Vottp. N- O HEAR THAT A PERS HAD BOASTED OF NEV ING ER HAVING FELT A ON DAY'S GRIEF. (For the Liverpool Standard.) Though Falsehood be an inmate of thy heart, For once thou bast forgot the liar's art Art did I call it ? Such it well may be To others, but 'tis natural to thee ; And only in those moments rare, when Truth Wonders to find an echo in thy mouth, Art aids thy labour, and, with effort high, Enables thee to curb the native lie : The native lie back to thy bosom's core Returns, and, leaguing with a thousand more, Too potent for restraint, they utterance gain, And Falsehood re-asserts her abject reign. E'en veriest facts, heard from such lips as thine, Seem but the dross of Fiction's foulest mine ; So lamely dost thou dare the unwonted task — Such large credulity thy speeches ask ! Yes, I can well believe that thou couldst view, With eyes unmoistened by the tender dew Of Nature, scenes that all the tears should claim Of those who bear a husband's, father's name. A widower twice, the funerals of thy mates Pained not thy gaze ; nor could the ruthless fates, Which gave thy firstborn to an early,tomb, Make tbee acquainted with the mourner's gloom ; And thou couldst witness, with a calm as base, The same dark portal close o'er all thy race, — Conscious that scarce a mockery of woe Can seem to mourn when thou art couched below : Not he, the touch of whose heaven-gifted wand Could fountains from the desert rock command, — Not Israel's chief owned such high potency, To work a weeping miracle in thee! Thus, with foul boast, it still is thine to say Thy life had past without one troubled day ; Thus bath thy folly, with unmeasured stride, Somewhat outgone the vileness it could hide, And blabbed self-satire, that each tongue confirms, More amply keen, though couched in such brief terms, Than if all they who scorn thee had combin'd To paint at fullest length thy murky mind. But as the surgeon's knife inflicts no pain "Where gangrene is, so shalt thou still retain Thy loathsome quiet ; armed in proof, secure In mental rottenness, thou mayst endure The edge of truth, and thus mankind convince That all their justice cannot make thee wince. Then hither turn, 0 rare and signal wretch! Gaze on the hideous outlines of this sketch, And, wondering at the mitigated traits, Half thank the painter for his neutral praise, While I rejoice that it transcends my art To shadow forth thy Pharasaic heart. Who shall achieve what weakly I've essay'd— Bronze all the lights, and blacken every shade ; Unmask each semblance of humanity, Till all the pictur'd horror teems with thee ? Here let some demon Raphael now display His sombre talent, for such only may Feel with congenial mind what they pourtray, And stamp an image, true in every line, Not unto human nature, but to thine. Everton, March, 1840. N. M. A. LI7'ERARY NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. March. This is a truly brilliant number. The continuation of " Ten Thousand a Year" more than justifies our previous commendations of this exquisite picture of life. It abounds with passages of the most affecting character. The author, whoever he is, is destined to occupy a prominent position among the best writers of the age. He has left Dickens and a host of imitators at an immeasurable distance behind him. " The Plagiarisms of S. T. Coleridge" is an article which must have startled the literary public. The charge is abun dantly proved. Where, after this exposure, shall we look fol. originality ? The " Ode on the Marriage of the Queen of England" is worthy of the subject. We cannot pronounce a higher encomium on any composition. The review of " Leigh Hunt's Legend of Florence" is conceived in a ge nerous spirit, and ably executed. " The Nameless Man" is a capital tale, worthy of a niche in Blackwood, which is praise enough to satisfy any ordinary mortal. " Literature in the Jungles" displays a rich vein of poetry and philosophy combined. The account of " Jerusalem," with its copious statistical details respecting the Jews, will be found highly interesting. " War with China, and the Opium Question," is well worth a careful perusal. The " Vote of Confidence in Ministers" is a slashing political article, of which Croker himself need not be ashamed. Fraser's Mag azine. March. This number opens with 'an excellent essay upon " Elo quence." The illustrative extracts are extremely appropriate, and are taken from Maillard, Menot, Latimer, Amyot, Montaigne, Balzac, Bossuet, Thucydides, Milton, Jeremy Taylor, Hooker, Chrysostom, the respective styles of which authors are very happily contrasted. We are not sorry that "My Irish Tutorship" has been brought to a close. Its specimens of Irish wit are very poor and pointless. In the " Hints for Biographers" we are furnished with many very interesting, and not a few original anecdotes of departed worthies. " Chess without the Chess-board" is a cleverly written article, from the pen of one who is evidently a master of that incomparable game. The initials we take to be those of Walker himself. " Modern Egypt" contains much im portant information, conveyed in a pleasing style. The " Epistles to the Literati" are highly amusing. One of the best articles in this number is that headed " Scenes in the Desert." It is fraught with romantic incident. We per fectly agree .vith the views propounded in " The Opium Question and the Suspended Trade with China." The author has deeply studied his subject, and handled it with ability. Dublin University Magazine. March. We gladly hail the re-appearance of the inimitable Harry Lorrequer, who has contributed to the present nnmber the commencement of his " Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dra goon." We promise ourselves a rich treat from this fresh series of sketches of life. Harry has fairly outdone himself. The account of " The Church of Ireland" is highly valuable, and embodies much interesting information. Much as we admire the fidelity of Lord Plunket's portrait, we cannot conceive how such a fulsome piece of adulation as the accom panying memoir could have found its way into the pages of this truly conservative magazine. The review of " Bulwer's Dramatic Poetry" is just and discriminating, as all criticisms ought to be. The article on " Roman Catholic Devotions" is as ludicrously amusing as it is humiliating to human na ture. " A Legend of Ulster in 1641" is an excellent tale, displaying graphic powers of the highest description. The poetical contributions in this number are generally far above mediocrity. The " Curiosities of Law Books " contains much original information. The paper on " Dr. Cooke, the Synod of Ulster, and the National Board" is temperately Written, but scarcely strong enough. The continuation of Dean Swift's life is full of interest. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine. March. Tait's Magazine does not come to hand as we could wish. We have missed the two preceding numbers this year. The number before us is rich in excellent matter. We must ex clude from this general commendation the " Epithalatnium on the Marriage of Queen Victoria," by Ebenezer Elliott. The author is corn-law mad. He cannot write on any sub ject whatever without introducing his stale declamations against the aristocracy. It cannot be expected that we should agree with the sentiments avowed in the article on " The Church of Scotland and the Veto Question." It is, never theless, cleverly written. The review of " The Sons of the Soil," by Mrs. Ellis, is a touching and pathetic article, though not unmingled with sarcasms against " the Tory landlords." The " Merchant Prince of Dieppe" is a capital tale. The " Autobiography of An English Opium Eater" is as interesting as ever. His descriptions of " Life among the Lakes" are inimitable, excepting by Christopher North him self. The " Memoirs of Jeremy Bentham" are scarcely worth reading. The " Recollections of Days in Belgium" furnish much useful information. The tale of "Violet Ha milton" will be read with avidity. The Asiatic Journal. March. The critical posture of Eastern affairs readers this excel lent periodical of the highest value to every British subject. Its monthly summary of news, its copious correspondence, its reports, its republication of important despatches respect iil.l3 the operations and movements of the British troops in India, and on its frontiers, cannot fail to afford the highest satisfaction to the statesman and the politician. The literary articles in the number before us also possess considerable at tractions to the scholar as well as to the general reader. The translation of the " Hymn to Siva," apart from the idola trous nature of the subject, is an admirable specimen of oriental poetry. The account of " The Life and Services of Lord Harris" embodies much information of great value. The " Notes of a Journey through France and Egypt to Bombay" are written in an agreeable and gossiping style. The paper on the " Administration of Justice ire Penang, Singapore, and Malacca," is entitled to the gravest consi deration. The " Analyses of Eastern Works," and the miscellaneous articles in the Asiatic Journal considerably enhance its value. The Colonial Magazine and Commercial Maritime Journai March. This number is fully equal in interest to its predecessors. The article on the " Social Effect of Colonies on England" is remarkable for its sound views and political sagacity. We shall take an early opportunity for transferring it to our columns. The paper on " The Condition of " Upper Canada" embraces a vast fund of information respecting one of the most important Colonies which Great Britain pos sesses. The history of " The French Colonies" is emi nently attractive. Great diligence must have been bestowed upon the collection and arrangement of the statistical details with which it abounds. We cannot agree with the remarks on " Emigration from Africa to the British West Indies." We think that the author has suffered his judgment to be over-ruled by his prejudices. There is much sound wisdom in the remarks on the " Constitution of the Government of New South Wales." The " Past and Present State of the British Navy" is an excellent article, elaborate in its details and correct in its conclusions. The miscellaneous matter in the Colonial Magazine is highly important. The Churchman. March, 1840. London :W. E. Painter 342, Strand. This number contains several articles of great interest. The remarks on " Attacks on the Clergy" are very seasorm ble and appropriate. The commencement of an essay on the mystery of "The Trinity" displays great ability and logical acumen. The account of the " Succession of the Arch- bishops of Canterbury" is a highly valuable document. We have been highly gratified with the remarks on "The Bless ings of the Church." They are calculated to inspire a strong feeling of attachment towards the Church of England. The observations on " Socialism" are judicious and well-timed. " The Pope at Work in England" ought to act as a warning to lukewarm Protestants. The remaining articles in The Churchman arc excellent, and well worth a careful perusal. 7'hc Village Churchman. March, 1840. Loudon : W. E. Painter We cordially recommend this truly orthodox, useful, and interesting miscellany to the support of every Churchman. The present number contains some very affecting details re specting the " Protestant Exiles of the Valley of the Ziller ;" a well-written tract on " Confirmation ;" some curious anec dotes respecting " Church Bells ;" and several other articles adapted for popular perusal, and designed more especially for the edification of the humbler classes. The Church Magazine. February, 1840. London : Hay- ward and Moore, 53, Paternoster-row. Prefixed to the number before us is an exquisitely-engraved portrait of the Rev. Henry Melville, the talented minister of Camden Chapel, Camberwell, together with an accompanying biographical sketch. The remarks on " Zeal and Activity in the Cause of God" are calculated to effect much good. The article on " Lay Baptism, and the Burial Service," is, to say the least, harsh and ill-natured. The writers in this magazine never omit an opportunity for sneering at the Wesleyan Methodists. " The Spiritual Authority of the Church asserted against Romish and Protestant Dissent," is the title of a very excellent sermon by the Rev. Thomas Sharpies, curate of Blackburn. There is too much Pusey ism for us in the article on " The late Caricature of Ancient Christianity," though we do not entirely agree with the author whose work is criticised. There is a large mass of interesting miscellaneous intelligence in the pages of the Church Magazine. Restitution to the Church a Sacred Duty ; or, how can the Church be made to meet the Wants of the Nation? Se cond Edition. London : James Burns, 17, Portman street. 