To let our readers a little more into the secret we shall favour them with the following particulars :—About three weeks or a month since, we were called from the breakfast-table to a confidential interview on particular business. The applicant for our private ear appeared to be an old man on the wrong side of seventy, with silvery white hair and unshaven beard of the same colour, dressed in a velveteen coat, and looked altogether like a decent venerable cottager come from the country. He stated that he had walked that morning from a village near Banbury, for the purpose of putting an ad vertisement in the paper concerning a lady who was in love with him, but whose presence he had some difficulty in ap proaching. The fair damsel was both young and handsome, and possessed property to the amount of £50,000, bnt she unfortunately possessed a father who would not listen saties, but threatened to kick her lovesick swain house if he dared to darken his doors on any fut , r 3 occasion,.. out of the ,„,1 -.3 certain t h at if his lady-love „„ nothing I -- from flying to his arms; but in case she was faithless, he would take up with one of two other ladies, possessing, one £70,000, the other £BO,OOO, both of whom were dying for him, only they were rather too old, being nearly forty. On our suggesting the propriety of communicating by letter with these ladies, our gallant confessed that a friend had told him of them, but was forbidden to mention either their names or residences, and it was now his wish to put in the paper an advertisement, that they might know where to find him. We, thinking that the old man, who appeared to be of a kind, open-hearted disposition, had been i m p ose d on by some rascal, who deserved to be put in the stocks for his pains, or that he was not quite sane, advised him to take some other method of communicating his readiness to enter into the connubial state with either of these ladies, as an ad vertisement would inevitably bring on him the ridicule of the mob, by whom he would be hooted and hunted in a manner not very agreeable. The old gentleman seemed pleased with the advice, wished us good morning, saying he would come and see us again as soon as he was married, and treat us with "a glass"' and he was sure he should not have to wait long, as "a fortune-teller had promised hiin very soon a very rich and handsome wife." We had not seen the old gentle man since, till he made his appearance on Monday in the High -street and Corn-Market, according to his appointment in the advertisement. We have heard, that he then believed the first-mentioned young lady was sent to Oxford to be out of his way, and that she was in lodgings in the High-street. As he has not made his appearance since, we trust that some friends have prevailed on the poor deluded old man to return to his home and comfortable fire-side for the winter.— Oxford Herald. THE PEASANTRY OF THE BORDER, The Rev. Dr. Gilly, a prebendary of Durham, and the ex emplary incumbent of the parish of Norham, situated in North Northumberland, has recently written and published an appeal on behalf of the peasantry of the border, in regard to the extremely wretched condition of the cottages in which, 'or the most part, this class of men and their families are - impelled to reside. Dr. Gilly's pamphlet is illustrated with cravings, and a series of statistical tables. His statements ' , Refill; the habitations of the peasantry relate chiefly to parish of Norham, which consists of 14,268 acres, and Ids for about seven miles along the southern banks of the 1.

(From the Planet) -A gentleman connected with the Horse Guards acquainted us, so Lae as Wednesday last, with the fact that a great sensation was created there, on Wednesday morning, about one o'clock, in consequence of a combustible ball having been thrown into the building with the intention of setting fire to it •, but the aim of the incendiary not being well taken, it fell at the feet of a sentry on duty, who immediately com municated the circumstance to the authorities, and they are in possession, as we are informed, of a portion of the de structive missile. But what makes this circumstance the more extraordinary is, that a similar combustible ball, was thrown on the same morning at the barracks behind the National Gallery, at Charing-cross. It was fortunately dis covered in time to prevent the intention of the incendiary from taking effect. The authorities at the Horse Guards were occupied during the whole of Wednesday in endeavouring to discover facts, tending to elucidate the mysterious occurrence, but with no success. The information was then conveyed to Colonel Rowan, of the metropolitan police, who is now engaged in investigating the circumstance ; and it is to be hoped that the perpetrators of the outrage will shortly be in the hands of justice. A great deal of secrecy is observed on the sub ject, in order that the ends of justice may not be frustrated ; and the impression that now prevails is that the fire at the Tower of London was not accidental, but may be traced to the same arch incendiary who endeavoured to destroy the Horse Guards and the Charing-cross Barracks on the morn ing of Wednesday last. Several persons have been examined ; but as yet no light has been thrown upon the affair, which remains involved in the deepest mystery. But it is clearly to be seen that a design is entertained by some diabolical incendiaries to destroy the great public buildings of the metropolis. The soldier at the Horse Guards, at whose feet the combustible ball fell, did not observe any person in the street by whom the missile appeared to have been thrown ; but, in the alarm and confusion which so mysterious an oc currence may naturally be supposed to have created in his mind, it is possible that the incendiary escaped before he was looked after. There can be no doubt but that, had the ball taken effect, the Horse Gurads would have been destroyed. The above information is derived from authority upon which we have the firmest reliance.

