The next morning, 27th August, was rainy, and the hills were all covered with clouds ; we breakfasted at four, on broiled capercailzie, and brandy and water, but were weather bonnd a t Rorvigon till three o'clock, ate when we embarked in two small and crazy boats on Lake Limingen. There was far more motion than I liked, the nature of our vessels being duly considered. We were, however, safely landed on some rocks, after a row of ten English miles, and then set off to walk four more, partly through woods• In our route we passed by a scetter hut, where, as I have before remarked, the peasants who pasture their cows in the neighbourhood keep their milk, cream, and cheeses• We next crossed some barren mountains; and, at about half -past seven our guide (the Lapp) desired us not to tire at a pack of ptarmigan, which got close up to us, for fear, he said, of disturbing the reindeer, as he every moment expected to find his country men. Soon after, as we were all walking in a single file, and keeping perfect silence, he stopped suddenly, and, pointing with his finger, directed our attention to some smoke just emu issuing through the twilight, curling up the side of the opposite hill. The man's manner and attitude were quite dra matic, an d w e had the satisfaction of feeling that our object was about to be attained. The Lapp now tied up his dog and ran off, ev idently much rejoiced at the idea of rejoining his wife an d family, after an absence of several months. He was also anxious to inform his countrymen who we were, and what. brought ns here, as he had some fear lest they would take alarm, and move off with their herd. He soon, how ever, returned, and at the same time we saw a large number of reindeer driven up the valley to their quarters for the night, by a man and a boy, accompanied by a dog, whose oc. casiong b ar k seemed to keep them under perfect control. Upon our arr ival we found the encampment consisted of two circular tents built of poles joined together in the centre, in farm of a cone, with cloths stretched over them• The door of the larger one, in which we took up our abode, was so low andsmall, that we had some difficulty in crawling in. The , whole scene was highly picturesque• Each tent was occupied u y a Lalip family ; every individual gave us a most kind re eention, and heartily thaking us by the hand, at once offered ns a share o f their tent, the only night's lodging they had to five- We thankfully accepted their hospitality, and soon "lea ourselves lying on skins before a large and cheerful fire. The i n h a bitants of the hut coroprised three generations of IT; namely, a middle-aged man and his wife, with four chil re n , a nd an old grandmother ; to these were now added our party, consisting of four Englishmen, their two inter preters, an d two other attendants. The tent was made of crse dark cloth, and the outside of it was covered with turf;ur aroun d tog inside were hung cheeses, bladders, dried gut of re i n deer, guns, and various other useful articles. The chief part of the smoke escaped through a large opening at the top , but enough remained painfully to affect our eyes, and to give the copper countenances of the Lapps a shade as dark as those of Indian. The second family, who occupied the smaller tent, namely, our Lapp guide —Peter Johansen, his wife. and two children —soon came to pay us a visit. have already described his person• His wife and daughter had light hair and fair complexions, and were pleasing in their appearance, and his little boy resting child ; was an intelligent and inte and, although under ten years of age, took his tarn w ith the men inswatcing the reindeer during the night. He was dressed in hi best clothes, entirely made of skins, with a girdle round his waist, and such a protuberance in front as to give him the appearance of being stuffed, and greatly to excite our laughter. He wore his knife in his case behind, and several small ornaments by his side ; thus form ing a complete Lilliputian Lapp in full costume. We were soon p re sented with a large bowl of reindeer milk, which is much richer than that of the cow, and has a delicate and aromatic flavour, with a pleasant taste, resenabling the milk of the cocoa nut ; but I found I could not taste much of it with impunity, as it was more like drinking cream than milk. They also boiled for us a reindeer ham which had only been salted two days before. We found tso good that, upon taking our departure next morning, we were glad to add it to our scanty store of provisions. It has a wild flavour, and is quite equal to our park venison. The old grandmother was al shrivelled as a mummy' but the other two women were by no means ill -looking. Their dress was of dark t w h o e ollen cloth, with silver ornaments in front, as well as in girdle round the waist, tow hich sewing implements were su n spended. These ornaments were in good taste, and well fl ished ; and the buttons were similar to those used by the p w e e a s san u t t ry in Spain. I have no doubt this smart costume The on in compliment to us. dress trouserso of the men consisted of leather coats and tight the femalesthe same material, with reindeer skin boots.

Some boxes of lucifer matches which we presented to them were also a h n ig d h e ly x p r rized d ; they had evidently never seen them before, ease no small astonishment at them anner in which ignition is effected. We regretted we no fish hooks, i h they inquired for ; but we gave them a glass of tinkel each, which the octogenarian appeared to relish more than tatl e y i. of her descendants. The head of the family (Johan is4son) was a grave sedate -looking man ; decon of cha .i me t er r and intelligence were marked on his fine countenance. ter,s e i t , s e ly todtthhee questions I put to him through my interpre dering psatoralyl7rfeer-e thathappy in the enjoyment of their wan they confined themselves to the m ountainons ridge which separates Norway from Sweden, the boundary line between these countries being only .two English miles from the spot where they were then encamped ; that they had been there about eight days, intended to re main a fortnight longer, and should then move onwards for a change of pasture for their reindeer. He told me, that in summer they conduct these anim the, which constitute their wealth, to the elevated parts of t a h the level countrmourins, and in the winter they descend to of about three hundred, and it appears y ihat aisfherd consisted nearly that number for its support.

These Lapps, although " dwellers in tents" all the year round, are in many respects far from being uncivi lised. They strictly observe the Sabbath, the best reader of the family officiating as priest, and going regularly through the Lutheran service. Occasionally they attend the church of the nearest village on the frontier of Sweden.—Milford's Visit to Norway. -,-------""..- VARIETIES. -.---- To MAKE GINGER.

