IiOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE The musical festivals of the approaching autumn will he at Hull, Birmingham, and Hereford. - - Upwards of seven tons of flint glass is manufactured weekly in Manchester. Potatoes were last week sold in Whitehaven at two-pence half-penny per stone. A detachment of the 79th Highlanders left Stockport, on Wednesday morning last, en route to Gibraltar. • A very fine specimen of the hoopoe was shot, on Thurs day, on Skircoat Moor, near Halifax. - • The United States government have been experimenting with success upon a 130-pounder (cannon) at Boston. The list of subscriptions to the monument to the memory of the late Earl of Durham, up to Saturday last, exceeded £2350. Combustibles, such au lucifer matches, &c. are prohibited, by sec. 62 of the last postage act (3 and 4 Vic. c. 96), from being forwarded by post. Three hundred excise officers have been discharged within the last month, in consequence of dispensing with permits with tobacco. The occupier of land may shoot or destroy rabbits without a game certificate : there is no penalty for shooting wild ducks without a certificate. JOHN THOROGOD.—A paragraph has been going the round of the papers, stating, that the rate and costs had been paid, and Mr. Thorogood released. The statement is al together erroneous.—Patriot. A PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.—A fine stag, a present from the Marquis of Breadalbane to her Majesty, was, last week, forwarded by the mail to Windsor.—Perth paper. The Adelphi Theatre, which is now in ruins, is expected to be rebuilt by the close of the ensuing month, when it will he opened for the season, under the management of Mr. Yates. An elderly young lady, in Boston, has sued a schoolmas ter in that city, for a breach of promise. She inferred the contract from the fact, that he had taken tea at her house twice a week for ten years. Last week, in the parish of Gulval, on the farm of Mr. John Samson, innkeeper, Penzance, no fewer than 174 pota toes were found growing from one stem, the greater number of which were saleable. An immense number of meteors, known in the northern parts of Europe, by the name of " St. Lawrence's Tears," were observed to dart along the sky over the United States on the usual anniversary, viz. on the night of August 10. A physician at Bath advertises for a wife, and says he adopts these means " to avoid the tedium of courtship !" Mrs. Trollope is about to become a permanent resident in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, having purchased a little man sion called Eamont Lodge. One evening last week, as Mr. Whitehead, constable of Bilston, was endeavouring to take his seat on the mail whilst leaving Wolverhampton at a rapid rate, he missed his hold, and fell with such violence upon his head that he was ren dered insensible ; he expired in the course of a very short time. Considerable sensation has been excited among the en gravers in the Potteries, by experiments that are now being made by a gentlemen from London, in transferring designs and patterns from lithographic prints to earthenware. Ap prehensions are entertained that it will supersede engraving altogether : the effect is really beautifnl. Staffordshire Gazette. The Staffordshire Gazette expresses a confident opinion, that if there be an election for the borough of Walsall under the forthcoming registration, the Conservative will he re turned. A workman in the iron foundry of Mr. Thornwill, at Bur ton-upon-Trent, was killed on Wednesday, by an immense quantity of iron falling upon him. The differences between the colliers in the neighbourhood of Stourbridge and Dudley and their masters, on the subject of wages, have been adjusted, and the men have resumed work. A joiner named Halliwell was killed in a cotton factory at Wigan last Wednesday, by a mallet falling from an upper room upon his head. In the neighbourhood of Lancaster nearly all the grain is cut, and the sample is generally good. The commissioners of excise have determined that apothe caries are not liable to prosecution for selling spirits of wine. This decision was elicited by an attempt on the part of the non-licentiates of Drogheda to prosecute the licentiates for vending a few ounces of that article. The Great Western has crossed the Atlantic 28 times during the period of the 14 months just elapsed without ac cident, maintaining an almost uniform speed, of which the average time was 16 days going, and 13 to 14 days coming back ; the last voyage was even accomplished in eleven days and a half. The quantity of sulphur now warehoused in the Tyne is immense, and the demand for it next to nothing. The ma nufacturers seem determined to dispense, as far as possible, with his Sicilian Nlajesty's assistance, by obtaining their sup plies, in future, in the shape of pyrites, from the hills of Wicklow. A considerable quantity has already been re ceived.—Gateshead Observer. At an early hour on Thursday morning, an elegantly dressed female threw herself into the river from the middle arch on Westminster-bridge, and was instantly carried away by the tide. She was attired in a black satin dress and white silk bonnet.—Times. In Manchester, a night asylum for the destitute, which has existed for two years, has been productive of much benefit —no fewer than 20,335 individuals have been relieved during the last year- 1 , at an expence of £365, or £1 per day. About ten days since a woman called at a country post office, not a hundred miles from John O'Groat's, with a letter which she wished posted, and tendered .four eggs as prepayment of the postage of the same ! I—John 0' Groat Journal. PROLIFIC GRAIN.