LITERARY NOTICES. Sailing Directions from Point Lynas to Liverpool, with Charts, Coast Views, River Sections, Tidal Courses, and Tide-Gauge Table for Navigating the Dee and Mersey, including the latest Alterations. By Commander H. M. Denham, R.N., F.R.S. Liverpool : J. &J. Maredsley ; London : R. B. Bate, Poultry. 1840. This is one of the most elaborate works of the kind that has ever fallen under our notice. It cannot fail to be appre ciated by all who arc interested in nautical affairs. It is the result of a series of laborious marine surveys and successful experiments, carried on during a number of years, under the immediate superintendence of Capt. Denham—a gentleman well known to all who arc interested in the commerce and navigation of the thriving pOrt of Liverpool. The surveys which he has made have materially extended our knowledge of this and the adjacent coasts, and of the channel entrances to our harbour. The long series of experiments which he carried on in the various channels leading into this port, has resulted in increased facilities of access to the river, and en abled him to suggest a number of improvements of the most important character, which we hope will be hereafter acted upon. It is no exaggeration to say, that Capt. Denham has done more than any other individual towards removing the difficulties presented in the navigation of the Mersey chan nels. His careful survey of the western coast, especially of that part in which the merchants of Liverpool are most deeply interested, has been eminently successful, and has secured for him the lasting gratitude of the public bodies of the town. The volume before us embodies the result of Captain Denham's laborious and praiseworthy exertions. The work is primarily designed for the instruction of mari ners ; but it contains many valuable suggestions which will merit the attention of the mercantile community at large. We have already laid before our readers a summary of Capt. Denham's suggested improvements. The letter-press part of the work before us abounds with copious and accurate instructions, whilst the plates and charts, &c., are beauti fully and elaborately executed. No merchant or captain connected with the port of Liverpool should remain content without possessing a copy of this excellent work. The Flower Fadeth. Memoir of Sarah J. I. W. Alexander, eldest Daughter of the Rev. M. S. Alexander. Written by her Father. Second Edition. London : B.Wertheim, 14, Paternoster-row. 1840. This is an affectionate tribute to the memory of a truly pious and beloved daughter, from the pen of the learned Professor of Hebrew and Rabbinical Literature in King's College, London. The subject of this interesting and in structive memoir, though young in years, was a mature Christian, rich in the graces of meekness, humility, and ardent devotedness to the cause of the gospel. The work is written in a style of great simplicity. This is calculated to render its perusal highly profitable to the young. It abounds in highly touching and affecting passages. The close of this young Christian's career was eminently triumphant. The appendix contains several very interesting letters addressed to the father on the occasion of his bereavement. We would particularly recommend this little book to such of our read ers as have young families. Christian Literature. A Course of Sermons for all the Sundays of the year. By Jeremy Taylor, D. D. Part I. Edinburgh: A. and C. Black ; Liverpool ; C. Davies and Co. This is another admirable addition to the series of works which we have already noticed with so much satisfaction. It is quite refreshing to meet with the nervous and vigorous works of Jeremy Taylor, among these re-publications of our standard theological authorities. We know of no author, in any language with which we are acquainted, whose produc ductions will sustain a comparison with those of the eloquent Bishop of Down and Connor, either as respects originality of conception, classical chasteness of style, boldness of thought, or gorgeousness of imagery. The sermons before us have been long celebrated as specimens of the most ele vated and impassioned oratory. They constitute the best exemplars that can be recommended to the young preacher; while their practical tendency, in the inculcation of religious duties, renders them of inestimable value to the private christian, for whose especial benefit they were originally composed. Horse Sacra , . A Manual of Prayers and Meditations for Prirate Use. London : James Burns, 17, Portman-street. This delightful little work constitutes an excellent pocket companion to the devotional christian. It contains a selec tion of meditations and ejaculations, prayers for every morn ing and evening in the week, prayers suited to the solemn commemorations of the church, prayers and thanksgivings suited to various occasions, meditations on select passages of the Holy Scriptures, godly resolutions, and some exqui site specimens of devotional poetry. The whole of these sacred exercises are extracted from the works of Bishops Andrews, Ken, Taylor, Patrick, Cosin, Wilson, Beveridge, Doane, Mant, and Heber ; and from the writings of Nelson, Kettlewell, Hickes, Spinckes, Becon, Southwell, Herbert, Keble, Grinfield, Norris, and Sandys. The whole of these extracts display a feeling of deep and fervent