The principle of this Company is that of attaching all
Importers and Exporters, by a Division of the Profits among
them, after payment of the Dividends, thus creating a com-
munity of Interests between the Shippers and Shareholders,
a principle which will best guarantee to its Proprietors a
certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
tions of Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
Establishment of first-class Steamers,
and the lowest rate of
freight compatible with due attention
to their maintenance.

MISCELLANEOt

The king of Bavaria has been received by the pope, and
all his suite were admitted to kiss his slipper.
The winner of the Oaks at Epsom has been named " Our
Nell."

It is intended to hold a musical festival at Newcastle-upon-
Tyne in the course of the approaching autumn.
There has been a cardinal of every nation except an Irish
one ; perhaps lest he should encroach upon the authority of
the pope—in making bulls.
BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.—We understand that
it is intended to' open the railway to Taunton on Monday,
the 27th instant.

A letter from Seville states that the distress of the nuns in
that place is so great that, in order to keep them from
starving, a benefit has been given for them at the theatre.
The Northern Whig states that the " French" cambric
pocket-handkerchiefs, so generally worn in England, are,
nearly all, the produce of Irish looms.
The town council of Perth has voted the sum of £5OO to-
wards the establishment of the Episcopal College proposed
to be erected near that place.
BUXTON.—We learn that at this delightful watering place
it is intended to revive with great splendour the ancient cus-
tom of font or well dressing, on Midsummer Day, the 24th
instant, which is likely to prove very attractive to visiters.

A subscription for the erection of a monument to Sir
Sidney Smith, in the cemetery of Pere La Chaise, is now in
progress among the British residents in Paris. Lord Cowley's
name stands at the head of the list.
In several large dairy establishments in the neighbourhood
of Birmingham, the cows are fed and thrive well upon gorse,
which is crushed for this purpose into pulp by a small steam

engine

PRINTING.—CharIes the Second's parliament passed an
act, that only twenty printers should practise their art in the
kingdom. About six shillings current was paid for one and
a half hour's reading in 1685.
Loss OF LIFE BY BATHING.—Last week, 17 persons were
drowned while bathing in the river Thames, between London
Bridge and Battersea, besides many others below the bridge
and in the canals. Since last Sunday, 8 more have perished.
—Standard, Wednesday.

A terrific hurricane burst upon Brest on the 9th instant,
which caused much injury. Heavy claps of thunder were
followed by a fall of enormous hailstones, which broke the
greater part of the windows in the town. Some persons were
killed and many severely wounded.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE
.20

Supplies accumulate ; and the demand for Butter not at all com-
mensurate ;—prices are fully 2s per cwt. lower. Prime Carlow and
K4nny has been sold at ids to sOs. ; and such is the capricious
temper of the trade at the present moment, that we should not be
surprised to hear of much less money being submitted to. Nothing
at all doing in the Provision market. Bacon continues to be an
object of fair demand, and our last quotations are fully supported.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET. JUNE 18.
Another week o! dry, hot weather has somewhat increased the
inquiry for Beans and Pease both free and in bond, and on the
latter an advance of is to 2s per quarter has been realised. With
this exception the trade has been flat ; the business done being in
a retail way, for the supply of local consumption, at prices rather
declining from those of our last report. At this dayls market there
is a scanty show of English Wheat, and good samples support the
value of our last, as also do select qualities of foreign; but any
thing under this standard may be brought on rather lower terms,
Flour meets a limited sale ; for best English we do not alter our
quotations ; States and Canadian arc 6d per barrel cheaper. nice
of Oats and Oatmeal are merely nominal, and there is scarce an
inquiry for either. Upon the former, however, an abatement of Id
per bushel, and on the latter 6d to is per load would be submitted
to. Beans and Pease steady at fully last week's rates. Malt slow
of sale, but firm in value.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. JUNE 17.
The demand to-day has been very moderate, not exceeding
3000 bales. The sales of the week amount to 20,890 bales, of
which 3200 are for export, and 6000 to speculators, leaving
only about 12,000 for the trade, whose purchases are confined
to their immediate wants. Prices of the lower classes about
id dearer in the fortnight ; other descriptions without change

COTTON MARKET, JUNE 20.
It is almost impossible to deseribe the paralysed state of trade
Our Cotton Market opened this morning with a very moderate in
quiry from consumers ; a few exporters were also in the market
and we estimate the amount of business at 3,500 bales, chiefly it
American descriptions; 500 to export prices remain steady, an;
much on a par with what was doing a fortnight since.

