ENGLAND'S GOOD NAME.—Our late proceedings in Greece have induced foreign nations to make a little alters ation in our national nickname, by adding a letter to it.

" OVER HOURS' versus WANT OF WORAL—Suppose that in the erecting of a new church (or any other public building) there are employed, in the whole of the branches, 100 men ; if these hundred men work only one hour per day each " over time," they do the work which would employ ten more men—who, being prevented by this system from obtaining employment, are compelled to apply for parish relief or tramp about the country. Now than, if we take into account all the building and public works which go on in this country where " over hours" are made, what a great number of these tens of men shall we have who are receiving parish relief, or who are travel ling in a looe.and disorderly way about the country in stead of having their share of labour, and the remunera tion which would follow that labour. Those employed, too, are of course sooner discharged. As for the master, he pays the workman as much for the eleventh hour as he does for any other hour of the day ; but it is impossible - for any man who works at a laborious trade to do as much work in the eleventh hour as he can in any one of the others. Therefore I think it is quite clear that " over hours" are no benefit to the masters. My intention' in writing to you isle direct attention to the injustice and the evil effects of this system, and to call upon masters to get rid of it for ever in this country, by simply giving it up.—The Budder. DE QUINCEY.—Thomas De Quinces , is the son of a • Liverpool merchant. While studying at Oxford he fled to London. There he underwent a series of surprising adventures and severe sufferings, which he has recounted in the first part of his Opium Confessions. On the occa sion, while on the point of death by starvation, his life ' was saved by the intervention of a poor street-stroller, Of whom he afterwards lost sight, but whom, in the strong gratitude of his heart, he would pursue into the central darkness of a London brothel, or into the deeper dark ness of the grave. Part of the 'same dare period of his life was spent in Wales, where he subsisted now on the hospitality of the country people, and now, poor fellow, on hips and haWs. He was at last found out by some'of his friends,,and remanded to Oxford. There he formed an acquaintance with Christopher North, which has con tinued unimpaired to this hour. Both, besides the band of kindred genius, had that of profound admiration,then a rare 'feeling, for the p oe t r y o f W o rdsworth. n the course of this part of his life he visited Ireland, and was introduced,' soon afterwards to opium, fatal friend, — treacherous ally, root of thit tree called wormwood, which has overshadowed all his after life. A blank here occurs in his history. We find him next in a small white elt tage in Cumberland, married, studying Kant, drinking laudanum, and dreaming the most wild and wonderous dreams which ever crossed the brain of mortal. These dreams he recorded in the London Magazine, then a powerful periodical, conducted by John Scott, and sup ported by such' men a* Hazlitt, Reynolds, and Allen Cunningham. The 'Confessions, when published sepa rately, ran like wildfire, although, from their anonymops form, they added nothing at the time to the author's fame. Not long after their publication Mr. De QUincey came down 'to Scotland, where he has continued, to reside, wandering from place to place, contributing to periodic ls of all sorts and sizes—to Blackwood, Tait, North British Review, Hope's Weekly Instructor. as well as writing for the Encyclopmdia Britannica, and publishing one or two independent works, such as Klosterheim, a tale, and the Logic of Political Economy. His wife has been ldng dead. Three of his daughters, amiable and excellent persons, live in the sweet village of Lasswade, in the neighbourhood of Ed'inbnrgh, and there he is, we believe, at present, himself.—Atlas. WONDERS OF THE WATER SPIDER'S DIVING BELL. — Who has not seen, or is it not curious to behold, that lion of the Polytechnic, the diving bell? Now those who, for lack of opportunity, are among the latter, may see a diving 'bell in minature by repaiiing to the brink of some run e-tine stream, canal (provided ifbe not stagnant), in the 'neighbourhood of London or elsewhere. There theyenay perceive, shining through'the water, a little globe, appa rently of silver, which surrounds, as with a garment, the body of a diving spider, Whose submerged habitation and curious economy have been described, as follows, by dif ferent observers. These^spiders, says De Geer, spin in the water a cell of strong, closely-woven white silk, in the form of a diving bell, or half a pigeon's egg. • This is sometimes quite submerged, at others partly above the 'water, and is always attached to so me o bj ec ts near it by a number of irregular threads. 'lt is closed all round, but has a large opening below; which, however, I found closed on the 15th of December, and the spider living • quietly within, with her head downwards. I made a rent in this cell, and expelled the air, upon which the spider , came out; yet, although she appeared to have been laid I up for three months in her winter quarters, she greedily seized on and sucked an insect. The male, as well as the female, constructs a similar subaqueous cell, and daring sutnmer as well as winter. 