One thousand persons were each .mbled, and the result was no less satisfactory public than the noble lord the proprietor. There een some previous diversity of opinion as to the of freehold ground rents; in this sale the rever try expectancy was prolonged to 90 years, giving a sing, although a remote prospective view to those have families to provide for. The average price from 28 to 30 years' purchase, and where the ci- An was more than usually seductive, many cases ere they realised 50 years' purchase. — prices appeared to have been the result of rge Robins's declaration that Three per Cent. at 91 were at an unhealthy price--and though lust old enough to remember them at 474 — our learned friend of the rostrum, without -m them too much by the threatened with France, this is assuredly the time to escape i a doubtful security, where the principal may be materially reduced, to the positive certainty of And -rents, which, if influenced at all by another would rise rather than take a retrograde motion. 'n succession was the vacant ground of the noble mmencine; at his park on Highgate-hill, and at the vicinity of the Regent's Park. By of no ordinary tact, it was contrived to add ma ly to the value of the building-ground at High by means of complying with the wisl'es of Lord Seld, to sell him nearly 50 acres of the park jn to the lar kuction Ma erred wh ich adjoins his own fence ; this reduced the number acres, and consequently diriiiished the means to ;sess so many plots to build on as had been intend and formed a portion of the proposed auction.— e result was, not merely obtaining £5OO an acre rn Lord Mansfield, but it gave such an impetus to adjoining lots, from the knowledge they would still ye the beauteous park for their boundary, that the ,d adjoining in many instances averaged £l,OOO per .e. Another and a very important feature that in enced the prices from Haverstock-hill, arose from ling to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the morning of the second day's sale, 20 acres of Ld, which separated their property, and interfered Lterially with the grand plan in their contemplation v open to the public all the land from Primrose -Ito Chalk Farm. By this fortuitous arrangement ill enjoy one continued park, beautifully ,h ornamental grounds, and consequently -gat will now have a park for their neigh of never-ceasing houses, rose in value so s to double the amount per acre given by the ssioners. Our reporter, who attended at this hat interesting exhibition, gives the result of the t 120,000 guineas —this is necessarily independ f the two large sales made by Mr. Robins to I Mansfield and the Woods and Forests, which, it has been whispered, was 25,000 guineas in addition. iered the lots t STATE OF THE BRITISH NAVY (From the Horning Herald.)

The weather on the whole continuing propitious, the ope rations of harvest are now going on vigorously, and promise a better result than the early reports of last week premised; which, combined with the depression in Mark-lane yester day, caused a very dull sale this morning for all descriptions of free Wheat, at a further decline from the reduced terms of Friday, and placing our quotations 3d. to 4d. per 70 lb. under the currency of this day se'nnight. In bonded Wheat and Flour a few more transactions have occurred since the close of the week, and under the impres sion of still lower duties both nearly retain our last quota tions. Free Flour, on the contrary, was ls. to 2s. per barrel cheaper to-day, and moved off rather sparingly at this abate ment.

I 28s LONDON CORN EXCHANGE-YESTERDAY The intelligence respecting the weather and the progress of the harvest, which we have this morning received from our correspondents in various parts of the country, is of a ►r►ore satisfactory nature than the accounts which reached us towards the close of last week, and most of the markets held on Friday and Saturday, although scantily supplied with Wheat, are reported as having been much duller than those held during the late stormy and unsettled weather in the be ginning of the week. There was only a moderate supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, at this morning's market, and scarcely a single quarter offering from more remote counties. The greater part of the Wheat on sale was new, and in conse quence of the showery weather last week, the condition was much affected, and sales of such progressed slowly at a de cline of from 2s to 3s per qr. The demand for foreign Wheat was inactive, and last week's prices were with difficulty sup ported. Flour sold slowly at our quotations. In Barley there was little doing, and prices remain without alteration. The arrivals of Oats continue small, and fine fresh qualities fully supported previous rates. Beans were in slow demand, and former prices were with difficulty maintained. We had a fair supply of Peas, and that article must be quoted is to 2s per quarter cheaper.

