Vottrp. THE WIDOW'S CHARGE AT HER DAUGHTER'S BRIDAL MRS. E SIGOURNEY (From the Lady's Book.) Deal gently, thou whose hand has won The young bird from the nest away ierecarefess 'neath a venial sun, caroll'd day by day The haunt is lone—the heart must grieve-, From whence her timid wing doth soar, Then pensive list at hush of eve, Yet hear her gushing song no more ! Deal gently with her—thou art dear, Beyond what vestal lips have told ; And like a lamb, from fountains clear, She turns, confiding to thy fold. She, round thy sweet domestic bower, The wreaths of changeless love shall twine, Watch for thy step at vesper hour, And blend her holiest prayer with thine ! Deal gently, thou, when far away, 'Mid stranger scenes her foot shall rove, Nor let thy tender cares decay — The soul of woman lives in love ; And should'st thou, wandering, mark a tear Unconscious from her eye-lid break, Be pitiful, and soothe the fear That man's strong heart can ne'er partake! A mother yields her gem to thee, On thy true breast to sparkle rare She places 'neath thy household tree The idol of her fondest care ; And by thy trust to be forgiven, When judgment wakes in terror I%ild, By all the treasued hopes of heaven, Deal gently with the widow's child.

We are glad to perceive that this admirable periodical is likely to win its way into popular favour. Ireland has long wanted such a publication. The literary talent employed upon the Irish Penny Journal is of the highest order. Among its principal contributors we find George Petrie, Mrs, S. C. Hall, Martin Doyle, and a host of other worthies. The contents of the first part are rich and varied. The illustra tions are also excellent. The Citizen ; a Monthly Journal of Politic:, Literature, and Art. August, 1840. Dublin : J. P. Doyle. This is the first number which we have received of this periodical. It is conducted on liberal principles, but without that asperity of tone which characterises publications of the same class generally. It contains several articles of great merit. Among the more conspicuous of these we would enumerate " Sylla—a Tragedy," by Banim, the " Memoir of the late Gerald Griffin," and the " Chapters from the Autobiography of a late Militia Man." We do not agree with the opinions propounded in- the article on " Capital Punishment." Still less do we accord with the political dis quisitions which appear in the pages of the Citizen.

This part possesses an extraordinary degree of interest. It consists almost altogether of one succinct narrative. The encounter between Quilp and Dick Swivelter is highly laugh able. We only wish that Master Richard had " laid it on a little harder." The interview between Mr. Garland and Mr. Witherden is exquisitely rich. The perigrinations of Nell and her grandfather, and the strange specimens of low life to which they are introduced, cannot fail to interest the reader. It is scarcely necessary to add that the illustrations in Master. Humphrey's Clack are of the first-rate character. History of Napoleon. Part 18.

No one, who has any pretensions to literary taste, or who professes to be fond of the fine arts, should rest satisfied without possessing this truly splendid and unique edition of Shakspere. When suitably bound, it will prove an ornament to any library. Heads of the People, New Series. No. 8. London R. Tyas This new series of Heads of the People contains some pital portraits of the English of various classes. In the present number there is an amusing sketch of " The Coach man and the Guard," by Nimrod, and another of "The Policeman," by Paul Prendergast. The engravings are in the best style of Orrin Smith. We regret that we have only received one number of this serial. We feel assured, from a perusal of the part before us, that this work must become popular diate cause of an increase in the hours - of labour; but the tendency of the corn laws is to lessen competition throughout the whole range of labourers subjected to their operation. The corn laws give to. the British la bourer nearly a " monopoly" (to use the free-trade phrase) of the business of growing food for the popu lation of Britain. The corn laws, therefore, necessarily sustain the market value of the labour of all the classes engaged, directly or indirectly, in the cultivation of the British soil. When the free-traders rail at " monopoly," they never deny that "monopoly" may he a very good thing. They only allege that "monopoly" is a bad thing for all but those who enjoy it. In the case of the corn laws, however, if " monopoly" there be, it is a " monopoly" enjoyed by the whole body of the cul tivators of the British soil against the idle portion of the consumers of that soil's produce. The real causes of the misery which affect nearly all classes of our manufacturing labourers are to be looked for exclusively in our manufacturing system. That