The two first trains itants of Macclesfield, Stockport, and that neighboured, started on Saturday morning at the appointed time, with resolved to embrace the earliest opportunity of their assem about 500 passengers, all on the qui vive to witness. the won- tiling on duty to present them with a new set of standards, ders of the metropolis and its vicinity. The scene before starting from Edge-hill was highly animated and interesting, with, from the excellent arrangements, an absence of all con fusion. Parties of "kindred spirit" were accommodated in respective carriages, all clovd, and most respectable in every point. Yesterday morning the last trains appointed set off with equal punctuality, and with equally good order. They conveyed upwards of 600 persons, so that above 1,100 have taken advantage of the " cheap trip." The management of the whole affair has certainly been excellent, and reflects great credit on the contractors, who have spared no exertion to render their " guests"—for so they may be called—com fortable and happy. We have already learned that all the parties got safe to London, and are much gratified by the excursion. It is somewhat remarkable that though much continuous rain has lately fallen, the weather, both on Sa turday and yesterday, was exceedingly propitious for the two trips. as a testimony of respect both to the officers and men for the protection they had afforded in that part of the country ; and yesterday was the day appointed for the presentation. Shortly before ten o'clock the regiment, which, including officers, is upwards of 600 strong, arrived at their usual ex ercising ground, on Bootle Sands, a short distance to the north of the two columnar laud-marks. The day was line, and a great concourse of persons. from the town and neigh bourhood soon congregated on the spot to witness the inter esting ceremony. Eventually, indeed, the scene presented much of the appearance of a race-course, with the additional attraction of the river and the outward channel, enlivened by vessels moving to and fro, from the fishing-boat to the ship, the former gliding under the impulse of light airs from the S.W., and the latter, " homeward bound," coming up ra pidly without sail, by the aid of steam-tugs and the tidal stream. • ILLEGAL APPROPILIATION.-011 Saturday Wm. Coward, shopman in the service of Mr. Roach, Whitechapel, was placed at the bar of the Polic'.court. It appeared that, on Thursday last, Mr. Horsfall, soon after leaving the Railway Station, in Lime-street, missed his pocket-book, containing two £5 notes. The pocket-hook was picked up in Lime street, by a boy, named Farrar. This boy requested a com panion, named Jones, to take one of the notes and see if it were a good one. Jones, who was in the service of Mr. Roach, showed it to the prisoner, who told him it was a had one. Farrar, boy-like, exchanged the note with Jones for a steel purse. The circumstances of this barter transaction were afterwards mentioned by Jones 'to the prisoner, who took the note into his own possession, and ordered Jones to go to Farrar and get the other note from him, or demand his purse back. Jones obtained possession of the other note, and gave it to the prisoner. Farrar, on his arrival at home, told his father what had occurred, and the latter ordered him to go and get the notes back. He was referred by Jones to the prisoner, who told him that the notes were burnt. The prisoner had, subsequently, changed one of the notes at a shop in Whitechapel. In his defence, the prisoner said he did not know whether the notes were good or bad. He was committed for trial. Shortly after eleven o'clock a number of gentlemen form ing deputations from the several towns and places that had contributed to the intended .present, came on the ground in three open carriages, bearing the Standards, together with a handsome trumpet. A number of other carriages, gigs, &e., private and hired, also came up, filled with company, and the interest of the scene continued to inersoase. The populace was kept a short distance back, by riders, both for their owa safety and for the better maintenance of sileuce during the ceremony. The deputations were from Macclesfield, Con gleton, Stockport, Sandbach, &c., including the mayor of the first named town, and other t entlemen of respectability: We also observed present, and in full uniform, Col. Faulk ner, and his adjutant. The yeomanry, all well mounted and in handsome blue uniform, were drawn up in a circle, with an opening on the east, at once to gratify the public by a sight of the proceedings, and to admit of the ingress of the parties who were to take a part in them. Shortly before 12 o'clock the several carriages containing the deputations, and others, drove up nearly to. the centre of the circle, and took their station to the west of a stream of salt water forming its diameter, across which those not mounted, or in vehicles, had to find their way as they best could. The carriages ranged in line, with that in which was Mr. Proctor, the Mayor of Macclesfield, in the middle, he being appointed to present the flags. Colonel Egerton, and his principal brother officers, including Captain Hill. (one of the heroes of Wa terloo,) under whose active superintendance, we learn, the regiment has attained its superiority and discipline as a yeo manry corps, took their places a short distance to the west ward, facing the carriages, the Colonel in advance. AN IMPUDENT ROGUE.