A few weeks since, as we stated at the time, a number of the congregation assembled in Derry Cathedral on the sun day arose from their seats and left the building during the delivery of a sermon by the Rev. Mr. Henn. The doctrines promulgated by this gentleman were so offensive to these persons as to induce them to resort to so unusual, and in our opinion, so reprehensible, a mode of manifesting their oppo sition to the sentiments of the preacher, who it appears is an admirer of the system of Theology recently sprung up at Oxford. The following correspondence has taken place be tween the Bishop and the Dean on the subject : " Boom hall, May sth, 1843. "My dear Mr. Dean,--I consider it my duty to call your attention, and that of :he Churchwardens of the parish of Templemore, through you, to an occurrence which took place in the Cathedral on the morning of the 23rd of April, when a number of persons, apparently by preconcerted arrangement, left the Church during the performance of divine service, in a manner calculated to cause embarrassment to the officiating minister, and to give offence to the rest of the congregation. I feel assured that it will be quite sufficient, in order to pre vent a repetition of the act, at least by the well-disposed among them, to make it apparent to those persons, through you and the Churchwardens, that, from whatever motive it originated, it was an offence against the laws.' " All Christian Men are bound to obey laws, whether of the ecclesiastical or civil power. The laws both of our Church and country prohibit such an act as I have conceived it my duty now to refer to. They are very strict in protecting the officiating minister during the performance of divine service. Their language expresses that no one shall ' molest, vex, disturb, or otherwise trouble' him ; and they further direct that none shall depart out of the Church during the time of service or sermon without some urgent or reasonable cause.' " Were it intended, by the proceeding to which I have re ferred, to convey any personal reflection upon an individual, the manner of doing so was in many additional ways objec tionable. Any departure from sound doctrine by a pp preacher is punishable in a leg al manner ; and, if it was supposed that such an offence had been committed, it was the duty of those who thought so to seek the legal remedy, and not to risk the disturbance of the peace of the congregation, and the incur ring the inconvenience of public scandal, by taking the judg ment of the presumed offence into their own hands. " On this point I should wish to draw your attention to the 39th (Irish) Canon, in which it is set forth that, ' if any preacher in his sermon shall publish any doctrine, either strange or disagreeing from the word of God, or from the Articles of Religion generally received in the churches of England and Ireland, they (the Minister and Churchwar dens) shall, by their letter subscribed with some of their hands that heard him, so soon as may be, give notice to the Bishop of the diocese, that he may determine the matter. and take such order therein as he shall think convenient.' My object in pointing the attention of the Minister and the Churchwardens of the parish of Templemore to this Canon is, that should they know or ascertain any just cause of com plaint on the part of any, especially of those persons who left the congregation on the occasion referred to, they may for ward to me a specific statement in writing, (according to the provisions of the Canon,) of the erroneous doctrine com plained of. and I shall put such complaint in process of im ' mediate investigation. Such a course is the legal one, and has obvious advan tages over that which incurs the risk of irreverence and pub lic scandal, inasmuch as it affords a patient hearing to all parties, ensures that the charge shall be definite and well weighed, not made hastily from prejudice or mistake ; and, while it affords to the accused party an opportunity of de fence, (which the line hitherto adopted does not,) it provides for all just ground of objection an effectual remedy. " In the event of such a charge being specifically made, I shall give it the most impartial attention. Should it, how ever, on inquiry, be found incapable of being sustained, the impropriety of acting as though it were so, and making it the subject of public accusation, or the occasion of personal injury, will be obvious to all who are well disposed and dis passionate. " In every case, and under all circumstances, the peace of the congregation, and the protection of public worship from interruption, must be considered a matter of exceeding im portance. I therefore rely on your conveying to the church wardens the expression of my anxious desire that they should