'One of these spiders wasliept by Mr. Rennie several months in a glass of water, where it built a cell half submerged, in which it laid its eggs. These were enclosed in bags of yellow silk, and are batched in summer.' 'But it is in the pages of Kirby and 'Seen& that we find the habitations and habits of this amphibious -architect most strikingly and pleasantly described. Her abode (say they) builtin water and formed of air, is con 'structed on philosophic principles, and consists of a sub. aqueous, yet dry apartment, in which, like a mermaid or s sea-nymph, she resides in comfort. Loose threads, attached in various 'directions to the leaves of aquatic plants; form the framework of her chamber. Over these she spreads a transparent elastic varnish, like liquid glass, which issues from the 'middle of her spinners ; next ehe spreads over her belly a pellicle of the same material, and ascends to the surface to inhale and carry down a supply of atmospheric fluid. 'Head downwards, and with her body, all but the spinneret still submerged, our diver by the process which does not seem precisely ascertained, introduces a bubble of air beneath the pellicle which sur rounds her. Clothed in-this aerial mantle, which to the spectator seems formed of resplendent quicksilver, she then plunges to the bottom, and, with as much dexterity as a chemist.transfers gas with a gasholder, introduces her' bubble of air beneath the-roof prepared for its reception ; this inanceuvre is ten or twelve times repeated, and when she has transported sufficient air to expand her apartment to its intended extent, she-possesses an aerial edifice, an enchanted palace, where, unmoved by storms, she devours her prey at ease.—Episode-of Insect Life. NOCTURNAL LIFE OF ANIMALS.—A NIGHT ON THE APURE.—BeIow the mission of Santa Barbara de Arichuna we passed the night as usual, in the open air, on a sandy flat, on the banks of the Apure, skirted by the impene trable forest. We had some difficulty in finding dry wood to kindle the fires with which it is berecestomary to sur round the bivouac, as a safeguard against the attacks of the jaguar. The air was bland and soft, and the moon shone brightly. Several crocodiles approached the bank, and I have observed that fire attracts these creatures, as it does our crabs and many other aquatic animals. The oars of our'boats were fixed upright in the ground to sup port our hammocks. Deep stillness prevailed, only'bro ken at intervals by the blowing of the fresh-water dol phins. After eleven o'clock such a noise began in the contiguous forest, that for the remainder of the night all sleep *was impossible. The wild cries of animals rung through the woods. - Among the many voices which re-, sounded together the Indians could only recognise those which, after short pauses, were heard singly. There was the monotonous plaintive cry of the aluates (howling mon keys), the whining, flute-like notes of the small sapaious, the grunting murmur of the striped nocturnal ape (Nyc s tipithecus trivirgatus, which I was the first to describe), the fitful roar of the great tiger, the cuguar or manelesa American lion, the peccary, the sloth, and a host of par rots, parraquas (Ortalides), and other pheasant-like birds. Whenever the tigers approached the edge of the forest, our dog, who before had barked incessantly, came howl ing to seek protection under the hammocks. Sometimes the cry of the tiger resounded from the branches of a tree,' and was then always accompanied by the plaintive piping tones of the apes, who were endeavouring to escape from the unwonted pursuit. If one asks the Indians why such a continuous noise is heard on certain nights, they answer with a smile, that " the animals are rejoicing in the beau tiful moonlight, and celebrating the return of the 'full moon." ' To me, the scene appeared rather to be owing to an accidental, long-continued, and gradually-increas ing conflict among the animals. Thus, for instance, the jaguar will pursue the peccaries and the tnpirs, which, densely crowded together, burst through the barrier of tree-like shrubs which opposes their flight. Terrified at the confusion, the monkeys on the tops of the trees join their cries with those of the larger animals. This arouses the tribes of birds who build their nests in communities, and suddenly the whole animal world is in a state of com motion. Further experience taught us that it was by no means always the festival of moonlight that disturbed the stillness of the forest, for we observed the:, the voices were loudest during violent storms of rain, or when the than-, der echoed and the lightning flashed through the depths' of the woods. The good-natured Franciscan monk who , (notwithstanding the fever from which he had been suf fering for many months) accompanied us through the ca taracts of Atures and Maypures to San Carlos, on the Rio Negro, and to the Brazilian coast, used to say, when ap prehensive of a storm at night. " May Heaven grant a quiet night both to us and the wild beasts of the forest !" —Humboldt's" Views of Nature. LATEST DATES AT LIVERPOOL, MAY 19. Direct. Indirect Direct. Indirect. -- Australia ..

