pottrp. CONSERVATIVE SONGS. THE QUEEN, IN A BUMPER! The Queen, in a Bumper !—We'll drink to the crown, To the sceptre so wildly held o'er us; For dear are those symbols of ancient renown — They were dear to our fathers before us ! And, 0! when the spell that is in them falls dead On the ear and the heart of a Briton, That moment the glory of England is 110 — That moment her destiny's written! The Queen of the Isles is no tyrant to fear, And no faction shall keep her a vassal! The peasant is free in his cottage—the peer Is free in the light of his castle ; And shall not our Queen be, in word and in will, As free as her people around her ? 0, death to the traitors who, baffling her still, In fetters would bind, or have bound her. THE WIVES AND MOTHERS OF BRITAIN. Let each fill his glass, fill it high to the brim, For my toast is well worthy a full one; Nor would I give much for the feelings of him Who should deem it a vapid or dull one For him nct the wine-cup deservedly foams, Whatever gay room he may sit in : I give you the WOMEN, that brighten our homes— " The Wives am/ the Mothers of Britain!" 'Tis a toast comprnhensive—it leaves no one out Whose smiles nn\ke an English hearth pleasant, From the fair cottage matron that, rosy and stout, Delights the bold heart of the peasant — From her to the dame of the stateliest hall Our proudest nobility sit in ; And up to the Queen, who presides o'er us all, The Wives and the Mothers of Britain. Nor will we forget the sweet rose-buds that glow Beneath the kind eye of those mothers, Whose hearts are their own, yet not lung may be so, But devotedly, meekly another's. Let us hope that their sons will be patriots true, Like those in the room that we sit in; And still be it felt there is reverence due To the Wives and the Mothers of Britain !

This man has now fairly revolted against his Sovereign, and has forced her Majesty to surrender at discretion. All that he desired is con ceded to him. Espartero has crowned his career of cruelty and treachery by treason and rebellion. The truly " liberal" movement of Espartero throws a curious light on the value of those honours which our ministers have recently lavished upon him. Lord Melbourne and his associates have thought tit to be stow on Espartero the grand cross of the Bath, and to accompany the gift with a letter, in which praise of the most fulsome kind is lavished on the imputed heroism and patriotism of this cunning cut-throat.. The Duke of Sussex, too, of all men, was singled out to pen the letter in question ; and his royal highness, with that exquisitely had taste which has, through life, distin guished all his public exhibitions, contrived to render more offensive a proceeding which no skill could have divested of its inherently offensive character. The Duke of Sussex lavished on Espartero's conduct terms of the most fulsome praise. Amongst the phrases em ployed by the royal penman were these—" Esteem for your person, and approbation of your loyal conduct to your Sovereign"—" your absolute devotion to your country"—" the regard and admiration with which her Britannic Majesty's Government views your political and military career"—" a faithful subject, a true pa triot, a man of honour, and a general as skilful as he is distinguished." Such, we repeat, were the terms applied to Espartero by the Duke of Sussex. What may his royal highneSs think now of the Queen of Spain's present prime minister ? To bestow the order of the Bath on a man like Es partero, was to debase that illustrious order in so far as any act of our " liberal" ministers might produce such a result. The letter of the Duke of Sussex, however, was more discreditable to his royal highness's ministerial employers, than even the presentation of the insignia of the Bath to the suborner of the traitor Maroto. Few grosser violations of public decency than the transaction in all its bearings presents, have been attempted even by our Whig rulers. Yet our Whig rulers had previously bestowed the honour of mi litary knighthood. on Colonel Evans—and they had offered to raise Daniel O'Connell to the Bench ! In all its aspects, and at every stage of its progress, the cause of " liberalism" in Spain approves itself worthy of its " liberal" patrons in this country. The war. in so far as England has been concerned, was a mere stockjobbers' war. The assertors of " liberalism" in Spain are usurers and robbers. They have made war on the prerogative of the Crown : they have plun dered and oppressed the great body of the people. The wretchedness and poverty of Spain have increased in exact proportion to the degree of success which has attended the cause of Spanish "liberalism.". In sup port of that cause millions of British capital and thou sands of British lives have been wasted. In attempt ing to support that cause, Colonel Evans contrived to tarnish the honour of the arms of England, and was rewarded by Lord Melbourne. In directing the ope rations of the " liberal' party, Espartero has contrived to tarnish the honour of the arms of England—and was rewarded by Lord Melbourne. In directing the operations of the " liberal" party, Espartero has con trived to stain himself with crimes of every hue. For the perpetrator of these crimes Espartero has been ho noured by Lord Melbourne with the order of the Bath, and flattered by the Duke of Sussex, in a letter which his royal highness, we dare venture to believe, now blushes to reflect upon. THE PRESENT CONDITION AND FUTURE PRO SPECTS OF BRITISH GUIANA. (From Mr. Schornburck's " _Resources of British Guiana." The last trace of slavery terminated in Guiana on the first of August, 1838, by a bill having passed the Court of Policy, or legislative body, which had for its object the abolition of the negro apprenticeship on that day, unfettered by any re striction, and unconnected with any subsidiary enactments. It was to be expected, that men who had been held, all their lives, to compulsory labour, should be disposed to re lax, and in some instances totally abstain from it; but it was scarcely thought, that in a colony like Guiana, where labour was comparatively easy as contrasted with that on a sugar estate in the mountainous islands ; and where, besides, every contrivance which machinery could devise to ease manual la bour, had been introduced,—that the failure of crops would have Leen so frightful. The first decrease arose from unfa vourable weather, and from the circumstance, that the negro, unaccustomed to the new state of things, did not understand his new position ; but it soon became