DYING FOR LOVE.—Among the wonders of the times we find it recorded, says the Nashville Whig, that a certain " Dr. Conyers dissected a person who died for love in London, and found an impression of a lady's face upon his heart." This beats animal magnetism. Forty thousand emigrants were sent out to New South Wales last year, at a cost to the Colonial Government of £900,000. In future the average number of emigrants to that colony is to be limited to 10,000, a n d to Van Dieman's Land, £1,500. AN EFFECTUAL PREVENTIVe. — There exists in some parts of Germany a law to prevent drinking during divine service. It runs thus ;—" Any person drinking in an ale-house during divine service on Sunday, or other holiday, may legally de part without paying." Advicas from Belfast mention the suspension of payment of Messrs. Carell and Sons, manufacturers of that place. It is supposed that only time is required to enable them to meet their liabilities. CORDAGE AND OAKUM.—By a return moved for by Sir Howard Douglas, M.P., the total quantity of foreign cordage and caNes imported during the year ended the sth of January, 1841, was 5092 cwt. ; and the total quantity of oakum so im ported 13,271 cwt.

A WOMAN TOSSED BY A Cow.—On Wednesday last, as a young woman of the name of Alice Foulk, who lives at the Old Park, near the Oaken Gates, was going with a pail under her arm towards a part of the farm yard of Mr. Bournes, of Oaken Gates, near Wombridge, where a cow that was rather wild was kept, by some chance she went too near, and the animal made a plunge at her and threw her up into the air with the pail under her ann. Fortunately, though much hurt, she is likely to recover.—Salopian Journal. An extensive seizure was made on Wednesday by the officers of customs. on board a vessel in the Thames. The cargo, at first sight, appeared to consist of tierces of beef and other articles, but it was soon discovered that, instead of beef, the casks (forty in number) contained bags of snuff, closely packed, the contents of each cask weighing upwards of 31 cwt., the duty upon which would have amounted to nearly £5OOO. The goods were removed to the custom house stores. The London Courier newspaper is advertised for sale. Mr. George Robins is the auctioneer, who says in the advertise ment that the " retrograde march" of the Courier is owing " to its having in an evil hour been tempted to advocate those political (liberal) principles that fortunately now are very much out of fashion." FREE TRADE BEEF.—About a fortnight ago, a young gentleman at Pendleton lost a fine young well-bred horse by accident. The animal was bought by a person at Eccles, where it was cut up w ith a little skill, salted, and sold in Manchester for free-trade, or South American, beef at 4d. per lb. CURIOSITY DISAGREEABLY GRATIFIED.—Two females applied for admission to the Crown Court at the Gloucester assizes, one of them remarking that she had never seen a trial, and wished to have an opportunity of doing so. She had not been present long before she was recognised by a policeman as a person who was charged with a robbery at Cheltenham. She was immediately apprehended, a bill was found against her, and her curiosity to be present at a trial was gratified to a greater extent than was agreeable, she being the party tried, and being sentenced to six months' imprisonment. RIOT AT WlGAN.—Great distress has for some time pre vailed in the town of Wigan, and particularly among that unfortunate class of operatives the handloom weavers, who, in consequence of the introduction of power looms, or some other cause, are unable, when in work, at 14 hours per day, to earn more than from 4s• to 7s. per week. Many thou sands of these wretched people, scattered throughout the ma nufacturing district, are wholly destitute of the means of' subsistence, excepting the relief so niggardly doled out by poor law guardians, who cannot, legally, afford them any out-door relief whatever. Groups of hundreds of these poor men and their families are continually parading the streets, craving charity. On Thursday last they assembled in un usually large numbers, in Wigan, and about six hundred of them went in a body to the board room, where the guardians of the Wigan union were sitting, and there demanded instant relief. This was denied, and they were ordered to leave the premises, upon which they rushed towards the :board-room, demanding " Food or death, " and took possession of it. The guardians were put to flight, and the police were sent for, but they were unable to disperse the mob. Upon this, the authorities, fearing for the peace of the town, held a consultation, when it was determined to send for the mili tary from the barracks, who speedily arrived under the di rections of the Mayor. They were two companies of the 60th Rifles, who drew up in front of the mob. The officer in command civily but firmly desired the mob to disperse on pain of consequences, which they ultimately did without resorting to violence. Placards have since appeared upon the walls, headed " Bread v. Steel," calling a public meeting to take into consideration the best means of satisfying the immediate wants of these starving people. INCENDIARY FIRES.