LITERARY NOTICE: Sacred Poems. By Mary Anne Browne. LOndon : Hamil ton, Adams, and Co. ; Liverpool : Marples. Liverpool may well boast of her two Brownes—of Felicia, who has long since left us to join those seraphic choirs whose sublime strains she so sweetly emulated on her earthly pil grimage ; and of Mary Anne, who still lives amongst us to cheer us with the divine harmony of sacred poesy. The volume before us contains several pieces of a very high de gree of merit. Indeed, there is not one specimen which does not rise far above mediocrity. We understand that the profits of the work will be given in aid of the funds for the, erection of St. Silas' Church, in Pembroke-place. It is de lightful to find genius dm rendered subservient to the cause of religion. The deditatory lines to the Rev. H. M`Neile, which have already appeared in our columns, are extremely appropriate, and constitute a tribute worthy of the revered Christian pastor to whom they are addressed, and to whose spirited example and exertions the Church' of St. Silas will chiefly owe its existence. We sincerely trust that the object towards which the profits arising from the sale of these " Sacred Poems" will be given, will procure for the volume an extensive circulation. It will .be found a very suitable present from one Christian friend to another. We make the following extract : NEHEMIAH, 11. IS And they said, Let us rise up and build We build a temple, Lord, to Thee, An altar to Thy holy name : The deaf shall hear, the blind shall see, The dumb Thy wondrous praise proclaim ; Here shall be holy springs of The fountains of the Eternal Word; Here shall the Spirit's inward strife By Thy almighty power be stirred. We build in faith--Thy promise saith, A blessing rests on work like ours, Here shall the soul be snatched from death, And pride laid low, with all its powers. Where two or three together meet, In the blest sanction of Thy name, Thy presence makes even sorrow sweet, Thy Spirit lights a holy flame. We build in hope—as sunbeams gild The field where lies the hidden corn, Hope hovers o'er the walls we build, The shrines of mercies yet unborn. We build in love—who bath discharged Such task, by duty coldly bound ? Our hearts, by heavenly grace enlarged, Would wrap the whole creation round. We build with prayer, and not alone That Thou wilt make Thy promise true ; There are petitions of our own, A deed like this may well renew. By every sorrow we have known, By every chastening of thy rod, May each be built, a living stone, Into the temple of our God! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. r HE REPEAL AGITATION (From the Morning Herald.) Few things are calculated to - impress an Englishman ,vith a lower estimate of the intellect of Roman Ca tholic Ireland, than the influence exercised by such a person as Mr. Daniel O'Connell. The man has little to recommend him, excepting the possession of a large measure of physical energy. His eloquence (Heaven save the mark !) is of the most bald and vulgar de- His jokes, his pathetics, his stirring appeals —or what are meant as such—are all stereotyped. They occur in every harangue which he delivers. His life is spent in grinding the same notes in the same manner on his little rhetorical hurdy-gurdy. His one tune is moreover a bad one, and badly played. This wretched impostor has been, for the last six weeks, babbling about a repeal of the union ; and the theme would seem to possess deep attractions for his Romanist auditories. Daniel has, it is true, played fast and loose with this subject often before ; but there is in the bare mention of it, even by faithless lips, something infinitely seductive to the hereditary enemies of England. Yet, by a repeal of the union—if no thing more than Daniel and his partizans avow—were intended, Ireland would, assuredly, prove a loser to a fearful extent. If the union were repealed—if the no bility and gentry of Ireland were again collected in Dublin—Daniel and men of his stamp would (on the assumption that property was to be allowed to exercise its legitimate influence) be utterly extinguished.— Nearly all the landed property of Ireland is in the hands of Protestants ; and the weight of that super incumbent mass of wealth would speedily—if the re peal party entertained honest designs—extinguish the flames of any agitation which Mr. O'Connell might then raise. scription But the repeal party does not entertain honest de signs. That party might now, in the event of repeal being carried, hope to command an almost exclusively Romanist House of Commons in Dublin, together with corporations converted into strongholds of offence against Protestantism. The first movement of the re pealers would be, to confiscate the property of the Es tablished Church in Ireland ; and, then, to bring into operation a sweeping system of plunder and assassina tion —a system, of which Protestant landholders should he the victims. Nothing, indeed, is more probable, than that in the event of a repeal of the union being carried, the Romanist House of Commons that might assemble in Stephen's-green, would declare the fee simple of the soil of Ireland to be vested in the occu pants—in other words, in the Roman Catholic pea santry. Separation, in short, from England—separa tion by any means—is the object of the repealers.— Their sole motive is inextinguishable hatred to Eng land, and to her Protestant institutions. A repeal of the union, if aimed at in good faith, would prove utterly ruinous to Ireland. The terms of that union have been far more favourable to Ireland than to England. These terms press severely at every moment on all the industrious classes in Great Britain. The labourers of England are, by means of boundless importations of low-priced Irish labour, robbed of the fair value of their toil. The farmers of England are exposed to unfair competition with the growers of Ir ish corn—with the growers of corn which is produced by means of cheap labour, and without the check of heavy taxation in any shape. The labour-market and the corn-market of England are thus invaded, greatly to the injury of the classes whose natural privilege it is to supply these markets. It is, of course, most desi rable that the industry of Ireland should be encour- ged, but not at the expense of English industry. The industry of Ireland ought to be lifted up—instead of being permitted to pull down the industry of England. A repeal of the union on honest terms would lead to the exclusion from English markets of Irish labour ers, as well as of Irish corn, and farm produce of all I'o the agriculturists and to the industrious classes of England, the change would be most advan tageous. Reasons of. policy render it, of course, desi rable that the union with Ireland should be maintained even on the present conditions. Our object is merely to indicate that by these terms and conditions England is, in many respects, a heavy loser. "REMEMBER THE POOR." Where! In every place When! Every day of your 1. When you eat a good dinner—lie down on your feather bed—enjoy your parlour ease—ride into the country—and when you pray—remember the privations of the poor, and be determined to deny yourself, in order to afford them re lief, and to better their condition. 