Vortrp. RURAL SONNET.-NOVEMBER BY MR. J. JONES 'he Cathedral Bell," and other vedies. g—fi rin g—food — At once, unsparingly, and humbly give Prevent the winter cough, the frame-chilled brood Of throes which make it weariness to live. For lo! November, drenched in fogs and raids, Glooms on the air, and incubates the earth ; Days short and fickle nip the labourer's gains, And bring increase—of suffering and of dearth. Lucky the woodman who shall find employ ; The hinds, who stall the kine • or pen the sheep; e young tree ; or, lest the floods destroy, d the drainage, and the courses keep. y, and the bounteous, at this time, d and body-warm, alone, throughout our clime. Prose Postscript.—The modes of complying with two of the above exhortations in behalf of the poor are sufficiently obvious ; but it may, perhaps, be of service to suggest a ge neral rummage of our wardrobes, and old stores, for the purpose of bestowing what can be spared, and what is cast off, upon those to whom, in the wet and cold season now commencing, they will prove benefactions indeed. Again, on the principle of prevention, we should seek out, by our own, or other discreet agency, objects for our bounty, and not wait till almost incurable want or disease has thrust them upon our notice.

The Sculptor shapes, the Poet sings, Hope's anchor sure—Love's agile wings ; " Vain fictions each !" this heart replies ; " 'Tis Love who anchors, Hope that flies ; For Hope long since Love's wings bath taken, Whilst Love bath anchored here forsaken !" THE QUAKERS (From Blackwood's Magazine.) The Quakers pretend to be men of sense, and yet many of their observations are supremely ridiculous. For example, the Quaker prides himself on his dress, on his linen, and the shape of his hat and coat ; all these being made of the finest materials. The Quaker women are as proud of their hideous bonnets as if they were badges of honour ; yet the pretence for all those things is, that they extinguish all pride ! How humility can be connected with the peculiar cut of a coat, colour of a bonnet, or shape of a hat, is utterly inconceivable ; yet this the Quakers pretend to conceive. It is true, that if a peculiar dress were exclusively worn by beggars or crimi. nals, or forced upon any abject portion of the people, as a peculiar dress i forced upon the Jews in Rome, it might be proof of humility to wear that dress ; but there is none in wearing a bonnet of the best silk, a coat of the best cloth, or a bat of the best beaver. But, with all their humility, the Quakers are the proudest of men in other things; they will acknowledge none of the distinctions of society as established by the laws, the convenience, and the common sense of all rational mankind. For instance, they will not call any man my lord, though it is a title awarded by the state, and a peerage is absolutely important to the constitution under which they live. They talk nonsense on such subjects. A Quaker will not take off his hat to any man, because he says it is an acknowledgment of that man's superiority, while every man of common sense knows that it is nothing of the kind, but merely an act of that civility which it is the pro fessed principle of the Quaker to keep up among all mankind. The Quaker will not change the cut of his own clothes for any reason of time or circumstance. This, too, is nonsense ; for though there may be vanity in dressing in what is termed the height of the fashion, there is absurdity in refusing to adapt new convenience or beauty in dress, or the general habit of the age and country, and in stalking through the streets in foolish formality, a sallow emblem of the clownish ness of the last century, laughed at by the young, pitied by the old, and wondered at by every body. It is curious, too, that though the Quaker pretends to keep himself pure on this point, he has no objection whatever to administer to the vanity of others, provided they will pay him for it. Some of the most fashionable hat-makers in London are Quakers ; and though there is not one of them but would declaim against wearing any thing but a broad brim, the whole sanc tity being in the breadth of the beaver, yet there is not one of them that would hesitate a moment to heap danger on the head of the unfortunate sinner who wears a hat with:a leaf as shallow as the top of his snuff-box. A Quaker female would regard wearing a rose-coloured ribbon as an abomina tion before Heaven, but she has no objection to sell every colour of earth or sky to those giddy ones who think that Nature never gave even her colours for nothing, and that the rainbow has not entirely been composed of drab. Tom Paine, speaking of the Quakers, once said, shrewdly enough, " If a Quaker had been consulted in the creation, what a drab-coloured world he would have made it !" The Quaker refuses to address any man by the word sir, because he says this acknowledges the man as master, which hurts his feeling of truth ; and yet he calls every man friend, though he may never have seen him before, which ought to hurt his feelings a great deal more if With were at all concerned in the mat ter, which it is not. It would be a nice question to determine what they are good for on the face of the earth except for eating and drink ing, selling tape and tobacco, and refusing to pay the King's taxes. If by any ill luck Quakers were ever to have the supreme direction of things in this country, a French privateer might scour the coast, burn every ship in the chan nel, and throw red-hot shot into every warehouse ; because the Quaker prime minister would have sent our Nelsons adrift, and cut up our fleets into fagots. Half a dozen French regiments might walk from Dover to London, blow up the Tower, sack the Bank, and carry off the Judges, the Bishops, the Royal Family, and the Queen, to exhibit in the menegerie of the Jardin des Plantes ; for the Quaker would abolish the army, sell the muskets, and confine the defence of the country to the policeman, whom be would not even arm with a bludgeon. _ __ _ _ _ If England were all Quakers, she would have no paintings, no sculpture, no architecture, for Quakerism abhors them all ; it has never produced any man of capacity in any art whatever, except the art of amassing money. We should have no books, for who ever heard of a Quaker author whos' lucubrations were worth a peppy ? We should have vention in science, for of science the Quakers know nothing -------, - and. have never attempted to know any thing. We should kave no oratory, no divinity, no history, no poetry; for some of those the Quakers utterly eschew, and in all the rest nature seems to have denied them any proficiency whatever. If Quakers had been our masters for the last three hundred years, what a dismal blank our history would have been ; we should have stood still, scarcely escaped from barbarism, for the Quaker never makes any advance. We should have been either extinguished by France, Spain, or Germany, and lived in the dismal slavery of men who had neither arms to use, nor manliness to use them if they had; or we should have stagnated into a great moral swamp, a weedy marsh, covered with drab at top, and filled with mire at bottom. Our Nel sons and Wellingtons, our Drydens and Popes, our Rey noldses and Lawrences, our Fuselis and Flaxmans, our Pitts and Foxes, would all have been little pale-faced boys, sharp in the first four rules of arithmetic—grawing into fat pale faced men—cunning in the art of selling tape and tobacco — and finally withering down into mere automatons, alive to no feeling but the price of stocks, and namelessly drying up into the dust of which they were