NLEY FAMILY The family of Stanl Dugdale, and a the old Baron , is of early baronial origin. Camden, our antiquaries agree that it is a branch of of Audeley, co., Stafford. The im ,eys, was h, who lived in the reign of King John, tiir Adam de Audleigh, the manor of inediate founder of t William Aud and had fot Stanieigh, where fixing his abode, he assumed the surname of Stanleigh, or Stanley. The great-great-grandson of this William, was— Sir William de Stanley, who married Joan, eldest daughter of Sir Philip de Bamville, Lord of Stourton, in Cheshire, by which marriage Stourton not only came into the family and has since remained in it, but also, by the same alliance, the 13 family became possessed of the manor and bailiwick of yrall Forest, and thereupon assumed the armorial bearings since used by his descendants, in place of those borne by his ancestors. Sir William Stanley, Lord of Stanley, Great Stourton, &C. &c., was his grandson; and from a younger brother of his, descended the Stanleys of Cumberland. Sir William Stanley, &c., the eldest son of the above, married Margaret, daughter and heiress of William Hooton, of Hooton, and thus brought the Hooton property into the family,—which, together with the lordships previously pos sessed, have continued to be possessed ever since by it in lineal descent. The second son of this Sir William, namely, Sir John Stanley, K. G., who married the daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Latham, Knight, -of Latham and Knowsley, county of Lancaster, is the ancestor of the Earls of Derby, the Stanleys of Alderley, &c. &c. The present baronetcy of the Hooton Stanleys was created on the 17 June, 1662, the first baronet being Sir William Stanley, of Hooton, and the following are the persons who have held it : I.—Sir William. IL—Sir Rowland, his son. lll.—Sir William, his son IV.—Sir Rowland, his son, V.—Sir William, his son (died without issue). Vl.—Sir John, uncle to the last baronet, who assumed the additional surname of Massey, under the will of the younger son of the third baronet, and also the ad ditional surname of Stanley, under the will of the last baronet. Vll.—Sir Thomas, his son. VIII.—Sir William, his son, who died during his mi nority. IX.—Sir Thomas (the late baronet), his brother. X.—Sir 'William (the present baronet), his son.

Prices are firm. Business in the warehouses is generally pretty good. The great north road, from London to Edinburgh, is in several parts between Doncaster and Bawtry thickly over grown in the centre with grass. The high road between Stamford and Grantham, for several miles, forms a noble green lane. THE MOO RS. — Accounts have gone abroad, that the moor game of this year have suffered so much from " tape worm," that they afford poor sport, and that many of them are not " eatable." The results of the numerous inquiries made as to the state of extensive moors lying widely apart, coincide in pronouncing the above doleful story either the jest of a wag, or the complaint of sonic tyro who has not succeeded in throwing salt on their tails.

The superiority of the Perthshire moors in grouse is this year very decided, over the more northerly counties; and in the south the sport has proved an almost total failure.—Perth Courier. On the Lammer moor and Cheviots, grouse shooting has been on the whole an unsuc cessiul affair ; not omuch from scarcity of birds, as from the broods being strong.on the wing, and wild beyond example.

Ist. Out of the 250 names, 125 are ministers in small towns and villages in England, where there are few Dissenters, and those few obscure and uninfluential. 2d.

THE OBJECTS OF THE MANCHESTER CON- VENTI ON (From Fraser's Magazine /or September.) " To direct the attention of the religious public to the effects of the monopoly in food; to the principles upon which the law of that monopoly is based; and to the most legitimate and Christian means of obtaining an equitable settlement of the question, without civil convulsion, and without injury to the just interests of any class of our fellow-citizens."—Vide Thompson's Circular, dated July 8, 1841. _ _ To the effects of the monopoly in food. Then of course there is a monopoly. This is assumed. Mr. Thompson tells us so, and we ought to believe him ; but still, is it not just possible that he may be,mistaken Where is this mo nopoly ? Who belong to it ? All the landowners ?—Yes. All the farmers I—Yes ! All the millers ?—Yes ! All the bakers ?—Yes ! All the muffin-men, with their little trays and bells ?—Yes ! All the butchers ?—Yes! All the butchers' boys too I—Yes !—All the holders of dairy farms ? —Yes! All the dairy-men, and dairy-women, and dairy maids, too? (God bless them !)—Yes 1 All cheese-churners, cheese-pressers, and cheesemongers ?—Yes ! All cultivators of hogs and pigs (including those dear little squeakers called sucking-pigs), as well as all pork-butchers and sausage makers?—Yes! All tea-merchants, tea-importers, the East India Company, all sugarcane-growers, makers and refiners of sugar, as well as all grocers and dealers in tea, coffee, and sugar—both white and brown ?—Yes ! All wine-growers, wine-merchants, and dealers in wine, wholesale, retail, and for exportation ?—Yes! All market-gardeners, growers of fruit or vegetables for sale, and all vendors thereof, from Grange of Piccadilly to the lowest green-shop in Bethnal- Green or Shoreditch ?—Yes ! All owners of fishing-smacks and fishing-boats, all fishermen and fishwomen too, includ ing our old friends the sweet girls of Billingsgate; all fish mongers, and hawkers and criers of mackerel and herrings at six or sixteen a shilling?—Yes! All keepers of poultry yards, and fatteners of geese, ducks, fowls, turkeys, and pigeons ; all poultry-merchants and poultry-mongers, as well as all persons engaged in the sale of poultry, whether at fairs, markets, and shops, or on the highways and byways, in baskets or on boards, and whether live or dead ?.L.Yes ! All potato-growers, potato•exporters, potato-merchants, potato-farmers, from the Irish landlord to the seller of hot , boiled potatoes in a tin saucepan, at three for a penny (cook ing included), in St. Giles's ?