RY MELTON CHAPTER 111 ,t be necessary that I should bring before the ....iy thing more than I have already mentioned, inci dentally, with respect to the early life of the subject of my In fact it was only as a schoolboy that I to the meeting detailed in the preced and boyhood seldom pursues his inquiries into lividuals very far beyond the surface which airn, previcusl emotion and proceeded " The first hour of consciousness however, wretched though it found me, was not one of inaction. I started from my bed of sickness ; and fevered as I was, (and at this distance of time I can fancy no other than that I was delirious too,) I threw myself into the mail, and on the following evening I was seated in the hotel at Greta Bridge, within a few miles of the little village of G—, pale and haggard, and wondering almost upon what errand I had come, or by what instrumen tality I had been borne, to that well remembered, once loved, but now loathed and distressful scene. " How I passed that fearful night to this hour, I never It was not, however, in sleep ; for the dawn found me seated upon a mossy stone, in the park at Rokeby, by the confluence of the Tees and Greta. where, lulled, perhaps, by the silver sound of the meeting waters, or by the busy memories of the past, which it called u? within me, I had remained for hours. Upon that very spot, George,—how well I remember it !—were spoken the first words of love which this tongue ever uttered—the last too ! Upon that very spot, mingled with the gliding of those sweet waters, was whispered the chaste acknowledgment of a happy heart, which bore bliss alike to her by whom it was uttered, and to him whose ears drunk in its soft music. " That dawning morn—would that I could recal it ! The cool air never since played upon this faded forehead so grate fully as then. Peace never rushed upon me with such a tranced suddenness as when I bathed my fevered face in those trans lucent waters. My steps absolutely bounded as I passed along the shaded walks, beneath the chesnut trees and spreading oaks. And yet, if it be true that The coming events cast their shadows before,' my feet should on that bright morning have been glued to the green sod. But why prolong my wretched tale ? In a few hours I had breakfasted, and was careering along towards the quiet village, in which, the past blotted from my memory, and a bright dream before me, I pictured the fair - form of her I loved, advancing to greet me, with the smile of olden time' upon her cheek, and joy and grace meet ing in the wavy motion of ' her form most infantine.' " I had passed the village green ; I had passed the village church, and was approaching that spot within which all that this heart ever loved was nurtured, when the bells rung out a merry peal, and I observed that every living being whom I met wore a face of something akin to gladness, and that eyes familiar to my youth gazed at me as I passed with a com miserating look. Yet even these awakened me not from the dream into which I had fallen. On, on, in a stupid, stony trance of fancied bliss, I passed; and not a flitting thought of ill—not a throb of the startled heart—not a flutter of the pulse—checked my blindly confiding hopes. I had neared the little winding path which led across the daised lawn ; my eye was already fixed upon the latticed windows of that sweet dwelling place ; my senses already drunk in the soft perfumes of the clustering honeysuckle which hid its porch, when a sound of approaching wheels and a buzz of voices—happy voices I thought them—compelled me to turn aside for a moment. A post-chaise swept past me, its windows down, and the postillion wearing bridal favors ; and as I looked around, standing almost at the very gate which had so often yielded to my hand—at which I had exchanged so many parting words of love,—my eyes were blasted by the sight of her upon whose sweet image my fevered and delirious thoughts had wandered through the lone night, seated in bridal array, side by side, with the chosen being who was from henceforth to be her all—the partner of her future pilgrimage on earth—her husband ! " I sprung forward with the energies of a madman. I clung to the carriage until it whirled up to the door ; and when Maria stepped out, blushing and seeming happy, I sunk down with a wild shriek at her feet, and knew no more, until I found myself, weeks afterwards, at home,—ill, very 111,—with my beloved sister watching by my pillow. From that hour, George, I have been the Wrecked, lost thing you see me He ceased. The feverisli, forced energy which had sup ported him through his painful narrative was gone ; and it was not until nearly an hour had passed that he became sufficiently composed to enable me to take my leave. JENNY CARELESS ; OR, ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE (For the Liverpool Standard.) How frequently in our sojourn through life do we meet with characters which, if we saw delineated in a book, we should conclude were overdrawn and exaggerated. Not long since our own town furnished an instance of a man who spent thirty years of his life, and tens of thousands of his money, in undermining, in every direction, the earth, that infinite wisdom had made solid, and this for no other reason than the satisfaction of his own ill-directed mind ; and who that has ever had a peep at the noisome and innumerable tunnels, thousand arches, unsightly mounds, and deep holes that dis figure one part of Edge-hill, is not struck with amazement at the magnitude of the mischief, and grief that so large a por tion of the time of an immortal and accountable being should have