on all occasions carefully attend to the preservation of it. " I remain, my dear Mr. Dean, very faithfully yours, " R. DERRY ANDAIai:IOE " To the Very Rev. the Dean of Derry. "TO THE HON. AND RIGHT REV. THR LORD BISHOP OF DERRY "MT DaAR Loan BISHOP,—I did hope that the earnest request I made to your Lordship might have spared me the very painful obligation of appearing as a newspaper corres pondent with the Bishop of my diocese, but the publication of your letter of the sth instant, in the last Journal, has placed me in a position, both with my parishioners and my clerical brethren, in which I cannot suffer myself to remain, as my character has been unsparingly assailed by imputations cast upon it of having acted in contradiction to my well known religious opinions, through unworthy and interested motives ; and further, the very fact of your Lordship's ad dressing rise in the newspapers may leave an impression on the public mind that you conceive me at least favourable to the grievous commotions which have lately taken place in my congregation. I can scarcely imagine that you entertain such an idea. I should hope the long acquaintance which has subsisted between us must have proved to your Lordship that I am much more disposed to be a messenger of peace than the author of discord. The high respect I entertain for your Lordship, induces me thus publicly to come forward — a communication from any inferior quarter should have passed unnoticed. I trust you will believe that I earnestly disclaim the slightest intention of stating anything in the most remote degree disrespeetful to your Lordship, from whom I have received much of courtesy and kindness, or of wounding the feelings of Mr. Henn, whose many good qua lities I esteem and admire. •' Your lordship desires to draw my attention to the 39th canon, entitled " Strangers not admitted to preach without license ;" and I will now ask you, is it reasonable to place on me the painful duty therei❑ imposed, after the repeated assurances I have received from your lordship, both verbally and by letter, that you would take on yourself all the respon sibility of Mr. Henn'a occupying the pulpit of the Cathedral? I have never opposed your lordship's wishes on this subject, or hitherto questioned your authority even before you deemed It necessary to take a legal opinion, by which it appears doubtful whether I have the power, even should I have the disposition, to exclude Mr. Henn from the privilege of ad dressing the congregation, against which measure I took the liberty of remonstrating, solely from my desire to maintain that peace and good feeling which ought to characterize a Christian community, and having so done, I trust I may justly be deemed irresponsible as respects its past or future consequences. . _ " Your lordship calls on me, also, to convey to the church wardens, (as I understand, in my official capacity,) the ex pression of your feelings as to preserving the peace of the con gregation. Now, my lord, I beg leave to assure you of my anxious wish that peace and good order should be observed in the strictest sense during public worship, but the enforce ment of this I consider as purely the duty of the churchwar dens (who, I make no doubt, are well disposed to perform it,) in proof of which assertion, I heg leave to call your lordship's notice to the 91st canon, which appears to me very explicit on this subject, and take the liberty of suggesting that your letter should have been addressed to those officers instead of the minister of the parish ; and here I will again ask you, is it reasonable to include me in any way in the execution of so painful a duty, after repeating to me those assurance of which I have already made mention, as regards the effects of Mr. Henn's addressin; my congregation. And now, my dear lord, permit me to draw your atten tion, not only to my own wounded feelings, but to the grie vously distracted state of that congregation, whose peace and spiritual welfare must be so near to the heart of one who has for so long a period of years stood with regard to it in the en dearing relation of pastor. " My Lord, I have been spared to see a large proportion of its members advance from childhood to youth, as well as from youth to age. I have not been insensible to their respect for, and attachment to, both myself and the able, the faithful, and the laborious brother clergymen, whom, from time to time, it has been my privilege to have associated with me in my ministerial charge. And now, my Lord, I will leave it to your dispassionate sod kindly feeling to estimate how painful it must be for the heart of one so circumstanced to perceive his congregation, Sabbath after Sabbath, dimi nishing in numbers ; to see them absent themselves in hun dreds