OMIT, THE LEAP ROYAL OF LEAP YEAR. (From Fraxer's Magazine for March.) In this leap month of this leap year, the Queen, Using her sex's privilege, chose A husband for herself. In tints of rose All things were coloured for the bridal scene ; And many a jest—some rather warm, I ween— On many a jocular lip that day arose Which saw the virgin hours approach their close Of England's royal maiden. And between Eight and nine hundred thousand people stood Huzzaing 'mid the tyranny of the rain, Which came upon us in a precious flood, To greet with due applause the princely twain. Hooted, meanwhile, was Melbourne, our grand Tamberlane And likewise was Earl Uxbridge, the lord-chamberlain. And all the women said, with voices sweet, " Oh, what a nice young man is that Prince Albert! He looks as straight and taper as a halbert ; Almost as slim, not quite so tall; you'd meet Few better-looking chaps in Regent-street, Smoking cigars, and talking Upland Dutch; With greased moustaches, of such pretty touch, On Friday evenings, when the Jews make neat For Sabbath. And he sings a pretty song, And writes a pretty opera, and can play So pretty on the flute, that through High Holborn You might employ yourself the whole day long, Ere any other Sharman poy' you'd say Was fit as he to rhyme-grind for 11. Colburn." And, therefore, it is very right that he, From all those bold and martial qualities, Composing quavers, muddling melodies, High-German chanting, and the proud degree, In rumbling Latin by the 'versity Of Rhenane Bonn* conferred, at once should seize The baton of Field-Marshal, with small ease Won by our soldiers when this LL.D. Lay in his father's loins. And just as right That he, the true field-marshal, he the gem Of all our host, whom England's diadem Must own its saviour, should meet paltry slight ; But he contemptuous on that score may l oo k, When London's million voices hail the Duke. M. O'D. * See the diploma of J. U. D. conferred upon Prince Al bert by the University of Bonn. It is in very big and very odd-looking Latin words, and no doubt the doctors know what they are about, and no small blame to them.—Vl° Kal. Mart. Bis. The Blssextile Day, Feb. 25, the Grey Mare, Regent-street. SPAIN AND ENGLAND. (From the Staffordshire Gazette.) The debate last week on the Marquis of London derry's motion, for the production of the papers of the Bergara Convention, shows how deeply the honour of England has been compromised by a British ministry in this most treacherous of all treaties that have ever been recorded in the annals of this or any other coun try. Indeed, so thoroughly un-English is the feeling of bribing a servant to betray his master, that we are sure there is not a right-minded Englishman, be he whig, radical, or tory, that will not mourn for the de gradation of his country through this humiliating treaty. It appears that in June aad July last two British officers, Lord John Hay, and Colonel Wylde, were employed by Lord Palmerston, in conjunction with Espartero, the Christino General, in concocting this foulest of treacheries, and that Nlarotto, the Car list General, after his second communication with them on the subject, issued a second proclamation to those faithful soldiers, whom he had at the very time agreed to betray into the hands of their enemies. In this pro clamation Marotto says, " In vain do villains spread reports of negotiations with the enemy; never will any men whose principles are recorded as ours are, stoop to negotiation. ' The Kin °. and our Religion' is our motto, and, in defending them, we must triumph or die in our arms." In less than two months after the issuing of this proclamation, and after barbarously murdering a number of the most distinguished Carlist officers, whose devoted loyalty to their prince stood in the way of his projected treachery, this arch traitor delivers up twenty-two battalions, placed by the confi dence of his royal master under his command, into the hands of Espartero. We are not surprised at Lord Melbourne's attempt to .justify, on the score of expediency, Machiavelian principles of a government which does not scruple to avow that the end justifies the means ; but we certainly did not expect to see an Earl of Clarendon so far forget what was due to the name and memory of his great progenitor — to whose service& and sufferings in the cause of betrayed royalty his lordship is indebted for the coronet he wears—as to stand up in his seat as the abettor of so signal an act of treachery," as the Con vention of Bergara is aptly termed by no small autho rity—(the Earl of Aberdeen,) and to call it " a great and noble measure of pacification." It appears from what may be collected from the debate, that the British Government had at length become fully aware of their indiscretion in entering into the Quadruple Treaty, having been so soon left by the French to bear the whole brunt and burthen in the Quixotic attempt to force the Spanish nation to abandon their lawful king. After inducing by this attempt, 10.000 of our country men to enlist into the unfortunate legion, and then suffering the survivors of them to be mulcted of their pay—after supplying arms and military stores to the amount of £616,638, not one farthing of which has been, or probably ever will be, repaid ;—after locking up