SECOND EDITION. Standarg.office, Ten o'clock. ATTACK ON HER MAJESTY. DAY OF PUBLIC THANKSGIVING. We regret that any feeling of disappointment should arise in our minds whilst making the following announcement, but it is occasioned by observing that a day is not specially set apart for the purpose of testifying the nation's joy on the happy deliverance of her Maje Sty from the late murderous attack. The appointment of Sunday, and not some other day usually devoted to secular pursuits, denotes a spirit of contrivance anything but commendable : (From the London Standard of last night.) At the Privy Council held at Buckingham Palace, this day, at two o'clock, it was ordered that a Proclamation be issued, appointing Sunday, the 21:4 instant, as a day of public thanks giving to Almighty God for the happy and providential escape of Her Majesty and her illustrious Consort from the diaboli cal attack upon their lives by r cowardly assassin. THE LATE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE HER M AJESTY. THE PISTOLS.—It has been ascertained that the pistols used by the prisoner were purchased at the shop of Mr. Hays, in Farrngdon-street, by a young man about a fortnight since, for which he paid £2. This discovery is considered by the police very important, as if it should turn out that the pistols were purchased by sortie other person, and not the prisoner, then it proves that more than one person was aware of the atrocious act, and on the other hand if it was the pri sianer who made the purchase, an inquiry then suggests itself (he being out of employ,) from what fund he obtained the money. Mr. Hayes and his assistant are to accompany Inspector Pearce to Newgate this afternoon, for the purpose of seeing the prisoner : the assistant says he has no doubt whatever of being able to identify the young man who bought the pistols if he can see him, as on that occasion he was very particular about the make and quality of them. After examining them some time he asked how far they would carry a ball, and was told 20 or 30 yards. He then said that would do, and agreed to buy them. He also on the same occasion bought a pow der flask, for which he paid 2s, but we do not know that this has been found. The person who bought the pistols did not ask or say anything about bullets. Mr. Hayes and his assis tant expect to be ,pmmoned to give evidence before the Privy Council to-mdrrow. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, JUNE 15. The charge of the. Common Sergeant contains observations upon the attack on her Majesty, and the murder of Lord William Russell. We therefore presume the two prisoners will be tried immediately. The Globe announces the death of Lady Wilde, wife of the Solicitor-General. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY. IRISH REGISTRATION BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL said, in moving the order of the day for the second reading of the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill, it was necessary for him to make a few observations on the no tice given by the noble lord, the member for North Lanca shire. (Hear.) Now he considered the course proposed by the noble lord was a new and unprecedented one. (Bear, hear.) It had long been found useful and convenient in the transaction of public - business that certain days in the week shciuld be open to the government, and that on those nights government business should have precedence, but the noble lord was about to set aside that regulation and adopt a course of proceeding at once unusual, inconvenient, and violent. (Cheers from the ministerial benches, and counter cheers from the opposition.) It was a mode of proceeding which he should say, at all events, was not conservative. (Laughter.) The noble lord, after a few observations, proceeded to say that if such a precedent was once to be sanctioned, there would be established a sure and certain plan of embarrassing, not only the present government, but any other government which might possess the confidence of the Crown, (hear,) and cause the greatest inconvenience to the transaction of public business. He should therefore persist in his intention, of moving the orders of the day, of which he had given notice, in the manner he at first proposed, viz., that the Clergy Re serves Bill should have precedence. Under these circum stances, therefore, he would consent to give the noble lord Thursday for considering the Irish Registration Bill in com mittee, or any other order -day next week, if that would be more convenient to the noble lord and his supporters. (Hear, hear.) He moved that the house now proceed with the Clergy Reserves in Canada Bill. (Hear.) Lord STANLEY denied that there was any violence in the proposition which he had given notice of. (Hear.) He ad mitted that the course he proposed was unusual (hear), but were the circumstances under which he made it not unusual? (Hear, hear.) The house was placed in a most unusual si tuation. On three different occasions the most strenuous opposition of her Majesty's ministers to the bill had been defeated by majorities. (Hear, hear.) Yet after this they still held the reit,s of government, and continued in their opposition to the measure. (Hear.) If the course he pro posed was unusual, it was not unconstitutional; and it was necessary to raise the question at issue between himself and her Majesty's Government. ( Hear.) With regard to the cour tesy which was due to a member of the house, never was less shown than towards him (Lord Stanley.) He contended that the course he pointed out was strictly a parliamentary one.. He denied that it was unparliamentary, violent, or unconstitutional. (Hear, hear.) He had only one object in view, that was, that the measure he had introduced should undergo a fair, full, and dispassionate inquiry in com mittee. (Hear.) He could not, after the house had a - ffirmed the principle consent to postpone its details from day to day. His public duty would not allow him to consent to delay. If the noble lord had on Thursday last made the offer he had now. done, he would at once have accepted it ; but on that night there was no offer of giving facility to the measure, but, on the contrary, every symptom of opposition was manifested. As the noble lord had, however, now offered an early open day, his (Lord Stanley's) object was answered, and he would not press his motion for this evening. (Hear, hear.) It signified little whether the bill was discussed on Thursday, Friday, or Monday next; and, therefore, if the noble lord would agree to going into committee at five o'clock, he would consent on either day the noble lord might name. (Hear.) His object, as he before said, was in not allowing unnecessary delay, or that he would not be defeated : he was determined the measure should have a full, cool, and impartial discus sion. (Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he had named Thursday as the earliest convenient day fur going into committee on the bill ; but if Friday or Monday was more convenient to the noble lord, he had no objection to either of those days (hear), and he could assure the noble lord that neither