system is false and cruel in its innermost nature. It •is a system which has " cheap production" for its great end ; and under the influence of a system of " cheap production," the labourer himself must, in the nature of things, speedily become the " cheapest" of all mar ketable commodities. The corn laws, on the other hand, in so far as they act upon the nature of labour, are eminently protective. The " dearness" which the corn laws cause is " dearness" felt only by annuitants, and the moneyed classes. It is a "dearness" which nourishes and sustains all classes engaged in the busi ness of production. To Lord Ashley, we repeat, is the public deeply in debted for his labours now and on so many former occasions; nor may the praise be justly withheld from government of not having resisted Lord Ashley's im portant motion. •' TO THE FARMERS OF ENGLAND. " I addressed a letter to you, through various newspapers, early last spring, urging you to sow spring wheat in place of barley. The two months from the middle of February to the middle of May were the most favourable to vegetation, and to the sowing of spring grain, of any two months in the memory of man; the previous eight months, fioni the 18th of June, 1839, having been the most unpropitious to all agri cultural operations, particularly on poor clay soils ; and though for the last two months there has been occasionally heavy rains and a low temperature, yet the season is full two weeks earlier at this season than in the two last years ; and from the fine dry healthy weather that has now set in, and of which the continuance appears promising, there is every probability of harvest being concluded two, if not three, months earlier than last year in late situations ; and though the wheats are, in the north of England, on poor clay soils, thin of plant, yet the improvement of the appearance of the wheat crop in the last three weeks has been greater than I ever remember in the same time ; and though the wheat crop, after so unfavourable an autumn and winter, cannot, on poor clay soils in the north of England, be an average crop, yet the quality promises to make amends, and I confidently an ticipate the quality, in lve situations, will be 245. per quar ter better than last year's crop, and for the average of the kingdom may readily be Bs. per quarter better. The last year will have averaged near 68s. per quarter; and the next, I anticipate, will not exceed 645. per quarter, and be Bs. per quarter better in quality, making the price (quality consi dered) 20 per cent. lower than last year. I can confidently state that the deficiency in the north will be amply made up by the productive wheat crops in the midland districts, and eastern part of the kingdom. " I write from a personal inspection I made, to and from the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Cambridge ; while the unanimous report of the best-informed persons at the said meeting was, ' That the southern part of the king dom would be very productive of wheat this season.' " Under these circumstances, I cannot refrain urging all those who have English grain on hand to thrash out as speedily as possible, and bring it to market, so as to prevent the average prices realising 695. per quarter, and thus keep the duty at or under 16s. Bd. per quarter. " If this advice be universally followed, all the old grain may be got sold before the new wheat glut the market, when a fall of price on the inferior old wheat may be at least 12s. per quarter after harvest to what it is at present ; and as the crops in the north are later, in proportion to the south, than usual, I would recommend the south country farmers to thrash freely after harvest, and send a supply to the north, to mix with the old inferior wheats of last year, now on hand, and such supply cannot well be overdone till the northern crops are secured in stack; and even then the north country farmers Will not overstock the market during the autumn and winter, and by spring seed time it will be found, if are If It on a- - Gideon Filer Me Poi;fi.. part 4. London : Hay(ritd and Moore; paternoster-row This Is another odd number of a serial work. The appear ance on the title page of. tile name of Thomas Miller, author of " Royston Gower," &c., is, however, a sufficient guarantee for the intrinsic merits of the work. It appears to be a tale of rustic life, the incidents of which, if we may judge from an isolated number, are of a stirring character. The illustrations are equal to any in the most popular of the serial publications of the day. ENGLISH SLAVERY (From the Morning Herald.) Lord Ashley moved, last night, that "an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to direct an in quiry to be made into the employment of the children of the poorer classes in the various branches of trade and manufacture in which numbers of