I 600 THE BACHELOR'S LETTER.—" It is now ten round years since I sate myself down at my parsonage, and commenced to preach and to hold examination, to bap tize and bury, and attend to my calling in the power of my mind and well-meaning of my heart, and permitted my house, as well as my kitchen and cellar, &c., to be attended to by any one who for money would be pleased to see after them. My sister once paid a visit to me and my house. Brother!' said she, ' this is going on ill the sugar-box is emptied in two days, and a pound of coffee a-week is not enough ! The potntoes are treated as if they were to rain down from heaven ; but it is no wonder that Madame Oberg's pigs are so fat! The rolls are brought from town !

BOYS' FINE ART DISTRIBUTION (From the Tyne Mercury.) Among the " signs of the times," one of the most pro minent is the rapidly increasing taste of the public for works of art. The rage (it may truly he called such) for illustration is in the ascendant. We have books display ing all that art can do in this way; wood-cut, engraving, lithogrophy, chrorno-lithography, and oil-colour printing, vie with one another to fascinate the eye. Then we have illustrated periodicals of every form, degree of merit, and price, from the Pictorial Times and the Illuminated Ma gazine to the penny publications teeming with wood-cuts that inundate the newsman's counter weekly. Twenty years ago, the single cut in the Mirror did for that peri odical what no literary talent alone would have done. It made it command an extensive sale for a series of years, till a new era commenced in the annals of art—an era that we as philanthropists and social philosophers hail most heartily. We allude to that epoch when art-unions took their rise from the prolific brain of a few benefactors of their kind. Nay, think not we speak unadvisedly; they are benefactors of their kind who turn the current of public taste into that channel which, in the words of the ancient " emollit mores nec sinit esse feros," softens their manners and implants the gentler virtues in their breast. Rut to the purpose : art-unions have unquestionably done immense good, by diffusing through all classes of the com munity a taste for the productions of the brush, the pen cil, and the graver, they have exercised the most health ful patronage on native talent; they have also had a moral influence, that of opening a source of refined enjoyment to many to whom the delights of art were formerly in accessible. THEATRICAL CRITICISM FORTY YEARS AGO.—On the s'h of Octoher, 1805, a revival of Farquhar's comedy, The Constant Couple, was advertised for that evening's representation at Drury-lane Theatre. Late in the after noon h indhills had been circulated, stating that, in con sequenee of the sudden illness of Mr. Elliston, who was to have personated Sir Harry Wildair, the comedy would unavoidably be deferred, and She Stoops to Con quer was then substituted. The following critique (!) ap peared in a journal called the British Neptune " Theatre Royal, Drury-lane. Last night Farquhar's sprightly comedy, The Constant Couple, was most bar baronsly ennui 'red at this theatre. The lively knight was by Mr. Ell,ston reduced to a dull piece of affectation —it was Tom Errand in Beau Clincher's clothes. Clincher was altogether lost in the hands of Bannister—it approached Farquhar as nearly as the frog resembled the ox in the fable. Mss Mello❑ was not thoroughly un pleasant in her representation of Angelica; hut criticism has not language severe enough to deprecate the imperti nence of Barrvmore presuming to put himself forward in the part of Colonel Standard. We were scarcely less off•nded with Dowton's attempt at Alderman Smuoiler it was only not absolutely the worst thing we ever saw." Ellison, Barryrnore, Dowton, and Bannister determined to be revenged, and commenced a prosecution against the old Aeptune, which would inevitably have brought him from his coral palace to the dry floor of the Count of King's Bench, but for the mercy of the very mortals themselves whom he had so deeply injured. The prose cution was staved—a compromise was entered into, the proprietors of the paper paying, of course, all expenses, and a suppleme_ital fifty pounds to the Drury•lane Theatrical F e nd.—Raymond's " Elision Papers" in Ain.s.worth'e Magazine. Now, what has been achieved by association in the case of art-unions, Mr. Boys (so favourably known to the public as one of the most spirited publishers of high class engravings) proposes to do singly. Nay more, he offers the public superior advantages to any they receive from the art-unions, whether British or foreign. lie honestly admits he is induced to do this in self-defence, and for le gitimate purposes of trade: but nevertheless the case is such as he represents it. Each subscriber has the choice. of selection, for the full value of the sum subscribed, from 201 engravings, among which are the universally admired " Bolton Abbey," "The Trial of the Earl of Strafford," " The Canterbury Pilgrims," and many other first rate works. (" The Momentous Question," engraved by Bellin, after a picture by Miss