We can also commend the " Curse of Kishoge," which is written in a style we seldom meet with so richly done as in the pages of the Dublin University. It is inimatable. We extract the following frcm an excellently written tale, en tled, " The Vice Legale's Ball" : The bells of Notre Dame de Donis had already chimed midnight, when Smeraldo issued from the vice-legate's pa lace, enveloped in a light cloak, and with his jewelled cap drawn down over his eyes. The night was dark, and at that late hour not a sound rose from the reposing city. A faint and distant ray of light was, at times, seen struggling through the thick and darkened air, and which proceeded from the high and narrow cells of the watchers, or ringers, in the belfries of the churches. The streets were utterly deserted, and it was a task of no little difficulty to tread aright the tor tuous and gloomy windings of the more remote and less known part of the city, to which, however, Smeraldo bent his course, with a rapid and unhesitating step. He at length stooped at a lofty and cumbrous gate, studded with iron knobs, which closed the entrance to a dark, narrow, un paved, filthy street, or rather lane. On a slight knock being given by Smeraldo, a small wicket was noiselessly opened, and shut as cautiously, the moment he passed through it. " Here I am in the Jewry or Hebrew kennel, at last," he exclaimed, looking around him, without being able to see any thing. " What infernal darkness ! Why it would be impossible to distinguish here one's mistress from an old shaven monk, or foul. bearded Israelite. You must lead me, like a blind man, Lawrence." _ _ " Fair seigneur," said the warden, " here I am. I have executed punctually your orders. The ladder is set right under the little window. But, in the name of all the saints, seigneur, think well of what you are about doing. Fm twenty years I have closed, every evening, at the tolling of the curfew, this gate, and opened it every morning at the first bell for the Angelus, I must, therefore, know, right well, the race of Abraham, and never yet, to my knowledge, did a Jewess give a rendezvous to a Christian without some wicked intention." "To the devil with your wise precautions ! " cried Sme raldo ; " if she had given me a meeting I should not be thus reduced to escalade her chamber,—she would have opened the door to me. Now, show me the house !" The warden obeyed. At the further end of the narrow street stood a house of mean appearance, in the front of which were several small windows, placed at irregular dis tances. Under one of the uppermost of these, and which was without bars, such not being looked upon as necessary, from its great height, was set a ladder, which Smeraldo began mounting rapidly, though not without a certain uneasy feel ing, so novel and strange was the situation in which he found himself. For the first time in his life he was about to com mit an act of brutal and unmanly violence. Hitherto the ob stacles opposed to him had been overcome by other means ; and in no case had inexorable resistance forced him to play so vile and so degraded a part. It was not that he had any scruples of delicacy ; the honour of a woman, and particu larly of a Jewess, was for him of the slightest, or rather, no consideration ; but he felt vexed and deeply humiliated at having failed in his attempts at seduction and in being obliged to act the part of a buccaneer, or a bandit, to accomplish his object. . . _ _ _ . . . - Smeraldo entered, unhesitatingly, through the little win dow, and, alighting upon a winding staircase, he descended with the stealthy pace of a wolf. He had calculated all the chances of his undertaking well ; and as he knew that at that hour of the night all the members of that Jewish family were assembled in the garden, to celebrate the feast of the Taber nacles, he proceeded to examine the house. After having groped his way through several apartments, he entered a chamber, the doorway of which was masked by a heavy silk curtain. A faint and uncertain light, that made its way through the tendrils of the creeping plants that grew about the window, served to render objects partially visible. The floor, which was covered with a soft and silk-like matting, received, noiselessly, the footsteps of Don Smeraldo. A de licate perfume of sandal-wood floated on the air, and min gled with the breath of flowers from the plants and odife rous shrubs that partly filled the balcony, over which hung, according to the fashion in Spain, a parti-coloured blind, or slanting curtain : on the seats lay various articles of female dress, and in one corner glistened a small and fancifully framed mirror. The sound of voices, united in a chaunt, which rose from below, and the reddish light of torches, which