SHERIDAN KNOWLES' NEW COMEDY.

On Wednesday a new comedy, by Sheridan Knowles, was
produced at Covent-garden. It was eminently successful,
and the applause throughout was frequent until the curtain
fell. The notice of repetition was received amidst unfeigned
manifestations of pleasure. The Morning Herald says e—
" The chief merit of this work consists in the spirit and
delicate piquancy of its dialogue, and the nicely-devised em-
barrassments by which the progress of its two leading actions
is amusingly retarded until the arrival of the just moment of
eelaircissement. It is not, in any degree, remarkable for
strongly-conceived dramatic situation, but terminates with a
fair concurrence of effects. It was performed with much
animation."

As a literary work, we believe that this may rank amongst
the most successful of Mr. Knowles's dramas.

In act four, where Lady Blanche appears to her friend in
the dress of a cavalier, we find the following vivid and poetic
passage :

Lady Blanche—Give me a kiss !
Lady Anne—A kiss ! I never yet gave kiss to man.
Lady Blanche—You have kiss'd me many a time !
Women forget
Their girlhood days ; Their lofty age o'erlooks
Such tiny things !
Lady Anne—Kiss'd thee !
Lady Blanche—When we have stroll'd
Along green lanes in honeysuckle time,
With thrilling throats mocking the merry birds ;
When we have chased each other 'mong the sheaves,
Whose ears have lent us gold to make us crowns ;
When forced to keep the house in winter, of
Our plays we have made fires to warm ourselves ;
Or when we have coax'd spring on with primroses,
Till hedge-rows leaved, and trees were all a-bloom !
I have kiss'd thee all these times. not to recount
How often we have sat on the same chair,
Or made a chair of one another's lap,
On the same carpet roll'd—slept in one bed !
Lady Anne (shrieks)—Ah !
Lady Blanche—You may shriek—There was no shriek-
ing then—
In short, were comates more than hand or glove,
For still were we together !—Kiss me Anne !
Lady Anne—Hos! help !"
Mr. George Vandenhoff played Sir Thomas Blount, but
in consequence of a severe domestic calamity which occurred
that morning, he was unable to give the character with the
spirit it required. We find, however, that his acting since
has been highly extolled by the London press. The Sunday
Times says, that he has developed the beauties of the cha-
racter per sultum as compared with his first representation.
We were surprised to see it stated that Mr. Vandenhoff was
heavy in the part, as the character so well suited his talents.
The reason we have accounted for. Mrs. Nesbitt, Madame
Vestris and Harley are reported as being excellent in their
respective parts. The play has been greatly improved by
some judicious curtailments.
The reader of this comedy will find much mere in it, in a
high vein of composition, to reward his careful perusal of it.

SHOCKING CATASTROPHE-BURSTING OF A
BOILER.-SEVEN MEN KILtED AND NINE
SEVERELY INJURED.

At an early hour on Wednesday morning, the neighbour-
hood of Jersey-street, Ancoats, Manchester, was thrown
into a state of the greatest alarm and excitement by a loud
explosion of the engine boiler, and the falling of one end of
a three storied building, situate on a branch of the Roch-
dale canal, a little below Poland-street, belonging to Messrs.
John Elce and,Co., machine makers' A number of people
were speedily attracted to the spot by the noise of the explo-
sion ; and the scene of distress that ensued, it would be im-
possible to describe. Parents were seen looking for their
children, and wives for their husbands, fearing lest they
might be amongst the sufferers.
With respect to the cause of the explosion, nothing is
known with any certainty ; but, as the engine was not at
work, and can hardly have been short of water, there seems
to belittle doubt that the accident was caused either by an
overloaded or a detective safety-valve, or by the boiler itself
being too weak to bear the pressure which it ought to have
sustained. It appears tolerably clear, from the circular end
of the boiler which was found in the yard, and which was
evidently the one nearest the engine, that the commencc-
' went of the explosion was in that end. The injured parties
were in and over the engine-house at the time of the explo-
sion.