evident that an irregu larity of labour existed, and that the planter could not be certain of the same number of labourers in the field two days together ; and many of the negroes, after working for a short time, left their work in order follow their own incline nations. Another dimunition arose from the indisposition of the women to attend to field work ; and though on many of the estates throughout British Guiana a fair portion of labour was obtained, the decrease in 1838, as compared with the average crop of six previous years, was 9664 hogsheads of sugar. The deficiency in the exports of the first quarter of 1839, as compared with 18313, amounted to 1238 hhds., and was ascribed to the excessive drought, which lasted upwards of seventy days withoat respite, in consequence of which the savannahs, creeks, or lakes, were dried up, and the trenches, having no supply, were exhausted ; while the sugar canes were left uncut from the impossibility of conveying them to the works. The decrease in export for Demerara and Esse oeebo continued, and amounted, during the second quarter of 1839, as compared with the average quantity of correspond ing quarters of 1831, 1832, and 1833, 4.473 hogsheads of or sugar, 2565 puncheons of rum, 4086 hogsheads of molasses, and 57,0601b5. coffee : however, " the lengthened drought of the last and beginning of the present quarter would have caused diminished crops in Essequebo and Demerara, under the most coerced system of labour. The coffee berry is fixed, and a large harvest is anticipated." Thus reports Governor Light to the Marquis of Normanby, on 16th July, 1836. The exports during the third quarter, namely, from the 6th of July to the 10th of October, as compared with the average quantity of the corresponding quarters of 1831, 1832, and 1833, prove unfortunately a decrease of 7720 hogsheads, (12,660,8001b5.) of sugar, 2116 puncheons of ruin, 7309 hogsheads of molasses, and 1,271,8781b5. of coffee. The deficiency in the coffee crop after the large harvest which three months previously was anticipated, is startling, and is decisive of the proof, that not only the unfavourable season, but the general idleness and want of labour, had a great share in the unfortunate results of the first year of the freedom. On the causes which produced that deficiency, I cannot do better than quote the opinion of one of the ablest statesmen of the present time : " I am not disposed as a general proposition to refer this falling off in the produce to the want of adequate wages as its cause. Many vexatious disputes have no doubt arisen : the proper rate of wages was all to seek : the engagements and obligations of slavery had left s t rong traces i n th habits and minds both of employer and negro ; th e one , w i t h li tt l e rea son, expected that the negro was, at all events, to carry on the cultivation of sugar; while the other, with as little right, thought he was, in any case, to remain in undisturbed pos session of his large provision ground. Aut a larger or more ' general cause had led to the decline of cultivation of sugar and coffee. * * * * " A few acres of ground will produce provisions for a fa mily with some surplus to sell at market, and bring home manufactured goods; the negroes who earn high wages, buy or hire nlots of land, and refuse to let their daily labour for hire." To this circumstance, coupled with the indolence to which a great part of the negroes are prone, must be ascribed the want of continuous and regular labour ; and consequently the deficiency in exports amounted, at the close of the year 1839, to £167,180, as compared with 1838, which year in itself left a deficiency in Demerara alone, exclusive of Berbice, to no less an amount than £930,000 as compared with 1837. The conclusion is fallacious, that supposing the exports of sugar for the year 1839, reach only 35,000 hogsheads, the return in money will be larger than when the produce was at its great est extent. The very important fact, that the expenses of producing a hogshead of sugar, are increased in equal ratio to its higher value in the market, dces not leave sufficient profit to the planter to counterbalance the diminished quantity of his produce. Experienced planters fear that the falling off in the crops in the present year will be much greater since the labour which the planter was able to procure, was only applied to the cutting of the ripe canes, while planting, drain age, and other labour for securing future crops were neg lected; and it is therefore to be foreseen that the cultivation of the soil, which has been already neglected, will in a short time be entirely abandoned, if some re me d y b e not devise d to replace those labourers who have become independent, or follow other pursuits than field labour in order to procure their livelihood. An unlimited and free emigration alone is able to rescue British Guiana from its rapid decline. Emigration alone will enable us to reap all the advantages which this truly magni ficent colony offers ; a colony which, as at present situated, experts with a population of 100,000 labourers 35,000 hoee heads of sugar ; while Jamaica, with 440,000 labourers, pro duces 53,100 hogsheads; and Barbadoes, with 90,000 coloured labourers, 23,500 hogsheads ; a fact which forcibly points out the superior fertility of British Guiana. This colony surpas ses equally in impOrts every other in the British West Indies, and the import of goods of British manufacture amounted in 1836 to £5 14s der head; and have probably risen in 1839 to £lO per head: If the misery which would be inflicted upon the large ma nufacturing towns might be calculated from the effects which the stoppage of the export trade caused in 1810 and 1811, the prospects of the manufacturing districts in England, in the case of the breaking out of any war with Europe or with the United States, are distressing. It becomes, therefore, the double policy of Great Britain to foster the resources of her own possessions, in order to increase with her population the demand for her manufac tured goods ; and the example of British Guiana, wh'ere in 1838, under the most adverse circumstances, the increasing demands for manufactured goods and other supplies had oc casioned an additional tonnage inwards of 10,618 tons as compared with t►r of 1836, will point again to that colony as the mart where the manufactured goods of the mother country are likely to find the readiest scale. There is every fear that the growing manufacturing establishment on' the• continent of Europe may shut out British