(From the Globe Ministerial Paper.) We can confidently state that the marriage of her Majesty will take place at the. Chapel Royal, St. James's, either on Monday, the 10th February, or Thursday, the 13th February; but on which of these days has not yet been positively deter mined, although it will in all probability he the latter, as the court mourning does not cease until Sunday, the 9th. The august and solemn ceremony will be performed by daylight, in the Chapel Royal, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who will he assisted by the Bishop of London—the dean of the chapel. Her Majesty on the day of the nuptials will leave Buckingham Palace, accompanied by her august mother, the Duchess of Kent, and proceed to St. James's Palace, enter ing by the garden-gate, where she will be met by the various branches of the royal family, who will be there to receive her. It is intended that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex should give the royal bride away if the state of his health permit him to undergo the fatigues of the day ; otherwise this part of the ceremonial will be performed by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Her Majesty, with all the members of the royal household, together with the different members of the Royal Family, will assemble in the Throne Room and in the Ambassadors' Closet, while Prince Albert with his suite will muster in the Ante-Throne Room. Queen Anne's Room, the Tapestry Room, and the Guard Room, through which the royal cor tlye will pass, will be fitted up with seats to view the proces sion from the Palace to the Chapel, as will also the Flag Court (immediately opposite the entrance to the Chapel Royal), and the latter will have accommodation of this kind for nearly 500 persons. These arrangements will be admira bly adapted for affording means of witnessing all that passes. The body of the Chapel Royal will be fitted up with raised seats for the accommodation of the nobility and the household ; and the royal family will be placed around the altar. After the celebration of the royal nuptials, her Majesty and the Prince Consort will leave London for Windsor Castle. Prince Albert may be expected to arrive in England very shortly, and apartments have already been secured for his Serene Highness, at Payne's Royal York Hotel, Dover. The mayor, aldermen, and town council, of the city of Can terbury have called a meeting to prepare Addresses to be presented to the Prince on his way to London. In the evening of the day of the nuptials of her Majesty a sumptuous banquet will take place in the celebrated ban queting rooom built by George IV., which has never been used since the accession to the throne of Queen Victoria. Dinners will also been given on a scale of magnificence befitting the occasion by all the Cabinet Ministers. (From the Sunday Paper which proclaims itself as under the especial patronage of the Queen.) The whOle of the plans - for the alterations in the interior and exterior of St. James's Chapel, preparatory to her Majesty's marriage, are now complete. On Wednesday, her Majesty, accompanied by the Earl of Uxbridge, the Lord Chamberlain, and some of her suite, visited the chapel in person, and in spected the drawings of the galleries which it is proposed to erect, with a view to increasing the accommodation, which were submitted to her Majesty by Mr. Phipps, of the Board of Works. These, we understand, her Majesty approved ; and orders were given for the construction of the framework elsewhere, as it was determined not to interfere with the cele bration of the ordinary Sabbath service till the last moment ; and this day her Majesty and the royal hoUsehold will attend Divineworthip as usual. While the architectural part of the arrangements are thus in progress, the drawings of the intend ed hangings and decorations, which are to be of the most tasteful and splendid description, have also been inspected and adopted ; and Mr. Bailey, the upholsterer, has been ac tively engaged in forwarding them, so as to be ready for their introduction with as little delay as possible. The whole of the interior of the chapel, which is extremely plain, having been rebuilt and lined with oak about three years back, will be completely metamorphosed, and present an aspect of a very brilliant description. And, as it is now believed the nup tials will take place on the 13th of February, the workmen have directions to commence operations to-morrow morning, and complete their duties with all speed. The gallery for the accommodation of privileged spectators in the Court-yard, which is considerably advanced, extends the whole length of the covered way leading to the State apartments, and is constructed with great solidity. It is to be covered in and lined with cloth ; and filled, as it, no no doubt, will be, by the elite of the fashionable world, it will present a,coup d'aiil of imposing magnificence, upon which the argand lamps to be inserted in the roof will throw a lustre. There are, we bear, to be no extraordinrry preparations in the state apartments of St. James's Palace, from whence her Majesty will proceed to the chapel, accompanied by Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, the bride's-maids, and all the officers of state—according to a programme to be heareafter arranged, and as nearly conformable to the precedent afforded in the marriage of George 111. and Queen Charlotte as pos sible. The programme of the ceremonial will, we apprehend, be prepared in the department of the Earl Marshal and issued shortly before the