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND-SINGULAR SCENE CULSAMOND, ABERDEEN, Nov. 11.—A scene has taken place here to-day, which will scarcely fi n d a para ll e l i n the annals of Scottish history. The facts are these :—The Pres bytery of Ganoch having resolved, by a majority of seven, to induct the Rev. W. Middleton, as assistant and successor to the Reverend Ferdinand Ellis, minister of the church and parish of Culsamond, met in the Manse this day, previous to the hour set apart for the induction. After transacting some preliminary business, the Presbytery adjourned to the church ; but the concourse of people by which it was sur rounded was so great, and the feeling of opposition to the presentee so strong, that it soon became evident that a riot would ensue, if the induction were persever e d i n . A l arge party planted themselves around the door of the church, which was locked, and expressed their firm determination to prevent its being opened. The sheriff of the county being present, (at the request, we believe, of the Lord Advocate for Scotland), endeavoured to make way for the presentee and the Presbytery ; but he was met with the most discordant yells from the crowd, and failed, with all the assistance of the rural police, to effect an entrance. By-and-bye, some one got the door opened, and then such was the rush towards it, that one man has been dangerously injured, and others more or less bruised. The church was filled in a few minutes, and the windows crowded outside by those wno could notget in. On the members of the Presbytery attempting to take their seats, they were met with the most discordant yells ; and to such a height was the riot carried, that the ministers and their friends were actually stoned. One gentleman was cut above the eve, and others were struck on different parts of the body. The execrations of the crowd were dreadful, and the conduct of the leaders towards Sheriffs Murray and Lumsden was of the most violent detxription. In vain did the Sheriff attempt to produce quiet ; all the efforts he could use were futile ; and, with a prudence t bat did him the great est credit, he refrained from using the slightest threat to put down the riot by force. Seeing that there was no prospect of the ordination being proceeded with, the Sheriffs and Presbytery left the church amid rene wed disturbance, and proceeded to the Manse, where the re verend gentleman was quietly ordained. Thus ended one of the most deploral )le exhibitions of fac tions strife I ever witnessed. Few oft be parishioners of the the parish took an interest in the proceedings, the whole of the leaders being from the parish of / darnock, Fugue, and other districts in the neighbourhood. They were mostly No n - intrusionists, and their conduct this day has finished them for ever as a party in Scotland. The churchyard is filled with men and woman ; and the v ery parties who insti gated the lawless proceedings left their z infortunate adherents to their own resources when the riot rt latched its height. - = Richard Weeks, a pensioner of the; Roy l Hospital, at aGreenwich, at p resent in the Whiteh( fuse Lunatic Asylum.

Several merchants, bankers, and others have sent a requi sition to the Lord Mayor to call a public meeting, to take into consideration national emigration on a large scale ; to petition the Queen and the Parliament on the subject ; or to take such other measures as the meeting may deem proper. .The following are the resolutions which it is proposed to submit to the meeting : " That by official Ziespatches, and other authentic state ments, it is established that in most, if not in every one of the British colonies, there is a most urgent and pressing de mand for the services of labouring men ; while in this coun try, in our manufacturing towns, and in various parts of the kingdom, there are thousands of able-bodied, honest, and industrious working men, who cannot find employment, and who, with their wives and children, are reduced, in conse quence, to a state of absolute pauperism, and are suffering the greatest privations and misery. " That the natural and efficient remedy for this' state of things, as respects the evil of a deficiency of labour in the colonies, and the evil of a redundancy of labour and conse quent pauperism at borne, is the adoption of such an ex tended system of national emigration as shall afford every facility to our unemployed fellow-countrymen to transfer their labour to our colonial possessions, where their services are in demand, and where they will be enabled to earn, by their own industry, an honest and independent subsistence for themselves and families, instead of pining in idleness, misery, and starvation at home ; while, at the same time, such a measure would relieve the labour-market, lessen the burden of the poor-rate, create new markets for our goods, give employment to our shipping, and be beneficial in various other ways. " Thai the principle of employing our extensive, fertile, and unappropriated waste lands in the British colonies, in the creation of a fund to be applied to the purposes of emi gration, b" means of which alone, in proportion as British capital, skill, and labour are directed to their cultivation and the development of their resources, they derive any value— and more especially as there is abundance of capital in this country requiring investment—suggests obvious means by which such a system of emigration may be carried into effect ; and it is the opinion of this meeting that Her Majesty's Go vernment need not apprehend any difficulty