piety, and are, with some trifling exceptions, characterised by sound ortho dox opinions. The exceptions to which we have alluded are taken from authors who have too great a leaning towards the Laudian school of theology. Eucharistica. Meditations and Prayers, wills Select Pas sages, on the most holy Eucharist, from Old English Divines. With an Introduction by the Rev. Samuel Wil berforce. London : James Burns. We should have been better pleased if the work before us had been designated " A Companion to the Holy Com munion." We have a decided objection to the use of terms, in reference to the ordinance of the Lord's Supper, which savour in the slightest degree of Popery. A strict adherence to the rubrics and formularies of our truly Protestant Church would have obviated this objection. However, the venera ble author of this excellent compendium has, on the whole, been exceedingly judicious in his selections. The prayers and meditations are taken from the writings of Dr. John Cobet, Archbishop Cranmer, Bishop Jewel, Dr. Hooker, Bishop Andrews, Dr. Sutton, Archbishop Laud, Bishop Hall, Bishop Hammond, Bishop Jeremy Taylor, Archbishop Leighton, Dean Breviat, Bishop Patrick, Archdeacon Addi son, Bishop Ken, Bishop Sparrow, Bishop Beveridge, Dr. Hickes, Dr. Comber, Mr. Kettlewell, Bishop Wilson, and Archbishop Potter. Compiled as it is from such authors, it cannot fail to be a source of edification to the devout Churchman. The Protestant Sentinel. Published under the Direction of the Liverpool Protestant Association. No. I. We rejoice to see the friends of Protestant ascendancy so generally availing themselves of the powerful aid of the press in their efforts to stem the progress of Popery. The little publication before us is admirably calculated to aid the good cause, by disseminating information on those subjects which fall under the peculiar cognisance of Protestant associations. We shall be glad to find the Protestant Sentinel extensively circulated among the industrious classes, for whose perusal it is chiefly intended. The contents of the first number are peculiarly interesting. The Kitchen Garden ; with the best Methods for its Culti vation. By George Johnson. 3d Edition. London : Simpkin and Co.; Liverpool: Wareing Webb. This is one of the most useful works that has ever fallen into our hands. It ought to be in the possession of every one who has a patch of ground, fit for garden purposes, at tached to his residence. The author has carefully collected, condensed, and arranged all the information afforded by pre vious writers on the subject. Among the peculiarities of the work, we would particularly mention the arrangement of those plants and vegetables which require a similar soil and mode of treatment. This classification possesses very great advan tages, and considerably simplifies the task of reference. We may safely pronounce this excellent manual to be the most familiar and practical, as well as the cheapest work on the subject that can be procured. An Autumn Ramble by the Wye. By Louisa Ann Twamley, Author of " The Romance of Nature." With Twenty Engravings, from Drawings by Copley Fielding, David Cox, &c. London : Charles Tilt ; Liverpool : Wareing Webb. This is a delightful work, introducing us to some of the most lovely features of our native land. The plates, which are twenty in number, are exquisitely engraved. The vig nette affords us a view of a rich and park-like character, from Goodrich Old Court. Following this we have a ro mantic view near Rhaiadr, where the Wye is almost lost in the umbrageous woodland scenery —a view of the ancient castle of Chepstow with the adjoining bridge—another view, from a remote point, of the same delightful locality, with the majestic Severn in the distance—two views of Tintern Abbey, that gorgeous relic of ancient magnificence —a view of the lovely and secluded village of Brockweir—a distant view of Monmouth—together with views of Ragland Castle, Co'dwell Rocks, Ross, Goodrich Court and Castle, the city of Hereford, Hay, Built'', and Rhaiadr. Added to these, there are two well executed maps, showing the course of the Wye from Chepstow to Monmouth, arid from Monmouth to Ross. The scenery through which this river tlows, will bear a comparison with the most favoured spots on the continent. At every step the traveller who follows the meanderings of the Wye is reminded of the poetical descriptions of the far famed Vale of Tempe ; whilst every scene that meets Isis eye is replete with interesting historical associations. The fair writer who has condescended to become our guide through this romantic region of our fatherland has superadded the charm of her genius to the interest excited by its natural beauties. We long for an opportunity to set out upon an excursion along the banks of the silvery Wye, with this de lightful -volume as our companion. A New System of Domestic Cookery; founded on Princi ples of Economy, and adapted to the Use of Private Families. By Mrs. Rundell. 64th Edition. London : John Murray, Albemarle-street. 1840. This edition of Mrs. Rundell's popular work has been remodelled, and improved by the edition of nearly one thou sand entirely new receipts, suited to the present advanced state of the art of cookery, by the well-known authoress, .....—Eoltua Roberts. It is a perfect encyclopaedia of domestic .

