LITERARY NOTICES. Master Humphrey's Clock. By Boz. Webb, Liverpool. I We learn this work is to be concluded, in other words the " Clock is to be stopped" in November. In the present part we find poor Barnaby in prison, his friends rioting through the streets, and making a strong effort to release him. Old Varden gets into their clutches, and a scene of much excitement is vividly described. Mr. Dickens, it is said, is about making a tour in America ; he will be well re ceived by Brother Jonathan. The next number may be ex pected to be very interesting. Asiatic Journal. W. H. Allen and Co., London. The review of Eastern news is continued. The truckling and bungling Captain Elliot is severely and very properly dealt with. The " Memoirs of a Griffin" gives us an insight into hog and alligator hunting, and the mode of treating In dian robbers. The " Diary of a Surgeon" is continued, de tailing the ravages of the cholera. " Saturday Evening" is a graceful poem, full of pure thought. We have "The Bench, the Bar, and the Press of Bombay, No. 2." The " Debate at the India-house" will be read by all interested in India with much attention. There is an immense quantity of Indian news as usual. This journal, we perceive, is pub lished regularly two days after the arrival of the overland mail. The British Farmers Magazine. No. N. Ridgway and Sons, London This quarterly magazine, which is stated to be the property of Mr. Cannell, of this town, contains many very clever ar ticles and papers upon agricultural matters. Amongst other things, we find a Consideration of the Science of Agriculture — the Importance of Farmers' Clubs—a good and elaborate paper on the Rotation of Crops—a Defence of Agricultural Socie ties. The meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society in Liverpool is thus mentioned, and the gross mismanagement, illiberality, and want of discretion on the part of the com mittee, slurred over. It shows that the conduct of the com mittee cannot be defended nor battled for one moment : " The Liverpool papers state that the show was nothing to what it would have been had the managing committee done their duty. Not a singie advertisement, however, notifying the particulars of the show, ever appeared in either a Lanca shire or a Cheshire paper; and when the farmers from those counties applied in Liverpool to enter stock, they were in formed that there was no local committee, and that they must write to London, both to enter their stock, and learn the na ture of the regulations. As regards the proceedings of the committees, too, complaints were made that the reporters of the press were carefully excluded, as if secrecy were more desirable than publicity. The consequence of this has been, that the local papers have teemed with angry observations, - reflecting on the due qualifications of the committees for the duties they had undertaken, and severely questioning the line of conduct which has marked the proceedings of the so ciety at Liverpool. " These remarks, scattered over the kingdom, will be apt to raise unfavourable impressions against the society, and, as some do not scruple to say, make it appear to be not eal culated for the general advancement of agriculture. We hope, however, that this impression will not be suffered to gain ground, as the stability of the society might be most seriously affected by it. Doubtless, however, the council will in future make such arrangements as will give satisfac tion both to the press and the public, and take measures to counteract whatever may endanger the welfare of the society." A list of the prizes is given which were awarded on the occasion, The Observations made during a Tour from Nor folk to Liverpool and back, is an amusing as well as instruc tive article. This magazine is well worth the attention of every farmer. Agriculturists of all denominations should support such productions, not only by subscribing for, but contributing to, them. Every man possesses some little wisdom which another knoweth not, but which might be im parted. Taken altogether, we consider the British Farmers' Magazine deserving of support. Amongst the other contents are—Farmers' Clubs, Mr. C. W. Johnson on the Rotation of Crops, Improvements in Ploughs, Formation of Water Meadows, Second Annual Re - port of the Beccles Farmers' Club, New Distemper in Cattle, Meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England at Liverpool, Spade Labour, Destruction of the Turnip Fly, Yorkshire Agricultural Society, Warminster and South Wilts Farmers' Club, the Harvest, West Sussex Agricultural Association, Interesting Letter on Guano Manure (well worth notice), Joint Stock Farming, Calder Vale Agricultu ral Society's Show, Foreign Grain Imported into Great Bri- tain during the last Forty Years, Chipping-Norton Agricul tural Society, Blight and Mildew in Wheat, Warwick An nual Cattle Show, Agriculture in the Weed Prairies of MISCELLNNEOUS Mernw•ial of Dieppe states that a young woman near that town was brought to bed a few days ago of four children, who, with the mother, are doing well. Portland Chapel, Bath, formerly a Roman Catholic place of worship, will be opened for Divine service according to the forms of the Established Church, on the last Sunday of this month. Mr. Wigram has been appointed to one of the new judge ships created by the bill passed in the last session for facin tating the administration of justice in the Conrt of Chancery. No gentleman has been yet selected as Mr. Wigram's col- The corporation of the city of Durham and the commis sioners under the Durham Paving Acts have effected two very great improvements in that ancient city—namely, the enlargement of the market-place and the widening of the thoroughfare at the foot of Claypath. They contemplate still further improvements. Nearly all the miners of Castleton, in Derbyshire, have turned out, in consequence of the agents requiring them to work two hours a day extra for the same wages. The rate of wages has been only 2s. 6d. a day, or 15s. a week. The plea offered by the agents for the reduction is, that the mines have become too impoverished to afford an adequate return. THE LATE JAMES WOOD.—The mayor has convened a meeting of the town-council of the city of Gloucester for Tuesday next, " to adopt such measures as may be deemed necessary with reference to the judgment of the judicial com mittee of the privy council relative to the will and codicil of the late James Wood, Esq." - -- • In the London Gazette of Tuesday night, the following appointments as to the British ministers at foreign courts are officially announced :—Lord Cowley to the Court of France ; Lord Stuart de Rothesay to Russia ; Sir Stratford Canning to the Ottoman Porte; Sir Robert Gordon to Austria ; and Lord Burghersh to Prussia. -• • • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On. Tuesday, a most destructive fire took place at Southampton, by which, according to a letter received at London. upwards of 80 houses were destroy d. The town was partially inundated the same evening, and the bridge across the river was swept away, and a boy, who was crossing at the time, perished. The disposal of the highly valuable property at Tredegar iron works, Monmouthshire, is announced, and the mode proposed is a species of lottery, the price of each share being fixed at £lO. The property is divided into lots. One prize is no less value than four thousand guineas, this being she . ......