in raising the necessary ways and means for the accomplishment of this great national object. " That there are great numbers of working men who are willing to emigrate with their wives and children, and who are highly eligible emigrants, but who cannot avail them selves of the offer of free passages on account of their inabi lity to provide the necessary clothing and outfit for the voy age, or to defray the necessary expense of travelling to the port of embarcation ; and, as there could not be a worthier object for the exercise of true Christian charity and benevo lence on the part of their wealthy and more favoured Yellow countrymen than to assist such parties in their laudable ob ject, that, with a view of preparing for emigration in the ensuing spring, a general fund for assisting poor emigrants of good character be forthwith raised by public subscription ; and that it be under the management of the committee after named. " That the said committee be and are hereby authorized to prepare petitions to her Majesty and both houses of parlia ment, founded on the foregoing resolutions ; and also to adopt any other steps which rimy be necessary to insure the best and most effectual practical result to the proceedings of this meeting." The following data will show the number of emigrants from the united kingdom, with their destination, during the year 1840, derived from official sources • To the North American colonies To the United States 38,495 To the West Indies To the Cape of Good Hope 513 To Sydney 7,811 To Van Dieman's Land 2Bl To Western Australia 233 To Port Philip To South Australia 2,911 To New Zealand 1,338 83,746 SIR HARCOURT LEES AND THE BURNING OF THE TOWER (From the. Birmingham Advertiser•.) We stated in our last, from memory alone, that the Rev. Sir Harcourt Lees had, years ago, predicted (as from secret information of the treasonable designs of the Jesuits) the burning of several of the public buildings of London, as well as various revolutionary movements for crippling the energies of England. Not wishing to rest the fact upon our own re collection, we sent one of our papers to the rev. baronet on Thursday week, requesting vouchers for these facts if we were right, or information of our error if we were wrong. On Monday week we received a copy of the Dublin Evening Packet, containing the following letter from Sir Harcourt, accompanied=by lengthy extracts from letters of former dates. We have not room for all, and as this contains the substance of the others, publish it only. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING PACKET. " Blackrock House, sth Nov., 1841. " (Gunpowder Plot.) " Sir,—l have received a letter this morning from a gen tleman in London, who writes that, although a stranger to me, he ventures to suggest that I would re-publish, in order to render a great public service, (with the dates when they were written,) certain letters which I wrote some years ago on the subject of the burning of the Houses of Parliament and the then contemplated firing of the Tower and other public buildings in England, as fit opportunities should pre sent themselves. 1 recollect several letters that I addressed to the nation and to yourselves also, one important commu nication to the Right Hon. Lord Duncannon at that awful crisis; but in a long search this morning I can only at pre sent lay my hands on a few of them, which I have the honour to enclose you ; and I have marked the extracts which I think will throw some light on the awful calamitj which has within these few days befallen this long-deluded nation. The vile incendiary is a foreigner, whose name I know, who invented the chemical preparation which burned down the Parliament Houses, the Exchange, and other buildings • and the flues were overheated to set fire to his combustibles. The Tower, my informer told me, was the grand object con templated in order to destroy the fire-arms, to cripple Eng land in case of insurrection or i nvas i on . And this awful de struction forms only a part of that wicked and general con spiracy which I have been unceasingly proclaiming to the empire and parliament for many successive years. " Believe me, sir, your faithful ifAm..ututa• Lr.ff,s• • • I nope that every precaution will be taken to secure the royal palaces." It is a fact, deserving of the most serious consideration, " that the same deficiency of water, and a similar state of the tide in the river, were experienced at the late conflagration at the Tower as appears to have been provided for by the Jesuits in 1666." We are quite aware of the ridicule which the Papist and Radical press has constantly attempted to throw upon Sir Harcourt's letters and those who publish them, but when public duty calls us on, ridicule has as little effect upon us as abuse and slander. We acknowledge that the Rev. Baro net's statements seemed at the time they were first made utterly incredible. But when nearly all the events which he then stated were contemplated by Jesuitical traitors have really taken place, there appears more reason for calm con templative inquiry than ridicule or railing. What the world calls " fortuitous circumstances" will happen sometimes, but it is rather extraordinary "fortuity" when a man declares in plain English (not in ambiguous or Sibylline language) that certain treasonable and destructive events are contem plated, and these events, one after another, actually take place. We know not, indeed, whether it does not require more credulity to believe that there is no connection between the means spoken of and the ends accomplished, than