They then refer to Lord Stanley's despatch of the 2nd of March last, as a•proof that the imperial government never contemplated this state of the relative prices, and suggest as the only effectual remedy to guard against the danger to which the trade is ex posed, that-..their legislature shbilld allow a drawback at Quebec or Montreal whenever the price at these ports shall exceed 30s. per barrel. They' then suggest resolutions expressing confidence that the public de c l ara ti on o f th e enlightened statesman who presides over the councils of the mother country will be carried into effect, and that Canada will be treated as an integral part of the empire; which desirable objects, they observe, can only be attained by removing " all duties on the products of Canada, particularly on all description of grain and meal when admitted to the ports of the mother country," in return for which the Legislative Assembly is recommended to remove all duties on the manufactures of the mother country, when admitted into the ports of Canada from sea, which they expect the finances of the province will render safe and :practicable within a few years after their great leading communications to the ocean are opened. A circular addressed by a house established at St. Louis, to the farmers, millers, and merchants of Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin, estimates the wheat crop of the United States for 1842 at 110,262,000 bushels, and the estimate of consumption in the United States at four bushels, or a fraction over four fifths of a barrel of flour per annum to every inhabitant, allowing for the quantity used in manufacturing and other purposes, so that with a population of 18,500,000 the gross consumption will be 74,000,000 bushels. On account of the lowness of price, the consumption this year is calculated at four bushels and a half per head, making an aggregate con sumption of 83,250,000 bushels, le av i ng a surp l us o f 27,019,000 bushels to supply foreign demand. The yield of Ohio is stated at not less than 21,000,000 bushels ; Illinois, which in 1839 yielded 3,335,000 bushels, is expected to yield 5,847,000 bushels; Missouri, which in 1839 yielded 1,037,000 bushels, is estimated at 2,064,000 bushels; Wisconsin, which in 1839 yielded 212,000 bushels, is expected to give 636,000 bushels.

A MURDERER'S SCRUPLES. — MonteIy, the murderer of the messenger of the Orleans Bank, is now quite recovered from the effects of his late attempt at starvation. He takes his meals as usual. Last Saturday, as his breakfast, con sisting of eggs and a cutlet, was placed before him, he ex claimed, " What ! eat meat on a Saturday ! Not so bad as that !, Give me the eggs." Montely's scruples call to mind the conduct of the Calabrian robbers, who kill a man with one hand, and make the sign of the cross with the other. The trial will, it is supposed, come on next month. EXTORTING -A CONFESSION.-111 Calvert county, one night last week, a free negro man went to the house of an elderly lady in the absence of any male member of the family 3 and after violently beating her, robbed the house of about 500 dollars in specie. He was apprehended a day or two after, and after having been hanged up by the neck four or five times, until he was nearly dead, was induced to confess his crime, and the whereabouts of the largest portion of the money. He had secreted it in different places. The lady did not recover until the next day, and was then unable to give any definite account of the matter.--New York paper. THE HOLYWELL-STREET NUISANCE,—The man Patter son is at length driven from his lair in this street, the person from whom he rented the shop having given up possession to the head-landlord, a gentleman residing in Chancery-lane, who immediately, and to the great satisfaction of the He brew residents, bundled out the boy who carried on the busi ness, papers And all. The shop therefore closed at five o'clock on Wednesday, and shortly after that time a friend of Patterson's, by edme means or other, gained admission, and threatened the man who was left in care of the premises with violence if he did not leave at once. The man, however, sent for a policeman, and charged the intruder with btirsting open the door, whereupon the latter left the shop, and took to his heels; so that the public may now pass through a convenient thoroughfare without having their eyes and understandings shocked by the emanations of this daring bliisphemer. DARING ATTACK AT TENNYPARK.--011 the morning of Wednesday, between the hours of one and two o'clock, an entrance was, effected, by three men, into Major Keating's house Tennypark; near this city, by removing, by means of a crow-bar dr some such instrument, the grating (which was leaded into cut stone) over the basement story, and raising the window of the servants' hall. They then proceeded to the apartments of the two servant men, and, having pre sented a pistol, demanded their fire-arms. There were none, hOwever, in the house. Having left one of their number on guard, to prevent any resistance from that quarter, the re maining two proceeded to the room of the servant-maid, and sent her to Mrs. Keating to announce their intention of waiting on her, and immediately after entered her bedroom. The lady, greatly alarmed, of course, asked them what they wanted ? upon which they replied that they wanted her money, and told her not to be alarmed, as she should not be molested: She said they should have all the money in the house, and then gave her maid the keys to give it to them, which mounted to £ll. The party then left the house. One of these robbers had on a mask. another had his face blackened, and the third was muffled in a riding -coat. Al though Mrs. Keating's gold watch was lying on the table, and one of the party actually had it in his hand, yet they did nos take it, nor anything else, though there was a large quan tity' of plate and other valuables in the houae.