THE M6ous:—Accounts have gone abroad, that the

ame of this year have suffered so much from " tape-
worm," that they afford poor sport, and that many of them
are not " eatable." The results of the numerous inquiries
made as to the state of extensive moors lying widely apart,
coincide in pronouncing the above doleful story either the
jest of a wag, or the complaint of some tyro who has not
succeeded in throwing salt on their tails. The fox's opinion
of the grapes he could not reach explains how the moor-
fowl are not eatable. At ne 12th of August, for the last six
years, have the birds here been so numerous, or so strong on

That of all the twenty-seven, only THREE are directors, or
belong to the central or general committees of those institu-
tions : one of which (the London Missionary Society) raised
no less a sum than £BO,OOO last year ; and the other (the
Baptist Missionary Society) £26,000 during the same period
—those three being the Rev. Richard Fletcher, the Rev. R.
Halley, and the Rev. John Waddington.
NOT ONE subscribes to " The British and Foreign Bible
Society," and only two take any active part in its interests.
But one subscribes to " The Religious Tract Society,"
which the Dissenters boast so much of supporting, and are in
the habit of eulogising to the skies.
We next examined the lists of another association, which
Dissenters once supported, it being then of a mixed charac-
ter,—we mean " The London Society for promoting Chris-
tianity amongst the Jews." Remembering the origin of this
association, and the debt and difficulties into which it fell
whilst under Dissenting direction, we could not help be-
lieving that these leaders of the Dissenting Bread movements
would be found amongst the subscribers to a society, which
they pronounced to be godlike and sublime. But once more
we were disappointed. With the sole exception of Mr.
Fletcher of Manchester, not one of tna twenty-seven satellites
have ever contributed to the " Jews' Society ;" and of course,
therefore, none of them belong as secretaries, presidents, or
even as committee-men, to the auxiliary societies
_or associ-
ations established in its behalf.
" But," it may be replied, " although the leaders of this
movement were, generally speaking, of second or third-rate
standing among Dissenters, they have been joined by others
of vast importance; so much so, that on the 9th of August
the Patriot published a list of 250 ministers of the Gospel
who had signified their intention to be present at the confer-
ence on the corn-laws."
Ist. Out of the 250 names, 125 are ministers in small towns
and villages in England, where there are few Dissenters, and
those few obscure and uninfluential.
2d. No less than forty belong to Manchester and its en-
virons, for whose advantage the movement is made.
3d. Eight appertain to London.
4th. Eight belong to Ireland.
sth. Twenty to large towns in England where there are
several Dissenting ministers in each town, and yet from each
of which only one or two have promised to attend.
6th. Thirty are Papists, Socinians, Southcottians, Univer-
salists, and so forth.
. And, ith. The remaining nineteen belong to cities and
places of importance ; but only a very few places are repre-
sented by them, as two, and in one case three, ministers at-
tend from the same place.

THE OBJECTS OF THE MANCHESTER CON-

VENTION

(From Fraser's Magazine for September.)
" To direct the attention of the religious public to the effects of
the monopoly in food ; to the principles upon which the law of that
monopoly is based ; and to the most legitimate and Christian means
of obtaining an equitable settlement of the question, without civil
convulsion, and without injury to the just interests of any class of
our fellow-citizens,"—Vide Thompson's Circular, dated July 8,
1851. _ _