he nor any mem ber of the government would, whatever day might be agreed upon, obstruct the housegoing into committeeat live o'clock. Lord STANLEY was satisfied with this assurance, and would name Friday next for going into committee ; it being understood that on that day the Irish Registration Bill was to have precedence of all other business. (Hear.) Mr. D. O'CoNNELL could assure the house he would not .oppose going into committee on Friday, but so strong were his-objections to the measure, that he should take every op portunity possible of defeating it in committee. (Hear.) The order of the day for going into committee was then Nad and discharged, and the Irish Registration Bill ordered to be committed on Friday next, then to take precedence of all other business. _ _ The committee on the bill accordingly stands adjourned until Friday next, the 19th instant. During the above discussion the house was exceedingly crowded with members, and the greatest excitement pre vailed. As soon as the committee was postponed, the house became comparatively thin. THE UNITED STATES. The New York packet-ship Sheridan arrived here this forenoon at ten o'clock. She sailed on the 25th ultimo, and brings papers of that date. We have been politely favoured by Captain de Peyster with se veral New York journals of the latest dates. We sub join the state of the money market on the 24th ultimo. There had been a dreadful tornado at Natchez, the particulars of which will be found below. A great storni.had also been experienced in 11:inois in the beginning of last month. It did very great da mage to the farms, on which much valuable stock had been killed by the falling of timber. The rivers had also risen to a great height, and done much damage. The British Queen. steam-ship, arrived at New York on the 15th of May, in 13 days and 11 hours. There is no political news of importance, either from the United States or Canada. The Sheridan and the Columbus, New York packet ships, the Monongahela packet from Philadelphia, the ship Talleyrand, and several others from the southern states, arrived this . day with the same tide. . The Columbus has brought 50,000 dollars on freight. MONEY MARKET. SUNDAY, MAY 24-6 P.M.—The accounts from China which reach us to-day, are of a more favourable nature. There is some disposition on the part of the Chinese to com promise. Yesterday but a small business was done ; nothing occur red to relieve the markets of their gloomy features. Capi talists are waiting with anxiety the result of the proceedings at Harrisburg, and not without uneasiness at the probable passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill. This has long been a bug bear in the money market ; and the anticipation of its action has caused more real mischief than its actual operation will do. Trade is trammeled by the impossibility of getting money from the country, west or south. Our banks will touch no southern paper, and therefore the merchants are very cautious of selling. Many of our dry goods houses have actually received consignments of flour from the west, as a means of payment. This approaches very nearly a !barter trade. Instead of the sound banks depreciating their cur rency to a par with the broken banks of the south, the south must keep their currency on a par with New York, if they wish to keep their credit good at the centre of trade. The sales at the Stock Exchange were small; U.S. Bank declined per cent. ; Harlem .1 per cent. ; Stonington per t.eut. ; Farmers Trust -} per cent. Nothing has yet been done in the Pennsylvania legislature towards redeeming the honour of the state. An evident anxiety fur the situation of affairs is fast increasing in Philadelphia. The former advocates of the suicidal course of the state, in legalizing suspension in order to borrow money, that the question of taxation may be postponed, are becoming alarmed at the result of the measure. The abso lute ruin which is so nearly before the state, has caused a graat alteration in the tone even of the bank organs. If the credit of the state is lost, the expanded hanks lose almost their last chance of recovery, and they are becoming anxious that some regular means of meeting the interest should he authorised by the state, in order to restore confidence in her stock both at home and abroad. A New Orleans paper, in allusion to recent remarks of ours on the currency of that city, has the following : Mr. Bennett says, "that the depreciation of the southern currency goes on increasing, which is a consequence of the expansion of those banks under the irredeemable policy." This is news to us here. Has there been any expansion in this city ? We ask the thousand industrious merchants, who are now in court, if there has been any such thing ? No, no. The screw has been forced down and not upwards. These remarks show a great want of acquaintance with the movements of the New Orleans banks and trade. New Orleans is the great centre of southern trade, and is the chief market for cotton. The movements of her banks, therefore, have great influence on every other point. Since the sus pension, the banks have published their returns monthly. A careful observance of the figures thus put forth, connected Standard 01/ice, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Trits DAY. We continue to receive altogether very scanty suppli es from Ireland, and those in coastwise since Tuesday last con sist of little more than a few parcels of Wheat and Beans, with a fair quantity of Malt ; while, chiefly from the Conti nental ports of Europe, the arrivals contain 9,629 quarters of Wheat, with nearly 12,000 barrels Flour from the Ameri can States ; whence seven or eight more vessels are up to day, partly with Flour, the particulars of which. are not yet ascertained. YV Although a few weeks of dry weather would now be very acceptable to secure the crop of Hay, which is universally heavy, yet, with fertilising showers and sun alternately, all kinds of produce upon the ground continue to improve daily in this district • as unquestionably, however, a considerable portion of the stock of GlTain and Flour, remaining here, will be requisite to satisfy a wide circle of demand until harvest, the trade hitherto has not been seriously depressed by the prospect of an abundant season. Thus our market this morning was well attented by town and country millers, and in most descriptions of Wheat, but principally in fresh sam ples of foreign red, a fair extent of business was transacted, at an advance of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. upon the current rates of this day se'nnight. American Flour, the only kind apparently saleable to-day, realized 355. to 365. duty paid, 245. 6cl. to 255. per barrel in bond, and of the latter there were few importers disposed to sell, about 8000 barrels having changed hands since Tuesday last. ___ Foreign grinding Barley continued to meet a tolerable demand on the full terms last noted. Malt dull of sale, and Beans in limited request, at a decline in the value of of each of ls. to 2s. per qur. In Peas no variation. DESCRIPTION. IRE- COAST- FO- ! UNITED TOTAL LAND. WISE. REIGN.

