RHYMES FOR THE PEOPLE ABOUT CONFESSION. A young gentleman of this town, noticing the advertise ment, wrote him under the style of a female, stating her qualifications, and that she was possessed of £lOOO entirely at her own disposal ; in consequence of which a general correspondence ensued, and an interview between them was decided on as being the most proper mode of arranging matters, and ascertaining how each party would suit the ether. Accordingly, Wednesday evening, at half-past seven, was fixed for the time, and the cemetery the place of meeting. Long before the time appointed the gentleman in search of love was seen with an engraving of the cemetery, sent him by the should-be lady, wherein she pointed out the spot at which he was to meet her, comparing it with the place, and affecting an air of dignified importance, from which he was doomed to be lowered. Last (Friday) night we were concerned to learn that a number of extensive failures had taken place in Paisley. One house to the amount of £Bl,OOO. Hundreds of straggling workers will thus be thrown idle.—Scotch Paper. UNFORTUNATE YOUTHS.—At the Rochdale petty sessions, on Monday last, Edward Lister was committed for three months, for having attempted to rescue four lads from the police. He is the fourth brother now in prison for various offences. REFRESENTATION OF THE NORTH RIDING.—The re quisition to Captain the Honourable Octavius Duncombe to become a candidate for the representation of the North Riding of Yorkshire, in place of his brother, the Hon. Wm. Duncombe, now Lord Feversham, is progressing most satis factorily ; and there have not, as yet, been any signs of op position in the Whig camp. Lord Segrave is said to have been offered a Marquisate if he would effect the return of his four brothers to the new Parliament. This he has effected ; the Berkeleys have been returned for Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the Western Divison of the County of Gloucester. The pro mised reward may, therefore, be looked for soon, especially as it will not vacant a seat in the Commons. THE CONVOCATION.—The convocation of the clergy is fixed to be holden in the cathedral church of St. Paul, Lon don, on Friday the 20th August next ; when and where the proctors of the several archdeaconries and chapters in Eng land and Wales will assemble to treat with the heads of the ecclesiastical establishment " upon various arduous and weighty affairs which concern the prosperity and welfare of the kingdom." (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Said " the Box" wherein sat Big fat Father Pat, ." Come, people—come all, to confessing ; Come, rub off sin's rust — But first lay down your dust— 'Tis the money will give you the blessing." Said the people all, then, " What are they but men, These tyrants so pompous and vain— With high-shaven crowns, And surplice and gowns, So greedy for lucre and gain ? " We have been too long All going quite wrong, Believing this wicked invention ; But never again Will we to those men Submit all our secrets to mention." Then confessors all, In vestry and ball, At once set to cursing and railing ; With candle and bell, And terrors of hell, When they saw that their joint-bank was failing. Said the temperance men, " Don't mind them, and then We 'll teach them to be quiet ; Just leave them alone — When their gains are all gone, They must labour for their diet." Said the husband, " My life I will lose, ere my wife Shall go to confession again ; For pollution and crime Are taught every time A female kneels down to those men." Out the daughter did cry, " I 'll not go—no, not I At your knee to confess, Father Mick ; For you 'd whisper, I fear, Such things in my ear, As would make the very heart turn sick." Then father and mother, And sister and brother, And Irishmen all gave expression— That not one ever more . Would kneel down before The Devil's own trap-door—CoNFEsszoN! LITERARY NOTICES Blackwood. August. Blackwood, Edinburgh This month Blackwood will highly please the studious, the learned, and the contemplative. The article which opens the number, on the Church of Scotland question, will be read with deep interest by all our northern neighbours; it has evidently been written by one who understands the matter in all its bearings and points, and who is also a well wisher to the prosperity and religions welfare of Scotland. " Traits and Tendencies of German Literature" is a clever and earch ing review upon several German works. The critic's re_ marks are very much to the point. " Results of our Affghan Conquest" is an article that it will do well for those connected with India to peruse with attention. This article contains a fair statement of the results of our policy with regard to the East. " The World's Honesty, being a Letter to Ensebius," is a clever and pleasant paper, full of pertinent reflections and satirical hits at " things in general." " The French in Alge ria" is a review on D . 