SKETCHES OF THE RIVER SHANNON• WITH AN ACCOUNT OF A TRIP BY STEAM FROM LIVERPOOL TO LINIERICK BY A STRANGER IN IRELAND (FOR THE LIVERPOOL STAN DARD PREFATORY ADDRESS of New Brighton and its raangons 4retehipg aloe the sand , hills on the north-east corner of tia Wirral Peninsula. The tide being low, the Great Burbo Bank showed like an island. On its crown, part of the ribs and iron-work cf the " Superb" steamer, wrecked there about ten years ago, rose in black fragments, like the skeleton of some stranded Leviathan. The Medina, mail steam-ship, of 320 horse-power, started from Liverpool soon after us, and notwithstandiag her greatly superior force of engines, we kept welt up with her for many hours. At half-past six we passed the " Queen " steamer, and showed our eotours a green flag at the main with the name of the ship, and a blue flag at the fore with her number in white letters. Bidston and Hoylake now looked beautiful in the sun, the latter, with its white houses, appearing like a little town. In an hour and thirty-seven minutes, though the tide was against us, we passed the Bell Buoy, a distance from the town of fif teen miles. The wind being fair for standing to the west ward, we had set all sail. Tile town, meantime, had gradually died from view, and the low cloud of haze and smoke that hung over it was all that indicated to the spectator that there lay. now silent in the distance, a magnificent town with an immense and busy population—a sea-port unequalled, for its extent, in wealth, industry, and enterprise, and which sent forth her daily fleets to every part of the globe, furrowing up the bosom of old Ocean, and, as it were, peopling it far and wide, with a constant succession of hardy tars, and adven tures iu the world of commerce, under " Tbat flag that, for a thousand years, Has braved the battle and the breeze." So many works have of late years been, and continue to be, issued from the press, descriptive of Ireland, many of them by talented writers, who have acquired a minute knowledge of its localities, and not a few of them embellished with tine engravings, that it may appear presurn?tive in a humble in dividual, who has obtained little more than a transitory glance of a part of that interesting country, to submit to the public his necessarily hasty, and, it may be, somewhat imperfect impressions. With a view, therefore, to conciliate the kind consideration of thOse who may peruse these simple sketches, it behoves me to enumerate the motives that have led to the perilous adventure, in so critical an age, of plaeing them before the public. In the first place, several of my friends and acquaintances, whose opinions are entitled to my re spect, and whose inquiries relative to my recent short sojourn in " The Emerald Isle," drew from me a brief oral account of what I had seen and felt, have been pleased to opine that a brief description of the Shannon, as I found it, would be acceptable, inasmuch as, notwithstanding all that had been written on the subject, the British public were generally but little acquainted with that noble river, and would peruse a few slight sketches of its beauties and capabilities—" written in my accustomed slap-dash style"— though they would shrink from a voluminous, elaborate, and learned detail. There was in this expression of opinion, no doubt, considerable flattery on their part, and, to be influenced by it alone, would evince no little vanity on mine. But I am actuated by inducements of a less questionable nature. As an Englishman, and, strictly speaking, " A stranger in Ireland," I visited the Shannon with expectations not a little elevated by what I had heard and read ; and, so far from being disappointed, as is generally the result in such cases, my most sanguine expectations were more than realised. I beheld that noble stream, and its beautiful and diversified shores, with feelings of comingled admiration and regret ; admiration of its extent and capabilities for the amelioration of the immense population on its borders,—and regret that, where so much , had been accomplished by nature, so little (either from a narrow and mistaken policy, or from less blameless causes), had been achieved by art—so little to render it available for those purposes of intercourse and profitable commerce—the grand pioneers of civilization and refine ment—for which Providence designed it, and which, if libe rally pursued, would render it the means of diffusing wealth, comfort, and contentment over a vast and abounding terri tory, where disaffection now rears its head, and of which, with some comparative exceptions, it may mournfully be said — "The cheerless night of desolation reigns " few and far between, ith these impressions, 1 felt that I should be doing violence to my own feelings, as well as injustice to the gene rosity of my countrymen, if I did not endeavour to draw attention to the Shannon, its unequalled scenery, and its capability of improvement as the main and vivifying artery of Ireland ; and in doing so I submit my remarks, not in the assumptive spirit of one who has studied and mastered the subject before him, but