LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--THIS DAY. Since our first report this week, we have had a great deal of almost constant heavy rain and boisterous winds, which, although very little corn remains out within the circle of a few miles around us, will, if general, at least protract the harvest in late situations. This unfavourable change in the weather, however, produced no effect upon the trade here during the last two days, the transactions on the whole hav ng been unimportant, with scarcely any variation in prices from the current rates of Tuesday. The duty is advanced on Foreign Wheat to 10s. Bd., on Pease to 3s. 6d. per quarter, on Flour to 6s. sd. per barrel ; reduced on Rye to lls. per quarter, and remains unaltered upon Barley, Oats, and Beans. Upon British Colonial pro duce duties continue the same as last week. Beyond 360 quarters coastwise, we have no Wheat from any quarter fresh in for to-day, nor any other grain worth notice : of Flour also, only 2400 barrels, just in time to meet the charge of 4s. Several vessels, however, are near at hand from the American States, with Wheat and Flour, which will be subject to the present increased duty ; and upon such as may arrive after Thursday next, a still higher rate is anti- cipated. The weather becoming fine again to-day, and having a very slender attendance of buyers, the trade for all descriptions of Wheat was extremely languid, and although holders were not generally disposed to recede, a few partial sales were made at a small decline from our last quotations. Barrel Flour, on the contrary, was in moderate request, on the terms previously noted, English, at the same time, remain ing unvaried. Without any supply of Malting Barley, no price is yet de termined for new ; and Foreign grinding samples being ne glected, remain little more than nominal in value. Malt very unsaleable, at former rates. Beans, restricted to a li mited retail demand, hardly sustained former prices, and Pease were decidedly rather cheaper. Oats, although continuing to excite very little notice, were held at late prices.—Oatmeal ruled extremely dull at an abatement of Is. to 25., the best Irish new not exceeding 335. to 345., and old 275. to 28s. per 240 lbs. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 15th to the 17th September, 1140, inclusive. TUESDAY. The GREAT ST. LEGER STAKES of 50 soar each, h. ft. for three. year-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; and fillies, Bst 21b ; the second to receive £lOO out o the stakes. St. Leger course, one mile and three-quarters. (112 subs.) Marquis Westminster's br c Launcelot, by Camel—Ban ter Marquis Westminster's b c Maroon, by Mulatto—Miss. Giles (Holmes) 2 _ _ The following also started, but were not placed :--‘COIOneI Peel's b c Gibraltar, by Muley ; Nit-. St. Paul's b f Calypso, by Liverpool ; Mr. Mostyn's Trustee, by -Sir Gray • Mr. G. ' Dawson named the Young-un, by Satan ; Lord iglinton's b c Dr. Canis, by Physician ; Col. Synge's b c Polydorus, by Prism; Mr. ossaideston's ch f Mountain Sylph, by Bel shazzar; Mr. Parkin's b c Broadwath, by Liverpool; Critchley's bl c Dunstan, by St. Nicholas. Eleven started. Only two were placed. The betting, just before the start, was-7 to 4 against Gibraltar, 7to 4 against Launcelot. 4 to 1 against Maroon, 8 to 1 against Calypso, and 16 to 1 against any other horse. As the hour of start drew nigh, the interst became intense, and various were the speculations entered into, as the horses showed in front of the Grand Stand, and walked round the course. They then formed in line preparatory to the start. The word " go " was given at four minutes atter four o'clock ; and off they all went except Trustee, who remained behind. The start thus became a •* false" one; the horses were called back after they had gone about thirty yards, and again they went off in beautiful style—Maroon taking the lead all the way up the bill, Gibraltar lying ors • his quarters, Launcelot about the fifth, and Trustee last: They appeared to keep about the same relative positions for some distance. As they approached the distance-post Polydorus appeared a little in frunt, Launcelot lying inside, Maroon in the middle, and Gibraltar outside. Thus they came on towards the Stand, Maroon leading about a length. and Gibraltar coming up to him ; but Holmes, seeing that Gibraltar was beaten, and that Launcelot could certainly win, held his horse, or appeared to do so, and then Launcelot came out and won by about a length; Maroon coming in second, and nearly a length in front of Gibraltar. The others were all well beaten, and Trustee appeared to be last, or nearly so, all the way round. • Lord Westminster is a fortunate man. He stands in the unprecedented position of having only two horses starting for the St. Leger, and their coming in first and second, so that he sweeps the whole stakes, which, notwithstanding the number of forfeits, must be very large, there being 112 sub scribers. Not only has the noble marquis been thus snceess nil, but the race preceding the St. Leger—the Cleveland Stakes (of 50 sovs. each, with 20 sovs. added by the corpo ration, 21 subscribers,) was won by his lordship's br. c. Sleight of Hand, 4 yrs., List 71h., beating Mr. Allen's b. f. °retie and several others. Scott's stable is thus pre-emiently victorious. We subjoin a brief record of the performances of the winner of the St. Leger, and of the second horse in the great sporting event of this celebrated meeting : Launcelot, b. c., brother to Touchstone, by Camel, out of Banter ; the property of the Marquis of Westminster, and trained by J. Scott. At two years old won the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster by a neck, beating Pathfinder, Mountain Sylph. Queen Bee, f. by Curtius,—Fanny, Theon, Interlude, Doctor Caius ; 6 to 4 against Launcelot.