pottrp. THE OLD GREY MARE. LITERARY NOTICES. Painter. W. E. Painter. and Moore. of England. London : James Burns. W. E. Painter. htirspit pzitt t ,c _ 4 a 10 V 700d4:1 I i By J. H. R. Bayley. Some dozen long years had this famous old tit Been grazing in meadows and champing the bit ; And used as a roadster or rid in the chase, She still went along at a famous old pace. She had had from a colt but one master to please, And had carried him well and yet done it with ease ; And never was known in her life-time to slack, When her daring old rider was on her old back. To market she'd fly like a bounding young hind, And leave half the nags of the village behind ; Thro' rain or thro' sunshine, thro' fire or thro' flood — Not mattered a jot to this " old bit of blood." At times her old rider would sleep on his way, Worn out with the heat and fatigue of the day ; And then, oh ! how gently she'd bear his old weight, And neigh when she came to the old fold-yard gate. Should a crack pack of hounds 'chance come opening by, She'd prick up her ears at the merry old cry ; And 'twas no wondrous thing for this Mettlesome elf, When loose in the fields to go hunting herself. No fence was so high but she over it leapt-- No thicket so bushy but through it she crept — Nor wall, hurdle, quickset, nor any such check, But she ventured to clear it or break her old neck. She was known to be one of the best of old sorts By the veteran lovers of " old English sports ;" And when breaking from cover, would echo the shout— " Hark forward ! hie over ! the old grey is out !" But Time, that destroyer of all that is rare, Hath stiffened the limbs of the bonnie grey mare ; And the spot is but known by an Ad heap of stones, Where rest now for ever her angled old bones. Her hardy old owner is yet living on, And since she dropped off t hath crossed many an one •• But never will have it that ought can compare With the speed and the pluck of " the old grey mare." The Churchman. April and May, 1849. London :W. E These numbers of this truly excellent and orthodox ma gazine contain several articles which possess a very high de gree of merit, and which cannot fail to elevate its character, as a medium for conveying religious and ecclesiastical intel ligence, in accordance with the pripciples of the Established Church. In the number for April there is an admirable practical comment on the words ",Every man shall bear his own burden." The continuation of the article on " The Trinity" will prove a useful antidote to the poison of Soci nianism. The " Observations on Bishop Burnett's Cha-- racter of Cardinal Wolsey" are replete with valuable histori cal information. We have been greatly pleased with the perusal or the paper on " The Blessings of the Church." The " Sketch of the Doctrine and Discipline of the Greek Church in Russia" contains many highly-interesting, pas sages. In the May number there is an excellent article on " The Detraction of Ministers," which, we trust, will effect much good. We greatly approve of the 'lake of " Conti nental Literature." It displays considerable critical acumen. The correspondence, poetry, reviews, ecclesiastical intelli gence, and miscellanea, in the Churchman, indicate the pre sidence of a gentleman of sound judgment over the editorial department. This periodical well deserves the support of every member of the Church of England. The Village Churchman. April and May, 1840. London : We know of few publications that we can more safely recom mend for circulation among the humbler members of the Esta blished Church than the one before us. Its original articles and its selections are alike entitled to our highest praise. The doctrinal str.tements which it puts foith are in Strict ac cordance with the articles, homilies, and public formularies of the Church. Among the more prominent papers in the numbers before us we would particularly mention " The Pious Churchman's Sunday"—" Hints on Popery"—" The Village Churchman's Sabbath Meditations"—" Popular Mistakes respecting the Church -of England ",--" A Word on these hard Times," and the notices of " The Church of England Societies." The Church Magazine. April, 1840. London : Hayward It is highly gratifying to witness the press, metropolitan and provincial, teeming with so many publications in defence of our venerable church, and calculated to edify and instruct all classes of its members. Among these the Chureh Maga zine occupies a prominent position. We regret that we have occasionall been compelled to find fault with its intemperate language, and the obvious leaning in some of its articles, towards the errors of Puseirism. The number before us contains an excellent memoir (accompanied by a well-en graved portrait) of Dr. Molesworth, the present highly es teemed Vicar of Rochdale. The article on " Popery against the Catholic Church of England" is very seasonably intro duced. "What is the Church ?" is the title of a sermon, which, from a cursory perusal, appears to embody sound scriptural views on the subject. There is much useful mis cellaneous intelligence in this magazine. The Ministry of Reconciliation. A Sermon, preached in the Chapel of Farnham Castle, at the General Ordination held by the Bishop of Winchester, December 15, 1839.__8y Archdeacon Wilberforce. Loudon : James Burns. 1840 This is a masterly sermon, delineating, in vivid and elo quent terms, the nature and functions of the Christian mi nistry. It ought to be in the hands of every clergyman. We particularly recommend it to the notice of all candidates for °ruination. Presbyterian Rights Asserted. By a Presbyter of the Church This pamphlet is written in a temperate and conciliatory spirit. The subject is one of great importance, respecting which, however, very general ignorance prevails, viz.,—the real position in the church of the secondorder in the ministry —their duties and obligations to the first order of the ministry, on the one hand, and their own rights and privileges, on the other. A Letter to the Right Hon. Henry Lord Brougham, on the Government Plan of Education. By Samuel Wilber force, M.A., Archdeacon of Surrey. London : James Burns. 1840. We are glad to find that this excellent Letter has reached a second edition. The venerable author has rendered an essential service to his country by the publication of his sentiments on this important subject. He has spoken out boldly for the Church, and sholn ample reasons for rescind ing the obnoxious education resolutiou. In the hands of Archdeacon Wilberforce such men as Lords Brougham and Lansdowne are like infants in the grasp of a giant. The Crook in the Lot ; or, the Sovereignty and Wisdom of God in the Afflictions of Men. By the Rev. Thomas Boston. Edinburgh : Adam and Charles Black. This invaluable work forms one of the series of republi cations under the general title of " Christian Literature," which the spirited publishers have recently undertaken. " The Crook in the Lot" is a work too well known in the religious world to need any recommendation from our feeble pen. It has afforded rich consolation to many sorrowing christians on their pilgrimage through this " vale of tears." The Life and Times of Martin Luther. Bristol. Philp and Evans ; London : John Green, 1840. This constitutes the fifth number of a series of works, under the title of " Standard American Literature." We have not received any of the preceding parts. From the specimen before us we should predict that this series will become very popular: We understand that the first num ber has already reached a second edition. " The Life and Times of Martin Luther" is written in an attractive collo quial style, and will be perused with considerable interest. