POOR-LAWS FOR IRELAND.—The deputation appointed upon Earl de Grey met his excellency on Saturday, ,Cn his lordship said, that " legislation on so important a subject being generally founded on inquiry, it would be diffi cult to legislate early in the session, as they intimated should be done, if such inquiry were also to be instituted. The sole object of the Government was to obtain the best information from all parts of the country, and from men of all parties, whose object was to amend the existing system ; and his ex cellency concluded by inviting suggestions in writing from gentlemen conversant with the working of the law, and as sured the deputation of his anxiety to give such suggestions his most anxious consideration." FORTUNATE RESCUE.—On Wednesday afternoon last, an old woman of the name of Forrester, who is in the habit of wandering about Leith, bad, it is supposed, gone down to the rocks at Seafield to gather shell-fish, and becoming benumbed with cold, she was unable to escape from the tide, which was rapidly flowing. In this perilous situation, when the water had reached her neck, she was observed by some carters, who immediately conveyed her to the Humane Society's Rooms in the Dispensary, where she arrived perfectiy stiff and rigid, and completely inanimate. Medical assistance being imme diately at band, the means adopted for her recovery happily succeeded. She was restored to consciousness in a short time. — Caledonian Mercury• CORN LAW AND TARIFF.—On Saturday last the meeting which was adjourned on Saturday, the 14th January. re assembled in the Court-house, Fermoy, Cork county. As will be recollected, it was a meeting of the landowners, far mers, shopkeepers, tradesmen, and labourers, of the Barony of Condons and Clongibbons, convened by the Right Hon. the Earl of Mountcashell, to " petition parliament on the - • ...rieultural produce, caused to wait pressed state of the s effects tariff and corn laws." At he meeting was adjourned, nrouvenience. The noble one o'cioc the Court louse was crow i;nfter a lengthened speech, he 'eclared to be car- lord again_ took That it is the opinion of this meeting that the late alteration in the corn laws and tariff has not vet had a sufficient trial to enable the people to form a decided opinion on the matter." The resolution which called forth this amendment, and which Lor Mountcashel now wished to se e passed, was as follows :—" Tha d t the evils so severely felt are mainly attributable to the effects of the recent alteration in the cor " n laws, and to certain clauses contained in the new tariff ; but this was negatived. DR. CHALMERS ON EMIGRATION. —Dr. Chalmers has published a letter, dated December 29, 1842, in which be strongly recommends the formation, in Glasgow, of an effi cient emigration society. composed of the most respectable men in the neighbourhood. Their duties he defines to be to examine all the special claims, and to meet them, as far as it is enabled to do, from a general fund, formed by a general subscription from the country at large. He says, however, that he must testify his own opinion " of the utter ineffici ency of emigration as a lasting expedient of relief for the dis ti•eas of a redundant or unemployed population. At the most it will but yield a transient and temporary relief from the pressure which is now felt in the manufacturing districts of our country. I cannot see my way to any scheme of perma nent amelioration for the working classes, but through the medium of a commensurate parochial system, by which a universal education, both Christian and common, should he provided for our people. The scheme of a poor-law is be ginning to look at us in good earnest; and I shall now cease to lament wh a t I h o ld to be the infatuation of expend in g a five times g rea t er sum , and doing worse than nothing with i t, than t would su ffi ce f or t h e establishment and vigorous opera ionof those moral causes, by which alone th e c omfort and economic prosperity as well as the transcendently highe r in terests of th e conim , on people , can be placed beyond the reach of every fluctuation" e following amends which was put tb ried b MASSES FOR, TH specimen of the DEAD.—The following i ionesty of Roman Catholic pries s a pretty masses for the dead We should imagine tion was of the same Opinion as Cardinal Richelieu, who, being asked, " Pray, Cardinal, how many masses will it take to get a soul out of purgatory ?" replied, " As many as it will take snow-balls to heat an oven. The subject is contained in a letter which has been addressed to one of the magistrates at Marlborough-street, by Mr. Dvce Sombre, himself a Ro man Catholic ; we publish that letter, and the magistrate's reply : " Clarendon Hotel, New Bond-street, Jan. 27.

