FOREirIN INMILIOFNCIt UN ITIO§YATES, The packet-ship North America, Captain Lowber, whicii sailed from New York cn the 19th ult., arrived off this port on Saturday night, after a quick passage of seventeen days. She has brought papers four days later than those previously in our possession. There is no precise information given as to Lord Ashbur ton's negociation. The Bangor Courier says, " It is stated here, and is true, that Captain Talcott and his surveying party north of the St. John have been recalled, while the party south of the river will continue their topographical survey. This movement is supposed by some not only to indicate, but almost to prove, thatboundary question' has been agreed upon.' The Portland Argus, described as a paper likely to he well informed on the subject, says, "No settlement of any of the difficulties has yet been finally agreed upon ; but we have no doubt that preliminaries have been arranged, which, if carried into effect, will be satisfactory to Maine. The final result may not be known short of two or three months, but that it will be satisfactory, when known, we have many reasons for believing." And the Journal of Commerce, of the 19th ult., thus speaks of the negociation generally ;—" We have abundant reason to believe, that the negociation with England is substantially concluded, and that, if everything is not finally settled in every particular, nothing has been left in any other than a safe and amicable position." The Tariff Bill, which had been so long before the House of Representatives, passed the house, on the 16th ult., by a vote of 116 to 112. The bill would, it was expected, receive the consent of the Senate by a bare majority of one. Whe ther, that expectation being fulfilled, it would receive the approbation of the President was uncertain. The prevalent opinion seemed to be that it would. - - A bad feeling prevailed between Mexico and the United States. The President, in pursuance of a call of the House of Representatives, had transmitted to the house the corres pondence which had taken place between the governments of the two countries. The tone of the Mexican Minister's let ter is severely censured. The Americans, ridiculously enough, affect to believe that it was written under English dictation, for the purpose of provoking a quarrel with the United States, while Lord Ashburton was negotiating for the amicable settlement of the disputes between England and America ! - - - • No material alteration bad occurred in the money or the stock market in the interval between the sailing of the Cale donia and the North America. Remittances for the payment of the interest on the - Virginia State stock arrived at. New - York on the 15th ult., but too late to be forwarded to Lou. don by the Caledonia, from Boston, on the 16th. The exchange on London was quoted at 1061 to 1061 ; on Paris, 51. 40 to 50f. 45. Accounts from Houston, the capital of Texas, had been received to the 4th ult. The Congress met at Houston on the 28th June. Next day President Houston delivered his message, which was confined principally to a statement of the embarrassed state of the national treasury. The Presi dent is for disposing of the public lands, as the most prompt way of meeting the financial exigency. After briefly review ing the incursions of the Mexicans, and his own course re lative to the preparations for an offensive war, he submits the whole matter to the discretion of Congress, recommend ing especially to their favourable notice the national navy. FRANCE. The great political event of the day at Paris is the election of M. Sauzet for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, and the defeat of Messrs. Odillon Barrot and Dufaure. M. Sauzet was elected by a majority of 227 to 184. In the first ballot there appeared for M. Sauzet 210 votes, for M. Odil lon Barrot 131, and for M. Dufaure only 39. The majority for M. Sauzet not being what is called une majority absolve, a second ballot became necessary, and on this occasion the supporters of M. Odillon Barrot, seeing that the chance for their candidate was utterly hopeless, determined to give their white balls to M. Dufaure. The consequence was that on the second ballot M. Odillon Barrot only numbered 3, while M. Dufaure was enabled to produce 184 votes against the 227 of M. Sauzet. This election is not merely a triumph for M. Sauzet, whose qualifications for the important post of president are not equal to those of M. Dufaure, but it is a glorious tri umph for the present cabinet. won after a pitched battle, in which the friend's of Count Mole, of Messrs. Dufaure and Passe, and of the gauche were combined against it. It fulfils all our anticipations as to the result of this contest, and se cures to the Soult and Guizot cabinet continuance in office, and a decided majority during the remainder of the session. The opposition papers, as it may be expected, endeavour to weaken the value of this success, but it is evident that they have been beaten on their own ground, and that all their attempts to disturb the conservative party are in vain. LITERARY NOTICES. Our Country and our Queen (a new song). Words by J. C. Prince. Composed by Jesse Banning. A patriotic song, full of nationality and good English feel ing. The music snits the words extremely well. This