oottn). DINGLE MISSION. (For the Liverpool Standard.) " Posthabni tarnen illoram mea sada, ludo." Dear Mr. Editor—pray do you know it? Your correspondent is a would-be-poet : (Methinks I hear you utter, in surprise, Unconscous bliss—'tis folly to be wise!) But, if you think this question out of season, Don't take my word—l'll give you rhyme and reason. Once on a time, a matter o' fact-fellow Was ask'd could he play the violincello ? He, with extreme simplicity, replied, He did not know, for he had never tried! As such, would I invoke your tender mercies, And simply ask you—do you call mine verses ? Let this remark anticipate your rage,— " My first appearance upon any stage !" The last, and these, the offspring of a night, For, " nine" to one, poor " Smarms" took to flight ! As metal they would test with aqua.fortis, When anxious to discover " of what sort 'tis ; These, I submit then, thus, to your acumen, For well I am persuaded there are few men Who have more skill (your choice selections chew it) At once to say what constitutes a poet ? To make a poet would exceed your wit, sir ; We know—" Poeta nascitur, non fit," sir. Say not I'm such, if such I've not been born; Leave to oblivion—lift me not to scorn ! When certain plants are on the surface found, Miners can tell what ore is underground : So you, dear sir, have had enough of herbage— Say, underneath, lies poesy or verbiage I Don't be deceived, if they at first should glitter: Fruit may look sweet, yet taste extremely bitter ; Silver and lead both shine when they are new, Alike in lustre and alike in hue ; Bat should lead dare the silver counterfeit, The sound will tell when on the counter hit, (Like Sisera's head :) deceit won't long prevail, For down descends the hammer and the nail! A truce to jokes : let sober sense be mine, (Your oatience, sir, I fear 's on the decline.) When I set out, 1 promised rhyme and reason — For this I'll choose a more convenient season ; But, as salvation can't be thus postponed, Reason (to think so) should be first disowned. Oh that I could her blessed truths disperse, Alike important or in prose or verse : (Truths may be more attractive, when in rhyme,— Appeal to chroniclers of olden tigne ;) For memory, thus, will take a sffonger hold, And thonghts seem new, which would in prose seem old. " Pity religion has so seldom found "A skilful guide into poetic ground; " The flowers would spring where'er she deign'd to stray, " And every muse attend her on her way. " 'Twere new, indeed, to see a bard all tire, " Tonch'd with a coal from Heav'n, assume the lyre, " And tell the world, still kindling as he sung, " With more than mortal music on his tongue, " That He who died below, and reigns above, " Inspires the song—and that His name is Love." Thus sang sweet Cowper, be his end our own ! Checker'd his life—he died without a groan : He felt the rod was in a Father's hand • He's now transplanted to " the better land!" " This elegant rose," tho' once " dripping and drown'd," Like the " plant of renown." in this valley of tears, Like the sweet " Rose of Sharon," whom thorns once crown'd, Now in Paradise blooms thro' eternity's years. Would he'd let fall his mantle with his pain, Left an Elisha to follow up his strain ; " A double portion of his Spirit" own, To chant the glories of Emanuel's throne ! But God can raise a poet or a sage ; He is not limited to time or age ; Can bless the puny efforts of a child, Yes, when upon those sforts He has smiled. When by the pillars of the Truth we hold, Not to pull down, as Sampson did of old, Not to make void what Heav'n bath said should stand, The laws of our God, and the laws of our land, Quail not at would-be mismemberers of the realm, We at the pumps, and Jesus at the helm! " When nations are to perish in their sins, " 'Tis in the Church the leprosy begins : " Then Truth is hush'd that Heresy may preach, " And all is trash which reason cannot reach." Woe to the shepherds* who themselves have fed, And starve the flocks for which their Saviour bled ; Whose coffers fill, wherewith their dupes', decreased ; Clothed with the wool of which their sheep are fleeced! Those who are fed and those whojeed ye is this to execute your Master's will? Thrice happy England ! may you never know One half the errors which from Popery flow, Which drags the pillow from the dying head, (But he had " Jesus' bosom" in its stead !) You little know what popish bigots tell Of fancied virtues in their " hallow'd well." " Wells of Salvation" they have never known, 'Tis those they worship, but let these alone Adopt glass beads, (and, by their priests' advice,) Reject, alas ! " The Pearl of great price !" Assert Christ's ladder never never makes us rise, The Virgin's (only) leads us to the skies ! Oh ! go to Dingle,t look at popery there, Assist the efforts of the zealous " Gayer ;" Unite your prayers, and join him (purse in hand,) To drive the darkness from your sister-land ! Snatch'd, once, like " Brands," from Satan's quenchless flame, Shine, now, like " Beacons"—shout Messiah's name ! But I'm prolix, when I should be concise, Candidly, kind sir, give me your advice ; May I try verse, or must I keep to prose, This is my question, and with this I close ? Henceforth, pursuits more sacred claim my time, And (tho' reluctant) now take leave of rhyme : Awhile adieu, friends Addison and Lace, I'll leave to others to supply my place ; In you I trust, to you consign my lays, Oh ! do not flatter, if you cannot praise : Tho' praise (unsanctifled) may cause abuse, Our (highest) honour is " to be of use." * Ezekiel xxxiv. t DINGLE, in the county of Kerry, in Ireland, is situate at the extremity of a peninsula running out for about 40 miles into the sea. In the year 1641, most of the neighbouring protestant places of worship were by the papists razed to the ground. So recently as seven years since there was only one superannuated clergyman to conduct the duty of 24 parishes. comprising by admeasurement a distance of 40 miles. Since then, Eight Hundred Romanist have renounced the errors of Romanism for the truths of Protestantism, the truths of the Bible, the truths of the Reformation. In this retired locality popery has unmasked some of her deeds of darkness, in a pamphlet entitled " The glories of the Virgin Mary !" In which the word of God is declared to have been concocted by Luther, and through the instrumentality of diabolical agency! It recounts a vision of a blood-red ladder of Christ, and (in juxta position) one of snowy whiteness, appropriated to the Virgin •, on the former are represented persons stopped, at the gate of heaven, and compelled (for admission) to de scend this and to ascend the other' We have recently beard of " Jacob's famed ladder," but this goes a few steps farther than even " Toledo's" itself, and shall we take " no steps" to REMOVE IT. This is tg• summary (the mummery) to which protestant England—you contribute £30,000 annually —in supporting Maynooth. If we tamely look on and say " leave her alone," this ladder, with a few additional rungs, wiil soon mount from the Pope's mitre to the British crown. " Keen are (our) pangs, but keener , far to feel, (We) nurse the pinion which impels the steel." Arouse thee Britain (" Great" Britain,) cease thy dalliance in this lap of Delilah, ere you be shorn of your strength. "Awake, arise ! or be (for ever) fallen!" THE FIRST. BY FRANCES BROWN. The first, the first !