In health, with unpretending grace, In wealth, with meekness and with fear, Through every season wear one faie, And be in truth what I appear. " Then, should affliction's chastening rod Bruise my frail frame, or break my heart, Life, a sweet sacrifice to God, • Outbreathed in incense would depart.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS CATIONS BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENG LAND.—PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. (From the Oxford Herald.) lthough the blustering of the French press still inues unabated, and preparations for war are os atiously paraded, as if a rupture with this country 'ith all the world were unavoidable, it fortunately )ens that Louis Philippe is too prudent a statesman sk the existence of his own dynasty and the wel of his country, in an unnecessary war. The ran ' of his subjects against England is as fierce as —they still declare that war alone can vindicate national honour; but the King, although his part lifficult one, has declared himself determined to peace between two countries whose interests so many points identical. Neither state could thing by war, and it would have been indeed a disgrace to both if upon a question almost of mere etiquette a contest had been commenced, of which the results would have certainty _proved most disastrous, and of which no one could liave foretold the end.— Negotiation, the great resource of modern diplomacy, will now probably take the place of arms, and unless some untoward event, similar, perhaps, to that at Na varino, should take place, it seems almost certain that hostilities will be avoided. This contingency, however, is one to which many persons are inclined to fix a high degree of probability; and should such an event occur, there is no doubt but that the breach which only a week since looked so for midable, and which even now can scarcely be regarded as completely secured, would be at once rendered irre parable. Every one, we believe, knows that the French fleet in the Mediterranean has been gradually increased, from time to time, by fresh reinforcements both of ships and men, so that at present it amounts to nearly double the force which we possess in that quarter. h admiral has, of course, instructions from his respective government—each would be ready to exc.- cute his orders at whatever risk—and the chance is certainly not improbable, that in some one of the many operations upon the coasts of Syria and Egypt which each is charged to perform, a collision may, take place. Each officer is inflamed with the spirit of rivalry which must exist between the fleets of nations which were so many years opposed—and while the one burns to show that a French victory at sea is not impossible, even on the very spot where the flag of France sus tained perhaps its most signal defeat, the other will not be backward to re-assert the naval superiority of Eng land, and to show that, spite of every disadvantage, he ired to defend its honour. said that a hostile collision is not improba- still pre We hay ble—and when we consider the exciteable cI aracter of the French people, and the temptation which so vast a numerical superiority as they possess offers to induce an attack, no one can help reflecting what would be number of pf an engagement to the only fleet nearer 1 which we have at present afloat. The ships is small—the expense of their arma- ment would bias nothing compared with that of many of the frivolous commissions issued during the last one or two sessions of Parliament—and it would therefore be obviously, one would think, the duty of a ministry ke care that nothing should be neglected which could increase the efficiency of a force to which so much was to be confided. our precious Admiralty, a worthy portion of a worthy. ministry, done on the occasion carcely be believed, that of these few ships not one is more than half-manned, that not one has more than what is called the peace establishment, and that not one has on board even sufficient arms and ammu nition for a full complement of men, if the number should be increased. But what hay This is true whig economy ! This is the economy which produced such disastrous results in the co atest with America—and yet with all the experience which the country should have gained from the reverses of that period, our fleets are again sent upon a most im portant and arduous service in a state which renders them almost incapable of defence, much less formida ble in attack. Of all errors none can be more danger ous, none has proved more fatal, than that which ne glects due precautions from a contempt of the enemy's prowess. We rely, indeed, as we have every reason to do, upon the courage of our seamen, and we are con vinced that, few as they are, and acting under every disadvantage, they will nobly support the character a long series of victories. But is i or to the country to expose them to such ruinous otitis ? have earned 1 it just either to t It is painful eve n to contemplate defeat, but let us for a moment consider what would be the consequences if with twenty sail to nine, and those but half-manned, the French should gain a victory perhaps on the very scene of Nelson's triumph. The news arrives, war is niready declared, the prestige of success which had al ways hitherto attended our arms has vanished ; even if seamen could be procured no ships are ready to re ceive them, while in twenty-four hours a French fleet ould ascend the Thames, without a single vessel to pose its progress, or a single fort except old Tilbury, rich could fire a shot against it. We are no alarinists. We trust that no such na amity is impending ; but we would ask whe fit that England, on the brink of war with ce, engaged in actual war in India and in China, at issue with America upon a most important territorial question, and with large armaments on foot and larger 1 every other kingdom, should remain legs as she is at present ? Fleets and hitherto depend upon the chances of 1 fleet of war steamers, such as France has now in her harbours, could 'pour 100,000 men upon any point at a few hours' notice; and where, we must once more ask, is tha force to resist them ? The yeo manry, a body of Nen who have done the state good have been disbanded ; it is not thought safe to the militia ; and yet although the means of by land are wanting, our ships are rotting idly ges, and our coasts are left unprotected s do not as wind it were to t I an invading power. s the zesponsibility of those men to , s of the empire is entrusted, if this tate of 'thin WEST INDIAN MAIL STATION e report of the committee appointed by the Admiralty quire into the advantages afforded by the different ports le West Indian ►nails has been published in return to -of the House of Commons.

