ADMIRALTY, 10th August, 1838.
Sir,—With reference to your letter of the 31st of last
month, and 3d instant, I am commanded by the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, that the French
Government having forwarded orders to the commander of
the blockading squadron to allow the shipment of specie from
Mexico on account of foreign merchants, as well as on ac-
count of their respective governments: her Majesty's packets
have received orders to ship treasure for private individuals at
Vera Cruz and Tampico.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) C. WOOD.
To William Watson, Esq., Chairman of the Mexican and
South American Association, Liverpool.

CoNvwnsTioN.—The new church at .Colwyn, in the pa-
rish of Llandrillo yn Rhos. was consecrated on Tuesday, the
7th instant, by the Lord Bishop of St. Asanh, who, accom-
panied by his chaplain, (the Rev. Mr Roberts, of Llanrwst,)
arrived in Minydon, the seat of Richard 13. Clough, Esq.,
about eleven o'clock, and proceeded immediately to the
church, which was crlowded upon the occasion, notwithstand-
ing the unfavourable state of the .weather. The neighbour-
ihg clergy, about fourteen in number, attended the Lord
Bishop to the Church, where the service of the day was read
in a very impressive manner by the Rev. C. B. Clough, vicar
of Mold, and an excellent discourse by the Rev. 'l'. Parry,
vicar of the parish, front the 19th chap. of Leviticus and the
30th verse, "Reverence my sabbaths"—in which he took oc-
casion to congratulate the original promoter of this good
work, (It B. Clou:41), Esq.,) atpl also J. LI. Wynne, Esq.,
and the Rev. Mr. Boulger, who gave the land on which the
edifice is built, and the other contributors, on the completion
of a work of such vast importance to the parishioners in and
about the hamlet of Colwyn, the distance from which to the
parish church exceeds three miles, thus debarring the aged
and infirm from ever joining in the public service of the
church, and receiving that food so desirable and comfortable
to them in their declining years. After service and the cere-
mony of consecration, the Lord Bishop partook of a cold
collation provided for hint at Minydon, and returned to St.
Asaph, at four o'clock all the clergy partook of an excellent
dinner by special invitation of Mr. Clough, and at half.past
six proceeded to the church, where the evening prayers were
read by the Rev. Mr. Pughe, the newly-appointed minister
to the church, and a most eloquent and appropriate sermon
was preached by the Rev. R. Davies, minister of St. Da-
vid's Church, Liverpool, in the Welsh Language, to a most
crowded congregation, with his accustomed ability. The
collection amounted to £l3 2s. 91(1.

FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1838.

():7' The Pubt.icatrou of the STANDARD comtnenced this
morning al 5 o'clock.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF THE KINGDOM.—The
subject of the foreign policy of our present ministry
was prominently introduced to the notice of the House
of Lords on Tuesday evening, by Lord Lyndhurst, on
the presentation of a petition signed by nearly 600 of
the wealthy and intelligent bankers, merchants, and
manufacturers of the city of Glasgow. The speech
of Lord Lyndhurst on this occasion was characterised,
in an eminent degree,-by that calm and dispassionate
eloquence for which his lordship is sor.celebrated ; and
it is scarcely necessary to add that it told with tremen-
dous effect against Lord Melbourne and his imbecile
and pusillanimous associates. The picture which he
drew of our foriqgn relations was of the most appal-
ling description; and what gave the greatest weight
to his representation was, evidently, the appeal to sta-
tistical data in support of the assertion that our fo-
reign commerce is i❑ a state of declension. This was
proved most satisfactorily. The noble and learned
lord proceeded to trace the causes of this declension,
which he just y attributed to the infraction of treaties,
on the part of foreign powers, and to other acts
against which her Majesty's government ought to
have provided." In the emphatic language of the pe-
tition, " it is only by the sacrifice of our power, and
the abandonment of our rights, that the commercial
relations of Great Britain have been thus crippled and
endangered."

In support of the-very strong but justifiable lan .;tiage
of the petition, Lord Lyndhurst adduced set r rai docu-
ments of an official nature which fully bore out the
statements of the petitioners. It appears by a return,
which has been recently laid before the House of Com-
mons, that the total amount of exports for the year
1836 was £91,000,000., whilst, in the last year the total
amount was only £85,270,000., making a difference of
nearly £6,000,000. The total official value of manu-
factures exported from Great Britain to foreign ports
in 1837 was £77,932,617., and in the last, year
£72,312,207., making a decrease of £5,620,410. In
1837 our cotton exports amounted to £50,249,212., and
in 1833, last year, they were only £41,403,110., mak-
ing a decrease on the export of cottons of £8,746,792.
In another staple manufacture, that of woollens, tl►e ex-
ports in 1837 amounted to £7,535,064. ; while last year
the exports only amounted to £4,680,247., making a
decrease of £2,854,817. In linen manufactures there
was a decrease of £1,000,000. on the exports of last
year as compared with 1837. On the exports of silk
the decrease was £335,853., and on hardware and cut-
lery £415,349.
How is this state of things to be accounted for ? Can
we fix upon the present ministry the charge of neglect-
ing the commercial interests of Great Britain, and thus
causing the melancholy result indicated be the state-
ments which we have just made ? Is Lord Palmerston
answerable for the rapid declension of our foreign trade?
Are his associates guilty of conniving at tl►e ruin of
British merchants and manufacturers ? Lord Lynd-
hurst maintains that they are guilty, and we believe
he has successfully proved the truth of this very seri-
ous charge. He showed that had our foreign secretary
possessed " a little diplomatic skill, and alittle activity,"
the Germanic league, which has so strongly militated
against our commercial interests, might have been de
feated. In like manner, for want of "a little diplo-
matic skill, and a little activity," the Russians have
been suffered to close the whole of Poland against our
staple manufactures, by the imposition of an almost
prohibitory tariff, and that in direct contravention of
the treaty of Vienna. The transit trade through Po-
land has also suffered in consequence of the infringe-
ment of the same treaty. In Cracow again we have
suffered through the invasion of our rights, guaranted
by the treaty of Vienna, on the part of an armed force,
that had completely remodelled its trade. This coun-
try, in respect of Cracow, is reduced to the humiliating
position of being refused the privilege of having a con-
sular agent to exercise the necessary vigilance over our
commercial interests. In this case, as in many others,
we have insult superadded to injury, and both tamely
submitted to by the "little men" now in office. Another
Instance adduced by Lotd Lyndhurst was an infraction
of a treaty on the part of the French government. By
this treaty the merchants of Great Britain were enti-
tled to carry on a trade in gum on the banks of the
Senegal. Two of our vessels, laden with gum, have
'been seized and confiscated by the French on the most
unfounded pretences: and, although two years have
elapsed since this took place, the demand for redress
has been hitherto unattended to. The consequence of
this denial of justice has been, that we have been com-
pletely driven from this branch of trade. In reference
to the trade of Great Britain with Java, Lord Lynd-
hurst remarked that under a treaty with Holland cer-
tain duties were to be imposed upon British goods im-
ported in British bottoms. "The duties were to be
double the duties imposed on goods imported from
'Holland in Dutch vessels; and in case the vessels from
Holland imported goods from Holland not paying any
duty, we were to pay 6 per cent. on similar goods im-
ported into Java from this country. What had taken
place in Java? The treaty had been disregarded. Du-
ties to an extravagant amount had been extorted from
British merchants. Nearly £40,000. a•year had been
forced out of their pockets. This system had been going
on for years, and was still in action. There was now
£400,000. due to British merchants for duties which
had been extorted from them in violation of the treaty.
Had any attempts, he would ask, been made to prevent
the continuance of those extortions ? Efforts might
have been made,- but nothing effectual had been done
to stop the Dutch government in its course of violation
of this treaty. Such was the respect paid to our go-
vernment on the continent of Europe ! Such was the
respect paid by foreign governments to treaties in
which we were concerned with them!"
The noble lord next adverted to our commercial re-
lations with Algiers. Formerly this trade produced a
very considerable revenue. Tt was then only liable to
a duty of five per cent.; but since the occupation of

A giers by the French a great part of our trade has

been placed under actual prohibition, whilst the re
mainder has been placed under the high tariff im.
posed by France, which has almost annihilated it
Here again the whig imbeciles have suffered our corn.
coerce to be injured with impunity.

Again, for several years we had been carrying on a
very profitable trade with the natives of the eastern
coast of the Black Sea, which had given rise to a
transit traffic of the highest importance. Here we
have been unceremoniously deprived of our commer-
cial intercourse through the intervention of Russia,
which power has actually had the audacity to seize
upon a British vessel whilst pursuing a legitimate
trade. The merchants of Great Britain will not be
slow in attributing the contumely, with which we have
been treated by Russia, to the cowardly and truckling
policy of Lord Durham, who unites in his character
the two apparently adverse qualities of proud and wil-
ful despotism with the most grovelling servility.
The reply of Lord Melbourne to the very able
speech of Lord Lyndhurst was, like the other recent
oratorical of l,rts of the superannuated beau, as desti-
tute of argument as it was feeble in purpose. He
seemed ovet•powered with the load of obloquy which
the distinguished leader of the opposition had heaped
upon him and his miserable colleagues in office.
On the subject of the commercial enterprise of
Great' Britain, and the means suggested by Lord
Brougham for encouraging its development, we find
the following very judicious remarks in the London
Standard:—

