This result, how ever, has been pretty well achieved. The hands, through which the vast correspondence of this great empire passes, are, for their long hours of la bour, remunerated with a pittance less than a com mon mechanic can earn. With a responsibility greater than that of any other officer under the Crown, the post-office clerk is paid less than a daily labourer upon any of our railways, or in any of our workshops, whilst in other government depart ments we see men, less deserving as to intellectual attainments or acquirements, both better paid and infinitel i y more encouraged with the hope of pro spective advancement, as the reward of desert and Take - , ►►s an example of this inequality of treat ment, the case of the clerks employed in the Post office ►and in the Custom-house, or, in fact, in any other branch of the public service, or in o vate commercial employment. There is no one who can deny the vast responsibility which is imposed upon the humblest of the clerks in the Post-office. It is well known, too, that their hours of labour are not of the shortest. There is not one of these clerks upon whose assiduity and attention is not dependent every-day interests more momentous, and responsi bility greater, than the Custom-house clerk has to deal with in a twelvemonth. The mere detention of letter, through irregularity or neglect, in times such as the present. involves the fate of a large com mercial firm, and the thousands connected with its prosperity or adversity. Yet what is the remunera tion of these hard worked servants of the public in our own town ? And it is a fair specimen of their the Liverpool Post-office, something like forty ordi nary clerks, who must be persons of some educa tion, and of good - character and conduct. The pay £7O per annum • and there are o have been eight to ten years in ort lam' of th pittance And what is the prospect of advancement? To what encouraging future have these poor toilers in the public service to look ? A new man enters the y, and is remunerated precisely the s those who have been years in the service. But, before he can hope for an advance—for even the paltry rise from £7O to £BO as his year's salary— he must wait until forty fellow-labourers have either died in the service, been dismissed, or left it He has forty steps in the ladder to vith a grey head and perhaps a -clad children, he achieves the po ition from which a clerk in the Custom-house which a journeyman tailor of ordinary I industry can command as soon as he has service to- n Ms cottage full of i The nut! no pity for of the Post-office, if they have . )eir unfortunate officials, ought really one consideration for the interests of the which may suffer, and do suffer, under the o have operation of the present system. What right have we to expect continual watchfulness and bodily and mental energy from a class of men whose whole life we make a hopeless struggle with po verty We have no right to expect even honesty; and it is most creditable to the Post-office clerks that, in proportion to their number and their temptations, so few are found converting the pro perty of others to their own use. We trust that something will be done for these unfortunate men. nor the Legislature can regard imately acquired savings thus clipped from the wages of a hard-working and respectable class. Neither THERE is a vague impression existing in the minds of Englishmen, probably implanted there by the lessons of our school days, that in whatever cart they may find tfieMselv their per- sons and their property are protected from aggres sion by the respect in which the naval power of our country is held throughout the world.