At length, however, the laughter ex ceeded all bounds, when the ducks were produced in court. " Quack, quack," excliimed the feathered bipeds. " Si lence," vociferated the javelin biped. As if despite of all rules of order and regulation of courts of law, the confined ducks again gave vent to " Quack, quack." Exasperated by this insulting , rejoinder, the crier again shouted as l ou d as be could bawl, Silence, I say." This was followed up im mediately by the before-heard " Quack, quack," and the judge, amidst roars of laughter, exemplified the old adage, " the weakest goes to the wall," by ordering the ducks out of court. • . Court at the \ ducks. Sever • A discovery of some importance was made on Saturday morning, by ascertaining that the water in the prisoner's chamber utensil contained a strong solution of alum, and is supposed to have been used in washing his shirt sleeve and pocket handkerchief, which he dried again by wrapping it round his body when in bed, and which was not quite dry when he was searched. It is said that the solution of alum is capable of destroying the colouring matter in blood, without staining the water. The soap used in it curdled and swam at the top and would not mix with it. You will see by the evi dence that a lump of alum was found in his pocket. The following particulars, relative to Misters, we have re ceived from a correspondent : ' BIRMINGHAM, To ESDAY.—Misters is most respectably connected here. One brother is a maltster, doing a most extensive trade. Another brother kept the Crown, in Lich field-street, here, with whom the prisoner lived for some time a gentleman's life, previous to which he was in the em ployment of Mr. Gooden, of the Nelson Hotel, Bull Ring, as shopman to the liquor shop belonging to that house. He has been a trouble to his brothers, and at one time the malt ster provided him with means to leave the country, which he squandered away. The Birmingham Journal communicates some facts, bear ing on this case, which we here append : it is said that the name of the maker on the razor found at Ludlow is " Eslin," with the words " east steel," and that Josiah Misters, the man in custody, is respectably connected and well known in Birmingham. There had been found in his lodgings here, by Mr. Sergeant Smith, a portmanteau, containing duplicates for the following articles, pledged in Birmingham :—trousers, trousers and waistcoat, coat, suit of clothes, two pair of drawers, two waistcoats, trousers, two brooches, and other articles ;. also several letters, addressed to him in Leominster ; together with a copy of depositions against him in the case of Thomas Wooding, above referred to, and which clearly proves that he is the same person whom the officers of Ludlow supposed him to he. He was charged on that occasion with having stolen three five-pound notes and three sovereigns, and was committed, at Leominster, by Thomas F. Watling, Esq., mayor, and Francis Woodhouse, Esq. None of the officers here knew whether he was con victed on the charge. The woman with whom he lodged in Canal-street, states that he came to reside with her about Easter, and remained with her until last Saturday week, when he left, without giving her any notice. She expected him home as usual every night, and kept his lodging for him, but had not heard any thing of him until the officers went to search the place. Tavern bills to a large amount were found amongst Misters' papers : one is for twenty-six pound eight shillings and fivepence halfpenny, together with bills for car riage and horse hire. Several articles of wearing apparel, &c., amongst which was ti white linen apron and some books, were found in his portmanteau. pottrp. THE MYRTLE BY JAMES MONTGOMERY, Dark green, and gemm'd with flowers of snow, With close, uncrowded branches spread, Nor proudly high, nor meanly low, A. graceful myrtle raised its head.