children work together, not being included in the provisions of the acts for regulating the employment of children and young persons engaged in factories, and to collect in formation as to the ages at which they are employed, the number of hours they are engaged in work, the time allowed each day for meals, and as to the actual state, condition, and treatment of such children, and as to the effects of such employment, both with regard to their morals and their bodily health." The speech of Lord Ashley was admirable. It abounded in statements of fact, of the highest impor tance ; and it was pervaded by a spirit of the most pro found wisdom. The treatment to which the children employed in all the great branches of our manufactures are subjected is a national disgrace. Their ease, their health, their comfort are utterly sacrificed ; and all these fearful evils are incurred, in order to carry on a system of manufactures, which, the more it is extended, the poorer does it render the country 1 In the course of the discussion Mr. Villiers and Mr. Hume, while they admitted the evils alluded to by Lord Ashley, took occasion to ascribe those evils to the operation of the corn laws. It might puzzle those gentlemen to account for the startling fact, that the slavery of factory children, and of other children of equally tender years, is far more severe in those coun tries where " bread is cheap" than even in Eng!and with her much-abused corn-laws. The truth is, that the tendency of the corn laws is to protect the labourer, and to enhance the value of his SULPHUR MINES Letters from Tripoli, of the Gth June, give some in teresting particulars of an attempt lately made by a French company to work the sulphur mines in the Gulf of Syrte. It seems that a French chemist, named Subtil, residing at Tripoli, having accidentally seen some specimens of sulphur of remarkable purity, which he ascertained to have been brought from the interior, determined to visit the place of its produc tion. After a search of forty days, traversing the de sert of Barca, and arriving quite at the bottom of the Gulf of Syrte, he found mountains of sulphur mine ral, and a lake, whose bottom and sides were sulphure ous earth. The mineral of the rock sulphur is ex tremely abundant, quite on the surface, and many ca mels were speedily loaded with the samples. The dis trict was nominally within the pachalic of Tripoli, but had, for some time, been absolutely ruled by Abdel, a Moorish chieftain of illustrious birth, who maintained an army of 40,000 or 50,000 men, and enjoyed a vir tual sway over a very extensive portion of this part of the African continent. From this chieftain M. Subtil obtained the exclusive right of working the mines in question for a certain number of years ; and, on the strength of the contract, he returned to France, and obtained the support of some of the first merchants at Marseilles to the prosecution of his plan. In May he landed in Africa, with a number of workmen, and am ply provided with the means of turning the mines to the best account. But in the interval the aspect of affairs had changed. The Moorish chieftain had been defeated by the troops of Tripoli, and the district had returned to its allegiance. The British government had protested against the contract with Abdel as a monopoly, and therefore a breach of their treaty with Turkey, and all the exertions of M. Subtil to obtain a confirmation of his contract were fruitless. He was, however, a man of too much spirit to abandon his en terprise without a struggle, and accordingly, having abandoned his monopoly, he is negotiating with the Turkish government for permission to work the mines, in the hope of realising a handsome remuneration for his outlay, before he could be disturbed by the compe tition of any other adventurers. The sulphur district lies between the ports of Tripoli and Bengazi. The rock ore has been found to give 35-40 per cent. of pure sulphur, and also 2-15 of sulphate of soda, and 5-10 per cent. of 'salt. The sulphureous earth gave 45-50 per cent. of pure sulphur, but was of a more difficult fusion. The expedition of M. Subtil promises to be a satisfactory one to him after all 'his disappoint ments, and it is extraordinary that so rich a field of commercial enterprise as Africa furnishes should have been neglected by British capitalists. European pro duce in the interior of Africa bears a profit of 700 per cent., and gold dust sells there for only one dollar the tuetecal, or 373 Eng. gns.,. and indeed all the interior produce is at a similarly low rate.