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. No. 25, Edin burgh : Blackwood and Sons ; London : Cadell. This great national work is proceeding in a Wanner which fully justifies all the praises which we have felt it to be our duty to bestow upon the preceding parts. The present part contains a beautifully engraved and coloured map of. Aber deenshire, and a copious account of the following parishes : Aberdeen, Petercalter, Kinellar, Dyce, Udny, Old Deer, Fintray, New Deer, St. Fergus, Lonmay, Newhills, Belhel vie, Frazerburg, Aberdour, King Edward, and Auchterless. The statistical details in this work are invaluable. They have evidently been compiled with great care. Every Scots man, who can afford it, ought to place this account of his native country on his library shelves, were it only on account of the benevolent object to which the profits resulting from its publication are devoted—the support of the sons and daughters of the clergy. Parliamentary Speeches. Session 1840. Part I. London Mr. Painter deserves the thanks of his countrymen for thus placing before them, in a cheap and accessible form, corrected editions of the principal speeches of the great con servative leaders. The first part of this series of publications contains the speeches of Sir. James Graham, Lord Stanley, and Sir Robert Peel, on the " Vote of Confidence" motion. Of the merits of these speeches it would be quite superfluous for us to add another word, further than that they are worthy of the exalted statesmen whose names we have mentioned. Every tree conservative ought to purchase th ese speec h es, to hand down as an heir - loom to his children. A general Outline of the United Kingdom, and Manual of Comparative Anatomy. Part 9. By Thomas Rymer Jones. London : John Van Voorst. 1840. Mr. Rymer Jones's celebrity as a writer and lecturer on natural history is alone sufficient to procure for this manual an extensive circulation. Of its intrinsic merits we have already recorded our opinion on sevqral occasions. The pre sent number continues the subject of the Conehifera. This is followed by an elaborate description of the Gasteropoda, the Pteropoda, and the Cephalopoda. Wilson's Historical, Traditionary, and Imaginative Tales of the Borders, and of Scotland. Part 71. Edinburgh : `John Sutherland. This is another capital number of these popular, interest ing, and instructive tales. Many of the narratives possess a very high degree of merit, and all of them are fax above mediocrity . Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon. By Harry Lorrequer. Illuustrated by " Phiz." Part I. Dublin : W. Curry, jun., and. Co. It Is po mean praise of this new serial publication to ay that it is worthy of the pen of Harry Lorrequer. The broad humour and exquisite descriptions with . which this number abounds justify us in prognosticating for Charles O'Malley a prosperous career. The illustrations are exceedingly well designed and executed. Juvenile Historical Library for Youth, Schools, and Families. Parts 111 and IV. Spain and Portugal. By Miss Corner. London : Dean and Munday. This work is exceedingly well got up, and must be pro nounced remarkably cheap. Each part is illustrated by splendid steel engravings. A map is also attached to the former of the two parts. How these, and nearly two hun dred pages of letter-press, can be afforded for two shillings, is really surprising. Miss Corner's style is lucid and fami-. liar. We know of few historical publications better adapted for schools and private families than the one before us. We hope that it will obtain an extensive circulation. Master Humphrey's Clock. By " Boz." Part I. London : Chapman and Hall ; Liverpool, Wareing Webb. This new work by " Boz" improves as it proceeds. Some of the episodical tales are highly interesting. As a whole, however, it is inferior to Pickwick. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX AND HIS MARRIAGE. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We gave in our last two articles—one from the Argus, the other from the Britannia—in reference to his Royal High ness the Duke of Sussex, and the children of his first mar riage. Subjoined we give an article, to which we attach great importance, coming, as it does, from a most influential and ably-conducted whig journal, one possessing the highest circulation of any evening paper in London advocating that line of politics—we mean the Sun. There are few occur rences, God knows, in these days, that make one connected with the public press—connected as it is—proud of his asso ciation or connexion with that engine. The present occasion forms a gratifying and an honourable exception ; for, when we find a journalist separating himself from his party in the assertion of truth and justice, we cannot but regard the man, while we are constrained to report the motive. In such a position stands the able and the honest editor of the Sun, and he has reflected credit upon himself and the paper over which he presides—for that he has, regardless of all associations and consequences, had the moral courage to advocate the cause of the injured and oppressed, in the persons of Augus tus of Este and his sister. It is a gratifying, it is a delight ful thing to find, that, in the dreary waste of politics, over which we editors are doomed to traverse, we may sometimes light upon a spot where, like the smoking grounds of the North American Indians, all differences are forgotten, and all bitterness is eschewed—no matter what may have been the occasion, or how long may have been the continuance of former feud. Upon such a spot the Sun and the Mail now find themselves placed in harmony and peace, labouring in the same cause, that of truth—advocating the same measure, that of JUSTICE. _ _ _ The " case" of the children of the Duke's first marriage— which it was our good fortune and privilege to bring fully and fairly before the public for the first time—has, we know, pro duced an immense sensation in England—not only amongst the nobility, who are more immediately concerned in all questions relating to the status and position of every member of the Royal Family, but amongst the middle and lower or ders of society, who are, constitutionally, haters of tyranny, and, by habit, lovers of fair play. Indeed we should say that the time was come for Sir Augustus of Este to reassume his distinctions and honours as a prince of the blood royal.. It is true, a base and a profligate minister may combine with a heartless and unnatural parent in refusing to recognise him by that style and title to which his lawful birth in wedlock unquestionably give him claims; but he will be sustained by public opinion, and acknowledged for a " true prince" by the unanimous voice of a free people. The following is the article from the Sun : " To the effect of the important documents relative to the claims of Sir Augustus D'Este, which appears in another part of the Sun, it may almost seem superfluous in us to at tempt to add weight by any observations of our own. Those documents speak so plainly, tell the sad tale of the deeply injured individual to whom they refer so forcibly, that, inde pendently.of their legal character, they cannot fail to strike the heart and awaken the sympathies of every person whose heart is in the right place, and whose sympathies are not dead to the calls of suffering merit. " We have seen already that, in the opinion of two of the ablest lawyers in England, Augustus of Este is the legitimate son of the Duke of Sussex, and, consequently, a Prince of the