ortrp. VERSES ADDRESSED TO THE EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE. For the Liverpool Standard. Thou massive pile, that from the ocean's bed, In conscious strength uprear'st thy stately head, The furious winds that o'er creation storm, In vain with ire assail thy stately form ; The raging seas, the lightning's deadly flash, The rushing thunder-bolt, all vainly crash Against-thy rocky sides, thy stormy front, Firm, and unshaken, braves their furious brunt. When murky midnight broods upon the waves, And o'er the sea the headlong tempest raves; Brightly, and blazing burns thy friendly light, 'Midst all the gloom, and horrors of the night; The storm-pressed seaman on his homeward way, Sees, and rejoices at thy warning ray; Long may'st thou stand, amidst the rushing tide, The sailor's friend, his guardian, and his guide. Liverpool, 1842. R. C. A CLAIM IN AN ALLEGORY. BY ELIZABETH B. BARRETT. Grief sate upon a rock and sighed one day— Sighing is all her rest. " Welav;ay, welaway ! ah, welaway !" The river beat the rock, and she her breast— " Ith, welaway ! las me! ah me, ah me !" How sorely sighed she. A Cloud spake out of heaven, softly as rain That falls on water—" Lo, The IN inds have wandered from me—l remain Lone in this skiey waste, and cannot go To lean my whiteness on the mountain blue, Till wanted for more dew. " The Sun hath struck my brain to weary peace, Whereby constrained and pale I spin for him a larger golden fleece Than Jason's—yearning for as full a sail. 0 Grief, when thou hast sighed to thy mind, Give me thy sighs for wind, " And let them carry me adown the west." But Love—who, prostrated, Lay at Grief's foot, his lifted eyes possest Of her full image—answered in her stead : " Now nay, now nay ; she shall not give away What is my own, for my Cloud that flieth ! Where Grief makes moan, Love claim his own — And therefore do I watch here all the day, Eking my life out with the breath she sigheth." LITERARY NOTICES. England in the Nineteenth Century. Lancashire, Northern Division; part 7. London : How and Parsons. The present number contains a description of the country, baronial halls, antiquities, and present condition of the neighbourhood of Blackburn, Chorley, Preston, Lancaster, Fleetwood, &c.; and abounds in interesting descriptions and excellent wood-cuts of the principal objects worthy of notice. In the explanatory pages appended is a mass of highly important statistical information. The Book of British Ballads, Edited by S. C. Hall, Esq. No;, 2 and 3. London: How and Parsons. The spirited publishers of this magnificently illustrated collection of our British ballads have adopted, apparently, the opinion that gems of price should be richly set. To the noble strains of departed chivalry and romance which, res cued from oblivion by the labours of Percy, Ritson, Scott, Motherwell, and others, were familiar to our youth " as household words"—strains which alternately stir the heart "as with a trumpet call"—or steep it in sorrow and " dole" — we have nothing in our modern literature at all comparable. They mingle with all our happiest memories ; they are twined up with all our purest and happiest feelings ; they bring back to us, fresh and near, those days which we have dreamt away in the intoxication of romance, and the forms of those, now scattered through the world's wide waste, who shared with us the delight with which we wove vision after vision of " moving accidents by flood and field"; of helmed knights and veiled ladies, " Giants enchanters and chimaeras dire ;" and we hail with pleasure their collection in a casket worthy, indeed, of pearls so inestimable. We have now before us parts 2 and 3 of this splendid pub lication, and we know not which most to praise—the judge ment and taste displayed by the compiler, Mr. Hall, or the beauty of the typography and illustrations. To each ballad is prefixed two pages of explanatory and antiquarian matter, furnished by Mr. Hall ; and upon each page containing the ballad itself is a wood-cut illustration, beautifully executed ty the best artists which Great Britain can produce. Some of these excel infinitely many of the most finished steel en gravings, and are admirably designed. The work is printed entire upon plate paper, and the typography is not excelled by that of any publication which we have seen. No. 2 contains the continuation of " The Nut Brown Maid," " Kempion," " The Child of Elle," " The Twa Brothers," and a part of " The Blind Beggar;" and No. 3 the remainder of " The Blind Beggar," " Robin Good fellow," " Sir Patrick Spens," " Gil Morice," " Sir Aldin gar," and " Sir Lancelot Du Lake." Amongst the artists employed are—Creswick, Scott, Landells, Vizitelli, Kenny