IN RSTGLISTI POTITIM 7r English j " GREAT REPEAL DEMO from the time of Dryden to Pope, has been French as habits and tastes ; the country was deserted for the town ; rural recreations for the conversation of saloons and taverns ; and poetry partook in the general feeling. There were no landscape painters at that time, no landscape gar deners (Sir W. Temple was an excellent kitchen gardener, and Evelyn was not beyond the taste of his age,) no planters. and no love for a residence in the country. The first planters were old Lord Bathurst, at Cirencester, and the Duke of Argyle at Whitton, near Hounslow. In Thomson's time a better and more English taste was rising ; and while he was writing the Seasons, Shenstone was laying out the Leasowes, and Lady Lyttleton was forming the beautiful grounds of Hagley. The arts rose together, and poetry was affected, as it always will be, by the general tastes and social state of the There is no pretension to novelty in our remark, s meant simply to show that the poets were not more .nsensible to the beauties of nature than those who practised the other arts that embellish life ; that the general tone of society was with them, and that the same artificial taste was everywhere visible. The poetical couplet of Dryden had superseded the blank verse of Milton ; the peruke and cra vat, the laced coat, the flowing and chivalrous dress of the days of Henry and Elizabeth ; while the straight lines and avenues, and quincunxes in parks and gardens, had super seded the wilder and irregular forms of natural beauty.— Gentleman's Magazine. A. SKETCH OF THE AMERICAN SENATE.—At the begin ing of the year, Lord Morpeth being present in the house of representatives during a commotion raised against Ex-Pres ident Quincy Adams, for having said something against sla very, that venerable and distinguished old man was, in his own hearing, horribly insulted, and called a black liar and a traitor. His most eloquent denouncer was a Mr. Wise, who interlarded his furious tirade with insults to England. " Lord l‘lorpeth," says the correspondent of the New York American," occupied the chair of one the members, and was apparently the person to whom Wise directed all his s waggering, bullying abuse of the British nation and govern ment. Whenever he said anything abusive, he always turn. ed to the viscount, and pointed significantly at him, appar ently delighted to insult a stranger and a lord, without the possibility of a reply." And the only reception given to all this was tumultuous applause. In the senate at the close of February, Mr. Tallmadge was interrupted by Mr. Benton calling him a liar. Mr. Talmudge reiterated his statements and Mr. Benton repeated the lie. The following then pas sed :—" Mr. Clay hoped the senator would be compelled to take his seat.—Mr. Benton : The senator is in his seat. — Mr. Clay : The senator has no right to speak, while he is in his seat ; and if he speaks to me, he shall receive such language in reply as his conduct deserves.—Mr. Benton : I hope that language will be followed by corresponding action." No one took the least notice of thiss gross insult to by far the ablest and most accomplished of all the American states men.—Article, Newspaper Literature of America : Foreign Quarterly Review. THE REV. R. W. SIBTHORP IN EARLY LlFE.—There were many circumstances which contributed to his fame. He was a member of an old family ; a man of acknowiedged ability ; and of unsparing devotedness to his profession. His voice was singularly musical ; and the powers of imagination as well as the results of learning, which he brought to bear on his pulpit ministrations, were very captivating. But amid the impressive exhortation and affectionate earnestness which pervaded his addresses, there was also a tone of mys ticism. There was in all his sermons a leaven—so to speak, and the term is used I trust not irreverently—of what bor dered on the romantic and speculative in religion. To ac count for this, his admirers used to advert to the unusual tenor of his own career. In early life he was enticed from his home by a Romish priest, with whom he resided many months ; and during which period his friends lost all clue to him. The object was to convert him to Romanism. And from its trammels he then had a narrow escape. Another incident befel him in later life—an attachment formed for him by an accomplished lady holding the Romish faith, and which had again nearly brought him within the pale of Ro manism. Connected with this there is a curious incident. A highly finished miniature of him was placed at the exhi tion at Somerset House. It was an admirable likeness, and was readily recognised. Three weeks elapsed and it was gone ! The thief was never discovered : and considerable promptitude as well as management must have been brought into play to carry it off unobserved—but it was effeeted. Some ladies had been seen, for several successive mornings, hovering around the spot where it hung—hut further clue there was none. All these various details threw an air of interest, romance, and mystery around this extraordinary man's history.—The Bishop's Daughter. Tue Jews OF LlSBON. — Gathered in small clusters about the pillars at the lower extremities of the gold and silver streets in Lisbon, may be observed, about noon in every day, certain strange-looking men, whose appearance is neither Portuguese nor European. Their dress generally consists of a red cap, with a blue silken tassel at the top of it, a blue tunic girded at the waist with a red sash, and wide linen pan taloons, or trousers. He who passes by these groups gene rally bears them conversing in broken Spanish or Portuguese, and occasionally in a harsh guttural language, which the Oriental traveller knows to be the Arabic, or a dialect thereof. These people are the Jews of Lisbon. Into the midst of one of these groups, I one day introduced myself, and pronounced a beraka, or blessing. I have lived in dif ferent parts of the world, much among the Hebrew race, and am well acquainted with their ways and phraseology. I was rather anxious to become acquainted with the state of the Portuguese Jews, and I had now an opportunity. "The man is a powerful rabbi," said a voice in Arabic : " it be hoves us to treat him kindly." They welcomed me. I fa voured their mistake, and in a few days I knew all that re lated to them and their traffic in Lisbon. I found them a vile, infamous rabble, about two hundred in number. With a few exceptions, they consist of escapadoes, from the Bar bary shore, from Tetuan, from Tangier, but principally from Mogadore ; fellows who have fled to a foreign land from the punishment due to their misdeeds. Their manner of life in Lisbon is worthy of such a good assemblage of amis reunis. The generality of them pretend to work in gold and silver, and keep small peddling shops : they, however, principally depend for their livelihood on an extensive traffic in stolen goods which they carry on.—Borrow's The Bible in Spain. POWER OF THE VOICE OVER CHILDREN.