lo ottrp. OH ! GIVE ME AT LEAST THY SIGH ! B SAMUEL LOVER, ESQ. (From the Court Journal.) OH ! give me thy hand, fair lady, That snowy-white hand, so small ; Thy bow'r shall be dainty, fair lady, In a bold baron's ancient ball ; There, beauties of noble line, lady, Smile forth from the pictured wall, But it thou wilt be bride of mine, lady, Then mine will outshine them all! I see thou wilt not give thy hand, lady— I see, by that clear, cold eye ; If thou to my vow didst incline, lady, The rose from thy cheek would fly ; That lip is too ruby red, lady, hile mine is so pale the while — Nay, frown not, I ask not thy hand, lady ; But ah ! let tne see thee smile. I only did ask for thy smile, lady, Yet scorn to thy lip doth cling ; That ruby how will not bend, lady, Till Cupid bath touch'd the string! But since thou It not smile, fair lady, An humbler suit I'll try, For the heart thou halt broken, fair lady, Oh! give me at least thy sigh! LITERARY NOTICES Blackwood's Magazine. September, 1840. This is a capital number, replete with articles possessing an extraordinary degree of merit. Another chapter of " Ten Thousand a Year" only serves to inspire us with a still higher opinion of the powers of the unknown author. Since the appearance of the celebrated " Passages from the Diary of a late Physician" we have seldom met with any thing that has excited so powerful an impression as this tale. " Hints for the Hustings" is the title of an excellent political article, full of judicious suggestions and sage advice. We hope that it will lead to the practical results contemplated by the " A Visit to Selborne" is written in a style of en thusiastic ardour which cannot fail to charm the reader, especially if be he an admirer of natural history and fond of rural enjoyments. In " Stryck's Institute of the Law of Spectres" there is much curious matter. The Akohor is a quiz of the first water. The remarks on " The Bonndavy Question" are peculiary apropos at the present crisis, They embrace a complete history of this vexatious subject, " Da Walstein, the Enthusiast" is an excellent tale. " The Late James Smith," " The Royal Academy Exhibition," and the essay on " Style," constitute the remaining articles, Fraser's Magazine, September, 1840. The political articles in this truly conservative magazine are always of a superior order, and calculated to produce a powerful effect. This is peculiarly the character of the paper in the present number on " The Close of the Session of 1840." It contains a masterly exposition of the policy pur. sued by the present imbecile and expediency-consulting administration. We have derived unfeigned pleasure from the perusal of the article on " The Present State and Pros. pects of the Jews." It merits an attentive reading, which, we have no doubt it will generally obtain. " Life on the Leinster," is a capital sketch, full of quaint humour. "The Condemned Cells" is the title of a series of narratives which are infinitely superior, both in style and tendency, to Jack Sheppard, or any other work of the same school, " The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes," suggests many gr4v reflections. We recommend its perusal to all who are in,- dined to believe that there is any thing like decrepitude in Popery. The notice of " The Confessions of Harry Lorre quer" is a just but generous tribute to the most amusing writer of the day. There is much curious matter in the " Reminiscences of a Newspaper Editor." The article on the " North American Boundary," displays a thorough ac quaintance with the subject. Dublin University Maya:ine. September, JB4O, The most prominent article in the present number of this excellent periodical is, the admirable essay on " Church Establishments and the Voluntary System," which contains a complete and satisfactory analysis of the several works of Dr. Chalmers, Dr. Wardlaw, and the Rev, Hugh M`Neile, on these important subjects. We venture to say that no un , prejudiced person can rise from the perusal of this article without a deep-felt conviction, not only of the lawfulness, but of the necessity of a state provision for a Christian mi nistry. We are glad that " Milman's History of Christianity" has fallen under the notice of the editor. He has ably ex posed the mischievous errors of that neologian production. " The Portrait Gallery" is adorned with a sketch of the Rev. Charles Stuart Stanford, Translator of Plato's Dialogues. " The Rival Tanists" is a truly Irish tale. Miss M. A. Brown has contributed a second series of poetical " Sketches from the Antique," which abound in striking imagery. The review of " Mr. Woodward's Shunammite" contains some splendid passages in the shape of extracts from that charming work. George Robert Fitzgerald's - adventurous career has furnished materials for another interesting article. The Asiatic Journal. September, 1840. London : W. H Allen and Co., Leadenhall-Greet. In the " Review of Eastern News " we have a consecutive narrative of the affairs of the East, down to the date of the last despatches by the overland mail. This analysis of ori- atal intelligence is compiled with great care and regard for accuracy. The article on " Gang Robbery in India " dis- The review of " Southgate's Tour in Armenia and Kurdistan " is highly interesting. The same remark applies to the continuation of " Notes of a Journey through France and Egypt to Bombay." Under the head of "Analecta Sinensia " we are treated to some curious specimens of Chinese literature. The article on the " Dis- loses some startling facts covery of the Antarctic Continent" is very copious in its information. The " Memoirs of a Griffin " are written in a free and dashing style. The account of the " Ceremonies of the Peguers " displays some singular traits of character. The essay on the " Cultivation of Cotton in India" is of the highest importance in a commercial point of view : we are glad that the subject is attracting such general attention. The miscellaneous contents of the Asiatic Journal, as usual, are of an exceedingly varied and interesting character. 