Se abundant is the crop of nuts this year that upwards of
40 racks were pitched for sale in Yeovil market last week,
which were disposed of at from fis to 7s a sack.
CARLISLE AND MARYPORT RAILWAY.—II is intended to
open the first nine miles of this line, from Aspatria to Mary-
pert, an the 18th of June, 1839.
WYCOMBE ELECTION.—No individual has yet been hardy
eneugh to become a candidate to oppose Mr. G. R. Smith.--:-
Aylesbury News.
We do not get drunk now-a-days; we only stupify our-
selves with cigars. Every generation bas some anomaly
which it elevates into a fashion.—Bentley's Miscellany.
DEATH OF THE YANKEE LEADER.—A Cheltenham paper
states, that Scott, the American saiior, whose extraordinary
to.ato of leaping have frequently been before the public, made
his kit leap, at Stroud, on Wednesday, having been drowned
in the canal there in one of his fool-hardy attempts.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. B.—The
market has not been so well attended, and business has nut
been quite so brisk as it was last Monday. The coarser kind
of goods continue to be yet most in demand, at prices some-
what similar to those of last week. The wool market has
beets dull, and but little business done at any price.
At a very recent meeting of the principal proprietors of
the coaches, it was resolved to adopt the railway from Basing.
stoke, for completing the journey from the west of England
to the metropolis, from and after the 17th instant.—Western
Luminary.
MR. PATERNOSTER.—Mr. Richard l'aternoster, whose
recent seizure and confinement as an insane person have
excited so much interest in London, has, after a full investi-
(pities of the circumstances by the Metropolitan Commis-
sioners in Lunacy (set on foot immediately upon their being
made acquainted with the fact), after a detention of six weeks
in Mr. Finch's Lunatic Asylum, at Kensington, been released.
TUX Raw HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The inquiry which
waiceminitted to Mr. Barry, Mr. De la Beche, and others,
as to the stone to be employed in the erection of the new
/souses of parliament, is at length closed, and specimens col-
lected, received from quarries in nearly every part of the
kingdom. Some time, however, must elapse before the par-
ticular kind is fixed on, as the specimens are to form the
subject of a careful examination and analysis in London.

It appears that the directors of the Eastern Counties ra

ways and those of the Northern and Eastern, have nearly
concluded a negociation, by which they will both haven com-
mon terminus at Shoreditch. The land for the purpose is in
possession of the Eastern Counties Company, and the direc-
tors of the Northern and Eastern will pay a proportionate
sutra.--Ewes Herald.
STRANGE DUEL.—A deplorable occurrence took place at
Apt, in the Vancluse, a few days ago. Two old men, the
ale aged 80, and the other 70, had quarrelled, and resolved to
tight a duel. They went without any seconds into a distant
field, and, after a sharp contest with swords, one of them fell
mortally wounded. Some children, who were near, ran to
the town to give the alarm, and the survivor was soon after
arrested.

INFANTICIDE IN FRANCE.—The number of infanticides
and desertions of new-born children seems to be increasing
every day. A few evenings since, a female infant, not three
months old, was found in an unfinished house in the rue des
Martyrs. Some passers-by, attracted by its cries, took it up,
End conveyed it to the commissary of police of the quarter.
Ua the following morning the dead body of a new-born child,
wrapped in cloth, was discovered under a tree in the Allee
des Veuves, Champs Elysees.

INCREASE or BELFAST.—There are, at present, in course
of erection, or ready for occupancy, in Belfast and its su-
burbs, upwards of 120 dwelling houses, many of them of the
first class, exclusive of several large stores for 'the provision
and other trades, and two extensive weaving factories. Bel-
fast, within the last twenty years, has not only doubled its
population, but its extent--a rapidity of increase not sur-
passed, if equalled, by any other town in the united king-
dom.—Northern Whig.

STATE or TRADE.—The yarn market continues so ex-
eeediagly depressed that the spinners who reel for exportation
are generally talking of working short time; and it is un-
derstood that a number of extensive firms in Manchester and
the immediate neighbourhood, ►rill cease to light up their
/uteri's after the present week ; a plan, which, if generally
adopted, will cause a considerable diminution in the quantity
•f ♦arn produced. The demand for goods is also limited,
had prices rather lower than last week.—Man. Guardian.

INTERESTING GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY. —A complete
specimen of the Mastodon, in a reclined position, was lately
faund near Busiris, Crawford County Court House, from five
to seven feet under the surface of the ground in the Ohio.
The account published in the Crauford County Republican
listra' August 14, says :—" This is the only instance in
which the skull of the Mastodon has been found in a state of
preservation, and it furnishes the only specimen from which
correct ideas cau be obtained respecting that massive and
singularly shaped organ."
GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON.—NEW AR It ANG E-
katcrs.—The following order has just been issued from the
General Post Office :—" The morning mails are now de-
spatched from London at 10 o'clock, a. in. The letter boxes
at the branch offices, Charing-cross, "ere-street, and the
Borough, will be open for the reception of newspapers until
half-past 8 o'clock, and for letters until 9, At the General
Post Office, and the branch office in Lombard-street, the
boxes will close for newspapers at 9 a. m., and for letters at a
qttarter before 10 a.m.—NV. 1. Al A BERLEY, Sec.
DERRY OPERATIVE CONSER VA JIVE SOCIETY.—The first
&usual dinner of this newly organized and fast-increasing
Baciety, was held last evening (Tuesday), at :he Fox and Owl
lan, is this town. The company, which consisted of more
than 100 individuals, occupied two long tables, Thomas Bur-
roughs, Esq., surrounded by several other gentlemen of the
r*orts, officiating as chairman. The evening was passed in
the greatest order, regularity, and good humour, giving the
hest promise of the society becoming an important auxiliary
to the Conservative cause in this town.—Derby Mercury
AN AWFUL INSTANCE OF MORTA LIT Y.-01.1 Thursday
la*rning last, at Daddiscombsleigh, Mr. J. .Jones, a pig-killer
in the neighbourhood, went to a neighbour's house to pursue
his deadly avocations, and just as he had performed the ope-
radian of sticking his bleeding victim, he fell backwards, and
are the life of the pig was extinct, the butcher had ceased to
imentite. The deceased was above 50 years of age, and prior
fe this awful event was in perfect health. He was a very
industrious and useful man.—Exeter Post.

