A DIALOGUE at DONCASTER.

Two gentlemen, whose names I need not mention,
One day last week
Began to speak
Of something which enlisted my attention.
" Pray (said the first one), had you much at stake,
And have yo:1 anything worth while to take ?"
" Not much (replied the second),
When every thing is reckoned :
A half-a-dozen sovereigns, I suppose,
Barely enough to buy a suit of clothes."
"Barely enough for what ?" exclaimed his friend,
" You're out of reckoning there, I must contend.
A suit will never cost you that.
Wherever do you purchase at?
MOSES and SON
Would sell you one
For infiniteiy less;
A snit that you'll pronounce to be,
In point of style and quality,
A most superior dress.
Nay I would really lay a bet with you,
That such a sum would almost buy you two,
Six pounds, indeed, what next?

I was not cognizant, you see,
Of MOSES' moderate dealings.
I've dealt for years and years with one goad man,
Bu', positively, now, I'll change my plan.
Six pounds —let's see—if what you say is true,
MOSES for that would furnish me right through;
Yes, MOSES would supply for that
A pair of Wellingtons—a suit, and hat.
Thanks for the hint, I'll not omit to take it,
I want a suit, and M. and SON shall make it."

ESCAPE OF TWO CONVICTS.—WOOLWICH, SEPT•
18.—• Joseph Slater, aged 24, sentenced to ten years'
transportation for larceny and previous conviction at the
Stratford assizes, and Henry Palmer, cabinetmaker and
French polisher by trade, sentenced to ten years' trans-
portation for larceny, escaped from Woolwich dockyard
this morning, between eight and nino o'clock, by remov-
ing one of the bars of a window of a rigging house, near
the ground, when the tide was out. A sentry of the
Royal Marine Corps was stationed near the place; but,
owing to a high paling recently put up, his position did
not command a good view of the window from which
they descended. It is supposed they have escaped in a
canvass suit of clothes, as the greater part of their con-
vict dress was left behind. The convicts must have
contemplated their escape for some time, as the window
frame was found to be greased so as to open with greater
ease, and an inside shutter having been generally up,
they had better opportunities of making the preparations
witkout being noticed. The windows of the lower
range of the rigging-house ought to be built up with
brick, as they are seldom used, and two sentries placed
on that station, one to walk the lane, the boundary of
the dockyard wall, and the other to stand at the south-
east corner.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The Emperor of Russia has withdrawn
his troops from Hungary with a promptitude and
sincerity which are more calculated to increase his
weight and influence in the affairs of Europe than any
concessions of territory wrung from an enfeebled
ally, or any act of hostile defiance to the other states
which surround the frontiers of his empire. We are
not surprised at the haughty and self-applauding
language of the proclamations in which the Russian
Autocrat has thanked his armies and celebrated their
triumph. Nor do we regret that the harshness of
some of the expressions contained in these documents
should be such as to make the Austrian Ministers
feel how little such acts of friendship are to be
coveted or accepted. The Emperor Nicholas took up
arms against the Hungarian insurrection partly from
a desire to extricate the house of Austria from the
formidable difficulties which had been aggravated by
the open and by the clandestine enmity of other
powers. But the principal and decisive considera-
tion which led him to enter upon this campaign was
the extreme danger N which the possible success of
the Hungarian Republic, assisted by the most daring
soldiers of the Polish emigration, obviously exposed
the most unsettled portion of his own dominions.
Many thousand Poles fought in the ranks of the
Magyars. Dembinski and Bern exercised a degree
of control over the military plans of M. Kossuth's
Government which might subserve their own ulterior
objects, but which was highly unpalatable to such
men as Qeorgey, who probably entertains the wonted
aversion of the Magyars to their Samaritan neigh-
bours. These foreign auxiliaries had contributed to
make the breach between the Hungarians and the
house of Austria irreparable, by encouraging the de-
position of the Emperor and his race, because their
only hope was in total revolution.. No recognition of
the national rights of Hungary could have satisfied
them; but it was precisely the excesses to which they
had contributed which brought down upon them the
whole force of the North, and terminated the cam-
paign. Moreover, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh,
extending its observation to the rest of Europe, was
well aware that the triumph or defeat of the Hunga •
rian insurrection was not a question confined to the
frontiers of that kingdom. Its consequences em-
braced the whole of southern Germany. Already, in
October last year, Hungary had kindled the confla-
gration in Vienna which rivalled the horrors of the
Parisian days of June, when the Polish Bern and the
Saxon Robert Blum conspired to overthrow the
monarchical institutions of Germany in the heart of
tier greatest capital. However patriotic the inten-
tions of some of the Magyars may have been, their
cause was identified elsewhere with the explosion of
those frantic doctrines and acts of violence which had
so recently spread terror and destruction through so
many of the fairest cities of Europe. At one moment
the policy of M. Kossuth bad been daringly aggres-
sive; had he become undisputed master of Hungary,
it would probably, or rather perforce, have become so
again. The termination of the Hungarian war has
interrupted a series of calamities to which it is not
easy to assign bounds. But, whilst we express our
satisfaction that the blind enthusiasm of some of our
contemporaries has not been gratified at so enormous
a price as a prolonged European convulsion, we have
never concealed our regret that no other means of
averting it could be employed with effect, and we con-
cur with some of our habitual antagonists in viewing
with dissatisfaction the increase which has thereby
accrued to the power and influence of Russia. That
the fact is so is generally acknowledged, and no less
generally deplored, because we have yet to learn that
the armies and agents of Russia are to be regarded as
the champions of improvement, and it fares but ill
with freedom and civilisation if they are to be the
defenders of Europe from the most grievous excesses.
