Vuttrp. LINES ON THE LAST PARTING OF A. POOR BUT VIRTUOUS CHRISTIAN AND HIS FAMILY. (For the Liverpool Standard.) The clay has yielded up its breath ; Its vital spark hath fled ; Why weep you round the bed of death ? Why mourn you for the dead ? He is not here, but he has gone ; You saw his end was peace ; Ang Brought from Heaven's all-gracious throne, down his soul's release. Dry up the fountains of your eyes, Ye kindred now forlorn ; And hail God's message from the skies, Which bids you cease to mourn. No more be feels the cold—the blight That kept his spirit chained : His faith is lost in perfect sight, His highest hope obtained: The swift-winged seraphs watched this clay Throughout the noon of night, And, with the earliest dawn of day, Unveiled the world of light; And when the eyeballs ceased to roam O'er those he loved and blest, They took the pilgrim to his home, The weary to his rest. He sleeps —no cares his slumbers bring, No dreams his rest annoy : He'll wake—when morning stars shall sing, And angels shout for joy ! Be not dejected, sad, and low, But raise your spirits higher; The Lord will be your father now, The living God your sire. Wayfarer ! count each fleeting hour ; Scan all thy works with care : This dying bed displayed the power Of penitence and prayer ! Liuerpool, 15th October, 1842. ENGLAND AS SHE WAS. (From Oasller's Fleet Papers.) • She was the cradle and the castle of well-poised liberty ; on her bosom peace and plenty were wont to crown her val leys and her plains : then the world looked to England as an example. Her powerful arm forced the oppressor to tremble ; for it was wielded by her happy, brave, and athletic sons. Her shield was the protection of injured innocence, for it was sustained by righteousness. To her the fugitives from foreign tyranny resorted, and found a safe and peaceful domicile. The nation's church was revered by her people : her clergy were then their shepherds—her nobles as their fathers. Her merchants were honoured throughout the world, as well for their integrity as for their wealth : they were once famed for honour and honesty ; now for cant and fraud. The husband man pursued his healthful career with whistling cheerfulness, for his reward was plenty ; the sound of the shuttle, mingling with the national anthems of the old and young, gave token. in our northern cottages, of healthfulness and peace ; and a plentiful reward was certain. No jealous ranklings then dis turbed the peace of the labourer if the farmer prospered ; he sighed not at the splendour of the noble. No heart-burnings disturbed the watchings of the artizan when his employer obtained profitable returns ; he envied not the wealth of the merchant. Then labour was pleasant, because it was the sure precursor of plenty and of health. In those days— and they are within my memory—the noble, the farmer, and the peasant—the merchant—the manufacturer and the ar tisan, had but one interest—their own, the nation's weal. The dull monotonous tramp of a policeman's foot was then unknown in England—that poisonous " reptile" is not indi genous. One single constable was sufficient for a town like Leeds. There was then more awe inspired by the clerical hat of the priest, than by a regiment of Dragoons—it was the debt of reverence for the office and the wearer. At his ap proach, vice was abashed, and virtue smiled. There were few factories in those days—the artisans then performed their ingenious evolutions at their homes, hence our manufacturing population were not corrupted, their bodies were hale and healthy, their minds were cheerful. The families were not then supported by the mill-labour of the mothers and chil dren—the matrons remained at home to nurse and train the younger ones, arid manage household work. As the children grew older, the father taught the boys his arts and labour — the girls were placed as servants with the more opulent neigh bours ; there they were prepared for matrimony, to become faithful and thrifty wives. The streets of our manufacturing towns were then neither disgraced by police nor prostitutes. The church was well frequented, but the churchyards were not crowded with the untimely dead—sent, by the factories, long before nature called for them. We bad no large crowded prisons then, containing hun dreds—one small lock-up was all that Leeds required ; and it was oftener without a tenant than occupied. Our hospi tals and workhouses were not then crowded with factory cripples. There was then no WANT for INDUSTRY — pIenty crowned her board. If casual n.isfortune visited, the willing hand of Christian benevolence was ready to relieve and remedy—if its stay was lengthened and cureless, the workhouse received the houseless and the " dateless." But the inmates of that last home of the destitute were not exiled— their friends could visit them, and administer comfort and relief. Nay, from that house, how often have I seen them welcoma visi tors at the abodes of the wealthy, their former friends and neighbours. England was England then ! But now, alas, how changed ! CLARA NOVELLO.-ENGLISH TALENT. Among the English artists who have been highly appreci ated in Italy, atter a lengthened and assiduous study of the method of that musical country, Miss Clara Novello incon testably carries away the palm. One connoisseur observes, she has learnt, with surprising facility, all that it is requisite a cantatrice should know , and, harder still, unlearnt the an ticlassical style she had so laboriously acquired during her own erroneous education. The following extract may serve to show the opinion now entertained of her. The editor of the Teatri Arti e L e tteratura, in his 971st number, states, that an intimate friend — a passionate admirer of the musical art, a connoisseur of instinctive perception and unerring taste for all that is sublime and genuine in music—has for several evenings been present at the performances of " Saffo" and of " Beatrice di Tenda" in the splendid theatre of Fermo, and adds these short, but animated, lines on Signora No vello : " My friend, I can only repeat what I have said before— La Novello is that accomplished cantatrice predestined to distinguish herself among those who are and will ever be the first artists in Europe; her extraordinary voice strikes direct to the heart, and excites the most pleasing emotions, which