r~ ti. 4 t 1 • 1 - 4 ik p . . . . . - • SKETCHES OP LIVERPOOL AND ITS VICINITY NO. VI.--A RAMBLE TO BOOTLE, WATERLOO, AND CROSBY (Written for the Lirerpool Standard.) I was the other day invited by the fineness of the weather to dispel the ennui by a stroll to the northward, from the Exchange The first portion of the road along the shore by Git at Howard-street, the principal northern outlet in that quarte., presents few proximate objects of interest ; being for some distance straight, and, through brickfields out of which, the clay being of good quality, a large portion of the town ha been built within a comparatively few years. St. Martin's Church, with its steeple, stands on the right. The stone of this modern structure has become so black and dismal from the earthy matter with which it is incorporated, that it seems as if it had been buried in the earth for ages, and had 133 en disinterred by some supernatural agency. It is of neat Gothic design, but the effect is destroyed its discolourment, and as there appears to be no remedy, it will stand (should it not prematurely crumble away) a lastin ,, and truly " mourn ful" monument of the carelessness and impolicy of employ ing in the erection of a public building a material so inferior and so unseemly in appearance. Beyond it, rises Everton, with its fine church and detached mansions, amongst trees, overlooking in silent pride the noisy town. Bootle Bay, the Widening expance of the river, and the Cheshire shore termi nating in the point on which stand the Rock Perch Battery and Lighthouse, form the view to the north. Proceeding onward, the country becomes more diversi fied and agreeable. On the right stands the " Sand Hills," the seat of Isaac Hohnc, Esq., between the road and the Leeds and Liverpool canal. There are still some " sand hills" be tween it and the beach, and these, some years ago, lined the whole coast for miles to the north ; but such has been the march of improvement, that many of them have been levelled, and their sites sloping to the sea covered with grass, or en closed in pleasure grounds. Passing a toll-bar the traveller reaches BOOTLE ; a place, including the hamlet oi Linacre, of considerable maz nitude, in the parish of Walton. Situated in the bay to which it gives name, it was until of recent years the principal bath ing, place in the neighbourhood of the town, and its shore is still much frequented by bathers in the summer months, for whose accommodation numerous machines are pro vided at a moderate cost. It is principally composed of modern villas surrounded by trees, shrubberies, grass-plats, and gardens, most of which command a line view of the es tuary of, and entrances to, the river. The greater part of the site was, about fifteen or eighteen years ago, sand-hills and sandy commons, covered with wiry grass and (urge—the abodes of rabbits The houses are, for the most part, de tached in enclosed grounds, and are neatly built in various styles. Much pains has been taken by the proprietors to rear such trees and shrubs as are of speedy growth, and can with stand the saline sea breeze. Here, on the sandy shore are con spicuous two landmarks a short distance from each other and parallel with the line of the river. They are built of stone, on handsome basements, and are of a tapering square form resem bling monumental pillars: They are both alike, are about IGO feet in height, and are rendered more distinguishable by being painted black and white. Behind the village (if it may be so called), and between it and Walton church, on an emi nence, is another landmark built of sparred woodwork, of a pyramidal form with a diamond shaped top. By noticing the several bearings of these and other similar objects, the mariner safely guides his vessel through the intricacies of the channel. Bootle church (dedicated to St. Mary) is a brick building, with little of internal beauty, It was opened in 1827. At the time of its erection there were •comparatively but few houses on this part of the shore, and'as it was supposed that it would be much exposed to the winter's gales, (which, however, have not been so formidable as was anticipated,) it has no windows to the west end, and has consequently a rather dull appearance. The church is crusiform with two square towers also of brick, one at each corner of the west end. The style is plain Gothic with pointed arched windows, and an embattled red stone parapet or blocking. At each corner of the transept there rises a Gothic octagonal shaft, which gives some relief to the general plainness of the structure. The interior is comfortably fitted up, and the surrounding church-yard is of considerable extent. There are two good inns in Bootle, one near the shore and another a short dis tance to the east of the high road: to the last there is a good bowling-green. The omnibuses, which keep up a lively in tercourse with the town and neighbourhood as far as Great Crosby, frequently diverge to take- up and set down passen gers. At the north end of Bottle are some " natty" little cottages, each (as is not uncommon in the vicinity) inscribed with fanciful names,—as Rose Cottage, May Cottage, and the like. Several new detached houses and villas here, as well as along the whole coast as far as Crosby, and we may add, Formby, are in course of erection, demonstrating the growing popularity and increasing importance of this part of the neighbourhood. It is probable, indeed, that at no very distant period the whole will form a continuous line, giving a warmth of appearance to many miles of our northern shore. The visitor, as he proceeds onward, will turn a frequent eye to the marine scenery that constantly invites his atten tion on the left. The view westwards expands, as he pro ceeds, until the Irish sea, thick with vessels, and the northern • high land of Wales are stretched before him. SEAFORTH. The excursionist leaving Bootle, soon reaches Seaforth. The church and hamlet are on the east or landward side of the high road to