1840. This is a very important tract, on a question which merits the attention of every sincere well wisher to the vital interests of the nation. The author contends for the recovery of the revenues which are derived from lay impropriations and from ecclesiastical property that was seized by the crown at the Reformation. We think that he has made out a very strong case, and that the historical evidence which he adduces in favour of his proposition is irresistible. Mechanics' Churches. A Letter to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., on Church Extension. By John Livesey, M.A. London : Butchard, Piccadilly. This is another very seasonable pamphlet on the all-im portant question of church extension. The appalling facts which the author has introduced in support of his views are deeply to be deplored. The remedy which he has pointed out for improving the moral, religious, and social condition of the working classes in our large towns, is deserving of every attention. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. It might have been supposed, that upon the return of the great majority of the influential turf gentlemen from visiting Liverpool, that some increase of attention would be ex tended to racing events fast creeping on. If attention was given at the usual hour of business this morning, it did not to our ear furnish any important transactions. Although the unsteadiness of the Derby betting at Hyde Park Corner caused a depression in the prices of two or three horses, with more prosy conversation and vapid offers than genuine business. For the Two Thousand Guineas' Stakes, 2 to 1 was offered against the Angelica colt ; half a point more would have been taken. We rather think even money was laid between Ottoman and Confederate, and the Grey offered to be backed against the two. For the Chester Cup, 7to 1 was proposed on the field, 11 to 2 would have been taken in a good channel on Lanercost, with an offer of 100, he beats any thing " bar one," id est Cowbow. 12 to 1 appears Cruis keen's price, and we should say a point more Gilbert Gur ney's. Neither Abraham Newland nor St. Bennett are in any favour; and we should think their estimate in the mar ket would about reach 18 to 1. Opera has been in demand at 100 to 3, and the Apothecary also ; 25 to 1 freely offered against the latter at noon. Captain Pops has been backed to win about 500, at a trifling advance, say 100 to 6. King Cole's price we put down at 16 to 1, but he was not backed, nor was Col. Peel's lot. Btol in many instances was freely launched. THE DERBY.-11 to 1 was offered on the field ; Confede rate was proposed against any two for 100 each. 160 to 10 was laid against Launcelot, and again offered. 500 to 15 was offered against Mr. Robinson's St. Andrew; and 1,200 to 800 laid that Ottoman beats him, and we believe after even money. Some money was laid at evens, Monops v. Gambia. 15 to 1 against St. Andrew and Ottoman coupled, offered. Confederate against " the brace," and no takers. 12 to lin fifties against Lord Exeter, offered. 500 to 15, in two bets, on Grey Milton, was the last engagement we heard. TATTERSALL' S , MONDAY. The betting this afternoon was far from brisk ; but, as will be collected from the subjoined list of prices, sortie altera tions of considerable interest arose from it. The Angelica colt fell back a point, and was so closely pressed by Theon and Confederate as to make a change of ministry, before the expiration of this week, far from improbable ; the last men tioned pair were in great request. Launcelot's friends were not in front; 16 to 1 was laid early in the afternoon, after which we heard little of him. Gambia was backed in two or three instances at 28 to 1, and Wardan at 25 to 1 to a small amount. Three or four parties endeavoured to get on about the latter at an advance of three points, but failed. The eagerness with which 40 to 1 was laid and offered against Ot toman at the commencement of the betting, led many to suspect that he was lame, had broken down, or was other wise amiss ; towards the close, however, he rallied, and we cannot quote him at more than 30 to 1. Maroon joined the 50 to 1 division, in which Black Bess, Defendant, and Torres Vedras will be found ; they were all backed. Mr. E. Peel's Brother to Margrave is , declared not t. start. We have made a rough guess of 5 to 2 cn the field for the Two Thou sand Guineas' Stakes, which we take to be pretty near the mark • we cannot say that it is the exact price. Bl ac k Bess was backed for about £3OO. for the Oaks, at 8 to 1, and Lallah Rookh at 9 to 1; nothing else mentioned.

BLACKBURN STEEPLE CHASE.—The Blackburn Steeple Chase, which was originally advertised to come off yesterday, the 12th instant, has been postponed until Monday, the 30th instant. The last day for entry is the 25th instant. COURSING.—Lord Eglinton has offered to back his cele brated dog Waterloo, by Dusty Miller, against any other Scotch-bred greyhound, for 200 guineas, to run the best of five courses. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—There was a slightly improved demand for some descriptions of yarn yesterday, and rather more business done in them than for some time past, but without time slightest improvement in prices ; and goods of all de scriptions were extremely flat, considering the present season is one in which the utmost activity ought to prevail. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MARCH 9. There have been rather more buyers in the market to-day, but little or no improvement in the demand for goods. The manufacturers complain of the prices offered for pieces, and some who are obliged to sell may have submitted to a small reduction. The wool market has undergone no change for some weeks back, the demand has been limited, and prices stationary. _ _ HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, M ARC r ano worse, we can learn, this market was much of of lOTll.—From all we the same miserable description as for some weeks past; p the prospect of amendment does not brighten. hope of any profitable trade this season seems belndeed extinct ; d all e but and unless the legislature interfere , and open the° sluices that bar commerce, extensive ruin must be the consequence.