To avoid the stoppage at Vienna, and suspension of his final orders, Lord Palmerston has sent the despatch above alluded to in the communication to Lord Gran ville by another channel directly to Admiral Stopford. In addition to these communications we are enabled to annex the following statement, in corroboration of the above, together with more precise details, from an esteemed correspondent : "'We learn that, in order to carry out the decision lately taken by the conference in London, according to which the four powers would recommend to the Sultan to reinstate Mehemet Ali in the pachalic of Egypt, if he should speedily submit, send back the fleet, and evacuate Syria, Adana, Candia, and Arabia, the Admiralty have sent orders to Admiral Sir Robert Stopford to send an officer to Alexandria in order to the following communication : l'he officer, on his arrival in Alexandria, will de an interview of Mehemet Ali, in the presence of ps Bey, in order to deliver a communication from _ ...... --- the English Government. He will then inform the Pacha that if he make immediate submission to the iultan, an:l put in the officer's hands a written en qgeinent to deliver (give over) the fleet, and withdraw troops from Syria, Adana, Candia, Arabia, and Holy Cities, the four powers will recommend the '.an to reinstate Mehemet Ali in the pachalic of )t.

John Wordsworth, rector of Brigham, on their me to Rydal Mount, from a visit to the f L'Ons( at Whitehaven Castle, they had a narrow from destruction. The venerable and highly esteemed nd his worthy son, were riding in a one-horse gig, and ast reached Ruffa-bridge, about three miles from Kes- ~ on the Ambl es id e road, when they o b serve d th e mail ch coming upon th em at a raffling pace. Owing to the , turn in tle road at the top of the ascent which leads . `he bridge, th e ma il could not be seen until w i t h in hty yards of th at d angerous place, but i n t h e otice they had of its approach, the rev. gen in drawing his horse close up to the side of .ch is only narrow, but, nevertheless, wide fie coach to have passed in safety, under or aistances. It unfortunately happened, however, -side wheeler refused to obey the rein. Owing to ,:tance the coach came with g reat v i olence against sent against the adjoining wall with such both the horse and the gig and the two riders were inrown, with part of the wall, into the adjoining plantation.

The greatest source of carbonaceous matter will be found among the coal formations and pluinbago. According to Thompson, the different kinds of coal contain only a very slight proportion of oxygen, from about 5 to 13 per cent. Plumbago is nearly pure carbon, with a slight trace of iron— about 4 or 5 per cent. of iron. There are several other sources from whence carbon and its acid may be obtained ; but these statements are amply sufficient to point out the great preponderance of oxygen over carbonic acid. _ _ . It has been supposed that from the numerous animals continually abstracting hydrogen from the atmosphere, as well as the human race, and the combustion which is con tinually going on in our manufactories and domiciles, that a period might arrive when our atmosphere would become so contaminated that it would no longer be capable of supporting animal existence. Before entering on this interesting subject, let us first consider this simple fact, viz., that the weight and constituent parts of our globe are the same now as they have always been : all may be changed, but nothing new added. By combustion either of carbon, sulphur, or any other substance, the ele ments remain the same, and of the same weight, as before combustion. The same remarks are applicable to the re spiratory functions. Every animal during respiration renders incapable for supporting life a quantity of atmospheric air. We have now before us some of the leading circumstances connected with the vitiation of the air. Let us now apply this subject; and, in the first place, I shall endeavour to prove that this vitiation, instead of being injurious, is absolutely requisite for the maintenance of the various living beings, both animal and vegetable, on the face of our globe. I admit that apparently this vitiation proves injurious to animal existence ' • but when we search more fully into this subject, we shall find that it is apparent not real. In our closets we have often an opportunity of indulging in the calculation of the damage done by our increasing po pulation, and drawing conclusions from thence, without duly weighing what is also going on around us in the country ; and we often also conclude respecting the density of our own population, and the sources of renovation peculiar to our own climate, without duly weighing that in all our calcu lation we must include the whole atmosphere and not a part. As long as the various laws exist of diffusion—the currents of air, rain, wind, and other disturbing causes—it is obvious that if one portion of this mighty mass become permanently deteriorated, so must all the rest, or what is the same thing, every portion of it must from these laws be equable in com mixture. . But if this holds good respecting deterioration, so will it as respects renovation ; therefore it may be possible that the one may counteract the other, and, as 1 set out with the re mark, these local variations may be of inestimable