HONEST JOHN BULL AND HIS MOTHER.

Here 's a health to honest Joi.; Bum. !
When he 's gone we shan't find such another :
With hearts and with glasses brim full,
Here 's a health to Britannia, his mother!
For she gave him a good education,
Bid him keep to his Church and his King,
Be loyal and true to the nation,
And then to be merry, and sing
Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay.
For JOHN is a good-natur'd
Industrious, honest, and brave;
Not afraid of his betters when mellow,
For betters he knows he must have.
There must be fine lords and fine ladies,
There must be a•-• Lie little, some great ;
Their wealth support of our trade is,
Our trade the support of their state.
Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay.
Some were born for the Court and the city, •
And some for the village and cot ;
For 't would be a dolorous ditty,
Were we all born equal in lot.
If our ships bad no pilots to steer,
What would come of poor Jack on the shrouds ?
And our troops, no commanders to feat',
Would soon be armed robbers in crowds.
Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay.
The plough and the loom would stand still,
Were we made gentlemen all ;
All clodhoppers, who then would fill
The parliament, pulpit, and hall ?
Rights of man make a very fine sound,
Equal riches a plausible tale ;
Whose labours would then till the ground?
All would drink, but who'd brew the best ale ?

Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay.
Half naked and starved in the streets,
Were we wandering about sans culotte*,
Would liberty find us in meat,
Or equality lengthen our coats?
That knaves are for lev'ling no wonder,
You may easily guess at their views,
Pray, who'd get the most by the plunder ?
Why they that have nothing to lose.
Fol de rol, folds rol, fol de rol, lay.
Then, away with such nonsense and stuff,
Full of treason, confusion, and blood,
Ev'ry Briton has freedom enough
To be happy as long as he's good.
To be rul'd by a merciful King !
To be governed by Jury and laws ;
Then, let us be merry and sing,
This! this is true Liberty's cause.
Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 8.
The week has closed with a continued scene of animation in our
Butter market. We do not however alter our quotations of yes-
terday. The important event of the Queen's marriage on Monday
next, will of course cause a total suspension of commercial busi-
ness in " The good old Town." ---k" God save the Queen."

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 8.
With the exception of about 13,200 loads of Oatmeal from Ire-
land, the supplies of .British produce, this week, have been light.
Of foreign Wheat there has arrived 0300 quarters, nearly all from
Mediterranean pot ts, and the greater portion of it was released for
home consumption,.at 20s ad per quarter duty. The impost is now
increased to 21s ad per quarter on Wheat, and 13s Ofd per barrel on
Flour. There has been less activity in the Wheat trade throughout
this week, the millers and dealers purchasing only for present
wants still, holders are, generally, very firm, and, at our market,
yesterday. they were enabled not only to sustain prices, but, in
someinstances, to obtain a small advance on the rates of Tuesday
last. , American duty-paid-Flour has sold with moderate freedom at
43s to 415 per barrel; but .of this article in bond very few sales are
reported : there are buyers still at 303 per barrel, but importers,
generally; require 30s lid to 31s per barrel. Oats have moved
slowly, but, in the limited business transacted, rather better prices
have been realised for good mealing qualities. Oatmeal is without
alteration in value, and the market is now abundantly supplied.
The sales of Barley, Beans and Peas have been only in retail, at
late prices.

Tea. Since the arrival of the Marmion, from Canton, there has
been very little business doing, the Trade generally not being dis-

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.--The appearance of gradual improvement,
which appeared in this market a few weeks ago, appears to
have entirely vanished, -and the general dulness of last week
appeared to have deepened into a general gloom yesterday.
The demand for yarn and goods of all kinds was extremely
limited, and lower prices were very generally submitted to.
.This unfavourable state of things was probably aggravated
by the announcement of several failures in the town and
neighbourhood, one or two of which are to a rather serious
extent.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. 8.-To-
day has been a very dull market ; indeed but few buyers have
attended, and the business clone has been extremely limited.
There has been no change in prices. In the wool market
there is no alteration to report.—Manchester Guardian.
BLACKBURN.-Our trade has been getting worse during
the past week, and up to this day it is really flat and unsatis-
factory. Some descriptions of yarn are lower in price ; mo-
ney is exceedingly scarce, and, taken as a whole, the pros-
pect for spring trade is anything but a flattering one.—Black-
burn Standard

DUNDEE.—The business done in linens during the bygone
week has been greater than for a number of weeks past,
though we can as yet state no improvement in the prices of
flax, yarns, or linens. There have been some inquiries after
the coarser descriptions of yarns, suitable for the manufac-
ture of cotton bagging, an article that has long been a drug
in our market, which would induce the belief that it is again
likely to be in demand. The reduction of the rate of inte-
rest by the Bank of England, and the late accounts from
America, afford a more cheering prospect for our manufac-
turers than they have had for some time back.—Dundee
Courier.

