LITERARY NOTICES. Dublin University Magazine. February, 183 S. in this number we have several articles of very great merit, and some which must exercise considerable influ ence over public opinion, especially in Ireland. " Lord Malgrave's Defence" in the House of Lords is examined with great candour and ability. The flimsy sophistries of the- - O'Connell viceroy are handled with a degree of severity which will not, soon be forgotten. The statisti cal details of the state of crime in Ireland, which are furnished in this masterly paper. triumphantly establish the charges brought forward by the Earl of Roden against the government. We venture to say that it is impossible for any man, who is a sincere and unpreju diced inquirer after . truth, to. peruse .the .statements brought forward in this article, and afterwards to acknow ledge his belief in the boasted "tranquillity of Ireland." The tale of " Darby Sykes" affords a capital illUstration of some of the tricks resorted , to at Irish eleetions.— The Boomerang and its Vagaries" will: furnish mate rials for a leading article in the columns of the Liverpool Mercury. The reviews of the " Life and Letters of Charles Lamb" and of " Keightley's History of Eng-, Land" are ably executed.' The elaborate article on " National Education" merits the most serious atten tion. It abounds with sound reasoning and powerful appeals 'to facts. " The Confessions of Harry Lorre quer" continue to sustain the , interest of the reader. "The Government. the Landlords, and the ' Popular Party' in Ireland," is an excellent paper, containing a thorough exposition of the errors committed by the Whiff administration in the government of the sister island.' " Fardarougha, the Miser," is concluded in the -pre s ent number. The winding-up of this tale is not so inter esting as we expected it might be. The National Magazine, and Monthly Critic. Feb ruary, 1838. The extremely diversified nature of the contents of this magazine, its pleasant fictions, its rich poetry, its amusing essays, its scientific articles, and its judicious critiques, continue to render it one of the most popular of our periodical publications. Its intrinsic merits are still further enhanced by the entire absence of politics from its columns. Its character is thus essentially and exclusively literary.. This circumstance has already rendered the National Magaiine a general favourite. The• contents of the present, number are as varied and clever as those of the preceding.' The review of Combe's phrenological works is a masterly exposure of the falla cies and contradictions of the absurd systems of the leading philosophers of the bumpological school. We shall probably extract the greater part of this article in oar next publication. It will form a conclusive answer to Mr. Rumball's arguments on the subject. " The Ab bey Grange; a Tradition of Yorkshire and Lancashire," is written with spirit. " Scraps from my Note Book in, Colombia" contain some very interesting details. "A. Glance at the Authors of the Middle Ages" has much truth and wisdom. The translations which it contains are well executed. " Leopold Von Lichenstein" is a very - pretty and pleasing tale. The " Retrospective Review" takes cognizance this month of Sir Philip Sydney's Defence of Poesy. The reviews, scientific and theatrical notices, &c., in this magazine, are marked by sound judgment and a refined taste. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine. February, 1838. It is some time since we have had the pleasure of re ceiving this magazine, which, apart from its politics, (to which we are diametrically opposed,) most be pronounced one of the most clever and interesting of our periodi cals. The spirit with which it is conducted has rendered it deservedly popular. It is scarcely necessary to add that its cheapness is unparalleled. The number before us contains some very severe strictures on the ministerial policy in reference to Canada, against the political ten dency of which we must take exception. " The Lon don Peripatetic, or Sketches about Town," is character ized by great felicity of style and obserVation. The re view of Nimroci's "Book of British Field Sports" is a capital analysis of that interesting work. " The Trial of the Glasgow Cotton Spinners" contains much sound and rational advice, which is more than neutralised by the advocicy of -the political nostrum of Jeremy Ben " Universal Suffrage; Equal Election Dis tricts, on the Basis of Population; Vote by Ballot; Annual Parliaments; No Property Qualification; Paid Members . of Parliament." This absurd prescription is seriously recommended as a cure for all our national evils. The Somnambulist" will be perused with in tense interest. The extended review of " Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scott" is hypercritical and captious in the extreme. The paper on " The Decline of the- Dra ma" contains some valuable suggestions. The remarks on the " Affair of the Vixen" are deserving of a careful perusal, especially the concluding observations on the possibility of greatly extending our commerce among savage or uncivilised communities. Parbury's Oriental