pottrp. ELEGIAC STANZAS, SOGGESTED ON THE DEATH OF AN AFFECTIONATE WIFE AND FOND MOTHER. INSCRIBED TO THE REV. GEO. IzAssiinow (For the Liverpool Standard.) Amidst the sombre shades of the dead A mother lies consigned to her mouldering clay ; The winds blow round her lowly bed, And dews their freshing tribute pay : But o'er it beams that brightest star, The memory of departed years, And claims a tribute holier far— A husband's sighs and children's tears. Light let us tread : a mother lies Repairing, 'neath this hallow'd spot; The flow'ry hillock canopies The ashes of her mortal lot : And when no more 't will deck her tomb, And all be undistinguished earth, Shall memory bid those feelings bloom To which a mother's love gave birth. The morning dawns with lingering pace— The still abode of death I leave ; And fondly would my heart embrace The d' eamless slumbers of the grave. Farewell! thou flow'ry hillock, where Affection and a mother lie : My weary heart but longs to share Her upright love through 'ternity. There is bliss, there is bliss in the regions above — They have opened the gates of the sky ; Her spirit bath soared to those mansions of love, And seeks for admittance on high. Children and friends long divided are hast'ning to greet, To a land where no sorrow can come ; And the seraphs are eager a sister to meet, And to welcome the Christian mother to her long-wished-for home. Liverpool, Nov , 1840. H. M. HANSBROW. MY MOTHER'S GRAVE. (For the Liverpool Standard) Is there one spot, in Nature's wide domain, To which my soul with ceaseless love would cling ; Which could, with sweet omnipotence, enchain Those thoughts that else would ply their restless wing ? Oh, 'tis my mother's grave, which, mournful, now I sing. Yes! 'twas the magnet of my childish dads ; For oft, pith pow'r resistless, it would draw Zly youthful mind from pleasure's thousand ways, To linger, with affection: where I saw Her list, lone resting-place ; and how'd to Nature's law. Thoughts of the past upon my soul would steal, And carry me to moments flown away ; When, at her side, so proudly I would kneel, Catch from her eye affection's suftest ray, And watch those parent-smiles that on her face would play. Thus ponder'd I, as sadly I would gaze On the green sod which rose above her head ; When I racall'd the joys of other days, I wept the tears of anguish o'er the dead, Whom now I lov'd the most, when she, alas! was fled. Yet, how I prized the spot from whence arose These madd'ning thoughts, that tore my breast with pain! It was the sacred place of her repose, And by her side her child could still remain : There I could wish her back, though doomed to wish in vain. The love that drew my tender childhood there — Beside that grave that made me fondly stay— That whisper'd stories of a mother's care, The care that wiped my infant tears away— That love within my breast maintainsits potent sway. No place so fair to me—no place so dear, Though gaily decked with beauty's charms it be— Though Nature in her lavel'est form appear, Tinged with the brightest colours earth can see— My mother's lowly grave is dearer far to me. When Death shall bear my ling'ring breath away, Obed'ent to His will whose mercy gave ; When Nature's fabric yields to sure decay, And slowly sinks beneath life's stormy wave, Oh, may my dust repose within my Mother's Grave ! Liverpool, Nov. sth, 1840. J. M. L. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. (From the Lancaster Gazette.) What will the ministerial people say now? Their last hope in England—the municipal reform claptrap— is taken from them. Never was anything more deci sive than the result of the struggle on Monday last. A glance at the return will show that in every direc tion the good cause has triumphed. Amongst other boroughs which on this occasion have vindicated their loyalty and sound constitutional principles, the good old town in which we live has not been the last. In Lancaster we have gained four seats out of six, and on a division at the council board we shall be found to stand pretty near equal. When we call to mind how exclusively radical was the constitution of the council at the first, and for some time after, and reflect upon the almost hopeless state of things at that period, we cannot but feel truly gratified with our present posi tion. There is, however, nothing in it to astonish anybody. The evil was sure to find its own remedy in time. But mind, when we do say that, we must not be supposed to subscribe to the doctrine that, therefore, the conservative party had nothing to do but fold their arms and look on. Quite the contrary. In conservative exertion alone can the remedy be found. True enough that general disgust must, in the order of things, spring out of such exhibitions as " municipal reform" has given rise to in this and other boroughs, but conservative influence is the instrument through which the popular indignation is to make itself felt as well as known. It was nonsense, mischievous non- Bence, for conservatives to turn up their noses and talk of the thing as beneath their notice, and as a nuisance which, left alone, would cure itself. If, for instance, in this town the system had been left to work its own way, the entire council board would in time have been occupied by the sort of persons whom ail friends to order and the respectability of the town desire to see kept out of it. That was only to be prevented by the interferance of the conservative party. The respecta ble portion of the radical party—the men who aspire to the genteel, and sigh to escape the queer company into which their unfortunate destiny has cast them — these few persons have no power of themselves to keep out the canaille, and in that case the duty of the con servatives is obvious. It is for them to come forth in the strength of their commanding influence and save the town from the disgrace that impends. They have done, on this occasion, and by their