There is a variety which will prevent the attention from lagging. The first ar ticle, or rather the introduction to it, amused us vastly, and principally at the expense of the great doctor whom the en lightened constituency of Bolton delight to honour. Dr. Bow ring has the re putation of being an uncommonly clever fellow in tong u es, a talent of which he is not a little vain, if we may judge from his restlessness in its exhibition.

On Sunday evening, the 29 th ult., the cotta ge of a poor old labouring man named Sam Poppet was broken fter who, a pac king up every into, and entered by two men, thing of valor bands upon, delib erately they could lay their sat down anC i made a fire, and then asked the poor trembling old man what death he should like to die, and whether they should hang o r b urn him He replied that either would be very hard ; whereu . th up with a hand- Poo they oun is mouth kerchief, and threw him on the fire, one of them kneeling on his body to keep him on the flames. The other wretch, mean while, gathered a lot of old rags, which he placed on the old man's breast and neck, and then set fire to them ; and the to rtures became so extreme, that the sufferer'swhich senses forsook im, and he became utterly unconscious, in sta te he remained for some honrs. On recovering, he crawled to the open air, where he was discovered in the n a m orning in W ea k a rea nd d ful state, the flesh being complete l y burned from his ec breast to below his ibs, both on the back d fore part of the body, and his whole person converted into amass of scorched and charred mummy. Yet he still survives, though gradually s i n king. The brutes who committed this inhuman cruelty are yet undiscovered.—Caromarthen Journal J unrave EDWARD OXFORD IN BETHLEHEM.—The ensuing par ticulars are furnished by a gentleman who visited Bethlehem Hospital a few days ago, and upon whose veracity the most reliance may heplaced.

From the first s cruel ma I harsh treatment. The labour __ limbs failed to do their duty a 1114, strap, or not unfrequently a thick piece of wood, .. inhumanly applied to his person. Six o'clock in the cnornii4, was the usual hour at w'' s put in his mer gen his rudgery, and as most ch this poor boy was sent into the pit, and at the same hour in the evening—but not unfre quently eight or nine o'clock—he was again submerged, his only assistance being a muffin, or some such other eatable, and the water in thr pit. The cruelties practised upon him have been greatly increased since his inhuman master was married (about two years since), the woman it appears having taken a dislike to the poor orphan lad. As a sample of the barbarities which this collier boy has had to undergo, let the punishment he has experienced during the past fortnight suffice. It appears that the severe flogging which Whiteley re ceived caused him once or twice to run away from his master. A short time ago he was so beat with a hurrier's strap, and a heavy piece of wood (a piece of an old cradle), that he again resolved upon running away. He did so, but on Tues day week he was brought before the Halifax magistrates by his master, charged with disobedience. Through the threats and menaces of the cruel tyrant who had treated him so bar barously he was prevented stating the whole facts of the case to the bench. The lad bad intended showing the various wounds inflicted upon his person; enough, however, was said to induce the magistrates to reprimand the master, and the boy was ordered to go back again, and the master warned not to ill-treat them in future. This warning, however, was neglected. The same day he administered a most brutal cas tigation to his victim, which he repeated every day while the lad remained with him. Our readers may imagine that the harrowing details which are to follow are tinged with an air of fiction. They are facts. The poor lad when down in the pit was beat with a stick, and between each stroke the instru ment was dipped in water. The lad's back became one mass of sores, and it was impossible for him to lie in bed. While subject to this inhuman treatment, he was allowed three meals per day of thin water-porridge only, and in conse quence of his brutal treatment boils broke out in all parts of his body. Frequently was he sent into the pit without breakfast, and obliged to perform the whole of his drudgery. What made this the more painful was, the fact of his labour ing under the effects of a severe wound inflicted upon his right knee some time since. On that occasion, while beat r took hold of the tolerably large im with a hurri s strap, the a (which is gen nd opr ite the buckle b a more severe punishment; in one of the strokes the buckle caught the poor lad on the right knee and tore away a large piece of flesh. The lad, however, was still forced to work. On Thursday night week this monster master ducked the lad's head three or four times in a bowl of water, wetting his shirt all over, and then forced him into the cellar, where he remained all night, without bed, chair, table, or even a morsel of straw! The same treatment was about to be prac tised