Vottrp. "1,441; THE STOUT OLD BRITISH SHIP. Hurrah 1 for the'stout old British ship, The roonerch of the sea! That bounds like a greyhound from the slip, When the sails are loosen'd free! That, spite of the storm and deadly gun, Ne'er yet its course gave o'er; And never knew what 'twas to run A hostile flag before! It long has the bulwark been of our rights, Of our freedom still the stay ; Then give to the brave old British ship, Three British cheers—hurrah ! When Nelson trode its quarter-deck, Its glory was in its prime ; Victory he had at his finger-beck, As proved in every clime : When England was honour'd and fear'd by all, And nations sung her praise ; But that is a tale we may not recal In these degenerate days; For the stout old ship lies idly ashore, Laid up like a useless tree ; Its batties.and cruises now are o'er, Though it still is fit for sea! The vaunting foreigner long has felt • Its thunder on the main, And he smiles when he thinks the blows it dealt Shall ne'cr be dealt again. But the spirit of Nelson is not dead, It bounds in a hundred hearts, And his story of fame is remembered and read, And studied with our charts ! For cherished with care is the glory it won, The ineed of a thousand years And its foes will fly, as they often have done, When the stout old ship appears! When the brave old ship, as bright as morn, Hoists high its well-known flag ; The flag that has still been unsullied borne, Since the days of Drake and Sprague; Let's see who'll dare dispute its right, To the empire of the main, — 'Twill prove its title clear and bright, Against the world again ! Then give to the stout old British ship, Of our freedom still the stay, That long has the bulwark been of our rights, Three British cheers—hurrah ! • LITERARY NOTICES. The Pilgrim's Progress: in two Parts. By John Bunyan. With Original Notes by the Rev. Thomas Scott, Rector of Aston Sandford, Bucks. Eighth Edition. London : L. and G. Seeley, Fleet-street. 1840. The intrinsic value and excellence of the Pilgrim's Pro gress may be inferred from the high estimation in which it has been held, during the last and present centuries, by every denomination of Christians. There is scarcely a language in the civilized world into which it has not been translated. In this country we do not know of any work that has enjoyed a larger circulation,' excepting the Sacred Volume whose truths it so beautifully and affectingly illustrates and enforces. Among the testimonies to the interest excited by the perusal of this admirable work we find that of Dr. Johnson, who re marked that " the Pilgrim's Progress must be ranked among a very few books indeed, of which the reader, when he comes to the conclusion, wishes they had been longer." It would be superfluous to add anything in its praise. The present edition is the best that we have ever seen. The well known character of the Rev. Thomas Scott, as one of the ablest commentators on the Bible, is a sufficient guarantee for the orthodoxy of the accompanying notes, which are equal in extent to the text of the work. The biography is a very valuable addition to the volume, and it is almost un necessary to add that it breathes a truly catholic spirit. The plates, after Stothard, are beautifully executed. We do not know of any human production more worthy of the aid of art than the Pilgrim's Progress. Asa suitable and elegant pre sent for the young we would recommend this volume in pre ' ference to all the annuals ever published. The Redeemer. A Poem. By William Howorth, Author of "The Cry of the Poor." London : Charles Tilt, Fleet street. 1840. In these days, when mediocre poetry is so - abundant, it is quite refreshing to meet with a work like the one before us, evincing as it does genius of the highest order, Sanctified by deep and fer:ienqiety, and consecrated to the most hal lowed purposes. The subject of this poem is one which ought never to be approached but with the deepest awe and reverence. Sikh, we are happy to say, has been the spirit in which the authoi!has ventured on a theme so sublime as the redemption. The greatest attraction which this work pre sents to the Christian„readet is, the religious tone by which it is pervaded. The language throughout the poem is so lemn, unaffected, and eminently adapted to the subject. The imagery employed is natural and undistorted. The versifica tion is flowing and harmonious. We feel convinced that this work must become popular among the Christian public. No one can rise fromits perusal without acknowledging that the author is a man of commanding and original genius, and en titled to take his stand among the sacred bards of Great Britain. We sincerely hope that the success attendant upon the present effusion may stimulate him to future efforts. Extracts from Holy Writ, and Various Authors, intended as Helps to Meditation and Prayer, principally for Soldiers and Seamen. By Capt. Sir Nesbitt . Willoughby,' R.N., 8:c. Lundon : printed for the Author, or Compiler, for Gratuitous Circulation, by T. H. Coe, 27, Old Change, Cheapside. 1839. This excellent compendium of scriptural knowledge is ad mirably adapted for the purpose for which it was intended by its benevolent author. It is composed of striking passages from the Sacred Volume, pithy extracts from the works of eminent divines, interpersed with several original reflections. The extracts are neither arranged under distinct heads, nor placed so as to have any peculiar connection cvith each other. The volume may be opened at any page, and read, as it were, by snatcheS. We trust that its perusal may be found useful to many, especially among those classes for which the author feels such deep solicitude. We would particularly recom mend this volume as a companion in the sick chamber, where works of a more connected character can seldom be read without superinducing an aggravation of suffering. Observations on the History and Evidence of Me Resurrec. tion of Jesus Christ. By Gilbert West, Esq. Edinburgh Adam and Charles Black, North Bridge. This and the following form a part of the series of " Christian Literature." now in course of publication. We have already expressed our opinion of the plan and execution of this invaluable series. Prom the extreme cheapness of the treatises which have already appeared, we have no doubt that they will obtain a very extensive circulation. The work before us is one of considerable celebrity. It was written in answer to a