song will make a capital after dinner lyric. " When the soul lights the beam of truth in the eye." A General Volume of Epitaphs, original and selected ; with a large Selection of striking and appropriate Texts of Scripture, and an Historical and Moral Essay on the subject. By a Clergyman. London : J. W. Parker, West Strand. This is a most useful and important work, and admirably indeed has the author, the Rev. B. Riching, made his selec tions. In the essay the rev. author remarks—" To relieve his clerical brethren from the painful necessity of searching a variety of authors for suitable inscriptions, it has been the writer's endeavour to furnish them with a work in which will be found epitaphs to every case of bereavement. He flatters himself also, that this little volume will be found a valuable addition to the Christian's library, as the contents of it can not fail to interest his feelings, and deepen the serious im pressions of his mind. It has long occupied the time and attention of the writer, and, though far from being executed with the ability he could have wished, for a work of such acknowledged utility and importance, he has the happiness of reflecting, that, instead of doing nothing but indulge in fruitless lamentations over the epitaphs which have long dis graced our churchyards, he has done what he could to re medy the evil, which has been so long, so justly, and so uni versally complained of." The subject is decidedly one of very great importance, and one which we trust will for the future meet with more of the serious attention of our clergy, for to them alone is commit ted the responsibility. "To the incumbent," says Sir Her bert Jenner, " belongs the superintendence of the church and churchyard, and it is his duty to take care that no in scriptions be placed there, which can be made the means of disseminating doctrines inconsistent with those of the esta blished religion." The churchyard is as much his freehold as the church itself; and, with such just and legal authority, he is unite as responsible, in the sight of God and man, for what is taught in the one as the other; and if, through any supineness or indifference, he suffers the dumb stone to " teach lies," and to inculcate doctrines at variance with the Word of God and the formularies of our church, it is impos sible for him to vindicate his conduct, or exculpate himself from the evils which may follow his unfaithfulness. Our author again most justly remarks—" Why should not the retired cemetery, or the sequestered churchyard, be ren dered one of the most inviting places for devotional retire ment and serious meditation ? Why should not every church yard become a book of instruction, and every gravestone a leaf of edification ? Why should not the monumental stone, as well as the pulpit, direct us to behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world. * * Let the ministers of our church awake to a sense of their responsibility in this matter, and then we may confidently anticipate that each memorial to the dead will be a suitable address to the living." We can only give room to a few of the epitaphs. " Forgive, 0 Lord ! the parents' wish, That death had spared their son ; And help them from their hearts to say, ' Thy will, 0 Lord I be done.' " God bath taken away my only son from me, but he has given his only Son for me." " Who seeks a world of perfect bliss • Must never fix his heart on this." '- !' says the gardener, as he passed down the walks. who removed that plant? who gathered that flower?' His fellow-servant says, ' The master,' and the gardener holds his peace." " An aged Christian slumbers here, Whose faith was strong—his love sincere. Content he passed life's little span, In fearing God and serving man." " < Go, work to-day in my vineyard." To-morrow thy pulse may be still, and there is " no work, nor wisdom, in the grave." " Let me record one single line— ' Sirners are saved by grace divine.' " " Husband, farewell ! 'tie thou must rear Our babes in God's most holy fear : Oh ! teach their infant lips to pray, And guide them in the narrow way. So may we meet, renewed, forgiven— No wanderer lost—a family in heaven." The Rev. B. Ricking is also the author of that very im portant little work for all our schools, " The Protestant Cate chism, as well as the " Tent and the Altar," which we con sider one of the best and simplest forms of prayer for family Wor ship ; and " Martyrdom of Robert Glover," and a great numbe r of highly useful works, nearly all of which have been brought out at great expense and loss to himself.

In the next place, the new tariff is in operation, and the money market is extremely easy, which will always have a tendency to advance prices; and last, though not least, the accounts from China, and other parts of the world, are more f a vourable. We may als o add, that it is the season of th e year when more is doing , and the "'printers, being very light in stock, will be forced to buy to prepare for the autumn trade. Another favourable feature is, that both in London an stock d the coun t r y the wholesale and retail h ouses are very bare of , for, goods having weekly depreciated for the last b two years, they have only bought from " band to mouth ut, goods being now so very low, they will buy freely for the autumn trade.

Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from the Rajah of Sattara, complaining that he had been most unjustly de throned. The case, he thought, was a hard one, and re quired explanation. Lord FITZGERALD said that papers giving information upon the subject had been laid before Parliament, and on that very night there was a motion upon the subject before the other house of Parliament. Lord BEAUMONT said that unless some satisfactory ex planation were given he should feel it to be his duty to sub mit a motion upon the subject. The Earl of RADNOR then moved the second reading of the bill, which he had himself laid upon the table on a for mer evening, for the free importation of foreign corn. The noble lord repeated many of the former arguments for the repeal of the corn laws, which were replied to by The Earl of RiroN, who moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Lord KINNAIRD supported the second reading at consi derable length, after which, The Earl of RADNOR replied, and the motion for the second reading was negatived without a division. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY. Mr. MACKINNON obtained leave to bring in a bill to im prove the health of towns by preventing the burial of bodies within their precincts. Sir F. BURDETT moved the appointment of a select com mittee to inquire into and report upon the negotiations be tween the Government and Mr. Warner, respecting his in vention. Sir H. DOUGLAS said he was conscious he stood in a particularly delicate situation as respected this question, which the house would permit him to explain. Early after his arrival from his late government, he had been applied to by the government, through the Master-General of the Ordnance, to form, with another officer, a committee to in quire and report upon the value of certain inventions intro duced to the notice of the government by Mr. Warner. He had, with diffidence in his presumed ability, accepted the office, jointly with Sir Edward Owen, upon the terms that the service should be performed gratuitously ; that the experiments should be proppily proceeded with ; that the experiments to be made should be those only which were connected with real service ; that the inquiry should not have reference to any former experiments made ; and that the parties employed in theinquiry should not be required to enter into the question whether there should be any re muneration granted or not to the inventor. The inquiry was noticed by himself and his gallant friend to embrace two branches, the destruction of vessels of an enemy by water, and of forts by land. Upon the assurance that what ever might transpire touching the invention was to be per fectly confidential as respected the officers employed in the inquiry. Mr. Warner assented to these preliminaries. Upon the 21st and 27th of January last they bad inter views with Mr. Warner, in which he had been warned to avoid risking by any explanation the nature of his secret, and the Ist of February was appointed for the exhibition of the effect of his invention. At that date, it appeared Mr. Warner was not ready to attempt his experiments, nor did he call their attention to any fresh appointment whilst Sir Edward Owen continued available, who not until the 25th hoisted his flag.' Time enough had been thus given for pre paration, and if any unnecessary delay had taken place, it was chargeable solely to Mr. Warner himself. (Hear.) The place of Sir Edward Owen had been filled by a very compe tent officer in this description of service, Sir Byam Martin. After some allusion had been made in their inter views with Mr. Warner to the description of experiments they would require to be tried, Mr. Warner at once insisted that they should go into the question of compensation to him for his invention, when they at once explained they had no such authority, and would not enter into the consideration of that question. (Hear, hear.) In consequence of communicating this determination to the Master-General of the Ordnance that officer acquainted them by letter, stating that this circumstance had not affected his previously-entertained opinion as to any danger that might be anticipated to this country from the invention being suffered to get into the hands of any foreign Government. The inventor had refused to offer, in proof of the value of his invention, any of the required experiments until the sum of £lOO,OOO should be guaranteed him—(loud expressions of dissatisfaction.) The opinion of the persons charged with thisinquiry was that the series of experiments should be all practical; for it would not suffice, in their opinion, that Mr. W. should place an ingine in the bottom of a pond of stiil water and draw a barge over it so as to pull a trigger which should communicate with the charge and cause the destruc tion of the barge. They were already well acquainted with an explosive power which would blow a hole in any ship's bottom and sink her; but the difficulty was to apply it to a vessel of the enemy, with a tide ebbing and flowing from 15 to 20 feet elevation and depression, whilst guards were, as usual, rowed round the ship. These were most important considerations—(hear.) Again, if the caisson were buoyant it must rise to the surface, and it would be detected ; or if it were not buoyant it would sink, and prove ineffectual. The question was important, how it was to be suspended at the proper height in the water, so as to secure