This bold assertor of pontifical powers and privileges i the year 1300 published a bull, by which he proclaimed ?at " all who should at that time, or thenceforth, make a pilgrimage to Rome, which should take place every hundred years, should there receive a plenary indulgence." Upon this, says Terse D'Aubigne, " multitudes flocked from all parts of Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, France, Spain, Ger many, Hungary, and other quarters. Old men of sixty and seventy set out on their pilgrimage ; and it is computed that two hundred thousand persons visited Rome in one month. All these foreigners brought with them rich offerings, and the popes and the Romans saw their coffers replenished. The avarice of the pontiffs soon fixed this jubilee at intervals of fifty years ; afterwards at thirty-three years ; and lastly Then, for the greater convenience of pur- chasers, and to increa se th e profit of the vendors, they trans -,•ed both the jubilee and its indulgences from Rome to the t-places of all the nations of Christendom. It was no longer necessary to abandon one's home ; what others had indirect been obliged to seek beyond the Alps, each might now ob ful master, and tain at his own door." But Burnett and D'Aubigne are Protestants. Let us appeal to some Romish testimonies with respect to indul- The Douay Catechism is very cautious in its definition of an indulgence. It describes it as " a releasing of temporal punishment due to such sins as are already forgiven us by the sacrament of penance." Another catechism, the title of which is "A. Catechism for the use of all the' Chhrches in the French empire, to which are prefixed the Pope's bull and the Archbishop's mandamus," is rather more copious in its exposition of the doctrine of indulgences. We extract from it a few queries and replies. `` Qu. What does faith teach us concerning indulgences ? —Ans. That the church has received from J;sus Christ the power of granting them, and that the use of them is very sa lutary to Christians. _ " 4u. Of what ;ise are indulgences?—Ans. They are of much use to us in every way ; since we have always reason to believe that we are very far from having satisfied according to our obligations. " Qu. What follows from hence ?—That we should be our own enemies, if we had not recourse to the graces and indul gences of the church. " Qu. On what are indulgences founded ? '—Ans. On the satisfaction of Jesus Christ and the saints. "Why do you add the satisfaction of the saints to that of Jesus Christ?—Ans. Because of the goodness of God, who is willing on behalf of his most pious servants, to forgive others. " Qu. Who has a right to give indulgences?—Ans. The pope in the whole church, and the bishops in their dioceses, with the limitations appointed by the church." Still more largely, if not more satisfactorily, is the doctrine of indulgences expounded in other Romish documents. In a " treatise on indulgences, printed in English, Anno 1617, and said to be translated out of Italian, for the benefit of all catholic people," an indulgence is thus defined. "An in dulgence, as it is ordinarily taken in the catholic church, is a remission or forgiveness of sins, either in part or in whole ; yet not of the mortal crime or guilt itself, (which is remitted otherwise, in the sacrament of penance,) but of the pain, (not eternal, but temporal,) due unto man for his sins, after they be forgiven by sacramental confession, which forgive ness does spring and flow from the infinite merit and super abundant satisfaction of Christ, and of the blessed virgin his mother, and of other holy saints and martyrs, which is depo sited as a common treasure ; and thereof the church, i.e., the pope, bath the disposal, and so may at his pleasure be stow so much out of the same to any person as shall discharge, in full or in part, (as he thinks fit,) the punishment due to his offences, and which he must have suffered in purgatory." But what say the " masters in Israel"—the greater au thorities of the Roman Church ? The celebrated Cardinal Bellarmine thus defines an indul gence—" An indulgence is properly a judicial absolution, having annexed thereunto a payment and satisfaction made out of the treasure of the church." St. Thomas Aquinas, who is regarded as one of the pil lars of the Roman Church—sometimes extolled as the "sera- p zw, sometimes eulogised as the "angelic" doctor—says, "There actually exists an immense treasure of merit, com posed of the pious deeds and virtuous actions which the saints have performed beyond what is necessary for their own salvation, and which are, therefore, applicable to the benefit of others. The guardian and dispenser of this precious trea sure is the Roman pontiff, and, of consequence, he is em powered to assign to such as he thinks proper, a portion of this inexhaustible source of merit, suitable to their respective guilt, and sufficient to deliver them from the punishment due to their sins." Leo the Xth—a memorable name in the history ofindul- gences—thus explains the doctrine—" The Roman Church, whom other churches are bound to obey as their mother, hath taught that the Roman pontiff, the successor of Peter in regard of the keys, and the vicar of Jesus Christ upon earth, possessing the power of the keys, by which power all hindrances are removed out of the way of the faithful—that is to say, the guilt of actual sins by the sacrament of penance —and the temporal punishment due for those sins, according to the divine justice ; that the Roman pontiff may, for rea sonable causes, by his apostolic authority, grant indulgences, out of the superabundant merits of Christ and the saints, to the faithful, who are united to Christ by charity, as well for the living as the dead ; and that, in thus dispensing the of the merits of Jesus Christ and the saints, he reasure either confers the indulgence by the method of absolution, or transfers it by the method of suffrage—wherefore all per sons, whether living or dead, who really obtain any indul gences of this kind, are delivered from so much temporal pu nishment, due according to divine justice for their actual sins, as is equivalent to the value of the indulgence bestowed and received." Let us next hear the Council of Trent—" Since the power of granting indulgences has been bestowed by Christ upon his church, and this power, divinely given, has been used from the earliest antiquity, the holy council teaches and en joins that the use of indulgences, so salutary to Christian people, and approved by the authority of venerable councils, shall be retained by the church, and it anethamatizes those who assert that they are useless, or deny that the church has the power of granting them." Listen to another pope on the subject. Pope Urban the VIIIth, in a bull, in which he promised indulgence to the Irish, as a reward of the meritorious work of exterminating heretics, (i.e. Protestants,) states that, " having taken into his serious consideration the great zeal of the Irish towards the propagation of the catholic faith ; which kingdom, (for their singular fervency in the true worship of God,) was of old called the land of saints ; and having certain notice that in imitation of their godly and worthy ancestors, they en deavoured by force of arms to deliver their thralled nation from the oppressions of the heretics, and to extirpate those workers of iniquity, who had infected the mass of catholic purity with the pestiferous leaven of their heretical conta gion, by virtue of his power of binding and loosing, which God hath conferred upon him, to all and every the aforesaid Christians in the kingdom of Ireland, so long as they should militate against the said heretics and other enemies of the catholic faith, he did grant a full and plenary indulgence, and full remission of all their sins, desiring all of them to be partakers of this precious treasure. Dated from the Vati can, or St. Peter's-palace, in Rome, May 25, 1643, in the 20th year of his pontificate." Under this plenary indulgence the Papists of Ireland murdered many thousands of their Protestant neighbours. To come nearer to our own days. In the present century Pope Pius the Vllth favoured the people of Cork with a plenary indulgence " applicable" (as his letter especially states) "to the souls in purgatory." A bull was issued by Leo the Xllth, in the year 1825--a year of jubilee—styled, therefore, by the pope in the bull in question, " the year of expiation and pardon, of redemption and grace, of redemp tion and indulgence." " During which year of jubilee," says his holiness, " we mercifully give and grant in the Lord a plenary indulgence, remission, and pardon of all their sins, to all the faithful of Christ of both sexes, truly penitent and confessing their sins, arbd receiving the holy communion, who shall devoutly visit the churches of blessed Peter and Paul, as also of St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major of this city," (Rome,) " for thirty successive days." • Pope Leo, in the same bull, calls on all patriarchs, primates, arch bishops, and bishops, to rouse their people to the meritorious undertaking; adding, "To you it belongs to explain with perspicuity the power of indulgences ; what is their efficacy, not only in the remission of the canonical penance, but also of the temporalpunishment due to the divine justicefor past sin; and what succour is afforded out of the heavenly trea. sure from the merits of Christ and his saints, to such as have departed real penitents in God's love, yet before they had duly satisfied by fruits worthy of penance, for sin of com mission and omission, and are now purifying in the fire of purgatory, that an entrance may be opened unto them into the eternal country, where nothing defiled is admitted." Such is the doctrine of indulgences—a doctrine of which Pope Pius the IVth in his creed (which has ever been re garded as an accurate and explicit summary of the Roman Catholic faith, and to which some of my beloved brethren and myself are now taking the liberty of appending a few notes and comments,) makes the affirmation which we are now considering. He affirms that the power of indulgences was left by Christ in the church. We ask, when did Christ do this ? When and where has he intimated that he has done it? Where are we to look for the record of the gift? Of what Christ has done for the church—of what Christ has bestowed on the church — we know we can know nothing but from the Scriptures ; and with regard to this power of indulgences, affirmed by Pius to have been placed by Christ in the church, the Scriptures preserve a profound silence. The doctrine of indulgences is indissolubly linked to that of works of supererogation. It must stand or fall with it. One single declaration of Christ demolishes that doctrine— " So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, we are unprofitable servants : we have done that which was our duty to you."—Luke, xvii-10. " That which was our duty to do !"