simply with a view to excite towards it the attention of others who are more competent to its elu cidation, and whose influence and talent, exerted in behalf of Ireland, ma; enable them to " redeem the time" that for ages has been lost, by the impolitic, and I apprehend, culpa ble neglect of one of the finest rivers in Europe. lam aware that an ordnance survey of the stream and its banks, under the auspices of government, is now in progress of comple tion, and that considerable improvements are in contempla tion ; but these will fall far short of the requirements which prudence and humanity imperatively dictate, if the feelings of the British public be not roused to urge on, and assist in, a work which, independently of local advantages, would ma terially augment our national resourses, add to our supplies of the necessaries and comforts of life from our own soil, conduce to the consolidation of our power and independence as a state, and confer the most lasting and important be nefits on both countries. Had the Shannon flowed in its long and available course through an equal extent of the hills and vallies of England, its banks, instead of exhibiting a comparatively few isolated maniocs, many of them deserted by their owners, and hearing an aspect almost as desolate and sombre as the ruins of the once stately strongholds of feudal times that bristle around them ; in place of these, and of the miserable mud-built hovels peopled by the impoverished and destitute peasantry, scattered promiscuously over the surface of the prolific coil, we should have beheld gorgeous cities—palacial edifices, the abodes of ease, elegance, and hospitality—and comfortable homesteads—in fine, a resident gentry, and a happy and well-affected population. It is not, however, too late to correct the errors of the past ; and much may be accomplished even in comparatively a few years by Improving the stream of the Shannon, and constructing suitable quays and approaches oo its shores, whether by go vernment, or a combination of public and private enterprise directed, to effect a consummation so devoutly to be wished, not only for the welfare of Ireland, but for that of the whole British empire. I have yet another motive to assign for acceding to the flattering solicitations of my friends. I found the people of Ireland, both rich and poor, so truly hospitable that, as has been elegantly expressed by a Scottish bard of the High landers of his country, it may be said that amongst them, too, " Stranger is a holy name." The most disinterested generosity and kindness, amounting to even a constant en deavour not only to oblige, but to anticipate one's every wish, is the characteristic of the better orders of Irish ; and this feeling is so universal that its exercise is scarcely deemed a virtue. I have no mode of expressing my gratitude, but through the little incidents recorded in these sketches, to those to whom I am indebted for these offices of unexpected friendship, to whose merits I am inadequate to do justice, and who would repudiate all direct personal acknowledgment as approaching to an affront. Such is my apology, courteous reader, for this adventure. May it be sufficient to ensure thy forbearance ! The sketch of the voyage by sea to Limerick is introduced with a view to give variety to the narrative, to convey some idea of the dangers, as a lee shore, of the west coast of Ireland, which is little frequented by vessels from this port, and, with the brief concluding account of my return to Liverpool by the Upper Shannon and Dublin, to complete the trip " out and home."

Having been invited to accompany the new steam-ship Erin-go-Bragh, from Liverpool to the Shannon, on which she was intended to ply, I embarked at the Clarence dock, on the evening of Wednesday, the 21st of April. It was high water, and after leaving the dock we stood down the river and anchored for the night off the Magazines, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, preparatory to an early start in the morning. I found the vessel in command (for the voyage) of a friend and former shipmate, Captain Christie, a young man who was first officer of the " Liverpool" steam-ship, on her several trips to and from New York, and still in the service of the company to which she and the Erin-go-Bragh belong. This was to me, and to others on board, a great gra tification, not from any expectation of meeting with such weather, at so advanced a season of the year, as would call into critical action his acknowledged abilities, but from the pleasure we promised ourselves as the guests of a gentleman of that amenity of manners which is generally, and in this instance peculiarly, the characteristic of the generous and fearless British seamen. The Erin (for I must briefly describe her), is a finely mo delled first-class iron ves se l, o f 134 f ee t in length, by 26 in beam, and admeasuring about 330 tons, on a draft of water suited for the Shannon, of little more than 5i feet. She was built by Messrs. Page and Grantham ; and the engines, of 100 horse-power, by Messrs. Mather, Dixon, and Co., of this port ; and the