Its home truths are susceptible of being tested by the most ordinary observer. They actually stare us in the face in every street in every town and village throughout the The vie us of the writer are expressed in the title of his nd we shall therefore not enter into them at length, extracts, to enable him to speak for preferring, by a f himself. " SMALL PROFITS AND QUICK RETURNS."—THE CUT TING SYSTEM.—In every trade, in every town, there are individuals whom we can deem little better than swindlers, whose object is wealth by the short cut of speculation, and whose views are concealed, in some instances, we are ready ve, even from themselves, under the specious maxim " small profits and quick returns." The sole business of a man of this class seems to be a reckless rage for under . Determined to engross some entire branch of busi ness to himself, he lowers prices below the sums which yield a profit. Others must do the like, or yield their customers to him. If a contract is advertised, he puts in tenders at prices at which it never can be honestly executed. Sales are effected at positive losses, rather than not at all. If such a speculator's purse is long, or he can obtain sufficient credit, all competitors may be run off the field, and, when he has accomplished this philanthropic purpose, he flatters himself that he may at his leisure recover the losses he has sustained. selling During his operations, all fair traders are at a stand, or sink ing helplessly by such reckless and wicked proceedings. If the speculator succeeds, he has the satisfaction of rearing a lid fortune on the ruins of his neighbours. This, how- The common termination is, s very rarely the case, that he becomes a bankrupt , is soon whitewashed, and upon his legs again, to pursue the same, or some more reckless course, in some other, or perhaps even in the same district— thus ruining every one around him, without the slightest permanent benefit to himself. THE KITE-FLYING SYSTEM —We will now take another case, which is frequently practised, but it requires some tact and address A. person, with so little as £lOO only, enters into business, takes large premises, commences some manu facture, or, more commonly, the business of a general merchant, dealing in everything he can get credit for. Upon the strength of his appearance and address he obtains credit to the amount of some £3OO or £400; is careful to pay his small bills, and keeps up an appearance of respectability. Turning his 1100 or £4OO into goods, he sells them under price, at a loss of five, ten, or even twenty per cent., to ob tain ready money to go on with, and take up his bills as they become d As long as he can increase his business, he can augment his credit, and inveigle others who have means to join him ; and, if a real genius, may contrive to fail for not less than from £50,000 to £lOO,OOO, having lived all the while like a nobleman, and reserved, perhaps, a handsome competence, either to retire upon or recommence upon a larger scale. How INSOLVENCY IS MANAGED.—It is true, that these men almost invariably stop, not once or twice, but several times ; and it is also a fact, that they generally terminate in destitution and beggary. But to the uninitiated it is surpris ing how they can, time after time, resume a station in society. Yet it is by no means a very difficult matter. Upon the first stoppage, a composition is generally attempted. A deed, by which a dividend is offered, is carried about by a solicitor, with the threat of " this or none : if the dividend be not accepted, all will be swallowed up in law." And so, by secret payments in full to a few refractory creditors, he pretty well gets through. By some contrivance or other he generally finds his way into his old works, and begins anew, with the advantage of having his works already erected without expense. The same reckless course, in a few years, generally brings on the same result : a composition is often tried again. Some other person, in as showy a way of busi ness as the unfortunate, comes forward and undertakes to guarantee the payment of the new dividend, and to give bills for it at distant dates. And there is not unfrequently held s additional inducement—that unless the creditor comes into the arrangement, and takes the dividend, there must be bankruptcy, in which case probably all the old debts will be brought in upon the present assets, and consequently not a farthing in the pound. ADULTERATION. --This is an universal complaint, and it is a disgrace to England. There is scarcely an article sold that is not adulterated, with the exception of the raw produce of the laud ; nor is that always free : bread, milk, tea, coffee, wine, medicine, silks, cotton, clothing of every kind, hard ware, coals—everything, in short, is adulterated; not only for t - - foreign, but for the home market also. If ever there was an adulterous generation, this is one. Some years ago Mr. Accum published a work called " There is Death upon the Pot," in which he exhibits the analysis of every article of food, and proves—by no means to the satisfaction, but to the disgust of every reader—that there is no article of food whirl' is not adulterated with some deleterious mixture. In medicine its results have been fearful ; and we believe, in many instances, verdicts of manslaughter, at least, ought to have ' n returned against the venders of drugs, who have ibatituted cheap, though harmless, for more expensive arti les. It is reported that the deaths of needy half a ship's ompany are to be laid at the door of such a person, who, in he medicine chests he sold, had presumed to save a few pence by the substitution of sulphate of barytes for calomel.* But how is the honest trader to meet this ? His customers tell him that they can get the same goods cheaper elsewhere. He cannot analyze them, to show the adulteration •, and he finds that, in many instances, he must either lose his cus tomer, or adopt the same practices. To take an example. Competition has brought the prices of soft sugars down so low, that the only profit that the fair retailer can make upon them is in the weight of the paper, which, by custom, is al ways weighed in with the sugar ; so that, by selling a pound of paper with the due proportion of sugar, he gains the dif ference between the price of the sugar and the paper—some where about a shilling in the hundred weight. There is, in fact, no other profit to be gained, unless by adulteration. On this a--- mit it is that many houses of the highest respectabi refuse to sell sugar to any parties but those who take of them their tea, coffee, and other groceries. But what a trifling defence is this against the dishonest trader, who, by mixing with his sugar the dregs of the soap-boilings, which are regularly prepared fer the purpose,t can not only under sell his rivals, but derive a handsome remuneration for his dishonesty. . - So Ingenio us i s the adulteration of many goods, that it can be detected only by ; so palpable is it, and to such allaYils. In other instances, h an extent, that I hesitate not to affirm, that, if Government_ r n . would employ some scientific chemists to inspect the goods they purchase, they would , anrsands a year. effect a saving of very many But all this competition at le. the consequent reduction of 'ces, it may be said, is, , for the benefit of the con s, This I deny.