are sure of producing a magical effect on those who are en dowed with any heart at all. The city of Fermo is proud of her ; in these latter days she has peopled it with strangers, who called her ' the gifted one,' and hail her with enthusiasm. That part of the public justly considered the superior and cultivated class, which alone can pronounce with judgment on the merit of an artist, has dignified her as all-accomplished in the surprising management of her voice, formed at the school of the great Pesarese. These dilettanti have been unanimous and constant in their applause, arid on the night of her benefit were willing to testify their admiration of her in no ordinary way. The entrance money did not amount to less than three hundred scudi, besides a quantity of presents, and a lithograph of her of her rare beauty is shortly to ap pear, designed by the first artist, Palmardi. She sung on this memorable occasion the cavatina in ' Norma," Casta Diva,' in which not an intonation but proved her unattainable excellence. It would require a long letter to detail all the sublimity and inspiration with which • this sweet child of Italian creation ennobled her song, and how many and how great the difficulties were, which she sought not to avoid, but surprisingly overcame. The inhabitants of Fermo will long cherish her delightful souvenir, a n d many are desirous of transmitting her features to posterity, and this will be effected by those generous, honourable individuals who know how to appreciate and extol her extraordinary merit, the loftiness of her genius, and her rare and singular virtues. But all Italy knows her; every capital is eager to hear and admire her, and two of them at present are in open contention to de termine which of them shall enjoy this distinction first. — Allow me to," Sze. It is a novel and gratifying task to submit to the English reader such forced testimonies to native talent, which prove, moreover, that there is no reluctance in this pre-eminent land of harmony to acknowledge the merit of foreign artists where it really exists. This fearless justice of the Italian dilettanti, so independent of all national jealousy, which vo luntarily lavished such ardent encouragement on the syren of Covent-garden, during her residence among them, should, we think, guarantee their tribunal against the suspicion of any unworthy prejudices, when they do not feel themselves disposed to bestow a palm, which they cannot acknowledge to be merited.—Era. DREADFUL DISASTER AT SEA.—lntelligence of the fol lowing disaster, attended, there is some reason to fear, with the loss of the crew of the vessel run down, with the exeep tion of one man, the writer of the subjoined statement, reached this city on Saturday. It appears that the brig Dundonald, of Troon, D. M`Nicol, master, which sailed from this port on Tuesday evening for Troon, laden with bal last, came, shortly after her departure, in contact with the schooner Kirby, laden with slates from Dudden, a small seaport on the borders of Lancashire and Cumberland. The only particulars that we have yet learned are contained in the letter at foot, written by one of the crew of the Kirby, which letter he handed to the pilot authorities at Passage of Water ford, when he arrived in the Maid of Mostyn ; it is to be re marked that the letter is not signed with the writer's name. The Dundonald took her departure from Hook Tower at . eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, and her collision with the -,, Kirby occurred about three hours after, and about 16 miles from the hook. We learn that the night was rather cloudy, bnt that the sea was smooth, with a light breeze. While we anxiously await some_ further intelligence, and in particular the version of the occurrence to b e given by the Dundonald, we should thi nk that it appears at least somewhat probable, from the following letter, that the Kirby and the remainder ' of the crew went dow a n s : "Th is to certify that the schooner bound o Kirby, of Dudden, w passage from Dudden hours of 10 a a n n d d rpTnesdaY' the 11th to Youghal, with a ca h r e go of slates, and .ria. the brig Dun of October, betwixt t id the said schoone? - cloned, of Troon, ai entangled with the Fonnibegs master of the Schooner one another about a mile to the southwarCf Light-ship , down ?' tey saidealed out to when the us the brig, ' You will run.`Put your g down—run, save your I " s r helm down,' and immediately the vessels struck, when master called out, ' She is and ran forward, and with my shipmate, but I if you can." With that I left helm, -got hold of the brig's bobstay along b t myself. There was do not know whether he went overboard or not. There were none got on board of the brig u . e s t a t y m! over the bows. ' Oh ! dear cap one of the brig's crew assisted me ing When I got on deck I heard masternly . answer, but was giving tain stand by us,' and he gave him no was carried away. orders to his men about his jibboom, for i t I kept looking towards the schooner, and as near as I can calculate I saw her about twenty minutes, and t . he , last words I heard my captain say were ' Oh, my dear wife. I went to the captain of the brig, and said, . • You would b e tter stand towards her,' and he said, ' What good can I do ? Let us get mar jibboom in.' I wanted him to put me on board the lightship, but be would not do it, and . 1 remained on board of her till Th urs d a y, th e 13th, when I saw a schooner stand ingl in f or th e T ua k ar li g h t. I as k e d th e ca pt a in if he worryd allow his men to pull me aboard of the schooner...and he said it was a day's work, she was so far off, and two of the men said they would go, and he said ' Very well, call the,bands up.' So we lowered the boat and pulled towards the schooner and made signal to her, and she hove to until we came up to her, which w e f oun d to be the the Maid of Mostyn, Captain Edwards, bound to Ross, and I asked a ,passage from him, and he told me to come on board. It was 3 p.m. then. She was about seven miles to the E.N.E. of Tuskar light." We have not learned the name-of the writer of this statement. It :appears that he was a north of England man, and has gone on to Youghal, in the expectatio n of finding the schooner was able to prosecute her voyage. We trust that the expec tation will be realised.

