tiottrp. THE SMILE (For the Liverpool Standard.) There is a magic, mystic eloquence, Which floats not on the music of the tongue ; Silent, yet speaking—gentle, yet intense, Its notes are heard when Fancy's chords are strung ! 'Tis Nature's language ! Though no living sound Disturb the silence that o'er earth may reign, It has a voice in ev'ry thing around, And Nature's lovers catch the / modest strain ! Look on that smile, with artless beauty play Upon the face of budding infancy ! Listen to what its pictur'd accents say, Discoursing brightly of futurity. They tell not of the sorrow that may cast The cup of happiness untasted down ; They yield no lesson from the mighty past; They paint alone a life which joys shall crown! See, there, that smile illume the lover's face, Gazing on her whom he has priz'd so well : Bursting emotions in that smile we trace— Its silence utters more than words can tell It speaks of love's supreme but gentle sway; Devotion's fervour, truth, sincerity ; It tells of hope—itself hope's peaceful ray ! And whispers vows of changeless constancy I There, see, upon that parent's face, the smile, As she the offspring of her love surveys : How eloquently does it tell, the while, The thoughts that centre in—a mother's gaze ! It breathes the fulness of maternal love ; The throbbings of anxiety . and care; The fears of earth; the trust that looks above ; The heartfelt fervency of silent pray'r ! Yet once again the simple smile survey, As, there, it steals athwart the cheek of age : Where now the life of childhood's buoyant ray ? How sad that smile !—how like to death's presage ! Ah ! now it leads us back to what has been— It speaks of moments fled, past joys and woes : 'Tis life's adieu to Nature's varied scene— Its salutation to the grave's repose ! Liverpool, Dec. 8, 1841 .1. M. L RECOLLECTIONS Do you remember all the sunny places Where, in bright days, long past, we played together? Do you remember all the old home faces That gathered round the hearth in wintry weather ; Do you remember all the happy meetings, In summer evenings, round the open door— Kind looks, kind hearts, kind words, and tender greetings, And clasping hands, whose pulses beat no more Do you re - member them ? Do you remember all the merry laughter ? The voices round the swing in our old garden ; The dog that, when we ran, still followed after ; The teasing frolic, sure of speedy pardon ? We were but children then, young, happy creatures, And hardly knew how much we had to lose ; But now the dream-like memory of those features Comes back, and bids my darkened spirit muse. Do you remember them Do you remember when we first departed From all the old companions who were round us, How very soon again we grew light-hearted, And talked with smiles of all the links which bound us ? And after, when our footsteps were returning With unfelt weariness o'er hill and plain, How our young hearts kept boiling up and burning, To think how soon we'd be at home again ? Do you remember this ? Do you remember how the dreams of glory Kept fading from us like a fairy treasure; How we thought less of being famed in story, And more of those to whom our fame gave pleasure? Do you remember in far countries, weeping, When a light breeze a flower hath brought to mind Old happy thoughts, which till that hour were sleeping, And made us yearn for those we left behind ? Do you remember this ? Do you remember, when no sound woke gladly, But desolate echoes through our home were ringing, How for awhile we talked—then paused full sadly, Because our voices bitter thoughts were bringing? Ah me ! those days—those days ! my friend, my brother, Sit down and let us talk of all our woe, For we have nothing left but one another • Yet where they went, old playmate, we shall ge— Let us iemembei this MRS. NORTON. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, DEC. 29.—Although this is a period of the year at which any great degree of activity is hardly to be expected, there have been within the last two or three days, and more particularly yesterday, some symptoms of improvement in our yarn market ; and a trifling advance over the very low prices paid about ten days ago, has been pretty generally obtained upon numbers and qualities of yarn suitable to the present demand. Many of the pur chasers also have shown a strong inclination to make con tracts for future delivery, which is a favourable symptom as to the condition of the market. In goods, however, there is not much improvement ; and the extremely low prices which have ruled for some weeks past remain without change. Still there is a rather better feeling in the market; and, as indeed is usual at this period of the year, a more decided improve ment in the coarse of a month or two is confidently looked for. During the two last years, this expectation was defeated by the unfavourable position of the Bank of England, and the consequent pressure upon the money market. There is some reason to hope, that this year the same cause will not be in operation, as the bank is now understood to be in a com paratively easy and secure position—her stock of coin and bullion at the present moment amounting to somewhere about five millions and a half, with every appearance of a progressive increase., We hope these favourable anticipations may be realized ; and that the slight improvement of yester day may prove the commencement of a steady and permanent amelioration of the present depressed condition of our manu facturers.— Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 27. The business to-day has been very limited, as is usually the case on those Mondays that fall between Christmas-day and the new market, which is always held on the first Monday after the 6th of January. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, DEC. 28. Were it not a weekly custom, it would be unnecessary to report the last market-day in the year, which was (as it always was) in point of amount of commercial transactions approaching to a blank. However, it is satisfactory to notice, that there was a trace of bright feeling arising from the impression that a new year will witness some commercial relief. PAISLEY, DEC. 25.—We are unable to state any vestige of improvement in our trade. A few houses are preparing for the spring trade, but it is to a small extent, and with great caution. They have not altogether lost hopes of some improvement after the new year, though the streaks of light in their horizon are very faint. One intelligent correspondent does not expect that any revival which may be counted upon will take up all our harness weavers, and he strongly recom mends as many of them as can fall in with work of any other description to embrace it without delay. Female sewers of shawl borders are also not at all likely to meet with full employment, an he strongly recommends the younger part of them to turn their attention to hand sewing. A. great deal of this kind of work is sent both from Paisley and Glasgow to distant parts of Scotland, and even Ireland, and were they to learn it, it would prove serviceable in throwing a variety into female work. DUBLIN ANACREONTIC SOCIETY, (From Saunders.' s Dublin Newt-Letter.) At a very numerously attended meeting of the members of the Dublin Anacreontic Society, in their concert-room in the Rotunda, on Monday evening, the 21st instant, a very splendid cup was presented by the society to M. Jullien, accompanied by an address, delivered by one of the members, and to which M. Jullien replied in a very animated manner. We insert a copy of the address and reply : ADDRESS TO M. JULLIEN Sia,—l have been deputed by the members of the Anacre ontic Society to perform a duty which affords me great personal