—Montin y Chronicle. THE DISINTERESTED DOCTOR The following letter forms part of a correspondence which took place between Dr. Lardner and Mr. Karslake, of Regent-street, in reference to the late extraordinary affair. It strikes us as savouring less of the steam-engine than of the calculating machine : " 4, Regent-stre e t, April 6, 1840 "My Dear Sir,—l duly received youi letter of the 30th ult., and will now, in the first place, reply to your questions. With respect to the £20,000, I consider that, notwithstanding the step taken, and her consequently marrying you, she will be entitled to her life interest in this sum in the event of her surviving Captain H. As you have stated the question as to the £13,000, I consider that if Mrs. H. survived her father, mother, and Captain H., she would be entitled to this sum ; but that, if'her father and mother were to die in the lifetime of Captain H. and Mrs. H., without being divorced, then that Captain H. would be entitled. I think it most probable however, that this sum of £13,000 was settled on the mar riage of Captain H. and Mrs. H. ; and if so, the chances are that Captain H. has the first life estate, then Mrs. H. a life estate, and on the death of the survivor that the property will go to the children. In all cases of divorce, on the applica tion of the husband, parliament requires-the husband to make some provision for the wife, but what that provision may be depends altogether on the circumstances of each case, and the fortune of the husband, and there is no settled rule, and therefore it is generally a matter of treaty between the agents on both sides, and if they cannot agree, Mr. Gordon settles it. In order to look for precedents, the better to enable me to write to you on thi s po i nt , I t hi s morning sent down Mr. Gore to Parratt and Walmsley; Walmsley asked Gore if the matter had any refer ence to your case, as if so, he expected to be em ployed on the other side. I had told Mr. Gore that if any question was asked to say that I was concerned for you in this matter; and Mr. Gore then asked who was concerned for Mr. Walmsley said Mr. Beavan, of Sackville sC in H' ; t a re p e t t a .

The two pro ceedings may be concurrent. In the Lords and Commons a sentence of divorce in the Ecclesiastical Court, and the judg ment at law for damages must be proved, and the actual pay ment of the damages is sometimes required to be proved.

ASSAM TEA.--We hear from undoubted authority that the Hon. the East India Company have now. on the way t o England, per Andromeda from Calcutta. about 150 chests Assam tea, a portion of which consists of green. This is an entirely new article, never having been seen in this country. The quality of this parcel is spoken of as being of a very fine deucription, and sanguine hopes are entertained of the suc ces!s of the Assam tea speculation — London Journal of Cam stVite, r aces .t _a average at tiffs. per quarter during the autumn and winter, that there will be ample supply to serve till next harvest, without an advance of price beyond 645. per quarter. " The present alarm, I am confident, is unfounded, and has been got up to induce farmers to hold back their sup plies, that prices may advance, to let out the bonded wheat at a low duty, and thus unnecessarily inundate the country with foreign wheat when it is not needed. I write in perfect confidence that my anticipations will prove correct, for my attention to the subject has been unremitting for more than fifty years, and for nearly fifty years I never once was disap pointed in the expectations I formed of the crops at this season of the year. On yourselves, therefore, farmers, de pend your future prospects. You have it yet in your power to prevent wheat reaching 695. per qr. for six weeks together. And when the importers of wheat and that under lock, see that you are alive to your own interest, they will then see that it is their interest to pay the duty of 16s. Bd. per qr., as the duty will rise, while the prices go down to 645. per qr. And thus the country will ‘he supplied through your instru mentality with bread at a reasonable price, and you will prove yourselves to be, as you have ever been, the real friends of the consumers of grain, and that high prices have ever been owing to the combination of the importers, in not bringing their grain upon the market when most needed. " A check now given to importation is your best safeguard for the future ; and when a kind Providence again sends favourable seasons, your home supply, under improving cul tivation, will render a foreign supply unnecessary, even were the population of the United Kingdom double what it now is ; for there are no bounds to the improvement of the soil under a judicious protection by law from a foreign supply, which is always precarious, and has been ruinous to every importing country in the world. " With my best wishes for the prosperity of agriculture, " I am, Farmers of England, your true friend, " THOMAS BATES " Kirkleavington, near Yarni, Yorkshire, July 28." PORT OF CARDIFF-BUTE SHIP-CANAL DOCK OR BASIN (From a Correspondent of the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.) The