He scarcely could have heard this prayer in the min..
of the hootings of the crowd ; but that voice, that sup-
pliant attitude, those features so well and fondly che-
rished in his memory, electrified the young man. He no
longer thought of danger—he forgot the advice of Albert
—and striking his spurs into the sides of his horse, dashed
through the crowd, exclaiming with a loud voice— LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Tins DAY

GENERAL MISCELLANY,

We rejoice to say that the Oastler Liberty fund is pro-
gressing favourably.

On Monday week a cow was cut in two by the afternoon
train from York to Castleford.

Lieutenant-General Sir Peregrine Maitland has been
appointed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, in place
of Sir G. Napier.

The town-council of Yarmouth have resolved to abolish
the dues previously exacted from vessels for "anchorage"
in Yarmouth Roads.

Balfe has sold the music of the " Bohemian Girl" for
£4OO to Messrs. Chappell, who have given Bunn £lOO for
the words of the songs, &c.

RETURN OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT.—On
Thursday the royal party, after their provincial trip, re-
turned to Windsor in perfect health.
Up yards of 40 vessels cleared out of Limerick on Fri-
day, laden with corn, flour, butter, and provisions, for
ports in England and Scotland.

LONG SERVICES.—The 55th regiment, now in China,
has been abroad since 1821; the 3rd, since 1822; and the
13th and 40th, since 1823.

Mr. Aldam, M.P. for Leeds, who is now on a tour in
the United States, has just purchased the Frickley Hall,
Yorkshire, estate for £63,000.
The butchers in the neighbourhood of Darlington have
commenced killing cattle and sheep for the London mar-
ket, and sending them regularly by railway ; which they
find to answer their purpose.

ALL PEWTER.—A few nights since the Baptist Chapel
situate in Vere's Yard, Stratford, was broken into. The
burglars finding the plate to be all pewter, they decamped,
leaving the booty behind.

A Mr. Wyett, of Cheapside, has complained to the
newspapers that the League have set his name down as a
subscriber to their fund, whilst, in fact, he is opposed to

NATIONAL CHESS MATCH.—Eleven games have
played between M. St. Arrant and Mr. Staunton,
'aris. Mr. Staunton, the English champion, has won
eight games, M. St. Amant two, and one game was drawn.
From an oificial return just presented to the govern-
ment, it appears that since the year 1829, no less than
forty-five thousand new houses, forming seven hundred
and fifty new streets and squares, have been erected, or

THE DAILY PAPERS.—It is said that the proprietors
of the daily papers intend to raise the price of their papers

from sd. to 6d. Assuming the circulation of the Times
to be 12,000 a day, this will give to that paper an addi-
tional profit of 4:15,650 a year.
It will give some idea of the loss sustained by the
holders of t

..e shares of the United States Bank, when
we state, that 100 shares, which sold, on Saturday, in
London, for £9OO, originally cost the holder £22,000.—

'art °f I PEDESTRI

Ism.—On Tuesday evening last, at twenty
minutes to five o'clock, John Perry, the American black,
commenced, in Ripon, the arduous task of 'walking one
mile and a quarter every hour for a thousand successive
hours. His average speed appears to be about 161 minutes
for the hour's distance.

The indisposition of Earl Grey has increased so much
during the lest few days, as to excite the most serious ap-
prehensions of the family, nearly all the members of
which are assembled at Howick. The venerable earl is
confined to his room, and is said to be gradually sinking
from exhaustion, arising from decay of nature.
A NEW FEMALE OCCUPATION.—The School of De-
sign at Somerset-house has established a class for the in-
struction of women in wood engraving. It is already well
attended, and has added another to the very limited op-
portunities for the occupation of female talent which exist
in this country.

INCREASE OF HOUSES.—In Leeds it appears by the
late census returns, about 6000 houses were built in the
ten years from 1831 to 1841 ; and in Manchester about
12.000; being an increase of 36 per cent. Between 1831
and 1841, half a million new houses were built in England
and Wales.

STEAM CARRIAGE. -Mr. Waller has made two or
three experimental trips with his steam carriage during
the week. On Monday afternoon he steamed along Tyr-
rel-street, Market-street, up Cheapside, and along Man-
ningham-lane. By these trips he has discovered some
trifling defects in the details of the machine, and ascer-
tained that its principle is sound.—Bradford Observer.
LOSSES AT SEA.—On referring to the list of vessels
registered at Montrose at the commencement of the pre-
sent year, we find the shipping of that port stated at 127
vessels, and 16,300 tons. The total losses during the year
already amount to 12-1,725 tons ; say upwards of a
tenth of the gross tonnage of the port.—Montrose Re-
view, Dec.].

AN EXPENSIVE PAUPER.—John Harris, a pauper be-
longing to the parish of Writtle, died in Chelmsford
Union workhouse, on the Ist instant, in his 84th year.
This man had been chargeable to the parish of Writtle,
from his birth, and it is presumed that his average weekly
cost for the whol

?eriod of his life has not been less than
45., amounting in the aggregate, to £837 12s. !—Essex
Herald.

HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—It appears that the amount
already voted, from the year 1835 to 1842, was £438,500,
of which £38,483 was expended in February last. It is
estimated, to complete the buildings, that a further sum
,f £598,424 12s. 9d. will be required. In the return it is
tated that a further expenditure will be wanted for corn-
- 'se landing-places, for providing furniture, fit-
, for the several offices and official residences.