At the same time the specie in the hands of the banks has steadily increased. The following is a table of the currency or circulation and deposite and its increase each month, with the premium on specie in each month : _ Currency. Increase.

A large proportion of the increase of specie in the banks came from Mexico. On the 13th inst. 88,746 dolls. arrived from Tampico. Here we have not speculation, but figures sworn to by the bank officers, which show an increase of 50 per cent. in the currency of New Orleans since the suspen sion of the banks, Immediately after the suspension, and during the panic incident upon that measure, specie rose to 8 a 9 per cent. prem., and then gradually fell to 3 a 4 per cent. about the Ist March. This was the natural result of the great shipment of crops. The banks in New Orleans previous to the Ist of January, 1839, were preparing to resume. The contraction incident upon that measure was healthy, and the movements of pro duce brought the balance in their favour in February and March. This encouraged purchases at the north ; at this season the premium was nominal, although a good southern business was done at the north ; what different views do the rates for the year present, althouth the exports from New Orleans have been about the same in value this year as last. In this we and that the quantities exported have been much superior to those of last year, while the value has been much the same. The increased quantities have augmented the freight 100 per cent. over last year.

Com merce was dull. The arrival of a conducta with about 1,200,C0) dollars in specie, had created some stir in the port. Only 80,000 dollars of this money was sent to the United States—the residue is shipped for England. The arrival of another conducta was hourly expected, bringing specie, a part of which was destined for this country. The British brig of war Serpent was to leave immediately for Jamaica, with 400,000 dollars in specie. An English packet left the day previous for Havana, with 700,000 dollars in specie. STATE OF TRADE. The vessels which arrive from Europe bring very light freights for the season. The demand for goods from the in terior appears to have ceased, and the markets are conse quently becoming more inactive. In Flour the demand for the eastern markets has rather exceeded the receipts, not withstanding that the canal navigation is uninterrupted. This has caused an increased firmness on the part of holders ; common Western Flour is held at 4 dols. 87} cents, at which sales to a small extent have been made on French account. Ohio is held at 4 dols. 62} cents. COTTON.—There has been a fair business doing in Cotton through the week, and prices have closed at about the rate current after the arrival of the British Queen. The southern markets generally appear to have improved. The accounts by the Great Western reached New Orleans on the 13th, but the effect of her news was not visible in the markets.

The steamer William French has arrived at Louisville and Cincinnati, having passed Natchez early on the morning after the dreadful catastrophe. We make the following ex tracts from the Louisville Journal and Cincinnati Chronicle, which furnish some mournful particulars of the disaster. (From the Cincinnati Chronicle) . . A tornado began at Natchez, on Thursday the 7th instant, at two.p.m., and passed over the city, apparently from a south-east direction, and destroyed about two-thirds of all the buildings in the city : amongst them were every building under the bill, except Mr. Cotton's grocery, (a small build ing which was partially injured) ; the beautiful grove of trees around the Court-house is wholly prostrated and the Court house itself partially destroyed—all the banks except the Commercial—every hotel except the Mansion-house, which was partly blown down. The Planters' and Parker's hotels were completely obliterated, and nothing left but a pile of bricks. The tine grove of trees, and the handsome building adjoining the Planters' Hotel, were all destroyed. The long row of China trees that lined the brow of the hill, and made so beautiful an appearance from the river, were all destroyed ; also the Light-house, erected by the U. S. government some twenty years since ; the cotton press ; both steam saw mills ; the steeple of the Second Presbyterian Church, and a part of the building itself was also destroyed. The Railroad Depot was blown down, and nine dead bodies had been taken from the ruins. On the river, in front of the city, the effects of the tornado were equally awful. The steamboat Hinds was blown into the river and sunk, and all the crew Lnd passengers except four men were lost ; the number of passengers on board was not known. The captain was said to be on shore at the time, but had not been seen. The destruction of property, of course, is immense, and no estimate can yet be formed of its amount ; and we regret to add that the number of lives lost is also very great. The William French passed Natchez only twelve hours after, and at that time the citizens were entirely engaged in taking out the dead bodies from the ruins. Seven ladies had already been taken from the ruins of the Steamboat Hotel. The loss on board the flat boats must have been awful, as it is rea sonable to presume that at least two persons were on each boat, which would make the number lost in this manner up wards of two hundred. The estimates on the spot, by the citizens of Natchez, varied from three to seven hundred. (From the Louieville Journal.) It is said there were 50 persons buried in one of the hotels. Seven were taken dead from the railroad depot, and seven dead and one injured from the hotel under the hill. Rumour says, that in all, 200 persons have been taken dead from the ruins. Of course many not killed were more or less injured. It is stated, that the family of Mr. H. P. Postlethwaite was preserved in the following singular manner :—one of the children became frantic or alarmed, and ran into