" Oh! Peter, dear—oh ! Peter, dear How could they serve you so ? To wrap you in a cold damp sheet, All chill'd from top to toe?" Oh ! do not fear for me, he said For, like the ocean's tide, Full five-and-thirty tumblers now, Are washing my inside. Then cease to - weep, dear Mary Bell, Nor shed another tear, And cease to whine; I'm not allow'd To touch it while I'm here." Then from his head the cap she took, Which they'd put up the spout, And with her pretty little hand, She wrung the water out ; And gazing on his pallid brow, She by his couch did stand ; And when she'd wrung the cap quite dry, She wrung—her lily hand. " Had any other watery death Than this befallen you ; Oh! had you fought with Wellington, And died at Waterloo, You'd moulder then in honour's grave ; But now, Oh! Peter Head, You lie on this damp couch, I know, Quite mouldy ere you're dead." " Oh ! do not say that Doctor's stuff Could cure my woesome ills ? Or think that ever health is found In potions or in pills; No noisome draught could bring relief, No drug my fever quell ; Health, rosy maid, like Truth, is found In the bottom of the well." " Oh ! Peter, dear, fine water'd silks I've often seen, 'tis true; Of watery setting suns I've heard, And water suchet too : If with a Watery Lover I Must make myself content, I'll to the Coldstreams go, and choose One from that Regiment." " Dear Mary Bell, no words can tell How sorely I'm amazed— And can you a wet blanket throw Upon the hopes you've raised For, were I pump'd upon all day, And drench'd with water too, It never would put out the flame That burns so bright for you." " If you get well, oh ! Peter Head, Go seek a maid more bold ; I fear you'd be so very damp, You'd always give me cold. A widow, too, I soon should be ; For one who does such deeds, As almost drinking rivers dry, Would leave we in the weeds. Then down he hung his dripping head ; He clos'd his watery eye, And wrapping close his cold damp sheet He turn'd him round to die : " Farewell, he said,—when Peter Head Is gone, you'll know his merits, — And so he left this watery world, For another world of Spirits." THE FINE ARTS, NEW ENGRAVINGS the First after parting with his Children. Painter hn Bridges, Esq. Engraved by Samuel Benin; cor rected by Mary Parkes. Published by Mary Parkes, Gol den -square, London :G. Linnecar, Liverpool Charles by Jo Some time ago we had the pleasure of noticing the spi rited etching of this work, from an original painting by Mr. Bridges, in the possession of Mr. Stockdale, of this town. The promise of excellence that that etching gave, has been fully kept. There has not been in this instance, as in many other worldly matters, " A promise to the ear broken to the hope ;" but one of the most exquisite of modern mezzotints has com from the plate, to delight and excite the admiration o escrip f thus who hail every acquisition to their portfolios of t d tion with pleasure. We may as well briefly describe this fine work, as it not only deserves our warmest commendation as a specimen of art, but from its claims as a record of an historical eve annal nt, which proved the forerunner of g reat changes in the s of this country. It will be remembered that the King, the day previous to his execution, took leave of his children (the Duke of Gloucester and Princess Elizabeth) in presence of the Bishop of London. His parting injunctions* are conveyed almost literally in the fo llowing poem, in which we find the prospectus of the work : CHARLES THE FIRST AFTER PARTING WITH HIS CHILDREN. BY JAMES STONEHOUSP The royal sire hath said " Farewell ! The bitter pang is past ; One struggle only now remains, And that will be the last ! No earthly crown he heedeth now ; He hopes for one more pare, Which unto all eternity In radiance shall endure. His peace is made with all the world — With those who've done him wrong; And be-bath parted too from all, Who've lov'd him well and long; Although the hammer's clink without Falls fast upon the ear, No sigh escapes his patient lips, His heart hath not a fear. Beside him he hath placed his girl, His boy upon his knee, To charge them with his last requests To those beyond the sea. " Oh! tell tby mother, sweetheart,' this — With mem'ries of the past, That true in love I've been to her, And will be to the last. " I die a glorious death indeed ; For me ye should not grieve : In that true faith be steadfast still, In which we all believe. And tell thy brothers, boy, to be Obedient, good, and just ; Let them forgive mine enemies, But in them put no trust. " Here, sweetheart, take these seals of gold, With diamonds studded o'er; They'll serve to bring me to thy mind, When I shall be no more. 'Tis hard to die in vig'rous life, With senses unimpaired ; But, thanks to God, I fear not death — I feel I am prepared. " Dear children, let my words all be Upon your minds impressed ; And let one common bond of love Exist within each breast. • Go now ! and may the mighty Lord Of all created things Bid angels bright watch o'er your paths, And shield ye with their wings." The scene of the picture takes place in one of the chain iers of Whitehall. The King is seated to the left of the spectator; his right hand rests upon the arm of the chair — his left upon his knee ; the right leg crosses the other in a forward direction; a mantle of velvet being thrown in mas sive folds over it, only permitting the foot to be seen. On the table, covered by a richly-embroidered cloth, appears an open book. On the King's left shoulder is h the ich star are of sus - the Order of the Garter, the riban d and jewel of w pended round his neck. The face of the monarch is it nobly are stamped upon . ass all the grace of majesty about it . Indeed, the figure is ' every inch a king."