all-important and auspicious day. A correspondent of the Globe has thought proper in the course of the week to question our statement that Prince Albert, when a child, had been the associate of her Majesty ; but we believe, if he extend his inquiry, lie will find that his royal highness in early life was on a visit in this country to her Royal Higness the Duchess of Kent, and that, with Prince Geor g e of Cumberland, and Prince George of Causbridge, he was frequently the companion of the then Princess Victoria, who even thus early felt a childish attach ment to him from the great mildness and amiability of his manners. We admit that from that period till 1835, when he came over to England with his father and brother, all personal intimacy had ceased. THE AUSTRALIAN BOMNIERENG. This is a thin, curved missile about two feet four inches long. by a skilful native so as to rise upon th windand can be thrown with a rotatory motion, and in a crooked direction, towards any a given point ornd to return, with any given point with great precision, after a considerable flight, to within a yardtwo of the thrower; or, by first striking the ground near h o m ie , o t t o t l!ound so as to hit at a given distance, en ricochet, any a tree. This is a very singular weapon, and probably origin atedel'ind in the utility of such a missile for the purpose ofkilli ducks where they are very numerous, as on the interior rivers and lagunes ; and where, accordingly, we find it much " more in use than on the sea-coast, and better made, being often covered with good carving.—Mitchell's Australia. -- NEW IMPRISONMENT BILL._NOST IMPORTANT TO IN SOLVENTs.—It appears that several clauses have been in serted in the new gaol regulation act, of the most vital im portance t o debtors going to gaol, and yet the public seem to be completely in the dark respecting th em. B y the sth, 7th, anti Bth clauses in the gaol regulation ac t, p risoners confined for prisoners are to he treated precisely in the same manner as committ e d for crime—that is, on going int o g aol, their persons are to be searched—all letters ope ned and read —their money is to be taken from them, and to be deposited with the keeper—and whatever correspondence takes place between them, their . creditors, relatives, or friends, during their remaining i n surve ill a nce. The iclrillts,?n, is to be subjected to the strictest upon the chaplain. w • e of e this delicate investigation devolves powers vested that the first agitation of the question as to the prisons towards debtors, vested in the keepers of various sultory conversation occurredamongstt,e a few weeks ago, in a de sessions at the judge's lodgings, Lancaster. sitting in petty gentlemen were of opinion, that - '" t Taster. Some of the duced some time back by the visiting le regulation" intro tain privileges and comforts were• justices, lo, by which cer according to their ability to provide them, to the debtors seded by the clauses above mentioned, an , d had been super which they held before the new regulation that the power as taken out of their hands. As there was a variance 'in construingthese clauses, the home secretary, Lord Norrnanby, wag addressed, , a— and his opinion req uested, whether debtors came under term "prisoners in the act. His lordship, in ai mder , the stated that they do so ; and that, in pursuance of 41 1 e . ' has their persons, on entering gaol, must be searched, their money et , taken from them, and their letters read, as well as those the crown prisoners. As may be well supposed, as soon as this circumstance became known amongst the debtors in the county gaol, they were seized with the greatest consternation and asto n i s h men t ; for hitherto the debtors' side has been governed according to the old regulation. When the indig tatdign of soin.', the surprise of others, and the anxiety of all, a in some deree subsided, the question with "the repub lic"e was,—What, must he done ? Some, " the high spirits of 1 3 ac,e 7for from these a prison is not exempt—were for tr • ying physical force the moment such hateful regulations were put in practice; but the " master minds" suggested a wiser and more constitutional plan,whieh.the old was to have a cops of old regulations transni• i t t o tetlte the home secretary throu g h the magistrates favourable their continuance. This was done in the early part of last wee; therefore the debtors are at present awaiting the decision is of his lordship with no little anxiety and doubt. Thereanother point, too, which we omitted to mention previous' equally interested —namely, ', y , , ,h r e i t r i which the debtors feel their friends or otherwise, by whatie i r a those who, through called ' garnish,' or paying a stated sum of money, enjoy certain • acc.ommoda tions in the various apartments of the prison, will have this privilege continue d to them ; or, whet , er they , are all to be placed on the county allowance." u At present, i n the yard, several stalls with various articles of consump ti on, beef, bread, vegetables, &c., as well as second - hand clothes stand s, are erected. But, if t he debtors are not to be allowed t have any money, as a mat ter of course, these will no longer° be required; and the whole co mmunit y within the walls, s, debtors and criminals, will be p laced on the same diet. Probably in the course of next week, we shall be enabled to acquaint our readers with Lord Normanby's decision upon this important subject. —Martcheeter Guardian. " Mr. Duncan, who has been engaged for several years in collecting information on this subject