from the Sanctuary where they and their fathers have worshipped, or so breaking through all restraint, as to leave the House of God in crowds while His Holy Services are being celebrated. Your Lordship's letter seems to me to i m ply that personal feelings exist on the part of those in question. So far as lam acquainted with their sentiments, they rest their objections on other grounds; whether such objections he well founded or not, I decline giving any opi nion. But surely it cannot be matter of surprise that objec tions be made to doctrines which they conceive have been promulgated, and which are diverse from the teaching of ministers so beloved by them, and who, in times past, have laboured with such zeal for the spiritual interests of those committed to their charge. It is impossible that the feelings of those who absent themselves can be personal : Mr. Henn's well known amiability of character and courtesy of deport ment would preclude such an idea. No, my Lord, they are dying from an apprehension of the influence of that wither ing blight with which the Almighty has been pleased to visit His Church—from the contagion of that wide spreading pea tilense which would paralyze all vitality in religion. Such being the state of my parish, I would beseech you, my dear Lord, to take these momentous matters into your calm and unbiassed consideration, and thus endeavour to heal the wounds inflicted on the peace of my distracted congregation, and spare the feelings of one who can now number nearly f o rty-five years in the ministry, whose " grey hairs" must, under the continuation of such afflicting circumstances, descend " with sorrow to the grave."-1 remain, my dear Lord Bishop, your faithful and obedient servant, " THOMAS B. GOUGU. " The Deanery House, Derry, May 12, 1843." O B JECTIONS TO THE PASTORAL AID SOCISTY.—Is there n o cause for the Church Pastoral Aid Society ? You, my Lord, have lifted one veil—a mysterious veil—and shown us a dreary and deadly prospect. (Hear.) You have shown us what ought to be dons ; you have cast a ray of light upon that darkness, and God Almighty bless you for it. (Hear, and applause.) Here, indeed, is ample room for a Society like ours. We have sixteen millions of people in this great country, and I believe 12,000 clergymen. " What are these among so many ?" (Hear.) We require of every one who knows what it is to be an Englishman, who feels what it is to be a Christian, to raise his hand and enlist his heart, and every power God has given him, in order to convey light and succour in these perilous times of ignorance and profligacy to our fellow-countrymen. (Hear, hear.) We are accused not alone of enlisting clergymen in this cause, but of employing lay-agency. Lay-agency ! I glory in the charge. (Cheers.) Lay-agency is what the Church of England wants. It is, I may almost say, all and everything. The clergy are not the church, but the servants of the church. (Applause.) I see before me in every great assembly like the present the church itself. Lay-agency not wanted! Look at the chair. (Re newed cheering.) You respond to my feeling, and your applause does you credit. (Renewed cheers.) It always gives me pleasure to see a layman sitting in what is called an ecclesiastical chair. He is in his proper place, setting us an example, and giving us his sanction, his character, and influence. And where shall we find one whom we more esteem as a layman, or whom we should be more anxious to follow than the excellent nobleman (Lord Ashley) who now pres ides over this meeting ? (Applause.) I rejoice to find by the Report that you consider this Society a missionary establishment. It is so. It is a misfortune that when people talk of a missionary establishment they do not then take, not pic, but a telescopic view of things, and look far b a e7 ic ori r"° dw c -hat is immediately and glaringly within their view. The meeting of the Church Missionary Society, the other day, was thronged ; there was not a bench vacant; every heart was enlisted in favour of Hong Kong and the distant and unknown regions of the East. The motto of some peo ple seems to be " Ignotum pro magnifico." (Hear, hear.) Mistake me not; 1 do not mean that the ignolum, the re gions of Pagan darkness, should . not be p ene tr a ted with Christian light ; or that magnz.fico ought not to b e a pplied to ever y attempt at the conversion cf the Heathen. But who will say that the Church Pastoral Aid Society ought not to assume a missionary character in dealing with the ignorance that is to be found at home? So far from wishing in the slightest degree to counteract the efforts of those who deal with foreign and Pagan countries, I would support and aid them, and rejoice to see my countrymen supporting Missions to the Heathens.