_ Tredegar Arms Inn, Tredegar.—Ccmbrian. GREAT PROTESTANT MRETING.—The Rev. Professor Butler, of Dublin, one of the most distinguished ornaments the Church of England in the sister country, as a preacher and public orator, has been invited by the committee of the Protestant Association to take part in the great protestant meeting which is to be held at Exeter Hall, on the 4th No vember next. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. — Each of the stew ards are £l9O minus by the late festival. The enormous sums given to the foreign " stars " is tile reason assigned for the deficiency. We are informed that the Choral Society of London have come to the resolution never to attend ano ther musical festival at which such inordinate amounts are lavished on foreigners, to the neglect and injury of native talent. An important discovery of large strata of coal has been made at Buckow, a small village not far from Berlin. A company has been formed for working the mine, which pro mises to be so abundant that :aanufacturers and steam engines will probably soon be supplied with coal at half its present price. When it is known that the Berlin manufac tories employ about 40,000 workmen, the importance of this discovery will be easily understood.—German paper. It is our painful duty this evening to announce the death of the Right Rev. George De la Poer Beresford, D.D., Lord Bishop of Kilmore and Ardagh, which melancholy event took place on Saturday morning last, at half-past one o'clock, in the 77th year of his age, and fortieth of his episcopacy. His lordship took his accustomed drive on Friday, and dined with his family as usual. In the night he became suddenly unwell, when medical aid was at once called in, but without effect. DEATH OF DR. FRANCIA, DICTATOR OF PARAGUAY. — Dr. Francia, the author, and up to within the last few weeks, the inflexible upholder of the non-intercourse policy of Pa eaquay, has, by his death, removed the only obstacle to trade upon the river Parana, and other parts of the rich kingdom of Paraguay. This singular man now rests in the quiet of the grave, having been tottering on its verge for the last three years. Before his time the chiefs of the South Ame rican republics, who, under the name of presidents, had more than the power of kings, succeeded each other with less than the brief sovereignty of Lord of Mayors of Lon don. Francia was the first who had the skill to fix himself steadfastly in power, and to retain it against all other men in the state. Francia's early history was that of a scholar and a gentleman. Loss OF A COLLIER.—Some Calais pilots fell in on the 6th instant with a collier from Sunderland, the Respect, bound for Calais, with a cargo. It had been abandoned by the crew, was in a sinking condition, and shortly after it was met went down. The Journal de Calais, in mentioning the loss of this vessel, says that the crew bad been picked up by the English mail steamer Dover, going from Dover to Os tend. It appears, this paper adds, that the crew of the Respect had not seconded the captain in endeavouring to save the ship ; that they wished to take to the longboat, but the captain, seizing a hatchet, stove in the boat, so as to ren der it impossible to be used. A sailor, however, took the hatchet and threw it into the sea, and ultimately the captain giving way, embarked with the crew in the jollyboat. The collier had first struck on a bank off Dunkirk. SUCCESSFUL CHASE AFTER A RAILWAY TRAIN.—A few days ago a gentleman, who appeared anxious to reach Darlington with the least possible delay, applied at the Derby station for a special train to convey him. Not being able to procure one he proceeded by the mail train, and, on arriving at the Castleford station, near to Wakefield, he alighted and asked one of the porters how long the train would remain. The porter, understanding him to mean the Hull train, told him about 20 minutes. The traveller then left the platform, and, on his return, his surprise and vexation may be imagined on finding the train, which contained the whole of his lug gage had started. He immediately ordered a chase and four post horses, but was only able to obtain two, and started in chase of the train towards York, a distance of 20 miles, where it was to remain 40 minutes, 50 minutes being allowed to reach that station. He arrived at the York station just as the train was starting, the engineer's whistle having been sounded as he came within sigt. Fortunately the chaise driver made a s'gnal, which was observed by the guard of the train, and our hero was enabled to take his place in the rail way carriage he had quitted at Castleford.—Derbyshire Courier. DARING ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—A person of the name of David Lee, a native of Kendal, by trade a wailer, who was committed to the House of Correction in that town for six weeks for an assault, this week made his escape over the prison walls on the morning of the 13th instant, by placing his back in an angle of the wall, and working himself by his hands and feet until he arrived at the top, where there are projecting flags. When he had reached the flags he laid hold of their edge with his hands, and raised himself up until he got his breast upon them, and by that means succeeded in getting upon the top of the wall, from which he instantly leaped to the ground, a height of about 25 feet. He made direct for Cunswick-wood, about two miles west of Kendal, where he remained all day. Search was immediately made, and the Kendal police and Lancashire rural police were placed in different directions on the look out for him. The next morning he surrendered himself, being so much in jured by the leap from the wall that he found it impossible to get away. This most astonishing and daring feat equals any one we read of in Jack Sheppard. It seemed almost impos sible that a stout man, such as Lee is, could succeed in turning himself round to get upon the flags, which project two feet and a half from the wall in a sloping direction, with the insecure hold he could have upon the wall. This, how ever, he accomplished, and we give the particulars as re counted by the unfortunate, but daring, young man himself. One of his legs is much bruised and swollen from the effects of the leap. His cap and shoes were left at the bottom of the wall in the prison. CHANCERY ACCOUNTS.