goods from the European market; and how far the European powers are anxious to accomplish this, the Prussico-Teutonic com mercial league and Russian ukases have sufficiently shown. In the colonies alone, from long-continued habits and con nections of their population, the supply of British manufac tures meets no competition from foreigners. In the British West Indies, Barbadoes is the only colony which is thickly peopled. Its population is computed at 104,000 inhabitants upon an area of 150 square miles, or 693 inhabitants to each square mile. The population is there fore in such a proportion, that the relation between the em ployer and the labourer is put upon a natural level ; and it is generally considered that in consequence the free labour system will best succeed in that colony. In order to accom plish the desirable object of raising British Guiana to the state of the island of Barbadoes with regard to its popula tion, it remains to point out those sources from which la bourers may be obtained, who are suited for working under a tropical clime. . . Africa is the part of the world which for upwards of three centuries supplied the colonies of European nations with la bourers. Abounding in a population which, buried in the darkness of savage life, were divided in numerous tribes en gaged in constant warfare with each other, we will leave the question entirely untouched, whether religion and civilization have gained by the drafts which European nations have made upon those unfortunate beings. The ties of relationship and country were not torn asunder for making them converts to religion and civilization ; cupidity was the mainspring of those acts for which history will ever blush. Plans have been proposed to establish steam navigation, and to invite the most intelligent natives of the African coast to visit Guiana, in order that they may judge for themselves whether it offer any advantages which cannot be procured in Africa, and communicate their experience to their own countrymen ; by which means not only a stream of free emi grants might be obtained, but the success of this scheme would be equally calculated to further the views of civilizing Africa. The short passage in steamers between the coast of Africa and Guiana, might induce many to give their assistance in getting in the crops; and return after having earned a sum of wages, whi ;h according to their idea renders them rich. The orderly and religious state cf the indigenous labouring popu lation in Guiana could not fail to have the best effects upon the minds of the newly arrived Africans ; and at their return to their homes, with the good example of their black brethren in Guiana before their eyes, a powerful means would be given of disseminating religious principles and civilization among them. In this way the philanthropic views of Mr. Buxton and his coadjutors would be promoted. The planter in Guiana, however, could not calculate upon the timely arrival of this assistance, which would be always subjected to cir cumstances and caprices ; and although many might settle permanently, and amalgamate with the existing creole race, this process is too slow to warrant the expectation of much benefit for the colony. The most important question to de cide in adopting such a plan as an auxiliary scheme of pro viding Guiana with the necesary labour is, whether it would meet the approbation of the British government ? If the question be calmly considered, the plan appears plausible, and deserves to receive the approbation of the Bri tish government, much as it might be opposed, for well founded reasons, to the entire transfer of Africans to an Ame rican colony. Under their protection, measures might be adopted to facilitate this periodical emigration ; and its very nature, that not a permament settlement, but merely their labour for a certain period is aimed at, excludes even the shadow of compulsion. Ireland, and several districts on the continent of Europe, offer similar examples ; and the asser tion of the same right which the Irish labourer has at his op tion, if he considers himself wronged by his employer in England, might be applied in a still higher degree to the African, who offers his temporary labour to the colonist. The peculiar situation of Great Britain in whatever relates to the suppression of the slave trade, makes it, I fear, im practicable to recruit at the coast of Africa for permanent settlers. Whatever might be the advantages which might accrue to the African races from a permanent settlement at Guiana, the evil genius of the slave trade has spread its wings over benighted Africa, and the best intentions for the ame lioration of its barbarous population run the risk of being accused of selfish views. The plans of the African Coloniza tion Society share a similar suspicion, and ate said to be un dertaken merely as the first germs of African colonies under British sway. The treasures of the soil, of which that vast region might be made the depository, and the reward of in dustry and social amelioration which await the African from the realization of Mr. Buxton's plans, are as much exposed to the mistrust of other European nations, as the scheme of transferring the African for the same purpose to Guiana, where there is a field sufficiently extensive tor millions to reap the fruits of their industry and the blessings of the Christian religion and civilization, and where the savage would advance in the career of civilization with greater rapidity than could ever be expected in Africa. More effective measures however are requisite, than those offered by the prospect of distant success in recruiting labour ers from Africa, in order to arrest the present decline of our colonies in the west, and to stay the increase of the slave trade, which in consequence of that decline has received a new impetus. I need only to point to Cuba and Puerto Rico for the proof of the latter assertion, where American and British capital reap all the advantages of a continued slave trade and an ample supply of labourers. The prosperity of these colo nies is unfortunately built upon the downfall of the British colonies, suffering as they do the most urgent want of labour ers for their rich and luxuriant lands ; and the olny hope that is left for averting this rapid decline of the colonies, is the proposition of introducing a number of Indian labourers, called Hill Coolies. It appears that this poor race have been subject to the most abject state of degradation ; and if we can believe the publie accounts, want prevailed in the British Indian possessions in 1838 to such a degree, that 500,0(10 of these miserable beings are said to have died of hunger. They migrate into India annually in large numbers, in search of employment, which appears to be precarious, while, if suc cessful, their earnings yield a bare subsistence. It was there fore imagined by some persons interested in British Guiana, that if these Hill Coolies, who were starving, were to emi grate to Guiana, where an unlimited demand for labour would ensure them high wages, they would not only profit them selves, but also the colony which was to receive their labour. 