—It is usual to attempt the management of children either by corporal punishment, or by rewards addressed to the senses, or by words alone. There is one other means of government, the power and importance of which are seldom regarded ; I refer to the human voice. A blow may be inflicted on a child, ac companied by words so utttered as to counteract entirely its intended effect; or the parent may use language, in the cor rection of the child, not objectionable in itself, yet spoken in a tone which more than defeats its influence. Let any one endeavour to recall the image of a fond mother long since at rest in heaven. Her sweet smile and ever clear countenance are brought vividly to recollection ; and so also is her voice ; and blessed is that parent who is endowed with a pleasing utterance. What is it which lulls an infant to repose ? It is no array of mere words. There is no charm to the untaught one in letters, syllables, and sentences. It is the sound which strikes its little ear that soothes and composes it to sleep. A few notes, however unskilfully arranged, if uttered in a soft tone, are found to possess a magic influence. Think we that this influence is confined to the cradle ? No, it is diffused over every age, and ceases not while the child remains under the parental roof. Is the boy growing rude in manlier and boisterous in speech ? I know of no instrument so sure to control these tendencies as the gentle tones of a mother. She who speaks to her son harshly does but give to his conduct the sanction of her own example. She pours oil on the already raging flame. In the pressure of duty, we are liable to utter ourselves hastily to our children. Perhaps a threat is expressed in a loud and irritating tone ; instead of allaying the passions of the child it serves directly to increase them. Every 'fretful expression awakens in him the same spirit which produced it. So does a pleasant voice call up agreeable feelings. Whatever disposition, therefore, we would encourage in a child, the same we should manifest in in the tone in which we address him.—Church of England Magazine. PLEASURES OF AN INDIAN VOYAGE.—I began by paying £l5O sterling for a cabin to myself ; and had not inhabited it two days before I found it so infested with cockroaches, that I was bound to evacuate it • and should have been houseless, if Sevestre had not ki n dly made me bring my cot, and occupy half of his ; turning my own into a baggage ca bin. If we had been all Whittingtons, and each possessed half a dozen cats, it would not have sufficed to deliver us from the rude assaults of the innumerable host of rats that invaded us. I had occasion to remove a trunk which stood in one corner of the cabin, when, to my astonishment, I dis covered a small snake coiled up • and, as if not sufficiently hideous as a snake de facto, I further discovered that the creature had two heads. I called out loudly for a stick and assistance, intending to commit a bloody deed upon the in truder. The cuddy servants, who had heard my vocifera tions, came rushing on to the fray ; but no sooner did they see the nature of the foe, than they both jumped upon the boxes, exclaiming " Kill, him, sir ; kill him ! Don't let him come here! Just at this point the third mate came up, crying out, " Don't hurt him, air ! Pray don't hurt him !" and immediately laid hold of what turned out to be a pet of his. Although I had never seen one before, I had frequently heard of " the double-beaded sand-snake." This was one of the very singular species, and assuredly, as far as human eyesight can be credited, it has a clear and perfect head at both ends ; the species, however, are entirely harmless, and the one in question, it appeared, had made its escape from a little box, in which the mate had kept it since leaving Madras. As for pets they literally abound with us : there is a pet cheetah, or leopard, big enough to swallow a sheep ; then innumerable mongooses, whose little red noses are ever and anon thrusting out from among the booms and spars on the deck ; hundreds, I may say, of that beautiful little ele gant species of the feathered tribe, the avadavat, which I cannot better describe than by saying that it is a black wren, speckled with crimson spots ; chattering paroquets are heard in every direction ; and, though last, certainly not least wor thy in the list, a mina. This race of birds is, without ex ception, the most remarkable in the world for its talkative powers and its ability to imitate all kinds of human sounds; the one in question, however, really surpasses all I ever heard in this way, and the whole live-long day talks, sings, and whistles, in addition to which it gives all sorts of mock eries of men, beasts, and birds.—Diary of an Assistant Surgeon. THE LATE STEAM-SHIP PRESIDENT: CONSIDERATioNs AS TO THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF HEN. WRECK.-Mr. Buck ingham, who made a passage in this ill-fated ship from New York to Liverpool, thus endeavours, in his new work on Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, &c., to account for her subsequent loss :—" On the following voyage, the un fortunate President was lost ; having sailed from New York in her ordinary course, and never since been heard of. A variety of conjectures have been hazarded, as to the manner in which her loss was oceasioned ; and at this late period, when the subject may be adverted to without harrowing up the feelings of those who had friends on board, or prolonging their painful suspense, for all hopes of her re-appearing have now been long ago extingushed, it may not be unacceptable to have the opinion of one who knew her qualities well. I venture, therefore, to offer it as my belief, that under the skilful commander who was then in charge, Captain Roberts, no gale which she could encounter on her passage would be sufficient to occasion her to founder. Insufficient as her engines were to propel her with the requisite degree of speed, they would always have force enough to keep her head to windward in the heaviest gale that blew; and i❑ this posi tion, no pilot-boat that ever swam could lie-to more easily and steadily than the President. As a seaboat, she was un rivalled ; and not the slightest manifestation was anywhere visible on our homeward voyage, in the severest period of the gale, of any weakness amid-ships, or anywhere else. An iceberg may have intercepted her course, or a ship may have run her down, as all who have been much at sea know how frequent are the accidents resulting from a bad look-out ; and fire is a calamity to which all ships are liable, especially those that carry a hundred passengers or more, where drunken revels among some,* not sutticiently discouraged, because profit is made by the sale of the wines and spirits, great care lessness with others, lights permitted improperly to be burn ing in the bed-cabins at a late hour, and their inmates going to sleep without extinguishing them, with the inflammability of all the materials of which a ship is composed, making fire much more rapidly destructive at sea tha❑ on la❑d, and much more difficult to extinguish. One or other of these calamities might have destroyed the unfortunate President; and either would account for the total destruction of every vestige of her bull, as well as of her spars, boats, and moveable furni ture, but especially the last, for the devouring flames leave no vestige of anything unconsumed; and when all is burnt to the water's edge, the heavy and ponderous mass below soon sinks to the bottom. This, though the most terrible, is the most speedy death, and leaves at least the consolation, that if the sufferings of the victims were severe, they were soon terminated." *## We were obliged to have two passengers carried drunk from the dinner-table to their berths, on the Arst day after we left New York in the President; and every day some of them drank to excess." 