oottre, [ORIGINAL,] ON BEING ASKED BY OMAN ' GENT LOVE? MLEAN, " WHAT IS WS " Oh, ask me not in words to tell What is a woman's love ! • But look around, where'er ye dwell, In courtly hall or lowly cell, Each will confess its magic spell, Its witchery will proive. Go to the court, where splendour shines, In varied joys around ; Go to the hut, where misery pines, And see how.woman's love entwines, In viewless bonds, in shapeless signs, A halm for ev'ry wound. "Ds this which lights the monarch's brow; Alone could he be blest? The streams that wealth and power bestow Unheeded fall, and joyless flow, Unless a woman's fondness throw Its sunshine o'er their breast. The love of woman ne'er was told ! • Can empty words impart Such faith, such love, unbought by gold, Nor e'en by worst of wrongs made cold, When shrin'd within the inmost fold Of faithful woman's heart? It is to hope through worst despair ; To love while others hate ; To smile through many a fallirr , tear; The hour of irclverse skieS to cheer ; The object of her love more dear, In sorrow's darkest fate. -- And what is hope's most brilliant flow'r, Unless she twine the braid ? Nay, what was Eden's rosiest bow'r, Till woman's smile beguil'd each hour, Gracing th' abode of peace and pow'r, With blossoms that ne'er fade ? The richest treasure that Heav'n bestows, In mercy from above; The source whence truest rapture flows, The purest bliss that mortal knows, The star with softest light that glows, Is this--a woman's love ! THE MINISTERS. AND THE WEST INDIES. (From the John Bull.) Till within these few days we had no idea of what a dear darling little duck of a man Lord John is. To continue this most expressive ladies' phraseology, he is such a tweet thing, quite a jewel ! We had thought that his lordship was more inclined to the modern fee losophy in vogue among the utilitarians than to the new lights, and had feared that he was to be classed among the degenerate rather than the regenerate. But from certain words and opinions which have lately fallen from his pen, there can be little doubt that he is about to join brother Knibb, and has received a powerful call to go and wrestle in behalf of the black peasantry of our British plantations. It is delightfUl to witness the unction with which he consigns the trade and com merce of the West Indies to utter perdition—he, pious soul, thinking nothing of the loss, but giving loose to his holy joy at the prospect of the sable elysium which will reign when the sugar cane and its toils shall be for gotten, and labour be an unremembered word. The " call" is announced in a despatch from his lordship to the Governor of British Guiana, dated the 15th of February last ; and which despatch ought to be received as a sweet song sung in Zion, a word of consolation to the saints. Lord John begins the can ticle figuradvely, setting forth the deficiency in last year's crops in Demerara only to have been almost a million, and then proceeds to show that this is the result of a natural cause. It is, humanely observes the singer, the consequence of emancipation; and he urges that the planters, " with little reason, expected that the negroes were, at all events, to carry on the cultivation of sugar." Warming with his theme, he subjoins, it is not to be expected that men who can subsist in comfort without hard labour, will continue to devote themselves to it" Turning from the lyric to the de scriptive, he then draws a beautiful picture of a negro family living a life of listless ease on the produce of their little plot of ground, forgetting in his enthusiasm the state of the planter and his family all the while : " A few acres of ground will produce provisions for a family, with some surplus to sell at market, and bring home manufactured goods ; the negroes who earn high wages, buy or hire plots of land, and refuse to let their daily labour for hire. There is nothing in this singular or culpable." Rising then to a loftier flight, his lord ship says or sings : " Nor, were the damage to end here, would tl:e British Government have any cause to feel disappointment. Carry ing into effect the religious and benevolent views of the na tion at large, it was their object to convert slaves into free men ; to rescue their brethren of Africa from the lash of compulsory toil, and establish them as Christian men on the soil where they had been transported as chattels, or beasts of burden. On this, the principal question of all, there is, I am happy to say, no room for doubt. None of the most in veterate opponents to our recent measures of emancipation allege that the negroes have turned robbers, or plunderers, or blood-thirsty insurgents. What appears from their state ment is, that they have become shopkeepers, and petty traders and hucksters, and small freeholders—A BLESSED CHANGE, whief, Providence has enabled us to accomplish." P.m* . .er Knibh, brother Knibb, you have a formiS • h-re. We had no notion that. his lordship at at' expo-ition ; and should like much ~.„I.iendam at one of his field •preachings. There is a vein of tenderness in his style, which marks him a, a brother calculated to be powerful among the sis . The " coal-black roses" will flock to his private tatious, and gather unto his love-feasts. In a -ivisyquent verse, his lordship, we perceive, speaks toi etully of " an advance in numbers" among the black population—" under th institution of marriage." Stich being his choice of subjects, Lord John may be assured that he will never lack hearers ! • „ - 13 :It our readers mos; be marvelling what all this means. It is soon explained. Governor Light had applied to Lord John Russell for information as to the measures which Government proposed to adopt in or der to facilitate the immigration of labourers into Bri tish Guiana; and thereupon Lord John forwards him the despatch from which we have culled the foregoing flowers of rhetoric. The answer, in point of fact, amounts to this : that all measures which have been proposed, or which are likely to