The next morning, 27th August, was rainy, and tee .... were all covered with clouds ; we breakfasted at four, on broiled capereailzie, and brandy and water, but were weather bound at as Rorvigon till three o'clock , p .m. when we embarked in two small and crazy boats on Lak e Limingen. There w far more motion than I liked , the nature of our vessels being duly considered. , however, afely l an ded on some rocks, after a row of We ten were English miless, and then set off to walk four more, partly through woods. In our route wde passed hy a sootier hut, where, as I have before remarke the peasants who pasture their coves in nehbourhood keep their milk, cream, and cheeses. We nest crossed shone barren mountains • and. at about half-past seven our gm. e (the Lapp) desired us not to tire at a pack of ptarmigairli, which got close up to us, for fear, he said, of disturbing e reindeer, as he every m oment expected to find his countryci men. Soon after, as we were all walking in keeping perfect silence, be stopped suddenly. and, pointing a single file, :t.n with his finger, directed our attention to some sn',7 e ,. J T,_ seen issuing through the twilight, curling up th e slu • cu .‘"' opposite hill. The man's manner and attitude were quite d reg magic, an d we had the satisfaction of feeling that ouroobject matic, and we had the satisfaction of feeling that is dog and was about to be attained. The Lapp now ran off, evidently much rejoiced at the idea of rebjoirii_negwhais tied up d . g ..3 wife and family, after an absence of several mont s. H also anxious to inform his countrymen who we were, and what brought us here, as he had some fear lest they would take alarm, and move off with their herd. He soon, hobw ever, returned, and at the same time we saw a large number ever, of reindeer driven up the valley to their quarters for h a dog, whose oc: night, by a man and a boy, accompanied by casional bark seemed to keep them under perfect control Upon our arrival we found the encanipment consisted of two circular tents built of poles joined together in the centreo, or form of a cone, with cloths stretched over them. The d . w e of the larger one, in which we took up our a bode, was 50. 1 .2 e and small, that we bad some difficulty in crawling in. 1 . 101 whole scene was highly picturesque. Each tent was occupied. bY a Lapp family ; every individual gave us te n t w kind re-_ ception, and heartily shaking us by the hand, at Once offae.reon us a share of their tent, the only uight's lodging they d b d t soon five. We thankfully accepted their laospitalitY, an round ourselves lying on skins before a large and cheerful fire. The inhabitants of the hut comp and three generations of Lapps; namely, a middle-aged man and his children, and an old grandmother ; to these were n ow add d wife, with _foeur our party, consisting of four Englishmen, prefers, and two other attendants. The tent was ma d with coarse dark cloth, and the outside of it was their two isteori covere dried . turf ; around the inside were hung gut of reindeer, guns, and various other useful a.rticles. t cheeses, bladders, chief part of the smoke escaped through a large opening, a andthe top, but enough remained painfully to affect our eyes, to give the copper countenances of the Lapps a shade. as dark as those or Indians. The second family, who occupied the smaller tent, namely, our Lapp guide —Peter Johansen: his wife, and two children—soon came to pay anda v isit. I have already described his person. His wife daughter had light hair a n d fair complxions, and were pleasing in their appearance, and his little boy was an intelligent and inte.- resting . child ; a nd, although under ten years of age, took his turn with the men in watching the reindeer during He was dressed in his best clothes, entirely made of skin.s, the night. with a girdle round his waist, and such a protuberance in front as to give him the appearan ce of being stuffed, and thus greatly to excite our laughter. He wore his knife form- hi s case behind, and several small ornamen ts b y his side ; mg a complete Lilliputian Lapp in full costunie. We were soon presented with a large bowl o f reindeer m ilk. whic h is much richer than that of the cow , and has a d e licate an d aromatic flavour, with a pleasant taste, resembling the milk of the cocoanut ; but I found I could not taste couch of it with impunity, as it was more like drin king cream than milk. They also boiled for us a reindeer ha m, which had on that, up on taking oa r ly been salted two d depays before. We found it so good arture next morning. we were gl ad to our scanty store of provisions. It has a wild flavour,and to add it is quite equal to our park venison. The old grandmother was as shrivelled as a mummy, but the other woo om ar e k n were by no means ill -looking. T heir dress was d woollen cloth, with silver ornaments in front, as the girdle ronnd the waist, to which sewing implements were well as in suspended. These ornaments were in good taste, and well finished ; and• the buttons were similar to those used by the peasantry in Spain. I have no doubt this smart costume was put on in compliment to us. The dress of the men consisted of leather coats and tight t r ousers of the same material , with rein deer skin boots. All the females smoked ; and the old wom an seemed more pleased with having her pipe filled with tobacco brought from Eng land than with anything else that we g ave her. Some s boxe of lucifer matches whic h we p resented to them wer also e hi g hly prized ; they bad evidently n ever seen them before, and expressed no smal l astonishment at the manner in which ignition is effected. We re g retted we had no fish hooks, which they inquired for ; but we g ave them a glass of finks, each, which the oct o g enarian a p peared to relish more than any of her descendants,. The head of the family Pollan Neilson) was a grave sedate -looking man ; decision of cha racter and intelligence were marked on Ins tine countenance. In reply to the questions I put to him through my interpre ter, he said they were happy in the enjoyment of their wan dering pastoral life ; that they confined themselves to the mountainons ridge which separates Norway from Sweden, the boundary line between these countries being only two English miles from the spot where they were then encamp s d ; that they had been there about eight days, intended to - main a fortnight longer, and should then move onwards fo r a change of pasture for their reindeer. He told me, that in summer they conduct these animals, which constitute their wealth, to the elevated parts of the mountains, and in the winter they descend to the level country. His herd consisted of about three hundred, and it appears that a family requires nearly that number for its support. The great proportion of them were his own property, but some belonged to Peter Johansen, and ten to a middle-aged single woman who lodged with them. These Lapps, although " dwellers in tents" all the year round, are in many respects far from being uncivi lised. They strictly observe the Sabbath, the best reader of the family officiating as priest, and going regularly through L u theran ice. Occasionally they a tt e nd the church of the the nearest sery village on the frontier of Sweden.—Mitford's Viiii to Norway. —.........—..............