—Yes ! What ! all monopolists ?—Yes ! Brewers, too, are they mo nopolists I—Yes ! Cook-shop keepers ?—Yes ! Pastry -cooks and biscuit-bakers ?—Yes ! These, in their respective spheres, are all monopolists in food. Nothing would be less difficult than to demonstrate this. They all deal in food ; they all sell food ; they all get the best prices they can for food. The pub lic only get food through them ; without them the public would get no food. They all make their fortunes (when they can) out of the public, to whom they sell food. They will have their own prices for the food they sell, with one excep tion, however, and that is the farmers, who can only obtain as much money for the corn they send to market, as th e supply or deficiency for the time being indicate as a jair and reasonable remuneration. All the rest are monopolists ; and " to the effect of monopoly in food," dear Thompson pro poses to call the attention of the " religious publi c ." But why the religious public? Is it because dear Thomp son is a religious man ? But who are religiou s men? Only dissenting ministers and popish priests ? This is surely a monopoly in religion ; and it may become necessary, per haps, to call the attention of the " irreligious public" to the " effects of this monopoly in religion." Wh a t wou ld George Thompson think of a conference to be h e ld i n Lon don to consider the effects of this religious monopoly. Yet something must be done or the dissenting cardinals may vo t e ab irato that they are exclusively 4 ` the religious public." Then why is the attention of the religious public only to be directed to this monopoly in food? Are religious men th e only eaters and drinkers in our cities and towns, villages and hamlets ? We know not. But 2s there a monopoly in food ? Can every man grow corn who finds it productive and ad vantageous to do so? He can. Can he grow as much as he pleases? He can. Instead of cultivating potatoes, currants, or cabbages, may the agricultural poor grow wheat, barley, and oats in their larger or smaller gardens and slips of ground? They may. Can farmers cultivate on their farms as much of corn as they think they can sell to advantage ? They . can. Are the English farmers a set of wealthy cormo rants who are so rich that they do not know what to do with their money, and yet so miserly as to prefer hoarding up their corn to allowing the public to have it cheap ? No. Are the English farmers a set of ignorant and stupid dunces who know nothing about reninnerative prices, and therefore refuse to grow that which would pay them best for its cultivation? No. Then is there a monopoly in food? THERE IS NOT. "Then if there is no monopoly in food, why is bread hih ?" I asks honest John Birt or dear George Thompson. will ask them another question, and beg them to answer that. Is there a monopoly in religion ? " No, no, no," they will all roar and scream at the mere announcement of such an inquiry, " there is not ; at least among Dissenters." Very good, gentlemen, we reply ; don't be angry, but then allow us to ask, why is that preaching the gospel is so expensive ? " We don't think it is expensive : four or five hundred pounds per annum is all we require for preaching two or three ser mons on a Sunday, and giving a lecture on the week night." But, gentlemen, the first apostles and preachers of the Gos pel, according to your oft-repeated statements, had neither shoes, nor scrip, nor money, and vet the Gospel was preached in Rome and at Athens. How%- this ? " Yes ; but then they had not such heavy taxes to pay ; and all the necessaries and luxuries of life were not so dear." Agreed to, gentlemen ; and as for this reason you require good salaries for preaching the Gospel, so for the very same reason the farmer, the mil ler, the baker, must be paid for their corn, flour, and bread. "Oh yes, that's all very well. Of course they must be paid —but not so much." Well, gentlemen, since you are (in your own opinions) competent judges of what is a fair remu • nerative price for the corn-grower, corn-grinder, and baker, allow us, the irreligious public, to believe, and to act on that belief, that we are judges (and competent ones too) of the salaries necessary to be paid to Dissenting ministers for their preaching and teaching, so as to establish a sort of general harmony between the principles they preach, and the conduct they pursue. We will have a conference, gentlemen, to exa mine into your monopoly in religion, and it is high time the irreligious public should occupy itself with the matter. " Oh, but what has the irreligious public to do with religious matters ?" Just as much, gentlemen, as the religious public has to do with irreligious questions. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has just given another exemplification of the good old saw that there is no royal road to knowledge, in the publication of a protest against the rejection of the commercial schemes of ministers by the house, of which, if he be not an ornament, he is at least a member, though for all useful purposes he is gene rally an absent or a silent one. The royal duke w:serts that the corn laws have not produced "any" of the beraefits anti cipated by their original advocates. His royal highness will not, we trust, think we are intrusive or impertinent in hint ing that they have prevented England being dependent on foreign countries for food, and have enabled its treasury to discharge quarterly his royal highness's well-earned and well-spent demand on its coffers. personstheir families, belonging NOVEL RAILWAY ExcußsxoN.—On Monday last, 500 , composed of mechanics and to B irmingham were generously treated to a trip to the metropolis by the Mechanics' Institute of that town, a special t r r e an t i urn h: Si °R Wednesd y, after having visited the Colosseum, i " been engaged for their accommodation.

