MISCELLANEOUS A CASE OF MONOMANIA.--A gentleman, who fancied himself a pendulum, always went on tick, and never disco vered his delusion until he was carefully wound up in the Queen's Bench. The Colonial Ofiir grant ships w , ment, till Mar ssued notice, that no more emi- contract of govern- THE PRINCE OF WALES.—We hear that the infant prince is to be named Albert Edward, after his royal father and grandfather, and that the Queen Dowager and the Duke of Saxe Coburg are to be the sponsors.—Standard. THE BREVET.—The very •liberal promotions of the late brevet may be best estimated by the increased cost to the country, which we understand will amount to very nearly £40,000 per annum, reducible, of course, as the lives fall in. • FORBIDDEN Booxs.—The papal government, by a decree, dated the 15th ult., has placed several new works in the In dex. Among the works thus honoured are Ranke's " His tory of the Popes," the novels of Balzac, and various Belgian, Spanish, and German works, mostly of a religious or histori cal character. No English book figures in the list, nor, with the exception of Balzac's novels, is any French work in cluded. - - - - - --- . FEMALE HEROISM.—On the evening of the 6th instant, a man named John Murphy entered the bedchamber of Mr. Peter Duffy, of Solicitor's Point, Dundalk, and took from a chest some clothes. His servant maid perceived the thief, and instantly seized him. He then knocked her down ; but she still kept hold, crying out for assistance. She was dragged from the top room down the stairs into the hall, where she succeeded in wresting the bundle from him, and then ran to give the inmates alarm, who lost no time in pur suing, and succeeded in apprehending the ruffian, who was fully committed. Mr. Ashton Yates deposited £14,000 at the late election in the hands of Mr. O'Connell towards defraying the expenses attendant thereon ; and it is alleged that, from that hour to the present, Mr. O'Connell has forgotten to refund one shil hug of the money to pay up the debts—or to reply to the numberless communications that are being daily made to him upon this subject. The radicals are outrageous at his conduct.—Carlow Sentinel. THE CHRISTENING OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.—Our readers will recollect, that a bottle of genuine water from the river Jordan was sent to this country as a present to the queen, to be used at the christening of the princess royal. After that interesting ceremony, the water was ordered to be carefully preserved, and the bottle sealed. It is, therefore, almost superfluous to say, that the precious element is des tined to perform the same office at the christening of the Prince of Wales.—Court Journal. WHALES AT DOVER.—The inhabitants of Dover, Folk stone, and adjacent places, have lately been surprised with visits from some huge monsters of the deep. Three or four times a whale has been "spouting" off Dover; and we un derstand that, in the early part of this week, two or three whales and two sharks (though we doubt the latter having appeared) have been observed off Folkstone. doubtless driven upon that coast by the late rough weather.—Canterbury Journal. MONACHISM AT OXFORD.—Mr. Newman, vicar of St. Mary's the Virgin, is building several sets of chambers, for the • reception of young men (candidates for orders, or for monastic institutions in contemplation), in his parish, at Littlemore. And we beg to direct the heads of colleges to an investigation of the fact, whether several young men, bound by oath to celibacy and monastic vows, are not now receiving a gratuitous education in the university, from par ties who have no special interest in them. The Bishop of Oxford, where is he l—Oxford Chronicle. Lord Denman last week gave judgment in the Bridgewater town council cause, respecting the ineligibility of townsmen to hold office in the council who have a beneficial interest in the property of the borough. His lordship said he was' of opinion that a lease was a contract ; but he had doubts in his mind whether a person holding a lease under the old corpo rations, and being a member of the new body, was disqualified by the words of the new municipal law. This, if correctly reported, must be a very unsatisfactory judgment. It is, indeed, no decision of the case.—Bath Journal. • SERIOUS Loss.—An unfortunate circumstance occurred on Thursday week, in connection with Mr. Tucker, a clerk, in the employ of Messrs. J. and F. Savage, of Bristol. He came from Reading in the afternoon by t hel railway, with bills and banknotes in his possession, to the amount of £365. On leaving the terminus he proceeded to his residence on Marlborough hill, and the next morning he discovered that he had lost his pocket-book, containing the bills and notes. The last time he had seen it was at Reading. The property consists of eight ten-pound Marlborough notes, of Hillier and Co.'s bank ; a one-hundred pound bank post bill, paid at Reading ; a bill for twenty pounds, drawn by Wm. Fisher, Stroud, a fifteen-pound Bank of England post-bill ; and one hundred and forty pounds in five-pound notes of Bristol, Bath, and Bank of England notes. A reward of £5O is offered for their recovery. SUDBURY, Nov. 10.—We have the utmost gratification in being enabled to state, that since her Majesty the Queen Dowager's health first began to amend, the improvement, although gradual, has been constant, and that her perfect re covery, should no unexpected relapse take place, may be con fidently expected. The distressing cough by which she was so constantly disquieted has in a great measure been abated, and she is able in consequence to enjoy every night several hours of regular and unbroken repose. The salutary effects of this refreshing sleep have already become apparent. Her Majesty now sits up from eight to ten hours every day with out fatigue, and has attained sufficient strength to walk about her room unassisted. Sir D. Davies still remains in attend ance, and, with the exception of Lady Gore and her daugh ters, constitutes the only addition to the ordinary party at Sudbury-hall. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morning last, as an engine was drawing a train of coal waggons from the Havdock colliery, along the Dallam Lane branch of the Grand Junction Railway, near Warrington, by some acci dent, a little boy seven years of age, named John Sephton, a nephew of the engineer, was killed by the wheels of the en gine and waggon passing over him. It appears that the neighbouring highway, Dallam Lane, is in such a state that people-cannot walk upon it ; and, consequently, they trespass upon the railway. This boy had on several former occasions been caught riding on the engine, and punished for it, and it was supposed he was attempting to get upon the engine, and had fallen. An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, before Mr. Heyes, and the jury returned a verdict of " Acci dental death," with a deodand of 20s. on the engine ; at the same time recommending that the trustees or surveyors of Dallam Lane should be summoned for not keeping the road in repair. MURDER. AT THE MANCHESTER WORKHOUSE. — On Tuesday evening last, a barbarous and unprovoked assault, attended with fatal results, was made on a poor old man, named Peter Jackson, a pauper in the Manchester work house, by a fellow inmate, named Timothy Hetherington. Those who witnessed the assault observed nothing in Jack son's conduct calculated to excite the angry feelings of his assailant; and it is therefore supposed, that the wanton ferocity which he displayed was the effect of temporary in sanity, particalarly as he had recently been subject to fits of lunacy. Jackson was 67 years of age, and had been upwards of four years in the workhouse, during which time he con ducted himself remarkably well. On Tuesday afternoon, Jackson was standing in the men's day room : and Hether ington, the moment he entered, seized him by the collar, threw him down on his back, and kicked him on the head and side several times with great violence. Several persons happened to be within view at the time, who ran to the old man's assistance, and gave Hetherington into the custody of the police. Medical aid was procured for Jackson; but he died on Thursday from the wounds which he had received. — Yesterday, Hetherington was placed at the bar of the Bo rough Court, before C. J. S. Walker, Esq., charged with wilful murder. The assault having been proved, he was re manded until the result of the coroner's inquest was known. Last night the inquest was held at the workhouse, on view of the body, before Mr. Rutter, when, in addition to the above mentioned facts, it was stated, that a fortnight ago the pri soner threatened to make a cripple of deceased, unless he re funded 18d. which the prisoner had lent him ; and Hether ington himself voluntarily stated, that he assaulted deceased because he said he would not pay him. Mr. Snape, the workhouse surgeon, deposed that the deceased came to him for medical aid on Tuesday evening about half-past six o'clock, and was then labouring under a great difficulty of breathing. He complained of acute pain in his side ; and, on a post mortem examination, it was found that one of the fractured ribs had penetrated the right lung, which injury produced inflammation in that part. There was much effused blood under the skin, caused by external violence. The left lune was also in a diseased state, deceased having been labouring under asthma and chronic affection of the lungs for some time previously. The external violenee he had suffered was sufficient to account for his death. The pri soner was twice under restraint, about four months ago, in consequence of mania, induced by epilepsy. From the tes timony of Mr. Robinson, governor of the workhouse, it ap peared that the prisoner was 30 y ears o f age ; th a t he was dangerously violent when he received any provocation, and that he had been frequently confined for outrageous conduct, The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the prisoner.—Manchester Guardian of Saturday. THE OPINION OF THE AMERICANS 'RESPECTING THE AGITATION FOIL THE REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS.--We have been favoured by a friend in Birmingham, with the fol lowing extract from a letter, received from a gentleman re siding in New York, on the repeal of the corn-laws. The letter from which the quotation is made, was received in Birmingham on Saturday last :—" The people here laugh at the English about their agitation in favour of a repeal of their corn-laws. I have asked a great many farmers, with whom I ant acquainted, respecting the price of flour, and they as sure me, one and all, that flour cannot be produced here under five dollars a barrel,—and it is sometimes as , high as eighteen and twenty dollars a barrel. It is selling at the pre sent time at seven dollars and a half per barrel. A barrel of flour weighs 196 lbs. It is well understood here that your corn-law agitation is got up by the Manchester manufac turers, and the Yankees laugh at the English people for their ignorance and infatuation. - Bread is as as it is in England; meat is dearer ; butter is also dearer, and these are the three principal articles in housekeeping." We have also another extract from the same letter, on the subject of negro emancipation, which is worthy of notice :—" Things are in an unsettled state here. There are constantly riots and fights between the Whites and the Blacks. The libera- tiou of the Blacks is considered the greatest curse that ever happeneTinthiscoUniiy ; they are too idle to work, and are the greatest thieves in existence, Eighteen out of twenty who are t r i e d f or theft are Blacks ; if a man offends them h they will set fi re t o hi s house. There was a black woman executed since 1 came here, for arson. Joseph Sturge was here a short time his r a r , for about six weeks, and was glad to get away with t l h f e th s e la y v c e ould catch him anywhere up the country, in states, they would Lynch him.

TAE MYERScouG ROBBERY.—The following is the confession of one of li th men now in custody as being con cerned in this robbery, taken e on the 7th instant :—Having agreed with John Knowles, Thomas Wilding, Thomas Wignall, and another the call Joseph, to rob the house of John Cottam, at Mayers Y cou on the evening of Saturday, the 27th of last month, I foll d them to the house, and about eight o'clock found thernowZ awaiting for me in the shippon. We all remained there for a few minutes, when, Knowles seeing Cotton op en the door, went first; Thomas Wildi ng followed next, Jeps the on, and n myself and Wignall. p Knowles, Wilding, and Jeson, had been e L) , had got some in the house a more .itort time before I went in. I money, and were insi stin g upon having door was first opened, I said —shoot him, ao ; d and when the others used threats. We were all in the house some t of the an hour. After making search through the hous hi e think about up stairs, and looked into two of the rooms. We fastened fa l went the inmates to some chairs, left then ouse and came st s l t . n e • n 2 e h d t away to Preston. I left the party ear ;he lime-kilns, l L; far from Tulketh-hall. I think Knowles took all the money. Just before I left them, Knowles was counting out the money, and he then gave me eight hall-crowns. I did not get any more money until a day or two after the hand-bills about the robbery had been posted , when Wilding brought me three pounds more—one sovereign • and two pounds in silver. I said that was not a fair share. I don't r ecollect whetherinall. he said anything in reply. I have had onl y four pounds I have spent ss. 6d. out of it. I saw Knowles leave the stolen watch on the road. It was a small one. I asked him what time it was, and he said it was not going. I received the £3 in Lady-street, and Jepson was there with Wilding. We had several new pistols with us, and some of the party said they came from Caton's. There were two old umbrellas and two pairs of stockings taken. I think Jepson had one pair of the stockings, and I think the umbrellas were thrown away before we reached Preston.