'STRATTON TN SLIGO." SLIGO, FRIDAY EVLNING, MAC s.—lt will give you in finite satisfaction to hear, as it does me to know, that our • Repeal meeting was a total failure. lam assured by the best judges, that there was not at any period four thousand persons present, notwithstanding that the reverend whippers in had ordered the attendance of all their flocks, each man to be armed with at least a shilling ; and the great proportion of these were the little urchins of the town that got a holiday from the national and cabin schimis, to hark in a cheer for the Liberator. There was not a gentleman present. There were a few of the traders of the town, respectable in their rank, no doubt, but who, it was a great pity to find, had not sense enough to remember what they were, and that it was under British connection, and in British markets, they had made sufficient money to buy the Sunday broad-cloth they had mounted on the occasion. The public dinner was, if possible, a greater failure than the meeting. At five o'clock there were not thirty tickets taken ; and Mrs, Davis, the providore, refused to " serve up," unless she was guaranteed in something like a remune ration. lam not able to inform you who are the securities, but they appear to be prudent persons, as they reduced the price from 12s. sd. to 7s. 6d.: this, perhaps, got off thirty more ; and the remainder, up to about one hundred, were supplied gratis to whoever (not excepting a waiter in a hotel, who was perhaps " expected to make himself generally use ful") was able to demonstrate that their throats were at all events as valuable to aid in a shout as in a feast ; for of all the cheers I ever heard, the Sligo cheering on this occasion was the very worst; I often heard more noise after a dog with an old kettle at his tail. The Liberator slept last night, and breakfasted this morn ing, at our mayor's, Mr. Martin Madden, and left immedi ately after for Dublin, and we wish you joy of him. The government, thanks to Mr. Lefroy's question across the table, ordered in a troop of the 12th Lancers, two com panies of the 47th regiment, and about one hundred additional constabulary. This probably saved us some trouble, as we would likely have otherwise been called on to illuminate, to which some of the old-fashioned inhabitants would have shown, in an old-fashioned way, that they had a decided ob jection. I am proud of Sligo. You may depend on it, it will be some time before Dan makes a demonstration here : he has not even the satisfaction of being able to say he met with the slightest opposition. There are enough of the boys about here to make a pickled herring of him ; but they kept within doors, and treated him with silent contempt. (From the Sligo Journal of Friday.) In this county, the demonstration which was " to fright the isle from its propriety," was a most ridiculous spectacle. About 3,000 peasants, forced by their priests to attend, two old broken down coaches, one of them hired by a bankrupt trader's shopboy, O'Connell's own carriage, and a few hack jaunting cars, accompanied by the flags and banners of the Trade's Union, formed the procession. To O'Connell the whole was a good joke, and he evidently enjoyed it, if we might judge from his extemporaneous witticisms. We hope Father Feeny recompensed him this morning as substantially as he expected. If he did not get money from him, he had only Father Coghlan's 1:12. 10s. to comfort him, as not a single man present at the meeting came forward to enrol himself a Repealer. [The Nation of Saturday says there were 170,000 persons present!] REPEAL MEETING AT THE CURRAGH The aggregate repeal meeting which was advertised to take place at the Curragh was held there yesterday (Sunday). The weather proved very favourable, and from an early hour large numbers of people were to be seen proceeding along the line of road on cars, from Dublin to the place of meet ing. All the roads leading to the Currah were thronged with equestrians and pedestrians long before the hour appointed. Mr. O'Connell arrived on the ground shortly after two o'clock. The hon. gentleman immediately proceeded to the Stand-house, from the front of which he proposed addressing the assemblage. There were on the ground about 120 of the constabulary, with three sub-inspectors, There were about two dozen tents erected for the sale of refreshments, and the proprietors of the different games played at race course and fairs were busily occupied in their avocations. At half past two o'clock the chair was taken by Gerald Aylmer, Esq. of Painestown, and Dr. Henry Lynch acted as secretary. The several resolutions passed at the meeting declared " the act of union to have been carried by fraud, bribery, and the unconstitutional employment of military force, wan tonly and wickedly called into requisition by the then go vernment, for the unjustifiable purpose of dispersing meet ings legally convened to petition parliament against passing the base and iniquitous measure of the union, which their forefathers foresaw would be ruinous to Ireland, and the cruel and unjust operations of which had already injured the best interests of their common country--that it was not their object to seek a separation from Great Britain—and that nine millions of people could not be dragged at the foot of any other nation." A vote of confidence was then passed by acclamation to Mr. O'Connell, expressing their hope that he would never cease his exertions until he restored to Ireland her domestic legislature; after which the learned gentleman rose to ad dress the meeting, in a speech which occupied nearly an hour and a half in its delivery. Some subscriptions were then received, and those upon the standhouse were provided inside with dinner. Mr. O'Con nell was, of course, the principal guest, and remained until about six o'clock, when he passed to Naas, where he re mained for the night.