Vortrp, THE FEMALE CONVICT. TO HER INFANT. (For t h e Liverpool Standard.) Oh! sleep not my babe, for the morn of to-morrow • Shall soothe me to slumber more tranquil than thine ; The dark grave shall save me from shame and from sorrow, Though the deeds and the gloom of the guilty are mine. Not long shall the arm of affliction enfold thee, Not long shalt thou hang on thy mother's fond breast; And who with the eye of delight shall behold thee, And watch thee and guard thee when I am at rest. And yet it dues grieve toe, to make thee, my dearest, The pangs of illy desolate mother to see ; Thou wilt weep when the clanks of my cold chain thou hearest, And none but the guilty should mourn over thee. And yet I must wake thee, for while thou art weeping, To calm thee I stifle my tears for awhile ; But thou smilest in thy dream, while thus placidly sleeping, And oh! how it wounds me to gaze on thy smile. Alas! my sweet babe, with what pride had I pressed thee To the bosom that now throbs with sorrow and shame, If the pure tie of virtuous affection had blessed thee, And hailed thee the heir of thy father's high name ; But now with remorse that avails not I mourn thee, Forsaken and friendless, as soon thou wilt he, In a world if it cannot betray thee will scorn thee, Avenging the guilt of thy mother on thee ; And when the dark thought shall awaken The deep blush of shame on thy innocent cheek, When by all butihe God of the orphan forsaken A house and a father in vain thou shalt seek, I know that the base world will seek to deceive thee With falsehood like that which thy mother beguiled, Yet, lost and degraded, to whom can I leave thee — Oh ! God of the fatherless, pity my child. Liverpool, Oct. 18-10. H. M. HANSBROW. LITBRARY NOTICE. Mental Culture. By a Student of University College, Lou. don. London : Ward & Co.; Liverpool : Webb, Castle. In a cheap unpretending form are here given a series of " Hints on the Best and Shortest Way of Cultivating the Mind," addressed to you►:g men engaged in commercial pur suits. These " hints" have a strong recommendation from a well-known metropolitan preacher, who says they are wor thy of an extensive circulation, and hopes they may gain ac cess to thousands of the counting-houses of our merchants. We cordially concur with the rev. gentleman, notwithstand ing that there are many works of the same nature, the present is a most judicious word in season, which those for whose benefit it is intended cannot read without improvement. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. PRESENT STATE OF EUROPE. (From the Morning Herald.) The dark and lowering state of the political atmo. sphere throughout the whole of Europe, throws an ominous gloom over the close of twenty-five years of general peace. We had " a settlement of Europe," as it was called, in 1815—a settlement which was to ensure a perma nent tranquillity, since which Europe, though not in a state of actual war, has never kown the repose and confidence of perfect peace. Tory administrations governed England for fifteen years, during which no return of general war desolated Europe; but, nevertheless , the great powers of the Continent did not disarm. Then came the whigs to " settle" matters more, effectually upon " wiser and better principles"—the whigs who were to give the best possible government on the cheapest possible terms to the people at home, while they maintained a real peace abroad, and showed how the greatest modern empire of the world could be ruled in accordance with those maxims of policy which emanate from a spirit of equity, moderation, and wisdom, and which give the greatest stability to power, by basing it on the widest extent of popular affections. The whigs have now been ten years reforming and improving England, and securing, according to their own enlightened notions, the peace of Europe. Well, how have they succeeded ? It would, perhaps, be dif ficult to find any period in our whole history, since the foundation of the British monarchy, when popular mis-ry and discontent more abounded—when doctrines subversive of order, religion, and morals, were more widely disseminated,—and when authority had less of the respect and veneration of the mass of the people, than in this the tenth year of Whig REFORM, cheap go vernment, and enlightened improvement. As to our foreign relations, their condition is, if pos sible, still more unsatisfactory and threatening than our internal condition. The Whig rulers of the nation, not content with having absurdly and disgracefully assisted to embroil the west of Europe, by taking part in the revolutionary struggles of the Spanish peninsula, have gone at length to the deserts of Syria to find " a bone of contention" for a war in Europe I It has been long apparent to the most ordinary saga city in political matters, that the Ottoman empire has sunk into a state of decrepitude and decay, from which no combinations of external powers can ever recover it. An empire which has once filled a high place in the history of the world, may be struck down by the sword of conquest in some disastrous hour, but it may again be able to rise from its humiliation, shake off its chains, and regain its former position. Not so when the decry is not the immediate consequence of external dis aster or accident, but the slowly progressive result of internal debility and wasting corruption. Turkey labours under that decline, which is incurable because self-inflicted. Russia knows this well, though our Melbournes and Palmerstons seem to be profoundly ignorant of the fact, or, at least, act as if they were. Russia knows that there is as much chance of the " independence" of the Ottoman empire being restored, and its " integrity" preserved, by placing " the Syrian desert between Mehemet Ali and the Sultan," as of giving life to a dead man by an imitation of the re• vitalising process