Vottrp. DIALOGUE BETWEEN A PATRICIAN LADY AND A BOY FROM THE MOUNTAIN, WHOM SHE WISHES TO ADOPT AS HER SON. LADY. " Why wouldst thou leave me, oh f 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." " 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 thyme ; And the rocks where the heath-flower blooms they know; Lady, kind lady, Oh! let me go !" LADY. - . Content thee, boy, in my bower to dwell! ;• Here are sweet sounds which thou lovest yell; Flutes on the air in the stilly noon — Harps which the wandering breezes tune . And the silvery wood-note of many .a.lbiid, Whose voice was ne'er in thy mountains heard." BOY. " My mother sings at the twilight's fan, 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 hath gone from her cares to rest ! She hath taken the babe on her quiet breast; Thou wouldsemeet 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." BOY. • " Is my mother gone from her home away? But I know that my brothers 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 ; They have left the fern by the spring's green side, 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 I let me go !" Alas. HEMAN HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE-PREPARATIONS FOR THE CEREMONY. (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 be 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 be 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 tege will pass, will be fitted up with seats to view the proces sion from the Palace to the Chapel, as will als6 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 jo 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 proclaiths 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 orlinary Sabbath service till the last moment ; and this day ner Majesty and the royal household will attend Divine worship 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 tastetul 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 iihole 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. his to be covered in and lined with cloth ; and filled, as it, no no doubt, will be, by the Rite of the fashionable world, it will present a,coup d' cell of imposing magnificence, upon which the argand lamps to be inserted in the roof will throw a lustre. There are, we hear, 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- Able. 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, he will find that his royal highness in early life was on a visit in this country to her Royal Bigness the Duchess of Kent, and that, with Prince George of Cumberland, and Prince George of Cainbridg, he was frequently the companion of the then Princess N ictoria, 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. _TILE AUSTRALIAN BOMMERFNO_.—This is a thin, curved missile, about two feet four inch; 1 i a i n d d , e ,i a t i i i i be e rn th ta ro to w r r y i by a skilful native so as to rise upon t o :1 g ; motion, and in a crooked direction, towards y given point yard or to return, with any given point with great precision, after a considerable flight, to within a two of the thrower; or, by first striking the ground near him, to bound so as to hit at a given distance, en ricochet, any object behind a tree.

NEW IMPRISONMENT BILL.—MOST IMPORTANT TO IN- SoLvENTS.—II appears that several clauses have been in serted in the new gaol regulation act, of the most vital im portance to debtors going to gaol, and yet the public seem to be completely in the dark respecting them. By the sth, 7th, and Bth clauses in the gaol regulation act, prisoners confined for debt are to be treated precisely in t he same manner as prisoners committed far crime — that is , o n g oin g into g aol, their_tierersons are to be searched—all letters op ened and read keeper—and is to be taken from them, and to be de p osited with the whatever correspondence takes place between them, their creditors, relatives, or friends, during their remaini ng in prison, is to be subjected to the s trictest surveillance. duty of this delicate investigation de volves upon the chaplain. Ve believe that the first agitation of the question as to the prisons towards debtors,'owers vested in the keepers of various sultory conversation amst n oceurred a few weeks ago, in a de the magistrates sitting in petty sessions at the judge's lodgi ngs , tha Lancaster. Some of the gentlemen were of opinion visiting " the regulation" intro... duced some time back by th e justices, by which cerr, fain privileges and comforts were 2 a t l i l l owed to the debtors according to their ability to provide ' em, had been super seded by the clauses above mentioned, and that the power which they held before the new re g ul ation taken out of their hands. A s there was a variance :) was these clauses, the home secretary, Lord NormanbY, was a dd resse d , and his opinion requested, whether debtors came under the - term " prisoners" in the act. His lordship, in answer, stated that they do so ; and that, in Pursuanc e o has act, their persons, on entering g aol, must be starched, th eir " taken from them, and the ir letters read, as well as those money the crown prisoners. As may be well supposed,•as so , -- , 1 as °' this circumstance became kno wn amongst the debtors i n the county gaol, they were seized with the greatest consternation. and astonishment; for hitherto the debtors side has been governed according to the old regulation. When the indig nation of some, the surprise of others, and the anxiety of all, Lad in some degree subsided, the ques tion with " the repub lic",‘Yas,—What must be (Tone ?