—Dublin paper. REPEAL OF THE UNION-MR. O'CONNELL TO DANIEL O ' CONNELL. ESQ., 3.7. P SIR,-111 consequence of your declining to come and take part in the discussion which I proposed to bring forward in the House of Commons relative to the agitation you are now carrying on, for the purpose, as you say, of effecting a repeal of the legislative union between England and Ireland, I take the liberty of writing to inform you, that, as you and your followers so completely set at nought the Catholic Emanci pation Act, by virtue of which you are entitled to sit in the British parliament, and so lightly esteem the privileges granted to you by that act, that I now feel justified in making a motion that the act be repealed; and as I am going to question the wisdom of that measure, I shall be glad if you will favour me with a line to say if you will come and do your part in defending a measure which you were so instrumental in causing to be carried. lam determined that the people of England and Ireland shall no longer labour under the delusion that the passing of that measure was, as they supposed, the settlement of a great question, but they shall know that it was exactly the reverse, that it was the unsettling of a great question, which had been in progreess of settlement from the first century of the Christian era till the revolution of MSS. You are now justifying your agitation by saying that England has done nothing for Ireland. If the three estates of the realm, forfeiting all claim to freedom by refusing to contend for that truth by contending for which they were alone en titled to the liberty they enjoyed—if you say that making such tremendous sacrifices to you and Ireland's clamour is doing nothing for Ireland, you must be a cormorant with a vengeance; it is truth that is ultimately to make men and nations free. Truth is in England not in Rome. You are by your restless proceedings bringing on a religious war be. tween England and Rome, and you appear to be perfectly sensible how much money and funds are the sinews of war ; but you have hitherto had the ingenuity to accumulate a great deal of sinew without coming to any actual war. Your peace able agitation is a sort of hermaphrodite war—a half and half state of things, which is half peace and half war ; but if you will come and hear what I have to say, I think I can show you why you ought to do one thing or the other; you cannot hide from me that religion is the main-spring of all that you are doing. My chief object in writing to you is to say, that I must make personal allusions to you and the head of your church ; and although you might say that I was per fectly at liberty to say what I :pleased about :you in your absence I had rather not do so. But surely the regenera tor of bold and chivalrous Ireland will not shrink from coming to defend his absent friend. Come, therefore, and be present in that house where your former valour entitles you to a seat. As it is my opinion, from the signs of the times in which we live, that we are on the eve of a new era in the history of England and Ireland, I shall take the liberty of making this letter public, that the Protestants of both countries may be prepared to stand by the assured truth, that Protestant ascendancy, and no surrender, is the law of CHRIST, and that England is the power which Goo has called into existence to maintain a religioUs principle ; and she will now do her duty. Then will the earth be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea, and a Papist will be a rara axis iu terris.—l have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, 3, St. James's-square, May 10 S. L. FOX DARING OUTRAGE.—On the night of Wednesday last, about ten o'clock, as Mr. M'Creight, of Umera, in this county, was sitting with his family in the room usually oc cupied by them, a villainous attempt was made on their lives, the ball of an assassin being deliberately discharged through the window, immediately opposite the fire round which they sat. The shutter, which was providentially of stouter and better material than those in ordinary use, prevented the entry of the ball, though it forced the panel from the frame. We are, however, happy to state that the act is not attributed to any combined system of outrage amongst the peasantry, to whom Mr. M'Creight has given a good deal of employment; and in no instance has any occurrence taken place to warrant a suspicion of any malice being entertained against him in that locality.—Cork Constitution. Tun DISTRESS IN PAISLEY.—After nearly two years of severe, nay almost of unexampled suffering, we now begin to enjoy a breathing time of comparative alleviation. The list has been reducing for the last three months, and on Saturday the 29th the whole number on the roll was 835 men, women, and children. About a fortnight since the committee took into consideration the propriety of closing their labours, and after examining into the state of those on the roll, and of the still very destitute circumstances in which numbers were placed, they unanimously agreed to continue the relief for another fortnight, and accordingly a final end to the laborious exertions of the committee took place on Saturday last. Although thus relieved from the very apps ' rent, the every-day appearance. of alistress, still severe and in many cases unmitigated suffering must be the lot of vast ' numbers of our townsmen. Thousands have parted with • everything necessary for their comfort, that so they might preserve their life; and it will take many years of prosperity ere they be in the state in which they once were, and many never will. Bankruptcies took place in Paisley to the amount , of seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds; therefore, even ) in a healthy state of trade, it would take years to recover the shock. It may be necessary here to place on record, for the use of those at a distance, the highest numbers which were on the relief list. On the 11th of February the numbers in Paisley were 14,791, and in the surrounding villages 2744, making a total of 17,535. Over and above this there might , be about 2000 who were not on the roll, but who neverthe s less were supported from the charitable donations at the disposal of the various churches in town.—Glasgow Post. NARROW EscAi'e.—On Saturday week, two girls, one of them four, and the other five years of age, the children of George Callender, servant to Captain ThorCurn, at Kelton, were wading in the edge of the river Nith. From having been swollen heavily with late rains, the current had washed the sandy bank into a deep hollow, where there was none before ; and the younger of the children having ventured a little beyond the edge of the water, was in a moment over head, in the place referred to. Her elder sister seeing her danger hastened to help her, and was herself also in a moment beyond her depth. A brother a year or two older was playing not far off, and hearing his little sisters crying for help, he ran in to get hold of them. Ile also, instead of being able to render assistance, was himself engulfed. lle screamed for help; and the mother of the three children fortunately heard their cries, and hurrying to the river saw her:two girls borne away into the current, while, nearer the shore, her boy was struggling for his life. She plunged in, and was immediately beyond her depth. The boy laid hold of her, crying out (for strange fancies come into children's heads)—" Oh ! mother, let us a' die thegither." Finding herself thus rendered powerless to lend any help to her daughters, the poor mother somehow managed to get her face turned to the shore, and got out with her little boy. By this time a general alarm was given ; and a earpenter of the name of Neilson swam in and brought out the nearest girl. The other was floating aw b a e yi n n g t i h n e g middle a iddleveosfsetlhelysintrg on the A b sbo oatr'es, were crew, however, belonging putting out for her, and soon p icked her up. The two little girls were laid on the sunny shore quite insensible. By dint of rubbing, however, they began to show symptoms of re turning animation. and were carried home recovering. Warm applications brought them gradually round to their natural heat.