Crosby, whence, at this point, the houses perched on the heights of New Brighton are distinctly and singly conspicuous. Seaforth is well worthy of a visit. The church, a neat building, of considerable size, with an octa gonal topped tower, stands on a gentle eminence, amongst trees. The hamlet, in a hollow behind it, consists of villas and cottages of great neatness, chiefly detached, amongst woods, gardens. and flower-plots. After passing a lane lead ing direct to it from the Crosby road, across a common, the traveller will observe a large and splendid marine mansion in course of erection on the left, in a spacious area en closed within high walls. This is the property of Mr. Mus pratt, manufacturer of chemical acids. The house, in point of size and architectural grandeur excels any modern build ing in this part of the country. It is of the Grecian order. The three fronts are of light-coloured free-stone. The west or principal front has a colonnade of lonic columns, and there is a smaller indented colonnade in the south front. The grounds are spacious, and the view, particularly west ward, extensive, though the ground is but little elevated above the sea. It is one of the most splendid and orna mental edifices in the neighbourhood. 1 have heard the cost stated at about £70,000 ; but of the accuracy of the estimate I cannot judge. Mr. Muspratt is the well-known proprietor of extensive works at Newton-in-the-Willows, Vauxhall road, in this town, &c. A little to the north, and on the same side, are two neat villas, in the Elizabethian style, belonging to Mr. Penny, one of them behind the other. On the opposite side, ano ther lane leads at a right angle with the road to Seaforth ; and facing this lane, as well as the road running northward, in the angle, are several mansions of considerable size, sur rounded by gardens and shrubberies. Here, stretching to the north, lies Crosby marsh or common, now partly en closed, and on part of which stands Waterloo: Not far dis tant is Seaforth House, a handsome mansion belonging to John Gladstone, Esq. WATERLOO. This is the largest and most fashionable bathing-place within a moderate distance of the town. It is a favourite summer resort of our wealthier citizens and their families, who find easy access to it in the several omnibuses, or in their own vehicles. It is delightfully situated at the northern extremity of Bootle Bay, has a tine smooth sandy beach, and is annually increasing in size. There is a direct road to it across the common, from its southern extremity ; hut it is paved on the sandy soil, and has gone so much out of repair, that carriages proceed toward Crosby, and turn down 'to it by a lane at a right angle. The pedestrian may take the nearer cut by the marsh, which is now partially enclosed within rails. The first object of attraction is the new church, built on the north-west corner of the marsh, and near to the entrance to the village. The foundation-stone was laid in October last, and the exterior of the edifice is now completed. It is built of red freestone, and is of gothic architecture. The principal front is to the westward, where it has a tower of three stories in height, rising to an elevation of fifty-six feet. The upper story consists of au ornamental belfry, with two latticed pointed windows abreast on each side. The whole is surmounted by an embattled parapet. In the middle of the tower on the west there is a decorative fineal foliated cross. Diagonal buttresses support the angles both of the tower and the church. A staircase on one side, and a vesti bule on the other, form wings to the tower. There are six gothic windows on each side the church, and between them are boldly-projecting buttresses. A plain uniform parapet finishes the walls. On each side of the chancel are five sided erections projecting from it, one of them forming a spacious lobby, and the other the vestry-room. Each angle of these is supported by a buttress, giving the whole a massy and rich appearance. The church is 64 ft. 2 in. in length, and 43 ft. 4 in. in width ; the extretne length, including the tower, being 93 ft. Waterloo can already boast of several streets, besides the ranges of origind luri,ef, facin g th e sea . Th ere are severa l large and commodious inns, particularly the Waterloo and Wellington Hotels. The former, kept by o ur t ownsman Mr. Towers, together with several cottages, and then called the " Crosby Sea-bank Cottages and Hotel," were conjointly built in, I believe, ]e2o-7, and formed t h e nucleus whence the place has sprang into inipertance. Several houses are built near the shore to the south of it, but the greater por tion of the building is to the north. In front of the Water loo, and the detached cottages near it, there is a field or lawn, with crave' walks sloping to the sea. B eyond these, on the north, there is a row of more modern and more ela borately-finished cot! age houses. with dower-plots ; 0 front. The next and most conspicuous range is the " Crescent," a continuous long raitive of two-story cottage residences, form ing. a segment of a circle, and also facing the sea, with grass and flower-plots railed in in front, and a sloping lawn be tween them and the sands below. Each of these cottages has its neat light veranda in various tastes, and the flowers are beautiful and thriving. This is a public resort of pro menaders, or children, or playing. The air is delight fully exhilarating ; the sands below are farm and smooth, and, when the tide is out, afford extensive walks, or rides in carriages or on horseback. The views from Waterloo are extensive, particularly to the seaward. The shore to the north is edged with sand hills, on which, however, the habitations of men continue to creep out. - A portion ofthe marsh or common also extends to the north of the village. Part of it is already laid out in streets at right angles. In one of these, behind the Crescent, there is a small \V Evangelical Presbyterian Chapel," not yet interiorly finished. It