The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of con sumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found -to result from certain baneful habits, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour is no where more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful. whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman."—Sun. " Messrs. Curtis's work, called MANHOOD, is one of the few books now corning before the public on such a subject, which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully in telligible to all who read it. The moral and medical pre cepts given in it, render it invaluable."--Magnet. " The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MAN HOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is percep tible to every capacity."—Age. " This is a work that we fear there exists too much need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for ge neral perusal. Every branch of those frightful maladies, whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly treated, and, divested of all medical tech nicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best mode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the un married, this little work alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in recommending it to general notice."—Essex and Harts Mercury. - " The scientific views taken by the authors, of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced surgeons ; and the result of our careful perusal of the work has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those intrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir." —Old England.

IRISH WIT.--In Darlington, the following dialogue took place between a farmer and an Irish reaper—the lat ter considerably under the corwron stature :—lrishman Do you want anybody for the harvest? Farmer—Yes. Irishman—Will you take me ? Farmer—No, ye're too little. Irishman—Arrah, now, and do you cut your corn at the top.—Tyne Mercury. THE LADIES OF CALCUTTA.--They reach India with uncultivated minds—uncultivated, certainly, though the soil may have been dealt with, in a view to productive ness, as far as such soil can be prepared, up to the age of fifteen or sixteen years, by the routine of female boarding schools—and from that hour the means of farther culti• - vation are, practically, unavailable. They are forthwith flattered and flirted with, and ultimately given or taken in marriage, and the maternal cares soon after disincline them from keeping up the little they had acquired, so that even their most common accomplishment, music, is soon neglected. They read but little ; they have to listen to their husband's prosings about cutcherry, or parade, or his chance of an appointment ; they become listless from the climate ; and thus, instead of our having, in our Indian parties, the well-informed conversational woman, or the buoyant-spirited girl, thinking of nothing but the moment's gratification, and beaming life all around her, we have the languid and unhealthy woman, to whom the bienslances of society are a trouble, and whose flock of children occupy her thoughts, or we have the wary-minded girl, whose every word and movement are calculated on matrimonial principles; who cares not to converse with any but a marrying man, and who listens to little from him beyond the tittle-tattle of an egotistical society, and the depreciation of the common acquaintance. The after scene of a Calcutta dinner-party has thus few of the drawing-room agreeablenesses which attract men at home from the allurements of the decanter, and win them to the ladies with willing gallantry, and in a seldom-baulked expectation of that " flow of soul," which is not descri bable, though so fully and delightfully to be felt, " giving and stealing odours." Of conversation, in the intellec tual (we do not at all mean the has bleu) sense of the word, there is really none in a Calcutta " ladies' party," as the ordinary phrase is ; but some mediocre music is drawled through, after the gentlemen have rejoined them, and in a short hour—which appears, however, as long as the famous Shrewsbury-clock one—the company, after the burra-bebee, or great lady of the party, has given the signal, " stand not upon the order of their going," but all huddle off together, and leave their entertainers weary with they scarcely know what.--Asiatic Journal, SCENE OF MISERY.--A correspondent of a contempo rary says, " At Upper Stratton, near Swindon, there is a man with a family of five children, the eldest a daughte r nearly grown up. living and sleeping in a pig stye!" On Friday last, Father Mathew visited Chelsea, when the Marchioness Welleslay and several other ladies took the pledge, and the Marchioness expoessed a desire that it might operate as an example to others. CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.—We are glad to state that the new Conservative Association for this county is progressing most favourably, and that it holds forth a promise of proving much more effective than that which is now defunct.—Durham Advertiser. A PUZZLER.—A few days ago, five ladies accidentally met at a gentleman's house in the West Riding; and it was found that they formed the following relationship ; one mother, two daughters, two aunts, three nices, three cousins, and five sisters. THE CORN TRADE.—The average duty on wheat, on Thursday last was 14s. ; and we understand that a very considerable quantity has been released from bond at that rate. The Morning Chronicle complains that Sir R. Peel's corn bill has " ruined the foreign corn trade !" REBECCA AGAlN.—Notwithstanding the collision and bloodshed with the police at Pontardulais, as given in our pages to-day, another gate, almost in the neighbourhood, the Spuder-bridge gate, 21 miles from Kidwelly, was de stroyed, on Friday morning, by the ltebeccaites. NEW WHEAT.—At Stamford, on Friday last, wheat weighing 18 stone net per sack was selling at 525, at Grantham, on Saturday, at 50s, and on Tuesday, at Spal ding, at 48s; the samples dry and in good condition. There will next week be a large 'quantity brought to market. A dreadful accident took place, at Messina, on the 15th ult., by the fall of a scaffold 110 feet high, which had been erected to exhibit fireworks upon. Fifteen men were pre cipitated along with it, four of whom died immediately, eight soon after, and no hopes were entertained of the re overy of the remainder. In the Wigan municipal list of voters, just completed by the overseers, there are, out of 3,000 ratepayers, the names of only 750 persons whose rates and taxes have been duly paid. This list does not comprise more than fifty beyond the number of ten-pound householders placed upon the list of parliamentary voters. 111 G II PRICE OF PROVISIONS IN FRANCE. --The weather is extremely sultry here, and people must no longer think of France as a cheap residence.