of Medea and her kettle—the boffin' many pieces into one. The Turkish empire is gone. The corpse, indeed, of that once giant power may be galvanised and con vulsed by the experiments of the state physicians, who prescribed blood-letting in Syria for the repose of Constantinople. But the whole question now to be solved is, whether Syria shall be ruled by Mehemet Ali, no friend to Russia—or by Muscovite influence in the name of the Sulton. It is to determine this question that all Europe is agitated. and disturbed from end to end, and threatened with the calamities of a general war. NAVAL ARMAMENTS OF ENGLAND. (From the Times.) England, with such prospects of a naval war as have been hanging over her for two or three years, has not added to her admirable crops of marines so much as a single company ! The marines, a force which cannot be discipiined in a moment, ought to have a force in reserve applicable to all sudden emergencies, and ca pable of supplying ships afloat or ships ordered for commission, as well as coast garrisons at home and in the colonies, until the establishment of troops of the line could he recruited to the amount required by a state of war. The marines are the most convertible of all our forces, the most adapted to a variety of uses, the handiest and most generally effective. They con stitute something between a fourth and fifth of the en tire crew of a man of war. Ashore they perform the services of the best disciplined troops—afloat, when their firelocks are stowed away in the racks, they do a large portion of the work of seamen. The marines of Great Britain ought never to be kept at a lower esta blishment than 16,000 men ; of which force one-half should be kept as garrisons of the seven great depots, magazines, dockyards, and naval stations—to wit, Deptford, 'Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Ports mouth, Plymouth, and Pembroke. When the service afloat requires more than 1000 men, the total establish ment ought to he reinforced in proportion ; but never reduced below the level of that amount for the home duty of the kingdom. There would then at all times be a reserve of marines applicable to any exigency. But, as we said before, not a single marine has been added to the establishment throughout the whole of this most critical European disturbance, arising out of the Turkish and 'Egyptian war, although we have been informed by, naval officers that all the marines in time kingdom pit together fall short of 2000 men—not more than the complement of nine or ten three-deck ers. But for the seamen, what addition has been made to them ? The press and the naval profession taken together, by dint of strenuous and fearless exposures of the miserable sleepy Admiralty, forced Lord Minto and his colleagues into a display of something like ex ertion, though lagging far behind the rapid progress of the public wants. After twelve months of a sort of superficial bustle, they have scraped together an ill-manned squadron, the Vanguard and Rodney included, of 14 sail of the line, by this time in the Mediterranean, and, we believe, (we hope, at least,) within immediate reach of the gallant veteran Sir R. Stopford. Of that squadron four are small and feeble ships of 72 guns, with crews very lit ' tle, if anything, more numerous than the first class French frigates of 60 guns, that is to say, with no more than 540 hands on board-53 boys included-- and therefore short by almost 160 hands of the com plement allotted to the very lowest class of French line of battle ships—viz., those carrying 80 guns, and which crews have no boys among them. This sort of armament, both in men and material, is what must pass for a sample of the British navy under an administration at once jobbing and screwing, which pincnes every department of the public service, because it dares not ask for money from a House of Commons which reserves its liberality for the uses of partisan corruption. IMPORTANCE OF THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN PROVINCES. (From the Morning Herald.) The importance of our South Australian colonies is becoming daily more known, From an obscure coun try, chosen by the government b ut a f ew years s i nce, as the place of exile for offenders against the laws of the mother state, they are grown into immense political importance, and only require judicious fostering to be come the most powerful auxiliaries Great Britain can have. Only a short time has elapsed, when this coun try was the place to which the returns for our own ma nufactures were sent from the Eastern , Archip e l ago , but the population of New South IN ales, Van Diem en ' s Land, and the parts adjacent, has so much i ncreased as to render it far more profitable to forward the produce there than to send it home, To this the advantage de- rived by the mother country from imports of its own colonial produce must be added. Of late, in addition to more than sufficient wool for our own consumption, enough has been left to export ; the valuable fishery must also be taken into account, and the more valuable, from the decline which has taken place in the produce of the north. _ _ Port Phillip bids fair soon to become the emporium Of that quarter of the world, more especially when New Zealand has been brought into full operation as a pro ducing country, and it is therefore to be hoped that greater encouragement will be given, and fewer impe diments thrown in the way of colonising these new places, than has been the case with the old ones. The papers are full of complaints of the inattention of the Government to the wants and wishes of the inhabitants, more particularly in checking the immigration of re spectable labourers. The commercial accounts state that the stoppage of the trade with China was beginning to he felt, and that all the produce of that country, tea especially, was rapidly rising