MARION. FROM THE FRENCH.) I am your own, my Marion, You charm me with your gentle art, Even from the first my love was won, Your pretty ways o pleased my heart ; If you will not, or if you will, I am compelled to love you still. No joy was ever like my joy, When I beheld those smiling eyes, Those graceful airs so soft and coy, For which my heart with fondness dies And when I seek the charm in vain, I dream the pleasure o'er again. Alas! I have no palace gay, My cottage is but small and plain, No gold, nor marble, nor display, No courtly friends nor glitt'ring train ; But honest hearts and words of cheer Are there, and store of love sincere. - - Why should we not be quite as blest Without the wealth the great may own A shepherd life, methinks, is best, Whose care is for his flock alone, And when he folds them safe and warm, He knows no grief, he dreams no harm If you, dear Marion, would be mine, No king could be so blest as I ; My thoughts, hopes, wishes, should combine To make your life pass happily Caresses, fondness, love, and glee, Should teach you soon to love like me. —.Athenceum. --•---- THE SEAMAN'S DAUGHTER.

When round her ocean -dwelling Burst the rude tempest's blast ; While waves, to mountains swelling, D aug hter, Forth o'er the sinking mast Forth came the Seaman's aughter, Like Mercy, o'er the wave, Stemming that stormy water, To succour and to save.

LITERARY NOTICES, PEACE WITH CHINA PROSPECTS OF AN IMPROVED TRADE WITH CHINA--STEAM BETWEEN ENGLAND AND CHINA, AND BETWEEN ENG" LAND AND AUSTRALIA. VIA THE CAPE OF GOOD nor} --AND THE ADVANTAGES LIKELY THEREBY TO .A.CCRAIE TO BOTH EMPIRES FROM THEIR ALTERED POSITION Our attention has been drawn to an able article on the above subjects, contained in the last number of Fisher's Colonial Magazine, from the pen of our late townsman, Mr. Robert Wise, now of Allonby, near Maryport, a gen tleman whose extensive knowledge well handle the matt ers of which he treats . H e qua lifies him t o prefaces his re marks, before entering upon the business questions in view, by landing, with the zeal of one who has shared in Winning his country's glories, the intrepidity and bravery of those who have been engaged in acquiring for this nation such em i n ent advantages as are certain to result from the late termination of the war with China; and, after tracing the operations of our fleets, expresses a well-grounded hope that the peace so concluded will prove solid, and, in its results, highly beneficial to Great Britain, to British India, and to China itself. That such must be the case will be evident to every reflective mind, so long as those placed in power ex ercise their energies in convincing that fickle nation that British commerce and British interests are not to be tams - pered with with impunity. We have convinced the Cele tials of our prowess ; it now only remains for us, while ex ercising the sinews of British enterprise, to endeavour to raise that vast empire in the scale of civilisation, and thereby make the advantages we have acquired more permanent and lasting ; and, as Mr. W. observes, our success in China will be sure to exercise a most beneficial influence in our favour in the Cochin China, Siam, Birmah, and Malayan States. The prospect of an improved trade with China, resulting in the lately-conc luded peace, depends, as the writer ob serves, solely upon the terms to be settled by Sir Henry Pottinger. That the Britishht has had many and serious obstacles to contend in his intercourse Chinese, he has long known to his cost. He has been ha s - r assed and cajoled by the Hong merchant ; paralysed in has operations by the capricious whim or villanous propensities of a local governor, in altering and enlarging the import and ties.

Full many a varied path of life I've traced Where worth and beauty every circle graced, But—if my heart can prejudice dismiss — I never gazed on nobler scene than this! Of all the charms which woman's power attest, The beauty of benevolence is best ; And never charity found lovelier throne, Than when she made sweet woman's breast her own Could charity more pure, more heavenly shine, Instruction seek a labour more divine, Than when the Deaf and Dumb they onward led, And o'er their minds the light of knowledge shed ; Showed them, by signs, where angel footsteps trod, And made their spirits conscious of their God ? Oh, what a gleam of glory broke around, When first their souls a living Scripture found, And o'er the double darkness of their night Mercy arose !—and ignorance took flight ! Say ye, who, blessed with language to explain Each wish, each pleasure, feeling, hope, or pain, What bath the world to bribe ye to forego The Godlike power to utter what ye know, — To lose all sounds that bid the soul rejoice, The music—taste—and eloquence of voice ?