Felix M'Quilliam, a young man of squalid and distressed appearance, and evidently in a bad state of health, was placed before Messrs. Rushton and Roskell, on Saturday, for hav ing solicited alms at several houses in Pembroke-place. The police-officer on that district stated, that, having seen the prisoner thus offending against the law, he took him into custody. The officer produced a number of papers which he found in the prisoner's possession. These were principally certificates of the distressed state of the prisoner and his family, and begging petitions. One of them was a certificate in the following terms, purported to have been written by the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the signature, and the body of the note, being all in the same handwriting t—" I believe the bearer, M'Quilliam, to be a proper person and deserving ob ject of charity : he has been recommended to me by Miss Ward, 4, Pembroke-place, who has visited him. I have also made further inquiry, which has been satisfactory. He has been afflicted with paralysis, and is totally unable to work at his business. He is a land-surveyor, and has a wife and three children in great distress.—August 13, 1840.—Rev. Hugh M'Neile, St. Jude's Church, Liverpool." There was also a certificate in the same hand, signed " Hugh M'Neile," that " Ann Nl' Williams" and her husband Felix had placed two of their children, through him, in the Church of England School, on 17th May last. Another of the documents was signed "J. Roose, Bedford-street." It set forth, that Felix M'Quilliam was a fit object for charity, aad that he was a land-surveyor, and afflicted with paralysis. Another note, signed Felix Nl` Quilliam , written in a good hand, was address ed " Madam," but there was no name or superscription, so that it might serve to send in to any lady. The charitable disposition of the party for whom it was intended was highly lauded, and the petitioner indicated his want of .C 2. 15s. 6d. to release his goods from pledge, upon compassing which he stated his intention of taking his family to Scotland. A simi lar note, merely soliciting alms, without any superscription or address, commenced " Rev. sir." A more formal and ge neral petition, setting forth the distress of the memorialist, had at the foot the following names :—Mrs. Radley 108., Lord Derby £l. 10s. ' Rev, Hugh M'Neile £l. ss. There was also a memo r ial addressed " To his Grace the Earl of Sefton," stating the distress of the writer and his family, and soliciting relief. At the foot of this were the same names as above, but opposite to the words " Lord Derby," instead of 1:1. 10s., only #3. appeared. The remaining document was a lottery ticket for a sixteenth share, dated 1798, and signed by Mr. Bish, formerly of great notoriety. The offi cer sa id he had called upon Mrs. Radley that morning, and she knew nothing of the prisoner, nor had she given him any money. I - 1c had called upon Mr. M'Neile and Miss Ward, but they were neither of them at home. Mr. Rushton (to the pri soner): "What have you to say, sir?" Prisoner : "IsiOthing." Mr. Rushton : "This is a forged signature." Prisoner : "No, sir, it is not." Mr. Rushton : " You don't mean to represent this as the signature of Lord Derby, because I k now t h at it is not?" Pr isoner : " No, I don't say that it is Lord Derby's s i gna ture." Mr. Parkin son, in re p l y to a q uesti on from Mr. Rushton, said the prisoner was not known. Mr. Rushton ordered that he should be committed to the House of Correc tion for a month. At the Polytechnic Institution, Regent-street, London, there is exhibited one pound of glass, spun by steam into a thread 4000 miles long, and woven with silk into beautiful dresses and tapestry.