above undertaking being now completed and open for all purposes of trade and navigation, it may not be unin teresting to the mercantile and shipping interests to be fur nished with some information on the subject of these docks, and the advantages thus afforded to ships frequenting ,the port, by the final perfecting of one of the most extensive works—indeed 1 believe the most so, with the exception of the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal—ever begun and brought to a prosperous termination by any one individual ; nor are there many national works of greater extent. The present has been constructed by the Marquis of Bute, at his sole cost, at an outlay of £250,000. It was commenced in the year 1834, the site having been chosen under the advice of those men most eminent in their day, Telford and Green, and the situation of the docks was adopted with a view to forming the safest and most direct communication with the sea; the design and execution were entrusted to Mr. Cubitt, whose high reputation must be still enhanced by this monument of his skill. The work comprises a ship canal, 4,000 feet in length, and 200 feet in breadth, with massive quay walls on either side, coped with chiseled blocks of granite. There are wooden fenders running the whole extent of the quay, parallel with the water's edge, so that vessels cannot receive injury by striking against the walls. The canal, to the extent of 1,500 feet, is eighteen feet deep ; for 1,200 feet, is thirteen feet deep ; and the remaining distance shallows to eight and a half feet. The exit from this canal is through a lock 152 feet long by thirty-six feet wide (through which a vessel of 1200 tons burthen, laden with timber, was passed on the day the docks were opened) into a tide basin, capaple of receiving 3,000 tons of shipping; for example, fifteen vessels of 200 tons each, where they are always afloat, shut in by a tide gate 45 feet wide, which is opened at three and a half hours' flood, when the tide outside rises to the height of the water within ; and vessels pass out into the sea through a channel 150 feet wide, and half a mile in length, lyirg from north to south; so that the prevailing winds admit of ships hoisting their canvas in the basin, and sailing direct to the sea, and in like manner coming in, they sail straightinto the basin without casting anchor or unfurling sails. The channel is marked by buoys on either side, by which vessels can warp in or out, and before high water and whilst navigable for vessels of any burthen, it is protected by the banks formed by the excava tion, so that in boisterous weather vessels have only to enter at half tide to be quite sheltered and sail up through still water. If needed, there are steam-tugs always in attendanCe for towing in or out at a moderate charge. The grand fea ture in these docks is, that they are always accessible, and to vessels of any burthen, the tide always rising at the basin to height of from eighteen to thirty-five feet, excepting six or eight days in the year at the lowest neaps, when they may not attain above sixteen feet. Another most important feature is, that ships need never take the ground, for the tide gate, at three-and-a-half hours' flood, is opened, and continues so for five hours, during which vessels sail right in or out of the tide basin direct to sea. At two-and-a-half hours' ebb the gates are closed, the water in the basin is raised to the level of the ship canal, the dock gates are opened, and the whole fleet passed in or out without locking ; this might be done twice every tide, thus enabling the transit of 12,000 tons of shipping every twenty-four hours—an extent of traffic beyond any thing that can ever be contemplated. In the completion of this magnificent work, the, anxious desires of all classes con nected with the trade and port have been more than realised; and that some such improvements have been for a long time required, to meet the growing exigencies of this most flourishing and largely increasing port, will be evident from a review of the increase in the trade within the last few years, and the inefficiency of the Glamorgan Canal to afford the re quisite accommodation. We will recur to a period of four teen years, and subsequent intervals, up to the present time, and show the increase. 18261 No of vessels en ' Reg. tonnage iTotal No tering the port I Coastwise. lirish ..... 