exertions the evil is to a great extent corrected. WHiG CORPORATION REFORM. (From the Times.) Of all the practical blunders ever committed by the Melbourne ministry, probably that which has been the most fatal to their own interests was the bill for reform ing he English corporations. We do not mean to discuss its intrinsic merits, irrespective of its hearing on party politics. It is not thus that the Whigs look at such questions. The corporation reform bill was brought forward by then, just after their repossession of poser, in 1835, declaredle as a scheme for regaining twine of their lost popularity, and at the same time for increasing their " borough interest." It was no sooner passed and brought into operation, than the treasury journals openly boasted that it would gain them 40 votes at the very next election. That election, when it came, speedily dissipated these hopes ; but it is only now atter the lapse of five years, that we are beginning thoroughly to understand the extent of folly exhibited by the whigs in bringing forward that measure, as a political manoeuvre, intended to strengthen their own interest. The elections for the present year have just taken place, and never was there a more total rout than that which has been the lot of the whigs and whig-radicals in every part of the kingdom. Whether we value the corporations themselves at much or little, no one can doubt the importances of such an annual encounter of parties as this, even were it merely to afford to states men of every class an opportunity of judging of the state and progress of public opinion. Even within these few days have the ministerial journals ventured to coun terfeit a degree of the most blissful ignorance as to the odour in which their masters were held by the people generally. But after the transactions of this week, to assume the existence of the least doubt upon the sub ject will exhibit an amount of effrontery which we are hardly warranted in anticipating, even among the lackies of Downing-street itself. These municipal elections, be it remembered, are be yond all questions the most popular appeals that are ever made to any English constituency. They are not confined to the £lO householders, like the parliamentary elections, nor yet to the freemen of the boroughs —still less to £5O tenants or freeholders, as in the counties. They rest upon household suffrage—the very point which some of our ultra-reformers are now proposing as an improvement on the franchise conferred by the Reform Bill. And what has been the response just given by this large and unexclusive body of electors in a series of contesls which, in every part of the island, as the ministerial journals themselves confess, have con stantly resolved themselves into a choice between " tones " or conservatives, and " liberals," alias mini sterialists or Whig-radicals ? The answer is of this kind :—ln Manchester and Bir mingham the conservatives contest the validity of the charters, and consequently refuse to interfere in the elections. But with these two exceptions, and perhaps one or two others in which the conservatives have made no exertions, every town in England of the first class, and almost every one of the second and third classes, has given a verdict of reprobation of the ministerial ad herents. Even a moment's recollection, without look ing to the reports, recalls to mind Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, York, Exeter, Oxford, Cambridge, Ipswich, Bath, Macclesf?eld, Stockport, Wigan, Colchester, Maidstone, Hertford, Bury, Boston, Bedford, Preston, Bridgewater, Windsor, Totnes, Walsall, Shrewsbury, Southampton, Weymouth, Warwick, besides a variety of smaller ones. Constantly, as we have already said, the respective candidates have been opposed to each other on political grounds, as " liberal,' or " conser tive," and it is abundantly clear that the victory re• mains, in a great majority of cases, with the latter. But we have said that the institution of these annual ; contests, be they wholesome or un,olesome, A r m , a most unwise step on the part of the whigs, with respect to their bearing on the interests of that party, and'yet we all know, that if it had not been for the hope that it would serve those interests, we should never have seen a line of the Municipal Reform Bill. The error appears to have been of the following kind organised, and drew up, and banded together, , in , -bOiparray, the two great parties, " liberal and • .• 1 ~ • • •- - .. 1 t. ..•_ ZI t4:l iii, :'' • - A ...., J r. ; .',.." '2 " conservative," in every borough town, and kept them thus embodied and opposed in constantly recurring warfare. Now, this is a state of things which must prove, in the long run, the ruin of the " liberal " party, simply because it wants the main elements of patient, and persevering, and continuous exertion. Consider for a moment the two parties in any great town. The conservatives, where are they to be found ? Do they not embrace the far larger proportion of the higher ranks of the middle classes, including nearly all the active virtue and benevolence of the community ? Of the most self-denying and resolute of all classes—the sincerely religious—must we not seek more than nine tenths among the conservative party ? And can it be that these things should fail to exert an influence, growing, as we now see it, year by year, over the judg ment and choice of the respective constituencies ? But turn to the opposing ranks ; and what a motley assemblage do we behold ! We should not be pre pared to deny the existence of some men of piety among the " liberal " party; but the few of this class who are found in that array are generally dissenters, whose re ligion is sadly beclouded by factious hatred to the church. Nor shall, we say that no men of education or respectability are seen ; but these are generally the " moderate Whigs "of the party, suspected by their confederates, and ill