When—carrying with her the means and materials of her own propulsion for thousands of miles—she thus impetuous dashes on her course, as if scorning the saucy waves that occasionally break in gen tle showers of spray over her deck ;—when, snorting like the joyful colt just let loose upon his favourite sward, she careers in the pride of her strength over the unfathomed fields of the boundless ocean, and yields herself to the grateful guidance of the skilful steersman,—the enthusiast,—who, from the peep, beholds her huge and reckless bulk—her lofty masts — her full distended sails, all trim and staunch—her engines propelled by a wondrous power—confesses that " she walks the waters like a thing of life," and enjoys a blameless grati fication in the reflection that fitted as she is to visit the re motest shores in the habitable globe ; to supply mutual wealth and mutual wants, and thereby promote the interests of humanity,—she presents an animated, and though indeed a perishable, a sublime and renewable monument of the do minion and triumph of the world of mind over the world of matter been accomplished by nature. so little We passed the Duchess of Kent, and other steamers, homeward bound, with their decks crowded with pasengers. The wide estuary of the Dee, Hilbre Island, and the coast of \Vales, from the Point of Ayr, backed by the distant moun tains, claimed the attention of the observer in rapid succes sion, and before noon we were abreast of the Ormsheads— the ship going eight and nine knots an hour, with twenty eight strokes of the engine a minute. We soon afterwards saw the Skerries, where the sea, during stor ms f rom th e N.W., rises to a fearful height. The afternoon was fine ; the light sportive waves gleamed in the sunbeams, and the mountains of the Snowdonian range rose in sombre grandeur in the thin mists that slightly obscured their summits. In a dimple near the apex of one of them we observed a remarkable and beau tiful cloud, forming an arch of white vapour resembling steam,—one of those eccentricities of nature rarely seen, which the painter is precluded from depicting, lest he should be accused of drawing upon the credulity of beholders of his production, by introducing the mar ve ll ous or t h e fi ct i t i ous. The bold and rocky shore of the island of Anglesea was now developed with its promontories and indentions. We marked the little bay and town of Amlwch ; and the hamlet of Camus, a long string of houses with a windmill, and church, and a cemetery, the grave-stones of which were plainly seen. We soon afterwards steered between the West Mouse rock and the main. The town of Holyhead, in an interesting but dangerous bay, next appeared. Here there is a noble pier, of 1,000 feet in length, with a lighthouse, built of a Welsh marble, elevated sixty feet above the mean level of the sea, and so lighted as to be peculiarly useful to the benighted ma riner making the port. Our attention was next directed to the telegraph station, on a hill on the north side of a steep point or promontory, whence passing vessels are punctually signalled to Liverpool ; and, near it, " the Head" on the South Stack, an isolated rock, from which to the main-land there is a sus pension bridge nearly 100 feet in width, which shows like a cobweb, spanning the charm between, them. Eastward of this are some remarkable cavernous openings in the precipi tous rocks that rampart this extraordinary locality, which, though well worthy of minute inspection, is, from its being at a remote point of Anglesea, seldom visited by tourists. One of the caves presents a conspicuously large square open ing close to the sea, which dashes into it with a thundering noise. But I refer my readers to Roscoe's " Wanderings in Wales," fora pleasing and graphical description of the whole. I cannot, however, deny myself the pleasure of quoting one short passage, descriptive of the South Stack and its light house : "There are few objects more interesting than the appear ance of the South Stack, when approaching it from the water. Its wild site and deserted air,—the lighthouse towering seventy feet in height,—the neat, comfortable buildings close undes its guardian wing, —the scunds of life and industry , mingled with the lashing of the sea, and the cry of innumer ably birds, circling above and around, were altogether of so unwonted a character, that had I been suddenly transported to the antipodes I could not have felt more unfeigned sur prise; and when, after ascending its steep and rocky stairs, I gazed from the summit of the lighthouse on the wilderness of waters far around, and, descending, entered the quiet pleasant retreat which the master has establishsd here, and saw the neatness and comfort of every thing, I began to think I was perhaps only reading too abstractedly some old fairy tale. But Captain Evans (the master) soon convinced me to the contrary by introducing me to an excellent dinner, in which there was nothing dreamy or unsubstantial, though it appeared, indeed, conjured from the vasty deep ! During the afternoon I amused myself in scrambling down the South Stack to the water's edge—in observing the myriads of gulls standing en the ledges of the rock, or flying about in all di rections—in examining