gratification. On their behalf I am directed to express their sincere thanks for your valuable services in having conducted gratuitously, and with masterly ability, aided by your splendid band, their first concert during the present season. In testimony of their gratitude for your disinterested exertions upon that occasion, and their admira tion of your professional talents, they request your accept ance of a piece of plate. Its intrinsic value is not commen surate with your distinguished merits, but the members of the society feel confident that you will, nevertheless, receive it as a proof of their esteem. As a foreigner not altogether unknown to them, you had claims upon their attention and respect—as a professor of musical science, which you have adorned by talents no less varied than p ro f oun d, an d w hi c h you have employed with signal success in arran g i ng some o f our most popular national music, they h a il e d your arr i val i n this country with the liveliest feelings of pleasure. Associ ated with gentlemen of your profession, whose brilli an t attainments have attracted universal admiration, you have been the means, since your arrival in Dublin, of affording to thousands of the population the most refined and delightful enjoyment ; and it may be confidently anticipated that public morals as well as taste will be promoted by such concerts as those over which you have presided with such eminent ability, and unexampled popularity. In parting from you our members heg to express their warmest wishes for your prosperity. They trust that the celebrity you have so justly acquired will bring with it honour and reward to yourself, as it cannot fail to be productive of real advantage to the community; and that on your return to your native land you will recur, with feelings of pride and satisfaction, to the interesting proceedings of this evening. By order, S. J. PIGOTT, Sec. M. JULLIEN'S ANSWER Messieurs,—C' est avec un vif sentiment de reconnoissance et de joie que je recois votre magnifique present. Cette marque distinguee d'estime et de bienveillance est d'autant plus ho norable pour moi, qu'elle m'est offerte part l'une des plus anciennes, et des plus celebres societes musicales des trois royaumes. En etfet, la Societe Anacreontique a etc fondee en 1740, sous le patronage, et la direction des personnages les plus illustres de l'lrlande ; depuis cetteepoque elle a tou jours poursuivi ses travaux scientifi9ue avec une ardeur et une constance admirable ; elle a execute les oeuvres de plus grands maitres ; elle a propagee les seines doctrines ; elle a conserve les bonnes traditions, et par ces moyens elle a for torment contribuee a etablir la renommee musicale que l'lr lande s'est acquise en Europe. C'est pour cela, messieurs, que je suis si flatte de recevoir un tel hommage de la Societe Anacreontique et aussi par ceque c'est un grand honneur pour moi d'avoir dirige un orchestre compose de membres aussi distingue par leur talents pie par leur r ang et l eur naissance ; mais pourtant je n'accepte le riche present que vows me faites que titre d'encouragement, et je vais essayer de m'en rendre digne en composant une symphonic dont j'offrirai humblement la dec'icace i< la Societie Anacre on ti que d'l r l ande po e tique.

A BARBAROUS TRICK.—An eastern shoreman stepped into a barber's shop in our city, and requested the barber to take off in cents worth of his hair. The barber trimm e d his locks very neatly, and then combed and brushed them i n the most particular style. " Are y ou done ? asked the eas tern shoreman, as the barber removed th e napkin from his neck. " Yes, sir," returned the man of th e razor, with ? a bow. " Are you certain you took off eleven-pence worth " Yes, sir," returned the barber, " here's a glass, you can see for yourself." " Well," said the eastern man , "if you think you have got a 'leven pence worth off, I do n't know as I have any use for it, and I hay' n't got not no change ; so you may just keep the hair for your trouble."—Ballimore Airgus. .de LATEST FROM AMERICA. Friday Morning, Two o'clock The Acadia, Captain Ryrie, has just arrived in the river, from Halifax, which port she left on the 19th instant, and Boston on the 16th. She has thus made her passage in eleven days seven hours. She has had a capital voyage, the weather having proved very favourable. The papers are seven days later than by the Independence; they are quite destitute of intelligence and interest. The New York Morning Herald of the 15th, contains a report of the Secretary of War, which occupies six columns of that paper; it is a curious document. It gives minute particu lars relating to that part of the service, with a variety of sug gestions on the subject of improvement, and an increase into its proficiency. An extension of the outposts on the western, northern, and maritime frontiers is recommended. Places of refuge are also advised to be constructed for the perfect security and deposit of arms. On the subject of the navy no new suggestions are thrown out. Taken altogether, we have seldom met with files so barren of information. She brings 20 passengers ; the following are the names : From Boston.—Mr. G. B. Symes, W. Colquhonn, Mr. Rigby, S. H. Russell, F. A. Lohse, Andrew Murray, W. Whiteford, Hugh Allen, J. Stewart, A. Shaw, D. Torrance, H. M. Gibson, Mr. Fenshaw, C. Drummond, H. Thomas, and Wm. Hughes. From Halifax.—Mr. Usborne, Mr. Williams, Mr. Alexander, and E. Le Bas. MONEY MARKET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 13.—The sales at the stock board have been small to-day, and the rates have not changed ma terially. Indiana bonds fell 4 per cent ; Illinois rose 3 ; N. J. Railrord declined 1 per cent ; Mohawk, ; Paterson rose 1; sales of bills on Philadelphia 64 ; Harlem 64 to 7 ; Mo bile 10 to 12 Cincinnati 10 to 14. This is bill day for the Boston steamer, that takes her de parture to-morrow. A moderate business in bills only was done yesterday, and rates presented but little variation from those of the last packet. The exports of produce to France have thus far been larger this year than last, and the supply of bills on that quarter has consequently been good. On London, however, there is not so many bills offering, owing to the untoward state of the English market having prevented the free export of produce. To-day the Southern mails failed, the supply of bills not being equal to the demand, there was an improvement in prices. - The shipments of specie have now entirely ceased. There is still, however, a great degree of caution among capitalists, chiefly arising from the great discredit growing out of the position of the State debts. The influences of those defal cations extend through every description of borrowing paper; and, while the Banks eagerly seek after good bus siness paper, the generality of paper offering cannot be done short of 1 to 14 per cent per month. STATE OF TRADE.—There is but little doing in the general markets since the close of the canal. Ashes—A small lot of pots have been taken since our last at 5 dollars 75 cents. There is snore demand at that price, but holders refuse to sell at less than 5 dollars 874 cents. We have heard of no sales of pearls. Cotton—The transactions yesterday amount ed to about 700 bales. Flour—There is no change to notice in prices. The market is dull. We quote common brands Canal at 6 dollars 25 cents. COTTON TRADE.