'Avezac's works—Abd-el-Kader and his capital. The same author's general " Sketch of Africa," and M. Blanque, sen.'s " Report on Algeria." This is a long but highly interesting paper. " The World of London" is a most entertaining article, and will be highly relished by either the indweller in the metropolis, or the expatriated Bow bellite, be he where he may. The story entitled the " An nouncement and the . Three Rooms" is well told and smart. It is the most amusing paper in the number. It proceeds from a well used and witty pen, and abounds with sparkles of humour. We like the 'poein " The Pied a Terre:" it is a happy bit of pleasantry. " The Glance at the late Elec tions" will reward the reader for the time bestowed upon it. The most amusing and diverting story of " Ten Thousand a Year" is concluded this month, very much to the regret, no doubt, of all who have followed the fortunes of its dra matis personae from the commencement. It may rank as one of the most capital and interesting recitals of the day. Charles O'Malley. Part 17. Curry, Dublin This amusing publication is becoming a history of the Peninsular war. Without entering into the detail of the brilliant movements of the British army, enough is said to give the reader a most vivid idea of the horrors of war.— "Mickey Free's adventure" is well told. We find O'Malley once more wounded—recovered, and engaged in a storming party at Ciudad Rodrigo;—Maurice Quill's mode of driving Sparks out of his regiment is most humorously told. In this part we have another capital song of Mickey Free's. It is somewhat remarkable that although Charles O'Malley has taken such a hold upon the reading public, is every month eagerly sought after and perused with avidity, yet no one seems to ask who is the author ? Whoever he may be he is one of the cleverest and most pleasant writers of the day. The illustrations by Phi: are very spirited :—" A Hunting Party" is inimitably drawn ; "Mike Capturing the Trum peter" is also full of spirit. Punch ; or the London Charivari. Bryant, London Taylor and Sons, Liverpool. The three first numbers of this amusing, laugh - able, satiri cal, and wickedly-witty publication haye-heen received. It is a capital work, of a true conservatiCe feeling, and abounds with some smart hits at the y )(resent government. Every page teems with fun and merriment, both literary and gra phic. We can recognise.productions from many well-known pens. So much laughter for three-pence (the price of eoch. number) we neve/ yet met with. The illustrations are capitally done. History of Scotland. By PATRICE FRAZIR TYLILB,ESq. Edinburgh : William Tait. The second volume of this excellent work is now before the public, and the events which it records, from the year 1329 to 1373, subsequent to the death of the gallant Bruce, increase in stirring interest with the advance of civilisation and refinement in North Britain. The author is evidently im bued with the spirit of his subject, and displays great energy of research, a peculiar aptitude in the appropriation of pro minent facts, and a felicity and nerve of language that enti tle him to the enduring fame of the historian—a higher meed than we can award to the mass of modern authors, who, in this age of book-making, are, for the most part, mere pirati cal compilers. The reign of David II (only son of " the Bruce") is replete with important and deeply-interesting incidents, the details of which occupy about half of the volume. As a specimen of our author's admirable style, we submit the following faithful portraiture of the character of that monarch, whose conduct through life was so unworthily and darkly contrasted with that of his heroic father : It is painful to dwell on the character of this prince ; who was, in every respect, unworthy of his illustrious father. It happened, indeed, unfortunately for him, that he was pro moted to the throne when almost an infant ; and not only lost the advantage of paternal instruction and example, but, by the early death of Douglas and Randolph, was deprived of the only persons who might have supplied that want ; whilst his long exile in France, and a captivity of eleven years, ren dered him al mos t a stranger to his people. Had there, how ever, been anything great or excellent in David Bruce, he would have surmounted these disadvantages : yet we look in vain for a noble, or even commendable quality ; whilst the darker parts of his disposition are prominently marked. He was uniformly actu a t e d b y a regard to his ow n n selfish plea sures, and a reckless forgetfulness of all those sacred and im portant duties which a king owes to his people. His under standing was one of limited and moderate power • and, while he formed his opinions upon ha s ty an d superficia l views, he was both obstinate in adhering t o th em when evidently erro re neous, and capricious in abandonin g th em before the y proved to be ill-founded. The battle o f Durham, his caep tivity, and the long train of calamities which werechitentthaeilferduiutpsoonf the nation till the conclusion of his reign, his obstinacy : the inconsistent wavering and contradictory line of policy, which is so strikingly discernible in his mode of government after his return, was the effect of his p ass i on and caprice. Personal courage he undoubtedly possessed. It was the solitary quality which he inherited from hi s f ather ; and of this he gave a memo rable proof, in his prop osa l to alter the order of succession in favour of an Eng lish prince-- a measure of singular baseness and audacity. It is this that forms the darkest blot upon his memory. His love of pleasure, and devotion to beauty, will find an ex cuse in many hearts ; his extravagance some may call kingly, even when supported by borrowed money : but it ca n never be palliated or forgotten, that he was ready to sacrifice the independence of the kingdom to the love of his personal ost liberty, and his animosity against the Steward ; th at the m solemn oaths, by which he was bound to Isis people, w ere but little regarded when brought in competition with t h ese selfish and sordid passions. Such a monarch as this, who, at the mature ago of forty-seven, evinced