Warp, A. LUDICRO-SERIO SKETCH OF A TRIP TO BOSTON IN THE STEAM-SHIP CALEDONIA, NOVEMBER (For the Liverpool Standard.) Fit nurse for a poet child!" (Author loquitur to his fellow passengers.) " Soon shall thy nervous arm, unconquered steam, Drive the slow barge," sang Darwin in his dream ; And now no more the dangers of the deep Haunt the keen sailor in his startled sleep : No more he gazes on the troubled sky, Or looks to windwai - d far with anxious eye— The hour arrived, let winds be fair or foul, Let seas roll high or stormy tempests howl, He marches forth on ocean wave, and rides With power resistless o'er the foaming tides. And now, in fancy's eye, our lovely ship Floats at her mooring; like a hound in slip, Her breath is in her nostrils—how it roars, Escaping from its huge and pent-up stores ! While far aloft, and fluttering from her spars, Wave England's flag, Columbia's stripes and stars ; And on her prow Queen Mary sits in state, On her carved stern attendant Maries wait : We gaze, admire, until our shallop glides Beneath her tall and well-proportioned sides. We mount the deck, survey the distant town, From hill to water's Thou queenly port' Thy spires and Lovelier still in parting nom, Emblems of wealth and pride and pow'r— Of power not reaped from bloody field, Wealth with oppression never sealed,* And pride—the noblest, truest, best— In trade that rules from east to west. [low fair masts before th, ending down. , how nobly rise gazers' eyes Hark to the cheerful sounds the ear that greet — The busy hum, the sound of trampling feet; " All hands up anchor"—see the jolly tars, How nimbly they push round the capstan.bars; And while the hapsh, unfeeling 'larum bell Warns friends to breathe each mute and sad farewell, A cannon roars—the ready vessel moves — A deafening cheer from shore to shore approves : She breasts the tide, with speed the lighthouse clears, And swiftly down Victoria Channel veers. Foul are the breezes, the billows are high, But fed by black diamonds we cheerily fly, Till Holyhead's bright Pharbs gleameth afar, To sailors' gaze how oft hope's radiant star. Good night, fair friends! we seek our berths, not rest, For there. with pallid brow and heaving breast, With the grim creditors that haunt the sea Accounts to settle must our sad task be! Old Neptune gives us a reception rough, /Eolus growls in accents rather gruff; But what of that, does not our skipper know How swiftly down our throats the viands go ? Hark to the routine, thus : at eight o'clock A bell's loud peals our slumbers deep unlock ; We dress and down we sit, just fifty souls, And round the waiters fly with fresh hot rolls. " Archie or Shepherd, hand a cup of tea ;" " And, hark ye, bring some coffee here, for me." There's ham and eggs, beefsteaks, and cutlets veal, And all for breakfast—powers! that is a meal ! But ere eight brief half-hours have past We eat again—to break the painful fast! They call it luncheon, but, as I'm a sinner, It looks extremely like a right good dinner ! For there's soup and oysters, sandwiches and salmon, Not to mention the cold meats, the beef, pork, ham on A table that groans 'neath ale, porter, claret, Good soda water and syrup to mar it! But what's that to the dinner which comes on at four— The " bill" is before us, we'll just glance it o'er : First the soups—mock turtle, mulligatawny, Irish stew for the Paddy, rice for the Sawney ; Geese, fowls, and turkies, and, it passes belief, Besides these good things, pigeon pies and roast beef. And then the dessert ! but a Byron 'twould puzzle To jingle in rhyme all the dishes we guzzle. Suffice it to say that, ere two hours have past, We've another meal still—nor is it the last ! For the skipper and others at ten o'clock sup, And thus in at the death, our long day windeth up! A propos of the captain—" the eye of the ship"— From our records we must not allow him to slip ; We see him before us, as with kerchief of red The roast beef he rules, at our long table's head. No moody soul he, for oft he will sit, And our revels light up with his light sparkling wit. Let us congratulate our happy lot, To stem the sea with such a noble Scot : A seaman gallant and a faithful host, Full well deserveth he each brimful toast ; For truly as his noble ship's a clipper, So surely is a right good soul—our skipper ! And thou! majestic Guardian of the Mail! In cheerful humour thou dost never fail ; From morn to eve, untired, thou wreathest in flowers Of fun and wit what else were tedious hours. Irish to backbone, thou! with mirth o'erflowing, Some tale or joke from thee is always going. At times thou fight'st again thy well-fought fields ; " Down goes his flag—the rascal—see he yields !" O'er land and sea, 'midst battle, cloud, and smoke — 'Midst flash and cry, and thrust, and sabre stroke — Thou art at home ! we ought to thank thee much, For our amusement thus to " shoulder crutch." In peace a lamb, in war a very fury— A gallant soul art thou, Lieutenant Bury! But here we pause, nor further need describe Our mirth's bright sallies, wit, or pleasant gibe ; How we beguile for days the livelong hour, And chase away, with an unconscious power, The megrims, low spirits, and sad looks, that be Accompaniments fell to the demon Ennui !

Query— PRINTER'S DEVIL CONTEMPORARY PRESS THE COLONIES AND COLONIAL TRADE OF GREAT BRITAIN. (From the Morning Herald.) _ , Amongst the many important -questions bearing upon our fgreign and colonial interests, little has been said, for some time past, about one scarcely less mo mentous than any which has recently occupied so much of public attention—we mean the question of the north-eastern boundary line. The adjustment in a sa tisfactory manner of that point is indispensable to the maintenance of our Narth American possessions. We have justice on our side, and we may be said to have necessity. It is impossible to yield to the demands on this subject of the republicans of the United States without virtually ceding to them possession of the Canadas. The Canadas are of infinite consequence tb Great Britain. In itself, the country is of prodigious value; and its race of British colonists is unsurpassed in all the best social qualities by any people on the face of the earth. Of the political importance of the Cana das, it is difficult to form too high an estimate : their commercial importance is absolutely incalculable. The United States were lost to Great Britain by gross mismanagement on the part of our rulers. The conversion of these states from dependencies of the British empire into noisy democracies has not (as we venture to think) added much to the sum of human happiness. England