But to what cause are we to attribute this augmen-
tation of the European ascendancy of Russia, which
those who are so ready to call revolutions liberty ob-
serve and deprecate as we do ourselves ? Evidently
to the occurrence of those very convulsions which
their puerile enthusiasm was so eager to applaud;
and secondly, to the extraordinary position of British
diplomacy on the continent, which some of them have
the intrepidity or the ignorance to defend. What-
ever Russia has gained has been by the weakness of
others, rather than by her own strength—by
opportunities of influence which offered them-
selves to her more readily than if she had sought
them—by calamities which threw others pros-
trate whilst she remained erect, and which left
her mistress of her policy and resources, whilst
all the other continental States were without force '
and without will. In other words, the revolution
which paralyzed the other Governments of Europe
left her the more free to pursue her own course, even
against their aberrations, so that we may venture to
affirm that no combination of circumstances could
have been so favourable to the extension of the power
of Russia as that sudden and irrational outbreak
which swept away the habitual checks to her policy.
The Emperor Nicholas made use of his position
with great forbearance and moderation ; but, had his
ambition been of a more active kind, he would have
found that his most effectual auxiliaries abroad were
precisely those Liberals who professed the keenest
hostility to his policy, but who had destroyed the
sy stem by which that policy was controlled. The
conflict between a regular and absolute Government,
conducting its affairs with skill and secrecy, and dis-
posing of great military resources, and a fluctuating,
irregular, and irresponsible popular power, whose
resources are dispersed, and whose diplomacy is
in the street, can have but one termination.
One country, indeed, besides Russia, remained
entirely exempt fro:n these infirmities of revolution ;
the measures of the British Foreign office were never
taken with greater freedom from external pressure or
popular debility; and if they have failed it has been
not from necessity but from choice. Nevertheless,
even when an effort has been made by this country to
oppose or counteract a tendency which she disap-
proved, it has so happened that she has not only
' succumbed, but has actually contributed to promote
the result least acceptable to British policy. We have
seen it asserted that in the Danish mediation Lord
Palmerston succeeded in defeatueg the intentions of
the Russian Cabinet in the Baltic. A more erroneous
statement was never made, for the settlement which
was ultimately adopted was precisely that which
Count Nesselrode had sanctioned, and every impor-
tant point in the negotiation and the war was deter-
mined, not by English suggestions, but by Russian
declarations. It was well known that the Emperor
Nicholas was resolved and prepared to act, though
with reluctance, and that we were not. So also
in the affair of Moldavia and Wallachia ; when
England protested against the Russian occupation
and was even said to have fomented the warlike spirit
of the Porte, the Russian Cabinet simply took no
notice of our remonstrances, and declared it should
continue to hold the country. In Italy and Sicily,
when it, was found that the weight of England was
thrown on the side of the revolution, the credit and
influence of Russia increased in a compound ratio
with all the Governments we had estranged from
ourselves; and, to crown these exploits of our foreign
policy, our persecution of the interests of Austria
contributed to send her as a suppliant to Warsaw
until Russian armies appeared on the Lower Danube.
If, therefore, the Emperor of Russia has reason to view
his present political position with pride and satisfac-
tion, he may thank, in the first instance, those factions
which have weakened and convulsed the continental
States of Europe, but he owes at least an equal debt
of gratitude to that English Minister who based his
policy on the chances of these revolutionary adven-
turers, and at once threw aide the principles and the
power which this country had so long adhered to and
enjoyed in her foreign relations.