Meadows, E. Corbould, and others of leading talent. Each ballad is to be illustrated by one artist, in order, we pre sume, to insure uniformity of design and execution. As a matter of course, nothing except a very extensive sale can remunerate the spirited publishers for the vast out lay required in the production of such a work ; and for the credit of British art, taste, and we may add national feeling, we trust that their expectations will not be disappointed. Ireland; its Scenery, Character, d l -c. By Mr. and Mrs S. C. Hall. Part 21. London : How and Parsons. This delightful work progresses beautiful as ever in illus tration and description ; and we are ever and anon tempted to exclaim when perusing it—" Fortunate is the land and the people whose beauties and character are delineated by an author and authoress in every way so peculiarly fitted for the task !" The illustrations in the present part are equal to those of any former part ; and that is ample praise. We give, as a specimen of the work itself, the following beautiful sketch, illustrative of the popular Irish superstition of the " Banshee," or Death Fetch : The only daughter of parents of sufficient distinction, in the estimation of the people, to have an attendant spirit, was loved by, and returned the attachment of a youth, her infe rior both in birth and fortune. She was one of those quickly susceptible and gently yielding creatures who, although gifted with warm affection, have probably not the strength to sus tain it " Through grief and through danger, through sorrow and shame." While he was by her side, she felt as though she could have died sooner than have forgotten him ; so she said and thought; and they used to meet stealthily in the moonlight, and before the lark had poised her dewy wings in the morning sun, and exchange vows of everlasting constancy ; believing all they uttered to be the pure and unalterable truth. The girl, at this time, had not been sixteen years in the world, but the young man was four-and-twenty. Irishmen have the repu tation of being qulck at love, and quick at forgetting : it was not so with him. His nature was firm as it was fervent; he would have loved her had she been the poorest girl who watched the sheep upon his native mountain. " I will not wed you against your father's will," he said, "but I will win you and wed you. I will go abroad, Mary ; I will gain a name and come back to you with fame and honour-1 will do this, by God's great grace ; I will be your faithful bus. band in the eyes of heaven, whose stars shine brightly on us now, if you will swear here, kneeling by my side, to wait, free from all other love, till 1 return." The girl sank on her knees and did as he desired; placing her finger against his finger, she slipped on to his a ring, esteemed by her family as one of rare virtue, making him in return promise that if he died or became indifferent to her, or married another, lie should return h er the pledge. `This he readily agreed to do, and th e l overs parted ; Mary exclaiming in the wild anguish of her first sorrow, " Surely, sorely, if he had loved me as I loved him, he would never have proposed this parting. Well, well, he knew I would have flown with him to the world's end." And he did know it ; but her weak and childish nature was unable to appreciate the virtue of the sacrifice he made by tearing himself from the only thing he valued on earth : no taint of selfishness sullied the brightness of his devotion ; he would not submit her to the pangs of self-reproach for having deserted her aged parents ; he would give up all, sooner than subject her to the privations which the bride of a soldier of fortune must have endured. Years rolled on ; six or seven passed away, and no tidings arrived of the absent lover ; as they did pass, the first suspicion that had disturbed her mind gained strength,—" If he had loved me as 1 loved him, h e would never have proposed this part ing." It might be she referred to this feeling as an excuse for the fickleness of her own heart ; for the arguments and entreaties of her family induced her, at lenzth, to listen to the addresses of a wealthy suitor, and, after some reluctance, to agree to espouse him : it is but justice to Mary to state, that this was not until a long ti me a f ter s h e h a d wa i te d, an d waited, with the sickness of a sorrowing heart, for the hoped for return of her lover; there were plenty willing and ready to work upon her doubts of his fidelity, and stories came _ from the " for ei g n parts ' the Iri s h delight to talk of—whis pering that the absent one was untrue to the vows of his early love. said one of the gossiping old neighbours to And so," another—" And so Mary .

