(From the Mornittg Herald.) Few things are calculated to impress an Englishman with a lower estimate of the intellect of Roman Ca tholic Ireland, than the influence exercised by such a person as Mr. Daniel O'Connell. The man has little to recommend him, excepting the possession of a large measure of physical energy. His eloquence (Heaven save the mark !) is of the most bald and vulgar de scription. His jokes, his pathetics, his stirring appeals —or what are meant as such—are all stereotyped. They occur in every harangue which he delivers. His life is - in grinding the same notes in the same mariner 'ittle rhetorical hurdy-gurdy. His one tune is ~over a bad one, and badly played. Phis wretched impostor has been, for the last six '-s, babbling about a repeal of the union ; and the • , rould seem to possess deep attractions for his -s. Daniel has, it is true, played .Lnd loose with this subject often before ; but there is in the bare mention of it, even by faithless lips, something infinitely seductive to the hereditary enemies of England. Yet, by a repeal of the union—if no thing more than Daniel and his partizans avow—were intended, Ireland would, assuredly, prove a loser to a fearful extent. If the union were repealed—if the no- Aity and gentry of Ireland were again collected in )üblin—Daniel and men of his stamp would (on the sumption that property was to be allowed to exercise legitimate influence) be utterly extinguished.— arly all the landed property of Ireland is in the • of Protestants ; and the weight of that super incumbent mass of wealth would speedily—if the re peal party entertained honest designs—extinguish the flames of any agitation which Mr. O'Connell might then raise. hands tud►tort But the repeal party does not entertain honest de ns.

A repeal of ,the union, if aimed at in good faith, would prove utterly ruinous to Ireland. The terms of that union have been far more favourable to Ireland than to England. These terms press severely at every moment on al the industrious classes in Great Britain. The labourers of England are, by means of boundless mortations of low-priced Irish labour, robbed of the due of their toil. The farmers of England are I to unfair competition with the growers of Ir with the growers of corn which is produced 'hour, and without the check of shape.

It is, of course, most desi rable that the industry of Ireland should be encour aged, but not at the expense of English industry. The industry of Ireland ought to be lifted up—instead of being permitted to pull down the industry of England. A repeal of the union on honest terms would lead to the exclusion from English markets of Irish labour -11 as of Irish corn, and farm produce of all ,Triculturists and to the industrious ses of England, the change would be most advan- Reasons of policy render it, of course, desi a the union with Ireland should be maintained the present conditions.

It is an appeal to the colonial minister, entreating him not to destroy a growing branch of our commerce by promoting an under taking which professedly contemplates the regeneration of Africa, but which can only serve to involve this country in relations at once ludicrous and expensive, and to increase the means of government jobbing. It is an appeal to which that minister has turned a deaf ear, and which is therefore now made in last resort to the nation at large. Mr. Jamieson examines the grounds upon which the parlia mentary grant of £61,000 to meet the outfit and expences of the Niger expedition is vindicated by Sir Fowell Buxton and his " Society for effecting the Extinction of the Slave-trade and for promoting the Civilisation of Africa." These grounds, as recapitulated by Mr. Jamieson from Sir Fowell's book are briefly— _ . " First, the success, such as it is, which has attended the colony of Sierra Leone, and the benefits which might result to Africa, if the experiment' were ' tried on a larger scale' on the banks of the Niger : and, " Secondly, the necessity of suppressing the slave-traffic in the Bights of Benin and Biafra; from whence, it is repre sented, there is, to the exclusion of legitimate commerce, an export of 140,000 slaves annually. The former of these grounds Mr. Jamieson disposes of briefly and conclusively as follows— " Now, it is not needful for us to speak of the glimmer of civilization' here alluded to. Neither shall we here al lude to the agricultural advancement of the colony, further than to request the reader's attention to the facts. That of the paltry amount of its total annual exports to all quarters, shown in the official table subsequently referred to, only to the value of £4,577 can be considered as the production of the soil from labour : that the article of cotton wool (though one so easy of production) is not once therein named : that honourable mention is made of coffee as an article of export, to the amount of i.