—Some idea of the magnitude and importance of the operations of the Court of Chancery may be formed from the following detail. According to a state ment just completed, it appears that the balance of cash and securities placed to the credit of the various acc oun t s i n Chancery amounts to the extraordinary sum of £12,000,000 and upwards! At present the actual number of these ac counts is about 12,000; but parliament has recently deter— mined that all the accounts belonging to the Court of Ex chequer (amounting to 1,600. or thereabouts) shall be added to them. thus forming an aggregate of 13,600. For facili tating the business incidental to this great mass of accounts, such as the payment of the quarterly dividends, &c., the offices have hitherto been divided into three departments (arranged according to the letters of the plaintiff s ' names ), but we believe it is now determined to subdivid e th ese de partments into four. Great exertions are being made to carry this into effect ; and the new arrangement will, no doubt, contribute much to the expedition of business and the convenience of the suitors, so soon as the labour of closing and bringing forward into new books such a vast number of accounts (for the purpose of subdivision) shall be com pleted. The officers in Chancery-lane are undergoing ma terial alterations in order to afford accommodation for the carrying on this great increase of business.—iWorning Herald. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.--At an early hour on Sunday morning a chaise and four, containing two persons, the one apparently about 25 years of age, and the other a de licate-looking stripling of 16, drove up to the King's Head, at Brookfield. A fresh chaise and relay of horses were ordered on immediately by the travellers, the elder one urging the people of the inn to make haste, saying he carried an " express. The postboys, &c., were accordingly on the qui vice, and the " express " was quickly despatched as fast as four good horses could carry it. Twenty minutes had barely elapsed when a dark green travelling chariot, contain ing an elderly gentleman, and lady, accompanied by a man servant, dashed up to the King's Head, and the gentleman eagerly inquired whether a chaise containing a lady and gentleman had stopped there? The landlord said that a chaise in which were two gentlemen had left there a short time previously. 'This information evidently threw the party at fault, but after a few minutes' private conversation with mine host," fresh horses were ordered, and the second party followed in the wake of the first, the gentleman telling the postboys that if they succeeded in overtaking the chaise in advance, he would give them a sovereign. Between six and seven miles were speedily passed without any signs of the fugitive chaise, when, on reaching the submit of the hill above Evington, the pursuing party caught a glimpse of the chaise turning a corner of the road in the valley beneath. The ex citement of the gentleman in pursuit grew to an exceedingly high pitch at the sight; he thrust his body from the carriage window, and urged on the postilions, who spared neither whip nor spur, and the two vehicles dashed through the village of Evington to the great surprise of the good folks of the place who perceiving a couple of carriages whirled along at a railroad speed, and a respectable looking person with the greater part of his body hanging out of the window of one of them, and using the most frantic gestures imaginable, were completely at a loss to account for the extraordinary ex hibition. The pursuit continued in this fashion for nearly three miles, when the chaise came to a dead stop in conse quence of an obstruction caused by a waggon load of straw crossing the road, which enabled the pursuers to come up with the pursued, and a somewhat singular scene took place. The elderly gentleman sprang from his carriage, and rushing to the door of the chaise, commenced dragging out the younger of its occupants, at the same time using the epithets " You jade, you undutiful creature," &c. ; while the party addressed, who, it now appeared, was a lady in disguise, clung to her conipagnon de voyage, and exclaimed, with a voice nearly suffocated with sobs, "that she would not go home;" but the elderly gentleman, deaf alike to her tears and en treaties, with the assistance of his female companion and the servant, managed to drag not only the fair fugitive but her zaamorato likewise from the vehicle into the road. Here a renewed struggle took place, during which the young gentle man received an accidental blow from the servant's elbow, and . which he immediately returned by knocking the man the his arms, while the o pugnaciousthers forced gentleman, theh ut,g firmly iad down, who, however, quickly recovered his legs, and, seizing e i d s f p ro in m ion h suc ceeded in placin g her in the carriage; and, quickly following their prize, the nearest inn, whent postilions were ordered to proceed to the and helpless gallant e man-servant, who still held the enraged right." suddenly nt . in his powerful grasp till it was " all quitting the " sociable"' and the - his hold, sprang up to his seat in the scene of action, carriage . quickly disappeared from himself as best he leaving might the disparing Lothario to console Her Majesty and Prince Albert have arrived at Buckingham Palace, the place fixed upoq for her Majesty's accouchement. The next Anti-Slavery Convention in London is appointed for the month of June, 1843. The Earl and Countess de Grey have reached Dublin in afety. The Earl of Harrowby, accompanied by Viscount and Vis countess Sandon and family, have left Sandon -hall for Wales. The typographic establishment of Auguste Wahlin and 'Co., at Brussels, has been entirely destroyed by fire. Among the rumours current in the city of London is one that the old system of lotteries is about to be revived, and 'that a correspondence with the treasury has already com menced on the subject. We are happy to state that Lord Stanley is considerably better, but the noble lord is not yet sufficiently recovered to leave his house, or attend his official duties in Downing street.—Standard. The Findens intend bringing out a quarto volume contain ing a set of portraits of the beauties of Queen Victoria's court, engraved in a new style, and with poetical illustra tions. The state of the Queen is so uncertain that Mrs. Little, the nurse, has been ordered down from town to be in readi ness in case of accidents.—Cheltenham Looker-on. The Nottingham Journal states that a striped hose, after being out forty years, has again come into fashion. THE APPLE Caor.----The Cambridge Chronicle says that above twenty thousand bushels of apples have been shipped, within the last two months, from W6beach, for the North of England. Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer has all but abjured novel writ ing, owing to the indifferent success of his more recent works of fiction. He is now turning his literary attention solely to dramatic authorship. RAILWAY TO THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND.—The prelimi nary steps to obtaining a railway to Aberdeen, communica ting with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, by Strath more and Strathearn, have commenced at the northern end. —Perth Paper. The Rev. Dr. Harris, who is the author of the Prize Essay on Mammon, has just obtained another prize for the best Essay on Missions, which has been awarded to him by the Rev. H. Melville, Dr. Welch, of Edinburgh, Dr. Bunt ing, and Dr. Wardlaw. It is believed that Sir Robert Peel has a plan of church extension, in providing for the better management of the church. To effect this, it is believed that (to be paid out of the revenues at present belonging to the church) several suffragan bishops will be appointed. None of these to have seats in parliament, but to be the successors-elect to, and associates with, the present bishops.