The . writer was at Ico on the 9th of February, and he there saw families who, a short time since enjoyed abundance, begging from door to door. " They appeared," he remarks, " more like skeletons than anything else. Many are dying in the streets from want, daily : and the deaths were so numerous that the amount of mortality could not be estimated." Articles of the first necessity had risen to an exorbitant price. A quarter of flour, (half a barrel) could not be obtained for less than twenty-four milreas, or 12 dollars ; and buis cults, weighing half an ounce sold for 30 reas each. Salt, which a short time previous was sold at 8 milreas, is held at 16 milreas. In the districts of Inhumum, Croto, the Province of Parahyba, and the neighbouring country, excepting the sea coast, the distress was great beyond description, and the inhabitants were perishing of hunger in all directions.—Baltimore American. Lieut. Wagborn left London, on Monday evening, for Aden. via Trieste. We understand that Sir Robert Peel, the Earls of Ellenborough and St. Germains, and Mr. Gladstone have each forwarded their subscription in aid of the testimonial to Mr. Waghorn's services. An American paper states that six skilful Yankee boot and shoe makers were sent over in the Columbia for the express purpose of instructing the artisans of Liverpool and Manchester in the mysteries of peg soles. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We have had in this locality nearly a fortnight of very dry, and delightful summer weather, and so ardent a sun, (now almost ver- tict4l,) as to render the atmosphere sultry during the day. The country, however, although a good downfall of rain is exceedingly desirable, has suffered, as yet, lit tle, if any deterioration from the drought, and looks, on the whole, beautifully verdant and promising, —the dews of the night supplying, to a great extent, the want of moisture in the day. The corn crops, for the most part, give promise of a bountiful harvest; but we regret to ob serve that some of the wheat fields exhibit the inroads of considerable smut, a disease of the plant seldom remedi able, and injurious to the grain. The grasses are thick on the ground, but without rain will be short in stature, by running prematurely to seed. There appears no ground for the apprehension that the potato diseasa of last year —which was much exaggerated—will prevail to any seri ous extent this season. A considerable quantity of this popular edible has been imported from foreign parts, and appearances are in favour of a large and wholesome yield from our own lands. Turnips and other field crops also look well; and a few heavy showers -- which may certainly be expected, after so long a continuance of dry weather or a day or two's soaking rain, would redeem all, and realize, with a favourable gathering time, the highest hopes of the husbandman. Notwith standing the ominous accounts of last year's potatoes, a large quantity, of good quality, is advertised for sale in this town, at the low prices of Is. 6d. to 2s. 6d. per mea sure, according to quality or kind. IBRAHIM PACHA IN BIRMINGHAM.—On Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, this celebrated personage arrived at Birmingham rather unexpectedly, by railway, from London. On his Highness alighting from his carriage on the rails, he walked to the landing, where he was met by Charles Lawrence, Esq., chairman of the Grand Junction Company, and L. Mozley, Esq., one of the directors, and most cordially received by them... __The Paella idiot& hands with these gentlemen, and seemed much pleased at their attention. He then advanced to the parapet, stepped into a carriage which was waiting his arrival, and drove off with his attendants to Dee's Royal Hotel, where a splendid suite of apartments, heretofore used by mem bers of the Royal Family, and lately by the King of Saxony, were in readiness for him. After partaking of some slight refreshments, his highness appeared on the balcony of the hotel, smoking his magnificently-mounted long hooka, and seemingly much pleased with the journey. He was soon after waited upon by Mr. George Richmond Collis, consul to the Pacha's father, and who communi cated the necessary local information to the distinguished party. At half-past nine o'clock his highness and atten dants and Mr. Collins dined, and at an early hour the Paella retired to bed. On Sunday morning, at eight o'clock he breakfasted, and at 12 o'clock he and the whole of the above party left the hotel for the London and Bir mingham Station, where a special engine was in readiness to convey them to Leamington and Warwick, his highness having received an invitation to inspect the magnificent castle in the latter town. The Paella and company re turned at seven o'clock to dinner, and spent the evening in private. Yesterday he was expected to inspect some of the works in the town, and then proceed to the ironworks in the district. A prisoner, when lately called upon for his defence, said, " I have ordered a lawyer for to-morrow, and I hope your worship will be so good as to put it off till he cornea." —" Why, what can the lawyer say about it ?" asked the magistrate. " That's what I want to know, please your worship," replied the prisoner. EFFECT OF CIVILIZATION ON THE VOICE.—It is, I believe, a fact, and if so it is a curious one, that the dog in a wild state only howl's ; but when he becomes the friend and companion of man, b 5 has then wants and wishes, hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, to which in his wilder state he appears to have been a stranger. His vo cabulary, if it may be so called, then increases in order to express his enlarged and varying emotions.—Jesse. • THE WOOLLEN MANUFACTURE OF VE aVIERS.