—Prestox pager. The Grand Jo:lotion Railway Company officially announcied on the Ist inst., that they had " reduced the tonnage rate or toll on cotton and other wool, ;s, anti -manufa, on passen- We ;o one penny per ton per mil gers to four-fifths of a penny per passenger per mile trust the experiment will prove amply successful. LIBERAL REGARD FOR THE SUFFERINGS OF THE POOR —A "liberal" of the purest water, on being solicited, a few days ago, to contribute to the fund now raising for the relief of the poor of the parish of All Salnts, replied with charac teristic coarseness and petulance—" No, not a farthing till the corn laws are repealed." It is m uch to be feared that here, us everywhere else, our charities would cut figure but for the aid and countenance of the " gi tyrannical tories."—Newcastle Journal. A correspondent of the Birmingham Herald writes understand a commission is to be appointed immediately, to examine receivers and collectors of taxes, with a view to a reduction of the expenditure, and for the adoption of a me thod of discovering any illegal practices among collectors, many of whom have been obliged to pay heavy penalties lately, in consequence of verdicts obtained against them in the Court of Exchequer; two are recorded of £7OO each. We would advise all persons paying queen's taxes to keep their receipts." RAILWAY SIIAILIMOLDMIS.—The Dublin Evening Mail states that a trial took place in the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Wednesday last, in which the Drogheda Railway Company succeeded in obtaining a verdict against one of their defaulting shareholders who declined paying up his in stalments in pursuance of the provisions contained in the act of parliament under which the company is incorporated. The value of this verdict consists, not so much in the amount of the sum recovered, as that it puts an end to further litigation in reference to the question raised by the issue, and decides the class of cases similarly circumstanced. EDUCATION.—The six English counties having the great est proportion of schools, are Cumberland, Durham, Middle sex, Northumberland, Rutland, and Westmorland ; in which the schools are, one for every 727 inhabitants ; and the crimi nal offenders, one for every 1156 inhabitants. The six coun ties that have the smallest proportion of schools are, Chester, Dorset, Hereford, Lancaster. Northampton, and Somerset ; in which the schools are one for every 1540 inhabitants ; and the criminal offenders, one for every 528 inhabitants. In Essex, Gloucester, Hertford, Middlesex, Somerset, and War wick, we find one criminal offender, in the annual lists of government, for every 449 inhabitants ; and only one school for every 1069 inhabitants; on the other hand, in Cornwall, Cumberland, Derby, Durham, Northumberland, and West morland, we have only one criminal to every 1309 inhabi tants ; while we have one school for every 839 inhabitants. In other words, there are six counties in England that have nearly three times the amount of crime found in six other other counties ; and the counties with the least crime, have one-fourth more schools than the counties in which crime abounds. ARE TITHES A GRIEVANCE ?—As a mere pecuniary burden especially as the law at present exists, tithes cannot press a s all upon Roman Catholic farmers ; it is really, as it alway_ has been, a portion of that which otherwise would be avail_ able to the landlord. The landlords are the bona fide tithe payers, and if tithes were done away in reality, as well as in name, they would alone be the gainers. The total amount of tithe payable to the clergy of the Irish church amounts, in round numbers, to about £300,000; of this the landlords in fee, that are Roman Catholics, pay only obout £14,000, so. little grounds have they for asserting that the Established Church is supported in whole, ore even chiefly, by the Roman Catholics. Indeed, under the existing state of the law, the tithe is already scarcely noticed by the majority of tenants. In a short time, if left to themselves, the name of it will be almost forgotten, and unless some strange revolution takes place there cannot be any successful agitation in regard of it. Some such measure as that which Lord Alvanley recommends is the most likely means of producing such an unfortunate result.—Lord Roden's Observations on Ireland. " WHO SHALL DECIDE ?" &c.—At the meeting held at Wakefield, to agree upon addresses to the Queen and Prince Albert, on the birth of the Duke of Cornwall, a serious difference arose between the two learned doctors, as to whether or not there was any danger in childbirth, as the words of the address expressed. Dr. C. Crowther declared there was no danger in childbirth, and seriously objected and protested against the foolish fear of that danger, which this address was likely to spread. Mr. Statter, on the other band, who prided himself on being the oldest practitioner in Wakefield, and " on having had more to do with childbirths than any other man in the town," staked his professional reputation on the fact that there was danger, and sometimes very great danger. In deference to the oldest practitioner, Dr. Caleb Crowther waived his objection, and the words " great dan ger" were declared to be worthy of insertion, amid the pro longed cheers of the meeting. INGENIOUS MODE OF ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY.—Of the many cunning contrivances to escape from slavery, we think the following is about the most shrewd we have heard yet. Two slaves in a certain county of Virginia ran away with one of their master's horses. The, started very early in the morning, in the following fashion :—One of the slaves fastened a strong rope round the other's body, tied him to the saddle and drove off. When met and qnestioned, the rider answered, " That black rascal undertook to run away from massa. I've caught him, and am taking him home, quick step. I guess he won't be for running away again in a hurry, after massa's had the cooking of him." This failed not to elicit warm ap probation, accompanied with hospitable offers of refreshment for himself and his horse. When arrived at a convenient place, the slaves exchanged places • the rider submitting to the rope in his turn, while the other performed his part to admiration ; and like him, received assistance and praise for his honest zeal in his master's service. Thus they journeyed " in tye," till they reached Pennsylvania, when the rope was no longer necessary. Thence they passed over into Canada. —American- Paper. THE MASTER OUTWITTED.