—Last March Mr. Bakes, of the Malt Shovel Inn, Idle, showed a single oat grain in a small plot of ground by itself. This single grain has produced 55 stems, many of which are of unusually large dimensions, and upwards of 2,000 grains.—Leeds Intelligencer. A correspondent says that from the wide spread of Con servatism of late at Thirsk and Northalerton, there is now not the least shadow of a doubt that whenever a dissolution of parliament takes place each of those boroughs will send a •Conservative member to the Commons House of Parlia ment. —Leeds Intelligencer. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We have had another week of fine harvest weather, and the great bulk of the corn in Yorkshire has been housed. The temperature has been cold, with a drying breeze. The accounts from all parts of the county speak favourably both as to the quantity and qua lity of the grain.—Leeds Intelligence,. APPRENTICE PAUPER CHILDREN.—A few days ago, Mr. Alderman Farebrother and Sir Peter Laurie refused an ap plication of the Relieving Officer of the West-London Union to apprentice two Protestant pauper children to a Roman Ca tholic shoemaker, and Aldermen Kelly and Wilson have since refused to revise that decision. PENNY POSTAGE.—A FLOWERY EPISTLE.—A letter was received by a gentleman in town yesterday from a distant part of the country, containing a beautiful bonquet, consist ing of a moss rose, lily of the valley, fuchsia, myrtle and pansies, all in full bloom, and for the small charge of one penny! The Derby Mercury infers that there will shortly be a new election for that borough from the circumstance that there is tan unusual stir among the Whigs there, and from the volun iary and gratuitous distribution of ale in several of the pub ic houses in that interest having been in constant exercise for more than a week. Mr. Ponsonby is the member who is expected to retire. COMBINATION IN CORK.—For some weeks the northern part of this city has been in a state of alarm, owing to a " turn out" amongst journeymen coopers. The combination was resisted by the masters, who brought into their service country tradesmen ; the consequence of which has been, that several of the countrymen have been assaulted by those who have struck work, and numerous informations are now pend ing against the offenders. SQUINTING CURED. — Mr.Featherstonhaulgh, of this town, has during the past week successfully operated in four cases of strabismus; on two young women of 20, a boy of 15, and a man of 25. The obliquity in the vision of these parties has been entirely cured, and we may add by way of en couragement to others suffering under the same defect, and who desire to be relieved, that the operation occupies only five minutes.—Bolton Chronicle. A PERTINENT QUERY.—A friend of Mr. Cartwright the celebrated dentist, took his son to have his mouth inspected by that able artist, who, with wonderful celerity, removed seven of the boy's first teeth. Upon the boy crying out with surprise, and a little pain, Cartwright said, " Never mind, Johnny, your teeth will come again." Johnny, with tears in his eyes, inquired, " Will they come again before dinner, Mr. Cartwright ?"—Bentley's Miscellany. ANTIPATHY TO FAT.—Some of the Gentoos enter their dwellings by a hole in the roof, and any fat person, who can not get throught it, they consider as an excommunicated offender, who has not been able to rid himself of his sins ; and an eastern prince had an officer to regulate the size of his subjects, who dieted the unwieldy ones, to reduce them to a proper volume.—Millingen's Curiosities of Medical Ex perience. CLEVER THIEF.—I was less startled by a robber story (a standing dish in Italy), in which my companion had himself played a part in the south of France. A robber stopped a diligence, and stripped all the travellers of their ready money while eight of his comrades were seen behind some bushes with their muskets levelled. When the thief had secured his booty, it was found that the dreaded eight were merely scare crows dressed up for the occasion.—Raurner's Italy and the Italians. PORTSMOUTH.—TIIe three port flag-ships, namely, the Britannia, 120 ; Ilewe, 120 ; and Royal - Adelaide, 120, are rapidly getting ready for sea, and are only delayed by the want of more hands. The Medea steam-frigate, Commander Warden, and Vesuvius steamer, Commander Henderson, are fitting out with all despatch at Chatham, it is reported for the Mediterranean. The Stromboli steamer, Commander Williams, left Spithead on Sunday, under orders to join the fleet in the Mediterranean as soon as possible. She took out, for disposal among the ships, a detachment of 300 marines, under the orders of Colonel M`Callum. Although se v er a l ships are ready for commission, no orders are yet received to hoist the pendant, nor is it expected until the return of the admiralty to London.—Brighton Gazette. MARRIAGE SEPARATION.—In our last number was re corded the marriage of an eminent divine (D.D., a fellow of some standing in one of the smaller colleges of this univer sity, and formerly connected with a large educational esta blishment in the metropolis) with a lady of a highly respect_ able family in this county. We hear, with great concern, that an almost immediate separation took place, under cir cumstances of a most painful and peculiar nature. The mys terious and unaccountable conduct of the reverend doctor has given rise to great speculation, and it is confidently rumoured that the affair will give employment to the learned civilians in Doctors' Commons. —Cambridge Advertiser.—[The par ties referred to are the Rev. Richard Newton Adams, D.D., vicar of Rempston, near Nottingham, and Miss Martindale, of Sawston.