By Mrs. Ellis. Fisher, Son Dat Fin ennobling feature in the character of the female sof Great Britain in the present day, that, wit tion, their best energies have been devoted of virtue, religion, and morality. Whilst our )opular and talented male writers have too often not ed to pander to the depraved tastes of the popular and have filled our modern literature with vulgar hor nith the portraitures of sentimental cut-throats and sting ruffians—whilst the sympathies of the young and portion of the reading public have been eagerly en in behalf of the Paul Cliffords, the Eugene Arams, the ;h eo p ar d s , and other similar worthies, whose fitting re cord fvas the Newgate Calendar, and whose fitting monument was in the execration of posterity—the g en i us of our female authors has been sedulously devoted to the development of ly an ex tha brighter more lovtlv phases of tha ht;f4au mind Ito paint ti flawarz and the bright I:erbage which adorn the path of la —to lead the mind of youth and age to the glad dening waters of innocence and virtue, of elevating thought and refreshing purity, rather than to drag them to the con- temptation of degrading crime and devastating passion Amongst the foremost of those talented ladies who have thus " chosen the better part" in the field of literary exer- tion, the authoress of the work before us is deserving of ho- nourable mention Mrs. Ellis has not devoted herself to the effort to startle us into admiration of genius perverted ; she has taken no bold flight into the regions of poetry or she has neither descended to become the literary sweeper of the scandal and frivolities of the boudoir or the drawing-room. And yet she evidently possesses talent and cultivation of mind sufficient to enable her to shine in these, the more popular and remunerating walks of authorship. But from the quiet thoughtfulness of her own heart she has poured forth a succession of elegant and instructive volumes, which, we trust, are destined to find their way and to carry the pure enjoyment and happiness, which a strict attention to their teachings will ensure, to the bosom of many an English Amongst the productions of her pen we have already been favoured with " The Women of England, their Social Duties and Domestic Habits," " Summer and Winter in the Pyrennees," " Hints to those who would make Home happy," " Sons of the Soil," " Fisher's Juvenile Scrap Book," &c., in all of which is breathed a spirit and a use fulness which entitle her to our warmest approbation. "The Daughters of England" is well worthy of the pre vious reputation of the amiable authoress ; and we can with confidence recommend it as a manual of sound practical wis dom, admirably calculated to assist in developing and form ing, in the best and most lovely mould, the female mind. To some, perhaps, it may at first sight appear that Mrs. Ellis is too much of a precisian ; that in the system of educational and ;mental training which she points out to the acceptance of the daughters of England, the useful, the solid, and the reli gious attributes of the female character are placed in too great prominence, whilst ornamental and fashionable accom plishments are weighed too slightingly. Such may be the first impressions of many readers ; but highly as the author ess evidently and deservedly values the former, an attentive perusal of her present work will, vie are confident, be suffici ent to dispel the misunderstanding, which webave only alluded to from a conviction how dangerous a bar to the proper ap- romance .eciation of the instructions of any monitor is an erroneous first impression. As an example of the style in which our authoress treats her subject, we had marked several passages for quotation. We must be content, however, with the following from the chapter entitled—" Beauty, Health, and Temper." " Those who are accustomed to enlightened views on this subject, will know also that there arc different kinds of per sonal beauty, amongst which, that of form and colouring holds a very inferior rank. There is a beauty of expression, for instance, of sweetness, of nobility, of intellectual refine ment, of feeling, of animation, of meekness, of resignation, and many other kinds of beauty, which may all be allied to the plainest features, and yet may remain to give pleasure long after the blooming cheek has faded, and silver gray has mingled with the hair. And how far more powerful in their influence upon others, are some of these kinds of beauty ! for, after all, beauty depends more upon the movements of the face, than upon the form of the features when at rest ; and thus, a countenance habitually under the influence of amiable feelings acquires a beauty of the highest order, from the frequency with which such feelings are the originating cause of the movements or expressions which stamp their character upon it. " Who has not waited for the first opening of the lips of a celebrated belle, to see whether her claims would be sup ported by " "fhe mind, the music breathing from her face ; and who has not occasionally turned away repelled by the utter blank, or worse than blank, which the simple move ment of the mouth, in speaking or smiling, has revealed ? " The language of poetry describes the loud laugh as in dicative of the vulgar mind ; and certainly there are expres sions, conveyed even through the medium of a smile, which need not Lavater to inform us that refinement of feeling, or elevation of soul, have little to do with the fair countenance on which they are impressed. On the other hand, there are plain women sometimes met with in society, every movement of whose features is instinct with intelligence ; who, from the genuine heart-warm smiles which play about the mouth, the sweetly modulated voice, and the lighting up of an eye that looks as if it could comprehend the universe,' become perfectly beautiful to those who understand them, and still more so to those who live with them, and love them. Before such pretensions to beauty as these, how soon do the pink and white of a merely pretty face vanish into nothing!" The Asiatic Journal. February, 1842. London : W. H. Allen and Co., Leadenhall-street. To those readers who are interested in the condition