MARCH OF INTELLECT.—The lady of one of our trades men, a short time ago, having rung for her servant, was sur prised at her delay, and proceeding to her bed-room to ascertain the cause, to her great surprise found the girl stand ing in front of her looking glass, reciting a portion of Byron's poetry, and suiting the action to the word: — Brighton Gazette. Mr. Hawthorn has announced himself as a candidate in the conservative interest for the representation of Wigton shire. Captain Dalrymple, expecting to be thrown out by a committee, has also issued an address to the electors of that county. It is expected, in addition, that in the event of a vacancy, Sir Andrew Agnew will offer himself for the suffrages of the electors.. mighty mind, united as it was with a temperament equally calculated to wreck as to bear it to a secure harbour, from its first darkling perception of error, through all its intermediate stages, until it emerged at length into the full blaze of truth and perfect conviction to be a beacon light to point the w for all ages to come. Through such an examination Mr. Montgomery bas led us in the essay which he entitles an introduction to the poem of " Luther;" and the style in which he has executed his task is so piquant that it cannot fail to win the attention of the moat superficial reader and to tempt him, as it were, into an exa mination of the depths of the character of this extraordinary man. He has brought to his aid, too, the fruits of an exten sive reading which he has intertwined with bursts of enthu siastic description which are irresistibly pleasing. There is an occasional mannerism of style —an affectation of German mysticism extending to the verge of the unintelligible— which will somewhat detract, in the estimation of most Eng lish readers, from the delight which his poetic prose excites ; but the blemish is scarcely one which will be sensibly felt, and is, perhaps, calculated to give a freshness and originality to the thoughts which are thus set before us in an outlandish garb. We will endeavour to select a specimen or two of Mr. Montgomery's peculiar style. And, first, we have a graphic picture of Luther's mode of treating a Popish bull : " But the war is raging • ' on the one side, stands the miner's son, firm and unflinching' as granite, for the truth ; and on the other,—the Pope, the Devil, and the world, with all their primps and braveries and threats, and arts, against him ! Aid yet, listen !—how the monk will keep them all at hay ; shaking them off from him, like a storniful Boanerges, with indignant, but not ungraceful, determination. "The glory of the Pontificate is departed. The wrath of God is conic upon it for ever." "To every man lam prepared to give way in all things, BUT THE WORD OF GOD I DARE NEITHER ABANDON NOR DENY." Now this prepares us for the scene that shortly followed. The infinitely miserable and detestable bull of the Pope, having been at last promul gated by Eckius, and Luther's writing being actually burnt in various towns,—the brave Martin is determined to have a bonfire too ; and as noble a one it shall be as ever sent up its flaming appeal to the skies.—On the 10th of December an invitation is affixed to a black board for the students at Wit temberg to attend this Lutheran firework. And, lo !at nine in the morning, just as the chime is sounding, forth cometh Luther, from the Elster Gate, encircled by a goodly number of Doctors, Masters of Arts. and Students, and there !—hark to the rejoicing crackle of the flames as they demolish with burning rapidity (as if they loved their work) Canon Law, Decretals, Clementines, the Extravagants, and parts of Eckius and Emser's work. As soon as these are annihilated, forth steps Doctor Martin, holding the infamous Bull in his hand, and exclaiming aloud,—" Because thou hest grieved the saints of the Lord, so mayest thou be grieved and con demned by the everlasting fire." It must have been a heart. shaking spectacle, this egregious bonfire : one may be excused a desire to have warmed one's hands in the reflection of its blaze ; or to have taken a look at the fine, craggy, and open fronted visage of the redoubtable Doctor, when his great black eyes were glittering with fearless light, while his voice rolled its solemn intonations over the mute and admiring assembly. But that suspended breath was soon unloosed; arid what a shout went up at the conclusion of this moral jubilee !