—At a ploughing match, which recently took place at a village within six miles of Chesterfield, the following amusing adventure occurred :—A boy asked his master to allow him to attend it. " Oh, no," said the master, " I have plenty of work for you at home ;" upon which the boy went quietly to work in his master's field. In the course of a short time the master prepared himself to attend the meeting, but thought it proper, on his way, to call and see how the boy was getting on in the field. As he did not plough exactly to his master's satisfaction, the latter dismOunted from his nag, threw the bridle over a gate, and told the boy he would teach hire to plough. He there fore commenced working and talking—supposing the boy was behind, paying attention to all that he said ; but, on ar riving at the other end of the field, to his great surprise and mortification he found the boy was gone, leaving his master in charge of the animals. There was no other alternative for him but to take them home, where he found the boy, in ap parent indifference to the business. The master severely re primanded him for his conduct, and once more set off to the field of sport. The boy, however, again outwitted him, hav ing arrived there before his master, with his plough and horses ; and having started as a competitor for the prize, which he won. It is expected that the master will not hear the last of the joke to the end of his days, TAKING THE VEIL. — The Roman Catholics, when they first broached the project of establishing a nunnery in the suburbs of this Protestant metropolis, did so with their usual cunning and circumspection. It was introduced to the public under the innocent designation of " A. Seminary for the Education of Young Ladies," and any one who breathed a whisper as to the real objects of the institution, was threatened with a prosecution for libel. Gradually, however, has the mask been dropped ; and now under the auspices of the am bitious lecturer in Broughton-street, Bishop Gillis, public exhibitions of the ceremony of taking the veil are regularly made, and the quasi boarding-school is proclaimed, in open day, to be nothing more nor less than a Popish Nunnery. One of these truly melancholy spectacles of knavery and superstition, took place on Wednesday last, in the nunnery alluded to, which is situated at the head of Bruntsfield Links, before a select assembly of Papists and Protestants, the latter, of course attracted by mere curiosity, to see how the interest ing drama would be conducted. We understand that there were three orders of nuns consecrated, as it is impiously termed, on this occasion. One young girl, evidently either the dupe of priests, or of her own diseased fancies took the first veil, which bound her to remain a close prisoner for one year ; two took the second veil, and immured them selves for five years, and an interesting looking young lady took the " vows" for life. On this last victim the chief interest was centered—a mock funeral service was per formed, and having prostrated herself on the marble floor of the chapel a pall was laid over her, and the bishop, after much impressive palaver, consigned her to a living death. The burial-rites occupied fully half an hour, during which time this infatuated sacrifice lay prostrate upon the cold ground. The feelings excited by the proceedings, on the part of the protestants at least, must have been of the most painful kind. How they could witness this auto da fe with out testifying their indignation and horror in a manner not to be mistaken by the actors and agents, is certainly more than we can imagine. In a moral and religious sense, after such an exhibition, how can Christians pretend to look with detestation upon or attempt to abolish the atrocities of Juggernaut or the Suttee? Of course these proceedings are as illegal as they are disgusting, and although the unhappy victims, or rather blinned devotees, are deluded into the belief that they are bound and may be compelled to submit to the consequences of their infatuation ; it is in the power of their families to rescue them from the unhallowed meshes cast around them by the myrmidons of popery. What renders such unnatural practices more odious is the fact that the end of these pretended religious ceremonies is, that the property of the victims passes into the hands of the priests, who thus make religion a mere conduit for conveying into their own pockets the means of those whom they dupe and sacrifice at one and the same time.—Edinburgh Post. CAVANAGH, TIIB " FASTING " IMPOSTOR.—This fellow is not yet sufficiently recovered from the effects of his nine or ten days' partial abstinence from food in Reading gaol to undergo the exercise of the wheel ; nor has he yet been allowed by the medical officers of the prison, in consequence of the weak state of his stomach at present, to take animal food. This " fasting " worthy, however, is allowed two pints of pretty stiff gruel and four rounds of toast daily, with the ad dition, every alternate day, of a pint of soup. The whole of these allowances he regularly consumes, and with a capital appetite into the bargain. Cavanagh admits that he managed to gull the public pretty well outside the gaol ; but that as soon as he got inside he expected to be bowled out. His hopes were that if he could have managed to keep up the deception for a week, the magistrates would have been im pressed with the belief that he was not an impostor, and have therefore liberated him. Before he was detected, he was generally found in his cell upon his knees, a posture he has not since been once seen in. Tiernan, who acted as a sort of showman to the " fasting" knave, and who is incarcerated in the same prison, states that when the fellow exhibited him self in Dublin, as a miracle, he received as much as £2O and sometimes £3O a-day, from the hundreds of visitors who flocked to see him. It does not appear that Tiernan was wholly in Cavanagh's confidence. He says be never saw him eat while he was with birn ; but he always had his suspicions that he did. ENOUGH.—How many toil on, disquiet, and harass them selves, as, if desperately struggling against poverty, at the same time that they are surrounded with abundance !—have not only enough, but more than enough—far more, in fact, than they actually enjoy. Still they go on, worrying them selves incessantly in the endeavour to grasp at increase of superfluity, as if under the influence of some fatal spell. To the tasks of labour there are seasons of intermission, but to the toils imposed by the vain endeavour to satisfy imaginary wants, there are none; it is like attempting to fill the cup of the Daniades, or to destroy the fabled Hydra by cutting off its head. For one wish of the kind that is gratified, two others, at least, more desperately craving still, start up in its stead. It would be better were we more frequently to look at those below, and gaze at those above us, than we now do. It is true, we often turn our eyes in the first-mentioned direction, but then it is gene rally to look down with unpitying indifference or contempt on those less favoured than ourselves—rather for the pur pose of indulging our pride and self-conceit, than with feelings of gratitude at perceiving how much our worldly portion exceeds our deserts, when compared with that of numbers whose real merits may far exceed our own. The praise of the envious is far less creditable then their censures •, they praise only that which they surpass ; but that which surpasses them they censure. To be happy in old age, it is s t et little better tte in r ; old ; age necessary that w e accus t om ourse l ves to obj ec ts that can ac company the mind a ll th e wa y th roug h lif e , an d that we take the rest as good in their day.