and prospects of our Eastern possessions, the Asiatic Journal presents an invaluable mass of information ; and the number before us is certainly not inferior to any of its predecessors. In particular, its " Review of Eastern News" is an ably digested document, conveying in a succinct and intelligible form tilt stibat ince of the occurrences in India and China up to t! e arriv.il of the last mail ; and had we not already given to our readers at sufficient length the same intelligence, we should be glad to avail ourselves of this article entire. The light articles are very pleasingly written, and convey in a very attractive form admirable pictures of the state of Bri tish society in the East. The " Memoirs of a Griffin " es pecially are equal to the best of our magazine literature. The political articles are also ably written, and by all who take an interest in colonial affairs ought to be attentively perused. Remarks on 31,. M` Culloeh's " Statement" illustrative of a Fixed Duty on Foreign Corn. By James Carmichael. W. Blackwood and Sons, London and Edinburgh. 1842. The author of the pamphlet before us is a practical man and a farmer ; and, although a little ultra in his notions of the amount of protection required by the agricultural inte rest, his opinions, and the facts and reasonings by which he supports them, are well worthy of consideration ; whilst his mode of dealing with his subject presents a contrast with the unreasoning, declaiming, dogmatising flippancy resorted to by the opponents of native agriculture, which is highly com plimentary to the class to which he belongs. If the claims put forward on a recent occasion by the Lincolnshire far mers, and supposed to be to some extent embodied in the proposed motion of Mr. Christopher, may be considered as those of the agricultural body in England, those put forward in this pamphlet by Mr. Carmichael may be taken to be the claims of the agriculturists north of the Tweed ; and on that ground alone, if they possessed no other merit, which in fact they do, are entitled to a share of public consideration at this important crisis. The protection which Mr. Carmichael appears to think should be accorded to the British agriculturist commences at 218. when the average price in the market is 605., and is decreased by a scale sliding progressively, until, at 735. and above, the duty is reduced to Is. With a view to prove that the home grower is entitled to this or something like this protection, and at all events that a fixed duty of either ss. or Bs. is at once ruinous to the farmer and unjust, he has collected a quantity of valuable statistical data, which are well worthy of being maturely weighed. We need scarcely state, that our own opinions upon the qUestion under consideration are favourable to a lower protection than is contended for by the pamphleteer. We think that he has underrated, on the one hand, the increasing productive power of British agri culture, and overrated, on the other hand, the ability of the foreign grower to supply this country permanently with any large quantity of grain at the low rates which he quotes as those of past years. Yet still a fund of useful information, combined with sound practical views, is embodied in his re marks ; and we can, therefore, with confidence recommend the pamphlet before us to the notice of our readers. The Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland illustrated. Lon don : published by G. Virtue. The Ninth Part of this truly beautiful work is now pub lished, illustrative of some of the finest scenery and anti quities of the far-famed Killarney and Kilkenny. The en gravings (we may remind the reader) are from drawings made expressly for the work, by W. H. Bartlett, and en graved by several of the most distinguished artists of the day—Wallis, Cousin, Willmore, Brandard, Adlard, and others. The subjects are not only judiciously chosen, but in point of drawing and execution, are of the first order as works of art, each engraving being, in truth, a perfect gem. Two of them in the present number, in particular, may challenge competition with the finest productions in line en gravings of the age, rich and prolific as it has of late years been in pictorial represefitations. " The Meeting of the Waters," in the Vale of Avoca, by Bentley, and " The Old Weir Bridge—" Killarney," by Richardson, are embodi ments of all that is delightful, varied, and romantic, in landscape scenery ; justify all that has been said or sung in their behalf by the bard and the historian, and cannot be gazed upon without conjuring up the most gratifying associa tions, and rousing an aspiration to behold those realities of which they present a semblance so faithful and attractive. " The Cathedral of St. Canice," (by Carter) a splendid and picturesque pile, on a hill crowned with noble trees ; and " The Interior of Cashel Abbey," by Roberts, are also ad mirable and interesting architectural pictures. The literary department, in which brevity is the great desideratum—the work being more of an illustrative than a minutely descrip tive character—is select in matter and masterly in manner, and the legendary, and descriptive, and antiquarian lore with which it abounds, will be perused with both pleasure and profitby those whose avocations deny them sufficient leisure to avail themselves of a more detailed account of the won ders, beauties, sublimities, ancient history, and character istics of the " sister isle." England in the Nineteenth Century. London : How and Parsons. and art I : of Part 11. of Lancashire, Cornwall are now published. The former contai:s descriptions ttie of the lions of Manchester, with a further history of cotton manufac ture, illustrated by wood-cuts of public buildings and cofun try residences in this county, and of various portions complicated machinery used in the fabric ofpourms‘tias of the ar ticle. The descriptive portion of the work is evidently p e fro the pen of a gentleman well versed in the several branches of m the trade, from the spinning of the raw material, to the final operations of bleaching, printing, and packing the cloth. The number is also embellished by a view of Liverpool from an engraving on steel; but the