437 Coolies embarked, therefore, in Calcutta, of whom 16 died on the voyage, and two fell overboard in a violent gale; while 419 landed in Guiana. Their terms of contract were five years service for wages of five rupees monthly, payable in dollars, at the exchange of two rupees per dollar ; they were to be supplied daily with provisions, and annualy with cloth ing ; as also with medical attendance and medicine. It is much to be regretted that no proper selection was made among those who offered their services, and that ne cessary precautions were not taken at their arrival to prevent the diseases which more abundant food, change of climate, herding together in one room in lieu of separate houses, and working at the fields without being inured to the climate, were likely to cause. If some regulation had been in opera tion for that purpose, it is not likely that the sickness which spread so widely, and proved so fatal to the Coolies, would have occurred.* It was in consequence that the commissa ries appointed by the governor of British Guiana, to inquire into the state and condition and general treatment of end grants, recommended that all emigrants, on their arrival in the colony, should not be permitted to be located on any estate, or elsewhere, until the agent for emigrants, or some other person appointed for that purpose, first see and ascer tain that the dwellings to be appropriated for their reception are in every way suitable and comfortable ; that the labour required of them should be apportioned to their several cir cumstances ; that they should not be called upon to perform a full day's work for several months after the arrival ; and, if practicable, the wages allowed to them should not be less, in proportion to the labour perforated, than is paid to the other labouring classes of the community. This recommen dation was adopted by the governor, who observes on this subject, in his despatch to the Marquis of Normanby, dated Demerara, 14th October, 1839,—" The anxiety to meet the views of her Majesty's government, expressed by the com munity at large on the subject of immigration, will enable your lordship to assume any position, in protection of immi grants, you may think necessary. I have already given di rections respecting the reception of immigrants introduced by private speculators, who have hitherto detained them on board till located. The harbour-master is instructed to se cure immediate communication with the shore, and disem barkation within twenty-four hours of arrival in the river." f' It cannot be denied that the loss of life by mismanagement at the first arrival of the Coolies proved serious to them as a body. Much of it was to be ascribed to the difficulty of in ducing them to submit to timely remedies, and to the expe rience of medical men ; but this aversion has been overcome, and wise regulations with regard to their welfare have pro duced happy results. Indeed it is evident, that with the ex ception of the African, they appear to be better qualified as labourers in Guiana than any other individuals. It is repre sented by official reports that every attention is paid to ren der them comfortable, and from all the information which was procured by the commissioners appointed for the purpose of inquiring into their present state, it appeared that they had considerably improved since their arrival. They executed their work with a cheerfulness not to be exceeded in any part of the world. * According to the official returns of the stipendiary ma gistrate, dated November Ist, 1839, the number of deaths which had occurred among the Coolies since they landed amounted to sixty-three males and three females. j- Parliamentary paper, " Hill Coolies, British Guiana," ordered to be printed 21 st of February, 1840, p. 45. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF DYSART.—We regret to announce the decease of the Right Hon. Louisa Countess of Dysart, Baroness Huntingtower, &c., which event took place at her seat, Ham-house, in the county of Surry, on Tuesday, the 22d instant. Her ladyship was daughter of Lionel, third Earl of Dysart, by Lady Grace Carteret, daughter of John, first Earl of Granville. and was born July 2, 1745. She was married in 1765 to John Manners, Es q. of the Grange, near Grantham, in the county of Lincoln, by whom (who died September 23, 1792) she had issue three sons and four daughters. On the death of her brother Wil braham, fifth Earl of Dysart, in 1821, she succeeded to the family honours and estates. NOVEL MECHANISM.—At the Thompson Arms Hotel, in Sunderland, on Wednesday week, during the serving of the dinner given to Alderman Thompson, the novel sight was witnessed of a table covered with vians, rising from the kitchen to a level with the dining-room, and, the contents being removed to the dining-table, the other descended and again rose with a fresh supply, until the entire dinner was served u. ALDERMAN HARMER.—The election of Lord Mayor of the City of London will take place on Thursday next. Ef forts are making to secure the return of Alderman Harmer to the civic chair, but we hope, and we have the strongest reasons for believing, that this mischievous attempt will be defeated. We anxiously await the result ; for the conduct of the citizens of London upon this oczasion concerns us, in an important respect, as intimately as it concerns themselves. Will the greatest city in the world invest with the highest honours it can bestow, one who receives a direct profit from the weekly sale of a paper containing the grossest, filthiest. and most ruffianly attacks upon religion and the throne, that ever disgraced the British press ; a paper which is the de spiser and contemner of all that is good and sacred in our institutions? will they do this, and thereby stamp with the mark of their approval the dissemination of principles which 1 we know to be exercising the most pernicious influence, not in the large towns only, like .

