Vottrp. LINES WRITTEN UNDER THE FEELINGS EXCITED BY READING GRAY'S ODE, THE " PROGRESS OF POESY." (For the Liverpool Standard.) What art thou, Power unseen, My spirit's depths revealing, Waking feelings that have been Long quenched, or haply now but spring New-born from some teeming cave 'Neath the soul's unfathomed wave? Lo!! they rise, in tumult strong, Bursting from that living deep; Burning thoughts upon me throng, Wild ecstacies my spirits steep; Too heavy seem these bonds of clay— My soul would burst them, and away ! Retune my lyre, sweet Poesy ! Awake to life each silent string ! On thy suppliant child—on me The shadow of thy mantle fling ! Raise my fluttering wing from earth ; Give these pressing visions birth ! See aloft each glowing car Through paths ethereal fly ! Gazing, blinded, from afar, I long to soar with them on high ; Still, though chained to earth I be. Struggling, struggling to be free! But though my footsteps may not climb, flighty. Parnassus ! thy dread steep, Yet I may pluck the fragrant thyme That round thy flowery base doth creep, And there full many a chaplet wild Shall twine, Oh muse! thy lowly child. G. E. M. ROMANTIC STORY. The following strange story appears in the Semaphore of Marseilles. Whether considered as a hoax, or as a proof of the extent to which the burning imagination of the south has carried the writer, it is not unworthy of being reproduced. No suspicion of the girl's being an imposter seems to have occurred to the writer or the authorities :—" We have a touching history to relate to our readers. There is at present in this city a young girl, sixteen years of age, and of remark able beauty, scarcely able to speak a dozen words of French, who has been afflicted with extraordinary misfortunes at more than a thousand leagues from her native country. A man, to whom she was entrusted by a charitable lady at Valence to conduct to Marseilles, presented her within these last few days to the commissary of police. All he could re late of the young girl's history was, that the lady found her weeping bitterly in the midst of a field, and unable, either by gestures or language, to make herself understood. As Mar seilles possesses consuls of all the powers in Europe, speak ing, of course, the languages of the nations they represent, she has been spoken to in fifteen different tongues, without any one of them being her own. As the words Russe' and ' Nicholas' were frequently uttered by her, it was thought she might speak Russian; but when taken to the Russian consul, he could not comprehend a word she uttered. She is at present under the care of the Sisters of Charity of the Hotel Dieu, until something certain shall be discovered of her sad history. She is tall, with regular features, and thick light hair. Her air is melancholy, and her eyes are frequently filled with tears. She wrote in our presence her name and country in close characters, which no person could decipher, and which would have puzzled the intelligence of a Champo lion. This young girl was born in the Ukraine, the kingdom of the Hetman Mazeppa. She must have been born there, for her gestures intimate it clearly. She also gave us to un derstand that she was accustomed to riding ; that the priests of her country wear long beards, and that there is much marshy ground, in which persons sank up to their knees. Our readers will desire probably to know how this fair maid of the Ukraine has come to Marseilles. Her father is an Englishman, named Joseph Protman ; he married a woman named Vichtochtiff, a native of the Ukraine, and from this marriage was born the young girl at present here, whose name is Juliah. The words ' Constantine' and ` Philippe ville,' which she pronounced, would seem to indicate that her father, a merchant or mechanician, which, by the way, are not exactly the same thing, resided five years in one of these two towns, and that he had gone from that part of Africa to seek his family on the banks of the Don. This father of hers must have a mother of great age residing in some town in England. He travelled in a very handsome carriage, drawn by two horses, with his wife, his daugh ter, and a maid servant, and he entered into France through Switzerland. It is by the aid of the words Papa Anglais ; grande maman en Angleterre ; papa a Constantine et Philippeville ; papa en Ukraine ; Suisse ; France; voiture; maman; deux chevaux ; une that we have constructed the account just given. It appears, further, that, within two days' journey of Vaience, a quarrel arose between her father and some other persons at an inn, that the day was rainy, and that the maid of the Ukraine being seized with fear fled across the fields. She afterwards tried to find her parents, but lost her way. She walked on next day, and w as ro bb e d o f h er wa tch by some women who were working at the vintage. For two days she wan dered about, and at last met the charitable lady who sent her to Marseilles. The maid of the Ukraine wears under her clothes a pair of long trousers, after the fashion of her coun try, and is as natural. Amongst the ten or twelve words of French wilich she retains, figure those of mort and mourir, which she pronounces often, to intimate that she will not survive her frightful misfortunes. She wears round her neck a medal, on one side of which is a cross, and on the other an image of the Virgin. When interrogated about Czar Nicholas, she gave us to understand that she had seen him, that be was of lofty stature, and had a severe air. She, however, pro fesses a great veneration for him. The motives of our col lecting together the slightest details of this melancholy story will be appreciated ; we have acted thus in the hope of re storing this unfortunate girl to her parents, whose cruel anguish it is easy to imagine." The same paper, of a later date, states that nothing new has transpired respecting the young stranger, of whom it has given so romantic an account, and whom it has surnamed the " Fair Maid of the Urkaine." She is still under the care of the Sisters of Charity, one of whom is endeavouring to teach her French. She is apparently in great distress of mind, though not yet, the writer in the Semaphore declares, fully impressed with an idea of the full extent of her melancholy situation. A young Russian, residing at Marseilles, whose fame as a linguist is considerable, was brought to see her, and he declares that the tongue which she speaks is not that of the inhabitants of the Ukraine. He thinks that she comes from Greenland, that the name of her father is Pistisutii, and that the part of Greenland from which she comes is Abraz lane. All this is, however, mere conjecture ; the real history of the young stranger is still unknown. THE GASTRIC JUICE.