SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, -FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16. Of Wheat, Oats, Flour and Oatmeal, a moderate supply only, with a few small parcels of Barley, have been received into this port from Ireland since Tuesday last, but none worth naming coastwise, and no further arrivals whatever of foreign Grain or Flour : notwithstanding which, the Corn trade here, from the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, was on the whole quiescent, showing, for most leading iilticies, a little tendency Having very few either town or country buyers in attend ance this morning, and the millers anticipating better sup plies ere long from the growers, who have hitherto brought very little new grain forward, free Wheats of all descriptions experienced a very dull sale, and though English and Foreign were not generally offered on lower terms, a decline of Id. to 2d. was, in partiafinstances, submitted to, from the dimi nished rates of Tuesday, and Irish New Wheat was dec d edly 3d. per 70 lb. cheaper. Flour also, in consequenee of its being held at prices relatively higher than Wheat, was extremely difficult of sale at an abatement of Is. per sack. Barley remaining scarce, fully maintained our previous quotations. Malt, Beans, and Peas continued to rule in all respects the same as last noted. On the absence of country demand to-day, Oats and Oat meal were very unsaleable, and the dealers calculating upon lower prices, the former may be considered Md. to Id. per 45 lb., and the latter the turn cheaper. In bonded Grain and Flour, the transactions have been ♦ery unimportant, and without any material change in prices. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

And thou wert still unaltered—and my heart Forgave the world its fickleness, in which Thou hadst no part ; And I forgot that thou couldst never be More than a thought—a memory to me ! It matter'd not, life's joys Are half of hope and half of memory made ; And both are dreams—and happiness itself Is but a shade— Before us ever in the distar.t view— We grafi) it not, however we pursue. And yet to meet thee thus, After long months of absence, and to'see Thy smile the same, and feel that time had wrought No change in thee, Were something more than those unreal things, Which hope oft promises, and memory brings. Thy voice fell on my heart, With its first charm unbroken by the years, Whose course have link'd a few brief scatter'd smiles With many tears ! Smiles which have shown on thee—and tears that fell Full often after bidding thee farewell ! And we have parted now ! Though to sail lightly on with fortune's tide, With hope's bright colours spread before thy view— Acd I to chide The lingering moments, with but memory's power To cheer the gloom of each succwding hour. Such—such is destiny ! The star is changed beneath whose light we met, Or 'twas thy star. not mine—and it were well Could I forget, For all things bright and happy cling to thee, And thus divide thee farther yet from me ! And though we meet again, And though thy smile be sweet, thy voice be kind, The distance will between us still remain, Which fate designed,— And thou and I a separate path must tread, Thy way thro' sunbeams—mine with clouds o'erspread CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE QUEEN-THE HEIR APPARENT-AND THE FAVOURITE. (From the Dublin Eveniity *Whilst Mr. O'Connell, with a license truly Hiber nian, is looking up to the Queen, as his mother, with f all the obedience of a dutiful heir apparent—and pro claiming that "though the crathur is young enough to be his grandaughter, he feels a filial affection for her"—[see his speech at Kanturk]—Lord Melbourne, with the license of a courtier, is taking advantage of the Queen's mother's facility, and enjoying the envi• able advantages of a FAVOURITE and a favoured minister. Court favourites were never much in favour with the people of England, from the days of Hugo Le De spenser to the present ; and the character of the reign iag "Pet of the Petticoats" is not calculated to re move a grudge of so long standing. We are as unapt as any body to interfere with the private arrangements or canvass the domestic affairs of the great, but we cannot, without a breach of public duty, pass over in silence the very unseemly intimacy which has domes ticated a nobleman not undistinguished in the courts of law for his exploits in the courts of gallantry, in the residence and constant society of the young and inexperienced Princess who sways the British septre. In truth there is in private life no matron of character —no mother holding a position in cot rect society, who would subject her dau g hters to such continual inter course with such a man, as that which the Viscount Melbourne enjoys with a Princess who has not yet at tained her twentieth birth-day. The following pointed and excellent observations on this subject, which we extract from the Spectator of Saturday, is but the ent. bodiment, in language of polished wit and refined sar casm, of the sentiments prevalent in all circles re specting this disproportioned and reprehensible fami liarity:— (Penal THE SPECTATOR.) As it is a part of the philosophy of this age to allow that kings are men, so some may think perhaps they do not ha zard overmuch in submitting that queens may be women. Such sophists would probably go on to persuade you that there is a stricter tie of regard between man and woman than between man and man; end that if a queen (feminine gen der) takes into her peculiar good graces a minister (mascu line), and walks, and talks, and rides, and dines with him for months together, by confession of the Gazette, having no other man-minister in the meantime to divide her attention or share her regard—this may be neither very correct in her majesty quoad queen, nor altogether prudent quoad woman; and that, by the same rule, if the said man-minister accepts and profits of such monopoly of the said walks, talks, &c., such conduct may neither be quite proper in him quoad minister, nor quite quite fair quoad man. But it is enough to reply to such stuff, that the Queen, being young, stands in need of instruc tion and protection ; and that the long vacation enables the favourite to impart lessons in political economy and the other branches of female education, with singular effect, and with a degree of benefit to the royal recipient, surely far above the price of the dinners, or any other favours—mentioned at least in the Gazette. History was certainly wrong in attributing any inconve niences, moral or political, to the old system of royal favour ites—now happily restored; and moral philosophy has always been both wrong and rude, in ascribing to women any natu ral weaknesses—such as a fondness for flattery, and the like. We have, therefore, merely to " declare against" both, in order to feel perfectly satisfied with the present order of things. Perfect satisfaction being restored, it only remains to clas sify this new and welcome specimen of a race thought to he extinct. Shall we link his name with the "gentle Mortimer" of Queen Isabella, or compare him with the unfortunate Troubadour of Scottish