and endangering our ships of war, during six years on the dangerous coasts of Spain, when our merchants were crying out for protection against French aggres sion in every quarter of the globe ;—the very men who had so recklessly plunged the country into a contest without the shadow of a cause, found themselves unable to put an end to it without resorting to a step, which, though harmless as to their own characters, has un happily brought indelible disgrace upon the British name. In this step, however, as in all others not founded upon right principles or common prudence, the Ber gara Treaty has utterly failed in its anticipated results, for Cabrera and the Carlists, roused to indignation by the treachery of Marotto, are extending the war through the very heart of the Peninsula, and with a vigour stimulated into fury by a sense of the atrocious injury done to their betrayed Monarch. The object of the Quadruple Treaty being, aecording to Lords Mel bourne and Clarendon, to obtain the pacification of the Peninsula, and the object being apparently as far dis tant as ever, our navy and our money will be still wanted for the visionary scheme, and all that will re main to the British Nation for its gratuitous inter ference with the internal affairs of Spain, will be the general execration of the Spanish people, and the lower ing of its own character in the eyes of the world. " Men must endure Their going hence, even as their coming - hither ; Ripeness is all." It cannot be gainsaid but that the present ministers have been the greatest gluttons in receiving punishment, and in enduring degradation, history hath ever spoken of, or living men been witnesses of; nay, to such an infatuated degree have they carried selfish humiliation. that the ordinary principles of rational calculation have been baffled, and it would seem that nothing less than a haitallon of the Guards brought in to fire upon them, as was the case of the celebrated whig elephant in Exeter 'Change, will annihilat e the tenacity of administrative existence; when the human heart becomes obtuse to the ordinary feelings of honour ; when the conventional rules that govern public men are held in contempt, and a certain degree of power and au th or i ty i s possessed by the contemnors, sufficient to uphold them in their out rages upon public principle, and publi c d ecency, for a certain period of time, a little reflection will make ma nifest, that our first symptoms of astonishment were premature, our disappointment uncalled for, and our expectations of speedy conservative triumphs precipi tate, and the question of, " When will you die?"' imme diately. becomes one of amusement,_ rather than of vexa tion. It is most true that thejust expectations of many more than mere superficial observers, and surface politicians have been disappointed; but they have been only postponed, and not relinquished, and for good cause, viz., that these disappointments have been pro duced by the extraordinary interposition of a power rarely exerted from mere personal predilections, and at the peril of sacrificing the most important loyalty of, the land, w heth er it b e re garded in respect o. f person, or property, or mora l s; we trust that it will not be very lon g ere this power will perceive the precipice over which th e insidious fascination of Papistical trai torism, and of perfidious Protestant liberalism, or in other words, of modern " political socialism," has sus pended it, and th at the vast and awful voice of st ern constitutional loyalty may be at last heard, propheti cally exclaiming " Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen." Our immediate object is to put our Conservative readers on their guard, and to impress upon them the necessity of increasing vigilance, that they may not imagine, be cause the shield of the three lions passant guardant, has been unexpectedly degraded by being interposed be tween destruction and the present Ministers, that richly merited overthrow can be much longer delayed —let them therefore be not found asleep at their posts, stupidly believing the roar of the lion d'or will terrify loyalty any longer, or be able to protect the traitors to' Protestantism beyond a very brief period we speak this advisedly, and we earnestly summon every true Conservative to be prepared to combat in the electoral ranks at an early day—earlier than perhaps our late disappointment may willingly induce us to believe, and the retardation of our hopes by royalty and parliamen tary privilege, tyranny would prudently suggest—but we say unto you, be on your guard, prepare for your posts,' for be assured a dissolution is not far off, and that Lord Melbourne cannot sustain his disgraceful position longer without one ; nay more ; if not be neath credibility, that he is most anxious to retire at once without one; that he has informed her Majesty of the true state of affairs, and that she has exacted a most reluctant assent from the Premier to appeal to the country against Peel, before she will accept his re signation, and it is very probable the corn-laws or the ballot will be found to be the chosen battle-field, we say then, " To your Tents °lsrael!" for whether our information or our belief be correct or not, our advice to be on your guard" cannot be otherwise than sound.