Takini sterna courag , this picture in detail, it must be pronounced a fin work, and as a whole, one of the best productions of this season ; and it will no doubt maintain a high rank amongst its compeers. The execution of it is beautiful : the clearness and equal dispersion of the lights, the depth and softn( - - shadows, and the brilliancy of the tout ensemble, combine to s of the render it, as we have before remarked, an acquisition to the collections of engravings of this country ; and we cannot avoid remarking, that Mrs. Parkes, the publisher and partial engraver of it, deserves the best wishes of those who take a pride in seeing anything excellent emanate from the British artist or engraver. The Death of the Douglas at the Battle _of Langside, Painted by C. Landseer. Parkes, London. Etched by Murray Mr. Linnecar has been entrusted with the exhibition of the etching of this very beautiful work, which in its present state ce when completed. It is a gives great promise of exce large work and contains steep principal figures as *ell as others of an inferior character The subject is taken from Sir Walter Scott's novel of The Abbot, 2 vol., page 336, where the battle of Langside is so powerfully, thou h briefly, described—where Douglas, in a suit of black armour, is said to have followed Mary Stuart, like her shadow, to watch over and protect her. In an encounter with Sir Halbert Glendin- ning the Doug :las was mortally wounded character azing on the fate of bert, after having been made prisoner by Roland Grmme, witne death of Douglas under the yew tree,which Mary sobeauti fully I had overco :be horror which had op- present „ed her at the first approach to Crookstone, ” there thou standest, gay and goodly as ever, though thou hearest the sounds of war instead of the vows of love. All is gone since I last greeted thee—love and lover—vows and vower—king and kingdom." The picture must prove of th jut more ---- • especially to the readers of Scott's inimitable tale. Here arc set before them figures like mind's eye only can have drawn. H to the scene, is the lovely, unhapr i not wisely f( Mars who fascinated, Ilk quisitely and touchingly she reads her own fate a few pages on, in the same one of 1 her many slaves " Thus has it been with all who loved Mary Stuart ! The royalty of Francis, the wit of Chastellar, the power and gal lantry of the gay Gordon, the melody of Rizzio, the portly form and youthful grace of Darnley, the bold address and, courtly manners of Bothwell, and now the deep devoted pas sion of the noble Douglas !—nought could save them ;—they looked on the wretched Mary, and to have loved her was crime enough to deserve early death ! No sooner had the victim formed a kind thought of me, than the poisoned cup, the axe and block, the dagger, the mine, were ready to pun ish them for casting affection on such a wretch as I am !" The queen appears in a kneeling posture, clad in white, with a flowing mantle of velvet and ermine, by the side of the " noble Douglas," who is stretched on an ensign, looking his last on his queen, for whom he had risked all, with the most devoted loyalty, uttering, as may be supposed, his dying words. Fixing his eyes on her with an eagerness of passion which death itself could hardly subdue. " Mourn not for me," he said faintly, " but care for your own safety.; I die in mine armour as a Douglas should, and I die pitied by Mary Stuart." Sardanapalus exclaims— " 'Tis comfort still to have our last looks Fixed on lovely and loving faces." And how well might Douglas have uttered the same words ! At Douglas's feet is a noble hound, one of the veritable Landseer breed—at his head, a monk, who is dipping his hand into a helmet filled with water—at the back of the monk is Roland G rmme, who holds, by the bridle, 3lary's favourite palfrey " Rosabelle . —a beautiful, gentle creature which appears to look wistfully towards the go archer of the guard, wounded, fills up the fore up. An round at the spectator's right—near him are the arms of Douglas, sword and helmet. Near to Mary is that exquisite treat. of the novelist, Lady Catherine Seyton, who holds one of Mary's hands in hers. Next to her is the Lady Fleming, wringing her hands in all the passionate utterance of grief and sorrow; next, the Abbot Ambrosius, richly clad in the vestments of his order. Behind him is a monk, with whom a knight, armed " from top to toe, from head to foot," is in _ . ith his mace to the field of battle Old Adam Woodcock supports Sir Halbert conversation, as he points in the distance Glendinning, whose hand the shock of his late encounter with the Douglas upon his ip as if in pain fco►: that " confusion " would be more like Christian unanimity than anything else, much more so than at present, when many sat when they ought to kneel, and knelt when they ought to sit. To say the new arrangement would be the means of separating individual members of families from each other, was saying that which was not correct. It could do no such