The government, thanks to Mr. Lefroy's question across the table, ordered in a troop of the 12th Lancers, two com panies of the .17th regiment, and about one hundred additional constabulary.

A SKETCH OF THE AMERICAN SENATE.—At the begin ng of the year, Lord Morpeth being present in the house of representatives during a commotion raised against Ex-Pres ident Quincy Adams, for h ' having said something against sla very, th a t venerable and distinguished old man was, in his owilhearing, horribly insulted, and called a black liar and a traitor. II is most eloquent denouncer was a Mr. \Vise, who interlarded his furious tirade with insults to England. " Lord Nlorpeth," says the correspondent of the New York American, " occupied the chair of one the members, and was a pparently the person to whom «Vise directed all his swaggering, bullying abuse of the British nation and govern ment. Whenever he said anything abusive, he always turn ed to the visco unt, and pointed significantly at him, appar ently delighted to insult a stranger and a lord, without the possibility of a reply." And the only reception given to all this was tumultuous applause. In the senate at the close of February..r. Tallmadge was interrupted by Mr. Benton calling him a liar. Mr. Talmudge reiterated his statements and Mr. Benton repeated the lie. The following then pas sed :—" Mr. Clay hoped the senator would be compelled to take his seat.—Mr. Benton : The senator is in his seat. — Mr. Clay : The senator has no right to speak, while he is in his seat ; and if he speaks to me, he shall receive such language in reply as his conduct deserves.—Mr. Benton : I hope that language will be followed by corresponding action." No one took the least notice of thiss gross insult to by far the ablest and most accomplished of all the American states men.—Article, Newspaper Literature of America : Foreign Quarterly Review. THE REV. R. W. SIBTIIORP IN EARLY LlFE.—There were many circumstances which contributed to his fame. He was a member of an old family ; a man of acknowledged ability ; and . of unsparing devotedness to his profession. II is voice was singularly musical ; and the powers of imagination results of learning, which he brought to bear (From the Sligo Journal of Friday.) In this county, the demonstration which was " to fright the isle from its propriety," was a most ridiculous spectacle. About 3,000 peasants, forced by their priests to attend, two old broken down coaches, one of them hired by a bankrupt trader's shopboy, O'Connell's own carriage, and a few hack jaunting cars, accompanied by the flags and banners of the Trade's Union, formed the procession. To O'Connell the whole was a good joke, and he evidently enjoyed it, if we might judge from his extemporaneous w►ttic►sms. We hove Father Teeny recompensed him this morning as substantially as he expected. If he did not get money from him, he had only Father Coghlan's £l2. 10s. to comfort him, as not a single man present at the meeting came forward to enrol himself a Repealer. [The Nation of Saturday says there were 170,000 persons present !] as well as th on his pulpit ministrations, were very captivating. But amid the impressive exhortation and affectionate earnestness w hich pervaded his addresses, there was also a tone of mys ticism. There was in all his sermons a leaven—so to speak, and the term is used I trust not irreverently—of what bor dered on the romantic and speculative in religion. To ac count for this, his admirers used to advert to the unusual tenor of his own career. In early life he was enticed from his home by a Romish priest, with whom he resided many months ; and during which period his friends lost all clue to h i m . The object was to convert him to Romanisin. And f ro m its trammels he then had a narrow escape. Another incident betel him in later life—an attachment formed for him by an accomplished lady holding the Romish faith, and w hi c h had again nearly brought him within the pale of Ro manism. Connected with this there is a curious incident. A highly finished miniature of him was placed at the exhi tion at Somerset House. It was an admirable likeness, and was readily recognised. Three weeks elapsed and it was gone ! The thief was never discovered and considerable promptitude as well as management must have been brought i n to play to carry it off unobserved—hut it was effected. Some ladies had been seen, for several successive mornings, hovering around the spot where it hung—but further clue there was none. All these various details threw an air of interest, romance, and mystery around this extraordinary man's history.—The Bishop's Daughter. THE JEWS OF Lisnos.—Gathered in small clusters about the pillars at the lower extremities of the gold and silver streets in Lisbon, may be observed, about noon in every (lay, certain strange-looking men, whose appearance is neither Portuguese nor European. Their dress generally consists of a red cap, with a blue silken tassel at the top of it, a blue tunic girded at the waist with a red sash, and wide linen pan taloons, or trousers. He who passes by these groups gene rally hears them conversing in broken Spanish or Portuguese, and occasionally in a harsh guttural language, which the Oriental traveller knows to be the Arabic, or a dialect t hereof. These people are the Jews of Lisbon. Into the midst of one of these groups, I one day introduced myself, and pronounced a beraka, or blessing. I have lived in dif ferent parts of the world, much among the Hebrew race, and am well acquainted with their ways and phraseology. I was rather anxious to become acquainted with the state of the Portuguese Jews, and I had now an opportunity. " The man is a powerful rabbi," said a voice in Arabic : " it be hoves us to treat him kindly." They welcomed me. I fa voured their mistake, and in a few days I knew all that re lated to them and their traffic in Lisbon. I found them a vile, infamous rabble, about two hundred in number. With a few exceptions, they consist of escapadoes, from the Bar bary shore, from Tetuan, from 'rangier, but principally from Mogadore ; fellows who have fled to a foreign land from the punishment due to their misdeeds. Their manner of life in Lisbon is worthy of such a good assemblage of anus /Tunis. The generality of them pretend to work in gold and silver, and keep small peddling shops : they, however, principally depend for their livelihood on an extensive traffic in stolen goods which they carry on.