AMERICAN FLOUR.—A Liverpool correspondent informs
us, that a contract has been entered into there, for the supply

The 4iforning Herald, in noticing the deficiency in the last
quarter's revenue, compared with that of the corresponding
quarter of last year, attributes it in part to the alteration of
the timber and other duties which had not come into
operation, and to the unsettled treaties with Portugal and
France.

TRAVELLING FROM LONDON TO PARIS.—it is expected,
that, when the Paris and Rouen Railway is opened, the jour-
ney from London to Paris will be performed, by way of
Brighton. in about 14 hours. It may now be performed in
22 hours, by crossing from Brighton to Dieppe, and at the
charge of 24f.—a wonderful economy both of mcney and
time.

NEWLY DISCOVERED ISLAND.—The Journal du Havre
has the following short notice of the discovery of an hitherto
unknown island :—" The ship Pearl, just arrived at the
Downs of Ohesia, reports, that on her way from Sidney to
Manilla, on the 25th of September last, she descried an island
which is not laid down in any map or chart. It is situated
in 21 59 latitude; and, by the last chronometers, 168 36 east
longitude. It bears a rich appearance, being clothed with
wood, and near the shore are abundance of cocoanut trees.
The captain christened it Burrow's Island."
PRICES TWENTY YEARS SlNCE.—Notwithstanding the
fall in the prices of sheep and cattle (about 20 per cent. on
all but very fine fat oxen,) the markets are much higher than
they were some years since. An extensive sheep farmer
said to us the other day—" I went to Edinburgh, in 1822,
to see George IV., and sell my Cheviot wethers ; the price
I got was 15s. 10d, each. I went again this month, to see
Queen Victoria, and to sell my wethers—exactly the same
sort as before—and my price was 245. 6d."—lnverness
Courier.

THE NEW TARIFF—IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN PRO-
VISIONS.—A small quantity of foreign pickled beef and pork
has this week been received here (Berwick) by Mr. James
Sanderson, for the purpose of ascertaining its quality, and
the probability of its commanding a sale in this town, whose
district is so justly celebrated for producing the excellent of
both. The sample has been highly approved of, the pork in
particular being of superior quality. The beef is from
Holstein, in Denmark, and the pork from America. A
supply has been ordered, which will probably be remitted
here by the return of the steam-packet, Manchester, from
London. The sample has been sold at—beef, 4.Ad. per lb. ;
pork, 4d.—Berwick Paper.
The Paris papers during the week have been chiefly occupied
with comments upon the recent news from Algeria with re-
ference to General Changarnier's affair with the Arabs near
Miliana. The official despatches show that the losses of the
French on the occasion have been by no means exaggerated,
although the rumours of a surprise and defeat were unfounded.
General Ghangarnier admits that he had 22 killed, and 100
wounded, and adds, in a postscript, that " General Lamoriciere
was believed to have carried by a coup de main the house and
household of Abdel Kader and Sidi Embarek, and taken the
families of those chiefs prisoners.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford, after a resi-
dence of a fortnight at Ford Castle, Northumberland, have
taken their departure from that ancient baronial mansion.
The noble marquis and marchioness were escorted to the ex-
tremity of their estate by the stout yeomanry on his lord-
ship's demesne on horseback ; and, indeed, their leave was
only equalled by the enthusiastic display which greeted their
arrival at the castle from Ireland. Many of the poor cotta-
gers have beeir visited by the amiable marchioness, accom-
panied by the marquis ; and we are happy to thear that by
their considerate benevolence the hearth of many an humble
cottage has been gladdened.
The will and six codicils of the late Right Hon. Edward
Boscawen, Earl of Falmouth, Viscount Falmouth, and
Baron Ross Boscawen, has just been proved in the Preroga-
tive Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, by Charles
Lord Bayning, Vice-Admiral Nicholls, and George Bankes,
Esq., the executors. Amongst the several legacies, he gives
his wife Frances £-1000, to purchase a house ; to Vice-
Admiral Henry Nicholls, £5OO, " as a token of esteem for
valuable and impartial advice and assistance ;" to his son,
George Henry Boscawen, all his estates in the county of
Cornwall. The will is dated 15th July, 1819, and the pro-
perty sworn under the value of £60,000.
CHURCH EXTENSION.—During the last week one church
in Manchester (St. George's) has been re-opened for divine
worship, after undergoing considerable repairs, cleaning,
painting, &c.—and three new churches have been consecrated
by the Bishop of Chester, all in the immediate neighbour-
hood of that town. The first was the new church, named
St. Silas's, near Pin Mill Brow, Ancoats, one of the churches
erected by the Ten Churches Association." The second
church, consecrated in the afternoon of the same day (Mon-
day) was the new church at Stretford. The usual ceremonial
was performed, and the services of the day. A sermon was
preached by the bishop of the diocese, after which a col-
lection was made " to assist in defraying the many heavy ex-
penses yet to he met." The third church consecrated was
that of St. John's, Pendlebury.