2. When you go into the pantry, remember the poor, and look if there be not some cold meat, a little bacon, butter, bread, or milk, which you can spare, and which would rejoice the hearts of many a hungry family. 3. When you look through your drawers and wardrcibes, remember the poor and see if you cannot pick up a shirt, a waistcoat, a coat, a pair of stockings, a flannel singlet, or some other useful article, wherewith to assist in clothing the naked. 4. When you go to a sale, remember the poor, and think if there be not a few chairs, a pan, a bedstead, a loom, or something else that you could by cheap, in order to help some destitute family, whose house has been broken up through poverty. 5. When you have a horse standing idle, remember the poor, and consider whether it might not be employed in fetching coals for some poor fatherless family, or riding out those who are sick and almost dying for want of fresh air. 6. When your garden brings forth abundantly, remember send them some potatoes, cabbages, onions, or anything you have to spare. 7. When you are regulating your cellars and lumber places, remember the poor, and instead of selling your useless things for a mere trifle, order all your old iron, brass, lead, spoons, pans, umbrellas, broken glass, physic bottles, skins, and rags, to be collected and given to some poor person who will make them into money. 8.

An appeal to the People and Government of Great Britain against the Niger Expedition : a Letter addressed to the Right Honorable Lord John Russell. By Robert Jamie son, Esq. (From the Colonial Gazette) This small publication is full of important matter. It is an appeal to the colonial minister, entreating him not to destroy a growing branch of our commerce by promoting an under taking which professedly contemplates the regeneration of Africa, but which can only serve to involve this country in relations at once ludicrous and expensive, and to increase the means of government jobbing. It is an appeal to which that minister has turned a deaf ear, and which is therefore now made in last resort to the nation at large. Mr. Jamieson examines the grounds upon which the parlia mentary grant of £61,000 to meet the outfit and expences of the Niger expedition is vindicated by Sir Fowell Buxton and his " Society for effecting the Extinction of the Slave-trade and for promoting the Civilisation of Africa." These grounds, as recapitulated by Mr. Jamieson from Sir Fowell's book are briefly— " Pirst, the success, such as it is, which has attended the colony of Sierra Leone, and the benefits which might result to Africa, it the experiment' were `tried on a larger scale' on the banks of the Niger : and, " Secondly, the necessity. of suppressing the slave-traffic i the Bights of Benin and Biafra ; from whence, it is repre sented, there is, to the exclusion of legitimate commerce, an export of 140,000 slaves annually. The former of these grounds Mr. Jamieson disposes of briefly and conclusively as follows— " Now, it is not needful for us to speak of the glimmer of civilization' here alluded to. Neither shall we here al lude to the agricultural advancement of the colony, further than to request the reader's attention to the facts. That of the paltry amount of its total annual exports to all quarters, shown in the official table subsequently referred to, only to the value of £4,577 can be considered as the production of the soil from labour : that the article of cotton wool (though one so easy of production) is not once therein named : that honourable mention is made of coffee as an article of export, to the amount of i.E2O sterling: that sugar is therein men tioned as an artic e of import, to the amount of £500: and that tobacco and rum are also found among the articles im ported, to the extent of £3,500 and 41,800 respectively ; and all this with a soil, as shown in the appendix, suitable for every tropical production, and labour at 31d. to 4d. per diem. Great encouragement, truly, for a further and en larged trial of the experiment' elsewhere. " But we shall endeavour to show what that ' large pro portion of African commerce' really is, ' which has taken refuge, as it were, in a spot so inconvenient.' " By official tables laid before Parliament, and printed last year, it appears, that the total amount of exports from Sierra Leone to all quarters in 1836 (the latest table given) were as follows— " In ginger, pepper, arrowroot, rice, coffee, (the last to the extent of £2O sterling,) to the value of " In camwood, plank, gum, hides, ox-horns, ivory, bees'-wax, &c., to the value of 7,127 " In palm-oil, not produced.in the colony, though shipped there, but from distant parts of the coast " In timber, not procured in the colony, though cleared at its Customhouse " Such are the retuns from commerce to Sierra Leone. And if such be the result after fifty years' fostering care of philanthropists, and the expenditure of millions of public money, what are we to expect from a trial elsewhere of ' the experiment on a large scale?' " Turning to the second ground, the assumption that there exists an " exclusion of legitimate commerce" from the Niger is shown to be unfounded. "And first, as to the exclusion of legitimate commerce, let us take a look at the actual trade to that river, the Niger, on which we are told ' none is found.' This river, we need hardly state, is now known to flow into the Atlantic, by its several mouths in the