£2o sterling : that sugar is therein men tioned as an artic e of import, to the amount of £500: and that tobacco and rum are also found among the articles im ported, to the extent of £3,500 and £4,800 respectively ; and all this with a soil, as shown in the appendix, suitable for every tropical production, and labour at 31d. to 4d. per diem. Great encouragement, truly, for a further and en larged trial of the experiment' elsewhere. " But we shall endeavour to show what that large pro portion of African commerce ' really is, ' which has taken refuge, as it were, in a spot so inconvenient.' " By official tables laid before Parliament, and printed last year, it appears, that the total amount of exports from Sierra eone to all quarters in 1836 (the latest table given) , were as follows— " In ginger, pepper, arrowroot, rice, coffee, (the last to the extent of £2O sterling,) to the value of " In camwood, plank, gum, hides, ox-horns, ivory, bees'-wax, &c., to the value of 7,127 " In palm-oil, not produced in the colony, though shipped there, but from distant parts of the coast " In timber, not procured in the colony, though cleared at its Customhouse " Such are the retuns from commerce to Sierra Leone. And if such he the result after fifty years' fostering care of philanthropists. and the expenditure of millions of public money, what are we to expect from a trial elsewhere of ' the experiment on a large scale?' " Turning to the second ground, the assumption that there exists an "exclusion of legitimate commerce" from the Niger is shown to be unfounded. EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE OF A ROMISH PRIEST. (From the Standard.) In the late remarkable trial of Hearne v. Stowell, the fol lowing astounding piece of evidence was given : " The Rev. James Crooke examined.-1 am a Roman Ca tholic priest, and senior of St. Augustine's Chapel, in Man chester. " Are there not many instances where persons who in flicted penance or► themselves have been held by your church as objects of admiration ?—That is matter of ecclesiastical history, upon which all may form whatever opinions they please. I know of no such instances. I ask the question again, as matter of fact, have not per sons who inflicted extraordinary penances on themselves been canonised by your church, and, of course, held up as objects of admiration ? " Mr. Wightman.—Speak as to your own knowledge; do you know of any such persons ? _ . " Witness in continuation.—l certainly never knew of any such instances. " I ask again, have not those who inflicted severe penances on themselves been canonised by your church ?—I say again that I know nothing of such things of my own knowledge.

" I ask you again, is it not the case ? it myself " '—l know nothing of Now against this, without a word of comment, we shall merely place the following extracts, not from any individual writer of the Romish Church, but from " THE ROMAN BREVIARY, restored according to the decree of the most holy Council of Trent; and published by command of the chief pontiff, St. Pius V., and recognised by Pop, Clement VIII. and Pope Urban VIII." In this Breviary, the authorised formulary of the Romish Church, the following Saints are commemorated : " ST. FIDELIS.—Amidst austere fasts, watchings, and fla gellations, pursuing himself with a salutary hatred ; he showed towards others the love that a mother displays to wards her sons. _ " ST. MARY MAGDELEN DE PAZZI.—She tortured her body with hair-cloth, whippings, cold, hunger, watchings, nakedness, and all kinds of punishments. "Sr. ANTHONY, BISHOP AND CONFESSOR.—He laid down to rest upon the ground on the naked boards ; and al ways wearing hair-cloth, and sometimes girded with an iron chain next to his skin ; he always completely preserved his virginity. " ST. JULIANA.—She was wont to bruize her body with scourges, knotted little ropes, iron girdles, watclings, and sleeping on the naked ground. She partook very sparingly of food, and that a vile sort, four days of the week ; on the other two she was content with only angel's food; the Sun day was exempted, on which she was nourished on bread and water only. " ST. JEROME EMILIAN.—In a mountain, which is close to , having discovered a cave, he hid himself in it ; where, beating himself with whips, and passing whole days fasting, prayer being protracted far into the night, and enjoying a short sleep upon the naked rock, he paid the penalties of his own faults and those of others.