CHRONICLE.—That well known Greek motto
which is the first thing that strikes the eye of the
visitor who seeks health or amusement at the Bath
Pump-rooms, may have an undeniable local appro-
priateness—but, to the mind of a Londoner, it is as far
as possible from conveying a truth of universal and
unconditional application. To us of the metropolis
there is something of cruel and cutting irony in the
maxim that so obtrusively proclaims, though it be
but in a dead language, the virtues of the limpid
element. ‘Ve know " water," or what is so called,
under several characters—but in none of them is our
acquaintance with it of such a nature as to render it
agreeable to us to hear its praises. We are familiar
with it, first, for instance, as the nominal designa-
tion and supposed chief ingredient of that foul and
fetid ditch which, under the name of " River
Thames," flows backwards and forwards, twice
in every twenty-four hours, between London
and Westminster on the one side, and South-
wark and Lambeth on the other—charged with
the accumulated refuse of the dwellings
of more than two millions of human beings
We further know it as a liquor that is to be
ob!ained from certain parish pumps in the immediate
vicinity of grave-yards, whence it comes saturated
with the reeking pollution of countless corpses in
every stage of decomposition. And we are likewise
acquainted with it as an inordinately high priced
article of domestic necessity, which we procure in
insufficient quantities, at inconvenient intervals, and
of variable and (mostly) equivocal quality—which we
have to store up for use in a highly awkward and
expensive fashion—and which, by dint of boiling,
filtration, and other such devices, we 't:st contrive to
render barely drinkable, /Jere our Inc trorolitonknew-

AFFRAY BETWEEN POACHERS AND WATCHERS.—
On Satarday morning at an early hour seven or eight
poachers visited the preserves of the Earl of Sefton at
Altear. The poachers had just commenced operations
ei hen they we ro surprised by r. Warner, au l a number
of watchers, when a serious fight ensued, which termi
Elated in the capture of seven of the poachers. The n:en
were brought to Ormskirk about nine o'clock the same
morning; two of the gang were conveyed in a cart,
tieing unable to walk from the injuries received, their
heads beng much hurt. Mr. Warner, the gamekeeper,
was severely cut about the head, and some of the
wa•chers came in for a share. The prisoners were (x•
arnined before T. Brandreth and James Culshaw, Esqi.
and were remanded. The injured poachers are attended
by Mr. Symons, tho union surgeon. It is supposed all
the poachers are from Liverpool; several of them are
old offenders.—Liverpool
EMETIC TARTAR IN CHOLERA.—The French Patrie
has the following:—" After numerous observations made
on a large scale, a military surgeon at Landrecics has
published the following fact. Emetic is a means as
simple as it is prompt and infallible against the symp•
toms of cholera. On the slightest derangement of the
bowels, or inclination to vomit, although the vomiting
may have begun with cholics, with or without diarrhea s, a
sensation of coldness, cramps, the blue stage, headache, &c.,
an emetic taken on the appearance of one or the whet.-
of these symptoms united, in the dose of from five to ten
centigrammes, will make them entirely disappear in less
than three hours, or in the course of the day at the
latest. This fact is so clearly proved by evidence,
that if every person inhabiting an in'eett d place were b
carry about him a grain or two of tartar emetic, and take
it as explained above, the cholera will never attain any
gravity, and there would not take place one death in a
thousand cases."

CHOLERA IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON.—It was re-
ported yesterday, by parties who attended the Insolvent
Debtors' Court from the Queen's Prison, that the cholera
had broken out in that establishment, and attention is,
therefore, directed to a section iu an Act of Parliament
framed in the year 1843, which should be publicly known.
By the 15th section it is enacted, " That whenever one
of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of Sete shalt
deem it necessary the prisoners, or any of them, shall
be removed on account of any contagious or infectious
disease in the prison, or upon any other emergency, it
shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a warrant
under his hand, directed to the Marshal or Keeper of the
Queen's Prison, to order that such prisoners shall be
removed, in the custody of the said Marshal or Keeper,
to such other place of imprisonment as the Secretary of
State shall direct, such place being first reported by the
Marshal or Keeper of the Queen's Prison to the Secre-
tary of State as a safe place of custody, and fit for
the reception of such prisoners, and when such disease
shall have ceased, or the purposes for which the priso-
ners shall have been removed shall have been fulfilled, it
shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a like war-
rant, to order that such prisoners be removed back to the
Queen's Prison, and any place to which any prisoners
shall be removed under such warrant shall be deemed
during their imprisonment therein to be a part of the
Queen's Prison, and no such removal of any prison2r
shall be construed to be an escape."