Bight of Biafra ; and it may be readily ascertained, by reference to the Custom-house books of Liver pool, that the import of palm oil from the west coast of Africa (nine-tenths of it being from the Bight of Biafra) into Liver pool alone, in 1836, the year above named in reference to Sierra Leone, was 9,783 tons, and in 1839, 14,126 tons ; be sides ivory and other commodities to a large amount, the quantities and values of which are not so easily ascertainable. To say nothing of these last, however, the value of this oil is, at the present price of the article, about half a million sterling, procured in exchange almost exclusively for British manufactures ; and of this oil three fourths at least (or to the value of about £350,000) are produced and manufactured on the Niger, and shipped from its delta. Such is the legiti mate trade of a river, on which the projectors of an expedition to it believe and tell us ' none is found a trade which took its rise from the date of the abolition of the slave traffic by 'England, but which has made its principal advancement ix the last twenty years ; a trade with England, the formation of which has not cost Government a shilling, though now giving employment to from 12,000 to 15,000 tons of British shipping annually, from the port of Liverpool only." The allegation that 140,000 slaves are annually exported from the Bights of Benin and Biafra is next proved to be untrue. Mr. Jamieson shows, in the first place, that the as sertion rests upon insufficient evidence ; and he produces, in the second place, satisfactory evidence to show that it is im possible. " Again, in reference to the other allegation, that there is an causal export of slaves from these parts, to the extent of 140,000 annually—the correctness of which we deny—we re quest attention to the following extracts of letters on which that allegation is founded, and which we find in The Slave Trade, addressed to the author of that book by Governor M`Lean, of Cape Coast Castle. The first bears date the 11th of June, 1838, and was written during Governor M`Lean's visit to this country ; the other is dated from Cape Coast, in October, of the same year, upon his return to Africa. " ' June 1838.—1 n compliance with your wishes, I beg leave to state to you, in this form, what I have already men tioned to you verbally, namely, that in the year 1834 I have every reason to believe that the number of slaves carried off from the Bights of Benin and Biafra amounted to 140,000. I have not beside me the particular data whereon I ground this calculation ; but 1 can state generally, that I founded it upon the number of slave vessels which actually passed the forts on the Gold Coast during that year, and of those others of whose presence on the coast I had certain information from her Majesty's cruisers or otherwise.' " October 1838.—Slavers have continued to pass the forts, some of them, as usual, stopping here. From various inquiries that I have made, and by collecting my information, as received from several sources, I can state as a fact that there are at this moment on the coast two hundred slave-ships, all under Portuguese colours.' " Now, we beg it may be particularly noticed, that the former of these letters speaks of the Slave• trade in ' the Bights of Benin and Biafra' in 1834, while the letter speaks of it ' upon the coast' in 1838. It is necessary particularly to note this, because, from overlooking this circumstance, the projectors of the Niger Expedition appear to have fallen into the grand mistake of assuming that the Slave-trade still continues in the Bights in question, to at least as great an extent as in 1834. And accordingly, upon this assumption, the following statement is given in The Slave Trade, p. 52, of the annual export of slaves from all parts of Africa, namely, " From the south-eastern coast 15,000 From Angola, &c 22,929 Prom the Ports to the northward of Cape Coast 74,929 say 75,000 Given by Mr. M`Lean for the exports from the Bights of Benin and Biafra.... 140,000 215,000 Now, supposing each• vessel to carry on the average 400 slaves, and to procure her cargo on the average in two months, the quota here alleged to have been supplied by the Bights of Benin and Biafra, would have required a succes sion of not less than 60 slave-ships continuously kept up, or the arrival and departure of 360 ships within the year, upon a range of about 500 miles of coast constantly traversed by our cruisers ! The thing seems in itself incredible ! " But however this may have been in 1834, we are pre pared to show, by the testimony of respectable men, com manders and supercargoes of vessels trading to the coast — testimony, the correctness of which we presume may any day be satisfactorily ascertained at the Admiralty, by reference to the log-books of our cruisers on the coast—that a great and important change has taken place in 1838-9. From such testimony procured in writing, now lying before us, we select the following— " TO ROBERT JAMIESON, ESQ, " Liverpool, 16th July, 1840. " Sir—Being on the point of sailing for Africa, I, at your request, state in writing, what I have already mentioned in your hearing, that I was in Bonny last voyage, from the month of October 1839, to the month of March, this year, during which time there was but one slave-vessel there. " ' That I was likewise in that river in 1838, from four to five months, during which time there was only one slaver there; and that it is my opinion the export of slaves from Bonny River is at an end, if the same watchfulness be shown by her Majesty's cruisers as at present. " ' I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, " PETER DOUGLAS, commanding the barque Brutus.' _ " Liverpool, 22d July 1840. " ' Sir, I now state in writing, what I have before stated to you verbally, namely, that I was in command of the barque Boddington, of Liverpool, in the Old Calabar River, Africa, from the 23d of February to the 21st of September, 1839, and that the only vessels that were engaged in the slave-trade in the river, during that time, were two small schooners, from Prince's Island, owned by a man of colour at Prince's, both of which were taken by her Majesty's cruizers shortly after leaving the river ; and I firmly believe that the slave-trade is entirely at an end in Old Calabar, and will continue so, if the same vigilance is kept up by the same class of her Majesty's cruisers on that station ; for the men-of-war have such easy communication with the river from Fernando Po, that it is quite impossible for a slaver to escape from Calabar if vigilantly looked after. " These facts lam ready to give my solemn declaration to before a magistrate, if required.