lost, at the time of the change, a large portion of her dignity and moral influence ; while she has since gained an extensive, precarious, and at times unprofitable foreign trade, she has, to at least the same extent, lost a secure and mo s t valuable colonial commerce. The United States have become scenes of bustle, noise, and money-getting. In that country—" the new country" as the inhabitants delight to term it—many of the least amiable feelings of our nature have full scope, apd amongst these unamiable feelings, we may be permitted to class the sentiment of deep hatred with which Great Britain is regarded by all in America who incline to the democratic faction. Let the deep devotion with which the interests of Eng land were defended by the loyal Canadians during the late troubles be contrasted with the bitter enmity which . the democrats, of the United States entertain towards the mother country, and then let the most profound adept in the casuistry of "liberalism" venture to say, whether the stock - cif kindly feeling has not been les sencd by that, the first of our modern " glorious re volutions,"--and whether any cause that shall suffice to weaken the bonds of affection between men of the same race, be likely to strengthen the solid interests of the human family. Whatever be the value of these suggestions—about one fact, at all events, there can be no dispute; and that fact is, the longing desire of the whole democratic party in the 'United States to wrest the Canadas from England. The northern republicans have learned •41.) regard every portion of the soil of America as theirs by a sort of indefeasible right. They do exterminate the red Indians without scruple ; and they would, if they possessed the power, exterminate the Cana dian assertors of the supremacy of England with quite as little hesitation. The English power in Ca nada is a source of weakness to the federal republic. That federation is, in all probability, destined to endure for but a brief period. Often - already has it been on the verge of disruption. Let, however, the period of its existence draw to a close, while the power of Eng land shall remain unshaken in Canada—and it is far from being impossible, that the next generation of En glishmen may witness the re-union of a large.portion of the United States with the British Empire. The possession of the Canadas, at any rate, places the United States, in the event of a war, to a great extent, at the mercy of England. The possession of the Ca nadas places at our disposal the energies of a hardy, intelligent, and most loyal race—furnishes harbours of the best description for our vessels of war—and en riches us with the materials of a colonial trade, which, if wisely prosecuted, might render the expenses even of a formidable war of little moment. In point of real value, a colonial trade is second only to a borne trade. Compared with the colonial trade which England might easily create, her foreign trade is absolutely contemptible. The advantages of a colo nial trade are, in fact, the advantages of a home trade on a smaller scale. A colonial trade is free from the insecurity that attends all foreign trade. A colonial trade is never afflicted with " panics." A colonial trade is, in short, susceptible of regulation, by the rulers, with whom it rests to regulate our home trade. The colonial empire of Great Britain might afford end less scope to industrial enterprise, and might be made pnvister, in a degree scarce l y calculable, to the !„.N=eltigOid power of the mother country. 4 : i i i di". lindoubtedly, that the tandem, Of inc,. plAlosophy " ig to 'reprefient color than useless—as )urdens" on the parent stat it not be forgotten, however, that the tendency of the same "philosophy" is to represent a large portion of our labourers—the real strength of every country—as `a surplus population burden" on the country whicE their energies en and defend. The beautiful "philosophy" in question describes, in like manner, the monarcl burden —the church '—the order of nobility as a as a " burden.'

Our no ble colonies can afford to be classed with our labour ers, our monarch, and our nobles. THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL'S SPEECH. (From the Morning Herald.) The speech of her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, in this day's Herald, on the occasion of opening the ordinary Cortes, will be read with great interest by all who have watched the march of events in the Penin sula, ever since the interference of Great Britain, in developing the crude but gigantic projects of the ultra liberal faction in Spain. This royal speech conveys a lesson which may be wafted, with advantage, to constitution-jobbers far be yond the mouths of the Tagus. Political purists--(to whom the associations of ancient story—of chivalrous devotion and unspotted loyalty—of national good faith and of " honour," as " the sacred law of kings"—are but the legendary gossip of that" old almanack" into which Lord - Plunkett once resolved the entire histor of British legislation ;—political purists ma surely, to blush for their own blunders, sumptuous indiscretion of their favouri What ! Has the warfare of " young Spain"-against the old regime, prejudices, laws, institutions, habits and feelings, the dominion of which she avowed her self so much more eager to get rid of, than the inflic tion even of Don Carlos himself for her master ;—has this war terminated, as all mustltdmit, successfully, for no more honest or pacific end than the concentration of her power in a flagrant attempt upon the national rights of her younger sister—Portugal ? Has Portu gal expelled from her soil a prince who was her king de facto, if not de jure ;—has she, cheered ,on by the sympathisin g invocations of this very Spain, hacked by the same foreign aids of money, arms, and men ; has Portugal remodelled all her ancient institutions, too, and trodden under foot, with a kindred indiffe rence, the once cherished escutcheons of her former rank among European states, to reap no kindlier fruits of " agitation" than an insulting menace from Spain, that, whether the Portuguese nation so will it or not, the waters of the Douro shall be absolutely patent to the Spanish flag as well as to her own ? Is this the " prisca fides" which states have been said ever to ob serve in their reciprocal relations, when they arm, and fight, and conquer in a common cause ? Why, no sooner has Spain found a little breathing-time after the fatigues of her intestine struggle and the contempla tion of the overwhelming achievements of Sir Lacy De Evans in her service,—than she turns