-011 Saturday last, Wm. Medcalf was placed at the bar of the Police -court, charged with hav ing defrauded Mr. Baugh, cigar -manufacturer, of 30, Ward street, of six boxes of cigars. It appeared that, about one o'clock on Thursday last, the prisoner went to Mr. Baugh's warehouse, and stated that he knew a gentleman who wanted three boxes of cigars, and asked if some one might accom pany him to South John-street, to see whether the gentle man approved of them. On beit b er told that one of the men should go with hi m , h e asked for three more boxes of a better quality, saying the gentleman might probably take them. Having obtained the cigars, he left the warehouse, accompanied by William Eggars, one of the men, who was told not to part with the goods without obtaining the money. When they got outside. the prisoner took the boxes, saying he would carry them, and that he (Eggars) might carry the umbrella, as it was raining. They proceeded to the Claren don-rooms, South John-street, which they entered at the south side. On the first landing, the prisoner, pointing to, one of the offices, said, "This is the office." He then took the cigars and went into the office, saying'it would look fool ish for them both to go in, so that Eggars had better remain outside. In about a minute he returned for the invoice or certificate, with which he went away. Eggers waited about half an hour, and the prisoner not making his appearance, he bean to suspect he was duped, and then found that there were two different ways out. The prisoner, who had offered the cigars for sale to a publican, was apprehended by police officer Mather (390), with one of the boxes in his possession. The others he left with a publican in Scotland-road. The cigars having been identified, the prisoner was committed to take his trial at the assizes. .. . . The MAiolt of MACCLESFIELD then rose , an d, address ing Colonel Egerton, expressed the diffidence he felt in approaching the task that had devolved upon him. Sensible as he was of the honour conferred upon him in selecting him to perform it, he felt his inadequacy to give expression to the feelings of the very respectable gentlemen who had de puted him ; and he I..mented that the Lord-Lieutenant was not present to address them, which would have given him infinite satisfaction had his health permitted. He (the Mayor) had to present the colours around him, as a small but genuine token of the sense of gratitude and respect which the donors entertained for the protection they enjoyed from the valuable services of the regiment. Riots and dis turbances had ravaged the manufacturing districts, to which those he represented belonged, last year; and to the disci pline, and the energetic but forbearing condtret of the yeo manry, were they indicted for their suppression. He well knew the colours he presented would be highly prized by those to whom they were presented ; and that if occasion called, each and all of them in-whose care they ivere'would act like the gallant soldier at Cebu!, who wrapped the flag of his country around him, and would sooner part with his heart's blood. They, however, were a force instituted to protect rather than to destroy; not to provoke hostility, but by temperance and firmness to suppress it where it unhap pily arose; and he would best express the feelings of those who conferred this present, by impres'sing this upon them. He made some further appropriate remarks, in the course of an eloquent and feeling address, (of which this is from the place and circumstances, a very inadequate sketch,) and concluded by presenting the five colours, all of them beauti fully embroidered oa crimson silk, and the trumpet, with an embroidered royal standard attached—the whole of which were received separately by the cornets. COLONEL EGERTON drew up and returned thanks in a neat and brief soldier-like address. As Lieut.-Colonel of the regiment he begged to ieturn in their name and for himself their most sincere thanks for so magnificent a mark of the approbation of the donors. 'With respect to their services, the addresses they had already received from the several towns more than amply repaid them for all the services they had performed, and this presentation was an additional source of pride to them which called for their warmest gratitude. For himself he felt proud in having a command in a corps whose conduct was deemed worthy of so high a mark of their approbation, and he felt assured that whenever the regiment beheld their colours, they would ever be ready and animated when occasion to come forward like men to conserve the peace, and to afford due protection to life and property. The whole regiment and those in and around the carriages then gave three hearty cheers, while the brass band played the national anthem. The cheering was renewed from the ranks. Three cheers were then given for the Mayor of Mac clesfield, the other gentlemen of the deputation, and those whom they represented. TELEGRAPHIC CLOCK.