—l am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant, _ " • W. Moss.' • • - Liverpool, 23d July, 1810. 44 In reply to your inquiry, 1 beg to inform you, that I was with the barque Chatham and schooner Killermont at Cameroons, from the 10th of April to the lattar end of No vember, 1839, and that during that time there was no slave vessel there or in the neighbourhood, with the exception of a small schooner, belonging to the Island of Prince's, and manned by blacks. She might carry about twenty slaves ; but left, after remaining three months, without obtaining one. I was likewise at Cameroons in the Strathmore and Killer mont for four months, in the year 1838, and there was no slaver there then, nor had been for a considerable time pre viously. " This I am ready solemnly to declare before any Ma gistrate, if required ; and it is my firm belief, that the Slave trade on that part of the coast is entirely extinguished, should our cruisers continue to keep as bright a look out as they have done. I remain your very obedient servant. " ' JOHN DICK, late ? , I , as u te v r e o rp f o th o e l, b l a B r t q h u j e u C ly h . at l h B a 4 t o u." " ' At your wish I now state on paper what I had before done in your presence verbally, namely, that I was lying in and off the river Benin, or Formosa, from the midd l e of De cember 1839 to the 22d of March 1840, during which time no slave -vessel was there, with the one following exception. "' In the month of February last, a Brazilian brig, the Santa la Rosa, came to anchor off the bar, sent in her car g o by boats, with a supercargo and three men, to form, it was believed, a slave factory on the river. Soon after (the brig having left the mouth of the river) the whole of these men were massacred, and the property plundered by the natives, with, it was believed, the sanction of one of their principal " On a former voyage, in the early part of 1839, was both at Bonny and Benina ; saw no slaves whatever, neither did I on the passage home. " These facts I am ready and willing solemnly to declare before a Magistrate ,: if required. e l d o Tusor:, brig Satisfaction.' " Here, then, is proof of the actual state of matters in re lation to the Slave-trade at the present time at Bonny, Old Calabar, and Cameroon', formerly the great slave-marts of the Bight of Biafra, as well as at Benin in the adjoining Bight. We request for it attentive perusal; and, we ask, will the commercial community, will the p u bli c genera l ly, believe, after reading this testimony, that the Bights of Benin and Biafra continue to send away 140,000 slaves ats nuaelly ? The assumption is a mistake, and akin to that which we have just exposed in the alleged total absence of legitimate commerce from the same quarters. " The fact is, that in his anxiety to show so great an ex port of slaves from the Bights of Benin and Biafra, the Writer of The Slave Trade seems to have overlooked the withdrawal of the traffic to another part of the coast ; namely, the South-western, embracing the Portuguese pos sessions of Angola and Benguela, and the countries of Congo and Loango immediately to the Northward of these, as likewise the South-eastern coast. Here, be it observed, up to a very late period, our cruisers had no powers to cap ture slave vessels under the Portuguese flag, whereas they had powers of capture on the Northern coast ; and the dis tance to and from Brazil is short, and the voyage easily and speedily performed." EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE OF A ROMISH PRIEST. (Front the Standard.) In the late remarkable trial of Hearne v. Stowell, the fol lowing astounding piece of evidence was given : " The Rev. James Crooke examined.—l am a Roman Ca tholic priest, and senior of St. Augustine's Chapel, in Man chester. " Are there not many instances where persons who in flicted penance on themselves have been held by your church as objects of admiration ?—That is matter of ecclesiastical history, upon which all may form whatever opinions they please. I know of no such instances. I ask the question again, as matter of fact, have not per sons who inflicted extraordinary penances on themselves been canonised by your church, and, of course, held up as objects of admiration ? " Mr. Wighttnan.—Speak as to your own knowledge ; do you know of any such persons ?_ . . " Witness in C! ontin ation. —I certainly never knew of any such instances. " I ask again, have not those who inflicted severe penances on themselves been canonised by your church ?—I say again that I know nothing of such things of my own knowledge. " Do you not know that clergymen of your own church hold up such persons to admiration ?—I hare no distinct re collection of any instance of the kind. " I ask you again, is it not the case ?—I know nothing of it myself.' Now against this, without a word of comment, we shall merely place the following extracts, not from any individual writer of the Romish Church, but from " nit ROMAN BREVIARY, restored according to the decree of the moat holy Council of Trent; and published by command of the chief pontiff, St. Pius V., and recognised by Pops Clement VIII. and Pope Urban VIII." In this Breviary, the authorised formulary of the Romish Church, the following Saints are commemorated : " Sr. FIDELIS.—Amidst austere fasts, watchings, and fla gellations, pursuing himself with a salutary hatred ; he showed towards others the love that a mother displays to wards her sons. " ST. MARY MAGDELEN DE PAZZI.—She tortured her body with hair-cloth, whippings, cold, hunger, watchings, nakedness, and all kinds of punishments. " ST. ANTHONY, BISHOP AND CONFESSOR.—He laid down to rest upon the ground on the naked boards ; and al ways wearing hair-cloth, and sometimes girded with an iron chain next to his skin ; he always completely preserved his virginity. " ST. JULIANA.