the cellar — the other members of the family followed, and just as they all reached the cellar the house was blown off. The family of Mr. Watt, of the firm of Burke, Watt and Co., were ac cidentally led to leave the dinner table and go out in the yard, and instantly the room they bad left was blown down. It is stated that many persons were blown from the streets into the river. How far the ravages of this storm extended we did not learn. Some say that it was not felt in its greatest violence anywhere but in and near Natchez ; but that is hardly pro bable. At Napoleon, Arkansas, 24 hours after the storm at Natchez, a house was blown down, anti a flat boat sunk with five men. A gentleman informs us, that he saw the ravages of a recent tornado above Vicksburgh, and conjectures that it was the same storm. At five o'clock, on the day following, there was a violent hail storm in Louisville, which passed through Frankfort. An intelligent passenger in the French informs us that parts of nearly all the plantations on the Mississippi were overflowed, and the river had not reached its highest point. On the Red River, we learn, thousands of acres of planted cotton were under water. The Sheridan brought the following passengers :—Mrs., Miss, and Mr. H. W. Moncure, Richmond, Virginia ; Mr., Miss, Miss C., Mr. A., and Mr. W. Van Rensselaer, Mrs. De Peyster and two children, Mr. W. B. and Mr. A. C. Binniger, Mr. S. J. Spence, Mr. S. L. Mirage, Mr. L. C.

VII. (Written for the Liverpool Standard.) EXCURSION UP THE MERSEY.-WESTON POINT.-RUNCORN. HALTON CASTLE.-ROCE: SAVAGE, &C. One of the most delightful trips that can be enjoyed by water, from the town of Liverpool, Is that to Runcorn and its vicinity ; to the eye of the spectator, embracing the upper, but widest portion of the estuary of the Mersey, the shores that bound it, and the Welsh, Cheshire, and other hills that fill up the back ground. This fact appears to be appreciated by many of the inhabitants, as well as by strangers , numbers of whom resort thither during the summer, for health or recreation, or prefer it, if on business, as a route by river or canal, to Manchester, Warrington, Northwich, and other towns in the neighbourhood. The conveyances are by steam packets of considerable size, and having good deck and cabin accommodations, at a moderate rate of fare, for two classes of passengers, who may purchase refreshment on board. These vessels sail on the voyage up the river about an hour before high water at Liverpool, and return with the down coming tide, there being several banks and shallows in the line of navigation. Those who wish to return on the same day must avail themselves of those days on which the tide serves at an early hour in the morning, otherwise the packets do not return on the same night, and there are no regular direct conveyances by land. The present and the two fol lowing months are consequently to be preferred for this ex cursion, from the long duration of daylight. Having a leisure day, I hastened to George's Pier the other morning, and embarked in the Tower, a steamer belonging to the Old Quay Company. The early part of the morning had been fine, but the clouds began to assume a rather threatening aspect, portentous of rain. About seven o'clock, the cry of " Now for Runcorn !—Now for Runcorn and Manchester !" became more frequent, and in a few minutes afterwards the vessel proceeded on her way up the river with considerable speed. The deck was crowded with passen gers from end to end, including travellers on business, others on recreation, country people, and not a few of the higher circles of society, o'f both sexes. We passed in the stream along the line of docks, the river gradually widening as we proceeded, and presenting an ever-changing variety of scene. Vessels and boats were sailing and steaming up and down in every direction, and the shores of Cheshire, on which shadows and sunshine alternately fell, presented, after the rain of the previous night, unusual freshness and luxuriance of verdure. The quarantine hulks, and the cheerful lookir ' s houses of the Rock Ferry, were conspicuous on the left. On the right the southern docks, full of vessels, the shipbuilding yards, and lofty buildings of the town, and the roar that arose from them, gave indication of the busy traffic that was going on. We passed the wide entrance of the Coburg or trans atlantic steam-ship dock, the stonework of which is of large hewn blocks of gray granite, so sloped as to present addi tional resistance to the action of the sea. Here was seen, floating high over the quay, the immense hull of the new ship " President," the largest steam-vessel in the world. The packet called for a short time at the Brunswick pier, to receive a few , passengers from the south end of the town, and again proceeded on her course to the south. The Her culaneum potteries, and the Mersey forge adjoining, were soon passed, the latter pouring forth flames from its conical chimneys. Beyond these commence the woods of the Dingle point, and further on, the fine shores of Aigburth, thick with villas surrounded by trees and shrubs, and enclosed fields in the most brilliant hues of summer verdure, forming one of the richest stretches of campaign landscape in the country. Some of the mansions overlook the shore ; others are more enclosed, and not a few peep from the range of wooded hills that rise on the east. Here near the shore are two handsome churches. The opposite shore of Cheshire is of equal inte rest. Above the Rock Ferry, the whole shore, bounding the great basin of the Mersey on the west, is also thickly wooded ; and Eastham and Ellesmere, with their white erections are seen on the water's edge. Hooton Park, the seat of Sir Thomas Stanley, Bart., an elevated ground, and Eastham village with its antique spire, a little to the westward, also form fine objects in the landscape ; and behind, stretching many miles from north to south, rise the Welsh mountains, giving magnitude