no real symptoms A number of young gentlemen were there at the ap pointed time, and all anxiously made their way to the un known gentleman for the purpose of viewing his features ; but he did all in his power to prevent his face from being seen. At length a view of it was obtained, which caused no small degree of merriment amongst those who were in the secret, especially when they discovered that he had lost one eye, and could with difficulty see with the other, hav ing also several other defects not at all calculated to give one the idea of a man of genteel appearance. After allowing him to wait twenty minutes past the appointed time, he was accosted by the party, and told that the lady, owing to the wetness of the evening, was un able to meet him, and that they were deputed to meet him in her stead. He immediately perceived the hoax, and his fury was beyond all description. He left the ceme tery with all speed, his hoaxers keeping at his heels, jeering and laughing at his mortification. This was kept up until they arrived at the top of Sheffield moor, when they lost sight of him. The party then separated, but two of them afterwards saw him making the best of his way along Union street for the town, and again beset him with jokes, throwing in his teeth the loving words contained in his letters to the lady. This caused him to take to his heels with all speed, and away he went through any by-roads be could find, until at length he reached the Market-place. There he was again doomed to increased misfortune, for, in addition to the two who had followed him from Union street, he had again to encounter the whole party who had so kindly met him at the cemetery. Onward he sped, as fast as his legs could carry him, until he got opposite the Tontine, where a coach was standing, into which he wished to get, but, unfortunately for him, and to the amusement of his followers, who were now very numerous, a lady had just engaged the coach, and he was compelled again to take to his heels. In about three minutes he reached the railway station, where he took re fuge, to his great satisfaction, and to the delight of his pur suers, who reached that place as soon as he. There was the "luckless wight," heated, breathless, bespattered, and in a perfect rage. His appearance may be better imagined than described. The train was gone, and nothing remained for him but to get back into the town as well as he could. This he:was allowed to do quietly, his tormentors having left him to take his chance. In the morning, however, by 7 o'clock, he was again met in the Wicker by one of his attendants of the previous evening, whose appearance threw him into indescribable consternation, so that he seemed doubtful whether to run back or veniure forward. He did go on, however, and was followed to the railway station, whence he took his depar ture by the half-past 7 o'clock train, in a third class carriage, for West Bromwich, about 5 miles south of Birmingham, the place whence he had been trailed in search of a wife. He spoke, in his advertisement, of having had a small disappointment before, but the result of this adventure will probably deter him from another attempt to repair his dis asters by advertising his charms to ensnare the ladies. ANOTHER INSTANCE OF PRIESTLY INTOLERANCE.-011 Sunday last, a party of five soldiers, went to the Roman Ca ,tholic place of worship in Bradford, as usual, and proceeded to the seat appropriated to them, but were immediately ac costed by one of the collectors in the chapel, who demanded the sum of 3d. each, which they were to pay or go out of the chapel immediately ' • and on being asked by whose or ders he acted, he said by the priest's, although it is well known that military men are never asked to pay in any place of worship ; consequently, they not havint , any money in their pockets, were turned out of the chapel.° CAPTURE OF RANDELL THE PRISON-BREAKER.---PLY MOUTH, JULY 27.—Randell, the convict, who knocked down and robbed the gaoler en Sunday, and then escaped, has been retaken by Wilson, the police inspector, at Lis keard. From the desperate character and situation of the convict, fears were entertained of his making violent resist ance. Randell endeavoured to conceal himself in a low pub lic-house at Liskeard, by covering his person with two feather beds, but he left his feet exposed. - On perceiving them, Wilson very adroitly threw himself across the bed and handcuffed Randell, who then quietly surrendered, and is now safely lodged in his old quarters. A Yankee gentleman railing it, inquired what was the speed, and on being answered forty miles an hour, replied. that if they did not put on more steam he'd " go a-head," and walk it. Telegraphic despatches announced that the mail reached Marseilles yesterday morning. Dates from Bombay June 19, Alexandria July 19, and Malta July 24. 'The Oriental brought the despatches to Malta. No news from China. Sir G. Bremer had quitted Calcutta for China with reinforce ments. FRIGHTFUL. ACCIDENT. — On Tuesday evening, between 8 and 9 o'clock, the inhabitants of Birchen-lane, Cornhill, were much shocked at the following dreadful accident :—A girl 10 years old, named Eliza lloldworth, niece to the porter who resides on the premises, went up to bed at her usual time, but instead of doing so, got looking out of a window at the fourth floor, when she overbalanced herself, and fell out on the pavement, presenting a shocking spectacle, the blood flowing on all sides from her skull, which was completely split asunder. The poor child died in a few moments.

