ljottrp. GOD. The followinz sublime ode to the Supreme Being is translated from the Russian. It was written by one of their distinguished poets, Derzbazin. This ode is said to have been transl-tted into the Chinese and Tartar languages, written on silk, and suspended in the Imperial Palace at Pekin. The Emperor of Japan had it translated into Japanese. embroidered in gold, and hung up in the temple of .Jeddo. It is gratifying to learn, that these nations have done themselves the honour to bestow those honours on this noble composition. or sublime his imagination, unacquainted with Holy Writ, ever did, or ever will, compose i exalted a poem. It abounds in scriptural allusion. The finest parts of the ode were written when the soul of the author, perhaps unconsciously, was wrapt in contemplation of passages in the Bible. One of the most exquisite verses in the poem is that where the poet, fleeing from the nothingness of humanity, takes shelter in the gloriously consoling idea, that the Divine Spirit shines on his spirit, .ks shine the sunbeam in the drop of dew." Immediately after follow the words, "In thee I live, and breathe. and dwell." Is it not manifest that the whole of this sublimely beautiful passage is borrowed from Acts xvii., verse 28, ~ In him we live, and move, and have our being?" —New York Observer. 0, Thou Eternal One! whose presence bright, All space doth occupy—all motion guide: Unchanged through time's all-everlasting flight, Thou only GOD; there is no GOD beside. Being above all beings! Mighty One! • Who none can comprehend, and none explore; Embracing all—supporting—ruling o'er:— Being, whom we call Goo—and know no more!. In its sublime research, philosophy May measure out the ocean deep—may count The sands, or the sun's rays—but GOD ! for Thee There is no weight nor measure; none can mount Up to Thy mysteries; Reason's brightest spark, Though kindled by Thy light, in vain would try To trace Thy counsels, infinite and dark : And thought is lost ere thought can soar so high, Even like past moments in eternity. Thou from primeval nothingness didst call First, chaos, then existence—Loan, on Thee Eternity had its foundation; all Sprung forth from Thee; all light, joy, harmony, Sole origin—all life, all beauty, Thine, Thy word created all, and doth create: Thy splendour fills all space with rays divine. Thou art, and wart, and shalt be! glorious! great! Life-giving, life-sustaining, potentate ! Thy chains the unmeasured universe surround; Upheld by Thee, by Thee inspired with breath! Thou the beginning with the end hest bound, And beautifully mingled life and death ! As sparks mount upwards from the fiery blaze, So suns are born, so worlds spring forth from Thee, And as the spangles in the sunny rays, Shine round the silver snow, the pageantry Of Heaven's bright army glitters in Thy praise. A million torches lighted by Thy hand Wander, unwearied, through the blue abyss ; They own Thy power, accomplish Thy command, All gay with life, all eloquent with bliss. What shall we call them? Piles of chrystal light? A glorious company of golden streams? Lamps of celestial ether burning bright? Suns lighting systems with their joyous beams? But Thou to these are as the moon to night— Yes! a drop of water in the sea. All this magnificence in Thee is lost : What are ten thousand worlds compared to Thee? And what am I then? Heaven's unnumbered host, Though multiplied by myriads and array'd In all the glory of sublimest thought, Is but an atom in the balance weigh'd Against Thy greatness—is a cypher brought Against infinity : What am I then ?—Nought. Nought—but the effluence of Thy light divine, Pervading worlds, bath reached my bosom too ? Yes, in my spirit doth Thy Spirit shine, As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew. Nought—but I live, and on hope's pinions fly Eager towards Thy presence • for in Thee I live, and breathe, and dwell ; I lift my eye Even to the throne of Thy divinity: 1 am, 0 Gon, and surely Thou must be. Thou art ! directing, guiding all, Thou art ! Direct my understanding then to Thee; Control my spirit, guide my wandering heart: Though but an atom 'midst immensity, Still I am something fashion'd by Thy band : I hold a middle rank 'twixt heaven and earth, On the last verge of mortal being stand, Close to the realms where angels have their birth ; Just on the boundaries of the spirit-land. The chain of being is complete in me; In me is matter's last gradation lost. And the next step is spirit—Deity! I can command the lightning, and am dust ! A monarch, and a slave; a worm, a Gon! Whence came I here, and how ? so marvellously Constructed and conceived ? unknown ! this clod Lives surely through some higher energy ; For from itself alone it could not be. • Creator ! Yea—Thy wisdom and Thy word Created me I Thou source of life and good ! Thou Spirit of my spirit, and my Lord : Thy light, thy love, in their bright plentitude, Fill'd me with an immortal soul, to spring O'er the abyss of death, and bade it wear The garments of eternal day, and wing Its heavenly flight beyond this little sphere ; Even to its source—to Thee—its Author there. O thoughts ineffable ! 0 visions blest ! Though worthless our conceptions all of Thee, Yet shall thy shadow'd image fill our breast, And waft its homage to Thy Deity. Gon ! thus alone my lowly thoughts can soar, Thus seek Thy presence—Being wise and good ! 'Midst Thy vast works, admire, obey, adore ! And when the tongue is eloquent no more, The soul shall speak in tears of gratitude. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH SOUTH AMERICA. (From the Manchester Guardian.) At a time when the European powers, envious of the pre-eminence in commerce and manufactures to which England has attained, are endeavouring, in the most insidious manner, to undermine our greatness, by cutting off our commercial relations with the South American states, and striking at the root of our pre dominance in the East Indies ;—whilst the politicians of France and of Russia, rocked in the cradle of di plomacy, lull their consciences to sleep, and those are considered the most adroit who can best conceal their sinister intentions under the cloak of pretended friend ship, and disguise their nefarious designs under the mask of false honour;—under such circumstances — such existing circumstances—it well behoves the go vernment and individuals of this country to draw closer the ties of amity, and to avail themselves of every opport un ity o f i ncreas i ng th e li n k s o f t ra ffi c with the unsophisticated countries of North and South America,—the uninitiated in court intrigues, cabinet combinations, and the arcana of political economy ! The merchants of Liverpool, and manufacturers of Manchester, should join hand and hand to promote every measure, having for its object the facilitating and rendering the commercial correspondence with Brazil, Monte Video, Buenos Ayres, Chili, Peru, and Mexico, more regular, expeditious, and punctual; and they have, much to their credit, recently manifested their readiness so to do, by promptly patronising the memorials presented to their adoption, praying the establisment of competent steam-vessels from Fal mouth to those countries, in lieu of the present ina dequate sailing vessels, whereby the voyage out and home would probably be reduced to as many weeks as it now occupies months. The Great Western and the Liverpool have asto nished the natives of North—so will the Great South ern and the Manchester (about to be built) surprise and delight the nations of South America. England is undoubtedly the grand centre of the commerce of the terrestrial globe ; and Manchester can be, with great propriety and truth, considered the spot or point of centralization of the commerce, in.. telligence, ind us try, and wealth of the United King dom. This is not the language of flattery, but of praise. Flattery is justly deemed the food of fools, but praise is the proper diet of the wise; and i t is very easy to distingui s h the one from the other by their ef fects: a person flattered is elated, and receives the adulation as a favour, conscious of his undesert ; whilst a person praised receives with modesty the encomiums justly bestowed on him, and with a self-complacency and satisfaction which true desert can only give rise to. Let us, Englishmen, then look with contempt on those despots of Europe who, whilst they flatter, hate us, bnt cherish the rising states of America with cor diality and esteem ; they will then ever esteem and respect us for befriending them in their time of need, and protecting them in their time of trouble, when threatened with invasion, if not annihilation, by a professed liberal European government. Nothing can so well contribute to frustrate such aggressions in America as have occurred in Africa, as quick. regular, and continuous knowledge of passing events, at the present eventful moment. On Wednesday week no less than fourteen fine woodcocks rose from a plantation near the vicarage Minoru. Three or four famed sportsmen wasted a considerable quantity of am munition upon them without effect, the provoking birds esca ping without a ruffled featber.—Cumberland Pacquet. LONGEVITY.—There are at this time, in the service of Mr. Joseph logledew, of Kirkby Fleetham, two horses, the united ages of which amount to 62 years; and this aged team is attended by an octogenarian patriarch, the years of whose pilgrimage have numbered 86. They a re a ll in active em ployment, even during the present season of the year.—Hull Times. GLASS SUPPERS.—An article hitherto only used to adorn the foot of Cinderella in a fairy tale, may notv be seen in that extensive repository of discoveries and improvements, the Polytechnic Institution, Regent -street. We allude to a very curious pair of ladies' dress-shoes, fabricated from glass, not less flexible than leather or satin, equally light, and far more durable, to judge from the solidity of their texture. CHURCH EDUCATION SOCIETY.—We are most happy to learn that a New Church Education Society for Ireland has been set on foot with the best prospects, and that its funda mental rules have met the approbation of his Grace the Lord Primate, and of all the Bishops of Ireland who were as sembled in Dublin last week, with the exception of the Arch bishop of Dublin, and the Bishops of Derry and Killaloe. It is a matter of regret to this discreditable minority, and sacri ficing, what one of his talents and attainments cannot but feel to be a principle, to expediency, or to a point of etiquette, in deference to that party by which he was elevated to the iscopal bench.—Dublin-Evening Mail. 1'.10.4.A_ A "Sr x Tott.s.—Yesterday the tolls on the road be eat - -I°l37rt'inr and Liverpool were taken for the ensuing year „ s bfing an advance on the current year of £520; 4 1 1 4 ,14 - "di mici . )01 ust be attributed to the daily increasing in ' ' tereque:- een this city and Liverpool—influenced no ''• :' , 46 u 1 4AY,Pl o tr: nullities of railway communication from the 7 __:_,...,.. t all parts of the kingdom.