—Wavoto paper. THE LOSS OP THE SOLWAY, The directors of the West Indian St eam - pac k et C ompany have published the following statement as the result of their inquiry into the circumstances of . the loss o f th e S o l way : After a thorough refit of the ship and her machinery, the Solway left Falmouth on the 3d of April, and encountered some stormy weather in crossing the Bay of Biscay. She arrived at Corunna at noon on the 7th of April, rec ei ve d 80 tons of coal, and depa rted again on her voyage the same evening, passing the light-house about 10 p.m. At this time it was blowing a fresh breeze at W.S.W., with a ground swell, the result of the late gale, and a h az i ness over t h e l an d , which, however, was visible. It appears the captain never quitted the deck but once, at about 11 o'clock, when the purser, Mr. Lane, saw him wit h parallel rulers laying down a course upon the ch art, whic h he finished by saying, " There, west, that will do, Lane ; th a t course carr ie s us clearofe vaenre heard) y thi n g him order the s t eersman to k eep the. The captain th en went on d ec k, and Mr. Lane ship west. Mr. Lane states that he had previously made two voyages under Captain Duncan's command, that he was a sober, careful, vigilant officer, and from the beginning to the end there appeared no cause to suspect him of any want of ability or seamanship, but that, on the contrary, in a hurri cane in the Gulf of Mexico, in a storm of the Western. Is lands, and on many othe r occasions, be saw him evince great coolness, skill, and resol ution while commanding the Solway. Mr. Lane further states that he went on shore at Corunna with Captain Duncan, came off to the ship with him, dined with him, and remained walking the deck with him till 11 o'clock ; that Captain Duncan was perfectly sober ; that he never resigned the charge of the ship till she struck, which was immediately after midnight, and that he alone directed the.course to be steered. In about five minutes, or less, after the ship struck, Mr.. Lane was on the forecastle looking round, but could distinguish no breakers. The chief officer was on deck also until 11 o'clock, and took the bearings of the lighthouse at half-past 10. He asked the captain how he intended to steer, who said W.N.W., which the ship was steering, when the chief officer went to bed, having to keep the e morning watch. Before he went below, however, he visited the look-out men, and saw them alert at their post. It had been the practice in former voyages to station and exercise the men at getting the paddle-box boats out and in ; but there had riot been time to accomplish this since the ship last quitted Southampton, as there had been a continued gale of wind, and the crew had been only a few days on board when the ship was lost. Before the chief officer went below, the captain said he should ke e p pretty close to the land, to avoid the swell o u t s id e , pro d uce d b y t h e late gales ; "but," he added, " I shall remain o n d e ck my self in charge of the ship. The second officer had been three voyages in the Solway. He was on deck from the time the ship passed the lighthouse till she struck, but the captain alone directed the course. The second officer visited the two look-out men forward not seven ininntes before the ship struck, and looked a-head him self, but could not see the land distinctly then, nor even after the ship had struck. The captain gave orders to back the engine, which was done, and the ship came off the rocks ; but, finding her sinking, the engines were set on again to run her on the shore, which was prevented by the collapse of the boiler. The third officer was below in bed when the accident oc curred. He immediately assisted in getting over one of the paddle-box boats, but while so employed the boiler collapsed, from sudden condensation, occasioned by the water rushing into the engine-room, and the steam came up so strong amidships as to drive all the people away. They afterwards returned and got that boat into the water. There was not time, however, to get the other paddle-box boat over before the vessel foundered, owing to the time lost and the alarm created by the collapse of the boiler. Three of the quartet-boats, as well as one of the paddle-box boats, were safely lowered, and these four boats saved 98 persons. Of the 35 persons lost, several, including the cap tain, might have easily saved their lives, but could not be persuaded to go into the boats. It appears further that all unite in praising the noble and devoted conduct of Captain Duncan after the striking of the ship, and it is manifest that lie sacrificed his own life in the endeavour to preserve the lives of others. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE (From Eke Mark Lane Express.) The weather was exceedingly tine up to this (Saturday) morning, and the rain—which has fallen in almost every part of the country—together with the high state of temperature which has prevailed during the greater part of the week, have stimulated vegetation to a surprising degree ; and the reports from all quarters agree in describing the appearance of the grain crops as luxuriant and vigorous. The pastures have also been greatly benefitted by the late warm rain, and already bear a heavy crop of grass; the pro spects for the future are, therefore, highly cheering, and hold forth a promise of uncommon abundance. The only cause of apprehension seems at present to be, that the wheat plant may run too much to straw ; and its very rapid growth renders it more than usually susceptible of in jury, should the summer prove wet or boisterous. This, however, is anticipating evils which may happily never come to pass—a proceeding we are always averse to. Up to the present time, the seasons have been all that could be de sired, and there certainly exists no reason for complaint. The conviction that stocks of wheat in the hands of the farmers are short, appears daily to become more general ; and, notwithstanding the effect produced by the continuance of auspicious weather, a check has been given to the down ward movement of prices. At many of the markets in the agricultural districts, barely sufficient wheat has lately been brought forward to supply the demand; and, though purchasers have acted with much caution, sellers have succeeded in obtaining rather advanced rates. The quantity of free foreign wheat at the different maxi. time ports is also drawing into a narrow compass; and, un• less duty should be paid on such parcels as may arrive, good qualities will soon become scarce. At Liverpool the stock has been reduced 20,000 quarters since the end of March, only 50,000 quarters remaining ir warehouse on the 20th of April ; whilst at the