Vortrp. THE SEA-SHELL'S MURMUR. BY R. SHELTON MACKENZIE, LL.D. " I have seen A curious child applying to his ear The convolutions of a smooth -lipped shell, To which, in silence hushed, his very soul Listened intensely, and his countenance soon Brightened with joy; for, murmuring from within, Were heard sonorous cadences! whereby, To his belief, the monitor expressed Mysterious union with its native sea." WORDSIVORTII A murmur low, A moan, as if of woe, In a mysterious whisper aye cloth swell, From thee, oh wreathed Shell — As if some spirit, struggling to be free, Gave a faint echo of the sounding sea. Lute of the ocean waves, Some exilp from the waves, In the deep winding of thy chamber dim, May breathe a mournful hymn-- Singing, to earthly years, the low, sad strain Which makes the restless music of the main. As if, within that cell, It pined for things that dwell Tn crystal palaces beneath the seas, For the red coral trees, Or for the gems which their rich brightness keep In the far abysm of the boundless deep. A melancholy moan, A music all thine own, Thou breathest ever in this upper sphere— As if a soul were there, Holding communion with that heaving main, In which its voice may never sound again. Could'st thou but tell, Oh ever-murmuring Shell, What thou hast witnessed in the depths below. Where stately vessels go— Where youth and age, the dastard and the brave, Have found quick burial 'neath the yawning wave! Yea, more than all— Like a funereal pall, How the dark waters sweep above the dead ! What sighs, like odours shed, The sea-nymphs breathe above the early lost, Decking their sleep with pearls of priceless cost ! Yet more—oh more! Upon that ocean-floor, Paved with the rarest gems that ever shone, How pale Death sets his throne, What time the waters by the storms are stirred, And when, in thunder, his deep voice is heard One ceaseless sound, Thrilling the air around, Breaks from the deep, is whispered by the waves — A wail from myriad graves, In which the brave and beautiful do rest, Like wearied children on the mother's breast. There have gone down The banner and the crown— There friend and foe have found one sudden tomb : Oh tell if, 'mid that gloom, The ocean-spirits do not sometimes weep, While o'er our dead a vigil long they keep ! Thou answerest not ! But, on this sunny spot, Where come the merry murmurs of the bees, And sweeter sounds than these— The music gush of rills—the songs that swell From childhood's heart—thou moanest, lonely Shell. The cheerful sounds of earth, Their music and their mirth, The light winds whispering with the forest leaves On lover-meeting eves, Are sweeter than that echo of the tone From the dark ocean thou dost make thine own ! Ever to thee That murmur of the sea liath a supreme and voice-coercing spell, Which haunts thee, hollow Shell, Even as, 'mid music's wonders, hearts will sigh For simpler song—some home-bred melody. There !—from the earth, Lone Shell, I cast thee forth ! Seek, once again, beneath the ocean foam, Thine unforgotten home— Drink in, for aye, the music which the surge Over the drowned doth make—a low, sad dirge! From the Forget-me-Not for 1842. EPIGRAMMATIC AND EPITHALAMIC LINES, ON THE INTERESTING UNION OF JOHN WOOLEY, ESQ, OF BRISTOL, AND MISS MARY ANN MORGAN. Thou simplest of the Wooley tribe ! Whom every maid admires ! To this thou'll feelingly subscribe— " Love's roses have their Bryers." Shame ! Wooley, shame upon thy folly, To bring our sex to such discredit ; Thy tale is truly melancholy, And would that 1 had never read it ! 0, naughty, unromantic knight! As in thy wooded* fortress lay The captive maid half dead with fright, From all her friends away— How could'st thou squeeze her snowy hand So tightly through the door, And render this the boasted land Of chivalry no more ? The Bristol men, I always knew, " Hogs" every wag doth call; But Bristol women are to you The greatest bores of all ! 'angst daughters thou wert fain to wed! With dowry half a plumb ! But, ah ! a beggar shares thy bed ! And thou look'st monstrous glum! Of base "inquisitiveness" Thou surely host the " organ , 1) . Well, if thou'st lost the 'bother Miss, Thou'st gained sweet N AN CY ,MORGAN I ! ! Danaghade&, October 4. A. H. * Mr. W. is a timber merchant. t Miss Louisa King was the lady personated by Miss Morgan at the hymeneal altar. LITERARY NOTICES. Fraser. Fraser comes out this month in full feather. " The Life of Sir Murray Maxwell," written expressly for the number, is well done, and justice is rendered to the gallant sailor. This memoir abounds with interesting naval anecdotes. In " Fitzboodle's Confessions," we have a full, true, and par ticular account of the flirtation with Minna Lowe. It is really very funny. Nimrod gives us a long rigmarole touch ing his literary and classical capabilities. Nimrod is an amusing, but awfully egotistical writer. In this portion of his " Life and Times," he admits this to be the case. Some very graceful composition appears in the " Pictures of Chris tian Life." We have, alas ! now come to the last of the " Homeric Ballads." Dr. Maginn dictated these to his friend the Templar the Sunday before be died. An affec tionate tribute is appended to the doctor's memory. A pro mise of an appearance of Maginn's works is here made. It ought to be effected with the least possible delay. A ra ther half-illnatured, half-clever article, or critique, appears respecting " Charles O'Malley and Jack Hinton." It at tempts to prove what nobody cares about—so satisfied are we of the " goods the gods do give us." An article on " The Fine and Froggy Art of Swimming" is surely out of place in Fraser ? We admit the treatise to be well written, and with much humour and point. " Affghanistan " occupies the last pages of the number. The following are specimens of poetry in this number : SONG. Come hither, love, the day is o'er ; Come hither, love, the sun bu d get ; The white waves dash along the sSore, The fisher, weary, leaves his net. Oh! wildly as yon billow white, My heart doth beat for thee; Come hither, love, and bless my sight,--- Come hither, love, to me. STANZAS. Bless'd time when mem'ry awakes The tho u ghts of happier years, When hope; like early morning, breaks From out a mist of tears ; When feelings that have slept too long chlee more are roused to life, 'Withi n the breast where grief and wrong Hav e waged a bitter strife. However lone the penitent, H owever slight may seem The gleam of right that Heaven bath sent, That lone one to redeem • A holy band t h e impulse moulds, And,'neath affliction's rod, 'Tis thus the rn way- wo spirit holds ' Communion with its God ! Handy Andy. If Handy Andy had been in thehands o f M essrs. C urry , a of Dublin, we h ave little doubt that where one copy of it is sold, dozens wou ld find customers. There appears to b h e . a s t r ange apathy on the part of the booksellers re P s ti inimitable production . Although its circulatio n is now fa:g increasing every month , a nd a strong demand .sing for the back numbers, still it is not pushed as it ought t o be. It is decidedly—and with some little knowledge of Irish character we pronounco it—the best told, most amusing, and wittiest story now before the public. There is more genuine fun, mirth, and poetry in one of its pages than in dozens of any other work we know. Jack Hinton is clever—we give it praise to its utmost extent ; but still it has not that racy originality that sparkles through Handy Andy. We gave an extract in our last touching theft/tapes of the Dowager O'Grady. How witty is the conversation between the boy and his " gran"' Look at Lover's patriotism. In this number there are abundant proofs, outbreaks and bursts, of the author's love of his father-land—" a rich quality in nian or woman, good my lord." In the present number we find the termination t o H an dy' s a d ven t ure w ith the potheen brewers, and hi s announcement o f hi s marr i age . Besides many other rich portions, this is not the least amusing. The illustrations are inimitable as usual. The Belle Assemblee, The Farmer, and The Sportsman. These three capital publications emanate from one office, and ably do they maintain their ground amongst their read ers. The Belle Assemblie is replete with charming stories, pretty poetry, epigrams, enigmas, and all sorts of light lite rature, pleasing to the ladies, and not uninstructive and unamusing to the sterner sex. A host of contributors, with the talented editress at the head, fill the pages ;with good things. A sweet engraving, and some charming words by T. K. llcrvey, are to be found enriching the number. The Sportsman continues its stories of huntings of lions and tigers, down to hares, and its shootings, fishings, and other field sports, giving us two capital engravings, one by Alkin, drawn in his best and most spirited style, and the other a portrait of a smart little wire-haired terrier. The contri butors are Touchstone, Leigh, Cliffe, Calder Campbell, &C. The Farmer has something about everything connected with agriculture: hints thrown out, advice given, maxims ad duced, and examples shown, render its pages extremely va luable. The farmer ought not to be without the Farmer's Magazine. MISCELLANEOUS. The Marquis Wellesley was interred privately on Thursday at Eton College. The 53d Regiment is to be made a Royal Regiment, having attended her ?Majesty in Scotland. The new and splendid docks at Newport, Monmouthshire, were opened on Monday. Ten men-of-war are ordered to be commissioned for ser vice in India. Sir James Graham has left town for his seat, Netherby ball, Cumberland. The Victoria Iron Works, the property of the Monmouth shire Iron and Coal Company, are again offered for sale. LORD GAINSBORMIGH.—We perceive that the Kentish estates of this nobleman are advertised for sale.—Essex Standard. Among the inventions of the day is one by Mr. Robinson, of Lisburn, for milking cows by steam ! Cider is plentiful and cheap in Somerset; at Yatton and Taunton a very good article can be purchased at five pence per gallon. THE YORK THEATRICAL CIRCUIT.—We understand that Mr. Pritchard is the new lessee for the Theatres Royal in York, Hull, and Leeds. Three high sheriffs of Irish counties have died within the last six weeks. Kilkenny and Cavan have been filled up ; but Leitrim is yet vacant. PRICE OF BREAD.—We arc happy to state that the fine quartern loaf is now sold in Dumfries at 7d., and the second at 6d. per 4 lbs.—Dumfries Courier. Miss Burdett Coutts has taken Cliefden-bouse, near Maidenhead, Berkshire, for a term. This mansion is the property of Sir George Warrender, Bart. Lord Morpeth, after visiting Canada, has returned to the United States, and was at Albany when the last months' accounts left. He is on the eve of returning home. We regret to learn that her Royal Highness the Duches of Kent has for some days been slightly indisposed at Frog more. It is reported that some of the Masters in Chancery, who are entitled to retire from length of service, will avail them-s selves of their privilege, and consequently we may look for new appointments in these desirable offices.—Legal Observer. On Thursday, the 6th instant, his Majesty, the King of the French entered upon his 70th year. He commeneed his public career at 17 years of age, and has consequently been occupied with public affairs for 53 years. THE EATON STUD.—The future care of this stud is given to Mr. Thomas Horsley, formerly training groom to the late John Mytton, Esq., and lately to the late Sir T. S. Massey Stanley, Bart. AMERICAN FLOUR.—A Liverpool correspondent informs us, that a contract has been entered into there, for the supply of 5,000 barrels of American flour, to be delivered in Novem ber, at 18s. per barrel of 196 lbs. This is little more than one penny per pound I—Dublin Evening Post. Amongst the novel imports under the new tariff an im portation of 137 live geese from Norway has been made at this port during the present week. They were in tolerably good condition, and were readily disposed of at 3s. 6d. each. —Newcastle Journal. CHESTER CHEESE FAIR.—On Saturday, the cheese fair was held at the Linen Hall, and about 200 tons were pitched of all sorts for sale, which, upon the average, reached 2s. per cwt. higher than the last fair. The highest price for prime cheese was 765. The Journal des Debats announces that the loan of 30,000,000 f. which the Belgian government was authorised to contract had been concluded with the Baron James de Roths child, who had paid into the treasury the first instalment of 5,000,000 f. The 4iforning Herald, in noticing the deficiency in the last quarter's revenue, compared with that of the corresponding quarter of last year, attributes it in part to the alteration of the timber and other duties which had not come into operation, and to the unsettled treaties with Portugal and France. TRAVELLING FROM LONDON TO PARIS.—it is expected, that, when the Paris and Rouen Railway is opened, the jour ney from London to Paris will be performed, by way of Brighton. in about 14 hours. It may now be performed in 22 hours, by crossing from Brighton to Dieppe, and at the charge of 24f.—a wonderful economy both of mcney and time. NEWLY DISCOVERED ISLAND.—The Journal du Havre has the following short notice of the discovery of an hitherto unknown island :—" The ship Pearl, just arrived at the Downs of Ohesia, reports, that on her way from Sidney to Manilla, on the 25th of September last, she descried an island which is not laid down in any map or chart. It is situated in 21 59 latitude; and, by the last chronometers, 168 36 east longitude. It bears a rich appearance, being clothed with wood, and near the shore are abundance of cocoanut trees. The captain christened it Burrow's Island." PRICES TWENTY YEARS SlNCE.