blood royal of England. The most eminent lawyer in Ireland declared his most decided opinion that the marriage of the royal Duke contracted at Rome in 1793, was perfectly valid as regards Ireland, and that the son of that marriage is, in virtue of his birth, a Prince of that kingdom, clothed with all the rights and privileges of that character. We have to day the further evidence of two of themost celebrated jurists of Germany, Kluber of Frankfort, and Zachariah of Heidel berg, that whether the marriage of his Royal Highness at Rome, or that which was subsequently solemnised in Lon don, be adopted as the test of the legitimacy of Augustus of Este, he is, to all intents and purposes, by the rules of Ger man law, and by the usages of the House of Hanover, an undoubted Prince of that kingdom. We venture to assert that there never was a case of this nature more strongly sup ported by law, by reason, and by justice. " Of this truth the people of Great Britain are more and more convinced every day, and their powerful influence will soon be thrown into the scale of justice, should it be ren dered necessary by the continuance of injustice. One of the noblest characteristics is that unconquerable love of fair play, which prompts them, almost with the quickness of instinct, to range themselves on the side of the injured. Let it but be made to appear that innocence is in danger, that justice has been withheld where it was due, or that oppression has been exercised by the powerful over the weak and the de fenceless, and their sympathies are roused at once; they feel the cause to be their own ; they enter into it with all their heart and soul, and never rest satisfied, never relax their ex ertions, until they have averted the threatened evil, or re dressed the inflicted wrong. This is a Godlike quality, and of it itself sufficient to stamp the Briton with a superiority over the other tribes of mankind. " It may also be remarked that the power of this generous feeling, when it is manifested by the people generally, is all but irresistible. Even in our own times we have seen it triumph over the power of the Crown, wielded by neither a weak nor a scrupulous hand. What was it but the sympathy of the people that made . George IV. quail and desist from his purpose, when he had determined to sacrifice a Queen whom he hated with an intensity proportionate to the injuries which he had heaped upon her? And what was the consequence of the persecution which he had set on foot and carried on against her? Popular hatred of her persecutor. We do not hold this out as a threat to the parties who have it in their power to place the son of the Duke of Sussex in the position which he ought to occupy, We merely state it to illustrate the fact that there is no rank or station in life which can either exempt the possessor from the performance of high duties, or protect him from the consequences of neglecting them. One of these consequences is the alienation of the affections of the people." From the London Correspondent of the Limerick Chronicle. " The exposures now making relative to the marriage of the Duke of Sussex with Lady Augusta Murray, and the manner in which the subject has been taken up by the family, excites much interest here. His liberal Royal Highness is damaged in the course of the investigation, for the heart lessness he has displayed towards his children by that ill used and broken-hearted lady. Lord Melbourne is almost universally condemned for advising his youthful Sovereign to give precedence to Lady Cecilia Underwood above so many distinguished ladies—ornaments of purity in the peer age of England. However, the friends of the Premier seek to remove the responsibility from his shoulders by insisting it was the act of the Queen herself, whom they represent to be particularly attached to the Duchess of Inverness, from the many evenings spent in her society at Kensington Palace. They even go so far as to say that the intercourse was SO great that her Majesty, when a child, had the permission of her royal mother to visit Lady Underwood unattended ! The Duke of Sussex's popularity has unquestionably suffered in this matter." SOIL, CLIMATE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES OF NEW ZEALAND, The soil, climate, and natural resources of New Zealand may be best estimated from the rapidity of vegetation, the vast number of rivers, and the robust and healthy appear ance of its native productions. All kinds of European vege tables, fruits, and grain, grow with astonishing rapidity. Poultry of every description, and cattle of all kinds, fatten and increase rapidly in numbers. The following facts, how ever, it is presumed, will afford satisfactory proofs of the capabilities of the soil. The author, with his own hand, stuck in peach cuttings in the month of June, the size of a goose-quill, the growth of which has been so rapid as to bear fruit in the space of eighteen months ; he has also sown wheat in the middle of September, and reaped an excellent crop in the first week of January following.. There are in this country large tracts of the finest land, covered with the rankest vegetation, and of every variety of rich soils. The English grasses thrive well. The climate of New Zealand is decidedly temperate •, neither exposed to scorching heats in summer, nor to blighting frost in winter. It is very con genial to European constitutions ; those who go there sickly are soon restored to health; the healthy become robust, and the robust fat. North of the Thames snows are unknown, and frosts are off the ground by nine o'clock in the morning. The spring and autumn are delightfully temperate, but sub ject to showers from the W.S.W. The seasons are as fol low :—Spring commences in the middle of August, summer in December, autumn in March, and winter in July. Most of the trees and shrubs are evergreens, and vegetation is scarcely, if ever, suspended, except in the case of exotics. The native grasses flourish throughout the year, and, when the fern has been destroyed, furnish an abundant supply of food for cattle ; and, perhaps, there is no country in the world better supplied with water of the most excellent qua deed, it ti i d s g n o ot o v f e h ry im ea , sy to proceed in any direction, elixtyce in . on the pt g not t o awarec r oss a t n s a t r t e n a n m y o o r n erivulet henvinin n r oe c f e t pure one failure fr e shm in k'ai t e t w h r hcaoui and tivation of wheat has occurred since the attention of Euro peans and natives were turned to the cultivation of that ne cessary article of supply. The natural resources of New Zealand, which are imme diatelyharearthicelresfozrtreestastarpttiesombnetr, and availableflax, to bo f t o h re o i t gn w e h rs io , will.her fideolt ds o tle f ss become of still greater importance to the British nation, and her rising and interesting C o l on i es of Australia —of the former of these, there are considerable variety, some that ar e of exc e l l ent quality not only for house building, but also for the construction of vessels, masts, and spars for the navy. The following short account of a few of the principal trees will be found correct : measuring from 85 to 90 feet iu I.