—The accounts from the crops continue to be contradictors. Many statements from the Mississippi represent a great falling off in the production of these sec tions, and estimate the yield of the year at not more than 1,300,000 bales. Others place it at 2,000,000 bales. This great discrepancy arises from the state of financial affairs, and it is not improbable that a very great reduction in the production of cotton will take place during the present year through the operation of the general bankrupt law, which may lead to suspension of business on all those plan tations which were stimulated into activity by the paper ex pansions a few years since, and have been struggling for life by the extensive bank favours that must now be brought to a close. It is scarcely possible to estimate the extent to which the cotton production may be reduced by the change. The result will be an immense gain to those planters that are on a substantial basis. The receipts of Cotton thus far, how ever, present an increse over that for the same period of last year. Loss or THE STEAM SHIP SAVANNAH.—The pilot boat Caroline, boarded off Charleston bar 4th inst., the schooner Warren, from Boston for New York, the captain of which informed the pilots that the steam ship Savannah had sunk off Cape Hatterass, on Sunday night, 28th ultimo, when the crew and passengers took to three of the boats, one of which he fell in with a short time after they h ad em barked, the other boats had separated, and, in all probability, went down, as there was a tremendous sea at the time. The intelligence from Tennessee is most exciting. The locofocos of the senate have refused to vote in the conven tion of the two houses to elect United States senators, and on the 4th inst. the legislative business was at a stand.— New York Morning Herald of 15th Dec. SECOND EDkTION. Standard-qffice, Eleven o'clock THE UNITED STATES BANK Since our first edition went to press we have received a later file of American papers. From them we learn that a Mr. Austin Montgomery, of Philadelphia, addressed the fol lowing letter to the grand jury, in session, on the Ist instant. " I charge Nicholas Biddle, Joseph Cowperthwaite, Thomas Dunlop, Samuel Jaudon, and John Andrews, with fraud and theft, in taking and using for their own benefit, and accommodating their friends, the money be longing to the stockholders of the United States Bank, which they are liberally paid to guard and not to abuse. My proof is the report of the Investigating Committee, made to the stockholders in April, 1841. A 5 to the idea of the above being a breach of trust only, 'tis not so—'tis too idle and insulting to be pretended to be entertained fora moment. Away with it, then, and for ever. Those men were servants, and paid for their services—so are your family domestics, to whom you give in charge your plate and other valuables. But if they appropriate it or them to themselves, they are unhesitatingly charged with and proceeded against as for theft—and why not N. Biddle and the rest f" The grand jury in return thought they could do no less than ask the court to direct the attorney-general to send up to them bills of indictment against the following persons :- Ist. N. Biddie, S. Jaudon, J. Andrews and others, to the jury unknown, for entering into a conspiracy to defraud the stockholders of the Bank of the United States of the sum or sums of 400,000 dollars in the year 1836, and endeavouring to conceal the same by a fraudulent entry hi 1840. 2d. N. Biddie, E. Cowperthwaite, T. Dunlop, and others to the jury unknown, for entering into a conspiracy to de fraud, &c., the stockholders of the Bank of the United States, during the years 1836-7-8-9 and 40, by which the stockhold ers have been defrauded out of a sum or sums of money ex ceeding three hundred thousand dollars. 3d. The Grand Jury do further ask for a bill of indictment against Alexr. Lardner, Thomas Dunlop, Richard Price, Lawrence Lewis, and George Handy, and others to the Jury unknovin, for feloniously, &c., conspiring to cheat and de fraud the stockholders of the United States Bank of Pennsyl vania, of the sum of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars in the year 1840. The Attorney-General has declared his willingness to draw up the bills, but one or two of the Judges seem not disposed to take such direct steps in the matter, and for the present the matter remains stationary. The Herald of the 15th publishes a correspondence be tween Lord Aberdeen and Mr. Stevenson; but nothing de finite can be gathered from it. MISCELLANEOUS Cowslips and wild strawberries, in fine perfection, were gathered last week at Bullermoor, and at Crawford Farm, near Northallerton. The death of Lord Douglas Halyburton, late M.P. for For farshire, took place on the evening of Christmas Day, at nine p.m., at his lordship's town residence, Warren's Hotel, Re gent-street. _ _ - REMARKABLE CLOSING OF A COAL-MINE.---On Tuesday, whilst the workmen of the coal-pit of Mr. John Buckley, at Marl Field, Crompton, were absent from the mine, the shaft suddenly closed up, so that the coal-pit was entirely destroyed. About £4OO is said to have been expended in forming this now extinct colliery. The number of paper mills throughout the kingdom amounts to about 300; of these only 120 are in operation. At Maidstone, where paper is the staple manufacture, only 23 vats out of 51 are used, and out of seven machines only one is at work. It is a remarkable circumstance that since the great earth quake in 1827, no wheat will grow on the coast of Peru. In some places, indeed, a little is raised ; but it is very unpro ductive. Rice, on the contrary, yields a great return. Be fore the earthquake one grain of wheat yielded 200 grains. TESTIMONIAL TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS.-It is arranged that the dinner to the above no bleman, at which his grace is to be presented with a testimo nial from the agriculturists of England, shall take place on the 11th of February next. The steam-ship Savannah, from New York for New Or leans, sprang a leak in a gale off Cape Hatteras, and shortly afterwards sank. Part of the crew and passengers saved themselves in a boat, which fortunately fell in with a brig. Several people were left on the wreck ; they had a boat, but whether they betook themselves to it was doubtful. The Savannah was commanded by Captain Crane, who is well known in London. He, his lady, and son, were among the persons saved. ACCIDENT AT NIAGARA FALLS.—The Buffalo papers relate, that a boat with three men went over the Falls of Niagara, on the night of Monday, the 22d of November. They had started from Schlosser at nine o'clock, intending to cross over to Hudson's Tavern, two miles above Chip pewa. Shortly after they left the shore, cries from the river were heard at Field's tavern near by, but excited no atten tion, as similar noises are very common in that quarter from boatmen passing to and fro. No suspicion of the accident arose until Thursday, when evidence of the fate of the boat and her crew was presented in the fragments found in the eddy below the Falls. It is supposed that the boat was struck by a squall, and being heavily loaded, sank ; the men on board being swept away by the relentless current down the American rapids and over the frightful precipice below ! The names of the two were J. D. Kinney and J. York, and the other was a stranger, who had merely taken passage for Canada. FALMOUTH, DEC. 26.