point from which it is taken (Tosteth-park) is by no means well chosen. The only points from which Liverpool—her tine docks, her commercial buildings, her spires, towers,. and domes—can be seen to ad vantage, must either be in so] ne part of the Mersey, or of the Cheshire ?h©r opposite The continuation of Cornwall I to us quite as interesting as that of Lancashire—the prim pal objects treated of, as well as the county, partaki of the rural and picturesque, and giving greater scope for graphic and interesting description, blended with historical reminiscences. The frontispiece " Tintagel," a wild and rocky scene, is a fine vignette engraving, and many of the wood-cuts are numerous and fine—including views of the Eddystone Lighthouse, Cothele Woods, Landulph Church, Cawsand Bay, and several romantic views o❑ the Tamar. The work is printed and illustrated uniformly with Mr. Hall's Ireland, and v. - praises to become a favourite with the public. The Governess ; or• Modern Education. By Madame B. Riofrey. London : 22, Newman-street, Oxford-street. We have before had occasion to notice this excellent and cheap periodical, which, we rejoice to say; has been hitherto so deservedly patronised, that a second volume has been re solved upon, and the first number of which (for January of the present year) is before us. " I have endeavoured," says the author, in a brief preface, " to combine in this work, re ligion, morality, information, and pure literary taste, so well adapted to the high, moral, and religious duties which apper tain to the noble career of a governess,"—and on looking over the present and former numbers, we should say that this great desideratum has been ably effected. The work con tains productions written in three different languages—Eng lish, French, and Italian. The original articles are elegantly and feelingly written ; the selections, both in prose and verse, are most judicious and appropriate, and a vein of religion, morality, and tender solicitation, for the welfare here and hereafter of the young to whom it more especially addresses itself, and who in its attentive perusal will find much that is calculated to increase their literary attainments, and to strengthen those affections that do honour to human nature. On the Advantages of Exercise in some Spinal Deviations. Addressed to Sir Benjamin Brodie, M.D.. F.R.S. By A. M. Burcaud Riofrey, M.D. London : 22, Newman- street, Oxford-street This is a series of letters on deviations of the spine in young females, cleverly written, and recommending a mode of treatment, by means of strings, producing pressure, to supersede the barbarous system of extension. The writer remarks—" To act in a contrary direction to the mode of action causing the disease, to straighten a crooked stem, is the principle on which the treatment of spinal deviations originating in muscular weakness, bad attitudes, and neg lected education should, in my humble opinion, be founded." The author, in announcing that he purposes to publish fur ther details in the second edition of his " Treatise on the Physical Education of the Female Sex," in which he will treat the question so as to render it useful not only to medi cal men but to all mothers and governors, concludes by say ing, " Serious and complicated cases may require professional assistance ; but good sense and correct observation suffice to counterbalance the evil effects of ill-directed education, bad habits, and slight deviating." For the future, instead of mechanical beds. iron bars, and heavy belts, a few ribbons will alone suffice, and those seem to us the only ties adapted to the delicate figures of youne ladies, bred and born iu large cities. The Voyages of Captain James Cook round the World, William Smith, London This is a fine, yet cheap edition of one of the most popular and entertaining books ever yet produced in the world of letters. It is printed in parts, in a fine large type, with notes, and admirably illustrated with maps and numerous beauti fully executed engravings on wood. The quantity of letter press in each number is great, the four numbers yet published comprising the first voyage of the celebrated circumnavigator, and a great part of the second. A more heartstirring narra tive of perils and perseverance cannot be put into the hands of youth ; and will be perused with scarcely less interest by those of mature years ; for it is also replete with curious information, physical and geographical. To this edition there will be an appendix, giving an account of the present condi tion of the South Sea Islands, &c., which, it may be said, will bring the history of those interesting countries from the period of this discovery up to the present time. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. William Black wood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. No. 35 of this truly valuable work has appeared, containing the county of Clackmannan complete, conclusions of the ac counts of Renfrew and Orkney, and a fine map of the He brides or Western Isles. This number (like those that have preceded) is replete with useful and interesting information, drawn up by gentlemen long resident in the several localities of which they treat, and whose high scholastic attainments, and, we must add, unwearied research, enable them not only to supply, with accuracy, every statistical fact connected with the geology, the soil, the antiquities, the landed proprie tors and inhabitants, and their pursuits and resources in hus bandry, fishing, manufactures, &c., but to enliven their nar ratives by many interesting historical details of bygone days, feuds and forays, in which the reader will find amusement blended with information. The present number, amongst other pleasing passages, contains an animated account of the village of Langside, in Renfrewshire, " rendered ever memo rable in Scottish history by the fatal day when the lovely, but ill-starred Mary, appeared for the last time as a queen and a free woman," with a description of the field in which, in 1568, the eventful battle was fought, " fraught with so many real blessings to Scotland, yet even now contemplated with mixed feelings of pleasure and of pain by every leal hearted