—Borrow's The Bible in Spain. POWER OF THE VOICE OVER CHILDREN.—It is Usual to attempt the management of children either by corporal punishment, or by rewards addressed to the senses, or by words alone. There is one other means of government, the power and importance of which are seldom regarded ; I refer to the human voice. A blow may be inflicted on a child, ac companied by words so tattered as to counteract entirely its intended effect ; or the parent may use language, in the cor rection of the child, not objectionable in itself, yet spoken in a tone which more than defeats its influence. Let any one endeavour to recall the image of a fond mother long since at rest in heaven. Her sweet smile and ever clear countenance ar e brought vividly to recollection ; and so also is her voice ; and blessed is that parent who is endowed with a pleasing utterance. What is it which lulls an infant to repose? It is no array of mere words. There is no charm to the untaught one in letters, syllables, and sentences. It is the sound which strikes its little ear that soothes and composes it to sleep. A few notes, however unskilfully arranged, if uttered in a soft tone, are found to possess a magic influence. Think we that this influence is confined to the cradle ? No, it is diffused over every age. and ceases not while the child remains under the parental roof. Is the boy growing rude in manner and boisterous in speech ? I know of no instrument so sure to control these tendencies as the gentle tones of a mother. She who speaks to her son harshly does but give to his conduct the sanction of her own example. She pours oil o n the already raging flame. In the pressure of duty, we are liable to utter ourselves hastily to our children. Perhaps a threat is expressed in a loud and irritating tone ; instead of a llaying the passions of the child it serves directly to increase t h em . Every !fretful expression awakens in him the same spirit which produced it. So does a pleasant voice call up agreeable feelings. Whatever disposition, therefore, we would encourage in a child, the same we should manifest in in the tone in which we address him.—Church of England Magazine. PLEASURES OF AN INDIAN VOYAGE.—I began by paying £l5O sterling for a cabin to myself ; and had not inhabited it two days before I found it so infested with cockroaches, tbat I was bound to evacuate it • and should have been hous eless, if Sevestre had not kindly made me bring my cot, and occupy half of his ; turning my own into a baggage ca bin. If we had been all Whittingtons, and each possessed half a dozen cats, it would not have sufficed to deliver us from the rude assaults of the innumerable host of rats that invaded us. I had occasion to remove a trunk which stood in one corner of the cabin, when, to my astonishment, I dis covered a small snake coiled up ' • and, as if not sufficiently hideous as a sna ke de f a cto , I further discovered that the creature had two heads. I called out loudly for a stick and assistance, intending to commit a bloody deed upon the in truder. The cuddy servants, who had heard my vocifera tions, came rushing on to the fray ; but no sooner did they see the nature of the foe, than they both jumped uo the boxe s, " Kill, him, sir kill him! Don't p le n t him e here ! Just at this point the third mate came up, crying out, " Don't hurt him, sir! Pray don't hurt him !" try i and immediately laid hold of what turned out to be a pet of his. Although I had never seen one before , I had frequently heard e d of " the double-headed sand-snake." This was one singular species , and assuredly, as far as human (e)stes'm rh 'ff e vehtcrayn be credited, it has a clear and perfect head at both . ends; the species, however, are entirely harmless, and one in question, it appeared , had made its escape from a tie little box, in which the mate had kept it since leaving Madras. As for pets they literally abound with us : there is petcheetah, or leopard , big enou g h to swal low a sh ee p ; thena nnum erable mongooses , whose little red noses are ever and anon thrusting out from among the booms and spars on the deck ; hundreds, I may say , of th at bea ut i ful little ele gant species of the feathered tribe, the avadavat, which I cannot better describe than by saing that it is a black wren, ec with crimson spots ; chattering paroquets are heard direction ; and, though last, certainly not least wor in e very . the list, a mina. This race of birds is, without ex the most remarkable in the world for its talkative c tl , i n y t in -p-orw-ejoir)rinse'and its ability to imitate all kinds of human sounds ; i n question, however, really surpasses all I ever and the whole live-long day talks, sings, the d in this way , heard in i n a ddition to which it gives all sorts of mock s s men , beasts, and birds.—.Thary of an Assistant cries or STEAM-SHIP PRESIDENT : CONSIDERATIONS S u rgeon. AS T I !? , I , L H A i f g rO SSI BLE CAUSE OF HER WRECK.