in price. Corn, coming more freely into the market, had not only caused a de cline, but had removed much of the apprehension that had existed of a continued scarcity. British goods in general were in good demand. OPEN QUESTIONS. (From the Newcastle Journal.) A sharp controversy has been for some time pass carried on between some of our metropolitan contem poraries regarding the efficacy and morality of "open questions," as well as their probable influence on the present rickety cabinet. Although reluctant to inter fere where the weight of argument so largely prepon derates on the side taken by the conservative journals, we are nevertheless anxious to express our opinions on both branches of the subject. We will commence by the bold, but confident assertion, that the resort to the system of " open questions" by former administrations has been the prelude to their dissolution. It evidenced the disunion that prevailed amongst their members, and invariably led to their downfall. We defy contra diction on this point. Making the " Catholic Ques tion," as it was then termed, an open one, broke up various administrations, and was the real, though not the immediate, cause of the break-up of the Welling ton cabinet in 1830. So far, therefore, as we may rely upon, and augur from experience, the conclusion is in evitable that the attempt to " patch up" differences, or film over chasms and chinks in cabinets by the adop tion of "open questions," has ever egregiously failed, and tended only to hasten the consummation of that event which it was intended to prevent. So far they have been efficacious ; but as means for enabling strug gling and feeble cabinets to bear up against the effect of disunion from within, and defeats from without, they have proved utterly powerless, as such temporary shifts ever do. The day of reckoning and of retribu tion cannot be staved off by such paltry expedients. Is not the " Ballot Question" a pregnant instance of this truth ? The pressing exigences of the cabinet, com bined with the growing estrangement from it of a few dozen radical members, no sooner forced upon the whigs the necessity of raising it to the dignity and importance of an open question, than it effected the detachment from the ministry of Lord Howick and Mr. Wood, which largely contributed to the subse quent disasters, and ignominious defeats sustained by the ministry. Thus the direct result of the first experiment was unequivocally of an unpropitious character, and we have but very little doubt, if the trial be repeated, that it will in future be attended with equally disastrous consequences. The adoption of open queEtions is analogous to the admission of the point of the wedge; instead of stopping up the gaping chink it widens and enlarges it, and ultimately succeeds in wrenching asunder even the firmest and most compact body. And now as to its morality. We some weeks ago denounced in terms of unqualified condemnation the principle of " political coalitions," and pointed out the hollowness and treachery of their basis, as well as the apostacy and dishonesty of those public men whose infatuation would make them parties to such a com bination. Now, " open questions" are, to the members of a cabinet, precisely what " coalitions" would be to those whoiyould form them—a mutual abandonment of principle and compromise of opinions on subjects which may vitally concern the honor and the interests of the na tion. No man can be justified in sacrificing his, conscien tious convictions on the altar of a base and truckling expediency. These convictions may be abstractedly erroneous, but while entertaining them he is bound by his obligations to truth and honesty to adhere to and act upon them. Any deviation from them is downright dihonesty, and involves a breach of moral law, and a violation of political virtue, irretrievably disgraceful to a public man. Actions should be guided and determi ned by convictions, and he who is ready to act without or against them is a political knave at heart, and un worthy of support or confidence. A cabinet composed of such persons, is, it is unnecessary to add, totally unfit for the direction or management of public affairs, as being devoid of principle and consistency. Open questions are signs of disunion and emblems of dis honesty. What I—ls Lord John Russell looking, as he professes to do, upon the introduction of vote by ballot as fatal to constitutional liberty, warranted in uniting with Mr. Macauley, who seems to view it as the perfection of political wisdom, and the only thing still wanted to crown the worth of Reform ? Is Lord Melbourne, who designates the opponents of the corn laws madmen, justified in sitting in the same council with these same madmen, and by that means enabling them to work out their " mad" and wicked scheme ? Assuredly not ; were the mischief affected he would be held a particeps cr iminis—and accessary before the fact—and be liable to be punished accordingly. These " open questions" indicate weakness and hypocrisy alike ; and the minister who resorts to them on every trying emergency betrays the duty he owes to his sovereign and his country. STEAM VESELS OF THE UNITED STATES. Sea-going steamers are not numerous in America, the chief of them being those which ply between New York and Providence, and between New York and Charleston. These vessels, however, do not resemble the sea-going steamers of Europe as closely as might be expected ; and to those who are accustomed to the latter, the sea-going steamers of America can hardly be regarded as safe means of transport. The cabins of these sea boats are of great magnitude, -and afford excellent accommodation for passengers, contain ing generally four hundred berths. In the Massachusetts, the chief cabin is 160 feet long, 22 feet wide, and 12 feet in height—its vast extent being uninterrupted by pillars or