flickered through the jessamine branches that grew about the balcony, ttracted him to step out on it, and, on looking down from it, for the moment, forgotten, in sur long the inner walls of this house, every other feeling was, prise and admirati whose front towards the street exhibited a squalid, disco loured, and dilapidated aspcct, ran a tastefully laid-out gar den, planted with pomegranate trees and others indigenous to the Holy Land. _ _ _ _ In the middle of a marble terrace sparkled a fountain, sur rounded by a parterre of rare and exotic plants and flowers : in a word, it strongly reminded Smeraldo of the entrance to one of those Arabian palaces, some magnificent ruins of which still adorn the southern provinces of Spain. For the cele bration of the feast of the Tabernacles a bower of living branches had been constructed upon the terrace, and under this verdant canopy was placed a table, covered with a snow white cloth, and bearing numerous vases, cups, and other vessels of the purest and most curiously cut crystal, and of the most richly-sculptured silver and gold, from which the light of the torches was reflected back in dazzling brilliancy. Never had Don Smeraldo seen, even in the vice-legate's pa ace, a more rare or precious display of the goldsmith's art. Near the table stood the Jew, Ben-Jacob, reading aloud in Hebrew the prayers peculiar to this solemnity. In his right hand he held a palm-branch, the symbol of the east, the native country of his people, and the cradle of his religion. His daughter, and a young man wearing the dress of the Jews of Ermenia, stood beside him. At the other end of the table stood, in a reverential . attitude, an old grey -h ea d e d serv ing-man, and the female servants of the family. D on Smeraldo was not a little surprised at seeing the young g i r l, whom he had met in the streets of Avignon poorly clad, and wearing the yellow cap, the distinctive article of dress the Jews were obliged to wear, now covered with jewels and precious stones, that might have excited the envy of t- I cess. The lofty stature and eastern character of Aleli's beauty, was seen to the greatest advantage in . these fes robes, which, bordered with deep gold fringe, f folds to her feet, of perfect symmetry, but half c little embroidered oriental slippers. Mitit " Simon, tance to give you my daughter, I felt assured that we might pass the remainder of our days in peace here. But God or dains that we again gird up onr loins, resuming our wayfaring . . " Father," the young man replied, " Israel has no coun try, why then should you regret going hencr '" The old Jew shook his head—" My son, said, " this is a good country for the people of our nation ; and I Have gathered together here more riches than the Queen of Sheba brought to Solomon. The people are not ill-inclined towards us, and have been long accustomed to the sight of our yellow caps. With a little prudent circumspection, it is easy to avoid mischief at their hands. Then the nobles have always need of us • though they have broad lands, they cannot sell them ; and they want money, they must melt down their plate, after having pledged it to us ; and all these little affairs are sure to pass through our hands. Some ruin themselves in making a splendid figure in the wars ; for which purpose we procure them armour from Italy. and Arabian chargers from Spain. Others cannot live without the richest per fumes, and the most costly stuffs, which we get them from the far ea.A. By this means I have seen the revenues of many an extensive barony pass into my coffers. As we are upon this subject, I shall give thee one piece of advice for thy guidance : if you wish to do sure business, never lend to one who is all-powerful, no matter what advantage he may offer. Though the vice-legate should offer to pledge me his palace for a miserable sum of a hundred florins, I should answer that I had no money." Old Judas, said gmeraldo to himself, to-morrow I shall ask a thousand from thee, and thou shalt find them without delay ! . _ _ _ Ben-Jacob went on further to explain his commercial and financial theories for the benefit of his future son-in-law, with all the wily sagacity peculiar to the people of the nation. He was one of the true sons of Israel, such as persecution had made them, rapacious, vindictive, mistrustful, an ble, even to servility, in their intercourse with Christians ; but yet this long habit of submission had not quelled every energy of his mind ; his attachment to the faith and cere monies of his religion was sufficiently ardent and deep to reconcile him even to martyrdom ; and, though a passionate adorer of wealth, he hesitated not to sacrifice a part of his present riches and future prospects in order to save the ho