Herald, and Colonial Intelligencer. February, 1838. This is the second number of a journal, the object of which is, to present a faithful digest of such information as must be considered generally - interesting, from the British - Indian presidences and the eastern nations. We perceive that the plan of publication is altered. It was originally intended to publish this magazine. every fort night. Owing, to the operation of. the stamp act this has been abandoned, and the work is announced for publica tion every month. Of the general arrangement of this periodical we had occasion, last month, to express a fa vourable opinion. In the present number. there is an immense mass of. truly useful and interesting informa tion respecting our oriental colonies. " Ten-Minutes' Advice to the Outward-Bound" contains ample direc tionslor a lady's outfit to India. " Japan, as a Field for British Commerce," is a very valuable paper. Its sta tistical details are most of them new to us. The ex.: 'tracts On the recent instances of " Infringement of Copyright in India" ought to engage the attention of the legislature. Some provision of an adequate nature ought to be made against the sale in India of unautho rised editions of works from the press of. Great Britain. The. miscellaneous intelligence in the Oriental Herald is exceedingly copious. The Religious History of Man. London : Morison. 1838. This is a work of an extraordinary character, dis playing deep research, patient investigation, critical acumen, and truly philosophical views. It is pervaded throughout by a high tone of Christian feeling, which throws a charm over every page. We cannot, within the limits allotted to us, enter into any thing like a minute analysis of its contents, the startling novelty of which will not fail to attract very general attention.. The scope of the work may be inferred from the following introduction : " In the following pages, the nature of the instruction, in Divine things, given to mankind, at various periods, is enquired into; and the influence of that instruction, on their religious customs and opinions, traced. "Those opinions have been so various, and the modes of wor ship so multiform, that it would be hopeless to attempt such an enquiry within the limits of the present volume,—were it to be accompanied by an analysis, or even an outline, of each system of faith, or form of devotion, which has bad its day, of adoption and of rejection in the world. " Amidst that variety, however, an intercommunity of thought has been observed, which can he accounted for by none of the ordinary causes that regulate human affairs. Much learning, often with eminent success, has been employed in tracing that coincidence; but such researches have, generally, been directed to insulated parts of the subject, incidentally arising out of other enquiries, and have rested their proofs on reasonings which could be appreciated by the practised philologist alone. "To account for these coincidences, on general principles, is the main object of th e p resen t work. That object is sought for, not by instituting comparisons between the various theological and mythological economies, and tracing them back to some remote period; but by examining, in the first place, the early revelations made to man, and the mode of instruction by which ' these revelations were illustrated. The First Principles, so ob tained, are then applied to the several great branches into which the history of religion and superstition naturally divides itself; and the proof of their correctness rests ; not merely on their ac counting for occasional resemblances, but on the elucidations they afford of the great and leading features of the systems. "As the subject " toucheth AL L NITZN," the utmost pains have been taken to divest it of abstruse diticussion, and to advance no nothing but what any reader of the Bible, in his owu language, may judge of and investigate. At the same time, if the key given be the true one, it opens up a rich field of research to the philologist, and aids the biblical student in the most important and interesting enquiry to which his atttention can be riirected. "It is scarcely necessary, after this, to add, that the infallibility and certainty of the Bible, on every subject, is the basis' 013 whit:lithe whole discussion rests." The subjects discussed in this truly original volume are thus arranged :-1. The Creation; 2. Scripture Geology; 3 The First Man; 4. Language; 5. Hiero glyphics; 6. The Cherubim; 7. The Firmament; 8. Recapitulation; 9. The Perfect in their Generation; 10. The Flood ; 1 - 1. The One Lip and the Heavenly Tower; . 