—Worms in the alimentary canal resist the agency of the gastric juice so long as they are alive ; but when dead they are then subject to the laws which govern inanimate matter, and are consequently digested or expelled like the ordinary contents. This fact affords a good reason for using cold boiled water, as the high temperature to which it is raised must kill the animalcules that may be found in this fluid, and thus they are rendered easy of digestion. It is a remarkable circumstance, first observed by John Hunter, and referable to the same principle, that the gastric juice will, when the individual dies, dissolve the very stomach that bad secreted this powerful solvent, and had resisted its action when living. The knowledge of this fact was the means of acquitting an individual accused of the crime of poisoning.—Philosophy for the Public. SCENE IN A. LONDON OMNIBUS.—WeII, this London is a strange place. There is no knowing the gentleman from the swindler—the man of " ton" from the man of " tun." Yesterday, returning from the city, in the Strand, an ex quisite, bearded like the pard, and a new zephyr cloak for 1842 carelessly flung over hi s j ewe ll e d h an d, en tered the omnibus in which were your humble servant. and seven other ladies. He aped the "lady-killer"—stiff in stock, and trussed up to the " mode." In a moment I found a hand passing my waist, and gently descending to my pockets. I made a slight movement. The exquisite pick-pocket became alarmed at my discovery, and removed his digits ; hut I re mained on the look-out for a second attempt. In a short time afterwards we bad a new arrival, in the form of a dashing elderly lady, who was admitted at Piccadilly. Her trip was short. Near Burlington House she unclasped an ornamented reticule, then unlocked a splendid purs e , we ll stored with rare ayes, yclept " Victor ias." Taking from amidst these chirping canaries the needful miler sixpence, she called a halt at Birlington Arcade. While she extended her hand to the omnibus mercury, I saw the beau jump quickly from the vehicle, closing his zephyr about him, and rush hastily up the Arcade steps. I called out, " Oh, madam, look hale you your purse; I am sure you have been robbed ?" " Thank you, ma'm," said she. " Well I never—did you ever—?" " No, never." Out I bounced, followed by the victim. We both gave chase. " Stop thief—stop dandy — there he goes—stop thief !" shouted we. The swindler turned the corner, and got to Lord Anglesey's house. On We came, but behind us arose a din similar to the music, " once heard, ne'er to be forgotten," of some half-score of donkies in a chorus arranged for the purpose, and forth came the omnibus guard. " Ladies," said he, " you did not pay Your sixpences, and you are not going to give us the slip after that fashion." The fact was, in our hurry to overtake a swindler, we were ourselves mistaken for a pair, having, in our hurry, forgotten to pay our fare. We were obliged to discontinue the pursuit, and the youth in the zephyr escaped, carrying with him twenty-seven sovereigns. The following story, related by the Gazette des Tribunaux, is a new version of a tale given long since in some of the Paris papers by way of a quiz at John Bull. The Gazette says 1— 'The English (MM. les Anglais) have now and then eccentriciti es to which it is impossible to ha b it U ate ourse l ves, alt hough the frequency of our relations has in some measure made us familiar with their whims. An eccentricity of this nature has just brought M. Fressart before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at the suit of Sir Plakett. On the 2d ult., at six in the evenin M. Fressart entered a restaurant on the Bouleva r d du Temple to take his dinner. All the tables were fully o ccupied, except one at which was seated only a single person, although the table was large enough for four. M. Fressart politely approached this person, and asked permission to p l ace himself a t the same table. 'Je voulais Bien tree volontiers,' replied the person addressed, who was no o ther t han Sir Plakett. M. Fressart took his seat, and dined tranquilly opposite the Englishman, who went on eating without saying another word. Sir Plakett, having finished first, rose, and went to the bar to pay his bill. An instant afterwards, the waiter who had serve d M . F ressart went to him , an d inquired wh hey h e would take anything else, as my lord was paying the bill f or b oth, and it would be included at the same , time._ rising rn bill 1' • Y 1 . said M. , is hemad ? and, immediately, he went Fressart ; to the bar where the En g lishman stood, Picking hi s teet h and waiting patiently for the bill. 'My lord,' saidid conceded to Fres saat, ' I thank you fo o r r having very politely a portion of your table,but that was quite sufficient, andrel beg you sill allow me to pay my own bill.' Sir Plak ett re plied, ' Sir, I will not suffer it. I know the laws of hospi tality, and I will prove to you that they are practised better in England than in France. You have dined a t my table, and as true as my name is Plakett I will pay your bill.' A sharp discussion ensued. The Englishman became angry. The Frenchman laughed, but remained of the Frenchman, firm. At leth, exasperated at the refusal and laughter ng Sir Plakett struck him a blow on the stom ach with his fist. Furious at this attack, M. Fressart took up a bottle which was at hand, and struck Sir Plakett with i t on the head, causing him to bleed profusely. The master of the house now interfered, and separated the combatants.i his Si r Plakett, however, who had become seriously injured , lad com plaint before the police authorities, and M. Fressart appeared to answer the c ha rge . The President of the Tribunal said to Sir Plakett, ' It was you who provoked M. Fressart. Why did you strike him ? ' Sir Plakett—Because he refused to allow me to pay for his dinner, and laughed in my face. President—His repugnance tO allow you to pay his bill is easily to be conceived. Sir Plakett —ln England we are hospitable: if we had been in London under the same cir cumstances, and I had dined at his table, I should have al lowed him to pay my bill. The President next addressed the defendant, and lectured him very severely for having, even with the provocation of a blow, resorted to an act of such violence as that of which he had been guilty, and which might have caused death. M. Fressart replied that he was so excited by the blow that he knew not what he did. He had laughed until then ; but after receiving a blow, the se cret of administering which is known only to the English, he lost all self-control. He was found guilty, and con demnedgmegar 150 francs and the costa. milli 4:ir te-hdit...ca: % I'- - . , :-., , ~. - • F , ' - 4 be- %,74: — ..tig•-• ,,, '- ..-- - • MlN'll !