— There are 40,000 hands employed in and around Verviers, in the woollen manufacture. A population of 20,000 are resident in Verviers at !east. There are somewhere about three principal houses, that employ a large number of hands. I am sorry to say that the manufacturing classes there are not paid more than half the wages of the manu facturi g classes here ; and that they cannot provide for themselves from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, except upon very singularly rare occasions, any thing in the shape of animal food : brown bread and sour crout being their principal provisions from day to day. In consequence of their low wages, (and probably it is in consequence of the professedly cheap food that they have such low wages,) they are enabled to produce goods at a cheaper rate than our manufacturers are able to sup ply them in this country.—Summer Ramble in Belgium, Bre., by J. IV. Massie, M.D. A CONSERVATIVE'S OPINION OF THE WHIGS' RE TURN TO OFFICE.—In the House of Commons, on Fri day. Mr. Shaw, the recorder of Dublin, and member for the University, said, " he need scarcely say, that after sixteen years of public life in active opposition to Whig principles acted on, it was, in his opinion, better, more honest, and even more constitutional, that they should be done by Whigs. (Hear.) Her Majesty's present go vernment were powerless to carry any measure that could properly be called their own. But the moment they proposed measures which were opposed to all their former , principles a torrent of support bore them nearly in a headlong course, and with an impetuosity which they c n e e i g t r h e e a r t p r e a s r t t r y a t i n h a n t o s r a t r o e n g u t l h a e t esi de ( o H f e t a h r e , h h o e u a s r e . ) w e r l e f e t h o the l o d n ever again to collect 'the scattered elements of their strength, he (Mr. Shaw) felt persuaded that that must be done in the ranks of opposition: (Hear, hear.) He knew nothing else that could put an end to the painful scenes —the 'hearthurnings—he would not say the vitupe ration—but he would say the strong langnage—(hear. and lar4hter,)--to which recent events bad given r i s e. Such a state of things was necessarily painful to him and to his honourable friends ; and he would therefore hail with pleasrue the advent of the noble lord the member for London to office." CURRY POWDER.—Hitherto the manufacture of a superior curry powder has been confined almost exclu sively to the East. We have it now manufactured in town by Messrs. Ingleby and Cooke, of a quality un questionably excellent. It is quite equal to the foreign, and has been pronounced unsurpassable. We are extremely glad to find by an advertisement in our paper to-day, that Messrs. William Stodart and Sons, of London, are exposing a disgraceful system that has long been practised of attaching the names of reputed and esteemed piano forte makers to the most wretched and trashy instruments. To prevent imposition, we re commend all purchasers to read the advertisement.

The prisoner replied he should bring all his force at the sessions. He would, however, ask the witness if he knew whether this person was living? The officer replied she was dead, and the impression at Liverpool was that she did not die a natural death; Mr. Alderman Farebrother said he had a letter lying before him giving some account of the prisoner, and he was surprised the prisoner had adverted to it, as if be had any feeling it would raise recollections very distressing to him. The prisoner sailed fpr New York with his wife in the October succeeding their marriage in the Siddons, Captain Cobb, and the letter was written by a fellow-pas senger. She writes—" I did not see Mrs. Mortimer after the first day of our voyage. • I believe she never got out of her berth after the second day. I was introduced to her by Mr. Roberts, and she appeared to be in toler able health. I was in the next cabin, and as there was a large openinz at the top, weiheard very plainly what was , said in each other's place. A plain good-natured Eng lish-woman. in the next birth to theirs, offered to do any. thing for Mrs. Morthner, and was refused, tilt she was ashamed of offering her services. The first time when I recollect anything about them was when he - was drunk. When he got into bed, she screamed out, Mortimer, don't touch me.' Afterwards she cried, and, I suppose pushed him away, for he swore at her, and said, ' Let me once get my legs into New York, and I will mash you.' The time went on, and every one wondered that Mrs. Mortimer did not try to get up. .When she became so ill that her groans were too distressing for me to bear, I sent for the mate and told him, and the captain, I believe, saw her ; but no woman was allowed by the husband to do any thing for her. Two young women wished to go to her,' and they t said ' She is mad; it is of no use to speak to her.' She, hearing him, said ' I am not mad, James; I know what they say, let them come in;' but they were not admitted.

If a clergyman harshly and mistakenly refuse to baptise or bury a dissenter, where does he seek for redress but in the bishop's court. which enforces the discipline essential to a national church. Now a word as to charges. In the case adduced, the writer does not seem to know, what every old woman has heard of, that effects under £2O are not, and cannot be, subject to stamp duty at all. The hardest case that ever came under my own observation, and I have seen rather more probates and administrations than your - contempo- nary, was one where the effects were just £2l, and the charges £2 Bs. 3d., of which, however, £1 was stamp `duty on the bond, and 10s. on the letters of administra tion, leaving 18s. 3d. for fees to manure the hot-bed of sinecures which Mercury so touchingly deplores.
