The illustra tions by Phiz (Leech) are the best part of the work. The British Farmer's Magasime.—No. 20. Ridgway, Piccadilly. The farmer and agriculturist should by all means take this periodical by the hand. It contains a great many articles interest, reports of meetings, and valuable upon SL suggestions.

He remains, in too many cases, the same ignorant, unthink ing, neglected boor; indifferent to every thing but his work, vasting his leisure time in discreditable ways, and reducing ;elf below the beasts of the field. It is pretty generally admitted that a want of education followers of agriculture has formed one chief obstacle rapid advancement of that art. Where ignorance v-mindedness and the most inveterate preju . recall ; and hence the difficulty of working conviction on men labouring under their baneful influence. Now, if the want of education have had such effect on the onward course of improvement in the farmer's case, it will readily be conceded that agriculture has suffered in a corres ponding degree from the ignorance of the labourer ; for it is a well-known fact, that in hundreds of instances, where the farmer has been desirous to adopt improvements, he has met with such determined opposition from his labourers, as to be compelled to abandon them I abounds, dices ma ''We therefore plainly see one impediment, and, probably, nowever, with the old race, settled by long ears of routine into a confirmed course, it is likely little To attempt to educate such as are :e can be effected deficient and far advanced in life, is an object perhaps worthy of consideration ; but still something can and ought to be done, to overcome or shake their prejudices, and prevent their influence from affecting the rising generation. " In the first place, then, to weaken their prejudices, and ' " let them see thtit they were actually cared for, I should re commend that all farm labourers have free admission to every agricultural show • and that whenever a ploughi n g match was announced, the farmer should spare as many of his men as he could, without hindrance to his business ; allow them the time ; and, if they seemed indifferent about going there, to show them the necessity of seeing all they could relating to their profession. Secondly, no opportunity should be lost of impressing those men so strongly imbued with old notions, of the superiority of many of the modern practices over those of the old : and no labo u r s h ou ld b e s p are d t o accom - Let them see the comparison, when- plish tt ever tb conviction may happen to be an opportunity; let their opi nions on the subject be draw n fo r th ; an d, if their judgment should not direct them to a just conclusion, let that be the farmer's duty. "This may seem needless trouble, because it may be said, the old race must soon die, and their old notions be at the same time extinguished. But, as I before observed, it is on account of the young that we should do this, to prevent them from imbibing the same pernicious notions and, viewed in that light, the object is far from contemptible. " With respect to the young race. care should be taken that they he taught to read, write, and figure. I say, care should be taken that this be done. But who is to do it ? is the na tural question I answer—the landlords, the farmers, and the parents of the children; and it seems a proper object for the employment of a portion of the funds of agricultural so- When t school education is completed, then comes the business training, on which, of course, very much de pends ; therefore, on no account should the care of those who 1 over the boy's progress at school, be slack ,me.

BY CUARLZS SWAIN Walruslev, Liverpool ; Tilt and Bogue, London. 1 vol. p.p. 310. We now conclude our notice of Mr. Swain's work. Hav ing drawn sufficient attention to the poem whi c h gives the book its name, to show its great merits, we now turn to the ratisolladesouz efruilon; G lit4Y* fore tbo public, with music set to them by the-most popular composers of the day. Mr. George tlargreaves, skilful and talented not only as a composer but as an artist, has written very charming melodies to some of them. One ballad, entitled "It was the Early Winter," is a perfect gem. This portion of the work contains so many very clever composi tions, we hardly know which to select as specimens. We, however, give the following a place, recommending the book to notice as one of the most elegant and clever that has issued from the press this season. We have already spoken of the illustrations ; and in again noticing them, we have compared them to those in " Rogers's Italy" and other works, and consider them quite equal in taste, beauty, and execution. THE PEASANTRY OF ENGLAND. The Peasantry of England, The merry hearts and free ; The sword may boast a braver band — But give the scythe to me ! Give me the fame of industry, Worth all your classic tomes ! God guard the English Peasantry, And grant them happy homes ! The sinews of old England ! The bulwarks of the soil ! How much we owe each manly hand, Thus fearless of its toil ! Oh, he who loves the harvest free, Will sing where'er he roams, God bless the English Peasantry, And give them happy homes ! God speed the plough of England ! We'll hail it with three cheers : And here's to those whose labour planned The all which life endears ! May still the wealth of Industry Be seen where'er man roams ; A cheer for England's Peasantry ! God send them happy homes ! FORGIVE AND FORGET. Forgive and Forget ! why the world would be lonely, The garden a wilderness left to deform ; If the flowers but remember'd the chilling winds only, And the fields gave no verdure for fear of the storm ! Oh, still in thy loveliness emblem