—On Wednesday information was received in London of several incendiary fires—the work of incendiaries. The first consumed the farming premises belonging to a gentleman near Hucking, West Kent. The loss is estimated at several hundred pounds.—Another took place on the estate of the Rev. W. Dansey, Danhead, Wiltshire, whereby two large barns, a granary, stables, cow and cart-house, and other buildings, have been de stroyed.—A third consumed the premises of Messrs. Tas ker and Co., timber merchants, at Andover.—A fourth oc curred at Havant, near Chichester, which destroyed two granaries and two dwelling-houses. UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.—PUGILISM. — The follow ing notice was issued on Monday last by the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge :—" Whereas it has been represented to the vice-chancellor that some students of the university have lately resorted to a professed teacher of the art of boxing, contrary to the good order arid discipline of the university; we, the vice-chancellor and heads of colleges, whose names are underwritten, hereby order and decree that it any person in statu pupillari be hereafter found resorting to or having any communication whatever with any such teacher of the art of boxing, or be found attending any prize-fight, he shall i be liable to the punishment of suspension, rustication, or expulsion, as the case shall appear to the vice-chancellor and heads of colleges to require." (Signed by the vice-chan cellor and masters.) The neighbourhood of Saunderscourt, Newcastle, and all that part of the country along the side of the Slanev down to the Bridge of Deeps, has been in the greatest and most alarming state of excitement for the last ten days, in conse quence of the number of mad dogs now prowling about and attacking every animal in their course. The first appearance of the kind took place in the early part of this month, when a dog from the Deeps ran through the neighbourhood of Kilown, where he attacked two or three dogs ane a calf be longing to Mr. Paul Walker; three dogs and two heifers of Mr. Thacker's ; and two dogs of Mr. Richard Bennett's, Newcastle; also a lamb of Mr. Paul M'Donnell's, Ferricar- SUSPECTED MURDER.—MERTHYR, APRIL 24.—The ma- rig, most of which have since been destroyed.

He dandled his child on his knees during the time ; and, on going back to his work, the little credtire followed him to the door. The mother told her husband to pick her up and kiss her , wh ich he did ; and it must have been soon after his departure that the unhappy creature destroyed it. She immediately posted to a neigh bour, a quarter of a mile from the house, and narrated the particulars of her crime, and was soon afterwards apprehended at Penrose. Since her apprehension, up to the time of her being conveyed to the county jail on llonday evening, she was exceedingly violent and outrageous, but did not make the least allusion to her child. An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of wilful murder returned against Maria Hughes. The wretched woman was forthwith conveyed to Monmouth jail. THE ROYAL MASQUE.—Her Majesty's " Masque" still continues to be the ruling topic. Her Majesty has signified her gracious permission that each fair leader of fashion should bring her own baronial court to pay liege homage to Edward and Phillippa, and in the costume of such epoch as best may suit themselves, their sworn knights and dames The most remarkable addition to the splendour of the pageant on the 12th of May will be the Court of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. Her Royal Highness, with cha racteristic good taste, has adopted the character of Anne de Bretagne. The costume of this Princess is the most beau tiful, and is preserved in many illuminated volumes with all its original grace and splendour and the