[Since the above was in type, another of the unfortunate
sufferers has breathed his last, and two others are lying with
very slight hopes of recovery. The inquest, which was held
on Friday, was adjourned to yesterday. The deceased are
all young men in the prime of life, of the respective ages of
21, 18, 18, 17, 22, 19, 25, and 17. Three of them were mar-
ried, and have left wives and families.]

THE THIMBLE Rio.—At the Southampton Sessions last
week, five persons were indicted "for conspiring together to
cheat and defraud the sabjects of the Queen of their money,
by procuring them to play at an unlawful game called
thimble rigging," and thereby obtaining divers large sums of
money. Mr. Edwards, a planter of Antigua, stated that he
left England in 1804, and returned in July last. He at-
tended the Southampton races in that month, and saw there
several persons, in a ring round a table, who immediately
made way for him. He first staked a sovereign, which was
lost. He was then induced to try his luck again, and the
man at the tahle having challenged any man to bet £59, Mr.
Edwards put down a £5O note, which was all he had in his
pocket, and which was immediately lost. The parties about
the table then induced Mr. Edwards to borrow money from
several apparent gentlemen who stood near to the gamblers,
and the game went on until Mr. Edwards found that he had
lost £7O of borrowed money, in addition to the previous sum
of £5l which he had in his own possession. For this £7O
Mr. Edwards gave a memorandum in writing, payable that
evening at the " Nelson" Public-house. After this Mr.
Edwards foolishly engaged again in the game, and borrowed
£52, which he lost. One of the parties occupied in thus
duping Mr. Edwards, represented one of the gentlemen who
lent the money, as a traveller for an eminent house, and
another as a man of immense fortune, who could buy half
Southampton. Mr. Edwards did not keep his appointment
at the Nelson that evening, but went there on the following
day with his solicitor, where he met three of the prisoners,
who were immediately taken into custody. Other witnesses
were then called, who proved that they had seen these parties
" waiting upon" Mr. Edwards. A policeman stated that he
was on the course in plain clothes, and observed one of the
prisoners with Mr. Edwards. The others walked behind,
and he heard one of them say " leave Ben alone ; he'll draw
him if any one can." The jury found all the prisoners
guilty, and the Recorder, in passing sentence upon the pri-
soners, said their offence was one which appeared to him to
derive uo extenuation from the fact of such practices having
been extensively tolerated; that fact only called for a more
rigorous application of penalties of the law, when any one
came forward to demand that the law should be put in force.
He should not be discharging his duty if he did not take the
opportunity of making an example of them for the benefit of
others. It happened that poor persons who took only a
small amount of property were compelled to atone for their
offence, for offences which were white indeed as compared
with their conduct. He regretted that it was not iti his
power to transport them, for if he had had such power, he
most unquestionably would have exercised it. He hoped the
punishment he should now inflict would have the effect of
keeping such persons at all events from coming within this
jurisdiction, if it did not altogether put an end to such
fradulent practices. There was a distinction in their cases,
and therefore the sentence would be that Parrott, Purcell,
and Ferrier, should be imprisoned for two years, and pay a
fine to the Queen of £5O each ; and that Kemp and Curran
should be imprisoned for one year, and pay a fine of £25
each, and that they should be further imprisoned till the
fines were paid. This is the first case of the kind that has
ever been tried.

IMPROVIDENCE OF THEODORE HOOK.—Theodore Hook
was buried in Pulliam churchyard (within one foot of the
east wall, near to the tomb of Bishop Gibson), on Monday,

My lovely Annie! thou art gone
From sweet Comlongon's bower;
And say wilt thou again return,
By flowery path and wimpling burn
To rove as heretofore ?
We feel a blank in our abode,
When Annie is not here,
Who sweetened pleasure when it came,
And ne'er withheld a tear
For those who felt affliction's pain,
Whether on couch of sickness lain,
Or sad with grief and care.
And when, in melodious accents, she
Read from some beauteous book
A tale that seemed to bring reproof
To those who merely felt the trath
Of what my Annie spoke, •
'Twas like some mellow fairy strain
That did some muse invoke.