—We have read with interest a small pamphlet by Mr. H. Hughes, portrait painter of this town, entitled, " Telegraphic Clock : a mode of showing Time by attaching Lights or Reflectors to the Pinion and the Hands of the Clock," in which he details, what we con ceive to be, a very admirable and simple invention of his own, and for which he has taken out a patent: He com mences by noticing the importance of town clocks generally to the public, as both useful and ornamental, and the imper fection of the plan hitherto adopted to illuminate them so as to be distinctly seen at any considerable distance— arising from the too complicated na t ure o f t h e di a l, an d the mode of lighting the whole circle. He states that on the best of the present illuminated clocks the time cannot be told beyond the distance of 200 yards; but by the plan suggested it can be distinguished 2000 yards : or, in fact, as far as lights can be distinguished, whatever their distance may be. The principle (he proceeds) is this :—" The only visible signs necessary canals! of three points to the exclusion of dial, hands, figures, and marks of every description. At night these points are lamp—gas burners. These will bear the same relation to each other as the extremities of the hands hold to each other, and to the centre, on the old system. The point marked in the centre will be stationary, and those pointing out the hour and minute, respectively, will revolve round the former ; and the situation of these is to be ells , covered by the assistance of the perpendicular and the hori zontal lines, supposed to be distinctly marked in the mind of every observer above the age of infancy. After noticing the present somewhat confused system, by which the situation of a given hour on the circle is nut discoverable by the figure (in Roman numerals—some of them upside down, and some sloping) but the figure by the situation—so that the hand does not show the hour, but the hour the hand,—he remarks that the new place requires no guide besides the centre. 'l'he plan it will have been anticipated, consists of the application of three lamps or light, one stationary in the centre, and the other two so placed that they will revolve, describing respec tively the circles made in the ordinary mode by the points of the hour and minute handle. The lamps, or gas lights, may be either all white, or for the sake of greater distinctness, the centre one may be white; that at the extremity of the hour handle, red; and, that at the extremity of the minute hand yellow ; or any other colours may be adopted that fancy may suggest, provided they be sufficiently bright and distin guishable. Our author does not describe his idea minutely, but it is clearly conveyed by diagrams. As the outer lights revolve round the central stationary one (as planets round the sun) and as the hour light is a little nearer to the centre, than the mintle light, it appears evident that any one accus tomed to see a clock or watch can readily tell the hour by the relative pbsitions of the three. Thus if they form the points of a right angle, the base of which is horizontal from left to right, the centre light at the point of the rect angle, and the other over (forming the perpendicular) it can not be mistaken, though no figures whatever are used, that it is precisely three o'clock. If the base be from right to left, it is of course nine o'clock ; if all three lights be per pendicular, and nearly equidistant, it is six; if perpendicular with the two outer ones, close together, it is twelve; and the intermediate hours all round may be observed betweeu each quadrant with equal accuracy. The plan is applicable to the present clocks, it being an improvement in addition rather than an alteration. The light of St. George's illuminated clock may be seen from many distant points, as for instance from the top of Lime-street; but it only shows as an illu minated globe, or theatrical moon. The bands or figures cannot be distinguished till we are half-way up Lord -street. But by our author's plan it is quite clear to us that the hour could be told from Lime-street, or a more distant point, par ticularly if the circle, or dial, were a little larger. The ex pense of fitting up a public clock in this way will, it is stated, be comparatively very small. We have seen a model of the simple apparatus for conveying the gas to the points of the indicators and the central spindle, and it may be readily ap plied. "Neither fire, nor even a gas pipe, need be conveyed through the edifice at all; and the quantity of gas consumed will not be a tithe of what is required on the old (or present) plan." The same principle is applicable to clocks or time pieces not illuminated by the use of small convex mirrors, one in the centre of the dial, and one at the extremity of each hand, which would reflect the sun or sky, and would be seen from a distance much greater than that at which the hands become distinctly visible. But we must refer for further de tails to the pamphlet itself, the price of which is trifling— heartily recommending that a trial of Mr. Hughes's plan may be made on some one of our public clocks. The regiment afterwards went through various movements and evolutions, with great precision, in presence of the gen tlemen and their friends and a large concourse of persons, few of whom quitted the sands until the termination of the " review." At about two o'clock they returned to the town, a great number of them accompanying the gallant colonel and officers to the Adelphi Hotel. _ An excellent dinner was in the evening partaken of by th officers and their friends at the hotel. Amongst the guests were our own worthy mayor. The Colonel