This number contains a large portion of extra matter, ex tending to twenty additional pages, and chiefly consisting of the interesting debate in the House of Lords on the Ecclesi astical Revenues Bill. The other contents of the number will be found very attractive. We have been greatly pleased with the remarks on " The Creed of St. Athanasius." They are truly sound and orthodox. " The Ministry of Angels" is a delightful paper, full of consolation to the faithful be liever.. The essay on " The Authorised Version of the Bi ble" is valuable in many respect. " A Tale of the Wal denses," and " Sketches of Continental Literature," are also calculated to edify and instruct. The letter on " The Pretensions of the Church of Rome" ought to be extensively circulated. We recommend its republication in the shape of a tract. The Village Churchman. August. London :W. E. Painter. The original papers in this excellent little magazine, as well as the selected matter, will be found of eminent service, especially to the humbler members of the Church of Eng land, for whose instruction and edification it is chiefly in tended. The " Memoir of Sarah Berry" is an affecting narrative, full of useful lessons. " The First Words of my Child" are both simple and beautiful. " The Village Churchman's Meditations" powerfully illustrate the advan tages of an established liturgy. The account of the " Pas toral Aid Society" is very interesting. The miscellaneous contents of the present number are peculiarly attractive The Protestant Sentinel. No. 2. Liverpool : Perris, Newling, Tollit, Taylor, and Davies ; London : F. Bais ler. We are extremely glad to find that this excellent periodi cal is obtaining an extensive circulation. It is calculated to render much service to the Protestant cause. The contents of the number before us are particularly interesting, espe cially the articles on " Popery as it is"—" A Conscientious Dissenter"—and " Roman Catholic Contrasts." Observations. on the Fourth Chapter of Revelations, being the Epistle for Trinity Sunday. By a Clergyman. Liver pool : Henry Perris ; London : J. Hatchard and Son. This excellent tract, apparently the first of a series, has been published with the view of subserving a truly benevolent purpose. The profits are to be appropriated to assist the Scripture Readers' Fund for All Saints' Church, in this town. It contains a full development of the fundamental doctrine of the Trinity, as deduced from a comparison of the Vision of St. John, the Cherubim of Moses, and the Cherubim of Ezekiel. The language is clear and intelligible throughout, while the arguments are relevant and conclusive. This little work ought to be extensively circulated. The Traveller's Handbook on the Rhine. London : Leigh and Co., 421, Strand This little work is a decidedly useful vade-mecum to the traveller on the " noble Rhine." The panoramic' map, by which. it is illustrated, shows the course of that river, from the sea to Schaffhausen. The letterpress gives a full and minute description of the towns, villages, antiquities, and other objects of curiosity on each bank. The value of this excellent compendium is considerably enhanced by the full particulars which it gives of the various modes of convey ance, the methods of obtaining passports, the tabular views of the money exchanges, and the copious information which it furnishes respecting the most eligible routes for travelling in Holland, Belgium, and Prussia. Such a work is almost indispensable to all who have the means, the leisure, and the inclination to indulge in such an interesting tour. Wilson's Historical, Traditionary, and Imayinative Tales of the Borders, and of Scotland. No. 74. Edinburgh : J. Sutherland, 12, Calton-street. We are always glad to open this amusing and interesting series of tales. Their interest is extremely well sustained. We need not therefore wonder that their circulation should be on the increase. There are few works, intended for popular perusal, which are more eminently deserving of sup port. The number before us contains some capital tales, among which we would particularly mention " Julia Ed wards ; or, the last of her Race"—" The Heir of Inshan nock"—and " Sir William Wallace." The Irish Penny Journal. Part 1. August, 1840. Dublin Gunn and Cameron ; Liverpool : J. Davies and Co. We - are glad to perceive that this admirable periodical is likely to win its way into popular favour. Ireland has long wanted such a publication. The literary talent employed upon the Irish Penny Journal is of the highest order. Among its principal contributors we find George Petrie, Mrs, S. C. Hall, Martin Doyle, and a host of other worthies. The contents of the first part are rich and varied. The illustra tions are also excellent. The Citizen; a Monthly Journal of Politics, Literature, and Art. August, 1840. Dublin : J. P. Doyle. This is the first number which we have received of this periodical. It is conducted on liberal principles, but without that asperity of tone which characterises publications of the same class generally. It contains several articles of great merit Among the more conspicuous of these we would enumerate " Sylla—a Tragedy," by Banim, the " Memoir of the late Gerald Griffin," and the " Chapters from the Autobiography of a late Militia 11Ian." We do not agree with the opinions propounded in the article on " Capital Punishment." Still less do we accord with the political dis quisitions which appear in the pages of the Citizen. Charles O'Malley, or the Irish Dragoon. Part 5. Dub lin : W. Curry, jun., and Co. This part actually overflows with humour of the richest