But, oh ! my Annie, gentle love !
What can these words impart,
To tell what I have felt for thee,
When, viewing thee apart,
Plucking with gentle hand the flower,
That you placed in like mode
Upon that snow-white breast of thine,
As on your path you strode,
And seem'd quite pleas'd with what you'd done,
As you went on your road !

And who shall then describe the smile,
That play'd thy lip around,
When, with a light and easy step,
My Annie onward bound,
In spite of what would intercept,
By ditch and dyke around!
Ah! whose admiring eyes could meet
Thy blue-eyed sparkling gems,
Shining just like the sun's bright rays
On golden diadems,
And not find something lovely there,
Which no art could design,
Either by aid of poet's pen,
Or painter's portrait-line!
For thou art Nature's child, my love,
And genius glows within.

Farewell ! but not for ever yet!
My lovely Annie now
Will walk by Nith's fresh-flowing stream,
And call it lovely too;
But lovelier is the maiden's form,
That thus admires the view.

Then, Annie, come to our Toon-end,
And view Comlongon's Tower ;
The hawthorn-bush that scents sae sweet
Will form our lady's bower,
And give an odour to the breeze.
That freshens every hour.

Then, lovely Annie, come again
To s%eet Comlongon's bower ;
There you'll find one who loves to pluck
For thee a modest flower:
Yea, maiden, thou shalt yet return,
By flowery path and wimpling burn
To rove as heretofore!

HUMAN SACRIFICES IN GOOMSOOR.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—For the last three or four
days a most painful degree of excitement has prevailed in
Sheerness, Queenborough, and Chatham, in consequence of
the report that an old seaman, 56 years of age, belonging to
her majesty's ship Wellington, lying in ordinary in the
Medway, near the royal dockyard, had been killed by a war-
rant-officer of the same vessel. It appears, that on Thurs-
day last, being pay-day, several boats came ashore from the
different ships in the river. Amongst them was the crew of
the Wellington, under the command of Mr. Ward, the
warrant-officer. There were with them three women (the
wife and daughter of Ward, and the wife of one of the crew
named Sheppard.) There were two other seamen, named
Kingdom, and a boy, besides Maxwell, the unfortunate de-
ceased. After the receipt of their pay, they all proceeded to
the Fountain Tavern, situate near the pier. They remained
drinking until after dark, with the exception of Maxwell and
the boy. On leaving the inn at a late hour, they were scarcely
able to walk to the ship's boat, then lying off the pier. They
managed to crawl into it, and it was put off, Ward taking
charge of the tiller; Maxwell, Kingdom, Sheppard, and the
boy manned the oars. The boat, instead of being steered
down the river towards the spot where the Wellington was
moored, was steered across, and raa ashore. Maxwell, find-
ing this was the case, and being sober, offered to take charge
of the tiller, saying, " Master, you, had better let me steer
for you." Ward, with an oath, replied, "If you think
you can steer better than me, you had better come and
do it." Maxwell got up for the purpose of going to the
tiller, when the boat ran aground. Ward swore at Maxwell,
declaring, that it would not have happened if he had not
made himself so officious. Maxwell made some reply, when
Ward snatched up one of the stretchers of the boat, and
struck Maxwell a violent blow with it on the face, which
knocked him down. Maxwell got up, and a scuffle ensued,
in the midst of which Ward pulled out a large clasp-knife,
and rushing towards him swore, " he would rip his b-y
guts up." Maxwell, to avoid the blow, sprang towards the
gunwale of the boat, and perceiving Ward following him,
jumped overboard, and was seen no more. He was unable
to swim. The statements of the crew differ materially, but
the boy declares that Maxwell was knocked overboard by the
blow on the head by the stretcher, whilst others say he was
swept away by the sea on jumping over. The boy, however,
was the only one sober, except the deceased. Although
orders have not yet been received from the Admiralty with
respect to Ward, the warrant-officer, it is expected, should
the body not be found, that he will be tried by a special court-
martial for drunkenness and disobedience of orders, and
afterwards be delivered over to the civil authorities of
Sheerness.

