*Warp. THE OUTCAST. DOR THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Cold blows the blast, though the summer is nigh ; Cold gleam the stars, and all pale as in tears; But colder this heart in my bosom doth lie, — This heart that should be in the spring of its years. Dark sets the storm over wild wood and field, The herds to their wind-shaken solitude flee; But darker the woes in my bosom concealed, And wilder the fortune that waits upon me ! Sad as a wing-broken bird from its nest, I wander the night, and no shelter I see; But the chill pining heart of the bird shall find rest, And sweet is the rest GOD will yet grant to me. CHARLES SWAIN. OUR OLD LOVE. (For the Liverpool Standard. The mere memory of an old love, is sweeter than a new one." — New Monthly Magazine. The mere memory of an old love, so sacred, sad ; yet true 'Tis sweeter far than present joys, of one that is but new, With hallow'd feelings for the past, for joys for ever fled, We think and speak of her though false, as friends do of . . their dead; No harshness now, nor bitterness, pervade our soothed breast, But calm, and tranquil as the sea, when storms have sunk to rest, We ponder o'er the scenes of old, and think that all the blame - Should not be borne by her alone,—peace rest upon her name! We call to mind her face and form, so graceful, and so fair, Her winning smiles, her sun-lit eyes, her rich luxuriant hair ; Her polish'd brow, like marble white, unfurrow'd then by care, The very seat, and throne of truth, seem'd fix'd for ever there ; So passing strange, that she'd be false, to us it now cloth seem, But as some horrid phantasy, some sleep-disturbing dream. And though the truth so fearfully, strikes home upon our heart, Yet the memory of our old love, from thence can ne'er depart. But the memory of an old love, confiding, firm, and true, Through evil and through good report, can love that is but new, Aught equal this ?—its joys so pure, now temper'd down by time, As silver from its drossy ores, new trials but refine ; Its luserous brightness, shineth most, in darkness and in gloom. Its light continueth here on earth, till bid within the tomb. Oh! this old true love, abideth, when all has fled beside, It is a tree of goodly growth, with branches spreading wide; It flourishes luxuriantly, it knows of no decay, Alike unmoved by winter's storms, or summer's scorching ray ; The memory of its former days, it cherishes, and well, Upon each scene of early love, it oft delights to dwell; The day, the hour, the very spot, it readily can name, Yes, 'twas a shaded, sweet, old-fashioned English lane, With daisies, and with violets its banks were thickly spread, And the spreading ash, its branches cast, a cooling shade o'erhead, While the hawthorn and the woodbine shed a sweet perfume around, Oh ! 'tis only in our favor'd isle, such lovely spots are found. There first, with few and falt'ring words was timidly confess'd, _ The ardent love, long felt before, but ne'er durst be express'd. Extatic happy moment ! how replete with heavenly bliss, When the first pledge of mutual love, is sealed with the kiss, Which angels might have envied then, so pure from earth's alloy, Yes, the memory of that happy time, is cherish'd long with joy ; The beauty and the loveliness of person and of mind, Which then entranc'd our youthful gaze, continues still combin'd— Andmany years since then have fled, of mingled good and ill, Our old true love abideth yet, unchang'd, unalter'd still. S. K. December 21st, 1842. TO JEANNE, ON THE TWENTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF HER BIRTHDAY, 17TH DECEMBER, 1842. (For the Liverpool Standard.) When twenty summer suns had o'er thee roll'd, I hail'd with joy thy twentieth natal day, Since then, Heav'n's signs, another year have told, And one more summer's sun bath pass'd away ; And 'neath its beams, full many a peerless rose, Have op'd their full blown blossoms to the eye, Each emulous its beauties to disclose, And woo, with looks of love, the glowing sky. Jennie ! the rose that makes my heart sae glad, Needs not the rays of summer's sun to bloom, For in its own innate luxuriance clad, It bla's fu' sweet, in sunshine and in storm. And not a rose that ever drank the dew In Sharon's vale, might with this one aspire To fill my soul with raptures ever new, Or breathe through it a holier desire. Then dearest Jennie ! I'll for aye remember The rose that blooms sae fair in dark December. lAGO. THE CORN LAWS AND MARRIAGE. (For the Liverpool Standard.) I'm a Corn-law opponent, an unwedded virgin, And my motive on this score for being so urging, Is the small chance apparent of e'er being wed , And all on account of the high price of bread ; Making young men their wishes averse to disclose — At any offer we'll snap—but there's none to propose : Every male is so backward, and apt to declare, That to take a wife now 's a most serious affair ! And thus I come forth as a staunch corn-law leaguer, To encourage the beaux, and to make them more eager, For wedlock must flourish, and ladies keep breeding, With cheapness of diet and capital feeding ; So to canvas the town, still collecting the pence To further our cause, is a proof of good sense; For how can a damsel inactive remain, The prize a large loaf, and a husband to gain • 'Tis a sad risk to run, and of which I'm afraid , To expire of starvation, or to die an old maid ! CLEOPATRA. STANZAS ON HEARING THAT THE BISHOP OF JERUSALEM HAD LAID THE FIRST STONE OF A PROTESTANT CHURCH ON MOUNT SION. JERUSALEM, Nov. B.