'ME VESPER HYMN 111,e following stanzas, from Dr. Beattie's " illustrations oo..witzerlantl," may serve as a specimen of the Vesper Hymn, which is still heard undulating from cliff to cliff, when the sunloes down, and the shepherds of Apenzell accompany ting with pra Brothers ! the day declines, dacier brightens, igh flunkwyl pines rhe vesper halo lightens ; orn hamlet, rock and chalet, Your grateful songs be poured, s. stain,lake, and with ho—Praise the Lord The sun sleeps in the west ; The stars gleam light and cold, And bring the hour of rest To the shepherd and his fold ; Now swell the mountain chorus, To him our sires adored, Whose glorious works before us Still whisper—Praise the Lord !

'raser's Magazine for August, 1841 This is a valuable number of this truly valuable magazine, and we never remember having risen from the perusal of any of the preceding numbers with such real satisfaction and solid profit. It is impossible to bestow any lengthened notice upon each of the articles, but we cannot refrain from remark ing upon the sterling, nervous Protestantism which runs through two of them. The well-merited lashing indicted upon the Popish hierarchy for their hearty approbation of the sohl-destroying doctines, embodied in " Bonaventure's Psal ter," is cheering, and peculiarly well-timed. The Romish Church is here charged with, and proved to be, guilty of the idolatry and not all the ingenuity and sophistry of Daniel Murray, of Dublin; Daniel O'Connell, of Derrynane; and Daniel French, of Hammersmith three renowned Daniels—can disprove, or even decently excuse, the awful blasphemy and idolatry which are here fathered upon them. The writngs of Bonaventure—even the blasphemous Psalter —are fastened on the heads of the Church of Rome, and the attempts of the priests (who are ashamed of so large a manifestation of their idolatrous practices appearing, before the public are ripe enough to receive them) to show that the Psalter is not a genuine document, are ably exposed and refuted. Let every Protestant read this article, there is a fund of information, startling and fearful ; in every page. Another valuable paper is styled the " Felo de se" of the whigs, a short extract from which enriched a recent number of the Standard, and will serve to show the bearing of the arguments. The question, " Whether Ultra-Protestantism or High-Churchism is more likely to advance the cause of ConSerVatisp," is there satisfactorily answered. It is en couraging to find the " queen" of periodicals labouring to disseminate the same principle's which we, at a great distance, alt to advocate.

Truly this is a most original tale, and of a verity " Boz" is a most original writer. His brain must be• most prolific, and teem with. " thoughts that breathe," to give vent to " words that burn." Not a jot of the interest in this story is abated. The working up of Lord George Gordon's history and his proceedings, is a most original idea, and if the truth be only adhered to, with a sufficient quantity of fiction to make the recital palateable, " Barnaby Rudge" will be, not my one of the most remarkable, but one of the most valuable ohs of the day. Lord George Gordon's career was one h created extraordinary excitement, and one of the of the time ; there is abundance of iaterial in his life to be most highly wrought up, particu ,w-hill, when the distillery was broken into, and the streets ran with liquor.

FOR THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.) No. II Arrival at Limerick front Torbert -Congratulations at _Friends —Approach to the City —An Irish Welcome— Limerick, its Public Edifices , As we had entered Tarbert in the night, guided after leav ing Kilrush by the lighthouse at the former harbour, we had seen the shores of the Shannon merely as clouds on the horizon ; and being anxious to lose no opportunity, during my intended short stay, of taking (as a sailor would say) what observations I could, I therefore lost no time in gain ing the deck early in the morning, roused by the " didder ing" noise, and tremblement, caused by the suction in the flues of the furnaces, indicating that the steam was getting up. Shortly afterwards the anchor was smartly weighed, under the direction of Captain Kennedy, now in command of the vessel in his native stream, of which he is an experi enced pilot ; and we started off " for Limerick, ho ! " at about half-past four o'clock. The weather was, however, drizzly and hazy ; and though the prospect, as we neared either shore, was occasionally rich and beautiful, it would be doing injustice to the Shannon to endeavour to describe it under such a disadvantage, and I shall refrain from parti cularising until I come to notice my subsequent trips be tween Limerick and Kilrush. Suffice it to say, that, after our stormy sea-voyage, the occasional views of the varied landscape, variegated by gentlemen's seats, castellated ruins, towers, hamlets, and cottages, on each side of the river, which now widened into a lake studded with islands, and contracted to a narrow strait, were altogether refreshing and delightful. We had on the previous evening observed that the shores of the estuary below Kilrush, though producing pasturage for sheep, were almost destitute of trees, the saline prevail ing winds from the westward being injurious to their growth. Now the verdure continued to increase, and the woods to thicken, as we advanced into the interior, until all the proximate lands, backed by undulated acclivities or swelling mountains, assumed a charming appearance of rural warmth and fertility. The sombre aspect of the ruined towers, castles, and religious houses, that had once rung with the clash of arms or the shout of revelry, or given echo to the song of the devotee,—peering on the tops of hills, or reposing on wooded sites on the low grounds,—peculiarly