(From an Indian paper.)
" Meria Pooja", or human sacrifice, takes place once a
year in one or other of the confederate mootas in succession.
The victims are stolen from the low country, or are brought
from some other distant part, and sold to those mootas where
the sacrifices are performed. If children, they are kept until
they attain a proper age. This cruel ceremony is thus per-
formed :—When the appointed day arrives, the Khunds as-
semble from all parts of the country, dressed in their finery,
some with bear-skins thrown over their shoulders, others
with the tails of peacocks flowing behind them, and the long
winding feather of the jungle cock waving on their heads.
Thusr decked out they dance, leap, and rejoice, beating
drums and playing on an instrument not unlike in sound to
the Highland pipe. Soon after noon the jani, or presiding
priest, with the aid of his assistants, fastens the unfortunate
victim to a strong post, which has been firmly fixed into the
ground,

HORRID MURDER AT DARFIELD, NEAR BARNSLEY.—
It is our painful duty to lay before our readers the following
particulars connected with one of the most diabolical and
coolly-premeditated murders that has ever been committed
in this part of the country. What renders the event, if
possible, more shocking, is the fact that the unfortunate vic-
tim was assassinated by mistake, owing, it is supposed, to
his being in age, appearance, and dress, very similar to the
person marked out for the murderers' dreadful pursese. The
deceased was a young man of the name of Thomas Depledge,
about 21 years of age, and was a farming servant in the
service of Mr. Timothy Heptenstall, of Billingley, near
Darfield. The murder was committed on the turnpike road
between those two places, and very near the cross roads
leading from Darfield to Doncaster, Pontefract, and Rother-
ham. It appears, that on the night of Monday last, two
boat-haulers, named Joseph and William Lodge, residing at
Wombwell, were returning from Barnsley fair ; and when
they had got as far as Measbrough Hill, a short distance from
Barnsley, they became engaged in a quarrel with two men,
named Marsden and Mills, who were walking on the road.
Joseph Lodge got off his horse, and attacked the two men ;
giving one a severe bite on the cheeek, and almost biting the
fingers off the hand of the other. He received himself some
very severe scratches and bruises, which seem to have ex-
asperated him, and roused him to a determination of deadly
revenge. Marsden and Mills having picked up the hat which
Joseph Lodge had lost in the scuffle, proceeded on their road
home. and called at the Ring of Bells public-house at Dar-
field Bridge, where they met with Thomas Depledge and
some companions, who were also returning from the fair.
In the meantime, the two Lodges, who are brothers, had
gone back to Barnsley, evidently with the intention of
collecting a force for the purpose of assisting in their re-
vengeful purpose. They called with their companions,
one of whom was a nephew named John Lodge, at all
the beer-houses and public-houses on the road ; and at
length, their friends having left them, the three Lodges en-
tered the public-house at Darfield-bridge, where they found
Joseph's hat on the table, and saw the two men with whom
they had quarrelled. Some suspicious expaesions fell from
them there ; and they were perceived to be watching for
Marsden and Mills leaving the house. Some evil purpose
was so apparent, that Mills was strongly advised not to leave
the house that night. At length, however, Marsden and
Mills, along with Depledge and several others, left the house,
and proceeded homewards, towards Billingley. When they
had got to the Milnhouses, a short distance from Darfield,
the two former went forward before the others. At the cross
roads they had gained ground a good deal ; and near this
place, Depledge, it is in consequence of hearing
footsteps behind, and wishful to apprise the men of some
danger, left his friends, and proceeded forward at a quicker
pace. Joseph and William Lodge then came up, spoke to
the party behind, and walked sharply past. One was in his
shirt sleeves, which were doubled up, and carried a large
hedge stake. Whan they had gone about one hundred yards
further, a very severe blow was heard by those who were in
the rear. They hastened forward, and found their• companion
Depledge lying bleeding on the road. On raising him up, he

