ORANGE T WINE. —A Spanish journal states that, in con sequence of the abundance of the growth of oranges of an excellent quality in the south of Spain. and the difficulty of disposing of them for exportation at a good price, several of the growers convert them into wine which is said to be of a delicious quality, and resembling Much in flavour the of Madeira.

MlLTON.—Satan's address to the sun, in the fourth book of Paradise Lost, is deservedly one of the most admired pas sages in that poem. There the arch fiend, broken loose from hell, emerging from chaos, and, for the first time, beholding the new-created light of another world, is thereby miserably reminded of the high estate from which he had been cast down by " pride and worse ambition." In the opening of Milton's tragedy of Samson Agonistes, Samson is brought out of the d ung eon, and l a id down upon a sunny b ank, to enjoy the wa rmth of the day, and the f reshness of the breeze. By the way, he speaks first to his attendant and then to himself, of his departed glory, his ignominious bondage, and his lament able blindness. Satan and Sam thus present two most striking spectacles of angel and man, fallen by transgression from the loftiest eminence which either could occupy, the one in heaven, the other on earth. The contrast is awful and t ff r e a cting. The fiend, racked with doubt and horror, on the a ll ot i i i a hhold of his new attempt to o cope with the Almighty, the open battle field, by olence, but covertly, by f iu ra t u o d th ; e that fiend, carrying the hell that stirs within himself "batesa nd ag o som of Paradise, looks up to the sun with rage n,_and calls him by his name, to tell him how he his beams," and recoils from his splendour as that band, blind which most annoys hrs;enseWitiiitTand agg ravates his fixed despair. The Hebrew champion, on th tithe r and bound, and captive to the Philistines , having lost bliss, space from prison -labour, and equally re fl ecting on . s fet. a breathing present pain and future hopelessness, stretches out 1 31 tared arms, lifts up his face, as the blind are wont to do, d tell towards the light, and longs to see and bless the sun, an „ is him how be loves his beams. The " archangel in eclipse _c scarcely a more magnificent being than Samson, th e ruin ao! himself, thus cast upon the earth, and bewailing miser his ble thraldom, but chiefly his loss of sight. To contrast these two addresses of Satan and Samson with each other, an d then to compare both with the poet's most touching lamentation over his own bereavement, in the opening of the third book of Paradise Lost, will prove a deeply interesting exercise of taste, sympathy, and nice discernment, to the sensitive and intelligent reader, who will be filled with admiration at the wealth and diversity of talent displayed by the author, on three several occasions, at once so like and so unlike each other. A parallel example of inexhaustible resources on so trite and confined a subject, it would be difficult to quote from any other sathority.—James Montgomery. h gold I'd ndeed to view odding part wd look ---..., COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TxuasnA y, MAY 11, OPENING OF RAILWAYS.—The following railways were opened, or partially so, last week :—Bristol and Exeter to Beambridge, nine miles ; Maryport and Carlisle to Wigton, eleven miles ; Paris and Rouen and Paris and Orleans ; also tA Amsterdam and Rotterdam to about three miles from This was an action brought to recover the sum of £ l,OOO on a policy of insura nce effected in the o ffi ce of the London Hag u e.

A large amount of business is still doing in all widths of printing cloth ; and shirtings, suited for the India Market, are rather worse to buy. Domestic cloth is fiat, and some houses have been forced to reduce their prices. The yarn market is not very brisk, and lower prices than for many months have been taken. The country trade is very flat, for few drapers or wholesale houses have visited us this week. The price of cloth is as follows :-27-inch GG's, 4s. 7 3 / 4 d. to 4s. 10ad. ; 72's, 4s. 10/d. to ss. 3d. ; 9-8 Ws. ss.

Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Justice Erskine, and Mr. Justice Coltman, said, that the question presented to the court for their determination was, whether Mr. Borradaile "died by " within the meaning of the proviso in the policy, wnicu stipulated that if the assured should die on the seas, or go without license beyond the limits of Europe, or enter into the naval or military service, or should die by the hands of justice, " by his own hands," or by duelling, or should at the time of entering into the policy be affected by a disease which would tend to shorten life, the policy should It was admitted that if the party assured threw _if into the water, the case fell within the meaning of .e literal terms of the proviso. It ought to be concluded, therefore, that the parties to the policy meant what they said, unless there was something in the context which showed an intention of restricting the ordinary signification of the language which had been employed. The directors of the as sociation must have known, as practical men, that in the event of a contested claim upon them, they would have but a small chance with a jury, and th a t th e c i rcums ta n ce of a di s tressed family being engaged in a struggle with a wealthy body would not be very likely to lead to a calm consideration of the circumstances under . which the c l a i m was preferred. Th e object, therefore, with which the wor ds " die by his o wn bands" were introduced into the proviso was clear. It had been urged on the behalf of the plaintiff, that at any rate there must have been an intention by the party assured to die by his own hand, and that an i nsane p erson h a d no con trolable intention. But there was no ground for saying that Mr. Borradaile was affected by an uncontrolable impulse to destroy himself; and on the contrary, the jury had found that he threw himself into the river knowing that he should destroy himself, and intending so to do. Their lordships said they could not but distrust the soundness of their judg ment when it was opposed to that of the lord chief justice, but the parties bad a right to the expression of their opinion, and their opinion was, that the defendants were entitled to retain the verdict which had been entered for them. Lord Chief Justice Tindal said, that it appeared to him, upon the best consideration which he could give to this case, that the plaintiff was entitled to the judgment of the court. The question was, whether the circumstances under which Mr. Borradaile took away his own life brought the case within the terms of the proviso in the policy? and it appeared to him, upon the proper construction of that proviso, that the death of the assured was covered by the policy. It was to be observed that the terms of the policy was not language introduced by the assured, hut by the insurers, and in reason a nd good sense, therefore, as well as on all principles of legal construction, the words of the policy were to be taken most strongly against the party using them. When an ambiguous expression was employed, the party who adopted it must not complain if it was interpreted to his disadvantage. Now, the words, " die by his own hand," were words much want ing in certainty and precision. Upon a strict construction of them, every death occasioned by the hand of the party would fall within the meaning of the policy, whether the death was occasioned intentionally, or by misadventure, as by falling on a sword or a knife, or by the bursting of a gun in the party's hands, or in an access of sudden frenzy. It was justly admitted, that death occasioned by these means would not come within the meaning of the condition in the policy ; although death would have been produced by the party's own hand. On the other hand, a party might drown himself, or fall from a height, or suffocate himself ; and yet in these last-mentioned cases no doubt could be entertained that the mode of death would bring the circumstances within the condition of the proviso. Considerable latitude must be given to words used, as. these were, in a metaphorical sense; and it appeared to him, looking at the context, and the position in which the words were found, that the words " dying by his own hands " could not but mean dyingfelo de se. Three cases of death were manifestly intended to fall within the meaning of that proviso ; " dying by the hands of justice, by his own hands, or by duelling." The word " dying " was prefixed to the first member of the sentence only, and go verned these three cases of death. The first and last kind of death mentioned in the sentence were felonious in their nature ; and, applying the rule "noscitur a sociis," it would follow that "dying by his own hands" must be taken to mean a felonious killing by the party of himself, that was, self-murder. It appeared to him, therefore, that there ought to be judgment for the plaintiff ; but while he expressed that opinion, he did so with a proper degree of doubt and distrust, in consequence of the difference of opinion entertained by his learned brothers. It was, at all events, satisfactory to him to know that if he had arrived at a wrong conclusion, it would not do any injury to the parties. The rale was consequently discharged. BOLTON.—The trade of Bolton continues to maintain its improved state, without, however, further advances. Coun terpanes cannot be said to have been exceedingly brisk dur ing the last fortnight, although making a fair sale. For mus lins, quilting, and other fancy goods the demand has been unabated, and the hopes of those who have embarked their capital in the manufacture of these goods are clarly brighten ing. Cotton yarns continue to meet a moderately ready market, without, however, any advance in prices. although stocks are exceedingly low. The hammers of the brass and iron foundries are heard sounding more loudly than they have been for a long time past, and fewer mechanics are seen strolling about in search of employment. The hands at the different bleachine works continue very busy.