—We have an arrival to-day of the Star packet, Lieutenant Smith, from Mexico, with dates from Tampico of the 7th ult., Vera Cruz of the 16th, and Havan nah the 26th, and bringing 150,000 dollars only. In poli tics we have little news from this quarter, and as regards commercial matters the reduction of the consumo duty to the old scale had given a new impulse to the trade of the repub lic, and considerable quantities of manufactured goods of all descriptions had lately been sent into the interior, which in some measure tended to relieve the heavy stocks on the coast. Nevertheless, the market at Vera Cruz still remained in a state of great depression, and sales had not improved. Prices in general were consequently very low. A new law had been published in Mexico, according to which all ordi nary cotton goods imported into that country which came under the act of prohibition, were henceforth to be burnt, by the custom-house ; the importers to be made liable, not only for the duties, but also to a fine equal to the value of the goods at the place of importation. It was not expressed in this law whether it was to take effect immediately, or whe ther its application only was to begin after the expiration of six months usually granted for the alteration of any tariff. On the other hand, some reforms in the tariff, beneficial to foreign trade, were spoken of, but it was doubtful their being r carried into effect. The Montrose steamer, with the Penin sular mails, has not vet arrived though now due a week. It is supposed she has met with an accident to her machinery, which obliged her to return to port. Such occurrences are not 'infrequent during the winter season. t DWI! ht, of @stir/10es the quantity of 11,202,375 tons per hour; and Dar make 1,672,704,000 cubic feet per hour ; while another thor, Picken, makes the quantity to be 113,510,000 gene lculatea or 18,524,000 cubic feet per minute THE RECENT MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT Oisl THE WESTERN RAILWAY.—The coroner's jury in this c awarded the " deocland of £lOOO on the engine, tender, and carriages, on the grounds that more watchmen should have been employed to watch the cutting, and the danger of placing the passengers next the engine, with a recommendation that a portion of the spoil-bank be removed from the sides of the road." THE EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD.—Amongst the victims of this heartless robbery is a major in the army, who had nearly £40,000 worth of the forged Exchequer-bills. Thus has a . . brave and veteran officer 'seen suddenly reduced from af ence to poverty. No doubt an appeal will one of these days appear in our journals in behalf of the destitute family of this gallant but now pauperised man. This is not an isolated case; others, equally heart-rending, are connected with that diabolical fraud. ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENON.—On Tuesday night, about eight o'clock, a band of fire, apparently about a yard in length, its sides having somewhat the appearance of a big bellied bottle, its mouth resembling a large trumpet, and its top tapering towards a point was observed slowly, and in a perpendicular direction, to descend almost immediately above the Clyde, betwixt Hutchinson's-bridge and Peat-bog. Having approached, as it seemed in the distance, to within a few yards of the stream, it instantaneously burst asunder like a huge firework, and almost instantaneously vanished. Persons at a distance, ignorant of the cause, imagined than it was a vivid flash of lightning, its reflection, on bursting, having spread a luried glare over the prevailing wintry gloom. —Glasgow paper. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A woman, named Mary Stewart or Pebbles, residing in the Wallace Fens. was found lying lifeless in bed, betwixt her two children, on the morning of Thursday week. It is thought that she died from utte► starvation, her husband, James Pebbles, a labourer, having , deserted her without making the smallest provision for her or .her family. She had become sickly, and had received a small sum for her support from the Kirk-Session ; but the man returned, and the poor woman's pittance was withdrawn. In this helpless condition, with increasing sickness, the cold hearted villain again abandoned her; and, after disposing of the whole of her household effects, she had to have recourse to the cold band of charity, which, in her distressed condi tion, she found it impossible to do.—Dundee Advertiser. A singular occurrence took place in the church of Brom yard during the morning service on Christmas day, in con sequence of a lad, about 14 years of age, having inconsider ately placed in his waistcoat pocket a quantity of lucifer matches with phosphorus, which by casual friction became ignited. The congregation were suddenly alarmed at seeing a dense smoke issuing from the pew in which the family were sitting, and for several minutes much confusion prevailed. Of necessity the service was suspended, whilst the vicar and many of the parishioners were endeavouring to prevent the congregation from rushing out of their seats, wader the ap prehension that the building was on fire ; and by these means and by the exertions of those immediately on the spot, the alarm subsided with comparatively slight personal injury to any one. The fright and confusion however tended to un settle the feelings of the whole congregation, and the effluvia from the phosphorus continued to affect many of them during the continuance of divine service.— Worcester Journal. SLAUGHTER-HOUSE MA STERS.—By the term "slaughter house masters," I mean a race of mean, selfish, but rich men, who have usurped the place of our " old English mer chants," who collect every branch of trade into one focus, who have immense wealth, and are ever on the look out, in every market, for " cheap goods," i. e. for poor manufactu rers, who are in difficulties. From these men they purchase (or in more proper terms, they rob and steal, by taking ad vantage of their distress) large quantities of goods at thirty, forty, or fifty per cent. below " cost prices." These goods are then re-sold by them, at a profit, but still under the price which they cost the manufacturer. The fair trader is then shown these " cheap" articles, by his own customers, who have purchased them of the slaughter-house men, and, though he is not himself a needy man, he is, of course, obliged to lower the price of his own goods, and when he returns home, he is forced to reduce the wages to his work-people, or he must give up manufacturing.—Oastler's Fleet Papers. At the farm- steading of Mr. Douglas, of Kirkaldy, a hen lately took up her abode with a young pig, and laid an egg every morning, which grumphy as regularly made his break fast of. The hen, after sitting the usual period, walked out with the pig (she having, as she seemed to assume, hatched him). and she now goes about, cluck, clucking, with her four footed brood, and feeds him in the usual way hen does her chickens. He lies at night with his head under her wing (being two or three times as big as herself), and if any person attempts to touch him, she flies at them furiously. Some times, when going about the doors,v:ith him, he takes it in his head to have a dance, when she seems a little astonished, and runs backwards and forwards after him, trying to check his daffin' ; but in vain until it suits himself. He proves a most unruly and ungrateful fellow ; for, notwithstanding all her care and attention, he goes off and leaves her sometimes, at which she appears to be very uneasy. She feeds out of the same trough with him, and when she gets a particularly good piece, she ticks, ticks, until he comes and takes it from her. —Scotch Paper. .A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.'