-- Manchester Guardian. BLACKBURN. —A more gloomy and unsatisfactory week we have not had for some time p ast, and bu y ers are antici pating a further reduction in both yarn and cloth. We do hope, however, that in this they they will be disappointed, provided the sellers will remember and duly estimate the fact that the spring is setting in, and most auspiciously ; together with another most important fact, namely, that both the raw and the manufactured material are at extremely low and almost ruinous prices.—Blackburn Standard. THE B RID E OF LAMMERMOOR TRAGICALLY ILLUSTRAT ED.—" A tragical event occurred a st oo o o r o tti t m d g e o a ri g o o," th sa e ysthe Quotidienne, "at the theatre of per formance of Lucia de Lammermoor. A rivalry had been for some time existing between two of the performers, and a duel had ev en taken place, but they bad been apparently. recon ciled. In the second act of the opera, however, during the combat, their former animosity revived as they thrust at each other, and the stage fight became a real duel , the p ublic in the meantime applauding their earnestness without suspect ing its cause. Suddenly the actor who was performing the part of Ravenswood uttered a dreadful cry, for he had receiv ed a wound in the br eas t, an d t h en f e ll d ea d upon the stage. The other actor was immediately arrested. The company, unwilling to appear again after this melancholy event, broke up on the following day, and the theatre remains closed." NARROW ESCAPE. —On Friday - ;;1;, --- 141r. Richard Or s state otpiece, inFletarodileosfs,Hwaistlhinthdeeni,etNev intention n out f in the neighbourhood of ofooting snipes. He dis charged his gun, and was in the actsreloading, some when it ap pearssparks that, owing to the dirty and communi cated in the barrel ; the powder in e t o 4 1 I () hand. It ex ploded to that in the flask, which he had'iri tt his fin gers, with a terrific noise, nearly tearing and ripping up his coat sleeve in all directions,ne but without materially injuring his arm. O g n a e o pa f r a to i t le t r h flask struck him on the side of the face, doin than stunning him, causing his face to swell, and burni i n nju h r l hair. Two little boys, who were by his side at the time,ghald a narrow escape, one of them being so stunned that he could not hear for some time after. Even the dog did not escape, one side of the animal being almost denuded of hair, an though it had been shaved.—Blackburn Standard. MISCELLANEOUS. A whites-headed blackbird has been presented to the Mu seum by Mr. Thos. Wilson, of the Cross Keys Inn, Parade, Douglas..—Manx Liberal. By an act of William IV., overseers of parishes are com pelled to put up directing-posts in all cases where the roads are not turnpike. A brevet is confidently spoken of in well-informed circles as likely to take place on the approaching anniversary of her most gracious Majesty's birth-day. Pus EYISM.—In the 75th number of the "Tracts for the Times," there are Collects for Protestant use, running— " Grant, 0 Lord, that by the deserts of Peter and Paul, we may obtain everlasting life I"—Record. The force now in British North America amounts to 14,000 rank and file, which will be considerably augmented in the spring by strong drafts sent out to join the service companies stationed there. REPRESENTATION OF HELSTON.—Mr. Basset is in the field for Helston, vacant by Lord Cantalupe having taken the Chiltern Hundreds, and we are glad to say that Mr. Basset is now an excellent Conservative, and will oppose her Ma jesty's ministers.— Woolmer' s Exeter Gazette. - - COURSING CHALLENGE. — The Earl of Eglinton has chal lenged all Scotland to a coursing match for the best five runs, for £2OO, on the head of his splendid dog " Waterloo," got by " Dusty Miller." That the son will even "transcend his father's fame," is the opinion of sporting connoisseurs. The general collection for the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, under the au thority of the Queen's letter of last year, amounted to .E 40,000, a large portion of which, it is understood, will be applied to the provinces of British America. M. Guizot, on his appointment as Ambassador to Eng _ _ land, ordered of M. Odiot, the eminent goldsmith, a hand some table-service, to cost 60,000!. On the articles is a label with his motto, " Linea recta brevissima"—the straight line is the shortest.—Paris paper. A line sow, fed by James Davey, servant of Mr. Carter, Clifton, was killed on Saturday last, 14 months old, measur ing 7 feet 8 inches in length, and 6 feet 6 inches girth; the two sides and head weighiug 28 score, 201bs. the score ; hams 66ilbs. each.—Bristol Standard. SPECIMENS OP METROPOLITAN ORTHOGRAPHY. A window in Hart-street, Covent-garden, exhibits the follow. ing, scrawled on a sheet of paper :—"A. Baxter, Portear— gose on arrants—betes carpets cleens winders and takes mes suages on the shortes notise—N.B. Old Boots and shoos bort, and old close." The naval force of France, according to the latest official returns, consists of 46 ships of the line, 56 frigates, 25 cut ters, 7 cutters avisos, 31 brigs, 18 brigs avisos, 24 gunboats, &c., 55 transport ships, 17 sloops of the same description, 31 lighters, 4 transport brigs of 925 tons, 36 steam-boats ; total, 350 vessels, capable of carrying 10,000 guns. DERRY POLITICS.—A rumour has latterly gained ground amonc , the best informed circles here, that a near relative of the Marquis b of Abercorn intends to solicit the suffrages of the electors of Derry at the next election. It is also said that the Marquis of Abercorn and Lord Claude Hamilton, M.P., will support their relative's claims to the extent of their power.—Dublin Statesman. The Brighton correspondent of the Morning Post says:— " Lord Cantalupe received on`Friday last a card, conveying her Majesty's commands for his lordship's attendance at an evening party at Buckingham Palace, on Monday evening. This Whig annoyance on the part of her Majesty's ministers will fail of its intended object, and in the end tell against themselves. CHINA EXPEDITION.