—Same meeting, walked over for the Produce Stakes.—Same meeting, ran second for the Two-year-old Stakes, Theon winning by a neck ; 5 to 2 against Launcelot.—At three years old, ran se cond for the Epsom Derby, Little Wonder winning by a length; 9 to 4 against Launcelot.—Walked over for a Pro duce Stake at Liverpool, and paid ferfeit for a Foal Stakes at the same meeting.—At York, walked over for a Produce Stake. Maroon, h c, by Mulatto, out of Miss Giles ; the property of Lord Westminster, and trained by J. Scott.—Never run at two years old. Ran third to Fitzroy for the Hippodrome Handicap. the Currier second ; sto 2 against Maroon. At Liverpool, won the Bickerstaffe Stakes by eigh tor ten lengths, beating De Clifford ; 6to-1 on Maroon. Same meeting, was beaten for the Grosvenor Stakes, by half a length, by Charles XII. EXPRESS TO MANCHESTER. WITH THE RESULT OF THE ST. LEGER RACE.—Mr. James Bake, of the Bull Inn and Postoftice Hotel, brought the intelligence of this great event to Manchester the same evening, as early as half-past seven o'clock. As soon as the race was over. he obtained the judges' decision, and left their stand precisely at a quarter past four, and reached his own house (a distance of about tifty miles) in three hours and a quarter. Ile had six horses on the road, and one of them, losing a shoe, walked about three miles. THE MURDER AT WIGAN. RE-CAPTURE OF ANDERTOL We are glad to be enabled to announce the re-capture of Anderton, who, it will be remembered, was in custody at the Town-hall, Wigan, on suspicion of being 'concerned in the murder of Mr. Coulton, steward to the Earl of Balcarras, and who escaped thence by filing his irons, at an early hour in the morning of Friday, the 4th instant, It seems that Heath, one of the Wigan police, having ascertained that a boy, a nephew of the prisoner, knew his hiding-place, in duced the lad to accompany him thither. Accordingly, they proceeded on Tuesday, accompanied by two of the county constabulary, to a farm-house, at Hart Common. West houghton, about five miles from Wigan, and close to the residence of Mr. John Hargraves, lessee of the goods traffic . on the Bolton and Leigh Railway. The policemen, on enter, ing the premises, detained all the inmates 'in one. place, whilst they prosecuted their search through the house and farm-offices. After some time thus occupied without suc cess, they at length proceeded to the hay-left, where they discovered Anderton concealed several feet under the hay, a small aperture having been made through it to his face, to enable him to breathe. He wore a night-cap, but had neither coat nor shoes on ; and his shoes were found near him, quite wet. In his pockets were found some turnips and a file, (with which in all probability he had succeeded in freeing himself from his irons). His beard was much grown, and, to all appearance, he had not been shaved since his escape. Whether he had been in concealment in the place where he was discovered, during the days that have elapsed since his escape, we have not ascertained. He is stated to look much worse in every respect than he did ten days ago He was escorted to Wigan in a cart, and reached that town about half-past three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, passing through a concourse of thousands of spectators, who evinced the greatest satisfaction at his re-capture. He was conveyed again to the Town-hall, where he remains in custody, heavily ironed, and under a strong guard. We understand that a further examination of the prisoner took place on Wednes day morning, before the magistrates at 'Wigan. DEATH OF MR. CHRISTOPHER WEBSTER, IN THE NEW BAILEY. — ' Phis individual, who is well known from his con nection with the Manchester Imperial Bank, died very sud denly on Sunday afternoon last, in the New Bailey prison, where he bad been committed by the commissioners under his bankruptcy. THE FAILURES IN MANCHESTER.