been so mis-spent, in marring the fair work of creation. But the opening remark of this paper was suggested to the mind of the writer more forcibly than ever during a recent brief visit to a little vill ag e near Chester, in the outskirts of which resides a complete " female outlaw," who is the terror of the surroundin g f armers an d landowners. She does not certainly possess the redeeming traits that some of the males of outlaw notoriety have credit for, (for instance, Sir Hum phrey Kinaston, who stole from the rich to give to thepoor,) unless, indeed, she considers herself the most needy of that class. The constant risks this strange individual has run has earned for her the appellation of Jenny Careless ; and throughout the neighbourhood she is scarcely known by any other name. J enn y is an unmarried woman, no w about thirty-six years of age, and inhabits a cottage, in a secluded spot, about a mile from the high road. She does not possess one perch of land, although she is the pro prietess of two cows, three donkeys, and a number of pigs, &c. ; and in the keep of these quadrupeds the craft of our spinster is chiefly displayed, for it requires little ingenuity to feed cattle when you have plenty of land ; but to graze with out a field, and fodder without a farm, and that most abun dantly, has been left to the subject of the present sketch to discover. Jenny has reversed the order of things, and the time for her cattle to regale themselves is during the silent and dingy hours of midnight, while the proprietors of the adjacent fields, weary with their honest toils, are fast locked in the arms of Morpheus. Then it is that Jenny, without shoes and stockings, creeps along a lane, and dislodges a hedge-stake for her cattle to get over and luxuriate in the well cultivated pastures of her richer neighbours ; but should some vigilant farmer surprise her, and prevent tbeir return by the gap, her magic hand struck sharply on the flank of her well instructed kine, and her more magic voice with " Now, Betty, for thy life," " Now, Sally, for thy life," is the signal for a leap from the unwieldy creatures that would not disgrace a steeple-chase. Occasionally, even Jenny Careless is outwitted, and her unlucky cattle found in the Pound. Then she bewails her unhappy fate, and if tears will not avail for their release, she pays the money, declaring the obdurate farmer shall be none the richer, as she will have it out of him before many days are over. Once lately, poor " Betty" could not resist the odoriferous perfume of a clover field ; and as ill luck would have it, was found there by the owner, who straightway marched her into the Pound : release was refused without the payment of 17s. In vain did Jenny cry, and plead she had not a shilling in the world; at last, when nothing else would do, she proposed to give, as a re muneration, a heap of manure that Stood in front of her cot, which offer was accepted, and the cow delivered to its mis tress, the innocent farmer little calculating that she would spend the ensuing hours, which he devoted to needful rest, in removing the manure into her cabin ; and that the next morning, when he took his cart to fetch it, he would be ex ultingly told he dared not touch a spadefull. During this summer there were some bricks to be made in the neighbourhood, and as it was necessary to burn the bricks, it was also necessary to provide coals. Well; to put it quite out of Jenny's power to purloin them, a man was duly ensconced as watchman, but alas the Roman law is not in force in happy England, and sleeping at his post is not here punishable with death ; .consequently, this poor fellow was not proof against the attacks of the drowsy god ; but when did Jenny Careless lose au g ht by sleeping ; an d though the poor man to his o wn fanc y had " only a wink," she contrived to lay in a winter's stock of coal. In fact, Jenny is the pest of the village ; not a hen can hatch her brood in peace for Jenny's pigs —not a duck can swim the pit in quiet for Jenny's ducks—not a lady walk the lanes without being menaced by Jenny's cows—not a youth pur sue his angling without the chance of being kicked into the water by Jenny's donkeys. Reader, this is no tale of romance ; but how frequently do we meet with charactprs which, if w e saw f a ithf u lly drawn in a book, we should con sider exaggerated. 1- 1 The Royal Mail Steam-ship Columbia came up the river this morning in splendid style, having made the passage from Halifax in nine days and twelve hours—the shortest run ever yet made by these splendid steamers. A special train to Bir mingham left Liverpool at twelve to-day with the intelligence brought by the Columbia, and will anticipate, we predict, the news brought by the steamer Great Western, which would leave New York for Bristol the same day that the Columbia left Boston for Liverpool. We have New York papers to the evening of the 15th, Halifax to the 18th, and Boston to the 16th instant. The steam-ship Britannia, which left Liverpool on the afternoon of the 4th instant, arrived at Halifax at half-past nine o'clock on the morning of the 16th instant. She was detained outside of Halifax, by a thick fog, for fifteen hours ; but, notwithstanding, this is a most excellent passage, being accomplished in 11* days. The notorious swindler and forger, Colonel Monroe Ed wards, had been tried before Judge Kent. on the 14th inst., upon a charge of forging a letter of credit in the name of Maunsell, White, and Co., of New Orleans, for 30,000 dol lars, and defrauding thereby Messrs. Brown, Brothers, and Co., of New York, of that amount. The learned