M. HANSBROW WOTHER'S GRAVE (For the Liverpool Standard.) Is there one spot, in Nature's wide domain, To which my soul with ceaseless love would cling ; Which could, with sweet omnipotence, enchain Those thoughts that else would ply their restless wing ? Oh, 'tis my mother's grave, which, mournful, now I sing Yes ! 'twas the magnet of my childish days ; For oft, with pow'r resistless, it would draw )usand walls, My youthful r To linger, witl Her last, lone re nd bow'd to Nature's la. Thoughts of t soul would steal, . . And carry me to moments flown away ; When, at her side, so proudly I would kneel, Catch from her eye affection's softest ray, And watch those parent-smiles that on her face would play. Thus ponder'd I, as sadly I would gaze On the green sod which rose above her head ; When I recall'd the joys of other days, I wept the tears of anguish o'er the dead. Whom now I lov'd the most, when she, alas! was tied. Yet, how I prized the spot from whence arose These madd'ning thoughts, that tore my breast with pain! It was the sacred place of her repose, And by her side her child could still remain : There I could wish her back, though doomed to wish in vain. The love that drew my tender childhood there— Beside that grave that made me fondly stay— That whisper'd stories of a mother's care, The care that wiped my infant tears away— That love within my breast maintains its potent sway. No place so fair to me—no place so dear, Though gaily decked with beauty's charms it be— Though Nature in her lovel'est form appear, Tinged with the brightest colours earth can see— My mother's lowly grave is dearer far to me. When Death shall bear my ling'ring breath away, Obed'ent to His will whose mercy gave ; When Nature's fabric yields to sure decay, And slowly sinks beneath life's stormy wave, Oh, may my dust repose within my Mother's Grave ! Liverpool, Nov. sth, 180. J. M. L. CONTEMPORARY PRESS THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, (From the Lancaster Gazette.) What will 'the ministerial people say now ? Their last hope in England—the municipal reform claptrap— is taken from them. Never was anything more deci sive than the result of the struggle on Monday last. A glance at the return will show that iu every direc- tion the good cause has triumphed. Amongst other boroughs which on this occasion have vindicated their loyalty and sound constitutional principles, the good old town in which we live has not been the last. In Lancaster we have gained four seats out of six, and on a division at the council board we shall be found to stand pretty near equal. When we call to mind how exclusively radical was the constitution of the council at the first, and for some time after, and reflect upon the almost hopeless state of things at that period, we cannot but feel truly gratified with our present posi tion. There is, however, nothing in it to astonish anybody. The evil was sure to find its own remedy in time. But mind, when we do say that, we must not b_: supposed to subscribe to the doctrine that, therefore, the conservative party had nothing to do but fold their arms and look on. Quite the contrary. In conservative exertion alone can the remedy be found. True enough that general disgust must, in the order of things, spring out of such exhibitions as " municipal reform" has given rise to in this and other boroughs, but conservative influence is the instrument through which the popular indignation is to icnake itself felt as well as known. It was nonsense, mischievous non sence, for conservatives to turn up their noses and talk of the thing as beneath their notice, and as a nuisance which, left alone, would cure itself. If, for instance, in this town the system had been left to work its own way, the entire council board would in time have been occupied by the sort of persons whom all friends to order and the respectability of the town desire to see kept out of it. That was only to be prevented by the interferance of the conservative party. The respecta ble portion of the radical party—the men who aspire to the genteel, and sigh to escape the queer company into which their unfortunate destiny has cast them— these few persons have no power of themselves to keep out the oanaille , and in that case the duty of the con servatives is obvious.: It is for them to come forth in the strength of their commanding influence and save the town from the disgrace that impends. They have done, on this occasion, and by their exertions the evil is to a great extent corrected. ---.4gw._- WHIG CORPORATION REFORM. (From the Times.) Of all the practical blunders ever committed by the Melbourne ministry, probably that which has been the most fatal to their own interests was the bill for reform ing the English corporations. We do not mean to discuss its intrinsic merits, irrespective of its bearing on party politic s . It i s no t th us th a t th e Whigs look at such questions. The corporation reform bill was brought forward by them, just after their repossession of power, in 1835, declaredly as a scheme for regaining some of their lost popularity, and at the same time for increasing their " borough interest." It was no sooner passed and brought into operation, than the treasury journals openly boasted that it would gain them 40 votes at the very next election. That election, when it came, speedily dissipated these hopes ; but it is only now. after the lapse of five years, that we are beginning thoroughly to understand th e extent o f f o ll y exhibited by the Whigs in bringing forward