Taken altogether, this month's number is particularly worth attention. Luther, a Poem. By Robert Montgomery, M.A., Author of the " Omnipresence of the Deity," &c. London : Francis Baisler, 124, Oxford-street. The name and fame of the reverend author of " Luther" are too well known to the world to require that we should enter here into any examination, or express any opinion, of his peculiar genius. That Mr. Montgomery is a poet, and a gifted one, the reading public has long ago been constrained to acknowledge. The popularity which his past productions have enjoyed—notwithstanding the circumstance that the peculiar and lofty ground which his genius has chosen to tread is not one which the searcher after the empty breath of fame, merely. would have sought--is a sufficient voucher that his mind and his imagination are of a sterling order, and that be possesses in no ordinary degree " the vision and the fa culty divine." And yet we are compelled to express our conviction that the lover of poetry—the reader who has flown to the perusal of " Luther" as to that of a finished poem — will lay it down with feelings something akin to disappoint ment. The impression formed upon the mind of such a one, however much he may admire the beauties which are scat tered through it, will be, that it is not such an effort as is calculated of itself to stamp its author as a poet—a mas ter of his ennobled and ennobling art. " Luther" is not, in fact, a porn—a whole. Though filled with the riches of the poet's soul—glittering with priceless gems, and displaying throughout great depth of thought and imagination, conveyed in impassioned and occasionally gorgeous language—it wants that entireness and plan which have ever been regarded as the characteristics necessary to constitute a great work. We say this in no disparagement to Mr. Montgomery's eminent ability ; we have no inclination to drag into sight mere artis tical deficiencies; but it is essential to the due preservation of the established reputation of the poet, that his present effort should be viewed as what it is in reality—a series of pictures illustrative of the life and character of our great Reformer—and not as a poem of the same class as his former efforts, "The Omnipresence of the Deity," " The Messiah," and " Satan." Viewed in this character, we are fully warranted in accord ing to " Luther" our unqualified admiration. In the effort to place before the public the career of this illustrious and wonderful man, Mr. Montgomery has been eminently suc cessful ; and the Christian world and, above all, the Protes tant world, owe to him for this noble effort a debt of grati tude which we trust it will not be slow to repay. In the course of his performance of the work which he has under taken, he has not only " married to immortal verse career of the great apostle of the Reformation, but he has shown that he possesses reach and strength of mind to appre ciate both the character of that extraordinary man and the magnitude of the great work itself, which, under the divine prompting, it was his fate to be the instrument of achieving for the eternal happiness of mankind. We shall endeavour to place before our readers a few spe cimens of the style in which Mr. Montgomery has executed his task ; and first we extract a description of the appearance of Luther on the memorable occasion of the Diet of Worms. But, there he stands I—in superhuman calm Concenter'd and sublime: round him, pomp And blaze imperial ; haughty eyes, and tongues Whose tones are tyranny, in vain attempt The heaven-born quiet of his soul to more ' • Crown'd with the grace of everlasting truth A more than monarch among kings be stood : And, while without the ever-deep'ning mass Of murm'ring thousands on the windows watch'd The torchlight gleaming through the crimson'd glass Of that throng'd ball, where TRUTH on trial was, Seldom on earth did ever sun go down, Or evening mantle o'er a grander scene. There, priests and barons, counts and dukes were met, Landgraves and margraves, earls, electors, knights, And Charles the Splendid, in the burning pride Of princely youth, Empires at his feet And there—the Miner's Son, to match them all! With black robe belted round his manly waist, Before that bar august be stood serene, By self dominion reining down his soul. Melancthon wept, and Spalatinus gazed With breathless wonder on that wondrous Man ; While, mute and motionless, a grim array Of priests and monks, in combination dire, On Luther fasten'd their most blood-hound gaze Of bigotry : but not one rippling thought disturb'd The calm of heaven on his commanding face. Meek, but majestic—simple, but sublime In aspect, thus he braved the awe of Rome With brow unshrinking, and with eyes that tlash'd As if the spirit in each glance were sbeath'd. And then, with voice that seem'd a soul in sound Made audible, he pled the Almighty's cause In words almighty as the cause he pled, THE BIBLE'S !