CHARLES SWAIN _.._.----.1111.50..-- THE HINDOO CONVERT The following lines were suggested by an anecdote told of a young Hindoo. who, being frequently found weeping, and being questioned by the Missionary as to the cause of her sorrow, was at length induced to acknowledge that, having felt the saving truths of the Gospel, she wept for her !no ther's ignorance, who was wanderi n g with her tribe in a part of the country where the Missionary labours bad not at that time extended : ` Why lost thonweep, my daughter —why ?" the pastor kindly , Who be said nt with holy zeal beside the Indian's lowly bed ; " Why dolt thou weep—the sacred page, where rests thine anxious eye, Doth it not bear a healing balm to sooth thy every sigh ?" —she cried—" I feel it all—l own its matchless " Father . grace, And, oh ! I would its blessed truths were felt by all our race : My :Mother. she whose gentle smile beamed bright on child hood's way, She doth not feel its gracious power—Father—she cannot She wanders by the gushing fount—she hears the wild wood song, lists the fresh'ning breezes play the forest boughs a mon g ; She Yet knows not of the Mighty One who bids those breezes At whose blow, high voice, e'en from the rock, the sparkling waters flow' Oh L. Father, she hath never heard of Jean's matchless love, Which can from out the sinner's heart each dark'ning stain remove : She knows not of that holy clime—that haven of the blest, Where thewicked cease from troubling—the weary are at rest And thus I weep to think that she whose care my childhood nursed Must tread the heathen's darksome paths, and die—perchance accursed !"

These points duly settled before our troops Bri leave China, we may look forward loy to periods unexampled fur tish enterprise, and sources innum erable for the empment of British capital and skill. Mr. Wise, with the characte klitic spirit of an old sailor, — supposing that the foregoing 50* left, in a great m easure, unsettled, and that the f;4 11 should return to their beloved feeing system, or Numerous, as you may conceive, have been the pilgrimages made to the far-famed " Porcelain Tower." For the first time in inspecting any of the monuments re'nomme's of this country, no disappointment has been experienced, whilecom paring what actually is, with what the legends of the book makers in China &scribe to be. It is, indeed, a most elegant and singular structure, as remarkable for its correct propor tions as for the rare material of which it is partially com posed. I say partially, because the mass of building is not of porcelain, but is composed of common brick, with a facing and lining of beautiful white glazed porcelain bricks or slabs, fixed into the masonry by means of deep keys or shoulders, cast like a half T, on the brick. Its form is octagonal, and running up each of the angles is a moulding of large tiles of very fine clay, glazed and coloured red and green alternately ; round each story runs a light balustrade formed of green porcelain, upon which four arched doorways open, set to the four cardinal points, the arches being elegantly turned with lare glazed tiles, cast in all imaginable fancies of design and variegation of colour, representing wild beasts, demons, deities, monsters, &c. It appears to be a " sight" amongst the Chinese themselves, for there are priests or bonzes at tached to the building to keep it in order, who earn their consideration by distributing to the visitors lithographed elevations of the tower, with descriptions attached, and who seem to have the duty intrusted to them of illuminating it on gala occasions. This is effected by means of lanterns, made of thin oyster shells, used in lieu of window glass by the Chinese, which are placed at each of the eight angles on every story, and the effect of whose subdued light on the reflective surface of the. tower must be most striking and beautiful. The walls of Nankin are more remarkable for their extraordinary height and great extent than for the strength which has been given to them by the builders : in some places they are not less than seventy feet in height, and at very few points along an enciente of fully twenty miles in I extent are they less than fifty. There are, however, several points at which they are open to escalade with twenty-six feet ladders ; the Chinese engineers, though they have evi dently bestowed extensive repairs upon the fortifications this year, having, as usual, forgotten to raise their ramparts where the undulations of the ground alter the levels of their foundations. From the peculiar features of the country ad joining the town, and from the situation of the Tartar city or citadel, which is separated from the great straggling mass of the town by open fields and gardens, it appears evident that the place could at any time be readily carried by a com paratively small force, and retained against a very large one of undisciplined troops, as long as they had the means of procuring supplies, which, in consequence of the goodness of the road and its inconsiderable length, could always be ob tained from the river. The Chinese, I think, must have wis dom enough to know that our stay here, and our examina tions of their city from the heights and from the summit of the Porcelain Tower, have taught us this secret; and it may, therefore, be considered as an additional reason to the many that exist, why they should not too soon again tempt the " devil's children" to measure strength with their bravos. Three to four thousand seasoned troops, with a few guns, some powder bags, mining tools and scaling ladders, would have Nankin under their command in a week from Woosung, with four or five steamers, and a dozen junks or decked boats to be towed up by them against the stream ; and from the important discovery of coal of decent quality in large quan tities here, we may always reckon upon being able to keep steamers constantly employed in bringing in supplies from all points on the river, whither they can be drawn. But to render them serviceable to the state, they must never be under the sole and despotic sway of an admiral. If the ex perience of the present military commander-in-chief could be made available for the benefit and information of his com panions of the service, the government would, in all proba bility, have much difficulty in finding an officer of any worth or standing who could be induced to serve as a joint leader in a combined expedition, the circumstances of which pro mised to be at all similar to those under which the land forces have reached here. CHINESE POETRY.