To the effects of the monopoly in food. Then of course
there is a monopoly. This is assumed. Mr. Thompson
tells us so, and we ought to believe him ; but stiil, is it not
just possible that he may be mistaken? Where is this mo-
nopoly ? Who belong to it ? All the landowners ?—Yes.
All the farmers ?—Yes ! All the millers ?—Yes ! All the
bakers ?—Yes ! 411 the muffin-men, with their little trays
and bells ?—Yes ! All the butchers ?—Yes ! All the
butchers' boys too ?—Yes I—All the holders of dairy farms ?
—Yes! All the dairy-men, and dairy-women, and dairy-
maids, too? (God bless them I)—Yes! All cheese-churners,
cheese-pressers, and cheesemongers ?—Yes ! All cultivators
of hogs and pigs (including those dear little squeakers called
sucking-pigs), as well as all pork-butchers and sausage-
makers I—Yes ! All tea-merohants, tea-importers, the East
India Company, all sugarcane-growers, makers and refiners
of sugar, as well as all grocers and dealers in tea, coffee, and
sugar—both white and brown I—Yes ! All wine-growers,
wine-merchants, and dealers in wine, wholesale, retail, and
for exportation ?—Yes ! All market-gardeners, growers of
fruit or vegetables for sale, and all vendors thereof, from
Grange of Piccadilly to the lowest green-shop in Bethnal-
Green or Shoreditch ?—Yes ! All owners of fishing-smacks
and fishing-boats, all fishermen and fishwomen too, includ-
ing our old friends the sweet girls of Billingsgate; all fish-
mongers, and hawkers and criers of mackerel and herrings at
six or sixteen a shilling ?—Yes ! All keepers of poultry-
yards, and fatteners of geese, ducks, fowls, turkeys, and
pigeons ; all poultry-merchants and poultry-mongers, as
well as all persons engaged in the sale of poultry, whether
at fairs, markets, and shops, or on the highways and byways,
in baskets or on boards, and whether live or dead ?--Yes !
All potato-growers, potato- exporters, potato -merchants,
potato-farmers, from the Irish landlord to the seller of hot-
boiled potatoes in a tin saucepan, at three for a penny (cook-
ing included), in St. Giles's ?--Yes !
What ! all monopolists ?—Yes ! Brewers, too, are they mo-
nopolists ?—Yes ! Cook-shop keepers ?--Yes ! Pastry-cooks
and biscuit-bakers ?—Yes ! These, in their respective spheres,
are all monopolists in food. Nothing would be less difficult
than to demonstrate this. They all deal in food ; they all sell
food ; they all get the best prices they can for food. The pub-
lic only get food through them ; without them the public
would get no food. They all make their fortunes (when they
can) out of the public, to whom they sell food. They will
have their own prices for the food they sell, with one excep-
tion, however, and that is the farmers, who can only obtain
as much money for the corn they send to market, as the
supply or deficiency for the time being indicate as a fair and
reasonable remuneration. All the rest are monopolists ; and
" to the effect of monopoly in food," dear Thompson pro-
poses to call the attention of
the " religious public."
But why the religious public? Is it because dear Thomp-
son is a religious man ? But who are religious men ? Only
dissenting ministers and popish priests ? This is surely a
monopoly in religion ; and it may become necessary, per-
haps, to call the attention of the " irreligious public" to
the " effects of this monopoly in religion." What would
George Thompson think of a conference to be held in Lon-
don to consider the effects of this religious monopoly. Yet
something must be done or the dissenting cardinals may vote
ab irato that they are exclusively " the religious public."
Then why is the attention of the religious public only to be
directed to this monopoly in food? Are religious men the
only eaters and drinkers in our cities and towns, villages and
hamlets? We know not. But is there a monopoly in food ?
Can every man grow corn who finds it productive and ad-
vantageous to do so? He can. Can he grow as much as he
pleases? He can. Instead of cultivating potatoes, currants,
or cabbages, may the agricultural poor grow wheat, barley,
and oats in their larger or smaller gardens and slips of
ground ? They may. Can farmers cultivate on their farms
as much of corn as they think they can sell to advantage ?
They can. Are the English farmers a set of wealthy cormo-
rants who are so rich that they do not know what to do with
their money, and yet so miserly as to prefer hoarding up
their corn to allowing the public to have it cheap ? No. Are
the English farmers a set of ignorant and stupid dunces who
know nothing about remunerative prices, and therefore refuse
to grow that which would pay them best for its cultivation ?
No. Then is there a monopoly in food? THERE IS NOT.
"Then if there is no monopoly in food, why is bread high ?"
asks honest John Birt or dear George Thompson. I will
ask them another question, and beg them to answer that.
Is there a monopoly in religion ? " No, no, no," they
will all roar and scream at the mere announcement of such an
inquiry, " there is not ; at least among Dissenters." Very
good, gentlemen, we reply ; don't be angry, but then allow
us to ask, why is that preaching the gospel is so expensive ?
" We don't think it is expensive : four or five hundred pounds
per annum is all we require for preaching two or three ser-
mons on a Sunday, and giving a lecture on the week night."
But, gentlemen, the first apostles and preachers of the Gos-
pel, according to your oft-repeated statements, had neither
shoes, nor scrip, nor money, and vet the Gospel was preached
in Rome and at Athens. Howls this ? " Yes ; but then
they had not such heavy taxes to pay ; and all the necessaries
and luxuries of life were not so dear." Agreed to, gentlemen ;
and as for this reason you require good salaries for preaching
the Gospel, so for the very same reason the farmer, the mil-
ler, the baker, must be paid for their corn, flour, and bread.
"Oh yes, that's all very well. Of course they must be paid
—but not so much." Well, gentlemen, since you are (in
your own opinions) competent judges of what is a fair remu •
nerative price for the corn-grower, corn-grinder, and baker,
allow us, the irreligious public, to believe, and to act on that
belief, that we are judges (and competent ones too) of the
salaries necessary to be paid to Dissenting ministers for their
preaching and teaching, so as to establish a sort of general
harmony between the principles they preach, and the conduct
they pursue. We will have a conference, gentlemen, to exa-
mine into your monopoly in religion, and it is high time the
irreligious public should occupy itself with the matter.
" Oh, but what has the irreligious public to do with religious
matters ?" Just as much, gentlemen, as the religious public
has to do with irreligious questions.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has just given
another exemplification of the good old saw that there is no
royal road to knowledge, in the publication of a protest
against the rejection of the commercial schemes of ministers
by the house, of which, if he be not an ornament, he is at
least a member, though for all useful purposes he is gene-
rally an absent or a silent one. The royal duke asserts that
the corn laws have not produced "any" of the benefits anti-
cipated by their original advocates. His royal highness will
not, we trust, think we are intrusive or impertinent in hint-
ing that they have prevented England being dependent on
foreign countries for food, and have enabled its treasury to
discharge quarterly his royal highness's well-earned and
well-spent demand on its coffers.

