Ham let—alone, un , blest, unwed 'What was done? What now to be h What was a delicate and tender arid blushing the victim of disappointment to do ? No fi friends around d t thus ar . oun to sympathise in her sorrow, exposed to the jeers of a churchyard rabble. The moment the vestry_d oor elsionarid was closed she darted to another, but that too was srred against her ; she flew from door to door, made the circuit of the sacred edifice, b ut all to no purpose. The mob, ever ready to insult misfortune, now turned their jeers into open insult; the fair victim was regu l ar l y mo bb e d , and only saved from personal injury by the interference of some of the more decent of the bystanders, ass i s t e d b y th e p o li ce . Th e ancient ballad has , it " there i s no faith i n man, e ' n your own brother and, gentl e rea d ers, th i s sweep i ng denunciation against the sterner sex was in this case but too well merited. The simple cause of the disappearance of the bridegroom was this : feeling, on arriving at the church, his resolution, like Bob Acres courage, oozing out of his fingers' ends, the faith less man begged of his chere arnie the loan of ls. to procure " a drop of sunnnut short," to " screw his courage to the sticking point." The too easy bride, alas ! consented, and the sequel has been told. Esiu sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, Judas betrayed his master for 30 pieces of silve:, and the martial bliss, hopes, and prospects of our little heroine, on the shady side of forty, were sold by her " faith less swain" tor a paltry shilling's worth of beer.

MB WAR IN CHINA.—A parliamentary return of the sums paid on account of the war in China, so far as they can be made out, and of the sums received or due from China under the late Treaty of Peace or otherwise, has just been published, from which it appears that the total expenditure, including £1,096,416 by e stimate for 1812-3, is X 1.215,413, and the actual receipts £2,537.504, whereof £1,237.504 is Cantor, Ransom ; and £1,300,000 the first instalment paid under the treaty with China. The amount due from China is stated thus:—ln June, 1843, 3,000,000 dole.; January, 1814, 3,000,000 dole. ; June, 1815, 2,500,000 dole. ; June, 1845, 2,000,000 doll. ; January, 1816, 2,000,000 dots; total 15,000,000 dots. ; equal, at 4s. 4d. each, to X 3,250,000. This added to the amount received, makes the aggregate X 5.787.504, leaving a balance over the expenditure of X 1,572,091. There are, however, in addition, the following claims to be pro vided for :-Ist Opium claims, 6,000,000 dole. 2nd. Bong merchants' days, estimated at 3,000,000 doh,. 3rd. Such sums as may be due to the East India Company for expenses connected with the war, not yet brought to account, and for which no estimate can now be formed. WILL OF THE LATE MR. RICHARD ARKWRIGHT.—The will of this wealthy commoner was on Friday proved in Doc , tore-commons, by the oaths of Robert Arkwright, Peter Arkwright and Charles Arkwright, three of the sons and executors named in the will, which is dated Dec. 16, 18-11. This document effectually contradicts the mis-statements which have been going the round of the papers. One para graph asserted that the deceased had given £1,000,000 to Vice-Chancellor Sir R. Wigram. This so far from being the case, that that gentleman has not received a legacy of any kind. Mr. Arkwright gives to his son Robert, £100,000; to his son Peter, £40,000 ; to his son John, £50,000 ; to his son Joseph, £80,000; to his grandson, Francis Hurt, £35,000 ; to six of his grand-daughters, £14,000 each ; and to all of his other grand-children, £5,000 each ; to his daugh ter Ann, wife of Vice-Chancellor Wigram, £25,000 abso lutely, and a life interest in £50,000, with power of disposal at her death : to the Derbyshire General Infirmary, £2OO ; to the General Hospital near Nottingham, £200; to the Luna tic Hospital and Asylum near Manchester, £200; to his butler, £lOO ; and to his housekeeper, £lOO. The residue of his property is given to his five sons, who are named executors. The property has been sworn to exceed in value, £1,000,000; but of course this is only a nominal sum, as the scale of stamp duties goes no higher. The probate bears a stamp of £15,750, and the legacy duty will amount to a much larger sum. We have heard the whole of his property esti mated as high as X 6,000,000, but we believe this estimate is much exaggerated.—Sunday paper.

Notwithstanding a change of wind to the westward in the course of yesterday, we have still much rain at intervals, and this, with the cold easterly winds prevalent for a month previously, will possibly bring the period of harvest to a somewhat later date than was at one time contemplated ; which consideration, coupled with the diminution of stocks, very partially replaced by limited supplies for some time past, fully confirms the renewed steadiness of feeling obser vable of late upon our market and those of the country gen erally. The fresh arrivals of the last three days are to a trivial amount altogether, and, though not active, there has appeared a more general disposition to purchase, and at very full prices for most articles of the trade. No change takes takes place this week in the various du ties on Foreign Corn. Although ;we had but a slender attendance of millers and dealers at this day's market, the wheat trade tkroughout continued to exhibit an increasing degree of stability ; and upon a moderate demand, E ng li s h an d I r i s h Wheat, being scarce, realised the full rates of Tuesday, whilst Foreign, es pecially the better qualities of Odessa, were the turn dearer. Flour being in fair request, home-made and Irish obtained a slight amendment in value, and superior brands of States and Canadian commanded an advance of 6d. per barrel. MISCELLANEOUS.

