Liverpool, 20th Sept. 1843 N 0 1' I C E.' The Cambrian Mirror; or, A New Tourist Companion thr ill North Wales. By Edward Parry, Chester. Prii;a Three Shillings bound in cloth. Grapel, &c., Liverpool This . little work is the production of a patriot, who writes con amore on every subject. The author's whole life has been engaged in promoting the interests and lite rature of the principality. As a collector of Welsh manuscripts and old editions of Wel.ll books. he has been led to exr , lrire the most recluse and Is frequented parts of the * --n division of that count y; and having studied the t. i of the people, and being a great admirer of their chivalrous fame and poetic genius, as well as a com plete master of their language, we know of no individual more competent to present the Cambrian tourist with a guide. The work is replete with interest. It contains short sketches on a vs. v ,riety of topics. written in a style so homely, and a.' - same time so full of point and ♦ivacity, that the r, - rrivea at the c10,.e of each with deep regret that the sui,ject is so suddenly dropped. Tne traveller on his tour, with this guide in his hand, will, on consulting its pages, find in them a description of whatever object he may have occa-ion to examine or admire, so graphic and so brief as to render his cursory view of things highly instructive without retarding his progress. In addition to this, routes of various lengths from three to fourteen days, with the respective distances between places on the whole line, are laid down, accompanied by a-map of North Wales. We venture to recommend tie work to the notice of the public as the best tourist com panion through that land of primitive characteristics and sublime scenery that has ever yet issued from the press. SELECTIONS SAM ARIA.—On entering this interesting town, notwith standing I was in the oriental cosume, which I appre hended would afford a sufficient disguise, yet I was recog nised as a Chrivian, followed by a crowd, receiving nume rous marks of insult; was spit upon, hooted at, and used despitefully by many of them, who " wagged the r heads" and gnashed their teeth in rage—marks of great indig nity in the east ; but, aware that any resistance was in vain, I endured these insults with all possible patience.— Rae Wilson's Journey in Judea, Samaria, and Galilee. WARREN HASTINGS' FEELINGS OF CONTENTMENT UNDER W RUNG. —The writer of these reflections is him self one who is content with the state in which it has pleased God to place him ; he would not exchange it, with idt4 Wle PC.

He has known what it is to extend his sensibility to external attachments, to suffer for the sufferings of those who were dear to him, and to feel the stroke of death, that cut off " his fairest hopes of sublunary bliss." He has toiled for the means of temporal enjoyments, which, when at tained, have faded into indifference, and has been visited by griefs which use has accommodated to his -nature. And in tliis review of his destiny he believes that be sees the general allotment of all the human race.—Fraser's Magazine. IRISH SOLDIERS IN THE LEGION. — There are no where to be found more amusing fellows than Irish sol diers, full as they all are of quaint humour and smart re partee. " I have heard many droll traits and stories of the Irish soldiery under Evans. On the 16th of March, '37, when the Queen's troops were in full retreat, my squadron was formed up on the road Hernani, occasion ally charging down when the opportunity presented itself, in order to cover the retreat. Up came an Irish infantry, who, although following the example pretty generally giuen him, and retreating, still seemed to do it a contre contr. and kept up a sort of running fight on his own ac count, perfec'ly independent of anybody else in the world. The fellow • steaming from what - appeared to be a mix ture of ne it and fury, and his face was as red as Dan O'Connell's after a few hour's speech to the finest ifisen thry. His lips am i cheeks were black with biting car tridges. 'Be said he, thumping his musket-butt down to the ground, and wiping his face with a rag he took out of his shako, Be —! and they call John Car los a pretendher! What a devil of a fellow he'd be if be was in airnest.' "—New Monthly Magazine. DRINIC.—There is no axiom of health more just than that " men never have a true appetite till they can eat with relish any ordinary food." It is told of John Bailes, who lived to the age of 128, that his food for the most part consisted of brown bread and cheese, and his drink water and milk. He had buried the whole town of North ampton twenty times over, excepting three or four, and said strong drink killed them all. Water manifestly is the natural beverage of all animals ; whole nations, as the Mahometans and Hindoos, use it alone as beverage, and, unlike other drink, it does not sate the appetite, but the contrary ; indeed, it was observed by Hippocrates, above two thousand years 820, that water drinkers have gene rally keen appetites. It is a fluid that requires no diges tion, for it is not necessary that he should undergo any dirges ; it is the natural menstruum which holds in so lution both what is essential for the nutrition and healthy functions of the body, and what has become refuse after haling served its destined o ffi ce and intention in the animal economy. What, therefore, from its con genial qualities can never much disturb the system ; and when it does, it is speedily expelled by its natural outlets, the skin arid kidneys. It is told of Lord Heathfield, so well known for his hardy habits of mili tary discipline and watchfulness, that i " his food was ve getables and his drink water , never n indulging himself in animal food or wine ;" and Sir John Sinclair, in his work on longevity, says, in his account of Mary Campbell, then aged 105, that " she prefers pure water to any other drink." The great captain of the age is remarkable for his temperats and regular habits, his early rising, the strength and clearness of his intellect, and his good health, notwithstanding his advanced age.—Dr. Hume Weather head. A STRIKING MOMENT.