This morning, at a quarter before three o'clock, an alarm I of Fire in Jackson's-lane, between Union-street and Queen street, (a short distance to the N. E. of the Exchange), reached the fire station; and in a few minutes a number of fire engines and water carts reached the ground. The fire originated in a warehouse on the east side of Jackson's-lane, known as "Jackson's," and near the south end of the lane, there being but one house, occupying the corner between it and Union-street, that next to the Government Emigration Office. The warehouse contained cotton in the cellar, and here, it is believed the fire originated (from what cause is not yet known). It blazed up with great fury and rapidity, and Jackson's-lane, which is very narrow, soon became filled with a dense black smoke, which completely darkened the air, and opposed the efforts of the firemen. Mr. Rush ton, the police magistrate, Mr. Leverett, and many other superintendents, were immediately on the ground, with a considerable force of fire and ordinary police ; but, as usual, half an hour elapsed before water could be got in any effec tive quantity from the mains, and in the mean time the fire progressed. In a short time the second story of the ware house had caught fire, and from its containing a large quantity of saltpetre, the worst apprehensions were entertained, and great caution was necessary. Luckily, however, a series of slight shocks, resembling a cannonading, preceded a grand explosion, which last may be said to have blown up the greater part of the warehouse, the ruins of which fell partly into the street and partly, the north wall, upon an adjoining shed, also containing saltpetre, which it effectually and luckily crushed in, so that the material is now scarcely combustible. A high part of the N. W. corner of the warehouse alone remained standing. The explosion shook all the neighbouring buildings, and even found its way down the soughs andj water pipes in the street, causing a noise like a continued bombardment. The opposite ware house—" Frights"—on the west side of the, lane, soon caught fire—first at the top—and being six stories in height the engines could not effectually reach it, and by half-past four o'clock the three upper stories blazedout from the doors and windows in the two fronts to Union-street and the Lane. It is lamentable to state, that though numbers of idle strong men were about, none of them could be prevailed upon, though offered good pay, to work the engines ! and the police officers had to be sent for from various distant pada of the town. This is a frightful account of the moral state of the poorer classes, but it is nevertheless deplorably true. Water was conveyed as rapidly as possible from the Fire• station and elsewhere by the water carts, in the default of that from the water company's pipes. Shortly before, and about four o'clock, the blaze, together with the successive explosions was terrific, and we may add, sublime. About five o'clock all hopeEof saving Wright's warehouse being at an end, after every possible exertion and great danger to those employed near it from the falling of materials, the cat-head coverings in Union-street, &c. ; an attempt was made to cut off the progress of the fire in- the range of valuable warehouses adjoining on the north, and running all the way (six stories in height) into Queen-street; but this was found to be impossible of accomplishment in the next warehouse, and the firemen directed their efforts towards this object on the warehouses further north, in which it is to be hoped they will succeed. Great part of the warehouse first burnt, fell upon the back of the houses, on the south side of it, in Union-street, crushing in the yard walls, and filling many of the rooms with smoke and flame. The inhabitants made:tbeir escape as they could, in great alarm, and the furniture, fixtures, books, &c. were carried out, or thrown out by the windows, piecemeal. I considerable quantity of books, and papers, loose and in drawers were also got out blithe police, whose exertions were great. It is now 6 o'clock, and we shall hereafter report further progrese. Wright's warehouse is now nearly all in a blaze. It stands partly isolated at the end to Union -street, and as there is also saltpetre in the cellars, apprehensions are entertained of another explosion, and a falling of the walls. EIGHT o'CLocK.—Soon after six o'clock we found the Mayor, Mr. Councillor Sheppard, and several other gentle men in authority, who had joined Mr. Rushton. " Wright's" warehouse, before noticed, was burned down half its height, or three stories, and the smoke and flame had begun to issue in volumes from some of the lower doors in Union street, and the windows in Jackson's-lane. As it was understood that there was a quantity of saltpetre and spirits in the cellars, (which are, however, fortunately vaulted,) while great exertions were made to arrest the progress of the fire from above, equal, or greater efforts were exerted to prevent an explosion from below, which, from the narrowness of the two streets on its angle, on the east and:!south, and the !great height of the building, must have been attended with serious consequences to all engaged at the engines, as well as to the neighbouring houses. Up to half-past 7 o'clock, the walls still stood nearly erect, and being well built, gave no indication of a fall, beyond a very slight projection of the lofty pediment, surmounting