Thus are railways not only become conducive to commerce, but to the intellectual gratification of numerous persons whose avoca tions would not of afforded them such advantages by the old wo4le of travelling. Our Northamptonshire correspondent writes to the point of weather, as well as crops. The information tallies with local observation. " Aug. 25, a very wet day. One of our most respectable agriculturists says that most of the corn is ripe, and the harvest becoming general ; all we want is suita • ble weather. The crops of wheat are not in some fields so good as had been expected, in consequence of the red-dust, induced by continued moisture. The whole of the last week we had glorious weather, and sonic fields of barley and oats were carried in good order ; much more would have been housed to-day had the weather been propitious; but it has proved otherwise.' There is a wonderful abundance of grass everywhere ; and the second crops are nearly equal to the first. Corn has risen in Northampton market, some old wheats fetching from £3 I2s. to £4; but three weeks fine weather would reduce it again." Of potatoes—one of the really staple crops of our country, —there are conflicting opinions; but we retain our expressed opinion, stoutly, that if, the sets fail and rot in the ground, the planter has himself to blame in nine cases out of ten. Either the sets are taken from worn-out, superannuated varieties, or they are cut, and suffered to become flaccid, many days before they are deposited in the drills, subject also to the contingency of a period of dry weather, the ground being acrid at the time of planting ; the vegetation, therefore, in such cases,. either proceeds languidly, or the set is lost, causing a blank. Now, it happens that we never remark any of these patches, either in field or garden ; although, as in the present season, some of the ash-leaved kidneys yield but two or three to a root, while others produce three times the num ber, in consequence of the drought of May and June. Yet, upon the whole, we find reason to base our report of the potatoe-crop upon the following notice, which squares with the opinion derived from observation :—" It is gratifying to hear that the crops of potatoes were never known to be more abundant than they are at present. This intelligence offers to the poor the consolation of looking forward to a supply of this valuable article of food at a cheap rate." The beautiful weather which continues to the present moment with high day and day night temperature, concur ring with the hopeful prognostic of the full moon, lead to reasonable expectation of the rapid gathering-in of a most abundant harvest. LADIES' FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER (From the London and Paris Magazine of Fashion) White poults de soie, with small green stripes, intermixed with pink bouquets, levantines brochees with small pink or blue spots on an ecru or gray ground, taffetas Napolitains in stripes or small cheeks hi every colour, moires d' ete in pink or blue, foulards de Chine, deep blue or dark green, with white patterns in bouquets or checks, are now very fashion able, particularly suitable for country wear ; bareges, amongst which those particularly remarked were violet, checked with white; but on account of the coldness of the season, gros d' Afrique taffetas, poult de sole, are the materials that have been most seen in Paris during the last month. The make of dresses continues much the same ; the skirt is still trim med en tablier with gimp and tassels, tight open bodies, with frill drapery, tight sleeves, also ornamented with gimp and tassels ; a Swiss guimpe, embroidered and closing in front with three buttons, looks well with this toilette; skirts are also still ornamented with a biais, headed by a quilling of the same material : the corsage tight, with rounded point and revers, also finished with a quilling, as well as on the sleeve, of which it forms the jockey ; the redingote style has the body closing with gold buttons, wide sleeves, half long, trim med with a double row of tulle festonnii, and quilled ; trim mings of cord form patterns in relief, A pretty novelty in trimmings is a rouleau of the same material as the dress, heading each tuck ; the corsage with fringe and folds sewed on half way down the body, and fastened low on the shoul ders. The ceintures, on muslin dresses, of small scarf of the same material, very narrow, have been introduced, rolled round the waist, the ends wide, and reaching to the knees ; they are trimmed with narrow lace, and a wide hem, with a ribbon through. In dresses of thicker materials, the