—Notwithstanding the fall in the prices of sheep and cattle (about 20 per cent. on all but very fine fat oxen,) the markets are much higher than they were some years since. An extensive sheep farmer said to us the other day—" I went to Edinburgh, in 1822, to see George IV., and sell my Cheviot wethers ; the price I got was 15s. 10d, each. I went again this month, to see Queen Victoria, and to sell my wethers—exactly the same sort as before—and my price was 245. 6d."—lnverness Courier. THE NEW TARIFF—IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN PRO VISIONS.—A small quantity of foreign pickled beef and pork has this week been received here (Berwick) by Mr. James Sanderson, for the purpose of ascertaining its quality, and the probability of its commanding a sale in this town, whose district is so justly celebrated for producing the excellent of both. The sample has been highly approved of, the pork in particular being of superior quality. The beef is from Holstein, in Denmark, and the pork from America. A supply has been ordered, which will probably be remitted here by the return of the steam-packet, Manchester, from London. The sample has been sold at—beef, 4.Ad. per lb. ; pork, 4d.—Berwick Paper. The Paris papers during the week have been chiefly occupied with comments upon the recent news from Algeria with re ference to General Changarnier's affair with the Arabs near Miliana. The official despatches show that the losses of the French on the occasion have been by no means exaggerated, although the rumours of a surprise and defeat were unfounded. General Ghangarnier admits that he had 22 killed, and 100 wounded, and adds, in a postscript, that " General Lamoriciere was believed to have carried by a coup de main the house and household of Abdel Kader and Sidi Embarek, and taken the families of those chiefs prisoners. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford, after a resi dence of a fortnight at Ford Castle, Northumberland, have taken their departure from that ancient baronial mansion. The noble marquis and marchioness were escorted to the ex tremity of their estate by the stout yeomanry on his lord ship's demesne on horseback ; and, indeed, their leave was only equalled by the enthusiastic display which greeted their arrival at the castle from Ireland. Many of the poor cotta gers have beeir visited by the amiable marchioness, accom panied by the marquis ; and we are happy to thear that by their considerate benevolence the hearth of many an humble cottage has been gladdened. The will and six codicils of the late Right Hon. Edward Boscawen, Earl of Falmouth, Viscount Falmouth, and Baron Ross Boscawen, has just been proved in the Preroga tive Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, by Charles Lord Bayning, Vice-Admiral Nicholls, and George Bankes, Esq., the executors. Amongst the several legacies, he gives his wife Frances £-1000, to purchase a house ; to Vice- Admiral Henry Nicholls, £5OO, " as a token of esteem for valuable and impartial advice and assistance ;" to his son, George Henry Boscawen, all his estates in the county of Cornwall. The will is dated 15th July, 1819, and the pro perty sworn under the value of £60,000. CHURCH EXTENSION. — During the last week one church in Manchester (St. George's) has been re-opened for divine worship, after undergoing considerable repairs, cleaning, painting, &c.—and three new churches have been consecrated by the Bishop of Chester, all in the immediate neighbour hood of that town. The first was the new church, named St. Silas's, near Pin Mill Brow, Ancoats, one of the churches erected by the Ten Churches Association." The second church, consecrated in the afternoon of the same day (Mon day) was the new church at Stretford. The usual ceremonial was performed, and the services of the day. A sermon was preached by the bishop of the diocese, after which a col lection was made " to assist in defraying the many heavy ex penses yet to he met." The third church consecrated was that of St. John's, Pendlebury. OPERATION OF THE TARIFF AND THE CORN-LAWS. — The contracts which have been recently taken for the supply of meat, flour, and other provisions, to the various parishes and unions of the metropolis, for the ensuing six months, have been considerably lower in price than has been given for soms years past. In the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, the contract for the supply of meat was sd. the stone of eight pounds under that of the former period, and the price for the sack of flour was ss. less per sack. The contract was for the supply of 260 stone per week for the in-door and out-door poor. , and for 30 sacks of flour a week. The effect will make a difference of about £l4O in the meat, and about £195 in the flour : and, taking into consideration other provisions, the saving will be about £4OO for the six months to the parish. CHEAP SHOOTING.—A gentleman on a visit at Brighton, being desirous of enjoying some pheasont shooting on the Ist of October, applied to a friend to obtain permission to sport over a farm. His friend apprised him of the danger he would run if be went out without a license, and he forthwith armed himself with a license, for which he paid £4 Os. 10d., and he sallied out to Cowfold, where a day's sport was guaranteed to him by the farmer for a consideration, namely, the pay ment of 30s. After trudging about the farm for several hours without finding a pheasant, he let fly with both barrels at a bird, which turned out to be a fowl from the farm-yard, strayed some distance from his proper home. The bird, with which the cockney returned to the farm-house in high glee, turned out to be a cock of a rare breed, which the farmer had purchased for 305., for the purpose of improving his breed of fowls. The farmer was, of course, remunerated for the loss of his bird, and the cockney returned to Brighton, without a head of game, his day's sport having cost him £7 Os. 10d. ' WEST INDIAN INTERESTS. — A corr es p ondent of the Morning Herald, in a letter to that j ournal, makes the fol lowing very just observations :—I am rather amused with ev erybody finding fault with the income tax — deducting 7d. in the Pound from their incomes—when we poor unfort unate west ln di e a ff p l anters, whose grea t e r misfortunes, I suppose, now h have the reduc t ti e on eas of e eFOins of. making us 6lent, do not compl ain at the o i o n ne th el e o p en o e u e nd of frtoheroseoaurreiitnycoomoeds, high wh priceichis of labour, and the whole duty of 255. out of 60s. swamping urupmth.the 11 b su e g en arand b e of the proceeds from our sales of accustomed to adversity that it has become second na ture to us, and, like the fac t. e o i s o ' p troops at e h C a ab e o o n l o , w looking so in a upon y ears case as hopeless, re have the attempt at relief, in succession e paralysed, and are, without ss m io i n u sacrificed to the shrine of ignorant legislation.