quality of each, severely tested, as they were on their first " outward" voyage, reflects the greatest credit upon both. She is schooner rigzed, with a fore topsail, has a figure-head, representing Erin, with quarter galleries and curved stern to correspond, and appears very handsome in the water. Her standing rigging is of iron wire, on Mr. Smith's patent principle, and first introduced here by Mr. J. C. Shaw the marine manager of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, under whose able superintendence the vessel was fitted up from keel to mast-head. The principal cabin occupies the full breadth of the vessel abaft—no sleep ing-rooms for passengers being required—and there is a spacious ladies' retiring room, captain's room, &c., the whole lighted by circular dome or deck•lights, and also by large port windows in the sides and stern, from which the passengers below may, in cold or wet weather, obtain views of the scenery without,—an advantage highly appreciated by the voyagers along the beautiful shores of the Shannon. The saloon is fitted round with with fixture sofas, of ample dimensions ; the sides are neatly empanelled and painted in imitation of choice woods, and the roof is ornamented and painted in delicate tints to correspond. The Erin has a spa cious raised quarter-deck, which gives a commanding eleva tion to those upon it, and at the same time renders the cabin accommodationg more retired and select. There is also a large cabin forward for deck passengers, with seats for 100 individuals, and the minor arrangements throughout are such as to insure comfort and convenience. As the object of the voyage was merely to carry the vessel to her destination, there were but five cabin passengers, or rather guests of the commander, namely—Mr. Christee, his amiable lady, who occupied the lady's cabin, Capt. Kennedy, who had long run a steam-boat on the Shannon, and for whom the vessel was built, Mr. Tall, and Mr. Chadwick, gentlemen in the employ of the company, the former one of the celebrated divers who had recovered portions of the wreck and materials of the Royal George, and other vessels, and the writer,—forming a small but agreeable party, with abundance of elbow-room in the large and handsome saloon. The crew (exclusive of the captain) consisted of nineteen, — mate, steward, carpenter and assistant, two engineers, six blue jackets, and seven firemen,—making a total of twenty six. After some slight refreshment, a short chat and a walk on the quarter deck—whence the numerous gas-lamps on both sides of the river showed as brilliantly as an illumination in the days of the gallant Nelson—we retired to rest, the broad sofa seats of the saloon, with suitable adjuncts, forming excellent substitutes for regular berths. Soon after daylight on the following morning the anchor was weighed, and at thirty-five minutes past five o'clock we proceeded seward by the Victoria Channel. The weather was clear, with a gentle breeze from the N.E., and the bosom of old Mersey presented an interesting appearance, though not yet animated by vessels in motion. No fewer than fifteen schooners and sloops, besides steam-boats, lay at anchor, or on the beach between the Magazines and New Brighton,— higher up, as far as the Hock Ferry, the stream was studded with large ships, barks, brigs, steamers, and craft of minor degree, and if to these were added numerous coaster in the Sloyne, and at the bottom of Wallasey Pool, opposite the town ; the whole would form no inconsiderable beet. Yet of these were but the scattered . outskirts of our vast tows, ships, of which our docks within t he sea wall form the citadel The early smoke of the steam-boats betokened preparation; for the operations of the day. The haze that hung over the town left visible little wore than ~t he spires, domes, towers, loftier buildings, and intervening' forests of masts that skirted carts, s basin an ofd theth e s y t e r t e ai indistinct i t s o t t i the the river, and shrouded the ample south. The rolling of distant car but increasing hum of trade, maritime metropolis already fell lightly on the ear, indicating that ere long the whole of ou r of the west would be involved in the turmoil active trade. On the Cheshire side, turmoil and bustle of Birkenhead and Sea. combe, formed points of land, and the larger vessels in the Sloyne loomed like men-of-war. The sun shone cheerfully out, and the shores of Bootle, Crosbie, and Form by, comparativelylc, with whit e h ouses th a t h ave ri s en w ithin comparativel y a few years, were seen to much advantage, and betokened the vast increase of the town in wealth and population. .sk i !