This river, we need hardly state, is now known to flow into the Atlantic, by its several mouths in the Bight of Biafra ; and it may be readily ascertained, by reference to the Custom-house books of Liver pool, that the import of palm oil from the west coast of Africa (nine-tenths of it being from the Bight of Biafra) into Liver pool alone, in 1836, the year above named in reference to Sierra Leone, was 9,783 tons, and in 1839, 14,126 tons ; be sides ivory and other commodities to a large amount, the quantities and values of which are not so easily ascertainable. To say nothing of these last, however, the value of this oil is, at the present price of the article, about half a million sterling, procured in exchange almost exclusively for British manufactures; and of this oil three-fourths at least (or to the value of about £350,000) are produced and manufactured on the Niger, and shipped from its delta. Such is the legiti mate trade of a river, on which the projectors of an expedition to it believe and tell us none is found :' a trade which took its rise from the date of the abolition of the slave traffic by England, but which has made its principal advancement in the last twenty years; a trade with England, the formation, of which has not cost Government a shillin g , though now giving employment to from 12,000 to 15,000 tons of British shipping annually, from the port of Liverpool only." The allegation that 140,000 slaves are annually exported from the Bights of Benin and Biafra is next proved to be untrue. Mr. Jamieson shows, in the first place, that the as sertion rests upon insufficient evidence; and he produces, in the second place, satisfactory evidence to show alit it is im possible. " Again, in reference to the other allegation, that there is an annual export of stares from these parts, to the extent of 140,000 annually—the correctness of which we deny—we re quest attention to the following extracts of letters on which that allegation is founded, and which we find in The Slave Trade, addressed to the author of that book by Governor M' Lean, of Cape Coast Castle. The first bears date the 11th of June, 1838, and was written during Governor M`Lean's visit to this country ; the other is dated from Cape Coast, in October, of the same year, upon his return to Africa. " June 1838.—1 n compliance with your wishes, I beg leave to state to you, in this form, what I have already men tioned to you verbally, namely, that in the year 1834 I have every reason to believe that the number of slaves carried off from the Bights of Benin and Biafra amounted to 140,000. I have not beside me the particular data whereon I ground this calculation ; but 1 can state generally, that I founded it upon the number of slave vessels which actually passed the forts on the Gold Coast during that year, and of those others of whose presence on the coast I had certain information from her Majesty's cruisers or otherwise.' " October 1838.—Slavers have continued to pass the forts, some of them, as usual, stopping here. From various inquiries that I have made, and by collecting my information, as received from several sources, I can state as a fact that there are at this moment on the coast two hundred slave-ships, all under Portuguese colours.' " Now, we beg it may be particularly noticed, that the former of these - letters speaks of the slave. trade in the Bights of Benin and Biafra' in 1834, while the letter speaks of it upon the coast' in 1838. It is necessary particularly to note this, because, from overlooking this circumstance, the projectors of the Niger Expedition appear to have fallen into the grand mistake of assuming that the Slave-trade still continues in the Bights in question, to at least as great an extent as in 1834. And accordingly, upon this assumption, the following statement is given in The Slave Trade, p. 52, of the annual export of slaves from all parts of Africa, namely, " From the south-eastern coast 15,000 From Angola, &c 22,929 Prom the Porte to the northward of Cape Coast 74,929 say 75,000 Given by Mr. M`Lean for the exports from the Bights of Benin and Biafra.... 140,000 215,000 Now, supposing each, vessel to carry on the average 400 slaves, and to procure her cargo on the average in two months, the quota here alleged to have been supplied by the Bights of Benin and Biafra, would have required a succes sion of not less than 60 slave-ships continuously kept up, or the arrival and departure of 360 ships within the year, upon a range of about 500 miles of coast constantly traversed by our cruisers ! The thing seems in itself incredible ! " But however this may have been in 1834, we are pre pared to show, by the testimony of respectable men, com manders and supercargoes of vessels trading to the coast — testimony, the correctness of which we presume may any day be satisfactorily ascertained at the Admiralty, by reference to the log-books of our cruisers on the coast—that a great and important change has taken place in 1838-9. From such testimony procured in writing, now lying before us, we select the following— TO ROBERT JAIWIESON ' ESQ, " ' Liverpool, 16th July, 1840 " Sir—Being on the point of sailing for Africa, I, at your request, state in writing, what I have already mentioned in your hearing, that I was in Bonny last voyage, from the month of October 1839, to the month of March, this year, during which time there was but one slave-vessel there. " That I was likewise in that river in 1838, from four to five months, during which time there was only one slaver there; and that it is my opinion the export of slaves from Bonny River is at an end, if the same watchfulness be shown by her Majesty's cruisers as at present. " I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, "' PETER DOUGLAS, commanding the barque Brutus.' " Liverpool, 22d July 1840. " Sir, I now state in writing, what I have before stated to you verbally, namely, that I was in command of the barque Boddington, of Liverpool, in the Old Calabar River, Africa, from the 23d of February to the 21st of September, 1839, and that the only vessels that were engaged in the slave-trade in the river, during that time, were two small schooners, from Prince's Island, owned by a man of colour at Prince's, both of which were taken by her Majesty's cruisers shortly after leaving the river ; and I firmly believe that the slave-trade is entirely at an end in Old Calabar, and will continue so, if the same vigilance is kept up by the same class of her Majesty's cruisers on that station ; for the men-of-war have such easy communication with the river from Fernando Po, that it is quite impossible for a slaver to escape from Calabar if vigilantly looked after. " These facts lam ready to give my solemn declaration to before a magistrate, if required.—l am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant, - "` W. Moss.' " • Liverpool, 23d July, 1840. " In reply to your inquiry, 1 beg to inform you, that I was with the barque Chatham and schooner Killermont at Cameroons, from the 10th of April to the latter end of No vember, 1839, and that during that time there was no slave vessel there or in the neighbourhood, with the exception of a small schooner, belonging to the Island of Prince's, and manned by blacks. She might carry about twenty slaves ; but left, after remaining three months. without obtaining one. I was likewise at Cameroons in the Strathmore and Killer mont for four months, in the year 1838, and there was no slaver there then, nor had been for a considerable time pre viously. " This I am ready solemnly to declare before any Ma gistrate, if required ; and it is my firm belief, that the Slave trade on that part of the coast is entirely extinguished, should our cruisers continue to keep as bright a look out as they have done. '" I remain your very obedient servant. " ' JOHN DICK, late Master of the barque Chatham." •" Liverpool, 18th July. 1840. '" At your wish I now state on paper what I had before in y o u r p r e s ence verbally, namely , th at I was lying in and off the river Benin, or Formosa, from the middle of De cember 1839 to the 22d of March 1840, during which time no slave -vessel was there, with the one following exception. " In the month of February last, a Brazilian brig, the Santa la Rosa ' came to anchor off the bar, sent in her car g o by boats, with a supercargo and three men, to form, it was believed, a slave factory on the river. Soon after (the brig having left the mouth of the river) the whole of these men were massacred, and the property plundered by the natives, with, it was believed, the sanction of one of their principal men. " ' On a former voyage, in the e ar ly p ar t of 1839, was both at Bonny and Benina ; saw no slaves whatever, neither did I on the passage home. " ' These facts I am ready and willing solemnly to declare before a Magistrate, if required. ~... 4. 4 J OSPII GIBSON, b r i g S a ti s f ac ti on .'

The assumption is a mistake, and aki n to that which we have just exposed in the alleged total absence of legitimate commerce from the same quarters. " The fact is, that in his anxiety to show so great an ex port of slaves from the Bights of Benin and Biafra, the " ST. CAJETAN THE CONFESSOR.—He sometimes afflicted his body by beatings whole nights, and he never would be persuaded to relax the asperity of his life, witnessing that he desired to die in ashes and sackcloth. " ST. IslicoLAs.—Subduing his body with a rough gar ment, stripes, and an iron chain. " ST. JOSEPII, A CUPERTINE.—He afflicted his body with hair-cloth, with whips, with chains ; in short, with every kind of hardship and punishment. " ST. FRANCIS BORGIA, CONFESSOR.—In that pursuit of a stricter mode of life Francis reduced his body to a state of extreme thinness, by fastings, by iron chains, by a very rough hair-cloth, by bloody and long beatings, and by very short sleep. " ST. THERESA.—She burned with so anxious a desire of chastising her body, that although the diseases with which she was afflicted might have dissuaded her from it, she often tortured her body with hair-cloth, chains, handfulls of net tles, and other very sharp scourges, and sometimes she would roll among the thorns ; being accustomed thus to address God ; 0 Lord, be it my lot to suffer, or to die.' " ST.