attracts the attention of the contemplative stranger who first visits this interesting locality, and calls forth reminiscences of the feuds and forays of the olden time, in which there is an indescribable admixture of the pleasurable and the melan choly. " The Knight of Glyn," as we passed his castle, saluted us by firing a gun from his battery on the lawn. We had two fine cannons on deck, and strove to return the compli ment, but found, to our sore disappointment, that we had been unable, during the gale, to " keep our powder dry." We, however, " lived to fire another day." As we pro ceeded the weather slightly improved, and Begle Castle, Bun ratty Castle, and Carrig-o-gunniel Castle became successively objects of interest. Further on we passed Cooper's Hill and Trevce, two tine seats, and soon afterwards obtained a pleas ing view of Limerick—its quays and warehouses, the shipping and Wellesley Bridge—the lofty tower of the Cathedral, and the buildings around it on King's lslandjeing conspicuous in the back ground. The impression co red by this view is not, however, commensurate with the size and importance of the town, comparatively little of which is embraced, from its being, for the most part, built on a nearly level site, but little elevated above the level of the river. A number of handsome seats line the shores on each side the stream below the town, and the freshness of the verdure Of the woods, lawns, and parterres that surround them, indi cate a purity of atmosphere rarely found in the immediate proximity of large towns, and impart a pleasing appearance of the ma in urbe. After threading our way through several vessels, anchored in the here spacious river, a few moments steaming brought us alongside of the steam company's wharf, near the southern termination of the line of quays. We ar rived a few minutes past eight o'clock, having performed the run from Tarbert (a distance of about 32 English miles) in two hours and forty-one minutes. The pier was crowded with spectators of all classes, who gave us joyous greeting, strong apprehensions for our safety having been entertained both here and at Kilrush ; the gales we had experienced have been severely felt in the west of Ireland, and particularly on the coasts of Kerry and Clare. A vast number of visiters carne on board during the day, including many ladies, and all were struck with the fine ap pearance of the vessel, albeit, her upper works were consi derably damaged and sea-beaten. So large and fine a steamer had not before been seen on the Shannon, and her spacious decks and elegant accommodations, became a matter of no little wonderment and admiration. On landing, for the first time since we left Liverpool, we observed the effects of the storm on the outward appearance of the ship ; her figure. head, representing Erin, was minus a portion of the helmet, and part of her head rails were carried away. The bulwarks and paddle-houses were also stripped of some of their board ing, and she presented on the whole, the appearance of a craft that had been roughly treated by the faithless sea, though her hull was sound and uninjured. Some repairs were con sequently necessary, and no inconsiderable application of the paint brush, so that she might make her debut on her des tined waters all trim and tight; and as these operations oc cupied a week, 1 had an opportunity, before accompanying her on her first trip, of rambling through the town and out skirts, and of enjoying an excursion down the Shannon by the Garry Owen, her sister ship, as well as of partaking, with Captain and Mrs. Christie of the frequent hospitality and kindness of Captain Kennedy, and his amiable lady and family. It was quite amusing to overhear William, the steward, who had assumed his accustomed sprightliness, and was well known to many of the visiters, recounting the "hair breath" scapes we had had by flood and wind, to anxious en quirers. He seasoned his narrative so strong with a spice of the marvellous, that but for his true Milesian dialect one might have taken him for a native of Yankee land.—" Sir," said he, to one, "do you see that foremast ?" "Sure I do," was the reply. "Do you see half way up it ?" " I do, William." " Then bad luck to me, sir, if a big thundering say did'nt many a time come clane over us as high as that fore and aft, and we were all drowned and kilt•entirely !" After a hearty breakfast on board, our first impulse was, of course, to write to our friends on the other side of the channel, a short intimation of our arrival after our boistrous passage, leaving any anxiety they might have entertained respecting us, to be dissipated by the reflexion that " All's well that ends well." The weather was exceeding fine, and the air temperate and calm for the season, during the greater part of my stay in the city. I frequently met my shipmates at the house of Captain Kennedy, who, indeed, throughout loaded us with the most hospitable attention. We immediately found that the pursuits of the naturalist had long occupied his leisure hours,—his neat and well-furnished domicile, replete with every comfort, partaking largely of the appearance of a museum. Handsome models of vessels, fully rigged and equipped, pictures, fossils, and articles of virtu, home and foreign, were arranged on the walls and tables of the larger room, and amongst other curiosities we noticed a slab of Irish marble, a vein through which, by some accidental freak of nature, which the superstitious might readily mistake for the handiwork of " the good people," or fairies, to whom tradition has assigned many a favourite and enchanted haunt in the neighbourhood,—presented a delineation of the stream of the Shannon for miles below the town, which would have done honour to an hydrographer of the last century ! A front room below, too, was converted