KOTAL VISI TO bCOTLAND. The people of Scotland will ere this time have learned, with heartfelt delight, that the report of her Majesty's inten tion to honour this country with a visit, during the present season, is perfectly authentic. The fact was distinctly announced in the Times of Friday last, and repeated in the Standard of the same evening ; and on Sunday it was fully confirmed by the arrival of official letters lo various anthorities here, intimating the precise period when her Majesty and Prince Albert:will leave England. It is expected that her Majesty will take her departure from Woolwich on the 29th, in the Royal George Yacht, attended by the Pique Frigate, and• a squadron of steam vessels and yachts. Her Majesty will be accompanied by her Royal Consort Prince Albert, several of the ministry, including we believe Sir Robert Peel, Sir J. Graham, &c. It was rumoured for some days that his Grace the Duke of Wellington would be of the royal cortege, but this, we understand, will not be the case, a circumstance which all must regret. By Wednesday it is thought that her Majesty will land at Granton Pier or at Leith, most likely the former, when she will proceed to Dalkeith Palace, after receiving addresses of congratulation from the authorities of this city. At Dalkeith Palace extensive preparations have for some time been going on, as her Majesty intends to reside with the Duke of Bnccleuch during her stay in this quarter. On Thursday her Majesty will remain at Dalkeith, to rest after the fatigues of her journey. In order to gratify her subjects of Scotland, by allowing them to pay their personal respects to her Majesty, the Queen will bold a Drawing-room on Friday. At this it is not intended that visiters should appear in court dresses. Of course, such noblemen and gentlemen as are entitled to wear uniforms will appear in them, including lord-lieutenants and deputy-lieutenants of counties, the Queen's Body Guard, &c. On 'Saturday the Queen will visit the public places in Edinburgh ; and lon Sunday she will attend public worship in the High Church. Her Majesty, on Monday, will depart for Scoone Palace, the seat of the Earl of Mansfield. In the course of the week the royal party will visit Lord Willoughby D'Eresby at Drummond Castle, the Earl of Kinnoul at Dolphin Castle, and the Marquis of•Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle. We have heard that it is her Majesty's intention to visit Invenary, but this does not seem to agree with the programme which has been stated. The royal party will proceed to Taymouth by way of Dunkeld on Tuesday, and on Thursday his Royal Highness Prince Albert will have an opportunity of shooting on our Highland moors. Her Majesty and suite will return to Dalkeith on Monday the 12th, and embark for Woolwich on the following day.—Edinburgh Standard. MOVEMENT OF TROOPS FOR LANCASHIRE. During the whole of the afternoon of Saturday the greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, in consequence of information having been sent to the railway authorities to prepare two special trains for the conveyance of troops to Manchester. It soon got rumoured in the neighbourhood that above 1,000 soldiers were going to Manchester by the six o'clock train, and a great crowd began to assemble. The crowd continued to increase, and fears were entertained from the menacing manner of the assembled idlers that a not would take place. About half-past eight the tramp of heavy cavalry was heard approaching, and in a few minutes after a troop of Royal Horse Artillery, heavily accoutred, having with them four field-pieces, made their appearance in front of the station, having left Woolwich shortly after six o'clock. About nine o'clock, and soon after the artillery had en tered the railway yard, the marching of Foot Guards and the cheering and hooting of a large mob announced the approach of more soldiers. Shortly after they came in front of the station, and were received in a manner even worse than the Artillery, several of the mob shouting out, " Don't go and slaughter your starving fellow-countrymen," and groaning. These troops consisted of the 3d battalion of the Ist Regi ment of Foot Guards from St. George's barracks, numbering 700 men, with three waggons laden with ammunition. The mob at this time was very great, the soldiers having been followed from their barracks by several hundred persons. On Sunday, as early as nine o'clock, another troop of Horse Artillery arrived from Woolwich at the Euston station of the London and Birmingham Railway, with three field pieces and ammunition. About four o'clock the Quartermaster of the 34th Foot, from Portsmouth, attended by an orderly, arrived, and or dered refreshments to be procured from the various public houses for that regiment, which was en route by the South western Railway from Portsmouth. The greatest excitement at this time prevailed, the poor quartermaster being obliged to be escorted from the various public-houses by the police. In an hour after two waggons, laden with ammunition and guarded by several soldiers of the 34th, came 111), and were shortly after followed by the regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Airey, consisting of 600 men. On their arrival they were greeted with the most discordant yelling by the mob. The officers appeared to be the particular mark at which the spleen of the mob was directed ; and on three or four of them riding up abreast, they were groaned at in such a manner that an order was given to fix bayonets, for the purpose of intimidating them. This caused the mob to shout louder, and when the whole had got inside the gates, a tremendous groan was set up. The men having been refreshed with bread and meat and a pint of beer each, were allowed to rest for half an hour, and on the call of the trumpet, took their places in the several carriages. The train was unusually lengthy, consisting of nearly twenty carriages, and at a quarter to seven it started. The crowd had not in the least diminished when it left. In consequence of these special trains nearly 200 of the S division of the metropolitan police have been doing duty when they start, a considerable number of whom are sta tioned at Chalk Farm, it being feared that an attack might be made on that part of the line. DISCOVERY OF A MAN IN WINDSOR CASTLE. The town of Windsor was thrown into a state of consider able excitement and alarm at a late hour on Monday night by the report that a man (said to be connected with