Then pluck'd a sprig; and, while I mused, With idle hands unconsciously The delicate small foliage bruised. Odours, by my rude touch set free, Escaped froin out their secret cells ; Quick life is thine," I cried, " fair tree ! In thee a soul of fragrance dwells. " What outrage, wrongs, nor death destroy, These wake its sweetness from repose ; ith! could I thus Heaven's gifts employ — Worth seen, worth hidden, thus disclose ! THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT LUDLOW, (From the Salopian Journal of Wednesday.) We subjoin the following letter, written yesterday, from a valued correspondent : LUDLOW, TUESDAY MORNING. — The excitement caused by the attempt to murder Mr. Mackreth is unabated, and the subject may be said to supply exclusive matter for conversa tion. Misters continues in custody, and will be brought up to the Guildhall to-morrow, when additional evidence will be brought forward. It is curious that Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Thos. Jobson, and Mr. Lakin have not yet been examined, though it is clear that their testimony is calculated to throw addi tional light upon this mysterious and horrible affair. The medical gentlemen report that Mr. Mackreth, the sufferer, is doing as well as can be expected. The wounds on his cheeks are in a way to heal soon, but the wound in his throat is dangerous. _ . . A superintendent of the Birmingham police came by the mail yesterday morning, and is making some judicious in quiries. He proceeds to Worcester to ascertain► the truth or falsehood of the prisoner's statement with regard to sleeping with a woman there, and also from whence the razor was obtained. The superintendent thinks the villagers and ped lars in the neighbourhood of Shrewsbury ought to be exa mined, as the razor evidently appears to be one of the kind they sell. MISTERS IN SHREWSBURY On August 9th, the Sunday before Shrewsbury Fair, (which took place on this day fortnight), the person who has been so much and so suspiciously mixed up in this lament able affair came to the Unicorn Inn, in this town. This was about four in the afternoon. He had no luggage, but brought with him a small brown paper parcel, tied round with red tape, which has since been ascertained to contain only a few papers and a light summer jacket, minus a few of its princi pal buttons and rather the worse for the wear. Having entered the Unicorn, he very speedily inquired of of the waiter whether Mr. Ludlow used that house? She said that he did. Misters then asked if he was in the habit of attending Shrewsbury fairs ? On being told that he was, Misters said " I know him very well and shall see him here." Mr. Ludlow arrived at the Unicorn on the next day, Mon day. Misters asked if he slept in a double-bedded room, and was informed by the chambermaid that he did. In point of fact, he did not, but a friend had tea with him on that even ing, and it was supposed that friend would occupy the second bed. _ . - - After Mr. Ludlow, his friend, and another gentleman had tea, on the Monday evening, Misters (who had been in the room with them) asked if he could have tea. Mr. Ludlow and the others left the room, and Misters then made particu lar inquiries from the waiter as to the number of the bed room occupied by Mr. Ludlow, but was not informed. On Tuesday night, Mr. Goodwin, of the Unicorn, (suspi cious from the appearance of Misters and his want of luggage, that he was running up a bill he had no means of paying,) took occasion to ask Mr. Ludlow it he knew him, and that gentleman denied all knowledge of him. On Wednesday, Misters dined at the farmers' ordinary at the Unicorn. In order to ascertain if he had any money, Mr. Goodwin desired the waiter to collect the cash after dinner. Misters told her to " put it down in the bill and fetch in a pint of sherry." She said it was customary to pay cash at the ordinary. Ile said he had no small change, and asked her if she had change for a £5 note, and on her answering in the affirmative, left the room, and enquired for his brown paper parcel. He enquired at the bar what Shrewsbury bank did business with the London and Westminster bank, and said that he had a .f.:50 bill which he wanted to get cashed. It turned out, however, that he had only a £lO acceptance, and when Mr. Goodwin's nephew accompanied him to various banks, none of them would cash it. On his return from his unsuccessful mission, he was accused by the landlord of hav ing come to his house without means of payment, and again he went out, accompanied as before, in quest of some Bir mingham person who knew him. He went to the Bell in the Abbey Forcgate, but did not there meet with an acquaint ance. At the Angel he was more fortunate, for there he saw some one who knew his brother, (a very respectable man) who keeps the George and Crown, John-street, Birmingham. To this brother Misters wrote, during the few minutes he was at the Angel, stating that he was " hard up," and entreating him to remit £5. He then returned to the Unicorn, where Mr. Goodwin sent him back