(From the Standard.) The manifesto of Sir George Arthur has met with all that approbation of its ecclesiastical views from the Whig-Radical press which it was so well calculated, we will not say which it was designed, to elicit. This approbation we are not ashamed to say does but confirm our opinion of the gallant Governor's great indiscretion Had Sir George Arthur the Telmer, which happily he has not, to realise his latitudinarian views, and should he realise them, we do not scruple to say that in successfully defending the province confided to him, he would inflict a serious injury upon the country. The discipline which he seems to propose, is just that which would assimilate Upper Canada to the neighbouring Republican ataiew4w4eterer Arty ivr-Moral character; and thus assimi- ' lated, they would not very long differ about the form of their government. The ultimate safety of the British colonies everywhere, lies in their complete moral union with the me tropolitan state, which can be effected only by a Church communion. And in America this is snore especially the case, because of the anti-Church system of government in that commonwealth, which is our great rival in the New World. It is said that in Upper Canada the great majority of the inhabitants are persons separated from the Church of England. It may be so, though there is no evidence of the fact, and t ‘ hey who state it are not scrupulous in making as sertions cdnvenient to the purpose in hand. if the Church of England inhabitants are, indeed, a minority, it must be in a great measure the effect of a neglect, which they who think with Sir George Arthur would seem desirous to perpe tuate. Christian Englishmen will not carry themselves and their families to a place destitute of the means of that form of Christian worship of which their consciences approve, and to which they are accustomed in the land of their birth. The Infidel will emigrate, unrestrained by any such consideration —the Sectarian and the Romanist may carry with him his Church and his priest; but without a sufficient Church of England establishment in the colony, the Church of England man is virtually excluded from it. We have often pressed this point before, and it cannot be pressed too often—that if the colonies are to be preserved to England, they must be made like England, not like Scotland or Ireland, and that this can be effected only by extending to them a full and efficient Church Establishment. We shall be told that this will give occasion for disputes. To be sure it will: what free country ever existed in which each institution in suc cession was not the subject of dispute ? Of all follies, that is the most gross which anticipates the putting an eud to the jarring of parties, in a popular state, by any arrangement or by any measure. The bill of 1829, we were told by the Whigs, would put an end to all party difference: the Duke of Wellington and Lord Grey should rule together, and the houses of parliament were to exhibit in epitome the Satur nian reign that was to gild the United Kingdom with its blessings. Well, the bill passed—but Lord Grey and Mr. O'Connell knew better than to realise its promised conse quences. They knew that without faction they must remain in their previous unplaced nothingness, and that without a dispute faction could not be aroused to activity : for the com paratively_ safe dispute that had occupied parliament during `LS or 30 years, the one substituted parliamentary reform, the other abolition of tithes and repeal. So it will ever be when the interests of truth and justice are sacrificed to the getting rid of a dispute—the safer difference will be followed by one far more dangerous. So it will be in Upper Canada—ex tinguish the dispute upon Church Establishments, and the next dispute will concern the comparative merits of a repub lican or a monarchical form of government, and the prefer ence due to a connection with Great Britain or with the United States. This is, we admit, a low view of the subject, but because it is a low one it is better suited to those with whom we have to deal. But whoever wishes to see the question treated in its higher and more just contemplation, will be fully satisfied, and amply instructed, by a noble essay, written by Mr. W. B. Gladstone, which has just issued from the press, under the title—" THE STATE IN ITS RELATIONS TO THE CHURCH,"— a work, to borrow Burke's homely but expressive phrase ap plied to Bacon, cramming more of argument, of learning, and of truth into its pages than any that our age has seen. Mr. Gladstone's work does not follow the essays of Hooker, or Warburton, or Chalmers; but it comprehends them all, with much beyond them—fruit of the writer's own powerful and highly-cultivated mind. He demonstrates not the ex pediency of supporting an established church as auxiliary to the state, but the peremptory duty of erecting and main taining one, as enjoined by natural religion in the first place, next by the express language of revelation. We cannot but look upon it as a pledge of the continued care of providence, that the rising men of our time—and among them no man stands before Mr. Gladstone—thus, as it were, bring the first offerings of a genius with which HE has endowed them to the altar of THE CREATOR, sanctifying their future lives at its sacred fire. We should, if we might, most willingly reprint the book. The following passages, which bear upon the subject before us, give a lesson to statesmen of which older men than Mr, Gladstone, we fear, stand in need:— " Why, then, we now come to ask, should the governing body in a state profess a religion ? First, because it is com posed of individual men; and they, being appointed to act in a definite moral capacity, must sanctify their acts done in that capacity by the offices of religion • inasmuch as the acts cannot otherwise be acceptable to God, oranything but sinful and punishable in themselves. And whenever we turn our face away from God in our conduct we are living atheisti cally. It is the deliberate avowal of the principle of turning away from him, of living without God in the world,' which constitutes atheism in its ordinary, though not in its strict, signification. This was the atheism of Lucretius, and his is pre-eminently an atheistic sect : •' Omnis enim per se Divum natura necesse est Immortali revo summa cum pace fruatur, Semota ab nostris rebus. sejunctaquc longe. (1.) He does not forbid men to pay acts of worship, but he says, Avoid referring the facts of the world to divine government,' or else (in his too beautiful language,) " Nec deluhra Deum placido cum pectore adibis ; Nec, de corpora qum sancto simulacra feruntur, In mentes hominum divinm nuntia formm, Suscipere liaise animi tranquilla pace valebis.' (2.) It is, therefore, the recognition of actual relations between God and man that saves us from atheism, and not an abstract acknowledgement of his existence. " It is most important to stop for a moment and reflect that, while on Christian principles we are commanded to dis charge our social duties as unto the Lord' and not to man, so, even in the view of rationalism, we must ever bear in mind that, whatever be the functions, whatever the external circumstances, of each particular person, he has a - nature and a law within him, which protest against being absorbed and lost in the external energies required by those functions ; which claim to rule over him and direct the paramount conditions of his life; and by the suppression of which he surrenders his human birthright and patrimony, the inward and central freedom of his being, and becomes but as a captive, chained, though it may be to a triumphal car. " There is a striking and almost an indignant remonstrance on this subject, contained in an oration which was recently delivered by Mr. Emerson, an American, at an American Cambridge. (3) He says, "r here is one man present to all particular men only partially, or through one faculty.' 