—The Kauri. (Damman Australis., or pious Kauri.) This tree is of large s ize, in height, and from its lightness is admirably adapted for the house-building. Some spars of this species have been sold topmasts of the largest ve ssels, and for every pur p ose of in London as high as £2OO each. Tanakaha (Podocarpus as plenifolius.) This tree grows to 9 feet in circumference. the height of 45 feet, and is from 8 to It is used for all kinds of outside wor k, such as door posts and floors for verandahs, and is much soug ht after. its excellent qualities, has been denominated the New Zea l a nd Puriri. (Vitex litteralis.) This tree, from from grows from 15 to 30 feet without a branch, and vare s oak. It i 12 to 20 feet in circumference. Towai. (Genus podocarpus,) is a heavy, close grained red wood, answering all the purposes of the New South Wales cedar, but much more durable and heavy. It is from 20 to 30 feet in height. Pohutukaua. (ealistomon ellipticus.) It receives an ex cellent polish, and is a handsome substitute for rose-wood. It is from 16 to 18 feet in height, and from 4 to 5 feet in diameter. Hinau, (dicera dentata,) is from 60 to 70 feet in height, and about twenty feet in circumference. The bark of this tree will dye an excellent black, or light brown, or puce colour. Bata. (Taxus Rata.) This is an excellent tree for ship building, on account of the easiness with which knees may be cut cut from it. It is a close-grained red wood, and is from 20 to 70 feet in height, and from 18 inches to 7 feet in circumference. The trade of New Zealand in timber alone f rom i t s genera l adaptation to building purposes, must, at no distant period, prove a Considerable source of revenue to that country. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Thomas Maitland, of the Scotch bar, is to be the new Solicitor-General for Scotland. Paganini continues in ill health, at Genoa. The citizens of Naples recently presented him with the freedom of that city. Mr. Grainger, the celebrated builder of Newcastle, is amongst the competitors for building the Royal Exchange of London. Sunderland continues to be the most extensive ship-build ing port in England. There were 150 ships built there last year, and there are 128 building at present. The late Major-General Sir Alexander Dickson's celebrated charger, which shared his dangers on the plains of Waterloo, is to be shot by order of the will of his later master. ' The Hon. and Rev. Henry Watson is constructing a chapel of ease at Guilsborouh, Northamptonshire, at his sole ex pense ; the cost of erecting which will amount to £7,000. There is no truth in the report that Lord C. J. F. Russell has declined to oppose Lord Stanley's Irish Registration Bill, and will therefore vacate his seat in parliament.—Ministerial paper. On Tuesday last, Mr. Solomon Bray was elected town clerk of Birmingham, rift Mr. Wm. Redfurn, who resigned after holding the office nearly a year and a half without being able to obtain any salary ! TIIE WEAVERS' TURN-OUT AT STOCKPORT.—We regret exceedingly to announce, that the breach, mentioned in our last, as existing between the operative weavers and their em ployers, in consequence of a dispute about the rate of wages, is not yet healed.—Stockport Advertiser. An inquest was held at Wilmslow, on Tuesday, on the body of a young man, who, having been at the fair on Satur. day last, and meeting a young woman, who was " the apple of his eye," on the arm of a more favoured swain, returned home in the evening and hung himself.—Verdict " Lunacy." —Stockport paper. LAWYERS AND ATEORNIES.—The new law list for 1840 contains the names of nine thousand and eighty-two certifi cated attorneys and solicitors, viz :—in London, 2,802 ; in the country 6,280—a pretty sum they pay, at £8 each.— There are also 1,748 barristers and special pleaders at the bar. What a nice man is Baines, M.P. for Leeds ! He is pro prietor of the LeedB Mercury, in which he descants on the Chinese war as a most disgraceful transaction; and yet he votes with the government on Sir James Graham's motion ! What a nice man is Baines, M.P. for Leeds !—Argus. FoLLY..—A few days ago a gentleman in a state of intox ication was so imprudent as to perambulate the streets of Manchester with £450 in gold and silver on his person. On his arrival in Deansgate, a most suspicious vicinity of the town, he found that he had been completely eased of his treasure. This discovery, it is said, sobered him a little. No trace has yet been found of the depredators. We have been informed, by an eye-witness, that there is now blooming in the garden of Mr. Phelps, at Warminster, a most magnificent specimen of that beautiful plant, the Glycine Sinensis, now more commonly called the " Western," occupying above two thousand feet of wall. Its delicate azure blossoms and foliage cover the entire surface, and dispense their fragrance far around. It is thought that this plant is not to be surpassed in the kingdom.—Salisbury Journal The frail wife of Captain Heaviside, it would appear, con templated a change of name as well as of residence, as the writing-desk carried off by the enraged husband bore on an engraved plate the words " Mary Lardner." In that desk there was evidence that would satisfy a jury, unless the Reverend Dennis Dionysius should prefer exhibiting the black and blue marks of the husband's cudgel. The un-re pentant lady is in the house of her father, Colonel Spicer, at Boulogne. The gallant remains at Paris, still a little sore from all he suffered for his love. A few days after the death of the late Mr. J. Gibson, of Ipswich, who died on the 10th of April last, the relatives of the deceased gentleman, while engaged upon some business of the house, discovered concealed in some old books that had been kept for some years in a cupboard of a sitting-room, bank notes, many of them of £lOO value each, and gold to the amount of altogether of nearly, if not quite, £4OOO. The whole were found in various deposits, and appeared to have been placed there at distinct intervals of time. The property is divisible among several parties.—Bury Post. A FORTUNATE FELON.—Mr. Francis Hastings Medhurst, now under sentence of imprisonment for manslaughter, is said to become entitled to £7OOO per annum, by the death of his grandfather, G. N. W. Medhurst, Esq., of Medhurst Hall, Yorkshire. That gentleman had been inmate of a private lunatic asylum, near Uxbridge, for many years, having murdered his wife in 1804, whilst labouring under a fit of insanity. His grandson is now of age, but whether under the peculiar circumstance in which he is placed, he will inherit the property, or it will be forfeited to the Crown, remains to be seen. CLOSING SHOPS.—The retail hatters of Leeds have come to the resolution of closing their shops at eight o'clock in the evening the year round, except Saturday. The tea deal ers took the lead a few weeks ago in this march of improve ment, and we are glad they are thus determined, convinced as we are that they will lose nothing by it, and that their as sistants will reap great benefit from the relaxation which they will thus gain. —Leeds Intelligencer. NAME OF THE CAPITAL OF NEW ZEALAND.—We are in formed that a full board of directors of the New Zealand Company yesterday resolved unanimously, that their first and principal town at Lambton Harbour, in Port Nicholson, shall be called Wellington. The unrivalled situation of this spot as a centre of commerce for the islands will probably ensure its becoming the capital of New Zealand.—Colonial Gazette. NEW DOCKS AT LEEDS.—The Aire and Calder Company have bought from Wm. Chadwick, Esq., thirteen acres of land on the banks of the river Aire, and on the east side of Bowman-lane, for the construction of new docks. The price of the land was twenty-seven thousand pounds. The en trance to the new docks will be just above the Leeds locks, and below the intended Crown Point Bridge. We under stand that the works will be undertaken forthwith. CLOVER SEED.