on Friday night, but he begged so pitifully for mercy that he was allowed to go to bed. On Saturday night, how ever, he was again forced into the cellar, where he remained all night. On Sunday morning he was brought out; no breakfast was given him ; but, as a further punishment, his master suspended a heavy bag of iron round his neck, and forced him to walk up and down the room under the terror of another flogging. Some cold porridge (which had been left the previous day) was warmed up and offered him, but he could not eat. His master then left the house, saying he would look out for a good thick stick. The woman shortly after left the house for the purpose of fetching some water from a neighbouring well ; and the lad, being thus for a few moments left alone, resolved upon trying once more to es cape from a worse than African slavery. With great exer tion he managed to unloose the bag of iron from his neck, and made his escape into Grimscar Wood. Thence he stealthily proceeded to the old Copperas Works, where he thus ca remained fill nightfall. During his concealment in the old Copperas Works he heard his master seeking him. The lad, when referrinf , to this circumstance, shudders involuntarily, saying " I did trecrible then." Fortunately, however, he was not discovered. At night he proceeded to Elland, where a charitable woman took him into her house, gave him some coffee, and provided him with a bed. On the Monday lie went to the constable's, who took him to Mr. Joshua Dodg- son, one of the overseers, who was so struck at tt spectacle which the lad presented that he resolved upon res cuing him from his inhuman master. He was brought before the magistrates on Tuesday by the constable, accompanied also by Mr. Dodgson. His back was exhibited, and pre sented from the nape of the neck downwards one continued series of bruises, evidently effected by some solid but thin weapon. His right hand was dreadfully swollen in attempt log to parry off the blows. One part of his body presented rather the appearance of raw, diseased meat, than of human flesh and skin ! It was at first intended to take out a war rant for assault, hut on conferring with the magistrata, it was thought better to take a summons for ill-treatment, with a view to cancel the identures and release the lad from the lia bility to such cruel treatment. shock ii Tile lad was subsequently removed to the workhouse, where he was put under proper medical treatment, and the most assiduous attention has since been paid to him both by Mr. and Mrs. Dyer. DOVER Currs. , --The hand of old Father Time, together with the hand of man, is making sad inroads on these vene rable and hoary cliffs. Since the grand blast of Round down, to the westward of Dover, on the line of the South Eastern Railway, many thousand tons of chalk have been blown into the sea, by a like process, on a similar scale ; and, we understand, another blast of considerable magnitude, also at these railway works, will come off in a day or two. This blast will consist of about 7,0001 b. of gunpowder, and will be ignited by the voltaic battery. SHOCKING OUTRAGE. — On Sunday evening last, the Rev. Joseph Dickey, minister of the third Presbyterian congrega tion of Rathfriland, had assembled his hearers in the Meet ing-house for evening worship, and while in the act of con cluding his sermon, the report of a gun and the crashing of a window beside the pulpit was suddenly heard, -- and the rev. gentleman was observed to stagger and fall. Endeavouring to rally, Mr. Dickey made a struggle to rise hut again fell, and, upon being lifted up, it was found that a number of slugs had entered both arms, passing across his breast, A rush was instantly made by the people to the outside of the house, with the view of securing the assassin ; but, owing to the darkness of the night, and the conster :ation which ensued, having for some seconds held them as it were spell-bound, the miscreant escaped being discovered. A part of the blazing wadding of the gun was found on the window-sill. Our informant tells us that Mr. Dickey is universally be loved by all classes, and to what cause an attempt on his life is to be attributed, it is impossible to conceive. We have not heard the extent of the injury which Mr. Dickey suf fered. but the intent to murder is evident.—Ulster Times. A GHOST STORY.—Sunderland is in an uproar about a ghost! A young mariner of the Myrtle, named Cairns, saw his sister's ghost at sea, and again, a few nights ago, in his vessel on the Wear. On the latter occasion she promised him a second visit in a short time, when she would reveal something of importance. A rumour went abroad that 12 o'clock on Thursday night was the appointed hour, and long before that time upwards of a thousand persons were con gregated near Sunderland churchyard, to catch a glimpse of the ghost as it wended its way from its own narrow bed to the bedside of the haunted sailor. But although they had the patience to remain at their post until one o'clock in the morning, in the midst of a delightful drizzle, their curiosity went unrewarded. Spirits, perhaps, are not exempt from the roguery of bodies, but take a malicious pleasure in tan talizing poor silly mortals ; or it may be true, as has been gravely affirmed, that the public had mistaken the night,. and that the ghost had haunted the young man in his ham mock in the night of Wednesday, and unfolded to him a tale of horror, which it forbade him to repeat to any living per son, save and except her husband, who is now at sea. But why could not the ghost itself convey the story to the hus band ? Whilehaven Herald. ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—The town of Tavistock has this week been thrown into a state of alarm, in consequence of an attempt upon the life of Mr. Benson. Mr. Benson, it is well known, has been for some time past confined to his room from an attack of small-pox, and it would appear the mis- creant, whoever he may be, the chief actor in the nefarious plot, thought that circumstance likely to aid him in the exe cution of his fiendish intent. It had for some time past been deemed expedient by the medical advisers of Mr. Benson to order an attendant to sleep in the same room with that gen tleman, in order that assistance might immediately be ren dered him in the event of circumstances occurring to require it, and in consequence a man servant connected with Mr. Benson's establishment occupied a bed in his master's sleep ing apartment. On Monday morning last, about six o'clock, the servant having occasion to administer some medicine to his master, crossed from his own bed to that of Mr. Benson, with a light in his hand, and in doing so passed the window; this he had no sooner reached than an explosion, as of the discharge of a fowling-piece in the yard beneath, took place, and several panes of glass were instantaneously broken. An immediate search was made in the room for the missiles which had broken the glass, as it was conjectured they might have passed into the room, and a number of slugs were found, so that no doubt remained of the murderous intention of the party who fired the gun. A reward of £BO has been offered for the discovery of the villain.—Davenport Independent. —•- • - - BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRlAGE.—Elizabeth Robert son, Pomariurn, versus Laurence M`Donald, weaver, Clay holes. This was a case tried before Mr. Sheriff Barclay, last week, in the Small Debt Court, Perth, which, from the situ ation in life of the parties, created not a little interest. The court was crowded to excess by persons from the neighbour hood in which they reside. The damages were laid at the maximum allowed in that court, £8 6s. Bd. From the evi dence, it appeared that the parties had met in a house to gether, along with some of their acquaintances, on a Satur day night some months back, when over a dram, in talking of a sweetheart of the prosecutor's, defender had said if she would take him and desert the sweetheart, he would marry her. Prosecutor accepted the offer, and the parties shook hands over the bargain, which was to be fulfilled immediately. P r osecutor's father and defender then went in search of an elder, when after some difficulty, they found one, and got the marriage contract made out. Immediately after this, how ever, defendant had rued the step he had taken, and refused to fulfil his engagement, and at the same time offered 20a. to be relieved from it; but it was refused, as not equivalent to the injury sustained, and hence the present action. No wit nesses were called on the defender's behalf; but his agent, from the testimony of the prosecutor's evidence, endeavoured to establish, first, that his client was the worse for liquor; secondly, that the whole affair was a joke • and thirdly, that he was inveigled into it by the company they were in. The Sheriff held, that none of these points had been made out; and commented severely upon the plea of a joke being ad vanced in so solemn and important a matter as marriage, and awarded damages, £5 and costs.—Perth Courier. On Wednesday evening last, about seven o'clock, as Mr. Howarth, tutor to the family of James Whitaker, Esq., of Broad Clough, was entering the avenue leading to the resi dence of John Holt, Esq., Stubby Lee, on a visit to his sister, who resides with that gentleman's family as governess, he was fired at by some person unknown, but happily without effect; although the contents of the pistol must have passed within the eighth of an inch of Mr. Howarth's chest, a large slug of lead, about the weight of a ball, such as is generally used in a screw-barrelled pistol, having perforated a music book about an inch thick and strongly bound, which Mr. Howarth happene , -be carrying under his arm, one end of the book projecti“, - time oni, 'aches from his nerson.

There can be little doubt, therefore, that the shot was not designed for Mr. Howarth, hut for Mr. Holt, pro bably by some person who has been dissatisfied with the ad ministration of the' law by that gentleman and his brothe mag i s t ra tes, of whom, it is only jus'ice to say, that th gentlemen of the very highest and most upright obarar Blackburn Standard.