be proposed, for the introduction of labourers into the West Indies, will prove failures, and that it is of no consequence if they do. "Itis an important," remarks his lordship, with a lack-a-daisical air, "hut still A SECONDARY QUES TION, to consider how- we can maintain the natural prosperity of, our West India colonies, promote the cultivation of products for which the climate is adapt ed, and keep up, if not increase, the' consumption of British manufactures." The coolness of this is equal to anything Lord Palmerston has done : to go beyond the ,latter is impossible. So, here is a British minister declaring that the pro sperity of important colonies and the consumption of British manufactures are SECONDARY to the security of indolence, ease, and enjoyment to the African race. Hear his lordship speak again : " Let me, then, look at this question largely." (Oh !my lord, Oh !) "It is stated—l take it only for illustration — that the wages of a day labourer are, in Guiana, is 6d per day, and in Hindostan not more than 2d. When you should have removed to Guiana a large number of labourers, they are.still to be free labo urers ; th e s oil i s fertile, the climate invites to indolence ; the African race loves ease and enjoy ment, at least as much as any other; you have still no cer tainty-for your sugar crop. In the mean time, it is a mere matter of calculation to the capitalist what sugar will cost him to raise in Hindostan, to bring to England, and to clear of duty ; and whether, all this done, he can compete success fully with the Demerara planter. If he can, the sugar busi ness will rise in Bengal, and the Coolie remain at home ; the plantation will be found for the labourer, and not the labourer to the plantation. Changes in commeroe as great as this took place when woollen manufacturers came from Saxony to England, and fabrics of silk went from the East to France." - Of all the cants that ever were canted in this cant ing world, save us from the cant of the politico-econo.. mist 1 BRITISH GUIANA. (From the Guiana Chronicle.) -We believe we can now put forth the statement, without fear of contradiction, that brighter.prospects'never dawned on this province, than are now presented to the mind's eye of our proprietary body. The labouring population of the colony, it is. true, do not work as sedulously and regularly as they did in the day of coercion ; nay, we will go farther, and any, that they evince much laziness and fickleness in their various employments as well the labourer in the field, as the domestic servant. Will this indolence and unsteadiness continue? We do not think it. Let them but behold the work which they reject, or indolently spin out, eagerly grasped at, and in dustriously performed by, the rival workman from another land, and a different and opposite mode of action will be soon adopted. No sooner did the American immigrants arrive in Trinidad, than, from sheer shame, the former sluggard in the field, became the active rival of the new corner. The same beneficial result may be anticipated here. We are now in the daily receipt of numerous labourers from Bar bados,—and in constant expectation of the negro population of the United States. The accession of these, independent of their own exertions, will soon bring our peasantry to their senses. A year and a h alf of transit ion has gone by—the new freeman must now he taught that something more than mere vegetation is ex ected from him. Under all circumstances, • this country is now likely to be come one of the first sugar-growing colonies attached to the British Crown. Of boundless extent and inconceivable fer tility, a full supply of labour can make it what no other de pendency of England can become. In the other West lndia possessions, not only is great labour required in the produc tion of the staple commodities, but even with hands they ca n . not ining their produce to perfection, without the artificial accession of manure. there, no such auxiliary is required; the land of this province almost spontaneously produces the cane, and the labour of the peasant is only necessary for keep ing it el:Auk; during its growth, and cutting it down when fit for the mill. We speak not, of course, of the drainage ; but in this department, an improvement, likely to save much e‘ :1 t noilival labour, has been effected. t,,.1 at the addition to our population — at the • t sty ,if our soil—at the improvements hourly made • in machinery —we are fully borne out in asserting, that a great „ ea my awaits this splendid province. COUNTY AND POLICE ItATES.—By the new bill recently iiitroauced into the House of Commons by Lord J. Russell ,d Mr. Fox Maule, " for the further amendments of the ria i dg to the relief of the poor in England," it appears • iohition to tile enormous power already vested in the board of guardians of unions and parishes, under the poor - law - anienduient act, they are by the 26th section to have the pad ment of " all county ra tes and borou gh rates , and all rates wade in cities, boroughs, and towns, or in liberties and fran cnis,s, in nature of county rates, and all police rates," and they " shall have the - same powers, authorities, and reme dies.' as overseers, " for obtaining cont ributions fro m parishes I ‘.. the rehei of the . poor, and all precepts and warrants of J ,lsriees far the levyin2 - , collecting, and paying of county rates ex °wet rete• aforesaid." _ADDREFIR TO Toz aniTtRII EMPIRE OM' MOgr PAIITICULAnY TO YOliggitlam ? bmgoilionag, AZ4D LEEDS, IN REFgRUNCE TO 134 ANDY AND Mill, Last year when I took the liberty to address this great British empire in recommending the remedy which I had discovered, I did expect that great good would be done by it ; with respect to some neighbouring towns I have not been entirely disappointed, as the knowledge of the remedy has made great progress and has been attended by corre sponding good, but by no means equal to its merits. It is now five years since I first laid it before the public through