celebrity? In these unromantic times, we suspect, whatever other points of resemblance might he found, that the career of the modern favourite will be marked by no such interesting vicissitudes as rendered the fortunes of the former ill-fated couple matters for the ballad monger. We have no idea, in these days of gas lamps and railroads, that it will ever be "our painful duty to announce" such a disaster as that— " The treacherous governor of Windsor Castle having, at the dead of night, admitted Lyndhurst and Wellington through a subterranean passage into the castle, 'the gentle M—' was dragged from the royal presence, which he was adorning, and amidst the heart-rending cries of his distracted mistress, hurried away by his tory foes to certain death." Or— _ _ ; Sire regret to pay, that yesterday evening, while ber Ma jesty was supping with the Duchess of Kent, and listening, as usual, to the seraphics trains of The Favourite, Lord Broug ham, leading the way up a private staircase at the head of a small body of radical reformers, suddenly entered the Queen's apartments, and approaching the unhappy nobleman, glared on him for some time with looks indicative of the worst in tentions. His unexpected appearance and the constant twitching of his nose inspired the greatest alarm in the mind of the Queen; who, however, was too much terrified to call out, until Roebuck and other asssassins stepping forward, her Majesty, in a trembling voice, demanded the object of their proceeding. Roebuck made no reply, but ordered The Fa vourite `to quit a place of which be was unworthy.' The Favourite readily perceived the dreadful nature of his situa tion, and tremblingly clasped the robes of the Queen ; who at the same time endeavoured to screen him from his pursuers. But Brougham, at that instant drawing a dagger from the pocket of his plaid trousers, and rushingon the wretched man, plunged it into his bosom, shivering his lute to atoms by the force of the blow, while the Queen filled the room with her cries. The other radical reformers then setting on him, tore him from his royal protectress, and, dragging him into the ante-chamber, there with the assistance of the learned sod inhuman noblemen, despatched him with six-and-fifty wounds." But we may compare him, then, with the young and hand some Essex, the brave and accomplished Essex ? No doubt, with much propriety. And the two royal mistresses, one with the other? The only exception to the parallel seems to be, that in the former instance the Queen was old, the favourite young : with us the Queen is young, the favourite "id- Again, Elizabeth, it may be urged, was not only old but ugly, and not only ugly but masculine and a shrew; our well-beloved Queen, on the contrary, is not only young but pretty, and n o t o nly pr e tty but feminine and good-natured. For the last ieason, it may be doubted also, whether her Ma jesty ever boxes Lord M 's ears; and even supposing she mere to do so ' on some sufficient provocation, it may be doubted whether Lord M would clap his hand to his sword and Swear " he would not take it from her father." tme be considered more probable that the Lamb-like Lord of 'turn the other Cheek:" • t . !1 , 71 . - "' • d 3 7 sort 40"' t-j; Iv !,::;:-4.; - Lastly, can we liken the modern favourite to the famous Earl of Leicester—Oh ! fie, no. What ? Leicester—de scribed as " possessed of neither virtue nor abilities !" But perhaps one happier point of resemblance between the cir cumstances of the two noblemen may induce you to tolerate the comparison. It is remarked, we think by Hume, that if the paramount influence in the state enjoyed by Leicester was an evil for the country, it was in a great measure counterbalanced by the extraordinary merits of his contemporaries and official colleagues—the gifted Burleigh and the celebrated Chancellor Bacon. So if any one should be of opinion that the glorious life and slippered ease—the " otiumlcum (sine ?) dignitate" of the major domo of Windsor Castle, are at all at variance with the arduous duties of a prime minister of England, such person, we conceive, must derive comfort the moment he re flects, that his lordship is associated in office with the great Glenelg and the immortal Cottenham. THE BREACH IN THE CONCLAVE. PAPISTICAL UNITY. From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Which ever of the National Board it was that re fused a grant to the Rev. James Mac Hale (brother to John of 'foam) for a National School to be kept in his own [brother James's] house, has at least done this good in his generation, namely, that he has rent asun der the flimsy pretence of unity of doctrine and disci pline on which the Church of Rome was wont to rely as a mark of her oithodoxy and divine original. This incident, trifling as it was, has given birth to a contro versy which, involing the Roman prelates in the most contradictory opinions respecting the casket of the faith committed to their charge, dispels the illusion that the faith and discipline of their church—emanat ing, as they are-said to do, from one infallible centre — are one and the same; and it for ever undermines the claim, asserted by the Romish hierarchy, to a right of determining for individuals all matters of controversy, independently of the conscience or private judgment of their communicants. Here, for instance, are•two leading prelates of the t Church of Rome [for Dr. Mur ray has left the bush, and taken to the open field against his brother of St. Jarlath's] at direct issue, not only on the religious education of their flocks, but on the interpretation, force, and authority of a synodical decree of the entire conclave of bishops, issued ex ca thedra, in the year 1826. We say nct which of them is in the right ; but that one of them must be in the wrong. But more : each party claims adherents amongst the hierarchy; it follows, then, that one por tion of the Popish bishops of Ireland differs from the other portion of the same body on subjects of vital importance to the faith. The question then arises— which leader or party is the laity to follow ? How are the questions at issue to be decided (now that the in fallible authority is divided against itself, and its in-. fluence thus neutralised) except by the private judg meat of the laity ? Some will tell us of an appeal to Rome 1 If that. would have settled the dispute we should never have heard of it in public; for the cham pions have appealed to Rome already (as lately ap peared in all the papers) and the continuance of the controversy in public proves the insufficiency of the infallible chair for the decision of the controversy. But the champions have taken another course, and they have both appealed to the tribunal of public opinion— a practice as novel, we will venture to say, in the pru dent tactics of their church, as it will ultimately prove fatal. For the appeal is now to the private judgment of the laity : and the laity will soon discover that, if their private judgments suffice for the determination of such matters as are now in controversy between the bishops, they are competent, by a parity of reasoning, to decide on matters of doubt between the bishops and