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—During the whole
of last week there was much anxiety felt on account of
the absence of the usual American news, by which, in
some measure, business was disarranged. The tidings
brought by the last steamer have not, as yet, had much
effect on this market. Though Liverpool market is
expected to be higher, most of the cotton goods that
were sold in the Manchester market ye sterday went off
at a slight reduction. Most of the manufacturers, how-
ever, are firm. and have refused all offers, except at the
full rates. The market is exceedingly unsteady, and a
very trifling amount of business is being transacted.
Shippers are doing little, their business being confined to
actual orders. The home-trade houses are complaining,
and it is thought by some that cholera is preventing
many buyers from appearing in the market. Man-
chester, however, has been so favoured hitherto that this
cannot have much influence. Yarns and heavy goods
are iu no better condition than last week, and but very
few sales are effected.
SOUTH'EAbTERN RAILWAY.—We understand that
the directors have determined upon carrying out all the
important financial recommendations of the shareholders'
committee of investigation. The dividend to be declared
to-morrow for the past half.year—which, it is to be
borne in mind, is the worst six months of the railway
year—will be a reduced one. It is rumoured that the
dividend will be about 10F. or 12a.
LATE Flan AT CAMBRIDGE.—An inquest to in-
quire into the manner in which the late fire in this town I
originated was commenced on Monday last, at the Town
hall, before Mr. C. H. Cooper, deputy for Mr. D. King,
the coroner for the borough, and a number of witnesses
were examined. The further inves igation was ad•
journed till yesterday evening. The inquiry was insti-
tuted in consequence of rumours which were circulated
to the prejudice of character.
The orders for the Hecate steam sloop to equip
and sail with all speed from Portsmouth for the Cape el'
Good Hope, issued on Sunday night, were superseded by
others on Monday night, returning her to her former
state.
Pleasure is like a cordial, a little of it is not in-
jurious, but too much destroys,--Eliza Cook's t,Tournal,

Scarcely a cottage was to be seen unadorned by the
rose, the ivy, the dahlia, the honeysuckle, the holly-
hock, or the sunflower ; the latter enshrined in im-
mortality by the beautiful language of Moore, and its
symbolic illustration of constancy. Before we herd
this song, the sunflower had seemed the most unto-
ward of plants from which to extract a poetic image ;
it had been degraded, in our imagination, to the re-
semblance of a hideous old woman with a greasy
nightcap.
What charms are there in that uncultivated heath
at Walton— nature run wild in the pursuit of beauty !
Here Cupid and Psyche seem to kiss each other.
What iudescribable tints penetrate the eye! But we
must hurry on, for the Grand Stand is in sight, and
the Pindaric scene opens on the view with gay
streamers floating in the breeze from every stand and
tent. How different from the approach to Good wood !
To the latter we ascend by a kind of giant stairca,e
to the Olympian heights, where walking over the
sleeping Titans, stretching their huge lengths along
the Southern Downs, we reach the delightful scene of
the gods of the race-course. At Epsom the race
' belong to men, who travel by excursion trains at "an
awful sacrifice," and "unparalleled low fares." The
Goodwood stand is appropriate for the aristocratic
few, Epsom for the oligarchic many. Each side of
the Epsom course, for half a mile in length, was lined
by tier on tier of men in the sombre habiliments
which characterise our country, varied by the occa-
sional display of the more brilliant dresses of the
women. Vehicles of all kinds, men of all grades,
and beautiful women crowd to the Downs, just befcre
tenanted only by flocks of sheep, whom, if they could
not be covered by a sheet as a pack of hounds, were at
least covered with the material from which our
blankets are made. Popular and rustic amusements,
unknown to Goodwood, engage the attention and
delight the mixed multitude who flock to Epsom,
where the natural darkies and the artificial, in imita-
tion of semi-savage life, are especial favourites.
What an enchanting sight to an Englishman, and
especially to a Yorkahireman, from the vicinity of
Hambleton Moor, is the stripping of the noble animals
who are to contend, as eager for and as delighted in
the race as the bipeds for whose particular entertain-
ment and profit they are brought hither. The round
barrel, the broad and deep chest, the small head, the
slender neck, the powerful muscles of the hind quar-
ters, the springy tread of the foot, lighter than gos-
samer, are all conspicuous, as well as other beautiful
adaptations known only to the cognoscenti. In what
a profusion of rainbow colours are the riders distin-
guished, themselves rendered, by training, light and
corky, and ready to fly over the moon, if provided
with a suitable Pegasus. But no winged steeds of
fabulous times are wanting now to impart a charm to
the brilliancy of the scene which the handicap pre-
sents, with its valuable stakes, amounting to 8901.,
for the victor. Ten horses were put through their
paces, to incite the crowded betting ring to support
their favourites, and to challenge the field. Loud
were the bidders against the field, which indicated
either that some of the horses were great favourites,
or that the mathematical calculus had been brought
into operation to educe a large profit out of the long
I odds.
