Vottrp. THE MOUNTAIN OF MERCY. BY THE REV. J. B. WCREA (For Me Liverpool Standard.) My song shall not of Seneh be, The " dreadful" mount of God, Where, clad with might and majesty, The Lord Jehovah trod, When, issuing from the fervid flame, `Mid thunder loud and long, His awful voice to Moses came Like trumpet waxing strong. I sing not that clear mountain top* Where Jordan rolls beneath, - Whence skies far stretch that fatness drop, And fields that fragrance breathe ; From which, his travail well nigh done, Up gone at god's command, The hoary prince of Jeshurun . Beheld the• promised land. Nor tune to Hermon's fruitful breast, Which fall the dews upon, Nor Carmel's rich enamell'd crest, Nor Cedar'd Lebanon. Gilead, with varied flowers bedight, In em'rald circlet set, Renowned Tabor's summit bright Nor vine -clad Olivet. Than these a mountain lovlier far A t t une s my grateful lay, O'er which the bright and morning star Emits his lucent ray. That ever-glorious hill of God, With thousand charms bespread ; Where long-desired Emanuel trode, On which Messiah bled. This mount of mercy and of grace Uplifts its head on high ; Her fence surrounds the unmeasured base Of heaven-crown'd CALVARY. The feeble frame, the languid limb, And all in heart depress'd, Its smiling innocence may climb, And find relief and rest. Waters of life adown its steep, In copious currents flow ; There flowers their blOom perennial keep, There fruits immortal grow. CALVARY, the mountain of the Lord, Where peace and justice meet, Alter of the Incarnate Word, And sinners' safe retreat. * Pisgah. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. CAN SUCH THINGS BE? (Prom the Essex Standard.) Nay, such things are, and thousands upon thousands of Protestants, as they would be called, are as indiffe rent to the fact as if it were unalloyed and unmitigated and unmitigated fiction. The yearly grant to the So ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel has been long since withdrawn by the present government ; and, hear it, Englishmen,' £70,000 per annum is actually being paid, by a professedly Protestant Government, for teaching what, until lately, they were accustomed to affirm, by oath, to be " damnable doctrines." Yes, this is the sum which we are actually dealing out, like Jezebel of old, for the purpose of supporting idol priests, teachers of Baal, bowers down to images ; and yet Englishmen will not awaken. Are they waiting for the re-kindling of the Smithfield fires? Have they a wish to experience the pleasure of the Inquisition ? 0 let them look to the facts which we will set before them in a very few lines, and be warned before it is too late. Here is the parliamentary paper containing an account of the grants already made by government : FOR POPERY: Gibraltar Cape of Good Hope Mauritius Lower Canada Upper Canada.

(From the Watchman) It would seem from the lavish grants of money pro posed by ministers for the maintenance of Prince Al bert, notwithstanding the Queen's ample income of L 300,000 per annum to support any conceivable ex penses consequent on her approaching marriage, that as little attention is bestowed on the state of the re venue, as on other neglected public interests. Hap pily there are those non-official guardians of the com monwealth, who, ever and anon, thunder in Lord Mel bourne's ear some disagreeable truths to chafe the cur rent of his otherwise easy and pleasurable existence. The Earl of Ripon is one of these wakeful sentinels on the battlements ; and he has just blown a note of alarm, not loud but deep, respecting the unsatisfactory state of the revenue. What public interest, in short, it may be asked, is in a prosperous condition ? Verily the ma terials to sustain Sir J: Y. Buller's vote of censure on ministers lie scattered thick as hail, and whatever im pression they may make on the faction-proof minds of the present House of Commons, they cannot fail to do great execution throughout the country at large. It might seem, indeed, from the results of the late elections in favour of ministers, as if nothing would arouse the public to a sense of the dangers which me nace our beloved country. Various local circumstan ces and other influences, however, might be success fully pleaded against any general unfavourable infer ence to the cause of Conservatism being drawn from those elections. But certainly they ought, if anything can, to arouse every true patriot and Protestant from the delusive day-dream, that the cause of constitutional freedom as versus that of the movement, can be won without efforts commensurate with the energetic influ ences combined to secure its overthrow. In a late number of this journal, we pointed out, at some length, how completely unrepresented in the House of Com mons are " the Protestant people of England." We anxiously desire, that that appalling fact may lay hold of the public mind, and put it into a right state of feel ing prior to another general election. Alas ! that there should prevail in the minds of those classes of the community, who profess a general indifference to reli gious truth, so lamentable an instance of what even they owe to Protestantism, as the fountain of civil, as well as religious liberty. But to return t o the Earl of Ripon's appalling state ments—statements altogether uninfluenced by party feeling, and reflecting no blame either on the Govern ment or on any other parties." Their appeal is to the interests of posterity, on whom the evil will probably fall with accumulated weight, more even than to those of the men of this generation. "Those who were in different," said the noble Earl, "to what might possi bly happen after their ma times , might n o t p er h a ps feel very anxious about such a question as this." Now it will be recollected, as was asserted by the Earl of Ripon, that the Duke of Wellington, when at the head of the Treasury, " introduced an act, by which all the then existing laws relative to the Sinking Fund were abrogated, and which provided that the Sinking Fund shall only he assisted out of any actual surplus revenue to a certain extent, and, beyond that, that the surplus shall be applied to the reduction of taxes. For five or six years subsequently, with the exception of one year, there was a regular surplus of income over ex penditure, which was applied according to the provi sions of the new act. By the noble Duke's policy, both relief was given to taxation, aid an annual -re