•:-N IS 100 cIIVA I_l'l MISCELLANEOUS. Her royal highness the Princess Sophia continues residing at Broadstairs, where she intends remaining until November. A cargo of potatoes from Guernsey has been disposed of in Bristol this week, at about 3s. per sack, or 3d. per 201bs. We are happy to say that Sir William Geary, formerly M.P. for West Kent, who met with the extrordinary accident which we mentioned last year is now out of danger. Pope's works have recently been translated into German by Adolph Boettger and Theodor Oelkers ; the former the successful translator of Byron, the latter of Moore. The Brighton harriers on Wednesday, in pursuit of a hare, rushed over an embandcnent on the railway, into a cutting upwards of 30 feet deep, and several were lamed by the fall. BLEEDING AT THE NOSE.—M. Negrier states, that the hemorrhage may be almost instantaneouly checked by raising the arm on the same side as that of the nostril from which the blood flows. The Great Liverpool, which sailed on Saturday for Alex andria, took out several omnibuses for crossing the desert, and an iron steam-boat to ply on the Mahmoudie canal. Mr. Edwards, postmaster of Castle Cary, has been com mitted for trial on a charge of abstracting from a letter, written by a young lady to a person in France, a £5 note. It was deposed that he paid the note to a Jew for goods. NEW MAGISTRATE.—At the quarter sessions held at the court-house, on Thursday, W. Hargreaves, Esq., of Broad Oak, near Accrington, took the oaths and qualified as a ma gistrate for this county.—Preston Pilot. There is a well of good fresh water at Newton, near Porth Cawl, Glamorganshire, and within a quarter of a mile of the sea ; but, strange to relate, when the tide is full the well is dry, and when the tide is out there are six or seven feet of water in it. It appears that the duty on about 123,000 quarters of foreign wheat has been paid at this port during the last two weeks, and it is estimated that three-fourths of the quantity is still in granary.—Newcastle Journal. There is now growing in a garden at Barnard Castle, Dur ham, belonging to Mr. James Rose, a very fine bed of straw berries, perfectly ripe. being the second crop this season ; the same garden has also produced an extraordinary crop of onions, one of which measured 17A inches in circumference. A gentleman of Black Torrington has an otter that is quite domesticated, and so tame that it accompanies him about like a dog. The animal is so under command that it will go into the river, catch fish, and bring them out to his master. —Weatern Luminary. GOOD FRUITS OF THE INCOME TAX.—A few cf the ab sentees are coming back to evade the payment of the Income Tax. The Marquis of Clauricarde and the Marquis of Ely have arrived, others of our nobility are coming, and several of our gentry have already returned. — Waterford Chronicle. FEROCITY OF THE BOAR.—Mr. Charles Matcham, of the Globe Inn, Andover, lost a valuable cow on Monday week, which had been so seriously injured by the attack of a boar, literally ripping open the poor animal's stomach, that it was obliged to be immediately killed. FOREIGN POTATOES.—Amongst the imports of the present week have been half a cargo of potatoes, brought by the Francisa Maria, from Amsterdam. We have heard that the quality is well spoken of, and we suppose we may now set down our Dutch neighbours as regular competitors in this market.—Hull paper. PENzANcs.—The schooner Earl of Devon, which was sunk in the Bay on the 3d of February, 1841, and was pur chased as she lay for 200 guineas, baying been raised and brought into the pier with great labour, and at a cost of from £1,200 to £1,400, was brought to the hammer last week, and knocked down for £26o.—West of England Conservative. Sir Charles Bagot, the governor-general of Canada, in his reply to the address presented to him by the ministers of the Wesleyan church in Canada, formally recognises them as a distinct church, and not as a branch of the British Wesleyan connection, from which body they have formally seceded. — Patriot. DEANERY OF FERNS.—His Excellency the Lord Lieute nant of Ireland has been pleased to appoint the Rev. Henry Newland, D.D., to the deanery of Ferns, some time vacant by the demise of the Very Rev. Peter Browne. The deanery includes a benefice of the value of £B5O per annum, besides other advantages. We are happy to state that the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade, Mr Gladstone, has quite recovered from the effects of his recent severe accident at Hawarden Castle, but be is still obliged to carry his left arm in a sling, having, as already stated, had the misfortune to suffer ampu tation of the forefinger of that hand. The price of butchers' meat, with the exception of that of beef, has fallen materially in price at several of the provincial markets within the last few weeks. At Berwick, lamb is selling at 4d. and 41d., mutton 5d., and pickled pork sd. per lb. At Newcastle, mutton and lamb are still selling at 6d., and beef at 7d., per lb. THE CHARTIST CONVICTS AT CHESTER.—We have been informed that a petition to the Queen is in the course of preparation, praying for a remission of the sentence of such of the prisoners as had been somewhat severely dealt with, the ground of the petition being that the judge, in his address to the grand jury, had prejudiced their trials.—Stockport Advertiser. A clergyman, residing at Ilchester, when collecting tithes of a farmer, understanding that his wife was lately confined with twins, took them as the tithes of the farmer's progeny. This occurred several years back, and the children are now living under the care of their benefactor, receiving an educa tion that will ultimately enable them to aspire to respectabi lity of station in life. MILK, HALLO I—A Chesire farmer, residing near Crewe, in consequence of the fall in cheese, determined to discon tinue manufacturing that article, and instead to send genuine milk to Liverpool, and actually, by contracting with the railway company, now conveys this nutritious article a dis tance of 43 miles, delivering the same by half-past eight o'clock in the morning.—Chester Chronicle. DEATH OF THE LORD ADVOCATE OF SCOTLAND.—We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon. Sir William Rae, Bart., which took place on Tuesday evening, at his residence, St. Catherine's, near Edinburgh. He had been for some time in a weak state of health, and was advanced in life. He had filled the appointment of lord advocate from the accession of Sir Robert Peel to office. On Sunday week, his Grace the Archbishop of York preached in the chapel at Bishopthorpe to a numerous con gregation, the chapel being full, as it was understood to be the last sermon the bishop intended to preach, in consequence of his very advanced age, having on Monday last completed his 85th year. The text was most appropriate—" The night cometh when no man can work." We rejoice to learn that the Wasp corvette has been com missioned at Chatham by Captain Drew, who so gallantly 'distinguished himself during the revolt in Canada. The Whigs, with all their bluster, stood too much in awe of Brother Jonathan to do justice to this gallant officer. It was reserved for a Conservative Government to give him the well merited and long-withheld reward.