value to other regions of the globe. That local deterioration does take place in some instances, which are not compensated for in time to renovate the injury done, is true ; such used to be the fenny marshes of Lin colnshire, and such is the case in numerous other instances ; but these •blemishes are of so trivial a nature compared with the whole surface of the globe as not to merit attention., In all calculations we ought to look at the results, and not upon the minute changes which are going on. For instance, the germination of seeds is only a trivial portion connected with the great change of germination to maturity. In ger mination carbonic acid is generated—the same in fermenta tion ; but the compensation derived from vegetation soon achieves what had been deteriorated. It is now an admitted fact that healthy vegetables give out oxygen during sunshine and carbonic acid during night. The counterbalancing effect of the quantity of oxygen dur ing the day has been called in question by several very intel ligent physiologists, and maintained with equal ardour by others. This question has been mooted by both sides, and the ap peal to facts has been equally vigorous —the one side asserting that the animal kingdom always deteriorate, and deny that the vegetables ameliorate the constitution of the atmosphere ; the others admit the vitiation from the animal kingdom, but at the same time uphold the doctrine that the vegetables renew what had thus been deteriorated. But neither of these antagonists have taken the field, I think, with correct data ; they appeal to partial operations going on, instead of consi dering the results. It is not at this time or that time vegetables are doing so and so, and at other times the reverse, but we ought to look at the results which present themselves ; and I think if they would do so a termination would soon b made of this long contested point. Though an acorn may deteriorate the air, as I said before, during its germination, what is this com pared with the results of matured growth ? The composition upon most excellent authority is this — Oak. Beech. _ Carbon .. Oxygen .. Hydrogen 52.53 41,78 5.69 51.45 42.73 5.82 A person not conversant with chemistry would at once say; why it is evident here is an immense consumption of oxygen, and consequently a great deterioration of the atmosphere. I started with the information that water contains 8 lbs. in 9 of oxygen gas, and that 7-10ths of the surfaCe of the globe was composed of water—here, then, we have a sufficient sup ply for all our wants—for the water of the ocean is computed to extend as far beneath its surface as the highest hills do above its surface. In the calculation above we have.... Oxygen 41.78 Hydrogen 5.69 47.47 Now water is composed of 8 oxygenic 5 proportion 40.0 1 hydrogen rC 5 .. 5. =45.00 2.47 leaving only 2.47 excess of what water presents by chemical decomposition in the usual way, leaving a stock of deoxi dised carbon of more than 50 per cent. Now as vegetables, by experiment, cannot absorb pure carbon, but must receive it into their systems in the form of carbonic acid, consequently, according to the data esta blished above, the whole quantity of carbon must have parted with its oxygen to the atmosphere. The equivalent number of carbon is 6.12, and of carbonic acid 6.12 and 16 oxygen=22.l2, so that it may be readily com puted how much oxygen the oak and beech give off to the at mosphere. Considering these results, and the innumerable quantity of vegetables performing similar offices, it will be readily ad mitted that, instead of animal deterioration being injurious, it will be found absolutely requisite for the maintenance of vegetable existence, for as I stated before, we must take into consideration the whole surface of the globe, and not an isolated portion ; to do otherwise would be to confine nature in the laboratory of the chemist. We must next consider the ma nn er or function by which oxygen is given off during the day and absorbed during the night, forming carbonic ac id, an d th us , as stated by many, renovating during sunshine, b u t deteriorating; during dark ness. Whether we consider the carbonic acid as entering by ab sorption through the leaves or by the roots it is obvious, it would require to he circulated and vitalized prior to its adap tation to the necessities of the plant. That light has an im portant interference in this matter, no one seems to doubt; neither is it disputed, that oxygen is given off by plants during sunshine. But it does not follow that all the carbon of the carbonic acid thus liberated should immediately be ap propriated to the exigencies of the vegetable structure, it is more consonant with vital phenomena that it should still continue to circulate with the appropriate juices of the vege table, and be rendered tahnedrebcyomcabpianbinlegowf itahppirtospnrieacteiossnarays ulum. Now if we adroit thi s t o b e q the ua n u e g in e t o a f b l e aqueous r equ i r p e at the case, it is obvious that the decomposition of the carbonic acid being suspended from the withdrawal of sunshine or light, that an opposite effect would be pro duced, and that it would not be improbable that the super fluous carbon thus eliminated, but not appropriated, should, when the stimulus is removed again, absorb oxygen, and thus be thrown off during the night.