" Providence has assigned to Great Britain the empire o
the sea; and, with that empire, the duty of colonising or
civilising the world. Nothing but a greedy desire of sup-
planting others in commerce already established—a feeling
that constitutes the principle of the economists' school—or an
insane abandonment of our naval ascendancy can prevent
this country creating, in a very few years, a commerce with
her own colonies and dependencies, and with remote nations,
tenfold greater than the commerce of all Europe. 'We must
first, however, get rid of Joseph flume's clan and their per-
nicious doctrines. They wLio will never give away a shilling,
except when they cannot help it, are sure never to lay out a
shilling to auy profitable account ; and this has been pretty
much the case in our national policy. We can provide mil-
lions by the score or hundred to carry on a war, or to crush
an insurrection; but for any profitable purpose—for any
outlay that promises a return, we never have nioney to spare,
and this though the whole world is open to our adventure,
though our population is said to be redundant, and though
our capital is proved to be so by the fact that consuls are- at
91 or 95 per cent.; i❑ other words, that the use of money is
worth little more than £3 per annum for the £lOO. We.
could wish men to turn their attention to this view of our
commercial prospects, and we rejoice to think that the Duke
of Wellington has done so. Lord Brougham's anticipation
of the ascendancy of Great Britain, as the head of a liberal
propagandist alliance, is, like most of the noble and learned
lord's ideas, a little visionary. After all, the cause of repre-
sentative government is not of so touch influence with the
majority of mankind, even while the humour lasts, as the
sense of religion ; and the humour iu favour of any plan of
government is exceedingly fugacious, as the instability of
all veryfipopular governments has proved. Besides, there is
no security for the permanence of the propagandist vocaiion—
indeed there is almost a certainty that it must be of short du-
ration. If it succeed, it perishes in its success; it' it fail, it
sinks in despair before enemies who, from the naturß of the
contest, must be implacable. We think there is good hope
that Great Britain will assume in the world a place cor-
responding with that which she held i❑ Europe 260 years ago,
but not through the agency which Lord 13rougham surmises.
We trust that the agency of that elevation will be the same
in the reign of Queen Victoria that it was in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth—the agency of religion, and that Great
Britain will present, as she ought to do and may do, the
spring of gospel truth, and the fortress of gospel churches
throughout the earth."

In the course of this debate Lord Minto made some
rambling observations on the adequacy of our naval
establishment, which were as amusing for their sim-
plicity as for the gross ignorance which they displayed
of the very subject on which, of all others, he ought
to be best informed. This admiralty functionary con-
fessed that he "could not recollect exactly the num-
ber of ships in commission, because the number va-
ried, but he believed there were from seventeen to
eighteen sail of the line now in commission, and of
these a very considerable proportion might, if it were
desirable to do so, be sent to any part of the world,
Besides, our arrangements were such that we could
send at a very short notice a large fleet to sea." He
then proceeded to say that Great Britain had squa-
drons stationed in several places, where they were al-
wars found sufficient for the protection of our com-
mercial interests, and protested that be had never

heard complaints from those places of the insufficiency
of our naval force. This we can readily believe ; for
when has tl►e British navy been found inefficient?

What we have reason to complain of is, that we have
no squadrons in those places where they are most
needed for the protection of our commerce—in the
Black Sea, for instance, where the British flag has
been insulted with impunity.

O'CONNELL IN IRELAND.—The modern Bampfylde
Moore Carew, or " King of the Beggars," has again
made his appearance in Dublin, the ordinary scene of
his incendiary agitation, and has already convened a
public meeting of " his constituents," to consider of
certain "ulterior measures," to be adopted in order to
procure full "Justice to Ireland." Thus it is ever with
this revolutionary firebrand—" ulterior measures" al-
ways form the order of the day with him. Whatever
course of legislation may be adopted in reference to
Ireland—whatever alleged grievances may be removed
—whatever concessions may be made to the demands
of the priests and the Popish rabble—fresh causes of
agitation are hourly discovered, and some grand " ul-
terior measure" is propounded as a panacea for all" the
ills of Ireland." So it will ever be, as we have uni-
formly contended, until the property of Irish Protes-
tants is confiscated—until all true loyalists are banished
from the country—until the influence of the British
crown over the destinies of Ireland is annihilated—and
until the ferocious priesthood reduce the country into
a state of vassalage to the " Holy See of Rome." These
are the great ends which they are labouring so sedu-
lously to accomplish—these are time " ulterior plans"
which the Jesuit O'Connell contemplates with so much
satisfaction. We feel confident that the repeal of the
Union will form the staple of agitation for the next sea-
son. But will it succeed ? We think not. There is
a spirit recently aroused among the Protestants of Ire-
land which will yet make O'Connell and his myrmid-
ons tremble, and, perhaps, bring the traitors to the
gallows. Let these truculent demagogues but once
lift the standard of insurrection—let "the millions be
told what-to do," and let them but attempt to act upon
the advice which instigates them to rebellion—let this
take place, and we shall soon find that, in spite of the
exaggerated physical resources of the anti-British fac
lion, the Protestants of Ireland, supported, encouraged,
and assisted by the Protestant people of England, and
' protected by that Providence whose aid they may justly
invoke, IA ill yet rise superior to their blood-thirsty ene-
mies, and eventually rescue Ireland from the accursed
thraldom of Popery. We have no fears for the event
of the struggle which O'Connell is likely to provoke.

.ADVERTISEMENT DUTY.—A return has just been
published showing the amount of advertisement duty
charged to each of the provincial journals in England
and Wales, from the 30th of June, 1837, to the 30th
of June, 1838. The following is a list of all the jour-
nals paying more tha❑ £5OO. per annum each :

Manchester Guardian
Liverpool Mercury
Gore's (Li verpl.) Advertiser 965 8 0
Aris's Birmingham Gazette 943 4 0
Leeds Mercury
Stamford & Lincoln Mercury 804 9 0
Myers's (Liverpl.) Advertiser 710 5 0
Birmingham Herald
Manchester Courier 664 4 0
Newcastle Courant
LIVERPOOL STANDARD 564 1 6
Liverpool Albion
Liverpool Mai1..
Leeds Intelligencer
Liverpool Chronicle 5lB 17 0

From this list it appears that, out of fifteen papers
contributing more than £5OO. in advertisement duty,
no less than seven are published in Liverpool—a strik-
ing proof of the commercial activity of the "good old
town." We feel grateful for that measure of support
with which the Liverpool Standard has been favoured
in the advertising department, which has placed it
Fourth. in the list of the Liverpool papers, and eleventh
in rank among all the provincial journals of the United
Kingdom. This is a position of which we have every
reason to be proud, especially when we consider the
disparity in age between the Liverpool Standard and
its more successful competitors, to say nothing of the
many older journals which it has left far behind.
It is a curious fact that the whole amount paid by
the' Liverpool papers is £5,673. 16s. 6d.; whilst in
Manchester it is only £3,543.

On Wednesday, the Bth instant, was launched from the
building-yard of Messrs. Falcon and Alexander, of Working-
ton, a beautiful new barque, for Thomas Lee, Esq., of this
town, intended for the Barbadoes trade.

TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

The quarterly meeting of the council was held on Wed.
nesday.

CLAIM FOR COMPENSATION.
The MAYOR reported that the claim of Mr. John Oakes
Bridge, late auditor of the accounts of the receiver of the
town dues, for the compensation for the determination of his
office, which he held at a salary of £lOO per annum, had
been before her majesty's lords of the treasury, and that, on
taking into consideration the claim of Mr. Bridge for
£697 !9s. 4d. as a sum in gross, or an annual sum of
£66 10s. 4d. ror his life, being two-thirds of the salary of
£lOO, their lordships had awarded that Mr. Bridge "is en-
titled to a gratuity of £80."

GAOL COMMITTEE. •
The MAYOR desired the town-clerk to read his report on
behalf of the Gaol Committee.

The TOWN-CLERK accordingly read the report, which was
somewhat to the following- effect :—That some alterations
and additions, authorised by the council, are being proceeded
with. That the committee bad found it necessary to sanction,
on a report and estimate by their surveyor, the building of a
tank to contain rain water for the supply of the washhouse in
the prison, &c. &c. Some communication was also contain ed
in it respecting the heating of cells, the appointment of a
blacksmith, and lastly, the resignation of Mr. Forshaw, the
surgeon.

The MAYOR suggested that the course of proceeding
adopted on the appointment of governor of the Borough Gaol
should be followed on the present occasion in filling up the
vacancy of surgeon to that gaol.
The TOWN-CLERK read the proceedings on that occasion.
It appeared that the council had referred back to the Gaol
Committee the report announcing the vacancy in the situa-
tion of governor, requesting them to advertise fur candioates,
and recommended the most suitable for the election, and ap-
proval of the council.

Mr. GEORGE ROBINSON moved, and Mr. HENRY LAW-
RENCE seconded, that the same course be adopted on the
present occasion.
The TOWN-CLERIC thought the most convenient way would
be for the Gaol Committee to report to the next meeting of
the council their opinion as to the salary of the surgeon, and
then they might advertise for candidates.
Mr. G. H LAWRENCE thought that a very long discussion
had taken place on a former occasion with reference to the
salary, and that it had been then fixed.
BENN said it had been fixed at £lOO.
Mr. ItawnoN thought that sum insufficient for the increased
duties of the office.

After some further discussion the report was referred back
to the Gaol Committee to fix the salary, which is to be sub-
mitted to the council for approval next Wednesday week,
prior to the issuing of any advertisement for candidates.
Mr. G. 11. LAwitExcE wished to know whether any appli-
cation had been made to government to induce them to send
convicts direct from this port. He understood that they wee
actually going to withdraw the vessels front the Irish station.

It was t great hardship to the town.
The MAYOR said that the subject bad not teen lost sight of.
Applications had been made, and were being Made, but
hitherto without success.

Mr. EARLS said the Thing was abominable.

A OMISSION OF FREEMEN.