—Extract from a private letter : "The Bishop of Jerusalem laid the first stone of the Pro testant Church on Mount Sion on the 2d instant. Forty feet of rubbish, the wreck of ancient buildings mouldering into dust, had to be removed in sinking the foundations." Clear it away, 'tis the ruin of ages; Let the mattock and bar on the sterile ground ring ; And the earth, once the birth-place of prophets and sages, Again rear an altar to Israel's King. Away with the dust of the Ishmaelite stranger! This is not his home, and shall not be his rest ; And the ashes of those who, in toil and in danger, For the " Holy Land " fought, be with joy dispossessed. Scatter the fragments of cornice and column, The relics of temples a Pagan world built ; When the curse had commenced—how tremendous, how solemn!— " Be on us and our children the blood and the guilt !" Dig deep, and away with the wrecks of His slayers Who came and who died a world's ransom to pay— Of Christ, the Redeemer, who, ansi<:ering our prayers, Has strengthened our hands in the work of to-day. We are down to the rock, and the dust yet remaining, It may be of martyrs and prophets of old, While Urim yet shone, all its virtues retaining, And the priest to the people their God's message told. We are down to the rock, and with Christ our foundation, Our church shall be reared for the spread of His word! Till the Jew and the Christian unite as one nation : Then hasten the work in the name of the Lord! RICHARD JONES.

THE DISPOSITION TO COMMIT SVICIDE.—FOT some time before the individual manifests a morbid propensi t y to sun. fise his own life, the mind may have dwelt upon the idea of self-destruction. In some cases the impulse is apparently sudden in its developement : but it will commonly be foun d, upon inquiry, that the notion of suicide has been ha unt i n g the imagination for a considerable time before the act is per petrated or attempted. When the mind has been directed or engaged in a particular train of morbid contemplation for any length of time, the face assumes a peculiar cast, which is present in no other state of mental feeling. The practitioner who has had any experience in these cases can easily detect the existence octhe suicidal propensity. With the view to the prevention of self-murder, how important it is that the physician should make himself practically acquainted with this indication! Parkman relates that Lord M. having requested Stuart, a distinguished artist in London, to paint a portrait of his brother, a captain in the army, he did so with great ac curacy. When Lord M. saw the portrait, he exclaimed, " This is not the portrait of my brother,—it is the portrait of a ma d ma n." The painter requested another sitting ; his lordship saw the painting again, when he observed, "My brother appears more mad than before !" Three weeks . after the Captain blew out his brains. !—F. Winslow's Health of Body and Mind. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Three a' Clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,---This DAY. (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) The import duties for the ensuing week continue unvaried t.cn the rates previously chargeable on foreign Grain and Flour. A moderate quantity of Wheat, with a liberal supply of Oats, Oatmeal, and Flour, have been received here from Ireland within the last three days. We have also to report, during that time, a few hundred quarters of Wheat and Pease, with 5,455 barrels of Flour from Canada, forming the whole arrivals from abroad ; but, coastwise, we have scarcely any fresh arrivals. From the close of Tuesday's market, and up to this date, a tolerably steady feeling prevailed on the part of holders, with limited sales of the leading articles to consumers, on terms varying little, if in any degree, from our previous cur rency, which appeared to constitute the only features in the corn trade here claiming any remark during that period. At our Corn Exchange this morning, foreign free Wheats continued to be held with increasing firmness, and some parties required rather higher prices ; but having very few millers in attendance, and little inclination to purchase, any decided advance, if obtained, was partial, and the transac tions altogether extremely unimportant in amount. Of English Wheat the supply to-day was trivial, and Irish moved off slowly, each description remaining unaltered in value. Home-made and Irish, as well as States and Canadian. Flour, met a limited demand at late prices. A serious fire occurred here yesterday morning, in which, amongst other produce, about 2000 quarters of bonded, and 5000 quarters of duty-paid Wheat were destroyed. Barley and Malt, upon a slow gradual scale, maintained our last quotations. Beans and Pease, with scarcely any inquiry, were the turn cheaper. Excepting a few retail sales, the Oat trade appeared to excite no marked attention, and Tuesday's rates were barely supported. The general price of Oatmeal to-day, was re duced to 21s. per 240 lbs. for good marks of Irish, at which from 1500 to 2000 sacks were disposed of to country buyers.