The Queen being 27th in regular descent from the Conqueror, and at the same time 36th Sovereign in succes sion from the conquest, gives nearly 29 years to a reign, in respect to the 774 years which have elapsed since that period. The commonly received average is 30 years to a generation and 20 years to a reign ; according to .which it appears that the cares or luxuries, or both, of a crown, occasion a sacri fice to the wearer of it of one year of life, as compared with ordinary mortals.

'tis RENOVATION OF THE ATMOSPHEER nog VEGETADLE sOURCES, The total superficies of the globe is usually estimated at about 200,000,000 British square miles, and the natural di vision of this surface is into earth and water; about seven tenths of the whole being occupied by the ocean, and the re maining three-tenths consisting of land ; Or 140,000,000 square miles of water 60,000,000 ditto, of land. Total 200,000,000 From chemical analysis, sea-water is found to be composed of the following ingredients :—Sea-water may be regarded as one of the saline mineral waters. Its taste is disagreeably bitter and saline, and its fixed constituents amount to a little more than three per cent. Its specific gravity varies from 1.0269 to 1.0255 ; and it freezes at about 28.5 deg. F. Ac cording to the analysis of Dr. Murray, 10,000 pints of water from the Frith of Forth contain Water 9 696.91 Conimon salt 220.01 Sulph. soda Mur. magnesia 42.08 Mur. lime 7.84 = 10,000 pints. If we consider that every eight pints in nine are composed of oxygen, in water, and only one of hydrogen, we shall be struck with the enormous quantity of that fluid in our globe, for as stated above 140,000,000 of square miles, is the esti mated quantity of superficies of water, and every 9 lbs. by weight contain 8 lbs. of oxygen. Again, if we take into consideration the atmospheric air, we shall find it also contains a large quantity of oxygen, amounting to 21 pints in every 100. The other ingredients being nitrogen about 79, and a slight proportion of carbonic acid—about 0.049. The atmosphere is supposed to extend to an altitude of about 40 miles. Its pressure is calculated at about 15 lbs. upon every square inch of surface— If the surface of a man's body be computed at 14 feet square, the weight which he sustains will be upwards of 13 tons. 14 sq. ft. X 144 in. = 1 sq. ft. X 15 lbs. = 13 tons 10 cwt. Water is taken as the standard for computing the specific gravity of solids. One cubic inch, at 62 degs. F and 30 in. bar., weighs 252.458 grs. Atmospheric air is generally used as the standard for gases. 100 cubic inches, at 60 degs. F, bar. 30, weigh 31.0117 grains, being 815 times lighter than water. The pressure of the air is, at the level of the sea, about 15 lbs. on every square inch, and is capable of supporting a column of water 30 feet high, and one of mercury of 30 in.— that is, a column of mercury one inch square and 30 inches long, has the same weight (nearly 15 lbs) as a column of water of equal base and 34 feet long, and as a column of air of equal base, reaching from the level of the sea to the extreme limit of the atmosphere. 1728 cubic inches, or 1 foot cubic of water, weighs 1,000 ounces, avoirdupoise ; 1728 cubic inches, or one foot cubic of mercury, weighs 13,600 ounces, avoirdupoise. A large proportion of the ingredients which constitute the mass of the earth contain oxygen gas, so that it is not exag gerating to affirm, that one-half of our globe is composed of this element. This will appear more evidently when we take into consideration the composition of the primitive rocks, taking as an example granite, which may be considered an aggregate of feldspar, quartz, and mica. We find by analysis that felspar is composed of Common Felspar. Ceylon. Siberian. Silez 64 68.5.. Alumina .24 20.5 17.02 Lime Ox. 1r0n.... 2.0 Potash Silicia is composed of 15 silicium lor 50 per cent. of oxy -15 oxygen J gen. Alumina is composed of 123.00 sulphate of alum. 119.32 bisulph. of potash. 187.00 water. 429.32 Quartz may be considered as nearly pure silica, the compo sition of which, as stated above, is about 50 per cent. of oxygen. Mica is a compound, and, as analyzed by Vauque fin, is composed of Silex 5O Bergmen, 40 Alumina Lime Magnesia 1.35 5 Ox. iron Loss 5.32 100 100.00 The proportions of silex and alumina are specified above ; thus we see that granite, on which all the superficial strata are superimposed, contains a large proportion of oxygen. All the earthy carbonates contain a large proportion of oxygen, as the carbonates of lime, magnesia, barytes, stron tites, &c._ _ a plant is too long deprived of light, it will again 'dually ap propriate what has already been deposited, and thus we may account for the absorbtion of oxygen, to convert the carbon again into carbonic acid, and what carbonic acid might by the roots be absorbed, be thrown off during night. If this is the real condition, it follows that ►egetables must be considered renovators of the atmosphere; and