made. UNREQUITED LOVE The following singular "romance in real life" appears itt the .Derry Journal. The legend of St. Kevin and Kathleen, with " eyes of most unholy blue," has at length been paral led :—There are now, or were lately, in the Waterside two persons whose joint history is not unlike that of Jason and Medea, only the female party has none of that fell spirit of vengeance which burned in the bosom of the Colchian sorce ress. Their names are James Connell and Bridget M'Guire; he a carpenter, and she, by courtesy, a spinster. To escape the persecution of her blandishments, he has had to fly from place to place ; and she, with the sure instinct of a sleuth hound, has tracked him wherever he went, and insists that she shall have the beatitude of at least gazing on his face, which, we may state, is not exactly that of an Endymion. This gazing she declares is all that she wants, and maintains that there is no law to stand in the way , of that enjoyment. The fatigue, privations, and grief which she has endured, must have brought her to her grave had she not been sustai ned by her singular infatuation. The parties had lived toge ther in the house of Connell's brother in the parish of Crough. county of Limerick, where it is probable they became mutu ally enamoured ; but, at length, he took French leave of her and repaired to Newcastle-on -Tyne, whither she followed him, and on their first interview she begged him only to allow her to study and doat on the lines of his countenance ; but there being a passiveness in this very irreconcilable with his active habits, be again fled, and found refuge, as he believed. it! Dublin. rhere'also he was overtaken 13y his inamorata ; and; on a charge of being amorously stared at, he had her several times committed to prison, and once had her confined in the county lunatic asylum. Two years passed over their beads in this manner, when there seemed to be a revival of affection on his part ; for they went together to Liverpool, and there lodged in the same house. His former aversion re turned, however, and in the beginning of August last he fled to Derry, where, in a snug retreat in the Bogside, he fondly hoped he would be secure against the lady's intrusion. Most fallacious that hope was I In a few days she appeared in his apartment, and like Margaret's ghost, commenced staring at her victim. He had then employment at the new barracks ; and, as he went to and came from his work, she was never absent from his side, and when he was at his meals she sat at the table, with her eyes upraised to the cause of her enchantment, but never partook of the food which was before him. This mesmerizing process having become intolerable to Mr. Connell. he applied to the mayor fora summons against her, and, having employed a professional gentleman to conduct his case, his fellow-workmen clubbed their money to engage another on behalf of the defendant. The issue was that he was nonsuited. He had removed from the Bogside, and taken lodgings in the Waterside, where both be and she have been nearly these three months on their usual terms of attraction on one side, and repulsion on the other. He al lows her neither meat nor drink, nor does he pay for her lodgings ; while her delight is to pas s with him, as he goes to and from his work —to sit outside his workshop when he is there; and, when not admitted into his lodging along with him, to sit in the street opposite to it, which she often does for whole nights. We hear that she has experienced kind ness both from the lodging-h o usekeeper and th e ne i g hb ours . On the 15th ult. , the authorities found it necessary to com mit..L hero t h e county gaol, where, fo r t h ree days and nights, she rejected all sustenance by ; and aßot the end of th a t time, after having gan, was set at been visited Dr. large. The co °fit:ten:Lent has produeed no chan ge i n her con d that she is a con duct. It ought to be sta tedremarka bly pretty , woman, and, but for the eccentricities, lle have just r we have he mentioned , that the her conduct has been faultles s • sensitive, but obdurate Mr. Connell has again fled. TEE BEES AND THE BISHOP.—The following anecdote will afford both amusement and instruction. Nye copy it from a very clever work, called " The Bee -keeper s . quide :" "A very old French bishop, in paying h is annual visit to his clergy, was very much afflicted by the representations they made of their extreme poverty ; which, indeed, the appearance of their houses and families corroborated. Whilst he was deploring the state of things which had reduced them to this sad condition, he arrived at the house of a curare, who, living amongst a poorer set of parishioners than any he had yet visited, would, he feared, be in still more woeful plight than the others ; contrary, however, to his expectations, he found appearances very much improved ; everything about the house b wore the as p ec t o f comfort and plenty. The good bishop waa amazed. ' How is this, my friend ? said he, YOU are the first man that I have met with a Jeerful face and a plentiful board. Have you any income independent your cure ?" Yes, Sir,' said the clergyman, ' I have ; my family would starve on the pittance I receive from the poor people I instruct ; come with me into the garden, and I will show you the stock that yields me an excellent interest.' On going to the garden he showed the bishop a large range of bee-hives. There is the bank,' he continued, from which I draw my annual dividend —it never stops payraeut.' Ever after that memorable visit, when any of his clergy complained to the bishop , of poverty, he would say to them, ' Keep bees ! keep bees !" Author of " Spartam SECOND EDITION. Standard-o f fice, Three o'Clock --.Rip LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular The duty on Wheat and Flour has now attained the highest pint of 20s. per quarter, and 12s. Oil per barrel, which is the only alteration there is to notice in the import rates this Upon a partial change of wind, we have a fair increase of) Wheat and Oats, with a few parcels of Flour, and a rather large addition of Oatmeal, from Ireland. We have also to report a good supply of Barley and Malt, coastwise ; but, within the last three days, no fresh arrivals have appeared from abroad. • Between Tuesday last and to-day little actual busines occurred in any branch of the trade with consumers ; and though some disposition was manifested to purchase Wheats on speculation, neither the choice of samples nor the terms of holders were sufficiently liberal to promote any extensive operations. Upon a very slender attendance of both town and country millers this morning, the Wheat trade assumed an extremely dull aspect ; and although the importers of foreign Wheats were tolerably firm, adhering in most instances to our last quotations, which the buyers decidedly refused to pay, the transactions were altogether trivial, and, had sales been prac ticable, rather easier terms must have been conceded. Eng lish and Irish new Wheats, also, were more difficult to sell, and losing the advance realised on Tuesday, reverted to the currency noted on the Ist instant. Flour, in like manner, moved off very sparingly, and any description barely sustained late prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, exciting very little atten. tion, were the turn cheaper. Oats, being rather more plentiful, and the buyers an ticipating further arrivals, the demand was limited, and all sorts declined in value id. per 451bs. Oatmeal, iu conse quence of the large supply at hand, receded 6d. per 2401b5., 225. 6d. being the extreme price obtainable to-day.