—She was wont to bruize her body with scourges, knotted little ropes, iron girdles, watchings, and sleeping on the naked ground. She partook very sparingly of food, and that a vile sort, four days of the week ; on the other two she was content with only angel's food; the Sun day was exempted, on which she was nourished on bread and water only. " ST. JEROME EMILIAN.—In a mountain, which is close to -, having discovered a cave, he hid himself in it ; where, beating himself with whips, and passing whole days fasting, prayer being protracted far into the night, and enjoying a short sleep upon the naked rock, he paid the penalties of his own faults and those of others. " ST. IGNATIUS THE CONFESSOR.—He passed a year sub duing his flesh by a rough chain and hair cloth, laying on the ground, and blooding himself with iron whips. " ST. CAJETAN THE CONFESSOR.—He sometimes afflicted his body by beatings whole nights. and he never would be persuaded to relax the asperity of his life, witnessing that he desired to die in ashes and sackcloth. " ST. Nicolas.—Subduing his body with a rough gar ment, stripes, and an iron ehain. . . , " ST. JOSEPH, A CUPERTINE.—HC afflicted his body with hair-cloth, with whips, with chains; in short, with every kind of hardship and punishment. " ST. FRANCIS BORGIA, CONFESSOR.—In that pursuit of a stricter mode of life Francis reduced his body`to a state of extreme thinness, by fastings, by iron chains, by a very rough hair-cloth, by bloody and long beatings, and by very short sleep. " ST. THERESA.—She burned with so anxious a desire of chastising her body, that although the diseases with which she was afflicted might have dissuaded her from it, she often tortured her body with hair-cloth, chains, handfulls of net tles, and other very sharp scourges, and sometimes she would roll among the thorns ; being accustomed thus to address God,. ' 0 Lord, be it my lot to suffer, or to die.' " ST. PETER OF ALCANTARA.—He brought his body into bondage by perpetual watchings, fastings, scourges, cold, nakedness, and all kinds of hardships, having entered into a compact with it to allow it no rest in this world. " ST..JOHN CANTIUS.—His sleep was little, and upon the ground; his garment covered his nakedness, his food just warded off death ; he preserved his virgin purity, like a lily among the thorns, by a rough hair-cloth, by scourges, and by fastings. " ST. CHARLES, BISHOP AND CONFESSOR.—In the mean time approaching as a reconciler with most humble prayers, a pubiic supplication having been appointed, with a rope tied to his neck, and his naked feet also made bloody, carrying a cross, and offering himself as a victim, he strove to avert the Divine indignation. " InIDENL—He subdued his body by nightly watchings, by rough hair-cloth, and by continual scourgings. " ST. GERTRUDE.—In order that she might have more leisure for God, she afflicted her body with watching, absti nence, and other torments. " Sr. JOHN OF THE CROSS. — Having declared war against himself, as against a most inveterate enemy, he in a short time crucified the flesh with its vices and concupiscence. by watchings, fastings, iron scourges, and all kinds of punish ments. " OFFICE OF ST. LOUIS BEItTRAND, CONFESSOR.- Subduing his flesh by fastings, scourgings, hair-cloth, and watchings, he nourished his mind with the food of continual prayer. "Sr. FRANCIS XAvuen.—He was so infuriated against himself with iron scourges that he was frequently covered with blood. " ST. CANUTE THE. FOURTH, KING AND MARTYR.-118 chastised his body with fastings, hair-cloth, and scourges. " ST. FRANctscA.—She continually strove to subjugate her body by watchings, fastings, hair-cloth, an iron girdle, and frequent scourgings. " ST. ROSA, OF LlMA.—Having assumed the habit of the tertian order of St. Dominick, she doubled the former auste rities of her life; she interwove small needles in an oblong and very rough hair-cloth ; she wore by day and by night, under her veil, a crown armed with numerous little sharp points. Treading in the arduous footsteps of St. Catherine, she bound her loins with an iron chain thrice wound round her ; she made for herself a bed of knotty pieces of wood, and she filled the open seams with fragments of earthen ves sels ; she constructed for herself a very narrow cell in an ex treme corner of the garden, where, abandoned to heavenly contemplation, she fearlessly overthrew and subdued, victori ous in manifold contests, the spirits of devils, extenuating her body with frequent discipline, with abstinence, and with watchings, but nourished by the Spirit." Obviously we have no choice but to believe one of two things—either that " the senior priest of St. " Augustine's Chapel in Manchester" had " no distinct recollection" of the Roman Breviary ;—that is, of the Common Prayer Book of his own Church ; or else—that he swore falsely ! WHAT MAKES WEST INDIA SUGAR SO DEAR ? (From the Colonial Gazette.) An able writer in the Anti-Slavery Reporter would save himself a vast deal of trouble by taking that of mastering one or two of the first principles of political economy. His object is to show that " the great experiment " has failed thus far, because the present enormous price of West India sugar in the British market is owing, not to any increase in the cost of production, but entirely to a change in the proportion be tween the demand and the supply. His argument, which we have not space to restate at any length, is briefly as follows : The labour of freemen is cheaper, or more productive in proportion to its cost, than that of slaves. The West India planter, therefore, produces sugar at less cost than hereto fore, and could afford to sell cheaper than in the time of sla very. But he has a monopoly of the British market ; and the supply having become less or the demand greater—is able to exact a price as much exceeding the cost of production as the demand exceeds the supply. His profit must be very great. This great profit must encourage production ; and in time the price will fall to the remunerating point, when the success of emancipation will be obvious to all. The best way to bring down the price will be to admit sugar, the produce of free labour in the East Indies or elsewhere, to an equal competition with West India sugar in the British market. This writer, to have been consistent, should have further proposed the admission of slave-grown sugar on equal terms with that produced by free labour. If the cost of production is less in the