S. Setchell, by the bye, is eminently beautiful.) Then after receiving a good quid pro quo for his money in the shave of one or more splen did engravings, each subscriber of a guinea has one chance out of every twenty of getting a prize varying from £5O to £5OO in value. If this is not inducement to try one's luck, we do not know what can be. The subsetibers risk nothing but the mere fact of laying out well their guinea, and they have one-twentieth chance of getting 50 or 500 times the value of their money, inclusively. We under stand Mr. Boys has met with such extensive public pa tronage, that the drawing of the prizes will take place next month, (October). We wish him every p^ssible success in his public spirited enterprise, and we recommend all our readers, whether rich or poor, to take a ticket in this unique lottery, where there can be no less and there may be immense gain. We proposed glancing at the merits of some of the principal works in the list of prizes and engravings for selection by subscribers ; but as ample and accurate details may be gleaned from Mr. Boys' Prospectus, we beg leave to refer our readers to that source for information. IRISH SOLDIERS IN THE LEGION.—There are no where to be found more amusing fellows than Irish sol diers, frill as they all are of quaint humour and smart rep-rtee. " I have heard many droll traits and stories of the Irish soldiery under Evans. On the 16th of Nlarch, alien the Queen's troops were in full retreat, my squadron was formed up on the road to Hernani, occasi onally charging down when the opportunity presented ie order to cover the retreat. Up come an Irish iefattrti soldier, who, although following the example ,pretty gear rally given hint, and retreating, still seemed to do is a contreeceur, and kept up a sort of running fight on his own ..count, perfectly independent of anybody else the writ Id. The fellow was steaming from what appear ed he a mixture of heat and fury, and his face was as red as Dan o•Cerinell's after a few hours' speech to the fii,est i.isanthry. His lips and cheeks were black with biting c etridges. 'Be ! said he, thumping his no ,-,: e r--hritt down on the ground, and wiping his face w ith a rag he took out of his shako, Be —! and they call Carlos a pretiiitlher ! What a devil of a fellow he'd he if he Was in airnest !' When Iron was taken, plunder as. the order of the day, and a staff officer told me that he met a sootier of an Irish regiment with a case r.f bearitifrit Geneva watches in his hand. Knowing that the fellow would either get drunk and lose them, or sell them at five francs a piece to the French officers and others whom curiosity 'brought in crowds across the Bidassoa, my friend thought be might as well have one of the toa e-krone rs. Iloilo ! my man,' cried he, 'give me a w:4(11, a i d here's a four-dollar bit for you.' • And is it 10.0. dellars ye're afther giving me?' said Paddy. 'Ala! then. sec hr hour, take a handful of em.' And he held up the box. The r.fficer laughed and took one; but he derived little benefit from his bargain, for bivouacking a night or two after some marauder stole it out of the breast of hi, jacket chile he slept ."—Nets Monthly Magazine. ANFCDOTE OF A GOOSE.—An extraordinary instance of a goose attaching itself to a man, " following him about like e doe," was inserted in several journals last week, copied +rem a country paper, and as an accompaniment to it an amusing account of a Canada goose conceiving a violent attachment to a dog is related in Sharpe's copy of " Withighby's Ornithology." He says—" The following account r.f a Canada goose is so extraordinary, that I am aware it would with difficulty gain credit, were not a whole parish able to vouch for the truth of it. The Ca nada geese are not fond of a poultry-yard, but are rather of a rambling disposition. One of these birds, however, Was observed to attach itself, in the strongest and most affectionate mariner, to the house dog, and would never quit the ketie,. except for the purpose of feeding, when it would returr: gain immediately. It always sat by the dog. hut never presumed to go into the kennel, except in rainy weather. Whenever the dog barked, the goose would cackle and run at the person she supposed the dog barked at, and try to bite him by the heels. Sometimes she would attempt to feed with the dog; hut this the dog, who treated his faithful companion rather with indiffer ence, would not permit. This bird would not go to roost with the others at night, unless driven by main force ; and when in the morning she was turned into the field she would never stir from the yard gate, but sit there the whole day, in sight of the dog. At last, orders were given that she should be no longer molested, but suffered to accompany it as she liked ; being thus left to herself, she ran about the yard w i t h hi m all the night ; and what is par , ti itilarlv extraordinary, and can be attested by th e • whole parish, whenever the dog went out of the yard and ran into the village, the goose always accompanied him, contriving to keep up with him by the assistance of her wings ; and in this way of running