is re quired to believe there is such connection. But we will make no further observations, having to in troduce to our readers a letter from the rev. baronet himself, which reached us by post on Tuesday night week. It com mences with compliments to ourselves for our zeal in the Protestant cause, and sundry pieces of advice, but we will omit the portion, and commence where the writer begins with the business in hand : " Blackrock House, Nov. 7, 1841. "MY DEAR Sip.,-I had received from different journals in England, and from private individuals, similar requests to yours, and, as I could not reply to all, I endeavoured to search out among the thousands (I believe) of papers I have published my letters in for twenty years past, some of those connected with the burning of the Houses of Parliament in 1834. You will find two of them in the Evening Packet of Saturday, which I sent you yesterday. I had previously to the receipt of your favour forwarded, on that evening, to the editor of the Salopian Journal, an Evening Packet, along with the one of last Saturday, containing that important pe tition of mine, presented to the House of Commons in July, 1840, against the Jesuits, in which I stated that I had writ ten to the Lord Chancellor of England on the 4th of June, respecting the intended attempt to assassinate our innocent and magnanimous young queen. You recollect her majesty was fired at by the miscreant Oxford on the 10th of that month. This villain, who was stimulated to the act by a Jesuit emissary, was anything but insane, as was pretended. I hope the editor will publish the extract, and the letter pre ceding it, which I sent him. It must make a powerful sen-. sation, and will prove to the most prejudiced Protestant Li beral what these demons are accomplishing in once exalted England. If you can get that journal it will furnish you with one of the best weapons I could arm you with. * * * I wrote a short, but strong letter, to the editor of the Times on Wednesday night, giving him the name of the incendiary who had fired, by a chemical preparation, (which my secret informant saw tried, in a committee of twenty-one traitors, sitting in an executive directory in London,) the Houses of Parliament, Exchange, and other buildings. I told him the Tower was fired by the same means (perhaps by some sworn operative), and I charged him to publish my letter. I see, by this paper of Saturday, that he has taken no notice. 1 wish you would mention this. The two royal palaces, Buck ingham and Windsor, are contemplated for destruction when a proper opportunity can be got. You are quite right when you state I gave warning as to the Canadas. I was ten years proclaiming the maturing of that rebellion ; I also said New foundland would be the next, which it will, if not averted by firm and decided measures immediately. Seven or eight years ago I proclaimed the two Irish .priests, Fleming and Troy, as principals in organising the Romanists in that im portant island, which was to be the bribe with our North American possessions.altogether including the Canadas, for aid in separating Ireland from Great Britain ; whilst a deeper plan was laid for betraying Gibraltar to France for her assist ance, had the vile jacobin, Thiers, continued minister. An Irish priest, last from Maynooth, was sent there to be a bishop, in order to corrupt the Roman Catholic soldiers and inhabitants. No one seemed to be aware of these treasons but myself. However, I trust that, every event that I pre dicted having proved true, up to the burning of the Tower, 'the sensible part of the nation will take warning in time. I :tee by your observation as to my being an enthusiast, that you do not know this report of twenty years ago emanated ! Tom the Church of Rome, in order to prevent their priests £ mei flocks from reading my early works against Popery. A. tomish priest, a convert of mine, assured me that he was in s tructed to tell his congregation that I was affected with de rangement by Prince Hohenlohe; and another report was placarded in the streets of Dublin, that my arm was paralysed by the same impostor. However, thank God, I possess a mind impregnable to fear, and a spirit that rises above all difficulties and danger.—Believe me, faithfully yours, " HARCOURT LE.EB." CALCULATING PRODIGY.—There is a man living in the parish of Aghagallon, county of Antrim, named David M'Ca vanagh, who was born without arms, and almost without legs; Nature having left in lieu of the latter t wo sma ll s t umps , only ehd without e a few inches in anyin length, ni t havin g a small s h ape l ess f oot at tached, intervening. Th e extraor di nary things which this person can perform, mentally and bodily, would be too tedious to enumerate.—However, we shall sub mit the following curious specimens of his powers of mental calculation. M'Cavanagh solved all the subjoined questions with civility—and, of course, without the use of pen or ink : I. Supposing Ireland to be 300 miles in length, and 150 miles in breadth, it is required to determine how many square in ches are in the entire kingdom, taking it as a parallelogram. __Answer-292,626,432,000,000. 2. Supposing the Atlantic Ocean to be 3,000 miles long, and 1,500 miles broad, and 100 yards deep, allowing every cubic inch of water to be an ounce in weight, it is required to find how many tons weight of of water it contains, taking it as a parallelopiped. Answer -2,939,328,000,000,000. 3, If the earth's diameter be 7,970 miles, it is required to find how many square inches are on its surface, taking it as a regular sphere.