to the room in which he had dined, and where the company were by this time pretty well acquainted with the purseless condition of this new Jeremy Diddler. It may readily be supposed, under such circum stances, and without any thing 'to drink, Misters' situation during the three or four hours he continued in that company was not very pleasant. In the evening, Mr. Goodwin threatened to deprive him of his coat, stock, and breast-pin, but, at the instance of Mrs. Goodwin, permitted him to retain them, and bade him leave the house. Here again he was indebted to womanly kindness, for at the solicitation of Mrs. G. he was allowed to remain that night. The next morning (Thursday) Mr. Goodwin charitably gave him breakfast, and Mrs. Goodwin let him have dinner. He loitered about the Unicorn yard until four o'clock, when he quietly went away, leaving his summer jacket behind him. His destination, as far as could be ascertained from what he said, was Leominster, and he said that at Ludlow he should put up at the Feathers Inn, with the landlord of whom he professed to be very intimate. He was respectably dressed in Shrewsbury, but had no change of linen. He wore a black stock, the ends of which covered his shirt in front. PROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT, Mr. Thomas Clarke, of Welsh Pool, a gentleman of high respectability, who has been in the habit for many years of attending our fairs, was at the Unicorn, in this town, the night previous to the last Shrewsbury Fair. Mr. Clarke has, we believe, without any exception, slept at his relation's in Mardol during his occasional sojourn at the fairs, except the last, when he observed to Mr. Ludlow that if they could have a double-bedded room to themselves, he (Mr. Clarke) would sleep at the Unicorn, whereby he should be earlier in the fair the following morning (Wednesday)—a proposition to which Mr. Ludlow cordially responded. The person who is supposed to have committed the horrible act at Ludlow was then in one corner of the room, but not joining in the conversation. Mr. Clarke thought him a most suspicious character, and, when the knowledge of the recent most hor rible attempt at murder and robbery was communicated to him, said he had not the slightest doubt that, had he not fortunately slept that night in the same room with his friend Mr. Ludlow, that night would the murderous attempt have been made. Mr. Clarke was at the time so rivetted to the suspicious appearance of the stranger, that from recollection he could pick him out from thousands of persons. JOURNAL OFFICE, HALF-PAST TEN, P.M A report prevailed in Shrewsbury, during this afternoon, that Mr. Mackreth had died of his wounds. We have just seen a gentleman who left Ludlow at eight o'clock, and are happy to learn from him that Mr. Mackreth's medical at tendants have every hope of his recovery, and expect that the wound in his throat will speedily unite. THE ROMANTIC INNKEEPER.-At Fochabers, Murray, the innkeeper, who retired from business this year, was originally a foundling, and never had a guess of his own his tory ; but all his life he annually received a blank cover con taining £5O. Now there is a ready made novel for you at once ! According to all the rules of romance, he must some day find himself out to beat least a peer. 1 wcnder what titles and estates will, unexpectedly, prove his?—Miss NEW RIDING HOUSE FOR DER MAJESTY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert have inspected the works now going on a t the new riding-house and stalls, for the e r ec ti ono of whic h parliament voted £70,000. Her Majesty and the Prince ex pressed themselves much pleased with the various arrange ments, and with the progress which had been made in the work. The architectural style of the building is in perfect keeping with that of the Castle. It is situated on the sonth western side of, and about 160 yards from, the Castle. The building is faced with Bath and Wyckham Heath stone, and its frontage 300 feet. The riding-house, the exterior of which is nearly completed, only the rooting being unfinished, which is just commenced, is 170 feet in length, 52 in width, and nearly 40 feet in height. On the right and left of the riding-house are extensive stables, surrounding large yards in the centre, for the royal ponies and the saddle and car riage horses. Another wing, farther to the left, is to be ap propriated for carriages. Numerous dormitories, for the use of the grooms and stable-keepers, will be built over the rid ing -house and coach-houses. At the entrance to the riding house, over the vestibule, a gallery is erected for the use of her Majesty and the court, commanding a view of its inte rior, which is approached by a spiral staircase through the right-band square tower, of which there are two, one on either side of the grand entrance. The riding-house will be com pleted and fit for the use of her Majesty before Christmas next. For Convenience and appropriateness the whole eco nomy of the building is most admirable, and the arrangements excellent. AYTOUN.