Peaches are the only fruit which is plentiful, you may buy fine ones for Id. to ltd. each.—Free Press. Extract of a letter from Margate, dated September 6. " This morning there was a dreadful riot with the crews of the Isle of Thanet steam-boat and the Royal William. At one time it was thought that several dead bodies would have been strewed on their decks. Sledge-hammers, axes, and knives were called into requisition, and the fight lasted near an hour." In addition to the 25,000 f left by the Queen of England to be distributed generally amongst the servants of the household of the King of the French, she gave I,ooof to each of the servants who were specialty attached to her person. His Royal Highness Prince Albert left 2,500 f to be distributed among the poor of the town of Eu.— Galiganani of Saturday. RAYTHER STRONG.—A few days since a man went into a counting-house in Maidstone, Kent, and solicited alms in a very importunate manner. They were refused, when the fellow said, with the utmost coolness, " Do give us a few halfpence, master, or a glass of rum—for I lushed ' a little too much last night, and my coppers be rather hot this me rning 1 "—Sussex Agricultural Express. The " Inspector-General of the Repeal Waodens of England, William John O'Connell, Esq.," lately arrived in Birmingham, for the purpose of enrolling as associates all those favourable to Repeal. At a Chartist meeting the " Inspector's-General's" " young gentleman." Jones, in referring to the troops sent to Ireland, said there was " an agitation being got up in Birmingham that would require the troops nearer home ! !" THE OPERA VOCALISTS. — LabIache and his family are about to quit Paris for Naples, his native city, where he will remain for two months, having obtained a conge to that extent from the d►rector of the Italian theatre at Paris. Madame Viardot is now in Paris, and has been engaged to appear in Vienna in the winter season. Pe r _ siani is awaiting the opening of the Italian theatre in Paris (which is to take place on the first of October) at a charm ing country residence at Chalons. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC OATH. — Amongst the notices of motions, &c. already on the books of the House of Commons for the nsxt session, is the following Mr. Protheroe—bill to repeal the oath now taken by members of both [louses of Parliament who are of the Roman Ca tholic religion, and to substitute, in lieu thereof, one which shall admit of no doubt existing on the right and power of such members to vote on all questions which may be brought by them or by other members under the consideration of either Houses of Parliament. The first arch of the iron bridge which is to cross Hunt's-bank for the Manchester Junction Railway has been already fixed, and it is expected that within a month the Leeds Railway will be able to come down to Hunt's bank station. !PAN ETRY.—One of the Strathglass keepers discovered an:eyry this season, containing two very strong young birds, whose allowance was doled forth by the parents with great regularity and precision ; consissing of a white hare and a brace of grouse. The keepers tethered the young ones until fledged, when they cliped and removed them to a neighbouring eminence, which they surround ed with traps, by which means they captured one of the old ones, and The other having escaped, carrying with it a trap and weights.—Caledonian Mercury. REBECCA AT SAurcoATs. —The new gates at the entrance to the parish school here were levelled with the ground early on Sunday morning last. Unlike Samson, however, who carried away the gates of Gaza, Rebecca allowed those of the school to lie where they fell. This act of wanton destruction must have been the work of some malicions person, and it is to be hoped the guilty party will be detected. Though the " shooltnaster was not abroad " at the time (3 o'clock in the morning), it does not appear that the noise disturbed him.—Ayr Observer. POUNDBREACH AND RESCUE.—An act came into oper— ation in July last, providing summary redress in cases where cattle are impounded, or seized to be impounded, are rescued from the pound, or on the way to the pound, and the expense of prosecution has been found consider ably to exceed the injury sustained. By the present act an offender can be summarily dealt with by the magis trates and fined £5, and in default of payment imprisoned. Proceedings may be heard in the absence of a party who shall refuse to attend, and he may be committed. There is likewise power given to the magistracy to issue a war rant without a summons " whenever good grounds for so doing to his satisfaction shall be stated, ou oath before him." Mr. Sheil, accompanied by his lady and Mis Power, arrived in Mallow on Saturday last ; but, alas ! there was no admiring crowd to cheer on the ex-placcinan—he was " unwept, unhonoured, and unsung"—he did not get even a solitary hurra! As the right hon. ex-agitator was re turning with his lady from ten o'Clock Mass, he was handed the following pithy address, which was signed "A Repealer ;—MR. SHEIL—Throw the weight of your splended talents once more in the cause of Repeal, and your too long oppressed country ; and although it may de bar you from place, 'it will restore you the affections and gratitude of your countrymen—and old Ireland will give you a place in the record of her victories far more glorious than her oppressors can bestow:"—Cork Exami ner. THE COLONIAL BISHOPRICS.