thing, for if some members of families went into one bench, the remainder of which was filled up, the great probability was, that those who were late would only have to seat themselves in the bench behind, which could not be called a separation. (Hear.) Nor could there, even if one portion were in another, be any confusion in coming out of church. So far, then, so good. (Hear, hear.) His proposition would be thus—That, in the opinion of that meeting, it was ex pedient the pews be removed and benches substituted, and with this view a committee be appointed, with minister and parochial officers, for deciding on the best mode of carrying that object into effect, and that the committee report on the subject at a vestry meeting to be called at Easter next. The Chairman said, it was necessary that the parish should know what it really was now called upon to confirm or reject. He begged to say that the proposition of making the pews free, which was carried, was illegal, and could not be carried into effect, and was in itself null and void. (Hear, hear.) I If the meeting were not aware of the law of the case, he would. state to them that the body of a church was vested in the bishop for the use of the parishioners, and he delegated his trust to the churchwardens, who had the power of allocating the parishioners. He did not, therefore, hold it to be right that this power which they possessed should be taken away from them (Hear.) Nor did he think that the sentiments of the parish had been rightly sounded on the matter; nor did he think that the proper means had been taken to do so even on the present occasion. He mast confess with all the respect he felt towards the gentleman who had brought the matter forward, that the meeting ought to take care what it followed and carried out. Ile (the chairman) was anxious for the welfare of all, and he addressed them now, not as one of their fellow parishioners merely, but as a man appointed by God to watch over their true interests. There were an infinity of arguments that might be named against the plan. In the first place it was inexpedient, for it would lead to con fusion in the church. God was a God of order, not confu sion. What could tend more to confusion in a place of pub lic worship than that wives should be separated from hus bands—husbands from wives—daughters from their natural protectors? What would proceed from such a system as that he could not dwell upon. God was a God of order, and appointed different ranks in the world, and it was a fallacy to say that all men in the house of Go d were e q ual. All men ought to go in a level spirit to the Church, but not in a level ling spirit. (Hear, hear.) The noblest peer of the realm should in the church be as the beggar on the dunghill in his self-abasement, and laying his head in the dust, cry he was unclean ; but he should not, in false humility, prostrate him self in an earthly sense upon an equality with those who were below him. (Hear, hear.) No, it was a fallacy to say that all men were equal, and he thought that all men who went to church would feel more uncomfortable, if huddled together and driven like sheep into a pen, than could be imagined. (Hear, hear.) Let us have reform, and order, and decency, and decorum, and then we shall have the blessing of God ac companying our endeavours to improve His worship. But let us not exhibit ourselves as a laughing-stock to the king dom at large;_ let us not exhibit ourselves in such a li g ht to the world. Let us not make our conduct a matter of regret to all really humble-minded, pious churchmen ; and let us not, at the same time, exhibit ourselves as a divided flock to those of our dissenting brethren who differ from us on points of Christian doctrine. The R 6. T. Mason moved the following amendment, " that a committee be formed to take into consideration the extent of the want of church accommodation in the parish, and to consider the most eligible means of remedying the evil. This was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Edgar. Mr. E. Lawrence (vestry clerk) said if the meetinc , would allow him he would read the law on the subject, as laid down by Sir J. Nichol and others ; and, after stating the disposal of seats to be in the churchwardens, under the direction of the ordinary, remarked that, " Subject to faculties and pre spective rights, it is the duty of churchwardens to look to the general accommodation of the parish, consulting as far as may be all its inhabitants. The latter have a claim on the ordinary to be seated according to their rank and degree. Yearbook, 8 H. 7, 12 a. Bro. Abr. tit. Chattles, p. 11. 