for government, has kindly furnished me with a list of streets and courts where diseases are most prevalent. " During two years (1837 and 1838) 7469 patients ill of fever were visited by the officers of the dispensaries. Of this number about 2300 (considerably more than one-third) resided in courts, and about 1900 (more than one-fourth) in cellars ; the remaining 2700 or 2800 living in houses, or houses in streets, chiefly in lodging-houses, where a number of families or individuals are crowded together. " ' The streets in which the greatest number of cases oc curred are exactly those which are the filthiest and worst ven tilated, and in which the greatest number of inhabitants are compressed into the smallest compass. But that you may judge for yourself. I give you a list of some of the worst. " Fourthly—New and wide streets should he opened through the crowded parts of the town. Squares should also be formed in several places sufficiently large for the inhabit ants, particularly children, to exercise themselves in. Hot and cold baths could, in many of those squares, be erected, at a very small expense, especially in the neighbourhood of steam engines. " Parks also, for the inhabitants to promenade in, or, in other words, for equestrian and pedestrian exercise, similar to those in London, Edinburgh, and in towns on the conti nent, should be formed by the corporation, and not in stinted surfaces, but containing two or three thousand acres. " The only places at present appropriated to such purposes are the Prince's and George's Pierheads, St. James's Walk and Cemetery—the latter, however, being altogether unfit, from the causes already explained ! But how few, compara tively, of the inhabitants can avail themselves of those places, being removed to such distances from their residences : thus, then, the necessity of making such improvements is at once manifest. . . " Fifthly—The church yards should also be shut up ; con sequently, new cemeteries would be required ; these should be formed at a distance of two or three miles from the town. " Lastly—ln the allotment of land for building purposes, the streets should never he less in width than 40 feet, and laid off in straight lines-and right angles. The leading streets should, as mach as possible, be conformable with the pre vailing currents of wind; nor should the houses be allowed to approach from back to back nearer than 20 yards. The sewers should all be formed previous to any of the houses being built ; and each house should be amply supplied with water-closets. _ . " No courts in cul de sae should be tolerated ; in short, nothing but thorough streets of a sufficient width should be erected. " In order to have all this done properly, it is only neces sary for the corporation of Liverpool to have a correct sur vey of the town and environs made, and a plan of the whole laid out in a manner consistent with the general interests of the community ; and, by obtaining an act of parliament, the whole could be carried into execution with little or no diffi culty This has been done in other towns, and why not here ? " This may be objected to by many on the scpre of ex pense; but I maintain that, in the long run, it would more than repay it all, and in many ways. Poor rates would be lessened—the amount of crime would also be reduced ; but, above all, the life and health of the inhabitants, which at present appear to be a matter of the utmost indifference, would, by adopting the measures proposed, be protected and prolonged." The paper was followed by some observations by Drs. Bryce and Sutherland, who entirely concurred with the view of the subject talLn by Mr. Cunningham. They also men tioned some facts connected with their own medical expe rience of Liverpool, as compared with other large towns in England and on the continent, tending to corroborate the fact that the health of large towns, in a great measure, de pended on the sanitory measures adopted by its municipal authorities. Vottrp. DIALOGUE B TWESN A PATRICIAN LADY AND A BOY FROM THE MOUNTAIN, WHOM SHE WISHES TO ADOPT AS HER SON. LADY. " Why wouldst thou leave me, oh ! gentle child? Thy home on the mountain is bleak and wild — A straw-roofed cabin with lowly wall Mine is a fair and pillar'd hall, Where many an image of marble gleams, And the sunshine of pictures for ever streams." BOY. " Oh! green is the turf where my brothers play, Through the long bright hours of the summer day ; They find the red-cup moss where they climb, And they chase the bee o'er the scented thynie ; And the rocks where the heath-flower blooms they know Lady, kind lady, Oh I let me go I" LADY. " Content thee, hoy, in my bower to dwell! Here are sweet sounds which thou lowest well ; Flutes on the air in the stilly noon — Harps which the wandering breezes tune ; And the silvery wood-note of many a bird, Whose voice was ne'er in thy mountains heard." Boy. " My mother sings at the twilight's fall, A song of the hills far more dear than all; She sings it under our own green tree, To the babe half slumbering on her knee ; I dreamt last night of that music low Lady, kind lady, oh! let me go !" • LADY. " Thy mother bath gone from her cares to rest ! She hath taken the babe on her quiet breast ; Thou wouldst meet her footstep, my boy, no more, Nor hear her song at the cabin door ; Come, then, with me to the vineyards nigh, • • And we'll pluck the grapes of the richest dye." HOY. "Is my mother brothersm her home away But I know that my are there at play I know they are gathering the fox-glovebell, And the long fern leaves by the