themselves, and not only to decide which of the two bishops is right, but to judge whether any of their bishops be right at all. This controversy is so edifying that we must trace it to its original. On the 30 oth of May, 1837, Dr. John M'Hale, the Titular Archbishop of Tuam, made application, in a letter bearing his sign manual, to the National Board, for aid towards the establishment of a national school in Hollymount. " This application unfortunately," says Dr. Murray in his letter to his Titular cunfrete, " was of such a nature, that the commissioners did not think themselves at liberty to accede to it. It was for a sum of money to establish a school in the dwelling house of the Rev. James M'Hale. What new light," adds Dr. Murray, with his wonted suavity and slyness of humour—" what new light this disappointment may have thrown upon the national system it is not for me to guess." Nor for us either; for it is not our part to insinuate—as we fear Dr. Murray has done — the detection of a job enveloped in " the sacred de posit of the faith." All we know is what Dr. Murray tells us—and that is, that at the next synodical meet ing of the heirarchy—viz., in the February following, Dr. Mac Hale, " in no measured terms, animadverted on the commissioners for their imputed partiality, and harangued the meeting on the dangerous tendency of the system which they administered." We do not pretend to trace here the cause and effect, nor to say propter hoc quia post hoc ; all we are concerned to know—all that the Roman Catholic laity are required to exercise their private judgment upon, is the fact, that since this event the orthodoxy of the Church of Rome has been split in twain—that what is 9rthodar in Leinstef, is heterodox in Connaught—that the lead ing prelates of the Roman Catholic Church disagree Concerning " the sacred deposit of the faith ;" and that the synodical decree, upon which one of the par ties takes its stand, is despised and trodden under foot by the other as a matter of temporary humbug, no longer binding since no longer convenient. In this condition we cheerfully leave the theological combatants—and commit them to the surveillance and private judgment of their lay communicants. But there is another party to the question at issue—and that is, the Protestant community of Ireland. And for this party it is our duty to watch, and to warn them of whatever may concern their interests and welfare. To them, we say, that, Whatever reason Roman Ca tholics may have to be satisfied with the national sys tem under Dr. Murray's patronage—they (the Pt otes tants) have the very reverse. This system—as Dr. Murray triumphantly informs his rev, antagonist— " does not breathe an atmosphere tainted with the poison of heresy." To translate the Doctor's court phraseology into the vulgar tongue, and say that he exults because the breath of Protestantism is not al lowed to be felt in the national schools, were a super fluity as wasteful and ridiculous as to paint the lily or add a perfume to the violet. But when he informs us, as he does, that "of the masters now in training, seven eighths are of the [Romish] faith," it behoves us to inquire, and him to explain, what is meant under a system so preponderantly Popish by the terms "joint education of which Protestants and Roman Catholics may equally partake withoutdanger of proselyteism ?" Doctor M'Hale complains that the system is not Po pish enough—but that which is enough for Doctor Murray is far too much for Protestants: and having said this, we have exhausted the controversy between the National Board and the Established Church. Let Murray and Mac Hale contend for the more or less. The Protestants of Ireland will have nothing to do with either. The letter which occasions those remarks will be found in our subsequent columns. We doubt much whether the very gracious style of the editor of Dens will much appease the offended bile of the sucsessor of St. Jarlath. The motto of his answer will probably be— " Grace me no Grace—nor uncle me no uncleF." THE ACOEN.—If an acorn be suspended by a piece of thread within half an inch of the surface of some water con tained in a hyacinth glass, and so permitted to remain with out being disturbed, it will, in a few months, burst and throw a root down into the water, and shoot upwards its straight and tapering stein; with beautiful little green leaves. A young oak tree growing in this way on the mantel-shelf of a room is a very elegant and interesting object. I have seen several oak trees, and also a chesnut tree, thus growing; but all of them, however, have died after a few months, probably owing to the water not being ch anged su ffi ciently often to afford them the necessary quantity of nourishment from the matter contained in it.—Gardener's Gazette. MINING AND MINERS.—The total ignorance of almost every thing relating to the sciences of geology and minera logy, and, above all, of chemistry, in the conductors of mines and their agents, is not only matter of regret, but, it can hardly be doubted, is also the cause of much loss to the ad venturers in mines, to the lords of the soil. and to the buyers of the ore. If a spirit of inquiry had existed, which some knowledge of these sciences could not have failed to produce, much cobalt would not have been thrown away upon the heaps of Dolcoath, and some other mines; nor would bismuth in Wheal Sparnon have been mistaken for cobalt; nor would the roads have been mended with copper ore; nor would the ponderous ore which contained silver, in Herland mine, have been left to the chance that discovered its value • nor would many miners, in opposition to the known principles and pro perties of mineral bodies, believe, even to this day, in the re generation of metals. While in France and Germany there are national institutions for the education of those intended to conduct the workings of mines in the three important branches of science above alluded to, and which are so inti mately connected with their occupation, in this country all is left to accident ; and the rich girls which nature has bestowed upon us are consequently often neglected, or lavishly thrown away.—Geological Transactions. DIALS OF CHURCH CLOCKS.