GURMANY.—A casual observer might spend six months in
Germany, particularly in Rhenish Germany, and carry away
an impression that the men were never without pipes in their
mouths, or the women without knitting-needles in their
hands. I once saw the body of a drowned woman taken out
of the Rhine, round which five anxious individuals were
clustered, labouring to minister to its resuscitation. Not one

of them dreamed of removing his pipe from his mouth, while
the work of life and death was proceeding under his bands !
Nay, I once saw a fair Tedescon exposed to the soliciting of
a lover, eloquent as Mephistopheles, impassioned as St.
Preux, tender as Romeb, enterprising as Lovelace, and hand-
'
—who proceeded the while with
ustriously as the witch of the

kntonin d

her lambswool stocking as ind
Caucasus. Ido not say who i

..6—the name of the parties
is nothing to the purpose ; but she plied those two long,
black, whalebone knitting-needles as if the fate of the uni-
verse hung upon her stitches. But lest any unkind person—
and the world to which I write is as bitter as Rochfocault's
maxims or the elder daughters of Lear—should ascribe th•
imperturbility of the heroine to lack of merit in the hero,
beg to add, that I have seen in the Hef Theatre of Vienna,
'the central heart of German civilisation) a gentle creature
.eep Danubes of tears over the sorrows of Thekla, or the
,es of Amalia--then, almost ere the curtain fell, certainly
're the bodies were cleared from the stage, quietly re-as-
her confounded knitting-needles, as though they con-
',rim for her wounded feelings ! As to me, I swear
'opatra had invited me to sail with her on the Cyd-
-ler her purple canopy chosen to amuse herself
~r though the stocking or brace were destined

ing of her majestic elbows.—Cecil, or the Adventures of a

DREADFUL MURDER.—With great regret, indeed, we have

the county Clare—dreadful, truly, as regards the individual

Mr. Thomas Brew, of Shyau, near Kilrush, was mur-

We may easily conceive the state of her feelings on such an

occasion, but we own to depict them is beyond our power.
That this has been a premeditated act there is no room to
doubt, and we are doubly pained to think that the state of

almost their absolute ruin.—Dublin paper.

CORN-CUTTING—OR CUTTING THE TOES—AND TARING
TO THE HEELS.—On Wednesday se'nnight, two musta-
chioed individuals, of the masculine gender, dressed in most
gorgeous apparel, one of them bearing the name of Rem-
1, describing himself " the chiropedist general to the
of Prussia," and describing his companion as my young
man, made their appearance in Ulverston, and forthwith
proceeded to seek lodgings, and rooms (about the selection
and splendour of which they were very fastidious) wherein to
display their skill in extracting those roots of evil, called
corns, from human toes. The people of Ulverston were duly
informed by a circular of Monsieur Rembrand's kind inten-
tions towards them ; and he, and " his, young man," in

order to make themselvesbetier known to the public, on the
two or three days succeeding their arrival, were in the habit
of walking the streets, and pulling off their hats to well'
dressed ladies, whose gait might lead to a suspicion of corns ;
and also of making so free as to pop their whiskered physi-
ognomies under their bonnets. These adventurers carried
on their operations till Sunday last ; on the morning of which
day a newspaper arrived from Whitehaven at the Ulverston
news-room, giving an exact description of Monsieur, and
" his young man," and Rembrand's name—and mentioning
that the twain had contrived to get into debt with many of
the tradesmen of Whitehaven and Carlisle, and had been so
very forgetful as to leave those towns without satisfying their
creditors. This newspaper was, of course, shewn by some
very good natured friend to monsieur, and " his young
man," on Sunday afternoon, and excited in them all that
wrath which might be expected. Monsieur forthwith pro-
ceeded to give instructions to an attorney to commence an

action against the Whitehaven paper for libel ; but unfortu-
nately the attorney had that same morning received instruc-
tions from Mr. Gibson, the proprietor of the Cumberland
Pacquet to sue Monsieur Rembrand for a debt of £2 lOs for
printing monsieur's circulars in the town of Whitehaven.
Monsieur was, of course, much taken aback when informed
of this—began to cool about the libel. action—and politely
promised to pay the debt on the following morning. The
same day (Sunday) the superintendent of the police in Ulver.
ston also received intelligence from Carlisle of Monsieur's
proceedings in that city, where he had succeeded in obtaining
from one old lady the munificent fee of £l6, for giving her
ease from corns all the rest of her days. The plan adopted
to obtain so large an honorarium was this ; his charge for
extracting a corn was ss, but if it was found that the extracted
corn had more that one root, 5s more was charged for each
root extra. Could it be believed that any rational being could
allow herself to be so imposed upon ? On Monday morning
Rembrand and " his young man " were no longer visible in
Ulverston, monsieur excepit, evasit, erupt, to Lan-
easter.—Laneaster Gazette.