MISCELLANEOUS The old established banking' house of Ridge and C0., - of Chichester, haS suspended payment; but the engagements are not of great amount. A LOUD RE:pou-r.—The weather on Sunday was so calm on the northern coast, that the salute fired at Dover on the embarkation of his Excellency the British Ambassador, for France, and was distinctly heard at Boulogne. It is arranged that her Majesty will remove to Windsor as early as can be considered safe by the physicians, and that the infant Prince will be baptized in St. George's Hall, with a costly magnificence and regal splendour unknown since the days of George IV.—Brighton Gazette. A DEED OF DARKSESS.—On Friday evening, at twilight, Lord Palmerston called in a carriage at the Mansion-house, Dawson-street, sent his card by a servant to the Lord Mayor, and departed. On the preceding day the noble Lord dined at the castle, and on the following day (Saturday) he sailed for England.—Dublin Evening Packet. It is generally remarked in Westminster-hall, that, not withstanding the long vacation which has elapsed since•the last sitting of the courts, the present is the dullest and most uninteresting term ever remembered by the oldest legal prac titioner.—Standard. THE REFORMATION. — On the 31st of October the 300th anniversary of the festival of the Reformation was celebrated at Wittemberg. In the evening a number of the most re spectable persons in the town formed themselves into a pro cession, and walked to the statue of the great reformer, Martin Luther, where they sang a hymn. THE RINGMER MURDER. — General Washer, one of the four committed for trial, has been admitted to bail. It was rather singular that two of the prisoners were witnesses Against Washer, and yet in the confessions made by them not the slightest allusion was made to him. In fact, the confessions of the thrPe prisoners, Steadman, Pockney, and Briggs, although made apart from one another, agreed that they were the only parties concerned. SHIPWRECK NEAR REDCAR. - A most distressing wreck of the Susanna trader off Coatbam took place on Saturday, when all hands perished, including a son of Widow Boogy, of ltedcar. The poor fellows were seen shaking hands and clinging to the mast. The life-boat tried for three hours to get to them, but in vain. A poor dog swam on shore, and was the only animal saved. The sea ran mountains high. All the inhabitants of Coatham and the neighbourhood were congregated on the shore, but were unable to afford any help to the poor fellows.—Leeds Intelliyenccr. EMIGRATION.—Last week, about 130 agricultural labour ers,dairywomen, &c. left their homes at Bridgewater, Somer ton, and the surrounding district, for Australia. Each of them entered into an agreement to serve their employers for a period - of three years. A special train was engaged at Bridgewater to take the party to London, from which port they embarked in excellent health and spirits. One man, when he arrived at London, began to sigh for his home ; and his heart failing him, he returned to his friends.—Bristol Gazelle. , , GAS METERS.—The consumers of gas, who have their meters in exposed situations, and particularly those whose supply of gas has been stopped in previous winters, are earnestly requested to have their - meters properly protected from the frost, by having them carefully protected with woollen wrappers, straw, or other suitable materials. Prompt attention to the above will prevent much trouble and incon venience to all parties; hut where practicable the most effec tual preventive, especially in those places where a number of lights are required, is to have a small light constantly burning near the meter, which, by keeping the works in mo tion, prevents the water from being frozen. WOMAN SHOT BY A YOUNG GENTLEMAN.—An inquest was held on Monday, before Dr. Birt Davies, at the house of Mr. Joseph Stinton, the Grand Turk, Ludgate Hill, touching the death of Mrs. Ann Brain, a widow, aged i 5, residing in her lifetime at Caton, near Alcester, who was accidentally wounded in 'the eye by a young gentleman then on a visit to a friend, Mr. Sumner, in that neighbourhood. The case ex cited considerable interest, and the individual alluded to ap peared in court, attended by several of his friends. As the name of the young gentleman who was the innocent cause of the poor woman's death did not appear in the evidence, we do not feel called upon to publish it: but he was understood to be of respectable family in the sister kingdom, and a student at Oscott College. After a number of witnesses had been ex amined, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death from a gunshot wound."—Birmingham Advertiser. DEATH OF THE REV. DR. BARRY, OVER SIXTY YEARS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH PRIEST OF FERMOY.— On Friday last this highly esteemed and venerable gentleman died at his house, Ballinahina, near Fermoy, at the great age of 105 years. In early life Doctor Barry travelled ex tensively, having made the tour of Europe and all the islands after finishing his education at Rome. He was a splendid linguist, and conversed with an Italian gentleman fluently in that tongue the day before his death. In social life Dr. Barry could not be surpassed, and his loyalty was unshaken by any circumstances, as he fully evinced in the turbulent times of 1798. He was descended from the ancient and noble family of Barrymore, and nearly related to the late General Barry, of Ballyclough House, county . Cork. His remains, at the earnest solicitation of the parishoners, will be interred in the precincts of the chapel on Monday morn ing. He inherited an estate of about £7OO a-year, which he has bequeathed to his nephew, Gerard Barry, Esq., J. P. of Ballinahina. It is a fact, that the reverend doctor would not allow a bell to be put up in the chapel a few years ago, lest it might be an infringement of the law. His coadjutors con tinued teasing him about it, and, not to be annoyed by them, he gave his consent to have the bell put up outside the chapel yard. Nor:would he allow the rope, suspended for ringing the bell, to descend for that purpose into the yard, so that the ringer had to stand outside.—Limerick Standard. MURDER ON COMBE-DOWN.—BATH, Nov. 18.