Upwards of £12,000 is paid into the bank for building a Roman Catholic cathedral at Kilkenny. There are 800 puncheons of whiskey now in store in Lime rick. Sheridan Knowles (whose wife died some time since) has married Miss Elphinstone.—Canada Paper. The gross total of the sailing and steam-vessels registered in Great Britain and Ireland on the 31st December, 1841, was 23,591 vessels, and their tonnage 3,760,315 tons. The wheat crop of France in 1842 has almost doubled du ring the last thirty years, and that of potatoes increased to almost five-fold during the same period. PEACE BETWEEN PERU AND BOLIVIA.—A treaty of peace was concluded between Bolivia and Peru, at Puno, on the 7th of June, under the auspices o f the government of Chili. On some of the estates in Ireland, more particularly Drogheda, the rents, which were some time ago 15s. per acre, are now from 365. to 50s. per acre. The Bank of England has received light sovereigns to the amount of £6,500,000 sterling since the proclamation, and the average amount of new sovereigns struck at the Mint has been £300,000 per week. The leading mercantile firms in London have adopted the resolution of going on 'Change at three o'clock, and leaving at four o'clock, instead of the present custom of four o'clock until five. During the week, from the 7th to the 13th instant exclu sively, the number of passengers between France and Eng land who embarked and landed at Boulonge, was 1,239. At Calais, the number during the same period was 537. WINTER ASSIZES.—It was stated on good authority dur ing the late special commission at Stafford, that it is intended by government to have a general winter assizes throughout the kingdom, to commence in the early part of December. TASTE OF THE AGE.—In one of the New York papers we found an advertisement of a new almanac, entitled the Tragic Almanac, which was to give details of all the most horrible murders, accidents, fires, and explosions, which had taken place during the past two years. DUTIES.—On Monday last the new tariff came into operation, and American timber, which for merly paid 10s. per load, is now cleared at Is. In conse quence of this reduction, so important to the timber trade, large quantities have, within these last few days, been taken from bond at the low rate.—Caledonian Mercury. LEAPING UPON TRAINS. —On the North Midland Rail way, last week, Frederick Richardson, a " point man," lost a foot, and an inspector of workmen on the same line, named Utterly, had his head taken off, by the wheels of the train passing over him, each accident being occasioned by slipping when attempting to get upon trains in motion—a feat to which Utterly was quite accustomed. He has left a widow and four children.—Yorkshireman. METALLIC CORPSES.—A paper was read at the late meet ing of the Paris Academy of Sciences, containing the extra ordinary proposition of a M. Carnay, to employ the galvano plastic process, after embalmment, for the preservation of the human body after death ! The idea, however extravagant it may appear, is said not to be new, and that beautiful speci mens are to be seen of small animals, birds, insects, &c., which have been thus preserved. The melancholy effects of intemperate habits were mani fested in an awful manlier in Limerick on Thursday morning. The wife of a pensioner from the 93d, named M'Coy, was found dead at her residence in the Englishtown ; and on the inquisition made before the mayor it appeared that the hus band had drawn his quarter's pension the previous day, and that both had retired to bed deeply intoxicated ; there were several marks on the deceased, supposed to be the effects of a fall—the jury found accordingly. GALLANT CONDUCT. —During the passage of the Princess Royal, Captain Brock, from Madras to Calcutta, on the 22d of July, the carpenter, who was working on a stage over the side of the ship, by accident fell into the sea ; Mr. Burgess, a cadet, who was on the poop, instantly threw a rope to him, but unfortunately the carpenter did not see it and sank. Mr. Burgess then took hold of the rope and jumped overboard, and succeeded in reaching the man (who was quite insensible), and snpported him until the boat took them both up in a very exhausted state. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A bull, the property of Mrs. Middleton, of Hetningford-grey, Cambridgeshire, was missed the Ist of last month. Seventeen days after the animal was discovered alive in a ditch, fastened by the nose to the ground, in a dreadful state of emaciation. It appears, the bull having got into the ditch, had trod on the chain ap pended to the ring in its nose, and the ditch being of stiff clay the chain had become strongly embedded in the soil; the cartillage of the nose being particularly tender, he had not been able to extricate the chain. The animal is now re covered. THE OVERLAND MAIL FROM INDIA.—It is now Con fidently stated that the arrangements which have been pend ing for some time between the Bight Hon. Lord Lowther the postmaster. general, and the Austrian Director-General, for the transmission of the overland mail from India via Suez and Alexandria, by the way of Trieste. Vienna, Hamburg, and Ostend, have been concluded. This new arrangement with regard to receiving the overland mail will, in some manner, affect the present treaty of sending via Marseilles to Malta, Egypt, and India, on the 4th of each month, and by the French mail packets leaving that port on the Ist, 11th, and 25th of the month. THE WEATHER.—The fine weather we may safely say has passed away ; for some mornings psst togs on a small scale have been threatening, and occasionally made themselves manifest in the vicinity of the Thames. But yesterday morn ing, about nine o'clock, a fog, which had been gradually growing in intensity, settled down on the Strand, and, we suppose, other localities of London, particularly those ad jacent to the river, which, with now some years' experience of London fogs, was fully a match in pitchy darkness for any of them. The gas-lamps were obliged to be lighted, and the morning seemed converted into night.—London Times of Wednesday. AWFUL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—On Thursday last, an iron-lifter at Dundyvan, of thename of John Black, un dertook, for a trifling wager, to swallow a mutchkin of whisky without taking it from his head. A previous allow ance had quickened his appetite for the undertaking, and all things being ready, John swallowed the mortal dose—and one glass more !—when he bied his way home from Coat bridge to Dundyvan, in a state of utter stupefaction ; and though one of the most hardy and powerful men at the work, the poisonous potation wrought so rapidly on his constitu tion, that in less than four hours from swallowing the draught he was found a lifeless corpse, leaving a hapless wife and nu merous family to lament his intemperate and murderous folly.—Glasgow Constitutional. HINTS FOR SHAVING.-1. Get one case-hardened steel razor: if a good one more not required. Try by No. 2.- 2. No edge is good which will not cut a hair held between the finger and thumb. 3. Wash your face well with soap and water before you begin : the oily secretion of the skin is ruin to a razor. For which reason don't pass over the palm of the hand : for this reason lather long and well. 4. Don't strop much—once or twice gently, not with pressure so as to fur row or indent the surface of the strop, which turns the edges. 