On Monday last the Incorporated Society for Building, Enlarging, &c., Churches and Chapels, held a meeting at their chambers in St. Martin's-lane, to receive the reports of the amount of the outstanding grants ; to give certificates of the completion of the contracts for erecting, repairing, &c., several churches and chapels: and to receive the report of the sub-committee as to the clAna for aid from several parishes. Newell Connop, jun., Esq., (treasurer,) wss in the chair. There were also present the Revs. H. H. Norris and Benja miu Harrison, J. Round, Esq., M.l'.. J. W. Bowden, S. F. Wood, B. Harrison, William Davis, Wm. Cotton, Esq., &c. After the Rev. Mr. Rodber (secretary) had read the report of the sub-committee, the general committee proceeded to consider the cases referred to them ; and voted grants for the following purposes :—Towards re-pewing the church at Long Stanton, in the county of Salop ; enlarging, by re-building, the chapel at Kentish Town, in the parish of St. Pancras ; towards building a chapel at North Moor-green, in the parish of North Petherton, Somersetshire; re-pewing the church at St. Sampson's, Cornwall ; re-pewing the church at Bromham, Wiltshire; re-pewing the church of All Saints, Leicester; building a chapel at Brownedge, in the parish of Norton-in the-Moors, Staffordshire ; removing a gallery and erecting new seats in the church of Hington, Cambridgeshire ; repair ing the church at Llanginnin, Carmarthenshire; restoring a ruined church at Llandevandoc, Monmouthshire; building a church at Yeovil, Somersetshire. It further appeared from the report that the population of these 11 places is 151,239 persons, for whom church accom modation has now been provided to the extent of 21,850 sittings. Of these 5,066 are free : and, with the assistance of this society, 2,774 sittings will be added to the above amount of church accommodation, of which 2,162 will be free and unappropriated in perpetuity. One of these parishes (St. Pancras, Middlesex) contains a population of 129,598 persons, with church accommodation for only 18,000 of that vast multitude! The united population of four other parishes is 18,383 persons, with church room for only 3,050 of them. The general committee then proceeded to examine the cer tificates sent in to prove the building, enlarging, repairing, &c., of churches and chapels in 20 parishes. These were found regular, approved, and the committee issued warrants to the treasurer for the payment of the sum awarded in each case. The population of these 20 parishes is 36,189, persons, for whom church accommodation to the extent of 8,721 sittings was providsd previously to the execution of the works, to wards which the society's aid, amounting to £2,725, was af forded, including 3,817 free and unappropriated seats. Six of these places contain a population of 23,596 persons, with sittings for only 5,960 of that number. To this very scanty provision of church room 5,162 sittings have now been added ; 3,613 of which will, when completed, be free and unappro priated in perpetuity. In conclusion, the treasurer reported that the amount of outstanding grants i5.£48,505, while the sum in the society's hands to liquidate this demand is only £41,806 ; showing a deficiency of £6,699.

THE CHURCH.—In stating that the Rev. Mr. Balfour had recently succeeded the Rev. Cobbe "Beresford in the benefice held by the latter, we fell into a mistake which we are happy to corect. Mr. Beresford is alive and well, and, to the great consolation of his friends and parishioners, in the full enjoy ment of his benefice. We trust it will be long ere any event but his promotion to a better will leave his preferment vacant. We learn, upon creditable authority, that the Honourable and Venerable Henry Peckenham, Archdeacon of Emly, uncle of the present Earl of Longford, and brother-in-law of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, is to succeed Dr. Daly, the new bishop of Cashel and Waterford, in the Deanery of St. Patrick's.—Dublin Evening Mail. AUDACIOUS OUTRAGE.—A daring outrage was committed in this county, which is, happily, generally remarkable for its tranquility, hit Sunday morning. At half-past four o'clock on that morning, the household of that amiable and most inoffensive clergyman, the Rev. Charles Foster, Rector of Termoneeny, near Portglenone, were awoke from sleep by hearing the lobby window smashed with stones. The ladies of the family were greatly alarmed by this attack, particularly one of them who was in delicate health, and whose life was endangered by the fright she suffered. The cause of the out rage was explained in a notice which was attached at the same time to the knocker of the hall door ; it threatened punish ment without mercy to Mr. Foster, if he did not immediately withdraw the authority he had a few days previously given to a respectable person in the neighbourhood, a Protestant, to collect his rents.—Be fast Paper. MYSTERIOUS CASE OF SUPPOSED MURDER.