pamphlet, published about the middle of the last century, entitled, "'The Resurrection of Jesus considered, in answer to the Trial qf the Witnesses; by a Moral Philo sopher." The author of that pamphlet, in order to overturn the testimony of the evangelists, attempted to show that they contradicted each other in the accounts which they gave of the fact of the resurrection. The object of the work before us is, to clear the sacred writers from the imputation of con tradicting each other, as well as to illustrate and confirm their testimony. The author has fully and triumphantly succeeded in his vindication of the divine records. His proofs are clear and unquestionable, and his arguments remain unanswered and unanswerable. A Practical Treatise on Regeneration. By John Wither spoon, D.D. Edinburgh : Adam and Charles Black. -This work has always been considered a master-piece on the subject of which it treats. In the author's - views we cor dially concur. Fr . = the expression, " Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," and other similar expressions, the inference drawn is, that the change implied, and which is meant under the term regeneration, is not merely partial, but universal—that it is not merely ex ternal and imperfect, but inward, essential, and complete— and that it . is supernatural in its nature and origin. We cordially recommend this work to the notice of all who de sire a clear and evangelical elucidation of the subject. The Omnipresence of the Deity. By the Rev. R. Mont gomery, A.M. Sixteenth Edition. Glasgow : John Sym ington and Co. This is emph a ti ca lly "The People's Edition ,, of Mr, Montgomery's popular works. The price, considering the execution of the work, is exceedingly moderate, and we hope it Will obtain an extended circulation. On the merits of The Omniprescence of the Deity we have already pronounced our opinion. It abounds with glowing imagery, lofty thoughts, and touching appeals to the purer feelings of our nature. Poetry of the highest order is here allied to the most fervent piety. That man must, indeed, be very destitute of religion, taste, or feeling, who can rise front the perusal of this poem without pleasure and edification. The Christian Observer. January, 1839. This number contains several very iatele, are:tinepineacruts cm articles.lial y " The Ten Virgins'ris an excellent essay. The " Court Circular Rel i g ious Announcements app ro p r i a te, and much ca lled for. The meditation s from r " Sir H. Wotton's Relique a re highly beautiful an d elo buent. " A Fortnight in England : by a French Protestant," is a very characteristic diary, quaint and original in its style. The " specimens of Romanist Superstitions in Germany" will be perused with a melancholy degree of interest. They exhibit Popery in some of its most hideous lights. The Accordance of the Church of England with Scripture; and the Dis-ordanee . of Independency and other Fornis of Dissent from Scripture. A Sermon preached at St. Mi chael's, Liverpool, at the request of the Young Men's Church of England Association. By the Rev. Joseph Baylee, A.B. London : Whittaker and Co.; Liverpool : Lace-and Addison, Perris, and Newling. 1839. This sermon constitutes one of the most masterly defences of the Church of England that we have ever met with. The respected author has most triumphantly established the po sition assumed in the title. lie has irrefragably proved the strict accordance of the Church with the revealed will of Chrit, and as triumphantly proved the manifest discordance of Independency and other forms of dissent from the scrip tures. The sermoUtreits Ofllie nature and purposes of the Christian Church L--the, connection between Church and State—the affairs of the Christian Church—the extent of the authority in the Church—the ordinances at; doctrines of the Church—and the unlawfulness of dissent or schism. All these topics' are handled with great ability. Many of the Reverend Preacher's illustrations are striking and original, and cannot fail to carry conviction into every candid and un prejudiced mind. His appeals to scripture are forcible and unanswerable. His language, which it is chaste, eloquent, and dignified, is, at the same time, plain and intelligible to the most ordinary capacity. We cordially recommend this sermon as a powerful antidote to the poisonoUs trash so ex tensively disseminated by voluntaries and infideli. The Educator and Children's Cyclopedia. By v''• Martin. No. 1. London : Sherwood and Co., Paternoster Row. To this work, we are happy to say, we can give our cordial and unqualified recommendation. It is especially designed for the edification of youth, and very successfully blends amusement with instruction. One of its main features is, to convey religious instruction in connection with, but not in subordination to, general information. The author is an attached member of the Church of England, and he as sures his readers that "he con only teach according to the convictions of his mind and conscience." He adds that "he has long been of opinion, and is daily strengthened in his conviction, that religion is the only sound basis of all educa tion ; and that, without it forms a prominent feature in every ' course of tuition, there is no hope either for the teacher, or the individual taught." The work embraces a series of ex positions of christian faith and practice—teachings from nature—the philosophy of common things—natural history —natural philosophy—ancient and modern history—the arts and manufacturing processes—travels and adventures in all parts of the world—tales, historical and social, grave and gay—drawing and the fine arts—and sports and amusements. From the specimen before us we have no hesitation in say ing that it possesses all the elements of popularity. Report of the Chester Diocesan Board ofEducation. War- rington : J. W. Booth. 1839. In this valuable and carefully compiled report we have a full exposition _of the objects contemplated in the compre hensive plan of education for the middle classes, now in course of developement, throughout almost every diocese in the kingdom, under the auspices of the National So6ety. In the introduction to this report we have a full explanation of the arrangements approved of for the effectual working of the plan to which we have alluded. The report itself embo dies all the rules and regulations adopted in the diocese of Chester. together with a list of all the officers appointed in each deanery. The analysis of the state of education in the diocese is a very valuable document embracing very copious statistical details respecting the population, and the number of children educated both in connection with the Church of England, and under Roman Catholic and dissenting tuition. We rejoice to find that the Diocesan Society is gOing on prosperously, and we trust that the next report will show a great increase in the amount of subscriptions. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. CORN . LAW AGITATION. ' (From the Staffordshire Gazette.) The agitation of the Manchester mighty corn-law " league," although wound up on the 13th by a " grand banquet," turns out this year, as it did last, a complete failure ; the spouting emissaries who had been sent to raise the country, having been either scouted or beaten down by argument at the various meetings which have been held; and this, princ;pally by men of the working classes, who have not yet forgotten how completely they were made tools of, by the same parties, at the time of the reform mania. Whether we look at the notable list advertised in the Manchester papers, of president, vice-presidents, and stewards, and composed chiefly of Socinians and other dissenters from the church—all notoriously hostile to the established institutions of the country--or to the destructive character of the . whig-radical members of parliament expected at the feed—twenty-seven in num ber, with O'Connell at their head : or to the absence of all the first-rate merchants, and all' the first-rate commercial friends and professional men ; there can be no doubt as to the object of these second-rate cot ton brawlers, always the most tyrannical and grinding with their workpeople. The object is no other than to pull down the landowners as the steady supporters of the church and the constitution, and the true friends of the lower classes ; and with them, the wages of their workmen. Now, as the members of this trickery " league," and the M.P.'s, who were invited to the dinner, are to a man advocates of the poor law, and of the free trade folly, which admits indiscriminately the cheap manufactured articles of other countries without compelling them to take our manufactures in return — and are, besides, the notorious supporters of the wretched government which so grievously afflicts the nation, we seriously advise the working classes in this county, both agricultural and commercial, to be well on their guard how they lend their assistance, against their own interests, to a set of second-rate cotton manufac turers of Manchester, who, under the pretence of cheap corn, would soon reduce their wages, as they have al ready reduced the wages of the poor hand-loom weav ers of Lancashire : viz., to the starvation point. It is well known to all the great leading merchants of Man chester, and to most of these corn " leaguers" too, that all the great corn-growing countries of the continent are, since the war, become great manufacturing rivals, and do not, therefore, want our goods ;—that they are many of them sellers instead of buyers, exemplified in a manner which has made the most sceptical no longer doubt; by the extraordinary circumstance, that during the six months of last year, when such an amazing importation of wheat took place, at the low duty of Is. and 2s. 6d. a quarter, there was never known so few orders either for cotton twist or cotton goods for those countries from which the corn was sent. It is also well known, that Prussia, which is at the head of these manufacturing states, has been permitted to place new duties twice upon British goods, at the very moment when the sapient ex-member of these' " leaguers" (Poulett Thompson) reduced the duties on Prussian hemp and flax; and that the German Commercial League, instituted for the sole purpose of excluding our manufactures, has been permitted to embrace eight German states, without any attempt being made by a whig government to arrest its progress. It is alsq known that eight millions of sovereigns have been sent out of England to these states, for corn, without their having taken British goods in exchange— a sum which, had it been spent amongst our own far mers, would at this moment have been circulating amongst our unemployed work-people, instead of af fording additional means of rivalry to the work-people of the continent. It is known too, that two millions are annually abstracted from the comforts of the work ing classes, under the name of free-trade, to pay France, which takes nothing but machinery in return, (in the face of existing laws against its exportation,) for silks, gloves, shoes, china, cambric, jewellery and millinery, wines, &c.; and this, after an experiment of fifteen years, during which the silk and glove trades have been destroyed, and the wages of British labour brought down to the French standard, at which no Englishman either can or ought to live. We have no time to follow the subject of free trade, which we have been led into, at greater length at present; but we cannot help men tioning as a sample of what our fellow townsmen may in their turn expect from it bye and bye, if the system be persevered in much longer. We saw in the chief organ of the Corn " League' Gentry,—the Manchester Guardian of the Ist inst., an advertisement, stating that a.depot had been opened at No. 27, King-street, Manchester, for the sale of Ladies and Gentlemen's French boots and shoes,—Gentlemen's Wellington boots, at 21s. a pair; shoes no doubt as low in pro portion.

" I would not care for his coining, said George Rose, " if he would not utter them.' A lady visiting the British Museum inquired if they had a skull of Newton ; when answered in the negative, she said, " I wonder at that ; they have got one at Oxford." DOUBLE FARMERS.—The Siamese twins have purchased a farm in Wilkes county, N. C., and gone to farm it in real earnest. They drive a double team, and ought to raise a double crop. " My dear madam," said a doctor to his patient, " I am glad to see you yet in life. At my last visit yesterday, you know, I told you you had but six hours to live." Yes, doctor, you did ; but I did not take the dose you left." A Yankee orator, wishing to conciliate some Germans just previous to an election, in order to obtain their votes, ob served, that though he was not a German himself, yet he had a brother who was remarkably fond of German sausages !