at ease in their own consciences. Allowing for these two classes, which can scarcely ever reach, alone, a muster roll of a score of votes, of what sort of people is the " liberal party " in a borough town generally composed ? Is it not in most cases a counterpart of the band which met in the cave of Adullum, to which " every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves together ? " And is not this aggregation of all manner of unclean things a circumstance of itself tending powerfully to the con firming and strengthening of the conservative party ? On the whole, then, we have every reason to be both amused and satisfied with this singular blunder of " the clap-trap administration." As to the graver question, of whether the new corporations, in themselves, are likely to prove beneficial to the inhabitants of these towns, or otherwise—is a matter the decision of which must necessarily be postponed until honest and respect able men shall have had a sufficient trial of the work ing of the whole system. DUTIES ON MAHOGANY AND FIR PLANKS. (From the London Journal s of Commerce.) • - A Liverpool correspondent reminds us that the anticipa tions we expressed in the early part of the year, that the then current session of the parliament would not elapse without the duties on timber imported from Sierra Leone and the British settlements at Honduras being equalised, has not been fulfilled. While we regret we cannot contradict our correspondent, we must express an opinion that some pro gress towards an assimilation has been made. The facts stated in the memorials from the shipwrights and timber merchants of Liverpool, Bristol, and the Clyde, presented in July last to the Board of Trade, urging the necessity of such a measure, have rendered it imperative on Mr. Labop chere to take up the subject early in the ensuing session. For ourselves, we are utterly at a loss to discover on what principle a continuance of the differential duties on Sierra Leone Teakwood and Honduras Mahogany can be justified—. why the good and essentially useful timber of our American should be longer subjected to nearly 300 per cent. duty over that of the inferior wood of our African settlement. It is surely both just and expedient that the woods of two pro vinces standing in the like relation to Great Britain, should be admitted to consumption through the assimilated scale of duty. If, indeed, any differential duty ought to be tolerated, Honduras has better claims to the advantage than Sierra Leone. By far the greater proportion of the Teak exported from the latter is not procured in the colony, though cleared at its Custouthouse ; and every ten logs, it has been calcu lated, imported into this country from that charnel-home costs one seaman's life. The Mahogany exported from Belize is, if not actually grown in a British settlement, (for of late years the exportation of mahogany has been extended to that cut on the whole extent of the Mosquito shore ; and, we believe, the liberty of clearing at the various ports, as far as Touxills, has also been granted) is cut by the British en terprise, and paid for with British capital and merchandize. Besides, Honduras is comparatively a salubrious climate, stands in such an admirable position that, as regards British commerce, it may be termed the toll-gate of Central Ame rica, and presents an inexhaustible supply of wood. The one province, after being bblstered up for thirty years, at the expense of £1,670,000, is for all useful purposes a complete failure ; on the other province, neglected and despised by government, we are dependent for the supply of an indispen sable article. The introduction of Teak into certain parts of ships, which were to be classified as entitled to remain on the first letter for twelve years, was, until lately, indispensable. The uncertainty of the supply of Teak—(in July last there was not a single log in the hands of the Liverpool importers)— frequently rendered the shipwrights unable to complete the vessels in progress of construction. Experiments, however, having proved that the heaviness of Teak and the lightness of Cedar were objections to which Mahogany is not liable ; that it expanded less from saturation, and shrank less from heat than any other wood, and that it was naturally com pletely exempt from dry rot, by a late regulation of Lloyd's Mahogany has been admitted to the classification as the best description of Teak, and in consequence has been extensively used by many shipwrights. The high rate of duty has, however, operated to its prejudice, and limited its consump tion for naval purposes. A reduction of £1 per ton on Hon duras Mahogany is therefore sought as an object of vital importance to our commercial navy. This reduction would nearly assimilate the duty to that on African Teak, and bring it to the same scale as that on Cuba and Mobile Cedar, both of which foreign woods are subject to only 10s. per ton duty. In our opinion, the reduction sought is too moderate ; why should not colonial and foreign timber used in ship-building be admitted on the same terms as that for church-building— free of all duty ; or, at all events, why should not ships be built of materials in bond ? France not only admits foreign timber duty free, for ship-buildin g purposes, but has, by a late enactment—objectionable and absurd, doubtless, but indicative of the encouragement given to its marine—has imposed an export duty of tenpence per foot on native tim ber, which is equivalent to a prohibition. The manufacturing as well as the shipping interest ate in terested in the reduction of the duty on Honduras Mahogany, as that wood is indispensable for making those large and valuable machines to which we owe so much of our manu• factoring pre-eminence' But, in fact, the whole scale of duties on Mahogany re quires immediate revision and reduction. There are three duties on Mahogany; upon Mahogany from Honduras, 30s ; from