cou lisses of the corsage are sometimes placed horizontally in stead of transversely, which has the effect of lessening the size of the waist. With respect to sleeves, they are very generally tight, variously ornamented : the prettiest are open from the wrist t 3 the elbow, and buttoned or laced with puffs of muslin lace, or similar material, passing through : gimp trimmings are so fashionable as even to be worn on peignoirs of muslin. The most fashionable colours are purple, oriental blue, green scarabe, orange, China black for dresses of satin, tissus, &c. Spencers are always genteel ; one of black velvet, high on the shoulders, and en coeur in front, with tight sleeves, trimmed with two biais of the same, was worn with a very pretty skirt of pink barege. having a flounce of the same, one-third the depth of the skirt. For children the spencer is square before and behind, with a narrow Valenciennes round the throat, and black lace round the waist; tight sleeves, with manchettes of embroidered cambric. Inlets of lace have been much used this season in fichus ; caps and handkerchiefs in the latter style. Some borders have been composed of six small inlets, divided by an interval sufficiently wide to admit a single row of embroidered spots. Cuffs and collars have also been made in this style, for neglige. Pelerines of India muslin, embroidered and trimmed with lace, are much worn, ornamented in front with small noeuds of ribbon, matching the colour of the dress. Many collars are also of cambric, with inlets of lace &c. Many scarfs are made of Cachemire, with light trimmings of gimp all round, and fringe at the ends ; the most elegant are white, and very full. Various other materials are used for scarfs, such as soft silks, lined in various colours, giving two different sides ; those of black velvet have also appeared, no doubt prematurely worn on account of the weather. Small caps of cambric and muslin are worn without ribbon : they form the prettiest style of neglige ; the bands, which turn back, tying on•the head, have a good effect, all encircled with light embroidery and lace. One of our latest accounts from Paris states that combs are again making their appear ance in coiffures, either ornamented, carved, or cut out, of pretty forms, suiting all the styles of head dress, and that they have been worn by the most elegant ladies. The form of bonnets is undergoing a little change—they are not thrown quite so back, and begin to fall more on the fore head. The flowers now used on bonnets also indicate the season of the year. Wheat-ears and poppies are again in favour ; and a straw bonnet was prettily ornamented with black and green grapes, and ribbon velvet of shaded green. Crape and paille de riz bonnets are universally ornamented with feathers, the shaded marabout to the bouquet of ostrich feathers, &c., &c. ; the demi guirlandes are reserved for pailles de riz and capotes; nceuds of velvet for straw bonnets, and trimmings of velvet, twisted with ornaments of straw, on Leghorn bon nets. White feathers, shaded with pink, green, or blue ; wreaths of roses, white, tinged with lilac, without leaves, placed round the crown ; bouquets of various flowers, &c., &c., are used for bonnets and capotes of silk, &c. Leghorn bonnets, of the straight form, are sometimes ornamented with a small lace veil, entirely covering the front, and con fined on each side and the place of the brides by a ncEud of green sarcenet ribbon. Capotes of paille de riz are pretty, trimmed with velvet ribbon, shaded in pinks, and intermixed with a small lace veil; the two ends of which fall en fichu, on each side, tying under the chin as brides, and velvet roses inside. Sewed Leghorn s are gentee l . Very pretty little cameos are used as snaps for bracelets of black velvet, now very fashionable : in a more elegant style bracelets are formed of tresses of seed coral, closing with a mend, which terminates in tassels of seed coral. TESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE SIR D. WILKIE On Saturday afternoon a meeting was held at the Thatched House Tavern, for the purpose of considering the most ap propriate method of doin g h onour to the metnory of that distinguished British artist, Sir David Wilkie. Upwards of 300 gentlemen were present. Sir Robert Peel took the chair. The Duke of Sutherland moved, and Sir James M`Gregor seconded—" That it is meetingthe opinion of thi s meeting that the genius of Sir David Wilkie was of that high order which en titles him not only to the admirati on an d gratitude of his c ountry, but to be publicly recorded amongst those whom she loves to honour.