and flying, followed him all over the parish. This extraordinary affection of the goose towards the dog, which continued to his death, two years after it was first observed,llis suppdosheedrtforohianvea originated from his having accidentally,shailvee fox in the very moment of distress. IA • the dog was ill, the goose never quitted him day or night, not even to feed ; and it was apprehended she would have been starved to death, had not orders been given for a pan of corn to be set every day close to the kennel. At this time the goose generally sat in the kennel, and would not suffer any one to approach it, except the person who brought the dog's or her own food. The end of this faithful bird was melancholy ; for when the dog died she would still keep possession of the kennel; and a new house-dog being introduced, which in size and colour resembled that lately lost, the poor goose was unhappily deceived, and going into the kennel as usual, the new inhabitant seized her by the throat, and kiUed her." CUSTOMS ORDERS.—By a Board's Minute on the Bth instant, Workington, in the port of Whitehaven, has been approved for the bonding of all foreign goods. By a Board's Minute of the Sth instant, work boxes, tables, &c., of lacquered ware, and fitted up with other materials, in future to be charged the duty of 15 per cent. only, un less the fittings or materials belonging thereto (not being japanned or lacquered ware) should exceed the value of the urticle as a work box, worktable, &c., with , ut Quch fittings or materials, in which case the duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem, to be charged upon the whole, as goods ma nufactured and not otherwise rated. By a Board's Minute of the 13th instant, officers are directed not to act upon any request for the shipment of goods, duty free, as stores, until the usual bond shall have been first given. - - MURDER OF A HUSBAND BY HIS WlFE.—(in Mon day, the 18th instant, the neighbourhood of Dilton's Marsh, Westbury, Wilts, w a s th e scene o f muc h excite ment, occasioned by a report that Robert Cuzner, a weaver, who resided there, had been killed by his wife. On the evening abovetnentioned a dispute had arisen between them, and he was shut out of the house by his wife. He afterwards pressed in, and on his entering, the door was closed. Soon after the neighbours heard a noise, as if they were struggling and pushing each other about their room. The wife admits that she pushed him down, though she declares she had no intention of taking away his life. After a patient investigation, the magis trates came to the decision of committing the wife to the New Prison, Devizes, to take her trial at the next assizes for manslaughter. It is remarkable that Edward Cuzner, brother of the deceased, died about two hours after the above unfortunate occurrence, his death having, it is believed, been accelerated by excitement, arising from the intelligence having been suddenly communicated to him.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE RAILWAY TIMES Sir,—Each half year, as it passes away, makes it more and more clear that the present system cf railway manage ment will, in the end, leave the poor shareholders in most Railway Companies (as is the case in Turnpike Trusts) but a merely nominal interest. Less and less will the dividends become, t ll at last railway officials will eat up everything—become, in fact, the only parties beneficially interested in the lines. It may be said that the Directors of Railway Companies have themselves a large stake in the concerns, and will therefore do their best to prevent this. But surely though this was once the case, it is not so now, most of them having so extensively sold their shares that the good of the several undertakings is quite a minor consideration, when extensive patronage, and place for needy sons, nephews, friends, and relatives, are in view. In proof of this we see the Directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow line holding the very least possible interest in the concern —scarcely, I believe, £15,000 worth of shares amongst them, though the capital of the Company is £1.500,000 or more ! And this very company the other day, at their half-yearly meeting, were compelled to reduce their divi dend to 2} per cent. for the half year, owing to 4 consid erably-increased expenditure ; and this increa ,, e in despite of an enormous fall in the price of every kind of material used on the line, and in supplying which this expenditure arises—say in the price of coal, coke, iron-work, wood, oil, tallow. grease, labourer s' wages, horse work, &c. &c. I will venture to assert that seeing the very great fall in the price of the materials used in the needful repairs of railway lines, as abovesaid, a well-organised Committee of shareholders, sitting on the expenditure of this very Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, would at least save half. yearly the sum of £5,000; not a little of which, in a reduction of the salaries of the officials themselves, and their underlings, especially as the necessaries, and even luxuries, of life are now so much lower stian