Still no sympathy at home for the perilous situation of the planter; and up to last session of parliament duties are reduced on all else excepting British sugar and rum." NEW BANKRUPT COMMISSIONERS..—The bankrupt com missioners, including the several new appointments which, it is understood, have been made, will assemble in a few days to agree to certain rules for carrying the provisions of the new act into effect. The act comes into operation on the 11th of November next. It is stated that only 10 new ap pointments will be made, and not 12. which are sanctioned by the 59th section, and that the new commissioners will have jurisdiction in country districts. The names of the new commissioners mentioned in legal circles are, Mr. Serjeant Stevens, Mr. Kenyon Parker, Mr. Wray. Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Charles Phillips. Other names have been men tioned to complete the number, among them H. R. Reynolds, Esq., of the Chancery bar. By the 70th section the com missioners are authorised to make rules, and by the 76th clause the amount of salary is fixed. The present judge of the Court of Review (Sir John Cross), £2,500 a year; the London commissioners, £2,000; and the country commis sioners, £l,BOO a year each.—Standard (of Tuesday). ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.—The Ecclesiastical Com missioners have recommended that the following benefices in this county should be raised to £l5O a-year, and, in conse quence of that recommendation, an order in council has been issued authorising such augmentation : Adlington, in Standish, Perpetual Curacy, £7l. St. Saviour's, Bamber-bridge, Di s t r i c t Church, £75. St. John's, Blackburd, Perpetual Curacy, £35. St. Paul's, Blackburn, Perpetual Curacy, £76. Blackley, in Manchester, Perpetual Curacy, £27. St. James, Lower Darwen, Perpetual Curacy, £92. Trinity Church, Over Darwen, Perpetual Curacy, £2B. Immanuel Church, Feniscowles, Perpetual Curacy, £7O.

St. Mary's, Mellor, Perpetual Curacy, £74. Tonge-cum-Alkrington, in Prestwich, District Church, £137 POPULATION OF MALTA.—The Governor-General of Malta having issued an Order in Council for a census to be I taken of the inhabitants of Malta, the following has been given as the result :—The population amounts to 111,498 ; but, as the garrison and the crews of the ships of war on the station are not included, the number may be considered to be not less than 120,000. It has been ascertained that of the 114,499 persons there are not less than 44,192 individuals of the lower classes of society without any ostensible means of subsistence, whilst there are 566 professional beggars, mak ing about one-third of the whole population dependent on the other two-thirds for maintenance. The clergy amount to 1,280, including nuns ; the nobility and gentry, holders of land, to 813; persons acting as brokers, 172; police, 208. Notwithstanding the immense number of persons in the lower classes without employment, the criminals during the year amounted only to 437 males and 37 females, 153 of whom were liberated, not being convicted on their trials. In the total number of criminals are included 85 English, and four foreigners. The population of 114,499 consists of Maltese—males, 54,156; females, 58,344. English—males, 530 ; females, 630. Foreigners—males, 481 ; females, 357. The number of English is of course much greater, the gar rison and crews of vessels being, as before stated, to be added. THE CHARTER ARMORIAL BEARINGS.—Amongst the discoveries made by the policemen who apprehended the Chartist leaders at Manchester, were a number of emblazoned cards, such as were distributed to the members of the Chartist Association. They were found at the house of a person named Leach, the President of the Chartist Association. The device upon them was in the form of a coat of arms, with supporters, crest, motto, &e., as in heraldric bearings. In what would be called the field is a representation, it is sup posed, of the British lion having broken his chain, trampling on cannon, pistols, and a broken sword. A garter surrounds the field ; its legend, " This is our Charter." The dexter supporter is a gentleman in a "broad cloth" dress suit, with a spade in his right hand ; and over his head, as a crest, a beehive, on a fillet. The sinister supporter is a rustic nymph, with a rake in her left hand ; and over her head is a wheat sheaf, as a rest. The shield is surmounted by a globe, the cap of liberty, and the tricolour ; over these, what is meant to represent the eye of Providence, placed in a star ; and over the whole, a scroll, inscribed, " The National Charter Asso ciation of Great Britain." The motto is, " God is our guide." Beneath is the business part of the ticket, thus arranged : " No. , Residence , James Leach, President ; John Campbell, Secretary." THE BANK OF MANCHESTER.—We are exceedingly glad to learn that, owing to the considerate forbearance 4 - the London agents of this bank, and an exceedingly liberal ad vance from the Liverpool and Manchester District Bank, the directors have been enabled to effect an arrangement for promptly meeting all the demands that can be made upon the bank in the ordinary course of business; and that the cala mities arising from its present situation are not likely to be increased by any failure in the repayment of deposits, or in providing for current bills. Under this arrangement, the depositors receive their money whenever they apply for it. The District Bank, we hear, has also adopted most of the current accounts of the Bank of Manchester, so that it is understood no interruption will take place in the transactions of business, and the customers of the latter bank will receive their usual accommodation. An absurd report has been cur rent for a day or two, that Mr. Burdekin, the late manager, is absent with the connivance of the directors ; that he is still in England ; and that his place of concealment is known. We are informed, on the best authority, that Mr. Burdekin sailed in the Britannia, on Tuesday, the 4th instant, a friend of ours having seen him, and spoken to him, on board the Redwing tender, which conveyed the letter bags and passen gers from the pier. With regard to the call of £2 per share, however unpleasant and inconvenient it may be, it is obvious that the shareholders must comply with it; and, highly as we blame the directors for having suffered the bank to get into its present deplorable state, we must say, that by the course they have now taken, they will prevent the most dis astrous consequences to individual shareholders. They will also have an opportunity of realising the assets of the bank, of whatever kind, in more favourable times; thus affording a reasonable expectation of repaying to the shareholders, not only the amount of this call, but also, should an improve ment in trade take place, a further sum, which, it is hoped, may arise from the increased value of their property. RIOT AT COATBILIDGE.