The sun was slowly setting in the far far west, And the hum of village children had that moment sunk to rest ; When a group of mournful villagers wound around the mill, And with the village favourite came slowly down the hill. 'Twas nature's fairest flower that slumbered by their side, 'Twas one both young and innocent, in innocence she died ; And many a murmuring sob was heard, and many a broken sigh, And sorrow filled the stoutest heart, and tears bedewed each in a lovely little valley the village church was seen, In the midst of shady willow trees, and meadows bright and green ; And the ivy twined around its walls, and the wild rose tree grew there, A sweet and pleasant resting place for one so young and fair. On the evening's wind there floated those sounds they knew so well, 'rhe soft and sacred music of the faintly tolling bell ; But such music was not welcome now as on the sabbath duy, Fer it told them that her soul had fled its tenement of clay. A robe of snowy whiteness next fluttered in the air, And the white-haired village pastor came to read the fun'ral prayer; And a deep and solemn silence reigned through all the coun try round, As the coffin slowly disappeared beneath the yawning ground. And each peasant's face was overcast with sorrow deep and true, And the earth was watered with their tears as with the morning dew ; And the father clasped his trembling hands, and gazed with sorrow wild Upon the spot where rested now his young and only child. There lies the little peasant girl, and high above her grave Wild roses bloom, and hawthorn trees and honeysuckle wave ; And her soul has fled to glory, to the mansions of the blest, " Where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest." C. B. G of amendment, vats little likely to improve in his latter years‘ and it is humiliating to think, that the early death of the only son of Robert the Bruce must have been regarded as blesS ing, rather than a calamity, by his country. The remainder of the volume contains " A Historical In quiry into the Ancient State of Scotland," embracing prin cipally the period from the accession of Alexander 111 to the death of . David 11. This portion of the work embraces a variety of interesting matter under the respective heads of— " Appearance of the Country,—Distinct Races,—Ancient Parliaments,—Early Commerce and Navigation,— State -of the Early Scottish Church,—Architecture, &c.,—Ancient Sports and Amusements," including chivalry, armour, forti fications, &c. In fine, there are few works that will be perused with greater pleasure or advantage, whether by the historical student, or the general reader, who desires to possess himself of comprehensive information relative to that interesting portion of our island north of the Tweed. AN UNLUCKY WIFE-HUNTER (From the Sheffield Independent.) A few weeks ago an advertisement for a wife appeared in the Birmingham Herald, headed " Matrimonial Proposal," and setting forth that the advertiser was a gentleman who wished to marry a lady of from 21 to 30 ; that she must have a genteel appearance, liberal education, and respectable con nexions, and be possessed of property to the value of £5OO at least; that the advertiser was in his 29th year, of gentle manly appearance and address, of respectable connexions, possessed of £3OOO in a respectable and well-established business ; and that he had a house furnished with every worldly comfort. THE PUFF BY IMPLICATION. Mr. O'Connell has gone to Waterford in order to preside at a dinner to be given to the defeated candidates for that city this evening ; but, dreading lest a day should pass with outhis name cutting a flourish in print, he has " got up" the following interesting narrative, in which he (Mr. O'Connell) the Emperor of all the Russias, and an anonymous " lady of rank," play the principal parts, the minor ones being filled up by Mr. O'Neil Daunt and the editor of the Pilot. It appears from the plot that the " lady of rank" (anonymous) wrote to Mr. O'Connell for an autograph to form part of the collection to the handwritings of several celebrated persons, and intended for the autocrat Nicholas of Russia. Daniel, being a great hater of all tyrants and dictators, refused to ac quiesce, and through his secretary dictated the following reply to the " lady of rank" (a?onymous, and residence un known) : _ _ • " Merrion-square, Dublin, June 16, 1811. " Madam,—l am directed by Mr. O'Connell to acknow ledge the honour of your ladyship's letter of the 12th inst., and to express his deep regret that he is unable to comply with the request of so distinguished a lady. " The fact, (to use his own words,) is, that the hideous cruelties of the present Emperor of Russia, perpetrated in Poland even upon women and children, have /Darken his cha racter with a deeper shade of infamy than that which stains the reputution of the Roman Nero, whilst his satanic perse cution of catholic Christianity has reduced him beneath the level of the ancient Dioclesian. " Mr. O'Connell, therefore, cannot consent, by any act of his, however slight, to appear to pay a compliment to so atro cious a monster. " He respectfully trusts that you will not consider this refusal as a personal disrespect to your ladyship, which it certainly is not intended to be. It is merely meant as the expression of his execration of a tyrant who has deserved the hatred and contempt of the presont generation, and whose name will be held in horror by more impartial posterity. " I have the honour to be, madam, your ladyship's most obedient servant, W. J. O'N. D." _ " How this refusal," says the Pilot, " prostrates anem peror, and places a subject immeasurably above him ?" Very much so, indeed, if true. COLERIDGE ON THE CORN-LAWS The following extracts, showing the opinion on the corn laws of a man who thought, are worth volumes of declama tion from the shallow brains who now write on the subject : "Those who argue that England may safely depend upon a supply of foreign corn, if it grow no more or an insufficient quantity of its own, forget that they are subjugating the ne cessaries of life itself to the mere luxuries and comforts of society. Is it not certain that the price of corn abroad will be raised upon us as soon as it it is made k nown t h at we must buy ? And when that fact is known, in what sort of a situa tion shall we be ? Besides this, the argument supposes that agriculture is not a positive good to the nation, taken in and by itself, as a mode of existence for the people, which suppo sition is false and pernicious ; and if we are to become a great horde of manufacturers, shall we not, even more than at present, excite the of all the manufacturers of other nations ? It has been already shown, in evidence which is before all the world, that some of our manufacturers have acted upon the accursed principle of deliberately injuring foreign manufacturers, if they can, even to the ultimate dis grace of the country, and loss to themselves.