IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE

The following are extracts from various Manchester jour..
nals of Saturday, all tending to show a revival of trade :
(From the Manchester Times, Anti-Corn-law League paper.)
The almost total cessation of the supplies of yarn and goods
offered in the market. has, of course, produced its natural
result—higher prices ; and though the sudden and unfore-
seen rise has prevented many orders from being executed,
there has been a considerable amount of business done
during the week, especially in the lower qualities of yarns
and printers' cloths. In these goods the advance upon the
prices which could be obtained three weeks ago may be
quoted from 7to 12 per cent. Yarns, which were then sold
at Sid. per lb., have been this week sold at 9d., and prin..
ters' cloths, then sold at 4s. 9d. per piece, have this week
realised ss. C.' 71d.

Jo., and a few pieces have been sold at ss.
In fustians, domestics, &c., the advance has not been so
considerable.

(From the Manchester Advertiser, Chartist.)

This week more cotton has been sold than could be used
were all the mills in full operation, and at a very serious ad-
vance. In the natural course of things, when mills were
standing, and an abundant crop of cotton of good staple an-
ticipated, we should have thought that the price would ma-
terially have receded ; instead of this, we find the buyers
here hurry down to Liverpool, as though a scarcity were ex-
pected, and buy suthcient to last for two or three months
after they begin work. This is indeed playing into the hands
of the enemy, but we are forced to confess that here people
endeavour to sell cheaper than their neighbours; but in Li-
verpool they are too much for us, for there they exercise
every stratagem to keep up the price of the raw material.
Stocks of goods are so exhausted, and everything so un-
settled, that no task can be more difficult than to convey to
our readers the actual state of the goods and yarn marker this
week, for although a considerable amount of business has
been done, much of it is conditionally, i. e., orders
have been given to make when the mills commence working
again ; for with few exceptions, the stocks of printing cloth
and many numbers of yarn are quite cleared out, and buyers
do not find it an easy matter to meet with a large lot of
either cloth or yarn anywhere. We are forced to confess
that we see no prospect of cloth going lower for the next two
months, even should all the mills begin immediately; for
when we consider the depressed prices st which they have
been sold, and calculate the serious reduction of the produc-
tion for the last three months; consider also that it is the
season of the year when printers buy for the winter style
(the stocks are also very light in the printers' hands, having
been afraid to buy more than for their actual wants, in con-
sequence of the weekly depreciation for the last three years;)
and, above all, when we seriously reflect upon the splendid
harvest Providence is about to give us, for we believe it is
now admitted by all that the crops of wheat, oats, barley,
and almost every kind of produce is not only abundant but
rich in quality. Theimmense importance of a glorious har-
vest to the trade of this country, that buys a plentiful
supply of home-grown corn, arid a full crop of potatoes, can
hardly be too highly estimated, for it not only prevents the
gold from leaving us, but it enables the poor man to buy
more food. The new tariff is also a boon, for it will reduce
the price of many things. The money market is also easy.
We, therefore, implore the masters and men to settle their
differences in a friendly spirit, for we think we have good
grounds for expecting a revival in commerce, and a better
trade for some time to come.

We have been requested to quote the prices of good 27-inch
72's in August, 1838, to 1812, with which request we cheer-
fully comply :
August, 1833, 7s. 3d. to 7s. 6d. (good 72'5.)
1839, 7s. Od. to 7s. 3d.
1840, 6s. 3d. to Gs. Gd.
1841, ss. 9d. to Gs. Od.
_ _ 1842, ss. 3d. to ss. Gd.

Prices this week, both for yarn and goods, it is impossible
to give correctly, but cloth may be said to be full 3d. higher
than last week, and manufacturers are taking orders to make
27-inch 66's ss. to ss. 3d., and 72's ss. 6d. to Gs. ; and
many houses will not sell for even 6d. more than the above
quotation : 40-inch cloth is very bad to buy, and orders have
been taken at ls. 3d. advance.

(From the Manchester Chronicle, Conservative.)

STATE OF TRADE.—Considerable advances have been,
this week, obtained for both cloth and yarn, though the sup-
ply, being greatly limited in consequence of the present turn-
out, the business effected has been, comparatively, but of a
limited kind. Nevertheless there is a very healthy feeling
in the market, and where parties are disposed, contracts for
almost an unlimited period may readily be effected. As,
however, the cotton-market has advanced about 20 per cent.
on American sorts, and higher wages are demanded, neither
spinners nor manufacturers are disposed to contract for
future delivery but at prices which seem exorbitantly high
compared with what have recently been obtained.

(From the Manchester Courier, Conservative.)