—We subjoin the following specimen of Chinese poetry, published in the second volume of the Royal Asiatic Transactions, and written 3,000 years ago. Besides the pleasure its intrinsic beauty will afford, it offers a convincing proof of the substantial identity of human feel ings in all times and countries. The piece bemoans the fate of a maiden betrothed to a humbler rival, but compelled to become the bride of a rich and powerful suitor : The nest yon winged artist builds, Some robber bird shall tear away : So yield her hopes the affianced maid, Some wealthy lords reluctant prey. The fluttering bird prepares a home, In which the spoiler soon shall dwell ; Forth goes the weeping bride, constrained A hundred cares the triumph swell. Mourn for the tiny architect, A stronger bird hath ta'en its nest ; Mourn for the hapless, stolen bride, How vain the pomp to soothe her breast ! THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND MORE ANCIENT THAN TIIE CHURCH OF ROME. — Tbe following anecdote will serve to illustrate this truth. It is extracted from a work, entitled Appeal to Common Sense," written (A.D. 1770) by the Rev. Philip Skelton :—" About sixty or seventy years ago, there was a poor man in Dublin, who earned a scanty sub stinence on a loom, but found time on Sundays to read the Scriptures, and a few other nooks of easy digestion. This man, in the shops and streets of the city, entered into fre quent controversies with Jesuits, and other abettors of popery; wherein be was thought, at 4 least by Protestants, to have generally the advantage. After some time, a Jesuit of more than common eminence gave him a challenge to enter into an argument with him in the Thosel of Dublin, on a day and hour prefixed. A vast concourse of people, and some bishops, assembled on the remarkable occasion. The Jesuit asked him—' Where was his religion before Harry the Eighth ?' The weaver, looking attentively at his countenance, as if he observed something extraordinary, asked him, if he had washed his face that morning ?' and had an affirmative answer. Where, then (said the weaver), was your face before you washed it ? Here ended the dispute in a very sensible peal of laughter, set up by common sense. This poor man, whose name is lost, as that of the poor man in Ecclesiastes, who saved a city by his wise counsel, knew perfectly well that our Reformers did not undertake, as the Genevans did, toform a new church, but to reform the Church of England. The Church contracted, in the corning down from the Apostles' days, a great deal of rust by the falseness and carelessness of its keepers, particularly by the Church of Rome. The reformers scoured off the rust, and kept the metal; that is the Romish religion, this is the English. The members of the Church of Rome added false doctrines to the Christian faith ; our reformers left the one and kept to the other : this is ancient, those are new. Our religion is the same with that of the early Christians, martyrs, and confessors, believed in the first three hundred years, and de fended by all councils truly general. Our 'religion in those first ages was in Palestine, in Greece, in Antioch, where the disciples were first called Christians by divine appoint ment, (Acts XI. 26) ; in Bjitain, where it was planted in the apostolic age, if not by St. Paul himself; and in Rome, and wherever the great labours of her first Apostles carried her to the different and remote countries of the world. It suf fered, indeed, great variety of changes and conditions by the interest and wickedness of men. Sometimes more adultera ted, and sometimes more pure, it tted from country to coun try ; sometimes greater and sometimes smaller in its number—sometimes in a dejected, and sometimes in a nun flourishing state. But somewhere or other it was, entire and without roiAture, as it was at first given to the world. And such an old religion we are of; holding fast neither more nor less, neither adding nor diminishing what Christ and his Apostles taught. These considerations sufficiently prove the antiquity of our Church, and fully justifies her claim to t an origin long prior to that of the Church of Rome.—The Vil lage Churchman, edited by the Rev. Joshua Fawcett, In cumbent of Wibsey, Bradford. A person named Westgate, from Chalvington, undertook for a wager, to shoot at and hit 97 penny pieces out of 100. The match came off in the cricket-ground, when George Picknell, the Cricketer, threw up the pence, and Westgate actually hit 99 of the 100 !—Susses Erpress. A young woman named Hoffam died at Lewisham on Tuesday from having drunk gas water under the impression that it would kill worms, with which she was afflicted.:The water is that which escapes from gas works. It is a deadly poison. EXTENSIVE TIIEFTS.—A young man, in the employ of Messrs. Campbell, of Glasgow, has embezzled from his em ployers, at various times since October last, large quantities of silk goods, and pledged them. The value of the whole is estimated at £350. The wine trade is again stirring to obtain a remission of duties, on account of the contemplated treaty with Portugal, and intend to make a vigorous assault during the next session of parliament, though, we apprehend, with no better prospect of success than heretofore. —Sunday Observer. BRITISH CIGARS.