that measure, as a political manoeuvre, intended to strengthen their own interest. The elections for the present year have just taken place, and never was there a more total rout than that which has been the lot of the whigs and whig-radicals in every part of the kingdom. Whether we value the corporations themselves at much or little, no one can doubt the importance of such an annual encounter of parties as this, even were it merely to afford to states men of every class an opportunity of judging of the state and progress of public opinion. Even within these few days have the ministerial journals ventured to coun terfeit a degree of the most blissful ignorance as to the odour in which their masters were held by the people generally. But after the transactions of this week, to assume the existence of the least doubt upon the sub ject will exhibit an amount of effrontery which we are hardly warranted in anticipating, even among the lackies of Downing -street itself. These municipal elections, be it remembered, are be yond all questions the most popular appeals that are ever made to any English constituency. They are not confined to the ilo householders, like the parliamentary elections, nor yet to the freemen of the boroughs —still less to £5O tenants or freeholders, as in the counties. They rest upon household suffrage—the very point which some of our ultra-reformers are now proposing as an improvement on the franchise conferred by the Reform Bill. And what has been the response just given by this large and unexclusive body of electors in a series of contesls which, in every part of the island, as the ministerial journals themselves confess, have con stantly resolved themselves into a choice between " tones " or conservatives, and " liberals," alias mini sterialists or whig-radicals ? The answer is of this kind :—ln Manchester and Bir mingham the conservatives contest the validity of the charters, and consequently refuse to interfere in the elections. But with these two exceptions, and perhaps one or two others in which the conservatives have made no exertions, every town in England of the first class, and almost every one of the second and third classes, has given a verdict of reprobation of the ministerial ad herents. Even a moment's recollection, without look ing to the reports, recalls to mind Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, York, Exeter, Oxford, Cambridge, Ipswich, Bath, Macclesfield, Stockport, Wigan, Colchester, Maidstone, Hertford, Bury, Boston, Bedford, Preston, Bridgewater, Windsor, Totnes, Walsall, Shrewsbury, Southampton, Weymouth, Warwick, besides a variety of smaller ones. Constantly, as we have already said, the respective candidates have been opposed to each other on political grounds, as " liberal,' or " conser tive," and it is abundantly clear that the victory re• mains, in a great majority of eases, with the latter. But we have said that the institution of these annual contests, be they wholesome or unwholesome, was a most unwise step on the part of the whigs, with respect to their bearing on the interests of that party, and yet we all know, that if it had not been for the hope that it would serve those interests, we should never have seen a line of the Municipal Reform Bill. The error appears to have been of the following kind : It organised, and drew up, and banded together, in hostile, aiay, the two great parties, " liberal " and • - A Liverpool correspondent reminds us that the anticipa tions we expressed in the early part of the year, that the then current session of the parliament would not elapse without the duties on timber imported from Sierra Leone and the British settlements at Honduras being equalised, has not been fulfilled. While we regret we cannot contradict our correspondent, we must express an opinion that some pro gress towards an assimilation has been made. The facts stated in the memorials from the shipwrights and timber merchants of Liverpool, Bristol, and the Clyde, presented in July last to the Board of Trade, urging the necessity of such a measure, have rendered it imperative on Mr. Labou chere to take up the subject early in the ensuing session. For ourselves, we are utterly at a loss to discover on what principle a continuance of the differential duties on Sierra Leone Teakwood and Honduras Mahogany can be justified— why the good and essentially useful timber of our American should be longer subjected to nearly 300 per cent. duty over that of the inferior wood of our African settlement. It is surely both just and expedient that the woods of two pro vinces standing in the like relation to Great Britain, should be admitted to consumption through the assimilated scale of duty. If, indeed, any differential duty ought to be tolerated, Honduras has better claims to the advantage than Sierra Leone. By far the greater proportion of the Teak exported from the latter is not procured in the colony, though cleared at its Customhouse ; and every ten logs, it has been calcu lated, imported into this country from that charnel-house costs one seaman's life. The Mahogany exported from Belize is, if not actually grown in a British settlement, (for of late years the exportation of mahogany has been extended to that cut on the whole extent of the Mosquito shore ; and, we believe, the liberty of clearing at the various ports, as far as Touxills, has also been granted) is cut by the British en terprise, and paid for with British capital and merchandize. Besides, Honduras is comparatively a salubrious