Our Northamptonshire correspondent writes to the point
of weather, as well as crops. The information tallies with
local observation. " Aug. 25, a very wet day. One of our
most respectable agriculturists says that most of the corn is
ripe, and the harvest becoming general ; all we want is suita-
ble weather. The crops of wheat are not in some fields so
good as had been expected, in consequence of the red-dust,
induced by continued moisture. The whole of the last week
we had glorious weather, and some fields of barley and oats
were carried in good order ; much more would have been
housed to-day had the weather been propitious; but it has
proved otherwise. There is a wonderful abundance of grass
everywhere ; and the second crops are nearly equal to the
first. Corn has risen in Northampton market, some old
wheats fetching from £3 12s. to £4; but three weeks fine
weather would reduce it again."

Of potatoes—one of the-really staple crops of our country,
—there are conflicting opinions; but we retain our expressed
opinion, stoutly, that if the sets fail and rot in the ground,
the planter has himself to blame in nine cases out of ten.
Either the sets are taken from worn-out, superannuated
varieties, or they are cut, and suffered to become flaccid,
many days before they are deposited in the drills, subject
also to the contingency of a period of dry weather, the ground
being acrid at the time of planting ; the vegetation, therefore,
in such cases, either proceeds languidly, ur the set is lost,
causing a blank. Now, it happens that we never remark any
of these patches, either in field or garden ; although, as in the
present season, some of the ash-leaved kidneys yield but two
or three to a root, while others produce three times the num-
ber, in consequence of the drought of May and June. Yet,
upon the whole, we find reason to base our report of the
potatoe-crop upon the following notice, which squares with
the opinion derived from observation :—" It is gratifying to
hear that the crops of potatoes were never known to be more
abundant than they are at present. This intelligence offers
to the poor the consolation of looking forward to a supply of
this valuable article of food at a cheap rate."
The beautiful weather which continues to the present
moment with high day and day night temperature, concur-
ring with the hopeful prognostic of the full moon, lead to
reasonable expectation of the rapid gathering-in of a most
abundant harvest.

LADIES' FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER

(From the London and Paris Magazine of Fashion.)