introduced two fat bucks from Tattoo Dell, and a supply of excellent chum paigne—eonsiderately giving an order at the same time to " mine host" for an equal quantity for the officers mess table. Mr. Swinnerton, of Macclesfield, who has taken au active interest in the procuring and presenting of the colours, and a number of other gentlemen from Cheshire, &c. were also present. We need scarcely say that the evening was passed in that conniviality, good-feeling, and nationality, which ought ever to characterize meetings in which the soldier and the citizen are happily combined. There will, we learn be a grand review of the yeomanry on the sands to-morrow. MEETING OF THE BIRKENHEAD POLICE COMMISSIONERS, An adjourned meeting of the Police Commissioners of Birkenhead was held in the Town-hall, last night, for the purpose of completing the rate-beok previous to the election of new members, which takes place this day. The following gentlemen were present :—Messrs. William Jackson, Win. Cole, Alexander Kerr, D. Appleton, Tho Mas Gilbertson, J. R. Pim, Christopher Bentham, D. M`Nicoll, Win. Horner, John Laird, and M. N. Rayner. Mr. WILLIAM JACKSON, vice-chairman, presided. Mr. MALLABY, law-clerk, produced the rate-book as amended up to the present period, and said he believed a great deal of pains had been taken that all the occupiers should be included in it who were not is the original rate. The hook shewed an immense number of additional tenants and changes since the original rate was made. Mr. J. S. JACKSON.—Have you any idea of the increase ? The CHAIRMAN.—That book will not give a correct ac count of the increase. Mr. MALLABY replied, that the amended rate showed an increase of 47U occupants if the changes were included, and 0f . 130 entirely new ratepayers. _ The CMAIRNIAN said •it must be very gratifying to the commissioners to find that there was a continued increase in the number of buildings. It appeared, from a statement be fore him, that there were now being erected in Birkenhead 131 new houses, which would produce an segregate nett rental of £2,745 per annum, after deducting £74 per cent. from the rack rent; so that it might be said there were buildtpgs now erecting in Birkenhead which would produce £3,000 a year. Mr. 13EN TH AM thought the statement which p'recedeil that of the Chairman the more satisfactory, namely, that thera were 130 new ratepayers, because it showed that the houses were not only erected but tenanted. The CIIATitMAN explained that he had spoken only of the houses now in progress of erection. The amended rate-book was then passed round the table, and it was signed by all the committee present; after which, The CuAxamAN said this in fact was all the business, in order that all parties might have an opportunity of recording their votes to-morrow—every person who lived in a house in Birkenhead, provided he had paid his rates. Mr. Put inquired whether the rates might be paid to morrow ? The CHAIRMAN.—Yes. Mr. Plan.—Then we shall get in a good sum from the ar rears not paid The CHAIRMAN.—Yes; a contest will enliven the scene, and be the means of inducing many to pay their rates who might otherwise be tardy. Mr. J. S. JACKSON.—I think a contest is very desirable on every occasion, if it were only that we should get the money paid. The CIIAIRAIAN having expressed a hope that the new commissioners would work together for the good of the township, as amicably as that had which was now defunct, the proceedings terminated. The contest is expected to be a severe one. The poll com mences this day at ten o'clock, and will close at four. There are eight vacancies to be filled up. one of which is caused by the resignation of Mr. John Walker, and the other seven by the retirement in rotation of Messrs. Pim, Cole, Pritchard, Ravenscroft, Raines, Laycock, and Green, several of whom will be again put in nomination. Two or three lists of can didates have been put forth, and much canvassing is going THE FUNDS TFIUUSDAY EVENING.—There was a better market for Consols to-day, and prices recovered nearly one cent., al though a trifling reaction occur r ed t owar d s th e c l ose of busi ness. For the account the quotation, after being as low as 93, rallied to 944 ; but left off at 934 buyers. The money price is quoted at 934, though in strictness there should be none, the shutting, including the New 34 per Cents., taking place to-day and to-marrow, previous to the payment of the July dividends. The cause of this briskness in business at higher prices in the English market bras been the belief that the prevention of the large assemblies which are now dis cussing the merits of the repeal question in Ireland may be easily effected. Bank Stock closed 178 to 180 ; India Stock, 264 to 266 ; 3 per Cents. Reduced, 924 to 93 ; 31 per Cents. Reduced, 1001 to 4 ; Npw 31 per Cents., 1004 to 1014 ; and Long Annuities, 124 to 4. FRIDAY EVENING.—The funds have advanced about per cent. to-day, though there was not much disposition to transact business. Confidence increases in the measures of government to tranquillize the state of affairs in Ireland. Consols for the account left off 924 ex. dividend; Bank Stock, 1784 to 1791; Exchequer-bills, 14d. issue, 455. to 50s. pm. ; the advertised, 355. to 40s. pm. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 934 to I ; Three-and-a-Hall per Cents. Reduced, 1004 to 4; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1014 to 4; Long Annuities, 121 ; India Bonds, 475. pm. ; and India Stock, 265 to 267. In the foreign market there was also little movement in prices. The latest quotations were Spanish ActiveQ 194 to ; the New 281 to ; Portuguese Convert e d, 40 4 to 414; Mexican, 284 to 29 ; the Deferred, 8 to 4 ; Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., 54 to -4 ' • the Five per Cents., 994 t o 100 ; Danish, 84 t o 86 .; Colombian, 231 to 24 ; Brazilian, 70 to 73; and Belgian, 102 to 103. SATURDAY EVENlNG. — Bwiness concluded at the Stock Exchange at two o'clock according to the arrangement here tofore noticed. There was, however, not much doing. Consols for the opening were 921 to it, which are about the same as yesterday. Bank Stock 1784 to 94. Exchequer Bills at lid. per day 48s. to 525. premium. A slight advance may be noticed in Spanish Stocks to-day, the Threes closing at 284 to 9, the Active Fives. 194 to 20. Portuguese Converted were 404 to 14. Dutch Two-and-a llalf per Cents 54 toi, the Five per Cents 924 to 100. Bel gian 102 to 3. Brazilian 70 to 2. Mexican 284 to 9. Colombian 234 to 4. CORRESPONDENCE, TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stit,—ln the Irish agitator's speech at Cork last week, I observe, for the amusement of his novitiate associates, he likens Sir Robert Peel to a famous Dublin pick-pocket, who, when he h❑d no other pocket to pick, picked his own. There appears to me considerable presumption in .the simile, as, undoubtedly, the expert rogue alluded to is Dan, picking Dan's pocket with Dau's tail.—l am, Sir, your's, &c.. FLANKER. Liverpool, sth June, Bummt; COMPANIES.—We noticed, last week, that Mr. Gladstone had intimated his intention to revive the select committee of 1841, to inquire into the constitution and ope ration of joint-stock companies, especially with regard to in surance companies. This most laudable intention, we regret to stale, was frustrated, in consequence of there being " no house" on Thursday last, on which evening the right hon. gentleman was about to propose the following members as the committee :—Mr. Wm.

THE LANCASHIRE CHARTISTS. — The Court -of Queen's Bench was occupied on Saturday in hearing counsel in sup port of the rule for arres ting the judgment against O'Connor and others. Their lordships took time to consider. CUMBERLAND &WESiIIORZLAN‘ D WIttSPLINGI • The annual Whitsun contests between the wrestlers of I Cumberland and Westmoreland, which was however open to all: England, was held yesterday at the High Park Coffee House. The bowling-green was in excellent condition, and upwards of 2,000 persons were present, amongst whom were many classed as the "first fancy," having been winners of the principal prizes of not only this but of former years. The amount to be contested for was £4O, which was divided into prizes for three classes-Ist. the light weights not t exceed 101. stone-2nd, the middle . weights - those not exceed ing 12 stone, and the heavy weights open to all, and 3rd, the heavy weights open to all. The number of aspirants for these prizes was greater than at any previous meeting, and the ex citement was considerably increased in consequence of a report freeman was about to compete for the prizes awarded to the heavy weights. All the necessary arrangements of weighing, &c., having been completed, the light weights were called on. The number entered was 47, to which 17 blanks were added, to make the number turn out even. The first meeting was of but little importance, but on the second the interest greatly increased, particularly when At kinson, who appeared to be a great favourite, came forward. The third time over the following was the result : FELL. STOOD Thos. Irving, Botcherlev. Wm. Jackson, Mill Bank George Banks, Gilcruis. John Waters. John bison, Carlisle John Atkinson, (lay down.) David Willis. James Jameson. William Tiffin. Thomas Wood. Thomas Robert. Thomas Tweddle. John Robertson. FIFTH TIME OVER. William Jackson. William Kay. Matthew Atkinson. John Ivison. Rd. Capstick, Crossley. Wm. Kay, Bride Clituch Matthew• Atkinson. Thomas Irving. George Banks. Richard Copstick John Waters. SIXTH TIME OVER. Thomas Irving. George Banks. John Waters. George Capstick. The final contest between Irving and Waters was easily settled in favour of the latter, who won two throws suc cessively. The next that came on the green were those whose weights did not exceed 12 stone. Donaldson was decidedly the favourite, but from the late ness it seemed improbable that the contests woad conclude that evening. The umpires were Mr. Pearson and Mr. Robinson. Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., has purchased the pack of Perthshire fox-hounds so well known throughout Scotland. Some patriotic individual, name unknown, Las sent £lOO to Sir Robert Peel, to be applied in the reduction orthe national debt, on the principle " that every little helps." THE LAMBING SEASON.—We have much pleasure in stating that we have received-generally very good accounts of the lambing season from Strathglass and other parts of the country. Although a long and severeish winter was ex perienced, lambs, if not qui a so numerous as in some for mer years, are generally healthy, and the ewes in tolerable condition. From our liehnsdale correspondence, the news is equally favourable in that northern district, Inverness Herald. NEGRO FLyrNa.