—God's religion, not the priest's, By craft invented, and by lucre saved. For this, life, limb and liberty he vow'd To sacrifice ; though earth and hell might rage, Not pope, nor canon, council nor decree, Would shake him ; from the throne of that resolve, By fiend nor angel would his heart be laurl'd ; Truth and his Conscience would together fight, The world 'gainst them—and they against the world ! And then, with eyeballs flashing intellectual fire, Full in the face of that assembly roll'd The fearless Monk those ever famous words— " God help me! Here I stand alone. Amen!" And let all ages that " Amex " repeat, For it is worthy ; angels might the word Have echoed, and th' eternal arches rung A response, as it roll'd from Luther's lip, Solemn and deep, and with stupendous fate Attended,—since The Truth was then uplift, The Cross defended, and the Bible crown'd With vict'ry ; when alone the Monk of God Rallied his spirit into high resolve, And 'gainst the Pope, the Devil, and The World, Terror, and time, and man's ingratitude, Fearless as Stephen, like a rnattyr stood, — Firm as The Rocx on which his faith was built. In a different style from this powerful and yet not over ornate description is the following chaste and beautiful pas sage upon the mood of Luther whilst confined in the fortress of Wartburg : But Nature hath her sad and silent moods, Her solemn counterparts to serious man ; And oft, at sunset, when pale autumn sighed Like a lone spirit, wailing through the woods Of Wartburg, Luther mourn'd 'mid falling leaves And flowers dejected, till the dew-fall 'gan To whiten round him, and his boding mind Took from the season types of sadd'ning power ; But most at midnight, when the moon array'd The inspiration of her pallid beam O'er plain and mountain, from his harrow'd sleep The exile rose, and through the window-grate Of his high turret, o'er the woods and dew-white fields, And cold earth slumb'ring in the glassy air. Gazed in tranced thought, through many a tongueless hour; Or, rapt in dreams, his radient eyeballs roll'd Theirdreams, glance of awe along the glowing heavens, (That Scripture bright, whose syllables are stars !) And from those orbs, oracularly bright, Drew meanings holy, intimations high, And truths beyond a s tronomy to preach ; For inlon worlds by POWER UNSEEN upheld, There shined a secured,— Inshield symbol of the Church secured,— mercy d, yet by myst'ry saved. Again, in th e • srit-stirring and noble chapter entitled the Rome, Destinies of we are presented with the following elo quent aspiration Oh, for for a Luther, withhis dreadless eye, And voice by Scripture eloquently loud, To front the brazen Antichrist , eit and face The Vatican : with all its v Its marshalld doctrines, andl array, Its lies i t ) t hi s plann'd !

Ob, that in light, from flames where Ridley died, Or Cranmer suffer'd ins is burning death, The Church of Englanwould her hist'ry read, And ponder, as she read with eye of prayer, Till in that light her lethargy awoke, And rising, like a giant from a sleep Enchanted, back the Romish chain would fall Dissever'd, from her limbs of glory dash'd In horror ; then again that trumpet cry, That battle-voice magnanimously bold, The tocsin of a nation's truthful mind By Heaven excited, would once more be heard, Like moral thunder, round the Seven-hi:l'd Seat Of Antichrist, in peels of dauntless --- 41 No PEACE WITH ROME, TILL.

States later than We have no papers from the Units those brought by the previous arrivals Considerable excitement had been caused in Nova Scotia amongst commercial men, after the Acadia's arrival, by the proposition of a new scale of duties on foreign produce. It is argued in the papers that we have received, that, by re ducing these protective duties, without demanding a corre sponding reduction of the duties on British produce in the foreign market, the commerce of our colonies would suffer very materially, their carrying trade would he grievously in jured, and a most decided and impolitic advantage given to the commerce and shipping of the American Union. The subject had attracted the earnest attention of the Pro vincial Legislature. On the 10th instant the Hon. J. B. Uniache moved fOr a committee to prepare an addresi•to her Majesty to avert this evil, and with great promptitude the address was prepared, and it was adopted in the Legisla tive Council on the following evening. It was remarked, that the enterprising merchants there could never sustain their present competition with the foreigner if (as by the proposed scale) but 23. 6d. a cwt. was imposed on foreign dried fish, whilst the Americans taxed ours I dollar, with a like disproportion in other articles in favour of the foreigner. This important address was brought by the Acadia, for pre sentation to her Majesty. It was expected the session would close about the 18th or 19th instant. We subjoin the Acadia's log and list of passengers. It will be seen from the former that she encountered a great deal of ice during her passage homewards. LIST OF PASSENGERS.

