AGRICULTURE PROMOTED BY NATIONAL UNI• FORMITY OF GUAGE.—The Railway Guage question, now exciting so much public attention, has a bearing on agricultural interests more important than is apparent at first sight. The influence of that increased facility which railways offer for the exchange of local mineral produce —the transfer of the coals from the north into the south, the fuller's earth of Surrey into the cloth districts of Yorkshire, and the flints of Kent into the Potteries of Stafford and Worcester—cannot yet be said to be felt. The transit of agricultural produce is beginine to ernfluce its effects. Even this last week it has been re;at:, ~,,a. the Eastern Counties Railway, throughout its course in Essex, is generating a trade for supplying the metropolis with pure milk. Since the opening of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, numerous shops have been established in London for sup.. plying Devonshire cream, poultry, &c. You may now, in fact, have clotted cream with your coffee at breakfast every morning as fresh in London as the inhabitant of Exeter himself. The effect of this on prices has been very great, particularly in the neighbourhood of the Great Western Railway. The half-pay officer at Ply_ mouth and Exeter is beginning to grumble that the eco. nomical charges hitherto recul;ar to those spots are va- Wshing. A poulterer in Exeter lest year told us boy grievous a thing it was that he bad a long contract with the principal inn at Exeter, to supply it all the year round with fowls at a guinea a dczen, now that he co u ld send them by railway to London, and in the season realize five and six shillings a couple !^ Again the market. garueners auvtiv .L.cn n timer market for their produce among the Brighton visiters in the winter and autumn than they do in Covent Garden it self,and transport their vegetables accordingly to Brighton.

MEETING OF STONEMASONS. A. special meeting of stonemasons was held at the George the Fourth Inn, Hood•street, last evening, on business of importance, as it was alleged, connected with the trade. The meeting, which was attended by about 150 masons, was conducted in private. Mr. Steadman occupied the chair. After a long discus sion, a resolution was passed to the following effect, that the meeting denied the statements recently put forth by the master builders, and were determined to have 275. per week, being is. in addition to their former wages, and to have half an hour for refreshment at four o'clock in the afternoon, before they resumed employment with those masters who had turned out their men for refusing to sign the document. A second resolution was passed, to the effect that if the foregoing resolution was displeasing to the masters, a deputation of the turned-out body should confer with them as to the propriety of adopting other and better terms. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE THE INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL.—The schooner Freak, Captain Long, arrived off Falmouth, on Saturday, from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the 4th instant. This vessel brings intelligence that at length the much dreaded crisis so long anticipated had arrived, the banks and all the public companies having tobacco contracts, &c., had suspended their payments, and paper was made a legal tender. Should such a state of things continue long, it was feared one-half of the trading population of the coun try would be ruined. No ministry had been completely formed, though the Duke de Palmella continued Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mousinho d'Albu querque Minister of the interior. Saldanha and Soure were expected to join. The city was perfectly quiet, but the revolutionary party, who were about 16 miles distant, were coming in, and threatening to enforce their own views and wishes. The steam-packet was expected to sail from the Tagus on the 10th instant. DROUGHT AND FAMINE IN NORTH BRAZIL.—A let ter received by a gentleman in this city, dated Aracaty, February 20, gives a heart rending description of the suf ferings of the inhabitants of pot tions of Northern Brazil. At Aracaty. in consequence of the protracted draught, the trees were withering, and the people famishing for want of food.—The writer says—" Should the drought conti nue until May or June we shall have few persons left here. They have already begun to flack to Pernambucco, the capital; and if opportunity offers all that remain will immediately follow. 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.

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 . . tical,) 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, hut without rain will be short in stature, by running prematurely to seed. There appears no ground for the apprehension that the potato disease 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 ram, 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 1N BIRMINGHAM.-011 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, be walked to the landing, where he was met by Charles Lawrence, Esq., *chaiiman of the Grand Junction Company, and L. Mozley, Esq., one of the directors, and most cordially received by them. The Pacha shook 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 Pacha 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 Pacha 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 ti!! he comes." —" 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 howls ; but when he becomes the friend and companion of man, he 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 VERVIERS.— There are 40,000 hands employed in and around Verviers, in the woollen manufacture. A population of 20,000 are resident in Verviers at least. 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 facturing 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. irc., by T. W. 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 could neither restrain nor regulate. (Hear, bear.) If the once great party that sat on the side of the house were 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, heir.) He knew nothing else, that could put an end to the painful scenes—the heartburnings—he would not say the vitupe ration--but be would say the strong language—(hear, and laughter,) —to which 'recent events had given rise. 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.