sparkling well ; Or they launch their boat where the blue streams flow Lady, kind lady, oh! let me go !" LADY. " Fair child, thy brothers are wanderers now. They sport no more on the mountain's brow ; Th e y have left the fern by the spring's green hide, And the streams where the fairy barks were tied ; Be thou at peace in thy brighter lot, For thy cabin home is a lonely spot !" BOY. " Are they gone—all gone from the sunny hill? But the bird and the blue fly rove o'er it still ; And the red deer bound in their gladness free, And the heath is bent by the singing bee ; And the waters leap, and the fresh winds blow, Then, lady, kind lady, Oh! let me go !" HElkiAlv.S HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAC4E-PREPARATIONS FOR THE CEREMONY. LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY. . (Concluded from the Standard,qf Tuesday. The subject of the burial of the dead in the interior of large towns was next brought under notice, and some extracts were read from a work treating on the subject, " Walker's Gather ings from Grave Yards," from which it would appear, that the mephitic gas generated by the decomposition of animal matter is one of the most frightful sources of disease. Some of the remedial measures were then suggested. " The first (says Mr. Cunningham) and most important improvement that could suggest would be to establish a complete scavenging system, whereby the collective filth of the town, the ashes, the vegetable and offal animal matter, and other •impurities produced. tte .'preceding day, 'might be removed every morning•or evening, by a sufficient number of dust outs, to a distance of one' or two miles froM the town, so as not to corrupt the salubrity of the atmosphere. This would form an excellent compost for agricultural purposes, as at London, Edinburgh, &c. where the annual revenue arisin; from the sale of it is very considerable. Secondly—The sewers should be immediately used for carrying off the soil from the water closets, and carried through • every street in the town. The eyes to the sewers, as I have already mentioned, should be trapped. " Thirdly—A sufficient supply of water, when little rain falls, should he made to flow, at least twice a week, copiously through the gutters of every street, and thence through the common sewers. The result of this irregular and unsystematic arrange ment, (if it can be so termed,) independently of the narrow ness of the streets, must be a complete preventive to any thing like a free circulation of air. " The courts from those narrow streets are rendered still worse, in regard to that essential provision of nature, by their small entrances and high surrounding walls. By these means, also, the light of day is nearly excluded, a full supply of which is almost as important as the air, for the health of human beings. • " This want of a free circulation of air and a full supply of light must, therefore, be highly prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants, who are compelled, by their circumstances, to reside in those places ; btit these are aggravated tenfold in their fatal effects by the putrid exhalations which arise from the decomposition of the immense quantities of filth, mixed with the offal of animal and vegetable matter, that are trea sured up in their privies and ash pits for months together. " It is an ascertained fact, that the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter produces gaseous poisons of a most virulent character to the human system. The unhealthy condition of marshy districts in this and other countries is attributed entirely to this cause. - " When such places, therefore, having at all times a full supply of free air and light, are so obnoxious to human ex istence, how much more must those confined abodes be where the poison is inhaled in a comparatively concentrated form. " This putrifying and poisoning process, however, is not confined entirely to the narrow streets and crowded courts, but is spread over the whole town, though in a greatly modi fied state, in the more respectable portions of it, where the streets are wide and the population less dense ; still its de structive influence is at work, more slow in its operation probably, but certainly not the less sure in its consequences. " The effects of this poisonous matter on the animal sys tem have been proved by Dr. Majendie, some of whose experiments I beg to read to you." The extracts referred to were then read, wherein was shown that the putrid matter, arising from animal decompo sition, was collected and condensed by this celebrated phy siologist. He could produce with this matter so collected typhus fever in all its gradations, in proportion to the con centrated state in which it was injected into the veins of the different animals experimented on, whereas, the putrid matter arising from vegetable decomposition, injected in a similar manner, produced all the stages of tertian fever. Mr. Cunningham then proceeds,— " I have endeavoured to arrive at an approximate extent of surface giving off those poisonous exhalations in this town, by taking the number of inhabitants at 250,000, (which I - believe, is considerably under the actual number.) and allowing eight individuals as an average number for each family, and for each family a privy and ash-pit, together 6 feet by 3, we have an active pestilential generating surface of 62;500 superficial yards, or nearly 13 imperial acres. " This surface of masses of corrupting matter is, in hot weather, sufficient of itself to evolve malaria enough 'to de stroy the whole inhabitants ; and when we reflect that tens of thousands are immured in it, without the smallest chance of escaping its deadly influences, deprived also of an adequate supply of air and light, we cannot be surprised at the great mortality that must be produced by such a combination of evils. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o'clock We have received copies of the St. John's (N. B.) Weekly Chronicle to the 3d instant inclusive. The last 'advices from England, received at St. John's, were to the 10th of December, by the fast-sailing ship Robert Bruce, which made the passage out from. thiS port in the extraordinarily short space of seventeen days. There is no news of importance in the papers before us. A cabinet council was summoned last night, by di rection of Lord Normanby, to meet at the Foreign office to-day, at 12 o'clock. Before that hour this morning all the ministers had assembled, and remained in deliberation when we went to press.—Standard of yesterday. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—We are happy to observe a slight improvement in the demand for woollens ; the vessels recently arrived from the._ York having brought not merely favourable ac counts of the money markets in the United States, but also several orders. There ate 'rather more hands employed than there were some weeks ago, and as the confidence of com mercial men is restored trade will gradually improve. BRADFORD lyfAnicET..—At this market on Thursday there was an iniproted deMand for Saxony cloths and for Ali Pacha figured stuff goods, but in other descriptions of manu factured articles there was no material variation as to de mand. The yarn market was brisker, and there -was a slight improvement in prices realised. The wool market was much More active than of late, the principal demand being for the inferior descriptions of combing wool, which fetched higher prices than recently. Of both long and short wools the stock in the hands of the staplers is considered scanty, and for short wool as well as long wool there is an improved de mand. WAKEFIELD Woof. MARKET, JAN. 24.—Without being able to quote much variation either in demand or prices from our last week's report, in consequence of the unprecedented lightness of the supply in the market of all deep combing wools, more firmness is evinced by holders, and the ten dency of pri ces i s s till t o r ise. The best blanket wools are scarce and much inquired for; other sorts are without al teration. HolvwELL.—The greatest distress prevails in this town principally caused by the stopping of the extensive cottoi mills. THE MARKET FOR METALS has been again very much depressed, and even iron has declined about ss. per ton. Manufactured copper is, however, in some demand at an ad vanee of Id. per lb. ; and in East India tin there have been sides at 70s. per . Cilt. These sales. have, however, been on a small scale, and the arrival of supplies would undoubtedly cause the value to decline of both copper and tin. LANCA SHlRE.—The_trade in cotton factories, at most of the towns in the neighbourhood of Manchester, has improved a little with respect to the quantity of work ; but the wages of most of the operatives have lately undergone a reduction of ten or twelve per cent: The hands in most of the mills at Royton have only been partially at work during the last twelve months-; but, within the last few days, the machinery in all the cotton manufactories has commenced working full time ; yet one spinner does the work that two have done before, in cons equence of which many are thrown out of employment. The cotton manufacturers at many other towns have adopted the same plan. The 'ratting trade at Oldham, Denton, and has improved a littl e , an d b an d s h ave more b t other places, employment than they had six weeks ago. There are better prospects for several other trades than there was a month since ; yet there is great distress, principally on account of the'high prices of provisions, and the low state of wages to be obtained by operatives of every description. At Stock port there are many factory operatives turned out on account of the attempted reduction in wages of spinners and others. It is believed by many, that there is more distress in Oldham than in any other part of Lancashire : no fewer than 1100 factory operatives are out of work. The silk weaving, a t Middleton, Failsworth, Leigh, &c. very slow ; improves daily, but it is advanced the weavers' wages for fine figured sarcenets, woven yet some of the manufacturers have this week with a machine called a jacquard. Fine satins, and the finer sort of plain goods, are also in better request. There are prospects of a moderate good trade in the man ufacture of silk goods. Th e calico block printers at some plac es have rather more wo r k th an they had a month ago. • Mechanics in every town in L ancas h ire slack ; indeed, there are a very great number out of ern ploy in ent.—Preston Chronicle.

According to the France, a congress of the Northern Sove reigns was to be held next spring at Dresden, to deliberate on the Eastern and Spanish questions. NEW REPRESENTATIVE PEER- - The Dublin Gazette, of Friday evening , announces the election of Lord Crofton, in the room of the late Earl of Kingston. We are happy to hear, from the best authority, that Sir Ralph Lopes has completed a most successful canvass of the borough of Westbury. REPRESENTATION OF LICHFIELD. — Captain Dyott has declared himself a candidate :or the representation of this city at the next election, upon the Conservative interest. The Hon.