the flower, Give the fragrance of feeling to sweeten life's way ; And prolong not again the brief cloud of an hour, With tears that but darken the rest of the day ! Forgive and Forget ! there's no breast so unfeeling But some gentle thoughts of affection there live ; And the best of us all require something concealing, Some heart that with smiles can forget and forgive ! Then away with the cloud from those beautiful eyes, That brow was no home for such frowns to have met Oh, how could our spirits e'er hope for the skies, If Heaven refused to Forgive and Forget ! OLD FRIENDS TOGETHER. Oh, time is sweet, when roses meet With Spring's sweet breath around them, And sweet the cost, when hearts are lost, If those we love have found them ! And sweet the Mind, that still can find A star in darkest weather ! But nought can be so sweet to see, As old friends met together'. Those days of old, when youth was bold, And Time stole wings to speed it, And youth ne'er knew how fast time flew— Or knowing, did not heed it ! Though gray each brow that meets us now— For age brings wintry weather— Yet nought can be so sweet to see As those old friends together ! The few long known, that years have shown, With hearts that friendship blesses; A hand to cheer=perchance, a tear To soothe a friend's distresses ! That helped and tried—still side by side — A friend to face hard weather ; Oh, thus may we yet joy to see, And meet old friends together ! Gawthrop's Journal. Gawthrop, Liverpool This useful little periodical is fast working its way into public notice and favour. It contains many very valuable original essays, poems, and interesting tales, as well as re ports of lectures delivered at the Mechanics' and other institutions. The :want of a paper such as this has often been felt and expressed in Liverpool. The spirited exertions which are now being made by the proprietor deserve to be crowned with success. The Churchman. Painter, Strand, London We have received the numbers of this magazine for De cember and this month, and have already made some im portant extracts. The letter from the Rev. G. S. Faber possesses more than usual interest, and though we are not sufficiently skilled in theological controversy to be able to say that Mr. Faber proceeds in all his statements upon scrip tural grounds, he certainly disproves many of the dogmas of the Tractarian School, and asserts and maintains the real principles of the Anglican Church with consummate ability and force. We have already spoken in the highest terms of the article headed " The Church and the Nation," two of which appear in the numbers before us, and we need only now say, that they elucidate in a clear and satisfactory man ner the politics which churchmen ought to hold and strive to propagate. A considerable mass of valuable information is here gathered together, and the following extract is gratify ing to the members of the church, since it demonstrates the fallacy of the cry that the nation as such feels no interest in the success of the established religion of the country. Now then let us look at the annual revenues of some of our principal Church Societies, or Societies supported by Church men. We will say nothing of the Charity Schools, or of the National Schools, or of the Infant and Sunday Schools be longing to the churches throughout the length and breadth of the land ; because dissenters sometimes contribute to these, especially in rural districts, where otherwise the children would have no education at all. But let us look at the re venues of our Church Societies:— _ _ Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts _ Prayer Book and Homily Society Society for Providing Additional Curates, Church Missionary Society Britishand Foreign . Bible SOciety (at least two-thirds of the total of £150,000 contributed by Church men) The London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews The Colonial Church Society The Reformation Society The Protestant Association 78,000 3,000 53,500 104,100 100,000 20,000 2,000 2.000 2,000 The Hibernian Society (now wholly Church of Eng land The Church Pastoral Aid Society The Church Building Society 44,000 The Parental National School Society Here is a total of £608,500 per annum raised by the mem bers of the Church of England for church objects, and proving the attachment of the donors and subscribers to church principles. Though we by no means approve of all these societies, we do contend that they are avowedly church societies, and the subscribers to them conceive that they are in accordance with the spirit and discipline of the church. What, then, is the sum total of what we have been endea vouring to establish? First, that there are three millions, at least, of the population of Great Britain who are only ad dressed on the concerns and interests of their souls by the Church of England. Secondly, that there are some millions more who have a very few dissenting teachers scattered amongst them, viz., in the parishes of from three hundred to two thousand population ; and that nearly all these persons are churchmen. Thirdly, that even in the large parishes, where the pew rents are adequate to support dissent, the ac commodation afforded to the population by dissent is so small, that even that circumstance alone would prove that the vast majority was church. Fourthly, that no sort of comparison can be instituted between the members who re spectively attend at churches and at meeting-houses, even in the districts most favourable to dissent; and, finally, as the most conclusive proof that churchism is not nominal, but real and vital, the amazing suns of £608,500 per annum is raised by churchmen for the societies we have named to carry out and support