The MAYOR, in calling the attention of the council to the
petition from persons entitled to the freedom of the borough,
praying that as the legislature had deemed it proper to abo-
lish the stamp duty upon their admission, that the town-
council will follow the example with respect to the fees, said
it appeared that he had inadvertently made a mistake in
stating the number of the signatures to the petition. Mr.
Peachey, the secretary of the Freemen's Society, had in-
formed him of the fact, and had requested him to add a num-
ber of sheets to the petition. To this lie assented, and had
since received the following letter from Mr. Peachey
:
"Strickland-street, Eventon, August 14th, 1838.
"Slit, —ln reply to yours of the 2d instant, in the name of
the petitioners, I beg to thank you fur presenting their me-
i mortal, and also for your kindness in allowing the accompa-
Dying sheets to be added to those presented. At the same
time, I have to beg your worship's pardon, that my negli-
gence should have caused • you, unintentionally, to have
understated the number of signatures, and as you have been
so kind to express your intention of correcting that to-mor-
row, I beg to state that, in all, there are 1320 signatures.
Aud 1 further l.eg to hope your worship will support the mo-
tion of Mr. John Smith, as I am instructed to say such a
settlement will give the petitioners satisfaction, as it appears
that similar arrangements have been made in other places,
viz., Bristol, Stafford, Chester, &c.
" I have the honour to be, your worship's obliged servant,
" N. Rathbone, Esq., "W. J. PEACHEY.
Before entering • into this matter, he would request the
town-clerk to read to the council the opinion which he had
taken from eminent counsel on the subject, and it remained
with them, after hearing it, to say how far they could grant
the request or the petitioners.
Mr. WA t.mst.Ey said he had a petition to present, agreed
upon at a meeting of the Tradesmen's Reform Association,
in the prayer of which he entirely concurred. Previous to
the meeting, when the petition was agreed to on which Mr.
Smith had founded his notice, he (Mr. Wahnsley) had placed
a tnotion on the books to bring this subject before the coun-
cil, but he withdrew it, believing it would come with inure
weight as brought forward by Mr. Smith. lie felt that he
had no right to take precedence of Mr. Smith, and therefore
he should reserve what he had to say until Mr. Smith had
brought his notice forward, and then he hoped he should be
able to satisfy the council that they ought not only to reduce
the amount of the admission fee, but to make the admission
a free admission altogether. lie begged leave to present
his petition.

The MAYOR read the petition, which was as follows :
`` To the Worshipful the Mayor • and Members of the Town
Council of the Borough of Liverpool in Council assemyed.
"THE MEMORIAL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE OF

THE TRADESMEN'S REFORM ASSOCIATION.

" Respectfully sheweth,
" That your memorialists have observed, through the
medium of the public prints, that the freemen qualified by the
reform act, are now petitioning for the removal of the fee
charged by the Town-council upon their admission.
" That yi,ur memorialists believe the claim of the freemen
to be founded on equity and justice from the following rea•
sons:—

" lst.—Because the legislature having confirmed and per-
petuated the elective franchise residing in qualified freemen,
and having also repealed the stamp duty on their admission,
have virtually recognized the p4,inciple, that pecuniary re-
strictions on the acquirement an 4 exercise of the elective
franchise are injurious in their operation, and ought nut to
exist.

" 2d.—Because, from the circumstance that the freemen
applying to be enrolled belong almost exclusively to the
operative classes of the community, the amount of the fees,
while it operates as a barrier to the possession of the Fran.
chise, acts as an inducement to wealthy persons entertaining
strong political opinions, to advance the money for the pur-

pose of party objects.
" 34.—Because Your memorialists believe that moral
causes are in active operation, through the means of ex-
tended education and intelligence, which have a tendency to
produce a beneficial change among that class of voters to
whom this memorial more particularly refers.
" For these reasons your memorialists respectfully pray
that the fee now taken upon the admission 01 freemen be en-
tirely abolished. And your memorialists will ever pray.
" Signed on behalf of the Committee,
"JOSHUA WALMSLEY,Chairman."

The MAYOR then said, perhaps it would be the better
course if the. Town-clerk were then to read the case which
he had drawn, and the opinions which he had taken on the
question.
The TowN-ct.EnK rose accordingly, and said the case was
as follows:1 _ _

_ .
" Are the council of the borough of Liverpool justified, in
law, in giving up £1 fees on the admission to freedom, ac-
cording to ancient custom paid to their officers, (see extracts
herewith,) and now the property of the borough fund, under
sect. 2 of the municipal corporations act, and agreements
whereby the borough fund takes the fees of the officers in
question, and pays them by salaries? And what would be
the effect of the relinquishmeut and nonpayment on the

validity of the admission's to the freedom ?".
The extracts referred to were taken from the inquiry by
the municipal commissioners into the corporation of Liver-
pool, and were as follows:-
6' SWORD BECARLR.

"The TOWN-CLERK.---He had also a small portion cf the
freemen's admission fee, which has since been given up.
" Mr. Hocc.—Did he give up that without compen-
sation? _

The TOWN-CLEHK.—Yes; and be has no other fee or
perquisite whatever.
"Mr. hear that portion of the freemen's fee was
2s. I thought it had been stated at 6d.”

K Mr. RAncLIFFE.—WiII the commissioners have the good-
ness to ask who got the benefit of that concession?"
"The Tow N-CLERK. —lt devolved upon the town-clerk."

FREEDOM.

The fine upon adinissionb7;;;:itude is 6s Bd, and upon ad-
mission by birthright is 3s 4d. These, however, are mere
nominal entries in the books, without ever being demanded
or paid, unless it may be considered as part of the fee of £2
paid on each admission, of which £1 is required for stamp
duty, and the other LI goes to the town-clerk and other
officers. After the party is ordered by the couticil to be ad-
mitted he is sworn before the mayor and one of the bailiffs as
follows:

[Here follows the oath.]
FEES ON THE ADMISSION OF FREEMEN.
" Mr. WILKINSON.—What fees do the freemen pay ?"
"The 'FowN-CLEI:K.—Those who acquire their freedom by
birth or servitude pay the same, namely £2; of which £1 is
for the stamp; of the other El, 2s go to the sergeant-at-mace,
Is to the water-bailiff, and the remainder to myself as town-
clerk, as a remuneration for the trouble of examining docu-
ments, and inspecting claims prior to the admission of free-
men, and for subsequent insertion in the call-book. Upon
admission by gift, the stamp duty is £3 and the admission
fee the same, which expenses are paid out of the corporate
funds, without any charge to the parties."
"Mr. WlLKltisoN.—Are there any fees upon admission
to office ?"

"The TOWN.CLERK.—None whatever."
FINES ON ADMISSION OF FREEMEN.

The TowN-cLiirtx.-1 have made inquiries respecting the
fin.:s paid on the admission of freemen, to which allusion
was made yesterday, and I find that between 1746 and 1747,
the amount paid was £322 18s 4d; twenty-niiae persons hav-
ing received the freedom by nurchase, and forty-eight by
birthright and servitude. In the case of birthright, the fees
amount to 3s 4d, and in those of servitude to 6s Bd. Front
1747 to 1758. there appear to have been no fines, and in
1758 only £l5 15s were received. With those extracts, copies
of the late act of parliament for the abolition of the stamp
duty on the admission of freemen, and the late municipal
act, were sent, and the opinion of counsel was as follows.
He should, however, state that that was the opinion of Mr.
Starkie, Q C., Mr. Wightman, and Mr. Crompton, the as-
sessor f the orough."

"OPINION:
" We are of opinion, that the council of the borough will
not be justified in giving up the fees of £1 which have been
customarily paid upon the admission of freemen, &c. and
which have now become applicable to the borough fund. The
town-council have the management of the borough fund as
trustees for the borough, and it would be a breach of their
duty to relinquish or dispose of any portion of the funds en-
trusted to their care for the general benefit of the borough. If,
however, the town-council should give up those fees, we are
inclined to think they would be liable to au information in
equity against them, as trustees for public purposes,
at the
suit of the attorney-general. We think that the omission to
pay the fees would not invalidate the admission to freedom;
but that, under the proviso in sect. 2 of the municipal corpora-
tion act, the persons so admitted would not be entitled to ex-
emption from tolls, &c., until they had paid such fees.

The MAYOR said with that opinion before them, it would be
in the discretion of the council and of the mover (Mr. Smith)
whether they should bring on a discussion.
Mr. SMITH asked if the fees had not been reduced ifiLther
places, or abolished.
The MAYOR reminded Mr. Smith of the opinion as to the
consequences of such a course, which was equally applicable
to a reduction as to an abolition.

Several members of the council said, if other councils bad
done wrong; that could form no precedent for them.
Mr. SMITH thought there could be no harm in bringing the
discussion forward.

It Was, however, intimated that it would not be desirable,
as it could lead to no practicable end.
At the request of several members of the council, the opinion
was again read.
The TOWN-CLERK said, that the difference of a reduction
of the whole pound, or merely 17s 6LI of it, was of no conse-
quence; by either it would appear they would do a wrong at
law.

Mr.. SMITH thought he could shape his motion, that the
Town-clerk be requested to introduce a clause in some future
bill to accomplish their object.
Mr. CURRIE thought they were irregular.
The MAYOI: said that was a new case altogether.
Mr. SMITH would not be irregular ; but he could give such
a notice for a future council.
Mr. H. Hot.sitis would have voted for the abolition if they
could legally_ have taken such a step; and
Mr. LAWRENCE said, the Town-clerk had made a judicious
selectionof counsel whose opinion he hail taken,a.nd he thought
they were bound to abide by it.
The motion of Mr. Smith was then withdrawn, and it was
understood he afterwards gave the following notice for a mo-
tion at the next council meeting:—
" That on the next application to parliament for a local
act, the Town-clerk be instructed to insert in the bill a clause
to empower the council to reduce or entirely abolish the tees
at present chargeable on the admission and enrolment of
persons eulatled NI the freedom of the borough."

CRUSADE, AGAINST COCKS AND 41ENS.
Mr. H. LAWRENCE felt sorry that the most important mo-
tion on the list should have been passed over without discus-
sion, as it would have afforded them some amusement, and
relieved the discussion of the dry details that they generally
had before them.—(Great laughter.)
➢lr. SMITH hoped Mr. Lawrence would not crow over a
fallen foe.--(Laughter.)
The MAYOR observed, that the member who had given the
notice alluded to, had withdrawn it, and his facetious friend
might add, that it was laughed out of court. (Laughter.)
The above short conversation we understood to refer to a
notice put on the books by Mr. Jordan, to prevent cocks and
hens perambulating the streets.

