LITERARY NOTICES. Eucharistica. Meditations and Prayers, with Select Pas sages, on the most holy Eucharist, from Old English Divines. With an Introduction by the Rev. Samuel Wil berforce. London : James. Burns. We should have been better pleased if the work before us had been designated " A Companion to the Holy Com munion." We have a decided objection to the use of terms, in reference to the ordinance of the Lord's Supper, which savour in the slightest degree of Popery. A strict adherence to the rubrics and formularies of our truly Protestant Church would have obviated this objection. However, the venera ble author of this excellent compendium has, on the whole, been exceedingly judicious in his selections. The prayers and meditations are taken from the writings of Dr. John Cobet, Archbishop Cranmer, Bishop Jewel, Dr. Hooker, Bishop Andrews, Dr. Sutton, Archbishop Laud, Bishop Hall, Bishop Hammond, Bishop Jeremy Taylor, Archbishop Leighton, Dean Breviat, Bishop Patrick, Archdeacon Addi son, Bishop Ken, Bishop Sparrow, Bishop Beveridge, Dr. Hickes, Dr. Comber, Mr. Kettlewell, Bishop Wilson, and Archbishop Potter. Compiled as it is from such authors, it cannot fail to be a source of edification to the devout Churchman. The Protestant Sentinel. Published under the Direction of the Liverpool Protestant Association. No. I. We rejoice to see the friends of Protestant ascendancy so generally availing themselves of the powerful aid of the press in their efforts to stem the progress of Popery. The little publication before us is admirably calculated to aid the good cause, by disseminating information on those subjects which fall under the peculiar cognisance of Protestant associations. We shall be glad to find the Protestant Sentinel extensively circulated among the industrious classes, for whose perusal it is chiefly intended. The contents of the first number are peculiarly interesting. The Kitchen Garden; with the best Methods for its Culti vation. By George Johnson. 3d Edition. London : Simpkin and Co.; Liverpool : Wareing Webb. This is one of the most useful works that has ever fallen into our hands. It ought to be in the possession of every one who has a patch of ground, fit for garden purposes, at tached to his residence. The author has carefully collected, condensed, and arranged all the information afforded by pre vious writers on the subject. Among the peculiarities of the work, we would particularly mention the arrangement of those plants and vegetables which require a similar soil and mode of treatment. This classification possesses very great advan tages, and considerably simplifies the task of reference. We may safely pronounce this excellent manual to be the most familiar and practical, as well as the cheapest work on the subject that can be procured. An Autumn Ratnble by the Wye. By Louisa Ann Timmley, Author of " The Romance of Nature." With Twenty Engravings, from Drawings by Copley Fielding, David Cox, &c. London : Charles Tilt ; Liverpool : Wareing Webb. This is a delightful work, introducing us to some of the most lovely features of our native land. The plates, which are twenty in number, are exquisitely engraved. The vig nette affords us a view of a rich and park-like character, from Goodrich Old Court. Following this we have a ro mantic view near Rhaiadr, where the Wye is almost lost in the umbrageous woodland scenery —a view of the ancient castle of Chepstow with the adjoining bridge—another view, from a remote point, of the same delightful locality, with the majestic Severn in the distance—two views of Tintern Abbey, that gorgeous relic of ancient magnificence —a view of the lovely and secluded village of Brockweir—a distant view of Monmouth—together with views of Ragland Castle. Coldwell Rocks, Ross, Goodrich Court and Castle, the city of Hereford, Hay, Builth, and Rhaiadr. Added to these, there are two well executed maps, showing the course of the Wye from Chepstow to Monmouth, and from Monmouth to Ross. The scenery through which this river flows, will bear a comparison with the most favoured spots on the continent. At every step the traveller who follows the meanderings of the Wye is reminded of the poetical descriptions of the far famed Vale of Tempe ; whilst every scene that meets his eye is replete with interesting historical associations. The fair writer who has condescended to become our guide through this romantic region of our fatherland has superadded the charm of her genius to the interest excited by its natural beauties. We long for an opportunity to set out upon an excursion along the banks of the silvery Wye, with this de lightful volume as our companion. A New System of Domestic Cookery; founded on Princi ples of Economy, and adapted to the Use of Private Families. By Mrs. Rundell. 64th Edition. London : John Murray, Albemarle-street. 1840. This edition of Mrs. Rundell's popular work has bee n remodelled, and improved by the edition of nearly one thou sand entirely new receipts, suited to the present advanced state of the art of cookery, by the well-known authoress, _. g , —.. v a Roberts.