BISHOPRIC OF JERUSALEM.—A Protestant Bishopric is
about to be established at Jerusalem. In this good work the
King of Prussia, who takes a deep interest in the Jewish
people, cordially concurs with our church, and the expense
of the undertaking is to be borne in no inconsiderable degree
by that admirable prince. The bishopric was first tendered
to Dr. M'Caul, the well-known Hebrew scholar ; but he de-
clined, simply on the plea, that, in his judgment, a Jew ought
to be raised to the episcopate. In conformity with this view
of the subject, the office was proposed to, and has been ac-
cepted by, Mr. Alexander, the well-known Hebrew Pro-
fessor, in King's College. Our readers are aware that Mr.
Alexander is a converted Jew—that for many years he has
' borne a consistent Christian character, vindicating the integ-
rity of his conversion to the Christian faith, and that he is
highly esteemed for his li,erary acquirements, as well as his
high-toned piety. The choice is one fitted to give universal
satisfaction. Mr. Alexander, we understand, will be conse-
crated to this high and most interesting office by the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury. The present emoluments of the see
will be £1,200 a-year ; and it has been arranged that, in the
progress and furtherance of the work, not only shall the
Bishop of Jerusalem consecrate English clergymen, duly qua-
lified, but olso Germans, who subscribe, as the confession of
their faith, the Augsburg Confession. In short, it would
appear, the whole enterprise has been conceived and advanced
in a true spirit of enlarged Christian charity and brotherly
love, the further extension of which is to be greatly desired.
WANTON DAMAGE IN SOWERBY BRIDGE CHURCH.—
On Thursday night some scoundrels sacrilegiously broke into
the church at Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire, and committed
the most flagrant spoliation in it. They entered the vestry
at the west end of the church by taking out a diamond in the
window containing sixteen small panes, after which they
proceeded to a closet in the vestry in which a surplice was
hanging ; this they tore in pieces ; an umbrella which was
also in the closet shared the same fate. They then proceeded
to the font in the ante-church. The font which was built of
stove, they took in three pieces, which they seem to have
carefully laid down, for no part of it was otherwise injured.
The bowl which was a leaden one they bent and placed on a
bench. They then proceeded up the north aisle to the pul-
pit, the stair-railing of which they broke at the lower part.
Entering the pulpit they tore open the cushion and strewed
the feathers down the steps and on the pews adjoining ; and
then broke off the gas apparatus. After this the communion
table appeared to have been the next object of their violence,
the cloth being torn in tatters, and the cushions belonging
the table were also destroyed. They then proceeded to the
reading-desk the stair-railing of which they also broke. The
large prayer book they tore completely in two at the middle,
and the backs were severed from it. The large bible was also
greatly mutilated, and the backs torn off. The carpeting of
the steps was also torn, and the gas apparatus broken down,
and the velvet cloth destroyed, and left hanging in tatters.
A reward of .C2O has been offered for the depredators.
SINGULAR AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Mr. W. Baker,
a highly respectable maltster, in Statten-street, in this city,
has been a victim, in an amount exceeding £7OO, to the fol-
lowing nefarious scheme of depredation. Mr. Baker has a
clerk, James Rees, who, with his wife, resides on the pre-