the Chartists) had been discovered in the immediate vicinity of the private apartments connected with the Royal nursery. Other alarming rumours were rife, some of which went to the extent that a man had been found secreted in her Ma jesty's dressing-room, and " armed to the teeth." The real facts, however, as far as they have been ascer tained, appear to be as follows : On Monday night, between nine and ten o'clock, shortly after the breaking up of the Royal dinner party, a strange man was discovered seated upon a bench or form in the foot men's waiting-hall, within a very few yards of the Queen's entranse from the Quadrangle to the Castle, a n d on ly a short distance from her IVlajesty's private staircase, leading to the suite ,of 'priVate apartments and the Royal nursery. The man t,q have reached this part of the Castl e must h ave gained admittance at the servants' entrance, and have tra versed the .several passages of the Castle, to the extent of between 200 and 300 yards. The footmen's waiting-hall, which is about 16 feet square, is approached by two or three entrances, and crossed by nunierousdomes tics at every period of the day, until the hour of retiring to rest. The man, who is about.4o years of age, and whose appearance was that of a journeyman mechanic, wore a velveteen jacket and trousers, anidablack glazed:hat, and carried in his hand Oman bundle, containing a shirt and a pair of shoes, and a thick walking stick. , 13,p0n, his being discovered, and the natural Inquiries be ing put to him as to his business there, and the mode of his gairtilig admittance (especially at that hour of the night) to the:interior of the Castle, he stated that he followed a pot boy, who was carrying beer into the Castle, and that having lost hims e lf he sat down upon the bench to have a rest. He further stated, in reply to questions put to him, that he had been walking a long way in search of work. After some further examination the man was taken away at 11 o'clock in custody by Mr. Steed, the inspector of police on duty at the Castle, to the station-house, and thence to the Ship Tavern, where he remained until Tuesday morn ing, a policeman sitting up with him throughout, the night. The man was placed in the coffee-room, where he dosed oc casionally upon the chairs till about six o'clock. The man next day complained of thirst, and asked for a " drink of water." Some of th a t p ure an d w h o lesome be verage was immediately given him, of which he drank nearly a quart. Upon being ordered to be taken away in custody, he offered some little resistance, observing, " I've now got into good quarters, and here I'll stay for the night." How ever, trifling force was obliged to be used to remove him, and he was taken from the Castle in the custody of the inspector. Upwards of an hour before he was discovered to be a per fect stranger at the Castle, be was observed by the orderly in attendance sitting upon the bench in the hall, by whom he was considered either to have been one of the workmen en gaged at the Castle, or a porter who was waiting on some business for those employed. The mau was examined at the Home-office, before Mr. Hall, on Tuesday, when it was found that his name is John Quinlan; that he is a labouring man belonging to Maidstone, Kent, and that he is 40 years of age. This is not the first occasion on which he has visited the castle. He states, that he believed, that if he saw the Queen, he would obtain a pen sion for life, and that this was his object in going into the castle. Nothing of a dangerous character was discovered on his person. He was remanded. INSOLVENT COURT, CHESTER-AuG. 2. (Before Mr. Commissioner BowaN.) Augustin Applin of Manchester, P ublican, was opposed by Mr. Thomas Bake, of Manchester, brewer, Mr. Joseph Stancliffe, of. Mirtield, rnalster,. and Messrs. Procter and Co., s pirit merchants, Liverpool. - It app eared thatthe insolvent k e ptspiritvomit at Ancoats , Manchester ; that on the 3d T s ; lau, he disposed of his:house, furniture, • stock, &c., to a Mr. Knott, a servant in the'employ of Messrs. Mellor, spirit merchants, Liverpool, for £720 12s. 10d. out of which lie paid the Messrs. Mellor £196, to his son-in.law, Joshua Hyde of Manchester, bootmaker, £235, which he said he had borrowed i r on s him ; and also £27 TOs. for a shoe bill; he also alteged to have paid away the whole of the £720 12s. 10d. without paying the opposing creditors, and several others of his n h --744 fide creditors, a shilling. But on the 16th of the same mouth of May, the opposing creditors received a letter (being the first intimation that the insolvent had dis posed,* of his property) from the accountant, offering two shillings in the 'pound. It appeared the insolvent was sent t o g aol in June last, by a - Mr. Towndron, an attomeyts clerk, for £l 5O 10s. said to have been borrowed two or three months previously. The arrest took placo at Bowen, in the county of .Chester. The learned Commissioner stopped the case, saying it was a ver y gross one ; that the payments were clearly preferences, and that the hearing must be adjourned till the next court, and that the insolvent must produce the Messrs. Mellor, Mr. Knott, Mr. Joshua Hyde Lane, and Mr. Towudron, the de taining creditor. , A detainer was lodged against the insolvent, at the suit of Mr. Bake. c ; for est etrh, and Trafford, of ian h eopposing Council for the insolvent, Mr. N'enables Leigh creditors, Mr. Josiah De-Arden, their attorney.

The crew consisted of three men, accompanied by the owner of the sheep, and the shepherd. Two of the crew took to the small boat, which swamped before half way ashore, when they were com p e lled to swim. The o-her man and Mr. Fletcher 'miraculously escaped , partly by swimming and the surge of the waves, whilst the shepherd with difficulty clung to the rock all night, and was picked up early next morning. Only fifty-three live sheep were found ou the island next morning, and forty-three of those drowned were got into a small creek nine miies distant from where the accident happened. Two fishermen, who were passing on Saturday morn i ng, too k t h em f rom off the unidhabited island, wher e t h ey were k i n dl y trea t e d, an d conveyed the available wrecked cargo to its destination. The craft was on her way from the island of Mull to Crinan. where the sheep were intended to be landed, and then ship ped on board one of the Castle Company's steamers, at Ar drishaig Point, and brought to Glasgow rasrket.