—Leeds Mercury. DISSENTERS' DEGREES.—Every one who has observed the eagerness with which preachers seise upon the academical honours of Aberdeen and America, will justly estimate the good sense and gentlemanly feeling of the Rev. R. Newton, the president of the Wesleyan Conference, who, after run ning a course of unparalleled popularity in the United States in the early part of the present year, refuses to avail himself of the " D.D." which was sent to him by the first packet after his departure from New York. It is a fact not gene rally known, that neither Dr. Hannah nor Dr. Bunting would have availed themselves of this peculiar distinction, had they not been publicly chronicled as " doctors" before they were aware of the honour intended for them.—Hull Times. The Peteral packet, Lieut. Cro o k e , w hi c h left Falmouth on the 3d instant for the W est Indi es , i s t h e first one by the new route, with the island mails, providing the commanding officer at Barbadoes is prepared, by having three steamers at hand. The.mail-boats are, under thi s arrangement, to be done away with. The following is an abbreviated statement : The packet from Falmouth will make Barbadoes its first place of arrival, as heretofore, deliver the mails for the steam-packets, and proceed to St. Lneia, land th e ma i l, and go on to Martinique, Dominica, Gaudaloupe, Antigua, ! Mont serrat, Nevis, St. Kitt's, Tortola, St. Tlion!as s, St. J uan (Porto Rico), and Cape Henri (Hayti), the final port of de_ parlous, as by the former regulation. Mr. Edwin Landseer, R.A., is gone to Germany for the recovery of hie health. The subscription for erecting a monument in honour of the late Earl of Durham amounts to £2OOO. Mr. Murchison has arrived in England, after an extensive geological survey of Russia. He is now on a visit to the Archbishop of York, at Bishopthorpe. A man died the other day in the prison at Ghent, who had been confined there 42 years, having been condemned in 1798 for robbery with violence on the high road. VFNEIZAILIL TABBY.—A cat, belonging to Mr. Herbert, a baker, residing in Charlton, near Cheltenham, died a few days ago, at the advanced age of twenty-five years. There is now growing in the garden of Mr. Bowes, Kes wick, an apple tree in full bloom. The tree was one of the earliest in leaf, and the blossom only made its appearance last week. • ANTI-MALTIMSTAN.—Died, on the 3d of September, in the 87th year of his age, Mr. Marmaduke Aspinall, of Stain land, stone-merchant. He has left behind 250 descendants ; ♦iz., 12 children, 97 grandchildren, 138 great grandchildren, and 3 great great grandchildren.—Halfax Guardian. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE.—There is now growing on the farm of Mr. Lewis Prosser, Trodyrhue, in the parish of Llanthetty, Breconshire, 60 stalks or straws produced from one grain of oats, and each straw carries 80 grains, yielding in all 4800 grains. Height of stalk, six feet six inches.— Merthyr Guardian. A PROLIFIC BEAN.—Mr. Jarvis, of the New Inn, on the Hitchin road, has in his possession a bean, grown in his field, only three feet long, which has the immense number of 170 pods on it, and there is no doubt it would have had many more if it had been left in the field as one part of it is in full bloom.—Cambridge Chronicle. On Thursday one of the workmen on the railway near Howwood, of the name of Mathieson, attempted to cross it near Elderslie, immediately in front of a train which was running eastward. He had, however, miscalculated his own agility and the speed of the train, and was struck by the buffer of the engine, thrown backwards and killed.—Glasgow paper. One day last week, while the workmen on the Glasgow and Ayr railway were blasting a piece of rock near How wood, one of their number, supposing that the match had been extinguished in consequence of the explosion not taking place so soon as usual, approached the spot to ascertain the fact, and at that moment the rock blew up, and the unwary workman was killed on the spot. CONSERVATIVE DlNNER.—Arrangements have been made for holding the Cheltenham annual dinner on the 6th Octo ber ; the industrious and staunch conservative member for the eastern division, C. W. Codrington, Esq., will take the chair on the occasion. We say staunch, because it gives the lie to the various reports which have been circulated by the paid hirelings of the whig press, that the Duke of Beaufort, who is the father-in-law of Mr. Codrington, was turning a whig, and that he was likely to accept the office of Viceroy of Ireland?—Chettenharn Chronidle. Two concerts of rather a novel, description were given at the Literary and Philosophic Institution, on Thursday and Friday week, by a blind gentleman named Watson, who per formed on no less than five different instruments at one time, by the aid of his mouth, hands, and feet—namely, two her monicons, two first violins, and a violoncello, the bow of the latter being fastened to his right foot. He also performed on the psaltery and musical glasses. Mr. Watson's perform ance was at once curious and interesting. —Cheltenham Chronicle. THE CLYDE AND LONDON WATERMEN.—We have heard no more of this anticipated match ; it will he recollected that Coombes and his party challenged the Clyde to row them on their own river, £250. to £200., and when we were at Liver pool there appeared some hopes of the match being made. 'We hear, however, that a copper four oared boat is being built for the Clydeinen, and there is some talk of a London waterman being engaged to show them how the Thames men manage to " pull through" a race triumphantly. This looks like business, and it is not too late for a match.