—At an early hour on Friday, the body of a man, who, there is strong grounds for apprehending, has been the victim of a most in human murder, was found in a burning limekiln, at Miltown, near this city. The discovery was made by a boy, who stated that he proceeded about six o'clock in the morning to the limekiln, when he perceived a strong smell of burning flesh proceeding from the kiln. He says it at once occurred to him that some of his employer's ducks might have fallen into the fire, and be accordingly hastened towards the door of the kiln, on opening which he was horrified at beholding the body of a dead man, with the throat frightfully cut, stretched on the top of the burning mass. Assistance was instantly procured and the corpse taken from the fire, in which, from its appearance, it could not have been lying for many minutes. The fingers of the right hand and the right foot are much burned, but the head and trunk appear to have sustained but little injury from the fire. The wound on the throat extends from the windpipe to the right ear, and is such as in a case of suicide would appear only could have been given by a left-handed person. The general impression among the spectators is, that the murder bad been committed at some distance away, and that the body was afterwards conveyed to the limekiln with the intention of having it con sumed before any discovery would take place.—Dublin paper.—The body has since been identified ; and from the fact of all the private papers and letters of the deceased having been destroyed on the Saturday previous, it is sus pected that the young man destroyed himself. • - - MURDER. — We are pained to state that murder was per petrated here on Sunday, under the following circumstances. Between one and two o'clock, a man named Charles M‘Kay, who was in the employment of a ham-curer in the city, and resided in the house of a Mrs. Tinney, or WKenzie, in the Old Wyncl, disagreed with his wife, and, while she was standing at the window, he seized a ham knife, and stabbed her in the left leg, nearly at the groin. The wounded woman fell, and never spoke afterwards. Medical aid was called in, but it was of no avail; and in the meantime, tie policeman on the station having heard of the deed, came and appre hended M`Kay. The female died within an hour and a half afterwards, and when the fatal crisis was announced to M'Kay (who was now in the Police-office), he was seized with the utmost horror and remorse. The pair, we have been informed, had been out drinking in the morning, and their quarrel was about a very trifling circu nstance. The parties are not more than 27 years of age each ; and so soon as death was reported, the body of the woman was carried to the Police-office, for medical inspection. The knife with which the wound was infficted was brought away by the po liceman. It is a butcher's knife, much ground down, and veay sharp at the poiut ; and it is evident, from the result, that it must have divided a vital vein or artery. On Tuesday the body was examined by Drs. Easton, Crawford, and Miller, and we learn that, in addition to the wound which was the proximate cause of death, there were found a g reat number of contusions on vario us p arts o f the person, which might have been produced by kicks or blows. M'Kay has been examined by the magistrates, and he does not, we be lieve, make any attempt at denial.—Glasyow Mail. ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—Another of those " necessary accidents," as the Newry Examiner playfully remarked when commenting on the horrid murder of Mr. Scully, is thus chronicled by a Birr correspondent of the Leinster Ex press. A reward of £BO is offered by the Lord• Lieutenant for the discovery of the miscreants concerned in the outrage ; —" Truly (says the Express) this county bids fair to become even more notorious than Tipperary, where crimes unparel leled for brutality and atrocity have been almost daily com mitted. Let us dope that this is but an isolated case, and we have every reason to hope it is, for, in point of fact, a crime of so heinous and diabolical nature has not been com mitted in this locality for many years. Such ferocious attempts on the lives of unoffending victims have been hitherto chiefly confined to the neighbourhood of Money gall. The particulars of the case are as follows :—On the night of Tuesday last, the 13th instant, about the 'mir of half-past seven o'clock, a party of six armed men came to the dwelling-house of a farmer named William Young, at Rathgibbon, within three miles of Parsonstown ; Young an d hi s f am ily were at the time sitting round the fire ; three of. the party remained outside, no doubt to give the alarm should any persons chance to approach the house ; the other three entered, two of whom were armed with a pistol and a dagger each, and the other with a blun derbuss. On going in one of the fellows ordered Young to come upon the middle of the floor ; the ruffian with the blunderbuss placed Young's wife and children in a room, on which he remained as a sentinel during this murderous attack. On Young complying with the mandate, the two fellows presented their pistols at him, both providentially burned priming. Seeing they had failed in thus accomplish ing their object, one of the miscreants struck poor Young a violent blow with his pistols on the head, which inflicted a large wound and felled him to the floor. On seeing this, Young's eldest daughter, a girl about sixteen years of age, who had up to the present remained unnoticed by the fellow with the blunderbuss, threw herself between the villains and her father, exclaiming, Spare my poor father to his small children, and murder me!' With unrelenting rancour and hellish perseverance, the vile and unmanly wretches fell upon her, tore her garments and the hair from her head, and in flicted no less than four large wounds on her arms with their daggers. In the struggle one of them also stabbed Young in the neck, and inflicted a dangerous wound. Seeing him and his horoic daughter lying insensible on the floor welter ing in their ,blood, and no doubt thinking they had fully completed their bloody and fiendish design, they were about to leave the house, when the ruffian armed with the blunder buss, who, up to that moment had done nothing