12. Path of the Just; 13. The Shining Light; 14. The Branch ; 15. The Double; 16. The Burning Bush ; 17. The Glory • 18. Stars in their Courses ; 19. The Knowledge o f 'Witty Inventions; 20. Way of the Heathen ; 21. Nimrod; 22. Astrology ; 23. Baal— Coracles; 24. Gods; 25. Idols; 26. Th e Mysteries ; 27. The, Panth eon . ; 28.. The - Messiah ; 29: A n ti c h r i st ; 30: The Tithes of Refreshing ; 31. The Scripture's., All these topics are handled with consummate ability. To the philological student, the author's spepilutions will. throw open a wide field o f interesting inqUiry, and, to the practical christian, the whole will prove a source of much 'spiritual edification. It is impossible for any one. to rise from its perusal an infidel or a Socinian. Its tendency will be to stimulate fnzther inquiry into the the wonderful mysteries of thelrdivine revelation—an inquiry with which there can be none of equal moment, and in comparison with which the childish theories of in fidel geologists and other falsephilosopherssink. intoutter insignificance. The author has done great service to the cause of true religion by the publication of this volume. Tn - the young and enthusiastic, it will prove an excellent • ccitectiye against incipient scepticisni. .t.. ..Wa nhava o nly t o a dd th at t he talented author is a ' Liverpool gentleman. We hope this will not prove his last contribution to the sacred. literature of his country. Notes of a Journey through Canada, the United States of America, and the West Indies. Ur James Lof4an, Esq., Advocate. Edinburgh : Fraser and Co. k33' These notevontain an account of the author's travels and voyagesiver a space of upwards of 20,000 accomplished within the short period of thirteen months, and at an expense of only £350! Mr. Logan com mences with a journal of the voyage from Greenock to Quebec. and then proceeds to describe his visit to Mon treal, Upper Canada, the State of Michigan, the Lakes, tee Western States, the Eastern and Middle States, the Southern States, the Island of Cuba, and Jamaica, con- . eluding with an account of his passage to England. Of course, he did not accomplish so long a journey •without, meeting with his share - of incidents, which are pleasant ly and graphically related. The work contains many . valuable practical hints to the emigrant, and several amusing and •unprejudiced sketches :of society in the various places which he - visited. This•being one of the most recent works which treats of the Canadas, it will be perused with considerable interest. A map of the route pursued by the author is prefixed to the volume. Think ! London: C. 'Mitchell. This little work contains much valuable instruction and suitable admonition. The preface states that it was written by a plain, self-instructed invalid, for the benefit of those who never rightly THINK. We trust that the object of its publication may be fully realised in leading the thoughtless to prepare for eternity, and by inducing in its readers a habit ofself-examination. CON7'EMPORARY PRESS. DISTR ESS OF THE SPITALFIELDS' WEAVERS. (From the Morning Herald.) Let the advocates of free trade, and the supporters of the New Poor Law, turn to the details of the misery . which now rages in Spitalfields !: The country, in which such a fate as that which has overwhelmed the patient and untiring silk-weavers of London is suffered to con tinue unrelieved, can have no pretension to be regarded .as civilised—can have no pretension, at all events, to be regarded as Christian. Hundreds of the poor Spitalfields weavers work six teen, eighteen, and even twenty hours a day, not except ing Sunday ; and the average amount of their wages, after deducting rent and fire, is twopence-halfpenny a , day—and threepence on Sunday ! What says the Bishop of Norwich to a system which, in order to " elevate the moral condition" of the poor, compels the pour to work sixteen hours on Sundays ? What say Joseph Hume and the Malthusian econo mists to a system which allotslwopence.balfpenny as the reward of sixteen hours of " honest industry ?" IVill Joseph tell us, what " economy" can do for men, whom his blessed system robs and oppresses so grossly? Will .Joseph tell us what are " the resources" upon which he would, so benevolently, throw the recipients of twopence halfpenny a-day ? The sufferings - of the poor Spitalfields weavers would surpass belief, if the reality of these sufferings could not be proved-at any moment ! These unhappy men have yet received no relief from the committee which has pounced, F o unwarrantably, upon the funds subscribed for their relief at the opera ball last year. Whether they ever shall receive the benefit of these funds, would seem to be doubtful. Let our readers turn to the heart-rendinc , statements of the poor Spitalfields victims of free trade—let them mark the gentleness with which these miserable men en dure their lot; and contrast with the treatment awarded to brawling Irish agitators, and Canadian rebels, the treatment which starving Englishmen who refrain from violations of the law receive. The Irish agitators rule 'the government; whilst the Canadian rebels send their 'paid emissary to beard both houses of parliament with impudent and dishonest statements bearing upon fanci ful grievances. The starving English artisans are not 'listened to by the legislature. They are handed over to the Malthusians, and told, in the absence of employthent, to depend " on their own resources." O'CONNELL AND THE IRISH POOR LAW BILL. ( From the Morning Herald.) In the House of Commons, on Monday night, Mr. O'Connell enjoyed the solitary distinction of opposing the introduction of poor laws into