the medium of the papers, and though it has attained to a great degree of usefulness, it has by no means attained that favour which it is entitled to. • There have been many striking instances of its efficacy since I was in Leeds last year. I will particularise only two ; the first was that of a lady in the village near my castle, who had an attack of the nerves which produced extremely low spirits and was fast verging to insanity. Every method in ordinary use which could be devised was resorted to without success. Though I saw both her and her husband frequently, and was almost certain the remedy would cure her, I only mentioned it and did not press them to use it : at length her disorder became so serious that I got the gen tleman to promise me that it should be used ; two or three applications removed the complaint, and I am happy to assert that she has been well ever since. I observe that those gentlemen who are the guardians of the public purse in the West Riding, have voted or agitated a vote of giving two thousand pounds for the enlargement of the Asylum for the Insane at Wakefield. Judging from the foregoing case, I do think that if they spent one hundred pounds for this remedy, and applied it to every inmate of the Wakefield Asylum, they would be able to discharge one quarter of its present patients cured in a month, which would prevent the necessity of the enlargement of the Asylum. During the prevalence of the late north-east winds, which sometimes were very severe, several persons in the neigh bourhood where I live in France, were attacked with illness, shivering or trembling, a violent pain in the head, the chest, and the side, and had difficulty in reaching home if at a dis tance. The first was my bricklayer, a fine young man in the prime of health and strength ; I saw him in about three hours after he was taken ill, but as they had sent for the doc tor, I thought it best not to interfere ; he was severely bled and blistered, and put upon low diet, which made him very weak, but I am happy to say his life was saved though his recovery was doubtful and slow. The second was one of my woodmen, and I did not know until they said he was dying. The third was a youth in one of the farms ; he was seized on the Saturday and died on the day after (Sunday). The fourth was a youth oh one of the farms which I have in my own bands, and which 1 visited on the Monday ; I was told that he had risen at three o'clock that morning, and had gone out to feed the bullocks, that he had been seized the same as the others, and had difficulty to get home ; that he was as bad as the youth in the neighbouring farm, who had died the day before ; that without a change they thought he could not survive beyond the following day. I saw him im mediately, and though they had sent for the doctor, as he was my servant, I would try to relieve him ; I therefore had his head washed or rubbed with the remedy, and did what I thought was necessary in other respects ; before I left the chamber I inquired how his head was ; he said the pain bad gone from it ; well then, I said, you are half cured. The second day after, when I visited the farm, my first inquiry was about the boy, the answer was, " Oh, be is quite well, and has returned to his work this morning." They said the doctor had not been, having been occupied elsewhere; the pain had left him the day on which he was seized ; the day after he was very weak, but he had returned to his work that morning. He came immediately to thank me for having cured him ; I told him all the return he bad to make was to do well his duty in the situation in which he was placed. He appeared highly delighted that he was well again, indeed, we were both very much pleased at the result of the application; he is a fine and rather handsome youth, and I considered his his case as bad as the first; the other two I did not see. Since I was last in Leeds, I observe that some gentlemen who have derived benefit from the remedy, have begun to publish one of my addresses in pamphlets. I have no doubt but the intentions of these gentlemen were good, but this practice is attended with so much inconvenience that I have determined to publish one myself, therefore 1-hope that no more pamphlets will be published. Six months ago I had not the least intention to publish any pamphlet for sale. but I think the public will see that there aie gi•eat inconvenien cies in publishing the results of this discovery in an imper fect state, for in consequence of these publications I have re ceived letters at my residence in France, which it would have been impolite not to answer, but as my occupations employ the whole of my time, when there, from five o'clock in the morning to the evening, it will be impossible in future for me to answer any such letters, and if I did they might be in creased to a thousand or more each year. And it is easy for any one to count the cost of such a number of letters, when I inform you that those which I received cost me upon an average nearly two shillings each ; therefore I beg leave to decline receiving any letters upon this subject either here or in France, as I cannot undertake to answer them, neither will it he necessary after the publication of my pamphlet, which I am convinced will carry consolation into every family where its precepts are put in practice, which I intend shall be printed in editions of one thousand each, the first edition published by subscription, at 2s. fid. each, the profits, if any, to be applied to a charitable purpose under my di rection. As I cannot remain long in Leeds, of course the publication must fall to the ground if the subscription is not prompt. I am, with true respect, yours sincerely, WILLIAM LEE P.S. This pamphlet, though simple, like the remedy of which it treats, would be as a family book of reference in case of sickness, in my opinion one of the most useful ever laid upon a table, and I write from the experience of ten years of the use of this remedy; but unless a sufficient