—Kilkenny Journal. The credit of the United States is no more. It is worth a moment's inquiry to ascertain the causes of its fall. We need not delay the investigation by following the President's attempt to distinguish between the credit of the Union and the several credits of the different states of which it is com posed. The Union is afirm, the several states are the part ners in that firm, and whether we regard the causes that have led to the general loss of credit as founded in dishonesty or insolvency—and they must be assigned' to the one or the other—the effect must be the same. If the bankrupt mem bers of the firm are mere:y dishonest, their dishonesty must reflect upon the whole company, which wants either the will or the power to restrain its members from the commission of gross frauds, and which may, therefore, be expected to imitate, in its collective character, the same fraud when oc casion shall arise. If, on the other hand, the repudiating states can plead insolvency. the Union must be regarded as insolvent, unless it can be shown that some of the states are rich enough to make good the defalcation of their partners. We take, however the charitable hypothesis —we believe the repudiating states to be really insolvent ; that it is " their poverty and not their will consents" to the cheat by which creditors suffer. These states have borrowed more than they are able to pay—more than they ever will be able to pay. This casts a useful light upon the future, as well as upon the past, of American history. If the republicans have been borrowing more than they have any prospect of being able to pay, they have been all this time living upon the money and the industry of strangers. All the prosperity, all the improvement, all " the going a-head," which they and and others have been fond of ascribing to their democratical institutions, have been fallacious at such a proof, because they have been the fruit of a robbery—it may be, and we are willing to believe it has been, an undesigned robbery—of the people of countries that are not democratical. The in ference as to the future is gloomy enough. If, with an un impaired credit. with a land-fund difficult to exhaust, with that prosperous use of both which has been the subject of so much exultation, the republicans have not been abl e t o avoid bankruptcy, what may they anticipate with_ these re- sources cut off, and in their bankrupt condition ? It is no pleasant prospect to look upon, the retrogradation in civili . zation and happiness of so many millions of our kinsmen, but we confess that we cannot see any other prospect except through an essential change in the constitution of the repub lic—a change, perhaps, extending to a dissolution of its union.—Standard. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE IN GALWAY. , Disc nd so great EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF THE MURDER OF MR. SCULLY.—The amount of the re ward offered for information respecting the murder of this ill fated gentleman considerably exceeds £2,000 including £l,OOO from the Kilfeacle family, and £2OO from govern ment, with what ultimate prospect of leading to discovery, time alone can tell. There were nearly £6,000 offered in the case of the late Earl of Norbury. On Saturday week, an old man at Chilliniton, Sussex, 82 years of age, hanged himself in a hovel near his house, having previously dedlared to his wife that " He could not be saved ; his sins would not he forgiven him ;" and on Monday evening, an old woman of 70, in St. Luke's, cut her throat in despodency, brought - on by distressed circum stances. On Wednesday last, a poor fellow, named Rowbotham, 40 years old, who had for 20 years earned a subsistence by sweeping the crossing of the Strand, opposite Waterloo bridge, was locking up his room t o go out f or t h e d ay, w h en his landlady came up stairs. He remarked to her, " This is the shortest day God has permitted us to see ; but God only knows who will live to see the longest one ;" when he in stantly fell on the floor, and expired. Surgical aid was pro cured, but without effect. NOCTURNAL ASSEMBLING OF RIBBONMEN.—On the night of the 22d of December instant, the Ballinagh police, under the command of Serjeant Spinks, came up in the towniand of Shannon, parish of Ballintemple, county Caven, with a large party of men amounting to at least two hundred, who were marching in regular order, five deep, accompanied with music, several of whom were armed with either guns or large poles, carried on their shoulders like fire-arms. They were under regular command. The police, who had con cealed themselves behind the fences, heard the word " halt" given, The police jumped up, challenged them, and receiv ing na reply, seized seven, one each, who are now in Caven gaol. Parties similar to that mentioned have been frequently met on the roads in this neighbourhood after night. Balls, as they are called, are held in different houses, from which, women :being excluded, there can be no doubt that mischiet in some form is intended. Great praise is due to Serjeant Spinks and his party for their exertions on many occasions; they are a most respectable and active body of men, esteemed by every well-thinking person in the community--Evening Packet. BIGAMY—A FAMILY COMPLAINT.—A young man named William'Bowlen was brought before a county magistrate, on Tuesday, at Stockport, on a charge of bigamy. It was proved that he was married to Mary Holland, at the parish church of Ashton-under-Line, on the 17th of May, 1835, and in July, 1839, to Betty Holland, at Almondbury, near Huddersfield, both of whom are now living. He was committed for trial ; but on the application of Mr. W. Vaughan, who appeared on his behalf, bail was accepted for his appearance at the assizes, Strangely enough, the prisoner's mother, Hannah Bowden. who, on bearing of his apprehension, had come to see him, was also taken into custody, under a warrant which had some time been out against her on a similar charge. She was also brought before a county magistrate the same day, when Mr. J. S. Barrett, deputy constable, stated, that a few years ago the prisoner was married to a person named John Smith, of Stockport, her first husband, Joseph Bowdtn, being then and now living at Sheffield. Smith is also living at the,present time, but the prisoner and he had separated some time ago, and she had lately been residing with a man named Joseph Lockett, near Huddersfield, to whom it was supposed she had also been married. She was remanded. FREAKS OF A MANlAC.—Tuesday forenoon, an Italian of the name of Scale Della Dominica, recently an officer in the army of Mehemet Ali, made a most singular attempt to disable himself by cutting off his toes, to overcome he said, " the charms of the priests, who wanted to get rid of him." He had lately been lodging in Stafford-place, Pimlico. and though considered to be of weak intellect, was known to be able to take care of himself and his property until the event above alluded to occurred. At two o'clock, Mr. Turner, surgeon, of Coventry-street, called upon him, according to appointment, to transact some business in which they were mutually concerned, and was surprised at seeing as he en tered the room, a pool of blood upon the floor. The lunatic (for he is now called one) was sitting on the carpet grasping a razor, round the handle of which he had bound a towel, and again covered it with string, saying, as he pointed to his feet, " You see what I have done." His friend remarked that he had severed one of the toes, and that blood was flow ing copiously fromithe wound. Ile then said that he would cut off the other, but before he had time to carry his threat into effect the razor was taken from him, and he was p r e ven t e d from doing hi mse lf f ur th er i n j ury. Ile gave as a reason for his strange conduct, that he knew if he cut off both his little toes it would put an end to the charms of the priests, who wanted to get rid of him. The blood having been stanched, he was taken to St. George's Hospital, but it is feared that lock-jaw will come on. Mr. Pollock, the house surgeon, under whose care the man now remains, has no doubt of his insanity, and, in the event of his recovery, intends to send him to Bethlem MURDER AT SPERNALL, NEAR REDDITCR.