(From the Times city article.) Wool unmanufactured which shall be imported into the United States of the value of 7c. per lb. is to be made liable to a duty of 5 per cent. ad valorem. In such cases where it shall be valued above that rate, it is to be charged 9c. per lb. All manufactured wools, except carpetings, flannels, backings, baizes, blankets, worsted stuff goods, ready-made clothing, hosiery, mitts, gloves, caps, and bindings, are to be subjected to a duty of 40 per cent. Woollen blankets of the value of 75c. each are to be made to pay a duty of 15 per cent. ad valorem, and all other woollen blankets a duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem. All manufactured goods, not otherwise specified, of combed wool or worsted, and manu factures of worsted and silk combined, are to pay 30 per cent. ad valorem, and hearthrugs an ad valorem duty of 40 per cent. Woollen and worsted yarns are to be liable to a duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem, and the same is to be levied on woollen and worsted hosiery. Ready-made clothing, composed of whatever materials, is to pay 50 per cent. ad valorem, while laces are to pay 15 per cent. ad valorem. Cotton, unmanufactured, is to pay a duty of 3 cents per pound ad valorem, and all manufactures of cotton, excepting cotton twist, yarn, and thread, a duty of 30 per cent. All other manufactures of cotton, which shall be valued at per square not less than 35 cents, are to pay the same amount per cent. Cotton twist, yarn, and thread, unbleached and uncoloured, is to pay 20 per cent. ad valorem; bleached and coloured, 25 per cent.; and all other descriptions, whether thread, yarn, or spools, a duty of 30 per cent. The duties to be levied on glass, porcelain, &c., are of the most stringent character. 25 per cent. is to be paid ad valorem, on those descriptions unspecified. Other wares, such as China ware, porcelain wares, earthenware , stone ware, or any ware composed of earth or mineral substance, are to pay a duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem. Gloves are an article upon which a duty of 25 cents per dozen are to be paid for men's ; women's leather habit gloves are to pay one dollar per dozen ; and children's leather habit gloves 50 cents per dozen. Furs are to pay a dut y var y in g from 5 to 25 per cent. ad valorem. Manufactured metallic wares are another article which come within the action of the new American tariff. These are classed under the head japanned, plated and gilt of all kinds, and are to pay a duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem. Metals include lead, pig and in bars, which is to pay 3 cents per pound, while other descriptions of this article go as high as 4 cents per lb. Type metals, &c., Tre made liable to a duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem. Brazier's copper 30 per cent., and other descriptions of copper, such as sheath ing, &c., 2 cents per lb. Throughout the whole of this tariff, 'it is observed, that whenever any article is supposed to interfere with American production, the rates of duty laid on are of the most pro hibitory character, while the chief incitement appears to have been the exclusion of English manufactured articles, although repeatedly it has been asserted that the views of America were co-operation with British manufacture and in dustry. The minute detail into which this tariff plunges, precl9des the possibility of entering into it as freely as could be wished, to show the grievous burdens proposed to be placed upon imports into the United States ; and having, as is imagined, already adduced sufficient to show what is the intention of the American legislature towards the trade which has been attempted to be reciprocated between the two countries, the subject is left till the whole of the bill shall have passed. We are told that the will of a Marquis, recently deceased, is likely to provide active employment for gentlemen of the long robe, the heir to the title being determined to oppose the execution of every clause relating to certain bequests, to which end a bill will shortly be filed in the Court of Chancery.—Morning paper . — [The will alluded to is that of the Marquis of Hertford. The language in which some of the strange bequests are given, is so libellous that the papers decline to publish it.—ED.l IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE 'UNDER THE NEW TARIFF.—The supply of cattle at Smithfield-market on Mon day was much greater than for several weeks past. There were 60 head of cattle imported under the new tariff from Rotterdam and Hamburg. They resemble very much the Lincolnshire breed, but are far inferior to our own as regards fatness, and met with a very dull sale. The importation of foreign cattle offers but a poor profit, as our markets are so plentifully supplied from Scotland and Ireland with a much superior quality,—Herald. Mr. Baker, who is well known on the Corn-Exchange as a large speculator in grain, regularly announced on Monday the necessity of a suspension of payments. The cause of this is said to be that he purchased too large a stock of foreign grain to work off in the market, the condition of which was not such as to meet his anticipations. It is generally be lieved that he purchased wheat to the amount of about £120,000, and other grains to the amount of £30,000, on a supposition that the market was favourable for the import of foreign grain at the prices which he had paid, but the revul sion of prices in favour of the market purchaser, partly caused by the appearance of the weather for the coming crops, caused the unfortunate event just described. He is not supposed to have many connexions in the London corn trade who will suffer by his failure ; but it is thought that in some of the provincial towns the occurrence may be more severely felt.—London THEATRE PATENT—ALEXANDER V. ANDERSON.—Mr. Alexander, the complainer, is lessee of the Theatre Royal Glasgow ; and Mr. Anderson, respondent, was formerly con nected with a minor theatre in the same place. Mr. Alex ander prayed the Court of Session " to interdict, prohibit, and discharge the said respondent, and all others representing, or acting by or under his authority, or otherwise, from acting, representing, or performing, or causing to be acted, represented, or performed, at the place mentioned in the said statement of facts, or any other place in the city of Glasgow, or in the suburbs or neighbourhood thereof, all tragedies, come dies, operas, plays, farces, interludes, melodramas, burlettas, and all other entertainments of the stage of any description whatsoever, whether the same have been licensed by the Lord Chamberlain or not, or any part or parts thereof." The pleas of the respondent were, Ist, That the previous proceeding before the sheriff, constituted a alibi pendens, so as to render the application to the Court Session incompetent; 2 nd; Th at the penal statute founded on by Mr. Alexander had been repealed ; and 3rd, That at all events, Mr. Alexander, being himself limited• by his patent to the performance of licensed plays, had no legitimate title or interest to prevent the performance of unlicensed pieces. Lord Chief Justice Clerk, in delivering judgment, said, " The whole case is mistaken in the plea of the respon dent. The complainer alone is entitled to exhibit and per f.nrr.noany entertainment on the stage ; no one else is ent itled to 4 _ so. The words of the privilege are quite broad : no doubt the complainer is also limited to this, but what he per forms shall be licensed.