POPISH INTRIGUES.—An establishment has been recently formed near Geneva, to serve as an asylum for such Protes tants as are inclined to embrace Catholicism. The Pope has contributed a small sum towards the first expenses, and granted certain indulgences for such persons as may support the institution. _ . A letter from the canton of Uri states, that the road of the Mount St. Gothard is so impeded by snow, which in differ ent places lies from 100 to 300 yards deep, that it is impas sable almost for foot passengers, as the frost has not been sufficiently severe to harden the snow, and avalanches are constantly falling. The boring instrument now at work for the Artesian well in the abattoir at Grenelle, has reached the depth of 508 metres, or 1,6661 feet. The earth brought up is still a greenish clay. It requires 4 horses and 12 men to keep the apparatus in action ; and it is daily hoped to see water burst up. The temperature increases a degree in warmth for every 30 yards penetrated downwards. An important discovery has been made by M. Didron, du ring his recent archaeological tour in Greece and Turkey, of a Greek manuscript, about 200 years old, containing a com plete code of religious monumental paintings. This docu ment, found at Mount Athos, gives full instructions concern ing all the subjects and persons that ought to be painted in churches, with the age, costume, and attributes that each figure ought to have. A copy of this manuscript is making at Mount Athos with the greatest care. Another manuscript, containing a similar code on religious architecture. is be lieved by M. Didron to exist at Adrianople, and he has some hopes of obtaining it.—French paper. Madame Gans, a lady at Berlin, distinguished for her talents, her large fortune, and her encouragement of litera ture and literary men, on returning home from the theatre on the night of the 3d instant, found her house surrounded by an immense crowd. Having, with great difficulty, made her way in, and reached her chamber, she there saw a body of armed police engaged with five robbers, who had broken open the doors and got in, while a sixth was dying on the sofa, the blood flowing from two wounds in his breast. The shock of this horrible sight was so severe that Madame Gans, who was in her 74th year, fell down in a fit of apoplexy, and expired almost instantaneously.—Paris paper. The old castle of the ancient Dukes of Coburg is considered impregnable, and is the place where the Elector of Saxony . hid " Luther" after the Papal bull was iipued ; in fact pro tection was first given to the Protestant cause by the house of Coburg, whose members embraced the reformed faith and who now are Protestants, and constantly attend the Lutheran church. Upon the confirmation of the Princes Albert and Einest, the Grand Duke ordered. a medal to be struck to commemorate this event, which took place April 12, 1835 ; on the obverse are the pOrtraits of the two young princes encircled with this inscription—" Ernst and Albert Prinzen Von S Coburg-Gotha." And on the reverse, encircled with a wreath of oak, " Confirmt Den 12 April, 1835." In the castle remain to this day the relics of Luther—his inkstand, seat, and writing-table, and his portrait by Lucas Cranach, which are preserved with religious veneration by the reign . ing family. The following extraordinary story is related by the Au dience:—" The town of Saint Germain l'Elerm, in the Pay de Dome, and its neighbourhood," says this journal, " have been thrown into consternation ; the communications are in- terrupted, and the letter carriers have suspended their service. An animal of great ferocity desolates the country, attacking men and animals. Its victims are innumerable. It made its first appearance in the commune of Fournois, where the inhabitants of an entire village were horribly torn to pieces. Far from being terrified at cries or numbers, it was in the midst of groups that it showed the greatest fury. The com munes of Fournois, Chambon, Saint Germain-l'Herm, and St. Bonnet, have been the theatre of its exploits. A great number of persons were torn so horribly, that many of them died, and others are in such a state that death would be pre ferable, for some have lost an arm, others a leg, and some even had their skulls fractured." After this description of the ravages of the animal, the correspondent of the Audience favours us with that of the monster itself, as it is not to be found in Buffon. "Itis of the size of an ordinary wolf, and is striped like a tiger, black and white. Its hair stands up like 'the quills of a porcupine, its skin is hard and scaly, ' (the Audience does not say how the terrified inhabitants suc ceeded in making such minute observations), " his feet are armed with sharp claws, which leave their sanguinary mark upon all that they touch. Our mountaineers say it is a hyena, similar to that which once ravaged the department of the Lozere l and they are therefore. in suoli . a state of alarm, thfit 'they will only venture out in.large bodies (en caravanes), armed with pikes, hatchets, and scythes, and placing the women in the centre, for it is upon them principally that this ferocious beast vents its fury." SWINDLING IN PARIS.—The police are still actively en gaged in putting down private gaming houses. The cercle (club-house), in the Vivienne, has been suppressed, for the present at least, and visits have been paid to several similar establishments. Some English Chevaliers d'lndustrie, of whom there are still a great number in Paris, have received a polite intimation that their absence will be more agreeable than their company; one of them the notorious Captain —, of duelling notoriety, has been absent for some time in consequence of such an intimation. The following story is told of his departure. He was living in a first-rate hotel with a lady, when he received notice to quit. He owed a heavy account, but the I , lndlord was not uneasy, as he knew that he and the lady had an abundant and splendid wardrobe. Having taken places for himself and his chere amie, without, of course, letting his landlord know of his intended depar ture, he invited nine or ten of his acquaintances to dinner, and " to come in cloaks." After a splendid dinner the party left, and the porter of the house, who had seen them enter in cloaks, did not of course think it singular that they should leave in the same manner. On the following morning the captain called for his bill, and told the landlord he was going to his banker's to get a draft cashed. He then went out with the lady, and paid a visit to a friend, where all their ward robe and other effects, which had been conveyed away under the cloaks of his guests, were