—A fraud is at present practised in many places to a great extent ; old dead clover seed is coloured and sold for genuine new seed. In London there are several manufacturers who can make the most useless old red and white clover or trefoil appear like the finest new seed, and in some instances, old trefoil is made to appear so much like red clover, that it is mixed to a great extent with it, and sold without detection. Outside of the city of Worcester a woman named Mary Pierrepoint, fell into the Severn. Her feet and head alone were under water, and a man immediately took her up, and putting a string round her waist, tied her to the bank, leaving her head just above water. The surgeon who was sent for found the body then warm, but life had fled. Had the woman been placed on the bank, her life might have been saved. The reason assigned by the man for not taking the body out of the water was, that he thought it unlawful to remove a dead body without a constable being present.— Worcester Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—About eighteen years ago, a poor woman of the name of Elizabeth Charlesworth, of Sheepshead, was in labour but not delivered of her child, and on Saturday last she died, at the age of 50. At the re quest of the poor woman during her life, several surgeons were present on Monday last, when a post mortem examina tion took place, and a large substance was discovered in her inside, which proved to be a young child, in perfect preserva tion ; it was inclosed in a hard substance, and no doubt is entertained of its having remained there from the time when the poor woman was in labour, and not delivered, eighteen years ago. The child is now in the possession of Messrs. Palmer, surgeons, Loughborough, and weighs six pounds : its legs and arms are quite perfect, and it is admitted by all who have seen it, that such a circumstance was never known to have occurred before.—Nottingham Review. SCHOLES CHURCH ' WIGAN.—On Monday last, the inte resting ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of a new church, to be erected in that part of Wigan called the Scholes, took place. For years past it has been a matter of regret, that a district, containing about eight thousand inhabitants, should be left comparatively without a spiritual guide, or the means of worshipping God in a temple in their own immedi ate neighbourhood. About eighteen months ago, at a meeting called by the Rev. H. J. Gunning, rector of this parish, it was agreed on that subscriptions should be obtained, and the defect remedied ; and at subsequent meetings a spot was fixed on, in a field belonging to John Woodcock, Esq., and suffi cient ground obtained on advantageous terms, through the liberality of that gentleman. The mines under the field be longing to W. Lamb, Esq., were also in the most handsome manner relinquished to the building committee for almost a nominal sum. The spot selected could not be more appro priate. It is the highest, or nearly so, in that neighbour hood ; and the building, when completed, will, besides the important use to which it is dedicated, form a most interest ing adjunct to the town, and will shortly lift its turret to heaven in token of the religious feeling of the inhabitants. Then will be verified the saying of one of our most beautiful bards, and, in addition to The never-failing brook—the busy mill," will be added, " The decent church that topp`d the neighbouring hill." —Wigan Gagette. MORE POOR-LAW TYRANNY, — The Poor-law Commis sioners have published a report lately, from which it appears, that they are so far from being dismayed at the misery and suffering which they have occasioned in carrying out the act, that they contemplate imposing fresh restrictions and priva tions on the pauper community, in all cases in which it shall be proved that the comforts they enjoy are a temptation to others to seek for the protection that the workhouses afford. This, we apprehend, is a taunt of the most villainous descrip tion. They know perfectly well that their diet scale can only be " stomached" by such as are on the verge of starvation, or are utterly incapable of earning or procuring a mouthful of food, by luck or by labour, of a better or more nourishing sort. The threat, however, shows the lengths they are dis pbsed to go, to make the poor man more miserable than pauperism itself would force him to be ; they are now devis ing means for rendering the workhouse the worst place that a man can be brought to, as if it were not that naturally and in itself.--Preston Chronicle. CALAMITOUS AFFAIR.—About three o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) morning a fire broke out in the paper manu factory of Messrs, Barrett and Coles (late Mr. Joseph Coles), of Wookey, near Wells, which raged in a short time with such violence, that before sufficient assistance could be ob tained it had become perfectly uncontrollable. The two new engines from Wells arrived at about half-past four, but pro duced comparatively little effect, though a large pond of water was close at hand. By mid-day the whole of the pre mises, excepting the dwelling and engine houses, were in total ruins, and an immense stock of paper and rags wholly consumed. The premises have within the last few years been built from the ground for the purpose of manufacturing by machine, instead of by hand, for which Mr. Coles has been so long and so justly celebrated, and the loss is esti mated at from £B,OOO to £lO,OOO, only about one-half of which is said to be insured.—Bath Chronicle. Tn WHALE AT FLIMBY.— On the evening of this day week an immense monster of the whale species was observed floundering near low water-mark, opposite the village of Flimby. The villagers assembled in great numbers, and essayed .to make the monster captive. They procured a strong rope, and succeeded in getting a noose over his whale, ship's tail. There was the giant of the deep at one end of the rope, and about fifty villagers pulling at the other ; find, ing himself under a moment's restraint, he, by one tremen dous effort with his unwieldy bulk, laid prostrate the inhabi tants of. nearly a whole village. °um and hatchets were soon procured, and the tide baying considerably receded, the animal was not in a condition to resist or escape from his numerous assailants, and thus the monarch of the deep h ess w t a h s an l4 s f fi ee f t ee i t n from h e e T sn h o e u g t ir t t o h e th f e th en e d he o d f y th e e f tail, this became at on ce t h e i r captive and their victim. He measured l wn iu oilt- g ic e l creature was upwards of 28 feet; and his jaw bones were 14 feet long by 10 f eet b road. The carcase was soon mangled and cut to pieces by numerous operators, many of whom report says quarrelled seriously in dividing their and is becoming a great nuisance, in un wieldy prize. says the above was put into type, we have received the following particulars :—" The skeleton is still conse quence having taken place. The blubber and whalebone would have been much more valuable bad taken off judic iously; but the spoilers, who set they been of the lord of at defiance the just claim s . on the e b f ea d c e li co , decomposition the manor, in a out. It is load themselves while the tide was reported that great measure defeated their objects, by their eagerness to s upposed to be the mate of the one whi c h b e en seen during the week, blowing, ah a s n a s o i ttbhieseertnehrcurnagpeetdufirshceld' has o, close to the shore. Should this be the case, it will probably also be cap captured, asit will scarcely leave th e spot, but it will linger about m se arch of its lost companion till they share one common fate. There is no inhabitant of the ocean that shows more a ttachment for each other than the whale.