—Coleridge's Table Talk, p. 297. " It may be admitted that the great principles of commerce require the interchange of commodities to be free ; but com merce, which is barter, has no proper range beyond luxuries or conveniences ; it is properly the complement to the full existence and development of a state. But how can it be shown that the principles applicable to an interchange of con veniences or luxuries apply also to an interchange of 'teen caries ? No state can be such properl y, whi c h i s no t self subsistent at least ; for no state that is not so is essentially independent. The nation that cannot even exist without the commodity of another nation, is in effect the slave of that other nation. In common times, indeed, pecuniary interest will prevail, and prevent a ruinous exercise of that power which the nation supplying the necessary must have over the nation which has only the convenience or luxury to return ; but such interest, both in individuals and nations, will yield to many stronger passions. Is Holland any authority to the contrary ? If so, Tyre and Sidon and Carthage were so ! Would you put England on a footing with a country which can be overthrown in a campaign, and starved in a year ?" p. 303. LADIES' FASHIONS FOR AUGUST (From the Magazine of Fashion.) Materials of silk or worsted are now so varied and beau tiful, and also so moderate in price, that in Paris they are more fashionable than the coloured muslins, or cotton manu- factures, bareges, foulards, persanes, chine, &c., and a new article imitating lace, lined with colours, with robes of tarlatane in pink or blue, embroidered in white tambour, are all fashionable at this moment, in consequence of the late cold weather. Peignoirs of muslin lined with silk have been slightly wadded, the wadding being placed between two breadths of silks. Deep tucks are much in favour for orgendys, tarlatanes, and uauslins ; but for gaze de lane, cashmere, barege, and silk materials, two and three flounces are preferred. Gimp trimmings continue to be used for walking dresses and morning negliges. The newest corsage is high, and full all over, with sleeves fulled their entire length by means of runners ; the corsages a la Grecque and en Gerbe are also worn. Cannezous and fichus are made of plain newen bouillons, with inlets ; high cannezous with long sleeves are made in this style, the cannezous Camargo with long cords, em broidered, and the demi decollette with small sleeves ; and the waist encircled by small basques trimmed with lace have a pretty effect on the coloured skirts. Chernisettes of muslin are plisse en guimpe, and finished with a niche. Scarfs con tinue in universal favour in Paris ; on account of the coldness of the last month, muslin scarfs were lined with pink or blue cachemere, and trimmed with fringe to correspond. The cap a la_ Pompadour, with the lace drawn together on the centre of the forehead, plain at the sides, forming wings on the throat, with a bunch of pink daisies, green currants, &c., on the left side, and rosette of pink gauze ribbon on the other ; lace lappets intermixed with flowers ; the small pay sanne cap, and the pointe or half handkerchief a la fauchon of pointe lace, placed very backward on the head, the ends intermixed with flowers, form the newest style of cap at this moment. The youngest ladies now, even in the summer, adopt coif fures, a sort of medium between the coiffure of hair and the cal), composed of lace, gauze, and ribbons. Bonnets do not undergo much change at this season. Capotes of poult de sole are ornamented with ruches, and sometimes covered by a voilette of lace. The straight form is much in favour either for poult de sole, bouillonne, embroidered organdys, &c. Straw bonnets are used for morning wear, trimmed with narrow bands of velvet laid on flat, sometimes confining small lace veils ; the velvet ribbon is arranged in a line of coques at the back of the bonnet. Pale blue gloves are all in the fashion at Paris ; both long ones and mittens are made in this shade, closing with a small double button called gita nos, united by a chain which admits of their hanging a little beyond the button hole. A return of the Post-office revenue has recently been pub lished, which exhibits the sums remitted to London from each of the local Post-offices in 1840, the first year of the penny postage. Amongst the principal are the following : Birmingham £25,520 I Manchester .. £61,194 Bristol.. Hull 14,622 1 Sheffield Leeds Liverpool 76,627 The remittances from Edinburgh evidently embrace all Scotland, as the table does not contain any other Scotch town. INCREASE IN RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—AII the railways have shown a considerable augmentation of traffic since their opening, but the following statement, perhaps, affords as re markable an instance of increasing business as any that can be produced : YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. Traffic for the week ending July 21, 1839 Ditto July 19, 1840 Ditto July 19, 1841 Though the railway was not opened throughout at the first mentioned period it was at the second, when there was a di rect communication with London, Hull, Sheffield, Birming ham, &c. ; but notwithstanding the line was complete in July, 1840, the traffic for the week in July, 1841, shows an increase of upwards of 100 per cent. MORE DISSENTERS.—A new sect, professing to be "An Association of Christians, to promote the revival and spread of Primitive Christianity," has r e cen tl y sprung up at Brad ford. Its originators or founders are a Mr. Barker and a Mr. Trotter, who have recently been expelled from the mi nistry of the new connexion of methodists, by the annual assembly or conference of the members of that body, for some trifling difference of opinion on doctrinal points be tween them and the conference. The disciples of the new sect, in agreement with the principles of their leaders, pro fess to have no creed or code of laws but the New Testament. They have engaged the Temperance Hall at Bradford, as a temporary place of meeting and worship. Such is dissent. ' FALMOUTH, JULY 29.—Her Majesty's packet the Ranger, Lieutenant Turner, commander, arrived this morning from Mexicn, having quitt e d V era ruz 12th of June, Tampico 17th, and Havannah the 29th following. Freight 190,000 dollars. The only intelligence of moment which we have been enabled to gather by this opportunity is, that a few hours before the packet sailed from Vera Cruz, information had reached that the city of Orizaba had pronounced for the federation, and also for the abolition of the tobacco mono poly. Business continued very bad, and the Mexicans were anxiously awaiting the result of 'a commission which had been recently named at the capital, to communicate with the minister regarding the removal of the increased " consume" duty. PROGRESS OF CHURCH PRINCIPLES.—EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LONDON.—The good cause proceeds most satisfactorily here. New churches rise in all directions. - has with him two pious and accomplished young men, who have left the Wesleyan Theological Institution, and are preparing to receive orders in the church. The Bishop of Toronto has just ordained two of the most able and eloquent ministers of the same denomination in Canada, and one an independent. The independent minister at Hereford is seeking ordination, and has thrown up his meeting house. A few months ago, the classical tutor of Homerton, Dr. Pye Smith's own selected coadjutor, was introduced by - to the Bishop of London, and has just been ordained under very happy auspices. Only let the church pursue its course with meekness and more will follow. GREENLAND WHALE FISHERY.—RETURN OF ALL THE BRITISH SHIPS.—The whole of the British ships have now arrived at Peterhead from the Greenland whale fishery. Five of them came into Peterhead harbour on the afternoon and evening of Saturday last, and one of them on Sunday, all having left the fishery about the 15th ult.