" You know the family has a follower, dearie Banshee the rale ould sort; and that's never forgot. that does be afther them is not as strong as she us.ed reof to be long ever ago, though she's strong enough to give the death warning ; it 's as good as six years since Miss Mary's first sweetheart met her for the last time, and I was coming up Vie glen, the same night, from ould Marky Roone's wake ; and I came upon them unawares; and then I kept still. not to disturb them, for she was crying like a new-born babby that had lost its mother; but his words without tears would pierce through stone walls. Well, I saw them put finger to finger, and slip a ring ; an d as thy!, did, and as sure as there s but one star of the thousands looking on us now, the cry came through the air soft and sorrowful—not the wail for present death, but for what would end that way." " Maybe," suggested her companion, " it was for him ! " Fur him !" repeated the narrator, in a tone of deep in dignation. "Why, then, I' m as h amed o f your i gnorance, ye poor craythur ! is it doting ye are woman alive ? What right would the like of him have to the cry of a Banshee ? Graliagh ! indeed—for him " Well, asy, Nelly, there's enough about it; sure I'm not as long in the place as yerself—did ye ever hear it since, agra? " A little softened by this ready acknowledgment of superi ority, the reader of mysterious sounds declared that the evenin' Misther O'Neil and the priest, end the hard man,' and her mother, and all, persuaded bliss Mary to plight a troth—she had no right to plight—that same night the cry was heard more than once about the place, sharper and clearer than before. Who heard it besides she could not tell ; she only knew she heard it, and would swear she did, to her dying hour. " And it was nearer, you say ?" " Nearer and sharper—too near, as some will find ; it can't be for her mother, and if it was for her father, I can't see the sense of its houldinz on when its she that's acting. The first time I heard it, it wound through the air like a . misty cloud creepi n g up a mountain—it was a suit, sor rowful wail; the second time, it was bitter and angry." " And the third time, avourneen; what was it like the third time?" ' " I've not heard it the third time—yet," answered Neily solemnly ; " and I don't care if I'm longer so—that's all. The fine ould families are fading out of the counthry intirely —going away like chaff—and such spirits will have no call to the new people. My father, God rest his soul ! used to , that, from what he knew, he was sure they would sour: quit the counthry. Maybe so ; but anyhow, we'll be lonesome when they go, for it's hard wanting the knowledge that we're cared for by something besides the bare flesh and blood !" " And when will the wedding be, Nelly ; sure a wedding's a God-send these hard times; it's hard if we don't get full and plenty at the bridal of the heiress !" "Ah !" said the other. " To-morrow week, agra! and there'll be heaps of quality in it; besides lashins of people from far and near ; and all the ancient customs kep' up — all ! so it will be worth the going to, these hard times." Although the bride could not be said to give any symptoms of repenting her new betrothment, she took little seeming interest in the proceedings perhaps she had been taunted with the vulgar reproach of old-maidenhood—led to believe it would be wrong for the last of her line to go down unmated to the grave; and this, added to the doubts that had gained strength with years, and the unaccountable fact of her having received no tidings of her former lover, conspired to seal her destiny. It was not the custom at the period to which we refer for the bride and bridegroom to absent themselves immediately after their marriage ; and the wedding was solemnised after the usual Irish fashion—the bride remaining to do the honours and receive the guests ; as was also the practice, at that time, the window-curtains were allowed to remain undrawn, so that the crowd without could feast their eyes on the crowd within, whose movements they observed and com mented on ; and when anything particular pleased them, they testified their sympathy by a wild " hooroo." The two women whose observations we have recorded were also there; their withered faces pressed occasionally against the glass, the more perfectly to observe what was going on ; occasionally they abused those who pressed too closely on them from behind, arid vented their spleen in bitter words and curses. Suddenly, Nelly, whose reputation for fore knowledge had gained her anything but a pleasant popularity, crushed her bony fingers round her ' crony's' arm—' Whist, did ye hear nothin' ? ' " Nothin', dear, but the boys hoorooing, because the bride is making her ' curtshey' to another stranger." " Ye'r a deaf fool! " exclaimed Nelly, throwing the arm from her. The bride had risen to meet a strange guest who, unknown and unannounced, had entered the large parlour where the feast went forward ; without returning her salutation, lie asked her for a drink. She proceeded to do the duties of Irish hospitality, and with her own hands presented to him a goblet of wine ; this lie refused to touch, requesting her to exchange it for water, which, he declared, was his only be verage. She then presented him with the water, which he drank ; but she observed that as he returned the vessel, lie dropped something into it : before she could ascertain what it was, he had disappeared amid the crowd. Ere