'We have had another week of interrupted business, in con-
sequence of the turn-out ; nevertheless, large offers have been
made for both goods and yarns, and at considerably advanced
rates. These offers, however, have riot been generally ac-
cepted, because of the great advance in cotton, and because
of the uncertainty as to when the turn-out may finally ter-
minate, more particularly as regards the power-loom weavers
of Staleyhridge and Ashton. The impression also still gains
ground that business will permanently improve, and that a
tide of Conservative prosperity has already set in.
It is difficult to quote prices at present ; we may say, how-
ever, that spinners generally are demanding about a penny
per pound advance on the lowest rates for twist ; whilst for
cloth, say 27-inch sixty-sixes, 9d. to Is.; and on 40-inch six-
ty-sixes, Is. 3d. to Is. Gd. per piece advance on the lowest
rates are readily obtained, and large contracts are offered at
these prices.

Upwards of 100 prisoners from the disturbed districts have
been lodged in York Castle, while the original calendar itself
contains no fewer than 137 prisoners. The trial of the latter
alone will occupy three weeks.
THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—It is with great
regret that we are compelled to announce that this brilliant
ornament of the church has for the last few days been rather
seriously indisposed. His grace is, however, recovering.
He very much amended during Tuesday, and we understand
that his physicians entertain the confident expectation that
his grace will shortly be enabled to resume his important
official functions. The following very satisfactory bulletin
was exhibited yesterday at Lambeth Palace, where inquiries
have again been numerous, especially when it is recollected
that most of the nobility and gentry are absent from town at
this season of the year :—" His grace has passed a very good
night, and is this morning considerably better. Addington
Park, August 24."

ADDINGTON PARK, SIJNDAY AFTERNOON.—The phy-
sicians report that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury
had a good night, but has not been in so favourable a state
during the day, his strength having rather failed since morning.

Our corn speculators have lost all confidence in the weather-
wisdom of Dr. Herschell, as to the chances of the moon
they had, from his rules, calculated that August was to be
anything but " hot and dry !" And so had the gentry of the
" Anti-Corn Law League," but at last they are actually
" burnt " out !

EXTRAORDINARY POISONING OF THREE CHILDREN.—
On Friday last, Mrs. Jameson, the wife of a gardener, re-
siding at No. 4, Jones's-gardens' Bethnal-green, attended
at the London Hospital, in the Mile End-road, with her
three sons—namely, Thomas Jameson, aged ten ; Malcomb,
aged five 1 and Lendsey, aged three—the former being an
out-patient of that institution. While waiting in the hall
the three boys strayed into the grounds belonging to the
building, and which are beautified by various shrubs. After
traversing through the grounds for some distance, they came
to a plant called dog-bean, a species of deadly night shade,
upon which there were a number of ripe berries, and not
knowing their pernicious, qualities, the poor children plucked
off all they could find ripe and ate them, and then returned
to their parent. Their poisonous effect was not perceptible
until 12 o'clock on the same night, when all were seized in
the same way, and they werc removed without loss of time
to the London Hospital, when the cause was quite percepti-
ble. During the whole of yesterday the three sufferers were
closely attended by ,Dr. Gordon and other medical officers of
the hospital, but so serious are the effects of the poison that
but little hope was entertained of their recovery.—Observer.

GAME.—Partridge shooting commences on Thursday next
the Ist of September. As the fields are well cleared of corn,
and birds are abundant in all directions, capital sport is an-
ticipated. Grouse and blackcocks are very plentiful on the
hills, and in the best possible condition, but they are so wild
and strong on the wing, that it is with difficulty they can be
approached; there is consequently much work for the sports-
man, and small result. Grouse are selling in this town at
from 4s. to ss. per brace.
AFFLICTING CASE—A CHILD POISONED BY FLY WATER.
—People cannot be too cautious how they use chemial pre-
parations for the destruction of flies. A case of a very mel-
ancholy nature occurred on Friday, week, in which an interest-
ing child, of only four years old, lost its life through the
drinking of a solution of arsenic, obtained for the purpose of
destroying flies. It appears that a quantity of this solution
had been obtained by a person in the name of Leeming, in
Snow Hill, in this town, and placed on the kitchen dresser;
and that the deceased child, whose name was Samuel Wragg,
took hold of the saucer in which the stuff was placed, and
imbibed a portion of the contents, from the effects of which
he died on Monday last.—Preston Chronicle.

THE TRIAL or NICHOLAS SUISSE.—After the trial of
this individual, which has created so much attention, the
female witnesses assembled at the New Inn Tavern, oppo-
site the Central Criminal Court, in the Old Bailey, amount-
ing to upwards of 20 in number, and agreed upon an address
to Mdlle. Beret!, who took so conspicuous a part, as a
witness, upon the trial. The witnesses subpoenaed on behalf
of Suisse were, with few exceptions, foreigners, and the
address alluded to, of which the following is a copy,
was
written in French :—" New Inn, Old Bailey, Aoguat 27,

and friends of M. Suisse, to assure you that we shall ever

provinces of the British empire, arising from official station
or wealth. The upper class, which at home would almost
without exception be the middle class, consists of the clergy,

THE CHRISTIAN WARFARE AND TRIUMPH.