—Mr. Ruck who made a passage in this ill-fated ship from New i n gharn, . York to Liverpool, thus endeavours, in his new work on Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, &c., to account for I ( l :: su a b e s ecillellt loss :—" On the following voyage, the un. fortunate President was l and having sailed from New York in h e r ordinary course, never since been heard of. A variety of conjectures have been hazarded, as to the manner in which her loss was occasioned ; and at this late period, when the subject may be adverted to without harrowing up the feelings of those who had friends on board, or prolonging their pa inful suspense , for all h o p e s of her re - app earin g ha v e now been l o ng ago extingushed, it may not be unacceptable to have the opinion of one who knew her qualities well. I venture , therefore, to offer it as my belief, that under the skilful commander who was then in charge, Captain Roberts, no gale which she could encounter on her passage would be sufficient to occasion her to founder. Insufficient as her engines were to propel her with the requisite degree of speed, they would always have force enough to keep her head to windward in the heaviest gale that blew ; and in this posi tion, no pilot-boat that ever swam could lie-to more easily and steadily than the President. As a seaboat, she was un rivalled ; and not the slightest manifestation was anywhere visible on our homeward voyage, in the severest period of the gale, of any weakness amid-ships, or anywhere else. An - may have intercepted her course, or a ship may have run her down, as all who have been much at sea know how frequent are the accidents resulting from a bad look-out ; and fire is a calamity to which all ships are liable, especially those that carry a hundred passengers or more, where drunken revels among some,* not sufficiently discouraged, because profit is made by the sale of the wines and spirits, great care lessness with others, lights permitted improperly to be burn ing in the bed-cabins at a late hour, and their inm a tes g oing lie r to sleep w ithout extinguishing them , with the infl ammability of all th e materials of which a ship is composed, making muc h more rapidly destructive at sea than on land, and much more difficult to extinguish. One or other of these calaniiti o e f s might have destroyed the unfortunate President ; and e ith er wou ld a ccount for the total destruction of everyvesti g e her hull, as well as of her spars, boats, and moveable furni ture, bat especially the last, for the devouring flames leave no vestige of anything unconsumed; and when all is burnt to the water's edge, the heavy and ponderous mass below i n ks to the bottom.

The weather proved very favourable, and from an early hour large numbers of people were to he seen proceeding along the line of road on cars, from Dublin to the place of meet ing. All the roads leading to the Currah were thronged with equestrians and pedestrians long before the hour appointed. Mr. O'Connell arrived on the ground shortly after two o'clock. The hon. gentleman immediately proceeded to the Stand-house, from the front of which he proposed addressing the assemblage. There were on the ground about 120 of the constabulary, with three sub-inspectors, There were about two dozen tents erected for the sale of refreshments, and the proprietors of the different games played at race course and fairs were busily occupied i❑ their avocations. At half past two o'clock the chair was taken by Gerald Aylmer, Esq. of Painestown, and Dr. Henry Lynch acted as secretary. The several resolutions passed at the meeting declared " the act of union to have been carried by fraud, bribery, and the unconstitutional employment of military force, wan tonly and wickedly called into requisition by the then go vernment, for the unjustifiable purpose of dispersing meet ings legally convened to petition parliament against passing the base and iniquitous measure of the union, which their forefathers foresaw would be ruinous to Ireland, and 'the cruel and unjust operations of which had already injured the best interests of their common country—that it was not their object to seek a separation from Great Britain—and that nine millions of people could not be dragged at the foot of any other nation." A vote of confidence was then passed by acclamation to Mr. O'Connell, expressing their hope that be would never cease his exertions until he restored to Ireland her domestic legislature; after which the learned gentleman rose to ad dress the meeting, in a speech which occupied nearly an hour and a half i❑ its delivery. Some subscriptions were then received, and those upon the standhouse were provided inside with dinner. Mr. O'Con nell was, of course, the principal guest, and remained until about six o'clock, when he passed to Naas, where he re mained for the night.—Dublin paper. REPEAL OF THE UNION-MR. O'CONNELL TO DANIEL O'CONNELL. ESQ., M.P Stn.,—ln consequence of your declining to come and take part in the discussion which I proposed to bring forward in the House of Commons relative to the agitation you are now carrying on, for the purpose, as you say, of effecting a repeal of the leislative union between England and Ireland, I take the liberty of writing to inform you, that, as you and your followers so completely set at nought the Catholic Emanci pation Act, by virtue of which you are entitled to sit in the British parliament, and so lightly esteem the privileges granted to you by that act, that I now feel justified in making a motion that the act be repealed; and as I am going to question the wisdom of that measure, I shall be glad if you will favour me with a line to say if you will come and do your part in defending a measure which you were so instrumental in causing to be carried. lam determined that the people of England and Ireland shall no longer labour under the delusion that the passing of that measure was, as they supposed, the settlement of a great question, but they shall know that it was exactly the reverse, that it was the unsettling of a great question, which had been in progreess of settlement from the first century of the Christian era till the revolution of 1688. You are now justifying your agitation by saying that England has done nothing for Ireland. If the three estates of the realm, forfeiting all claim to freedom by refusing to contend for that truth by contending for which they were alone en titled to the liberty they enjoyed—if you say that making such tremendous sacrifices to you and Ireland's clamour is doing nothing for Ireland, you must be a cormorant with a vengeance; it is truth that is ultimately to make men and nations free. Truth is in England