and most piquant character. " The Adjutant's After-dinner Ride" is extravagantly ludicrous. The scenes at Major Dalrymple's are also highly laughable. We look forward with much anxiety for the foreign adventures of the Irish Dragoon. We have no doubt that they will prove as mirth provoking as those of Harry Lorrequer. Master Wumphrey's Clock. By " Boz." Part 4. London Chapman and Hall ; LiVerpool : Wareing Webb. This part possesses an extraordinary degree of interest. It consists almost altogether of one succinct narrative. The encounter between Quilp and Dick Swiveller is highly laugh able. We only wish that Master Richard had " laid it on a little harder." The interview between Mr. Garland and Mr. Witherden is exquisitely rich. The perigrinations of Nell and her grandfather, and the strange specimens of low life to which they are introduced, cannot fail to interest the reader. It is scarcely necessary to add that the illustrations in Master Humphrey's Clock are of the first-rate character. History of Napoleon. Part 18. London : Tyas, Pater- noster-row It is difficult to pronounce a definitive opinion on the me rits of a serial publication from the perusal of a single or even of an occasional part. This remark applies to the work before us, as well as to several others of which we have received odd numbers this month. The plates in this work, which are both numerous and exquisitely finished, are alone worth the price charged for each part. The text is also well printed, ar,d highly interesting in its character. The Illustrated Shakspere Part 16. London : R. Tyas, 8, Paternoster-row This part contains the greater portion of Cymbetine—in our opinion, one of the best of Shakspere's plays. The illustrative engravings are highly beautiful and characteristic. The artists appear to have caught the very spirit of the play. No one, who has any pretensions to literary taste, or who professes to be fond of the fine arts, should rest satisfied without possessing this truly splendid and unique edition of Shakspere. When suitably bound, it will prove an ornament to any library. Heads of the People. New Series. No. 8. London R. Tyas This new series of Heads of the People contains some capital portraits of the English of various classes. In the present number there is an amusing sketch of " The Coach man and the Guard," by Nimrod, and another of " The Policeman," by Paul Prendergast. The engravings are in the best style of Orrin Smith. We regret that we have only received one number of this serial. We feel assured, from a perusal of the part before us, that this work must become exceedingly popular. The truth is, that the tendency of the corn laws is to protect the labourer, and to enhance the value of his toil. Excessive competition is, avowedly, the imme diate cause' of an increase in the hours of labour ; but the tendency of the corn laws is to lessen competition throughout the whole range of labourers subjected to their operation. The corn laws give to the British la bourer nearly a " monopoly" (to use the free-trade phrase) of the business of growing food for the popu lation of Britain. The corn laws, therefore, necessarily sustain the market value of the labour of all the classes engaged, directly or indirectly, in the cultivation of the British soil. When the free-traders rail at " monopoly," they never deny that " monopoly" may be a very good thing. They only allege that " monopoly" is a bad thing for all but those who enjoy it. In the case of the corn laws, however, if " monopoly" there be, it is a " monopoly" enjoyed by the whole body of the cul tivators of the British soil against the idle portion of the consumers of that soil's produce. The real causes of the misery which affect nearly all classes of our manufacturing labourers are to be looked for exclusively in our manufacturing system. That system is false and cruel in its innermost nature. It is a system which has " cheap production" for its great end ; and under the influence of a system of " cheap production," the labourer himself must, in the nature of things, speedily become the " cheapest" of all mar ketable commodities. The corn laws, on the other hand, in so far as they act upon the nature of labour, are eminently protective. The " dearness" which the corn laws cause is " dearness" felt only by annuitants, and the moneyed classes. It is a "dearness" which nourishes and sustains all classes engaged in the busi ness of production. To Lord Ashley, we repeat, is the public deeply in debted for his labours now and on so many former occasions; nor may the praise be justly withheld from government of not having resisted Lord Ashley's im portant motion. Pottr2. THE WIDOW'S CHARGE AT HER DAUGHTER'S BRIDAL BY MRS. E. H SIGOURNEY (From the Lady's Book.) Deal gently, thou whose hand has won The young bird from the nest away, Where careless 'neath a vernal sun, She gaily caroll'd day by day ; The haunt is lone—the heart must grieve, From whence her timid wing doth soar, Then pensive list at hush of eve, Yet hear her gushing song no more ! Deal gently with her—thou art dear, Beyond what vestal lips have told ; And like a lamb, from fountains clear, She turns, confiding to thy fold. She, round thy sweet domestic bower, The wreaths of changeless love shall twine, Watch for thy step at vesper hour, And blend her holiest prayer with thine ! Deal gently, thou, when far away, 'Mid stranger scenes her foot shall rove, Nor let thy tender cares decay — The soul of woman lives in love ; And should'st thou, wandering, mark a tear Unconscious from her eye-lid break, Be pitiful, and soothe the fear