Oats . Rye.. POLITICAL CHARACTERS (From the Oxford Herald.) THE EARL OF ABERDEEN " Want you a man Experienced in the world and its affairs ? Here he is for your purpose." - - Poor England ! The time is not far distant when thou avast the proudest and the mightiest of nations ; but alas ! how much art thou fallen. A few short years only have passed away since thy fame extended to the remotest corners of the earth—since thy armies conquered on the land and thy navies swept the seas—since thy statesmen were men of the sincerest patriotism, the most splendid ability, the most va lued experience, men who lived for thy glory alone, whose every thought was of thy welfare and thy renown, and whose exertions made thee the mistress of the world. But now thou art a fallen and a falling nation. True it is that thou mightest raise an army equal to that of which Wellington was the head, and send to sea a fleet not inferior to that which Nelson commanded : but there can be little hope for thee so long as thy mighty destinies are controlled by such men as those that now occupy thy cabinet. To them it is owing that thou bast " fallen, fallen, fallen—fallen from thine high estate ;" and so long as thou art cursed with them so long wilt thou be a falling nation. Day after day fresh indignities will be heaped upon thee, day after day will the assaults of thy enemies become bolder and bolder, and daily and hourly wilt thou be less able to resist them, until at length thou wilt be completely crushed, and thy name will be blotted out from the nations of the earth, or will exist only as an empty momento of thy former greatness. Alas ! then, poor England : one's heart inay well ache for thee. But whilst mourning the present melancholy state of our beloved country, let us not fail to give vent to our indignation against those men by whom She has been placed in the woful condition in which she now stands. Tremendous is the responsibility which the Melbourne cabinet has incurred ; for to its wicked policy is to be ascribed the lamentable posi tion of the country at this moment, and the many fearful dangers with which she is surrounded; from neither of which does there seem to be any chance of escape. Overwhelm ingly great, however, as the responsibility of the ministers undoubtedly is, it must be borne in mind that they are not the only accountable parties.. No ; let it not be forgotten that it was one branch of the legislature, and one branch only, (the House of Commons) that appointed Lord Mel bourne and his colleagues to office. The House of Commons not only persisted in driving those men into office. in spite of their notorious incompetency, and in direct opposition to the will of the monarch and in known hostility to the House of Lords, but persisted in keeping them in place. notwith standing the oft declared opinion of the country that they ought to be kicked out with ignominy. In so doing the House of Commons failed to discharge its bounden duty to the country ; and therefore any responsibility which the present ministers may incur for their gross misma nagement of 'public affairs must be shared by the lower branch of the legislature. Yes, the day of reckoning is fast drawing near, when the Melbourne Cabinet will have to ren der an account of its stewardship, and alas for England ! what a fearful account that will be. The day, too, is not distant on which the House of Commons must give a like account—nay, that account will be ten times snore serious, more weighty, more difficult to render. Such is the consti tution of our country that, in fact and in truth, though not perhaps nominally, the House of Commons appoints the ministers of the crown. What then can the house say in its defence for forcing into office such men as Lord Melbourne and his set of any and every-thingarians ? What can it say to the country for keeping them in place, even after they had acknowledged their inability to keep it—their unfitness to occupy it ? The house cannot say that it was because better men were not to be found. Look at Peel, and Stanley, and Graham, and Lyndhurst ; look at Wellington : look at the nobleman whose name we have placed at the head of this article : look, for look you may, at scores of others almost as good as ikcy. Yet none of those men have any share in the government of this great and mighty kingdom ! Every one of those men is possessed of the highest character, the sin cerest patriotism, the most distinguished ability; every one is deeply solicitous for the honour and glory and the best welfare of England ; and every one, each in his own depart ment, is peculiarly qualified to add to her well being, to pre serve her name unsullied and her honour untarnished. But in accordance with the bidding of a faction united only for wrong, a gay and a lascivious Melbourne usurps the place that belongs of wright to a wise and cautious Peel ; a Rus sell sits in the seat that belongs to a Stanley ; a Normanby pushes a Graham from his stool ; whilst an old, broken down, worn out, battered dandy—a bedaubed, rouged, be decked, and brainless block, one Palmerston, or (as Lady Buiwer appropriately christens him in her clever novel, " Chieveley,") " Lord Protocol"—whilst this man reigns triumphant at the Foreign Office, Lord Aberdeen, a noble man of the highest intellect and the purest worth, is left un employed in the service of his country. Oh ! will not the vengeance of the people of this kingdom fall heavily on the faction through whom such a state of things has been brought about! Yes, yes, it will, it will, for we cannot believe that the great, the noble minded British people will see " their own, their native land" falling to ruin and decay through the machinations of a set of ruthless adventurers. Like a giant refreshed with