climate, stands in such an admirable position that, as regards British commerce, it may be termed the toll-gate of Central Ame rica, and presents an inexhaustible supply of wood. The one province, after being bolstered up for thirty years, at the expense of £1,670,000, is for all useful purposes a complete failure ; on the other province, neglected and despised by government, we are dependent for the supply of an indispen sable article. _ _ - . The introduction of Teak into certain parts of ships, which were to be classified as entitled to remain on the first letter for twelve years, was, until lately, indispensable. The uncertainty of the supply of Teak—(in July last there was not a single log in the hands of the Liverpool importers)— frequently rendered the shipwrights unable to complete the vessels in progress of construction. Experiments, however, having proved that the heaviness of Teak and the lightness of Cedar were objections to which Mahogany is not liable ; that it expanded less from saturation, and shrank less from heat than any other wood, and that it was naturally com pletely exempt from dry rot, by a late regulation of Lloyd's Mahogany has been admitted to the classification as the best description of Teak, and in consequence has been extensively used by many shipwrights. The high rate of duty has, however, operated to its prejudice, and limited its consump tion for naval purposes. A reduction of per ton on Hon duras Mahogany is therefore sought as an object of vital importance to our commercial navy. This reduction would nearly assimilate the duty to that on African Teak, and bring it to the same scale as that on Cuba and Mobile Cedar, both of which foreign woods are subject to only 10s. per ton duty. In our opinion, the reduction sought is too moderate ; why should not colonial and foreign timber used in ship-building be admitted on the same terms as that for church-building— free of all duty ; or, at all events, why should not ships be built of materials in bond ? France not only admits foreign timber duty free, for ship-building purposes, but has, by a late enactment—objectionable and absurd, doubtless, but indicative of the encouragement given to its marine—has imposed an export duty of tenpence per foot on native tim ber, which is equivalent to a prohibition. The manufacturing as well as the shipping interest ate in terested in the reduction of the duty on Honduras Mahogany, as that wood is indispensable for making those large and valuable machines to which we owe so much of our manu facturing pre-eminence' But, in fact, the whole scale of duties on Mahogany re quires immediate revision and reduction. There are three duties on Mahogany ; upon Mahogany from Honduras, 30s ; from other British possessions, £4 ; and from foreign coun tries, f.,5 per ton. The effect of these duties has been totally to destroy a large portion of the business of the cabinet maker of this country—the export of furniture. Formerly, Great Britain had a most extensive import of furniture to its colonies, South America and India; now it has a considera ble import, and many of our modern houses are adorned with Hamburgh furniture, for the sale of which there are large establishments in Birmingham. Now, for this revul sion we have not the poor and ordinary excuses of protection to our colonies, or increase to our revenue, because the qua lities of Honduras, Jamaica, Cuba, and St. Domingo Maho gany are so different and distinct, that they can scarcely be said to interfere with each other; the Mahogany of the British possessions cannot for an instant be compared with that of Cuba or St. Domingo. The high duties on foreign does not increase the consumption of our colonial Mahogany, for from it the better description of furniture cannot be made, and the duty defeats its purpose, as regards revenue, by limiting the consumption of the article on which it is levied. The total loss of our export furniture trade, and the injury inflicted on our home trade, are solely caused by the duties on foreign Mahogany. Cuba and St. Domingo Maho gany is imported into Hamburgh comparatively untaxed, is there manufactured, and is actually admitted into this country in the shape of foreign furniture, on payment of duty less in proportion than the English cabinet-maker has to pay for the log or curl in its uncut state! Formerly it was the practice to carry Mahogany from Cuba and St. Domingo to one of our colonies, and land it there and bring it to England in the same way as Coffee is brought through the Cape of Good Hope from foreign countries, and Spice from the Moluccas through Penang ; this the late President of the Board of Trade, Lord Sydenham, effectually pre vented. It is, we trust, the intention of the present Presi dent to remedy all the evils of this subject. This he may the more readily do, as the revenue to be affected by any change is altogether unworthy of consideration in comparison to the manifest advantages. _ Without entering into the general question of the Timber duties, we may here call public attention to the injurious effect of the working of the present Customs scale of duty in another particular. The duty for the fir log is 55s per load ; now the duty on planks admits a load of fir timber in that form at two-thirds the rate required on the log. " Thus," writes the intelligent correspondent who has drawn our attention to the absurdity, " the Prussian merchant, by merely running three cuts up his long logs. has actually remitted to him in duty a bonus of 50 per