they used to be—whilst this saving of £5,000 half-yearly, or £lO,OOO per annum, would add more than 1 per cent. to the divi dend, and of course cause the shares in this railway to rise £2O each, if not more, above their present value. You will remember that, owing to your own great la bours chiefly, railway shareholders did about a year ago manage to get themselves into a passion, and were then evidently bent on bringing about the needful economy in railway management. Immense exertions were made on all sides, and the Directors appeared as if about to have the worst of it ; but unfortunately you yourself, apparently, became alarmed at the fury of the storm you had raised up and the direction it was taking, and in consequence threw cold water on all further exertions, and so effectu ally lulled the storm that nothing was done afterwards save some extensive savings in the expenditure of the North Midland line. Will you allow me to suggest that your utmost exertions are again imperatively required, or the railway system must go to nothing. The traffic cannot be pushed further; nor will there ever be any effective economy, the only re source of the poor shareholder. until the Directors are compelled to adopt it " BY FORCE OF ARMS." I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. A SHAREHOLDER SINCE 1833. THE CORNISH RAILWAY.—The subscriptions towards this all-important line of communication with every part of Great Britain amount to £44,500, of which £24,150 has been entered on account of Falmouth. In the Dublin and Kingston Railway, passengers are carried in one of the trains at the rate of half a farthing per mile. Before they reduced their fares, shares were at 18 per cent. discount : now they hear 7 per cent. premium, and the passengers increased 400,009. A new line is now in contemclation from the terminus of the Taff Vale Railway to pass through Wales, cross the Severn, and unite, on its extension to Worcester, with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. The estimated cost is £l.soo,ooo.—.Railway Times. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—On Thursday week an inquest was held at Sapperton, Gloucestershire, on the bodies of George Freeman, aged 26, and Henry Stokes, aged 33, who were killed the previous day, in the open cutting of the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway, on Frampton Common. ' The Chester Courant says, in reference to the contem plated Chester and Holyhead Railway, "Thereis now,we believe, no doubt that this important undertaking will be carried into effect. The necessary notices, preparatory to the application for an act of parliament during the next session, are in the course of delivery along the intended line. The Carlisle Patriot says, that renewed efforts are about to he made to secure the formation of a line of rail road, between Lancaster and Glasgow, yid Carlisle. The associated railway companies, who came forward with so much liberality when the project was moored last year, are still prepared to promote the work by the liberal sub scription of hall a million of money. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—We are pleased to observe that the traffic on this line is increasing. In the week ending the 10th instant, 20,311 persons were carried. (being an increase of aearly 1000 on the preceding week, which exceeded its predecessor by 1300,) and the earnings, including the charges for goods, were £5,558 lls. 7d. ; being an increase of upwards of £4OO upon the week eliding the 3d instant, and an excess, as compared with the corresponding week last year, of not less than I,33o.—Brighlon Guardian. The Journal des Chemins defer says :—" An inventor announces that he has found a composition which will reduce to a mere trifle the price of rails for railroads. He replaces the iron by a combination of Kaolin clay (that used for making pottery and china) with a certain metallic substance, which gives a body so hard as to wear out iron, without being injured by it in turn. 100 kilo grammes of this substance, would cost less than 15 francs, and would furnish 21 metres of rail. The Kaolin clay is abundant in France, and the valley of the Somme con tains immense quantities of it." THE GREAT RAILWAY STATION, MANCHESTER.— This splendid and extraordinary work, which will unite the Liverpool and Manchester and Manchester and Leeds lines at Hunt's Bank, is progressing most satisfactorily ; the junction of the latter is fast approaching completion,', more than one half of the rails being already laid ; this junction line is an inclined plane, along which the carria ges will be drawn by a double stationary engine of 240- horse power, working an endless wire rope. The station, including the sliding lines, turn-tables, arrival and depar ture platform, &c., will be the most extensive in the kingdom, surpassing the justly celebrated one at Derby ; it will include a space of 852 feet in length, by an average breadth of 130 feet, having five main lines of rails ; 700 feet of this length will be covered with an iron roof in three compartments, of 59 feet 6 inches, 28 feet, and 26 feet 3 inches