—A. meeting of the cre ditors of Mr. Henry Forth was held yesterday (Tuesday), when a statement of his affairs was laid before them. It ap peared,—in confirmation of the statement which we made last week, and in contradiction of the exaggerated rumours to which we then alluded,—that the total amount of Mr. Forth's debts was £49,818; in addition - to which there were contin gent liabilities on bills of exchange, amounting, we believe, to about £60,000, some of which may possibly become claims on the estate in case of the failure of the acceptors, but which cannot be considered in that light-at present. The assets to meet these demands were stated at something more than £29,000; and Mr. Forth's proposal was to pay his creditors 10s. in the pound, by two equal instalments at two and four months, with security. We believe that the creditors w ere generally inclined to accept this offer ; but some difference of opinion arose in the Meeting as to certain debts owing by parties who had purchased from Mr. Forth, in his own name, goods consigned to hint for sale, on a guarantee commission; and the question was, whether these debts belonged to the creditors, or were, as they had been taken to be, in making out the statement, the property of the consignors of the goods. After sonic discussion on this point, it was agreed that a legal opinion should be taken on this question, the determination of which Would of course affect the amount of assets. The meeting was consequently adjourned to Tuesday next, to receive this opinion, and to consider further the offer made by Mr. Forth. Messrs. Wood. Wales, and Co., have also submitted a statement of their affairs to their creditors, who have unanimously consented to accept a composition of lls. in the pound. —Gearilinn. The Metal packet, Lieut.

Wts hear, with great concern, that an almost immediate separation took- /gam, under .cir cumstances of a most painful and peculiar nature., The mys terious and unaccountable conduct of the reverend doctor has given rise to great speculation, and it is confidently ritmoured that the affair will give employment to the learned civilians in Doctors' Commons.—Cambridge Advertiser._[The par ties referred to are the Rev.

On Thursday one of the workmen on the railway near Howwood, of the name of Nlathieson, attempted to cross it near Elderslie, immediately in front of a train which was running eastward.

CONSERVATIVE DINNER. —Arrangements have been made for holding the Cheltenham annual dinner on the dth Octo ber ; the industrious and staunch conservative member for 'the eastern division, C. W. Codrington, Esq., will take the chair on the occasion. We say staunch, because it gives the lie to the various reports which have been circulated by the paid hirelingi 'of the whit press, that the Duke of Beaufort, who is the father-in-law of Mr. Codrington, was turning a whip, and that he was likely to accept the office of Viceroy of Ireland ?—Cheltenham Chronicle. Two.concerts of rather a novel description were given at the Literary and Philosophic Institution, on Thursday and Friday week, by a blind gentleman named Watson, who per formed on no less than five different instruments at one time, by the aid of his mouth, hands, and feet—namely, two her monicons, two first violins, and a violoncello, the bow of the latter being fastened to his right foot. He also performed on the psaltery and musical glasses. Mr. Watson's perform ance was at once curious and interesting. Cheltenham Chronicle. THE CLYDE AND LONDON WATERMEN.—We have beard no more of this anticipated match ; it will be recollected that Coombes and his party challenged the Clyde to row them oa their own river, £250. to £200., and when we were at Liver pool there appeared some hopes of the match being made. We bear, however, that a copper four oared boat is being built for the Clydemen, and there is some talk of a London waterman being engaged to show thorn how the Thames men manage to " pull through" a race triumphantly. This looks like business, and it is not too late for a match.—Bell'a Life. Among the particulars which are to be ascertained by the persons appointed to take the Census of 1811, are the ages of all inhabitants of both sexes. We expect that the indivi duals to whom this duty is to be entrusted will meet with some rebuffs in the course of their inquiries among the ladies. We confess that we do not envy them this part of their job: In reference to this matter, it may not be amiss to quota the following paragraph from an American paper : " The man appointed to take the census of Pawtucket, Mae sachussets, experiences the greatest difficulty in asoertainbig the ages of the girls, none of whom plead guilty to over twenty-four. In one family he found no fewer than nine, all between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-four !" IMPORTANT, TO AGENTS AND TRADERS.—By the 49th section of the statute 7 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29, for amending the laws relating to larceny, &c., it is enacted, " That if any money, or security for the payment of money, shall be en trpeted to any banker, merchant, broker, attorney, or other agent, with any direction in writing to apply such money, or any part thereof, or,the proceeds or any part of the proceeds of such security, or any purpose specified in such direction, and he shall, in violation of good faith, and contrary to the purpose so specified, in any wise convert to his own use or benefit such money, security, or proceeds, or any part thereof respectively, every such offender shall be guilty of a misde meanour, and being convicted thereof, shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be transported beyond the seas for any term not exceeding fourteen years nor, less than seven years, or to stiffer such other punishment by fine or impri sonment, or by both, ris the court shall award." VALUABLE EXCHANGE.