AN ENGLISH COTTAGE

Beside a lane, diverging from a wood,
Where tall tree-tops o'er-roord the grassy way,
And, sloping down to face the sonthern ray,
Before the door a well-stock'd garden lay ;
Clean-weeded beds by winding walks outspread,
Where household roots were ripening day by day,
delicious perfume shed,
low, arch'd closely overhead

fruit-trees bendir

All round the place a look of comfort beam'd,
True English comfort, homely, calm, and sweet !
The very trees, amid their stillness. seern'd
With quiet joy their leafy friends to meet,
And on the roses smiled beside their feet ;
The shaded lane, the soft and balmy air,
The breath of flowers new-waked the morn to greet ;
All seem'd so pure so innocent, and fair,
That in such scenes as these man never need despair.

Along the walls sweet-scented creepers hung,
Nail'd here and there, their fragile stems to stay ;
And after rain the gtntle breezes flung
Such floating fragrance far across the way,
As lured the bees from distant fields to stray ;
A rustic porch, with straggling woodbine dress'd,
And blooming roses made the cottage gay ;
While near at hand, the plum-tree's welcome guest,
Three summers, undisturb'd, a thrush hath built her nest

In two small plots, with border-box hemm'd round,
Rare healing plants and choicest pot-herbs grew,
The garden balm, 'mid village dames renown'd ;
And fragrant thyme, its rich aroma threw
O'er mint and white-leaved sage, and bitter rne.
Not far from these the straw-thatch'd bee-hive stood,
Where in and out, all day incessant flew
The labouring bees so bent on public good
That idlers none disgraced that busy neighbourhood.

PEACE

She dwells alone, in amber skies,
The Spirit I love best ;
And the celestial harmonies
Are centered in her breast.
Her eye is thought, her breast is song,
And light and hope her wings ;
And man would think his life too long
But for the rest she brings.

She leaves her home when morning first
Awakes the early lark ;
Ere her more dazzling beauties burst
Her garments deep and dark ;
She comes upon the track of night,
To bless the crystal dew,
And sheds around a soft delight,
That lasts the long day through.

And when, at evening, twilight dims
The landscape, late so fair,
Invisible but blythe she skims
Her native fields of air ;
She wakes the birds in hedge and wood,
She wakes the human soul—
She soothes the sad, and cheers the good,
All onward to their goal.

I love this spirit, free and fair,
More than all things beside,
For she bespeaks our Maker's care
Of this creation wide ;
And oft, at midnight, when the sky
Is studded all with gold,
She lends the soul a harmony
That never could be told.

G. E. returns his sincere thanks to his Friends and the

late Premises, and respeetfully invites their attention to his
superior style of HAIR CUTTING and DRESSING,

head with tenacity and security, they are perfectly free from
any disagreeable pressure, or any unpleasant feel,
The Genuine RESTORATIVE BALSAM, for the Growth

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT

The inquiry from the trade has been limited, but as speculators
and exporters have bought rather freely, the total sales have been
to a fair extent. The accounts from Manchester, being of a more
unfavourable nature than was anticipated, have caused a heaviness
in the market, and prices of the middling and inferior descriptions

of American are -fr ier lb lower, whilst all other kinds remain with-
out alteration. 5,500 American have been taken on speculation,
and 3,200 American and 360 Surat for export.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1842-06-21

STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c

Our Cotton Market, during the past week, has been of an
uninteresting character, and prices, although tending down-
wards, have sustained little alteration. The sales have
amounted to 20,890 bales, fully one-fourth of which have
been taken on speculation. On Saturday 3500 bales were
sold, and yesterday the same amount, in a market completely

spiritless, yet firm as to prices.
From the Manufacturing Districts the accounts are not
improved. The tariff, however, being out of danger, will, it.
is thought, tend to give a stimulus to business. There is a
prospect, too, that, from the improvement taking place in
the American markets, the proposed increase of the duties
levied upon British imports by the government of America,
will not take place. If this be so, and the duty of 20 per
cent., ad valorem, be permitted to come into operation,
there is no doubt that a good business will shortly be done
to that country. We cannot, however, look for any imme-
diate stimulus to trade from any foreign quarter.