duction, to some extent, of the National Debt was ef fected. But now, for the last three years, so far from there having been a surplus, there has been a consider able deficiency of revenue. This, however, is not owing to any real falling off of the national resources, but rather to an increase of an expenditure of the coun try, and that too in the time of general peace. Nor, as Earl Ripon insisted, " does a single reason exist fo r hoping for a curtail ment o f this heavy expenditure," which, on the contrary, has too permanent a character, b e i ng partly owing to fresh additions to the National Debt, and partly resulting from the strong neeessity which exists to keep our naval and military arrange ments in a condition to grapple with the growing spirit of disaffection at home or in the colonies, and with the emboldened enemies of the empire. Again we ask, is this a time for government to play ducks and drakes with the contents of the national purse? We regret so extravagant a proposal, under all the circumstances, for Prince Albert's pocket-money, for sur e l y he will need no other establi shment than the Queen's. We regret it as a needless addition to the national burthens, .bat much more as calculated to widen the breach be tween Government and the operative classes, who see in such palpable proofs of a want of economy, what they consider unanswerable objections to the present syatem of administering public affairs. Whichever way we Ipok, danger stares us full in the face; ---the interests and ascendancy of Protestantism compromised,—lreland secretly arming for undoubted rebellious objects,--the peace of English society at the mercy of a suppressed but not extinct Chartism, —pub lic morals undermined by the impious emissaries of Socialisin,--relig.ious harmony interrupted by the rest less spirit of political dissent on the one hand, and a semi-popish ecclesiastical intolerance on the other, — the manufacturing and agricultural interests in open conflict,--colonial -and foreign sources of discord, a crippled commerce, and expensive wars,—a fluctuating monetary system,—an oppressed pauper population,— and, to complete the picture, a relatively DECLINING ILEVENVE ! j o uN pinLyni Cl'ltlt,S.N.—ln Lis laht illness, his physi cian having remarkcd ctrl} one morning that he coughed with much difficulty ; " that is rather surprising," answered Curran, inlet I have been practising all night." THE CURRENCY. We are indebted for the following extract to Mr, Jones Loyd's pamphlet, " Remarks on the Management of the Circulation ; and on the condition and conduct of the Bank of England and of the: Country Issures, during the year 18,39: " ON THE CONSEQUENCES WHICH DEPEND ON A GOOD OR DAD MANAGEMENT OF THE CIRCULATION. " Doubts have been raised as to the effect which any de gree of mismanagement of a paper currency, so long as it is convertible and the issuers of it continue solvent, can produce either in creating, intensifying, or prolonging the evils of com mercial oscillations. Whilst some parties attribute the fluc tuations of trade, and the not unfrequent recurrence of mer cantile and commercial difficulty, almost exclusively to mis management of the currency, other persons have taken a very different view of the subject. I Fluctuations in trade, they contend, are necessarily connected with the very existence of commerce ; variations in the relation of supply and demand arise out of natural circumstances, and will produce alterna tions ~of prosperity and depression, whatever be the circula ting medium, and in whatever manner regulated. The case would not be different were the circulation wholly metallic. Speculation, according to their views, originates in causes unconnected with the state of the currency ; and although an undue amount of issue may aggravate the evil where it exists, yet prices are out indirectly and distantly connected with va riations in the amount of the currency, whilst other causes affect them more immediately and more powerfully. " It is desirable, no doubt, that a correct understanding should exist on this point. Exaggerated views of this, as of any other subject, may very possibly have been indulged in by those who direct an exclusive attention to the examination of it ; but we must not on that account run into the opposite extreme, and close our eyes to the serious consequences to a trading community which depend upon the regulation of the circulating medium. The currency, in which all transactions are adjusted, has the same reference to the healthy state of trade which the atmosphere in which we all live has to the physical constitution of our bodies; irregularities and disorders may arise from a variety of causes, but the duration and viru lence of them will materially depend upon the pure, healthy, and well-regulated condition of the medium in which they exist. A well-managed currency cannot prevent the occur rence of periods of excitement and over-trading, nor of their necessary consequences, commercial pressure and distress ; but it may tend very powerfully to diminish the frequency of their return, to restrain the suddenness of their outbreak, and to limit the extent of their mischief. The connection, again, between fluctuations in prices and variations in the amount of the circulating medium, is a question of extremely difficult solution in its detail ; and, probably, after the most laborious investigation of it, we can only come to the conclu sion, that the immediate effect upon prices of any variation in the amount of the circulation may be over-estimated, whilst there undoubtedly exists a very intimate connection between them. Indeed, unless this be admitted, the whole doctrine of regulating the circulation, by reference to the state of the exchanges, falls to the ground, and we are left without any principle upon which the management of the cir culation can rest. " Whatever differences of opinion, however, may exist as to the extent to which either fluctuations in the state of trade, or the rise and fall of prices, are attributable to an imperfect regulation of the currency ; these, it must be admitted, are secondary considerations only. Unless the paper circulation of the country be regulated by a fixed rule, not fitful and ca pricious in its operation, but constant and invariable, its convertibility at all times cannot be effectually secured, and the maintenance of the value of the currency, as measured by its ancient