}. -7-TO judge by the accounts received from the model republic, the Mississippi bonds would seem to offer a strong inducement to capitalists to invest in them. It appears that the state of Mississippi " resists the payment of the 5,000,000 of dollars instate bonds, delivered to the Mississippi Union Bank, and nego tiated by that institution." The governor of the state, who rejoices in the name of M`Nutt, and who, it is said by the Richmond Inquirer, in which his letter is published, " truly understands the feelings and opinions of the people of Mis sissippi,"—is of opinion that the bonds will not be paid, and thus expresses that opinion. " I firmly believe that POOR FIFTHS of the people of this state PREFER GOING TO WAR TO PAYING THE BONDS.. There can be little doubt *of this,—for where is there to be found so ready a soldier as be who has nothing to lose and all to gain ? The people of Mis sissippi seem to belong to that category of persons of whom the renowned Caleb Baldwin of pugilistic memory was the head, as we find it recorded in heroic verse— " And for settling of balances, all I know is 'Tis the way Caleb Baldwin prefers settlin g hi . - This is unquestionably a very satisfactory mode of settling the question,—but we may be permitted to ask,with whom are the belligerent Mississippians going to war? Is it Kil kenny-cat fashion, amongst themselves, or do they propose to disturb the harmony of the United states ?--11forning Herald. DARING BURGLARY.—The house of Robert Hughes,_ a small farmer living at a place called Glascoed fach, on the borders of this county, about four miles from Oswestry, but in the parish of Llansilin, Denbighshire, was entered by a band of ruffians about two o'clock in the morning of Friday last. The burglars must evidently have been acquainted with particulars as to the circumstances of Hughes and his family, for the first thing they enquired after was " the money for the cow," he having sold one at the last fair held in this town. Being a careful man he had deposited the proceeds in a bank, and of which they were disappointed. It appears there were four of them in the gang, two of which entered the house, the others remaining outside. With these two the poor fellow and his wife had a severe encounter, and whom it would appear they successfully resisted. The ruf fians were disguised, and armed with strong crowbars, one of great length, and similar to those used in the limestone quarries of the adjoining neighbourhood. Hughes was most dreadfully abused about the head, and, from the nature of the wounds, being inflicted by such murderous weapons, must have had a miraculous escape. His aged wife did her utmost to assist him, and in return received some very serious con tusions from blows, kicks, &c. Finding themselves nearly worsted they made a signal for another of the party to come to their assistance, and the poor helpless man and his wife were overcome. The villains had their faces blacked, and were otherwise disguised, one of them having his shirt over what other garments he may have worn at the time. Disap pointed, no doubt, at not finding the money poor Hughes had received for his cow, they dealt out their murderous vengeance with a heavy hand, and he survives only by a miracle. His courageous partner fared no better than him self, both, when first seen in the morning, presenting fright ful spectacles. The robbers took away with them wearing apparel, eight pennyworth of copper, a few pounds of butter, some bacon and salted pork, and other trifling articles. A pretty accurate description of the burglars is given ; and, although on Tuesday morning no tidings had been received of their being taken, strong hopes are entertained of a clue to their detection. In addition to Hughes and his wife, there was a young girl in the house, who fortunately escaped the notice of the robbers. Having had their wounds dressed and promptly attended to by Mr. E. D. Bennion, surgeon, Hughes and his wife are likely to get the better of the dread ful outrage ; yet, from the last accounts we have received, the woman is in a very languishing condition. A reward has been offered for the discovery and apprehension of the parties, and the most praiseworthy exertions were being made by the surrounding neighbourhood to bring them to justice. The crow-bars are supposed to have been stolen from the Treflach lime-stone quarries.—Salopian Journal. DARING AND EXTENSIVE BURGLARY. — One Of the most daring outrages ever perpetrated in this country, and more like those which were wont to be committed in Ireland, or by the bandits of Italy or Spain, took place on the night of the 22d instant, at South Wraxhall, near Bath, when five armed burglars broke into the house of John Awdry, Esq., between the hours of eleven and twelve. They had effected an entrance by the parlour window, having forced the shutter and broken a pane of glass. Miss Awdry had retired to her room, where she remained for some time ; whilst there she heard a noise in the rooms below, of which she (supposing it was caused by the servants remaining up to iron) did not take much notice ; but the disturbance continuing, she rose from her seat to proceed down stairs to reprove them for making the noise. As she turned towards the door, some one at the outside gave a knock; she immediately opened it, and to her great surprise she found three men and a boy upon the landing. Two fellows were left below as out-door and in-door watch. With remarkable self-possession Miss Awdry inquired " What do yo want ?" to which one of the men re plied, at the same time menacing her with a pistol, "We want all we can get, and if you make any noise we will give you the contents of this." The father of the young lady is an aged and infirm gentleman; and Miss A.wdry fearful of the conse quences that might result to him, where he to be disturbed by any sudden alarm, submitted to the indignities offered by these ferocious wretches, without a murmur, under a pledge from them that they would not disturb her father. In the first place, they asked her how many there were in the house, and being told only herself, two servants, and her father, they compelled Miss Awdry to precede them to the servants' room ; this done, the girls were awoke and threatened in a similar manner as their mistress. In this room the thieves broke open a box, from which they stole a silver thimble and a shilling belonging to one of the servants. They then (com pelling Miss Awdry to accompany them to point out the pro perty) visited every room, ransacked every drawer, closet, and cupboard, selecting everything which they considered worthy of their notice. In one cupboard they found some brandy and salt, which they drank very speedily, but which they af terwards found to be more troublesome than was anticipated. After taking possession of gold and silver plate, and other ar ticles, to the number of 222, they sat themselves down in one of the rooms, and with the most perfect nonchalance ordered Miss Awdry to bring them money and wine, at the same time again showing the pistol ; the sideboard was at once unlocked, and two decanters of wine placed upon the table, accom- panied by £l5. This money did not satisfy the wretches, and they demanded more. Miss Awdry remarked that she had no more, when they threatened that they " would go up to the old man ;" and that if she resisted they would shoot her. "Do as you please with me, but don't go near my fa ther," was the answer of the affectionate daughter ; and she went to her father's room to look for more money. She re turned with £l5 more, but that did not satisfy the villains, who swore that they must have some more "to drink her health with." Finding that remonstrance would be in vain, Miss Awdry went a second time to her father's room, and took from his pocket one sovereign and some silver, which she gave to them ; after which they wished her good morn ing, and left the house with their valuable booty. ' Most of the plate stolen is marked with a lion's head in a Ducal Co ronet. The daring character of the outrage has greatly alarmed all the neighbourhood about Bradford, more espe cially those inhabiting solitary houses, whose inmates dread a similar midnight visit from a gang whose numbers are suffi cient to overpower a whole family. £25 is offered as a re. ward for the detection of the villains, who are thought to be London thieves, and it is to be hoped that the county of Wilts will see the propriety of raising the reward to £lOO. The police of this and all the adjoining counties .are duly ap prised of these circumstances, and we sincerely wish that the villains may speedily be captured.