—Early yesterday morning our city was much excited by a report that a murder had been committed on the previous night, on Combe-Down. . It appears that four men, two of them named Bancroft and Stinnard, had been drinking together at the Carriage and Horse public-house, on the Down, kept by Mr. Payne. During the evening a disagreement arose, and the parties appearing inclined to fight, the landlord dismissed them from his house. , A fight subsequently ensued out of doors amongst the parties ; after which Bancroft went up and offered to shake hands with Stinnard, when the latter imme diately uplifted his hand and struck Bancroft on the breast ; be immediately fell, and never rose alive again, for upon being lifted up a large clasp knife was discovered sticking in his breast; and which appeared to have been forcibly plunged in Up to the haft ; from the instantaneous death which followed the blow, it is conjectured that the murderous weapon must have riPteed hie heart_ Mr. Massey, surgeon, was immedi ately sent for; he drew out the knite, but all attempts to save his life were in vain. The murderer was shortly after appre hended. DOVER, NOV. 18.—WRECK—Four{ LIVES LOST.—This morning the Confidence, of Barking, fishing smack, was brought in here in tow of one of the Dover fishing vessels, with loss of mast, &c., and four of her crew. The disaster occurred in a sudden squall off the coast of Holland, about six on Sunday evening; and the wreck, after being d r i ven about at the mercy the wind and waves for about 24 hours, was picked up by our fishermen on Monday after; noon. The crew consisted originally of eight persons. At the time of the accident the captain was on a visit on board of another vessel, a customary practice, we understand, in moderate weather, when little is doing in the fishing depart ment, as was the case in this instance: Three men and three boys were on the deck of the Confidence, when a gale came on suddenly, and a tremendous sea struck her, carrying away the masts, sails, and every part of the standing rigging, and washing overboard two men and three boys, all of whom pe rished, except one little fellow, about 14 years of age, who caught hold of the boom as it floated at the vessel's side, and by this means he was ultimately saved, after remaining a con siderable time in the water. EXTENT OF THE BRITISH DOMINIONS.—The Liverpool Times, in announcing the birth of the Duke of Cornwall, thus sums up the vast extent of the empire ‘shich it is to be hoped he will at some future and distant day preside over Salutes in honour of the birth will be fired—in America, on the shores of Hudson's-bay, along the whole line of the Canadian lakes, in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, New foundland, in the Bermudas, at a hundred points in the West Indies, in the forests of Guiana, and in the distant Falkland Islands, near Cape Horn ; in Europe, in the Bri tish islands, from the rock of Gibraltar, from the impreg nable fortifications of Malta, and in the lonian Islands; in Africa, on the Guinea Coast, at St. Helena and Ascension, from the Cape to the Orange ltiver, and at the Mauritius ; in Asia, from the fortress of Aden, in Arabia, at Karrack, in the Persian Gulf, by the British army in Affghanistan, along the Himalayan mountains, the banks of the Indus and the Ganges, to the southern point of India, in the Island of Ceylon, beyond the Ganges in Assam and Aracan, at Prince of Wales Island and Singapore, and on the shores of China, at Hong Kong and Chusan ; and in Australia, at the settle ments formed on every side of the Australian continent and islands, and in the strait which separates the islands of the New Zealanders. No prince has ever been born either in this or any other country, in ancient or modern times, whose birth would be hailed with rejoicings at so many different and distant points in every quarter of the world." STRANGE HISTORY OF A NEEDLE.—A FACT FOR THE FACULTY.—The following account of the re-appearance of a needle, after its having been upwards of sixty years in the body of a human being, may be reli e d upon as correct :--Mr. John Bridges, solicitor, of No. 9, Parade; Islington, aged 72, swallowed, whilst at play, when between nine and ten years of age, a needle. The occurrence created great alarm in his family, and the most eminent practitioners of the day having been consulted, used every effort to expel the needle, but in vain. The fears of Mr. Bridges's parents were allayed when they saw him grow.up to youth and manhood, without suf fering. Mr. Bridges arrived at the age of 60, seldom or never suffering from ill health, but not unfrequently he has felt great pains in various parts of his body, which have al ways been attributed to rheumatism. On Wednesday night last he had, as he thought, an attack of that disease, and re tired early to rest, encased in flannel. About thrree o'clock in the morning, a strange pricking sensation, felt about the outer right ancle, awoke him, and, putting his hand to the spot, he found protruding from the flannel what he thought a small bit of wire. la the morning . he discovered, compar ing all the circumstanees, that it was the self-same needle he had swallowed 62 years ago ! A punctured mark just over the ancle shows where the needle has made its egress. The needle is a strong button one ; its colour a dingy blue, and the eye shows that it is of ancient fabric.—Morning Herald. RAISING THE WIND. —A man owed a small account of Ss. to a butcher in our town, whose name were a useless ap pendage to this document. He had in his possession a£s note, which was divided into two halves, neatly and adroitly, one of which was presented to the dealer in defunct animals for payment, "Jeremy," averring he had received it " from the other side," his 'cautious agent having divided it for greater safety of transit, and that the other half would be forthcoming next post. The butcher—good, easy, contented, and comfortable man —handed over the balance, £4 125., and pocketed the moiety of the " Henry Haze." So far so good ; our hero's bark " sail'd nimbly both with wind and stream." It occurred to his fanciful recollection that a small bill of 12s. was ow i ng b y h i m t o a " rite worthie" grocer, and honestly conscious that the sweets of life had a s much right to be p a id f or as t h e fl es hy substantials, tendered the other half of th e severe d note, saying, as he had don e before, that the remainder would be forthcoming by the next mail. The receipted bill for the 125., with many thanks, was safely deposited along with the £4 Ss. change; and the next packet from Engl an d did no t b r i n g the wanting halves to the Island, but the preceding one conveyed the ingenious speculator from it. APPALING ACCIDENT.