—At 'Worship-street police-office, on Monday, a young man named Charles Nash was charged with hawking cigars without a license. It appeared that the cigars were made from rhubarb leaves, and called by the prisoner " British manufactured cheroots." On Monday last William Smith, a little boy, about twelve years of age, was committed by the magistrates of Yarmouth (Norfolk) to the House of Correction for three mouths, for being found sleeping in the open air, and without any visible means of subsistence.—Su f folk Chronicle. SECRETARYSHIP OF IRELAND.—A report has prevailed during the present week, we know not on what authority, that the Hon. J. S. Wortley, one of our knights of the shire, is about to accept the Secretaryship of Ireland, vice Lord Elliot the rumoured successor of SAC. Bagot in Canada. —Leeds Mercury. RENTAL OF MANCHESTER.—It appears from statistics which have just been published, that, notwithstanding the the pressure upon trade and manufactures experienced since 1839, there has been an increase in the value of property in the borough of Manchester, within the last three years, of not less than £224,494. On Friday last, Mr. Paisley of Broughton's celebrated greyhound, Gelert, was unfortunately killed whilst in the act of striking his game at the fence, after a splendid run over an extensive fallow near Greysouthern. When the sportsman got up, the hare and the dog were both found lying dead. — Carlisle Journal. We have just heard of a curious and interesting practical application of a recent and scientific discovery, which will somewhat startle our readers—the Chinese treaty was copied by the photographic process .of Mr. Fox Talbot ; and the copy, so made, for the safe of securing perfect accuracy, is now deposited amongst the state papers.—Alhenfflum. TILE CHURCH QUESTION.-It appears from the roll of the Court of Session that the Auchterardar and Strathbogie cases are to be held before the whole court on Tuesday, the 24th instant, to be continued on Wednesday and Thursday, and to be concluded on Friday —one counsel to be heard on each side.— Witness. A terrific affray took place on Sunday, between the Lon don police and the inhabitants of Lincoln-couft, Drury-lane, a place inhabited by the lowest orders. The police were severely injured, one having had his head laid open. A woman also received the same injury, and another had her arm fractured. The law officers of the crown have given an opinion that magistrates at petty sessions have not power to commit for contempt parties misconducting themselves in court. The remedy is, to have informations sworn on the spot against the party, who will afterwards be prosecuted by the crown at the quarter sessions or assizes. THE HERRING FISHERY.—In Orkney, the herring fishery has been very successful during the last month, particularly at Lewis, where herrings were selling a week ago at the low rate of ss. a cran. So great has been the success that we hear the fishermen have been under the necessity of stopping for a time owing to the want of the means of preserving any —Edinburgh Paper. OPPOSITION LEADERSHIP.—The following circular has been addressed to the Whig and Radical members :—" Lord John Russell presents his compliments to and takes the liberty of informing him that questions of importance affect ing the state of the country will be brought forward at the commencement of the session, which opens on Thursday, Feb. 2." Goon PELAYERS.—The Lacediemonians bad a peculiar form of prayer ; for they never used, according to Plato, either in their public or private devotions to make any other request than that the Gods would grant what was honourable and good for them ; but Plutarch tells us they added one petition more—viz., that they might be able to suffer in- Cituncn Cuotns.--•1n England there are about 10,000 churches, and as many chapels of ease ; it is fair to presume that at least 10,000 of these places of worship could support a choir of eight persons ; this would give partial employment to at least 80,000 persons, which, considering the times, would be the means of alleviating many a worthy father's care in providing for his family.—Musical World. On Sund;:v afternoon a temporary gallery in Queen-street Chapel, Lambeth, which had been erected for the accommo dation of the children in the school, gave way, carrying fifty children upon it to the ground. The annual sermon was to be delivered that day, and a numerous congregation were assembled. Several children were severely injured, and the life of one is despaired of. About the middle of last month there was a grand ceremony at Venice, called the solemn inauguration of the railroad be tween Venice and Padua. The Patriarch, surrounded by all the first authorities, gave his benediction, and then delivered a very violent speech against such innovations as railroad travelling, which he thought would facilitate the introduction of books and liberal opinions? The will of the Countess Munster has been proved in Doctors'-commons by Lord De Lisle, General Wyndham, and Mr. Cameron, the executors. Her ladyship gives to her three younger sons £50,000 ; and the remainder of her pro perty to her eldest son, the present earl ; her daughters, the two Ladies Fitzclarence. having been separately provided for by their maternal grandfather, the late Earl of Egre mont,; If the collection of specie in the vaults of the banks was any evidence that the merchants were doing a good business, or that the country was adding to its wealth, there would be no difficulty in demonstrating both. There is now in the banks of this city more than 7,000,000 dollars. In the pre sent state of their circulation, 4.000,000 dollars is deemed an ample supply. It is believed that at no former period has so great an amount been in the state of New York as at the present moment, and the quantity is increasing by daily ar rivals.—Letter from Genevese Traveller. The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the St. Katharine's Docks, London, was held on Tuesday, when a dividend of 21 per cent. on the h a lf- year was declared, the company defraying the charge of the income tax.