MAY BREACIT OF PROMISE CASE. — The ease of Snape v. Dick (the Member for Weldon) was struck off the list on Saturday week, because the plaintiff's attorne his recorc 'he action, however will come on shortly, as Mr. Quintin Dick rej like compromise, and is resolved to defend. cts anything AFFLICTING OCCURRENCE.-011 Saturday, two carts of Messrs. Milne and Co.were passing Crompton Fold, near Oldham, when they were accidentally driven over a child of three years of age, named Jane Seville, daughter of Mr. Jas. Seville, of Crompton Fold ; the girl was so injured that she died in a short time ; the carter seemed much affected by the affair. The coroner's inquest was held on Monday, at Jubilee Inn, Crompton. Verdict; " Accidental death." THE CENSUS AND THE LADlES.—According to the official document just published, detailing the total amount of the population of Great Britain, we find that the ladies have the advantage in point of number over their " lords" in every English county except the following :—Derby, Hereford, Lincoln, Monmouth, Rutland, and Stafford : in Westmore land the gentlemen are in a minority of one !—the number being, males, 28,234, females 28,235. There are but two counties in the whole of Scotland, namely, Dumbarton and Linlithgow, in which the lads outnumber the lasses: The county of Cornwall is so extensively undermined, that churches and church-yards, mansion-houses and hostelries, are many of them suspended over a yawning gulph, and in danger of crushing the lives out of some scores of adventu rous miners. We read in the Cornwall Gazette of last week the following " narrow escape" :—" On Tuesday, at Mogan, as the wife of a labourer called Dunstone was crossing her kitchen, the ground suddenly gave way, and she was left suspended by her arms over a shaft, but fortunately was rescued from her perilous situation without any injury.', RAISING OF THE BLOCKADE OF THE COAST OF CANTA BRIA.—The following important letter has been received by the secretary at Lloyd's : " 37, Old Broad street, Dec. 10. " Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that I have just received a despatch from my government, in which 1 am directed to apprise the commerce of this country that the blockade of the coast of Cantabria is raised. " I have the honour to be your obedient servant, " JOSE MARIA BARRERO " To Mr. W. Dobson, Secretary at Lloyd's." ALL-TRIUMPHANT STEAM.—The Great Western fired her signal of arrival in Kingroad (ten miles from Bristol, at the mouth of the river), at half-past ten on Monday night, in 13 days only from New York. The reporter of The Times went on board, and left her again with the despatches, in an open boat, and in a gale of wind, before 11. He reached London by the mail train at half-past five. The intelligence was printed, and despatched again to Bristol by one of the regular trains, and a copy of The Times was in the cabin of the Great Western, in the roadsted, by 1 o'clock p.m. These are the wonders of steam navigation, steam travelling, and steam printing.—Mechanics' Magazine. We are informed that lately an eminent shipbuilder of one of the outports, upon reading the dimensions recorded as those of the Ark, was so struck with the just proportions that prevaded the whole plan of construction, and the similitude that it bore to that in use at the present day, that he applied himself to the formation of a model which would explain at sight the character and capacity of the huge vessel so well known in religious history; and, to exhibit how little our largest ships vary from her admeasurement, a model of the British Queen has also been constructed on the same scale. In both these works of art the proportions are ob served to the greatest nicety. It is understood that the models will be presented for exhibition by the ingenious projector to some public institution in the metropolis.— Shipping Gazette. A gentleman from the city called at the Treasury yester day, where he gathered that as soon as parliament meets there will be an inquiry into the exchequer-bill fraud ; but that there is no intention to appoint any commission to decide upon the case of the innocent holders of the forged bills. This is anything but consolatory to the parties so situated, for a parliamentary inquiry will be sure to occupy a very long time, and then, for aught appears to the contrary, the point elicited will be, rather how to prevent such frauds i►l future, than any consideration for those who have been the sufferers by them. Hence it is clear that nothing is to be expected, either from the Treasury or from any voluntary assistance, in the way of promoting compensation, when parliament shall assemble, in which alone the proper remedy must lie.— London Times of Saturday. GRACE DARLING'S FATHER AGAIN. Early on the morning of the 26th ult. the schooner Dart, Peter Clark, master, of Limekilns, from Aberdeen, with a cargo of pota toes, struck on the Nistone, near the outer Fern Islands. The sea being high, the crew escaped in the boat, and landed at the Longstone lighthouse. When the morning dawned it was found that the vessel had disappeared. A schooner, however, was observed in the offing, apparently under no command, and it was concluded that she might be the Dart. Darling, his son, and the crew immediately proceeded towards her in Darling's boat, and got on board when she was eight miles from the land, and six feet water in the hold. Everything was done to save the ship and cargo. A flag of distress brought Mr. Thomas Smith and a crew from the inner lighthouse ; and being thus strengthened, by great exertions they were enabled to get the vessel into North Sunderland the following night. She has since been taken to Berwick to repair.—Edinburgh paper. DESPERATE FRACAS.—The Ten Towns' Messenger re ports proceedings before the Mayor of Shrewsbury, wherein Dr. Mackenzie, the editor of the Salopian Journal, and formerly of Liverpool, and Count Albizzi, a French teacher, were the parties accused of a desperate fracas. The Salopian Journal had given offence to the count by a severe critique on the performances of a young lady at the Shrewsbury Musical Festival. A violent paper war was carried on be tween them for some time, in which the most abusive epithets were exchanged. At length the count waited on the editor to exchange blows. Dr. Mackenzie was knocked down, and the count, placing his foot on his fallen enemy, commenced belabouring him with a stick. The editor then drew forth a pistol, and threatened to shoot his assailant if he did not liberate him, The pistol was fortunately wrenched from his hand by a police-officer before any mischief was done. The magistrates bound over both parties to keep the peace. THE LATE SIR FRANCIS CHANTREY'S WlLL.—This truly great man has exhibited in the disposition of his pro perty all those beneficent principles which obtained for him while living the warm friendship of a numerous and most distinguished circle. Towards those who have been most closely associated with him in his professional avocations he has evinced a high-minded appreciation of their talents and services. To Mr. Allan Cunningham, who has for more than 30 years officiated as his secretary and manager of his financial department, he has bequeathed the sum of £2OOO, with a proviso that Mr. Cunningham shall remain in the ex ercise of his duties until the close of the establishment. We need scarcely add that Mr. Cunningham has long been favourably known to the public as a literary man. To Mr. Henry Weekes, who, for the last 15 years, has been his chief artist, he has left £l,OOO, on condition that he will complete the works in progress at the time of the testator's decease ; a strong proof of the high estimation in which he held the talents of this gentleman. Handsome legacies are left to the executors, and Sir Francis not having any issue, the remain der of his ample fortune and property is left to Lady Chan trey for her life, and at her decease to be employed in the promotion of the fine arts in such a manner as will form the noblest and most imperishable. monument to his fame.