9lonial Magazine, September, 1840. London Fisher, Son, and Co Few periodicals of the present day so successfully blend the useful and the entertaining together as the:one before us. While the talented editor ever keeps the cui bono principle before his eyes, he never fails to gratify the taste of the merely literary reader. The present number opens with a biographical sketch of the Marquis Wellesley and the Duke of Wellington. We cordially agree with the author in his estimate of the pul,lic services of the former. The natural historian will derive much pleasure from the perusal of the essay on " The Entomo-Geographical Character of the African Continent." The remarkable essay on the " Taxa tion and Debt of England, and Effects of Revolutions," is calculated to produce a very beneficial effect. We would recommend its publication as a separate pamphlet. The account of " Van Dienian's Land" loses none of its interest. There is much truth and sound sense in the article on the " Representation of the Colonies in the Imperial Parliament." The essay on the " Monetary System of British India" is cleverly written, and contains many valuable suggestions. The article on the " Coalition of Parties" must surely have obtained insertion through some strange inadvertence. We should add, that this number contains a memoir and portrait of Lord Durham The New Statistical Account of Scotland. No. 27. August, 1810. Edinburgh : W. Blackwood and Sons. This number is exceedingly rich in statistical, historical, and scientific details:. It e. , braces a minute description of the counties of Bute, (complete) Ross, and Cromarty, (i n part) and Dumbarton, (concluded). Prefixed is a beautifully executed and coloured map of Li nlithgowshi re. The parishes included in this part are, Kilbride, Kilmorie, Cumbray, Kingworth, Rothesay - , Tain, Kilmuir Easter, Kiltearn, Rosernarkie, Fearn, Urquhart and Loggie-Webster, Avoch, Kilmaronock, and Bonhill. The Churchman. September, 1840. London : W. E Painter This popular magazine deserves the warm support of every sincere churchman. Its original articles are able and ortho dox, whilst its selected matter is varied and interesting. The exposition of " The Creed of St. Athanasius" is continued in the number before us. The sketches of the " Characters of Cromwell, Earl of Essex, and of Cardinal Pole," are The sound reasoning in the essay on astructive " The Trinity" must convince every candid reader of the truth of that sublime doctrine. We particularly recommend a careful perusal of ' A Tale of the Waldenses." " The Village Church-yard" is apathetic sketch. The correspond ence and ecclesiastical report of the Churchman embrace much important matter. The Village Churchman. September, 1840. London W. E. Painter heap repertory of theological and ecclesiastical intel rmsively circulated among the humbler lasses of churchmen. The present number affords a very fair specimen of its general contents. Among the principal articles we reconlise the edifying " Memoir of Sarah Berry," t to he on Ember-Week, an account of Edward the Sixth, v: hose youthful piety is so well known, the " Village Churchman's Sabbath Meditations," an ac count of the " Pram Book and Homily Society," and some further remarks on the Liturgy.

(From the Newcastle Journal) The returns of corn fraudulently purchased in the single market of London are almost equal, says Mr. Handley, to " one fourth of the aggregate amount of " corn sold in the one hundred andforty-nine other cities and towns of England Wales," where, according to the corn law, the averages are ordered to be taken. The same villanous practices are resorted to by the same set of wealthy plunderers in the marke,s contiguous to London, of Guildford, Uxbridge, &c., so as to help high averages, and raise high prices upon the poor by a famine artificially created. And yet we are told there is no law to touch these bloodsuckers—these leeches of the nation's substance and the poor man's food. For there is little question that the purchases were really made and paid, as from one part of the holders and fellow-conspirators to another, and that bank cheques can be produced duly drawn and paid, in proof. For such a description of people as corn regraters and forestallers are not to be caught tripping. They have been too often convicted not to have become wary, and, like London thieves, who after frequent appearance at the Old Bailey become so astute as not to be in want of Alderman Harmer or any other thieves' attorney any more, so the corn factors can manage to break through the meshes of the law without troubling the Board of Trade for an opinion, or caring for the people who take and calculate the averages. Thus it is the agriculturists are plundered and basely betrayed on all hands. When through the rascally manoeuvres of these famine breeders the prices of corn are raised through swindling averages, why then their brethren and confederates of the anti-corn law pack open in full chorus against the iniquity of corn laws, and quote the outrageous breach of them as the best and most conclusive of all reasons for their entire abo lition. Upon the same principle the offender against any law may plead his transgression against it as a proof of its prejudicial consequences and the advise ableness of its erasure from the statute book. This is the line of argument taken by the Sun and the Morning Chronicle, and at a convenient distance by the Globe, which sneaks along in the wake of these journals, as not daring to take a lead of its own, but humbly following where bolder coadjutors lead the way. The 8214 asserts that the whole poverty and distress of the working glasses are chargeable npon the dear corn. This is easily said, but where is the proof ? It will be necessary to shew that the people were better off, some four or five years ago, when wheat was at from 325. to 365. a quarter, than now when at from 60s. to 705., as the case may be. The price of bread corn is one ele ment poly, and the least, of the prosperity of the arti zan and