lieland. His statements on the subject were curious : " Ile did not agree to a poor law further than affording re lief to the sick, the wounded, and hurt—those destitute per sons who, suffering from casualty, or present illness, could not he tempted to augment their numbers by the prospect of re lief. To that extent, and that extent only, he should go for a poor law." But why should Mr. O'Connell sanction the principle of relief to " the sick,: wounded, and hurt"—.while he would deny relief to the able-bodied labourer who may be unable to find employment? If the one class be not entitled to parochial assistance, the other class is not ! The claims upon society, of the men who cannot find work, are, at least, equally strong with the claims of the men who cannot perform work. •Nay, as the destitution of 'able-bodied men, from whom employment is with held, may entail upon society consequences more full of peril than any consequencea that, can f 10.17 from the des titution of the sick and. aged, a• sense of social danger might, surely, indicate the necessity of putting the able bodied victims of involuntary idleness, at least, upon a level with the victims of disease ! But there is a risk, according to Mr. O'Connell, that the .111)1e-bodied destitute may,- under the stimulus of a parochial guarantee against starvation, " augment their numbers" too rapidly ! But surely such a guarantke is not necessary to secure an increase of population. The hereditary bondsmen" have contrived to make them- Selves " seven millions" without such a•guarantee; and the longer such a guarantee shall be withheld, the more rapidly: will " the bondsmen" multiply ! Under the system, so s li g h t a taste d oes t h e present brutalising Irish peasant exhibit for the appliances of civilisation, that he will marry and rear children, without the slight est provision for maintaining his wife and children in that degree of comfort which the peasantry of other countries deem necessary. An honest system of poor laws must give a new value to the Irish peasant's la bour—must give the labouter himself a social value which he does not now possess —and must, by copse quence, exalt his estimate o f th e d egree o f comfort in dispensable to his wife and children. .The result of this process must, in the nature of things, be a less rapid in crease of population in Ireland! But Mr. O'Connell has " Convinced himself that a poor country was never yet bene fitted by a poor law—he has convinced himself that Ireland is too poor for a poor law." What a shuffling antithesis-monger is this learned gentleman! At one time he deals in nothing but flourishes about the riches of Ireland ! He prates ahout her. " green fields and fertile valleys"—her matchless rivers and un equalled harbours. At another time, he may be found declaring, that Ireland is "rich in labour," as well as in all the best feelings of our nature ! Yet again, may this babbler be found declaring, as he did on Monday night, that " Ireland is too poor for a'poor law!" A poor law is necessary for Ireland, in order to bring Ireland's wealth " in labour" to bear upon Ireland's wealth in " green fields and fertile valleys" —upon Ire land's wealth in rivers and harbours! Why is Ireland the "poor" Ireland that O'Connell occasionally de scribes—excepting that the peasantry of Ireland have no portion in the natural wealth of the soil which gives them birth ? An honest poor law will give them such a portion. An honest poor law will give them a qualified and limited property in the land which they cultivate, and in all the wealth which they may create. An honest poor law will elevate the Irish peasant above that fright ful state of-vassalage in which be holds life itself at the pleasure of his landlord—and in which, by consequence; his landlord permits him to retain, of the fruits of his toil, the smallest pittance that can-, by possibility, suffice for the maintenance of animal life. Every social sys tem, however, which allows little to the maintenance . of animal life, ministers largely to the growth of the ani mal passions. The want of an honest system of poor laws in Ireland not only causes the poverty of Ireland, but generates in Ireland that spirit of social discor d which, in its manifestations, converts one of the fairest regions of the earth into a likeness of Pandemonium I " Ireland is.too poor for a system of poor laws." In deed ! But, if poor laws can do no good to Ireland, will Mr. O'Connell explain in what way a repeal of tithes is to benefit the Irish poor? The tithes, if diverted from their present destination, will go to the Irish landlords,- not to the Irish peasantry ; -but poor laws- of an- honest description will secure the means of existence to the pea santry at the expense of the class which has hitherto battened upon rack-rents. ! Mr. O'Connell, besides, is given at tim es t o b a bbl e about,the mischiefa of absenteeism. • He would tax ab sentees! He would detain some portion of their wealth in Ireland! An honest poor law will detain in Ireland larger portion of Ireland's natural wealth —and detain it in a more effective manner than any tax on absentees ever will! t I rtnav be true, perhaps, that nothing whi c h suc h a man as Mr. O'Connell may say, is worthy of the noti ce Which we have now bestowed upon his platitudes about poor laws. We 'are anxious, however, to,note how com pletely Mr. O'Connell is the tool of the ambitious Ca tholic middle classes—how fervently he labours to pull down the Protestant church and aristocracy —and how, with still greater f e rvour, perhaps, he labou rs t o k eep the Catholic peasantry in a state of debasement. The Catholic middle classes would be sure to gain, by Mr. O'Connell's success, in both directions ! PERTH GAOI, BaoxEN.