minutest detail, this celebrated beauty having brought the largest province of France as an accession to the French crown, and married successively two sovereigns of that great country. The cos tume belongs, besides, to one of the most splended and and chivalric period of French annals. Fifty followers ate to accompany Her Royal Highness, most of them wearing the costumes of the great dignitaries of the Court of Charles VIII. and his successor. We do not know what costume her Royal Higness's consort will wear, but the character of the stalwart, chivalric knight and kind-hearted sovereign, Louis XII, would well befit him, not only in the superfices, but in the moral similarity of disposition and habits. Amongst the cortege of her Royal Highness will be formed four complete quadrilles—French, German, Spanish and Italian. We hear that their Excellences the French Ambas sador and Ambassadress have joined with her Royal High ness, and, no doubt, will contribute to uphold the memory of one of the noblest Royal dames that ever bore the sceptre of St. Louis. The Countess of Jersey, we hear, is to wear the costume which the great Medici, by the ascendancy of their taste and their power, rendered so much a vogue in past ages, and which bears the stamp of the classic source from which it flowed. All these arrangements would, how• ever, lose their charm if, from the very outset, the Royal mummers were mixed. It is, therefore, expected that each party will rendezvous at ;some given point, and thus pro ceed to the " Masque." It is therefore expected, we repeat that Her Majesty, seated under a canopy, will receive the ' bright squadrons with their seperate cognizances as they I arrive, and that these, as soon as they have paid their obei sances to Royalty, will file off right and left, to raised seats in the Presence Chamber, and in their turn become specta tors, after being actors in the mimic scene—until, at last, the brilliant assemblage being complete, the quadrilles, under their seperate leaders, will once more occupy the floor. Be sides this, younger ladies of high rank are organizing quad rilles, of which each of the partners is to wear some uniform peculiar dress. We never knew curiosity in matters of pleasure more intensely excited. This projected (and now determined)fete has been received by all classes with general acclamation, ministering, as it will, not only to the pleasures of the great but to the resources of the industrious.—Morn ing Post. THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—The health of Queen Adelaide. we are concerned to announce, precludes the possibility of her venturing out of doors at present. Her Majesty has been confined to .Marlborough House since her return to London, and it is gratifying to notice the affectionate atten tions of her royal relatives, who, without exception, are con stant in their visits to the august patient. Her Majesty em ploys her leisure in works of charity, and it was only the other day that she sent for the Lady Mayoress, and presented her with a handsome assortment of articles for the charitable bazaar held on Wednesday and Thursd a y at the Egyptian Hall, many of which having been worked by her Majesty's own hands, possess a value for purchasers which neither cost of material nor nicety of workmanship could bestow. Her Majesty has been advised to try the air of the south of De vonshire, and will, we are informed, select a residence for her delicate frame this purpose during the ensuing autumn. The voyage across the channel, it is feared, 6 sidered the most de' months. would prove too severe desirable the south of France is recommended by her physicians.

H umann, the Minister of Finance, had died suddenly that morning. On inquiry the intelligence proved to be true, the unfortu nate gentleman having been struck with an apoplectic fit, which proved instantly fatal. M. Humann had been slightly indisposed for some days, and on Sunday his medical attend ant thought proper to bleed him, but none of his friends or family had any serious cause to be alarmed, and the blow which has fallen was as sudden as unexpected. It must be admitted that he was an able Minister, and none but a man of his talent and energy could have carried the finances of France so well through the crisis occasioned by the Thiers a..,roinistration. Indeed, his loss will be severely felt; and it ;s possible that the plan, now before the Chambers, of esta blishing a general system of railroads, will have to be laid 3':''' • for the present.