the suspension bridge —and scaling the towering acclivity above, from which the island and lighthouse appear but diminutive objects ; while the ever varying ocean was enlivened by numerous vessels passing up or down the channel." Leaving Holyhead, we steered down channel to the S.W. The bay of Carnarvon, and the well-defined mountains be hind it came in view, also Bardsey Island, to the south. A distant sail, seen under the high land, appeared, but as a mere white and unmoving speck. The sea was comparatively smooth, with light winds, incliniug to calm ; and the pas sengers amused themselves in various ways—some playing at backgammon, others " spinning yarns," others in re lating what they had heard or experienced " in flood or field," and others perusing, in occasional snatches, "O'Hal loran, or the Insurgent Chief," " Two Years before the Mast," or " Captain Kyd, or the Wizzard of the Sea," works which were found in the saloon, and which served to wile away an occasional hour, and were pored ever by my sea man-looking shipmate, Mr. Chadwick, with an avidity which placed him hors de combat of conversation, and which reminded me of my early predilection in devouring the ad mirable and moral-inspiring "Adventures of Robinson Crusoe." The ship meantime had made excellent way, having passed the South Static Lighthouse in little more than eight hours from Liverpool against a strong spring -tide —a distance of upwards of seventy miles. At half-past two o'clock, 'the Merlin, which had held on westward towards Dublin, became hull down on the horizon. We were, however, a long way to the southward of her, shaping our own course : had we followed her, powerful as she was, the little " Erin" would have been pretty close upon her heels. At four, we saw the Wicklow mountains, on the right ; and the Island of Bardsey, on the S.E., diminished in the distance, was visible, in the form of a gently-sloping and pointed hill. We were now fairly in the open channel, and the vessel, urged by the engines, gracefully tossed her head to the slight swell from the west ward, like a proudly-caparisoned charger, when his rider " stirs his courage with the steel." The weather was fine and sunny, and our commander's wife, a very young and interesting lady, who occupied the ladies' cabin, and whom I had not before seen, was persuaded to come on deck, with a view to dissipate the sea-sickness, which the hitherto gentle motion of the ship had provoked. But, alas ! this often merciless prostrator of the mental and physical energies even of the most vigorous of the ruder sex, who are unused to the rockiug of vessels, had marked her as another victim, and she was in a few minutes compelled to forego all idea of partaking in the contemplation of the surrounded sea view, interesting as it occasionally was by vessels seen in succession, and the varied appearances of the distant land. At six we saw Wicklow-head, bearing N.W. by N., the engines working smoothly and the ship running beautifully, at a rate of from eight to nine-and-a -half knots. About this time, Captain Christie discovered an error in the Manx Almanack, involving great possible danger, which I shall hereafter notice, with a view to its correction. Shortly be fore midnight we saw the Tuscar Light right a-head. This light is ninety miles from Holyhead, and is the principal guiding beacon for seamen on the south-east point of Ireland. In the evening we had observed the new moon, forming a sharp crescent or segment with the points upwards. In sea faring parlance, she was " on her back," and a bright star (Venus) appeared within a handsbreadth of her. This in verted position of the young moon is considered, by some veteran sailors, to be indicative of boiterous weather, and the :close proximity of the star renders the omen more por tentous. Captain Kennedy remarked to "the stranger," that " the moon and that star were married." " Then," said the latter jocularly, " we may look out for squalls ; for, depend upon it, such are the analogies of nature, that matri monial alliances, even amongst the planets, are as fraught with storms as those amongst the little bipeds who assume to lord it over this dirty ball, the earth." Little, however, did either of us anticipate what was brewing in the elements, for the night was placid and beautiful ; and the ocean, gently rolling, appeared as harmless and unconscious as the slum bering infant rocked in its cradle. (To be continued.) The members of the Royal Irish Academy are to have & grand dinner at Salthilj next month, to which Sir William R. Hamilton is invited, and several distinguished members of the British Association. By the death of Philip Harding, Esq., of Harding's-grove, Mallow, Arthur Blennerhasset, Esq., of Ballyseedy, Kerry, comes into the possession of a considerable tract of country, and a great accession of income. The Earl of Surrey has been called to the Upper House by the title of Baron Maltravers, a creation in the reign of Henry 111., and came into the Howard family by the mar riage of Sir John Fitzalan, called Arundel, with Eleanor; daughter of the fourth baron. The report of the severe illness of the Crown Prince of Hanover (Prince George of Cumberland) is, we are happy to learn, exaggerated. His Royal Highness is sorely afflicted at the loss of his beloved parent, but in other respects at the date of the last letters was in the enjoyment of good bodily health.