This was done in the part early of . last week •, therefore the debtors are at present awaiting the decision of his lordship with no lit tle There anxiety and doubt. .is another point, too, Which we omitted to mention previously , eq ually interested—namely, , in which the debtors f eel whether those who, through their friends or otherwise, by is called ' garnish,' or paying a stated sum of money, ' enjoy certain accommodas tions in the various apartments o w f h t e h t e he p r rison, will have this pavitege continued to them; or, are all to be Win* aon the county allowance."

(Concluded from the Standard of 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 I 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 the preceding day, might be removed every morning or evening, by a sufficient number of dust ants, 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 eye's to, the sewers, as I have already mentioned, should he - trapped. " Thirdly—A sufficient.supply of-water, when little rain flag, shouldhe Made - to flow, at least twice a week, copiUnsly 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 highlyprejudicial to the health of the inhabitants, who are compelled, by their circumstances, to reside in those places ; but 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 nf 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. " 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 2800 (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 be 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 be less in width than 40 feet, and laid off in straight lines and right angles. The leading streets should, as much 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 sac 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 score 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, why . ' 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 taktn 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. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—We are happy to observe a slight improvement in the demand for woollens ; the vessels recently arrived from New York having brought not merely favourable ac counts of the money markets in the United States, but also several orders. There are 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 MARKET.—At this market on Thursday there was an improved 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 WOOL 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 prices is still to rise. The best blanket wools are scarce and much inquired for; other sorts are without al. teration. HOLYWELL.—The greatest distress prevails in this town, principally caused by the stopping of the extensive cotton 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 vance of Id. per lb. ; and in East India tin there have been sales at 70s. per cwt. 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. LANCASHIRE. —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 consequence of which many are thrown out of employment. The cotton manufacturers at many other towns have adopted the same plan. The hatting trade at Oldham, Denton, and other places, has improved a little, and hands have more employment than they had six weeks ago. There are better prospects for se veral other trades th an t h ere was a month since ; yet there is great distress, principally on account of theligh prices of provisions, and the low state of wages to be obtained by operatives of ever) 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 sil d k ai i l weaving av h i u n t g it at is than i n an y other part of Lancashire : no fewer than 1100 factory operatives are out of work.- Middleton, Failsworth, Leigh, &c., improves The very slow ; advanced th e weavers ' wages for fine figured sarcenets , woven yet some of the manufact urers have this w eek 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 manufacture of silk goods. The calico block printers at sonic places have rather more work than they had a month ago. Mechanics in every town in Lancashire slack ; indeed,—there are a very great number out of employment.—Preston Chronicle. MANCHFSTF • AL—There was an exceedingly flat market, yesterday, both for yarn and for goods of all descriptions; very little business w as d one, but e r d r v m a a l no(fl the er continentalyar vvasascribed, mails, s we are not aware that there was any material alt erat i on of prices.

Miss Hope Johnstone is expected to be solemnized in the course of the ensuing month. A marriage is understood to be in contemplation between Mr. Rothschild, brother to Baron Samuel de Rothschild, and his cousin Miss Montifiore. The Earl of Kingstown is about establishing an agricultu ral model school at Mitchelstown, to take apprentices, and have them bred up as working farmers. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton, with Lady Charlotte Gre ville, Viscount Emlyn, 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 resignationi to the Home Office. .

Since.—Worcester Herald. • • ••• BANK OF ENGLAND.—The court of 'directors on the 23d 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 bn 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. An extensive gold mine has been discovered in Randolph county, Alabama. In a single day gold to the amount of 4000 dollars was obtained. One lump was found worth 320 dollars.