upon the unsus pecting associate of her campaign against "absolu tism" or " legitimacy," (or by what other cabalistic designation it may be most agreeable to describe such offensive things as establishments),—she turns upon " emancipated" Portugal, and deals this insidi ous blow at her reviving strength. "You are again called together," says Donna Maria to her Cortes, by reason of "an unexpected and most serious political occurrence." " It is painful to me to have to an nounce to you that the government of her Catholic Majesty has, in reference to the question of the navi gation of the Douro, presented an unjust demand, to which it was not possible for me to accede, and which has given grounds for serious fears of an 'intention to break the alliance and friendship which, to their mu tual advantage, have subsisted between the two na tions." What an astounding evidence that the pre tensions of those who have been most active—openly or secretly—in raising up these new fabrics of consti tutional government, the bases of which were to be laid no less deeply than the principles of public vir tue and national generosity and honour could be planted,—were as hollow, as transient, and as fragile as their own claims upon the confidence of this genera tion, or on the respect of posterity. Whatever the present government of Portugal and those which have within these six years preceded it may have done to wean from the Portuguese nation that prompt and dis interested good feeling this country has manifested to wards her for centuries -,—any sins of theirs can neither palliate to the world, nor atone for to her, the unprin cipled violence with which Spain announces her inten tion of carrying out her design. We infer, indeed, from sources of private, as well as public information, that some Lusitanian Poulett Thomson originally blun dered on this suicidal proposition, under the ridiculous delusion that since to open the navigation of the Douro must be, to a certain extent, an opening for free trade, therefore it must be eminently advantageous for Por tuffal. Because, in that event, Spain could carry her cheaper -grown corn and wines and other produce through the very heart of the provinces of Tras as Montes, Entre Minho e Douro, and Beira, therefore he judged it to be clear that the hardy agricultural popu lation of those provinces, who have little or nothing but wines and agricultural produce to exchange, must be eminently benefited by the intervention of the Spa nish trader. The landed interests of Portugal, how ever, are as obstinately wedded to the necessity of protecting predial interests, and as wilfully blind to the immense advantages of spreading foreign cheap corn over their native districts, at the simple price of throw ing them out of cultivation in a short period, as that vast section of the English people, who believe that Joseph Hume either does not understand the working of his anti-corn law question sufficiently to be able to appreciate all the disasters which its adoption would generate in this empire, or has not as much feeling (if he do appreciate them) for all the sufferers who would be his victims as a single ear of wheat could carry ! or the pi e diseipli AWFUL DEATH OF SAM SCOTT THE AMERICAN DIVER (From the Morning Herald of Tuesday) Yesterday Sam Scott was - again to have taken one of his extraordinary leaps into the river. 'Waterloo-bridge was the spot fixed upon for the performance of the feat, and at two o'clock p.m. the steam-boat pier, both sides of the river, and every spot commanding a view of the scaffolding which had been erected on the side of the bridge adjoining Somerset House, was crowded with spectators. By half-past two o'clock that part of Waterloo-bridge on which the scaffolding was erected, and the entire space fur a considerable distance around, was thronged •by several hundreds of individuals, mostly of the lower class ; and to amuse them while a collec tion was being made for his benefit, Sam began, as on former similar occasions, to display his agility, and amongst other feats entertained the spectators with a mock execution. A' rope, to one end of which was attached a slip knot, wa s sus pended from one of the cross beams, and underneath were two other beams or cross poles. On the upper one the diver was seated, and, having fastened the noose properly round his neck, jerked himself off into the air, intending to make use of the lower pole to assist him to regain his former posi tion after he had remained suspended a short time. 'Mice was this feat.repeated, and as often did he recover himself, after hanging in the air for some moments, by the assistance of the lower pole. A third time was the daring a tt empt made, and a third time was he suspended by the neck in the air. This time, however, the rope, from some cause, came down lower than was intended, and, after hanging for a few minutes, his face began to assume the appearance denoting strangulation, and it was evident to most persons th a t h e was in imminent danger, although many, from his former suc cessful manoeuvres, thought that this was only a still more -daring repetition of the exhibition. They were, however, quickly undeceived, for, after the lapse of a few minut es , th e diver's frame became suddenly agitated by a thrilling motion. A shudder (which was distinctly seen by the spectators) fol lowed, after which the body remained perfectly still. The most incredulous were now satisfied that all was not right, and immediate attempts were made to reach the unfortunate man, but for a long time the attempt to get at him. was with out success. He rem ainedhanging full a quarter of an hour, anc was then cut down, but the body remained without the slightest motion, and lie appeared quite dead. Medical as- - . sistance was soon at hand,,and every effort made to restore him, bat without effect. He was then conveyed to Charing cross Hospital, whera the body now lies, awaiting the coro ner's inqnest. It was rumoured that his neck -was broken in two places. ADDITIONAL PARTICULAR, The extraordinary sensation created by the untimely fate of this poor fellow will probably render a few particulars relative to his life and career not unacceptable to the public, the principal portion being collected from the deceased him self, may add to the interest. The story that he was not an American, but a native of Deptford, is untrue. Scott, ac cording to his own shewing, was born at Philadelphia, in the United States, and at an early age entered the American navy, and served on board several frigates, in which he com menced his daring feats as a diver, by jumping from the