except to .keep the wife and children in a room, seemed determined that he would close this tragical and heart-rending scene, and discharged his blunderbuss at his unoffending victims. Fortunately he aimed a little too high, and consequently the contents of his piece lodged in the opposite wall. They then departed. During the conflict Young repeatedly asked what he had done? The only reply he got was, ' They would murder him, and his family should quit that neighbourhood on the following morning.' The only cause assigned for this outrage is, that Young took a farm (the one on which he resides, and which contains nearly 16 acres) about 18 months ago, from which the former tenant had been ejected for non payment of rent by the landlord, Mr. Robert Cassidy, Monasterevan. Young and his daughter lie in a very dan gerous state, and weak, from loss of blood. They deny knowing any of their assailants." CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS. Now is come the Christmas feast, Let every man be jolly ; Each room with ivy leaves be drest, And every post with holly. Without the door let sorrowlie, And if, for cold, it hap to die, We'll bury it in a Christmas pie, And evermore be merry. This is indeed the season of rest, of thankfulness, and of festivity, to tie rural life of England. It is by them still kept• up nearly in the spirit of the olden time, with equal sincerity, and certainly with more refinement. It is for se veral reasons interesting to read an account of the modes of life led by former generations of farmers. Many instructive reflections will arise from such a retrospect. Thus the cul tivator will see, from the account which Tosser gives of the customs of his days, that the tillers of the soil have in the three last centuries benefitted very considerably, in many respects, by the improvement of agriculture, by the better rotation of crops, leading to the enlargement of their winter stock of cattle and sheep, by the increase of knowledge, and the consequent banishment of superstition. The " Book of Husbandry" of Tusser is also interesting, from the informa tion it gives with regard to the household habits of the far mers of more than three centuries since. It is evident.that they then lived very much upon salt fish ; for in his direc tions for the farmer's diet, he mentions for Lent, herrings and salt fish ; at Easter they had veal and bacon ; at Martin mas, beef ; before the feast of St. John, mackerel; fresh herrings at Michaelmas; at Hallowtide, sprats and sparlings ; for Christmas fare, they seemed to have all the modern stand ing dishes— `• Good bread hod good drink, a good fire in the hall, Brown pudding and souse, and good mustard withal ; Beef, mutton, and pork, shred pies of the best, Pig, veal, goose, and capon, and turkey well Brest." They bought, in Tusser's time, stocks of salt fish, such as would amaze a modern farmer in these Protestant days, when, by the disuse of fasting, and by the increase of green winter food, cattle and sheep are kept easily through the winter, and fresh meat is always to be bad. Few farmers would now think of undertaking a Journey to buy fish; yet, he thus directed the farmer of the sixteenth century,— " When harvest is ended, take shipping or ride, Ling, salt fish, and herring, for Lent to provide ; Get home that is bought, and go stack it up dry, With pease-straw between it, the safer to lie."' There is increased inducement now for the enjoyment of " an Englishman's fireside," and there are few attractions to lead us abroad. For, as Miller remarks in his " Beauties of the Country," the woods are now bare and desolate ; or if a leaf or two remain upon the topmost boughs, they hang as mournful remembrancers, like undestroyed captives exhibited in triumph. The flowers areal! gone; we saw them decay one by one from the flush of summer to the straggling ranks of autumn ; white a few stood solitary, and braved the increasing winds, until their rich colours were pale with watching, and they also vanished. Earth, air, and water, but a little while since teemed with life; there was a dashing in the fivers, a rustling in the green branches and the long grass, antfa sound of mingled voices filling the fragrant air with harmony ; and now all is silent but the turmoil of the elements. Beautiful are these associations between man and nature—festivals and flowers, rejoicings and green boughs. Izaak Walton felt this when he " thought the fields too pleasant to be looked upon excepting on holydays," Now, however, in open weather, the fox-hound is busily labouring in his joyous vocation— the sportsman revels in the full tide of enjoyment. Wild fowl begin to be numerous, for in this month arrive, amongst others, the brent goose, the black and red-throated divers, the wild swan, the black, pin -tailed velvet, and elder ducks. and the snow flake. The grey plover is almost the only de parture. There is little noticeable now in the vegetable world, yet, as the author of "The Mirror of the Month's"' remarks, the monthly or China rose begins to be again appre ciated. It has been flowering ail the summer long for its own peculiar satisfaction, and almost unnoticed amidst the flush of fresher looking beauty that surrounded it ; but now its pale blossoms, with their faint perfume, are the favourites of the garden. Now, too, here and there start up those stray gifts which have " no business" to be seen at this season, but which, like fragments of blue sky scattered amidst black clouds, remind us of the beautiful circle to which they belong —we mean the little precious primroses, snow-drops, &c., that sometimes during this month