It is said that Sir Robert Peel employs the present parlia mentary recess in making inquiries as to the prices, the rates of wages, the condition of the labouriug classes, and generally the resources of the corn countries in Europe and Asia. It is acknowledged that these inquiries, if properly made, are likely to prove useful, which is an admission that they are unnecessary to a perfect knowledge of the subject, and, as such, they sufficiently justify the premier's refusal to im provise a repeal or modification of the corn laws, when strongly urged to do so about two months ago ; the necessity for these inquiries, too, even up to the present time, reflects an unfavourable ight upon the rash enterprise of the late cabinet, made so long ago as the month of April, and if we believe its authors—which, however, in candour, we own not to be the case—determined upon twelve months ago. The inquiry ascribed to Sir Robert Peel is perfectly in accordance with the conscientious and prudent character of the states man to whose care the destinies of the empire are so happily committed. Nearly thirty years ago the late Mr. Cobbett, no complimentary critic, acknowledged that " Mr. Peel was distinguished from every other politician of the time by the care which he took always to make himself thoroughly ac quainted with facts." And whoever has watched the right lion. Bart.'s course can scarcely have failed to observe that, excelling as lie does excel, all competitors in the qualities of a public speaker, lie excels them still more in a perfect knowledge of the facts connected with every great question that comes before parliament. This is the characteristic which distinguishes Sir Robert from the great statesmen of past ages, as well as from the greatest among its con temporaries. He has never in thirty years been caught tripping, never found in a mis-statement, or even a mistake, as to the matter of faet—this must be the fruit of extra ordinary sagacity, sound judgment, and immense labour, stimulated by conscientious zeal—attributes of a statesman scarcely enhanced in value by even Sir Robert Peel's elo quence. The research which the right hon. baronet is now understood to be prosecuting must have results, the value of which it is difficult to overrate, although we can easily enough anticipate, from information already in our hands, what these results will be.—Standard. AURICULAR CONFESSION.—It has been recently pro claimed from the pulpit of St. Mary's, at Oxford, (says the Morning Herald,) in a discourse preached and published by the Rev. Professor Baden Powell, that the Popish ceremony of auricular confession is notoriously administered by certain Puseyite clergymen to their deluded devotees. This is a grave accusation delivered by an eminent profes sor i n th e face of the heads of houses and of the whole University. It is such a charge as demands, in our opinion, the immediate investigation of the Bishop of Oxford. If unfounded, this preacher should be gravely . admonished not to deal in such rash and dangerous accusations against his brethren. If it can be substantiated, the accuser and the acc use d s h ou ld b e confronted with each other ; and if it can b e b roug ht h ome to any clergymen resident officially in his lordship's diocese, we hesitate not to assert, that however high in station, or irreproachable in character, such a clerk sh ou ld b e f or th w i t h suspended from his spiritual functions , with an i n ti ma ti on that for a second offence he would be at once an d f or ever deprived of the power of exercising his clerical duties in the diocese of Oxford. We have not noticed this circumstance before, in the hope that some proper notice would have been taken by the Ordinary ; but as two or thr ee wee k s h ave s i nce intervened, we deem it right , . to draw the atte n ti on o f th e University and the public to this mostimportant fact. It is too plain that we have now arrived at the crisis which has been so long expected. Either the cause of the reformation and the doctrines of our reformers are to be upheld —or we are of the Papists • to be silently passed over to the . rites and ceremonies of Po pery. The case in question is the argu.mentin crucial' by which it must be decided . If the Puseyitestittiorye amtaliybaerlstoy to ot introducero dtiintroduce tthe et mass,he rite o r o of ny auricularrite or ceremony confession, . and if a Protestant bishop, either from tear orfathveoruer,idseal clines to investigate a charge thus publicly brought by an eminent virtual od a nd professor, abolitionbe fore of the the whole power ao 4 university,. superintendence of our episcopal bench. We say that this is the real truth and bearing of the case ; and that silence . will . be viewed by the Puseyites as equivalent to an official connivance in their Popish propensities. CRIME IN YORKSHIRE.—There are now upwards of Asmly prisoners in custody in York Castle, for trial at the next assizes, being about thirty above the average at this Season of the year, for the last seven years. LORD 11 ILL.—We can state with certainty there is not the least foundation for the report which has gone the round of the newspapers, announcing the retirement of Lord Hill from the office of Commander-in-Chief. The noble and gallant lord has not expressed, or in the slighteSt degree intimated, any wish to retire from a situation which he has filled with so much credit to himself and satisfaction to the In fact, the report is groundless.—Slandard. HERTFORD.—A singular scene occurred on Saturday at Hertford. A court for the relief of insolvent debtors was held before Mr. Commissioner Law, who went expressly from London for the purpose, and only !` one case" appeared for hearing. The appearance of one insolvent had occasioned the attendance of about a dozen persons. The gaoler and other officers were required to appear. The insolvent at tended in a smeck-frock, and owed about £4O. The court was only open a short time, and the scene was closed. OXYORD, Dec. 10.—A circular, signed " A Resident Member of Convocation," was issued yesterday, addressed to Dr. Pusey, suggesting the propriety of withdrawing both the present candidates for the vacant Professorship of Poetry, and pointing to the Rev. T. L. Claughton, Fellow of Trinity, as an eligible third or neutral candid a t e —" a gen tl eman ," the circular describes, as " most honourably distinguished in the University for having gained the highest classical honours, and also for having carried off three out of four of the original prizes." FAILURE OF THE NEW POOR LAw.—Circumstances, we understand, are compelling the Poor-law Commissioners to give up the principle which they deemed the keystone of their system—namely, that the workhouse should always be sup plied as a test of destitution. Mr. Senior, the assistant Poor letiv Commissioner, acting, no doubt, upon orders received from Somerset-house, has publicy announced to the Board of Guardians of the Nottingham Union that them is no re striction on the administration of out-door relief, and that the guardians have in consequence discharged 50 persons from the workhouse, and ordered them relief at their own homes. LAMENTAI3LE OCCURRENCE ON TIIE DUDDON SANDS. —We are extremely sorry to state that a melancholy and fatal accident occurred to Mr. Robert Lightfoot, surgeon, of Broughton-in-Furness, late of Wigton, on Thursday week, whilst attempting to cross Duddon-sands, which have been the grave of almost countless numbers who have attempted to cross them. It appears that Mr. Lightfoot left his home about ten o'clock in the morning of the day above mentioned to visit some patients in Kirkby Irleth, after which he had to cross Duddon-sands for Millom. in order to visit some others. Kirkby is about three and a half miles from Hol born-hill, across the Ssnds, to which place he was going, and thirteen miles round by Broughton, so that crossing the Sands saved a ride of nine and a h a lf miles. Mr. Lightfoot was quite in time for the tide, and got through the channel, which he had been in the habit of crossing daily. He was last observed cantering up the far or Cumberland side of the Sands in shallow water, and it is supposed the horse had fallen into what is termed a " break "—a deep hole caused by the Sands having been removed by the preceding tide, and that he had been suddenly thrown from his horse, as the rein, which he held in his left hand, had been entirelycarried over the horse's head. There is no doubt that the deceased had been fast in the stirrup, and had been dragged in the wa ter by the horse for some time, as the right side stirrup was entirely lost, and his right ancle was either dislocated or bro ken, which could not be exactly ascertained on account of the swelling of the joint. When the deceased's clothes had been saturated with water, the spring bar of the stirrup had been opened and let out the leather. The horse was saved by some sailors belonging to a vessel close at hand. The body of the deceased was found next day about ten o'clock, nearly half a mile from the place where he was supposed to have perished.