top masts of the vessels he served in into the sea. His extra ordinary courage and prowess as a diver rendered him very popular, and after quitting the naval service, he travelled about the union exhibiting, and collected a good deal of money as the reward of his daring, particularly in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. He suhsequently visited Canada, and made some tremendous leaps from the banks of the St. Lawrence; and the lakes which intersect that country ; but his chef d'ceuvre as a leaper was from .a pre cipice below the falls of Niagara, where, according to his own statement, he jumped the amazing distance of 593 feet into the water, which he accomplished without injury or in convenience. Incredible as this feat may appear, Scott solemnly averred that he had performed it, and was willing to attempt it again, in this country, if a spot could be found of sufficient altitude for the purpose. He has been in Eng land upwards of twelve months, and has visited nearly all the seaports, and has taken some astonishing leaps in the Isle of Wight and Pembroke dockyard. We first heard of him in London about three or four months ago. when he made several leaps from the topgallant mast of a collier brig moored off the town-pier at Gravesend. He next came up to Deptford, and jumped from the masts of a large American ship. Upon one of those occasions an accident befel him similar to that which terminated so fatally yesterday. H e was going through his usual antics, such as clinging with his feet to the spars, and letting his head and arms hang down, fixing his head in the noose of a rope, &c, when the noose suddenly slipped tight, and he hung suspended. The spec tators thinking this merely oue of his ordinary feats, vocife rously applauded him, when it was perceived that he was turning black in the face, and an alarm was raised that the diver was strangling. A moment afterwards Scott made a desperate effort to extricate himself by flinging his feet up aloft, and managed to loosen the rope, and get his neck out. In answer to the inquiries of the crowd below as to whether ire was injured, Scott replied in the negative, exclaiming— " The hemp that is to hang me is not grown yet." It is a singular fact that the subscription in his behalf among the spectators amounted to nearly double upon this occasion to done before, ; this is a striking Maser ante of,t4gbt.lovers in England, for the he, then c the Custo House and Southwark-bridge, and took his "last leap" from Waterloo-bridge. The diver, invariably before taking a leap, performed a number of tricks and antics for the amusement of his auditors, some of which were quite terrific to witnesss, particularly his suspending himself by a rope round his neck, and he has frequently been advisedto dispense with it, but he always replied that not the slightest danger attended the performance of the trick, and generally used to observe on such occasions, that he had been assured by a fortune-teller that he should. never die by either hanging or drowning. He was consequently not at all apprehensive on that score. Scott, though by no means an intelligent man, was a very civil, un assuming fellow, and very abstemious, seldom taking any thing but a dram of neat rum after his immersion in the water. He was very anxious to jump from the top of the Monument, and was asked if he would attempt it if two or three loads of straw were placed below for him to alight upon, which he refused to do, but was Willing to attempt it if the corporation of London would provide eight or ten feet of water for him to fall into ; and he talked of applying to the Lord Mayor on the subject, but he never did so. (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) This unfortunate man was in his 28th year. He was about 5 feet 7 inches in height, slender in make, and appeared at least 12 years older than he really was. His penchant for swimming and diving displayed itself at a very He had served on boa - rd English and American frigates, and his skill and dexterity as a seaman, his bravery and good con duct, would have secured him promotion in either service, if he had not abandoned a naval life and become a mountebank to please the depraved taste of mobs. Notwithstanding the multitudes he always collected to witness his singular feats, and his great popularity, his remuneration seldom exceeded a few shillings, except on two occasionsof exhibition off the Cus tom House, when £4. was collected at one time, and £3. the INQUEST UPON THE BODY Iforning Herald of Wednesday.) (From the Last evening roner for Westminster principal inhabitants of the neighbourhood A seven o'clock, Mr. Higgs, the deputy co d a jury, consisting of 24 of the ssembled in the board-room of the ( quiry into th( )ss Hospital, to institute an i ircumstances attending the death of Samt Scott, whose daring exploits have, for months past, engrossed the attention of the inhabitants of this metropolis, and who lost his life while exhibiting on Monday afternoon in the presence of thousands. The jury havin g proceeded to view the body, which pre- seated no other - aiipearance of violenc blue Mark round his neck, on their return the adduced The first witness called was Samuel Rutherford, police serjeant 7, F. division. He stated that about half-past two o'clock he was passing down the Strand, and seeing a large crowd assembled at Waterloo-bridge, he went there. After waiting a few minutes, he saw the deceased, Scott, come on to the bridge, with a rope round his chest like braces. He stood on the bridge a few moments, and he then ascended a scaffold, which witness imagined was put there on purpose. It consisted of two upright poles, and three cross ones over the second arch of the east side or the bridge, and deceased then went from one pole to the other, and shook and tried them. Coroner Did you think him sober Witness— —I saw nothing that made me think to the con- Examination continued—He then ascended the left-hand pole, having the hankerchief I now produce round his head. He tied the handkerchief to the top of the pole, as he th , iught, to form a flag. H e ascended the cross poles, looked earnestly at the water, shook his head, and smiled. Coroner—Had the deceased a ladder climbing, and apparently with the greatest eas Examination continued—Deceased tied this rope round one 'of the cross poles, which appeared to be so placed that he could lodge his feet on one. and his head on the other. He then took hold of the loop with his right hand and made a jump from the second pole as if springing into the water. He then, by the strength of his arm, pulled himself up