Our " good lady," to whom the publisher has addressed the work for review, bestows upon it her most hearty commenda tions, as a multurn in parvo of all that appertains to the mysteries of cooking. Independently of the ample direc tions which it furnishes on this important subject, it contains copious instructions respecting the management of poultry, the dairy, and other matters of equal interest to the careful housekeeper. No young lady should be without this book. It should form one of the first presents from a lover to " his intended." A Brief View of the English Drama, front the Earliest Period to the Present Time. By F. G. Tomlins. Lon don : C. Mitchell, Red Lion Court, Fleet-street. 1840. We had great pleasure in noticing a former work from the talented pen of Mr. Tomlins, on " the Past and Present State of Dramatic Literature," to which the work before us forms an admirable sequel. The author has brought to his task a mind well stored with classical lore, and a taste culti vated by an acquaintance with the best standards of English literature. With such qualifications he could scarcely fail in producing a work entitled, as the one before us is, to the best consideration of every lover of the legitimate drama. He has introduced into the little tome under notice a mass of interesting information of an historical character, and offered many invaluable suggestions on the present condition of the dramatic art, with a view to its elevation and that of its professors. The subjects upon which he has dilated include the classical drama—the romantic drama—the modern drama—the state of the English stage—the metropolitan drama—the patent theatres—legal enactments affecting the drama—and a variety of other topics of the same character. WEST INDIA MAILS. The following is abridged from the contract entered into by the Admiralty, with the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, for the conveyance of the Mails to the West India Islands :— By the articles of agreement the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company are required to provide and maintain, in constant readiness, not less than 14 steam-vessels, of 400 horse power, and capable of carrying guns of the largest calibre now used on board of her Majesty's steamers ; and also four sailing vessels of 100 tons burthen. A steam-vessel is to start twice a month from some port in the channel, to be determined on by the admiralty, with the mails to Barbadoes, there remain six hours and proceed to Grenada, stay there twelve hours, then on to Santa Cruz, St. Thomas, Nicola Mole, in Hayti, St. Jago de Cuba, and Port Royal, in Jamaica. After remaining there 24 hours, to proceed to Savannah la Mar, in the same island, and thence to the Havannah. The steamer is to remain there 11 hours, and with the mails from home, return by Savannah la Mar, Port Royal, St. Jago de Cuba, and Nicola Mole, to Samana, in Hayti, (which is to be accomplished on the 22nd day after the arrival of the mails at Barbadoes,) and thence to England direct. The steamer from England is to meet with a similar vessel at Barbadoes, which will proceed with the mails to Tobago, Demerara, Berbice, and Paramaribo; there remain 48 hours, and return by the same route, with the exception of calling at Grenada. After leaving Tobago, this vessel is to arrive at Barbadoes in time for the next packet from England. On the arrival of the English mail at Grenada, it will be met by two steamers, one of which will proceed by Saint Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominico, Gaudaloupe, Antigua, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Kitts, Santa Cruz, Tortola, St. Thomas, Porto Rico, Samana, Curacoa, Porto Cabello, La Guayra, and Trinidad, back to Grenada in time for the next mail from England. The other steamers will proceed by Trinidad, La Guayra, Porto Cabello, Curacoa, Jamaica, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, Tortola, Santa Cruz, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua, Guadaloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent, back to Grenada also in time for the next mail from England. On the arrival of this last steamer at Curacoa, a sailing vessel is to start from thence to Santa Martha, and Cartha gena, there remain 24 hours, and return to Curacoa by the same route. On the arrival of the English mail at Nicola Mole, in Hayti, a sailing vessel is to proceed with the Bahama mails by Crooked Island and Rum Island, to New Providence ; there remain 72 hours, and return by the same route to Nicola Mole, in time to meet the steam vessel from Jamaica. On the arrival of the English mails at Port Royal, another steam-vessel is to proceed to Chagres, and return by Car thagena and Santa Martha to Port Royal, in time to meet the return mails from Havannah. At Savannah la Mar a sailing vessel will take on board the mails for Trinidad de Cuba and Belise, there to remain 48 hours, and again return to Savannah la Mar by Trinidad de Cuba. At Havannah three steamers will meet the English mail, one is to go round the Gulf of Mexico, by Vera Cruz, Tam pico, and Mobile, back to Havannah, in time for the next mail; another by Mobile, Tampico, and Vera Cruz, to Havannah, likewise in time for the next mail. The third is to proceed to Matanzas, New York, and Halifax, returning by the same route also for the next mail. At all places except those specified, the steamer remains no longer than to land or receive mails; and the Admiralty have power to alter the routes and time of staying, by giving three month's written notice to the company. The company is also required to make whatever improvements in the steam machinery, the Admiralty may direct. Provision is also made for the proper accommodation of a naval officer, who is to have charge of the mails, and a proper boat, with four oars, supplied for embarking and landing them. Delaying to start from England, or putting back, except by stress of weather, or unavoidable circumstances, is to be visited with a penalty of £lOO ; should the delay extend to 12 hours .f. 500 ; and a like sum for every additional 12 hours. Delays between all other places are to be paid for at the rate of £2OO for 12 hours. The naval officer in charge of mails is to have the power of surveying the vessel, and any repairs that he may suggest, which are not made good at the first opportunity, to subject the Company to a fine of £lOO ; and employing a vessel after improvements or repairs are ordered in her by the Admiralty, through one of the officers, will incur a penalty of £5OO ; all such fines to be deducted from the money payable to the Company. . _ • . Provision is also made for the conveying in each vessel, of not more