White poults de soie, with small green stripes, intermixed
with pink bouquets, levantines brochees with small pink or
blue spots on an ecru or gray ground, taffetas Napolitains in
stripes or small cheeks in every colour, moires d' Ste in pink
or blue, foulards de Chins, deep blue or dark green, with
white patterns in bouquets or checks, are now very fashion-
able, particularly suitable for country wear ; bareges, amongst
which those particularly remarked were violet, checked with
white ; but on account of the coldness of the season, gros
d' Afrique taffetas, poult de soie, are the materials that have
been most seen in Paris during the last month. The make
of dresses continues much the same; the skirt is still trim-
med en tablier with gimp and tassels, tight open bodies, with
full drapery, tight sleeves, also ornamented with gimp and
tassels ; a Swiss guimpe, embroidered and closing in front
with three buttons, looks well with this toilette; skirts are
also still ornamented with a biais, headed by a quilling of the
same material : the corsage tight, with rounded point and
revers, also finished with a quilling, as well as on the sleeve,
of which it forms the jockey ; the redingote style has the
body closing with gold buttons, wide sleeves, half long, trim-
med with a double row of tulle festonne, and quilled ; trim-
mings of cord form patterns in relief. A pretty novelty in
trimmings is a rouleau of the same material as the dress,
heading each tuck ; the corsage with fringe and folds sewed
on half way down te body, and fastened low on the shoul-
ders. The ceintures, on muslin dresses, of small scarf of
the same material, very narrow, have been introduced, rolled
round the waist, the ends wide, and reaching to the knees ;
they are trimmed with narrow lace, and a wide hem, with a
ribbon through. In dresses of thicker materials, the cou-
lisses of the corsage are sometimes placed horizontally in-
stead of transversely, which has the effect of lessening the
size of the waist. With respect to sleeves, they are very
generally tight, variously ornamented !-the prettiest are open
from the wrist to the elbow, and buttoned or laced with puffs
of muslin lace, or similar material, passing through : gimp
trimmings are so fashionable as even to be worn on peignoirs
of muslin. The most fashionable colours are purple, oriental
blue, green scarabs, orange, China black for dresses of satin,
tissus, &c.

Spencers are always genteel ; one of black velvet, high on
the shoulders, and en cceur in front, with tight sleeves,
trimmed with two biais of the same, was worn with a very
pretty skirt of pink barege. having a flounce of the same,
one-third the depth of the skirt. For children the spencer
is square before and behind, with a narrow Valenciennes
round the throat, and black lace round the waist; tight
sleeves, with manchettes of embroidered cambric.
Inlets of lace have been much used this season in flchus ;
caps and handkerchiefs in the latter style. Some borders
have been composed of six small inlets, divided by an interval
sufficiently wide to admit a single row of embroidered spots.
Cuffs and collars have also been made in this style, for neglige.
Pelerines of India muslin, embroidered and trimmed with
lace, are much worn, ornamented in front with small nceuds
of ribbon, matching the colour of the dress. Many collars
are also of cambric, with inlets of lace &c.
Many scarfs are made of Cachemire, with light trimmings
of gimp all round, and fringe at the ends ; the most elegant
are white, and very full. Various other materials are used
for scarfs, such as soft silks, lined in various colours, giving
two different sides ; those of black velvet have also appeared,
no doubt prematurely worn on account of the weather.
Small caps of cambric and muslin are worn without ribbon :
they form the prettiest style of neglige ; the bands, which
turn back, tying on the head, have a good effect, all encircled
with light embroidery and lace. One of our latest accounts
from Paris states that combs are again making their appear-
ance in coiffures, either ornamented, carved, or cut out, of
pretty forms, suiting all the styles of head dress, and that
they have been worn by the most elegant ladies.
The form of bonnets is undergoing a little change—they are
not thrown quite so back, and begin to fall more on the fore-
head.

The flowers now used on bonnets also indicate the season
of the year. Wheat-ears and poppies are again in favour ;
and a straw bonnet was prettily ornamented with black and
green grapes, and ribbon velvet of shaded green. Crape and
paille de riz bonnets are universally ornamented with feathers,
the shaded marabout to the bouquet of ostrich feathers, &c.,
&c. ; the demi guirlandes are reserved for pailles de riz and
capotes; nceuds of velvet for straw bonnets, and trimmings
of velvet, twisted with ornaments of straw, on Leghorn bon-
nets. White feathers, shaded with pink, green, or blue;
wreaths of roses, white, tinged with lilac, without leaves,
placed round the crown ; bouquets of various flowers, &c.,
&c., are used for bonnets and capotes of silk, &c. Leghorn
bonnets, of the straight form, are sometimes ornamented
with a small lace veil, entirely covering the front, and con-
fined on each side and the place of the brides by a mind of
green sarcenet ribbon. Capotes of paille de riz are pretty,
trimmed with velvet ribbon, shaded in pinks, and intermixed
with a small lace veil ; the two ends of which fall en fichu,
on each side, tying under the chin as brides, and velvet roses
inside. Sewed Leghorns are genteel.
Very pretty little cameos are used as snaps for bracelets of
black velvet, now very fashionable : in a more elegant style
bracelets are formed of tresses of seed coral, closing with a
nreud, which terminates in tassels of seed coral.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE SIR D. WILKIE