span respectively, supported by elegant iron columns. The station-house containing the waiting and refreshment rooms, booking-offices, &c., all erected in the most convenient and extensive manner. is a hand some building in the Roman Doric style, 266 feet long and 36 wide, raised one story from the ground, and sur mounted by a parapet ; the refreshment saloon is Ughted by elegant circular headed windows with stone pilasters and dressings, and surmounted by an elegant cornice, in the centre of which is to b e pl a c e d a Candsome clock. The entrance to the booking offices are under a covered way supported by brackets, 9 feet 6 inches long, which, though perhaps not equal in architectural beauty to pil lars surpass them in convenience, as it leaves a clear space for vehicles and foot passengers, and will be unexampled for general convenience. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On W e d nes d ay l ast t he special general meeting of the proprietors of this com pany, for the purpose of determining on the amalgama tion of the North Midland, the Midland Counties, and Birmingham and Derby railway compan i es, b e i ng t h e con chiding meeting, was held at the railway station, Derby, and vas attended by nearly 200 persons.—Mr. T. E. Dicey, the chairman of the board of directors, took the chair at one o'clock, and laid before the meeting the plan agreed to at the special general meetings of the North Midland and Birmingham and Derby Railways, on Mon day and Wednesday last, contending that it would be in expedient to adopt the proposition, and that the contest which had so long existed between the Birmingham and Derby and Midland Counties companies ought to be amicably settled before any such negotiations were enter tained.—Mr. John Ellis, a director, advocated the pro position for an amalgamation, and proposed a substantive resolution to that effect, in which he was seconded and supported by Mr. Lawrence Heyworth, of Liverpool, Mr. Waddingham, Mr. Richardson, and other large pro prietors from the north.—Sir Robert Morley and Mr. Alderman Hudson also urged on the proprietors the adop tion of the proposed agreement. The discussion was pro longed until past four o'clock, when a division took place, and afterwards at the demand of the chairman, a scr ut i ny was had. In the first instance the proposition was adopted by a majority of 115 to 11, and in the scrutiny, by a ma jority of 1,752 votes (including proxies) to 498. Mr. Lawrence Heyworth protested strongly against the chair man's proceedings in demanding a poll, and declared his conviction that it arJse from a factious opposition, an d that he had disgraced himself in the opinion of the meet ing. A motion requesting him to leave the chair was pro posed, and was productive of great noise and clamo u r. The result of the scrutiny was formally declared to be largely in favour of the proposed amalgamation, which it was understood would be carried into effect without delay, and that the three companies would be henceforth incor porated and known under the name of the " Great Mid land Railway." THE INDIA MAIL.—A meeting of merchants and others was held in London, on Tuesday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of accelerating the communication with India. Air. J. A. Smith, the chairman, explained tothor present, that all that w as ex pected was an expression In general terms i n f avour o f improved communication , without ref erence t o any com pany whatever. Consistently with this view, the resolu tions which he read to the meeting were prepared so as to show what the public desired, and to leave entirely to the Government the manner and the means to be be adopted in carrying their wishes out. They were to the effect that ,the present arrangement was defective in two particular., as the mails from Bombay seldom reached England in time for the merchants to answer their letters, and th a t a similar inconvenience attended the arrival of the outward mails at Calcutta ; that any plan that could be adopted to remove these defects by accelerating the communication between the two countries would be of the greatest nation al benefit ; that memorials on the subject should be ad dressed to the East India Company, and copies sent to the Government ; and that to manage and watch over the matter a committee should be appointed. The resolutions were passed almost unanimously, and the committee was I named, with the understanding that it should calla public meeting on the Ist of December. rum LIVERPOOL .TANDARD Oxen and Month ending Bulls. sth Frbruary.... 125 sth March sth April sth Niay. sth Juni-e sth July .. THE CORN TRADE Hutt,.—We understand that the duty of 14s. per quar ter has been paid on about 60,000 quarters of wheat at this port.—Hull Packet. The duty on the importation of Foreign Wheat last week advanced to 17s. per quarter, at which rate it is expected the more recent arrivals will be taken one of bond for home consumption. NEWCASTLE.—Friday the large sum of £40,000 was paid at the Cunstom-house in Newcastle, for duty on corn, and on the two preceedine days £13,000 was paid. making £53,000 ; one house alone paid £13,000. The duty was 14s. per puarter. LEITH.