„ 4 .? proceeded down the channel at a rapid rate, .passing ww . Pfif Llghthonse and Battery, and obtaining a tine view To those who have before been at sea, there is something peculiarly and almost indescribably delightful in treading the deck, when the shallows and difficulties of a harbour egress are overcome, and the stately ship—a floating home for her gallant crew—impelled by sail or steam, or a combination of both, first bounds, in the glory of freedom over the blue bil lows of the outward sea, and proudly bathes her sides in the foaming surge disputed from the prow. When—carrying with her the means and materials of her own propulsion for thousands of miles—she thus impetuous dashes on her course, as if scorning the saucy waves that occasionally break in gen tle showers of spray over her deck ;—when, snorting like the joyful colt just let loose upon his favourite sward, she careers in the pride of her strength over the unfathomed fields of the boundless ocean, and yields herself to the grateful guidance of the skilful steersman,—the enthusiast,—who, from the peep, beholds her huge and reckless bulk—her lofty masts — her full distended sails, all trim and staunch—her engines propelled by, a wondrous power—confesses that " she walks the waters like a thing of life," and enjoys a blameless grati fication in the reflection that fitted as she is to visit the re motest shores in the habitable globe ; to supply mutual wealth and mutual wants, and thereby promote the interests of humanity,—she presents an animated, and though indeed a perishable, a sublime and'renewable monument of the do minion and triumph of the world of mind over the world of matter ! We passed the Duchess of Kent, and other steamers, homeward bound, with their decks crowded with pasengers. The wide estuary of the Dee, Hilbre Island, and the coast of Wales, from the Point of Ayr, backed by the distant moun tains, claimed the attention of the observer in rapid succes sion, and before noon we were abreast of the Ormsheads— tbe ship going eight and nine knots an hour, with twenty eight strokes of the engine a minute. We soon afterwards saw the Skerries, where the sea, during storms from the N. W. , rises to a fearful height. The afternoon was fine ; the light sportive waves gleamed in the sunbeams, and the mountains of the Snowdonian range rose in sombre grandeur in the thin mists that slightly obscured their summits. In a dimple near the apex of one of them we observed a remarkable and beau tiful cloud, forming an arch of white vapour resembling steam,—one of those eccentricities of nature rarely seen, which the painter is precluded from depicting, lest he should be accused of drawing upon the credulity of beholders of his production, by introducing the marvellous or the fictitious. The bold and rocky shore of the island of Anglesea was now developed with its promontories and indentions. We marked the little bay and town of Amlwch ; and the hamlet of Camus, a long string of houses with a windmill, and church, and a cemetery, the grave-stones of which were plainly seen. We soon afterwards steered between the West Mouse rock and the main. The town of Holyhead, in an interesting but dangerous bay, next appeared. Here there is a noble pier, of 1,000 feet in length, with a lighthouse, built of a Welsh warble, elevated sixty feet above the mean level of the sea, and so lighted as to be peculiarly useful to the benighted ma riner making the port. Our attention was next directed to the lelegraph station, on a hill on the north side of a steep point or prornontory, whence passing vessels are punctually signalled to Liverpool ; and, near it, " the Head" on the South Stack, an isolated rock, from which to the main-land there is a sus pension bridge nearly 100 feet in width, which shows like a cobweb, spanning the charm between them. Eastward of this are some remarkable cavernous openings in the precipi tous rocks that rampart this extraordinary locality, which, though well worthy ot' minute inspection, is, from its being at a remote point of Anglesea, seldom visited by tourists. One of the caves presents a conspicuously large square open ing close to the sea, which dashes into it with a thundering noise. But I refer my readers to Roscoe's "Wanderings in Wales," for a pleasing and graphical description of the whole. I cannot, however, deny myself the pleasure of quoting one short passage, descriptive of the South Stack and its light house : _ " There are few objects more interesting than the appear ance of the South Stack, when approaching it from the water. Its wild site and deserted air,—the lighthouse towering seventy feet in height,—the neat, comfortable buildings close undes its guardian wing,—the sounds of life and industry mingled with the I%shing of the sea, and the cry of innumer ably birds, circling above and around, were altogether of so unwonted a character, that had I been suddenly transported to the antipodes I could not have felt more unfeigned sur prise; and when, after ascending its steep and rocky stairs, I gazed from the summit of the lighthouse on the wilderness of waters far around, and, descending, entered the quiet pleasant retreat which the master has establislisd here, and saw the neatness and comfort of every thing, I began to think I was perhaps only reading too abstractedly some old fairy tale. But Captain Evans (the master) soon convinced me to the contrary by introducing me to an excellent dinner, in which there was nothing dreamy or unsubstantial, though it appeared, indeed, conjured from the vasty deep! During the afternoon I amused