—Late on Tuesday night, or early on Wednesday morning. this gaol was broken, and nine prisoners escaped. Some of them were confined on charges of a very serious nature.—Scotch Paper. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON I'iIYSIOLOGY, On Saturday evening Dr. Epps delivered his second lecture. I The ribs arc attached to the spine, from which they pass oh. liquelv round, and rouru back to the breastbone, to which they al , • joined. The front portions a the ribs are c om p ose d o f gr i st l e . a ! Within the ribs are situated the heart and chest. The chest 1 contains our lungs and som6 of the most important blood-vessels. I In breathing we are obliged to raise the chest, in order to till the lungs; hence it was necessary so to construct the ribs as to render them capable of expanding; and by no other than this oblique formation of the ribs could this have been so effectually done. Thus, by raising up our ribs, we at once elevate our chest. The ribs are constructed round for the same reason as the. skull to shield them as much as possible from the effects of external injuries. It is astonishing what blows prize-fighters I will endure upop their ribs without any ill consequences. This I teaches us how we may strengthen our limbs by proper exec else, so as to enable them to endure extreme hardships. There are twelve ribs on each side, or rather twelve pair of ribs. There is an opinion commonly entertained, that women have one more rib than men. This compliment to the ladies is not, however, warranted by anatomy. The notion arose out of the statement in the Bible, that woman was made out of the rib of a man. A curious examination. of this passage of Scripture occurs in the Anthropological Magazine, by which it would appear, that there is a mistake in its translation, the Hebrew word (tsalang) Iran - slated rib, not being so translated in any of the six other instan ces in which it is used in the Scriptures. There is a groove in I.the inside of the rib to enable the blood-vessels to es c a p e injury, by passing along them. In fact, throughout the body, when ever a brood.e.eesel is exposed to any injury, the Creator has devised sinne means far its protection. We find that the back parts of our body are much better protected than the front ones. It is essential for the enjoyment of health, that the ribs should .have a free motion. At least fifteen out of twenty of the upper classes or females have deformed spines, in consequence of the fashionable treatment which they undergo to reduce the size of their waists. A young lady, tightly laced, sits down on her music-stool, without any support to her back. She is told by her fund mamma, that unless she becomes a g ood musician she will never get a good husband. The young la dy remains at the piano four or six hours a day, and in acquiring execution stret ehes her hands along the keys of the piano on either side, during which time her spine, being tightly embraced by the stays, will not bend in its natural manner, so that the spine is put out of its place. The majority of deformed spines is attributable to sitting at pianos, or at the drawing-desk, by which the body is, by such occupations, withdrawn from its natural position. That portion of the human figure which ladies make the narrowest, ought to be the broadest. The consequence of tight lacing is much suffering. The medical practitioner advises change of air, and a thousand other remedies, but does not strike at the root of the evil. Tight lacing is a good thing for.the doctors; they glory in it, for if it were not for the folly of other people, they would have little or nothing to do. No patient should allow a medical man to prescribe a single article of medicine without explaining why he does so. If a medical man cannot do this, he is not tit to practise: It may appeat strange, on a first view, that there is no apparent protec!ion for our stomach and the parts below the chest. But suppose the Creator had contrived our ribs to our hips. In that case we could not bend, nor could we, without serious inconvenience, as the first lamp-post would testify, tuck into us the numerous good things which a public dinner affords. The Creator has wonderfully provided for the necessities of each part of the body. The protector of the sto mach is entrusted to our eyes antrour hands. The hands are capable of describing a circle around the front of our licitly, and thus are readily enabled to shield Rhone injuries. The spine tits like a wedge between the bones of thelip. These