—that—and no more. Where, then, are works of supererogation ? , Gone! _ . _ . . " And, like the baseless fabric of a vision, Leave not a wreck behind." Let it also be remembered that the holy law of God re quires perfect obedience. How, then, can we overpass by one single step the line of its requirements? How, with higher than the falcon's flight, are we to soar above perfec tion ? Yet this we must do to accompligh works of superero gation. What, then, if we have fallen far short of the law's requirements? What if the " Scriptures have concluded all under sin ?"—if they testify that " in many things we offend all ?"—that " all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God ?" Where are the works of supererogation ? (Loud cheers.) The inspired Psalmist declares that " none can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him." The work of Christ is a finished work. "It is finished !" was his dying exclamation. As the surety of the church, he " paid the uttermost farthing" of our debt to di vine justice. What is the testimony of his word ? " There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus." (Rom. viii. 1.) "Ye are complete in him." (Col. ii. TO.) "By one offering he bath perfected fur ever them that are sanctified." (lieb. x. 14.) Thus the Scriptures, from which alone we can know the mind and will of God, directly negative the confident assertion of Pius on this head. comfort to the Pius affirms, secondly,—That " the use of indulgences is most wholesome to all Christian people." Now, if whole ''_9.a:; it must be wholesome in one, or both 6f two ways ; mil as ministering the medicine of a solid and well grounded vigour, and a mi nisters y t to a e leading bun soul of a convinced sinner, or as the means of no man shall "follow after" the " holiness, without which bee the Lord,"—with greater alacrity, ardour, iicno. But what is the comfort which it mi salutar alarmed and awakened conscience? Not the the spurious medicine, a genuine and scriptural comfort, but peace.

I was surprised to find scarcely a church in certain which did not hold up at the door the tempting inscription e of ' Indulgenzia Plenaria. Two hundred days of indul gence I thought a great reward for every kiss bestowed upon the great black cross in the Colosseum : but that is nothing ; to the indulgence for ten, twenty, or even thirty thousand years, that may be bought at no exorbitant rate in many of the churches ; so that it is amazing what a vast quantity of treasure may be amassed in the other world, with very little industry in this, by those who are avaricious of this spiritual wealth, into which, indeed, the dross or riches of this world may be converted with the happiest facility imaginable. You may buy as many masses as will free your soul from purga tory for 29,000 years, at the church of St. John Lateran on the festa of that saint ; at Santa Bibiana, on All Souls-day, for 7,000 years; at a church near the Basilica of St. Paul, and at another on the Quirinal Hill, for 10,000 and for 3,000 years, and at a very reasonable rate. But it is in vain to particularize; for the greater part of the principal churches in Rome and the neighbourhood are spiritual shops for the sale of the said commodity." To the testimony of this au thor it may be added, that in the year 1800 a Spanish ship from Europe was captured near the coast of South America by Admiral Harvey, the captain of the Southampton frigate. On inquiring into the nature of her cargo, he found that there were large bales of paper on board, valued in her books at £7,500. These bales were, therefore, brought up for ex amination ; and to the British officers' surprise, they proved to be large sheets of paper, some printed in Spanish, some in Latin, but all sealed with the seals of ecclesiastical courts either in Spain or at Rome. They were, in fact, indulgences, or papal pardons for various sins; and the price was marked upon each, varying from half a dollar to seven dollars. They bad been bought in Spain, and were intended for sale in South America. Such facts speak for themselves, and leave us at no loss to arrive at a conclusion with regard to the practical tendency of the system, and to estimate at its real value the affirmation of Pius IV. on the wholesomeness of the use of indulgences. In one particular, indeed, we are willing to concede that " the use of indulgences" has been salutary : for to this, under God, we are indebted for our glorious Protestant re formation. It was a common saying of the monks that Eramus "laid the egg, which Luther hatched :" but,in fact, the first was done by Leo X. ; the second was effected by Tetzel the Dominican, the unprincipled instrument of an unprincipled pontiff.