—We have the painful duty, this week, of recording another murder , which was committed, on Sunday last, (Christmas-day,) at Spernall, near Studley, in the county of Warwick, by a young man, named James Crowley, the son of a respectable farmer in that village. It appears that his father bad two sons, of whom one was dutiful, affectionate, and industrious, whilst the other (James) was wild, idle, and dissipated, though possessing considerable talents. He had often threatened to beat his father, and had carried his unnatural violence so far as to menace his life, and had, consequently, been bound over to keep the peace towards him. The father, however, at length became so terrified at his desperate behaviour that he was compelled to have some one to reside in the house capable of protecting him from the violence which he appre hended, and the party selected for this duty was one of his labourers, a fine young man, named Titsley, standing six feet in height, though not more than twenty years of age ; and, in order to give him additional authority, he was regularly sworn in as a constable. Mr. Crowley did not, however, enter into these arrangements without making conciliatory overtures to his son, who was to receive an allowance of X 1 per week, together with a saddle horse, and keep for the animal, on condition that he resided away from the farm house, and did not come to annoy its inmates. As the pre sent festive season approached, the prodigal, not content with his punctually-paid allowance, demanded more money of his father, to spend in folly and riotous living, than he chose to provide him with, upon which he gave vent to his passfon, and swore that he would shoot him. On Sunday last the unhappy young man proceeded from his lodgings in the neighbourhood to the farm, apparently with the intention of carrying his awful threat into effect, as he took a double-barrelled gun with him. As he ap proached the house, -the inmates, apprehensive of a dis turbance, locked the door and went up stairs ; and the young man, finding that he could not gain admittance, began breaking the windows ; upon which Tilsley, and two others descended, and Tilsley told him that if he did not desist he should take him into custody, and convey him before the magistrates on the following day ; and on his approaching to arrest him, he suddenly turned round, and, fiercely ex claiming " D—n your eyes, I'll shoot you !" raised the piece to his shoulder, fired, and in an instant Tilsley fell to the ground a frightful corpse, the contents of the gun having en tered the skull at or near the eye, and the blood and brains being scattered about the court-yard in all directions. As soon as he had consummated this appalling deed, the mur derer walked round the mangled body of his victim, dared the bystanders to come on and receive the contents of the other barrel, went to his lodgings and untied his horse, mounted the animal, rode off in the direction of Coventry, and has not been heard of since, though every exertion has been made to trace him. As soon as assistance arrived, the body was conveyed to an adjoining building, to await the coroner's inquest, which was held yesterday (Tuesday), by W. O. Hunt, Esq., of Stratford-upon-Avon, one of the Warwickshire coroners, and a respectable jury. The public sympathy is increased by the fact that poor Tilsley, though so young, was a married man, and has left a widow and two children to lament his untimely end. It was stated at the Bromsgrove Petty Sessions yesterday, that the murderer had been apprehended, but our latest accounts from the scene of the tragedy do not confirm the statement, and the last re port received at the County Police Station, in this city, also states that he has not yet been taken.—Worcester Journal, Dec. 29. 25.—One of the mot melancholy cir on record occurred here this, morning at six sh chapel of St. Nicholas was, as is usual, rer classes of persons to hear first mass. person in the gallery broke one of the rails, which led the rest so much that a rush was made down the le for freedom that thirty persons were. actually suffocated - by the numbers literally lying over them. While I write this the dead are passing on doors carried by their friends. In fact, the whole town pre sents a melancholy spectacle, the friends and relatives of the unfortunate sufferers running here and there in a distracted state. When I went to the spot the scene was awful; the large temperance room next the chapel was full of the unfor tunate victims laid out in rows, waiting some friends to re cognise and take them to their dismal homes. Several medical men were in attendance, but all they could do was to open a vein in each, which had no effect. I next went to the watch-house where several lay in the same state. How ever, one man who had been bled recovered ; alsg two women ; one of the latter cannot survive long. I was in formed by the apothecary of the dispensary that he had succeeded in recovering five who were brought to him in time. Several more,are despaired of. Since writing the above a gentleman has called on me, who states he was in the gallery at the time, and that it was the ladder used for lighting the candles, that fell from the place where it was hung, that caused the first alarm. How ever, it matters little what caused it—the numbers stated are dead, and many are not expected to live the day. At this moment (two o'clock) thirty-five persons are dead, and it is supposed that from ten to fifteen more will shortly be numbered among the dead. There are a great many, be sides, maimed. They are all of the lower classes, inch as poor tradesmen, labourers, and servants—no respectable persons among them. There was no danger at all of the gal lery giving way ; it is very strongly built, and would bear four times the weight that was on it at the time. There must have been between four and five thousand people in it at the time.—Dublin paper. PRESERVATION ROSCREA, TUESDAY, 27th DEC., 1842.