Mr. Shuttleworth, a gentleman residing at Chelmsford, produced a certificate of the marriage of the prisoner on the 27th of June, 1839, to Mrs. Josephine Langhorne, a widow, at St. Giles's Camberwell. He compared it with the original, and it was a true copy. He was present at the marriage, and knew Mrs. Langhorne well, being his wife's sister. He knew she was living so recently as the 22d of March, being well acquainted with her writing, and having a letter in his possession written by her. It bore date New York, March 22d, and the New York post mark of the 29th. It reached England about the IGth of April, and was addressed to her mother. It described the distress she bad suffered through her connexion with the prisoner. Mr. Alderman Farebrother asked the prisoner if he wished to put any question to the witness. The prisoner said he did not. He knew nothing about it. Mr. Alderman Farebrother said he was aware he mar ried this lady. Prisoner said yes; but he was aware she was dead ; at least he was informed so. Mr. Alderman Farebrother was afraid he did not take much trouble to ascertain. Robert M`Kenzie, B 5 police-constable, produced an extract from the register of marriages at St. Philip's Church, in the parish of Liverpool, showing the marriage of the prisoner to Miss Mary Susanna Lovejoy, of Liver pool, on the 22nd of June, 1844. He had seen sliss Caig, the bridesmaid, who would come from Liverpool, to iden tify the prisoner. Mr. Alderman Farebrother asked if he would put any question to this witness. The prisoner replied he should hung 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 for 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 opening at the top, we heard 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. Mortimer, and was refused, till 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 s into New York, and I will mash you.' d every or.e wondered that Mrs. When she became so ill once get my I€ s The time went on Mortimer did not t . - 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 told me that he 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. As I was lying awake at night I heard her say, ' Lord have mer-,' Christ save -,' and such broken sentences ; and my children, who could hear better, being even with her bed, said she talked queerly, but that was only 24 hours before her death. Mortimer was never up with her for one night, for the night before she died she exclaimed, Oh, Morti mer, I shall die, I shall die,' and he doggedly replied, Die, then.' Thus she would beseech him,—' Dear, dear James, take me out of this place;' but still no one was allowed t- •-• it was h- A 3 go in. __ beyond description paintut to me to lie and hear her painful groans, which resembled the howlings of a cat. The last night she lived, in rather a stronger voice than I expected, she said, ' Turn me, James—l am dying.' He was asleep by her side, and in reply he said, ' What do you want ?' Some time after I heard another faint groan, and at the time said to myself, That is much like a rattle in the throat.' I had been much disturbed night and day, and I fell asleep. At eight o'clock the next morning the boy who waited on us came and told us Mrs. Mortimer was dead and overboard. How much I was shocked I need not try to tell. The same day Mortimer was walking about the ship, with her gold watch on his neck, an object of suspicion and dislike to all on board. I was told he was ransacking her trunks before I knew of her death, and at night he had a man in his cabin, with whom he was laughing and chuckling about the watch and other valuables. I did not see him throw the deceased's dog overboard, but the sailors did ; and you may rely upon it deceased was not sewed up in any rug. He did ask the English woman to dress her in a night gown, &c. ; but she replied, ' No, you would not let me do anything for her while living, and now she is dead you may do the rest yourself.' I heard that she had a clean gown, cap, shift, and stockings put on. This is the plain account, so far as I know anything about it. I do not give any opinion on the tale. I only add, that he was an object of detestation to all, and walked about the vessel looking like—what he is, a very bad being in a human shape." This letter was written by Mrs. Sarah Shearman. Mr. Caldecott, of Clapham, proved the marriage of the prisoner to Mrs. Wright, a widow, at Shoreditch Church on the 9th of June, 1845. She is now living in Dublin. This gentleman had a letter from the prisoner's brother, in which it was stated that the prisoner has three wives now living in New York. As we have already stated, he is supposed to have two wives living in Dublin, one in Roscommon, and one (who is passing by her previous name of Holmes) somewhere in London. The policeman produced the register of this marriage, and Mr. Shuttleworth proved that his sister-in-law, who was married in 1839, is still living. The prisoner was committed on these two cases of bigamy, and also upon the