again ; then opened the noose in the rope, put his hands across the top pole, raised himself on a level with the top of the pole and placed his feet through the noose, and became suspended. After being so'a minute or two, by dint of great strength he drew himself up again. —No, be did it with Juror—Wasthe - re a simple noose to the rope ? Witness—The cord was twisted round it to prevent its slipping, as I suppose, and when I came to undo it, I found much difficulty. Examination continued—Deceased put his noose, placing the knot a little on the right side of his head, and let him- self down gently by putting his hands up to the rope until he was suspended by the rope. He appeared to be desirous of showing the public the symptoms of a man hanging, and did not lift his hands up, or raise himself, but merely shrug ged his shoulders. - Coroner—l have known a person who so gently hung himself that those in the next room did not hear him. Examination continued—After deceased had hung six or seven minutes somebody said the man had hung himself, and Inspector Musgrove, of the F. division, insisted on having the man taken down. The people laughed, and said Scott was doing it on purpose—they had frequently seen him do it before. Mr. Musgrove, however, insisted, and several people went to the spot and he was drawn up. His tongue was then partially between his teeth, his eyes partly open, and his face black. Juror-Could any one see his face whilst he hung Witness—No, his face was to the water. 'By the Coroner—The rope did not appear to rest upon his jaw, but completely around his neck. 1 took the rope off by untwining some of the cord. There were several 'medical men present, and they tried to bleed him immediately, but only a few drops of blood came. He was then brought to this hospital. _ Juror—bid deceased pay the toll of the bridge Witness—l dont know. Had he friends with him ?—A man, who I was told was his brother, who had a box, and was collecting money from the crowd. The cross poles were twenty feet from the ground. He did not wear a cravat; his shirt-collar was lying down on his shirt, as sailors do. Francis Godfrey, proprietor of the White Lion, 118 Drury- ine-Ifirst sa - nr . Seott about two mouths ago, and he then said he wanted to jump from Waterloo-bridge. Three or four days afterwards he came and asked me if there was water enough to do it, and whether they (the bridge com mittee) would allow him to do it, and pay him for jumping. 1 said I would inquire of the directors, and I went to a gen tleman at their office. He said he could not give any per mission, as it lay with the committee, who did not meet till the 16th inst. I then received the following letter from Scott. . The letter was here put in, and was as follows : " London, January 4, 1841 _ .. _. _ " Sir,—l now take the opportunity of writing these few lines to you, stating that i am willing to come to Waterloo bredge, and have a scaffold put up on the bredge, to con vince you what i can Go through with, i ar ready at your command at any time to go through any performinse in the water, and so i will please anybody that Conies to see me. Sir, if you want me at any time i am at your command.— Sir, i remain yours, S. Scorr. " Sir please to write to Mr. Scott at Mr. Sparks, Bank side, near the Iron Bridge, Rose and Bell. Sir please to write soon, if it won't do i will go to blackwater." Examination continued—l went after the receipt of this letter to an officer of the Bridge Comp4ny, and he said it might be dangerous, and he would give no permission. I told Scott, who said " I have a scaffold ; erect it ;" and I did. He had had money made him a present by the South wark-bridge Company, and thought it likely the Waterloo bridge people would do the same. I saw him again bn Mon day, the scaffold having been erected. We were never inter fered with in taking the scaffold on to the bridge. 1 paid threepence for the truck to carry it in. The deceased put his things on in my house. He was very powerful, about 5 feet 7 inches high, and 27 years of age. When he was de- stroying a pair of trousers by slashing them with a penknife, he said he did it to convince the people he wore neither quick silver nor India rubber. At the time I remarked that I should like them for the British Museum. By the Jury.—He had taken two half hitches, which had pressed the knot round his neck. If he had only taken one, as he intended, this would never have been. He intended to have made a bowline knot, which would have kept the noose open. I never made a wager with any one that he would hang himself in time. He was perfectly sober when he came to my house, and all he had to drink was the third of a guar tern of gin and some cold water. Examination continued.—When the police said he was dead 1 ran to different chemists, but found many on the By - the Jury.—l repeat it, to the best of my belief, that if he had made the knot as he intended he never would have died. Mr. Kethan is the gentleman I saw at the Bridge Company's office, who gave me permission. I wanted Scott not_to suspend himself, but he would have his own way. Henry Hancock, surgeon, sworn, said, a quarter before three o'clock yesterday a gentleman came into the .hospital and said a man had just hung himself at Waterloo-bridge. I requested a surgeon to go and see what was the matter. Deceased was brought in at three o'clock quite dead. Dr. Goulding.—Mr. Shand, my colleague, and Dr. Choune, examined him, and we did everything we could. I opened his juguler vein • stimulating embrocations were ap plied to different parts Of his body, he was placed in a warm bath, and we electrified him ; in fact, everything was done, our efforts being kept up for an hour and a half. The arte ries were opened, and he lost. half a pint of Mood. There were the marks of two ropes round his neck. I 'have no doubt his death was caused by suffocation. We inflated the lungs with air. . This was the whole of the evidence offered. Mr. Powell, holding the situation of surveyor to the Wa terloo-bridge Company, said, " I am the man whom the witness Godfrey alludes to. The jury must see that the bridge committee were in, no way to blame. Indeed it would be found that, by Godfrey's eYidence, they were quite excul pated." He (Mr. Powell) had persuaded Godfrey not to undertake any such thing. No officer, director, or proprie tor, ever did or ever would have suffered such a thing to take place ; and his object was to disabuse the public mind of the idea that the bridge officers had in any way sanctioned such a thing. Mr. Powell came on Monday and found the scaffold up, and a large concourse of