SIR HUGH Gouoii.—The following is from an eye wit ness of the interesting ceremony it describes :—" While at Nankin I went on board the admiral's ship Cornwallis, 72 guns, and witnessed the ceremony of investing Sir Hugh Gough with the insignia of the order of the Grand Cross of the Bath. This highly-interesting and imposing ceremony was performed by Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, K.C.8., by the Queen's special command, and there is but one instance of its having been done in a similar manner before. The Queen's letter, which was read, was the most flattering and complimentary to Sir Hugh Gough that the English language would allow of. It regretted the gallant officer's absence from England, which deprived her Majesty of the pleasure of con ferring it personally ; but strictly charged the admiral to do it in the most marked and public manner possible, to con vince the general of the desire of the Crown to make suitable acknowledgment of his services in China. Royal salutes were fired, the ship full of people in full dress. Prayers were read, and after the ceremony the good old English fashion of eating and drinking took place. The Chinese Tartar General with his staff came on board, but too late." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR RAIL WAY.—The twelfth half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held at Glasgow on Monday last. The re port stated that the passenger traffic had been materially affected by the continued depression in trade, though the traffic in goods and parcels presented a more cheering aspect, as the increase, compared with the corresponding six months of last year, had been £1,347 15s. 7d. The directors have borrowed £61,790 at 44 per cent., and an additional sum of £lB,OOO at 4 per cent., and they had set aside £739 17s. 6d. to go to the contingent fund. This left a sum of £7,812 10s. which enabled the directors to recommend a dividend of 12s. 6d. per share on the 15th March. The Kilmarnock branch, it was expected, would be permanently opened in April. Mr. Smith, from Preston, was then introduced, and submitted a number of interesting statements respecting the propriety of establishing a line of steamers to ply between Ardrossan and Fleetwood. The Earl of Eglinton and other gentlemen strongly recommended the proposal to the share holders. EASTERN COUNTIES' RAILWAY. — On Monday last the opening of this line from Shoreditch to Colchester took place. A. train started at a quarter to ten with those invited to in spect the line. The pace to Romford was pretty good, the station there was reached in 22 minutes. Twenty minutes more were consumed before the train reached Brentwood, when a stoppage of ten minutes took place to arrange some necessary matters before proceeding further. On arriving at the new ground the pace was very slow, and, after passing over a causeway of timber, resembling an enormous scaffold ing, and similar to those on American railroads, on which the rails were laid, the trains came to a stand still in the im mediate neighbourhood of two ragged looking woods, about three miles beyond Brentwood. There they remained stuck fast for about two hours and a half, whilst a number of la bourers were employed to render the rails passable. Gangs of these people passed and repassed the train, carrying ham mers, pieces of wood, rail, &c., and were anxiously asked by those within the carriages what was going on, how long they were to be detained, and other questions. which curiosity, impatience, and alarm suggested. To those inter rogatories no reply was given, and the annoyance was aggravated by the grins and chuckling of the boors at their disaster. Alter some time consumed in this manner, a gen _ tieman, who was understood to be Mr. Hall, informed the company that those who chose to return to London might do so, by getting into the hindmost train; and that those who chose to proceed would be safely brought back from Colchester to London. This announcement induced a large number to leave their seats in the advanced train, and wade through the mud and clay, which was up to their knees, about 300 yards, to the train which was to take them back. About half an hour after the secession of this division of the proprietary, the foremost train began to advance, but in less than five minutes became again stationary, and after some further delay Mr. Hall, who struggled most manfully through a perfect quagmire of clay, informed the whole of the anxious party that the engineer, Mr. Braithwait, would not hold himself responsible under the circumstances for the further progress of the train, and therefore it would return to Lon don with the company. It did accordingly return, and after some further delay, the various visitors and proprietors reached the Shoreditch station by six o'clock. Without giving any opinion with whom the blame rests for this dis• appointment, because at the meeting of the proprietors that subject will be fully discussed, and from the feeling excited by this failure a very strong degree of exasperation exists, we must say that very great blame attaches somewhere, and that the proprietors and those invited were treated in a man ner which deserves the severest reprehension. SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. — The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday last, at the Albion Hotel, Manchester ; John Parker, Esq., in the chair.