The new Derby course, recently constructed, now
gives the spectator from the grand stand a full view
of the starting and of the whole course of the flail
For more than half the length of the course all the
horses, save one, might have been covered by a sheet.
At Tattenham Corner the competitors began to sepa-
rate a little, skilful jockeyship was called into full
play, the power and mettle of each steed was urged
to the uttermost, and Kissaway came in first, with
the Maid of Masham second, and Mounseer the third,
the other seven horses having no place in the estima-
tion of the judges of the course.
For other particulars of the day's races better
authorities must be consulted. As regards running,
the Derby day itself could not present a richer treat
to the true sportsman. The initiative has been given
at Epsom by the spirited exertions of Mr. Dulling
and his supporters to add autumnal and spring races
to the grand summer display; and fresh opportuni-
ties and inducements have been thereby afforded to the
cultivation of the horse-race, in the prosecution of
which pursuit " panting nations toil after us in vain,"

GREAT TARE of PERcir.—Our Macduff fisher-
men, having dropped the herring, have betaken them-
selves to the haddock fishing, in which they have had
fair success; but towards the end of last week they have
had a fully greater number of perch than of haddocks.
The perch is rather a rare fish in this quarter. They
are generally got about the close of the herring season;
but never during the memory of the oldest fisherman.
have they been got here in such quantities. On Satur-
day last every fisherwoman had a good creelful; and so
abundant were they that they sold at about ld. a pound;
fish weighing two and three pound► selling at 2J. gad

PORT AND HARBOUR OF CLIESTER.—RIVER DEL--
A most important inquiry took place at the Town-hall,
Chester, during the last week, before two Admiralty
Commissioners. The object of the inquiry was to ascer-
tain how far the River Dee Company had carried out its
engagements respi cling the maintenance of a depth of
water for vessels drawing fifteen feet at high water of a
moderate spring tide, in this important and once flourish-
ing navigation. It is contended by its opponents, that
the company has embanked large estates from the estuary
'of the Dee, at the sacrifice of the navigation. The
meetings were numerously and respectably attended, and
among those present were Sir A. Dalrymple, Mr. Ran-
kin, and Mr. W. A. Provis, C.E., on the part of the
company; Mr. Henry Robertson, C.E., and Mr. Robert
Roy, secretary, and Mr. Marten, Parliamentary agent,
representing the Chester and Shrewsbury Railway
Company, and Mr. T. L. Marriott and Mr. Hamilton Fulton, C.E.. on the part of the shipping and manufac-
turing interests. The report of the Admiralty is looked
for with much interest by all parties concerned, and the
citizens of Chester are sanguine as to the Dee Company
being compelled to restore the navigation to its former
efficiency.
MELANCHOLY EYENT.—A YOUTH SHOT VIDAR.
RoTHEsAY.—On Monday last a party of young gentle-
men, who were out on a pleasure excursion from
Rothesay to Arran, were passing near to the vitrified fort,
one of the company, intending to signal another boat
that left at the same time, took a gun from the den for
the purpose of firing it, when it unaccountably went off,
and lodged its fatal contents in the neck of the unfortu-
nate
youth, causing instant death. This painful event
has caused considerable sensation and sympathy for the
respected family of the deceased. All who knew him
regret
the loss of one so promising, and in all respects
so amiable as he is said to have been. Ile was about 17
years of age, the eldest son of James 11. Semple, Ebq
hanker, and was on the eve of leavirg the parental roof,
for
a highly-respectable situation in London. We trust
this instance of the danger resulting from the injudicious
use of fire-arms will not be lost upon all. It is melan-
choly to think on the loss of ao many valuable lives from
similar causes, and especially at the licence given to
youths to carry fire-arms. It would be an act of hu-
manity, and spare the anxious fears of many a parent
could measures be adopted to prohibit those under 20
years of age, at least, from handling such deadly and
dangerous weapons.—. North British .Mail.
DUNBAR HERRING FISHING, SEPT. IJ.—After
every ouo believed the fishing to be over, and many of
the boats bad been drawn up for the season, the fish
have set in as abundant as ever, and for the last three
days the boats have come in nearly full. The mer-
chants are purchasing them at three shillings per cren.
The shoal is so large, that, had even one-half of the
boats which attended this station during the season been
present now, there would have been little or no room to
work up the fish. They are young sad of exceliqt
quality.—Caledonian Mercury.