On Sunday afternoon the Patrick Henry, packet-ship, which left that port on the Bth instant, arrived here. All the papers of the Bth instant contain an account of what they head, " Another lIPLeod Affair. It appears that a man, named John Sheridan Hogan, a native of Ireland, but a resi dent of Upper Canada, had been arrested at Lockport, the place where M`Leod was arrested, on a charge of having par ticipated in the burning of the Caroline steamer. He was taken before Mr. Leonard, police justice of the village. The justice refused, however, to interfere. Hogan was, notwith standing, sent to gaol, and was to have been carried next morning, on a writ of habeas corpus, before Judge Ransom. In the morning, however, according to the information re ceived at New York on the eve of the sailing of the Patrick Henry, and which Captain Delano has obligingly communi cated to us, the prisoner was not to be found: he had made his escape, either by stratagem, or, what is more probable, by connivance, during the night, and crossed the border into Canada. A very fortunate conclusion to an affair which, like that of M`Leod, might have given much trouble, and created much anxiety. Whilst the excitement caused by the arrest of Hogan was at its height, the citizens of Lockport disco vered that the commander of the party who had burned the Caroline, Sir Allan M`Nab, had actually passed through the state, on his way to embark for England. " Over one hun dred of the citizens turned out," says the Herald," mounted horses, and put out on the road to Albany, with the hope of overtaking him." Sir Allan little dreamt the risk lie ran from these creatures of excitement. Snug in London, he can afford to laugh at their madness. The New York money-market is described as " getting easier." The offerings of the hanks uaa ninee uff, while the ablity of the institutions had increased. First-class paper could be got at 7to 9 per cent. per annum. The stock market was heavy, and prices were declining. The operations for foreign exchange had been large, but the rates were in favour of the American. The imports of specie were greater than the exports. On London the rate was 1071 to 108 ; on Paris, sf. 284 c. to sf. 30c.; on Amsterdam 391 to 40; on Hamburgh, 361; and on Bremen; 76 to 77. The Resumption Bill had not passed the Legislature of Pennsylvania. A conference was holding respecting it ; and apprehensions were expressed lest it should, after all, be re jected. The banks, meanwhile, were preparing to meet the requirements of the bill, should it pass the legislature. Tne money market was, in consequence, " tight." Prices of stocks generally were much depressed. Mr. Nicholas Biddle, Mr. Joseph Copperthwait, and Mr. J. Andrews had applied to the Court of Common Pleas for a writ of habeas corpus, which had been allowed. The hear ing was fixed for the Bth inst. The decision of the court in the cases of these individuals would, of course, be the same as that in the case of Mr. Jaildon. New Orleans had been the scene of a bank panic. The notes of the Atchafalaya, Orleans, Exchange, and Improve ment Banks had been refused at the counters of all the other institutions ; and, as those comprised nearly all the whole circulation of the city and the state, the shock was imme diately felt throughout the community. The New Orleans papers, of the 21th ult., state, that Cap tain Andrews, of the schooner Zatriskie, seven days from Matamoras, had reported, that, as he was about leaving the city, an express arrived, stating that a body of about five hundred Mexicans had crossed over into Texas and fallen in with a Texan force, when, after a short engagement, the Mexicans were completely routed. Such was the slaughter reported, it was said that but two Mexicans escaped with their lives. Captain A. did not remain to obtain the particu lars of the engagement. vessel u NEW SOUTH WALES By way of New Zealand we have received Sydney papers of the 23d of October. The commercial affairs of Sydney continued in a most deranged state. Several commercial houses had failed, and among theta the firm of Gore and Co., for £165,000. An impression prevailed that the worst was still to come. Goods had been sold by auction at the ruinous loss of 50 per cent. upon the cost price ; and yet then the demand was inconsiderable, as purchasers were waiting for still greater sacrifices. To add to the melancholy prospects of the colony, the crops were burnt up for want of rain, and there was no grass for the sheep. A New Zealand journal says, that some years of prosperity must pass over before New South Wales can fully recover from the distressed condition into which a variety of causes have 'forced her. We quote the following from one of these papers :—" We have seen letters from Sydney, by the Matilda, stating, that labouring men were being engaged at 10d. a-day, and rations. This is £l2 per annum, and the cost of the rations is about £26; together £3B per annum. Another letter stated, that one employer had engaged ten men for £l7O per annum, or £l7 a-year, and rations at £26, making £l3 per annum. Wages are stated to be nearly as low in Port Philip, Van Dieman's Land, and South Australia. And even at this wretched reward for industry, it is stated to be difficult to get employment in those colonies at the present moment. We believe these rates are the lowest ever known in that part of the world, and is the strongest proof of the unhinged state of affairs in those colonies. It cannot be ex!)ected that this depression will long endure, and we hope 'future accounts will dezeribe the labourer's lot to be rapidly advancing to that state which the industrious, when they are leavin borne, 'easouably expect to find on their arrival, The Gazelle of Upper Germany states from Frankfort that a rumour is current in the diplomatic circles of that place of the intention of the King of Hanover to abdicate in avour of his son THE LATE EARL OF MUNSTER.