The entry list for our annual meeting has this week made its appearance, and presents a promise of an average quantity of sport. For the first day, the Wilton Stakes has closed with an appendage of four names, being three less than last year, and two than the year before ; this is followed by the Produce Stakes, which has only three entries. For the four year old Free Handicap a larger number than usual have " stood the chance," there being as many as twelve subscri bers to it, exhibiting an increase of five over last year, and over the year previous of the same number. The Filly Stakes has scarcely escaped being " drawn blank," there being only two subscribers. The second day, as usual, com mences with the two-year old " fly," for which six " juve niles" are entered. The St. Leger has exactly the same number of names to it as last year, namely, six ; and the " cool hundred" offered by the owners of the course has only obtained seven subscribers. For the third day, as yet two stakes alone are closed, viz., the Broughton Stakes, and the Trades' Cup ; the former has booked its usual good entry ; there being fourteen nominations ; and for the latter, two dozen constitute the sum total. Saturday, the closing day, exhibits a promise of future things to come, there being at present only the " skeleton" of a day's racing, but we are glad to find that no " trotting race" disgraces the list. We append the full entry, from which it will be seen that the noble owner of the " tartan and yellow jacket" occupies a considerable space throughout the three first days. It can hardly be imagined that his good fortune last Whitsuntide will still cling to him in this present year, mais, noes verrons. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10.

The following from Senegal, under date of the 12th De cember, is given by the Outre :Vier : " The steamer Erebe sailed to-day with the Governor, M. Charmasson, who is gone to visit Goree, and the factories of Caramance and Albrela. He has resolved to inspect in per son all the establishments which the jealous rivalry of the English induces them to invade cr annihilate. The main object of his voyage, indeed, is to ascertain the facts relating to an act of piracy said to have been committed by Sir Edwd. Holland, commander of the English brig-of-war Dolphin, against M. Raffin, a Frenchman now at St. Louis, Senegal. This gentleman is in possession of authentic documents from the authorities of Prince's Island, proving beyond all doubt that he was a passenger in a Portuguese ship coming from Bahia, in Brazil, with her papers all correct, but which was captured by the Dolphin under pretence that she was a Bra zilian. The numerous passengers were consequently taken on board the English brig, with all their effects, which were immediately partitioned out amongst the English sailors. Not content with this, the persons of the prisoners were stripped, and they were left completely naked. In fine, after undergoing this and other unworthy treatment, the crew and passengers were put on shore, without provisions or clothing, in a desert part of Prince's Island." The Dolphin is a cutter of three guns, and is commanded by Lieut. Edward Holland, who does not belong to any order of knighthood. We have no doubt that there is con siderable error or exaggeration in the above account.—Ga lignani of Tuesday. A letter from Toulon states that on Thursday morning the workshop for preparing congreve rockets, &c., in the arsenal, took fire, the consequence of which was, that for several hours the most tremendous explosions and discharges of pro jectiles took place over the town and roadstead, and into the surrounpig country. Several shells fell near the Belle Poule frigate. About 12 men, including an officer, are believed to have lost their lives by this accident, and from 15 to 20 per sons have been more or less injured.