" ST.

Treading in the arduous footsteps of St. Catherine, she bound her loins with an iron chain thrice wound round her ; she made for herself a bed of knotty pieces of wood, and she tilled the open seams with fragments of earthen ves sels ; she constructed for herself a very narrow cell in an ex treme corner of the garden, where, abandoned to heavenly contemplation, she fearlessly overthrew and subdued, victori ous in manifold contests, the spirits of devila, extenuating her body with frequent discipline, with abstinence, and with watchings, but nourished by the Spirit." Obviously we have no choice but to believe one of two things—either that " the senior priest of St. " Augustine's Chapel in Manchester" had " no distinct recollection" of the Roman Breviary ;—that is, of the Common Prayer Book of his own Church ; or else—that he swore falsely ! WHAT MAKES WEST INDIA SUGAR SO DEAR ? (From the Colonial Gazette.) An able writer in the Anti-Slavery Reporter would save himself a vast deal of trouble by taking that of mastering one or two of the first principles of political economy. His object is to show that " the great experiment has failed thus far, because the present enormous price of West India sugar in the British market is owing, not to any increase in the cost of production, but entirely to a change in the proportion be tween the demand and the supply. His argument, which we have not space to restate at any length, is briefly as follows : The labour of freemen is cheaper, or more productive in proportion to its cost, than that of slaves. The West India planter, therefore, produces sugar at less cost than hereto fore, and could afford to sell cheaper than in the time of sla very. But he has a monopoly of the British market ; and the supply having become less or the demand greater—is able to exact a price as much exceeding the cost of production as the demand exceeds the supply. His profit must be very great. This great profit must encourage production ; and in time the price will fall to the remunerating point, when the success of emancipation will be obvious to all. The best way to bring down the price will be to admit sugar, the produce of free labour in the East Indies or elsewhere, to an equal competition with West India sugar in the British market. This writer, to have been consistent, should have further proposed the admission of slave-grown sugar on equal terms with that produced by free labour. If the cost of production is less in the West Indies than in Brazil or Cuba, what me thod so effectual of showing the utility of emancipation as an equal competition between free-labour sugar and slave-labour sugar, ilk which the former would drive the latter out of the market ? But no ; the abolitionists here are as little disposed as the planters of the West Indies to admit slave-grown sugar to the British market. And why ? They can have no other reason than a fear lest the produce of slave-labour should prove the cheaper of the two, and all their prophecies of " the great experiment" be signally falsified. This is the incon sistency of the writer in question. He has no confidence in the soundness of his argument. And indeed its intrinsic fallacy will be made plain by a very slight examinaiton. We will admit, not merely for argument's sake, but be cause we sincerely believe it, that the hired labour of free men costs less, man for mall, than that of slaves—that, all things considered, the cost of production is less when the la bourers are free and paid for their work, than when they are enslaved and flogged to make them work. But now, in order to illustrate the subject by an extreme case, let us imagine a country in which the head of every family is a proprietor of land working by himself on his own account. In that case the superior productiveness of hired labour would be an idle abstraction, since there would be no labour for hire. This is more or less the actual case of every country in which land is extremely cheap. The scarcity of labour for hire prevents the combination of many hands in each employment, and also the division of employments ; so that, the productiveness of labour being at the minimum, there is little or no surplus produce over what maintains each separate family. Such is, though in various degrees, the condition of