—Having just read in your paper, of Monday, a distressing account of a most dreadful calamity which happened on Christmas-day, at a chapel in Galway, in which, at least, thirty-five individuals were crushed to death, I thought it would be well to mention a very extraordinary event which occurred, the same day, in the parish of Corbally, near Roscrea. There is no Pro testant church in the parish ; but the people have, for some years, assembled in the lofts of a mill. They had latterly been transforming this mill into a church, but divine service was still conducted there. On Christmas-day the congrega ton was unusually large, every corner filled to suffocation, several hundreds crowded together. Service ended, sermon closed, and the clergyman having sat down in the pulpit, (waiting until the people would separate, that the commu nion might be administered,) a crash like thunder was beard : then shrieks, groans, and cries of the most appalling nature ; and, lo ! the greater - part of the long loft on which the people were crowded, in the act of going out, was seen sinking ! A beam had given way, and all —men, women, children, forms, ' beams rafters, commingled —were crushed into an under story, lately excavated, twelve feet deep, and covered with stones and rubbish. It was, indeed, the most horrible scene I ever witnessed : nothing was expected but a sight of human death and suffering such as the mind shudders at the contem plation of. It is calculated 150 went down, nearly one-half the congregation But here came the caus e o f , here the subject of praise to every tongue : not a man, wo man, or child, that I can learn, w as kill e d, nor a b one broken ! A. few had scrapes, some clothes were torn, and bonnets and bats broken. It, certainly, is a most astonish ing instance of providential interposition. Boards were torn to pieces. gratitude, boards rent and wrenched, rafters and beams broken, immense spikes and nails standing out in every di rection, through which the people were precipitated ; and, yet, so did He give his angels charge concerning them, not one individual was seriously hurt. It is worthy of observa tion, that the service was completely finished before this catastrophe took place; and that the part of the floor on which their plain and humble table was laid for the com munion, was left .untouched: so that the event afforded a grateful restorative to those who, through terror or the shock, had fainted or were indisposed. I may, perhaps, also add, that-in that spot, on which a church had never been erected, surrounded by those hundreds of poor Protestants, the clergyman is now endeavouring, by private subscription, to erect a permanent church, and that any benevolent indivi dual who sends a subscription to the curate of Corbally, Roscrea, will aid and encourage a labour in the Lord's vine yard.—Dublin paper. COURT GOSSIP. The patent is the joint property of Mr. Wm. Neilson, builder, who has so successfully proceeded with the erection of that splendid edifice, the new County Buildings ; of Messrs. David Lyon, and Co., at present engaged in the construction of the Victoria Harbour at_Dunbar ; and of Messrs. P. and W. M'Onie, engineers, Glasgow, by whom this machine has been made. The cost of these machines, with engines to drive them, will vary, we belidve, according to size, from £4OO to £6OO each.—Glaspow Herald. SUBSTMUTE FOR COFFEE.--Sweet potatoes cut up in small pieces, and'browned as you do coffeet. - and afterwards ground in the same manner, and aftervigrdi'boiled as ground coffee, make a substitute which cannot be discerned from the genuine Havana. This information we get from Jno. V. Singer, captain of the steamer Mustang.—Texan Times. We have seldom had to record an instance of heavier bereavement than the following, with which Mr. George Smith, gardener at Hirsel, has been visited :—On the 6th Nov., his eldest daughter, Margaret,, rged si x y ears, was cut off by typhu s f ever; on the 29th, Margaret Brown, his wife, aged thirty-four; on the Ist Dec., James. his only son, aged two and a half; and on the 14th, Elizabeth, his second daughter, aged four—all by the sank disease. —Kelso SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday last an awful instance of sudden death occurred to Mr.. Robins, a respectable wine merchant of Brighton. Mr, ,Robins was engaged in his of fice on the Marine-parade, and complained of illness. He got into his gig and proceeded to his residence, in the west part of Brighton. On arriving at the door he was got out of the gig with some difficulty, and although several medical gentlewen v.ery iu lul m.Cdioto utLeuclanec, Le c , plictl Di a. few minutes. THE FEATHERED TRIBE OUT OF THEIR RECKONING. Within the last few days, sparrows, in'several instance, have been seen busily engaged in building their nests. They have been thus observed at different farm-steads in East Lothian, and also in the neighbourhood of - Musselburgh. The crows, too, have shown indications of pairing. As a further proof of the mildness of the season, certain kinds of trees are in pretty full blossom, which in all likelihood will be nipt ere long.—Edinburgh Standard. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON. --111 the garden of the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society a splendid specimen of the rhododendron dahuricum atrovirens is now to be seen in full flower. This plant, which usually blossoms during the months of February and March, came into flower about the 10th of December, and has been literally covered with its delicate pink blossoms since that time. This hardy shrub was removed to its present situation during April, 1841, but did not produce its usual complement of flowers last spring, which in some measure may account for the abundance of its blossoms at this period.—Caledonian Mercury. MONUMENT TO BURpIS.'.S HIGHLAND MARY. Our readers will recollect thatygome time no a subscription was commenced for the purpose of erecting a monument to High land Mary, over the spot where repose her ashes in the,West churchyard, Greenock. Somewhere about £lOO was collected, and a very handsome monument, designed and executed by Mr. Mossman, has now been erected over the grave. The inscription on the monument, unless good taste prevent it, is to be the followi ng b a ld conce i t :—" Sacred to genuine and love—to Burns and Highland Mary ;" it being considered too common-place and vulgar to inform the stranger that the monument is erected over the ashes of Mary Campbell. FRENCH ATTEMPT ON MADAGASCAR.'