—The world is haunted with its echoes still."' We give another extract descriptive of the great reformer as he appeared within his domestic circle. It is beautifully written, and presents a pleasing contrast with the style of the orecediflZ " When we analyse the character of rh.. Roformor as a man, next to the Idealism of his nature,-- 7 we delight to re cognise the exquisite sociality of his temperament. There was no ascetisin, cant, or pharisaic airs and graces about him. He hated trick, pomposity, and pretension ; and shook from him, with a hearty'disdain, all those mean accompaniments which appertain to the mere drama of external piety, but have nothing to do with the healthful spirituality of the genuine Christian. At the fireside, in the bosom of his family, or amid the circle of attached friends,—Luther ap pears to have been the very fascination of companionship. He could laugh, and sing, and converse ; utter his witticisms, and throw forth those gleams and sparkles of innocent mirth, which the hypocrite, or mere practiser of religious pantomime, can neither admire nor understand. And then, what bursts and outbreaks of thrilling pathos, and poetic feeling, and im passioned enthusiasm were bleat with all this ! Truly, it was worth a walk of some few hundred miles to have heard Doctor Martin hold his vivid conversations with those assembled round his family board ; and there behold the same man, whose uuquailing heart had faced and fronted all the batteries of (tome, subsiding into the laughing simplicity of childhood and mirth :—after all, he has lost one of the finest elements of a feeling manhood, both id faith and character, who retains none of the child about him. " But Luther's radiant happiness arose not only from the fervour and freshness of au elastic temperament, but his very religion was the divinity of joy. He was a PARDONED man ; and felt himself to be so, on the intelligible basis of gospel truth, and therefore had (with some intermissions) ' joy and peace in believing.' With him, Christianity was not an in sulated act, a sacramental right, or an observed institute alone ;it vas far more than this,—it was a. renewal of NA TURE, evidenced by all the tangible experiences of a new life : it was Christ within—th e hope of glory.' He lived up to what he believed ; and thus, there is a spiritual ease, hearti ness, and simplicity in all the motions of this man's religious character. Religion was not put on him by imitative effort, but put into him by efficient grace. And thus the sociality of the man was not checked or chilled by the sanctity of the Christian ; but, on the contrary, expanded, purified, and en nobled by being brought into contact with it. All relations were redeemed into him in Christ and he had learned the blessed science of connecting every thing with the atonit , purchase of the Saviour's blood. As to the honesty, unworld liness, and thorough-paced integrity of Luther,—even the bitterest of his Jesuitical foes have admitted this. He never defiled himself with the Mammon of unrighteousnees ;' but lived, in the main, a poor man all his days, perpetually re fusing imperial bounties and aid. But we must not omit to remark, in this glance at Luther's private character,—how strangely, and almost mysteriously, the chords of his whole spiritual and moral being vibrated to the appeals of melody. In fact, to him, music was almost the religion of sound ; it hovered, and trembled, and played like a subtle and sub duing magic over his fine imagination, and seemed to have an effect upon his wasted mind,—akin to that which the balm, and breeze, and beauty of a rustic walk in the May time has upon a convalescent frame." The notes to the poem, which run on to upwards of 120 Pages of closely-printed matter, contain a mass of evidence and illustration of the leading features of Luther's career, as well as of the eventful time in which he lived ; and are at the present moment truly invaluable. But they are more espe cially so, on account of the authoritative form in which they bring before us those doctrines and practices of Romanism against which our great reformer so energetically protested. On thy' latter ground we recommend them to the careful Independent of the poem to whicl perusal >f every reader. they are attached, the introduction and tIK thy a place in the library of every Protestant In Our next publication we shall bring 1- the poem itself. fore our readers Since writing the above we have been favoured by a friend with the following copy of a letter addressed to him by the R ev .