—lbid. BURY.—The trade in cotton mills is moderately brisk, and hands generally have full employment, but the woollen trade is rather dull. House builders and joiners are only partially employed.—lbid. his own hands, void MIDDLETON AND FAILSWORTII.—The silk trade contin ues in a moderately healthy state as respects employment, but wages remain very low. Shawls and scarfs seem to be in particular request.—lbid. ACCRINGTON AND THE VICINITY.—Trade in Accrington, Church Parish, and Oswaldwistle, within the last month, has assumed a more favourable aspect; the machinery in all the cotton mills is in full operation. Hand-loom weavers have been advanced in their wages, in 30's and 32's jaconets, 40 yards long, from ls. to Is. Bd. per piece. Calico, block, and machine printing is brisker than it has been since the year 1834 ; at several print shops, the whole of the tables are en gaged, and in others more are put up. The cotton trade at Burnley, Padiham, and their vicinities has improved, and hand-loom weavers' wages have been advanced. We may mention one fact that speaks most strongly, viz., that many families have had more butchers' meat during the last three weeks than they have had in six months previous.—lbid. TRADE OF LEE DS.—The demand for manufactured wool lens continues steadily improving, and we are happy to ob serve that there is not only an improvement in the quantity but in the quality of the goods purchased. The markets, since our last, have been well attended, and there has been an extended business done in the finer descriptions of goods, those which are calculated to call for an increased amount of labour in the dressing departments. Several of the manu factories are now running full time, and it is hoped that, ere long, others will be able to do likewise.—Leeds Intelligencer, of Saturday. HIIDDEUSFIELD MARKET.—.We had again a brisk market here on Tuesday, in both plain and fancy cloths, but we are unable to report any improvement in prices. Until that can be accomplished the manufacturers will be unable to advance the wages of their workpeople, which have been depressed to a ruinously low point during the late stagnation. With their former wages and the present reasonable prices of food, the operatives would be enabled to re-clothe themselves and fa milies, (which they have been, for some time, unable to do,) and that would give an additional impetus to the spring that business is now making.—lbid. HALIFAX MARKET.—The demand for manufactured goods here on Saturday was fully as good as we have had to report of late; and the demand was not confined to one de scription of stuffs, but comprised nearly all kinds. Both the yarn and wool markets were firmer, but no material advance of price can be noted.—lbid: BRADFORD MARKET.—We had again a full attendance of buyers at this market on Thursday, and a very good business was transacted, in both plain and fancy goods, at the rates which have been for some time current. There was an active demand for yarns, and as the stocks lately on hand are very much reduced, if not wholly exhausted, prices were very firm. The wool market was brisk, but there was no improvement upon recent rates.—/bid. CLAYTON.—The trade at this place is improving, and the operatives are now better employed than they were a few weeks since ; yct wages continue ruinously low.—/bid. LEICESTER HOSIERY TRADE.—From all that we can learn, we believe that the hosiery trade has improved this week, and were the bank to resume payment, we have no doubt it would be found materially so. The cotton cut-np hose branch is better, and many who have only had partial employment for several weeks, now get full work. A most energetic and unexpected struggle is taking place in the glove trade. The season for making woollen gloves having com menced, the largest glove house has signified its intention of reducing the wages in the same ratio that Lisle thread gloves were reduced some months ago. The fancy trade is im proving, but rather slowly in some articles ; stiil it is pro gressing, which raises great hopes : at all events it is much more consolatory than if it was declining.—Nottingham Journal, of Friday. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY 8. — There has been an unusually good attendance of buyers in the market to-day, who have purchased very freely, but prices have been extremely low. Wool has been more in quired after, and more extensive sales have been effected than on the preceding Monday. Prices remain firm. MARSH V. WOOLLEY Lord Chief Justice TINnAL delivered the judgment of the court in this case, which was a rule obtained in the course of the present term, calling upon the sheriff of Montgomery shire to show cause why the defendant should not be dis charged out of his custody, and also calling upon the plain tiff to show cause why he or the sheriff should not pay the costs of the application. The defendant was taken in execu tion by the sheriff under a writ of ca. sa. issued at the suit of the plaintiff in the action, and it appeared, upon the affidavit of Mr. John Radcliffe, of Liverpool, the defendant's agent, that, at the time of the arrest, a protection had been granted to the defendant, by Mr. Phillips, one of the Bankruptcy Commissioners for the Liverpool district, under the provi sions of the first section of the late Act for the relief of In solvent Debtors, the sth and 6th of Victoria, c. 116. Upon the argument four questions were raised for the decision of the court; first, whether the order of protection was good without showing the authority of the commissioner to make such an order; secondly, whether the affidavit disclosed sufficient jurisdiction ; thirdly, whether the defendant ought to be discharged out of custody ; and lastly, upon what terms he ought to be discharged. The court found, upon exami ning the order, that it contained no statement that the de fendant was not a trader, or that being a trader be owed debts amounting to less than £3OO, or that he bad given the requisite notices, or