the whole force of its explosive effect upon the bottom of the vessel to be attacked ; He meant no disrespect to Mr. Warner, but he had no hesitation in saying from all he had seen of that gentle man, that he was truly unlearned, and without scientific knowledge. He might, in his own mind, have divined some such power as he laid claim to, but he believed that was all. Let him, however, if he could, under circumstances of wind and weather, which he (Sir H. Douglas) would point out, try his invention against hulks, which he would provide for him, and against a fort which they had ready selected, and if be could blow up the hulks, and ruin the defences of the fort, displace the guns, and destroy animal life in the shape of two or three hundred sheep—(" hear," and a laugh), which they would place within it,—if Mr. Warner could do this and show at the same time that the power can be used with safety to the user, and that the country in possession of the secret might retain to itself the exclusive benefit of it, then he would say, that unlearned and unscientific as he was, he would have made a high and important discovery, equal, perhaps, to those of Schwartz or Bacon; but until Mr. Warner did this, he (Sir H. Douglas,) judging from the little scientific knowledge which he could claim, must confess himself incredulous as to the existence of any such power.—(near, bear.) Mr. BROTUERTON read some letters to show that Mr. ' Warner had offered his invention to Don Pedro. Sir R. PEEL, said that every facility had been afforded to Mr. Warner both by the late and the present governments; but he bad repeatedly avoided submitting his experiments to the test when the appointment was made for him to do so. After some observations from Captain PLCMRIDOE and Captain PECHELL, Sir G. COCKBURN said that Mr. Warner had never been in the navy. He was not a naval man. On a division the motion of Sir F. BURDBTT was nega- Lived by a majority of 72 to 2. Lord ASHLEY obtained the qualified consent of the go vernment to a motion that the commissioners for enquiring into the employment of children in mines and other branches of industry be desired to make further enquiry as to the number and ages of children employed as apprentices to miners of coal and of iron. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved an address to her Majesty, praying that the case of Mason and others confined in Staf ford gaol might be considered with a view to their discharge. After some discussion the motion was negatived ou a divi sion by a majority of 53 to 30. _ _ Mr. , Humn then brought forward a motion for an enquiry into the charges against the Rajah of Sattara. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion, but the hon. member had no sooner concluded than the house was counted out. HOUSE. OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. • Lord CAMPBELL, moved the second reading of the Bribery at Elections Bill. _ Lord BROUGHAM supported the proposition, and ex pressed a hope that the House of Commons would perceive the necessity of g iving up the trial of controverted elections by its own members. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Several bills on the table were forwarded a stage, after which their lordships adjourned. IVlNraftwor moved that tho haw Ilso ll6 Itoit int 4 6 Otittllrilto6 for tbo oirlatito of OiltlOhiFritig ttia ktiWiittg Obttion " That it having been the unifireal priialep, far many Kell; past, to allow or to charge the wine merchants upon their stocks in hand for any variation of duties that have taken place, this house is of opinion that it is but just and reasona ble that the same course should be pursued in the event of a reduction being made of the duty upon Port wine consequent upon the tariff to be annexed to the treaty with Portugal, notwithstanding the transfer of the collection of the whole of the wine duties to the rustoms." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the mo tion. It was a novel practice to propose a resolution of this description. in anticipation of a treaty the precise terms of which were not yet known. 'rho proposition of the hon. gentleman went to constitute wine an exception to the ge neral rule, which had been applied to timber and other ar ticles. The wine trade had had ample notice; and the mer chants had been enabled to prepare for the alteration, and dispose of their stocks. It must not be supposed that, by taking off the duty on the stock in hand, the country would derive any benefit. After a few words from Lord SANDON and Mr. AGLI ONITY. Sir R. PEEL said he hoped that no consideration would induce the house to agree to the motion. They had recently revised the whole of the custom duties, and exposed the holders of various articles to an unexpected competition, and in no case had a drawback been allowed. (Hear. bear.) The holders of coffee and timber, for instance, were exposed to this competiton, and no drawback was allowed; yet here it was proposed, with reference to the particular article of wine, that they should ender into an engagement to allow a drawback, in the event of a reduction of duty on that article being effected. Was there ever such a premium on fraud as a measure like that would offer? (Hear.) And what check would there be on adulteration ? (Hear, hear.) The motion was negatived without a division. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Sir JAMES GRAHAM stated, in reply to a question from Mr. Blackhurne, that it was his intention to proceed with the County Courts Bill this session, though he might intro duce a clause to limit its duration. The house then went into committee on the Newfound land Bill, and on clause 6 being proposed, Mr. O'CONNELL moved, as an amendment, that the words, " abolish the Legislative Council of Newfoundland as a distinct assembly," be left out of the clause. Lord STANLEY opposed the amendment, and after some discussion the amendment was negatived by a majority of 80 to 18. Mr. O'CONNELL then moved, as an amendment, that the number of Government nominees should be five, instead of ten, as proposed by the clause. Another division took place, and this amendment was also negatived, by a majority of 82 to 21. Lord C. FITZROY then moved, as an amendment, that no nominee member should be allowed to vote on any subject relating to supply, taxation, or finance. Another division took place, and the amendment was negatived by a majority of 79 to 22. The committee then divided upon the question that the clause stand part of the bill, which was carried by a majority of 72 to 25. The house then resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up this day. Mr. O'CONNELL moved for copies of the correspondence between the government and the magistrates and police, re lative to the trial for ribandism at the late Armagh assizes. He spoke at considerable length of the conduct of Hagan, an approver on that occasion, and of his having made by his own confession hundreds of ribandmen, with the sanction of the magistrates, for the purpose of subsequently betraying them. He was sure Lord Eliot would never sanction pro ceedings of such a description. Lord ELIOT could not consent to the production of the papers, for by so doing he would establish a dangerous pre cedent, and might tend to defeat the ends of justice. The report of the trial referred to by Mr. O'Connell was, he contended, inaccurate. If the magistrates were cognisant of Hagan's proceedings, their conduct was altogether unjus tifiable, and it was with considerable reluctance he objected to the production of the papers. After some discussion the house divided, and Mr. O'Con nell's motion was negatived by a majority of 72 to 24. Lord PALMERSTON gave notice that on Monday he would move for copies of any correspondence that had taken place between any member of the house applying for the Chiltern Hundreds and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in which the right honourable gentleman ref used the application, and in which the ground of that refusal was set forth. In reply to a question from Mr. VILLIERS, Mr. B. BARING said that orders had been sent to Singa pore and Penang, directing the governors of tho se p rovinces to transmit immediately a project of law for the immediate abolition nen4 the slave trade. Drafts of projects of law bad Company wedtiothltnhdeiasoamlsoe object. In directors of the East The Inreey to a que s ti on f rom Mr. R.

Other hon. members took the same view, but 'Mr. HANTS and some other gentlemen urged t he necessity of proceeding with it. Sir J. GRA HAM said the bill was one of gr eat importance, an d came before the house recommended- b y the first legal aut h or ities in the kingdom. Under these circumstances, even at this late period of the session, he felt himself upon to proce ed with it. called Sir R. PEEL said that his experience in law reforms con vinced him of the policy of passing any law of improvement while it was in the power of the Government to do so, for it was much easier at a future time to amend a law than to pa ss new one. After some further discussion the house went into com mittee on the bill. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tits DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) Although our supplies, coastwise and from Ireland, are somewhat increased, they are still, generally as of late, very moderate : any deficiency thence, however, is amply com pensated by further superabundant imports of Wheat and Flour from abroad; the former, from all sources, amounting since this day week to 46,191 qrs., the latter to 48,712 barls. and 1928 sacks, as stated below. With the exception of a few light showers, the weather has continued highly favourable for harvest, which, having already commenced in early situations around us, is pro ceeding vigorously. Influenced by the certainty of higher duties, importers are actively preparing to release the stocks of Wheat and Flour in bond, which, if the present year's crop be well saved, will at once bring a large surplus of these articles upon the free market. Having in consequence a liberal show of samples this morn ing, and holders being inclined to give way 2d. to 3d. on the best Wheats, and even more for the lower descriptions, sales were effected to a tolerably large extent, partly for Ireland and distant parts of the interior of this country, and the trade closed rather steadily at the reduction. Flour was more difficult of disposal, and must be noted ls. to ls. 6d. per barrel cheaper than on this day se'nnight. A small parcel of Irish new Oats brought 3s Id to :3s 2d, and good old were rather more saleable, at a decline of Id per 451bs below our last quotations, 2s 10d being the extreme price to-day. Old Oatmeal was in very limited request, at an abatement of is 6d ; and Irish new was scarcely worth 303 per 2401b5. Other articles almost without demand, and nominally cheaper.