—The Druid, 46, Captain Lord John Churchill, and the Alligator, Captain Sir J. J. G. Bremer, are to meet the Hon. Rear-Admiral Elliott, in the Melville, at Singapore ; and, by a letter 'from Madras, we find that several regiments are ordered for embarkation, among which is the 24th Native Infantry, which was to proceed to Penang immediately.—Hampshire Telegraph. COUNTY OF SUTHERLAND.—We understand that another election may soon be expected in the north. Mr. Howard, the conservative member for Sutherlandshire is to resign, to make room for a liberal, Mr. David Dundas, an English barrister on the Northern Cireuit.—lnverness Herald. We (the Port of Tyne Pilot) have been informed, on re spectable authority, that for six weeks recently the lights in the North Channel of the Tees have not been lighted. Every vessel entering the Tees contributes a stated sum for the ex penses attendant on keeping these lights in a state of effici ency. For some weeks back the principal beacon in that channel has been down. On Friday morning, a fine thrush was " warbling its native wood-notes wild," in a tree, which grows in Mr. Holland's yard; and so loud and clear were the little songster's notes, that we heard them in our printing-office. We understand this fine bird is an annual visitant, and has delighted the neighbourhood with most " exquisite music," for several successive seasons.—Lancaster Gazette. The agent of the Bank of Scotland has received a letter bearing the London postmark, enclosing £l, and also 10s. as interest on it, stating that the writer had, several years ago, taken in the office here £1 more than the sum he should have received, and had " unjustly appropriated it to his own use." This is a good example of doing justice, however late, and the person deserves credit for acting on his repentance. —lnverness Journal. --- SOUTHMOLTON. SYMPTOMS OF AN ELECTION. —WO are informed that the hares and pheasants are flying about here very liberally from a nobleman's mansion not many miles from this town. This smells very strong of election eering movements, as a voter remarked " that he knew an election was near;" and on being asked why, " because he had a hare sent as a present from Castle Hill."—Western Luminary. DEATH OF SIR CHARLES WYNDHAM BURDETT.—We have to announce the demise of Sir Charles Burdett, Bart., which took place at Colombo, in Ceylon, in the early part of December last. Sir Charles was the fifth baronet, and a co lonel in the army. He was in his 68th year, and dying without issue, is succeeded in his title and estates by his nephew Charles Wentworth Burdett, Esq., the present and sixth baronet. Soctamsm.—The clergy of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, being strongly and justly impressed with a sense of the great value of the services of the Bishop of Exeter in behalf of Christianity and morality, in his searching and per severing exposure of socialism, in all its atrocities, have for warded to him an address, signed, as we understand, by every rev. gentleman at present officiating in these three towns. — Western Luminary. Mr. Pegler, of the Lamb Inn, Corsham, drew - in his gar den, a few days since, a radish, of the black Spanish kind, of the extraordinary size of 19 inches in circumference—weight three pounds. It was perfectly sound throughout, and of excellent flavour, as many of his (Mr. P's) customers can testify, they having partaken of it for supper last week at the above inn.—Bristol Standard. RIBBLE NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT.--It may be grati fying to our readers to know, that all the rock was cleared out of the first length of the coffer dam on Monday last, and that the contractor is making active preparations for the commencement of the excavation of the second length. The clearance already made has given considerable impulse to the current of the river, and much greater stability to the chan nel. In every department the works are progressing most favourably.—Preston Chronicle. CAUTION TO TRAVELLERS.—On Tuesday morning about one o'clock, when the York mail arrived in Rochdale, a pas senger (a foreign gentleman) missed his valuableportmanteau, and not being certain whether he had left it at some of the stages or it had fallen off the coach, he immediately hired a postchaise, and when he got about nine miles from Roch dale on the Halifax road, he was informed that as the Man chester mail was going to York about the time he must have lost his parcel, the guard had picked the gentleman's port manteau up and taken it to York. The evening following the gentleman had it given to him back at Rochdale by the guard of the mail.—Bolton Chronicle. We understand that the proprietors of the Liverpool Zoo logical Gardens have obtained possession of a portion of the lands of Cranstonhill, the property of Messrs. Houldsworth and Son, with the intention of forming a similar establish ment in the neighbourhood of Glasgow. The Botanic Gar den in Sauchiehall-road is one of the most favourite places of resort connected with the capital of the West ; and any one who has passed a few hours in the Zoological Gardens of London and Liverpool, will readily appreciate the plea sure and instruction to be derived from such an establish ment as that already in the course of formation at Cranston hill.—Glasgow Mail. THE CORN-LAWS.—We are happy to find, that the landed gentry and yeomanry of the county are now fully alive to the importance of petitioning the legislature against a repeal of the corn-laws. The northern division of the county was the first to show so good an example, but the friends of agricul ture in the southern division are now bestirring themselves with equal activity, and we have authority for stating, that before the present week has terminated, meetings will have been held in almost every parish throughout the county. The utmost exertion is necessary to counteract the unceasing hos tility of the opponents of agriculture—and it is only by making the tables of both houses groan under the weight of petitions, that any impression can be expected to be made on the minds of our legislators.