is lighted bey an octangular dome or roof-light. \Mien completed it will accommodate from 400 to 450 individuals. There are in the village seve ral shops, libraries, and billiard-rooms, and at the inns hot and cold baths. Northward of the Creicent, and across a part of the com mon called the " Warren," there are a num b er o f cottage houses, called " Brighton , ' built a few years ago, on the east side of some 'mire elevated land, which has been en closed,-and converted (iron sand-hills) int o a ti ne smoot h field, sloping to the shore. These have flower-plots in front, and gardens behind ; and are from their elevated position, as well as beiog more, retired, preferred by some parties to the Crescent itself. They base neat latticed Porticos, and the fronts of several of them are entirely covered with ivy, woodbine, and other decorative wall-plants. After, visiting a veined friend, who has occupied one of these houses for some years, and finds in it a grateful solace, during • the summer months, from the cares of active life, I strolled down the field in front, and seating myself on the grass, to enjoy at leisure the varied and extensive prospect that lay before. me. 1 lionented that I had no one near me to share those pleasurable sensations which it was calculated to excite. Zimmerman might have written on the charms of soltude to the preseot time ; but the love of solitude, ex cepting on peculiar eccasions, when retirement and self communion become a virtue, is at. Lest but a Churlish passion, pardonable only. in the •:.cetiti anchorite, or the self-con demned recluse. For my,: If. I never, in the course of my solitary rambles in foreigu countries or at home, caine upon an interesting, a be:initial, or a sublime picture iron the pencil of nature, (assisted, as it might be, by that of art); but I felt one regret, and that was that I had not there friends of .kindred spirit around tee to whom I could express my feelings, tend enjoy a double gratification by blending my ad miration. of , what I behold with theirs. Nay, I would not have even n „ )ine enemy denied the gratification, if such it upon scenes which, fruits their magnitude, would be, of gazing beauty, or peculiarity. would have a tendency to elevate the mind, to soften the rude asperities of our common nature — to lead us, in fine, to look " from nature up to nature's God." . Struck .with the magnitude and beauty of the scene before me, in which Town, hainlet, Itotnes'ead—all appeared - in view; Th' extended sea, the distant mountains blue,— • • I beoame wrapped in listless contemplation, from which I was roused by the gentle sound sir footsteps on the sward be- 1! hind me, and turning round I recognised my esteemed and long absent friend, Edward E—. He as little expected to meet me there as I did him, but there was nothing remark able in the rencounter beyond the coincidence of his advent at a moment when I longed for a companion in my ramble. He had returned from the Isle of Man on the previous day, . and had accepted of the invitation of an old friend to spend the leisure hours of a few days at Waterloo. After our mu tual salutation's had subsided, we sat down together on the grass, and began to scan with more curious eye the scene before us. Northward, at a distance of about two miles and a half, lay the Formby Light-ship, moored at an angle of the new chan nel, as a guide to mariners. Many vessels were in motion near it, under sail or steam—some outward, others inward bound,—to or from Ireland or Scotland, orToreign parts. The Horse Channel, along the northern coast of the Wirrall Peninsula, was even more thronged with vessels, the greater part steering inward; and the noble expanse of the sea, to wards the Isle of Man, so far as the eye could reach, was . studded with vessels. The smoke of the distant steamers was seen on the horizon in long horizontal lines, though their hulls were invisible. The far distant ships appeared motion less, while the constant movements and mutations of the nearer gave variety and animation to the picture,—for though the water from its great expanse appeared to be comparatively smooth, there was a breeze outside that furrowed it into waves, and filled every sail. At onetime we counted upwards of a hundred and thirty sail, including steamers, all visible without turning the head. Many of these were gallant ships bound on long and perilous voyages to distant shores, on the passage to which months might roll, while around them no thing would be seen but the tractless ocean. This reminded my friend of the beautiful lines of Dyer Glide the tall fleet into the widening main, A floating forest ; every sail unfurled, Swells to the wind—" " Meantime in pleasing course the pilot steers, Steady, with eye intent upon the steel, Steady before the wind the pilot steers, While gaily o'er the waves the mountain prows Dance, like a shoal of dolphins, and begin To streak with various paths the hoary deep. Yet steady o'er the waves they steer, and now The fluctuating world of waters wide, In boundless magnitude, around them swell, O'er whose imaginary brim, nor towns, Nor woods, nor mountain tops, nor ought appears, But Phoebus' orb, refulgent lamp of light, Millions of leagues aloft." — Looking southward front the spot where we sat, the circuit of Bootle Bay is fully embraced, and the smoke-covered town, overlooked by Everton, has a truly maritime appearance ; the houses and buildings forming a dark mass, relieved by domes and towers, spires and lofty chimneys in commingled prosimity,—and thel whole terminating on the west in an apparent point or forest of masts formed by the northern docks and shipping, the further extremity or boundary of the bay. When my friend turned towards this portion of the scene, and beheld, too, the•numerons vessels in the river, the several ferries, thick with houses on the Cheshire side of the estuar , and the villages and villas, stretching north ward on the Lancashire shore almost to oar feet,—the