We may fairly conclude from this circumAance, that the finer de scriptions of earthenware were not len made in the county. At a later period, the manufacture r f black, red. and yellow wares, from native clays, began, and the more extensive trade thus commenced was further increased by the introduction of the white clays of Devonshire and ,Cornwall; until, rib , uc the middle of the last century, the genius and enierprise of several eminent potters had ele vated crude manufacture into an elegant art, becoming also an important tributary to the sources of natural wrath.

The carts could not take on thy of the coals, and great part of them were of cuurs away by the succeeding tide. The wind was about S.S.W., blowing rather strong Towards dusk the pearance of the horizon indicated a gale, or was so con- sidered by the weather-wise here, and this a pprehension was verified before moraiug. A great number ut card with visitors, and small carts, congregated at and near the ship in the evening. The Cow and Call Rocks appeared quite naked, but the sea washing over thew. liainnediately a the bow of the ship, a baitk had been thrown up of sand and small stones commingled, probaby from the action of the tide upon her bottom At half-past four the tide came round her, and it became necessary to recede. The wind was about N.W., but draughts were flying about in different directions. The steam-tugs were again employed at high water to bring the ship off, but without effrct, and they had to put out into the offing—high water being about ten. The moon was bright, but towel ds morning it began to blow strongly from the S.W. The ship bad during the nigh; forged on La little further upon the beach, wii.h tier head MUCH more to the westward, being now nearly bow on to the land, or bosom of the bay. At ten this morning (high water being at 1011._ 40m.) fresh, with a heavy surf rolling all along the beach. The wind at this thine was about S. or S. by E., one of the tri•st unfavoui able for throwing the sea into the bay. The steam tugs (two from Liverpool) could riot ap- poach the ship during the tide, the sort beings() high and thieatening, and the rocks around so numerous. The vessel was nearly s.ern on to ihe sea, which occesiona ly dashed over her quarters and taffrad. She appeared to move, or flo*t, oceacs.ociaily; but tbougik the t,tie did not retire until eleven o'clock, no perceptible difference in her position was visible, the probability being, that (from ap pearances) she had got further into the bay by atiout her own length. The wind is still blowing freshly into the bay, and toe huge hull of the Leviathan steamer seems to be so.close in upon the land, that it will require the most extraordinary exertions to .get her off. Tuesday is the highest tide. L have seen a Mr. Janns, sub-inspector of the consta bulary here, and now stationed, with fourteen men, at t he Coast-guard station-house, about a quarter of an English mile from the Great Britain. where I was most kindly and hospitably received. Mr. Janns did his utmost with his men to ai'sist and protect the passenger s. Mr. Purdy, the chief boatman at the station, went on board at the hazard of bis life when the vessel struck, in company with boatmen, .Patrick Hannah, two of his sous, and a man named Hinds. - Soon after half-fast nine o'clock, when the vessel went on shore. on the night of the 22d, Mr. P. Fuy proceeded to the beach—Le residing in the immediate neighbour hood. He saw bluelights and rockets, and heard a gun fired from the ship, which last was answered from the Coast-guard Station. From the clear lights seen from the ship, she was discovered to be a large steamer. About three o'clock they succeeded in getting off a boat through the surf, which was still running dangerously and they with itifficulty got on board. This was the first boat that got to the ship, and was welcon.ely received. The passengers•remained on board for•two hours, it not being daylight, and the coast dangerous. Captain Hosken first landed the -ladies ; and, so far as I can 1-arn, Mr. Foy was most active in assisting to laud them.,and to seem e their luggage from damage or plunder. My own impression is, from what lcan learn in the locality, that the people here, with one or two exceptions, inseparable from such casualties. and the confusion that occurred, behaved with the utmost .kindness, honesty, and hospitality. Another attempt to get the vessel of will be wade to night, but bow fat this will be successful remains to be found. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (BY EXPRESS.) THE WAR IN KAFFIRLAND.—(From the Second Edi tion of Yesterday's Herald —The Maria Sorties, trans port vessel, has arrived at Portsmouth, with Cape of Good Hope journals to the 4th August inclusive. The Resis tance, from Monte Video, had reached Simon's Bay with the Reserve battalion of the 45th Regiment, and was followed by the Apollo, wi.b the 73.4 Regi ment, which would prove of great assistance to his Excellency the Governor, Sir Peregrine Maitland. We have neither confirmation nor contradiction of the reported death of Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart., of the Helena sloop, received by the former arrival from the Cap?, although we have reason to believe that few of the officers and crew of that vessel had been able to do duty, in consequence of severe illness. The news from the frontier is not of much importance. Sir Peregrine Mait land had at length made a "move" with the troops unde r his command, anti it was hoped that he was about to enter upon the war with something like energy and decision; but the writers in the Cape journals appear not very san guine that those hopes would be speedily realised. LONDON CORN EXCITANGE.-YESTERDAT During the week a large business has been flonein foreign Wheat and barrel Flour, at gradually advancing prices. At this -day's market there was only a moderate supply of English Wheat, which found buyers at about 38 per qr. over the cur rency of this day week, and a similar advance was realised in free foreign, with an improved country demand. Fine malting Barley and Malt Is dearer. Maple and Grey Peas Is. White boilers Is to 2s, and all descriptions of Beans fully is higher. We are more liberally. supplied with Oats this week.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YEaTICRDAY On the whole, the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, and last week's quotations were barely supported. From the northern districts we received 2200 short-horns; from the western and midland counties 700 Herefords, Bayous, Runts, &c., and from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds, the remainder of the supply being chiefly derived from abroad. __ With Sheep we were, comparatively speaking, very mode rately supplied; hence the Mutton trade was active,_ at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the currencies obtained on Monday last.