had resided twelve calendar months within the Liverpool district. The order merely recited, that the defendant had presented a petition to the Court of Bankruptcy for protection, without any finding that the statements in the petition were true; and it then proceeded to grant a protection to the defendant from all process against his person or property, under the terms of the act of parlia ment. By the 13th section of the statute, however, the judges and commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy, or an y four of them, were empowered to make such orders, rules, and regulations as they thought fit, for the purpose of the act into execution, and it appeared that certain rules carrying arid orders were made by the judge and commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy, and approved of by the Lord Chancellor, in one of which was found the form of an order corresponding in every respect, with that given in the pre sent case. The question, therefore, resolved itself into this, whether the words of the 13th section conferred on the judges of the Court of Bankruptcy the power to make such an order, and the court were of opinion that the words used were large enough for that purpose. The next question was, whether the defendant was to be required to prove by affidavit the ju risdiction of the commissioner ; and they were of opinion that if the court should call upon him to do so, they could not refuse to hear affidavits on the other side, and thus they would anticipate the examination before the commissioner, w hich would be obviously inconvenient. As, therefore, the defendant was entitled to his discharge, it only remained to say on what terms the rule should be made absolute. It would be manifestly unjust to make the sheriff pay the costs, because he could not know the terms of the protection, and be would have been liable to an action for escape if he had let the defendant go, and it appeared, ultimately, that the sheriff bad no jurisdiction. The plaintiff also seemed to have been ignorant, at the time of the arrest, that any order of protection had been giv en to the defendant ; and, indeed, it did no t appear that any protection had reached the defendant t h a t time. They were, therefore, of opinion that the rule at for the discharge of the defendant out of custody should be - made absolute, but without costs. c Ou gn . S.PATENT.—In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Mon d a y, the greater part of the day was occupied in hearing the arguments of counsel in this case, which was an applica tion to the court, made upon notice on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Nlessrs. Chubb, of St. Paul's-church-yard, the inventors, makers, and proprietors of the celebrated patent locks known by that name, and also of the patent iron doors, safes, fire proof c hests, boxes, &c., for an injunction to restrain the de fendant, Priest, who is a furniture and general broker, carry ing on business in Water-street, Blackfriars, from selling, or i n any manner disposing of, or dealing in, any iron doors, safes, chests, or boxes, which have been, or shall be, made or manufactured by or for the defendant, in imitation of, or by the name and description of, the iron doors, safes, chests, and boxes made by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs alleged by their bill, supported by their own and the affidavits of several persons, that the defendant was exposing and had exposed on his premises for sale, and was selling iron doors, safes, chests, and fire-proof boxes, all of which were spurious ar ticles of manufacture, not made or manufactured by the plain tiffs, but which the defendant endeavoured, by placards, la bels, and tickets posted on his premises, to represent to the public as articles the make and manufacture of the plaintiffs; and these articles he disposed of, under such representations, at one-half the price charged by the plaintiffs. The defendant, together with several other persons, made affidavits on his behalf, denying that the defendant had ever represented the articles exposed by him for sale, or which be tad sold, as being articles made or manufactured by the plaintiffs. Mr. Bethell and Mr. Bacon supported the plaintiffs' case; Mr. Wakefield and Mr. Glass appeared for the defendant. The Vice-Chancellor, without waiting to hear Mr. jiethell's reply for the plaintiffs, said he was of opinion that, upon a review of the whole of the evidence in the case, the balance of the testimony was in favour of the plaintiffs case, and he thought sufficient had been stated to warrant the court in granting the injunction. Injunction granted in the terms above stated. The proctors' charges in . Wood of Gl ouces t er ' s w ill amou nted to £17, 5363 5. 2 d., divided between three proctors.

To each o f hi s f i ve sons he g ives a million and a half, besides £40,000 a year in land, which goes to the eldest son ; and to each of his fifty-one grandchildren and great-grandchildren £14,000 , mak i ng £700,090 more for this single item. We take it f or granted t h a t the daughters, one of whom is the lady of the Vice- Chanc ellor Sir James Wigram, are not left wholly unprovided for. — Weekly Chronicle. THE TRADE IN " PRODIGIOUS SACRIFICES ! !"