THE EARTHQUAKE. — It is not generally known that an earthquake, similar that recently expected, was predicted during the administration of Sir R. Walpole. It was pro ductive of as much alarm as the anticipated catastrophe of March, 1812. When the fanatic who occasioned the disor der found that his prediction had not been verified, he assured the deluded people that it had been postoned, on account of his intercession with the Almighty. „, - ..w.i.-11.AnieAL PERSONA FLON AND PZELJU It I . - At the Deal), assizes on Wednesday eight per sons were found guilty of personation and perjury during the last election for that county, when qualifying themselves to vote for Lord Waterpark and Mr. Gisborne, the radical can didates. Where personation and perjury were combined, the ,party was sentenced to twelve mouths' imprisonment, with hard labour—in cases of personation, without perjury, to six months' imprisonment. MOST DARING BURGLARY.—A robbery, attended with savage barbarity, took place at the house of the Rev. R. Watson, in Over Wyersdale, on Saturday morning last, about one o'clock. The thieves had broken a pane of glass in the kitchen window, by which means they were enabled to open the latch of the sash, and so effected an entrance into the kitchen ' • they then broke open the kitchen door, which was fastened on the lobby side, anti proceeded to Mr. and Mrs. Watson's bed-room door, which was locked ; they called out ” open the door." Mr. Watson demanded who they were, and what they wanted, and receiving no answer he refused to open the door. The next moment they shivered the door to pieces, and three ruffians entered the room, all disguised, ut tering the most dreadful imprecations. Mr. and Mrs. Wat son asked them if they wanted money ; saying, if they did, they should have all the money they had in the house. Their reply was, "'Yes, but we'll murder the old —;" at the same time one presented something like a gun, another a pistol, at Mr. W.; the third' began striking him on the head, face, and arms, with a bludgeon in a most savage manner, and seizing him by the throat with his left hand, threw him on the bed and nearly strangled him. All the while this was going en, two of them used the most horrid threatenings against his wife, uttering the most disgusting curses. They then demanded that their money should be given to them im mediately. Mrs. Watson then brought all the money they had in the house, consisting of a £5 Bank of England note, and some silver. They hesitated taking the note, saying, " bring out that bag of sovereigns, we dou't want' notes." One of them espied Mr. Watson's watch, and put it in his pocket. After asking for some rum, and being told by Mrs. W. that there was none in the house, they hastily left the premises as if alarmed.—Lancaster Gazette. BANK OF ENGLAND.—The half yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of England was held on Friday, and the dividend for the half-year was fixed at 3i per cent. At this meeting the objections to one of the details of the in come tax, supposing it to be levied everywhere at an uniform rate, were made in a definite form. There was scarcely a dissentient voice as to the propriety of memorializing Sir R. Peel on the subject, and indeed the meeting was dissolved somewhat earlier than usual to allow the directors sufficient time to prepare a memorial so important. The condition in which the bank stands at present is of itself sufficient to make them remarkably sensitive as to aey severe pressure on their income. A rough estimate made by one of the pro prietors to-day gave the amount the bank would have to pay, if 7d. in the pound were levied on their terminable annuities, as above £30,000 per annum, while the addition to the "rest" for the half-year just closed does not exceed £7OOO. The present amount of the dividend (7 per cent. per annum) is the subject of renewed complaint every half-year, and the result of this calculation seemed to threaten a still further reduction of the interest on bank stock. To show how general the feeling on this subject was among the proprietors, it should be observed that they, as distinguished from the directors, seemed anxious to take the responsibility of the memorial on themselves, and to make it visible that it was their own act. It was this question of the income tax that was in fact the leading feature of the meeting. Some re flections were cast on the conduct of the Bank of England for.not joining with the other holders of the "repudiated Exchequer-bills in petitidning parliament, by one of the proprietors, but this made no great impression, and as it was ascertained that the bank held no more than £BOOO of these bills, the main curiosity connected with this matter was soon satisfied. The general questions put to the directors were even of a less searching character than usual, as the feeling on the subject of the income tax appeared to be too absorb ing to admit of more trifling matters of debate. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN. — The following is a copy of the resolution passed on this sub ject at the meeting of Irish and Welsh' members, held in London on the 9th inst., and since presented by the deputa tion to Lord Eliot, and upon which his lordship has under taken to act :—" That a deputation from the present meeting be appointed to wait upon Lord Eliot, as chief secretary for Ireland—first, to request that his lordship will draw the at tention of her Majesty's government to the great public im portance of improving the communication between London and Dublin, adverting to the present long and inconvenient passage by Liverpool, and the consideration that the power of steam is available for travelling by railway, in a proportion of about three to one of the speed that can be attained at sea; secondly, to request that Lord Eliot will have the good ness to communicate with the Board of Admiralty, referring to the reports of Captain Beaufort, R.N., presented to the House of Commons, on the 14th of March, 1837, of Lieut.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—A very desirable improve ment, and one that has advanced per salium beyond allformer steps in photographic art, has recently been introduced by an invention of Mr. Fox Talbot, for which a patent has been taken out. The improvement consists in the portraits being taken on paper, instead of on metallic plates, of their being indelible, of the extreme accuracy of likeness, the breadth of light and shadow, the general pictorial effect, and the capa bility of the portrait being multiplied into many copies or transcripts, or fac simile representations, without the sitter being required to, sit for each portrait. They resemble sepia drawings, and are exceedingly true. The sitting requires but a minute, or two minutes, according to the brightness of the day. The paper is prepared with salts of silver, and subjected, by an apparatus furnished with glasses, to th•.; rays of light, arid the likeness is, as it were, absorbed by the paper. EXTRAORDINARY FRAUD ON AN INSURANCE COM PANY.—Rumours state that the agent in this city (Exeter) of one of the London insurance-offices has been playing a very strange game. It seems that he insured, without instruc tions, two cottages at Broadclist, and immediately afterwards claimed the amount of insurance, £l2O. " The ready!' not being forwarded so punctually as the agent desired, he again wrote up to the office saying, that the insured would be wil ling to accept £BO, provided that the money was remitted without delay. This strange communication surprised the insurers, and they accordingly despatched a surveyor to the scene of the reported fire, and he at once discovered that the cottage had neither been insured nor burnt down. A warrant against the agent was obtained on Friday last, but, in law phrase, at present he is non est inventus.—Western Times.

Accordingly one person represented the judge, and others the counsellors; a jury was empanelled, and a person ar raigned as prisoner; the jury found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was ordered for execution. A rope was imme diately procured, and the poor fellow put standing on a creel with the rope fastened to a beam • the executioner gave the creel a kick, the prisoner was dirown off, and before any assistance could be rendered hint, life became extinct.

POLITENESS.— AmoY, Nov. 6.—The Chinese authorities a short time since collected about 200 war-boats and many fire-rafts, preparatory to an attack on her Majesty's ship Druid; but with the kindest consideration they previ ously sent a friendly message to Captain Smith, requesting, advising, or ordering him to move her Majesty's ship out of the waters of the Amoy, and if he reverently obeyed the or ders, they—the Chinese—would in their tender and compas sionate consideration allow her Majesty's ship to pass out unmolested. It is said that to this friendly message Captain Smith returned as friendly an answer, to the effect that he had no time to move her Majesty's ship, but that if they did not move and immediately' disperse his Imperial Majesty's flotilla, he would forthwith undertake the task himself, to its utter destructien. The Chinese, with much more complai sance than Captain Smith • evinced, immediately followed that officer's friendly advice, and the flotilla has been no more heard of.--Canton Register, Nov. 12. IMPORTANT TO SEEDSMEN. — An application having been made to Mr. Gladstone by the seed-merchants of Southwark, to the effect that the proposed duty on clover should not come into operation until after the close of the present season, as otherwise, there being no English-grown clover in the mar ket, great confusion would be caused ; we are enabled, through the kindness of a correspondent, to lay before our readers the following communication : " Southwark, 16th March, 1842. " Dear Sir,—l beg to inform you that, in answer to a me morial from the seed-merchants of Southwark, the Vice- President of the Board of Trade has consented that the pro posed reduction of duty of 10s. upon foreign cloverseed shall not take effect until the 181 of June next, at the earliest. Our market has, in consequence, assumed a firm tone.