BOYS' FINE ART DISTRIBUTION (From the Tyne Mercury.) Among the " signs of the times," one of the most pro minent is the rapidly increasing taste of the public for works of art. The rage (it may truly he called such) for illustration is in the ascendant. We have hooks display- OF ing all that art can do in this way; wood-cut, engraving, lithogrophy, 'ntinf.r ~nrorno-. lozraptiy, anc. ur prt, g, vie with nne another to fascinate the eye. Then we have illustrated periodicals of every form, degree of merit, and price, from the Pictorial Times and the Illuminated Ma gazine to the penny publications teeming with wood-cuts that inundate the newsman's counter weekly. Twenty years ago, the single cut in the Mirror did for that peri odical what no literary talent alone would have done. It made it command an extensive sale for a series of years, till a new era commenced in the annals of art—an era that we as philanthropists and social philosophers hail most heartily. We allude to that epoch when art-unions took their rise from the prolific brain of a few benefactors of their kind. Nay, think not we speak unadvisedly; they are benefactors of their kind who turn the current of public taste into that channel which, in the words of the ancient " emollit mores nec sinit esse feros," softens their manners and implants the gentler virtues in their breast. But to the purpose: art-unions have unquestionably done immense good, by diffusing through all classes of the com munity a taste for the productions of the brush, the pen cil. and the graver, they have exercised the most health ful patronage on native talent; they have also had a moral influence, that of opening a source of refined enjoyment to many to whom the delights of art were formerly in accessible. Now, what has been achieved by associ ►tion in the case of art-unions, Mr. Boys (so favourably known to the public as one of the most spirited publishers of high class engravings) proposes to do singly. Nay more, he offers the public superior advantages to any they receive from the art-unions, whether British or foreign. He honestly admits he is induced to do this in self-defence, and for le gitimate purposes of trade : but nevertheless the case is such as he represents it. Each subscriber has the choice of selection, for the full value of the sum subscribed, from 201 engravings, among which are the universally admired " Bolton Abbey," "The Trial of the Earl of Strafford," "The Canterbury Pilgrims," and many other first rate works. (" The Momentous Question," engraved by Bellin, after a picture by Miss S. Setchell, by the bye, is eminently beautiful.) Then after receiving a good quid pro quo for his money in the shape of one or more splen did engravings, each subscriber of a guinea has one chance out of every twenty of getting a prize varying from £5O to £5OO in value. If this is not inducement to try one's luck, we do not know what can be. The subscribers risk nothing hut the mere fact of laying out well their guinea, and they have one-twentieth chance of getting 50 or 500 times the value of their money, inclusively. We under stand Mr. Boys has met with such extensive public pa tronage, that the drawing of the prizes will take place next month, (October). We wish him every possible success in his public spirited enterprise, and we recommend all our readers, whether rich or poor, to take a ticket in this unique lottery, where there can be no loss and there may be immense gain. We proposed glancing at the merits of some of the principal works in the list of prizes and engravings for selection by subscribers ; but as ample and accurate details may be gleaned from Mr. Boys' Prospectus, we beg leave to refer our readers to that source for information. DARING IMPIETY.—A female, calling herself Mrs Marten, gave, what is called a lecture, on Tuesday even ing, in the Socialist's-hall, Manchester, on the inutility of prayer; and on Thursday evening a second lecture, on the unreasonableness of public worship !! ! There were about one thousand persons present. A HIGH AUTHORITY.—The authorship of the letters in the Morning Chronicle, signed, " One who has whistled at the Pough," has b,-en attributed to many persons. I can state from personal knowledge, that the writer is Alexander Somerville, the soldier who was flogged about eleven years ago, and elevated to the dignity of a martyr by the Weekly Dispatch. He is in the employment of the Anti-Corn-law League. (London Correspondent of the Oxtord Herald) For daring assertion " One who has whistled at the Plough" stands unequalled ; and his au thority for facts is often the dernier ressort of the League scribes ! HOP INTELLIGENCE. — CANTERBURY.—HOD-picking is very general in this part, but the crop falls short in quantity, though the quality mostly is good. In conse quence, however, of the great deterioration that i s appar ent by delay , the planters have consideraby increased the number of pickers, and most of them will be finished this week. The duty, at the highest, is laid at £145,000 though some persons will not back it at that sum. MAID STONE.—The hop-picking has now commenced nearly everywhere. The planters also complain everywhere of their coming down very short of expectation, more par ticularly where they have been blighted ; there they come nearly half short of what they where estimated at. There is no doubt the duty is estimated much too high— Kentish Observer. CUSTOMS ORDERS.