cent. for shipping his manufactured, instead of what may be termed his raw material, facilitating thereby its transport (and that, too, always in his own ship), making it, without fin they labour, at once suitable for the British joiner to use. While the principle for the regulation of the duties on tim ber—when not cut into plank, bct imported in the form of log—is decidedly protective as regards colonial, and prohi bitory in regard of Baltic, still we have been good customers to the Prussian for his manufactured wood; and now on the Liverpool quay the anomaly may be witnessed of the house builder having to pay for the load of Dantsic middling square timber £5 12s 6d, against £4 15s 3d per load for the first quality of well manufactured plank, adapted through the foreign mill, free from all defect and refuse. Three or four mills in Manchester and Liverpool suffice for what remains to be manufactured on all the foreign woods imported and consumed in this quarter, because of the premium granted to the importer of the already made planks abroad." Admirals Stopford, Bandeira, and Walker, were at Bey rout on the 12th instant, with five British and one Turkish ship of the line, and an Austrian frigate. All the north of Mount Lebanon, with the exception of Tripoli, is in the power of the allies and the mountaineers. The Emir Bechir, who had been for some time in communi cation with the allies, concluded a convention on the sth ult. with the Seraskier Isset Pasha and Admiral Stopford. The Prince of the Druses required that his life and property should be secured to him, and in return he engaged to serve his mas ter the sultan with fidelity. On the Bth ult, he sent his two sons as hostages, until he could arrive himself, from which he was then prevented by the presence of Ibrahim Pasha. On the 11th instant, the Emir Bechir arrived at Sidon, and on the information being given to Admiral Stopford, he, on the 12th, sent two steamers to receive him, in which he embarked, and thus has finally carried his promise into execution. The Emir el Kasim has been named successor to the Emig Bechir, and was, with a large body of mountaineers, in pur suit of Ibrahim Pasha, who has little or no chance of escape. The camp at Djuni Bay is broken up. The only vessels now remaining there are Vice-Admiral Walker's and the two Turkish frigates, one of which, with 800 prisoners on board, is to be sent immediately to Constantinople. Commodore Napier, in the Powerful, with the steamers Gorgon and Cyclops, have quitted Djuni Bay to attack Tripoli. Reports of deserters from the fortress of Acre announce the impossibility of its being able to hold out, in consequence of the continual desertions, and of its present enfeebled state, Captain Berkeley, of the Thunderer, commands at Sidon, which is so well fortified as to defy the attacks of 15,000 men. The Archduke Frederick is also there. The Turkish troops have given proofs of their courage. The Tahiri Bahiri, Ottoman government steamer, having on beard the standard of Ibrahim Pasha, taken in the action with him on the 10th, Colonel Hodges (who took part in that affair), and 120 Egyptian officers, arrived at Constantinople on the 18th instant. A letter from that city, of that date, says :—" The porte, however, goes on sending away for Syria troops as fast as possible. 5,000 more have already gone, and at this instant three squadrons of dismounted cavalry and a regiment of infantry are ready to embark in sailing ves sels the moment the wind, which is contrary, comes round." The Malta Times (Supplement) of Oct. 27, states, 'that "the Great Liverpool, steamer, arrived at Alexandria on the 18th instant. Her despatches and letters were taken into port by a French corvette, and she remained outside. There appears a hope that she willbring the India mail, but, in that case, it will most probably be the last. The Fulton proceeds to-day to Toulon." FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY The works of the fortifications of Paris are going on very slowly, according to the Commerce, which observes : " There are not now employed upon them more than 1,200 or 1,500 men, civil and military." Extract of a letter from St. Helena, dated Sept. 19 : " An American barque, Jane, lying in these roads, was taken possession of by H. M. sloop Dolphin, and sent away (not known where). The captain and supercargo were not al lowed to go on board of her." The Toulonnais states, that the English are making great preparations for putting Gibraltar in a state of complete security against a coup de main, in the event of a war break ing out between France and the combined Powers. The garrison has been considerably augmented. A letter from Constantinople of the 6th October, published in the Austrian Observer, in reference to the defection of Emir Beschir, says :—" The inhabitants of the mountains were fatigued by his exactions, which were of small profit to Mehemet Ali, because of the 30,000 purses which he levied only a tenth part reached the coffers of the Bey ; the conse quence was that Ibrahim Pacha could only reduce a small part of the taxes levied on the people." Vottrp. ELEGIAC STANZAS THE DEATH OF AN AFFECT 'andard ies of ti " conservative," in every borough town, and kept them thus embodied and opposed in constantly recurring warfare. Now, this is a state of things which must prove, in the long run, the ruin of the "liberal " party, simply because it wants the main elements of patient, and persevering, and continuous exertion. Consider for a moment the