OPERATION OF THE TARIFF AND THE CORN-LAWS.—
The contracts which have been recently taken for the supply
of meat, flour, and other provisions, to the various parishes
and unions of the metropolis, for the ensuing six months,
have been considerably lower in price than has been given
for soms years past. In the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth,
the contract for the supply of meat was sd. the stone of eight
pounds under that of the former period, and the price for the
sack of flour was ss. less per sack. The contract was for the
supply of 260 stone per week for the in-door and out-door
poor., and for 30 sacks of flour a week. The effect will make
a difference of about £l4O in the meat, and about £195 in the
flour : and, taking into consideration other provisions, the
saving will be about £4OO for the six months to the parish.
CHEAP SHOOTING.—A gentleman on a visit at Brighton,
being desirous of enjoying some pheasont shooting on the Ist
of October, applied to a friend to obtain permission to sport
over a farm. His friend apprised him of the danger he would
run if be went out without a license, and he forthwith armed
himself with a license, for which he paid £4 Os. 10d., and he
sallied out to Cowfold, where a day's sport was guaranteed
to him by the farmer for a consideration, namely, the pay-
ment of 30s. After trudging about the farm for several hours
without finding a pheasant, he let fly with both barrels at a
bird, which turned out to be a fowl from the farm-yard,
strayed some distance from his proper home. The bird, with
which the cockney returned to the farm-house in high glee,
turned out to be a cock of a rare breed, which the farmer had
purchased for 305., for the purpose of improving his breed of
fowls. The farmer was, of course, remunerated for the loss
of his bird, and the cockney returned to Brighton, without a
head of game, his day's sport having cost him £7 Os. 10d.
' WEST INDIAN INTERESTS.—A correspondent of the
Morning
Herald, in a letter to that journal, makes the fol-
lowing very just observations :—I am rather amused with
everybody finding fault with the income tax—deducting 7d.

try. Still no sympathy at home for the perilous situation of
the planter; and up to last session of parliament duties are
reduced on all else excepting British sugar and rum."

NEW BANKRUPT COMMISSIONERS..—The bankrupt com-
missioners, including the several new appointments which,
it is understood, have been made, will assemble in a few days
to agree to certain rules for carrying the provisions of the
new act into effect. The act comes into operation on the
11th of November next. It is stated that only 10 new ap-
pointments will be made, and not 12. which are sanctioned
by the 59th section, and that the new commissioners will
have jurisdiction in country districts. The names of the new
commissioners mentioned in legal circles are, Mr. Serjeant
Stevens, Mr. Kenyon Parker, Mr. Wray. Mr. Shepherd,
and Mr. Charles Phillips. Other names have been men-
tioned to complete the number, among them H. R. Reynolds,
Esq., of the Chancery bar. By the 70th section the com-
missioners are authorised to make rules, and by the 76th
clause the amount of salary is fixed. The present judge of
the Court of Review (Sir John Cross), £2,500 a year; the
London commissioners, £2,000; and the country commis-
sioners, £l,BOO a year each.—Standard (of Tuesday).

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.—The Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners have recommended that the following benefices in
this county should be raised to £l5O a-year, and, in conse-
quence of that recommendation, an order in council has been
issued authorising such augmentation :
Adlington, in Standish, Perpetual Curacy, £7l.
St. Saviour's, Bamber-bridge, District Church, £75.
St. John's, Blackburd, Perpetual Curacy, £35.
St. Paul's, Blackburn, Perpetual Curacy, £76.
Blackley, in Manchester, Perpetual Curacy, £27.
St. James, Lower Darwen, Perpetual Curacy, £92.
Trinity Church, Over Darwen, Perpetual Curacy, £2B.
Immanuel Church, Feniscowles, Perpetual Curacy, £7O.