MISCELLANEOUS Lord Blayney is very ill at his seat, near Monaghan, Ire land. On Tuesday, Alderman Humphrey was sworn into the office of Lord Mayor of London, with the usual ceremonies. In the space of about a month church-rates have been granted at four of the five parishes in Derby, viz., St. Peter, St. Werburgh, St. Alkmund, and All Saints. Mr. R. Thomas, barrister-at law, has applied for the coif, being entitled, according to his seniority at the bar to claim that grade. The extensive mills of Messrs. James Dennison and Co., near Limerick, were consumed by fire on Thursday. The loss is estimated at £4OOO, which is covered by insurance. The house of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have sent out an agent to endeavour to effect some settlement of the foreign debt of Buenos Ayres. All those who were sentenced to be transported a t the Special Commission (even for 7 years) are to be sent to Van Dieman's Land. It is stated tha Earl of Leicester and on of the Earl of Durham. and the lady somewhat y( apis between )f the Ladies Lainbton, daughter Earl is in his twentieth year, Hannah Roberts, now under sentence of death in Flint shire for poisoninz her husband, has been further respited by Baron Gurney, from November 5 to the 14th of January The following important announcement was lately exhibi ted in a cellar window of this town :—" A new Skool held hear eery nite, but Sunde nite, tuppuns a weke, them as lerns maners tuppuns moar."—Preston Chronicle. Ou Sunday night a daring act of sacrilege was committed at Chertsey Church. The whole of the sacramental plate was stolen. A reward of £5O has been offered for the dis covery of the property. The will of the late Earl of Leicester has been proved, and the personal property sworn under £60,000. The Earl states in his will, that he has lately expended £500,000 in the im provement of his estates. We hear that Miss Bryers, the contriver of the " Bristol hoax," is gone to her friends in her native place, Chester, in such an ill state of health as to create apprehensions that it will terminate fatally.—Bristol Journal. GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—The Marquis of Breadalbane was formally re-stalled Lord Rector of the Glasgow Univer sity on Wednesday, within the College buildings, in presence of the various professors, and the students attending the dif ferent classes in the institution, who compose his lordship's constituents. THE WRECK or THE Isis.—The passengers of the West Indian mail-steamer Medway have presented to Messrs. Sawyer and Day, second and third officers of that vessel, handsome sextants, as a slight mark of their admiration of the gallant manner in which those gentlemen leaped into a raging sea, at the imminent peril of their lives in thd hope of saving that of the boy who was drowned in endeavouring to get on board the Medway from the Isis. LONDON COURT OF ALDERMEN.—On Thursday a Court was held at three o'clock. Alderman Copeland presented a Petition against certain persons who kept open a clothes exchange in the neighbourhood of Cutler-street, and exposed clothes for sale in houses in that vicinity on the Sabbath. It was referred to the City Solicitor. After some discussion, it was resolved that a Committee should at the request of Alderman T. Wood, be appointed to investigate the charges made against him with respect to the Talacre Mining Com pany.—Adjourned. " The Chapel Royal affair" of August last, when an in valided young clergyman was mobbed through the streets of Brighton, is immediately to come on in the Common Pleas. Mr. Moore, sen., has forborne his action against Mr. Drum mond, in order to become a principal witness. Mr. Drum mond has declined stating the origin of the cruel outrage, or to bear any expense whatever, which we hear is now very considerable. The learned Sergeant Talfourd has done all he could to bring abont an amicable adjustment, but he has been unsuccessful. —Morning Paper. St James's Church, Bradford, was consecrated on Mon day week, by the Lord Bishop of Ripon. It is an elegant edifice, situated in the township of Houton, a little to the left of the road leading from Bradford to Halifax. It was built at the sole cost of John Wood, Esq., and the first stone of it was laid by him, October 31, 1836. The whole ex pense of erecting the church and parsonage-house and school room attached to it (inclusive of the cost of the land,) amounted to nearly £14,000. In addition to the original outlay, the living has been very liberally endowed by the founder, we believe, with at least £250 per annum. TARTAN RIBBONS.—The gracious condescension of our amiable and beloved SOVEREIGN in patronizing the national colours of the far-north, has not been without its effect, even in this more southern region. The general and increasing demand for tartan ribbons has given full occupation to num bersof her MAJESTY'S industrious and loyal subjects, who _ . would otherwise have been without employment; and having this week seen some most splendid specimens of the patterns peculiar to the different clans, manufacturing in this City for one of the most fashionable west-end houses, we feel certain that the good taste of the QUEEN will be universally adopted by her fair countrywomen, who will find abundant exercise for their own in the numerous and excellent varieties of the tartan produced by our looms.—The Coventry Standard. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A FATHER BY A SON.— On Thursday morning, a rumour, from some circumstances, became prevalent that an attempt at murder had been made by a lad of the name of Brabner, residing in the Watergate, upon his father, which induced the authorities to make in vestigation into the matter, the result of which was, that it was found necessary to commit him. From what we can learn of the matter, the son had been for some time addicted to intemperate habits,: and came home to his father on Sunday morning, requesting some money from him. The father refused, and locked him in a room to prevent him from going out l again not such as t ; but he got hold of a shoemaker's knife, by means ~, Which 'he managed to open the door, and rushing upon his father drew it across his throat. Fortunately, however, although the wound inflicted was a very alarming one, it was we.l.—Perdeprive him of life. Dr. Halket was immedi ately sent f or, o who sewed it up, and the father is now doing Courier. DISSENT versus SUBORDINATION.—In the political ar ticle in Blackwood for the present month—" Revolt of the " By the way, upona Workers''—the following we were struck with t:e as remarkable observations occur : l ual glance at the lists of prisoners, course they were almost all proportion of Irishmen.