West Indies than in Brazil or Cuba, what me thod so effectual of showing the utility of emancipation as an equal competition between free-labour sugar and slave-labour sugar, in which the former would drive the latter out of the market ? But no ; the abolitionists here are as little disposed as the planters of the West Indies to admit slave-grown sugar to the British market. And why ? They can have no other reason than a fear lest the produce of slave-labour should prove the cheaper of the two, and all their prophecies of " the great experiment" be signally falsified. This is the incon sistency of the writer in question. He has no confidence in the soundness of his argument. Arid indeed its intrinsic fallacy will be made plain by a very slight examinaiton. We will admit, not merely for argument's sake, but be cause we sincerely believe it, that the hired labour of free men costs less. man for man, than that of slaves—that, all things considered, the cost of production is less when the la bourers are free and paid for their work, than when they are enslaved and flogged to make them work. But now, in order to illustrate the subject by an extreme case, let us imagine a country in which the head of every family is a proprietor of land working by himself on his own account. In that case the superior productiveness of hired labour would be an idle abstraction, since there would be no labour for hire. This is more or less the actual case of every country in which land is extremely cheap. The scarcity of labour for hire prevents the combination of many hands in each employment, and also the division of employments ; so that, the productiveness of labour being at the minimum, there is little or no surplus produce over what maintains each separate family. Such is, though in various degrees, the condition of every one of our West India colonies. Labour for hire, whether cheap or dear, is extremely scarce; the only present means of production, whatever the cost, is insufficient to produce the old quantity of sugar; and therefore, the demand being the same in a monopolized market, the price becomes exorbitant. The cheapness or dearness of la bour for hire has nothing to do with the question : it is a case of diminished supply by reason of the difficulty of hiring labour at any price. This view of the subject agrees with the facts, which that of the Anti-Slavery Reporter does not. He cannot deny that the supply has decreased, notwithstanding cheaper production, which should have inevitably occasioned an increase of produce. And in order to reconcile this de crease with the greater cheapne of prOduction, he is obliged to suppose, what is wholly contrary to the truth, that the struggling planters of the West Indies are making enormous profits. We must repeat, therefore, that whatever the cost of production, the industry of the West Indies cannot at pre sent compete on equal terms with that of slave countries : The planters still raise sugar because their monopoly of the British market enables them to obtain a remunerating price notwithstanding the scarcity at any cost of labour for hire : no bounty, no sugar. When will the abolitionists condescend to inquire into the influence of the price of land on the pro ductiveness of industry ? THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—It is quite true that the excel lent Queen Adelaide has deci ded to become for some time ; resident in Derbyshire. Sudbury Hall is certainly taken for her majesty's occupancy, and her majesty will enter upon her tenure on the 15th of September next. Workmen are busily employed on the premises, and orders to various manufac turers and tradesmen in the country are already given. The china will be supplied from the celebrated manufactory at Derby. Sudbury Hall is the property of Lord Vernon, and was built about the 17th century. The building is of red brick, intermixed with those of a darker colour, and, though not large, is well proportioned, and has two small wings. A good gallery runs through the house.—Chesterfield Courier. STEAM FIRE-SNIPS (From the Inventor's Advocate.) 'We trust, it seems, go abroad to find out; the wonderful things which we have been doing at home; therefore, we take from a Brussels paper, the Fanal, the following account of some terrible steam fire-ships which it appears are in readi ness in our ports to launch destruction against any enemy that may appear against Great Britain. The account is stated to have been supplied by an engineer, who is well acquainted with the preparations which we have in reserve for the first maritime warfare. We give it without in the least degree vouching for the correctness of the foreign engineer's state-, ments : " Among the formidable war engines which are preparing at Woolwich, I know of none more terrible than the steam tire-ship, which, like the Infernal, throws a jet of tire as far as the most powerful fire-engines throw a jet of water. These fire-ships have also two conical-shaped tubes ; bound round with hoops like a cask : these cones are attached to the two sides of a plank of fir from 80 to 90 feet long ; on this kind of raft is placed one of those old steam-engines of from six to fifteen horse power which can be purchased in any quantity for the price of old iron! and on the fore part is placed a single Paixhan cannon, loaded to the muzzle. This machine is intended to be launched in the night with all the rapidity it is capable of, against the sides of the enemy's ships. The iron point of the plank will strike into the ship, and the concussion will fire the cannon, which will make an enormons hole below the water mark, which will immediately sink the ship. The peculiarity of these fire-ships is, that if they fail to strike the ship against which they aro directed, they continue their course in a straight line, and a steam-ship may be sent to bring them back; to be launched forth again after having a fresh supply offuel. . _ " A hundred of these machines will be sufficient to destroy a hundred men of war of the ordinary construction, which would be unable to escape from their destructive powers: They do not cost more than from 8000 to 10,000 frs. They are called sea-javeline. You may depend upon it, that mari time warfare will henceforth be completely changed ; that steam will be the great agent now, and that battles