nour of his child, and by removing to some distant land, secure her for ever from the pursuit of Don Smeraldo. For a long time back the lovely Aleli had been betrothed to Simon, of the tribe of Levi, and the young man had quitted Armenia, where his family carried on an extensive commerce, to come and join his future spouse. He had ar rived only two days previously in Avignon, and be heard with delight the prospect of returning to his native country in company with his beautiful bride. Whilst apparently listening to the wise saws and instructive instances of the old Jew, his looks and attention were solely fixed upon Aleli, who pensive, her head leaning on her hand, allowed her lus trous eyes to follow unconsciously the flight of the night moths, whose large and tiger-spotted wings fluttered about the flame of the torches. She was still a proud and timid child, who understood nut the passion she inspired, and whose heart as yet palpitated not at the look or accents of love. Smeraldo beheld this scene with mingled feelings of rage and jealousy. The night was wearing fast away, and he feared the opportunity he sought might never occur ; no other inquietude was produced in him by his strange and dangerous situation. _ _ _ oil length the family retired ; the torches were suddenly extinguished, and one after another the heavy doors of the house were closed and barred. Smeraldo, though possessed of a sang froid and audacity more than ordinary, could not restrain the beating of his heart on hearing footsteps approach the chamber. Placing himself in a corner of the balcony, where he could not be seen from the chamber, he remained motionless as a statute, holding his breath, and with his hand upon the hilt of his poignard. Aleli entered the room ; he heard her tell her handmaidens to light the lamp, and leave her alone. After their departure she, without divesting her self of any part of her dress, sat down upon the low sofa, or divan, which, after the eastern fashion, ran along one side of the apartment, and, with her arms crossed, and her head in clined upon her bosom, she seemed absorbed in meditation or prayer. " By all the demons of this world and the next," muttered Don Smeraldo to himself, " what can she be about now ? It is probably some silly ceremony of her infernal religion that obliges her to watch and pray all this night." He remained stationary a little while longer. A profound silence reighed throughout the house,—sleep seemed to have fallen upon all the inmates but Smeraldo and his intended victim, and even she appeared calm, motionless, and her eyes half shut, which after a little time closed, as if with drow siness. Smeraldo then glided noiselessly towards her, his drawn poignard glistening in his hand, and his cap drawn half down over his face-, looking at the moment more like A sordid mid night robber, than a lover that had stolen into his mistress's apartment. Before he could lay his hand upon her, the maiden opened her eyes, and instinctively started back from him, at the same time uttering a stifled cry of terror. " he said reluctantly, but in a suppressed voice, "It is I—fear nothing ; but above all be silent—at your peril cry not out again !' She neither spoke nor cried, but with joined hands, and a look of the deepest terror, she implored the pity of Smeraldo. He smiled, and sat down by her side. " My gentle dove," he said, in a soothing tone, " why do yon tremble thus ? What can you fear from me, a devoted slave at your feet ? You now may judge if I love you—l, Don Smeraldo de Carretto, who have stolen in here, like a thief in the night, with the hope of speaking to you for a few brief moments. Behold me in your apartment !" " In the apartment of a Jewess !" she exclaimed, inter rupting him. " True; I know it is a mortal sin ; but I have some influ ence at Rome, and I shall obtain absolution from the Holy Father. Besides, in you I see my religion, my God, my every hope!" The maiden shuddered on hearing these blasphemous ex pressions, and she looked upon Smeraldo with indescribale horror, though she did not entirely comprehend the infamous motive of his presence, or the danger in which she stood. " My gentle angel," he cried, " I have been driven to this extremity by your cruel refusals. Why have you been so rigorous towards me? Did you imagine I was to be with held from my designs by any obstacle you could oppose to me ? No ! no ! You must love me, and be mine. Come, look up—speak—ask—say what must I do to please you, silly, but lovliest of your sex t" " To please me you must, my lord," she resolutely said, " quit this on the instant." " No, by heaven and earth !" cried Smeraldo, in a sombre but determined tone ; " you shall have other proofs of my love beside that. I shall