The flags of other great naval powers float in the harbours of the world for a definite and intelligible object; and are respected because it is seen that they are earnest and practically efficient in securing the preservation of the commercial md of immunity from outrage of their ountrymen. If an American citizen is relations or commercial intercourse, redress is promptly insisted upon and enforced. France, with a similarly jealous care protects her subjects in their trading or other legitimate operations. Great Britain alone refrains from affording such protection, as if ashamed to he seen stooping to interfere in the vulgar affairs and squabbles of • Tier fleets are in every sea. Aishments in whatever spot the globe British commerce makes its resort. But for what useful purpose those fleets present their imposing strength to the world appears as little known to their commanders as to the hum blest tar on board. And, with respect to any real power being vested in our consuls, beyond that of mere protest, there is none such. But if prompt redress upon the s lot where in jury is inflicted upon them is virtually denied to of both these f r a'cts to the iniquito - us case of the Lady Sale of this port referred to by his Worship the Mayor, on a recent occasion, and most ably brought before the attention of the House of Commons by Mr. Cardwell. An outrage more gross than the condemnation of this ship by the Portuguese majority of the mixed commission on ."1 the coast of "Africa—a proceeding conducted throughout more glaringly in defiance of the law— cannot be conceived. Yet her owners,—Messrs. Charles Horsfall and Son,—a firm than whose members no men can be more conscientiously op posed to the hoirible traffic in slaves—none more absolutely above suspicion —must, we presume, await for years the tardy course of protocoling, before they are likely, if indeed they are ever likely, to be re-imbursed the value which has been feloni- man- The THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. sufficient reply to any objection which could have been made to an adverse vote, as being prompted by factious motives. Those classes could not for a moment be sus pected of entertaining the wish to leave even a Whig Government without the means of satisfying the public creditor, and maintaining, in all their efficiency and activeness, the Institutions and Honor of the coun try. They asked only that the burthen of any measure of direct taxation, which might be found necessary, should be made to press more equally upon all classes. The amendment of the honourable member for Cocker mouth—Mr. Horaman—would if carried, have fully met all the difficulties of the case ; and from a gentleman so fully conversant, as Mr. Cardwell undoubtedly is, not only with the feelings entertained by our mercantile clas ses towards the imposition in its present shape, but as well with its peculiar oppressiveness in the present condi tion of commercial affairs and of commercial men, a cor dial support to such amendment might have been reasonably anticipated. Mr. Cardwell might have re membered that as a Liverpool man. connected with the commerce of the port, and in the confidence that in him they would find an excellent commercial states man rather than a mere party man, the exponent of the opinions of this or that statesman, it was that he rece ive d a large portion of the support which placed him in his present distinguished position. We must not now con ceal from him the fact that. by his course on Friday night, he has forfeited the good opinions of a large majority of the constituency which so honoured him. Already, we hear of movements making, and in agitation, with the object of conveying to him an assurance of this fact. which must be as painful for himself to receive as it will for his many personal friends and the admirers of his great talent to feel themselves compelled to join in. In the Jamaica papers which we received last night, we find considerable discussion as to the necessity which now exists for a proper representation of the colonies in the British parliament. We have not space now to enter into the subject, and the following extract from the Jamaica Dispatch of the 7th February, must suffice for to-day. The justice of the arguments cannot be denied. " Colonies will always be treated like poor relations of the empire, till they have a voice in her councils. _ _ "The wail of colonial oppression finds no sympathy in the bosom of a colonial secretary, and it is a slow acid ex pensive process to rouse the active good will of the people of England—always busy with their own affairs. But it would be far otherwise if a colonial member could rise in his place in parliament, and put a question to the minister of the day. " Colonies can never be viewed as integral parts of the empire,' till they are permitted to have a share in the government. " Colonial complaints are doomed to pass through the hands of governors to the colonial office, before they are entitled to receive the attention of government ; hence a prejudiced governor, or colonial secretary, can do much to obstruct or stifle such complaints, without being called to account. " Now that political changes are afloat, a fair opportunity presents itself for all British Colonists to urge their right to '.)e represented in the imperial parliament, as a strong means of correcting the abuses which exist in the colonial office. Such a change is now rendered practicable by the rapidity and certainty of steam navigation, and need not be allowed to disturb the present colonial system, further than that imperial representation must be accompanied by imperial taxation on each colony, in proportion to the amount of protection given to it. . . " The colonial legislatures or councils might remain as they are, and send members to the House of Commons as the stage legislatures of the United States send mem bers to congress. And if all the colonies together had even as many members as Ireland, the rights of colonial property would then—but not till th • • -he as much respected as the rights of property i► the Briti ;h islands." WEST DERBY AFFAIRS.