CITY OF DURHAM ELECTION.—The Whig-Radicals of the City of Durham have determined, it seems, on petition ing against the return of Lord Dungannon on the ground of bribery.

Out of 1,222,137 children receiving daily instruction throughout the kingdom, 48,470 only are found in the schools of dissenters.

Among the various establishments kept up by the king of the French for the improvement of the useful arts and sci ences is a collection of silk-worms, at Neuilly, where, at this time, his majesty has a great quantity of their eggs in a state of incubation.

"At a sale of autographs, the property of a valet-de-chambre of Napoleon, on Monday evening, an autograph of Napoleon affixed to an order given in Cairo, sold for 5 francs, 10 sous (about 4s. 4,1. sterling), while one of Madame Laffarge brought 9 francs !" THE IRON TRADE.—We hear that several large iron works in Staffordshire have stopped working, and a greart number of hands are, consequently, thrown out of employ ment. The inhabitants of Dudley. Tipton, and the whole country in that direction, are under serious apprehensions for the result. An application was made is the Vice-Chancellor's Court on Thursday, on behalf of Mr. Alaric Alexander Watts, for an injunction to restrain Mr. Andrew Spottiswoode and Mr. Charles Hyde from interfering with the management of the United Service Gazette. The application was ordered to stand over, and will probably come on next week. At the meeting of the Free Presbyterian Church Assembly, last Monday, Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, M.P., said he was commissioned by the most noble the Marchioness of Breadal bane to state, that she had ordered the sum of £l,OOO to he placed at the disposal of the assembly for the benefit of the free presbyterian church. As a circumstance of interest at the present moment, it may be mentioned, that the accounts from the continent upon the subject of the weather and the growing crops read very satisfactory, and that, as far as present appearances go, the probability is in favour of a good harvest. It is worthy of remark, however, that in Belgium provisions continue very dear, agricultural produce being, in fact, higher than for years past, while in England the reverse is the case. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT !!! — On Friday afternoon, during the parade of the 8-Ith Regiment, P.M., i❑ Third-street, near Green, the officers were assaulted and insulted in the most shameful manner. Flour was thrown over them, and other acts committed too scandalous fora decent community. On Saturday George Griffiths, one of the party, was arrested at the instance of Colonel Lazelle, and bound over by Alder man Boileau in 300 dollars to answer at court.—American paper. DIE LATE MR. ARKWRIGHT.—On Wednesday the pro bate of the will of Mr. Richard Arkwright, late of Willesby, In the county of Derby. deceased, passed through the hands of the seal keeper of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. The personal property of the deceased is sworn to exceed £1,000,000; the stamp duty on the probate was £15,000, being the highest duty, when the personal estate of the tes tator is £1,000,000 and upwards. The executors are the tive sons of the deceased, who are also residuary legatees to a very large amount. THREE SUICIDES BY THE Wives OF vie HUSBAND.— On Thursday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Seymour Arms, Seymour-place, Bryansten•square, London, on the body of Mary Salmon, aged 44. Evidence was gben to prove that she had separated from her husband, and had since lived a dissipated life, and that she had committed sui cide by taking laudanum. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." One of the jury stated that the deceased was the fourth wife of her husband, and that two of them exclusive of her, had also committed suicide. TFIE TARIFF : FIRST IMPORTATION OF PORK,&C. FROM Naw ORLEANS.—On Tuesday morning the barque Pearl, of 400 tons register, Captain Brickley, belonging to New Bruns wick, arrived in the London Docks, from New Orleans, with a perfectly full cargo of provisions, &c. ; namely, 1,042 bar rels and 227 tierces of pork, 127 barrels and 3 boxes of bacon, 2 barrels of hams, 3,421 kegs and 1 tierce of lards, 124 bar rels of tallow, 11 half-barrels of tongues, 230 casks of oil cake, and 50 barrels of flour. The Pearl is the first vessel having a full cargo of this description of articles from New Orleans since the passing of the tariff. GOOD NEWS FOR HAMPERED WIDOWS.—Sir J. K. Bruce gave judgment in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, last week, on a point respecting wills. A testator, in 1834, made a will, by which he gave a share of his estate to his daughter and her issue ; but by a codicil added in 1836, he provided that this property should pass over to other persona if his daughter should ever marry. The daughter did marry, and the " other persons" stepped forward to claim the money. The judge said, that all such restraints upon marriage were void by the English law ; and the declaration of the court was, that the lady should keep the money. THE PETITION MANUFACTURE. — The Manchester Guar dian of Saturday last informs us, that the petition from that town against the education clauses of Sir James Graham's Factory Bill, as amended to meet the dissetating demands, " received in the course of only three days and a half NINETY ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FITE SIGNA TURES ! Taking the entire population of that town at 300,000, it would thus appear that nearly one-third of that population, including women, children, and infants in their cradle (!) have signed the petition in question ! The dccument, we are further informed, weighs fifty-five pounds, doubtless owing to the deposits of grease and dirt from the unwashed fingers of the various urchins, whose eacorthes scribendi its getting up has gratified. Verily, we shall begin to think soon that petitioning is indeed " a farce, when a fraud so palpable as this oan be deliberately practised upon the legislature, North and South Walea.. 10 - Royal of I,iverpool - South Lancashire - Albion - Liverpool Union lO - Liverpool lianki Co lO - Wilts and Dorset 7 10g, GAS, WATER WORKS, &c.