—A mer cantile house has been set up in London, with no other view than to send out rotten old ships, laden with suppositious bales of goods, for the sole purpose of being wrecked, and in that way to plunder the insurance offices. The lives sacri ficed in this horrible speculation led to general outcry, when, by some accidental, or rather providential, circumstance, the thing was discovered. We are always hearing of prodigious bargains on sale, some article offered for less than it could possibly be sold at, unless on some other article a profit equivalent to this loss is to be made; and if only equivalent, who would be at the trouble, and incur the risk of such a venturous game ? We may point to large establishments, not " selling off," but in thriving business, undertaking to supply some small matter in very general use at 50 or 100 per cent. less than the very preparation, exclusive of the material, must cost them, if the poor creatures who fashion it are paid with any regard to common honesty or decency in the transaction. How can this be, unless purchasers, tempted by such a lure to frequent the establishment, are enormously overchargd,—in plain, English, defrauded, in somewhat else? We cannot exonerate the buyers of these bargains; they must know, if they put their reasoning facul ties to the use for which they were given, that a man who is trying to make a fortune by his shop will not yield to an im pulse of such romantic generosity, as not only to offer the public in general a very expensive present at his own proper cost, but also to lay out a good round sum in advertising his very benevolent and very preposterous intentions. Some body, they may be assured, must suffer; the tradesman will take care that he shall not be the losing party, and the bar gain-hunter may go, perfectly resolved not to be imposed on, to purchase the thing offered so marvellously below its value, and nothing else ; but with what satisfaction can he'(or she, for ladies are the principal objects of these tempting lures) pocket the contemptible saving, under a conviction that either the starving artificer must lose a portion of the daily pittance with which a few potatoes are purchased, or some open-hearted customer be subjected to imposition, to bring the balance even again ?—Perils of the Nation. SOME OF THE CAUSES OF THE LATE DISTRESS.—[From " the Anti-Corn-Law League and the Country," in Fraser for May.]—Much of this distress is attributable to changes that have taken place in the manufacturing system itself. As improvements in machinery have advanced, the demand for adult labour has decreased, whilst the demand for infant la bour has extended. To such perfection has spinning ma chinery been brought, so much less has it left to be accom plished by the strength and manual dexterity of grown and able-bodied persons, that the labour has devolved almost entirely upon children. The manufacturers no longer require the nerve and grasp of rude hands; all they want is the light and delicate touch of nimble littlefiugers. It is no longer, as the younger Pliny has it, Hoc opus mullas mania poscit, but, Hoc opus mull°, diyitalos poscit. In all the spinning mills where modern machinery is used, there arc now com paratively few adults employed; indeed, in one of the largest in the manufacturing districts of the north of England where 500 persons were employed, there were not more than a dozen grown persons, if we except overlookers, who have charge of the several rooms; and in another mill, where there were nearly 900 persons at work, there were not more than twenty adult work-people, the bulk of the " hands" consisting of children between the ages of ten and eighteen. We believe that this state of things pervades the whole manufacturing districts. " Well ; but," we shall be asked, " what becomes of the parents?" That question touches a cord which vibrates with a painful keenness through every nerve of the manufac turing system. It darts home to the very core of the moral condition of the factory population, and reveals one great source of that depravity and wretchedness which the orators of the league are to ready to attribute to the corn-laws. " What becomes of the parents ?" For the most part, they subsist on Me bounty of their children ! The laws of nature arc reversed! The young child is put in the place of its aged and experienced parent ! He who should feed, and instruct, and chasten, is deposed from his authority, and turned into a helpless dependant upon his offspring. The money has changed hands, and with it. robbed of its moral attributes, the (parental) authority. Out of their earnings the children allow their parents a weekly pittance to subsist upon in the event of their not being able to obtain other than factory employment, and there the mutual obligation is fulfilled. The parents resign all authority over the children, and the children provide the means of support, for the parents. But the evil does not stop here. Subject to no control, the children at the age of 15 or 16, in many instances, leave the roof of their parents and seek shelter elsewhere, in order that they may become entirely their own masters and mis tresses. They take lodgings, males and females mixing promiscuously, observe what hours they please, do as they please, and bid defiance to all authority but their own erring and corrupt will. Enter any of the singing rooms or other beer-houses of entertainment and amusement ai Manchester (and there are hundreds of them fitted up in a most costly and attractive style) on a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday night, and there you will find the yo u thf u l cotton spinners of both sexes giving the rein to the very lowest and most debasing kind of licentiousness and dbbauchery. Listen to their language, observe their movements, mark the almost idiotic delight with which they listen to and take part in the most obscene songs and " recitations ;'• then watch them, sated with their wretched pleasures, crawl home stupified, listless, and half intoxicated, to a late bed, which they must leave almost the next hour for the factory ; note down these things, and then say whether the moral habits and condition of the younger members of the manufacturing population are not in themselves a sufficient predisposing cause of distress and misery, without setting anything down either to the ,coal -laws or the vicissitudes of trade. Can it be difficult, with such facts as these before 'us, to conceive a tenfold ag gravation of distress when trade languishes and labour and wages are curtailed ? Rail upon the " bread-taxers," indeed ! better cleanse out their Augean stable before they quarrel with the quantity or quality of the corn in their cratch !" and was c Erskine, LAW INTELLICIVNON Sittings in Banco.)