she replaced the goblet, however, she took from it her own ring ; she knew it well, and instantly ;—it was the same she had given her betrothed, at their parting. No doubt remained on her mind as to her having seen her former lover. She was greatly moved by the circumstance, and yet had sufficient presence of mind to keep it to herself, and the feast went on. After the lapse of about an hour, a woman rushed into the room to seek the priest ; terror was impressed upon her countenance. She said that a stranger who had asked for shelter beneath her roof, and who seemed labouring under strong emotion, had dropped—she feared dead, upon her hearth and that she had come for " the clergy," and advice as to what she was to do. The truth now burst upon the bride. He did, indeed, really and truly love her. Forgetting her ill-advised mar riage, and clinging to the hope that he was yet alive, slit proceeded to the woman's dwelling. As she crossed the threshold of her father's door, although the night was cairn and mild, a fierce and mighty wind rushed round the house; all paused and trembled at the cry—the well-known wail of the Banshee, so full, and then so agonising in its dying fall. " That 's music for false footsteps," muttered Nelly. " Yet, be he dead or living, that wail is not for him." But the bride flew on—the only one of the terror-stricken revellers who did not pause or pray. She flung herself on her knees beside him—pressed her hand on his heart—there was no motion. She called , Jiim by his name—there was no reply ; stooping down, she kissed his lips—there was no return ; then well she knew that he was dead. In the pre sence of her kindred and her husband, she tore the silver riband from her hair, and burst forth into a wild death-cry of her land and name—a mournful keen over the dead body of her lover. The impetuous feelings of her girlhood seemed to have returned with tenfold strength ; and as she uttered the last line, she fell dead upon the body of him who had loved her even unto death. " Her heart," to use the figurative lan guage of her people, " was split asunder." In death was fulfilled the pledge of love. They were laid side by side — the wedding feast furnishing the funeral. Once more, and in a few weeks after this lovers' tragedy, the Banshee cried again : it was for the father of Mary O'Neil—the last of his line in that part of the country, where two trees are still shown as heading the grave of those who " in death were not divided." VARIETIES. THE LITERARY CHARACTER.—Literature is apt to form a dangerous and discontenting pursuit, even for an amateur. but for him whose rank and worldly comfort depend on it, who does not live to write, but writes to live, its difficulties and perils are fearfully increased. Few spectacles are more afflicting than that of such a man, so gifted and so fated, so jostled and tossed to and fro in the rude bustle of life, the buntings of whi;•:! he is so little fitted to endure. Cherish ing, it may be, tile loftiest thoughts, and clogged with the meanest wants : of pure and holy purposes, yet ever driven from the straight path by the pressure of necessity or the im pulse of passion ; thirsting tor glory, and frequently in want of daily bread : hovering between the empyrean of his fancy and the squalid desert of reality; cramped and foiled in his most strenuous exertions, dissatisfied with his best perfor mances, disgusted with his fortune—this man of letters too often spends his weary days in conflicts with obscure misery ; harrassed, chagrined, debased, or maddened—the victim at once of tragedy and farce—the last forlorn outpost in the war of mind against matter. Many are the noble souls that have perished bitterly, with their tasks unfinished, under corrod ing woes! Some in utter famine, like Otway ; some in dark insanity, like Cowper and Collins; some, like Chattertou, have sought out a more stern quietus, and turning their indi gent steps away from a world which refused them welcome, have taken refuge in that strong fortress, where poverty, and cold neglect, and the " thousand natural shocks which flesh is heir to," could not reach them any more.—Carlisle's Life of Schiller. PAPER MONEY.—A humorous illustration of the virtues of a paper currency is the following, from the St. Louis Mound, American paper:—" It seems that a party of gen tlemen were telling their ' experience,' whilst standing in front of the Gas-light Office, when a well-known genius came along, and breaking into the party,' told his story something in this wise Hold your horse,' says he, and if you want to hear the greatest shaving story that you ever did hear, just keep cool. I never have, in all my life, had much money on hand at any one time; but a short time be fore the suspension of specie payments by the Miners' Bank of Dubuque, I had 200 dollars of her bills, and when I heard the news of her failure, I thought she would rise again, so I held on to the money. After a few weeks I saw it was going to ruin, and I determined to get rid of it ; so I took it to a broker's and exchanged it for Cairo, at 30 per cent. discount. This I look on as paying pretty dear for a shave ; but the next thing I heard was that the Cairo Bank had blown up ; and I goes off to a broker instanter, , and off comes 23 per cent. more, an I then I had the product of my speculation in the State B. of Illinois money. Next thing, away goes the State Bank—busted all to pieces, and hang me it' I didn't loose 30 per cent. more in obtaining Shawneetown money ; and then I thought I was safe with what little money I had got—but alas for all worldly affairs !