into an aviary, with a large branching holly-tree in the centre, serving as a perch for a numerous and somewhat noisy collection of canaries, larks, linnets, and other small Britsh singing birds, who have the full range of the apartment, and fly about, singing and chirping with as much apparent happiness and good fellow ship as if the were at large in their native woodlands. Two fine parrots meantime kept up a friendly chat, in their way, in the adjoining parlour, and were only removed when, like learned doctors in disputation, they disagreed, and began to high words, and threatened to drown all conversation but their own, a monopoly to which even Sir R. Peel, whateVer his opinion of the corn and sugar questions, would give no toleration. I may add that every part of our friend's house was appropriated to some purpose of utility or ornament. The windows were shaded with flowers, and even under the arch, supporting the steps from the street to the door, we observed, some feet under the level of the ground, a shrub bery of evergreens and decorative plants, that flourish in the shade. AN IRISH WELCOME HOME On the evening of the day of our arrival, while a party of us were seated after dinner, enjoying ourselves at the hospi table board of the worthy commander of the Erin, we wit nessed one of those popular demonstrations in behalf of a respected object which are rarely to be met with in any country but Ireland, where the feelings of the people, always enthusiastic, acknowledge no cold and apathetic medium. All at once, and without any previous warning or intimation of what was coming, loud and increasing shouts, as of a party in the heat of a contested election, were heard ap proaching, and in a few moments, an immense crowd of men, women, and childen, headed by several men carrying a burn ing tarrel, the smoke of which spread in every direction, filled the street, and took up their station opposite the house, many of the men were armed with stout shilelahs, or pieces of wood. A circle was formed round the " beacon light," the flames of which now ascended to 'a considerable height, and shouts were sent up from new and old, with vehement expressions so commingled as to defy even a professor of " the unknown tongues" to define their import,—while fiddles, bagpipes, and horns were simultaneously put into requisition,—the whole forming (to the eye and ear of a stranger) an assemblage of so questionable and threatening a nature, that had an initiated English policeman beheld it, he would probably, in the first impulse, have knocked his stick on the flags for assistance, to quell the gathering riot, and sprung his rattle for the fire engines, in appre hension of adestructive conflagration! The ladies who had been delighting us with their gentle presence, retired to an upper room, as some of us at first supposed, in alarm. A few moments' observation, however, of the animated and cheerful visages of those without, convinced us that they came with no hostile intent, but that, on the contrary the purpose of their uproarious visit was to give mille fealtas, or " a thousand welcomes" home to our highly-esteemed and respected host, after the perils of his voyage. They had left two blazing tar barrels on the quay, opposite the ship, when " the procession" started, by way, (if I may so use the ex pression,) of a feu-de -joie. Anon, the shouts were .partly suspended, and three or four fiddlers, with a mixture of bag pipes and bugle horns, of each about an equal number—to make up the harmonic recipe—struck up a medley of reels, and gigs, and dancers, male and female, amongst who'll se veral stout young sailors, and others in blue jackets and Scotch bonnets, and pretty Limerick lasses, neatly attired, and with caps and shawls, were the most active. They footed it with considerable grace and agility, particularly the girls. The jolly good nature depicted in the swarthy coun tenances of the men, and the not less joyous, but more bashful smiles of the females, together with the occasional Irish shrug and kick up of the heels of the former, at the end of each reel, by way of emphatic finale, was quite ex hilirating. The natural anxiety of young and old, who were spectators, to see the dancers, (when they stood ready to re lieve) gradually constructed the ground of action ; and the dresses of the figurantes were frequently in danger of being ignited by the flames that now burst out from the lower part of the barrel, that served at once as the ball-room fire and the chandelier. This inconvenience was, however, re medied from time to time, by those with sticks, and more particularly by a man with a broad Milesian counte nance, the very picture of hilarity and good humour, who seizing a broken oar that had been employed in bearing the tar barrel to its still, whirled it about with the velocity of the wings of a windmill let loose in a gale, and without inflicting a blow that we could see, causing a general fall back, so that the reelcrs had again " ample room and verge enough." The rout was kept up with great spirit and perseverance until some time after dark, when the exhaustion of the conbustibles, as well as of the dancers, gave intimation that it was time to retire. My first impression was, that a portion at least of the enthusiasm displayed was inspired by potations of the ardent beverage of the country ; but in this I was undeceived. There were few among them who were not disciples of " Father Mathew," who bad visited this part of the country, and succeeded in redeeming vast numbers of the population to total abstinence. The few who were still addicted to strong drinks made no de. eieiviePetlt en su and for allowance, and were quite contented with a small l 'o e re tn w att itn w e i s i s o e s d e a k n in l d ri , sh to drink the health of our worthy entertainer.