—Record. O'CoNNELL AT CARLOW.—On Friday week, the agitator arrived at Borris, where he addressed the people assembled at the town from all quarters for the fair. He told them he had been at Kilkenny, and had the happiness of seeing heroic and virtuous women of Carlow, equal in patrotism to Mrs. Prunty, of Longford, of whom they had all heard. He said when he was there before he knew the women of Carlow were not inferior to those of Longford or any other part of the world, and he was not mistaken. (At this part of Mr. O'- Connell's speech two women were seen rushing through the crowd, one of them bearing in her arms a fine girl about eight or nine years of age, and the other followed by two little boys, and the whole party bathed in tears, particularly the little girl, who sobbed loudly. The women were crying out, " our husbands are taken away from us," and the chil dren were crying, "we have lost our fathers !" The child was handed into the carriage where Mr. O'Connell was, and he kissed it most affectionately, exclaiming, " Oh, the cruel monsters that could rend asunder the dearest ties of the hu man heart—this is more than I can bear," and he burst into tears !! ! I can safely say there was not a dry eye present. I never witnessed a more affecting sight. When Mr. O'Connell recovered his self-possession, he asked the women, whose numes were Murphy and Fenny, if they knew where their husbands were, and they replied, that they believed they were in Borris Castle. He then directed that Mr. French, as the agent for his son, and Mr. Ashton Yates, should go, accompanied by the parish priest, and demand the release of these men, or that their wives, who were there, should be allowed to see them. Mr. French accordingly knocked at the gate, and demanded admission for the wives and children, these two women in particular, as they were then present, and wanted to see their husbands and fathers. The women and children, with several other women who were moved to tears by the scene, were crying piteously, but the callous Cerberus, who was inside, said there was no admittance, as the persons outside were all strangers.

The book was of course taken away, and an inquiry instituted as to how she became possessed of it. An English editor, with much gravity, says that the way they procure black writing-ink in South Carolina is by whip ping the negroes until they cry, and then catching the tears. —American paper. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.-It appears by a table cf mortality iu the metropolis, that the total number of deaths registered. in the week ending Saturday, July 3, 1811, was males, 383 ; females, 368. (Weekly average, 1838-9; males, 475 ; females, 451.) Thirty-one livings are in the gift of Trinity College, Dub lin. One of them is held by an ex-fellow since the year 1787, and fifteen of them are possessed by reverend gentlemen who were fellows of Trinity. At the annual meeting of hop-planters and others, on the Bth instant, at the Horse Shoes, Lower Hardres, the duty was set at £155,000. Canterbury Races will take place on Barham Downs, on Thursday and Friday, the sth and 6th of August next.

It was reported in Chili that the jewels of the Temple of the Sun, which, at the time of the conquest of Peru, the natives had concealed from the Spaniards, have been lately discovered near the Cerro de Pasco ; the value of them bas been calculated at 180,000,000 dollars. The French papers state, that a courier, containing the official acceptance by Mehemet Ali of the Sultan's firman, passed through Paris on his way to England. Despatches received in Paris express increased apprehension for the Sultan's health. The Trafalgar is the largest ship of war that has been launched in the Thames dock-yards for the last half century, except the Queen Charlotte, mounting the same number of guns. The latter was launched from Deptford, about forty years ago ; but never went more than two voyages, on ac count of having, it was said, the dry rot, but she is now employed at home for useful purposes. THE FRUlT.—Apples do not appear to have "dropped" so numerously as was expected. Pears are partial, but in some places very good. Plums and damsons will probably be short. Filberts are partial, but promise decidedly a good half-crop. Backward cherries are rather short. —Maidstone Gazette. Two POACHERS SHOT.—On Saturday night last, Gaunt, gamekeeper to Mr. W. Horsfall, of Calverley, came up with two young men in the woods poaching; one of them has been but a short time released from Wakefield; they had a dog with them, and Gaunt says, that in raising his gun to shoot it, the gun went off before he got it to his shoulder, and lodged the contents in the bodies of the two poachers. One of them is dangerously wounded. Gaunt surrendered to jus tice on Monday.—Leeds Intelligencer. THE HARVEST.