By Commander H. M. Denham, R.N., F.R.S. Liverpool: J. &J. Mawdsley ; London : R. B. Bate, Poultry. 1840. This is one of the most elaborate works of the kind that has ever fallen under our notice. It cannot fail to be appre ciated by all who are interested in nautical affairs. It is the result of a series of laborious marine surveys and successful experiments, carried on during a number of years, under the mmediate superintenderice of Capt. Denham—a gentleman well known to all who are interested in the commerce and navigation of the thriving port of Liverpool. The surveys which he has made have materially extended our knowledge of this and the adjacent coasts, and of the channel entrances to our harbour. The long series of experiments which he carried on in the various channels leading into this port, has resulted in increased facilities of access to the river, and en abled him to suggest a number of improvements of the most important character, which we hope will be hereafter acted upon. It is no exaggeration to say, that Capt. Denham has done more than any other individual towards removing the difficulties presented in the navigation of the Mersey chan nels. His careful survey of the western coast, especially of that part in Which the merchants of. Liverpool are most deeply interested, has been eminently successful, and has secured for him the lasting gratitude of the public bodies of the town. The volume before us embodies the result of Captain Denham's laborious and praiseworthy exertions. The work is primarily designed for the instruction of mari ners ; but it contains many valuable suggestions which will merit the attention of the mercantile community at large. We have already laid before our readers a summary of Capt. Denham's suggested improvements. The letter-press part of the work before us abounds with copious and accurate instructions, whilst the plates and charts, &c., are beauti fully and elaborately executed. No merchant or captain connected with the port of Liverpool should remain content without possessing a copy of this excellent work. The Flower Fadeth. Memoir of Sarah J. I. W. Alexander, eldest Daughter of the Rev. M..s'. Alexander. Written by her Father. Second Edition. London : B.Werthehn, 14, Paternoster-row. 1840. Tbis is an affectionate tribute to the memory of a truly pious and beloved daughter, frotn the pen of the learned Professor of Hebrew and Rabbinical Literature in King's College, London. The subject of this interesting and in structive memoir, though young in years, was a mature Christian, rich in the graces of meekness, humility, and ardent devotedness to the cause of the gospel. The work is written in a style of great simplicity. This is calculated to render its perusal highly profitable to the young. It abounds in highly touching and affecting passages. The close of this young Christian's career was eminently triumphant. The appendix contains several very interesting letters addressed to the father on the occasion of his bereavement. We would particularly recommend this little book to such of our read ers as have young families. Christian Literature. A Course of Sermons for all the Sundays of the year, By Jeremy Taylor, D. D. Part I. Edinburgh: A. and C. Black ; Liverpool ; C. Davies and Co. This is another admirable addition to the series of works which we have already noticed with so much satisfaction. It•is quite refreshing to meet with the nervous and vigorous works of Jeremy Taylor, among these re-publications of our standard theological authorities. We know of no author, in any language with which NI e are acquainted, whose produc ductions will sustain a comparison with those of the eloquent Bishop of Down and Connor, either as respects originality of conception, classical chasteness of style, boldness of thought, or gorgeousness of imagery. The sermons before us have been long celebrated as specimens of the most ele vated and impassioned oratory. They constitute the best exemplars that can be recommended to the young preacher; while their practical tendency, in the inculcation of religious duties, renders them of inestimable value to the private christian, for whose especial benefit they were originally composed. Horse Sacrce. A Manual of Prayers and Meditations for Private Use. London: James Burns, 17, Portman-street. This delightful little work constitutes an excellent pocket companion to the devotional christian. It contains a selec tion of meditations and ejaculations, prayers for every morn ing and evening in the week, prayers suited to the solemn commemorations of the church, prayers and thanksgivings suited to various occasions, meditations on select passages of the Holy Scriptures, godly resolutions, and some exqui site specimens of devotional poetry. The whole of these sacred exercises are extracted from the works of Bishops Andrews, Ken, Taylor, Patrick, Cosin, Wilson, Beveridge, Doane, Mant, and Heber; and from the writings of Nelson, Kettlewell, Hickes, Spinckes, Becon, Southwell, Herbert, Keble, Grinfield, Norris, and Sandys. The whole of these extracts display a feeling of deep and fervent piety, and are, with some trifling exceptions, characterised by sound ortho dox opinions. The exceptions to which we have alluded are taken from authors who have too