5. A steel will set a razor. If you get a razor hone don't use oil, use soap ; use soap, not oil to your strop. 6. Shave as mowers mow, by an up-and-down sweep, and not by a straight-forward scrape. You may thus use cold water, which saves trouble ; and you need only go over once, which saves time. Avoid oil in every shape. Joiners use oil to their tools, but Joiners do wrong. THE BISHOP OF JERUSALEM.—We extract the following from his Lordship's letter of August 1, 1842:—" Although I feel very unequal to much writing, I am unwilling to let the mail leave without adding a few lines to the full reports which are forwarded by this post from the different mem bers of the mission, particularly from Mr. Nicolayson. I feel sure you will all sympathise with us, when you hear of the sick house we have had during the last month. Every one of my household, excepting only the native servants, has had an attack of fever more or less severe. The children and the English servants have quite recovered, but Mrs. Alexander and myself are but slowly gaining strength, this having been my second attack. This is the trying season. We are obliged to leave our houses for change of air, but the only abode we can find during that time is an old con vent, about two miles from Jerusalem ; we hope to go there to-morrow. We cannot be sufficiently thankful for having all got through it so well ; and we may hope that it will bet ter prepare us for standing the climate in future." THE WINDSOR STABLES.—The new stables at Windsor, commenced under the direction of the late Sir Jeffrey Wyat ville, and now completed under the management of his as sistant and successor, Mr. Henry Ashton, are about to be handed over to their new occupants, both human and eques trian; for the benefitting accommodation of the attendants on the horses, both married and single, has been duly cared for, at the cost of a considerable portion of the outlay. All absence of show, consistent with good keeping, is most re markable throughout this indispensable appendage to a royal residence, which has not been provided, in substitution, be fore it was required, since the preceding straggling buildings would hardly be acknowledged by a decent London inn keeper. Those now prepared are calculated for 120 horses and their managers, at an expense of about £70,000, the architect, rather unusually, keeping closely to his estimate, and yet so attending to substantiality throughout, that they may last, for ought it appears, a century without repair, and remain a coeval monument of the good taste and sense of those who planned and executed the erection both of those and the extensive addition to the princely castle.—Observer. A pleasing illustration of the respect in which the clergy are held by their flocks occurred at Ripple, in this county, on Wednesday last. The Rev. G. Hill Clifton, the Rector of that parish, returned with his lady, to whom he has been lately united, from a continental tour, after an absence of a few weeks, on the evening of that day, and was met at the entrance of the grounds belonging to the Rectory by a large body of his parishioners with hearty acclamations, and evi dent tokens of joy at his return. The road to the Rectory had been decorated with triumphal arches, and garlands of choice flowers, intermingled with white favours ; and young ladies dressed in white presented elegant bouquets to the worthy Rector and his lady. The music of the tine peal of bells from the old tower, and the merry faces of the villagers, made it quite a scene of mirthful hilarity ; and the numerous persons present were plentifully regaled with cider at the ex pense of the Rector. On Friday afternoon, Mr. Clifton and his amiable lady invited the wives and daughters of the cot tagers to tea, which was given on the lawn of the Rectory, and upwards of 200 females, with 100 children belonging to the Sunday schools, partook of the beverage, with an abun dant supply of bread and butter and plum cake, and departed highly delightel. On Sunday last the choir of the beautiful parish church, accompanied by their excellent organ lately erected, chaunted the service of the day, and performed several choice anthems, on the occasion of the appearance of the bride and bridegroom within the walls of that fabric.— Worcester Journal. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—OD Saturday evening last, Mr. Charteris, farmer, Williefield, having, like many others during this remarkable dry season, run short of water, sent two of his servants to procure a supply from the neighbouring stream of the Cairn. The servants' names were Thomas Jackson and Janet Carson; and accompanied by a little girl, a daughter of Mr. Charteris, they proceeded, about six o'clock, with a cart drawn by a fine mule to a pool in the Cairn, about a mile off, a little above Gribton Ford, and nearly opp os it e Irongray Church. Having left the little girl on the bank the man drove his cart some yards up the ea ; and it would appear that from some motive or other he had endeavoured to turn the cart round to go down aga in, but most un l uckily drove into deep water , w h ere th e mu le forthwith lostits footing.

SECOND EDITION. Standard-o f fice, Three o'Clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Tats DAY. (From Messrs. R. MAKIN 8• SONS' Circular.) There is no alteration to notice this week in the duties on any kind of foreign produce; nor much probability of any material change for some time to come. The arrivals of the past few days are almost exclusively from Ireland, whence a fair supply of Oats and Oatmeal has been received, but no increase to the late average quantity of Wheat and Flour, the manufacture of the latter being less practicable, on account of the long dry season, and the con sequent partial insufficiency of water for working the mills ; of foreign grain vessels none have been reported since our last; and coastwise we have nothing worth naming fresh in for to-day. Since Tuesday we have experienced only a limited retail inquiry for any article of the trade, and no change has been observable from the quotations of that date. Although our Corn-Exchange this morning was by no means numerously attended by either local or country millers, the Wheat trade assumed a rather steadier aspect than of late ; and in addition to a moderate demand for consump tion, a few parcels of foreign Wheat were disposed of to speculative buyers for future re-sale, at prices nearly, and in sorr e instances quite, equal to the current rates of Tues day. English and Irish Wheats also, though not in lively request, were held on the terms then stated. Flour, without any active or extensive business therein, moved off gradually, all descriptions remaining unaltered in value. Malting and Grinding Barley, as well as Malt, appeared to meet a slow, limited demand, and scarcely maintained our last quotations.—Beans and Pease continued to be taken off sparingly at former prices. Induced by the considerable decline in Oats and Oatmeal, during the last few weeks, the operations in both these arti cles were more extensive to-day thariof late, and each fully supported the reduced rates noted in Tuesday's circular.