—A surgeon, residing between this town and Manchester, took his pony to Turton fair with the intention of selling it, or making an exchange, as it did not exactly suit his purpose. The pony was worth 432, and shortly after lie had arrived at the fair, a bargain was struck, and lie paid a sovereign in exchange for "a prime un as ever run afore a tail ;" nay, so excellent was it that the parties could not even afford to give the gentleman a shilling out " for luck." In a few minutes afterwards, two men came up to him with the astounding information that the horse had got glanders, that they "never seed one wur blondurt," and it he did not take it out of the fair they would shoot it, because they could " ston to do it by law." He felt quite alarmed, and whilst ruminating upon his misfortune, two other men, no doubt of the same party, came up to him, and also threat ened to shoot it, but if he liked, as he had made such a bad bargain, they would give him the price of the hide for it. This was ultimately agreed upon giving them a shilling out of a sovereign " for luck ;" so that the gentleman returned home minus his pony and a shilling by the two bargains. Ex.TaAouniN.oty friend in Fortrose has kindly given as information of a very extraordinary wonder of the deep, that was lately caught in that neighbourhood. We feel ourselves quite unable to describe the monster without the aid of a cut, but subjoin the observations of our friend : " The fish made its way through the Water ,quite on edge, and, as you will sOOO perceive, must have invariably required about seven feet depth of water to swim in: When caught it weighed exactly two InpAred pounds-,is of an oval.shape. The length, from stern to stevn, if I may use the expression, was four feet ; the breadth, at the broadest part, two and a half feet, and eight inches thick. The colour of the skin all over is a darkish grey, and of the sea-dog-tail roughness ; the fleshy side pure white, and when cut through with a pen-knife, has the appearance of the finest polished ivory, apparently nowise oily—neither is the fish when boiled ; it is as white as chalk, but not quite so dry, which induces me to think it belongs to the family of turbots. I can get no one to give it a name. The head and mouth small • the eyes and entrails as large as those of a horse, and not unlike them. Theia is a small fin behind each eye; but what is most re markable, is a Arsal fin, two feet high, and a corresponding one opposite, on the owe side, also two feet, and no tail ; termination quite round. These, v4th }hp breadth of the body, make 6/ feet, and when at full play, innst require that depth of water to swim in. It struggled a long time before it died."—For the gratification of the curious, we are ena bled to exhibit a piece of the marine gentleman's hide at this office. It is more than an inch thick, possessed of a beauti ful polish.—lnverness Courier. - - - - A DOMESTIC Vraior.--In Silliman's Journal there is au account of a frog, in a perfect state of domestication, in the possession of Dr. William fools, of Kingston. It appears that the lower offices of his house are what are called under ground, on the banks of the Thames. This little reptile accidentally appeared to his servants emerging from a hole in the skirting of the kitchen, and for the first year withdrew on their approach. From their kindness, however, and from their partaking of food given to him, he gradually acquired habits of familiarity, and during the following three years regularly came out every day, particularly at meal time, and partook of the food given to him by the servants. One of the most remarkable features of his artificial state of exis tence was his strong partiality for warmth, as during the winter he regularly (contrary to the coldblooded tendency of his nature), came out in the evening, and directly made for the hearth, in front of a 'good kitchen fire, where he would continue to bask and enjoy himself until the family retired to rest. There happened to be, at the same time, a favourite old domestic cat, and a sort of attachment existed between the two incongruous inmates ; the frog frequently nestling under the warm fur of the cat, whilst the cat appeared ex tremely jealous of interrupting the comforts and conveni ences of the frog.—Ameriian. THE ARCHIMEDES.—This vessel, which has created so much public attention, from her being propelled by an Ar chimedean screw, was on Thursday hauled into the King's Dock at Rotherhithe, to undergo repairs. It appears that, during her recent voyage off the coast of Holland, she struck a shoal of rocks, which caused a large break in her keel: She was got off with great difficulty, and the hole ternpararily se cured with canvass. The repairs will only occupy a day or two, when the Archimedes will be again ready for sea. Her performances during the last few months have given the ut most satisfaction to the proprietors and those who have in terested themselves in this invention, the superiority of which to the paddles now in use is apparent to the most casual ob server, and must ere long induce its being generally used in riyers and small stream. SINOULAR DIRECTIOZ4S,—A few ijears ago a letter with the following directions actually passed through the Newent post-office. It was from an old woman in Newent to her niece in the Forest of Dean, whose name after marriage she aid not know-- 2 " To nun Nanney Zindrey, as wuz wen a wuz singul, but now a his married to-a mon in the Cfclepita and livz at the lee bola Bayby Yqung lady, a friend of the writer of this paragraph, a few years ago ? was spending a short time at a farm called ``the Razes" in the parish of Bosbury : a butcher, from Ledbury, who had been buying some stock from the farm, drunk tea at the house. The young person alluded to, asked the butcher for the loan of some books which she knew he had. He was too modest to enquire her name, but observed that she did not take sugar n heir tea. Accordingly, on the morrow the books were sent, directed as follows :—" To the young lady at the Resses that du,supt Shuggat.l in har Tay."