any other obstruction. " I have dined," says Mr. Steven son, " with :75 persons in this cabin ; and, notwithstanding this numerous assembly, the tables, which were arranged in two parallel rows, extending from one end of the cabin to the other, were far from being fully occupied : the attend ance was good, and everything was conducted with perfect regularity and order. There are 112 fixed berths ranged round this cabin, and one hundred temporary berths can be erected in the middle of the floor •, besides these, there are sixty fixed berths in the ladies' cabin, and several temporary sleeping places can be erected in it also. The cabin of the Massachusetts is by no means the largest in the United States ; some steamers have cabins upwards of 175 feet in length. Those large saloons are lighted by Argand lamps suspended from the ceiling • and their appearance, when brilliantly lighted up and filled with company, is very re markable. The passengers generally arrange themsel v e s in parties at the numerous small tables into which the large tables are converted after dinner, and engage in different amusements. The scene resembles much more the coffee room of some great hotel than the cabin of a floating vessel." Nothing has excited more surprise among engineers, and others interested in steam-navigation in Europe, than the statements which have been so generally and so confidently made of the speed attained by American steamers. This astonishment is due to several causes, the chief of which is the omission of all notice of the great difference between the structure and operation of, and the navigation in which European steamers are employed : as well might the per formance of a Thames wherry, or one of the flying boats on the northern canals, be compared with that of the Great Western or the 'British Queen. The statements alluded to all have reference to steamers navigating the Hudson be tween New York and Albany, the form and structure of which we have already described ; and doubtless the greatest speed ever attained on the surface of water has been exhi biteo in the passages of these vessels. The steamers on the Mississippi, which are decidedly in ferior to those nhich navigate the eastern waters, are gene rally of a heavy build, fitted to carry goods as well as passengers, and vary from 100 to 700 tons burthen. Their draught of water is also greater than that of the eastern steamers—varying from six to eight feet. The hull, at about five feet from the water-line, is covered with a deck under which is the hold, in which the heavy part of the cargo is stowed. About the middle of this deck the engines are placed ; the boilers and furnaces occupying a space nearer to the bow, near which two chimneys are placed. The fire-doors of the furnaces are presented towards the bow, and exposed so as to iucrease the draught. That part of the first deck which extends from the machinery to the stern is the place allotted to the crew and the deck-pas sengers, and is described as being filthy and inconvenient in the extreme. A second deck is constructed, which ex tends from the chimneys near the how to the stern of the vessel—on this is formed the great cabin or saloon, which extends to within about thirty feet of the stern, where it is divided by a partition from the ladies' cabin, which occupies the remaining space. These principal cabins are surrounded by a gallery about three feet in width, from which, at con venient places, an ascent is supplied by stairs to the highest deck, called the hurricane or promenade deck. The engines by which these boats are propelled are_to tally different from the machinery already described as used in the eastern steamers. They are invariably non-condens ing engines, worked by steam of extremely high-pressure ; the boilers are, therefore, tubular, and the cylinders small in diameter, but generally having a long stroke. The pressure of steam used in these machines is such as never used in European engines, even when worked on rail ways. A pressure of 1001 b. per inch is here considered extremely moderate. The captain of one of these boats, plying between Pittsburg and St. Louis ' told Mr. Steven son, that, " under ordina r y circumstances, his safety-valves were loaded with a press ure equal to 13811 i. per square inch ; but that the steam was occasionally raised as high as 1501bs. to enable the vessel Pass part s o f t h e r i ver i n w hi c h th er e is a strong current; "to and, he added, by way of consolation, that " this piessure was never exceeded except on extra ordinary occasions ' ! The demensions and power of the Mississippi steamers may be collected from those of the St. Louis, a boat which was plying on that river in 1837. That vessel measured 250 feet on deck, and had 28 feet breadth of beam ; her draught of water was eight feet, and her measured capacity 1000 tons; she was propelled by two engines with 30-inch cylinders, and ten-feet stroke; her safety-valve being loaded at 100 lb. per square inch. The typhus fever is raging to a great extent in Wakefield, also at Holmfirth. COLLISION BETWEEN TWO STEAM-BOAT ON THE HAVRE STATION. We regret to have to announce, that between nine and ten o'clock on Sunday night, off Dungeness, the Phoenix steamer, going to, and the Britannia steamer, coming from, Havre, came into collision, when the Phoenix, being heavily laden, unfortunately went down. We have the satisfaction, how ever, to add, that by the promptitude and exertions of the captain and seamen of the Britannia, all the passengers and crew of the Phoenix were saved. We understand the Britan nia has received considerable damage. The Britannia, commanded by Captain Stranack, is a large and powerful steam-ship, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company. The Phoenix, commanded by Captain Lefort, a Frenchman, is the property of a French company, and