RACING EXTRAORDINARY.—The following incident, which
,40e-ettered last week, at the Isle of Wight races, would seem to
show that there is no cruelty in horse racing, but that the
sable animal enjoys winning the race quite as much as his
signer. During the race for the Hunters' Stakes, Mr. Smith,
Ole of the stewards, had given his horse to a lad to hold as
the horses were starting.- They had got about 2(X) yards when
Mr. Smith's horse broke from the lad, and followed them
without a rider—kept the course without cutting off any of
the corners, passed both the running horses, and actually
cause in first, amidst the shouts of the surrounding spectators,
Ctintous EINCUTION INFRANCE.—Carmino Rosso, a Nea-
politan tinker, who committed a barbarous murder in January,
at Drawuignan, on the person of an ex-friar, named True,
was executed a few days since in that town. The last penalty
of the law had not for many years been carried into effect at
Draguignan, and on this occasion the execution was attended
with peculiarly horrible circumstances. The knife of the
geillostine not being sufficiently sharp, descended three dif-
erent times on the neck of the culprit without severing his
head from his body, and one of the executioners was in the
•Isil actually obliged to perform his tatal office with the aid of
It cutlass.
FLustxxxx.—Cx USE AND EFFECT.—Robert Owen gave a
ftiture on bit social system on Monday, after which a gen-
tlemall asked him how he happened to become the only
"rational being;" he, as well as others, having been sur‘-
reilnded by "circumstances which made all the world irra-
tiena4" Mr. Owen said that, in his anxiety to go to school,
he ate too soon the hot flummery intended for his and the
!gamily's breakfast, which scalded him internally, and laid
up; during his illness he reflected, and read much, form-
tati ins own views, uncontrolled by the lessons of schools.
Thie explanation of reason caused much laughter.—Halifax
14Press.

L'PRISENT TO HER MAJESTY.—A pair of bead-embroidered
11,658 have been worked by a private lady in this city, with a
of being presented to her Majesty. Immediately on the
rant of the shoe, before the instep, is a neat cluster of the
haves of the royal oak, surmounted by the English rose; and
alleircling the foot is a rich reath, composed of the rose, the
thistle, and the shamrock— wan neatly worked in appropri-
lktoly coloured beads. Altogether, they are exceedingly ele-
.a,At, and do great credit to the taste and ingenuity of the
hit, by whom the embroidery work has been executed. Sir
l'ithn Campbell has undertaken to present them to her Ma-
left7.-4estsesan. •
LARGE CALF.—Such of our readers as attended the late
41trieultural show at Lytham, will remember that among the
!idles exhibited was one of extraordinary size for its age, be-
141t only thirteen weeks old. To such of them, then, as may
be iv, speculated opinions as to the weight of this calf, it may

littlt the exception of one that was bred by Captain Smith,
and killed by Mr. James Clayton. The Lytham calf was
bradby Mr. William Fair, of Lytham Moss-side, and was
trchised by Mr. John Turner, butcher, of Avenhain-lane,
eston.—Praston Pilot.
OYYRNISM OR INFIDELITY REFUTED.-011 Monday even-
11,t1 last, the free grammar school, at Middleton, was crowded
T***eoss, with persons from various religious denominations,
.4,lkongst the rest were several Clergymen and Ministers of
"11.11.ftting parties. Mr. Easby gave an address against the
ratiples of Ovrenistn, after which a discussion took place.
Jones, frvm Manchester, advocated the cause of the
Onenites, and said that last week they purchased 700 acres
o,lithd in Norfolk, that their community would soon be formed.
Easby gave a vivid account of the infidel proceedings of
9weaites at London, Blackburn, and other places, more
7nlcularly of their '1 moral marriages." The party discussed
'Mtn after ten o'clock, and the people were quite disgusted
l'ith the system of the Owenians, or rather poor deluded in-
Bolton Chronicle.

CIIIILTENH AH. Om 3.—SUCCESSFI2I, PARACHUTE DE-
-I.lolT.—This achievement, the announcement of which has
°kited great interest, took place this afternoon, and was ac-,
ktemplished with the most brilliant success. Mr. Hampton's
the Albion, having been inflated, and all things
I`44y for the start, the aeronaut got into the basket of the
i'llschiae, and having cut the cord which bound hint to the
!mils, the balloon and parachute ascended in fine style and
k. a south-west direction. ln about 10 minutes the spara.

41,4cised while yet the parachute was floating beautifully above.
NC descent of the parachute was steady and uniform through-
aqdit, and Mr. Hampton reached the ground in perfect safety,
returued to Cheltenham at half-past six o'clock. The
k4te of the descent was Badgeworth—about five miles from
ether:lllam
PslttYsatts OF SILKWORMS.—A letter from M. Favand, a