every one of our West India colonies. Labour for hire, whether cheap or dear, is extremely scarce ; the only present means of production, whatever the cost, is insufficient to produce the old quantity of sugar; and therefore, the demand being the same in a monopolized market, the price becomes exorbitant. The cheapness or dearness of la bour for hire has nothing to do with the question : it is a case of diminished supply by reason of the difficulty of hiring labour at any price. This view of the subject agrees with the facts, which that of the Anti-Slavery Reporter does not. He cannot deny that the supply has decreased, notwithstanding cheaper production, which should have inevitably occasioned an increase of produce. And in order to reconcile this de crease with the greater cheapness of production, he is obliged to suppose, what is wholly contrary to the truth, that the struggling planters of the West Indies are making enormous profits. We must repeat, therefore, that whatever the cost of production, the industry of the West Indies cannot at pre sent compete on equal terms with that of slave countries : The planters still raise sugar because their monopoly of the British market enables them to obtain a remunerating price notwithstanding the scarcity at any cost of labour for hire : no bounty, no sugar. When will the aboliti on i s t s con d escend to inquire into th influence of the price of land on the pro ductiveness of industry ? THE QUEEN DOWAGER. -It is quite true that the excel lent Queen Adelaide has decided to become for some time a resident in Derbyshire. Sudbury Hall is certainly taken for her majesty's occupancy, and her majesty will enter upon her tenure on the 15th of September next. Workmen are b us il y employed on the premises, and orde rs to various manufac turers and tradesmen in the country are already given. The china will be supplied from the celebrated manufactory at Derby. Sudbury Hall is the property of Lord Vernon, and was built about the 17th century. The building is of red brick, intermixed with those of a darker colour, and, though not large, is well proportioned, and has two small wings. A good gallery runs through the house.—Chesterfield Courier. The poor-law guardians of Cork have resolved to admit the press, in spite of the commisioners. Fanny Eisler is so satisfied with her reception among the Americans that she has determined to break all European engagements for a year at least, in which period she will have received upwards of £lO,OOO. NOT IN HASTE.—A clergyman in the north, very homely in his address, chose for his text a passage in the Psalms, "I said in my haste, all men are liars." Ay," premised his reverence, by way of introduction, " ye said it in your haste, David, did ye ?—gin ye had been here, ye micht has said it at your leisure, my mon." A correspondent of the Essex Herald suggests that a se curity for travellers on railways might be contrived by an act of Parliament, compelling two of the directors in rotation to go with every train, seats being provided exclusively for them immediately behind the engine. A traveller stopped at an inn to breakfast, and having drank a cup of what was given him, the servant asked, what will you have, tea or coffee ? To which the traveller an swered, " That depends upon circumstances. If what you gave was tea, I want coffee. If it was coffee, I want tea. I want a change." A labouring man, named Hunter, residing at Folkstone, who had been long notorious in.the neighbourhood for hand ling vipers and snakes, and even caressing them with impu nity, met with the consequences of his dangerous ostenta tion on Friday, having been bitten to death by a viper. He expired in two hours from the time of receiving the bite. GANNAL'S PROCESS FOR EMBALMING.-2•68 lb. troy of dry sulphate of alumina are dissolved in 88 (or rather more than three-quarters of a pint) of hot water. Five or six pints of a solution made after these proportions are to be injected into all the vessels of the 'body to be embalmed. To prevent the attack of insects, it s is proper to add 15'43 grains of chloride of copper to every 2 . 68 lbs. troy of sulphate of alumina, or 7711 grains of arsenic. HOPS.