hipbones spread out like wings, and bear the whole of the upper portion of the body. The thigh bones fit into each side of these hips. They are of a peculiar structure, and exquisitely beauti ful. There is a round ball fitting into a hollow. We call these portions of the human mechanism, joints, and the parts which rub against each other, articulating surface s . Th e thi g h b one does riot lit into the hollow in au erect position, but a por tion of the hove juts out sideways into the hollow. By this means our legs are placed further asunder, and we are enabled to stand erect with less difficulty. There are twoprotuberances at the knee joint, one lower than the other. Women's legs ap proach nearer than men's, but elf persons legs have a tendency to approximate; and in order to counteract this the inner protuberance is lower than the outer, so that by compression against a correspondine protuberance in the leg. The advan tages of the compound ball joint to connect the thigh to the hip are sufficiently obvious : with any other description, the whole of our body must turn with the leg. The joint of the knee is what is termed a hinge joint, not permitting the leg to move round as the hip joint, but merely backwards and forwards. It :is difficult to separate the knee joints, they are so tightlybound together by ligaments. Our legs are Composed of two bones, the tuner of which farms the inner ancle, and the outer the outer ancle. The whole body is fastener' down by one bone into the foot, in such a firm manner that it is impossible for a person to dislocate it without an extraoidinary degree of violence. There is an arch firmed beneath the foot by means of hones, for the purpose of enabling us to walk with ease. This arch is the most perfect one with which we are acquainted, so much so that it was considered by Michael Angelo that the first idea of an arch was derived from the human foot. T h e greater the pres sure upon the foot the greater is its power of resisting it. The shoulder blade is attached to the body by flesh only, in order that it may have a perfect power of motion, which it could not have if jointed as the other limbs. Hence the arm is so easily discolated. It is curious that drunken persons very seldom injure themselves; they are sensible persons so far ; they fall upon the centre of gravity without ever attempting to save themselves. They sink to the earth with such a fraternal love that there is no harm done. There is a common notion that a drunken man has a certain protection over him, but the real fact is. the spirit has overcome the sense of motion. is a sober person falls he immediately puts out his arms to save himself, and, if the fall is from any height, his arms are dislocated. The elbow bone has a very peculiar shape. Its motion is merely upwards and downwards, like a hinge; but there are two bones in the fore arm, and the second has a rotatory motion. The bones of the hand are fastened to the latter. There are an immense number of bones in the hand. By the hand being' _concave in the inside we are easily enabled to seize anything. 'There are a great number of advantages in the concavity of the outside of the hand.- Indeed the hand is one of the most beautiful of the works of the creation. If a workman wishes his machinery to work easily, and with out any grating noise, he. oils the different parts which come into contact with each other. 'The Creatur has provided the different joints of the body with an unction by which their action is rendered easy. Thus we always find in.the knee pans a fluid which is for the purpose of lubricating or oiling the knee joints; and it is singular that we are unable to invent anything like this lubricating liquor which the Almighty has provided. Every joint of. • the human body which moves is supplied with bags or glands which secrete altind of oily, fat, mucilaginou s substance, which is like joining oil with mucillage. This is for the purpose of anointing the joints ; and we find that persons who live too well get the gout—large knees, &e. form unnatural and diseased secretion s of this substance. When we walk, the very action of walking .presses upon these glands, and the con sequence is, that the lucubrating liquor is squeezed nut as we want it. When. persons walk too far there is•a deficiency in the supply, and it is very absurd to walk too far, as it brings on the rheumatism. If. again, we do not take a proper degree of exercise, we must he punished. flo"rever benevolent, however pious a person may be, if lie uses his joints too much he will be punished in his joints; neither his goodness nor his piety will keep off the punishment. Our happiness is best secured by following the laws which the Creator has laid down for the guidance of man, as exemplified by every day's experience. Every joint is covered with a smooth surface, so as to enable it to work freely, like the well polished surface of a machine. ELECTION COMMITTEES. In the House of Commons on Tuesday, there were three bal• lots for election committees, viz., for the county of Roxburgh, and for the boroughs of Ipswich and Salford. ROXI3IIIGII ELECTION. In this case