and extent to the picture. Beyond Elles mere the shore turns to the eastward, forming the southern boundary of the estuary as seen from this direction, and there, on wooded land near the shore, backed by the Che shire hills, including the isolated height on which are the ruins of the once celebrated Beeston Castle, and the Helsby hills on the west of the valley of Weaver, stands Ince Hall, the residence of E. Yates, Esq. After passing the village of Garston, on the Lancashire side, celebrated for its salt-works, the shore on the east becomes, if possible, more rurally in teresting—much of it being covered by the deep and lofty woods of Speke Hall, a very ancient seat, where there are many interesting remains of antiquity, and a variety of paint ing and statuary. Higher up stand Hale Hall and Hale vil lage, the ancient tower of the church being almost hid by trees. Here the shore is agreeably diversified by projecting points and indentures forming little bays. lisle Hall belongs to the Blackburn family, and is stated in tradition to have been celebrated for the great stature of some of its inhabitants. One of these, a John Middleton, was called " the Child of Hale," and tradition ascribes to him many extraordinary feats of strength and-prowess. His height, it is said, was nine feet three innlics, and it is added that he was propor tionately formed, the palm of his hand being eight inches broad. He was born in 1578, and died at Hale in 1628. From this part of the sail, the Mersey is seen at its fullest extent. Its embouchure being concealed by intervening land, it forms an apparent lake, extending from north to south about fifteen miles, and, at its widest portion, six to seven miles from east to west. Studded with vessels of various descriptions, and surrounded, as it were, by shores at once rich and picturesque, the scene cannot fail, both from its extent and variety, deeply to interest the contemplative voy ager. The river higher up, and before reaching Runcorn, sweeps towards, or rather runs from, the north-eastward. The course of the steam-boat is considerably nearer to the Lancashire than the Cheshire shore, until reaching near her destination. We passed a number of vessels bound to Run corn—two brigs and two schooners of considerable burthen towed by one steamers and upwards of that number of flats towed by another at a fair speed. A great number of flats, barges, &c., were also making their way up, at a slower rate, under sail. The passenger will notice several salt works close to the shore. The last, in a bight, is called the Dun chAsidpe b point side. in e t e i o s m formed by the land at Hale Hall, and the narrows between it an d W es t on P o i n t, sou th war d, on the o rg ienvo river each opposite e s Asm more ee and shoresmore o re picturesque approximate, vari ed : The site of Runcorn is marked by two very tall soapery acid o chimneys, ve rt o a n n d h i a windmill. hills sbecome Co The nspic d u a o r u k s w , b o e o y d o s n o d f t t h h e e ri fi ch els a l n e d y c e o x r t enn andsi ve W m e a s r t s o h n e s h i b l be s l w w Ft with o b ds ui h l d a i m n g ; s o s e n a t t t l e i e r e e d a s u t p r o i n s e t h ß e u n n i ' and opposite to them, on the La ncas hi re s id e, i s seen Ditton marsh, and the seat called Ditton Lodge. There had been some rain while the boat was on her way, and while the clouds still cast their shadows upon the hills, the sun glistened through them on parts of the campaign country below, mak ing the fields of a vivid and beautiful green. After a delightful sail of about an hour and three quarters, the boat called to land some of the passengers at WESTON POINT. Here commences th e Weaver Navigation Ca nal , which rises for a considerable distance nearly p arallel w ith and close to a stone sea-wall , recentl y constructed, on the top of which is a pier or cop affo rdin g an elevated grassy walk. I here landed, having a wish to visit some of the extensive quarries for which the place is celebrated. The canal, which here runs in a south-easterly direction towards the mouth of the Weaver, commences with a long basin or dock, having locks, for the reception of the numerous flats in their transit by this line of navigation. The sea-wall, which slopes in a curve, or inverted arc, towards the river, is upwards of a mile in length, and is substituted for an old ill-constructed wear wall, which it was found impossible to maintain, and of which some shattered remains may yet be seen. Other new erec tions for commercial convenience are also in progress, includ ing a dock for flats from Northwich and Winsford. There are several neat houses, waehouseg, Scci, at Weston Point. Crossing the canal by one of the dock-gate bridges, the visi tor will reach by a little lane a neat inn, surrounded by trees and shrubberies, called " The Weaver Arms," kept by Mrs. Barns. He may hence proceed southward, towards Wes ton, passing several of the stone quarries. A green lane between trees and hedges will lead him to some houses on Weston hill, near a small chapel. From almost any part of this hill the views are highly beautiful and extensive. The whole of the estuary of the Mersey northward is spread before the spectator•, like a huge lake or inland sea, bounded by the wooded shores already named. Westward arc the now abrupt and strongly defined Helsby and Overton hills, with dark forests of pines near their tops. Under them on the east side, and on a site, about two miles distant, surrounded by rich enclosed fields, stands the town of Frodsham, the houses and ancient church distinctly visible. Below these, on the right, lie Frodsham marshes, presenting a sea of verdure. Here, I was informed, a thousand head of cattle find ample pasturage. The Weaver and the canal are between the spec tator and Fiodsham, in a fine rich bottom of meadows and corn fields. The river is tortuous, and the canal; which again runs into it higher up, cuts off some of the curves in the