great a leaning towards the Laudian school of theology. economy in atts . mitifariskis branch es, ind mAy fairly be said to include every thing that is important on the subject. Our " good lady," to whom the publisher has addressed the work for review, bestows upon it her most hearty commenda tions, as a Innuum in parvo of all that appertains to the mysteries of cooking. Independently of the ample direc tions which it furnishes on this important subject, it contains copious instructions respecting the management of poultry, the dairy, and other matters of equal interest to the careful housekeeper. No young lady should be without this book. It should form one of the first presents from a lover to " his intended." A Brief View of the English Drama, from the Earliest Period to the Present Time. By F. G. Tomlins. Lon don : C. Mitchell, Red Lion Court, Fleet-street. 1840. We had great pleasure in noticing a former work from the talented pen of Mr. Tomlins, on " the Past and Present State of Dramatic Literature," to which the work before us forms an admirable sequel. The author has brought to his task a mind well stored with classical lore, and a taste culti vated by an acquaintance with the best standards of English literature. With such qualifications he could scarcely fail in producing a work entitled, as the one before us is, to the best consideration of every lover of the legitimate drama. He has introduced into the little tome under notice a mass of interesting information of an historical character, and offered many invaluable suggestions on the present condition of the dramatic art, with a view to its elevation and that of its professors. The subjects upon which he has dilated include the classical drama—the romantic drama—the modern drama—the state of the English stage—the metropolitan drama—the patent theatres—legal enactments affecting the drama—and a variety of other topics of the same character. WEST INDIA MAILS. The following is abridged from the contract entered into by the Admiralty, with the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, for the conveyance of the Mails to the West India Islands: — By the articles of agreement the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company are required to provide and maintain, in constant readiness, not less than 14 steam-vessels, of 400 horse power, and capable of carrying guns of the largest calibre now used on board of her Majesty's steamers ; and also four sailing vessels of 100 tons burthen. A steam-vessel is to start twices month from some port in the channel, to be determined on by the admiralty, with the mails to Barbadoes, there remain six hours and proceed to Grenada, stay there twelve hours, then on to Santa Cruz, St. Thomas, Nicola Mole, in Hayti, St. Jago de Cuba, and Port Royal, in Jamaica. After remaining there 24 hours, to proceed to Savannah la Mar, in the same island, and thence to the Havannah. The steamer is to remain there 11 hours, and with the mails from home, return by Savannah la Mar, Port Royal, St. Jago de Cuba, and Nicola Mole, to Samana, in Hayti, (which is to be accomplished on the 22nd day after the arrival of the mails at Barbadoes,) and thence to England direct. The steamer from England is to meet with a similar vessel at Barbadoes, which will proceed with the mails to Tobago, Demerara, Berbice, and Paramaribo ; there remain 48 hours, and return by the same route, with the exception of calling at Grenada. After leaving Tobago, this vessel is to arrive at Barbadoes in time for the next packet from England. On the arrival of the English mail at Grenada, it will be met by two steamers, one of which will proceed by Saint Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominico, Gaudaloupe, Antigua, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Kitts, Santa Cruz, Tortola, St. Thomas, Porto Rico, Samana, Curacoa, Porto Cabello, La Guayra, and Trinidad, back to Grenada in time for the next mail from England. The other steamers will proceed by Trinidad, La Guayra, Porto Cabello, Curacoa, Jamaica, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, Tortola, Santa Cruz, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua, Guadaloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent, back to Grenada also in time for the next mail from England. _ _ On the arrival of this last steamer at Curacoa, a sailing vessel is to start from thence to Santa Martha, and Cartha gena, there remain 24 hours, and return to Curacoa by the same route. On the arrival of the English mail at Nicola Mole, in Hayti, a sailing vessel is to proceed with the Bahama mails by Crooked Island and Ruin Island, to New Providence; there remain 72 hours, and return by the same route to Nicola Mole, in time to meet the steam vessel from Jamaica. On the arrival of the English mails at Port Royal, another steam-vessel is to proceed to Chagres, and return by Car thagena and Santa Martha to Port Royal, in time to meet the return mails from Havannah. At Savannah la Mar a sailing vessel will take on board the mails for Trinidad de Cuba and Belise, there to remain 48 hours, and again return to Savannah la Mar by Trinidad de Cuba. At Havannah three steamers will meet the English mail, one is to go round the Gulf of Mexico, by Vera Cruz, Tam pico, and