—Correspondent of the Salopian Journal, SHARMAN CRAWFORD V. REPEAL.—The hon. member for Rochdale has once more take❑ the field in opposition to the insane agitation which, providentially, is now all but confined to the meridian of the Corn-Exchange, and would but for the mischievous perseverance of its founder, have long since expired from sheer inanition. It is said that a dispute has taken place between Mr. Bentley, the publisher, and Mr. W. Harrison Ainsworth, the author, of " Crichton ;" and that the consequence will be the secession, at the end of the year, of the latter gentleman from the editorship of Bentley's Miscellany. Mr. Ainsworth has resolved on starting a new periodical in the beginning of the year. SINGULAR FACT.—A few days ago, a woman residing in the village of Stevenston, near Edinburgh, who had for some time been affected with a severe swelling in her thigh, applied to Dr. Brown, of Saltcoats, in order to get the pain alleviated. After minutely examining the swollen part, the doctor com menced to operate, and succeeded, after considerable labour, in extracting a sewing needle, about an inch and a half long, which the patient had swallowed nearly thirty years ago. RETURN OF IRISH HARVESTMEN.—During the last fort night an almost incredible number of reapers, not a few of whom belong to Connaught, have returned from harvest work in the sister kingdom by the steamers. Sometimes as many as 1000 have come in one boat. We have been assured by a gentleman who was lately in Scotland that total ab stinence was there almost universally observed by them, which, though it excited'.the admiration of their employers, caused no little inconvenience, as they had provided the usual beverage of beer for the men, which they would not taste, and milk was not to be obtained in sufficient quantities. —Londonderry Sentinel. DEXTEROUS THEFT.—On Thursday, among the passen gers by one of the railway trains from Greenock to Glasgow, was a well dressed young man, with an address and manner calculated to make an impression of a very favourable cha racter on the most fastidious. A lady sat opposite him with her face to the wind, and the weather was really cold, to whom he endeavoured to make himself especially engaging. He generously proposed to exchange. The lady, with many thanks, accepted the kind offer, and the gentleman, think ing himself entitled to some remuneration for his service, took the opportunity which the jostling unavoidable in moving from one seat to another while the train is at full speed, to relieve her of her gold watch, by cutting the chain with some instrument.—Glasgow Courier. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On the morning of Wednes day, the 6th instant, a most distressing accident occurred at Newhouses, a farm about three miles distant from Lauder. A little boy, named William Smeal, nephew to Mr. Dixon, tenant of Newhouses, had been appointed to take charge of a young stallion. Having occasion to open a gate, in order to admit some cattle, the boy tied round his body the rope by which he held the horse, in order, no doubt, to secure the animal, and at the same time have full power to remove the gate. During this process the horse took fright and ran off, dragging the poor boy at the end of his halter. When the animal stopped, the boy was taken up in a state of insensi bility, from which he never recovered. His head was severely fractured, and his body also much bruised. He survived the accident only five hours. CHARLES DICKENS, &c.—The London Correspondent of the Dundee Warder says :—As the lull in the political world is so profound as to divest politics, for a brief season, of all interest, allow me to communicate to your readers something of a literary character. I find that Mr. Dickens has an inti mation of discontinuing "The Clock," and going abroad. Your readers, however, are, I presume, unacquainted with the nature of the agreement entered into between the pub lishers and himself, at the commencement of the undertak ing. That agreement was, if my information be correct - and I believe it is—that the work should go on for three years instead of twenty months, which will now be the term of its existence : and that it should, when completed, form six goodly octavo volumes. As matters nave turned out, it will only be three volumes. The terms were to be, and have been, £5O for each weekly number, making about 1000 guineas for each volume, or 2000 guineas for Mr. Dickenk' yearly labours as author of the work. The " Clock" has very materially fallen off in sale, which is the true secret cause of its discontinuance. THE UNEMPLOYED AT PAISLEY.—We regret to state, that the number of unemployed is still on the increase, and that the depressing appearances of trade afford no other prospects than a continued increase. The following is the state of the list down to a late hour yesterday : Males, married .. Females, married Males, unmarried and widowers Children depending on the above Females, unmarried and widows Children depending on the above 620 620 166 1516 509 747 Total .. 4208 Add to the above, new applicants, who will receive _ relief for the first time to-day .. 136 Estimated number of dependants on the last men- tioned number Total number depending on Relief Committee .. 4664 Two members of the deputation for London left town on Thursday, and the other two leave to-day. A meeting of the distress committee of 1826 is expected to take place in London on Monday.--Paisley Advertiser of Saturday. FOUR LIVES LOST.—On Monday evening, at about ten minutes after seven o'clock, a most melancholy catastrophe happened on the river, near the Cadogan Chain-pier, Chel sea, when four individuals were precipitated into eternity. That being the day appointed for a rowing match to take place from Vauxhall to Putney the river was consequently crowded with boats filled with anxious and interested spec tators. Amongst others was one containing the wife, sister, and child of the waterman Coombes, and a female named Goodrum, the wife of the waterman, the two successful com petitors for the race. After the race was over, sand the time arrived for the parties to return to London, the boat was en trusted to two youths, who were to row the three women and child from Putney home. When the boat neared the Cado gan-pier it Was carried by the force of the current, the tide having been exceedingly high, against the "dummy," a barge attached to the pier, which it struck with much vio lence. One of the females instantly sprang from her seat, and it was this imprudent act which caused the boat to upset. The two youths saved themselves by clinging to the barge ; but, melancholy to relate, all the rest were carried along with the stream, and sank before assistance could be afforded them. THE WEALTHY MISER.