—Glouaester Journal. PaisoN Disetet,lNE.—The act of the V and $d Vic., c. 56, " for the better ordering of prisons ? " has been altered iy an act passed last session. By the former act, priioners were directed to be divided into classes, of which debtors were to form the first, and rules were to be made with respect to them, besides the rules and regulations then existing. The present act repeals those provisions as to debtors, and declares it to be expedient " that such of the rules and regulations only be observed and applied in regard to the first-class prisoners as ;hall be made by the persons authorised by law to make rules and regulations for the government of the said gaois and psi sons, and approved of by urle of her Majesty's principal se cretaries of state." By this change in tbe law a great many inconveniences which debt ors i n county gao s were put to, on the coming into operation of the former act on the Ist January last, will be removed. The 3d section, in the following words, gives, it will be seen, the judge before whom a pri soner is tried the power of ordering him to be confined with a particular class ; and be it enacted, that in every prison in which debtors may be lawfully confined, the persons autho rised by law to make rules and regulations for the govern ment of such prison, shall, with the approval of one of her Majesty's principal secretary of state, make such rules, orders, and regulations for the management of the debtors pp/stilled therein as shall by them, from time to time, be re garded as fit and necessary ; and that in every gaol, house of corr ection, bridewell, and penitentiary in England and Walp s , prisoners convicted of misdemeanors, and net se nt ence d tO hard labour, shall be di vided into at least two diVi s i one , one of which shall gcuailteiondts shehall first division,' a n d th at se parate rules be made for each di V i s i on ; sl n l a b r e e la and that the rules flouted by the said a c t fo r the said last ses, ° shall not tiPPI7 to the said first division; and perso n convicted of ini4lewilogr li that a t Parliament whenever` any shall be sentenced to imprisonment without hard labour, it shall be lawful for the court or judge before whom such per+ son shall have been tried, to order, if such court or judge shall think fit, that such person shall be confined with the prisoners of the said first division ; and no p risoner respect ing whom no such order shall be made shall be confined w ith the prisoners of the add first division." The foundation stone of a hew 4:o.urch was laid at Beacon Hill, near Bath, on MondaV, The Duke of Richail:Oda lately offered one hundred guineas for a ram lamb, which Was refused by the breeder. PROGRESS or MATHs:wtsm.—A teetotaller, who was lately presented with a medal by the apostle of temperance, was seized last week for selling unlicensed whiskey in the neighbourhood of Castlecorner.—Dublin,. Evening Mail. The Great Western left Kingroad, tristol, on Saturday afternoon, for New York. Among the passengers she carries out is Mr. Jaudon, who has acted, for the last three years, as agent in this country for the Bank of the United States. On Thursday last as some railway workmen were employed in digging up the road leading from Bathempton to the Old Ferry they discovered, at about seven feet below the surface, three skeletons—two laid side by side, and the other placed at a distance from them of about seven feet. In the breast of the latter was an iron shot whighing about 14lbs.—Bath Chronicle. THE GOODWOOD SHIRLn.—The Duke of Orleans has made a present to the Paris Jockey Club of the magnificent silver shield which was the prize won by his Royal Highness's horse Beggarman at the Goodwood races. It is thirty-two inches in diameter, weighs more than 450 ounces, and is 500 guineas in value. On Monday last, an enormous pike, being three feet nine inches in length, one foot nine inches in circumference, and weighing 301b5., was taken in the Blenheim Water. This splendid fish has been presented by the Duke of Marlborough to the Ashmolean Museum, and will forma striking addition to the river fishes already in that collection. It is now in the hands of Mr. Wheeler, of Beaumont Buildings, who will no doubt, preserve the same with his usual ability.— Oxford Herald. BARNSLEY.—The weather during the past week has been beautifully fine, and the farmers on every side have been very active in getting together their crops in the best possible condition. To the south of that place nearly the whole of the.grain has been secured, and should we be favoured with a few more bright sunny days, the harvest, by the blessing of Divine Providence, will be quite finished. The Moor Edge farmers have at times had slight showers, but on Wednesday morning it fell in torrents.