—On Thursday the holders took the alarm, and commenced clearing from bond; and before three o'clock on that day £36,000 of duties were paid. Friday they were equally busy at the Custom-house paying duties, a.n:l there seems no falling off in the importations, 10,000 quarters being entered in two days.—Edinburgh Evening Post. GLASGOR.—Subsequent to Friday last, the duty on foreign wheat advanced from 14s. to 15s. per quarter; but previous to that day a very large quantity—in fact, the •otal amount remaining—was liberated at this port at the low duty. The amount upon which duty was paid at our custom-house was 19,331 quarters of wheat, and 2,327 quarters of barley. A similar course on the part of the holders of foreign grain would be followed all over the country, and as the imports yet to come are likely to be thrown on the market, so long as the duty does notexceed 175., it is computed by some journals that the total amount liberated will ere long amount to 700,000 or 800,000 quar ters, and reinforce the Exchequer to the extent of more than half a million sterling. This estimate may be ex aggerated, but certain it is that many of the speculators o.i a bad harvest have burnt their fingers severely.—Glas gow Mail. INCREASE Or WHEAT.—In July, 1842, Mr. A. Palmer, of Cheaut, Surrey. but one grain of wheat in a common garden -pot. In August the same was divided into four plants, which in three weeks were again divided into twelve plants. In September these twelve plants were divided into thirty-two, which in November were divided into fifty plants, and then placed in open ground. In July. 1843, 12 of the plants failed, but the remaining thirty-eight were healthy. On the 19th of August they were cut down, and counted 1,972 stems, with an average of 50 grams to a stem, giving an increase of 98,600! AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.—" We cannot deny," says the National, " whatever be the causes which para lyse the progress of our agriculture, that our produce is much inferior to that of the English. The following is a comparison of the agricultural produce raised by 1,000 families in France and in England:— In England. In France. Difference. Horses.... 273 Oxen .... 1,230 20 3 Six times less. Sheep .... 11,000 Corn 56,000 hectolitt es 40,000 hectolitres. In France it is calculated, that on every thousand square yards of ground there are 33 cultivators—in England only 28. Our agricultural produce ought, therefore, to be at least equal to that of England, and our inferiority conse quently proves the want of skill amongst the agricultu rists." THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FARMERS (From the Quarterly Review.) The corn-law and tariff of last year were organic mea sures, whose operations can only be tested by experience ; and we do not supuose that any man, except an Anti corn-law Leaguer, would have wished to have seen a new experiment on those great interests. As far as our mate rials for judgment extend, we find that the advantages anticipated from those measures are fully confirmed; bread and all other kinds of provisions have been lowered, and remain at moderate prices—exactly at the present moment those of 1835—and that without any decrease, but, on the contrary, with in some instances an increase of protection to the farmer. For instance, it will he seen by reference to the tables in our 70th vol. p. 522, that the importation of foreign wheat in the year 1839 was 2,702,848 quarters—and that the protection to the farmer in the shape of the net duties on that importation was £670,034, or about 4s. 11d. the quarter—whereas in the last year, ending the sth July, 1813, under the new corn bill, we find that the importation has been nearly the same, 2,695,281 quarters; while the protection in the shape of duty has been no less than £1,200,000, varying from Bs. to 20s. per quarter—and affording, on the ave rage, double the former protection ; and in the year 1841, the year immediately before the operation of the new law, on an importation of 2,393,061 quarters, the protection in the shape of duty had been only 3s. sd. per quarter. It is true that the home prices have been lower in the present year, but that is the inevitable and—whatever partial inconvenience it may operate—the happy result of a good harvest; and it is clear that they would have been still lower but for the additional protection afforded, when most needed, by the new corn-hill. The prices too are positively higher, and relatively much higher, than in 1833-4-5 and 6 ; and let us add—no inconsiderable fea ture in this satisfactory retrospect—that upwards of £1,200,000 have been paid into a very needy exchequer. Let us now turn to the tariff. Can we recollect with out a smile what a bugbear the admission of live cattle was this time last year ?—can we recollect without pity the panic of so many farmers who sacrificed their stock under the terror of foreign inva-ion ? It is really worth while to preserve a record of the real effect of this for►ni dable aggression on the agricultural interests.