THE ACIRMES Pitopupto SWIZMNI I CHIMNEYS 131 TIE MEANS Of LITTLE CIIIL PREN MAY bE PREVENTED. (From a Correspondent of the London Courier.) There are some things so monstrous that one is puzzled to know how they could originate ; so opposed to all the sugges tions and ground-work of religion, and the precepts incul cated by all who have ever undertaken to instruct us, that we are obliged to ask how can it be ? and yet these things re main. If it were not harsh to say so, it might be thought that religion is more largely professed than realized, seeing that cruelties are practised constantly and universally, which might be at once redressed. We are not intending to enter upon a line of argument which is strangely misplaced in a newspaper, nor have we any idea of infringing the preroga tive of those whose education and appointment, and disposi tion, alike prompt them to the discharge of such sacred duties; but so much as this we may legitimately say, that Heaven enjoins it upon us as a duty that we be kind to, and consi derate of those around us. If there is one thing more in veighed against than another, in the Records of Divine Re velation, it is the want of sympathy with the poor. The Being on whom we all rest, and without whose protection we should be crushed before the moth, has wisely divided society into such classes as afford protection to all, if but rightly attended to ; and this feeling of dependence .upon Him, should make us very tender of those beneath us ; and that country is on the brink of ruin which can deliberately violate these arrangements. A community unmindful of its children and indifferent to their well-being; either in body or mind, is in an unhealthy state, ripe for Socialism, and Heaven's wrath. These are signs of the times which portend a storm—and he who raises children, as he would raise any other animal, and disposes of them with the same eager facility, as in a state of utter barbarism •, and they who nationally or individually counte nance such proceedings are infinitely more depraved ; and have as much more to answer for as the man, who, standing upon an eminence which commands a battle, and gives no word of approaching danger, is more guilty than those who have been drawn into the midst of the fight, and thus pre vented from judging of its probable results. With these few preliminary remarks, we are about to inquire of such of our readers individually, how are your chimneys swept? What a ridiculous question! By children to be sure ; it is the only way. Pardon us, it is not the only way; it is the usual way, be cause since the fall, it has been usual to do wrong ; but a society has existed for many years to abolish this disgraceful custom. The society was patronised by their late Majesties Kin g George IV. and King William IV., and it has her pre sent Most Gracious Majesty for its patroness. This society is now obtaining the notice it has long de served. People are beginning to feel thoroughly ashamed of their past supineness ; to see that children are not wanted in this trade ; and a determination is becoming general, that the practice must be given up. The society alluded to has lately printed a portraiture of chimney sweeping admirably cal culated to expose the guilt of these men, and to show the remedy. This pamphlet is conveniently arranged under the following beads : Machines applicable to all chimneys. No child ever made a chimney sweeper by fair means. Mode of obtaining children. Means used to make children ascend chimneys, Age at which children are employed. Sufferings during initiation. The care taken of these children. Effects of climbing. Hilarities of May Day. Dimensions pf some chimneys. Lads abandoned at fifteen or sixteen. Effects of such abandonment. Depravity of many masters. Girls sometimes employed. Trade opposed to the machine. Chimney sweeper's cancer. Lining not more hurt by machine than boys. Opinion of the House of Commons. Testimony of Fire Offices. Experiment at the Bank of England. Proofs of what children think of sweeping chimneys. Accidents, as chimney sweepers call them. Error still held by some. Legislative interference absolutely necessary. Altered state of the public mind. The book is to he had gratis of the