—Brighton Gazette. THE PRESTON GUILD ROBBERY.-At the Knutsford Ses sions, on Wednesday last, Eliza Bayley, who was committed from Birkenhead, for the robbery of Mr. J. Marquis, at the Preston Guild, was tried, convicted, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. The prisoner, who was weeping bit terly, exclaimed, as she was being conducted from the bar, " Oh! have mercy on me—think of my two poor dear chil dren." The trial occupied about five hours. A FAILING CAUSE.—The circular addressed by the Mid dlesex Reform Registration Club to the parties whose votes have been objected to, contains the following significant post script :—" You will incur no expense by accepting this as sistance, unless it be your pleasure to assist, by a donation, to defray the travelling and incidental expenses of those gen tlemen who have come forward to defend the liberal electors, now that the clubs have abandoned the county." DOWNFAL OF AN OLD TREE.—We regret to state that the fine old acacia tree, standing between the chapel at Magdalene College and the President's lodgin g s, fell to the ground last week. It has again been raised, and an attempt made to preserve the venerable occupant of perhaps more than 100 years' standing, by lopping off its top branches and supporting the trunk ; but we much fear that the attempt will prove ineffectual.—Oxford Herald. The Earl of Wilton and the other gentlemen on a mission to invest the King of Saxony with the Order of the Garter performed the ceremony on the 4th instant, at the Palace in Dresden. The King was seated on his throne, and was at tended by the Queen, Prince John, and the Dowager of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin, and surrounded by his ministers. In the afternoon there was a grand court dinner in the Throne-room. NEW YORK STEAMER BRITISH QUEEN.—We are in formed by the London agent of this steamship, that orders have been sent out to New York for her not to leave the port before the 10th to the 12th instant, instead of the regular day, the 7th,—this being her last voyage this season. We are requested to make this announcement, in order to tran quillize the public mind, as she would in the regular course he due at Cowes about to-day, the 22d, whereas she is not to be expected for five or six days longer.—Timer. THE HEALTH OF HER MAJESTY.—We have very high authority for announcing the important and highly gratifying fact, that our most gracious Sovereign is in that delicate and interesting situation, the intimation of which cannot fail to be received with the most heartfelt interest by every loyal subject in the dominions of her Majesty. Sit James Clark, one of the physicians in ordinary to the Queen, has paid fre quent visits to her Majesty of late at Windsor Castle. Her Majesty has not taken any equestrian exercise for some time past.—Morning Herald. SUDDEN DEATHS.—Three afflicting cases of this nature have lately occured in Salisbury, within the short space of five days. Friday, a respectable inhabitant of Fisherton, named Heasall, was struck with death, after having been in conversation with a neighbour and apparently in perfect health, only a few minutes previously ; and on the day fol lowing, a case almost equally sudden occurred in St. Ann street, to a widow of a tradesman named Higgins. On Tuesday morning, at an early hour, Mrs. Wyatt, a shop keeper on the new canal, expired suddenly, having been en gaged in her business almost up to the moment of her death. VISIT OF THE COURT TO BRIGHTON.—In consequence of some alterations which are now taking place at the Pavi lion, and the preparations required to be made previously to the arrival of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, it is now expected that the departure of the court from Windsor will be postponed for a week beyond the period originally fixed upon. Although the directors are most anxious that her Majesty should proceed from London to the Pavilion by the Brighton Railway, it is not considered probable that the Sovereign will avail herself of this mode of travelling to the coast of Sussex. THE. MILLENIUM.—A t the twenty-first anniversary meet ing of the Norfolk and Norwich Association for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, the Rev. W. Wollaston Pym, M.A , Rector of William , H erts, in the course of his s p eech, stated,. that according to the different prophecies in the Bible, the chronologists had calculated that the time which God had appointed to set the children of Israel free was fast ap proaching, some of whom stated that it would take place between 1840 and 1850, while others fixed it from 1844 to 184 7, which latter time the reverend speaker believed in. He thought that the Christian churches should unite together in the great undertaking, the conclusion of which he felt persuaded was fast approaching. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—Last Wednesday a shocking accident happened at Cooksbridge, near Lewes. One of the inhabitants, named Lashmar, after spending the day in shooting, was cleaning his gun, when finding the breach re sist his efforts to unscrew it from the barrel, he sent it to Baker, the village blacksmith, to get the parts separated. Baker, neglecting to ascertain whether the barrel was loaded or not, placed it in his forge fire, when the powder ignited, and sent the charge into the thigh and abdomen of his He man, ws w we r h k o i s g saot much bellows e i l n l w u r s e d at h t tat he his ttn l i e f e a n i s d despaired reeeiv ed t o h f e . whole contents of the barrel. Baker, the master, was also severely hurt by the recoil of the barrel. An inhabitant of Saint Omer, supposed to be worth several millions of francs, went a few days ago to Abbeville with his daughter, who is between 12 and 14 years o ld, w i t h t h e in tent of placing h e r at a boarding school. The morning after their arrival, while they were at breakfast together at the Hotel d'Angleterre, the father was struck with apoplexy, fell from his chair, and died in a few minutes. The state of the young lady, thus awfully deprived of her parent, and left alone among strangers, may be imagined. The cure of the cathedral, hearing of her distress, went to her, and took her to a school, there to be protected until her own relations should arrive. EXPLOSION OF A STEAM BOILER.