The circumstances of the appeal are shortly these :—Lady Hewley was a native of the city of York, and . during the times of religious persecution in the reign of Charles 11. became the protector of the ministers who were ejected under the provisions of the Act of Uniformity. Some years before her death, she being very desirous of devoting a considerable part of her property for the purpose of encouraging " the preaching of Christ's holy gospel by preachers dissenting from the established church, called Godly preachers,' " she executed two deeds, by the first of which she conveyed certain property upon trust, that " out of the rents there should be paid to poor and Godly preachers of Christ's holy gospel such sums as her trustees should think fit." By the second deed she provided for a hospital, which she had already founded, for the maintenance of the poor and their families ; and ordered certain books and regulations to be used and observed in the hospital, particularly the Catechism of Mr. Bowles, who was a dis senter of, great note in York during her life-time, and bad been minister of York Cathedral during the time of the com monwealth. These charities had for a great many years been administered by Presbyterians, and for the benefit of Pres byterians ; but had latterly been diverted, among other things, to benefit the preachers of a class of Protestant dis senters who were stated to be Unitarians. In 1826, when the commissioners of charities inquired iuto this particular charity, a formal complaint was made to them of the applica tions of its funds for the spreading of Unitarian doctrines, a d the resnit was that an information was filed, and the question of the right so to apply the fund was brought under the consideration of the Court of Chancery. The Vice- Chancellor, by his decree, declared that Unitarians were not intended by Lady Hewley to be the objects of her bounty. The parties appealed against this decision, and the appeal was heard at first before Lord Chancellor Brougham, assisted by two common law judges, but the argu ments were not concluded, and no judgment was then given ; and afterwards before Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, assisted by two other common-law judges. When Lord Lyndhurst retired from office. he gave, in pursuance of an agreement long before entered into between the parties, his opinion on the appeal, and affirmed the decree. Against that decree and the affirmation of it the present appeal was brought. The case was argued before the judges, who, in the early part of this year, gay . e their opinions that the admi nistration of the funds of this charity could not legally be vested in the hands of Unitarians. Lord Cottenham now moved the judgment of the case in conformity with those opinions, expressing his own to be that the intention of Lady Hewley, collected from the words of the deed, would be best carried into effect by this decision. Lord Brougham concurred, and said that the decision of the court below must be affirmed, and as usual, unless under special circumstances. none of which appeared in this case, it must be affirmed with costs. Lord Campbell said that, having argued the case as coun sel at the bar, he should abstain from expressing any opinion. Judgment of the court below affirmed with costs. THE LONDON AVERAGES.-A curious circumstance has taken place with regard to the London averages ; the return published on Friday having been issued in the first instance with a blank against the word Wheat, afterwards 6,906 qrs. at 675. 10d. per qr. were returned, subject to an investigation by the board of trade; many rumours are afloat respecting this occurrence, but we shall refrain from noticing any of the reports in circulation, unless something definite comes to our knowledge.—Mark Lane Express. THE OLD LADY AND THE COBBLER OVER THE WAY.— Some years ago the husband of an old lady, residing in a country village, happened to die rather suddenly without making a will, for want - of which very necessary precaution his estate would have passed away from his widow, had she not resorted to the following remarkable expedient to avert the loss of his property :—She concealed the death of her husband, and prevailed upon an old cobbler, her neighbour, who was a person somewhat like the deceased, to go to bed at her house, and personate him, in which character it was agreed that he should dictate a will leaving the widow the estate in question. An attorney was accordingly sent for to prepare the required document, and the widow, on his arrival, appeared to be realising the greatest affliction at her good man's danger, but forthwith proceeded to ask questions of her pretended husband, calculated to elicit the answers she expected and desired, The old cobbler, groaning aloud, and looking as much like a person going to give up the ghost as possible, feebly answered, " I intend to leave you half my estate ; and I do think the poor old shoemaker who lives over the way' is deserving of the other half, for he has always been a good neighbour." The widow was thunderstruck at receiving a reply so different to that which she expected, but dared not negative the cobbler's will, for fear of losing the whole of the property, while the cunning old rogue in bed, who was himself the poor old shoemaker living over the way, laughed in his sleeve, and divided with her the fruits of a project which the widow had intended for her own sole be nefit.—Scotch Gazette. HOUSE OF LORDS.