waiting for him, with three or four new trunks wich had been purchased. At three o'clock in the afternoon he was on his way to Brussels. At night the landlord, being surprised at his not returning, went into his room and saw all the trunks safe, but fancied they were very light. On the following morning a commissary of police was called in, and the trunks were found to be empty. THE RESTORATION OF THE JEWS. (To the Editor of the Staffordshire Gazette.) Sia,—A few months past you ably pointed out the course of policy to be pursued by this country in the affairs of the East, and gave some reasons for supposing the period of the Jews' restoration to be at hand. If you will allow me, I will present some more powerful motives to the country, urging it to assist the scattered people now about to rise into glory and power; and show, both from the Prophets and the general aspect of the times, that the "time of the indigna tion" is nearly at an end—that upon us, indeed, are the lat ter days come. In the first place, I shall point out how remarkably many different prophetic dates terminate in one year, 1844, all commencing their reckoning from perfectly independent and different circumstances. I shall consider to begin with the prophecies of Daniel relating to the "abomination which maketh desolate," referring•it, as all commentators agree, to the :Mahommedans ; and it is remarkable, that Sop hro nius, the patriarch of Jerusalem, at the time of its occupa tion by Omar and the Saracens, should have used, when be holding their entry, this very expression, " This is, indeed, the abomination spoken of by Daniel the prophet." Now, the duration of this abomination, or the period to scatter the holy people, is, according to the prophet, a time, times, and a half, which corresponds to 1260 days, or prophetic years ; and, commencing the calculation from the flight of Mahomet, the first year of the Hegira, A.D. 622, and 1260 years termi nate in 1841 ; 1260 lunar or Mahommedan years end in 1844. In the Apocalypse the duration of the power of the beast that had blasphemy written on its forehead, is forty and two months, and the time of the woman travailing in the wilder ness is 1260 days of years, or a time, times, and the dividing of times. These, as they do not refer to the Mohamme dans, but to the Popish beast and his oppressions, must be counted solar years, and calculated from the commencement of Papal power. Pope Pelagius first declared his infalli bility, and, consequently, first had the name of blasphemy written on his forehead, in the year A.D. 584, 1260 years, or 42 solar months from that date, end in 1844. The little horn of the fourth beast spoken of by Daniel, and mentioned again by St. John, that was to have power of a time, times, and the dividing of time, is undoubtedly identical in all its marks with the Papal horn, and commencing, like it, in A.D. 584, it ends also in 1844. There were to be 2300 days, or years to the cleansing of the sanctuary foretold by Daniel—the dif ficulty here is, where to begin the calculation from ; I think there are many reasons for reckoning the symbolical cleansing by Ezra. The decree of Artaxerxes to Ezra was given in B.C. 456, 2300 years from that date end in 1844—the time when the Jews will take first possession of their land amidst strife and tumult such as the world has never seen. But there is another and a remarkable date yet to be consi dered : the sixth woe, or trumpet, is to last a day, a month, a year, and an hour. A day or one year, a month or 30 years, a year or 360 years, and an hour or 15 days, in all 391 and a few days. This woe is to commence after the loosing of the enemy from the great river Euphrates, and is usually referred to the Turks. The most marked period of their history, after their advance from the river, is the taking of Constantinople, A.D. 1453 ; the 391 years from that time end in 1814. I have here pointed out six dates ending in 1844, all referring to the contemporaneous events of the restoration of the Jews, and the judgment of the dragon and the beast. There are two more dates when some other pro phecies terminate in 1873, when the 1290 years are accom plished, and Mahommedanism extirpated—see Daniel ;—and if the 2300 years are reckoned from Artaxerxes' commission to Nehemiah, instead of Ezra, n.c. 427, they end in 1873, the final cleansing of the sanctuary. On that date will Gog and Magog be buried. The armies of Gog and Magog are said in Ezekiel to take seven months burying ;- seven months are 210 days of years, or half a time. Ittill follow commen tators intupposing the armies of Gog , and Magog to be the Mahommedans, and it is remarkable that when 1873 - arrives, the Turks will have been just 210 years declining or burying, for their last conquest was Candia, in A.D. 1669, since which time they have uninterruptedly declined in power and domi nion. Vain, then, are the efforts of nations to uphold the integrity of the Ottoman empire—the sure voice of prophecy has declared it must fall ! Here are three eras terminating in 1873 ; two more very remarkable prophecies end in 1917. the 1337 years of Daniel, when the era of Blessedness com mences, and the last of the four tyrannical empires is finally broken up and completely destroyed. The four great em pires are typified by the images of Nebuchadnezzar, the head of which was gold, and the toes iron, mixed with clay. " Thou art this head of gold," says the prophet to the king, and the holy Roman empire is the iron mixed with clay, and "it must endure until seven times have passed over.' Se ven times seven weeks of years, or 2520 days or prophetic years, beginning, of course, with the reign of this head of gold, Nebuchadnezzar, in n.c. 603, in 1917 the 2520 years will be ended, and the prophecy accomplished. " Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God," by the mouth of Amos, " that I will send a famine in the land ; not a famine of bread nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." This has been accomplished, and has been shown for the last 1200 years, as Judea has had no Christian Church therein until lately. That it now possesses one proves that the ,s,ii t b i n r i i e n g o f a g t h a i e n r t c h s e t o c r a a p t t i v n is n i ty of i nigh, when, a y people, e, s l A s r n y a t e o4 s a a nd s , " I they y shall build the waste cities and inhabit them ; and I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled out of their land, which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God." (To be continued.) TITS DEVONPORT ELECTION During the last week ne gociations were carried on, aq u ic t ian a g u ements made between t and Leach, to unite the . Dawson.