That is the turn be than the closing price on Saturday; but the business has t so limited that it w ishes no criterion. Exchequer Bills _ _ steady . at 15 18 ; _ Mexican Bor %i f New a e'er iterar y supported putrlic hospital. A stipendiary magisrrate ad ministers justice daily, taking the dlff.rent towns in rotution. And perhaps not the leas► of the advantages pos-essed, the district is constituted a Parliamentary bo rough by the Reform-bill, and sends tao members to the _i•lat-ure. How few of th. se things could have been eighty years ago, the " first sod" of the cant! was turned in Etruria valley ! 'One wonld have thought, that with the experience of ance, the dawn of the railway era, in the opening of tho Manchester and Liverpool line, would have been eagerly hailed by the inhabitants of the. Potteries; and so it was, with admiration ! but nothing more. It never seemed to enter men's minds that a rail way might become available to this district. The grand ;unction Company, after other schemes had failed, made various offers of accommodation. First they proposed what is called the T line from Whitmore, which was rejected. Then there was the Crescent line from.Crewe. through the Potteries to Stafford, which was also rejected, and it became evident that nothing less than a main line would give satitif , c'ion. This brings us to the close of 1844, when, at public meetings, called through the instrumentality of Alderman Copeland ((me of the Borough Members.) and Mr. liidgway, various plans were mooted. for direct communication wii h Man chester, Liverpool, and the new Port of Birkenhead. Tne Gland Junction Company also again proposed its w ß a r s an a e s h t e r s o ; but ngd the ispo,, i i ds ti e on of in t e s m o u 7 e tt i s l s fi c u o e u n t l/ d a t q h o u u a g r t h e r t e t r o e leave the matter with the Grand Junction on certain con ditions. the stipulation, that they should make the line, to he pointed out by engineers, mutually employed, as bring the best the nature of the country would admit of. AS er much negotiation, it was found that the Grand Junction 'Company would not acquiesce in anything likely to im pair the value of their own main line; and public spirit being new aronsed, and the ',wire of capitalists drawn to the subject, it was at length determined to farm an inde pendent company, of which John Lewis Ricardo, Erq , the other borough member, became the chairman. No sooner did the nrospectiis apoe,r than the project met with an almost unan'mous support, and as much anxiety was manifested for Ointments of shares, as there had been previous indifference to a participation in such un dertakings. Our readers are aware of the formidable opposition, and the number of rival schemes which im mediately appeared. 1 41 , , r the way in which opposition was disarmed by skilful negotiation, rivals converted into by amalgamation, and bubble schemes exploded, until finally the sanction of parliament was gained for the "North Stafin-dshire Company," we must refer to what has appeared from time to time in the puhlic papers. The local companies (pensioners) are called out for drill and exercise for four days, commencing on Tuesday, the 13th instant. MESSRS. LUCAS'S ESTABLISHMENT, GREAT CHAR LOTTE-STREET.—Amongst the improvements effected by private enterprize in our:town, we have seen few of so unique adescriptton as an addit ion recently made by Messrs. Lucas and Co., to their well-known extensive Horse and Carriaee Repository, Great Charlotte-street. Many of our readers have doubtless walked through the splendid carriage room, which during the race week is appr,,priated to the reception of the leading turf men, and has been used frequently as a dining room for the members of the Liverpool Agricultural Society. Under this room Messrs. Lucas have lately constructed capacious stabling, calcu lated to accommodate. in separate stalls and boxes, from 42 to 50 hoses, and at a pinch at least 70. The entrance is down a platform from the yard. The stable itself is floored with asphaltum. excellently drained, and is the airiest and best ventilated apartment we ever entered. The stalls, of alvery elegant construc . ion, run up each side of the stable, with very neat cast iron racks and mangers, and channels to carry off at once the liquid manure from each. _ Down the centre is a row of boxes, railed round and of very neat construction, affording t' the horses oc envying them plenty both of standing and breathing space. The supply of water in abundance is introduced into the stable ; and, in fact, the accommodation for the conve nience of grooming, &c., is complete. The construc tion of the stalls and boxes is upon a plan which allows of the whole stable being converted, at not more than an repository. the stalls being unshipped easily and falling on hinges like gates against the wall, while the inter for ihivi•ion of the boxes are removed with equal facility. The improvement reflects credit both upon the enterprise of Messrs Lucas and the ability of the architect employed by them. NE O'CLOCP VympA, ...--.....-...-,..,.... CONDITION OF THE PEASANTRY.