THE NUTMEG STATE.—The following toast was given ai a public dinner in the nutmeg producing state of Connecticut viz.—" The NUTMEG State. Where shall we find a grater ?' SWAPPING WIVES.—" John, I wish it was as much the fashion to trade wives as it is to trade horses." " Why so, Peter ?" " I'd cheat somebody most shockin bad afore night."—New Orleans Balletin. STAYMAKER'S PUN.--A poor corset maker, out of work, and starving, thus vented her miserable complaint : " Shame that I should be without bread, I that have stayed the stomachs of thousands. - - JUST SENTIMENT.—A noble heart will disdain to subsist, like a drone, upon the honey gathered by others' labour— like a leech, to filch its food out of the public granary—or like a shark, to prey on the lesser fry ; but will one way or other earn his subsistence. ANTI-MATRIMONIAL PARISH.—A correspondent informs us that the parish of Silchester, famed far and near for its remains as a Roman town, is scarce less worthy of note for the numbers of bachelors and spinsters it contains. Some time since, at a vestry dinner held there, it was a remarkable be , , that there was not a married man amongst the party, which consisted of seven ; and on a reccnt occasion, when a gentlema❑ from a distant county, by way of example, led one of the damsels of the neighbourhood to the altar, the minister could not tell him the amount of the fees, declaring, that though he had been in office for ten years, this was the first marriage by license that had taken place.—Berkshire Chronicle. THE FRENCH REGALIA.—The general inventory of the diamonds, pearls, and jewels of the Crown of France was first made under the empire in 1810. A versification of that inventory took place under Louis XVIII on his return from Ghent, whither those jewels had been carried during the hundred days ; and all the different pieces having been taken usurider, the diamonds, pearls and jewels, which composed them weighed and valued, it was found that those jewels amounted in number to 61,312, that they weighed 18,751 7- 32 carats, and were worth 20,900,260 f. A new versification was lately made, in virtue of the law of the 2nd of March, 1832, by Messrs. Bapst and Lazare, the jewellers of the Crown, and no change was found either in their number, weight, or value.—Commerce. THE ABOMINABLE DOCTRINE OF INDULGENCES.—Ac cording to the doctrine of the Romish Church, all the good works of saints, over and above those which were necessary for their own justification, are deposited, together with the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, in one inexhaustible treasury. (Who these saints were it is hard to know, for the true saints of Christ never had works sufficient even fur them selves ; for they were justified by faith only). The keys of this were committed to St. Peter (poor Peter never had such keys), and to his successors the popes (a monstrous figment), who may open it at pleasure, and by transferring a portion of this superabundant merit to any particular person for a sum of money (this discloses the whole secret,—the very end of the impious device), may convey to him either the pardon of his own sins, or a release for any one in whose pardon he is interested from the pains of purgatory (a place falsely taught to exist to gain money). Such indulgences were first invented in the eleventh century (an age, not of faith, as the Tractarians teach us, but of gross superstition and abject credulity) by Pope Urban 11., as a recompense for those who went in person upon the meritorious enterprise of conquering the Holy Land. They were afterwards granted to those who hired a soldier for that purpose ; and in process of time were bestowed on such as gave money (no pardons without money at Rome!) for accomplishing any pious work enjoined by the pope.—Dr. Robertson's Works, vol. v. p. 76. • THE POPISH SYSTEM OF COMPOSITION FOR CRIMES. — As the idea of composition for crimes was then familiar (that is, during the dark ages), this strange traffic was so far from shocking mankind, that it soon became general (so that it could plead " unanimous consent"); and in order to prevent any imposition in carrying it on, the officers of the Roman Chancery published a book, containing the precise sum to be exacted for the pardon of every particular sin. A deacon guilty of murder was absolved for twenty crowns (:£5.) A bishop, or abbot, might assassinate for three hundred livres (.£l2. 10s.) Any ecclesiastic might violate his vows of chastity, even with the most aggravating circumstances (by rape or adultery) for the third part of that sum (about £4.) Even such shocking crimes as occur seldom in human life, were taxed at a very moderate rate. (And this is the Holy Catholic Church, governed by infallible Popes !)—ld. p., 101. QUEEN MARY'S HUNTING IN ATHOL, AND HER MA JESYY'S VISIT TO BREADALBANE. — An interesting pa rallel to the deer-hunting and oth , r amusements in honour of the visit of her Majesty and her illustrious Consort to the Highlands is afforded in a similar excursion by the unfortu nate Queen Mary. These " royal huntings" were con ducted on a scale of rude grandeur, and those who engaged in them were exposed to such rough mishaps and danger as would deter the timid from encountering them. The gentle Mary, however, was not of so timid a spirit, but took an ac tive part in the fray which perilled the lives of the most dex terous and intrepid, as will be seen from the following curious account of the visit of this sovereign to the highlands of Perthshire, and the grand hunting in which she took part, given by an eye witness—Barclay. (Monarchornacus);—" In the year 1563 the Earl of Athol, a prince of the blpod royal, had, with much trouble and vast expense, a hunting-match for the entertainment of our most illustrious and most gracious Queen. Our people call this A Royal Hunting.' I was then a young man, and was present on the occasion. 2,000 Highlanders, or wild Scots, as you call them here, were employed to drive to the hunting-ground all the deer from the woods and hills of Athol, Badenoch, Mar, Moray, and the counties about. As these Highlanders use a light dress and are very swift of foot, they went up and down so nimbly, that in less than two months' time they brought together 2,000 red deer, besides roes and fallow deer. The Queen, the great men, and others were in a glen when all the deer were brought before them. Believe me, the whole body of them moved forward in something like battle order. This sight still strikes me, and ever will, for they had a leader whom they followed close wherever he moved. This leader was a very fine stag with a very high head. The sight de lighted the Queen very much, but she soon had occasion for fear, upon the Earl, who had been accustomed to such sights, addressing her thus :—` Do you observe that stag who is foremost of the herd ? There is danger from that stag ; f or if either fear or rage should force him from the ridge of that hill, let every one look to himself, for none of us will be out of the way of harm ; for the rest will follow this one, and, having thrown us under foot, they will open a passage to this hill behind us.' What happened a moment after confirmed this opinion ; for the Queen ordered one of the best dogs to be let loose on one of the deer; this the dog pursues—the leading stag is frighted, he flies by the same way he had come there, the rest rush after him, and break out where the thickest body of the Highlanders was. They had nothing for it but to throw themselves flat on the heath, and allow the deer to pass over them. It was told the Queen that se veral of the Highlanders had been wounded, and that two or three had been killed outright, and the whole body had got off, had not the Highlanders, by their skill in hunting, fallen upon a stratagem to cut off the rear from the main body. It was of those that had been separated that the Queen's dogs and those of the nobility made slaughter. There were killed that day 360 deer, with five wolves and some roes." fIORRIBLE CASE OF MURDER IN DUNDtE, (From the Edinburgh Courant of Saturdalt9 We learned last night the following particulars relating t( a case of