The experiment has been tried, and Mr. Tufnell is pronounced isu to have had the majority in his favour. Mr. Leach then an address, expressing a hope that those friends who had espoused his cause would rally round Mr. Tufnell.— Gcvern ment Morning Paper. MISCELLANEOUS. The Archbishop of York has given a second donation of £2OO to the York Diocesan Education Society for the Chil dren of the Poor. In Loudon, the legal profession consists of 1500 barristers, 100 conveyancers and pleaders, and 3000 solicitors and attor neys. Iti Dublin there are 700 barristers, and 1800 solicitors and attorneys. Mr. Parker has given a formal contradiction to the rumour that he was about to retire from the representation of the Southern division of Devonshire. A white, or Albino woodcock, was shot at Westwood Park, the demesne of J. S. Pakington, Esq., M.P., last week, by one of the shooting party there assembled. Our readers will regret to learn that the amiable and ve nerable poet of Bremhill, the Rev. Canon Bowles, is in a -very declining state of health.—Bath Chronicle. An expedition, under the orders of Capt. Trotter, R.N., in which three iron steamers are to be engaged, is, we un derstand, about to be fitted out to proceed up the Niger. The Augsbnrgh Gazette quotes the following from Co bourg :—" Prince Albert, on marrying the Queen of Eng land, will preserve his title of Duke of Saxe, which his an cestors have rendered so illustrious. Our ducal house is on the point of contracting another high alliance, which will shortly be officially made known to the public." Lady Sarah Villiers, the daughter of Lady Jersey, has been selected by her Majesty as one of the Ladies in Wait ing at the ceremony of her marriage. Mr. Bradshaw, of Canterbury notoriety, is, we understand, on a visit at Mid dleton, the seat of her Ladyship, with several other distin guished fashionables.—Cupid. An enormous water serpent was killed on the 2d inst. by a boatman on the Mississippi. It measured eight feet in length, was of the thickness of a man's leg, and was landed in IVl'Cracken county, Kentucky, just below the mouth of the Ohio, and taken to Wilmington. The Lexington papers call it a young sea serpent. It was a dull brown colour. PAYING DEAR FOR YOUR WHISTLE.—It is well known that the Shrewsbury News, for several months, inserted (weekly) " Nicholas Nickleby"—in fact, the whole of that work appeared, without a single omission. An action was commenced against the publisher, and on Monday last Mr. Ford, solicitor, ex-mayor, and a reputed shareholder in the News, went to London and compromised the action with Messrs. Chapman and Hall, the holders of the copyright of that unequalled work, by paying a sum of more than £5OO. — Dublin Evening Mail. Tan HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The house was lighted up on Tuesday evening to try the effect of Mr. Gurney's Bade light. There are 14 globular lights—namely, seven over each of the side galleries, and two scarlet blinds have been affixed to the ceiling. The benches for the members have been re-covered, and the backs re-polished with French polish. The seats of the strangers' gallery have been set apart for the Speaker's orders, and the gallery will now not contain more than about 100 persons. Workmen were employed up to a late hour last evening in completing the alterations in the house.—Stan dard. CONVERT FROM ROMANISM.—It is known that the first wife of Don Carlos died during the residence of that prince in England, and that she was buried at Gosport. A Spanish priest, Don Barnabas Rodriguez, was stationed in that place by Don Carlos's desire, whose chief duty it was to say masses for the repose of the soul of his diseased wife. This gentle man, has, we understand, lately become a convert to protes tantism, and has published his reasons for abjuring the faith in which he was educated. — 'Jerks Chronicle. THE POSTAGE STAMPS.—We learn that the construction of the stamps is advancing with all speed ; the several artists to whom they are entrusted being actively engaged upon them. In the stamp for letter paper, and the adhesive stamp, a pro file of the Queen is the principal ornament. The letter pa per stamp is being engraved by W. Wyon, R.A. medallist to -the mint. Charles Heath is engraving the drawing taken from Wyon's City medal, by H. Corbould. intended for the ad hesive stamp. W. Mulready, R.A. has furnished the design for the cover and envelope, which is in the hands of John Thompson, for engraving.—Morning Chronicle. BANKERS' ASSETS.—The Morning Post, in one of its city articles last week, told an amusing story of a joint-stock bank lately set up in,the city, the whole of whose paid-up capital never exceeded £lOO, and which never could at any period have answered a check for £lO. According to our contem ... porary, the sole clerk and manager of the establishment must have ate up the whole principal and interest of the concern ; for that whoever went into the bank always fziund the afore said manager with a plate and knife before him on his desk. The Palmerston print of last night threatens the Archbishop of Canterbury, that if he do not apologise within a month for bestowing preferment on Dr. Molesworth, he shall not be al lowed to perform the marriage ceremony at the approaching union of her majesty with Prince Albert. This is rather cool; but it is beaten hollow by a paragraph in the columns of the same journal, in which her majesty is indirectly reproached for having selected " Lady Sarah Villiers, the daughter of Lady Jersey, to be one of the ladies in waiting at the cere mony of her marriage ! " How very unpardonable of her majesty ! But we hope it is not intended to make her ma jesty, like the archbishop, apologise for this appointment, on pain of not being married ! No, no ; Cupid cannot be so cruel.