not in Rome. You are by your restless proceedings bringing on a religious war be tween England and Rome, and you appear to be perfectly sensible how much money and funds are the sinews of war; but you have hitherto had the ingenuity to accumulate a great deal of sinew without coming to any actual war. Your peace able agitation is a sort of hermaphrodite war—a half and half state of things, which is h a lf peace and half war ; but if you will come and hear what I have to say, I think I can show you why you ought to do one thing or the other; you cannot hide from me that religion is the main-spring of all that you are doing. My chief object in writing to you is to say, that I must make personal allusions to you and the head of your church; and although you might say that I was per fectly at liberty to say what I :pleased about :you in your absence I had rather not do so. But surely the regenera tor of bold and chivalrous Ireland will not shrink from coming to defend his absent friend. Come, therefore, and be present in that house where your former valour entitles you to a seat. As it is my opinion, from the signs of the times in which we live, that we are on the eve of a new era in the history of England and Ireland, I shall take the liberty of making this letter public, that the Protestants of both countries may he prepared to stand by the assured truth, that Protestant ascendancy, and no surrender, is the law of CHRIST, and that England is the power which GOD has called into existence to maintain a religious principle; and she will now do her duty. Then will the earth be full of the knowledge of the Lotto as the waters cover the sea, and a Papist will be a rara avis iit lerris.—l have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, 3, St. James's-square, May 10 S. L. FOX DARING OUTRAGE. — On the night of Wednesday last, about ten o'clock, as Mr. NPCreight, of Umera, in this count•, was sitting with his family in the room usually oc cupied by them, a villainous attempt was made on their lives, the hall of an assassin being deliberately discharged through the window, immediately opposite the fire round which they sat. The shutter, which was providentially of stouter and better material than those in ordinary use, prevented the entry of the ball, though it forced the panel from the frame. We are, however, happy to state that the act is not attributed to any combined system of outrage amongst the peasantry, to whom Mr. M'Creight has given a good deal of employment; and in no instance has any occurrence taken place to warrant a suspicion of any malice being entertained against him in that locality.—Cork Constitution. THE DISTRESS IN PAISLEY.—After nearly two years of severe, nay almost of unexampled suffering, we now begin to enjoy a breathing time of comparative alleviation. The list has been reducing for the last three months, and on Saturday the 29th the whole number on the roll was 835 men, women, and children. About a fortnight since the committee took into consideration the propriety of closing their labours, and after examining into the state of those on the roll, and of the still very destitute circumstances in which numbers were placed, they unanimously agreed to continue the relief for another fortnight, and accordingly a final end to the laborious exertions of the committee took place on Saturday last. Although thus relieved from the very appa rent, the every-day appearance of distress, still severe and in many cases unmitigated suffering must be the lot of vast numbers of our townsmen. Thousands have parted with everything necessary for their comfort, that so they might preserve their life ; and it will take many years of prosperity ere they be in the state in which they once were, and many never will. Bankruptcies took placein Paisley to the amount of seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds ; therefore, even in a healthy state of trade, it would take years to recover the shock. It may be necessary here to place on record, for the use of those at a distance, the highest numbers which were on the relief list. On the 11th of February the numbers in Paisley were 14,791, and in the surrounding villages 2744, making a total of 17,535. Over and above this there might be about 2000 who were not on the roll, but who neverthe less were supported from the charitable donations at the disposal of the various churches in town.—Glasgow Post. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Saturday week, two girls, one of them four, and the other five years of age, the children of George Callender, servant to Captain Thorhurn, at Kelton, were wading in the edge of the river Nith. From having been swollen heavily with late rains, the current had washed the sandy bank into a deep hollow, where there was none before; and the younger of the children having ventured a little beyond,the edge of the water, was in a moment over head, in the place referred to. Her elder sister seeing her danger hastened to help her, and was herself also in a moment beyond her depth. A brother a year or two older was playing not far off, and hearing his little sisters crying for help, be ran in to get hold of them. He also, instead of being able to render assistance, was himself engulfed. Be screamed for help ; and the mother of the three children fortunately heard their cries, and hurrying to the river saw her;two girls borne away into the current, while, nearer the shore, her boy was struggling for his life. She plunged in, and was immediately beyond her depth. The boy laid hold of her, crying out ' (for strange fancies come into children's heads)—' . Oh ! mother, let us a' die thegither." Finding herself thus rendered powerless to lend any help to her daughters, the agelt lisle t b o o get y. her t fa h c is e t t i u m r e n a ed ge t n o e t r l a u l spit), oorreand mother go s t O o m u e t h n ( - ) i w th u h 'a e n r alarm was given ; and a carpenter of the nam e The other was e of Neilson swan) in and brought opt the neare st g irl. floating away in the middle of the stream. A boat's crew. however, belonging to a vessel lying on the shore, were putting out for her, and soon picked her up. The two little girls were laid on the sunny shore quite insensible. By dint of rubbing, however, they began to show symptoms of re turning animation. and were carried home recovering. Warn applications brought them gradually round to their natural heat.