what at least they believe to be church principles. Telegraphic Railways, or the Single Way recommended by Safety, Economy, and Efficiency, under the Safe guard and Control of the Electric Telegraph. By Wm. Fothergill Cooke, lisq. London : Siropkin, Marshall, and Co. 1842. The object of the pamphlet before us is, as stated in the preface, " to add to the safety and efficiency of railway com munication, by means, not more, but less, expensive than those now adopted,"—and which, we may add, have been of late unhappily shown to be so defective,—and " to overcome some objections to the formation of auxiliary single lines, by suggestions calculated to give them the safety and efficiency now supposed to be exclusively within the reach of double lines." This object the author proposes to accomplish by means of the ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH, the adoption of which he recommends upon all great lines as far preferable to the present loose system, and ensuringinfinitely greater safety to the public than the establishment of any system of time tables, however accurately attempted to be adhered to. The mode of working this telegraph, as at present in use on the Blackwall and Great Western railways, is very clearly explained ; and we only regret that we have not space to give the description entire, for the information of our readers. To one unaccustomed to watch the ingenuity by which great philosophical principles are reduced into practical working, the application of a fluid so subtle as that of electricity to the purpose of conveying information between places at any given distance asunder, at first sight appears almost a chi maera ; and especially when it is borne in mind that the chief parties to whom its working must be confided are necessarily little removed, if at all, from the condition of ordinary servants—and are in some cases mere boys. And yet we know that it is worked, upon those lines where it is in operation, with a facility and exactitude which is per fectly surprising ; and that, by its agency, the person depu ted to work it can have placed before him, at any moment, the position of every train upon the line, whether going or returning, defined almost as precisely as if it was laid down in a bird's eye view, or upon a map. The description given by Mr. Cooke, and the illustrations by which it is accompa nied, cannot fail to make the utility and practibility of the telegraph perfectly intelligible. By the application of this protection against collisions and other accidents resulting to railway trains, from their con ductors being unacquainted with the state of the line over which they have to pass, the inventor of this telegraphic system contends that the formation of a double line of rails upon many auxiliary or less important railways may be safely dispensed with, and a great saving of expense thereby effected ; and that, where it may be thought inexpedient to construct an entire railway with a single line, that principle may, with v ery economical results, be resorted to wherever expensive works—such as viaducts, deep cuttings, bridges, &e.—are required. Upon these points the writer's views, and a tho rough appreciation of the system of telegraphing which he advocates, are well worthy of the attention of all parties con nected with railway undertakings ; and we, therefore, cordi ally recommend a perusal of the present pamphlet to our readers. rmt FACTORY SYsTni (Fro ?antler's Fleet _Papers The following anecdote will be interesting was or.re visited by two factory cripples. Joseph had been " done up" at the age of sixteen ; William was " finished" at thirty-one. 1 was weary when they called. I jokingly told them 1 wanted a little repose, but I could safely sleep under their protection; they were my body-guard. I observed that that expression, though meant quite friendly, pierced to their hearts. They blushed, looked at their deformities, and then one of them said, " We wish we were better able, King.' " They thought that I slept. I heard the following conver- William.—Joseph, have you got over the shame of being crippled when you meet any person ? Joseph.—No, William, I think I newer shall. William.—l wish I could. I know that it is very wrong, but I cannot help it. I sometimes think the shame is worse to bear than the pain. Many a time, when lam passing per sons in the street, if I see their eyes glance at my legs, the blood flushes into my face, and I conk' wish myself under the flags. I know that it is very wrong. I pray to be de livered from it. but I fear 1 never shall. Joseph.—Why you know, William, it is not our fault : we have done nothing wrong to cause our deformity, it is our masters should shame ; but I am like yourself, I get out of the way as much as I can when I see people look at me. But if I see a gentleman with crooked legs 1 am so pleased ! I know that it is wrong, but I cannot help it. He makes me think better of myself. William.