That man's strong heart can ne'er partake! A mother yields her gem to thee, On thy true breast to sparkle Tare She places 'neath thy household tree The idol of her fondest care ; And by thy trust to be forgiven, When judgment wakes in terror wild, By all the treasur'd hopes of heaven, Deal gently with the widow's child. LITERARY NOTICES, August, 1840. London : W. E. Painter, Strand The Churchman London : Hayward and Gideon Giles the Roper. Part 4 Moore, Paternoster-row This is another odd number of a serial work. The appear ance on the title page of the name of Thomas Miller, author of " Royston Gower," &c., is, however, a sufficient guarantee for the intrinsic merits of the work. It appears to be a tale of rustic life, the incidents of which, if we may judge from an isolated number, are of a stirring character. The illustrations are equal to any in the most popular of the serial publications of the day. ENGLISH SLAVERY, (Front the Morning Herald.) Lord Ashley moved, last night, that "an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to direct an in quiry to be made into the employment of the children of the poorer classes in the various branches of trade and manufacture in which numbers of children work together, not being included in the provisions of the acts for regulating the employment of children and young persons engaged in f a ctories, and to colle c t in formation as to the ages at which they are employed, the number of hours they are engaged in work, the time allowed each day for meals, and as to the actual state, condition, and treatment of such children, and as to the effects of such employment, both with regard to their morals and their bodily health." , The speech of Lord Ashley was admirable. It abounded in statements of fact, of the highest impor tance ; and it was pervaded by a spirit of the most pro found wisdom. The treatment to which the children employed in all the great branches of our manufactures are subjected is a national disgrace. Their ease, their health, their comfort are utterly sacrificed; and all these fearful evils are incurred, in order to carry on a system of manufactures, which, the more it is extended, the poorer does it render the country ! In the course of the discussimi Mr. Villiers and Mr. Hume, while they admitted the evils alluded to by Lord Ashley, took occasion to ascribe those evils to the operation of the corn laws. It might puzzle those gentlemen to account for the startling fact, that the slavery of factory children, and of other children of equally tender years, is far more severe in those coun tries where " bread is cheap" than even in England with her much-abused corn-laws. SULPHUR MINES Letters from Tripoli, of the 6th June, give some in teresting particulars of an attempt lately made by a French company to work the sulphur mines in the Gulf of Syrte. It seems that a French chemist, named Subtil, residing at Tripoli, having accidentally seen some specimens of sulphur of remarkable purity, which he ascertained to have been brought from the interior, determined to visit the place of its produc tion. After a search of forty days, traversing the de sert of Barca, and arriving quite at the bottom of the Gulf of Syrte, he found mountains of sulphur mine ral, and a lake, whose bottom and sides were sulphure ous earth. The mineral of the rock sulphur is ex tremely abundant, quite on the surface, and many ca mels were speedily loaded with the samples. The dis trict was nominally within the pachalic of Tripoli, but had, for some time, been absolutely ruled by Abdel, a Moorish chieftain of illustrious birth, who maintained an army of 40,000 or 50,000 men, and enjoyed a vir tual sway over a very extensive portion of this part of the African continent. From this chieftain M. Subtil obtained the exclusive right of working the mines in question for a certain number of years; and, on the strength of the contract, he returned to France, and obtained the support of some of the first merchants at Marseilles to the prosecution of his plan. In Nlay he landed in Africa, with a number of workmen, and am ply provided with the means of turning the mines to the best account. But in the interval the aspect of affairs had changed. The Moorish chieftain had been defeated by the troops of Tripoli, and the district had returned to its allegiance. The British government had protested against the contract with Abdel as a monopoly, and therefore a breach of their treaty with Turkey, and all the exertions of M. Subtil to obtain a confirmation of his contract were fruitless. He was, however, a man of too much spirit to abandon his en terprise without a struggle, and accordingly, having abandoned his monopoly, he is negotiating with the Turkish government for permission to work the mines, in the hope of realising a handsome remuneration for his outlay, before he could be disturbed by the compe tition of any other adventurers. The sulphur district lies between the ports of Tripoli and Bengazi. The rock ore has been found to give 35-40 per cent. of pure sulphur, and also 2-15 of sulphate of soda, and 5-10 per cent. of salt. The sulphureous earth gave 45-50 per cent. of pure sulphur, but was of a more difficult fusion. The expedition of M. Subtil promises to be a satisfactory one to him after all his disappoint ments, and it is extraordinary that so rich a field of commercial enterprise as Africa furnishes should have been neglected by British capitalists. European pro duce in the interior of Africa bears a profit of 700 per cent., and gold dust sells there for only one dollar the metecal, or 373 Eng. gns., and indeed all the interior produce is at a similarly low rate.