—The Chairman said that the directory had no longer such difficulties to contend with as they had for a time experienced. Since the last meeting, they had realised a large sum by the re-issue of the forfeited shares; besides which they had obtained £50,000 from the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, and £52,000 from the public on mortgage security. The company were obliged to go to _ . Parliament for an extension of the time for purchasing land, and in this bill power would be obtained to raise a further capital of £600,000, and to limit the number of directors to ten.—M r. James Perry . , of Dublin, read the report of the directors. Since the partial opening of the line, in November, 1841, the gross receipt, principally for passengers, had been, to the 31st December last, £14,065 Os. 2d. ; which, when the ex penses were deducted, would leave a balance in favour of the company of £3,914 ss. lid. Since the first opening to Godley, down to the present day, involving a period of six teen months, although the number of passengers conveyed amounted to 512,276, being 43,275 of the first class, 79,102 of the second class, and 389,899 of the third class, not a single accident had occurred by which injury had been sus tained by any one passenger. Since the last half-yearly meeting contracts on very advantegeous terms had been en tered into for the construction of the Diming Vale Viaduct, the intervening portion of the line from thence to the western face of the Summit Tunnel, and also another portion near the town of Sheffield, and the works comprised in these con tracts were progressing with activity. The operations at the tunnel were extended, so as to insure the comple tion, by the end of the year 1844. of the whole of that stu pendous work, and within the estimated cost. Should no unforeseen difficulty arise, the directors entertained a well grounded expectation that the whole of the railway would be ready for the conveyance of passengers and goods early in 1845. They were happy in being further enabled to state, that the letting of the late contracts fully justified the opinion they had always entertained, that the works would be finished within the sum mentioned in the published estimates by dr. Locke. The projected branch railways to Ashton-under- Lyne and Stalybridge, and also to form a junction with the North Midland Railway, at Barnsley, had been postponed for the present, in consequence of these measures not having met with the support which the directors anticipated. In concluding their report, the directors assured the proprietors that it was their firm determination to conduct the affairs of the company with a due regard to economy and efficiency in every department. The engineer's report was next read, and gave a highly satisfactory account of the progress of the works during the last six months. The report was unanimously adopted; and Messrs. Charles Appleby, James Perry, J. Sidebo►tom, and W. A. Thorneley were re-elected without opposition. On the motion of Mr. John Chapman, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the chairman for his conduct in the chair, and the proceedings then terminated. A noisy and tumultuous meeting of teetotallers took place on Wednesday, at Windsor. Not a few of those present had. evidently been enjoying something stronger than Bohea or Twankgy. The proceedings throughout the evening were a series of rows, fights, and disturbances. The property of the corporation was seriously damaged ; the forms and benches broken, and several chairs, during a ineltre, shivered into a hundred pieces. The police, who were ordered to be present after the first outbreak, ejected several of the most violent. PRIVILEGES OF LAWYERS. — One of the bright particular sages of the extreme gauche of the Edinburgh Council, who deems it his duty to favour his afflicted colleagues with his sentiments on every pint, and whose happy peculiarity it is o render every subject as clear as macadamised mud, emitted the following neat touch at the Council on Tuesday :—" As to the privilege of lawyers," said he, "they are just this— the pawnbrokers pay a license for taking in pledges, and the lawyers just do the same, they pay a license for taking in clients." The Council went into convulsions at the hit, which, it is justice to say, was, however, quite an unconscious one to the utterer. DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.—The Morning Herald of Sa urday last, says, " Some further alterations in the law of debtor and creditor are expected to be made during the present session of Parliament, particularly with reference to insol vency. A very important feature in the new Insolvent Debtors Act was incidently noticed to-day, in a case before the Learned Commissioner Fonblanque, which will perhaps be considered in the contemplated amendment. By the new act a party can file a petition and obtain an interim order, on I which all proceedings against his property and person are stayed. The stoppage is procured on an er parte application, and on its expiration further time could be obtained on the pretence of settling with creditors, by which means a party could obtain two months or more time cessation from all pro ceedings, and then contrive or suffer the application to the court to become vitiated. In a case to-day it was admitted that the applicant had pleaded to an action in order to gain time to get the interim order from the court, and it was added that he was now prepared to give a judgment to the action, having obtained his protection. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN . EXCHANGE,—Tnis DAY (From Messrs. .I? q ,MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) No change has taken place in any of the duties this week. Though the wind has remained in general unfavourable to arrivals, we have a few fresh parcels of Oats, Meal, and Flour in from Ireland, with a moderate quantity of Barley and Malt coastwise ; also, after a long passage of several months, 1,600 qrs. of Wheat from Odessa, and a cargo, recently shipped, from Wolgast, the latter not yet reported : still the supply of any article available for consumption is unim portant, and our millers and dealers, therefore, in the ab sence of a sufficient choice of samples, have held off as much as possible, and continued to purchase to the most limited extent, in the interval between Tuesday last and to-day. In describing the state of the trade at our Corn Exchange to-day, little more is needful than to reiterate the observa tions contained in our circulars of late. Upon a very small number of either town or country millers, invariably exercising an unusual degree of forbear ance, the transactions in Wheat were confined to a few limited parcels for present use, at prices in some cases about equal to those of Tuesday, but more generally at a decline of ld. per 701bs. for all descriptions. English and Irish Flour, attended with a moderate de mand, realised our last quotations ; but foreign, being little noticed, was the turn cheaper. Grinding Barley was nearly without enquiry, but the late arrivals of prime Malting samples, though less sought to-day, having been mostly cleared off previously at 335. to 345. per qr., no change was perceptible. Malt, Beans and Pease, continued to meet an exceedingly dull sal e on th e terms last noted. Oats we r e in some, but not in lively request, and main ained our last currency ; the sale of Oatmeal, however, was excessively dull, and scarcely sustained its former value. ARRIVALS OF CORN.

The _gentlemen had afterwards eaten the fowls to dinner. The Court granted warrants for the immediate apprehension of the parties. Richard Carlisle, the long-notorious blasphemer, whose death we recently mentioned, is reported to have written as follows, respecting another blasphemer who was in prison : " My christianity has led me to visit him in prison, and my passion with him is to convert him from atheism. I find him with a mistaken conceit, that no man has avowed atheism before himself. I have been such a fool before him, and I had before him brought hundreds, perhaps thousands, to the same folly. lam wise and renounce it." FUNERAL OF THE LATE RICHARD CARLILE.—The re mains of this notorious individual were deposited at the Kensal-green Cemetery, London, on Sunday last. At two o'clock in the afternoon a vast number of persons were as sembled in Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, to witness the de prture of the funeral cortege. At three o'clock a hearse and five mourning coaches drove up to the house where the deceased was lying. The funeral procession moved on, and during its progress attracted considerable attention. When the officiating divine, the Rev. Josiah Twigger, arrived at the grave, accompanied by the clerk, one of the deceased's sons addressed tile clergyman as follows :—" Sir, we want no ser vice over the body of our late father; he passed his life in opposition to all priestcraft, and we protest against the ser vice being read." The rev. divine replied—" Sir, I must do my duty." Another son of the deceased here stepped for ward and said—" We have purchased this ground as the resting place of our deceased parent, and I object, with my brothers, to the reading of the funeral service." (Here loud cries of " Hear, hear" were given by the mob assem bled round the grave.) Tile clergyman continued—" I must and will do my duty, and at your peril abide the conse quences that may occur from any opposition to the usual ob servance on such occasions." Another son—" Then, Sir, we will not hear it." (Here the mob cried out, " Yes, yes ! leave the grave : let all the friends of Mr. Carlile go away." At this moment the party assembled quitted the grave, the mourners retired into the coaches, and the clergyman pro ceeded in the most impressive manner to read the service, during which he was frequently interrupted by ribald jests from a few stragglers who had kept at a short distance from the spot. It is due to the sons of the deceased to state, that they gave their opposition in the most respectful tone possi ble, but their example was not imitated by many of the fol lowers of the deceased. After the clergyman had retired, a rush was made to the grave, and a son of the deceased ad- dressed the crowd as follows :—" I beg to state that I, with my family and friends, were opposed to the performance of this service ; we do not require it, and have given every op position in our power to its being done. I thank you all, in the name of my late father, for your attendance here on this occasion." H aving said thus much, he and the followers of the funeral departed. gpOtppmg intrlitgriirt.