—Bell's Life. Among the particulars which are to be ascertained by the persons appointed to take the Census of 1841, are the ages of all inhabitants of both sexes. We expect that the indivi duals to whom this duty is to be entrusted will meet with some rebuffs in the course of their inquiries among the ladies. We confess that we do not envy them this part of their job. In reference to this matter, it may not be amiss to quote the following paragraph from an American paper : " The man appointed to take the census of Pawtucket, Mas sachussets, experiences the greatest difficulty in ascertaining the ages of the girls, none of whom plead guilty to over twenty-four. In one family he found no fewer than nine, all between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-four !" IMPORTANT TO AGENTS AND TRADERS.—By the 49th section of the statute 7 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29, for amending the laws relating to larceny, &c., it is enacted, " That if any money, or security for the payment of money, shall be en trusted to any banker, merchant, broker, attorney, or other agent, with any direction in writing to apply such money, or any part thereof, or the proceeds or any part of the proceeds of such security, or any purpose specified in snch direction, and he shall, in violation of good faith, and contrary to the purpose so specified, in any wise convert to his own use or benefit such money, security, or proceeds, or any part thereof respectively, every such offender shall be guilty of a misde meanour, and being convicted thereof, shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be transported beyond the seas for any term not exceeding fourteen years nor less than seven years, or to suffer such other punishment by fine or impri sonment, or by both, as the court shall award." VALUABLE EXCHANGE.—A surgeon, residing between this town and Manchester, took his pony to Turton fair with the intention of selling it, or making an exchange, as it did not exactly suit his purpose. The pony was worth £l2, and shortly after he had arrived at the fair, a bargain was struck, and he paid a sovereign in exchange for "a prime un as ever run afore a tail :" nay, so excellent was it that the parties could not even afford to give the gentleman a shilling out " for luck." In a few minutes afterwards, two men came up to him with the astounding information that the horse had got glanders, that they "never seed one wur blondurt," and if he did not take it out of the fair they would shoot it, because they could " ston to do it by law." He felt quite alarmed, and whilst ruminating upon his misfortune, two other men, no doubt of the same party, came up to him, and also threat ened to shoot it, but if he liked, as he had made such a bad bargain, they would give him the price of the bide for it. This was ultimately agreed upon, giving them a shilling out of a sovereign " for luck ;" go that the'gentleman returned home minus his pony and a shilling by the two bargains. EXTRAORDINARY Fisx.—A friend in Fortrose has kindly given us information of a very extraordinary wonder of the deep, that was lately caught in that neighbourhood. We feel ourselves quite unable to describe the monster without the aid of a cut, but subjoin the observations of our friend : " The fish made its way through the water quite on edge, and, as you will soon perceive, must have invariably required about seven feet depth of water to swim in. When caught it weighed exactly two hundred pounds—is of an oval shape. The length, from stem to stern, if I may use the expression, was four feet ; the breadth, at the broadest part, two and a half feet, and eight inches thick. The colour of the skin all over is a darkish grey, and of the sea-dog-tail roughness ; the fleshy side pure white, and when cut through with a pen-knife, has the appearance of the finest polished ivory, apparently nowise oily—neither is the fish when boiled ; it is as white as chalk, but not quite so dry, which induces me to think it belongs to the family of turbots. I can get no one to give it a name. The head and mouth small • the eyes and entrails as large as those of a horse, and not unlike them. There is a small fin behind each eye; but what is meat re markable, is a dorsal fin, two feet high, and a corresponding one opposite, on the lower side, also two feet, and no tail; termination quite round. These, with the breadth of the body, make feet, and when at full play, must require that depth of water to swim in. It struggled a long time before it died."—For the gratification of the curious, we_are ena- bled to exhibit a piece of the marine gentleman's hide at this office. It is more than an inch thick, possessed of a beauti ful polish.—lnverness Courier. A DOMESTIC FROG.—In Silliman's Journal there is an account of a frog,_ in a perfect state of domestication, in the possession of Dr. William Rools, of Kingston. It appears that the lower offices of his house are what are called under ground, on the banks of the Thames. This little reptile accidentally appeared to his servants emerging from a hole in the skirting of the kitchen, and for the first year withdrew on their approach. From their kindness, however, and from their partaking of food given to him, he gradually acquired habits of familiarity, and during the following three years regularly came out every day, particularly at meal time, and partook of the food given to him by the servants. One of the most remarkable features of his artificial state of exis tence was his strong partiality for warmth, as during the winter he regularly (contrary to the coldblooded tendency of his nature), came out in the evening, and directly made for the hearth, in front of a lgood kitchen fire, where he would continue to bask and enjoy himself until the family retired to rest. There happened to be, at the same time, a favourite old domestic cat, and a sort of attachment existed between the two incongruous inmates ; the frog frequently nestling under the warm fur of the cat, whilst the eat appeared ex tremely jealous of interrupting the comforts and conveni ences of the frog.