—down goes the Shawneetown Bank—refused to resume—panic raised—and to prevent the broker s f r om s h av i n g me again, I went to a private individual, and gave him all the Shawneetown money I had for 20 dollars in Ohio money, and on offering to pass it I was told that it was counterfeit. And now, whether you believe it or not, I tell you, gentlemen, it is a fact, there is the whole remains of my 200 dollars.' Upon this he pro dubed two ten dollar bills on the Geauga Bank of Paines ville, exclaiming, Yes, them two cursed counterfeit notes on the bank of Geauga are the whole remainder of my money speculation.' " HUMAN SACRIFICE.—From the Indian papers it appears that a race known as the " Khouds" has been considered sufficiently formidable for the government to depute an officer for the express purpose of observing its peculiarities. This officer (Lieut. Macpherson) has published .a regular report of his investigations, the inquiry being set on foot for the ultimate purpose of abolishing the practice of human sacrifice, to which the race is inveterately addicted. These Khouds, it seems, occupy the mountainous region of the Gangam and Cuttack districts. According to their theology, the " Bera Pennoo," or earth-god, holds the pre-eminence among the national deities. The earth having originally been an unstable mass, unfit for cultivation, this earth-god ordered that hu man blood should be spilled before him. The soil then be came firm and productive, and the deity of the Khouds corn- manded the repetition of the sacrifice as necessary to exist ence. Carrying out the principles of this creed, the Khoud thinks that every field must be enriched with human blood when the principal crops are sowed; another oblation of the same kind is required at harvest time and in case of any in cidental calamity, such as an epidemic disorder, an attack of wild beasts, &c., the wrath of the earth-god must be ap. peased by this barbarous sacrifice. The victims are Ilindoos purchased for the purpose, and are treated as sacred persons till their time of immolation comes, when, amid the most elaborate ceremonies, they are torn to pieces, yet living, by the crowd. To stop these barbarous proceedings the govern ment of India feels that it is morally bound, but the means of effecting the desired reformation are not at all obvious, as the Khouds consider the sacrifice as absolutely necessary to their existence, and would struggle hard to maintain it, while they are scattered over so wide an expanse of country, and the climate is so unwholesome, that military occupation would be almost impossible.

Standard-office, Three o'clock. THE FIRE. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE BODIES OF THE THREE MEN WHO PERISHED THROUGH THE FIRE OF FRIDAY.° This day, shortly after eleven o'clock, the inquest on the bodies of the three men, Martin, Smith, and Bell, who came to their death by the fire, (and of which we have furnished the evidence adduced yesterday,) was resumed, before Mr. Curry, with a view, we believe, to a clearer elucidation of the facts as bearing on the cause or origin of the conflagration. Nothing definite was, however, elicited ; but as the evidence, though not taken—with the exception of a small portion of it—upon oath, is interesting, and as the verdict, moreover, goes to exonerate an individual who had previously been deemed culpable of, at least, negligence, we supply an outline of •the principal facts : Catherine Coyle, wife of Bernard Coyle, the watchman employed to look after the several premises in Crompton street, in which the fire first broke out, was called, and in a preliminary investigation (without being sworn) stated some particulars of the occurrences of Friday morning, with rela tion to herself and her husband, which were not afterwards taken on oath, as being irrelevant to the object in view. She supplied, it appeared, a hatchet, thrown from the window of the house, nearly opposite Mr. Peniston's, to the police officers who first came up that morning, and with which they broke open the gate. Mr. Peniston himself was present at the inquiry, and handed to the Coroner ad epistle written on half a sheet of letter paper, apparently in a school-boy hand, which he had received through the post, and, of which the following is a copy verbatim et literate : Malus Bonus Behold Love Reason and Justice lay Beauty for Ashes where The Poor asked Bread but the Rich gave Stones Behold the Cross . Adore the Crow❑ Now Christ casts guilty nations down In blood and fire millions rattle The Devil Bankrupt falls in battle Great Babylon " Beat your ploughs into swords, and your scythes into spears"—Read 3 Joel. Brale tout ELIAS This epistle is superscribed as under : Mr. Penniston, Wood-st. North, Liverpool. (With the postmark 24th Sept., 1842.) A gentleman, Mr. George Wade, appeared in the court, arid requested to be heard in behalf of Mrs. Isaac, as to the origin of the fire, which was readily agreed to by the coroner. He said that he was desirous of removing some obloquy that had attached to Mrs. Isaac, relative to whom a report was current that the fire had originated in her premises. He had, he stated, lived in the immediate neighbourhood for thirty years, and was well acquainted with Mrs. Isaac's premises in Crompton -street. Ile could not throw any light on the im mediate