The city is of great antiquity, having long been the capital of the kings of Limerick, the last of whom, Donnell O'Brien, died in 1194. It then fell into the hands of the English, and though again taken from them in 1198, it was shortly after recovered, and after some vicissitudes finally fortified by King John, who erected the pile, still known, though in ruins, as " King John's Castle," otherwise " Limerick Castle." The town, like others in Ireland of - any considerable magnitude, is divided into " English Town" and " Irish Town ;" and there are also two suburban divi sions of more modern date, known as Newtown Pery and Garry Owen. The English Town, (which contains the most amount of the public buildings,) stands on the south portion of the " King's Island," which is formed by a division of the Shannon into two branches, half a mile above the town, and the re-union of those branches below, the smaller of which on the east is called •Salmon Wear River, or by some Abbey River. There is also a rural suburb of considerable extent and population on the Clare side-of the Shannon. The Irish town is for the most part of modern structure, and contains many handsome streets, together with several new squares, crescents, and public buildings; and the principal thorough fares present an air of liveliness, wealth, and prosperity, which forms a striking contrast with the more ancient por tions of the city which is confined, dingy, and dirty,—the abodes generally of poverty and wretchedness. Like most large Irish places, Limerick exhibits to a considerable extent the extremes of splendour and destitution, yet it is rapidly progressing in improvement; and were the navigation of the Shannon facilitated to a degree commensurate with its capa bilities, it would soon become one of the finest and most thriving cities in the kingdom. George's-street, (continuous with Patrick-street,) in the Irish Town, and the streets running parallel to, and at right angles with it, from the quays eastward, are inferior to few of the best of those in our English towns. The houses are of commanding elevation, of neat brick- work or stone ; and the shops, inns, newsrooms, &c., are all well supplied, large and elegant. The town has been much benefitted by the enterprise of the Limerick merchants and manufacturers; the former engaged chiefly in the corn and provision trade with London ; the latter celebrated for a superior and beau tiful manufacture of lace. Another staple is fishing hooks, considered the best in the world, both in form and temper. At the extensive curing establishment of Mr. Russel, there are annually salted about 50,000 pigs, and 2000 head of cattle. There are three great manufacturies, who give employment to 1709 females. • The town until of late was also celebrated for its manufacture of gloves, of so fine a quality of leather and workmanship that a pair could frequently be packed in a walnut shell; but this branch of industry has wofully de -1 clined, and the trade has been principally taken up in Cork. I Nevertheless, the trade in corn, and provisions generally, • and the manufactures noticed, as well as others of minor ac count, give employment to thousands, and have tended in a gratifying degree to promote indistrious and domestic habits amongst the poorer classes. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The most remarkable of the ancient edifices, in the eyes of strangers, is " King John's Castle," (before adverted to) close to the eastern entrance of Thomond Bridge. The old bridge has recently given way to a new one, a fine lime-stone structure, of more modern style than its predecessor. It consists of five fine arches. The Castle, built by King John, in 1210, is now a venerable ruin, little more remaining than portions of the outward walls, and three dilapidated round towers. By ascending, by means of a crazy ladder, and afterwards scrambling up broken portions of the walls, which are'overgrown with tufts of slippery grass and weeds, I reached the summit of the highest tower, whence the Shannon and the Clare mountains, including Cratloe woods, present a de lightful and extensive landscape. The tower appears to be from 20 to 24 feet in diameter, and the walls at the top 3 paces in thickness. Our forefathers liked to do things sub stantially, but neglect, and the merciless hand of time, has defied even their strong efforts at perpetuation. I was afterwards politely shown by the Barrack-master (for there is a barrack within the walls) to the top of a lower tower, the base of which is washed by the river. The upper floor or platform of this tower is still perfect, being flagged and supported by stone arch-work below, in the form of an inverted bowl. It is railed round and covered with grass and flowers, saving with a few posts, and a rude railing round it, for the drying of clothes. The roar of waters of the Shannon through the bridge, and over a mill dam near it, here falls upon the ear with a refreshinz, but melancholy sound, and preposesses the spectator's mind for a calmer contemplation of the objects of interest around him. The cathedral near by, is a heavy gothic structure, rather disfigured by irregularly-sized lateral windows. The square tower is of great height, and terminates in four square tur rets—one at each corner. The visitor who ascends it obtains the highest elevation the city affords ; and the view for many miles round is proportionably extensive and magnificeat,— embracing the whole of the great plain on the margin of which stands the city, windings far and near of the mighty Shannon, and its verdant and finely wooded banks. Further northward is St. Munchin's Church, a handsome gothic edifice, recently rebuilt, with a tower. Seen from the river below, rising over the adjacent buildings, this is a pro minent and pleasing object. Wellesley Bridge, below Thomond Bridge, is the finest of ;the kind belonging to the city. It is an elegant specimen of bridge architecture, of fine-hewn lime-stone, with five de pressed or segmental arches of great span, surmounted by a handsome balustrade. The County Court-house is a neat, modern, stone building, on Merchants'-quay, with a colonnade of ionic columns in front ; near it is the City Gaol. In the Irish Town there are several fine, modern buildings. In the centre of the