ENORMOUS EEL.—The Berwick Advertiser says—This week
there was caught in our neighbourhood a fish of the above
species, which measured six feet three inches in length, 18
inches circumference, and weighed two stones three pounds
and a half. The skin is now about being stuffed.
NEW MAIL-COACH.—A new mail-carriage has just been
put on the Strasburc, road by way of trial. It is light and
commodious, being formed as a coup% with side and front
windows, and a seat for the courier behind. Upon this seat,
and in front of the vehicle, are boxes to receive the letter-bags,
and, we believe, the luggage of the passengers, as their does
not appear to he any imperial. There are two lamps outside,
and a third which throws light into the interior.
Mthacucous EscaPE.—On Monday last, as Richard
Cargill, a workman in the employ of Mr. T Turnbull, of
Whitby, watch maker, was cleaning a double barrelled gun,
one of the barrels of which had been left loaded or charged,
having the screwing rod in the barrel, and there being no
admittance for the air he lifted the hammer up, at which the
gun discharged immediately; his hand at the moment being
on the screwing rod; the rod was blown to atoms, and the
splinters, which flew in all directions, very narrowly missed
him, and he fortunately escaped entirely uninjured.— Leeds
Intelliyencer.
COACH ACCIDENT.—OR Wednesday last, about noon, as
the Eclipse Manchester and Hull coach, very heavily laden,
was passing down Dewsbury, on its route to Hull, the fore
axle broke very near the middle, and threw the coachman
and passengers upon the pavement, by which Mr. Aaron
Halmshaw, blacksmith, of Lake Loch, near Wakefield, had
his leg dreadfully broken by a heavy trunk falling from the
top of the coach upon him; he was carried to the Hope and
Anchor Inn, Dewsbury, where he now lies in rather a pre-
carious state. Three other persons, who were slightly in-
jured, proceeded on their journey. The coachman and other
passengers were uninjured.—Manchester Guardian.
AIR. DUNN, THE IRISH BARRISTER.—'Phis gentleman'
who has lately been somewhat unpleasantly before the public
as the troublesome suitor of Miss Burdett Coutts, has been
committed to York Castle by the bench of magistrates at
Knaresborough, for a breach of the peace, and refusing to
find sureties. He will be detained until the West Riding
Sessions, which commence at Knaresborough on the 16th
October. Ile is a fine-looking young man, of good address,
and genteel appearance. Since the transaction at Harrow-
gate he has written a letter to Sir Francis Burdett, and after
stating his intentions to be honourable, and his love the most
ardent, concludes by expressing no doubt that at length he
will come off with flying colours. In the castle he is sub-
jected to the same treatment as prisoners on a charge of fe-
lony, and we presume this will bring the hot-headad lover
to his right mind.
A PRISONER KILLED ON A TREADMILL—OR Wednes-
day a young man named George Lordon, a prisoner in the
Shropshire county gaol, was working with the other pri-
soners on the treadmill, when the lever held by a man ad-
joining the prisoner was unhooked by a convict named
Johnson, and a blow was made at deceased by a prisoner.
Lordon suddenly turned aside to avoid the blow reaching
him, when he was caught between the lever and the wall,
and so dreadfully squeezed that he died on the following
Friday from inflammation in the bowels caused by the in-
jury he had received. At the inquest the jury thought that
Cahill, the man who struck the blow, was implicated in
Lordon's death, but ultimately came to a resolution to re-
turn a verdict of accidental death, with a deodand of 10s. on
the treadmill The deceased was committed fur vagrancy.
—Salopian Journal.
NOVEL FIGHT.—OR Monday night last, one of the chief
authorities of Dewsbury having occasion to go through the
yard of the most celebrated of our Dewsbury inns, i. e. the
Man and Saddle, was alarmed by hearing cries for help
issuing from the brewhouse : he proceeded there and found
one of mine hosts' . regular customers, who had been indul-
ging in deep potations of nut brown ale, laid upon his back,
loudly crying for help, and requesting sonic one to take his
opponent away, stating he had never before been used so ill,
at the same time using his fists with great dexterity; the
worthy conservator of the peace seeing at a glance how
matters stood, summoned assistance from the house, and re-
leased the Bacchanalian knight nom his adversary, which
proved to be, not mortal man or ghostly foe, but a large sack
of malt, which by some means or other he contrived to pull
upon himself in endeavouring to get out of a place which he
could have had no business to enter; after his release he
begged to have another drop, remarking he liked the spirit
much better than the body of the malt.

LATIN AND L tnoun.—The following anecdote was related
by the late John Adams, (ot one time president lithe 'United
States,) even to the last days of his life, with all that good
humour which was so characteristic of him, and, it is pre-
sumed, has not vet passed away front the minds of many
who have heard it from his own lips; a few only of his strong
expressions are remembered:—" When I was a boy, I had
to studs, the Latin grammar; but it was dull, and I hated it.
Illy father was anxious to send me to college, and therefore
I studied the grammar till I could bear with it no longer;
and, going to my father, I told him I did not like study, and
asked for some other employment. It was opposing his
wishes, and he was quick in his answer. • Well, John,' said
he, if Latin grammar does not suit you, you may try ditch-
ing' perhaps that my meadow yonder needs a_ ditch,
and you may put by Latin, and try that.' This seemed a
delightful change, and to the meadow I went. But I soon
found ditching harder than Latin. and the first forenoon was