find, or rather loose, their way from their winter homes, where they ought now to be hiding, and peep up with their pale faces, as if in search of spring. The Cheltenham stag-hounds, on Tuesday, had a narrow escape of adding another item to the long catalogue of " dreadful railway accidents." The meet had been the Rising Sun, and the stag having given its pursuers a smart run thence in a circuit round the town, crossed the railroad near Badgeworth, just as one of the Glocester trains came up. The foremost dog was instantly crushed beneath the car riages, and had the train been a few seconds later, the whole of the pack must have shared the same fate, as the hounds were at the moment coming full speed down the bank, but the engine being at full speed also, the train had passed be fore they crossed in pursuit, followed by such of the fields as were up at the time. The stag was captured all safe at Badge worth.—Cheltenham Looker-on. DISTRESS AND DESTITUTION.—We are sorry to have to record the death of a poor man named Coldwell, who died on Saturday last from sheer destitution. From the evidence on the inquest, it -ppeared that the deceased had been long out of work, and subsisted by the kindness of neighbours almost as poor as himself. On Saturday he attended prayers at the Catholic Chapel, and was found in a kneeling posture, imme diately after the service, a corpse. It seems strange, that in a town where charity is ever going about seeking to do good, that this poor fellow - 's distress should have escaped observa tion and been attended with so lamentable a result.—Chel tenham Examiner.—At the inquest, held on Monday, a ver dict was returned of " Died from want of the common neces saries of life." STEAM SUMMARY.—The following steamers are fixed to carry out the respective mails ;—Oriental, on the Ist of Jan uary, with the Mediterranean and East India; Caledonia, on the 3rd of January, with the north American ; Royal Tar, on the 17th, with the Peninsular. The Clyde is still in dock under repairs. The Thames has arrived at the Havannah with 300,000 dollars on board. The Peninsular and Oriental Company intend from February to book passengers all the way between Calcutta, Madras, Ceylon, and England, in cluding the transit through Egypt. The same company in tend despatching the Tama on an experimental trip between this country and Constantinople and Trebisond, calling at Malta, Athens, Svra, Smyrna, Dardanelles, Synope, and Sansoun. The Napoleon steamer has been launched at Havre—length, 159 feet : greatest breadth, 281 feet ; draught of water, laden 12 feet; 120-horse power; diameter of the screw 7 feet 8 inches ; length of the screw, 3 feet 4 inches ; she is rigged with three masts. A new steamer, named Paul, has been laid down at Brest, and is to be launched on the 20th ; she is 167 feet long, and 60-horse power. Two very fine new steamers, of about 800 tons each, with engines of 260 horse power, are now in the East India Dock, on the point of departure from Constantinople ; they have been con. strutted for the Russian Government, and are destined to ply in the Black Sea and Bosphorus.—Railway Magazine. SCULPTURE. - Mr. Park, whose name is well known to the public by the execution of many successful works in sculpture, and who may justly be considered one of the most imaginative sculptors of the day, is at present engaged in a colossal representation of Ixion on the Wheel. On visiting his studio the.other day in George-street, Hampstead-road, we were much struck with the commencement of this diffi cult undertaking.. Instead of binding lxion to the wheel with cords, the artist has supposed him to be fastened to the in strument of torture by serpents, and by this arrangement he certainly gains much in pictorial effect, as it will allow of considerable contrast in the position of the limbs. Mr. Park's design is at once energetic and expressive. In the same studio we noticed some beautifully finished busts. One of Mrs. Robertson of Dulwich, appeared to be remarka ble for the elegant poise of its head, and its soft, delicate, and feeling execution. A recumbent figure, the daughter of the same lady, is pervaded by all the artlessness of youthful innocence. We observed, also, among many others of emi nent personages, a bust of Lord Jeffrey, an admirable like ness and full of character; a bust of Mr. Scott of Teviot bank, a relative of Sir Walter, modelled with a soft, yet firm touch, and with a fine expression, and two excellent busts of Dr. Walmsley and Mr. Jardine, engineers, of Edinburgh. An heroic figure of a Greek combatant attracts the attention in Mr. Park's studio, not only on account of the correctness of its anatomical details, but of the idea of the composition, which is original and fine, and deserves high commendation. —Morning Chronicle. A letter from Malta, of the 30th ult., gives the following remarks on affairs in China, collected from the lips of a Bri tish officer passing through that island on his way home from the expedition at Nankin. Though brief, they are very much to the purpose :—" The Tart , :rs are prodigiously fine athletic men, and very courageous. The Chinese population are ex ceedingly well disposed towards us. On one occasion, when the British wished to attack the Chinese or Tartar troops, a dense population of Chinese stood between them. and when the latter saw signs for them to withdraw they did so, and upon the British making the attack, the Chinese clapped their hands and laughed. The quality of cloth of the British officers was greatly admired, and it appears probable that a great demand will arise for woollen goods in particular, and our commerce with China, generally may be vastly increased. There is plenty of coal in China, it being used as fuel. The houses of the rich are magnificently furnished, and the ladies of rank splendidly dressed. The captain of the French fri gate Erigone, which was lying in the Yang-tse-Keang river, proceeded to Nankin in his boat, and contrived to get into the cabin of the Cornwallis, where the treaty was signed. Sir William Parker would nut request him to withdraw, but he was much annoyed at it, as it had been his intention to in troduce him afterwards to the Chinese commissioners. He is represented to be a shrewd clever man. What would the French have said, had a British captain, under similar cir cumstances, intruded himself on board a French Admiral's ship ?" INDIA JOINT-STOCK BANKING.