THE COTTON CROP OP THE UNITY]) STATES.—The recent arrivals from New York have put us in possession of an ac count, made up to the end of the year, of the arrivals and exports of cotton, at and from the ports of the United States, which show a very large increase a s com pared with the corresponding period in Preceding years. The total rec eipts at the ports, at the closeof the year s u n dermentioned, were— - 1839. 1840. 1841. 1842 516,000 489,753 61 7,036 909,036 Thus it appears, that the arrivals down to the close of last yea r exceeded by about 50 per cent those of the previous year, which were the largest previously known, and still further exceeding those of the abundant year 1839; when however, the forwarding of cotton to the ports was greatly checked in the commencement of the season, by the utter prostration of mercantile credit in the United States. The exports to Great Britain also continue very large; being as follows to the end of each of the last three years : 1840. 1841. 1812 - 154,089 182,651 322,101 giving, at the end of last year, an increase of about 60 per cent on the year 1841, and more than 100 per cent on 1840. At the latest dates, too, shipments were proceeding with such rapidity, :hat, notwithstanding the unusual number of vessels up from Great Britain (99 against 64 in 1811, and 41 in 1840), freig hts had risen in all the shipping ports.— Manchester MR.

An extraordinary meeting of the general assembly of the Church of Scotland, was held in Edinburgh, on Tuesday last; when Dr. Cook moved. " That, as it has now been adjudged by the highest legal authority of the country, that the Gene ral Assembly, by its mere act, cannot confer on quoad sacra ministers a valid and legal title to sit as members of the ec clesiastical judicatories of the Established Church—such act involving the conveyance of civil privileges, which can be de rived only from the Legislature—the Commission in con formity to this, refuse to enrol, in the sederunt, the names of any such minister, or to hold them as entitled to deliberate and to vote on what may come under its consideration." This motion was negatived, and one was carried that they should proceed to the business of the day. Dr. Cook and the minority then left, when Dr. Candlish, after a two hours speech, moved a resolution, to the effect, that the church present petitions to both Houses of Parliament on the sub ject of the " Claim of Right." He regretted to say that, after the letter from Sir James Graham, he had very little hope of the success of their application ; but still they thought it their duty before taking any other steps, to have the opinion of the Legislature express or tacit upon their claims. This was adopted, and the commission separated. BURGLARY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—Ii will be remem bered that, in March, 18-11, a very extensive robbery was committed in the stores at Windsor Castle, and a party was taken into custody on suspicion, but discharged. It appears, that, on Friday evening last, the cap of one of the workmen engaged in the stores was accidentally set on fire, and, in at tempting to extinguish it, it was thrown upon the floor, amongst some things which lay near the man, and trodden upon. Mr. Ledger, in the Lord Chamberlain's department, in order to prevent the chance of any accident occurring from fire, very properly ordered one of the men, named Gaw, to remain upon the watch in that part of the premises during the night. At half past five o'clock on the following (Saturday) morning, Gaw was naturally surprised at hearing the outer door unlocked, and at seeing a man, of the name of Samuel Prentice, walk in. The man was taken into custody on Mon day, and examined before the magistrates, when he was com mitted to the Barks assizes, charged with having entered the stores by means of a picklock key, and being found upon the premises for improper purposes at that hour in the morning. He was liberated on bail, himself in £5O, and two sureties of £3O each. When the prisoner was first seen by Gaw, lie told him he came for a hammer and chisel, which he took from a nail, and departed. He then returned, and said that he came for a brush, and begged of (jaw to say nothing about his Deing seen at the stores, or it might bring him into trouble. Mr. Oastler, in his last Fleet Paper, says : nspicuous anti-corn-law man OPPRESSION foreman of a ver s sent round with a book to collect subscriptions for the £50,000 League fund.