not depart hence till day-break. I fear nothing, you may well believe : for who dare to force me from this ? if one of your family dared to raise a hand against me —me, Don Smeraldo de Carretto—to-morrow's sun should not go down without seeing him hanged between two dogs, his body thrown into the common sink, his house razed to the ground, and the ploughshare passed over its site. But we are alone, and no one will interrupt us. You will grant me your love, beautiful Aleli." "To love you, my lord ! And what happiness or advan tage could result to me therefrom ?" she asked with the noble ingenuousness of a chaste and youthful maiden, and the in stinct of mistrust so peculiar to the people of her nation. " All the happiness that you can desire in this world—your most boundless wishes shall be gratified. You shall have the most costly robes, the most magnificent jewels, a splendid mansion, far away from the gloomy Jewry, numerous ser vants, girls of good family, to wait upon you, gay pages to obey your slightest behest • and you shall be the envy of all the fairest, and noblest, andi richest of Avignon. for you will be the sole and adored mistress of Don Smeraldo de Caretto." At this word the youthful Jewess started up : a burning impulse of shame and indignation sent the blood rushing to her pale cheeks; the ancient pride and wild energy of her race were roused within her : the signal examples given by the people of God started up before her mind's eye, and the heroic acts of Judith, and other strong women of the remote Jewish times flashed upon her memory, and, with an almost unearthly fire glancing from her eyes, she directed her looks and thoughts towards heaven, as if imploring some divine in spiration. " is not what I have told you," resumed Don Smeraldo, " a fate to be envied by the proudest of your sex ?" at the same time throwing his arms rudely about the neck of the maiden. Aleli slipped from his embrace upon her knees, and her hand, on reaching the floor, encountered the poignard, which Smeraldo had a short time before let fall. The cir cumstance struck her as the sign and interposition she had been imploring from heaven ; she grasped the weapon, and, without uttering a word, plunged it into the breast of her ravisher: a smothered cry escaped his lips, arid he fell back wards ; his limbs shook for a moment with a convulsive movement, then stiffened, and became motionless, his eyes remaining open, and his bead thrown back : the steel had en tered his felon heart—he was a corse. 'We regret to say that an accident of a severe nature occur red to Mrs. Monk, the lady of the Lord Bishop of Glouces ter and Bristol, on Saturday week. It appears that when passing down some steps which lead from the hall-door of the palace, her foot slipped and she fell, dislocating her col lar-bone by the accident. This estimable lady was in conse quence for some time confined to her bed, but we rejoice to say is now better. THE MAYOR OF KIDDERMINSTER.—A vote of censure has been passed upon the Mayor of Kidderminster ' for not presenting personally an address to Mr. Godson, the mem .. Lon]) AstinunToN.—lt is announced, that Lord Ashbur ton is to proceed to America in a few weeks, on a special mission to the United States, to negociate a settlement of differences between the Republic and England. The Stand ard says, that his special instructions are limited to these three points, the Caroline affair, the Boundary, and the Right of Search. The juncture is favourable, and the man well chosen. Both countries have just escaped from a minor quarrel, the trial of M`Leod, which might ha ve a pp ea l e d t o the point of honour on both sides, and involved •both in a profitless and unwelcome war : both are the more desirous of peace. A man of no common talent and sagacity—once the prince of British merchants—our leading merchant in the American trade, and the head of that family which occu pies the post that he relinquished on his elevation to the peerage—connected with the country by intermarriages— thoroughly informed, no less in the actual state of American feeling than in the history of the Republic, and of the parti cular questions which he is to treat—with the rights, wants, and difficulties of America—Lord Ashburton is pointed out by many circumstances as the fittest man that could have been selected for such a mission. He is a thorough English man, but possessed with American sympathies and alive to American interests. No keen partisan, he is Liberal in dis position, and yet not to be suspected of any lack o f Conser vative views. Even the acc id e nt of his title will not be against him with our Democratic cousins. And we have reason to believe, that his shrewd attention has been given to the subject of his mission, with that regard to the rights and the difficulties of both sides which will secure him as much influence as any man could command with both. His appointment is the wisest preliminary step towards a real adjustment of these uselessly and dangerously protracted disputes. Taking the measure 'and the man together, it is in promise, whatever it may turn out in fruition, the luckiest hit that Sir Robert Peel has made.—Spectator. * The Rev. J.