-11orniny Chronicle. " I addressed a letter to you, through various newspapers, early last spring, urging you to sow spring wheat in place of barley. The two months from the middle of February to the middle of May were the most favourable to vegetation, and.to the sowing of spring grain, of any two months in the memory of man; the previous eight months, from the 18th of June, 1839, having been the most unpropitious to all agri cultural operations, particularly on poor clay soils ; and though for the last two months there has been occasionally heavy rains and a low temperature, yet the season is full two weeks earlier at this season than in the two last years; and from the fine dry healthy weather that has now set in, and of which the continuance appears promising, there is every probability of harvest being concluded two, if not three, months earlier than last year in late situations ; and though the wheats are, in the north of England, on poor clay soils, thin of plant, yet the improvement of the appearance of the wheat crop in the last three weeks has been greater than I ever remember in the same time ; and though the wheat crop, after so unfavourable an autumn and winter, cannot, on poor clay soils in the north of England, be an average crop, yet the quality promises to make amends, and I confidently an ticipate the quality, in late situations, will be 245. per quar ter better than last year's crop, and for the average of the kingdom may readily be Bs. per quarter better. The last year will have averaged near 68s. per quarter; and the next, I anticipate, will not exceed 645. per quarter, and be Bs. per quarter better in quality, making the price (quality consi dered) 20 per cent. lower than last year. I can confidently state that the deficiency in the north will be amply made up by the productive wheat crops in the midland districts, and eastern part of the kingdom. " I write from a personal inspection I made, to and from the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Cambridge ; while the unanimous report of the best-informed persons at the said meeting was, That the southern part of the king dom would be very productive of wheat this season.' " Under these circumstances, I cannot refrain urging all those who have English grain on hand to thrash out as speedily as possible, and bring it to market, so as to prevent the average prices realising 695. per quarter, and thus keep the duty at or under 16s. Bd. per quarter. " If this advice be universally followed, all the old grain may be got sold before the new wheat glut the market, when a fall of price on the inferior old wheat may be at least 12s. per quarter after harvest to what it is at present ; and as the crops in the north are later, in proportion to the south, than usual, I would recommend the south country farmers to thrash freely after harvest, and send a supply to the north, to mix with the old inferior wheats of last year, now on hand, and such supply cannot well, be overdone till the northern crops are secured in stack ; and even then the north country farmers will not overstock the market during the autumn and winter, and by spring seed time it will be found, if prices are kept on an average at 645. per quarter during the autumn and winter, that there will be ample supply to serve till next harvest, without an advance of price beyond 645. per quarter. " The present alarm, I am confident, is unfounded, and has been got up to induce farmers to hold back their sup plies, that prices may advance, to let out the bonded wheat at a low duty, and thus unnecessarily inundate the country with foreign wheat when it is not needed. I write in perfect confidence that my anticipations will prove correct, for my attention to the subject has been unremitting for more than fifty years, and for nearly fifty years I never once was disap pointed in the expectations I formed of the crops at this season of the year. On yourselves, therefore, farmers, de pend your future prospects. You have it yet in your power to prevent wheat reaching 695. per qr. for six weeks together. And when the importers of wheat and that under lock, see that you are alive to your own interest, they will then see that it is their interest to pay the duty of 16s. Bd. per qr., as the duty will rise, while the prices go down to 645. per qr. And thus the country will be supplied through your instru mentality with bread at a reasonable price, and you will prove yourselves to be, as you have ever been, the real friends of the consumers of grain, and that high prices have ever been owing to the combination of the importers, in not bringing their grain upon the market when most needed. " A check now given to importation is your best safeguard for the future ; and when a kind Providence again sends favourable seasons, your home supply, under improving cul tivation, will render a foreign supply unnecessary, even were the population of the United Kingdom double what it now is • for there are no bounds to the imp rovemen t o f th e so il under a judicious protection by law from a foreign supply, which is always precarious, and has been ruinous to every importing country in the world. " With my best wishes for the prosperity of agriculture, " I am, Farmers of England, your true friend, " THOMAS BATES. " Kirkleavinglon, near Yarm, Yorkshire, July 28." PORT OF CARDIFF-BUTS SHIP-CANAL DOCK OR BASIN (From a Correspondent of the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.) The above undertaking being now completed and open for all purposes of trade and navigation, it