the longest I ever experienced. That day I ate the bread of
labour, and glad was I when night came on. That night I
made some comparison between Latin grammar and ditch-
ing, but said not a word about it. I dug the next forenoon,
and wanted to return to Latin at dinner, but it was humilia-
ting, and I could not do it. At night toil conquered pride,
and I told my father (one of the severest trials of my life)
that, if he chose, I would go back to Latin grammar. lie
was glad of it; and if I have since gained any distinction, it
has been owing to the two days' labour in that abominable
ditch."—Salem Gazette.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—OD Wednesday last, as Mr-
Charles Hunt, traveller to Messrs. Clench and Co., wine
merchants of Exeter, was engaged on business at the Lobster
Inn, near Teignmouth, the horse, with a gig, which had been
left at the door, took fright, supposed to have been stung by
a wasp, and plunged at a gate leading to the court-yard.
This it dragged, together with a cart with which it came in
contact, over a hedge into an adjoining field, and con-
tinued running at a frightful rate, passing over large heaps
of culm.and limestone, by which at length the cart was up-
set, and the gate thrown off. The horse, with the gig attach-
ed, passed on to a cliff on the seashore, upwards of a hundred
feet high, over which it bounded with the utmost speed. Mr.
Hunt, with other persons, followed, but, in consequence of
the precipice being perpendicular, were obliged to take the
course of what is called Smuggler's Lane, to come to the
foot of the cliff, where they expected to find the shattered
remains of the horse and gig. To their surprise, however,
on coming to the spot neither horse nor gig were there; on
looking up, they saw the gig about 50 feet from the summit,
caught in a tree, and the horse actually suspended in the air
by the harness. They then adopted means for rescuing the
horse, by attaching a rope from the top of the cliff round the
neck, freeing it from the harness, and lowering it to the shore.
Strange to say, the horse received scarcely any injury ; the
gig was broken to pieces. The greatest praise is due to two
gentlemen, Messrs. Lee and Bremridge, for their prompt
assistance.—Exeter Flying Pus:.
C LER ICA!, PLLR A LlTlES.—Every parochial clergyman
throughout the kingdom has within the last week or two re-
ceived from government a copy of "An act to abridge the
holding Benefices in Plurality, to make better provision
for the residence of the Clergy," passed 14th August, 1838.
This bill, fifty-four pages, contains no less than one hundred
and thirty-three clauses, and many of them extremely strin-
gent in their provisions and enactments. Not more than
two preferments can be held in future by the same person,
under any circumstances, whether in Cathedral or Collegiate
Churches, or Rural Benefices—Mir two Benefices unless
within ten statute miles of each other; and then under limi-
tations as to amount in value and population. Accepting
preferment contrary to this act vacates any Benefice a cler-
gyman may have previously been in possession of, and ran-
ders it ipso facto void. Licenses, whether for non-residence,
or for curates, are made much more strict and binding in the
present bill than in any former ecclesiastical law; and a
more summary power is vested in the Bishops for enforcing
obedierwe and compliance. The power of Bishops for mort-
gaging the glebe of any vacant benefice in their Diocese, to
build a Parsonage House, may be called arbitrary indeed—
while their legal authority over the clergy generally is greatly
increased. Whether these stringent provisions may be for
good or for evil to the church, time must prove.
LE VOLEUR MALGRE Lum.—The proprietor of a small
house in the Rue du Haut Moulin, in the cite, occupied the
upper part, and let the two lower stories to different tenants.
Having from time to time lost various valuable articles be-
longing to him, he began to fear that he was unfortunate in
his choice of tenants, and even at length entertained suspi-
cions of his own brother, who was one of them. To accuse
his relative without proof would, he justly felt, bring dishonor
upon himself, and he therefore kindly gave him notice, not
many days since, to quit. In the mean time he set a species
of trap in the place where he kept his plate, so contrived that
any hand which might attempt to steal it would be caught in
the act, and the thief held fast. The night before the brother
was to remove, he was awakened by the cries ofthe suspicious
proprietor, and, hastening up to his apartment, found him
caught in his own snare, his hand grasping a silver fork and
spoon. On investigation it was ascertained that the pro-
prietor was the only perpetrator of the several robberies upon
himself, which he had committed in a state of somnambulism;
for, on being afterwards watched by his brother, he was seen,
while in his sleep, to get up, take his own watch, and go with
it to the common sewer, into which he threw it. On search-
ing the place the following day for the watch, all the missing
articles were found in the same receptacle.—Galignani's
Messenger.
DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT AT SOUTH QUEENS-FERRY,
SCOTLAND.—Yesterday, about one o'clock afternoon, whilst
the Coburg coach, on its way from Perth to Edinburgh, was
receiving the passengers and luggage from the steamer, at
Newwhalls Pier, South Queensferry, the leader suddenly
wheeled round; and, notwithstanding that the guard and
coachman, who were then busy stowing the luggage, were al-
most instantly at their head, assisted by Mr. George Mitchell,
of the New halls Inn, both the coach and the horses were sud-
denly precipitated over the quay. Some of the outside pas-
sengers escaped by throwing them on the pier; but those in
the inside were less fortunate. The inside passengers were,
Mr. Ellis, Royal Terrace, Edinburgh ; rs. Captain M‘Duff;
Miss M`Duff, a girl about thirteen years of age; and an el-
derly female, servant to Mrs. M'Duff. The coach having
fallen into the sea on its side, Mrs. M`Duff and Mr. Ellis
managed to get their heads thrust out of the window above
the water, until extricated from their perilous situation by
Robert Beveridge, the engineer of the ferry steamer. The
other two, Miss M'Duff and the servant, were, we regret to
state, taken out entirely lifeless. The only outside passen-
ger who kept his place on the coach until it was precipitated
into the water, was pitched into the sea a considerable dis-

tance, but fortunately saved himself by swimming ashore.
The pole having broken, the leading horses were saved; but
the two wheel horses were drowned. Captai❑ M`Duff, and
other members of his family, were passengers by the same
coach, but had not taken their seats when the accident occur-
red, The melancholy result is entirely attributable to the
dangerous practice, recently introduced, of loading the coach
on the quay instead of at the inn as formerly, and at the same
time leaving the horses' heads unattended.—Scotsman.
CAUTION TO ENGINEERS.—About two years since, Mr.
Hind, well know❑ in London as an engineer and builder of
several gas-works, and who was an assistant of the late cele-
brated Mr. Windsor, was induced by the Russian govern-
ment to go over to St. Petersburg to erect and superintend
the imperial gas-works then about to be established, at a
salary of 1.:800 per annum. One year's salary was paid him
in advance, by way of outfit; and he soo❑ afterwards sent
for his wife and family, who joined him. In this country
there are certain perquisites belonging to the engineers of
such establishments, amongst which is the superabundant
quantity of rough lead cut from off the p;pes where they are
joined. Tbese cuttings in large works amount to a consi-
derable quantity, and Mr. Hind, considering that he would
be entitled to the same perquisites in Russia as in England,
sold the cuttings; for which it is --understood by his friends
that he has bee❑ banished to Siberia. The circumstance
has attracted considerable attention with scientific mecha-
nics in London, as great inducements are now held out by
the Russian government for intelligent individuals to settle
in that country. We understand that the directors of the
Equitable Gas Company, whose works Mr. Hind erected at
Vauxhall, have, with a laudable spirit reflecting great credit
upon them, presented a memorial to the Russian A mbassa-

dor at our court, to request that he will cause an inquiry to
be made on the subject of the painful banishment of this in-
dividual to Siberia. Hind was well known and highly
respected in the profession; and the Independent Gas-
works at Haggerstone, so celebrated for commodiousness,
were amongst those erected by him. He has also established
many of the first companies in tho metropolis, and several
Provincial towns and 'cities of Eculand. Fresh accounts are