than two naval, military, or civil officers, as cabin passengers, two persons as fore-cabin passengers, and ten seamen or marines, at two-thirds the usual passage money, besides sundry small packages from place to place, free of all cost. For doing such service, the Company is to receive £240,000 per annum, by equal quarterly payments, to com mence at the end of three months after the first steamer has started for Barbadoes ; and should war or any national cause increase the rates of insurance on these steam-vessels above £6 6s. per cent. per annum, the freight of coals above £1 2s. 6d. per ton, and the insurance on them above £2 2s. per cent, the Lords of the Treasury are empowered to grant an additional sum, according to circumstances, but not to exceed £60,000 per annum. The contract is to commence on the Ist December, 1841, but should it be agreed to perform a part of this service be fore that time, an allowance at the rate of £20,000 per an num, is to be made for each steam vessel employed. The whole contract is to continue 10 years, or longer ; but either party is to give twelve months' notice, in writing, before with drawing ; and the Treasury, in the event of war, have full power to employ the whole of the Company's vessels in any service they may think proper. For the proper performance of this Contract, the Com pany is bound in the sum of £50,000. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—There was a slight increase in the demand yesterday, consequent upon the re-opening of the canals, and the re-establishment of the communication with London, and a tolerable business was done in some descriptions of cloth for the home trade ; but in other respects, the market was flat, and prices continue to droop. ROCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 22. There is no improvement in the demand for flannels to-day, and the quantity of goods sold is about the sane as that of last Monday. In the prices there is no change. The wool market has been dull, and the sales limited. The price of fine wools is rather giving way._ _ HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 23.—Our report of this market last week was gloomy, and there is little change for the better. However, it is satisfactory to state, that prices are firm, and buyers are disappointed who expected to pur chase at a lower rate. The fact is, great caution is exercised in production, and prices have been so low for a long period, that the manufacturer will stop his works rather than submit to greater sacrifices. Even if wools fall, prices are not likely to recede; and should a favourable change take place, a rapid rise is anticipated. Sales in the hall are not extensive. To judge of the state of trade, we must look to the warehouses and shops, where a pretty extensive but almost profitless business is doing. Wools are heavy of sale at last week's prices. —Manchester Guardian. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANC H L E I v S E T R ER e o j t i ty ls y n A C T T JE. EVENING.

(From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette) It is not often that we have a subject to handle so full of gratification to our readers and ourselves as the one which has this day been brought before us. We allude to a circular we have seen accompanying a design for the erection of an institution for aged, decayed, or otherwise helpless merchant seamen, with collateral objects, of protecting - those who are in employment from crimps and " land sharks," and con stituting the whole, not a matter of charity, but a matter of property—a home and an hospital—a savings' bank and an insurance office—a right and a refuge for merchant seamen for ever. In the circular sketching this magnificent project, the in tended institution is denominated " A Second Greenwich Hospital ;" suggesting the notion that it is proposed to be for the merchant service what Greenwich Hospital has been and is for the King's service. We do not altogether approve of this comparison. The asylum of Greenwich is entirely elee mosynary, whereas that of the merchant seamen is to be suf ficiently proprietary to enable its inmates to feel the consci ous pride of having partly worked out their own comforts, to the exclusion of those whose imprudence or profligacy has disabled them from so doing. Moreover, Greenwich Hospi tal is in no way contributory to the other scarcely less excel lent feature, of protecting the seamen from the Jew and Gen tile scoundrels who lie in wait for them at every turn. As we perceive that the circular very modestly invites cri ticism, and solicits suggestions from friends to its benevolent and patriotic objects, we make these remarks in limine, being satisfied that under whatever name it may be called, or to whatever institution compared, the great national results that will naturally flow from it, and the support which all parties in the state will be likely to give it, are calculated to insure for it that success which it so eminently deserves. We do not know who the parties are to whom reference is made as having signified their approbation of the scheme, neither can we offer an opinion as to the plan of raising the capital for the building by the sale of terminable annuities. But no doubt the latter will be well considered before it be acted upon ; and as to the former—agreeing as we do with Lord Bacon, that " measures without men are dead images"— we hope soon to see such names advertised as will give the world assurance of success. We mean no reflection upon the names attached to the cir cular—on the contrary, we happen to know that the gentle man signing it has never failed in the public undertakings in which he has been engaged; and we anticipate that in this— the greatest and the best—all that ardent energy and un tiring perseverance can effect will he effected. The following is extracted from the circular : " PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS OF THE MERCANTILE MARINERS' HOME AND HOSPITAL. TO I3E ERECTED AND PROVIDED FOR IN THE FIRST INSTANCE BY A CAPITAL OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS, SUSCEPTIBLE OF A PERPETUAL INCREASE BOTH BY PROPRIETORS AND Do- Notts, OWNERS, AND SAILORS.