—The editor of the Boston Mail ridicules Mr. Henson and his aerial steam carriage, and predict* that the first career down the inclined plane will end somewhat like Sambo's first experiment, when he undertook to fly from the garret window with a pair of wings manufactured out of a leather apon. The honest negro struck the ground with his head hard enough to break a sledge-hammer; and spring ing to his feet with a kind of rebound, scratched his woolly pate, exclaiming, " Dem's fuss rate flying ; no bird do bins quicka ; but Golly ! dey's darn hard lighting. WHERE WERE THE WHIGS ?—Stlel iS the question th%t the peruser of the names upon the division, on Wednesday night, in the house of Commons, upon the Arms (Ireland) Bill, is disposed to ask. " Where were the whigs ?” No Lord John Russell figures on either side upon that division, nor any Lord Howick, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Baring, and other whig chiefs. Doubtlessly accident kept them away, or they would surely have recorded their votes in favour of a measure similar to one they themselves introduced a few years since! FOUR FISHERMEN DROWNED.—A number of fishing boats belonging to Greencastle, had arrived at the Isle Bank, on Wednesday morning last, for the purpose of taking cod. After they bad shot their lines, the wind veered round to the north, and a sudden storm arose, the sea at the same time running very high, and breaking over the boats. Tne fisher men determined on hauling in their lines, and returning home; but, unfortunately, one of the boats WtAl unable to accomplish this' and, while the crew were hauling in the lines, she must have either swamped or upset. The sea was so rough that no assistance could be afforded by their fellow fishermen, and the crew, four in number met a watery grave. Londonderry paper. tier Majesty has granted a free pardon to James Foster, coal-merchant, of this town, convicted at the last assizes for the city of tyloucester, of uttering a forged £5 Bank of Eng land note. We have been given to understand that a great difference of opinion as to the verdict prevailed amongst the jurymen; and in order to put an end to the dispute as to the verdict, they tossed up for it ! and the result was unfortunate to the prisoner; but owing to the exercise of that most valu able of all the prerogatives of the crown, the injustice has been as far as possible remedied. Another statement made respecting the jury is, that one of them was a relative of the prosecutor, and that the latter in the event of a conviction became entitled to receive the £5 from the Bank of England! One would have hardly expected such disgrecAl conduct from a jury composed of the residents of our county town Cheltenham Examiner. Hobart-town and Launceston papers have arrived to the 12th of February, but they give no important news. The harvest was plentiful in the southern districts, and reapers are stated to be earning for the season wages at the rate of 13s. per acre. Wheat was ss. Gd. to Gs. Gd. per bushel, and flour was from £7 10s. to £l5 per 2,0001 b. according to quality. ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF DOCTORS' COMMONS.—OR the west side of Thames-street is a house, builded of stone, which belongeth to Paul's Church, and was sometime let to the Blunts, Lord Mountjoy ; but of a later time to a colleg e in Cambridge, and from them to - the doctors of the civil law, and arches, who keep a commons there; and, many of them being lodged there. it is called the Doctors' Commons.— Hower: Lonclinopolis. Time ELECTRO-MAGNETIC CLOCK—One of the most sin gular and useful inventions of modern times is Professor Wheatstone's electro-magnetic clock; the object of which is to indicate, by connection with other clocks, exactly the same time in as many different places, distant from each other, ag may be required. A standard clock in an observatory, for example, would thus keep in order another clock in each apartment, and that, too, with such accuracy, that all of them, however numerous, will beat dead seconds audibly, with as great precision as the standard astronomical timepiece with which they are connected. But, besides this, the subordi nate timepieces thus regulated, require none of the mechan ism for maintaining or regulating the power. They consist simply of a face, with its sec on d, minute, and hour hands, and of a train of wheels which communicate motion from the action of the second hand to that of the hour hand, in the same manner as an ordinary clock train. Nor is this inven tion confined to observatories and large establishments. The great horologe of St. Paul's might, by a suitable network of wires, or even by the existing metallic pipes of the metropo lis, be made to, command and regulate all the other steeple clocks in the city, and even every clock within the precincts of its metallic bounds. When railways and telegraphs ex tend from London to the remotest cities and villages, the sen sation of time may be transmitted along with the elements of language ; and the great cerebellum of the metropolis may thus constrain by its sympathies, and regulate by its power, the whole nervous system of the empire.—Quarterly Review. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.