the end fronting to Union -street, which may have arisen in the original building. The police were exceedingly active i❑ throwing water into the highest windows and doors which they could reach, and for this purpose hose pipes were taken up to the opposite third story windows of Union-street, and also to the top of the corner premises—a lodging house—in the corner opposite that street and the lane. Water was also copiously poured into the cellars of the warehouse by such appertures as could be found intthe first floor, and also by the cellar doors—the waste water being dammed up by damaged cotton in the street, so that it fuund its way into them. The water thrown in from the elevated branch pipes (from the windows and roofs) must have been most effective, as every drop of it went within the walls. The warehouse and its contents were before doomed ; and the great danger became the probability of the heavy masses of cotton, &c., some of it half consumed, falling with the floors, and from its weight and swelling, with the water thrown upon it, bursting out the lower part of the walls, and thus pro jecting the' whole pile into the streets. No danger was at this time apprehended from an explosion in the cellars, which appeared to be effectually flooded. It became evident, at length, that the efforts:of the firemen and others were no longer available, either to save the premises or the property (nearly the whole) that was stored!within ; and Mr. Hewitt, of the fire-police, foreseeing this probability beforehand, had sometime before got, with several of his men, and at great peril, upon the top of the neat extensive warehouse, of equal height, on the north the wind being unluckily from the southward and eastward. blowing the fire in the direction of the whole range northward, which con tained a vast quantity of valuable raw material. Notwith standing the great exertionslof the parties:on the roof to cut off the fire, it caught the nest warehouse, the flames first bursting out at the top window. The cat-head was but a short distance from it to the north, and caught fire soon after. A very short time before, we saw Mr. Hewitt on the very outer peak of the cat-head roof, looking " how the Jiro blew", and directing bis men. The street (Jaekson's-lane) a little to the south of it, was piled with the ruins of the warehottoe opposite, in:which the fire broke out, to the height of 15 to 20 feet. We have awed that in the latter warehouse a succession of explosions from saltpetre took place. The great :explosion (which was soon succeeded by another almost as terrific) had a most alarming and destructive effect on the houses adjoining, and particularly on Mr. Chalk's at the corner, and the more contiguous. The out-houses behind it were thrown down by the united blast and the falling of the materials ; the hack apartments ruined by the explosion, as if by gunpowder : the glass blown in, and the window frames smashed and burned. Even the cellar window, under the front parlour, was similarly dealt with, and the shutter fixed upon it outside blown into the street like a tompion from a gun. The ceilings and plaster-work were also torn off, and the house partly on fire, though still standing, is a complete wreck. The fire is here and there smouldering in it. but it is so drenched with water that'ithe cellars were nearly afoot deep. Mr. Rushton and other gentlemen, perceiving that the fire was extending to the north part of the range of ware houses on the west aide of Jackson's-lane, went round about half-past seven o'clock into Queen-street, to direct opera tions in that quarter. Here we found the whole street filled with a suffocating timber-smoke. The third warehouse had effectually caught fire, though holes had been made in the roofs, and engines were at work in all directions, all those available in the town being put into requisition. Next to the shed, adjoining the warehouse on the east side, which had first ignited, and from which the explosions had proceeded, was another shed, also filled with a large quantity of saltpetre in bags, and such men as could be got on the emergency, were employed to carry it out into a yard in Queen-street. A quantity of cotton in small bales was also carried out of the lower story of the third warehouse, now on fire at the top, and each bale was carried on the back of a single man, who staggered beneath the load. Mr. M`Guffie, druggist, Oldhall-street, was amongst the first at the fire, and rendered most active assistance Capt. Bouiiker, and Lieut. the Honourable Frederick Fitz roy, of the 15th Infantry, came to the ground at half-past five o'clock, and with 40 of their men were most active in keeping off the idlers at the several street ends. The fire broke out about three o'clock—not yet known how. Mr. Maxwell, the Insurance offices' salvage agent, was, as usual, at his post, and was most energetic. The warehouses in the range alluded to are all called "Wright's," and are all yr t in danger.

One police-officer was severely, but not dangerously wounded by a brick in the warehouse in Union-street falling and cutting him in the forehead. We have heard of no other (accident. A policeman (whose name we shall hereafter find) was most active in breaking open the doors and windows of tl e warehouses to admit the throwing in of the water. The whole of the police indeed, officers and men, did that which England expects every man to do in the hour of peri'.