'The individual, to possess himself, must sometimes return from his 9wn labour to embrace all the other labourers.' "rhe planter, who is a man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry. He sees his bushel and his cart, and nothing beyond, and sinks into the farmer, instead of man on the farm.' And so it is with us, that he who holds offices of public trust runs a thou sand hazards of sinking into a party man, instead of man employing party for its uses—into a politician, instead of man in politics—into an administrator, instead of man in administration. Upon the observance of a distinction sub stantially analogous to this depend alike the freedom and dignity of our being, and that highest result of its highest dig nity and freedom, its implicit submission to God; for thus only do we keep in view the reflective nature of man, and thejudicial powers pith which his conscience is intrusted. " In fulfilment, then, of his obligations as an individual, the statesman must be a worshippieg man. But his acts are public; the powers and instruments with which he works are public; acting under and by the authority of the law, he moves at his word ten thousand subject arms; and because such energies are thus essentially public, and wholly out of the range of mere individual agency, they must be sanctified not only by the private personal prayers and piety of those who fill public situations, but also by public acts of the men composing the public body. They must offer prayer and praise in their public and collective character, in that cha racter wherein they constitute the organ of the nation, and wield its collective force. Wherever there is a reasoning agency, there is a moral duty and a responsibility involved in it: the governors are reasoning agents for the nation, ,in their conjoint acts as such; and therefore there must be at tached to this agency, as that without which none of our re sponsibilities can be met, a religion ; and this religion must be that of the conscience of the governor, or none. He can not, that is, cannot rightly, believe one and profess another. It is with profession alone that we are at present concerned. For these reasons, then, the public profession of religion ranks among the personal obligations of governors as individuals. • • • " Now, of all the parts of this subject, probably none have been so thoroughly wrought out as the insufficiency of what is termed the voluntary principle. It has been shown, that, while demand under the circumstances of modern society commonly creates supply, and while therefore it is needless to use adventitious means in order to provide any commodity or good for which there is a natural desire, in the case of reli gion the desire is least when the want is greatest, and those who are most indifferent upon the subject require to be most solicited by the public institutions of religion, not less for the welfare of the state than for the salvation of their own souls. It has also been unanswerably shown, that there are very large portions of the community, whose temporal means are insufficient to enable them to bear the expenses of reli gious establishments; and perhaps no one who looks at the competition for employment in an old and thickly-peopled country, will be of any other opinion than that such inability is likely to continue. And those who are at first merely un able to pay, will if neglected, in no long course of time, add to inability unwillingness. " There may be a state of things—in the United States of America, perhaps in some British colonies there does actually exist a state of things—in which religious communions are so equally divided, or so variously subdivided, that the govern ment ►s ►tself similarly chequered in its religious complexion, and thus internally incapacitated by disunion from acting in matters of religion ; or, again, there may be a state in which the members of government may be of one faith or persua sion, the mass of the subjects of another, and hence there may be an external incapacity to act in matters of religion. We do not here trace out all the consequences, but it has been shown that this involves dereliction of the functions and responsibilities of government; and it is enough, theretore, for the present, to have marked each of these combinations of circumstances as a social defect and calamity."

LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION LECTURES ON PAINTING. On Saturday evening R. B. Haydon, Esq. delivered his sixth lecture. There is a continual contest between painters and poets as to the claims of their respective arts to pre-eminence. Poets generally decide the question in their own favour, and in that they have the advantage over painters, whose canvas is the only medium they can employ to assert their claims. Painting is an imitation of the things themselves; but poetry is a purely imaginative art. Poets can make their charac ters speak; painters can make them look. No painter could make Newton look as if he had just discovered the tides with out extraneous help, but a-poet could describe his -emotions. What a painter does, however, the whole world is able to comprehend, but a poet's works are, in a great degree, con fined to his own country. What painting can do is snore intense in its immediate effect than the effects of poetry. Poetry can do well what painting can do a million times better. A singer argued that there was nothing in the world which a musician could not accomplish by his art as well as a poet or a painter. The experiment was tried. A party agreed to go to an inn, and endeavour to procure a supper by the exercise of their respective arts. The musician sung a number of tunes, for a long time, in vain, but no supper was forthcoming. The painter sketched out a fowl, and the waiter having brought it, both poet and musician acknow ledged the triumph of painting. It was at one time supposed that Reynolds' lectures were not his own writing, and Burke was accused, but the lectures were too pure for Burke. The lecturer had lately stumbled upon the original manuscripts, corrected in the handwriting of Reynolds, which plainly proved that they were the com position of Reynolds himself. What most struck Mr. Ilaydon in the Louvre was a little invention which existed in the world; for even Reubens himself had borrowed wholesale from the German school; and at the Louvre the pictures from which he had borrowed his ideas rose in judgment against him. Reynolds was what Fuseli used to call a bold thief. There is, however, a differ ence between borrowing and adopting. The greatest art on earth is the art of using nature. It must not be copied too particularly, nor so generally, but it must be nature reduced to her essential properties, and nothing more or nothing less. It was in this that Vandyke, Titian, and Reynolds, as well as Reubens, failed in compa rison with Raphael and the Greeks. Reynolds could draw well, so long as lie