. _
looked for anxiously by his frieinis;htit it is feared that the
report of his banishment to the 6:su:ate climes of Siberia is
but too true.—Chronicle.

the year of £45,257, and the decrease on the quarter is
£8,006. The crown lands have yielded an increase on
the year of £140,000, and on the quarter of £65,000.
The miscellaneous receipts have increased on the year
£146, and on the quarter £5,675.
On this statement the Morning Herald of yesterday

has the following remarks:— -
" It must be borne in mind, however, that this im •
provement in the state of the revenue is an improve-
ment, only relatively to the two preceding years—the
most disasti ous, almost, in the history of English
finance. On these two years, as compared with those
which preceded them, there was a decline in the income
of the country, to the extent of nearly £3,000,000.
And, although, during the last quarter, things have
mended a little ;—yet the slight increase will be found
by no means adequate to meet the greatly increased
outlay of public money consequent on the Canadian
rebellion, and other emergencies of the public service.
"There is one important fact embodied in the abstract
of the revenue just published—important, in so far as
it illustrates the influence of Whig principles of govern-
ment on the condition of the labouring poor. There
was, last year, a marked decline in the national income
derived from exciseable articles ;—and this year, despite
the slight improvement in other departments, there ap-
pears a further decline in the excise returns. Our
financial documents supply no other test so decisive as
to the measure of the poor man's enjoyments. The
result before us is quite in accordance with the genius
of whiggery. The march of 'reform' has gradually
and regularly lessened the labourer's comforts."

THE REGISTRATIONS.—The progress of the regis-
trations continues to be favourable to the conservative
cause. There is scarcely a solitary exception to be
made to this satisfactory statement, although the libe-
rals have been'endeavouring, by the creation of faggot
voters, to swamp the genuine constituency of the
country. Thanks to the vigilance of the conservative
agents, their nefarious schemes have been, in most in-
stances, completely frustrated. The progress of con-
servative principles in the county of Middlesex is of
the most encouraging character, and ought to stimu-
late to increased zeal, energy, and activity in the de-
fence of our glorious constitution in church and state.
From the statement which we subjoin, and to wWe'l
we refer our readers with feelings of exultation, it will
be perceived that the radical faction have no chance of
dividing the representation of Middlesex in future.
The following we extract from the London journals :

" Added to the above, however, there is a further
considerable majority on the new claims. But as, in

this class, there would still remain a considerable
number of doubtful' or unknown,' it is thought best
not at present to introduce them into the calculation.
As far as answers have yet been received, the propor-
tion of the Conservative claimants of the present year
to the Radicals appears to be as 5 to 2."

We are also glad to learn, from the Dublin Evening
Hail, that the Irish metropolitan county is also
"quite safe." Thus fortified in our hopes of success
on all sides, we do not, for a moment, dread the occur-
rence of a general election, come whenever it may.
The result of another appeal to the people would prove
the downfal of the Melbourne-O'Connell ministry.
Their doom has been long since irrevocably fixed.

THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—The Liverpool
Journal, the especial organ of the Papists of this
town, though not the most Papistical in its character,
in an article as vulgar and as scurrilous as ever dis-
graced the columns of the most degraded among the
unstamped publications of that sink of iniquity, the
metropolis, has ventured to attack the speakers and to
pour contempt upon the proceedings of the late meet-
ing, at the Amphitheatre, of the Protestant Association.
We feel confident that no one, possessing the feelings
of a gentleman, or entertaining any regard for the
usages of civilized life, could possibly envy the repu-
tation of a writer who, in the plenitude of his conceit
and self-sufficiency, has the hardihood to compare the
Protestant meeting to the assemblage of beasts in the
Old Infirmary ground. Is the author of this scandal-
ous outrage upon public decency—this audacious in-
sult to the understandings,and even theicommon sense
of his readers—is the perpetrator of the mass of ab-
surdities to which we allude really aware of the cha-
racter of the meeting which he strives to turn into ri-
dicule ? Can he be, indeed, ignorant that, among, the
thousands who thionged the Amphitheatre on Thurs-
day last, there were to be found some hundreds of the
most respectable merchants and professional men in

this neighbourhood ? Is he ignorant also of the fact
that considerably above the half of that vast assem-
blage was composed of the most lovely, the most vir-
tuous, and the most religious of the ladies of Liver-
pool ? The evidence of his own eyes might have con
vinced him at least of the loveliness of the audience
which he so ungallantly compares to an assemblage of
beasts "bellowing and braying." What will the mo-
dest wives and daughters who graced the proceedings
of the day with their presence say to a writer who
designates them as " a collection of animals much
more noisy, and scarcely more rational" than the
"beasts" at the agricultural show ? Would this Po-
pish scribe have employed such terms in describing
a meeting differently constituted—a meeting of the
filthy, degraded, and demoralised Irish Papists of the
town? We trow not. Such an assemblage, reeking
from the contamination of the confession box and the
gin shop, and scandalising public decorum by their
yells and execrations, would be pronounced as the
most orderly that could be conceived. But a meeting,
chiefly composed of the ladies and gentlemen of Liver-
pool, simply because they happen to be Protestants,
are declared, in spite of their peaceable and orderly
demeanour, to be " deficient in decency and good
manners." Let this calumniator stand forth and ad-
duce a single instance of indecency or bad manners in
connection with the meeting on Thursday. We defy
him to substantiate his sweeping charge. In attempt-
ing to do so we would have him to reflect that his in-
discriminate condemnation of the audience applies to
;nearly three thousand of the most respectable females
in Liverpool. Has he any evidence to prove that they
'were guilty of indecent conduct, or of it:flinging the
laws of good manners? If he has not, to whom do
his observations apply?
The Journal characterises the meeting of the Pro-
testant Association as an " Anti-Catholic" meeting.
It was no such thing. The Protestant Association
does not acknowledge the title of the Church of Rome
to the assumption of the term " catholic." The meet-
ing was an " Anti•Popish" meeting. It was a meet-
ing to expose the frauds, to attack the heresies, and
to expose the abominations of the fore-doomed GREAT
APOSTACY. It was a meeting in defence of the " ca-
tholic truth," from which the apostate Church of Rome
has departed.