On Saturday afternoon a meeting was held at the Thatched
House Tavern, for the purpose of considering the most ap-
propriate method of doing honour to the memory of that
distinguished British artist, Sir David Wilkie. Upwards of
300 gentlemen were present. Sir Robert Peel took the chair.
The Duke of Sutherland moved, and Sir James M`Gregor
seconded—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the
genius of Sir David Wilkie was of that high order which en-
titles him not only to the admiration and gratitude of his
country, but to be publicly recorded amongst those whom
she loves to honour."
Lord John Russell moved, and Mr. T. Phillips, R.A., se-
conded—" That this record shall be a permanent and cha-
racteristic testimonial of his worth as a man. and his great
excellence as an artist."
Viscount Mahon moved, and Mr. B. B. Cabbell seconded—
" That a statue, preserving the manly and well-remembered
exterior of Sir David Wilkie, and expressing with skill and
taste the likeness and character of Sir David Wilkie, is the
most appropriate testimonial."
Other resolutions were moved and seconded by Lord C.
Somerset, Sir A Calcott, Lord Burghersh, and Mr. P. M.
Stewart.

THE TEA TRADE, AEG. 30.—The deliveries of tea from
the London warehouses for home consumption were last week
steady, being 433,2601 b. The yiotations have given way to
some extent since our last, ranging now about 21d. per lb.
below what they were on this day week. No public sales will
take place till the ith proximo, but speculation is dull, in
hourly expectation of the arrival of the overland mail.

A forgery, involving the loss of about £4OO, was on Satur-
day last successfully practised at Oundle, upon the branch
there of the Stamford, Spalding, and Boston Joint-stock
Bank. A person who, it is ascertained, arrived that day from
Boston, presented a check for £4OO, purporting to be drawn
by a well-known customer of the bank ; and some momen-
tary scruples of the cashier being removed, he paid the sum
in notes of the firm. On Monday it was ascertained that the
check had been altered from £4 to £-100. The Oundle
agent immediately pursued the offender to London ; but the
notes had been changed for cash at Messrs. Barclay's early
in the forenoon, and at present nothing further is known of
the party by whom the fraud was committed.—Lincoln
Mereury.
CArrtatE or 150 WHALES.—Stromness, Aug. 24.—Our
annual welcome visiters made their appearance off Houghton-
head on Saturday last, about six o'clock in the morning.
The cry of " Whales, Whales," was immediately raised, the
news spread with amazing rapitity, and Morpheus was
suddenly freed from many a votary. And all the boats in the
harbour, to the number of from 50 to 60, were immediately
put in requisiiion, and all the implements of destruction from
a harpoon to a carving-knife were quickly gathered. The
morning was particularly favourable for a chase, and the
scene altogether was most exciting,. The cries of " Give
way, pull together," &c., were heard floating along the smooth
surface of the waters, while in the distance the monsters of
the deep were sporting and gamboling. In a short time, the
boats were up with the whales, and their heads turned in
shore, when after a sharp run, they were all safely grounded
on the Cairston shore. Then began the process of slaughter-
ing, and as it is the rule here, (Stoniness,) "every man for
himself," all were soon engaged in the work of death. There
were about 150 killed, which, on the average, would be worth
about £3 each, making the aggregate value of the whales
£450. It is feared that, unless some proper regulations are
adopted and enforced by the authorities, the blood of her
Majesty's lieges will some day or other be mingled with that
of the whales. Club law in any shape is a dangerous one,
especially where the excitement is so great, and lethal weapons
so ready at command. There was a good deal of bickering
and bad blood on the occasion. and some disputes occured,
which are likely to be brought to an investigation before the
sheriff. Ib Flotta, Scapa, and other places the people make
common cause of the affair, and share alike, which is de-
cidedly the proper system.
Bernard Cavanagh has arrived in London, and bids fair to
become a formidable antagonist to Mesmerism, with its
manipulations, its galvanism, its brimstone and lucifers.
Times are so hard in Massachusetts that it requires the
united efforts of the population to get through them.
Rum, when in hogsheads, is capable of doing but little
mischief ; but when it gets into men's heads, look out !
The New Orleans Times says, the inquiry of a gentleman
if it was not " rather amusing" to edit a daily paper, re-
minds him of a question he once heard propounded by a
moustached, wasp-waisted exquisite, to an emaciated wretch
at work Oil the tread-mill. " Fellow," said the perfumed
and ringletted copy of humanity. " don't you foind the;