mises. They have a son, John Rees, aged about eighteen,
who sometimes slept in the shop. In Mr. Baker's counting-
house is a strong iron safe, the upper part of which forms
shelves for ledgers, &c., and below these is a drawer (having
a lock) in which is kept the cash box. Some time ago the
key of this drawer was missing, which excited some surprise
in Mr. Baker; but a new key was made, which he always
since kept in his possession. Some weeks after this hap-
pened, Mr. Baker, on coming to his office in the morning,
found the door of the safe perforated above the lock, and
the lock removed. He inquired of Rees, sen., how this
happened ; who answered that, on applying the key to the
lock, which he supposed must have been tampered with, he
found the key would not work ; and he bad sent to a lock-
smith, who informed him that it was necessary to remove the
lock, which could only be done by perforating the door, in
order to rectify the key. In a few days the lock and key
were returned, and Mr. Baker was astonished at finding that
the old, and formerly rusty, key appeared bright and new.
Rees said he supposed the locksmith had polished it up. On
Monday morning last, Rees, sen., on going to the office,
found the safe door open, with the old key in it ; the drawer
open ; the cash-box gone; and his own son non est. The
cash-box contained £BO in gold, £36 in bank notes, and
about £7OO in checks and negotiable bills. He immediately
mentioned the state of the safe to his wife, who took the
rusty key out of the safe, and broke it in pieces. (Together
with young Rees is missing a boy named Jefferies : it is sup-
posed they are confederates, and gone to London.) Rees,
sen., after this, locked the safe with the new key, and sat
down at his desk. When Mr. Baker arrived, some time
after, he had occasion to go to his cash-box, and then disco-
vered the robbery. " Rees," said he, " somebody has stolen
the cash-box," " The cash-box, sir 1" said Rees with great
earnestness, affecting to know nothing of the matter. Mr.
Baker then set about making inquiries himself, and ascer-
tained from the locksmith that the key of his safe was not
the old key, but a new one, and also learnt other particulars.
which, with those afforded by a private examination of the
elder Rees before the magistrates, we have given above. In-
: formation has been given of the facts at the London police-
: offices, and a search is making for the boys.—Bristol Journal.
CONSERVATIVES LOOK ABOUT You !—The whigs are
very fond of declaiming against fagot voters, but they are
never loth to resort to the use when they will promote their
' political ends. Whilst the conservatives have been quietly
resting upon their 9ars, the whigs have been zealously and
steadily at work, since the registration of 1840, in manufac-
turing whig voters for the West Riding; and to this is owing
the great advantage which that party has gained upon the
revision now going on. It appears from the tabular state-
ment in another column, that although the conservatives
made a much fewer number of objections, they have suc-
ceeded in striking off a much larger number of improper
claimants than the whigs have done. Their succsss is, how-
ever, neutralised by the great number of new claims sent in
by the whigs. As a specimen of the way in which the whigs
manage these matters we transcribe the following notification
which has been seta to us printed in glaring red letters on
the back of a pge stamped envelope. Every conserva-
tive _cessin the means ought to qualify his son or cousin,
pos..
or nephew, or friend, as a voter, without delay, in order to
u
the machinations of our political opponents.