A WEEK !—this extortioner, at the same time, standing up at anti-corn-law meetings, and boasting what a friend he was to the working classes, and that he would do all he could to serve them ! ! Are these the men whom Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham intend to support? Depend upon it, the working classes of this country will not support them. Let the Leaguers try a public meeting on the subject of a repeal of the corn laws, let it be open and free for all, in any town i❑ the West Riding of Yorkshire, and I dare stake my existence that they could not carry a single resolution." PRISON LABOUR. — On the 23d instant the town of Rennes was thrown into confusion by the violent conduct of some hundreds of workmen out of work, principally weavers, who, assembling at nine o'clock in the morning, proceeded to the prison to prevent the women, to whom flax is given each week to spin at their own houses, from handing in their work to be completed by the prisoners. They came too late, as the women had delivered their work at seven o'clock. There were some indications observable of an attack on the prison, but no violence was had recourse to, as fifty men had been ordered out in addition to the usual guard. The crowd then proceeded to the Prefect's, and a deputation demanded per mission to lay before him the complaints of the workmen. This he refused, until the crowd had retired. A detachment of the 73d Regiment with great forbearance drove them as far as the Rue Louis Philippe. A woman who showed great vio lence was arrested, as well as a man who sought to prevent the arrest. The deputation was then admitted, and listened to very attentively, whilst the speakers laid before the Pre fect the distress of the weavers, and their annoyance at seeing work executed by the men confined in the prison. The Prefect, who was attended by the Procureur du Roi, General St. Aubanet, and several persons in official situations, re plied, that he felt for their distress, but he had no means of preventing it; that the work executed in the prisons could not do them much injury, as the men in confinement were only 275, whilst the number of the workmen was 5,000; that besides he had no power to stop the work in the prison, as it was so ordered by article 21 of the Penal Code; all he could do for them was to order the improvements on the Route du Mail to be immediately entered upon, in order that as many hands as possible should have something to do. The depu tation then demanded the liberation of the persons just arrested, but this was refused. The deputation then re tired, and the same groups were observed to parade the town during the day ; but no act of violence was perpetrated.— Galignani's Messenger. GRAND BLAST AT THE DOVER RAILWAY. — The great blast at Rounddown Cliff, consisting of 18,5001b5., or eight and-a-half tons gunpowder, was fired yesterday week, at two o'clock. Long before this hour, every height (at a respect ful distance) commanding a view of the immense cliff in tended to Le operated upon, was studded with spectators ; and, we must say, that excellent arrangements were made by the company to avoid accidents. A line of demarcation was marked off by signals, and police and military were stationed along this line, to keep the populace from approaching within the workmen would not give a farthing HEIR WAGES - - extortion—this downright robbery these things. he always t it. The Rounddown cliff o'er hung the sea, close to the one whose fearful height is so graphically described in King Lear, and commonly known by the classic name of " Shaks peace's Cliff." The original intention of the South Eastern Railway Company was to carry a tunnel through the portion of the height thus blown down, as they have through the bowels of the Shakspeare ; but, from the circumstances of tremendous falls having taken place on either side, during the progress of the works, and from these falls having affected the stability of the cliff, the expediency of blasting it was very judiciously resolved on. A mine, consisting of three cells, was according planned and formed by-Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of the company in the base of the cliff, into which the enormous quantity of powder above named was placed, and the ignition of the charges by the voltaic battery was performed by Lieutenant Hutchinson, of the Royal Engi neers, who was employed lately by Major-General Pasley in operating against the wreck of the Royal George. Punctual to their arrangement, the miners communicated the electric spark to the gunpowder by their connecting wires, on the signal being given—the earth trembled under our feet to half a mile distant—a stifled report, not loud, but deep, was beard ; the base of the cliff, extending on either hand to up wards of five hundred feet, was shot as from a cannon from under the superincumbent mass of chalk seaward ; and, in a few seconds, not less, we should say, than 1,000,000 tons of ruik were dislodged by the shock, and settled gently down t. the sea below. Tremendous cheers followed the blast, salute was fired. The sight was indeed truly Such was the precision of the engineers, and f Mr. Cubitt, that it would appear just so of the cliff has been removed as was wanted‘ h to make ••' • ' st will save and a ro ie calculatjans, ?AV; any .£lO,OOO worth of hand labour st accideu• occurred.

The Bank of Manchester was only petitioning creditor, on the fiat of August 5, against Raleigh separately. The bills in question, delivered to the bank on account of debts due, were part of the joint estate of Raleigh and Good, but not consti tuting their whole property ; and the bank stood as joint cre ditor of Raleigh and Good, independent of the bills, on the receipt of which the alleged forfeiture took place. It was ob vious that, with the exception of the bank, there were no other creditors who could prove against the separate estate of Raleigh, or come in in competition. The joint estate of Ra leigh and Good was incapable of administration under the separate estate, except in the event of a surplus. The as signees of the separate estate had no power over the joint es tate. Tlie creditors mentioned in the Bth section must be held to mean those seeking relief, and entitled to receive di vidends under the separate fiat. The bills in question never were applicable for the benefit of Raleigh's separate creditors, never could form part of his assets, and could not reasonably he said to fall under the application of the Bth section. The Court could not, therefore, adopt the interpretation proposed by the respondents. The property to which the section was meant to relate must form a subject of administration in vir tue of the fiat, and property of which the bankrupt was neither owner nor reputed owner could not be applied in payment of more than a full share in the assets. It was not requisite to decide whether the Bth section applied where no comprolnise or satisfaction occurred ; nor whether the 24th of George 11, c. 57, affected the case. It must be declared that forfeiture did not arise on the facts alleged before the commissioners and before this Court; end the representatives of the Bank of Manchester must have liberty to tender such proof as they can establish against the joint estate.