general operative, The more important ele ment is plenty of Work at fair wages: The Morning Herald, the most able and uncompromising advocate of the agricultural interests, has placed this argument in en unanswerable point of view, The penny diffe rence more or less in the price of the quartern loaf is in fact of the slightest signification if an equitable standard of wages be maintained, and there is not one sane labouring man in the country, always excepting Elliott the mad Sheffield poet, (all poets are more or less crazy,) who cares a rush about any such foolery, so long as he is not ground down in his wages. That poor cracked poet, or maniac Elliott, may not indeed know it, but nobody thinking and writing in sober prose is ignorant of the fact, that all the cry against corn laws means in reality reduction of wages ; for, say th anti-corn law grinders, we cannot compete with foreigners in the production of coal, iron, cottons, and woollens, because hread ;:tutY 4 are clearer here than abroad ; that is, that wages are higher here than there. For if wages were not higher here they could produCe much cheaper than abroad, because having so much better machinery, and workmen so much better skilled. Therefore it is indisputable that the cry nominally against corn laws is a miserable pretence, and means in fact and in sense a cry against the wages of the la bourer, which the great manufacturers would pare down, old put the difference, as they generally do, into their own pockets, Wiring the labourer to the mercies of the 'No* Poprl,4ty pr XQ 441 7 pth9r gprt of starva tion at his choice. It is a fact which does not tell to the credit of the body at large, several respectable, inoffensive, true hearted members of which we know and highly esteem, ,as among the last to countenance such practices, that the chief qnti-corn law grinders and fraudulent falsifiers of the averages, grp of the Quaker tribe—not of Mark Lane only, but elsewhere: ip the country at large, as we could name and prove if we would, gild one of these days may. THE LATE DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT LUDLOW. LUDLOW, MONDAY EVENING.-It was fully expected that Misters, the young man charged with the atrocious attempt to murder Mr. Macreeth, at Ludlow, would be finally ex amined and committed this day, it having been the opinion of Dr. Lloyd that he wou ld b e so far recovered as to enable him to give evidence. He, however, is not yet pronounced out of danger. Last night he was considerably worse. This re sulted partly from his own imprudence. The unfortunate gentleman is said to be extremely fond of fish, and, contrary to the direction of his medical adviser, who ordered that he should partake of no solid food, he requested the servant to procure him some fish, of which he partook. The effect of this was, that portions of the fish absolutely protruded from the wound in his throat, which had not fully closed,—a partial, although not a dangerous, relapse was the consequence. The most active measures have been resorted to, by Superintendent Lewis, of the Church Stretton Dis trict of the county constabulary, for the purpose of disco vering whether or not the razor which was found had been purchased or lent to the prisoner. The following advertise mnent, by direction of the Town-clerk, has been purchased in the provincial papers : " THE RECENT ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT LUDLOW. — To Hawkers, Cutlers, and others.—Any person who has recently sold a razor, marked Ellin, cast steel,' having a black handle, to a person answering the description of the prisoner, is earnestly requested to communicate the particu lars to the Ludlow magistrates." This advertisement has as yet been answered in no way what ever ; but the superintendent of the Church Stretton division of the rural police, who has been actively engaged during the present inquiry, has traced one important fact, which, on the next examination of the prisoner, may lead to the full con viction that he (Misters) was the man who committed the horrible act. The fact is this, that Mr. Lewis, after diligent inquiry, has learned from a hair-dresser in Shrewsbury, that a person answering the description of the prisoner called at his (the hair-dresser's) shop and was shaved on the Satur day preceding the day of the attempted murder. The follow ing morning the hair-dresser discovered that a razor was missing, but having no suspicion of the prisoner, and not having as yet seen him since in custody, this matter is left for further investigation. It is said, however, that a consi derable difficulty lies in the way of identification, inasmuch as the hair-dresser states that the razor missing from his shop was stamped " Ellen, cast steel," whereas the razor found is marked " Ellin, cast steel." This morning the prisoner was brought up for examination before the Mayor, John Smith, Esq., J. Hutchings, and H. Smith, Esqrs. The prisoner still preserved that coolness of manner and possession of mind which he has manifested dur ing this protracted inquiry. The court having been opened, it became generally known from that imprudent act as stated above en the part of Mr. Macreeth, that that gentleman would not be in such a state of convalescence as to admit of his examination. The Mayor accordingly called upon Dr. Lloyd, whose testimony was to the following effect : " I have still been in attendance upon Mr. Macreeth. He is not in a fit state to be examined this day, yet I may say that he is going on favourably. He still remains at the Angel Inn. — Probably in a week (Monday) he would be in a state of health to be examined without danger. Lase, night he was not quite so well as he had been; 1 have given orders that none should see him except his immediate attendants. I cannot say even now that he is fully out of danger, My opi nion is, that it would be more conducive to his health to examine Mr, Macreeth at the Angel lan, rather than in a crowded court," _ _ Superintendent Lewis then produced a coat, known to be the property of the