—This late lamented nobleman, who was for eighteen years vice-president of the Royal Asiatic Society, and in the last year was elected its president, in the room of the Right Hon. C. W. Wynn, took a great interest in its proceedings and frequently presided at its public meetings. On the 21st of February, 1835, in this capacity, it devolved upon him to present the honorary dip loma to the late lamented Sir Alexander (then Lieutenant) Burnes, which he did in a very effective manner, whilst to the last he was on terms of affectionate intercourse with this distinguished and enterprising officer, whose melancholy fate seemed latterly to operate strongly on his mind. During his residence in India, which was only three years, he attained a very considerable knowledge of the Arabic, Sanscrit, and Hiudostanee languages and literature, and he has, for some years past, been engaged in a very extensive work, illustrative of the military hi s t o ry of the Alahoinetlan nations, from the rise of their founder to the present time, and th e p rosecution of which continued to occupy his attention un til the last moment of his melancholy end. For this purpos e he had collected a very large and valuable library Of Asiatic and Egyptian works, and his last publication was . a list, in Arabic, of military and historical letters, lithographed iEn w b o li r s k h s 'an w d " L 'h a , tin .l , t . h he a . c di . s o s ' e n m p l y t in cti amongst the various learned societies and individuals, not only in Europe, but throughout the East.

The Times has takvii up the cause of these annuitants with con,iderable vehemence ; d no doubt there is are of the endless ape plausibi;ity in the views u to distinguish between {Efferent call forth, has set his face against nin this respect. The fact is, the maiditications urged upon him are impracticable, even were they. just and expedient in, principle. Partial interests, and individual feeling may exclaim against the tax ; but, as it is impossible to deny the necessity for it, Sir Robert Peel will depend upon the common sense and sound judgment of the country protecting him against the clamour of faction and terest Iteration of his p 1 There is one circumstance which deserVes to be remarked ,n regard to the nature and extent of the opposition Sir Robt. Peel has experienced. The classes on which the tax will chiefly fall are those on whom the newspapers mainly rely for their circulation and their advertisements. I don't mean to say that the Times, Herald, or even the Morning Chronicle, and Globe, are moved greatly by this consideration, but it is obvious that the fact to which I refer gives the objectors to the tax a mighty advantage in making themselves heard, and, accordingly, the columns of these journals are crammed with the most paltry, shabby, and niggardly complaints against the proposed tax, while, of course, nobody thinks of defend ing it, as nobody has an interest in contributing to the re venue, for the mere patriotism of the thing. Depend upon it, however, that the public feeling is not so generally or so strongly opposed to the tax as the tone of the journals just named might induce many to suppose. You willsee that, in a day or two, the Times, Herald, and some other respectable . . - t just now to let the malcontents ve their swing, will come round and support the premier's papers, who deem 1 plan. The new tariff has given almost unmixed satisfaction : the mercantile classes generally consider the three per cent. on income a very, cheap sacrifice for so great a boon. Yet it seems in other circles to be utterly forgotten that the advan tages proposed under this head would necessarily fall to the ground if the income tax were to be given up. This is just another proof of the too prevalent morality that it is all fair to cheat the revenue, a maxim upon which the opposition to the new tax is based in a great many quarters. The machi nery to be called into operation by the new tax was explained by Sir Robert on Friday evening, and though it is impossible to strip it entirely of its obnoxious character, the plan seems as little oppressive, and as effective, as possible. Whatever may be the feeling out of doors, there is little doubt as to the fate of the measure in parliament. If the opinion of the.country was clearly against it, no doubt mem ' bers would yield greatly to the pressure from without; but according to present appearances, the opposition is partial and in no respect national. Sir Robert Peel will therefore be supported by a majority in the House