And left us to regard thy flight With mingled sorrow and delight? Thy course, with holy ardour bright, Declared thy duty thy delight But scarce hadst tho u thy race begun. But lo ! thou 'rt fled—thy work is don Why not with us in this dark vale, Dilating on the wondrous tale Thy tongue delighted to proclaim To tribes of every tongue and name ? - • -- - Why not below, to glad the sight Of those who mourn thy early flight— , Who saw thee not, but feel thou 'rt gone Why ? 'Tis because thy work is done. Then why detain thee ? Though we weep, We dare not, Mould not break thy sleep ; Nor wish thee from thy present bliss, Again to tread a world like this. Thy work is done, though short thy stay ; Then rest with God in endless day ; And with thy sainted brethren sing The praise of heaven's Eternal King. But though thy servant, Lord, has fled To thee, yet send upon my head Like holy love, like fervent zeal ; A double portion let me feel: And guide me in his course to run, Nor haste me till my work be done; And then with joy unending praise To Father, Son, and Spirit raise. Liverpool, July, 1841 THE QUEEN'S SPEECH (From the Times.) It is no longer kept a secret that the royal speech on the opening of the new parliament is to raise the subject of the budget. 'We had heard this confidently asserted almost a fortnight ago, but we were unwilling to believe, ill as we think of the yet lingering ministry, that they were prepared to commit such an indecency as this. We could not per suade ourselves that, under all the circumstances of the time, and with a proved impossibility of adding, by this new crime, a single hour to their time, they would go the length of com mitting their royal mistress to a string of recommendations to which they positively know that parliament must needs firm, however respectful, refusal. If there be one eutional principle which, more than all others, is im .ant_to the well being of'a monarchy, it is, that the wishes the Sovereign shall never he made to appear in conflict with the wishes of 63 people. For this reason it has been usual with former administrations, when they have found, from plain, though not perhaps actually direct indications, that the confidence of the country was withheld or withdrawn from them, to resign their offices, and so give their Sove reign the grace of the earliest possible compliance with pub lic opinion. This was not the course which it seemed good to the whig ministry to adopt. After a decision of their own House of Commons against' them, they held on, pretending to believe that the people, on appeal, would reverse the e. The appeal was made, and the sentence emphati , confirmed. Upon this , fu ll man y a simple-minded man imagined that they would forthwith resign. We knew better. We knew that they had instituted their appeal, not with any real hope of reversal, but for delay. Thus it was clear that they would keep possession until judgment could be actually entered up, and execution issued against them. So far we were not at all surprised at th eir waiting till the assemblage of the new parliament, for we have always done them justice about their consistency in the matter of adhesion ; and, in common with our old friend Lance, we " would have one that takes upon him to be a dog indeed, to be, as it were, a dog at all things." But what they are now about to do is, we own, a proceeding that astounds us. The only object which the ministry can possibly have in pledging the Queen to their obnoxious budget is the monstrous one of keeping a certain hold upon her in opposition—of retaining, after their constitutional and public relations with the crown are determined, a private and unconstitutional relation with it for their own party interests. A higher misdemeanour can hardly be conceived, When the Sovereign dismisses an administration for measures disapproved by the country, the constitutional construction of that proceeding is, that the obnoxious measures are abandoned, and that the Sovereign is entirely free to take other steps more consistent with the opinion of the people. A minister who relinquishes office without leaving, as tar as in him lies, this entire freedom to the crown, commits a crime against the Sovereign and a fraud upon his successors and upon the country. The successors whom the country brings in have a right to expect that the Sovereign is prepared to act upon their advice in general, and more particularly in the specific matter on which the decision of the country has thus been taken. When they have prepared their measure, and laid it before the Sovereign, is the Sovereign then to inform them that its principle is inadmissible—that a royal speech has concluded the Crown against concession—and that the appeal to the country has been made in vain ? This may be the course the outgoing Whigs would fain have their Royal mistress pursue, in the face of her loyal subjects, to whom she has so recently referred this question ; but we be lieve they will hardly give this direct advice ; we believe they will not, because they dare not—because the Sovereign, so counselled, would assert the dignity and sincerity of her own character, by instantly resenting, with strong apprehensions, the very suggestion of so unworthy a dealing. But, if this be not what her Ministers contemplate, in committing her to an express adoption of their budget from the throne, what other object is it which they have in view ? If they dare not pro pose to her to adhere to their budget by retaining themselves in office, nor to take her stand upon it as against their suc cessors, they are bound to contemplate that when the new House of Commons, by an amendment to the address, shall repeat the condemnation pronounced by the old house on them and that budget of theirs, her Majesty in dismissing them will dismiss their budget also. But if she is to dismiss their budget with them, and open her mind without prejudice to the counsels of the new adviser's whom, in compliance with -'ople's recommendation, she may call into her service, -sibly, how inconceivably indecorous is it, that lier present Ministers to put forth from 'se of Lords on Tuesday, the 24th of on the 28th or 30th she will be surrender in her closet at return a sentenc cal how inexpr she should be told . by the throne in the H this month, opinions constitutionally called upon to Buckingham-house ! But the budget, the ministerialists will tell us, must have a discussion ; they will urge that the old parliament was dissolved without any direct debate upon any part