—When I see people with fine limbs, how I envy them ! But I don't see why we should feel so, for, as you say, we are not to blame. I interrupted them by saying, " If England has any cause to be proud of her manufacturing system, you ought to be as proud of your wounds as the bravest warrior at Greenwich or Chelsea is of his ; without disparagement to them, you are as deserving of pensions as they." William then said, " I shall never forget one day, when I was in company with strangers, who were conversing about me. They could not see my crooked legs (they were under the table) ; but they saw I had lost my arm. They took me for a soldier. For a while I felt such pleasure ! I seemed to be quite another creature. But at length, unhappily, one of them asked me What regiment I had served in ? In what battle I had been wounded ?' I could not tell him a lie, all my brave noble feelings vanished, how I blushed ! I could have hid myself under the table! I wished myself anywhere else than there, when I was forced to say, ' I was wounded in the factory ;' they then knew that the supposed veteran was only a poor factory-lad." William concluded by saying to Joseph, "Well, what is past cannot be helped ; we must do all we can to as sist ' the old King' in getting a Ten Hours' Factory Bill, and save others from our fate." Mr. Thornhill, I was much affected with that scene. None were present save the " King" and his two crippled " sub jects." Really, I was proud of them, and resolved to get them an asylum if I could. And now, sir, permit me to urge the friends of the poor everywhere to be up and stirring to the help of Lord Ashley. His lordship has taken his stand; he has set a noble exam ple; he will, no doubt, early in the next session, again at tempt to obtain a ten hours' factories' regulation act. He will, of course, he met by the keenest opposition of the leaguers. His lordship will require the aid of all true Chris tians. I, therefore, entreat all ministers of religion to make it their business to forward petitions to parliament, praying for a ten hours' factory law. Oh, that every bishop, priest, and deacon, would see to it, that he obtains one ! I know of nothing that would so much unite the poor to the priest hood. How shall Ibe rejoiced if thus, at last, my labours should be crowned by the church. On the cover of this Fleeter are inserted two forms of pe tition, for the use of those in the factory districts, who might otherwise be at a loss for the proper words. I earnestly pray that every clergyman who reads this letter may become a helper in this great and good work. The landlords and agriculturists will do well to lend their aid. It is their interest as well as their duty. I hope that Riddlesworth will set the example, and that from every nook and corner of the land petitions will now be forwarded to parliament for my poor, innocent, and cruelly oppressed clients. Forgive my importunity—l feel most keenly on this sub lect. The spirits of Gould and Sadler, smiling, urge me on ward. I cannot cease to plead until their prayer and mine is answered. To the inhabitants of the factory villages and towns I need say very little. They know and feel that their duty requires that they should be stirring now. I would, however, suggest that this time the West Riding of Yorkshire and South Lan cashire should have a master. Meetings in villages and towns are well and good, as far as they go ; but to back Lord Ashley triumphantly those large districts should have their pro vincial gatherings! " Ten Hours' Bill men," everywhere look to it ; the " King" wills " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto gether." See, Victory waits to crown your efforts ! Cheer me, in my cell, with the realization of my hopes !—Ashley for ever—Ashley for ever—The Ten Hours' Bill, and no surrender! Poor William Dodd ! You have not forgotten the touching account of his sufferings ? Poor fellow, how I re joice that Heaven directed his steps to this cell, rather than to Kendal Union Workhouse, where, had he not come here, in all probability he would now, as thei reward of his indus try and sufferings in the service of the Leaguers, have been lingering his life away, instead of moving in that sphere of useful labour which he has marked out for himself. The kindness of many friends made William, as he thought, very rich ; so, with the few pounds which would have main tained him in idleness during the winter, he has been on a tour of inspection in the factory districts. He has obtained most valuable information of the present condition of the factory-workers. He is now returned, and is compiling the journal of his tour. If he is aided by his friends, he intends to publish it in a series of letters. At the present juncture, William Dodd's forthcoming work will be worth a Jew's eye ! What the price will be, I cannot just now ascertain. . . If these observations should prove the means of obtaining my friend William a little aid, so as to insure the publication of his letters, and reward him for his exertions, I shall re joice. That " brand plucked from the fire," is a very grateful creature. I requested him not to trouble himself with wri ting to me often on his journey. He no sooner returned to town than he sent me a letter, which 1 had intended to insert here, because I love the lad, and it is due to him that he should once more speak for himself in my little Fleeters. The want of room, however, forces me to delay the insertion of William's epistle till next week. I am, your prisoner, RICHARD OASTLER. A GRIEVANCE !-PROTESTANT PERSECUTION OF ROMAN CATHOLICS. (From the Dublin Statesman.) The Evening Post gives us an introduction to K. Digby's letter from Southampton, attributing, in the most admirable cock-and-bull style possible, the burning of that gentleman's house to Protestant incendiaries. The facts were briefly these :—Mr. Digby, a Roman Catholic, received on a visit into his house the other evening the reverend apostate Sib thorpe. In the course of the night the house was discovered to be in flames ; the family all escaped with ease, and no thing was consumed but some plate, curiosities, clothes, and altar furniture! Without any hesitation whatever the circumstance is as cribed to Protestant fanaticism by the Evening Post for the following wise reasons : Ist. Because a sermon had been preached against the apos tacy on the Sunday immediately preceding! We would advise our Protestant controversialists in this city to keep their tongues quiet, or they may be convicted of arson if any Romanist edifice should catch fire within a month after their last sermon _ . 