DREADFUL DEATH FROM FOUL AlR.—Shortly after twelve o'clock on Friday morning, a deplorable occurrence took place on the premises of Mr. Thomas, lsungton, .won. don. It appears that a young man, nineteen years of age, named Alfred Pleasant, in the employ of Mr. Thomas, had occasion to descend a very deep well on the premises, for the nnrneße of cleaning it out. He was let down in a bucket, and had been there about five minutes, when he was asked by those at the top if all was right, on which he replied in the affirmative. He was called to a second time, and gave the same answer. Shortly after, on calling to him again, they received no reply ; and about a quarter of an hour from the time Pleasant first went down, a boy was sent down in a buc ket, Ind on reaching the bottom, called out that he was lying there dead. The body of the unfortunate young man was re covered as speedily as possible, but life was quite extinct. At the meeting of Messrs. Parker and Co.'s creditors, which was held at the banking-house at Sheffield on Wed nesday last, the solicitor gave as the total amount of engage ments, £620,244. These engagements, however, included three sums standing to the credit of the three senior partners, making together £150,958, which the solicitor said would most likely come out of private estates. This would reduce the engagements to £469,256. The whole assets amounted to £707,060, but this sum, it must be observed, includes bad and doubtful debts. At the same time considerable expec tations are raised of the private estates of the partners, a great part of which will be available to the creditors. The chairman of the meeting, who was the petitioning creditor, attributed the failure solely to the badness of the times; but there were two items which seemed to make a great impres sion on the creditors —namely, a loss by the defalcation of a former partner in the concern, amounting to £6,269, and a still larger one by his son, amounting to £29,790. Another loss, by the failure of the bank of Morland and Co., was set down at £6,950. - VERDICTS OF INSANITY.—On Monday last Mr. Wakley made some sensible remarks on the conduct of coroners' juries finding habitually verdicts of insanity on parties com mitting self destruction. His remarks were elicited at an inquest then sitting on the body of a young woman who had committed suicide. He observed, that he " thought much mischief was occasioned by coroners' juries habitually re turning verdicts of insanity in such cases ; frequently upon testimony which was in every respect loose and frivolous, and therefore valueless." He then proceeded to put the hypothetical case, that a no greater degree of madness than that which drives people to commit self destruction might also urge them to perpetrate murder •, but would such crimi nals be exonerated from all responsibility because they had some time previous to the deed been considered to be under the influence of this insanity ? "If such a principle were admitted, society at large would be placed in the worst and most dangerous condition possible. No example could be proposed more dangerous, than to hold out to persons a temp tation to crime, by promising them an excusatory plea of " insanity. • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR BOND-STREET. — Last evening, about a quarter before six o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Cummins, a carpenter and builder, carrying on husiness in the Haunch of Venison-mews, Brook-street, Bond-street. The fire was first discovered in the upper shop at the time stated above, by a man at work in the Mews, who immediately raised an alarm, and an attempt was made to extinguish the flames by throwing buckets of water on them, but, owing to the inflammable nature of the stock, the efforts to do so were fruitless. The flames spread with great rapidity, and in a few minutes the whole of the upper part of the shop was one body of fire. There being a good supply of water, the fire was extinguished in about two hours from its discovery. In addition to the total destruction of Mr. Cummins's workshops, the premises of Mr. Taylor,.coach builder, of Brook-street, were damaged to some extent by fire and water. He is insured in the Phoenix. The roof of the house belonging to Messrs. Crofton and Carter, wine merchants, Southmoulton-street, was partly burnt through. Robinson and Co., billiard-table-makers, Brook-street, pre mises slightly damaged. The roof of Wood s distillery also damaged ; premises, tk.c., insured in two offices. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained.—Times of Tuesday. A RUNAWAY COACH.