Mobile, back to Havannah, in time for the next mail; another by Mobile, Tampico, and Vera Cruz, to Havannah, likewise in time for the next mail. The third is to proceed to Matanzas, New York, and Halifax, returning by the same route also for the next mail. At all places except those specified, the steamer remains no longer than to land or receive mails; and the Admiralty have power to alter the routes and time of staying, by giving three month's written notice to the company. The company is also required to make whatever improvements in the steam machinery, the Admiralty may direct. Provision is also made for the proper accommodation of a naval officer, who is to have charge of the mails, and a proper boat, with four oars, supplied for embarking and landing them. Delaying to start from England, or putting back, except by stress of weather, or unavoidable circumstances, is to be visited with a penalty of XlOO ; should the delay extend to 12 hours £500; and a like sum for every additional 12 hours. Delays between all other places are to be paid for at the rate of £2OO for 12 hours. The naval officer in charge of mails is to have the power of surveying the vessel, and any repairs that he may suggest, which are not made good at the first opportunity, to subject the Company to a fine of £lOO ; and employing a vessel after improvements or repairs are ordered in her by the Admiralty, through one of the officers, will incur a penalty of £5OO ; all such fines to be deducted from the money payable to the Company. Provision is also made for the conveying in each vessel, of not more than two naval, military, or civil officers, as cabin passengers, two persons as fore-cabin passengers, and ten seamen or marines, at two-thirds the usual passage money, besides sundry small packages from place to place, free of all cost. For doing such service, the Company is to receive £240,000 per annum, by equal quarterly payments, to com mence at the end of three months after the first steamer has started for Barbadoes ; and should war or any national cause increase the rates of insurance on these steam-vessels above £6 6s. per cent. per annum, the freight of coals above £1 2s. 6d. per ton, and the insurance on them above £2 2s. per test, the Lords of the Treasury are empowered to grant an additional sum, according to circumstances, but not to exceed £60,000 per annum. The contract is to commence on the Ist December, 1841, but should it be agreed to perform a part of this service be fore that time, an allowance at the rate of £20,000 per an num, is to be made for each steam vessel employed. The whole contract is to continue 10 years, or longer ; but either party is to give twelve months' notice, in writing, before with drawing ; and the Treasury, in the event of war, have full power to employ the whole of the Company's vessels in any service they may think proper. For the proper performance of this Contract, the Com pany is bound in the sum of £50,000. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—There was a slight increase in the demand yesterday, consequent upbn the re-opening of the canals, and the re-establishment of the communication with London, and a tolerable business was done in some descriptions of cloth for the home trade ; but in other respects, the market was flat, and prices continue to droop. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 22. There is no improvement in the demand for flannels to-day, and the quantity of goods sold is about the saire as that of last Monday. Iu the prices there is no change. The wool market has been dull, and the sales limited. The price of fine wools is rather giving way. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 23.—Our report of this market last week was gloomy, and there is little change for the better. However, it is satisfactory to state, that prices are firm, and buyers are disappointed who expected to pur chase at a lower rate. The fact is, great caution is exercised in production, and prices have been so low for a long period, that the manufacturer will stop his works rather than submit to greater sacrifices. Even if wools fall, prices are not likely to recede; and should a favourable change take place, a rapid rise is anticipated. Sales in the hall are not extensive. To judge of the state of trade, we must look to the warehouses and shops, where a pretty extensive but almost profitless business is doing. Wools are heavy of sale at last week's prices.—Manchester Guardian. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