The military consisted chiefly of volunteers into the regiments under orders for India, and some of the 4th and 9th Light Dragoons, and 78th Highlanders. Some of the party are to have a hearing before the magistrates. It was only the night previous that Corsets Morgan and Dixon, of the 9th Lancers, wantonly and brutally assaulted a pot-boy named Gregory, broke his whip, bit his finger in a horrid manner, and other wise maltreated him, for which they were had before the magistrates._ THE GREAT FIGHT FOR £3OO A SlDE.—This contest, which has excited such interest in the sporting world, and upon which bets to an enormous amount have been pending, was decided on Wednesday in favour of Broome, who, from his frequent victories, had become the champion of what is technically termed the " like weights." He is a fine scien tific fighter, of great muscular power and stamina. His op ponent, an Australian, named Bungaree, is also a man of great strength, and, for a foreigner, possesses much know ledge of sparring and the tactics of the ring. Both men for the last few weeks have been in active training in the subur ban districts of the metropolis, under the most experienced professors, and their condition was considered by the best judges to be first-rate. The Australian, from being compa ratively unknown to the " fancy," did not meet with so many backers as his opponent, but, nevertheless, he obtained con siderable patronage from some of the principal supporters of the prize-ring, as he was reported to have fought several well-contested battles, and to possess the most determined courage. The odds on Friday and Saturday last at the sporting houses were 6 and 7 to 4 on Johnny Broome, and, notwithstanding this confidence, there were plenty of takers among the London fancy. According to the articles of the match, it was arranged that the fight should come off within 20 miles of Newmarket, and it was generally understood the I ring would be formed on the six mile bottom, the favoured resort of boxers in the palmy days of pugilism, and where, among other celebrated battles, the fight between Gully and H. Pearce, at that period known by the cognomen of the " Game Chicken," was contested. The combatants and their friends experienced very great difficulty in obtaining a site for the erection of a ring; but after one had been formed, a desperate struggle ensued, which lasted for an hour and a half, when Broome, amidst the tremendous cheering of his partisans, was declared the victor. Our correspondent was unable to ascertain the number of rounds, but was informed that both men were much punished, and the fight in the opi nion of the cognoscenti was of the first description. VAN AMBURGII AND HIS LIONS AT DOVER.—FATAL OC CURRENCE.—On the morning of Monday last, an accident, which was attended with fatal results to a fine young man named Pratt, and which had well-nigh terminated in still more serious consequences, occurred at Lock-hill-lane, a short distance from the town of Dover. It appears that Van Amburgh, who had been performing with his lions at Dover, had given directions to the above unfortunate youth to pro. ceed with the van that contained the lions, together with an immense elephant, to Folkestone, about fourteen miles from Dover, where a fair was that day to be held. On proceeding down Folkestone hill, which is rather steep, Pratt imprudently neglected to lock the wheel of the van, and before he had gained many yards the vehicle began to proceed with great rapidity, throwing the weight of it on the backs of the shaft horses, who fell underneath its ponderous mass. This, how ever, fortunately had the effect of turning the van partial l y round across the road, when the poll struck against the op posite wall dashing the former to atoms and seriously damag - ing the latter. Several persons rushed to the aid of the poor driver, whom they found lying in the road with life quite ex tinct, the wheels of the van having passed over him. The horses miraculously escaped almost unhurt, and the van re ceived comparatively trifling injury. Had not the van been turned round in so providential a manner in decending the hill, it would most probably have come in contact withlthe wall at its base, and by the impetus given to it it would no doubt have been dashed to pieces, and thus have given liberty to the animals inside, which in all probability would have been productive of much mischief. A SUCCESSFUL CHASE.—The following details are given relative to a person who had absconded from Paris with 200,000 francs, and was arested at Vienna, after passing through Ratisbon :—lt is stated that he was a banker or mer chant, named W—, who left Paris for Meaux on the 18th ult., to meet the Strasburg mail, in which he had engaged a place by the name of Reutter. On the day be fore his departure, his partners, en commandite, had placed in his hands 24,0 00 francs to meet bills whi c h were com ing due. When his flight became known, his creditors, who had made him a bankrupt, in the hope of disco ver i ng the direction he had taken, opened a letter that cam e t o hi s address, and found it to be from his mistress, promising to meet him at Rotterdam, and thence cross over with him to England. Upon this one of the creditors set off for Lon don, and another for Frankfort, thinking that the fugitive might either go to America or to the north of Europe. Being made acquainted with the exposure of the abovementioned letter, and convinced that he would be followed to London, he, with the lady, took the road to Frankfort. The person who went to Frankfort, immediately on arriving there, tket in spected the registers kept at t he hotels of the travellers wh o o s t f o a p t ik. there, and and Madamefo un d a co n llCollin, v‘h entry, hado that handwriting of W—, day taken their departure for Aschaffenburg, and followed i them there. ‘ At this place they assumed the names of M. and Madame became , ... by which they went on to Wurzburg, where they d the name of Collin and and Madame Reutter. Hence they were traced capital their pursuer arrived to Durand,Ratisbon, assistance ' four hours after them. Having obtained the of passed on to the police, the bankrupt and his companion were soon disco- I,ie where ona . they At r t e h s i u s m e e a p i vered at one of the principal hotels.