ENROLMENT OP INDENTURES.
The prayer of a petition from Alexander Wells, for the en-
rolment of his indentures, though the prescribed period had
elapsed, was acceded to, after some discussion, and the coun-
cil rose after about an hour's sitting.

We understand that St. Andrew's church, which has been
closed for sonic weeks for the purpose of being cleaned and
painted, will be reopened for Divine service on Sunday next.
THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Another grand fete is to
take place at these Gardens on Monday next. The enter-
tainments of the last Gala are to be repeated, Mr. D'Ernst's
fire-works are alone worth the trouble of a visit.
A handsome new coppered barque of 337 tons measurement,
was ou Saturday last launched from the building yard of
Messrs. K. Wood and Sons, Marvport, called the John Hor-
ton, built for Thomas Chapman, Esq., of this town, and in-
tended for the South American trade.

CHESTER QUERN'S SCHOOL—On Wednesday last, the Rev•
the Dean and Chapter of our cathedral, elected the Rev. R
W. Gleadowe, M.A. (second master of Stamford Grammar
School,) head master of Queen's School, in this city, on the
resignation of the Rev. W. Paull, M.A., and also to themiuor
canonry, vacant by the death of the Rev. F. Casson, M.A.—
Chester Gazette.

CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—Mr. Thomas Williams, of
Glanrafon, Llantairtalhaiarn;' Denbighshire, while flyfishirg
on the 11th instant, caught a young partridge, 5 ounces in
weight; the hook just penetrated beneath toe wing of the
bird.

MARSHAL Sout.T.—A portrait of this veteran is now ex-
hibiting iu Bold-street, at Goadsby's rerentory. It is exe-
cuted in chalk, iu a masterly and free style. The artist is
Mons. Cle►nent Boulanger, who has been staying in London
to paint a picture, fur the King of the French, of the late
coronation.

STRAUSS' BAND.—It is with extreme pleasure that we
have to announce that this fine hand will again perform iu
Liverpool, previous to Mr. Strauss' departure for the conti-
nent, where he has engagements to appear before the King
of the French, the Emperor and Empress of Austria, and the
Emperor of Russia. By referring to the advertisement, it
will be seen, that on 'Monday and Wednesday evenings

next the concerts are to take place.
TAKE WANNING.—" Half the 'accidents and offences'
that enliven the columns of our newspapers originate in the
disregard of this precept. People take snuff, colds, wine,
steps, tea, wives, offence, hints, fright, and medical ad-
vice; but they cannot—they will not—take warning !—and
per consequence, they incontinently get banged, drunk,

TiivsTßE RoYst--The assizes have absorbed so much
of our time, that we have not been able to pay our customary
attention to the Theatre. During the week, the attractions
have been rather numerous; Mr. Dowtot, Mr. Vandenhoff,
Miss Vandenhoff, and Mr. F. Vining, have been playing.
We have heard much of Miss Vandenhoff,. and hope shortly
to see her. This eyening the comedy of the." Hunchback''
is announced fur the benefit of Mr. Vandenboff.
MR. STUART.—It may not be generally known that Mr.
Stuart has had the misfortune to break his arm just above
the wrist. The accident occurred while embarking on board
the Rock Ferry boat a short time since. He is obliged to
wear the wrist in a sling, and it is expected that he will not
recover the nse of it for some time. He appeared last even-
ing, for the first tame since the occurrence, as the Ghost in
Hamlet, which he played with his accustomed ability.
The Sun, which lately printed an account of the corona.
tion in gold, and with it a medallion profile of the Queen,
has again illumined its sheet with two medallion profiles
—the Dukes of Wellington and Dalmatia. The likenesses
of these warriors, who have been for "full fifty years,
harnessed in rugged steel," are excellent and done in a style
which render them worthy of a place in the portfolio or to
adorn the study.

Paosiot.i's Blzss R.—One of the lions, if not the greatest
lionof Liverpool is Promotes bazaar. We very touch question
if another such establishment exists either in this or in anv
other country, as to extent, costliness of stock. or the
of articles of which it consists. Ail that is elegant, rich, and
useful, from every quarter of the globe, is here to be purchased.
China, Japan, and India contribute their rich and unique
wares, while the European contioent seems to have been
ransacked for the purpose of associating together its.beautifut
manufactures. The whole bazaar is laid out with a taste and
skill that does Mr. Promoli infinite credit.

A LEGAL AND LITERARY Titio.—On Monday afternoon
last, in the Nisi Prius Court, at the South Lancashire Assizes
at Liverpool, a trio of gentlemen of the long lobe, whose names
have obtained celebrity in various ways, were for some time
conversing together. Mr. Murphy (not of the " weather
almanac,") the author of the papers by " Father Prout,"
__the
Frazer's Magazine, and of other literary productions of merit;
Mr. Warren, the graphic delineator of some of the most fear-
ful°n
workings of physical suffering, and meanntaallaasgt
and:. leas
rage of the passions, and the blightof disease,—in his "
Pas-
sages from the Diary of a late Physician ;"
in stature at any rate, whatever may b thought of him
in
other respects, was Mr. Roebuck, the ex-member for Bat
who is a small, low man, of sallow complexion, and certainly,
somewhat flattered in the " Portraits of living Reformers.'•
THE EVERTON AND KIREDA LE FLORAL SOCIETY'S ERNI-
RITIoN.—The Floral and• Horticultural Society of Everton
andKirkdale presented for public inspection a show of choice
fruits, flowers, and vegetables, on Thursday week, in a splendid
marquee erected in the garden attached to Mr. New's hotel,
Kirkdale. The day was extremely unfavourable, storm and
rain, without a single gleam of sunshine, having prevailed
from morning's dawn till night-fall. The visitors, therefore,
were exceedingly few; those who did attend being only front
' the immediate netgbonrhood. This was a serious disappoint-
ment to the lovers of nature's most beautiful productions, and
was the more to be regretted, as theexhibition, notwithstand-
the unfavourable season, was one that has scarcely been sur-
passed in auy department. The show of cat nations was par-
ticularly fine, and Mr. Soorn and Mr. Evans, of Chester,
and Mr. Lodge, of Manchester, deserve high compliment fur
their great success in the cultivation of these beautiful ii tiers.
The Calm/arias of Mr. Skirving attracted great attention.
Mr. Skirving's success and admirable taste and skill in
floriculture are too well known to require any commendat ion
of us. The fruit and vegetables were particulary nut.eed as
being of the finest description.
THE TEE-TOTAL DISCUSSION.—We had a ticket sent
us for admission to the "Grand Discussion" with winch the
Tee-totalists have been delighting' themselves during the
week at the Amphitheatre, but our time being occupied with
more important avocations we could not participate in the
delight, and are tee-totally in the dark as to the matter. We
have heard, however,. that an individual named Aciand un-
dertook to maintain the cause of temperance Without the tr!c-
total clause, and Mr.Grubb, the champion of the tee-totallice,
was pitched against hint, and tee-totally thrashed his
Dent. Ott the following evening, Wednesday, Mr. Aciami's
temperance, of course, was diluted into tee-totalisra, .4 mi
went through the farce of publicly signing "THE PLanc,r.;„"
We should not be at all surprised to hear shortly of ilia 1:i:-
coming the paid advocate of teetotalism; stranger ,thines
have come to pass. Whilst on the subject of tee-totalisin
may mention that a rival society it shortly about to be esta-
blished, that it may ramify and strengthen itself helm(' the
ensuing Christmas, which is to be named "The Juvenile
Tee-total Anti-Plum-pudding Society ;" the object of which
society is to prevent the sad effects which take place during
the Christmas holidays amongst children, from overga.4ii.g
themselves with plum-pudding. It was stated the .ther
night, we heard, that a confirmed " drunk-hard" made
ineffectual attempts to sign his name, but could nut d., so
till he hart steadied his hand with sixteen glasses of sixpeeny
gin. We have also heard it as a lamentable and undoiOded
fact that a confirmed though juvenile gorger of plum-pudding
positively ate three and twenty ordinary sized plum puddings
before he could sit bolt upright in his chair!
• SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES.—THE CAUSE LIST.--The
• civil business, at least so far as respect, the number of
• causes for trial at the present assizes, is smaller than it
been since the August assizes, 1836; as will be seen by the
following numbers:—

Salford. West Derby. 'rota,.
1836. August—Causes 54 65 (t)
1837. March ~ 87........ 82 169
August „ 58........ 72
1838. March „ 5l ....... 125 176
August „ 56 6l
These numbers give an average of 61 causes in the :.311ord
hundred list, and 81 in that front the West Derby bniv:ter;
or 142 as the total number entered ; so that the present :tsSIZ,•::
show five fewer causes than the average number from Salford
hundred, and twenty below the average from the West Derby
hundred. In another respect, too, the present assizes show
a decrease,—viz. in the number of causes to be tried by spe-
cial jury. Whether this is owing to the conviction that a
Lancashire common jury is generally as conversant ~nit,
matters of business, and as capable of deriding i ightlY on
mercantile questions, as a special jury could be ex p,•,:1,:,1 iu
be, we shall not pretend to say; but :here are milt two