—The somewhat unusual circum stance of a coach " running away " without horses, and passing over the coachman, occurred at Windsor on Saturday last. It appears the London and Windsor coach (late Moody's) was standing opposite the coach-office on Castle-hill (a steep declivity leading into High-street) with the wheels supposed to be properly secured by a block of wood. About half an hour before the time for starting, 11Ir. Luther, the proprietor, and driver, got upon the box to adjust his coat, and put it in order on the seat. In doing this, it is supposed the wooden block was jarred away from the wheel, when the coach set off, at the rate of between seven and eight miles an hour, down the hill, crossing the High-street (where there was fortunately nothing to impede its progress), and down Peascod-street, where it was luckily stopped as the pole, as the coach gave a lurch, was about to insinuate itself into the shop-window of an extensive grocer. When the coach started off from the office, the coachman, not liking his novel position, without either reins, whip, or nags, resolved (unwisely as it turned out) to cut the connexion, and in jumping from the box unfortunately fell, when the off fore and hind wheels passed over both his legs and severely injured him. He was immediately picked up and taken to the office, where he re ceived the necessary aid his case required. On Friday, a man. named Charles Knowles, a collector in the employ of Messrs. Statham, Thorp, and Co., dyers, of Collyhurst, was brought before Mr. Maude, at the borough court, Manchester, charged with embezzling the sum of £176 135., the property of his employers. Mr. J. M. Dar byshire, book-keeper and cashier to Messrs. Barrett and Co., of Manchester, merchants, deposed, that, on the 3d of Sep tember last he paid the prisoner £26 on account of Messrs. Statham and Co.;on the 15th of October he paid him a further sum of . £5O on the same account ; the prisoner gave receipts for these sums. Mr. F. Bleakley, cashier in the employ of Wells, Cook, and Co., of Mosley-street, proved that on the 11th of November he paid to the prisoner, on ac count of Messrs. Statham and C 0.,. the sum of £lOO 135., for which he gave a receipt. Mr. Henry Statham, a partner in the firm of Statham, Thorp, and Co., stated that the prisoner had been in their employ as townsman and collector for the last three or four years; he had never accounted for the above mentioned sums. Inspector Greene apprehended the prisoner on Thursday afternoon ; on the charge being stated to him, he said, "Oh ! dear, I hope my master will forgive me. I wish my master had given me a little more time, as I was just about handing over the sum I have got in my pocket." On his being searched the sum of £8 3s. OW. was found in his possession. He said nothing in defence, and was com mitted for trial at the sessions. HORRIBLE MUTILATION OF A FEarALE.—A degree of ex citement and horror, such as has perhaps never been experi enced before in Leeds, was caused on Sunday last, by the discovery in the River Aire, near Knostrop lock, of the body of a female, mutilated and burnt in the most horrid manner, and presenting one of the most atrocious instances of deter mined butchery ever committed on a human being ; the head, the arms, and the legs from the loins, being entirely cut off, the ribs being broken. the flesh lacerated, and some parts of the intestines protruding from the abdomen. It is, in fact, the mere trunk of a human body, which has been burnt to such an• extent, in an unsuccessful attempt to reduce the whole to ashes, that the partial remains of the breasts are the only indication of its being part of the body of a feniale ilp . ,rtypeiw,a,nslinnh l asyde t s-t is conjectured by Mr. Price, the medical gentleman who has examined the body, that she was of low stature, and from 20 to 25 years of age. Hitherto her name remains unknown, and every circumstance connected with the shocking affair is shrouded in mystery. The whole affair partakes somewhat of the nature of the horrible crimes in which the murderers Greenacre and Goode were concerned. On Monday an in quest was held on the body, when after the appearance of the body had been described, the inquiry was adjourned till Mon day next. SCANDAL.—DUBLIN, Jan. 28.—A trifling incident oc curred at the drawing-room , on Thursday evening, which has furnished a subject of much conversation, and of some dark mysterious paragraphs in the newspapers. The Freeman's version of the affair is as follows :—" It is rumoured that a certain member of the legal profession—who, however, has more recently figured in the courts more frequently as a client than as an advocate—was in the act of ascending the Castle stairs, with the intention of mingling in the glittering throng at the drawing-room on Thursday evening last, when lie was i %tcothv n ohefao t ande e uats n r lte c dtthd e himselfrenpr :o t nt e w d t hmhbh b oi es by an had permitted _.sa interference,ed introduced fa t nt inspector ewhna o(( teefotdi had dt o oni police, ha f ndcgenfoeot Cnrsu oe demandedrtt uotht reo costume, hsof t w ae h s ovtehuot hallsumtr tor o d he u i k : o b on p wf fm : hs t wos a e i t monarch, had James's,i his ci_hxmsh upon the mere representative of royalty in Dublin The in- sector confessed that he was not fully prepared to assign a true and veritable cause for