of it, ex cept the sugar duties ; that the ministers, in justice to them selves and the subject, must bring it fully before the public ; and that since an amel,dment to the address on the Queen's opening speech is likely to put them at once out of office, their only opportunity of raising the required debate before their departure will be by directing the speech itself to the items of the budget. It is quite impossible to admit such a plea for so flagrant an indecorum. Those who urge the necessity of a discussion know thoroughly well that it will be a mere superfluity ; that the whole matter was fully argued in parliament on Sir Robert Peel's resolution of "want of confidence," as well as upon several other less important occasions. Again, then, we ask, for what low and personal purpose is it, for what wretched chance of future office, for what dis honest hold upon the uneasy recollections of their sovereign, that they have betrayed her youth and inexperience into a promise that she will propound to the public next week a policy which she will have to retract the week after? Is this a situation in which to leave the consistency of the Crown ? Is this the loyalty of whig gentlemen ? Is this the affection ate, the exclusive attachment, which they profess to the character and person of her Majesty ? STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH SOUTH AMERICA. ? the .21Iorming Herald.) Attention has been lately drawn in the city to the subject of steam communication with that large portion of South America, comprehended between French Guiana and Cape `-‘7 the appearance of a contract concluded with the --ament, through the influence and active in tremission of Mr. J. Stun, on behalf of Mr. Willian Mor gan, of the firm of Acraman Morgan and Co. of Bristol, for the establishment of a line of steam-packets betwixt this country, Brazil, and the River Plate, by which the mail ser service would be performed so much more surely and expe ditiously, to the signal advantage of the mercantile and general interests of the states both on this and the other side the Atlantic. The contract in question recites that a suffi cient number of steam-vessels (six is the number decided on) shall he provided for a monthly communication betwixt England and Rio Janeiro, as well as from Rio to Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, calling and leaving mails and pas sengers at the intermediate ports of Pernambuco, Bahia, and Santa Catharina. Exclusive privileges are granted under this contract for fifteen years, dating from the time when the steam-packets shall commence running, and such commencement to take place within two years and a half from the date of the approval of the contract by the legis lative assembly of Brazil. For the conveyance of official and private correspondence from England the Brazilian government undertakes to pay monthly the sum of six thou sand milreis currency, but stipulates moreover for other ad - • '- b ,, wever seem sufficiently compensated by iifferent ways. Thus the con -n required to ship gratuitously each way, out and home, to the " extent of ten tons of goods or stores belonging to the Brazilian government," from one port of the empire to another, always excepting gunpowder ; also to convey gratuitously to the number of - fifty soldiers from Rio to Santa Catharina, or the reverse, each voyage, when desired, such conveyance not however including their provisions; also in case of a Brazilian vessel being cast away the crew, if at any port where the steamers touch, are to have free passage back to their own country with provisions, &c., to the number of ten of the crew_; also, it is conditioned that the contractor shall convey to Europe at half the usual passage money, to the number of ten each voyage, when so required, such persons as the government might desire to send to Europe for " instruction in any kind of science, art, or trade," &c. In return the steam-packets will be allowed to convey the goods and passengers from one port to another of the empire at which they must call, with out prejudice however to the privileges of other steam packets already licensed. The contractor is to be provided with special facilities in every port for the prompt despatch of cargo and passengers, and may cause bonded warehouses or hulks, to be constructed or fitted up, for immediate load ing and unloading of goods, &c. Ready-made sails, anchors, cables, masts, coal, &c., for the use of the steamers, may be imported free of all duty ; and the steamers are to be exempted from payment of all port cl i a l ar: t e:, light a n d anc h orage an d a ll o ther dues, with all other such advantages as British sailing packets now enjoy. The Brazilian government is not to exact any postage on letters conveyed to England, and no more than at present on letters brought to Brazil. On foreign letters through England to Brazil one-third less is to be charged than at present, and one-half of the amount so charged paid over to the steam-packet contractr plan of the contractor embraces, besides this regular . atal l' d'rct communication with the parts of South America indicated, ' the means of commu nication more or less direct, by connection British cruisers, with Madeira, nht _ thewith other steam ers, andthe o C a s a t n o a f ri A e i t c h a e , Cape de V erd Islands, and se Brazilian Gov beneficia tracting party is 'turns In nmd v &c. 'this "project,which, if joined in Such arc the outlines of 'this this country, and supported by the post-office authorities in generally, coin. who are understood to be favourable to must be of the will open out a vast field for improvement ill 'i ni : x 4 i St i ng m ilt to be mercial relations with Brazil, but above a ll very greatest importance to Brazil herself thus brought into closer connection with the trade and e of Europe by one half the extent of the present distance a , measured by time; and that which is true of Brazil, i s not the less so applied to the Oriental and Argentine republics of La Plata. With the distance so materially lessened; inter. course in every way, personal, commercial, and epistolary, must rapidly, if not immediately and proportionally, i n _ crease. It must be desirable as greatly as possible on every ground, both of political commercial interest, to preserve and encourage the direction of this intercourse as exclusively as possible, through the channel of British steam navi aidgation of For the purposes of the British government, and in the necessary creation and augmentation of a steam navy ap plicable to the purposes of war in cases of emer g ency, and subject to call, control, and active service whene ver required, this enterprise cannot but be peculiarly and beneficially adapted, through the medium of our post-office service on The population of Edinburgh, it appears by the census, is 138,194, being an increase in ten years of 2,140. There is to be a complete change in the uniform of the French infantry, which will extend to the ordnance service. The 72d Highlanders were reviewed by Prince Albert, at Windsor, on Thursday. A respectable young man, named John Smith, was killed upon the Dublin and Kingston Railway on Monday night. The reformers intend giving Lord Morpeth a dinner in Dublin. It will not take place immediately, but it will come off soon. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland has accepted the office of High Steward of the borough of Barnstaple, voted him by the Town-council. William Major, the aged man left for execution at Exeter, has been respited. The crime he was charged with was , murder, but it did not appear that he committed the deed. A French officer writes home to say the Shah of Persia cuts off heads at the rate of thirty or forty per day ! Plea sant country ! The celebrated steeple-chase horse Jupiter was recently shipped, per Rob Roy steam-ship, from Hull, for Vienna, as a present to Prince Lichtenstein. A fine boy, about four years of age, son of William Lisle, a labourer at the Railway Station, at Hexham, died on Wed nesday of hydrophobia, occasioned by the bite of a dog about a fortnight before. In the small village of Swinburne, containing twenty-three inhabitants, there are now living eight individuals, whose united ages amount to six hundred and eighteen years; the majority of the above are following their ordinary occupations. The address in the House of Lords, in reply to her majes ty's speech on the opening of the new parliament, will, we understand, be moved by Earl Spencer and be seconded by the Marqui's of Clanrietirde. The half-yearly meeting of the London and Birmingham Company was held on Friday, and a dividend of 4 per share declared. The last dividend was only 3 per share. The working expenses are reduced to about 35 per cent. • - MOLIERE.—A monument is about to be erected at Paris to the memory of this great writer. The titles of the differ ent comedies will be inscribed on the pedestal. It is expected that the inauguration of the monument may take place on the 17th February, 1842, the anniversary of Moliere's death. IRISH FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS.—A black proscription list, containing the names of the persons who voted for Messrs. Christmas and Reid, at the late election for Water ford, has been published and circulated ,with malicious industry. - - - An awfully sudden death occurred in Downpatrick last week. A man named Montgomery, who for the last three months was in the habit of taking between two and three quarts of raw whisky every day, dropped down dead in a fit of intoxication. --- At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in the Eastern Counties Railway, held on Friday, in London, the chairman stated, that the line would be opened all the way to Colchester, fifty-two miles from London, in the Septem ber of the ensuing year. The completion will be at an av erage expense of £3-1,000 per mile, and the entire cost of the line £2,300,000. - In the American Navy an official order has been lately issued for all officers to cut off their soap locks, and enacting, where whiskers are worn, that they shall not descend beyond one inch below the tip of the ear, and from thence making a straight line to the corner of the mouth. Moustaches and billy goalies are absolutely prohibited to be worn by naval, officers in uniform. The project for rendering Belgium an integral part of France, by the union of the customs of the two countries, is likely to meet with very general opposition. The Augs burgh Gazette regards the proposed incorporation as a poli tical arrangement—and consequently opposed to the principle of European equilibrium—to which none of the Five Powers will consent without mature deliberation. There is at present residing in the parish of Great Hazelly, Oxon, a woman in her 40th year, who has favoured the parish by producing 19 illegitimate children, she was married 20 years since, had one child by her husband, who absconded before it was born, and has never since been heard of : the woman, for 19 following years, has produced an illegitimate child, making a total of 20, 13 of the children are living : the cost to the parish of this expensive family exceeds £360. RULES OF THE BAR.—In one of the cases at Nisi Prius, only one counsel was engaged on the side of the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, who was on the other side, objected on the part of the bar, as a point of privilege, that in every defended case there should be a junior counsel employed as well as a leader. This being coincided in by the bar generally, the case was stopped for a moment till the attorney for the plain tiff handed a brief to a second counsel.—Hereford Journal. SHARP PRACTICE. — At a Justice of Peace Court held here a few days ago, one of our townsmen brought an action against his neighbour for ls. 9d. The defender established a counter claim for Is. 3d., when the former obtained a decree for the sum of sixpence. By the rules of the court the suc cessful litigant had to pay a shilling for the oath given by the defender in support of his counter claim, and the justice awarded a portion of the expenses, amounting to Is. against the pursuer. The latter had, therefore, to pay 2s. for the recovery of his sixpence.—lnverness Courier. THE POOR LAW ACT.—It is intended by the conservative party that the Poor Law Commission, which will expire in the course of a few months, shall be renewed for another year. It is felt that in the short session of parliament, about to commence, it would be impossible to deal satisfac torily with so important a question as the Poor I,aw Amend ment Bill, as propounded by the Whigs; but it is consola tory to know that the new administration fully purpose to divest the obnoxious measure of its harsh and uncalled-for provisions, and to adapt it to the real requirements of the country.—Newcastle Journal. THE CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS.—We understand that the Society of Friends in this town has been applied to for the use of their Meeting House, to hold the ministerial Anti Corn-law Conferences in, but have declined to lend it, as they consider the conference of a political character. Al though a few of the members of that society have been so imprudent as to assist in soma of the various systems of poli tical agitation, which have now become so common, the ge neral body of that society entirely disapproves of such pro ceedings.—Manchester Courier. A ridiculous story, copied from the Pottsville Miner's Journal, has been put in circulation, stating that the bitu minous coal used on board the British steamers plying to this country has frequently during the voyage ignited. The con signee at this port of the Great Western has thought proper flatly to deny the fact. It was scarcely necessary ; for bitu minous coal having, time out of mind, been the sole fuel used in some of the most populous countries of the world, and having been piled up in cellars and in every possible way for use when wanted, without any instance of spontaneous com bustion occurring, the idea that it should now for the first time take place was' too ridiculous to deserve a moment's consideration.—New York Morning Chronicle. FREEDOM OF PROTESTANTISM IN IRELAND.—A curious and somewhat interesting case came on at the Tyrone assizes on Monday. It was brought before Judge Crampton. The simple facts are that a Miss Graham, who is disposed to conform to the Protestant religion, was assaulted by her uncle, who was anxious that she should be educated as a Roman Catholic, and, in endeavouring to coerce her to sub mit to his wishes, treated her with great cruelty. Subse quently to this circumstance she was placed in a boarding school; it being understood that she was to enjoy full reli gious liberty. However, this understanding was violated ; for on the 2Gth of July , as Miss Graham was proceeding to visit a female friend, she was waylaid by her uncle and others, who placed her in a covered car and carried her off. The young lady appeared before the court, having been brought before it, by virtue of a writ of habeas corpus. The result was, that the persecuted lady has been placed under the care of a Protestant lady of independent fortune, who will permit her the free exercise of h er religion. THE CROPS. — The most favourable weather for the ripen ing of the corn crops has, with the exception of one day, prevailed throughout this district during the present week, and the atmosphere is now as bright and genial as could well be desired. Some patches of barley have been cut in various parts of Northumberland. The wheats have assumed a yellow hue, and notwithstanding the late rains stand full and strong upon the ground. It is believed that by the termina tion of the present month, should the weather continue favourable, of which there is at present every reasonable prospect, the harvest will have become general in the North of England. The statements which have appeared in certain " liberal" journals in the metropolis as to the prospects of the harvest are as preposterous as they are wicked, and can have been put forward with no other view than either to favour the nefarious designs of a set of gamblers in grain, or to increase the distress and discontent of the manufacturing population. At present there is no probability that the crop of wheat will be deficient in quantity or quality, and it may be hoped that in a very few weeks flour will be much more reasonable in price than now, though the management of in terested parties, unhappily prevails. —Newcastle Journal. SLEEPY JURORS. — In the course of an inquest held yes terday before Mr. Wakley, a juror, addressing the coroner, asked if the witness then under examination might not be allowed to sit down. Mr. Wakely replied, that he deemed it a very bad plan for witnesses to be sitting while giving their evidence, for they might perchance fall asleep, while standing kept them awake. He did not know whether the jurymen themselves, for the very same cause, should not be required to stand • for he often met with jurymen who seemed marvellously inclined to take a nap. He recollected on one occasion a very bulky gentleman, who weighed about twenty-five stone, who had been summoned as a juryman, and who, after being sworn and seated, said to the person next him, " I'm sure I shall go to sleep, so take this," giving him a pin, "and when you see me going off, just prick me with it." lie presently after dozed off, but the person who held the pin, not knowing his temper, refrained from using it, and let him slumber till he was aroused by the beadle, when he became quite enraged at not having been " pricked" by the gentleman he had appointed to that office, and he was with difficulty pacified. At an inquest at Harrow, some months since, the beadle was obliged , during the in q uir y , to be continually handing snuff to the jury to enliven them ; and at a more recent inquest he held in Marylebone, after viewing the body, and before any witnesses bad been ex amined, the foreman went home • and on the beadle being sent for him, he actually found him in bed and fast asleep ! To prevent, therefore, the witness's falling into such a lethargic state, he had adopted the plan pursued in all other courts—namely, to make them give their testimony standing. —Herald. From " A Few Notes on Unpaid Letters" we take the following :—" The penny postage has already wrought an ex traordinary change in the public ideas of the value of money. Formerly, according to the old maxim, ninepence was but ninepence ; but even twopence has now become a sum ster ling, to demand which is to stir men's blood as violently as if the said coins were flung in their faces. To put a letter into the post, and an intimate friend to the expence of two pence, was, only the other day, perfectly natural; under the present system it is fiendish. A letter sent free costs the sender a penny ; to receive a letter not prepaid, is to expend double the amount. In the degree of attention shown to this little fact, it is not impossible to find a test of the'principles of mankind—of the whole corresponding portion of creation at least. The last postoffice returns show that there are upon an average 7,654 persons—monsters in the human form, we should rather say—in this metropolis alone, who walk about day from by day, droppin g stampless epistles into ravenous letter boxes,sheer misanthropy — hatred of their fellow-crea tures , which feeling they are pleased to call forgetfulness, stamplessness, or copperlessness, as convenience may dictate.