charge of stealing a box con taining some clothes, and also stealing 21 soverigns, the property of Mrs. Loyer, who caused the prisoner to be apprehended. No new evidence was offered for the pro secution, but the prisoner did not let slip the opportunity of annoying Mrs. Loyer by cross-examining her about an old Mr. Higginbottorn, to whom she owed £5OO, and about her indiscretions at Paris, when she was assisted to bed by a gentleman who was employed as their translator. The prisoner, who had spent a shilling in having his hair dressed that morning, that he might make an impres sive appearance at the bar, seemed to have quite recovered his spirits, and to be quite at ease, either because he con siders his fate to be sealed and that it is useless to repine, or because he feels sure that he shall escape. It is sup posed that a wife is living whom he married before the widow Langhorne in 1839, but if the prisoner establishes this by way of defence, the same evidence will sustain a new indictment for bigamy in marrying Mrs. Langhorne. The prisoner applied for the return of some money and new clothes the officer had seized. Mr. Alderman Fare brother refused to give them up. considering that the clothes were bought with Mrs. Loyer's money, and that the money was the remainder of her 21 sovereigns. MILITARY SERVICE.—A warrant has been issued by the Secretary at War, which curtails the prescribed period of military service. Hereafter a man may enlist for as short a period as seven years. JEWISH FREEMASONS : IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE GRAND LODGE OF ENGLAND.—The Grand Lodge of England has, after a correspondence and remonstrance, conducted by the Earl of Zetland and the Grand Secre tary, resolved to withdraw their representative from the Grand Lodge at Berlin, in consequence of the refusal of the Russian lodges to admit Jews to their meetings, though such Jews have diplomas of the Grand Lodge of England. The representative of the Grand Lodge of Berlin, in this country, is to be informed that he can no longer be ac knowledged or take his seat in the Grand Lodge of Eng land in his official character of representative. NEW TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS.—It is said that Cunard's company have contracted for three new immense steamships. They are to be about 2,000 tons register each ; the length of keel and forerake is to be 250 feet; the length over all, 280 feet ; the breadth of beam forty feet. They are to be built of timber by Messrs. Robert Steel and Co. of Greenock ; and the engines, of about 700 horse-power each, are to be supplied by Mr. Robert Napier, of Glasgow. In order to show the great s'ze of these vessels, we may slate that the Cambria and Hibernia are only 220 feet keel, 245 feat over all, and 36 feet breadth of beam ; while the engines do not exceed 500 horse power each. The Britannia, Acadia, and Caledonia are still smaller, being no more than 205 feet keel, 225 feet over all, and 34 feet beam ; with engines of only 450 horse-power. It is also intended, it is said, by the same enterprising company, to order a new iron steamer, of the same splendid dimensions as the three wooden ones now about to be laid down. THE POISONING CASES IN NORFOLK.--In the House of Commons on Friday, Sir James Graham, in reply to a question put by a member, said that " he had received no report relative to these cases. No less than twenty per sons had died, there was every reason to believe, from poison administered by one individual ; and yet in no one of those cases had an inquest been held. Now, by law any person having reason to think that a death had oc curred under suspicious circumstances, was entitled to call on the coroner to hold an inquest.. But within the last few years there had arisen a disposition to dispute the payment of the charges of coroners ; and the result was that inquests had not been held in a great many cases in which, in his opinion, they ought to have been held. He understood that the magistrates of Devon had come ttf a resolution not to allow the expenses of coroners in cases in which verdicts of " Died by the visitation of God" had been returned. (Hear, hear.) The consequence was, that a coroner of that county had refused to hold an inquest in a case at Ilfracombe, in which it was alleged that an in quest ought to take place. The refusal of the coroner was at present under the consideration of the Court of Queen's Bench. But he (Sir James Graham) should repeat that, in his opinion, that determination not to allow the ex penses of coroners had operated most injuriously with reference to the performance of the duties of those officers. It certainly appeared to him that the law as it at present stood ought to be more generally carriedi nto effect.

SHAKING CARPETS.—This process, which is very entirelittle understood, and d d t m s, uc r h ug t s o , p s, re c s . e , rv i e s Performed in great perfection by Mr. Dobson, whose advertisement will he found in another column.