AN ANCIENT PARTY.—Last week a singular wedding took place at the village of Shurdington, Gloucestershire; the the bridegroom was 72, the bride 69 ; the bridesman 76, and the bridesmaid 73 years old.—He'reford Journal. MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCE IN HIGLI LIFE.—To-day Mr. Hugh Williams, the owner of vast estates in Wales, will lead to the altar Miss Wynn, the sister of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart. The commander of her Majesty's ship Spartan, arrived at Vera Cruz, reported that he saw the hull of a large steamship while off St. Thomas, which vessel was, probably, lost some where in that latitude. Mr. Walshaw, clock and watchmaker, of Knareshorough, it is said, has constructed a magnetic engine, in a compact and portable form, having condensed within the limits of - six inches square, a power equal to forty pounds in weight. PORT or PRESTON.—On Tuesday last, several merry peals were rung upon the bells of the Parish Church, to announce the news of Preston having been granted the privileges of an independent port. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.—In the year 1742 the county of Fermanagh was represented in the Irish parliament by Henry Brooke, Esq. and Nicholas Archdall, Esq. The present re presentatives of that county in the imperial parliament are Mervyn Archdall, Esq. and Sir Arthur Brooke, Bart. A new London Newspaper, called The British Lion, and Courier of London, published three days a week, has been commenced during the present week. Its principal object is stated to be to defend the Landed and Agricultural Interests, and to give battle to the Anti-Corn-Law Leaguers. A London commercial traveller was arrested at Carlisle last week, when ten bottles of Scotch whiskey were found in his "carpet bag." He pleaded ignorance of the excise laws, and by way of a practical lesson the magistrate fined him £25. It is said that only two regiments are to remain in China —the 18th and 98th; and that the 55th will return home on the arrival of the four companies of the 98th, now under or ders for llong Kong—the first division of which will embark in the Cornwall, now fitting at Portsmouth. A class was opened, a short time ago, at the Royal Poly technic Institution, in London, for the instruction of naval men in the use and application of steam power to paddle wheels, propellers, and other apparatus used in steam navigation. A LONG STEAM-110AT.-Mr. Burden, of Troy, is now i❑ New York, making arrangements to construct a steam-boat six hundred feet long! She is expected to make the trip from New York to Troy, 160 miles, in five hours ! Albany Atlas. Councillor Timothy O'Brien has been nominated for the office of Lord Mayor of Dublin for the ensuing year, by a majority of five over Councillor Fagan : according to the new bill of Lord Elliot, the election is fixed for the Ist of De cember. An influential body of gentlemen have resolved upon the immediate construction of railroad carriages from Dublin to Portuuma and Ballanisloe : they intend to act upon the at mospheric principle, and to avail themselves of the banks of the Royal Canal. A renewed effort is about to be made for the establishment of a bank for British India, with its centre resting in London a respectable deputation had an interview on the subject yes terday week with the Earl of Ripon, the President of the Board of Trade, which, as far as it went, proved satisfactory. There is now living at Marham, near Downham, Suffolk, an old lady named Alice Dye, who was born on the 3d of March, 1752, and who has had the following offspring .-3 sons, -1 daughters, 71 grand-children, 180 great grand-child ren, 20 great-great-grand-children—total, 206. A commission has been appointed by government to in quire into the condition of children among the colliers and miners in Shropshire, together with the counties of Worces ter, Stafford, and Warwick, and to report the result of their inquiries to parliament. The sum of £650 has been voted for the expenses of conducting this commission. Mrs Rees, a lady of fortune was tried on Wednesday, at the Westminster Sessions, and acquitted, on a charge of Lav ing stolen a pair of white silk stockings in the shop of a ho sier in Regent -street. She is related to some of the first families in Wales, and had several thousand pounds in her pocket at the time of the alleged theft. Messrs. Rimmingtons and Younges of Sheffield, have pub licly notified to their friends that they have made arrange ments to retire from their business as bankers, in favour of the Sheffield and Retford Bank, the business of which estab lishment was on 'Wednesday last, removed to the bank in High-street, Sheffield. MANCHESTER CORPORATION—MR. OSWALD MILNE.— This gentleman's claim, (X 34,000) for loss of fees as magis trates' clerk at the New Bailey, has been declared by the Mayor and Corporation of Manchester invalid. This com munication was made to Mr. Milne on Thursday. Mr. Milne has the right of appeal to the Privy Council—a right which he will, no doubt, forthwith exercise. A model frigate, to be called the Victoria, is now in course of building, by order of the Privy Council Committee on Education, and is intended to be let into the green sward in front of the boy's school at Greenwich Hospital, for the in struction of the boys. The school vessel will be frigate rigged, measuring 500 tons burthen, mounting IS guns, and fitted in every respect as for actual service. Among the articles disposed of in the eighth day's sale of Lord Berwick's library, was a copy of " Magna Charts," printed on vellum in letters of gold, with portraits of King John and his barons ; with the Duke of York's spe ec h against the Catholic Relief Bill, printed on vellum in letters of gold, in one volume, in a morocco case, with lock and key. Fol. ISM This copy was executed for a royal per sonage, and was bought by Pickering for £5B. DANGEROUS LUNATIC.—About a week since, a fine young girl. about nine years old, named Ross, was going to school at Ballymacateer, about half a mile from Lurgan, when she was pursued by a mischievous idiot, named M'Crory, and so affrighted was the poor child that, on arriving at the school, she sank exhausted on a form, where she soon fell asleep. On arriving at home she was put to bed, from which she never rose, having died in four or five days afterwards. A Wtnow's LasT TEAR.