other British possessions, £4 ; and from foreign coun tries, £5 per ton. The effect of these duties has been totally to destroy a large portion of the business of the cabinet maker of this country—the export of furniture. Formerly, Great Britain had a most extensive import of furniture to its colonies, South America and India ; now it has a considera ble import, and many of our modern houses are adorned with Hamburgh furniture, for the sale of which there are large establishments in Birmingham. Now, for this revul sion we have not the poor and ordinary excuses of protection to our colonies, or increase to our revenue, because the qua lities of Honduras, Jamaica, Cuba, and St. Domingo Maho gany are so different and distinct, that they can scarcely be said to interfere with each other ; the Mahogany of the British possessions cannot for an instant be compared with that of Cuba or St. Domingo. The high duties on foreign does not increase the consumption of our colonial Mahogany, for from it the better description of furniture cannot be made, and the duty defeats its purpose, as regards revenue, by limiting the consumption of the article on which it is levied. The total loss of our export furniture trade, and the injury inflicted on our home trade, are solely caused by the duties on foreign Mahogany. Cuba and St. Domingo Maho gany is imported into Hamburgh comparatively untaxed, is there manufactured, and is actually admitted into this country in the shape of foreign furniture, on payment of duty less in proportion than the English cabinet-maker has to pay for the log or curl in its uncut state! Formerly it was the practice to carry Mahogany from Cuba and St. Domingo to one of our colonies, and land it there and bring it to England in the same way as Coffee is brought through the Cape of Good Hope from foreign countries, and Spice from the Moluccas through Penang ; this the late President of the Board of Trade, Lord Sydenham, effectually pre vented. It is, we trust, the intention of the present Presi dent to remedy all the evils of this subject. This he may the more readily do, as the revenue to be affected by any change is altogether unworthy of consideration in comparison to the manifest advantages. Without entering into the general question of the Timber duties, we may here call public attention to the injurious effect of the working of the present Customs scale of duty in another particular. The duty for the fir log is 55s per load ; now the duty on planks admits a load of fir timber in that form at two-thirds the rate required on the log. " Thus," writes the intelligent correspondent who has drawn our attention to the absurdity, " the Prussian merchant, by merely running three cuts up his long logs. has actually remitted to him in duty a bonus of 50 per cent. for shipping his manufactured, instead of what may be termed his raw material, facilitating thereby its transport (and that, too, always in his own ship), making it, without further labour, at once suitable for the British joiner to use. While the principle for the regulation of the duties on tim ber—when not cut into plank, bet imported in the form of log—is decidedly protective as regards colonial, and prohi bitory in regard of Baltic, still we have been good customers to the Prussian for his manufactured wood ; and now on the Liverpool quay the anomaly may he witnessed of the house builder having to pay for the load of Dantsic middling square timber £5 12s 6d, against £4 15s 3d per load for the first quality of well manufactured plank, adapted through the foreign mill, free from all defect and refuse. Three or four mills in Manchester and Liverpool suffice for what remains to be manufactured on all the foreign woods imported and consumed in this quarter, because of the premium , granted to the importer of the already made planks abroad.' STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—The state of our woollen market presents no new feature calling for particular remark. A steady trade is do ing for domestic consumption, but, as usual at this season, the demand for export has begun to decline. There is, how ever, a fair prospect, especially when viewed in relation to the smallness of the existing stocks of balk goods, of an ave rage employment for our workpeople during the winter. BRADFORD MARKET. — We had a small attendance of buy ers at our market on Thursday, and the business done in the Piece-hall was not so extensive as of late, but prices were fully maintained. There was a pretty good demand for yarn, at previous rates. The wool market was rather dull, but prices suffered no decline. HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET HALL. — There has been a decline in the demand for goods during the present week, and prices are not quite so firm as they have been. LANCASHIRE.—Th e woollen cloth trade at Saddleworth is rather better than it was a month ago, and cheering prospects have been received from America. Operatives have full em ployment, and manufacturers have but few goods on hand. The cotton trade of Oldham has improved a little within the last few weeks, and operatives seem to be rather better em ployed ; yet there are many without work. The lasting trade, both here and at Denton, is rather dull, but not more so than is usual at this season of the year. The trade in cotton mills at Heywood and Bury is improving a little : the machinery in most of the factories is working full time. The flannel trade of Rochdale is in a moderately healthy state, and the cotton trade generally is rather better in other towns than it was The silk trade conti nues to i mprove, and the operative a month g a pr o iriters at six print shops, within a few miles of Manchester, have this week, for the . first . time, commenced printing h're which • is at Chthero, have intuhepotnrasdielkinwaLrapnse.asT.hi e operatives the largest print shopcerffemiesnmceoddeprraitnetliynghruips k on .