this, as I stated before, is found to be the case. For if the superfluous carbon is again rendered vitiated, of course all that is appropriated, must be put down to the credit of renovation—and on the return of daylight a fresh accession is made to the deposition of woody fibre. _ Again, there are other vegetables which abound iti acidu lous products whose composition proves that they absorb an excess of oxygen, and of course prove prejudicial to the at mosphere ; but their relative value is so trifling, that it scarcely forms an iota in the grand scale of vegetable production. But there is a third class, which demands more considera tion, and that is those of a resinous character, in which there seems to be oxygen thrown off both from the carbon and water, and retaining hydrogen in excess. Carbon. Oxygen. Hydrogen. Resin of turpentine 75.94 13.34 10.72 Copal Olive oil In these instances it is obvious that there is a large excess of hydrogen, and this is obtainable only from the water of the atmosphere, but if there is an excess of hydrogen retained in the vegetable composition, it is equally certain that this oxy gen with which it was united must be placed to the credit of the renovation of the atmosphere. Let us next take some of the leading proximate principles of vegetables, thus — Gum is composed of Carbon .... 41.906 ss Oxygen .... 51.306 .s Hydrogen .. 6.788 100.000 Sugar II Carbon .... 44.200 Oxygen .... 49.015 Hydrogen .. 6.785 100.0.00 Starch " Carbon .... 45.39 Oxygen .... 48.31 if Hydrogen .. 5.90 Nitrogen .. 0.40 100.00 All those instances, prove that water and carbon are the principal constituents of vegetables. I am convinced when a thorough investigation of the sub ject I have undertaken to prove in part, shall take place, that we shall no longer wonder how the large quantities of carbon, thrown into the atmosphere, become disposed of, but almost be surprised that these facts have not led others to the same conclusions as here advanced. Another source of renovation of the air and waters of the ocean, arises from the enormous quantities of carbon conti nually deposited in the form of carbonate of lime by the corals in warm seas ; but as my present object is to prove that the deterioration of the air by animal existence is essen tial to the healthy growth of vegetables, I shall not take into consideration the quantities of carbon which become fixed by animals themselves S.

DOCTRINE OF ROYAL SUCCESSION (From Blackstone.—Book 1, chap. 3 and 4) • The great fundamental maxim upon which the ins corona, or right of succession to the throne of these kingdoms de pends, I take to be this ; " that the crown, is, by common, hereditary ; and this, in a manner peculiar to itself : but that the right of inheritance may, from time to time, be changed or limited by act of parliament, under which limita tions the crown still continues hereditary. As to the particular mode of inheritance, it in general cor responds with the feudal descents chalked out by the com mon law in the succession to landed estates ; yet with one or two essential exceptions, like estates, the crown will des cend lineally to the issue of the reigning monarch, as it did from King John to Richard 11., through a regular pedigree of six lineal generations, as in common descents the prefer ence of male to female, and the right of primogeniture among the males, are strictly adhered to. Thus Edward V. suc ceeded to the crown in preference to Richard, his younger brother, and Elizabeth, his elder sister. Like lands or tene ments, the crown, on failure of the male line, descends to the issue of female, according to the ancient British custom re marked by Tacitus—solent fceminarum ductu bellare, et sexum in imperils non discernere. Thus Mary I. succeeded to Edward VI. And the line of Margaret, Queen of Scots, the daughter of Henry VII., succeeded on the failure of the line of Henry VIII., his son. But, among the females, the crown descended by right of primogeniture to the eldest daughter only and her issue ; and not, as in common inhe ritance to all the daughters at once ; the evident neces sity of a sole succession to the throne having occasioned the royal law of descent to depart from the common law in this respect ; and, therefore, Queen Mary, on the death of her brother, succeeded to the Crown alone, and not in partner ship with her sister Elizabeth. Again, the doctrine of re presentation prevails in the descent of the Crown as it does in other inheritances ; whereby the lineal descendants of any person deceased stand in the same place as their ancestor, if living, would have done. Thus, Richard 11. succeeded the grandfather, Edward 111., in right of his father, the Black Prince, to the exclusion of all his uncles, his grandfather's younger children. Lastly, on the failure of lineal descend ants, the Crown goes to the next collateral relations of the late King, provided they are lineally descended from the blood royal—that is, from that royal stock which