will be fought by steam engines. The people who possess the great est number, and who are most ingenious, will possess pre eminence at sea and on land during war, as they now do in time of peace. Is it not a shame that our government do not become aware of the necessity of encouraging mechanical studies nntil they are forced to admit it by the conflagration of their shipping and the destruction of their armies ; and that they do not acknowledge, as they ought to do, that an ingenious mechanical philosopher is of more use to his country than all the orators in the world ?" In another number of the same paper, we find also the fol lowing notice of the Infernal: " There is now fitting out with the greatest secrecy, in the arsenal of Woolwich, a steam-ship which will be alone enabled to set tire to a whole fleet. This ship is rendered completely ball-proof by thick bulwarks of wood. It has no paddle-wheels, but is moved by an Archi medes screw under the water. It is furnished with four high pressure boilers filled with a wildfire composition, consisting of naphtha, tar, grease, &c., intended to be thrown by power ful force pumps through red hot tubes. This mixture, thus heated as it is poured out, will inflame in the air, and fall like a rain of extinguishable fire on the sails, the rigging, and men of the enemy's ships. When becalmed, an entire fleet might be destroyed in less than half an hour by the hifernal. All maritime warfare will, henceforth, be conducted by steam ships, and by means of the terrible engines which science has invented during the last twenty-five years. The ordinary line, of battle ships will only be of use as floating magazines to convey coals and combustibles ; they will be the store ships of the steam-boats, and nothing more." The poor-law guardians of Cork have resolved to admit the press, in spite of the commisioners. Fanny Eisler is so satisfied with her reception among the Americans that she has determined to break all European engagements for a year at least, in which period she will have received upwards of £lO,OOO. NOT IN HASTE.—A clergyman in the north, very homely in his address, chose for his text a passage in the Psalms, "I said in my haste, all men are liars." " Ay," premised his reverence, by way of introduction, " ye said it in your haste, David, did ye ?—gin ye had been here, ye micht hae said it at your leisure, my mon." A correspondent of the Essex Herald suggests that a se curity for travellers on railways night be contrived by an act of Parliament, compelling two of the directors in rotation to go with every train, seats being provided exclusively for them immediately behind the engine. A traveller stopped at an inn to breakfast, and having drank a cup of what was given him, the servant asked, what will you have, tea or coffee ? To which the traveller an swered, " That depends upon circumstances. If what you gave was tea, I want coffee. If it was coffee, I want tea. I want a change." A labouring man, named Hunter, residing at Folkstone, who had been long notorious in the neighbourhood for hand ling vipers and snakes, and even caressing them with impu nity, met with the consequences of his dangerous ostenta tion on Friday, having been bitten to death by a viper. He expired in two hours from the time of receiving the bite. GANNAL'S PROCESS FOR EMBALMING.-2.68 lb. troy of dry sulphate of alumina are dissolved in 88 (or rather more than three-quarters of a pint) of hot water. Five or six pints of a solution made after these proportions are to be injected into all the vessels of the body to be embalmed. To prevent the attack of insects, it is proper to add 15'43 grains of chloride of copper to every 2 . 68 lbs. troy of sulphate of alumina, or 7714 grains of arsenic. Hors.—We can report scarcely any change in the hops since our last. The warm weather has certainly improved those which were previously doing well. There is one ground in the parish of Blean, which is calculated to produce from 12 to 15 cwt. per acre. In a planter's grounds which produced last year several tons of hops, there will barely be as many hundred weight picked. The duty may be quoted at £30,000. —Kentish Gazette. STEAM NAVIGATION IN AUSTRALIA.—The steam-ship " Sea-Horse," of 250-horse power, sailed from Gravesend on Thursday morning for Sydney. This vessel is intended to ply between the various ports in the Australian Colonies, for which purpose, from her build and great power, she is eminently qualified. The Sea-Horse is admitted to be one of the finest steam-ships which has been seen in the port of London, and is valued at upwards of £30,000. Her cabins and saloon were full of passengers, and she takes out, a valu able cargo. LIABILITY OF LODGERS TO SERVE ON CORONERS' Junizs.—At an inquest held on Friday last, before Mr. Wak ley, M.P., in the parish of Marylebone, a person claimed ex emption to serve on the jury on the ground that he was a lodger. Mr. Wakley said the claim must be allowed. Ano ther person—l too, sir, am only a lodger. Mr. Wakley— to what extent? Claimant—l occupy the lower part of a house. Mr. Wakley—Do you pay rent for your lodgings to the amount of XlO ? Claimant -1 do. Mr. Wakley—That gives you a right to vote for members of parliament, and the reform act having given you that power, has virtually made you a housekeeper. You must serve. CAPTURE OF A SEA MONSTER,--The inhabitants living in the vicinity of the Old Quay at Lancaster, were thrown into an unwonted state of activity . and excitement, early on Sunday morning last, by the vagaries of a large sea monster, which was jumping about and spoutinglarge jets of water in the river Lune, a little below the Old Bridge. As soon as it got sufficiently light, all who could lay their hands on a gun were firing away as fast as they could get reloaded, and the owners of boats, armed with harpoons, lances, and scythes, were lying in wait for him in all directions, to give him a warm reception as soon as he should show himself above wa ter. After about three hours hunting, he was shot in the head by a marksman stationed on the Old Bridge, when he immediately spouted a large jet of blood, and a man being near at the same time in a boat, struck him with a harpoon, and after some little further trouble he was landed, and proved to be a large specimen of the Delphinus Tertio, mea suring about 124 ft. in length. and weighing 15 cwt., a fish whose appearance in our latitude, is a thing of very rare oc currence ; indeed we learn from gentlemen deeply read in natural history, that there are only some four or five instances on record of this fish having been seen in England, two of which have been taken near Lancaster, the one under notice, and another some years ago in Morecambe bay. The captors exhibited the fish at Lancaster on Sunday, and on Monday it was shown here, at the Fleece Inn, St. John-street. From the appearance of its teeth, which were evidently much worn, and from the fact of several being gone, it is not unreasonable to infer that the specimen was an old one—the fish was one of the male kind. After the exhibition closed here, the fish was disposed of for the sum of .