As we can in fairness scarcely call upon either Leag uers or Ch ar ti s t s t o prove a negative, we shall endeavour to test these factsf ourour selves, but we shall be glad of the assistanc e o f any o friends in drawing up the " moral map." The chaplains of jails could probably supply the information at once. HIGH BAILIFF FOR SOUTRWARK.-011 Monday, a court of common council was held for the purpose of electing a bailiff for the borough of Southwark. Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, Mr. Payne, and Mr. Prichard were the candidates. In conformity with the standing order, the candidates were reduced to two, on a show of hands, which was declared in favor of the two latter gentlemen. At the termination of t polling, the votes were for Mr. Prichard, 87, for Mr. Pay 79, and the Lord Mayor, therefore, declared Prichard duly elected High Bailiff of Southwark. INCOME TAX.—The following communication has been received by Mr. Murray, inspector of taxes here :—" Stamps and Taxes, Edinburgh, Nov. 4, 1842. Sir,—Referring to letters of 27th and 28th ultimo, and preceding letters on the same subject to which they relate, and having referred to the board the questions contained in these letters for their opinion, I am now enabled to acquaint you that tenants are not authorised to deduct the income tax from their rents un til they have paid it, nor are the owners of lands subject to annuities entitled to deduct the tax from such annuities until they have allowed the same ; but I have to observe that, in the case of interest on a bond, it is otherwise, as the debtor is entitled, on payment of the interest, to retain thereout 7d. in the pound, although he may not at the time have paid the tax lam also to inform you the board are of opinion that the duty can be deducted only on such portions' of the inter est and and annuities as shall have accrued from the sth of April last to the day of payment.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant, THOMAS PENDLR. Charles H. Murray, Esq., inspector of taxes, Glasgow.— Glasgow Herald. Two PERSONS POISONED AT GUYIIURN, NEAR WIS.. BECH.—A very serious case of poisoning occurred onSun day last, at Guyhirn. It appears that a man of the name of Wm. Newborough, a shoemaker, his wife, a grandchild, and a little girl, the daughter of a neighbour, sat down to dinner composed of a piece of pork, with a pudding baked under it ; they had hardly finished eating of the pudding before they were all seized with a violent vomiting. A messenger was immediately despatched to Wisbech for medical assistance, and Mr. W. 011ard was promptly in attendance, who admi nistered the necessary remedies and left them apparent'y better. In the evening he was again sent for, the man and woman being taken much worse, but before he could arrive the man had died, and the woman was in such a state as could leave no possible hopes of her recovery ; she expired in great pain about one hour after Mr. 011ard had left. The bodies were examined on Tuesday, when the state of the stomach left no doubt as to the fact of their having taken some mineral poison. A very respectable jury met on Tues day ; after having examined three or four witnesses, which occupied until six at night, the inquest was adjourned until Thursday. Various rumours are afloat of a suspicious cha racter against one or two parties, but we refrain from stating names. The children were very ill after partaking of the pudding, but we are happy to say they are now out of danger. CAUTION TO SERVANTS.—Some days ago a young woman called at a respectable house in St. Patrick's-square, offering small wares to sell, and, telling one of the servants that her mother was in the Infirmary very ill, begged a little tea and sugar for her. These the servant said she had not to give, but, afterwards by strong implorings, was persuaded to give her an empty beer bottle which was standing in the kitchen. Shortly afterwards the women returned, and the servant girl that her sister and herself had been taken to the police office, suspected of having stolen the bottle, and that unless she could get some money to relieve her sister, they must all appear at the police-court, where, if the truth was told, the servant would be charged with robbing her master of the bot tle. By working upon the poor girl's fears in this way, and repeatedly returning, she contrived to wring at different times upwards of 10s. from her, along with two gowns and a shawl. But, not being satisfied with this, she afterwards got two gowns and a petticoat from the girl's fellow-servant. Getting tired, however, of this continued draining, the sufferer at length told the family the whole circumstances, who imme diately gave notice to the police, and the two swindlers were yesterday apprehended, one wearing a tartan gown, the pro perty of one of the girls. Pawn-tickets for other parts of the property were also found, and the two were locked up for further examination. Their names are Margaret M'Queen cl Mary Goodwin, the latter of whom is sown as an old offender, and practised a similar trick upon a servant in Cla rence-street some time ago, from whom she extracted upwards of 20s.