A. man of the name of Adams was placed at the bar, charged with having sold an infamous publication, contain ing a blasphemous libel against the Christian religion. The words in which it was couched will not admit of our repeat ing it. Mr. Alexander conducted the prosecution on the part of the crown, and Mr. Thomson defended the prisoner. Mr. Justice ERSKINE, in summing up, directed the jury to inquire whether they were satisfied that the words, as al leged in the indictment, and as proved to have been con tained in the publication sold by the prisoner, were intended to bear the meaning and construction implied in the inuen does, and were'intended to bring into contempt the Christian religion, the Holy Scriptures, and our blessed Saviour. " The law considers" (continued the learned judge) " every man accountable for the contents of every work which he pub lishes, of every printed paper which he may vend, unless he shows satisfactorily that he is ignorant of its purport, or of what it treats. It is not, however, necessary to show, on the part of the prosecutor, that he has ever actually read it, or else no one could be convicted of the offence ; consequently, if a man under any circumstances, be shown to have sold a printed : paper, he must be taken to be cognizant of its purport. It is for the jury to consider whether the words set out contain a blasphemous charge against our Saviour and his holy re ligion. Were this a libel against a private individual, it would be necessary to call a witness to show the purport and in tent of the alleged libel ; but as the Christian religion is a part of the law of this land, you are at liberty to take cog nizance of any libel against that, and to say whether you are satisfied that the individual alluded to in the paper which has been read was our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If you are of that opinion, then it is my duty to inform you, that although the law will freely tolerate any opinions that a man conscientiously entertains for himself, yet it will not allow the publication of opinions such as these in an irreve rent and indecent manner ; indeed, if a man disbelieves the truths of the Holy Scriptures, the law will permit him to reason and to argue upon his unbelief, provided he do so so berly, seriously, and decently. No one, indeed, can be con scientiously considered guilty of blasphemy, if he argue decently and temperately for conscience sake ; but if a man think proper to revile what the mass of the people of this land, and the law itself also, deem most sacred, he must abide by the consequences of his own act. The Christian religion is the foundation of our law, and no functionary is admitted to any office connected with its administration without being first required to take an oath, which oath de rives all its efficacy from that veneration which is due from us all to our holy religion. It is for you, therefore, to say whether you consider the words you have heard to contain a sober argument on religious topics, or a blasphemous reviling in order to bring it into contempt. Witnesses have been called to character, and they have spoken to the defendant's honesty and morality, but those qualities are not in question. If a man be charged with stealing, we readily inquire into his character for for honesty, or if he be charged with murder, we naturally seek to know whether he' has generally borne the character of a quiet, peaceable, and inoffensive man, because those characters are wholly inconsistent with the respective charges alluded to ; but when an indictment for libel is preferred against a man, witnesses, if any be called. should be ques tioned as to whether be have always borne the character of a sober and sincere christian, because such a character would be inconsistent with the charge. It is quite possible, how ever, that a man may be a hard working, industrious, moral man, and yet, entertaining opinions adverse to Christianity, may think that he is advancing the cause of those who think with him by giving publicity to his doctrines." The learned Judge concluded his observations by directing the attention of the jury to the evidence they had heard, and, without a moment's hesitation they returned a verdict of Guilty through their foreman, who expressed his own and their abhorrence of the details that had been necessarily elicited. The next case called on was that of the Socialist Holyoak, who stood charged with having uttered certain blasphemous expressions at a meeting held at the Mechanics' Institute, at Cheltenham, on the 24th of last May.: The case was conducted on the part of the Crown by Mr. Alexander, who fully proved the commission of the offence by the evidence of a single witness, whom the prisoner under took to cross-examine himself, and in so doing added weight to the testimony which had already been elicited ; he then commenced in a shrill discordant voice, a prosy, incoherent, and absurd harangue, during which he treated upon au end less variety of topics, the majority of which had no reference whatever to the subject before the Court. In appearance he - is a thin miserable-looking lad, and al though he asserted the contrary, he does not seem, either from his demeanour, his language, or his articulation, to have ever had the benefit of the most ordinary education, He took the opportunity afforded him of making his defence, to dilate at great length in praise of Socialism, and to express his conviction in the non-existence of a Deity. It is worthy of remark, that while there are this year seven or eight iron steam-boats building at Glasgow, three of them of large sea-going dimensions, (400 or 500 tons mea surement,) there are no wooden steamers whatever. The following circular, from Lord Francis Egerton's head steward, has been sent, says the Manchester Times, to the tenants on the Bridgewater estate :—" Worsley, July 30, 1842. The evils which an over-crowded population entails upon the poorer classes of society make it necessary to con sider in what manner this may, with the most ease and with the least interference with their comforts, be diminished gradually, and finally removed altogether. There can be no