judge en tered into a very lengthy charge to the jury, explaining fully the law of the case, and detailing the particulars of the frau dulent transaction—at the close of which, after some legal exceptions had been taken by the prisoner's counsel, the jury retired. On the morning of the 15th instant, at ten o'clock, the court was opened, and the jurors, having an swered that they had agreed upon a verdict, rendered a ver dict of guilty as charged in the indictment. Edwards, who had up to that moment felt confident that the jury would dis agree, turned as pale as marble, but not a muscle of his countenance moved—taking a pinch of snuff, he resumed in a few moments the air of impudent assurance which has marked his conduct throughout the trial. It will be remembered that that the Rhadamanthus, go vernment steam-ship, sailed from Portsmouth a few days be fore the Britannia left this port, with a special messenger from the foreign office carrying out despatches to Lord Ashburton. The two vessels arrived at Halifax the same day, on the morning of the 16th instant, as will be seen by a paragraph above. The special messenger for Washington who came out in her sailed in the Britannia on the same day for Boston—to proceed with the utmost expedition, with the despacthes en crusted to his care for Lord Ashburton. The Rhadamanthus remains yet at this port, and until the arrival of the steamer to-day, it was very uncertain what might be her destination. It was not intended that the Rhadamanthus should pro ceed to New York, unless in case of the non-arrival of the Cunard steamer, the measure of sending out a separate ves sel having been more for the certainty of transmission of these important papers than from any expectation of superior bareels of pots were sold at 5,25 dollars, and 50 of pearls at 5 ,62;1 dollars.

I had shared with him his tea,—which, by the kind hands of his landlady, had been neatly prepared and fur nished with a few such little delicacies as were suited to his nd our conversation had assumed a vein of cheerfulness which had restored much of the equable and even buoyant spirits which he naturally possessed. An oc casional vein of sadness, it is true, flowed through his re marks if they glanced upon any topic calculated to call up recollections of the past ; and there was a bitterness of tone, here and there with his most lively sallies. He s more collected, however, and at ease ; and, in a while, he could speak freely of his future prospects, and even, with tolerable equanimity, recur to past sorrows and disappoint- tate,— " You will wonder, George," he remarked, after a pause in our conversation, during which a thoughtful and saddened expression had crept over his features. " You will wonder, — and well you may !—to see your early school friend as you see him now. There was a time when if I could have looked forward to this day, I should have thought that I gazed upon sibility—the phantasy of a disturbed dream. ifinitely more happy am I now—here, in this —(and he looked round upon his neat, though or apartment ." than I have bumble dwelling with a smile of bitterness) — been when, in a worldly sense, brighter and better prospects were still before me !" He paused for a few moments, and then resumed in a tone "Yes, George, the first bright —the dream of love, of a happy home, of a holy of melancholy earnestness— dream of lift for ever; and now—but why trouble you sy miseries I strove to lead his thoughts into another channel, and he listened to me—at least I thought he listened—whilst I pointed out to him the path of ambition, which was still open gifted as he was. I saw his eyes glisten ; I saw his ig, and his breast heaving with excitement ; tears .eavy tears—rolled down his cheeks, and he sobbed aloud. I painted a bright prospect before him—a calm and hor igth-h _ lot, if not one such as hope had painted in his earlier years ; but he heard me not. The notes of a --- g musician turning a French piano beneath the win dow, had abstracted alike ear, eye, and sense ; and poor Melton was alone for a time, communing with the past. " That strain, George," at length he murmured faintly, " what memories does it bring to me ! How it whispers to me of the scenes of boyhood which we trod together— Of Brignal banks so fresh and fair. And Greta's woods so green!' I see them at this moment rising up before me, called up by the magic of that simple air ; and its notes, like mocking !fends, drag me to that latticed chamber with its clustering flowers, which used to " lap the senses in Elysium ;" and to the presence of that fair being, sweeter than they, and faded, now, as they are.. I hear at this moment the notes streaming from her parted lips ; I see her, at this moment, Trembling to hear the sound Of her own voice and lute ; Blushing to look around On listeners so mute.' Oh ! I would give worlds to forget all, of which that simple air brings to me the harrowing memory ; and yet that oar fellow who comes, day by day, to play it beneath my indow, has had—how often heaven knows !—the last ,nnv which I have possessed; and has seldom indeed, as now, gone away without some token—aye, for the very pain which in his innocence he has inflicted upon me. To how thoughtless happy heart the strolling musician adness ; to how many bereaved ones misery un- brings g utterable The chord once struck which vibrated to the seat of poor vlelton's grief, I foresaw that the veil which hid all his leart from me would not long be permitted to remain ; nor was I mistaken, for, after a short period, he went on — Maria B--; how formed she was to win You kn , now I loved her.