prisoner. It appeared that, contrary to the statement of the prisoner, he (the prisoner) had been in Shrewsbury the preceding week, and left the garment in question at the Unicorn Inn, from which house he had been ejected in consequence of his being unable to pay his bill. On the production of the coat no observations were made ; but it being understood that evidence of considerable weight would be forthcoming on a subsequent day, the Mayor, ad dressing the prisoner, said—" Josiah Misters, we cannot come to a close in this unfortunate transaction without first taking the evidence of Mr. Macreeth. His state of health will not permit him to be examined this day ; we, therefore, remand you until Wednesday week. On that day you will be taken to the Angel Inn, and examined in his (Mr. Mac reeth's) presence. After that you will be brought to the Guildhall here, for the hearing of further evidsficp against you ; and I do hope that on that day wp sh4ll bring this la mentable businesi to a Jose. You therefore stand remanded until Wednesday week." The prisoner was then removed in the custody of an officer. The utmost excitement pre vails, cot only in Ludlow, but in the country. LOUIS PHILIPPE AND THE AMBASSADORS The following curious statement is published by the Univers : _ _ ; - 15.; arrival at St. Cloud, from the Chateau d'Eu, the King gave audience to the diplomatic body ; the ambassador of Prussia addrassed his Majesty as follows : '" Sire, the King, uiy rn;ster, charges me to express to you the hopes that no change will.talie plape in the amicable relations existing between France and Prussis.; he is desi rous of preserving the sentiments which animated his pre., decessor. " Louis Philip replied, ' The King, your master, Mon sieur l'Ambassadeur, takes a singular manner of giving me proofs of amity, in signing a treaty which is an outrage on France. He places himself at the direction of a madman, like Lord Palmerston, to disturb the peace of the world, and all your censored German journals are striving to represent me as decided to submit to peace, at no matter what price ! Well, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur, I aarge you to tell your master that my sentiments are strangely misunderstood, and that I will show Europe that I am King of the [french.' " The ambassador of Austria was presented in his turn, and also underwent the ill-humour of the King, who applied to him, among other words, the following : " I thought Europe was too prudent to expose the peace of the world for a mere whim. I find that I was in error. Tell M. de Metternich, Mons. l'Ambassadeur, that I had hitherto considered him the first statesman in Europe, and that he forces me to acknowledge that my opinion was far too flattering. I had reckoned on him to assist me in savin ,, the peace of the world, but I now trust but in the sworde of France . . " This scene made a deep impression on all present at the audience, M. Rothschild was present in his quality as Austrian Consul. Uneasy at the King's language he went to the Queen, expressed to her his astonishment at the King's irritation, and begged her to intervene to bring his Majesty back to more peaceful dispositions, " When the King,' replied the Queen, f has a line of conduct firmly fixed, I never seek to divert him from it, and, besides, I share all his sentiments. Europe has paid no attention to all our sacrifices, to all our sufferings for the maintenance of peace, and now she insults us by endeavour ing to represent us as decided on peace cost what it may. This will not be the case. Do not reckon on me, baron, for intervening with the King.' " If we have not reproduced the very words pronounced by the King and Queen, we are positively assured that the above is their spirit. "We can certify the authenticity of this information. It is important enough to be made known under existing cir cumstances." PAY YOUR DEBTS 1. If you wish to secure the reputation of being an honest man, pay your debts. 2.

THE DIABOLICAL MURDER AT PEOVER KNUTSTORD, MONDAY EVENING.—TWO miserable-look ing objects, a man and woman, who are in custody on suspi cion, were taken before the bench of magistrates this morn ing. The man represented himself to be a file-cutter, and to have lived in Manchester. He said his name was John Crossley, and to all appearance is from 25 to 30 year§ of age. The yeoman states lierself to be the with of the other prisoner, and that her name is Ann Crossley. This was alternately admitted and 'denied by the man. He first said when ques tioned by the officers, that she was his wife, then that she was not, next that he picked her up two days ago, and lastly that they had been cohabiting together for the last two months. She appears to be about the same age as the man. They were both, to judge from the state of their clothing, in a state of utter destitution. It appears that the officers had been for some days, on the look-out for them. At three o'clock yes terday afternoon, they were found by Turton, the officer sta tigned at Altrinehain. 4 bundle of rags was all that was found in their possession. They arrived at Altriechain on the afternoon of Wednesday. On seeing the officer, the man said, " I know what you want me foi., it is about the Peover murder." He also, when in the lock-up, uttered some ra ther suspicious expressions, and gave but a very poor account of himself. The principal witness who appeared against them was Mr. L. Dumbell, the son of a respectable farmer at 01- lerton, some two or three miles distant from Peover, who said that after he heard of the murder, at half past 12 o'clock on Tuesday morning, he went with his brother to fetch some horses out of a field called " the Bottoms," at the lower part of the farm, and full a quarter of a mile from the high road, or 'arty path le .ding therefrom. He there met the man and woman. The woman wt t ; kohhing. He told the man it was no road, and asked him where he wanted to go. He replied to Mobberley. He (Mr. Dumbell) showed him . the best way, and the man then got over a hedge in a