doubt that early and ill-considered marriages between very young persons is one great cause of these evils. Marriages contracted without forethought, and without any considera tion as to the means of future support and maintenance of children. Such marriages should be discouraged for the sake of the individuals themselves, as well as for that of their parents and neighbours. Such marriages receive great en couragement upon the Bridgewater estate, from the parties being permitted to reside in their parents' dwellings after marriage, thereby producing other serious evils and inconve nience. It is, therefore, hereby intimated, that after the Ist day of October next no cottage tenant shall permit any newly married son or daughter to take up their residence in their house, without leave in writing' from Mr. Fereday Smith or Mr. Robert Lansdale, as the case may be, or the tenant himself will be put under notice. Mr. Lansdale will fill up any cottage now vacant from those cottages which contain more than one family, taking great care that the vacancy thus made shall not be filled up by an extra family or lodger. —JAMES Locu."—[This is a most extraordinary proceed ing. We cannot suppose Lord F. Egerton is acquainted with such a Malthusian scheme being put in operation.— Ed. L. S.] DEATH IN A VAPOUR BATH.—The proprietors of the French baths at Antwerp recently appeared before the tri bunal of correctional police to answer the charge of homicide by imprudence, in having caused the death of an elderly wo man in their bath, by not taking proper precautions to pre vent accidents. It appeared that on the Gth of June a widow, named Tailleur, about 70 years of age, was conducted to the Bains Francais, in the Rue de Temple, by a country man of hers, a German. for the purpose of having a vapour bath. He gave strict injunctions to the attendant to take great care of her, on account of her great age, and the fact of her being ignorant of the French language. The old lady was placed upon a sort of camp bedstead, which is found in all vapour baths, and left there by the attendant, after being informed by her as to the mode of admitting and turning off the steam. When the attendant returned, however, after the usual period of absence, she found the old lady stretched motionless upon the bedstead. She was, in fact, dead. Medical aid was immediately called, and the surgeons said that death had been - caused by pulmonary and celebral con gestion, produced by the admission of an excessive quantity , of steam, which the deceased, in her ignorance of the ma nagement of the bath, had not been able to shut off. The whole of her left side was scalded and burnt by the steam, and on the left cheek also was a severe contusion, which she had received in falling, when, as it is supposed, she at tempted to rise from the bedstead to open the bath door. These facts having been deposed to, the court fined each of the two proprietors of the baths in a penalty of 500 f., be sides ordering them to pay the costs of the suit.—Journal D' Anvers. BELFAST ELECTION. —At the close of the poll on Tues day evening, the numbers stood as follow : Mr. Ross (It) Mr. E. Tennant (C) . Lord H. Chichester (C) As the facts connected with this election are rather unprece dented, we give a detail of them, in order to account for the position of Lord Chichester on the poll :—Before the election of 1841, the conservative leaders—aware of the uncertain state of the constituency, owing to the frightful disorganiza tion of the register, arising out of the unamendeci system— made up their minds to avoid a contest, by proposing to re turn a member on each side. This the radicals refused, from a knowledge of the facilities which the present state of the law offered for fraud, and a contest ensued, which issued in the return of two conservatives. But it was carried by means of most unjustifiable practices, such as no party wishes to see reverted to. A petition to the House of Com mons against the return of Mr. Emerson Tennent and Mr. Johnson followed ; and this was withdrawn on the under standing that both parties would use their best efforts to avoid a renewal of hostilities by carrying out the new arrange ment proposed last year of returning a member for each side. In this arrangement it appears all the respectable inhabitants, of both parties, concurred ; but the Marquis of Donegall, im patient to have his own son returned, insisted on bringing him forward in the conservative interest. This the leaders of the party, being bound in honour to carry out the compromise, declined of course to accede to. Lord Donegall was entreated by successive deputations io withdraw Lord Hamilton, his son, for the present, and to wait till a new registration law should have been passed, and enabled the conservatives to take the field with two members, when Lord Hamilton would have been one. But his lordship refused, and the election will evidently end in the return of Mr. Tennant and. Mr. Ross the liberal candidate. RIDICULOUS, BUT Taag..—How annoying to be travelling in a country and ignorant .of its language ; how amusing to witness two beings, in other respects well-informed, well educated, making forced grimaces to understand each other, without being able to guess at their mutual wants and wishes ! During a eying Visit to Belgium, Mr. T— and his lovely wife stopped a couple of days at Chaudfontaine, near Liege, so pleasantly situated in the valley of the Vesdre, and re sembling in several of its most agreeable features our Mat lock, though upon a smaller scale. They took up their quar ters at the Hotel 'lee Bains. On retiring for the night, the gentleman either fancying he was not at a sleeping pitch, or else not feeling himself all right, resolved to line his night cap with a stiff glass of grog, and rang the bell for that pur pose ; up came the attic nymph. " Que vent, Monsieur ?" "Why, Frank," said his wife, lau i g e h n in e Oh, ah ; why, bring me a glass of b ran d y an d wa t er ."

" So I will, but cannot for the life of me call to mind what is the word for brandy ; let me see : " Oh, mamsell, portez one glass d'eau," (pointing to a glass and water on the dress ing-table.)