ITAVE to introduce to the notice of the Public their Stock
of MASDEU, a Wine which has attained great cele-
brity in the Metropolis, but has hitherto been scarcely heard
of elsewhere. It is a French Red \\Tine, with very much the
characteristics of Port, in point of fulness and delicacy of
flavour, and can be confidently recommended as peculiarly
suitable to the taste of the present time.

AN ENGLISH COTTAGE

Beside a lane, diverging from a wood,
Where tall tree-tops o'er-roof d the grassy way,
And, sloping down to face the sonthern ray,
Before the door a well-stock'd garden lay ;
Clean-weeded beds by winding walks outspread,
Where household roots were ripening day by day,
And blossom'd beans delicious perfume shed,
While fruit-trees bending low, arch'd closely overhead

All round the place a look of comfort beam'd,
True English comfort, homely, calm, and sweet !
The very trees, amid their stillness. seem'd
With quiet joy their leafy friends to meet,
And on the roses smiled beside their feet ;
The shaded lane, the soft and balmy air,
The breath of flowers new-waked the morn to greet ;
All seem'd so pure so innocent, and fair,
That in such scenes as these man never need despair.

Along the walls sweet-scented creepers hung,
Nail'd here and there, their fragile stems to stay ;
And after rain the gentle breezes flung
Such floating fragrance far across the way,
As lured the bees from distant fields to stray ;
A rustic porch, with straggling woodbine dress'd,
And blooming roses made the cottage gay ;
While near at hand, the plum-tree's welcome guest,
Three summers, undisturb'd, a thrush bath built her nest

In two small plots, with border-box hemm'd round,
Rare healing plants and choicest pot-herbs grew,
The garden balm, 'mid village dames renown'd ;
And fragrant thyme, its rich aroma threw
O'er mint and white-leaved sage, and bitter rne.
Not far from these the straw-thatch'd bee-hive stood,
Where in and out, all day incessant flew
The labouring bees so bent on public good
That idlers none disgraced that busy neighbourhood.

PEACE

She dwells alone, in amber skies,
The Spirit I love best ;
And the celestial harmonies
Are centered in her breast.
Her eye is thought, her breast is song,
And light and hope her wings ;
And man would think his life too long
But for the rest she brings.

It I biato that you will*-] xhall he propared

to receive you to-morrow at my apartrnent—(the
number, mind !)-15, Walnut Tree Walk, Lambeth

Yours, dear George,
" HENRY MELTON."

Strange as was the tone of this note, and wretched as it
bespoke the mind of the writer to be, it was with a thrill of
satisfaction that I received it ; and, at an early hour the fol-
lowing day, I found myself crossing 'Westminster Bridge, and
threading my way to the place appointed. A. thousand
thoughts of the past—a thousand anticipations of the future
crowded upon me as I passed along. The picture of the
friend of my boyhood was at one time before me, his glad
eyes beaming with health and the buoyancy of a youthful
spirit ;—(it was a bright spring morning, and spring brings
happy memories into the saddest heart ;)—and, at another, I
saw him pallid and worn, and a chilling anticipation of ill
crept over my spirit. The bustle of Lambeth Walk,
ever, dissipated my dreaming inclinations ; and, on my ar-
rival at the house mentioned in the note of poor Melton, I
had dismissed alike my diseased fears and hopes, and was
prepared to encounter the dreaded or wished for certainty,
with something like the stoicism of a man of this world, not
unused either to scenes of joy or of sorrow.

It was a house of respectable appearance at which I soon
found myself, and in a few minutes a damp and tremulous
hand had clasped my own, and accents faint and hoarse, yet
still sweet and well remembered, had bid me welcome. But
when I gazed upon the tearful eyes of the speaker—when I
glanced over the shrunken form and the deeply marked and

lien features—when I looked upon that pallid brow and

the hair which shaded it, once of clustering glossy brown,
but now lank and prematurely grey-1 could have said in my
heart this is not he ; and perhaps a feeling of dissatisfaction
might have been traced upon my features and in my manner,

for the poor being before me shrunk beneath my glance, and
withdrew his hand with a sigh from the grasp of confiding
affection with which he had met mine. I had pained him—
