Amid the general festivity this little sequestered spot was

ple enjoyed a rural dance until the close of even, when the

ORMSKIRK

At Ormskirk the demonstrations were on a splendid scale.
The procession, it seems, was m►gnificent, many beautiful
devices on pictures having been exhibited. The procession
having paraded all the streets in the town, halted at the
Market-place, the various bodies forming separate columns,
with their bands in front. ,The.national anthem was then
sung in excellent style by the children of the united charity
schools, the bands and company joining chorus. Three
times three and one cheer inure were then given for the
Queen in a manner which made the welkin ring again, and
the company dissolved. Immediately after the termination
of this part of the proceedings, the children of the respective
charity schools were presented with a medal commemorative
of the day. and also regaled with a large fourpenny bun and
a cup of beer or spiced wine each. The poor in the work-
house were treated, after the good old English fashion, with
a solid dinner of roast beef, ale, and plum-pudding. About
one hundred and twenty gentlemen sat down to dinner, at
the Town-hall, at six o'clock. Various—feastings took place
in other parts of the town.

light, and the building illuminated as if appears on the eve
of Easter Monday, where the whole architecture is made out
with several thousand lights; in the scene will appear a pro-
cession of several hundred moving Figures. It is allowed by
all travellers that this edifice is the grandest and most noble
Temple in the World : it occupies more than eight times the
space of St. Paul's, London. The front is enriched by a
colonnade of 286 columns; in the centre is a splendid Egyp-
tian Obelisk of one entire stone of 90 feet high, and two rich
fountains, with several hundred statues in the front, nearly
all of which are seen in this View.

THE SPURS.

After this, the Dean took the spurs from the altar, and •
delivered them to the Lord Great Chamberlain, who, kneel
ing down, presented them to her Majesty, who returned,.
them to be laid upon the altar,
• THE SWORD. _ _ _

The Viscount Alelbourne, carrying the Sword of State, now
delivered it to the Lord Chamberlain, and in Jieu thereof, re=
ceived from him another Sword in a Scabbard of Purple Vel-
vet (presented to him by an officer of the Jewel Office, who
took charge of the Sword of State,) which his lordship deli-
vered to the. Archbishop, who laid it on the Altar, and said:
the Prayer, " Hear our prayers, 0 Lord, we beseech Thee,-
and so direct and support thy Servant, Queen' Victoria," S:c.
The Archbishop then took the Sword from off the• Altar,
and, assisted by the Archbishops of York and Armagh, with
the Bishops of London, Winchester, and other • Bishops, de-
livereci the Sword into the Queen's Right Hand, saying, "Re-
ceive this kingly Sword," &c.
OFFERING OF THE SWORD. •
The Queen, rising up, went to the Altar, when Bel;
jesty offered the Sword in the Scabbard, (delivering it to the
Archbishop, who placed it on the Altar,) and then returned
to and sat down in St. Edward's Chair: the Sword was then
redeemed for one hundred shillings by Viscount Melbourne,-
who received it from the Der'n, and carried it during the-re-
mainder of the Solemnity, having -first drawn it out of the
Scabbard, and delivered the latter to an Officer of the Ward-
robe.- The Archbishops •and Bishops, who had assisted du-
ring the Offering, returned to their places.

LITERARY TOTICES.

As we do not receive our copies of the leading peri-
odicals with the same degree of regularity as formerly,
we cannot better show our impartiality than by no-
ticing every work sent. to us for review exactly in the
order of its receipt—a rule which we shalt in future
adopt on account of ;ts convenience. We commence
with

Railroadiana. A new History of England, or Pic-
turesque, Biographical, Historical, Legendary,
and Antiquarian Sketches ; descriptive of the
Vicinity of Railroads. First Series. London
and Birmingham Railway. London : Simpkin,
Marshall, and Co. 1838.

This is a truly unique production. The idea in
which it has been originated is a very good one. The
series, when complete, will form a truly valuable ac-
quisition to the modern library. They will constitute
the very best description of guides to the traveller
along the several lines of railroads in the kingdom,
furnishing him with every variety of information
suited to his taste. The present number contains a
vivid description of the scenery, natural curiosities,
antiquities, architectural ornaments, and historical
associations of every place of importance approxima-
ting upon the line from London to Tring. The whole
is interspersed with numerous anecdotes and legendary
traditions. The accompanying map, vignette, and
wood-cut illustrations are extremely well executed,
and reflect the highest credit upon both artist and
publisher.

The Asiatic Journal, and Monthly Register for Bri-
tish India, China, and Australasia. July, 1838.
The summary of eastern news, which is furnished
in the present number, records a great variety of in-
teresting intelligence from our oriental colonies, to a
very recent date. " The Conqueror of the World" is
a spirited production. The account of the " Wars
between Burmah and China," and the analysis of
Col. Miles' " Shajrat ul Atrak," will be perused with
much interest by the historical reader. "The Claim-
ant of the Burdwan Raj" is a very important paper.
The observations on the appointment of local officers
in Nizam's service, will please the military reader.
" The Analyses of Eastern Works" promise to forui
very attractive series. The remarks on " The New
Zealand Bill" are characterised by sound sense and
candour. We cordially concur in the writer's opinions.
The miscellaneous contents of the present number are
as r varied and copious as usual.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 30.