His present debts amount to £2747, and his assets, good, bad, and indifferent, to £230. At the late Exeter Assizes, sixty barristers were in the Nisi Prius Court in a short time after its opening, being more than double the number of causes on the list. One of the 36 carrier-pigeons despatched from Bayonne the other day reached Liege, a distance of 300 leagues, in 24 bout s. Three suicides by respectable persons, brought about by gambling, and other pecuniary embarrassments, took place in Lisbon last week. - - INCREASE OF EminnATioN.—Arrived at Quebec, to the 24th July, 22,577 emigrants. To same period last year, 18,280. Increase 4,297. - , Mr. Green, the aeronaut, made a nocturnal aerial voyage in the Nassau balloon on Monday from Vauxhall Gardens, London, and alighted at Barking, in Essex. UNITED STATES STEAMERS.—II is confidently reported that the keels of• four or live government steamers will be laid immediately, viz : two at Charleston, one at New York, and one at Philadelphia. During the last week, Dr. Bowrinf , has twice addressed the Working Men's Association at Exeter, " for the pur pose," as a correspondent observes, " of enlightening _them on the three P's—the Principles of Paid Patriotism !" The tailors and other artisans of a village in France have formed a society, the object of which is to prevent the giving of credit to customers who have not paid their debts to other tradesmen in the same line. MORE CIVILIZATION.—A man named Cutler, a labourer in Lyme, Connecticut, threatened the life of his employer, Dr. Noyes, last Tuesday evening. in the attempt to arrest him, the sheriff, named Huntley, was shot.—Arnerican paper. Two swallows, lately entered a room in the house of Mr. Dorman, at Pickworth, Rutland, by the chimney, built their nest in a tea-saucer on the chimney-piece, and hatched four fine young ones, which are now nearly fledged. Lord Palmerston has announced to the Anti-Slavery So ciety, that government will appoint no persons to offices under the Crown where slavery and the slave trade exists, who are not decidedly opposed to those systems of crime. There is a talk of a marriage between one of the Sultan's sisters and the son of Mehemet Ali ; the Viceroy seems in favour with the Porte, and magnificent presents are to be sent to him. _ The Grand Duke of Tuscany has instituted a silk fair, which is to be held in Florence during the latter part of September in each year, the 20th of next September being appointed for the commencement, when it is to continue open till the following Saturday. The old and magnificent ruin of Cambridge Castle, the only vestige of the warlike habits of our ancestors remaining in that town, is now levelled with the ground, to make room and furnish materials for the erection of the new county court. A most horrible accident occurred last week in the County of Two Mountnins ; a man, while in a state of intoxication, having fallen into a kettle of boiling potash, had been com pletely dissolved. Search was made for his body, but not the least particle of it could be found.—Canada Times. On the 18th ult. the heavy rains had so loosened the earth somewhere amid the mountains of Switzerland, that a whole grove of trees became detached, and, slowly sliding down, completely planted itself on a field of oats, which it entirely covered. The requisition to the Hon. 0. Duncombe, requesting him to become a candidate for the North Riding of York shire, having received 4000 signatures, has been forwarded to that gentleman, who has accordingly accepted the invitation. The whigs dare not shew fight. A respectable mechanic being tried at Hampton-court for breaking a bough off a tree in Bushy Park, was urdered by the magistrates, instead of the five shilling fine, to draw a large roller over the gravel walk of the Wilderness for half an hour. It behoves conservative members of parliament just now to look sharply after the movements of the Board of Trade — the officials there, faithful to the bidding of their whig masters, would connive at any returns, however false, which might forward the free trade views of the Melbournites. • It is a curious coincidence that the Latin epigram recently recited at Cambridge was on steam-carriages; and that the prize was gained by a worthy scion of the mechanically illustrious house of Boulton—Matthew Piers Watt Boulton, Esq., of Trinity College. PAIXHAN'S GVNs.—All the fortresses on the coast of France are preparing to mount Paixhan's guns. The de struction effected by them on the coast of Syria has induced the War Minister to employ them in all fortifications purely defensive. We shall next hear of their being mounted upon the walls of Paris. A BLIND BARGAIN.—A distinguished field-officer, totally blind, was led to the hymeneal altar last week, by a bloom ing bride, " fat, fair, and forty." Besides her personal at tractions she gives her happy bridegroom a fortune of not less than £30,000. Ladies' ages are now, unfortunately, accurately ascertained by the census returns.