was manned by a crew of Englishmen and foreigners. Both vessels traded regularly between Havre and London. The Britannia left Havre for London at seven o'clock on Saturday evening, and the Phoenix got under weigh from the Tower-stairs soon after nine o'clock on Sunday morning. The two vessels met at sea, nearly off Dungeness point, about 8 o'clock on Sunday night. The Britannia was keeping-her course, and she saw the Phoenix approa thing and alter her helm. The Britipnia at the same time altered her helm for the purpose of going clear of the Phoenix, which. however, still kept coming down upon the Britannia. As soon as the Britannia saw that there was no possibility of avoiding the Phoenix, the engines were stopped, and the order given to back astern, but before the latter operation could be effected, the collision took place, the Britannia striking the Phoenix just before the paddle-box on the starboard side, the weakest point of a steam-vessel, and cut her down to the water's edge. The Phoenix immediately began to fill, and the boats of both vessels were lowered, and saved the whole of passengers and crew of the Phoenix, fiho were taken on board the Britannia, where they were treated with exery kindness, and brought to London. The Phoenix went down in 35 fa thom water, bofore the boats reached the Britannia, and is irrecoverably lost. Among the cargo were 250 casks of tallow, 15 tons of block tin, bale goods, and other property, worth at least £15,000, which is now buried in the ocean. The following account is furnished by the captain of the Phoenix : _ . "The Phoenix left London at a quarter past 9 with a cargo of tallow and other goods. About a quarter past 8, Dungeness light bearing by the compass distant about three miles, our course was ordered south-west, and our speed might be 84 or 9 knots an hour, fine weather, the sea smooth, but the horizon a little hazy. Near the point of Dungeness we saw several lights of fishing boats, and we steered in a nice man ner to avoid them. A few minutes after 9 p.m., we per ceived the light of a vessel on the starboard bow, that is to say, to the windward of us. Orders were given to keep her away immediately, so as to give her as wide a berth as pos sible, and I personally repeated the order to continue to keep away, not wishing to pass a vessel too close in the night. " We soon made her out to be a steam-vessel on her lar board tack ; but instead of luffing by keeping her to port, which would have kept her off, she appeared to'bear away, when we were doing the same. We hailed her several times to luff, and we continued to bear away to leeward, but do not know whether they tried to do so, and almost imme diately the stem of the said vessel struck us abreast the fore hatchway, about three feet before the main beam on the star board side. Our head at this time bore S. or S. by E. The shock was terrible ; the side of the Phoenix was demolished, and the Britannia, for we found that was her, came alongside of us with her larboard side damaged. The paddle-box and the paddle-box wheel of our larboard side were knocked away. In a few moments afterwards the Britannia succeeded in getting clear of us. " Without confusion, and with the utmost zeal, the crew immediately took to the pumps, and tried to stop the hole in the side ; but all their efforts were unavailing. Some minutes after we had been struck, there was three feet water in the engine-room ; the pumps worked, but the water gained upon us very sensibly. It became necessary to lower our boats, when, together with the Britannia, we succeeded in trans porting all our passengers on board that vessel. In the last boat I embarked the remainder of the crew, who, up to the last moment conducted themselves with an intelligence, zeal, and obedience, worthy of the highest praise. " A few moments before quitting the vessel I assured my self that no person remained in the cabins. I was the last person to embark in the boat ; the forepart of the Phoenix was already immersed up to the foremast. I scarcely had reached the Britannia when the Phcenix sank, and nothing appeared on the surface of the water. At that time we were not more than ten fathoms off. Neither the passengers nor the crew could save their things, or any part of the cargo. About twenty minutes past nine p.m. the Britannia struck us, and at a quarter to ten the Phoenix sank. We were all received in the Britannia, which also sustained some damage, nevertheless she continued her voyage to London, and ar rived on Monday, the 26th of October, at three quarters past twelve o'clock." The passengers of the Phoenix were forty in number, and they spoke in high terms of the attention paid them on board the Britannia after the Phoenix went down. RUMOURED MURDER NEAR HEYWOOD. The body of a man which proved to be that of Mr. William Ogden, a part proprietor of a stone-delf, at the Healds, about two miles from Bacup, was found in the river Irwell, a little way above Mr. Parkinson's factory, at Heywood bridge, on Saturday last. A great deal of excitement was created in the neighbourhood by the event, because the body presented appearances which could not fail to lead to a sup position that the unfortunate man had come to his death by violent means. In the first place the deceased was without coat ; his breeches were drawn down over his shoes, the left hand pocket being turned inside out ; and not a farthing of money was found about him. His head presented a really awful appearance, being cut and gashed in a manner fright ful to behold ; and there were on some other parts of the body bruises which will be found more particularly detailed in our report of the inquest. Tha simple facts of the case appear to be these. Ogden left home on Friday forenoon, taking with him it is supposed two £5 notes, three sovereigns and some silver. He had to pay a highway rate, amounting