The quotations have given way to some extent since our last, ranging now about 2itl. per lb. below what they were on this day week. No public sales will take place till the 7th proximo, but speculation is dull, in hourly expectation of the arrival of the overland mail. The following is the account of a female passenger with Mr. Green, on his last aerial voyage on Monday. " The evening was delightfully calm, the heavens beauti fully serene, and of that lovely blue which the Italian mas ters have so delighted in transferring from their own sunny skies, speckled over with numerous light and fleecy clouds, and scarcely a breath of wind stirred. By veterans in aerial voyages it was considered that a more favourable evening for a trip could not have been selected. At ten minutes past seven o'clock Mr. Green completed the act of separation from our friends, and we embarked, im pressed with loftier views and every prospect of a pleasing voyage, taking a north easterly direction, which current, with but little variation, bore us throughout. It is utterly impos sible for persons on their first adventure to give expression to their feelings. There is something awful in the very novelty of the situation that, to a great degree, paralyses the lan guage of description, and yet the awe may be considered imaginary ; for the balloon that Benjamin Franklin recog nised as a boy, appears to have reached its manhood, On leaving the gardens we were somewhat flattered by the cheers of those we left behind us, and they changed notes in propor tion as we towered over the lanes and thoroughfares adjoin ing. The motion of the machine was so imperceptible that it seemed not to us as if we were leaving the gardens, but as if the gardens left us. The first blush of observation pre sented to us a something like a schoolboy map—everything flat, diminished in dimensions, and curiously compact. The motion of heads, and the turning up of faces, partly indi cating animation, but more especially reminding us of bas relief sculpture. We soon triumphantly o'ertopped the ori entalists of the metropolis, and then the scene changed shades, and assumed a different shape. The river Thames became like an animated reptile, of ponderous growth, ser pentining along, and seeming to encirle in its coils the mighty London, the mistress of the world. Crossing the river be tween the tower and Blackwell, and surveying the scene we were passing from, the lights sprang up in rapid succespan, like glow worms in the twilight. The objects became more compact, and the bridges bore the semblance of beautiful and sparkling fillets, encircling here and there an immense boa constrictor, and fettered, as it were, or controlled, by white and riband-looking roads, the inlets and outlets of the great city. Shortly after this, we attained our highest alti tude—six thousand two hundred feet, or nearly two miles and a quarter. We had expected from what we had often heard that soma difficulty of respiration would have been experienced ; but so far from this, we fancied that it was more free than usual, added to a buoyancy of feeling per fectly delicious ; and instead of the cold usually resulting from a great elevation and a ratified atmosphere, the heat was unusually oppressive. We next passed over the forest of Epping. We now commenced rapidly to descend, till within 2,300 feet of the earth, as indicated by the barometer. For the first time we became sensible of the motion of the balloon, our gradual approach to objects enabling us by compa rison to form a judgment of the swiftness of our course. The most sublime object that accompanied us throughout our trip, when night had set in, was the moon and its effects on the scene beneath. The reflection of her beams on the river —now bursting upon the view, now disappearing—leaving, this in darkness, and suddenly presenting the same appear ance in a thousand different quarters, rescuing solitary scraps or sheets of water from obscurity, rather as if it were artificially produced, than the mere result of accident. As an artist, I was delighted with the light and shade of the scene; and one of the most prominent objects attracting our attention, from its uniqueness of character, was the moon's reflection on the bell, and the mighty shadow of the latter upon the earth. Although at the great elevation at which we then were, we were much surprised to find with what exceed ing and clear distinctness we could hear the voices and dis tinguish the words of those who, attracted by the novelty of the object, were assembled beneath, the conversation, mun dane and celestial, if not very edifying, was, at least, highly amusing. Mr. Green now became anxious to descend, but finding, from information afforded by the good folks below, that the ground was not well adapted for his purpose, we rose considerably, but still in the same direction, until we found a fitter spot, at least as well as the obscurity enabled Mr. Green - to judge; being without the guide-line. Having arrived, however, at a place that he thought would be suitable, he encountered a difficulty from the sudden springing up of a ground breeze. The grappling-iron was thrown out, but from the nature of the surface, a hold could not be retained, until after two or three attempts, when, with the assistance of the country people, the iron was properly planted, and