—Limerick Chronicle. The Queen Dowager of Spain has removed from the Palais Royal to her new residence in the Rue de Courcelles, Fau bourg de Route; her private money-chest, which is of solid iron, encrusted with coral and jewels, was removed last week ; many Spanish families have taken houses, or apart ments, in the immediate neighbourhood ; the King of the French has delivered to her Majesty a key of the park of Mousseau. NEW RAILWAY TRAIN CONTROLLER. — Vienna letters describe a useful invention by an Infantry Captain, Herr Ferdinand Freissauff de Neudegg, of a simple and completely successful apparatus, enabling the conductor of a steam train by pressure on a spring, immediately to detach the carriages from the engine, and instantly stop the former. The appa ratus is said to be further so contrived as to act of itself in the event of the locomotive quitting the line of rails, spon taneously, and at once effecting its separation from the rest of the train. AFFLICTING EVENT.—The Hague papers give the follow ing painful account of the death of Madame Rochussen, the young and amiable wife of the Dutch Minister of Finance. She had lain in a few weeks ago, but was still in a feeble state, when her brother, whom she had not seen for ten years, arrived from abroad. Intending to give his sister an agreeable surprise, he entered her chamber without even her knowing that he was in Holland. The shock was so strong, that Madame Rochussen was thrown into a fainting fit, which terminated in her death, before even the minister could be called from his cabinet to receive her sigh. COTTON CROP IN THE UNITED STATES.—Of the growing crop, it is yet too early to say anything definite. The ap pearances thus far are favourable, but as the plant generally this year is some weeks later than usual, the yield will even more than usual depend upon the season. With late frosts, and an open winter, which will allow more time for picking, a considerable increase may he anticipated on the last crop. the receipts of that crop, at the Southern ports, are now nearly drawn to a close. They amount to 1,577,000 bales, which will probably be increased to about 1,600,000; being a falling off from the preceding year of 580,000 bales. Very little of the new crop can be in market before October. As before observed, however, all speculation upon the quality or extent of this crop is yet premature. — New York American, July 31. CURIOUS STATISTICS OF HEALTH IN NEW ORLEANS. —According to the report of the Board of Health, the whole number of deaths from July 1 to 15, was 165—in a popula tion of upwards of 100,000—of these a large portion is taken from that class that is not enumerated at illl l -the strangers, viz.,—certainly 29—and most probably, 44 others classed as unknown. Only 12 cases of fever—of sudden deaths, ar ticuln mortis, sun-stroke, &c, are 21—a large number, but accounted for from the extreme and unprecedented heat that has prevailed. Of the ages, some remarkable facts are pre sented to those living, three over 100 years of age, two from 70 to 80, and five from 60 to 70. And we have also been in formed, that there was a case of twins, with the exact con formation and connection of the celebrated Siamese twins. — New York paper. THE " OVERPAID" ESTABLISHMENT IN IRELAND. — From the last published report of the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners in Ireland, it appears that the stipends paid to the 36 licensed curates of Dublin amounts to £2,013 19s. 4d. ; while the salaries to commissioners, secretary, treasurer, and clerks is £6,262 3s. 6d. 'Thus we perceive that these lay gentlemen, a few hours a day at their writing desks, appro priate to themselves £4,248 14s. 2d. more than all the licensed curates in Dublin receive for their toilsome and continual labours. The report of these Irish Commissioners is cer tainly important in one respect, as it serves to show how the Irish Church has been plundered and her revenues despoiled for the purpose of glutting Popish hatred and the cupidity of Whig-Radical partisans. The entire amount of the salaries paid to all the licensed curates in Dublin gives an average of £55 Bs. 7d. per annum to each ! a sum less than what the lowest clerk of the commissioners receives; and considerably lower than what a respectable butler or footman costs any of three salaried commissioners who have entertained us with the report from which we extract our figures. INVESTMENTS IN IRELAND.—It is evident a more fa vourable opinion is entertained by the capitalists in England of the value and safety of property in Ireland; a re-action arising out of the favourable result of the elections is too palpable to be mistaken. To corroborate this we mieht mention that in one single case Mr. George Robins. who had announced, three months ago, the sale of £150,000, of free hold farms, to be sold in July, had apparently abandoned the idea altogether, at all events for a long period ; instead of which we now perceive by our journal of to-day, that he has fixed so early as the ensuing month to introduce to the moneyed world some of the finest properties in that country. In this fine property is necessarily i nc l u d e d v ery considerable politicalinfluence : to illustrate this fact it need only to be mentioned there are 170 public houses, and dwellings in the borough town of Mallow, with the power to create sufficient to render a seat perfectly secure. it is, in fact, no longer in doubt or uncertainty that ren t s are pa id i n fi n it e l y more re gularly in Ireland than in England, and yet the land there sells to pay a clear 4 per cent. atter every possible deduction, and in England little more than three. We have heard it whispered, that the large sales alluded to in this paragraph, must, from circumstances over which there is no control whatever, be sold to the highest bidders. All these great sales come off at Gresham's fine hotel in Sackville-street, Dublin.—lrish Paper. Latitude2,l ho t .