—Mr. Parry then gave a. rapid sketch of the origin and rise of the Reformation ; of various circum stances in the providence of God, which preceded it, such as the revival of letters, and the discovery of the art of printing; of the character of Leo ; and noticed the manner in which too many of our modern historians, captivated by his pa tronage of letters, arts, and sciences, have spoken of the Reformation, " whose scepticism," he remarked, " or in difference to real religion have led them to think little of that great event in comparison with the man, whose Mecmnas qualities far eclipsed, in their eyes, the piety, magnanimity, and love of truth, by which a Luther was distinguished." He adverted to the early history of the Saxon Reformer ; his Christian indignation at the open sale of Leo's indul gences by the profligate Tetzel; his bold, uncompromising opposition to them; and concluded in these words It has been shewn, I trust, that the first affirmation of Pius IV. is directly contradicted by scriptural testimony : that his second affirmation is equally destitute of truth : that the doctrine, so far from being wholesomo, is most perni cious and poisonous to the souls of men. The peace it im parts is a false peace. The practice, to which it has a natu ral tendency to lead, is a licentious practice. It teaches men to build upon the sand, instead of teaching them to build simply upon the rock. On the rock, the glorious rock, the rock of ages, may we build our every hope of present peace, and of bliss beyond the grave ! May the dying exclamation of the martyr Lambert find, in life and in death, an echo in our hearts,—" None but Christ ! none but Christ !" (Loud cheers.) The Doxology was then sung, and the meeting separated. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE JEWS. The annual meeting of this society was held on Friday morning at Exeter Hall, London. Upwards of 3000 persons were present. Sir Thomas Baring presided, supported on the right by the Bishop of Hipon, and on the left by Chevalier Bunsen and Lord Ashley. The proceedings having been opened with prayer, The Chairman said that for some time past the hall in which they then were had resounded with eloquent appeals in behalf of the Gentile church, and in the advocacy of those societies who had for their object the propagation of the Gospel, and the promulgation of the glad tidings of salvation of a crucified Redeemer to all parts of the world. He was sure he might, on the part of every true friend of Israel, say that they wished those societies God speed, that the heathen might be given to our Redeemer for his possession, and that the earth might be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. But they had met that day to plead the cause of Israel, and he would venture to say that their society yielded in irci ortance to no other religious society in existence. (Hear, hear.) Indeed he would be bold to say, that it was superior to all other religious societies. (Hear.) The Rev. Dr. Marsh having questioned the children of the scholl on the fundamental truths of Christianity, delivered a brief but touching address to them. The Chairman called upon the Rev. V Ayerst to read the report. The report adverted to the acceptance by the Archbishop of Canterbury of the office of sole patron of the society, and to the fact that the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Lon don, and nearly all the episcopal bench have become vice patrons. It also mentioned the munificent donation of £15,000 from the King of Prussia towards the erection of a Protestant bishoprio in Jerusalem, and that the committee had made a grant of £3OOO towards the same object. The report stated that the aggregate amount of contributions re ceived during the past year towards the general and special purposes of the society was £24,699 Ss. 9d., being an increase of £1760 9s. 7d. above the receipts of the preceding year. This amount had been contributed in the following pro portions :—General proportions of the society, including the Jerusalem Mission and Scripture Funds, £22,841 13s. Sd. ; Hebrew church at Jerusalem, £1313 10s. 2d. ; hospital at Jerusalem, £lB9 Ss. Scl. ; Jewish Converts' Relief Fund, Jerusalem, £5l ls. ; Operative Institution, Jerusalem, £5l ; School of Industry, Jerusalem, £55; Temporal Fund, £197 15s. 3d. The committee stated that after defraying the expenses of the year, they had in hand, for general purposes to carry on the work of the society, the sum of £BOOO, vested in exchequer bills, and £l7BB 19s. 2d. in the hands of the treasurer. On account of the Hebrew church at Jerusalem they had £1543 Os. 10d. in the treasurer's hands • and on ac count of the different funds for temporal relief already enumerated, they had £5OO in exchequer bills, and £364 1 ls. iu the hands of the treasurer, making a total balance of £B5OO in exchequer bills, and £3696 lls. in the hands of the I treasurer. The resolutions were then moved and seconded by the Bishop of Ripon, Lord Ashley, and the Rev. G. Bickersteth, Dr. M`Caul, and Dr. Marsh ; after which Chevalier Bunsen rose and delivered the following speech : , I came this morning to this house rather to be present at, than to speak before, this great assembly—not to speak, but to assist the meeting with silent gratitude and cheerfulness. (Cheers.) But, since that time, mention has been made in the kindest and most affectionate way of the King my Sovereign, who has sent me to this Christian country, and a resolution has been proposed, seconded, and adopted with so warm a manifestation of the good-will and Christian affec tion and regard for that monarch, that I feel I should he wanting in my duty if I did not overcome my reluctance, my just reluctance, to explain myself before you in language not my own—(cheers)—if I did not attempt, I say, in a few words —not to make a speech before you, as those who have pre ceded me have so eloquently done, but to thank you, not for myself and on my behalf, but in the name of the King who has sent me. (Cheers.) You (turning towards the chair man) were present when the committee of this society pre sented an address to the King of Prussia on the subject to which those who have preceded me have directed your atten tion. I wish I were permitted—not