Suoaa.—The merchants evinced much firmness, and the prices established on Friday were fully supported, at which some of them were not inclined to sell ; there was a brisk demand from the grocers for all descriptions, and the refiners were buyers to a fair extent. . . . . -- - _ I. REI ov.--There was much passing by private contract, but prices underwent no change; the public sale of 2000 boxes Havana is put of: 40 cheVs brown Rio were offered, and sold at full prices, viz, low yellow at 22s to 22s 6d, and ordinary to good brown at 20s to 21s per cwt. Covets.--There was mulch inquiry for clean West India Coffee, but the small supply prevented the execution of large orders. There are few buyers of either St. Domingo or Brazil. TA 1.L0w.---There was only a limited business doing in Peters burg Yellow Candle on the spot, or for delivery in the spring months ; but there are no tellers 'under 49s fid for the former, and 43s 3d for the latter purpose. RuM, BRANDY, and Hor.t.A Nos.—For Jamaica RuM there has been an active demand, and prices have further improved Ihd to '2d per gallon. A government contract for 80,000 gallons of Rum is declared for Thursday, Btandy has secured a fair sale ; first brands of the vintage of 18311 at 5s Id to 5s 2d, ditto of 11U7 4s lid to 5s Id, ditto of 1833 4s 7d to is lat per gallon, and at these rates holders are firm. Geneva sells slowly at 2s to 2s id per gallon. The demand for British Corn Spirits has been limited, and some contracts have been made at Os 10d, but most of the distillers are unwilling to sell under lOs per gallon, and even this price is unre munerating. RESPITE OF FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES. The Attorney and Solicitor-General, and some of the Judges, had an interview with Lord Normanby, at the -Home-office, last evening ; after which a respite (we understand) was sent (by post) to Monmouth, for Frost, Williams, and Jones. It is expected that their fate will be finally settled at the cabinet council sitting to-day. In the course of this morning an immense number of petitions, praying her Majesty to spare the lives of the prisoners, were received at the Home-office from all parts of the country.—Standard of yesterday. LIVERPOOL MARKETS.-THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. Although the late high winds have materially abated, the arrivals of Wheat and other Grain into this port are still unimportant ; about 6000 sacks of Irish Oatmeal, and 6000 barrels of American Flour, forming the principal supplies fresh up for to-day. Since our account of Tuesday last, the proceedings in the Corn Trade here have been generally upon a limited scale. The leading articles, nevertheless, continued to be held with rather more firmness ; and for Wheat, in consequence of the gradually decreasing stock in granary, somewhat higher prices were required. The duty on Oats is increased to 12s. 3d., on Beans to Bs. per quarter, and upon all other Foreign Produce remains un altered. At our market this morning, upon a slender attendance of buyers, and the millers, having bought freely in the early part of the week, evinced little disposition to purchase extensively to-day, the transactions in Wheat therefore were only mode rate in amount; without any diminution in the confidence of holders, however, all descriptions of old fully maintained the rates of Tuesday, and in a few partial instances such ob tained a slight improvement in value, whilst the general qualities of new being mostly damp and ordinary, were very difficult of sale and rather cheaper.. In English and Irish, Flour continued to meet very little notice, and scarcely supported former prices ; foreign, duty paid, on the contrary, commanded fully as high terms as be fore, and 3,000 to 4,000 barrels of States Flour have again changed hands at about 30s. _ _ Barley, upon a moderate demand, sustained our last cur rency ; and Malt, being scarce, was quite as dear as on Tues day.—Beans and Pease in slow request, and the turn lower. Oats being rather more saleable, realized a small advance ; but Oatmeal, in the absence of country dealers, met a very dull sale at a slight depression in value.

The Earl of Kingstown is about establishing an agricultu ral model school at Mitchclstown,- to take apprentices, and have them bred up as working farmers. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton, with Lady Charlotte Gre vile, Viscount Enilyn, and their family, were still at Rome, when the last letters were received, all in good health. • No time is fixed for the return to this country of his lordship. It is said that five of the magistrates of the borough of Birmingham have forwarded their resignations to the Home Office. A perfectly white pheasant was shot on the Blathon estate, the property of the late Archibald Duncan, Esq., a few days since.-- Worcester Herald. BANK OF ENGLAND. — The court of directors on the 234 January resolved—" That the rate of interest on bills of ex change and notes discounted at the Bank of England be five per cent. from this day." WEALTH OF THE CHURCH.—The income of the clergy, of every kind whatever, amounts to less than three millions and a half ; which, if equally divided, would give about £3OO per annum to each clergyman ; and in the whole is about equal to the sum spent by the people of England in tobacco and snuff. The duty alone on tobacco has often exceeded three millions in the year. So that it would appear that we thrust up our nostrils in the shape of snuff, or consume in smoke from the cigar, considerably more than is required to furnish a resident clergyman in 10,700 parishes. We understand that Mr. Gladstone, Liverpool, has gene rously distributed about 200 barrels of coals among the poor of Dingwall —a benefaction which that gentleman has been in the habit of making annually for the last thirty years.— Montrose Standard.

GENEROUS HIGHWAYMEN. —On Tuesday, the 21st inst. , John Dyson, a handloom we aver at Crompton, near Oldha m , was on his way home from Rochdale, and when at Brood lane two men demanded his money or they would take his life. He h e told them a hem po h o e r mwaans,aan wea ver out of employment ; they threw him down, tore his clothe s, and took all his mo ney, three-pence.