two parties in any great town. The conservatives, where are they to be found ? Do they not embrace the far larger proportion of the higher ranks of the middle classes, including nearly all the active virtue and benevolence of the community ? Of the most self-denying and resolute of all classes—the sincerely religious—must we not seek more than nine tenths among the conservative party ? And can it be that these things should fail to exert an influence, growing, as we now see it, year by year, over the judg ment and choice of the respective constituencies ? But turn to the opposing ranks • and what a motley assemblage do we behold ! We should not be' pre pared to deny the existence of some men of piety among the " liberal ' party; but the few of this class who are found in that array are generally dissenters, whose re ligion is sadly beclouded by factious hatred to the church. Nor shall we say that no men of education or respectability are seen ; but these are generally the " moderate whigs " of the party, suspected by their confederates, and ill at ease in their own consciences. Allowing for these two classes, which can scarcely ever reach, alone, a muster roll of a score of votes, of what sort of people is the " liberal party " in a borough town generally composed ? Is it not in most cases a counterpart of the band which met in the cave of Adullum, to which " every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves together ? " And is not this aggregation of all manner of unclean things a circumstance of itself tending powerfully to the con firming and strengthening of the conservative party ? On the whole, then, we have every reason to be both amused and satisfied with this singular blunder of " the clap-trap administration." As to the graver question, of whether the new corporations, in themselves, are likely to prove beneficial to the inhabitants of these towns, or otherwise—is a matter the decision of which must necessarily be postponed until honest and respect able men shall have had a sufficient trial of the work ing of the whole system. DUTIES ON MAHOGANY AND FIR PLANKS (From the London Journal of Commerce.) STATE OF TRADE LEEDS.—The state of our woollen market presents no new feature calling for particular remark. A steady trade is do ing for domestic consumption, but, as usual at this season, the demand for export has begun to decline. There is, how ever, a fair prospect, especially when viewed in relation to the smallness of the existing stocks of balk goods, of an ave rage employment for our workpeople during the winter. BRADFORD MARKET.—We had a siinall attendance of buy ers at our m ar k e t on Th urs d a y, and the business done in the Piece-hall was not so extensive as of late, but prices were fully maintained. There was a pretty good demand for yarn, at previous rates. The wool market was rather dull , but prices suffered no decline.

ON ATE FOREIGN INITLLIGENCE SYRIA The Times of Friday publishes the substance of intelli gence, received by extraordinary express from Marseilles, contained in Turkish, Egyptian, and Malta journals and correspondence, brought by the Fulton French steamer, which left Beyrout on the 12th, Alexandria on the 19th, and Malta on the 27th ult. From these we learn that on the 10th October an engage ment took place between the allied troops and those of Ibrahim and Soliman Pasha, in which the latter were com pletely defeated, and took to the mountains with 200 cavalry only and two officers. 7,000 in killed, wounded, and pri soners, have, from the result of this engagement, fallen into the power of the Sublime Porte. Another account states that Ibrahim had taken up a very strong position near Bey rout with 3,000 men. 4,000 Turks were sent against him under the command of Selim Pasha, assisted by General Jockmus, Commodore Napier, and Colonel Hodges. The attack was so impetuous, that, in a few minutes, Ibrahim was completely routed. One thousand Egyptians were made prisoners, and the rest were killed and wounded or took to flight. Another dispatch says—" We are in pos session of Beyrout, which was evacuated on the night of the 10th, in consequence of disposition manifested by Admiral Stopford and Bandiera to land troops. In order that nobody should be left, the sick were beaten out with sticks by their countrymen. About 2,000 in all, who remained outside the walls, re-entered the next morning, and surrendered them selves prisoners. General Smith has fixed his head-quarters at Beyrout." By the taking of Beyrout about 20 pieces of artillery, with ammunition and provisions, have fallen into the possession of the allied powers. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, It is reported that the York and North Midland Railroad directors contemplate leasing the Hull and Selby, as well as the Leeds and Selby Railway.—Hull Packet. SHiFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM RAILWAY.—The passen gers carried on Monday on the railway from Sheffield to Rotherham were 3327 up to the half-past seven o'clock train, and as there would be two or three more trains after that hour, there is no doubt but upwards of 3500 would be carried from Sheffield, exclusive of the North Midland trains, and if the like number was booked from Rotherham, would make a total of 7000 passengers in one day. The greatest number that has been carried prior to this, on the above railway, in one day, was on the 20th of May, 1830, when 3642 were booked from Sheffield and Brightside, and 3708 from Holmes and Rotherham— total 7350.