—A letter from St. Denis, (Isle of Bourbon,) July 22, states, says the Con stitutionnel, that two French corvettes had arrived there, on their way to Madagascar, where they were going to join five other government vessels that had taken possession of the island of Nosse Be. It was said, that the expedition against Madagascar was seriously spoken of. At present, we have only succeeded in occupying some points on the seashore ; and, for a length of time, we have been cooped up in the island of Sante Marie, which is moist and unwholesome. The Ovas, seconded by the English, who have neglected nothing to render abortive our attempts at colonization, could not resist a vigoious and well-combined effort. The resources and advantages of all kinds which the island of Msdagascar presents are immense. Its situation is excel lent, and the soil fertile. It contains spacious and excellent harbours, where our navy would find a sure and easy shelter; whereas, at Bourbon, the harbours are half the year untenable. EFFECTS OF BAD DRAINAGE.—BERLIN.—We look, in deed, about for some peculiar advantage to recommend the choice of Berlin. We wonder whence come all the articles of life, vegetables, fruit, and meat, to support 300,000 people. Not a single natural feature renders it attractive. Besides its location in this wide sandy wilderness, it is built on so dead a level, that they have never been able to this hour to draifi it, but before every house, in the very best parts of it, aye, in the immediate vicinity of the palace itself, lies a stinking festering kennel, rank with bubbles of putrid effervescence. So accustomed are the inhabitants to this that they do not even cover it over. There it is, open to the .clay. Children roll in it as they play in the streets, and the whole city has the odour of a great sink. Yet, again, so in sensible has custom made the inhabitants to this nuisance, that when we spoke of it they said, " 0, was that anything uncommon? Tbey thought that was the smell of all cities." The bills of mortality, however, are not so unconscious of this, for they place Berlin amongst the very lowest on their scale. London, with its vast population, has but one death in about fifty.; Berlin,onein thirty.—From William Howitt's " Rural and Domestic Life in Germany." AN OLD OFFENDER.—The number of thieves lately arrested at Paris, says the Gazette des Tribunaux, amounts to about 50, of whom 20 are receivers of stolen goods. Of the latter a man named Cottin appears to be the most re markable. Living with his mother in the Rue de Roche chouard, No. 31, this man bore the character of a perfectly honest man. He never allowed anything to be brought there'that was of a suspicious origin, but he had four depots in different parts of Paris, where he purchased everything, no matter of how strange a character, provided it was sold cheap. To give an idea of this, it appears from the disco veries of some of the thieves taken up, that on September 12 he purchased 200 pairs of boots stolen from a man named Poussieux, Rue Rambuteaa, No. 14, at sf. each ; a valuable watch and pendule, stolen from M. Genetreau, watchmaker, Rue Laffitte ; and several pieces of merino taken from a shop on the Boulevard du Temple, at If. a metrs. This man has been from the age of 14 engaged in robbery either directly or as receiver, and has undergone not less than 13 condemna tions. Two of his associates were also arrested about the same time, one named Rieux, and the other Lacour. At the lodging of the former a complete collection of house-breaking tools was discovered, and the mistress of the latter, a female named Roque, had on, when arrested, a handsome dress of blue merino taken from Malet, the receiver, who was robbed in the Rue de Suresnes. In the Faubourg St. Germnin band of theives, three are far more prominent than the rest. Labru, of whom we have already spoken, was excited to crime by his insatiable desire of amassing. He had already founded an establishment at Villeneuve-le-Guyarn and wanted to possess more. G au thi er i s t h e father of a family, and remarkable for his tender affection foi his children. Seeing himself tormented by creditors, he robbed to pay on account, and obtain time. "It was all over," said he " I was on the point of g i v i ng up ro bb ery, and l i v i ng like an honest man. We had a last affair to transact at General de La Houssaye's, from which I should have got 2 5 ,000 f. or 30,000 f. I should then have retired to the country, and lived a farmer's life with my family. I would have been honest, and have done good. By that I could have compen sated for many mi " sdeeds, but which, a ft er a ll, never i njured any but the rich. Flachat is a different man from his two associates. He was formerly well to do in the world, but having committed a crime, was sent to the bagne, whence he returned with the most depraved habits, rendered more dangerous from his being a man of feeble mind. Three Juges d'lnstruction are engaged in investigating this compli cated web of crime, and the result will be to clear the capital of some of its most daring theives.—Galismani's Messenger (From the Cheltenham Looker-on.) There seems to be no doubt but that there is to be another intermarriage between the Citizen-King and that of the Ducal House of Coburg. The second son (Prince Agustus) of Duke Ferdinand of Coburg Kohary is to marry the Princess Clementine. Duke Ferdinand fixes the apanage of his son at £4,000 a-year, which few will think a very liberal pro vision for one who is to support a daughter of the Royal House of France. We will undertake to say, that the Duke of Hamilton will do something better for the Marquis of Donglas when he marries the Princess of Baden. The present Duke of Bedf or d, w h en M arqu i s o f Tavistock, tiad £lO,OOO a-year settled on him by his father, when he married. It is not as if Duke Ferdinand were very poor, for he married the heiress of the first and last Prince of Kohary,—one who made an immense fortune in trade, and invested it in a title and estates, leaving his daughter one of the greatest matches in Germany, and of whom Duke Ferdinand was the greatest wooer. Duke Ferdidand must therefoie be rich; he has no other children to provide for, his eldest son being on the throne of Portugal, and his daughter is Duchess de Nemours ; this son is therefore to be the heir of the Kohary property. £4,000 a-year secures therefore rather a shabby allowance for the future Kohary and husband of a royal bride; but in pecuniary matters both papas are likely to look very sharp, for Louis Phillippe has the reputation of being rather a keen man, and so, perhaps, after all, it is only " diamond cut diamond." The approaching accouchement of her Majesty is beginning to be a subject of conversation. We do not affect to be in the confidence of either Sir James Clark or Dr. Locock, and therefore we do not pretend to fix a day when this interest ing event may be expected to happen. There are two fashion able newspapers, however, who would fain persuade us they are in the secret; but, unfortunately, one fixes the time at the