—Glasgow paper. ECOND EDITION. Standord-qffice, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCEIANGE,—TH ts DAy (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) With the exception of a few parcels of Oats and Oatmeal, from Ireland, we have scarcely any fresh supplies to notice, either thence or coastwise, since Tuesday ; and the only foreign impo r t i s 551 q rs. Wheat from V alparaiso, accounted for in some degree by the prevalence of easterly winds. No observable change has taken place in the value of any article within the past two days ; during which the trade has continued perfectly steady in all respects, and we have had a moderate business going forward, but no spirited or gene ral demand. 'Very few local or country millers appearing at our Corn Exchange to-day, the operations in Wheat were inconsider able ; but the holders remaining firm, and anticipating an improved demand to meet the decreasing stocks in the gran aries of this port, all descriptions of this grain maintaineil.the full rates of Tuesday, and, in particular cases, a small ad vance was required, but not decidedly realized.: Prime marks of English and Irish Flour were in request at an amendment of Is. per sack; and States as well as Canadian were the turn dearer. Barley, of which several parcels were taken for grinding is now held on rather higher terms ; and Malt steadily corn. manded our last quotations. Beans, having become less plentiful, and being sornewlial more saleable, supported late prices. Pease remained mr. varied Oats, upon a very limited supply fresh in, and few lef over from previous arrivals, maintained our last currency and Oatmeal, with a tolerable demand from speculative buy ers and eonsurners, remained steady in value.

The sales of the week reach exactly 19,000 bales. Of this uantity the trade have only taken 16,400, much below their weekly consumption, leaving 31,700 for speculators and 900 for export. The market closes quietly. Many parties have ceased their operations till the arrival of the Boston steamer, expected to-morrow, with much later accounts of the state of the weather for the coming crop. Prices generally g to up since the lowest point last week. THE LOSS OF THE SOLWAY, The directors of the West Indian Steam-packet Company have prihlished the following statement as the result of their inquiry into the circumstances of the loss of the Solway : After a thorough refit of the ship end her machinery, the Solway left Falmouth on the 3d of April, and encountered some stormy weather in crossing the Bay of Biscay. She arrived at Corunna at noon on the 7th of April, rece►ved 80 tons of coal, and departed again on her voyage the same evening, passing the light-house about. I() p.m. At this time it was blowing a fresh breeze at W.S.W., with a ground swell, the result of the late gale, and a haziness over the laud, Which, however, was. visible. It appears the captain never quitted the deck but once, at about 11 o'clock, when the purser, Mr. Lane, saw him with parallel rulers laying down a course upon the chart, which he finished by saying, " There, west, that will do, Lane ; that course carries us clear of everything." The captain then went on deck, and Mr. Lane heard' him order the steersman to keep the ship west. Mr. Lane states that he had previously made two voyages under Captain Duncan's command, that he was a sober, careful, vigilant officer, and from the beginning to the end there appeared no cause to suspect him of any want of ability or seamanship, but that, on the contrary, in a hurri cane in the Gulf of Mexico, in a storm off the 'Western Is lands, and on many other occasions, he saw him evince great coolness, skill, and resolution while commanding the Solway. Mr. Lane further states that he went on shore at Corunna with Captain Duncan, came off to the ship with him, dined with him, and remained walking the deck with him till 11 o'clock ; that Captain Duncan was perfectly sober; that he never resigned the charge of the ship till she struck, which was immediately after midnight, and that he alone directed the course to be steered. In about five minutes, or less, after the ship struck, Mr. Lane was on the forecastle locking round, but could distinguish no breakers. The chief officer was on deck also until 11 o'clock, and took the bearings of the lighthouse at half-past 10. He asked the captain how he intended to steer, who said W.N.W., which the ship was steering, when the chief officer went to bed, having to keep the morning watch. Before he went below, however, he visited the look-out men, and saw them alert at their post. It had been the practice in former voyages to station and exercise the men at getting the paddle-box boats out and in ; but there had not been time to accomplish this since the ship last quitted Southampton, as there had been a continued gale of wind, and the crew had been only a few days o❑ board when the ship was lost. Before the chief officer went below, the captain said he should keep pretty close to the land, to avoid the swell outside, produced by the late gales ; " but," he added, " I shall remain on deck my self in charge of the ship." The second officer had been three voyages in the Solway. He was on deck from the time the ship passed the lighthouse till she struck, but the captain alone directed the course. The second officer visited the two look-out men forward not seven minntes before the ship struck, and looked a-head him self, but could not see the land distinctly then, nor even after the ship had struck. The captain gave orders to back the engine, which was done, and the ship came off the rocks ; but, finding her sinking, the