In addition to this account of live stock, let us see what salted provisions were imported in the same period. An account of Foreign Salted Provisions imported in each of the first six months of 1813 : Dutypaid Month ending Beef, cwt. Pork, cwt. Hams, cwt. thereon. sth February.. sth March lO2 219 96 251 sth April . 5 , h May.. sth June ........ 32 43 519 425 sth July. 24 680 571 745 2191 £2698 And we subjoin a comparative account of the whole importation of salted provisions in the year 1841, before the tariff, and in the year 1842: Imported Beef, cwt. Pork, cwt. Hams, cwt. Total, cwt. In 1841 .... 42,960 45,319 5,078 93,357 In 1812 29,990 54,163 7,8-12 91,925 Now is it possible, in the face of these accounts, to pretend that the tariff has done any serious injury, or in deed any at all, to the English or Irish agriculturist? We therefore entreat our agricultural friends to consi der this remarkable evidence as to the real effect of the most important and most litigated measures of last year, and to do the ministers—and us for our humble share in the defence of the ministers—the justice to recollect that these are exactly the results which they announced, and which we anticipated; namely, that the tariff might tend to regulate markets, and to lower prices to the poor con sumer, without doing any essential injure to the borne producer. We ask them, furtl er, to apply this experi ence to the bugbears of the present year—Canadian flour and Nova Scotian wheat -which we ate satisfied are about as formidable as the beef of Spain and the mutton of Belgium. BANKING INTELLIGENCE. CARLISLE BANK.—Mr. John Brown late manager of the Carlisle city and district hank, has, according to a no tice issued by the directors, " absented himself from the bank under circumstances which have excited suspicions that he will not return." The directors say, they have examined his accounts. &i•. and " have found everything correct, with *he at: gle exception that Mr. Brown's own cash account has been overdrawn to :he amount of X 2,554 9s. 3d. which sum, however, is considerably within the amount of his securities in the possession of the directors." A BAD SPECULATION.—We understand that amongst the advances made by the joint-stock bank which has just exploded in the Isle of Man, was one of £lO,OOO to no less a personage than Don Carlos, of Spain, made at the time when his army was starting from the Basque Provinces for Madrid, anti which was to have been repaid tenfold when he arrived there. Unluckily, both for Don and the bank, he was stopped on the way by Espartero, in consequence of which he lost his chance of the crown, and the bank lost both its principal and interest. We have heard that the sailing of the Spanish Armada was retarded by the refusal of the bankers of Genoa to make certain advances to the government of Spain ; but we cer tainly were not aware u ail very recently that the fate of the Spanish monarchy had been so nearly decided by a joint-stock bank in the Isle of Man. BANK Olr ENGLAND.—On Thursday a quarterly gene ral meeting of the proprietors of bank stock was held in the bank parlour, for the purpose of declaring a dividend for the half-year ending on the 10th of October next ; W. Cotton, Esq., governor, iti the chair.—The Governor said the directors had resolved upon declaring a dividend of 3i per cent. interest and profit for the half-year ending on the 10th of October next, deducting 7d in the pound on account of the income tax. Ile had also to state that the court of directors, in order to enable them to declare this dividend, had taken from the " rest" the sum of £7,167 17s. lid , the accounts being made up to the 10th of October. £5,1164 had been taken from the " rest" in order to make up the dividend of the last half year, which, added to the amount taken to make up the present divi dend, made the total amount taken from the rest, during the present year, £13,032 9s. 11d. In the course of the proceedings the Governor said that in consequence of a communication, which the directors had received from her majesty's government, they had relieved 10,000 accoun t s from the pay men t of the tax, without giving the parties the trouble of making any application to the authorities on the subject.—Mr. Thompson inquired whether the batik had sustained any considerable losses by the branch banks within the last six months ? The governor replied that he was not aware of any.—ln answer to a question after paying th e l ast di v i dend, was from a proprietor, the Governor stat e d th a t t h e amount of the " rest," £3,177,737: and it would be, after payment of the present dividend, £3,170,570.—A dividend of 3-4 per cent was then declared, and the Governor stated that the dividend warrants would be delivered and payable on Wednesday, the 10th of October next.

TAE-PEACE AND PING—PLENTY. IT is with the above appropriate characters—the Eng lish signification of which is " Peace and Plenty," that CAPT. PI DDI NG'S Chinese corre,ponderit heads his last communication from Fo-kein. " He•tven," he adds, " approving, has rained down blessings on the Central Nation. In the same Season, Peace is proclaimed, and Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4418," (A. D. 1811,) " when the Earth was revivified by the broom tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality; whilst the plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf. •flius has nature conspired with the gods to make man happy." The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS, just received, realises all that he anticipated from the above communication. Their quality is most assuredly the finest he has known. Their abundance—with a remis sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to reduce the price below what they have ever before been charged. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is accordingly REDUCED from Ss. 6d. the Catty Package to 6s. the Pound Package. His SMALL LEAF GUN POWDER is REDUCED from Twelve Shillings the Catty Package to Ss. 6d. the Pound Package. The Signature of the Sole Importer, " Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING," Hon.