2d. Because some people in Southampton were heard to say, after the sermon, " Old Sibthorpe ought to be burned out." . . Indubitably these were the very incendiaries themselves. We should feel much indebted to the Evening Post if he would catch and hang them. 3d. Because, when Mr. Sibthorpe was getting out of his carriage at the hotel at Southampton, some of the people said " there he is ! " This reason is worth a bushel. It is accordingly clear as day that the fire was the result of ma lice, and malice the result of the sermon, and the sermon the result of Mr. Sibthorpe's own conduct ; argal—Mr. Sibthorpe burned the house itself ! But this is carrying the sorites a step too far for the needful. Now, Kenelm H. Digby, Esq. who dates on " the Feast of the Epiphany," and joins with the Puseyites and the rest of his Romanist fraternity in knocking the days of the week and the days of the month out of their lives, to our very great annoyance ; this same burned-out gentleman has just as much modesty as the Post in ascribing the affair to in cendiarism, and with about as much good reason, too ; for instance— First of all—by the letter it appears that the fire burned chiefly towards the top of the house, and was very nearly extinguished by the efforts of the servants and Mr. Dillon himself, till it caught on a gutter, and so extended through the principal part of the building. The fire was discovered at three o'clock ; at one all was safe, when the servants in spected it ; accordingly, though the house was found burn ing towards the top, it must have been lit from the bottom through a pantry window close to the ground, saith the afore said Mr. Dillon ! It is rather difficult to make out how a house could burn upwards from the bottom to the top, and yet be very nearly extinguished by a few servants. But so it was, and a manifest proof in itself that it was the work of an incendiary. Some things declare their own nature and origin ; this is one of them, very luckily. 2d. The sermon was preached ; therefore, &c. 3d. Some person was beard to say, after the sermon, that Sibthorpe ought to be burned ; therefore, &c. 4th. In a P.S. the writer adds, " the police had been round about ten minutes before, and all was safe. I am convinced the fire was not accidental ! " So, in ten minutes the house from bottom to top was in flames, and therefore the work was that of a protestant fanatic. Q. E. D. What a poor, dull, plodding thing is this same popery, how ill able to take care of itself, how incapable of fixing odium on its opponents! We know it well, though, and read here nothing more than another instance of its deceitful and lying character, its ready resort to any and every species of falsehood, deep or shallow, provided it can asperse pro testantism, and assume before a gullible multitude the pitiful aspect of a persecuted innocent. For our own part we can easily conceive that the fire was effected by a popish conspi racy, in order to move the compassion of England towards the pretended sufferers. Such things have been done a hun dred times over, and are quite in keeping with a religion founded and worked on deception. STATE OF TRADE ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN. 10.— To-day being the new market, there has been a numerous attendance ; but not a proportionate quantity of business transacted. Prices yet remain low. In the wool market there is nothing new to report. MANCHESTER, JAN. 12.—There was rather less animation in the market yesterday than on the two preceding Tues days ; and those spinners and manufacturers, who had de manded further advances last week, were generally content to accept the prices which were then offered but refused. The market, however, is tolerably steady, both in goods and yarn, at a trifling advance upon the extreme low rates cur rent about a month ago. In reference to a statement, which appeared in the Guardian of Wednesday last, on the export of cotton goods and yarn to China, we have been favoured by a mercantile house in this town with a statement of the amount of those exports, as compared with that of the pre ceding year; from which it appears that, in 1841, of white cottons shipped to China, there were 25,436 packages, the declared value of which was £771,589; and, in 1840, 21,284 packages ; declared value, £681,261 ; increase in 1841, de clared value, £87,328. Of printed cottons, the declared value in 1841 was was £71,962; and, in 1840, £7o,B6l;—in crease in 1841, £l,lOl. Of cotton yarn, the quantity in 1841 was 4,159,7801 b. ; and the declared value, £199,229 ; in 1840, 3,860,9351 b.; value, £185,143; increase in 1841, 2 88,8451 b.; increase in value, £14,786, THE CORN LAWS.—There cannot be a doubt that one-half of the land now lying waste in England is just as capable of raising corn as the Chat Moss was a few years ago, and is a great deal better than the major part of the grain-producing districts of Poland and Southern Russia. Why, then, should land be called into cultivation abroad by a repeal of our corn laws, when a much greater breadth of surface might be sub mitted to the plough at home? But if Sir James Graham's objection to the practicability of this suggestion be well founded as to England, what does the right bon. baronet say as to Ireland ?—Morning Hera d.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.