The Journal acknowledges that the Amphitheatre
was " pretty nearly filled;" but falsely asserts that the
audience was composed of " foolish women and igno-
rant children, and a sprinkling of yet more foolish and
ignorant men." Of what modest assurance is this
writer possessed! How gallant to the fair sex! How
superciliously confident in his ow❑ superior sense and
discernment ! Has it never occurred to him that some
-persons might be apt to reckon him as an item in the
account of the " more foolish and ignorant men" who
were present at the meeting, to cavil at what they did
mot understand ? Has it never occurred to him, that
many of the " foolish women and ignorant children,"
who were present, could afford to look down with pity
on his own consummate dulness ? Let it suffice the
writer in the Journal to be told—and we tell it with
every confidence in the truth of our assertion—that
there were hundreds present at the Amphitheatre, ex-
clusive of the clergymen on the platform, with whom
it would be almost an insult to common sense to corn-
pare the author of the drivelling nonsense, upon which
we are compelled to bestow our notice.

The Journal says that the " last year, and the year
before, these meetings were of some importance," and
most oddly assigns as a reason, that " the endowment
affair was then proceeding !" What imaginable con-
nection could there be between the endowment ques-
tion and the exposition of theerrors of Popery ? The
objects of the Protestant Association are of a general,
and not of a local character, and, therefore, the endow-
ment question, which involved no general principle,
could not confer any "importance" on the proceedings
at its meetings. The " school question" was of a dif-

ferent character. That subject is intimately connected
with the secret workings and machinations of the Po-
pish system, and was, therefore, very properly intro-
duced into the discussions of the Protestant Associa-
tion.

The Journal seems to assume the character of a n
arbiter in the matters of "decency and good manners,"
and yet ventures to designate the Rev. Messrs. Gregg,
M'Neile, Ralph, and M'Grhee, as "two Irish vagrants,
and an Irish and a Scotch interloper." Our readers
need not be informed that the Journal employs this
singularly elegant and polite phraseology to four of
the most gifted, eloquent, pious, and laborious clergy-
men in the British dominions, each of whom possesses
" more learning in his little finger " than this Popish
" interloper" does in his whole body.
On what authority does the Journal assert that " the
speeches abounded with filth and folly ?" We have
already furnished the public with a copious report of

the speeches. In which of them does the Journal dis-
cover " filth and folly ? We can recognise no such in-
gredients, excepting, indeed, they are to be found in
the extracts read from various Popish publications.
If the Journal alludes to these, it is quite welcome ;
but we do not agree with him that they have " lost all
claim to attention on the score of novelty." The
" filth and folly" of the apostate Church of Rome are
so identified with its doctrinal system, and so amalga-
mated with its demoralizing discipline, that it becomes
the imperative, but painful, duty of every lover of wis-
dom and purity to expOse them to the reprobation of
mankind. We can well appreciate the soreness of the
Papists on the subject of the " filth and folly" of Peter
Dens, and the other casuists of the Church of Rome;
but it is taking rather too great a liberty with truth,
to impute these abominations to those who are so se-
dulously engaged in denouncing them. If it be an
act of impropriety in Protestant clergymen to allude
in the most delicate manner to this " filth and folly,"
what must be the degree of criminality attached to the
authors who have laboured so diligently in their pro-
pagation ? Let the Journal answer.

The Journal accuses the speakers at the Protestant
meeting of slandering the Irish Papists, their clergy,
and their religion. If truth be a slander, we acknow-
ledge that the charge is well-founded. Let the Jour-
nal prove that the Popish priests have been otherwise
than thus slandered. Is "to rave about the beast in

the Revelations" to be considered as a slander upon
the Church of Rome ? If so, the more of such slan-
der we have the better ; but let us not call it "ray-
ing," for that would imply a censure upon the Bible
itself.

The Journal jumps too hastily to a conclusion when

_ .
it takes it for granted that the " attacks" of the Pro-
testant Association "have ceased to have political im-
portance." We beg to assure the Journal that he
could not be guilty of a more unfounded assumption.
The labours of the Protestant Association have con-
tributed far more signally to further the conservative
reaction, now making such triumphant progress
through the length and breadth of the land, than the
most eloquent speeches delivered within or without

the walls of the houses of Parliament on merely
political topics. The missionaries of this associa-
tion have been successful in opening the eyes of the
British public to the dangers which surrouni the best
interests of the country—to the wily machinations of
the Jesuits—to the " filth and folly" which are infused
into the mass of the population through the teachings
of the Popish priests—to the foul and monstrous per-
jury which stalks unblushingly in the very legislature

—and to the inevitable ruin and national calamities
which are the bitter fruits of Popish ascendancy. This
is the true secret of tl,•e hostility manifested by the ra-
dical, Popish, and infidel press against the operations
of the Protestant Association. Hence arises the con-
tumely with which such men as the Rev. Hugh INPNeile,
the Rev. T. D. Gregg, the Rev. Dr. Sullivan, and the
Rev. R. G. Nl‘Gliee areloaded by the republican press.
We would particularly wish to impress upon the
minds of our readers that the most effectual method of
stirring up the people to a sense of the danger to which

the time-reverend institutions of our county are ex.
posed, is to promote the Protestant reaction now in
progress. Conservative reaction will always follow
in the wake of Protestant reaction. The latter is a
deeper and more abiding sort of thing—a stronger irn,
pulse—a more powerful feeling. O'Connell has set
up the "Repeal of the Union," meaning thereby Po-
pish Ascendancy, as his ultimo ratio. Let PROTESTANT
ASCENDANCY, then, be our ultimo ratio. In this lies
our only security against national perdition. This
will procure for us honest, wise, and Christian legisla-
tors. This will avert from us the judgments denouced
against " the followers of the beast that sitteth upon
sevAn • : •

The Journal talks of the "stale prosing of M'Ghee,"
and "the equally stale ranting of ITNeile." We pre-

sume that no species of prosing or ranting would prove
more unacceptable in the eyes of the editor of the Jour-
nel than the quotations from scripture which the speak-
ers at the meetings of the Protestant Association so
provokingly introduce in their addresseS to the public.
To the Papist there is nothing so " stale" and unwel-
come as the palpable denunciations in the scriptures
of the Church of which he is a member.