—Caledonian Mercury Mr. William Hone, the well-known author of the Every- Day Book, and other popular works, died on Sunday last at his house in Grove-place, Tottenham, after a long illness any much suffering, which he bore with the most exemplary patience. In early life he was celebrated as one of the first satirical writers of the day ; his " Political House that Jack built " went through upwards of fifty editions ; and it is said, that by illustrating this and similar works the fame of George Cruikshank was first established. By putting one of his satires into the form of the Liturgy of the Church of Eng land, he was prosecuted for blasphemy; and his trial before Lord Ellenborough, which lasted three days, and in which he successfully defended himself in person, with the greatest ability, may 6e considered one of the causes celebresof this country. When Dr. Stodart established the paper, now ex tinct, called the New Times, Mr. Hone published an admir able burlesque of it, in the form of a newspaper, called the Slap at Slop, by which he gave a nickname to, and effectually demolished, that very frothy and pompous person. Having abandoned his career as a satirist, he appeared in later years as the editor of the Every-Day Book, the Year-Book, and the Table-Book, three works, all on the same principle of giving antiquarian information in a popular form, and all ex hibiting the indefatigable perseverance and research of Mr. Hone. The Every-Day Book, in which the information given is connected with the days in the year, may be con sidered as a standard library book. Towards the close of his life, he became one of the conductors of the Patriot newspaper, and in this situation he continued till increasing infirmity, occasioned not so much by years as by the unre mitting labours of his life, caused him to retire from every active pursuit. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOV ERY, AND REMARKABLE CASE OF FRAUD. — Considerable sensation has been created in consequence of the discovery of a piece of villany and fraud, which, we rejoice to say, is but of rare occurrence in a com mercial city. Our readers will recollect that, between three and four years ago, one of the tellers in a bank in town, on balancing up the transactions of the day, found himself minus of upwards of one thousand pounds, The occurrence, at the time, gave rise to a good deal of speculation, as it was evi dent to the parties who were acquainted with the teller, and from the good character he possessed, that he must have iven the money in mistake to some one„ when making pay - , had the away with Nlo one, in t of makii ments in the course of business most distant thought that he was guil it. The question, then, was, who had got the money, and notwithstanding that every means were used, no trace could be had, and after a time the search was abandoned as hope less.

Yapp with who 3g for about eight or ten child, after it had lived a few days, she dest _ ing it, after which she and Yapp buried it beneath the pa ment of the brewbouse. The wretched woman further added that she had been the mother of five children by the same man, all of whom she had murdered at their birth, and, with Yapp's assistance had buried their bodies at senarate spots beneath the floor of the brewhouse, and near a barn adjoining her cottage. These horrid confessions seemed, from their unexampled atrocity, to be more like the ravings of delirium than truth ; but upon information being given to the police, and a search being made in the spots indicated by the un natural woman, the skeletons of her six murdered offspring were all found and stamped truth upon a t a l e too h orr i d e l se for belief. Upon this Yapp was taken i nto custo d y, an d a policeman, we believe, remained to take chirge of the woman, who repeated her confession to her sister and afterwards to the policeman, Fowler. The facts were intimated to J. Cook, Esq., and a warrant was issued for summoning a jury to hold an inquest. By this time, however, the woman, Fran ces Bennett, had recovered in a measure her hardihood of character, and on the inquest, which was held on Tuesday last, she positively denied that she had e ver g i ven bi rt h to any children, except to two which she bore to her late hus band, and which were alive now, and she strongly persisted that she had never made any communication su c h as th a t above stated, either to her sister, to the policeman Fowler, or to the clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Formby. The latter gentleman was examined by the coroner, and deposed as above ; and he further admitted that the woman had subse quently made further disclosures and confessions to him, but as they were made to him in his spiritual capacity, be must decline to divulge them. After, without effect, endeavouring to prevail upon Mgifformby to state all that the woman had told him, and of unavailing remonstrances against the withholding of evidence, the coroner left the point as it stood, and passed on to the examination of the sister to Francis Bennett, whose evidence was to the effect, that, on Saturday, the 29th of October she was with her sister, who had been in a weak state of health for some time, and had been confined to her bed about a week; that, before Mr. Formby called, her sister made an alarm, and exclaimed that she would have her dead children dug up and buried in the churchyard. She said that, immediately after the infants were born, she held them under water till they were dead, and then she and Yapp buried them. She added that the last of the six child ren was not served in this way, but lived for two days ; that it was weakly, and she gave it some arsenic and it died ; that Yapp was very sorry when he found that this child was dead, and said he would not have lost it for £5O ; and that they both together buried the child in the brewhouse. At this stage of the proceedings it was thought advisable to adjourn the inquiry, in order to afford opportunity for further and more deliberate inquiry into the circumstances of the myste rious and very extraordinary case, and the inquest was accor dingly adjourned till Wednesday, the 9th instant —Gloucester Chronicle. but of all the genuine contributions of the Americ vernacular dictionary, the word "fix" " Will you try, said my opposite neighbour, uanuing me dish of potatoes, broken up in milk and butter, will you try some of these fixings ?' There are few words which perform such various duties as this word fix.' It is the Caleb Quo tem of the American vocabulary. You call upon a gentle man in a country town, and_ his help informs you that he is their own favourite t fixing hirosele just now, but will be down directly ; by which you are to understand that he is dressing. You en quire on board a steam-boat, of a fellow passenger, whether breakfast will be ready soon, and he tells you he should think so, for when he was last below they were ' fixing the tables;' in other words, laying the cloth. Beg a porter to collect your luggage, and he entreats you not to be uneasy, for he'll fix it presently ;' and if you complain of indisposi tion, you are advised to have recourse to Doctor So-and-so, who will fix you in no time.' One night I ordered a bottle of mulled wine at an hotel where 1 was staying, and waited a long time for it ; at length it was put upon the table, with an apology from the landlord that he feared it was not fixed properly.' I recollect once, at a stage-coach dinner, over hearing a very stern gentleman demand of a waiter who pre sented him with a plate of underdone roast beef, whether he called that fixing God A'mighty's vittles ?' " AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PRESS.