engines were set on again to run her on the shore, which was prevented by the collapse of the boiler. The third officer was below in bed when the accident oc curred. Ile immediately assisted in getting over one of the paddle-box boats, but while so employed the boiler collapsed, from sudden condensation, occasioned by the water rushing into the engine-room, and the steam came up so strong amidships as to drive all the people away. They afterwards returned and got that boat into the water. There was not time, however, to get the other paddle-box boat over before the vessel foundered, owing to the time lost and the alarm created by the collapse of the boiler. Three of the quartet -boats, as well as one of the paddle-box boats, were safely lowered, and these four boats saved 98 persons. Of the 35 persons lost, several, including the cap tain, might have easily saved their lives, but could not be persuaded to go into the boats. _ . . It appears further that all unite in praising the noble and devoted conduct of Captain Dunca❑ after the striking of the ship, and it is manifest that he sacrificed his own life in the endeavour to preserve the lives of others. THE INDIGO CROP.—The crop of this reason is very fa. vourably reported upon by the papers brought by th e over land mail, and the good accounts received of the appearance of the plant have induced some parties to estimate the probable quantity at 110,000 maunds, while others think it will fall short of that considerably, The Committee of In. quiry, composed of shareholders, appointed to look into the transactions which occurred between the late firm of Gilmore and Co. and the Union Bank, have at length fi n i s h e d t h eir task, and they have done so to the satisfaction of all parties interested in the losses of the latter as well as the former establishment. The report has been published, an d i t dis closes some extraordinary proceedings on the part o f th e b ank, by which they lost £50,000, instead of £500,000, as it mi g ht, end was reported, to have been; while the investigation has, on the other hand, expose . d . what on e mem b er o f th e com mittee calls fraud in effect, it not in intention, on the part of Gilmore and Co., in procuring advance on goods which they never held, and rem9ving what goods were pledged to the bank without authority. The secretary has, of course, had ll the blame of the losses throw n upon his shoulders, and , his, we think, with too much severtt}7; for the directors, under whom he acted, should have had their moiety of the Alum. The supreme government has suspended the opera. Lions of public lotteries, pending a reference to the court of directors. It is stated that the lottery has been made pro fitable to the company under its late management. It has been abandoned for its immoral tendency. The Indian press has passed a general vote of censure on these nuisances. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT GREENWICH. — Oar Sunday a great sensation was occasioned at G reenw i c h, b y the an nouncement that Geo. Smith, Esq. (one of the magistrates ; for the county of Kent) had committed suicide by hanging Himself. It appears, that Mr. Smith attended divine service en Sunday morning, and returned ho me a b ou t one o ' c l oc k , leaving Mrs. Smith to receive the Sacrament. On being let , in by one of the servants, he walked up stairs to his own bed-room and shut the door. Mrs. Smith returned at two o'clock, and expressed some alarm on hearing that her hus band had been in his bed-room so long. She and the ser vant hastened up stairs, when they found the door locked, and could get no answer. A man named Chapel was eromptly employed to mount to the window by means of a ladder, and found Mr. Smith hanging by the neck at the eed-post, with his hands tied with a siik handkerchief. Cha rred cut the unfortunate gentleman down, but, though not cold, he seemed quite dead. Mr. Kemble, surgeon, de posed :—" I have attended the deceased professionally. l'here were circumstances that induced me to think that he night to be held under restraint, but he was of so tractable Ind amiable a disposition that it would ha ve been cruel to have prevented him from walking alone. He bad a delusion in his mind that he had made an i ncorrect return f or th e ncome tax. lie was himself one of the commissioners. l'he deceased has long been of infirm m i n d . A man atten- Jed him generally, by way of p recaution, and deceased was ware of the object of it, and app eared grateful for attentions mud care. The deceased was never confined. He had been sway, and returned on Friday. I him on Saturday , and hen be seemed in deep gloom as to the income-tax return. Icons idered " this an infirmity of m i n d , and clearly indicative f insanity. Col. Feed tendered evidence, but the coro ier considered it unnecessary, and the j ur y i m mediately re :urned a verdict of " Temporary insanity," ‘ , VggATHAMPstIiA.b.----WHOLRBALt SIILEta B'tlsAJANti. During the past few days several ewes and lambs belonging to a respectable farmer in this neighbourhood, Mr. Dicken son, of the Cross farm, have been stolen under most myste rious circumstances ; for though taken away night after night, not the slightest trace of sheep or thieves could be obtained. Mr. Dickenson on Sunday morning last, having hr that time lost no fewer than twelve ewes and eleven lambs, proceeded to give information to Captain Robertson, the the chief constable of police, who immediately himself took the case in hand. The chief constable proceeded to Cross farm, and the result of his exertions has been that all the missing sheep have been recovered, and two men are in cus tody for the offence, one of whom we deeply regret to learn, is a son of the party robbed. It appears that Frederick Dickenson, the prisoner alluded to, sold the ewes and lambs to a man named Charles Young, residing at Codicote-bottom, and the latter drove them to Hertford market, and sold them to a dealer named Deshorough, from whom they were taken by one of Captain Robertson's officers in Hitchin market on Tuesday. We are given to understand that the unfortunate youth, Frederick Dickenson, has confessed everything relating to the transaction.