—Leeds Intelligencer. MELANCHOLY A CCIDENT.-011 Tuesd a y ' a very distressing accident happened between Wortley and Sheffield: It ap pears that on the above day, a respecable farmer in that neighbourhood, whose name has not reached us, was cutting a thorn hedge, after which he lit a fire to burn the cuttings ; going away for a short time, he returned again, and on ob serving the flames approaching too near the hedge, as he imagined, he took up a hay fork, and ran to remove th thorns, and melancholy to relate, in doing so, there was Al little boy in the way whoni he did not observe in the smoke, and the grains of the fork pierced his head in such a way that he died shortly after.—Leeds Intelligencer. BAILTON. —The dreary seven o'clock.bell, as it is called in Barton, has again commenced knolling • it is rung between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, irom the entrance of the first load of barley into the town (or rather Barton field) until Shrove Tuesday. It is said that, in times gone by, a certain old lady lost herself near the town, hut found her bearings by the casual ringing of the church bell, and appro priated a piece of land to compensate the parish clerk for the time beitig for ringing the bell As above-mentioned ; it is cer tain that the clerk holds a fat piece`Of land on'this tenure. — Hull Times. COMMODORE CHARLES NAPIER. C. B.—A pension of £l5O per annum has been granted to Captain Napier for the folloWing service :—Assisting at the reduction of Martinique ; attacking and taking ,a Sicilian convoy off Palinuro; landing and joining in the military operations at that place ; attack ing and taking the port of Sapri. The island of Ponza was captured under his direction ; he served in North America, under Sir James Gordon, in the river Potomac, in which enterprise he was wounded, Ho was promoted lieutenant, Nov. 30, 1805 ; commander, Nov. 30, 1807 ; captain, May ;42, 1809. Appointed to the Powerful, 80 guns, January 1, 1839. Amongst the passengers who have just left Havre for New York, is Mrs. Sutton, the American Prima Donna, who has returned from Italy. She is accompanied by her husband. Whilst singing at the opera at Uologna, Mrs. Sutton had the good fortune to be heard by Rossini, who was so delighted that, on the following day, he wrote a letter to her, in which he sus—" You are destined to a most brilliant theatrical career. Happy is America in having first produced such talent." Donizetti, who heard her in a private party in Paris last week, wrote a letter to her, in which he says—" I am certain that America is weaving for you the crown which you so well merit." CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—A family of the name of Hartill, residing at Dudley, have for the last two years been in a state of great despondency, in consequence of their son William, a boy shout 15, leaving home in January, 1838, and making every inquiry, could hear nothing respecting him, and concluded some misfortune had betel him, when luckily last Saturday night his father dreamt he was at a certain house, about two miles from Wolverhampton ; suoh was the impression that be, - started off on the Sunday morning, and sotnally found him at the precise place he had been dream ing ofi and brought him home, to the great surprise of his poor almost heart-broken mother.—Kidderminster Messenger. Tus NEv4i BISHOP OF CIIICHESTER. — The father of the new bishop was the Rev. H. Shuttleworth, vicar of Preston and also of the parish of Kirkham. Dr. Shuttleworth was horn in Preston, and received the rudiments of his education at the Corporation Grammar School, in this town. It used to be the boast of old Master Shepherd, who taught writing and arithmetic at this school, that he could count amongst his scholars an earl, (Derby) a baronet, (Houghton) and a judge, (Thompson) but never a bishop. Had the old gen tleman lived to this day, he would have attained the summit of his ambition, Dr. Shuttleworth having been amongst the later class of his pupils. • A. resident of Puckington, near Ilminster, hearing that his bees were more than commonly noisy, and very busy, watched their proceeding, when he discovered that they were actively engaged in killing the drones and throwing them from the hive. His attention was presently directed to a still more extrpordinary fact, for underneath the stool upon which* the hive rested,' he observed a large toad eagerly devouring the drones as fast as they fell to the ground; when two came together, the toad placed his paw upon one of them till he had eaten the other ; and when any time elapsed before one fell to the ground, he would apparently hearken and look upwards in eager anticipation of a further supply.—Chard Union Gazette. THE TIRED Nurtsr.—On Wednesday an inquest was held in London, before Mr. Wakley, to investigate the circum stances attending the death of Margaret Cutler, aged 39, an inmate of the workhouse Of St. James's, Clerkenwell.