—When any man of any grade of desert, in intellect or character, can climb to any public distinction, no matter what, in America, without first grovelling down upon the earth and bending the knee before this monster of depravity ; when any private excellence is safe from its attacks; when any social confidence is left un broken by it, or any tie of social decency and honour is held in the least regard ; when any man in that free country has freedom of opinion, and presumes to think for himself and speak for himself, without humble reference to a censorship which, for its rampant ignorance and base dishonesty, he utterly loathes and despises in his heart ; when those who most acutely feel its infamy and the reproach it casts upon the nation, and who most denounce it to each other, dare to set their heels upon and crush it openly in the sight of all men; then I will believe that its influence is lessening, and men are returning to their manly senses. But while that press has its evil eye in every house, and its black hand in every appointment in the State, from a President to a post man—while with ribald slander for its only stock in trade, it is the standard literature of an enormous class, who must find their reading in a newspaper or they will not read it at all—so long must its odium be upon the country's head, and so long must its odium be plainly visible in the republic. To those who are accustomed to the leading English journals, or to the respectable journals of the Continent of Europe—to those who are accustomed to any thing else in print and paper—it would be impossible, without an amount of extract, for which I have neither space nor inclination, to convey an adequate idea of this frightful engine in America.—Dickens's Notes on America. THE PALI LANGUAGE.—CabraI, is the name of a place, occurs in the book of Joshua, chapter xix., verse 27, and Mr. Masson remarks that many localities in Affghanistan bear scriptural names. He notices Zoar, Shinar, Gaza, Sheva, Sidim, Tabar, Aman, Kergha, and concludes that these names were borne by the localities when they became first known to the Israetites, and that they were not conferred by them. The question instantly occurs, what names then are they? Mr. Masson replies, Pali names, given by the Pali settlers in the region called Palistan, the land of the Pali— our Palestine. We will pause to remark, that evidences of the existence of this ancient people are scattered over the globe, and to that most important of uses might the collec tion of these indications be consecrated—namely, to the elucidation of the early history of mankind, and the confir mation of the Biblical narrative of the origin and progression of the human race. In Tyre we have Palitar, the Pali tower or fort. The Palatine Hill of Rome is that Palitan, the Pali town over the ruins of which Rome was built. The Pali spread themselves over ancient Scythia. Recent dis coveries in India and Central Asia have proved that the lan guage of those countries at the period of the Macedonian conquests was Pali ; Pali words occur in the vocabulary of the savages of Western Australia, as we noticed by our re view of the travels of Captain Grey ; and traces of the same ancient tongue are discernible in the language of the red man of North America. The common origin of the Tartar, the North American Indian, and the Australian aborigines, may thus be traced, and a ready refutation given to the scepticism of Humboldt and the Erench physiologists on that point. An industrious reader will find throughout Mr. Masson's volumes many valuable notices to serve for the illustration of the theory we have taken so many occasions to inculcate, which, perhaps, it would be more correct not to designate a theory, but a confirmation by existing evidence of the facts recordedln_the sacred Scriptures.—From an article in the Times of Friday THE.

"rhe cutting-out machines now begin their work. There are twelve of these engines in the elegant room set apart for them, all mounted on the same basement, and forming a circular range. Here the bars or strips are cut into pieces of the proper shape and weight for the coining-press, and then taken to the sizing room to be separately weighed, as well as sounded on a cir cular piece of iron, to detect any flaws. The protecting- r i m is nest raised in the merking room, and the pieces, after blanching and annealing, are ready for stamping. The coin ing -room is a magnificent looking place, with its columns and its great iron beams, and the presses ranging along its solid stone basement. There are eight presses, each of them making, when required, sixty or seventy (or even more) strokes in a minute ; and as at each stroke a blank is made a perfect coin—that is to say, stamped on both sides and milled on the edge—each press will c o i n b e t ween f our an d five thousand pieces within the hour, or the whole eight be tween thirty and forty thousand. And t o accomp li s h t h ese mighty results the attention of one little boy alone is required, who stands in a sunken place before the press, supplying it with blanks.—Knight's London. SLEEP OF ANIMALS AND MAN.