Standard-office, Two o'clock THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER COLUMBIA. ARRIVAL OF speed. By the Caledonia, which sailed from this side of the Atlan tic in the middle of May, her Majesty's government were apprised of the determination of the State of Maine to send commissioners to Washington, to treat for a settlement of the disputed territory question, and the same steamer carried home a special messenger from Lord Ashburton, with de spatches laying all the facts of the case that had tramspired up to that period, before the government, and requiring im mediate and specific instructions as to how he should pro ceed. Duplicates of the answer to his lordship were put on board of the Rhadamanthus and the Britannia, and we are assured by the Halifax Morning Post, who tells us that he speaks upon the best available authority, that the instruc tions of her Majesty's government have been framed with a most solicitous regard for the welfare of these colonies, and with a determination to preserve their safety, by retaining the whole of the disputed territory, if possible ; but, at all hazards, that portion of it lying north of Mar's Hill, with the entire and exclusive navigation of the St. John River and all its tributaries. The new tariff was, at the date of the last news from Washington, in committee; as we ought rather to say, that a bill of a temporary character, extending the operation of the present scale of duties till the Ist of August, was under consideration. By the bill of Mr. Clay, the duties will be reduced to 20 per cent., ad valorem, on the 30th June. It has appeared to the legislature hopeless to get through the proposed new tariff before that time, and, therefore, this tem porary measure is proposed to allow more ample time for the discussion of the present measure. From the temper of the house, as evinced in a division upon an attempt to obstruct the debate upon this proposition, it appears most likely that it will be adopted. The proposed temporary bill is as follows : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That all laws existing and in force on the first of June, eighteen hundred and forty-two, regulating and fixing the amount and rate of duties to be levied and collected on goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States, and prescribing the mode of collecting the same, and all provisions relating thereto, shall continue and be in force as they existed on tat day, until the Ist day of August, 1842, and no longer, anything in the act entitled "An act to modify an act of the fourteenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, and all other acts imposing duties on imports," approved March second, eighteen hun dred and thirty-three, to the contrary in any wise notwith standing. _ _ Provided, That nothing herein contained shall suspend the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, any thing herein contained, and any thing contained in the pro viso to the sixth section of the act approved fourth Septem ber, eighteen hundred and forty-one, entitled " An act to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, and to grant pre-emption rights," to the contrary notwith- standing. General Jackson has addressed a letter to the Irish re pealers in America, in which he limits the propriety of all efforts tending to affect other countries to such as shall " not interfere offensively with the internal affairs of other nations." He consequently declined attending a meeting convened by the repeaters. rHE AMISTAD AFRICANS.—By the brig Wasp, Leavitt, 44 days from Sierra Leone, intelligence has been received from the missionaries who accompanied the liberated Afri cans to their native land, to April 20th. Rev. W. Raymond, with his wife and child, continued in good health ; but Rev. James Steele had been dangerously sick with the fever. — Mr. Steele had returned from his exploring visit down the coast, with Cinque and a few of the other Mendians, (after an absence of twenty days,) and found no location where they could advantageously establish th e m i ss i on. S oon a f ter his return he had a violent fever, which continued about three weeks. By the last accounts he was convalescing, but his physician had advised him to return, for some months, to the United States, before the rain season should com mence, to recruit his health. Mr. Raymond has taken a farm at York, near Sierra Leone, where part of the Mendi ans are occupied with study and agriculture. The legislature of Pennsylua n i a assem bl e d on th e 10th instant. The chief object of the extra session was to dis trict the state according to the :new ratio of representation, but the governor availed himself of the occasion to address to to them a message, in which, after alluding to the prostration of the public credit, he states that all the taxes paid by the people of Pennsylvania for all purposes amount to the sum of four millions of dollars, as nearly as can be ascertained. Of this vast sum only seven hundred thousand dollars is levied and paid for the use of the state. Three per cent. on the assessed value of the real and per sonal property in Pennsylvania—assessed as it necessarily is far below its value, amounts to upwards of forty-two millions of dollars ; a sum sufficient to pay off our entire national debt, and leave a surplus of five or six millions in the trea sury. And yet such is the general apathy or aversion to en ter into an examination of a subject of the kind, that there are some to be found who seem at