—One considerable feature in erecting church clocks, is the manner of constructing the dials, many of which are made of copper; but these are now found objectionable, so far as regards the cost, for if large and hammered out of a single piece of copper of sufficient strength, without being made very ' convex, they are exceed ingly expensive. The section of a copper dial is necessarily elliptical; the consequence therefore is, that the sun takes more effect upon the upper than the lower part of the dial, and copper being, like other metals, a good conductor of heat, and no absorbent, the paint soon perishes by the joint influ ence of sun and rain, especially on the upper half; and this inconvenienee is often aggravated by a disproportionate in crease of convexity commonly resorted to in order to obtain a certain degree of strength with an inadequate quantity of material. Having of late made several large clock dials of sheet zinc, I am convinced, if made of good malleable zinc, and well managed, they will answer the purpose quite as well as copper, and at not more than one-third of the expense. But by far the best kind of dial is that made of the fine grit stone forminc , part of the building —stone being a better ab sorbent, and not so good a conductor of heat —therefore the paint adheres better and lasts longer. Another advantage of the stone-dial is, that the centre can be sunk, and the hour hand made to traverse in the hollow ; this alloys the minute band to lie closer to the figures, and the effect of parallax is avoided, which on flat dials is considerable, especially when the minute-hand lies near to 15 and 45 minutes. In the case of brick buildings, economy might be considered, by making the dial of mastic or roman cement, and the centre and figure sunk as described. This sort of clock-dial would cost com paratively little, and would be very durable. In my opinion the dials of many of the church clocks which are now made, are much too small to have a good effect in showing the time; and it is a curious fact that even the largest of them are con siderable smaller than the common run of public clock faces formerly executed, and much smaller than the faces of the public clocks which are made on the continent, particularly in Italy. The dial in the Piazza de St. Marco, at Venice, which is elevated 45 feet from the ground, is about 17 feet 7 inches diameter.—Abbott's Treatise on the Management of Public Clocks: PASSAtIE IN THE SECRET HISTORY OF AN IRISH COUNTESS, BEING THE FIFTH EXTRACT FROM THE LEGACY OF THE LATE FRANCIS PURCELL, P. P., OF DRUAICOOLAGH. (Continued from the Standard of Tuesday last.) I awaited the arrival of my uncle, which was every mo meut to be expected, with feelings half of alarm, half of curiosity—a sensation which I have often since experienced, though to a less degree, when upon the point of standing fur the first time in the presence of one of whom I have long been in the habit of hearing or thinking of with interest. It was, therefore, with some little perturbation that I heard, first a slight bustle at the outer door,then a slow step traverse the hall, and finally witnessed the door open, and my uncle enter the room. He was a striking looking man—from pecu liarities both of person and of garb, the whole effect of his appearance amounted to extreme singularity. He was tall, and when young his figure must have been strikingly elegant; as it was, however, its effect was marred by a very - decided stoop; his dress was of a sober colour, and in fashion ante rior to any thing which I could remember. It was, however, handsome, and by no means carelessly put on; but what completed the singularity of his appearance was his uncut, white hair, which hung in long, but not at all neglected curls, even so far as his shoulders, and which combined, with his re gularly classic features ' and fine dark eyes, to bestow upon him an air of venerable dignity and pride which I have never seen equalled elsewhere. I rose as he entered, and met him about the middle of the room; he kissed my cheek and both my hands, saying— " You are most welcome, dear child, as welcome as the command of this poor place and all that it contains can make you. lam most rejoiced to see you—truly rejoiced. trust that you are nut much fatigued--pray be seated again." lie led me to my chair, and continued, " I am glad to per ceive you have made acquaintance with Emily already ; I see, in your being thus brought together, the Inundation of a lasting friendship. You are both innocent, and both young. God bless you—God bless you, and make you all that I could wish." He raised his eves, and remained for a few moments silent, as if in secret pra)er. I felt that it was impossible that this man, with feelings so quick, so warm, so tender, could be the wretch that public'opinion had represented him to be. I was more than ever convinced of his innocence. His manner was, or appeared to me, most fascinating—there was a mingled kindness and courtesy in it which seemed to speak benevolence itself—it was a manner which I felt cold art could never have taught—it owed most of its charm to its ap pearing to emanate directly from the heart—it must be a genuine index of the owner's mind—so I thought. My uncle having given me fully to understand that I was most welcome, and might command whatever was his own, pressed me to take some refreshment ; and on my refusing, he ob served that previously to bidding we good night, he had sonic duty further to perform, one in whose observance he was convinced 1 would cheerfully acquiesce. He then pro ceeded to read a chapter from the Bible; after which he took his leave with the same affectionate kindness with which he had greeted rne, having repeated his desire that I should con sider every thing in his house as altogether at my disposal. It is needless to say that I was much pleased with my uncle —it was impossible to avoid being so; and 1 could not help saying to myself, if such a man as this is not safe from the assaults of slander, who is? I felt much happier than I had done since my father's death, and enjoyed that night the first refreshing sleep which had visited me since that event. My curiosity respecting my wale cousin did not long remain unsatisfied—he appeared upon the next day at dinner. His manners, though not so coarse as I had expected, were ex ceedingly disagreeable; there was an assurance and a for wardness for which I was not prepared : there was less ofthe vulgarity of manner, and almost more of that of the mind, than I had anticipated. I felt quite uncomfortable in his presence; there wasjust that confidence in his look and tone, which would read encouragement even in mere toleration : and I felt more disgusted and annoyed at the coarse and ex travagant compliments which he was pleased from time to time to pay me, than perhaps the extent of the atrocity might fully have warranted. It was, however, one consolation that he did not often appear, being much engrossed by pursuits about which I neither knew nor cared any thing; but when he did appear, his attention, either with a view to his amuse ment, or to some more serious advantage, were so obviously and perseveringly directed to me, that young and inexperi enced as I was, even / could not be ignorant of his pre ference. I felt more provoked by this odious persecution than I ca❑ express, and discouraged him with so much vigour, that I employed even rudeness to convince him that his assiduities were unwelcome—but all in vain. _ . This had gone on for nearly a twelvemonth, to my infinite annoyance, when one day, as I was sitting at some needle work with my companion Emily, as was my habit, in the par lour, the door opened, and my cousin Edward entered the room. There was something, I thought, odd in his manner— a kind of struggle between shame and impudence—a kind of flurry and ambiguity, which made him appear, if possible, more than ordinarily disagreeable. Your servant, ladies," he said, seating himself at the same time; " sorry to spoil your tete-a-tete; but never mind, I'll only take Emily's place for a minute or two, and then we part for a chile, fair cousin. Emily, my