— Worcester Journal. partly ascribed to letters patent granted h herself, and tife old gentleman prided hir trait of her majesty : to him many ye her old stewari Etta Harcourt join the teetotal it was too 1 G old sc )od his head and said, he had belonged to tl for him to . begin, and that Lool too long for any_suph ..ct on him threatened di dividuals who svishE To some in( ,e has left his pump and rain.! traint for poor-rates v what sudden decease. to join the teetotallers butt.—Oxford Herald. The Dublin Statesman contains a correspondence illustra tive of the system of papal government in her majesty's dominions. The parties to the correspondence are Lord Clifford and the Hon. Mr. Cavendish, proprietor and editor of a Mayo newspaper. It appears that Dr. 0' Finan, amiable gentleman, known to Lord Clifford, was some y, ago titular bishop of Killala, when he was libelled in Mr Cavendish's newspaper, brought an action against Mr. Ca vendish, and recovered £5OO damages. It was discovered in the course of the trial that the author of the libel was a Ro man catholic priest. A false version of the story, in which the libeller priest was made the defendant, instead of Mr. Cavendish, was carried to the Pope, who, by the advice of his cardinals, deprived Dr. 0' Finan of his titular bishopric, and deprived the rev. gentleman has been for many years.' The fact of the misrepresentation came to Lord Clifford's know ledge during a late visit to Rome, and his lordship, interested for his old friend, calls upon Mr. Cavendish to state the trnth—a demand with which that gentleman promptly corn plies.—There are two things remarkable in this affair ; first, the extreme negligence of justice with which the See of Rome exercises its tyranny in her majesty's dominions. Dr. 0' Finan is permitted to suffer for years under the effect of a mistranslation, as Mr. Thomas Hood would say, the only translation injurious to a bishop. The second and more im portant consideration, however, is the insult, approaching to a declaration of war, offered to the British throne, in the cause assigned, falsely as it happened, tor Dr. 0' Finan's punishment,—he " had brought an action against a priest before a lay protestant tribunal." This is, we suppose, enough to show the spirit of the papacy, even in the middle of the nineteenth century. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY. — One of the most singular effects of railways upon the growth of towns is to found at Middlesborough, a shipping port, on a branch of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. This little town at the terminus of the Darlington and Stockton Railway, from which there is a branch to Middlesborough, has sprung completely into existence in the course of about ten years, and now numbers about 5,000 inhabitants, with a church, market, and all the appurtenances of a town of active indus try and business. Many of its houses bear the appearance of being occupied by persons in very comfortable circum stances, and the town looks more like one of settled and matured habits than of recent growth. It is a good speci men of what trade induced by railways can do, although it is only fair to state that prosperity is in some measure arising from larger ships being enabled to lie there than at Stockton. —Northern Times. THE NEW MANURE.—We have received several commu nications during the past week, relative to the discovery of a new manure, by Mr. Daniel, of Twerton, which we reported fully last week in the proceedings of the Bristol. Agricultural Society. We have it asserted by himself, that upon land of a very inferior quality—which ought not to be sown with wheat more than once in four or five years—he raised four successiv crops of wheat, averaging from five to six sacks per acre, and weighing 641bs. per bushel ; and he calcelates that the crop for 1841 would be seven sacks. He farther adds, that the crop of straw in each year was exceedingly heavy, quite equal alone in 'value to any one entire crop of grain or other produce grown on the land during the uine years which he possessed it. Moreover, we have the statement of a gen tleman, with a mind free from all bias, and one fully compe tent to' judge, that the land upon which Mr. Daniel has tried his experiment, is in a bad situation, that it is of a bad character, and that " according to the rules of good cultiva tion, wheat ought not to have been grown upon it more than once in four or five years ;" * * * " yet upon this land, without having the advantage of good cultivation (for Mr. Daniel is a bad farmer), he could say the amount of wheat grown was above the average crop of the united Kingdom on its average soil—viz., 641 b. per bushel; and these results had been produced with a diminution of the seed applied of two thirds." * * "He has seen the ears of corn growing on the land, and he had no more hesitation in believing all be heard respecting it than he had in believing that be was then addressing them." Then, again, the manure will be exceed ingly cheap, the cost per acre being estimated at between Iss. and 20s. ; it is light in its bulk, and can Iv conveyed at a small cost to different parts of the country. We are glad to find that experiments are about to be tried by several of the principal agriculturists of the kingdom. At a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, held at London on the 11th instant, the Duke of Richmond said, He would try it on any land the party liked ; he had some very poor and some sery good land, and he would make a very fair re port of the result. His lordship had no doubt that his noble friends, Earl Spencer and Earl Ducie, would try it also, and then all could make report." In our own neighbourhood, William Miles, Esq., and Captain Scobell, are about to try it ; therefore, ere the lapse of another year, we shall be put in possession of the results of the various experiments, which, if they should prove favourable (and at present we see no reason to doubt it), will confer incalculable benefits upon the agriculture of this country; so that, in the lan guage of Mr. Miles, " England will not only grow wheat sufficient for its own population, bat will become an export ing country."—Bristol Mirror. A Romarrric STORY.