£7 or guineas, to some York shiremen, who intended first to astonish the Manchester folks with the sight of it, and afterwards to make use of it for the production of oil ; what quantity it might possibly yield, was quite a matter of uncertainty ; we are therefore unable to inform our readers whether the speculation was a lucky one or not.—Preston Pilot. throw t in Warrctigton on their way. Two bundles contained their little all. In the younger boy's pocket was found, neatly covered, and carefully preserved, a Bible. The keeper of the lodging-house, addressing the little boy, said, " You have neither money nor meat; will you sell me this Bible ? I will give you five shillings for it." " No," ex claimed he (the tears rolling down his youthful cheeks), " I'll starve first." To try him still further, six shilling s were offered him for the Bible. " No," said he, " for it has been my support all the way from London. Hungry and weary, often have I sat down by the way side to re a d my Bi ble, and have found refreshment from it. He then asked, " what get to Liverpool, should your uncle The reply may excite a blush in " My Bible tells me," said he, i my father and mother forsake me, the Lord w ill take " The next morning these refreshed little wanderers rose early, dressed themselves, and sat out for the town of Liverpool.—Preston Pilot. ou do when you many young Christians GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY The following are the Times of Departure from Lime-street Liverpool, and from Liverpool-road, Manchester : TIMES QF DEPARTURE FROM LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER TO BIRMINGHAM, 3 30 a.m. First Class, joins London Train at 8 30 a.m. 6 a.m. Mixed PP ft 12 8 15 a.m. First Class IP PP 1 15 p.m. 10 30 a.m. First Class PP If 4 p.m. 12 15 p.m. First Class 91 PP 6 p.m. 4 p.m. Mixed 7 p.m. First Class „ 12 FROM BIRMINGHAM TO LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER 2 15 a.m. First Class—Meets N.

In consequence, however, of the firmness of the Importers, and the disinclination evinced on the part of the Trade to buy, excepting at very low rates, scarcely any thing was done but in Caracca, which all sold at an average of about 3s Sid for Cortes ; of Bengal, 26 chests sold at 4s 7d to 4s Ild. and one lot 5s 8d; 4 chests Oude at as 5d to 3s lid ; 14 chests Manilla at 3s 6d to 4s 6d, and a few chests Madras at 3s 5d to 3s Ild per lb ; a half dozen chests Bombay Fig have since sold at 2s per lb ; upon the whole, what sold realized higher rates than were previously obtainable. 55 cheats East India Gum Arabic sold at 45s to 495, 28 chests Shell Lac at 6ss to 70s, 10 chests Lac Dye at 9id to Is 10d, and a small lot of Munjeet a 15s.

A further import of Seal Oil (mostly coloured) having been received by two vess_ek from Newfoundland, about 60 tons of different sorts have been sold at £3l 58 to £3l 105 for pale, to £29 for straw, and .t'26 for brown ; a parcel of Cod, to arrive, has also been taken at £24 let; per tun.

The prevailing feeling in the trade, is that the currency will be still higher. The Cork coopers having struck work for an increase of wages, we experience a temporary scarcity of pickled Butter. Holders of consignments are generally limited to gi4s ; and some there are, which look for 965. There appearS to be very little doing in Beef and Pork. A little of the former of tints season's cure has ar rived, for which 61b per tierce is asked. We, however, think there will be more safety in purchasing last season's Beef for some time to come, as we cannot but have apprehensions for an article cured so early. Bacon sells very freely at 57s to 58s for Belfast, and looking up. LIVERPOOL PR 8. d. 8 io 0 —0 ICES CURRENT MADDER, 13 eta ! Dutch, crop.... Ashes Montreal, Pot 26 0 0 0 Pearl, new 3O 0 0 0 U.

During the last seven days we have had very trivial arrivals of all descriptions of British Grain, as well as of Flour and Otmeal ; and the week's imports. from abroad do not exceed 4,100 quarters of Wheat, 7,700 barrels of Flour from the United States, with 2,00 barrels from Canada. From the 29th ult. to the 2d instant inclusive, duties were paid upon 1,720 garters of Wheat, 465 quarters of Oats, 2,536 quarters of Peas, and 1,330 barrels of Flour. Yesterday the rate of impost on Wheat was reduced to 2s Bd, on Oats to is pd per quarter, and on Flour to Is 71d per barrel, at which the stocks of each in bond will be released, and may, therefore, be considered on the free market. In anticipation of this holders of Foreign Wheat and Flour, in bond, were on Tuesday, offering their samples at 6d a bushel and 2s per barrel below previous rates, free, for de livery on or after Friday, but the dealers showed no inclination to purchase to any extent. The trade continued languid until yester day, when a moderately fair business was transacted, both in Wheat . and Flour, at the above-stated reduction from the quotations of this day week. Oats and Oatmeal have met a vey limited demand. and are fully 2d per bushel and 3s per load cheaper: 305 per 2401bs is now an extreme for Irish old Oatmeal, 3s gd per 451bs for Oats. A few Irish new Oats have appeared, the quality very good, and have sold at 3s led to 45 per 451bs, and two or three small parcels of new Oatmeal at 38s per load. Barley has been little inquired for, and must be quoted 3d to 4d per bushel lower. Beaus and Peas without alteration. LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, ►SEPT. 4 PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. W. Eccles, J.