STOCKPORT. Yesterday (Thursday) the 'following document was issued by the mayor, as chief magistrate : " PUBLIC NOTICE. " The magistrates of the borough of Stockport having re ceived a communication from different trades in this borough, that many of the workpeople are desirous and willing to re turn to their work, give this public notice, that measures are taken to suppress any attempted resistance to their going to work ; and that any persons desirous of following their usual employments, will be protected. " WILLIAM NELSTROP, Mayor of Stockport. " Court-house, Stockport, August 16, 1842." Early in the morning, a public meeting was held on Wa terloo-road, James Harrison, tee-totaller, in the chair — when the people resolved to contend for the Charter alone, and preven, the resumption of labour. Mitchell, Carter, and Ellis, were amongst the speakers ; and from the nature of the language, and the responses of the congregation, we do not believe that the body of the workpeople will return to their employment for some time to come. Ij was stated that Ireland, Scotland, and Wales , would in eight days cease from toiling • then the people of the manufacturing districts would be enabled to brave the bayonets and the bullets of the soldiery in defence of the Charter and the people's rights. • Messrs. Gordon and Davies, the ironfounders, Heaton Norris, having resumed work, it was understood that the turn-outs would proceed from the meeting and turn out the hands employed. The consequence was, that the civil and military authorities, including special constables and the pensioners, were quickly under arms, and prepared to resist any attempt to coerce those who were willing to work. The streets are therefore more tumultuous than they have been during the week; but up to six o'clock all was perfectly quiet. Several mills in the neighbourhood have resumed work at the old prices. . Another visit from the turn-outs of Ashton is threatened ; but they had not made their appearance at six o'clock. The military are in readiness, awaiting any emergency. The Borough Magistrates are all at their posts. The protective force of the Borough, consists of four troops of the Cheshire Yeomanry, under the command of Captain E. J. Lloyd; three Companies of the 72nd Infantry, commanded by Capt. Hope ; about 1,500 special constables and 200 pensioners, besides the efficient Police Establish ment and Firemen, under the directions of Mr. Sadler. It is said at Stockport that a warrant has been issued for the apprehension of Feargns O'Connor, but, as will be seen from our first edition, he set off yesterday for London. BRADFORD. A meeting of the millowners of this town was held on Wednesday, when it was agreed, by an overwhelming majority, to commence their mills yesterday, (Thursday.) Five pri soners have been committed to 'York Castle, three are dis charged on entering into recognisances, three are remanded, four are discharged, and twenty-eight have not yet been arraigned. HALIFAX. According to the latest from this place, dated Wednesday night, no life has been lost through the firing of Tuesday. Booth (who was not expected to survive the night) still lingers, but is undoubtedly dying. Walton's seems to be the next dangerous case; it having been found necessary to use the catheter. Crowther was a little after noon removed to the Infirmary, where it is not supposed his wound is so dangerous ; it may be but a flesh-wound, though he is troubled with an asthmatic cough, which therefore militates against its healing. Sutcliffe is doing well since the amputa tion; and Holroyd will evidently be able to go about in a few days. WEDNESDAY NIGHT, TEN O'CLOCK.—Booth has just died. Crowther still keeps on favourably, it is not yet as certained whether he is injured internally. HUDDERSFIELD. THURSDAY, AuG. 18,1--Things remain very quiet here. The mills in the town and immediate neighbourhood have commenced running this morning, and to-morrow I expect the mills in the country will do the same. SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM AT TAMWORTH, THE SEAT OF SIR ROBERT PEEL. Intelligence arrived in Liverpool, this morning, that the miners, potters, and other turn-outs from the collieries and manufactories in the northern districts of Staffordshire, had advanced upon Tamworth, and after having committed a variety of outrages, had set fire to the splendid mansion of Sir Robert Peel, at Tamworth. These events, it was said, occurred yesterday afternoon (Thursday). On enquiry this morning from the messengers and others by the Grand Junc tion Railway trains, we ascertained that some act of incendiarism had been committed, but whether upon the mansion or upon some corn fields in the immediate vicinity we could not learn, and the accounts in that respect are somewhat contradictory. A fire of some sort, and of rather an extensive character, we are informed, certainly did take place, and it was not caused by accident. At eleven o'clock last night, a detachment of troops left Birmingham for Tamworth ; but we sincerely hope that military aid would not be found necessary. We shall communicate particulars in a later edition. A brafiet to the city of Worcester troth the rningbam and Gloucester line will shortly be submitted to a public meeting. It appearb that it is proposed to make a branch line from Bredicot to terminate in Sansome Fields. WESLEYAN METHODISTS.-At the recent conference in London, on adding up the number of members in society in the different circuits, it was found that, on the mission sta tions, there had been an increase, during the past year, of 4,801, but that, in the home stations, the decrease this year had been 2,065. As there has been an increase this year in Ireland, (notwithstanding their losses by emigration,) of 362—the nett increase of members, under the care of the British conference is only 2,378. Ai the present time,, in addition to combinations for the protection of trade, there are others for the attainment of political objects. The fact ought not to be overlooked, that large portions of the operatives and labourers of the country are subjected to the exciting—we might even say, the goad ing—influence of an infidel repblieanism, as exerted by one portion of the public press, which receives so much support, by the adoption of its political conclusions, from another portion, which, in its religious principles, professes to be altogether at variance with it, And for the sake of the secular parallelisms,—which yet, if examined to their origin, would be found to require the admission of the principles which refer to religion,—declarations are tolerated which go directly to undermine the faith of all who allow themselves to read them without abhorence, and, thus, to become familiar with them. A paper, of extensive circulation, is now before us, and shall furnish an illustrative paragraph. The writer is speaking of Lord Denman's address to the murder er Daniel Good, in passing the sentence of the law on him. He thus remarks on it : " Lord Denman told the culprit that his crime was unex ampled in atrocity, and that it arose from his indulging in his inclinations for one woman after another; and that, being tired of the first, he chose to get rid of her for the sake of the second. This is atrocious, but it is not unexampled in atrocity. It is a case strictly in point with that of our Henry VIII., the founder of our religion, the only true religion in the world. Henry VIII. got tired of his Queen, Anne Boleyn, and he chose to murder her, and to mangle her body, and to get another wife. What is Henry VIII. but a Royal ' Good ?' and what is Daniel Good but a vulgar Henry VIII ? And yet the Royal Greenacre, or the Royal Good, is the founder of the only true religion in the world. Lord Denman told the culprit that'his crime had been discovered, though its perpetration had not been watched by any human eye. The inference is, that the bloody deed had been watched by the Divine eye ; and a humble thought arises, whether it would not have been better for the watcher to have prevented the crime than to have permitted the perpe ' tration—to have enjoyed the horrid sight, and then to reveal the guilt, and bring the criminal to