The imports of Grain, Flow', and Oatmeal are, this week, very
light. During the same period the weather has been favourable for
the growing crops, and the trade generally has ruled dull, with a
tendency to lower prices. At yesterday's market both Wheat and
Oats might have been bought on better terms than on Tuesday,
though 9s 8,1 to 9s 10d per 701lis were still quoted for the best runs of
Irish red Wheat, and 3s 2d per 451 b for choice meshing Oats.—Flour
and Oatmeal have met only a retail demand :26s Gd to 27s per 2401bs
are top prices for the latter, 50s and s!s for good up to 55s per sack
for extra marks of Irish Flour.—The market has continued bare of
Barley, which has sustained late rates.—No change in the value of
either Beans or Peas.—ln.bonded Wheat no transactions have been
reported.—Two or three parcels of Baltic sweet Flour, under lock,
have been sold at 28s to 30s per barrel.

PLAGIARISM.

It is now discovered that the following Song, originally
adapted to a beautiful Irish Melody, furnished by Mr. Muore
with the.materialsof
"LET ERIN REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD."

LET Beauty remember the days of old,
When fair woman's hair betrayed her;
And the loveliest cast from her graceful mould,
Woite a wig that the barber made her;
Till Rowland sped, to anoint her head
With his balmy bright MAcassAtt;
And grew her such Hair, that never so fair •
An angel could surpass her.
On Thames' hank, as the Lady strays, • ,
When the clear, cold eve's declining,
She sees the long tresses of early days
•In the ivave beneath her shining:
Then will gratitude move her in .mood sublime,
To think of the changes that hovered ;
And rejoice that locks growing, grey wi hitme,
With MACAsSAtt shOuld so have recovered!

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Courier.)
MANCHESTER —The market remains in almost the same
state it was in last week, and there is nothing deserving of
particular notice. The amount of the business transacted is
very limited, and a disposition is shown, on the part of spin-
ners and manufacturers, to close for whatever part of their
stocks they can obtain a reasonable offer. This must eventu-
ally bring down prices, which are now evidently on the decline,
unless prevented by the usual improved demand for the Spring
trade.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

.THE IRISH ELECTION' PETITION FUND.
From the NtuTasile Journal..!

The fund for prosecuting the frisliife.ction Petitions
is not yet swelled to the full amount required ; though
it is still graddilly adtancing. We would remind the
friends to the Constitution and to teal "Justice to Ire.
land" within the wide range of our circulation, that their
liberality may still find a suitable object in subscribing
to this all-impotiant object: The Petitions got up by
the enemy in revenge-against some of the Irish, returns
have increased the exigency of the case. The returns
against which the Committee for the management of the
Fund have resolved to lend their aid, and which there is
every reason to believewill be successful, it having been
ascertained that the seats were fraudulently obtained by
the O'Connell candidates,
,are as follows :—Dublin (2),
Belfast (2), Carlow; Carlkw County (2), Longford Coun-
ty (2), Youghal, Sligo, Kinsale, Queen's County, West-
meath County (2), Waterford, Wicklow County (2),
Limerick County (2). This, then, as the Times says, is
the peril we hate to provide against—we hate' to shield
Conservatism when it seeks redress, fr,m guilt upheld
by numbers. If we do not raise ;4-9mile funds for such
a purpose, we are lost, and the kiti,ohim left at the mer-
cy of those whose aim is to destroy our Protestant [tt ti
tutions. Up, then, Consery nth es., and he stirring. We
want at your hands five or six thousand pounds more.
Vie want it without delay. The Monar,Thy not he said
to depend at this moment on the !MAY contribution of
that trifling sum inadildition to what has already been
furnished. The cause is at stake. Let, then, the signal
he sent through the country; subscribe at once and free-
ly, or the game will be lust. Up, and, for shame, be
stirring!

PLAGIARISM.

It is noW discovered 'that the following, 'Song, originally
adapted to a beautiful Irish Melody, furnished -by Mr. Moore
with the niaterialsof
"LET ERIN REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD.".

LET Beauty remember the days of Old, •
When fair woman's hair betrayed her:
And the loveliest cast from her graceful Mould,
Wore a' that the barber made her;_
Till Rowland sped, to anoint her head
With his balmy bright MAcassAtt ; •
And grew her such Hair, that never so fair
An angel could surpass her.
On Thames' hank, as the Lady stra'ys,
When the clear, cod eve's declining,
She sees the long tresses of early days
In the wave beneath her shining :
Then will gratitude move her in mood subliMe,
To think of the changes:that tOwered ;
Anil rejoice that locks growing grey wi h time,
With MACASSAR should so have recovered!