--A Bayonne journal gives the fol lowing romantic tale from the Aldudes ;—•" In the valley of the Bastan lived two brothers on the most affectionat terms, occupying the cottage, and enjoying the small perty left them by their parents, in common. Ramon, the eldest, was a robust man, cultivating the land, leading the cattle to pasture, and seldom returning home without game of his own killing. Many a wolf fell from the bullets of his Antonio, the younger, was less pro- gun, or his iron-shod sta in size and stiwogth, amiable, contenting himself with per forming domestic daties, even works of the needle, consult ing in all things the tastes and comforts of his more hardy brother. Antonio had been taught to read, and thereby was enabled to amuse Ramon during long winter eveniugs, while he was mending his nets and tackle. In a cottage near them resided a respectable family of Saville, composed of a father, mother, and three daughters. Mariana, the eldest, acknow ledged to be the prettiest girl of the valley, not only managed the household affairs of her own dwelling, but frequently aided,Antonio with her advice. In time, Antonio became enamoured of Mariana, and made a confidant of his brother, who, approving his choice, urged him to declare his love. The timidity of the youth, however, prevented him from speak ing, and he at length was so melancholy from the weight of his love, that Ramon determined to go and demand Mariana in marriage for Antonio. The parents raised no objections to the match, and said they would refer to their daughter. Days and nights passed away, and no answer was sent, al though Mariana continued her accustomed assiduities at the cottage of the brothers. Antonio at length was so reduced by this suspense that he took to his bed. On seeing his dis tress Ramon threw aside all his Spanish haughtiness, and went again to his neighbours to require their answer. He was again referred to Mariana, whom he reproached with her obduracy. Thus pressed, Mariana declared that she loved another, and, hiding her face from shame, avowed that, other to be Ramon ! Overwhelmed as by a thunder bolt, the unhappy youth, uttering some incoherent expres sions, rushed to the bedside of his brother, told in two words the fatal truth, and dropped lifeless on the floor. Antonio became frenzied, and has since expired, also raving out the name of his beloved brother. They have both been interred in the same grave •, and, in three days afterwards, Mariana died of grief for the loss of Ramon." SINGULAR DEATII.—A lady arrived in Exeter last Mon day week, bringing a female servant with her. On the day after her arrival, the latter broke a looking-glass. She be came greatly alarmed at the trifling accident, covered the glass over with a handkerchief, and turned it to the wall that she might not see it. She expressed her conviction that it foreboded a life of trouble and misfortune, and could not dis miss the subject from her mind. She said " she should never prosper in the world again." Haunted by this idea, she be came sad and dejected, and went to bed on the Wednesday, two days after the accident, poorly and miserable, retiring earlier than usual on account of her illness. The next day she was worse, and her mistress desired her not to get up. On Friday one of the most experienced of the medical gentle men of the city was called in. He found her free from bodily pain, but suffering under a perfect prostration of strength and spirits. She continued to sink till twelve o'clock the next day, when she expired, a victim to the absurd supersti tion of the dreadful consequences of breaking a looking glass.—Hampshire ?Slgadard. THE TWEED BAN K.—The first meeting of the creditors of Messrs. W. S. Batson, J. Wilson, and J. Langhorn, part ners in the Tweed Bank, Berwick, bankrupts, was held at the large assembly-room of the King's Arms Inn, in that town, on Wednesday, for the purpose of receiving proofs of debts and appointing assignees. The room was crowded to excess with anxious creditors, from town and country, throughout the day ; and, after sitting from ten o'clock in the morning till eight at night receiving proofs of debts, the commissioners adjourned the meeting until the following morning, when the business of admitting claims was resumed, and at its close the assignees were elected. The amount of proofs admitted on Wednesday and Thursday was very large, and it waa thought that the liabilities of the bank would amount to nearly £350,000. The deposits prove to be very heavy indeed, and the note circulation is also considerable. There are several large debtors to the estate, and as to the amount of dividend much must, of course, depend upon their ability to discharge, or satisfactorily compound, their obliga tions. It is believed, however, that the assets are considera ble, and that they will be divided with all practicable de spatch.—Scotch paper. MURDER OF THE BOY THOMAS MAquinx,.—Since the holding of the inquest on the remains of the above ill-fated child the county coroner, Mr. James M`Carthy, has been indefatigable iii attending to every information calcu lated to throw any light that might possibly lead to the dis covery of the perpetrator of the atrocious murder. Ad ditional depositions to those given on the inquest have from day to day been received by him in his magisterial capacity. Some portion of this goes strongly in corroboration of the former evidence, establishing the fact of the boy having been seen with the prisoner Delahunt, shortly prior to the dis covery of the body in the lane off Pembroke road : while other portions of these subsequent informations refer to different points bearing on the case. We select the follow.. ing:—James Maguire, a market boy, living at 4, Cherry-lane, Great Britain-street, was, in consequence of a statement made by him to the coroner, sent on Thursday to Kilmain ham prison, where, amongst seven or eight other persons, he he at once identified the prisoner John Delahunt, and whom he deposed to having seen, on the afternoon of Monday last, at half-past five o'clock, enter Mr. Drake's public-house, in Capel-street, with a boy, answering generally to the des cription of the deceased Thomas Maguire, whose body he had viewed also oa Thursday at the Irislitown police station house, Soon after entering the public-house Delahunt went out, leaving the boy behind him ; he returned in about a quarter of an hour, and, without mentioning any name, desired the child to come away; the little fellow did so, and they left the place. It appeared that a boy named Butler, living in Plun ket-st., had stated that on Monday he saw a man go up to the deceased, who was at the time at play with other children in Francis-street, and call him by his name, Thomas Maguire, telling him to go with him, which the other did. An infor mation was sworn by Thomas Gavan, aged 10 years, from which it appeared that while he and two other boys, named Michael Harney and John Hand, were at play in the field described at the inquest as adjoining the lane off Pembroke road, in which the murder had been committed, he found, within a few yards of the wall bounding the lane, a knife. The knife was produced. It appeared to be an ordinary breakfast knife, having a white haft, the blade rather consi derably worn, and narrowed very much towards the point, but the edge not particularly sharp. Some parts of the blade bore marks strongly resembling blood stains. There was further evidence besides that adduced before the coroner in the first instance, showing that the deceased had been seen late in the afternoon of Monday, in company with Delahunt, in the neighbourhood of Baggot-street. A person named James Mooney, resident in Eastrnorland-street, deposed, on Monday last, that on Monday evening, the 20th instant, at about ten minutes to seven o'clock, he saw John Delahunt, whom he had known by sight for some three or four weeks previously, walkin g up and down in a stable lane off East,. morland.lane. The foregoing comprises the principal of the facts elicited since Monday last. On Christmas morning the body of the murdered boy (which had lain at the Irish town police station-house since the view of it by the jury on Tuesday), was consigned to the gra ve i n St. Kevin's Church yard.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. l~;~'~itSL' pp 111,9: tiu TUESDAY, DiteNainEß ARRIVED *ern Quebec s.--Wind N.W. moderaro Matthew Brigand; Bell, from Antigua,-Commodor unette, Thompson, from Montreal—Mars, -Lady Adams, M` ',Annan, from Baltimore rarolinta, Smith. from New York• —Slargaiet, Wel4ll, from SAlLED.—Chatham, Lovell, for Africa—Connnercio, Do Dr Havana—and Lochinvar, Milh r, for Genoa and Leghorn.