a painful death. Lord Denman has a strange idea of a Divine eye—thank heaven it is not a human eye. Were a mortal eye to behave itself in this manner, he who possessed it in his head might be justly hung as an accessary to the murder. Blood is ding-donged delled into our ears on every Sabbath, and a church bell announces nothing without an admixture of blood in it." MISCELLANEOUS. Saturday the Queen Dowager completed her 50th year. Notwithstanding the absence of that illustrious personage from town, Marlborough-house, Pall-mall, was beseiged throughout the day by the principal nobility and gentry, anxious to enter their names in the visitors book. In the neighbourhood of Bushy-park, at Hampton, Hampton court, &e., the children of the parochial schools were regale d with a substantial dinner, and the principal inhabitants dined together in the afternoon. In the evening her Ma jesty's tradespeople in the metropolis illuminated. Theatricals, as Mr. Robins truly observed, have in these days got to a very low ebb ; as a very excellent and complete equipment for a private theatre, four rolling scenes, three skies, 11 side scenes, a foot lamp, stand for 301ights, four the high amount of £l. lls. 6d. lanterns, "&c., brought Other articles retched equally low prices. The billiard table, complete, 'and in',Capital condition, brought only fourteen guineas, and a mail coach, (one of the four-in-hand club), sold only for seven guineas—about the worth of the wheels ! The Duke of Welling,tOn accepted the office lately held by Lord Hill on Friday. We have reuson to believe, however, that the arrangement is merely temporary, and that Sir G. Murray will eventually succeed to the appointment. The reason assigned for the Duke's acceptance of office is said to be that Her Majesty was so bewildered by the number and pressing applications of candidates for this important ap pointment, that she requested the Duke of Wellington to relieve her from the delicacy of the position in which she found herself placed, by accepting it, pro tempore, himself. We repeat our confident belief. however, that his Grace will remain in office a short time, and that his place will ulti mately be supplied by Sir G. Murray.—United Service Gazette. CHEAPNESS or FRUIT.—On Monday in Clare-market, London, ripe gooseberries of a large size were selling freely at one penny per quart; well-flavoured mellow pears, one hundred for twopence. Remarkably fine fresh-gathered Kentish cherries, retailed in full weight (avoirdupois,) eight pounds for sixpence. Green gages at fourpence, and fine Orleans plums at threepence per gallon. Large well flavoured apples, fit for pies and puddings, at one half-penny per dozen ; whilst sugar-loaf cabbages were retailing at three for a penny. French beans and scarlet-runners at threepence per peck ; large size cucumbers, two fora penny; and water cresses, four bunches for a halfpenny. Such a scale of prices for the same edible commodities has not been recognised by the oldest person who attends the stalls in the above market, and some of them are far advanced in senectitude, and have frequented the same for upwards of forty years. SUICIDE.—BruGnToN, August 15.—A most determined act of suicide was committed l!tre yesterday m orn i ng , a b ou t ten o'clock, by a gentleman named Peate, who had been some time domiciled at a house in Bloomsbury-place. He is a married man, and on risin o-,; in the' morning desir e d hi s wife to go below and see to the breakfast preparations, and she accordingly proceeded to comply with his wishes. No sooner, however, had she left, Chan, securing the door of the apartment, he, with considerable difficulty, owing to the smallness and position of the window, forced himself through, and after hanging for a few seconds outside by the window sill, dropped to the pavement below. The window was one of a second floor chamber, and his leg was broken by the fall. A Mr. Brown, surgeon, residing in the neighbourhood, was on the spot immediately, and rendered the proper assistance ; but, notwithstanding that the injuries to the leg were the only ones discoverable, the unfortunate gentleman expired in little more than half an hour. We hear that the deceased had been much afflicted with the gout and other complaints, and that on more than one occasion he was thought to exhi bit an appearance of deranged intellect. WATERSPOUT.—The Mersey, Captain Steel, belonging to Liverpool, arrived at Oporto from the former port, reports having seen a waterspout on the 3d instant, which rapidly approached the Mersey, but passed about three ships' length off her. It then made a direct course towards a small schooner about a mile and a half ahead of the Mersey, which Captain Steel supposes was ingulfed in the vortex, as the weather was thick at the time, with heavy rain, thunder and lightning; and on its clearing up in about 15 minutes after, the schooner was not to be seen either on deck or aloft. The schooner was apparently steering the same course as the Mersey when the waterspout was first seen. The schooner was under a heavy press of sail at the time, and the weather being hazy did not probably perceive it until it was close upon her. The Bayonne Islands bore by compass S.E. by S., distant 36 miles, the wind from the north westward. BALLOON AscENT.—On Friday afternoon an ascent was made by Mr. Green, in the Albion Bandon, from the race course, at Weymouth, Dorset. On account of its being the first that has ever been made in the county, an immense assemblage was attracted to witness the event. The balloon, on quitting terra firma, passed over, at an altitude of about 1,500 feet, Weymouth-bay and the cliffs at Hillsworth, the aeronauts having throughout their voyage a fine commanding view of the Channel. The descent took place near Bland ford, in about an hour and a half after the ascent. The bal loon was the same that Hampton nearly lost his life with, on three occasions—namely, descending, after au ascent from Rochester ; in the sea, off Dover ; and his pa r ac hute expe riments at Cheltenham and Bayswater. Mr. Green was accompanied by Captain Currey. AMERICAN PINE TimuEr..--During the month of July, this year, 6,408 tons of shipping arrived at Liverpool, with 5,719 pieces of fir, against 27,454 tons, 23,537 pieces in July last. Between February and July, last year, inclusively, 51,455 tons with 37,227 pieces arrived, against 15,649 tons, 11,2-11 pieces received'this ear. The sales w ere limited, and we fear sales are likely to decline g radually in extent till th e 10th of October, the period for the operation of the new du ties, because buyers naturally look now for new wood, and as this can only be possessed by consumers through an im mediate payment of lls Gd per load to the customs, which neither benefits buyer nor seller, this impost (about to be cancelled in the course of a few week,) naturally interferes as a dead lock for the present on all the operations in the trade. We judge that the imports which are sold on arrival till October merit attention from speculators, because of the unprecedented depression, and that, then, buyers will get possession of their woods at merely nominal duties, and meantime getting a deduction of the existin g dut ies. The stock at the end of July, includ in g all recent ar rivals, was estimated at 2,384,000 feet ; o n the 31st M a y, it was 2 ,755,000 feet, since when 351,000 feet having been imported, the consumption for the last two months appears to have been 722,000 feet. 11.000 feet of good Quebec was sold by auc tion, in one lot, at 124 d per foot. Other sales have been effected, by retail, at from 13d to 14d per foot. St John, in cargo o f prec i se rate has not transpired. good quality and average, has been sold beneath 18d per foot, but the Sales of middlinff qualities have been made ofr the uay, to M. per' foot.' the extent of 11,000 feet, at from lnd. to. But most of the imports of the mo nth h ave been either stored, or held on board, which a ppears to be m ore natural and proper course for importers just now. Quebec red pine, of fair quality, has been sold at 20d. and 22d. per fbot.— Trade Circulars. TIDE TABLE. Days. Men. Evn. Height. Sundays, Holydays, n. 31. F. 1.