father wants you in the corner turret—no shills shally, he's in a hurry." She hesitated : " be off—tramp, march," he exclaimed, in a tone which the poor girl dared not disobey. She left the room, and Edward followed her to the door. He stood there for a minute or two, as if reflecting what he should say, perhaps satisfying himself that no one was within hearing in the hall. At length he turned about, having closed the door as if carelessly with his foot, and advancing slowly, as if in deep thought. he took his seat at the side of the table opposite to mine. There was a brief interval of silence, after which he said— " I imagine you have a shrewd suspicion of the object o my early visit; but I suppose I must go into particulars. Must I ?" "I have no conception," I replied, " what your object may " Well, well," said he, becoming more at his ease as he proceeded, "it may be told in a few words. You know that it is totally impossible, quite.out of the question, that an off hand young fellow like me, and a good-looking girl like yourself, could meet continually, as yuu and I have done, without an attachment—a liking growing up on one side or other;—in short, I think I have let you know as plain as if 1 spoke it, that I have been in love with you, almost from the first time I saw you.' He paused; but I was too much hor rified to speak. He interpreted my silence favourably. " 1 can tell you," he continued, " I'm reckoned rather hard to please, and very hard to hit. I can't say when I was taken with a girl before; so you see fortune reserved me —" Here the odious wretch wound his arm round my waist. The action at once restored me to utterance, and with the most indignant vehemence I released myself from his hold, and at the same time said— " I have not, been insensible, sir, of your most disagree able attentions. They have long been a source of much an noyance to me; and you must be aware that I have marked my disapprobation, my disgust, as unequivocally as I possi bly could, without actual indelicacy." I paused, almost out of breath from the rapidity with which I had spoken ; and without giving him time to renew the conversation, I hastily quitted the room, leaving him in a paroxysm of rage and mortification. As I ascended the stairs, I heard him open the parlour door with violence, and take two or three rapid strides in the direction in which I was moving. I was now much frightened, and ran the whole way until I reached my room, and having locked the door, I listened breathlessly, but heard no sound. This relieved me for the present ; but so much had I been overcome by the agitation and annoyance attendant upon the scene which I had just gone through, that when my cousin Emily knocked at my door, I was weeping in strong hysterics. You will readily conceive my distress, when you reflect upon my strong dislike to my cousin Edward, combined with my youth and extreme inexperience; any proposal of such a nature must have agitated me—but that it should have come from the man whom of all others I most loathed anti abhorred, and to whom I had, as clearly as wanner could do it, expressed the state of my feelings, was almost too overwhelming to be bore ; it was a calamity, too,lin which I could not claim the sympathy of my cousin Emily, which had always been ex tended to me in my minor grievances. Still I hoped that it might not be unattended with good, for I thought that one inevitable and most welcome consequence would result from this painful eclaircissement, in the discontinuance of my cou sin's odious persecution. When I arose next morning, it was with the fervent hope that I might never again behold the face, or even hear the name of my cousin Edward; but such a consummation, though devoutly to - be wished, was hardly likely to occur. The painful impressions of yesterday were too vivid to be at once erased; and I could not help feeling some dim fore boding of coming annoyance and evil. To expect on my cousin's part anything like delicacy or consideration for me, was out of the question. I saw't hat he had set his heart upon my property, and that he was not likely easily to forego such an acquisition—possessing what might have been considered opportunities and facilities almost to compel my compliance. I. now keenly felt the unreasonableness of my father's con duct in placing me to reside with a family of all whose mem bers, with one exception, he was wholly ignorant, and I hilted:• felt the belplessness of my situation. I determined, however, in the case of my cousin's persevering in his ad dresses, to lay all the particulars before my uncle, although he had never in kindness or intimacy gone a step beyond our first interview, and to throw myself upon his hospitality and his sense of honour for protection against a repetition of such scenes. My cousin's conduct may appear to have been an inadequate cause fur such serious uneasiness; but my alarm was caused neither by his acts nor his words, but en tirely his manner, which was strange and even intimidating to excess. At the beginning of the yesterday's interview, there was a sort of bullying swagger in his air which towards the end gave place to the brutal vehemence of an undisguised ruffian—a transition which had tempted me into a belief that he might seek even forcibly to extort from me a consent to his wishes, or by means still more horrible, of which I scarcely dared to trust myself to think, to possess himself of my property. I was early next day summoned to attend my uncle in his private room, which lay in a corner turret of the old building, and thither I accordingly went, wondering all the way what this unusual measure Might prelude. When I entered the room, he did not rise in his usual courteous way to greet me, but simply pointed to a chair opposite to his own—this boded nothing agreeable. I sat down, however, silently waiting till he should open the conversation. " Lady Margaret," at length he said, in a tone of greater sternness than I thought him capable of using, " I have hi therto spoken to you as a friend, but I have not forgotten that I am also your guardian, and that my authority as such gives me a right to control your conduct. I shall put a question to you, and I expect and will demand a plain, direct answer. Have I rightly been informed that you have con temptuously rejected the suit and hand of my son Edward ?" I stammered I'm th, with a good deal of trepidation— ' " I believe—that is, I have, Sir, rejected my cousin's pro posals; and my coldness and discouragement might have convinced hiin that I had determined to do so." " Madam," replied he, with suppressed, but, as it appeared to me, intense anger, " I have lived long enough to know that coldness and discouragement, and such terms, form the common cant of a worthless coquette. You know to the full, as well as I, that coldness and discouragement may he so ex •hibited as to convince their object that he is neither distaste ful or indifferent to the person who wears this manner. You know, too, none better, that an affected neglect, when skil fully managed, is amongst the most formidable of the en gines which artful beauty can employ. I tell you, madam, that having, without one word spoken in discouragement, permitted my son's most marked attentions fora twelvemonth or more, you have no right to dismiss him with no further explanation than demurely telling him that you had always looked coldly upon him, and neither your wealth nor your ladyship (there was an emphasis of scorn on the word, which would have become Sir Giles Overreach himself) can war rant you in treating with contempt the affectionate regard of an honest heart."