By the time the battle had thus raged for a few minutes, he had succeeded in laying three of the enemy dead at his feet ; when the other four, seeing their chance of victory desperate, beat a retreat. The victor, however, followed up his success, and killed another before they could reach the plantation. Th e little fell ow th en returned to the scene of action , deposited the slain in a bag, and carried them home to his mother as a trophy of his victory. In another part of our paper will be found a brief account of the melancholy death of three young gentlemen who were drowned while bathing at Seaforth. This day, at ten o'clock, the inquest was held at the Rim rose Hotel. Bootle, before John Hayes, Esq., coroner, and a highly respectable jury. After viewing the bodies at the cot tage of Mr. Bickersteth, at Seaforth, the jury re-assembled. Mr. Wm. Rawson, being sworn, said—" I am nephew to the Rev. Mr. Rawson, of Seaforth, and until lately was one of his assistants. lam at college, and was with him on a visit. The deceased, John Rawson, was son of Mr. Rawson. He was fifteen years of age last January. John Henry Bott was the son of John Bott, Esq., of Coton Hall, Staffordshire, and was, I believe, in his fourteenth year. Horace Augustus Bosanquet was son of Augustus Bosanquet, Esq., of Osage Hall, Southgate, Middlesex. On Wednesday last they went to bathe. The whole school went, to the number of about twenty. They went in on the north side of the Rimrose brook. It was about twenty-five minutes past nine in the morning, about an hour and a half before high water. They went, as usual, in machines. They had remained their usual time in the water, and I had called to them to come into the machines. I had been bathing with them, and had returned to the machine. They were in a straight line with the machine, and not more than twenty yards off. When I was going to put on my clothes, Mr. Christopherson, one of the tutors called to me, saying there was something wrong. I went out into the water arid saw a number of youths strug gling in the water. Mr. Christopherson, who was in one of the machines, jumped in with his clothes on. Two of the youths floated past me. I waded and got up to the chin in the water; I cannot swim. I was not aware of any hole or deep water. Mr. Christopherson took hold of the two, and I saw another, and got hold of him, and got him out. His name is Kirkman Finlay. Some had sunk. John Rawson, the deceased, could swim a little ; the others not at all. An attempt was made to rescue them by the other boys. The tide was running towards Liverpool. Their bodies were not found when the tide receded, until two and-a-half 'hours after. It is the usual place of bathing, or thereabouts where the machines were. I do not. remember that the boys ever got into a similar hole before. John Christopherson deposed :—I am tutor with Mr. Raw son. I went with the pupils to bathe, but did not bathe my self. I was in a machine in the water with them. We had two machines for the school. Some of them came into the machine from the water, and shortly after I heard a cry of help. I looked out and saw some boys floating with their hands up, but had no idea they were in deep 'rater. They were 20 or 25 yards off. I pulled my coat and waistcoat off and went in to them. I got hold of two of them. They were both black in the face, and much exhausted. I think they must have been under water, as their faces were covered with sand. The cry for help was from those who were saved. When I got to the machine I looked out for others. I saw three heads on the Bootle side of the brook, and thought they were some others of the school, but on getting up I found they wei e three men swimming. The boys of the school are never allowed to bathe alone. They are always attended by the tutors. I was not aware of any holes being there before, such as that which I have heard described. John Dixon, owner of the machines, said, I drove the young men into the water a good way to the north of the hole. I considered it a safe place where I took them in. They must have gone to the left to reach the hole. I have had machines for many years. I went in with my horse to try and save them, and went overhead. There are some holes on the shore. The shore and banks alter a good deal. Kirkman Finlay, one of the pupils of Mr. Rawson, at Sea forth, aged 13, in November last, ssaid, I was bathing with the others on Wednesday morning last. I went in the ma chine with Mr. Rawson. There were with us John Rawson, and H. A. Bosanquet. We remained the usual time in. Bosanquet went further out than the rest, and more to wards the south. He was a few yards from me. I saw him struggling in the water, and then he fell on his back. He then sunk, and rose again. lie sunk again, and I did not see him afterwards. We did not see Bott at all. Dun can, Plunkett, and John Rawson went with us to help Bo sanquet. When we got near we fell into deep water. Ba ton could swim a little. Mr. William Rawson took us Mr. John Rawson was endeavouring to save Bosanquet. After getting out of the pit I floated, and called out for help, and Mr. Wm. Rawson came to us. I never knew of the hole before. Ido not think we ever went so far to the south. John Henry Bailey, an assistant tutor, said—l was left on the shore with five of the junior boys, waiting for a machine. I beard an alarm, and was called, by Mr. Christopherson, and went in with part of my clothes on. I saw the machine man with his horse, which plunged in the water over head. I went the place where the boys sank several times, but could find nothing of the deceased, and having part of my clothes on bad some difficulty in extricating myself. _ _ Thomas Cunningham, of