wine we shall see our countrymen arise and demand " justice for England"—the instant and ignomi nious dismissal of the Melbourne cabinet, and perchance the punishment of some of its most ruthless members ; and the dissolution of the present House of Commons. When this shall have come to pass, the star of Britain will once more be in the ascendant, but until then we must mourn for her as a fallen and a falling nation. No nobleman or gentleman can expect that his estate will be improved, his rents increased, and his tenants made con tented and happy if he singles out as his agent a man ignorant of the management of land, dishonest, and proud, and over bearing to those with whom he comes in contact. No trades man can expect his business to prosper if those to whom he deputes the control of it are untrustworthy and ignorant, idle and dissolute. Nor can any empire expect to prosper, to in crease in wealth and territory, in civilisation and learning, if the men at the head of her government are deficient of every statesmanlike qualification, reckless of everything ex cept their own personal aggrandisement, caring not whether their country be ruined so that they keep in possession of place and pay. Accordingly we find that when men are choosing their servants they invariably select the best they can find. But why, we ask, does not the House of Com mons, when choosing a certain set of men for Ministers of the Crown, act on the same principle? This is a question which must be answered sooner or later. Let the House of Commons look to it. Had the men best qualified to' navigate the vessel of state been chosen, we should have seen the Earl of Aberdeen filling a place of no mean authority. And truly he would have well deserved it. To adapt a celebrated phrase of Burke's to our present purpose, we may say that my Lord Aberdeen " was nursed and dandled into statesmanship." He was placed, we believe, at an early period of life under the care of one of the greatest statesmen of Europe, Prince Metternich, and was by him carefully instructed in the difficult art of govern ment. Nor has he failed to do honour to his distinguished preceptor, as his official career in this country sufficiently proves. Lord Aberdeen is a man of a very high order of talent, carefully disciplined ' • he possesses great experience and business-like h a bit s . H e is in short as fine a specimen of an English statesman as any man living. He seems to carry his object with a straightforward honesty of purpose, without trick, without chicanery, without display. To the the redoubtable " Lord Protocol" he is a direct contrast in every point, great as well as small. The one is an egregious dandy, the other is remarkably simple in his dress; the one lounges through the routine business of his office and votes it " a bore," the other discharges it with alacrity, and considers it a pleasure ; the one blusters and splut ters where he can do so with safety, and cringes and fawns where he dare not brag, the other acts in every case in the upright, honest manner in which every man controlling any department of the British government ought to act; the one is duped and cheated by those more cunning than himself, whilst the other is always careful and cautious, and cannot therefore be deceived ; the one grossly and wantonly insults a nation which ought to be one of our closest allies, and thereby plunges his country into war, the other does as he would be done unto, and preserves to his country the manifold blessings of peace ; the one allows the English flag to be disgraced with impunity, the other insists upon immediate redress for every wrong ; the one makes the very name of England a by-word, a scorn, and a reproach, in every country, whilst the other makes it feared and respected in the uttermost ends of the world. The one in short is a mere pretender to statesmanship and a professor of patriotism, the other is a great statesman and an unflinching patriot ; the one seeks office for the benefit of himself, the other for the advantage of his country. Such is Lord Palmerston ;—such is Lord Aberdeen. Need we ask you, reader, which of these two men ought to be in Downing street—which of them ought to be at the head of the Foreign Office ? We need not pause for a reply, for there can be no doubt of the answer you will give. When, then, we see the battered " Protocol" basking in the sweets of office, and the Earl of Aberdeen placed in a position where comparatively he can be of little assistance to his country, are we not justi fied in lamenting the probable fate of England, and of de scribing her as " a falling nation ?" Are we not right in de nouncing the House of Commons for allowing such a state of things to exist? But we must draw to a close. As we have already inti mated, Lord Aberdeen dresses with great simplicity ; he is tall and somewhat stoutly built, and is of a staid and sober appearance. He has, to use the quaint words of an old writer, " a comely countenance, replenished with gravity." As a speaker, he is always listened to with great attention ; he delivers his sentiments with ease and fluency, and is a good and practised debater. He is very quick in discovering omissions, mistakes, and inconsistencies in the speeches of his opponents. He does not stop to dress his opinions in the gaudy tinsel of rhetoric, but puts them before his auditors in a plain, becoming garb ; but there is nothing slovenly in his addresses. He does not much gesticulate when speaking, but generally stands with his hat before him in one hand and the other hand folded over it. And now we pray in sincerity of heart that the seals of the Foreign department may be confided once again to the Earl of Aberdeen, for in better hands than his they could not possibly be placed. A.