CHARLES SCOTT.—How vain are often our most cherished hopes and Sir Walter Scott expected—toiled --and died—to found an estate. His family was then numerous, and the Scotts of Abbotsford were, in his imagination to rival any of the border chiefs of the olden time. A long line of descendants would regard I ?iin, the poet founder of the family, with pride and veneration ! It seems certain, now, that the direct succession will not con tinue beyond the present generation. His eldest son has no family ; the second has died in a foreign country without issue ; both his daughters are dead. Misfortune and death have lowered the crest of Abbotsford---and the halls which Sir Walter took such pride in rearing, will scarcely ever be again trod by one of his children. The only survivor is now in India. Mr. Charles Scott was in his thirty-sixth year. He was of a reserved and diffident temper and disposition, but possessed of considerable intelligence,. and a fund of quiet humour, which he delighted to exercise among his private friends. He was carefully educated at Oxford, b u t f rom hi s unobtrusive manner and retired habits, was little known, and made no exertion, beyond his official duties and a few of his friends and relations.—lnverness courier. rittv‘ WARRINGTON' CORN MARKET Total quantit Total amount Wheat, qr Barley ... 0 0 0 IIDDLR ICH CORN MARKET, DEC Wheat, old, v 7 Oats, old, solb 3 6- Beans, tip; 601 b, LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC A fair and steady Cotton market to-day, fully 2500 to 3000 bales sold, at yesterday's prices for all descritions.

SALFOItD CATTLE MARKET, pkg. 2.9 , There has beep a smaller show of both 13easts and Sheep to-da,y than for some weeks past, and. the quality of both very inferior. The demand, however, was not so good as last week, but still good enough for the supply. Prime Beef met ready sale, and brought 7d per lb., and prim WvAtber miitton 64d to 7d per lb, Every thing well sold up. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, Dr.( Short-horned Hydes sold this day at 12s each; Hydes 60 to 701bs. 3d per lb., 721bs. and upwards 31d per lb. • large skins (Irish and Yorkshire) 4s to 53 Gd ; Cheviots and half-bred 3s to 4s Gd ; Scotch 2s to 33.

BELFAST CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 28 There has been a moderate supply of farmers' Wheat at market, which meets a fair demand at former rates ; in parcels ex ship or tor there is very little passing. Foreign Wheat also in very little request, at previous prier's. Barley in very little demand, although we are unable to alter the quotations. Malt very little inquired for, at 285 to at)s per barrel Of 1701bs. Oats command lait week's rates, with a steady demand; in parcels but few transactions. Oatmeal without change in value, but little speculation in this article. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 27 • In our market of to.day the supply of Beasts was miserably de- Acient, both as respects numbers and quality, yet, owing to the unusually thin attendance or buyers, it was more than adequate to the demand. So heavy was the inquiry that pp to twelve o'clock scarcely more than 200 Beasts hid been disposed of, and those at a reduction on list week's figures of full 2d per Bibs, and a large number was turned out unsold. Sheep were tolerably plentiful, while the inquiry for them was extremely inanimate, at almost nominal rates. In Calves exceedingly little doing, at previous currencies. Neat small Porkers were fully as dear, but other Pigs were a mere drug. By the quantities of Sibs, sinking the offal. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 27 The supply of English Wheat continues moderate, and last Mon clpy's currency is fully supported. foreign sells in retail quantities at 'tlin prices of last ; there some inquiry for bottdcd with out inuOh . being tiOn'p, owing' to tlie high prices demanded. The quantity of Barley offering is large, and sales are slow at is decline, and in some instances a greater reduction has been submitted to. White Peas are is to 2s lower ; maple and grey remain the same. Beans of all sorts are inclining downwards. The Oat trade remains in the same dull state. WEDNgSDAY, Dec. 29, The supplies are good this morning, and the samples are im proved in appearance, particularly the Irish Oats ; but the trade is extremely heavy at the rates of last market day. Fine .foreign Wheat continues to be held at excessive prices, and the business is qua.e , lliantly limited to the smallest supplies for immediate µse. HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 28 At this season of the• year the general trade of the country is usually dull, and but little passing —this particularly applies to the present state of the Corn trade, for since our report of last Tuesday, there has been scarcely a business transaction, and prices of all grain may be considered without alteration. There is no home de mand for Rapeseed at this moment; but a few sales have been made for export, at the above quotations, less the duty In Linseed but little doing, and prices unaltered. Linseed cake in limited, demand at late prices. Nothing doing in Rape cake. To -day may be quite called a holiday market, from the little business passing. Old loreigp Wheat is not altered in valve, a n d when sales can be made late prices are folly paid. The show of farmers' Wheat is moderate, the best samples bring fully last week's prices : second qualities, arid those wanting condition, With difficulty find buyers. Oats and Beans are bOth dull, and but little passing in either. No sales Of Barley, unless' of the best malting quality, and even this description with' difficulty holds last week's prices. During the past Week we have had almost every variety of weather . ; the early part of which we hacrsharp frost, the latter part mild wcatlier ; today there p'again indication of frost. LIVERPOOL HAY AND 'POTATOE MARKET, DECEMBER 30, There is no change worthy of remark in the Potatee trade since the 28th instant. The country dealers as usual during Christmas week, continue to buy very sparingly, which cause a greater bulk to be thrown at the present on the retail market, but the den and for town con sumption continues steady, yet from the ahove.cause, the busines doing is more circumscribed, although we cannot note any mate rial reduction in price since our last quotations :—yiz.

Caastwise and from Ireland, since this day, week contain a fah' accession of Wheat. Barley, and Flour, with a moderate quantity of Oats, and a large increase of Oatmeal. From Canada, the United States, and Continent of Europe, collectively, the import of Wheat, Pease, and Flour is considerable, which, with several parcels of foreign Barley and Beans, furnish altogether an abundant supply. To meet these accumulations, and a liberal , display of sam ples from granary, our market this morning was well attended, and, at a decline of 2s per 701bs from the rates of this day week, the general runs- of foreign Wheat were taken of by town and country millers' more freely than of late, and with several purchases for Ireland, a fair extent of buSiness was transacted in these descriptions 1 but not much in English and very little inAriih, the inferior qualities of the latter being nearly unsaleable: In foreign Wheat under bond to arrive, no further sales have transpired. English, Irish, and duty paid foreign Flour remained in the same state as described in Friday's report. Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease continued to be scarcely noticed, anal each' may be Considered is per qr cheaper. Oats, upon a very dull sale, were rather depressed in va lue, and Oatmeal, being rood; neglected, was offered with very little effect, at an abatement of 6d per 2401b5.