The Times of Friday publishes the substance of intelli gence, received by extraordinary express from Marseilles, contained in Turkish, Egyptian, and Malta journals and correspondence, brought by the Fulton French steamer, which left Beyrout on the 12th, Alexandria on the 19th, and Malta on the 27th ult. From these we learn that on the 10th October an engage ment took place between the allied troops and those of Ibrahim and Soliman Pasha, iu which the latter were com pletely defeated, and took to the mountains with 200 cavalry only and two officers. 7,000 in killed, wounded, and pri soners, have, from the result of this engagement, fallen into the power of the Sublime Porte. Another account states that Ibrahim had taken up a very strong position near Bey rout with 3,000 men. 4,000 Turks were sent against him under the command of Selim Pasha, assisted by General Jockmus, Commodore Napier, and Colonel Hodges. The attack was so impetuous, that, in a few minutes, Ibrahim was completely routed. One thousand Egyptians were made prisoners, and the rest were killed and wounded or took to flight. Another dispatch says—" We are in pos session of Beyrout, which was evacuated on the night of the 10th, in consequence of disposition manifested by Admiral Stopford and Bandiera to land troops. In order that nobody should be left, the sick were beaten out with sticks by their countrymen. About 2,000 in all, who remained outside the walls, re-entered the next morning, and surrendered them selves prisoners. General Smith has fixed his head-quarters at Beyrout." By the taking of Beyrout about 20 pieces of artillery, with ammunition and provisions, have fallen into the possession of the allied powers. Admirals Stopford, Bandeira, and Walker, were at Bey rout on the 12th instant, with five British and one Turkish ship of the line, and an Austrian frigate. All the north of Mount Lebanon, with the exception of Tripoli, is in the power of the allies and the mountaineers. The Emir Bechir, who had been for some time in communi cation with the allies, concluded a convention on the sth ult. with the Seraskier Isset Pasha and Admiral Stopford. The Prince of the Druses required that his life and property should be secured to him, and in return he engaged to serve his mas ter the sultan with fidelity. On the Sth tilt, be sent his two sons as hostages, until he could arrive himself, from which he was then prevented by the presence of Ibrahim Pasha. On the 11th instant, the Emir Bechir arrived at Sidon, and on the information being given to Admiral Stopford, he, on the 12th, sent two steamers to receive him, in which he embarked, and thus has finally carried his promise into execution. The Emir el Kasim has been named successor to the Emir Bechir, and was, with a large body of mountaineers, in pur suit of Ibrahim Pasha, who has little or no chance f escape. The camp at Djuni Bay is broken up. The only vessels now remaining there are Vice-Admiral Walker's and the two Turkish frigates, one of which, with 800 prisoners on board, is to be sent immediately to Constantinople. Commodore Napier, in the Powerful, with the steamers Gorgon and Cyclops, have quitted Djuni Bay to attack Tripoli. Reports of deserters from the fortress of Acre announce the impossibility of its being able to hold out, in consequence of the continual desertions, and of its present enfeebled state, Captain Berkeley, of the Thunderer, commands at Sidon, which is so well fortified as to defy the attacks of 15,000 men. The Archduke Frederick is also there. The Turkish troops have given proofs of their courage. The Tahiri Bahiri, Ottoman government steamer, having on beard the standard of Ibrahim Pasha, taken in the action with him on the 10th, Colonel Hodges (who took part in that affair), and 120 Egyptian officers, arrived at Constantinople on the 18th instant. A letter from that city, of that date, says :—" The porte, however, goes on sending away for Syria troops as - fast as possible. 5,000 more have already gone, and at this instant three squadrons of dismounted cavalry and a regiment of infantry are ready to embark in sailing ves sels the moment the wind, which is contrary, comes round," The Malta Times (Supplement) of Oct. 27, states, 'that "the Great Liverpool, steamer, arrived at Alexandria on the 18th instant. Her despatches and letters were taken into port by a French corvette, and she remained outside. There appears a hope that she will bring the India mail, but, in that case, it will most probably be the last. The Fulton proceeds to-day to Toulon. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY. The works of the fortifications of Paris are going on very slowly, according to the Commerce, which observes : " There are not now employed upon them more than 1,200 or 1,500 men, civil and military." Extract of a letter from St. Helena, dated Sept. 19 : " An American barque, Jane, lying in these roads, was taken possession of by H. M. sloop Dolphin, and sent away (not known where). The captain and supercargo were not al lowed to go on board of her." The Toulonnais states, that the English are making great preparations for putting Gibraltar in a state of complete security against a coup de main, in the event of a war break ing• out between France and the combined Powers. The garrison has been considerably augmented. A letter from Constantinople of the 6th October, published in the Austrian Observer, in reference to the defection of Emir Bescbir, says :—" The inhabitants of the mountains were fatigued by his exactions, which were of small profit to Mehemet Ali, because of the 30,000 purses which he levied only a tenth part reached the coffers of the Bey ; the conse quence was that Ibrahim Pacha could only reduce a small part of the taxes levied on the people." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. It is reported that the York and North Midland Railroad directors contemplate leasing the Hull and Selby, as well as the Leeds and Selby Railway.—Hull Packet. SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM RAILWAY.—The passen gers carried on Monday on the railway from Sheffield to Rotherham were 3327 up to the half-past seven o'clock train, and as there would be two or three more trains after that hour, there is no doubt but upwards of 3500 would be carried from Sheffield, exclusive of the North Midland trains, and if the like number was booked from Rotherham, would make a tot•.l of 7000 passengers in one day. The greatest number that has been carried prior to this, on the above railway, in one day, was on the 20th of May, 1830, when 3642 were booked from Sheffield and Brightside, and 3708 from Holmes and Rotherham—total 7350. When this is done in a time of bad trade, what will good trade do in railway travelling ? She ield Iris. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. MANCHESTER AND DOLTON RAILWAY.