the Hon. F. Scott is the pettioner, against the return of Mr. Elliott. The petition states that at on of the polling places, at the town of Hawick, " riots of the most alarm ing, tumultuous, and violent description took place," by means of which "the electors in the interest of the petitioner were greatly interrupted; insulted, and assaulted," and others who would have voted for him, were in consequence of the said riots, deterred and prevented from so doing; and others "were influ enced by fear, threats, and violence to vote for the said John Edmund Elliot, in violation of the freedom of election, and of the rights of electors," that these riots were countenanced by :the partisans and friends of Mr. Elliot, and by divers persons in his interest, for the purpose of intimidating and preventing the electors from supporting and voting for the petitioner, ; and on the two days of polling, as well as the day preceding, a mob, consisting of many persons who had no right to vote, publicly t f or li s a i w n i( t petitioner's int er est were vio lently r p a a g r e a s d ; ed th t a b t e m s a i n re y et e s iec o Committi ng , assau lt s and out rages; assaulted and beaten, stripped of their clothing, and put in (linger of their lives; that others were carried to the river Slitrig, which runs through the town, and thrown in; that by authority of her Majesty's advocate for Scotland, the responsi bility of keeping the peace during the election devolved upon the magistrates of the town, who greatly misconducted them selves in the discharge of their duty, by not affording sufficient protection to the voters in the interest of the petitioner; that in the course of the first day's polling, on account of the riotous proceedings which had already taken place, the sheriffs substitute declared at the polling booth the adjournment of the poll for two hours; nevertheless, that he, after a short interval, allowed the polling again to go on, which was an illegal act; and that Mr. Elliott was, "by himself and his agents, guilty of divers acts of bribery and corruption, in order to corrupt or procure, -and did by himself; and his agents, friends, managers, and others on his behalf, by gifts, presents, money, rewards, and promises, agreements and securities for money, gifts, &c., and by threats and intimidations, undue influence, and other corrupt, illegal, and improper practices, procure divers persons, having votes, to give their votes to him, and to forbear giving their voles to the petitioner." The prayer is, that the election may be declared null and void. IPSWICH ELECTION. This petition is at the instance of certain electors, praying that Henry Tuffnell, Esq., may be declared not duly elected, and that Fitzroy Kelly, Esq., inay be declared duly elected. The chief allegations in the petition are, that many persons, voting for Mr. Tuffnell, were not qualified (th ere b e i ng a ma jority of two only over Mr. Kelly at the close of th e po ll , the numbers being, for.Mr,: : ,Ttiffnell 595, for Mr. K e ll y 5930 that others were ".admitted to vote for him who had asked, re ce i ve d , and taken money, or other reward, by, way of girt, loan, or other device ;".- that other electors had been prevented from giving their votes to Mr. Kelly, having been improperly and illegally excluded from voting by the returning officer ; and that Mr. TulTnell was, " by himself, his friends, agents and managers, on his behalf, guilty of acts of notorious bribery, corruption, and treating at the said election." SALFORD ELECTION. In this rase the petition was from the unsuccessful candidate, with several electors, against the return of ,Mr. Brotherton, and in favour of the return of Mr. Garnett (one of the petitioners,) alleging that many votes given to the former gentleman were bad, and ought to be struck off the poll. There are likewise in the petition allegations of briber) and corruption on the part of Mr. Brotherton himself, or his agents, friends, and manag ers , in order to induce and procure the electors of said borough to give their votes to him, and to forbear to give them to-Mr. Garnett." It is moreover alleged " that after the taste of the writ, Mr. Brotherton, by himself, his agents, friends, and others, (lid give meat, drink, entertainment, and provision, and make promises, agreements, and engagements to give and allow the electors money, meat. drink, &c., in order to be elected." The petition seeks, either to have the election declared null and void, or that the return may be amended " by substituting the name of Wiiliam Garnett fur that of Joseph Brotherton." THE AUTHOR OF JUNIUS'S LETTERS.—On Saturday began the sale of the late Sir Philip Francis's books, at Mr. Evans's Pall-mall, rendered remarkable in consequence of various writers having argued that Sir P. Francis was the renowned " Junius." Many of the books brought good prices, in con sequence of there being sonic of Sir Philip's M.S. notes in them, they showing, at least, particularly, in marks in Black stone's Commentaries, that he and' Junius had marked the like passages. His additions ufJunins remain to be disposed of. g: 4 -Dipping Enteittcnr?. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6.—Wind E, ARRIVAD.—Kenn Leeds, from.