—oh ! not like it Our after years can bring. For summer bath no flowers so sweet As those of early spring. The earliest storm that strips the tree Still wildest seems and worst, Whate'er bath been again may be, But never as at first. For many a bitter blast may blow O'er life's uncertain wave, And many a thorny thicket grow Between us and the grave ; But darker still the spot appears Where thunder-clouds have burst Upon our green unblighted years— No grief is like the first. Our first-born joy,—perchance 'twas vain, Yet that brief lightning o'er, The heart, indeed, may hope again, But can rejoice no more. Life bath no glory to bestow Like it—unfallen, uncursed ; There may be many an after glow, But nothing like the first. The rays of hope may light us on Through manhood's toil and strife, But never can they shine as shone The morning stars of life; Though bright as summer's rosy wreath. Though long and fondly nursed, Yet still they want the fearless faith Of those that blest us first. Its first love, deep in memory The heart for ever bears ; For that was early given and free— Life's wheat without the tares, It may be death bath buried deep, It may be faith hath cursed : But yet no later love can keep The greenness of the first. And thus, whate'er our onward way, The lights or shadows east upon the dawning of our day Are with us to the last. But ah ! the morning breaks no more On us as once it burst. For future springs can first.ner restore freshness of the In any adversity th at ha pp ens to us in the wo rld, we ought to consider that misery an d affliction are not less natural than snow and hail, storm and tem p est ; and that it we re as rea sonable to hope for a year wit hout winter, as fora life with. out trouble. CHINESE KITE-FLYING.—Of out-door games among the Chinese, kite flying is the most popular. In this the celes tials excel ; they show their superiority as well in the curious construction of their kites, as in the height to which they make them mount. By means of round boles, supplied with vibrating cords, their kites are made to produce a loud hum ming noise, like that of a top. The ninth day of the moon is a holiday especially devoted to this national pastime, on which day numbers may be seen repairing to the hills for the purpose of kite-flying. PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY. — What becomes of all the p us? says a paper involving some singular points of manu facturing economy. It appears from Professor Farrington that 20,000,000 pins are daily manufactured in this country. These get into general circulation, and, after a time, entirely disappear ; but the remarkable fact is, that, like the swallows. nobody knows where they go to. It is proved that, were it possible to recall these lost articles, a quantity might be col lected sufficient to build the projected footbridge at Hunger ford-market, and the residue might be cast into one enormous pin, which should be erected as a column in any part of Lon don best suited for its elevation ; and to be called Victoria's Pin, in opposition to Cleopatra's Needle at Alexandria. There would be a winding staircase in the interior, with a saloon in its head ; and it might serve as a landmark, in stormy weather, for the fourpenny steam-boats plying be twe all and Londmi=bridge.—p ww ,t; 0.4 titi-IAZI;I:R -rn a sr Zn g NINCELLANEOUS. TULIPONIANIA.—The sum of £640 has been lately given for the bulb of a new tulip, called the " Citadel of Antwerp." There was a smart fall of snow in the neighbourhood of our city on the night of Monday last.--Bath Chronicle. The subscription for the wife and family or the late Dr. Meginn has realised £l,OOO. Major-General Nott has been appointed to the lucrative post of President at Lucknow, vacant by the resignation of Lieutenant-Colonel Lowe. The Staffordshire magistrates, on the motion of Lord San don, have resolved to establish a rural police, the estimated cost of which is £9,240 per annum. Margaret Prest, the unfortunate woman who attempted to poison herself and children, about a fortnight since, at Stockton, has been sent to the Asylum at Gateshead. Admiral,-Sir E. Codrington will strike his flag as Com mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, on the Bth or 10th Dec., and will be succeeded by Admiral Sir C. Rowey. A strict investigation is beinc , made by Government into the Custom House frauds. A b committee is appointed, at the head of which is Lord Granville Somerset. The Carlsruche Gazette announces officially the betroth ment of the Princess Maria of Baden, daughter of the Grand Duchess Dowager Stephania,.to the Marquis of Douglas, son of the Duke of Hamilton. NOVEL SIIICIDE.-A few days since the captain of a mer chantman at Torquay tied himself to his anchor, and drew it overboard with him ! Of course he sank to rise no more. We have not heard the cause of this melancholy event. A splendid piece of plate is to be presented by the conser vative electors of Cork to Colonel Chatterton, of the Fourth Dragoon Guards. There is not a finer, a braver, or a more deserving fellow in the service. An 1.0. U. is admissible in evidence as a confession of a debt, but it is not transferable; an insolvent could not re cover upon it, as the debt would pass to his assignee, although not included in his schedule. A letter from Lord Cottenham has appeared in the papers, in which his lordship expressly denies having had " directly or indirectly, any communication whatever with any member of the Government with respect to any of the legal appoint ments." THE MARCH OF INTELLECT. — We are assured that the following epistle was lately written from a farmer in this neighbourhood to his friend :—" Der Jan—the Oxen ar corn to praise the Gods"—he meant to convey that " the auc tioneer was come to appraise the goods.—Exeter Gazette. We perceive that a new article of commerce has been in troduced by the tariff. Natron from Egypt, the duty on which amounted to a prohibition, is now advertised for sale by auction. It will, most probably, interfere with the ma nufacture of soda. LAMP Ons.