This was an action of libel preferred by the plaintiff, a clergyman of the Roman Catholic church, against the defend ant, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, a clergyman of the established church. The cause was tried before Mr. 3aron Rolfe at the last Liverpool assizes, and the alleged libel was a statement made by the defendant at a public meeting at Manchester. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 40s. _ _ Mr. CRESSWELL now moved for a rule nisi to set the ver dict aside on the ground of misdirection. It appeared that in the course of last year, when the estimates were before the House of Commons, a question was raised whether the annual grant to Maynooth College should be continued. The de fendant, who officiated as a clergyman at Manchester, presided at a public meeting, and in the course of a speech, in which he represented that the practices of the Roman Catholic church, not only in the darkness of past times, but even in the light of the present, were quite unworthy of being supported by any grant of the public money to the College of Maynooth, he supported his arguments by reading from a paper, which was signed by three police-officers, a case which had occurred in the streets of Manchester, to the following effect :—" A person had been seen on several mornings crawling on his hands and knees, and when he was asked why he did so, he said he was doing penance for his sins. He was asked whether it was necessary to do it by way of penance ; he replied it was, and that if he did not do penance his priest would not admit him to the sacrament. He was then asked who his priest was, and he said, Mr. Hearne.' " The second count of the declaration charged the uttering the words as a slander, and on that count the verdict passed for the defendant. It was contended on the part of the defend ant that the first count must also be in his favour, as the mere statement of the circumstance at a public meeting could not be construed into the publication of libellous matter. The paper did not reflect on the character of the plaintiff, but merely on the practices of the Roman Catholic church. There was clearly no malice proved, and, therefore, the action could not be sustained. The learned judge, however, was of opinion that the defendant was not justified in making such a statement. In the case of " The King v. Creevy, M.P.," where the defendant had made an alleged libellous speech in the House of Commons, Mr. Justice Le Blanc, who tried the cause, left the jury to say whether such publication was, under all the circumstances of the case, to be considered as malicious. There was no doubt such was the proper course to pursue, and such as the learned baron ought to have adopted on this occasion. His lordship, however, declined to leave the question to the jury whether it was a libel or not, but gave his opinion that it was, and then said (according to the report published in the newspapers, but not the notes of the counsel,) " and, if you agree with me, you will find a verdict for the plaintiff." The jury returned a verdict accordingly. The court took time to consult Mr. Baron Rolfe. Mr. CRESSWELL then applied for a rule nisi in arrest of judgment, on the ground that the statement contained no imputation on the character of the plaintiff. The court granted the rule. i "..