_ I was too much shocked at this undisguised attempt to bully me into an acquiescence in the interested and unprin cipled plan for their own aggrandisement, which I now per ceived my uncle and his so❑ to have deliberately entered into, at once to find strength or collectedness to frame an answer to what he had said. At length I replied with some firmness— " In all that you have just now said, Sir, you•have grossly misstated my conduct and motives —your information must have been incorrect, as far as it regards my conduct towards my cousin ; my manner towards him could have conveyed nothing but dislike; and it' any thing could have added to the strong aversion which I have long felt towards him, it would be his attempting thus to trick and frighten me into a marriage which he knows to be revolting to me, and which is sought by him only as , a means for securing to himself whatever property is mine. As I said this, I fixed my eyes anon those of my uncle, but he was too old in those of the world's ways to faulter beneath the gaze of more searching eyes than mine; he simply said— " Are you acquainted with the provisions of your father's will?" I answered in the affirmative; and he continned—" Then you must be aware that if my son Edward were, which God forbid, the unprincipled, reckless man, you pretend to think him"—(here he spoke very slowly, as if he intended that every word that escaped him should be registered in my me mory, while at the same time the expression of his counte nance underwent a gradual and horrible change, and the eyes which he fixed upon me became so darkly vivid, that I almost lost sight of every thing else)— if he were what you have described him, think you, girl, he could find ❑o briefer means than wedding contracts to gain his twas but to gripe your slender neck until the breath had stopped, and lands, and lakes, and all were his." I stood staring at him for many minutes after he had ceased to speak, fascinated by the terrible, serpent-like gaze, until he continued with a welcome change of countenance— " I will not speak again to you, upon this topic, until one month has passed. You shall have time to consider the re lative advantages of the two courses which are open to you. I should be sorry to hurry you to a decision. lam satisfied with having stated my feelings upon the subject, and pointed out to yuu_the path of duty. Remember this day month—" He then rose, and I left the room, much agitated and ex hausted. This interview, all the circumstances attending it, but most particularly the formidable expression of my uncle's counte nance while he talked, though hypothetically, of murder, combined to arouse all my worst suspicions of him. I dreaded to look upon the face that had so recently worn the appalling livery of guilt and malignity. I regarded it with the mingled fear and loathing with which one looks upon an object which has tortured them in a night-mare. In a few days after the interview, the particulars of which have just detailed, I found a note upon my toilet-table, and on opening it I lead as follows— "My dear Lady Margaret,—You will be, perhaps, stir prised to see a strange face in your room to-day. I have dis missed your Irish maid, and secured a French one to wait upon you—a step rendered necessary by my proposing shortly to visit the Continent, with all my family. Your faithful guardian, Arthur T—n." On inquiry, I found that my faithful attendant was actually gone, and far on her way to the town of Galway; and in her stead there appeared a tall, raw-boned, ill-looking, elderly Frenchwoman, whose sullen and presuming manaers seemed to imply that her vocation had never before been that of a lady's-maid. 1 could not help regarding her as a creature of my uncle's, and therefore to be dreaded, even had she been in no other way suspicious. Days and weeks passed away, without any, even a momen tary doubt upon my part, as to the course to be pursued by me. The allotted period had at length elapsed ; the day ar rived upon which I was to communicate my decision to my uncle. Although my resolution had never for a moment wa vered, I could not shuke off the dread of the approaching col loquy; and my heart sunk within me as I heard the expected summons. I had not seen my cousin Edward since the oc currence of the grand eclaircissement ; he must have studi ously avoided inc-1 suppose from policy, it could not have been from delicacy. I was prepared for a terrific burst of fury from my uncle, as soon as I should make known my de termination; and I not unreasonably feared that souse act of violence or of intimidation would next be resorted to. Filled with these dreary forebodings, I fearfully opened the study door, and the next minute I stood in my uncle's presence. He received me with a politeness which I dreaded, as arguiug favorable anticipation respecting the answer which I was to give; and after some slight delay, he began by saying— "lt will be a relief to both of us, I believe, to bring this conversation as soon as possible to an issue. You will excuse me, then, my dear niece, for speaking with an abruptness which, under other circumstances, would be unpardonable. You have, I am certain, given the subject of our last inter view fair and serious consideration ; and I trust that you are now prepared with candour to lay your answer before me. A few words will suffice—we perfectly understand one another." He paused ; and 1, though feeling that I stood upon a mine which might in an instant explode, nevertheless answered with perfect composure, "I must now, Sir, make the same reply which I did upon the last occasion, and I reiterate the declar ation which I then made, that I never can nor will, while life or reason remain, consent to an union with my cousin Edward. This announcement wrought no apparent change in Sir Arthur, except that he became deadly, almost lividly pale. He seemed lost in dark thought for a minute, and then with a slight effort said, " You have answered me honestly and di rectly; and you say your resolution is unchangeable; well, would it had been otherwise—but be it as it is—l am satisfied." He gave me his hand—it was cold and damp as death ; un der an assumed calmness, it was evident that he was fearfully agitated. He continued to hold my hand with an almost painful pressure, while, as if unconsciously, seeming to forgot my presence, he muttered, "strange, strange, strange, indeed ! fatuity, helpless fatuity !" There was here a long pause. "Mad ness indeed to strain a cable that is rotten to the very heart— it must break—and then—all goes." There was again a pause of some minutes, after which, suddenly changing his voice and manner to one of wakeful alacrity, he