--Curnberland Pacquet. ... Professor Berres has discovered a process by which the pictures formed by the Daguerrotype can be immediately re produced, as from a lithographic stone.—Vienna Gazette. Three letters, from a convict in New South Wales, were last week found in a bag of wool at Leyster Dyke Mill, near Bradford, addressed to his friends at Bradford. It is stated in the New York Herald, that the fire insur ance offices of that city have lost two millions and a half out of their capital of about six millions of dollars, since May, 1839. SCIENTIFIC FRAUD.—The Times cautions brass-founders against buying, as copper, iron nails washed with a solution of sulphuric acid and copper, which gives them the appear ance of the latter. The Duke of Norfolk has given a large piece of ground near Skye Edge, Sheffield, for the purpose of building bar racks on a more extensive scale than those near the infir mary, and that Sheffield in future will be the head-quarters of one or more regiments. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 6.—There is nothing whatever doing in Sugars in this Market, the stocks having long since passed into the hands of the Trade. Arrivals are consequently looked for with anxiety.—Bristol Standard. BURTON.—Within this last •fortnight there has been no less than three broods of foxes discovered upon Clawthorpe Fell, nine of which have been taken, including one old dog weighing upwards of 18. pounds. In two of their dens were found an innumerable quantity of rabbits, four lambs, four hares, two pheasants, one turkey, one hen, and a quantity of Hooks.—Lancaster Gazette. SEDUCTION.•—A bill has been introduced into the house of Commons, to enable justices of peace in special session, on proof of two witnesses, whereof the woman seduced may be one, to impose a penalty of not exceeding £3O to be paid within eighteen months to the party complaining, or levied by distress, or to commit for six months. The same power is also proposed in case of breach of promise of marriage. We have much pleasure in stating that the Venerable the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells has recovered so much al ready during his short sojourn at Weymouth as to be ena bled to take equestrian exercise, to which his Lordship is very partial, every day before breakfast.—Bath Chronicle. The Melodists' Club, of which Lord Burghersh is presi dent, will give a prize of 15 guineas for the best national song, composed by an honorary member of the society ; and Lord Saltoun will give a prize of ten guineas for the best ballad after the style of the old masters, to be awarded next month, when ladies will be invited to witness the ceremony. AN EARLY SWARM. — On Tuesday, the 28th of April, about four o'clock in the afternoon, an unusual bustle was observed in one of the hives at Mr. Harrill's, Eastwood farm, Brislington, near the railway, and shortly after the young bees were seen to leave the hive. The swarm was safely lodged in a new house, and are now busily employed. The time of day at which the swarming took place is not less unusual than the early period of the season at which it hap pened.—Bristol Standard. EXEMPTION OF OFFICERS IN THE ARMY FROM THE PAYMENT OF TURNPIKE TOLL.—A' case recently occurred at Swansea as to the liability of officers in the army to pay turnpike tolls, and the magistrates being equally divided on the point, the commanding officer of the district, Captain Butler, 45th Regt., vrote to the Secretary of War, and his decision upon the csnstruction of the Mutiny Act clearly exempts officers in uniform or undress from the payment of turnpike tolls. CAUTION.—A fellow of genteel appearance has been re cently robbing several innkeepers in this neighbourhood, under the guise of a commercial gentleman. Last week, he stole five silver table-spoons from the Castle and Ball, and several articles of plate from the commercial room of the White Hart Hotel, Bristol. He is of middle age, with Ro man nose, hair nearly grey, and wore a black frock-coat, but toned up, with light trousers ; and the better to practise his villany, he usually carries brown paper parcels under his arm. In most cases he also contrives to leave without paying his bill.—Bath Chronicle. 'The skin of a boa bas been.presented to the museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, which measured 20 feet in length. When shot, the boa measured 21 feet. "It had swallowed a spotted deer, which was taken out of the inside, not too much decomposed for the spots in the skin to be quite distinct. Where the deer was, the skin measured three feet one inch across." The Earl of Chesterfield, we hear, intends giving up his fine pack of hounds at Northampton, and, we understand, Mr. Osbaldeston offered to take them if an adequate sub scription could be raised. The Northamptonshire sportsmen are much indebted to the noble earl for the excellent sport he provided for them during the past hunting season ' • and we feel satisfied the retirement of his lordship will be much regretted. There is now in full bloom at the gardens of the Horticul tural Society at Chiswick, a fine tree of the glycinis sinensis, on the south wall of the garden. The flower is of a blue colour, and pendant like the laburnum, which flower it resem bles, and the tree, which occupies a space of 240 yards upon the wall, exhibits a complete mass of foliage, having an ex tremely rich effect. The original tree was sent over by Mr. Reeves, from Canton. • M. Katchentoff, the proprietor of a vast domain in the environs of Moscow, has discovered in one of his fields some casks, containing a sum of 600,000 rubles, (about £96,000 sterling,) which amongst other conjectures hazarded on the subject, are supposed to have been buried there by Mazeppa and his companions in misfortune. Some rural landowners in the neighbourhood of Presburg have just tried to make pumpkin-sugar; and the experiment has completely succeeded. Twenty-seven quintals of that vegetable yields one quintal of raw sugar. This invention is one of great importance to Hungary, whose soil is very favourable to the cultivation of pumpkins, which attain here so large a size that some are to be found weighing four hun dred pounds.—German print. TRANSATLANTIC LAWYERS.—It becomes our painful duty (says the Little Rock Times, of March 19) to notice a dis graceful affray which occurred in the Circuit Court on Satur day last, between two of our most distinguished lawyers, when the lie was repeatedly given, and leaden inkstands thrown from one to the other, until not only the records, but the by-standers, were completely bespattered with ink and blood. The progress of vegetation upon a beech tree having been attentively observed by a person in town during the last four years, the following is the result, showing that the present season is considerably in advance of its three predecessors : On the 15th of May, 1837, it shot its first leaves ; on the 11th ditto, 1838, it shot its first leaves; on the 6th ditto, 1839, it shot its first leaves; and on the 24th April, 1840, it shot its first leaves.—Kilmarnock Journal. SIR THOMAS PHILLIPS.—In the Court of Common Pleas, on Monday, Mr. Serjeant Talfourd made an application to have the name of Sir Thomas Phillips struck off the rolls of the Court as an attorney, that gentleman being about to be called to the bar. The learned sergeant said that their Lord ships would recollect his client, who had done such good service at Newport while mayor of that town, during the re cent disturbances there. Application granted. AN EXTRAORDINARY JUMPER.