origin of the fire, inasmuch as he did not reach the ground on Friday morning until four o'clock ; but when he got there Mrs. Isaac's buildings were not on fire. Indeed, they were amongst the last in the area in which they were situated to be consumed, after taking fire and burning com paratively slowly. After several inquiries were made by the coroner, and some of the jury, of other parties present, who it was thought would throw some light on the subject, Mr. Inspector John Abraham was sworn and heard. He entered into some details relative to his first seeing the glare of the fire from Vauxhall-road, about five minutes before three o'clock on Friday morning, and proceeding to the spot, where he found several of the police, including Inspector Massey, (before examined.) He saw the fire first in Mr. Peniston's only. He found the door of the fire-grate of the engine boiler, which is a little below the level of the ground, open, as is customary, and even safe, in " gathering" or slacking an engine fire for the night. Every precaution seemed to have been taken as a security from fire from that quarter; the fire was slow when he entered, and he did not think that the materials or buildings had ignited from it. He found a bench or table on tire in a shed on the same premises, and it had communicated to the wooden tarred roof, from which it rapidly spread along the roof of another building, running south, (also on the premises,) as if by a train of tur pentine or gunpowder. He and others got on the roof, to extinguish it, but were obliged, from the head which the fire gained upon them, to come down. Mrs. Isaac's buildings caught tire afterwards, and burned slowly, owing to the direction of the wind, which was then strong at N.W. —they being in some degree protected by the brick building or shed immediately below to the west. He thought the fire had not originated in Mrs. Isaacs's, otherwise he would have seen it there first. He was decidedly of opinion that the fire had originated with the bench, or table, but how, he could not tell. Ile had heard that a chimney in Stewart -street, on the north, had been strongly on tire at nine o'clock on the previous night, and flakes of soot from it, as he supposed, fell in Mr. Peniston's yard after he got there. To a question put he added, that he saw no aperture or opening in the shed where the bench was by which the burning soot from the chimney could have entered. No. 24 police-officer, who had been earlier on the ground, and had seen the watchman Coyle, was called, but could give no information as to the real origin of the fire. The Coroner said that there was no evidence as to the origin before the jury, and after recapitulating the principal points of the evidence as affected the death of the three un fortunate men, and pointing out the technicalities of the se veral verdicts they might return, left the case in their hands. The jury returned a verdict, founded on the evidence, to the effect that the deceased " accidentally" came to their death by injuries received by the falling upon them of part of the warehouse in which they were removing cotton in Nep tune-street ; and that the said warehouse was broken by the falling of another warehouse at the back of it, which was de stroyed by fire ; but how the fire originated there was no evidence to show ; and they appended a clause to their ver dict to the effect that the premises of Mr. Peniston were not wilfully set on fire. The Coroner then remarked that the letter (above) sent to Mr. Peniston was evidently the effusion of a religious enthu siast, and unworthy of notice. It was, moreover, intended probably as an address to the nation at large, and in place of tending to implicate Mr. Peniston, went to support the opi nion of the jury. THIRD EDITION. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE FIRE. The lofty N.W. corner of Rayner's warehouse in Formby street still stands, peering over the centre of the ruins, a sad monument of the surrounding destruction. The Rotunda Tavern (formerly a windmill) was, last night, during the second outbreak of the fire, crowded with persons of both sexes,':whose persons showed in the glare of the flames and lurid smoke from the adjacent masses, which still burned fiercely here and there, as well as from the livelier brilliancy of the premises at the bottom of Crompton-street, like warriors and Amazons on an outer bastion of a fired city, determined on being immolated rather than surrender. The yards and outbuildings of the premises immediately burning in Crompton-street extended southward to within a short distance of the Rotunda, and but for the exertions of the fire-police, the parties within and on the top would have shown " the better part of courage " by an evacuation of their stronghold, which, with other buildings, including a pile of cottages on the east, would certainly have taken fire. We may add that the stable in which the horses were burnt was covered with timber and tarred paper. The fire reached the shed nearer Waterloo-road, formerly belonging to Mr. Maw, which was partly burnt, the flames reaching the premises of Mr. Sixsmith at the lower corner, which, however, escaped. The engines have been busily at work all night and this morning. The fire is much subdued, and is now confined within the boundaries stated, so that no further loss will The Marquis of Londonderry is the only officer in the army, who has the honour to wear the silver medal for the taking of Paris.