—l remain, dear sir, yours faithfully, " F. F." THE PROPOSED NEW TARIFF—THE LEATHER TRADE. —A meeting of the various branches of the leather trade took place at the Bridge House Hotel, London Bridge, on Wed nesday evening. Mr. Williams in the chair. The following resolutions were passed :—That this meeting views with alarm the new tariff proposed by the government un the subject of leather, believing that the intended low rate of duty will not adequately protect the British manufacturer ; that the present depressed state of the trade will not allow increased imports from the continent, but that the meeting relies on her Ma jesty's government for a scale of duty high enough to afford protection to the British manufacturer; t hat w hile the reduc tion, if carried into effect, will cheapen the price of boots and shoes purchased by the higher classes of society, those worn by mechanics will not be affected ; and that a deputation be appointed to represent the opinion of the meeting to the Pre sident of the Board of Trade. A petition was also prepared for presentation to the House of Commons, after which the meeting broke up. THE BRITISH QUEEN—BRITISH SEAMEN AND BRITISH GROG.—The true version of her majesty's tasting the grog ! .„. on board of the Queen, during her iate:visit to Portsmouth, is as follows :—Strict orders had been given to the men that when her majesty came down to the lower deck to see them at mess, they should not speak a word, but preserve as pro found a silence as possible. Jack, of course, was too much taken up with watching the royal visitor to think of talking, save perhaps the desire of whispering to his messmate a com ment or so on the meteor passing before him. All was still. Her majesty tasted the cocoa, and approved of it—yet all was still. Her majesty then inquired whether there was no stronger beverage allowed the men, and forthwith a tumbler of " three-watered grog" was handed her. She then raised it to her lips—when Jack forgot his orders, and three distinct cheers ran round the deck with such " a will," that the ship's sides seemed to start with the sudden explosion. The ho nour done was more than a sailor could bear without clearing his heart with an huzza ; and her majesty must have read in those honest cheers the spirit with which the British tar is ready to meet her enemies—for he enters into action with the same enthusiastic cheering which then burst on the royal ear. He meets 'friend and foe with a similar greeting —a voice fraught with terror to one, but in the other, inspiring trust, security, and confidence. —John Bull. DUBLIN, MARCH 15.—The particulars of a most atrocious assault, committed upon a lady of respectability last Satur day, have not as yet generally transpired through the press, lest their publication might tend to defeat the arrest of the accused, against whom a wart ant has been issued. It appears that Mr. C-1, an attorney, hitherto holding a highly re spectable rank in the profession, and the son of an eminent merchant, has been for some time past lavish of his profes sional favours upon Mr. - C—, a barrister, living in one of our most fashionable streets, bringing him deeds, declara tions, and other documents in the way of his profession, with the quirldarn honorarium in every case. The lawyer's pro fessional friends were naturally jealous at not getting a share of the attorney's business, but the greatest intimacy pre vailed between them, to which these marks of favour were naturally attributed. All went on smoothly until Saturday, not the been usual l warm and in at tie had most fervent when the attorney called up on his frie nd the lawyer, wishing to see him, but being part icularl y en g a g e d , he was denied.' The attorney asked to see the mistress, and was at once ad mittedcaoh conversation ferri se to ant theolyn u salutationpahre l u h r e, commencedw passed,h r e the h beu l t.dhlyee expres sionsn of admiration for the lady, protested that it was to gain her love he had so patronized her husband, then seized her b m y ea th su e re w s screamed violently, ran to the !ist T a h n e d proceeded to the . most rude and infamous side board, and seized a knife to defend herself. The husband and servants ran in, attracted by the screaming, And in the t consequent struggle and scuffle the husband fell , taking ad-. vanta m g a e g of tr w at l e ii s cl: va L s a s t e i n ta t t fh e r o ; nt h r e iv t e h d ok to ti e le sc l a a p d e y ., information, One of he city is at once issued a warrant for the delinquent, and placed it in the hands of a confidential constable, but as yet - he has not been able to make the fellow amenable. The affair, in the circle where it has transpired, has caused the utmost as tonishment as well as indignation.—Morning Post. _ - Tax ON COALB'..- - -The following notiee'with regard to the proposed duty on the export of coals twforeign parts, was given in the House of Commons by Mr. Bell :—" Whenever the resolution imposing a tax of four shillings a ton' on the export of coals is under the consideration of the committee, to take the sense of the house on it."—Newcastle Journal.— [Deputations to government upon this subject have gone up, we understand, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Stockton, Gates head, &c. The shipowners of the Wear have different views as to the effects of the duty, and in consequence have taken no steps to offer opposition to the measures of ministers.