At our Exchange to-day there is but little inclination for bu siness.' If there be any alteration in the value of Wheat and Flour it is in favour of the buyer, but we do not vary the quota tions of our last.

The trade since this day se'nnight has continued to maintain a firm aspect,tfit the temperature having within the last two days become milder, with a few slight showers of rain, dealers have purchased with the utmost caution, and the most trifling amendment upon our last quotations was paid reluctantly. We had a fair show of English Wheat at our Corn Exchange to day, which met a languid sale, and an attempt to advance the price was unsuccessful; consequently we repeat our last quo tatione.

The supply of Wheat from the farmers to this day's market was leis than last week, and the arrivals Coastwise are only to a limited extent, while from abroad the quantity up this morn ing does' not exeeed 2000 qrs. for the week. Owing to the decline in Wakefield yesterday, and dull report from Mark lane, the demand was not so active as of late, still a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices may be quoted much about the same as on this day se'nnight. For Grinding Batley there is a good demand at an advance of 6d. to Is. per qr." No alteration in the value of White Peas. Beans of good quality bring Is. per 9r. more money, and in request.

MAY 17 The accounts received on Monday last by the steamer from New York, although corroborative of previous statements as to the backwardness of the growing crop, produced scarcely any effect upon prices here. The demand, however, continues good, and fair to good qualities of American and Surat com mand higher rates. Brazil and Egyptian are also rather dearer. Speculators have taken 8,000 American, 20 Pernam, 40 Bahia, 550 Egyptian and 5,820 Surat, and Exporters 2,380 American, 50 Bahia and 370 Surat.

STATE OF TRADE. .111 A NCIVESTER.—There has been little or no change in this market, which has continued • entirely without animation throughout the week, notwithstanding the universally unfa vourable advices regarding Cotton—wether as respects the present or future supply—which the latest American steamers have brought. The market has been uninterruptedly quiet, both as regards Goods and Yarns, but more especially in the former. Prices have been very firmly maintained, so much so that advances are asked in most instances. In Yarns alone, however, can we report that the tendency is really upward. In them some advantage has been gained, but for Cloth this can hardly be said to have been the case, and, in fact, in ex ceptional cases, some concession has been made. To-day, as well as yesterday, there was more inquiry from the Greek houses, and purchases, to some extent, have been made at an advance upon the rates accepted previously. • Rom' DALE.—Market dull and inactive, and prices stationary. Wool has undergone little change, and manufacturers buy spat ingly. HALIFAX.—Worsted trade steady, but by no means ani mated, and no alteration in prices. The demand for Yarn is pretty much the same. Wool market quiet, and the staplers are free sellers at late rates. LEEDS.—The woollen trade, so far as actual sales are con cerned, has been rather slack this week. The manufacturers, however, are well employed, and are looking for higher prices. Stocks generally are light. lIKADFORD.—More is doingby all kinds of merchants, both borne trade and export, and during the week large sales have been made, and orders given, extending to the autumn.—The yarn trade continues to be lively, and for finer numbers the supply is not equal to the demand. The prices which colonial wools•are commanding have tended to deter the spinners from , producing yarns made from it. In other kinds the demand is' also very satisfactory, and a general opinion is prevailing, that we shall, ere long, see prices higher.—There has been more in quiry for fine qualities of combing wools, and of which the mar ket is not abundantly supplied, and prices are firm. Noils and brokes are not so plentiful as they were a short time back, and prices are inclining upwards. LEICESTER.—Trade for the home markets continues very quiet and. dull, consequently, if it were not for the export trade, which is now active, there would in all likelihood be a sensible scarcity of employment. The wool markets continue depressed, while cotton remains firm with a tendency upwards, which tends prejudicially to the interests of thu manufacturers. NOTTINGHANI. LACE. —We have not experienced any amendment, in our business since our last report,—taking all descriptions of goods into account there seems even to be a falling off of sales rather than an increase. Cotton Yarn is still very high, and some spinners are contemplating making a further .advance in their prices. HOSIERY.—We have some very fair orders for the American markess, but the home trade is in a most depressed state. The strike on the part of the Glove hands still continues without a prospect of any imme diate settlement,—the demand for the season being already supplied. There is very little Cotton Yarn selling, although it is probable a further advance may take place, in consequence of increased prices beingasked for the raw material in Liverpool LONDON GAZETTE.-TUESDAY, MAY 14.