778 61,469 220 - 16,949 Foreign.. . lll 11;592 1109 Coastwise 935 65,148 Irish 499 42,800 Foreign l6B 17,468 1602 Total tonnage 90,010 tons 125,416 tons Coastwise 1925 126,573 Irish 661 57,894 Foreign 236 28,211 2822 212,678 tons Coastwise 1982 106,080 Irish 709 62,516 Foreign 236 28,991 2927 197,587 tons .e appears a falling off in the trade of 183' no apprehension of its retrogading, the di 9, but that ex izninution hay- ing been caused by circumstances not again likely to operate to such an extent—namely, the Chartist outbreak on the hills and the desertion of the collieries by the workmen for a long continuance. We see that the trade has considerably more than doubled in the last 14 years, end will no doubt continue to increase to au immense extent. The new docks and the Taff Vale Railway, connecting them with the mineral districts and Merthyr, the seat of the iron manufacture, has already induced the commencement of large collieries, and great ad ditions to the iron works. It is only surprising how the pre sent amount of trade has been carried on, in any way, in so inefficient port as the old canal, the entrance lock to which is only 97 feet long by 27 feet wide, and 13 feet deep over the inner sill—dimensions that preclude most vessels exceed ing 300 tons burthen from entering at all, and those that do enter can none of them load deeper than 12 3 / 4 feet; the larger class have therefore to finish their lading outside the dock gates. Nor can vessels of the ordinary class take but a small portion of their cargoes at any wharf, there being only two, and those private wharfs, abreast which there is twelve feet of water. The canal above these is 10 feet, gradually shal lowing to 5 feet at the upper end ; so that from all wharfs, excepting the two nearest the dock, vessels have to lighten the greater part of their cargoes at ship's expense such being the custom of the port. The expense is taking the average of the vessels, and the average cost of lighterage, gast r t e: slope their i xerpprewye i n n itniosoa t el h arern e i no awcuhcargo.ticanalscarcely aap a rna n Tegr d ehtl lei eyc l auc s atla . datnmrh o a i nadt on avgt e loi n t gl v h e e ns osegl su gates,ao quay iv‘g6t\ wall,iecpc h h e t a h r a ins ne t ton i v e d al e. o n- r w pe n k a he o cc v er e oi s v s we e dl their hn t eg rt p i ci a ea s r s l go . ov le, e l s r ' , r o ebn m r do utoghfhi thecanal c a a ft u e s r e tha forenmd di t n h ep e lti n igi umber of ships tinw'olnloaakdi mak i ng h o t f e w rs a , t s e u r e t h o o r b e their t i fi n n g t o l c r bertha mplernp ea n i s n st d d , e deep though,dw a a t ter, perhaps, rt w il where lea t t d h e en e n y within ten or twenty tons.

When it is likewise considered that nearly all the t ra d e i s . carried on in vessels of above one hundred tons, it will be obvious to what an extent these detentions by the tides may occur, as there are about 58 days in the year during which the tides do not rise at the canal gates to a height sufficient for the admission of vessels of one hundred tons' burthen ; so that for nearly one-sixth of the year there can be no tran sit through the locks for vessels of this size, and for those of a larger class the detentions are greater in an increased ratio above the level of the Butegates •, thus, when, as is the ca se with their burthen. The sill of the c anal g ates is ten feet attain above six feet, there are 16 feet at the latter. It is some, days in the year, that the tides at the former do not scarcely necessary to say more canals ; though among the evils of in comparison of the two the old one may be men. tioned the intricate approach through a long winding gut, requiring an entire tide to accomplish, and the channel so THE CORN LAWS, &c We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the follow ing admirable communication on the subject of certain recent tricks in Mark-lane : narrow that pilots cannot always avoid running on the banks, which, occurring at high tides, vessels sometimes get be neaped high and dry for seven or eight days. On arrival at the gates vessels have to wait for tide or for their turn to be locked in, grounding evory tide, jammed up betwixt a multi tude of vessels in a very confined spot, there is no security, and always apprehension ; for it has occurred that vessels have taken the bank in grounding, and fallen over on beam ends, straining the ship and damaging cargo, and occasion ally, it has been necessary to dischare all, and rePair. These accidents have caused . vessels sharply built, or coppered ves sels not liking to take the ground, to remain in Penarth roads, to load, as is necessary with vessels of large burthen,. and this at an expense of 2s. 6d. per ton for li g hterage on ballast and cargo. This will now be avoided, as the largest class ships can load in the Bute Docks with as much conve nience and facility as at any port in the kingdom, • and at a considerable saving of time and expense. Having shown the facilities afforded to ships by the new harbour, I proceed to show, by a comparative statement, the cost of receiving car goes from thence and from Glamorgan Canal, exemp it in the several classes of vessels on which different are chargeable at the former. in i _ I , PI 7 Fi 01 ::,`.