myself in scrambling down the South Stack to the water's edge—in observing the myriads of gulls standing en the ledges of the rock, or flying about in all di rections—in examining the suspension bridge—and scaling the towering acclivity above, from which the island and lighthouse appear but diminutive objects; while the ever varying ocean was enlivened by numerous vessels passing up or down the channel." Leaving Holyhead, we steered down channel to the S.W. The bay of Carnarvon, and the well-defined mountains be hind it came in view, also Bardsey Island, to the south. A distant sail, seen under the high land, appeared, but as a mere white and unmoving speck. The sea was comparatively smooth, with light winds, inclining to calm ; and the pas sengers amused themselves in various ways—some playing at backgammon, others " spinning yarns," others in re lating what they had heard or experienced " in flood or field," and others perusing, in occasional snatches, "O'Hal loran, or the Insurgent Chief," " Two Years before the Mast," or " Captain Kyd, or the Wizzard of the Sea," works which were found in the saloon, and which served to wile away an occasional hour, and were pored ever by my sea man-looking shipmate, Mr. Chadwick, with an avidity which placed him hors de combat of conversation, and which reminded ire of my early predilection in devouring the ad mirable and moral-inspiring " Adventures of Robinson Crusoe." The ship meantime had made excellent way, having passed the South Stack Lighthouse in little more than eight hours from Liverpool against a strong spring -tide —a distance of upwards of seventy miles. At half-past two o'clock, the Merlin, which had held on westward towards Dublin, became hull down on the horizon. We were, however, a long way to the southward of her, shaping our own course : had we followed her, powerful as she was, the little " Erin would have been pretty close upon her heels. At four, we saw the Wicklow mountains, on the right ; and the Island of Bardsey, on the S.E., diminished in the distance, was visible, in the form of a gently-sloping and pointed hill. We were now fairly in the open channel, and the vessel, urged by the engines, gracefully tossed her head to the slight swell from the west ward, like a proudly-caparisoned charger, when his rider " stirs his courage with the steel." The weather was fine and sunny, and our commander's wife, a very young and interesting lady, who occupied the ladies' cabin, and whom I had not before seen, was persuaded to come on deck, with a view to dissipate the sea-sickness, which the hitherto gentle motion of the ship had provoked. But, alas this often merciless prostrator of the mental and physical energies even of the most vigorous of the ruder sex, who are unused to the rocking of vessels, had n.arked her as another victim, and she was in a few minutes compelled to forego all idea of partaking in the contemplation of the surrounded sea view, interesting as it occasionally was by vessels seen in succession, and the varied appearances of the distant land. At six we saw Wicklow-head, bearing N.W. by N., the engines working smoothly and the ship running beautifully, at a rate of from eight to nine-and-a-half knots. About this time, Captain Christie discovered an error in the Manx Almanack, involving great possible danger, which I shall hereafter notice, with a view to its correction. Shortly be fore midnight we saw the Tuscar Light right a-head. This light is ninety miles from Holyhead, and is the principal guiding beacon for seamen on the south-east point of Ireland. In the evening we had observed the new moon, forming a sharp crescent or segment with the points upwards. In sea faring parlance, she was " on her back," and a bright star (Venus) appeared within a handsbreadth of her. This in verted position of the young moon is ,;onsidered, by some veteran sailors, to he indicative of boiterous weather, and the :close proximity of the star renders the omen more por tentous. Captain Kennedy remarked to "the stranger," that " the moon and that star were married." " Then," said the latter jocularly, " we may look out for squalls ; for, depend upon it, such are the analogies of nature, that matri monial alliances, even amongst the planets, are as fraught with storms as those amongst the little bipeds who assume to lord it over this dirty ball, the earth." Little, however, did either of us anticipate what was brewing in the elements, for the night was placid and beautiful ; and the ocean, gently rolling, appeared as harmless and unconscious as the slum bering infant rocked in its cradle.

In the absence of any extensive country buyers this morn ing, the demand for free Wheats was confined chiefly to supply the wants of our local millers, who, although apparently rather inactive, purchased to a moderate amount, the general runs of British and foreign at the full rates of Tuesday ; and fine qualities, which are rather scarce, realised an advance of Id per 701bs. In bonded Wheats considerable operations have taken place on the spot, and partly to arrive, the best red Baltic com manding 7s. per 701bs.