—On Saturday night, a great num ber of drunken and infuriate colliers and miners assembled at the bridge, and having quarrelled amongst themselves, and split into two factions, distinguished as Scottish and Irish, they first fought with each other for possession of the bridge, and, in the general confusion which ensued, assaulted every respectable-looking person who came in their way. Th e riot continued for several hours, during which the town was completely in the hands of the mob. The shop-keepers closed their places of business, and neither they nor the in habitants generally durst venture 'out of doors, without in curring the utmost danger, as showers of stones were dying in all directions, and the rioters made a rush at every per son they saw abroad. Our informant, who was visiting a friend, and was present during the affray, describes it as mtwri being aieoabarn t house, teairani eanngane le ht i dcdoeead:l mo wel bwiaanysi inoffensiveotht alarming s cg ohnotelcmt tiomsbheoeleabdl tpeade Mr. kwtdrissohtrooooi.rnlnremt: ea,hhkla popular eitaec.to t dotwrl ueaba i tw distance refuge u l t n h a e s e fromoe p rwitnessed.where fr e n dh,he et,eona merelys h kl o an u toe r cri s li le a rd n r i d dd il io a y e w a r enrcisrnpoagesne s sd a ing the street, our informant sallied forth to his assistance and found him lying in the gutter, wounded, helpless, and covered with blood. He was immediately conveyed into a , place of safety, and two surgeons were called, who found that his eye was severely injured, part of the bone being sup posed to be fractured, and the back part of his head was also cut extensively. On proceeding afterwards down the street, at the time that it was scoured by a detachment of the mob, our informant observed them treading upon an object which appeared to creak under their feet, and on going towards it found that it was a man who bad been knocked down, and was lying in an insensible state. A respectable shop-keeper, whose name has been mentioned to us, happening to be in the neighbourhood of the bridge, found that his only chance of safety was in betaking himself to a boat in the canal, and from which he found it impossible, with any degree of pru dence, to retreat till the morning was far advanced, and the rioters had disappeared. During the whole riot, the village had all the appearance of a place besieged.—Glasgow Guar than. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning last Sir W. Geary, Bart., of Oxenheath, on entering his dressing-room, fell over a glass screen, which was broken to pieces, and a large fragment, presenting a very sharp tapering point, in flicted a frightful wound on the right side of Sir William's neck, behind the lower jaw, within the smallest possible dis tance of the carotid artery, and dividing one of its principal branches. Lady Geary, who was in the next room, instantly ran to Sir William's assistance, with her maid. Sir William was stretched on the floor, his life's blood gushing out with fearful violence. In this dreadful extremity the presence of mind and fortitude both of Lady Geary and her attendant, were the means of preventing the. unfortunate gentleman's instant dissolution. At her ladyship's suggestion, her maid (a swiss) courageously seized the wound, and tightly com pressing it with her hands, stayed the frightful effusion of blood. In the meantime messengers had been despatched for Messrs. Starling and Vine, of Hadlow, and Dr. Taylor, of Maidstone. On their arrival it was found that the only chance of saving the patient was by performing the important and difficult operation of tying the carotid artery, in order to prevent hemorrhage—the least renewal of which must have been fatal. The operation was most skilfully performed by Mr. Starling, assisted by his partner, Mr. Vine and Dr. Taylor. It was unattended by the slightest additional bleed ing, a point of the highest importance in this extreme case, and was borne with extreme fortitude by the previously well nigh exhausted sufferer. Unhappily, the previous extensive loss of blood which Sir William had sustained, produced such an entire inanition, that an attack of paralysis was su perinduced, which threatened to baffle the skill and anxious attention of his medical attendants, who have never left their respected patient day or night. On Sunday evening Sir William appeared to he as low as it was possible to be and alive ; but rallied a little during the night. The report last evening was, that lie had not gone back during the pre ceding twelve hours.—/liaidstone Journal, of Tuesday. AWFUL MURDER AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—On Monday morning, at an early hour, the inhabitants of Goulston's-buildi,,gs, adjacent to the Grange-walk, Ber mondsey, London, were alarmed by the cries of " murder" proceeding from a house occupied by a man named Jessop, late in the employ of Messrs. Margetson and Co., the tan ners, of Long-lane, Bermondsey. A boy about fourteen years of age, the 'son of Jessop, was observed in the act of running out of the house, at six o'clock that morning, ex claiming -that his father was murdering his mother, and policeman Ward, 220 M, passing at the time, immediately went into the house. On e n t er i ng th e b ac k p ar l o ur h e sa w a female, the wife of Jessop, lying on the floor, with her head nearly severed from her body, and the boards under neath her body deluged in her blood. At a short distance from the body of the female lay her husband, who had a deep gash in his throat, from whi c h th e bl oo d was i ssu i ng . H e appeared to be alive, and a razor co vere d w ith bl o od was near his side. The policeman sent