" These general views are thrown out for consideration and advice. The only grand principle which can never be de parted from is, a home and its comforts for aged, decayed, or disabled seamen not otherwise provided for. With thankful ness will any suggestion be received, and with cheerfulness adopted to alter and amend any part of the plan. Already individuals of distinction have expressed their determination to support the object by every means in their power. When a sufficient number to form a general committee have signi fied their adhesion to that object without being expected to adhere to the plan as sketched out, they will be called to gether, and asked to elect a council or board of management from among themselves of qualified members." ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. (From the Oxford Herald.) THE REV. J. BLACKWELL, B.A. In the Herald of the 30th ult. we announced the death of he Rev. J. Blackwell, B.A. of Jesus College. We have since been favoured with the following account of the de ceased by a gentleman in this University:—ln 1823, Mr. Blackwell was presented to the Rectory of Manerdivy, by Lord Brougham, then Lord High Chancellor of England. The living was given him without any application on the part of Mr. Blackwell. His lordship, ever ready to patronize men distinguished for their talents, having heard of Mr. Blackwell's fame as a Welsh scholar, and also of his being an able, eloquent, a n d p ower f u l preac h er, was delighted in having it in his power to confer this benefice upon him. On receiving the presentation, Mr. Blackwell wrote an excellent letter of thanks to Lord Brougham, with which his lord ship was so pleased that he used frequently to speak of it among his friends with rapture of delight. Few could excel Mr. Blackwell as a letter-writer; and it was no wonder that shortly a ft er wr iti ng to Lord Brougham, his lordship fixed upon him, and afterwards engaged him, to undertake the editorship of the Cylchgrawn, a Magazine, on the plan of the " Penny Magazine," published by the Society for diffusing useful knowledge. The Cylchgrawn was conducted with great ability ; and it will remain a lastin;; monument of Mr. Blackw e ll' s grea t comman d o f t h e W e l sh language. His translations from the English are perfect models worthy of being imitated. They contain the purest Welsh ; and in them is not lost the spirit and vigour of the originals. In no modern publication is to be found language superior as to elegance of style or purity of diction. There is, it must be confessed, about his style of writing some kind of witchery that captivates the reader ; a something that pleases and delights him beyond the power of almost any other writer of the present day to do the like. Having formed a clear and correct idea himself, Mr. Blackwell could convey the same to others in words the most simple, choice, and appropriate that could be found. His sentences flow like a strong majestic stream, carrying the reader along with delightful pleasure. Not only did Mr. Blackwell succeed as a prose writer, but also as a poet. His national air to the tune Ar hyd y nos; and his elegy on Bishop Heber are master pieces; and if some kind and patrotic friend would but un dertake to collect his poetical pieces together, with a selection from his many prose compositions and publish them, he would not only be paying a just tribute to his memory, but also be conferring a lasting obligation on all lovers of Welsh Literature. Mr. Blackwell was afflicted with long illness, first occasioned by too close an application to the Cylchgrawn, which, in addition to his parochial duties, gave him no time for recreation. Under his heaiy afflictions, however. he ex pressed perfect submission to the will of Heaven, and evinced throughout great christian resignation. PROMOTIONS. Rev. J.

(From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.) It is not often that we have a subject to handle so full of gratification to our readers and ourselves as the one which has this day been brought before us. We allude to a circular we have seen accompanying a design for the erection of an institution for aged, decayed, or otherwise helpless merchant seamen, with collateral objects, of protecting those who are in employment from crimps and " land sharks," and con stituting the whole, not a matter of charity, but a matter of property —a home and an hospital —a savings' bank and an insurance office—a right and a refuge for merchant seamen for ever. In the circular sketching this magnificent project, the in tended institution is denominated " A Second Greenwich Hospital ;" suggesting the notion that it is proposed to be for the merchant service what Greenwich Hospital has been and is for the King's service. We do not altogether approve of this comparison. The asylum of Greenwich is entirely elee mosynary, whereas that of the merchant seamen is to be suf ficiently proprietary to enable its inmates to feel the consci ous pride of having partly worked out their own comforts, to the exclusion of those whose imprudence or profligacy has disabled them from so doing. Moreover, Greenwich Hospi tal is in no way cnntributary to the other scarcely less excel tnt feature, of protecting the seamen from the Jew and Gen tile scoundrels who lie in wait for them at every turn. As we perceive that the circular very modestly invites cri ticism, and solicits suggestions from friends to its benevolent and patriotic objects, we make these remarks in limine, being satisfied that under whatever name it may be called, or to whatever institution compared, the great national results that will naturally flow from it, and the support which all parties in the state will be likely to give it, are calculated to insure for it that success which it so eminently deserves. We do not know who the parties are to whom reference is made as having signified their approbation of the scheme, neither can we offer an opinion as to the plan of raising the capital for the building by the sale of terminable