All the masters concur in stating, that an abundance of whales, mostly all young ones, was seen during the season, and that the weather continued most favourable ; but they were prevented from making a more successful fishing in consequence of the condition and situation of the ice. Whales Tuns Oil A YOUTHFUL JACK SHEPHERD.—Yesterday morning a lad, named Thomas Pearce, 13 years of age, made good his escape from one of the cells of the Fleet-street police station, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that great complaints had lately been made by some of the shopkeepers and neighbours of Bride-lane, Fleet-street, in consequence of the annoyance they had experienced from the above de linquent, who, among others of the tricks which lie had ex ercised upon them, watched his opportunity, and when" the course was clear" would suddenly rush into a shop and cap size everything that was upon the counter, and in some in stances strew upon the floor butter, red-herrings, bricks, bread, cheese, &c., to the manifest discomfiture of the owner thereof ; and he had hitherto succeeded in effecting his es cape. Yesterday, however, police constable Buckingham, No. 315, who bad been on the watch for him, was fortunate enough to capture him, just as he had been amusing himself by breaking some of the windows of the National School in the above lane, and conveyed him to the station-house, where lie was placed in the inner cell (which was supposed to be the most secure,) preparatory to his being taken before a magistrate. The station clerk, however, according to cus tom, visited the cell about an hour afterwards for the purpose of seeing that " all was right," when, to his astonishment and dismay, he discovered that the " bird had flown, " and on ex amination of the cell it was ascer t a i ne d th a t h e had managed to sqeeze his body through the bars which were over the cell door, and then, quietly dropping himself from them into the passage, gained the court in which the station-house is situ ate, and so passed unobserved into the street. It appears that a chimneysweeper a short time since managed to creep out of the same cell in a similar manner. He, however, was not quite so fortunate, as he was caught just as he was about to pass the threshold of the door of the station-house.— London Paper, DIABOLICALATTEMPT TO SET FIRE TO THIRSK CHURCH. —On Wednesday morning week, the clerk proceeded to the church, to ring the six-o'clock bell ; after unlocking the door, he found he could not gain admittance, it being .bolted in side ; and, as he was last in the church the previous evening, and locked the door himself, he immediately suspected that some person had, during the night, broken into and robbed it ; he then proceeded to examine the windows, but all was secure. On passing the back door, he thought he wou ld try that, and it gave way on his pushing against it. He then proceeded round the church, and found every thing safe, but a strong smell of burned wood prevailed all about ; he looked into the stoves, and in various places, but could find nothing to satisfy him. After ringing the bell, he returned home ; but, previous to the commencement of morning prayers, he returned again, determined to make a more rigid search ; and, examining un li d e e d r is t c h o e ve s r t e a d irs th l a e t ad t i w n o g s t e o pa t r h a e te se fi a r t es o h f a J d . Bell , been kindled, Esq M.P.,one of them under the first stair or step, the second about two feet higher, by placing a large pan from one of the stoves upon some flags ; but, fortunately, the kindling not being sufficiently powerful to set fire to the beams under which they were placed, had only partially burned them, and then expired. The incendiary, in order to kindle the fire, had broken up the beadle's wand, and a rake, which he had got from the belfry, mats, &c., portions of which are left unconsumed ; and, in order to increase the fire, he had brought a bench from the altar table, and placed it upon the stairs. Had the diabolical plan succeeded, the fire would immediately have communicated to the organ gallery, and no doubt the whole of this fine ancient fabric would have been consumed, as there would have been no means of arresting the flames ; for there is no fire engine in the place. , I I E r : --- G A r : ei t 1 1 :e su C pe h r i i c n h t e e s n t d er_ the ICottitheiunmstasTnnt eat of police, brought up in custody two respectable-looking men, who had surrendered themselves to him the • I cou E n x t T y ß b A e ° n it ch D , lN on Ar n previous evening, under the following circumstances. Their state ment to Mr. Gr-en was to this effect :—" Throu g h our own gaiety, we are become at variance wi th our friends, and, con sequently, are thrown on our own resources, and having no characters we can obtain no situations ; and being r e d uce d to a state of starvatio n, we, about one o'clock this morning, killed a lamb in a field near this city, and we come now vo luntarily to give ourselves up to the police, with a view to our obtaining transportation for the offence , Mr. Green stated that he went to the field pointed out by the prisoners, and there found a lamb, th e property of Mr. White, killed. The names the prisoners gave were Henry Parker and Richard Johnson : their statement, they said, was perfectly correct, with the exception of their names, which were fictitious. The magistrates, after consulting together, determined on remanding them till the following Saturday ; upon which Parker earnestly and respectfully implored the bench to commit them at once for the offence, " for," said he, " if we are set at liberty, we shall be compelled to commit some other offence to insure our being sent out of the country," On Saturday last, the prisoners were again brought up, when the evidence was gone fully into, and they were committed to Lewes to take their trial at the neat assizes. BODY OF A SUSPECTED MURDERER FOUND.