times almost disposed to doubt the ability of Pennsylvania to pay her debts. " I can add little to the details of my former recommenda tions, or to the means of discharging these debts. It is for the legislature now to act upon them ; I will however sug gest that the state possesses a fund which might be applied to the payment of these debts, if other resources fail ; and although it may not be at present available, it may ultimately become so, at least to a considerable extent. I refer to the stock held by the commonwealth in the Bank of Philadel phia, the Philadelphia Bank, and the Farmers' and Mecha nics' Bank. For these stocks the state paid two millions one hundred and eight thousand seven hundred dollars. What they may be ultimately worth I know not. My opinion of this invest ment has been communicated to the legislature time and again, and it would be useless to reiterate it now. But I must be allowed, before closing the subject, to express my opinion, formed on the most thorough conviction, that unless the interest of individuals be enlisted in this matter, the state will never realise a dollar from it. It seems to me, there fore, that it would he advisable to transfer these stocks to trustees, or make some other disposition of them, to satisfy the claims of the domestic creditors. If anything better can be done, it will afford me great pleasure to co-operate with you ; but if not, the provision suggested might possibly save a remnant, which might be applied to the debts long due to a class of just and meritorious creditors, who are most as suredly entitled, at the hands of the legislature, to the spee diest relief which its wisdom can devise, and the means of the commonwealth will possibly afford. DAVID R. PORTER." Executive Chamber, Harrisburg, June 10, 1842. The Steam-ship Acadia brought to England the news of a resumption of specie payments by the whole of the banks of New Orleans. We have now to announce that six of these have already suspended payment. The Citizens', State, Consolidated, Commercial, Canal and City are the unsound banks ; while the Louisiana, Union, Mechanics' and Traders', Carrolton and Gas Light, con. tinued, at the last advices, the 4th of June, to redeem all their obligation in coin. A run - for specie appears to have been made upon these banks from the moment of their opening. Fnom TEXAS.—lntelligence was received at New Orleans, on the 4th instant, that President Houston had called a spe cial session of the Texan Congress, to be held on the 27th instant. This call is supposed to have been made with re ference to the proposed invasion of Mexico. It is said that orders have been issued to concentrate the troops in the e as tern section of the republic. THE CROPS. A ride through New Jersey, a day or two since, afforded us ocular demonstration of some of the finest fields of wheat and rye that we ever looked . upon, and, should not hail and and rust intervene, there will be larger yields than were al most ever before known.—Philadelphia Ledger. In Virginia, all accounts concur in stating the wheat crop as very promising, although there h as not b een qu i te as much seeding as usual, owing to the failures of two or three years past. The wheat harvest has already commenced on James river. For ten days past the farmers have been reaping the early May wheat. The crops turn out well. T here w i ll b e a good yield.—Richmond Comp i ler. The prospect is flattering in Indiana, Illinois, and, in fact, in all the western states from which we have heard. The wheat crop had been harvested in some portion of Arkansas as early as the 19th ultimo, and it Is stated to have come in very fine—fully as productive as the grain-growing states.— Ibid. In this county the late drought and cold weather combined have materially impaired the prospects of the farmer. Rye, however, looks remarkably well. Corn is yet hardly visible. Oats and other spring grain very backward. Winter wheat looks well. There is a fine field of this grain about half a y on W da ll y ig night, many fields of • June 6th, cut down to the ground corn m that mile T h e thin Concordsi de of i s k i i a e , s j s n o a u n t h saysof t the r e o f a r d o . ; t/'frmo vicinity. says —We Georgetown (S.

PROM HAYTI.—We are indebted to a commercial house for Port-au-Prince papers to the 26th ult., from which we derive the following particulars : PORT-AU-PRINCE.—The Chamber of Representatives. on the recommendation of the President of Hayti, has passed a law to exempt the inhabitants of the districts devastated by the recent earthquake from taxes. The Senate, at its sitting on the 23d May, concurred. CAPE HAITIEN.—News bad been received at Port-au- Prince from Cape Haitien, by the return of Captain Faubert, aid-de-camp of. President Boyer, who sent him on a mission thither. The disorders that prevailed in this unfortunate city in ruins, of which we have before heard so much com plaint, have been consummated by the pillage, or rather theft of the public treasure, which had been hitherto preserved, it is said, by a guard. Letters announce the conflagration of the rest of the houses overturned, and not before burned. The first fire consumed only a quarter of the city, and was extinguished by rain. ST. JAGO.