— Westmoreland paper. PROFESSOR KEBLE'S SERMON AT ST. MARY'S.-Mr. Keble, professor of poetry, and one of the tractarian trium virate, preached the university sermon on Tuesday last. The substance was such as to remind us most forcibly of Mr. Sibthorp's university sermon, preached only a few months before his conversion to the catholic religion. The public are anxiously looking for the publication of the episcopal charge of a sixth bishop (Winchester), the diocesan of Mr. Keble. The trumpet of his spiritual overseer has blown no uncertain sound, and the reverend gentleman is in this awk ward dilemma : he must either retire, or will show that, when, in his letter to Mr. Justice Coleridge, he spoke of " feeling deeply the slightest word of his bishop," he meant to frighten the bishop out of speaking (just as if his lordship of Oxford is dumb), or not to heed his voice, should be be so harsh.— Oxford Chronicle. FREAKS OF STEAM TRAVELLING.—One day last week the Rev. C. B. Marriott, of Thundersly, having decided to proceed from the city of " bustle and barter" to the rustic quietude of Harlow, determined on entering himself on the Northern and Eastern Rail ; accordingly he possessed him self of a snug first-class seat, and was soon spinning along before the gale to his destination. " Harlow Station" at last stared him in the face, as plainly as paint and board could stare ; but, alas ! the carriage door had become fixed by the rain : all his exertions could not get it down to enable him to serve the officers with notice to quit. All the rev. gentleman's calling out, and all his hammering the glass, as heavily as glass may be safely hammered, brought no one to his prison door; and, as it was vain for him to attempt to put a bit in the mouth of a steed which is fed with coke and driven with a kitchen poker, he soon found himself whirling along to the next station. at Sawbridgeworth. Here he succeeded in achieving his liberty, and was consoled by the information that, on the usual terms, he could be conveyed back to Har low. In due time the rev. traveller resigned himself to his fate and to the up-train ; but scarcely was he snugly seated and fairly under weigh, when his fellow-passenger informed him that that train did not stop at Harlow. This was too true: onwards went the monster with puff and snort and rattle of wheels, regardless of his wishes, all he saw of the desired haven of his hoßes_being the glimpse which steam at 30 miles an hour afforded Mtn. Of course it was useless lingering at the next station, so onwards he flew to town, where. On a proper representation of the case to the secretary and directors, the hotel expenses of the night were handsomely paid by them; and the next morning he was again skimmer ing the earth towards Harlow. Again the painted hoard an nounced to him his journey's end, aided by the voices of the attendants ; again, too, the carriage -door became obstinate in its slides and sulky in its hinges ; and it was not till the train was almost again in motion that the rev. gentleman was en. abled to set foot upon the desired spot ; even then it was not effected without some risk, as in his haste to avoid a secoud trip to Sawbridgeworth, he did not perceive another leviathan of the modern road, which a few yards off was hissing and boiling up the rail upon which he alighted.—Chelmeord Chronicle. SUSPECTED INCENDIARISAI Dl' A FEMALE.—About one o'clock on Friday morning, a fire broke out in a barn belong ing to Mr. J. Salmon, at Great Clueton Farm, which soon communicated to the other buildings, and, though the Equi table engine arrived in the course of an hour, and active as sistance was rendered by the superintendent of police and others, the barn, which was full of wheat, the stables, and out-houses, together with a wheat, a barley, and a clover stack, were destroyed. The damage done amounts to about £4OO. A part only of the property was insured, and we re gret to add, there is reason to suspect that the fire was the act of an incendiary. Soon after the fire, Superintendent Evans discovered the impressions of foot-marks near the premises, which were believed to be those, of the incendiary, And he carefully dug up the earth containing them, and thus secured the impressions in a box. A woman named Thomp son was apprehended, when it was found her shoes corres ponded with the marks, and other strong evidence being ad duced against her, she was remanded for further examina tion. The prisoner is believed to be insane.—Essex Herald. THE CoNvicT WARD.—The day appointed for the execu tion of this wretched man is Monday, the 20th instant. Since his conviction his conduct has been such as leads to the hope that he feels fully impressed with the necessity of ma king his peace with his Maker. lie maintains a reserved and quiet demeanour, almost approaching to sullen n e ss , b u t listens with profound attention to the ex h or t a ti ons o f th e Rev. Ordinary, who is unremitting-in his endeavours to bring the unhappy man to a sense of his t ru ly aw f u l s i tuat i on. H e has not made any confession, as has b een repor t e d, nor d oes he allude in any way to the crime of which he has been found guilty. Upon being told that there was no reason for him to hope that his life would be spared, and that the day was fixed upon when he was to suffer, he made no reply, but received the information as a matter of course. He now occupies the same cell in which Blakeslcy, Courvoisier, and others who have suffered, were confined, and (as is always now the case with those who are condemned to suffer the extreme penalty of the law), is never left alone. Gre a t exer ti ons are b e i ng made by many persons to obtain a mitigation of the sentence, but as yet we have reason to believe their appeals have been unavailing. DREADFUL. SITUATION.