num ber of copies be subscribed for'to defray the expense, I shall not send it to press. CAPTAIN DENHAM'S PUBLICATION. We feel pleasure in submitting to our maritime readers the I foll Owing extracts from Captain Denham's Work on the " Mersey and Dee Navigation. ' They contain much useful information, and the suggestions are truly valuable. "TIDAL STREAM. — The following abstract of a series of tests should be considered on approaching Liverpool Bay : At a 9-mile offing N. of the high land over ' Point of Air,' Flintshire, in 10 fathoms water, (sand and shells,) both Flood and Ebb set direct to and from the New Channel E. by S. and W. by N. at 2i knots on Springs and 1 knot upon Neaps; the flood-stream ceasing 20 minutes earlier, and the ebb draining 30 minutes later than the time of rising or falling upon the contiguous shore. This Mersey-influence upon the I stream predominates whilst your off-shore distance is not less than five miles, nor your soundings less than six fathoms. When, however, you have advanced Eastward, so as to bring Formby Point S. E. at 5 miles distance and 6 or 7 fathoms (muddy bottom.) act so as to avert the Ribble indraught, which here sets East, at the rate of 21 knots on springs, and 11 upon neaps ; the stream slacking 1 hour becore it is high water at Liverpool docks. The masking Crosby Light at night indicates your being in the Ribble influence. It is most important in thick weather, that if bound to Liverpool, you do not shoal your water below four fathoms, whilst running or turning up between Ormshead and the Eastern high shoul der of Flintshire forming the Dee entrance, or you will risk being entangled with the Chester Flats and West Hoyle Split, under the influence of the Dee indraught, particularly from low-water to half-flood drawing S.E." " SHIPPING PILOTS.—It would much facilitate this opera tion, and not only save immediate valuable time to both plr ties, but, in case of boisterous weather secure the pilot board ing before nightfall separates boat and ship (to the cutting off, perhaps, of even leading-in,) if the following hints were attended to. You observe a Liverpool Pilot-boat (described page 4 ;) if her Blue Peter is flying, she has disposable pilots —your pilot jack is up and clear to view ;—take notice on which side the pilot-boat's fenders are; that tells you which she intends to board you upon—brace your afteryards by, so as to reduce way, but not to stop it ;—if, as she nears you, her flag is lowered, the Master-pilot considers you have too much way—brace up your head yards ; understanding he is satisfied when his flag is close up again. It may happen, however, that he perceives you drawing into shoal water, or there may be some advantage in your being on the other tack ; this will be indicated by his shifting fenders over to the other side ; when you shall act accordingly, by wearing or tacking." " REMARKS AND PROPOSITIONS RESPECTING STEAMERS' LIGHTS, AND PASSING EACH OTHER; OR IN REFERENCE TO SAILING VESSELS.—NO general system of lights exists at Liverpool; some carry three lii;hts one at foremast head, and one at the fore part of each paddle-box ; some carry the upper light at the fore part of the vessel ; some carry a red light on starboard paddle-box, and a plain light at the oppo site paddle-box and mast-head ; some carry lights on their quarters ; some a middle light at the bowsprit end : all, how ever, attend to one rule, and that is, in passing each other on their starboard sides ; but I understand the reverse is ob served at other ports, which has naturally been attended with collision when a Liverpool vessel gets amongst them. Now it is to be wished that a compulsory general rule were intro duced • and I submit that three plain, lights, one on the fore mast head, and one at the fore part of each paddle-box, (not to throw any light abaft the beam,) cannot fail to indicate the position of the vessel. And as it is most important to know when the rule should be departed from (as in the case of two steamers suddenly' discovering each other in rounding a point of land, or closing in a fog,) I propose that the starboard pad dle-box light should be masked, so as to cross the line of keel direction, at an angle of 17 degrees, towards the larboard how. It would then be simply thus; if you ever perceive the three lights of a steamer, (which must be in a vertical triangle, if ever seen at all,) on your larboard bow, then you must star board your helms and cross to the right side, until respec tively on the starboard bow of each other. If, however, you db not see the three lights. it is certain you have so advanced on each other's forward track, as to have shut in the star board light; 'and if you attempt to recover the right side by It iiksieTteshpsei leer rt , ..;yaroteuv thewi o i u l l sr e i t a rs l sh l eo p . ur lotbe n l a i e t bx y a , na r d u o r n e i dn diagramt, each e n : do e h ee ax o cp t h h i aeivrne. ssel I T pl h a y , and enplan will e ap ar ly arnd the e e onyer t se s iy a . r_boffd th s e id , e m a se s o t life r u l e other side.cratt m and us t s e n a r a n l e l r casess , l c g a i n v e o , n , a l y y s ( u o g r g s e t s o t p , t i f a t riskingw i t a t s h e l a s l t ) e a ; m y e e r t it should be imperative that the sailing vessel show a light over her quarter towards the approaching steamer; of course, the showing the lantern in time depends on the look-out on board sailing vessels ; a fixed light on each quarter of sailing vessels would be well when in pilot waters. This is a point not at all settled, as regards Livery ol ; vessels at anchor, however, are expected to keep a light up at the fore-stay." OYSTERS. —The oysters of the British coasts have long been admitted to be the best procurable in Europe. The Romans paid great prices for them, although it is not likely that they would then be taken to Italy in a fresh state. Of the British coasts the districts most famous for their oysters are the shores of Kent and