WHEAT Sowvzo.—lt is expected that a considerable breadth of wheat will be sown in this county during the earls• part of the ensuing month. The velvet red, or any good brown wheat, has been recommended for the purpose, and the plan is stated to be superior to spring sowing. Much of the prospect as to the next harvest, will depend upon the state of the weather during the two ensuing months.—Glon cestershire Chronicle. GENEROUS HIGHWAYMEN.—On Tuesday, the 21st inst., John Dyson, a handloom weaver at Crompton, near Oldham, was on his way home from Rochdale, and when at Brood lane two men demanded his money or they would take his life. He told them he was a weaver out of employment ; they threw him down, tore his clothes, and took all his mo ney, three-pence. One of the highwaymen replied that it appeared he was a poor man, and on account of injuring his clothing he gave him a shilling; they then left him.—Preston Chronicle. REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.—On Friday, were interred at Doon, in this county, John Nolan, aged 114 years, and his wife, aged 105. This centenarian couple died on the same day, and were buried in the one grave. They enjoyed uniform good health for a series of years beyond the ordinary age of mankind, and last Sunday week the old man walked a mile to chapel. They have left a numerous progeny of grand children and great-grand-children, who attended the funeral. —Limerick Standard. THE GLOUCESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD.—This railway appears to he silently progressing towards completion, and the preparations for opening some portion at least of the line, are daily becoming more manifest. One of the new American engines has been lately placed upon the line, and a beautiful one it looks ; and, within the last few days, has made several experimental trips between Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, performing the distance of nine miles in thir teen minutes. At present everything augurs well for the success and prosperous accomplishment of this important undertaking.—Gloucester Chronicle. NOVEL MAN-TRAP.--We believe a practice exists among some persons driving carts of helping their horses to hay from the ricks of farmers while passing along the roads in certain districts of this county (Ayrshire). These thefts, in a locality on the banks of the river Ayr, had become com mon enough to be felt as a grievance; but the offenders could not be secured, notwithstanding the greatest vigilance on the part of those aggrieved. One day last week, how ever, a depredator was taken in a very peculiar manner. He had left his horse and cart on the road, and was tearing away at the root of a corn-stack, a great deal more industriously than if at a day's wages. The stack, by some chance, stood off the perpendicular, and the greedy reiver drew out armful by armful till he fairly sapped its foundation, when the stack fell over him, and buried him alive under about 100 stone of straw ! The object of his covetousness being so plentifully showered upon him, he bellowed lustily for relief; and the overturn of the stack having been noticed by persons in its vicinity, the culprit was extricated just in time to save his life. His reputation, however, perished ; and after being heartily laughed at, he was allowed to depart. We should think he will keep his eye aloft the next time he tries this trick.—Edinburgh Observer. PORT FLEETWOOD.—On Tuesday last, a first-class steam dredge, of upwards of 100 feet in length, and adapted to lift 300 tons of submarine matter per hour, from 17 feet below the water line, was launched at Port Fleetwood, amidst the huzzas of the vast crowds assembled on both shores of the harbour, the firing of guns, and the performances of a band of music. This substantial vessel has been built at Fleet wood-upon-Were, by Mr. Speakman, under the directions of Capt. Denham, F,R.S., consulting marine surveyor for the Wyre Harbour improvements. A party of 80 were re galed, and toasted this rapidly increasing undertaking. The day way most boisterous, a strong gale north-west ; but it proved the well adapted site for ship-building, for this rather ponderous fabric was launched, at the height of the gale, in perfect safety, into tidal water, which permits a vessel of 20 feet draught to be afloat at half-springs at merely half her her length frem the ways. This vessel will afford a power ful auxiliary to the operations which Capt. Denham is con ducting. His rate of progress may now be conceived, when it is stated that during her preparation 30,000 cubic yards of protruding matter has been removed, and a tide-deserting dam of 40,000 yards, for concentrating the reflux of the Wyre estuary, has been effected. We are enabled to state also, that the Foot of Wyre Lighthouse, reared upon screw piles, within pistol-shot of 20 fathom water, and intended to be lighted by dioptree order of light in March, has, to the immortalizing of Mitchell's patent screw-piles, and to the ' marine surveyor's proposition, unflinchingly braved the un usual trial of g gale from open sea at the height of a spring tide. The two other lighthouses (on shore) are in course of erection, so that a leading line right in may be anticipated for dead half-neaps by July next, thus rendering it as easy and "as safe as Wyre-water."—Preston Pilot. WRECK OF THE BARQUE MARGARET MILLER.—This fine new barque, which is about 600 tons burthen, Pickford master, bound from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Liverpool, was wrecked on Monday morning last. The ill-fated vessel left the port of Halifax on the 11th of December, with a cargo of timber. By the gale of Sunday last, she was driven to leeward, and on Monday morning fell in with the breakers of Blackpool ; she then went over a point of the salthouse bank, by which means she lost her rudder, ;and shipped a great deal of water. At this time a heavy gale was blowing from the west. when catching upon another part of the bank, she was rendered a complete wreck. In about two hours afterwards she was cast ashore, at the mouth of the Ribble, about three miles below Lytham. On making the beach, the crew, consisting of fourteen men and a passenger, were ena bled to land with safety, at low water, but some of them were in such an enfeebled state that they were unable to walk, and were obliged to be carried in a cart to Lytham, where they met with the most kind and hospitable treatment from Mr. M'Kie, Commercial Inn. Had the cargo been anything else but timber, all the hands on board must inevitably have pe rished, and the vessel been totally lost. The cargo will all be saved, and the vessel broken up, and sold for old timber. —Preston Chronicle. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT THE SUMMIT TUNNEL.—Ay, - - FUL Loss OF LlFE.—Early on Thursday morning last, a terrible accident occurred in the shaft, No. 11 of the Sum mit Tunnel, on the line of the Manchester and Leeds Rail way. Six miners were at work in the tunnel when one of the beams supporting the roof gave way, and a part of the tun nel fell in with tremendous force ; four of the men narrowly escaped with their lives, but the other two were left buried beneath the ruins. An alarm was immediately given, and a number of miners were instantly upon the spot and the most vigorous operations were set on foot to extricate the poor sufferers ; after an immense toil of six hours one of the poor fellows was heard uttering the most heart rending moans, mingled we are sorry to add with dreadful imprecatioris ; in about another hour he was extricated, but his legs and arms were found to be broken, and be had only been saved from instant death by one of the beams falling crosswise over him. Every attention was paid to the poor man, and the exertions of the miners were redoubled to extricate the other sufferer, but it was not till late in the evening that he was discovered —quite dead, and it is somewhat singular that about the time his body was discovered the other man expired. An inquest was held upon the bodies yesterday, but the result of the in quest did not reach our office before going to press.—Hali fax Guardian. THE TEA TRADE.—A considerable advance has taken place in the retail price of tea in Newcastle this week, in consequence of the stoppage of the trade with China. The most useful sorts are now nearly 200 per cent. dearer in the London market than they were six or seven months ago. The lowest priced tea is now six shillings per lb., tolerably good Congou 6s. Bd., and fine teas higher in proportion to their quality. It is much to be feared that the advance will not stop here, however reluctant the trade and the public may be to a future rise of prices. The stocks of the dealers are nearly exhausted, and when they are forced into the Lon don market for a further supply, they will have to pay enormous prices to the speculators and merchants, who are now the almost exclusive holders of this necessary article. Since the month of June last, the black tea most generally consumed in this district, has nearly trebled its price in the London sale room.—Newcastle Journal. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. — Last Christmas twelve months the Rev. D. Wilson, of Mungrisdale, planted some young apple trees and two young pear trees in his garden. One of the pear trees blossomed very luxuriantly, and had six fine pears upon it, and the fruit was promising and gra dually hastening to maturity until the latter end of July, and no doubt would have come to perfection had not cattle got to the tree and completely stripped it of foliage and the fruit. About two months after this, in October, the tree blossomed a second time, and three fresh pears again formed, and are at this moment about the size of a nut. This is something remarkable, considering .he unfavourable season for fruit, the mountainous locality, and it being the first year after planting. The fruit, of course, will never come to per fection : but the circumstance shews what nature sometimes can do in opposition to climate and the inclemency of the weather. —Carlisle Patriot. _ ANT I-ConN-L AW FALL Ac Y .—lt was stated at the recent Corn-law orgies at Manchester, that the duties on foreign wheat having risen to 22s Sd per qr. it is only necessary to re peal the Corn Laws, and to reduce the pMce to the consumer by the wole of that amount. The monstrous falsehood of this impudent statement will be apparent by referring to our weekly corn-markets, where will be found Dantzic Wheat n m o i t u q e u d i , te an cl f e a a r r, f t ro h ni eref b o e r n e e , fi t t h i a n t g i t l h t e he en i n m an p m or e t r, d i u t t stated as follows : —F ree 72 s to 84 s , i n b on d M s t o 60 s . I s it y wn w nl e d re p l into the pockets of the capitalists or foreign grower, who Remit the duty of 22s Bd, and the e ln o a n t se tn qu t e h n e ee would add the remitted d u ty t o t h e pr i ce o f t h e commo di ty ? government would be, that the whole amount would be to the retail purchaser. It would be a present, a pure gratu ity, to the owner of the crown. The price of wheat is not the price of the bonded warehouse, or of the producing country, but the price of the market where it is exposed to sale ; so that, take off the duty on Dantzic wheat now in bond, and you would not benefit the consumer one farthing, except so far as the introduction of a certain quantity of wheat might tend to lower the market price. This, indeed, might be effected ; but all the foreign bonded wheat now in warehouse, if brought into market next Monday, and sold forthwith, would not reduce the price more than is Gd per qr. a reduc tion which would not be felt in the price of a 41b. loaf, but actually swallowed up by the capitalists of one kind or another—the miller or the corn-factor. So basely false is the assertion that the consumer is aggrieved to the , whole ex tent of the present duty =foreign cora.—rlsktocaittleirowaufl• Lord Holland is confined to his room by a severe attack of gout. The Earl of Manvers has subscribed the munificent sum of £4OO. in aid of the funds of the new church at Sneaton. This liberal donation was in addition to a large plot of land given by the noble earl for the site. A letter from Dover states that the shipments of silver thence during the past week have amounted to 20 tons. The coronation of the King of Denmark is fixed for the 22d of May. . . The Leeds subscription for relief of the poor has reached £5OOO, and a larger sum is called for.