—The public may not be generally aware that an imperial gallon of seal or whale oil weighs 91bs., sperma ceti nibs., which test of quantity all consumers are recom mended to employ, as some retailers are using the old oil measure, which is one-fifth part less. More than £l,OOO was collected at three charity dinners in Bristol, last week, to distribute among the poor during the winter. This was to make good the loss sustained by the death of Mr. Colston a worthy merchant, who used to give away, at least, one thousand pounds a year. The Agitation is dying of consumption ; Dan and his priests are " cute" fellows, and well know that the incendia rism, rhetorical as well as practical, in which they used to keep up the steam in the days of Melbourne, Russell, & Co., is no go under Sir Robert Peel ; so it is now worth while to announce, per the Secretary of the Rint Fund, that the next will be the final " appeal to the people." Immediately after the receipt of the glorious news from Afghanistan, Major Howden, of the Madras army, had the pleasure of communicating the same to the son of General Sir Robert Sale, a fine spirited youth about 15 years of age at school in Edmonton. Nothing can describe the youth's feelings to hear of the gallantry of his father, and the prospect of the release from captivity of his dear and noble-spirited mother. The quantity of malt consumed in ale and porter by seven teen of the principal London brewers this year, (from the 10th October, 1841, to 10th October, 1842,) is 36,315 quar ters more than was consumed last year. The number of quarters brewed this year is 741,651, of this quantity Barclay, Perkins, and Co. consumed 114,090 quarters ; Hanbury, Buxton, and Co., 94,466; Whitbread and CO., 52,098; Reid and Co., 50,120; and Sir Henry Meta and Co., 43,340 quarters. So much for teetotalism and a dull trade. A POSER FOR THE " FREE TRADERS.”—Gentlemen " Free Traders !" Men of Manchester! ye would abolish all restriction on the interchange of the productions of the earth between all nations ; what say you to the British government throwing open the ports of India, and all our colonies, to the manufactures of the continent ? If ye be disinterested in your outcry for free trade," pray prove it by coupling a prayer to this effect with your next petition on the subject to parliament. tHE INDIAN HEROES.—It will be some time before the names of Pollock, Nott, and Sale are out of the mouths of Englishmen ; nor do we at all apprehend that they will have reason to complain that their merits or services are under rated: The unfailing success which has crowned every operation of each of those officers, the constancy with which two of them have upheld British character in our most ad- Verse times, and the decision with which the third has effected thoroughly and at once each successive object which it has been his duty to undertake, mark them as worthy, in their department, of any honour, and capable of any trust, which the national gratitude may award them.—Times. MANCHESTER BANK ROBBERY.—Edmund Burdekin, who is reported, by our foreign news to-day, as having ab sconded with £90,000 of the funds of the Manchester Bank of England, was seen in Albany a day or two after the arri val of the Britannia, by an English gentleman who knew him personally. Both parties met in the street without any token of recognition. The supposition in England was that Bur dekin took passage in the Britannia for this country.—New York Courier and Inquirer.—Burdekin, the Manchester Bank defaulter, has been seen in Albany. He cannot escape. He will be caught, and delivered up under the new treaty.— Herald. MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE.--At four o'clock on Thursday morning a pilot boat, belonging to . South Shields, was left in charge of a young pilot, alongs ide the Regent, Robson, off Souter Point, and a sailor boy belonging to the Regent was de.patched in the boat along with him, to pro ceed to the Night Office, which they, however, never reached. At daylight the boat was found, bottom up, near the bar, with her sail set, and it is supposed she had upset with the unfortunate youths. The names of the sufferers are Matthew Thorlby, aged 18, serving his time to be a pilot, aad John Forrest, aged 13, a cabin boy on board the Regent. Their bodies have not yet been found.—Durham Advertiser. STATE OF TRADE.—The exhilirating news this week re ceived from India and China, has produced a very salutary effect in both the cloth and yarn market. Shillings have been advanced fully 9d. per piece, and printing cloths are up 6d., whilst at these rates purchasers cannot supply them selves, stocks being quite cleared out. Yarn is very healthy, and though no advance, adequate to that in the cotton mar ket, can he noted, spinners are little inclined to operate freely at the slight improvement at present offered, and anticipate better prices hereafter. The failute of a house here in the general trade has been this week announced. It is, however, of no consequence, save to the parties immediately interested, and has been anticipated for some time.—Manchester Chro nicle. ELECTION OF REGISTRAR FOR THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. — The election of a registrar for the West Riding, which office became vacant by the death, (a few weeks ago,) of Mr. William Lister Fenton Scott, commenced at Wakefield on Tuesday last. The candidates were, the Hon. Arthur Lascelles, brother to the Earl of Harewood, and T. B. Hodgson, Esq. of Skelton, near York. The electors, according to the statute, (2d and 3d Anne,) were all the freeholders of the West Riding, of £lOO per annum. At the close of the first day's (Tuesday's) poll, the numbers were,— Lascelles, 1,012; Hodgson, 754; majority, 258. At the close of Wednesday's poll, Mr. Lascelle's majority had been reduced to one of 64 : the numbers being,—Lascelles, 1,409 ; Hodgson, 1,345. The poll finally closed on Thursday even ing, when Mr. Hodgson was declared to be duly elected, having a majority of 34 votes. The contest was a very severe and expensive one. The office is said to be worth from £1,500 to £2,000 a year. A correspondent sends us the following, which to some per sons may be useful :—" Letters to and from India and other warm climates may be sealed with wax, by adopting the fol lowing precaution : viz., before sealing the letter prepare a small piece of tissue paper, either round or square, the full size of the seal, and while applying the wax hold it betwixt the finger and thumb of the same hand in which you hold the letter ; and the moment you have completed the quantity of wax necessary for the impression, lay on the piece of tissue paper, and directly, while the wax is yet hot, apply your seal above it. This will produce a complete impression, and obvi ate the complaint so often reiterated from the Post-office, of letters adhering to each other, and at the same time enable correspondents to avail themselves of the security obtained by sealing; their letters with wax. The writer has adopted the above precaution successfully." [ls not a wafer as sate, though a less seemly, fastening ?] RADICAL ARITHMETIC remits COCKER.