FORGERY.-Hugh Frazer pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court, on Monday, to a charge of feloniously forging and uttering a power of attorney to transfer £1779 18s. 4d., bank annuities, to defraud the Bank of England. He was sentenced to transportation for life. LONGEVITY.—There is an old gentleman residing on the Little Annamessex, in Somerset county, Maryland, named Hance Lawson, aged 110. The Republican states that he walked a considerable distance, a few days since, to pay a visit to his youngest son, a lad of about 70 years of age.— American paper. It is rather a singular fact, that three persons residing within a very short distance of each other, in Bishopwear mouth, have died during the last three weeks in consequence of lock-jaw, arising from injuries received from trifling acci dents. which, in other respects, appeared not to be attended with danger. THE SPERNALL MURDER.—It is now stated, upon the authority of a manufacturing house at Redditch, who have recently received a communication from their agent in Ame rica, that Crowley, charged with shooting his tather's man servant upon his farm of Spernall, near Redditch, has been apprehended by an English police-officer in the Uuited States, and is now on his passage to this country. At a meeting of the states held in the island of Guernsey last week, the following, among many other subjects, was proposed for consideration, viz.:—" Whether there shall be granted the sum of X7O. per anuum for the destruction of sparrows for two years." After a grave and lengthened dis cussion the proposition was rejected by a majority of 17 to 12.

THE MURRAIN AMONGST CATTLE.—This disease,. by which thousands of cattle have been destroyed in the three kingdoms, still continues to rage in several districts, and is not extinct in Lancashire, though less destructive here at present than it was during the winter months, when some of the Lancashire farmers lost the greater part of their stock. It is at present raging with very great violence in the south of Scotland. The unobtrusive manner in which care is taken for the in tellectual as well as the material wants of the domestics in the royal residence is perhaps not generally known. No less than two libraries ars at this moment being formed in Wind sor Castle, one for the inferior, and the other for the upper servants. Copies of the " Pictorial History of England," the " Penny Cycloptedia," and other works of the same kind have been ordered for both. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET. MAY 13.—We have still to report a brisk demand for raw sugars, and prices are again rather higher. The sales since our last consist of about 700 hogsheads and tierces West India, at from 575. to 685.; 1000 mats 'Mauritius at 595. to 665.; and 2500 bags Bengals (the entire cargo per Argyle), which have brought prices varying from 60s. to 68s. In rice 1000 bags Bengali have been disposed of at an average of about Ils. Average price of sugar, week ending May 9, is 345. 41. per cwt. THE BRITISH LEGlON.—According to the Standard, the Spanish government have been for the last month actively negociating with the banking house of O'Shea, of Madrid, with reference to the arrears of pay, and the safest method of satisfying the claims - of the disbanded array. All the ar rangements are nearly completed, and the claims are not only to be paid up in full, but the government, to mark their high opinion of the bravery of the men, are to add to each man's share a liberal gratuity. THE IRON TRADE.—The total number of blast furnaces in Great Britain, for the year ending January 1843, was in blast 339, and out of blast 190, whilst the annual produce, taken at 50 weeks, amounted to 1,210,000 tons of crude iron. There were made 8,000 tons at the Forest of Dean ; in South Wales, 457.350 ; in North Wales, 19,750 ; in Northumber land, 25,750; in Yorkshire, 42,000; in Derbyshire, 25,750; in North Staffordshire, 21,750; in South Staffordshire, 300,250; in Shropshire, 76,200; and in Scotland, 238,550. We/chi/ion. At the Ballinnsloe May fair, on Monday, there were sold 3141 oxen ; 202 heifer• ; 90 calves ; 991 sheep ; 16 horses ; 20 lambs. The cattle came in better condition to the fair than usual. The sale was brisk, and for store stock the prices better than expected. The feeders from Clare sold and realised within 3s. a head of the price they calculated. There was 300 head more of stock from Clare than for many previous years. Some of the stock of John Mac donnell, Esq., Newhall, two years old half-bred heifers, brought £7 ; two years old Durham Bullocks, £7 10s. ; a dry Durham, £l2 17s. 6d. We regret to state that three cottages were nearly destroyed by fire, on Wednesday night, at Conwil, and there is no doubt it was the work of an incendiary. Had it not been for the great exertion of the neighbours, the inmates would have been burnt to death. The houses are the property of Mr. Howell Davies, who has given some imaginary offence to Rebecca—hence the tire. We foretold how it would be; — first turnpike gates were destroyed, next plantations, and now cottages. Let not those in authority imagine R e b ecca will stop short at her work. She will ere long aspire to higher game unless put down by the strong arm of the law. —Carmarthen Journal. RETORT COURTEOUS. —(From the American Burlington Free Press.)