—The Right Hon. Daniel O'Connell, who has been installed in his office of Lord Mayor since the Ist of November, 1841, has been pleased to notify through the morning papers, that on the 18th of January, 1842, the doors of the Mansion House will be thrown open, and swing upon their hinges, and that a grand banquet will be given to the hungry and long-expectant members of the " reformed " town council. Report adds that the general invitations will be on a rather limited scale, the net amount of the year's extortions by no means justify ing any lavish display of hospitality on the part of his lord ship. EDWARD OXFORD.—This individual, who is detained an inmate for life in Bethlem Hospital under her Majesty's warrant as a criminal lunatic, continues in excellent health and in good spirits, and is regularly visited by Sir Alexander Morison and Dr. Monro, the physicians to the institution. He beguiles the tedium of his confinement by reading, draw ing, &c., and does not exhibit the slightest symptom of aberration of intellect. For some months after his confine ment the applications to Lord Shaftesbury and other go vernors to see him were very numerous, but the public curiosity appears to have died away, and few strangers now solicit permission to see Oxford. When spoken to on the subject of firing at her Majesty, he invariably declares the pistol was not loaded with ball. Captain Gold, one of the maniac intruders into Buckingham Palace, is also detained in Bethlem under her Majesty's warrant. A MODERN BAUCIS AND PHILEMON.—An extraordinary event lately took place at Meslin I'Eveque. In a state of the deepest misery, and in an obscure cabin, lived a pair named Marie Ghislaine Baudet and Maximilien Peermann, who de pended entirely on public charity for subsistence. A little before Christmas, Ghislaine said to her husband, " We have already kept house for forty years." " True" (replied he), " we have suffered the evils of poverty for many years, and if God would be pleased to take us to himself it would not be a misfortune by any means !" Some days after this conver sation the wish of the suffering old man was granted. The old couple having been confined to their bed for several days, and feeling themselves getting weaker, sent on Christmas day for the village pastor. After the latter had administered the last consolations of religion, the old man and his wife simultaneously breathed their last, the curate being unable to say which of the two died first! The next day two plain coffins, escorted by a large portion of the inhabitants of Mes lin I'Eveque, and by a crowd from the neighbouring villages, were seen approaching the cemetery, where the mortal re mains of this unfortunate couple were buried in one grave. — Gazette d' Ath. HERTS.—COUNTY MEETING TO ADDRESS HER MA JESTY.—A meeting of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the county of Hertford, was held at the Shire Hall, Hertford, on Monday, the high sheriff in the chair. The Earl of Verulam moved the address to her Nlajesty, which was seconded by the Marquis of Salisbury. Mr. H eathcote, a county magistrate, suggested the propriety of introducing the word protestant into the address, in that part of it in which a desire for the preservation of the constitution, and the maintenance of civil and religious liberty, wa s expressed. These terms had, he said, been perverted from their original meaning; and, in their names, demands had been made which were diametrically opl,osed to them. Protestantism was, too, now assailed in high quarters, and, therefore, every opportunity should be made available for expressing their attachment to that foundation of their constitution and of their liberties—pro testantisrn. Under these circumstances he moved that the word " protestantism " be inserted in the address. The noble mover and seconder of the address instantly assented to the amendment, which, having been introduced, the ad dress was agreed to una voce. Viscount Grimston moved a highly complimentary address to Prince Albert, which was seconded by Sir Culling Eardley Smith, and agreed to unanimously. Thanks having been voted to the high sheriff, the meeting separated. MURDER AT THORNE IN YORKSHIRE.—Another dread ful murder, induced by drunkenness, was committed on Sun day evening last, at the above place, a market-town about ten miles to the north-east of Doncaster, on an unoffending lad of about 13 years of age, and of deficient intellect. About a quarter past six o'clock a journeyman shoemaker, a stranger to the town, rushed out of a house in King-street, and con ducting himself very violently, attempting to attack several girls and boys walking by, but they all eluded him except a boy of the name of Pashley, the son of poor parents, whom the intoxicated ruffian desperately and suddenly stabbed in the back between the s houlder-blade bones. The poor child fell immediately, bathed in blood, and a constable secured the prisoner. Mr. Mirfin and Dr. Guy were in prompt at tendance upon the sufferer, who was removed to a house near at hand. As soon as these gentlemen inspected the wound, they expressed little hope of Pashley's recovery, and not withstanding every attention was paid to him, he died in about three hours of internal hemorrhage. The murderer's name is Thomas Timms, but he gave his name in William Abbotts at first. He is about 29 years of age, and slender in person, married, but abandoned his wife a few years ago, since which time he has been tramping about the country. — Standard. ANOTHER SLIP ON THE LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL WAY.