CITY, TWELTE O'CLOriIC.
The arrivals this morning are the French, Ostend, and
Dutch mails ; ship letters from Canton and Pernambuco.
THE FUNDS.
Money continues scarce and the accounts from Ireland
state that a great excitement prevails in money affairs, par,
titularly in the capital, and specie is being sent there, to
prevent a general alarm ; but we do not hear that the
Bank of Dublin has had any attack ; they are taking pre-
cautions, and limiting its issues.
Consols left off yesterday very heavy, at 874 4 for Ac-
count ; same for Money ; and opened this morning at 874 4,
afterwards receded to 874, at which price they are at pre-
sent, with a dull market. Exchequer Bills, 6 4 discount ;

HALF-PAST ONE.

The present Lord Mayor was, many years ago, one

BOTTLE POLITICIANS.—The Tories have been
amusing themselvos for several weeks past in " potations,
pottle deep ;" and with toasts, speeches, and congratu:a"
tions which would have made the world believe that Lihe"
ralism was defeated in every quarter, and that the ball of
public liberty was again at their feet.—Sherborne Journal.
Since our last, two more shocking deaths by burn-
ing have occurred in this city, making three within ten days-

Mr. G. Ullyor, of Gorton, near Driffield, has this
year reaped from half an acre of land, sown with Chevalier
Barley, as much as when thrashed produced 5 quarters and
2 bushels.—York Courant.
The following striking instance of ,superstition, it has
been stated on authority, occurred at the recent death of
a wealthy and distinguished individual of the Hebrew na-
tion—the wealthiest man in Europe. All hone of recovery
had fled, and it was evident his dissolution in.'s near, when
the medical attendant,, who was standing at the bedside of w
his dying patient, as surprised by a violent knocking at
the doors, (there were two doors leading into the bed
room), and on hastening to ascertain the cause, and silence
the noise, he found the brothers of the dying man nailing
the ten commandments on the doors of the chamber, es
a charm to prevent the entrance of evil spirits, at the 010'
ment of dissolution !
FATAL QUACKERY.—The following verdict was
returned on Thursday at Osbaldwick, near York :—" We
find that Mrs. Ann Clemesha died from the immoderate use
of Morison's Pills." It appeared in evidence that this
latest victim to a murderous empyricism actually dismissed
a well-qualified and regularly educated practitioner, and re-
sorted to the fatal pills. Their effect is seen in the death
of the deluded and unfortuate poor woman.
The Dundee Banking Company have resolved to

For several days past in the streets of Paris have
been seen parties of peasants from Alsace, who have come
up to be examined by the Council of ..ievision, as to their
fitness for entering the army as substitutes. Every Year
many thOusands of francs are thus paid to that province,
which is too poor to maintain its inhabitants.
On Friday evening William Garforth, aged ten
years, a pima at Messrs. Moss's cloth mill, at Armley, tear
Leeds, had the misfortune to suffer his apron to get elv
tangled with an upright shaft, which took him round very
quickly several times before the machinery could be stopped'
By coming in contact with other parts of the building
and machinery, his legs and arms were broken and his body
was literally dashed to pieces, presenting a dreadful 'Pee'

• `-'uUNTRY CURATE'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
Two Vols.

Smith, Lodon, 1836.
ter These volumes are of an ratnbling, desultory charac-
ft: containing sketches of Scottish scenery ; letters
°in clergymen on domestic matters ; dissertations on
tit .11
es, and on the hardships endured by Irish Protes-
"lnt Ministers in collecting them ; and attacks on Cob-
lett for his well-known " Legacy to Parsons." That
the work will be popular we will not undertake to say;
ant we doubt not it will have its " few and select"
dders for it is tolerant in character, plain and una-
ed in style, and snows the reading of the scholar,
and the hmeding of the gentleman.

THE

PARENT'S GUIDE. Darton, London, 1836.
A Very -useful book, of a strictly practical character,
and one that should be in the hands of every young

noise and simple, and expressed with a pertinent
brevity..

AL HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN.
PART. IV. Colburn, London, 1836,
Contains not less than three engravings, two of
Zll'-ch are portraits of the late Lord Saumarez and
'-'1 George Cockburn, and the third a sketch of a man-
°r"lwr, sailing in the midst of a dense fog off the coast
of Newfoundland. The engravings are tolerably done,
Which is the utmost we can say for them. The lite-
rary portion of the work is under the superintendence
of Captain Brenton, who is an admirable chronicler of
our naval annals.

ALMANA CKS.
We have just received a choice variety of these use-
ful little publications, among the completest of which we
may mention the " Penny" and " Threepenny" Al-
nranacks, published by Oliver and Boyd, of Edinburgh ;
end the " Golden" and " Victoria" Almanacks, pub-
lished by Howlett and Son, of London, one of which

COBBETT'S LEGACY TO PEEL.
Cobbett, London, 1836.
h republication, neatly bound, of duodecimo size, of
aof the latest, and most carefully written, of old
obbett's 'Works. On just hastily looking over it, we
zrte struck with the great force and vivacity of the
te3le, and the justness of the few images that are scat-

anicillarl when the nature of the subject is considered
yethsat it was written by a man long past his seventieth
Areßut Cobbett's mind, like Rabalais,' was active
unclouded to the last. Alluding to the absurd ap-
ell"siona entertained by some Tories, that Reform

Ocularly as regards the word " reap," which even
Wordsworth would allow to be imaginative.