During the months of April, May, and June, of the pre sent year, there died in the five parishes of Penllyn, Merio nethshire, forty-three persons: the average of the ages of seventeen out of that number was 80 years ! An advocate was lately convicted at Berne of havinineed lessly protracted a suit in which he was engaged 13 years, and sentenced to a fine of 25 franks—one pound sterling ! Some inquiries are in progress as to the condition of the Greenwich out-pensioners, with a view to ascertain such as are still capable of active duty. Pheasant shooting commences on Thursday next, the Ist of October. These birds are not very plentiful this season, but remarkably fine and strong in the wing. - . _ Government has sent down a gentleman from the Customs to Gainsbro', to inquire into the propriety of making that place a port. _ _ . Last week, an extraordinarily fine stag was shot by the keeper to Godfrey Wentworth, Esq., at Woolley Park, York shire,. which weighed 29st. 111hs.; on some parts of this extraordinary ani►ual, the fat was three inches thick. A LOST WAGER.—Just aft& the St. Leger was run for this year at Doncaster, a person from near Thurlstone, was seen running up and down the course, in a great hurry, first taking one person's hat off, and then another ; one gentleman to whom he had taken the liberty of doing so asked him what was amiss, " Wha," said the west countryman, in his native dialect, " Ha bet a wager, auze won five paind on a ball'd headed chap, an ha want to foind him if ha can." The Board of Stamps have announced their intention of puttini , a stop to the clandestine and illegal mode of adver tising,slately adopted by speculators, through the medium of postage covers. In future, all such publications will be charged with stamp duty the same as newspapers. RAILWAY HARES.—As a luggage train was on its way front Selby to Hull, on Thursday evening list, a hare was seen on its hind legs and staring at the approaching mass. The animal actually remained till it was run over, and of course killed. Shortly afterwards, another hare started up before the engine, ran a head of it for upwards of two miles, and then, whilst in the act of crossing the road, had its head cut off by one of the wheels.—Hull Times. KEIG/ILEY CHuncit RATE.—A meeting was held in the vestry of the parish church, on Friday, the 18th inst., the Rev..W.

This must be eery gratifying to the new rector, as it is some time since a church rate was obtained in the parish. A CURIOUS AFFAIR.—A person of the name of Wilkinson near Croft, received about a week ago, a parcel by the rail way coach from about Auckland, which upon being opened, presented the appaling spectacle of a dead infant. It might have been still-born, or died through the want of assistance at its birth. Great imp ries have been made and active exer tions are still making by the police, to obtain some clue to this marvellous affair, but without success. Various interpreta tions have been put upon this barbarous and inhuman act. — Leeds Inelligencer. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO TILE REV. THEO.

Dury, late Rector of Keighley, on Wednesday week last, to present him with a handsome silver tea and coffee service, as a mark of their gratitude to him, for his services during the period he was rector. And at the same time a massive silver tea caddy, was presented, from the teachers and scholars of the Church Sunday School. The subscrip tions to both the above presents, amounted to about £l4O. DEATH OF LORD KENTMURE.—John Gordon, Viscount Kenmure, and Lord of Lochinvar, in the Scotch peerage, died on the 21st instant, in his 91st year. His lordship's titles were restored in 1824, having been forfeited by his grandfather, the sixth viscount. His lordship married in 1781 Miss Morgan, who died in 1815, and by whom he had ❑o issue. He is succeeded by his nephew, Lieut. Adam Gordon, R.N., eldest son of his brother, Adam Gordon, who died in 1806. THE LATE CASE OF FANATictsst.—The young man, Molloy, whose extraordinary acts of fanaticism appeared some time si►►ce in this paper, continues still at the Meath Hospital, in, we regret to say, a very precarious state. The injuries which he inflicted on hi►nself aYe of so serious a nat►►re that the physicians are apprehensive they may termi nate in a lock-jaw, which must be fatal. Yet, notwithstand ing the intense pain which the poor man must of necessity suffer, he continues singing hymns, repeating psalms, and quoting texts of Scripture with a fervour which would do honour to the first among our modern saints. Persons in the hospital are obliged to keep watch in his room, both night and day, fearing least his wretched fanaticism might in duce him to complete still greater violence on himself. — Dublin Evening Packet. The nu►nber of letters delivered through the postoffice on any particular day in London is very much influenced by cir cumstances. The average number of general post letters is about 30 per cent. greater on Monday than on any other day of the week. Last Christmas day the number of general post letters, outwards, fell about 70 per cent., and the num ber of district post letters about 80 per cent. On the day of her Majesty's wedding, the first fell about 70 per cent., and the second about 25 ; whilst on St. Valentine's day, the first rose about five, and the second 30 per cent. SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A frightful and fatal accident occurred on the Great Western Railway, on Wcd eesday afternoon, under the following circumstances. It ap pears that a cow-keeper, named Robert Ruddel, aged eighty years, had been in the habit of crossing the line in pursuit of his avocations, at the Gravel-Fits, Keynsham, and on this occasion he was induced, at the request of one of the police, who knew that he was deaf and feeble through his great age, to sit down on a post until after the five o'clock up-train from Bristol to this city, which was momentarily expected, should have passed. He, however, unfortunately left his seat too soon, and got between the rails just as the train came in sight, and, notwithstanding that the whistle of the engine and other signals were used to warn him out of the way, he did not move, and the whole train passed over him, causing his instant death and terrible mutilation. No blame whatever can be attached to the company's servants.