New Square, which is well laid out as a pleasure-ground, is a handsome, Doric, fluted column, sur mounted by a statue. This was erected by the citizens as a testimonial of gratitude and respect to the Right Hon. T. Spring Rice, Esq., (now Lord Monteagle,) for his services to the town. The noble lord has since, however, fallen. some how or other, into bad odour with the inhabitants ge nerally, and the monument is not regarded with any high feelings of respect. In the environs, on the Cork Road, are the County Hos pital and the District Lunatic Asylum, both noble and ex tensive institutions, well worthy of inspection. Here too, is the County Gaol built in the usual form, the buildings ra diating from the keeper's house, with a view to a better sur veillance. _ _ Barringtons' Hospital, or City Infirmary, erected and founded by Sir Joseph Barrington and his three sons, in 1829, for the relief of the poor of their native city, is also a fine institution ; but, though it is the only city infirmary, it is inadequately supported. The Mont-de-Pike, or Charitable Pawn-office, is one of the most interesting institutions in the city. It was erected under the auspices of Matthew Barrington, Esq., one of the builders of the hospital just noticed, and with the double view of better maintaining that establishment, and benefit ting the needy. This handsome building' is of stone, with a collonade in front, and a circular centre-piece with windows round it, and surmounted by a cupola. In common with similarly-named establishments in France, its principal ob ject is to relieve the temporary wants of the poor by advanc ing money on pledges, at a lower rate than is charged by the pawnbrokers ; the profits, after paying the interest of the capital and expenses, to be devoted to the use of the persons from whom they are derived. No charge is here made for tickets, and this, together with the reduction of the interest, effects our immense savings annually to the necessitous of the city. In the item of tickets alone the sum of £2431 was saved in four years ! The immediate destination of the pro fits of this particular establishment is the support of Bar rington's Hospital, and its funds are in a flourishing condi tion. From the example here furnished by the philanthropic Barrington, similar institutions have been established in many of the larger towns in Ireland, and others are in con templation. (The neighbourhood of Limerick and the Shannon in our next.) SKERRIES LIGHTHOUSE SHERIFF ' S COURT, BEAUMARIS-IMPORTANT ADJUDI- CATION A precept having been issued to the high sheriff of An glesey, Richard Trygarn Griffith, Esq., a court of inquiry was opened at the Shirehall, Beaumaris, on the morning of Monday week, the 26th inst., before the said sheriff, and Mr. Earle, barrister, as assessor. in order to adjudicate be tween the owners of the Skerries Rock and Lighthouse, and the Trinity Board, by deciding what sum of money would be a fair and equitable remuneration for the compulsory sale and transfer of the said lighthouse and its tolls, pursuant to a recent act of the legislature, authorising and empowering the board to purchase and take into its own keeping and government the various lighthouses on the shores of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The inquiry was one of considerable importance, involving property to the amount of several hundred thousand pounds. For the claimants (the owners of the lighthouse as de scendants and residuary legatees of the late Morgan Jones, Esq.), the Attorney-General Sir Thomas Vv - ylde, Mr. Fitz roy Kelly, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Vaughan Williams, were retained as counsel; and for the Trinity Board appeared Sir Frederick Pollock, Sir William Follett, Mr. Cresswell, and Mr. Frederick Roby. The precept having been read, and a special jury sworn, The Attorney-General addressed the jury at great length on behalf of the owners, and produced witnesses to show that the property had been steadi:y increasing in value from 1828, in which year the income derived from the tolls was £ll,BlO, to 1840, when the net income was £20,226 Ils. 5d., and contended that such a property was entitled to be esti mated at thirty years' purchase, at the net income of last year. Sir Frederick Pollock, on behalf of the Trinity Board, proved that, some years since the erection of the lighthouse, there had been a falling-off in the income, in consequence of a non. intercourse between this country and Berlin,and argued that, as the pathway of commerce was not so fixed and permanent as to,create a sure dependency on the perpetuity of this source of income, twenty years pur chase would be an ample remuneration, taking the average income of a large number of years. The learned assessor briefly put the case before the jury, who, in less than an hour, returned a verdict for the claimants—value £44-1,984 1 ls. 2d., being the amount of the last year's income, £20,226 lls. sd. at twenty-two years' purchase. STATE OF TRADE MANCH ISSTER. - -Some excitement was created in this town on Monday morning, by the announcement of the failure of the long-established and well-known house of Messrs. Saml. Stocks and Son, manufacturers and merchants, of Heaton Mersey, and of this town ; against whom, we believe, a fiat in bankruptcy has been issued. Messrs. Stocks and Son were, a few years ago, cotton spinners as well as manufac turers; but their spinning mill having been destroyed by fire, they had ceased to spin, and purchased yarns for the supply of their looms. They were also extensive purchasers of manufactured goods for export. We understand that the amount of their engagements is something under £BO,OOO. The necessary effect of this failure was to throw a very seri ous damp upon the market yesterday ; and its effect was in creased by the unpromising appearance of the weather, which, after two tolerably fine days, showed manifest symp toms of deterioration. Under these circumstances, it was not surprising that the market should be, as in fact it was, one of the worst, if not the very worst, of the present year. For manufactured goods. indeed, there was literally no demand ; and the few sales made were at a serious reduction of prices. For yarn,. the market was not quite so unfavourable ; and some business was done, though with difficulty, and at gra dually declining prices. We are glad to state, however, that with the exception of two small concerns at Blackburn, no additional failures were announced ; and a mischievous ru mour of that nature, which was circulated through the town i n the morning,„was ascertained to be entirely unfounded. ROCH EDAL FLA'CNEL MARKET, AUG. 2. The market to-day has been quite equal to that of last Monday. There has been a brisk demand for tlaiinels,7and m an y h ave been sold at rather better prices. Besides the merchants, there have been several of the large manufacturers to-day in the market, who have bought rather largely. Th e stoc k s on hand have been co nsiderabl y diminished the last month ; but July, August, and September, are generally the best months in the year for the Blackwater market. Wool still maintains its price, but the manufacturers , have bought very sparingly. HUDDERSFIELD, AUG. 3.