— Ed. L. S.] NIGER ExProtTioN.—Letters have been received by the Wesleyan Missionary Society, announcing the safe arrival at Kumisi, the capital of Ashantee, of Prince William Quanta missal:, and Peince John Ausah, the sons of the reigning Monarch of that country. These two interesting youths, who had for some time been in this country for improvement in their education, left for their return in the ill-fated Niger lition. They left Cape Coast, Castle on the 7th Novem- ea l her last Hi and were accompanied by M Freeman al ggins, two newly-appointed missionaries to that country. COLLECTION OF THE INCOME TAX.—In ,order to give an idea of the manner. in which the income tax will be collected, we subjoin the following account of, that proposed and car ried into effect by Mr. Pitt :—" Accarding to the provisions of the act imposing this tax, all inflames of less than47o a-year were exempted from assessment; an income of from £6O to £65 was taxed one hundred and twentieth:part ;:and the rate of duty increased through a variety of gradations until the income reached £2OO or upwards, when it amounted to a tenth part, which was its utmost limit; a variety of de- - ductions being at the same time granted on account of chil dren, &c. The commissioners to whom the management of this tax was eutrusted-Were chosen by the freeholders of counties and the electors of boroughi, in the same way as their representatives in parliament, only that a smaller quali fication was sufficient to enable any one to 6e elected a com missioner. The services of the commissioners were gratui tous, and they were sworn to preserve the, most inviolable secrecy with respect to the affairs of individnals. They were authorised to call for returns from every person whose income they supposed to exceed £6O a-year ; and in the event et their being dissatisfied with these returns, they were em powered to call for written explanations, and, ultimately, for the oath of the party. But this examination was rarely ne cessary, except in the case of incomes derived from wages, from capital employed in manufacturing and commercial business, or from the interest of loans •, the rental of land lords was, in Most cases, learned from the terms of the leases h e ld by their tenants ; while the profits or incomes of the 'tenants were estimated to amount in England to three fourths, arid in Scotland to half, the rent paid to the land lords. The corpmissioners were assisted, or rather over looked, by the tax-surveyors appointed by government, who were required to see the provisions of the act strictly en forced, and whose duty it was to scrutinise all returns of in come=to challenge such as they considered fraudulent—t o object to the deductions allowed by the ordinary commis_ sioners—and to bring the matter under the review of th e commissioners of appeal, whose sentence was final.—Envy_ clopeedia Britannica, vol. XXI, p. 109, Article—Taxation NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA.—On Friday a public meeting was held at the rooms of the City Colonial Society, Cornhill, London, to adopt measures for securing a regular and safe transit of passengers, goods, &c., to and from these colonies, across the isthmus of Panama. Mr. Cotter, of Port Phillip, in the chair. The chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting to be the shortening of the passage from this country to New Zealand and Australia via Panama. Mr. Evans went into a long statement upon the present mode of travelling from this tountry to Australia. The latter, he said, was 16,000 miles distant from our shores,, and that it required 66 days to reach it by steam. The mode of transit proposed, via P anama , wa s by the West India ste am ma il packets to Clarges, which was distant 3,i50 miles, a journey performed in 25 days. From Clarges the goods and passen gers would he passed over the isthmus of Panamato Port Nicholson, a distance of 6,280 miles, which would he tper formed in 26 d ays . Th enc e they would be conveye d t o Sydney, a furthe r di s t ance of 1,285 smiles, which w ou ld b e completed in five days. This overland travelling would be a saving of ten days within the time at present required. Mr. Walker (of Sydney) could state that the shortening of the distance from this country to Australia was an object desired by the colonists. More he could not say, as he was not ac quainted with the intended project of the parties who got up the meeting. Another gentleman said that he was satisfied, from the survey taken by. Mr. Lloyd. under the sanction of government. that a passage across the isthmus was impracti cable, from its being so s hoally. There was a hay about eight miles higher up th a t would suit the navigation very well. Several gentlemen having expressed their thoughts upon the proposed overland passage to Australia, it was resolved to adjourn the meeting until the opinion of those who had crossed the isthmus could be obtained. CHURCH EXTENSION. -It is riot to be expected that the propositions of Sir R. Inglis, or those of any other members of the legislature who may take up the cause of the Church, can