—The great leading objects of this national undertaking are, to provide a second Green wich Hospital for seamen not in the royal service—to erect a species of insurance in life against age, illness, or accident — to offer an inducement, unparalleled in any other country, to our commercial mariners not to be tempted to enter into the service of America or other States, where no such provision is, or can be made—and, in an especial degree, to cultivate habits of prudence in those who hitherto have been prover bially imprudent, by offering them for a very small portion of those earnings (generally sacrificed to intemperance or to trickery) a noble institution, food, clothing, and lodging, of an adequate income to enjoy each; and the whole conferred, not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of property, being at once `The seaman's refuge and right.' " All these things are of easy accomplishment. The sailor, should he live to be fifty years of age, and have paid his quota of the insurance, may calculate on receiving at least ten times the value of the amount he has paid ; partly by the accumulations of compound interest—partly by the deaths of those who pay but do not live to enjoy—partly by the joint subscriptions of owners and merchants—partly by the contri butions of the patriotic and philanthropic, many of whom are ardently disposed to assist this institution—and generally from the nationality of its character and objects. " In addition to these sources of income and objects of utility, it is contemplated to add to the profits, and at the same time protect the mercantile seamen from those whom he most emphatically and most, truly calls land sharks,' by uniting the benefits of a saving bank and a loan institution to the other, and more important features of the plan. " It is proposed that a large proportion of the original ca pital shall be devoted to the erection of the building upon some site near the Thames, and that the whole of the pro prietary capital, amounting to £500,000 shall be raised by the sale of terminable annuities for sixty years, at seven per cent. per annum interest, redeemable at the market price, when above par, by the trustees of the institution at their option; and when the whole are redeemed, or have expired, the en tire property to belong to British mercantile mariners, and their successors, as a home and an hospital for ever. " It will be necessary in the construction of the building to divide it into classes ; hence, under the sanction and super intendence of the ablest and the best practical men, all dis orders will be avoided, and station and position in society will be preserved to meet the views, as well as to secure the comforts, of the occupants. " Parliament will be applied to for an act, or the govern ment for a royal charter to limit the responsibility of those who may take shares as proprietors. Of course, bequests, donations, or annual subscriptions, create no risk, and hence require no protection—the latter it is hoped will furnish a very large, and constantly increasing proportion of the funds of the institution, which, in addition to the small payments by the sailors themselves, who shall in all cases have a lati tude of at least two years to make up their deficiencies, will in time dispense with the necessity of proprietorship altoge ther. In 1900, if not before, the institution will belong to the nation. " These general views are thrown out for consideration and advice. The only grand principle which can never be de parted from is, a home and its comforts for aged, decayed, or disabled seamen not otherwise provided for. With thankful ness will any suggestion be received, and with cheerfulness adopted to alter and amend any part of the plan. Already individuals of distinction have expressed their determination to support the object by every means in their power. When a sufficient number to form a general committee have signi fied their adhesion to that object without being expected to adhere to the plan as sketched out, they will be called to gether, and asked to elect a council or board of management from among themselves of qualified members." ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. (From the Oxford Herald.) THE REV. J. BLACKWELL, B.A In the Herald of the 30th ult. we announced the death of the Rev. J. Blackwell, B.A. of Jesus College. We have since been favoured with the following account of the de ceased by a gentleman in this University :—ln 1823, Mr. Blackwell was presented to the Rectory of Manerdivy, by Lord Brougham, then Lord High Chancellor of England. The living was given him without any application on the part of Mr. Blackwell. His lordship, ever ready to patronize men distinguished for their talents, having heard of Mr. Blackwell's fame as a Welsh scholar, and also of his being an able, eloquent, and powerful preacher, was delighted in having it in his power to confer this benefice upon him. On receiving the presentation, Mr. Blackwell wrote an excellent letter of thanks to Lord Brougham, with which his lord ship was so pleased that he used frequently to speak of it among his friends with rapture of delight. Few could excel Mr. Blackwell as a letter-writer; and it was no wonder that shortly after writing to Lord Brougham. his lordship fixed upon him, and afterwards engaged him, to undertake the editorship of the Cylchgrawn, a Magazine, on the plan of the " Penny Magazine," published by the Society for diffusing useful knowledge. The Cylchgrawn was conducted with great ability ; and it will remain a lasting monument of Mr. Blackwell's great command of the Welsh language. His translations from the English are perfect models worthy of being imitated. They contain the purest Welsh ; and in them is not lost the spirit and vigour of the originals. In no modern publication is to be found language superior as to elegance of style or purity of diction. There is, it must be confessed, about his style of writing some kind of witchery that captivates the reader ; a something that pleases and delights him beyond the power of almost any other writer of the present day to do the like. Having formed a clear and correct idea himself, Mr. Blackwell could convey the same to others in words the most simple, choice, and appropriate that could be found. His sentences flow like a strong majestic stream, carrying the reader along with delightful pleasure. Not only did Mr. Blackwell succeed as a prose writer, but also as a poet. His national air to the tune Ar hydy nos; and his elegy on Bishop Heber are master pieces; and if some kind and patrotic friend would but un dertake to collect his poetical pieces together, with a selection from his many prose compositions and publish them, he would not only be paying a just tribute to his memory, but also be conferring a lasting obligation on all lovers of Welsh Literature. Mr. Blackwell was afflicted with long illness, first occasioned by too close an application to the Cylchgrawn, which, in addition to his parochial duties, gave him no time for recreation. Under his heavy afflictions, however. he ex pressed perfect submission to the will of Heaven, and evinced throughout great christian resignation. PROMOTIONS Rev. J.