commence. ment of the month the quantity was estimated at 100,00( quarters. _ _ At the leading pork in Yorkshire the stocks are likewise unimportant, and the deliveries from the London warehouses have recently averaged from 12,000 to 15,000 quarters per week. Under these circumstances, and with but little probability of supplies of any magnitude reaching us from abroad, it is fair to suppose that prices of the article have at length touched the lowest point, particularly as there is a prospect of a gra dually augmented consumption, the population in the manu facturing districts being now more generally in employ men t than has been the case tor some months. The improved tone which the wheat trade assumed at Mark Lane on Monday last, had some influence in the coun try ; and at nearly all the principal provincial markets held since then, prices of the article have advanced about one shilling per quarter. From our Scotch advices it appears that some very rough weather had been experienced in that country about the end of last week, but since then a favourable change had taken place. Wheat had, we are informed, come forward rather slowly, which, with the somewhat more encouraging reports from the south. had induced sellers slightly to raise their pre tensions, and prices had an upward tendency, both at Edin burgh and Glasgow, on Wednesday. The supplies of oats had proved fully equal to the demand, and quotations of this grain had further given way. Our letters from Ireland state that, though a considerable quantity of rain had fallen there, the growing grain crops looked healthy and well. Wheat, from its extreme scarcity, had however commanded very full rates; and even oats had nearly supported former terms. In duty-paid foreign wheat, the transactions have been on a limited scale, and, with the exception of a slight inquiry for shipment to Ireland, nothing has been done in the article be yond a few small purchases, made by our own millers to sup ply immediate wants ; holders have, nevertheless, remained extremely firm, and have shown more disposition to raise their pretensions than to submit to any abatement. Polish Odessa has realized 425. per quarter, a price at which it has, until very recently, in vain been held. The finer kinds of Baltic have also brought fully as much money as could have been obtained on Monday last. Several cargoes of wheat have arrived from abroad since our last ; 1215 quarters from Danzig, 2609 quart ers f rom quarters from Rostock, ma ki ng to gether Hitherto, we have he a rd o f no sa l es Ko i g s s b 3: e i r t) g , q a u n a d r t e l ; i s 7 . s from on board, and the lay days of some of the vessels which arrived previously having expired, the wheat is being landed iu bond. For lock wheat we have heard of no inquiry, the prices asked are generally 16s. or lis. per quarter below the value of the article free. _ On the sth ult. the stock of wheat in bond in the United Kingdom consisted of 225,854 quarters, an d th ere were on the same day 98,917 cwts. of fl our un d er l oc k .

Since the public sales, business has been dull, and the accounts from China have not affected the market. The stock of tea in London on the Ist inst. was 27,389,000 lbs., against 28,376,000 lbs. at the same date in 1842. Of the pre sent stock, congou forms the proportion of 19,442,000 lbs. ; souchong, 1,008,000 lbs. ; twankay, 1,650,000 lbs. ; hyson, 1,197,000 lbs. ; and Assam, 17,000 lbs. Of Company's con gou, the stock is 6,833 chests. The deliveries this year have been 11,738,000 lbs., against 11.511,000 lbs. to this date in 1812, and the imports 11,200,000 lbs., against 10,010,000 lbs., to May of last year. TUE INDIGO CROP. — The crop of this season is very fa vourably reported upon by the papers brought by the over land mail, and the good accounts received of the appearance of the plant have induced some parties to estimate the probable quantity at 110,000 maunds, while others think it will fall short of that considerably. The Committee of In quiry, composed of shareholders, appointed to look into the transactions which occurred between the late firm of Gilmore and Co. and the Union Bank, have at length finished their task, and they have done so to the satisfaction of all parties interested in the losses of the latter as well as the former establishment. Tbn roport has been published. and it dis closes some extraordinary proceedings Ott the part of the bank, by which they lost £50,000, instead of £500,000, as it might, and was reported, to have been; while the investigation has, on the other hand, exposed what one member of the com mittee calls fraud in effect, if not in intention, on the part of Gilmore and Co., in procuring advance on goods which they never held, and removing what goods were pledged to the bank without authority. The secretary has, of course, had all the blame of the losses thrown upo% his shoulders, and this, we think, with too much severtfy ; for the directors, under whom he acted, should have had their moiety of the odium. The supreme government has suspended the opera tions of public lotteries, pending a reference to the court of directors. It is stated that the lottery has been made pro fitable to the company under its late management. It has been abandoned for its immoral tendency. The Indian press has passed a general vote of censure on these nuisances. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. AT GREENWICH.—On Sunday a a great sensation was occasioned at Greenwich, by the an nouncement that Geo. Smith, Esq. (one of the magistrates for the county of Kent) had committed suicide by hanging himself. It appears, that Mr. Smith attended divine service on Sunday morning, anti returned home about one o'clock, leaving Mrs. Smith to receive the Sacrament. On being let in by one of the servants, he walked up stairs to his own bed-room and s h ut the door. Mrs. Smith returned at two o'clock, and expressed some alarm on hearing that her hus band had been in his bed-room so long. She and the ser vant hastened up stairs, when they found the door locked, and could get no answer. A man named Chapel was promptly employed to mount to the window by means of a ladder, and found Mr. Smith hanging by the neck at the bed-post, with his hands tied with a silk handkerchief. Cha pel cut the unfortunate eentleman down, but, though not cold, he seemed quite dead. Mr. Kemble, surgeon, de posed :—" I have attended the deceased professionally. There were circumstances that induced me to think that he ought to be held under restraint, but he was of so tractable and amiable a disposition that it would have been cruel to have prevented him from walking alone. He had a delusion on his mind that he had made an incorrect return for the income tax. He was himself one of the commissioners. The deceased has long been of infirm mind. A man atten ded him generally, by way of precaution , and deceased was aware of the obj ec t o f it, and appeared grateful for attentions and care. The deceased never confined. He had been away, and returned on Friday. I saw him on Saturday, and then he seemed in deep gloom as to the income-tax return. I considered this an infirmity of mind, and clearly indicative of insanity." Col. F ead t en dered evidence, but the coro ner considered it unnecessar ,end the jury immediately re turned a verdict of " Tempor y ary insanity." WHIUTTIAMPSTEAD.