for Dr. Storey, of the Grange-road, who pronounced the woman qu i te d ea d , b ut on examination of the man, discovered s t p h p a e t d no ti n ie e h o e f m th o e rr l h a a r g g e e vessels were injured, and haying stopped he had him immediately conveyed to Guy's Hospital. From inquiries made as to the probable cause of the perpetration of such a dreadful murder, it appears th a t J essop, who was a sober, industrious man, lived in the utmost harmony with his wife (the deceased) and a family of five children. On Friday last he was discharged from .his situatio n , an d thi s seemed to prey very much upon his mind, and he was heard to remark, that he was fearful his wife and family would b e driven to great distress, owing to his being out o f work. On Monday morning his wife rose at about a q uar t er b efore . six o'clock, leaving her husband in bed, and went down stairs into the back parlour, where the family breakfasted, and commenced lighting the fire. While she was engaged at work her son, the boy already alluded to, got up and joined his mother in the room below, where they had not been r aried histh e hand,r o room where long before they heard Jessop pacing up and do w n the apart ment overhead. In a short time afterwards his foot was childarid na were, with a z moment i t heard his the cr.fe stairs, and . towards his wife, who at the tim e wa s kneelin g at the g rat e , in which he was brandishing about. He immediately rushed the act of kindling a fire, and seizing her round the neck, exclaimed, " I have been walking about our room up sairs. c Some one has ordered me to cut you r throat, and I ha ve to do it." He then forced the unfortunate woman 's head between his legs, and nearly cut her head off with the razor. The boy called out murder," and ran into the street, to give the alarm ; but before he returned policeman, his father had inflicted a woundin his throat, and with the the deceased and he were found lying on the floor as already described. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of Mrs. Jessop on Tuesday, and a verdict returned of " Wilful Murder" ag a i ns t her husband, who died on Wednesday from the wounds, IMPORTATION OF STOCK FROM ABROAD. (From the Globe.) As the importation of stock from abroad, admitted for home consumption under the new tariff, cannot fail to be of great moment and interest to our readers, we herewith pre sent them with the following table of arrivals at London and the various outports since its passing, up td Saturday last, the Bth instant : London Hull Margate Ramsgate FROM GERMANY. Beasts. Cows. Sheep. Pigs. . 200 .. 80 .. 80 13 . 300 .. 100 .. 40 .. Total 535 .. 185 .. 120 13 Fll.Oll HOLLAND. London Hull . Total 3lO .. 103 .. 515 FROM SPAIN. London Southampton 6B . • 15 ... 40 .. T0ta1.... 162 120 . It must be observed that some portions of the stock re ported above as sent to Hull have found their way to the metropolitan market, either alive or in a slaughtered state ; and that, as a matter of course, those brought to London from Spain were landed at Southampton, and sent hither per railway, being the quickest and most economical mode of conveyance : still the number we have returned at South ampton has, we find, been retained by the importers for the local markets. At Devonport, also, about 200 Spanish oxen and cows have been imported and sold in that neighbour hood. From the above it will be perceived that the receipts have already formed a grand total of no less than 2,278 bead, a by far greater supply than many parties have been looking forward to. But there is one feature connected with this subject which requires particular observation —viz., nearly the whole of the beasts, cows, sheep, and pigs, but more es pecially the former, ninny of which have been killed, owing to their bad state, have suffered far more severely than the English stock from the prevailing epidemy. There was landed from a sailing packet to-day the first importation of stock from France. The number comprised 20 oxen, the quality of which was the best we have hitherto seen, and they were in consequence held at high prices. From Hamburgh we had also 20 oxen, and cows in calf; and from Rotterdam, 15 beasts and 40 pigs in very middling con dition ; but no sheep came to hand from any quarter, on ac count of the previous arrivals, which only produced 18s. per head, having been disposed of at a great loss. The arrivals of stock from our own districts at Smithfield yesterday were very large, even the time of year considered, but they were of an unusually bad quality. From Lincoln shire only 100 short-horns were received • but from Leices tershire and Northamptonshire the supply embraced quite 2330 short-horns and rants. From other quarters the re ceipts were as follows—viz., 160 Scots, home-breds, and runts, from Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; 600 Herefords, Devons, Irish beasts, and runts, from our western and midland counties ; 400 from other parts of Eng land; and 20, by sea, from Scotland ; the remainder being driven from the stall-feeders, cattle-lodgers, marshmen, &c., near to and within a few miles of London. As might be ' anticipated, the extent of the bullock supply had a very de pressing influence upon the beef trade ; in fact, notwith standing the attendance of buyers was rather numerous, it was not without the greatest difficulty that sales could be effected by the salesmen on any terms. Thus circumstanced, they were compelled to give way in their demands, and we have to report the quotations of beef quite 2d. per 81b. be neath those noted on this day se'nnight, the very highest figure for the best Scots being 4s. 2d. per 81b., and this, too, was obtained in very few instances, while a large number of the inferior breeds was turned out unsold. Although the number of sheep was not large, the mutton trade was very dull, and the prices declined fully 2d. per 81b., a clearance not being effected ; nothing was doing in lambs. The supply of calves was good, and the sale for them slow, at drooping currencies. In pigs no variation occurred, with a fair supply on offer. The general quotations are now from 4d. to 6d. per 81b. lower than at the corresponding market-day last year. Obtppfng Intelligrnre. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11.—Wind N.W.