Copperas-hill, Liverpool, said— I am a plumber, and was on Mr. Muspratt's building when I saw ,the young men go down, I heard A scream, which called my attention. I went into a caravan with another person, undressed myself, and went into the water. I can swim well. We were in the water about an hour, endeavour ing to find them, but could not, and came out quite exhausted We went to Mr. Rawson's and got some refreshment, and we, in about an hour afterwards, went into the water again. I came to the place, while wading about, and thought the bodies would be there. I called for assistance, and we even tually found the whole three bodies nearly together. One of the young men who came felt one of the bodies, but it es caped him. I got hold of it. It was taken out by another person, and I soon after found another body between my legs. I soon afterwards found the third. They were re moved to the cottage belonging to Mr. Bickersteth, of Sea forth. I had bathed near the place before, but did not ob serve the hole, which might be four or five yards in diameter. Richard Balfour Reid said—l am a surgeon at Bootle. About nine o'clock I heard that three boys of Mr. Rawson's had sunk. I and others got a boat drawn to the spot, but did not recover the bodies, which were afterwards taken out. Great interest and caution was taken. There were about thirty persons so engaged. All possible means were used to endeavour to restore animation, by friction, warmth, &c., nor did they desist until all hope of success was at an end. No further evidence was considered necessary, and the jury found a verdict, that the deceased were accidentally drowned whilst bathing. At the request of the jury, the Coroner stated that he should communicate with Lord Sefton, by way of recom mendation, as lord of the manor of Litherland, to which the machines belonged, and with the authorities of the town ship, requesting 'them to procure a stake or post, to be found so as to denote the position of the mud hole, as a caution to parties who may hereafter bathe near the spot. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--THIS DAY. About 2000 quarters of Wheat, chiefly foreign, form the only arrivals into this port worth notice since Tuesday, hav ing scarcely any grain of other description, and no Flour whatever fresh in from abroad. The seasonable weather noted on Tuesday was interrupted by a recurrence of rain that evening ; and although Wed nesday was fine, last night was again extremely wet, with a close, warm, sultry atmosphere, unattended by any wind to counteract the injurious effects which a continuance for inme days could hardly fail to produce. The barometer this morning, however, is gradually on the rise, and the day has cleared up with a brighter aspect. The duty on Rye has fallen to 14s. per quarter, and re mains on all other foreign produce precisely the same as last week ; but inasmuch as that on Wheat and Flour is expected to recede further on Friday next, and bring the stocks in bond upon the free market, we have had little business pass ing in any branch of the trade , from Tuesday until to-day, beyond a few parcels of Wheat and Flour, under lock, on the terms last noted. At our Corn Exchange to-day, upon a limited attendance of country millers, the proceedings in foreign free Wheats were restricted to a moderate demand from needy buyers, at scarcely our last quotations ; and English as well as Irish were difficult of sale at rather lower prices. Bonded Mica& and Flour supported their previous value, and a few more parcels of each changed hands this morning. States Flour, duty paid, was in toterable request at the rates of Tuesday. Barley and Malt 'appeared to meet very little notice, and both were the turn cheaper.—Beans and Pease, attended with occasional sales, remained steady in value. Oats continue to move off very sparingly on rather lower terms •, and old Oatmeal, with hardly any inquiry, declined Is., while good new, from this year's produce, maintained 40s. per 2401b5.

A morning contemporary states that General Count Orloff has been appointed by the Emperor'Nicholas to the post of commander-in-chief of the armies now collected in the southern provinces of the Russian empire and the shores of the Black Sea. Count Orloff was the negotiator of the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. _ _ _ On Friday last Winkleigh and the neighbourhood were visited by one of the most tremendous thunder storms ever witnessed. A' poor boy, named Simon Down, who was living with his uncle, was ,t work with a horse in the field, when the electric flnid struck both him and the horse dead on the spot. His uncle, who was within ten yards of the boy when the accident occurred, escaped uninjured.—Western Luminary. At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Brandling Junction Railway, held yesterday at Gateshead, a dividend of £3 per cent. upon the half-year was declared, and a considerable sum carried over to the next account. — Newcastle Journal. The convict, Archibald Bolam, of Savings Bank murder notoriety, arrived safe at Sydney, New South Wales, in the early part of the present year. It is stated that he acted as schoolmaster and chaplain to his brother convicts, on the voyage out. —Netecolle Journal. It was recently announced at the meeting of a convocation, calling themselves " The Stockport Radical Association," and occupying a factory room in Bomber's Brow, that the gross receipts of the committee, after one night's sitting of three hours, for the especial purpose of receiving subscrip tions, amounted to the sum of twopence. It is said that the Admiralty intend in all future contracts with private companies for steamers to carry the mails, &c., to insert conditions that the vessels shall be built to receive guns and a war armament, which, however, are not required to be always on board in time of peace, but to be kept in readiness for service, to save time, should events render it necessary to convert them into war steamers. THE MURDER OF MR. TEMPLEMAN.