—Western Luminary. SOCIALISM,—We feel much pleasure in recording the fol lowing anecdote, illustrative of the manner in which the de testable theories of Socialism are regarded by the right hearted farmers of Old England. At a market table, at one of the inns in Salisbury, a fortnight back, the guests (con sisting of agriculturists from the neighbourhood) were given' to understand that " a lion" was to join them, in the shape of an Owenite missionary from the adjacent establishment at Tytherly. Upon hearing this, the leading farmers present immediately gave the landlord to understand, that the whole of his guests would instantly quit the house, and dine else where, if the " lion" in question made his appearance at their dinner table. " Boniface" was not long in deciding which party he should oblige;. and the "social" advocate was fain to retreat, without accomplishing his intended at tempt to gain new converts.—Bath Chronicle. PORT OF PRESTON.—During the week, J. Manning, Esq. Surveyor General of the Board of Customs, has visited the town, for the purpose of obtaining information whereon to advise the Lords of the Treasury, with respect to the memo rial of the council, praying for Preston to be constituted an independent bonded port. We understand that he has inti mated his readiness to recommend that timber and corn may be bonded here, in yards and warehouses to be erected or set apart for that purpose, but that he is not at present.prepared to advise their lordships to confer on us all the privileges of a free port. At the same time there is every reason to be lieve that when further progress is made in the Ribble Navi gation improvement, there will be no objection whatever on the part of the treasury to accede fully to the request of the menaoriai presented by the corporation. The boon now pro posed to be granted is considerable, and will be of great be nefit and importance to our merchants, the only drawback being that the duties on goods bonded here will have to be o paid at Fl ee t woo d , and the cargoes reg i stered there. —P res t on Chronicle. en velopecontaining a mostAGt ' " PEN NY PST day, through th e me di um o f the post-office. an ' R elegan E t m tAN aTLbceaEu. W—tifulley received finished scent bag, about two and a half inches square, which was perhaps the fir s t o f t h e ki nd that had ever been so conveyed. The whole parcel was under the half ounce, and in spite of all the risks to which it had been from London, it came to harulwitxlrosed during its journey out its delicate contents having sustained the least injury. It is formed of ribbon which may appropriately enough be called " —the ground is white and a t th e top of wedding ribbon," words " Victoria," "Albert," with _ the square are the th a true lover's knot (qy. noose) between them ; under this are tw crossed stems, and a little lower, occupying the roses with centre squ are, is a heart, which is placed bet ween a coup leof of the of rather suspicious appearance, but which after e I bi.rds tion we made out to be a couple of turtle doves • the Scotch thistle occupies on each side the lower part of the square, but to o ur eye-glass having bee n mislaid . we are unable deter mine whether the shamrock is present or not, if it is repre sented by the branch on which the doves are standin g , it cer tainly springs from the thistle which thus fo rms i ts root, perhaps, however, a lusus naturce is admissable in matters of this kind. At the bottom of this square is the crown royal of England filling up the remaining space, and worthily com h t • and accuracy which by its chasteness as pleting the design, of finish proves itself to have been the work o f no m e a n hand. • • We must not forget to inform our fail readers that the bag quite ortho dox is bordered round with gold twis t ; whether this is q or not is hardly our province to determine—the bonds of Hymen are generally called silken, but as this is found in poetry alone, we shall hardly be justi fie d in adopt ing such an expression in the present age at least—Corres pondent of the Preston Pilot. The bakers of Limerick have come to a resolution not to work on the Sabbath henceforward. His Grace the Duke of Wellington dined with her Majesty at Buckingham Palace on Monday. On Friday, there were presented to the House of Com mons 12 petitions for and 50 against the repeal of the corn laws. BARNSLEY BANK.—The firm of Beckett, Birks, and Co. have retired from the banking business, in ,favour of the Wakefield Banking Company. THE BAR.—David Dundas, Esq., of the northern circuit, has received a silk gown, having been appointed one of her majesty's council learned in the law. ABERDEEN.—On Monday last, Sir George Sinclair, of Ulster, Bart. M.P., was elected Lord Rector of the Minis chal College and University for one year. The Tory has arrived at New Zealand, and several other vessels belonging to the company, for the purpose of esta blishing a British colony, after the manner of South Aus tralia. The marriage announced between the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere and his cousin Miss Baring, daughter of Sir Thomas Baring, will be solemnised during the Easter recess. It is the intention of government, at the earliest possible opportunity, to take the conveyance of the English mails to Alexandria out of the hands of the present French con tractors. There will be a musical festival, on a very extensive scale, at Birmingham, in the autumn ; also the triennial one at Hereford. It is not yet quite determined whether there will be a meeting at York. The marriage announced between the Hon. Captain Ber tram Wodehouse and Miss Macdonald, niece to the Dowager Lady Suffield, will take place at the close of the present month. Within the last six weeks the number of vessels pur chased for the port of Dundee make an addition to its tonnage of from 3000 to 4000 tons. Several of the newly purchased vessels are large and splendid. The late Duke of Bedford's wines, which were brought to the hammer a few days since, felt tolerably high prices. A quantity of Hock, which bad turned sour, however, sold for the low price of 10s. a dozen. It was stated that some of his grace's old rum had been in the cellars, at Woburn, nearly a century. LORD DURHAM. — We regret to learn from reports cur rent in well-informed quarters, that his lordship's health is in a very precarious state; so much so, indeed, as to give great cause of uneasiness to his immediate friends. DISTRESS.