—The following specimen of liberalism appears in the Sun of Thursday :—" A GOOD EXAMPLE.—(From a Correspondent.)—More than £l,OOO was collected at three charity dinners in Bristol last week, to distribute among the poor during the present win ter. This was to make good the loss sustained by the death of Mr. Colston, a wealthy merchant, who used to give away at least one thousand pounds a-year. Two of the dinners were made party questions. The whigs—that is the Anchor Society—beat the tories by nearly £100." Now for the figures. The two tory societies (the Dolphin and Grateful) contributed £Bll Bs. clear of all expenses. The Radical An chor Society, £3BO 35., from which sum is to be deducted for 80 dinners, (not to be too nice) say £5O. Thus, instead of the whigs " beating the tories by nearly £100," the tories licked the whigs to the tune of about £4Bl. We wonder who the wiseacre is that " does" the Bristol correspondence of the Sun?—Bristol Journal. The public are deeply indebted to the Times for the admi rable expose that lately appeared in its columns, of the errors, blunders, variations, and omissions of a work recently pub lished, under the title of the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, with explanatory Notes, together with an Introductory Preface. By the Right Rev. William Beveridge, D.D., Lord Bishop of St. Asaph." Such dis honest practices are of too frequent occurrence, we regret to say, at the present day, to surprise us ; but we did think the sacred character of the " Book of Common Prayer," and the importance of preserving its text pure and unadulterated, would have prevented the issue of any false, unauthorised, and spurious edition thereof—we did think commercial cu pidity, however keen and grasping, would have abstained from a falsification of a volume so vitally affecting the doctrines and discipline of the Church, and through which she authoritatively teaches; but it appears we were mistaken as to the daring lengths to which some will go in search of lucrative speculations. Such an offence we look upon as only less criminal than that of circulating a mangled and mu tilated edition of the Word of God itself, which we fear there are parties who would not hesitate to do, provided they saw• a chance of thereby increasing their profits.—Conservative Journal. STEAM POR CHINA.—A correspondent of the Spectator recommends the immediate establishment of a line of steam ers to run between Bombay and Hong-kong. After showing t o b f epecessity, in the present state of our relations with China, and secure rnPire lla h l e f- s w a y ay s '— " diminishing the distance between England and the Celes tial Hon The distance between Bombay and Hongkong is 4000 miles ; and Sincapore forms a natural comni c uni C h ang _ o .,house for replenishing coals, or for a t o z o s u s el •,. might t d b from o ext e w o h d e e n d c e t , o hereafter, t r t a h l e i a o line Colo nies. of The total distance to be performed would he about four of 1000 tc l in e s r . an 'T un ; 100,000 miles and the vessels required would be A i, c c 1 e :a l r .. :.

The annual exp ense to the countrywouldto be about .£lOO,OOO ; from which must be deducted the expense of keeping up the vessels as men-of-war." The She-Chartists continue to hold weekly meetings at the " National Association Hall," Old Bailey. Miss Mary Ann Walker read the other day a letter from a " sympathising" republican in France, accompanied by an unpublished work advocating the rights`of woman. STeam•narcEn BREAD.—It has been known for some time at Vienna, that if the hearth of a oven be cleansed with a moistened whisp of straw, bread baked therein immediately afterwards presents a much better appearance, the crust having a beautiful yellow tint. It was thence inferred that this peculiarity must be attributed to the vapour, which being condensed to the roof of the oven fell back on the bread. At Paris, in order to secure with certainty so desi rable an appearance, the following arrangement is practised : —The hearth of the oven is laid so as to form an inclined plane, with a rise of about 11 inches in three feet, and the arched roof is built lower at the end nearest the door, as compared with the furthest extremity. When the oven is charged, the entrance is closed with a bundle of wet straw. By this arrangement the steam is driven down on the bread, and a golden yellow crust is given to the bread, as if it had been previously covered with the yolk of an egg. ALICE LOWE .4.N AUTIIORESS.—Miss Alice Lowe, or some one for her, has addressed us a circular, to which she appends what she pleases to call a preface to a History of her Life and Adventures. We shall only extract one portion of it, which may serve as a solemn warning to those who may be tempted to abandon the narrow paths of virtue for the treacherous and tortuous broad road of splendid vice. Referring to her con nexion with Lord Frankfort, she says :—" The temptation was great—wealth, splendour, costly dress, jewels, and ease, were dazzling objects before me ; and yet was I disgusted with the mat, whom I had reposed on ; and regardless of all these, would have left his inhospitable roof long ere I did, could I have escaped his scrutiny. No one for a moment can imagine I had either enjoyment or ease in the position I had accepted, s and if any one thing more than another could excite in me remorse for the sacrifice I had made'of my per son, it was the disgusting conduct Iwas doomed to undergo! , DESPERATE ATTACK BY POACHERS.—On the night of Wednesday, the 16th instant, Captain Barrett, of Morwick Hall, near Warkworth, being informed that a gang of poach ers were upon the estate, went out accompanied by his bro ther-in-law, the Rev. Henry Bell, Vicar of Longhoughton, for the purpose of warning them off. Shortly after leaving the house, and being a short distance from each other, Capt. Barrett heard Mr. Bell call, and immediately proceeded to the spot, where he found the Rev. gentleman attacked by the whole gang, five in number, who had him down, and were beating him unmercifully with the butts of their guns and bludgeons. After a desperate struggle, Captain Barrett suc ceeded in getting out his pistols, when the villains fled. Mr. Bell was conveyed to Morwick Hall, with one of his arms broken by a desperate blow from the butt of a gun, which was also broken by the blow, the butt end being afterwards found on the spot; he was also severely beaten aboutlthe head by the cowardly villains when on the ground. We are glad to learn the Rev. Gentleman is in a fair way of recovery, and that sanguine hopes are entertained of the apprehension of the parties to this violent and cowardly outrage.—Durham Advertiser.