Increasing arrivals of Wheat and Oatmeal from Ireland, contain at so early a period of the season, a fair supply of each, with a few parcels of Flour, but of other articles thence, and generally coastwise, the receipts since this day week are trivial ; the imports from abroad, during the same period, comprising merely 4782 qrs. of Wheat, 250 qrs. Beans, 2940 qrs. Indian Corn, and 3881 barrels of F lour. The repeated decline in the value of Wheat in most of the leading markets of the kingdom last week, produced a de pressing effect upon the trade here ; having, however, several buyers down this morning from inland counties, the demand for good descriptions of 'Wheat somewhat revived, and we have to report a fair extent of business in both Irish and Foreign, on the reduced terms of Friday ; but chiefly on country account, our local millers still continuing to buy cautiously ; the few samples of English moving off slowly at a similar abatement. States and Canadian Flour, upon a limited sale, receded again to-day, establishing a reduction of full Is. per barrel from the rates of Tuesday last. English and Irish Flour must also be noted Is. per sack cheaper. Toe transactions in Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, were so extremely difficult to effect, as to render prices little more than nominal to-day. Oats, although still coming forward sparingly, remained dull of sale, at a decline of ld. per 451bs. ; and Oatmeal, upon a very limited inquiry, was offered freely at 2s. per 2-101bs. under the currency of this day se'nnight.

A man named William Knight, dressed in the garb of a labourer, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the previous night. The sitting magistrate offered to remit the penalty he had incurred, adding, however, the reservation that he should promise better conduct in future. When this con dition was made known to the defendant, he immediately re plied, with a determined shake of the head, " I can't make any such promise whatsomever ; I'd rather pay the fine." The magistrate (whose countenance betokened infinite sur prise.)—" What, not make a pledge to save 5s ? Why, I never met with such an instance in the whole course of my experience. Unless, however, you will promise not to be guilty of a repetition of such an offence, I must enforce the penalty." Defendant—" Well, if you must, you must, but I can't promise not to get drunk again ; so here goes (hand ing the money to the sergeant of the court) ; I hope, how ever, you won't catch me here again." DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—On Friday afternoon an inquest was held at the New Bailey prison, Manchester, before Mr. Rutter, the county coroner, touching the death of William Tankard, of Salford. From the evidence ad duced, it appeared that the deceased was imprisoned for one month, for the non-payment of the penalty and costs of an assault, of which he had been convicted before two magis trates at Heap. On Monday, whilst washing his hands, he vas suddenly taken with a shaking and shivering. He was takeninto the hospital, and attended by Mr. Barton Stott, surgeon of the prison, whom he informed that he had been bitten in the hand by a mad dog, about six weeks ago. Mr. Stott ordered a ba s o n of wa ter to be brought ; and lie was convinced from the shock which the deceased experienced by the sight of it, that he was affected with the hydrophobia. Mr. Stott procured the assistance of Mr. Jordan, and they administered seme emetics to the patient, cupped and blistered him, and used every means in their power to afford him some relief. They visited him frequently, and two of Mr. Stott' , pupils remained up with him all . Wednesday night. During that night the patient was perfectly tranquil, and the paroxysms were slight ; but he did not sleep at all. The medicines operated as the physicians wished ; and the patient continued in a composed state till about half-past three, on Thursday afternoon, when he was seized with a violent paroxysms. At four o'clock he was visited by Dr. Hulme arid Mr. Thorpe; Mr. J ordan having previously obtained permission of the magistrates to call them in. Mr. Stott and Mr. Jordan administered more medicine to the patient, after which the attack became less violent. At a quarter past twelve o'clock, on Thursday night, another severe fit came on, and be expi red immediately afterwards. During Wednesday, he took bread soaked in hot water, but could not take it in cold. He also drank (though with great difficulty) ; coffee from a teapot. During some of his se ve r e paroxysms, it required six or eight . men to hold hi m . H e stated before his death, that the .dog that bit him, had a chain and a part of a rope about his neck. He appeared to have broken loose from his owner; i and when the dec eas ed attempted to lay hold of him, he bit him u the hand, a little above the second joint of the thumb. The dog barked after wards at some children in running away from the deceased. The jury returned a verdict of , " Death fro m hyd rop h o bi a, produced by the bite of a dog.'