navigation. The general aspect of the whole country is, indeed, truly delightful ; and the view is rendered more and more extensive by every additional step in the assent of the hill. The Overton hills bound the celebrated Forest of De lamere. I had a note of introduction to a gentleman (Mr. Sampson) connected with one of the large quarries, and found him at the works. He afforded me all the information in his power ; but the rain which continued to fall heavily, marred the pros pect. The greater part of the land in Weston is owned by three parties, namely, Miss Orred, of Elms Cottage, Wm. Banks, Esq. and Philip Whitehead, Esq. There are several large farmers, three of whom, Mr. Banks, Mr. Fletcher, and Mr. Ford, make each about two cheeses daily of 40 to 501bs. weight. .The pasture land in this quarter is very rich and well suited for the purposes of the dairy. In other respects Weston is chiefly noted for its tine stone, vast quantities of which, in huge blocks, have for many years been sent to Li verpool and other places, for the erection of docks, and pub lic and private buildings. It is of a lightish red . colour, and of excellent durable quality. The quarry at which I found my friend is known as one of the Weston Point quarries. It is worked by Jno. Tonikinson, Esq., and is situated on the ris ing ground facing the mouth of the 'Weaver. From 100 to 150 men are here employed in the various branches of the work, and there is a railway to Weston Point, for the convey ance of the article when squared.. The top stratum of the rock is from 40 to 45 feet in depth : there is then a bed of rubble of four to five yards deep : under it there is another stratum of rock from 30 to 40 t'cet in thickness, and of fine durable quality. The depth of this quarry is amazing. The men working at the bottom appear much reduced in size, and the huge ledges and masses of rock, some of them spanned at a fear ful height by temporary bridges of planks, together with the sound of hammers, picks. and voices ascending from the, ca vities below, render the whole a scene at once novel and inte resting. There is another large quarry below, and some others to the eastward. A short distance to the westward lies the hamlet of WESTON, A straggling place, with a large open space or common in the centre, in which arc the remains of an old cross. There are several very antique houses, barns , &c., of stone, and also of frame and brick - work. The village ap pears to be founded on rock. Near one end there is a fine antique farm-house, in the old English style, with a garden in front, and a large holly tree clipped in a fantastic manner. From this village I passed on by a lane, and afterwards a field footroad, to ROCK SAVAGE. Here a splendid mansion was erected in 1565, by Sir John Savage, from whom it was named. The original building was called Clifton Hall, from the township in which it stood. His Majesty King James I. was here sumptuously entertained, after hunting in Halton Park. It afterwards fell into the possession of the Barrymore fiimily, and finally into the bands of the Marquis of Chohnondeley. It is delightfully situated, amongst woods and lawns, overlooking the waters of the Weaver, and the rich marshes that surround the eminence on which it stands. It is described as having been in 1640 a splendid mansion, in a most delectable spot ; but very little of it now remains to gratify the researches of the antiquary. A portion of the ruins, about 40 feet in height, and about twenty broad at the base, with an ash tree growing close up to it and some feet over it, rises abruptly at the north-east corner of what appears to have been the site of the structure, and is probably a part of one of the sides. in front, too, there is an ancient buttressed stone wall, with a gateway in the centre, enclosing a square space, now apparently a gar den, which was probably occupied by the building and its courts. There are also dilapidated walls and arches, at dif ferent points ; and a sort of well, covered with boards, was she s•n to me, said to lead to a culvert or vault, under some dilapidated remains, running along the top of a field. On the west very handsome detached offices of stone, forming three sides of a quadrangle, were built by the Barrymore fa mily, in a modern style, and these are still in good paeserva tion. There is also a large antique farm-house, said to have been built out of part of the ruins. This house and the farm are tenanted by Mr. Richard Jenion, who, it is said, occu pies from eleven to twelve hundred acres, and milks from 80 to 100 cows. At a short distance, and on the opposite side of a deep hollow or ravine, there is another tine farm house, with a garden and orchard in front, in which there is a remarkable circular arbour, clipped, with a conical top. The valley of the Weaver, which blends harmoniously with the rising ground on each side is exceedingly beautiful from the eminences near this point. There is a road from Rock Savage to Runcorn, by way of Halton village, but it is cir cuitous, and as I purposed to visit Halton Tower at the close of my excursion, I preferred that passing through HIGHER RUNCORN. Before reaching this place the visiter may enjoy a panoramic and extensive peep from Runcorn Hill. From this point, it is said, parts of seven counties may be seen in clear weather. 'I he whole estuary of the Mersey is stretched before him to tto N.W. On a ledge of rock on this hill there is a Latin inscription, much defaced, by John Free, A.M., Vicar of Runcorn in 1740, in praise of the spot. He likens it to Tibur, in Italy, and says, " Here, when being wearied in the pur suit of knowledge, and worn out by the duties of my office, I would desire a habitation in the time of old age." At Higher Runcorn there are some neat houses, including that of Miss Orred and the Vicarage. A pleasant footwalk leads from the lane a little below to the Duke's Canal, which, being crossed by a bridge, the visiter enters SAILED.—Wm.