—The following Is an ex tract from a letter, published in India, as to the fitness of joint-stock banking for Bombay :—" In order to convey to your minds a clearer idea of the evils of advancing upon pro duce, which everybody knows perfectly well the tendency of the bank's operations will be to perpetuate, and of discount ing and making advances of a longer date than three months,' I shall quote, as a practical illustration, a case which the greater number of you must be familiar—l allude to the bankruptcy of Messrs. Ferguson, Turner, and Co., of Bom bay. The failure of that firm is to be ascribed to precisely the same causes which brought about the panic in 1825, viz., ' the extreme facility with which discounts and advances were procured upon bills at long dates,' both of which branches of business are to be taken up by the Bank of Western India. The facilities thus afforded to that firm by their bankers, furnished them with the means of entering into speculations which eventually resulted in their ruin, and but for the great wealth of their bankers, and the assistance rendered them by their friends to prevent their landed property from being forced suddenly into the market and sold at a sacrifice, would probably have brought them down also. One adventure into which the command of money furnished by their bankers tempted them to embark was a speculative purchase of iron ; in fact, the whole stock at that time in Bombay, in the ex pectation that the price would advance. Prices, which these speculative purchases in themselves contributed to enhance, did accordingly rise, so long as they continued to purchase, and when they ceased, the utmost quantity that was sold at a profit was, 1 believe, a few candles by retail. Prices were nominally high, but there were no purchasers ; indeed con siderable quantities of the metal were re-imported into Bombay from various subordinate ports in Guzerat and the Concan ; fresh importations also took plate in the usual coupe from England; and prices from baying been forced up to an unnatural height, speedily fell, leaving the adventure to be wound up with an enormous loss. This was one of the causes of the downfall of the house. if Messrs. Ferguson, Turner, and Co., had been obliged to pay the money they borrowed from their bankers to purchase this iron at a short date, the speculation would have been prevented, and the house most probably would have been still in existence. Yet bills (that is your Money to be lent) at a long date is a branch of busi ness to be under taken by the Bank of. Western India! The more immediate cause of their downfall was overtrading in cotton; and here again they were supplied with ' advances' by their bankers—that is, with money by which they were enabled to enter the market, and purchase the cotton. These inordinate speculations resulted in their downfall. Do I al lude to this in reproach?-No ; I do it with sorrow, in order to illustrate the evils of a system which all the world (and you also, shareholders, by this time) must be perfectly aware will be encouraged and aggravated by the new bank." NEW FIXIMER. FOR A MUSKET.—A new Ettner for musket, recently invented by Mr. Westley RTMards, the well-known eun-maker, of Birmingham, has undergone a most effectual trial on boa H.M.S. Excellent, at this port, for the last three months; and as Sir Thomas Hastings has recommended the Board of Admiralty to adopt it for the use of the navy, we should hope that this simple and ingenious invention will be secured to the Government, The following is a - description of it :—The primer, which is intended to supersede the copper cap, is of a very novel character, being made of a paper mache or mill board, and perfectly secure from damp or wet in its process of manufacture. It is one inch in length, half an inch wide, and the sixteenth of an inch in thickness, the form being slightly wedge shape. The application to the gun is most readily applied into a touch hole suitable to it, instead of the common cone or nipple; the priming powder is concealed in the centre of the primer, and covered with tin foil. The gun is fired in the ordinary manner, and for military and naval use it is decidedly superior to the copper cap, as, after explosion, the primer is perfectly harmless ; and on the deck of a ship, sailors without shoes cannot be injured by laceration of the feet, which must inevi tably be the case from an exploded copper cap when trod upon. Their cheapness and decaying quality is also a great recommendation to them ; at the same time, they are per fectly impervious to damp or wet.—Hampshire Telegraph. EXHUMATION OF CHOLERA VICTIMS.