contrary direction. He and his brother -then tried to catch the horses, and left the man and woman. Presently he heard the woman scream ing dreadfully. She was standing by herself. He asked her where the man was, she told him he had gone over the hedge. We asked next, who the man was, and she said he belonged to her. He then asked where they had been all night, on which the said, " CM, dear me ! it is a shocking thing ;" but he could not get Ihlr to tell where they had slept. The man then came back, and he asked him why he did not help the woman over the hedge ; he said, " She was stupid and saucy." lie afterwards said they had slept in Knutsford the previous night. The prisoners, on being questioned by the magis trates, declared that they had slept at a lodging-house, kept by Thomas Whitter, in the Market Place, Knutsford, on Monday and Tuesday night. On this Whitter was sent for, but was found not to be at home ; his wife, however, came forward. She said she had no recollection of the prisoners having slept at her husband's house on the nights they named, but that they had been there once, about a fortnight ago. The prisoners were remanded until to-morrow morning. It is but an act of justice to them to state, that nothing more than a few halfpence in the shape of money was found upon them. ATROCIOUS MURDER IN DEMERARA (Pomo the Guiana Times of July 21.) Happily for the safety of human life, and the maintenance of the reputation of society, the atrocities which it falls to our lot to narrate, in the following recital, are, in this part of the globe, of rare and remarkable occurrence. Penny, or Penelope Rose, the wretched woman who has been condemned to expiate her deliberate and treacherous cruelty on a public gibbet, was married to Samson, a fellow slave, some time about the memorable era of Missionary Smith and martial law. They lived, if not happily, at least peaceably, and had children by their marriage. Five years ago, Penny, who had never been acceptable to her husband's family, having a reckless and turbulent character, com menced an adulterous intercourse with an apprentice on the same plantation, Harry Blount, subsequently her partner in crime, and now the sharer of her misery, with whom, leaving her husband, she even went to reside. When the passion of the moment was gratified, she would come to her husband again, who, a quiet, easy, unsuspecting person, was but too glad to receive her. It is singular to remark that in figure, face, and speech, she is one of the coarsest and most repul sive women that are to be seen. At last, Blount, becoming jealous of the possession of Penny by her husband, who, be ing a foreman, or under-overseer of the plantation, was, so far, his superior, threw out hints about putting an end to the husband's life. These the faithless and traitorous wife was but too ready to understand and act upon. In fact, not withstanding her asseverations to the contrary, the instiga tion to what followed seems to have principally come from her tongue, The labourers on the same plantation say she first tried poison, preparing a bason of soup for her husband, of which she forbade her children to partake, This failing, Blount and she laid a common scheme to murder by violent means. A Thursday night was fixed on : the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God were taken, and an oath of resolution and silence sworn upon them ; but the man's courage failed, and nothing was done. Next day the woman upbraided him for his absence, telling him, as she had made her husband drunk for the occasion, that he missed a fair opportunity. The plot was laid anew, and the solemn oath again taken, and it was fixed that the murder should happen on the night of Friday, the 26th of June : the time, premises, and mode, were minutely marked. For the last time, on that afternoon was the unfortunate victim seen alive and in health. As evening came, the domestic meal and familiar conversation occurred, and the savage murderess, it is said, attuned her temper, for the moment, to unusual sweetness. Supper over, she fastened, ow pretended to fasten, the doors of the house, leaving, by concert, the windows unbolted, knelt for prayer, and went to bed, her husband following immediately and lying down beside her, and their two surviving children lying on a mattrass on the floor beneath. Towards mid night, Blount entered by a window, and groped his way through the humble hall towards the bed-room. His para mour, broad awake and expectant, seized his hand, and, bidding him move softly, directed him to where rested the head of her husband, fast asleep it may be, although the evi dence is not explicit on this head, under the influence ofa drug mixed with his supper. Thrice Blount raised with his two hands a heavy green-heart club, to strike the fatal blow, and thrice his weapon fell powerless. The mysterious influence of the woman, however, overcame his fears or his scruples, and the fourth time he struck, and instantly fled, leaving, in his terror, the window and the door open. The wife, then, to complete the tragedy, cut in her husband's neck with a knife, and, when all was over, lay still beside him ga - e i ic n t, oietsushnsneletos,, mother, sounds, rewi c3ooarnnt:el illustrated, y until he became cold. We compile our narrative from l the confessions of the prisoners and the depositions of i o n f a cr f e e d w i credit. minor sle particulars,then made a b noise, pri vate which fro s she a s the a tt o awake as if of a person in great sickness, and awoke her boy, who father, pra og u pawn with h m w a e d i e L as if tfeignedo astonishment. To protract the period of discovery, she bade her son call one of his uncles, who lived a considerable way off. The boy, with remarkable intelligence, said he would call the uncle who lived close by. When this latter person came and felt his brother, the callous woman told him he needed not feel him any more, for he was d e ad a l r e a dy. She then made an effort to wash the pillow-case of the bed from the blood with which it was