Ten.—ln the early part of the week there was a gOod demand for
low green Teas, for export, and a fair business- done, at the full
prices. The accounts by the overland mail, which arrived here on
the loth instant, caused a good inquiry for all descriptions, but the
holders were very firm, and generally withdrew their Teas from the
market.

On Wednesday considerable sales of Shell Lac, Lac Dye, Bz.c.
were brought forward, but only 170 chests of the lower qualities of
the former sold, at 34s to 4gs 6d per cwt., and 50 chests of the
latter at 61d to 20d per lb; besides which, 50 bales of Safflower
were taken at .t'3 15s to 7s 6d, 850 pockets of Linseed at sls
to 52s 300 of Turmeric at 23s to 245, 1000 of Seed Lac at 16s per
cwt., and 70 bales of Senna at 5/d to Sid per lb. A few serons of
Guatimala Indigo brought 3s 11d to 4s ad, and a few chests of
Bengal 6s to tis 6d. In Saltpetre the sales have been 1600 bags, at
ass 6d to 35s for good quality; and of Nitrate of Soda three cargoes
have been sold, to arrive, at 21s (id to 21s pd per cwt., and 600 bags
chefly at at 24s being an advance of fully is per cwt.
Dyewoods.—The sales are very moderate, consisting only of 61
tons Campeachy Logwood at lOs to .ep 15s, 20 tons Jamaica at
0 Iss ; 60 tons Cuba Fustic at seg Is to .tv los; 30 tons Lima
Nicaragua Wood. at £l2 10 to .13, and 20 tons Sapan Wood at
.'l3 as tid to .el 3 15s per ton. No sales having taken place it.
Turpentine or Tar, the former quotations are continued; there
have been some speculative inquiries, but they have led to no
result. SoMe trifling 'sales of Pot and Pearl Ashes have been
made at previcus prices. Hides.—About 130 dry Valparaiso Ox
and Cow have been sold at 61d, 1300 inferior salted Monte Video
Ox at 4d, with 51b. tare, and 1130 inferior dry salted Pernambuco
at 4id per lb. Tobacco.—The recent news from America has, as
might be expected, caused very great excitement in the Tobacco
market, and holders having been unwilling sellers during the week,
an advance of 1 d per lb has been obtained, there being still a good
demand and but little offering. The sales are estimated at 600 hhds.,
of which probably-400 were to Speculators.

The /Justness in Brimstone continues on a limited scale, without
change in prices. Sumac goes oft heavily, and in most instances
lower prices have been submitted to; 000 bags of Verona sold at
6s 3d to 6s 6d, and small lots of new Sicily at 12s per cwt. The
principal sales in Argols are about 7 tons white Florence at 47s per
cwt. No sales are reported in Persian Berries or Flag Annatto,
though several parcels of each have been offered at auction in the
course of the week. The demand for AI adders and Roots continues
moderate, at previous rates.. Small sales of New York and
Quercitron Bark have been effected at 12s and 13 per cwt. Only
a limited business has been done this week in Olive Oil; the sales
have been principally by dealers, who hold the largest proportion
of the stocks, and prices have been fully maintained. Fish Oils
are dull of sale; the business during the week has been quite un-
important, and prices are almost nominal. Linseed Oil seems tope
recovering from the depression that has for a long time prevailed,
and the advanced price of 31s per cwt. has in some instances been
obtained ; pale rape is steady. Oil of Turpentine, although a good
deal inquired for, is not very ready of sale at the present quotation,
Palm Oil has improved ; a sale of 500 or 600 tons was made early
in the week, the exact price of which has not transpired ; and about
100 tons have since been sold et ,e 34 les to £35, being an advance
of fully £1 per ton. In Hemp and Flax the business is very limited,
and Petersburg Hemp has a tendency to rather lower prices ; 100
bales Jute brought £l4 ins, and a few bales of Sunn ..t.19 per ton.
Tallow.—The market for Pettsburg yellow Candle is flat and lower ;
although 47s 6d was paid for sonic small lots early in the week
47s has since been accepted ; and for Odessa Tallow a reduction of
Is per cwt. has been submitted to ; about 30 pipes American Grease,
of line quality, sold at 3gs per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARca 13,

The warlike nature of the intelligence from the United States,
together with further reduced estimates of the crop, have had a
marked influence on the market ; the Trade and Speculators have
been free buyers, and prices of the inferior and fair qualities of
American are 4ct per lb higher, whilst for the better kinds littie or
improvement can be noticed. Surat are rather dearer, but Brazil
and Egyptian 'remain without change. Speculators have taken
7500 bags American and 3000 Surat, and Exporters 100 American
and 50 Surat.