•-WrIOL'Eg ALM SIMP During the past few days several ewes and lambs beltpging to a respectable farmer in this neighbourhood, Mr. Dicken son, of the Cross farm, hap been stolen under most myste rious circumstan ces ; for 'though taken away night after night, not the slightest trace of sheep or thieves could be obtained. Mr. Dickens on on S un d ay morn i ng l ast , having by that time lost no fewer than twelve ewes and eleven lambs, proceeded to give information to Captain Robertson, the the chief constable of police, who immediately himself took the case in hand. The chief constable proceeded to Cross farm, and the result of his exertions has been that all the missing sheep have been recovered, and two men are in cus tody for the offence, one of whom we deeply regret to learn, is a son of the party robbed. It appears that Frederick Dickenson, the prisoner alluded to, sold the ewes and lambs to a man named Charles Young, residing at Codicote-bottom, and the latter drove them to Hertford market, and sold them to a dealer named Desborough, from whom they were taken by one of Captain Robertson's officers in Hitchin market on Tuesday. We are given to understand that the unfortunate youth, Frederick Dickenson, has confessed everything relating to the transaction.—Bedford paper of the 6th. REM MILKAIILL Cif AlLACTER.—Alexander Innes, who has resided in Queensferry for many years, died on the 4th inst. at the very advanced age of 101. He was born in the parish of Duffus, Morayshire : but unfortunately the date of his birth has not been recorded in the parish register; yet, from every circumstance being taken into consideration, it seems he had reached the years which few are permitted to see. He had a distinct recollection of the events that preceded the battle of Culloden—was in the neighbourhood of an af fray with the Highlanders on their march thither—and often spoke of a horse on which Prince Charles rode, as being an object of particular care among his juvenile companions. He had been present also in the stirring times of the Irish rebellion, and had witnessed some of the attrocities of that dreadful period. Often bad he proceeded with cattle from the North of England, and was well acquainted with that trade, and the persons engaged in it. With a change of times, lie had been engaged in many pursuits ; he had been a road contractor, a farm servant, and had his share in the demoralising trade of illicit distillation. For the last twenty years and upwards he followed the humble trade of a hawker of fish. Old Sandy Innes and his ass were known to the whole country side, and there were few doors he knocked at without finding a purchaser, and few, who had the means, who refused him the cheer his aged frame required. He had walked to and from Hopetoun House the day before his death. The Earl of Hopetoun, whose sudden death has oc casioned a great sensation, was a kind benefactor to the old man, and at his departure for London had left orders that he should not be forgotten. He was civil and grateful for any kindness shown to him. He occupied a solitary dwelling, his aged companion having died many years ago; but there were those who consulted the old man's comfort while alive, and many neighbours accompanied his remains to their last resting place in the churchyard of Queensferry.—Edin burgh paper. &I)tiiptim fittelltgure.

Though the show of stock to-day was good, there was never theless an improved demand, and both Beet and Mutton were the turn dearer. A number of prime Beasts have each week been sent to London—a most unusual tiring. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 9 A tremendous demand for Cotton again to-day, both from the trade and speculators; the latter have purchased about 7000 bales, the former about 3000, at very full prices, and business is still progressing. COTTON MARKET. MAY 11 Since our last circular, the demand for Cotton has somewhat abated. On Tuesday 10,000 bales were sold; yesterday about the same quantity ; up to two o'clock there was great activity, but after that time a temporary lull was perceptible, and buyers or speculators were not so keen as the previous day or two ; they have only taken 2000, and the trade 4000, making a total of tioen bales—without any change in prices, but with not quite so animated a tone and feeling in the market. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 8 We have to report a fair supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. On the best white there was an advance of is ; but this improvement did not apply to red and secondary. Barley remains at the same prices, and last week's currency was supported for Peas and Beans. The Oat trade is fully as dear as last week. SMITHFIELD, MAY 8 The supply of Beasts large ; a great number having arrived from Scotland, the trade was very dnll at 2d per 81b. redaction. There were plenty of buyers for Sheep at Friday's prices, the weather being unfavourable. Lambs were sold at reduced prices. Calf trade not so good, but few realised 4s 4d per 81b. Beef 23 4d to 3s led, Mutton 2s 8d to 33 Sd, Veal 3s tid to 4s 6d, Pork 3s to 33, and Lamb 43 6(1 to 5s Sd. By the quantities of Sibs. sinking the offal. Live Cattle at market.

At this day's market Wheat and Oats supported Tuesday's prices, with a rather better demand for Oats than of late. White Wheat, 27s to 305 6d; millers' red, 24S to 25s td; Barley, 11s to 14s; Oats, 8s to tus ; Oatmeal ys to I Is ; and second Flour, 15s to 16s. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 9. Excepting Malt, of which the supply coastwise is rather liberal, the arrivals thence and from Ireland since this day week are generally but light ' • those of foreign produce, con sisting simply of 1022 qrs. o f Wheat from Danzig, and 1003 barrels of Flour horn the American States. Upon a more numerous meeting of home and country buyers at this day's market than we have lately had occasion to notice, the Wheat trade at the commencement assumed a firm aspect, and for good useful samples of Irish and Foreign Wheat an improvement of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. was realised ; but the advance being reluctantly paid, the transactions were only moderate, and in the value of English we have little or no change to note : the recent imports from the Baltic, however, we may observe, were held at such prices as could not be obtained. English and Irish Flour, attended with a tolerably fair sale, fully supported our last currency, and prime brands of foreign were rather dearer. For Malting Barley the demand appears to have ceased, but of grinding qualities some small parcels have been cleared at former prices ; and Malt continued to meet occasional en quiries at our last quotations. Beans and Pease remained nominally unvaried. Good Oats, being still very scarce, and in moderate de mand, improved id. per 45 lbs : and Oatmeal was more rea dily saleable on the terms of last week.