SECOND JDiTIO ' Standard-office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY. 1 (From Messrs. B. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) Upon Foreign Wheat the duty is reduced to 275. Bd. per quarter, on Flour to 16s. ild. per barrel, and increased on Pease to 245. 3d. per quarter, being the only change in the import rates from those last noted. Of English, Irish, and Foreign produce, the arrivals fresh in for to-day are altogether - inconsiderable, as will be ob served on reference to the particulars subjoined. The New Corn Bill, requiring the royal assent, continues to hold the trade in suspense, and tending to delay all active business, no transactions, at all deserving remark, have oc curred during the intermediate period from onr report of Tuesday last up to the present date. The general character of the trade this morning was main ly a counterpart of that contained in the preceding report ; all descriptions of free Wheats being very difficult to sell ; even the best qualities scarcely retaining our last quotations, whilst other kinds were the turn cheaper. English, Irish and foreign duty paid Flour likewise continued to meet a slow lingering sale, but without any material change in value. The bonded market being equally dull, a few hundred bar rels of States Flour at 28s. per brl., and about 200 qrs. of Ancona Wheat at 6s. 11d. per 70Ibs. on the spot, forming the only transactions in this branch of the trade since Tuesday. Upon a limited supply of Barley at hand, that article, as well as Malt, supported late prices. . . _ Beans and Pease, attracting very little notice, barely main tained our last currency. _ Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country demand, were taken off very sparingly, and had sales been pressed, rather lower terms must have been conceded.

The sales of the week are comparatively small, say 19,990 bales, of which speculators have taken 2,000 American, and exporters 1700 of various descriptions. As regards prices, we consider the lower descriptions of Ameri can Cotton id. down since this day week, whilst the better classes, and also Brazils, are more enquired for, and fully maintain previous rates.

MILITARY INLELLIGENCE.—THE NEW APPOINTMENTS —The Gazette of Tuesday night states that the follo win g military appointment s h ave b en made :—His Royal High ness Prince Albert succeeds to the colonelcy of the 3d regi ment of Scots fusilier guards, vacant by the demise of the Earl of Ludlow • Lieut.-general Sir Arthur B. Clifton, K.C.B. and K.C.H., 17th lancers, i s a ppointed to the 11th hussars, vice his Royal Highness Prince Albert; his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge goes to the 17th lan cers, vice Clifton ; Lieut.-general Sir J. Stevenson Barns, K.C.8., is appointed to the colonelcy of the 20th regiment of foot, vacant by the decease of General Sir Wm. Houstoun; Lieut.-general Sir A. Woodford, K.C.B. and G.C.M.G., governor of Gibraltar, to the 40th regiment, vacant by the decease of Lieut.-general Sir Lionel Smith ; and Lieut.- general Sir Dugald Little Gilman, K.C.8., succeeds to the appointment of second colonel commandant of the rifle bri gade, vice Sir J. S. Barns. The body of a young man, named Henry Lawrence, was one day last week casually discovered suspended from a tree in Tiddesley Wood, near Pershore, being in a state of de composition, and greatly mangled by the birds ; the legs were tied, and it was evident that the unhappy man had climbed up to the branch, sat upon it while he fastened his limbs, and then, placing the rope round his neck, and affixing the other end to the branch, have thrown'himself from it. The body was immediately conveyed to the Talbot, in Pershore. The inquest was held on Thursday before C. Best, Esq., and a respectable jury, who returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased was " found banging." It appears that the unfor tunate man was from Hartill, Northamptonshire, and came into this neighbourhood soon after the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway commenced, and had been employed on the line as a plate-layer, but had lately been out of work. During his residence here he had married a young widow, who stated on the inquest that they lived on very good terms together; but the general opinion of the neighbours was quite the reverse of that, and it was known that they fre quently quarrelled. The widow said that the deceased left home in very good spirits on the 28th of February, in search of work.