The market has been quiet, and the sales do not exceed 100 hhds., chiefly Kentucky stemmed. No Virginia of the new import yet sampled.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 23. The dreadful fire, which has devastated more upon Cotton than any other produce, consuming, it is estimated, fully 50,000 bales, has caused an uneven sort of market to-day, many parties refusing, or perhaps being unable, to show their stocks : notwithstanding, 3,000 bales have been sold at the full prices current during the week, and in some in stances a slight advance has been paid. The sales of the week are again only 12,710 bales, principally taken by the trade. COTTON MARKET. SsrrEmßEß 26. The destruction of so much Cotton, (near 60,n00 bales) by fire, has caused a lighter, market, and the advance obtained on all American Cotton, below sd, is fully id 4 , * , lb. The influx of buyers has given the market a more animated appearance, though it is deficient of that buoyancy which usually pervades it when a brisk trade is at the hack 0( it. On Saturday 3500 bales were sold, and to-day fully 4000, all to the. trade. COTTON M A RKET. - WEEKLY REPORT. The market has continued heavy during the week, with no dis. position on the part of the Trade to increase their purchases, not withstanding it is now understood that the operatives have very resumed work. Little change has taken place in prices, except in the lower qualities of Surat. which have declined id per lb. the late arrivals having been offered more freely. A calamatuous fire occurred this morning, by which it has airady been ascertained that nearly 40,000 bales of:different descriptions of Cotton have been destroyed; but until the actual extent of the loss is known, no deduction is made from the estimated stock. Exporters have taken 200 American and 200 Surat. There will be offered by auction on Friday the 30th, 1000 Sea Island, 500 Stained do. and 150 West India.

The Butter market has become very animated, and prices of all deseriptions may be noted full 2s per cwt. dearer. Prime Belfast 83s to 84s; Carlow and Kilkenny 83s to s' s ; Bainbridge, Newry, &c. 78s to SI s. We notice considerable activity among speculators ; principally, however, in free on board purchases. The demand for pickled Butter has improved, and the currency is steady at 745. The provision curers have at length broke ground, and offer to put prime Mess Beef on board at 87s Oci to 925 , 6 d. India at Ks 6d to I,i2s 6d per tierce. Hitherto, however, they have been met very shyly in this market. For Provisils now cn the spot the demand is very slack, Beef at I oOs to 102 s 6( per tierce. Pork at 48s to 55s per barrel,—there is a great difficuly. however, in arriving at a correct quotation, particularly the laiter. Bacon is better request, and may be fairly represented as worth 45s to 47s for the best article. • tkB C URRENT. MADI)NR, 44 , cut. S. d. s. d.

The duty upon Colonial Wheat and Flour, having again fur ther advanced, is now at the highest point prescribed by the existing Corn Act, viz., ss. per quarter, and 3s. per barrel, respectively; upon Foreign Wheat also it is raised to 18s., on Oats to Bs. per quarter, and on Flour to 10s. 10d. per barrel, being a virtual prohibition of their release for home consumption. The general imports of the past three days are extremely light; notwithstanding, we have continued to experience a heavy sale for all articles of the trade in the interval from Tuesday last, though at no perceptible difference from the currency of that day. Having no lively reports from London or other markets to animate the trade here, and the millers beginning to receive rather better supplies of new Wheat direct from the growers enable them to proceed with a less portion of old. At our Corn Exchange this morning, therefore, all descrip tions of Foreign seemed to he nearly without deniand, receding in value at least Id. to 2d., and Irish new 3d. to 4d.. in some instances Gd. per 701135. below the current rates of Tuesday ; whilst English new, although very few samples appeared, was decidedly cheaper. States and Canadian Flour, upon a very limited inquiry, was Gd. per barrel lower ; but English and Irish, being !scarce, remained at late prices. Of Malting Barley we have no supply ; meantime Grind ing qualities continue in slow request, on the terms last noted. Malt, Beans, and Pease exceedingly dull, and each Is. per quarter cheaper. Oats were. taken off very sparingly, at our last quotations ; and Oatmeal, attended with 'a slow, lingering sale, declined Is. per 2401b5. LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, SEPT. 23. PAANNERSIIIPS DISSOLVED.