to a few shillings, but it was not known that he had occasion to part with any more mo ney, except for his personal expenses. In the afternoon he was at Bacup, where he collected several sums of money, due to him in respect of his trade ; for instance, he received £6 Bd. fyom Mr. James Pickup, grocer of that place, ss. 6d. from Mr. Ashworth, printer, and £9 14s. from J. Earnshaw, Esq. On the whole it is presumed he had upwards of £3O in his possession on Friday night. During the afternoon va rious parties were in his company at the public-houses in Bacup, and about ten o'clock at night be went into the house of a relation of his wife in that place, named Betty Lord, being at that time slightly, but only slightly, intoxicated. He remained about an hour, and then left the house to go home, after which time there is no evidence of his having been seen again, till his dead body was found in the state described near Heywood Bridge, at least six miles from the place where he was last seen. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Found in the river Irwell."—Blackburn Standard. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. — Notwithstanding the conti nued uncertainty in the foreign relations of the country, and the consequent pressure upon the money-market, there was a better feeling in our market yesterday than at any time dur ing the preceding week, and considerably more business was done, but without any improvement in prices, either of yarn or goods, with the exception of very good 27-inch printing cloth, which was in good demand, in consequence of the ar rival, by the Great Western, of some orders from America. We are glad to learn, that the accounts from all quarters of the United States, that business there is steadily and pro gressively improving, and that a fair amount of orders for manufactured goods may be shortly expected from thence. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY. — To-day we have not had so brisk a demand for flannels, and the market has worn a more sombre appearance. In prices there is no change. Wool remains firm at last week's prices, but not much doing. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—This was a comparatively dull market in all descriptions of stock, an unfavourable reaction having taken place, doubtless arising from the state of the money market, and the unsettled political aspect of Europe. Business in the warehouses begins to slacken, and the pros pect for winter is more gloomy. The demand was chiefly for heavy woollens. Prices, however, remain much the same. —Manchester Guardian. NAVAL FORCES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. A letter from Toulon, dated the 15th, states that the French government is about to reinforce its squadron in the Levant by four sail of the line—the Ocean, Marengo, Trident, and Genereux ; four frigates, and three corvettes : thus increas ing it to fifteen sail of the line, four frigates, six corvettes, and two steam men of war. The French squadron of re serve will comprise within a month nineteen ships—namely, the Souverain, Ville de Marseille, inflexible, Friedland, Je mappes, six frigates, six corvettes, and two war steamers. The naval forces of the respective powers in the Mediter ranean will then stand thus : France.—Twenty sail of the line, ten frigates, and ninety smaller vessels, including steamers. England.—Sixteen sail of the line, four frigates, and twenty smaller vessels. _ Russia.—Ten sail of the line, and eleven frigates, corvettes, and brigs. Austria.—Two sail of the line and five smaller vessels. Egypt.—Seventeen sail of the line, and forty smaller yes sels. Turkey.—Three sail of the line, and ten frigates, cor• vettes, &e. _ _ . Sardinia.—Four frigates, corvettes, and brigs. United States.— One sail of the line, one figate, and one corvette.—Correspondent of the Courier. • MEDICAL. PUPILS. — The number of medical pupils in the metropolis is less this year than for several seasons past. They have been decreasing for some years, and this is not so much owing to the increase of authorised medical schools in the provinces, as to a less number of young men being brought up to the profession, from the great competition which at present exists. Decrease of population and mortality in London within the walls has been very great since the beginning of the last cen tury. It was then about 140,000, as proved by deductions from the parish registers; and the annual mortality was one to twenty of that population. In the year 1750 the popula tion had decreased to 87,000, and, fortunately for the health of the citizens, space continues to become more and more va luable for counting-houses and warehouses than for human habitatio ns ; so that the population within the city walls be came 78,000 in the year 1801, and is now diminished to 55,778, the rate of mortality being now less than 1 to 40. . - ALARMING FIRE Al BURY.—On Monday evening, about five o'clock, a fire broke out in one of the willow rooms of Messrs. Samuel Greg and Co.'s works, at Hudcar, near Bury, occasioned by th e f r i ct i on of one of the machines ; and the progress of the flames was so rapid, that five men and a boy were very severely burnt, before they could make their escape, the room being almost instantaneously enveloped in flames. The fire spread rapidly to the mixing room, in which there was a quantity of loose c o tt on , which, as well as the cotton in bales, took fire, and burnt with great fury. At this time the fire wore a very alarming appearance ; but, owing to the timely arrival of four engines, with good management, and the active exertions of every person who could render any assistance, the flames were arrested, without making any fur progress, and without material injury to the machinery. The damage done by the burning of cotton, and the destruction of windows, &c. will be about £3OO, which is fully covered by insurance. THE MURDER OF MR. G. BLACKBURN, AT BARNSLEY.