STOWELL, CLERK This was an action of libel preferred by the plaintiff, a clergyman of the Roman Catholic church, against the defend ant, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, a clergyman of the established church. The cause was tried before Al r. 'Baron Rolfe at the last Liverpool assizes, and the alleged libel was a statement made by the defendant at a public meeting at Manchester. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 40s. Mr. CRESSWELL now moved for a rule nisi to set the ver dict aside on the ground of misdirection. It appeared that in the course of last year, when the estimates were before the House of Commons, a question was raised whether the annual grant to Maynooth College should be continued. The de fendant, who officiated as a clergyman at Manchester, presided at a public meeting, and in the course of a speech, in which he represented that the practices of the Roman Catholic church, not only in the darkness of past times, but even in the light of the present, were quite unworthy of being supported by any grant of the public money to the College of Maynooth, he supported his arguments by reading from a paper, which was signed by three police-officers, a case which had occurred in the streets of Manchester, to the following effect :—" A person had been seen on several mornings crawling on his hands and knees, and when he was asked why he did so, he said he was doing penance for his sins. He was asked whether it was necessary to do it by way of penance ; he replied it was, and that if he did not do penance his priest would not admit him to the sacrament. He was then asked who his priest was, and he said, Mr. Hearne.' The second count of the declaration charged the uttering the words as a slander, and on that count the verdict passed for the defendant. It was contended on the part of the defend ant that the first count must also be in his favour, as the mere statement of the circumstance at a public meeting could not be construed into the publication of libellous matter. The paper did not reflect on the character of the plaintiff, but merely on the practices of the Roman Catholic church. There was clearly no malice proved, and, therefore, the action could not be sustained. The learned judge, however, was of opinion that the defendant was not justified in making such a statement. In the case of " The King v. Creevy, M.P.," where the defendant had made an alleged libellous speech in the House of Commons, Mr. Justice Le Blanc, who tried the cause, left the jury to say whether such publication was, under all the circumstances of the case, to be considered as malicious. There was no doubt such was the proper course to pursue, and such as the learned baron ought to have adopted on this occasion. His lordship, however, declined to leave the question to the jury whether it was a libel or not, but gave his opinion that it was, and then said (according to the report published in the newspapers, but not the notes of thecounsel,) and, if you agree with me, you will find a verdict for the plaintiff." The jury returned a verdict accordingly. The court took - tiine to consult Mr. Baron Rolfe Mr. CnEsswELL then applied for a rule nisi in arrest of judgment, on the ground that the statement contained no imputation on the character of the plaintiff. The court granted the rule. THE COURT )VINDSOR.—THURSDAY. — ShortIy after three o'clock her Majesty left the castle in a pony phaeton, driven by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Lord Alfred Paget attended her Majesty on horseback. Three other carriages followed, in which were the Coun tess of Sandbach, Countess of Erroll, Hon. Misses Paget and Anson, Lady Ida Hay, Earl Listowell, and Sir Frede rick Stoven. The royal party had not reached the double gates before they were obliged to return, in consequence of a heavy shower. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Lady C. Dundas, walked on the terrace in the morning. The Earl of Erroll, who arrived last evening, drove out in a pony phaeton. . _ 'Sir H. Wheatley arrived at the castle this afternoon COMPRESSED PEAT Fuxu.—We have repeatedly referred to a machine, some time ago invented by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, and latterly perfected by skilful artizans under his direction, for compressing peats. One of his lordship's tenants, on the Drummond Castle estate, Mr. Clark, at Cor your, has, of late, been manufacturing the new fuel, chiefly for the jewellers and steel forgers in England ; and this week a very large supply arrived at the new quay for s hip ment to London. It is made up in the shape and size of soap bars, and so powerful is the compression employed that the o r i g i na l peat is hardly to be recognised in the black and metalic-look ing mass which the machine perfects. The properties of this new fuel are found to be highly advantageous in the branches of manufactures above referred to, and its grea t economy is evinced in the reduced price at which cutlery wrought with it is offered for sale. Sh effield razors, b earing . the mark of " peat compressed," have been on sale thi s y ear throughout the country, we have been i nformed, as low as 27s per dozen. Considering the great extent of peat-mosses, in the highland districts particularly, we look for a rapid ex tension of the use of this valuable invention of Lord Wil loughy's, not only as offering the means of procuring for the inhabitants an abundant supply of a more cleanly and useful fuel than they have hitherto, from their inland situation, been able to obtain, but opening up to them a profitable branch of industry, for which the field is nearly aslnexhausti ble as that of the material.—Perth Courier. PENNY POSTAGE.—A modified rate would have answered every purpose, as thus :—Within the bills of mortality, ld. ; under 100 miles, 2d. ; under 200 miles, 4d. ; and exceeding 200, 6d. ; limiting the weight in all cases to one ounce. This would have been a reasonable reformation ; one that would have secured a revenue, and given satisfaction to all parties. Or, if the clique who demanded the measure from the go vernment had any personal vanity to gratify, perhaps the fol lowing plan would not have been objectionable, had some of our wise legislators happened to hit upon it :—Making, as now, all distances equal, the letters to be paid according to the distinction of the receiver, as thus :—John Snooks, Id. ; Mr. John Snooks, 2d. ; John Snooks, Esq., 3d. ; and there are many of the family of the Snookses that would be glad to pay the 3d. and be the esquire. CAUTION TO PARENTS.