Ma. GLEIG'S NEW WORK, Chronicles of Wal-
thanz, appeArs to us to contain a most admirable develop-
ment of the state of those classes of society which it honestly
and accurately depicts, and affords much valuable informa-
tion, founded upon experience, and a practical acquaintance
with the subjects it embraces. As to party politics, there
are no such things to be found in the three volumes ; and
we really believe that the cry which has been raised against
the book upon this score is founded upon the fact that the
first of the admirable tales of which it is composed is called
The Farm of Forty Acres." We are quite sure that
every body will read the book, not only to justify, by their
own conviction, the reverend and distinguished author from
any malevolent feelings against the Government, but in
order to give themselves real pleasure and solid informa-
tioa.—John Bull.

FREDERICK WILLIAM 1., KING OF PRUSSIA.—
When the King had invited himself as a guest, he had at
times to pay the reckoning. One of his Generals, who was
noted for his parsimony, having declined the honour of a
royal visit, under the plea that he had no establishment of
his own, his Majesty desired him to order a dinner at the
hotel of the King of Portugal. This of course could not
be evaded ; the King was invited, but came with twice the
number of attendants the General expected. The very best,
however, that the cellar or kitchen could afford was pro
duced in the greatest abundance, and the King expressed
his entire satisfaction. The General sent for the landlord,
and inquired the price per head. " One florin without the
winc."—" Well, then, here is one florin for myself, and
another for his Majesty : the other gentlemen, whom I did
not invite, will pay for themselves"—" That is clever," cried
the King ; " I thought to take in the General, and he has
taken me in !" Upon which he paid the whole bill.—

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, NOV. 11.—The

impetus which the Market lately received still continues.
The sales to-day have consisted of Middling and Inferior
American, with the exception of 1.50 bags Surat, which sold
at 6id., and 300 Egyptian at lld. to 1224 d. Speculators
are again in the field, but the principal buyers are the
dealers and spinners. Prices have much improved.

Ann Mackenzie, aged about twenty years, chamber-
maid at. Redeastle, having been detected in purloining some
articles belonging to the family, was told on Thursday last
that she must return to her parents, at the Ness of Inver-
gordon. From a dread, it is supposed, of meeting them,
the unfortunate girl took poison the same day, of which she
died on the following morning.—lnverness Paper. .
ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—On Mon-
day last, the 2d of November instant, a poor sickly man,
named James Stuke, a native of Bandon, was accosted on
the bridge of Golden, by a drunken ruffian, named Connors,
whq demanded of him a tobacco-pipe, and Stuke having
none to 'give, Connors deliberately seized him by the body,
and proce.eaed to force the poor man over the battlements
of the bridge. He bad nearly succeeded in his murderous
attempt, when he Was prevented by a person accidentally
passing by, who rescued him from his grasp. The wretched
creature then found an opportunity of running away, but
had only just cleared the bridge when he was overtaken by
Connors, who dragged him to the water's edge, and by a
violent effort plunged him into the river Suir, and although
he sunk twice, still, by the interposition of Providence, he
was enabled to gain the bank—and weak and exhausted,
was groping his way to a neighbouring house, when his ruth-
less assailant, not satisfied with what had occurred, again
pursued, and was belabouring him unmercifully, when the
police, who bad got intelligence of the occurrence, came up
and arrested the fellow.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER A CLERGYMAN.—On
Thursday evening, an attempt was made to assassinate the
Reverend Mr. Banner, Protestant Rector of Bansha. As
Mr. Banner and his servant were returning from the sta-
bles, after seeing the horses fed, he was attacked by .five
armed men, two of whom broke in over a wall eight feet
in height, which they levelled in two places, and the other
two effected an entrance by forcing in an iron gate. They
knocked down the Reverend Gentleman, and then beat him
with the butt-end of their guns in a desperate and bar-
barous manner ; they also succeeded in wresting a pistol
from him. His skull was fractured, and his arms and body
severely bruised. They took the handle of a shovel from
the servant, with which he gallantly defended his master,
and broke it on his head. The tumult was heard by INlrs.
Banner and the females of the house, whose screams caused
the assassins to retire without having effected their purpose.
About half-past eleven o'clock the same night, two men
were arrested. A black silk handkerchief, with five holes,
to serve as a mask, was found in the hat of Ryan, who had
been a servant to Mr. Banner about twelve months ago,
and was .discharged for bad conduct.--Limerick Times.