NEW MUSKET FOR THE BRITISH ARMY.—About four weeks ago the Master General of the Ordnance, Sir Hussey Vivian, issued instructions that two inush:ts, on an entirely new principle, which had been submitted t -) him by a London manufacturer, should have a fair trial. The muskets were accordingly forwarded to Woolwich and placed in the charge of an intelligent corporal, with orders that 1000 rounds of ball-cartidges should be fired from each, for the purpose of testing their capabilities and ascertaining their good or bad qualities. The corporal selected two expe-ieuced gunners, and the men have attended every day at the butt in the Royal Arsenal to practise with them. Upwards of 800 rounds have been fired from each of the muskets, and the ease, ra pidity, and precision with which they can be used has afforded the greater satisfaction, and even surprise, on ac, count of the simplicity of their construction. The barrel of this musket is of the same length and thickness as those used by the soldiers of the line at present, the only differ= etice is, that the touchhole, instead of being placed at the side, is m der the stock, immediately in front of the trigger, which is secured from the possibility of discharging the mus ket by accident, even under the most careless circumstances. Instead of flints percussion caps are used, and the force necessary to ignite them is effected by a steel spring, about seven inches in length , and k r reception, iis muh w ever get out of order. 0 win s tic o stoimtphlee teleiantstirtnectainensceafrctehlye e e a weake d ned by having to cut out a portiono screws are required to fix the various parts to each other and locks of the present muskets, the for s t r ie c i • required, and there is no cutting five screws only are to the barrel.

TURKISH COURT OF LAW.-A PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES As we were walking one day in the bazaars a singular in cident occurred. We were just issuing from a shop under the arched way leading to one of the khans, when a young Greek, who had been observing us for a few minutes, stepped forward and stood in our path. His appearance and action showed that he wished to attract our notice, and John im mediately asked what he wanted. He replied by demanding the payment of a sum due to him from John, my attendant, saying that the latter had long escaped his notice by having assumed the new costume of the Sultan in place of the Ar menian dress which he formerly wore. John was, at first, somewhat disturbed by the charge, but promptly denied the debt, and demanded how much the Greek supposed it to be. " Ten piastres," was the reply. Upon this there followed a loud war of words. John asseverated his innocence; and the Greek persisted in the charge. He followed us as we pursued our way, now and then plucking the Armenian by the coat, and vociferating his accusation in the hearing of the multitude who thronged the bazaar. The latter at last lost all patience, and began to show an intention of proving his innocence with his fists. Unwilling to see him involved in a fray that might lead to consequences prejudicial to my own interests as well as to himself, I took him aside, and re monstrated against his denying the debt, if he had really in curred it, offering myself, in that case, to discharge it. He persisted, however, in his denial, and declared that he had never so much as seen his accuser before. As I had already had strong proofs of his integrity, I began to suspect that the whole charge might be a fabrication, and advised him, if he could do no better, to carry the matter before the proper au thorities. Immediately he turned to the Greek, and called upon bins to follow. We proceeded together to the Eski Scrai, (Old Palace,) the quarters of the Serasker Pasha, pamti between the sentinels stationed at the gate, crossed the spacious court, and entered a small room. The parties advanced and stood in the mid dle of the apartment, while I remained at the door to watch the progress of the trial. A middle-aged Effendi was seated opposite. The Greek, with a low selam, opened his corn -I,lt.int, but great was my astonishment when I heard him charge John with a debt of seven times the amount that he had alleged in the bazar. The Effendi turned to the Arme nian and asked him if he acknowledged the debt. Upon his replying in the negative the judge told them that they must go to the mehkemeh. or Kadi's Court, and immediately or dered a servant to attend them. So good an opportunity