St. Ann's, Lydgate, in Rochdale, Perpetual Curacy, £B.
St. Mary's, Mellor, Perpetual Curacy, £74.
Tonge-cum-Alkrington, in Prestwich, District Church, £137
POPULATION OF MALTA.—The Governor-General of
Malta having issued an Order in Council for a census to be I
taken of the inhabitants of Malta, the following has been given
as the result :—The population amounts to 111,498 ; but, as
the garrison and the crews of the ships of war on the station
are not included, the number may be considered to be not
less than 120,000. It has been ascertained that of the
114,499 persons there are not less than 44,192 individuals of
the lower classes of society without any ostensible means of
subsistence, whilst there are 566 professional beggars, mak-
ing about one-third of the whole population dependent on the
other two-thirds for maintenance. The clergy amount to
1,280, including nuns ; the nobility and gentry, holders of
land, to 813; persons acting as brokers, 172; police, 208.
Notwithstanding the immense number of persons in the
lower classes without employment, the criminals during the
year amounted only to 437 males and 37 females, 153 of
whom were liberated, not being convicted on their trials. In
the total number of criminals are included 85 English, and
four foreigners. The population of 114,499 consists of
Maltese—males, 54,156; females, 58,344. English—males,
530 ; females, 630. Foreigners—males, 481 ; females, 357.
The number of English is of course much greater, the gar-
rison and crews of vessels being, as before stated, to be
added.
THE CHARTER ARMORIAL BEARINGS.—Amongst the
discoveries made by the policemen who apprehended the
Chartist leaders at Manchester, were a number of emblazoned
cards, such as were distributed to the members of the Chartist
Association. They were found at the house of a person
named Leach, the President of the Chartist Association. The
device upon them was in the form of a coat of arms, with
supporters, crest, motto, &e., as in heraldric bearings. In
what would be called the field is a representation, it is sup-
posed, of the British lion having broken his chain, trampling
on cannon, pistols, and a broken sword. A garter surrounds
the field ; its legend, " This is our Charter." The dexter
supporter is a gentleman in a "broad cloth" dress suit, with
a spade in his right hand ; and over his head, as a crest, a
beehive, on a fillet. The sinister supporter is a rustic nymph,
with a rake in her left hand ; and over her head is a wheat-
sheaf, as a rest. The shield is surmounted by a globe, the
cap of liberty, and the tricolour ; over these, what is meant
to represent the eye of Providence, placed in a star ; and over
the whole, a scroll, inscribed, " The National Charter Asso-
ciation of Great Britain." The motto is, " God is our guide."
Beneath is the business part of the ticket, thus arranged :
" No. , Residence , James Leach, President ;
John Campbell, Secretary."
THE BANK OF MANCHESTER.—We are exceedingly glad

to learn that, owing to the considerate forbearance 4-the
London agents of this bank, and an exceedingly liberal ad-
vance from the Liverpool and Manchester District Bank, the
directors have been enabled to effect an arrangement for
promptly meeting all the demands that can be made upon the
bank in the ordinary course of business; and that the cala-
mities arising from its present situation are not likely to be
increased by any failure in the repayment of deposits, or in
providing for current bills. Under this arrangement, the
depositors receive their money whenever they apply for it.
The District Bank, we hear, has also adopted most of the
current accounts of the Bank of Manchester, so that it is
understood no interruption will take place in the transactions
of business, and the customers of the latter bank will receive
their usual accommodation. An absurd report has been cur-
rent for a day or two, that Mr. Burdekin, the late manager,
is absent with the connivance of the directors ; that he is
still in England ; and that his place of concealment is known.
We are informed, on the best authority, that Mr. Burdekin
sailed in the Britannia, on Tuesday, the 4th instant, a friend
of ours having seen him, and spoken to him, on board the
Redwing tender, which conveyed the letter bags and passen-
gers from the pier. With regard to the call of £2 per share,
however unpleasant and inconvenient it may be, it is obvious
that the shareholders must comply with it; and, highly as
we blame the directors for having suffered the bank to get
into its present deplorable state, we must say, that by the
course they have now taken, they will prevent the most dis-
astrous consequences to individual shareholders. They will
also have an opportunity of realising the assets of the bank,
of whatever kind, in more favourable times; thus affording a
reasonable expectation of repaying to the shareholders, not
only the amount of this call, but also, should an improve-
ment in trade take place, a further sum, which, it is hoped,
may arise from the increased value of their property.
RIOT AT COATBILIDGE.—On Saturday night, a great num-
ber of drunken and infuriate colliers and miners assembled
at the bridge, and having quarrelled amongst themselves, and
split into two factions, distinguished as Scottish and Irish,
they first fought with each other for possession of the bridge,
and, in the general confusion which ensued, assaulted every
respectable-looking person who came in their way. The
riot continued for several hours, during which the town was
completely in the hands of the mob. The shop-keepers
closed their places of business, and neither they nor the in-
habitants generally durst venture 'out of doors, without in-
curring the utmost danger, as showers of stones were dying
in all directions, and the rioters made a rush at every per-
son they saw abroad. Our informant, who was visiting a
friend, and was present during the affray, describes it as