originally acquired the Crown. Thus, Henry I. succeeded to Wil liam 11., John to Richard 1., and James to Elizabeth, being all derived from the Conqueror, who was then the only regal stock. But herein there is no objection, as in the case of common descents, to the succession of a brother, an uncle, or other collateral relation of the half blood—that is, where the relationship proceeds, not from the same couple of ances tors (which constitutes a kinsman of the whole blood), but from a single ancestor only ; as when two persons are derived from the same father and not from the same mother, or vice versa; provided only that the one ancestor from whom both are descended be that from whose veins the blood royal is communicattd to each. Thus Mary I. inherited to Edward VI., and Elizabeth inherited to Mary ; all children of the same father, Henry VIII., but all by different mothers. RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL (From the same—Cap. 4.) The Prince of Wales, or heir-apparent to the crown, and also his royal consort, and the princess royal, or eldest daughter of the king, are likewise peculiarly regarded by the laws ; for, by the statute 25th Edw. 111., to compass or conspire the death of the former, or to violate the chastity of either of the latter, are as much high treason as to conspire the death of the king, or violate the chastity of the queen. And this upon the same reason as was before given—because the Prince of Wales is next in succession to the crown, and to violate his wife might taint the blood royal with bastardy ; and the eldest daughter of the king is also alone inheritable to the crown on the failure of issue male, and therefore more respected by the laws than any of her younger sisters ; inso much, that upon this, united with other (feudal) principles, where our military tenures were in force, the king might levy an aid for marrying his eldest daughter, and her only. ROYAL ACCOUCHEMENT, The following anecdote connected with the birth and infancy of George 111. is related by his biographer. It may not be without its applicability at the present time :—" The king was a seven months' child, and from that circumstance so weakly at the period of his birth, that certain apprehen sions were entertained that it would be impossible to rear him. It was, in consequence, thought advisable to waive the strict etiquette hitherto maintained, of having for the royal infant a nobly descended nurse, in favour of one of the middle ranks of life—the fine, healthy, fresh-coloured wife of a gardener, probably the head-gardener of one of the palaces. The person, besides the recommendation of an ex cellent constitution and much experimental skill, was cha racterised by qualities which so endeared her to the King, that his attachment towards her never during her existence experienced the slightest diminution. She possessed great quickness of feeling, much goodness of heart, with a disposi tion both disinterested and candid. The two former of these qualities appear to have instantly opened her affections to the nursling offered to her care, not, however, from the idea of its being a babe of royal blood, but from the maternal kindness excited while contemplating the delicate little being IMPORTANT TO BUILDERS AND OTHERS.—It may not be generally known that an Act of last Session imposed certain restrictions on the mode of building chimneys, with the view of rendering climbing boys unnecessary in cleansing flues. It is thereby enacted that after the passing of the Act, " all partitions between any chimney or flue shall be of brick or stone, and at least equal to half a brick in thickness," such partition to be of sound materials, " and the joints of the work well filled in with good mortar or cement, and rendered or stuccoed within ;" " that such chimney or flue in any wall, not being a circular chimney or flue 12 inches in dia meter, shall be in every section of the same not less than 14 inches by 9 inches." The angle at which it is lawful to build any chimney is also determined. Another clause enacts, " that from and after the first day of July, in the year 1842, any person who shall compel or knowingly allow any child, or young person under the age of twenty-one years, to ascend or descend a chimney, or enter a flue, for the purpose of sweeping, cleansing, or coring the same, or for extinguishing fire therein, shall be liable to a penalty, not more tha n t e n pounds, or less than five pounds." A BOLD THIEF.--john Anderton was on Wednesday placed before Mr. Rushton, charged with having stolen a remnant of cloth, value £6, from the shop door of Messrs. Alexander M`Clellan and Son, Prices-street. itatrick Dougherty, a hair dresser, who lives opposite to Mr. M'Clel lan, saw the prisoner and three other young men, about four o'clock - on Tuesday afternoon, loitering about near Mr. M'Clellan's shop. The prisoner pretended to examine the quality of the cloth, and after looking at it for a few moments he took the uppermost piece, coolly put it under his arm, and was walking off with it when he was interrupted by Mr. Dougherty. The prisoner struggled violently, and his com panions endeavoured to rescue him, but Dougherty succeeded in maintaining his grasp. One of Mr. M`Clellan's assist ants, however, came out, and the prisoner was secured and given into custody. The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence : he was committed toc„trial. NEW PORTABLE BOAT.