There is a warfare man is doomed to wage
'Gainst direful foes,—a multitudinous host,
Malignant, subtle, fierce, implacable,
'Gainst odds, how fearful ! principalities,
And heaven-born powers, in number numberless,
And ift their nature, and the scale of being,
Far, far above the earth-born creature, man :
And he, their chief, all but omnipotent,
And seems übiquitous,—roaming the earth
Invisible, on murderous deeds intent,
Like to a lion greedy of his prey,
Or like a ravening wolf, that darkly prowls
With stealthy pace, or leaps into the fold,
Or tiger fell, that sports with agony,
Cruel as death, insatiate as the grave,
In whom all fiendish hell-born passions rage,
But most revenge and hate, the twin-born brood
Of mad despair, and deathless as their sire.
Yet man, tho' fallen (and therefore weak and frail)
Fallen, like his foes too, from his first estate, •
And with innumerous evils compassed round,
And inbred foes as numerous,—traitors foul,—
Fall'n, yet renewed with more than mortal strength,
An earthen vessel filled with power divine,—
A mortal strengthened with the strength of God,—
He fights the goodly fight of faith, till death,
Comes off victorious, more than conqueror
O'er all his enemies,—then lays aside
His helmet, shield, and spear (his warfare o'er)
His borrowed panoply of heavenly proof,
And, wearied out with conflict, sighs for rest,
Whilst Death, a kind and friendly servitor,
With gentle hand strips off his mortal weeds,
That he may sleep in peace a little while,
In Hades' dark domain, until the dawn
Of that blest day, when, at the trumpet's sound,
Whose blast shall wake the dead, he shall awake
And rise again, renewed with god-like strength,
And put on robes of immortality,
And on his head a pure celestial crown,
A royal diadem ; the victor's prize ;
And hail the prophet's glorious boast fulfilled,
" 0 grave ! where is thy victory ? 0 death !
Where is thv sting ?" and be henceforth, for aye,
A king and -priest of God.—the high compeer
Of holy angels, if not more exalt,
As heir of God, joint-heir with Christ, his Lord,
To share his glorious reign,—his mundane reign
Of righteousness, and peace, and joy, and love :
Wheu God, Immanuel, shall dwell with man,
And man with God,—the blest inhabitant
Of that fair city, new Jerusalem,
Doomed to descend from God,—from heaven to earth,
To earth renewed, and paradise restored,—
A kingdom incorruptible and pure,
That fadeth not away,—blest heritage !
Prepared before the world's foundation was,
Won from the foul usurper's tyrant thrall
By Him, ordained to bruise the serpent's head,
The woman's seed, Messiah, David's son,
And David's Lord ; and who, on David's throne,
Shall reign the King of kings, and Lord of lot ds,
Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God,
The Prince of Peace, whose blest millennial reign
Shall be the foretaste, earnest, pledge, and seal,
Of man's eternal heritage,—the dawn
That ushers in the Everlasting age
Of heavenly joy, and beatific bliss ;
When (all his enemies subdued) the Son
Shall render up the kingdom unto God,
That God the Father may be all in all.
Douglas, May 14, 1842.

A MOTHER'S EVENING THOUGHTS.

BY MRS. SIGOURNEY.

0, homefelt joys, so 'dear, so sweet,
My clear wood fire beside,
My baby creeping at my feet,
Who oft with glance of pride
Looks back elate and pleased to show
How fast his tiny limbs can go.
And closely seated by my side,
My little daughter fair,
Whose doll upon her knee doth ride,
Essays a matron's care ;
While many a lesson, half severe,
With kisses mixed, must Dolly hear.

There lie my volumes closed and still,
Those chosen friends of old ;
My pen, regardless of my will.
Lurks in its bronzed hold ;
High joys they gave ; but not so dear
As those that gild my fireside here.
Where harp and viol carol sweet,
'Mid youth's unfolding hours,
And gladness wings the dancer's feet,
That seem to tread on flowers,
I've shared the cup ; it sparkled clear ;
'Twas foam ; the precious draught is here.
I've trod the lofty halls, where dwell
The noblest of our land;
And met, though humble was my cell,
Warm smile and greeting hail(' ;
Yet doth she feel a thrill more blest,
Who lulls her infant on her breast.

Strong words of praise, such words as gird
To high ambition's deed,
The impulse of my mind have stirred,
Though still unearned their meed ;
But what of these? they fleet away,
Like mist before affection's ray.

Though many a priceless gem of bliss •
Hath made my pathway fair,
Yet I have known no joy like this,
A mother's nursing care,
To mark, when stars of midnight shine,
My infant's bright eye fixed on mine.
Might woman win earth's richest rose,
Yet miss that 'wild-flower zest,
Which by the lowly cradle grows,
'Twere but a loss at best
Pass on, 0 world,ln all thy pride,
I've made my choice, and here abide.
Even she, who shines with beauty's ray,
By fashion's throng carest,
If from that pomp she turn away,
And build her shelter d nest,
And hoard the jewels of the heart,
Like Mary finds the better part.
—American Paper.

LITERARY NOTICES.