may not be unin teresting to the mercantile and shipping interests to be fur nished with some information on the subject of these docks, and the advantages thus. afforded to ships frequenting the port, by the final perfecting of one of the most extensive works—indeed 1 believe the most so, with the exception of the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal—ever begun and brought to a prosperous termination by any one individual; nor are there many national works of greater extent. The present has been constructed by the Marquis of Bute, at his sole cost, at an outlay of £250,000. It was commenced in the year 1834, the site having been chosen under the advice of those men most eminent in their day, Telford and Green, and the situation of the docks was adopted with a view to forming the safest and most direct communication with th. sea; the design and execution were entrusted to Mr. Cubitt, whose high reputation must be still enhanced by this monument of his skill. The work comprises a ship canal, 4,000 feet in length, and 200 feet in breadth, with massive quay walls on either side, coped with chiseled blocks of granite. There are wooden fenders running the whole extent of the quay, parallel with the water's edge, so that vessels cannot receive injury by striking against the walls. The canal, to the extent of 1,500 feet, is eighteen feet deep ; for 1,200 feet, is thirteen feet deep ; and the remaining distance shallows to eight and a half feet. The exit from this canal is through a lock 152 feet long by thirty-six feet wide (through which a vessel of 1200 tons burthen, laden with timber, was passed on the day the docks were opened) into a tide basin, capaple of receiving 3,000 tons of shipping; for example, fifteen vessels of 200 tons each, where they are always afloat, shut in by a tide gate 45 feet wide, which is opened at three and a half hours' flood, when the tide outside rises to the height of the water within ; and vessels pass out into the sea through a channel 150 feet wide, and half a mile in length, lyir g from north to south ; so that the prevailing winds admit of ships hoisting their canvas in the basin, and sailing direct to the sea, and in like manner coming in, they sail straight into the basin without casting anchor or unfurling sails. The channel is marked by buoys on either side, by which vessels can warp in or out, and before high water and whilst navigable for vessels of any burthen, it is protected by the banks formed by the excava tion, so that in boisterous weather vessels have only to enter at half tide to be quite sheltered and sail up through still water. If needed, there are steam-tugs always in attendance for towing in or out at a moderate charge. The grand fea ture in these docks is, that they are always accessible, and to vessels of any burthen, the tide always rising at the basin to height of from eighteen to thirty-five feet, excepting six or eight days in the year at the lowest neaps, when they mtly not attain above sixteen teet. Another most important feature is, that ships need never take the ground, for the tide gate, at three-and-a-half hours' flood, is opened, and continues so for five hours, during which vessels sail right in or out of the tide basin direct to sea. At two-and-a-half hours' ebb the gates are closed, the water in the basin is raised to the level of the ship canal, the dock gates are opened, and the whole fleet passed in or out without locking; this might be done twice every tide, thus enabling the transit of 12,000 tons of shipping every twenty-four hours—an extent of traffic beyond any thing that can ever be contemplated. In the completion of this magnificent work, the anxious desires of all classes con nected with the trade and port have been more than realised ; and that some such improvements have been for a long time required, to meet the growing exigencies of this most flourishing and largely increasing port, will be evident from a review of the increase in the trade within the last few years, and the inefficiency of the Glamorgan Canal to afford the re quisite accommodation. We will recur to a period of four teen years, and subsequent intervals, up to the present time, and show the increase. No. of vessels en- Reg. tonnage ITotal No tering the port Total tonnage narrow that pilots cannot always avoid running on the banks, which, occurring at high tides, vessels sometimes get be neaped high and dry for seven or eight days. On arrival at the gates vessels have to wait for tide or for their turn to be locked in, grounding every tide, jammed up betwixt a multi tude of vessels in a very confined spot, there is no security, and always apprehension ; for it has occurred that vessels have taken the bank in grounding, and fallen over on beam ends, straining the ship and damaging cargo, and occasion ally, it has been necessary to dischare all, and repair. These accidents have caused vessels sharply built, or coppered ves sels not liking to take the ground, to remain in Penarth roads, to load, as is necessary with vessels of large burthen, and this at an expense of 2s. 6d. per ton for li B hterage on ballast and cargo. This will now be avoided, as the largest class ships can load in the Bute Docks with as much conve nience and facility as at any port in the kingdom, and at a considerable saving of time and expense. Having shown the facilities afforded to ships by the new harbour, I proceed to show, by a comparative statement, the cost of receiving car goes from thence and from Glamorgan Canal, exemplifying it in the several classes of vessels on which different