The disastrous state of our financial affairs so clearly dis-
played in the luminous speech -of the Earl of Ripon, is not
to be actrihuted to increased expenditure alone, however
profuse a whig administration may be to its creatures and
dependents. The energies of this country have of late years
been so wonderfully developed that the old taxes would, in
the natural course of things, have produced an increase in
the revenue, sufficient to .counterbalance even whig extrava-
gance, if public affairs had been managed with anything like
ordinary ability and discretion. In our last publication we
had occasion to animadvert upon the gross incapacity of the
government in respect to Chinese affairs, by which we shall
lose at least four millions sterling of revenue in tea duty, and
to-day we shall show how the same incapacity and inattention
diminishes our revenue from tobacco, notwithstanding that
the consumption of this article is notoriously increased. This
fact is so clearly established in the petition of the manufac-
turers "of Newcastle tothe House of Commons, after all their
efforts to induce the government to do its duty had proved
fruitless, that we shall content ourselves with merely pub-
lishing that' petition, and .allow it to produce its own effect,
without the aid of further comment from us :

THE SHIPPING.

Never was there a more splendid display than on this
occasion at the docks, which are now " choke full" of ship-
ping. Every vessel was more or less decorated with beau-
tiful flags, amongst which those of England and America
predominated. The breeze blew fresh throughout the day,
and as every tangible piece of bunting was put into requisi-
tion, the effect was truly splendid. Not only were flags of
all nations, including the tri-color of France and the eagle of
Prussia, seen proudly waving in the wind in brilliant colours,
but signal And fancy flags of all imaginable kinds were
hoisted in honour of the occasion. The effect, as seen from
any point embracing a view of several of the docks, was gor-
geous. The commanders of ships of all nations sheaved their
good feeling and sympathy with the people of this country,
by giving, in addition to their own, the British flag a promi-
nent place at their mast heads. All the usual quay business
was suspended ; but thousands crowded the quays, and
yielded to the general enthusiasm. The vessels in the river
were equally loyal. Her Majesty's steam-ships and tenders
were crowded with flags from stem to stern, and cannon
were frequently fired from vessels at anchor.

Thine anger burns to generations four—
My sins, my fathers' sins, too, have been great ;
But thou art merciful to thousands more
Of them that love thee—and I LOVE THEE YET. •
O with what agonies my soul was torn,
As day by day with pain thy lip was curl'd, .
My guileless babe ! What sorrow, then, was borne
By Him the surety for a guilty world!
Death's sting is sin—to this a stranger thou;
In all its weight with sin familiar He
Who bore the cross with thorn-encircled brow,
Thui to propitiate for his own—for thee.
For ever now, my child, thy pangs are o'er ;
Again shall change nor chance affect thy rest ;
My comfort this, thy recent struggles more-
Enhance thy rapture with the spirits blest.
Then in thy hallelujahs let me join :
My faith would tune, but nature slacks the chord
Thankful, not joyful, baby, I resign,—
And thou wilt hear my brol<en song, good Lord.

THE MARROW-BONES AND CLEAVERS.
THREE NUPTIAL SONNETS FOR NEXT VALENTINE MORNING,
DEDICATED TO PRINCE ALBERT OF SAXE-COBURG-GOTHA

BY SIR MORGAN O'DOHERTY, BART.
Music of England ! which barbarians vile
Of ears not fitted for harmonious sound
Will call rough music—symphony renowned
Through all the lengthened annals of our isle
Str ke up ! Let softer lands their souls beguile
With softer instrument. No foreign bound,
Spaniard, or Portuguese, of -phiz ernbrowned,
Or quavering scion of Italian soil, •
Scraped from the fiddle, whistled through the flute,
Squeaked in the fife, or strummed on the guitar
On banks of Tagus, Po, or Guadal-quiver,
Notes which with thine the mastery can dispute
For force or melody in love or war,
Our own immortal marrow-bone and cleaver!!
jn Lockhart's ballads (page I quite forget—
] mean the ballads which that LL.D.
Of Rhedycina did pretend that he
Had from Castilian lingo overset,
Scorning precise fidelity, but yet
Breathing forth bursts of charming song, which we
In romancer° tome will never see,)
You'll read, in our prime favourite of the set,—
" Rise up, rise up, Xarifa !" how the maid
Was by sweet voices urged in frequent suit
To lay her cushion down, and mark the going
Of him who once false love to her hid played,
As on his wedding-day " the lovely lute
Did sound between the trumpets' lordly blowing."
No lovely lute, no trumpets loud alarms,
Should hail the morning of St. Valentine,
That morn selected as most fit to shine •
On fair Victoria i‘-• her blushing charms,
Clasped for the fir.-..t time in a husband's arms.
No I Royal Lady, this old realm of thine
Hath organs which in noblerconcert join—
Meaning to say, " No fear of hostile harms
Shall keep the men of true-born British bone
From dashing boldly on the opposing steel ;
And that the steel of Britain shall be seen
Ready at Beauty's call." In loudest tone
Strike then, while Windsor's bells their joy-notes peal—
Strike, marrow-bones end cleavers, for the Queen 1
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-02-11

It was a matter of general remark that her Majesty went
through the service in a most composed and dignified manner.
The slight nervousness which was apparent when the Queen
first 'entered the chapel soon left her, and in a few minutes
she .seemed in full posSession of her usual spirits.
The ceremony concluded at half-past one.