—Edward Everett, our minister to England, delivered an oration before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, at Cambridge, at their annual celebration, a few years ago, and after the public exercises were over, the society had a din ner, as is usual on such occasions- Judge Storey, who pre sided at the tables, is said to have proposed the following sentiment, after the cloth was removed, in compliment to the orator :—" The Orator of the Day—Applause follows the footsteps of fame wherever it (Everett) goes." This di rected the attention of the whole company to Mr. Everett, who immediately arose and made the following very happy retort :—" The Members of the Legal Profession—however lofty their aspirations may be, they can never rise higher than one story." EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT TO GRETNA-GREEN.— Numer * ous have been the Gretna-green elopements, and sin gular the circumstances connected with them ; but the most remarkable that we are acquainted with is the following, the particulars of which have been furnished by a Cumberlivid correspondent .—Thomas Sawyer, Esq. of Kirby Stephen, Westmorland, is a gentleman of fortune, and has passed the allotted span of human life—" three score years and ten" by about six years. Mary Abrams, of the same place, is the daughter of poor parents, and was servant girl to Mr. Leo nard Hodgson, of the budding a ge of 16 years. It appears that a second flow of the most ardent of all the passions had arisen in the breast of old Mr. Sawyer ; he paid his addres ses to the said Mary Abrams, and won her heart ; for true, it it, that she in r e t urn o gave her first " young love ; " and, in rder to consum ma t e t h e i r happiness, a Gretna-green mar riage was resolved upon between the parties, contrary to the wishes of the relatives and friends of the old gentleman and those of the girl, although her parents are poor, and she by the marriage would become affluent and independent. Sun day morning last, however, Mr. Sawyer's flame of love in creased to such a pitch, and Ins patience becoming exhausted, he, unknown to his friends, eloped to Brough, where he or dared a post-chaise and two of the best and fleetest horses in Mr. Kilvington's stables, which were put to in the twink ling of an eye, and away the loving pair flew on the wings of love. But, " the course of true love never did run smooth" for on the road the chaise partially broke down. This little mishap was, however, overcome at Penrith, and they were speedily on the road again ; an d they arrived at their desti nation) t distance of upwards of hatsen tle44 f;0 mile,' sod triirri,tge DAMAGE TO THE STONE PIER AT GREENIVICTL—On Tuesday morning, between nine and ten, the inhabitants in the vicinity of the stone pier at Greenwich, were alarmed by a loud report, like the explosion of a piece of artillery, suc ceeded within a few seconds by the announcement that the pier was falling. Several persons were on the pier as it gave way, and others were on the barge which is moored in front. The damage has extended itself to at least three-fifths of the entire length, which is 320 feet, and in dept, from the bottom of the piles, 80 feet. The crash which created the alarm oc curred through the springing of one of the immense piles which are in front of the pier, and support the brickwork and masonry, to which they are clasped by bars of iro❑ let into the stonework. A previous breaking away of a part of the pier took place at four o'clock in the morning, but it was then hoped that the damage would not go further. At that time two men were at work cleaning the steps, which cracked under them ; the subsequent damage appears, as it were, the result of an earthquake; the immense slabs of stone for the landings having caacked, and in parts literally crumbled ; the heavy masses, which are on the top of the brickwork, into which the massive iron railings and posts are sunk, have cracked, burst, and stink in every direction, whilst the greater part of the parade presents many large fissures, the stone pavement, &c., having also sunk in curves. The front wall bulges out in many parts even above the high-water mark, implying too clearly that the lower part is also extensively damaged. To guard against accident on the parade, the great part is roped off. The cost of the erection of the pier, which is called the permanent pier, was about £30,000, and it was only completed about three years ago. It is estimated that the repairs will cost at least half that sum, which, it is said, wiil fall on Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the contractors, it having been admitted that the disruption has occurred through an error in not having formed a coffer-dam at first, and formed a solid foundation. —Times of Wednesday.