annuities. But no doubt the latter will be well considered before it be acted upon ; and as to the former—agreeing as we do with Lord Bacon, that " measures without men are dead images"— we hope soon to see such names advertised as will give the world assurance of success. We mean no reflection upon the names attached to the cir cular—on the contrary, we happen to know that the gentle man signing it has never failed in the public undertakings in which he has been engaged ; and we anticipate that in this — the greatest and the best—all that ardent energy and un tiring perseverance can effect will be effected. The following is extracted from the circular : " PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS OF THE MERCANTILE MARINERS' HOME AND HOSPITAL. To BE ERECTED AND PROVIDED FOR IN TILE FIRST INSTANCE BY A CAPITAL OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS, SUSCEPTIBLE OF A PERPETUAL INCREASE BOTH BY PROPRIETORS AND DO NORS, OWNERS, AND SAILORS.—The great leading objects of this national undertaking are, to provide a second Green wich Hospital for seamen not in the royal service—to erect a species of insurance in life against age, illness, or accident— to offer an inducement, unparalleled in any other country, to our commercial mariners not to be tempted to enter into the service of America or other States, where no such provision is, or can be made—and, in an especial degree, to cultivate habits of prudence in those who hitherto have been prover bially imprudent, by offering them for a very small portion of those earnings (generally sacrificed to intemperance or to trickery) a noble institution, food, clothing, and lodging, of an adequate income to enjoy each; and the whole conferred, not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of property, being at once The seaman's refuge and right.' " All these things are of easy accomplishment. The sailor, should he live to be fifty years of age, and have paid his quota of the insurance, may calculate on receiving at least ten times the value of the amount he has paid ; partly by the accumulations of compound interest—partly by the deaths of those who pay but do not live to enjoy —partly by the joint subscriptions of owners and merchants—partly by the contri butions of the patriotic and philanthropic, many of whom are ardently disposed to assist this institution—and generally from the nationality of its character and objects. " In addition to these sources of income and objects of utility, it is contemplated to add to the profits, and at the same time protect the mercantile seamen from those whom he most emphatically and most truly calls ' land sharks,' by uniting the benefits of a saving bank and a loan institution to the other, and more important features of the plan. " It is proposed that a large proportion of the original ca pital shall be devoted to th erection of the building upon some site near the Thames, and that the whole of the pro prietary capital, amounting to £500,000 shall be raised by the sale of terminable annuities for sixty years, at seven per cent. per annum interest, redeemable at the market price, when above par, by the trustees of the institution at their option ; and when the whole are redeemed, or have expired, the en tire property to belong to British mercantile mariners, and their successors, as a home and an hospital for ever. " It will be necessary in the construction of the building to divide it into classes ; hence, under the sanction and super intendence of the ablest and the best practical men, all dis orders will be avoided, and station and position in society will be preserved to meet the views, as well as to•secure the comforts, of the occupants. " Parliament will be applied to for an act, or the govern ment for a royal charter to limit the responsibility of those who may take shares as proprietors. Of course, bequests, donations, or annual subscriptions, create no risk, and hence require no protection—the latter it is hoped will furnish a very large, and constantly increasing proportion of the funds of the institution, which, in addition to the small payments by the sailors themselves, who shall in all cases have a lati tude of at least two years to make up their deficiencies, will in time dispense with the necessity of proprietorship altoge ther. In 1900, if not before, the institution will belong to the nation. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o'clock. EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD IN THE UNITED STATES. The Georgian, of June 3, contains a long account of a great flood which visited the neighbourhood of Augusta and Ham burg. The rain which fell on Sunday swelled the river Savannah several feet, and the earth having been completely saturated by the many rains which bad fallen during the last few weeks, both of its banks were torn up. The Augusta side was swept clear of its wharfs, only fragments of one or two of them re maining. The upper bridge was totally destroyed with the exception of two piers. The whole face of the country has been torn up; bridges and fences all swept away, gardens and crops destroyed, and great numbers of cattle and hogs drowned. The total loss in Hamburg will amount to at least half a million of dollars. The damage done to the Georgian