—By a Board's Minute on the Sth instant, Workington, in the port of Whitehaven, has been approved for the bonding of all foreign goods. By a Board's Minute of the Bth instant, work boxes, tables, &c., of lacquered ware, and fitted up with other materials, in future to be charged the duty of 13 per cent. only, un less the fittings or materials belonging thereto (not being japanned or lacquered ware) should exceed the value of the orticle as a work box, worktable, &c., without such fittings or materials, in which case the duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem, to be charged upon the whole, as goods ma nufactured and not otherwise rated. By a Board's Minute of the 13th instant, officers are directed not to act nnnn n „, rte• eue wnpulria ot goods, duty free, as stores, until the usual bond shall have been first given. MURDER OF A HUSBAND BY HIS WIFE.—On Mon day, the 18th instant, the neighbourhood of Dilton's Marsh, Westbury, Wilts, was the scene of much excite ment, occasioned by a report that Robert Cuzner, a weaver, who resided there, had been killed by his wife. On the evening abovementioned a dispute had arisen between them, and he was shut out of the house by his wife. He afterwards pressed in, and on his entering, the door was closed. Soon after the neighbours heard a noise, as if they were struggling and pushing each other about their room. The wife admits that she pushed him down, though she declares she had no intention of taking away his life. After a patient investigation, the magis trates came to the decision of committing the wife to the New Prison, Devizes, to take her trial at the next assizes for manslaughter. It is remarkable that Edward Cuzner, brother of the deceased, died about two hours after the above unfortunate occurrence, his death having, it is believed, been accelerated by excitement, arising from the intelligence having been suddenly communicated to him. ATTENDANCE OF THE LANCASHIRE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN THE SESSION OF 1843. The total number of divisions, in the House of Commons during the session of 1843, was 220, in which there voted —l, Joseph Brotherton, Salford, 191 ; 2, Dr. Bowring, Bolton, 153; 3, Lord Stanley, North Lancashire, 129; 4, William Sharman Crawford, Rochdale, 120; 5, Thomas Greene, Lancaster, 102; 6, Charles Hindley, Ashton, 92 ; 7, Sir Howard Douglas, Liverpool, 88 ; 8, John Wilson Patten, North Lancashire, 82; 9, J.

BIRMINGHAM MUSIC MEETING.—The performances on Wednesday morning was very thinly attended, the ball being not above half filled. The principal feature was Crotch's Palestine. The second part of the perform ance consisted of a miscellaneous selection. The most remarkable feature was a solo on the organ, performed by Dr. Wesley, who played for nearly half an hour, exhibit ing great imagination, and a thorough command of all the resources of harmony. He concluded with one of the great pedal figures of Sebastian Bach, in which he brought into action all the powers of the gigantic i ns t rumen t, t o the astonishment and delight of the audience,who greeted him with several rounds of applause. Attwood's Corona tion Anthem, composed for the coronation of William IV., one of the noblest productions of the English eccle siastical school, was performed with the utmost grandeur of effect. On Wednesday evening selections from the English version of Bellini's opera of Norma drew a bril liant assembly to the theatre. Every part of the house was crowded from the floor to the ceiling. The receipts of the evening amounted to upwards of £3,100. Miss Clara Novello enacted her favourite character, Norma ; Miss Rainforth, Adalgisa ; Mr. Manvers, Pollio ; and Mr. Giubilei, Oroveso. On Thursday morning the Messiah was performed, and, as is usually the case, to an immense audience, for every vacant nook of the orchestra was filled with parties of ladies and gentlemen, paying a guinea each for admission. The number present must have been about three thousand. DEATH OF MR. USHER, THE CLOWN.—This well known performer closed his mortal career on Saturday last, at his residence, Hercules-hall, Hercules-buildings, after a potracted illness of some months. For the last half-century no man has contributed more to the amuse ment of the public in all quarters of the kingdom than Dinky Usher. Migratory from his cradle his name is familiar as a household word from the Shetlands to Cape Clear. Notwithstanding he has borne for many years the appellation of " Old Dickey Usher," he has scarcely reached the period allotted to humanity. Some say he has died in his 58th year : his family state That he has not reached that period. " Little Dickey" at a very early age was a conspicuous person, and contributed by his activity and shrewdness to the success of " the concern." A spirit of adventure induced h!m to start on his own ac count, and in company with a friend he collected a " con siderable quantity of coppers" in the towns of Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, &c. On one of these occasions he was fortunate enough to attract the notice of Mr. Banks, proprietor of the Liverpool Amphitheatre, who immediately offered him an engagement, which Dicky joyfully accepted, and made his first bow to a Liverpool au dience at the Christmas of 1807. His success here was pro digious—his readiness in the circle supplied a stock of jokes for the universal public, and no contrivance, how ever extravagant, was considered impossible for his in vention. His fame quickly reached the ears of the ma nagers of Astley's, and in the year 1809 he appeared in London under the management of Mr. Joha Ashley, in conjunction with the celebrated Richer, the rope-dancer. He forthwith became a first-rate favourite. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE RAILWAY MANAGEMENT-EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RAILWAY TIMES Sir,—Each half year, as it passes away, makes it more and more clear that the present system of railway manage ment will, in the end, leave the poor shareholders in most Railway Companies (as is the case in Turnpike Trusts) but a merely nominal interest. Less and less will the dividends become, till at last railway officials will eat up everything—become, in fact, the only parties beneficially interested in the lines. It may be said that the Directors of Railway Companies have themselves a large stake in the conc,rns, and will therefore do their best to prevent this. But surely though this was once the case, it is not so now, most of them having so extensively sold their shares that the good of the several undertakings is quite a minor consideration, when extensive patronage, and place for needy sons, nephews, friends, and relatives, are in view. In proof of this we see the Directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow line holding the very least possible interest in the concern —scarcely, I believe, £15,000 worth of shares amongst them, though the capital of the Company is £1,500,000 or more ! And this very company the other day, at their half-yearly meeting, were compelled to reduce their divi dend to 2k per cent. for the half year, owing to a consid erably-increased expenditure ; and this increase in despite of an enormous fall in the .price of every kind of material used on the line, and in supplying which this expenditure arises—say in the price of coal, coke, iron-work, wood, oil, tallow, grease, labourers' wages, horse work, &c. &c. I will venture to assert that seeing the very great fall in the price of the materials used in the needful repairs of railway lines, as abovesaid, a well-organised Committee of shareholders, sitting on the expenditure of this very Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, would at least save half-yearly the sum of £5,000; not a little of which, in a reduction of the salaries of the officials themselves, and their underlings, especially as the necessaries, and even luxuries, of life are now so much lower than they used to be—whilst this saving of £5,000 half-yearly, or £lO,OOO per annum, would add more than 1 per cent. to the divi dend, and of course cause the shares in this railway to rise £2O each, if not more, above their present value. You will remember that, owing to your own great la bours chiefly, railway shareholders did about a year ago manage to get themselves into a passion, and were then evidently bent on bringing about the needful economy in railway management. Immense exertions were made on all sides, and the Directors appeared as if about to have the worst of it ; but unfortunately you yourself, apparently, became alarmed at the fury of the storm you had raised up and the direction it was taking, and in consequence threw cold water on all further exertions, and so effectu ally lulled the storm that nothing was done afterwards save some extensive savings in the expenditure of the North Midland line. Will you allow me to suggest that your utmost exertions are again imperatively required, or the railway system must go to nothing. The traffic cannot be pushed further; nor will there ever be any effective economy, the only re source of the poor shareholder, until the Directors are compelled to adopt it " ax FORCE OF ARMS." • I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. A SHAREHOLDER SINCE 1833. THE CORNISH RAILWAY.—The subscriptions towards this all-important line of communication with every part of Great Britain amount to £44,500, of which £24,150 has been entered on account of Falmouth. In the Dublin and Kingston Railway, passengers are carried in one of the trains at the rate of half a farthing per mile. Before they reduced their fares, shares were at 18 per cent. discount : now they hear 7 per cent. premium, and the passengers increased 400,000. A new line is now in contemplation from the terminus of the Taff Vale Railway to pass through Wales, cross the Severn, and unite, on its extension to Worcester, with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. The estimated cost is £l,soo,ooo.—Railway Times. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—On Thursday week an inquest was held at Sapperton, Gloucestershire, on the bodies of George Freeman, aged 26, and Henry Stokes, aged 33, who were killed the previous day, in the open cutting of the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway, on Frampton Common. The Chester Courant says, i❑ reference to the contem plated Chester and Holyhead Railway, "There is now,we believe, no doubt that this important undertaking will be carried into effect. The necessary notices, preparatory to the application for an act of parliament during the next session, are in the course of delivery along the intended line. The Carlisle Patriot says, that renewed efforts are about to be made to secure the formation of a line of rail road, between Lancaster and Glasgow, via' Carlisle. The associated railway companies, who came forward with so much liberality when the project was mooted last year, are still prepared to promote the work by the liberal sub scription of half a million of money. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—We are pleased to observe that the traffic on this line is increasing. In the week ending the 10th instant, 20,311 persons were carried, (being an increase of nearly 1000 on the preceding week, which exceeded its predecessor by 1300,) and the earnings, including the charges for goods, were £5,558 lls. 7d. ; being an increase of upwards of £4OO upon the week ending the 3d instant, and an excess, as compared with the corresponding week last year, of not less than I,33o.