This is, of course, understood in Oxford, but it is desirable that it should be known elsewhere. )xford, D MbisMlN MAIM xtroots from aVreneh Romania peri- -Your obedient servant, C. P. GOLIGIITLY "An English newspaper has lately been asserting that it was unjust to attribute conciliatory opinions to the Oxford school, and that it was altogether a gratuitous assumption that the learned divines of that so justly celebrated university had any desire to see the Anglican church make any ap proaches to the Roman Catholic church. " In reply to this rash declaration, we proceed to cite, without any comment, a letter recently addressed to the liev. Norbert Woolfrey, whose solid discourses have, during the month of September last, been listened to with interest by a great number of the English in the church of St. Peter de Chaillot, at Paris. ' As you wish me to send you some information respect ing the Puseyites, and I have just now some particulars to communicate, which will be highly gratifying to you, 1 have made up my mind to send you the following lines:— '• About ten days ego two Puseyite clergymen dined with us in the refectory, in company with Dr. Pagani, Mr. Fur long, and Mr. Phillips. One of these was Mr. Bloxam,* of Oxford ; the other, whose namef I have forgotten, is an offi ciating minister at Lichfield, a very amiable man, of great piety, and profound learning. He is of a very good family. _ _ Last Suncly he taught the Ave Maria to the school children in his church. He said grace with us after dinner, made the sign of the cross, took some holy water on entering the church, prostrated himself to adore the holy sacrament in the tabernacle, and did this again on approaching the high altar. Mr. Bloxam was more reserved with respect to these outward demonstrations, for several good reasons, which Mr. explained to me afterwards. To return to the clergy man from Lichfield. He spoke several times of his confes sor ; in short he is quite a Catholic. He told me that it was a great pity that Mr. O'Connell had not used his influence, while the whigs were in power, to get some Puseyite made a bishop ; and he added, ' We should then have deputed this bishop to go to Rome, and arrange matters with the Pope.' ' But,' replied I, ' what would you do if the bishops were to refuse their consent?' We would compel them by a pres sure from without.' (Nous les y contraindrons par zone force exterieure.) ' And what do you consider would be the main obstacle to this re-union ?' ` The state.' However he seemed to think that the Queen would not make any great difficulty about giving up her supremacy. " With regard to the celibacy of the clergy, he told me that they had all made up their minds ; only it was hoped that the Pope would not compel those of the clergy who were already married, to part with their wives, and that then they must leave certain of the sacerdotal functions to the priests who were not married. They were, also, he assured me, well-disposed to submit to re-ordination sub conditions, at the same time giving it as his own opinion that their or dination was valid. " At his last visit, this clergyman from Lichfield brought with him a young man, the son of a protestant clergyman, who was on the point of setting out for Rome to study there preparatory to taking holy orders. They both came to us into the fields, where the harvest was going forward. They told us that the Pope had written a very paternal letter, in which he encouraged them to persevere in theit endavours. They assured us also that among the protestant clergy a great number were complete jacobins, and heathens rattler than Christians. " As for them,' this clergyman added, 'as soon as the re-union has been effected, we will send them about their business, as well as all those who refuse to join us.' (Quand la' reunion aura e'te faile, nous les renverrons ainsi que lons eeux qui refuseront !le se joindre a nous.) " In order to show our readers how the catholic movement in the Angliem church is appreciated at Rome, we will here transcribe some remarks of the learned Abbe de Luca, editor of ' Annales des Sciences.' " It is useless," remarks this writer, " again to go through the doctrines maintained by the new school of theology in the University of Oxford, named, after its leader, the school of