Amongst other articles of distinguished merit, the Dublin
University Magazine for the present month contains a sketch
of surpassing power under the title of "The Drunkard's
Dream," being a fourth extract from the late F. Purcell,
P.P. of Drumcoolagh. The writer is supposed to have been
sent for to administer the last rites of the Roman Catholic
Church to Pat. Connell, a drunken carpenter, who was sup-
posed to have been dying, if not actually dead, in a fit of
intoxication.
The appearance of the corpse is represented as having
been almost supernaturally horrible, when it suddenly began
to move, and, to the astonishment of the spectators, it was
found that a lancet wound in the arm had unexpectedly
yielded a copious flow of blood, and had thus restored the
patient to animation. The writer proceeds with his narra-
tive in the following terms:—
" I left the patient with leeches upon his temples, and
bleeding freely—apparently with little of the drowsiness
which accompanies apoplexy; indeed, Doctor D— told
me that he had never before witnessed a seizure which
seemed to combine the symptoms of so many kinds, and
which yet belonged to none of the recognised classes; it
certainly was not apoplexy, catalepsy, nor delirium tremens,
and yet it seemed to partake of the properties of all—it was
strange, but stranger things are coming. During two or
three days Dr. D— would not allow his patient to converse
in a manner which could excite or exhaust him, with any
one; he suffered him merely, as briefly as possible, to express
his immediate wants, and it was not until the fourth day
after my early visit, the particulars of which I have just de-
tailed, that it was thought expedient that I should see him,
and then only because it appeared that his extreme importu-
nity and impatience were likely to retard his recovery more
than the mere exhaustion attendant upon a short conversa-
tion could possibly do; perhaps, too, my friend entertained
some hope that if by holy confession his patient's bosom were
eased of the perilous stuff, which no doubt oppressed it, his
recovery would be more assured and rapid. It was, then,
as I have said, upon the fourth day after my first professional
call, that I found myself once more in the dreary chamber
of want and sickness. The man was in bed, and appeared
low and restless. On my entering the room he raised
himself in the bed, and muttered twice or thrice—"lhank
God ! thank God.' I signed to those of his family who
stood by to leave the room, and took a chair beside
the bed. So soon as we were alone, he said, rather
doggedly—' There 's no use now in telling me of the
sinfulness of bad ways—l know it all—l know where they
lead to—l see every thing about it with my own eye-
sight, as plain as I see you.' He rolled himself in the bed,
as if to hide his face in the clothes, and then suddenly raising
himself, he exclaimed with startling vehemence—' Look, sir,
there is no use in mincing the matter; I'm blasted with the
fires of hell; I have been in hell; what do you think of
that?—in hell—Pm lost for ever—l have not a chance—l
am damned already—damned—damned—.' The end of
this sentence he actually shouted; his vehemence was per-
fectly terrific; he threw himself back, and laughed and
sobbed hysterically. I poured some water into a tea cup,
and gave it to him. After he had swallowed it, I told him
that if he had any ening to communicate, to do it as briefly
as he could, and in a manner as little agitating to himself as
possible, threatening at the same time, though I had no in-
tention of doing so, to leave him at once, in case he gave
way to such passionate excitement. It's only foolishness,'
he continued, for me to try to thank you for coming to such
a villain as myself at all ; it's no use for me to wish good to
you or to bless you; for such as me has no blessing to give.'
I told him that 1 had but done my duty, and urged him to
proceed to the matter which weighed upon his mind; he
then spoke nearly as follows :—I came in drunk on Friday
night last, and got to my bed here, I don't remember how;
sometime in the night it seemed to me, I wakened, and feel-
ing uneasy in myself, I got up out of bed. I wanted the
fresh air, but I would not make a noise to open the window,
for fear I'd waken the crathurs. It was very dark, and trou-
blesome to find the door; but at last I did get it, and I
groped my way out, and went down as easy as I could. I
felt quite sober, and I counted the steps one after another,
as I was going down, that I might not stumble at the bottom.
When I came to the first landing place, God be about us
always ! the floor of it sunk under me, and I went down,
down, till the sense almost left me. Ido not know how long
I was falling, but it seemed to me a great while. When I
came rightly to myself at last, I was sitting on a great table,
near the top of it; and I could not see the end of it, if it had
any, it was so far off; and there was men beyond reckoning,
sitting down, all along by it, at each side, as far as I could
see at all. I did not know at first it was in the open air;
but there was a close smothering feel in it, that was not
natural, and there was a kind of light that my eyesight
never saw before, red and unsteady, and I did not see for a
long time where it was coming from, until I looked
straight up, and then I seen that it came from great balls of
blood-coloured fire, that were rolling high over head with a
sort of rushing trembling sound, and I perceived that they
shone on the ribs of a great roof of rock that was arched over-
head instead of he sky. When I seen this, scarce knowing
what I did, I got up, and said, 'I have no right to be here, I
must go,' and the man that was sitting at my left hand, only
smiled, and said sit down again, you can never leave this
place," and his voice was weaker that any child's voice I ever
heard, and when he had done speaking he smiled again. Then
I spoke out very loud and bold, and said—' in the name of
God let me out of this bad place,' And there was a great man,
that I did not see before, sitting at the end of the table that I
was near, and he was taller than twelve men, and his face
was very proud and terrible to look at, and he stood up, and
stretched out his hand before him, and when he stood up, all
that was there, both great and small, bowed down with a sigh-
ing sound, and a dread came on my heart, and he looked at
me, and I could not speak. I felt I was his own, to do what
he liked with, for I knew at once who he was, and he said, 'if
you promise to return you may depart for a season;' and the
voice he spoke with was terrible and mournful, and the echoes
of it went rolling and swelling down the endless cave, and
mixing with the trembling,of the fire overhead; so that, when
he sat down, there was a sound after him, all through the
place, like the roaring of a furnace, and I said, with all the
strength I had, I promise to come back; in God's name let
me go,' and with that I lost the sight and the hearing of all
that was there, and when my senses came to me again, I was
sitting in the bed, with the blood all over me, and you and the
rest praying around the room." Here he paused, and wiped
away the chill drops of horror which hung upon his forehead.
I remained silent for some moments. The vision which he
had just described struck my imagination not a little, for this
was long before Vatheck and the " Hall of Ebles" had de-
lighted the world; and the description which he gave had, as
I received it, all the attractions of novelty, beside the impres-
siveness which always belongs to the narration of an eye wit-
ness, whether in the body or in the spirit, of the scenes which
he describes. There was something, too, in the stern horror
with which the man related these things, and in the incon-
gruity of his description, with the vulgarly received notions
of the great place of punishment, and of its presiding spirit,
which struck my mind with awe, almost with fear. At length
he said, with an expression of horrible, imploring earnestness,
which I shall never forget—" Well, sir, is there any hope ; is
there any chance at all ? or is my soul pledged and
away for ever? is it gone out of my power? must Igo back
to the place?"
In answering him I had no easy task to perform; for how-
ever clear might be my internal conviction of the groundless-
ness of his fears, and however strong my scepticism respect-
ing the reality of what he had described, I nevertheless felt
that his impression to the contrary, and his humility and
terror resulting from it, might be made available as no mean
engines in the work of his conversion from profligacy, and of
his restoration to decent habits, and to religious feeling. I
therefore told him that he was to regard his dream rather in
thelight of a warning than in that of a prophecy ; that our
salvation depended not upon the word or deed of a moment,
but upon the habits of a life; that, in fine, if he at once dis-
carded his idle companions and evil habits, and firmly ad-
hered to a sober, industrious, and religious course of life, the
powers of darkness might claim his soul in vain, for that
there werehigher and firmer pledges than human tongue
could utter, which promised salvation to him who should
repent and lead a new life.
" I left him much comforted, and with a promise to return
upon the next day. I did so, and found him much more
cheerful, and without any remains of the dogged sullenness
which I suppose had arisen from his despair. His promises
of amendment were given in that tone of deliberate ear-
nestess which belongs to deep and solemn determination;
and it was with no small delight that I observed, after re-
peated visits; that his good resolutions, so far from failing, did
but gather strength by time; and when I saw that man shake
off the idle and debauched companions, whose society had for
years formed alike his amusement and his ruin, and revive
his long-discarded habits of industry and sobriety, I said
within myself there is something more in all this than
the operation of an idle dream. One day, some time after
his restoration to health, I was surprised on ascending the
stairs, for the purpose of visiting this man, to find him busily
employed in nailing some planks upon the landing-place,
through which, at the commencement of his mysterious vi-
sion, it seemed to him he had sunk. I perceived at once he
was securing the floor with a view of securing himself against
such a catastrophe, and could scarce forbear a smile when I
bid God bless his work.'
" He perceived my thoughts, I suppose, for he immediate-
ly said,
" I can never pass over that floor without trembling. I'd
leave this house if I could, but I can't find another lodging
in the town so cheap, and I'll not take a better till I've paid
off all my debts, please God; but I could not be easy in my
mind till I made it as safe as I could. You'll hardly believe
me, your honour, that while I'm working, maybe a mile
away, my heart is in a flutter all the way back, with the bare
thoughts of those two little steps I have to walk upon this
bit of a floor. So it's no wonder, I'd thry to make it sound
and firm with any idle timber I have.'
" I applauded his resolution to pay off his debts, and the
steadiness with which he pursued his plan of conscientious
economy, and passed on.
Many months elapsed, and still there appeared no altera-
tion in his resolutions of amendment. He was a good work-
man, and with his better habits he recovered his former ex-
tensive and profitable employment. Every thing seemed to
promise comfort and respectability. I have little more to
add, and that shall be told quickly. I had one evening
met Pat Connell, as he returned from his work, and, as usual,
after a mutual, and, on his side, respectful salutation, I
spoke a few words of encouragement and approval. I left him
industrious, active, healthy—when next I saw him, not three
days after, be was a corpse. The circumstances which marked
the event of his death were somewhat strange—l might say
fearful. The unfortunate man had accidentally met with an
early friend, just returned, after a long absence, and in a
moment of excitement, forgetting everything in the warmth
of his joy, he yielded to his urgent invitation to accompany
him into a public-house, which lay close to the spot where
the encounter had taken place. Connell, however, previ-
ously to his entering the room, had announced his determi-
nation to take nothing more than the strictest temperance
would warrant. But oh ! who can describe the inveterate
tenacity with which a drunkard's habits cling to him through
life. He may repent—he may reform—he may look with
actual abhorrence upon his past profligacy ; but amid all
this reformation and compunction, who can tell the moment
in which the base and ruinous propensity may not recur, tri-
umphing over resolution, remorse, shame, everything, and
prostrating its victim once more in all that is destructive and
revolting in that fatal vice!
" The wretched man left the place in a state of utter in-
toxication. He was brought home nearly insensible, ant.,
placed in his bed, where he lay in the deep, calm lethargy of
drunkenness. The younger part of the family retired to rest
much after their usual hour; but the poor wife remained up
sitting by the fire, too much grieved and shocked at the re-
currence of what she had so little expected, to settle to rest;
fatigue, however, at length overcame her, and she sunk gra-
dually into an uneasy slumber. She could not tell how long
she had remained in this state, when she awakened, and
immediately on opening her eyes, she perceived by the faint
red light of the mouldering turf embers, two persons, one of
whom she recognized as her husband, steal noiselessly out of
the room.
" Pat, darling, where are you going ?' said she. There
was no answer—the door closed after them ; but in a mo-
ment she was startled and terrified by, a heavy crash, as if