— Worcester Journal. The Malta Times has a circular by Mr. Warrington the British consul at Tripoli, dated March 26, addressed to the different chiefs of the interior and northern coast of Africa, representing to them the folly as well as cruelty of the slave trade, and advising them to substitute for it an active trade in the natural resources of Atrica, such as gold dust, ivory, ostrich feathers, gum, skins, indigo, &c. This circular has been translated into Arabic and profusely distributed. The petty officer of the Cambridge, who was condemned to death for the murder of a boy, was to be sent from Malta to En gland in the Weasel in a few days, the sentence being that he is to be hung on board of any British ship at the pleasure of the Admiralty. The Polyphemus left on the llth for Naples, conveying there the distinguished Hindoo the Dwarkanauth Tagore, on his way to England. Whilst in Malta this gentleman displayed great liberality in donations to the charities of the island. Some years ago an elderly gentlemen, on his way through Arundel, took advantage of a short stay at the Norfolk Arms to visit the castle. He was much pleased, as all sensible vi sitors must be, with every thing he saw, but most with the grave moping owls of the keep. But, of all the family, one had that peculiar sagacity of expression which appeared to engross the whole attention of his visitor. His horns long, and horizontally projecting from either temple; his scarlet coloured eyes, that seemed as if they had become inflamed by long-continued study ; his wings that hung loosely about him like a professor's gown ; his face, his feet, every feature, in short, seemed to say, " this is no common owl.' "He 's a sagacious fellow, this," observed the stranger. " Yes, sir," said the keeper, " we always call him the chancellor." " The what—the chancellor? " " Yes, sir, sometimes the chancellor, and sometimes Lord Eldon—he is so very wise." The stranger was highly amused at finding a namesake un der the ivy in Arundel keep, for we need scarcely add, that the visitor was, in fact, the chancellor himself, the late vene rable and learned Lord Eldon.—Beatlie's,Castles and Abbeys of England. LOVE IN A BREWING PAN.—That the course of love never will run smooth has become the almost every-day ex perience of the unfortunate victims of the ensnaring little Cupid. " Merrie Wakefield," on former occasions demon strated to the world the dangers of too blind an adherence to the ill-advised counsels of the blind god ; nevertheless, it appears that neither Wakefield or any other field ever will escape from the heart-burning and finger -burning conse quences of the tyrannies of love. Lately, a reverend gentle man of Wakefield, took it into his h ead that his house was frequented by visitors who, though more free than welcome to him, were not so to his maid-servants. He determined to make an experiment, and see whether these "testimonials of respect" were for his own or their d ea r sakes, and accord ingly informed them that he was going a journey and would not return home that night. Didn't the hearts oft his faith ful and affectionate serv an ts leap for joy, whilst ih solemn countenances they assured him they would pay every atten tion, &c. Their worthy master having got a small quantity of luggage, took his departure. In the meantime the true and faithful servants anxiously awaited the arrival of their cousins, who were punctual, as usual, to the appointed hour, or rather minute —for love thinks more of the happy minute than any other section of time. How readily did they tell their delighted swains that " master had gone out of town and wouldn't be back to- night !" We didn't exactly hear them reply that th e statemen t wa s " t o