—Brighton Guardian. The Journal des Chemins defer says :—" An inventor announces that he has found a composition which will reduce to a mere trifle the price of rails for railroads. He replaces the iron by a On mhinntinn of Kaolin play (that used for making pottery and china) with a certain metallic substance, which gives a body so hard as to wear out iron, without being injured by it in turn. 100 kilo grammes of this substance, would cost less than 15 francs, and would furnish 21 metres of rail. The Kaolin clay is abundant in France, and the valley of the Somme con tains immense quantities of it." THE GREAT RAILWAY STATION, MANCHESTER.— This splendid and extraordinary work, which will unite the Liverpool and Manchester and Manchester and Leeds lines at limit's Bank, is progressing most satisfactorily; the junction of the latter is fast approaching completion, more than one half of the rails being already laid ; this junction line is an inclined plane, along which the carria ges will be drawn by a double stationary engine of 240- horse power, working an endless wire rope. The station, including the sliding lines, turn-tables, arrival and depar ture platform, &c., will be the most extensive in the kingdom, surpassing the justly celebrated one at Derby ; it will include a space of 852 feet in length, by an average breadth of 130 feet, having five main lines of rails ; 700 feet of this length will be covered with an iron roof in three compartments, of 59 feet 6 inches, 28 feet, and 26 feet 3 inches span respectively, supported by elegant iron columns. The station-house containing the waiting and refreshment rooms, booking-offices, &c., all erected in the most convenient and extensive manner, is a hand some building in the Roman Doric style, 266 feet long and 36 wide, raised one story from the ground, and sur mounted by a parapet ; the refreshment saloon is lighted by elegant circular headed windows with stone pilasters and dressings, and surmounted by an elegant cornice, in the centre of which is to be placed a handsome clock. The entrance to the booking offices are under a covered way supported by brackets, 9 feet 6 inches long, which, though perhaps not equal in architectural beauty to pil lars surpass them in convenience, as it leaves a clear space for vehicles and foot passengers, and will be unexampled for general convenience. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On Wednesday last t he special general meeting of the proprietors of this com pany, for the purpose of determining on the amalgama tion of the North Midland, the Midland Counties, and Birmingham and Derby railway companies, being the con cluding meeting, was held at the railway station, Derby, and was attended by nearly 200 persons.—Mr. T. E. Dicey, the chairman of the board of directors, took the chair at one o'clock, and laid before the meeting the plan agreed to at the special general meetings of the North Midland and Birmingham and Derby Railways, on Mon day and Wednesday last, contending that it would be in expedient to adopt the proposition, and that the contest which had so long existed between the Birmingham and Derby and Midland Counties companies ought to be amicably settled before any such negotiations were enter tained.—Mr. John Ellis, a director, advocated the pro position for an amalgamation, and proposed a substantive resolution to that effect, in which he was seconded and supported by Mr. Lawrence Heyworth, of Liverpool, Mr. Waddingham, Mr. Richardson, and other large pro prietors from the north.—Sir Robert Morley and Mr. Alderman Hudson also urged on the proprietors the adop tion of the proposed agreement. The discussion was pro longed until past four o'clock, when a division took place, and afterwards at the demand of the chairman, a scrutiny was bad. In the first instance the proposition was adopted by a majority of 115 to 11, and in the scrutiny, by a ma jority of 1,752 votes (including proxies) to 498. Mr. Lawrence Hey worth protested strongly against the chair man's proceedings in demanding a poll, and declared his conviction that it arJse from a factious opposition, and that he had disgraced himself in the opinion of the meet ing. A motion requesting him to leave the chair was pro posed, and was productive of great noise and clamour. The result of the scrutiny was formally declared to be largely in favour of the proposed amalgamation, which it was understood would be carried into effect without delay, and that the three companies would be henceforth incor porated and known under the name of the "Great Mid land Railway." THE INDIA MAIL.—A meeting of merchants and others was held in London, on Tuesday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of accelerating the communication with India. Mr. J. A. Smith, the chairman, explained to those present, that all that was ex pected was an expression in general terms in favour of improved communication, without reference to any com pany whatever. Consistently with this view, the resolu tions which he read to the meeting were prepared so as to show what the public desired, and to leave entirely to the Government the manner and the means to be be adopted in carrying their wishes out. They were to the effect that the present arrangement was defective in two particulars, as the mails from Bombay seldom reached England in time for the merchants to answer their letters, and that a similar inconvenience attended the arrival of the outward mails at Calcutta ; that any plan that could be adopted to remove these defects by accelerating the communication between the two countries would be of the greatest nation.. al benefit ; that memorials on the subject should be ad dressed to the East India Company, and copies sent to the Government ; and that to manage and watch over the matter a committee should be appointed. The resolutions were passed almost unanimously, and the committee was named, with the understanding that it should calla public meeting on the let of December. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SELECTIONS NATIVE IRISH PARLIAMENT A CENTURY SINCE. — The Parliament of that century was a jobbing aristocracy, banded into different parties, without much, if any, distinc tion of principle. The English government used their pa tronage to • ..-c! ase a majority. But the mouths of one party we. sooner stopped by pensions and places, than another rose to complain of profusion in the name of their country, and to •?,sk for new extravagance in their own. A fresh purchase only led to fresh pretensions. and the very pensioners themselves had the effrontery to exclaim against the burdens of which their own faction and corruption had been the cause. While they have acutely felt the injury and degradation to which they have been subjected by English laws, every relaxation of undue severity, and every dawn of a kinder disposition towards them, has been met by a warmth of gratitude and zeal of attachment which seem to have no memory for past injuries, and no suspicions of future injustice.—Cor respondence of the Fourth Duke of Bedford. HARVEST HoME.—Autum has been from the begin ning of time the season of sports and jollity. Even its toils, among a simple people, have something pleasant in them. When the husbandman sows, his mind rests on the long and anxious interval during which an inclement season, or the devastations of beasts and birds, or a thous and accidents, may intervene to blast his prospects. But the reaper already touches the reward of all his cares and toils ; the rustling grain into which he puts his sickle is already in imagination garnered up; he is on that ecstatic border-land where anticipation and reality fade into each other like the tints of the rainbow. Autumn is also, in such a society, the season when the labours of husbandry, requiring method and forethought, are about to give way to the chase and other occupations, which, from their varying plans and unexpected incidents, have quite as much of pleasure as of business in them. And lastly, autumn is to them the season of abundance, when the garner is filled, and the wine-press or the mash-tub runs over, and the owner's heart expands with his wealth, and welcomes all corners to taste of his first-fruits. Hence, in all climates, of all festivals the autumnal is the most jolly. THE BACHELOR'S LETTER.—" It is now ten round years since I sate myself down at my parsonage, and commenced to preach and to hold examination, to bap tize and bury, and attend to my calling in the power of my mind and well-meaning of my heart, and permitted my house, as well as my kitchen and cellar, &c., to be attended to by any one who for money would be pleased to see after them. My sister once paid a visit to me and my house. Brother!' said she, this is going ~,e ar-box is emptied in two da• and a nays, pound of coffee a-week is not enough ! The potatoes are treated as if they were to rain down from heaven ; but it is no wonder that Madame Oberg's pigs are so fat! The rolls are brought from town! It is a shame not to bake at a parsonage! In the dairy three milk-pans are standing without cream. My brother! my dear brother! you are cruelly robbed and cheated ! I had myself re marked that lately the hens had eaten more coin than was henlike, and Madame Oberg's pigs were continually lying in my way before the steps. ' But,' said my sister, why do you not live as becomes a minister and pastor of the Church? Why are you not married? Did not our Lord see that it was good for Adam—who certainly, however, had small household cares—to be alone; and did he not say; I will give him a help-meet, to whom he may cleave' —` who shall cleave to him, it is written,' interrupted I : ' Women should never meddle with quotations, for they always quote wrong.'—' Ay, it is just one and the same thing,' answered my sister ; ' and when our Lord said he would give Adam a help-meet, He clearly showed thereby that a man cannot help himself without a wife.' "—From Mary Howitt's new work," The President's Daughters." THEATRICAL CRITICISM FORTY YEARS AGO.—On the sth of October, 1805, a revival of Farquhar's comedy, The Constant Couple, was advertised for that evening's representation at Drury-lane Theatre. Late in the after noon handbills had been circulated, stating that, in con sequence of the sudden illness of Mr. Elliston, who was to have personated Sir Harry Midair, the comedy would unavoidably be deferred, and She Stoops to Con quer was then substituted. The following critique (!) ap peared in a journal called the British Neptune " Theatre Royal, Drury-lane. Last night Farquhar's sprightly comedy, The Constant Couple, was most bar barously murdered at this theatre. The lively knight was by Mr. Elliston reduced to a dull piece of affectation —it was Tom Errand in Beau Clincher's clothes. Clincher was altogether lost in the hands of Bannister—it approached Farquhar as nearly as the frog resembled the ox in the fable. Miss Mellon wnc not thoroughly un ifica,m, in net representation of Angelica ; but criticism has not language severe enough to deprecate the imperti nence of Barrymore presuming to put himself forward in the part of Colonel Standard. We were scarcely less offended with Dowton's attempt at Alderman Srnuogler it was only not absolutely the worst thing we ever saw." Elliston, Barrymore, Dowton, and Bannister determined to be revenged, and commenced a prosecution against the old Il eptune, which would inevitably have brought him from his coral palace to the dry floor of the Court of King's Bench, but for the mercy of the very mortals themselves whom he had so deeply injured. The prose cution was stayed—a compromise was entered into, the proprietors of the paper paying, of c-urse, all expenses, and a supplemental fifty pounds to the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund.—Raymond's " Elliston Papers" in Ainsworth's Magazine. IRISH SOLDIERS IN THE LEGION.—There are no where to be found more amusing fellows than Irish sol diers, full as they all are of quaint humour and smart repartee. " I have heard many droll traits and stories of the Irish soldiery under Evans. On the 16th of March, '37, when the Queen's troops were in full retreat, my squadron was formed up on the road to Hernani, occasi onally charging down when the opportunity presented itself', in order to cover the retreat. Up come an Irish inHutry soldier, who, although following the example pretty generally given him, and retreating, still seemed to do it a contrecteur, and kept up a sort of running fight on his own account, perfectly independent of anybody else in the world. The fellow was steaming from what appear ed to be a mixture of heat and fury, and his face was as red as Dan O'Connell's after a few hours' speech to the finest pisanthry. His lips and cheeks were black with biting cartridges. `Be —l' said he, thumping his musket-butt down on the ground, and wiping his face with a rag he took out of his shako, ` Be ! and they call Join Carlos a pretindher! What a devil of a fellow he'd be if he was in airnest !' When Irun was taken, plunder was the order of the day, and a staff officer told me that he met a soldier of an Irish regiment with a case of beautiful Geneva watches in his hand. Knowing that the fellow would either get drunk and lose them, or sell them at five francs a piece to the French officers and others whom curiosity brought in crowds across the Bidassoa, my friend thought he might as well have one of the time-keepers. ` Hollo ! my man,' cried he, 'give me a watch, and here's a four-dollar bit for you.' And is it four du '.l ye're afther giving me ? ' said Paddy. 'Ali! then, yer . our, take a handful of em.' And he held up the box. The officer laughed and took one ; but he derived little benefit from his bargain, for bivouacking a night or two after some marauder stole it out of the breast of his jacket while he slept."—New Monthly Magazine. ANECDOTE OF A COOS} of a g —An extraordinary instance _ ose attaching itself to a man, " following him about like a dog," was inserted in several journals last week, copied from a co nntry paper, and as an accompaniment to it an amusing account of a Canada goose conceiving a violent attachment to a dog is related i❑ Sharpe's copy of " Willughby's Ornithology." He says—" The following account of a Canada goose is so extraordinary, that I am aware it would with difficulty gain credit, were not a whole parish able to vouch for the truth of it. The Ca nada geese are not fond of a poultry-yard, but are rather of a rambling disposition. One of these birds, however, was observed to attach itself, in the strongest and most affectionate manner, to the house dog, and would never quit the kennel except for the purpose of feeding, when it would return again immediately. It always sat by the dog, but never presumed to go into the kennel, except in rainy weather. Whenever the dog barked, the goose would cackle and run at the person she supposed the dog barked at, and try to bite him by the heels. Sometimes she would attempt to feed with the dog; but this the dog, who treated his faithful companion rather with indiffer ence, would not permit. This bird would not go to roost with the others at night, unless driven by main force; and when in the morning she was turned into the field she would never stir from the yard gate, but sit there the whole day, in sight of the dog. At last, orders were given that she should be no longer molested, but suffered to accompany it as she liked ; being thus left to herself, she ran about the yard with him all the night ; and what is particularly extraordinary, and can be attested by the whole parish, whenever the dog went out of the yard and ran into the village, the goose always accompanied him, contriving to keep up with him by the assistance of her wings ; and in this way of running and flying, followed him all over the parish. This extraordinary affection of the goose towards the dog, which continued to his death, two years after it was first observed, is supposed to have originated from his having accidentally saved her from a fox in the very moment of distress. While the dog was ill, the goose never quitted him day or night, not even to feed ; and it was apprehended she would have been starved to death, had not orders been given for a pan of corn to be set every day close to the kennel. At this time the goose generally sat i❑ the kennel, and would not suffer any one to approach it, except the person who brought the dog's or her own food. The end of this faithful bird was melancholy; for whe❑ the dog died she would still keep possession of the kennel ; and a new house-dog being introduced, which in size and colour resembled that lately lost, the poor goose was unhappily deceived, and going into the kennel as usual, the new inhabitant seized her by the throat, and killed her." THE CORN TRADE. Hum,.—We understand that the duty of 14. per quar ter has been paid on about 60,000 quarters of wheat at this port.—Hull Packet. The duty on the importation of Foreign Wheat last week advanced to 17s. per quarter, at which rate it is expected the more recent arrivals will be taken our of bond for home consumption. NEWCASTLE.—Friday the large sum of £40,000 was paid at the Cunstom-house in Newcastle, for duty on corn, and on the two preceeding days £13,000 was paid, making £53,000 ; one house alone paid £13,000. The duty was 14s. per puarter. LEITH.