—On Tuesday morning last the inhabitants of the town of Middlesbro' were alarmed by the explosion of a large boiler, used at the iron-works of Messrs. Bolkow and Vaughan, around which a great num ber of workmen were engaged when the dreadful catastrophe took place. Three men were killed, and about eighteen or twenty wounded ; one man was sent with considerable force, by a piece of the boiler, into a mass of fire, and was seen to expire in the midst of it. Little hopes are entertained of many of the sufferers.—Leeds intelligencer. On Monday week, at 11 o'clock at night, Mr. Abraham Gale, 24 years of age, left the Chequers Inn, ' near Chippen ham, on horseback, on his way home to Biddestone. The next morn;ng his body was found dead on the road near Beckell Wood, not far from his house. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of "accidental death." There appears to be a remarkable fatality in this family—the father of Mr. Gale having been accidentally killed in riding home from Chippenham market about three years since, and a younger brother of the deceased having been also accidentally killed six or seven years previously.—Devizes Gazette. MACHINE FOR MEASURING THE VELOCITY OF THE PIS TON.—This ingenious machine, the invention of the late Capt., Tregaskis, was explained by Mr. Philips, of Tuck ingmill. Its necessity arose from the fact of the piston moving with variable speed. Ranged round the inside of a circular box were fourteen compartments which passed under a stream of sand flowing through a small hole in the bottom of an inverted cone, as sand in an hour-glass. These being connected by a cord with the piston, the whole fourteen would receive a share of the falling sand, in proporiion to the rapidity of its movement beneath it ; and it was only neces sary to weigh the deposits of sand to ascertain the compari tive velocities, the velocity being, of course, in an inverse ratio to the weight of sand. Thus, as the piston at first moves slowly, the first compartment will receive the largest quantity of sand. The greatest velocity seemed to be at the point of time at which the fourth compartment passed ; and the least velocity at the last, the motion beginning to be retarded at the sixth division. GLOOMY PROSPECTS OF THE IRON TRADE.—The October series of iron-masters' quarterly meetings are just ended. Gloomy and dull as the season they have been ; the business done has been comparatively trifling, and the future prospects of the trade are disheartening in the extreme. Consequent on the late stoppage of the works, a rise on the then ruinously low price of iron of £1 per ton was attempted, and, in many instances, paid, but prices have again receded, and the at tempt to maintain in the current quarter a rise of 10s. will, no doubt, prove abortive. The demand created by the stoppage of the works is supplied, and the orders now issued will only be for such quantities as are required for immediate use; what this will be may be inferred from the fact that the chain and trace trade is nearly at a stand still, while the de mand for nails is daily decreasing. Some idea may be formed of the extent of the reduction in the make of iron, from the fact that one work, which has usually paid from £l5OO to £l6OO for carriage per quarter, has not incurred an expense of 1:70 on the same account in the one just ended.— Worcester Chronicle. CATTLE AND PROVISIONS AT HULL.—The importations of prime Holstein cattle continue undiminished at this port, with every appearance of an increased business. Last week, for the half-yearly fair, there arrived, by the steamers from Hamburg, 92 oxen, 44 cows, and 21 swine. This week we have had from HAMBURG. Oxen. Cows. Swine. By the Tiger. 5O 0 4 Transit 43 4 0 Manchester 4O 0 0 ROTTERDAM. By the Emerald Isle . .. 0 2 0 Total And the Leeds is expected to arrive here for the first time to-day, with another consignment of cattle; so that, as the means of transit increase, so do the importotions, the supply at Hamburg being abundant.—Eastern Counties Herald. PRICES OF PROVISIONS IN TILE METROPOLIS. — III Ox ford -street, Tottenham Court Road, Shoreditch, the New Cut, Lambeth, Lambeth and Vauxhall Walks, and the prin cipal thoroughfares, provisions are at present selling at the following moderate prices, viz.:—Prime legs of mutton at 6d. and 61d. per lb. ; shoulders, 5 3 / 4 d. per lb. ; necks, 4d. and 41d. per lb.

Berwick pork, from 41d. to s'd. per lb. ; dairy-fed pork, from 51d. to qd. per lb. The best household bread can be had at 61d. the 41b. loaf, and some rather coarser may be bought at .51d. and 6d. the 41b. loaf. Butter at Bd., 9d., 10d., and the best Dorset at Is. per lb. Gloucester cheese, 6d. to Bd. per lb. ; Cheshire, 7d. to 81d. per lb. ; Dutch, 43d. to s'd. per lb. Although the foregoing arc the general prices, still inferior articles can be purchased at a much lower rate.—London paper. Such a long continuance of drought at this season has not been experienced for half a century ; and the consequence is that there are now few miles in the country, driven by water, which have a sufficient supply, and many are completely stopped. Our own line of works upon the Shaws Water. we regret to say, have to a certain extent been affected by the scarcity, as they were yesterday put upon short allowance, and are to work only half time until the watery influence re gain the ascendancy. It is but proper to state, that this stoppage would not have occurred, even from the protracted drought, had it not been that the sluice on Loch Thom be came, from sonic cause or other, unworkable a short time since; and to repair it, it was necessary to run off a depth of about 26 feet of water, being fully equal to three months sup ply ; still leaving abundance, under ordinary circumstances, to meet the usual wants of the mills, had the customary sup ply of rain descended this season.—Greenock Advertiser. RAPID VEGETATION.—Some surprise was expressed by a correspondent, the other week, at hearing that a second crop had been obtained from the same ground in one year by Mr. M. Brown. This was most satisfactorily explained by Mr. Brown.; but we have something still more surprising for the ears of our correspondent—namely, the raising of a third crop from the same ground ! This has been done by our worthy friend Mr. Moor, of Houghton, in the garden of Mr. Stordy, of Cross-hill. After taking two crops of potatoes off the ground, he planted a third in the first week in Aug.; and on Thursday last we had the pleasure of partaking of a dish from that planting ; and certainly finer flavoured pota toes we never tasted. They were of large size, and the crop is abundant. We were also shown by Mr. Moor a sample of new potatoes grown from seed raised this year !—a circum stance, we believe, almost unparalled. They were planted the second week in August, are already of a good size, and present a most healthy appearance. It is Mr. Moor's in tentiongpaeradresnwi were r e w t h a i k c t n h e s i s e w w e o e n k d , e w r s h h a v w e e b i g e h e e n d witnessed o a f to let them grow till Christmas.