The new American steam-ship President is still lying in Hamoaze, Plymouth, waiting the arrival of her masts, Sze., from London, to repair the damage lately done to her in a gale off the Start, whilst on her passage to Liverpool to take on board her engines. On the occasion of her Majesty's marriage, the state apartMents will be lined by the gentlemen-at-arms, headed by Lord Foley, their captain ; and the yeomen of the guard, with. the exons, Will be stationed in the armoury-rooms, Staircase, and corridor leading to the chapel royal. Sheridan Knowles has completed a new ballad opera for Covent-garden Theatre, which will be shortly produced ; as will also Leigh Hunt's new tive act play, which has been some time in rehearsal, and is already announced in the bills. A principal part in it is said to have been assigned to Mr. Moore, the late debutant in Hamlet. On Monday morning, last week, one of the loudest claps of thunder - ever experienced in this vicinity was heard, 'pre . - ceded.by a vivid and broad flame of lightning. A cow in a field beyond the Hurlford, on the Galston road, was killed by the electric fluid, and ft - large willow tree on the road side was torn up from its roots by the fury of the tempest.-- Kilmarnock Journal. REPRESENTATION OF WIGAN.---Lord Lindsay, the eldest son of the Earl of Balcarras, has issued an address to the electors of. the borough of Wigan, stating his determination not to come forward as a candidate for their suffrages in the. event of a general election. His lordship states as his reason that .his health would be unequal to the attention necessary to laborious parliamentary duties. ROYAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.—The day for receiving their subscriptions was Wednesday, the 15th inst.,. when every share was taken. We are glad to hear it con firmed, 'that they have contracted with the government to carry the West ln,ian mails for ten years, at £140,000 per annum. Southampton is intended to be their harbour. Of course, this will be highly beneficial to the Southampton docks and railways.—Railway Magazine. John K. Booth; M.D., Joseph' Walker, William Charles Alston, and Joseph Frederick liedsam, Esqrs. have forwarded their resignation as magistrates for this borough, to the secretary of state for the honic 'department. Our contempo raries have erroneously included the name of William Chance, Esq. in a similar list to this. It will he in the recol lection of our readers that Mr. Chance sent his resignation to the home-office some mouths ago.—Ariis Birmingham Gazelle. How COMES IT ?—We ask how comes it to pass that John George, the great and mighty Earl of Durham, who was sent out as dictator to Canada by Lord Melbourne, through a " little bit" of jealousy (to wit—that his own nose might not be thrust out by our good and esteemed neighbour) and shortly afterwards returned in the pet, exclaiming that he " had been struck on the head by his own friends," was one of the 30 guests at the first parliamentary dinner this season, given by Lord Melbourne on Wednesday se'nnight ?—Dur ham Advertiser. The union of the provinces is, it is clear, to be one merely legislative. Upper Canada will not be deprived of its offi cials, so that Toronto will lose nothing of its metropolitan character, except, perhaps, the honour of being the place of meeting for the united legislature ; and even this is some what doubtful, for we are informed that it is the intention of the governor-general to recommend at least the fir*t two or three sessions to be held in Toronto. This will do away with the suspicions so roundly expressed, that the influential metropolitans (Trite the re-union for selfish motives. — Niagara Chronzeie. DE N BIGHS ELECTION. — The election of a representa- tive for this county, in the room of the late ever-to-be lamented Sir Watkyn Williams Wynn, Bart., takes place on Thursday next ; and from the very flattering manner in which his nephew has been received by all classes of the electors, not a doubt now remains but that he will succeed to the va cant post of honour, which it is rumoured, by his friends, Mr. Biddulph, the rejected, has serious thoughts of declining, in consequence of finding the popular feeling so much against his pretensions.—Chater Courant. VENERABLE YEW TREE. — There is at present an ancient yew tree growing in Darley Church-yard, near Matlock, of the enormous girth of thirty-three feet: This evergreen is surrounded by wooden benches, which it is customary for those who attend divine service in that church to sit upon, especially during summer, previous to their entering the sa cred edifice. It is supposed to he upwards of three hun dred years old, and is considered one of the largest trees of this kind, and, perhaps, one of the oldest in England. Our Chatham correspondent informs us, that the next de tachments for India will not sail before the middle of June, or the middle of July. It was intended to send out drafts to the three presidencies early in the ensuing month ; but the East India Company do not consider that the present quiet state of India requires any reinforcement of troops, and have, therefore, determined to delay the embarkations until the usual period, as above stated.— United Service Gazette. APPROCHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—The Right Hon. Henry Labouchere is about to lead to the hymenial altar the accomplished Miss Baring, daughter of Sir T. and Lady Baring, and sister to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Captain Charles Paget, a nephew to the Marquis of Anglesey, will be shortly united to the beautiful Miss M`Chintock. J. Bosanquet, Esq., nephew to Sir J. Bosanquet, will lead to the altar early in March, one of the daughters of Lord Chief Justice Tindal.