2 Add. R. 425. But in providing for this the churchwardens are not to overlook the claims of all the parishioners to be seated if possible. They must not therefore accommodate the higher classes beyond their real wants, to the exclusion of the poorer, who are equally entitled to accommodation, ~ugh not to the same accommodation, supposing the seats not to be all equally convenient. See Fuller v. Lane, 2 Add. R. 423. Rank, extent of property, general respectability, length of inhabitancy, local situation of dwelling, number of family, and even general regularity of attendance at church, may be fairly considered by the churchwardens in deciding on the claims of applicants." Some conversation ensued as to the number of persons the church would hold, Mr. Fonnereau stating that there was only accommodation for 436 persons, whilst another gentle man stated that there was room for 489 ; but it appeared that gentleman had allowed twenty inches for each st the latter had taken only eighteen. A coach , _nen present said that government only allowed sixteen inches fur each passenger, and they called that ample accommoda tion. The average congregation was stated to be 628, and one gentleman therefore argued that there was abundant room for the persons attending, and that future proceedings were unnecessary. _ the former Mr. FonnereaU replied, and stated that in foreign cathe drals, among the Roman catholics, the benches were free. This, however, was denied by a gentleman present, who stated that the seats were locked. Ultimately the amendment was carried by a large majority, and the original motion was put and declared lost. PENANCE !—The church of Heanton Punchardon, on Sunday last, was the scene of an unusual spectacle, a young woman (a farmer's daughter) having to do penance in pursu ance of the sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court, in the cause of Martin v. Priscott ; Miss E. Martin (daughter of a tenant of Heanton Court) being the plaintiff, and Miss Agnes Priscott defendant. The ground of action was certain defamatory expressions made use of to the plaintiff's preju dice.—North Devon Journal. PRESBYTERIAN 81-CENTENARY MEETINGS.—By a let ter received from Dublin last evening, we learn that the subscription there amounted to £1,275, of which Mary's abbey congregation furnished nearly £9OO ; and we may, therefore, expect that the contribution will be very greatly increased. We also understand that the amount subscribed now exceeds £6OOO, while in many quarters the subscrip. tions towards this fund has not yet commenced. A consi derable number of meetings will be held during this week ; and in Friday's number we expect that we shall have to re port considerable additions.—Banner of Ulster. SCOTCH CHURCH QI7ESTION.—A very important circum stance has occurred in the features of this question since Sir J. Graham's letter to the Moderator was published. On Friday last, in giving his opinion in another chirch case, Lord Jeffery (whose elaborate opinion in defence of the veto has been always held by the leaders of the dominant party in the Assembly as the best statement of their case, and of the principles on which they hold the judgments of the House of Lords to be an invasion of their independence) declared in most distinct terms, that he was now satisfied that the case had been rightly decided by the Court of Session and by the House of Lords—that the church had gone against the pro visions of the statute law of the land, and that the courts had jurisdiction to restrain that excess of power. We look on this declaration as of great importance in regard to any peti tion to parliament complaining of these judgments as against the constitution of the church, or to any intention to secede on that ground.—The Times. last the H o T n h . e F a . dd l‘ r l e a s u s le is w c a h s ara in c a te u r g i u se r d at b ed y RectorThurThursday a o y f Lord On Glasgow. the Scottish Guardian (conservative paper) as " remarkable for its unpretending good sense and excellent feeling." In the course of it he made use of the following excellent re marks. " Lay up those treasures of knowledge, which every one who has experience of after life will inform you, that he who has done so has always found a ready resource in time of difficulty ; and that he who has failed to do so, has never failed to regret the opportunities he has lost. But, my young friends, in pursuing your studies, there is one study which, permit me to tell you, is the first and foremost of all. Thank God, in this protestant country we have had placed in our hands freely to use, as freely as it was given to men, the ' sacred and holy Scriptures. 0 let me entreat you, so long as the heart is soft, and takes easily the impressions that are made upon it, to hasten to engrave upon that heart the sa cred truths of the Scriptures ; for believe me that in them, when you come into the world, you will find your best sup porters in the time of doubt—your best companion in the hour of prosperity—your surest comfort should the evil time of adversity overtake yon, but which I trust you will be all spared from encountering. (Great applause.) Tun Bisuor OF CALCUTTA.