—On Friday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, only a few minutes after the train which left Tooley-street, at eight o'cluck, had passed the New Cross Station, much alarm was created by another most extensive slip of the cut ting on the southern side, near a place called Finch's Bridge, and immediately contiguous to, or rather a continuation of, the slip which took place a short time since. The quantity of earth which fell was immense, and covered the rails on both sides for a distance of 140 feet, and to the depth of nine feet. It is very fortunate that this accident occurred after the passing of the train, or the effects might have proved as serious as that which so recently took place on the Great Western. There has been, however, as it is understood, a careful watching of this spot for these last two months, in consequence of several flakes of earth having fallen at vari ous times, from which a slip was anticipated, though not of so alarming a character as it has proved. A communication was instantly forwarded to Mr. Gregory, the resident en gineer, who lost no time in repairing to the spot, and was shortly followed by Mr. Wilkinson, the chairman, and Mr. Cubitt, the consulting engineer of the company; no less than 600 men were set to work ; and, with the aid of a quantity of earth waggons, every exertion was made in endeavouring to remove the soil to a place near New Cross. In the course of the day, the number of men was increased to 1,000; and a platform was erected, which was to be covered with an awning, and is for the purpose of conveying the passengers over the slip to the trains, which will be on that part of the line, free from obstruction : the effect of this will be to prevent the closing of the line, and enable the several passengers to pro ceed on their journey without being detained longer than ten minutes. Gullies are being formed ; but it will be impossi ble to have the line properly cleared for upwards of a month. The soil is of a very pervious nature, composed of strata of blue clay, gravel, shells, ochre, &c. ; and it is supposed that the recent numerous alternations of wet and dry, frost and snow, have tended to destroy the adhesion of these various substances. — Times. MR. RICHARD OASTLZR.—TO all who sympathise in the amendment of the law regulating factory labour and the pro tection of women and children from the license of capital, and in a mitigation of the cruelties of the new poor law, the present position of Mr. Richard Gouda is one of interest and commiseration. Mr. Oastler, many years ago, became acquainted, by personal observation, with the miseries inflict ed on his poorer fellow-countrywomen and their helpless offspring in factories, and in conjunction with the late Mr. M. T. Sadler, he commenced an uncompromising and most disinterested agitation for their legal protection. He de voted years of indefatigable labour and rare and untiring energy to the cause he advocated, which he also materially aided by contributions from his private means. When par tially successful, a fresh subject of legal oppression in the new poor law sprung into existence, and against its enor mities Mr. Oastler has incessantly directed all his energies and abilities. For the last ten years, he has laboured in season and out of season to promote the welfare and pros perity of the working classes, not by giving to them worthless political privileges, but by improving their material con dition. During the entire course of his public career, he has been found on the side of the weak and oppressed against the powerful and the strong. For upwards of twelve months, Mr. Oastler has been imprisoned for debt in the Fleet prison, at the suit of his former employer, Mr. Thorn hill. Several of his friends and admirers have, we rejoice to observe, combined to raise a fund for himself and family ; and they now appeal to the public for support and assistance to carry out their benevolent design. The claims of Mr. Oastler are set forth in the address clearly and forcibly; they are thus pithily summed up :—" Mr. Oastler's constant endeavour has been to maintain the principles upon which the British constitution is founded; uniting the monarchy. the aristocracy, and the entire body of the people in a mutual and just support of each other, that bond of union being the church of Christ." The names of Lord Feversham and Sir George Sinclair, as two of the trustees of the " Oastler Testimonial," are sufficient guarantees that the charges which have been showered forth against his character are unfounded and calumnious. .4512R1C.:)ti Lti:;DoN.— American/ are to ba found to the conncereial quarters of our world, but by no means in the numbers they contribute to Liverpool, .where they may be found :it every evening party. As we do not in these papers intend to inflict upon the reader descriptions of that which we have not had leisure and opportunity to contemplate, we cannot undertake to describe the American in England. Once, and only once, had we an opportunity of contemplat ing the native born Yankee, at the hospitable board of a coin mercial acquaintance in the city. The biped was certainly curious, we might say unique ; though, as we have said, we cannot undertake to describe the species, we make no scruple of indentifying the individual, in the hope that our Zoologi cal Society may secure the animal without loss of time. The genius in question was attired in an amorphous blue coat, with huge brass buttons, a flaming vest, profusion of projected shirt and double ruffle, boots shaped like lire-buckets, nan keen unwhisperables fluttering about his limbs, resembling a purser's couple of shirts on a couple of handspikes, a white neckcloth with a loose tie, and a churn• shaped castor under his arm. At first we concluded he must be a lunatic, but felt relieved upon hearing that he was only a republican. He ate much, drank deep, talked loudly and incessantly ; his topics were varied, and, as we thought, somewhat tinctu red with incongruity : from one subject he rattled