of Commons beyond all doubt—the more strenuously that Lord John Russell and his supporters have made the income tax a party question, and put the issue between the sham budget of the whigs an d the financial plans of Sir Robert Peel. There ik no rational doubt, therefore, that the scheme in its main features will be carried through both houses in due time. It is possible that an alteration may be introduced so far favourable to profs s, sional and other incomes not derived from property and capital, in the form of a deduction, as a saving or reserved fund' for casualties. I know such a proposition has been talked of and favourably .regarded in influential quarters. But the point is one of great practical difficulty. _ ECCLESIASTICAL RESIDENCES The following is an abstract of the principal clauses of the bill brought into the House of Lords by the Archbishop of Canterbury Clause 1. Provides that whenever it shall appear to be expe dent to relieve any bishop, having more episcopal houses of residence than one, from any of such houses ; or to provide any bishop with a more convenient house of residence ; or to add to, alter, improve, or take down and rebuild, the house of residence belonging to his see; it shall be lawful, by the au thority provided in an act passed in the session of parliament, held in the sixth and seventh years of the reign of his late majesty, with the consent under the hand and episcopal seal of such bishop to make such arrangements as may by such authority be deemed most expedient, for selling and con veying, to such person or body corporate, and for such con sideration as may be approved by the like authority, any epis copal house of residence then belonging to the see of such bishop, or for taking down the same or any part thereof, and selling the site or materials thereof (as the circumstances may render expedient), and for applying the proceeds of any such sale towards the adding to, altering, improving, or taking down and rebuilding of any remaining houee belonging to such see, or towards the building of a new episcopal house of resi dence for the same see or any other site to be approved by the like authority, or to such other purpose and in such manner as shall appear to be most conducive to the permanent benefit of such see ; and that so much of the said act as relates to the providing of any bishop with a more suitable and conve nient residence shall be extended so as also to include and apply to such adding to, altering, improving, or taking down and rebuilding. 3.

THE BENCH AND THE BAR The following scene, which we copy from the Southern Reporter, is vividly descriptive of similar occurrences which have taken place at almost all the assize towns; between the Right Hon. Lefroy, and the gentlemen of the bar. The case upon trial at the time the conversation detailed below took place was an action upon an 1 0 U for the amount of £loo. The case for the plaintiff having closed, Mr. Bennett, on the part of the bar, hoped his lordship would adjourn the court. His Lordship said that Mr. Bennett could not be in earnest to adjourn the court in the middle of a case. Mr. Bennett said they were quite exhausted by so length ened a sitting ; they could not do justice to their clients by proceeding at so late an hour (seven o'clock.) His Lordship replied that it was a most improper system to adjourn the court in the middle of a case of this description. They had only got through one case during the day, and he would, therefore, decline adjourning the court. Mr. Bennett stated that it' that was his lordship's decision, he had to tell him, on the part of the bar, that they found it quite impossible to proceed with the business, and be pre pared for the business on the following day. The Court would not adjourn. Mr. Bennett.—Well, my lord, if you go on this way you will be the death of me, and you will have to provide for my wife and children. His Lordship would adjourn the court if he thought no inconvenience would be the consequence ; but, under the circumstances, he would protest against being dictated:to by the bar. _ _ _ Several members of tha bar then retired, and Mr. Collins was about following them. when His Lordship inquired if he had any witnesses to produce for the defendant ? Mr. Collins.—Yes, my lord, but I must respectfully de cline producing them until to-morrow. Court.—l see how the matter is now ; and, as I am deter mined to uphold the dignity of the bench, I must decline being dictated to, and request that you call on the witnesses; otherwise I will dispose of the case, and then let the courts above decide who it was that acted properly. Mr. Collins.—Your lordship must excuse me acting further in the case ; for I must be guided by the conduct of my senior brothers at the bar, and retire. Messrs. Collins, Venn, Bennett, and Freeman, then left the court, and the remainder of the proceedings were con ducted by the agents at both sides. The defendant was examining several witnesses, when it was intimated by the jury that they were perfectly satisfied with the evidence produced, and that the defendant might close his case. The issue was sent up, and a verdict returned for the de fendant with 6d. costs. We understand that a meeting of the bar was held on Tuesday morning, in the bar-room, in obedience to a sum mons from Mr. Bennett, Q.C., Father of the Munster Bar, at which a resolution was passed in approval of the conduct of Mr. Collins, Q. C., on the previous evening, hereby censuring the course taken by the learned baron (Lefroy.)