—The next bishopric to be erected for the colonies is that of New Brunswick, and the committee have determined on recommending a cler gyman to her Majesty's Government to be consecrated to the see, as soon as £30,000 the sum required for the endowment, shall have been raised. The sum of £20,000 has been contributed from the colonial bishoprics fund, and about £5,000 have been collected within the province. Some subscriptions have been received from other quarters, and about £4,000 are now required to secure the estab lishment of a bishopric in New Brunswick, at present a portion of the large diocese of Nova Scotia. The income of the bishop will be £1,200 per annum, but the appoint ment will be made when a clear revenue of £l,OOO a year shall be secured. EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH. —Some few years ago, when the late Earl of Leicester (then Mr. Coke) had his agricultural meetings at Holkam. a sheep was sheared in the morning, the wool washed, combed, spun, and wove, the cloth made into a coat and worn at dinner the same evening, as a proof of the industry and ingenuity of the country. A somewhat similar instance of agricultural effort was accomplished on Saturday last. in our own county. Mr. Edward Humphreys, of Walcot, had wheat cut at half-past nine in the morning : at half-past one some of the morning's produce was in loaves, one of which Mr. Davies personally presented to his noble land lsrd, the Earl of Powis, as a sample of the season's pro duction. His lordship was much pleased with it, and par took of a portion thereof at dinner.—Eddowe's Shrop shire Journal. WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—It is understood that the Rev. Dr. Turton, the newly•appointed Dean of Westmin ster, has given directions that the public shall in future have the privilege granted them of passing, after the ter mination of Divine Service, from the nave, under the organ, into the spacious and beautiful choir, from which egress will be obtained through the grand or western en trance of that magnificent cathedral, which has for many years been ciosed against the public, the only entrance still being by the gate at Poet's Corner. The choir con tains the monumedts of several eminent statesmen and other exalted and distinguished characters, many of them of most exquisite execution, the beauty of which has been recently greatly enhanced by their having undergone . a thorough cleansing, the whole of which all persons ll now have the opportunity of viewing free from charge. The above regulation was first carried into effect on Sun day, the 27th ult., to the gratification of the congregation I THE EXHIBITION OF THE LIVERPOOL GENERAL ANNUAL LICENSING SESSIONS ACADEMY The nineteenth annual exhibition of the Liverpool Aca demy of Painting was opened for public inspection yester day ; and, after a yet cursory view of the rooms, we have to congratulate our townsmen on the general superiority of the productions over those of former years ; and the artists on the taste, talent, and industry they have here displayed, in their honourable career of competition,— evincing, in many instances, a marked improvement, and giving assurance that the institution--if commensurately and generously encouraged—will become a permanent stimulus to the efforts of genius, and eventually lead to that excellence which will render us as highly distinguished as patrons of the fine arts, as we have hitherto been (too exclusively) in the plodding pursuits of commerce. We especially rejoice to observe, that our native artists—some of whom have before excelled others who had elsewhere earned " golden opinions"—have, in this instance, excel led their former selves; and we would remind all who would rejoice in the consummation we have ventured to anticipate, that it is by individual and local talent, kindly nurtured to maturity, that national perfection and emi nence are alone to be achieved. By the judicious arrange ments of the committee an opportunity is, this year, af forded to all classes to promote the grand o bj ec t of the originators of the Academy, and we hope and trust they will cheerfully embrace it. The price of admission is re duced to half the amount during the evening exhibition, when the paintings and other works of art may be seen to great advantage—the rooms being splendidly lighted with gas. The general annual