—American. Tux ARCIIIMEDES.—This vessel, which has created so much public attention, from her being propelled by an Ar chimedean screw, was on Thursday hauled into the King's Dock at Rotherhithe, to undergo repairs. It appears that, during her recent voyage off the coast of Holland, she struck a shoal of rocks, which caused a large break in her keel. She was got off with great difficulty, and the hole tempararily se cured with canvass. The repairs will only occupy a day or two, when the Archimedes will be again ready for sea. Her performances during the last few months have given the ut most satisfaction to the proprietors and those who have in terested themselves in this invention, the superiority of which to the paddles now in use is apparent to the most casual ob server, and must ere long induce its being generally used in rivers and small streams. SINGULAR DIRECTIONS.—A few years ago a letter with the following directions actually passed through the Neweut post-office. It was from an old woman in :Newent to her niece in the Forest of Dean, whose name atter marriage she did not know—" To wun Nanney Zindrey, as wuz wen a wuz singul, but now a his married to a mon in the Colepits and livz at the lee hula Bayby Hill."—A young lady, a friend of the writer of this paragraph, a few years ago; was spending a short time at a farm called " the Razes" in the parish of Bosbury : a butcher, from Ledbury, who had been buying some stock from the farm; drunk tea at the house. The young person alluded to, asked the butcher for the loan of some books which she knew he had. He was too modest to enquire her name, but observed that she did not take sugar n heir tea. Accordingly, on the morrow the books were sent, directed as follows :—" To the young lady at the Resses that dussunt Shuggau.l in hal. Tay."—Glouaester Journal. PRISON DISCIPLINE. — The act of the 2d and 3d Vic., c. 56, " for the better ordering of prisons," has been altered by an act passed last session. By the former act, prisoners were directed to be divided into classes, of which debtors were to form the first, and rules were to be made with respect to them, besides the rules and regulations then existing. The present act repeals those provisions as to debtors, and declares it to be expedient " that such of the rules and regulations only be observed and applied in regard to the first-class prisoners as shall be made by the persons authorised by lavr,to make rules and regulations for the government of the said gaols and pri sons, and approved of by one of her Majesty's principal se cretaries of state." By this change in the law a great many inconveniences which debtors in county gaols were put to, on the coming into operation of the former act on the Ist January last, will be removed. The 3d section, in the following words, gives, it will be seen, the judge before whom a pri soner is tried the power of ordering him to be confined with a particular class ; and be it enacted, that in every prison in which debtors may be lawfully confined, the persons autho rised by law to make rules and regulations for the govern ment of such prison, shall, with the approval of one of her Majesty's principal secretary of state, make such rules, orders, and regulations for the management of the debtors confined therein as shall by them, from time to time, be re garded as fit and necessary ; and that in every gaol, house of correction, bridewelh and penitentiary in England and Wales, h p a ri r s d or l i a e b r n s u c rr s v h ic a t l e l d of misdemeanors, bediy idedintnat and not sentenced easttwndivisinns, to one of which shall be called the ' first division,' and th a t se parate and that ru theles n u l d e s enactedgulti o n b s y shallthesaid be macatd for e for .th_ e each ga d division ; ses sion of Parliament shall not app l y to the said firat _division ; and that whenever any person co nvic t ed of misdemeanor and regulations ea shallsh a be ee lawful sentenced r theto imprisonmentcourt g ewi beforethout whhanrtn such per son d labou r , it c shall have been tried, to order , if suchncnofiunretdowritjhudthgee shall think fit, that such person shall b e prisoners w n of nn the ann saidsuch order first s divisionshall b e ; a d a e n d shall no prisonrespect inger ed w with h the prisoners of the said fret division." The foundation stone of a new church was kid at Beacon Hill, near Bath, on Monday. The Duke of Richmond lately offered one hundred guineas for a ram lamb, which was refused by the breeder. PROGRESS OF MATHEWISM.—A teetotaller, who was lately presented with a medal by the apostle of temperance, was seized last week for selling unlicensed whiskey in the neighbourhood of Castlecomer.—Dublin Evening Mail. The Great Western left kingroad, Bristol, on Saturday afternoon, for New York. Among the passengers she carries out is Mr. Jaudon, who ha t s acted, -for the last three years, as agent in this country for the Bank of the United States. On Thursday last as some railway workmen were employed in digging up the road leading from Bathampton to the Old Ferry they discovered, at about seven feet below the surface, three skeletons-4wo laid- side by side, and the other placed at a distance from them of about seven feet. In the breast of the latter was an iron shot whighing about lilbs.