—And that was a striking mo ment, too, in the life of our gracicus and graceful Sove reign, when , casting her eyes back on the placid waters, on which were to be seen the St. Vincent, the Caledonia, the Camperdown, the Formidable, the Warspite, the Grecian, the Cyclops, the Tartarus, and the Prometheus, she cook. point the Kiog of the French to the " wooden walls of old England," but, at the same time throw her self, her consort, and her retinue, into the arms of the French monarch, of his admirable family, and of his courteous and admirable people; and with the lightness and freshness of youth and of hope, tread with delight the shores of that Normandy, endeared to all lovers of his tory by so many glorious and interesting recollections. " God save the Queen !"—Yes !—" God save the Queen !" were the first notes which greeted her as she landed in France. These notes she knew right well. Often had they been played and sung in her hearing ! Often had they called forth in her presence expressions of the most devoted loyalty ! But it was a happy thought—it was a joyous mode of welcome—to greet her in a stranger land with the first song of her childhood, the old national an them of her native shores. Oh ! how her young heart must have beat with joy when, calling to recollection the bistory of past days, and remembering the long and san guinary wars of other times between the French and the British empires, she now beheld the rival flags no longer rivals, floating in peace and friendship in the same breeze, and herself the bearer of a macician's wand, for she car ried with her the emblems of respect, .confidence, and amity.

The report i the Chronicle is healed " Another Glorious Triumph the League." The writer then goes on to charge di lan Ilordss of Cheshire with intimidating their tenants to prevent them from attending the meeting, and then ob- " Instead of the failure which had been predicted, one of the largest assernhages ever ..een in this part of the country had collected before eleven o'clock." _ _ Now if this be um, one thing is quite clear, that the leaguers are making but little progress "in this part of the country," as will he seen from the following extract from the Manchester Guardian, a paper whi h, though under the influence of the league, has still some little regard for truth lei The Guardian says : The hour previously fixed for the meeting was ten o'clock, but owin ,-, to the difficulty of reachiC KilUtSfOld from the railway by that hour, it was af - r ei, a o'clock before the proceedings commenced. Though the morn ing had been fine, the clouds by that time had began to lower and threaten rain, and it was obvious that a hea ,y ld fall ere long. Notwithstanding this, a concourse of upwards of 1,100 persons, including many farmers, but not nearly so many as might have been ex pected, for reasons hinted at by the speakers, and a con siderable number ,f farm labourers and respectable in habitants of the district, assembled on the race-course." Well, if this meeting of " 1,100 persons" be " one of the largest assemblages ever seen in this part of the country," surely Sir James Graham has nothing to fear from the excitement in the north, which is got up by Messrs. Cobden and Bright, the chief itinerant lecturers of the league. The Chronicle then gives a list of the names of several " extensive lanlowners" who appeared on the hustings. This statement is utterly without foun 7 dation, there having been not a single landowner in the county who took any part whatever in the proceedings, with the single exception of the chairman. 'This fact is proved by the chairman himself, who in the course of his opening speech said, " I see no one present of the same class as myself, and doubtless I shall be considered by some a very weak and foolish man for advocating the doctrine I do." Mr. Bright also observed, "If the land lords had truth and justice on their side, and if they were desirous only to see truth and justice prevail, would they not have invited discussion ? Would they not have urged their tenants to attend this meeting and hear the state ments that were to be made ? The farmers, however, might have been kept away; but there was the means of reading, and the speeches would be taken down and a copy would be sent to every farmer's house within the next ten days." These and many similar observations dropped during the meeting, which must convince the reader that the meeting was a complete failure, as all such meetings must ever be where the true character of the men and their objects are fully understood. shower we A similar " detno;stration" took place on the previ ous Saturday at Lancaster, but, accrrding to the advices we have rereived, it was, if possible, more contemptible than the Knutsford affair. THE GOVERNMENT AND AGRICULTUR E Sir Robert Peel's speech at the annual meeting of the Lichfield Agricultural Association, affords an index to the feelings with which it may fairly be supposed he will introduce the attempt promised on the part of Govern ment to amend the law between the Irish landlord and tenant, and, whilst it gives a valuable illustration of the character of the eminent individual himself, practically enforces a most important point, which, to the utmost of our ability, we have recommended to the attention of the landowners of the sister country ; we quote that part of the right hon. baronet's address to which we more par ticularly refer : " Politics, gentlemen—that is to say, politics that in any way partake of a party character— are wisely ex cluded from our proceedings ; but it would be absurd to exclude that great and comprehensive policy which must see in the success of British agriculture one of the great foundations of national strength and national prosperity —(hear); and again I repe,.t, that neither this country nor any other can present a more gratifying sight to the true patriot—to him who is interested in the maintenance of the national greatness and the honour of England— than a well- 2ultivated rura , district, in which harmony subsists bets, een the landlord, the tenant, and the farm labourer. (Hear.) Now it