licensing meeting of the magistrates, (adjourned from Monday, the 4th instant,) was held yes terday forenoon in the sessions-house, which, from the interest excited by its being known that upwards of 300 publicans had, during the past year, been convicted of of fences against one or other of the statutes affecting them, which would, in some instances, be a bar to the renewal of their licenses,—was crowded to excess. There were on the bench his worship the Mayor, in the chair; and Messrs. John Holmes, Richard Houghton, David Hodg son, and Wm. Rathbone. At the request of the Chairman, Mr. Ellis, the clerk, read the following minutes of a previous private meeting of the magistrates :—At a meeting of the magistrates held in the sessions-h - use, on Saturday, the 9th day of Sep tember, 1843, for the purpose of considering and deter mining upon the renewal of licenses to those publicans who have been convicted of offences during the last year,— present, Robertson Gladstone, Esq. &c. &c. List of the names of all publicans convicted of offences under the 9th George IV., 3th and sth William IV., and sth and 6th Victoria, between the Ist September, 1842, and the sth September, 1843, was laid before the magis trates, from which it appears that 180 were once convicted ; 50 twice convicted, and 6 thrice convicted. The magistrates unanimously resolved,—That those publicans who have offended be informed that the magis trates are determined to enforce the observance of the sa lutary regulations imposed by the acts before mentioned, and they take this public opportunity of again announcing their determination in order that all parties interested may have ample notice. That though many of the cases on the list of first and second offences would justify the refusal or transfer of the license, yet, on the present occasion, it is not their inten tion to refuse the licenses of those publicans whose names are on the first and second lists. At the same time it must be distinctly understood that a record of all those offences stands against the publican's name in the license book. We do not ourselves—as many of our contemporaries do—assume to he, critically speaking, connoisseurs of all the niceties of the nice art of painting; nor shall we, like them, (in the notices we shall from time to time furnish) obtrude crude and random opinions in high-sounding tech nical phrase, purposed to impress their readers with a high and unanswerable sense of our acumen, but which ge nerally result in an exposition of their own arrogance, ig norance, or partiality. We think, however, we can dis tinguish the difference between a senseless daub and a bright conception, highly finished, and strikingly effective to ordinary observers; and abhorring as we do " the cant of criticism," we shall leave the public, should our re marks be impugned by those who erroneously consider themselves better judges of paintings than of puddings, to decide between us. We may premise that we have neither space nor leisure to cnter much into minutiae, and that in our opinion such exhibitions, which are intended chiefly for the encouragement of rising aspirants of our own coun try, and particularly of our own town, invite kindly no tice rather than challenge acrimonious invective—though we shall not in policy and justice overlook what may ap pear to us to be glaring faults or inconsistencies. That the licenses of those publicans who have been three times convicted be refused. The Mayor then said, that, although the licenses were granted on this occ.lsion to those who had offended once, and twice, publicans must not consider this as a guaran tee that the same leniency would be exercised hereafter, and it therefore became necessary that they should be ex tremely cautious. He then left the bench, and the busi ness of giving new licenses for the year to all publicans not objected to commenced,—Mr. Houghton presiding, and cautioning the parties in every case, who had been on one, or on two occasions, convicted of offences under the seve ral acts before noticed. Each, as usual, was required to pay a fee for the renewal of the license of is. 6d., and a considerable sum was collected during the day. The list was gone through with alphabetically. On entering the principal room, the first picture that will attract the visiter—from its position, size, and excel lence—is No. 108, (opposite the door,) representing " Dante, accompanied by Virgil in his descent to the In ferno, recognising his three countrymen, Rustitucci, Al dobrandi, and Guidognerra," by G. Patten, A.R.A. In classical and poetical conception, as well as in drawing, colouring, and execution, this picture is justly considered a very fine and masterly production. The figures are of colossal stature. The aerial floating appearance of Dante's former companions, and the anatomical accuracy of the whole, are truly admirable. A little to the left is P. P. Poole's