—Letters from this unfortunate city confirm the sad news of Abe overturning of all the houses built with masonry, and of all the public edifices. About 200 persons have perished. The earthquake was perceived at the same time as at Cape Haytien. New shocks, very strong, conti nued through the night and the following days. The rest of the population removed a half league from the city. At the first moment of this strong convulsion of the earth, the ri ver Yaque was seen to go up toward its source, and to di vide into two parts, leaving a dry passage in its bed ; then to descend with astonishing impetuosity. The excesses committed here by the prisoners who es caped in consequence of the fall of the prisons, are deplora ble,—also, by some country people, and by some from the city, who thought they had a right to pillage. But it ap pears that the authorities have not fulfilled their duty in en deavouring to prevent this disorder. St. Jago is described as a very flourishing city, that had just begun to acquire the prosperity due to industry. ST. DOMINGO.--The powerful shock experienced here was preceded by a terrible noise coming from the east. The fine cathedral, commenced in 1514 and finished in 1540, had re sisted every earthquake, especially those of 1684 and 1691 ; but, it was considerably injured by that of the 7th inst. The sea was excessively agitated near the harbour. The injury experienced by the cathedral occasioned the fear of its fall, on which account the vicar-general Portez thought proper to take away the holy.sacrament and carry it to the church St. Dominick, and afterwards to a barrack constructed in haste. A repetition of the atrocious piracies of Cape Haitien and St. Jago ig expected at St. Domingo. THE MINES.—Tbe mines on the east of Haiti have re cently been explored by an Englishman named Robertson, who is now going to England to solicit the patronage of English capitalists in the work. The following gratifying correspondence has taken place between the passengers on bbard the Columbia : " B. M. Steamer Columbia, off Liverpool, June 28th, 1842. " SIR,—We, the undersigned passengers in the Royal Mail Steam-ship Columbia, under your command, on, her present voyage from Boston And Halifax to Liverpool. are unwilling to separate without adding our testimony to your already deservedly high character as a thorough seaman, and particularly to the kind, gentlemanly, and courteous treat ment which we have all experienced from you during the present very short and pleasant passage, and which, under Divine Providence, we are satisfied is mainly attributable to your unceasing personal exertions, and to the high state of discipline preserved on board. " We feel extremely happy in being permitted to state, that the Ladies fully concur with us in the sentiments which we have expressed, respecting your kindness and attention ; and, with best wishes for your continued prosperity and happiness, " We have the honour to subscribe ourselves, " Your very faithful servants, [Signed by nineteen passengers.] " Capt.

" I have the honour to be, " Ladies and Gentlemen, yours, &c., " C. H. E. JUDKINS. " To the Passengers on board the Columbia." ELECTION AT THE SCOTCH CHURCH, OLDHAM STREET, THIS DAY. To-day, at twelve o'clock, the shareholders or proprietors in the Scotch Church, Oldham-street, proceeded to the election of a minister, in the place of the Rev. Dr. Ralph. There were two candidates put into nomination—the Rev. James French, of Glasgow, and the Rev. Maxwell Ni cholson, son of the minister of Whithorne, Wigtownshire. The friends of each of these gentlemen mustered strongly, and the polling, during the time it lasted, was carried on with great animation. We understand that the total num ber of votes amount to about ninety ; but it will be seen that only 66 polled. At one o'clock the boxes were closed, and the voting papers being counted, there appeared— For the Rev. Mr. French.. For the Rev. Mr. Nicholson The numbers being thus equal, a scrutiny took place. As it proceeded, protests were entered against several votes on each side, the consequence of which is, that until the validity of them is decided, it cannot be known which of the candi dates has been successful. Our reporter was informed that it is not unlikely that the question will come before a court of law. The collections at the churches in Cheltenham, by order of the Queen's Letter, in behalf of the suffering poor, amount to £594 15s 54d. It is understood that government has determined to allow the grinding of foreign corn in bond for the manufacture of biscuits, to be sent abroad for government use. YOUNG MAN AND WOMAN KlLLED. — During the awful thunder storm last Sunday week, a farmer's son, 27 years of age, and a young woman 22, near Alltyrodin, were lulled by the lightning.—Londonderry paper. The Cynant Mines, near Aberystwith, very lately opened by Messrs. Roberts and Co., have already yielded several valuable cargoes la lead ore. It is said that an eminent capitalist has offered to take the Newport Docks at a rent which would afford the proprietors seven per cent. on the whole of the capital expended. On Monday week a young man named Davis, in the em ploy of Mr. Herne, linen-draper, Cardiff, was drowned while bathing in the Taff. GREAT FIRE.—On Tuesday morning last at one o'clock, a fire broke out at the house of Mr. Taylor, a plumber and glazier at Lambourne, Wilts, which spread with such fear. ful rapidity that 13 houses were destroyed. On Sunday evening last, from some cause not yet ascer tained, some of the extensive plantations of Sir G. Tapps Gervis, Bart., near Poole, caught fire, an d con ti nue d burn ing all the niht, nearly 100 acres of fine young plantations being consumed. In the village of Cucklington, near Bristol, a few days since, some boys were throwing stones at each other, when one of the party, the son of Mr. Cross, was struck on the pit of the stomach, and killed instantaneously. The present year has been fatal to three of the most active and successful managers of the minor theatres, Ducrow, Davidge, and Yates. Our market continues to be well supplied with prime fresh herrings, which meet a ready sale at prices varying from 16 to 20 for a shilling.