—It has been de cided upon within the last day or two that the £2OO reward, which was offered by government for the discovery of the murderer of the late Mr. Templeman, is to bedistributed in the following manner :—Serge . ant OtWay, of the A division, is to have £lOO • Inspector Miller, of the N division, £5O ; and the remainder is to be divided amongst other witnesses, seven or eight in number. on Friday last, the trial of At the Gloucestershire Assizes, William Bowen, for the murder and robbery of Mr. Yar worth, of Piff's Elm, was agcin postponed to the next assizes, in consequence of the absence, from indisposition, of a mate ial witness for the prosecution. At the inquest held on the 'tidy, after the decease of Mr. Yarworth, a verdict of " wil ful murder" was returned against the prisoner, and the grand jury have also found a true bill against him for the saute offence. Sir Robert Peel, hart., M.P., returned to Drayton Manor on Thursday week, from a visit to the Duke of Rutland at Longshawe, Derbyshire. A select party was invited by his Grace to meet the right hon. baronet, who, of all the na tional sports of this country, alone finds amusement in his gun. As most of our readers are aware, Sir Robert is a first rate shot, and made, during his visit to Longshawe, great havoc among the feathery tribe. Lady and Miss Peel did not go with the right hon. baronet. It was with no light concern the clergy heard the Bishop St. Asaph announce in his late charge, that in all probability that would be the last time he should have to address them. The loss they should all sustain in that case came mourn fully upon them,—the loss of so much hospitality, benefi cence, and that needful advice which hitherto they have en joyed so abundantly ; and above all, that patronage of merit and long service which the aged curate has so often expe rienced at his lordship's hands.—Chester Courant. As •the quick train which left Carlisle at nine o'clock in the morning, on Wednesday last, was proceeding on its way to Newcastle, when near the Four Stones station, between Haydon Bridge and Hexham, one of the axles of a waggon loaded with luggage broke, in consequence of which the train was thrown off the rails,, and a man in the dress of a sailor had his thigh fractured, and another person his shoulder dis located. After a short delay, the passengers were taken on to Newcastle.—Carlisle Patriot. THE LATE BISHOP OF CHICHESTER.—This distinguished prelate, whose death we announced yesterday, died on Thurs day last at Broadstairs, after a short illness, at the advanced age of 72 years. The right rev. divine bad not been in the best of health some months ; but during the whole of the late parliamentary session was able to attend in the House of Lords. As a scholar he had few equals. Early in his career, lie became tutor to the sons of the late Sir Samuel Romilly, through the interest of whose family and connections, aided by his own talents, it is supposed much of his prosperity was owing. He was appointed the first principal of King's Col lege, London, where his biblical knowledge and excellent su perintendence of that seminary of learning were productive of the most beneficial effects. While holding that high and responsible office, he was earnest in his endeavours for its success, and untiring in promoting its exalted objects. From that station he was, in 1836, called to one still higher and more honoured, being then nominated Bishop of Chichester ; and, though little more than three years have elapsed since his appointment, numbers will remember his performance of its duties with affectionate regret and sincere respect for his superior character as a scholar and a Christian.--Standard. COACH ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Waterwitch coach left Bradford, for Leeds, having its full complement of 12 outside passengers, including the driver, Joseph Shires, and a lady and a gentleman inside. All went on right till within 100 yards of the Fleece Inn, in Stanningley, when suddenly, without any assignab'e cause, the pin by which the body of the coach is fastened to the forewheels, slipped from its place ' • and the consequence was, that the horses, going at the usual pace of about ten miles an hour, went forward with the forewheels, and the coach pitched forward, throwing the passengers in all directions, every one of whom was more or less injured, but happily none mortally. The driver, Shires, and a commercial gen tleman who sat on the box with him, were the most seriously injured. The former is now lying at his lodgings in Brad ford very ill, having been pitched upon his head,and the latter • is lying at the Scarborough Hotel in Leeds.—Manchester Guardian. BOULOGNE.