—Bath Chronicle. PORTSMOUTH.—The Medea steamer, Commander War dell, the Salamander steamer, Commander Henry, and the Hecate steamer, Commander Ward, are preparing in the river for the Mediterranean. The first-named is nearly ready for sea. The Calcutta, Si, Capt. Sir Samuel Roberts, will be ready for sea at Plymouth on the 28th October. The whole of the crew of the Belleisle, 78, have been transferred to her for service in the Mediterranean. The North Star, 26, Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 13., has come into the har bour from the north coast of Spain, and is ordered to be re fitted with all dispatch to proceed to Lisbon for the protec tion of mercantile property. The commodore has struck his broad- pennant. The Queen, 110, will be commissioned here next week by Capt. J. W. Montague, for Admiral Sir Edward Codrington's flag. The hides, 84, will be ready to hoist the pendant on the 12th October. The Vesuvius steam vessel, Commander Henderson, is daily looked for from Cha tham, on her way to join Sir Robert Stopford in the Mediter ranean. The Vengeance, 84, is shortly expected at Ports mouth, from Plymouth, to be fitted as a demonstration-ship. —Brighton Gazette. NEW ZEALAND LANDS.—The Auction Mart was crowded on Thursday, in consequence of the first sale by auction of 1000 acres of land, recently sold by this company to indivi duals. Much excitement prevailed, and a very unusual com petition was the result. Mr. Robins intimated that the company disposed of these lands in sections of 101 acres each —that is to say, 100 suburban acres, a few miles removed from the intended new city of Wellington. Each purchaser of 100 acres to have one acre given to him adjacent to the city, for his house of business. This was sold (the 101 acres) to the public at £lOO. Mr. Robins sold on Thursday the lots of 101 acres, some for 100 guineas, and the rest from 160 guineas to 140 guineas. When the sale was commencing, Mr. Robins said he had just seen a proclamation, dated the 21st of May, from Governor Hobson, whereby " the whole of New Zealand," including the company's settlement at Port Nicholson, " was declared a British colony, and sub ject to British laws." By this important document the ground was cleared of every real and imaginary difficulty, and it would be in very bad taste to doubt that the prospects of the New Zealand company were not as flourishing as those of Australia. We animadverted last week, but not with a severity pro portionate to the evil, on the great injury inflicted on public morals by such open profanation of the Lord's day, as that perpetrated by the railroad tour from Leeds to Sheffield. True, the scene was a magnificent one ; magnificent also was the sin ! To violate the commands of God on a grand scale may possibly impose on weak minds ; but, in the eye of cool reason, the moral turpitude of so glaring a breach of them is thereby infinitely aggravated. By the way, w e are at a loss to account for the passiveness of the provincial press, very generally, on a subject of such stirring interest and vital importance. We can only account for it on the supposition that a sinister influence is at work to conceal facts, and stifle the expression of public feeling. In one instance, at least, we know this to have been the case. A well-written article, animadverting in strong but temperate language on the glar ing mismanagement displayed on a recent occasion, lately appeared in a paper published not far from the spot w'uere a dreadful railroad accident had occurred. No sooner was this innocently offensive article seen in the first ar►d limited edition of the paper in question, than the all-powerful influ enee and intimidation of the Directors were forthwith put in motion, which, unhappily for the interests of the public, proved too successfully in totally suppressing.it in the subse. quent and more widely circulated edition.—Watchman. - - - THE EGYPTIAN GUN CARRIAGE.—On Wednesday morn ing a stupendous carriage for the long gun in St. James's park, constructed in the carriage department, and cast by Messrs. Hall, of Dartford, was placed in its destination, St. James's-park. It is divided into five compartments. The first contains the insignia of the Order of the Garter; the second is filled up with a shield and crown, with the initials "G. R. III." in the shield. In the central compartment, Britannia is represented seated, with a shield at one side, and a lion couchant at the other. The.perspective is filled up with a view of the ocean, and the Pyramids of Egypt in the distance. The fourth department contains an enormous cro codile, the " slimy monster" of the Nile. The fifth contains the emblems of oriental (or rather, we should say, oriental and accidental) personification—the sabre and the sceptre crossed, and the coronet of feathers, which, to our minds, is associated only with the ideal figure of America. , The re verse of the carriage is precisely similar : at the end is this inscription :—" This gun taken in Egypt by the British army, 1801." The wheels, which are placed on a separate truck, are exceedingly massive; the radii are shaped like the branches of the palm tree. A sphinx lies on the same car riage; intended to lie at the foot of the gun. The weight of the carriage alone is seven tons, eight hundred weight, two quarters, and seven pounds. Those who are acquainted with works of this description