whole emanating from the industry, enterprise,'and wealth of Li verpool, and forming, as it were, part and parcel of that magnificent town, he quoted from a small 'manual of manu script extracts which be carried with him, the following ob servations of the celebrated and eloquent Erskine, when employed on a trial in which the Corporation of the town was concerned many years ago. " If I could describe," said he, " my own feelings, when I saw Liverpool not many years ago; if I were capable of painting to you in words the impression it made on my ima gination, it would make a beautiful picture indeed. I bad before and often been in all the seaports in this island which we inhabit, and believed that having seen Bristol, and three other towns that justly pass for great ones, I had seen every thing in this nation of navigators on which a subject should pride himself: I own I was astonished and astounded, when, after passing a distant ferry and ascending a hill which overlooks the city, 1 was told by my guide,—' All that you see spread out beneath you, that immense city which stands like another Venice upon the waters ; which is intersected by these numerous docks, which glitters with these cheerful habitations of well-protected men, which is the busy seat of trade, and the gay scene of elegant amusements growing out of its prosperity, where there is the. most cheerful face of in dustry ; where there are rivers flowing and everything that can delight a man who wishes to see the property of a great community, and a great empire ;—all this has been created by the industry and well-disciplined management of a handful of men, in a corner of this island, since you were a boy r—l must have been (continued Erskine) a stone not to have been affected by such a picture. This quondam village, which is now fit to be a proud capital for any empire in the world, has started up like an enchanted paiace; even in the memory of living men." • " Such," said my friend, " were the feelings of that dis tinguished speaker and scholar, long before the hand of modern improvement, and the application of additional wealth had given new and even more imposing features to our town and its suburbs. What would Erskine have ex claimed," he inquired, " had he stood where we now are — had he seen this noble mercantile fleet, propelled by sail or steam, covering the extended sea like swans ;—the increase of the town spreading like a huge Leviathan along the shore, her numerous new and splendid public: and private edifices, her widened streets full of gorgeous shops, her noble steam and sailing ships of increased size, her additional docks, her railway,—in fine, her general advancement in population and opulence ! If a man of such susceptibility were astonished then, he would assuredly be struck dumb now." The objects of interest before us were not yet exhausted. To the south-West were seen the several ferries and villages on the Cheshire shore, from the " Royal Rock" to the Rock Lighthouse,—Brighton being the nearest, with its houses perched on the top of a hill or promontory. The eye, ranging thence westward along the Wirrall coast, descried the Lea sowe and Hoylake Lighthouses, and beyond them Hilbre Island, and the misty embayment, formed by the estuary of the Dee, between it and the Point of Ayr. If the more im mediate view was beautiful, the back-ground partook in a proportionate degree of the sublime. The whole of the Welsh mountains, from Moel Famina southward, with its monument commemorative of the battle of Waterloo, to the Ormsheads, which form a bold headland on the north,—including Pen =umlaur and other of the Snowdonian range,—rise abrupt and majestic in the haze of distance, and, by their bulk and sombre placidity, present a striking contrast to the ships in the oiling, which, though huge as specimens of art, appear comparatively but as specks. In very clear weather, the Isle of Man, it is said, is distinctly visible. The rich coun try on the east—from the ridge of high ground near Orms kirk to Everton, generally undulated - and wooded, with vil lages, seats, churches, windmills, and other objects—meets the eye of the spectator. completing a panorama of rural and commercial life, of sea and land, of nature and of art, which it is impossible to behold without feelings of admiration and delight. The climate of Waterloo, as indeed of the whole of the western coast of our county, is remarkably mild, when its northern latitude and exposure to the sea-breeze are consi dered, and it is proverbially salubrious. The soil being light and friable, the rays of the sun have their full effect, and flowers and vegetables are here more early than in many of the interior districts. We rose to depart. The breeze had considerable fallen, and the declining sun shone with less intense, but with bril liant ruddy ray, gilding in vivid streak the gently rippling sea. The vessels that had appeared like " white and sheeted giants," while the sun shone upon their sails between them and the eye of the spectator, now became dark in the distance, that luminary shinin ,, on the opposite side of them, and throwing them into the shade. The sea, too, assumed a dif ferent aspect, and the mutations we had witnessed recalled, as we took a final and lingering view of it, the beautiful lines of Crabbe "Turn to the watery world !