latter end of February, and the other the latter end of May, which is guessing with rather too wide a margin to be very satisfactory. The fact is, that her Majesty has become much more matronly since the birth of the Prince of Wales, and she has latterly adopted a style of dress which tends to conceal, in a great degree, any alteration in her appearance. We must, therefore, be content to remain for the present unenlightened. Connected with this subject has appeared a hint, that it may be expected that the Duchess of Kent, assisted by Prince Albert, will hold the Drawing Rooms this season ; but we hold this to be fudge—neither more or less. IRON MASON, OR STONE-CUTTING MACHINE On Friday, the 23d instant, a number of gentlemen en gaged in the building business of the city and neighbourhood, were invited to witness the performance of the new Patent Stone Dressing Machine, erected in Mr. Neilson's quarry, Kelvin-street, North Woodside. The machine since its erection in the early part of the year has been principally e rn _ ployed in making experiments to ascertain the best forms and method of setting the tools, and to find out the proper velo city for their notion, and for the advance of the stones to be dressed under them ; besides this, however, a number of the blocks employed in the erection of the new County Build ings 'were hewn by it. It is driven by a strong steam engine, and is intended for the larger sizes of stones, but-can be used, we understand, at any time for the smaller kind. The ex periments of Friday were to show how the machine will dress the Kenmure rock, which is perhaps the best and stiffest of the freestone employed in the buildings of Glasgow, and most extensively used for the finer fronts. The trial showed that this new and giant mason is perfectly able to put out of his hands beautiful work, and at a rate which, if practised in a complete establishment and on a large scale, will go far to revolutionise the trade, and it is not unlikely that in the coming season it will be widely brought into operation. The stones pass through the - ' machine on a long train of carriages, each carriage having one stone fixed into it. The cutting is performed by revolving wheels having tools fastened in them. The stones enter at one end of the machine, rough as they come from the quarry man's pick, and at the other end come out hewn and polished on the surface, and cut straight and square down the sides. The stones dressed on Friday were of the size of ordinary ashlar. Eight of them, containing forty feet of surface work and thirty feet of side hewing, passed out in twenty minutes, which is equal to the labour of 120 men ; but as the capacity of the machine is for work two and a half times the breadth of this, and as it has already dressed the broad work many times with the same facility, it is equal, we are informed, to 300 men. The greatest difficulty in the way of preparing building stones by machinery, was presumed to be the preserving the corners and edges unbroken and unhurt. This difficulty, however, has been effectually obviated by giving all the cut ting wheels a slight inclination, or, in other words, by giving the plane in which the points of the tools revolve, a slight dip where the tools first strike into the stone, so that in passing away off the stones the tools are elevated so as not to touch them. Many of the most eminent builders and architects of the city have at various times witnessed the experiments with high satisfaction, and in the present instance the trial was eminently successful.

TO CORRESPONDENTS The letter of " No Dickey Sam" has been handed to the publisher of the useful work to which our correspondent refers, who, we feel persuaded, will do all in his power to remedy the annoyance complained of. Unfortunately, our poet's corner was preoccupied, or the lines of "J. M. L." should have appeared. We shall be glad at any time to comply with the request at the conclu sion of " J. M. L's" letter. We differ in toto from "One of the donors." The publi cation of his letter would confer no benefit on the insti tution to which he refers ; and as we are ignorant of the truth or falsehood of " the reports," we cannot consent to publish them on anonymous authority. Were some of the queries answered in the affirmative, we cannot per ceive that any blame can be attributable to the directors, though we cannot say the same of the remainder. EIR Ettnrpool &tanZian. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1842 To Great Britain the year Eighteen-hundred•and forty-two has been, indeed, eventful; we trust eventful for good. Tired with the wild fever for speculative change, and disgusted with its results, the national mind has at length directed itself to the repair• of social disorganisation ; and we have witnessed, in the pre sent year, a series of valuable legislative efforts, having for their object the restoration of society to that well balanced state, in which alone is to be found safety from the assaults of anarchy, on the one hand, and oppression on the other. An ill-adjusted corn-law, added to the effect produced by a succession of deficient harvests, had raised the cost of food to an almost famine price. A faulty tariff was impeding the healthy motion of our commerce, and inflicting serious injury upon many important branches of native industry. The financial affairs of the kingdom, too, had become seriously disorganised, and its credit imminently penilled. By a course of wise and cautious legislation, aided by the dispensations of a bountiful PROVIDENCE, these evils have been materially alleviated. We are blessed with cheapness and abundance of most of the necessaries of life; our commercial activity is steadily reviving; industry-is raising itself from its late pros tration ; whilst, to right the financial condition of the nation, we have submitted to a measure of wise self denial which may justly entitle British honesty to rank second to that of no other nation. Added to these noble efforts, we can point to many important legisla tive measures, conceived for the protection of the in dustry of the country, and which we confidently believe will result in completely fulfilling the benevolent intentions of the statesmen by whom they were brought forward. So much for the internal policy of the government during the present year, and its results; let us briefly glance at our external position. We found ourselves, at its commencement, engaged in two expensive and unjust wars in Asia. In one of these, during its pro gress, we sustained disasters at the contemplation of which, as having befallen British arms, the entire nation stood amazed and indignant. We have ter minated both quarrels, in honour and triumph. The British name is once more, and more