—The sale of the furniture of the late Mr. Smith, of Great St. Andrew-street, Seven Dials, took place on Friday. The interest excited by the event in so populous a neighbourhood caused such a rush of people to the house as to render necessary the interference of the police to preserve order. The lots were, as may be supposed, of an ordinary description, but realized extravagant prices, owing to a prevalent idea among the buyers that they con tained hidden treasures. The story of the fortunate man who recently bought a pair of old shoes, in which lay con cealed a number of bank-notes, contributed in no small de gree to promote this delusion. The library of the deceased consisted of a few sacred volumes, of which the Bible an nounced in the catalogue was not forthcoming. The late Mr. Smith used to attend Whitfleld's chapel, in Tottenham-court road. The sister, who acted as housekeeper to him, enjoyed an income of £1 per week, not from the liberality of her brother, but by the right of her father's will, who died many many years ago. She has long laboured under an imbecile state of mind. Until within a very few years Mr. Smith used to labour actively at the forge, which his father had left him, together with upwards of £20,000; but latterly his toil was restricted to the supply of the locks, bars, bells, &c., required at the various houses in Mornington-place and else where. Mr. Smith was, in the strictest sense of the word, a miser. He was of the Phineas Phiddy school, and formed a striking illustration of the degree of wealth to which a man ma) attain by regarding self in every moment and movement in life. Mr. Smith is supposed to have died worth £200,000. It is said that his funeral expenses, though moderate, would have swallowed up his expenditure for three years while living.—Times. A very extraordinary and interesting circumstance hap pened during the last week in connection with the operation now going on upon the Royal George, at Spithead, under the direction of Col. Pasley. Amongst other relics brought up from " the deep waters," from the wreck of that unfortunate ship, was the collar of a dog, with the name of the owner, Thomas Little, as well as that of the animal, " Victory," en graved upon it. It appears that this coll ar h as b een recog nised by one of the oldest inhabitants of the town as the pro perty of his father, who was one of the many on board that vessel at the time she went down, but w h o , more f ortunate than a number of his ill-fated compa n i ons, was save d f rom a wa t e ry grave, although his faithful an i ma l per i s h e d . T he p ar ty in question is named John Little, who has been 1011. ' % known as the own e r of a p a s sa g e boat which plies between Portsmouth and Vie ootton-bridge, in the Isle of Wight, and whose brother was during the long peri o d of thi r ty years i n the Customs at this port, but is now in Liverpool. The aunt Little, Mrs. Harding, is also a resident in this town, and knew the dog well, from its being a constant visitor at her mother's house. A sister of Captain Little is also living, who is named after the three wives of the father—viz., Mary Ann Eleanor, one of whom was on board the Royal George with her husband, and who was picked up dead a few days after that melancholy event. Thomas had twenty-three •hildren, three only of whom are now in existence. He sailed with the present Captain Burford, hyd rograp h er t o th e Admiralty, in the Phaeton frigate, then commanded by Cap tain—now Admiral—Stopford, the hero of Acre. Little was then boatswain, and was present at the action of Admiral Cornwallis, as well as in several other engagements, and sharing the died in the Phaeton during the command of Captain Stop ford. We are informed that the present John Little has ap plied to Colonel Pasley for the collar as aunlrepsttoinvigarieltliicai experienced re extraordinaryn,ced from . escapeand a reminiscen cewhich hi melan choly fate so many met .vith in that ship ; .and Nye are happy to hear that the application . has been complied with in a man ner which does infinite credit to the feeling heart of Colonel Pasley, inasmuch as thousands .would be proud in possessing sfatheorf the slightest material which might be recovered from the wreck at any price.—Hampslitre Standgrd. On Wednesday, Court of plrectors *as held at the East India House, when the Right Hon. Lord Ellenborough was appointed Governor-General of India. NElv PE Eas.—lt is believed that several new Peers will be created in November. In addition to those before alluded to, it is said that Sir George Murray (Master-General of the Ordnance) will be called to the House of Lords ; and that Sir Charles Coote. Sir Francis Burdett, and Sir John Ge rard, will also have peerages. Mr. Bushe, Chief Justice of Ireland, will probably have a peerage, on his expected resig nation ; and it is said that Doctor Lefroy, the Irish barrister, will also have a coronet —Age. WHALE CAPTURE.—On Wednesday a large whale ran ashore and got fixed in a fissure of the rock at the projecting point on the north side of Bsoadhaven, about a mile north of the bay of Wick. The monster of the deep was observed by some people fishing " cuddens" in a boat near the head. The alarm was instantly given, and many on shore hastily armed themselves with old swords and other lethal weapons, and immediately commenced an attack on the helpless animal. After a good deal of exertion they succeeded in killing it. The animal, which measured upwards of 76 feet long, was claimed by Mr. James Bremner, on behalf of the Vice-Admiral of the county, and the broad arrow cut on its back. in the forenoon it was towed round to the curing station at Eliza, and sold by public roup. The sum realized was £Bo.—John o' Groat Journal. AN INGENIOUS SMUGGLER.—The following clever MSC is related by the Droii :—" A few days ago a Belgian smug gler, whose horse and its contraband lading had been seized by the Custom-house officers of Ais-en-Artois, went to them and proposed for a reward to lead them to a spot where they would be able to effect an extensive seizure of tobacco, making it a condition, however, that as he was known to the smug glers he should, for bis personal security, go with them in disguise. The precaution appearing to be a proper one, the uniform of a Custom-house officer was lent to him, and he was mounted on a horse to accompany the two officers, also on horseback, who were to make the seizure. On arriving at the inn in the village of Hermies he said he was afraid to go further, lest he should be recognized, bnt pointed out a barn at some distance, where he said the tobacco was lying, and told them that be would wait for them. They all put up their horses in the stable of the inn, and the two officers proceded on foot to make their capture. During their ab sence the smuggler saddled the best horse of the three and rode off with it. It is needless to state that the officers lost a horse without finding any tobacco." CALCULATING BOY.