had his models,—remove them and he was abroad. Reynolds was an eminent artist, but still a se cond-rate one. His genius for high art was not sufficiently intense to make him a high artist in spite of time, and in spite of education. Choice of subject is no slight part of invention, and in this choice there is nothing inure important than the moment. Coleridge, with all his wild dreams, was always selecting for artists impossible subjects. The moment - chosen by the artist must be big with the past and pregnant with the tuture, and you choose the most interesting point of interest between the two. Martin's examples of scenery are the purest specimens of the epic. The success of 'Martin's compositions among the middle classes is a sufficient proof of the taste of the British public for the best principles of art. Martin has been over rated by the public, but underrated by the artists. He is not an historical artist, but a great scenic painter. It appears to be a folly to build any national galleries without having one to preserve the works of modern artiste. It is an honour to Liverpool to have been the first to set the example in the formation of a gallery of modern art. Li verpool is the first town since the Reformation which has given public commissions to the painters of historic alt, which had been done in Hilton's instance, and that of the lecturer himself. If Liverpool succeeded in establishing a permanent gallery of art, her name would be handed down to posterity as the first town which had done it. There is nothing which would astonish the Londoners, or the common council of London. so much, as a proposal to give a public commission to an historical artist. He ventured to say, that such a proposal would not only cause the hairs of the Lord Mayor's wig to stand on end, but would even cause Gog and Magog to descend from their places. For thirty years the lecturer had urged this patronage by public bodies, of which the inhabitants of Liverpool have set such an example. Even Canning, the member for Liverpool, did not seem to know the valuable influence of high art upon the arts and manufactures. Lord Brougham once asked the lecturer if he supposed that the people of England had taste. He might have asked his lordship, in return, if they had ~knowledge. Certainly not, without you give them schools, or mechanics' institutions; and the same with taste—they will not possess it unless you give them schools of design. None of the mi nisters with whom Mr. Haydon had communicated (and lie had had interviews with them all, from Perceval to the present day,) had bestowed so much attention upon the subject as the Duke of Wellington, who had not only listened to him patiently, but bad allowed him to argue the question, and if possible to prove him wrong. He had no cold looks and sophistry from him, and he thought that if he had re mained where he was, that something would have been done; indeed, the Duke of Wellington had intimated as much to a friend of the lecturer's. The lecturer had seen two exhibi tions in Liverpool, and in each of them hart seen the very best situation occupied by full length portraits, and the best historical portraits put in out of the way places. If the Li verpool academy bring down pictures here which will not sell in the London markets, you will have no means of im proving your taste. He could point out works of merit in bad situations, which would give an historical tone to the Liverpool exhibition. He had seen good pictures put into such places, that had a Wilkie been put there, no other picture of Wilkie would ever afterwards have graced the room. Mr. Havdon then exhibited to his audience several de signs for historical paintings, drawn by a young man named Huxley, who had received education in drawing at the Li verpool Mechanics' Institution. He said that if the young than did but turn out a moral young man, he would one day be an ornament to his native town. He had never met with such downright originality of conception as this young man's compositions evinced. The subject were, The Rape of Proser pine—the descent of Pluto and Prosperine, and Ceres de manding her daughter at the Court of Pluto. The boy pos sessed great genius, and deserves to he well taken care of. He had never predicted the eminence of any body who did not afterwards become great. If Huxley were sent to Lon don, clothed and lodged, he would educate hint himself with out charge, and he was confident that he would become an honour to Liverpool. GHOST IN THE YEAR 174 G. There was not in the army of Prince Charles Edward a more heroic and brave man than M'Bean, from Strathglass, the country of the Chisholms; neither was there any one more zealously attached to the person and interest of the Chevalier—an attachment based on a community of religious principle. M'Bean was a powerful, athletic man, above six feet in height, and thick and well made in proportion. He distinguished himself both at I'restonpansand Falkirk; and he fell at Culloden, sword in hand. 'When the Highlanders gave way on that never-to-be-forgotten day, M'Bean was seen rushing from rank to rank, urging his countrymen, in the most pathetic manner, to return to the charge, but all in vain. The suspicions of treachery that clung to Lord George Murray then darted across his mind, and, raving, raging, and panting for revenge, he sought him nut amid war, wounds, carnage, and death. But, finding his lordship gallantly defending himself against an English officer— M`Bean, with awful impetuosity, rushed in between them— cleft the trooper's head in twain—and prayed Lord George to save himself by flight. At that moment the retreat be came general, and M'Bean was borne along, in the confused evolutions of the day, to an old barn. In that barn several of his brave, though vanquished countrymen, had sought shelter front the fury of the victors; and, placing himself opposite the door, he turned on his pursuers. The Royalists pressed hard upon him, and in twenty minutes twenty heads rolled at his feet! But a musket ball came whistling from the plain—lodged in his breast—and the redoubled hero fell to rise no more! His bravery as a warrior, and his private worth and virtues, are commemorated in an elegy of unri valled pathos and beauty, composed by his wife. It was a stretch of leniency above the vindictive Nerouian feelings of the "minister of vengeance" to allow Mrs. M'Bean to pour out her lacerated heart in quiet:—Four of the Argyle Mili tia were billeted in her house to amuse her by the narrative of her husband's death, and, withal, to show her they could conquer and kill hens as well as Roman Catholics. For fourteen days did the heartless miscreants remain in. Mrs. M`Bean's, offering her every species of insult and low re venge. The license allowed them by Duke William was broad enough, and their interpretation of it was still broader. The poor woman was compelled to give them her own bed, and to wait upon them at table with the greatest submission. It was in vain that Marion, the faithful servant-maid of the house, endeavoured to work upon their superstitious feelings, by declaring that her late lamented master's ghost haunted the house. " Let him come," they would reply, "we have conquered the original and we fear not the shade." In a few nights, however, they had reason to repent their gasconade—the ghost did appear! The Campbells were taking their supper, and widow M'Bean, with a tearful eye, and a