is supposed by some that it is necessary to complete success in agriculture that the occupying tenant should have a more permanent interest in the, land than that which he can have where the du ration of tenancy is only from year to year. If that be so, I must say that I think it would be of the greatest importance to the landed proprietor fully to consider the _e vy. orrn.lnonf i0n42.42 an.i on f facilitate and promote the better cultivation of the soil.' Whatever may be the custom of the particular part of the country the landlord's property may be in it is his interest to give the tenant that more p •rmanent interest, if by so doing he would promote the better cultivation of his estate. Upon that view of the subject, looking beyond the mere nirrow view of his own immediate interest, and looking to the interest of his children and his remote posterity— unless, in fact, he were to take the most selfish view of his position, it must obvionQly be the interest of the t that more permanent tenancy. (Hear, hear.} Much depends upon the custom of the country. In the north of Ireland, and in some parts of Scotland, no tenant can be fonnd who would expend his capital on a farm unless he had the benefit of a lease. That prac tice does not prevail in this part of the country ; but I hope that a feeling of reciprocal confidence between the landlord and tenant has more the effect of giving the same feeling of security to the latter than the leasing system gives in Scotland. (Hear, hear.) I believe, in fact, that where the practice of tenancy at will exists, there exists also an almost universal feeling of re ciprocal confidence between landlord and tenant. But at the same time I do not hesitate to say, though I have not a single lease on my estate, because it is not the custom there, that if any tenant qf mine did say to me that he would feel his rharaeer exalted by having a greater permanen , u of tenure, that it would induce in him a greater disposition to embark his capital in cultiva tion, or that It would be snore agreeable to him to have that permanency of tenure which a lease would give, I should hesitate very long before I declined to accede to his proposition—(cheers): and, therefore, I state pub licly, that if any tenant of mine signes to me that he wants that guarantee of his full enjoyment of the benefits that may arise from the employment of his capital, which a lease would give in preference to tenancy from year to year, on that representation being made to me I should be very much disposed to accede to his wishes. (Cheers.) At the same time, from the course which is generally pursued in this part of the country—from the feeling of security which the farmer has, that advantage will not be taken by his landlord of the expenditure of his capi tal—for these reasons I do not think it likely that any such application would be made—(hear); and I need not say that I should rejoice to find that such a feeling of confidence existed ; but, on the other hand, I should be perfectly ready to accede to the application if it were made. (Hear, hear.) Of this, however, lam confi dent, that unless there be that feeling of reliance on the part of the tenant, either by a lease, or by a full confidence in the generosity of the landlord, a full assurance in some way or other, either legally or morally, that advantage will not be taken of his improve ments, that neither political dyferences nor any other cause will be Wowed to disentitle him to the benefits de rivable from the capital he may expend—l am certain, I say, that unless this condition be complied with, agricul ture will not make that progress which I consider to be essential to the best interests of the country." (Cheers.) The humane, thoughtful, and prudent speaker might have added, and, doubtless, would but for the wise ex clusion of politics from our agricultural meetings, that it was not only impossible that agriculture should make the desired progress, hut impossible that those portions of the United Kingdom should enjoy ease and quiet, and be undisturbed by agrarian outrage, so long as th e o ccupiers of the soil shall remain, or shall believe them selves to remain, without that just protection for their labour and enterprise which the law ought to secure to every man. This plain speaking of the Premier will, we trust, be the signal to the Earl of Roden, the Marquis of Londonderry, and the patriotic noblemen and gentle men who have anticipated him by their admirable mani festo—for so it may be called—on the same subject, to renewed efforts to bring to a common agreement and understanding the whole body of the Protestant land owners of Ireland. SERIOUS RIOT.—A most disgraceful riot took place at Rosskeen Church on Tuesday, the day fixed by the pres bytery for the settlement of the Rev. J. Mackenzie in the pariah of Roskeen. The members of the presbytery were proceeding to the church, when on arriving at the bridge they found a large mob of people, to the number of be tween two and three hundred, armed with bludgeons, who assailed them with the most gross expressions, and as they advanced towards the church, the crowd closed upon them, menacing them with personal violence if they at tempted to enter the church-yard. The vociferation and uproar of the mob was most alarming. The men bran dished their sticks, and several women with shearing hooks, while all uttered the most ruffianly language and abuse. Air. Mackenzie endeavoured rn appease the cla morous mob, but they got more tut( 'Pawns. and finding all remonstrance unavailing, he and iv , friends proceeded kt this time they were as- rrds to Lower Kineraig 1 th the most opprobriou hey escaped lasting In. continued outside at mickieht the bratiug their b 711;;; ;et a ringing', with the vet lawless triumph.—Rosr•ehire Pape THF, LIVERPOI GENERAL MISCELLANY )al Oatlands t merl his establishment Burford Hall, Cobham NATIONAL SOCIETY'S FUND.—This fund lois now reached £11)5,479 is. Bd.. b , ing contributed by 1188 donors of £5O and upwards, and 4357 of sums under £5O. THE TEA TRADE, SEPT. 25.