we owed especial thanks to sundry little urchins, who bounded over hedge and ditch to our as sistance. We were sorry to find the balloon considerably injured, from having been a short time entangled in the em braces of a solitary ash tree. Our descent was, however, effected scatheless, barring sundry bumps and thumps, which, however, formed but a slight alloy to the pleasure of our trip. The gentlemen of the party then assisted us to alight, precisely at 20 minutes to 9, having been in the air exactly an hour and ten minutes. We were now on terra firma at Knavestock, near Brentwood, in Essex, 23 miles from Vauxhall. We were kindly invited to the house of Mr. J. Crouchinan, by his good lady, who was attracted to the ground, and to her kindness and the efficient services of her husband we were much indebted. Finding we were ina part of the country aboundingin cross roads, and the cattle being en gaged in the harvest, it was 3 hours before a conveyance for the balloon could be obtained. An unpleasant incident occurred after landing, some one having abstracted the ornamental drapery of the car ; but, through the vigilance of the police, fine young fellow was presented to us, manacled, as the thief. Mr. Green bad previously handsomely rewarded him, and to share with his fellows. It was our own opinion that the poor fellow did not wish so much to take it for its value as to ob tain a relic. A postchaise was obtained shortly afterwards, and we reached town in the morning, between nine and ten o'clock, delighted with our excursion, nothing the worse for an adventure or two, and looking forward with much pleasure to our next trip to tha Isle of " Sky.' " I have the honour to remain yours, &C. , " Bloomsbury," " JOANNA FORREST. A forgery, involving the loss of about A!400, was on Satur day last successfully practised at Oundle, upon the branch there of the Stamford, Spalding, and Boston Joint-stock Bank. A perso n w h o , it i s ascertained, arrived that day from Boston, presented a check for £4OO, purporting to be drawn by a well-known customer of the hank ; and some momen tary scruples of the cashier being removed, he paid the sum in notes of the firm. On Monday it was ascertained that the check had been altered from £4 to £4OO. The Oundle agent immediately pursued the offender to London ; but the notes had been changed for cash at Messrs. Barclay's early in the forenoon, and at present nothing further is known of the party by whom the fraud was committed.—Lincoln Mercury. CAPTURE OF 150 WHALES.—Stronmess, Aug. 24.—Our annual welcome visiters made their appearance off Houghton head on Saturday last, about six o'clock in the morning. The cry of " Whales, Whales," was immediately raised, the news spread with amazing rapitity, and Morpheus was suddenly freed from many a votary. And all the boats in the harbour, to the number of from 50 to 60, were immediately put in requisiiion, and all the implements of destruction from a harpoon to a carving-knife were quickly gathered. The morning was particularly favourable for a chase, and the scene altogether was most exciting. The cries of " Give way, pull together," &c., were heard floating along the smooth surface of the waters, while in the distance the monsters of the deep were sporting and gamboling. In a short time, the boats were up with the whales, and their heads turned in shore, when after a sharp run, they were all safely grounded on the Cairston shore. Then began the process of slaughter ing, and as it is the rule here, (Storinness,) " every man for himself," all were soon engaged in the work of death. There were about 150 killed, which, on the average, would be worth about £3 each, making the aggregate value of the whales £450. It is feared that, unless some proper regulations are adopted and enforced by the authorities, the blood of her Majesty's lieges will some day or other be mingled with that of the whales. Club law in any shape is a dangerous one, especially where the excitement is so great, and lethal weapons so ready at command. There was a good deal of bickering and bad blood on the occasion, and some disputes occured, which are likely to be brought to an investigation before the sheriff. In Flotta, Scapa, and other places the people make common cause of the affair, and share alike, which is de cidedly the proper system. Bernard Cavanagh has arrived in London, and bids fair to become a formidable antagonist to Mesmerism, with its manipulations, its galvanism, its brimstone and lucifers.

Rum, when in hogsheads, is capable of doing but little mischief ; but when it gets into men's heads, look out ! WHAT IS A BULBUL ?—A lady of considerable pretensions to knowledge lately asked a well-known wit what sort of a bird the bulbul was ? The wag, with the utmost possible gravity, replied that he did not know, unless it was the male of the cow-cow (cuckoo). An American, dining with one of our celebrated authors. made the following observation on beholding a statue of Venus, which he thought particularly well placed : you've got a tarnation convenient fix for that '—" I say ere stone gal." The New Orleans Times says, the inquiry of a gentleman if it was not " rather amusing" to edit a daily paper, re minds him of a question he once heard p ro p ou nded by a moustached, wasp-waisted exquisite, to an emaciated wretch at work on the tread-mill.