Beef 5d to Sid; Mutton Sid to 6d. Number of Cattle : Beasts ion, Sheep 5133. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 26 Sugar.—The demand has continued good throughout the week, and 400 hhds. B. P. have been sold at rather higher prices. 9,500 bags Bengal brought 51s for }Chant*, and 67s to 67s 6d for good white, and 1,000 hags Mauritius 61s tid to d4O per cwt. for low to good yellow. No transactions in foreign. Molasses.—The only sale this week is a parcel of 300 puns. Barhadoes , to arrive, at n 9 per cwt. Coffee.—The market continues very inanimate, and prices are with difficulty supported ; the sales comprise 45 casks of Jamaica, 12 casks, 90 bags St. Lucia, 90 bags Costa Rica, price not reported, and 1:5 bags Padang at 20s per cwt. 400 bags Bengal and Malabar Ginger sold at 12s to I3s per cwt. Nothing done in Cocoa, Pepper or Pimento. 50 boxes of Cassia sold at the quo. tations. Rice.—A small lot of Carolina sold at 155, nd 5,000 bags engal, at 8s 3d to Os 3d for low, and 1 i s 6d to per cwt. for tine white. Rum.—The sales are 85 puns. Demerar, 30 to 38 0. P., at 2s I id to 3s 2d, 60 puns. Jamaica, 25 per cent. 0. P., of middling quality, at 2s 7d per gallon, and lOU casks East India, at the quo tations. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 29 The home market for Butter is so abundant, that it has tended to keep the price of Irish moderate. Of the latter the supply was not large last week, and for Carlow, Kilkenny and fine Waterfords, the demand is fair at 76s to The Provision trade is very dull, and both Beef and Pork are the turn cheaper. There is some old re-cut American Pork in the market, at a very low price. MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 27. With the exception of Wheat to Wakefield, the arrival of which is pretty liberal, the supply of the week to this and the principal markets of this district is moderate and although the languid state of the London trade tends to restrict the operations of buyers, a steady business has been done, at prices fully as good as those of our last. Shipments of Wheat, to a greater or less extent, are making weekly to different parts of Ireland, and it seems probable that our supply of Flour from that country, between this time and harvest, will be small. At both Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, a fair amount of business was done in most articles, at full prices. The report of yesterday's London market being somewhat un favourable, our market to-day is firm, but the sales made are con fined to the supply of present wants. Wheat is unaltered in value. Flour moves off regularly on arrival, at full prices. For Oats we have only a retail sale, but prices are fully supported. Oatmeal is held firmly, and a❑ advance of lid per load is obtainable on good fresh qualities, which meet a fair sale. Malt in steady request, at rather improving rates. Beans quite as dear, with a moderate enquiry. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 26 The demand for Cotton to-day is:, only very moderate ; the sales will not be over 2500 to 3000 bales. The sales of the week are 23,810 bales, of which quantity 4700 have been bought by speculators, and 1230 for exporta tion. The market is without any material change in prices since last week. COTTON MARKET, MAT 29. On Saturday there was an improved demand for Cotton, with a somewhat better feeling in the market, and 4000 bales were sold. To-day the same tone has been prevalent, and in the common de scriptions of American, rather higher prices have been obtained ; the sales are estimated at 4000 hales. The accounts by the Boston and Halifax steamer, with late dates, confirm beyond all doubt the estimate of 2,300,000 bales for this year's crop, but also states that the weather had beeu so exceedingly unfavourable for the next crop, that barely an average one could be expected. The market was well attended and Cotten was bought up freely. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. The market this week has been languid, the trade having pur chased sparingly, and speculators, as well as exporters, are corn paritively inactive. Under these circumstances, accompanied also by a eonsiderable import, the prices of American are barely sup ported, but the decline scarcely amounts to a quotation. Other descriptions remain heavy at previous rates. speculators have taken 4,70 American, and exporters 1,000 American, so Pernambuco and 200 Surat.