—Lieut. Reynard, of the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade, now at Windsor, is one of the most out-and-out jumpers on record. Notwithstanding he is a stout-built man, with lots of flesh and fat upon his loins, he will place eight chairs in a line, close to each other, and without taking a run, and standing within a few inches of the end chair, make a spring and clear the top of the whole of them, the distance being upwards of twelve feet. — Windsor and Eton Journal. GREAT HARDSHIP.—At the Hereford Police Court an order was made for the removal of Emma Porter from the union workhouse to her husband's parish. The husband is a Chelsea pensioner, and the woman left him some years ago and lived with a man by whom she had several children; the poor pensioner cannot prove their illegitimacy, and, under the New Poor Law Bill, his pension will be attached for the support of the children of another man.—Hereford Journal. BRITISH AND FOREIGN TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—On Saturday week the annual general meeting of the above so ciety was held in the Queen's Concert Room, Hanover square, the Bishop of Norwich, in the absence of Bishop of London, in the chair. The chairman on taking the chair, expatiated at great length and in the most eloquent manner on the ill effects of intemperance. His lordship, in concluding his address, said that there was supposed to be in great Britain 23,000,000 souls, who had consumed 35,000,000 gallons of ardent spirits ; among them the cost of bread for the support of that number of people would be £25,000,000, whilst the money expended for the above quantity of spirits amounted to £44,000,000. This quantity of spirits would form a river 100 miles long, 30 feet deep, and as wide. The secretary then read the report from which it appeared that during the year ending January, 1839. 30,868,562 gallons of spirits paid duty for home consumption for England and Scotland. Up wards of 57,000 public-houses and 47,000 beer shops were licensed in England and Wales ; 20,237 persons were taken into custody for drunkenness, and upwards of 290,000 per sons were relieved by the hospitals, &c., &c., a large portion of whom required the aid in consequence of le use of ardent spirits. The report, after showing the low state of the funds, stated that the consumption in spirits had greatly decreased but that opium was being used in the manufacturing districts in great abundance, THE LATE LORD W, RUSSELL.---The atrocious murder of this highly-respected nobleman has created quite a con sternation at the west end of the metropolis, the tragical death of the venerable lord forming a general subject of con versation among the upper classes of society. The deceased lord, who was the posthumous son of the fourth Duke of Bedford, and brother of the late duke, was born the 20th August, 1767, and was consequently within a few months of completing his 73d year, when the hand of an assassin put a period to his existence. On the 11th of July, 1789, his lord ship married Lady Charlotte Villiers, eldest daughter of the late, and sister of the present Earl of Jersey, who died in 1808, leaving issue four children, three of whom are alive, viz., the Hon. Mrs. Grey Bennet, widow of the late Hon. Henry Bennet, brother of the Earl of Tankerville ; Mr. W. Russell, attorney-general for the Duchy of Lancaster; and Lady Wriothesley Russell. The deceased represented the family borough of Tavistock for many years in the House of Commons, and subsequently was our minister at the court of Lisbon. By this melancholy occurrence the fathilies of the Duke and Duchess of Bedford; Lord John Russell, Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Earl and Countess of Tan kerville ; Lord and Lady Wriothesley Russell, Earl and countess of Jersey, Dowager-Duchess of Bedford, Lord and Lady Charles. Russell, and upwards of nine others, are placed in mourning.—Morning Herald. PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE. — It affords us the most sincere pleasure to hear from parties, who had opportunities of acquiring an intimate knowledge of the disposition and talents of this illustrious young prince, the most favourable accounts of his varied acquirements, fine abilities, amiability of manner, and goodness of heart. He is represented as being an excellent classical scholar, a proficient in the modern languages of Europe, refined in his tastes, high-spirited, benevolent and affable, and an Englishman in predilections and feeling. From some observations recently made by his royal father we learn he is anxious to mix freely with his countrymen when his military duties will permit him to do so. At the anniversary dinner of the Marine Society, re cently held at the London Tavern, at which the Duke of Cambridge presided, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, in a brief but kind and graceful address, proposed the health of the prince. He said that he had long and intimately known him, and that to know was to love and honour him for his fine talents and his many noble and good qualities. He trusted next year to see him fill the chair now occupied by his royal father, for he could assert with the greatest confidence that the prince was never more happy than when contributing, in however slight A degree, to the comfort and welfare of even the poorest of his countrymen, and never more proud th an when engaged in advancing the interests of our charitable institutions. The Duke of Cambridge, who seemed muc h affected by the signal marks of applause with which this toast was received, said, in returning thanks, " that he should not be doing justice to his own feelings if h e did not avow that he believed his son was not wholly unworthy of the enconiums bestowed upon him. It had been his aim to rear him up as an Englishman, with pure English feelings and honest English habits, and to set Constantly before him the example of his grandfather." It is wholly impossible to describe the burst of en thusiasm with which this all us i on to the virtues of the " good old king " was received. The ap plause, in which every person in the room heartily joined, was continued for several minutes ; and when on the point of dropping, was renewed again and again, each time more fer vently than before. When it at length subsided, his royal highness said, in continuation, " that nothing would afford him greater pleasure than to see his son fill that chair next year, and as his father, he should feel the highest gratification in sitting byhis side." The Prince is at present with his re giment at Brighton, and, we hear, is punctual in the discharge of his military duties, and equally beloved both by officers and men.—Brighton Gazette.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 8. A very good demand for all descriptions of Sugar is still expe rienced, and 1500 hhdS B.P. have been sold, at a further advance of Is to 2s per cwt. No sales of Mauritius; but 4500 bags Bengal have been taken at very full prices, low damp brown 55s to 61s 6d, and good to fine white 71s to 73s per cwt. The sales in Foreign Sugar have been extensive, and consist of 115 cases, 665 brls and 1450 bags Brazil, chiefly Pernambuco ; low strong brown at 21s, good at 22s to ass 6d, and low to fine white at 235 3d to 275. 900 bags Manilla were taken for export at the quotations. No sales in bonded Refined.—Molasses. The market is very barely supplied. and there are no sales to report this week.