rates are chargeable at the former. tt+ ICi m g ct m THE DISINTERESTED DOCTOR The following letter forms part of a correspondence which took place between Dr. Lardner and Mr. Karslake, of Regent-street, in reference to the late extraordinary affair. It strikes us as savouring less of the steam-engine than of the calculating machine : " 4, Regent-street, April 6, 1840. "My Dear Sir,—l duly received your letter of the 30th ult. ' and will now, in the first place, reply to your questions. With respect to the £20,000, I consider that, notwithstanding the step taken, and her consequently marrying you, she will be entitled to her life interest in this sum in the event of her surviving Captain H. A 4 you have stated the question as to the £13,000, I consider that if Mrs. H. survived her father, mother, and Captain H., she would be entitled to this sum ; but that, if her father and mother were to die in the lifetime of Captain H. and Mrs. H., without being divorced, then that Captain H. would be entitled. I think it most probable however, that this sum of £13,000 was settled on the mar riage of Captain H. and Mrs. H. ; and if so, the chances are that Captain H. has the first life estate, then Mrs. H. a life estate, and on the death of the survivor that the property will go to the children. In all cases of divorce, on the applica tion of the husband, parliament requires the husband to make some provision for the wife, but what that provision may be depends altogether on the circumstances of each case, and the fortune of the husband, and there is no settled rule, and therefore it is generally a matter of treaty between the agents on both sides, and if they cannot agree, Mr. Gordon settles it. In order to look for precedents, the better to enable me to write to you on this point, I this morning sent down Mr. Gore to Parratt and Walmsley ; Walmsley asked Gore if the matter had any refer ence to your case, as if so, he expected to be em ployed on the other side. I had told Mr. Gore that if any question was asked to say that I was concerned for you in this matter; and Mr. Gore then asked who was concerned for Captain H. ; Mr. Walmsley said Mr. Beavan, of Sackville street. Fortunately I know Mr. Beavan very well, and after some consideration I thought it a very good opportunity to see him, and to impart to him as much as in prudence I thought right with reference to your first instructions to me, and accordingly 1 called upon him and mentioned the object of my call, and how I happened to know that he was con cerned for Captain H. I then told him I had heard from you, was instructed to appear for y ou, an d should not attempt to defend any action, or to throw any obstacles in the way ; in short, that after what had taken place, I could have no hesitation in advising you, and that I was assured your own feeling would be to do nothing which might be deemed an ag gravation of the calamity. Mr. Beavan appeared pleased at mwyriciat! h lin e g s o h n ou h l i d m c , and saidthat o in t s fi t n ru d c t te h d at to he is h s a u d e a as yet re ce i ve d any suc h i ns t ruc tions, but that he was all on me ; hnt i f I h e d i was d n pre paring to proceed in the Ecclesiastical Court. The two pro ceedings may be concurrent. In the Lords and Commons a sentence of divorce in the Ecclesiastical Court, and the judg ment at law for damages must be proved, and the actual pay ment of the damages is sometimes required to be proved. I collected that the other side are aware that you are now in Paris. We shall not be able to procure you any advance on the Shepherd's-bush property, without possessing the origi nal deeds to prod uce to the lender, and to be handed over to him on the loan being advanced.-1 remain, dear sir, t'our's faithfully, " HY.

We see that the trade has considerably more than doubled in the last 14 years, and will no doubt continue to increase to an immense extent. The new docks and the Taff Vile Railway, connecting them with the mineral districts and Merthyr, the seat of the iron manufacture, has already induced the commencement of large collieries, and great ad ditions to the iron works. It is only surprising how the pre sent amount of trade has been carried on, in any way, in so inefficient port as the old canal, the entrance lock to which is only 97 feet long by 27 feet wide, and 13 feet deep o ver the inner sill—dimensions that preclude most vessels exceed ing 300 tons burthen from entering at all, and those that do enter can none of them load deeper than 12-1 feet ; the larger class have therefore to finish their lading outside the dock gates. Nor can vessels of the ordinary class take but a small portion of their cargoes at any wharf, there being only two, and those private wharfs, abreast which there is twelve feet of water. The canal above these is 10 feet, gradnally sbal lowing to 5 feet at the upper end ' • so that from all wharfs, excepting the two nearest the dock, vessels have to lighten the greater part of their cargoes at ship's expense such being the custom of the port. The expense is taking the average of the vessels, and the average cost of lighterage, which is 6d. per ton in the canal and Is. outside the gates, gives an average expense in this particular on all vessels of 6d. per ton on their whole cargo. Tne c.onal having no quay wall, the banks slope to an acute angle at the bottom, making the channel-way very narrow, scarcely admitting two loaded vessels to pass. From this cause and the number of ships crowding the lower end of the canal for depth of water to re ceive their cargoes, brought after them in lighters, such