The iron and coal merchsnts have .not . yet removed . their wharfs (though I learn they are. about . doing so), therefore, the ves sels that have hitherto loaded in. the Bute canal have borne the expense of lightering their iron from the Glamorgan canal at a cost of 9d. perton, and have also paid the wharfage charge on iron—namely. .6d. per, ton .on. vessels under 100 tons register, under 250 tons 9d., 250 tons and upwards ls. per ton. The necessity for the former expense will be abo lished when the wharfs are removed; and the latter will be, for arrangement, between , the ship and shippers either to be refunded the vessel, or be paid a proportionate addition in freight. By reference to the above comparative statement, it is quite evident that with the addition of both these items to the Bute dock tariff on either cla ss o f c h arges, an i mmense saving would still be effected by ships loading in the Bute canal.

STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER. — The delightful and happy change in the weather appeared to produce considerable effect upon the market yesterday ; the demand both for goods and yarn was decidedly better than for several weeks past, and though it could scarcely be said that there was any general advance upon what would be called the full market price of last Tues day, there was . a cessation of that sacrificing on the part of the sellers which had been going on for several weeks pre viously ; and In some few articles, particularly in low num bers of yarn, and in 27-inch printing cloth (which was pre viously much depressed) a trifling improvement took place. ROCHDALE, FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 3. To-day has been the most discouraging market we have had for some weeks back : scarcely any business has been tran sacted at any price. Last Monday there was some inquiry after fine goods ; but to-day all is gloomy, and there are four of the small manufacturers, who have, during the week, sill pended payment ; and have, or are about, to sign over their effects for the benefit of their creditors. There is no change in the wool market. _ HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The business-like appearance of this market to-day, together with the splendid weather, produced a most cheering effect • and the sales effected were considerable in nearly all sorts o f goods. Prices, too, were a little improved, and the demand for wools bus caused some sorts to look up. All now depends upon the harvest, and as theprospect is good, a fair autumn trade is anticipated. Bus iness in the warehouses is brisker, anfl considerable orders for vinter goods are in hand. MILITARY ANECDOTES SIR SYDNEY SMITH.—At the battle of Alexandria, an aid-de-camp of General Craddock, in carrying his orders, had his horse killed under him, and begged permission of Sir Sydney to mount a horse belonging to his orderly dra goon. As Sir Sydney was turning round to give the order to dismount, a cannon shot took off the poor fellow's head. " This," said the Admiral, " settles the question ; Major, the horse is at your service." SIR RALPH ABERCROMBIE AND SIR SYDNEY SMITH.— Sir Ralph found himself alone and surrounded by French Dragoons ; one of them charged and overthrew the veteran commander. In an attempt to cut him down, the old man, nerved with a momentary strength, seized upon the uplifted sword and wrested it from his assailant, while a Highland soldier transfixed the dragoon with his bayonet. The first officer who came up was Sir Sydney Smith, who, having broken the blade of his own sabre, received from Sir Ralph the weapon of which be had despoiled the French Hussar. In this skirmish Sir Ralph his mortal wound. What has become of this sword, now Sir Sydney is dead ? It ought to be inquired after and deposited as a relic. FEMALE HERoISM.—At the siege of Malajorda the fire of forty-eight guns and mortars was concentrated on this little fort. The troops fell fast. During this tremendous fire, a drum boy was• ordered to fetch water from the well. The child hesitated ; a serjeant's wife, called Ritson, instantly caught up the bucket, crossed the line of fire, and, though the cord which held the vessel was cut by a shot, she filled and brought it safely back to the wounded men who were lying in the casemate. A BOY HERO.