—One of those peculiarly striking incidents which so forcibly illustrate the necessity of obe dience to parents took place yesterday week, in the parish of Mothvey, in the upper Part of this county. The parents of a fine young man, aged 19, residing on the farm of Gorsaf issa, and bearing the name of Jones, had repeated occasion to caution the youth against an erratic disposition that he mani fested, by a desire to be continually shooting . , instead of attending to his proper occupation. As to add weight to the remonstrances of his parents, he was detected trespassing in pursuit of game, and having no license was for both offences fined £3O. On another occasion, his mother broke his gun, in order to prevent a repetition of his offences ; but the unfortunate and infatuated youth persisted in his old habits ! On Thursday, the 11th instant , he wa s o ut shooting, when, seeing hi s f at h er coming towards him, and fearful of his anger, he hurriedly endeavoured to conceal his transgres sion by thrusting the gun into a hedge, the muzzle being towards him ; in his eagerness to conceal the deadly weapon effectually, his father approaching, the trigger caught in a twig, and in an instant the whole entered the unfortunate youth's breast, and he fell lifeless at the feet of his agonised parent, whose distress at the dreadful visitation can better be imagined than described. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 19. The import duties on foreign produce remain the same as last week, except on Beans, raised to Ils, and on Pease, re duced to lls per qr. ; those on all articles from British colo nies continuing unaltered. In consequence of easterly winds, prevalent since the early part of the week, we have very few arrivals fresh up for to day ; exclusive of a limited quantity of Irish, Canadian, and foreign Wheat, and a fair supply of Oatmeal, by steamers from Ireland, the latter passint , chiefly up to Runcorn. From the close of last Tuesday's market and onward up to this date, the proceedings in any branch of the Corn trade here have been extremely unimportant, and no decided change in prices appears to have taken place during that period. Upon a slender attendance of country dealers at our Corn Exchange this morning, and our local millers buying rather sparingly, the transactions in Wheat were upon a very moderate scale :—superior descriptions, nevertheless, nearly supported Tuesday's rates, whilst the general runs of foreign were evidently somewhat depressed in value, and the ordinary qualities of Irish very unsaleable and nominally cheaper. Flour of all sorts, being taken off less freely than usual, scarcely maintained late prices. Barley, for both malting and grinding, was in slow re quest and on the terms last noted. Malt remained steady. Beans and Pease seemed to command very little attention, and each may be considered Is. per quarter lower. The Oat-trade likewise was exceedingly dull, with a rather declining aspect, and Oatmeal, having.met a very limited de mand, the best marks of Irish settled down to 28s to 28s 3d per 2401b5. 80 • Sea Island I :3 6) 191 i .... , Stained — , 1 1335 4240 .

This day's market has been largely supplied with Beef, and prices stationary. The number of Sheep was small ; good Wethers were from id to id per lb. above our last quotations. Prime Beef 6d to 6;d, middling 5d to Sid, inferior 4id to 4id; Wethers 7d to 7id ; Ewes fid to did per lb. sinking the offal. Head of Cattle at market, Beasts, 1725; 'Sheep, 3347. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER 22. The late prevailing east winds has prevented any considerable supply of Potatoes getting forward into port, yet the demand con tinues so limited, both to the town and country trade, that the late heavy stock is only partially cleared off And the sales made are principally to the Manchester dealers at the currency of Thurs day last, viz. Manx and Scotch Cups Is Sd to is led per golbs. ; Irish is 7d to is Sd; Pink Eyes Is Sd to 10d. - ..„.. On Saturday the Hay market was heavily supplied with all de. scriptions of Agricultural produce by the farmers from the sur rounding district, and tie demand for whi2h was exceedingly slack. Pink-eyed Potatoes 2s to 2s 2d; Cups is 7d to is led; Short-tops Is 4d to Is led; Cattle is id to ;s 4d per 901bs. Tur nips 22s to 265; Carrots 47s to 50s per ton.

Fine Betters have become so scarce and are in so very few hands, that their 'possession may be looked upon as a monopoly, and holders are in consequence able to obtain very extravagant rates. We have heard of as high a price as 105 s having been got at the close of the week for a parcel of fresh Carlow. We are much sur prised and grieved to observe that for the last few years the great bulk of Irish Butter imported into this part of the country has been of very inferior quality ;—thus necessarily causing a bad trade, great disparitv'in price of an article professedly of the same quality ; arid throwing of a chance away in favour of our more careful neighbours on the Continent. There is much steadiness in the demand for provisions. Bacon is rather dull, and may be bought 25 per cwt. cheaper. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Nov. 19. The arrival of grain for this day's market was moderate. There was a fair business doing in new Wheat, at somewhat under last week's prices ; but for foreign the demand is very limited. Holders, however, are very firm, and would not take lower rates. The Barley trade still continues depressed, the finest samples barely supporting their late value, whilst the inferior are nearly unsaleable. Oats and Beans quite neglected. Shelling last week. WORCESTER HOP MARKET, Nov. 19. It is expected that the duty will be declared next week, probably to-day. Pending the issue of this important document, business grows rather slack. It is anticipated that it will fall at about 12,700 for this district, and for the kingdom .4'144,000. Present prices :—New Worcesters, 81s to 126 s ; choice, 1355. 1839'5. 655 to 955; choice, 100 s. 1837'5, 50s to 755; choice, 805.• 1836'5, 42s to 56s ; choice, 645.