—Morning Herald. CONSERVATISM AT MANCHESTER.—SORIe idea may be formed of the growing strength of Conservatism in this bo rough, by the extraordinary large-attendance at the series of dinners given to Sir George Murray, during the two past weeks. At Ardwick, upwards of 200 persons dined ; at Hulme, not much less than 500 ; in No. 2 district, 260; the dinner of Nos. 12, 13, and 14 districts, 415 ; and at that of 10 and 11 district, upwards of 400; so that nearly 2,000 staunch Conservatives have already met the right hon. gen tleman, and, on Monday evening, he will he received by,700 more in Chorlton-upon.Medlock.—Manchester Chronicle. There is a foreign attache of King Leopold again hovering about our court. This functionary made his appearance at the accession, when it was rumoured he was to be appointed to a very confidential post about the Queen's person ; but this was abandoned. owing to a very decided expression of public reprobation, made manifest in some very energetic articles in the public press. Leopold, however, is determined to have an agent at our court, and the functionary alluded to will, no doubt, have a place immediately about Prince Albert's person, as soon as ever the Parliamentary grant is carried. — Cheltenham Looker-on. - - EARTHQUAKE. — On the night of Wednesday, the Bth instant, about the hour of ten o'clock, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt in the parishes of Carndonagh and Clon many, in the county of Donegal. In some places those who had retired to rest felt themselves shaken in their beds, and others were thrown ofi' their chairs, and greatly alarmed. • It is said to have been,partially felt, at the same time, in the vicinity of Moville, and also within a few miles of this city. We believe this to be but the second instance of an earth quake having been felt in any part of Ireland.—Derry paper, Woormicn.—Late on Sunday evening a sudden order arrived for the embarkation, without delay, of a strong de tachment of sappers and miners, belonging to the corps of royal engineers, stationed at Woolwich, wh►ch was carried into effect on Monday evening, by the force embarking off the Royal Arsenal, in the Lloyd fre►ght ship, destined for the Cape of Good Hope, where, on arrival, they are to be em ployed upwards of 300 miles up the country, and are newly equipped with rifle and sword, instead of only the latter, as has been customary in that branch of the service. Two light field guns and carr►ages will accompany them, and, they will take in at Gravesend several detachments from line regiments now waiting there for that purpose.—..iforning Herald. TYPHUS FEVER. — It is singular that a spot so proverbially healthy as Casterton should he suffering so pecul►arly from the typhus fever. In the school and village there have been 70 more or less affected, and three have died. The state of the servants' school is much improved the last week, and the patients may almost be pronounced convalescent. But there are three very bad cases in the clergy school, and the fever increases in the village, chiefly amongst children. A subscription has been raised for the sufferers in the village ; and the heavy expenses and anxieties in the two schools have been mtt by much sympathy and liberal assi‘tance from Va. rim parts of the kingdom.—Lancaster Gazette..

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, TANu.k . ar 29 Scotch : The transactions have been few in Scotch wools this week, and the trade has had rather a languid aspect, still we have no alteration to report in the value of any description. Imports this week 45 bags, previously this year 233 bags ; total 283 bags. Foreign there was a fair inquiry for most sorts, and a slight re duction in prices would have induced more extensive sales, but holders, looking to the present stocks, do not appear willing to accept lower terms. Imports this week 1;3 bags, previously this year 1132 bags, total 1330 bags. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 92 The sales en Thursday last were 3500 bales; Priday 10,000; Saturday 7000; Monday 4000; Tuesday 2000; and to-day 2000. The improved demand and animation which existed in the market on Friday and Saturday last, had the effect of advancing prices, in American descriptions, Id per lb.; but the limited de mand of to-day, and yesterday, added to the depressed statement of business at Manchester. Prices have again receded to their former point, and remain at our last wen's quotations. The import of the week amounts to 17,788 bales. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JAN. 28. Since last Tuesday the imports of all kinds of grain from Ireland, Coastways, and from foreign ports has been very small, in some degree owing to the boisterous weather which has prevailed ; the demand has, however, been to a moderate extent ; the prices last quoted have been fully supported, and in some instances a little ex ceeded here, hot our country markets, and those of Yorkshire, have been dull throughout the week. The duties on Peas and Beans from foriegn ports have increased since Friday last Is fid per quarter, on all other grain there is no alteration. Several thousand barrels of American Flour, in bond, have recently changed hands at 2gs Id to :;Ds per barrel, and there is now a difficulty in buying any under the latter price; there are no Oats in bond here, and of all bonded grain the value continues nominally in proportion to the duty. At this day's market there was a abetter demand for Wheat at, in proportion to quality, Id to 24 advance on previous rates ; for Flour In bond 20s 64 was obtained; for all other articles the sales were very limited, and little or no alterntion can be made in our quota tions of last week.