-SATURD AY. The Exchequer Bills Bill, the Consolidated Fund (Appro priation) Bill, the Canada Loan Bill, Ecclesiastical Corpora tion, Leasing Bill, East India Bishops Bill, Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Bill, were brought up from the Commons, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday. The Bonded Corn Bill (with the Lords' amendments agreed to), and the Court of Chancery Offices Abolition Bill, with amendments, to which their lordships' concurrence was desired, were also brought up. Their lordships adjourned till Monday at ten o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATIJRDAY. Another struggle took place on the question of the engross ment of the Newfoundland Bill. It was carried, however, by a majority of 54 to 21, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Lord ASHLEY, in moving the order of the day for the con sideration of the Lords' amendments to the Mines and Col lieries Bill, complained of some of the alterations which had been made in the bill in the House of Lords, one of which alterations would render it inoperative, as regarded the restriction of female labour. He felt it necessary, however, to adopt those alterations, although he disapproved of them, because, though the limited the operation of the bill, they yet affirmed a great principle. After some observations from Lord PALMERSTON, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and other members, Sir R. PEEL said he disapproved of some of these altera tions, and more particularly the one relating to female labour, although he did think it was absolutely necessary to allow women in certain cases to enter mines. After some further discussion, the amendments were agreed to. Lord PALMERSTON then moved for copies of the corre spondence between Lord Chelsea and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, relative to the application for and refusal of the Chiltern Hundreds. The Cu ANCEELOR of the EXCHEQUER seconded the mo tion, said that, in refusing the Chiltern Hundreds, he was acitng, according to his judgment, in conformity with the wishes of the house. Mr. HUME said that had the right hon. gentleman acted otherwise it would have been an insult to the house. Sir R. PEEL said the act of the Chancellor of the Exche quer was the act of the government, and the decision was altogether irrespective of the case being that of Lord Chelsea. The house, after some other business was gone through, adj ourned. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.M. This is generally our quietest day in Cotton, but, from the commencement of business to the present hour, buyers have been very active, and fully 5000 bales have been sold, at the extreme prices of yesterday, or id per lb on our quotations of Friday last. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—On Saturday morning last, at a very early hour, Air. Ilaile, of Threapthwaite, near White haven, hearing a noise in the hen-roost, got out of bed and went there, when he saw a tall fellow make his escape, and Mr. Haile was about to follow him, when he suddenly en countered another of less stature, who was just escaping from the hen-roost. A desperate conflict now ensued be tween Mr. Haile and the lesser villain, in which the former had the advantage. The thief was knocked down, and his conqueror was about to drag him to the house, when, by a violent effort, the fellow got hold of Mr. Haile's collar, and succeeded in pulling him down also. The contest was now ren ewed upon the grou n d, eac h party grappling with the other, and a most fearful struggle ensued, in the midst of which the tall fellow returned to his companion's assistance, and by a series of furious ki c k s on th e h e ad and breast, soon rendered Mr. Haile nearly insensible. Even in that state, however, he still held the lesser fellow with a tenacity of grasp which defied the efforts of both villains to extricate him. At length the taller of the thieves drew out a knife, with which he cut Mr. Haile across the forehead, and in flicted a deep and dangerous wound in his neck, about a quarter of an inch from the gentleman, same nd e onte calledst t i o m uw e t e, whoseh cannotamt u r ‘ e d butr nr , e o p a i do l d d inn c i fi r o t n e j u h, a st g h e te hntehrtoh relaxed u i c g v h e e s u t ifli es t d h h e , ll f ed e a, a va r finish h ul h a i r m v . n , Tile swearing, un fo r t a u t n t a h t e e ing altogether insensible. their victim bleeding profusely, and made G H T 0 N i AN USEFUL HINT.—BRI GHTON , A ugust I.—A curious ann ouncement was yesterday a nd has been attended with some unpleasantrota one o f our p u lpit s , At the close of his sermon at the Chapel consequences. morn ing, the Rev. S. R.

Such an announcement coming from or them to and just at a time when the town is full of that description pulpit, marauders waiting to pick up the unwary at the e ription of coming races, created a sensation ; and, as if by coromon consent t hees, eyes of the congregation were turned in the direction f ' a pew, where sat two gentlemanly-dressed strangers who had entered the church during the reading of the Litany. ' The two strangers on leaving the chapel were followed as far as Castle-square by a large portion of the congre ga ti on, when they asked the meaning of such an attendance, and were informed by one of the headboroughs that they were suspected to be pickpockets. The gentlemen protested their respectability, which they offered to prove to any gentleman in the crowd who would accompany them. No one else coming forward to do so, the headborough got into the fly, which was driven to the house of a respectable lady resident in Brighton, who stated that the suspected pickpockets were the curate of Barton-on-Humber and a fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, residing at Blackheath. —Times of Tuesday.—[A correspondent in Wednesday's Herald, states than an action has been commenced against Mr. Drummond by the gentlemen mentioned above.] PRICES OF SHARES , A UGUST 8.