LIGHTS ON CAHNSHVON BAR.—A Memorial which has Oti-
gitlated in a recommendation from the Naval Officer now em-
ployed in the sui vev of this part of the coast, to place a Floating
Light near the Red Buoy, and a small fixed Light near the

CAUTION To MANGI,h-KEF.PERS.—A correspondent desires
us to put the public, and especially the mangling" • portion of
the community, on their guard against an ingenious system of
fraud which, he informs us, has been practised la some extent.
The plan 'is this : A person goes into the house of the keeper
of a mangle, and asks if her clothes are done? The mangle-
keeper inquires what clothes. and the other mentions at random
different aitirles of dress If there be Mine of that description,
the inquirerlsks if there is not aunt hermangle in the neighbour-
hood; and being directed to one; goes .out; but in the mean.
time, she has taken part it olar notice of the cloches ling about,
a description of Which-she gave a confederate who is waiting
outside. The latter goes in some time afterwards, asks for
particular articles, and gets them. Onr cdrresponnent mentions
several instances in Which the trick has been played succes-fully.
Saturday night, when the house is filled with clothes, and the
mangle keeper anxious to get rid of her work, is generally
Chosen the experiment. The mangle-keeper must, however,
be excessively green to deliver the clothes of their customers to
persons whom they do not know.—Mercury.

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN. B.—Though
it has been what is called the new market, yet there has been
no great quantity of business done to-day. The attendance of
buyers has been rather thin, and the prices given no better
than those of last week. Wool remains steady, but can be easi-
ly purchased at the last market's price.
HALIFAX (Saturday.)—Contrary to all expectation, there
was only a limited business doing to-day, and as a necessary
consequence no advance on previous rates could be made. On
the whole things were very flat. The spinners,- however, ob-
tained fully previous rates.
flunni:nsFitt.n (Tuesday).—There is a great sameness to
report as compared with two or three previous markets; that
is, as regards demand. Although the manufacturers have for
many weeks looked for an advance, still the state of the market
has never warranted it.
LEEDS (Tuesday).—We have to report rather a dull market
to-day, which clashes with the sanguine expectations of most in
the trade. There were, in fact, but very few buyers in the mar-
ket. Prices cannot be said to have varied ; still extensive buy-
ers, had any appeared, might have done business on rather
easier terms.

BRAnFoRD (Thursday).—ln our piece matket to-day opi-
nion varies as to the amount of business done ; but it is evident
that, had the manufacturers been dispsed to sell upon the old
terms, much larger transactions would have been the result;
still some advance was realised on most descriptions of goods,
but the advance has perhaps in no instant, realised one half
the amount of the advance on wools and yarns. Things on the
whole are decidedly better.
Tni, IRON TRADE.—We are happy to state (says the Mer-
th y r Guardial) that the iron trade is brisk, that the orders at
the last quoted prices are plentiful, and, unless there be too
great an anxiety on the part of the masters to advance the
price, are likely to continue so. We hope they will let "well
alone." We have heard of severaf furnaces put recently into
blast.

THE Fun IN Loa DON.—At an early hour on Friday morning
a heavy fog came on, which continued unabated nearly through
the day. The fog pervaded with equal denseness every part of
the metropolis, and candles and gas-lights were every where in
requisition just as if it were the dusk of evening. About four
o'clock the hackney coaches left the stands. and many of the
cabs and omnibuses ceased running; but stone drivers walked
their horses, having torches carried before them. The Grave-
send, Grecno ich, and Woolwich gteamers ceased to inn during
the %%hole day, and several vessels uu their way to London
brimOti tip at Gravesend. A number it' steam-ships flow the

Itooart between forty and fifty years of age. of the firm of
kington and Randall, brist!e merchants, I esuling in Southwark,
engaged a waterman to put him MI board a vessel in the pool,
but from the denseness of the fug the boat tan on a shift's cable,
was overset, and Mr. Pilkington drowned. •

BEFORE HERAT,

Her Majesty's steam-packet Blazer arrived at Malta on
the 14th of October, at night, bringing news from Bombay
to the !2t& of September. Reports had reached India of
the defeat of the Persian forces before Herat, in which it
appeared some Russians had assisted, the death of a Russian
general officer being mentioned. Although no official ac-
counts had reached Calcutta, it seems that the plans and
intrigues of Russia were placed beyond doubt, and must
have been very extensive, since we-learn that the papers
which have fallen into the hands of the government establish-
that she was dabbling with all the powers and princes to the
northward, and it was believed that. Russian emissaries had
been sent to the Burmese by another route. The Rajah of
Sattarab was quite under the influence of Russia.
The most active warlike preparations were visible in all the
presidencies. Troops from Bengal to the amount of 25,000
men, and 5,000 from Bombay, were to march towards Cabool,
and the Nepaulese were to be watched by a force from Ma-
dras. The Indian government, in fact, had shown a deter-
mination to exhibit activity and energy, in order to overawe,

if possible, the northern provinces; but the greatest uneasi-
ness was manifest, and the natives did not hesitate to declare
their satisfaction at the prospect of the arrival of the Russians,
and the probability of their having ilea' masters.