The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have been small; some runs were left over from that day, which sold at rather less money. There was but little business transacted in foreign, which is held at the same prices. Barley is a dull sale and rather lower. Boiling Peas are in demand, but non-boilers are very unsaleable; maple and grey remain the same. Beans are unaltered in value. There is a steady demand for old Oats but the trade for new Irish is flat. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 19 Although we had a very limited number of beasts on sale at market to-day, the Beef trade, owing to the small attendance of buyers, was on the whole dull, and Monday's quotations were barely supported. From Scotland the receipts were small, viz., only 10 Scots and 35 Sheep, most of which were of inferior quality. The supply of Sheep was scanty, while the sale for all descriptions except the best old Downs was heavy, at unaltered rates. With Calves we were well supplied, while the inquiry for them was ex tremely dull, at a decline of from 2d to 4d per 81b. Neat small Porkers sold freely, but large Hogs were a mere drug. Mulch Cows sold at from £l6 to .421 each, including their small calf. By the quantities of 81bs, sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, Nov. 19 Sugar.—The demand has improved considerably, and higher prices have been paid for good and fine descriptions, which are ex tremely scarce. The sales arc 600 hhds 13. P., 1700 bags Bengal, chiefly from 67s to 715 6d. and 6700 bags Mauritius, one-half sold with all faults, by auction, and the remainder at ass 6d to 65s 6d per cwt. Foreign.—The demand is very limited, and only ca tces. and 80 brls. of Foreign West India are reported, at 145 for low brown, to 26s 6d for fine yellow. A parcel of 1100 bags East India, imported from Singapore, (subject to 325 duty,) was sold by public auction at sls gd to sps 6d per cwt. duty paid. The sales of Molasses are limited to a parcel of 70 puns. Demerara, at 235 6d per cwt. Coffee.—The market for Plantation is very firm, but the sales have only been to a moderate extent, consisting 100 casks Jamaica, at the annexed. rates. 241 bags of good Ceylon sold at 74s per cwt. For foreign there is some inquiry, but at low prices. 150 bags black Pepper sold at 3id to 43d per lb. Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento. Rice.—A small lot of fine Carolina sold at 365, and 100 bags fine Bengal at 14s per cwt. Rum.—The demand is still chiefly confined to the finest qualities ; 100 puns. Jamaica have been sold at 3s 5d for ordinary, to 6s for favourite marks, and 70 puns. fine Demerara at 35 gd to 45 3d per gallon. Tea.,-No alteration has taken place ; a fair business has been done, at last week's quotations. Indigo.—A sale of 20 serons of Caraccas is reported, without price; 40 chests Lac Dye at 6d, and 50 chests Shell Lac at 40s; 25 cases Castor Oil sold at 6d, 150 bags Sago at 16s, and Sago Flour at 14s. Saltpetre is dull of sale, and 000 bags only to report, at 28s to 28s lid per cwt. Nitrate of Soda, 1000 bags sold, and the price returned is 23s 6d to 24s 6d. llyewoods.—The sales have been only to a trifling extent, at former rates. There is less demand for Turpentine, and for 700 brls. offered ou Wednesday, 125 Id being the highest bid, the parcel was withdrawn. About 700 brie. of American Tar were sold on Friday last at I3s. The animated inquiries for Montreal Pot Ashes have quite subsided, and, although 35s has been obtained for a few brls., the market is now dull at this price. Some sales of Pearl Ashes have been made at 32s 6d, and although 33s is generally re quired, it has been given for some few barrels only. Hides.—Salted giver Plate Ox have been in rather better demand, and about 12,000 sold at 'id per lb, with sto 81bs tare. Tobacco.—The market re mains dull ; the sales this week are under 10u hhds. at rather lower prices. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 19 Rather a better attendance of buyers in our market to-day, but they are only disposed to operate at very low and easier prices • the amount of busiwess is estimated at 3000 bales, all to the trade. The weekly sales amounted to 19,840 bales. Prices gene rally to 4 lower than last week ; and this is the case with Brazil and Surat, as,well as all classes of American Cotton. COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER 22 For some time past the report of our market has been unvaried, viz. tame, dull and fiat, nevertheless prices seem to have bottomed, and holders evince great firmness. The quantity sold on Saturday was 3000 bales, and to-day 3000 bales : the market closing with greater firmness. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT The Cotton market continues much depressed, and in several instances a further decline has been submitted to, particularly in the inferior and middling qualities of American and East India, which are freely offered. Brazil is again lower, and extremely dif ficult of sale in quantity. Exporters have taken 50, and speculators 200 American.