-Ann Collins, nurse of 24 ward in the workhouse, said, that the deceased was an inmate of that ward, and had been so about four years. She had been ill about a twelvemonth, The last week she was vary poorly, ,She made no complaint, but on Friday morning, about six oclock, witness found her on the bed dead, but did not state to any one that she was dead. She was not Uudressed,--Coroner ; When did you first give infermation that ahe was dead r--Witness ; On the Saturday morning, between eight and nine o'clock.—Coroner 26 hours after she was dead ?—Witness Yes. I was so fa tigued that I did not make a report.—The jury returned a verdict that the deceased was found dead, but that the cause of death was unknown. The jury, at the same time, ex pressed their disgust at the conduct of the nurse. INTELLIGENCE OF RUSSELL MAGISTRATES. — The Stock port Advertiser contains the following paragraph, elegantly revealing the estimation in which the acquirement of modern languages is held by the Russell magistrates of that whig ridden borough. One of the magistrates has recently had the honour of knighthood conferred upon him, and we pre sume it is he who gave the direction mentioned in the last sentence. On Monday, a Genoese, or Italian, whose name was given in as Pietro Picquette, was brought before our Borough Justices, on a charge of vagrancy. The policeman, Longson, stated the case, but when the defendant was called upon for his defence, he spoke his own vernacular. The Justices looked aghast—none of them had received lessons in the foreign languages—and none cif the old county magistrates were present. Sergeant Dough was desired to beonie in terpreter ; but even his pompous demeanour failed to wring one single word which the Court could understand, wept ' Manchester.' In 704 4i4 the sergpartt attempt to hold intercourse in English with the foreigner, who replying in Italian, left the officer in a dilemma. Pietro was at once discharged; and the policemen were directed not to appre hend anybody who could not speak plain English." HEARNE v. SrowtLL.—According to our promise, we give the evidence of the priests who were examined in this case in full, and several testimonies from clergymen, who have been in Ireland, of the fact of such penances being im posed. In Ireland similar proofs would be quite unnecessary, as there is not a day but ocular demonstration can be had of the fact. Indeed, we need not go farther than five miles from this city. At St. Shenan's Well, Doonas, those peni tential visitors may be seen every day in the year going round this holy well, performing penance on their bare knees, from which they rise generally lacerated, according to the extent of the penance, and having left their votive offering of a piece of rag, or, more generally, a wooden bowl, of which there 4re hund►eds nu the spit, they depart. Our English Meth= ran cannot Credit such doings,' bid we can *sit= them they are so common in Ireland as not to excite the least surprise in the spectators. The evidence of father Crooke is as pretty an illustration of the Romish doctrine of oaths as we have read for a long time, and as it seems to the people of England judging by the comments of the English press thereon, to tally irreconcileable with their ideas as to the sanctity of an oath, we shall probably furnish them in our next with some extracts from the recognised theological'works and canon laws of the Church of Rome, which have stood good friend s to Father Crooke in his hour of trial.—Limerick Standard HORRID CASE or POISONING.—A most suspicious case of an attempt to poison a whole family took place at Lindley, near Huddersfield ; the intended victims were Josh. PYson his wife, and four children hp is a weaver by trade. On the Kevrous evening the wife w, s making porr dge for the f mrly b sr;pper, when an old' woman of the neighbourhood named Sarah Morton, who bears the character of a miser, and who is in the habit of picking up every kind of filth which she carries in her pockets, and is otherwise of a doubtless cha racter, came in, and. observing how she was employed, the. wife, Mrs. Dyson, remarked she shOUld be forced to make porridge again in the morning for breakfast, as she had no bread balicd: On the departure of the old woman, the eldest bby; a lad of about 11`years of age, Observed to his mother that old Sally had diPther hand in the meat jar, she being in the habit of helping herself to any thing at every opportunity ; the mother, however, took no particular notice at the time, and on Wednesday morning made the porridge for breakfast, of which they all partook. and soon after the whole family were seized with sudden violent illness, which.continuing to increase, medical aid was sent for. The doctor administered emetics to the whole of them, who, with the exception of the Imbilnd vomited freely, the latter was n considerable time before be 'was relieved.: Vim sur geon examinedthe oven and round some corrosive subliMate of mercury on the oven plate, and he took the emetic to examine, which he found to con tain the same deadly ingredient; he also took some of the porridge which had been left, and carried it to Huddersfield to analyse, and it was likewise found redolent of the same. The old woman was conveyed to Staniland and her house searched, but as nothing could be found to substantiate any charge against her she is now at liberty. The family are in a fair way of recovery, but we hope a searching inquiry will be made into this most mysterious occurrence.