The origin of the name is involved in some obscurity, and I shall not pause to unravel it. It was founded by Elfreda, a daughter of King Alfred, a princess of remarkably masculine mind, who founded or rebuilt many other towns. The general increase of commerce, and particularly the formation of the several canals that terminate at it, and the still more recent construction of docks, has tended to its rapid advance ment, and it now probably contains from 7000 to 8000 in habitants. In a very neat work, entitled " The Visiter's Guide to Runcorn and its Vicinity, by the Rev. G. Fowler," and which contains much valuable information, it is stated— " Within the last ten years (he writes in 1834) it has risen more rapidly than at any former period. During that time a great number of houses have been built, so that on the spot where formerly cattle were accustomed to graze, may now be seen a row of neat-looking cottages, or a line of more ele vated and extended buildings. Several handsome erections ace alsho been raised, which serve as ornaments to the town, and as such would not disgrace any of our principal cities." After noticing the general improvements in accommodation, he adds, that every article of necessity and comfort ►nay be procured in the town. The climate is mild for the latitude, and Dr. Perceval considered it so salubrious that he called it " the Montpelier of England." There are two immense soap manufactories, the chimneys of which are so high that they form conspicuous objects in the landscape for many miles. These are circular, gently tapering, and built of a bright co loured brick. One of them is 102 and the other 92 yards in height. The river is narrowed, opposite the west end of the town, by a point on the Lancashire side, and a projecting rock on the opposite shore. This strait is called Runcorn Gap, and the rock, still called " The Castle Rock," is that on which the dauntless Elfreda built the Castle of Runcorn, to command the entrance to the river. There are walks along the shore, shipbuilding yards, &c., and the opposite strand is picturesque. The parish church is very ancient. It stand on a high bank near the river, and though the trees that once surrounded it have been nearly all removed, and the houses are creeping out towards it, it is still a venerable object. There are a number of fine mural tablets and monuments with inscrip tions in the interior, and in the church yard the inscriptions on the grave stones, chiefly in verse, are so numerous, that they occupy the whole of a printed pamphlet, which is sold for a small sum. There are also several chapels. The two docks, at the termination of the Duke of Bridge water's canal, and which were opened in 1828, have proved highly beneficial to the port. In one of them I counted ten sloops, fifteen schooners, and two brigs, besides a number of vessels in the river ready to enter with the first tide. On the quays are piled thousands of tons of bars of cast iron, yards full of slates, Welsh limestone, hills of clay in large square pieces from Devonshire, also immense heaps of flint of a very large size, china-stone from Chalsdon, sparkling like granite. The clay, &c., is for the supply of the Stattbrd shire potteries, and immense quantities of the crude material are taken up the canal, and brought back in earthenware for home use or exportation. Here there are vessels of up wards of 200 tons. I saw one which had brought a cargo of 260 tons. Close by these is an immense warehouse of nine stories in height. The office of the Old Quay Company is a large mansion of brick and stone. The locks are exceedingly interesting, and there is a walk along either side of them. There are ten falls (or lifts) of 10 feet each, and consequently 10 pairs of gates. These locks are filled and emptied by side culverts in the stone-work, not by slides in the gates, so that the water is admitted and ex cluded in a shorter time, and with greater safety, than by the old plan. This is what is called the losing end of the canal. In other words, there is a small loss of water by every vessel that goes up. The canal, however, is fed at the various parts of its entrance from the Staffordshire canal, the Rochdale, and the Wigan, each vessel bringing with her, as it were, a sufficiency of water to make up for any loss that might arise. Adjoining the locks are basins, or einbaynients, where ves sels may lie without interrupting the navigation. This canal runs upon one level for about thirty miles. There is a fine stone bridge across it just aboVe the locks, where for the ac commodation of the vessels it widens out considerably. There are some handsome public and private buildings in Runcorn. The town-hall is a neat stone structure, with a portico of lonic fluted columns, surmounted by a pediment with a clock in the centre, on which stands an ornamental little circular temple or belfry. After having partaken of some refreshment, I took my way towards Halton Tower, by a pleasant road, running some distance along the canal. The tower-hill and ruins are amongst the most interesting objects in this part of the king dom, and afford delightful and most extensive views ; but I must embody some account of them in another, and, I trust, a more interesting sketch. PENNY POSTAGE.—A lady of Yeovil last week received a letter from a friend in London, containing twenty-seven gooseberry bushes, (the whole of which she has had planted,) and all for one penny. " I am exceedingly anxious, my dear," said a very prim lady to her husband, that you should never be out after ten o'clock." "Yes, my love," replied mon expose, "because that is the time at which you generally commence your cur tain lecture."— Globe. A SOLDIER IN THE PULPIT.—On Sunday afternoon last, private Mills, belonging to the Barton troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, preached a sermon in his military uniform from the pulpit of the Wesleyan Methodist chapel at Lincoln.