of seeing the interior of a Turkish court of justice could not be suffered to pass unimproved. I determined, therefore, to follow. _ _ We reached at length a low, red, wooden building, in style and appearance like a Turkish house. The servant conduct ed us up a flight of stairs into the presence of an inferior offi cer, who has the first cognizance of such cases. The same process was repeated here as at the palace, excepting that the officer ordered a scribe to make a record of the case. We were then conductid to the door of another apartment, be fore which hung a heavy curtain of coarse cloth. The ser vant raised the curtain and told us to enter. Thinking that my evidence might be of service to prove the contradiction in the words of the Greek, I entered and remained in the middle of the floor with the parties. The room was a small one, and without any other furniture than an ordinary Turk ish sofa opposite the door. In one corner of this sofa sat a short and stout personage somewhat inclining to corpulency. At the moment of our entrance he was munching a head of lettuce. We were in the presence of the Kadi, the ordinary distributor of justice in Turkish cities, but one educated in the medresseh, and learned in the law. The same questions as before were asked and answered. Both parties seemed in great awe of the superior presence in which they now stood, and spoke with greater moderation than before. When the Kadi observed the contradiction is their words, he ordered a servant who stood near the door with his hands folded before him, to bring a book that lay upon a small shelf in the corner of the apartment. Upon this, an old and well-worn volume was put in the hands of the accuser, who, holding it before him, pronounced, in Turkish, these words ; "By God, this man owes me money." John immediately took the hook and said, " By God, I do not owe him money." The judge then demanded of the accuser, " Where are your witnesses ? " The Greek replied that he had friends who would bear testimony to the debt, but wished for some time that he might find them. " Then," said the Kadi, "go away and return to-morrow," and calling the attendant, he required him to see that the defendant found security for his appearance. The plaintiff and defendant made a low obeisance, of which the Kadi took no notice. I knew, from the position which I occupied, standing in the middle of the floor, that my own r es pe c ts would be received with no higher deference, and I thereforespared them. Before I had turned my back the Kadi was engaged withhis lettuce again. John was able to secure the assent of his brother, a re spectable jeweller of the city, to stand responsible for his re-appearance on the morrow, and we were permitted to proceed upon our business. The kavass, or servant who acted as constable in the case, had offered to settle the affair for a competent present ; but I advised John, if he were truly innocent, to maintain it before the Kadi, and he was a man of too much spirit to do otherwise. Those who have an insight into life at Constantinople know iomething of the incessant intrigues and lesser rogueries which the love of money and of power, and sometimes baser passions, are pursuing among the myriads of its population. A foreigner may spend his life in the city without becoming conversant with them. It is one, however, among the best known of the secrets of the capital, that there are among the Mussulmans themselves professional false-witnesses, whose places of resort are known, and who are always to be found ready to be used as evidences to any thing that their em ployer may direct them to say. The fact is familiar to every Mussulman in the city, and is no where better known than in the mehkemehs, where these professional characters are recognised by their frequent appearance. The profession, however, is an easy one in a country where, in civil cases, justice is administered in the most summary manner—where there are no lawyers to cross-examine, and but slight penal safeguards against perjury. John imagined that Iheservices of some of these characters might be put into requisition in the present instance, and as the Greek had left the mehkemeh to go in search of his wit nesses, we thought it best to look into some of the haunts of men of this sort. The result was, that in passing a range of cafes notorious as the harbouring places of such characters, we found the Greek i►► earnest conversation with a Mussul man. 