Abbotiford Edition of Waverley, Nos. 8 and 9. Robert
Cadell, Edinburgh ; Houlston and Stoneman, London.
We have received Nos. 8 and 9 of this splendidly illus-
trated edition, and can conscientiously state that it improves
as the publication progresses. The present numbers contain
a portion of Guy Mannering ; and, in addition to the beau-
tiful steel engravings which accompany each number, the
woodcuts in each are of the highest class of excellence. In
particular we may mention the portraitures of Dominie
Sampson, Meg Merrilies, and Dirk Hatteraick, which bring
these well-known characters before us just as we have pic-
tured them in our mind's eye, or, rather, as the great magi-
cian has painted them for us. The golfing scene brings to
our mind for the first time a vivid picture of an amusement
which we have hitherto only imagined. The gem, however,
is contained in the last number, and consists of the inimitable
representation of Counsellor Pleydell seated at his game of
high jinks, surrounded by his learned subjects, with the im-
mortal Dandie Dinmont, in boots, spurs, whip and all, a
delighted spectator of the wondrous scene. The figure of
the Liddlesdale Yeoman alone is worth the price of the
number.

The New Statistical Account of Scotland. Blackwood and

Sons, Edinburgh and London.

We received No. XXXVIII. of this excellent work, con-
taining the conclusion of Banff, and part of the county of
Aberdeen. The information of every parish, its topography,
natural productions, agricultural and other resources ; the
number, customs, and condition of its inhabitants, and its
civil history, its eminent men, its objects of antiquity or in-
terest, and its capabilities of improvement, forms a body of
information that cannot but be highly valuable to all who
desire to acquaint themselves with the characteristics of
" the Land of Cakes." The articles are written by gentle-
men (chiefly clergymen) of education, and evident experience
and research in their several localities, and the arrangement
under distinct heads is all that can be wished for reference;
while at the same time the work so abounds with interesting
historical lore, that it may be taken up at any time and
Perused with amusement as well as instruction. Now that a
complete and minutely defined survey, on a large scale, of
Great Britain in counties is in progress, at the instance of
the government, this work becomes more valuable, as it will
forma suitable accompaniment to the splendid and accurate
maps 'which will, ere long, be laid before the public. As a

DREADFUL DEATH FROM SWALLOWING VITRIOLIC
jthe
7n the
in
th
ACID.—On Friday one of the mechanics employed
moulding department of Woolwich Dockyard died
Marine Hospital, inconsequence of the extensive internal
injuries he received by swallowing a large quantity of
i vitri-
olice acid. The• deceased, it appears, was at work n tn
workshops of the moulding department, and, becoming
thirsty, he took up a mug containing that destructive liquid,
conceiving it to be spring water, and took a draught, . which
burnt his mouth and throat in a dreadful manner. He was
•conveyed to the hospital, where every attention was paid,
but after lingering for nearly 48 hours he expired, having
suffered the greatest agonies. It appears the acid is an arti-
cle frequently required in the work. The deceased, whose
name was Edward Nicholson, was a young man only 25
years of age, and had but recently been married.—London

MIRCELL,AYE',OUS,

Mr. nargreayss, of Leeds, has given a munificent done,
tion of £lOOO towards liquidating the debt of the Wesleyan
Missionary Society.—Leeds Times.

It is stated as a fact, that the first observation the Duko of
Wellington made, when fairly put on motion on the Liver-
pool and Manchester Railway, at its first opening, waz to
this effect :—" This will be most efficient for the conveyance
of troops."
The Berkshire Chronicle states, that at a vestry meeting
of the parish of Tilehurst, held on Thursday week, it was re-
solved to raise the assessment of the Great Western Railway
from £3OO to about £lOOO per mile. There are two miles of
the line in that parish.

Mr. Pitt, on one occasion when some measures of his were
thought by the higher aristocracy to be prejudicial to their
interest, as Sir Robert Peel's are now viewed by certain
members of that body, is reported to have said, that he con-
sidered the first duty of government was to provide an ample
supply of food for the people.
LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—About six o'clock on Thursday
evening three young men from Arundel left the harbour at
Littlehampton, in a small galley, with the intention of going
for a night's cruise as far as the Owers Light, off Bognor, or
to the Isle of Wight, promising to write to their friends in
the event of their reaching the island. Sunday arriving
without any intelligence from,the party, serious apprehensions
were entertained for their safety, more especially as a sudden
squall, resembling a whirlwind, and lasting only a few mi-
nutes, had been felt along the coast, accompanied by a change
of the wind from south-east to south-west. A few minutes
after the change the boat was discovered by the crew of the
Owers, half a mile distant, bnt it was not afterwards seen.
Subsequently, however, the boat's rudder, stern-sheets, and
oars, a basket, and hat, identified as belonging to the party,
were picked up, and the conclusion is that the boat was cap-
sized, and the three young men met with a watery grave.
The unfortunate gentlemen were a Mr. Carter, of a respec-
table family in Norfolk, articled to Mr. Duke, solicitor, of
Arundel; Mr. Edward Constable, aged 20, son of a brewer
at Arundel ; and a young man named Clear, also connected
with Constable's brewery.