—The Cherbourg journal relates that on Monday, the 29th ult., two men and a woman went from the small town of Lezardrieux, in the Cote du Nord, in a boat of eight or ten tons, to gather a load of sea weed, much used on the land in that country. Having taken a full cargo, they were returning hom e , w h en a gale of wind arose, tore away their sails, unshipped the rudder, and left them with only one oar to steer by, through a tempestuous sea, the other having been washed overboard. Thus they re mained at the mercy of the wind and waves, starving with cold and hunger, and not knowing how far they had drifted, till Thursday morning at daybreak, when they found them selves within sight of the point of land on which the lighthouse of Andreville stands, the reflection of which they saw during the darkness. The master of the boat and his man deter mined to use their single oar to steer it on shore ; but the woman, with more judgment and resolution, seeing that they must, on account of the violence of the waves, be inevitably dashed to pieces on the rocks, insisted on their again turning the boat's head off, and trusting to P,ovidence. In an hour and a half afterwards, when about four leagues to the east of Cape La Hogue, they were seen by a Havre pilot-boat, who answered their signals of distress, bore down upon them, took them in, and towed their boat safe into Cherbourg, where the poor creatures were landed on Friday morning, in a state of almost total exhaustion. NARROW ESCAPE OF Two BANK NOTES. During the Statutes at Otley, a person who had been offering up a sac rifice at the shrine of Bacchus, and had evinced his zeal by pouring most copious libations into his own stomach, in ho nour of the " jolly god ", and thinking at the same time a burnt offering might not be unacceptable, drew from out of his pocket a piece of paper, part of which he appropriated to the lighting of his pipe, returning the remaining part to his pocket. The evening passed merrily on, and the smoke curled in beautiful circles about his head, till at length being weary of his festivities in honour of his favourite divinity, he gradually sunk into the arms of Morpheus, but judge of of his surprise when, on awaking, he found that part of a £5 bank note had been torn away to light his pipe, and of his joy when, on examining it, he discovered that the signa ture was only partly destroyed, and that, on taking it to the bank, what remained of his note was exchanged for gold. Shortly afterwards another person called at the same bank to enquire whether any one of a suspicious appearance had, within a few hours, presented a £lO note ; and being answered in the negative, said he had just lost a note of that value, and left the bank, very much regretting his loss. A few days afterwards the same individual called, and stated that his note had been found among some ashes down in the yard of an inn in the town, with a large hole burnt through its centre. HORSE V. MAN.—On Tuesday, Cootes, the well-known pedestrian, entered upon a second match with a horse, to go six miles and leap 100 hurdles, the first in to win. The match was bona fide and for £2O. Cootes also had a by-bet, that whether beating the horse or beaten he would perform the distance in 40 minutes. The contest came off in the cricket field upon the Handford-road, at one o'clock, at which time a great number of persons were upon the ground. Owing to the ease with which Cootes had beaten the horse Towitt upon a previous occasion, the betting was 6 to 2 in favour of the former. The horse matched against Cootes on the present occasion was a powerfui gray, aged, regularly hunted, and evidently possessing great powers. There were four leaps in each round, and 25 rounds made up the distance of six miles. After the umpire and referees were appointed, Cootes and his brute companion started upon their under taking. Horse and man, Ist round, even ; 2d round, man 2 leaps behind ; 3d, 3 leaps behind ; 4th, 3 leaps behind ; sth, 4 leaps ; oth, 4 leaps; 7th, 4 leaps ;—horse pulled up for a minute ; Bth round, man 3 leaps behind ; 9th, 3 leaps ; 10th, 3 leaps ; 11th, 4 leaps ; 12th, 5 leaps ; 13th, 4 leaps—horse pulled up ; 14th, 6 leaps ; 15th, 6 leaps ; 16th, 6 leaps ; 17th, 7 leaps ; 18th, 8 leaps—horse pulled up ; 19th, 7 leaps ; 20th, 7 leaps ; 21st, 8 leaps ; 22d, 7 leaps ; 24th, 8 leaps ; 25th, man 9 leaps behind. The horse, therefore, was declared the victor. The animal won easily, and took two rounds and eight leaps after he had cleared his last hurdle, at a gallop, to prove his thorough bottom. He was not at all distressed. Suffolk Chronicle. 0 g E, • t r 5_4“ s' • 41 p ;.•s 5 a g z F/ 3 c, w * -4 e.

At this day's market we have had a small supply of things, and those of first quality command high prices. Beef of first quality varying from 6id to 7id ; middling from 5d to 6d. Good Wethers scarce, and sold from 7d to 7d; Ewes 6d to 6id, sinking the offal. Head of Cattle at market, Beasts 1323 ; Sheep 4433. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 10. The only change in the import duties for the ensuing week is a decline upon Foreign Rye to Bs. per quarter. In consequence of boisterous winds for some days past, we have scarcely anything up Coastwise, and except a mode rate quantity of Oatmeal, the supplies from Ireland into this port since Tuesday are small ; those fresh in from abroad consist merely of a few parcels of Canadian Wheat, Pease, and Flour, 1,000 barrels of the latter from the United States, with 2,380 qrs European Wheat, and 1,200 qrs Beaus from Egypt. The prevalence of extremely heavy rain, more or less daily, continues to constitute the character of the weather, still rendering the cultivation of the soil, previously overcharged with wet, wholly impracticable around us ; thereby exciting apprehensions for the safety of that portion of the Wheat seed already in the ground, comprising in this part of the country little more than half the quantity first intended to be sown, and delaying all further operations upon the land to an indefinite period. Although we are unable to report any extensive business in free produce between the close of Tuesday's market and to-day, the preceding facts appear to have given a firmer tone to the trade, and for Wheat and Flonr in bond, inquiries have been more general, resulting in the sale of several car goes of the former to arrive. Upon a very slender attendance of buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day, the demand for English, Irish, and foreign free Wheats was limited in amount ; but without the slight est abatement of confidence on the part of holders the full rates of Tuesday were maintained, and in addition to the sales made for consumption here, about 2000 bushels were again taken for Irish account. States and Canadian Flour, duty paid, moved off rather more freely at an improvement 6d per brl ; but English snd Irish continuing to be neg. ected, hardly supported late prices. Some further purchases of Mediterranean Wheat, on the passage, have been reported, and a cargo of Barletta on the spot has been so ld t o -d ay at 7 s 4d p er 70 lbs. , Malting Barley, upon a very dull sale, receded ls. per quarter, but in grinding samples or in malt we have no change to note.—Beans and Pease were in moderate request and ra ther dearer. Oats, still commanding very little notice, scarcely sup ported their previous value. Oatmeal was held upon somewhat higher terms, but no general advance being obtainable, few sales were effected. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, DEC. 10. We have rather a short supply of grain to this day's market. The Wheat trade has assumed More firmness, and we have a steady sale for both old and new, at an advance of is per quarter. Fine Barley is in fair request, at fully last week's rates ; secondary qualities dull. In Beahs no alteration. Oats id per stone, and spellings 6d per load higher. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Dec. 13. Much difficulty is experienced in effecting sales of Butter, though at a reduction in price of fully 2s per cwt. Indeed it is a long time since we witnessed so dull a week as the last. Pickled Butter continues at 8 sto 88s, with a very limited demand. Good ship store Beef is to be had at 120 S to 125 s per tierce, and Pork at 75s per barrels. The trade is very lifeless. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, DECEMBER 13. Adverse winds still prevent any considerable , supply of l!otoes getting into port. _ . - For the last f'p , ,v days the town trade lias been more animated, combined with steady and improved demand for e the Manchester and other couffy markets.

The market has been dull throughout the week, the Trade having bought rather sparingly; and although Speculators have operated to some extent, it has not counteracted the depression that pre viously existed.

Egyptian has been sold at a further decline of id per lb, but in Brazil and Surat there is no material change to notice. Speculators have take■ 1200 American, and Exporters 200 American.