—The sales of Plantation have been very limited, consisting of 40 brls of Jamaica and 100 brls and bags .11erbice ; the latter chiefly at 101 s to 104 s for middling qualities; no change of moment in prices; 50 frazils of Mocha were also sold, at 108 s to 1108 for middling. Nothing done in Foreign.—A small lot of Pimento sold at 24d, and 730 bags black Pepper at aid to 4icl per lb.—No sales of Cocoa or Ginger.-3400 bags Bengal Rice have been sold at 13s 3d to 13s 6d for middling quality.—Rum continues to be inquired for, and nearly 350 pulls. have been sold, chiefly good and fine Demerara, at as 101 to 6s 4d, and common Leewards at 3s 7d per gallon, with a parcel of hhds., 10 per cent. 0.P., of fine quality, at as per gallon. In the early part of the week the Tea market was flat, and very little business done; on Wednesday last, it being stated in the Lon. don papers, that news had been received from China, to the effect that the dispute still remained unsettled, a much better feeling has taken place, and a fair business done on speculation at our quota tions. The letters per overland mail are expected to-morrow. The market closes firm, with more-buyers than sellers. Nothing to report in Indigo.—Numerous public sales have been brought forward, but attended with little success ; subsequently some sales were effected, the transactions by auction and private treaty comprise 111 chests East India Gum Arabic at 358 to 525; 76 chests Shell Lac at 415 to Os ; 450 pockets Bengal Turmeric at 305; 10 bales Bengal Safflower at 50s; 14 serons Cochineal, at 5s lid to as 11 d for Vera Cruz black, and 4s 10d per lb for Honduras silvers ; a smal lot of China Mother-of-Pearl Shells at 60s ; and a few chests Cowries at 455.—Nearly 500 bags Nitrate of Soda sold at 17s fid to 18s 6d.—Very little done in Saltpetre. There has been a fair demand for Logwood ; the sales are 130 tons Campeachy, at ./.'y 5s for indirect, and .4'lo for direct imports ; 430 tons St. Domingo and Honduras at £7 lOs to £8 2s 6d; 30 tons Tampico Fustic at .e 6 17s fid. 30 tons of Savanilla and Carthagena at £5 5s to .e 5 lOs and a few tons Jamaica at £6 lOs ; 40 tons Lima Nicaragua Wood at el 4 to £l5 per ton.—There has been a general and extensive demand for Turpentine, and the purchases amount to 4000 to 5000 brls. at 12s 6d to 13s gd per cwt, all to the Trade ; the latter price was given for a small parcel only of choice quality.— No sales reported in Tar.—Montreal Pot Ashes coutinue to go off regularly, though in lirOited quantities, at 24s 3d to 24s 6d, and Pearl Ashes at 31s 6d per cwt.—Hides. Salted Monte Video Ox are a shade lower, but Horse Hides have sold briskly, at high prices ; the sales are 1500 of the former at sd, 400 dry Horse at Ils 7d, 1840 salted at 12s 3d to 13s, 370 salted Demerara at 4id to 50, and 100 dry salted Lima at 6d per lb.—Tobacco. The market continues without alteration, and the sales are confined to 120 hhds, of which about 50 were for the Irish.market. In consequence of a large purchase of Brimstone at the close of last week, by one of the principal consumers, prices have since ad vanced 5s to 1 os per ton, and the disposable stock out of the hands of the Company is now reduced to a very Small compass ; the sales of the week have amounted to about 300 tons.—Small sales only are reported in Sumac, Argols, and brown Tartar.—Cream of Tar tar is very scarce ; a single cask of fine quality brought the high price of 100 s, but there have been sellers at 90s, at which some of fair quality has been disposed of.—A few casks of flag Annatto are reported at is per lb, and 100 sacks Turkey blue Galls have been sold by auction at 71s to 73s 6d per cwt.—There has been some business done in Madders ; 20 casks Dutch are reported at the quotations, and 112 bags Spanish Madder (damaged) sold at 34s to 35S 9d.-:-No sales in Quercitron Bark.—Some of the holders of Spanish Olive Oil, having been anxious to sell, have accepted re duced prices, in consequence of which more business was done, about 70 tuns of all descriptions having been 'taken, chiefly at $5O for Seville.—For Cod Oil the demand has improved, and 140 tuns have been sold. (part understood to be for export,) chiefly at -t26, but in one instance .t'26 lOs is reported to have been paid; pale Seal, although oftered at a reduction of lOs to 20s per tun, has been neglected, and a small lot of South Sea Whale Oil, offered by auc tion, was withdrawn for want of bidders.—A moderate demand continues for Linseed Oil, at about 245; for pale Rape there is hardly any inquiry.—h Oil of Turpentine there is little doing, and no change in price toliotice.—Palm Oil. The sale of 200 tons at £35 lOs referred to in our last report, is understood to have been an error, no such sale having taken place in addition to the other sales then stated : this w'iek 130 tons have sold, but the prices are not reported.—ln Hemp and Flax there are no sales to communicate.— For Tallow a moderate demand has been experienced, at a reduction of 6d to Is per cwt. upon most descriptions, but the quantity of Ist sort yellow candle in the market is limited, and the price, in conse quence, pretty steady at the annexed quotations. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 8. There has been a speculative demand throughout the week, and as Spinners also purchased very freely, the business is considerable ; prices, however, can hardly be quoted higher, for, although a slight advance was in some instances obtained on American, the market continues to be so well supplied, that last week's prices cannot be altered. Egyptian is without change, but Brazil and East India may be purchased on more favourable terms. Speculators have taken 8500 American, and Exporters 1100 American and 100 Surat.

Beasts 742, Sheep and Lambs 3656. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 11. The fine growing weather now experienced, together with a better supply of Butter by the steamers from the south of Ireland than was expected, has caused prices to recede a little, nevertheless the demand is very large, and we do not apprehend any serious decline for a week or two. Favourite Waterrora Drams have been sold at 115 s to 118 s per cwt.

Since this day senn'ight we have had unusually small arrivals of British Grain, Folur, and Oatmeal ; and of Foreign produce the im ports are comprised in 7,900 qrs Wheat and 6,350 barrels of Flour. Prom the first to the sixth instant inclusive, there had been released from bond 31,060 qrs Wheat and 39,445 barrels of Flour ; and, on Thursday, duty would be paid on about 50,000 qrs and 100,000 bar rels of these articles respectively; but of this the official account is not yet published. Of other articles, about 12,000 qrs bf Barley and 950 qrs of Beans have also been taken out of bond during the week. Notwithstanding the large:accession of supplies thus thrown upon the free market, holders of Wheat and Flour have not anxiously pressed sales ; and last Tuesday's prices have been fully sustained upon a fair amount of business. There has been less inquiry for Oats than during the previous week; at the same time the quantity offering has been small, and we advance the quotation then made by fully Id per bushel. Oatmeal, also, must be noted 6d per load dearer; 34s to 253 per 240 lbs, for general runs of Irish, a t which there has been a fair sale. In the early part of the week the market was pretty well cleared of sweet grinding Barley offering at 4s 2d to 45 6d per 601bs there is now little or none to be had under the latter rate. Beans are 2s to 3s per qr dearer. Peas without alte ration in value. limparts. WEST INDIES AND MADEIRA.