—The demand for m iddl e and low-priced woollens, both plain and fancy, was tolerably brisk to-day ; prices however have not improved. In super fines there was little done.. In light fancies there was l ess complaint. Wools are firm. Business in the ware h ouses has not undergone any material change. The American ladies are all of royal blood; for the people are the sovereign, an d they are the daughters-of the people. MISCELLANEOUS A machine has been invented by a person named Bahia, to apply printing to railway telegraphic communications. The authorities of Eton College have determined to place a bust, executed by one of the most celebrated sculptors, of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, in the Upper School. Mr. Cornelius O'Brien, M.P., is the only Irish solicitor in the House of Commons. There is not a'single medical man in the present parliament, -with the exception of Mr. Wakley, the editor of the Lancet. He is not a physician, strictly speaking. The profession was not represented in parliament since 1837, when Dr. Baldwin had a seat. There is no foundation for the paragraph which has gone the round of the newspapers, announcing that Mr. Brunel is about to perform a match from Bristol to London, by the Hurricane, within two hours, for £lOOO. The Conservatives of South Derbyshire dined together at Derby, on Tuesday, to celebrate their recent triumph over Whig fraud and intimidation at the recent election, in the return of Messrs. Mundy and Colville. Sir F. Burdett presided. - - - A strong representation has been made to Government, and 'an investigation demanded, for an inquiry into the con duct of Mr. Smith, the stipendiary magistrate, stationed at Mallow during the disgraceful contest for that borough at the late election, a great want of precaution and energy being the charge alleged against that gentleman. STOTFIELD LIGHTHOUSE. — HOLYMAN'S SCARES. — Th commissioners of the northern lights are now proceeding with the preliminary steps towards the erection of a light house for the protection of the mariner against those dan gerous rocks lying about one mile off the shores of the Moray Frith between the harbours of Burghead and Lossiemouth. ASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT.—The following is a copy of Lord John Russell's circular to the liberal members of parliament, which puts an end to rumours of all previous resignation by ministers - " Downing-street, July 31, 184]. " Sir—As upon the meeting of parliament, on Thursday, the 19th of August, the House of Commons will immediately proceed to the choice of a speaker, and to the consideration of business of the highest importance, I take the liberty of earnestly requesting your attendance on that day.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient, faithful servant, " JOHN RUSSELL. " The result of careful inquiry as to the probable condition of the ensuing harvest is most satisfactory. In those parts of the country where the crop was reported to have been thin, the fulness of the kerning has been such as not only to dissipate all apprehension as to quantity, but also affords the most rejoicing promise in respect of its quality. Every de scription of corn presents the like gratifying appearance. Potatoes, from the fast rains we have had, will necessarily be d hevy produce. Mangelwurzel will be a prodigious crop. Apples will be about half an average bearing. The late showery weather has impeded the completion of the hay harvest, but very little of the crop has as yet been damaged. --Sontersetshire paper. THE WEATHER.-Up to the commencement of the pre sent week, very little hay-grass has been cut, owing to the long-continued wet weather, in the western and north western parts of this riding; but since then the harvest has gone on briskly and successfully ; the quantity abundant ; the quality excellent. In some places the grain crops, par ticularly wheat, were extensively laid by the rain ; the sun and the breeze of the present week, however, have done much towards restoring them. Barley is very fine ; so are beans, potatoes, turnips, &c. There is. indeed, a 'rich pro mise of abundance of all kinds.—Leeds hztelligencer. The Carlow Sentinel of Saturday, after describing a newly invented pike, which are openly exhibited without attracting notice, and thousands of which are in progress of manufac ture, says,—" At the late borough election, about three hun dred men on footand on horseback marched through Carlow, bearing these poles with concealed pikes, preceded by a cha pel band ! ! We are not called upon to express any opinion at present on this discovery, beyond the fact that Mr. O'Con nell was aware of the contemplated insurrection on the 12th July, and sent an express to Col. Jackson to check the pro gress of the pikemen, being apprehensive that if they came into collision with the military, his own life might pay the forfeit. The pike we have seen was employed by one of a party of insurgents from Kilkenny, which was commanded by a priest." THE PLEASURES OF PATRONAGE.