this anomalous circumstance. So it was—' But wherefore it was so 'twas not in him to say' --and all that he knew was, that if Mr. did not take himself away, he (the inspector) would have to discharge that office for him. Mr. looked unutterable things at the inspector, but having the fear of the stretcher, as well as his person before his eyes, ' pulled his bonnet over his brow,' and, thrusting both hands desperately into his breeches pockets, walked away evidently disconcerted. Some Galway gentlemen, who happened to be entering the saloon just at the moment that Mr. was ascending the stairs, and be fore the ill-omened inspector had crossed his path, meanwhile spread the report that Mr. —, the barrister, had been ad mitted, and was one of the company ; and this mischievous rumogr having reached the ears of some of the Castle officials, two inspectors of police, attired in ball costume!' were in troduced law the ball-room for the purpose of ejecting the intruder, in case he sbgald be found among the courtiers. It is needless to say, that, owifig to the interference of the officer on the stairs, the search was unafailing.",l-Globe. MISCELLANEOUS The Rey. Dr. Daly was consecrated Bishop of Cashel on Sunday last, in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. Upw , ards of 350 invalids and strangers from England have rived at Madeira during the last t‘;"0 months, The heads of houses at Oxford have determined to peti- on against the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor. Lord O'Neill was elected an Irish representative on Mon- Lord Oranmore was the other candidate, but he only , 2d one vote—that of Lord Trimleston. BRITISH AssoclA•rioN.—The Earl of Rosse has intimated at the next general meeting of the British Association will obtain, ,e held at Cork, in the month of August. Doctor Le Blanc, Master of Trinity Hall, died at Cam 'ridge last week. The appointment to the vacant office is n the hands of the Fellows of the College. The great mercantile house of Paulin, Milin, and Son, of 3ottenberg, has declared itself insolvent ; the debts are dated at 504,000 dollars, the assets at 759,000 dollars. A dividend of is per share has been declared on the Green wich Railway. The income from the traffic for the last half year was 27,106. The Aftonblad. of Stockholm, states, that the illness of the King of Sweden is more serious than has been officially announced. Earl Somers has distributed among his tenantry at Leigh, Worcestershire, a large part of the game lately killed on his lordship's preserves. JANUARY AND DECEMDER.—An old conple, whose united ages amount to 150 years, the swain being about 85, and the lady acknowledging to the remainder, were united in wed lock at Cambridge on Thursday last. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT.—When a certain gentle man presented his church with the tables of the ten com mandments, it was wittily said that he gave them away because he could not keep them.—. Boston Post. Puctifians.—Upwards of 17,000 hogsheads of these fish have been exported this year from St. Ives, being the largest quantity ever exported from that place in a single year.— West Briton. ANTI -CORN-LAW LEAGUE.—We learn that 17 bales, con taining 5000 packages of the publications issued by the league, have arrived in this city, and will be immediately in course of distribution.—Glasgow Argus. An official list of the number of insolvents in Sydney, New South Wales, and the neighbourhood, shows that 392 per sons have become insolvent from Feb. Ist to Aug. 4th, 1842, the total amou n t of whose liabilities is stat e d t o b e £1,225,000 The fine skipper Yacht Arundel, bound f or H ong K o n g , took the ground on Winchelsea track, on the Sussex coast, on Saturday last, and soon became a complete wreck. She was laden with general merchandize. The crew were saved. A servant of the London and Brighton Railway, named Tuckett, was run over by one of the trains on that line, on Saturday last, and killed. Tiie top and back part of his head were literally cut off, leaving his face uninjured. We understand that Mr. Stephenson, junior secretary to the Premier, will succeed Mr. Drummond as chief private secretary, and Mr. Arbuthnot, of the Treasury, supply the place. of Mr. Stephenson.