LABEL STAMPS FOR LETTERS.—The public should be aware that label stamps cut out from envelopes though not used, and pasted on letters are not recognised as stamps by the post-office, and, consequently, postage is charged. The Court of Exchequer, it is understood, has accepted bail for a house which is a large importer of foreign silk goods, on a charge of smuggling. The charge, it is said, is made on the evidence of a landing waiter lately deceased. An Irish provincial paper has the following startling an nouncement :—" A list of the subscribers to the reward for the murder of James Scully, Esq., appears in our columns of this day."

Mr. Jolliffe was one of the oldest members of the House of Commons, having represented the borough of Petersfield more than forty years. A MAN FOUND DEED.—An old man, called Bruce Morrow who lived in the neighbourhood of Banbridge, was returning home a few night since, after having drunk pretty freely, and when near his own house fell over a wall of a bridge about fourteen feet high, in Mr. Brice Smith's nursery grounds, where he was found next morning dead. On Sunday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, Mr. Bennet, a watchmaker, residing at No. 167, Oxford street, quitted home, locked after him the door, and on his return at 10 o'clock the same night he found that the pre mises had been broken into, and watches, &c., to the amount of from £2OO to £3OO, stolen therefrom. The police are en gaged in endeavouring to trace out the thieves. The Journal de Coutances states that a whirlwind of extra ordinary violence passed over part of the town on the 11th instant, and did considerable damage, taking away stones, slates, and tiles, and stripping several houses. A letter from Bourges, of the 13th, mentions that for five days a tempe.t had been raging in the neighbourhood, and had committed some ravages. TRIAL OF TIIE DUNFERMLINE RIOTERS.—In the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Friday last, James Ramage, jun., miner and coalhewer, Dunferm one; Penman coalhewer, Halbeath ; and Thomas Joyce, weaver, Dunfermline, were placed at the bar, and pleaded guilty to a charge of mobbing and rioting in Dunfermline, at the riots which took place there in August last. The court sentenced them to ten months' imprisonment. SUDDEN DEATH.—WIII. I extreme regret we learn that Mrs. Ewing wife of the Rev.