ob structions and delays arise, that vessels are frequently seven or eight days waiting for a berth in deep water, where they may receive their final complement, though, perhaps, laden within ten or twenty tons. But this is not all the evil, as by this delay the high tides have passed, and a further deten tion of seven to ten days occurs in waiting the next springs —and possibly the like detention may have been experienced on arrival ; so that vessels of the ordinary class, trading to the port, are frequently detained by these casualties nearly three weeks in addition to the time expended in loading. When it is likewise considered that nea r ly a ll the trade is . carried on in vessels of above one hundred tons, it will be obvious to what an extent these detentions by the tides may occur, as there are about 58 days in the year during which the tides do not rise at the canal gates to a height sufficient for the admission of vessels of one hundred tons' burthen ; i i es the ten feet n case so that for nearly one-sixth of th e y ea r there can be no tran sit through the locks for vessels o f this size, and for those of a larger class the detentions are g reater in an inc reased ratio above with the their level burthen. ef theß The ut e s g i a ll te o s ; of t t h h e u s, canal , whe nas , gates some days in the year, that the tides at the former do no t attain above six feet, there are 16 feet at the latter. It i s scarcely necessary to say more in comparison of the two canals; though among the evils of the old one may be_ . men tioned the intricate approach through a long winding gut, requiring an entire tide to accomplish, and the channel so THE CORN LAWS, &c, We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the follow , in g admirable communication on the subject of certain recent tricks in Mark-lane : TO THE FARMERS OF ENGLAND a- ''"' ...., 0 ..il N ..., ~.... ,-.. • a „ fro 2 0 . p„ -, .i. w t. t. ,:,.. 2 3 43.,." . ....

The iron and coal merchants have not yet removed their wharfs (though I learn they are about doing so), therefore, th e ves sels that have hitherto loaded in the Bute canal h ave b orne the expense of lightering their iron from the Glamorgan canal at a cost of 9d. per ton, and have also paid the wharfage charge on iron-- , -namely 6d. per ton on vessels under 100 tons register, under 250 tons 9d., 250 tons and upwards Is. per ton. The necessity for the former expense will be abo lished when the wharfs are removed; and the latter will be, for arrangement, between the ship and shippers either to be refunded the vessel, or be paid a proportionate addition in freight. By reference to the above comparative statement, it is quite evident that with the additi on o f b o th th ese it ems to the Bute dock tariff on either class of charges, an immense saving would still be effected by ships loading in the Bute canal.

STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER. — The delightful and happy change in the weather appeared to produce considerable eflect upon the market yesterday ; the demand both for goods and yarn was decidedly better than for several weeks past, and though it could scarcely be said that there was any general advance upon what would be called the full market price of last Tues day, there was a cessation of that sacrificing on the part of the sellers which had been going on for several weeks pre viously ; and In some few articles, particularly in low num bers of yarn, and in 27-inch printing cloth (which was pre viously much depressed) a trifling improvement took place. ROCHDALE, FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 3. — To-day has been the most discouraging market we have had for some weeks back scarcely any business has been tran sacted at any price. Last Monday there was some inquiry after tine goods ; but to-day all is gloomy, and there are four of the small manufacturers, who have, during the week, sus pended payment ; and have, or are about, to sign over their effects for the benefit of their creditors. There is no change in the cool market. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—MC business-like appearance of this market to-day, together with the splendid weather, produced a most cheering effect ; and the sales effected were considerable in nearly all sorts of goods. Prices, too, were a little improved, and the demand for wools has caused some sorts to look up. All now depends upon the harvest, and as the prospect is good, a fair autumn trade is anticipated. Bus iness in the warehouses is brisker, anfl considerable orders for winter goods are in hand. MILITARY ANECDOTES SIR SYDNEY SMITH.—At the battle of Alexandria, an aid-de-camp of General Craddock, in carrying his orders, had his horse killed under him, and begged permission of Sir Sydney to mount a horse belonging to his orderly dra goon. As Sir Sydney was turning round to give the order to dismount, a cannon shot took off the poor fellow's head. " This," said the Admiral, " settles the question ; Major, the horse is at your service." SIR RALPH ABERCROMBIE AND SIR SYDNEY SMITII.— Sir Ralph found himself alone and surrounded by French Dragoons ; one of them charged and overthrew the veteran commander. In an attempt to cut him down, the old man, nerved with a momentary strength, seized upon the uplifted sword and wrested it from his assailant, while a Highland soldier transfixed the dragoon with his bayonet. The first officer who came up was Sir Sydney Smith, who, having broken the blade of his own sabre, received from Sir Ralph the weapon of which he had despoiled the French Hussar. In this skirmish Sir Ralph his mortal wound. What has become of this sword, now Sir Sydney is dead ? It ought to be inquired after and deposited as a relic. FEMALE HEROISM.