WINDSOR.—THURSDAY.—ShortIy after three o'clock her Majesty left the castle in a pony phaeton, driven by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Lord Alfred Paget attended her Majesty on horseback. Three other carriages followed, in which were the Coun tess of Sandbach, Countess of Erroll, Hon. Misses Paget and Anson, Lady Ida Hay, Earl Listowell, and Sir Frede rick Stoven. 'the royal party had not reached the double gates before they were obliged to return, in consequence of a heavy shower. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Lady C. Dundas, walked on the terrace in the morning. The Earl of Erroll, who arrived last evening, drove out in a pony phaeton. Sir H. Wheatley arrived at the castle this afternoon. COMPRESSED PEAT FUEL.—We ha ve repeate dl y re f erre d to a machine, some time ago invented by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, and latterly pe r f ected by skilful artizans under his direction, for compressing peats. One of his lordship's tenants, on the Drummond Cast le estate , Mr. Clark, at r your, has, of late, been manufacturing the new fuel, chiefly for the jewellers and steel forgers in England ; and this week a very large supply arrived at the new quay for shipment to London. It is made up in the shape and size of soap bars, and so powerful is the compression employed that the origi na l peat is hardly to be recognised in the black and metalic-look ing mass which the machine perfects. The properties of this new fuel are found to be highly advantageous in the branches of manufactures above referred to, and its great economy is evinced in the reduced price at which cutlery wrought with it is offered for sale. Sheffield razors, bearing the mark of " peat compressed," have been on sale this year throughout the country, we have been informed, as low as 27s per dozen. Considering the great extent of peat-mosses, in the highland districts particularly, we look for a rapid ex tension of the use of this valuable invention of Lord lougby' s , no t on ly as offering the means of procuring for inhabitants an abundant supply of a more cleanly and useful fuel than they have hitherto, from their inland situation, been able to obtain, but opening up to them a profitable branch of industry, for which the field is nearly as inexhausti ble as that of the material.—Perth Courier. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Ten o'clock. By the packet-ship England, Captain Waite, we are this moment put in possession of New York papers to the 20th ult. inclusive. The election of President continued to be the all-engross ing subject in the States, and though the Van Buren party seemed confident of success, the general impression appeared to be that General. Harrison would be elected. The Morning Herald of the 20th gives a tabular statement, showing the relative position of the candidates as regards their probable chances of success, which gives a great preponderance to the Harrison party. We make the following extracts : (Prom the New York Morning Herald, Oct. 20) THE ELECTIONS. Nearly every county in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, has been heard from. Yesterday's mails brought brought a few additional returns but they have not changed the aspect of political affairs in either state from what we gave y es t er day morning. We give the latest intelligence. OHIO ELECTION. .. 50,929 I Van Buren.... 31,213 PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION. Harrison...... 58,112 I Van Buren.... 62,775 Returns from two counties, M`Kean and Warren, are yet to be received. The former, in 1838, was connected with Potter, and the latter, in the same year, gave 158 Van Buren majority. The state is claimed by many Whigs, and every Democratic. Harrison GEORGIA ELECTION. Harrison .. 38,569 I Van Buren.... 34,012 Intelligence from eight counties is to be received. The Whig majority in the state will not vary far from 4500. A Correspondent from Philadelphia writes — Returns have been received from nearly all the counties in the state, officially and reported. The official returns, as they come in, all reduce the an Buren majorities, and the belief this evening is, that it is. quite probable that the Harrison ticket will have a majority in the aggregate at this election. UNITED STATES' NAVAL FORCE. AGGREGATE. Line of battle ships Frigates Sloops of war 11 Steamers . Full rigged brigs Whole number of vessels on service Number of guns 5 1 Besides the above vessels, there are two sloops of war, one full rigged brig, and one schooner, on the exploring expedi tion, which do not carry half their compliment of guns; making the whole number of vessels on service thirty. MONEY MARKET. _ - MONDAY, OCT. 19-6 P.m.—The Stock market to-day evinced a little reaction from the rise •of Saturday. The North American Trust and Banking Company declined 1 per cent.; United States Bank, + per cent.; Harlem,l per cent.; Paterson Railroad, 3 per cent.; Canton improved per cent.; Stonington, per cent. Sales of bills on Philadelphia were made at 21 to 2 1 discount ; on M o bile at n discount ; In diana 5 per cents. sold at 784. The condition of Europe at this time is such as to cause much uncertainty in regard to the future commercial inter course between the United States and England. The out. break of a general war has, by the last news, become highly probable. What effect this may have on American interests is problematical. There is in the London market now pro bably 20,000,000 dollars of American securities seekinc , ne gociation. A surplus cotton crop worth 70,000,000 dollars is about coming to market, and surplus breadstuffs to the amount of 30,000,000. Tobacco, rice, &c. 15,000,000; making 135,000,000 worth of property to realised in the coming year. At their regular meeting on the 6th, the banks declared their readiness to resume as soon as the U. S. Bank does so. That event being now in all probability settled, it may be considered so with the New Orleans banks. The State Bank of Illinois has also made extensive arrangements for re sumption, and there is no doubt but that the movement will be universal. The banks having resumed, there is but little probability that they will expand extensively. If the U. S. Bank re sumes, it will be with difficulty, and will require the most extreme caution and circumspection, to maitain her position. She will also press the settlement