metallic standard, must become precarious and uncertain. Upon this point the events of the past year pre sent us with an example pregnant with the most valuable in struction. " The monetary systems of the two principal commercial communities of the world have been subjected to a severe trial. In England, a combination of adverse circumstances has caused a prolonged period of unfavourable exchanges ; a heavy drain upon the bullion of the bank has ensued ; the necessary reduction of the amount of the paper circulation of the country has been delayed till some time subsequent to the commencement of the loss of bullion, and has not at any time been carried to a corresponding extent. The conse quence of this has been a reduction of the bullion to a point which justly cansed very serious alarm, and a general con viction that the monetary system of the country had been brought into imminent danger. The difficulty, however, there is reason to believe, has been overcome ; the bullion is increasing, and the regulation of our paper currency, by re ference to its ancient metallic standard, we may reasonably expect will be maintained. ' How striking is the contrast if we turn to the United States. Connected as that country is with England in all its commercial relations, it was impossible that the circum stances which caused a heavy pressure upon the monetary system of one country should not, at the same time, seriously affect that of the other. The drain upon our bullion, and the measures necessarily taken to counteract it, were imme diately felt in their effects upon the banking system and upon the currency of the United States. The strength and soli dity of the system upon which the circulation of each country is established, were thus simultaneously brought to a con clusive trial ; and the different result in each case might have been reasonably anticipated from the different principles upon which the management of the circulation in each country is based. " In the United States, the paper circulation is under no general systlin of control. The duty of maintaining the con vertibility of the notes, and the corresponding power of re gulating their amount, does not rest w►th a specified body or institution ; unlimited competition exists amongst banks of issue ; and these banks combine with the business of issue all the ordinary banking business of deposit and discount. The inevitable tendency of this system is evidenced by re cent occurrences ; it has proved unable to sustain the trial, and, after a feeble struggle, has altogether broke down. The controvertibility of the paper circulation has not been effec tually maintained. The country is subjected to all the fluc tuations and confusion which attend a suspension of specie payments, and will have to grapple hereafter with the formi dable difficulties which must attend the effort to restore a sound system of currency. " This result was not unforeseen by those who had care fully investigated the principles of currency ; supposing the cabinet of Washington to be sustained in its views by the re presentatives of the American people,' and that the Union is left to be supplied with a paper currency by an unlimited number of banks, acting in competition, and without any control from the action of one powerful central body, we may anticipate, with certainty, a succession of catastrophes such as we have lately seen, occurring at intervals more or less distant according to circumstances. [Norman on Currency, I 1838, p. 60.] This striking anticipation of a monetary con vulsion, which has subsequently occurred, is calculated to create confidence in the truth of the principles upon which the prediction was founded, and to establish the assurance that a careful investigation of general principles will always prove to be the best guide through the intricacies of practical details. " In England, the paper circulation is established on the sound principle of vesting in one institution the power of con trolling its amount, and the duty of maintaining its converti bility ; but that principle is very imperfectly carried out; the power of control is incomplete ; rival issues, though of a su bordinate character, are permitted ; banking functions are united with the management of the circulation, though in a more limited degree than in the United States. " The consequence is, that our system, by virtue of the sound principle upon which it is based, has sustained the trial to which it has been subjected • although, in consequence of the inconsistencies and imperfections which attach to it, the struggle has been difficult and prolonged, and accompanied with many well-founded apprehensions as to the result. Had 'the power of the Bank of England over the circulation been complete, and not counteracted in the first instance by the country issuers ; and again, had the Bank been left fo pursue her simple duty of regulating the circulation by reference only to the state of the exchanges, and not been subjected to improper demands upon her in consequence of her connec tion with the government and the commercial world, her difficulties would have now greatly diminished. " It is not always safe to judge of measures solely by events ; and mankind are perhaps too ready to take a fortunate result as the evidence of wisdom, and failure as a proof of folly. But in those cases in which events can be clearly connected with the preceding circumstances, and be shown to be their natural and legitimate effects, we may safely infer from the nature of the results, what is the character of the system from which they proceed. In the case before us, it seems impossible to doubt that the different fate which has befallen the monetary system of the two countries is the consequence of the different principle upon which those systems are founded ' • and if we are intent upon profiting by experience, and wish to derive from past errors the lessons of future wisdom, we shall surely find in the respective condition and conduct of the Bank of England and of the Issuing Banks of the United States during the last year, abundant reason for repudiating the principle of competition in the management of the currency ; whilst we shall perceive more clearly than ever the necessity of strengthening and extending the influ ence of the Bank of England as a bank of issue, and at the same time restricting, as far as possible, its connection with the business of deposits and discount."