— Cork Examiner. EMIGRATION.—The expatriation of artisans from the ma nufacturing districts to America continues unabated. In ad dition to extensive preparations for emigration of large num bers from Ashton-under-Lyne, Strines, Marple, Mellor, &c., we may mention, that, at the beginning of this week, an accredited individual proceeded to Liverpool from Comp stall Bridge, to ensure the passage of sixty emigrants, by the deposit of for each individual.—Manchester Guardian. THE WEATHER AND THE CORN TRADE.—The weather has, since our last, been characteristic of the month, very high winds having prevailed, and partial though rather heavy showers having fallen ; in the neighbourhood of the metropo lis it 'rained hard on Thursday night : our country letters make no mention, however, of much wet. Durine the last day or two, the atmosphere has been highly absorbent, and there is now little superfluous moisture in the land ; indeed, most soils are in admirable working condition : rapid pro gress has, therefore, been made with sowing and other out door labours, and this department of husbandry is in a state of considerable forwardness. Though the air has been keen and piercing, the thermometer has not, we believe, sunk be low freezing point, and vegetation has consequently received no injury from the cold. The accounts respecting the ap pearance of the young wheat plant continue, on the whole, a oe t w i s u renyrt' taken some p a i ns t o ascer t a i n are haver atpr lately present situated with reg ar d t o s t oc k s : s s we have been able to gath er prove, h owever, so t s hha f fc a ne c ro t m o various, that we fear to place much reliance upon them. From the very general complaints of deficiency of last year's crop, and the liberal manner , in which supplies have since harvest been brought forward by the growers, Lea s till it we think, be safely inferred , that the quantity of w the farmers' hands mu st be smaller tha n is usual at t m ay , a ill's of year, and that a larg e p ortion of forei gn will yet be 're quired before another crop can be , secured. Of the 2,500,000 q uarters of wheat importe d in September, ther e i s now not much more than 500,000 quarters remaining in the kingdom, whilst the bonded stock b u t little exceeds that q uantit y. From the South of Europe little more can be expected, un less prices advance here considerably ; and, though there is no doubt that all the wheat there is to spare at the different Baltic ports will find its way to this country, there seems no great chance of our being overwhel med with foreign, even under the new corn bill—at least, for one year ; hut its effects will unquestionably (after it has been some time in operation) be to lower prices here. Little progress has been made during the week i n ge tti ng thi s m easure through parliament, and it is yet uncert a i n how soon it may come into force. The decided fall which took place in the price of wheat at Mark Lane on Monday last, has imparted additional languor to the trade ; and at nearly all the leading provincial markets held in the early part of the week, the value of this grill" has suffered further abatement—Mark Lane Express. Iran On aied lie SECOND EDITION. LIVERPOOL CORN. EXCHANGE,--This Dav (From Messrs. 1? 'SIN & SONS' Circular.) supplied with Wheat, Oat arrivals coastwise, as well as from abroad, are collectively very limited this we( seen on reference to the import note below. The millers and dealers, who have for some time past been waiting a termination to the debates up)n the Corn Bill, and relief from a portiln of the Wheat and FlOur in bond, seem disappointed by the delay ; and the stock in the hands of many being greatly diminished, such are at length obliged to purchase, at least for immediate purposes :—we had, accord ingly, a good attendance of buyers to-day, and most descrip tions of English, Irish, and Foreign free Wheats, realized a further advance upon the improved rates of Thursday, thereby increasing our quotations 4d to sd, and, in partial instances, 6d per 701bs over those of this day week, at which a fair ex tent of business was transacted. Towards the close of the market, however, sales were not so readily effected, and the latter amendment was scarcely maintained. The general qualities of English and Irish Flour were ls. for sack, and Foreign duty-paid Is. to Is. 6d. per harre dearer than on Tuesday last, with a tolerable demand for In bond, Wheat and Flour have met a fair inquiry, but holders requiring higher prices, seems to have checked any further business, and no additional sales have transpired to-day Although Barley is in short supply, and Malt, Beans, an Pease continue in slow request, no change in value is appa Oats, of which very few good samples were offered, com manded more attention, and fine Irish rather exceeded 3s per 451bs. Oatmeal was also taken off rather freely, and prime mark were saleable at our improved currency annexed.