exclaimed, " Mar garet, my son Edward shall plague you no more. He leaves this country on to-morrow for France—he shall speak no more upon this subject —never, never more—whatever events depended upon your answer must now take their own course; but as for this fruitless proposal, it has been tried enough; it can be repeated no more." At these words he coldly suffered my hand to drop, as if to express his total abandoninent of all his projected schemes of alliance; and certainly the action, with the accompanying words, produced upon my mind a more solemn and depressing effect than I believed possible to have been caused by the course which I had determined to pursue; it struck upon my heart with an awe and heaviness which will accompany the accomplishment of an important and irrevocable act, even though no doubt or scruple remains to make it possible that the agent should wish it undone. " Well," said my uncle, after a little time, "we now cease to speak upon this topic, never to resume it again—remember you shall have no farther uneasiness from Edward ; he leaves Ireland for France on to-morrow; this will be a relief to you; may I depend upon your honor that no word touching the subject of this interview shall ever escape you ?" I gave him the desired assurance; he said, "it is well—l am satisfied— we have nothing inure, I believe, to say upon either side, and my presence must he a restraint upon you; I shall therefore bid you farewell." I then left the apartment, scarcely know ing what to think of the strange interview which had just taken place. On the next day my uncle took occasion to tell me that Edward had actually sailed, if his intention had not been in terfered with by adverse circumstances; and two days subse quently he actually produced a letter from his son, written, as it said, on board, and despatched while the ship was getting ender weigh. This was a great satisfaction to me, and as being likely to prove so, it was no doubt communicated to me by Sir Arthur. During all this trying period, I had found infinite consolation in the society and sympathy of my dear cousin Emily. I never i n after-life formed a friendship so close, so fervent, and upon which, in all its progress, I could look back with feelings of such unalloyed pleasure, upon whose termination I must ever dwell with so deep, so yet unembit tered regret. In cheerful converse with her I soon recovered my spirits considerably, and passed my time agreeably enough, although still in the utmost seclusion. Matters went on smoothly enough, although I could not help sometimes feeling a momentary, but horrible uncertainty respecting my uncle's character, which was not altogether unwarranted by the cir cumstances of the two trying interviews whose particulars I have just detailed. The unpleasant impression which these conferences were calculated to leave upon my mind, was fast wearing away, when there occurred a circumstance, slight indeed in itself, but calculated irresistibly to awaken all my worst suspicions, and to overwhelm me again with anxiety and terror. I had one day left the home with my cousin Emily, in order to take a ramble of considerable length, for the purpose of sketching some favorite views, and we had walked about half a mile when I perceived that we had forgotten our drawing materials, the absence of which would have defeated the object of our walk. Laughing at our own thoughtlessness, we retur ned to the house, and leaving Emily without, I ran up stairs to procure the drawing•books and pencils which lay in my bed room. As I ran up the stairs, I was met by the tall, ill-look ing French woman, evidently a good deal flurried; " Que veut, Madame ?" said she, with a more decided effort to be polite than I had ever known her make before. " No, no— no matter," said I, hastily running by her in the direction of my room. " Madame," cried she, in a high key: " restez ici si vous plait, votre chambre n'est pas faite"—your room is not reedy for your reception yet. I continued to move on without heeding her. She was some way behind use, and feeling that she could not otherwise prevent my entrance, for I was now upon the very lobby, she made a desperate attempt to seize hold of my person ; she succeeded in grasping the end of my shawl, which she drew from my shoulders, but slipping at the same time upon the polished oak floor, she fell at full length upon the hoards. A little frightened as well as angry at the rudeness of this strange woman, I hastily pushed open the door of my room, at which I now stood, in order to escape from her; but great was my amazement on entering to find the apartment pre-occupied. The window was open, and beside it stood two male figures; they appeared to be examin ing the fastenings of the casement, and their backs were turned towards the door. One of them was my uncle ; they both had turned on my entrance, as if startled; the stranger was booted and cloaked, and wore a heavy broadsleafed hat over his brows;_ he turned but for a moment, an d averte d hi s face ; but I had seen enough to convince me t h at he was no ei said something as if i n a n other than my cousin Edward. My uncle h a d some i ron hi strurnent in his hand, which he hastily conceal e d b e hi n d hi s back; a nd co explanatory con founded to understand what it might be. H e sa id somet hi ng tone;ming bu t t owardsl was me, said much s h oc k e d and about "repairs—window-frames—cold and safety." I did not wait, however, to ask or receive explanations, but hastily left the room. As I went down the stairs, I thought I beard the voice of the French woman in all the shrill volubility of excuse, which was met, however, by suppressed but vehe ment imprecations, or what seemed to me to be such, in which the voice of my cousin Edward distinctly mingled. I joined my cousin Emily quite out of breath. I need not say that mylhead was too full of other things to think much of drawing for that day. I imparted to her frankly the cause of my alarms, but at the same time, as gently as I could; and with tears she promised vigilance, and devotion, and love. I never had reason for a moment to repent the unreserved con fidence which I then reposed in her. She was no less sur prised than I, at the unexpected appearance of Edward, whose departure for France neither of us had for a moment doubted, but which was now proved by his actual presence to be nothing more than an imposture practised, I feared, for no good end. The situation in which I had found my uncle had removed completely all my doubts as to his designs, I magnified suspicious into certainties, and dreaded night after night that I should be murdered in my bed. (To be concluded on Tuesday.) ROMAN CLOCKS.—ID the year 402 of the town, no other means were known for facilitating in some degree the calcu lation of the time to the Romans, than to set up a pole to mark the shorter shadow, consequently the hour of noon only. Of the sun-dial, properly so called, no one, as yet, had any idea. In Sicily, splendid sun-dials were discovered, of which one was brought from Catana to Rome, and set up without its occurring to any one to adapt its position to the meridian of Rome. It was soon discovered that nothing ceuld be done at Rome with a clock that had done extremely well at Catana; and the censor, Quninctus Marcius Phil lippus, had another set up. 