A S. , saw a large ship bearing north c i o a rou ar r being steering about S. E. She attr a cted g able to di scern someth i ng b etween her our notice main and fore-masts, which bo re an unusua l appearance fofcriuoransotihtsiii:cpea,n t and she seemed to be distant about six or eight miles. At half-past nine two of the men reported to the captain, who (w u ith myself) was below, that they had seen two rockets go pint he direction in which we had last seen the vessel. As the captain had not seen the rockets himself, he did not feel sufficiently confident of their having gone up to induce him to put immediately about ; but in about another half-hour he and myself saw another rocket in the same di rection, when he immediately altered his course and steered for the vessel. After keeping a northerly course for nearly an hour, two more rockets were distinctly seen from the bows, and we immediately after made the vessel, seemingly about half a mile ahead. The captain directly hove to, and hoisted a light. We could then see that she was a large three-masted Upon showing our ligh t, she stood away from us directly vessel, with apparen tl y more sail in her foremast than aft. north, and we stood after her for an hour, when we lost sight of her, and again stood on our course. At daylight it was unfortunately so thick we could not see more th an a s hi p ' s length. and when it clea red up thing was to be seen of her, nor did we see her again. Tlie thoroughfare of the Thames tunnel is almost com pleted, the directors having passed through it on Thursday. Some land in Glasgow was sold last week at the rate of £l3OO per Seotcli_acre. Lord Wharncliffe has laid the foundation stone of a new church at Thurgoland, Yorkshire. REPRESENTA.TION OF BRADFORD.—The death of Mr. W. C. Lister, the newly-eleced member for Bradford, causes a vacancy in the representation for that borough. Mr. Hardy won the last contest by a triumphant majority. We trust that his friends will again exert themselves, and seat, in like manner, a firm supporter of the constitution. ARRIVED.-- Columbine,.

Mr. .1. Sturz, the active negotiator of this contract and enterprise with the government of Brazil, is advantageously known in connection with other projects conducive to the promotion of the material interests of that country, and ac cording to late accounts, is about to obtain the concession of peculiar privileges for the navigation of the great river Ama zons by steam. MISCELLANEOUS A. Turkish gentleman is appointed to H.M.S. Monarch It is said that the celebrated singer Madame Pasta has lost all her large fortune by the failure of M. Geymuller, the banker, of Vienna. An Egyptian goose—a very rare bird in this part of the country—was a few days ago shot at Wark, on the south side of the Tweed, by Lord Ossulstou's gamekeeper. All the accounts received • from Asiatic Turkey concur in describing the harvest as the most abundant remembered for several years. A church rate at Cheltenham was carried last week by a majority of 329; one thousand two hundred and twenty-six votes having been polled in favour of the church. Serious riots took place akNantwich last week, in conse quence of three women, named Dodd, having given their evidence against a man, named Burn, at the Chester Assizes, who was convicted and sentenced to a year's impri sonment for assaulting some conservative voters for Messrs. Egerton and Tollemache. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. W. Morgan, 8.A., Curate of Todlnorden, Lancashire, has been presented by a detachment of the 78th' Highlanders, (for some time stationed in that district) with a bible and prayer book, beautifully bound in purple silk velvet, with gold clasps, labels, &c., having on the inside of the cover of both books the following inscription in gold lettering— " Presented to the Rev. W. Morgan, 8.A., by a detach ment of the 78th Highlanders, as a grateful acknowledge ment of his kind solicitude for their christian welfare. Tod morden, May 29th, 1841." The.isubscription for the above commenced with the private soldiers, after which the serge ants and corporals took it up most warmly ' • the officers not knowing anything of the matte r until it was finally arranged. The Journal du Havre mentions, as a proof of the dis tressed state of the colonial sugar trade, that a vessel has just come into that port from Guadaloupe in ballast, not having been able to obtain any freight in sugar, the prices there being such as would have caused a loss bo the growers. On Saturday two boys, brothers, belonging to Calderbank, went out along the braes in that district for the purpose of collecting the wild berries of the season; but not return ing in the evening, an alarm was spread, but they were no where to be seen, till, on farther investigation, it; the waste proved to be an old coal-pit of considerable depth, into which the hapless brothers had fallen. The bodies were speedily got out, but life had long been extinct. CORK COUNTY ELECTION.—Mr. Wratigham's opinion has been received, and we believe we are correct in stating, that, according to that opinion, a clearer or stronger case for the voidance of an election never was presented than that with which it is in the power of Messrs. Leader and Long field to go before a committee.—Constitution. Emigration is still going on to an immense extent from Glasgow to South Australia. The majority of the emigrants are of the agricultural class, among whom are a considerable number of young females. The following distressing occurrence took place lately at Eaux Chaudes, a watering-place in the Basse Pyren6es. A gentleman and his wife were taking a walk in the environs, and came to a chasm between two rocks. The lady dared her husband to leap over it. Being a better judge of dis tances and of his own powers, he at first declined, but, piqued by.her reproaching him with cowardice, he made the spring, and fell into the space between. When taken up it was found that his back was broken, and in a few hours afterwards he expired. WARLIKE NEWS.