—A member of Mr. Maule's Committee, residing within a few miles of Perth, complained the other day to the right honourable gentleman that his prominent connexion with his cause subjected him to a very annoying inconvenience. His house was beset hourly by persons claiming his influence with Mr. Manic, and asking him to sign recommendations to his notice and applications for situations in the penitentiary or the excise. There were many of these promised during the late canvass; but still the recommendations by influential members of the election committee are considered of much importance. The gentleman alluded to, in his perplexity, asked Mr. Maule seriously what he should do? Mr. Maule replied—" My dear sir, I'll tell you what to do, and you will find it quite easy,; say little and sign them all.—Perth Constitutional. A RAT BARRACK.—Mr. Russell, the eminent provision merchant of Limerick, has a " rat barrack" on these pre mises. It is about twelve feet long and six feet broad, and the walls about four feet high, with a coping -stone on the top, that projects a couple of feet inside the wall—the inside of the wall is full of holes that just admits a rat's body, leaving his tail outside—the whole is covered with old boards ; there are two passages for them to come outside into the yard, where they are fed and never disturbed ; the conse quence is, they never go into his store where the bacon is— once every three months he closes the holes that communi cate with the yard—he uncovers the walls, and the rats all run into the holes in the walls ; their tails are " hanging out," when a man goes in, takes them one by one by the tails, and throws them into a barrel, when they are all de stroyed, to leave room for a fresh supply. SIGNIFICANT (CIRCUMSTANCE.—The intelligence from India brought by the last mail, meagre and incomplete as it is, suggests very painful anticipations for the tranquility and safety of a portion of the British empire, for:which I am pe culiarly interested—l mean our Indian possessions. It sug gests to me the necessity for making known a circumstance of a very significant character that has occurred here. Towards ;Le close of last year there arrived in Paris from IndiS: a General Harland, who had been Aide-de-Camp and Chief of the Staff to Dost Mohammed during a considerable time, and had had under his command a corp; of 10,000 men. He is deemed a man of talent and of unbounded knowledge in Indian affairs. General Harland is an American, who arrived some five-and-twenty years ago in India in the capa city of a first surgeon, and was subsequently employed by the East India Company. It is not necessary that I trace him up to his attaining the rank above-mentioned, but I shall observe that his arrival here last Winter (or Autumn) created some sensation, as the object of his visit was suspected, and indeed said to be a political one. Like all American citizens of respectability, he was introduced to King Lomis Philippe by General Cass, the American Minister, and received with distinction. He wqs also said to have had much communi cation with M. Thiers (then Prime Minister of France), and with Count Pahlen ' on—it is hardly n ec e s sa r y th a t I sa y — the subject of British dominion in India. The correctness or incorrectness of this latter on dit, though convinced of its exactitude, I am not in a condition to prove, but this I can aver, on unquestionable authority, that General Harland has, at the special invitation of the Russian Government, pro ceeded to St. Petersburgh.—Times Correspondent. APPLICATION OF THE TIDES AND WAVES AS A MO ING POWER.—A correspondent of the Mechanic's Maga zine, gives the following description of a simple contrivance, about being erected near Brixham, Devonshire, by a Mr. Prior, for the purpose of raising water for washing ore, and which promises to be a great and general benefit. Mr. Prior has succeeded in obtaining a motion to work a pump, by the action of the tide and waves. Two pieces of timber are laid out into the sea in a slanting direction as far as low-water mark, and are strongly secured by iron-work to the rocks ; these timbers are about four feet asunder, having a groove in each. A strong cask, having two gudgeons, slides up and down in these grooves, so that the least motion of the waves causes the cask to rise and fall. Attached to the centre of the cask there is an eye of iron, into which a chain is fixed that runs over the pulley, and is attached to the bucket of a pump of large dimensions. The bucket of this pump is of sufficient weight to sink of itself, keeping the chain tight, having room enough to traverse, so as to allow for the rising and falling of the tides ; the cask is about half filled with stone, so as to counteract its buoyancy. If worked upon a larger scale, an immense body of water might, it is calcu lated, be raised to any height by this power, and being caught in reservoirs could be made applicable to drive any sort of machinery by means of water-wheels. OPINION OF THE PARIS PRESS UPON THE MACLEOD CASE.—The Paris papers contend that the honour of Great Britain is compromised by the notification of Mr. Fox that the British Government would not move in the affair until the result should become known. This is not all, however. A case which occurred in this city in 1802 has been placed before me, to show that " the weak Government of Mr. Ad dington" acted in a different spirit in analagous circum stances. " During the peace of Amiens," said my inform ant, " Captain, afterwards Admiral D'Auvergne, a British officer, who commanded in Jersey during the war just con cluded, arrived here (Paris) to make some claim. He was arrested by order of Bonaparte, on a charge of having been concerned in sending over to France emissaries to assassinate him (Bonaparte.) Immediately on the circumstance reach ing the ears of Mr. Addington, he ordered Mr. Merry, the then British ambassador in Paris, to demand his passports in 24 hours, should Captain D'Auvergue be not released. This notification of the weak Government of Mr. Addington' had its effect. Captain D'Auvergne was instantly released, but, as was competent to the French Government, was com pelled to proceed to Calais under an escort of two gend'armes. and to embark for England.—Times Correspondent. A HARD CASE.