Pusey §. We have several times detailed the remarkable concessions made to the catholics by this rising generation of protestant theologians, who have either more candour or more learning than their predecessors. We have mentioned in particular the Tracts for the Times', published periodi cally by the partisans of those new doctrines. There is no doubt that it is the intention of the celebrated Professor Pusey to effect a re-union, if he and his party can muster strength enough, of the two churches of Rome and England. '-- L'Ami de la Religion, Oct. 5, 1841. TO THE REV. RICHARD BROWN , Reverend Sir,—l now come to the question alluded to in my letter last week, to which question you, as a pastor, re fused to give an answer. In your address from the pulpit, you informed your con gregation that the bishop had forbidden all the clergy in his district to go about collecting alms ; I, therefore, waited on you to inquire, if the bishop had also forbidden all his clergy to make the wills of their penitents in their own favour. To this question you declined to give adanswer. It is, reverend sir, a question of such importance to the whole catholic com munity, that it cannot remain in doubt! It must be an swered. The interests of religion, the honour and character of the priesthood, require an answer. Are you prepared as a faithful shepherd, having to give an account of your pasto ral charge, to allow your flock to remain in darkness, when it seeks after refreshment and light? Are you, as a priest of the altar, to withhold from the faithful that information which they seek in points of religion ? Should there be any mystery observed in our holy religion ? Are you aware, re verend sir, of the awful responsibility you incur by with holding such information from me? Have you considered the effects which such a refusal will produce on the public mind ?—of the unnatural inference that will be drawn from it should you unfortunately persist in your silence? Think, reverend sir, of the consequences that may result from it to your own flock, when the shepherd refuses it the food after which it hungers. . The question, reverend sir, is a very plain one ; it requires no study, I should imagine, to answer. A disingenous and dishonest pastor may evade it ; a faithful and honest shep herd never can allow it to remain in doubt. You are under Dr. Brown's spiritual authority, you, therefore, must know whether he has given such an order as the one alluded to. You, reverend sir, are my pastor, and I ask you, is there such a power given to confessors as that of making the wills of their penitents in their own favour ? The question, I hope, is intelligible; if not, I will put it in another form. Does the church sanction such a power or right in a con fessor? Will not the c onfessional' be looked upon as an office for the making of wills should no answer be given ? Is the love of temporal interests to outbalance the love of those that are spiritual ? L'amour qui nous attache aux beautes eternelles, N'etouffe pas en nous l'amour des temporelles. Do we find, reverend sir, that when Christ gave to his apos tles the power to forgive sins, he also gave them the power to make the wills of their penitents? Have we any instance of such a power being given in the sacred writings ? Did the apostles everexercise such a power? Did they delegate such a power to their disciples ? In the third century, we find St. Cyprian loudly condemning a priest who had accepted the office of executor or guardian, and forbidding prayers to be offered up for those who should attempt, by such things, to draw off priests from the service of the altar. Has not the confessional now become a kind of closet for the making of the wills of half-witted, deluded persons? Have we not convincing evidence that such is the case ? Have we not seen that in the confessional the foulest robberies have been committed? Has not the public press called our attention, not many months ago, to the circamstances under which an imbecile old lady had two wills forced upon her by her confessor? Was not the name of the confessor given at the time, and has he attempted to deny it? Have we not heard of a confessional in an adjoining county being profaned in a similar manner? Have we not in this town, three wills of three old maids, in the Deputy Registrar's office, all in the handwriting of the same confessor? Have we not re cently seen a confessor come into a Court of Justice with two Wills of his penitent, having one to fall back upon in case he should have failed to establish the other ? Have we not heard of these and other abominations at which the heart sickens ? And where is the bishop that he takes no notice of this ? Where is the priest, the good and faithful past.r, who has