—There was a buxom widow in Exeter, whose husband died a few weeks since; she followed him to the grave as a widow should, and on turning to depart her handkerchief fell into it, and settled on the coffin. Some anxious friends who mourned with her instantly offered to rescue it from the grave. " Let it alone !" she said, ex claiming—" I've done with tears now !" Not many days elapsed before that widow was rewived, and then the honest gossips of the neighbourhood remembered the token of the last tear.—West of England Conservative. A'TOUGH OLD WOMAN.—In Oultsmoral, Clyne, Suther landahire, there lives an old woman, born in 1722, who is still able to take care of herself, and can even knit stockings yet. She was married in 1760, and has been a widow 51 years; has had a large family, and has seen her great grandchildren. She was very stout and tall—five feet nine inches, but now she is much bent. She has still a capital memory. There were not many men in the parish that could match her for strength. She never felt the least symptoms of sickness — never was in the hands of the doctors. Her name is Ann Sutherland, alias M'Aie, and site is a native of the High lands.— Caledonian Mercury. THE BANS FORBID !—An unusual circumstance occurred in Kingstone Church, in this country, on Sunday last, dur ing divine service. The clergyman published the names of James Morgan and Jane Morgan as persons about to enter the estate of matrimony, when up started a young girl of the name of Emma Cooke, and exclaimed, " I forbid the bans !" The congregation were struck with astonishment, and were of course in the dark as to the reason of such a proceeding. It has since transpired that Mr. James Morgan had paid his addresses to Miss Emma Cooke, and continued them up to the month of May, on the first of which he forsook his first love, and obtained the consent of another to become his bride. Whether this is a valid ground of objection against the publication of the bans, or a case for the lawyers in the shape of a breach of promise of marriage, is a point which we do dot pretend to decide.—Hereford Journal. DREADFUL THUNDER-STORM AT RAPHOE.—About two o'clock, p.m., on Monday, a continued noise of thuneer from the north-east gave notice of an approaching storm, and, until half-past two, the rain descended in torrents. About three o'clock the inhabitants were horrified by a fearful peal, accompanied by most vivid lightning. After the dismay had subtitled, it was found that the steeple of the cathedral was very much damaged. Its massive walls (nearly sixty feet thick) have been, on the north-east side, fairly split open. The cathedral windows, on the same side, are altogether broken in. It appears that some of the electric matter passed through the church, as, in many parts of the aisles, pieces of flagging are broken up. Windows have been broken in many of the houses in the town. A cabin has been thrown down ; and the house inhabited by Captain Crawley, of the police, is so much injured, that it is no longer safe to live in. No lives have been lost, though several persons were pros trated to the ground by the violence of the shock.—Derry Standard. MACKAY THE MURDERER.—We understand that there is little alteration in this unfortunate criminal since receiving sentence of death, He sleeps well, and his appetite is by l means affected. He i s d a il y v i sited by t h e pr i son chaplains, is and listens attentiv e ly t o t h e i r instruct i ons. I n d ee d so ear. ' nestly has he devoted himself to preparing for the great change that awaits hi m , t h at althoug h a ver y illit erate perso when first taken into custody, he can now read, and has com mitted to memory a number of psalms and hymns. He has been visited by some relations of his murdered wife, but the interviews have not affected him to any extent, nor has his general health suffered in the slightest degree from his for lorn and wretched condition. As a precaution, a prison at tendant spends the night in the little apartment adjoining, and looking into, the condemned cell. Mr. A. Young, agent for the prisoner, very properly transmitted to the care of Sir James Graham, on Monday last, a petition addressed to Her Majesty, praying a commutation of the sentence—the result of which cannot yet be known. If nothing takes place, however, to interrupt the sentence of the court, Mackay will suffer the last penalty of of the law on Thurs day, the 18th inst.—Glasgow Chronicle. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Monday afternoon last an accident of a singular nature occurred on the premises of Messrs. John and Samuel Barrett, millers, Todd-street, under the following circumstances :—During the whole of he day a man named William Entwistle, together with another man, had been assisting to unload some sacks of meal from carts by means of a teagle. Each set of carts having been unloaded, the meal was discharged out of the sacks through a hole in the room , about 18 inches square, into a large bin underneath. Hav ing been so engaged for some time, Tomlinson, the man working along with deceased, heard a noise as of the truck falling, and on going to the spot he perceived that the deceased had fallen headlong through the hole, and had sunk about a yard deep into the meal, with his feet uppermost. With the assistance of soms fellow workmen he was extricated, after having been in the bin about three minutes. Medical aid was called in, and all was done that could be to restore him ; but he died in about twenty minutes, having been smothered with the meal, part of which he had inhaled. An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, at the Dog and Partridgelnn, before Mr. Chap.. man, borough coroner, and a verdict of accidental death was returned, accompanied with a request from the jury that the coroner would write to Messrs. 13arratt to have the hole closed in future during the interval between the emptying and unloading the sacks.—Maucheder Guardian. btpping Litelligente. —.silglin , --.--- FRIDAY, MAY I2.—Wind South, light.