DEPARTURE FOR WINDSOR.
At the conclusion of the breakfast her Majesty retired to
prepare for her departure for Windsor, whither she was.
accompanied .by Prince Albert and a very limited suite,
including only, we believe, the Lord' and Lady- in 'Waiting,
Groom of the Chamber, Equerry, two Maids of Honour,
and two or three other attendants on the royal person. The
domestic servants had previously set out for the Castle, to be
in readiness to receive her Majesty and her Consort, who in
all court proceedings will simply be styled " Prince Albert."

FOREIGN MISCELLANY,

HANOVER, JAN. 17.—Dr. Graafe, from Berlin, was lately
here, and again examined the eyes of Prince George ; but we
are sorry to hear that he was not able to hold out greater
hopes than before. We hear from good authority that the
convocation of the Estates is deferred, and will certainly not
take pleice before March.'

Prince Alfred de Schoenburg, Chamberlain and Privy
Councillor to the Emperor of Austria, died suddenly on the
14th inst. The Prince had just dressed to join a grand din-
ner party given by Prince Metternich, to which he was going
with Prince Puckler Muskau, when he fell down in an apo-
plectic fit and expired immediately.
The Grand Duchy which belongs to the family of the Prin-
cess Victoria Augusta Antoinette of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the
future Duchess de Nemours, comprises 9 cities, 9 towns, and
449 villages. The duchy counts 24,979 houses. Gotha con-
tains 10,500 inhabitants, and Coburg 10,706. The popula-
tion of the two duchies amounts to 140,650 souls, of whom
135,230 are Protestants, 3,210 Catholics, and 2,210 Jews.
The revenue of the duchy amounts to £83,000 sterling a-
year, and the expenses to at least as much. The State owes
nearly three' years' income (upwards of 6,000,000 francs).—
Capitole.
The Princess Victoria Augusta Antoinette of Saxe
Coburg Gotha," says the Univers, "is a Catholic. Her fa-
ther, Duke Ferdinand, was a Protestant, but it is said he
has long since returned to the bosom of the Catholic church.
The family of the Princess of Kohary was always Catholic,
and amongst its possessions are some which only Catholics
can inherit. In marrying the Princess Mary Duke Ferdi-
nand must have engaged to bring up his children in the Ca-
tholic religion, and he has kept his engagement. His son,
the King of Portugal, is a Catholic, as well as the young
Princess."

(From our Second Edition of Friday.).
By the packet-ship Columbus, Capt. Cropper, which
arrived here this morning, we have received New York
papers to the 20th ultimo, inclusive. The Columbus
has had a remarkably quick passage, considering the
tempestuous weather which has latterly prevailed. She
has brought home, no specie. She had ten passengers
onboard.
The last advices received from England at New York
were -up to the 14th of December, by the packet-ship
Garrick. The intelligence taken out by the Garrick
operated favourably upon the markets at New York.
At Philadelphia business was dull, caused partly by
the cold weather, which had so completely closed the

FRAUDS IN THE TOBACCO TRADE.

(From the Newcastle Journal.)

The disastrous state of our financial affairs so clearly dis-
played in the luminous speech of the Earl of Ripon, is not
to be actributed to increased expenditure alone, however
profuse a *hig administration may be to its creatures and
dependents. The energies of this country have of late year's.
been so wonderfully developed that the old taxes Would, in
the-natural course of things, have produced an increase in
the revenue, sufficient to. counterbalance even Whig extrava-
gance, if public affairs had been managed with anything like
ordinary ability and discretion.. In our last publication we
had occasion to animadvert upon the gross incapacity of the
government in respect to Chinese affairs, by which we shall
lose at least four millions sterling of revenue in tea duty, and
to-day we shall show how the same incapacity and inattention
diminishes our revenue from tobacco, notwithstanding that
the consumption of this article is notoriously increased. This
fact is so clearly established in the petition of the manufac-
turers of Newcastle tothe House of Commons, after all their
efforts to induce the government to do its duty had proved
fruitless, that
.we shall content ourselves with merely pub-
lishing, that petition, and allow it to produce its own effect,
without the -aid of further comment from-us • • _