O'CONfIiRLL AT CARLOW.--On Friday week, the agitator' arrived at Borris, where he addressed the people assembled at the town from all quarters for the fair. Ile told them he had been at Kilkenny, and had the happiness of seeing heroic and virtuous women of Carlow, equal in patrotism to Mrs. Prunty, of Longford, of whom they had all heard. He said when be was there before be knew the women of Carlow were not inferior to those of Longford or any other part of the world, and he was not mistaken. (At this part of Mr. O'- Connell's speech two women were seen rushing through the crowd, one of them bearing in her arms a fine girl about eight or nine years of age, and the• other followed by two little boys, and the whole party bathed in tears, particularly the little girl, who sobbed loudly. The women were crying out, " our husbands are taken away from us," and the chil dren were crying, "we have lost our fathers !" The child was handed into the carriage where Mr. O'Connell was, and be kissed it most affectionately, exclaiming, " Oh, the eruel monsters that could rend asunder the dearest ties of the hu man heart—this is more than I can bear," and he burst into tears !! ! I can safely say there was not a dry eye present. I never witnessed a more affecting sight. When Mr. O'Connell recovered his self-possession, he asked the women, whose numes were Murphy and Fenny, if they knew where their husbands were, and they replied, that they believed they were in Borris Castle. He then directed that Mr. French, as the agent for his son, and Mr. Ashton Yates, should go, accompanied by the parish priest, and demancethe release of these men, or that their wives, who were there, should be allowed to sce them. Mr. French accordingly knocked at the gate, and demanded admission for the wives and children, these two women in particular, as they were then present, and wanted to see their husbands and fathers. The women and children, with several other women who were moved to tears by the scene, were crying piteously, but the callous Cerberus, who was inside, said there was no admittance, as the persons outside were all strangers. If the 'wives of any of the freeholders can swear to where their husbands are, and that they are detained in custody , Mr. O'Connell will have a habeas corpus applied for to have them brought up before the justices of the Queen's Bench.—Correspondent qf a Ministerial paper. TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE. — The following melancholy circumstance occurred on Wednesday, at Mr. Adam Worsley's farm, about two miles from Henley-on-Thames. A man, having the a ppearance of a navigato r , h a d b een ob served during the afternoon wandering about the neighbour hood, acting very incoherently. Between six and seven o'clock he was seen to break open and enter the premises (the inmates being absent hay-making) by a person passing, who gaVe the alarm to the parties in the field, and eight or nine boys and men went to the house, which they found barricaded within. The man, who was then in the house, fired a gun he found on the premises at them, through the window, deliberately, by which one of them named Street, was shot through the heart, and died instantly, and three others were wounded in their faces ; the door was then forced by the others, when he threw a billhook at the first person who entered, which fortunately missed him ; but being rather a powerful person, and armed with a pickaxe, he closed and secured him, and with other help, finally con veyed him to the gaol at Wargravt. Of his insanity there can be no doubt. Street was a very industrious man, and has left a wife and five children • and it is remarkable that he had been on the previous Sunday to Moulsford, a village ten miles distant ; to see his sister-in-law, and on his return home on Monday evening, he told his wife he had had a most dreadful dream, and he was sure something would hap pen to him. His wife begged him not to trouble himself about it, but he was so dejected, and the impression was so strong on his mind, that he was unable to eat and drink the next evening, when the event took place.—Staffordshire Gazette. THE CHINESE CRISIS.—The missionary Gutzlaff has sent a letter to his German friends, announcing his appointment as interpreter to the English expedition. He observes that " The most important epoch in the Celestial Empire has now arrived ; the Chinese must either give up all their pretensions to supremacy, or beat the English fleet ! Thus we are, per haps, about to witness the greatest events of the present age. Several learned Chinese have just become converts to the gospel. One is a poet of distinguished talent ; another is an extremely well-informed bookseller in Quangsi, who has tra velled over the whole empire on his business, and is acquainted with every literary work. The latter is, indeed, the most cultivated Chinese with whom I have come in contact. Every good Christian will be overjoyed to hear that these folks with long tufts and little eyes, expound the Epistle to the Romans. Three neophytes are now writing a commentary on the New Testament without any foreign aid." BORROWING. — We have received a letter, says the Boston (America) Post, from a correspondent, in which he speaks in strong terms of reprobation of borrowing in general, and book-borrowing in particular. He talks as a man who has suffered some. He says he lived at one time on the banks of the Mississippi. and gives the following as a specimen of the extent to which the practice is carried :—" Will you lend me your axe ? you won't want to use it, I reckon." " Why, yes, I'll let you take it, seein' you want it." In about two months the owner does want to use his axe, and applies to the borrower of it, but he has not got it; " the last he seed on't, Mr. Bletcher bad it to cut some roots with." The poor owner then goes to Mr. Bletcher—" Stranger, have you seen my axe 1 lent to Mr. Bent t'other day ?" " Why, yes, I reckon Mr. Bower 's got ;he said he wanted it to chop some firewood, so I lent it to him. You 'd better ask him for it." He goes—" Mornin', Mr. Bower, how's your wife?" " Lively, I reckon ; how 's y ourn ?" " About right, I reckon ; have you had a hold o' 1333 , axe ?" " I reckon I have. I have smashed the handle—it was a powerful weak one ; but you can mend it, and when you've done it I'd like to borrow it again, 'cause I have a smart chance of wood to cut, and want to use it 'specially." NEW PLANE SURFACE PRINTING MACHINE.