—Bath Chronicle. Tin GOODWOOD SatzLn.—The Duke of Orleans has made a present . to the Paris Jockey Club of the magnificent silver shield which was the prize won by his Royal Highness's horse Beggarman at the Goodwood races. It is thirty-two inches in diameter, weighs more than 450 ounces, and is 500 guineas in value. On Monday last, an enormous pike, being three feet nine inches in length, one foot nine inches in circumference, and weighing 301b5., was taken in the Blenheim Water. This splendid fish has been presented by the Duke of Marlborough to the Ashmolean Museum, and will form a striking addition to the river fishes already in that collection. It is now in the hands of Mr. Wheeler, of Beaumont Buildings, who will no doubt, preserve* same with his usual ability.-o.rford Herald. BARNSLEY.—The weather during the past week has been beautifully fine, and the farmers on every side have been very active in getting together their crops in the best possible condition. To the south of that place nearly the whole of the grain has been secured, and• should we be favoured 'with a few more bright sunny days, the harvest, by the blessing of Divine Providence, will be quite finished. The Moor Edge farmers have at times had slight showers, but on Wednesday morning it fell in torrents.—Leeds Intelligencer. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday, a very distressing accident happened between Wortley and Sheffield. It ap pears that on the above day, a respecable farmer in that neighbourhood, whose name has not reached us, was cutting a thorn hedge, after which he lit a fire to burn the cuttings ; going away for a short time, he returned again, and on ob serving the flames approaching too near the hedge, as he imagined, he took up a hay fork, and ran to remove the thorns, and melancholy to relate, in doing so, there was a little boy in the way whom he did not observe in the smoke, and the grains of the fork pierced his head in such a way that he died shortly after.—Leeds Intelligencer. BARTON.—The dreary seven o'clock bell, as it is called in Barton, has again commenced knolling • it is rung between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, from the entrance of the first load of barley into the town (or rather Barton field) until Shrove Tuesday.' It is said that, in times gone by, a certain old lady lost herself near the town, but found her bearings by the casual ringing of the church bell, and appro priated a piece of land to compensate the parish clerk for the time being for ringing the bell as above-mentioned ; it is cer tain that the clerk holds a fat piece of land on this tenure. — Hull Times. COMMODORE CHARLES NAPIER. C. B.—A pension of £l5O per annum has been granted to Captain Napier for the following service :—Assisting at the reduction of Martinique ; attacking and taking a Sicilian convoy off Palinuro; landing and joining in the military operations at that place ; attack ing and taking the port of Sapri. The island of Pot= was captured under his direction ; he served in North America, under Sir James Gordon, in the river Potomac, in which enterprise he was wounded. He was promoted ieutenant, Nov. 30, 1805 ; commander, Nov. 30, 1807 ; captain, May 2, 1809. Appointed to the Powerful, 80 guns, January 1, 1839. Amongst the passengers who have just left Havre for New York, is Mrs. Sutton, the American Prima Donna, who has returned from Italy. She is accompanied by her husband. Whilst singing at the opera at Lologna, Mrs. Sutton had the good fortune to be heard by Rossini, who was so delighted that, on the following day, he wrote a letter to her, in which he says—" You are. destined to a most brilliant theatrical career. Happy is America in having first produced such talent." Donizetti, who heard her in a private party in Paris last week, wrote a letter to her, in which he says—" I am certain that America is weaving for you the crown which you so well merit." CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—A family of the name of Hartill, residing at Dudley, have for the last two years been in a state of great despondency, in consequence of their son William, a boy about 15, leaving home in January, 1838, and making every inquiry, could hear nothing respecting him, and concluded some misfortune had befel him, when luckily last Saturday night his father dreamt he was at a certain house, about two miles from Wolverhampton ; such was the impression that he started off on the Sunday morning, and sctually found him at the precise place he had been dream ing of, and brought him home, to the great surprise of his poor almost heart-broken mother.—Kidderminster Messenger. Tus NEW BISHOP ov CHICHESTER. — The father of the new bishop was the Rev. H. Shuttleworth, vicar of Preston and also of the parish of Kirkham. Dr. Shuttleworth was born in Preston, and received the rudiments of hig education at the Corporation Grammar School, in this town. It used to be the boast of old Master Shepherd, who taught writing and arithmetic at this school, that he could count amongst his scholars an earl, (Derby) a baronet, (Houghton) and a judge, (Thompson) but never a bishop. Had the old gen tleman lived to this day, he would have attained the summit of his ambition, Dr. Shuttleworth having been amongst the later class of his pipils, A resident of Puckington, near Ilminster, hearing.that his bees were more than commonly noisy, and very busy, watched their proceeding, when he discovered that they were actively engaged in killing the drones and throwing them from the hive. His attention was presently directed to a still more extraordinary fact, for underneath the stool upon which the hive rested, he observed a large toad eagerly devouring the drones as fast as they fell to the ground; when two came together, the toad placed his paw upon one of them till he had eaten the other ; and when any time elapsed before one fell to the ground, he would apparently hearken and look upwards in eager anticipation of a further supply.