Essex. Those found near Milton, in Kent, and usually called the " native" oysterg, are perhaps the very best • white, with thin shells, which' are easily opened. The oysters found in they are small, round, plump, and the river Coln, on which stands the city of Colchester, in Essex, are also of excellent quality, and are renowned over the whole island. Massinger has made them classical, by causing Justice Greedy in A New Way to Pay Old Debts, to say that he, had nothing to speak of this morning before breakfast, except a barrel of Colchester oysters. The Coln, near that town, forms a great many arms and creeks exceed ingly well suited for the formation of oyster banks. The Dorsetshire. oysters rank next in estimation to those of Essex. Those of Poole, especially hold a high reputation , as do those also of F avers h am , i n Kent, of the Isle of Wight, and of Tenby, on the coast of South Wales. Vast quantities are carried to the Continent from Kent. Several hundred ves sels were at one t i me emp l oye d annua ll y i n thi s trade alone. In London, during the proper season, the trade in oysters is very considerable, both for exportation into the country and native consumption. The dealers bestow great pains in pre servingandf andeeding oatmeal. Besides rs ß it e i s t i u d b e s s , containing infusion Engiish of fsa waterlt shores, oyster banks are common on the northern coasts of Ireland. The Scottish capital has been, till a recent period; plentifully supplied vliediewinitihty. Nearlygoodoyste prsofproomsitte to LeithheFrithof,Ftohrethre, in its immediate was a large depot of them, formed around or near the Islet of lnchkeith.

Dublin is supplied from Arklow, a little to the east, and oysters are conveyed to artificial beds, near the capital, on the northern side. At Sutton, Polebeg, and Daltrey, places but a short way from Dublin, additional supplies are procured for the tables of the Irish metropoli tans.—London aritriell• INTRIIMOENCE, NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY, The southernmost portion of this important line pf rail way, extending from Derby to Masbro', near Rotherham, a distance of forty miles, was opened for the use of the public yesterday week. Half-past five o'clock, a.m., was the time appointed for the starting of the first train from Sheffield, but it was within five minutes of six before they got off. In little more than five minutes they reached the Masbro' sta tion, travelling along the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway ; and, after a stoppage of a few minutes, proceeded on to Derby. Their progress was, however, very slow, owing to the heavy rain that tell, which caused the rails to be very slippery, and to the newness of the engines. Instead of arriving about eight o'clock, the train did not reach Derby till some time past nine. The directors left Derby at a quarter-past nin,, and reached the Masbro' station by half past eleven. After staying a short time they proceeded on to Sheffield, and lunched at the Tontine Hotel. At two o'clock the greater number of them returned again to Derby, which place they reached in less than two hours, and they afterwards dined together in a spacious building connected with the station. The company's station at Derby is of vast extent and ca pacity. The building for offices measures not less than 1,050 feet in extent, and the platform for.passengers is co vered in with a very lofty skylight roof. In the centre of the area within the station, which is several acres in extent, stands the spacious engine -house. It is capable of holding at least thirty-two engines and tenders, and all the various lines of railway connected with it radiate towards its centre, where is placed a moveable turrf.plate, by means of which an engine can be turned upon any given line at a moment's notice. Tbe . whole is expected to be completed before the opening of the entire line takes place in June or July next. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH THE SOUTH. The North Midland line of railway from Derby to Rother • ham, which, with the Branch Railway from thence to Sheffield, brings down a line unbroken from London to the latter town, was opened to the public on Monday last. The distance from London to Sheffield by this route is one hundred and sixty-five miles, which will now be performed in about nine hours and a half, instead of twenty as formerly. The York and North Midland Railway was further opened on the same day, from York to Burton Salmond, near Ferry bridge, a distance of twenty-five miles ; from whence to Rotherham (twenty-five miles) coaches are started so as to make good the communication between York and Rotherham in four hours, and between York and London in little more than twelve hours, including time for refreshment, &c. The trains leave York at half-past seven in the morning, and half-past one at mid-day ; and from Sheffield or Rotherham there are trains five times a-day, direct to London and Birmingham, viz. at half-past five, and a quarter past nine in the - morning, twelve at noon, and at two and at six in the afternoon. The railway not being as yet available to serve the town of Leeds, coaches are appointed in connexion with it four times a day, viz. at five in the morning, suiting the nine o'clock train ; at a quarter to eight, suiting the twelve o'clock train ; at eight and at ten, suiting the two o'clock train. Passengers from this part of the country have there fore two points to run to, viz. York and Leeds ; and the advantage of the York line seems to be, that there is but twenty-five miles of road conveyance. The conveyances from this town with seem to suit best for direct communication, are the mail to York at half-past nine, p. m., and the Hero to Leeds at eight, p. m. which establish the route from Newcastle to London per the mail in twenty-four hours, and per Hero in twenty-five hours. Parties, however, who do not choose to run direct, can have the advantage of a night's rest, taking the day coaches