—We can report scarcely any change in the hops since our last. The warm weather has certainly improved those which were previously doing well. There is one ground in the parish of Blean, which is calculated to produce from 12 to 15 cwt. per acre. In a planter's grounds which produced last year several tons of hops, there will barely be as many hundred weight picked. The duty may be quoted at £30,000. —Kentish Gazette. STEAM NAVIGATION IN AUSTRALIA.—The steam-ship " Sea-Horse," of 250-horse power, sailed from Gravesend on Thursday morning for Sydney. This vessel is intended to ply between the various ports in tilt Australian Colonies, for which purpose, from her build and great power, she is eminently qualified. The Sea-Horse is admitted to be one of the finest steam-ships which has been seen in the port of London, and is valued at upwards of £30,000. Her cabins and saloon were full of passengers, and she takes out a valu able cargo. LIABILITY OF LODGERS TO SERVE ON CORONERS' JUBIZS.—At an inquest held on Friday last, before Mr. Wak ley, M.P., in the parish of Marylebone, a person claimed ex emption to serve on the jury on the ground that he was a lodger. Mr. Wakley said the claim must be allowed. Ano ther person—l too, sir, am only a lodger. Mr. Wakley— to what extent? Claimant—l occupy the lower part of a house. Mr. Wakley—Do you pay rent for your lodgings to the amount of £.lO ? Claimant — l do. Mr. Wakley—That gives you a right to vote far members of parliament, and the reform act having given you that power, has virtually made you a housekeeper. You must serve. CAPTURE OF A SEA MONSTER.---9he inhabitants living in the vicinity of the Old Quay at Lancaster, were thrown into an unwonted state of activity and excitement, early on Sunday morning last, by the vagaries of a large sea monster, which was jumping about and spouting large jets of water in the river Lune, a little below the Old Bridge. As soon as it got sufficiently light, all who could lay their hands on a gun were firing away as fast as they could get reloaded, and the owners of boats, armed with harpoons, lances, and scythes, were lying in wait for him in all directions, to give him a warm reception as soon as he should show himself above wa ter. After about three hours hunting, he was shot in the head by a marksman stationed on the Old Bridge, when he immediately spouted a large jet of blood, and a man being near at the same time in a boat, struck him with a harpoon, and after some little further trouble he was landed, and proved to be a large specimen of the Delphinus Tertio, mea suring about 12 1 ft. in length, and weighing 15 cwt., a fish whose appearance in our latitude, is a thing of very rare oc currence ; indeed we learn from gentlemen deeply read in natural history, that there are only some four or five instances on record of this fish having been seen in England, two of which have been taken near Lancaster, the one under notice, and another some years ago in Morecambe bay. The captors exhibited the fish at Lancaster on Sunday, and on Monday it was shown here, at the Fleece Inn, St. John-street. From the appearance of its teeth, which were evidently much worn, and from the fact of several being gone, it is not unreasonable to infer that the specimen was an old one—the fish was one of the male kind. After the exhibition closed here, the fish was disposed of for the sum of 1;7 or guineas, to some York shiremen, who intended first to astonish the Manchester folks with the sight of it, and afterwards to make use of it for the production of oil • what quantity it might possibly yield, was quite a matter oitincertainty ; we are therefore unable to inform our readers whether the speculation was a lucky one or not.—Preston Pilot.

The prevailing feeling in the trade, is that the currency will be still higher. The Cork coopers having struck work for an increase of wages, we experience a temporary scarcity of pickled flutter. Holders of consignments are generally limited to 945 , and some there are, which look for gds. There appears to be very little doing in Beef and Pork. A little of the former of this season's cure has ar rived, for which 61b per tierce is asked. We, however, think there will be more safety in purchasing last season's Beef for some time to come, as we cannot but have apprehensions for an article cured so early. Bacon sells very freely at 57s to 58s for Belfast, and looking up.