already celebrated picture of the horrors of the plague in London in 1665. The subject is taken from a passage in Defoe's narrative of that awful visitation, and represents the famous Solo mon Eagle, the enthusiast, - exhorting the people to re pentance. " Though not affected at all but in his head," says the narrator, " he went about denouncing judgment upon the city in a frightful manner, sometimes quite naked, and with a pan of burning charcoal on his head." A variety of characters, young and old, are gathered around him in the open air, in the various stages of the disease, — some recklessly playing cards, others fearfully alive to their danger, and others sinking more or less rapidly into the arms of death. On one side is a figure of a fine fe male placidly reading a holy book, and, just above her, another rushing frantically from a doorway in her night clothes, her aged and anguished mother endeavouring to restrain her. On the other side a dead body is being lowered from a window, and in the background another is being carried on men's shoulders towards the dead cart, which is in waiting. One sister in the foreground is dying on the knees of another. The glare of torches adds to the varied horrors of the scene, which is certainly repulsive ; but the painful feelings which it would other wise exclusively inspire, are more than redeemed by the masterly combination and variety of suffering depicted, and the commiseration which the contemplation of the whole naturally inspires. One prominent figure, with a bandage round his face, is said to represent Defoe him self; but this is somewhat apocryphal. The drawing, colouring, and knowledge of character displayed are all admirable; and we should say, that had Mr. Poole never produced another picture, this alone is sufficient to entitle him to the fame of a first-rate artist, whether in historical conception or in execution. _ APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES IN 1843. There were applications for 88 new licenses within the borough; for 23 in Toxteth-park ; for 6 in West Derby suburb ; for lin Kirkdale, and for 1 in Everton. Of those for the borough only 16 were granted; and 1 for West Derby, and 1 for Kirkdale. The following is a list of the successful candidates : John Fisher, Canning-place, (a removal.) James Lewin, Back Castle-street. John Lea, Clayton-square. Robert Harris, Dale-street. Thomas Roberts, Great Howard-street, (a removal Joseph Smith, James Ratcliffe Robert Taylor, Great Newton-street. John Green, Redcross-street. James Crellin, Soho•street.

Charles Austin, Derby.street, West Derby Henry Hough:Krkle-road, Kirkdale REDUCTION IN THE PREMIUMS ON FIRE lUSURANCE IN LIVERPOOL—We beg to direct attention to the adver tisement of the Atlas Insurance Company, by which it will be seen that, in some description of mercantile risks, the directors have effected a very considerable reduction of premium ; and we are authorised to state that all the Lon don offices have made a similar reduction. A letter has been received at Southampton, announcing the death (abroad) of Mr. B. Roy, formerly M.P. for that borough, from accident while shooting. RECEIPT FOR MAKING CISTERN CEMENT.—A S I ICS two parts, three parts clay, one part sand, mixed with oil: it will make a cement as hard as marble, and impenetra ble by water for ever. No. 142, " Knox endeavouring to restrain the people, at Perth, from destroying the altars, missals, and other properties of the Unreformed Church," by J. P. Knight, A.R.A., is also a fine picture, both in harmony and rich ness of colouring, and in artistic execution. The only fault (if so it be) is the apparent want of energy in the countenance and deportment of the great Reformer, who appears, however, at the moment, to be speaking aside to a spearsman or soldier of the day. 60. Scene from the Merry Wives of Q-sot Anne Page with wine ; Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page behind. Sir John Falstaff is about to kiss Mrs. Ford." This is by W. F. Frith, a very young, but highly promising ar tist, and is very creditable to him in execution and finish. He has admirably delineated the coquettish face of Mrs. Ford, who is playfully humouring the old amourous knight. Bardolph. Pistol, and the fool, are all portrayed with an equally happy conception of the dramatist, and a boy is ingeniously introduced endeavouring to cheat the last in tossing. DRURY-LANE.—It is announced in a French musical periodical, that Carlotta Grisi and Petipas are engaged at Drury-lane, where a ballet is being got up for their ap pearance, entitled " The Peri. MUSICAL SNUFFBOX.—Tamburini has been lately sing ing at Marseilles, where, previous to his departure, he was presented by the dilettanti of the town with a hand some gold snuffbox. THE SUBLIME AN THE RIDICULOUS.—Sir C. F. Williams, the Bankruptcy Commissioner, observed a lealhllr %Apt Icuuiuti upuu Lhe 1e h.