railroad would for a time prevent the carriages coming to the depot. Not one life was lost in this unparalleled calamity. The rise in the river was 35 feet above low water mark. (From the Charleston Courier of May 29.) The cars from Hamburgh brought intelligence that a ter rible freshet had caused a rise in the Savannah river, to such an extent as completely to submerge the town of Hamburgh. The two bridges were carried aw a y on Wednesday. There had been no communication with Augusta after the same date. The cars frnm Charleston could not reach within two or three miles of Hamburgh. The rail-road had sustained considerable injury. Horses, cattle, cotton, and every kind of goods were floating in all directions. During the night of Wednesday the cries and supplications of the inhabitants were beard from the hill, and fears were entertained that many lives would he lost. Disastrous accounts are looked for from the plantations below, particularly from the rice fields above Savannah. The goods from the stores at Hamburg were floating in all directions. The water rose in a few hours, on the 27th of May, nearly 8 *et perpendicular. The scene is described as most awful. The Savannah river has never been so high since the Great Yazoo freshet of 1796. (From the Augusta Chronicle of May 28.) The rains which have fallen in the Savannah in the early part of this week up to Wednesday, have produced the great.. est rise in the Savannah since 1796, and those of our citizen s who saw that flood say that the body of water is much greater than at that time. The damage produced on planta tions, both above and below this city will be immense, and the destruction of property incalculable. The grow in:- crops have, no doubt, been entirely destroyed. The damage done in this city cannot be ascertained for some days. Our city is now an island, and the water on the back commons is from two to six hundred yards wide, cutting off all communication with the adjacent country in every direc tion. A six-oared boat can pass without difficulty through several of our streets. Many families have been obliged to retire to the upper stories of their dwellings, and several houses have fallen down, having been undermined by the water. (From the Augusta Chronicle of May 30.) The river has continued to rise at a fearful rate. To at tempt a description of a calamity so awful would be worse than vain. About 12 o'clock on Wednesday night the city was completely submerged, and the river continuing tcrrise. The scene was a painful one. Many families were still in their houses, entirely surrounded by a current to them im passable without aid, and the water makes rapid inroads upon them. From this fearful and alarming situation they were relieved by boats and horsemen, not, however, in some instances, until they were up to their necks in water. When the day dawned our city appeared as if standing in the midst of a vast sea of water, which extended as far as the eye could reach from the highest eminence. Boats capable of carrying forty bales of cotton were floating through the streets. Our beautiful Broad -street was two to ten feet deep. This morning the water has fallen so as not to flood the city, ex cept in one or two instances. The destruction of private property is great ; many wooden buildings h lia been entirely swept away, and several brick buildings have fallen. The cellars are nearly all filled with water. (From the Charleston Patriot of May 30.) The Columbia canal of seven miles in length is supposed to be entirely destroyed. All the large plantations below us are covered with water, and the crops ruined. Col. Hamp ton's large plantation, which is the highest of any on the ri ver, is one sheet of water; the destruction must be immense. Cotton which had been stowed on high ground was floating down the canal. LANCASTER AND PRESTON JUNCTION RAILWAY. This day (Friday) the above line of railway, which joins the North Union line at Preston, and thus forms a continu ous line of railway from London to the county town, is opened to the public for the conveyance to passengers, &c. The day originally fixed upon was Whit-Monday, but Mr. Locke, the engineer, was not satisfied as to its being safe', and a post ponement of a few days was considered desirable, but the subsequent falling of a bridge at Myerscough rendered a fur ther delay necessary. Yesterday was fixed upon for the directors and their friends to make an experimental trip, and in the morning an engine of the North Union Company, and four empty carriages, went from Preston—the first that had passed the entire distance. About half-past eleven, eleven carriages, drawn by two steam-engines (the " Victoria" and " Prince Albert"), left Lancaster with an extremely " heavy load," and arrived in Preston in about an hour. At one o'clock this train was increased by four carriages containing Preston gentlemen, and the whole force set off to Lancaster. Upon their arrival a splendid dinner was prepared, where the directors of the Lancaster and Preston, the North Union, the Liverpool and Manchester, the London and Birmingham, and the Grand Junction lines, several gentlemen of Lancaster and the neighbourhood, and some gentlemen from Preston, sat down ; G. Burrell, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. Every