'lbis however, proved as useless as the first. But that a method of reckoning time might not be altogether wanting, the renowned water-clock of Scipio was set up in lieu of the sun-dial, towards the close of the following century, as the suitable arrangement of sun-dials was despaired of. In later times Rome was ampl! provided with sun-dials. VIRTUES OF BREVITY.—Without pretending to speak definitively to this point, then, we may observe, that the " ex treme doctrine of silence," as we admitted in our former paper, is not capable of being put into practice in the present state of society. We are not ripe for it. We cannot yet communicate in pantomime like the 'l'arquins, or understand one another in allegory like Scvlurus and his eighty sons. A word or two, now and then, we fear, is a necessity of our con dition, and must remain so until "a perfect system of signals," as our nautical men designate the great object of their ambi tion, shall be devised, ;ir the genius of Pariurge descend amongst us and expound his my s tic science to this ignorant age. But brevity is practicable under ail circumstances, and " needs no ghost, my lords;" and it is to be insisted upon by all lawful means. Plutarch draws some excellent distinctions on the subject of quantity in discourse. He says, there are three ways in answering a question: I. The all that is neces sary way. 2. The civil way. 3. The superfluous way.— And these he illustrates in the following manner: Suppose that somebody asks, "Is Socrates at home?" Frst way.— " No!" Second way.—" Why, no; he is at dinner." (Or, if particularly disposed to be civil, then with the addition, " entertaining some guests.") Third, or superfluous way— " He is not at home, but he is at dinner with some lonian gentlemen, who have come with an introduction to him from Alcibiades, who is living at Miletus with Tisaphernes, the satrap of the King of Persia, who was formerly in alliance with the Lacedmmonians, but now with the Athenians, since Alcibiades, for the sake of f ac ili tat i ng a return to his country, has reconciled the monarch t o hi s co untrymen." And this speaker, continues Plutarch, will probably not stop here, but proceed to take . down Thucydides's history, reciting to you the whole of the eighth book, again taking Miletub, and again driving Alcibiades into banisbuient.—Montkly Chronicle.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 13: Although our imports since Tuesday last have been only to a moderate extent, and the weather has continued very unfavourable for agricultural operations, we have experienced a great dulness in this and all our country Corn markets during the past week ; and although our last quotations for the finer descriptions of every kind of Grain have been steadily demanded, a small reduction of 2d to 3d per 701 b on Wheat. id to ld per 451 b on Oats, Is per 2801 b on Flour, 6d to is per 2401 b on Oatmeal, has been submitted to on the few sales effected. “ud all other articles have participated a lit tle in this depression here, and in Manchester on Saturday, and also in the Yorkshire and London Corn markets of the past week. The only alterations in the duty on Grain iroin Foreign ports this week is a decrease of is per qr. on Wheat, and 7id per barrel on Flour; some few sales have been made of bonded Wheat and Flour at fully the prices quoted, and there is not much of either offering for sale in bond ; a few parcels of bonded Outs have found sales for export at 2s 10d to 3s per 451 b ; it is very likely that in another week or two the lowest dunes will be again payable on Vi and Flour from British Colonies. The supplies to this day's market have been considerably in creased by arrivals of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ire land, yesterday ; and the transactions to-day were only to a very limited extent, although the decline above-mentioned was fully submitted to. On the subject of the recent harvest re ports are various, and in some instances contradictory; but the op inions expressed in many interesting and intelligent letters in the Mark Lane Express, and by those on whom we have been accustomed to rely, are less so tint:. usual. In the great influential Corn districts of England to the south of Birmingham, particularly in those on the south east coast, and in the south of Ireland, the weather appears to hare been pretty favourable during the harvest, and the crops of Wheat are stated to be of very lair quality sad nearly an average in quan tity—hut no where are they stated to be a full average, and many reports state them one-eighth to one-sixth deficient; in this and in all other districts of England, and generally throughout Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. the quality, as might have been an ticipated from the very ungenial weather which has prevailed throughout the whole season—deficient of summer heat and sun shine—though less injured than usual by being laid or by sprouting, is shrivelled, ill fed and very inferior, particularly in Ireland, and the deficienvy is very decidedly stated to be one-fourth, one-third, and in some places even one-half of an average in quantity, which it is to he hoped will prove exaggerated. Of Oats, Barley, Beans, and Peas, reports appear almost every where favourable a,sto quan tity and quality, and excepting in backward situations, they hare been saved in pretty good condition, though it may probably still be found that the ungenial season has had some effect on these crops. Hay has been an abundant crop, but not so well saved, aed th'. weather has not been favourable fur its quality.laTurnips and Mange! Wurzel- will Once fair average crops; but of Potatoes reports generally throughout this district, Scotland and Ireland, are not favourable, either as to quantity or quality ; prices are now 2s Hid to 3s 4d per bushel of 90th, and the weather has been very unfavourable for securing this most important crop, and for the winter seed time thus far. From most of the Corn provinces in the north of Europe, par ticularly in the lower ports of the Baltic, accounts are favourable of their crops generally, and we have seen samples of their new Wheat of very good quality ; but from Poland they are not so favourable ; From the Upper Provinces of Canada and from the United States their (crops are stated to be better tl.au last year, though not a full average, and of Indian Corn they are reported very deficient; a very large export of Foreign Wheat took place from this port to the American Continent early this year, and nothing but very high prices in this kingdom will induce any export of . Grain or Flour from thence to us this season, though no doubt some quantity of Flour will go to the West Indies.

TEA —The demand continues limited for both black and green Tea, the late arrivals and others expected cause buyers to come forward cautiously ; importers, however, remain firm. particularly for Congou and Twankay, which have brought an advance on last sale's rates of Id to lid per lb.