honorary secretary. Hand-in-Hand Fire Office, No. 1, New Bridge-street, Black friars. Every one who has a chimney should get the book, and every one who hopes for God's mercy should abandon this use of children. The persons who fancy that their chim neys would take fire, will see in this pamphlet such a list of the aristocracy who adopt the machine, as will rather sur prise them ; such list being headed by her most gracious Majesty the Queen Dowager. It has always been a favourite theory with us, that persons of high rank are uniformly more considerate and merciful than those of low degree, and the list referred to fully bears us out. The cause of these op pressed children will be immediately brought before parlia ment, and we shall see that both houses will instantly pass the bill to prohibit the use of children in this trade, and thus fully support our opinion of the aristocracy of Old England. One or two quotations from the publication noticed, taken from under different heads, and being evidence before the House of Commons, are here subjoined, which will show the public the system complained of. John Cook, chimney sweeper, examined. What sum of money is generally given for those children to the parents by the master chimney sweepers?—Two or three pounds ; it depends upon circumstances ; sometimes more, sometimes less. • Do you give more for children that are delicately formed, and who are, therefore, better calculated for small chimneys? —The smaller they are the master generally likes them the better, because they are generally more serviceable to them. So that a small boy bears a better price than a full grown boy ?—Yes, &c. John Harding, chimney sweeper, examined. What is the common price that chimney sweepers give for childrenl—There are instances of two or three or even four pounds being given. What is the common price ?—lt's hard to say, &c. . But a sum of money is generally given ?—Yes, mostly so. If you refused to climb, were any means used to force you? —Yes ; they are always forced up. In general, do children who are so employed go unwilling ly to the work I—Yes ; they always go unwillingly to the work. John Cook's examination continued. Do you find many boys show great repugnance to go up at first ?—Yes ; most of them. Have you not often heard of masters treating their ap prentices with great cruelty, particularly the little boys, in forcing them up those small clues, which the boy was unwil ling to ascend ?—Yes, I have forced up many a one myself. What methods do they use to make them go up ?—I have seen them make them strip themselves naked, and threaten to beat them. I have been obliged to go up a chimney naked, but I do not like to see my children do so. Thomas'Allen examined. What trade are you ?—A chimney sweeper. At what age did you begin ?—When I was between four and five years of age. John Fisher, chimney sweeper, examined. Is your boy small of his age ?—Yes. Do you employ him to ascend small flues ?—Yes, because I have only got him, I am obliged to get my living by him, or else I must go without. Has he ever been injured ?—Yes, but never by sweeping chimneys. What was the matter with him ?—The doctor said it was an inward complaint. Thomas Allen re-examined. What do you mean by getting the boy's pence ?—They get a penny or two, or so, and the journeyman takes it from them, and licks them if they do not give it up. Do the boys have any part of the receipts of the Ist of May?—They have about a shilling or eighteen pence, the journeyman has his share, and then the master takes the re mainder. How long is a boy generally in the flue to which you have alluded?—l went in at eight and came out at two. What are the smallest flues up which boys are sent ? Seven inches. Square ?—Yes. Each way ?