heavy, broken heart, was standing behind them at the supper table, when a tall figure, wrapped up in white linen, walked into the room. Mrs. M'Bean shrieked, but the ghost walked up hastily—pressed her by the hand— led her out of the room—and said he would do "the honours of the table." A heavy crash and a low faint groan was now heard in the kitchen—another crash and another groan fol lowed—and so on till the fourth royalist lay lifeless on the floor! " They'll trouble you for no more supper, Mrs. M'Bean," said the mysterious visiter, as he came butt to the apartment where the members of the family were all stand ing in a group and trembling with consternation. " 0 Heavens!" replied the poor widow, "this will work out my ruin." " Never fear," said the stranger; "but get me a rope, that I may carry them to the river, and help them to digest their supper." While doing so, proud was Marion to relate how she had sent a trusty messenger to inform John Roy Stuart of the intolerable circumstances to which the Campbells were, day after day, subjecting the widow of his brave friend; and that hero, with a promptitude and courage which never forsook him, hastened to her relict, as I have related. Roy Stewart was too much an object of pursuit to accept of Mrs. M‘Bean's offer of a year's lodgings gratis; but he remained in the family for two days, and gave, it is said, the " finishing stroke" to the elegy already alluded to; and, judging front the march of the verse, the sublimity of the sentiments, and the neatness of the execution, it is very probable that there were more hands about it than those of the bereaved and soul-honoured widow. —Glasgow Consti tutional. WHEELER'S. MANCHESTER CHRONICLE has, within the last few days, changed hands. It is the oldest newspaper in Manchester, having been established about sixty years ago. It is understood to have been bought by a few conservatives, determined on having an organ of their real opinions both in politics and religion. Mr. Leicester, the present editor, will, it is said, be its future one. CHIPPENHAM.—It is a lamentable fact that, in consequence of the extravagant price of wheat, some of the poor in the vicinity of Chippenham are compelled to make bread from barley; and even this cannot be obtained by many, so that potatoes form their only food.— Welts Independent. SHOOTING AT POACHERS.—In the High Court of Jus ticiary, Edinburgh, on Tuesday week, James Duncan Ken nedy, Esq.., was tried on a charge of having wilfully and ma liciously discharged one or both barrels of a double-barrelled gun at the persons of David Fridge and Alexander Fridge, house carpenters, residing near Tuin, on thesth September, at a cottage occupied by Norman Stuart, on or near Wood bank, under the said Duncan Kennedy, Esq., and thereby wounding David and Alexander Fridge, to the serious injury of their persons. The indictment was laid at common law, and under the act 10 Geo. IV, c. 48, which constitute such offences capital. David Fridge said, that he and his cousin, A. Fridge, went out on the morning in question to see a friend, taking their guns with them, in order to have a shot; that each of them fired a shot, .not on the property of Bogbain, but not far distant from it, and the last was fired between four and five o'clock. Soon after this, on going towards Norman Smart's house, witness saw Mr. Kennedy standing at twenty-three or twenty-six yards distance, having a gun in his band; be called out, " Fridge, Fridge, stop !" At this time they had begun to run, and witness had not time to stop himself when a shot was fired, which bit him on the back and arm. Witness made for the wood, and as he entered it a second shot was tired, while he was getting up a little bank Witness continued to run till he got to a smith's shop at Arabella, about two miles off, and was unable from his wounds to go farther. Twelve pellets had taken effect; four of which were in the arm, one in the back of the head, six in the back, and one in the thigh. A number of witnesses bore testimony to the high character cif Mr. Kennedy as a respectable, humane, and benevolent man. The jury found a verdict of guilty against the prisoner, but notwith the in tention of doing any grievous bodily harm. Sentence was not not passed at the time, but on a subsequent day he was sen tenced to eight months' imprisonment. SPORTING IN7'ELLIGEKCE MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING. The engagements during the past few days exhibit a marked improvement in two or three horses. Lord Jersey's colt seems more in demand. The crack horse stood his ground until Monday, when our figure was laid against him. The following ate the odds, as indicated by the few engagements that have been made during the past week : SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14. The arrivals into this port, since Tuesday last, contain 3931 qrs. Wheat coastwise, 1182 of Irish and 1010 of foreign, together 6248 qrs; with 7426 qrs. Oats, 700 qrs. Barley, 5085 sacks Oatmeal, aud 30:2,3 sacks of Flour Iron : I„ The late excitement in Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal having materially subsided in the early past of this week, and buyers subsequently remaining inactive, the trade, from the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, was generally dull and un interesting. Bonded Wheat and Flour, being now admissible at the lowest rate of duty, the large surplus of former importations affording a liberal shew of the former article to-day, moderate sales only were effected this morning ; the general qualities of English and Foreign W heat receding in value about 2d., and Irish was much neglected, though offered at a decline of 2d. to 3d. per 70Ibs. Flour being still held at prices rela tively higher than Wheat, was literally unsaleable, and ap pears likely to continue so until the prices are in some degree proportionate. Malting Barley, which is still very scarce, fully supported our last quotations; and other descriptions, for grinding and distillation, command somewhat higher rates.—Beans and Peas remain in moderate demand, and maintain former prices. Having no extensive buyers down from the interior to-day, Oats were taken off very sparingly at a slight abatement ; and Oatmeal, being scarcely noticed, must be considered no minally rather cheaper.

THE SOUTHPORT COURSING MEETING.—At this meeting the members of the Ridgeway Club enjoyed some good sport. Many of the stakes were contested with great perseverance. The deciding course for the cup was in favour of Mr. Fel lows's fawn dog Flare-up, Mr. Craven's blue dog Carlos ran up. The coursing throughout the meeting was of a character highly creditable to the club. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. Business was slack to-day a`‘ theCOrnet;" nor was the attendance by any means so full as we generally find on a Monday. The changes in the Derby betting will be found to rest with Lord Jersey's two favourites; Ilderim rose to 15 to 1, taken, but afterwards offered ; while his leader (Brother to Bay Middleton) declined, at one moment, to 12 to 1, laid to £5O; he afterwards found a friend, who laid out £l5O at 11 to 1, the odds finally offered. Flambeau was in some force at 20 to 1, and two or three small bets were made on Accelerator at the same Price. Although there is a trifling nominal variation of the rest four or five horses, they are, its reality, in about the same degree of favour as on Monday.