The " Corporation of Bachelors" have a good opinion of themselves, to imagine that verily society is so very pleasant as to be worth forty guineas annually. We suppose, along with pleasant walks, Dens" and the " Garden of the Soul" will be afforded for meditation, and the worthy father to confess to —as it is a sine qua non that the Males must belong to the Church of Rome. Will our readers believe that we are acquainted with the " pleasant" residence, and that we are in possession of the name of the priest ? Such, however is the fact : " Board and Lodging.—One or two ladies may be accom modated in the house of a priest, situated in a country village between Liverpool and Manchester, where they will have pleasant society. There are pleasant malks adjoining the chapel. Terms—Forty guineas a-year. For further particu lars apply to R. Lynch, Bookseller, Back King-street , Man chester."—Wigan Gazette. MISCELLANEOUS. Prince George of Cambridge intends to visit Killarney next month. It not expected that her Majesty will visit Windsor again until the commencement of September. The King of the French his written an autograph letter to Queen Victoria, congratulating her on her escape. Sir De Lacy Evans has paired off with Lord Francis Eger ton from the Bth of J une to the Ist of July. The five girls born at one birth recently in Jersey are now exhibiting in Guernsey, at a franc a bead. Three translations of the Poems ,oaf Burns have been pub lished in Germany during the course of the present year. Seventeen vessels left Limerick for North America, be tween the Ist April and Ist May, containing 2450 emigrants. We hear that Macdonald, who rode the winner of the Derby, was lucky enough to take a bet of £lOOO to £lO on Little Wonder shortly before the race.—Brighton Gazette. We observe that his Royal Highness Prince Albert has cut off his moustache. This has created some surprise, since the Prince has accepted the command of a regiment of hus sars.—Morning Post. ORGANS.—So general is becoming the use of organs in parish churches, that there are at the present moment not fewer than 600 being built at the various organ-builders in Lctodon. It.- is said that the sum cleared by Mr. Dowton's benefit at the* Italian Opera House, after deducting the necessary expenses+, will not exceed £BOO, and the same amount has been raised by subscription. Mr. WarburtOn's new bill for medical reform contemplates the establishment of three boards, one for England and Wales, one for Ireland, and one for Scotland, to whom shall be confided the sole right of giving a legal privilege to prac titioners in medicine and surgery. We are glad to hear that for the future care will be given to stocking with game Windsor Park, and the grounds at tached to the Royal residence. It is said that the Duke of Buckingham has offered to present 100 brace of pheasants for that purpose. The pigeon which conveyed the result of the race for the Ascot Cup on Thursday to this paper (the Globe) was thrown from the window of her majesty's stand, and conveyed the news in twenty-five minutes, the distance being twenty-seven miles. The people of Bengal have flatly refused to send her Ma jesty an address of congratulation on her marriage, in conse quence of not having received any answer to the one they sent on her accession. —(More neglect at the Colonial Office.) LEWES.—The whig-radicals at this place are greatly in want of a candidate ; they have tried several, but cannot get any one to come forward. Mr. Blencowe, a magistrate in the neighbourhood, has been applied to, but that gentleman has also wisely declined. It may save some of our readers the trouble of sending let ters to the Foreign Office for transmission abroad, by being informed that the most strict orders have been issued by Viscount Palmerston prohibiting the forwarding of any 1 ri vate parcel or letter through the official bags.—Observer. The report, which has been so extensively circulated in military circles during the present week, and which has not yet been publicly contradicted, of the death of General the Hon. Edward Finch, Colonel of the 22nd Regiment, is with out the slightest foundation in truth. The mistress of a "first rate" establishment for young ladies in • Whitehead-grove, London, along with a soi-disant Captain Horton Claridge, her friend, have been convicted in £2OO, for keeping an illicit still. The hops are looking remarkably well in this neighbour hood. On those grounds where the vermin was found a fortnight ago, there is scarcely a trace ,pf them left. Other grounds are quite clear.—Kentish Gazette. Some exceedingly old and rudely formed printing types have been discovered at Mayence, and it is supposed by the antiquaries of the place that they belonged to some of the early printers, perhaps to Furthz or Guttenberg. _ _ _ The ,menerable John Q u i nc y Ad ams , a p res id en t o f th e United States, after the adjournment of the house of repre sentatives on the 18th ult., was tripped up by a straw mat ting, and thrown so violently as to break his collar-bone. REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF ABERDEEN.—The present liberal member for Aberdeen—Mr. Bannerman—is to be opposed by a Mr. Lindsay, who has long been a China merchant, and who is brought forward by the conservative party. REPRESENTATION OF BEDFORDSHIRE.—The Bedford shire Mercury states, that Lord Charles Russell has inti mated his intention of retiring from the representation of Bedfordshire at the next dissolution, and says that no other candidate is yet talked of. The Duke of Sussex was boasting the other day, in the presence of Lord Brougham, that he had 1123 Bibles in his collection, in every language and of every date, from the ear liest period. " And all of them uncut copies, I suppose," said the malicious wit. A gentleman at the Amber-gate station, the other day, in quired of a countryman the distance to Chesterfield. The rus tic having taken time to consider of his answer, replied, " Why, sir, used to be by land thirteen miles, but how far it is by steam I canna tell."