—Among the many boys employed for the different purposes of calculation on the Ordnance survey of Ireland, there is at present one named Alexander Gwin, only eight years old, and a native of Derry, whose abilities at his early age are truly surprising. He has got by rote the fractional logarithims from 1 to 1,000, which he will repeat in regular rotation, or otherwise, as the interrogator may put the questions. It is certainly astonishing to think so tender a mind can retain with such tenacity and correct ness seven figures of an answer (according to their different variations) for 1,000 numbers. His rapidity and correctness in the various calculations of trigonometrical distances, trian gles, &c., are amazingly beyond snything we have ever wit nessed. He can in less than one minute make a return in acres, roods, perches, &c., of any quantity of land, by giving him the surveyor's chained distances, while the greatest arithmetician, with all his knowledge, will certainly take nearly an hour to do the same, and not be certain of truth in the end. MOTION.—The common watch, it is said, beats or ticks 17,160 times an hour. This is 411,840 a day, 150,424,560 a year, allowing the year to be 365 days and six hours. Some times watches will run, with care, 100 years. In that case it would last to beat 15,042,456,000 times ! The watch is made of hard metal ; but I can tell you of a curious machine which is made of something not so hard as brass or steel—it is not much harder than the flesh of your arm—yet it will beat more than 5,000 times an hour, 120,000 times a day, and 43,830,000 times a year. It will sometimes, though not often, last 100 years; and when it does, it beats 4,383,000,000 times. One might think this last machine, soft as it is, would wear out sooner than the other, but it does not. I will tell you one thing more. You have this little machine about you. You need not feel in your pocket, for it is not there. It is in your body, you can feel it beat; it is—your heart. WARLIKE APPEARANCES.—PORTSMOUTH. — The number of ships fitting for sea, and the general call for seamen to man them, is greater than we ever recollect, certainly quite equal to anything of the sort during the late war. The whole neighbourhood of - the Dock-yard and Common Hard presents the appearance of one continued placard. Every ship has its bill or placard—and, as though this were not enough, the Admiralty caused one to be exhibited at the Dock-gates, which to a sailor has all the appearance of a " round robin"—no less than 18 or 20 ships being enume rated as requiring bands. The placard alluded to is to ordi nary seamen, landmen, and stout boys—who are informed that they may have employment in any of the ships enume rated—or may be entered for " general service." Those who have been engaged in boats, b - arges, or small craft, are particularly invited. Yet amid all this, we are assured, on good authority, that men are slow in entering. We hope, for the sake of humanity, that the energies of this nation are not likely to be called into operation in warlike conflict; yet what are we to suppose is the cause of all this ? We readily concede the point, that, to prevent war, it is proper to be always prepared for it, and would fain hope that the demon stration now made may end in peace. War at all times en tails a vast amount of misery and expense—at the preeent time it would prove almost ruinous.—Hampshire Indepen dent. SALTS AS A MANURE.—The rapidity with which dis solved salt of any kind passes down through the earth, espe cially in light soils, makes it important to consider the best time of putting on the salt as manure i.e., that at which the salt is most likely to be taken up by the roots, or to produce in the soil the chemical combination required ; and also the quantity which it is expedient to put on at one time. Thus, it would seem, if the salt is speedily worked down below the reach of the roots, it would be proper to put it on when the plant is growing, or at a time when the combination necessary would be perfected, before the plant begins to grow ; and next it is important to ascertain the rate at which salt is worked down, for if it is soon out of the reach of the plant, it is clear that only a small quantity at a time should be put on. It is well known that gravel-walks, which have been salted to kill the weeds, are soon covered with grass, the in fluence lasting but for a short time, the salt being washed down away from the surface. It is important to try some experiments as to the passing down of salts : large barrels might be filled with mould, and the salt put on, in different quantities, and exposed to the rain, &c. ; portions of the earth at different dr-nth might I,‘: drawn out, and it could be ascertained, by tests, the time the salts took in reaching to one foot, two feet, three feet, &c. The subject has not yet been considered by agricultural experimentalists.—Gar deners' Chronicle. ELOPEMENT IN HUMBLE LlFE.—Last Wednesday, a per son respectably attired in the garb of a Quaker, arrived by the two o'clock Liverpool train, and immediately ordered a " fly" of Mr. Clewlow, jun., of this town. The Quaker directed the driver (Mr. Clewlow) to proceed to Eccleshall, and on arriving at that place, to go on to the village of Ellen hall. 'When at the latter place, Mr. Clewlow was somewhat surprised at being ordered to drive to the door of a cottage, sod by observing sundry symptoms of a love affair, for the Quaker was instantly recognised by a fair and as it appears, frail one, and a very amorous greeting occurred. After re maining for about 10 minutes (during which it turns out the preliminaries for the flight were all arranged), the chaise was ordered on to " the 'Wicket" public house, where horse and man were well entertained at the expense of the broad-brimmed gallant. The chaise being once more in motion, had not proceeded far, when the driver was or dered to " pull up," and " take up" the identical female he had seen a short time before at the village. The loving pair were then driven on to the station here, and booked themselves for Birmingham the same evening. Next day brought an explanation of the mysterious business. An honest disciple of Vulcan, with rueful countenance, came in search of his wife, whom he had only taken " for better for worse" on the preceding Monday morning, thus having en joyed the sweets of matrimony for two w h o le days ! It ap pears that the female received, during the week, two or three letters from Liverpool, where she had recently been living in service, and informed her loving husband, that they were from a former lover, whose heart she had broken by rejecting his addresses; being asked why she had been so cruel, she replied " it was all on account of a difference in religion, he being a Quaker !" The young woman possesses, we under stand, considerable personal attractions. The husband, who is an honest industrious man, is well known in this town. He has not yet received any tidings as to the whereabouts of the guilty pain—Staffordshire Gazette. NEW SOUTH WALES.