—OD Sab bath morning last, the body of a man was washed ashore at Rockport, supposed to be that of the person who lately leaped overboard from the Aurora steamer, in Belfast Lough, while on her passage from Glasgow. The flesh of the face, and of the entire skull, as well as both hands, had been strip ped off by the monsters of the deep, so that identification by the features of the countenance was impossible. The de ceased was dressed in a white fustian jacket, with mother o'-pearl buttons, white fustian trousers, and black cravat. His shoes were old and patched. In his pockets were several jets for gas-burners, small pliers, and other articles used in gas-fitting, together with a copy of a song, apparently cut out of a newspaper. From the sinewy appearance of the limbs, it is thought the suicide cannot have been more than thirty years of age; and it is farther conjectured that his name was Hume, and that he was driven to the commission of the act of self-destruction by the fear of apprehension on a charge of being concerned in the murder of a hatter at Glas gow.—Belfavt Whig. SHAMELESS OUTRAGE IN A CHURCH.--Three young men, all respectably connected, went, on Sunday, the 11th instant, to Blackpool, and after spending some time there proceeded to Poulton, and whilst the evening church service was being performed, had the daring effrontery to enter the sacred building with their hats on, (which they did not afterwards remove) and take possession of a pew, when, shocking to relate, they in the most deliberately audacious manner each began and continued to smoke a cigar. The Rev. Mr. Townley, curate, was proceeding with his sermon at the time, but was so overpowered by the gross outrage committed, as to compel him abruptly to conclyde the dis course and leave the church, and his example vias imitated by the congregation. Surely some course will be adopted to convince these offenders that such conduct must not pass with impunity. • CHURCH EXTENSION.—We are glad to learn that a church, to contain one thousand sittings, half of which are to be free, will shortly be erected within the township of Hulme. The land purchased for the site is adjacent to the new road, and immediately opposite to the Union Poor-house. We know of no district in which additional church accommodation is more required. The cost of erecting the church, and an endowment of £l,OOO, will be supplied from a fund placed at the disposal of the dean and canons for that purpose, by the pious munificence of one individual. We are also rejoiced to find, that sites are fixed upon for two other churches; one in Granby-row, opposite the National School, and the other at Red Bank : one (if not both) of these churches will be commenced, we believe, during the ensuing autumn. The Manchester and Eccles Church Building Society is to under take their erection, and will also supply the endowment.— Manchester Courier. CURIOUS ELOPEMENT TO CANTERBURY.—Some interest has been excited in this city during the last few days, by the report of a young lady, about 18 years of age, and very re spectably connected, having eloped from her father' s resi dence in . London, and taken refuge in a lodging-house in this city. It appears that she had left home last week very un expectedly, throwing her family into the utmost distress by her abrupt and unaccountable departure, and the more so because no clue could be discovered as to the direction she had taken. She came from town by a Margate steamer, and having taken up her abode here, her superior accomplish ments and elegant dress excited the attention of her landlady, who discovered whence she had come, and immediately con veyed the intelligence of her retreat to her distressed rela tives, who came hither on Monday last in quest of her. But the young lady, having found that her retreat was no longer concealed, was in the act of making her way out of the town, when she was espied by her relatives (het father and brothers), and she ran away towards Sturry. A nimble runner gave chase, but he could not come up to her before she arrived in that village, where she was obliged to give in from exhaus tion. The speed with which she travelled over the ground is almost incredible. The man who pursued her is considered an excellent runner ; but it appears probable that had it not been for his superior strength to undergo the chase, he could scarcely have hoped to gain his object. The result of her capture was, that she was restored to her relatives, but she persisted in refusing to return home with them, and they were compelled to leave her in charge of some persons in this city, though not without experiencing the most poignant grief. No cause can be assigned for her leaving home, ex cepting that she is subject to mental aberration. It is for tunate that her friends so soon gained tidings of her conceal ment, or she might have fallen into the haunts of infamy, especially as she was totally destitute of pecuniary resources, and an entire stranger to this part. It does not appear that she has formed any acquaintance since she left home, be yond that of the people in whose house she had sought an asylum.—Kentish Observer. LORD FORTESCUE AND THE REPEALERS.—The Rev. Mr. Reade, the curate of Clonsillagh, having voted for the repeal candidate for the city of Dublin, has , met his reward at the hands of Earl Fortescue, who has been graciously pleased to promote the rev. gentleman to the rectory of Clontarf. What has become of Lord Ebrington's celebrated manifesto against repealers and the supporters of repeal ? Or does his Excel lency conceive that Earl Fortescue is not bound to " tread in the footsteps" of Viscount Ebrington ? ADMIRAL STOPFORD.