—A few days ago a somewhat whimsical circumstance occurred on the banks of the Clyde at the pub lic green. A gentleman went into the river to bathe, and at the same time a person who had very much the appearance of not having been washed for this season at least, was plunging about in te water. In a short time the latter moved sud denly to the bank, and arraying himself in the gentleman's clothes, walked off at a rapid rate across the green, without casting even one lingering look at the bundle of rags he had left behind, and which, for want of betler, had a short time before, served him as clothing. By and bye, the gentleman, who had had a most delectable bath, left the water, and hur ried to his garments ; but his astonishment may be conceived when, instead of the gay and comfortable clothing of which he had denuded himself, he found a dirty tattered suit, scarcely worth sixpence—a jacket miserably out at the elbows, and a pair of trousers so ragged, that it would almost have required a chart to get into them. He held up the greasy in expressibles, and stared through them with a look of amaze ment, which had in it so much of the ridiculous, as to create no small amusement to some people who were spectators of the scene. But there was no help forit ; a man shivcring on the banks of the Clyde, w ill b e glad to draw to any habili ments, however poor they may be ; and the gentleman in the present case formed no exception—he was fain to put on the wretched suit which the kindness of the thief had left for his use, and hastened into town with as much speed as might be, mos completely disguised from any friends he might chance to meet, by the novelty of his costume. — Glasgow Argus.. LAUNCH OF THE HINDOSTAN.—Her Majesty's ship Hin pperrefloimrmineadrybefore a operation large of dostan was launched on Mond a y from the dock yard at Dc vonport. At eight o'clock the lifting the ship by wedges was assembly of members of the British Association. The Hin dostan is a teak-built ship, the frame timbers of which were converted in India and sent home. She has been thirteen years in construction, having been laid down in August, 1828, and was originally intended to be an 80-gun ship, but for the new scale of armament for the British navy which was esta blished in February, 1832. The length from the fore part of the figurehead to the after part of the taffrail is 217 feet 11 inches ; length of the gun-deck, 185 feet 8 inches ; extreme breadth, 50 feet 10 inches ; extreme height of figurehead above the lower part of the false keel 47 feet 4 inches; ex treme height of the taffrail above ditto 53 feet 9 inches ; depth in hold 21 feet and three-quarters of an i nc h. H er burden is 2050 tons ; her weight when launched 1606 tons, and her weight when completely equipped for sea 3213 tons. The disposition of her armament is as follows :—Gun-decks 30 guns, 4 of which will throw holl ow shot o f 561 b. weight, or sells of eight inch diameter, the remaining 26 being 32- pounder guns •, on the main deck 32 guns, 2 - of which are for 561 b. hollow shot; and on the quarter deck and forecastle 16 guns, of which 4 will be 32-poun ders, and the rem a i n i ng 12 will be 32-pounder carronades. The ports are 7 feet G inches apart, the width of ports 3 feet 4 inches each, and the total distance of the guns from each other is 10 feet I 0 inches, with one exception, at the gangway entrance, where the ports are 18 inches further apart than elsewhere. The launch was most successful. Mifpping fettellicsztire.

AN ACCOUNT OF CATTLE IMPORTED Into Liverpool, from the 27th ult. to the 2nd inst., inclusive. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AuG. 3 (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 5- Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Graiu, Flour, and Oatmeal, have been very moderate from Ireland and Coastways, but they con tinue to a fair extent from foreign ports. The weather during the past week has been stormy and unset tled, with rain in the nights, and unseasonably cold ; exciting some alarm for the fate of the crops, and giving a prospect of a late and precarious harvest ;—we have in consequence experienced a pretty steady demand for Wheat and Flour, free and in bond, at a further increase in prices of 2d to 3d per 70 lb on the former, and of is per barrel and per sack on the latter, and many parcels have been with drawn for the present sale; every other article in the Cern Trade has participated a little in this improvement in demand and prices. Tlie duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports has declined 1 s per quarter, on Flour 74d per barrel, and on Rye and Peas is 6d per quarter on Friday last ; and on Peas from British Colonies it has declitled to 6d per quarter ; there seems no doubt that in two or 3 weeks the duty on Wheat and Flour from Canada, and from all other British Colonies, will be at the lowest rates, (Id per quarter. and 4d per barrel;) and many very confidently anticipate an almost similar reduction in the duties on Grain from foreign ports in Semptember, which has caused very considerable parcels in bond and on the passage to have recently changed hands. In our circular of the 22d July, 1828, giving a brief of the Corn Laws then passed, we made a remark which has often been veri fied since—that by the practical working of the averages, the prices of good English Wheat here would be lOs Id to 115 per 70 lb, or 745 to 775 per quarter for several weeks before Foreign Wheat or Flour could be admitted for home use at any reasonable duty ; our prices for such are now • lOs gd to lls 4d per 70 lb, and the duty 22s ad per quarter !—virtually prohibitory ! with about 600,000 quarters of Wheat in bond in the United Kingdom thus withheld from home consumption. By an estimate of the stocks of Grain now here free for home use, made it is believed pretty accurately,—there are 28,000 qrs. of Wheat and- about 18,300 barrels of Flour, (exclusive of Canadian in bond) about 8800 quarters of Oats, about 28,000 loads of Oatmeal, and about 5000 quarters of Beaus ; a very small stock ! even if a little underrated to stand against a late and dubious harvest ! In bond here we have about 98,000 quarters of Foreign and 5000 qrs. Canadian Wheat; about 140;000 barrels of Foreign and about 28,000 barrels of Canadian Flour; 11,000 qrs. of Oats ; about 8000 qrs. of Peas; and about 30,000 qrs. of Beans, chiefly Egyptian. At this day's market sales to a moderate extent were made of every article in the Corn trade at the advance above noted, and quoted as correctly as possible in our prices current below; the the temperature is becoming much warmer and seasonable.