—The improvement in the crops from the rains is something quite wonderful. We never remember so important a benefit. The wheats are increased in the ear immensely, and the growth of the barley both in the stalk and ear is astonishing. An agriculturist, upon whom we can rely, assures us that his barleys have risen 12 inches in ten days. But we nevertheless apprehend that neither crop will be equal to that of last year, though there are prodigi ously fine appearances on some of the heavy and light lands of Norfolk. The second crop of hay will be greatly in creased. We have only to hope for a fortnight of sunshine to bring on an early harvest.—Norwich Mercury. REDUCTION OF COFFEE DUTIES.—One of the first fiscal measures contemplated by Sir R. Peel, on his accession to power, is confidently stated to be a material reduction of the dutie on foreign coffee. This statement is somewhat con firmed by the stress laid by the right hon. baronet, in his speech from the Tamworth hustings, on the peculiar severity of sugar culture in slave holding countries. As coffee is be coming the staple export of Brazil, a reduction of duty on it would, in all probability, procure a renewal of our commer cial treaty with that empire, on terms of equality, like those granted to other nations.—Journal of Commerce. BYRON'S LAST FRlEND.—William Parry, Major of Lord Byron's Brigade. Commanding Officer of Artillery and En gineers in the Service of the Greeks—whose confidencial friend he was, and whose hand he held when its last pulse grew slow until it ceased to throb, and whose eyes he closed when that mysterious spirit deserted its clay tenement—is now in the city of Halifax, in a state of total destitution. Numerous and rapid were the reverses which fell to the lot 01 Major Parry in his latter days; and having recovered his liberty after being taken prisoner while in the service of the Turkish government, he returned to England, and learnt that his eldest son was in Philadelphia, when, gathering to gether all that he possessed, he procured a passage in the ship Sampson, bound to New York : that vessel was wrecked at Whitehead in this province ; and now, in the seventy seventh year of his age, he is here in a state of mental and physical weakness, and suffering from actual want. The infant city of Halifax has now an opportunity afforded it for acquiring an enviable name, by extending relief to the last and most confidencial friend of Lord George Gordon Byron. —Halifax Morning Herald.—[A subscription had been commenced in Parry's behalf.] An infamous and most disreputable device produced an immense sensation throughout this city yesterday morning. Some heartless miscreants went about the streets spreading a report that our amiable and estimable representative, Mr. West, had died suddenly. One would have supposed that his gentleness of nature, his general philanthropy and kindli ness of disposition, would have secured him from such a species of revenge from his political opponents, and his friends from the shock which such a report was calculated to pro duce. But, alas! for our common nature; his house was surrounded by a mob of human savages, yelling with delight at the suppcised event, and actually inquiring when he was to be buried ! It is matter of great gratification to us, as it will be of universal joy to our readers, to know that Mr. West is nearly quite recovered from his recent feverish attack, and will, it is hoped, be able in the course of to-morrow per sonally to acknowledge to his friends, the interest felt on his behalf.—Dublin Evening Mail of Tuesday. CRIMINAL OFFENDERS.—We extract the following sta tistical information, relative to criminal offenders, &c., from a return moved for in the last parliament, by the ex-member for Kilkenny and rejected of Leeds, Mr. Joseph Hume. From this return it appears that the t o t a l number of persons com mitted for trial for various criminal offences, both against person and property, in England and Wales, amounted, in 1838, to 23,094, o f w h om 16,785 were convicted; in 1839, to 24,443, of' whom 17,832 were convicted ; and in 1840 to 27,187, of whom 19,927 were convicted. The number com mitted for trial in Scotland, in 1838, amounted to 3,418, of whom 2679 were convicted and outlawed ; in 1839 to 3,409, of whom 2,615 were convicted and outlawed ; and in 1840 to 3,872, of whom 2,945 were convicted and outlawed. In Ire land, the number of committals amounted, in 1838, to 15,723, of whom 9,609 were convicted ; in 1839 to 26,392, of whom 12,049 were convicted ; and in 1840 to 23,822, of whom 11,194 were convicted. The disparity which appears be tween the number of persons committed for trial and the number of those convicted in Ireland may perhaps be ac counted for by the system of violence and intimidation which is practised in that country towards prosecutors generally, who are in many cases deterred, by menaces and intimida tion, from coming forward to prosecute offenders. PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—A short time since we di rected attention to the unerring method by which portraits were taken at the Polytechnic Institution, by the process termed " Photographic." We have since visited the esta blishment, and, although so short a time has intervened, the improvements that have been made render it extremely pro blematical whether the science of portrait painting by this method has not been rendered perfect. We have here truly a " counterfeit presentment; and it will be satisfactory to the public to know that this interesting invention is not to be confined to the metropolis alone, but that the patentee has already granted licenses of his patent right for the use of his invention in the different provinces, and the inhabi tants of Liverpool, Brighton, Cheltenham, Southampton, Bristol, and Plymouth, will soon have an opportunity of obtaining what George Cruickshank calls " a most cruel likeness." Considered even as an aid to art; we look upon the photographic invention as invaluable.