—On Thursday the holders took the alarm, and commenced clearing from bond; and before three o'clock on that day £36,000 of duties were paid. Friday they were equally busy at the Custom-house paying duties, and there seems no falling off in the importations, 10,000 quarters being entered in two days.—Edinburgh Evening Post. GLASGOW.—Subsequent to Friday last, the duty on foreign wheat advanced from 14s. to 15s. per quarter; but previous to that day a very large quantity—in fact, the total amount remaining—was liberated at this port at the low duty. The amount upon which duty was paid at our custom-house was 19,331 quarters of wheat, and 2,327 quarters of barley. A similar course on the part of the holders of foreign grain would he followed all over the country, and as the imports yet to come are likely to be thrown on the market, so long as the duty does notexceed 175., it is computed by some journals that the total amount liberated will ere long amount to 700,000 or 800,000 quar ters, and reinforce the Exchequer to the extent of more than half a million sterling. This estimate /Ray be ex aggerated, but certain it is that many of the speculators on a bad harvest have burnt their fingers severely.—Glas gow Mail. INCREASE OF WHEAT.--In July, 1842, Mr. A. Palmer, of Cheam, Surrey, but one grain of wheat in a common garden -pot. In August the same was divided into four plants, which in three weeks were again divided into twelve plants. In September these twelve plants were divided into thirty-two, which in November were divided into fifty plants, and then placed in open ground. In July, 1843, 12 of the plants failed, but the remaining thirty-eight were healthy. On the 19th of August they were cut down, and counted 1,972 stems, with an average of 50 grains to a stem, giving an increase of 98,600! AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.—" We cannot deny," says the National, " whatever be the causes which para lyse the progress of our agriculture, that our produce is much inferior to that of the English. The following is a comparison of the agricultural produce raised by 1,000 families in France and in England:— In England. In France. Difference. Horses.... 273 Oxen .... 1,230 Sheep .... 11,000 Corn 56,000 hectolitres 40,000 hectolitres. In France it is calculated, that on every thousand square yards of ground there are 33 cultivators—in England only 28. Our agricultural produce ought, therefore, to be at least equal to that of England, and our inferiority conse quently proves the want of skill amongst the agricultu rists." THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FARMERS (From the Quarterly Review.) The corn-law and tariff of last year were organic mea sures, whose operations can only be tested by experience; and we do not suppose that any man, except an Anti corn-law Leaguer, would have wished to have seen a new experiment on those great interests. As far as our mate rials for judgment extend, we find that the advantages anticipated from those measures are fully confirmed ; bread and all other kinds of provisions have been lowered, and remain at moderate prices —exactly at the present moment those of 1835—and that without any decrease, but, on the contrary, with in some instances an increase of protection to the farmer. For instance, it will he seed by reference to the tables in our 70th vol. p. 522, that the importation of foreign wheat in the year 1839 was 2,702,848 quarters—and that the protectio❑ to the farmer in the shape of the net duties o❑ that importation was £670,034, or about 4s. 11d. the quarter—whereas in the last year, ending the sth July, 1843, under the new corn bill, we find that the importation has been nearly the same, 2,695,281 quarters; while the protection in the shape of duty has been no less than £1,200,000, varying from Bs. to 20s. per quarter—and affording, on the ave rage, double the former protection ; and in the year 1841, the year immediately before the operation of the new law, on an importation of 2,393,061 quarters, the protection in the shape of duty had been only 3s. sd. per quarter. It is true that the home prices have been lower in the present year, but that is the inevitable and—whatever partial inconvenience it may operate—the happy result of a good harvest; and it is clear that they would have been still lower but for the additional protection afforded, when most needed, by the ❑ew corn-bill. The prices too are positively higher, and relatively much higher, than in 1833-4-5 and 6; and let us add—no inconsiderable fea ture in this satisfactory retrospect—that upwards of £1,200,000 have been paid into a very needy exchequer. Let us now turn to the tariff. Can we recollect with out a smile what a bugbear the admission of live cattle was this time last year ?—can we recollect without pity the panic of so many farmers who sacrificed their stock under the terror of foreign invasion ? It is really worth while to preserve a record of the real effect of this formi dable aggression on the agricultural interests. An account of Live Stock imported in each of the first six months of the year 1843 : Oxen and Duty paid Month onding Dulls. Cows. Sheep. Swine. thereon. sth February.... 125 6 15 49 £147 sth March . 7 3 19 9 sth April ...... 131 39 8 26 172 sth May.. sth June sth July . • Total . 422 154 93 142 £595 In addition to this account of live stock, let us see what salted provisions were imported in the same period. An account of Foreign Salted Provisions imported in each of the first six months of 1813 : Dutypaid Month ending Beef, cwt. Pork, cwt. Hams, cwt. thereon. sth February.. sth March lO2 219 96 251 sth April 73 136 371 420 sth May 43 65 542 488 sth June sth July 24 680 571 745 T0ta1...... 