THE NEW CHURCH AT SKIPTON.—A new edifice entitled Christ Church has been opened at Skipton in Craven, York-, shire, and consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon ; the clergy man licensed by the bishop to preach in the church is under stood to be a genuine Puseyite, as might be supposed from the arrangement of the new church. The chancel is one third the whole length of the church, and is raised from the floor of the nave by an ascent of four steps. On the north side of the. topmost of these four steps stands the pulpit ; on the south; the leCtern. - WhenCe the lessodi are fetid. In the centre of the topmost stands a fixed faldstool, holding the Book of Common Prayer, turned towards the altar, so that the officiating clergyman, in saying all the morning and even ing prayers, kneels on the step with his face towards the altar. The sentences and exhortations are read and said from a low desk on the lowest step looking towards the people. Half way down the chancel, on another step, stand the altar rails. The altar itself is of stone, finely carved, to correspond with the architecture of the church, in the early English style. It is covered with a crimson cloth, the fringe of which hangs only an inch or two over the edge, leaving all the carving uncovered. On it stand two massive wooden candlesticks, highly carved and richly gilded. In the south wall, within the altar rails, is fixed the primitive credence, on which to p l a ce the sacred vessels and sacred elements, previous to oblation. It is of carved wood, and covered with a cloth like that on the altar. Christopher Sedgwick, Esq., of Skipton Court, has superintended the construction of the new church. A correspondent of the Record, the organ of a large body of Evangelical churchmen, bitterly complains of these evidences of Popery in the Anglican church. He says : The substitution of a faldstool and lectern, neither of which are once alluded to in the Book of Common Prayer, instead of a reading-desk, is opposed to various directions which are given, to the effect, that the and entires u er u v d i e c r e st b o e ud bpery formed in such a manner t hat it be b the whole congregation, which can never ntebveergliieeattehr p ec at of it a r seina church of any ordinary dimensions,. if _ _ be read by th e o fficiating clergyman, after the Romish fashion, with his back turned to the p eo p le. But the substi tution of an altar instead of the communion-table, is a most flagrant violatin g of the rubric and canon s, b y which it is di rected that, instead of the Popish altar formerly used, there should he placed either in the chancel or body of the church, in which latter place it usually stood, at least during the ce lebration o f th e Communion, at the early period of the Re formation, a table, and a table, only styled " the table , " " the holy tabl e ," " the Lord's table," but to which no other l a t p a p ve el a la c ti a o r n v e is d evaeltraarare ffl o y ds-t one, But upon here, which, 1:e moreover,contrary, we placed two massive candlesticks, highly curved and richly gilded ; whilst the animu s with which the innovation is in troduced, is made yet farther apparent, by the wholly un authorised addition of a primitive evidence, as it is termed, the compilers of our material sacrifice and offering in the sacrament of the Lord's sanction the . idea . o . f a repudiated or side table, A_ n attempt, it is said, Liturgy,semi-Papistical promulgated anew, with r • doctrine recently **reference to this supper, a b n u o t tio * u essentiallyh ~ holly 11 y since-to introduce these anti-scriptural was made a short time . into of the and innovations one new churches of anti-protestant blessed sacrament. the diocese of Lond on, and which would have been carr i ed Bishop of into effect had not the BtLondon expressed hi s de cided refusal to consecrate the church, unless the intenti on Chronicle. were abandoned."—Pres ton AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JANUARY. (From the Morning Herald.) The season is so extraordinary, so anomalous, that we can arrive at no precise conclusions from analogy. We have fre quently noticed a prevalence of rain and flood in January as usual phenomena of mild winters, but, of late, it has been our painful duty to report, month after month, a continuance of the wettest and most gloomy weather imaginable . Still, as a whole, January has improved, for, in the first place, the month entered with a temperature mild as spring, the mer cury of the barometer progressively rising till the 4th (the new moon,) when it receded a few cents, the wind veering by the south, from west, to east and north-east, with continued rain throughout the day. Subsequently the mercury rose gradually to 30 in. 36 cents, the air became frosty, and the atmosphere serene. This state of the weather, which con tinued till the 13th, was very beneficial to the land ; the floods receded, and the fallows were thoroughly searched by the keen frost of the 6th, 7th, Bth, and 11th, which penetrated to the depth of eight inches. Change of wind to west brought a re turn of mild temperature, gloom, and rain. The singularly silent state of the air (which we might almost style one of dead calm) from the autumnal equinox to the middle of Ja nuary, then gave way for the first time to—first, a brisk south western current, and then to strong and fitful gales, which still recur. These, and some of their consequences, have been noticed in all the papers ; it, therefore, only remains to say that heavy showers, sometimes mixed with hail, have been frequent, and each cloud has been preceded by a power ful gust of wind. These partial currents have, generally, been lulled during the intervals of rain, and then the sun has broken forth with brilliancy and power. The character of the weather, after the 15th, was fickle and changeable, but sufficiently rainy to reproduce many floods. We have made it our business to seek for information on the condition of agriculture, after so many unpropitious trials, and we are happy to state that no one has expressed alarm. Our own observations lead us to view things pretty well as they were; the ground remains saturated with water, and is cold. Wheat is looking green and healthy, but thin in some places—not, however i patchy as in 1838. It is said that slugs or other vermin have destroyed some of the roots; but the plant is expected to tiller fully, and thus supply every deficiency. Clover does not stir, but turnips are fine and abundant ; the young stubble Dutch continue even to grow. We find no general report for England in the British Far mers' Magazine. From private sources we collect what follows :—" From Derbyshire we hear that the wet weather prevented the sowing of fallows with autumnal wheat s and, therefore, the average quantity of seed was not then got in. The early sown is looking well, but the latter is scarcely out of the ground. In the wet and ungenial parts of the county, field beet and turnips have proved nearly failures. The grazing land was never, for the time of year, looking better, and hay is abundant, thus there is plenty of food for sheep and live stock. They are scarce, however, and fear is enter tained that a considerable portion of the sheep is affected with the rot, more particularly in the flats of this county." Our respected correspondent is, we are aware, alive to ap prehension, and for this we make allowance. He mentions, however, two important facts, which claim local and general attention. First, the farmers, notwithstanding the high price of all the produce of the land " do not appear to im prove in any way whatever ; and this has always a