—Manx Liberal. DREADFUL EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.—On Sunday even ing last, two very fine boys, about 10 and 11 years of age, the sons of a man named Cahel, in the parish of Kilmichael, county Clare, were killed by lightning. The munificent sum of £lO,OOO has been collected in the Protestant churches of Prussia, for the schools and hospitals belonging to the Bishopric of Jerusalem on Mount Sion, in compliance with the order of the King. We understand that Knowles obtained £6OO for his Rose of Arrapon, half that sum being given by Webster, and half by Charles Kean, at whose instance the play was undertaken by the author. A gentleman named M`Carthy, of Loughrea, swam across the lake of that town, at the broadest part, a distance of three miles, on Monday last—a feat almost unparalleled in aquatics, since the famed one " o'er Helle's wave," in mo dern times accomplished by the late Lord Byron. On Tuesday afternoon, two young gentlemen, sons of Jo seph, May, Esq., who were fishing in the• river Test, near Rornsey, took shelter from a thunder storm under some trees, when, melancholy to relate, the youngest, George Wilson May, aged about fifteen, was struck by lightning and killed on the spot. Two BOYS DROWNED.—On Friday se'nnight several youths took a boat without the liberty of the owner, and were amusing themselves in the bay near Smalirnouth sands, coast of Dorset, when some of their companions on shore (to frighten them) told them the man belonging to the boat was coming, on which two of them jumping out, were drowned. —Bristol paper. A NEW FEATURE IN COMMERCE.—On the 17th instant, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, Messrs. Wade, Sons, and Co., of Hull, received an order from a correspondent in Birmingham, for between forty and fifty tons of deals ; the whole were sent off by the Hull and Selby Railway, the same afternoon, and reached Birmingham the following day, being a saving in time of at least fourteen days over the usual water conveyance. THE PORT OF NEWCASTLE. —During the year ending with November last, there were imported coastwise into this port, 4,595 loads of Scotch timber, 21,832 dozen of pit props, 68,556 sacks of flour, and 76,109 qrs. of grain. The quan tity of foreign grain imported during the same period was— of wheat, 122,122 qrs. ; barley, 18,290 qrs. ; oats, 7,309 qrs. ; rye, 5,955 qrs. ; pease, 9,069 qrs. ; beans, 4,226 qrs. tares ; tares, 1,426 qrs. ; and of foreign flour, 613 barrels. Prussia, Germany, and Denmark are the states whence these imports were derived.

MIDDLEWICH CORN MARKET, JUNE 21. s. d. s. d Wheat, old, r 751 b new Oats, old, qp. 5016 new - to 10 0 - 10 6 3 9- Barley Beans, 601 b MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, JUNE 25 Since our last we have had showers almost daily, which, with intervals of warm sun, have refreshed vegetation and removed the apprehension of injury, especially to the Spring crops, which a longer continuance of drought would have occasioned. The trade in the interval has been flat, and sales of each article have been practicable only in retail quantities for present consumption. The arrivals of foreign Wheat to Liverpool are very heavy, as will be seen on reference to the list of imports ; of other articles they are moderate. Duties on Wheat, Oats, and Rye declined one step yesterday, with a chance of a further reduction upon Wheat next week. The Liverpool market yesterday was quite as firm as could be expected, considering the pressure occasioned by the heavy arrival of foreign Wheat. At Wakefield, also, the valise of English Wheat underwent little alteration. At this day's market Wheat and Flour met a slow sale ; best qualities of each nearly support ing the rates of our last, while inferior descriptions are offered on rather lower terms. In Oats and Oatmeal our quotations must be regarded as almost nominal; and the business doing in either is of the most trifling character, 30s being an outside quotation for good runs of Meal, and 3s 3d to 3s 4d per bushel for Oats. Beans sell slowly, and the turn cheaper. Malt without alteration. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 24 Duties for the ensuing week are reduced on Foreign VG heat to 10s., on Oats to 65., on Rye to 9s. 6d. per quarter, on Flour to 6s. per barrel, and on Colonial Rye to Is. per quar ter ; remaining upon all other produce, both Foreign and Colonial, the same as last week. The arrivals of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat into this port, within the last three days, are unusually abundant, forming together 31,589 quarters, with a fair quantity of Flour, and a moderate supply of Oats, but scarcely any Grain of other descriptions, and no Oatmeal whatever during that period. _ . _ In consequence of the foregoing large import of Wheat, the continuance of showery weather, the daily improving state of all the growing crops, the absence of speculative operations, and moderate sales only to consumers, the trade here was rather inactive between Tuesday and to-day; im pressed, however, with the opinion that the principal bulk of the supplies from the Mediterranean are already on band, holders evinced a tolerable degree of firmness, and refusing to submit to lower terms, the general currency of our last circular remained unvaried. At our market this morning, upon a moderate demand for Wheat from our local millers, and some parcels having been taken by country dealers, importers continued to adhere steadily to the current rates of Tuesday, which, for all good and fair qualities especially, were fully maintained. Flour was in limited request, and the turn cheaper ; but not sufficiently so to reduce our quotations. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, appeared to excite very little notice, and each may be considered a shade lower in value. Oats, the holders of which showing more urgent desire to realize than of late, have declined Id to 2d per .151bs, and few buyers appear at this abatement. —Oatmeal, being much neglected to day, w as nominally 6d to i s c h ea p e r. In the bonded market, the only sales reported since Tues. day are 1202 qrs. of Egyptian Beans, at 225. per qr., and 500 barrels of Orleans Flour, at 28s. per barrel. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 24 Although the supply of Beasts 'at market was limited, the fresh arrivals being chiefly composed of 90 horned and polled Scots, by a steamer from Aberdeen, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state and in some few instances a decline of 2d per 81bs was sub mitted to by the salesmen, to effect a clearance. The number of Sheep brought forward was moderate, while the sale for them was slow, at the rates. Prime small Lambs sold firmly, other kinds slowly, at unaltered currencies. No arrivals from the Isle of Wight. Upwards of 300 Calves were received per railway from the west of England, owing to which the Veal trade was dull, at bafely stationary prices. In Pigs scarcely anything was doing. Milch Cows moved off slowly at from to £2O 10s each. By the quantities of 81b5, sinking the offal:: LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 27.

Number of Beasts 521 ; Sheep 8469. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, JUNE 27 The season for the import of Potatoes is now near drawing to a close, and from general report the stocks are principally exhausted —and after the cargoes now in dock are cleared away, we do not expect and further arrivals. The demand is steady, the poorer class, preferring the old root, either to the new, or spring vege tables.

Bengal, with certificate, averaging 31 per cent. 0.P., have brought 2s 6d per gallon. ' WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JUNE 24. • We had to-day a good supply of all articles of the trade except Barley. Fine fresh Wheat brought the prices of last week, other sorts were in very limited request and to effect sales lower prices must have been taken. Barley being scarce made rather more money. Beans sold slowly and were the turn cheaper. Oats and Spellings dull sale, and we must quote the former /d per stone and the latter Is per load lower. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 24 Although we have had a continuance of stormy weather since Monday, particularly last night, we are unable to announce any im provement in the Wheat trade; the supplies of English have been limited in the extreme, and, being held firmly, realised Monday's prices. Old free foreign is much neglected, but the new finds buyers on fully as good terms. There was a little inquiry for bonded, but the transactions are of a trifling amount, without im provement in value. Spring Corn in all descriptions is dull at Monday's quotations, and Oats must be written 6d cheaper. The demand in bond has almost entirely subsided. Arrivals this Week. —English, Wheat, 3,110 qrs; Barley, 509 qrs; Oats, 5,270 qrs; Flour, 3,180 sacks, Irish, Oats, 11,420 qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 26,580 qrs ; Oats, 3,130 qrs. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JuNE_24 The demand to-day has been to the extent of 3,000 bales. The sales of the week are 26,540 bales, of which 2,150 are for export, and 1,400 on speculation. From the sluggish ap pearance of the market so large a business was not anticipa ted. We make our quotations generally kd. per lb. lower than last week, and. the market closes very quiet and de pressed. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 27. In Cotton we are entirely without change ; the market is ex • ceedingly fiat and dull, nevertheless prices are firm, and buyers cannot do much better than they could a month ago. The amount of business on Saturday was 4000 bales; to-day about the same quantity, all to the trade. COTTON MARKET, ,-WEEKLY REPORT. The accounts from the manufacturing districts continue to be most discouraging, and exert, as might be expected, a prejudicial influence upon the market. The demand has been confined to the wants of the trade, and for export to a moderate extent; middling to fair American have declined id per lb. ; and such has been the difficulty of effecting sales in the very ordinary qualities of Upland, that in those descriptions a reduction of id per lb. has been in some cases submitted to. The common kinds of Surat, on the other hand, have become comparatively scarce, and have realized rather higher prices. Brazil and Egyptian are without change. The bu siness for export consists of 2000 American, 120 Surat and 30 Per nambuco, and on speculation of 1400 American. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON.