—At . the seige of Acre, Sir Sydney Smith was attended by a young middy of the name of Bourne, a boy about eleven or twelve years old. The enemy were throwing stones of a very large size from cannon of an enor mous calibre, with which they did great execution among the assailants. One of these stones fell so close to young Bourne, that Sir Sydney turned round in full expectation of seeing him a corpse. The boy, however, stood unhurt and undaunted close to where the stone had fallen and broken into a thousand pieces with its force and weight.' " A nar row escape, Bourne," said Sir Sydney. " Yes, Admiral," said the youngster, "but a miss is good as a mile." Sir Sydney was so struck by the coolness of the boy, that he de sired him to take up a piece of the stone, and when he wanted anything to come to him with it. Some few years afterwards, employed, young Bourne, now when Sir Sydney was again some 16 years of age, took the stone to Sir Sydney, at the Admiralty, who immediately took him on board his own ship —and within a few months he was almost shot to pieces in cutting a vessel out of an enemy's harbour. - THE PRAYER Boos;.—In a campaign it is usual to dispose of the effects of any other officer who is killed, by auction. After the battle of Salamanca, among other articles, a prayer book was put up, on which the auctioneer said—" He who buys this lot must be a brave man, for it is the fourth time I have put it up to sale within the !list month." THE WHALE FisilEny.—The Greenland whale fishery, we regret to say, has turned out almost a total failure this season. The Dundee Chronicle of yesterday week says— " We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter, dated from Aberdeen, on Tuesday, of which the following is an extract Just on leaVing Peterhead this morning, the Jo seph Green, from Greenland, arrived with three or four fish. He landed the master of the Perseverance, of Peterhead, and with whom I had a moment's conversation, as the mail was just about starting. He lost his ship (crew saved) on the 3d May, and reports the fishing a total failure. Skis mostly all clean. Friendship, of your port, in the number.' " The Dundee Courier of Tuesday week further states—" Ott Tuesday last the following vessels arrived at Peterhead : Joseph Green, 4 fish an d 2770 seals ; Ranger, 1500 seals • Resolution, 2 fish and 6 seals ; Union, 2100 seals ; 1 fish, 1990 seal s .

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coatsways, and from Foreign ports have again been only to a very trivial extent ; and, during the past week, the weather has been more genial and favourable for securing the crops of Hay, and for the prcgress of those Grain towards maturity ; we have, in consequence, experienced a continuance of languor in the demand, and although the recent importers and holders have not been very eager sellers, purchases have been made to a small extent of almost every article in the Coin trade, excepting Barley for grinding, at a decline equal to about Is per garter, and of about 6d to 1a per sack and per barrel on Flour and Oatmeal, and this remark is applicable to the market at Manchester, and to all those around of the past week. The duty on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat was increased on Friday is dd per quarter, and there is no alteration in that of any other Grain ; but it is now quite certain that on Friday next the duty on Wheat will be reduced to 13s Sd per quarter, and on Flour to Ss sid per barrel; and it is confidently anticipated that on Friday the 14th inst. the duty will be further reduced to los Sd per quarter, and ds 5d per barrel; there has in consequence been a fair demand for both articles in bond, and several parcels, here and on the passage, have recently changed hands at fully our last quotations. At this day's market, there was but a very thin attendance of millers and dealers, who bought very sparingly and timidly only for immediate wants, and though a decline fully equal to that above stated was submitted to on every article in the Corn trade, the transactions were of a very small extent ; the weather continues as fine as possible for the crops.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST• 6 There has been a good demand for Cotton today;• the sales are 7000 bags, including 1500 on speculation, and 500 for export : the market firm. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AUGUST 6 There is an extraordinary degree of apathy existing in the dry Butter trade, and prices may be considered entirely nominal. The finest descriptions we cannot note higher than Os to 945. Pickled Butter being but in limited supply, and much anxiety evinced on the part of purchasers to ship in certain fast sailing vessels on the eve of departure for the Brazils,—the rates are en hanced fully 2s per cwt. • respectable brands commanding pis to 925. Beef continues to rule extravagantly high. Pork is moderate in comparison, and by many, is expected to advance. Bacon goes off with much freedom at 52s to 53s for the finest quality.