MR. O'CONNELL'S FIRST APPEARANCE.
" HARPS OR HEADS."
THE TRIBUTE OR AGITATION.
(From the Dublin Evening Mail.)
The return of Mr. O'Connell to his native land is
to be signalized to-day by a meeting of his constitu-
ents at the Corn Exchange, called by the honourable
gentleman for the purpose of rendering an account of
his stewardship, and organising a menacing agitation,
and a new reign of terror. Were it not for the re-
cent demonstration at Cork, and the intelligible allu-
sions made by the Northern Whig,* and others of the
radical press, to the late democratic proceedings at
Birmingham, we should look upon this parade as a
prelude to the collection of the annual tribute. In
this idea, too, we should be fairly borne out by the
Freeman of this morning, which, in noticing the in-
tended meeting, does not fail to call public attention
to the merits and sacrifices of the lion of the day :
" He was offered (quoth our contemporary) and [he) refused
the highest judicial office to which, as a catholic, he is eligible.
The Chief Baronship of the Exchequer was within his grasp.
It was offered and intended as a fitting reward for a life of la-
borious exertion ; but he felt that his country required his
services in another capacity. He believed that he could be
more useful as an advocate than as a judge, and therefore it
was that he sacrificed rank, and station, and emolument, with-
out hesitation and without regret."
The meeting, however, may serve the double pur-
pose of recruiting the [King'st] exhausted exchequer,
and exciting the Queen's subjects to revolutionary
enterprises.
Here is the proclamation :
" TO MT CONSTITUENTS.
"I respectfully solicit a meeting of my constituents at the
Corn Exchange, this day, (the 15th instant) at half-after one
o'clock, to receive from me a statement of the manner in which
1 have endeavoured to perform my duty to them during the
closing session, and to consider of ulterior measures to pro-
cure from the British legislature ' full justice for Ireland,' or
to provide for the contingency of a perseverance in the refusal
of that legislature to right the people of Ireland.
"Your faithful servant.
"DANIEL O'CONNELL.
"N.B.—To prevent inconvenient pressure, a charge of One
Shilling each will be made at the door for admission.
"" Gallery free for Ladies exclusively.
"T. M. RAY."
This ordinance, unlike Lord Durham's, may be le-
gal for what we know : it will, like the tithe gather-
ings, be construed so at the Castle. But the menaced
provision for " contingencies" sounds in our ears very
like sedition. If it involve, as we are informed it
does, a resolution to be agreed upon for a preparatory
Institution for Repeal of the Union, in case Justice
be not done to Ireland, our hearing has not deceived
ns ; and we add, that if it had not the same effect upon
the tympanum of the multitude, very few would pay
their shilling at the door, for listening to the mounte-
bank prating of his whereabout.
But, appropos of the Tribute, what is this we hear
about Caherciveen ?
s
" A vein of rich copper ore," says the Castle gazette, "has
been discovered upon the property of Mr. O'Connell, at
Caherciveen."
The worthy proprietor had a stock of brass before
sufficient to form the capital of an assurance company.
Being now so well supplied with the coppers, we cal-
culated he will henceforth dispense with the coppers
of the poor; and that the ragged man will not be
called upon for his halfpenny, and the starving man
for his threehalfpence to swell the coffers of the pro-
prietor of the Caheyeiveen ccooce.

On Saturday evening Dr. Grant delivered the fourth of his
highly instructive lectures, in which he explained the struc-
ture of the myriapods and true insects. The diagrams were
upon an extensive scale, and presented graphic views of the
anatomy of the centipede, cockchafer, bee, &c.
Insects form by far the largest class in the animal kingdom,
above 150,000 different species being already known to na-
turalists, and every day the class is receiving further additions
by the discoveries of naturalists in every quarter of the world.
These creatures inhabit every latitude and every altitude on
the face of the globe. They swarm like animalcules in the
atmosphere; in fact, they may be considered the animalcules
of the air, in like manner as the polygastric tribe are animal-
cules of the water. They swarm throughout the strata of the
earth wherever it is of a loose-and porous texture, both in the
perfect state and in that of larva. They swarm even in the
water, and we observe them to employ their wings as well as
their feet to propel them through that element. They breathe
the atmospheric air by means of trachea, or air tubes, rami-
fying through every part of their bodies. Insects swarm so
much in warm climates as often to cloud the sun. The ra-
vages of the locusts are two well known in the east. Even
the ants are observed to advance in colonies resembling the
habitations of man, and they are more to be dreaded than
the lions and tigers of the forests. Insects are organized to
consume all forms of organic matter—anitnal or vegetable—
living or dead. They are the scavengers of our atmosphere,
checking the emission of the effluvia which would otherwise
arise from decayed organic substances; and thus keep the
air purified for the other tribes of organic beings. As insects
are destined to move through so light a fluid as atmospheric
air, they require a very different formation from that of the
various beings which have hitherto passed under our notice.
An insect, it is true, begins its existence as a crawling ser-
pentine worm, and is, in fact, in its adult state, but a ser-
pent flying through the atmosphere. It is not sufficient,
however, that wings should be attached to the side of a worm
to enable it to fly through the air, every part of the structure
must be contrived with a special view to the purposes of fly-
ing; for if we were to connect the wings and necessary mus-
cles to the sides of an ordinary worm and fish, the exertion
requisite to enable theta to move through the air would tear
their soft and slender skeletons into pieces.
The study of insects, in consequence of the great extent of
this class of animals, forces itself upon our attention. The
ravages which they commit upon the living and dead, upon
the vegetable and animal kingdom, are subjects which cannot
escape our observation. Insects far exceed double the num-
ber of all the vertebrated tribes of animals taken collectively.
They force themselves upon our attention by the pain which
they create, and in this we should consider that the partial
evil always tends to the general good—nature's good, of
course. Insects have likewise special charms wherewith to
engage our attention. We will not speak of the immense
supply of wax which they alone are capable of supplying, of
the mellifluous sweets with which they delight our palates,
or of the valuable red dye which we obtain from the cochineal
insect—our business is with their anatomy—with the means
by which an allwise Providence has enabled them to obtain
a daily subsistence and assimilate to their own likeness the
various matters upon which they feed.
The colour of insects is very beautifully adapted to the si-
tuations and circumstances in which they exist. Thus we at
once perceive that the black is the best colour for these in-
sects intended to live in dark cells, and such we find to be the
case. 'Who can perceive an insect in motion or at rest with-
out admiring the beauty of its proportions, its graceful ante-
nuw amid numerous eyes ! Look at the beautiful contrivances
by which it is enabled to walk across a roof, or the surface of
a polished mirror, without the least uncertainty, or apparent
difficulty ! Let the tempest howl and the tree shake, and see
how securely it grasps the bark in defiance of the utmost
efforts of the storm to dislodge it ! Who can contemplate
the industry and patience of the ant, and not learn habits of
economy, and feel a wish to emulate its labours! Look at
the political economy of the bee, and see how well worthy it
is of adoption by the most civilised state ! We have now,
however, as we before stated, to direct our attention to that
which is not so pleasing. We have to look into the mysteries
of the organization of these beautiful beings, and investigate
the secret machinery by which they are enabled to exhibit all
those outward physical phenomena. It will at once strike
us, that as the exterior of the body of the worm is soft, it is
thereby unfitted for the adaptation of powerful wings calcu-
lated to rend the flesh asunder by their action, without the
intervention of some ossified medium fit for the action of
highly energetic muscles. We find this to be the case ; the
material of this ossified covering is not, however, the same as
that of the muscle and lobster—carbonate of lime. That would
not answer, because it is too heavy a material, and it would re-
quire too large a mass of it mingled with animal matter to
give the required strength. Phosphate of lime, the substance of
human bones, is the chosen material, and its strength and
levity render it peculiarly adapted for the inhabitants of so
airy a region. There is a little phosphate of lime in the
corals and in the cruetacea. The appearance of this exterior
skeleton is that of horn, and at one time it was taken to be
of a horny nature. But if you take a hair, and place it in
the flame of a lamp, it will dissolve and curl up. This is not
the case with the exterior covering of the beetle, as upon ig-
nition it will burn with a light flame, and still preserve its
shape. Whether the insect is in the state of a myriapod or
true insect, or arachnids, still this consolidated material
forms the exterior of the body. The body of the insect,
like that of the worm, is divided into segments, but to
a much less extent. The myriapods are a connecting
link between the worm and true insect. The myriapods
have not the same number of segments as the worm, but
they are placed at equal distances. The 'change from a
myriapod to an insect is still more remarkable—several seg-
ments unite and change in form. The anterior skeleton is
changed and hardened, so as to allow of the attachment of
wings, and to protect the internal organs. The myriapods
have a nervous system connected with their organs of feeling
and motion. Fortunately for animals there are many mo-
tions which go on without their cognizance. - Thus man
cannot will the stoppage of the heart, of the rush of the blood,
or of the peristaltic motion of their intestines... These go on
undisturbed whether we are asleep or awake. ,We can please
ourselves whether we stretch out our band or not. The nerves
of the myriapods proceed from a great spiral ,cord- running'
through the central axis. .
There are thirteen segments in the body of a true inaect.
The foremost contains the organs of mastication, the mandi-
bles, and the palpi. The latter appear to be organs of sense;
but, as we have none, we cannot attempt to describe the
sensations which they produce. It would-be as rational to
expect that we should be able to do so, as that a blind man
should describe blue or red. They have organs called amen-
me, apparently connected with the sense of hearing. We
can distinctly prove the antennse to be the organs of hearing
in the crustaceous animals, but we have not. been able to
satisfy ourselves on-this point with respect to insects. The
insects have compound organs of vision. There can be
counted more than 20,000 fcicies in the eyes of au insect.
The transparent cornea can likewise be distinguished in con-
nexion with a crystalline lens. The vitreous humour has only
yet been fouUd in aqueous insects—it exists in the leech.
The eye of the insect, however, wants the complicated appa-
ratus which we see in the higher classes of animals, such as
the eyelids, eyelashes, &c. In place of these, the animal has
an epidermic covering over its eye which is insensible. It is
-important to know how an entomologist describes an insect.
He considers-it as composed of three thoracic segments. The
first he calls the prothuracic segment, the second the mezzo
thoracic, and the third the meta. A pair of legs is attached
to each of these segments. The posterior wings are attached
to the meta thoracic segment. In flies, these are wanting,
hence they are called depterous insects. In reality there is
no such thing as one pair of wings, but the second pair is so
small as almost to escape our notice. The forms of the wing
vary exceedingly. They are permeated with blood vessels
and air cells, the latter of which gives them their reticulated
structure. To these three thoracic segments succeed the nine
segments of the body, which seem very like the segments of
the myriapod or worm. The last of these segments is some-
times wanting, and it is then metaphorised into the sting.
Whilst insects are in the state of larvae they are the most
voracious of animals, living seemingly but for the purpose of
enjoyment and the gratification of an insatiable appetite- It
strikes us as nothing remarkable that an insect should have
six feet. This arrangement is, however, the most remarka-
able piece of organic structure in the animal creation. That
150,000 beings, whether they have wings or no wings, should
.have six feet, whether they have to have to seek their food in
. dungeons, or, like the butterfly, to roam from flower to flower.
there is nothing like it in the animal kingdom. These
parts, however, are extra vascular, and they serve as means
of attachment, to allow the muscles to act. Four thousand
and sixty muscles have been counted in these organs and
connecting membranes in the body of an insect; let the
atratomist-compare this with what he knows of the human
body—not one-fourth of the amount. In making the change
from a worm into an insect, an alteration takes place in all
pat ts of the creatures economy. The masticatin, apparatus,
the digestive organs, the nervous system, and 'the central
system, all undergo a change. The liver of the cockchafer
consists of a number of conglomerate tubuli; other insects
are provided with follicular glands, for the purpose of pouring
in gastric juice to digest the food. The circulating system
of insects is a beautiful piece of mechanism. It was at one
time thought, that as the humour passes so extensively
through the body of an insect as to reach all parts of its body,
there was no necessity for a circulating system,-but more
careful investigation shows us how erroneous was this con-
clusion. .We see in some insects eight segments of the heart,
each of which has.a valvular structure capable of allowing
the ingress of fluid. These segments are contractable, by
which means the blood is impelled forwards. It cannot get
back, because the valves close. Every thing about this sys-
tem is as_ elaborately- executed as in man. -Who says that
• insects are cold blooded? Let' him place-a therraometer within
the hive of a bee, and he will find that it is exceedingly warm.
''Through the smallness of' the creatures, and their rapid
passage through the air, theruis a great lois of calaric from
their bodies; but their lungs are of the- most beautiful con-
struction, and well calculated to impart a great degree of
warmth to their bodies. Let the astronomer point us out
worlds unnumhered—Jet him tell u5....0f-4vraoalie- revolving
round centres, to an incalculable extent, in the regions of
space—until he dazzles us with the amazing extent of the
creation ; but let us not for a moment doubtthat the minutest
living being is not as perfectly elaborated as the most com-
plicated system of the universe.
We are glad to find an increasing attendance of the faculty
at these lectures. This is the highest compliment which the
town is capable of paying the merits of Dr. Grant.