to repeat the words in which the King of Prussia expressed to you his answer to your address—l wish, 1 say, that I were able to give utter ance in any thing like an adequate degree to the sentiments which he has very often expressed to me, and which I have frequently heard him express to others on the same score. But one thing I will say, that the King—as he at that time stated in few words—feels and knows that he has much to thank you for, because there is no individual, there is no society existing which has been—to use the King's words— so pre-eminently instrumental as yours in carrying into effect a plan, not of the King's, but a great Christian plan, founded on no selfish, no political, no exclusive basis, and to be car ried out by the instrumentality of the Church of England. (Cheers.) I say, it will be a glory to your society to have contributed, as it has done, to this great work ; to have been more instrumental in effecting it than any individual or cor poration in the world. (Cheers.) It is true that the first thanks of the King of Prussia are due to those just and en lightened prelates who received the proposals which I had the honour to lay before them, who received them in a truly Christian and Protestant spirit, and, in their consideration and adoption of them, brought to bear upon the subject that wisdom and that experience which could alone ensure success in the prosecution of the plan. (Cheers.) But if I have to thank, in the King's name, those prelates, have I not to thank those at the head of the society who have exerted them selves most strenuously in this great work? (Cheers.) Allow me to make mention, as this is the first opportunity I have had of publicly stating it, that the members of your committee enabled me to do what I have done when I was allowed to lay the plan of the King of Prussia before your Sovereign ; and here I may say that I was assisted by the excellent pre late now at Mount Zion—(cheers,)—and by my noble friend (Lord Ashley), who has so eloquently addressed you, and by the rev. gentleman who has just sat down. I, therefore, speak only very imperfectly the King's sentiments when 1 say I thank you individually and collectively for the affectionate way in which you have this day spoken of the King, my mas ter. (Cheers.) But 1 think we are not met here together to thank each other. lam sure I may say that the promi nent feeling of our hearts is this—that we ought to unite in humble thanksgiving to Him who has brought us and will keep us together. (Cheers.) Without retracing the steps so forcibly laid before you by my noble friend, by which we have arrived at our present position, I may, perhaps, he per mitted to observe, that when I look back upon what has so recently been happily effected, I cannot but recollect that this day twelve months I received these words from the mouth of the King of Prussia—" Go to England, and in my name offer the hand of brotherhood and of brotherly co-operation to the Church of England over the tomb of our Saviour." (Loud cheers.) Who is there among us that, twelve months ago, but thought that he would be offering up his earnest prayer rather than his deep thanks for what has been so pro videntially accomplished for the cause of true Christianity. (Cheers.) Of all the circumstances to which I feel myself in my heart obliged to look back with thankfulness, I will men tion only two, and those two because they are not known to you, nor to myself till a few days ago. I hold in my hand a letter, dated Mount Zion, Easter Monday, and addressed to me by the Bishop of Jerusalem. (The chevalier then read copious extracts from the letter, in which the bishop spoke in the most encouraging terms of his mission. Chevalier Bunsen then proceeded.) Now it appears to me, that we have here such accounts as not only justify our expectations and our hopes, but certainly must make us thankful beyond expression for the excess of mercy that has been shown to us. (Cheers.) Allow me to make mention of another circum stance regarding my native country, and which has just reached me. The King of Prussia. for whom you have ma nifested so much affection and regard, permitted that on the Sundays between Easter and Whit Sundays a collection might be made in the Protestant churches of that kingdom in behalf of the schools and hospitals belonging to the bishopric of Jerusalem on Mount Zion. (Cheers.) This appeal of the King to his Prussian subjects has been responded to in a way which I am sure will as much gratify you as it does the King. (Cheers.) When my last communication left Berlin, the whole amount of the collection was not known to the govern ment, but so much was known, that from the—(we did not catch the word)—to the Rhine, this collection had met with the greatest sympathy, both from the rich and the poor, though the sum gathered had been more (as we understood) indebted to the widows and the orphans' mite than to the contributions of the rich and the mighty, and the whole pro duced about z £10,000—(loud cheers)—which will be placed at the disposal of the Bishop of Jerusalem, in assisting him to erect the schools and hospital for the benefit of Germans and atE Englishmen, b h emg nn i a n n g d for your h t b ht eo a ennl p ys l a ot n op r a e d .which, add—we as e—miwnee I s n should y ai i n cl_ strumental in forwarding . i n n o t w forget w t e h a a t t ethe assembled m oment i h n e r w e l i c ish we o l a i w v e f u , and tal ten p h o e rt m a n o o m e t (Hear.)