—The following is an extract of a letter, dated October 13, 1842, from the Right Rev. Daniel Wilson, D.D., bishop of Calcutta, addiessed to the Society for Promoting Christian' Knowledge. The letter, after giving an account of the proceedings connected with the erection of the cathedral at Calcutta, thus proceeds : I imagine to myself a crowded native audience, with a native choir, assisted by the pealing organ, in some future ay chanting `Thou art the King of Glory, 0 CitnisT.' * I go to visit the dioceses of Madras and Bombay, not for diocesan business, but to confer, to console, to arrange, to animate, to plan for the spiritual good of the province, to settle this branch of our reformed A postolical Church, under God's blessing, in all its evangelical doctrine, all its primi tive and unsophisticated discipline, all its edifying church order. If it were only to rejoice each other's hearts in CHRIST JESUS once in five years, the metropolitan visita tion would have its adequate object. But I hope much more may be done in the way of an united plan or plans for the government of our diocese. I propose staying five Sundays at Madras (from November 27 to Christmas-day), and four at Bombay (from the sth to the 26th February), so as to be back at Calcutta before Easter, 1843—a voyage of seven months, and 7,500 miles. Then in October, 1843, should my life be spared, I must prosecute my third north-western visitation to Agra (which requires a distinct oisnop as much as New Zealand, or Nova Scotia, or Toronto) for eighteen months. So that I have renounced the prospect of visiting you in England once more before I die. No; unless his grace the archbishop should lay his orders upon me, India is my scene of duty, delight, and usefulness. The excitement of a short visit would overset me at my time of life. If I can but finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the LORD JESUS, to testify the Gospel of the grace Of GOD, I shall have enough. Already have Ito bless Gon for nine years and ten months health in my residence in this land of disease and death. The climate of England would, most probably, not suit me—the joy of my family would break ray heart—the voyages to and fro would exhaust my remains of strength. I must not, therefore, tempt Gon, but be content with the intercourse of letters, and the com munion of the saints in prayer and intercession. Three years ago I was bent upon going home, but my feelings have been subdued, by a sense of duty, gradually since. Where should a bishop die but in his diocese? * * * * * And now farewell, my dear old friends and brethren in the Lortp (I have been a member 42 years.) May GOD bless you and the venerable society, and prepare us for his hea venly kingdom !"

GRAVEYARD NUISANCES.—Petitions are lying for signa ture through the various districts of the metropolis against a continuance of the custom of interring the dead in the urban cemeteries hitherto appropriated to that purpose. The Dublin Custom-house docks were set up again to auction on Wednesday, when, after a smart competition, they were knocked down to Messrs. Scovell, at an annual rent of £2,800, being an increase of £790 over the last letting. The Gardener's Chronicle has an article, demonstrating that in fruit-trees, the flower and' then the fruit are formed of leaves. The pear, for instance, consists of thirty-five leaves, which may be seen in the early stages. Mr. Joseph Zanetti, picture frame maker, of Manchester, was found lifeless at Little Bolton, on the road-side, on Friday last, under circumstances that lead to the supposition that he was deprived of life by some murderous hand. A cow, belonging to Mr. Joseph Hardy, of Sinderland, Davy"-hulme, near Manchester, has produced a calf with two bodies and eight legs. It has been presented to the Natural History Society. It is stated in a letter from Xeres, that the quantity of Xeres (Sherry) wine made in 1842 was 9,000 skins less than in 1841. The average quantity contained in a skin is not stated ; but it is probably five or six gallons. The Morning Herald says; that the quantity of lumber which has been accumulated at Quebec, during the past season, is enormous, and the market at home is virtu a lly closed against it by the late tariff. ALLIANCE IN HIGH LlFE.—Rumour states that the Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor will he led to the hymeneal altar shortly after her ladyship's presentation at court, by Sir Watkins Williams Wynn, Bart.

There has been a vast increase in the consumption of whiskey within the last quarter, in the Limerick excise dis trict ; and in the same period there has been a great falling off in the consumption of tobacco. One of a boat's crew who had been out fishing off the Lur gan coast, Tyrawly, was unable to leave the boat with the other man when she grounded near Bartra point, and was in some time after found dead from cold and exhaustion. SHIP FOR HONG-KONG.—On Wednesday morning, the armed barque Possidone, of 395 tons register, Captain Va lentine, sailed from Hong-Kong and Macao. She carries out for our lately acquired settlement a full cargo of general merchandise and several respectable passengers.