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 13 Prices have remained steady during the week, with some ten dency to advance this, however, has been checked by a favourable change in the weather; the cold wiuds which have prevailed for sometime having been succeeded by a warmer temperature and occasional showers. The business done since our last has been confined to a fair sale of each article for consumption. At Wake. field and Liverpool, yesterday, the trade was firm, with a steady, though not extensive, inquiry. Our market this day is of much the same character. Wheat and Flour move off gradually at prices rather better than those of last Saturday, for particular qualities : stocks of the former con tinue to diminish, and for the latter we are pretty much depend. ant upon the weekly supply, which is small. Oats, upon a slow demand, fully support former rates, as also do superior qualities of Oatmeal. Malt is firmly held for an advance of Is per load, and Beans Is per quarter, but this checks sales. Pease, and all the lower descriptions of feeding stuff, are exceedingly dull of sale. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 12. Sugar.—There continues a good demand for all descriptions, and the sales amount to 700 hhds. B. P. 3300 bags Mauritius and 3200 bags Bengal, at very full prices. Foreign. -85 cases and 350 bags ordinary to good brown Pernams have been taken for export, at an advance of 18s 6d er cwt. Molasses.—There has bee more dis. position to buy this week, and advanced rates have been paid ; the sales consist of 220 puns., viz. 70 puns. Antigua, from the quay, at 30s, and 140 puns. Demerara, at 243 6d for ordinary old, to 27s 6d per cwt. for fine new quality. Coffee.—The market still continues dull : at a public sale of 2so casks of Jamaica, of the new crop, there was little disposition evinced by the Trade to purchase, except at a considerable reduction on previous rates ; the holders, however, being unwilling to accede, nearly the whole was withdrawn ; but subsequently several lots of good to fine middling have been disposed of at tolerably firm prices the sales comprise 100 casks of Jamaica, 70 brls. very ordinary unclean Demerara at 30s. and 20 brls. fine ordinary La Guayra at 488 per cwt. Nothing done in Cocoa, Pimento or Pepper ; but 400 bags Bengal Ginger sold at 133 per cwt. Rice.-50 tces. of dressed Carolina were sold at 21s to 248, 65 tees. American (in bond) at 15s, and 1500 bags Bengal at lOs to lOs 6d, per cwt. Rum.—The sales are ►3O puns., chiefly fine Demerara, 30 to 38 per cent. 0. P.. at 2s 10d to 3s sd, and a few casks East India at is 3d per gallon proof. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 12 A fair extent of business has been done in Cotton to-day. About 5,000 bales sold, some of them to speculators, at prices similar to those of the last few days. The sales•of the week reach exactly 49,000 bales. Of this quantity the trade have only taken 16,400, much below their weekly consumption, leaving 31,700 for speculators and 900 for export. The market closes quietly. Many parties have ceased their operations till the arrival of the Boston steamer, expected to-morrow, with much later accounts of the state of the weather for the coming crop. Prices generally to up since the lowest point last week. COTTON MARKET, MAY 15. On Saturday there was a large business done in Cotton, princi pally by speculators, previous to the arrival of the Boston mail. 6000 was bought In this way, and 3000 by the trade, making a total of 9000, at full mark et prices. To-day the demand has been very moderate, and specnlation has entirely disappeared, owing to the accounts from the 'States being void of anything of an exciting nature. The receipts of the present crop had reached 2,000,000 bales, though the prospects of the coming crop were not of the most favourable kind, yet from the immense supplies this season, it isanticipated there will be no lack. On the whole there is less Cotton offering to day, and the feeling in the market is decidedly firmer and healthier than it was at the close of last week. 4000 bales sold all to the consumers. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. There has again been an extensive demand, particularly from Speculators, who have purchased largely : during the last two days, however, there has been less animation, but prices close at an advance of id per lb on the common and middling qualities of American; in other descriptions there is no change to notice. Speculators have taken 31,700 American, and Exporters 700 American and 200 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the sth to the 11th May, inclusive.

With the exception of a few parcels of Oats and Oatmeal, from Ireland, we have scarcely any fresh supplies to notice, either thence or coastwise, since Tuesday ; and the only foreign import is 551 qrs. Wheat from Valparaiso, accounted for in some degree by the prevalence of easterly winds. No observable change has taken place in the value of any article within the past two days ; during which the trade has continued perfectly steadyin all respects, and we have had a moderate business going forward, but no spirited or gene ral demand. Very few local or country millers appearing at our Corn Exchange to-day, the operations in Wheat were inconsider able but the holders remaining firm, and anticipating an improved demand to meet the decreasing stocks in the Lran aries of this port, all descriptions of this grain maintained the full rates of Tuesday, and, in particular cases, a small ad vance was required, but not decidedly realized. Prime marks of English and Irish Flour were in request at an amendment of ls. per sack ; and States as well as Canadian were the turn dearer. Barley, of which several parcels were taken for grinding is now held on rather higher terms; and Malt steadily com manded our last quotations. Beans, haying become less plentiful, and being somewhat more saleable, supported late prices. Pease remained uu varied. Oats, upon a very limited supply fresh in, and few left over from previous arrivals, maintained our last currency ; and Oatmeal, with a tolerable demand from speculative buy , era and consumers, remained steady in value.