(From the Liverpool Courier.)
Although most of our re.azlers are aware that a considera-
ble portion of the civilised woid is supplied with salt from
the prolific vein of rock in this neighbourhood, and although
many spend considerable sums in travel for the gratification
of their curiosity, and compass sea and land to discover a
shattered fragment or a mutilated statue, yet we are per-
suaded, that thousands of intelligent persons may be found,
in our immediate vicinity, who have not the most remote idea
of the magnificent spectacle which the salt mines of North-
wich present. Having had the recent gratification of wit-
nessing the huge cavern in which the present Emperor of
Russia and his suite, and also our late lamented representa-
tive, Mr. Canning, were once so hospitably received and en-
tertained, we think a slight sketch of this wonderful mine
may not be uninteresting to our readers.
Several gentlemen having expressed a desire, at the hospi-
table table of one of the proprietors, that they might be per-
mitted to explore the subterranean world, the request was not
only acceded to, but a large party of ladies and gentlemen
were invited from Liverpool. Bolton, St. Helen's, Congleton,
and other places, to meet at Northwich on Wednesday, where
Mr. Worthington, Mr. Johnson, and other gentlemen con-
nected with the extensive works, had made preparations for
their reception. 'We left Liverpool by the eight o'clock Bir-
mingham train, and, with the aid of one of those wonderful
machines which is destined to assist in civilising mankind,
and to effect kindly feelings between distant nations by mak-
ing them acquainted with each other, and which will, in a
few years, lay open the wonders of unknown regions to every
class, wearrived at Hartford station in about an hour-and-
a-half, where we found vehicles ready to carry us to North-
wich, distant only two miles. From this smoky but busy and
thriving place to the great mine is about a mile, and the
whole of the party, consisting of about seventy persons,
having assembled at the "eye of the mine," preparations
were made for the descent. Some little hesitation was evinced
by the ladies, and not a few of the gentlemen were suddenly
seized with that troublesome disorder called palpitation of
the heart, when the rope and bucket were adjusted, and the
question asked, " Who will descend first?" After a little
bantering, one of the ladies stepped forward, escorted by a
gentleman, and seated herself in the large tub, which was
lihed with brown Holland, and the signal being given, the
slide was withdrawn which covers the shaft of the mine, and
in a few seconds they were out of sight. Friendly messages
were sent by them to Pluto, and the gentleman was advised
when he saw old Charon, to " trim the boat and sit quiet."
Successive pairs presented themselves and quickly disap-
peared, each accompanied by a miner, to steady the tub,
and pass in security the one ascending. Some of the gentle-
men, on the principle of the schoolboy passing the church-
yard at midnight, who " whistled aloud to keep his courage
up," amused themselves by uttering, not singing,
Friends depart and memory takes them
To her caverns pure and deep, &c.
The diameter of the shaft is about 12 feet, and the sides
are strongly cased with brickwork until the rock is sufficiently
strong to stand without such support. At a depth of 70 yards
we passed the entrance to the upper bed of rock-salt, which
is about 15 feet thick, and is entered horizontally from the
shaft. The sensation of descending is peculiar, but it is
neither dangerous nor unpleasant. The rope, which is quad-
rupled, is calculated to raise a ton weight, and seldom more
than three persons, including the conductor, went down at
one time. On arriving at the the bottom, the most splendid
scene imaginable awaited us. It seemed as if we had been
suddenly ushered into a spacious city at midnight, when
every inhabitant was fast asleep, and where nothing inter-
vened to break the solemn silence. The view is at first
most astounding; the visitor sees long and spacious streets
diverging at every point, and vanishing away in a long
perspective. Here a noble square,—there an extended cre-
scent; here a magnificent avenue,—there a space which
imagination peoples with a thousand forms. Seventeen
hundred candles, disposed so as to imitate the street lamps,
but only twenty or thirty feet apart, illuminated this subterra-
neouS world, and shed over it a magnificence which no pen
can fully describe. It seemed as if one had suddenly dropped
into the grotto of Antiparos, or had been carried back to a
midnight at Bagdad, and expected to meet the Caliph
Haroun Alraschid, in one of his nocturnal rambles through
that once brilliant city. When the whole party had arrived
safely at the bottom, a sort of procession was spontaneously
formed, and moved onwards through the fairy scene, all, both
ladies and gentlemen, taking care not to be left far behind,
as it would really be a difficult, if not impossible, matter, for
a stranger to find his way alone to the pit's mouth. The
party moved onwards through avenues of immense length,
all exhibiting a blaze of splendour, and occasionally stopped
to examine the square blocks of pure salt which are now and
then cut out of the rock. After a walk of more than a mile
through this scene of enchantment, on turning a corner, we
saw, at the end of what seemed a vast square, the Royal
Crown of Great Britain, and the letters V. R. glittering
before us in all their brilliancy, and three cheers were imme-
diately called for the Queen, and most heartily given by all
present, the echoes dying away in the far distance. Pursuing
our course, we were struck with a most singular appearance
at the end of an adjoining avenue which had been purposely
left in darkness. The whole vault was at once lit up with an
unearthly. splendour. The roof and the huge pillars which
support it were vastly magnified, and the shadows were
blended with the beautiful glace in a most remarkable man-
ner. It seemed as if a rainbow had suddenly made its ap-
pearance, and that the sun and clouds were striving for the
mastery to gild or quench it. At last we saw a flame such
as the witches in Macbeth had kindled, and several figures
bending over it, whose shadows on the opposite wail were
magnified to twenty times their size, exhibiting, with the
rough edges of the pillars, a sharp distinctiveness of outline,
which had a singular but beautiful effect. This illumination,
which was several times repeated, was produced by burning
blue lights in the distance, and gave us a good idea of the
vastness of the excavation. V. -e next came upon the miners
at work, and, as two blasts had been prepared, after all the
party had ascended a ridge of the rock, and were placed at
some distance behind the blasts, in a secure place, the match
was applied and the explosion ensued. Many tons of the
rock-salt were immediately loosened, and some of the shat-
tered fragments were blown to a considerable distance. The
shock of the explosion did not subside for several minutes,
but kept rolling onwards like thunder, echoed and re-echoed
from vault to vault, until it gradually subsided into a dying
cadence, and was finally lost in the distance.
A few streets further we entered another spacious square,,
and after our long walk, which, with the windings; must have
been from two to three miles, were not a little gratified to see
a table spread in the upper end of the square, which we found
covered with a profusion of good things, both edible and di-
lutable, to which ample justice was done. The health of
her Majesty was drunk in sparkling champagne, amidst the
loudest cheers, and God save the Queen was sung by all
present, the sweet voices of the ladies blending most har-
moniously with the continual reverberations of this exten-
sive cavern. Much humour was caused by references to the
unhappy mortals in the toiling world above; and it was ob-
served by the chairman, who sat in front of an illuminated
arch, that those were mistaken who asserted that the sun
never set on any part of her Majesty's dominions, for we
were then in one portion of it, where it never set, unless it
were contended, that it could not set upon a territory on
which it had never yet risen. The health of the proprietors,
with thanks for their splendid treat, was next proposed,
and after a libation had been poured out to the ladies,
whose presence added so much to the happiness of the
day, the party rose to pursue their researches, and the
miners were left to gather up the fragments of the feast, when
it was soon found that nothing was lost. After the banquet,
the chairman proposed that, as we were assembled in one of
the wonders of creation, and had all been so highly delighted
with the scene, it would display our gratitude if we praised
Him from whom all blessings flowed, and it would not be in-
consistent with the rational enjoyment we had that day pos-
sessed. The doxology was accordingly sang, none joining in
it with great fervour than the poor miners who now crowded
around, and as the lights soon after began to give symptoms
of decay, one here and another there going out, preparation
was made for the ascent, after three and a half delighted hotirs
in the realisation of scenes to which the artificial exhibition's-
of earth, when decorated with all the skill and splendour of
the most ingenious and talented artists, bear a taint com-
parison.
In about half an hour, the whole party were safely landed
on the upper platform, the steam-engine drawing up four per-
sons in about a minute and a halt, or, at most, not exceeding
two minutes, the depth being 112 yards. After mutual con-
gratulations the party separated for their respective residen-
ces, and the Birmingham and Liverpool train passing Hart-
ford at half-past five o'clock, gave those who were disposed
an opportunity of arriving very early at home.
We are not intending to enter into any scientific explana-
tion respecting the formation of the immense and valuable
mines which extend for some miles around and under North-
wich, more especially as the philosophers who visited this
town last year investigated the subject most minutely, and
the result of their visit is before the world; but we may add,
that it is generally believed, that the climate of this country,
in a former period, has partaken more of a tropical character
than it does now,—that these mines have probably been the
bed of a large salt-water lake,—tbat evaporathin has pro-
ceeded slowly,—and that during the deposition of the saline
particles, the lake has been Subject to great inundations, and
the deposition has, by such means; been SubjectedAd an ack
mixture of iron, sand, and ferughious clay, which. with a
small portion of magnesia, forms the rock-salt, 'of which this
stratification is composed.
The upper bed of this great mine contains a deposit of sul-
phate of lime and clear crystals ; but, as far as we could leant,
is not so valuable as the bed we have described. Blocks of
two feet square are occasionally found in a state of crystalli-
sation, unmixed with any earthy particles; a few specimens
of these we observed in our underground peregrinations. The
circumference of the mine is about two miles, and the aver-
age height is probably 15 to 18 feet. It is perfectly dry, and
most admirably ventilated. The temperature, both summer
and winter, is about 55 deg. The avenues are from 70 to 80
feet wide, and the roof is supported by pillars of 20 feet square.
It has a most elegant appearance when illuminated, being
spotted with figures of every shape and variety of shade ; some
are elliptical, some pentagonal, some circular, some triangu-
lar, &c. Ponies are kept below to draw the rock on the rail-
ways to the mouth of the pit, and the stables are the first ob-
jects to arrest the eve on alighting, being placed so near the
shaft for purposes of ventilation.
We have been induced 'to give the above slight sketch of
this wonderful region, because we are assured that numbers
exist within a few hours' journey whose curiosity would be sa-
tisfied, and whose knowledge would be increased, by visiting
them. To the geologist they form an interesting study; to
the lover of natural beauty a rich treat; and all may visit
them with profit and delight, as a part of the works of Him
i of whom it is said with such majestic simplicity, "The sea is
his and he made it, and his hands prepared the dry land."