During the present week the sales reported in Wheat are trifling, and at rather less money. In Barley, Beans, or Oats, little progress could be made, and the prices of each may be considered nominally unaltered. PREMIUMS OF INSUCANCE AT LLOYD'S. Outward.

We were well supplied last week with English and Foreign Grain, the arrival of English Wheat amounting to rather over 5000 quarters, and of Foreign to 23,591 quarters ; the duty of Os still continuing to be paid on this latter description, prices declining with a limited trade. The English supply fresh up this morning is very short of Wheat, but the trade for this article being in a very depressed state, the prices of Friday have been in some instances with difficulty made, which is about Is to 2s cheaper than this day week. In Foreign Wheat there is scarcely anything doing. Barley remains unaltered. Oats are a very slow sale. We have only a limited inquiry for Beans or Peas of either description, at about the prices of last week. Flour continues without variation. Several samples of New Mustard Seed, both White and Brown, appeared to-day, and realized from 10s to 12s per bushel. In other Seeds there is a moderate trade at the late quotations. WEDNESDAY, August 17. The supplies are very ample this morning, but there is no de mand for any article excepting for immediate consumption ; nor are the holders of Wheat pressing business at any reduction, as the present prices are thought to be low for an article of so prime a kind. A large quantity of foreign Wheat has arrived within the last few days, and the duty unexpectedly remained at 8s per qr. on Thursday last. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 15. The increased heat of the weather being of course a drawback to slaughtering, from the short time which meat will keep, occa sioned both a smaller attendance of butchers and a very dull trade. They purchased but for immediate wants, and , that on a very limited scale. The very large increase of Cattle, both Beasts and Sheep, contributed to increase the naturally dull state of trade. The condition of the Cattle was generally good, although not of so fine a quality as have appeared on Smithfield stones. Prime Ox fetched but 45 2d the stone, and inferior about ss. No reduction was made in Mutton upon the prices of Friday, but which, com pared with those of this day week, are 2d lower. Choice Lamb fetched 45 10d. Veal and Pork partly recovered the decline of Friday, inferior descriptions realizing about 4s, and the better quality of both 45.8 d. The number of head turned out unsold was larger in proportion than for some weeks past. (Per stone of Sibs. sinking the oftni.) Beef 35 2d to 4s 2d ; Mutton 3s 4d to 4s 6d; Veal 4s to 4s sd ; Lamb 4s 4d to 4s 10d. Head of Cattle at Market. Beasts 3640 ; Calves 196 ; Sheep and Lambs. 42,400; Pigs 395. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 16. Considering the lawless state of the manufacturing dis ricts, with the entire stoppage of machinery, we have again to report a favourable aspect of our market with reference both to demand and price. Fully 3,000 bales have been sold to the trade, and some inquiry has been made by exporters and speculators, but to what extent they have operated. Extreme prices are readily paid, and the market is by no means well supplied. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 18, Our Cotton market is quite a paradox, notwithstanding the all but general stoppage of :machinery by the mobocracy, the de. mand continues good, and a large business is daily transacted. Granted that a fair proportion is dune by speculators, yet the bulk is on consumers account. Within the last three dai s 15,000 bales have changed hands—Tuesday 5000, Wednesday 5000, and to-day 5000—of this quantity not more than 5000 are for speculation. Prices are a decided id Iv lb up since last Friday, and at this ad vance Cotton is shewn very sparingly, so that the buyer has not much choice. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 16. The arrivals of Foreign Wheat, though hitherto less abun dant than those of last week, are still rather liberal ; and of Flour from Canada we have again to note a fair supply, with a few further parcels of Pease and Oatmeal thence, and 2112 quarters Egyptian Beans ; but except 2313 barrels Flour, no produce from the United States, and little either Coastwise or from Ireland since this day se'nnight. Favoured by a continuance of admirably fine weather, harvest in this circle of the country is now general; and pro gressing more rapidly than we have known it for many years, there is every prospect, unless interrupted by a sudden change, of much corn being saved in excellent condition during the present week ; these considerations, combined with similar accotints from all parts of the kingdom, and the disturbed state of the manufacturing districts excluding our usual intercourse with,those markets, prohibit any extensive business for the moment ; otherwise, the comparatively low rates at which we have now arrived, are certainly well calcu lated to promote a much improved demand for consumption. The display of Foreign Wheat and Flour this morning has been increased by the large amount of duties paid, and the determination of importers to clear the stocks out of bond before Friday next ; which, and the causes previously stated, deterring the buyers from purchasing more than is needful to serve their immediate wants, both thede articles have met a very limited demand; the former receding in value rather below the rates of this day week, and reducing that of the latter Is. per barrel. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, continuing to excite little or no attention, the prices of each are very irregular and scarcely ascertainable. A small parcel of Irish new Oats in to-day, realised 3s. ld. per 45 lbs ; but in old, little or no business was apparent, and such may be noted id. per bushel cheaper Irish Oatmeal, however, was in moderate request at a de cline of is. per 2401b5., and a lot of Canadian was disposed of at 205.-, including barrels.