to another dogmatising and soliloquising : "free and independent—nig gera ; rights of man—Lynch law : 4th of July—slave breeding : civil and religious liberty—tar and feathers : John Tyler— Jim Crow (these he called great men—the latter may be) — corn-laws—loafers : shin-plasters—Van Buren : Congress— locofocos : civilization—Kentucky : ex-President Adams, and the puddings made of Cobbett's corn and treacle, which he said Adams had every day for dinner: GeneralJackson—clam soup canvass backs—Governer Biddle," and so on, from the beginning of the fish to the end of the Madeira. On the retire ment of the ladies, this extraordinary mammal called for brandy and cigars ; which been forthwith provided, he pro ceeded to imbibe and exhale, talking from beneath his teeth in a high nasal tone, expectorating, at short intervals, betwixt the bars of the grate, with the precision of a Chickasaw rifle men. The impression produced upon the company by the conduct and conversation of this sample of transatlantic hu manity, appeared to be unqualified disgust with Christopher Columbus for having discovered America, and a general incli nation to take refuge with the ladies. We should be sorry indeed to suppose that this remarkable item represented his nation; on the contrary, we imagine him to have been a living caricature of the American citizen, who is no doubt modest, well-bred, Christian-like, and sensible, as becomes his British origin. These ridiculous stories about Lynch law, tar and feathers, John Tylers and Jim Crows, we take to be little imaginary extravaeanzas, in which men will at times indulge who know that the listener must travel 4,000 miles to be able to contradict them.—Blackwood. g , )olpping TUESDAY.

The Oat trade continues ♦ery flat, but not cheaper. WEDNESDAY, Jan. 12. The trade is exceedingly dull this morning, and the prices are all nominally the same as on Monday last. The English Wheat, though dryer in sample, is still an inferior article, and the millers take only the most indispensable supplies. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 11 Our market of to-day was tolerably well, but by no means heavily supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was very superior. Although the weather was favourable to slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers numerous, the Beef trade was rather dull, at an abatement of 2d per sib, yet a clearance was easily effected. Only 90 Scots and 150 Sheep came fresh to hand from Scotland. The numbers of Sheep were on the increase, owing to which the Mutton trade was dull, and the quotations declined 2d pee lb. We were fairly supplied with Calves, which moved off slowly at last week's quotations. Neat Small Pbrkers sold freely, but in other kinds of Pigs exceedingly little was passing. By the quantities of Sibs, sinking the offal, LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, January 13. On account of the strong south east wind, we have no arrival of Potatoes to report, either coastwise, or from the Isle of Man, for these few days past. In consequence of which, the stock on the market is near exhausted, yet from the fact of holders requiring extreme prices, the demand is quite in retail, and the trade doing of a most trivial character. The principal town and country dealer awaiting a change of wind, when there appears little doubt but that we shall have a liberal supply forward, which may have the effect of depressing prices for a few days. Manx, Scotch, and Irish Cups 2s ld to 2s 3d; Round Rough, and Flat Reds, Is 3d to 25 6d ; Seedlings 2s 4d to Is 8d per 90 lbs. There has been a good supply of Potatoes brought to market by our neighbouring farmers since Tuesday, which have commanded full prices; but there is no alteration in the price of other de scriptions of produce. Pink-eyed Potatoes 2s 6d to 2s`lod ; Cups 2s 2d to 2s 5d ; Short-tops 2s ld to Is 3d; Cattle Is 7d to Is 10d per gotb. Turnips 26s to 28s 6d ; Manglewurzle, none. Carrots 37s to 453 per ton. Old Hay 8d to 'lid; new bid to Rid ; Clover 7d to led per 20/b. Wheat Straw 5d to 6d; Oat 4d to 5d ; Barley aid to 4d per 24/b. JOSEPH MOORE, Factor, 33, Salthouse Dock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 11. The receipts of Irish Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal into this port since Tuesday last are smaller than usual ; and, except a moderate supply of Wheat, with a fair quantity of Barley and Malt, the arrivals coastwise are trivial ; whilst of foreign Wheat and Beans we have to note a tolerable import, with 9,827 barrels of Flour from New York. At this day's market, upon a better attendance of local and country buyers than of late, a moderate extent of business was transacted in the general runs of foreign Wheat, in most in stances at a decline of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. from our last quotations ; a similar statement was also conceded with regard to English and Irish, of which very few sales were made ; fine red Lower Baltic Wheat, however, forming an exception, retained the rates of this day se'nnight. In Wheat or Flour under bond, no further purchases were reported to-day, although the latter was offered at a decline of is per barrel. English, Irish, and foreign free Flour, continuing to meet a very limited inquiry, must be considered nominally rather cheaper. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease remained in the same lan guid state as on Friday last, without any further decrease in value. Oats, although not in lively request, were more saleable at our last currency ; and Oatmeal, of which 3000 or 4000 loads have been disposed of to hold over, but not much demand from consumers, supported former prices.