article was served in Profusion, and champagne, claret, madeira, port, sherry, &c., added their sparkling charms to the festive board. Ample justice having been done to the dinner, the four carriages which had been attached to the train at Preston were dispatched homewards, and arrived in 55 minutes the distance being upwards of twenty mil es . , At both ends of the line flags were floating, and every bridge that crossed the line was crowded with persons, whose shouts welcomed the crowded trains. At every gate on the side of the line a cheer was raised, and at Lancaster many of the shops were closed, and the day considered a holiday. We are happy to state that not a single accident occurred to mar the pleasures of the day, and all passed off to the satis faction of directors, proprietors, passengers, and spectators. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—THis DAY, From the close of our first market this week until to-day, the Wheat trade was firm, with some inquiry for holding over and a slight tendency in prices to improve, but without any actual sales of moment.--Arnerican free Flour, upon a moderate demand, fully maintained its previous value, and about 4000 barrels in bond changed hands at 25s 9d.: all other articles at the same time remaining stationary. Our supplies Coastwise and from Ireland continuing to fall off weekly, and having very little produce fresh in thence for to-day, we have become almost wholly dependent upon Fo reign Grain and Flour, of which the arrivals since Tuesday contain 5200 qrs. Wheat, with a few small parcels of Barley, Oats, and Pease from Europe ; and from the American States nearly 1000 quarters of Wheat,and 7527 barrels of Flour, in addition to the stocks in granary; which, although regularly disappearing into consumption, are sufficient to serve the demand for some weeks to come. In consequence of the weather having been cold and stormy of late, and thoroughly wet to-day, holders of Wheat required an advance this morning of ld. to 2d. per 70 lbs. upon the improved rates of Tuesday ; but having a very slender at tendance of buyers, the amendment was not freely or gene rally obtained, and the transactions on the whole were by no means extensive.

There has been a good demand for Cotton to-day; the sales e 4,000 to 5,000 bags, including 500 on speculation ; the ma rket steady. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 23. The Butter market has for some days been extremely dull, and prices have a downward tendency —Beef and Pork in good demand, principally however for ship stores.—Bacon continues to move off freely at full rates. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 23. (From the Circular of Alessrs. James Scott and Son.) Having in our circular of the 2nd instant, noticed that the motion of Mr. Villiers, for a " Consideration of the Corn Laws," was nega tived in the House of Commons, on the 2tith ult. by a majority cf 123, in a house of 477 members, we now think it proper to record the rejection of a similar motion of Earl Fitzwilliam, in the House of Peers, on the 11th instant, by a great majority ; 127 members present, and 67 proxies against the motion, and 34 present, 8 proxies for it.—On this subject we can only repeat, and refer to the observa tions we made in that circular letter. During the past week the imports of Wheat and Flour from Foreign ports have been considerable; but of all Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastwise, they have been very mode rate ; the weather, though not very forwarding, being rather cold and rainy, has continued pretty favourable for all agricultural pro duce, and the demand has continued to a fair extent for Wheat and Flour, at an increase in prices of 2d to 3d per 701 b. on most descrip tions of the former, and of 3d to 6d per barrel and per sack on the latter ; while for all other articles our last quotations have been ob tained here and in all our surrounding markets. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has, as anticipated, been increased since Friday last to 18s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 11 s 212 per barrel ; previous to which day, since the commencement of this month, duty was paid here on about 49,500 quarters Wheat, and on about 54,000 barrels of Flour, leaving still in bond here on the 18th instant, about 75,000. quarters of the former, and about 97,000 barrels of the latter, held over by many importers steadily, in the expectation of a speedy reduction of the duties, and under which prospect, also, a large quantity of both articles in bond has recently changed hands at a small advance; there is no alteration in the unties. or in the value of other kinds of Grain. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of our own millers and dealers, and by many from distant markets ; the decline in London, yesterday, prevented any further advance in prices, and curtailed the demand, which would probably otherwise _have oc curred, but sales were made to a moderate extent of Wheat and Flour, at about the advance above-noted; and the first imports of Flour from Canada and Halifax found sales at 368 to 36s 3d,per barrel ; for all other articles the usual moderate demand occurred, with little or no variation in prices from last week.