—The non-arrival of the overland mail causes the mareet to rule very quiet. The deliveries last week fell off rather, being 410.7501 b. A quantity of the caoatchouc floor-cloth has been sup plied to the royal yacht, to deaden the sound on the decks over her Majesty's head. Amongst the list of persons against whom proclama tion of outlawry was made at Red Lion-square, Load )11, on Thursday, we find the name of Thomas Steele. ADVANCS OF WAGES.—We understand that Mr. J. Lord, David -street, has advanced the wages of his weavers this week twelve per cent.—Manchester Guardian. There are at this time apple trees in full bloom in the gardens of Mr. James Dalzell and Mr. S. Donaldson, of Ulverston. HON. A/LULU:IVY COMPANY.—The Court of Assist ants of this ancient regiment has received a new warrant with her Majesty's sign manual, appointing his loyal Highness Prince Albert Captain-General and Colonel. At Mold, Wm. Askew, an old man, aged sixty-four years, has been held to bail for an attempt to commit a rape on a child only nine years of age. The prisoner ab bconded to Liverpool about three months ago. We have been informed that a declaration twainst the Repeal agitation is in progress of signature among a por. turn of the Roman Catholic population in this island.— Achill Herald. Sir Thomas Wilde's name has been expunged from the registration list of the city of London, the place of resi dence of the hon. member not having ')een satisfactorily proved. The London Morning Chronicle, a radical paper, an nounces that trade has continued to improve rapidly since the end of the first year of Sir R. Peel's accession to office. SIGN OF THE TIMES.—The Gazette of Tuesday last contains the names of six bankrupts, five of whom are linen drapers and tailors, and the sixth a licensed victual ler. The Gaulle of Friday contains the official notice of a vacancy in the representation for the city of London, having occurred by the death of Sir M. Wood. The writ is to be issued on the 12th October. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths in the metropolis during the week ending the 23d instant amounted to 983. which is 135 above the weekly average of the last five summers. PROGRESS OF POPERY.—The number of priests in the London district, in the year 1836, was 91 ; the number in 1843 is 135; giving an increase in seven years of 44. Tablet. CAUTION TO BROKERS AND °TREAS.-011 Thursday last, Misses Agnes and Betty Jacks, brokers, Brechin, were fined £l5 10s. for purchasing part of the dress of a deserter from the 92d Regiment. The Napoleon, French screw steamer (one of those which accompanied her Majesty to Brighton), has a three thread screw, and has made as much as thirteen knots per hour, and succeeds well. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—This Theatre opened on the 2d of October, at the following reduced prices of admission :—Dress boxes, ss. ; second and third tiers, 3s. 6d.; pit, 2s. 6d. ; and gallery, ls. Last week. as one of the clerks in the Huddersfield post-office was stamping the letters for delivery, one of the letters, containing a quantity of lucifer matches, ex ploded, and set the letter on fire. STREET SWFEPING MACHlNE.—AlTangeßlentd are now completed by the city auti critics in London, by which the streets and principal thorughfares of the city will be cleaned in future by this expeditious and effective process. John Briton, alias Barton, who for many years past has carried on an extensive bus'ne,s as a horse dealer, at Langton, Leicestershire, has been arrested on a ell, rge of highway robbery, committed sixteen years :ago, for which one of his alleged companions was executed. THE MISSING OVERLAND MAIL.—The Standard of Tuesday says—We learn from Alexandria, that nothing has' been heard of the overland mail from India, and that grave apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the steamer which c , nveyed it. HIGH WAGES.—It is stated that so far did the demand for labour in southern Lincolnshire exceed the supply during the harvest, that the reapers in some instances demanded and obtained the enormous price of 7s. 6d. a day each.--Leeds Mercury. Arrangements are now in active progress for holding a grand meeting of the archers of Great Britain, at York, in August next; when it is proposed that a gold cup, value one hundred guineas, and several other prises of proportional value, shall be shot for. A company is established for conveying persons from London to Paris and back, for twenty guineas, which will include travelling expenses, board and lodging at first rate hotels, amusements, fifteen visits to the theatres, trips by railroad to Versailles, St. Germain, &c. A DROPPED NOTE.—Lately the boots at the Royal Hotel, Chester, was entrusted with a £5O note to get changed. In assisting a female to get off a coach he dropped it and did not discover the loss for some minntes. slplz ; fee. ti Ucyl cellor Kaikes at the time, who returned it to the loser. WARNING TO DRUNKEN PARENTS.—OR Sabbath morning last a tailor named Helmsley, and his wife, resi. ding in St. Mary's Wynd, London, while in a state of intoxication, struck or let fell upon the head a fine child, about six months old, by which means it was deprived of life. A number of Shetland ponies were landed at Sunder land lately, Mr. Robert French being the importer. The ponies are very fine animals, and it is understood are principally to be employed in collieries, to supersede the heavy labour of young boys in conveying the corve► along the tram ways In low workings. It has been given in evidence before a committee of the house of commons, that no less a sum than one thousand millions annually, is exchanged by twenty-eight of the principal London bankers, at the clearing room ; and that all the gold and silver required to effect this enormous exchange, is about £2O a day. Princes Leon and Basle Kotschoubey arrived at Mi vart's Hotel, on Monday evening, from Paris. The object the princes have in visiting this country is, the col lection of the most improved agricultural implements in general use in this country, to be exported for the im provement of their extensive estates in Russia. Two paupers, bearing, strange to say, the illustrious names of John Milton and Walter Scott, were brought up from the Strand Union Workhouse, charged with re fusing to perform the allotted quantity of work required of them. The offence being proved, they were sent to prison for fourteen days.