FORBES'S ORIENTAL MEMOIRS.—A new edi-
tion of this celebrated work is to be published in two octavo
volumes. " The author tells us," observes the Quarterly Re-
view, "that he left England before he had attained his sixteenth
year, with an ardent desire to see and note the manners of
foreign countries. At that early age he began the materials
from which these volumes are composed. His drawings and
letters occupied fifty-two thousand pages, contained in one
hundred and fifty folio volumes, the work of his own hands.
They formed the principal recreation of his life. The pursuit
beguiled the monotony of four India voyages, and cheered his
residence in the interior of that country, softened the long pe-
riod of his absence, and afterwards mitigated the rigour of
captivity, and the pressure of domestic sorrow." The appear-
ance of so magnificent a work, in the present compressed form,
will be hailed as a welcome accession to the literary world;,
for there is scarcely a subject connected with our Indian em-
pire which escapes the author's notice. It is to be edited by
Mr. Forbes's daughter, the Countess de Montalembert.

The late Thomas Telford, Esq., has left to the
Ministers of Langholm and Westerkirk 1,0001. sterling each,
in trust for the libraries of the above town and parish, the in-
terest of which is to be annually expended in purchasing books.
This celebrated engineer was a native of Westerkirk, not
of Langholm, as erroneously stated in the public prints.--

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, OCT. 30.
Our Cotton Market to-day has again been quiet ; sales 1,500.
Prices cannot be called steady under this dulness. The busi-
ness is almost limited. American 84-d. a 10d., of which 100
are speculation. New Boweds at 10d.

MANCHESTER.—STATE OF TRADE.—The mar-
kets this week have been rather dull, but the flatness does not
arise from causes to produce any inconvenience. The fact is,
that the manufacturers generally are in possession of orders
sufficient in quantity to occupy their time for two or three
months, so that activity continues in all the operative depart-
ment of manufacture. Scarcely any stocks are on hand.
The tribute in Kilkenny will be, nearly Two
Hundred Pounds. The sum already collected exceeds that
of last year.—Kilkenny Journal.
FIRE IN THE COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—Yes-
terday, this new and splendid building, so ornamental to our
city, was in great danger of being consigned to destruction by
fire, and from a cause strikingly analogous with that, which, it
As conjectured, led to the late disastrous occurrences in the
Houses of Lords and Commons. About two o'clock in the
afternoon the fears of the inmates of the College were aroused
by a strong smell of burning wood, and a strict search was im-
mediately commenced for the purpose of discovering the lo-
cality of the fire. After some scrutiny it was found that the
joists which support the floor of the Examination Hall, which
is immediately over the Museum, were on fire, and from the
circumstance of their being in immediate contact with the flue
of a stove employed to heat these rooms, the cause was at
once perceived and removed. Messengers were immediately
dispatched to the insurance offices with the intelligence, and
several engines were promptly in attendance, but the fire was
happily arrested without their assistance, by the inmates and
servants of the college. It is probably unnecessary to add that
the danger was occasioned by the overheating of the stove.
It was indeed a fortunate circumstance that the fire broke out
at the particular time it did, for had it occurred during the
night, it is mare than probable that this extensive and classical
edifice would have been utterly ruined. —Dublin Freeman's
Journal.