STEAM FIRE-SHIPS (From the Inventor's Advocate.) We must, it seems, go abroad to find out the wonderful things which we have been doing at home ; therefore, we take from a Brussels paper, the Rind, the following account of some terrible steam fire-ships which it appears are in readi ness in our ports to launch destruction against any enemy that may appear against Great Britain. The account is stated to have been supplied by an engineer, who is well acquainted with the preparations which we have in reserve for the first maritime warfare. We give it without in the least degree vouching for the correctness of the foreign engineer's state ments : " Among the formidable war engines which are preparing at Woolwich, I know of none more terrible than the steam fire-ship, which, like the Infernal, throws a jet of tire as far as the most powerful fire-engines throw a jet of water. These tare-ships have also two conical-shaped tubes ; bound round with hoops like a cask : these cones are attached to the two sides of a plank of fir from 80 to 90 feet long ; on this kind of raft is placed one of those old steam-engines of from six to fifteen horse power which can be purchased in any quantity for the price of old iron ! and on the fore part is placed a single Paixhan cannon, loaded to the muzzle. This machine is intended to be launched in the night with all the rapidity it is capable of, against the sides of the enemy's ships. The iron point of the plank will strike into the ship, and the concussion will fire the cannon, which will make an enormous hole below the water mark, which will immediately sink the ship. The peculiarity of these fire-ships is, that if they fail to strike the ship against which they are directed, they continue their course in a straight line, and a steam-ship may be sent to bring them back, to be launched forth again after having a flesh supply of fuel. " A hundred of these machines will he sufficient to destroy a hundred men of war of the ordinary construction, which would be unable to escape from their destructive powers. They do not cost more than from 8000 to 10,000 frs. They are called sea-javeline. You may depend upon it, that mari time warfare will henceforth be completely changed ; that steam will be the great agent now, and that battles will be fought by steam engines. The people who possess the great est number, and who are most ingenious, will possess pre eminence at sea and on land during war, as they now do in time of peace. Is it not a shame that our government do not become swage of the necessity of encouraging mechanical studies anti Ley are forced to admit it by the conflagration of their shipping and the destruction of their armies; and that they do not acknowledge, as they ought to do, that an ingenious mechanical philosopher is of more use.to his country than all the orators in the world ?" In another number of the same paper, we find also the fol lowing notice of the Infernal: " There is now fitting out with the greatest secrecy, in the arsenal of Woolwich, a steam-ship which will be alone enabled to set fire to a whole fleet. This ship is rendered completely ball-proof by thick bulwarks of wood. It has no paddle-wheels, but is moved by an Archi medes screw under the water. It is furnished with four high pressure boilers filled with a wildfire composition, consisting of naphtha, tar, grease, 2ke., intended to be thrown by power ful force pumps through red'hot tubes. This mixture, thus heated as it is poured out, will inflame in the air, and fall like a rain of extinguishable fire on the sails, the rigging, and men of the enemy's ships. When becalmed, an entire fleet might be destroyed in less than half an hour by the Infernal. All maritime warfare will, henceforth, be conducted by steam ships, and by means of the terrible engines which science has invented during the last twenty-five years. The ordinary line of battle ships will only be of use as floating magazines to convey coals and combustibles ; they will be the store ships of the steam-boats, and nothing more."

The average price of brown or Muscovado sugar, computed frog& the returns made in the week ending Sept. 1, is 58s iild per hundred weight, exclusive of the duties of customs paid or payable hereon on the importation thereof into Great Britain. During the last seven days we have had very trivial arrivals of all descriptions of British Grain, as well as of Flour and Onneal ; and the week's imports from abroad do not exceed 4,1u0 quarters of Wheat, 7,700 barrels of Flour from the United States, with 2,00 0 barrels from Canada. From the 29th ult. to the 2d instant inclusive, duties were paid upon 1,720 garters of Wheat, 465 quarters of Oats, 2,536 quarters of Peas, and 1,330 barrels of Flour. Yesterday the rate of impost on Wheat was reduced to 2s Bd, on Oats to Is pd per quarter, and on Flour to is 7id per barrel, at which the stocks of each in bond will be released, and may, therefore, be considered on the free market. In anticipation of this holders of Foreign Wheat and Flour, in bond, were on Tuesday, offering their samples at 6d a bushel and 2s per barrel below previous rates, free, for de livery on or after Friday, but the dealers showed no inclination to purchase to any extent. The trade continued languid until yester day, when a moderately fair business was transacted, both in Wheat and Flour, at the above-stated reduction from the quotations 01 this day week. Oats and Oatmeal have met a rey limited demand, and are fully ad per bushel and as per load cheaper : 30s per 24011 , s is now an extreme for Irish old Oatmeal, 3s pci per 451bs for Oats. A few Irish new Oats have appeared, the quality very good, and have sold at 3s led to 4s per 451bs, and two or three small parcels of new Oatmeal at 38s per load. Harley has been little inquired for, and must be quoted 3d to 4d per bushel lower. Beans and Peas without alteration. LONDON GAZE'FFE.-FRIDAY, SEPT. 4 PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED, W. Eccles, J.