saturated, before the people in the yard were alarmed, but in this she was frustrated. The manager was called up : early in the morning an inquest was commenced before a Stipendiary Justice, a gentleman who evinced the most laudable circumspection in nearly all that lie did, and was adjourned to the following day, when first Penny and then Harry Blount, emitted the vo l untary de clarations which have led to their conviction. At the trial, the brother of the deceased, his son, a kept mistress of Harry Blount, with the Stipendiary Justice, and a medical man who examined the dead body, delivered very clear evidence, inconclusive of itself, but corroborative or explanatory of the confessions. As the little boy was ex amined, when he said he had had a mother, but Penny was not his mother any longer, there was hardly one dry eye in court. The prisoners' counsel rested the defence on the re jection of the confessions, which, lie said, were, in many points, informal, according to the English law of inquests, and had, moreover, been taken on Sunday, which is not a day in law. He dwelt, with judicious brevity, although with impres sive earnestness, on the possibility of comparatively ignorant persons having been terrified into confessions stretching beyond the truth. The judges unanimously over-ruled the technical objections, and the whole court, unanimously, afte two days' trial, found both prisoners guilty, him as principal in the first degree, and her as principal in the second, of the murder of the deceased, and sentenced them to death. At one time, the female prisoner had a chance of being considered not a principal, but an accessory before the fact, in which case she must have been acquitted, and tried on a new in dictment. After an address in which the feelings of the humane Chief Justice seemed to overpower him quite, Harry Blount was sentenced to be hanged at the common place of execution upon Saturday, the 29th of August. The English law, which never confounds the innocent with the guilty, requires that when a female is sentenced to death she shall state if there is any reason why execution should not be done on her body. Penny. with amazing brutality of manner, said she was two months advanced in pregnancy. A jury of three matrons was sworn in to try if sbe was with quick child. After examination in an adjoining room, they returned their verdict that she was not. Having been pre viously sentenced to the same punishment as her paramour, she was remanded to prison, to remain there until the day of her execution. As they were marched, heavily fettered, to the jail, the two prisoners were loaded with the yells and execrations of a motley and multitudinous mob. There is not the slightest chance, we are happy to learn, of two such demons in human shape being permitted to live after the period which the law has affixed to their existence in this world—but the remarks which we intended to make on the whole catastrophe must be postponed to another opportunity, when, perhaps, they may be made with more effect, than may be expected from the operation of the excited feelings of the day. EXTRAORDINARY MURDER AND SUICIDE We find in the St. Louis Bulletin, of 24th July, the fol lowing extraordinary narrative : NORTHERN PASSAGE. - LAMENTABLE SUICIDE OF ONB OF THE DISCOVERERS ST. Louis, JULY 24.—1 t will be seen by reference to the British papers, that the North Passage so long sought after by adventurous navigators, has at length been discovered by two young men belonging to the Hudson Bay Company. It is not our intention to enter into a detailed report of the me morable voyage, but merely to mention the melancholy fate of one of the discoverers. It appears that on their return to York Factory—the prin cipal depot of the Hudson's Bay Company—that they both set out for England, eager to grasp the rich reward which the British government never fails to lavish upon all her citizens who contribute any thing towards extending her wide spread domains—or to perpetuating her well earned fame. On the arrival of the two young men at Lake Winnepick, they dis agreed about the route which should be pursued, and there separated. Mr. Simpson, accompanied by Mr. Bird, Mr. Legros, and twenty or thirty of the colonists, struck across for St. Peters, intending to push on to New York via of the Lakes, and' from thence sail for Liverpool.—Mr. Dace, his compeer, with another party, set out for the Canadas. About the 20th June, Mr. Simpson and his party had reached Turtle river, where they encamped for the night. He had, from the beginning of the journey, exhibited symptoms of mental hallucination, caused as the party supposed, by the dread of being outstripped by his competitor in their long race for London. On the evening above mentioned, he had continued to push on until a late hour at night, and even then his feverish state of excitement deprived him of nourishment or rest. When they stopped, and while in the act of camping, Mr. Simpson turned suddenly round, and shot Mr. Bird through the heart ; and before the astounded party could fly from the presence of the madman, he discharged the other barrel, and mortally wounded Mr. Legros. It appears the party had separated ; and when he committed the murder on his com panions there were only two more present, one of them a son of Legros, who immediately fled a short distance. The dying father earnestly implored Simpson to permit his son to return and embrace him before he should die—which he agreed to, and beckoned them back, saying there was nothing to fear. On their return, Simpson accused Legros of conspiring with Bird, and asked him whether it, was not their intention to assassinate him that night? The dying man said it was. but on being interrogated a second time, he denied having any intention or desig s n of such a deed, and shortly after he expired. Simpson then ordered the two men to bridle their horses, and prepare to return with him to the settlement, but no sooner were they mounted, than they dashed off in quest of the main body, and overtook them about 