—Times. RUMOURED INDISCRETION IN HIGII LIFE. — The un fortunate separation of a noble lord from his lady is just now a topic of leading interest, and the circumstance has thus been represented in the fashionable circles :—lt is stated that the lady was discovered in a situation of very proximate famili arity with an illustrious personage who was on a visit at the time at the hospitable mansion of a noble friend, where the unfortunate couple were also staying. A marriage now on the tapis, so singularly mixes up some of the individuals con cerned,.as to give .a very painful novelty to this unfortunate affair, and to involve a noble lord and his intended bride in a position of the greatest delicacy.—Morning Post. t , ROMISII TOLERATION.--On 'Sunday, the sth inst., the remains of John WEvoy, a Protestant, aged 85 years, were interred in the church-yard of Tontstown ; hiS wife, a Ro man'Catholic, having been- buried some time previously in' the same place. On the Wednesday night following the body was disinterred by some persons unknown, and left in the coffin, at some distance from the grave. The only rea son for so doing was stated (truly) by the man's grand daughter (herself a Romanist) to have been that I\l'Evoy died a Protestant, and refused, when dying, to permit a Ro-, man Catholic priest to attend him. This outrage occurred in a neighbourhood where Protestants and Catholics are ap parently upon the best possible term's . , and where, within the last six months, a considerable sum has been lent out entirely to the latter, from the loan fund, established and conducted solely by the Protestant clergyman, the Rev. John Bagot. M'Evoy never was a Roman Catholic.—Dublin Evening Mail. DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—On Saturday last, Mr. William Nash, blacksmith, formerly landlord of the King's Head public-house, at, Longford, near Gloucester, attempted to put a period to his existence in the following horrid manner. He had been left at home , by himself, with the exception of a little girl, and during the temporary ab sence of the latter, she heard the report of a gun, and on go ing into the kitchen, she found Mr. Nash lying on the ground, and the discharged gun lying across the fender, but with the hammer still cocked. The assistance of the neighbours was procured, and Mr. Keane, surgeon, quickly seht for. The unhappy man, Nash, was lately an inmate of the Lunatic Asylum, and though latterly much recovered, it had been recommended to keep dangerous instruments out of his reach. When left alone, it is supposed that he took down the gun, which appears to have been loaded with powder only, and while sitting in a chair by the fireside, to have put the muzzle in his mouth, and by causing a burning coal to fall on the priming, he fired the gun, the charge from which blew away part of his tongue and jaws, arid horribly muti lated his face. He continues still alive, hut in a dreadful state.—Bath Chronicle. WINDSOR CASTLE.—About five or six weeks since a fis sure was observed in the wall at the north-western extremity of the North Terrace close to the Winchester Tower, the residence of Sir Jeffrey Wyattville. The. opening on the • northern side extended from the top of the wall to the surface of the earth on the outer side, a distance of some 20 or 30 feet ; and on the western side, from the turrets down to the archway' entrance to the vaults beneath, which extend under the whole length of the terrace. As soon 4as the fissure was discovered, workmen were employed to fill up the interstices (or " point" them) with mortar, in order to ascertain if the cracks would go on increasing. Within a very short period after this had been done, the opening not only widened, but extended alon g the lower pathway, parallel with the Win chester Tower to a distance of 14 or 15 yards. The fissure now extends to a distance• of upwards of 25 yards. Mr. Whitman, the clerk of the works, upon perceiving the dan gerous state of the wall, lost no time in communicating with Sir Jeffrey Wyattville, who was then in London, on the sub ject, by whom the necessary instructions to proceed in such an emergency were immediately forwarded. Upon entering the vaults underneath the terrace, two large cracks were ob servable, commencing from the bottom of the wall on the north side, extending completely across the arch, and termi nating at the commencement of the outer wall of the Castle. These fissures were ordered to be " pointed" in the same manner as those on the outer wall, and with the same results; for after a few days the openings were found to be consider ably enlarged. The first step determined upon was to ascer tain how far from the foundation of the wall the injury ex tended, and workmen are now employed in digging a shaft within the arched vaults on the northern side for this pur pose. As far as they have yet proceeded, so far extends the opening. It is feared, unless some plan be devised before the breaking up of the frost, to secure the immense mass of stonework which is now in so threatening and dangerous a state, that not only will a large portion of the terrace fall down the steep slope by which it is bounded on the north side, but that it will carry with it some thousands of tons of 'earth into the vale beneath, where is situated some stabling belonging to the canons of Windsor, and close to which is the extensive brewery of Messrs. Reid and Co., late