than ever, para mount in Asia. We no longer occupy, in Affghanis tan, that false and aggressive position which brought disaster and slaughter' upon the heads of so many of our brave fellow-countrymen ; and, in China, we have achieved the opening of her vast markets to our com merce, whilst her three hundred millions of people are brought within the reach of European civilisation and the blessings of Christianity. We were threatened, through a prolonged dispute, upon a question of terri tory, and a misapprehension with respect to the course to be taken for the suppression of the slave trade, with a suspension of our friendly relations with the United States. We are now —by successful negotiation, guided in its efforts by justice and a knowledge of the extent to which Great Britain might go, in the effi to conciliate, without stooping from her proud posit as a nation—relieved from all fear of embroilment iv that country. To whatever quarter, then, we turn—to our foreign relations, to our social condition, to the state of our commercial and industrial interests, to our financial position or to the temper of the national mind,—we are met with a gratifying prospect as compared with our condition at the close of last year. And though we are quite ready to admit that, upon one question— as to whether the recent changes made in our com mercial system are to be pushed to an extreme length— an attempt is being made to excite popular ferment, and the boast is indulged in that such attempt is sure of success, we have that reliance upon the native good sense, and good principle, of the British people, and the wisdom of the statesmen who now rule the desti nies of our country, that we cannot bring ourselves to contemplate, as at all probable, such a course of rash legislation, and the disastrous consequences which must inevitably be its result. Above the surface, all that we see is gratifying, or nearly all; whilst, below the surface of society, a strong undercurrent of changed feeling is recurring, from which, at no distant period, we anticipate important and blessed results. The heart of the nation, which has for years past been narrowed by a selfish philoso phy, is becoming enlarged with a religious sense of its duties toward s th ose w h o f orm i ts most numerous and most suffering classes. The cold utilitarian feeling, which prompted the passing of a new poor-law bill, is no longer the feeling of any influential portion of the British people. It is no longer regarded as the acme of enlightenment to teach that the industrious poor of the country are to he coerced into self-depen dence—that utter blasphemy !—but, on the contrary, the opinion has gained ground, and is daily gaining ground, that the state has a duty to perform to those poor, of a far different description, and the perform ance of which it has, as yet, scarcely attempted. In stead of being coerced into self-dependence—which is, in other words, uncomplaining starvation—by work house tests or labour tests, the opinion is gaining ground that the poor man may be raised to a con sciousness of his duties, by an attention, on the part of the state, to its duty of providing moral and religious instruction for the people. A sound scriptural system of education, widely developed and rendered accessible to the children of the poor; an extension of church accommodation to the poor;—these are the instru mentalities, and not the coercive tests of a Malthusian poor-law, by which the poor of the empire are to be won to a sense of their moral duties and their interests, and to be taught the important truth—which has too often, in their unalleviated and uncared-for wretched ness, appeared to them but a bitter mockery—that A few more hours—another sunrise and sunset— and the year, which is now running its course, will have passed away; will have been gathered to the years before the flood, and become, with all its busy thoughts and feelings, its eventful histories, its crimes, its sorrows, its triumphs and its disasters, but A MEMORY—to be enshrined in some hearts, to be blotted out in others, to fester, as an irremediable sore, in —alas, how many! It is not our province to enforce upon the minds of our readers, as individual members of this Christian community, the lessons which the approach of such a season is so strikingly calculated' to convey—to moralise upon the noiseless but terrific rapidity with which we prOgress towards - " the end of all things." We cannot enter by the Christmas fire side, to mark the vacant chair or the added blessing— the tear of bereavement, or the joy which beams upon the face and throbs in the heart which the passing year has gladdenied—the gray hair, the enfeebled gait, or the stooping frame which has visited the aged, or the lusty manhobd and the womanly grace which are now seated at the festive board, where so lately thoughtless youth and playful girlhood smiled. We can only pray that, in the year which is to : come, the mourners' tears may he dried, die step of age may be held up by a hand from above, and that the shadow which is over the hearts which time has visited roughly, may not be cast over those which are now bathed in life's sunshine and gladness. As journalists, however, we are entitled to remark upon the mingled good and ill with which the year now passing has visited us, as a nation, and to specu late upon the prospect which the coining year brings with it. To that duty, therefore, we now address ourselves. they are members of the great human family, entit to share in the blessings and the fostering care , t° provide which all governments are established. I'Ve doubt much whether tile government of Sir Robert Peel is alive to the extent to which this feelivg has spread amongst the community. They will learnit, however, i n goo d t i me , w h en t h e i r wre tched a nd unchristian poor la w —h ow we regret t o h a ve to call it theirs !—is sw e pt awa y b y t h e res i st l ess i n dignation of a Christian people. a OW And now, before we bid f arewe ll t o this go? year—and it merits the term well; for the good, Win e it has brought to us as a nation, outbalances the evil-- let us, in our private capacity, say a few words to 01 , 1 r friends, the C onserva ti ve pu bli c o f t hi s t o Wn: have to thank that Conservative public for a large amount of their. enc ouragement an d su pport, nrili ci tir we trust, we have deserved—in the honesty of ° intentions, at least, if not in their performance. %S accord our thank s s i ncere l y an d grate f u lly ; and sce trust that we shall never b e found, by the desertion of one principle which we have ever advocated, worthy fj . standing lower in th e i r est i mat i on t h an we ar e at th e close of this year, one thousand eight hundred and forty-two.