—On Saturday last a fine little boy, two years of age, the son of an idustrious labourer at Keswick, named John Cartmel, lost its life in the following shocking manner. The little fellow had wandered into a neighbouring house, where a teapot full of boiling water, standing on the fire-place, attracted his attention, and in stantly seizing it, he drank a portion of its contents. The child was so dreadfully scalded that death put an end to his almost indescribable sufferings on Sunday afternoon.—Car lisle Patriot. AN AERIAL GUY FAwaES.—On Thursday evening be tween five and six o'clock, a machine, about twelve feet in height, constructed of tissue, filled with hydrogen gas, and representing the figure of Guy Fawkes, ascended from th e grounds of a gentleman in the City-road. This apparition, as it may be justly termed, rose in a perpendicular manner, and the action of the wind upon its arms and legs gave it all the effect of a person walking the air. It caused great excite ment among those who witnessed the phenomenon. It pur sued its coarse in the direction of the city, crossing the river into Kent, in some part of which it is supposed to have descended.—Morning Herald. BUDE LIGHT. — In the course of recent experiments with this light, the cost of its production has been so reduced as to enable it to compete, in point of economy, with other lights of inferior power now in use, and arrangements are accord ingly in progress for its introduction into several of the principal streets and shops of the metropolis—an advant age of which the public have not been enabled heretofore to avail themselves, in consequence of the expensive process of pro ducing oxygen from maganese, instead of the improved m ethod of producing it from atmospheric air or water, from whence it can now be obtained. EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS AT BIRMINGIIAM. — We re gret to state, that on Friday morning an explosion of gun powder and other combustible matter took place in Tower. street, by which one child wa s kill e d on the spot, and other par ties seriously, if not fatally, injured. The house at which the accident occurred was occupied by Mr. Small, and the business of a huckster carried on by his wife. It appears that he had been employed in manufacturing fireworks, in anticipation of the sth of November ; and on Friday morn ing, by some accident, yet unaccounted for, ignition took place, followed .by a tremendous explosion. The windows, door, frame of the door, &c. were driven into the street ; and, as may be conceived, the utmost alarm was immediately communicated to the whole neighbourhood. As soon as the alarm had in some degree subsided, the house was examined, and it was found that one of the children of Mr. Small was killed on the spot, and another so seriously injured that it was obliged to ba immediately conveyed to the hospital. An elderly gentleman, passing the house at the tim e , was a l so injured by the glass and wood propelled into the street; but with these exceptions, we learn that few serious injuries were inflicted upon either the inmates of the house, or any other parties in the neighbourhood. We are happy to add, that on Friday afternoon, the police and the officers of the different fire-offices in the town were actively engaged in discovering the depots of firework manufactories, and that in one place, in Dale End, they found no less than 2l cwt. of powder and other combustible materials. It wes immediately ordered to be removed to a place of safety.—Birmingham Advertsier. VERY LIBERAL BUT NOT QUITE IMPARTIAL.—When ever a clergyman steps forward to defend the church, or to strengthen the party pledged to its support , nothing can be indignation more edifying than the pious ‘ of the whig- ra di ca l press against that monster a political parson." He is re minded that his business is not with the things of this world, and that, baying been consecrated to the service of religion, he commits little less than sacrilege upon his own person in mixing himself up with the world's co n t rovers i es and con tentions. A dissenting minister, on the contrary, may be the chaplain of chartist orgies, or the self-constituted tribune of a mob, and a Catholic priest may do battle at the hust ings, or even preach sedition from the a l tar, sans peur et sans reproche. Nor is this distinction observed merely be tween the clergy of the church, as such, and th e m i n i sters o f Popery and dissent. It is carried into the church itself ; for while the Tory in orders may . not open his mouth without offence, not only is the same license allowed to hi s Lib era l brother as to the sectarian and Pa pist, but the same latitude of conduct is imperatively demanded from him. Has Lord Melbourne a rich living to bestow?. He must take c are t o bestow it only upon some one who will strengthen the liberal party. Has he an office in the church of dignity and influ ence at his disposal? He must study one point before all others—to select a person upon whom he can rely for using that influence for the ascendancy of liberal politics. Piety and learning are all very well; but liberal politics are a sine qua" non. A few years ago Dr. Tonso n , a moderate tory, was promoted to the bishopric of Killaloe. The bishopric of Meath is now vacant, and the Chronicle is as much afraid of having another Dr. Tonson inflicted upon the liberal party as the poor Frenchman was of being revisited by his name sake. " Every influence which the government can either command or create must b© brought to hear," and Lord Melbourne must, therefore, make no man Bishop of Meath " of whose liberality as well as of whose piety he has not the clearest evidences and the strongest pledges." What would the Chronicle say if Sir Rob ert P eel announced that no man need look for a mitre to him without the clearest evidences and the strongest pledges of his toryism ? When a liberal says that he detests a political parson, he only means that he hates a parson whose politics run counter to his own, and would crown a Stanley at Norwich for using the same liberty o f speech that he would cruc if y a Phil po t ts at Exeter.—Morning Herald.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE Fanny Elssler has returued to Paris from America. Such was lately the scarcity of wate at Cirencester, that it was sold at twopence the pailful.—Wrcester Journal.