On Friday an in quest was held on view Of the body, by Captain Bradshaw, and a verdict of wilful murder returned.—Nenagh Guardian. If any proof were wanting of the progress of physical and moral degradation amongst the manufacturing population, we have a very strong opinion that the result of the last quarter's registration of births and deaths will furnish abun dant evidence of the fact ; at least, if the result in other dis tricts is similar to that of Leeds, the proof cannot be dubious. The quarter's returns are not all made up yet. and, therefore, we cannot give the result in detail; but we can supply some particulars. Whilst the marriages at the register-office and Dissenting chapels have not increased in number, those at the parish church, in 1842, are less by between 200 and 300 than in the year 1841. In the number of births registered during the last quarter a decrease of a fifth or sixth will be manifest, as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1811, while the number of illegitimate children born have been trebled in some, if not in all, the districts. —Bradford paper. MELANCHOLY ACCI DENT.—We regret to learn that a me lancholy accident occurred on Monday by the swamping of the small boat which was landing the passengers from the St. George steamer, by which one life was lost, and many others put iu imminent peril. About twelve o'clock on Monday, the boat, containing four or five boatmen, and eight passen gers (among whom was Dr. Candlish), was proceeding from the steamer to the low-water pier at Lower Largo, and when nearing the pier, the boat in wearing round, in accordance with the usual practice of the boatmen, that it may enter the harbour stern foremost, a heavy sea broke upon her broad side, and nearly filled her. She went down instantly ; and all the passengers, with the boatmen, were plunged in the water. The accident was so near the shore that many people witnessed it, and instant help was procured ; Dr. Candlish, we understand, was rescued by the Rev. Mr. Brown of Largo. who was on the pier, waiting his arrival, and who, on seeing the accident, rushed into the water, and at considera ble personal risk, succeeded i❑ bringing his friend ashore. The others were all got safely ashore, with the exception of a Young man, aged 21. SINGULAR AND MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—On the morn ing 'of Wednesday last, the town of M oun t rat h was th rown into a state of the greatest excitement, in consequence of a report that two men had shot each other near the church. It was ascertained that one of the men was d ea d, an d i n the course of the day a coroner's inquest was held before John H. Owen, Esq., when it appeared from the examination of several witnesses that the deceased, nam e d Willi am S cu lly, went to bed in company with a lemon dealer, named Hanly. They appeared on the best terms, and had been intimate for two years previously. Shortly after their going up stairs, a man in the kitchen heard two heavy blows, and on going up stairs with Delany (the owner of the house), they found the lemon dealer bleeding pr , lnsely. The deceased then came down stairs with a ca., ct pistols, and shot himself in the kitchen. The jury reti.irt, verdict of suicide and tem porary insanity. Scully was a stranger, and stopped at the sante house for two years. He was by trade a harness-maker, and occasionally dealt in cattle. No information could be obtained as to where he came from, or how he contrived to conceal the pistols, he having no box in the house. He had the character of being a very sober man, was aged 60 years, or upwards, and enjoyed good health up to the time. He had only a few pence on his penon, and at the time of com mitting the act was half undressed. The lemon de a l er , we understand, lies in a d angerous s t a t e , his skull being frac tured from the blows inflicted by his wretched companion.— Leinster Express.. is pupils. The w M it r i . i P g a e y n n e t r e a r l , c u h n a n r a g t e t d m with i i co DREADFUL CASE.-At th e W a ndsworth Police-office, on Wednesday, Daniel Willi amson , the keepe r o f a boarding. comm odnet i t t o ti % n v g ar a ds ca h p i it s al offence, and school at Kingston Ne w -t own, was pl a ced a t th e dock, before I ea number s of were f f prisoner a man about thi rty years of age, and p ossesses a opinion ot great m a ny i shola.uethere wo heavy dogged-looking cou n t en ance. It was stated on th e examination, that a sho r t ti me s ince the prisoner was us h er in e a boarding-school rs where n the goo there families, and having saved money he opened a boarding school at Kingston, and am ong st his patrons and well-wisher; were the parents of the children towards whom he has so misconducted himself. Mr. K---, a highly respectable tradesman in London, is the father of one of the boys, who has been nearly two years in the school, and Mr. E—, who is also an extensive tradesman, is the parent of two others. The circumstance which led to the discovery was this :—The day before the one appointed for the return of Mr. E—'s boys to school, the elder son threw himself at his mother's feet, and implored her not to send him again to Mr. William son's school, and said lie would rather go out as an errand boy than return to that school. This extraordinary excla mation led to an immediate inquiry into the cause, and the buy ultimately confessed that the prisoner had, through his unwilling instrumentality, been guilty of the most heino us offence punishable by the laws of this country. The father, stung almost to madness by the confession of his elder son, questioned the younger, a child only nine years of age, and towards him he ascertained that the prisoner had acted most abominably. Mr. E— immediately communicated with Mr. K—, who, dreading that the contamination had ex tended to his own family, questioned his son, a lad of fourteen years of age. who ultimately confe ssed to such a series of abominable offences as to reduce his father to a state bordering upon madness. It should be stated, that the latter boy had returned to school a week since, and these facts were drawn from him at the school, to which the father had proceeded with a medical gentleman.