—The annual meeting of the Trustees and Commissioners of Waste Lands in West Derby, was held at the office in Harper-street, Low-hill, at ten o'clock yesterday. The business was confined mainly to the receipt of applications for new enclosures,. the granting of new leases, and the renewing of former leases.--A subsequent meeting was held "at noon same day, at the same place, for the purpose of adjusting the accounts of the trustees of the Waste Lands in the town ship, and disposing of the proceeds. Nothing of general importance transpired at either meeting. THE Ex-BISHOP OF CHESTER—On Sunday morning the Right Reverend Prelate who has been so worthily selected for the Primacy, preached his last sermon in the Cathedral of his late Diocese, from words so suited to his Apostolic character—" The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with you all." At the close of his dis course he made very feeling allusion to his approaching removal. In the afternoon he held a Confirmation in the Church of St. Paul, Boughton. We understand that he leaves Chester on Thursday, for Lambeth Palace. We believe there is now no doubt that Dr. Graham, Master of -_ ?S~"_~~.,: ' T Ws-~:s'~"itr cam. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE, YESTERDAY Whatever may be the result of the present political dissensions on the continent of Europe, there seems to be a pretty general feeling against any interference on our part in the quarrels of other nations ; and, although the revolutionary principles acted upon by the Provisional Government in Paris must be far from consonant with the constitutional feelings of the British people, the desire evinced on their part to restore, as speedily as possible, the peaceful institutions of their country, combined with the friendly feelings already ex pressed towards this nation, warrant us in entertaining a confident belief that the world may yet be saved from another reign of terror. Clusols, which reached their lowest point of 79 1 on Monday last, have fluctuated during the week at a marked improve ment, and closed yesterday at 84 to 82 for money, and 821 to 82 1 for the account; and, although but little dispo sition to speculate has been displayed in the different branches of commercial enterprise, we may fairly hope that the imminence of the danger is past. Yesterday, the SHARE MARKET opened steadily ; a limited business was transacted during the day, but prices were firm at the close. As allusion has been made by a contemporary to Mr. John Ridgway's commercial affairs, we may state that his present difficulties arise, as much from the embarrassment of others as from his own engagem Nits. It is tilt true that two-thirds of his assets are in New Zealand ; there being only about one-third there, and the surplus on the statement submitted instead of being £4OOO is upwards of £lO,OOO. A quiet, firm, steady market for Co•r•rox ve , terday, plenty of cotton offering, and holflers willing sellers, at last week's prices. We may remark that holden; do not press sales, or force the market in any way. 5.000 bales were sold at full prices. The following important infor mation relative to the import stock, and prices of Cotton, we copy from Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co.'s cir cular, published on Saturday : "The import, so far this year, has been 160.040 azainst 187.000 bales in 1847. The trade has taken 216.010 against 148,000, speculators 12,000 =dust 92,001, and the giock, which has increased 20,000 bales from the hiwest point this year, is now 301,000 bales against 467,000 bates A considerable im provement took place during the find two weeks of .ast month, and prices advanced id. per lb. in the ordinary and midding qualities of American and Surat, and id. in the better descrip tions. "The accounts from India and China ny tne last mail were not satisfactory, and at the same time ►he tutvices from Ame rica were looked upon as more in favour of larger slipp!y at moderate prices, and the new landed Cotton paying a fair pro fit, was very freely offered; prices, under these circumstances, gradually declined, and the advance above r noted was tome than lost in the two succeeding weeis. Last week the Hales only amounted to 19,000 bales, and MOOS bales have been sold this week. Public attention Las been fixed upon the extraor dinary political events of the last ten days. Trade in Nlanches ter has been nearly at a stand, but the stocks of Goods and Yarns are represented as being light, and prices are more steady than cou'd have been expected. The sales in the five weeks to this date, of which 65,000 were sold in the first two weeks, amount to 125,000 ba es—specu'ation 10.31,0, export 4400, leaving an average of 22.000 per week for the trade.