murder perpetrated in Dundee on Thureday night which, for cold-blooded atrocity, has had few parallels in thi part of the country. On Thursday morning two men, wh , gave their names as Mackenzie and Duff, and who appease' to be substantial north-country graZiers on their way horn' from the Falkirk Tryst, called at Mr. Croall's coach•office. Prince's-street, here, and inquired into various particular: regarding the starting of the Dundee coach, which leave , here at ten o'clock. As they had business to transact in one of the banks, which does not open till ten o'clock, they re quested that the coach might be delayed a few minutes. which was promised. About five minutes after ten Duff. who was a short stout man, returned by himself, and asked whether the coach could not be delayed a little longer till his friend Mackenzie finished their mutual business at the bank. This could not be acceded to, and the coach set off without either of them. Mackenzie, who is taller than his compa nion, and remarkable from one or two projecting front teeth. joined his friend at the coach-office soon after the coach had gone, and both took an omnibus and joined the steamer just as she was about to leave Newhaven. It would hence appear that Mackenzie had received Duff's money at the bank, and had it in his possession. There were two steamers starting across the water at the same time, and it is remarkable that Mackenzie took the wrong one; but as they both reached Pettycur at the same time, the mistake was of no moment farther than as it gave rise to much excitement on the part of Duff, who expressed great anxiety lest he should lose sight of his friend and his money. Both parties then took their seats on the outside of the Dundee coach, near the guard, and proceeded in this way to Cupar, without hay iug much intercourse with each other; Mackenzie employ ing himself during the greater part of the way in a low chant or muttering, of which, however, nothing could be made. At Cupar a change of position took place. Both parties came down from the coach ; and on remounting, Mackenzie took his seat near the driver, while Duff kept his old place beside the guard, and continued so to Newport. On crossing tlce Tay Ferry, Mackenzie's manner was observed to be somewhat agitated, so much so, that person who knew him remarked to another, that that was Mr. Mackenzie, an ex tensive cattle dealer, but he seemed to have got a slap over the fingers—thus referring the strangeness of his manner to some supposed loss he had sustained. The coach arrived at Dundee about four o'clock ; and our information regarding them from that time is not so precise. What is certain is, that in the evening two men, answering in all respects to these persons, and of whose identity with them our informant had no doubt, were walking out of Dundee ' • and when beyond the Law, the short man was shot from behind with a pistol, and, it is supposed, left for dead on the road. The poor man, however, recovered a little ; and was able, we have been told, to crawl to some house in the neighbourhood, or other wise obtained assistance, and had sufficient strength left to tell the whole story, and to fix upon his companion as his murderer, charging him at the same time with having £l,OOO of his property in his possession. Information was immedi ately sent to the Police-office at Dundee; and a search being set on foot, the other was apprehended at eight o'clock yes terday morning in one of the carriages in the first train of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway. The rumour in Dundee, when our informant left, was to the effect that the two parties had dined together in Dundee; and that Duff asked his companion for his property; that he evaded the request, under the pretence that that was not a proper place for settling their accounts, but proposed that they should both proceed to a friend of his a few miles out in the country, where they would get a bed for the night, and might settle their affairs quietly. To this, in an evil hour, the unhappy man consented. It is said that the tall man bought a pistol from a young man in a respectable ironmonger's shop in Dundee. It is remarkable that Thursday was the fast day in that town, so that he would have some difficulty in finding a shop open. It is also said, that when he was apprehended, a large sum of money was found upon him. This shocking case had excited, as well it might, a great sensation in Dun dee, both from the respectable sphere in which both parties had previously been moving, and from the deliberate villany with which the murder must have been committed. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Duff still remains in a precarious state. Mackenzie re turned to Dundee about nine o'clock and remained all night; and on the following morning took a ticket for the first train of the Dundee and Arbroath railway, in which he took his seat. Duff was able to describe his assassin, and a police officer found his man just as the train was on the point of starting. The officer told him he was wanted up in the town ; but Mackenzie said he could not lose the train ; and altogether showed so much reluctance to leave, that he was almost dragged out of the carriage. He was of course, im mediately apprehended, and still remains in custody. When taken, he was found to have £2,773 in his possession, of which £l,OOO, as we before stated, belonged to Duff. We have heard that he positively denies all knowledge of, or connexion with, the attempt at assassination ; but we do not know how he attempts to explain at what part of their journey he left Duff. THE INCOME-TAX. NEW INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE MODE OF CLAIMING EXEMPTION. In consequence of the great number of doubts and difficul ties that have presented themselves as to the proper inter pretation and meaning of the clauses of exemption in this act, the following additional instructions have been drawn up by her :Majesty's Commissioners, and will be delivered to the assessors of every district. The following is an official copy : " 1. Every person claiming to be entitled to exemption must, within the time limited for delivering in the lists (or within such further time as the commissioners for general purposes in the district shall allow), deliver to the assessor a notice of his claim for exemption, together with a declara tion setting forth therein all the particular sources whence the income of such claimant shall arise, with the amount from each source, and also every sum of annual interest, or other annual payment reserved or charged thereon, whereby the income may be diminished, and also every sum charged against every other person on account of the duty, or which he may have deducted or retained under the authority of the act out of any payment to which he may be or become liable. " 2. Every person chargeable by assessment, or by de duction from any rent, annuity or other annual payment, who shall prove that the annual amount of his income is less than £l5O, is entitled to exemption from duties, and to re ch o p a t. y s m u e c n h t d o u f t a i el re all d a e s d uliceti mayo ns (, b n e a e c n e o t i u t u l e t d t h t e o r eof, charge ex c e a p g t a s i n o s m t a u other persons, or to deduct out of any payment to which he Xtols£o2;o,bitht then tenant sg would be v ir a l a l t y l e b , be n li d a b r l e e c . e vTesh thatus i s f u a m p i e n r sr rent, n n t w a n o land his n dof tenant n a t f t l i s s O u annal assessed h o i at t.: isaotwisisiticlnoainn income ax h x i l s 3o b ou e . t h oo a , t ,tahte whichtsiu h ms i u s c oh o iu m sn e tin i m assessed on his behalf. The same may be said of any other deduction allowed by the act. But if such person has paid out of his rent £2O for repairs, which is not allowed as a de duction under the act, his income still remains £l5O. So if a person pays an annuity, interest of money, or other annual payment out of his rent, then is his income reduced by that sum. if he pays annual interest to the amount of £2O, his income is £130; and if he pays the land-tax of £2O, then his income would be £llO. But his income