o good to be true, but as the sequel will prove, they discovered it was so exces sively good as all that. At the happy and yet fatal hour of eight, "master" cruelly determined to return home. He suddenly entered the house, and was just in time to think he saw somethin g d rop i nto a large brewing-pan in the kitchen. The reverend gentleman wagged his head, doubled up his sleeves, (laughing in them at the same time,) and said, " I think we will brew to-night." He only wanted to bre w mis chief ! The p oor f e ll ow i ns ide, bearing the brewing spoken of, thought of the mashing he would get, and was already beginning to melt from the combined effects of love and fear ! There was the consolation of thinking that she for whose sake he was thus to be dissolved in the mash-tub, would soon receive some portion of his alcoholic remains, and thereby that " they twain should become one flesh !" He quietly resigned himself to the martyrdom of the mash tub! His reverend executi oner t h en commen ced operations by p um p ng water int o th e vessel, but as th e a nimal inside was b ut i a rum fish, and couldn't swim, he jumped up ir, " heavy wet," and instantly b o lt e d . O n i nqu iry it . turned out that he was " only a friend o f t h e cook ' s. ' G uar dian. The Thaffies Tifidel is a large bricked tube, which paSges under the bed of the stream. The purpose for which it was constructed has neve: been clearly ascertained, but some highly scientific individuals have conceived that during a severe winter it is intended to be filled with boiling water, and so insure the uninterrupted navigation ceche river by pre venting an accumulation of ice. Others have imagined that it is to be converted into a powder magazine, and in case of invasion, to be used as an American torpedo and set the Thames on fire, or blow up the enemy's fleet, whilst our own men-of-war are safely anchored—in Ptid‘nedock.—Pftneh. • TIIE ARMY.—CHATHAM, APRIL 4,. —Yesterday after noon the first division of the 84th Regiment of Foot, com prising 15 sergeants, three drummers, and 358 rank and file, marched into Rochester, and was immediately quartered in the city. The 84th Regiment is from Fermay, in Ireland, which place they left on the 19th instant, and arrived at Cork on the 20th, where the regiment immediately embarked on board the Victory steamer, and disembarked at Bristol on the 21st. Thence they proceeded by railroad to Reading, and marched to Basingstoke, on their route to Winchester ; but, owing to an official order, their march was countermanded, and the regiment was ordered to proceed to Gravesend. The troops consequently proceeded by railroad from Basingstoke to London. and marched from London to Gravesend, where the second division is now billeted, the head-quarters re maining at Dartford. It is very creditable to the soldiers that during their long march they had not a single prisoner. The whole of the regiment is healthy and in excellent spirits, and are young men. The strength of the regiment is 1,060 rank and file, six of whom only are above 30 years of age. The regiment, an their leaving Ireland, were unexpectedly joined by 50 volunteers from the 89th regiment, The first division is under the command of Major Clerk, with Captain Veith, Captain Coxe, Lieutenant Mathew Casson, Lieute nant Harrison, Lieutenant Lightfoot, and Assistant-Surgeon Fox. The second division is under the command of Lieute nant Colonel Willington. The head quarters of the regiment is under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Maclean. The regiment takes out 180 women, being allowed 12 women to each company ; as many children follow also. At present there are no orders when the troops are to embark, as the names of the ships which are to convey the troops to the east are not yet known. This morning a detachnlent of the 2d Queen's marched from Chatham garrison, to embark on board the ship Lord Lynedoch. This detachment consisted 54 rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant Deshon, of the 22d regiment of Foot, bound for Bombay. RIIIIM76IM 4)l)ipplng inuittgnur. I TUESDAY. APRIL 26. — Wind South.

LiIigRPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL , 21 Only a very moderate enquiry for Cotton to-day. About 2000 bales sold at yesterday's prices; about 200 balegfaken for export, with a steady and firm feeling. COTTON MARKET, Aran Our market has very much tamed, and the demand does not exceed 3, 6 00 bales daily all to the trade, with the exception of a few hundred for export and speculation. Holders are firm, and not deterred by the expected large import, which buyers are looking forward to as likely to bring down prices. The late advance is not fully maintained, particularly in the very low descriptions. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 27. The show of stock to-day was only moderate, either of Beef or Mutton. The best Beef brought last week's rates, and prime Mutton the same. The new tariff does not appear to have affected prices as yet in this market. Best Beef 6d to dad, Mutton did to 7d. and clipped Sheep 6d per lb. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, APRIL 27.: The price of Hides, all weights above 601135, 3d per lb, Cheviots and half-bred 3s gd to 4s 6d ; large skins (Irish and Yorkshire) Is to 6s. Tallow 4s gd per stone of 141bs. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Amu 25. The supply of Cattle to-day although not so large as on this day week, the trade is nevertheless exceedingly heavy, and a reduction of prices is consequently the result, with the exception of Beef, which has scarcely varied, the quotation being from 3s 2d to 4s 4d ; Mutton, for prime sorts has declined 2d since this day week, which ranges between 3s 6d to 4s 6d. Pork, which fell on last market day about 4d, remains at 4s to 5s per stone. Veal is 4s 8d to 5s 4d, which is 4d lower than Monday last. There was a dull inquiry for Lambs, 5s 6d to 6s 4d was the price, and every article looked very dull (Per stone of Sibs, sinking the offal. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. APRIL 25. The Corn trade during last week remained very inactive both in regard to demand and fluctuation of prices. We have been but moderately supplied for some weeks past with every description of grain, our English supplies being generally confined to the home counties, and our foreign from the Baltic and Mediterranean ports. To this morning's market the arrivals are tolerably good of Eng lish Wheat, fair of Barley, and short of other descriptions of spring corn. Wheats must be quoted 9.s lower for all qualities, Barley is in moderate demand at a decline of is from this day week, and Oats are a slow sale at last week's prices; and Beans and Peas of both sorts are without alteration, with a good supply of Hog Peas fresh up. Flour remains inactive, and the Seed trade is drawing to a close for this season WEDNESUAV, April 27 The trade has been very stagnant this morning, and the prices are nominally the same as on Monday last, when Wheat was about is per quarter lower than in the preceding week. The supplies of English Wheat are abundant, but speculators are unwilling to move, in consequence of the discordant opinions on the subject of the Corn Law, which some parties assert, but probably erroneously, will lower the duty on foreign Wheat 14s per quarter on the com mencement of the law. The grain generally is much improved in quality, and the English Wheat would now command much better prices were the factors clear in their views of the new Corn Law Act. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 26. Although several English, Irish, and Foreign vessels have arrived here since Friday, the supplies of Grain fresh in . for this day's market are collectively but moderate, and of Flour and Oatmeal very inconsiderable. The New Corn Bill, having passed through the Lords, is expected to take immediate effect, which, combined with the depression in Mark Lane yesterday, and the continuance of fine, though dry weather, serve to increase the languor pre ♦iously noted ; we have accordingly to report an exceedingly dull trade this morning, for English, Irish, and all Foreign, duty paid, Wheats, and a further abatement generally, thereby reducing our quotations 2d. to 3d. per 701bs below the rates of Tuesday last. Home-made and Irish Flour hardly sustained late prices, and States, as also Canadian, declined 6d. per barrel, with a slow limited sale for all de scriptions. Ih bonded grain no transactions have been reported since Friday ; and except a few hundred barrels for export, few or none in Flour. Barley and Malt, attended with occasional sales, retained their former value. Beans and Pease remained stationary. The Oat trade having been extremely heavy, was decidedly rather lower ; and Oatmeal, being taking off sparihgly, re ceded 6d. per 2401b5.