A great quantity of additional warm clothing will be sent out to Canada, by the first packet, for the troops in that country. During the last severe gales, upwards of 100 lives were lost on the Dorsetshire coast, between the adjoining ports of Bridport and Weymouth. RAILWAY.—A few days ago, a meeting was held at Mans field, regarding the proposal of a railway from Nottingham to Sheffield, and a committee was formed. A memorial from the Bankers of London has been pre sented to the lords of the treasury, againstthe delivery of any letters at the general post office on Sundays. One of the gin palaces in London has actually its b ar furnished with glasses which hold one farthing's worth of g i n , and that small quantity is sold to dram drinkers. The commanding officer of a cavalry regiment h as , we understand, refused to receive into his corps any married officers. The matter is now likely to come before the autho rities at the Horse uGards. SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM ,RAILWAY. --W e are in formed that, from the let to the 30th November last, inclu sive, 37,644 passengers have been conveyed on the above railway, averaging more than 1,254 persons daily. HEART OF oAlc•—One of the piles used in the foundation of the old bridge at Lancaster was taken out a short time since, and found to be "as sound as an acorn," although it must have been under water at least 900 years. STATE OF TRADE.—The demand for yarn continues very dull, and spinners find great difficulty in obtaining an ad vance at all commensurate with the increased price of cotton. In goods, too, there is rather less business doing, though the demand for printing cloth continues fair, and at tolerably good prices.—Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 10.— There is little or no change to report in the flannel market to-day. During the last month, the demand for low-priced goods has been more than usually brisk, and there is no abatement in that demand to-day. The wool market remains steady and prices firm. COPPER CAPs.—A few days ago, as a clergyman's son, in the neighbourhood of Rotherham, was shooting, a fragment of the copper cap was driven into his eye, were it still remains. Mr. Overend, of Sheffield, under whose care he is, gives very little hopes of the sight of that eye being saved. Great care is necessary in the selection of copper caps. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The special general meet ing of the company is to be held in London on the 20th inst., for the purpose of receiving and considering the reports of Mr. Wood and Mr. Hawkshaw, who were appointed by the directors to give their opinion on the manner in which this railway has been formed. LONGEVITY OF WEAvnits.—There are 110 W living at Tottington-lnwer-End, near Bolton, six persons, in the em ploy of Mr. Bridge, manufacturer, whose united ages amount to 478, viz. :—Robert Booth 72, John Hill 88, John Barlow 84, William Rosthorn 78, and John Greenhalgh 72. The above persons all live within a mile of their employer's residence. SINGUL A II CIRCUMSTANCE.—A correspondent states, that as Mr. Longton was out shooting, at Hornby, on Monday last, he was greatly surprised, by coming upon two hares, each with two beads and six feet. He took aim, and was fortunate in shooting one of these remarkable animals, which is now, we understand, lying at Mr. Abbott's, Flatters' Arms, Bridge Lane; where it may be seen by the curious.—Lancaster Guardian. EARTHQUAKE.—On Thursday the 15th ult., a smart shock of an earthquake was sensibly felt at Kington, at eight o'clock in the morning. Jt was also experienced at Titley, Presteign, Knighton, the vale of Radnor, the Forest Llanfihangel, Llan degley, Penybont, Llandrindod Rhayader, Builth, Glascwm, Golva, Gladestrey, and intermediate country. In several places the rocking was so severe that many persons leaped out of bed, expecting their houses to fall. A rumbling noise like, distant thunder accompanied the concussion. There was a great calm, previously and after the shock. The wind was east; dense fog; therm. 35; bar. 29 8. The sensation was felt from north to south. DEATH FROM COLD.—On Tuesday week a poor woman, about sixty years of age (supposed to be a Welsh woman,) lost her life through the inclemency of the weather. She was on her way from Sheffield to Glossop, and called at the Snake Inn, in the Woodlands, where she had a basin of broth given her. She went from thence about two o'clock in the afternoon, along with a man and two boys; and when about two miles from the Royal Oak Inn, near Glossop. she became so be numbed with cold that the man who was with her could not get her along the road; and in a short time afterward the Regulator coach from Sheffield overtaking her, she was put inside; but when the coach arrived at the Norfolk Arms, and she was taken out, it was discovered that life was quite ex tinct. Mr. Murphy, nothing disconcerted, has brought out his Weather Almanack for 18.39; which is rather more explicit in its prognostications than his first, as well as snore flattering in its prospects of fine weather. The coming Christmas will, according to Murphy, be a bitter one; we are to have a storm on Christmas day ; frost sets iu three days before the new year, and lasts a fortnight, and after a week's intermission returns for a few days more. The general character of the weather is, however, favourable, for our climate, during the year. February, March, and April, have many days marked " fair ;" May is very "changeable," and June looks lower ing; but July and August wear a smiling and sunny aspect, and there is a good proportion of fine days in Septem ber; - the next year's October, too, may match with the one just passed; while the November is a great improvement on the present years's, and even dreary December shows a fair face.