—What's in a name ? The shareholders in the Newcastle and Shields Steam packet Company, which was formed in 1838, with a capital of £6900 in 690 ten pound shares, have recently been called upon, after the total loss of their capital, for the further sum of £1 3s. per share, to meet the remaining liabilities of the company ! The rapacious Anti-Corn-law League announced, at their meeting in Drury-lane, last week, their demand of £lOO,OOO, and promise that that sum shall stop their mouths for the future. The £50,000 already abstracted from their dupes has been expended, and how, may be seen from a paragraph elsewhere. RUNAWAY HUSBANDS.—Within the last fortnight the board of guardians of St. Marylebone parish have pub licly offered a reward of two guineas each for the appre hension of no fewer than seventeen fathers of families who have deserted their wives and children. More than one hundred individuals have thus become chargeable to Marylebone parish.—London paper. THE YIELD OF WHEAT.—We continue to hear com plaints of the yield of wheat this season. In one case a party bought a quantity of standing wheat for £39. and after he had been at the expense of cutting. carrying, threshing &c., he obtained 32 bags, for which he will probably get something under £3O, thus losing £9 in cash, and all his labour by the bargain.— Wm enter paper, SHIPMENT OF HORSES.—On Tuesday last, the very handsome and valuable thorough-bred horse " Mundig " was shipped on board the Leeds steam -ship for Hamburg, being intended for the King of Prussia. The above horse won the Derby stakes in 1834, and is half-brother to Cotherstone, the second horse at the , last .Doncaster St. Leger. NUMBER Or FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS DURING THE Vb. - KER.—From three o'clock on Sunday week to the same hour on Sunday last, inclusive, the number of fires in the metropolis have been as follows :—Sunday, 2 ; Monday, 2 ; Tuesday, 2 ; Wednesday, 4 ; Thursday, 2 ; Friday, 3 ; Saturday, 6 ; Sunday, I—total, 22. Being a decrease of 13 on the week preceding. POINT OF ETIQUETTE.—WHAT IS AN ESQUIRE ? On Saturday the magistrates in petty sessions at Ken sington decided that gentlemen acting as commissioners of land-tax did not hold offices of trust under the Crown, and were not entitled to rank as esquires, or to sit on special juries. They gave the same judgement with regard to captains of volunteer regiments. The great difference which sometimes occurs in con tractors' estimates for particular works has been strongly illustrated in those sent in for improving the Caledonian Canal. The tenders were four in number, namely, £134.000, £136,000, £223,000, and £230,000. The £136,000 tender was accepted. The engineer's estimate was £137,000. CRANSORNE CHASE.—The nuts are in great abun dance here this season, and prove a golden harvest for the poor, who assemble in search of them daily in hun dreds ; parties of them come from great distances, and are known to tent here for days. There are also large pic-nic parties in the Chase, in consequence of the conti nued fine weather.—Dorselshire Paper. Three are three Candidates for the office of Lord Mayor of London : Ald. Thos. Wood, who was passed by last year, Ald. Magnay, and Ald. Gibbs. It is generally ex pected that the cboice will fall upon Ald. Mngnay, and indeed there seems little doubt of it, as that gentleman is considerably a-head on the poll, and the voting is only continued proforma' in compliance with the act. THE ALOERMANIC GOWN OF CRIPPLEGATE.—SeveraI gentlemen are talked of for the aldermanic gown of the ❑nited wards of Cripplegate Withmit and Within, vacant by the lamented death of Sir M. Wood, Bait. Among the most prominent of these are Mr. John Dillon. of the firm of Morrison, Dillon, and Co,; and Mr, Thomas Challis. Mr. W. Martin, the natural philosopher, to whom the public are almost weekly indebted for some wonderful dis covery, has just added to his stock of inventions a new life-boat ; an ingenious model of which he has constructed for the purpose of submitting it to inspection. The pecu. liarities of Mr. Martin's boats are-Ist, it has two rud ders; 2d, it is much broader than other boats; 3d, it is rowed by paddles instead of oars ; and, 4th, the water cannot lodge in it so as to diminish its buoyancy.—New castle Cots, ant. We beg to inform Mr. O'Connell, that though we have not been such blockheads as to " buy his book," we have examined his reference to the tbird page of Fyne, Mory pudent fraud. There is nut a word about Mullaghmast, or any thine like Mullaghmast in that or any other page of Fyues Moryson's History. Thus much for the day; but we have not done with the subject.—Standard. MULLET TAKEN WITH THE FLY.—Wbile Robert Miller, fly-dresser, High-street, was fishing with white fly, last night, foa lithe, off the South-quay, he hooked and handed a fine mullet about 31b. weight. The inci dent is, we believe, un p r ec e d en t e d, a t l eas t i n th e expe rience of anglers in this quarter, who have never known the fish to rise either to fly or bait, or to be otherwise killed than by the gun or with nets.—Ayr Advertiser. SERIOUS DEFALCATION BY A CASHIER.—On Wed nesday, Richard Powell, cashier to Mt. Etkanah Armi tage, absconded from his employ, and soon after a defal cation in his accounts, to the serious amount of £1,500, was discovered. It is supposed that he went to Liver pool, taking his wife with him. The police have ob tained some clue to his hiding place, but we believe he has not yet been apprehended.—Manchester Courier. A WHOLE CREW SAVED BY MR. CARTE'S LIFE Buoy.—The be ig Victoria sailed from Dundee on the 26th Pugust, and was wrecked in the Cattegat on the 4th inst. The crew were saved by means of the life boy. The ow ner of this vessel was rather reluctant to incur the ex pense of this simple instrument of safety, but has since declared that no ship that he has any connexion with shall sail without one. REPRESENTATION OF LONDON.