We have had an exceeding large show of Beasts at market to-day, the greatest we have experienced for several weeks. During the past fortnight the butchering businesi has been very inactive, which has made buyers very careful of laying in any stock, but from the great increase in the supplies this week, Beef has been a shade less in price, and many country buyers being present, it has been rather a brisk market. The supply of Sheep has also been moderately large for the season of the year, but We cannot note any alteration in price from our last week's quotations. Good Beef sold readily at from 5d to Sid ; middling and ordinary quality, 44d per lb. Large Wether Sheep sold without difficulty at 7d per lb ; smaller size, 6 d ; inferior quality and Ewes, 6d to 64d. Notwithstanding the market has been considered a brisk one, from the great increase in number, there have been a few of both Beasts and Sheep left unsold at the close of it. Number of Beasts at market, 1520 ; Sheep, 3857. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MA ET. Fan. 8. The weather has assumed a mild and vernal appearance and charac ter,which are quite refreshing after the intense and distressing severity to which we have been subject for the last three weeks. The thaw as rapid and complete ;—nevertheless fully a week must elapse before the internal means of transit by canal will be opened out.,—We have been very quiet in the Butter market for the last few days, but lower rates have not been very generally submitted to; neither, indeed, are they soon anticipated, at least to any important extent. We think there is a better feeling amongst holders of Pickled Bulter.—The stock of :barreled Provisions is in a few hands, and prices likely to be supported throughout the season .—Considerable activity is noti c e a bl e in Bacon, and the supply at market inconsiderable.—Hams and Lard both scarce and very saleable. LONDON CORN EXHANGE. FEB. 7. Since Monday a few vessels laden with Grain have arrived, and as a rapid thaw commenced during the night, we may hope that business will soon resume its -usual course. .At to-day's market there was a very thin attendance of buyers, and the transactions in every descrip tion of Grain were of a very limited character. ; pri, es, however, have undergone no alteration. LONDON COLONIAL MARKET, FEB. 6. SUGAR.—This afternoon there was little activity in the market which may chiefly be attributed to the navigation : both grocers' and refiners purchasing sparingly, and the purchases, including the public sales, amount to only 550 hluls and tees ; but prices remain very firm, and, in „some instances, a slight advance was .obtained on Friday's rates for brown descriptions. 133 'Aids, 8 tees Barbadoes, at public sale, went at fully former rates, middling 64s to 64s 6d, good 65s to 665, fine 66s 6d to 67s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—The state of the navigation still occasions a dull market for all descriptions. MOLASSES.—West Indies continues on the decline ; the purchases since our last have been 220 puns: at a reduction on former rates of Is, 3ls to 32s acceptcid for middling and good Demerara, and 29s for fair Berbice. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind Ceylon and British Plantation was much wanted privately, but busi ness to any extent was prevented by the small quantity at market the few sales effected were at rather stiffer prices.

There has been a pretty - regular demand since our last. The sales yesterdv were 3,000 bags, and •to-day they are 2,50 j. The market has closed quietly. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 6. We may almost repeat our last Circular of the 30th ult. on tha Leven- Mg the frost recurred, and has continued to this day with'incre 4 ased severity, without any snow, the slight covering of which disappeared by the thaW of the 29th ult. of course the impediments to our com munication with the country by water. are more than ever i ncrease d -.—the winds have also continued easterly, but the imports by the steam ships have been to. a fair ext e nt, particularly of Flour and Oatmeal ; and the demand for every article in the Corn Trade heing restricted to immediate wants, sales have been very trivial at barely the - prices last quoted. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign ports since Friday, is an increase of is 6d per quarter on Pease ;—scone few sales have been made of bonded Gram and Flour, hut no altera tion in prices can be noted, except on extra super6ne.llamburgh Flour some small - sales Of which have been made at Is per baliel higher. At this day's market there was but a thin attendance, arid with the pros pect of a continuance of frost. , the demand was very limWd, at a' de cline of id e 20 per 701hs on Wheat, id 0 , 1 d per 4:Abs.i.orilDats. about Is per quarter on Malt, Barley, Beans and Pease, 60 peilkOlbs on Oat meal, and is per 280 lbs on Flour; the liner dtscriptiMs of British Wheat and Flour a rc held at our last quotations. • WHEAT, tr 70% it INDIAN CORN, 47 490%. - English.