The employers. how ever, appear to claim a scut of triumph, as if the result was not at all against them. This is important. The yeomen of Ryme are quite satisfied with the expo,e. Thry con‘ider themselves not a bit worse than their neighbburs —if anything, rather more !iberal. Ryme, therefore, may he set down as a favourable, or at least fair. specimen of airsetshire ; and unless the proprietors and occupiers of the county come fjrward to protest against the inference, we may assume that their labourers live under the very same riginte that is here disclosed. As the agricultural oligarchy of Ryme is so satisfied with the evidence, we shall be acting fairly by all parties if we quote it. On the subject of wages there appears to be a great consent of testimony. Till this year. when a raili% ad raised the market is. all the year round, with a little more at harvest, was considered enough for a full-grown man at Rvme. WILLIAM BARTLETT had no more than 7s. and cider at harvest. His eldest son, two-and-twenty, was so fortunate for a time as to get Bs., the usual rate for single men bring only 6s. This was last spring, and he is now off to the railroad. Previaus to that at the age of 16. he had 2s. 6(1. a-week, and neither of the sons hid 3s. a-week Ziil they were 17. Another labourer, WILLIAM. RUGLER, was born and bred in the place, and had worked tor his employer a dozen years, in and out, doing any kind of work. For 24 days in the summer he b,d 9i. a-week, besides cider, but, be continues, " the rest of the year I hare is. o-week. That has been the usual amount of wages here ; we hare not had more that I recollect." lie proceeds to explain the difficulty of rising a shillina or two above this hungry average by " tut-work." His two sons, 17 and 14, each has the nominal income of 2s. 6d., with considerable deductions for lost time when work cannot be found for them. HENRY SIM'S says,— " The regular Price of labour given in this parish for years past has been seven shillings a week. I worked fur Mr. Brake for that sum all through the summer and harvest of last year, but liquor was allowed me. This spring the wages were raised to Bs., and this harvest I made 9s. by tut-work. I had seven children living when I worked fur 7s. a week, and in the summer of last year I had only one day's tut-work at mowing. M y eldest son is 15 ; be works for Mr. Genge, the farmer and carpenter, at 2s. 6d. a week. My next son is ten ;be works for Mr. Brake, at Is. 3d. a week." . . _ - : Agrippa Gill, nearly 23, says that before June in this year his wages were never more than ss. a week, except when he was at tut-wm k out of his regular employ. Two young men at 17, threshed oats by the measure, and got 3s. a week. The s.in:e evidence is given by all. It is remark able that 10s. is the very highest wages mentioned in the whole proceedings, whatever the work, whoever the master. It appears to he the acme' of a UlJrsetshire labourer's ambition. If fur two or three months in the year, by being up early and late, and taxing his sinews to the utmost, he can get 10s. a week, he is a prosperous man, and the envy of the parith. But, as our readers are probably aware by this time, these magnificent 75., and 6s , and 2s. 6d. are not to be set down as net income. They are not given solely, or even chiefly, in money, but also in goods ; and what those goods shall be does not entirely depend on the labourer's fancy. A labourer with five children says, that "he sometimes takes as little as £2 in a whole year in money, taking the rest of his earnings in goods." The employers keep shop either with or without disguise, and the la bourers must deal with them. We say " must," but that is questioned ;so let us see. In the first ulsce, the labourers are generally in debt, that is, if they are honest men. " I have not very often been out of debt at the shop," says one of the witnesses; " I don't think any working men about hen " they can be trusted." Everybody will see w labourer always in arrear. As for the degree of compul sion there is to take goods in lieu of money, tbat is rather a question of terms than of fact. Whether it be called compulsion, or constraint, or persuasion, or expectation, the fact is the same, and appears to be very thoroughly apprehended and felt by the labourers of Ryme. For our own part, a e should be exceedingly sorry to find ourselves under the same persuasion to do anything we do not like to do as these labonrers are under to take their wages in " goods." But they shall describe this peculiar degree of persuasion. William Bugler says— Mr. Loves' POLYPHONIC ENTERTAINMENTS.—On Friday and Monday evenings next, this unique mimic and ventriloquist will give historical lectures upon the occult powers of the human voice, at the Royal Assembly Rooms, St. George-Street.