—The state of money and commer cial affairs had not improved since the last advices, as was too rapidly anticipated. Statements of the position of the various joinnt-stock banks are given in these papers, which on their face appear to be sufficiently satisfactory, but in the midst of so much commercial ruin all around them it can hardly be expected . they will e scape sco t f re e, and the more especially so as by their former too great facility in discounts they must have laid themselves under heavy responsibilities, and therefore subject to the chance, in such times of diffi culty, of considerable loss b y unfortunate traders who had " gone ahead" far beyond th e i r means and the resources legi timately at their disposal. The sudden curtailment of dis counts, though rendered indispensable from a just regard ' to the stability and interests of these banking institutions, would, of course, add for a time at least, to their own da mage and insecuriety, by bringing to a stand-still and some , thing like a forced liquidation such industrial concerns as had traded beyond their capitals, or without any at all had sprung up in the times of overflowing credit and embarked in specu lations of a magnitude but peril which might showily advance their claims to a large participation in the open-handed facilities afforded by banks too anxious to extend the sphere of their operations and accumulate all the profit possible for swelling the dividends to proprietors, and enhancing the premiums in banking shares. It it is probable, and should be so provided for by all interested as far as possible, that the disastrous condition of trade and money affairs in New South Wales may not speedily be righted, and rather that as it has been the gradual effect of over-excited trade and specu lation ; it can hardly fail to take as much time to recover it self as previously to get into excess and derangement. FRIGHTFUL ADVENTURE OF SKINNER'S HORSE IN THE BOLAN PASS.—CAMP, QUETTA, MAY 10, 1841.—0 n the following evening we made a march of six miles to Sir-i- Bolan, where we passed the night, intending to march to Dust i-Budowlut (18 miles) in the morning ; but finding the party, men and animals, much fatigued with their previous exer tions, I finally determined to give them till the afternoon to recruit themselves. We started, therefore, at one, P. at., and had gone about two miles, when it came on to rain, though not heavily. We had now reached the narrowest part of the pass, not more than twenty or thirty yards wide, and I had sent on 1000 Suwars, the camel-men, and all the baggage, with instructions to keep close together, and was bringing up the rear, with about eighty horse, when, just as I entered the narrow pass, and came to a turn, I saw a body of water, about a foot deep, rushing round another turn with tremendous force, and immediately after another wave full three feet higher. On the right and left there were no means of escape, the rocks being per pendicular ; so we went to the right about, and galloped back, just reaching an accessible place as the water was upon us. Tile stream now rolled past with awful velocity, and rapidly increased to ten feet in depth ; then came a dreadful scene —men, horses, camels, &c., were swept past us, and dashed to pieces against projecting rocks, over which the water flew twenty feet high. No assistance could be af forded, fot the stream ran faster than a horse could gallop. I stood upon the bank quite horror-struck for I be lieved that every one a—head of us had perished. In a few minutes the destruction was complete, and we felt like me n cast upon a desert island, without a particle of food, wet to the skin, a cold cutting wind blowing upon ua, and no means, from the nature of the country, of ascertaining the extent of our loss ; as, until the water went down, all com munication with any of the party who might have been saved was completely out off. About sunset the water had nearly subsided, and I then found how matters stood, the loss of life was 33 men and 101 animals. We passed a miserable night ; but no more rain fell, and in the morning we pushed on to one of our outports, which is about eight miles from Dust-i-Budowlut, and about an equal distance from our camp. Two officers of the Madras engineers, who were with us, have lost everything they had, and the Ri sallans have been ruined ; nor can they replace the things lost here. We trusted to recover some of the property in the morning before starting, but found very little ; for, such was the force of the stream that the matchl ock s belonging to the men drow ne d h a d t h e 'barrels broken in two, and some of the bodies were found by the dawkmen at Beebee Narree, twenty miles below the spot where the accident occurred. The only people in the torrent who were saved happened at the time it met them to be ilea; a place where they could scramble up. All the company's camels but six were lost.

LOCAL NEWS. The following is a brief statement of the late important affairs, drawn up by a caterer for the Chinese public. It is interesting, as it shows the ideas prevalent among the bulk of the people regarding what so recently took place, and is on the whole tolerably correct. The account of matters sent up to Court, however, will be widely different from this : " On the first day of the present (4th) moon, during the third watch (Friday, 21st of May, 11 to 1 midnight), the great Generals, Yihshan, &c., ordered the officers and soldiers from every encampment to take fire-rafts and fire-ships, and attack the rebellious foreigners lying at anchor in the Tai wongkaou (Macao passage). The battle lasted till daylight, during which time several boats belonging to the foreign ships were burned, seven devil's imps (foreigners) were taken alive, several tens of them were killed, and a part of the company's hong was destroyed. The gates of the city were kept most strictly shut, and the people were not allowed to pass out and in. "On the 2d day (Saturday, May 22), at 10 o'clock, the devil'steamse ), im ps embarked on board a fire - ship (Nem esis and sailed up to Neisheng (near Ssangpoo), where they made use of fi re - arrows ( roc k e t s ) an d g re at guns, with which they attacked and smashed Neisheng, and burned several tens of carrying vessels. " On the 3tl day (Sunday, May 23) the devils were early off the Fa-tee creek(thewhere they seized and carried off seve ral passage-bo a t s 12,o se mm w e e n re ced fo a r s t i h m e nl c t o an n e v o ey o a s n a ce ttn o o f k the on s troops).