—The dinner to Sir Robert Stopford, at Portsmouth, will take place at five o'clock on Thursday next, at the Society's-hall, when it is expected many noble men and gentlemen will be present. Among whom there will be the Marquis of Anglesey, Earls Hardwicke and Sandwich, Viscount Sydney, the members of the county and borough, the heads of various naval, military, and civil departments, Commodore Sir C. Napier, the captains of all the ships who commanded at Acre, &c. Nearly the whole of the tickets are disposed of, and the arrangements will be on a magnificent scale. THE LATEST GOVERNMENT JOB. —Alderman J. S. Fleming has resigned his appointment as Chief Magistrate of Police, Dublin, to which he has been only a few months promoted, receiving the full retiring pension, in order to create a berth for a partisan of the outgoi ng Government ; and, accordingly, Mr. Newel Barron, a relative of the re jected of Waterford city, is pitchforked into the vacancy thus effected in the magisterial bench. Alderman Fleming was a most efficient and active magistrate, and in every way com petent to the discharge of his official duties. Mr. Hitchcock has also been induced to send in his resignation, on the pro mise of receiving the full pension; and thus a second vacancy on the bench is left at the disposal of Government, for the acceptance of some hungry retainer grown sick with " hope deferred." THE REPEA L A SSOCI ATIO yOTonnell, calculating „ on the probability of Sir. ert - eel taking active measures towards suppressing that intolerable nuisance the repeal asso ciation, thus delivers himself, through the fostering agency of Mr. Richard Barrett, editor of the Pilot newspaper : " The suppression of the only vent for wants and grievances would be met by expedients which the law could not reach. The law could not reach those who did not choose to consume English manufactures. The law could not prevent an instant run on the savings' bank. The law could not reach them for demanding gold. The law could not reach their dislike for entering the army or navy, or their determination not to shed their blood for a nation which refused right and crushed dis cussion. There would be no occasion to invite foreign aid in such a state of things. The act which would extinguish the repeal association would, in itself, be a proclamation to all the hostile nations of the earth." The poor old gentleman is really demented.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JULY 30 4l t ugar.—The Trade having supplied themselves freely during the 'fast fortnight, there has been rather less demand this week, and sales of B. 4 . are only 300 hhds. at steady prices. 3600 bags Mauritius have been sold at 60s 6d to 665, and 3000 bags Bengal at the quotations. Foreign.—About 3000 bags of low dark Manilla were sold by auction at 13s 9d to I4s 3d, and a few small lots of Brazil by private at the quotations. There has been a good inquiry for Molasses, and about 700 puns, have been sold, consisting of old Berbice and Demerara at 22s to 23s Gd, and new Demerara at 245, Trinidad at 25s 6d, old Antigua at 275, and new Barbadoes at 2gs per cwt.

In prices we make no change from our quotations of yesterday. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 2. In ordinary times the recent intelligence from America, (gene raliy considered so unsatisfactory,) would have caused an excite ment in the Cotton market, but at present trade is completely frus trated by a dead weight, and no buoyancy remains as a rallying point. The unseasonable weather has had a withering influence in °upmarket for the last ten days. We experienced but a mode rate demand this morning, and the trade have purchased about 3000 bales at rather easier prices than last week, and the holders do not press their stocks, yet the market is well supplied, and the buyer has a fair choice. COTTON MARKET WEEKLY REPORT.

Prime Beef met ready sale at 6id per middling 6d, good Wethers 6&d to 7jd, Ewes 6d, Lambs 6.id to 7d per lb. sulking the offal, and nearly all sold up, with the exception of a few pens of poor Lambs. Number of Beasts, 995 Sheep and Lambs, 10,687. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 31. During the last seven days we have had a very moderate supply of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal. From Canada there are reported 2,813 qrs of Wheat and 11,872 barrels of Flour, which. however, are, for the most part, entered under bond for the low duty on colonial produce. The imports from foreign states com prised in $,990 qrs lof Wheat and 670 qrs of Oats. are also placed under the Queen's locks. The general character of the weather, since our last report, has been unfavourable for the country, and, under the excitement thereby produced, further large transactions have occumdin bonded Wheat and Flour, at almost daily advancing prices ; 8s to 8s 6d per 701bs have been paid for the better qualities of Baltic red Wheat; 28s to 28s 6d per brl for U. S. sweet Flour. Free Wheat and Flour, of which the stocks are now small, have also brought 2d to 3d per bus and 6d per brl respectively above our last quotations. Oats too,-upon small supplies, must be quoted l d per 451bs and Oatmeal 6d per load dearer. Barley, Beans, and Peas, with a moderate demand, have brought full prices. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JULY 18 , The arrival reported this week is small, and the stock of Wheat now in granary here is estimated at about 7000 qrs. and in Leeds 3000 qrs. although the weather of late has been more favourable, yet it has had no reducing effect in prices. In Wheat a fair business has been done, at fully last week's rates. Oats and Beans were held at id per stone, and is per qr. advance, with a better demand. Nothing done in Barley.