—Derbyshire Courier. REDUCTION OF THE PACKET ESTABIISHMENT.—The re duction in the number of the packets, consequent on the American mails being forwarded from . Liverpool, by steam, instead of from this port, has commenced with H.M.B. Opossum, which vessel proceeded from this place on Thurs day last, for Plymouth, to be paid off.—Falmouth Express. There is this week growing in the garden of Mr. Joseph Cox, New Brewery, Brampton, a pear tree containing up wards of one hundred half-grown pears, and extraordinary as it may appear, the same tree is now in full bloom with a se cond blow, apparently equally as likely to produce fruit. ARMY IN IRELAND.—TotaI strength of the army in Ire land for June is as follows :—Royal Artillery, 827 rank and file ; four regiments of cavalry, 6th Dragoon Guards, 6th Dragoons, 12th Lancers, and 17th Lancers, 1,070 rank and file ; ten regiments of infantry, and 28 depots, 13,892. Total, 15,789.—United Service Gazette. CANADA CLERGY RESERVES.—From a return laid before the House of Commons, it appears that the total number of acres set apart for religious purposes, in Upper Canada, was 2,354,669: of these 500,433 acres have been disposed of, at the average price of 13s. Gid. per acre. There remain dis posable 1,828,290 acres, which Captain Pringle states may be reckoned, with great safety, worth £1,000,000 sterling. IRELAND.—Distress of the most appalling character is to be met with all over the south of Ireland. In Kanturk the poor are said to be dying by the road side for want of food. In the Queen's County meetings have been held in various places, to adopt measures to alleviate the distress. In Lime rick all is again quiet; but it is a singular fact that not a single person was seen to be in a state of intoxication during the two days' rioting. ANCIENT BRITONS.--At a meeting of the Royal Cambrian Institution, held last week at the Freemason s Tavern, the Marquis of Bute in the chair, the Earl of Powis was unani mously elected president, in the room of the late lamented Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., and the present baronet was elected a vice-president of the institution, which has for its object the preservation and publication of ancient records connected with the history of the ancient Britons. ROYAL Ex c ANGE.—The general court of the Mercers' Company met yesterday to receive the report of the Gresham committee (the mercers' side) on the subject of Mr. Tite's design for the New Royal Exchange. The report contained the recommendation of eleven out of twelve of the committee, that the design should be adopted. The court confirmed this recommendation by a very large majority, and referred it back to the joint Gresham committee, to carry the same into effect without delay.—Morning Chronicle. There is at present growing in the garden of Mr. Thomas Hartley, of Croft End, near Broughton-in-Furness, a brocoli of the amazing height of nine feet four inches, and 25 feet round the branches, several of which are seven or eight feet long! This gigantic production of the vegetable kingdom is now in full pod for seed, and has been visited by hundreds of people from all parts of the country, and many from a consi derable distance, who justly deemed it a great curiosity.— Carlisle Patriot. We understand that General Evans has been successful in his endeavours to put in train the payment of the British le gion. If such be really the fact, great praise will be due to his perseverance ; and we would recommend claimants, of whatever class they may happen to be, on foreign states, to discard at once, and for ever, the idea that they have any thing to expect fro►n the intervention of mere financial agents and contractors. They will do nothing for them.—Morning Post. EXTRAORDINARY BLAST.—The workmen at present em ployed by the Duke of Buccleugh at Boykine Craigs, in the parish of Westerkirk, near Langholm, on a trial for a slate quarry, have frequently been required to blow away part of the adjoining whinstone rock by means of gunpowder. A few days ago they had bored the rock to the depth of three feet, and charged it with about 2 lbs. of powder (not more), which, when it exploded, strange to say, lifted out a block of stone measuring al feet square, and threw it to the distance of 51 yards at a single bound. What renders this the more astonishing is, that the block was closely wedged in on all sides but the front, and the bottom was broken completely out of the solid stone. By the usual mode of calculation it cannot weigh less than 3i tons, and now lies on the spot where it was thrown out of the quarry for the inspection of the curious. —Dumfries Courier. PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS AT DAMASCUS.—We under stand that on Monday evening a meeting took place of all the influential Hebrews in London, at the vestry room of the New Synagogue, in St. Helen's-place, on which occasion the various letters which have been received from Alexandria And Damascus, containing accounts of the horrid cruelties corn nitted upon the unfortunate Hebrews at Damascus, were strictly examined ; and after a long discussion, Sir Moses Montefiore, on the part of the English Hebrews, and Mons. Cremieux, the celebrated counsellor at Paris, on the part of the French Hebrew persuasion, have agreed to depart in the early part of next week for Alexandria, to be present at the investigation to take place there in respect to the death of Father Thomas and his servant. Subscriptions were imme diately opened to defray certain expenses, when the three brothers of the late Baron de Rothschild, who were present, subscribed £2OO each ; Sir Moses Montefiore £lOO, his lady £lOO, besides paying his own expenses for the journey to Alexandria ; Isaac Cohen £lOO ; Mr. Lucas £lOO ; with nu merous other subscriptions. DEPARTURE OF GLENGARRY FOR NEW SOUTH WALES. —On Monday the fine large ship Perfect, Captain Snell, cleared out for Port Philip and Sydney, N. S. W., with 74 passengers, among whom are A. JEneas R. Macdonnell, Esq. alias Glengarry, who goes to the southern hemisphere, for the purpose of forming a new Glengarry settlement. He has ta ken a retinue of followers with him (not of warlike heroes, like his ancestors of old), consisting of shepherds and agri culturists of every description, capable of carrying all the improved methods of rearing cattle, and agricultural im provements, of the old to the new world. He takes oat splendid stock of all kinds of the far-famed Scottish cattle, and a vast number of the most approved agricultural imple ments, and a frame house or two. Glengarry, we under stand, lost his family estate through the reckless extrava gance of 'his father, and a short time since sold one of his own estates for a pretty handsome sum, with which he now goes•to Australia to play Glengarry on a more extended prin ciple than any of his forbears could do. After making a set tlement either in Australia or New Zealand, the chieftain in tends to return, and take all his tenants, and leave not a wreck of the retainers of the clan to stray on the lands of his fathers.—lt is not generally known, that the grandfather of Glengarry is the Fergus M`lvor of Sir Walter Scott in Waverley, and that the old chieftain met his death under the following circumstances :—The Glengarrys, headed by their chieftain, turned out and followed the fortunes and misfor tunes of Charlie in 1745 ; and among the other exploits par ticipated in by this clan, was the defeat of Sir John Haw ley's troops. The English threw away their muskets, and the Highlanders standing in need of arms, picked them up and took them home. The morning after the battle, while Glengarry and a group of his officers were standing on the streets of Falkirk, a young Dougal belonging to the clan, and who had become possessed of one of the English mus kets, put priming in the pan, so as he might see whether it was fit for service or not. The gun was loaded ; and no sooner had Dougal drawn the trigger than Glengarry fell dead, the muzzle having been accidentally pointed towards him. So great was the grief at the death of the well-beloved chieftain, that nothing would satisfy the clan but the life of the unfortunate Highlander. A regimental court-martial was held ; and every man of the clan, even the father and brother of Dougal, vo t e d f or his death', and he was accord ingly shot. Glengarry still retains the estates of Moidart. and Knoddart.—Glasgoto Chronicle. Obipping iEntelignre. TUESDAY, JUNK 23:—Wind West.

There has been a good demand for Cotton to-day; the sales ale 4,000 to 5,000 bags, including 500 on speculation; the market steady. . LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 25. The Butter market has for some diiys been extremely dull, and prices have a downward tendency —Beef and Pork in good demand, principally however for ship stores.—Bacon continues to move off freely at full rates. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 23. (From the Circular of Mew!. James Scott and Son.) Having in our circular of the 2nd instant, noticed that the motion of Mr. Villiers, for a " Consideration of the Corn Laws," was nega tived in the House of Commons, on the 26th ult. by a majority of 123, in a house of 477 members, we now think it proper to record the rejection of a similar motion of Earl Fitzwilliam, in the House of Peers, on the 11th instant, by a great majority; 127 members present, and 67 proxies against the motion, and 34 present. 8 proxies for it.—On this subject we can only repeat, and refer to the observa tions we made in that circular letter. During the past week the imports of Wheat and Flour from Foreign ports have been considerable; but of all Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastwise, they have been very mode rate; the weather, though not very forwarding, being rather cold and rainy, has continued pretty favourable for all agricultural pro duce, and the demand has continued to a fair extent for Wheat and Flour, at an increase in prices of 2d to 3d per 701 b. on most descrip tions of the former, and of 3d to 6d per barrel and per sack on the latter • while for all other articles our last quotations have been ob tained here and in all our surrounding markets. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has, as anticipated, been increased since Friday last to 18s titt per quarter, and on Flour to 115 22d per barrel; previous to which day, since the commencement of this mouth, duty was paid here on about 49,500 quarters Wheat, and on about 54,000 barrels of Flour, leaving still in bond here on the 18th instant, about 75,000 quarters of the former, and about 97,000 barrels of the latter, held over by many importers steadily, in the expectation of a speedy reduction of the duties, and under which prospect, also, a large quantity of both articles in bond has recently changed hands at a small advance ; there is no alteration in the duties. or in the value of other kinds of Grain. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of our own millers and dealers, and by many from distant markets ; the decline in London, yesterday, prevented any further advance in prices, and curtailed the demand, which would probably otherwise have oc curred, but sales were made to a moderate extent of Wheat and Flour, at about the advance above-noted ; and the first imports of Flour from Canada and Halifax found sales at 365 to 365 3d per barrel ; for all other articles the usual moderate demand occurred, with little or no variation in prices from last week.