EMPLOYMENTS FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN (Front the Morning Herald.) We have just received two hug; blue books, being Parts I. and 11. of the Appendix" to the parliamentary " Com mission on Children's Employment." Each " part" con sists of nearly 900 folio pages. Part I. is illustrated by some lithographic sketches of men, of women, of children, em ployed in what we may term " brute labour" and " brute transport." Here are! women harnessed to coal carts, and dragging them through seams of coal from 22 to 28 inches, only, in height,—working their burdens some backward — others forward—over the dismal perforations, rather than roads, with a dip of 1 foot in 3, to 1 foot in 6. This infa mous, this disgusting, this unsexing employment is exacted, at this day, of wretched, bht miserably poor and untiringly industrious women (!) in some of the mines of Scotland, and the north of England, under circumstances to which at pre sent we cannot trust ourselves further to allude. We shall speedily recur to the subject, however, more at large. In mines in Lancashire, boys are employed some in pushing, others in draggingloaded coal trucks through those miserable seams or galleries,—the pushers becoming bald, from the friction of their heads against the trucks, the draggers maimed from hauling it on their hands and knees ;—and both these employments are habitual ! In mines at Rochdale and in the Vicinity of Preston and Macclesfield, miners work at the coal in positions and under restraints and confinement, as to space for their exertions, which shock belief, but are terribly exemplied in the rude but effective lithographs at pp. 158, &c., of Part I. One of the men shown, (and of all re presented in the cuts it is said (p. 159) that " they generally work " naked,"—) is as destitute of all habiliments as a na tive of the Washington Islands. He was found working "in a mine not more than from 18 to 20 inches in thickness. His chest was brought down so as almost to rest upon the thigh, and the head bent down almost to the knee !" How strange that £20,000,000 of money should have been heaped upon the fetters of negro slaves in the y% , est Indies in order to break them ; and that not one indignant tongue should yet Lave been heard within the walls of Parliament to denounce a legalised or at least permitted system of physical degrada tion to men, of moral ruin and bodily torture to women, of barbarous captivity and toil to children, for which the bondage of Egyptian taskmasters, the tyranny of European " overseers," and the humiliations of Moorish slavery have supplied no parallel, and can suggest no type ! DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning last, a shocking catastrophe befel a man named Benjamin Taylor, a slubber, in the employ of Messrs. Armitage and Body, of Milnes-bridge, near Huddersfield. It appears that in conse -quence of there being something defective about the water wheel, he went upon it for the purpose of rectifying what was amiss, when, from some unknown cause, the water suddenly rushed out and set the wheel in instant motion, and horrible to relate, literally cut the poor fellow asunder.—Leeds In telligencer. MURDER OF A POLICEMAN IN LONDON.—For the last three weeks, a series of highway robberies have been perpe trated on persons passing through the fields in and near the Hornsey-wood House, by a foot-pad said to have been heavily armed, and a description of whose person was a few days since forwarded to the station house of the N division, Isling ton Green : since which period, Mr. Superintendent Johnston has caused additional men to be placed near the spot com plained of. Shortly before 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, police constable Charles Moss was on duty near Hornsey wood House, when he observed a gentleman going along the path which leads from it towards town„ and a man following him, wko also answered the description of the party suspec ted. He pursued him, and, on approaching within a few yards, the villain turned round and fired a pistol, and the ball lodged in Moss's right arm. Moss called loudly for help, and police constable Mallet, N 341, who was standing on a hill about a quarter of a mile from the spot, and a jour neyman baker, named Charles Mott, and who also was near joined in the pursuit. The man Mott had got within a few yards of the fugative, when the latter drew another pistol from his breast and again fired, wounding his pursuer in the shoulder. Mr. Howard, a baker, of Elornsley, who saw the occurrence, gave chase to the assassin, whom he kept in sight along the main road in the direction of Highbury Barn, on arriving near which he jumped over a ditch into some fields in the direction of Highbury College. Mr. Howard followed, and whilst doing so observed him reloading his pistol. He got into a lane at the end of which there was no thorough fare, and in which he was met by police constable Timothy Daley, who was about to seize him, when he drew from his breast the pistol he had re-loaded, and fired at Daley, who instantly fell lifeless, the ball having penetrated his heart. By this time Mr. Howard and the other pursuers came up, and the murderer was seized. He exclaimed, " I'm done now ; I give myself up ;" and he was then asked to deliver up his pistols, which he did. On being asked if he had anything else about him, he said "No;' but, on being searched, a knife or dagger, sharpened at the point on both sides, was found concealed down his fob pocket. The pistols are old cavalry