will not be reduced by the payment of any sum from which he is nut entitled to deduct the duty. " 3. The annual value of lands or tenements is to be esti mated according to the rules contained in schedules A and B. The income arisinc , from ownership is to be un d ers t oo d to be the rent at which the same are let at rack-rent, if fixed by agreement within seven years preceding the year of as sessment ; but if not let at rack-rent, then at the rack-rent at which the same are worth to be let by the year, subject to the deductions to be authorized by the act. " 4. Every person separately assessed, or having a separ ate interest in the profits assessed, may claim an exemption. " 5. So copartners, joint trustees, or tenants in common of the profits of any property whatever, having declared their respective shares, in order to a separate assessment. " 6. So joint-tenants, or tenants of land in partnership, being in the actual and joint occupation thereof, and entitled to the profits in shares, and personally labouring therein, or managing the same. " 7. So partners carrying on trade, or exercising any pro fession together, and entitled to the profits thereon in shares, and personally acting therein, in such cases of separate as sessments only. " 8. So a guardian, trustee, or agent on account of others, may claim on behalf of such others, either where satisfac tory proof is given that such others cannot attend in person, or in cases where they may be assessed for others, as acting in the character of guardian, &c., to the person under in capacity. "9. Every claim is to be made to the commissioners of the district where the claimant shall reside, except where the whole of his income shall arise from any employment, the duties whereon are cognizable by the commissioners of a department of office, or from a pension, in which case he may claim to the commissioners of the department. " 10. Every person entitled to claim exemption must sign the notice to that effect contained in the forms left him by the assessor. If the income of the claimant should arise from any other source tban those described in the forms left him, he should signify the same to the assessor, signifying from what sources his income is derived. " 11. Schedule for exemption (particulars of income from whatever source derived.) " 12. In all cases claims for exemption are to be examined by the surveyor of the district, and if he shall not object thereto within forty days after the same have been trans mitted to the commissioners, or within such further time as they, on just cause, shall allow him to make such objection, the commissoners are authorised to allow such objections. " 13. If the surveyor is satisfied that a party is wholly ex empt he will sign a certificate to that effect, and lay the claim before the commissioners at their next meeting, upon which the commissioners will discharge the assessment, and if it shall appear that any property is assessed in any other dis trict the commissioners will certify to the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes, at the head office, Ow allowance of the exemption, upon which the last - mentioned commissioners will direct the assessment in such other district to be dis charged. " 14. In esse the surveyor shall see cause to object to any claim for exemption, he is to certify such objection and the grounds thereof to the commissioners of the district, when the merits of the claims are to be heard and determined upon appeal by the party before them, under and subject to the rules, regulations, and penalties under the act. " 15. Upon proof that any person whose claim for ex emption has been allowed has been charged to, and has paid, the duties by way of deduction from any rent, annuity, or other annual payment from which a deduction is authorized to be made, or that such person has been assessed and has paid the duty in respect of any annuity, &c., payable out of the public revenue, the commissioners will certify - what shall have been so proved to the c ommissioners, at the head office for Stamps and Taxes; whereupon the last-mentioned com missioners will issue the necessary order for repayment. " The order for repayment will be directed to the officer for receipt. or the collector of the duties, or to a distributor or sub-distributor of stamps of the district or parish in which the claimant shall reside • and a notification thereof will at the same time be forwarded to the party from the head office, in order that he may know when and where to apply for such repayment." The States of Hanover have granted eleven millions of Prussian crowns (£1,600,000) for a general railway system of GO German miles. TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLlN.—Unless the electors p a y up all arrears, or take advantage of the new law on the sub ject, before the first of December, they will lose the fran chise for life. Within the last few days there have been some tolerably large shipments of superior horses from the port of Hull, for Germany—twenty-nine in the Transit and ten in the Rob Roy steamers.

The genius and eccentricity of character which distinguished this remarkable person have rarely been urpassed. Deprived at an early age of his limbs, he con :armed, by dint of ingenuity, not only to pass his time agreeably, but to render himself a useful member of society. He soon displayed a taste for mechanical pursuits, and con trived, as a workshop for his operations, a sort of circular bed, the sides of which being raised about 18 inches above the clothes, were employed as a platform for turning-lathes, tables, vices, and for tools of all kinds. His genius for prac tical mechanics was universal. He was skilled in all sorts of turning, and constructed several very curious lathes, as well. as clocks and musical instruments of every description, na less admired for the sweetness of their tone than the excellence and elegance of their execution. He excelled, too, in the construction of optical instruments, and made some reflecting telescopes, the specula of which were not inferior to those finished by the most eminent London artists. He sug gested some important improvements in the machinery for spinning flax, and we believe he was the first who made the wooden-joined snuff-boxes, generally called Laurence kirk boxes, some of which, fabricated by this self-taught artist, were purchased and sent as presents to the Royal Family ; one, in particular, had to be returned from Brighton for the purpose of 'being opened. To his other endowments he added an accurate knowledge of drawing and engraving, and in both of these arts produced specimens of the highest excellence. In upwards of 50 years he quitted his bed only three times, and on these occasions his house was either in undated with water, or threatened with danger from fire. His curiosity, which was unbounded, prompted him to hatch different kinds of bird's eggs by the natural warmth of his body, and he afterwards raised the motley brood with all the tenderness of a parent; so that, on visiting him, it was no uncommon thing to see various singing birds perched on his head, and warbling the artificial notes he had taught therm. Naturally possessed of a good constitution and an active mind, his house was the general coffee-room of the village, where the affairs of both church and state were discussed with the utmost freedom. In consequence of long confine ment his countenance had rather a sickly cast, but it was re markably expressive, and would have afforded a fine subject for the pen of Lavater or the pencil of Wilkie, particularly when he was surrounded by his country friends. This sin gular man had acquired, by his ingenuity and industry, an honourable independence, and died possessed of considerable property. He married about three weeks before his death. From the brief history of James Sandy we may learn this in structive lesson,—that no difficulties are too great to be overcome by industry and perseverance, and that genius. though it should sometimes miss the distinction it deserves, will seldom fail, unless by its own fault, to secure competence and respectability.—Perth Advertiser.