Thus the war between Cuba and Hayti has ended. —New York paper. At a meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of White chapel, London, to consider the propriety of erecting another turnpike on one of the roads, it was stated that no less a sum than £B,OOO had taken place in the receipt of the road trusts since the railroads were opened. Some miscreants e ntered the garden of one of th e consta bles at Dewsbury, near Halifax, on Saturday night week, and cut down seven fine apple trees and a number of plumb and gooseberry trees.

The report is ridiculous as well as false, as a return is made to head quarters daily, and it would require that two-thirds of the letters should be paid for in money, and every penny of that abstracted to make up the deficiency. On Thursday morning, hi Be!grave-square, a gentleman named M'Neill horsewhipped Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., in consequence of the latter refusing a challenge—Globe.— The daily papers have since contained a long correspondence on the subject, explaining a dispute which ,ed to the occur rence—a pecuniary one. EARTHQUAKE IN TILE 'UNITED STATES.-Slight earth quake were felt at Charlestown and Columbia, South Caro lina, on the 4th instant, and on the same night, at the same hour, they were felt at Cincinnati. The earthquake was also felt at Madison, Indiana, about 9 p.m. The windows of the houses shook violently. At Louisville the shock was also felt about the same hour. It continued thirty seconds. A large meeting was held in Dublin, on Thursday, when a committee was appointed for the purpose " of erecting an enduring testimonial of the esteem in which the labours of the Rev. Theobald Mathew are held by all classes of the community, and which might serve to confirm the people in those habits of temperance which they have lately acquired." The Duke of Leinster and Mr. Purcell put down their names for one hundred guineas each. A man named Moore, who deals in young trees, shrubs, seedlings, and other juvc.iile vegetables, near Carlow, was knocked up lately, at an unseasonable hour, by a person travelling on a jaunting car, who demanded if he did not keep " a nursery ?" " Yes," said he. " Well, then, here's something in your line." Before he could open the door, his customer had gone off at a slinging trot, and left a nice little child at the threshold. It, of course, has been set among the olive plants. --- • • • - THE HERRING FISHERY. —We rejoice to learn that, not withstanding the severity of the weather during 'the past week, the take of herring progresses, and fish of a very su perior quality are still in great abundance along our coast. On Monday night last, the boats of Mr. Porter, of Narin, were very successful, as were many others. The fishermen are in high spirits at the prospect of a remunerating season, and we trust they will not be disappointed. The herring are the largest we have seen for many years.—Ball.vshannon Herald. A most influential and important meeting was held on Fri day at Radley's great room, in the Commercial-buildings, Dublin, consisting of a noblemen an gentlemen, without re ference to politics or party, but interested in the well-being of Ireland, and anxious to promote the good of the country, by taking into consideration the working of the poor laws. A deputation consisting of the Duke of Leinster, the Mar quis of Downshire, and other noblemen and gentlemen was appointed to wait upon the Lord Lieutenant to urge upon his excellency an immediate and searching inquiry into the dperation of the poor law. Police office, BLASPHEMOUS PUBLICATIONS. -At Bow-street four warrants, issued som e time back on the prosecution of on Friday, Thomas Patte rson was brought up under Government, charging him with exposing certain blasphe mous publications in Holywell-street. Patterson was partly defended by his counsel, Mr. Thomas, who took some technical objections that were overruled ; and he partly de fended himself, reading professedly for that purpose some papers which are said to have been outrageously blasphemous, and they were eventually taken from him. In three of the cases he was fined 40s. ; and, refusing to pay the fines, was committed to prison for one month. The fourth case was postponed till Tuesday. )ipping intellignitt4 PRIDAY, JA.VuAitv 27,-LWind W.S.W, light. AabrvED.- , —Prompt, donor], from Maranham ; sailed 23rd Dee. —Cynthia.