Continent, with a limited portion of other Grain thence, and 5,748 sacks of French Flour: the American States during the same time furnish merely, 2,472 brls. 'of Flour, and 9,100 qrs. Indian Corn, the export of the latter to Ireland amounting to 13,111 qrs. ; whilst the supplies of English and Irish produce continue light. With a change of wind, the weather to-day is much more genial than of late, and we have had much less business doing generally at our market to-day . ; speculation, therefore, has entirely subsided, and the transactions in Wheat have been only moderate for consumption, the prices ruling with little variation from the advanced rates of Friday. The, Floor trade was also less active, but in no respect lower. Barley was held on rather higher terms. Malt supported late prices. Beans the turn dearer. Pease unaltered. Oats, upon a moderate demand, were Id.klearer.than on this day week, and Oatmeal fully supported the advance which took place at the close of the week, the top price to-day being 225. per load.. Indian Corn was 2s. per qr. dearer in the 'course of the week, but with rather less business doing to-day. • CORN EXCHANGE, MAT 17. Although most of the accounts received within the last few days from various parts of the United Kingdom still complain of harsh weather, and unusual lateness of the coming crops, the English markets seem at present less excitable than last week; and notwithstanding the trade, generally speaking,, is reported firm, buyers appear rather cautious in following up the late advance. In the leading markets of Scotland the prices of most kinds of grain were quoted higher early in the week, but the trade at Leith and Glasgow becoming less active on Wednesday, no further improvement in the value of Wheat was then obtain able. Ireland, from the lamentable diminution of its native pro duce, will necessarily remain to a very serious extent depend ent for breadstaffsupon extraneous support, and prices rule, as they now are, relatively higher than in this country until harvest. During the interval from Tnesday to the close of yesterday the trade here has been rather buoyant. In Wheat and Indian Corn upon the spot, a fair amount of business was transacted on the full terms last noted, and several cargoes of both, float , ing and for shipment hither from abroad, changed hands. Of Grain, Floer, and Oatmeal,•the supplies-received into this port since Monday last are altogether perfectly insignificant. :Influenced by a return of fine mild •weather, and a slender attendance of country millers. less animation was displayed in the Wheat trade at our Market this morning than on the pre vious days of the week : the operations in any description :of this grain for consumption, being moderate only, and but a few parcels taken for investment: holders nevertheless remained equally firm as before, and the currency of Tuesday therefore was fully maintained.—Of prime fresh American flour very little appeared for sale, and such may be considered the turn dearer; the lower qualities of States, as well as all kinds of French and Irish, moving slowly at late prices. Barley and Malt, upon a moderate demand, remained un altered in value.—fin the general returns of English and Foreign Beans we have no.change to note, •wbilst Egyptian were held steadily at 6d. per qr. advance.—Oats, although liot readily saleable, slightly improved in value; and Oatmeal was 6d. per load dearer. - _ _ _ Having no fresh arrivals of Indian Corn, direct from abroad, and the export to •Ireland amountingito 9,784 qrs. within the last three days, the demand continued unabated, and this morning 6d. per qr.-over the annexed quotations was realised.
