THE SHILLELAGH.—In the good old times, the Irish
kings, princes, and thanes, corresponded with one ano-
ther by means of walking-sticks, which they covered with
nicks ; from which came the proverb, " nick the post,"
said the Brancher. Thus, when one prince was offended
by another, instead of sitting down with a pen in his
hand to write him a challenge, he pulled out his skeioe,
and cutting a few fierce nicks in his walking stick, sent it
to his enemy, and if the latter broke it upon, the bearer's
head, it was understood that the challenge was accepted.
`lf a gentleman became enamoured of it fair lady, he
'straightway sent her his stick, with a hole bored through
the heart of it, and if she returned it with a ring fastened
to one end, he becaine the happiest of then rhen a
lady Carried a ring upon the end of her shillelagh, itk,Yras
Maderstood that she *LIS betrothed, arid:Vat:ly than pre--
Burned to pay her particular attention after that; the lady
Was at full liberty to break hia head for his pairie;---

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

DUBLIN CONN EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 22

There was a lage supply of Wheat at this day's market, which
met a dull sale, at about the prices of Tuesday. Oats and
Barley were in better demand, but without any improvement
in prices.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, SEPTEMBER 20.
We had a very full market to-day of all kinds of Stock, and as
the weather continues very warm, butchers bought very
sparing;y, and we therefore note all the kinds of meat as de-
cidedly lower, and at the close of the market, a considerable
quantity were unsold.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1843-09-26

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 22.

The supply of Sheep this morning was much smaller than for
some weeks since on Friday, the number being only 6,760 head.
Beasts were plentiful, and Calves and Pigs a good supply. Beef
and Mutton were both a dull sale, and the former at 3s 10d and
and the latter at 4s 2d per stone for the best quality. Lamb,
Veal, and Pork. however,met with a pretty brisk trade,!at better
prices. 18-Stone Calves made 4s Bd, small Dairy fed and Young
Porxers 4s 10d, and Lambs :s. (Per stone of Slb sinking the
offal.)

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 23.
The trade has exhibited much firmness during the week, and
a steady business has been done at full, and, as regards Flour,
improving prices. The weather continues to be wonderfully
favourable for the closing up of the harvest, in even the most
remote districts.

Supplies of Wheat and Flour are scarcely commensurate with
the existing demand, which clears every thing off on arrival.
Oats and Oatmeal though not in such active request, have met
a steady sale at full prices.

At Wakefield and Liverpool yesterday a large business was
transacted in Wheat, Flour, and Oatmeal, at higher rates.
At our market to day, the little Wheat offering meets sale at
an advance of fully 2d per bushel. Flour in good demand and
Is per sack higher. Oats and Oatmeal steady at late rates, with
more inclination to purchase. Beans without alteration. Fine
Malt supports its value, but secondary and inferior qualities are
very difficult of sale.

Both were dressed in their full uniform. During the
disturbance in South Wales, the late Major Armstrong,
of the 45th Infantry, then doing duty there, preached in
a similar way, until an order arrived from the Horse
Guards prohibiting him to do so. A similar prohibition
will, it is expected, be issued against the two privates
spoken of above indulging their propensities for open-air
preaching. The conduct, both of the soldiers and their
auditory, on Saturday, was decorous and exemplary.—

WAnn.—THE CHURN-I.—ln consequence of the reso-
lution (agreed upon at the last vestry meeting) to quit the
church immediately after the reading of the Nicene Creed
having become publicly known, a large number of per-
sons from Hertford and other places attended Ware
church on Sunday morning last, for the purpose of wit-
nessing the expected extraordinary scene. Upon entering
the church, it was apparent that many of the usual attend-
ants were absent, and that their places were occupied by
persons unconnected with the parish of \%Tare. At the
appointed time, just as the curate (the Rev. Mr. Willcock)
was proceeding to the pulpit, about 100 persons, compri-
sing a large proportion of the must influential inhabitants
of the town, rose noiselessly from their seats and quitted
the church. The curate eyed the congregation with ap-
parent amazement, and waited until the last one had left
the sacred edifice before he offered up the prayer which
precedes the sermon. The strangers, who appeared to
expect sonic remarks from the preacher relative to the
scene that had just occurred, remained in their seats, so

that a tolerable numerous auditory was left. The seats
near the pulpit, however, presented a desolate a pear-
ance. No allusion was made in the dimmer
isting differences.—Hertford Reformer.i7 _ -

TAE-PEACE
AND

PING—PLENTY.
IT is with the above appropriate characters—the Eng-
lish signification of which is " Peace and Plenty," that
CAPT. PI DDI NG'S Chinese corre,ponderit heads his
last communication from Fo-kein. " He•tven," he adds,
" approving, has rained down blessings on the Central
Nation. In the same Season, Peace is proclaimed, and
Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4418," (A. D.
1811,) " when the Earth was revivified by the broom-
tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri-
ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra-
grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality; whilst the
plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf.
•flius has nature conspired with the gods to make man
happy."
The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS,
just received, realises all that he anticipated from the
above communication. Their quality is most assuredly
the finest he has known. Their abundance—with a remis-
sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to
reduce the price below what they have ever before been
charged.
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is
accordingly REDUCED from Ss. 6d. the Catty Package
to 6s. the Pound Package. His SMALL LEAF GUN-
POWDER is REDUCED from Twelve Shillings the
Catty Package to Ss. 6d. the Pound Package.
The Signature of the Sole Importer, " Captain JOHN
RHODES PIDDING," Hon. Company's Service, Fellow
Med. Bot. Society, &c., is on every Genuine Package.

__—
THE SHILLELAGH.—In the good old times, the Irish
kings, princes, and thanes, corresponded with one ano-
ther by means of walking-sticks, which they covered with
nicks ; from which came the proverb, " nick the post,"
said the Brancher. Thus, when one prince was offended
by another, instead of sitting down with a pen in his
hand to write him a challenge, he pulled out his skeine,
and cutting a few fierce nicks in his walking stick, sent it
to his enemy, and if the latter broke it upon the bearer's
head, it was understood that the challenge was accepted.
If a gentleman became enamoured of a fair lady, he
straightway sent her his stick, with a hole bored through
the heart of it, and if she returned it with a ring fastened
to one end, he, became the happiest of men ; and when a
lady carried a ring upon the end of her shillelagh, it was
understood that she was betrothed, and if any man pre-
sumed to pay her particular attention after that, the lady
was at full liberty to break his head for his pains.—