THE INCOME-TAX.—Amongst those who voted on Friday night, for "the continuance of the income-tax in its present very objectionable shape, were E. Cardwell, Lord Ashley, Lord Brackley, W. Cubitt, B. Disraeli, W. T. Egerton. W. E. Gladstone, G. C. Glyn, H. Goul burn, Lord R. Grosvenor, G. Hudson, Sir R. H. Inglis, Sir J. Jervis. J. Locke, J. W. Patten, E. J. Stanley, and J. Tollemache. Amongst the members who voted in the minority, for the modification proposed by Mr. Horsman, were W. Brown, Sir T. B. Birch. A. Henry, J. Bright, J. Heywood, J. Brotherton, R. Cobden, W. Evart, R. Gardner, G. Greenall, C. Hindlev, W. Jackson, G. San dars, R. Spooner, R. A. Thicknesse, T. Thornely, Sir J. Walmsle-;, and Dr. Bowling. The details of Mr. Hors man's motion, and its result, will be found in our parlia mentary summary of Friday. PROPOSED MEETING OF THE WORKING CLASSES. — A meeting of a number of the working men of this town was held at 33, Canning-place, yesterday, Mr. Robert Joseph Evans in the chair, when a series of resolutions were agreed to, to the following effect :—That a public meeting of the working classes and others aggrieved by the manner adopted of working the Albert Dock be called to consider the propriety of establishing a Working Man'S Protective Association-Ist, to oppose monopoly in every shape; 2d, to effect an alteration in the system of working the Albert Dock ; 3d, to petition the Dock Committee to abandon the resolution to build more dock warehouses; 4th, to enquire how much of the present vagrancy and destitution of Liverpool have been caused by the indiscriminate employment of itinerant and incom petent persons ; and sth. to foster and promote a friendly feeling between the employer and employed, so that the the latter may be improved Iroperty or privileges of the former DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BERRY-STREET. — S OOII after eight o'clock on Sunday morning, the premises of Messrs. Bennion and Healey, coach-builders, Berry-street, were discovered to be on fire. Six engines were promptly on the spot, but unfortunately no water could be obtained for nearly three quarters of an hour. The cause of this delay is not yet ascertained, but the proper authorities will no doubt investigate the matter. Six or seven car riages in the repository were saved, but the building being combustible was destroyed. In two or three hours the roof fell in. The damage sustained by Messrs. Bennion and Co. is considerable. Both premises and stock were, we learn, insured in the West of England Office for about £3,500, which we fear will not cover their amount of loss. The fire extended back to and damaged several cottages. Mr. Grace, haberdasher, next" door to Messrs. Bennion and Co.. succeeded in removing the whole of his property with the exception of some furniture in an upper room. Mr. Smythe, bookseller, sustained much damage from the water thrown, perhaps £350. The shop of Mr. Eaton was also damaged, and lost some of his stock through theft. The flames, owing to the action of the wind, ex tended to the opposite side of the street, and scorched. the shutters of several shops, particularly those of Mr. Ro berts. Mr. Dowling, Mr. Maxwell, and Mr. Superinten dent Quick lent valuable aid in extinguishing the fire. Mr. Stone, of the Liverpool and London Fire-office, was by which it appears that the difference of receints is still 72,009 less than last year (reduced from 92,000 bales,) by the previous packet. "The estimate of the crop is generally 2,100,000 to 2,2130,009 bales, though there are some higher and others lower. Prices were much the same, and about on a par with our present quotations. Shinments to this country were progressing slowly—only 25,000 bales in the last ten days; but the state of affairs on the Continent may eventually give us a larger share of the crop than would otherwise have been the case. "EAST INDIA. —The import so far this year has been 25400 bales against 9,500 bales, the saes :10,600 against 21,000; and the stock remaining 60,00 against 83.(X)0 bales. The sales in the last five weeks have been 16,200 ha es. The last accounts represented the new clop of Surat as having suffered consi derably from unfavourable weather, and the stock remaining at Bombay so inferior in quality as to he unfit to ship to this country; prices have, nevertheless, given way id per lb., and the market is heavy at present." Our WOOL MARKET has been rather quieter during the past week, very few large sales are reported. Alpaca is not much inquired for. Scotch is very very dull. Im ports for the week :—Foreifm.— Bombay. 10, Shatigae, 51, Islay, 2159, previously, 14,733, to al, 16,953. Scotch.- 477, previously, 2130, total, 2616. The COLONIAL MARKET generally speaking is not very brisk. For Sugar there continues a good demand, and sellers obtain stiff rates. The sales since Friday are about 5000 bags of Bengal and Madras, the latter at 335. to 375. Rum is not much inquired for, a few puncheons have changed hands, at a slight advance. Nothing new to report in Molasses, holders are not anxious to realise, and will not sell unless full prices can be obtained. Coffee is again lower, and the Market is much depressed. The Public Sales of Tea yesterday went off flatly, t here was no disposition to buy, in consequence of which the sound portion was withdrawn. The damaged sold cheap. Rice continues quiet. For Pearl Sago there is a little more enquiry. The Sales in Saltpetre are trifling. Owners want higher prices, which cannot now be obtained. —The markets in London have shown little animation during the week, and the transactions have not been on a very extensive scale. Saltpetre rose rapidly 2s. 6d. per cwt. when the accounts from France arrived, but that was the chief exception to the general dulness. The market for West India sugars, however, closed steadily on Friday at fully 6d. advance on the prices of that day week. Ac counts from Mauritius, up to the 17th December state that the prices of sugar then ranged from 28s. to 465., ac cording to quality. The shipments of :.ugar up to the Bth Dec. represented 37,545,2691 b., agaiwt 52,407,2691 b. at the same period in 1846. Freigtage for England could not be obtained under £5 10s. The market for Scotch pig IRoN has been unsettled by the continental news, and a further reduction in prices has taken place, which may now be quoted, delivered in Glasgow :-No. 1, 493. to 495. 6d. ; Mixed No., 473. 6d. ; No. 3, 455. to 455. 6d. The English and Irish CORN MARKETS at the close of the week, were generally firm, with a Might advance in the leading articles of the Corn trade; which, stimulating a more active demand in _LIVERPOOL, Wheat, Indian Corn, Corn Meal, and Flour, commanded rather higher prices yesterday. The LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET has been pretty liberally supplied with butter dur ng the pErtweek, the arrivals, yesterday inclusive, being 6,112 firkin?, 1.382 casks. Good and fine qualities are rather low in stock, and consequently in low demand, realising extreme rates ; middling and inferior sorts are sowerr of sale, and rathere reduced in value. The following are he prices landed in Liverpool :-Waterford, 88s. to 945.; Kilkenny. Carlow, and Clonmcl, 88s. to 925. ; Carrick, 86s. to 88s. ; Wexford, Carlow, 88s. to 89s. ; Belfast, 88s. to 925. ; Ballymoney and Coleraine, 86s. to 893. ; Banbridge, 84s. to 88s.; Newry and Dundalk, 80s. to 82s. ; Dublin.