On 23rd January, in lat. 49, long. 24, spoke the Hibernia, from Liverpool for Charleston Hector, from Liverpool for Savannah, was wrecked about Ist January, a little to the westward of Savannah Bar; crew and part of cargo saved 1 which he was unhorsed; he gazes with intenseness and reg the features of the Douglas, dying by his hand. At Glen dinning's feet is a dead soldier, his face to the earth—an aged woman is striving to lift him. Nearly in the centre of the tableau is the yew tree before mentioned, under the spreading boughs of which Mary chose to stand " spectatress of the fight." Those peaceful boughs, brightly green in the sunlight of a May morning, o'ershadow the whole party. On the left is the distant battle ; on the right Crookstone Castle, with its square and..embattled towers. where with the beloved Darnley the honeymoon was spent, and where he died—a place teeming with, to Mary, such happy and mournful memories. The middle ground is occupied by two flying horsemen, bearing the royal banner, looking back with curiosity to the group. Such are the characters in the scene of an eventful drama. The management of the figures is admirable; there is no confusion : every one stands as a principal, without detracting from that which gives the main subject. The grace, loveliness, and tenderness of Mary—the manly beauty of the Douglas—the sternness of Avennel— the distress of Lady Fleming—the charms of Catherine Seyton—the elastic youth of Roland Grmme—the heartiness of old Woodcock—the venerable appearance of the eccle siastics—the feeling of grief which pervades the whole group—give the picture a truthfulness and fidelity to nature that cannot fail to be admired and acknowledged as excel lent. When completed this etching will be converted into a noble engraving—and one that must and will be eagerly sought after. It is replete with the spirit and soul of Land seer. The poetry and genius of the original have been caught by the engraver. How Sir Walter Scott would have been delighted with it ! Would that that great man had been living for Mary Parkes to have had the honour and de light of sending him a copy for his approval and acceptance ! ;ret on The sale of the library of the late Marquis Wellesley pro duced between £1,200 and £1,300. _ . --- - LORD HAR.ROWBY'S TEN ANTRY.—The present Lord Harrowby was at one time vexed with, perhaps, the most troublesome village in England. The little community had been for years thoroughly disorganised. Almost every la bourer was a poacher, and during the winter time there were never less than eight-and-twenty of the finest young fellows of the village doing nothing, and exacting from the parish officers what they called " relief." The noble earl cut off from one of his best farms a piece of land, arid divided it amongst the labourers. Poaching ceased ; a stimulus to ho nest industry was created ; the poor-rates were relieved ; and—to shame selfish farmers as well as utilitarian philoso phers—we must ask them at what expense this was done? The parish to which we allude contains more than five thou sand acres, and only thirteen acres were appropriated to this benevolent experiment, which answered so well ; in justice to the noble earl we may add, that he has since appropriated more of his land to secure and complete the fulfilment of his intentions. DIFFICULTIES ATTENDING PICTURE DEALING.—In the Bazar St. Honor 6, where there was a permanent exhibition of pictures, appeared a" Descent from the Cross," attributed to Van Dyke. An Englishman offered 30,000 f. for it ; but, as no less than 35,000 f. would be taken, he called in M. Henry, the sworn appraiser to the Royal Museums, who, on examining it, declared it to be a copy not worth more than 150 f. or 2001. at most. Soon afterwards the owner died; and Messrs. Perrier, having advanced money upon it and other paintings, had them sold by auction. The catalogue was drawn up by M. Henry, who put down the " Descent from the Cross " as a copy, and it was knocked down to M. War neck for 316 f. who relinquished his bargain to M. Bedotti, who gave him to boot a picture he had bought for 180 f— . sold the " Descent from the Cross" to the proprietor of the Galerie Lebrun, Rue du Gros Chenet. Here it was seen by M. Aguado, in company with several connoisseurs, including M. Lahante, the son-in-law of M. Errard, the late celebrated collector, and whose judgment in paintings was held in high estimation, and also M. George, *ho, on the death of M. Henry, succeeded to be one of the appraisers of the Royal Museum. They all concurred in pronouncing the painting to be an original Van Dyke, and M. Aguado pur chased it at 40,000.—French paper. THE LATE AFFRAY AT BEWSEY.-It appears that the name of the young man who inflicted such serious injury upon his brother, as mentioned last week, is Henry Crosby. The one who suffered, Thomas Crosby, on Saturday afternoon, wanted to go shooting again, instead of assisting his brother in the business of the farm. They had both had some drink ; and, on Henry remonstrating with his brother on the impro priety of using his gun, and neglecting other matters of mor the se' vs nfc-- ' T' importance, ... .ot._ dray ensue) _he lock of the gun caught Thomas just at the back of his head, and inflicted a most dreadful wound : several pieces of the skull were driven into the brain, a portion of which protruded from the wound. Mr. Oki.ll, the surgeon to the Warrington Union, was the first medical gentleman in attendance : he was quickly fol lowed by Mr. Sharp and Mr. Hunt, two other surgeons. They found their patient in an insensible state; but, after bleeding, he rallied and came to himself. On Saturday morning, Mr. Davies was called in to attend him ; and on Monday, Mr. Wilson, of Manchester, visited the patient. Up to Monday, no serious inflammatory symptoms were ex hibited. The distress of Mr. Crosby's family may easily be imagined, but not so easily described. They are highly respectable, and connected by marriage with the family of Messrs. Stubs, the celebrated file and Lancashire tool manu facturers. Henry Crosby has hitherto been suffered to go at large. The offence being committed out of the borough, Mr. Jones, the active deputy-constable, did not feel himself called upon to take the offending party into custody.—(Manchesitr Guardian, of Wednesday.)