Scotsman." The work is one, indeed, which should be in the libraries of all who desire to possess themselves of sound and practical information on the interesting, and ra pidly progressing, northern portion of the British empire, emphatically denominated by the departed minstrel— " Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood." RECENT SCANDAL CASE IN PARIS (From the Globe) The recent occurrence at the Hotel Bedford, Paris, in which the sanctity of the bed-chamber of a young English lady of family and fortune was violated under circumstances so aggravated as to be almost without a parallel, has created the most extraordinary sensation among the families of the nobility and gentry of Devonshire, to many of whom she is personally known. It would appear from the facts contained in the following "plain unvarnished" statement, which conies from one of the parties interested in the matter, that the scheme of obtaining possession of this lady's person and fortune had for some time past been in contemplation by the adventurer C., and that he had deliberately laid his plans for accomplishing the ob ject which was so signally frustrated by the heroic conduct and resolute firmness of the lady and her maid. The heroine of this extraordinary romance of real life is Miss 8., the heiress to extensive property, and a member of one of the oldest and most wealthy families in the county of Devon. In the autumn of last year she met Mr. and Mrs. D., at Highfield-house, Devonshire, who, after this meeting, paid great attention to her, frequently calling upon her at her residence in C-n-terrace, Exeter, and expressing the most friendly sympathy with regard to her health, which was at the time in a delicate state, in consequence of the recent loss of two members of her family. They expressed them selves extremely anxious that she should take a trip with them, urging that, as her spirits were depressed, it would do her good. They on one occasion brought C. with them, and, as it is alleged, introduced him to Miss B. as a mail of for tune ; and a person named H. was also introduced as an old friend of theirs. Mrs. D. entreated Miss B. to go to London for the benefit of her health. She subsequently did come down, and was in troduced to Lord and Lady W. P. Mr. and Mrs. D. several times proposed a trip to Paris, which Miss B. .at length as sented to, on condition that Lord and Lady W. P. should acoompany them. On the 15th of January the party left London for Paris, consisting of Miss 8., Mr. and Mrs. D., Mr. C., Mr. H., Miss H. and Miss S. (daughter of Mrs. H. by a former mar riage.) On their arrival at Paris they took up their abode at the Hotel Bedford, the scene of the late scandalous proceed ing, where they lived in great style, with four carriages, and a retinue of servants, Lord and Lady W. P., with their three sons, having joined them in the French capital. It had been arranged that C. should be caterer, and have the ordering and directing of matters and the payment of the accounts, the others repaying him their respective shares. In this way matters went on until Friday, the 28th of January, on the evening of which day Mr. C. treated the servants of Miss D. (namely—Charlotte, her maid, Chapman, her butler, and a French servant named Francois) to the Opera, having ob tained at his own request, as a particular favour, Miss B.'s permission to do so. He also, it appears, made arrangements that after the performances they should go to a restaurant and have supper, instead of coming directly home to the hotel. Chapman, however, a prudent young man, said to the maid at the conclusion of the Opera, " Charlotte, I think you had better return to your mistress ;" and she went home to the hotel accordingly. About half-past twelve Miss B. went to her chamber, accompanied by her maid, but did not retire to her chamber until much later, the maid having sat for some time at work, and Miss B. sitting up writing letters until about half-past two. The maid always sl e pt i n th e same room with her mistress ; and on the night in question slept in the same bed, in consequence of Miss B. having sat up until her feet were cold. Shortly after they were in bed Miss B. thought she heard a noise, and told her maid Char lotte to look and see what it was. She replied that she could not see anything, and supposed that it was the noise of' a piece of wood falling into the grate ; for there was a light in the room and a fire burning. Neither of them had been asleep. Shortly afterwards Miss B. heard a noise a second time, and on looking up, exclaimed in much alarm, " Good God Charlotte, there's a man in the room." Charlotte seeing at once who it was, called out, " Mr. C., what do you do here ?" He replied,: " Hold your tongue. no one will hear you or come to your assistance, what ever no i se you may make." Upon this Miss 8., in a tone of extreme indigna tion said, " Where am I, that I am to b e th us t reate d ?" Both Miss B. and her maid , with great courage and pre sence of mind, flew to the bell and rang it, but C. immedi ately broke down the rope, and said, " I only wish to speak to you, Miss B. She replied, " You can have nothing to say to me here in such a place, and at such an hour ; you must be a villain thus to enter a gentlewoman's chamber, and I command you instantly to leave my presence." He coolly added, " I will not leave, neither shall you ;" and Miss B. said, " Then I'll throw myself out at the window, for I will not remain in the same room with such a wretch as you . 1 " At this moment the maid broke a vane of glass in the window, and both screamed " Murder !" which alarmed the house. Upon some persons calling from the outside to know what was the matter, he told them " that the servant had invited him into her room, and now wanted to get rid of him." While lie was speaking to them the maid got the door open, and Miss B. made her escape from the room, although C. struggled with the maid and attempted again to bolt it. Miss B. states that in her flight some person attempted tp turn her back, but she cried out, " For God' s sake save me ! ' and the r es t o f the house being now aroused, she was allowed sparrow!" to pass o n . Mi ss B . states t hat M r .