—MOSt of our readers will recollect the time " when the angel of death spread his wings on the blast," and the cholera morbus made such fearful ravages in the land. We recollect hearing. at the period referred to, of a poor woman, young and beauti ful, who, with her infant in her arms, fled from the pesti lence, which had even found its way to the foot of Ben Nevis, and contaminated the pure air of our Lochaber mountains with its deadly breath. She fled from the village of Fort William, to the braes of Lochaber ; but, alas! she carried along with her the seeds of the awful distemper, and, upon reaching the house of her aged mother, she and her infant died. Our unsophisticated rustics. who would undoubtedly face a foe, turned pale et the rumour of the plague being amongst them, and none could be found to consign the dead to their last home, until the clergyman of the parish (Kill monivaig), the late Captain Mccdonell, Killichonate, the medical attendant, Dr. Kennedy, Fort William, and one other kind neighbour (who has since paid the debt of na ture), actuated by a sense of humanity and duty, performed the last sad office to the unfortunate dead. Having con structed a rude coffin, out of a carpenter's bench, these gentlemen dug a grave with their own hands, at a short dis tance from the house where the mother and child had died. In this hastily-constructed grave the remains of both victims were deposited, without a shroud but the blanket in which they died. Ten long years afterwards—that is a few weeks since—the woman's mother died ; and her son, who had long wished to remove the bodies of his sister and her child from their grave in the croft to one in the churchyard of their native parish, for this purpose caused the grave to be opened, and the bodies to be exhumed. Strange to say, after the inhumation of ten years, they were found not only entire, but perfectly firm, though black, as if they had lived and died under the burning sun of Ethiopia, instead of our northern clime. We may ask, is this state of preservation and change of colour a common occurrence ? Does it arise from the nature of the soil, which, in this instance, is a very dark and impervious clay—from the circumstance of the coffin being full of water—or is it a characteristic result of the disease? People will probably have some difficulty in answering the last query from experimental knowledge, as it is likely but few, or none, who have died of cholera, have been ever re-exposed to view. It was a singular case; and there was something very affecting in seeing the infant, as if asleep, upon its mother's arm, with its little head buried in her bosom, whlie her head was turned towards its cheek, just as they had died ten years before. It was also a sad, and, we hope, an instructive spectacle, to witness the aged grandmother, the mother, and tender infant, consigned to one grave in the parish churchyard.—lnverness Courier. )i)Q I~.lllt j fLC!IL Jtt t.

Though the demand for Cotton is comparatively increased, there is a healthiness of tone and feeling which is quite cheering. The quantity offering is not large, and the market has been well cleared of the bulk of new Boweds. The amount of business yesterday was 500 ,, bales. 1000 on speculation; to-day it is 6)00, with a lighter market—more difficult to buy in. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. DEC. 20. The market is almost stagnant this morning, the attendance being very thin, and the samples are all much affected by the moist warm weather, particularly the English Wheat and Irish Oats. which are several shillings in value below the true price. 'f he supplies are considerable of every article. but there is not the slightest speculative business. nor any prospect of a change of duties, which are now all prohibitory to foreign grain. • BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. DEC. 21 During the present week holders of English Wheat required some advance in price, with which the millers were unwilling. to comply, consequently little has changed hands. Malting Barley maintained its value ; grinding unsaleable, except in rain. at reduced rates. In Beans no alteration. English Oats the turn cheaper. Irish, a slow sale, at last week's currency. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER 20. In addition to the limited arrivals stated on Friday last, we have to report a moderate increase of Grain and Flour Coastwise and from Ireland, with a considerable supply of Oatmeal, but no further imports from abroad. At this day's market the Wheat trade remained in nearly the same state as described in the course of last week : having again to notice a limited number of actual buyers, and the millers, as usual at this season of the year, purchasing barely sufficient for immediate consumption, all descriptions of fo reign free Wheats, for which the holders continued to resist any further decline, appeared to remain unaltered in value; and whilst English, principally restricted to moderate delive ries from the neighbouring growers, hardly maintained our last quotations, Irish samples, though in tolerable request, were Id per 70Ibs cheaper. Prime marks of English and Irish Flour, upon a moderate demand, sustained former prices, but all tender and doubtful samples met a very difficult sale, and were decidedly lower ; good Foreign brands, at the same time, moving gradually, on the terms last noted. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, with very little apparent demand, scarcely supported late prices. Oats, although by no means in lively request, were rather more saleable, and realised the rates of this day se'nnight. Oatmeal, on the contrary, was taken off sparingly at a de cline of 3d per 2-101bs. The every Thi Go( tad d For stre e t chant Ti; Pilot : n (ME Th the ( 600 at S e to K and