—Standard. The marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, is to take place in the ensuing month of March. The minister of Dawley, Salop, a poor and necessitous parish, applied to her Majesty the Queen-Dowager on behalf of the National Schools, lately established there, and in due time was honoured with a donation of £2O. One of Mr. Whitbread's keepers at " the Park," near Bedford, was attacked by a notorious poacher, named Sale, as he endeavoured to arrest him, a few nights since, and is at present in a precarious state. The poacher, however, is badly wounded also. On Saturday last a fire broke out in some temporary wooden sheds, at Powis Castle, the seat of the Earl of Powis, Shropshire. The sheds adjoined the old offices, over which are the splendid ball and supper rooms. The fire appeared alarming at first, but in about three hours was extinguished. Mr. Butler, an attorney, has published a letter in the Clonmel Constitution, in which he asserts that a bailiff was assaulted and robbed of a writ at the hall door of a magistrate not a hundred miles from Killemaule, and that the writ was against the same magistrate. On Saturday morning. during the fog, a Spanish vessel, laden with fruit and wine, drove against the cliffs, at Beachy head, and became a complete wreck. We regret to add, that 9 out of 13 men composing the crew (including a pilot taken on board at the Isle of Wight) were drowned. Durrow Abbey, the magnificent residence of the late Earl of Norbury, near Dublin, was all but destroyed by fire on Sunday last. The lata earl had commenced building a new part to the abbey, but it was stopped by his death. The old part is all gone. Most of the furniture is saved, but greatly injured. THE TEA TRADE, Jan. 30.—The deliveries of tea last week were again large, being 594,2351b5. The market is very steady by private contract ; but as several ships have arrived since our last with large supplies, there is less inclination to . - purchase. The Nonconformist and the Tablot, the former the organ of the Independents and the latter of the Papists, both of which have attained great popularity in their respective bodies, have appealed to their friends for subscriptions to assist them in carrying out their plans. According to the annual statement of the Jesuits of Friburg, the number of pupils in the famous boarding school in that city has much diminished since 1839. It had always pre viously contained above 400 scholars, but in 1840 it had only 276, and in 1841 only 273. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. — Last week a dog, belonging to Mr. D. Gunn, Nypster, was pursuing a hare, and while in the act of laying hold of her, pussy suddenly turned round, caught her antagonist's tongue, and bit it off. The poor dog survived but a few minutes, and the hare consequently es caped.—John o' Groat Journal. About three weeks since a woman, named Diprose, was examined, before the magistrates at Tonbridge Wells, for poisoning her husband, for the purpose of getting £BOO just previously left to him. She was acquitted for want of evi dence. Fresh facts have since come to light, and the inhabit ants, at a vestry meeting, have determined to prosecute her. Sir Peter Laurie has given notice of a motion at the next meeting of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers to the following effect, " That in the opinion of this cou r t, th e wood pavement in the Poultry is dangerous and inconvenient to the public, and ought to be taken up and replaced by granite pavemen . t." The sentence passe d on Mr . Robert Caldwell , solicitor, of Dublin, and w ho is at present confined in the Rich mon d Bridewell, has been commuted by the Lord Lieutenant from the term of two years to one, which will ex pi re i n a b out t wo months.

THE CHINESE TREATY.—Several of the New York papers have articles on this subject.

The change, it is rumoured, if gained by any means, will be by act of parliament, and not by rule of court.

EFFECT OF THE AMERICAN TARlFF.—Several cotton mills have lowered their wages 20 per cent. A number of girls employed at Lowell have l e ft i n consequ ence. What a commen t a ry on the high tariff ! To pass that, everything was promised to the operatives, who now complain that their wages are being lowered all over the country, so that they derive no advantage from either the tariff or the cheapness and abundance of provisions. —American Paper. WHY DON'T You DUN HlM."—This expression owes its origin to one John Dun, a famous bailiff of the town of Lincoln, so extremely active, and so dexterous in the manage ment of his busi . uess,. that it be came a p rover b w h en a man refused to pay his debts to say " Why don't you Dun him ?" that is, why don t you send Dun to arrest him? Hence it grew into a custom, and is now as old as s i nce th e d ays o f Henry VII. TILE FIRE AT SIR GEORGE LARPENTS.-It has been ascertained that this hon. baronet was not insured. M`Lean, the fireman, who, with another named Goddard, was buried in the ruins, we find, on inquiry at St. George's Ho s pit a l, i s still suffering severely from the dreadful injuries he has re ceived. His state is described as being very precarious, although hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery. He is a single man, and had only recently joined the brigade. Goddard has nearly recove red from the injuries be r ece i ve d in the accident, STATISTICS OF CRIME IN TOEISI,E OF MAN.—The fol lowing statement shows a considerable diminution in the list of convictions for crime, in this island for the last three years :—ln 1840: grand larceny, 9 ; riot (felony,) 1 ; riot (misdemeanour,) 7 ; petit larceny, 11 ; obtaining goods under false pretences, 1 ; in all 29.