— Boston Herald. The editor of the New Othans Times says, the corsets worn by the ladies of that city will bear a monstrous strain, judging from a lady he saw in the street, who was so nearly cut in two, that a man would be considered amenable for bigamy should he marry her. - - - - Too BAD !—ln a village church, a few Sundays back, the clergyman having published the banns of marriage, was very aptly followed by the clerk reading the hymn, commencing, " Mistaken souls, who dream of heaven. A funeral has not taken place in this town (Barnstaple), from the 25th of April to the 26th of May ; this, in a popula tion of 8,000, is an extraordinary circumstance, and speaks volumes of the salubrity of the season. CAUTION.—By the new Prison Discipline Act, 2 and 3 Victoria, cap. 56, persons endeavouring to introduce any for bidden articles into a prison, are liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds, nor less than forty shillings, or in de fault of payment one month's imprisonment. The river Thames has become the most important highway in this kingdom, and perhaps in Europe. Capital to the amount of five millions sterling is employed in steam naviga tion, and 150 steam vessels of all descriptions are constantly employed ou the river. Aqattitts. . LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Je NE 13. The arrivals of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, since this day se'nnight, have been light, and those of Foreigla produce have been on a much less liberal scale than for many 1 a - evious weeks. Duties have been paid upon 9,21 S quarters of Wheal, 4,000 qrs. of Barley, 450 qrs. of Peas, and 5,970 barrels of Flour. A fall of is 6d per quarter has reduced the rates of duty on 0 . tts , Beans and Peas to 6s 3d, as 6d, and Os 6d per quarter respect vely. The im post on Barley is 4d, an:advancc of is 6d per gu . tarter, and that of Wheat is unaltered. At Tuesday's market a ta] a• business was done in free Foreign Wheat, at a decline of 2d to. 3d per bushel from the prices of last week. The subsequent transactions have been to a larger amount, principally effected yesterd ay. when, with a little speculative inquiry, we experienced a good, steady demand for this grain, for consumption, at the full rates oi"ruesday : the lower qualities, in fact, which had been previously sold relatively low, brought rather higher prices. American duty- paid Flour has met a free vend, and superior brands are now held for a little ad. vance. Several thousand barrels have changed h. ands, in bond; during the week, at 24s ad to 24s 6d per brl. ; and, latterly, there have been few sellers at the highest of these quotatic ais. Oats have been little inquired for, but are held at late rates. No change in the value of Oatmeal. Barley has sold on fully as good terms. Beans and Peas have met little inquiry, and must be noted rather cheaper. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL M ARKET , , RINE 12. There has been a good demand for all descriptions of Sugar, and 1100 hhds BP. have been disposed of at full prices. 3600 bags Mauritius have also been sold, chiefly at 72s to 75s for good grocery qualities. No transactions to report in Bengal.—Foreign Sugar. A public sale took place, on Thursday, of a cargo of Pernambuco Sugar, chiefly damp and sea-damaged, at which 140 cases, 33 boxes and 800 brls were sold at 20s to 22s lid for uhites, and 55s lid to Igs 3d for browns; but, being sold with all faults, these prices can not be deemed any criterion of the market; by private, 150 cases and 750 brls and bags were taken by the IteEners at '2ls to 215 6d front the quay.—Bonded Refined. Several sales of Crushed and Loaves have been made at the quotations.—The sales of Molasses this week consist of 100 casks Antigua at 40s, and 50 Trinidad at 37s per cwt. from the quay.—Coffee. There has been a good de mand for Plantation, and the sales are extensive, consisting of 320 casks of Jamaica, chiefly at auction; the ordinary qualities sold rather heavily, at about former rates, whilst the finer sorts, being in most request, brought an advance of 2s to 3s per cwt.; good middling realized silos to 122 s tid, fine middling 130 s 6d to 138 s, fine of favourite marks, 14110 to 143 s per cwt.!

There has been a considerable business done in Dyewoods, the sales reported being 620 tons Campeachy Logwood at 49 12s lid to ..tv 19s, 15 tons Honduras at .47 12s lid, 50 tons Jamaica 47 2s 6d to -47 5s ; 15 tons Cuba Fustic at 49 to 410, 200 tons Savanilla 44 17s 6d to .45'55, 40 tons Maracaibo at 44 ss, and a few tons Nicaragua Wood at £l2.—The sales of Turpentine amount to 1750 brls. at 138 ld to 13s 2d for good quality, and at Ils Id for inferior. —Nothing repotted iu Tar.—Although there is but little demand for Pot Ashes, prices rather advance; 24s 6d has been given, and for some few small parcels 25s has been obtained. Pearl Ashes go off slowly, at 32s per cwt.—Hides. Salted Monte Video continue in demand, at fair prices, and 9540 have been sold at Sid to ad per lb ; 920 dry salted Ceara are also reported at lid to 64d per lb.—About 130 tons Dividivi brought, at auction, -416 17s 6d to 417 15s per ton.—Tobacco.

The market has presented little interest or change during the week. The demand from the trade has been tolerably steady, and a fair extent of businese done fur exportation, as well as on specu lation; in some instances the buyers have had rather the advan tage, particularly in the low descriptions of American, but not so much as to alter last week's quotations. Brazil is again rather lower, and East India remains heavy of sale at previous rates. There have been taken by exporters 1,.00 American. IN Surat, and 510 Bengal, and on speculation 4800 American.