— The prediction that this erection would crumble to pieces in a short time from the return of the spring tide, after the in jury detailed in our paper of yesterday, unfortunately proved correct. At about eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, just as the tide was rising, another crash was heard, which was at once attributed to the bursting of the piles in front of the pier. As soon as daylight appeared, persons in boats went to see the extent of damage. Pile after pile, of ponderous timber, bound with iron, and fixed at the foundation in massive plates of iron, had been split and shivered, some falling inwards, and others outwards, whilst the parade gave way i❑ every di rection, the fissures extending nearly the whole length, and the plates of iron being shivered like glass. It is now, there fore, scarcely safe for any person to go on the pier, as the only remaining stairs leading to the floating barges have ex hibited symptoms of downfall. The eastern end, near Ship Dock and the Royal Hospital, is opening to fissures, and is likely to burst away in that direction. It is quite impossible to stay the damage, but the whole must be left to its fate, and be washed down by the tides, when the greater part of at least 10,000 tons of earth, &c., which had been laid in be tween the wall and the road to form the parade, will also be washed away. The only safe public accommodation now is the Watermen's-pier.— Times of Thursday. SECOND EDITION. gpoipplng TUESDAY, MAY I6.—Wind E.S.E.

Oats Barley LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 18 Our market continues to wear a healthy aspect, and carries with it a firmness of tone which prevents any decline in prices, though the demand is not so decisive as it was last week. The quantity sold yesterday was 6000 bales. 1000 of them to speculators and ex porters ; to-day 4 to 5000 bales have been sold, all to the trade. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 17 There was only a moderate show of Beasts to.day, but of Sheep a good one—and that of Lambs excellent. In Beef and Mutton no change, but Lambs was Id per lb lower. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, May 18, 1843 We have had an exceedingly . ' scanty supply of Potatoes into port for some day's past, with an increased demand from country dealers for transhipment, combined with a steady retail business at the quays from our town trade, has caused an advance in price for all descriptions. The market closed very firm this evening at the annexed quotations, viz :—Cups, Is 21d to Is 4d, Seedlings, Is ;:d to Is 6d. Pink Eyes, Is 3d to is 4d per go lb. Our local markets are now only very moderately supplied with any descriptions of produce, by our neighbouring farmers, and for which they obtain very full prices. Potatoes u , 11). s.

Having very few arrivals of Grain, in addition to those al luded to in the foregoing report, the supplies received here since this day week are on the aggregate very unimportant. Our market this morning was tolerably well attended by town and country purchasers, and the trade upon the whole assumed a steadier appearance than of late. In good and fine descriptions of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat, the transactions were to a moderately fair extent, on quite as high terms, and, in a few partial instances, at prices slightly over the currency of this clay se'nnight ; but in the low qua lities of this grain there was no amendment either in demand or value. Flour, moving off rather less readily, hardly maintained the advance above noted. Barley supported the improved rates of Friday, and supe rior qualities of Malt were is. per qr. dearer. Beans and Pease, upon a moderate sale, fully retained our last quotations. Oats, being still scarce, commanded former prices, but were disposed of rather less freely than previously. Oatmeal, on the contrary, was in good request, and choice cuts, In some instances, rather exceeded the rates of last week. In the bonded market, little has transpired beyond a few trivial sales for export : the recent imports of foreign Wheat, however, continue to be offered free for consumption, and last week 1670 qrs. were cleared for that purpose within the range of our quotations, on payment of the 20s. duty. The late cold winds having been succeeded by mild genial weather and fertilizing rains, vegetation is now progressing vigorously, and after as favourable a seed time as can be rememnered, the crops around us exhibit a most luxuriant aspect.