FAT Ox.—A four year old Devonshire ox, fed by Mr. Josiah Castree, of this city, was last week slaughtered by Mr. J. Barnes, butcher, of Cheltenham, and exhibited upon opening a most extraordinarS , yield of suet. The entire weight of the carcase was 40 score 6 lbs ; the suet on the kidney of the close or right side weighed fibs, without di vesting the sirloin of its fair proportion of fat; the girth 4 feet 2 inches, and Ifoot 9 inches, at the base. The four quarters of the animal and also the suet were weighed in the presence of several eminent graziers and butchers.—Glouces ter Chronicle. The Hon. P.

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 a 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.

It will be in the recol lection of our readers that Mr. Chance sent his resignation to the home-office some months.ago.—Aris's . Birmingham Gazzetle.• • . . . , How COMES IT ?----We ask how comes it to pass that John George ' the -great and mighty Earl of Durham, who was sent ont 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'nnigbt ?—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 first two or three sessions to be held in Toronto. This will do away with the suspicions so roundly expressed, that the influential metropolitans oprae the re-union for selfish motives. — Niagara Chrorrcie. DENBIGHSHIRE BrAcTrow.—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 oflonour, 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.—Chester Courant. VENERABLE YEW TREE.—There is at presentan 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 be 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.

Bosanquet, will lead to the altar early in March, one of the daughters of Lord Chief Justice Tindal.—Morning Herald. CONSERVATISM Al' MANCHESTER. — SOMe 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 be 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 off 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, WooLwicx.—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 corp s o f royal engineers, stationed at Woolwich, which was carried into effect on Monday evening, by the force embarking off the Royal Arsenal, in the Lloyd freight 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 o nl y t h e latter , as has been customary in that branch of the service. Two light field guns and carriages will accompany them, and they will take in at Gravesend several detachments from line regiments now waiting there for that purpose. —Morning Herald. TYPHUS FEVER. - It is singular that a spot so proverbially healthy as Casterton should be suffering so peculiarly from the typhus fever. In the school and village there have been '7O 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 met by much sympathy and liberal assistance from va rious parts of the kingdom. —Lancaster Gazette.

Nothing new to report in our Butter and Provision market ; the demand being fair for everything, and prices fully supported. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, JANUAIIY 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 238 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 )73 bags, previously this year 1152 bags, total 1330 bags. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 22 The sales on Thursday last were 3500 bales; Friday 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, - .ld 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 week's quotations. The import of the week amounts to 17,788 bales. LIVERFOOL:CO-RN.MARKET, JAN', 28. Since last Tuesday the imports of all kinds of grain from Ireland, Coistways, 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, but 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 6d per quarter, on all other grain there is no alteration. Several thousand barrels of American Flour, in bond, have recently changed hands at 29s 3d to 30s 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 2d advance on previous rates ; for Flour in bond 20s 6d was obtained; for all other articles the sales were very limited, and little or no alteration can be made in our quota tions of last week.

SUOAR.—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. FoßEioN.—There was much passing by private contract, but prices underwent no change ; the public sale of 2000 boxes Havana is put off: 40 chests brown Rio were offered, and sold at full prices, viz. low yellow at 225 to 22s 6d, and ordinary to good brown at 20s to 21s per cwt. COFFEE.—There was much inquiry for clean West India Coffee, bid the small supply prevented the execution of large orders. There are few buyers of either St. Domingo or Brazil. TALLOW.-- 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 sellers under 49s 6d for the former, and 4.9 s 3d for the latter purpose. RIJN', BRANDY, and HorLANDs.—For Jamaica Rum there has been an active demand, and prices have further improved lid to 2d per gallon. A government contract for 80,000 gallons of Rum is declared for Thursday, Brandy has secured a fair sale ; first brands of the vintage of 1830 at is Id to 5s 2d, ditto of 1837 4s 11d to 5s Id, ditto of 1839 4s 7d to 4s 9d per gallon, and at these rates holders are firm. Geneva sells slowly at 2s to 28 Id per gallon. The demand for British Corn Spirits has been limited, and some contracts have been made at gs 10d, but most of the distillers are unwilling to sell under los per gallon, and even this price is unre munerating.