The miserable perversions, and the pitiable suppres-
sions of truth, of which the Journal is guilty, while
animadverting on an isolated passage in the speech
delivered by the Rev. T. D. Gregg, we consider en-
tirely unworthy of notice. The sophistries to which
the 'Journal resorts are too transparent to deceive the
most ignorant of his readers.

The Liverpoel Times has also indulged in some
lengthy and prosing remarks on the proceedings of
Thursday last. To these we shall address ourselves

on Tuesday.

THE WAREHOUSE QUESTION.—We are compelled
to defer our observations on the proceedings in the
Town Council on this question until Tuesday next,
when we shall examine it in all its bearings. In the
mean time we congratulate the public upon the tri-
umphant issue of the division which took place. No
doubt our sage councillors, or at least some of them,
were influenced in their decision by a wholesome
dread of the ordeal through which they will have to
pass on the first of November. However, we must
add that the present advantage over thefoe is no secu-
rity against any future attack. The monopolising
monster is only scotched—not killed. Our friends
must be on the alert, especially between this and the
first of next month, when the liberals will be once
more put upon their trial.

LIVERPOOL MEDICAL INSTITUTION,

THE LADIES' BAZAAR,

The ladies' bazaar, in aid of the pecuniary resources of
this useful and valuable institution, bids fair to be eminently
successful. From present appearances, we have no doubt
whatever that the object which it was designed to accomplish,
viz., the raising a sufficient fund to liquidate the debt which
has hitherto pressed heavily upon the interests, and crippled
or restrained the energies of the institution, will be realized.
The bazarr was opened on Wednesday morning at eleven
o'clock, in the new building at the corner of Hope-street,
Mount-pleasant, and was attended by a great proportion of
the beauty and fashion of Liverpool, down to four o'clock in
the afternoon, when the exhibition closed for the day, to be
re-opened yesterday, and to be continued until the whole of
the articles, furnished by the industry and ingenuity of the
fair contributors, have been disposed of. We hope, and, in-
deed, have no fear, that they will be sold to advantage.
In the entrance hall was stationed Mr. Stubbs's Royal
Harmonic Band, who performed at intervals select pieces
from the most popular works of ancient and modern, native
and foreign composers.
The staircase, by which access is gained to the exhibition
rooms, was handsomely decorated with evergreens and
dahlias of an infinite variety of tint, and had a very pleasing
and animated appearance.
The rooms in which the bazaar is holding are three in
number, and are those intended for the Pathological Museum.
They are not so extensive as might have been considered
desirable for the purposes of, this bazaar, but were fitted up
with great neatness and taste. The decorations chiefly con-
sisted of-pink and white draperies, dahlias and evergreens,
very prettily arranged, with two large crimson silk flags in
the centre room, on which appeared the gratifying inscrio-
tions—" The Town and Trade of Liverpool," and " Gtid
save the Queen."
There were three tables in the room, and two in the apart-
ment to the right; that on the left was devoted to the sale of
confectionary, wines, fruits, and other refreshments. A vast
variety of useful and of nainental articles were submitted, and
their claims enforced with that success which female solici-
tation never fails to command. Standing at the door of the
refreshment room and looking to the opposite end, the coup
Wail was most magnificent.
At the first table, Mrs. Lloyd, of Aigburth, presided, with
Mrs., Tinnev, Mrs. James Foster, and Miss Lloyd. The
collection which they offered was truly elegant, and com-
manded universal admiration. Amongst the articles which
Ke particularly noticed were a beautiful chair with a frame
of rosewood and back and seat of needlework, a pair of
ottomans, which, we observed, were to be disposed of by
lottery, if not sold at the price at which they were ticketed—
viz , ten guineas—and an elegant ornament of beetle-work
for the hair.
Mrs. Jeffreys, of Great George's Square, with Mrs Tav-
leu re, Miss Green, and Miss Bridge, had charge of the second
table. They exhibited a very chastely executed group of
wax flowers, a number of beautiful drawings of heads, a foot-
stool of quite a novel pattern, with the centre of needlework;
a screen of needlework, very pretty, representing an old
musician teaching a youth to perform on the violin. The
figures are admirably pourtrayed. This production, we ob-
served, is to be raffled for, if not otherwise disposed of—the
price eight guineas. There was on this table also a very in-
geniously con ;tructed model of an old gipsy pedlar.
The third table was occupied by Mrs. Cheesborough, who
was fortunate in having some splended specimens of needle-
work, amongst numerous other matters of very superior merit.
Two sofa pillows, one of them representing a mounted
mameluke, and the other Titian's daughter, were superb in
the execution, and attracted much and deserved admiration.
The effect given to the representation of the right hand in
the latter picture surpassed anything of the kind we ever
witnessed.

The next table was under the control of Mrs. Chorley, of
St. Anne-street, and Mrs. Richard Bateson, assisted by Mrs.
Ambrose Lace, the Misses Bateson, and Miss Charley. They
produced, for the attraction of customers, some beautiful
copies of Prout's interiors, a group of flowers in needlework,
intended for a screen, a piece of elegant and valuable em-
broidery on black satin, representing a group of various
coloured birds; some composition models, received from
Warwick, and executed by the only person in England ac-
quainted with the secret of their mancufacture ; and a port-
folio containing some very beautiful heads of Jacobo and
:►'eresa.