T Martin & Son FROM THE LONDON PRICES CURRENT, December ]3, 1837. SUGAa.—This afternoon the advanced prices obtained last week were fully supported, but owing to the darkness which prevailed, there was not much business doing privately, either for the scale or pan, buyers not beinr , able to see the colours of the samples. Two public sales of Barbadoes, consisting of 237 hds 11 tcs 36 brls,went off with less spitrit, owing to the above cause having prevented several buyers from examining them, still all were sold at prices fully equal to those of the last auction ; fine brought 67s 6d to 68s, good 63s to 66s 6cl, good mid. &3s Gd to 64s ticl, mid 62s to 635, one lot ord 59s 6d. FOREIGN.—Prices continue very firm for white and yellow Ha vannah, and there has again been several inquiries, but the short supply at market has checked business, and the transactions have been confined to 300 boxes of the latter by private contract at 27s Gd for mid qualities. COFFEE.—TIiis afternoon the demand for East and West India was totally put a stop to by the announcement of 5000 bags CeV lon for auction on Tuesday next, and the whole of 57 casks iog bags Jamaica and Demerara at • public sale were bought in at late prices. PnoviszoNs.—The large supply of Irish produce during the past week have damped the markets for those kind of articles, but prices have scarcely undergone any depression. Irish Butter is taken off in small quantities only at about Is per cwt. below former rates. Bacon supports its previous value, but the trade buy spa ringly. Lard is selling steadily, and in some instances has brought advanced rates. For Dutch Butter the demand has not been lively, and to effect sales a decline of 2s per cwt. has been submitted to. fine realising only 102 s to 104 s per cwt. Cheese is still very dull generally, but prices cannot be quoted lower. Rimi, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—For Ruin there has been only a limited demand, hnt importers remain firm, and buyers have been compelled to pay rather higher prices for Lecwards ; Jamaica has maintained former rates. Some fine and strong Demerara, for which 5s was offered, was withdrawn from the market for the present. Tne demand for Brandy has again been limited, both for home consumption and export, and prices 2d per gallon under those of last week have 'peen accepted. In Geneva the transactions have been trivial. IRISH PRODUCE AND MANUFACTURE. DUBLIN, December, 7. BrucK—Tullamore per thousand 30s to 325.

The Butter market is very quiet. A continuance of the present fine open weather for a little time, will, we think. induce holders to meet consumers more freely.—The transactions in Beef and Pork are to no great extent ;—there are, however, several inquiries for the latter article on North American account.—Bacon and Hams unaltered in price—demand good.

The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been exceedingly large, but the quality has been only middling; a great number being very small and inferior Beef, and there being many country buyers present, and a selling market, the principal part of the Beasts have been sold up, and those that were of good quality have realised great prices, even larger than last week. We have also had a larger supply of Sheep than the preceding week, and prices much the same, but M utton has not been so largely in demand as Beef, and there have been a few left unsold at the close of the market, although throughout it may be considered a very brisk one. The best Beef was readily sold at from 50 to Gd, middling 5d to 50, ordinary at about 40 per lb, but principally at the antecedent prices. Good Wether Mutton may be quoted at from 60 to 60, with some as high as 7d, middling and Ewes - Gd, with a few of very ordinary quality at sid per lh.

There has only been a moderate business doing in Cotton during the last two days, being yesterday 3503, and to-day 3,000 hales, all to the trade. 'Prices are a shade lower than on Friday last. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. H. Our receipts of Irish Produce are this week large; there is also - a good supply coastwise—especially of foreign Wheat from Lon don. There has been less activity in the demand for Wheat during the last ten days than for some time previous without producing much, if any, disposition on the part of holders to force sales, and with little or no effect on its value. The best samples of English White have reached Ils, red 12s; the liner qualities of foieign white have brought Ils 9d to 12s 3d; red lls to Its Gd ; ordinary runs lOs to lOs 9d; the top price for Irish new 'is I3s9d ; whilst inferior parcels are offering at Os to 9s 6d per ;Gibs. Flour has been neglected, and, in some instances, lower rates have been accepted ; 63s to 65s may be considered extreme quotations for Irish, and 64s to Vs per sack for English manufacture. Oats have found a pretty . free vend at fully the rates of Tuesday; 3s 9d to 3s 10d having been paid for good, and 3s Ild per 451 b for the best mealing quali ties. Large sales have also been made in Oatmeal, at 35s to 35s Gd per load. Barley has met a brisk demand ; both maltsters and dis tillers have been free buyers, and not only have the receipts coast wise been all cleared off, but some quantity has been bought, to arrive by inland navigation. Prices of English have ruled from 42s to 4Gs per imperial quarter, and for Irish from 5s lid to Os per 601bs. The trade have been buyers of Malt to some extent ; the best has realised 66s per imperial quarter. English old Beans are saleable at 40s to 52s ; new, at 4.:s to 46s per imperial quarter. Some parcels of Irish new have been disposed of at 44s to 45s per 4601b5. Pease are scarce, and command our highest quotations. In bonded Wheat little has been done : in fact, holders are demanding prices nearly on a 'par with the qe otations free. Some parcels of Oats, under lock, have changed hands at 2s ad to 3s per 451bs. At this morning's market Wheat met only a very limited sale though generally offered at a decline of 3cl per bushel on the quo tations of last Tuesday. Flour was is per sack and Oatmeal Gd to 9d per load cheaper. Oats were held for previous rates. and a few parcels were taken off the market to hold over. There was rather less demand for Barley than at the close of the week, hut 46s per imperial quarter was paid for chevalier. A cargo of French Wheat was sold at 12s per 10Ibs in bond.