—An experiment was made a few days since in the water in the Royal Park of Monceaux, near Paris, in presence of his . Royal High ness th e D u k e o f Or leans, the minister of public works, and G enera l D arn ilc, of a boat of peculiar construction, inve n t e d b y a M. L ec lerc. The boat in question is capable of carrying 43 soldiers, with their arms and accoutrements, and only weighs 4001bs. It was launched into the water with great ease by four men. With all its freight on board it drew very little water. When not in use it can be folded up and packed in a case formed of some of its parts. It can be unpacked and prepared for use in about a quarter of an hour. It has been before tried in very rough weather on the Seine, loaded very heavily with casks of wine, and has been found perfectly safe. In an economical point of view it is also well wor thy o f no ti c e, as its cost is comparatively less than boats capable of bearing the same quantity of goods or passengers. The parties pre sent were highly pleased, and e xpresse d t h emse l ves i n terms inventor PRESENTATION satisfaction to the PRESENTATION OF A VALUABLE SILVER MEDAL BY THE ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE FROM FIRE.-Mr. Edward Booth, su rgeon, l ate a me di ca l stu d ent, of King's College , residing at No. 19, Salisbury-stre e t, Strand, who, at great peril to himself, rescued nine persons from the flames, who must have otherwise perished, on the night of the 14th of April last, has received the reward of a silver medal from the above society. It is to be regretted that their funds will not enable them to present medals of gold. It appears that the most heroic conduct was displayed by this young gentleman. Being engaged at his studies till midnight, he was able promptly to render such assistance as to entitle him not only to the small t o k en o f e n courag emen t given by the Royal Society in such interesting cases, but also to the lasting gratitude of the family he saved (a Mr. Robert son of Salisbury street) and the admiration of the public. Instead of matters of such m omen t b e i ng passe d over w i t h silent indifference, it would not be too much if a magnificent temple were erected at public expense, and such deeds as those achieved by Mr. Booth, recorded therein on tablets of gold.—Morning Herald.—Mr. Booth is a son of the Rev. E. Booth, Tyldesly , in this county. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION OF COALS AT SEA.—The barque Amazon, Campbell, of Liverpool, sailed from Pem brey, near Llanelly, on the 9th May last, for Bombay, with a cargo of coals for the East India Company. On the 4th June, in lat. 9 29 N., long. 25 20 W., a large mass of the coals ignited from spontaneous combustion. The captain writes that " they broke out in a solid body of fire. He im mediately got the hatches battened down, and every place stopped up by which air could enter, in order if possible, to smother the burning. On the 6th he opened the hatches, but the heat and sulphureous smell prevented the possibility of going below. He then closed them up again, stopped up the scuppers, and through holes bored in the deck, poured, from the head pump, and with buckets, so much water upon the coals, that by nextday there was five-and-a-half feet wa ter in the hold, and the coals, as Captain Campbell writes, " well cooled down." The same evening he commenced dis charging the heated coals and cinders, and threw overboard about 250 tons before he could consider the ship safe. He had been running for Demerara the two days preceding, hav ing had his boats in tow from the first commencement of the fire. He now bore away again for Bombay. But the mis fortunes of the voyage did not end here. On the 4th of July, in very heavy weather, the ship sprung her mainmast, and while they were getting it secured, the boatswain, carpenter, and three of the crew, declared they would not work unless the captain would run the ship for some port in Brazil. Cap tain Campbell called them to his cabin, and did his utmost to persuade them to return to their work. He also gave them till the afternoon of the same day to consider what he had said to them ; but finding then that they were still refractory, and refused to work, he immediately put them in irons, and kept them in confinement during the remainder of the voyage. One of the crew was sick, besides the five who were refrac tory. To the captain, therefore, and the remainder of the crew, who, under God, with great labour and perseverence, and in much exhaustion, carried the ship safely to Bombay, through such imminent perils, great praise is justly due. Notwithstanding all these misfortunes, the Amazon made the voyage in exactly four months.