The following sales of TIMBER took place last week:- American Pine 'limber was neglected, save 33 .ogs Quebec red, sold at 20d. per foot, the Quebec yellow offered having been limited beyond the market value; a few logs Nova Scotia were sold at Hid. per foot ; and 76 logs hemlock at from Esid. to 9d. per foot. -American Oak, of good size and quality, to the tof 350 feet :A 2s.

In Malt, Beans, and Peas there is no alteration. The supply of Oats being more moderate, an advance of 6d. per quarter was generally demanded, but this checked business and enti:d not be estab:ished, and only a moderate extent of business at firms rates can be reported. MONEY MAI ET-YESTERDAY The Consol market has fluctuated one-half per cent.. the extreme prices being 82i and 2, and are now buyers at 821. Considerable amounts of money stock have been again pur chased by the public, and a farther advance in the price has only been prevented by the " bears" still resting with some degree of confidence on the chapter of accidents that some event will turn up in their favour. The price for money has had the saute extreme ran2e, but it has been fully the turn of Vie market higher on the average than for the account. It is clearly understood that the jobbers have had for several days past to borrow stock for deivery from the bankers. The Three pwr Cents. Reduced have been done from 82i Ito the Three! and a-Quarter per Cents. 83k. Bank Stock 194, The advertised Exchequer-bills have advanced to 25 30, the June bills 25 29, and India Bonds to 5 pm. it indicates considerable confidence. Subsequent letters from Paris tend to its confirmation. Payment of the dividends on the French portion of the Greek . Loan has been authorised by the Provisional Go vernment of Paris. The Banks of Lisle, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Rouen, have all suspended specie payments. At Antwerp, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Frankfort, the respective Bourses have been closed, to avoid rash adven turing in stock jobbing; and at Havre, as well as other places, business has been brought entirely to a stand. The Branch of the Bank of France at Havre has suspended specie payment, and the commercial Bank at Antwerp has stopped business altogether : it is stated that this es tablishment will pay in full. The Directory of the " Societe des Eflets Publics" of the same city, has decided that operations in the public funds shall be temporarily suspended. The failure of the banking firm of F. de Kinder Theunissens has been announced ; this firm will not, it is said, pay more than 50 per cent. At Antwerp and Frankfort general trade was all but suspended. Ap plications had been made at Antwerp, Bordeaux, and Lille, for the Government to authorise a postponement of engagements due on the Ist inst. to the 15th, but nothing definite had re , ulted. The committee of the Amsterdam Bourse have completed arrangements for the settlement of the account, to take place on the 13th inst. Gold is very scarce in Havre. English sovereigns are worth 28 to 33 f aucs each. The commercial intelli g ence from India, by the Over land Mail, reached London on Saturday. At.

The writer of a commercial letter from Bombay, in speaking of the effect of the home failures at that place, s ys that it has been comparatively slight.

(BY EXPRESS THE FRENCH REVOLUTION The most important of the. manifestoes of the Provi sional Government, that of M.

It will be seen from our foreign intelligence that the news of the Revo lution in France has created a great sensation in almost every state in Europe. • The arrival of the Clyde steamer at Southampton, with the West India mails, brings no account of improveme► t in the state of affairs in the colonies. The account of the state of the progress of the sugar crop is certainly not unfavourable; but the depressed state of the home mar kets holds out no inducement to excite energy in the manufacture; it is highly probable, therefore, that the aggregate production will fall short of that, of last season. Commercial natters had not. in any shape improved, the whole of the colonies having severely felt the effects of the stoppage of the West India Bank. The only ameliorating circumstance mentioned is the very low price of provisions in some of the islands, which renders the 'it less severe on the labouring classes. sure of discre LONDON CORN MA lIKET.—YEsrEitoAv.