—This machine is the invention of Count Rosen, and is adapted for all kinds of book-work, and may be worked either by hand or steam power. The one we have seen in operation has been erected at Messrs. Clowes's office. It is capable of doing the work of two common presses, requiring a superin tendent, and two boys to lay on and take off the sheets, and lower and raise the tympan. The simplicity of its construc tion cannot fail to recommend this machine to the favour of the trade, as it may be managed by a common pressman—the making ready not differing much from his usual method. The inking apparatus is very cleverly arranged, the distribut ing rollers having three or four different motions ; the table, on which the type is placed, though remaining stationary when in work, has the elasticity of the wooden press; and the use of tympans enables the workman to dispense with blankets, so as to produce the finest impressions from wood engravings. When in action it makes very little noise, and may be stopped at any moment required. The space occu pied by the machine, exclusive of the turning wheel, is not greater than a press of the same capacity (double crown) requires, but the cost is nearly fourfold. Of course this ma chine is chiefly available where a large number of impressions are required, or greater dispatch than ordinary ; as, for small numbers, too much time would be occupied in making ready, to render it equally economical.—Atheneum.

Standard-office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—ThIs DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN . & SONS' Circular.) About 2000 sacks of Irish Oatmeal, and 7719 barrels of Flour from Canada, form the only arrivals into this port deserving notice, since Tuesday last, having no Grain or Flour whatever from the Continent of Europe or the Ameri can States fresh in for to -day. With the exception of some heavy showers in the course of Tuesday night and yesterday, the weather has been mostly fine since the close of last week ; but without the appearance of being permanently settled, and having already had an ex cess of moisture, the trade has exhibited an increased degree of stability ; and upon reiterated purchases of Wheat and Flour, combined with a moderate demand for the leading ar ticles of free produce, the general currency of our last circu lar has, up to this date, been fully maintained, and in some cases rather exceeded. AIISCELLANEOUS Papers from Sydney to the 12th of February, and from the Cape of Good Hope to the 25th of April, have also arrived. At Sydney flour was 18s. to 21s. per 100 lb., and wheat 4s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. per bushel. 'This decline in prices was in conse quence of the late heavy imports. Among the accessions to the new parliament there are none at which the friends of the country and of the Protes tant faith have more rea-on to rejoice than the return of Sir Richard Vyvyan for Helston, and Mr. Hardy for Bradford. Joseph Hume, Esq., arrived in Dublin on Saturday morn ing, from Liverpool. The celebrated Dr. Pusey and family have arrived at Kingstown, where the doctor has taken a house for the bathing season.—Dubli n Statesman. The members of the Royal Irish Academy are to have a grand dinner at Salthilj next month, to which Sir William R. Hamilton is invited, and several distinguished members of the British Association. By the death of Philip Harding, Esq., of Harding's-grove, Mallow, Arthur Blennerhasset, Esq., of Ballyseedy, Kerry, comes into the possession of a considerable tract of country, and a great accession of income. The Earl of Surrey has been called to the Upper House by the title of Baron Maltravers, a creation in the reign of Henry 111., and came into the Howard family by the mar riage of Sir John Fitzalau, called Arundel, with Eleanor, daughter of the fourth baron. The report of the severe illness of the Crown Prince of Hanover (Prince George of Cumberland) is, we are happy to learn, exaggerated. His Royal Highness is sorely afflicted at the loss of his beloved parent, but in other respects at the date of the last letters was in the enjoyment of good bodily health.—Record. A LITERARY PRISONER.—A few days since, the chaplain of Lewes Gaol found on one of the female prisoners indulging her literary taste in reading Scott's deligtful novel of " The Heart of Midlothian"—a very appropriate work for a young female, who, from the nature of her case, was a second " Effie Deans." The book was of course taken away, and an inquiry instituted as to how she became possessed of it. An English editor, with much gravity, says that the way they procnre black writing-ink in South Carolina is by whip ping the negroes until they cry, and then catching the tears. —American paper. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.--It appears by a table cf mortality in the metropolis, that the total number of deaths registered, in the week ending Saturday, July 3, 1841, was males, 383 ; females, 368. (Weekly average, 1838-9; males, 475 ; females, 451.) Thirty-one livings are in the gift of Trinity College, Dub lin. One of them is held by an ex-fellow since the year 1787, and fifteen of them are possessed by reverend gentlemen who were fellows of Trinity. At the annual meeting of hop-planters and others, on the Sth instant, at the Horse Sh oes, L ower Hardres, the duty was set at £155,000. Canterbury Races will take place on Barham Downs, on Thursday and Friday, the sth and 6th of August next.