18 miles a-head. They all returned in the morning, and when they had reached within 200 yards of the camp, they got a glimpse of Simpson at the door of his tent, and immediately afterwards heard a report of a gun ; supposing that he was determined to carry out the work of destruction which he had hopo, they attempted to intimidate him by firing three volleys in the direction of the camp, and then approached it cautiously. When they came up, they found their commander weltering in his blood, and on closer examination found that he had literally blown his head to, pieces _ " Far in the wild, unknown to public view," were the the three bodies committed to the same grave by their com panions, who then pursued their route with feelings more easily conceived than described. The party arrived at St. Peters about the Ist of July, in possession of the important papers, and other property be longing to the ill-fated Simpson. These particulars we learn from Mr. Wm. A. Aitkin, a trader from Lake Superior. Mr. Aitkin further states that the whole matter is involved, in mystery, which time only can clear up. The unfortunate Simpson was a native of Scotland, and a nephew of the present Governer of the H. B. Co. He was about 28 years of age, possessed of fine talents, an amiable disposition, ABd the universal esteem of those who knew him. EXTRAORDINARY FECUNDIT Y.—A short-horned cow, the property of Mr. Gill, of Cumrew, produced twin calves on the 25th of August, 1839, and on the 18th instant produced other two, making the unparalleled number of four within the year. They are are all heifer calves and doing well.—lbid. CLEVER THEFT.—During the late fair, Superintendent M`Kay, of the rural police, had a considerable number of young depredators apprehended and put in ward as protection to the pockets of the lieges. On searching them, a pocket handkerchief was found on one young scamp, " Why," says Mr. M`Kay, " this looks very like my owq," HQ felt his pocket, 411 d his own sure CDORgh it proved I The boy who attacked the pocket of Mr. Wicay so successfully, assuredly deserves tá be classed as A 1 in the police books.— Paisley paper. That a war with France is now regarded by the organs of popery as the most promising engine for carrying out the de.. signs of the Papal See against the power and religion of Great Britain, is no longer concealed. On the contrary, the fact is broadly stated and openly avowed. Nor is that en. gine to be directed against Great Britain atone. Fur frow it. It is to be made the lever for Uprooting the Protestant faith in every state throughout the whole extent of Europe. In short, war and the Propagandist system are now an nounced as ready to go hand in hand. —Dublin Packet. Dartmouth, the proposed packet station, is a town of great antiquity, and in the time of Edward 111. was one of the chief contributors to the armament assembled before Calais. A considerable Newfoundland trade was, during a long period, carried on by its merchants, which is now lost to England. Its prosperity, however, may be restored through the medium of steam-ships; indeed, its inhabitants have an hereditary claim for consideration from its having been the birthplace of Newcornen, who, in 1705, took out the first patent for a steam-engine. Of its harbour nothing need be said after the able report of the commissioners, and its proximity to Torbay renders it a most important and interesting maritime district, the scene of activity in the naval wars of England. THE SEASON.—We have had some fine weather since our last, but on the whole the week has been unfavourable, par ticularly for the wheats. The grain has considerably reco vered from the effects of the storm of Monday week, but a large breadth of oats, we fear, will not rise again. The harvest has partially commenced in the vicinity. At Halton, Mr. Williamson has begun, and at Hest Bank, our neigh. hour, Mr. Thos, Heaton, has got into a field on the shore side. We are sorry to find that a good deal of the harvest is still to be done in the south. A vast quantity of rain has fallen and the water is standing in pools on the land. — Preston Pilot. BOBTON. — In the neighbourhood of Boston the harvest is general, In many parts the grain has been led in good con dition. In Hallam' Fen the harvest is nearly over; and in the parishes of Kirton, Sutterton, Wigtoft, Benington, Sib sey, &c., the harvest work will be completed by the ensuing week. The heavy rains of Monday and Tuesday, accompa nied as they were with wind, have laid the grain and shaken the corn in many parts. Generally speaking, however, though the crops are thin, yet straw is heavy, and the yield above an average. Many hundreds of the sons of Ireland, who came down to Lincolnshire with the expectations that the harvest would be early, have returned. There perhaps never were so many of these men in this country as at pre sent. Their improved appearance is the subject of general remark.—Hull Times. STOCKPORT VIADUCT. — This gigantic and most wonder ful piece of workmanship is steadily approaching to comple tion, and assumes now an appearance of the most interesting kind. Already are the coping and ornamental top stones laid along about one-half its length—fifteen of the wood cen tres have been struck, two only remaining to be formed—nor are there more than four of the arches to be turned, the piers having been finished long since ; so that the whole twenty six arches, we should judge from appearances, will be com pleted by the latter end of October. At that period, we hope sufficient progress will also have been made in the line on the Cheshire side of the river, to permit the directors to adopt another station-house, as at present the distance into Hea ton-Norris, from the centre of our population is disagreeably inconvenient to the greater portion of it. As many of our readers may not have had an opportunity of seeing this " lion of Stockport, we will give them a slight idea of it by briefly stating that 22 of the 26 arches are 93 feet in the span, and that the height of the river arch, from its under-crown to the surface of the water is 107 feet.