from this town either to York or to Leeds. The trains from London to York reach the latter city at twelve o'clock at noon, and at eight at night ; and coaches leave York for Newcastle at two in the afternoon, and eight o'clock in the morning. The above communication is merely temporary, until the whole line is opened out to York as well as Leeds, which will be in the early part of July, when the time from either point to London will not exceed ten hours and a half. The opening of the Great North of England Railway from York to the Tees, in the latter part of the present year, will reduce the communication between Lon don and Darlington to little more than a twelve hours' jour ney. There is one thing in connexion with the opening out of these railways, changing as they will most completely the mode of travelling to which the public have been accustomed for years, to which it is necessary that some attention should be paid. The fares are, in our opinion, much too high, and, as compared with those charged upon the railways in this district, exorbitantly so. The expense of travelling by rai1..... ..... way to London is even greater th;in by coach. The charges upon the Newcastle and Carlisle line are extremely moderate, and the same may be said of the Brandling Junction and North Shields lines ; whilst the directors of these several companies, in their conduct towards the public generally, have in every instance acted with extreme liberality. The same cannot be affirmed of the directors of lines commun eating with the South, and more especially those of the Mid land Counties. The charges are not only high, but the accommodation is very inadequate ; and the public, we fear, will be compelled at no distant day to appeal to the legisla ture for a law to defend them from the extortions of mono polising speculators, and secure to them that accommoda tion which, in abandoning the old mode oc conveyance, they are so fully entitled to expect.—Newcastle Journal. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY—OPENING THROUGHOUT.—The line of communication between London and Southampton is completed. and was opened to the public yesterday, This affords another, and beyond all doubt, a finer and more delightful outlet from the metropolis than any that modern ingenuity and enterprise have yet afforded. Journeying by railway we measure distance not by miles, but minutes; and adopting this scale it may be safely said that Southampton, the Isle of Wight, and the charming neighbourhood of the New Forest, are now little more distant than Gravesend, and considerably more within our reach than Ramsgate and Margate. The traveller, urged by busi ness, or the tourist seeking change, taking his seat at Nine Elms at eight o'clock in the morning, is addened by the smiling beauties of " the island," or plunged in the depths of the New Forest, before the chimes of the town or village steeples in this far off and delicious regions, ring out the hour of noon. Three hours of easy travelling bring him half way down the channel, place him in the midst of the most charm ing scenery in England, or set him well on his route to Paris. Henceforth the relations between Southampton and London are changed, nor can the time be distant when the magnitude and national importance of the change will be as fully appre ciated as they are manifestly apparent.—Morning Chronicle of Tuesday. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY—OPENING OR THE SHOREHAM BRANCH.—On Monday the Shoreham Branch of the London and Brighton Railway was opened by the Directors, and on Tuesday morning the line was regularly opened to the public, the first train starting from Shoreham at 8 o'clOck, and returning from Brighton at nine. The trains continued running the whole day ; and no less than 1750 persons paid the fare. A great number of these pas sengers were visitors at the Swiss Gardens where a fete had been got up by Mr. Bailey, the spirited proprietor, to cele brate the opening of the railway.

CHESTER AND CREWE AND GRAND JUNCTION RAIL WAYS CONSOLIDATION.—We are now enabled to inform our railway readers, that this important and desirable arrange ment has received the sanction of both Houses of Parlia ment, the bill having been read a third time and passed, in the Lords, last Friday. As the two lines are now, for all purposes, one undertaking, the difference in the comparative prices of the shares in the two will, of course, at once disap pear, as all doubt of the success of the application to Parlia ment is now removed. (From the Railway Times.) Among the railways now on the eve of completion is that portion of the Birmingham and Gloucester line between Tewksbury and Spetchley. It is understood that the open ing will take place early in the ensuing month. The Essex Mercury, which may be looked upon as the semi-official organ of the Eastern Counties' Railway Direc tors, states that the opening of the line to the Brentwood station will take place on the Ist of July, the day previous to Fairlop fair. The same authority says the works at Shore ditch terminus are proceeding with great rapidity. It is expected that a portion of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, as far as Bridgewater, will be opened in the course of the present year. We understand that the works are pro ceeding with great activity. A correspondent informs us that the opening of the first portion of the Northern and Eastern Railway will take place at least two months sooner than was anticipated—namely, in August next. We learn from other quarters, that the greatest energy is displayed in the prosecution of the works. The directors of the G teat Western Railway have issued an official notice, intimating that the line will be opened to Steventon (within teu miles of Oxford) on the Ist of next mcnth. We understand that since the opening to Reading the traffic has greatly increased. WEEKLY RETU (Prop RN OF' nz the Rai , IP.assen. gers. rRAF Tway Cash. FTC OD rayazini P.mile pr.wk. 4 RAILWAYS NAME.