tendency to impoverish them." It is truly lamentable that the cultivator of the land is ever in the rear of the march, but this truth calls aloud upon the renowned English Agricultural Society to strain every nerve to rouse, by example, the energies of those who stand in so much need of a stimulus. When will it, in earnest, think to establish agricultural schools, wherein experiments upon a wide scale may be carried through, not in one but in a dozen different situations ? Nothing will be done effectually till facts and inductions be clearly revealed. Hereby the society would decidedly nationalise itself ; increased productiveness would be a far more efficient corn law counter-agent than re crimination and party abuse. The second point alluded to by our correspondent is spring sown wheat, which, he says, is much practised in Notting ham and Yorkshire. Should this answer, as I hope it may, there will open a new field for the production of this staff of life. The season of the sowing approaches, and therefore the period between the present date and the Ist of March will be critical. The Spectator, remarking upon a former observa tion of ours on spring wheat, mis-stated our views. We alluded to the plain fact of the farmer having been unable to get in all his autumnal seed, and welcomed the good result of a widely extended spring sowing. We expressed no alarm whatever, and meant to communicate none. From Hertford we learn, from our correspondent, "That the grain which has been generally sown as usual, is looking as well as can be desired, though, of course, on very wet land, the seed has not yet been sown." He, adds, "I am not aware that this is the case in the immediate vicinity ; and in most instances in which the sowing is not completed, it has been purposely left for the Talavera and other tine kinds of grain. On the whole, the reports are favourable. Stock remains about the same as for some months past, and the lambing season has progressed tolerably well, though the wet weather has not been propitious to sheep. Butchers' meat fetches about the same price as it did at this time last year, and bread is cheaper —we are now paying ninepence the quartern loaf." Floods have not been,high, considering the protraction of wet weather. The frost of the Bth January was 19 degrees, i. e., 13 degrees of Farenheit. The gales commenced about the period before alluded to, and had then continued a week. From all that we have said and quoted, it is manifest that the prospects are not discouraging, but may be rendered so, unless the rains speedily decrease. Improvement is indi cated by facts not to be misunderstood or neglected. ,Drain • age will effect much, because it includes, first, the detection of imperfections in the sub-soil ; second, the regular removal of all superfluous water; and, finally, the deep comminution and improvement of the staple soil; whereby permanent fer tility is greatly secured, and equability kloisture and tem perature promoted. We hope, ere le in the authority of Mr. Pusey's excellent essay), to lay ore our readers the Flemish method of tillage. It is very instructive, and will convey much matter for reflection. DREADFUL MURDER IN EDINBURGH. WOMAN MURDERED HER HUSBAND. The inhabitants of the Grass-market were on Tuesday ' morning thrown into a state of great consternation, by the discovery of one of the foulest murders that has occurred in Edinburgh for many years past. The scene of the horrible deed is a wretched hovel in the second floor of a building in Plainstone-close, Grass-market, tenanted by an old woman named Kelly, who keeps it as a beggars' lodging. Here the murderer, a man called James Wemyss, professedly a tinker by trade, and his victim, whom he passed off for his wife, though there is a rumour that she is the wife of a man who was transported some short time since, had been lodging for the last eight weeks ; and, from inquiries made upon the spot yesterday, we learn that ever since their arrival they had sel dom been sober, and had generally been quarrelling and fight ing whenever they were together; during the last few days the poor woman bore evident marks of his violence. About three o'clock on Monday afternoon, Wemyss entered the lodgings drunk, and he and his wife, who was also drunk, had some words, which ended in his turning her down stairs. He went out shortly after, and returned again at five o'clock, still more under the influence of liquor : he and the woman then went out together to buy some potAtoes, when they had another quarrel, upon which the woman left her husband, and he returned home alone. Soon after eight he went to bed, where be remained until the woman came home—about half past ten. Upon her return he began to abuse her, calling her by the most opprobrious epithets, and upbraiding her with having been in improper company since she left him ; and the woman retorting in similar language, he sprang from the bed, seized her by the ears and shook her, then beat her with 'a stool, and at last put her out of the room, and again got into bed. About eleven o'clock, the woman having come in again, he got up a second time, and they sat down together before the fire, apparently upon pretty good terms. But soon a fresh cause of disagreement arose out of a tobacco-pipe, which he maintained she had got : this she denied ; and enraged at her denial, he again struck her with the stool, and, not con tent with this, he seized a brick from several loose ones which were lying within the fireplace, and gave her a tremendous blow upon the side of her head, which felled her to the ground. He then raised her up, and repeated the blow several times ; after which he quickly returned to bed. The strangest part of the affair is, that while all this out rage was going on, theme were no less than thirteen persons in the apartment and in a bed-closet adjoining to it, not one of whom interfered The first notice that was taken of it, was by the old woman, Kelly, getting out of her bed and • going to the body of the woman ; she called to Wemyss that his wife did not breathe, upon which he got up, took the body in his arms, and carried it to the bed where he had been lying. By this time some other persons in the room began to stir, Vut being quite dark, it was almost impossible for them to judge whether the woman was alive or not ; and Wemyss having volunteered to procure a light left the place for that purpose. Some of the others also went out to bring a doctor, but meeting.with a watchman, they told him " there had been a fight," and he returned with them : they then fell in with Wemyss coming with the light, who, seeing the watchman, thought it right to look after his own safety, and, thrusting the candle into the hands of one of the men, he took to his heels, and escaped over the ruins of some old houses which lie at the back of the close. _ _ _ The woman was found to be quite dead. The body was shockingly mutilated : there was a deep cut near one of the eyes, and blood was streaming throughout the ears. The watchman immediately procured assistance, and conveyed the body to the police-office. Great anxiety now prevailed for the apprehension of the murderer. Having left his den without his hat, coat, or waistcoat, it was hoped that the description of him given to the watchmen in all directions would speedily lead to his ap prehension—which soon proved to be the case ; for about five o'clock he was detected lurking on a common stair at Lockrin distillery, and was at once secured and brought to the police-office. He made no resistance—confessed he had been very drunk—but affected to know nothing whatever of the barbarous deed of which he was accused.