—In Stockport union the total expenditure of the last quarter is £3,060 16s 44d, and for the quarter end ing December 25, 1838, £5,695 lOs 3d; being also an increase of nearly one-half of the expenditure one ,year ago, £965 6s lid. It is in contemplation—indeed, already determined on—to raise two fencible regiments, to be located with.a small grant of land each, on the frontier of Canada. The men to be sup plied from soldiers of long and good service, at present serv in Canada. A SINGULAR CHARACTER.-011 Friday last, an old sol dier named William Lee, died in Healey Hall, in the 80th year of his age. In his younger days he enlisted and joined the army, and coming home, after an absence of seven years. he found the same warp in the loom which he had left, and set to and finished it.—Blackburn Standard. MANCHESTER. SAVINGS' BANK.—The trustees of this bank have come to the resolution to erect new offices for the daily increasing business of the establishment. The edifice will, it is said, be splendid rather than otherwise, the official parties having near £lO,OOO to expend on the erection, should they see fit. INLAND BONDING COMMITTEE.—The following mem bers are nominated to serve on the committee of the inland warehousing bill, by Mr. Labouchere :—Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. M. Philips, Lord Viscount Sandon, Mr. Baines, Sir Walter James, Mr. Lascelles, Mr. Henry Berkeley, Mr. Ward, Mr. R. Steuart, Mr. M. J. O'Con nell, Sir R. Peel, Mr. Denistoun, Mr. W. Patten, and Lord Worsley. - - - - - SHAMEFUL HOAX.—During the past week, the friends of Mr. John Whitehead, hatter, of Dronfield, nine in number (eight of them residing at Manchester, and one at Worksop), were summoned to attend the funeral of Mr. Whitehead, which was to take place at Dronfield, on Thursday last, as stated in the communications sent to them. It is needless to add, that when the parties arrived at the place, instead of finding a house of mourning, they discovered that they had been cruelly imposed upon ; and that their relative was still alive, in the enjoyment of good health. This abominable hoax is attributed to a rejected fair (?) one.—Shetfield pqper. At the meeting of the Edinburgh Royal Society, on Mon day, a paper was read by Sir Charles Bell, on sudden death produced by air drawn into the circulation. It is only at a recent period that the fact has attracted attention. It ap pears, that when a wound occurs which lays open certain arteries, the air sometimes rushes in with a hissing noise, and the individual falls dead, as if by 'a thunderbolt. This result has sometimes followed the amputation of an arm, or a wound in the neck ; but it is rare. Sir Charles referred to the experiments of the French medical men; but, in opposi tion to their opinion, held that the fatal effect is produced through the action of the vertebral arteries upon the medulla oblongata. Professor Syme dissented from this conclusion. RARE SHOT.—On Thursday week Mr. F. Crossfield, of Arnside, killed at one shot, on these sands, nine wild grey ducks, out of a flock of 16. About six weeks ago the same person killed 40 seapyes at one discharge. He is provided with a small boat and large gun for fowling. One day last week the same person killed a goosander, a beautiful bird. The goosander is a very rare bird in this part.—Lancaster Gazette. Early on Thursday morning week, Mr. Cripps, M.P., who had been for some time asleep at his mansion near Cirences ter, was awoke by a feeling of suffocation, when he found his bed and bedroom in flames. The hon. gentleman jumped out of bed, and called assistance, and the fire was fortunately confined to that room. Mr. Cripps had fallen asleep whilst reading in bed, and the candle had set light to the hangings. —Cheltenham Gazette. MERCHANT SEAMEN. —According to a return made to the House of Commons, the total number of apprenticed seamen, registered from the 31st of July, 1835, up to the 14th of February, 1840, was 27,722. Of that number the indentures of 3374 have expired, or their death been ascer tained, leaving the total number of apprenticed seamen now existing 24,348. The total- number of registered seamen serving in British vessels up to the same date was 202,160. PETERBOROUGH.—We are happy to hear that Lord Fitz william is recovering from his late serious accident. His Lordship, it appears, was enjoying the pleasures of the chase upon a spirited, and not very manageable horse, when, in taking a fence, he came in contact with the lateral branch of a tree, with so much violence as to break his breast bone, and to render him insensible. In this state he was conveyed to Miton, much injured about the face and the lower extremi ties ; but, by the speedy application of able medical and sur gical aid, and the vigour of an excellent constitution, his Lordship is now in a fair way for complete recovery.—Cam bridge paper. On Sunday morning, as the Misses Ruth and Eliza Con greve, who were on a visit to their brother, Mr. D. Congreve, at Deeping High Bank, were crossing the river Welland in a skiff, for the purpose of attending church, the wind came on to blow very high and splashed the water into the side of the boat. The young ladies incautiously shifted suddenly to the other side, when the frail vessel instantly upset, and both of them were drowned. The boy who was rowing swam to the shore and was saved. Both young ladies were distinguished for their personal charms; and the elder of the two was en gaged to be married on the week but one following this me lancholy event : the bodies were recovered in 20 minutes after the accident, but life was quite extinct.—Lincoln Chronicle. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.-At Bradford fair, on Tuesday, a person called Benjamin Seed, of Low Moor, had two horses to show, worth together between £6O and £7O. He took them into the stable of the Horse Sboes Inn, and gave them a very large feed of bean meal and chopped straw, in order to swell them out and give them a more showy ap pearance. After eating till they left off with satiety, they had water given. Very shortly after the horses became ex tremely ill, and Mr. Byron, veterinary surgeon was sent for, but his assistance was of no avail, as they both died within a short period. There was strong suspicion that the horses were poisoned, and in order to ascertain this they were opened, when it was found that both their stomachs had burst.—Leeds Intelligencer. CONVERTS TO PROTESTANTISM.