—The city Whig-radi cals, for reasons not stated, appear to have suddenly given up the idea of starting Lord Morpeth, and now speak of bringing forward Mr. Pattison, who has already filled the post of city member. The requisition to Mr. Baring we understand is likely to be influentially and very numerously signed ; and of course no time will be lost in presenting it. Much depends upon being early in the field. A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.—Mr. O'Connor recommends Dr. M'Douall as a fit and proper person to be a member of parliament, while the Rev. Mr. Hill says that Mr. O'Connor's embryo M.P. should hang himself on the first tree that presents itself, as be is an idle good for-notbing demagogue, who by his firebrand speeches puts into a halter the necks of his dupes, while he keeps himself out of danger. In the market for metals prices do not materially ad vance, nor is there much real improvement in the iron districts of South Wales, where bar iron is only saleable on a limited scale at £4 12s. Gd. to £4 15s. per ton. In the Clyde pig iron is at the low price of 455., and in Wales at 70s. to 755. per ton. British copper is dull at £7B to £79 per ton ; and English tin at 595., and Banca at 58s. per cwt.—Birmingham Herald. The commissioners of excise have issued an order that the officers in each particular division and ride do call upon the respective surgeons, apothecaries, chemists and druggists, and inform them that the retailing of spirits of wine in small quantities, without license, subjects each of them to £5O penalties, and that if any cases be discovered where such practises are continued after this caution, they are to be stated to the board for prosecution. AN OLD PAIR OF STOCKINGS.—A gentleman who dined last week in the county hall, Hamilton, on occa sion of the festivities in honour of the Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale and his young bride the Princess Marie of Baden, wore the identical pair of white silk stockings throughout the day, in which he danced some three dozen years ago, at a party given by the then factor of his grace, in celebration of the marriage of the present Duke and Duchess of Hamilton. SEIZURE UNDER THE INCONIE-TAX.---MT. Thomas Fielden, brother of the M.P. of that name, has allowed his goods to be sold rather than pay the amount claimed by the commissioners. It appears the three years fixed upon were most diastrous to the firm in which Mr. Fiel den is a partner; and, although such was stated and sworn to, the commissioner assessed him in such a sum that was refused to be paid. Some bay and a horse were sold.— Observer. A corporal of the 59th Regiment, named Henry Donelly, was accidentally shot in BrJmpton Barracks on Saturday while at dinner, by another corporal, named Thomas Lawrie. The deceased had, on his return from Maid stone gaol with a prisoner, forgotten to draw the charge in his musket, and on Lawrie entering the barrack •room, he took it up, not thinking it was loaded, when it went off and shot him. The two corporals were intimate friends. —Globe. BEES AND HONEY.--After all the abundance with which the country has been blessed, we find that, owing to the long continuance of wet weather and the absence of sunshine in the early part of the summer, the natural industry of the bee has been retarded, and great com plaints are made by poor cottagers, who depend on the productions of this industrious little insect for the pay ment of their rent. The quantity of honey this year is not one-half so much as last. APPROACH OF REBECCA TO THE NORTH.--OH Tues day evening last, whilst a number of the Rev. M r. Clarke's allotment tenants, between thit ty and forty, were regaling themselves with punch and a little music, after their annual rent supper, Rebecca, with a number of her daughters in her train, all attired in fantastic dresses, partly male and partly female, to the great merriment of the company, entered the room, and performed a peculiar sort of dance expresoive of their vocation..—• Purharn Advertiser, RFPRESENTATION OF LONDON.—At the last election for the city of London each of the eieht candidates pulled upwards of 6000 votes, the highest number, for Mr. Master man, being 6339, and the lowest, for Mr. Alderman Pirie, being 6017. So closely contested an election for the city never before occurred, and most probably will never take place again. At that election the registered voters amounted to 19,061, viz., free liverymen, 4500, and £lO householders 14,564. The votes were recorded for the several candidates as follows :—Mr. John Masterman, 6339; Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., 6315; Mr. George Lyall, 6.290 ; Lord John Russell, 6,221 ; Mr. Wolverley Attwood, 6,212; Mr. James Pattison, 6,070; Mr. Wm. Crawford, 6,065 ; and Mr. Alderman Pirie. 6,017. FRACAS ON THE MANCH ESTER 'CHANGE.—A personal collision occurred on Tuesday on 'Change, at Manchester, which. from the publicity of the place, and the crowded state of the room at the time, being during the hour of " high change," etcited considerrble attention. The origin of the fracas was a dispute about a horse-cloth. One gentleman having sold another a horse, complains that the buyer never returned the cloth sent with the animal to the buyer's stable. The buyer has been for some weeks on the continent, and we believe the parties now met for the first time since his return. After some words had passed between them on the subject in dispute, the seller is said to have applied some personally offensive epithet to the buyer, who immediately retorted by striking him several blows, which, we believe, were not returned ; and there the matter ended. MARVELLOUS CHANGE TN FORTUNE.—Tins ANGELL ESTATES.