It appeared that on the 14th of the present ra t n ,, a , Messrs. Moffat and Co. of this town, wholesale t e a deale r had to send to Mr. James Hogg, of Preston, nine half-che sts of tea, which were to be got out of Messrs. Green's we ' rg , house in Manesty-lane, and sent by railway through Mes s , a Hargreave's and Co. Davies, warehouseman, went form cart, cart, and finding Morecroft, (with whom was Makin') North John-street, he engaged it. The cart went to Mario fa lane for the tea, and it was pat into it, each package being„,, good order—the whole weight being, including ropes, "21 i ; 5 cwt. 1 qr. 241 b. Morecroft was not present when it "0 delivered—so at least it appeared. The usual note ' ti c et given for the carriers, and the packages were delivere ere Messrs. Harareaves', ut it appeared that some of them 1/ Ae it then in bad condition ; and, finally, that there was a cle' th e of about 20Ibs. of the article, exclusive of th e ropes, 454c1:ree weight being only 5 cwt. 1 qr. 81b. It w as a b o ut t""..,. o'clock when the tea was deli vere d a t H argreaves ' . Tile ceipt note was there given to M a ki n, an d M arsh was wl him. Soon after four o'clock the cart was seen, with ar, parently nothing in:it, go i ng up T a bl ey.street, across Park . ,0 lane, and into Suffolk- s t ree t. Th e t h ree prisoners were v ll it. It appeared th a t th e return or receipt note for the .„`ed from the cart h a d s t a t e d t h at some of the packages were i n order, but that some erasure h a d taken place to conceal t " . : , fact. The pack ages , t oo , were not delivered at Hargreave;, until much later in the evening than the hour they ought ft , have arrived at.—lt was stated for the prisoner Morecr° that, though the owner of the cart, he was not present's; cognisant of any thing wrong during the transit of the t e be that he had left the cart to be driven by Makin, wh ile went to draw a bill du e t o hi m ; th at h e a f terwar d s wesa 0. gaged to carry a load o f f urn it ure f or a gentleman i n ,„„,- p shaw-street ; that he went to look after his cart, and f° lln 0 , it coming up Tabley-st ree t ; an d t h at h e proceede d to o r , shaw-street, as agreed upo n , b u t, a ft er wa i t i ng an hoer, could not find the gentleman.

Th e l ong s id e wall o f t he warehouse, on the east side of the area of the destract. l l and near Newhall-stre e t ( w hi c h was stan di ng at the ds'"„as our last account), has be en t a k en d own , an d t h e back-Yt, and outbuildings of the h ouses save d i n th at stree t are the posed to view.

The turpen," nn t distillery in the middle is reduced to a ruin. The south fr ee to Greenland-street (close to which were the engine amin o of the distillery) has fallen. The other front, or en s r ,.' o ni Greenland-street, still stands ; but the whole building , p „ - il north to south, is entirely gutted—the roof, floors, , ,: s o materials in the works being consumed—and the wal l s much injured—the mortar being, in all probability, ese, - n at by the heat within and without, that repair appears to i n s of the question. The highly combustible contents ofthe! l e fif vaults under the large yard close by, on the west,- -- c ll , l „,ce turpentine and tar—were all burnt out. The vaults Sh stood, but the arches are in a dangerous state. AlthouL, much of the materials of the warehouses, &c., has bee, o , e 'i n moved, the ruins are still in several parts from ten to fir l ' ey feet in height. A great number of men are employed in be tracting such damaged goods—cotton, co rn , & e ,—as eSQ come at amongst the rubbi s h. M asses o f t h ese are stilV , burning st a te, an d th e w h o l e i s doubtless much damage k low water, &c. The engines are s till emp l oye d . i n keeping mita the smoulde r i ng com b us ti on w h erever i t appears.

D ur i ng even th e h e i g ht of the fits, we observed numbers of them, unwilling to quit their do o f ' ciliary haunts, hovering and fluttering about on the t o p s en the walls, and not unfrequently amidst the smoke, end ;a apparently venturing to tip thei r w i ng s in the flames. Ou f t he by instinct, they we re mos tl y o b serva ble about the top remaining wall of the western or" windward" warehouse; arse even on Wednesday,night, though the whole of their !trig was razed to the ground, they were still performing gir ia ary' ve t over the ruins, or perching on the fragments of walls tha t stood high over the smoking masses, as if in mournful cp 8 ",,,, of war on the destruction of their homes, and debating_ what point th e y s h ou ld migrate in quest of more coug e Tia quarters. Although they paid no rent, and co nsequentlY_! n t not come under the provisions of even " the small tenew!,l act," they seemed to rebel most lustily against so unexp ec and summary an ejectment.