—At the siege of Malajorda the fire of forty-eight guns and mortars was concentrated on this little fort. The troops fell fast. During this tremendous fire, a drum boy was ordered to fetch water from the well. The child hesitated ; a serjeant's wife, called Ritson, instantly caught up the bucket, crossed the line of fire, and, though the cord which held the vessel was cut by a shot, she filled and brought it safely back to the wounded men who were lying in the casemate. A Boy HERO.—At the seige of Acre, Sir Sydney Smith was attended by a young middy of the name of Bourne, a boy about eleven or twelve years old. The enemy were throwing stones of a very large size from cannon of an enor mous calibre, with which they did great execution among the assailants. One of these stones fell so close to young Bourne, that Sir Sydney turned round in full expectation of seeing him a corpse. The boy, however, stood unhurt and undaunted close to where the stone had fallen and broken into a thousand pieces with its force and weight. " A nar row escape, Bourne," said Sir Sydney. "Yes, Admiral," said the youngster, "but a miss is good as a mile." Sir Sydney was so struck by the coolness of the boy, that he de sired him to take up a piece of the stone, and when he wanted anything to come to him with it. Some few years afterwards, when Sir Sydney was again employed, young Bourne, now some 16 years of age, took the stone to Sir Sydney, at the Admiralty, who immediately took him on board his own ship —and within a few months he was almost shot to pieces in cutting a vessel out of an enemy's harbour. THE PRAYER Boox.—ln a campaign it is usual to dispose of the effects of anv other officer who is killed, by auction. After the battle of Salamanca, among other articles, a prayer book was put up, on which the auctioneer said—" He who buys this lot must be a brave man, for it is the fourth time I have put it up to sale within the last month." THE WHALE FISHERY.—The Greenland whale fishery, we regret to say, has turned out almost a total failure this season. The Dundee Chronicle of yesterday week says— " We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter, dated from Aberdeen, on Tuesday, of which the following is an extract:—' Just on leaving Peterhead this morning, th e Jo seph Green, from Greenland, arrived with three or four fish. He landed the master of the Perseverance, of Peterhead, and with whom I had a moment's conversation, as the mail was Just about starting. He lost his ship (crew saved) on the 3d May, and reports the fishing a total failure. Sihps mostly all clean. Friendship, of your port, in the number.' " The Dundee Courier of Tuesday week further states—" On Tuesday last the following vessels arrived at Peterhead : Joseph ' Green, 4 fi s h an d 2770 s eals ; Ranger, 1500 seals • Resolution, 2 fish an d 6 sea l s ; Uuion, 2100 seals ; Eclip se, 1 fish, 1990 se a l s .

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AUGUST 6 There is an extraordinary degree of apathy existing in thd dry Butter trade, and prices may be considered entirely nominal. The finest descriptions we cannot note higher than gas to flis. Pickled Butter being but in limited supply , and much anxiety evinced on the part of purchasers to ship in certain fast sailing vessels on the eve of departure for the Brazils,—the rates are en , hanced fully 28 per cwt. ; respectable brands commanding 91s to 925. Beef continues to rule extravagantly high. Pork is moderate in comparison, and by many, is expected to advance. Bacon goes off with much freedom at 52s to 53s for the finest quality. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 4 (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coatsways, and from Foreign ports have again been only to a very trivial extent ; and, during the past week, the weather has been more genial and favourable fqr securing the crops of Hay, and for the progress of those Grain towards maturity ; we have, in consequence, experienced a continuance of languor in the demand, and although the recent importers and holders have not been very eager sellers, purchases have been made to a small extent of almost every article in the Corn trade, excepting Barley for grinding, at a decline equal to about Is per garter, and of about 6d to is per sack and per barrel on Flour and Oatmeal, and this remark is applicable to the market at Manchester, and to all those around of the past week. The duty on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat was increased on Friday Is 6d per quarter, and there is no alteration in that of any other Grain ; but it is now quite certain that on Friday next the duty on Wheat will be reduced to 13s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 8s 2id per barrel; and it is confidently anticipated that on Friday the 14th inst. the duty will be further reduced to Ins 8d per quarter, and 6s 5d per barrel; there has in consequence been a fair demand for both articles in bond, and several parcels, here and on the passage, have recently changed hands at fully our last quotations. At this day's market, there was but a very thin attendance of millers and dealers, who bought very sparingly and timidly only for immediate wants, and though a decline fully equal to that above stated was submitted to on every article in the Corn trade, the transactions were of a very small extent; the weather continues as fine as possible for the crops. . _ _ Obipping inttlligtnrt.