—Bedford paper of the 6th. REMARKABLE CHARACTER.—AIexander Innes, who has resided in Queensferry for many years, died on the Ith inst. at the very advanced age of 104. He was born in the parish of Duffas, Morayshire : but unfortunately the date of his birth has not been recorded in the parish register ; yet, from every circumstance being taken into consideration, it seems he had reached the years which few are permitted to see. He had a distinct recollection of the events that preceded the battle of Culloden—was in the neighbourhood of an af fray with the Highlanders on their march thither—and often spoke of a horse on which Prince Charles rode, as being an object of particular care among his juvenile companions. He had been present also in the stirring times of the Irish rebellion, and had witnessed some of the attrocities of that dreadful period. Often had he proceeded with cattle from the North of England, and was well acquainted with that trade, and the persons engaged in it. With a change of times, he had been engaged in many pursuits ; he had been a road contractor, a farm servant, and had his share in the demoralising trade of illicit distillation. For the last twenty years and upwards he followed the humble trade of a hawker of fish. Old Sandy Innes and his ass were known to the whole country side, and there were few doors he knocked at without finding a purchaser, and few, who had the means, who refused him the cheer his aged frame required. He had walked to and from Hopetoun House the day before his death. The Earl of Hopetoun, whose sudden death has oc casioned a great sensation, was a kind benefactor to the old man, and at his departure for London had left orders that he should not be forgotten. He was civil and grateful for any kindness shown to him. He occupied a solitary dwelling, his aged companion having died many years ago; but there were those who consulted the old man's comfort while alive, and many neighbours accompanied his remains to their last resting place in the churchyard of Queensferry.—Edin burgh paper. 001pping fittelltgrnrc.

Price Wheat, qrs. Oats Barley SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 10 Though the show of stock to-day was good. there was never theless an improved demand, and both Beef and Mutton were the turn dearer. A number of prime Beasts have each week been sent to London—a most unusual thing. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 9 A tremendous demand for Cotton again to-day, both from the trade and speculators; the hitter have purchased about 7000 bales, the former about 3000, at very full prices, and business is still progressing. COTTON MARKET, MAY 11. Since our last circular, the demand for Cotton has somewhat abated. On Tuesday 10,000 bales were sold ; yesterday about the same quantity ; up to two o'clock there was great activity, but after that time a temporary lull was perceptible, and buyers or speculators were not so keen as the previous day or two; they have only taken 2000, and the trade 4000, making a total of 6000 bales—without any change iu prices, but with not quite so animated a tone and feeling in the market. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 8. We have to report a fair supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. On the best white there was an advance of is; but this improvement did not apply to red and secondary. Barley remains at the same prices, and last week's currency was supported for Peas and Beans. The Oat trade is fully as dear as last week. SMITHFIELD, MAY 8. The supply of Beasts large ; a great number having arrived from Scotland, the trade was very dell at 2d per 81b. redaction. There were plenty of buyers for Sheep at Friday's prices, the weather being unfavourable. Lambs were sold at reduced prices. Calf trade not so good, but few realised 4s 4d per 81b. Beet 2s 4d to 3s 10d, Mutton 2s 8d to 3s tid, Veal 30 6d to 48 6d, Pork 35 to 4s, and Lamb 4s 60 to 50 Bd. By the quantities of 81bs. sinking the offal. Live Cattle at market. Beasts 8022, Calves 107, Sheep and Lambs 29,350, and Pigs 3:6. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, MAr 5. At this day's market Wheat and Oats supported Tuesday's prices, with a rather better demand for Oats than of late. White Wheat, 27s to sos 6d; millers' red, 245 to 28s td; Barley, 11s to 148; Oats, Os to iOs ; Oatmeal gs to Ils ; and second Flour, ISs to 16s. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 9. Excepting Malt, of which the supply coastwise is rather liberal, the arrivals thence and from Ireland since this day week are generally but light ; those of foreign produce, con sisting simply o f 1022 qrs . o f Wh eat f rom Danzig, and 1003 barrels of Flour trom the American States. Upon a more numerous meeting of home and country buyers at this day's market than we have lately bad occasion to notice, the Wheat trade at the commencement assumed a firm aspect, and for good useful samples of Irish and Foreign Wheat an improvement of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. was realised ; but the advance being reluctantly paid, the transactions were only moderate, and in the value of English we have little or no change to note : the recent imports from the Baltic, however, we may observe, were held at such prices as could not be obtained. English and iri;Cilour, attended with a tolerably fair sale, fully supported our last currency, and prime brands of foreign were rather dearer. For Malting Barley the demand appears to have ceased, but of grinding qualities some small parcels have been cleared at former prices ; and Malt continued to meet occasional en quiries at our last quotations. Beans and Pease remained nominally unvaried. Good Oats, being still very scarce, and in moderate de. mend, improved Id. per 45 lbs : and Oatmeal was more rea dily saleable on the terms of last week.