Pray has not the Court of Chr. - under similar circumstances, viz_ the course of proceedings. He likewise Int,. judges, somewhat to their surprise, that they hold at the pleasure of the patron who appoints them; more than that, that their nominator, i. e. the bishop, is interested in almost every question brought before them, an amount of matrimonial and testamentary rapacity more befitting a Mahometan pasha, or a retailer of masses, than a Christian prelate. _ _ ers by ventu lys the eccit cery a simile that of a c, He likewise complains that the practitioners in these courts are all members of the National Church, and that sectarianism is not fairly represented. Now really, ad mitting the fact, I do not see very well how it is to be ob viated. It was an old charge against our nation, that the English had a hundred religions, but only one sauce; and with all regard to the unlimited freedom of conscience think the public would complain were every• sect, ing Mormonites and Socialists, to have a proctor repre senting its interests and litigating on their behalf. And as to the practical effects of the system, does the writer really believe, or expect his readers to believe, that these courts prosecute for heresy or opinions of any kind ? It is true they exercise jurisdiction over the clergy whose tenets are part of their profession. But is he ignorant that courts martial also exist for' the government of the am- , I includ. and navy, and that they can try, ruin, or shoot a man for being a coward, a bad sailor, or oven for being sleepy ? 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 rary, was one where the effects were just £2l, and the charges £2 Ss. 3d., of which, however, £1 was stamp duty on the bond, and 10s. on the letters of administr, tion, leaving 18s. 3d. for fees to manure the hot-bed sinecures which Mercury so touchingly deplores. We promise ourselves here much amusement and origi nal information when your contemporary comes to the somewhat difficult subject of Bona Utabilia, or Notabilia, as writers of less authority have it; and if the tracts puffed in his article are by the same hand, Punch may shut up his shop and sell his type. „. The writer generously pronn!es to do more ju the subject next week. I defy him to do It I remain, ye , tice to r obedient servant, CESTRENSIS. Chester, 13th June, 184( LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

It struck us as a strained effort throughout, the singer having to compete for a hearance with the rather too - obstrepoious accompaniment of : the band. tinder the circumstances, however, the fair song stress acquitted herself wonderfully. She possesses a fine voice, of great volume and richness, and we ll cultivated and during the other pieces in which she took part, showed what she could have done with this, her only solo. Monsieur Sainton next played a concerto of his own com position, and certainly showed himself not the least amongst the possessors of that difficult and beautiful in strument, the violin. We shall institute no comparison between him and the few other eminent violinists, who have of late years appeared before the British public. is a style completely removed from the Paganini and Si vori school. Although equal to the most celebrated of his contemporaries in finish of touch and elaboration, there is less of the merely tricky in his playing, and more of pure tone. His bowing is admirable, and reminds us far snore of the old English school than of the modern, which seems only to aim at surprising effects and the sur mounting of self-imposed difficulties. Miss Bassano's recitative and aria, " La Clemenza di Tito," followed, and was most chastely sung. Miss Bassano, possesses great powers, and her execution of tilts and the other composi tions in which she appeared was much applauded. We ought not to Omit the corni di bassetto accompaniment of Master Sorge, which, except in one or two instances, where he was thrown out by the singer, was very meri torious. In a cantata, from Beethoven's Adelaide, Herr Pischek fully justified the admiration with which he was listened to in his duet with Knispell. The closing piece of this part of the evening's entertainments were a trio in " and o f Pi t l i c e h s e e k e , 0 w n d h i p c r w t o a s f c t charminglym s a u n n e g e Don Giovanni," by M a d ame K n i spe l and Herrs Knispell the gems were the aria " Die Fanenwacht,' by Herr Pi sc h e k ; t h e d uet from Mozart, by Nladatne Knispel and Miss Bassano ; and the national melodies of Bohemi a , by Herr Pi sc h e k. The latter was received with universal delight. On the whole, we have seldom been present at a concert, even of this society, which gave more general satisfaction than the concert of Wednesday last. The new pier at Beaumaris was opened last week. On Saturday the owners of twenty-seven dogs were fined five shillings each for allowing the animals to be at large in the recent hot weather. The fare to the beautiful ferry and village of Eastham has been again reduced, and is now only threepence. The new steamer, the Royal Tar, performed the distance be tween George's Pier and the ferry the other day —seven miles—in sixteen minutes. SUGAR.—A petition, which received 421 signatur was forwarded from this town last week to Sir R. Peel presentation. It prayed the house "to apply the sa sound commercial principles to sugar which they have plied to the importation of foreign grain and manuf tures."