There was a good chew of stock to-day, but the quality of the Beasts was again only middling. Buyers in consequence were aupplied on loi - er terms, and at the close of the market much was unsold. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 18. The demand for Cotton to-day is exceedingly limited ; the sales will not exceed 1,000 bales. Prices the same as last week, certainly not lower. COTTON MARKET, OCTTBER 20. The sales in Cotton continue to average daily from 2500 to 3 00 bales, at prices much on a par with those of last week, and though the market wears a flat appearance, it is nevertheless steady, and holders are not anxious to press their stocks. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. OcToBER.I9. During the present week the Corn trade has continued in the same dull state so frequently reported of late. Only trifling sales could be effected in any article, though nearly all descriptions of grain offered at some reduction. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, OCTOBER 20, 1842. . The arrivals either from the Isle of . Man or Coastwise. still con tinue light, yet the demand being slack, both from country and town retail trade, we cannot quote any improvement over our last quotations, viz. .s 2d to .s 3d per wilbs. We have had only a limited supply of any description of agricul tural produce brought into our local markets for the last three days, but the quantity brought forward has been fully equal to the demand. _ ..............

The arrivals during the last week of Grail; from the English counties were tolerably good, particularly of Barley and Malt, but of Wheat the supply was only moderate. Of Foreign Grain of any Sort we continue to receive but scanty supplies, the few cargoes 'that arrive going into bond, and, as such, not affecting the currency for home consumption. The trade throughout the week may be said to have ruled steady, particularly for Wheats, such Grain meeting a fair demand at prices fully equal to those of the preceding Monday. while for Barley of secondary quality the previous rates were not supported by about is per qr. To this morning's market the supply fresh up was short of Wheat, both Essex and Kent, but of Barley the arrival was rather abundant. Wheats have a languid demand at the prices of this day week, and in some instances prices have given way Is to 2s per qr, bat Barley, except superfine des- criptions, must he quoted full is cheaper. New Irish Oats, of good quality, are held firmly, but inferior descriptions of old are difficult of sale. Beans and Peas realise the priees of this day week, the former meeting perhaps, rather a better demand. In Flour there is no alteration, the top prices of town-made continuing at 4, s per sack. In seeds or other articles there is a steady but limited trade passing at the prices of this day week. . . . Corn Market, Wednesday, The trade is extremely dull this morning, and the business Con fined to a few sales in the retail trade. There is, however, nomi nally no further decline in the prices, and the English Wheat is not in any excessive supply. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 17. The number of Continental Bullocks at Smithfield was between fio and 70, the disparity between which and the official return arises from those which were unsold on Friday last being brought forward to-day. The fresh arrivals were of a very slightly inferior quality from those of last market day, and consequently fetched lower prices than on former occasions. The best of them did not com mand more than about .el 6 each, and many were not worth near so much, being old and in poor condition. It is not unlikely that the latter sort will find their way into the provincial markets. The supply of home-bred Beasts was again large, considerably beyond the demand which although snrnewhat better than on Monday was very limited. The trade for Beef ruled dull: the quality was generally a secondary description, and only for som's peculiar Beasts was 4s 4d the stone, and 3s 4d to 3s 8d for other kinds of English. Foreign on an average be quoted zs led. Of Sheep the supply was rather large, and far more adequate to the demand, which was more restricted than on last Monday. The quality of Mutton was, as in Beef, of a more inferior description than usually is the case on a Monday. The prices quoted were with difficulty maintained. There was a large number of Beasts and Sheep turned out unsold, but more in proportion of the latter. In Veal and Pork an almost equally dull state of trade prevailed. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE OCTOBER 18. The arrivals into this port, up to Friday's market and sub sequently, contain a liberal accession of English, Irish, and foreign Wheat combined, with a fair supply of barley, malt, and oats, coastwise and from Ireland ; including, compared with previous weeks of late, a tolerable quantity of Flour from the latter source, but only 2634 barrels of States and Cana dian, as specified below. Controlled by the general depression of trade in this dis trict, the languid accounts from most of the leading Corn markets of the kingdom, and more especially the abundance and extremely low rates at which Oatmeal and Potatoes are freely offered, and to which the labouring classes, the great consumers of cheap food, have recourse at present, any extensive operations in Wheat at our Corn Exchange to day have been impracticable ; induced, however, by holders of this grain acceding generally to a decline of 2d. to 3d. per Ms. from the terms of this day week, the millers purchased to a moderate amount, but merely for immediate purposes. Occasional, but by no means extensive, sales of Flour were effected, at a slight abatement in the value of all descrip tions of English, Irish, and Foreign, except choice brands of Canadian, which retained our last quotations. Barley, continuing in slow request, was the turn cheaper; and Malt, attended with a dull sale, declined ls. per qr. Beans and Pease remained nominally as described on Friday. LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES.