WHIRI.WIND.—The whirlwind which we mentioned on
Wednesday as having. occurred in the neighbourhood of Old-
ham on Monday evening, was felt also near Middleton, where
its violence was very great, tearing large branches from all
the trees growing in its course, and carrying them to an im-
mense height in the air. Some of them are said to have been
carried a mile from the place whence they were torn. A very
large willow tree, at Little Green Mill, near Middleton was
split up the middle during the storm ; but we should rather
suppose, that-this must have been done by lightning, which
was several times observed during the continuance of the phe-
nomenon.—Manchester Guardian.

A girl, on being asked at the Mayor's Court, Clonmel, on
Wednesday, the 25th July, where she would go if she took
a false oath, replied, "To Father Baldwin's for absolution,
of course."

APPROACH TO THE MIRACULOUS.—On Saturday evening,
a little boy, aged six years, was amusing himself by throwing
stones into an old coal-pit at Dudley Hill, when, having the
curiosity to look after a stone in its descent, he was precipita-
ted to the bottom of the pit, a depth of fifty-four feet. Having
been seen to fall by a person at the time, means were imme-
diately employed to bring him up. On being taken home,
surgical aid was promptly procured, when, on a careful ex-
amination, it was found that not a bone was broken, nor a
joint dislocated ! The only wounds were one or two trifling

ON BATHING.—For youth of both sexes cold bathing -in
summer and tepid in winter is highly useful, and ought to
be frequently indulged in; but great care is to be observed
that bathing in rivers be not commenced too early in summer,
before the water has acquired a proper degree of temperature ;
and, at all times, that there be not too great a difference be-
tween the temperature of the body and that of the water. To
expose the body to great and sudden varieties of temperature
is always dangerous. Swimming is an exercise which calls
into active exertion all the muscles of the body, and is, there-
fore, one tending much to strengthen the frame; but it ought
not to be continued for any length of time; the slightest sen-
sation of weariness should be the signal for immediately
leaving the liquid element and retreating to terra firma. To
remain in the water after this monition, is not only to throw
away all the benefits of the previous exercise, but to induce
an exhaustion of strength so great as sometimes to prove fatal.
It is truly gratifying, to observe the facilities that are daily
springing up for enabling even the poor classes of soci..-

case, she called repeatedly on her husband, but in vain.--
She returned to the room, and with the assistance of her
daughter, whom I had occasion to mention before, she suc-
ceeded in finding and lighting a candle, with which she hur-
ried again to the head of the staircase. At the bottom lay
what seemed to be a bundle of clothes, heaped together, mo-
tionless, lifeless—it was her husband. In going down the
stairs, for what purpose can never now be known, he had
fallen helplessly and violently to the bottom, and, coming
head formost, the spine at the neck had bee❑ dislocated by
the shock, and instant death must have ensued. The body
lay upon that landing-place to which his dream had referred.
It is scarcely worth endeavouring to clear up a single point

FATAL EFFECTS OF FEAR.—During the journey north-
wards of the stage-waggon of Messrs. Deacon and Co., of the
White Horse-yard, Cripplegate, when entering Wormley
from Cheshunt, it was found to be on fire, and the conductor
having an impression that there were two barrels of gun-
powder in the vehicle, the horses were taken off, and they
were got away as soon as possible. The result was, the
wagon and its contents, thus left to their fate, were con-
sumed to ashes. It since appears that there was not a
particle of powder in the waggon. The property destroyed
is estimated at 1:3,000 It consisted of tea, a pianoforte,
with case, weighing six cwt., household furniture of various
descriptions, linen, hams (several of which were yesterday
brought to Messrs. Deacon completely roasted), a large
quantity of percussion caps, wine, spirits, &c.—County
Chronicle.

* * As I have already said, bathing is highly benefi-
cial at every season of the year, and tepid bathing is perfectly
safe even in the middle of winter; if on emerging from the
bath the body be rubbed completely dry, and active exercise
be taken no one need fear any ill consequences. It should,
however, be added, that bathing is not in every case useful;
and there are many states of the system in which it would
prove highly injurious. Delicate persons ought. therefore, to
act with (ft-eat caution in this matter. I have visited most of
the baths in England, at Paris, Dieppe, and many other parts
of the continent, including that built for Napoleon at Aix la
Chapelle; but the Ladies' New Bath at Gravesend, covered
with glass, and planted with flowers and shrubs, excels them

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Aug 13.
We have had a very large supply of Beasts at market to-day, and
the quality only middling ; prices are a shade less than last week,
and notwithstanding there were many purchasers, the market for
Beef has been rather heavy, from an expectation of a further re-
duction in price, consequently there has been a good few Beasts of
inferior quality left unsold. The supply of Sheep has also been
vary large, but Lambs were not so plentiful as for several of the
preceding weeks, and the damands have been principally for large
Wether Sheep of goOd quality, which were readily sold at last
week's quotations. Lambs were eagerly sought after from their
scarcity, and sold at good prices, and there were none left unsold
save these of a very inferior quality. There were a good few Sheep
left unsold, which were very ordinary, and principally Ewes. Good
Beef may be quoted at 6d per lb, middling sfd, very ordinary at a
shade less. Good Wether Mutton was sold at 61d, ordinary and
Ewes at 6d, and Lambs at from 6d to 61d per lb. Number of Cat-