— The adjourned inquest in this case, after a lengthened and labourious investigation, closed, finding John Mitchell, stone mason, and William Fox, collier, guilty of the murder of George Blackburn ; and George Robinson and John Cherry, both linen-bleachers, guilty of being accessories to the mur der, all of whom have been committed to take their trial at the next York assizes. This event has produced a most powerful sensation in this neighbourhood, the deceased hav ing been murdered at seven in the evening, W i t hi n th i rty yards of his own house, during which period the servant maid was washing barrels at the door. It is expected that two other persons also were accomplices. It is one of the most desperate and daring murders that has ever been committed in this neighbourhood, being but a very short distance of the Bank-top (Barnsley) barracks, and the screams of the servant who witnessed the murder were within the hearing of the sentinel on duty. The men committed are part of a des perate gang, whose depredations in highway robbery and hour. breaking have often brought them before the magistrates. DESCRIPTION. IRE- COAST- UNITED NO - LAND.

Just as our second edition was going to press the steam ship Caledonia, from Boston and Halifax, with her Majesty's mails, was coming up the river. We shall give the news in a third edition. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—THIS DAY. The duty on foreign Wheat is raised to 235. Sd., on Oats to 10s. 9d., on Beans to 3s. 6d. per quarter, on Flour to 14s. 2id. per barrel, and on colonial Oats to 2s. per quarter; remaining in all other respects the same as last week. Since our advice of the 27th instant, the arrivals into this port include a moderate quantity of Wheat, Oats, and Oat meal, from Ireland ; but of other produce thence, or of any article coastwise, the supplies continue small ; and those from ab•oad, during the same period, comprise merely 1900 quarters of Wheat from Europe, with 9374 barrels of Canadian Flour : the latter, being admissible at 3s. per bar rel, will of course be entered for consumption ; but of Wheat and Flour, not colonial, the present high rate of duty has ceased to be paid. INFrom the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, the Corn trade here generally assumed a tolerably firm appearance; and although no extensive transactions occurred, Wheat ex hibited a tendency rather to improve in value, and other leading articles fully maintained our last quotations. Having an unusually small attendance of either town or country buyers at our Corn Exchange to. day, the trade became generally rather inanimate, and foreign Wheat of all descriptions met a very limited demand on the terms last noted ; for farmers' Wheat, however, a slight advance was required, but although few samples of such appeared, no improvement was obtainable ; and, with the exception of one parcel of prime Irish new Red, which brougkt 9s. per 701b5., all other kinds remained stationary in -value. Irish and free foreign Flour continued to rule nearly the same as described on Tuesday ; but States Flour in bond having re. coded to 21s. to 245. Ga. per barrel, a few purchases have taken place for export. The late arrivals of good English Malting Barley having been mostly disposed of, prices of such, as well as the ge neral runs of Irish and foreign, remained unvaried.—Malt, upon a different sale, was the turn cheaper.—ln Beans we have no change to note. In the absence of any extensive country dealers this morn ing, Oats and Oatmeal were taken off much less freely than in the early part of the week, on the terms then stated.

Calcutta, (84) sailed this day for Malta, with troops. Wind N. strong breeze. PENZANCE, Oct. 27.—The Alliance, from Fowey to Liverpool, has had her leak stopped, and will proceed the first opportunity. PLYMOUTH, Oct, B.—The Caledonia, 120. has been commissioned this week, by Captain Men, as a guar d s hip, a t this port, in lieu of the Impregnable, 104, fitting for sea under command of Captain Forest. The Portland, 50, and Endymion, 38, are being got ready for commissioning. Seamen are coming in very freely FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY. According to a letter from Rome, of the Ist instant, the treaty for the definitive fixation of the frontiers between Naples and the Roman dominions had been signed by Cardi nal Bernetti. _ One of the first mercantile houses of Stockholm, that of Morting, has just failed. The debts are said to amount to £120,000 more than the assets. Several houses in Ham burgh are creditors for considerable sums.—Galignani. FIRE AT THE DOCKYARD IN TOULON.—A letter from Toulon, of the 15th inst., states that an alarm was spread the previous evening that a fire had broken out in the naval arsenal at that port. About ten o'clock the report was first given, and the alarm gun fired, which filled the whole city with consternation. A large body of troops mustered with out arms in the Champ de Mars, to be ready to act as re required. In less than ten minutes more than 4,000 persons had assembled before the gates of the arsenal ready to lend their assistance, but fortunately their services were not re quired, as the men employed on the establishment were able to extinguish the flames before they gained any head. The damage done was very trifling, but at a moment like the pre sent, the greatest alarm was at first felt. The fire was solely the result of accident. ANOTHER ASSASSINATION IN THE STREETS OF PARIS. — On Monday evening, at half-past ten, a porter, named Ri berty, was returning home quietly along the Boulevard Mont martre, in front of the Th ea t re d es V ar ietC s , w hen a man, who had followed him for a few moments, threw himself upon him, and buried a poniard in his