'We did not disturb the conference farther than to make the former aware of our presence. The confusion which the sight . of ; us created strengthened my conviction that the whole was a piece of imposition. The issue of the busi ness served only to confirm it. The next day the father of the Greek sent for John, made ample apology for his son's mistake, and proposed to settle the matter by each one's making a small present to the kavass. The Kadi, probably, amidst the multiplicity of such cases daily presented before him, never again thought of the trifling question between the Armenian and the Greek. — Southgate's Travels in Turkey and Persia. The cruel attack which Mr. Grantley Berkeley, M.P.' made on Mr. Fraser, the London publisher, (which was fol lowed by a duel with Dr. Maginn,) in consequence of a re view of the tale " Berkeley Castle," which Mr. Berkeley considered to be an unwarrantable attack on his family's fair fame, must be in the remembrance of every one. This pro ceeding of the hon. member has been resented by the classes to which Dr. Maginn and Mr. Fraser belong ; and scarcely a notice of his last novel, " Sandron Hall," has appeared in any publication in town or cfnintry, whether review, maga zine, newspaper, or literary journal ! This may be called barking Mr. Berkeley s aspirations to authorship. A. Manchester correspondent thus facetiously alludes to a fair weather report circulated in that town on Monday last It was rumoured about the town that the sun was seen yesterday about ten o'clock, but up to the present moment all attempts to discover the person who was blessed with the sight have proved ineffectual. It was traced to a draper, but he had gained the information from a factory lad, a pale faced son of the soil, who on being questioned, vowed it was a mis take, he only having heard, of, not seen, the glorious orb of day. Several little boys played truant on the strength of the report, but as a matter of course, were chastised, there being no excuse for their rashness."—Hereford Times. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—We have just been given to understand that the opening of the line to Bath is de finitively fixed for Monday, the 31st of August. Several ex perimental trips have been made during the last few days, in all cases attended with a successful result. On Thursday one of the engines went at a speed of CO miles an hour, or a mile per minute. On Tuesday the Meridian and tender did the distance from Saltford, through Keynsham, to the en trance of No. 3 tunnel, nearly four miles, in the incredibly short period of three minutes. On Friday a powerful loco motive drew the enormous weight of 24 waggons, loaded with gravel, for the ballasting of the line. The skew bridge at Bath will be completed in a very few days, and the elegant station at that place will also be ready by the end of next week. All doubts are now removed as to the time for open ing, as this part of the works was that which caused the prin cipal delay. The progress of the works at the Bristol ter minus is very satisfactory, and progresses as rapidly as pos sible.—Bristol Standard. IMPROVED HANDICAPPING.—A correspondent of the Post suggests that the Goodwood Stakes should be divided into two classes—the division being left entirely under the control of the handicappers, who might then literally class the horses. Is it not, he ccntinues, absurd to see a four year-old give horses of his year three stone, and after the race discover that six stone might have been given ? Look at the Hetman and Forlorn Hope, the Hetman and Pluto ; look at Fitzambo, Wings, Auburn, and such like. No . weight at all could make a race between them, and race-horses ; at the same time put these forty or fifty wretches in a class by themselves, and it would be as fine a sight as Lanercost, Het man, Charles the Twelfth, and Beggarman for the Goodwood Cup. There would be upwards of thirty acceptances to each class, perhaps forty, and quite as large a field as on the late occasion, and the stakes would he still worth £7OO or £BOO each—enough in all conscience. I would adopt the same regulation at Warwick, and everywhere else, when there might be 100 subscribers. - ONE STORY GOOD TILL ANOTHER IS TOLD.