embrace any object more comprehensive than that of providing for the religious wants of those who are being added to our population—in short, the object of securin g t o th e Church her present relative command of resources —or, in other words, of keeping her where she is. Most earnestly, from the deepest recesses of our hearts, do we wish that the deficiencies 'of the past could be atoned for; but of this, under present circumstances, we have, humanly speaking, no hope. Altogether differing from the worldly wisdom which avoids pleading for the Church through fear. of embarrassing our Conservative rulers, we declare it to be our solemn con viction that those rulers will bring irretrievable disgrace upon themselves if, for politically-prudential considerations, they shrink from doing for the Church that which will, at all events, keep her in her present relative situation. This—we again and again say—is, after all, the extent of what Sir Ro bert Inglis and those who think with him can contemplate in their views of Church extension. Their meaning would, indeed, be far better expressed by the term " Church main tenance." if this " Church maintenance" should not be accorded, as far as in them lies, by the present ministers and their majority in the House of Commons, they will, taking into account the great augmentations which are being steadily made to onr already dense population, be aiding, pro tanto, in CHURCH DESTRUCTION. TILE BUDGET.-Of the scheme propounded by Sir Robert Peel, our contemporaries (both liberal and conservative) have themselves waxed equally laudatory. The Manchester Guardian• (the fairest sample, perhaps, that we could select) declares that the " new provision tariff will be a very great boon to the industrious classes," and shows on Dr. Bow ring's authority that that portion of the tariff alone will save the country " nearly three times the amount of the,proposed income tax." Of the speech of Sir R. Peel this Whig editor says, " It is not only excellent in spirit, but contains an enunciation of the soundest principles of commercial and fiscal legislation." To the proposed income tax the editor gives his " strong and decided approbation," and declares his gladness " that Sir R. Peel, instead of imposing further taxes upousconsu►nable commodities, which press with seve rity upon thelpoor, has had the wisdom and the courage to lay the burthen on the shoulders of those who are best able to bear it." MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.—As a ser vant of Mr. Rees Price, of Ynismoch, in the parish of Llan gadock, together with' two female servants and a lad, were returning with a four-horse waggon from the meeting of the Llandovery Agricultural Society, on Wednesday, the 9th instant, they had on their way home to cross a ford in the river Sawthey, near the wooden foot bridge, about three quarters of a mile above its junction with the Towy. The man mounted one of the leading horses, and either in conse quence of the darkness of the night, (being past seven o'clock,) or the swollen state of the river, he missed the ford—the body of the waggon •was disengaged from the carriage, and horses, waggon, men, and women, were hurried with fearful rapidity down the river. The cries of the unfortunate party were luckily heard by the neighbouring cottagers, who succeeded, by great exertion and risk, in extricating the horses and saving the lives of all with the exception of one of the servant girls, who was carried away by the impetuosity of the stream and drowned. Though a diligent search was made, the body of the unfortunate girl ins not found until! Friday, in the river Towy, near IVlanorafon, about seven miles from the place where the melancholy catastrophe occurred ; and it is a most singular circumstance that the body was picked up very near the cottage where her widowed mother resides.— Carmarthen Journal. CAUTION TO ENCOURAGERS OF PRIZE-FIGHTS. --At the Norfolk assizes was tried an indictment for riot and assault, committed by Lord Chetwynd and ten other defendants in the month of February, 1841, at Hollcutt, in that county, on account of a prize-fight between two individuals of the names of Adams and Cain. On the case being called on, Mr. Gunning, for the defendants, said he was instructed to withdraw their plea and to allow the crown to take a•verdict against them. The defendants were satisfied, on reflection, that what had taken place could not be justified in a court of law; and that being so, they were desirous of taking the only course which could be properly adopted. On their be half be was instructed to make every apology which gentle men, with a due regard to their own character, ought to make, and which gentlemen ought to expect and to receive. Mr. Andrews, for the prosecution, said, that after what he had heard, he would only say that his clients were perfectly satisfied. Their only object in preferring this indictment was the preservation of the peace of the county, in which they had succeeded. The learned Judge said, there could be no possible objection to the course proposed by the counsel for the defendants, and the jury would, therefore, return a verdict of " Guilty." Such verdict