consider it an excellent production. We consider the design, however, devoid of that freedom which, in the present state of art, might easily be attained. —TVoolwich Gazette. attempt te t r : yehtm o acm n pgunt i eora o rt maoueatftseif current poisoning d A oeo iriff T vn ai T ann E Nottingham Mantling,u, ee o i r P t o y t p i service e nemw A gn ay x essalont vme P mut riotioasootl throughout r o istio N deocl lura l hn, gbiyNalhyl character. umco — entt readrnArretai recollected, r oeeg e ll dAja p wes o ameetl r et;y t eikt usotd,shl young e a ßndt ah s gebo asrel b hmt: e oboaa e nir. n n ne tot cir cumstanceshfmet only daughter of the Rev. S. Bolton, of Nottingham Park, took a stroll into the Market-place, where he observed a stranger, who accosted him, and inquired if his name was Manning, and if he had not married Miss Bolton ? The answer, of course, was in the affirmative. The stranger said he had some little news he would tell him about his wife, and where he might find her in London, if he would step aside. Manning, having reason to suppose that his wife was with her father and mother in London, and had been for some weeks, readily welt, md had a conversation, in which the stranger mentioned a house in Oxford-street, at which the wife might be found. Anxious to get a sight of her, as a suit is now pending in the Ecclesiastical Court for a divorce, which Manning is defending, be listened with attention to the tale, made many inquiries, and then expressed himself obliged. Just after closing his remarks, the stranger took a " pocket pistol" from his side pocket, and, taking out the cork, appeared to drink ; he then put the cork into the bot tle again, and was about covering it with a leathern case, when he suddenly said, " Oh dear ! how ill-mannerly I a m not to ask you to drink ;" and, by over - per suasion, he in duced Manning to take a draught, and, by be in g p ressed to drink, a second draught. They then parted, and the stranger disappeared. In a short time Manning became sick, and before he could get in at the door he fell, and was taken up by the neighbours in the yard in a state indicating that he had been drinking something poisonous. Medical assistance was obtained, but Manning still lies in a dangerous state. — Bath Chronicle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.-FRIDAY.

At the distance Ernest began to cut out the work, challenged Cruiskeen, who here made a desperate effort to maintain her ground. Messmate, who was close at her heels, gradually gained on her, soon showed in front, and reached home first, after a desperate race, with a good length to spare, Cruiskeen and Ernest running - a dead heat for the second place.

LEEDS.—There appears to be a fair demand for balk goods in the cloth halls, as well as in the warehouses, for the country trade; but the clothiers complain loudly of the want of remunerative profit ; indeed some of them assert that every time they turn their " bit o' brass" over they find it get less instead of more. BRADFORD MARKETS.—There was a good attendance of buyers at our market on Thursday, and considerable business was done in fine six-quarter merinos, Orleans and Saxony cloths and figured pieces. The prices offered were very low, and more business might have been done if the manufacturers could have accepted the terms. The yarn market was rather brisk, at previous rates. The wool market presented no feature worthy of remark, though prices could scarcely be maintained. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Sept. 25.—The buyers are looking forward to the approaching London sales, and pur chase with caution. Prices are the same as last week for nearly all sorts. LANCASHIRE.—SeveraI failures of tolerably large manu facturing concerns have lately occurred in Oldham and the v:cinity, yet the machinery in most of the mills is in full operation, the short time working having been discontinued. The Batting trade is much more depressed than it was a few weeks ago ; great numbers of hands in that line are suffering distress from the scarcity of work. The cotton spinning and power loom weaving businesses in Crompton are compara tively brisk ; whilst at Royton the cotton trade is slowly improving. A considerable manufactory of locomotive and mill engines has been recently established at Royton. The gingham trade in the neighbourhood of Manchester is mode rately brisk ; four-quarters fancies, and fine goods, five and six colours, are in particular request, more so than they have been for the last four years past; common sorts and low reeds are rather dull ; Nankeens, except particular qualities are rather flat. The flannel trade at Rochdale, which has been in a depressed state for some time past, is now im proving, and hundreds of hands and power loom weavers who have been destitute of employment have now full work, and the trade both in cotton and woollen mills may be said to be much better then they were six weeks past. The calico block printing in the neighbourint , towns of Manchester is very flat, and at many large shops hands this week have little more than half employment; yet it is no worse than is gene rally the case at this season of the year. The printing upon silk warps is unusually brisk, indeed that branch of trade is rapidly increasing every week. The silk weaving at Mid dleton, Failsworth, Leigh, Manchester, and other neighbour ing towns is very brisk, more so than it has been for many years past at this season of the year. Weavers of nearly every quality of goods have full employment, and those who work striped and printed sarsnets at several places have extra wages for their work if taken to the warehouses in a certain time which they have allowed ; indeed there are no operatives in the country doing so well as fancy silk weavers of heavy shawls. One large manufacturer is now making printed shawls, nine colours, selling