A project for a local college or university at Newcastle upon-Tyne is at present receiving - eat encouragement in that bustling and spirited town. i The learned Dr. Lardner prophesied some time since that It was impracticable to cross the Atlantic by steam.

FRUITFUL POTATOE. - Mr. Thos. Parker of Great Single ton, in the Fylde. has gathered from his garden fifty potatoes, (the produce of one potatoe, called the Guernsey Blue) which weighed 251bs. The seed was purchased from Mr. John Taylor, seedsman, of this town.—Preston Chronicle.

Bulwer, who is the other commissioner. BUDE.—EXTRAORDINARY DREAM AND MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Monday week a man named John Cock, a labourer at the breakwater at Bude, while engaged in blow ing and raising large masses of stone, was relating to his fellow-workman his dream the night before, saying that he dreamt being near the spot they then stood upon, and that the rock went off, and he was blown up in the air. Suddenly, as he spoke these words, the rocks above him gave way, and he was crushed to death by immense stones falling on him, as much as 30 men could remove from the body in an hour. His remains were followed to the grave by 60 of his fellow labourers, walking two-and-two. What makes it more dis tressing, he buried his wife a short time since, and has now left two small children unprotected. &bipping intelligtnrt. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6.—Wind S.E.

At this day's market we have had rather a better supply of Cattle than last week, and the prices a little below our last quotations. Prime Beef Sid to 51c1; middling and inferior from 4id to sd; prilne Wether Mutton from 6d to bid; old Ewes and inferior Mutton 5d to sd. Beasts, 1388; Sheep, 5532. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 7. The imports of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, since this day se'nnight, have been on a very moderate scale, and from abroad we have received only 3,207 barrels of United States' Flour. Duties were paid, from the 29th ult. to the 4th instant, on 839 qrs. of Wheat and 1,414 qrs, Barley. The duty on Wheat remains at 23s 8d per qr., but on Oats and Rye there is an advance of is 6d, 12s 3d and 15s 6d per qr. being the respective rates. Throughout the week the Grain trade has, on the whole, ruled dull ; and, with the moderate supplies above reported, we- cannot quote an alteration in the price of any article. The sales of Danzig Wheat have been at gs 9d to lOs 2d., Lower Baltic red 9s 2d to gs 4d, and the middling descriptions of Foreign 8s 8d to gs per 701bs. Irish new Wheat has gone off very slowly : a little fair Waterford has been sold at 7s gd to 8s per 701bs. Irish new kiln-dried Oats 2s gd to 2s lld per 451bs ; Oatmeal 25s dd to 26s per load. United States' sweet Flour 33s to 345, Canadian 32s to 33s per barrel. One or two parcels of choice new English Barley have realized 40s to 42s per imperial quarter. Nothing has transpired in the bonded market; there are sellers of American Flour at 23s 6d to 24s per barrel. Iflaritets. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, Nov. 6 LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 6 In the early part of the week the demand from the Trade con tinued general, and American Cotton, being less freely offered, brought rather higher prices; since Tuesday the inquiry has become more limited, and prices have receded to the quotations of Friday last.

Our Butter market continues much depressed, the top price of brands of the first character being 96s to 98s. Pickled Butter 223 for seconds. Beef in Ireland this season will be unprecedented ly large. This circumstance in some measure accounts for the present excessive dulness of the market, and the inclination that prices have downward. The currency of Pork is better sustained than that of Beef, although the trade is very lifeless.