—but who to thee (A wonder yet unviewed) shall paint the sea ! Various and vast, sublime in all its forms, When lulled by zephyrs, or when roused by storms. Its colours changing when the clouds and sun, Shades after shades upon the surface run ; Embrowned and horrid now, and now serene, In limpid blue, and evanescent green; And oft the foggy banks on ocean lie, Lift the far sail, and cheat the experienced eye. Then the broad bosom of the ocean keeps An equal motion swelling as it sleeps; Then slowly sinking, curling to the strand, Faint lazy waves o'ercreep the ridgy sand, Or tap the tarry boat with gentle glow, And back return in silence, smooth and slow. Ships in the calm seem anchored, for they glide On the still sea, urged solely by the tide : Art thou not present this calm scene before, When all between is sandy length of shore." CROSBY. We took our way, in the cool of the evening, to Great Crosby, a village to the N.N.E., and about a mile antra half distant, on a slightly elevated site. The tower of the church, and some high trees, mark its position in the surrounding champaign country. This village, though small, and the sur rounding villas, are the frequent summer resort, as is Water loo, of our wealthier inhabitants and others, who hither be take themselves after the business of the day. Before en tering it, the visiter passes several handsome villas and houses with gardens, including a range called " Stansfield," and another, " Belle Vue." There is also a small Catholic Cha pel. One of the first houses in the village is an ancient stone house, facing the west, with a 'lawn or field in front, sur rounded by lofty trees. The village itself is somewhat strag gling, but is a dean and lively place, consisting of houses and cottages, ancient and modern, with gardens, shrubberies, and fruit trees. The church is a small but neat and somewhat antique brick building, with a small tower, surmounted at the corners with ornamental balls or globes, and in the centre by a large and serviceable weather vane.. The church has three round-topped windows on each side. The parsonage is a neat cottage house, close by, in the middle of a garden, and alinwt covered with pear trees, one of which spreads its br l an i c e !he re s a e r y t n w o o n it t , l n ie s, roof. at both of which the omnibuses arrive from, and depart for, the town, almost every hour of the day. The intercours e thus maintained is, considering the smallness of the place, truly astonishing. At the north end of the village the road diverges to the right, and a triangular area is formed, in which is the ancient pinfold, enclosed by a circular wall. Several small houses have recently been built, and though a few of the inferior clay built cottages are falling into decay, the village appears to be in a prosperous con dition. LITTLE CROSBY. of l one princi staiii the middle I g u r r os . nd s and About a mile to the northward, iiia hamlet, pal street, Kith nothing peculiarly attractive half of it there is a stone cross erected, on a pedestal and bearing date 1738.

We purpose, however, to enjoy that gratification on an early occasion, and I shall probably no tice it in some future sketch. We retraced our steps to Waterloo, where I took leave of my friend, who promised, on our nextmeeting, to furnish me with same particulars of his trip td the Isle of Man. ~.raill•=ll.. f English Bench of Bishops, having been consecrated Bishop THE BISHOPS.—The Archbishop oi• York is athe i r ß or sh t o h p e of Carlisle in 1791, and translated to the see of York . n 1807: his grace is consequently in the fiftieth year of his ,., Episco pate.

BRITISH GUIANA EXTRACTS FROM " A DESCRIPTION OF BRITISH GUIANA, GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL : EXHIBITING ITS RESOURCES AND CAPABILITIES, TOGETHER WITH THE PRESENT CONDITION, AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF 'rife COLONY. By R. H. ScHoMBURGIC, EsQ. " (Continued from our last.) CLIMATE. Though Guiana is situated on the torrid zone, it enjoys comparatively a more temperate climate than other countries under the same latitude. The mean temperature for the year is 81°'2, the maximum 90 degrees, the minimum 74 de grees. It is generally considered that two wet and two dry seasons constitute the changes during the year. However regular the setting in of these periods may have been for merly, this has not been the case during later years. The great dry season commences at the coast regions towards the end of August, and continues to the end of November, after which showers of rain follow to the end of January : the short dry season continues in the middle of February, and continues to the middle of April. The rains descend afterwards in torrents, and the rivers commence to inundate their shores. During that period the wind is frequently from the west and south-west, and, coming from the land. is thought un healthier than the regular sea-breeze, which timing the dry season begins to set in between ten and eleven A.M., and con tinues until sunset, sometimes even through the night. The months of October and November are the most delightful in the year; the sky cloudless, the heat moderate, and the thermometer at noontide scarcely higher than 85 degrees Fahr. During the rainy season the oppressive weight of the atmosphere is tempered by northern breezes, and in the months of September to November the breezes from the east and south-east, which have passed over a vast extent of the ocean, are invigorating. and refresh the air to such a degree, that during the night the thermometer has been known to fall to 74 degrees Fahr. • The moisture necessary to maintain vegetation is then re placed by dew ; and not only in the interior, where the coun try is not extensively , cleared, but likewise in the open savan nahs, the trees and plants will be found in the morning dripping with dew. The change of the season is marked by severe thunder storms ; but however loud the peals of thunder may rever berate, and however vivid the flashes of lightning which pre cede them. fatal accidents by lightning are unknown in Guiana. Gales are scarcely known, much less those terrific pliwnomena of nature—hurricanes, which in the neighbouring islands destroy in a brief time the fruits of many years' labour, causing devastation and loss of life to a vast extent. A few shocks of earthquake are occasionally felt, but they are so insignificant that the inhabitants scarcely notice them when they occur. The temperature of the interior is still more mild, and the climate healthy. The season in the interior is only marked by two changes ; from the month of August to the month of