NOVEL FRAUD.—Between five and six o'clock on Thurs day evening about 40 or 50 females, whose appearance be spoke extreme poverty, were congregated round the entrance to St. Saviour's Church, London, exhibiting much surprise on finding the doors closed, and the interior of the church in darkness. Upon inquiry it was found the poor creatures were the victims of a heartless fraud, which had been practised on them in the following manner :—The whole of them were residents of Castle-street and parts adjacent. In the course of the afternoon they were visited by a female of extremely fair complexion, apparently about 22 years of age, dressed in a dark coloured Orleans gown, a plaid shawl, and white straw cottage bonnet, who went from house to house, and, having inquired of the housekeeper the names of the lodgers, as well as the number of children they individually had, proceeded to the apartments of the respective occupants, and informed them she had been deputed by a benevolent society which existed in the parish to call at the residence of the poor, for the purpose of ascertaining what articles of clothing each person was in want of, and which would be given away in the course of the afternoon at St. Saviour's Church, immediately after the termination of divine service. A small piece of paper was produced, upon which this " sister of charity" wrote the name of the individual, and the articles wanted. The paper was delivered to the sup posed necessitant, and for which was demanded 2d. ; in several instances the poor creatures could not raise hl., which was taken. On the discovery of the fraud information was given to the police. FATALITY FROM MACHINERY IN A PAPER-MILL.—A fatality occasioned by the machinery in a paper manufactory occurred on Saturday week, at the paper-mill of Mr. John Dickinson, in Elm-street, Water-street, Manchester. At the inquest, held before Mr. Chapman, at the Royal Infir mary, on Monday, Thos. Murray, of Edward-street, Hulme, a boy 14 years of age, deposed—l and the deceased (Henry Clifton, 11} years old) worked together at Mr. Dickinson's paper-mill. My employment was to hand the rags and water to the deceased, who stood on a stage, and put them into a " hopper," which feeds a " devil," a "skutcher," working u nderneath. At the bottom of the hopper is a door, which confines or lets ent the waste as the skutcher turns, and dis poses of its previous supply ; and the door is opened and shut, and the skutcher turned in a frame, by a steam-engine. We were so at work on Saturday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, and were waiting of the opening of the door to let out the waste which deceased had just put into the hopper; and while the deceased was hanging carelessly by a post, with his right foot on one side of the hopper, all at once the door opened, and his foot slipping, his leg fell within the rags or waste through the hole, and, being caught by the skutcher, was cut off just below the knee. I immediately called out for assistance, and Ann Coney, who was working near, ran up, and we extricated hirn, and placed him upon the stage. It was entirely his own f ault, and would not h ave h appened had he been standing in his proper position on the stage. He was calling my attention to a cart which was passing the door at the time.—James Blackley, of Liverpool-road, fire man of the mill, deposed that he ran to assist on hearing the alarm, and found the deceased lying on the stage. A cab was sent for, and he was conveyed to the Infirmary. The top or mouth of the hopper came up to deceased's middle : it was about 3 feet high, and was in no respect dangerous. The occurrence was entirely owing to bis having his foot on the hopper, and not minding his work. He had been often cautioned against putting hi s f oo t th ere .—M r. Ed w d. Tom linson, house-surgeon at the Infirmary, deposed that the deceased was admitted about eleven o'clock on Saturday morning. He had suffered compound fracture of the right thigh, and excessive laceration of the leg, which was ampu tated, but he died the same evening about eight o'clock. Verdict—" Accidental death." AYRSHIRE COLLIERS' STRIKE.—Every exertion has been made to search out and apprehend the offenders, six of whom have been taken into custody by the county police and yeo manry. There are now altogether nine individuals in gaol, supposed to have acted a prominent part in the outrage ; and we understand, that though the principal parties may still be at large, there is every probability of their being ultimately secured. Dawson, of whose recovery little hope was enter tained from the first, lingered till four o'clock on Friday afternoon, when he expired. His declaration was taken a short time prior by the Sheriff. On a post mortem examina tion it was found that death had ensued from the wound in the abdomen, evidently caused by a gun or pistol shot. The deceased, who was an Irishman, had only come from Glasgow the day before. He was between forty and fifty years of age, and having left a family, much sympathy was created on their account. We understand that Mr. Gordon contemplated raising a sum of money in their behalf ; but on learning that his children, all of whom were by a former wife, were grown up and doing for themselves, and that his widow, from the unhappy manner in which they lived, was not a proper object of commiseration, he, in the meantime, has relinquished the benevolent intention. Dawson's remains were decently in terred in the old churchyard yesterday. The other sufferers are all in a fair way of recovery. Their names are Thomas lieid. James Wallace, William Blair, Robert Liddel, William Clark, Michael Brady, James Divine, Bernard Boyle, and Charles Donelly. The greater number of the men attacked had only joined the works the day before. The individuals in custody are Adam Donachie, James Gauchin, Robert Wood, Hugh O'Neill, James Graham, Robert Donachie, William Gibson, Scholey, and John M`Grogan. It will be seen that a reward of £lOO has been offered by the sheriff for such information as will lead to the apprehension of the individual who fired the shot at Dawson. On Saturday up wards of fifty of the old hands voluntarily came forward and signed the regulations of the work, with the view of resuming their employment on Monday. Only a few of them, how ever, fulfilled their agreement, the leaders of the strike has- - ing, it is believed, prevailed upon them to remain out. On Friday morning a party of ten of the Glasrow police—who had previously been employed in the Airdrie district while the strike existed there—were brought here by Mr. Gordon, as an additional protection to the new hands. This morning, we learn, a number of the old hands have resumed work, and more are:expected to follow their example.—Ayr Observer. THE FRENCH IN ALGIERS.