LEEDS.—We are glad to observe a considerable improve ment in the tone of our markets during the past week. — Purchases have been more freely made, and in some cases better prices have been given ; and the conviction seems now to gain ground pretty generally that the recent reduction of the rate of interest by the Bank of England, and the en couraging news from the United States, will lead to the speedy restoration of our commercial activity. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was an average demand for manufactured goods in the Piece Flail on Thursday, Saxony Cloths having the call. Of this description of fabric the stock on hand was limited, and therefore, the manufacturers of such goods obtained rather better prices. In other kinds nothing occurred worthy of note. The Yarn market was considered very firm, the spinners seeming rather anxious to purchase extensively. In the Wool market there was more business done than usual, chiefly in the inferior and middling qualities of long wool, for which rather better . prices were obtained, but in the finer sorts there was no quotable variation. TRADE AT BRADFORD.—For the last four or five months trade has been anything but healthy or vigorous at Bradford ; we are, however, very glad to be able to report that in cer tain quarters symptoms of resuscitation have appeared.— Several mills have recommenced running longer time; and various woolcombers, w o o l sor t ers , & c ., ye in consequence found employment. We trust the revival will be permanent and extensive. 'WAKEFIELD Wool. MARKET JAN. 31.—There has been a steady demand for all combing wools this week : last week's prices are fully supported, but there is no further advance. Blanket and clothing wools are without variation for some weeks past. There is, pehaps, more inquiry, but few sales passing. BARNSLEY CORN MARKET, JAN. 29.—Notwithstandinc , the wetness of the day, the market was mod era t e l y atten d e d , ' but Wheat was far from being in good condition. Millers, however, bought, freely of prime sam pl es , w hi c h real i ze d a little wore in price than on the week previous ; but in inferior sorts there was no alteration. In all other kinds of grain no variation. Certain votaries of the occult sciences, says the Journal General, have made the following cabalistic calculation. On adding together the figures 1789, the year in which the first French revolution commenced, they will make the sum 25, the exact period of the duration of that revolution, which was at an end in 1814. By performing the same operation with 1815, the year in which the co unter-revolution was perfected, the number 15 will be produced , and give the precise dura tion of the restoration. By adding together 1830, the num ber 12 will be found ; but it remains to be seen whether this is an equal prognostic. SELECT EXTRACTS.

"—Metropolitan Magazine. CITY OF QUEBEC.—III the midst of a fine landscape stands Quebec, the capital of British America. It is seated on a promontory stretching out into the river, which, by means of it and Point Levi, on the opposite side, is narrowed to about three quarters of a mile, though inimediatelybelow it spreads out into a wide basin. Cape Diamond, the most elevated point of the city, is reckoned by an eminent traveller 1,000 feet high; a proof of the fallacious nature of such estimates, since the more accurate observation of Bouchette fixes it at 345. Above 100 feet lower is an elevated plain, on which are built the castle, and the whole of what is termed the upper town. Thence a perpendicular steep of above 200 feet de scends to the banks of the St. Lawrence ; and in the narrow interval'between this precipice and the river is the lower town, the crowded seat of business and .shipping. The scenery of Quebec and the surrounding country is described by all travellers as rivalling in picturesqne beauty the most favoured parts of the earth.. The navigator who ascends the St. Lawrence, after' he has passed the Isle of Orleans, and entered the broad basin' already mentioned, where he first comes in sight of this capital, is struck with intense admira tion—He sees its citadel crowning a lofty cliff, its castle and batteries overhanging a range of formidable steeps, the river crowded with numerous vessels of every form and size, from the huge timber-raft to the bark canoe. The fall of Mont morenci appears dashing its white foam almost to the cloud ; and on each side is a long range of fertile and beautiful shore. On ascending Cape Diamond, a still grander and more ex tensive panorama bursts upon his view, combining all the boldness of rude with the richness of cultivated nature. Up and down the magnificent stream of the Saint Lawrence is a reach of more than forty miles, on which sails almost innu merable are in ceaseless movement.—Below is the beautiful Isle of Orleans; while the opposite coast is diversified by a great variety of natural and cultivated scenery. To the north appears the river St. Charles, winding amid fertile valleys and hills, with villages hanging on, their sides ; while the pros pect is closed by a bold screen of mountains. Mr. Weld prefers the views from the upper town, where, though fewer _objects are seen, they appear more distinct and brilliant. This traveller, after visiting a great part of Europe and Ame rica, gives to them a preference over every thing that he had observed on either continent. Mr. M•Gregor considers. them similar, but much superior, •to those from the castles' of Edinburgh and Stirling. Quebec, from its situation, and the care with which it has been fortified, is a vrey strong town, and considered the chief bulwark of British America. On the summit of the lofty headland just described, stands the citadel. The rock consists of gray granite mixed with quartz crystals, and a species of dark-coloured slate. About forty acres are here covered with works, carried to the edge of the precipice, and connected by massive walls and batte ries with the other defences of the place. The main body of the fortress, however, consists of the upper town, whose fortifications enclose a circuit of about two miles and three quarters. The face of the hill towards the river is so ex tremely precipitous, that it requires only a common wall to protect it, though the gate leading from the lower town is defended by heavy cannon, and the steep approach by Moun tain-street is infiladed and flanked by many guns of large calibre. As the declivity towards the interior and the plains of Abraham does not present the same abrapt face, but del scends by successive ridges, it has been strengthened by a series of regular works, including ditch, covered way, and glacis, with some exterior defences to obstruct the approach of an enemy. 