—Shipping Gazette. AN EXEMPLARY SENATOR.—A dinner was given the other day in Ballinasloe, to that beau ideal of a conscript, Father Dillon Browne. We suppose that it was in imitation of the Irishman at Donnybrook, that he enacted the following scene with Mr. Blake. We extract from the Tuam Herald :—" On Wednesday Robert Dillon Browne, Esq., M.P. for Mayo, arrived in this town. The honourable gentleman stopped at Daly's Hotel to change horses, and on entering the coffee room met Charles Blake, Esq., senior, whom he accosted and offered to shake hands with, but which Mr. Blake dis dainfully refused. Shortly after they again met in the streets, and Mr. Browne coming close to Mr. Blake, inquired why he refused his band? Neither Mr. Blake's reply nor Mr. Browne's retort were heard by the nearest bystanders ; but Mr. Blake was observed to rise his hand, in which he held a stick, as if with an intent to strike Mr. Browne, who, either in the effort to ward off the blow, or with design, bled his nose. The circumstances having been reported to the ma gistrates presiding at the petty sessions, they adjourned the court, and, accompanied by the police, came down to town. Tomkins Brew, Esq. put both parties under arrest. Hi s grace the Archbishop, the Very Rev. Doctor Kirwan, and several gentlemen endeavoured to procure an explanation, but without effect. Mr. Browne was bound to keep the peace; but Mr. Blake refused to enter securities, alleging he was not the aggressor, and Mr. Brew took him away in cus tody. Shortly after Mr. Browne left for Ballinasloe, amidst the cheering of the persons whom the circumstance had col lected about the hotel. We understand Mr. Browne expressed his willingness to make any apology, if Mr. Blake would, on his honour, declare he did not intend to strike him before he (Mr. Browne) raised his hand.

Heywood, Sons and Co., and at the Infirmary. whose frail tenure on Ilfc she was confident, under her ma► nagement, would become strong and permanent, These feel. ings caused ber at the first proposal cheerfully to undertake the anxious charge ; but when it was made known to her that according to the court etiquette, the royal infant could not be allowed to sleep with her, from an etiquette so cold, and in the present case so likely, in her opinion, to prove preju dicial, she instantly revolted, and in terms both warm and blunt, thus expressed herself Not sleep with me ! Then you may nurse the boy yourselves.' To no compromise, or rather reasoning, offered, would she listen, but continued resolutely to refuse to take charge of the royal infant if bound to observe a ceremony which no argument could make her think otherwise than alike unnatural and unhealthy. This refusal of an office which many persons would have been am bitious of filling under any restrictions whatever, upon mo tives, too, so purely disinterested, convinced those with whom sbe was in debate of her conscientious belief that, unless the infant were entrusted to her sole management, she must, in accepting the charge, engage to act in opposition to her own judgment, and thus sacr►fice what she considered her duty to him. Influenced by this conviction, they properly repre sented the affair to the powers by whom they were employed, in consequence of which the point of court ceremony was conceded to her.'' PRAYER FOR THE QUEEN The following is the form of prayer and thanksgiving to be used in the different churches and chapels on Sunday next, for the safe delivery of the Queen, which has just been pub lished by authority_— A FORM OF PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING TO ALMIGHTY For the safe delivery of the Queen, and the happy birth of a Princess. To be used at Morning and Evening Service, after the General Thanksgiving, in all Churches and Chapels throughout England and Wales, and the Town of Berwick on-Tweed, upon Sunday, the 29th of this instant Novem ber, or the Sunday after the respective Ministers thereof shall receive the same. " 0 Merciful Lord and Heavenly Father,'by whose gra cious gift mankind is increased, we most humbly offer unto Thee our hearty thanks for Thy great goodness vouchsafed to Thy Servant our Sovereign Lady the Queen, in supporting her under the pains, and delivering her from the perils, of childbirth, and giving to her and her Royal Consort the blessing of a Daughter. Watch over her, we beseech Thee, with thy Fatherly care ; sustain and comfort her in the hours of weakness and weariness, and day by day renew her strength. Preserve the infant from whatever is hurtful either to body or soul, and adorn her, as she advances in years, with every Christian virtue. Regard with Thine especial favour our Queen and her Consort, that they may long live together in the enjoyment of all happiness here on earth, and finally be made the partakers of Thine everlasting glory. Establish their Descendants on the Throne of this kingdom, and make them, through all generations, the:blessed instruments of Thy Providential goodness to thy Church and People. Implant in our hearts a deep sense of Thy manifold mercies towards us, and give us grace to shew forth our thankfulness unto Thee by dutiful affection to our Sovereign, and brotherly love to one another, by the profession of a true faith, and constant obedience to Thy Word and Commandment ; so that, faith fully serving Thee in this life, we may in the life to come be received into Thy Heavenly kingdom, through the Merits and Mediation of Thy Blessed Son Jesus Christ our Lord.