—A HOAXING VICTOR. — The French press has of late been very severe upon the con duct of our armies in Affghanistan and elsewhere; and even the writers of moderate parties have not shrunk from joining in the deprecation of every British, achievement. We think it useful, therefore, to call the attention of these gentlemen from British to French feats of arn;isynot from any desire of instituting a comparison, which, between two brave nations, were idle, but for the sake of testing the comparative veracity of the military narratives and criticisms on both sides. The story which makes us take pen in hand is a curious one ; and since the day when Niebuhr with the stroke of his pen blotted four hundred years from Roman history, no more startling doubts were ever thrown on achievements which had become part of history than those which we are compelled to put forth. Mazagran is a little village in the regency of Algiers, not far from Mostaganem, in the province of Oran. A report drawn out by Lieutenant-General Gnehenec, in February, 1840, and transmitted by him to Marshall Valee, and from the latter to the War Minister, announced to the French people the achievements of certain wonderful feats of arms. The principal of these was, that 123 soldiers of the African regiment, shut up in Mazagran, which is styled a forte or a redoute, resisted during four successive days the attacks of 12,600 Arabs. These Arabs had two pieces of cannon, and were unceasing in their attacks during four days. "At last the enemy was on the point of penetrating into the enceinte in an assault of an hour's duration," said Captain Lelievre, who commanded the 123 brave chasseurs of the garrison • but the intrepidity of the latter at length succeed e d i n repelling the enemy by bayonets, grenades, and stones. The garrison burned, moreover, 30,000 cartouches. The gallant 123 had but 3 killed and 16 wounded, though they killed from 500 to 600 Arabs. Great, accordingly, was the triumph in France and Algeria. Captain Lelievre received promotion—the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour. The Chamber of Deputies voted him thanks and a monument. The War Minister subscribed. Mazagran was the only word in fashion all through the year 1810; and its feat of arms was allowed to have thrown into shade all others, past and prevent. After all this, we cannot but regret to state to our French and English readers, that we have been informed that Mazagran and its fine defence are neither more nor less than a hoax This says enough. But any one of the many Paris journalists who have access to the French War Ministry can at once set us right, and vindicate the honour of the French arms. They can tell us whether the despatches of February, 1840, con cerning Mostaganem and Mazagran are considered correct — whether the Chef de Bataillon, Lelievre, still enjoys his rank and his cordon—whether the monument to his memory is in progress, or what the War Minister has done with the money subscribed for that purpose. A few simple answers to these questions will decide in what light history is to regard the feat of Mazagran.—Chro*icle. DEPARTURE OF THE " GREAT NORTHERN' STEAM-SHIP FROM DERRY. (From the Derry Standard.) On Monday morning, at seven o'clock, a.m., many bun- I dreds of persons were assembled at Captain Coppiii's yard, and along the adjacent quays, to witness the departure of the Great Northern from the spot where she had been launched, to her first anchorage off Moville, where she now lies, for a further trial of her speed. &c., previous to her final departure for Southampton, where she is to be visited by some of the Lords of the Admiralty and other nautical authorities. At eight o'clock the anchor was weighed for the first time, and the Great Northern majestically glided into the midst of the river, without any apparent propelling power, amidst the cheers of the people assembled, and the report of cannon from the Robert Napier. No grander sight was ever witnessed from the shores of the Foyle than the progress of this vessel through the Rosses' Bay, as she parted the placid waters, which faithfully reflected every spar of her towering masts and the graceful curve of her lengthened hull. She left the quay with upwards of a thousand tons of ballast, exclusive of her machinery. In less than an hour from leaving the flats, the new steamer dropped anchor between Redcastle and Moville. It now becomes our agreeable task to state what we know of the Great Northern:a capacity for performing the functions for which she was designed. By this her first, and necessarily most imperfect trial, we think we have reason to foretell the total disuse of paddles and their ugly and cumber some accompaniments. paddle-boxes. The Archimedes screw is not seen outside the vessel while proceeding on her voyage, and its motions produce scarcely a ripple on the surface of the water. The vessel is shot forward at once, as if by a push from the shore ; and except that a funnel is seen (which very immaterially detracts from the beauty of the structure), no ignorant person could tell but that she was towed by some invisible agency. While going over the flats, the Great Northern was proceeding at the rate of nearly seven knots an hour (by Massey's Patent Log, which was used on the occagion), under the combined disadvantages of dangerously shallow water, and new and c onsequen tly stiff machinery, but she was sailing eight knots (or upwards of ten miles) per hour, previously to her anchor being dropped in deep water; and it is only just to infer that she will yet sail at the rate of nine, and perhaps ten knots an hour, as at no time during this trip did the screw make more than fifteen revolutions per minute out of the twentv-two which it is cal culated to make, only two-thirds of the proper steam power being applied. The " "slip " was only one mile in seven—that is to say; though the screw revolved with supposed velocity sufficient to send the vessel seven miles in a given time, the distance passed was but six miles. We u n d erstan d t h a t t hi s description of loss is very considerably greater in the paddle system, amounting to four miles out of every ten. Of course, when the Great Northern's machinery is in proper working order, the " slip " will be so inconsiderable as to be not worth noticing. Never did a vessel obey the helm with more promptness; and, it was a common remark on board, that a child might steer her. In short, the success of the experi ment has been triumphant. In the lougth the Great Northern has all the appearance of a frigate of the first class, and as a mere sailing vessel, it is confidently expected that no frigate will beat her. The Great Northern will leave her present anchorage in a few days. THE INQUEST AT SKIBBEREEN. The Coroner commented briefly on the evidence, and laid down the law distinctly and fully, as it applied to the finding of murder, justifiable homicide, or manslaughter. The jury then retired, at twenty minutes to five, and were closeted about three quarters of an hour, when the foreman entered the box, and desired to ask the coroner, did the un justifiable firing . of the rear guard on the party in the rear constitute muruer or manslaughter? Coroner.—lf they bad fired without any cause, or without thinking that they had any cause whatever, then you should return a verdict of murder; but, on the other hand, if they had formed a presumption, although a wrong one, that there was a necessity of their firing, then you will bring in a verdict of justifiable homicide, or manslaughter, just as you conceive you have a right to do from the whole of the evidence. Foreman.