EXECUTION • NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.—The execution of John Jones, alias Samuel Moore, the Mansfield murderer, has just taken place, before an immense concourse of people, many of whom had travelled on foot from Mansfield, to wit ness the disgusting exhibition. From the period of his con demnation, the unhappy man showed the deepest signs of contrition, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and longed for the arrival of the period when his sufferings would terminate. lie was repeatedly visited by . the chaplain, the Rev. W. Butler, and has been a willing recipient of religious instruction. Jones retired to rest about midnight, and arose at six o'clock. The rites of the church were administered to him, and at eight o'clock he was conducted to the press room, where be was heavily ironed. On his passage to the scaffold, he asked to see his grave, and was conducted to the yard in which it was dug; he surveyed it with great calmness, and threw a letter into it, requesting that it might not be opened. When the rope w as put round his neck, he said t o the hangman, " Not quite so tight, if you please ;" and then the poor man affectionately shook hands with all around him. The scene was most affecting ; but Jones appeared the least moved of any. At the drop he addressed the spectators, prayed aloud for s everal minutes, shook hands with th e exe cutioner, and gave the signal for the fatal lau nc h. H e ap peared to suffer very little. Workmen are engaged in sinking an Artesian well in Pic cadilly, London, just by St. James's Church. • COUNTY MAGIsTr.ACY.—The two senior magistrates for the county of Lancaster, are, Lord Skelmersdale and Sir T. D. Hesketh, Bart., the first having qualified in 1800, the second in 1806. The whole number of magistrates in the county is 313, made up as follows :—in Lonsdale Hundred, 43 ; Amounderness' 18 ; Blackbur n , 38 ; L ey l an d, 21 ; We s t Derby, 81 ; Salford 109. THE ELECTROTYPE APPLIED TO MAKE COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Base coin is extensively in circulation in Worcester. Pence and halfpence, in particular, have been successfully counterfeited, having every appearance of genuine coin, by the chemicai application of a solution of copper on a lead body. The deceit may be easily detected by rubbing the sus pected pieces against any rough substance, by which the coat ing will be removed. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—One of the soldiers of the Guards in the St. George's Barracks loaded his firelock with ball cartridge, just after the drums had ceased last evening, while four other men were in the room, and com menced firing, whether at either of them it is not possible to say, but immediately on his doing so the others most im properly left the room, instead of disarming him, and he continued firing for some time, until the whole of his am munition (12 rounds) was expended. One of the shots seared a man who happened to be near. During this time he was so furiously excited that nobody durst enter the room ; he then threw himself from the room he was in, that being a top room, into the barrack-yard, clearing most mi raculously the iron railing, and is now carried to the hospi tal, of course in a hopeless state. He had been drinking apparently very little at the canteen, and had but a short time previous obtained some bread, some of which was found on the table.—Times of Thursday.—We take the fol lowing from the Times of Friday :—Thomas Hutchins is a private in the third battalion of the Ist regiment of grenadier foot guards, now stationed in the Mews Barracks, Trafalgar square, and was considered the finest man in the regiment, measuring 6ft. 2 in. in height, and stout in proportion, and, when, uninfluenced by liquor, was a quiet, inoffensive person; but a little drink would sometimes excite him to an "extraor dinary degree, and cause him to quarrel with his comrades. On Wednesday night, at about nine o'clock, after having in , dulged rather freely, he retired with three others to one of the sleeping-rooms at ihe top of the building for the night, where, however, he had not been many minutes before he commenced quarrelling with a man named Greene, whom he at length threatened with his vengeance, and, fearing the consequences, Greene made his escape down stairs, and informed the s geant that Hutchins was drunk. The sergeant immediately repaired up stairs, and ordered him down to the orderly room, for the purpose of testing his sobriety. He, however, struck the sergeant under the ear with his bayonet, and slightly wounded him. Another man was slightly wounded in the face in endeavouring to rescue the sergeant, who, but for his interference, would no doubt have been murdered. An, however, ran out of the room with the exception of one man, who had got into bed, to whom Hutchins said, " You have never injured or given me any offence ; I shall not there fore hurt a hair of your head." Hutchins, however, now commenced firing at the door, imagining, no doubt, that some of them were on the other side of it. Six bullets passed through the door, which is about two inches in thickness, one