The number of gallons of proof spirits distilled in the United Kingdom, in the year ending January 5, 1842, wa— in England, 5,Q19,207 ; in Scotland, 8,504,333 ' • in Ireland, 6,359,124 ; total, 20,782,664. The number of gallons of proof spirits on which duty was paid for consumption, during the same period, was—in England, 8,166,985; in Scotland, 5,989,905 ; in Ireland, 6,485,44 p ; total, 20,642,333. The amount of duty paid upon this quantity of spirits, was £5,161.610. 15s. 6d. The difference between the number of gallons distilled and the number on which duty was paid for consumption in England, gives up the quantity of whisky consumed in this country, namely 2,247,778 gallons. The lovers of this spirit, who, relying on the professions of dealers, flatter themselves with the notion that they are supplied with " pure malt whisky," will be a little surprised to learn that the whole quantity of whisky made from malt consumed in England amounts to only 520,942 gallons. From Scotland we get 1,894,657 gal lons of whisky, but the " canny" Scot takes care to send us only 519,009 gallons of the malt; the rest consists of a "mixture of malt with unmalted grain," which doubtless is considered good enough for the stomachs of English " loons;" and so it is as long as they put up with it. From Ireland we obtain 1,933 gallons made from malt. Turning to Scotland, we find that of the 5,989,905 gallons consumed in that country 5,375,162 were made from malt, and only 614,745 from a mixture of malt with unmalted grain. In Ireland the case is reversed; of the 6,485,443 gallons consumed, only 527,196 were made from malt, and 5,958,247 from a mixture of malt with unmalted grain. The number of gallons of proof rum, brandy, geneva, and other foreign and colonial spirits, consumed in England between the sth of January, 1841, and the sth of January, 1842, was 3,344,922 ; in Scotland it was 88,814 ; in Ireland 30,338. The total amount of duty paid on this quantity of spirit was £2,417,166. It is curious to contrast the consumption of spirits of all kinds with the population thus : _ Population. Consumption of Spirits. England and Wa1e5........ 15,911,725.... 11,511,907 Scotland. . Ireland . 8,205,382.... 6,515,781 . Without troubling the reader with minute fractions, the above figures give 2 quarts and 1 gill as the quantity of spirits consumed per head (that is including every man, woman, and child in England); 2 gallons 1 quart and 1 gill per head for Scotland ; and 3 quarts and 1 quartern in Ireland. This ac count will probably excite some little surprise. If the ques tion were mooted in any English or Scotch company, in which part of the United Kingdom the largest quantity of spirits was consumed, the reply would immediately be " Ire land." The quantity consumed in Ireland certainly is large; yet it is comparatively insignificant when contrasted with the quantity consumed in Scotland, which allows no less than two gallons, one quart, and half a pint for every man, wo man, and child ! We are accustomed to hear the use of ar dent spirits spoken of as being the fruitful source of crime in England and Ireland ; but what is the case as regards Scot land ? The people of Scotland are, undoubtedly, the most virtuous and orderly portion of the population of the United Kingdom, and yet they drink more spirits than any other. Persons who are in the habit of drawing hasty conclusions, might say, that in Scotland virtue and order resulted from the drinking of spirits. We do not say so, for it is not our purpose to draw conclusions, but merely to furnish the ma terials for speculation to others. Assuming, however, that the use of,spirits tends to produce crime, there must be a strong counteracting influence in Scotland. Are we to look for it in the religious habits of the people of that country The number of gallons of foreign wine on which duty was paid for home consumption in the United Kingdom in the year ended the sth of January, 1842, was 6,184,960 ; of which Portuguese 2,387,017, Spanish 2,412,821, French 353,740, Cape 441,238, Madeira 107,701, Sicilian and othe sorts 401,429, Ithemish 55,242, Fayal 137. IMPROMPTU ON A RECENT EXTRAORDINARY OCCASION. The tale, dear sirs, this useful hint inspires, That naught that's Woolley should contend with Briers. QUIZZING A QUAKER AND CATCHING A TARTAR. — Friend Aminabab was in from the country, and called at a book store where he wished to make some purchases. He had on a suit of home-made drab, an d th e id ent i ca l broad brim that had sheltered his head and shoulders from sun and storm for the last five years. He could not exactly find the book he wanted, and was perhaps a little troublesome. So at least thought the salesman—a pert youngster in starch and buckram. " You are from the country, are you not sir? asked he a little impudently. " Yes." " Well, here's an essay on the rearing of calves." " That," says Aminadab, as he turned . to leave the store, "thee had better present to thy mother." TAXES UPON TRAVELLERS.—There is one branch of trade that seems to baffle the rules of political economy, as it does the ruins of every other kind of economy—the trade of inn keeping. There is abundance of capital in this country to stock inns withal—abundance, redundancy of labour; com petition is open : competition begets good quality and cheap ness ; yet our inns remain dear, and in many instances bad. The case of a correspondent, who invites us to publish a narrative of his wrongs, is neither singular nor caricatured. Yet the breach of the laws of commerce is, after all, more apparent than real ; and we have, as usual, more to blame ourselves than the peccant hosts. Until very recently, travellers belonged, exclusively to two classes. One class was the wealthy, who are not only accustomed to luxury, but accustomed to pay for luxury. The other consisted of com mercial men. For the accommodation of those two classes, the customs of inns have been framed ; each has had its distinct class of apartments, distinct style of enter tainment and of service, distinct scale of prices. Tra vellers of the middle class were compelled to conform. to the usage instituted in behalf of one class or other—they must either frequent the " commercial room " and the soci ety of " bas-men," or they must assume the more dignified liabilities of aristocracy," and pay posting prices though they posted not. If women• were of the party, there was little choice; for the " commercial room" is not the sphere for the gentle sex. But haste and wholesale dealings have often been the excuse for indifferent quality and frequent imperfection ; and the decaying state of the inn keeping trade has helped further to deteriorate the quality of inns and inn-wares, though the prices still keep up. Nor are board and lodging the only things demanded at inns, or the only ingredients in price. Two other things are in request in this country—despatch and servility. A shilling or two may be reasonably added to the bill for dinner, when it is served as fast as a waiter can say, " Yes, sir !" and five seconds too much devoted to frying or dishing-up would make the dinner lose everything punctual —appointment , stage, train, or steam-boat—order, commission, or fare. It is ti per centage as a guarantee for punctuality, the breach