—Of the College of Maynooth I must likewise speak briefly ; for the reason that an accurate description of that establishment would be of necessity so disagreeble, that it is best to pass it over in a few words. An Irish union-house is a palace to it. Ruin so needless, filth. so disgusting, such a look of lazy squalor, no Englishman, who has not seen can conceive. Lecture-room and dining kitchen.and students' room, were all the same. I shall never forget the sight of scores of shoulders of mutton lying on the filthy floor in the former, or the view of a bed and dressing-table that I saw in the other. Let the next May nooth grant include a few shillings' worth,of whitewash and a few hundred weights of soap ; and if to this be added a half score of drill-sergeants to see that the students appear clean at lecture, and to teach them to keep their heads up and to look people in the face, parliament will introduce some cheap reforms into the seminary, which were never needed more than here. Why should the place be so shamefully ruinous and foully dirty? Lime is cheap, and water plenty at the canal hard by. Why should a stranger, after a week's stay in-the country, be able to discover a priest by the scowl on his face and his doubtful downcast manner? Is it a point of discipline that his reverence should be made to look as ill humoured as possible? And I hope these words wilt not be taken hostilely. , It would have been quite as easy and more pleasant to say. the contrary, had the country seemed to me to have been the fact, and to have declared that the priests were remarkable for their expression of candour. and their college for its extreme neatness and cleanliness.—Titntarsh's Irish Sketches. SPLENDID MisznY.—There is recorded (in the lire of Theodore Hook) in more than usual detail, one winter visit at the seat of a nobleman of almost unequalled wealth— evidently particularly fond of Hook, and always mentioned in terms of teal gratitude, even affection. Here was a large company, including some of the very highest names in Eng land ; the party seemed to have remained together for more than a fortnight, or if one went the place was filled itnmedi ately by another not less distinguished by the advantages of birth and fortune ; Hook's is the only untitled name—except a led captain and chaplain or two, and some misses of musical celebrity. What a struggle he has to maintain ! Every Thursday he has to meet the Printer of John Bull, to arrange the paper for Saturday's' impression. While the rest are .shooting or hunting, lie clears his head as well as he can, and steals a few hours to write his articles. When they go to bed on Wednesday night, he smuggles himself into a post-chaise, and is carried fifty miles across the country to some appoint ed " Blue Boar" or " Crooked Billet." Thursday morning is spent in overhauling c orrespondence, in th e d eta il s o f t h e editorship. He with hard driving gets back to the neigh bourhood of the Castle when the dressing bell is ringing. Mr. 1 - look's servant has intimated that his master i s s li g h t l y indisposed ; he enters the gate as if from a s h ort wa lk i n the wood ; in halt' an hour behold hint answering placidly the inquiries of the ladies—his headache fortunately gone at last —quite ready for the turtle and champagne —puns rattle like a hail-shower—" that dear Theodore" had never been more brilliant. At a decorous hour the great lord and his graver guests retire ; it is supposed that the evening i s over — t h at the house is shut up. But Hook is quartered in a long bache lors' gallery with half-a-dozen bachelors of far different cali bre. One of them a dashing young e a rl , proposes what the Diary calls " something comfortable in his dressing room. Hook, after his sleepless night and busy day, hesitates, but is persuaded. The broiled bones are attended by more chain pagne—Ronian punch—hot brandy and water finally ; for there are plenty of butlers and grooms of the chamber ready to minister to the delights of the d istant gallery, ever rnug with swimming, pro ductive of fees to man and ma i d The end is that they play deep, and that Theodore loses a great deal more money ' than he brought with hint from town, or knows how to come at if ty is to be made; he were there. But he rises next trio bewildered head,perceives that he on ally terms, remit a hundred pounds must write instan a dy ul fo a r s r t i h m e n f e n y m o disperse,i ffi eu the fashionable tailor (alias merciless Jew), to whom he dis closes the case, must, by return of post. It is accomplished—the debt is discharged. Thursday comes round again, again he e scapes to meet the printer. This time the printer brines a payment of salary with him, and Hook drives back to the castle in great glee. Exactly the same scent e recursa night or two afterwards. The salary all goes. When the time comes for him at last to leave his splendid friend, be finds that he has lost a fortnight as respects a book that must be finished within a month or six weeks—and that what with travelling e xpences hi t h er and thither.(he has to defray the pr inter's too), end losses at play to silken coxcombs, who consider him as an admirable jack-pudding, and alo as an invaluable pigeon since he drains his glass as well as fills it—he has thrown away more money than he could have earned by the labour of three months in his own room at Fulham, But then the rumble of the green chariot is seen well stocked with pheasants and hares, as it' pauses and passes through town at Crockfords, the Carlton, or the Athenmem ; and as often as the Morning Post alludad • to the noble peer's Christmas court, Mr. Theodore Hook's name closed the paragraph 0f . ," Fashionable Intelligence."- - Quarterly Review, UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