-MOSt animals sleep more than man ; some indeed for months—as the hiberna ting tribes of bats, dormice, marmots, and bears. Cats and dogs would seem to have the faculty at will, as have some idiots and persons of a low order of intellect. The ideas or impressions upon their minds are so feeble or so few, or are made at such long intervals, that succession is lost for want of continuity ; hence the organ retains imperfectly, and but for an instant, the image which the external senses have pre sented to it ; weariness supervenes, unconsciousness follows, nd lastly, sleep, as a necessary consequence of inanition, is It is observed, however, that monkeys do not sleep as much as other animals. Whence is this apparent deviation from the ordinary law of nature affecting animals ? Is a monkey a reasoning animal? Observe a dog chained : he twists his chain, shortens it, and cuts himself off from his platter. Does he seek to untwist it, to restore the links to their wonted extension ? No : he continues tugging and owling till some friendly hand frees him from his toils, and restores him to his former range. But how is it with the monkey under similar difficulties? Why, he deliberately un twists the chain which he cannot sunder, and hence evinces something like reason.__ls the sleeplessness of monkeys then . - a proof Of reason ? We think so. But infants are fre quently sleepless ? Yes ; but never in a state of health. Restlessness in them is always an indication of hunger, or a symptom of disease. The absence of sleep cannot be long sustained. Damiens slept on the rack; Luke in his iron crown ; and a battalion of infantry have been known to slumber during a march ! Muleteers frequently sleep on their mules, post-boys on their horses, and seamen " on the high and giddy mast." " Massa call you," said a negro to his comrade who had fallen asleep near him : " Sleep has no massa," replied the wearied boy; and be was right. We may bear the privation of fire, food, and even drink, longer rs, which than we can the wan t of sleep.—Dr. Binn's Anatomy of i I sheep d by poison CAN BOOTMAKER.—I wanted a pair of boot at a certain town, for I had none to travel in but those with the memorable cork soles, which were too hot for the fiery decks of a steam-boat. I therefore cent a message to an artist hi boots, importing, with my compliments, that I should be happy to see him, if he would do me the polite favour to call.. He very kindly returned for answer, that he would " look round ' at six o'clock that evening. I was lying on the sofa, with a book and a wine.glass, at about that time, when the door opened, and a gentleman in a stiff cra vat, within a year or two on either side of 30, entered, in his hat and gloves ; walked up to the looking-glass ; arranged his hair; took off his gloves; slowly produced a measure from the uttermost depths of his coat pocket ; and requested me, in a languid tone, to " unfix "my straps. I complied, but looked with some curiosity at his hat, which was still upon his head. It might have been that, or it might have been the heat—but he took it off. Then he sat himself down on a chair opposite to me ; rested an arm on each knee ; and, leaning forward very much, took from the ground, by a great effort, the specimen of metropolitan workmanship which I had just pulled off—whistling, pleasantly, as he did so. He turned it over and over ; surveyed it with a contempt no lan guage can express; and inquired if I wished him to fix me a boot like that ? I courteously replied, that provided the boots were large enough, I would leave the rest to him ; that, if convenient and practicable, I should not object to their bear ing some resemblance to the model then before him ; but that I would be entirely guided by, and would beg to leave the whole subject to his judgment and discretion. " You an't partickler about this scoop in the heel, I suppose, then ?" says he ; " we don't fuller that here. I repeated my last observation. He looked at himself in the glass again ; went closer to it to dash a grain or two of dust out of the corner of his eye ; and settled his cravat. All this time my leg and foot were in the air. " Nearly ready, sir ?" I inquired. " Well, pretty nigh," he said ; " keep steady." I kept as steady as I could, both in foot and face; and having by this time got the dust out, and found his pencil-case, he measured me, and made the necessary notes. When he had finished, he fell into his old attitude, and, taking up the boot again, mused for some time. " And this," he said, at last, "is an English boot, is it? This is a London boot, eh? " " That, sir," I replied, " is a London boot." He mused over it again, after the manner of Hamlet with borick's skull ; nodded his head, as who should say, " I pity the institutions that led to the production of this boot ! rose, put up his pencil, notes, and paper—glancing at himself in the glass all the time—put on his hat, drew on his gloves very slowly, and finally walked out. When he had been gone about a minute, the door re opened, and his hat and his head reappeared. He looked round the room, and at the boot again, which was still lying on the floor; appeared thoughtful for a minute, and then said, " Well! Good arternoon." " Good afternoon, sir," said I ; and that was the end of the interview.--. Box. HIASTAOTOUTEHOIC—This is the name of a Chinese plant, the root of which is said to change, at a certain time, into a worm. M. Reaumur has given it the name of Plante ver in the French, but he discovered the error of supposing such a transformation ; the whole truth of the case being, that a certain caterpillar, when about to change into the chrysalis state, so nicely joins itself to the root of this plant as to appear a part of it. i n k I INDIFFERENCE OF A SEA-SICK TRAVELLER.—Nothing would have surprised me. If, in the momentary illumina tion of any ray ofintelligence that may have come upon me in the way of thoughts of home, a goblin postman, with a scarlet coat and belt, had come into that little kennel before me, broad awake in broad day, and apologising for being damp through walking in the sea, had handed me a letter, directed to myself in familiar characters, I am certain I should not have felt one atom of astonishment : I should have been perfectly satisfied.