—Stockport Advertiser. MORTALITY AMONG CHILDWEN BROUGHT UP BY HAND. an inquest held before Mr. Baker, at the Moyners' Arms, Hoxton, on Saturday, upon the body of, an infant which was fed upon biscuit, the surgeon who was examined, in the course of his evidtnce, stated that it was a pommon observation of the mediCal profession, that they found that during the first twelve months, out of every five infants so brought up, one died. The fact was, that though the child may be healthy, from not having its proper food, such as nature intended for children, the blood became quite changed. On a post mortetn examination in the above case, the lungs and all the vital organs were found perfect, but the blood was disorganised, and there was a general want of blood through out the system, and which was the cause of death. Mr. Baker referred to an official circular, issued May 18, 1840, by order of the poor law commissioners, upon the subject (No. 4), in which is given an abridged statistical account in reference to the above subject. In that circular it was stated that the experience of foundling hospitals shows that the want of sufficient food is to adults, The Abbe Gallard states that at Parthenay 4 of the 155 foundlings died in the year after birth, or 35 out of 100 born. At , 197 out of 244 born, or 81 per cent., perished in the first year. He as certained that as much care was taken of the children at X---- as at Parthenay; but at X— the children were all brought up by hand (au biberou), and it is to the want of milk (au delaut seul d'allaitement) that the abbe and the managers of the hospital aseribe the excessive mortality. In the year ending June, 1838, 71,888 infants died under one year of age, the greater part of them of poor persons, and the probability was assumed to be that that arose from the coarse, innutritious, and inadequate subsistence of impove rished parents. THE SLEEPING PHENONfENON.—In consequence of its being reported that this unfortunate object of public curiosity was deceased, a friend of ours recently went to Deighton and wade personal enquiries, and visited the house in which he still continues to vegetate. His name is Thomas Bradley, aged 22 years, and he has had two soinniferouS attacks pre vious to the present one. The first lasted but a few weeks, the second during a period of forty weeks ! and the present sleep has now continued exactly fifty-two weeks yesterday (Friday). He has had more nourishment administered to him within these last three months than previously, and his personal appearance seems improved. He has within the last mentioned period exhibited some scintillations of return ing faculties, but has again relapsed. During his apparent approach to sensation, he is stated to have uttered some words ; but so incoherently and indistinctly as to be unintel ligible. He continues in the same posture as before, viz., reclining partly on his left side ; with one leg straight and the other crossed over it at nearly a right angle from the knee. This uncommon object has baffled the skill of every medical gentleman who has as yet seen him. It is, however, the united opinion of the profession that if he returns to sen sation, his existence will soon terminate.—Halifax Guardian. A)bipping .rtrelligtnrt. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 . —Wi ad E.

There has been but moderate business in Cotton to-day; the sale's are about 3,000 bags without change. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 2 The show of beasts was about equal to that of last week, and of fair quality ; of sheep rather better ; and lambs rather in •short supply. The demand for the best beef was good, but for inferior, a poor demand, but prices unchanged. There was also a tolerable good inquiry for mutton and lamb, but we cannot quote the least change in prices from this day sen'night. Best beef, 6d to 6e►d ; middling, Sd to std. Prime mutton, 6id to 7d; ewes and inferior, Sid to sfd. Fine lamb, (Sid to 7d; inferior, 6d to bid per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CORN' MARKET, SEPT. 1 The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coast ways, Canada, and from foreign ports have been again very trivial since Tuesday last, and during the chief part of the past week we have had frequent showers all over the district, which sometimes have fallen very heavily, and the weather has been very close and sultry with little or no wind or sunshine, the consequences of whieh cannot be immediately ascertained ; and although further than impeding the operations of harvest, no particular injury to the crops has, as yet, been reported, a continuance of such weather for a very few days longer would become very injurious, and would cause the Wheat to sprout, The Millers and Dealers having been very sparing buyers throughout the past week, here, and in all the country markets, in the expectation of the immediate release of foreign Wheat and Flour from bond, we have experienced bat very dull sales of free Grain and Flour at a small decline. The only alteration in the duties on grain from foreign ports on Friday last was a decrease of Is 6d per quarter on Rye.- There is now very little doubt that on Friday next the duty on Wheat will be reduced to 25 8d per quarter, and on Flour to is lid per barrel, at which, it is probable, the whole of these two articles in bond, here, and in the United Kingdom, will be. released, as a further decline in the duty cannot be anticipated. A recurrence of fine harvest weather, added to the decline in Mark.lane yesterday, caused an exceeding languid demand at this day's market, and sales only to a very limited extent were made of every article in the Corn trade, although a decline of 4d to 6d per 70 lb on Wheat, Is per barrel on Flour (free, or to be delivered free on Friday next,) ld to 2d per 45 lb on Oats, is to .is (id per 240 lb on Oatmeal, and is per quarter on all other articles was submitted to, and the quotations below may be almost considered nominal.