Was it the name of the celebrated Baptist Teeto taller " Beardsall ?" There is also another test, and one even more striking than that we have just supplied, for ascertaining the rank and importance, in the estimation of the dissenters themselves, of the persons who have voluntarily taken the lead in this bread and corn movement. It is that of ascertaining which of them belong to the list of country directors of those two societies. We have now before us the printed lists of the country directors for 1841 of the London and Baptist Mis sionary Societies, and we have examined with great care the names of twenty-seven leaders of this Manchester Conven tion with those lists. What is the result? _. That of all the twenty-seven, only THREE are directors, or belong to the central or general committees of those institu tions : one of which (the Loudon Missionary Society) raised no less a sum than £BO,OOO last year; and the other (the Baptist Missionary Society) £26,000 during the same period —those three being the Rev. Richard Fletcher, the Rev. R. Halley, and the Rev. John Waddington. . NOT ON E subscribes to " The Britieh and Foreign Bible Society," and only two take any active part in its interests. But one subscribes to " The Religious Tract Society," which the Dissenters boast so much of supporting, and are in the habit of eulogising to the skies. We next examined the lists of another association, which Dissenters once supported, it being then of a mixed cliarac ter,—we mean " The London Society for promoting Chris tianity amongst the Jews." Remembering the origin of this association, and the debt and difficulties into which it fell whilst under Dissenting direction, we could not help be lieving that these leaders of the Dissenting Bread movements would be found amongst the subscribers to a society, which they pronounced to be godlike and sublime. But once more we were disappointed. With the sole exception of Mr. Fletcher of Manchester, not one of tap twenty-seven satellites have ever contributed to the " Jews' Society ;" and of course, therefore, none of them belong as secretaries, presidents, or even as committee-men, to the auxiliary societies_or associ ations established in its behalf. RICULTURAL REPORT FOR AUGUST. (From Oe.Morniag Herald.) At a period of anxious suspense, when there has been in good truth ample causes for complaint, which have been worked up by interested parties into prognostics of famine and desolation, it becomes the peculiar duty of the candid reporter to search for evidence. We have done so, and hav ing obtained it—clear, impartial, and extensive evidence—we give a positive denial to all the assertions of injury, and also boldly affirm that there exists .at present no cause of alarm ; that the crops are one and all good, sound, prolific, and in all probability will be found ultimately productive beyond the average. Having so far dealt in assertion, we proceed to adduce our authorities. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, 7en o'clock ..-...0...- THE NEW MINISTRY. (From a Second Edition of the London. Standard.) The following appointments have been mentioned this evening, we believe upon good authority, though we cannot say the best; at all events, there is little doubt that however noblemen and gentlemen may determine, the offices named have been tendered as follows : Master General of the Ordnance—Sir George Murray, Lord Beresford having declined. Woods and Forests—Lord Granville Somerset. Essex is one of our primest wheat districts, and now, in reference to it, let the following extract suffice to show how excellent are the crops :—" An extensive farmer, who culti vates nearly 1,000 acres in that county, states that the wheat in sheaf is beyond his expectation, and has ripened with a fine yellow tint. Full half of it is secured iu fine order. The improved weather will certainly make the crop above an ave rage. Barley and oats are heavy crops : beaus and peas are great crops, and potatoes very abundant." The same re marks will hold good with Kent. We have ourselves, in succession, visited a considerable part of Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, and Hertfordshire. The weather, it is known, continued cold, sunless, and very wet until the 16th August, whence nearly a week of powerful, brilliant sunshine set every farmer to work. The operations were simultaneous, and most rapid, for the crops turned 'off at once, and strange as it may appear, though the cold had protracted the harvest till a period so comparatively late, no sooner did the rain abate than it became apparent that the reapers must be in the field. True it is some barleys remain stunted, and are over-topped by the clover and herbage that did not suffer from the unseasonable drought early in June, and some fields are laid ; but there appear neither sprouting nor discoloration. The following letter, written expressly by a bailiff over 1,200 acres, will exhibit a true picture of the condition north of Wycomb and in mid Bucks : " August 18. lam happy to say that the weather has taken a favourable turn, and that the sickle is in operation in every direction. The crops in general in this district are everything the farmer can desire ; and should the weather prove fine for two weeks, the greater part of the harvest will be over. Stock of all sorts is in a flourishing condition, and the after-crops of grass are abundant." But the tine weather gave way on the 22d, and the rain of three following nights certainly produced stagnation. The temperature, however, was fortunately low, and as soon as it began to rise to a degree which might have caused sprout ing, the sun broke forth again, a brisk air played among the sheaves, all hands were at work, to move, reverse, or expose them in one way or other (this we saw), and vast breldths were carrying on the 26th. Three perfect days have fol lowed, and thus advances have been made of every kind, and in all directions. One homely remark made to us personally by a neighbour, who had put up three great ricks, and whose sheaves, in one connected breadth, would suffice to make as many more, will show how he had changed his opinion : " I have," said he, " been threshing all day as well." But how does it turn out? "Oh good, very good indeed, quite dry ; comes out like a shot." He had, weeks before, said how "rough" the sample would be! We could cite other similar examples. From Scotland nothing direct has been communicated ; but we are informed by-a native, competent to give an opinion, that every thing in the north was in a prosperous state. Admiralty Chief Secretary—Sir George Clerk. Admiralty Lords—Sir George Cockburn (unless Sir Geo. prefer the command in the Mediterranean), and Lord In- gestrie. Treasury Secretary—Sir Thomas Freemantle. Governor of Canada—Sir Howard Douglas. PRIVY COUNCIL AT CLAREMONT TO-MORROW (From a Correspondent.) Shortly before threeo'clock the messenger dispatched this morning by Sir Robert Peel to her Majesty at Claremont returned to Whitehall Gardens with an answer to the right honourable baronet's communication. Immediately afterwards, by direction of Sir Robert Peel, summonses were issued from the Council Office, for holding a Privy Council at Claremont to-morrow, at one o'clock. The following noblemen and gentlemen were summoned to attend the Council : Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Welliegton, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Ripon, Lord Stanley, the Duke of Buckingham, Earl de Grey, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Lyndhurst, the Earl of Haddingtou, Lord WharnclifFe, Lord Ellenborough, Sir Henry lirdinge, Mr. Goulburn, and Sir James Graham. Lord Eliot and Mr. Wm. Gladstone also received sum monses to attend the council to-morrow, it being (we under stand) her ivlajesty's gracious'pleasure to confer the honour of a Privy Councillor on the noble lord and the honourable gentleman. Lord Granville Somerset had a long audience with Sir Robert Peel in Whitehall Gardens this afternoon. Previous to the Council to-morrow the members of the late Administration will have an audience of her Majesty, and resign the Seals of their respective offices, which her Majesty will afterwards give to their successors. We believe nearly all, if not all, the Household appoint ments have been made. MR. GREEN'S LAST AERIAL VOYAGE kttplk(pg inErtitgenre. TUESDAY, 31ST AUGUST.