—Yes ; that is the smallest we ever send a boy up. This testimony needs no comment? The book must be read, and this use of children must be done away with. And until the bill passes the public is cautioned against employing any man to use the machine who retains even one child in his service for the purpose of sweeping chimneys, unless he wishes to be disappointed. HERRING FISHING. (From the Fifeshire Journal.) The value of this national branch of industry, and the great success with which it has been prosecuted in the Frith of Forth for the last two years, gives much interest to every thing connected With it, and makes it a matter of extreme consequence that the fishing should be conducted in the manner most beneficial, and at the same time most likely to lead to its continuance. Any mode of fishing likely to injure it in future years ought obviously to be exposed, and, if pos sible, put a stop to. When the herrings are in deep water, they are invariably taken by means of floating the nets ; and they are thus taken alive, and those not taken are left undis turbed. It is to be regretted, however, that when the her ring come into shallower water—say eight or nine fathoms — which they do for the purpose of spawning, this excellent practice is not attended to. The fishermen say they cannot, under such circumstances, fish with floating nets, as the depth of water will not permit it ; and they, therefore, anchor their nets at the bottom as the only means of preventing the herrings from making their escape. That this practice is exceedingly injurious, and has had the effect of altogether destroying the fishing on many stations, is the opinion, we believe, of the oldest and most experienced fishermen ; in deed, ie habits of the herring confirms this opinion. They visit the shores periodically for the purpose of depositing their spawn, and it is obvious that during this time they ought not to be disturbed. The fishermen say they cannot take the herring when in the shallow water without anchor ing the nets; but the real truth is, it would be better, in every point of view, they were altogether let alone. Many reasons might be adduced in favour of this opinion ; and not the least important is, that in such cases the fish are foul, and really unfit for human food. The fishermen, no doubt, obtain a little present gain, but they must all be aware that it is often attended with the loss of their nets. A most important reason why the practice should be dis continued, however, is, that where anchored nets are used, numbers of fish are killed that are not taken, because anchor ed nets cannot be brought, with all their contents into the boat on account of the great weight of fish caught therein. The nets being thus left at the bottom with myriads of dead fish in them, the fishing ground is thus rendered foul, and the fish leave immediately, as it is known no animal will stop among its own dead. There is another reason we would impress upon all interested in the herring fishing, why this mode of fishing with anchored nets should be given up, and it is this, that there is reason to believe, the habits of the herring are analogous to those of the salmon; and that were they allowed to deposit their spawn in quiet, there is every reason to beli eve , th at w h en f u ll grown they w ill re t urn to their nati ve groun d . But it the spawning ground is di stur b e d coast, there can and tbfieenfios fish destroyed,oubt the a a herring w as at Dunbar as we ll a s upon this coast in by the perni c i ous pract i ce of fishing with anc h ore d ne t s , fact it has b een o f ten noticed that the i coasts for a time, an d th en quit • and the e y r l al her ef e bs tr di former t i ei v ar e b n . lyy. e f at r hr o se m . ot the be fickle in their t as t es and uncertain their i ri ta n v g e m v b l oo s o l vn t e ms e tt e ei r dn t ai st n o; but we believe the real fact to be, that they seek qu i e t spawn ing ground, and that we re they allowed rest at that important season, they would continue to freque n n w t st an v y al c n o a t they had creasing fishery might he secured, if attention weree and apbsav n i in creasing once adopted ; and thus a certain, o sbionngtletocisrpcua ciwn. rcumstance i o s f h l o et p t e h l i e g ss th t e o m sp a e lo ak ne t w atefine spawning, or othrea on the subject, who get present gain by the presen ' t , not only to their great loss of the but they may depend upon it they arc driving the fish from y ra , r b y ut g t u o in the the coast, and are sacrificing years of regular profit and ad country in general.

It is a pply to ffaged too little notice, but it ought to be subject which has en D ag forced on public attention.