—London Paper. APPREHENSION OF GAVIN Scorr.—ln our last paper we noticed that this delinquent had been apprehended. Yesterday afternoon a communication was received in Glasgow from Marseilles, fully confirming that statement, and adding some additional particulars. It appears that the sum found in Scott's possession when apprehended was £4,208, thus show ing an immense deficit as compared to the sum he took away with him.—The missing money is so far accounted for as follows :—A German with whom Scott got acquainted, and of whom he made a confidant immediately on his arrival at Marseilles, had eased him, it is said, of a Bank of England note for £l,OOO, in addition t o a b ox or b un dl e o f sovere i gns, and the man is in custody. Farther, Scott admitted that he has squandered about £2,000 within the short period he has been away, in houses of indifferent fame in London and Paris ; and it will be remembered that Captain Miller secured some time since £7OO, which he had transmitted to his mother in Cambletown. It is thus to be feared, that notwith standing his capture, there may still be considerable deficiency in the sum of £8,600 with which he absconded. From some strange reason that is not explained, it would appear that the French police did not take Scott into custody immediately upon his arrival in Marseilles, and that they only searched his pockets, leaving him for a considerable time in full pos session and mastery of his portmanteau. It is not a little curious to state, that before toking this desperate step, Scott pk t vh o i a i l nastegthket number mslogoov ‘oht roofs. eset;.oh egwanr: first willr expected x t pt very e c was noted for his piety in Glas gow. —Glasgow Chronicle. FUNERAL OF THE QUEEN OF HAOVER.—The funeral of the late queen took place on the 7th instant. It was an affecting sight to behold the much afflicted aged monarch, with his head uncovered, follow the hearse on foot ; next came the crown prince, with one of his sisters (the Duchess of Dessau, and the Princess of Rudolfstadt), on each arm. Then followed the other sons of the queen, Prince Frederick of Prussia, and the Princes Alexander and Bernhard of Solms-Braunfels. The hearse . was drawn by eight black The coffin was very richly ornamented, and on it horses. was the royal crown , ‘vhion y resting i o r n l s a had wreath scattered of white flowers. roses.

The tide being low, the Great Burbo Bank showed like an island. On its crown, part of the ribs and iron-work of the " Superb" steamer, wrecked there about ten years ago, rose in black fragments, like the skeleton of some stranded Leviathan. The Medina, mail steam-ship, of 320 horse-power, started from Liverpool soon after us, and notwithstandiag her greatly superior force of engines, we kept well up with her for many hours. At half-past six we passed the "Queen" steamer, and showed our colours, a green flag at the main with the name of the ship, and a blue flag at the fore with her number in white letters. Bidston and Hoylake now looked beautiful in the sun, the latter, with its white houses, appearing like a little town. In an hour and thirty-seven minutes, though the tide was against us, we passed the Bell Buoy, a distance from the town of fif teen miles. The wind being fair for standing to the west ward, we had set all sail. The town, meantime, had gradually died from view, and the low cloud of haze and smoke that bung over it was all that indicated to the spectator that there lay, now silent in the distance, a magnificent town with an immense and busy population—a sea-port unequalled, for its extent, in wealth, industry, and enterprise, and which sent forth her daily fleets to every part of the globe, furrowing up the bosom of old Ocean, and, as it were, peopling it far and wide, with a constant succession of hardy tars, and adven tures in the world of commerce, under " Tbat flag that, fora thousand years, Hai braved the battle and the breeze." To those who have before been at sea, there is something peculiarly and almost indescribably delightful in treading the deck, when the shallows and difficulties of a harbour egress MISCELLANEOUS Papers from Sydney to the 12th of February, and from the Cape of Good Hope to the 25th of April, have also arrived. At Sydney flour was 18s. to 21s. per 1001 b., and wheat 4s. 6d. to is. 6d. per bushel. This decline in prices was in conse quence of the late heavy imports. Among the accessions to the new parliament there are none at which the friends of the country and of the Protes tant faith have more reason to rejoice than the return of Sir Richard Vyvyan for Helston, and Mr. Hardy for Bradford. Joseph Hume, Esq., arrived in Dublin on Saturday morn ing, from Liverpool.

TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE.—The following melancholy circumstance occurred on Wednesday, at Mr. Adam Worsley's farm, about two miles from Henley-on-Thames. A. man, having the appearance of a navigator, had been ob served during the afternoon wandering about the neighbour hood, acting very incoherently. Between six and seven o'clock he was seen to break open and enter the premises (the inmates being absent hay-making) by a person passing, who gave the alarm to the parties in the tield, and eight or nine boys and men went to the house, which they found barricaded within. The man, who was then in the house, fired a gun he found on the premises at them, through the window, deliberately, by which one of them named Street, was shot through the heart, and died instantly, and three others were wounded in their faces ; the door was then forced by the others, when he threw a billhook at the first person who entered, which fortunately missed him; but being rather a powerful person, and armed with a pickaxe, he closed and secured him, and with other help, finally con veyed him to the gaol at Wargrave. Of his insanity there can be no doubt. Street was a very industrious man, and has left a wife and five children ; and it is remarkable that he had been on the previous Sunday to Moulsford, a village ten miles distant, to see his sister-in-law, and on his return home on Monday evening, he told his wife he had had a most dreadful dream, and he was sure something would hap pen to him. His wife begged him not to troublo himself about it, but he was so dejected, and the impression was so strong on his mind, that he was unable to eat and drink the next evening, when the event took place.—Staffordshire Gazette. THE CHINESE CRISIS.—The missionary Gutzlaff has sent a letter to his German friends, announcing his appointment as interpreter to the English expedition. He observes that " The most important epoch in the Celestial Empire has now arrived ; the Chinese must either give up all their pretensions to supremacy, or beat the English fleet ! Thus we are, per haps, about to witness the greatest events of the present age. Several learned Chinese have just become converts to the gospel. One is a poet of distinguished talent ; another is an extremely well-informed bookseller in Quangsi, who has tra velled over the whole empire on his business, and is acquainted with every literary work. The latter is, indeed, the most cultivated Chinese with whom I have come in contact. Every good Christian will be overjoyed to hear that these folks with long tufts and little eyes, expound the Epistle to the Romans. Three neophytes are now writing a commentary on the New Testament without any foreign aid." BORROWING.—We have received a letter, says the Boston (America) Post, from a correspondent, in which he speaks in strong terms of reprobation of borrowing in general, and book-borrowing in particular. He talks as a man who has suffered some. He says he lived at one time on the banks of the Mississippi, and gives the following as a specimen of the extent to which the practice is carried :—" Will you lend me your axe ? you won't want to use it, I reckon." " Why, yes, I'll let you take it, seein' you want it." In about two months the owner does want to use his axe, and applies to the borrower of it, but he has not got it ; " the last he seed on't, Mr. Bletcher had it to cut some roots with." The poor owner then goes to Mr. Bletcher—" Stranger, have you seen my axe I lent to Mr. Bent t'other day ?" " Why, yes, I reckon Mr. Bower 's got ;he said he wanted it to chop some firewood, so I lent it to him. You 'd better ask him for it." He goes—" Mornin', Mr. Bower, how 's your wife ?" " Lively, I reckon ; how 's yourn ?" " About right, I reckon ; have you had a hold o' my axe ?" " I reckon I have. I have smashed the handle—it was a powerful weak one ; but you can mend it, and when you've done it I'd like to borrow it again, 'cause I have a smart chance of wood to cut, and want to use it 'specially." NEW PLANE SURFACE PRINTING MACHINE.—This machine is the invention of Count Rosen, and is adapted for all kinds of book-work, and may be worked either by hand or steam power. The one we have seen in operation has been erected at Messrs. Clowes's office. It is capable of doing the work of two common presses, requiring a superin tendent, and two boys to lay on and take off the sheets, and lower and raise the tympan. The simplicity of its construc tion cannot fail to recommend this machine to the favour of the trade, as it may be managed by a common pressman—the making ready not differing much from his usual method. The inking apparatus is very cleverly arranged, the distribut ing rollers having three or four different motions ; the table, on which the type is placed, though remaining stationary when in work, has the elasticity of the wooden press; and the use of tympans enables the workman to dispense with blankets, so as to produce the finest impressions from wood engravings. When in action it makes very little noise, and may be stopped at any moment required. The space occu pied by the machine, exclusive of the turning wheel, is not greater than a press of the same capacity (double crown) requires, but the cost is nearly fourfold. Of course this ma chine is chiefly available where a large number of impressions are required, or greater dispatch than ordinary ; as, for small numbers, too much time would be occupied in making ready, to render it equally economical.—Athenceum.