— Amen. The library of the late Bishop of St. David's (Banks Jen kinson) has been brought to the hammer; before the sale (at Christie's) is concluded, it will occupy nine days. The col lection constituted an admirable churchman's library, but li berally mixed with general and classical literature, and al most all the works are remarkably clean and in excellent bindings. IMPORTANT.—In the Court of Queen's Bench on Tues day, Lord Denman mentioned that the court had determined that there should be no further peremptory paper. The court, upon great consideration, had come to the opinion that much the best security for bringing business on was to leave it to the counsel engaged, and not to build up a wall in the shape of a peremptory paper, which originally accelerated, but now retarded, business in a most grievous manner.. METALLIC INK.—The use of steel pens has been the cause of ink manufacturers producing a description of ink suitable for them, as the corrosive nature of iron or steel totally des troys the properties of ink fit for quill-peps. One of the best preparations brought before the public, is the ink manufac tured by Mr. Tarking, whose advertisement appears else where. The fluid runs readily, and does not injure the pen ; it is also indelible. A Goon HINT.—At this particular season of the year, colds are generally prevalent, which, in a majority of cases, owe their origin to stopping in the street, when w arm w ith walking, and continuing t o converse with some kind friend on the news or scandal of the day ; until a chill supersedes the warmth, and a cold is taken or increased. We remember a gentleman, so far advanced in years as to have experie nce d the ill effects of flag pa vemen t, or other highway and by-way conversation who, uniformly when stopped to listen to some interesting intelligence, instantly asked " which way are you going ? for I will go your way, or you may take mine, but I would not stand still in the street to talk to a king."

James Scott 6r Son.) Since Tuesday last, the arrivals of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland have been to a fair extent, but from the foreign ports and coastways, the imports of Grain and Flour have been quite trivial, and during the past week there has been a pretty fair demand for Wheat and Flour at fully our last quotations. For Oats and Oat meal at a small advance, and for all other articles in the corn trade to a very moderate extent, with little or no variation in prices. The weather has been rather more favourable during the last four or five days for the agricultural operations, but we fear little progress has been made in Wheat sowing, the land being still very wet. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has increased since Friday Is per quarter, the duty being now 245 8d per quarter- and 141 10d per barrel on Flour; on Oats also it has increased Is 6d, being now 13s gd per quarter ;on other Grain no change. Super fine sweet United States' Flour continues to find sales in bond, for export, at 24s to 24s 6d per barrel; Grain in bond quite nominal. At this day's market sales of every article in the corn trade were effected to a very moderate extent, at about the prices of this day week;—excepting Oats and Oatmeal, which were a little higher; the former Id per 43 lbs, the latter 6d per 240 lbs.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 26 . . The appearance of frost has a little affected the market, and we think sto 2s per cwt. advance in price of the finer descriptions of Butter is to be obtained. Pickled Butter is better,—the decline in the Brazillian markets noted in one of our late reports being local, (confined only to Maranham)—holders have become more confident, and demand 94s per cwt. for seconds. Beef, Pork, and Bacon. continue to wear a downward aspect. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 25 There was a very poor show of stock to-day, decidedly less than there was last week, small as that was. The demand being fully equal to the supply, the best beef and mutton were each again id per lb dearer, and inferior nearly as much. Every thing was sold up. Best beef, 6d to 6¢d; middling and inferior, 5d to 6d. Best mutton, 64d to 74d ; ewes and inferior, 54d to 64d per lb sinking the offal.