THE " ROYAL GEORGE."—Colonel Pasley began his pro ceedings for the removal of the wreck of the Royal George on the Ist of this month, hut up to this day (Monday) no thing very remarkable was effected. Two guns, the rudder, and a considerable quantity of timber were recovered ; but as these were merely those fragments of last year's work which the inclemency of the season prevented the engineers from picking up, no serious measures were deemed necessary till yesterday. At eight o'clock in the morning, the red flags at Spithead announced that a great explosion was to be at tempted ; and a t el even o' c lock one of those huge cylinders, which h ave a l rea d y b een d escr ib e d, an d fill e d w i t h 2,116 th o f gunpowder,, a, was l owere d t o th e b o tt om .

The diver having re mounted, and the vessels being withdrawn to a safe distance, the enormous charge was 'm • „,n t ited by means of the voltaic ap paratus. Within less than' spot t o t seconds after the shock was felt, the sea rose over the s or not quite half so high as p it e clic i r height of about 15 feet, explosions last year ; a difference on occasion of the great ascribable, probably, to the cylinder on the present occasion having der the hull instead of alongside it. The been placed nn - commotion in the water, however, was so great, as to ca use the lumps and lighters to pitch and roll at a great rate. The I lAc e surface of the sea for several hundred yards round was ' presently co iered with dead fish, and small fragments of the cylinder. Amongst these were innumerable tallow candles, and a mass of butter a foot and a halt' in length, evidently driven up from the purser's store room. As soon as the vast commo tion in the water had subsided, and the boats had returned from.the universal scramble for the candles and dead fish, the diver proceeded again to the bottom, and soon reported that the whole stern of the ship had been driven to pieces ; and that, so far as he could ascertain, there was now a free and wide channel directly fore and aft the ship, from stem to stern, through which both the flood and ebb tides will rush; and thus the mud with which the hull of the Royal George has been silted for half a century will be washed out, and the way cleared for Colonel Pasley's further operations. From the auspicious manner, indeed, in which he has commenced, we may safely predict his final success ; and we confidently trust that, before the season closes, spithead will be cleared of this grievous and long-standing drawback to its efficiency as a roadstead for line-of-battle ships.--Lomfon Times. 1391 90* 157 1141 241+ 26 22 161 34i 26166 SECOND EDITION.

Since our report of the 12th instant we have had very little Grain in coastwise ; and except Oats and Oatmeal, of which a fair quantity has been received from Ireland, the supplies thence are trivial : on referring, however, to our import note below, it will be seen, that from the north and south of Europe, including the American States, the arrivals of Wheat and Flour are unusually abundant, those of Barley liberal, and of other Grain moderate. At this day's market our local millers were mostly rather inactive ; but having a fair demand for the inland counties, good fresh Foreign Wheats, to which the sales were princi pally confined, fully supported the current rates of Tuesday last, and inferior 'descriptions nearly recovered the decline above stated . : English and Irish, at the same time, continued to meet little notice, without any material change in prices. Home made and Irish Flour being still neglected, must be considered nominally cheaper ; while duty paid Foreign mov ing off more freely, maintained the reduced terms of Friday. Oats and Oatmeal were taken very sparingly to-day ; the former at a slight depression from our last quotations, and the latter on the terms of this day se'nnight. Malting Barley, being without inquiry, was the turn low er; and grinding samples were in limited request at late prices. Malt, Beans, and Pease remained steady in value.