Sho then placed herself under the protection of Mrs. Lawson, the wife of the proprietor of the hotel, and quitted Paris for London the next day, attended by her servants. In one of the early statements of this affair, it was represented that C. had en tered the bed of Miss 8., but this is not true, the lady and her maid having both quitted the bed on being alarmed with his presence. It was also stated that the English ambassador had recommended that the affair should be hushed up by a marriage ; but Lord Cowley, who had raid every attention to Miss B.'s representations, did not offer any advice of the kind stated. She is at present in town, daily receiving the visits of numerous friends, sympathising with her in the mental suffering which the outrageous and distressing occur rence has produced. Mrs. Lawson. of the Bedford, has written to Miss 8., stating that C. never paid them one far thing, although he received .f.:1713 as that lady's share of the total expenses incurred. CURIOUS FRACAS IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND On Tuesday the Ist battalion of Pusileer Guards, quartered in the Tower, were assembled on the Parade to hear the pro- 1 ceedings of a district court-martial read over on Private Stud dart, who had been tried for unbecoming and unsoldierlike conduct while on duty in the Bank of England on the night of Saturday, the 29th ult. The circumstances which led to the trial were of a very singular character. The guard which attends the Bank every night is accompanied by one of the officers of the regiment, who is allowed a guinea, and a din ner prepared for him at a neighbouring hotel. On the night in question the officer in command of the detachment had a fine saddle of mutton cooked for his dinner, and waited for some time in expectation of receiving a visit from a friend who had promised to take mutton with him. The officer, however, was doomed to eat his mutton alone, and, after making a hearty meal, and sipping a glass or two of wine, left the remains of the feast on the table, and went round the Bank to look after his men. On his return to the apart ment in which he had dined he found the mutton and wine had vanished, and immediately gave information to one of the Bank porters, who came to the conclusion that the rob bery had been committed by three of the clerks, who were detained until a late hour on the same night, making up some accounts of an important nature. The clerks had been eating their mutton in another apartment, and were just leaving it, when the porter and his assistant charged them with stealing the remains of the officer's dinner, and attempted tolake them into custody. The clerks, who are highly respectable men, indignantly repelled the charge, and the porter and his assistant, in the scuffle which ensued, were knocked down. Two of the clerks got away, but the third was not so fortunate : lie was forced into a room, and the key turned upon him. The affair soon reached the ears of the resident cashier, who left his apartment, and ordered the instant liberation of the clerk who was under arrest, and in timated to the officer that it was very probable some of his own men had made free with his mutton. The detachment were immediately mustered, and a rigid search was deter mined on. No sooner were the guard assembled than one man, a private, was observed to remove something from his cap, and throw it behind him. It proved to be some of the mutton, and he was interrogated on the subject, when he accused another soldier, and a general crimination and re crimination took place, w h ended in Stoddart and another soldier named Smith beiflideprived.of their arms and placed under detention. It apftee* that Stoddart-was the sentinel on duty opposite the built:* appropriated to the accommo dation of the officer; at) iptwas suggested to him by Smith, after the officer had . finishjll Ibis dinner, there was a good chance of obtaining a." tuck-out of mutton," and he took the other's post, put on his cap, and sheuldered his musket, while Stoddart committed the robbery. The mutton was divided among several men, but ere they had finished their share the plunder was discovered. Stoddart, in defence, we understand, pleaded that Smith first smelt the mutton, and instigated him to commit the robbery. Smith, who had been in the service for eight years, and bad obtained one stripe fur good conduct, was acquitted ; but Stoddart was, found guilty, and sentenced to 40 days' imprisonment in th'e4 Penitentiary, where be is now expatiating his offence. The porter, who so injudiciously interfered in the matter, has been suspended by the directors of the Bank. Smith and Stoddart were marched out of the Bank without their arms on the morning of the 30th, and beieg handcuffed, a report was raised that they had been robbing the Bank of England, which caused no small curiosity in the city on that day. THE BUTTER TRADE The following letter on this subject, and with reference to a paragraph inserted in our last, has been addressed to the " President of the'Committee of the Merchants of Cork." Sir,—l have forborne, as long as forbearance was compati ble with a due regard for my commercial character, to make any comment upon the subject of the extra meeting of the Committee of Merchants, held on the 28th ult., the avowed object of which was to put a stop to some new frauds, as they were pleased to term them, iu the butter trade ; the old frauds having become sanctioned by long continuance, so that the consciences of those engaged in them are no longer wounded by the practice of them. . They met, however, to consider upon some communica tions received from their own agents in Liverpool, respecting the introduction into that port of foreign butter, having the brand " Cork," meaning Cork fashion ; as the word " Ber wick" is here used on Pork made up in a peculiar manner to suit the London