at £lO and £l2 per shawl. The silk trade, apparently, is only in its infancy in this county: every week it increases, and cotton hand-loom weavers, and persons who have been employed in other trades are changing to the silk business. There are many French people and operatives from other countries lately arrived, and com menced weaving the fancy and other kinds of silk goods. The cotton trade at Blackburn, though rather dull, is im proving slowly, and it is expected that the hands in all the mills will shortly be fully employed. The trade at Heywood, Bury, and. Todmorden is no worse. Notwithstanding that the machinery in cotton factories in the above districts is generally in full operation, yet there are a vast number of spinners thrown out of employment by the coupling of jennies, as we mentioned a few weeks ago, and the manu facturers of cotton goods have less profits than we ever knew them to have, and wages of factory operatives generally have lately undergone a reduction. THE MILITIA.—It has been determined that a general dinner meeting of the officers of that truly constitutional, but much neglected force, the militia, shall take place in Lon don early in next spring, when Colonel Wood, of the Royal East Middlesex, will take the chair. The dinner will be upon a grand scale. A committee has been appointed, at which Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Bart., of the West Kent Re giment, presides, for the purpose of making and carrying into effect the necessary arrangements for the occasion. Circulars have been forwarded to the colonels and adjutants of the different corps to communicate this intention to their officers. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY. —The Firebrand man-of-war steamer, with the Lords of the Admiralty on board, on her way from Milford to this port, ran upon the Naas Sands on Tuesday morning, in thick wea ther, and entirely, we are informed, through the pilot who accompanied her from Milford altering the course before daylight. She struck heavily, although, fortunately for their lordships, there was not much sea up. She was seen by the Bristol steamer, from Swansea, in her precarious situation. We have authority for stating that there was no Bristol branch pilot on board. The Naas Sands are considered ex tremely dangerous, and their lordships' escape was probably owing to the strength of their ship. Had it occurred on the following day she must have gone to pieces. She struck near the spot where the Frolic was lost, when upwards of 100 souls perished. The Firebrand came up to Cumberland basin on Tuesday evening, when Lord Mintz and the other lords took their. departure. Sir William Symons, we hear, remained at the Gloucester Hotel, and examined the iron shop in the Great Western Company's yard on Wednesday. We hear that the Firebrand is gone to Milford to be put into dock and examined.—Bristol Mirror. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING. (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.)

The country demand for Butter is extensive. and a rapid diminu tion of stock has taken place. Under these circumstances, holders ask an advance in price of about 2s per cwt. We have not, how ever, heard more than inns has teen realized for the finest sort. The great probability is, that prices will rule very high during the winter and spring. The general limit upon consigned pickled Butter is 955. Sales are nevertheless made atis._to 2s less money. The contract for Beef and Pork with which to supply the navy has been taken at .ir7 2s for 15,000 tierces of the former, and .4'6 15s for 15,000 tierces of the latter. The market for provisions is pretty well supported. Pork, indeed, we think worth 2s 6d per barrel more money. Bacon, .58s for fine Belfast, and a force sale. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

SEPT. 26. The demand was very animated in the early part of the week, particularly from Speculators and an advance of id per lb was currently obtained on the common and fair qualities of American, and id on the better kinds ; and although the dull state of the market at Manchester on Tuesday last checked the inquiry, a fair extent of business has since been done,' but the extreme ad vance is barely supported. Surat has been in good request, and is rather (tearer, Brazil and Egyptian without material change. For Sea Island there has been a good demand, and the decline noticed last week has been regained.

The arrivals from abroad, since this day week, consist chiefly of about 6000 qrs. of Wheat, 2400 qrs. of Oats, and 22,300 barrels of Flour, without 3000 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. The supplies of other articles have been trifling. Duties hart been paid within the same period on 5540 qrs. of Wheat, 2400 qrs. of Oats, 1140 qrs. of Peas, and 13,651 bris. of Flour. The duty on Wheat advanced on Friday to 13s Bd per qr., on Oats Os 3d per qr., and was reduced on Bailey to lbs led per qr. There was a steady demand for Wheat and Flour on Tuesday, at about our last quotations, but the trade since has ruled dull, and at Friday's market an abatement of Id to 2,1 per bushel was submitted to on Foreign Wheat. American Flour did not move so freely, and prices were barely supported. New Oats have been in short supply, and remain unaltered in value : the finest dried would command 3s ad per 45 lbs. ; but of new Oatmeal there has been a Rood quantity which has been pressed for sale, and has fallen Os to 4s per load : the best was sold at 288 (id per 210 lbs., at Manchester, on Saturday. Old Oats have been in moderate request, and a cargo of Archangel has been retailed at Os 2tl to Os 3d per 45 lbs. No change as regards Barley, Beans, or Peas, with a very limited demand for each article. LONDON GAZE'n'E.- FRIDAY, SEPT. 25. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. E. Wainwright, C. shells, anti R.