REALLY NEW SCHEME OF TAXATION It has been a tedious task , which we have had to en counter during the past few weeks, to read through th e nevgeevery sort of remedy for th e f a ili ng con di t i on o f . We are rewarded, h owever, at l engt h w i t h host of pamphlets which have issued from the press, sug gesting n eest e ri w idea—a plan, in fact, which is to supersede customs, excise, stamp, legacy, assessed, income, and every other kind of taxation ; to save us the cost of a coast guard and of revenue cruisers, and to reduce, by two millions arid a half, the cost of collecting the revenue. We don't know whether, ultimately, it might not save us the expense of keeping a Chancellor of the Exchequer. y a anything tax,not else, ape a its The plan in q ues ti on , w hi c h i s proposed by Mr. John Revans, who i n f orms us t h a t h e served for some years as secretary to the Irish Poor Law Commission , is simply this :—Mr. Revans w o uld sweep away at once our present raisesyst the em; r le e a v v e e na r e rs enfeitthleiereeeuxnctisrey h norand income, hut upon the domestic expenditure of each indi vidual orjamily.

Thus, suppose the expenditure of the kingdom is returned to him at £500,000,(0) for the year. and he wants £52,000,000, he will probably say, " 1 may as well have 10i per cent., to be on the safe side;" and we shall all immediately have The Duchess of Montpensier has been sent for bY t he Madrid Government.

According to the return from the Bank of England for the week ending 26th February, the amount of notes in circulation was £18,179,7 55, b ein g an increase of £95,060; and the stock of bullion in both departments was £14,760,815, showing a n increase of £191,166 w h en coin pared with th. preceding return. Money, in the shape of Bullion, continues to flow into the country, and the stock in the Bank is now £14,569, 649 against £8,312,691 at the lowest point in October, whilst the Notes unemployed amount to £9,806,010—an increaso of £2,358,625 during the last month. The Bank still supports the rate of 4 per cent., and it is not desirable to see it reduced ; but should there be no further dis turbances on the Continent, Money must be cheap,—as it is probable that a considerable amount may be sent to this country, for secure investment. The suspension of Messrs. De Mattos and De Leon, general merchants, which was announced in London on Friday, was expected to be merely temporary, pending ad vices from the firm in Amsterdam. The Bourse was expected to open yesterday ; and ac counts from Paris as to the probable tone of the money market are as favourable as could have been expected. It is asserted that offers have been made for the Three per Cent. Rentes ' of 55f. for money, and 60f. for time, and that these have been refused : if this can be relied on, orders to prepare that ainount, which, by the way, we are very considerately allowed to pay by monthly instalments! We may add that, to save unnecessary exposure of details, for example, tne disclosing of such items as •` new hori zontal grand for Caroline, or " paid Master John's losses on the Derby," —it is only expected that each party should return himself as having expended "'not exceeding £100," and so on. Of course strict honesty may be de pended upon ! Our readers, we fear, will suspect we are hoaxing them. We are not doing anything of the kind. The sage pro positions noticed are contained in a pamphlet just now before us, hearing the imprint, " London : John Hatehard and Son, 187, Piccadilly." Its price is a shilling, and it is cheap at the money as a curiosity.

They were missed on Saturday, and finally traced, through the carter, to the cellar. The auger (weighing about a ton) was consigned to Messrs. J. and D. Gray, and was identi fied by the marks. The cellar had to be broken open by direction of the magistrate. The prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions. THE WEATHER. — On the whole, the weather since the beginning of the present month has been fine for the sea son, and peculiarly favourable for the tilling of the ground. Wednesday and Thursday were coldish, but dry. Friday was mild, bright, and sunny; Saturday rather changeable. On Sunday morning we had heavy rain, apparently set in for the day, and with a high wind ; but it cleared up beau tifully in the afternoon, and a splendid evening and clear starry night succeeded. Yesterday was fine and clear throughout, and did much to reduce the superfluous water that had collected in the low grounds. The sowing of spring corn will, ere long, be commenced in earnest. By reference to our Weather Table for last month it will be found that not less than 4 inches of rain fell in this locality during that month,—an extraordinary downfall, exceeding that of January by nearly 3 inches. In Manchester the„ fall of rain last month was also unusually great, even for that proverbially wet locality. The glass with us ranged between minimum and maximum points much lower and much higher than ordinary within a month. METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER, e r, BY MR. C. H.