Creswick, A.R.A. is beautiful in detail and distance. 67, by the same, "The Way across the River," is also fine, and in lively rural effect forms a pleasing contrast to the other. No. 3, (over the door) is a fine large picture of the death, in a Stag Hunt, by our townsman, Richd. Ansdell. Tile dogs, some of them gored and dying, are beautifully executed. This was recently painted, and the artist, we understand, after witnessing the hunt, purchased the stag and one of the dogs, so that he might convey a correct likeness of the animals. Every man has in his own life follies enough, in his own mind troubles enough, in the performance of his duties deficiencies enough, without being curious about the affairs of others. SECOND Standard-office, Eight o'clocl DESTRUCTIVE FIRE THIS MORNING EDGE HILL. 163. Portraits of a Lady and her two Granddaughters, as large as life, is by Sir G. H ay ter, painter to her majesty ; but though good likenesses, the picture, as a whole, is scarcely in the artist's happiest style. 114. " Fairies holding their Revels on the Sea Shore. at Night," is a beautiful and admirably poetical conception of the "gentle people" and their fantastic but innoxious gambols. Some are flying in a serpentine line, and others, that have alighted, are dancing as they proceed in a string beneath a natural rocky bridge, through which the moon beams are beautifully glinting. This is by the unfortu nate R. Dadd, whose name has recently been before the public. Amongst the portraits one of the best full-lengths is that of Josias Booker, Esq., by W. J. Bishop, professor at the Collegiate Institution, and to be placed in the board-room of that seminary. It is an admirable likeness, and in every respect highly creditable to the artist. 44. A Bacchante Reclining, by Philip Westcott. There is something rich and mischievous in the figure and play ful countenance of this luxuriant female, well compot ting with the lines in the catalogue from which the idea is de rived. The foreshortening and life-like transparent ap pearance of the flesh tints are managed in a masterly man ner. o'clock, an rip This morning, between twelve and pearance of fire was discovered in the warehouse of Mr Archer, flour and provision dealer, grocer, &c., Waver tree-lane, Edge-hill, (a short distance eastward of the Church,) and the alarm being given by Policeman No. 71, policeman James Muir, (539,) who was at the time near Lodge-lane, hastened to the spot, which he reached shortly before one. The premises form the west corner of the range of buildings a little to t - hill School, and near the C o ff ee H ouse , on the opposite eastward of Edge- " The Waking Smile" of a lovely infant, (No. 17,) by Thomas Crane, is one of the finest and chastest produc tions in the room. The expression of the face and eyes is replete with juvenile health, innocence, happiness, and beauty. 39, (by the same,) portraits of a lady, and gentle man, and a child on horseback, in a rural plain, is also fine. This style of portrait painting, forming an entire scene, is an encroachment upon the usual system adopted by linners, and, we think, a pleasing one. The point lace tippet of the lady, and also her dress, are exquisitely painted, showing the peculiar richness of the respective fabrics. No. 18, an ancient baronial interior, by Wm. Coiling wood, is powerful and effective. 73, a small moonlight scene, at Hampstead,with a black smith's shop lighted, in contrhst, by the ruddy fire, is a highly successful effort, by Mr. S. Eglinton, the active and zealous President of the Academy, whose anxiety to promote the fine arts in Liverpool is beyond all praise. 