of which is costly ; it is a real charge for service done. But servility is the peculiar and most precious ware in this country. With all our " political and social eq ual ity , our convivial bragging that the " rank is but the guinea stamp", anti. our electioneering saturnalia, we eagerly covet servility in others and readily pay it ourselves. In none of the highly civilized countries of Europe is there so wide a distance between the several " ranks" or " orders" of so ciety. The wealthy class, who have imparted the tone to inn-manners, greedily exact the homage of servility : the waiters and even the landlord are paid for being servile; bows are in the bill ; the waiter speculates in them, and re alizes his profit in the fee. There is no doubt, however, that dearness now helps railways to injure the fortunes of the lords of the high-roads, whose banners are signs. The mid dle class, with the vast increase in the means of transit, have become a travelling class; even the working-people travel, as delegates or lecturers, but inns are evaded. Those who have sufficient strength of mind are content with decent public-houses; more timid folks avoid the inns by rushing on, often uncertain whether the indefinite exactions of the inn officials may not exhaust the scanty purse before the journey's end. A sense of the growing want of respectable resting-places, where the charges should be moderate, fi xe d , and distinctly stated, has, we believe , le d to the establish ment, in London, of hotels where such usages obtain ; and other old inn s h ave foll ow ed the example. It is a question worth mooting, whether the same plan might not be ca rr i e d out even further, in our chief towns and travellin g stat ions. It would conduce to the knowledge - and use of such inns if they adopted some distinct designation, more precise than that of commercial hotel or inn, which generally professes moderate charges. A class of inns having the same designa tion throughout the country, approaching to something like a uniform tariff of charges, and securi n g to the traveller substantial comforts, and aid to speed his journey without needless parade, would be tolerably certain of constant occu. pation.—Spectator.

Wheat, qrs. 222 Barley, ,„ 23 Oats, „ 72 BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, OCTOBER 12. During the present week we have few transactions reported in Wheat, but last week's prices are nominally maintained. Malting Barley in better supply, and a dull sale. Grinding qualities rather lower. Oats have been disposed of at a decline of is per quarter. In Beans and Peas no alteration. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 11. Barely sufficient demand to-day to constitute a mulct, the sales will not reach 1000 bales of all descriptions. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. OCT. 10. Throughout the whole of the last week the supplies of Grain, both English and Foreign, were extremely small, still, however, quite equal to the demand, and from the general depression per vading the market no advance took place. This morning we are again but moderately supplied with Wheats and other Grain from the home counties, and the trade is by no means brisk at last Mon. day's prices, and Barley meets a languid sale at is per quarter under last week's prices. Oats are without alteration, good qualities being in demand for immediate wants. Beans also meet a dull sale. White Boiling Peas realize fully the rates of last week. Hog Peas remain perfectly unaltered. Flour and Seed without material variation, with the exception of Canary Seed, which is rather cheaper. WEDNESDAY, October 12 There is scarcely any business this morning. excepting for the retail trade. The supplies are good of all descriptions of grain, but there is no appearance of speculative movement, and all the prices are nominally the same as on the last market day. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 10. The supply of home-bred Beasts at market was large, and similar in number to those returned on last Monday ; they comprised the Northampton, Leicester. and Lincoln breeds, with a few fattened in certain districts round London. There were a few Polled Scots, but the exact number from each county or from Scotland it is at all times impossible to give exactly. This will be the more evident when it is remembered that the number returned by the several drovers have no referenee to the breeds or the county from whence they come. The Beef trade was naturally very dull, which the large arrival tended to increase. The butchers were very backward in purchasing, even at reduced rates, and the prices. on an average. may be quoted fully 4d per stone lower. The primest quality did not fetch more than as per stone, and middling kinds 3s Bd. In ferior coarse sorts we may give at 3s. The supply of Sheep was not so large as on Monday last by about 1,500 head, yet con siderably more than required to meet the demand, which was limited. The rates realised for Mutton may also be quoted 4d per stone lower for the better sorts, and about 2d for the coarser quality. Veal and Pork were not so readily purchased as on this day week, and in this description of Meat we must notice a decline of 2d the stone. The number of Cattle turned out unsold was large. We cannot expect an improvement in trade until next Monday, when the butchers will be deficient in Stock, and the pro bably better quality of Meat will attract more attention. LIVERPOOL HAY AND. POTATOE MARKET, OCTOBER 13, 1842. The arrivals from either the Isle of Man or Scotland since the 10th instant is unimportant, and the stock now in dock commands ready sale at Is 3d to Is 4d le• Bulb. Our local markets are well supplied with all descriptions of agricultural produce, for which farmers find quick vend, at fully id to 2d Unshel advance over our last quotations for the article of Potatoes.

Upon a partial change of wind we have to note an in creased supply of Wheat and Flour, with a more liberal influx of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland than for some time past; but, except a limited quantity of Wheat and Malt, the arrivals coastwise since this day se'nnight are still quite insignificant ; and although during the past week we had little to notice from abroad, a few Grain vessels thence are at hand, but not yet reported. Having no extensive buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day, and holders of Wheat being generally more disposed to effect sales than last week, all descriptions of English and foreign declined in value 2d., and Irish, 'being further depreciated this morning, Must be noted 3d. to 4d. per 70 lbs. cheaper than on Tuesday last. States and Canadian Flour, upon a very moderate demand, reverted to our quotations of this day se'nnight, and both English and Irish were taken off less freely at the decline of Friday. A few small parcels of fine English new Malting Barley appeared to-day, for which 355. per quarter was required, but no actual sales transpired ; and grinding samples being in very slow request, receded 2d. to 3d. per 601bs. Beans hardly maintained the reduced rates above mentioned. Pease, recovering-a little from the late depression, rated nearly equal to this day week. PRICES OF TIMBER AT LIVERPOOL.