WINDSOR CASTLE.—PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT THE
INTRUSION OF STRANGERS.—Since the late mysterious en-
trance effected into the interior of Windsor Castle, by the
man Quested, on the night of Monday week, such precau-
tions have been determined upon and carried into effect as
will effectually prevent, for the future, the possibility of the
privacy of the Sovereign being invaded by the intrusion of
unknown and suspicious characters. The police, who are
stationed at the only entrance which it is possible for a
stranger to pass through, and who formerly went on for
night duty at eleven o'clock, and left at six in the morning,
now commence their duties several hours earlier in the even-
ing and remain until eight o'clock the next morning, from
which hour the usual porters upon the Royal establishment
are in constant attendance throughout the day, and until late
in the evening. It is to be hoped that the great vigilance
now exercised by the respective officials connected with the
department in which they are engaged, will be, the means of
frustrating any further attempts (should they be made) to
intrude into the interior of the Castle to the great annoyance
of every one concerned with the Royal Household.

AWFUL THUNDER-STORM.—COUNTY OF LOUTH.—On
Friday last, at six o'clock, as the family of Mr. Piers Murphy,
himself, his mother, sister, and three children, one of whom
was Miss Rose Murphy, of Newry, at present on a visit
there, were sitting at tea in a small parlour at the western
end of his house, the neighbourhood was visited with a vio-
lent thunder-storm ; a flash or ball of fire descended through
the chimney, splitting a great part of the gable wall and
chimney, breaking through the bed-room, and literally ex-
ploding in the apartment where the family were assembled—
breaking two large framed pictures, shivering the chimney-
piece to atoms, damaging the ceiling and room plastering in
different places, perforating the clock-case in three different
parts, and, most singular, breaking the cups and saucers on
the table were the parties were sitting. The room was bril-
liantly lighted with flame—breaking the window-frames,
glass, &c., into atoms, and wreaking its awful fury on the
individuals present. The parties endeavoured to make their
escape, but Mr. Murphy (who, with his mother, had been
previously struck and scorched most dreadfully), having
recollected that one of the children present was lying on the
floor, returned, and found it to be his cousin, Miss Murphy,
who had been struck by a piece of the shattered chimney-
piece, and lay prostrate. He brought her to the open air,
when, after the lapse of fifteen minutes, she partially re-
covered, and is now doing well. Nothing but the hand of
Divine Providence can account for the miraculous escape of
the inmates, and is attributed (in the words of many poor
and starving persons) to the charitable generosity of Miss
Murphy. Two cows and a horse have been killed within a
few perches of Mr. Murphy's. A woman named Byrne is
lying dangerously ill from the same effect. A dog belonging
to Mr. Owen Byrne, of Lanett, was also killed on the spot.

AWFUL VISITATION.—THE CROPS.—On Friday, the
19th instant, the neighbourhood of thelsland for about three
miles round was visited by the most dreadful thunder-storm
ever recollected by the oldest inhabitant. About two o'clock
in the afternoon, the fine blue sky, which wore such a pleas-
ing aspect up to that moment, suddenly became dark and
cloudy—so dark that one could scarcely discern his own hand.
The most terrific peals of thunder, accompanied by vivid
flashes of lightning and tremendous hailstones, ensued, the
latter as large as pigeons' eggs. This was followed by a
waterspout, as if the cataracts of heaven had opened, which
lasted for two hours and a half, leaving a flood that carried
away all before it. The destruction committed on the corn
crops fit for the sickle is really heartrending ; the fine fields
of corn, particularly oats, are literally thrashed out of the
ear. Even green oats did not escape. There was one field
of oats of fifty acres, belonging to Mr. Bolton, which was
fit to cut, and by far more than half of which is lost ; indeed,
every field where the shower fell has suffered incalculably.
From inquiries we have made since the above particulars
reached us, we are happy to say that no injury has been sus-
tained by the crops except. in the neighbourhood of the
Island ; but it is melancholy to reflect on the privations
which this awful visitation must impose on the poorer class
of sufferers in that district. The accounts from all other
parts of the country are of the most cheering character.—

PRESENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.
—A very beautiful Arabian mare (the only one which has
been permitted to leave the country for many years past, and
which arrived in England a few days since) has just been
presented to His Royal Highness Prince Albert, at Windsor,
from the English Consul at Morocco. The mare. which for
symmetry may almost be said to be unequalled, is of a dark
gray colour, standing 15 hands high, and not more than two
years old, and of the purest Arab blood. It reached Windsor
by the Great Western Railway from town a day or two since,
and immediately upon its arrival it was taken to the quad-
rangle, where it was seen by the Queen and the Prince, and
several of the members of the Royal household, by whom it
was greatly admired. Its mane has been cut previously to
its leavieg Morocco (a plan adopted in that country with
respect to all mares bred there), and the only" drawback"
,
to its beauty and general appearance is that of a hog-mane ;"
but it is expected that in a few months, with the care and
attention which will be bestowed upon it, this will be reme-
died by means of the usual training which it will be subjected
to. The mare, which is now at the Royal Mews, Windsor,
will ultimately be placed in the paddocks at Cumberland-
lodge, under the care of Mr. Qnarton, His Royal Highness's
stud-groom, for the purpose of raising a stock in this country
from the purest blood of Arabia.
DEATH OF LIEUT.-GEN. LORD VIVIAN, LATE MAS-
TER-GENERAL OF THE ORDNANCE.—lntelligence was
received last night, which caused the deepest regret in the
garrison at Woolwich, that Lieut.-Gen. the Right Hon.
Richard Hussey Lord Vivian had died in Germany. This
brave and gallant officer, on being appointed Master-Gen.
of the Ordnance, on the 19th of May, 1835, performed the
duties of his office with great zeal and ability, and by his
urbanity, kindness, and attention to all was universally
looked upon as the officers' and soldiers' friend. His lord-
ship continued master-general until the accession of the
present government to power, in September, 1841, when he
retired, having previously been raised to the peerage by the
government of which he was, a member. Lord Vivian was
born on the 28th of July, 1775, and entered the army as an
ensign on the 31st July, 1793 ; promoted to lieut. 20th of
Oct., 1793 ; captain, 7th of May, 1794 ; major, 9th of March,
1803 ; lieutenant-colonel, 28th of September, 1804 ; colonel,
20th of February, 1812; major-general, 4th of June, 1814;
and lieutenant-general, 22d of July, 1830. The lieutenant-
general served in Flanders and Holland, under the Duke of
York from June, 1794, until the return of the army in 1795.
He was present at the sortie from Nuneguen, and was left
with a picquet of the 28th regiment, in conjunction with
other picquets, to hold it after the retreat of the army. He
was present in the affair of Geldermalsen, in which his regi-
ment (the 28th) suffered severely, and in other skirmishes.
His lordship was also present in all the different battles
which took place during the expedition to the Helder, ex-
cepting in the landing. Commanded the 7th hussars in the
campaign under Sir John Moore in 1808 and 1809. Com-
manded a brigade of cavalry in the Peninsula from Sept.
1813, until the return of the army ; including the battles of
Ortbes, Nive, and Toulouse. He was severely wounded in
carrying the bridge of Croix d'Orade, near Toulouse, and
served at .the battle of Waterloo. Lord Vivian received a
medal and one clasp for Sahagun, and Benevente, and Ortbes.
His lordship's death causes a vacancy in the Ist dragoons,
of which regiment he was colonel.
A crime, attended with an exhibition of depravity and
barbarity but rarely equalled, engaged the attention of the
Court of Assizes for the Gard. held at Nismes, during one of
its recent sittings. Etienne Perrier, a man 55 years of age,
was brought before it to be tried for the murder of his wife,
under the following circumstances. It appeared from the
evidence, that at the end of January last, Jane Perrier, the
deceased, was discharged from the central prison of Mont-
pellier, where she bad undergone confinement during a cer-
tain period for a theft of which she had been convicted.
She brought away with her the petty sum of 40 francs only,
and yet the possession of this was believed to have been the
exciting cause of her death. On Wednesday, the 2d February
last, this woman and her husband came to occupy a room
in the house of the widow Durand, in the rue Payee, at
Nismes, and both were seen entering it together about seven
o'clock in the evening of the next day, but from that hour
the woman was never more beheld alive. On the Saturday
following, Madame Durand went to the well to draw water,
but was prevented by some solid body lying at the bottom.
She obtained the assistance of some persons with !tong poles
having hooks at the end, and by means of these it was soon
ascertained that the impediment was a dead body. The
commissary of police being sent for, in his presence it was
raised, and ascertained to be the corpse of a female, but so
mutilated that she could not at once be identified. The
head was fractured, the throat cut, and the face so disfigured
that the features could not be recognised. All the lodgers
and other inhabitants of the house were summoned round
the magistrate, and all appeared except Perrier and his wife.
On proceeding to their apartment, the door was found shut,
but the key was outside. On entering the room, the follow-
ing evidence of crime, under the most savage deliberation,
was disclosed. The bed showed that one person had slept
in it. It had no marks of violence, but there was a stain of
blood on the bolster, which indicated that some victim had
been struck in sleep. A mass of clotted blood was found
near a chair, and behind the door a marmite (an earthen
cooking-vessel) filled with blood was discovered. In ano-
ther part was seen a pair of linen pantaloons, known to be-
long to Perrier, still exhibiting blood-stains, though endea-
yours had evidently been made to wash them out. From
these and other features, it was impossible to come to any
her conclusion than that, when he had rendered his wife
senseless by the blows inflicted upon her, he had taken her
out of toe bed and deliberately placed her head between his
clotted gore, knees and cut her throat with a knife, which he left near the
of the murder.quentlY

MIND YOUR TONGUES.—Mr. Grove, of the Strafford
Arms Inn, Stainbro', plucked an apple in his garden, on
Wednesday last, which, on examination, was found to con-
tain in the interior, seventy wasps.