Oporto ....... s of China FRIGHTFUL CONVLAGRATIO: Visited metropolis for many years broke evening, about seven o'clock, in the floor-cloth mane factory of Mr. Josiah Rolls, situate near the cana bridge, in the old Kent-road. The premises occupied a most commanding situation, fronting the main road, and extending to a width of about 60 feet, running back to a depth of 150. The progress of the flames was terrific, and the whole building was on fire from the top to the bottom in less than ten minutes from its first discovery. Messengers had been despatched on horseback to town for the engines, but from the great distance (nearly four miles) a very long period elapsed before their arrival. The fire meantime in creased in a most extraordinary manner, and the heat from the burning mass became so intense that it was found necessary, although the road is in this spot nearly 80 feet wide, to throw water on the houses op posite to prevent their igniting. Two houses in Ranger place were from the first considered in great danger, and all the moveable property which could be got at was thrown out of the windows into the street. An extensive factory belonging to Mr. Goulson, a very lofty building, rising to a considerable height over the dwellings in Ranger-place, was exposed to the full action of the flames, which shot through the roof of Mr. Roll's warehouse. A very short time elapsed be fore the rafters of this building caught fire, and the most fearful apprehensions were felt for the safety of the whole neighbourhood. The workmen and others in the service of Mr. Goulston had been some time previously engaged in removing the property, and con tinued to labour incessantly until long after the flames had reached the second floor of the warehouse, when the heat became so intense that they were desired to desist. Two of the brigade engines arrived shortly before eight o'clock, and were quickly followed by the West of England engine. The hose was immediately con nected and conveyed to the canal, the only source f rom m joints e shortly aft er g i v i ng skeleton ; e ver y ti m b er burning w hichashowever water a cot this uld tbe obtained. M r . R o ll s ' s f actory was i m e a re y'arnud the c ture fell t o th e groun d at once with vehrcole tremendous eist crash. The flames h a d now a l so ‘a y, athe fi whole communicated to the two dwellings in Ranger-place before alluded to, which divided the factory of Mr. Rolls from that of Mr. Goulston, and the whole range was one mass of flames. Other engines now arrived ; but all hope of saving any part of the premises to which the fire had already communicated was at an end, and the labours of the firemen were confined to the salvage of the surrounding premises, on which a large quantity of water was thrown by the e ng i nes . The rapidity with which the terrible element spread was most extraordinary. Mr. Bradford states that by the time lie reached the scene with the engine from Watling• street station, a period of not more than 25 minutes after the fire had been discovered, both the immense factories of Mr. Rolls, as well as that of Mr. Goulston, the other floor-cloth manufactory, together with that gentleman's dwelling-house, that of his father-in-law, Mr. Gibbs, with the extensive outhouse attached, were enveloped in one mighty mass of flame, to approach which within 200 feet was utterly impos sible. It is a singular fact that Mr. Rolls and Mr. Goulston were formerly in partnership, and when a dissolution took place the latter gentleman erected a new factory near that of his former partner; both are now destroyed by the same unfortunate accident. Most of the property consumed is insured. The different offices that are sufferers by the destruction of Mr. Rolls's premises are reported to he as follows : Sun Fire-office, £5,000; Phoenix, S 5,000; Imperial, £3,000; Union, £3,000; Atlas, £3,000; London, £2,000; Royal Exchaiiße, £3,000. Total, £24,000- Mr. Goulson's factory is also insured in the follow ing offices, and their several losses are given out as subjoined :—Sun Fire-office, £3,000 ' • Licensed Vic tualler's-office, £2,000; Y o rk and Londc,n, £2,000; two others, £1,700. Total, £8,700. The fire insurance companies will suffer by the calamity a loss of between £30,000 and £40,000. The Coptiontleeple late ices tt at the *ming Herat Of Its, of an atrocious murder cam mated by the Khan of Ballara t in Central Asia, on two British officers—namely, Colonel Stoddart, formerly attached to the British legation in Persia ; and Captain Conolly, the author of a well-known book of travels in the east. It ap pears that these gentlemen, travelling through the country, were seized as sines ; that they refused the interference of the Russian resident agent, who might have saved them, and that both were beheaded in the market-place—Colonel Stoddart first, and Captain Conolly after, the latter having refused to save his life by renouncing Christianity. A"dividend, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, was de clared at the meeting of the proprietors of the London Joint Stock Bank, on Thursday, the affairs of which appear to be progressing in a satisfactory manner. The directors in their report, allude to the excessive abundance of money in the markets, and the few channels open for its safe investment which has, of course, in a certain degree, checked the oppor tunity they would otherwise have had to increase profits. The accounts, however, on the whole, present a fovourable condition, the net profit for the half-year being £19,189. Of this sum they have appropriated £lB,OOO, to the pay ment of the dividend, and added the remainder to the guar antee fund, now amounting to £94,403. 