stomach. Riberty fell, ut tering a fearful cry ; and the assassin, without attempting to fly, walked under the peristyle of the theatre, exclaiming,— " Arrest me, lam the assassin !" A medical man, who hap pened to be passing, assisted the wounded man, who was conveyed to the bureau of police, and thence to the Hospital of La Chariti:. The wound was found to be excessively dan gerous, and scarcely any hopes are entertained of his recovery. The assassin declared that the act . was one of vengeance, committed through love and jealousy. The National, in its Madrid correspondence, states that the junta have discovered, among other papers of the crown, a document which proves that a secret marriage between the queen regent and M. Munoz had actually taken place, as also that several children had been the fruit of it. This document is said to show, that the persons who were witnesses to the ceremony were M. Alagon, M. Gonzales, the queen's con fessor, Messrs. Gravoria and Ronchi, some relations of M. Munoz, and a femme-de-chambre named Antonia. GREAT MATCH OF AN ARAD HORSE TO PERFORM 400 MILES IN FIVE DAYS.—The above extraordinary match took place on the 27th of July last, at the station of Banga lore, under the Madras presidency. It is reckoned one of the greatest feats in horsemanship that has ever been per formed. The animal was the property of Captain Horne, of the Madras artillery, who backed him to do the task for a wager of 5,000 rupees (£5OO sterling). The odds at starting were 3to 1, and afterwards 4 to 1, against the rider. The horse won in grand style. On reaching the winning-post, Captain Horne's troop of horse artillery (natives and Euro peans), took him off his horse : and, placing him in a chair, decorated with flowers, they carried him to the tent, amidst triumphant cheering. Captain Horne came in perfectly fresh, and on the second day he was out visiting around the station , on a pony, after riding 91 miles during the preceding night. BRUSSELS, OCT. 22.—We have just learned an important piece of intelligence, the authenticity of which we can answer for. On Tuesday last, a treaty was concluded at Antwerp by the members of the Dutch and Belgian commission, for the regulation of the pilotage in the Scheldt, in execution of the treaty of the 19th of April, 1839. The treaty consists of about 80 articles. It is said that Belgium may congratulate itself on the manner in which the negociations have been conducted, and the result to which they have led. The treaty has now to be laid before the two governments for their rati fication.—Observateur. A letter dated Vienna, the 7th instant, published in the Journal de Frankfort, announces that the treaty relating to the navigation of the Danube had been actually concluded between the Russian and Austrian governments. It is sti pulated in the treaty, that the navigation of the river shall be free for all nations. Russia, however, reserves the power of establishing sanatory measures for any vessels which may touch at her ports. She will levy a tax of one colonat (Spa nish piaster) on each vessel, to defray the expenses required for clearing the mouth of the river at Sulina. THE RUSSIAN FLEET.—The Brussels Independent con tains the following letter from Copenhagen, 12th instant : " It is certain that the Emperor Nicholas has caused to be refitted a portion of the Baltic fleet, viz., nine ships of the line, six frigates, and four or five smaller vessels. The new est and fastest-sailing vessels have been selected, and, as they are in different anchorages, orders have been given for their joining, when ready, a squadron of three ships of the line, and the same number of frigates, which are ready for sea in the roads of Revel. They are all to be ready by the 15th of this month, and are to be commanded by Admiral Plater. It is said they are to take on board ammunition for two years, and provisions for six months." blppfiig intelltgenrr. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 29. There is very little animation in our Butter trade, and prices are the turn cheaper. Pickled Butter sells in moderate quantity, at gss. The prices of Beef are beginning to tumble, and a serious reduction is anticipated. The cure this season will be very large. We have no demand either for this article or Pork, beyond that by retail for ship stores. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, OCTOBER 28. There was a very fair, though not what can be called a large shew of beasts and sheep to-day. The prices for both beef and mutton of the best quality were each a little in favour of the buyer, but gill we cannot alter our quotations from last week. Some quantity of cattle and sheep were left unsold, hut they were chiefly of the middling and inferior descriptions. Best beef 6d, to Sid ; 53d to 6d. Best mutton, 6jd to id; middling, 6d to 6icl per lb. sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCTOBER 27. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott ,- Sons.) Since Tuesday last the imports of New Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Wheat and Flour from foreigc ports, and from Canada, have been to a considerable extent—the Foreign Grain is chiefly going into bond; there has been a fair demand for every article in the Corn trade during the past week, at fully the prices last quoted, and in some instances for fine qualities of Bannat and Odessa Wheat an advance of 2d to 3d per 701 b was obtained ; super fine sweet Flour, fine new Oats and Oatmeal have also a little exceeded last quotations here and in Manchester. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has increased since Friday last to 22s 8d per qr, on Flour 13s lid per brl, on Oats to ys 3d per qr, and decreased on Barley, Indian Corn and Buck Wheat to 7s 10d per qr; on other• Grain no alteration ; the prices of bonded Flour and Wheat in bond are almost nominal.