Sun. The Morning Herald states that government is much en gaged with the affairs of the church, and considerable im provements are likely to be submitted to the House of Com mons early in the session. On Tuesday morning the Arch bishop of Canterbury waited upon Sir Robert Peel, and, with Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, &c., were occupied several hours in deliberation. Several divines were also present. The Bishop of London was unable to attend, on account of his indisposition. LUCKY VESSEL.—The brig Cordelia, Captain Clapp, cleared yesterday for Trinidad de Cuba, for her seventy second voyage, and her thirty-second in the last six years. The sixty-two passages out and home, for the last six years, average nineteen days and a half. She has never lost a top mast, nor sustained any damage sufficient for claim on the underwriters. For the last eight years she has lost but one man by sickness, and none by accident, and has neuer had a man sick at Trinidad. Of the last thirty-seven voyages, she had but one passage from Trinidad to Boston over twenty four days.—Boston Atlas. MESMERISM TRIUMPHANT.—At a late meeting of the mesmeric authorities (as reported in the Medical Times), it was stated by Dr. Elliotson, the president, that " the Duke of Marlborough had informed him, in a letter from Ireland, that, whilst at the Marquis of Ely's seat in that country, and strolling out in the morning, he came upon a very ferocious dog, chained in a farm-yard. His grace durst not approach this brute, but, standing at a respectful distance, mesmerised him ; and, going up, actually embraced the sleeping brute. The dog remained in the sleep for thirty minutes." The old proverb tells us " it is better to let sleeping dogs lie ; " and so do we. M i NAUGATON.—A true-bill was found 'against this man On Wednesday. One curious circumstance connected with him during the Queen's visit to Scotland, but whether it has anything to do with the lamented death of Mr. Drum mond is at present unknown. Upon the visit of her Majes ty, Sir Robert Peel invariably rode in one of the Royal carriages, while his private carriage was occupied on every public occasion by the deceased gentleman, who, from that circumstance, was taken for the Premier by the greater part of the spectators. It is stated that M'Naughten was very anxious to see the Premier while in Scotland, and Mr.Drun;i mond was pointed out as Sir Robert Peel • and this impres sion was further confirmed by seeing the deceased gentleman more than once leave the Premier's residence in Privy-gar dens. Since the tragical event the commissioners of police have increased the number of constables to do duty about the Government offices, and this will be extended to the houses of Parliament. The Rev. Dr. Bailey, whose case we have mentioned I several times—he having been committed for forgery —was, I on Wednesday last, tried at the Central Criminal Court. and sentenced to transportation for life. Mr. Justice Williams, in passing sentence, said. prisoner at the bar, it is my un welcome duty, and unwelcome with great truth I•may call it, to pass the sentence of the law upon a man holding your situ ation in society—a man who appears to have been possessed of distinguished talent, and fully capable of conducting him self either to the prejudice or to the advantage of society, and whose example, either one way or the other, was sure to be attended with effect—a person, my equal, whom I am compelled to address after the verdict of the jury, upon evi dence which has satisfied them of your guilt, and - I feel bound to add, has also satisfied myself, and has left no doubt on my mind of the propriety of that verdict. I shall not in sult your feelings by any further remark ; and probably the situation in which you now stand is the most poignant punish ment for the offence you have committed, and I will not aggravate it. It is my duty only to show that the law of England regards all men as equal before it, and if any dis tinction is made, a heavier punishment should fall upon him whose education and station in society ought to teach him not to break its enactments. The sentence upon you is. that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of your life. The prisoner, on hearing the sentence, bowed to the court, and walked firmiy away from the bar, apparently not at all effected. The trial lasted for twelve hours. s)l)tpping TUESDAY, JANUARY 31.—Wind S.W. fresh ARRIVED.—Lanark, Bainbridge, and Strabo, Shoof, from Mobile —Tyrian, Jackson, from Natchez—Birkenhead, Brown, from New Orleans—Jane Prowse, from Lima, in 110 days—Ann, Kes wick, from Maranhatn ; sailed 28th Dec.—Enpheinia, Dearness, from Malta—Brilliant, Williams, from Palermo—Cookson, from Trieste—Hope, Logan, from Marseilles—and Mary, Turner, from Antwerp.

Holders are willing sellers and occasionally make a concession to effect sales of quan tity, being anxious to advise by the steamer on Saturday next. The sales yesterday were 4000, and to-day 5000 bales, almost ex clusively to the trade. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 31. With several further arrivals added to those of Friday, the receipts into this port since Tuesday last comprise a tolerable supply of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, including a few small parcels of Grain, coastwise ; but of foreign we are still without any to report. Although at this day's market we had a rather better at tendance than last week, the proceedings in any branch of the trade exhibited very little animation, and every article, with the exception of Oats, was somewhat depressed in value. The transactions in Wheat, confined to necessitous buyers, were upon a limited scale, merely to serve their immediate wants, and all kinds of Foreign were the turn cheaper; whilst the best qualities of Irish hardly maintained late prices, all damp and inferior descriptions receding Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs. Of farmers' Wheat samples were rather nume rous, and very little sold, although offered on lower terms. English and Irish flour, with a fair demand for the latter, must be noted 6d per sack, and Foreign, with a dull sale, 6d per barrel under last week's rates. Malting and Grinding Barley were in slow request, at a small decline in value; and Malt barely supported former prices. Beans and Pease continued to rule in the same dull state as before. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, FEBRUARY 2, 1843 We have only had a very scanty supply of Potatoes into port during the past seven days, principally Irish of a very superior quality. which have realised the full currency of this day week. There is a very marked improvement both in colour and quality in the produce of the sister island this season. Tile arrivals yesterday and to-day is to a fair extent, which has in some measure, checked the operations of our town retail trade, and country dealers, it being general anticipated now that the wind is favourable for inward bound vessels, that we shall have a considerable accession to the quantity now in dock, and that the prices must give way—however there is no material quotable de cline at present. Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups Is 3d to is 5d ac cording to quality.