During the past week, the weather, with the exception of Wed day, has been as favourable as possible in every respect for harvest, which has commenced very generally throughout this district; a good deal is in stooks, apparently abundant in quality, and reports are not unfavourable as to quality, but a considerable portion of the crops is still far from maturity, and so much depends on the weather for the next month, that it will be towards the end thereof before any decided opinion can be formed of the crops. In consequence of the fine weather, and the release of nearly 60,000 quarters of Wheat and 79,000 barrels of Canadian Flour, the millers and dealers have been very sparing buyers for imme diate wants, and sales of free Grain have been effected only to a more moderate extent, though a decline, which s can hardly be strictly stated, as been submitted to, of about tid to 9d per 701 b for Wheat ; Is to is 6d per barrel and per sack on Flour; 4d to 5d per 451bs on Oats; as to 45 per 2401 b on Oatmeal (owing to a large arrival of Irish Meal from the Clyde;) and is to 2s per quarter on every other kind of Grain; and although some quality of American Flour in bond has changed hands at a very small decline from last quota tions, Wheat in bond has been sold at a reduction of 6d per 701 b, though the prospect of IoW duties next month is not abated. The 'duties payable since Friday last on Wheat from Foreign ports is reduced (two steps) as per quarter, on Flour as eid per barrel, an on all other Grain is tid per quarter, and there appears no reaso to doubt a further decline in the duties, except on Oats,i next Frid y, which prevents any bonded Grain from being released it for present use. Dutch heavy brew Oats find a very trivial demand for export at about as 2d per 451 b. It rained heavily last night, and this morning the weather ap peared to be again becoming unsettled, but it has turned out very fine, and at this day's market sales were effected only to a very limited amount, although the decline above noted was fully sub mitted to, and the prices quoted below are almost nominal.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, Auousr 31 Owing to a continuance of.favourable weather, our market wears a very languid appearance. Some samples of new Wheat sold freely at our quotations. There was a full supply of Oats, which sold at Friday's rates. Oatmeal a dull sale, and in some instances a reduction of 6d. to Is. per cwt. Bakers' Flour continues to move off slowly, at a decline of 6d. to Is. per cwt., inferiors and thirds in good demand, at a reduction of Is. per cwt. on all descriptions. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AuG. 31 . _ Less demand and business to-day, caused -in some degree by the suspension of two extensive firms, which has had the effect of causing holders to take prices they refused yester day, and also to shew a little more anxiety to effect sales. The amount to-day estimated at 1500 to 2000 bales. COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 1 Our market is very dull and inanimate in tone and feeling, though the demand is far from being so bad as it was, for to-day 4,501) to 5,000 bales have been sold at somewhat easier prices than was paid early in the week. , 200 bales taken for export; remainder to the trade. The market closing heavily. COTTON MARKET, Sic.FTEmBER 2 A good attendance of buyers in the market to-day, but holders displaying more anxiety to sell, caused then► to be rather shy, con sequently less business was done than might have been expected, say to the extent of 3,500 to 4,000, at prices fully -id. lower than was obtained on Friday last. 200 bales have been taken for export again to-day. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SEPT. 2 The Butter market has become very steady, and prices are fully supported. Belfast and favourite south country brands being saleable at 935. to gas. per cwt. There appears to be a general dis position on the part of holders to look for higher rates. Heavy Beef is held for more money, as is also prime Pork ; other descrip tions being abandoned may be purchased on easy terms. Bacon is in brisk request, considerable quantities having changed hands upon speculation ; we quote the heaviest meat at 565. to 5Ss ; large quantities of this article have been bought up in Ireland for the mining districts in the west of England.