come forstard to condemn such profanations ? What, is there not one clergyman among your whole body, not one reverend doctor to take up his pen or to raise his voice against such scandals? Where and when are such shocking abuses to end ? The greatest enemies, reverend sir, which the Catholic Church has to fear and fight against, are her own clergy ; history shows us that this has been the case in past ages. Our Saviour has said, " You cannot serve two masters ; you cannot serve both God and mammon." Which of these masters do you think, reverend sir, is worshipped by your will-making brethren? I must for the present conclude, and will resume the sub ject next week ; meanwhile, I hope you will do me the honour to reply to my query. I am, rev. sir, Your very obedient servant, THOS. EASTWOOD Greenfi2ld, December 29, 1811 THE TRACTS FOR THE TIMES TO THE MOST REVEREND FATHER IN GOD, HIS GRACE THE LORD ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, PRIMATE OE ALL ENGLAND AND METROPOLITAN• We, the subscribed, lay inhabitants of Cheltenham, and devoted Episcopalians, regarding with dismay the recent de velopment of the views inculcated by the authors of the " Tracts for the Times," venture to address your grace, as the chief ecclesiastical guardian of the. church of Christ in England, persuaded that many of the writings are utterly repugnant to the word of God, at variance with the plain meaning of the articles, liturgy, and homilies of the church of England, and contain the essence of many of the most fatal errors of the church of Rome. _ _ We therefore humbly entreat your grace to take such mea sures as to your grace may seem most advisable for the epis copal bench to declare, authoritatively, their united disap probation of those opinions, which have already been sepa rately condemned by many of the bishops at their triennial visitations, as we doubt not they would have been by the re mainder, had similar occasions presented themselves. We do not presume to dictate to your Grace, but present our request in solemn earnestness, as to one whom the charge and oversight of the flock of Christ in this realm has been committed by the Chief Shepherd and Bishop of our souls. We, the subscribed, with every sentiment of respect, humbly beg to declare ourselves your Grace's most obedient and faithful servants. Lambeth, Dec. 24, 1841 Gentlemen,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23d of this month, accompanied by an address very numerously signed by many of the laity of Cheltenham, and I beg to assure you, that in compliance with the wish expressed by the petitioners, I shall give my grave consider ation to this document. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, John Lewis, Esq., &c. W. CANTUAIt. AMERICAN DUEL.-At Natchez, by the latest advices, a duel between Judge Tenney and N. C. Rowley, Esq., was in train of preparation. It was to take place on the 6th inst., on the Arkansas shore, opposite to Princetown. Each of the principals was to be armed with a rifle, a pair of duelling pistols, and a bowie knife. The rifles to be discharged at thirty paces distance, then to advance at pleasure to the full of one or both. The cause of the duel is said to be a deci sion of Judge Tenney, at the last Circuit Court in Concor dia, affecting Rowley's property. Quite an improvement on the usual tardy course of appeal. Should the judge receive a rifle ball through the heart, we presume it will be held that his decision was wrong, and ought to be set aside. On the other hand, should his Honour succeed in plunging a bowie knife fist-deep into the thorax of Mr. Rowley, then the law of the judge will stand as good, and the equity of his decision be unquestioned.—Guiana Gazelle. ;.41,flarlirtf.

Number of Beaat 1416; Sheep 2964, LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 3 Without being able to notice a positive advance in the price of Butter ;—we may state that holders have certainly adopted a more confident tone, with an improving demand. The provision trade continues in a very inanimate state, and the currency is quite nominal. Bacon is a freer sale, and 56s to 58s for good heavy meat is obtainable. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, _ January 3. The supply of Potatoes coastwise and from the Isle of Man is limited. The demand for re-shipmeut into the interior still con tinues dull, but our town dealers are very free buyers, and prices may be (looted fully Id per gOlbs. higher since the 30th ultimo. Manz, Scotch and Irish Cups 2s to 2s 2d; round and rough Reds 2s 2cl to 2s 3d ; Seedlings 2s ad to 2s 4d per golbs. This being a holiday time amongst our farmer's servants, the Hay market is only scantily supplied with the usual description of produce exhibited for sale. Pink-eyed Potatoes 2s 3d to 2s 6d ; Cups 28 lid to 2s 4d; Short Tops Is 4d to 2s 2d; Cattle Is 7d to Is 10d psr gulb. Turnips 25s to 26s ed ; Manglewurzle 20x; Car rots 43s per ton.