11 seems probable, - therefore, that the place would hold out against any attack, till the approach of the rigorous winter should compel the assailants to raise the siege.— Edinburgh Cabinet Library ; Historical and De scriptive Account of British America. THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.—A correspondent of the Athenceum, writing from Cairo, says :—" In our days of science and enterprise, those pyramids on which I now gaze from my terrace are still the most stupendous efforts of hu man skill and perseverance. I have had lately the good for tune to meet Professor W. Forchhammer, of the Kiel Uni versity, in the Duchy of Holstein ; and I may venture to affirm, that the grand arcanurn the cui bond of those singu lar structures, is at length solved by the investigations of that able antiquarian. As he published in the year 1837, a little dissertation on subject, I need not rehearse the chain of reasoning by which he establishes that the pyramids are ar tificial hills, built over vast receptacles of water. It is not, perhaps, extraordinary, that the Ethiopians, who first colo nized Egypt, should have taken such precautions to supply their newly built cities with water cleansed by subsidency, and cooled by outlets always turned to the north. We learn from . Bruce and Pearce in what singular veneration pure water is still held by the Agows, who will never offer any to a stranger. But, however satisfied with his new theory, Professor Forchhammer was still anxious to extend his re searches by 'ocular examination; and, although extremely diffident before he set out, he had the good fortune to collect new proofs from a careful survey of several pyramids. In this 'part of his inquiries, lie derived considerable assistance from the labours of Colonel Wyse, who, by a succession of most praiseworthy attempts, has succeeded in discovering a new chamber and several of those Syringes mentioned by Strabo (xvi. 1). It is much to be regretted, that some of the spirited scientific associations of the British empire have not taken up the question of a thorough history and survey of the pyramids. The latter part of the undertaking might be accomplished by a well-combined system of boring. My own labours at the great pyramid are on a much smaller scale than those - of the German philosopher... As some of my Eng lish friends entertained doubts relative. to the old standar yard, 1 resolved to Compare an accurate measurement of the length of the grand chamber with that made by John Greaves, who found it to be 34,380 in the year 1680. I obtained 10,471 for the length of the inner wall, and 10;476 metres for that of the outer one. If we take the mean of these two numbers, and divide by 34.38, the result will be 0:30469458 metre for the length of the English foot. The Annuaire die Bureau des Longitudes gives one-tenth of a millim4tre more,. or somewhat less than four thousandths of an inch.- On the morning of the 18th of November, 1 found the dip of the magnetic needle =4l deg. 41 mm. 7 see. on the top of the pyramid, and on the evening of the same day found it to be -41 deg. 32 min. 9 sec. in the principal chamber. The dip at Alexandria was 43 deg. 48 min. 2 sec. on the Bth of October, and GO deg. 29 min. 8 sec. at Rome on the 20th of Septem ber." TEMPERANCE, ABSTINENCE, VARIETY.--Clloeolate has been found most serviceable to the low-spirited, to those who are emaciated, to those who suffer from hemorrhoids; and there are certain states in which coffee may be preferred : but that these and herbs, in a state of infusion and decoc tion., ought to be the sole drink of man, neither appears from the history of the past, nor a consideration of the adaptation of man for the various climates to which he is exposed, the labour he has to undergo, nor to the immense variety of fOod which necessity and habit of life have introduced. The -vicissitudes of human existence, sometimes in a state of the utmost simplicity, at others of unbounded luxury, demand that aliment suitable to the - general wants, as well as to each individual member, should be obtained ; that fermented liquors, if injudiciously taken, produce diseased stomachs and livers, consumption, dropsy, madness, is universally ac knowledged ; and the prudent man, who fears that lie may be betrayed into a single excess that may overpower his rea son, is perfectly right in shunniog the means of mischief. But good wine is a good cordial, a fine stomachic ; and, taken at its proper season, invigorates mind and body, and gives life an additional charM. There can be found no sub stitutes for the fermented liquors that can enable man to sustain the mental and bodily labour which the artificial habits of society so constantly demand. Temperance and moderation are virtues essential to our happiness, but a total abstinence from the enjoyments which the boun teous hand of nature has provided is as unwise as it is ungrateful. If, on the one hand, disease and sorrow attend the abuse of alcoholic liquorS, innocent gaiety, additional strength and power of mind, and an increased capability of encountering the over-varying agitations of life, are amongst the many good results which spring from a well-regulated diet, in which the alcoholic preparations bear their just pro portion and adaptation. Although the abuse of wine and fermented liquors is so dangerous to man, yet a moderate in dulgence in these gifts of Providence is a source of happiness, of joy, and of health to him. The rigid laws that have been so loudly proclaimed, and widely disseminated, are not adapted to every stage of society, nor to every member of the commonwealth. If, on the one hand, disease and affliction follow upon intemperance, additional strength and power of mind, and an increased capability of encountering the ever varying agitations of life, are among the many good results which spring froth a well-regulated diet, in which beer, wine, and tea, bear their just proportions ; nor are alcoholic fluids to be altogether banished, though they are most objection, able if often taken, and more especially in their diluted state. —Dr. Sigmond on Tea. kc. THE UNDULATORY THEORY OF LlGHT.