—A meeting of the British residents of Boulogne has been held in that town, Lord Orantnore (lately Mr. Dominick Browne) in the- chair, for the purpose of voting an address of congratulation to the King of the French, on the occasion of his recent visit to Boulogne. The Earl of Coventry addressed the, meeting in a powerful and pleasing manner, and speaking of the King said, that if it were pos sible that there could be a single dissentient voice at the meeting, it would give way, if the individual could know all that be (the Earl of Coventry) knew of the excellence of that sovereign, with whom he had been acquainted when he was in adversity The address which follows was unanimously agreed 'to :—" We, the English residents and visiters of Boulogne, beg to offer to your Majesty our respectful and heartfelt congratulations on your; visit to this city, and to assure your Majesty that the want of information of your Majesty's intended levee alone prevented our having the honour of personally conveying them to your Majesty on the occasion. We also offer the same congratulations, and our best feelings of respect to your gracious majesty and other members of your august family. We respectfully thank your majesty for your kind solicitude expressed for our welfare. We hope your majesty may long live to reign over a gallant and generous people. We trust the friendly relations that have so long existed between your ma jesty's - government and our own country may not be weakened, and we beg in true earnestness of feeling to address to your majesty our own British acclamation, of " God save the King 1 " DEPARTURE OF THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE BEI.- GIANS.—On Monday morning, at ten minutes past seven o'clock, their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians and suite arrived at the Dock Yard, Woolwich, in two of the royal carriages ; the early hour of their departure from Windsor (four o'clock in the morning) having prevented their being attended by any of the Queen of England's household. ,The Widgeon steam-vessel, Master Commander J. Hamilton , was in waiting to receive the royal party, and they imme diately embarked, the signal being given by a royal salute from the field batteries of the royal artillery stationed in the Dock yard, under the command of Captain Mee. In con sequence of the band of the .King's royal rifles being required to march a division of the troops from the garrison to the steam-boats, at eight o'clock, on their way to Windsor, a company of the royal artillery. commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Cruttenden, and the excellent band of that regiment. formed the guard of honour. The tide being scarcely high enough at the time of their Majesties' arrival to float the vessel, the band, led by Mr. Mackenzie, performed for half an hour, until she was able to proceed, some of the finest airs. The King and Queen of the Belgians remained on the deck during the whole time, to the delight of a great number of persons who had assembled at that early hour for the par pose of witnessing their departure. When the vessel sailed the spectators gave three cheers which the King acknowledged by taking off his hat sever al times. The royal flag of Bel gium was hoisted. in the Dock-yard, and the national flag of Belgium on her Majesty's vessels in the river. His Majesty was very plainly dressed, with a white hat on, and appeared very fatigued and having the expression of a care-worn countenance.

Although the first part of the past week, as noticed in our last circular, was very rainy and unfavourable for the crops of grain, we have had fine weather ever since, and further than Impeding the progress of Harvest, now generally commenced throughout this district, it is believed that no great injury has as yet boen sus tained. Our market has continued pretty steady for Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal during the past week, but a small reduction was submit ted to in some instances on free wheat, flour and oats. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports was, as anticipated, re duced on Friday last 4s per quarter, say 6s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 4s per barrel, and on Oats to 3s 3d per quarter ; but in. creased to 12s 4d per quarter on Barley, Indian Corn and Buck Wheat ; without alteration on Rye, Beans and Pease ; it appears now very likely, that on Friday the 4th September, .the duty on Wheat will be further reduced to 2s 8d per quarter, and Is 7id per barrel on Flour, which prospect helps to cause a small depression on Free Wheat and Flour, and a small increase in the value of those articles in bond, at which several considerable parcels have re cently changed hands, and this will prevent the release for home use of bonded Wheat and Flour for another week 01 two. At this day's market, owing to the continuance of favourable weater and the decline in London yesterday, we experienced very dull sales for all kinds of free Grain, at a decline of about Is to Is per quarter, and of Is to Is 6d per barrel on Flour, and on Oatmeal per 1 olb ; of bonded Grain and Flour we can hardly alter quota tions.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AuG. 27 - There is less animation in the Butter trade, but prices are steadily upheld, and a pretty general opinion obtains that a considerable advance will take place ere long. Pickled Butter selling at pus, but p2s generally demanded. Beef continues much as reported in our last; whilst for Pork, an extensive enquiry is on foot, we be. lieve for the West Indies. The currency is very Ann. Bacon is a free sale, and stocks much reduced. LIVERPOOL_COItN. M A RKET, AUGUST 25 SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 26. The supply of stock to.day was rather better than that for the last fortnight. This, with the inability of the working classes to purchase animal food to the general extent, caused a rather heavy market ; and though the best beef, mutton, and lamb was not quotably lower, the trade was dull, and rather easier to buy, whilst inferior qualities must be noted as very heavy sale, and id per lb lower. A quantity of stock remained unsold. Best beef, lid to 6i ; middling, 5d to Sid ; best mutton, 6id to 7d ; ewes and middling, Sid to Sit. Best lamb, 64d to 7d; inferior, 6d to did per lb. sinking the offal. PRICES OF SHARES, AUGUST 27. Prices. This day Last RAILWAYS, &c. Per Share. Prices.