The duties on foreign and colonial produce continued un changed for the ensuing week. We are still very scantily supplied with all descriptions of Grain coastwise and from Ireland, and have only a moderate quantity of Flour and Oatmeal from these sources ; no fresh arrivals from abroad, and the Canadian imports may be con sidered over for the season. Speaking generally of the trade here, no animation what ever has been apparent in the demand between Tuesday last and to-day, and prices of every article have been almost nominal. Almost wholly deserted by country millers, and our local dealers remaining nearly altogether on the reserve, our mar ket this morning passed over without a single transaction of the least importance having transpired in any article of the trade ; and had sales been feasible, even upon a mode rate scale. somewhat lower terms must have been complied with generally : seeing no practical good, therefore, likely to arise by forcing business, holders continued t o requ i re for mer prices, which for Wheat and all other descriptions of grain, as well as Flour and Oatmeal, may be considered no minally unaltered. It may, however, not be improper to observe, that as the stocks in the hands of consumers are diminishing weekly, and necessity must compel them to purchase, in order to satisfy their immediate purposes, ft is not unrea sonable, in the opinion of many, to anticipate at least a bet ter and more regular demand at no distant period.

The Wakefield and Liverpool markets of yesterday were both flat and lower for Wheat. At our Cons Exchange this day, Wheat, both old and new, meets a very slow sale at prices 2d to 3il per bushel lower than on this day week. Flour goes off slowly, and a re. duction of Is per sack (and in some instances still more) is sub mitted to. Oats, especially fine qualities, being scarce, support the quotations of our last Oatmeal 3d to 6d per lb lower. Malt and Beans as last quoted. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, JANUARY 27. The public sales of Colonial and Foreign Wool, yesterday and to-day, do not enable us to report any new feature in the trade since our circular of 2nd January. Prices and demand for Colonial Wool, steady, at rates equivalent to London December sales, but without increased activity. The demand for low Foreign Wools was flat, without any improvement on our last quotations, 1574 Bales Australian, fine fleeces, (one lot is 10d) Is 7d to Is Sid lb ; middling ditto Is 4id to Is 6id ; low ditto Is Id to Is sad; scoured Is 4id to Is 10Id ; lambs Is 2d to is sid ; pieces and locks lid to is s#d; unwashed ," id to Pd. . _ _ 777 Bales East India, white oid to 7d; second ditto stt d to 6d; yellow stid to 5d ; grey 24d to 3d. 404 Bales Buenos Ayres, dirty and burry lid to lid; washed and unwashed, withdrawn. 10 Bales Oporto locks sd. 15 Bales Sundries. 2780 Bale LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 30 We have had a very quiet week, indeed, in the Butter trade, and purchases, even of the first-rate qualities, may be made on rather easier terms. To the openness of the weather, this dullness may be in a great measure attributed. Beyond the retail demand for Beef and Pork for ship stores, the Provision trade is very inactive. The consumption of Bacon has improved a little, and fine Belfast middles are worth 38s to 40s. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 30 We have had a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep at this day's market.

The arrivals continue to be increasingly heavy, which will not have a beneficial effect on the present tone of our market ; the only redeeming point is that the late advices show an advance in both prices of Cotton and rates of freight in the States, so that the profit before realised will disappear in the future imports, so that holders will rather keep back than press their stocks. The sales on Saturday were 3500, and to-day 4000 bales, and closes heavily. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The demand throughout the week has been moderate. and prices for most descriptions have again declined id per lb, at which rates the market continues to be fully supplied, 2500 American have been taken on speculation, and 1150 American and 250 Surat for export.