March there are only occasional showers, but from March to August the rain descen& in torrents, and the rivers com mence to swell and overflow their banks, to a greater or less extent according to their locality. The night is generally from 8 degrees to 10 degrees cooler than the day. A greater difference prevails however at the table land, from which Roraima rises to a height of 7000 feet; there I have known a difference of 35 degrees in the range of the thermometer, compared at the hours of five in the morn ing and two in the afternoon. At this table-land, which was only elevated about 3000 feet above the sea, the thermometer half an hour before sunrise ranged between 59 degrees and 62 degrees, and rose between two and three o'clock in the afternoon to 95 degress in the shade. When the heat of the air is greatest, the temperature of the water in the rivers is at its lowest comparative point; and during night, but chiefly towards sunrise, the water is about 10 deg. warmer than the air. The Indian takes his custom ary bath generally in the morning, when the water is most congenial to the feelings. The climate of British Guiana has been described as un healthy, and detrimental to European settlers ; consequently. emigrants have rather preferred encountering the chilly blasts and severe winters of Canada and the United States, or to subject themselves to the horrors of a prolonged voyage to Australia, there to suffer expatriation perhaps for ever from their native homes and families, than to settle in a colony where constant summer prevails, and which, with the nigh establishment of regular steam-boats to those parts, may be reached in 16 or 17 days from England. But by a comparison of facts, it may be demonstrated that the climate of British Guiana ensures as great a duration of life as that of many European countries. It has been proved " that the range of mortality even among the labouring population, is about one in thirty seven to forty, but in Lon don and France it is equal as regaris the whole population, rich and poor, and in other countries it is even more : thus in Naples one in thirty-four ; Wirtemberg, one in thirty three ; Paris, one in thirty-two ; Madrid, one in twenty nine ; Rome, one in twenty-five ; Amsterdam, one in twenty four ; Vienna, one in twenty-two and a half; and a com parison of the mortality in Demerara and the healthy county of Rutlandshire in England, proves that duration of life is in favour of the colony." The fatal cholera which committed such destruction in Asia, Europe, and America, and which in Quebec carried to the grave a tenth of its whole population, was never felt in - Guiana, neither was the influenza or the grippe. When physicians were unacquainted with the proper method of treating the yellow fever, many Europeans fell victims to that disease. Medical men are at present more successful in its treatment, and for many years it had totally disappeared. After an interval of fifteen years it showed itself again in 1837, and was evidently to be ascribed to local causes, viz., to the neglected state of the sewers and the filth accumulated between the wharfs. The wharfs, _which extend along Water street or the commercial part of Georgetown, were formerly erected upon piles, and the tide had full access to carry off whatever filth had accumulated : at a later period these wharfs have been erected of masonwork, and as a separate wharf is generally attached to every lot or building, openings have re mained between them which are too narrow to allow the tide to enter freely and to sweep away the impure matter thrown there by neglect. The rapid decomposition of animal and vegetable matter under the tropics created in this instance an effluvium, which is generally considered by the physicians in the colony to have been the cause of the late calamity. It showed itself therefore first in Water-street, and was mostly restricted to that part of the town: it spread next among the shipping which were anchored in front of these wharfs, where it Prevailed with great mortality among the sailors. In the infected part,, of the town a faint and sickly smell was per ceived ; and it haz; been, I believe, generally acknowledged and proved, that those who were attacked by the disease out of town or in Berbice, had previously visited Water-street and breathed the noxious exhalations. Immediate contact with the sick did not propagate the disease, nor did seclusion diminish it; and there is no instance known in which it ex tended to the more elevated places in the interior. (To be continued.) Standard Office, Three o'clock. We have obtained the following latest intelligence from China, through favour of Mr. Court, of the Un derwriters' Rooms, by the arrival of the ship Tapley in the Downs. Tongkoo Bay, sth Jan. 1840. Up to this date the shipping remain unmolested by the Chinese Government. But the Imperial Commissioner has issued an edict prohibiting the importation into Canton of all British manufactures or pi °duce after the 18th ult., un der the penalty of confiscation of both ship and cargo, whe ther in American bottoms or not; the shipping are, in conse quence, preparing to proceed to Manilla, to land their car goes there. Accounts have just been received from Manilla of the loss of the Marquis of Camden on the 11th nit., on a new reef in Mindore Sea, two days sail from Manilla. The captain, crew, and 250 chests of opium, were picked up, and taken to that port by the French ship L'Asie, who claims, it is reported, a third salvage. Hull sold for 1002 dollars, and cargo.for 4502 dollars, purchasers taking all risks. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tms DAY. Although the wind has been favourable for arrivals, the receipts of English and Irish produce have been altogether small; and 2005 quarters of Wheat, 949 quarters Indian Corn, and 3734 barrels of Flour from the American States, with 482 quarters of Wheat from Europe, comprehend the whole of the supplies into this port from abroad since Tuesday. The only alteration in the duties this week, is an advance upon Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat to 4s. 10d. per quarter. Upon Foreign Wheat and Flour duties are being gradually, but not freely, paid ; whilst of Barley and Indian Corn, the remnant lying here in bond has been nearly, if not wholly, entered for consumption. . . In any department of the corn trade, from the early part of the week until to-day, the proceedings have been of such trivial import as to preclude the necessity of any particular remarks. At the commencement of the market this morning, good fresh Wheats were mostly held at our last quotations, but having few buyers in attendance, and no extensive business being practicable, the trade exhibited a languid appearance, and, in partial instances, a decline of ld. to 2d. per 701bs. was conceded. Flour, duty paid, finds a moderate demand from consum ers on the terms last noted ; and in bonded samples, which continue at late prices, no sales of moment have been report ed to-day. Malting Barley is now offering for grinding, and 40s. per quarter may be deemed its utmost value ; Foreign, however, in consequence of the rise in duty, moves off rather freely, at the full rates of Tuesday. Malt, Beans, and Pease, remain steady.—Oats continued to meet a very limited inquiry, but from the small supply at hand prices remain unvaried. Oatmeal was somewhat more saleable to country dealers to-day, and, with a further demand for reshipment to Ire land, the current rates of Tuesday were maintained. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 2nd to the 4th June, 1840, inclusive. BAD NEWS FOR AMERICAN EMIGRANTS. The Preston Chronicle gives the following as an extract from a letter received a few days ago by a person in this town, from Pittsburgh, in North America. It gives a very gloomy account of the state of affairs in that district. The writer emigrated from Preston a short time ago, and does not ap pear to gratulate himself much on his change of country : " Pittsburg, April 16th, 1810. " DEAR SIR,—I take the present opportunity of writing some particulars respecting America. I have travelled in it something liketwo thousand miles, so I know a little about it. 1 know this, that any man that gets twenty shillings a week ought to stay in England. There are thousands here now working for about two shillings a-day, and there are great complaints of the times, which they say is owing to the hanks. In Pittsburg two-thirds of the works are stopped; and as to the cotton manufacture is not worth any man's while to work at it, as I have seen and talked with scores of spinners, carders, and weaving masters. At the place I worked at when I first came, there were seven spinners, two carders, and one weaving master, dressing castings, and striking for the blacksmiths, and there are several others that are come over, who have gone back quite disappointed.— You will say this is an unfavourable account; but I speak as I find. Where they pay four or five shillings a-day in store pay, you have to sell a ten dollar's order for six or seven dollars, as I have done when I wanted any money. lam now out of work, and have been for the last two months past, and am low enough at present I can assure you. I have been to Cincinnatti and Wheling the last places, and I am about to go to Buffola. My reason for writing you at the present is to prevent any of my acquaintances from getting fixed in the same way that I am. Your's, &c., THOMAS SUMNER. To Mr. Geldart Dobson, Spinner, Preston. RELIGION AND SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES. The following examples will serve to show the manner in which even religious persons treat their slaves in the United States : 1. A baptist minister in Laurens district, South Carolina, whipped a slave to death whom he suspected of having stolen 60 dollars. The slave was in the prime of life, and had been purchased a few weeks before for 800 dollars. A few days after the murder the minister's wife found the dollars in a place whither she herself had moved them, ant knowing it, as the money was wrapped in a thick envelope. The daughter of the murderer proved that her father after the flogging gave the slave water, of which he drank freely. The judge on the trial told the jury that if they thought drinking the water had caused the slave's death they would acquit the prisoner, and the jury brought in a verdict of " not guilty." 2. John M'Cue, a presbyterian minister, tied his slaves up and flogged them frequently on the Lord's day, and then went to the meeting-house and preached the gospel ; and on returning from his sacredotal duties he scourged them again. 3. Mrs. Pence, of Virginia, always flogged her slaves on Sunday mornings, because she said they could get well enough by Monday to resume their labour, and this woman was a communicant of a chapel. 4. Dr. Stoughton, of Philadelphia, said that he could tell the doings of one Baptist MiniSter by his prayers at the meeting-house. If he bad flogged none of his slaves on the Sunday his words were cold and heartless; if he had flogged a man he would pray with life, but if he had flogged a female slave, and determined on his return to flog her again, " oh ! how he would pray." 5. The Rev. Mr. Lewis married a woman who bad slaves. He intended to move into another part of the country which the slaves disliked, and one, attempting to run away, was shot by the rev. divine. 6. A planter said to another that all the religion of the slaves was hypocrisy. This was denied by another owner of some slaves, who said he had one who, lie thought, would die rather ian deny his religion. This led to a bet, and the slave in question was flogged to death, but would not deny his religion. 7. In another case a slave bad been sold to purchase the cups and plates for the communion. These cases, stated as briefly as possible. will suffice to show what state of religion is in the Southern States of America. fireTEE.