AN EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—To show the state of un-
certainty that prevails in the wine trade, in reference to a
remission of duty on Port wine, the London bill of entry of
Friday morning was destitute of this article as having been
duty-paid--a circumstance unprecedented in the trade.
TROPHIES OF WAR BROUGHT FROM CHINA.—The ship
Wellesley, recently arrived at Plymouth from China, has
brought home the following trophies, captured by the Royal
marines in that country. A yellow banner„ imperial colours,
captured in the upper fort of Chuenpee in January, 1841, the
inscription in Chinese characters, " Flag of the Tower of
Cha-keo." A large green flag with golden dragon, taken by
the battalion at the assault of the citadelof Chinae, in October,
1811 ; a smaller and imperial colour, yellow and gold dragon,
taken at the capture of Ningpo-foo in the same month. A
battle-axe and long-handled sword, taken from the Chinese
in August, at Golongsoo, from a strong battery of 16 guns,
which the marines took at the point of the bayonet.
END OF MR. O'CONNELL'S MAYORALTY.—Mr. O'Con-
nell has announced that he does not again assume the office
of Lord Mayor; and thus these sanguine beings who calcu-
lated so complacently on transferring the burtben of his
_maintenance from his shoulders to those of the citizens of
Dublin, have that cup of consolation dashed from their lips
for the present. He assigns as his reason the impropriety
of holding civic office while so exclusively engaged in politi-
cal agitation as he says he intends henceforth to be. We
give him every credit for assigning a sufficient reason, if it
be the true one : but the truth, we have no doubt, is, that
the several Lord Mayors expectant have kicked against the
proposal of keeping him perpetually in office, and that he
finds it safer to retire with a good grace than to risk a more
summary ejection. Be it, as it may, he goes to renew an
agitation, the cessation of which, he admits, has been at-
tended by a decided advantage to the country.—Dublin

A LIGHT FOR ALL NATIONS.—(TO the Editor of the
Standard.)—Caisson, Goodwin Sands, August 16.—Sir, I
am to inform you and the public, that at present the caisson
is sunk below the sands 16 feet at low-watermark, and that
the whole portion is now 42 feet high, being nine feet above
high water, and that in the course of next week I hope to
add 10 feet more, with every prospect •of speedily finding a
foundation suitable fur the base of such an undertaking.
There has rarely been any project, however important and
beneficial, but the projetors have met with opposition; and
unfortunately, in my case there has been no exception ; for,
notwithstanding the favourable progress of the work (and
when it is considered that the caisson weighs 150 tons, and
is 30 feet in diameter, it has been equal to my most sanguine
expectation), there have been persons in the vicinity of Deal
and Walmer diligently engaged in promulgating the most
absurd and unfounded rumours, but the best refutation of
their malicious misrepresentations is the advance made to
the completion of the object. I lave the honour to be, &c.,

THE ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CONSIIMERS.—The com-
parative situation of the English and American consumer
under their tariff may be well illustrated by the following
document, put in by Mr. Payne as an appendix to his speech :
—" In order to show to those who may read my speech that
I have not over=estimated the burdens of a tariff, I subjoin a
table shewing the cost of various articles of clothing in Lon-
don, and the price of the same articles in America ; also the
advertisement of a tailor in London, with the same articles
priced by one of the best and most respectable merchant
tailors in the city of Washington. To his prices 25 per cent.
should be added, to equal the price in Alabama."

The violence of the storm of rain which visited the metro-
polis, and more especially the northern districts, on Thurs-
day evening, has, probably, seldom been equalled. Its du-
ration was, fortunately, very brief, or the most serious in-
convenience would have resulted. Many of the streets and
roads were completely flooded, and presented the appearance
of a river. In various parts of Islington, Highgate, and
Hampstead, the flood was excessive,,and the water poured
into the kitchens and cellars, inundating them to the depth
of five and six feet. Several fire-engines were employed, on
the subsidence of the storm, to clear the houses of the water.
Much damage has been done to vegetation, and the fields in
the vicinity of the metropolis, which were previously parched
up, were covered yesterday with standing pools of water.—