—Mr. Coroner, there are many young men here on the jury, and they are anxious to know what will con stitute a verdict—whether there must be a majority. Coroner.—There must be a finding of twelve, but it would be better to have it unanimous. The jury then retired, but again entered the box, and re quested that the coroner would once more lay down the law, and in as brief terms as possible. The coroner again laid it down in almost the same terms as before, upon which the jury retired as if then satisfied upon the exact point. In the course of another half hour they returned and declared that they had come to their verdict. The following is the verdict in both cases :—" In the case of Michael M'Donnell, we find that he came by bis death in consequence of a gunshot wound, fired by some of a party of police, on the lands of Rha, on the 17th of November, 1842, under the command of John Gore Jones, Esq., S. M., and we find a verdict of justifiable homicide, being of opinion that Mr. Jones was justified in giving that order." The jury were unanimous in giving the above verdict. The next was as follows.—" In the case of John Brien, we find that he came by his death in consequence of a gun-shot wound fired by one of the party composing the rear-guard under the command of constable Alexander Heuston, at Rha, on the 17th day of November, 1842; and we find that the said rear guard consisted of eight men, viz., Alexander Heuston, John Kenedy, Richard Magrath, Jeremiah Guerin, Patrick Do oughue, Stephen Grady, Patrick Quinn, and Thomas Scott, and that they are guilty of manslaughter, conceiving that, under the circumstances, they were not justified in firing on an unoffending party in the rear." To this verdict the following sixteen names of jurors were attached—Daniel M'Carthy, Thomas Henry Marmion, Richard Coppinger, Daniel Welphy, John Collins, Patrick Mahony, Patrick Leonard, William Young, James Collins, Daniel M`Cartie, Richard O'Leary, Edward Fuller, John Levis, Thomas St. John Clarke, Thomas M'Carthy, and Ralph Fuller. There were four jurors who agreed to a ver dict of justifiable homicide, and two for murder. Mr. Downing.—Gentlemen, it is my duty to tell you that I entirely coincide with your verdict, and I say that it is both a discriminating and a proper one. Foreman.—We have but endeavoured to discharge our duty honestly and fairly. But we wish to have one observa tion made from this box, and it is this—that we have ever looked upon this district as one of the most peaceable and quiet of all Ireland, and did so up to this late melancholy transaction. We are sorry that bad advice should have been given to the poor misguided people by persons in a superior rank of life, and if that mischievous advice had not been re• ceived by the poor people, we would not now be placed in our present painful position. This we deem it right to go before the country. . CHARGE or MUTINY.—At the Newport (South ;Wales) Police-office, on the 21st instant, fourteen seamen, belonging to the ship Royal Albert, of this port, were brought before the magistrates, charged with mutinous conduct. The vessel was intended to sail from Liverpool to Newport, thence to Bermuda, &c., and left this town on the Bth instant for that purpose: but on the Tuesday following, when the ship was at Coscomb Bay, the men refused to obey orders, and so continued, with little intermission, until her arrival at New port. The captain deposed to several instances in which the crew refused to lend a hand to comply with his directions ; and his statements were corroborated by two pilots and others. Ten of the men were discharged on forfeiting their wages ; two were discharged unconditionally ; and two were fined £2, or he committed for a month. THE SALE OF ANIMALS AND OTHER PROPERTY AT TILE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. — The excellent collection of ani mals and other moveable property at the Manchester Zoolo gical Gardens were last week brought to the hammer. The auction was commenced on Wednesday. and continued on each of the two following days. On the first day there were about 300 gentlemen present; on the second day upwards of 500; and on Friday also the attendance was exceedingly good. The whole of the parrots, which were sold the first day, fetched nearly double the prices that were expected for them, and in general the bidding for the other birds in the aviary was exceedingly spirited. The parrots brought prices varying from £1 to.ts each. There was a spirited compe tition for the large boa constrictor, also sold the first day, and it was ultimately knocked down to Mr. Wombwell, for 20 guineas. The pair of fine blood-hounds, originally from the collection of Earl Fitzwilliarn, were sold for £6 55., one of them to Mr. E. T. Grundy, who also was the purchaser of the love-birds. The pair of wolves and den in which they were confined, sold the second day, brought £3 ss. Mr. Candish, broker of Ancoats, was the purchaser. The fine lion and two lionesses have realised £323 ss. Mr. Titus bought the lion, for £150; and the two lionesses were bought by Mr. Wombwell, for 165 guineas. The large Bengal tiger was knocked down to Mr. Wombwell, for £45. The three leopards and leopardess fetched £3B. One of the leopards was bought by Mr. Atkins, of the Liverpool Zoological Gardens, for £9 ; another, by Mr. Wombwell, for eleven guineas; and the third, along with the leopardess, by Mr. Sharpies, of Bolton, for £l7 95.. The two hyaenas were purchased by Mr. Hulse, for £7. The female puma was sold to Mr. Herrin g , for £6 10s. The bears fetched prices ranging from £3 10s. to £5 each. The fine rhinoceros (the only one, we believe, in England) sold for 265 guineas, to Mr. Wombwell. The elephant was knocked down to one of the directors, on behalf of the company, at 250 guineas, and was, we understand, the only animal " bought in." The Bactrian camel was bought by Mr. Fraser, for 32 guineas. The pelican sold for £7, and the geese on the lakes brought good priees, averaging nearly £1 a head. The monkeys averaged from £1 to £2 10s. each. Mr. Sharpies purchased several, as did also Mr. Herring. On Friday the fixtures and miscellaneous property were sold, and went off uncom monly well. The weighing machine, by Radfords and Wad dington, fetched 20 guineas, and most of the other articles were sold at proportionate prices. The total proceeds of the sale will be about £1,505, exclusive of the elephant, which still remains th e property of the proprietors. FATAL AFFRAY ON THE MENDIP HILLS.