pistols, with flint locks, and odd ones ; the stock of one of them was much stained with blood, and the knife also had stains of blood upon it. The murderer is apparently about twenty-four years of age, of spare habit of body ; his features are oval, his eyes and hair dark. He calls himself Thomas Cooper, and says he is a bricklayer. Upwards of twenty persons saw the murder committed. On Friday the prisoner was brought up before the magistrates at Clerken well. The court was excessively crowded. The prisoner appeared to be in a state of weakness and suffering, and he was accommodated with a chair. He spoke, when addressed by the magistrate, in a low, feeble tone. The individuals who witnessed the circumstances above related gave their testimony. The prisoner sat leaning on the front of the dock, with his face resting on his hands. He declined ask ing any questions of the witnesses. As' the examination pro ceeded, his countenance was observed to assume a ghastly hue, he appeared to be growing weaker and weaker, and, at length, fell insensible into the arms of the gaoler, when he was removed from the court. A communication was shortly afterwards made to the court that the prisoner had stated that he had taken poison. Mr. Dwery, the surgeon, who bad been giving evidence in the case, immediately hastened to his assistance. This gentleman shortly afterwards con firmed the opinion that the prisoner had taken poison. In spector Penny announced that the prisoner was getting worse every instant, and that he was at that moment throw ing up large quantities of blood. Waddington, the gaoler, said the prisoner had told him he had pnrchased, on the pre ceding evening, two pennyworth of white arsenic and six pennyworth of laudanum. The crowd in the court was, during this time, in a state of great excitement. In a short time the unfortunate man ceased vomiting. He took a little brandy and water, and some emetics, an d appeared to be re covering, though be rem a i n ed i n a s t a te of great debility. On Saturday the prisoner was again placed at the bar, before Mr. Greenwood, the sitting magistrate, when the depositions of the witnesses examined on Friday were formally taken down by Mr. Mould, the clerk. The prisoner looked rather better than on Friday, his colour having partially returned •, and it was stated that he had passed a very good night, and slept soundly for several hours. During the proceedings, however, he became faint, and was unable to attend to the examination of the witnesses. The magistrate, finding him in this state, ordered the further examination to be post poned. Mr. H. Hayes Walton, one of the surgeons of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, told the reporter that the prisoner had not taken poison of any kind : his present enfeebled state was the result of mental and bodily exhaustion, pro duced by his not having taken any food since the day of the murder, and his obstinately refusing to take any, and his great anxiety of mind. The strong emetic that had been given him, when it was conjectured he had taken poison, was the cause that prevented stimulating liquids remaining on his stomach, and of the relaxed state, accompanied with pain, of the bowels.

We have had another very flat day in Cotton ; the sales do not exceed 3000 bales, notwithstanding the market is but barely supplied, and current prices are obtained. The weekly sales amount to 18,530 bales. Speculators have taken of these 1200, and exporters 1000 bales. We make no alteration in our quotations ; the change is in favour of buyers. The import this week amounts to 85,000 bales, and is ex pected to be very heavy throughout the month, so that there will be a considerable augmentation of stock, which, now ex ceeds that of last year at this period 150,000 bales. COTTON MARKET, MAY g. In our last circular we noticed the heavy arrivals of Cotton from the 'States, which still continues, making about 150,000 bales within the fortnight. As usual, the anticipation of such an in crease to the stock, had a very depressing effect upon the market, but now that its extent is known and felt, the tone and feeling of the market is decidedly improved, and to-day, buyers have freely purchased to the extent of 6000 bales, at last week's prices, bnt from the late depression, a very uneven market. The crop is now by the most sanguine, not estimated at more than 1,650,000 bales, so that with a tolerable trade, our large stock will only be suffi cient to keep prices steady. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The market has been dull throughout the week, for, although a tolerable business has been done by the trade, the absence of speculation, and the very heavy import of American descriptions, have caused a slight decline in the low qualities ; the better, how ever, were firmly supported by the continued demand for exporta tion. In Surat there is no change to notice; but Brazil is more asked for, and held at higher rates. Speculators have taken 1200 American, and Exporters 800 American and 200 Madras; and there have been forwarded into the country unsold during the past month 1420 American, 40 Egyptian and 400 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 2gth um to the sth instant, inclusive. ciAaritets. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 6. Our arrivals of all sorts of grain are moderate this week. The :ondition of the Wheat showed to-day is much improved, in con equence of which the sale was more free, and an advance of Is per qr. obtained. Barley nominal. Oats and Shellings are each rather higher. Beans are Is per quarter dearer. Other articles as before. --- LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MAY 9. This day's market has been scantily supplied with stock, and prices rule very high, particularly for the first quality. Prime Beef making fully 7d, middling bid, Bulls and Segs 5d to Sid ; good Wethers 7 d, Shearlings bid, sinking the offal; Lambs varying from 20s to 30s, and a ready clearance at the above prices. Number of Beasts 555 ; Sheep 2ti2l. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 9. The extremely low price at which old Butter has been offered during the last week, has awakened the attention of speculators ; and very little of that article is now in first hands. New Butter commands a fair sale, at glis to 98s for leading Waterford, Carrick and Carlow brands. Except for superior Beef and Pork, (which continue in good request,)—the market is dull. Bacon is still an object of enquiry for the South at very steady rates ;—indeed the inclination is upwards. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 6. Business on our market has been quite at a stand still to-day, even at lower prices no progress could be made with sales of free Foreign Wheat; there is stiil more inquiry for bonded. Barley is Is cheaper, and Peas and Beans are a dull sale at decling prices. Oats are in limited demand at Is reduction. ARRIVALS THIS WREK.—English, Wheat, 3,460 qrs; Barley, 3,920 qrs ; Oats, 3,590 qrs ; Flour, 4,110 sacks. Irish, Oats, 2,920 qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 10,050 qrs. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, May 9. Since our report of the 2nd instant, there has been a fair supply of Potatoes brought to hand, principally from Ireland and Scotland —the stocks being now nearly exhausted in the Isle of Man. For the four days past, there has been an extended business transacted in the root, both to our town retail trade, and country buyers, who have been heavy purchasers for transit into the several adjacent towns, at fully 2d per golb advance over the currency of this day week, viz., Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups 2s Id to 2s 4d per lb. The Gurnsey and Jersey blues are now all cleared off the market for the present, and for which there is an inquiry principally by York shire dealers. Our local markets are only scantily supplied with our neigh. bouring farm produce, for which there is a good inquiry, although we cannot note any improvement in prices generally. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

MARKET, MAY 7. The new Corn Law has now come into operation, but its probable effects having to a considerable degree been anticipated, no im pression upon prices has been produced. In none of the principal depots does there appear any disposition to pay duties to more than a trifling extent on either W heat or Flour ; whilst there is still an enquiry for bonded samples, and the averages tend towards a de creased rate of duty. The business of the week has been confined to retail transactions in each article at the quotation of our last. The late seasonable rains have refreshed vegetation, which now bears a most promising appearance. There is no particular change in the aspect of the trade to day. Hardly any fine new Wheat is offering, and on this description a small advance is ob. tainable ; all other qualities dull at late rates. Flour slow of sale at former prices ; the supply of fresh home-made samples is small, hut this is in some degree made up by the stock of Canadian which is now upon the market free. Though holders of Oats and Oatmeal adhere pretty firmly to late prices for the best qualities of each, the demand for both is exceedingly limited. Malt and Beans both steady at former prices. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 6 The weekly average of Wheat, received here this morn ing, shows a slight advance upon the last return, and the duty on that Grain continues at 13s per quarter ; the only change in the import rates for the ensuing week being an in crease on foreign Rye to lOs 6d, and on colonial Rye to is 6d per quarter. Notwithstanding the wind has at length come from a fa vourable point, and a great number of vessels have arrived, few corn-laden ships have made their appearance ; within the past three days, therefore, we have not more than 2670 qrs. Wheat and 530 qrs. Beans to notice from European ports, with 4,800 barrels American and 800 sacks East India Flour; whilst, exclusive of some cargoes of Oats, coastwise and from Ireland. the supplies of British Grain and Flour are in general light, and of Oatmeal only moderate. The trade, subsequent to the passing of the Corn Act, having scarcely had time to recover its usual tone, has been extremely inactive throughout since our report of Tuesday last ; and the millers and dealers at our Corn Exchange to day being generally disposed to remain on the reserve, we have to report a very limited sale for all kinds of 'Wheat, without any material change in the value of the finest de scriptions, but at rather lower rates for secondary and infe rior qualities. A cargo Of Sicilian Wheat afloat, and a par cel of Egyptian in granary here, have been taken by specu lators, at former prices. Free Flour moves off merely in retail at our late currency, but for that article in bond we have no inquiries to-day. The same want of animation pervades all branches of the trade, and we repeat our last quotations, which, however may be considered almost nominal.