REI lIEF IN KERRY.—The Ker-y Evening Post says: —" The good work goes on bravely in this county. The landlords of Kerry ale discharging nobly the duties of their high position. To relieve the distress of their destitute fellow-countrymen, they are taxing their pro perties with a liberal—we might almost say ruinous— hand. A half-barony in this county, (North Dutiker ron,) valued at £6,000 per annum, taxes itself with £ l 2.ooo—the fourth of the Government grant for all Ire land. Already have we announced the granting by the magistrates and cesspayers of £20,000 at Cahirciveen, for the barony of Iveragh ; and of £12.000 in the north half barony of Dunkerron. We have this day to add to that li-t £22,000 granted on Wednesday last in Listowel, for Irraghticonnor ;\ and £30,000 on Thursday, at O'Dorney, for Clanmaurice.

Water, however, could not. be ob tained quite pure, but if it could be had with a h.rdness of two degrees a gallon, which we believe to be quite pot sible, a saving would be effected to Vie town of nearly £50,000 a year; and this without taking into account the saving accruing in manufactories, steam boilers, breweries, &c. It is a low estimate, therefore, to state the hard wafer tax of Liverpool at £50,000 a year, every farthing of whic:i is actually thrown otray, without any return whatever. Now this sum represents a capital of one million and a quarter sterling. at 4 per cent., which might be laid out in obta , t,ing a supply of soft water, wi . hout adding one farthing to the present water rental cf the town.

ANNALS OF . THE POOR.—Mr. Wakley held an inquest at Chelfea last Saturday, on the body of a female infant thrte months old, the child of very poor parents named Frith.

He offered them the workhouse, and they re fused it; he acted strictly by the law. The coroner doubted whether Mr. Bush's interpretation of the law was correct, and assumed, that as the man was sick he was bound to relieve their family. Mr. Keene, the medical officer, stated that the man looked very thin arid miserable when he was suffering under the quinsey. He did not order him nourishing food, as a man with a quinsey could not swallow. On a former occasion he had ordered nourishing food, and that order had not been at• tended to.