was, accordingly, re turned, and thus amicably ended this long-pending prosecu tion, which has given rise to much expectation, and created considerable interest in the county and in the " sporting world" at large. THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—The Gazelle of Friday night contains the usual return of the average circulation of the Bank of England and country banks, for the four weeks pre ceding the sth of March. From this return it appears that the average circulation of notes in England for the four weeks preceding the sth of March shows a decrease of £818,984, as compared with the average of the previous month This decrease is formed by a diminution in the cir culation of the Bank of England A diminution in the notes of the private banks of 233,069 A diminution in the notes of the joint-stock banks of 77,915 818,984 As compared with the month ending the 18th of September, 1841, there is a decrease in the total circulation in England of £964,636. This decrease is composed of-- A diminution of the notes of the Bank of England of X 175,000 A diminution of the notes of the private banks of 468,681 A diminution of the notes of the joint-stock banks of 320,955 964,636 The average s t oc k of b ullion he ld b y t h e B an k of England during the 4 weeks ending the sth of March was £6,281,000, shbwing an increase, as compared with the previous month, of £679,000.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MAIZIET, MARCH 18. The comparative increase in the supply of Beasts to-day, arising from the large numbers of stock turned out unsold on Monday being again brought forward, together with the large arrivals from Scotland—the latter being , composed of about 420 horned and polled Scots, by steam-vassels—caused the Beef trade, this morning. to be excessively dull. In most instances, however, the primest qualities of Beef were held at the late depression; but middling and inferior kinds might have been published at an abatement of about ad per Slb, and a clearance was not effected. Notwithstand ing there was a scanty supply of Sheep brought forward, the in quiry for them was extremely inanimate, at barely stationary prices. The receipt of Lambs from Essex, Kent, and Surrey, was on the increase, yet the desnand for them was firm, at an improvement in their quotations of fully 2d per 81b ; very few Calves were on sale, whilst the Veal trade ruled dull, at a depression of about 2d per Slb, the highest figure obtained for the best sorts being 5s 6d per 81b.

MARCH2I Our report of the Cotton market for the last few days does not vary in the slightest degree from our last, all is quiet and inani mate, buyers merely taking for their immediate wants. On Satur day aeon bales were sold, and to-day 400 U at last week's prices. The accounts from Manchester are still of a gloomy nature, and manufacturers seem disposed to adopt the plan of short time, though this is always a last resort in a time of low prices, when the risk of holding heavy stocks is so inconsiderable. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT In the early part of the week the demand was moderate, the Trade supplying their immediate Wants only; since Wednesday, however, there has been more . cjwing, and as holders have not pressed their stocks on the market squire so freely, the prices of last week for all descriptions remain without change. Speculators have taken vino American, and Exporters 2,500 American and 300 Surat. 300 Sea Island are advertised for auction on Friday, Ist April.

Ali advance to 18 3d per qr. on foreign Rye constitutes the sole difference in the import duties from those of last ah prod . • together Insignificant ; and with the exception - of 9685 qrs. of \'beat from the south of Europe, we have no Grain or Flour fresh in from abroad. The corn trade here, during the , last two days, haS re mained in the same d u ll state as we have so frequently had occasion to report for some time past ; still. from the limited supplies received weekly of late,. the stocks of the leading articles of free produce, although apparently in slow . request, have been m ov i ng i m p ercept ibl y i n t o c o nsum ptio n , and are considerably reduced in amount. At the opening of our market to-day the holders of Wheat evinced rather more firmness, and somewhat higher prices were required ; but upon .a moderate attendance only of buyers, and by no means a desire to purchase freely, the transactions on the whole were limited, and no advance being obtainable, the current rates of Tuesday remained unvaried. Free Flour of all sorts continued to meet a slow demand on the terms last noted n bond, a cargo of Roman Wheat at 6s - Sd per 701bs. and 1000 barrels of States Flour at 255, were disposed of. Barley, Malt, Beaus, and Pease were saleable in small parcels merely, and scarcely maintained their previous vable. Oats were little noticed to-day , but, from the short supply at hand, supported former prices. Oatmeal continued to meet some inquiry for investment, but although no sales for that purpose were reported this morning, a moderate quantity was sold to consumers, and the trade for this article exhibited a steady aspect at our last quotations.