—The celebrated claim to these immense estates which has occupied the attention of the legal profession and the public for so many years past in various parts of the kingdom, was decided in this ejectment case, before Lord Chief Justice Tindal and a special jury at Croyden assizes on the 16th ult., after a trial of two days continu ance, by a verdict for the plaintiff William Angell ; thus establishing the heirship and claim of this once poor man to the estates in Sus.ex, Surrey, and Kent. formerly of Wm. Angell, the first purchaser of Crowhurst, in Surrey, of the value of upwards of a million of money. Some lighthouses, part of the property, were lately sold to the Trinity House, for about £23o.ooo.—The plaintiff some few years past worked as a labourer in husbandry at Mr. Cornock's, of Blanehworth, Berkeley, in the county of Gloucester. EARL GREY.—We deeply regret to learn from a private source on which we are inclined to place the most im plicit reliance, that the health of the venerable Earl Grey is such as to cause the most anxious uneasiness to his family. The noble sufferer, we understand, does not labour under any active disease, but lingers in such a state of exhaustion and natural decay that no one need to be surprised to hear of his lordship's dissolution, for that melancholy event is now looked for by the noble lord's family, most of whom, if not the whole, are at present assembled at Howick. Earl Grey is in his eightieth year, having been born on the 13th of March, 1764.—Sunder land Times.—The Durham Advertiser of Friday states that the state of the venerable earl gives no cause for im mediate alarm, and the Newcastle Journal of Saturday remarks that, though Earl Grey is said to be fast sinking under age and infirmity, it cannot be said there is anything immediately alarming in his condition. THE LEAGUE FUND.—The following statement oflac count was read at the meeting of the League in London last week •—Total amount of subscriptions received, £50.290 14s. The heads of expenditure are as follows : Printing 9,026,000 tracts and stamped publications, and distributing the same ; lecturers' salaries, and expenses of hiring rooms, printing, &c. for 651 lectures; expenses of deputations to 156 meetings in counties and boroughs ; expenses of agricultural meetings, including printing, placarding, and distributing reports, &c. ; expenses of deputations to boroughs on parliamentary registration ; expenses of weekly meetings of the league and metropo litan meetings; rent, taxes, gas, and office expenses, in London and Manchester ; advertising, including 426,000 tracts in magazines; wages, stamps, postages, and inci dental expenses ; local expenses in collecting the league fund. Total expenditure, £47,814 3s. 9d. Balance of cash in band, Sept. 9, 1843, £2,476 109. 3d. His Grace the Duke of Sutherland has offered a reward of £25 for the conviction of the individuals who, on or before the morning of Sabbath, the 27th of August last, tied up the tongue of the bell of the church of Farr, and nailed the rope to the wall ; who feloniously forced their way into the church, and hung up the putrid carcase of a dog from one of the galleries of the same ; who smeared the seat of one of the elders, from end to end with coal tar; who treated the precentor's de•k in the same manner; and who scrawled words and sentences on the pulpit inju rious to the preacher for the day ; also a reward of £l5 for such information as may lead to the conviction of the individuals who, betwixt the evening of Saturday, the 12th and the morning of Sunday, the 13th of August last, cut and carried off the lower portion of the bell-rope of the church of Tongue. and who filled up the keyholes of all the doors of said church with small stones or gravel. GREAT FOOT MATCH AT SHREWSBURY.--This match, came off Monday week, over the Shrewsbury race course. The weather was peculiary fine and bracing. The contest was between James Openshaw, of Lancashire, and the Welsh Bantam, a three-mile match for £6O aside. Open share is reported to be a man of little bard, figure, of great promise, and has had considerable practice in the sport, and much, in consequence, was expected from him. The Bantam, as the successful competitor in more than one race, was a favourite; and, notwithstanding his defeat on the present occasion, continues so still. The Bantam had the start of his competitor of about ten yards. which he kept for about a quarter of a mile, closely followed, however, by Openshaw, who thought it high time to make play, he accordingly put forth his pvirvvin, ttlitl civseu wile tne Damara, aria continued to in crease the distance which he threw between them for the first time round, until be made it 100 yards. That dis tance in the second was increased to 200 yards, which ultimately secured the victory to Openshaw. The dis tance was run by Openshaw in somewhat less than 164 minutes ; and by the Bantam, in 17 minutes. Much confidence is still felt in the Bantam for his speed and bottom. JUSTICE V. THE HORSE GUARDS.—The authorities at the Horse Guards seem to regard themselves as above, or below, public opinion. Notwithstanding the appeal made to them at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, when Lieut. Cuddy and Mr. Gulliver surrendered themselves for trial on the charge for aiding and abetting in the duel by which Lieut. Col. Fawcett lost his life, they still refuse to take the necessary steps to cotnpel Lieut. Monro and his second, Lieut. Grant, to meet the serious charge which is preferred against them. Another of the Central Criminal Courts has closed, and nothing has been heard of Lieutenants Monro and Grant. Their names are still in the Army List. Lieut. Monro was with his regiment up to the morning when he engaged in the duel in which he unhappily killed his relative, and for whic't, both by the verdict of a coroner's inquest and the finding of a grand jury, he stands charged with the crime of " wilful murder." Lieut. Grant, involved in the same serious charge, though on half-pay, is subject to the mili tary authorities. Yet in neither case has the Commander. in Chief deemed it within the compass of his duty to his country to require that these officers, thus amenable to public justice, should be required to place themselves within its reach !