FATAL CoLusioN.—A dreadful collision happened on the night of Monday last off the eastern coast, between Whitby and Stockton, which unhappily terminated in the total des truction of a vessel and the loss of two lives. The vessels which came in contact were the Despatch, a schooner be longing to London, and the sloop Margaret and Ellen, of Leith. The accident took place between seven and eight o'clock within a few miles of the village of Runswick, situate seven miles to the north of Whitby, during a heavy sea and a gale of wind from the westward. Both vessels were in full trim, and scudding through the water at a rapid rate—the schooner bearing down to the north, and the Margaret and Ellen progressing on her passage, in a southerly direction to London. Upon the vessels nearing, those on board the Dis patch exerted every nerve to avoid coming in contact ; they altered the course, and shouted to the crew of the Margaret and Ellen to do the same ; instead of which—no doubt con fused—they brought her in direct opposition. The result was that in the next moment the sloop ran upon the schooner with tremendous violence. The crash is described to have been terrific. The consternation of those on board the schooner and sloop was of a description easily imagined, and upon it somewhat subsiding, the latter was discovered to be fast sinking, and her crew were exclaiming " 0, God save us, we are going down." By that period the Dispatch had disentangled itself from the rigging of the sloop, and was not within space to allow the unfortunate crew to get on board. The master however, with several of his men, set about launching the ship's boat, but by the time that was accom plished, a period not more than three minutes, the sloop went down, carrying with her two of the crew; the res tmi raculously saved themselves by springing to a rope that was hanging over the bows of the Dispatch at the moment of their vessel sinking. The following is given from an official statistical return of the convicts at the Bagnes on the Ist January, 1842 :—The total number was 6,908, of whom 271 were invalids. Their ages were-156 between 16 and 20; 1,868 between 21 and 30 ; 2,204 between 31 and 40 ; 1,663 between 41 and 50 732 between 51 and 60 ; 285 between 61 and 69. There were 4,139 bachelors, 515 married men without children, 534 with one child, 1,351 with several children, 117 widowers without children, 77 with only one child, and 175 with several chil dren. 4,128 could neither read nor write; 2,012 could read and write imperfectly ; 650 could read and write well, and 114 had received superior primary education. The crimes of which they were convicted were, attempts to commit murder, 175 ; conspiracy, 72 ; fraudulent bankruptcy, 11 ; bigamy, 5 ; cutting and maiming, 109; malversation by public officers. 24 ; political, 3 ; desertion after pardon, 4 ; poisoning, 69 ; extortion of money by acts of violence, 15 ; forgery, 192 ; coining, 116 ; perjury, 6 ; arson, 139 ; resistance with vio lence to legal authorities, 13; obtaining money by threats, 3 ; murder, 867 ; parricide, 18 ; plunder in bands, 13 ; rebel lion, 9; selling military accoutrements, 3; rapes, 314: rob beries, 4,546 ; accumulation of crimes, 182. Duration of punishment under 5 years, 22; from 5 to 10 years, 3,097; from 11 to 20 years, 1,268 ; from 21 to 30 years, 570 ; from 31 to 40 years, 58 ; from 41 to 50 years, 26 ; from 51 to 60 years, 6; for life, 1,861. Among the various stations in life filled by the convicts previous to their condemnations, 12 were anatomists, physicians, or surgeons; 50 veterinary sur geons or farriers; 30 hotel and innkeepers, and masters of lodging-houses ; 32 jewellers arid goldsmiths; 26 makers of lace and embroideries ; 9 coffee-house keepers ; 15 chasers and engravers ; 1 comedian ; 22 restaurateurs, &c. ; 220 do mestic servants ; 7 druggists and herborists ; 5 ecclesiastics ; 6 public functionaries ; 12 opticians and mathematical instru ment makers ; 2 u,en of letters ; 3 men of law; 27 school masters and professors ; 37 watchmakers and mechanicians ; 105 military men ; 7 musicians ; 9 merchants ; 7 notaries ; 39 proprietaires, or men of independent property, EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF IMPRISONMENT UNDER THE BANKRUPT LAW.—A printed circular has recently been published by a Mr. John Dufrene, complaining of the injustice of an imprisonment in the Queen's Bench Prison, of which he has been the victim, of upwards of 30 years. It will be perhaps the best to quote the words of the circular itself, because that document sets forth the case of the pri soner in his own words :—'' Mr. Joh n D u f rene , a respecta ble merchant or Leeds, was declared a bankrupt in the year 1812, the petitioning creditor having sworn to a debt of £6OO, whereas Mr. Dufrene states that the petitioning creditor was indebted to him £670. When he was brought before the Commissioners he disputed their auth or it y t o procee d aga i nst him without a petitioning creditor's debt; but they took his property from him, and committed him to prison. He then appealed to Lord Chancellor Eldon, before whom his case had several hearings without any decision. His last hearing in Chancery was before Lord Brougham ; and the report in the Times newspaper of September, 1833, s t a t es t h at " Th e Lord Chancellor rose without giving judgme n t." Hi s L or d - ' ship, having afterwards resigned the Seals of Office, lost all judicial authority to grant an order for a supersedeas of the commission to which Mr. Dufrene became entitled at that hearing. His friends being all dead, by whom he was for some years well supported, his health and life have since been, and are now, placed in jeopardy . through ext reme pri vations connected with his support in the Queen's Bench Prison, where there is no regular gratuitous allowance to sus tain life." This statement is concluded by an appeal to t h e u public for pecuniary aid in order to obtain redress, and s t ates that subscriptions will be thankfull y received by the R ev . Dr. Pye Smith, Homerton; Rev. John Burnet, Camberwell ; and by Messrs. Carlisles , Pitman, andCo 11, Bow-l an e, fre : oCrb whatever eapside. 17 : 1ay b e Whateverthe causesma y which be t e meritshave led t hnpnreim sonment, it is impossible for any unprejudiced person to form a judgment from an ex part e state m ent coming either from himself or from those opposed to him, and it can only be in a court of justice, upon a full investigation, that the truth can be arrived at. But, at the same time, it is suffi ciently apparent that the case demands, without delay, an investigation that shall give him his liberty, or, if . he have acted dishonestly, define his punishment and inflict it. The very fact of a man having been 30 years in prison upon any thing but a final adjudication of his case, is a disgrace to the laws of the country, and an evil that should at once be reme died. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. On Saturday last, a darkish cabriolet, containing a mili tary-looking gentleman, luxuriating in all the hirsute glory , of imperial, moustache, and" hyacinthine locks of ebon hue,' was observ , A making the circuit of Berkeley-square for up wards of thice quarters of an hour. The attention of several persons w,,F. ratracted to the " turn out," first, from the very frequent prltrusion of the " head piece" of the cab-(gentle-) man, who was evidently on the look-out ; and, secondly, from the extraordinary diminutive appearance of the tiger attached to the vehicle, who might, had he lived in days of yore, safely have competed with that renowned dwarf, Jeffery Hudson, for the honour of being served up in a pie at the royal table. As time wore on, the military-looking gent. began to evince evident symptoms of growing impatience. He was observed frequently to consult his watch, and then, leaning forward in the cab, gaze anxiously in the direction of Brook. street. Suddenly the figure of a female, closely veiled, appeared at the corner of the street. The quick eye of the gallant cabman detected the " fair in an instant. A smart " flanker " awoke the spirited horse into action, and in the twinkling of a love-glance the lady was seated by the side of the imperialled driver, and the vehicle dashed off at a rapid pace towards Oxford-street. The cabriolet had barely been put in motion, ere a remarkably stout and kursy-lookingindividual rushed to the spot. He gesticulated with an energy truly wonderful for a man of his exceeding bulk, and in a voice resembling the groan of a broken-winded bagpipe, he bawled out, " Stop, stop !" As well might he have roared " Hold hard," to an engineer on the Great Western , who with the steam up, had just started for his terminus. The driver of the cabriolet heeded not the who officiated on the foot-board behind the vehicle, swung , imp, of juvenile delinquency, cry, but the audacious young himself round on the heel of his t o p-b oo t, an d ac t u ally tele graphed the " roarer with his five digits, after the most approved style of the " fancy " when spo r tively inclined. i The pursy-looking ndividual, finding that his request was not attended to, waxed exceedingly wroth and eccentric. He flung his hat violently on the pavement, and commenced a sort of pas soul on the beaver of an extr aor din a ry and novel description, to the infinite delight of an ad m i r i ng crowd, who began to collect around him. The reiterated shouts of laughter from the byestanders at last, however, somewhat restrained the exuberance of his feelings. He gathered up the compressed beaver, buttoned up his sur t ou t w ith the air of a desperate man, and forthwith departed from the scene of his serio-comic exhibition. It has s i nce b een ascer t a i ne d that the e military - looking ver of th e ca b r i o l e t i s a b ona f i d e son of Mars , less driver personage than Lieut. G—s, of the twenty----, and the fair partner of his flight is the only daughter of an opulent wool-merchant, residing in the vicinity of the square. The fair fugitive, who is nineteen years of age, will, on attaining her twenty-first year, become entitled to a fortune of £33,000. No intelligence has been obtained of the course taken by the runaways.—Era. THE GARDEN.—You must not find fault with my forma lity in gardening. I love, to my very heart, the old English taste in horticulture—its neat square shrubberies; its wide gravel walks crossing each other at right angles; its numer ous parterres, each of which is devoted to one kind of flower ; its clipt hedges, its well-shaven lawn, its primitive time keeper (the sun-dial), its statues, and the sparkling gush of its fountains. A garden is essentially a thing of art, and should look artful. Is not every plant in its present exube rant beauty, the result of man's handicraft and daily-renewed culture? Why, then, should we, according to modern ca price,' strive to give our gardens the appearance of the irre gularity of untamed nature, and place our delicate, and (so to speak) highly-educated floral children in mimic wilder nesses ? Such a style is discordant in itself ; and, moreover, is not in keeping with the sentiment of home, from which a garden is inseparable.—Charles Oliver in Ainsworth's Ma gazine for October. A curious scene occurred before the Tribunal Correctional Police on Saturday. A man, named Claude Giniez. sixty five years of age, was charged with vagabondage. On being asked by the president whether lie had no relations who would undertake to provide for him, and thus prevent his condemnation, he replied, " Relations! don't talk to me of relations ! I had, when young, a cousin, who was a cabinet maker, and who, instead of teaching me his trade, taught me to drink. 1 had another cousin, who was a soldier, and who, soon after my marriage, ran away with my wife and all my savings." The poor fellow was found guilty of the offence charged, and sentenced to twenty-four hours' imprisonment, at the expiration of that time to he transferred to the asylum for the destitute at St. Denis. As he was leaving the bar, grateful for a sentence which provides him with food and shelter for the rest of his life, the name of Catherine Gaillard was called, and an old woman, in rags, was brought up on a similar charge. The eyes of Claude were instantly rivetted on her, whom he thus addressed :—"Faites excuse, madame, but are you the person called Catherine Gaillard ?" The woman having replied in the affirmative, Claude exclaimed, "It is my wife, who left me thirty-five years ago." The following conversation then took place between the old couple :—" What !" said the husband, " can it be you, once fresh as an apple, and with hair as black as jet?" " And are you, old vagabond, my husband ?" " Yes ; your hus band, whom you left to follow my cousin." " A heartless wretch," replied the wife," who beat me dreadfully, and robbed me of all I had." " And what became of the grain ?" "He died on the field of honour." " After robbing me of mine." The president of the tribunal here interrupted the colloquy, and passed the same sentence upon the wife as upon the husband, who will thus pass the remainder of their days under the same roof, and under the same circumstances, after a separation of thirty-five years. STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE RRINE.—We find the fol lowing interesting account of the progressive increase of the steam navigation of the Rhine in the Moniteur :—" In 1816 was started the first steam-boat on the Rhine, running be tween Rotterdam and Cologne. After a lapse of 23 years, there were 39 of these conveyances between Basle and the sea, and this number is annually increasing. The companies rival each other in zeal and attention. The two Prusso- Rhenish establishments, however, have made the most rapid progress iii improvement. The Cologne company commen ced on 1, , May, 1827, with one boat only, between Cologne and Mentz : on the Bth June following it bad two. and in 1837 it possessed rsine, viz., one of 118-horse power, one of 85, two of 80, one of 75, three of 70, and one of 50-horse power. In the same year this company had three departures from, and as many arrivals at, Cologne, and a regular com munication with Strasburg. In the following year i the num ber of boats was increased to 11 ; in 1 839 , to 14 ; n 18-10, to 15; and, in 1841, to 20, passing between Cologne and Stras burg. In 1838, the Cologne company made an association hadwit h t t w h o a t o f running3o.hor 30-horse betweenaptoswer each. BasleFr From mand this period Strasburg, the which pas sage between Basle and Cologne has been made in 40 hours, 29 of which only are spent on board the boats. Shortly af terwards another company . launched two boats, which per formed the same distance in much less time. Th e secon d Prusso-Rhenish company , which had been formed by capita lists of Mentz and Dusseldorf, commenced running in 1838, with five magnificent boats. Once a week one of these goes down to Rotterdam. In 1838 they conveyed no more than 84,000 passengers, and 60,000 metrical quintals of merchan dise; which, in 1840, increased to 152,000 passengers, and 90,000 quintals of merchandise. This was nothing to what was done by the Cologne company; for whereas, in 1827, its transports amounted to 18,000 passengers, and 26,000 quin tals of goods, in 1833 it had 100,000 passengers, and 106,000 quintals on freight ; and in 1840 the number of passengers exceeded 460,000, and the goods on freight 130,000 quintals; and in 1841 these figures increased to 680,000 passengers, and 300,000 quintals. The company which has just been formed at Basle, and which has made a connection with the Mentz and Dusseldorf company, will give a fresh impulse to steam navigation on the Upper Rhine. The Netherlands company (Maatschappy), established at Rotterdam, has tra versed between that city and Cologne ever since 1837, with 11 boats, of from 50 to 12 0-horse power. They run daily ; but one boat a-week is exclusively employed in conveying merchandise. The navigation of the Rhine is carried on to London by boats from Rotterdam, and they make this pas sage with such regularity and rapidity, that they insure a great number of passengers and large quantities of merchan dise on freight."