—In the afternoon of Friday it was con fidently asserted in the city, by generally well informed and most respectable merchants, that five ships of war had been ordered to proceed immediately to the coast of the United States, and that they were there joined by ten other vessels of her Majesty's navy, from foreign stations. The object of the alleged mission of this armament to the American shores, it was added, was to receive Mr. Fox, should the refusal of the renewed demand for the release, which it is said he is in structed to make, of Mr. M`Leod, compel the British repre sentative to withdraw from Washington, and afterwards to adopt such hostile proceedings as may be deemed indispen sable for the vindication of the honour of the British crown, which has been so wilfully and wantonly attacked by the American people and government in the person of its subject —Alexander M`Leod.—Morning Herald.—[The Sun gives a flat contradiction to this statement.] SALE OF THE ADELAIDE GALLERY, LONDON.—Messrs. Foster and Sons sold on Thursday the highly interesting, rare, and valuable objects of art and nature, at the Adelaide Gallery, Lower-arcade, Strand, together with the fittings , fixtures, furniture, and improvements belonging to the pro prietary. Among the more remarkable objects may be no ticed Perkins' steam-gun, the electrical eel, Sharp and Ro berts' power-loom, Perkins' celebrated machine for showing the compression of water, a high-pressure steam-engine of three-horse power, several working models of steam and other engines, powerful air-pump, Galloway's rotatory rail way in operation, Pritchard's achromatic compound micro scope, Troughton and Sims' standard barometer, variety of philosophical, electrical, chemical, optical, pneumatic, hy draulic, and hydrostatic machines, engines and apparatus, cosmorama, dissolving views, magnets, an organ by Flight, and a vast variety of items, curious, scientific, and valuable, originally cost upwards of .£2o,ooo—sold for £7OO. ANOTHER COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—On Tuesday morning an explosion took place ,in a coal pit, at Haswall, only two miles from Thornley, where the explosion, attended with most calamitous results, occurred on the preceding Thurs day. Haswell is about ten miles from Sunderland, on the railway line to Hartlepool. About two o'clock on the Tuesday, a man named Lotheringcon, a deputy overman, went down into the pit to examine if it was in a safe condition previous to the second shift of men commencing work. Some men who belonged to the first shift had not then left. On examining the north district, he found a bracket broken, and in attempting to repair it he removed it so as to cause an es cape of inflammable gas, which exploded at the candle he held in his hand, arid he was instantaneously killed. Four other men who were working in the same neighbourhood were burnt, one of them very severely, and he is not yet out of danger. On 'Wednesday evening an inquest was held be fore I'. C. Maynard, Esq., coroner, and a verdict of " Acci dentally killed" returned. WHEAT HARVEST IN THE UNITED STATES.—The wheat harvest, it may now be confidently said, will yield more than an average crop, notwithstanding partial failures in Virginia, in Pennsylvania, and in the States. Small parcels of the new crop at the South have already come into market, and been sold for from 118 to 125 cents a bushel. The product of the United States in bread, corn, and other vegetable food, is thus stated in the recent census Bushels of Wheat raised in the U. S. 76,174,849 ------ Ditto v Rye V 17,037,600 Ditto Indian Corn 297,155,658 Ditto Oats Ditto Buckwheat Ditto Barley Ditto Potatoes From the data here furnished, making a fair allowance for the states and territories not included in the statement, it appears that nearly four bushels and a half of wheat are raised for each inhabitant ; of other grain, nearly thirty bushels to each inhabitant ; and of potatoes, about six bushels and a half to each inhabitant. Making an aggregate of forty one bushels of grain and potatoes to each inhabitant, in cluding men, women, and children, bond and free.—New York American of July 31.

The sales of the week are 18,700 bales, of which exporters have taken 1100 American, 400 Surat and 50 Bahia, and speculators 400 American. The market closes *d. per lb. lower than this day week in American, id. in Surat, and Brazils not much enquired for. Prices nominal. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 14. We have no change in our Cotton market today; the same gloomy feeling and inactive demand prevades it, as for some time past, and the unseasonable weather, coupled with the badness of trade, is the all absorbing topic of conversation. The quantity sold to-day is estimated at 2500 bales, at yesterday's prices, with a very uneven market, varying id to jd 13 lb in the different broker's stocks. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 16, Our market, with a somewhat improved and more general de mand, doubtiess caused to a certain extent by the improvement in the weather. Speculators have operated to the extent of 800 bales, which with the supply of 600 to exporters, and 3500 to the trade, makes a total of near 5000 bales, at last week's prices, with a de cidedly better feeling in the market, which would be lasting with a corresponding duration of the fine weather. COTTON MARKET-WEEKLY REPORT. The unsettled state of the weather, together with the gloomy accounts from the manufacturing districts, have had a very un. favourable effect upon the market, several of the holders having evinced great disposition to sell. Priees of American generally have declined id per lb., Brazil and Surat ad, whilst Egyptian, which is offered freely, has been sold at a decline of id to ad per lb. Exporters have taken 1100 American, 250 Bahia and 400 Surat, and 400 American have been taken on speculation. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 6th to the 12th instant. inclusive.

The forte of the deceased actor lay in the delineation of Irish and Scotch characters; but he principally excelled in the former, having originally pitted, at Covent-garden Theatre, against Jack Johnstone, the celebrated Irish comedian. He was a Scotchman by birth, but went early to London, where the present Sir Peter Laurie and himself served their apprenticeship in the same establishment.