-011 the 15th ultimo, three men, named Samuel Britton, (with his son, a lad,) John Day, and John Angle, went about one o'clock in the day to the Hunter's Lodge, on Mendip Hills, where they took some rum and water. A dispute arose between Angle and a man in the room, which led to a fight, in which the stranger was worsted. Some time afterwards they left the house in their carts, and when they had got three or four hundred yards on their road, the landlord, named Francis Ashman, with others, came after them, and said they had not paid all their reckoning, and that they had nearly killed two men in the house. A dispute arose and led on to an affray, in which it is not yet proved who was the aggressor, and which was conducted with terrible violence on both sides. Oneof the persons acting on the part of Ashman, (a labourer, named Thomas Stephens,) says, that a man in one of the carts said to his companions, " D— their eyes, what do they follow us for ? Let's turn to them." They did so ; and John Day beat Stephens' companion terribly about the head. Stephens went and tried to get the stick from this man, but could not, and they had a struggle close under the wall: the man there wounded Stephens twice in the head with a knife. While he was struggling, Henry Rossiter said, " Don't kill the man," and another man then said, " D— thy eyes, I'll kill thee." Mr. James Everdale, auctioneer, of Wells, who was passing before the fight had commenced in the road, remonstrated with Angle, and while he was doing so a boy called out, "Go and get the sticks." One of the men in company with the landlord was then struck with a heavy stick by Angle, who made his escape. Mr. Everdale was also struck by the same person, and dropped down in sensible. When he recovered he was struck again several times, but his hat saved him. The affray then became general and desperate, stones flying in numbers from both parties ; and Samuel Britton, according to Mr. Everdale, took an active part in the fight. Mr. Everdale said he believed Britton was the person who struck him on the head with an iron cramp. In the fight Britton was knocked down. Every one was at that time disfigured by the blood flowing from their heads. Some boys cried out, when Britton fell, " Oh, don't murder my father." Day and Britton were afterwards taken to Wells gaol, but they were not examined before the magistrates, the prosecutor not appearing. In the affray, Britton, who was forty-five years of age, and lived in Lamb street, St. Philips, received a blow on the head from Ashman, which caused his death there on Tuesday last. An inquest on his body was held on Wednesday, and by adjournment on Thursday and Friday, before J. B. Grindon, Esq., at which the evidence was not only most voluminous but extremely conflicting. At the close of the proceedings on Friday, Mr. Grindon told Ashman, who was in custody, that it was for him to produce evidence that the opposite parties were the aggressors. Mr. Ashman said, that one witness, George Millard, could depose to the whole case from beginning to end ; he had promised to be there that day, but his wife was confined, which prevented him. Besides this, he had five or six witnesses who could rebut what had been deposed against him. Mr. Grindon then said he would adjourn the inquest till Monday.—Brirtol Journal. .• 01)ipptng intelligntre.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 2q. • The dulness which we reported in our last circular continued during the early part of the week, and but little business was done. The prospect, however, which now seems to present itself of some impetus being given to the get, eral trade of this district, has caused a more cheerful feeling among all clases ; and to this, we think, may in some measure be attributed the fact, that during the last two days buyers have shown somewhat more inclination to increase their stocks, which, however, they have been enabled to do, at late prices. At Liverpool and Wakefield yesterday, a fair business was done in all articles, at full prices. At our Corn Ex change to.day, there is a steady trade in Wheat and Flour, at the quotations of this day week. Oats dull, at former rates : Meal 6d to is per load lower, with a fair inquiry for best qualities, at this reduction. Beans and Malt as last noted, LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 28 On the opening of our market this morning it was evident that the excitement had by no means subsided, the inquiry was general, and buyers evinced anxiety to purchase promptly, at the extreme prices of last week, and in many instances a slight ad vance was readily paid ; in this way about 10,000 bales have been sold, about 4000 of them to speculators, remainder to the trade, and the market closes with great firmness and buoyancy. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT, The market in the early part of the week was heavy, the quantity offered being considerable ; but since the receipt of the gratifying intelligence from China and India, the demand has been very animated, both from the Trade and Speculators. Prices of the common and middling qualities of American and Surat are fully id per lb higher than on Friday last ; for the better descriptions there is less inquiry, but the previous quotations are fully main tained. Brazil is more inquired for, and prices are firm, but in Egyptian and other kinds there is no change. 1133 Sea Island and 547 Stained were offered by auction to-day, of which ;40 of the former and 480 of the latter found buyers at rather higher prices than were previously current. Speculators have taken 9000 American and 6000 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 18th to the 2ith instant. inclusive. SALES OP THE WEEK.

Beyond a few thousand bushels of foreign Wheat disposed of .to speculative buyers, and a moderate quantity of Flour to consumers, the operations in any branch of the Corn trade, from Tuesday's market until to-day, have been tri vial. Supplies of Grain, however, coming slowly forward, and holders still looking to the gradual diminution of our stocks of foreign produce in granary, no urgent desire was shown during that time, either to force business or to sub mit to any further relaxation in prices. At this day's market the same steady feeling continued to prevail on the part of sellers as regards Wheat, and although the millers were extremely inactive, and but few sales effect ed, all descriptioni of English, Irish, and foreign fully sup ported the current rates of Tuesday. Upon a moderately fair demand, prime marks of English and Irish Flour were Is. per sack, and States, as well as Canadian, 6d. per barrel dearer. Barley, moving off slowly, hardly maintained late prices. Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to excite very little notice, and each may be deemed the turn cheaper. In Oats, likewise, the transactions were very limited in amount, at a small abatement ; and Oatmeal, though rather more saleable, was slightly depressed in value. As ass ICES CURRENT.

Pickled seconds following in the wake of dry Butter, may be purchased at 729 to 735. 'I he stock in London is exceedingly large, and such is the heaviness pervading that market, that holders here are very ner vous. The store demand for Irish Beef and Pork is tolerably fair, but lower rates have been submitted to, the best brands of new Beef now offered at 95s per tierce, and first rate Pork 52s per brl. The transactions in 'States Beef and Pork are trivial ; nor do we think there will be any. business of a decided character ensered into, until the newly cured provisions have made their appearance. The quality it is expected will be much superior to what has pre ceded it in this market. POTATOE MARKET, R 28, 1842 LIVERPOOL HAI AN NOVEMB- ri Potatoes 9 tl,. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.