The attendance, owing to causes explained by the rev. chairman, was very limited. As, however, a deputation from the Parent Society, consisting of the Rev. A. Minchin, of Kilrea, Londonderry, and the Rev. Mr. Speck, one of the Secretaries, was in attendance, it was not considered advisa ble to dismiss the audience without giving some informatiop as to the nature, objects, and doings of the society. The Rev. A. KNOX took the chair, and opened the pro ceedings by supplicating the divine blessing upon them. The CHAIRMAN then said that the usual annual meeting was intended to have been held, cot on that night, but in the course of the ensuing week, when a number of friends, now unavoidably absent. had promised to attend. It was, how ever, found that the Music Hall could not be obtained in the ensuing week, and the meeting had therefore been prematurely fixed. No notice had, in consequence of this circumstance, been given in any of the churches, which served in a great degree to explain the limited attendance. A regular meeting would, he said, be held in a few months, of which full notice would be given. The Rev. J. SPECK, A. 8., then addressed the meeting. The society, which had for its objects the promotion of scrip tural education in Ireland, together with the circulation of the holy scriptures, had its origin in the philanthropy of a few English gentlemen residing in the metropolis (whence it was called the London Hibernian Society), and bad now been in existence for thirty-four years, having, during that period, educated many hundred thousands, both of children and adults, not only in reading, writing, and arithmetic, but in the knowledge of the word which maketh wise unto salva tion. There were at present in connection with the society 2484 schools, of three classes, day, Sunday, and adult, con taining 114,132 scholars. The day schools were in number 1157, containing 91,074 scholars, of whom nearly 35,000 were the children of Roman Catholic parents. It was well known that in Ireland the Roman Catholic population were deprived of the use of the Bible ; but the fact of 35,000 of their children being in the society's schools was a proof that they had a wish for it. The cost of educating each child, and educating it, too, as well could be done, was about 2s 6d or 2s 9d. The masters were paid according to the profici ency of the scholars. Each child was expected not only to read the Bible, but to learn a certain portion of it by heart, and quarterly examinations, conducted by regularly ap pointed inspectors, took place, at which the children were examined as to the extent of their Biblical knowledge. Those who fell short were not passed, and for those the mas ter received no remuneration. The speaker related several instances where the scriptural knowledge of the children had been effectual in awakening a spirit of inquiry in the minds of their Roman catholic parents, which had terminated in their effectual conversion. The adult schools, likewise, were ef fecting a great amount of good, of which he pave several de lightful instances. 1-le remembered having seen in one of thc: schools two old men between sixty and seventy years cf age, who, twelve months previously had not been able to read a single sentence, sitting side by side studyin g the holy scrip tures. During the past year the society had distributed twenty-five thousand copies of the word of God. There were now before the society one hundred and twenty applications from clergymen for schools, and most of them from parts of the country where the society much wished to place them. He mentioned in conclusion, that there was one school near Limerick, containing one - hundred and twenty-five children, only one of which was a protestant, mid all were receiving a scriptural education. The Rev. A. MrscuiN followed. He spoke of the sim plicity of the machinery employed by the society, - the great good which it had and was likely to accomplish, and the slight cost at which a child could be educated, and in a most effi cient manner. Some of the scholars were able to repeat, without missing a word, a large portion of the gospel of St. Luke,, some the epistle to the Ephesians, some the epistle to the omans, and so on, and their general acquaintance with the Bible was superior to that of many well-informed and pious men. During the past year 44,000 children had passed the quarterly inspector's scrutiny. The reverend gentleman spoke with much feeling and power of the advantages of a scriptural education. What, he asked, was edUcation with out the Bible? What the casket without the jewel ? What the firmament without the sun ? What the body without the spirit ? " Knowledge is power;" but knowledge in the hands of a fallen spirit was a dangerous thing. Hs observed, in conclusion, that through the instrumentality of liberal edu cation in Ireland, and biblical education in *Scotland, under the visitation and blessing of the Prince of the kings of the the earth, the Lord Jesus Christ, a blessed temple would be erected in the United Kingdom, in which the rose Would cast its thorns, the thistle shed its spears, and the shamrock emit a brighter green. A collection was made, though not large in amount, and the meeting, which was opened with prayer and closed with a doxology, then separated, having lasted about an hour.

His lordship has nearly completed his canvass; and to-day's result fully bears out the confident tone in which he had before spoken of his success. General Trevor's friends appear in anything but good spirits ; and the most sanguine of his supporters only express an opinion that the contest will be a close one—and this owin g to the defection from the conservative ranks of Mr. J. V. Shelley, who has been canvassing for the minis terial candidate.