478 1414 2191 £2698 And we subjoin a comparative account of the whole importation of salted provisions in the year 1841, before the tariff, and in the year 1842: Imported Beef, cwt. Pork, cwt. Hams, cwt. Total, cwt. In 1841 42,960 45,319 5,078 93,357 In 1812 29,990 54,163 7,842 91,925 Now is it possible, in the face of these accounts, to pretend that the tariff has done any serious injury, or in deed any at all, to the English or Irish agriculturist? We therefore entreat our agricultural friends to consi der this remarkable evidence as to the real effect of the most important and most litigated measures of last year, and to do the ministers—and us for our humble share in the defence of the ministers—the justice to recollect that these are exactly the results which they announced, and which we anticipated; namely, that the tariff might tend to regulate markets, and to lower prices to the poor con sumer, without doing any essential injury to the home producer. We ask them, furtl.er, to apply this experi ence to the bugbears of the present year—Canadian flour and Nova Scotian wheat -which we are satisfied are about as formidable as the beef of Spain and the mutton of Belgium. BANKING INTELLIGENCE. CARLISLE BANK.-Mr. John Brown late manager of the Carlisle city and district bank, has, according to a no tice issued by the directors, " absented himself from the bank under circumstances which have excited suspicions that be will not return." The directors say, they have examined his accounts, &c. and " have found everything correct, with the single exception that Mr. Brown's own cash account has been overdrawn to the amount of £2,554 9s. 3d. which sum, however, is considerably within the amount of his securities in the possession of the directors." A BAD SPECULATION.—We understand that amongst the advances made by the joint-stock bank which has just exploded in the Isle of Man, was one of £lO,OOO to no less a personage than Don Carlos, of Spain, made at the time when his army was starting from the Basque Provinces for Madrid, and which was to have been repaid tenfold when he arrived there. Unluckily, both for Don and the bank, he was stopped on the way by Espartero, in consequence of which he lost his chance of the crown, and the bank lost both its principal and interest. We have heard that the sailing of the Spanish Armada was retarded by the refusal of the bankers of Genoa to make certain advances to the government of Spain ; but we cer tainly were not aware until very recently that the fate of the Spanish monarchy had been so nearly decided by a joint-stock bank in the Isle of Man. BANK OF ENGLAND.—On Thursday a quarterly gene ral meeting of the proprietors of bank stock was held in the bank parlour, for the purpose of declaring a dividend for the half-year ending on the 10th of October next ; W. Cotton, Esq., governor, in the chair.—The Governor said the directors had resolved upon declaring a dividend of 3i per cent. interest and profit for the half-year ending on the 10th of October next, deducting 7d in the pound on account of the income tax. He had also to state that the court of directors, in order to enable them to declare this dividend, had taken from the " rest" the sum of £7,167 17s. 11d., the accounts being made up to the 10th of October. £5,864 had been taken from the " rest" in order to make up the dividend of the last half year, which, added to the amount taken to make up the present divi dend, made the total amount taken from the rest, during the present year, £13,032 Os. 11d. In the course of the proceedings the Governor said that in consequence of a communication, which the directors had received from her majesty's government, they had relieved 10,000 accounts from the payment of the tax, without giving the parties the trouble of making any application to the authorities on the subject.—Mr. Thompson inquired whether the bank bad sustained any considerable losses by the branch banks within the last six months? The governor replied that he was not aware of any.--In answer to a question from a proprietor, the Governor stated that the amount of the "rest," after paying the last dividend, was 43,177,737: and it would be, after piiyment of the present dividend, £3,170,570.—A dividend of 31 per cent was then declared, and the Governor stated that the dividend warrants would be delivered and payable on Wednesday, the 10th of October next.

TAE-PEACE AND PING-PLENTY TT is with the above appropriate characters—the Eng lish signification of which is " Peace and Plenty," that CAPT. PIDDING'S Chinese correspondent heads his last communication from Fo-kein. " Heaven," he adds, " approving, has rained down blessings on the Central Nation. In the same Season, Peace is proclaimed, and Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4-I18," (A. D. 1811,) " when the Earth was revivified by the broom tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality ; whilst the plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf. Thus has nature conspired with the gods to make man happy." The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS, just received, realises all that he anticipated from the above communication.. Their quality is most assuredly the finest he has known, Their abundance—with a remis sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to reduce the price below what they have ever before been charged. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is accordingly REDUCED from Bs. 6d. the Catty Package to 6s. the Pound Package. His SMALL LEAF GUN POWDER is REDUCED from 'l%;e.lve Shillings the Catty Package to Bs. 6d. the Pound Package. The Signature of the Sole Importer, " Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING," Hon. Company's Service, Fellow Med. Bet. Society, &c., is on every Genuine Package. AGENTS IN THIS DISTRICT : GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Agent for Liverpool. J. H.