of old affairs with all pos sible expedition. Any departure from such a course, would ensure speedy ruin. THIRD EDITION. Standard-0,/ice, Three o' Clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—THIs DAY. (From Messrs. R. MAKIN ig t , SONS' Circular.) Since this day week the arrivals into this port include little more than a moderate supply of Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Oatmeal, with a few parcels of Malt coastwise and from Ireland, and 3676 barrels of Flour, chiefly from the Ameri can States ; but no grain whatever from abroad. Influenced by the dulness in the leading markets of this district at the close of last week, and the indifferent aspect of the trade as regards Wheat in London yesterday, the operations in this grain at our Corn-Exchange this morning have been very unimportant ; and, with the exception of fine samples of Baltic, in the value of which we have little change to note, most kinds of, foreign, and Irish generally, were exceedingly difficult of sale at a decline of full 2d. per 701bs. ; farmers' Wheat, on the contrary, being in very li mited supply, was rather dearer. Flour of all sorts continued in moderate request at nearly late prices. Malting Barley and Malt, moving off very slowly, were Is. or 2s. per quarter the aper. Beans and Peas ruled much the same as last week. The Oat trade remained in the same languid state as on Friday, and although our quotations are unaltered, there was a decided tendency to lower prices, which a more liberal supply would have confirmed. Oatmeal upon a very limited demand, barely maintained its previous value. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 3rd to the 9th November, 1840, inclusive. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 7. The imports of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, since this day se'nnight, have been on a very moderate scale, and from abroad we have received only 3,207 barrels of United States' Flour. Duties were paid, from the 2gth ult. to the 4th instant, on ssg qrs. of Wheat and 1,414 qrs, Barley. The duty on Wheat remains at 235 Bd per qr., but on Oats and Rye there is an advance of Is 6d, his 3d and 155 6d per qr. being the respective rates. Throughout the week the Grain trade has, on the whole, ruled dull ; and, with the moderate supplies above reported, we cannot quote an alteration in the price of any article. The sales of Danzig Wheat have been at 9s 9d to lOs 2d., Lower Baltic red 9s 2d to gs 4d, and the middling descriptions of Foreign 8s 8d to 9s per 701bs. Irish new Wheat has gone off very slowly: a little fair Waterford has been sold at 7s 9d to Bs per 701bs. Irish new kiln-dried Oats 2s 9d to 2s Ild per 45Ibs ; Oatmeal 25s 6d to 26s per load. United States' sweet Flour 33s to 345, Canadian 32s to 33s per barrel. One or two parcels of choice new English Barley have realized 40s to 428 per imperial quarter. Nothing has transpired in the bonded market; there are sellers of American Flour at 238 6d to 24s per barre 1.

Nothing done in Cocoa or Ginger. No sales in Rice. The sales in Rum are limited to about 50 puns., at former prices. . Tea.—ln consequence of the absence of news from China, there has been little business done this week, holders offering only small parcels but prices are very firm. The demand for all descriptions of East India Drysaltcry articles has been extremely moderate. and the sales are to a trifling extent. 500 bags of Nitrate of Soda sold at 19s to igs 6d per cwt., and nothing reported in Saltpetre. nyevvoocis.—The sales in Logwood are 'quite unimportant; 60 tons Cuba Fustic have brought £9 to £lO, and a few tons Camwood £23 to £26 per ton. The demand for Turpentine eon. tinues regular, and prices rather advance, the market being nearly cleared of all the parcels in first hands, except the late arrivals, which are now advertised for public sale ; 1500 to 16011 brls. have been sold at lls 6d to 13s 3d. Stokholm Tar is in demand, and 2800 brls. have been taken by the Trade at advanced rates.

Pearl Ashes are dull, and price rather drooping. Hides are in more limited demand, but there is no material alteration in price ; a few salted Monte Video Ox are reported at sid, 1100 dry salted Pernambuco at 64d to 6id, 1100 salted New South Wales at 3id to 4d, 350 dry salted Bombay Kips at HA per lb; and 600 salted Monte Video Horse at 13s 4d to 13s 6d each. Tobacco.—The business of the week consists of 220 hlids., of which 60 were for Ireland, 20 for re-sale, and the re mainder to the Trade. No change in prices. The Brimstone market continues in the same dull state as noticed for some time past, ai.d without any appearance of im provement; the sales this week are limited to a few tons, at the quotations. There has been a little inquiry for Argots, and 10 casks white have been sold at 48s, and 16 casks Oporto at 33s per cwt. A few casks Cream of Tartar have realized 82s, and brown 51s per cwt.

Oil of Turpentine is in limited demand, and the prices without alteration. Palm Oil.—The market is in a very unsettled state; 110 tons have been sold, chiefly in the early part of the week, at from £37 down to £36 lOs per ton, but the quotations are for the present almost nominal. In Hemp and Flax no business of im portance has transpired, and the market has assumed a dull ap pearance. Tallow.—A limited business was done in the first few days of the week at 53s to 535 6d for yellow Candle; but the con tinued unfavourable accounts since received from London have nearly suspended transactions, and the annexed quotations, which are reduced is per cwt., must .be considered little more than nominal. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 6. In the early part of the week the demand from the Trade con tinued general, and American Cotton, being less freely offered, brought rather higher prices; since Tuesday the inquiry has become more limited, and prices have receded to the quotations of Friday last.

Our Butter market continues much depressed, the top price of brands of the first character being 96s t o 98s. P i ckled Butter 92s for seconds. Beef in Ireland this season will be unprecedentedly large. This circumstance in some measure accounts for the present excessive dulness of the market, and the inclination that prices have downward. The currency of .Pork is better sus t a i ne d th an that of Beef, although the trade is very lifeless.