ing the street, our informant sallied forth to his assistance-
and found him lying in the gutter, wounded, helpless, and
covered with blood. He was immediately conveyed into a,
place of safety, and two surgeons were called, who found
that his eye was severely injured, part of the bone being sup-
posed to be fractured, and the back part of his head was also
cut extensively. On proceeding afterwards down the street,
at the time that it was scoured by a detachment of the mob,
our informant observed them treading upon an object which
appeared to creak under their feet, and on going towards it
found that it was a man who bad been knocked down, and
was lying in an insensible state. A respectable shop-keeper,
whose name has been mentioned to us, happening to be in
the neighbourhood of the bridge, found that his only chance
of safety was in betaking himself to a boat in the canal, and
from which he found it impossible, with any degree of pru-
dence, to retreat till the morning was far advanced, and the
rioters had disappeared. During the whole riot, the village
had all the appearance of a place besieged.—Glasgow Guar-
than.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning last Sir W.
Geary, Bart., of Oxenheath, on entering his dressing-room,
fell over a glass screen, which was broken to pieces, and a
large fragment, presenting a very sharp tapering point, in-
flicted a frightful wound on the right side of Sir William's
neck, behind the lower jaw, within the smallest possible dis-
tance of the carotid artery, and dividing one of its principal
branches. Lady Geary, who was in the next room, instantly
ran to Sir William's assistance, with her maid. Sir William
was stretched on the floor, his life's blood gushing out with
fearful violence. In this dreadful extremity the presence of
mind and fortitude both of Lady Geary and her attendant,
were the means of preventing the. unfortunate gentleman's
instant dissolution. At her ladyship's suggestion, her maid
(a swiss) courageously seized the wound, and tightly com-
pressing it with her hands, stayed the frightful effusion of
blood. In the meantime messengers had been despatched
for Messrs. Starling and Vine, of Hadlow, and Dr. Taylor,
of Maidstone. On their arrival it was found that the only
chance of saving the patient was by performing the important
and difficult operation of tying the carotid artery, in order to
prevent hemorrhage—the least renewal of which must have
been fatal. The operation was most skilfully performed by
Mr. Starling, assisted by his partner, Mr. Vine and Dr.
Taylor. It was unattended by the slightest additional bleed-
ing, a point of the highest importance in this extreme case,
and was borne with extreme fortitude by the previously well-
nigh exhausted sufferer. Unhappily, the previous extensive
loss of blood which Sir William had sustained, produced
such an entire inanition, that an attack of paralysis was su-
perinduced, which threatened to baffle the skill and anxious
attention of his medical attendants, who have never left
their respected patient day or night. On Sunday evening
Sir William appeared to he as low as it was possible to be
and alive ; but rallied a little during the night. The report
last evening was, that lie had not gone back during the pre-
ceding twelve hours.—/liaidstone Journal, of Tuesday.

AWFUL MURDER AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—On
Monday morning, at an early hour, the inhabitants of
Goulston's-buildi,,gs, adjacent to the Grange-walk, Ber-
mondsey, London, were alarmed by the cries of " murder"
proceeding from a house occupied by a man named Jessop,
late in the employ of Messrs. Margetson and Co., the tan-
ners, of Long-lane, Bermondsey. A boy about fourteen
years of age, the 'son of Jessop, was observed in the act of
running out of the house, at six o'clock that morning, ex-
claiming -that his father was murdering his mother, and
policeman Ward, 220 M, passing at the time, immediately
went into the house. On entering the back parlour he saw
a female, the wife of Jessop, lying on the floor, with her
head nearly severed from her body, and the boards under-
neath her body deluged in her blood. At a short distance
from the body of the female lay her husband, who had a deep
gash in his throat, from which the blood was issuing. He
appeared to be alive, and a razor covered with blood was
near his side. The policeman sent for Dr. Storey, of the
Grange-road, who pronounced the woman quite dead, but on
examination of the man, discoveredstphpaetdnotiniee
hoefmthoerrlhaarggee
vessels were injured, and haying
stopped
he had him immediately conveyed to Guy's Hospital. From
inquiries made as to the probable cause of the perpetration of
such a dreadful murder, it appears that Jessop, who was a
sober, industrious man, lived in the utmost harmony with
his wife (the deceased) and a family of five children. On
Friday last he was discharged from
.his situation, and this
seemed to prey very much upon his mind, and he was heard
to remark, that he was fearful his wife and family would be
driven to great distress, owing to his being out of work.
On Monday morning his wife rose at about a quarter before.
six o'clock, leaving her husband in bed, and went down
stairs into the back parlour, where the family breakfasted,
and commenced lighting the fire. While she was engaged at
work her son, the boy already alluded to, got up and joined
his mother in the room below, where they had not been
r aried