MELANCHOLY SUICIDES.—Last Monday morninga young
man, named James Thompson, (said to be assumed,) private
in the 6th Carbineers, which arrived in this town on Friday
last, put a period to his existence by blowing out his brains.
The facts connected with the melancholy transaction are as
follow :—Deceased and his companion, named John Yonng,
slept together on the night previous, and both were perfectly
sober when retiring to rest. About four o'clock in the morn-
ing, Young arose and left deceased in bed, and about six
o'clock returned to awaken him. He refused to get up,
stating that he was very unwell. The stable call having been
sounded, he did not appear at his post, and on Serjeant Quin
proceeding to inquire the cause of his delay, he gave the
same excuse. Shortly after, another soldier entered de-
ceased's room and, observing some marks of blood on the
floor, suspected that all was not right, and returned to the
yard for another man, to came and look at Thompson.
They found the unfortunate young man lying on his bed
quite dead. On his breast lay his carbine, on the trigger of
which rested his finger. The muzzle of the carbine was placed
in his mouth, and in that position it was thought the poor
suicide had terminated his existence. The ball was discharged
into his mouth, passed through his head, and entered the wall
on the opposite side of the room, where it was found. His
face was burst open by the shot, and presented a very shocking
and mutilated appearance. Deceased was a young man, aged
22 years, and bore a most excellent character. The only cause
which we have heard assigned for the rash and premeditated
act was, that deceased, who is said to be a native of Bel-
fast, applied to some of his friends, shortly after his arrival,
to purchase his discharge, as he wished to quit the service.
His friends refused to comply with his request, and he was
heard afterwards to say that he would never trouble them
again. ANOTHER—A dissenting clergyman, named John
Houston, from Bangor, committed suicide on Saturday
morning last, in a lodging-house in North-street, by swal-
lowing a quantity of laudanum, which caused almost instan-
taneous death. On the circumstance having been disco-
vered, the unfortunate man was removed to the hospital,
where every assistance that medical skill could devise was
resorted to, but without success, and after lingering for a
short time, died. An inquiry was held on Monday, at the
police-office, before the sitting magistrates, when, among
other witnesses, the wife of the deceased was examined. She
stated that for some time past her husband was very dull in
spirits, and that, on the morning he left home (Tuesday.
week), she did not consider him right in his mind ; be com-
plained of being in ill health, and had told her to get him
into an asylum. She further stated that he belonged to the
Independent body, and had, during the last three years,
been employed in preaching. Deceasad was about thirty-six
years of age, and, according to his wife's acknowledgment,
was given to dissipated habits. A. THIRD—On Sunday
morning last, a man, named John • M`Nealy, drowned him-
self in the Lagan, during, as it is thought, a fit of temporary
insanity. A FOURTH—On Monday evening, about nine
o'clock, a man, named Anthony Hickson, was brought to the
police-office, charged with having attempted to drown him-
self at Dunbar's Dock.—Belfast Vindicator.

THE QUEEN IN THE HIGHLANDS.—The last Sovereign
that visited the Highlands of Scotland was also a Queen—the
beautiful and unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots. The Royal
journey was made about the same time of the year as that
proposed by Queen Victoria; but Mary rode on horseback.
Roads there were none ; and no wheeled carriage was seen
north of Perth before 1715. Charles the Second, when in
Scotland, during the Commonwealth, was crowned at Scone,
on New Year's-day, 1651; but while the sceptre was held by
the more vigorous and able hand of Cromwell, Charles is
scarcely entitled. to the honours of monarchy ; and he does
not seem to have made any perambulation of our Highland
district. The Scottish Queen left Stirling on the 18th of
August, (old style,) in the year 1562, and took nine days in
travelling to Aberdeen. The accommodations could not have
been princely, for the two secretaries—Randolph and Mait-
land—who accompanied Mary had to sleep together in the
same bed ! From Aberdeen the Queen proceeded to Inver-
ness, and the room then occupied as her parlour is now the
counting-room or office of Mr. Ferguson, wine-merchant.
The house has since been completely modernized in ap-
pearance—the old turnpike-stair and projecting balcony,
with the capacious kitchen, are removed.—lnverrias Courier.
SINGULAR RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE.—A man named Wiley
Freeman, aged 48, killed his wife at Edgefield, S.C, with his ,
rifle, June 10, 1837. He was raised in Edgefield, South
Carolina, and was married at the early age of 21 or 22 years.
His wife he had known from early infancy—they went to
school together, and together participated in the village sports.
Their union seemed to be such a one as would insure per-
petual happiness—undying love. After living together 22
years, and having 11 children, he took to drink, and became
jealous of her, and killed her. He fled Alabama, was taken,
and imprisoned in the jail in Edgefield. He escaped, went
through Tennessee and Mississippi to New Orleans, and
worked on the Nashville Railroad. Thence he went to Texas
—thence travelled with a caravan to Mexico ; returned to
New Orleans, passed on through the State, and was arrested
in the parish of Rapides, July 15, 1842, more' than five years
after the murder. Now we come to the singular retributive
justice in the case. At the time that Freeman murdered his
wife she had an only brother, named John Crawford, residing
in the State of Alma, some five hundred miles' distant
from Edgefield. Having heard of the fatal affair, and of
Freeman's escape from prison, he left his home resolved to
pursue him unto death, and avenge a sister's blood. He
followed in his wake in Texas and elsewhere ; but never could
be lay his eyes on him. After a four years' crusade of this
kind—and a holy one it was—he became broken in spirit and
bankrupt in means, and with a view of recruiting both he
offered his services to Mr. Tanner, of Rapides, as an assistant
overseer, and in this capacity he was when a providential