SECOND EDITION. MISCELLANEOVS. HOPS.—The flea has committed dreadful ravages on the bine in many grounds in the neighbourhood of Canterbury. Where its devastation► is not so extensive, the bine has grown to a height of several feet, and bears a generally healthy colour. The fly, which is more dreaded than the flea by the planter, has made its appearance within the last few days.— Kentish Gazette. A H APPY PAitisli.--We make the following extract from an address issued by the Rev s F. G. Paget, to his parish ioners, the inhabitants of Elford,. in this county. Would that every parish, every hamlet throughout the land, were in possession of such important advantages ! Mr. Paget ob serves, that " of the 500 persons living in this parish, there is not one, but may if he pleases, find a seat in our church, — not one but may give his children the benefit of a good education in our schools,—not one but may have advice or instruction from a minister residing on the spot. And there are very few houses in Elford which arc not within a very short distance of both the church, the schools, and the rectory."—Staffordskire Gazette. A SAVAGE RAT.—About a fortnight since a circumstance occurred at Nottingham, which serves to illustrate the savage nature of that animal—the rat—and the necessity that every housekeeper is under to clear his house of such vermin, if they infest it. A servant girl of Mr. Cullen, druggist, Cheapside, while lying in bed about two o'clock in the morning, was at tacked by a large rat, which seized her with all the force of its jaws just above the eyelid, swelling and tearing the flesh. It was with some difficulty that she could tear it off, and then not till she had received ►ome serious injuries. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE .4. There has been a fair inquiry for Cotton to-day, and the sales are 5000 bags, including 600 on speculation, and 400 for export : the market still very heavy. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 2. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) After a discussion in the House of Commons during three nights, on the motion of Mr. Villiers for " a consideration of the Corn Laws," a debision was evaded on Friday, the 3rd April, by an ad journment of the house ; and on a renewed debate thereon, on Tuesday, the 26th ultimo, this motion was negatived by a majority of 123, in a house of 477 members. The result having been pretty generally anticipated, the Corn trade has been very little affected thereby ; and if from the present very luxuriant appearance of the land, the nattering prospects for the crops be fully realised by a good and an early harvest, it may not prove of any very great im portance at prckent : but this motion, though now lost, probably for this season, is by no means set at rest; and it is to be feared that an equitable and moderate modification of the present Corn Laws, which would now have been pretty generally acceptable, and which might have proved durable, which has thus been refused to reason and justice, may at no very distant time be granted to a much greater extent, to clamour and agitation. We have again to notice a very trivial supply of Grain from Ire land and Coastways since Tuesday last, and to a moderate extent of Wheat, Flour, and Barley, from foreign . ports ; the two former articles chiefly going into bond, the latter duty paid for home use as it arrives. During the past week the weather has continued as favourable as possible ; and the millers and dealers have bought very cautiously for their immediate wants, but there has been a good demand for foreign Wheat for Ireland, and sales have thus been made to a fair extent at a decline of 2d to 3d per 701 b. Flour has also been sold at about 6d to Is per sack and per barrel lower, Oats have been sold Id to ad per 451 b, Oatmeal ed to Is per 2401 b, and Barley 2d to ad per 601 b lower; Indian Corn has been eagerly bought up for the Irish market at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter; Beans and Peas have fully maintained their last quotations. The only alteration in the duties on Grain, from foreign ports, since Friday last is a reduction of Is dd per quarter on Beans; no alteration on Wheat is anticipated next Friday ; several sales of Wheat, in bond, have been made at its value, if free, deducting the duty of 16s Bd. Some sales of very large parcels of Flour, in bond, have been effected at 25s to 25s 6d, and in small quantities at 26s per barrel; Oats, in bond, in very limited demand at 3s 8d to 3s yd per 451 b. At this day's market them e was a very full attendance, but the decline in Mark-lane had its usual influence here, purchases were made only for immediate wants and to a very small extent, of Wheat, Flour, Oats, Oatmeal, and Barley, at fully the decline above mentioned. Fine Malt, Beans, and Indian Corn, supported last quotations. Wn NAT, per 70Ibs s. English Scotch 9 Irish 5 Bonded BA RLEY, per qr.

Few' have ever gone to the grave with such a reputation as that W. adorned the life and will bless the Memory of this excellent t ss victual. We are not saying too much, when we assert that his will be deeply felt by all classes over whom he had control. ,s l whole life has been one un var yi ng scen e of active and uni''d benevolence. Blessed by Providence with an exalted mina a l O O generous heart, he well won and nobly supported the charac t F i t uer , philanthropist. The poor, in him, have lost a benefactor, a to q to and a friend, and his example was such as all would do we ,pd imitate.