persons. He would have had the scaffold then removed, but he was dissuaded by a gentleman, who said there would be a disturbance if it were interfered with, and that this man had done it often enough, and would not hurt himself. A Juror said it was strange nobody interfered with the scaffold. How did it get through the toll-gate on to the bridge ? M. Powell said a toll-collector told him that a lame man had informed him that leave had been given by the directors. A Juror said it was a very lax way of doing business. Anybody by saying what was not true might take anything on the bridge• Some of the parties connected with the bridge must have seen the scaffold. Tiw Coroner said he should have thought some hundreds might have seen it, especially as it was there all day on Sunday. _ • Mr. Powell repeated that the bridge committee had never authorised such proceedings. They knew nothing of this in dividual. He (the man) had exhibited at a hundred places, and constantly in London within the last six weeks. He might have lost his life at one place as well as at another ; but still he had no authority to perform there. The jury, after a short discussion, retired to consider their verdict ; and, after an absence of a quarter of an hour, re turned, and said their verdict was " Accidental Death." A Juror.—lt was by show of hands. Is that legal? Coroner.- 0 , yes. Twelve would be sufficient. Another JurOrl—Four of us were not opposed to that ver dict; but we were inclined to pass a strong censure, accom panying that verdict. STATE OF TRADE ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, Monday, Ja. 11.— Though to-day has been what is called the "first market," we have had but very little change in the demand for goods. Upon the whole, there has been a little improvement, but no alteration in the prices. The wool market remains steady, and prices looking np. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, January 12.—This was a tole rably brisk market, especially in low, plain, and fancy wool lens, for which the demand continues unabated, arising principally from foreign orders. In other descriptions there is not much animation ; but, on the average, a fair general business is doing. Prices still continue firm, but low, which makes it diffi cu l t t o rea li ze a profit on wool. In the ware houses there is little or no change. Stocks are not large, and all the mills are working full time. On Sat L OP THE "LADY THIEF.' GLASGOW JUSTICI v Jane I tresie, or Harris, was char he criale of theft, in so far as on t Hotel, Ulassf night of the 15th or le 16th of October last, within the Commercial ied by Mrs. Stewart the pockets of Mr. Thonias Bayne, coin- nercial traveller' frorr sovereign, from Mr. Robert Jacob dam, aßank of England note of £5., and three sovereigns, from same hotel ; also on the 16th of October, from the Royal Hotel, George-square (Carrick's), from the pockets of ;er, two bank notes' , as also a Card-, also from the pockets of Mr. Robert Paul, of the Commer cial Bank, Edinburgh, same place, manager of the Commer cial Bank of Scotland, L 7..; all the above sums having been taken while the owners were asleep in bed. The prisoner, in an audible voice, pleaded " not guilty." The trial excited a deep interest in the public mind. The singular circumstances attending the thefts with which the prisoner stood charged—the boldness and dexterity which had characterised their commission—the known superiority of the prisoner in point of education, and, above all, the mys tery which hung .over her history, all combined to create a strong feeling of curiosity, and to beget an anxious desire to see the prisoner, and hear the proceedings on her trial. The court was accordingly very much crowded, and among the spectators there was a greater proportion of ladies than is usual, On Mrs. Harris making her appear ance, the utmost eagerness was manifested to get a sight of her countenance. She was veiled when she first en tered the court, but on her name being called to hear the indictment read over, she lifted the veil from her face. We were exceedingly struck with the alteration which had taken place upon her from the period of her imprisonment. Before her commitment to gaol we had au opportunity of seeing the prisoner, and could not fail to mark what every person who saw ber had obServed, that she had a pair of most attractive, we had almost said bewitching, black eyes. On Saturday, however, her eyes had undergone a most con\- plete transformation. At a distance the white portion of the eye-ball appeared to be unnaturally prominent ; while a nearer inspection showed that she had a decided squint. This singular change gave her countenance, as may be sup posed, an appearance very different from that which formerly characterised it, and certainly not in the way of improve - !ssion upon some people in court was, that ;ned ; but on inquiry we find that it has nd that the surgeon of ae squi been observable I tbOve a month as given it his opinion that in all likelihood the strange alteration has been caused by some disorder brought on by excessive anxiety ,of mind. Unless when spoken to by her counsel, Mr. Maxwell, or by her agent, Mr. A. Young, the prisoner, throughout the whole of the trial, kept her eyes shut, and, though pale, manifested the most perfect composure. She was dressed in a straw hat and veil, and black silk gown and shawl, and altogether her dress might be called becoming, if -not elegant. After all the evidence had been adduced, Mr. Maxwell, the prisoner's counsel, addressed the jury, and Lord Cock burn having summed up, stated his perfect belief of the guilt of the prisoner. The jury, without retiring from the box, S ave in a verdict, unanimously finding the prisoner guilty of all the charges, with the exception of that relating to the theft from Mr. Mees, which had been departed from by the public prosecu tor. The prisoner was then sentenced to 18 month's imprison ment in the prison of Glasgow. Lord Medwyn, in propo sing, and Lord Cockburn, in passing sentence, both expressed a doubt that they had dealt too lenient a sentence. The prisoner was evidently a woman above the rank and condi tion of the ordinary race of criminals, and, from her superior education, must have well known the aggravated nature of the crimes she had committed. They were not sure but seven years' transportation ought to have been awarded, but the court being always inclined to mercy, had, after consi deration, resolved on doing so on the present occasion. The prisoner then left the bar. LOSS OF THI THAME S STI ANIE R, (From the Morning Herald of Tuesdag.) FURTHER