—A poor woman, named Mary Casey, who lives at Tuogh, went on last Sunday to Adare chapel to mass. When the service was over she im mediately made her way to the chapel gate to go home, but when she reached the gate it was locked, and his reverence refused to let her pass unless she gave him something for the O'Connell tribute, which she peremptorily refused to do. His reverence still persevered in his demand, whereupon she told him she never would enter the chapel again. He then let her out, and she went the same evening to the lecture held by the Protestant minister of the parish, and publicly read her recantation against Popery. There is a report that a young man in the neighbourhood of the same town, who was brought up to be a priest, read his recantation also.— Limerick Standard. FRAUDULENT CORN AVERAGES.—Amidst the innume rable frauds, to which farmers are subjected, few are more severe in their operation than those which spring from the system which now prevails, of taking the averages. The corn-factors in various parts of the kingdom, whose object is, of course, always to extend the sphere of their operations, by keeping the duty on foreign corn as low as possible, are notoriously in the habit of securing high averages by a sys tem of fictitious sales. The same parcel of corn is frequently sold a dozen times in one day, each time at an apparent ad vance in price, while the corn in question never leaves the hands of the first seller or of his confederates. The conse quence is, that the farmer appears to be receiving much higher prices than he really does ; while the duty on foreign corn is lessened in direct proportion to the seeming rise of price. The system is infamous. It must be put a stop to ; and it can be put a stop to by no other method than by requiring of every farmer who brings grain to market, an exact return of the quantity, and of the price at which he sold it. The average would then, in fact, be struck by the farmers themselves—not by men who have the deepest interest in ruining the farmers.—Farmer's Journal. YEARLY FALL OF RAIN.—At a late meeting of the Hor ticultural Society, a statement was made of the quantity of rain which fell, and the number of wet days in the last six months of the previous year and the first of the present year, with a comparison of the averages (for the same period) for the last fourteen years ; from which it appears that the near est approach to last winter was in the year 1836, when the quantity of rain that fell was 19.29 inches, and the number of wet days 119 ; in the last year the number of wet days was 122, and the quantity of rain which fell 20.09 inches. PUBLIC MEETING OF ATTORNIES AND SOLICITORS._A most respectable public meeting of the attornies and solici tors of the metropolis was held on Monday, at the Freema sons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of consi dering what steps (as a body) they ought to adopt in conse. quence of the House of Commons imprisoning Mr. Howard for acting in the discharge of his legal duty. At a quarter past one o'clock Mr. Shadwell, of Gray's Inn (brother, we believe, to the Vice-Chancellor), was unanimously voted to the chair. A resolution condemnatory of the proceedings of the House of Commons was passed by a large majority. THE 'BREATHING CORPSE!—A correspondent has sent us the following marvellous story, for the truth of which he vouches :—Being at Huddersfield on Thursday last, curiosity led me to Deighton, about two miles from that town, to visit the breathing corpse ! The facts are these :—Thos. Bradley, aged 22, was lying in a trance in a small bed, on the first floor, at the house of his parents, situate in the above village. He fell asleep, as his anxious mother gave the account, on the 6th of last November. His hands and forehead were warm—his breathing perceptible—the eyelids occasionally trembled, sometimes shewing a little of the pupil, which, as far as could be observed, was anything but dull. A spoon ful of warm gruel every day, is his only food. His limbs are very flexible, and in whatever position they are placed, re main so until changed. It is about seven years since he had a similar attack, which then lasted six months, reducing him to —as indeed he now is—a complete living skeleton. Pre vious to the present melancholy affliction, lie had, in a great measure, recovered his former healthy, and even handsome, appearance. The room is perfectly clear of any objection to which the olfactory nerve is peculiarly susceptible ; and, but for the p a l e an d somewhat unearthly f ea t ures of this unfor tunate youth, nothing indicating disease at all appears. Many hund re d s have, of course, been to see him, including some of the most celebrated of " the faculty" both far and near.—Manchester Chronicle. &Dipping Entrllignitt.

Beef and Pork in brisk request,—the declaration of war with China, acting as a great stimulus. Bacon is held at 50s to 51s for the primest Belfast. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 10. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Tha imports of Grain since Tuesday last have again been very moderate, owing to a continuance of easterly winds, and our millers and dealers owing to the very fine weather we have now had for nearly four weeks, and in the expectation of large arrivals on a change of wind, have been very sparing buyers for their immediate wants, sales have thus been only to a very small extent during the past week, but at fully our last quotations for every article in the Corn trade. The only alteration in the duties on Grain, from foreign ports, since Friday, is au increase oar Beans of Is 6d per quarter, and a decrease on Oats of Is 6d per quarter. Several parcels of American at 31s, and some small parcels for export at 31s 6d to 325 I..er brl. All kinds of bonded Grain find sales, as if free, allowing the duties. Fine sweet heavy Dutch Oats 3s 10d to 4s in bond, for export. Notwithstanding a further advance of 2s per quarter on English Wheat yesterday, in the London market, proceeding from the im provement in its quality, we have experienced no improvement in prices or demand here at this day's market; sales were effected only to a very small extent, and prices of every article in the Corn trade remain as noted this day week.