—According to this theory, light is not a peculiar substance or kind of mat ter, but only a peculiar state of matter, viz., a state of vibra tion like that which produces sound. The vibrations of sound are communicated through the air; but those of light through a far more rare and subtle fluid called et hors which is supposed to fill all space, and to be so extremely subtle to penetrate not only between the particles of air, but also between those of solid substances, passing through glass as easily as water through a net. What is generally called a perfect vacuum must therefore be only a space filled with this ether •, for, of course. no, vessel could be made which would confine or exclude it. The excessive thinness of this fluid accounts for its undulations being communicated with immense rapidity. It is supposed, that every source of light sets this ether into a vibrating or wavering state ; as a vibra ting string acts on the air, or a stone on the water into which it is thrown. Now it is known that if two tides, or sets of waves, meet each other, the result is sometimes a very high tide, but sometimes no tide at all. If the two sets of waves meet in such a way, that all the elevations or waves corre spond, and all the depressions or troughs also correspond, the result is a doubly high tide, as might be expected. This is the case in many harbours where the tide comes in by two passages of equal length. But suppose the two passages to be rather 'unequal in length,-so that one tide arrives a little' later than the other, the difference may be such, that all the elevations of one set of waves correspond with the depres sions of the other, and vice vend. Then the two tides de stroy each other, and render the surface of the water com paratively smooth. The same thing occurs in sound ; sometimes double sound produces silence. When two notes slightly differing from each other in pitch are sounded toge ther, the two sets of waves meet as above, and sometimes destroy each other. Thus, the two notes, instead of uniting and producing a louder sound, produce that periodical interval of silence which the musician calls a beat. According to the undulatory theory, the same occurs with light. Sometimes double light produces darkness. When two portions of light arrive at the same spot by travelling two different routes, if the two routes slightly differ in length, the two sets of ethereal undulations may so meet as to destroy each other, as the two tides do in some harbours ; and such is the case in those very thin films which appear black. The light falling on them follows two 'different routes, in order to come to the eye. Some light is reflected hack from the first sur face, and the rest penetrates into the film, and is reflected from the second surface ; and this last portion evidently tra vels to the eye by a route rather longer than that of the for mer portion. Now, if the thickness of the plate be equal to half the length of a wave of light, or to the length of 11, 21, 31, &c., waves, the two sets of undulations coming from the two surfaces of the film, and meeting in the eye, destroy each other, and produce darkness, or 'a black colour. This is the case in all the black stripes, which appear on a thin film seen in homogeneous light. But, at all the light stripes, the thick ness of the plate is 1,2, 3,4, or some whole number of light waves ; and at such places, the two portions of light from the two surfaces, on uniting in the eye, produce a doubly lu minous effect. As in the Newtonian theory of light the fits are of different lengths in the different colours, so, in this theory, different colours in light are like the different notes in musical sounds : they are both due to a difference in the len gt h or slowness of the vibrations—in the one case of ether, in the other of air. Brilliancy of light corresponds with loudness sound • but colour corresponds with pitch. Some persons are inclined to doubt the accounts of the rapidity of the vibrations requisite to produce sound; the very lowest sound being due to at least twelve vibrations in a second of time, while the highest notes require 3000 or 4000 vibrations in a second! But what will such persons say to the velocity of the vibrations which constitute light ; when it is calculat ed, on unerring principles, that to produce red light, which corresponds to a low sound, there is required about 458 bil lions (a billion is a million of millions) of vibrations in a single second ; while violet, or the light which corresponds to a shrill sound, is due to 727 billions of vibrations in a se cond of time ! This difference in the length of the waves of the different colours, accounts for the different breadths of the stripes seen on a film in different coloured lights ; and for the different coloured stripes seen in white light, as ex plained at the end of the last paper. —Saturday Magazine.

The London accounts of Saturday being favourable, considerable' animation has been the consequence in our Butter market to.daf The demand however is principally speculative, and confined to the medium descriptions. Fine Ballymoney's are worth gds to 98 5 Belfast 98s, (scale 102 s) ; Derry's 92s to 945. Pickled Butter is held for more money ; but the transactions arc trivial. It is ex pected that some advance in the price of Beef and Pork will take place ere long. In the mean time the trade is dull, and purchases may be made upon easy terms. Bacon is not so lively an article as it was a few day's since, and the price is is per cwt. lower. Belfast middles we quote 49s to 495. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 1. With the exception of 540 loads of Irish Oatmeal, brought chiefly by steamers, this week's imports of British Grain, &c. have been light. The arrivals front abroad consist of 1697 qrs. Wheat and 6230 brls. of Flour, the whole of the latter and 1250 qaarters of the Wheat from the United States. Duties have been paid upon 510 qrs. of Wheat, 967 qrs. of Beans, 264 qrs. Peas, and 629 bait. of Flour. At last Tuesday's market a large business was transacted in duty-paid foreign Wheat, of which the millers and dealers were free buyers, paying a little further improvement on the advance of Itt to 2d per bushel reported at the close of last week. The business since has been of a less active character, but accompanied by much firmness on the part of holders, and the sales effected yesterday, in the description of Wheat already named, were again at rather higher prices. New Wheat has met a little more inquiry, bu t remains unchanged in value. American free Flotir has sold at 42s 6d to 438 per brl. ; and, since this day se'nnight, 7000 to 8000 brls. have changed hands, in bond, at 30s : in one instance 3os 6d per barrel has been paid for very fine quality.--With little or no improvemept in demand, Oats and Oatmeal have sustained our last quotations, 3s 9d per 401 b. for best Irish Oats, 34s to 34s 6d for Oatmeal.' Barley, Beans, and Peas as last noted. LONDON GAZIA'TE.-FRIDAY, JAN. 31. INSOLVENTS. Jan. 30.—Augustus 011endorff, Liverpool, general-dealer. Jan. 30.—Thomas Kirby, New Bond-street, London, oilman.