—Chard Union Gazette. TELE TIILED NunsE.—On Wednesday an inquest was held in Londen, before Mr.'Wakley, to investigate the circum stances attending the death of Margaret Cutler, aged 39, an inmate of the workhouse of St. James's, Clerkenwell.—Ann Collins, nurse of 25 ward in the workhouse,_ said, that the . . deceased was an inmate of that ward, and had been so about four years. She had been ill about a twelvemonth. The last week she was very poorly. , She made no complaint, but on Friday morning, about six oclock, witness found her on the bed dead, but did not state to any oue that she was dead. She was not undressed.--Coroner : When did you first give information that she was dead ?—Witness : On the Saturday morning, between eight and nine o'clock.—Coroner : 26 hours after she was dead ?—Witness : Yes. I was so fa tigued that I did not make a report.—The jury returned a verdict that the deceased was found dead, but that the cause of death was unknown. The jury, at the same time, ex pressed their disgust at the conduct of the nurse. INTELLIGENCE OF RUSSELL MAGISTRATES. — The Stock port Advertiser contains the following paragraph, elegantly revealing the estimation in which the acquirement of modern languages is held by the Russell magistrates of that whig ridden borough. One of the magistrates has recently had the honour of knighthood conferred upon him, and we pre sume it is he who gave the direction mentioned in the last sentence. " On Monday, a Genoese, or Italian, whose name was given in .as Pietro Picquette, was brought before our Borough Justices, on a charge of vagrancy. The policeman, Longson, stated the case, but when the defendant was called upon for his defence, he spoke his own vernacular. The Justices looked aghast—none of them had received lessons in the foreign languages—and none of the old county magistrates were present. Sergeant Hough was desired to become in terpreter; but even his pompous demeanour failed to wring one single word which the Court could understand, except ': Manchester.' In vain did the Sergeant attempt to hold intercourse in English with the foreigner, who replying in Italian, left the officer in a dilemma. Pietro was at once discharged ; and the policemen were directed not to appre hend anybody who could not speak plain English." HEAR.Nn V. STOWELL. — According to our promise, we give the evidence of the priests who were exam►ned in this case in full, and several testimonies from clergymen, who have been in Ireland, of the fact of such penances being im posed. In Ireland similar proofs would be quite unnecessary, as there is not a day but ocular demonstration can be had of the fact. Indeed, we need not go farther than five miles from this city. At St. Shenan's Well, Doonas, those peni tential visitors may be seen every day in the year going round this holy well, performing penance on their bare knees, from which they rise generally iacerated, according to the extent of the penance, and having left their votive offering of a piece of rag, or, snore generally, a wooden bowl, of which there are hundreds on the spot, they depart. Our English breth ren cannot credit such doings, but we can assure them they are so common in Ireland as not to excite the least surprise in the spectators. The evidence of father Crooke is as pretty an illustration of the Romish doctrine of oaths as we have read for a long time, and as it seems to the people of England judging by the comments of the English press thereon, to tally irreconcilcable with their ideas as to the sanctity of an oath, we shall probably furnish them in our next with some extracts from the recognised theological works and canon laws of the Church of Rome, which have stood good friend s to Father Crooke in his hour of trial.—Limerick Standard HORRID CASE OF POISONING.—A most suspicious case of an attempt to poison a whole family took place at Lindley, near Huddersfield ; the intended victims were Josh. Dyson ; his wife, and four children : he is a weaver by trade. On the previous evening the wife was making porridge for the family's supper, when an old woman of the neighbourhood named Sarah Morton, who bears the character of a miser, and who is in the habit of •picking, up every kind of filth which she carries in her' pockets, and is otherwise of a doubtless cha racter, came in, and observing how she was employed, the wife, Mrs. Dyson, remarked she should be forced to make porridge again in the morning for breakfast, as she had no bread baked. On the departure of the old woman, the eldest boy, a lad of about 11 years of age, observed to his mother that old Sally had dipt her hand in the meal jar, she being in the habit of helping herself to any thing at every opportunity ; the mother, however, took no particular notice at the time, and on Wednesday morning made the porridge for breakfast, of which they all partook, and soon after the whole family were seized with sudden violent illness, which continuing to increase, medical aid was sent for. The doctor administered emetics to the whole of them, who, with the exception of the husband vomited freely, the latter was a considerable time before he was relieved. The surgeon examined the oven and found some corrosive sublimate of mercury on the oven plate, and he took the emetic to examine, which he found to con tain the same deadly ingredient; he also took some of the porridge which had been left, and carried it to Huddersfield to analyse, and it was likewise found redolent of the same. The old woman was conveyed to Staniland and her house searched, but as nothing could be found to substantiate any charge against her she is now at liberty. The family are in a fair way of recovery, but we hope a searching inquiry will be made into this moist mysterious occurrence.