Mr. Ramsbottam's. Some twelve months ago a deep trench or ditch was dug close to the New Terrace-wall, by order of the dean and canons of Windsor (to whom the slopes and a large piece of land on this side belong), forthe purpose of receiving the water which runs off the terrace (after rains, &c.) through small gratings, and which, previously to this being dug, ran down the slopes upon their land below. The trench was in tended to have turned the course of this water in another direction ; but, instead of doing so, it remained in the ditch, where it soaked into the earth, and thus, as it is generally supposed, sapped the very foundation of the wall itself, and thence the dangerous state of this part of the terrace, which was erected as long since as the reign of Charles 11., who ex tended it westward upwards of 100 yards. Ministerial paper. INFLUENZA AMONG HORSES.—There has scarcely been a season in the memory of man more unfavourable for hunters that have been constantly on the move from one country to another than the present. Even those horses which have had none of those difficulties to contend with arising from a frequent change of stables, corn, hay, and water, have with very few exceptions been attacked by the prevailing.epidemic generally known by the term influenza ; and in some, in stances it has proved. fatal. The weather has, no doubt, in most cases augmented the disease ; but to such horses as have been exposed to a continual change of stabling, another serious difficulty has presented itself- The high price of old oats has unfortunately induced many of the innkeepers on the road to new, which, for the sake of appeasing some of their inexperienced customers, have been in many instances subject to the injurious process of being kiln-dried, In the driest season after a favourable harvest, oats are not fit to use as horse-corn until they are at least six months old ; and after such a harvest as the last, succeeded by the damp weather which we have experienced, a much greater length of time is necessary to render them sound and wholesome. Un fortunately the innkeepers have their customers in their power to a very considerable extent, inasmuch as the ,horses must either eat such provender as may be supplied:fat', them, or go without. I have threatened to point out some of the place at which the purveyance is so very defective, and will most assuredly do so if 1 find a continuance of such gross imposi tion. Dear as good old oats are, at the usual charge of six pence per quartern there is ample profit, and the best article ought to be supplied. The distemper which has been so pre valent with horses is a kind of inflammatory. catarrh, attended with an unusually distressing cough, 'the windpipe appearing to suffer greatly from irritation. The most effectual method of treating this complaint seems to be by presenting a cooling, but not a lowering diet, such as bran-mashes, carrots, lin seed or oatmeal gruel, and some of the usual febrifuge medi cines, not forgetting to stimulate the external portion of the windpipe as well as the submaxillary and subliugual glands, and continuing the stimulus, without blistering. Whilst this treatment is being pursued, the horses ought to be allowed rest : with those who cannot be indulged w ith,that boon, greater length of time must of necessity elapse before recovery can be anticipated.—Old Sporting Magazine for January.

In consequence of the continued accounts, brought by the recent arrivals, of a large crop in the United States, together with the probability of an increased supply from India, a marked decline in price has been experienced this week, American descriptions have receded id to id, Brazil id, and Egyptian id to id lb. At the public sales of Surat to-day, when 7500 bales were offered, the greater part of good quality, there was a fair attendance, but only about 470 bales were sold, at a decline of id to id tb upon the prices previously current. 2500 American and 100 Surat have been taken for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JAN. 18. During the last seven days we have received upwards of 9400 qrs. of Wheat coastwise, principally free foreign, from London. Of all articles of British produce the imports have been moderate. The arrivals from abroad comprise 8000 qrs. of Wheat, 730 qrs. of Oats, 3250 qrs. of Barley, 4300 qrs. of Beans, 2400 qrs. of Peas, and 27,850 Ms. of Fiour : the whole of the Flour, and about 4000 qrs. of the Wheat from the United States. Duties have been paid upon 1300 qrs. of Wheat, 1380 qrs. of Barley, 1850 qrs of Beans, 230 qrs. of Peas, and 500 brls. of Flour. Throughout the week the trade, generally, has continued to exhibit the same inactivity that we had occasion to note in our last report, and prices of all de scriptions of Wheat have again given way 2d to 3d per bushel. Odessa soft has been sold at lOs to lOs 3d, bard at 9s to 9s 3d ; lower Baltic red at les 64 to lOs 9d; and good Danzic at les 9d to Ils 6d; the American parcels have brought les 10(1 to 11s per 701bs. Irish new almost unsaleable. Free foreign Flour has latterly met less inquiry : 42s to 42s 64 per barrel the rates last paid for United States, of which a few thousand barrels have changed hands, in bond, at 29s tid per barrel. Oats must be quoted fully Id per bushel, and Oatmeal 6d to is per load, cheaper, and little business has been done in either. Barley has been bought on rather easier terms. Several parcels of foreign Beans have been pressed upon the market, and all descriptions are reduced in value fully 2s per quarter. Pease in little demand. CES CURRENT. MA DI/ER, 10, Cid. S. d. s. d.