MORNING.
Ten minutes before Eight, Twenty minutes past Nine, and

The Twenty minutes past Ten o'clock Train is in time for the
Crewe train to London.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 15.
Our arrivals of Wheat are large to-day,. a good portion of which
is New ; for the latter the sale is very difficult, and, where pressed,
rather lower prices must be taken; Old, on the contrary, is ;s per
quarter dearer than on this day se'nnight. Fine Barley fetches as
much money, but our malsters pay no attention to other sorts.
Oats and Shellings are rather higher. Beans steady. No variation
in other articles.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 18.
The actual consumptive demand for Butter continues trilling ; at
the same time we may state that holders are very generally con-
fident that prices will not be lower for the residue of the season ;
our last quotations are therefore fully supported. We notice some
improvement in the pickled Butter market, and are of opinion that
an advance of Is to .2s per cwt. is pretty commonly obtainable.
There is not any visible alteration in the currency or consumption
of barrelled provisions. A few small lots of new Bacon have ap-
peared, for which 58s to 60s is asked.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, OCTOBER 15.
(From the Circular of Messrs. Dawson .5. Hance.)
Our public sales of Colonial and other Wools commenced yes-
terday and closed this evening, and although there was a con-
siderable attendance of the trade, yet we marked the absence of
many influential buyers.
The New South Wales Wools sold with tolerable spirit, but de-
cidedly lower than in our August sales, or in the London sales of
last month.
The other descriptions of Foreign Wool went off very languidly,
and for the most part, muck lower than the rates, which have been
for some time obtained by private contract.
The best qualities of East India and Buenos Ayres Wools ob-
tained full rates, whilst the inferior burry and seedy descriptions of
both, realised prices, which in many instances will not cover even
freight and charges. This result must direct attention to the
washing, cleaning and picking of the Wool before shipment,
which alone will render these wools profitable to the importers
and more agreable to both brokers and consumers.
We do not recollect so large a collection of trash being offered
for sale at any period, its character may be estimated from our quo-
tations and the langour which prevaded the room as soon as the
sale of the fine Wools terminated.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 15.
The duty on Foreign Wheat has advanced to 20s. Bd., on
Pease to ss. per quarter, on Flour to 12s. sd. per barrel, and
upon all other Foreign Grain is increased one step over the
rates payable in the week ending yesterday. The impost on
British Colonial Wheat is now ss. per quarter, and on Flour
3s. per barrel.
The arrivals from abroad continue moderate ; those from
Ireland arc a little on the increase, and we have to notice
since Tuesday several thousand quarters of Wheat coastwise,
which will shortly be followed by a fair supply of this Grain
now on the passage from London ; the latter, however, is not
likely to be repeated, in any material quantity, for the pre-
sent at least.
The general transactions within the past two days have
been rather unimportant, though we cannot state any dimi-
nution of firmness on the part of holders, and prices have
been very fully supported for all articles of the trade, the ad-
vancing duties and the decrease which a large demand has
effected in our stocks of Wheat and Flour during the last
few weeks, giving a very steady tone to the market, which a
continuance of wet and cold weather, as advised from various
parts of the country, has also tended to strengthen.
This morning we have had a limited attendance of buyers,
and the sales of Wheat on a corresponding scale, though at
the full currency of Tuesday, except for new Irish parcels,
which, from their inferior condition, are offered 2d to 3d per
bushel cheaper, with little effect.
Flour was in fair request at the rates of Tuesday. Little
passing in Beans and Peas to-day, and the value unaltered.
In Oats scarcely any business occurred, but they are held
steadily for late prices.
Since our last several purchases of Oatmeal have been
made for keeping over, and the value of both new and old
may be atated 6d per load higher.

We remember once to have heard Mr. Hook sing a song
upon a company of 60 persons, each verse containing an
epigram. Sheridan was present, and expressed his opinion
that it was one of the most extraordinary exertions of human
intellect that he had ever witnessed.—GalOnani's Messenger.
The following are the receipts of the leading railways for
the past week, that is to say up to the date to which the re-
spective returns are made :—Brighton, £2,257 ; Blackwall,
£850; Hull and Selby, £1,026; York and North Midland,
£1,817; North Midland, £4,639; Midland Counties, £5,873 ;
Birmingham and Derby, £1,193 ; Great Western, £13,285 ;
Manchester and Birmingham, =8299; Eastern Counties,
£B2l ; and Great North of England, £1,267.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 15.
Our market was unusually quiet for Friday morning, but
the arrival of the Sheridan, from New York, bringing ac-
counts of disturbances on the border, gave a little impetus to
it, and fully 4000 bales have been sold, some hundreds on spe-
culation. The sales of the week are 23,190 bales. Prices
very similar to those of Friday last. The arrival of the
Halifax steamer is looked for with intense anxiety.