—Leeds Intel ligencer. • • • THE MOCK RECTOR.—At the Oldham petty sessions on Monday last, (before J. Horden and E. Hibbert, magistrates) George Crowther, a commercial traveller, was charged with being drunk, riotous, and disorderly, at the Chorister public house, Henshaw-street, Oldham. It was stated that in the forenoon of Monday, he rode his horse into the lobby of the above public house, and demolished a number of squares of glass, besides annoying the publican. Mr. Absolom Wrigley. A short time previously, he had been at the Albion Inn, and destroyed a number of glasses, he had also been at other public houses, and gone on in a similar manner. On being asked what he had to say, the defendant spoke in a rambling way, and conducted himself as if insane. He several times spoke of being rector of Middleton, alluded to the part he had taken about six years ago, in a remarkable case, for which he was punished, for having in one of his sprees at Middleton, where he had united a couple under pretence of being rector of Middleton. He is described as being a well-known tra veller for a malting concern at Mirfield, Yorkshire, and was accompanied in Oldham by a man, who gave his name as Joseph Dawgill, and who enacted the part of a squire to the hero. The two adventurous rakes had ridden into the church yard at Oldham a few minutes previous. Both were con victed in the damages and costs, and required to find two sureties each in £lO, with 24 hours' notice of bail, not being able to find bail, they were committed to the Now Bailey.— Bollon Chronicle. &bipping ',fatclligrucr.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, SEPTEMBER 16, The forthcoming public sales to be held on Thursday next have interrupted all business by private contract. The following will be brought forward :-2000 bales Australian and Tasmanian, 300 Spanish, 40 Capes, 30" Austrian, 500 East India, and 500 bales of other sorts. Imported this week, 293 bales; previously this year, 2,895 bales ; total, 43,198 bales. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 16. The number of beasts to-day was decidedly less than last week, and being hardly equal to the demand, both middling and prime beef were fully as dear. Of sheep and lambs the shew was nearly 1000 fewer than on this day se'nnight, and prices of both mutton and lamb were in consequence higher. There was nothing left unsold, except the very ordinary sorts of beasts and sheep. Beef, 6d to (Sid ; middling, sid to 6d; mutton, 64 to 7d ; ewes and middling, 54 to ad ; and lamb 64 to 7d per lb. sinking the offal. ------------ LIVERPOOL_PROVI§ION MARKET, Stn.. 17. The London people are anxious to increase their stock of Butter, ana have for this purpose purchased heavily in Ireland. This circumstance has been an incitement to speculators to " get on" in this market, but they have been met with extreme coolness on the part of regular importers. Our last quotations are spiritedly sup ported, and the probability is, that in our next report, we shall be enabled to place the currency of " Lot Belfast" at 100 s. There is very little pickled Butter here,-948 appears to be the price at which most holders are limited,—but we understand 93s would be taken for delivery from the next steamer. Nothing at all of importance doing in provisions. " Wars- and rumours of wars " makes no impression upon the nerves of purchasers. Bacon continues to be supported in price, with a good demand. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 15 Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour, from foreign ports, have been pretty considerable, but from Ireland and coast. ways they are very moderate; and having had frequent heavy showers all over this district, the operations of harvest have pro gressed slowly, but as the temperature has been cool, and drying winds have occasionally prevailed, it is probable that the crops, still out, have not sustained much injury. Notwithstanding the release from Bond for home use of nearly the quantity of Wheat and Flour stated in our last circular, the demand has been very good throughout the past week, and the prices of both articles have been very fully supported; in some instances a little increase has been demanded by many of the im - porters, seeing that the duty is again advancing; these has been a great dulness in sales of all other articles in the Corn trade, at about our quotations. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports is since Friday increased to 6s ad per qr, and on Flour to 4s o : id per brl, which will be paid on some large parcels which have since arrived, apprehensive of a further advance in the duty next Friday, there is no alteration in the duties on any other article; the value of bonded Grain is nominally as if free deducting the duty. At this day's market we have had a very good attendance of millers and dealers, who purchased to a fair extent of every article in the trade at about' the prices of this day week, except for Oats and Oatmeal, which were sold lower—ld to 2d per 451 b on the former, and is to 25 per . 2401 b on the latter. A little increase on the quotations of fine Wheat proceeds more from the superior qualities of old Wheat offered for sale, than from any actual ad. vance on this article. , WHEAT, per 701bs s. d. s. d.