CHURCH OFFERINGS A correspondence has recently taken place between the Lord Bishop of London and the parochial officers of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, London, which has excited very gene ral interest, as well as much speculative (minion_ nmnnosit I.FIIIIVtI. caul kin ga the inhabitants of that district. The circumstances which have called forth the authoritative decision of the right rev. prelate, in his official capacity as bishop of the diocese, are of a somewhat novel description, and the whole proceeding must, at this time more especially, be regarded with attention. It appears that, about five or six weeks back, the Rev. Edward Vix, curate of St. Leonard's parish, received from an anonymous donor a pair of massive silver candlesticks, together with a•a alms basin, finished in a superior style of workmanship, accompanied by a brief note, having neither signature nor address, the wr;• _ .rely expressing a wish that his " offering" might be applied to the decoration of the communion table. On the receipt of this strange communi cation the Rev. Mr. Wix forwarded the articles to the churchwarden's, with the donor's letter, and another from himself, suggesting that the " pious offering" should be entered in the book kept for the record of such acts of muni ficence. The churchwardens, conceiving, perhaps, that they were not bound ex officio to act upon the dictum of the cu rate, resolved to fake the opinion of the other parochial authorities before they incurred the responsibility incident to a formal recognition of the transaction. A meeting of the trustees of the poor was called, at which Mr. J. B. Chees wright, the senior warden, presided. After much discussion the trustees determined on rejecting the "offering," t pressed that determination in formal resolution as follows lid ex- "'That this board regrets that the name of the donor is not made known in order that the candlesticks should be imme diately returned. "That this board consider the donation quite unnecessary and ought not to be received, and request that the same may be immediately removed. "That copies of the foregoing resolutions be transmitted tothe Rev. Edward Wix and to the Lord bishop of London." Mr. Ware, clerk to the trustees of the poor, in compliance with the order of the board, forwarded to the Bishop of Lon don a letter explanatory of the whole proceeding, together with a copy of the resolutions agreed to., The right rev. prelate's reply to the communication is in the following terms : " Sir,—l have to net " London House, May 18. nowiedge the receipt of your letter, by the trustees of the ano a copy of the resolutions agreed to poor in the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch. I beg to observe, that the matter to which the resolution refers is one in which the trustees have no authority. It con cerns the churchwardens,who are to act in the matter as they think fit, subject to the directions of the bishop. " It is doubtful whethee rher nro at,.

Indeed, the production of the ipsissima verba, from one of the Greek ecclesiastical writers, does not affect the question, which is not whether the doctrines enun ciated in the sermon are in accordance with those of any, or all of the fathers, but whether they correspond with the for mularies and articles of the Church of England ; and the au, thorities, we perceive, have pronounced the contrary.] You should withdraw your selves, not from the church certainly, &c.

The manner in which you propose to the laity to get rid of PUseyism, at the time you are maintaining the integrity of the Establishment, is so novel and so un-English, and pro claims so loudly the want of ecclesiastical authority in the church that I marvel even after so much deliberation, you should avow it, and recommend it ! tion i it wei den in these ire to in In conclusion, I would remind you that the Wesleyans have given abundant evidence that they have not sought-their own things. They have not derived help from the grant placed at the disposal of the Committee of Education ! The glory of this rests chiefly, though not exclusively, with the church ! It cannot but be a subject of deep regret to every lover of his country, that on the eve of a civil war in Ireland, and at a season when Scotland is convulsed by a rupture more seri ous in its immediate and remote results than any event that has occurred since the Reformation, her majesty's ministers, prompted by the clergy, should have been so infatuated as to attempt to force upon the nation a measure fraught with mis chief, and whteh an immense multitude, who are entitled to attentioh, denounce as fatal to the civil and religious liberty of the country. The part which the clergy have taken in this measure has done more mischief to the establishment than can be estimated; and if the clergy and government act under.the7influence of prudence and patriotism, they will instanCy retrace their steps, and allow the waters of strife to recede, that the voice of the turtle* may be heard again in the land.