She was built at Greenock, in the yard of Messrs. Scott and Sinclair, and is one of the finest vessels of her class ever launched. Her timbers and bends are of English oak, her keel and bottom of American elm. She is' rigeed as a ship having three masts, and is a very beautiful model, square at the stern, with a flush deck. Sh e measures from her main stem to the after part of her taffrail precisely 200 feet 6 inches, and from the foie part of her stem (or what tradesmen would call her inside measurement) to the after part of her stern, aloft, 189 feet. Her after hold is 10 feet high by 45 feet long. The lower sleeping cabins are' 6 feet 11 inches high by 6 feet 3 inches in length. The grand cabin or saloon, a very elegant apartment, and fitted up with great taste, is 8 feet 2 inches in height, and 43' feet in length. Her burden is 1206 tops, and her power 350 horses. The engine is completely concealed from those on deck, except they actually go in search of it, and all her ap pointments are as convenient and snug as can be imagined. There are eighty sleeping berths, besides all other accommo dations ; a cellar, with room for 1000 dozen of bottles, &e. She is upon the whole one of the corapactest vessels ever seen, and with tolerably fair weather would perform the voyage to India in two months. She is estimated to cost upwards of .£4o,ooo.—Times.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MARCH G. The Sugar market is very barely supplied, and the sales in conse quence are limited to 700 hhds. 8.P., for which an advance of Is 4) , cwt. has been obtained ; and at this improvement there still con tinues a good demand. 5400 bags of Bengal have been taken at extreme rates.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 6. • -- The demand during the week has been only on a moderate scale, but principally from the trade, and sufficient to keep prices steady; no alteration, therefore, can be made in the quotations, excepting for Brazil, which is again rather higher. 820 Sea Island and 180 Stained ditto were offered by auction to-day, of which only 23 0 Sea Island and 70 Stained ditto found buyers. at prices rather below sales by private, but, on the whole, very similar to the public sales of the 91st ultimo. 800 American, 120 Surat, and 300 Bengal have been taken for export, and 1000 American on speculation.

During the last seven days a few cargoes of Barley have got up from the English coast, but, with this exception, the arrivals of British Grain, &c. into this port have been inconsiderable. The imports from abroad comprise 2800 qrs. of Wheat, 2100 qrs. of Oats, 2100 qrs. of Barley, and 630 bets. of Flour, the latter from the United States. Duties have been paid upon 116 qrs. of Wheat, 166 qrs. of Barley, 363 qrs. of Beans, 140 qrs. of Peas, and 428 brls, of Flour. Throughout this period the Wheat trade has continued in that inert position in which we have had occasion to report it for several previous weeks, the millers and dealers restricting their purchases to the supplying of their immediate wants, and the im porters firmly holding their samples for full prices. There is little free American Flour now in the market : it is selling in small parcels at 44s 6d to 45s per barrel. From 4000 to 5000 brls. have changed hands, in bond, at 31s per barrel. Upon a moderate de mand good rnealing Oats have brought 3s gd to 3s 10d ; choice 3s lld per 451bs. Oatmeal is slow sale at 33s tid to 348 6d per 2401b5. Good samples of English and Foreign malting Barley have found buyers at 45s to 46s ; tine Chevalier at 47s to 48s per im perial quarter.—Beans and Peas as last noted. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MARCH 9. Speculation is rife in the Butter trade,—the continued frosty weather, trifling supply, and brisk London accounts contributing much to the operations of capitalists, "ex Cathedra." For fine Belfast Butter 112 s is agreably asked, and some (late Share holders) boldly demand 115 s per cwt. Beef and Pork firmly supported. Bacon is again is per cwt. dearer, LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 9. The supply of Beasts to-day was double the number of last week ; high prices were demanded, which caused the trade to be dull in the early part of the day. The best quality of Beef sold at 6id ; second quality tid ; inferior s.id, and at the close of the day a large number of Beasts were unsold rather than submit to the above prices. The number of Sheep was a little larger than last week ; the show was by no means good, there being a scarcity of prime Wethers ; they realized 7/d to sd ; second quality 71 1 d; inferior 7d.