17s. 2d. REBECCA AND HER DAUGHTERS.—A party of Major Whylock's detachment of Royal Marines, stationed at Mil ford, was despatched on Thursday morning, in carriages, from that place, under the orders of Captain Wilson, to St. Clare's, Carmarthen, to suppress some riots, founded on a warfare against turnpike -gates, described in a paragraph headed " Rebecca and her Daughters," which has gone the round of the press. It is supposed, that as the farmers have refused to be sworn in as constables, they are encouraging their labourers in these acts of destruction. The rioters are armed with muskets, pistols, and scythes, and fancy they will be able (not calculating on the arrival of the" redcoats") to effect the demolition of every turnpike-gate in this way, and then attack the union-house at Neorbeth, to which they have also &very great antipathy.—Hampshire Telegraph. BARN-FLOORS.—The present price of oak timber renders a barn-floor of that material an expensive article ; and if any substitute could be found, the landed proprietor would be much benefitted by the discovery. It is not, perhaps, gene rally known that beech has been for the last half-century used for that purpose in Buckinghamshire, with great suc cess. It should be cut early in the winter, and laid on oak sleepers, filling up the interstices with a composition of coal tar, sand, and coal ashes, so as to come in contact with the plank, which may also, if exposed to a damp situation, have its under surface coal-tarred also. This will effectually pro tect it from all moisture arising from the earth. There are two sorts of beech, the black, and the white ; the black should be preferred. One of these floors will last nearly as long as an oak one of the present day; for the quality of the oak now-a-days is sacrificed to the value of the bark, by cutting so late in the spring. Two beech floors may be had for the price of one of oak. B. L. WATSON'S BANKRUPTCY.—The bankrupt, who is described as a dealer in flags, but is better known to the pub lic as the projector and manager of the system of communi cation called " Watson's Telegraph," appeared before the court, in Basinghall-street, on Thursday, on his final exami nation. His debts he stated to be £5,132, and his assests about £56. It. appeats his liabilities were for the most part contracted under the arrangements he made for that project, and, not receiving the sum he expected to he paid by parties connected with him in his undertaking, he was obliged to raise money at the rate of 50 per cent. to meet his engage ments, which he said, " had eaten him up." He expected a•fortune through his wife, who, he was sure, would meet his creditors with more favourable prospects than he could at present. After some further examination, he was adjourned for three weeks, to allow time for the amendment of his balance-sheet, which, it appears, had been improperly corn piled by his accountants. Sir C. F. Williams said if this occurred or, another occasion he should make the parties who were the cause of the adjournment pay the expenses of the sitting. g9t)itlping iittelltgrnrt TUESDAY, JANUABY U.—Wind W. moderate.

Wheat, qrs. - £l5BB 17s 6d..... £2 7s 6c Oats Barley LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 17. The demand for Cotton to-day has again been exceedingly moderate, and barely 2000 bales have been sold, at prices not quite equal to those obtained yesterday. The quantity offer ing is too heavy to keep the market steady with so moderate a demand. LIVERPOOL HAY AND P,OTATOE MARKET, JANUARY 19. 1843. During the last two days the supply of Potatoes both from the Isle of Man, Scotland and Ireland. is to a !Air extent, for which there is a good demand both in retail at the quays and for reship ment; the old stocks having been pretty well cleared off during the late stormy weather, and which also enabled sellers to establish an advance of from 2d to 3d per bushel over our last quotations. The market this morning is more depressed, and holders evince much anxiety to press sales, and the current price now is for the best descriptions 13id to 14d per gOlbs. The prices of agricultural produce in our local markets remain much the same as last week, as will be seen by the following quo tations. Potatoes Tilb. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

The tendency to improvement in the -leading markets o this district towards the close of last week, was expected to have imparted a better tone to the Wheat trade at our Corn Exchange this morning ; but influenced by the languor and depression in Mark-lane yesterday, those expectations have been reversed, and we have to note a dull sale for all descrip tions of duty paid foreign Wheat ; fine qualities, however, continued to be held with a tolerable degree of firmness, at the full rates of last week, and it was in few instances only that any change in value was observable. Of home grown Wheat, samples were rather more plenti ful than of late, and such maintained former prices ; but Irish, notwithstanding the short supply at hand, was the turn cheaper. English and Irish Flour, being generally in good repute, met a fair demand, and realised is per sack over the currency of Tuesday last ; States and Canadian, on the con trary, sold rather less freely, at 27s to 28s per barrel. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule, in all respects, the same as on Friday. Oats and Oatmeal, although in limited request, were not pressed for sale, but held steadily at our quotations, which rather exceed those of this day week. LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY.