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET.—DEc. 31 Since our advices of this day se'nnight the trade has continued exceedingly dull ; the buyers having entrely confined themselves to the mere supply of their immediate wants. In addition to some other causes which have their influence at the present juncture, the uncertainty respecting the anticipated alteration in the Corn Laws has the effect of preventing speculation,—and a tendency to a depression of prices is the natural consequence of the contracted operations of the trade. . . Our market, (partly owing to the change of the day) shows an entremely thin attendance ; and the business doing is so limited in extent, that last week's prices are continued without alteration. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEc. 31 The supply of horned Cattle and Sheep at market this morning was very small compared with the usual average for a Friday's market, consisting of only 358 head of the former and 2,220 of the latter. Of Calves the supply was an average one, and small of Pigs. There was a better attendants of butchers, who were more desirous of purchasing, and the appearance of the weather being more favourable for slaughtering, more business was done in all kinds and descriptions of meats, in all of which total clearances were made. Beef was in price the same as this day week. Mutton much the same. Inferior Veal commanded about 2d higher rates. Pork rather lower than on Monday. (Per stone of Bibs, sinking the offal.) LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 31 The supplies of Irish Oats are very large, being about 3,6n0 qrs. Of other kinds of Grain and Flour the arrivals are moderate. Wheats of good quality reach Monday's prices. Other kinds are dull. Barley is a very slow sale. Oats rather cheaper. Beans, Peas, and other articles unaltered, with little doing. Arrivals.—English Wheat 2,080 ; Barley 7,630 ; Oats 6XO. Irish Oats 36,320. Foreign Wheat 2,280 ; Oats 1,310. Flour, 3,410 sacks LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 31 The rates of duty for the ensuing week are advanced upon foreign Wheat to 235. Bd., on Barley to 15s. 4d., on Pease to 11s. per quarter, on Flour to 1-Is. 21d. per barrel, and reduced on liye to ss. per quarter; those on all Colonial produce remaining unaltered. We have to notice but a limited fresh supply of Grain from any quarter, and the arrival from Ireland of Oatmeal and Flour is also very trivial; of the latter article, however, about 15,000 barrels are reported from Canada and the United States together, within the past three days. Between Tuesday and to-day the trade has ruled generally inactive, the demand being entirely confined to retail pur chases for consumption at our last quotations. This morning's market, also, was thinly attended by mil lers and dealers, scarcely one appearing from the country; and, with the exception of a few thousand bushels of Wheat taken for shipment to Ireland, little business was transacted in that article, in most cases at a decline of ld. per 701b5., holders in general showing disposition to meet a demand. Flour met a difficult sale at barely so good prices. Beans must be noted at is per qr, and Malting Barley ra ther cheaper, with little inquiry for either. Oats and Oatmeal exceedingly dull, and prices nominally the same as before. No sales of bonded Wheat or Flour on the spot have taken place, and the only transactions reported since our last are two or three cargoes of Mediterranean Wheat, sold to arrive, at previous rates. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 31. The brokers have been almost too busy with their annual circulars to attend much to the selling of Cotton, so that the market has appeared quieter, a fair demand has been experienced, and fully 3,300 bales have been sold at full prices. The stock of Cotton in this port is 429,930 bales, varying but little from the weekly statements of the brokers' circulars. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT, The improved demand from the Trade noticed last week has been actively followed up this, and there has also been extensive business done on speculation, both in Surat and American des criptions ; the former readily command the extreme quotations of last week, whilst the latter have advanced id per lb generally. Brazil and Egyptian continue dull and heavy of sale. 5500 American and 500 Surat have been on speculation, and 500 American for export. 1700 American, 20 Pernambuco, 20 Bahia and 20 Surat have been forwarded unsold into the country this mouth.