PARTIC Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from their agent at Scilly, dated sth January, 1841 _ _ _ " it is our painful duty to report the loss of the Thames steamer, Captain Gray, from Dublin, bound to Plymouth and London. She struck on one of the westernmost rocks off these islands, called Jackey's Rocks, at about six a.m. yesterday morning, the 4th instant. Three women were saved by being hauled with lines through the sea to a small boat, that went, at great risk of life, to the vessel from St. Agnes ; and whilst the boatmen were getting the women into the boat, they shipped a heavy sea, which nearly filled her, and obliged them to quit the wreck. Soon after,. the flood tide having made to the north,.against the wind, caused a tremendous sea, and the ship unfortunately went to pieces, and all the crew and passengers on board were drowned, ex cept the three women before-mentioned, and one seaman, called Edward Karons, who, with about ten others of the crew, got on a piece of the wreck, and were driven on the small uninhabited island, or rocks, called Rosevear, but who were so much exhausted when they reached the shore, that they could not get up the rocks, and were drowned. Tho• bodies have since been taken off the rocks, and carried to St. Agnes, the l►ghthouse island, from whence Karons and the three feinalcs'saved have this day been brought to St. Mary's. JANUARY 6.—As far as 14:e can at present ascertain, there were on board, when the vessel left Dublin on Satur day, the 2d instant, five gentlemen paisengers. twenty re cruits, two soldiers, and one serjeant (three of them were lost in getting into one of the ship's boats, which was cap ized) ; two women and an infant ; Captain Gray, two mates, and twelve crew ! - —f! believe, a few deck and, w passengers. Persons E eases, and one sailor." -One young lady, two steward The following is a copy of a letter from Lloyd's agent at Sciily, to the Secretary of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company : _ . _ _ _ _ Lloyd's Agency Office, St. Mary's, Scilly, 6th January, 1841. MR. P. HOWELL, SECRETARY, CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM COMPANY, EDEN-QUAY, DUBLIN Sir,—lt is with the deepest concern we have to acquaint you of the loss of the Thames steam-boat, Captain Gray, from Dublin, bouncl . to London, and to record the very melancholy account of the almost entire loss of the captain, crew, and passengers, there being only the two stewardesses, one young lady, Miss Cecilia :Morris, (whose father was one of the passengers, and who unhappily perished), and one sea man, called Edward Kearns, saved. The captain and mate, it appears, having mistaken the St. Agnes Lights for the Longships, became entangled with the rocks near the Island of St. Agnes, and that about four o'clock a.m., the vessel having gone over a ledge of aunken rocks, a sea broke tre mendously into her and nearly filled her, so much so that she became unmanageable; and the fire being quite extinguished, Captain Gray ordered the mainsail, fore sail, and fore staysail to be set, in the hope that the vessel would have worked out through a narrow sound or passage ; but, being water-logged, she went broadside in upon a dreadful reef of rocks, called Jolly Rock, when she went to pieces about one o'clock p.m., and the vessel and cargo consequently, we fear, totally lost. The moment the Thames was discovered from the island of St. Agnes, the nearest inhabited island to the vessel, three row ing -boats immediately put off, with the hope of reaching the vessel, the sea and wind at the time being very violent. One of the boats only, a small six-oared one, succeeded, with great difficulty and imminent danger, in getting within two or three times her length of the vessel, and having receired lines from her, which were afterwards arranged and secured round the waists of the two stewardesses and Miss Cecilia Morris, they were, one after the other, drawn, through the sea into the said boat ; and, in the hope of the wind and sea not becoming more severe, the boatmen calculated upon landing the three •females upon an island about- a quarter of a mile from the wreck, and then returning to save others of the passengers and crew ; but, alas ! both wind and sea increased to such a tremendous height, that it was quite impossible for her to return ; soon after which the mainmast was carried away, with the captain and about twenty other passengers, lashed fast to the rigging and top, who were either killed or drowned by the falling thereof. The quarter-deck having parted from the vessel, the sailor, Edward Kearns, with several others, remained on it, and was driven by the sea towards the little island of Rose vear ; but with the exception of the said Edward Kearns, who was washed with the raft upon the rocks of said island, and thereby saved, the rest were all washed off and drowned. The stewardess and a young lady landed at the Island of St. Agnes, about three o'clock p.m., and every attention was paid to them, and they were removed with the seaman to day from thence-to this island, where they will receive every care. The corpses. nine men and one woman, have been found amongst the rocks; and washed on shore at Rosevear ; and after being brought here, and an inquest' being held, were interred at this island. We write in great haste to save the packet, and beg to assure you, that should any of the materials of the Thames, such as anchors, cables, or other articles, or any part of the cargo, be taken- up or washed ashore, we shall take care to claim them for the account of your company and others interested therein, and will advise you thereof; and, soliciting your instructions should any thing be taken up from the wreck, or washed on shore, we remain, sir, your most obedient servants, (Signed) EDWARDS and JOHNS. A gardener in Scotland has discovered that our finest win ter apple, the Ribston pippin, may be preserved from the ravages of the American aphis or bug, an insect which has of late years been very destructive to wall fruit, by grafting the pippin on the stock of the jargoned pear, which the. insect is never known to attack. This engraftmeut also improves the fruit in size and flavour.