The import of Potatoes still continues light, both from the Isle of Man and Coastwise. The crop is reported to be exceedingly heavy in the various localities of the usual shipping ports, as well as in the interior of this country, and also on the continent of Europe; and judging from present appearances,we fully anticipate that this root will rule exceedingly low during the greater part of this season. There has been a good retail business transacted overboard to our town trade during this day, at, for Cups, Is. 3d. to Is. 4d. per 90 lbs.. according to quality ; the country dealers not being able to give this figure have remained inactive. The present sudden change in the weather has, in some measure, checked our neighbouring farmers from preparing and sending their usual supplies of produce into our local markets, which has enabled sellers to realize full prices for all descriptions.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, OCTOBER 24. We have had an unusually large supply of Beasts at this day's market, but, generally speaking, of an inferior quality, prime Beef fully supporting last week's prices, while middling and inferior things were much lower. We have had a bad supply of Sheep, with a good demand, at id. per lb. advance. Prime Beef sid. to 6d.; middling, 5d.; inferior, 4d. to 4d. Prime Wethers, NA.; middling, Sheep and Ewes, sd. to 6d. per lb., sinking the offal. Beasts, 2,091 ; Sheep, 5,172. MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 22. The Corn trade during the past week has been much depressed in every market of the kingdom, both agricultural and commer. cial : the low rates at which every article is offered, have as yet produced little or no speculative disposition; and, though current supplies are large, prices have not kept their ground, and there has been no demand beyond what has arisen from the progress of consumption. Good marks or common Flour, at 35s to 365, have been more saleable than the better descriptions, the price of bread having been lowered by many bakers to 5d and sad for the 41bs. loaf. Of Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, it may be said, that there was less anxious pressure, but no increase of business; and the same remark applies to our market this day ; but, though the general tone of the trade was not worse to-day, we have to quote a reduction, since this day week, of 2d per bushel on Wheat, Is per sack and barrel on Flour, and 2d per bushel on Oats. Meal steady, at the quotations of our last. Beans Is per quarter lower. No correct quotation can yet be given of the value of new Malt. Old, very slow of sale.

The stock is exceedingly small, and London appears de termined to monopolise pretty nearly the whole of such quality. Middling and low kind unaltered. Favourite brands of pickled Butter are limited to price about 3s. higher than our last quotation. Holders of foreign and colonial provisions are now anxious to lessen stocks. Very little doing either in these or Irish Beef and Pork. Bacon holds its own with tolerable firmness, 435. to 455. being the value of prime Belfast. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 21 In to-day's market there were exhibited 10 Beasts from Hamburg; but from other quarters no receipts have come to hand this week for sale here. The supply from our own districts being small, the Beef trade was somewhat renovated, and Monday's quotations were firmly supported. Prime old Downs moved off steadily, at full prices; but in other breeds of Sheep exceedingly little was passing, with a scanty number on offer. We had on sale eight Calves re ceived by a steam-vessel from Cork, but their quality being ex tremely inferior, they did not produce more than 3s. per Sibs. ; otherwise the Veal trade was dull, at barely stationary figures. In Pigs scarcely any thing was doing at late rates. Mulch Cows sold at from £l6 to .el 9. los. each, including their small Calf. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 21: The sales of Cotton to-day are estimated at 3000 bales. Tho.e of the week are 16,030, of which speculators have taken 1600 and exporters 500. We cannot quote a decided decline of 1 for this week, though in many places parties are taking offers they refused early in the week, and the market closed exceedingly flat and heavy. COTTON MARKET, Ocrratta 24. Since our last circular the demand for Cotton has somewhat im proved. On Saturday there was a fair attendance of the trade, accompanied by a specnlative inquiry for Surats, in all tiono bales were sold, and to-day the improved tone and feeling has been ap. parent, holders refusing offers which they would have taken last week. The sales to day are estimated at 4000 bales, and the market closes with firmness. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. The mriket continues exceedingly dull and inactive, the demand being chiefly limited to the wants of the Trade ; all descriptions are offered freely, but, as holders refuse to make any further concession, prices remain steady at the quotations of last week. 4no American and 1200 Surat have been taken on speculation, and 300 American and 200 Surat for export. 300 West India and 80 Manilla are declared for auction on Friday next.

There is no alteration to notice this week in the duties on any kind of foreign produce; nor much probability of any material change for some time to come. _ The arrivals of the past few days are almost exclusively from Ireland, whence a fair supply of Oats and Oatmeal has been received, but no increase to the late average quantity of Wheat and Flour, the manufacture of the latter being less practicable, on account of the long dry season, and the con sequent partial insufficiency of water for working the mills ; of foreign grain vessels none have been reported since our last ; and coastwise we have nothing worth - naming fresh in for to-day. Since Tuesday we have experienced only a limited retail inquiry for any article of the trade, and no change has been observable from the quotations of that date. Although our Corn-Exchange this morning was by no means numerously attended by either local or country millers, the Wheat trade assumed a rather steadier aspect than of late ; and in addition to a moderate demand for consump tion, a few parcels of foreign Wheat were disposed of to speculative buyers for future re-sale, at prices nearly, and in son:e instances quite, equal to the current rates of Tues day. English and Irish Wheats also, though not in lively request, were held on the terms then stated. Flour, without any active or extensive business therein, moved off gradually, all descriptions remaining unaltered in value. Malting and Grinding Batley, as well as Malt, appeared to meet a slow, limited demand, and scarcely maintained our last quotations.—Beans and Pease continued to be taken off sparingly at former prices. Induced by the considerable decline in Oats and Oatmeal, during the last few weeks, the operations in both these arti cles were more extensive to-day than of late, and each fully supported the reduced rates noted in Tuesday's circular.