Notwith standing the arrivals of beasts from all quarters were not to say great, though they were seasonably numerous, and the attendance of both town and country buyers was rather extensive, we have again to report an excessively dull inquiry for Beef, and though the salesmen submitted to an abatement of from 2d to 4d per slb on the prices noted on this day se'nnight. a large portion of the bullock supply left the market unsold. The demand for Sheep, which was in a very stagnant state—the butchers purchasing with extreme caution—at an abatement, on last week's figures, of from 2d to 4d per slb. We had a fair supply of Calves on the market, which were taken at a decline of quite 4d per 81b. From Ireland, about too large hogs came to hand, while the Pork trade was much depressed, on lower rates of currency, say 2d per 81b. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, MARcu 2, 1843. . . Owing to the continuance of adverse winds for the past week the arrival of all description of agricultural produce is exceedingly unimportant, yet on the face of a very scanty supply of Potatoes into port, prices of all descriptions have remained nominally the same as my last report. The heavy supplies of local growth daily brought forward, both here, and on the markets in the interior. materially checks the operations of our town and retail trade, and country dealers for those offering in dock ; in fact, there appears at present a great falling off in the general consumption of the root. There is no alteration in the value of Sweed Turnips, as will be observed by tie preceeding remarks.

Small as these are generally considered, however, they appear to be fully equal to, or rather, in the present lingering state of the trade, in many instances to exceed the demand ; the millers and dealers, both here and in the neighbouring mar kets, still complaining of diminished consumption and more than usual difficulty in making any effective progress in sales. Thus at our Corn Exchange this morning, Wheat of all de scriptions continued to meet a very slow limited demand from a few needy buyers only, all sorts of Foreign receding Id. to 2d. from the rates of last week, and English as well as Irish, though actually scarce, were the turn cheaper. Flour was in moderate request, prime qualities of Eng lish, Irish, and Foreign, commanding our previous quota tions. Barley, of which a few parcels from the Southern counties are in and near at hand, maintained former prices : and Malt, though not readily saleable, was unaltered in value. Beans and Pease continue in the same dull state as before, and hardly supported our last currency. Oats, of which only one or two lots of good mealing qua lity appeared today, were taken off sparingly, in retail quan tities merely at late prices. Oatmeal was partially rather depressed in value, the best marks of Irish scarcely retain ing, and other kinds offering a little under our last currency.

Beans Oats LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, :`LARCH 2, The demand for Cotton to-day has been only limited, neverthe less the market exhibits a tone of greater firmness than for the last ten days, and prices are without the slightest change. Yesterday 3500 bales were sold, and to-day 3000, 600 of them on speculation ; the quantity offering is barely adequate supply the demand. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, MARCH 1 Our market has been heavy this week; the late London sales have interfered with the demand for Foreign Wools, and nothing of importance has taken in Scotch. A few Cheviots have met with buyers at former rates. Imported this week—Scotch 3 1 . Previously this year—Scotch, 1021 ; Foreign, 948. Total—Scotch, 1052 ; Foreign, 948. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FEE. 27 The supply of Wheat by laud carriage samples was again very small and the condition indifferent. The trade opened very heavily, and, excepting a few selected samples of dry Wheat, must be quoted Is to 2s lower. Foreign sells very slowly, but the same prices are demanded we did not hear of any bonded being sold. Fine selected Barley was in demand at last Monday's prices, other sorts sold slowly. Peas are dull of sale, and Beans are Is cheaper. Oats sold slowly at last week's prices. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, FEBRUARY 24. There was a moderate supply of fresh Grain (some by canal), yet the market ruled exceedingly heavy ; and we have to make a re duction of 6d to 3s on Wheat, and 3d to 6d on Oats. Barley without change ; both Flour and Oatmeal partake of the same dulness ; and on middling qualities, to effect sales, a reduction would have been submitted to, but buyers hold off. White Wheat, 28s to ins; red ditto, 26s to 288; middling and inferior ditto, 22s to 245; Oats, 8s to lOs ; Barley, 118 to 14s ; first Flour, I's 6d to 18s ; second ditto, 14s 6d to 158 ; inferior ditto, 105 to 12s 6d; thirds, 7s to 9s; Oatmeal, ps 6d to 11 s.