101, a scene in Wales, with children at a spring, by the same, is also a pleasing subject, and executed in a masterly manner. The Village Coquette, (89,) by George Lance, from the vivid description in Cowper's Task, is animated and clever. No. 91, The North Shore, Liverpool ; 96, Hasting's Beach ; and 122, Fishing Boats arriving at the same place, on a windy day, by our townsman, Mr. S. Walters, a member of the academy, are all spirited and excellent pro ductions of that talented marine painter. No. 153, Muscle Gatherers, at Hoylake, by the same, is to our taste still more pleasing. The figures on the far-extended sands, and a stranded vessel, are admirably and interestingly de lineated, and the shore of Crosby is beautifully shown in the extreme distance. " The Favourite in Mischief" (140) a Blenheim spa niel, caught overhauling his mistress's bandoir, and de stroying the contents for sheer amusement, is well con ceived and executed. The offender has just torn a bank note, and is holding up his paw and looking as if sensible of his delinquency and half assured of forgiveness. 109, 'The Cobler cogitating the New Poor Law Bill, by Westcott, is excellent, and would form an appropriate memento in the board•room of the three Bashaw Com missioners. A scene from Gil Bias, (110) by A. Egg, is on the whole good ; but there are some defects in the drawing, particularly as regards the lady's mouth. 112, Procession of Peasants near Naples on the festival of Pie de Grotta, by F. Uwins, is a perfect gem, not surpassed by any picture of equal size in the rooms. The grouping of the figures in separate masses is most skilfully ma naged, and the Bay and distant burning mountain are beautifully painted. 111 is a graceful portrait of a genteel young lady, by F. Crane. 157, by the same, is also fi f n u ll e. N a tural Affection, 150, " Saying grace" in a cottage, by S. Eglinton: is T. F.

Muir found several persons as sembled, aad observed smoke and the appearance of flame from the second-storey windows of the warehouse He immediately, with the assistance of another man, got a ladder; placed it in the direction of the fire — which was more particularly observable at two of the warehouse windows—and endeavoured to suppress the flames, which soon burst forth, accompanied by suffocat ing smoke, by such means as were at hand, but with little success. About a quarter before two o'clock the engines from the Fire Station came up, Nos. 1. and 9, with a body of firemen, headed by Mr. Hewitt. Mr. Whitty, Mr. Fadzen, and Mr. Quick were soon present, but there was for a considerable time a want of water, there being but one main in the neighbourhood, and that out of order and had, eventually, to be broken up to obtain a suppl The inhabitants who were roused brought water kets, &c., but it was not sufficient, and the flames rapidly gained head. The greater part of the goods in the shop were removed, with the assistance of policemen, on after iderable the alarm, into the road, and consisted of a c quantity of flour, meal, butter, tea, coffee, groceries and provisions. About two o'clock the whole premises became one general blaz the roof and some of the upper floors fell in ; and the brilliant light from the burning timber illuminated the neighbourhood far and wide for some time, an immense body of flame rising many feet above the building. It became evident that all that could be done was to save the adjoining house to the east, and, through it, the whole range: Great efforts were made to obtain water, by means of engine and hose, from a pond at a great distance, in the direction of the railway : but before this could be effectually accompli; ter from the main pipe was got at, and was found more convenient A consideral n quantity of fu ture, &c was removed from the two adjoining houses, the nearest of which was, it is said, inhabited by Mr. Archer himself.

A good deal of flour,&c. was destroyed in the warehouse in which there was a lso a bakehouse; and there were valuable articles in the cellars, only a sm^" which could be saved. The premises, sive, were completely gutted. "- portion of We can as yet obtain no estimate of the amount of loss, but it must be very consi derable. It is said to have been insured. Mr. Whitty and the whole knee under him were extremely active, and had there been a good supply of water at the first, the de struction would have been comparatively trifling. The inhabitants also deserve great praise for rendering their oesL assistance. A ..Mr. Golding, who re.. neighbourhood, was peculiarly active. The origin of tin fire is, as usual, mystery. Mr- Maxwell, of the fire. ;ides in:the office, was present, and gave his effective assistance