If possible our Market is more animated to-day than pre viously this week, and prices are again id. per lb. higher. Sales reach 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The sales of the week amount to 53,000 bales, of which the trade have taken 40,000; remainder to speculators and exporters. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST S. It affords us much pleasure to be able to continue our favourable report of the Cotton market ; the demand seems to gather strength. On Saturday 8000 bales were sold, and to-day fully 7000, chiefly to the trade. Prices are gradually tightening, and though they do not ramble as in other days, yet there is a feeling of health and con fidence that gives an assurance that at the bottom the foundation is good. There was some rumour on change, that in some of the manufacturing districts, the operatives had availed themselves of this early opportunity to turn out for an advance of wages. This is rather too bad, for the improvement has not gone beyond the Manchester market, and has yet has not found its way into the pockets of the producers, if this turn-out be general, it may cause a temporary cheque to our advanced market. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. There has been a further improvement in the demand this week, and the purchases on account of the trade have been on a more extensive scale than in any previous week during the year; Specu lators have bought freely, but for export the operations have been moderate. Prices of the common and middling qualities of Ar.sericau have advance id to id per lb, whilst fair to good remain without change ; in other descriptions there is no alteration. 1650 Sea Island and 550 Stained were offered by auction to-day, of which 730 of the former and 300 of the latter found buyers, at prices about on a par with the previous business. 500 Egyptian were also offered, but withdrawn for want of bidders. Speculators have taken 13,000 American, and Exporters 750 American. ACCOUNT OP SALES AND IMPORTS OP COTTON, From the 29th ult. to the 4th instant, inclusive.

A few favourite brands w south of Ireland Butter, were disposed of, at the close of the week. to a troderate extent at 8 s. to Bz,. for Carlow and Nilkenny. in middling and inferior Butters there is absolutely nothing doing. •The continuance of favourable wea ther, and the great abundance of - atter-Crass, will tend to keep prices low. Pickled Batter in fair demand, for the Brazils at 765. Holders of prime heavy beef, (and they are very few,) confidently anticipate better prices, in consequence of the great inferior ty of foreign provisions. Pork is a c omplete drug, and prices have de clined so rapidly, that we cannot safely give a quotation. Bacon continues a saleable article at steady prices. MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST In the early part of the week, the trade. influnced (in addition to the previously existing_ causes) by the great decline which took place in• London. was in a state little short of absolute panic ; and though during the day or two, the eagerness to realise which was previously manifested has somewhat abated; holders have been very willing to sell at the reduction which has taken place in the value of every article since this day week. With very trifling exception, the weather has continued favour able for harvest ; the reports of which from all parts of the king .dom are most satisfactory. At this day's market, though somewhat more of a secure feeling is evinced, holders of all articles readily meet purchasers in the moderate business which is doing. The demand is confined almost entirely to the best samples of each article, and en these a reduc tion on the rates of this day week is submitted to at 61. to gd. per bushel on Wheat. 2s. to as. per sack on Flour, Id. to 2d. per bushel on Oats, and 2s. per load on Meal. Beans, Peas, and Malt, with out much variation: Inferior descriptions of all articles are sale able only at very low rates, and we may remark that in the present unsettled state of the market, quotations for any quality can be made with little accuracy. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCH ANGE. AUGUST 5. The rate of duty has advanced upon Foreign Rye to 9s 6d, and upon Colonial to is per qr., which are the only al terations we have to notice for the ensuing week. We have again a large arrival of Wheat, the import from abroad within the past three days exceeding 19,000 qrs., chiefly from and through the Mediterranean ; the supply of States and Canadian Flour is also to a liberal amount, and the whole, as well as our present stock of bonded Wheat and Flour, may now be considered virtually on the free mar ket, there being every prospect of an early advance of duty; the fresh supplies coastwise and from Ireland are generally, as of late, very limited. The trade between Tuesday last and to-day assumed rather more firmness, and a few transactions took place in the leading articles on nearly the terms last noted. Yesterday there was an indication of unsettled weather, by which some stimulus was excited; more, however, in the minds of holders than of buyers, there being upon the whole little apparent relief from the state of apathy previously existing. Several millers from distant parts of the country, at this day's market, seemed to impart rather more stability to the trade for Wheat, in which a fair extent of business was transacted, and there appeared a somewhat less eager desire to force sales than in the early part of the week ; most hold ers notwithstanding, evinced a teady disposition to meet the demand, and while some parcels of good quality realized our last quotations, a decline of id . to 2d. per Nibs was more generally conceded. Upon a moderate sale for States and Canadian Flour, each may be considered rather cheaper; home made and Irish remaining nominally unvaried. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in quiry, were severally, in some degree, depressed in value. A few parcels of fine heavy Dutch Oats, just arrived, ap peared to meet a rather free sale to-day at 3s Itl to 3s 3d per 45 lbs. ; but in other kinds, scarcely any business was done ; and Oatmeal, being very little noticed, hardly maintained our last currency. , • VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING.