—A gentle man of considerable magnifying powers was relating in com pany how a military friend of his, having his left cheek sliced off by a sabre-cut at the battle of Waterloo, had coolly picked up, replaced, and bandaged with his handker chief the stray segment, which after a few days was recon ciled to its parent face ; that is to say the cheek was cured by inosculation, as it is termed. After this " good thing" had passed current, with the addition, of course, of a few obvious comments from the wags of the company, as to the right cheek having been for the moment the left one, &c., an old gentleman quickly took the lead, and observed that a far more remarkable occurrence had happened to a friend of his, a cavalry officer, at the same battle, and who, failing to parry a cut aimed at his face, had his nose clean shaven off. " Thereupon," continued the elderly narrator, "my friend stooped and repossessed himself of the deficient fea. ture, which he clapped on his face, bound it with his hand kerchief, and then went pugnaciously on, as if nothing had happened. In the sequel, he found the nose firmly united to his face—with this irregularity, however, that it was re versed or turned upside down, owing to the haste with which he had put it on again. This circumstance did not much disturb him, for being a great snuff-taker, he was thus en abled to apply the powder to his nostrils without the usual waste—but one consequence of the change he would some times complain of, as rather inconvenient, namely, that whenever he wanted to blow his nose, he was obliged to stand on his head." INFAMOUS IMPUTATION UPON THE JEWS.—A Vienna correspondent of the Debats gives the subjoined account of an infamous imputation upon the Jews, similar to the affair at Damascus, which has been lately made at Lemberg, in Austrian Galicia :—" A young woman, who had lived as nurserymaid in the family of a wealthy Jew named Lumber ger,-at Tarnon, went to Lemberg, and made a declaration before the magistrates that she had been kept by her master in close confinement for three weeks, during which time she WAS bled every other day by a Jewish surgeon, and her blood used in making unleavened bread. A police-officer was sent to arrest M. Lumberger, but, knowing the excellent charac ter of the accused, he took the precaution of securing also the denouncer. When the accusation came to be investi. gated, it was proved that the girl having one day, while out on her master's service, received a wound in the head with a stone, which fell upon her from a house which was building, her master and mistress, instead of sending her to an hospital, had her taken care of in their house, treating her as if she had been their own child, calling in a catholic physician, who bled her twice, but no more, as absolutely necessary to save her life. The servants of the family swore that when she left her place she went down on her knees to M. and Madame Lumberger to thank them. The ungrateful girl on being closely interrogated confessed the falsehood of her de nunciation, and declared that she had been overcome by the persuasions of her lover, who had an implacable hatred against all Jews." • &bipping Katelligenre.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 22 The week's arrivals of British Grain, &c. are light. The chief arrivals from abroad are 5,140 quarters of Wheat and 17,900 barrels of Flour, 12,820 barrels of the latter from the United States and 5,080 barrels from Canada. Duties have been paid upon 464 quarters of Oats, 3,820 quarters of Beans, 397 quarters of Peas, and 45g barrels of Flour. The alteration in the rates of impost are 40 per quarter less on Wheat, Is 6d per quarter less on Oats, 2s 5d less on Flour and is 6d per quarter more on Barley, the respective rates 63 80 and 3s 3d per quarter, 4s per barrel, and 12s 40 per quarter. The wet, stormy weather experienced in the beginning of the week caused considerable excitement in our Grain market, on Tuesday, and a large business was done in Wheat and Flour, the better qualities of the former realizing 2d to 3d and inferior descriptions of Foreign 4d to 6d per bushel over previous rates. Flour, also, has brought fully is per quarter advance. Oats and Oatmeal still move slowly, without change in value. The transac tions in bond embrace several parcels of Wheat at prices ranging from 7s 3d to 9s 3d per barrel, and a little Flour at 32s per barrel. The weather has since been favourable for harvest operations, and, with this change, we have had less disposition to business. At yesterday's market the sale of free Wheat was limited at 10 to 20 per bushel below Tuesday's currency. Duty-paid Flour was also rather cheaper. Other articles of the trade nominally unaltered. About 2,000 barrels of Flour changed hands, iu bond, at 32s per barrel.