There was a little woman on board, with a little baby: and both little woman and little child were cheerful, good looking, bright-eyed, and fair to see. The little woman had been passing a long time with her sick mother in New York, and had left her home in St. Louis in that condition in which ladies who truly love their lords desire to be. The baby was born in her mother's house, and she had not seen her husband (to whom she was now returning) for twelve months, having left home a month or two after their marriage. Well, to be sure, there never was a little woman so full of hope, and tenderness and love, and anxiety, as this little woman was : and all day long she wondered whether " He" had got her letter ; and whether if she sent the baby ashore by somebody else, " He" would know it, meeting it in the street; which, seeing that he had never set eyes upon it in his life, was not very likely in the abstract, but was probable enough to the young mo ther. She was such an artless little creature, and was in such a sunny, beaming, hopeful state, and let out all this matter clinging close about her heart so freely that all the lady pas sengers entered into the spirit of it as much as she, and the captain (who heard all about it from his wife) was wondrous sly, I promise you; inquiring, every time we met at table, as if in forgetfulness, whether she expected any one to meet her at St. Louis, and whether she would want to go ashore the night we reached it (but he supposed she wouldn't) and cutting many other dry jokes of that nature. There was one little weazen, dried-apple-faced old woman, who took occasion to doubt the constancy of husbands in such circum stances of bereavement ; and there was another lady (with a lap dog) old enough to moralize on the lightness of human affection, and yet not so old that she could help nursing the baby now and then, or laughing with the rest when the little woman called it by its father's name, and asked it all manner of fantastic questions concerning bim in the joy of her heart. It was something of a blow to the little woman, that when we were within twenty miles of our destination, it became clearly necessary to put this baby to bed. But she got over it with the same good humour ; tied a handkerchief round her head, and came out into the little gallery with the rest. Then, such an oracle she became in reference to the localities; and such facetiousness as was displayed by the mar ried ladies ; and such sympathy as was displayed by the single ones; and such peals of laughter as the little woman herself (who would just as soon have cried) greeted every jest with. At last there were the lights of St. Louis, and here was the wharf, and those were the steps ; and the little woman covering her face with her hands,and laughing (or seeming to laugh) more than ever, ran into her own cabin, and shut herself up. I have no doubt that in the charming inconsis tency of such excitement she stooped her ears, lest she should hear " Him" asking for her, but I did not see her do it. Then, a great crowd of people rushed on board, though the boat was not made fast, but was yet wandering about, among the other boats, to find landing place : and everybody look ed for the husband : and nobody saw him : when in the midst of us all—Heaven knows how she ever got there— there was the little woman clinging with both arms tight round the neck of a fine, good-looking, sturdy young fellow ! and in in a moment afterwards there she was again, actually clapping her little hands for joy, as she dragged him through the small door of her small cabin, to look at the baby as he lay asleep !—Dickens's Notes.

The demand throughout the week for English Wheat was tolerably brisk, particularly for fine samples, and prices of this article consequently assumed a firmer tendency. For Foreign Wheat there was also a very good trade, at prices from is to 2s per qr. higher than those of the prceding week. Barley remained tolerably steady, but Oats were not to to be bought on Friday under rates of decided improvement to those of Monday. In Beans or Peas there was no alteration during the week worthy of notice here, the trade for these articles being merely to satisfy immediate wants, and the supply being sufficient for this purpose, prices re mained perfectly stationary. . The trade this morning opened brisk for English Wheat, and the supply has been taken off at about 2s advance above the rates of this day week. Barley has met a tolerable free sale, at prices fully as high as those of last Monday. Oats are held firmly at 6d to Is higher than Friday's prices, but the sales have been slow at the advadce. Beans are not quite so free a sale as last week, but prices are unaltered. White Peas small in supply, with a slack demand. Maple Peas are fully is dearer. In seeds or Flour there is no alteration worthy of record ; the demand for the former has not been brisk. Corn Market, November 9 The market has exhibited the appearance of returning firmness this morning, and the supplies being small there is an advance of full is per quarter on Wheat and Oats. The low prices of Wheat have caused orders to arrive for the bonded article, and the ware houses are nearly cleared, which, with the exhaustion of the free foreign Wheat, has caused a decided turn in the trade, and con siderably higher prices appear to be expected by the leading factors at Mark-lane. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 7 The supply of homs bred Beasts at market to-day was much less than last week, the difference being nearly ionio head. The graziers are said to have been alarmed by the very low prices which their Beasts have fetched in consequence of so extensive a supply for the last two weeks, and acting with caution forwarded sparingly for this day's market. Should they continue to act thus for a week or two, it is confidently expected that trade will restored to its former tone. The decreased number on sale to day caused a little more briskness in trade, which fully bears out this opinion. No advance in price, however, was obtainable, as the butchers are well stocked for the week. Nearly all sold by the close of the market. Of Sheep the supply was large, equal to the number on offer last week, but the quality was only second rate. A few prime Southward Ewes were brought by the west end butchers at 4s 4d per stone, but on an average the best description at market cannot be quoted higher than 4s 2d. Veal was a very dull sale, and a reduction of full 6d per stone failed to re-animate the trade. Pork, on the contrary, commanded a ready sale at former currencies. • LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE NOVEMBER 8 Still opposed by the prevalence of east winds, the arrivals collectively since this day week are very unimportant, except Oats, of which we have to note a moderate, and of Oatmeal .a fair, quantity from Ireland; that of other articles thence being comparatively light, and having very little of anything to report either coastwise or from abroad. These scanty acquirements by sea, and our home growers, during the present favourable season, being principally engaged in com pleting their autumn tillage, they have not yet began to thrash freely ; the deliveries of new Wheat, consequently, are so far insufficient to meet the wants of the millers, or to produce any material impression on the trade. Under the foregoing circumstances, combined with some improvement in the country markets last week, and the rise in London yesterday, holders of Wheat here, at the opening of this day's market, required much higher prices than could be attained; but subsequently, in order to meet the terms of the buyers, were induced to accept Id. over the currency cf Friday, thereby making the advance upon most descrip tions of foreign 2d. to 3d., and in the value of good Irish new 3d. to 4d. per 70 lbs. from the rates of this day week, — at which a moderate amount of business was transacted. Irish Flour, continuing rather scarce, readily commanded the full advance, and foreign, though in rather less demand, supported the amendment of Friday. Barley and Malt were in limited request at our quotations annexed ; and Beans, as well as Pease, continued to move slowly at former prices. PREMIUMS OF INSURANCE AT LLOYD'S • Outward.