We never remember so important a benefit. The wheats are increased in the ear immensely, and the growth of the barley both in the stalk and ear is astonishing. An agriculturist, upon whom we can rely, assures us that his barley s have risen 12 inches in ten days. But we nevertheless apprehend that neither crop will be equal to that of last year, though there are prodigi ously fine appearances on some of the heavy and light lands of Norfolk. The second crop of hay will be greatly in. creased. We have only to hope for a fortnight of sunshine to bring on an early harvest—Norwich Mercury. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT. ASHES ,MADHER, 14 , CWt.

Bacon, as the vegitable harvest approaches, improves in demand, and prices continue to look up. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 15 We have no new feature in our Cotton market since our last eircular, indeed tameness and insipidity are its leading features. Business is still very slack in the country, and consumers only purchase for their immediate wants, and the sales yesterday were 2500, and to-day 3000 bales, at gradually easier prices, say id 14 lb since Friday last. Holders do not press their stocks on the market, yet the buyer has a good assortment of Cotton below fair, whilst the better descriptions are not plentiful, and fully maintain their position. The market is almost glutted with red Cotton, a colour very objectionable to most of the purchasers. SALFORD CATTLE MAKKET, JULY 14 HULL CORN MARKET, JULY 14 We have had a good deal of rain during the past week, which has caused a speculative feeling in Wheat under lock, and a moderate business has been transacted at an advance of 2s per per quarter, at which advance they are held with much firmness. The last accounts from Hamburgh. (yth Ju]y) state that a heavy business is doing there, and at high prices, say from 42s to 44s per quarter, free on bond there. A fair demand has been experienced for duty-paid Wheat, and an advance of is to 2s per quarter, paid on the business done. In rapeseed and linseed nothing of con sequence passing, the former article being neglected, and the latter maintaining full prices. In cakes no alteration. Penes were pressed down below their value ; several buyers appearing holders, asked more money, and in many cases prefer landing to submitting to present pices. To-day's market is met with a very short supply of farmers Wheat, and the advance noted in the above remarks on the proceedings of the week have been fully realized to-day, but it is only on the finest and best fresh Wheat that the demand runs. Secondary qualities do not make any more money than last week. In Oats and Beans no alteration from my last noted priers. There is scarcely any Barley left, and having several inquiries fur grinding qualities, the little offering brings full prices. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 13. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 5- Son.) The imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland arid Coastways since Tuesday last have been more moderate, but of Flour chiefly from New Orleans, and of Beans chiefly from Egypt and Trieste, they are ratherconsiderable, as per import note below ; and during the past week the demand has continued very steady for every article in the Corn Trade, at fully our last quotations, and in a few instances a small increase has been obtained. The weather has continued very unsettled ;—alternate rain and drying winds,—sadly impeding Hay-making—but though cold, not as yet considered detrimental to the crops of Grain, further than postponing Harvest. There is no alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign Ports since Friday last ;—the transactions in Bonded Wheat and Flour have been rather considerable ; several cargoes of Baltic Wheat in bond here, and also cn the passage, have changed hands recently at 6s 3d to 6s 6d per 70 lb, and some large parcels of United States Flour have been taken on speculation at 23s 66 to 24s 6d per barrel ;—for other articles in bond we can note no change in last week's prices. In consequence of a recurrence of unsettled weather, we have experienced much activity in this day's market, and sales to a pretty fair extent have been made of Wheat for some use at an advance of 2d per 70 lb, and of Flour of 6d per sack and per bar rel;—and of both those articles in bond very considerable quanti ties have changed hands at an advance of 2d to 3d per 70 lb on the former, and of is to as per barrel on the latter, since this day week ;—for other articles there was also an improved demand, but we make little or no alteration in prices.