—Globe. STRANGE BUT TRUE ACCOUNT Or THE CURRENCY or NORTH AMERICA. —A tradesman, about eighteen months ago, left Paisley to visit some relatives who had emigrated to Brookville, near Montreal. These, with their connections, he found in possession of the greater number of farms in that neighbourhood. They had abundance of everything that constitutes the good things of this life, but no money, not even to the amount of five pounds, amongst the whole. His sister, who accompanied him, began business as a straw-bonnet maker, and having finished one for the wife of a druggist, received payment in sticking-plaster. She had previously ordered from a blockmaker a block for a new shape of bonnet, and, on asking the price, was told that it was sixpence, but cheap ened it down to fivepence. She then presented in pay ment five pennyworth of the sticking-plaster, which was accepted, after much grumbling, and an intimation that he had given her the penny down, expecting to be paid in cash. The person previously alluded to taught drawing, and he was obliged, in the ab'ence of money-fees, to board with the parents of each scholar, to take cords of &wood from one, bacon hams from another, maple sugar from a third, ashes from a fourth, &c. This did not exactly suit, however, and he was glad to return home again to his native place. A Luscious BATH.—PERTH,—On Friday afternoon, as several porters were engaged roping two puncheons of molasses at the shore, on a cart, one of them was sub jected to an inundation of the contents of one of the casks, that for a while created apprehensions in the minds of those about him as to whether he really would not lose his life. He was standing, or rather bending his body, fastening an end of a rope at the back of the cart, when the puncheon suddenly burst, and the whole of the lus cious contents, in a mass, descended upon him, with a violence which laid him prostrate, " buried in sweets." He remained some time entirely invisible, buried beneath the treacle, which, from its nature, be could not shake off, while those about him, disliking the idea of getting themselves similarly besmeared, made no effort to assist him. The liquid at length gradually rolled off, and the deplorable subject of the immersion endeavoured to rise, but he dropped again. This he did so often, that his companions at length, fearing that he might be suffocated, went to his assistance. On being raised to his feet he was very much exhausted, and from his exhaustion, as well as the sticky state of his clothes, he was unable to walk until he had got a drop to revive him. His appear ance, one may imagine, was ludicrous enough as he took his way home to get his clothes cleaned. For some time past a kind of secretfexpedition has been fitting out at this port, and the vessels that have already sailed are under sealed orders, which are not to be opened until the ships have received a given latitude and longi tude across the line. In spite of the secrecy that has been observed, it is now becoming well known that the expe dition has sailed for an island said to be somewhere to the east of the Cape of Good Elope, and the speculation is likely to be not only a lucrative one to those engaged in it, but will be of immense benefit to the agriculturist, as well as to the shipping and commercial interests of the country. It is said that the island in question contains guano of a richer description than any hitherto known here. Several vessels have already sailed from this port with implements of every description, and boats con structed for the purpose of carrying the cargo from the shore to the ships, viz.,—lrishmen, barrows, shovels, pickaxes, &c. A number of other ships, all of large burthen, are about to follow. In London and Liverpool vessels are fitting out for the same destination, but the Clyde shippers have had the start, and we trust will benefit by it. As the price of guano is at present about £l4 per ton, the speculators bid fait to make an excellent thing of it, as they will have the cargo for the taking. We under stand the speculators are two mercantile firms in Glasgow, who have chartered the vessels.—Cnrrespondent of the Greenock Observer. L STANDA SLUON ELI i 1(),*. Standard-office, Three o'clock COTTON MARKET—Tins DAY, The demand for Cotton this morning was unabated, and buying commenced with much vigour at the extreme prices obtained yesterday. The total sales amount to 5 or 6,000 bales—at least one-half of it on speculation ac count. The lower descriptions of American Cotton (say from 4 to 44) are exceedingly scarce at the advance. Since the adove was written, we are enabled to report that the total amount of business to-day is from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, establishing folly id. per lb. advance on last Friday'sprices; about one-half of it by speculators. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY. (From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.) The very moderate imports noted on Friday last have been angmented since, by a large arrival of Irish and Foreign Wheat, with a few parcels of English : of Oats and Ostmeal the supply fresh in is also liberal, including a middling quantity of Irish, and 10,873 barrels of States Flour ; that of other articles being inconsiderable. In addition to the above, we had a good show of farmers' Wheat at this day's market, which, with all qualities of Irish new, met a languid sale, at a decline of 3d. per 701 b., and at the close of business hours many samples remained undisposed of : foreign duty-paid Wheats were likewise offered rather freely, at an abatement of Id. to 2d. from the rates of this day week ; at which, all descrip tions were in very limited request. English and Irish Flour, being in somewhat less demand than at the close of the week, receded to the prices of Tuesday last, whilst fresh States Flour continued to be held at 345. but was not saleable beyond 325. 6d. per barrel. ~,Barley, Malt, and Beans, moved off very sparingly, scarcely sustaining former prices ; but Pease, upon an improved demand, realized the quotations annexed. Oats and Oatmeal, attended with a very dull sale. New descriptions of the former declined Id. per 451 b., and the latter, both New and Old, was 6d. per load cheaper.