of them lodging in another door at the end of the passage, which is about 12 feet in length. He also fired through the front• window at the sentries in the yard, who, however, for tunately escaped. Hearing several persons coming up the stairs, he threw up the back window, and flung out his belt and pouch, and having exclaimed. " Now, you , follow me," precipitated himself frOm the window into the back yard, a height of about 50 feet, when a rush was instantly made, and he was found lying upon his back in a state of in sensibility. He was immediately placed upon a stretcher, and conveyed to the barracks hospital Din Rochester-row, Westminster, where he was attended by rs. Johnson and Bellam, of the regiment, who discovered that his left arm was broken ; lint the extent of injury sustained could not then be discovered. On inquiry yesterday at the hospital, it was ascertained that he had been spitting blood the whole of the day, which proceeded from the internal injuries he had re ceived, and which are of so serious a nature as to preclude all hope of his recovery. The flagstone upon which he fell was broken into several pieces, but not a spot of blood was to be seen. Hutchins is in the 2Sth year of his age. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW. —A monthly statement o hemp, flax, and tallow, has just appeared from the house o one of the first brokers in the trade ; and according t o this, the quantity of hemp on hand is 5,194 tons, the delivery for the month of February being 798, at a price of £35 to £35• 10d • for clean per ton. The stock of flax is given - at 912 tons, and the delivery at 144 tons ; the price of good twelve-head flax being 48s. per ton. The stock of tallow is stated at 29,685 casks, and the delivery for February at 8,323 cash, the nearest price during that period being, as it is now, about 48s. for good P. Y. C. Compared with the same period last year, this statement shows a decline of about £3 per ton in hemp, and an increase in the value of tallow of about 2s. per cwt. Flax appears to have undergone no varia tion.—Shipping Gazette. THE NEW TARIFF.-At the sheep fair held at Caister, in Lilcolnshire, last Friday, good hogs sold at 30s. to 355. per heal, which at the corresponding fair last year would have brought 403. to 455. very prirrie 50s.

MARCH 24. Our arrivals of Grain are very moderate this week. The con tinued general depression of trade' in the manufacturing districts has caused our dealers to work out of stock, whilst the reduced rates have induced most holders to withdraw their samples. To day our spew of Wheat is small, the best conditioned New and Old is I s per qr. dearer. and in second sorts there is more doing at former prices. Fine Barly Is per qr. higher. Oats have advanced id per st., and Shelling Is per load. Beans as before. No variation in other articles. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 24. Our market to-day, for a Good Friday, was moderately well sop. plied with Beasts as to numbers, but their general quality was very inferior. With the exception of the receipts from Scotland by sea, which amounted to about 500 horned and polled Scots (only ar•e of which were brought forward this morning, the remainder keing kept back for Monday) the whole of them were the refuse of the last market day. The attendance of buyers being numerous the Beef trade was somewhat steady, but no improvement was noticed in the quotations. Sheep, which were in short supply, sold freely at full currencies, and a good clearance was easily effected. This being the great Lamb market. the demand for all qualities was brisk, and the best Essex Lambs produced 8s per 81b: The numbers exhibited on this occasion were comparatively small, they being nearly 13,ig; less than at the corresponding period of 1841. This was attributed to the great losses caused by the 'epidemic in our grazing districts. From the Isle of Wight only 100 Lambs came to hand, whilst their prices ruled from Os to per 81b. The Veal and Pork trade was firm at late rates. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at front Lib to .t.'2o los each. By the quantities of Sibs, sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET, March 28. . . The heavy stock of Potatoes at present on our market, has com• pletely checked the demand, both the town and country dealers anticipating a further decline in prices. ~ There has been little or no business of moment transacted to-day, and the market closed exceedingly dull this evening. Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups is 10d to 2s per gab. There is a pretty good sale for Turnips, and the best descriptions of Sweedes commands 2gs per ton.

We are entirely without change in our Cotton market ; the de mand on Saturday amounted to 25 0 bales, and to-day it has not exceeded 3000 bales, at last week's prices. Eager week is a par tial holiday in Al anchester and the manufacturing districts generally and that we must calculate upon even a quieter week than we have lately had. The market is well supplied with Cotton, but holders do not press their stocks, they arc nevertheless willing sellers at a fair market price.