• Mrs. Dawson, of Mount Pleasant, had the management of
the fifth table, assisted by Mrs. Ross and Miss Jackson.
They had a profusion of elegant work of various descriptions.
In the centre was a drawing-room chair of rosewood, inlaid
with mother-of-pearl, the seat exhibiting a beautiful group of
flowers in needlework. We noticed also two small card-
board models of Bath Abbey and another place of worship,
which had been presented by Mrs. Joseph Langton, of Great
George-square; some elegant hand-screens, forwarded by
Mrs., Earle, of Spekland ; a superb piece of needlework, in
an oak frame, representing an old lady at breakfast, and
which would be an excellent companion for the musician at
Mrs. Jeffrey's table ; the model of a country school, the
minuteness of description being exquisite, and which was
ticketed "to be sold with the good will of the concern."
This we understand was a part of the donation from Mrs.
Higginson. A beautiful drawing, in water colours, of Lake
Ogwen, North \Vales, by Mrs. Horsfall, of Everton, and
part of her donation. A small miniature, the donation of an
eminent artist. A view of Point Neuf, in Paris, by Mr.
Gawin Herdman, and an admirable lithographic portrait of
Dr. Rutter, the president of the institution, by the same
artist.

In the rooms were also tables filled with clothing for the
poor. _ .

The refreshment-room, at the table of which the ladies
above-mentioned presided in rotation, was not the least attrac-
tive portion of the exhibition. There were some delicious
grapes, white and black, a portion of them forwarded from
Croxteth; peaches and nectarines, chiefly furnished by Mrs.
Preston, of Fir-grove; pine-apples, melons, confectionary of
every description, and wines of various qualities, from hum-
ble port to imperial tokay.
There was here a very curious model of a bazaar, construct-
ed-by Miss Morland, of Everton-lodge, and the young ladies
of her'seminary, and being a part of their donation, amount-
ing to between forty and fifty pounds. This ingenious trifle,
for the accommodation of the younger members of the com-
munity, will be disposed of by lottery—the tickets five shill-
ings each.

We should not omit to mention that Mrs. Ireland Black-
borne, the lady of the respected member in parliament for
Warrington, Mrs. Joseph Langton, and Mrs. Trail' occasion-
ally assisted all the ladies who were stationed at the various
stalls, and delighted the company by their affability. Mrs.
Blackburne in particular, we should mention, without mean-
ing- at all to disparage the exertions and the liberality of
the other ladies who have lent their countenance and given
their active support to this bazaar, has been most indefatigable
in her efforts to promote its prosperity, from a just apprecia-
tion of the motives for which the institution was formed.
The lady patronesses were the Marhcioness of Salisbury,
the Countess of Wilton, Lady Francis Sandpn, Lady Moly-
neux, and Mrs. Ireland Blackburne.
• Lady Frances Slndon kindly contributed some articles of
needlework, and his lordship sent a donation of money. A
number of other opulent individuals also sent pecuniary do-
nations. From Mrs. Hugh Jones, of Lark Hill, £25 were
received; £2O each from Richard Dawson, Esq. of Mount-
pleasant; William Fawcett, Esq. of York-street, and Charles
Tayleur, Esq. £lO 10s. each from W. W. Manifold, Esq.
and Charles W. Jones, Esq. of Vernon-street. £lO each
from W. P. Preston, Esq. Rock-house; Thomas Rodick,
Esq., Gateacre; W. Nixon, Esq. Vernon-street; Henry
Holmes, Esq. Everton Brow; John Hall, Esq.; Mrs. Mus-
pratt, Pembroke-street; W. R. Preston, Esq.. Aigburth;
Mrs. Rathbone, Woodcroft ; Mrs. Preston, Fir Grove; Miss
0. Jackson; Nicholas Robinson, Esq., Sudleigh; Miss Fos-
ter and Mr. and Miss Lloyd for work sold before the bazaar;
and Mrs. Dawson for ditto. £5 each from Lady Clayton,
of Larches, near Wigan • Park, Esq., Mount-pleasant;
Thomas Foster, Esq., Wootton; John Richardson, Esq.,
Rodney-street; William Harvey, Esq., Cheapside; Enoch
Harvey, Esq., ditto; Thomas Harvey, Esq., ditto; John
Robert Preston, Esq., Vernon-street; Allan Kaye, Esq.;
Sir G. Drinkwater; W. Brown, Esq., Richmond Hill;
-- Shaw, Esq., Springfield-street; Mrs. Moss, Otterspool;
James Molyneux, Esq., Duke-street; Mrs. and Miss Leigh,
Abercromby-square; Mrs. Touimin ; Dr. Nichol, Rodney-
street; Franklin Preston, Esq. There were many other do-
nations of two guineas and one guinea, and altogether, before
the bazaar opened, there had been received somewhere about
£4OO.

The amount realized from the sales and collection at the
doors during the day we were not able to ascertain, but it
must have been considerable, from the interest which the an-
nouncement of the intention to hold the bazaar had excited
amongst the opulent inhabitants of the town and neighbour-
hood, and the general knowledge that the institution had
ready been of infinite service in seasons of pestilential visita-
tion amongst the poorer classes. The debt with which the
institution is encumbered is stated to be somewhere about
£lOOO, and as many handsome donations will yet be forward-
ed, we have strong hopes that at the close of the bazaar there
will be an ample sum in hand for its complete liquidation.—

nues to " astonish the natives" night after night, at this de-
lightful little theatre. His wonderful performances are
varied every evening.
THE LIVERPOOL—This splendid vessel made a trip yes-
terday around the floating light, and gave ample proof of her
s.a-worthy qualities and her fast sailing. Her appearance
was truly magnificent. This day, we understand, she will
make an experimental trip to Dublin, when an opportunity
will he afforded of ascertaining her speed.