The last accounts from Hamburgh, (gth July) state that a heavy business is doing there, and at high prices, say from 42s to 44s per quarter, free on bond there. A fair demand has been experienced for duty-paid Wheat, and an advance of is to 2s per quarter, paid on the business done. In rapeseed and linseed nothing of con sequence passing, the former article being neglected, and the latter maintaining full prices. In cakes no alteration. Pones were pressed down below their value ; several buyers appearing holders, asked more money, and in many cases prefer landing to submitting to present pices. To.day's market is met with a very short supply of farmers Wheat, and the advance noted in the above remark s on the proceedings of the week have been fully realized to-day, but it is only on the finest and best fresh Wheat that the demand runs. Secondary qualities do not make any more money than last week. In Oats and Beans no alteration from my last noted prier s. There is scarcely any Barley left, and having several inquiries for grinding qualities, the little offering brings full prices. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 13. (Front the Circular of Messrs. James Scott $ Son.) The imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastways since Tuesday last have been more moderate, but of Flour chiefly from New Orleans, and of Beans chiefly from Egypt and Trieste, they are rather considerable, as per import note below ; and during the past week the demand has continued very steady for every article in the Corn Trade, at fully our last quotations, and in a few instances a small increase has been obtained. The weather has continued very unsettled ;—alternate rain and drying winds,—sadly impeding Hay-making—but though cold, not as yet considered detrimental to the crops of Grain, further than ( postponing Harvest. There is no alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign Ports since Friday last ;—the transactions in Bonded Wheat and Flour have been rather considerable; several cargoes of Baltic Wheat in bond here, and also on the passage, have changed hands recently at 6s 3d to 6s 6d per 70 lb. and some large parcels of United States Flour have been taken on speculation at 23s 6d to 24s 6d per barrel ;—for other articles in bond we can note no change in last week's prices. In consequence of a recurrence of unsettled weather, we have experienced much activity in this day's market, and sales to a pretty fair extent have been made of Wheat for some use at an advance of 2d per 70 lb, and of Flour of 6d per sack and per bar rel ;—and of both those articles in bond very considerable quanti ties have changed hands at an advance of 2d to 3d per 70 lb on the former, and of is to 2s per barrel on the latter, since this day week ;—for other articles there was also an improved demand, but we make little or no alteration in prices.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 15 We have no new feature in our Cotton market since our last eircular, indeed tameness and insipidity are its leading features. Business is still very slack in the country, • and consumers only purchase for their immediate wants, and the sales yesterday were 2500, and to.day 3000 bales, at gradually easier prices, say *d lb since Friday last. Holders do not press their stocks on the market, yet the buyer has a good assortment of Cotton below fair, whilst the better descriptions are not plentiful, and fully maintain their position. The market is almost glutted with red Cotton, a colour very objectionable to most of the purchasers. SALFORD CATTLE MAKKET, JULY 14 The supply of all kinds of stock was very limited, and in conse quence every thing was sold up at rather higher rates. Scarcely a single Beast or Sheep was left in the market. Though we do not alter our quotations, every thing was decidedly higher. Beef 7d to 71d; Mutton 6d to 7d; Lamb 6jd to 7id 14.

DIED At sea, on his passage from St. Domingo to Liverpool, HENRY RIPLEY, Esq. Mr. Ripley left St. Domingo on 20th March last, on board the Eliza Wylie, of Kincardine, for this port. On the 3rd May, the Kate, bound to Greenock, struck against the wreck of a vessel, bottom up, with " Kincardine" on her stern, which at the time was supposed to be the Eliza Wylie, and which has since been too fatally confirmed by the circumstance of that unfortunate vessel's longboat having been picked up at sea on the 16th June, by the Columbia, and carried into Cork. No doubt, therefore, can now exist of the fate of the unfortunate vessel and all on board.