Od LONDON CORN EXCHANGE—YESTERDAY. At our market this morning we had but a moderate show of English Wheat fresh up : the finest samples were held in the early part of the day at an advance of Is. per quarter, which in some measure checked business, and before the close of the market last Monday's prices were readily ac cepted. There was not much doing in duty paid Foreign Wheat, and the value of this article underwent no alteration. Flour, both of town and country manufacture, met a limited sale at last week's rates. We have to report a liberal arrival of Barley from abroad ; but from our own coasts the receipts have been small : the trade in this grain was steady, though by no means brisk, and former prices were maintained. Of Oats the arrivals have been again quite inconsiderable, and we experienced a steady demand for all descriptions, at fully the currency of this day se'nnight. Beans and Peas found purchasers in retail quantities on previous terms. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

STATE OF SHEEP-STOCK IN THE NORTHERN COUNTIES. —The stock-masters in the northern counties of Scotland have not for a long period experienced such a favourable winter and auspicious spring as the present. The consequence is, that sheep stock in general, has not been in such good con dition for a number of years back—indeed it may be safely said that stock is a month in advance in condition to what they were this time last year, and abundance of lambs is cer tain. I had some conversation with a very extensive sheep farmer from Lord Reay's country lately, and he says stock in that country was never better in condition. We have the same favourable account of stock from Sutherland, also from the western districts of Ross-shire. Losses by storm have not occurred anywhere throughout the north, and that un welcome visitor, poverty, has not been so much as heard of. Hogs wintering on turnip have all left their winter quarters, and gone to the hills in very fair condition, with few excep tions. Turnips have now disappeared, with the exception of a few plots reserved for feeding stock for the south markets, and they are fast passing into the hands of the butchers. Sheep are expected to bring good prices ; there are some stocks in this neighbourhood sold as high as 335. per couple. Correspondent of the Inverness Herald. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—It will be recollected that, a few months ago, particulars were given of the death, by starvation, of James Forte, an eccentric character, and who was found in a dying condition in a cave near Farnham, formerly the reputed residence of " Mother Ludlam, a noted witch." This unfortunate man was of good family ; but from the loss of a beloved wife, his reason became impaired, and, impressed with an idea that he should live the rest of his life in a cave, he left all his connections and travelled about the country until he arrived at Farnham. During the interval that elapsed between his death and the holding of the inquest. a gentleman (a stranger) came to the Union-House, and requested to see the body ; he recognised it as that of a rela tion, and said he had left London, his place of residence, several months before, and none of his friends hal the least idea where he had gone to. When the inquest took place this person did not appear, nor did any one come forward to give the least information respecting the deceased. The jury returned a verdict that deceased died from starvation, and as none of the deceased's relations came forward, he was interred in Farnham churchyard. The remembrance of the occurrence gradually died away, but within the last few days a rumour was generally spread about that the grave had been disturbed, and the body removed. These rumours caused so much excitement, that it was considered prudent steps should be taken to ascertain whether they had any foundation, and application was made to the minister of Farnham for his per mission that the grave should be opened. On his cons'nting, the grave was dug up, and it was found that both the body and the coffin had disappeared. The object of this violation of the sanctity of the grave will, for ever, probably, remain a mystery, but the general belief is, that it was adopted by the deceased's relatives to obtain possession of the body, not wishing to claim it publicly when the deceased was first found.—Salisbury Herald.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 15.

During the week the Tea market has been quiet, and very little business done ; the market closes heavy at our quotations.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 14. Although the demand this week has been to a fair extent, the market is rather depressed, and the continued disposition on the part of holders to effect sales has caused a decline of Id per lb upon the lower and middling qualities of American; the recent import of Brazil being now generally brought forward, prices have given way id to id per lb ; East India is heavy of sale at previous rates. Speculators have taken 4000 American and boo Egyptian, and Ex porters 1000 American. 550 Sea Island, 100 Smyrna and 000 Madras are declared for auction next Friday.

As regards those of .Vheat and Fic-tir, however, the whole, or nearly so, have, for the present, been plaCed under bond, duties having been paid (since Friday, when the rates of import advanced to 16s Sd per quarter and les per barrel) upon only 00 quarters of Wheat and 770 barrels of Flour. Of other articles there have been released, during the week, 10,110 quarters of Barley, 232 quarters of Beans, and 35 quarters of Peas. With continued fine rains and favourable ac counts from the country generally as to the growing crops, we have had little animation in the corn trade, and the bias of most of the leading articles has been slightly towards decline : for none except free Foreign Flour, however, do we materially vary our last quotations ; this article must be quoted 6d to is cheaper, 36s 6d being a top price for American. Oats, upon a very limited supply, have been held with firmness, but few have been sold; the same remark may be applied also to Oatmeal. Two or three parcels of Barley, for grinding, have found buyers at about late rates, and most of the Indian Corn has gone into second hands (some for Irish account) at 395 to 405 per 4801bs. Beans are scarce and rather dearer. Peas as last noted. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 18. Butter continues to be bought up immediately upon arrival, end such is the scarcity, that several country orders are left un executed, Fine Carlow has commanded 118 s. Pickled Butter has pretty readily brought 1.12 s for seconds, and some ask 114 s. Higher prices arc anticipated for prime Beef, and Pork is not expected to be lower ; there is no demand at present for either beyond the or dinary requirements for ship stores. Bacon is in steady request at full prices. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MAY 18. There was to-day a small supply of Beasts at market; the de mand was brisk at an advance on our last quotations. Prime Beef sold at 7d to ;id, second quality 62d, inferior 6d to Sid ; at the close of the day the Beastswere well sold up.