market ; but with far less chance of deceiving the buyer, inasmuch as the butter is entered and sold in bond, and could not possibly be mistaken for home produce by any one whose skull was not as thick as the heads or the hoops now used by those who are adepts in trimming their firkins— and all other kinds of trimming. Shall 1 speak of the custom of branding " Prime Mess" on measly pork and inferior beef shipped under a fictitious name ? or of but let the rest pass. I would not draw a precedent from the more notorious frauds, (the word is their own) practised by those very men who stand forward, with shameless effrontery, to discountenance even the semblance of wrong, forgetting that at this moment Cork butter will not he bought in Jamaica until the &king are stripped. But how did those honourable men act towards us? Did they call upon me, as one of the firm of Casey Brothers, to inquire into the cirainstances. or invite me to that board of which I was so recently a member, to afford me an opportu nity of explanation, and of removing their feigned appre hensions? No—they chose, first covertly, and afterwards more openly, but not less assiduously, to fig their slander — but they were interested parties, and did not wish to know the truth. Not so, however, with the disinterested tribunal before which the 'case was investigated in Liverpool—l mean the Board of Customs, where we were highly complimented for our prompt - and satisfactory explanation, it appearing quite evident to those, her Majesty's officers, who were on the spot, who could see the butter , and learn all the circum stances connected with it, arid who had no private end to serve, nor feelings of jealous rivalry to gratify, that there could be no intention of fraud, nor possibility of com mitting it. Foiled in this attempt. they vote £3O to defray the ex penses of one of their staff, whom they sent in the capacity of bellman to Liverpool, to assure the easy, simple folk there that butter brought from Germany was not the produce of the County Cork ! and to warn them that it could not, by any means, stand a tropical climate without receiving the mystic scratches which be could give it at Mallow-lane, and there only; but the main and the mean object of his mission was to write home slanders, which may appear in print—all which he has most creditably accomplished—and it appears from his last letter that now he has nothing to do, and when that is done he'll come home. In conclusion, I would advise the gentlemen, -now that their double rose is defiled by foreign contract, to adopt the lily as the fitter emblem of the immaculate purity of the butter trade of Cork, and assign to those in the Hamburgh trade the thistle and its motto—" Nemo me impune lacessit ." Sir, while I address myself to you, in your official situa tion of president, I beg to assure you individually of my highest esteem ; and, with great respect. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE CASEY. To J. J. Murphy, Esq.

A fair attendance of buyers in the market again to-day, but not more than 3000 bales have been sold, without any change in prices. The sales of the Week amount only to 19,360 bales, against an import of 37,000, adding 18,000 to the already heavily accumulated stock. 500 on speculation, and 200 for export. Prices on a par with last week's quo tations. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 21. The same quiet and inactivity prevades our Cotton market, and buyers merely supply their immediate wants, without ally hopes or fears that it will improve, at the same time holders display great firmness, and tho' very willing to effect sales, and in some cases anxious to do so, yet they are firm at present prices, and withstand any further reduction : this is a good omen, and gives a tone of confidence to what little business is done. On Saturday about 3000 bales were sold, and to-day 8500. 50u of them to an exporter. Market closes steadily. import s 5. AFRICA.

The demand for Clover seed is increased, but it is readily met by the sellers, without any advance being realised, Arrivals this Week.--English, Wheat, 2,430 qrs; Barley, 8,110 qrs; Oats, 1,650 qrs; Flour, 2,860 sacks. Irish Oats, 6,120 qrs. • Foreign, Wheat, 26,785 qrs. LIVERPOOL CORN. EXCHANGE, FEB. 18. Upon Foreign Barley the duty is raised to 19s. 10d., on Rye to 12s. Gd., on Pease to 18s. 3d. per quarter, remaining in all other respects precisely the same as last week. Except a few Oats and a moderate quantity of Oatmeal, we have had scarcely anything into this port from Ireland since Tuesday, a nd n o ne wor th nam i ng C oas t w i se . During the same period the arrivals of Foreign Grain have been wholly confined to 12,410 qrs. of Wheat from the south of Europe, having no other produce whatever fresh in from abroad. Since our first report this week, and up to this date business in any free article of the trade appeared to be lite rally suspended ; and the only sale reported in bond, during that time, included merely about 1900 qrs. of Egyptian Beans, at 17s. per qr. _ _ _ At this day's - market, likewise, unaccountable dulness p!r, vaded every branch of the corn trade, and rendered priees of all sorts of grain scarcely more than nominal.—Of Wheat, however, the few retail sales effected were at a decline of 2d to 3d per 701b5., and Oats might have been purchased full id per 45IbS below the rates last noted. Oatmeal, in the absence of country buyers, receded 6d. per 2401b5. Flour was taken off very sparingly, and although prime brands, duty paid, are not plentiful, there was a dis position to sell on rather lower terms. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Fru. 18 We had, for this day's market, a ►ood supply of Barley, but a moderate one of. other articles. The finest samples of new and old Wheat sold slowly at a reduetion of is per quarter, w hile all other sorts were almost unsaleable. though offered at 4.:s per minter under the rates of last week. Our millers generally complain of a had trade for Flour, and are very adverse to get into stock. Fine malting Barley nearly maintains its value, but inferior qualities were again 7s her quarter lower. Beans were is per quarter and Oats :id to id per stone cheaper. Shellings dull, but prices remain without variation. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 18 Altlicugh the number of Beasts offering in to-day's market was very scanty, we have again to report an unusually dull trade for Beef, and in some instances an abatement of 2d per Sibs was sub. mitted to in the quotations. From Scotland 160 Scots have arrived this week, but only 50 of them were brought forward, while we learn that more than 504 are now on their way hither from Aberdeen and Perth. Sheep were in limited supply and heavy inquiry, and the currencies were 2d per Sibs lower than on Alon day, the primest old Downs barely producing 4s led per Sibs. There were about 800 shearling wethers on sale, which moved off heavily at 4s to 4s 2d per Slbs. Lambs commanded scarcely any attention, and their figures were nominally quoted at 6s Sd. The Veal trade was considerably renovated, at an advance of from 2d to 4d per Sibs. Pigs sold freely at full prices. Milch Cows sold at from £l6 to £Ol eaeh. By the quantities of 81b, sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 21 The Butter trade continues in a state of the greatest depression, and prices are again lower; more than gos. cannot be obtained for the most favourite southern brands, and medium descriptions range down to 73s per cwt. Holders have evidently become alarmed, lest, in these liberalizing times; foreign Butters and Pro visions, should as well as Corn, be forced upon our markets at a low rate of duty. Good Beef is to be had at 1105 to 115 s per ten. Pork 65s to 68s per barrel, and nothing doing in either. Bacon 50s to 525. An eminent American house, in a letter addressed to the '• Anti-Monopoly Association" of this town, quotes Mississippi Pore at a price, which, with duty, freight, 6c. would not stand the importer in more than about 50s per barrel. If properly cured, sound and sweet, and fairly fed, the article would, at this moment, have a margin; and we feel surprised that the manu facturers do not direct their attention to the fact. Surely as pa triots, they ought to apply some portion of their surplus stocks, in exchanges for an article, that would lessen the existing destitution of their poorer brethren, and at the same time leave the important desideratum,—a considerable profit. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, FEB. 18 - The demand for Sugar continues extren ely limited, and there are no transactions in B. P. worthy of notice. 2500 bags Mauritius have been disposed of, at 59s for low, up to 66s to 6 s per cwt. for good to very fine yellow, and 1400 Bags Bengal at rather lower prices. No transactions in Foreign. The sales of Molasses are limited to 70 casks Demerara, at 27s per cwt. from the quay. Coffee.—The demand being still confined principally to the ordinary and middling qualities, of which the stock is very small, the sales of Plantation do not exceed 50 casks, for which full prices were obtained. 240 bags middling Mocha - sold at 925, 270 bags Bahia at 40s, and 150 bags damaged Mysore of lOs to 32s tid per cwt. 50 bags Pimento sold at 3d. and 1800 bags black Pepper at 2id to 4id per lb. No sales of Cocoa or Ginger. Rice.-20 tcs. Carolina sold at 16s, and 000 bags East India at gs to 11s 3d per cwt. B. P. Rum.—The business is confined to a few small parcels of strong Demerara, at full rates. Tea.—There has been a good demand, and a fair business done, at last week's prices. Indigo.-40 cases of Caracca and a few serons of Guatimala were offered on Wednesday last, 10 cases sold by private at 4s Sd to ss, and 10 chests of Bengal at steady prices. 250 chests Shell Lac have been disposed of, at 345 to 37s for blocky low orange, and liver at :Vs per cent., 50 bales of Bombay Safflower at 255. and 16 of Bengal at 90s to 97s 6d, 330 pockets of Bengal Turmeric at Ills to 16s 6d, 400 bags Terra Japonica at 14s, 500 quarters of Bombay Linseed and Rapeseed at 545, 10 serons Cochneal at steady rates, and qout 60 chests of East India Arabic, principally with ail faults. For Saltpetre there has been an extensive inquiry, and the sales are fully 4000 bags, at 269 6d to ups, and 1000 bags of Nitrate of Soda at 23s to 23s 6d per cwt. Dyewoods.—The sales of Logwood are 300 tons Campeachy at £7 Its, and a few tons Jamaica and Honduras at £5 7s 6d to ▪ I , b. No sales reported in Fustic, except a few tons Tatapicoa at £7 to 5s per. ton. The demand for Turpentine is regular, but not brisk ; 500 barrels of fair quality have brour,ht Its 1 ad. No sales reported in Tar. Montreal Pot and Pearl Ashes are in very limited demand, but being scarce, they are Grin in price, and holders are not disposed to accept lower rates than the quotations. Some tew sales of Pot Ashes have been made at 325 6d, and of Pearl Ashes at 33s ; for a parcel of Quebec Pearl 31s has been accepted. Hides. About 3000 salted River Plate Ox were sold by auction last Friday at 4d per lb. Tobacco continues in good general de mand, and since the commencement of the month the sales amount to 754 Mids. ' comprising 426 Virginia leaf and 99 stemmed, log Kentucky leaf and 120 stemmed : of these '226 hhds. were taken for export, 214 for Ireland, 13 for Scotland, Si on speculation, and the remainder, or 221 hhds., by the Trade. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT The demand has been very moderate throughout the week, but no material alteration can be noticed in the prices of any descrip ti on, with the exception of the common qualities of American, which in several instances have been sold at id 14. ib decline.