THE REAL OBJECT OF THE PYRAMIDS.—The following is extracted from a letter from M. D'Abdaie, dated Cairo, December 3 :—.‘ Except some favoured spots in Arabia and Palestine, there are few places where the philosophic mind is oftener called on to elucidate the mysteries of past ages than Cairo. In our days of science and enterprise, those pyramids on which I now gaze from my terrace are still the most stu pendous efforts of human skill and perseverance. I have had lately the good fortune to meet Professor W. Forchammer, of the Kiel University, in the Duchy of Holstein, and I may venture to affirm that the grand arcanuni, the cui bony of those singular structures is at length solved by that able anti quarian. As he - published in the year 1837, a little disserta tion on this subject, I need not rehearse the chain of reason ing by which he establishes that the pyramids are artificial hills, built over vast receptacles of water. It is not, perhaps, extraordinary, that the Ethiopians, who first colonised Egypt, should have taken such precautions to supply their newly built cities with water cleansed by subsidiency and cooled by out lets always turned to the north. We learn from Bruce and Pearce, in what singula r venera ti o n pure water is still h e ld by the Agows, who will never offer any to a stranger. But, howe ver satisfied with his new theory, the profess , .r was still anxious to extend his researches by ocular demonstration, and although extremely diffident before he set out, he had the good fortune to collect new proofs from a careful survey of several pyramids. In this part of his inquiries he deri ve d considerable as s ist ance from the labours of Col. Wyse, who, by a succession of most praiseworthy attempts, has succeeded iu discovering a new chamber and several of those syringes mentioned by Strabo. It is much to be regretted that some of the spirited scientific associations of the British empire have not taken up the questio n of a thorough history and survey of the pyramids. The latter part of the undertaking might be accomplished by a well-combined system of boring." —Atheneum. &biPPfli katellignur.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MA.RKILT, JAN 13 Speculators (acting upon advices per packet o ' fth - elgtkiultimo, of short crops) for the laet three or four days had operated to a large extent, but this morning it was evident the fever had abated, and the trade had the market to themselves ; their demandiwere large, and as the day advanced, speculators came in, causing a ♦ery extensive business to be done, say to the amount of 12,000 bales, at prices very similar to those of Monday and Tuesrlay. The market, ac is usual, when much excitement prevails, Was very uneven, and •many desirous of realizing at the late advance, made some little concession to the buyer. THURSDAY EVENING The spirited demand so prevalent of late, has materially subsided, and it is evident that consumers will proceed very cautiously in their purchases, merely supplying their. immediate wants. This has caused a tamer market to-day, and the change is in favour of the buyer. Cotton is more freely shewn, and a desire to realize is very evident. The arrival of the steamer is looked for with con siderable anxiety, as her accounts of crop, &c. will rather establish the advance, or cause a reduction, not perhaps to a large extent. She would leave od the Ist instant, and may be hourly expected. The market 'loses with a quieter appearance, and the business of the day is estimated at 6,000 bales. 1500 American and 800 Surat on speculation account. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN 14. The Inland navigation having been closed by the frost, we are not able to report any important transactions in Butter for actual consumption. There are however several speculative inquiries, and the currency of all descriptions is well supported. Pickled Butter is a free sale, and commands 103 s per cwt. Beef and Pork are dull—so is Bacon ; some revival is. shortly expected in the former articles. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JA. There was only a poor show of cattle to-day, whether as it re gards quality or quantity. The best Beef was rather dearer, though we do not alter the quotations. Prime wether Mutton was also dearer, and in one or two cases as much as 8d per lb was paid, but the general run for prime stuff we quote at 'ad per lb, or id per lb advance on last week's rates. Every thing was sold. Best Beef, 5-ild to 62d • middling and ordinary, 4id to .54d. Prime Mutton did to lid, and Ewes, &c., 54d to 64d per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, JAN. 13 Foreign : Low, and unwashed wools have been purchased to a considerable extent, for the American and Continental markets, but the home trade has had a quiet appearance, in a great degree ,owing to manufacturers having been engaged in stocks taking, and the prevalence of frost. Imported this week; 3040 bags. Scotch : owing to the causes as signed above, there was very little inquiry for any description of Scotch wools. The imports 'how ever, continue to be limited, and there is a fair prospect of a speedy improvement in prices. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JANUARY 12. With the exception of three weeks in NOvember, the weather has Leen very favourable for the Winter Seed time, which has been well accomplished; and, although we have had many weeks of very severe frost, with little or no snow throughout this district, until Saturday last, since which we have had a very heavy fall, and there is now a covering of several inches deep—prospects seem very satisfactory for the next harvest. Our own farmers have been rather limited in their supplies hitherto, but this market is .never much influenced thereby—depending on our imports—of which, no doubt, we shall have our usual share from the European, American and Canadian in the spring and summer;—many pur chases having been made, and order's in the course of being executed for Wheat, at prices which will stand in here 37s to 40s per imperial quarter. On the subject of the Corn Laws, we need make no further comment, recent events last September may very likely lead to some modification. DUring the past week easterly winds have admitted arrivals of Grain but very partially, but with the preceding imports have much exceeded the demand; the prices of Wheat have, however, been fully supported, and in some instances a little exceeded, and Flour has nearly recovered the decline of the preceding week. The only alteration in the duties• since Friday last is an increase of is 6d per quarter on .Rye and Beans. We note no alteration in the value of bq,nded Flour or Grain. - The supplies to this day's market, have been increased by the arrival yesterday of about fifteen vessels, Grain-laden, Coastways, chiefly with Foreign Wheat from London, and with Mait, Barley and Beans from Norfolk, &c. and we have experienced very dull sales to-day, at about the prices of this day week, for every article in the corn trade.