—Leeds Intel THE MOCK RECTOR.—At the Oldham petty sessions on Monday last, (before J. Hordes and H. [libbert, magistrates) George Crowther, a commercial traveller, was charged with being drunk, riotous, and disorderly, at the Chorister public house, Henshaw-street, Oldham. It was stated that in the forenoon of Monday, he rode his horse into the lobby of the above public house, and demolished a number of squares of glass, besides annoying the publican. Mr. Absolom Wrigley. A short time previously, he had been at the Albion Inn, and destroyed a number of glasses, he had also been at other public houses, and gone on in a similar manner. On being asked what he had to say, the defendant spoke in a rambling way, and conducted himself as if insane. He several times spoke of being rector of Middleton, alluded to the part he had taken ahout . six years ago, in a remarkable case, for which he was punished, for having in one of his sprees at Middleton, where he had united a couple under pretence of being rector of Middleton. lie is described as being a well-known tra veller for a malting concern at IVlirfield, Yorkshire, and was accompanied in Oldham by a man, who gave his name as Joseph Tacvgill, and who enacted the part of a squire to the hero. The two adventurous rakes had ridden into the church yard at. Oldham a few minutes previous. Both were con victed in the damages and costs, and required to find two sureties each in £lO, with 24 hours' notice of bail, not being able to find bail, they were committed to the New Bailey.— /30/ton Chronicle. &bippilig Intelligenrt.

The forthcoming public .sales to be held on Thursday next have Interrupted all business by.private contract. The billowing will be brought forward :-20001 bales Australian and Tasmanian, iioo Spanish, 40 Capes, 30g Austrian, 500 East India, and 500 bales of other sorts. Imported this week, 294 bales; previously this year, 2,sgs bales ; total, 43,198 bales. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 16, The number of beasts to-day was decidedly; less than last week, and being hardly equal to the demand, both middling and prime beef were fully as dear. Of sheep and lambs the shew was nearly 1000 fewer than on this day se'nnight, and prices of both mutton and lamb were in consequence higher. There was nothing left unsold, except the very ordinary sorts of beasts and sheep. Beef, 6d to 6fd ; middling, sid to 6d; mutton, 64- to 7d ; ewes and middling, 5} to sfd ; and lamb 64 to 7cl per lb. sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL PROVI§JON MARKET, SEPT. 17. The London people are anxious.to increase their stock of Butter, ana have for this purpose purchased heavily in Ireland. This circumstance has been an incitement to speculators to " get on" in this market, but they have been met with extreme coolness on the part of regular importers. Our last quotations are spiritedly sup ported, and the probability is, that in our next report, we shall be enabled to place the currency of " Lot Belfast" at lees. There is very little , pickled Butter here.—g4s appears to be the price at which most holders are limited,—but we understand gas would be taken for delivery ftom the next steamer. Nothing at all of importance doing in provisions. " Wars and rumours of wars " makes no impression upon the nerves of purchasers. Bacon continues to be supported in price, with a good demand. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 15. Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour, from foreign ports, have been pretty considerable, but from Ireland and coast ways they are very moderate; and having had frequent heavy showers all over this district, the operations of harvest have pro gressed slowly, but as the temperature has been cool, and drying winds have occasionally prevailed, it is probable that the crops, still out, have not sustained much injury. Notwithstanding the release from Bond for home use of nearly the quantity of Wheat and Flour stated in our last circular, the demand has been very good throughout the past week, and the prices of both articles have been very fully supported; in some instances a little increase has been demanded by many of the im porters, seeing that the duty is again advancing; these has been a great dulness in sales of all other articles in the Corn trade, at about our quotations. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports is since Friday increased to 6s 8d per qr, and on Flour to 4s Oid per brl, which will be paid on some large parcels which have since arrived, appiehensive of a further advance •inthe duty next Friday, there is no alteration in the duties on any other article; the value of bonded Grain is nominally as if free deducting the duty. At this day's market we have had a very good attendance of millers and dealers, who purchased to a fair extent of every article in the trade at about the prices of this day week, except for Oats and Oatmeal, which were sold lower—id to 24 per 451 b on the former, and is to 2s per 2401 b on the latter. A little increase on the quotations of flue Wheat proceeds more from the superior qualities of old Wheat offered for sale, than from Any actual ad• vaucc on this article.