Thus, w heth o er r b s y c t h l r a o n or by water, the devil's im p s took possession of all u places. Towards evening the Hong merchants and linguists begged his worship, Yu, the Kwangchowloo, to meet Elli ot, and treat for peace. Elliot wanted them to pay the price o f the opium, 6,000,000 dols., and limited seven days, W i th i n which the full amount was to be paid, when his war-ships should leave the Bocca Tigris ; and he also insisted upon th e island of Hongkong. Just now the great General (Yihshan) has consented to the payment of the stipulated sum of 6,000,000 ; and on the ith day (T hursday, 27th of May) he delivered 1,000,000 to account. Reg arding the question of the territory, we must wait till he has made a due memorial to the Emperor on the subject, and got his commands, when he will be able finally to decide. on the Bth day (Friday, 28th of May) the city gates 9 -veil a in opened. and people allowed to paps out and in , /I) 2 r A ~T 4ii . \_' ►T•M Olyipping TUESDAY, OCTOBER IC —Wind N.W.. blowing fresh ArtatvEn.—Whitehaven, ----•, from Trinidad—South America, Bailey. from New York—Sarah, , and Palestine, from Quebec—and Brilliant.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 21 The market for Butter has become very brisk, and prices are fully 2s higher;-96s having been refused for 1,000 firkins of Belfast deliverable here next week. There had, it appears, been an upward determination in the minds of holders for some time pre vious to the present period; and it is entirely confirmed, by the unseasonably winter aspect of the weather',—yesterdayand today. BIRMINGHAM CORN - MARKET. OCT. 20 During the present week few transactions are reported in Wheat, the enhanced prices demanded having had the effect of checking sales both of English and foreign. Malting Barley has fully sup ported former rates, with an increased demand ; in grinding no alteration. Beans and grinding Peas held with much firmness, and few of the latter on the market. Old Oats maintain their value, but for new some reduction has been submitted to. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, OcT. 19. There was a large supply of Wheat and Oats at market this day. Lower rates were submitted to. Oatmeal sold freely at the im provement of Friday. Bakers' Flour commands a free sale at our quotations; inferiors and thirds very scarce. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 18 The supply of English Wheat is again moderate. and the millers, being bare of stock, submitted to a further advance of is per qr. There was rather more doing in foreign at prices fully equal to our currency of this day se'nnight. The best malting Barley continues in request at the same prices ; inferior qualities are very unsale able. White Peas are is dearer; maple and grey remain unaltered in value. New and old Beans sell at rather more money. The Oat trade is no better. OCTOBER 23 Our market this morning has been moderately attended, and the business transacted, either in English or foreign• Wheat, hae been to a limited extent. but prices are held firmly at Monday's quota. Lions. No alteration in Barley, Beans or Pease. Oats are a dull sale. BELFAST CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 19 We have had another week of very wet boisterous weather, and almost no grain has been secured since last week, and what now remains in the fields must be in quite a losing state. Farmers' Wheat in fair supply, the quality continues inferior, and yet prices have advanced 6d per cwt. ; in parcels nothing yet doing. Foreign withont change. Barley is very free of sale, Bere has been sold at £7 58 per ton, and for a small cargo of prime Dundrum Barley £7 12s 6d per ton, was offered and refused, free on board there. Malt 27s to 2gs per barrel of 1701bs. New Oats meet a ready sale at prices the turn dearer. Old not much inquired for, but prices are firm. Oatmeal in good supply, and for which there is but a moderate demand at 2d per cwt. under the rates of this day se'nnight. HULL CORN MARKET, OCT. 19 The arrivals of all grain except Barley are very trifling from abroad during the past week, and as the duties on all other grain having so far advanced, will preclude any further import of con sequence this Autumn, there has been a fair business passing in Wheat during the week, and at full prices. The supply of farmers' Wheat for this day's market is only moderate, and the condition of the bulk offering is very indifferent, some so much so as to re quire kiln drying before it can be either used or stored; the few fine dry samples are freely taken at is per qr. more money—but ou the secondary runs, no alteration can be noted in value. Old foreign fully support prices. More enquiry for spring corn ; and Oats, Beans, Barley, and peas command a trifling advance on last week—but not much doing in them. The weather has been very wet, rain more or less every day, which materially affects the operation of the farmer in preparing the land and getting the seed into the ground. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 19 Our market possesses no new feature to-day—the demand has been general ; and the announcement of the anxiously looked for steamer being off Holyhead has suspended further operations till the nature of her intelligence is known. The quantity sold to-day is estimated at from 2000 to 3000 bales, a few hundred (some say 500) of them on speculators' ac count. Prices without change from yesterday. COTTON MARKET, OCTOBER 20 Although the excitement (consequent upon the supposed ciritical state of our relations with America) has for the present subsided, yet the demand for Cotton is very general and good. The trade are willing buyers at late prices. but on the whole decline giving the advance of id quoted on Monday. Holders now offer their stocks more freely, and fully 5,000 bales have been sold, principally con sisting of American descriptions, a few hundred to speculators. COTTON MARKET, OCTOBER 21 Our market is rather quieter to-day, and the amount of business is not estimated at more than 3,500 to 4,000 bales without any change in prices. Speculators have been in the market to-day, and have operated to the extent of 1,000 bales. The accounts of the coming crop are far from satisfactory, and the opinions must be premature, yet the fact that it will only be an average one will tend to keep the market steady at present prices. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 19 . The arrivals into this port since the 12th instant contain a good supply of Wheat coastwise and from Ireland, includ ing a moderate quantity, of Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal from the latter source ; the receipts from abroad during the same period, comprising little more than 2000 qrs. of Wheat and 800 qrs. Beans from Europe, with 4467 brls. of States and Canadian Flour as specified below. The Wheat trade to-day opened with an `improved feeling on the part of holders, and for all descriptions of Foreign somewhat higher prices were required ; but, notwithstanding the continuance of unfavourable weather, the anticipations formed could not be realised, and the sales, altogether, pro ceeded rather slowly, without the least amendment upon the rates of this day se'nnight : home-grown Wheat, on the contrary, was more saleable, and prime samples, which were more plentiful than heretofore, rather exceeded our last quotations, the general runs of Irish remaining dull, on the reduced terms of Friday. English and Irish Flour supported late prices • and foreign, although not in lively request, was 6d per barrel dearer. Barley, upon a limited supply, maintained its former value ; and Malt of fine quality obtained an advance of is per quarter. Beans appeared to attract some inquiry, and Egyptian commanded an improvement of 6d to is per 2401b5. Pease were also held on rather higher terms. Oats exciting little notice, merely supported late prices.— Oatmeal, attended with a m oderatei demand, and not being offered freely, realised 6d per 2401bs over the currency of this day se'nnight.