where
long before they heard Jessop pacing up and down the apart-
ment overhead. In a short time afterwards his foot was

and
.
towards his wife, who at the time was kneeling at the grate, in
which he was brandishing about. He immediately rushed
the act of kindling a fire, and seizing her round the neck,
exclaimed, " I have been walking about our room up sairs.
c
Some one has ordered me to cut your throat, and I have
to do it." He then forced the unfortunate woman's
head between his legs, and nearly cut her head off with the
razor. The boy called out murder," and ran into the
street, to give the alarm ; but before he returned
policeman, his father had inflicted a woundin his throat, and
with
the
the deceased and he were found lying on the floor as already
described. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of
Mrs. Jessop on Tuesday, and a verdict returned of " Wilful
Murder" against her husband, who died on Wednesday
from the wounds,

IMPORTATION OF STOCK FROM ABROAD.

(From the Globe.)

As the importation of stock from abroad, admitted for
home consumption under the new tariff, cannot fail to be of
great moment and interest to our readers, we herewith pre-
sent them with the following table of arrivals at London and
the various outports since its passing, up td Saturday last,
the Bth instant :

It must be observed that some portions of the stock re-
ported above as sent to Hull have found their way to the
metropolitan market, either alive or in a slaughtered state ;
and that, as a matter of course, those brought to London
from Spain were landed at Southampton, and sent hither per
railway, being the quickest and most economical mode of
conveyance : still the number we have returned at South-
ampton has, we find, been retained by the importers for the
local markets. At Devonport, also, about 200 Spanish oxen
and cows have been imported and sold in that neighbour-
hood. From the above it will be perceived that the receipts
have already formed a grand total of no less than 2,278 bead,
a by far greater supply than many parties have been looking
forward to. But there is one feature connected with this
subject which requires particular observation—viz., nearly
the whole of the beasts, cows, sheep, and pigs, but more es-
pecially the former, ninny of which have been killed, owing
to their bad state, have suffered far more severely than the
English stock from the prevailing epidemy.
There was landed from a sailing packet to-day the first
importation of stock from France. The number comprised
20 oxen, the quality of which was the best we have hitherto
seen, and they were in consequence held at high prices.
From Hamburgh we had also 20 oxen, and cows in calf; and
from Rotterdam, 15 beasts and 40 pigs in very middling con-
dition ; but no sheep came to hand from any quarter, on ac-
count of the previous arrivals, which only produced 18s. per
head, having been disposed of at a great loss.
The arrivals of stock from our own districts at Smithfield
yesterday were very large, even the time of year considered,
but they were of an unusually bad quality. From Lincoln-
shire only 100 short-horns were received • but from Leices-
tershire and Northamptonshire the supply embraced quite
2330 short-horns and rants. From other quarters the re-
ceipts were as follows—viz., 160 Scots, home-breds, and
runts, from Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ;
600 Herefords, Devons, Irish beasts, and runts, from our
western and midland counties ; 400 from other parts of Eng-
land; and 20, by sea, from Scotland; the remainder being
driven from the stall-feeders, cattle-lodgers, marshmen, &c.,
near to and within a few miles of London. As might be
' anticipated, the extent of the bullock supply had a very de-
pressing influence upon the beef trade ; in fact, notwith-
standing the attendance of buyers was rather numerous, it
was not without the greatest difficulty that sales could be
effected by the salesmen on any terms. Thus circumstanced,
they were compelled to give way in their demands, and we
have to report the quotations of beef quite 2d. per 81b. be-
neath those noted on this day se'nnight, the very highest
figure for the best Scots being 4s. 2d. per 81b., and this, too,
was obtained in very few instances, while a large number of
the inferior breeds was turned out unsold. Although the
number of sheep was not large, the mutton trade was very
dull, and the prices declined fully 2d. per 81b., a clearance
not being effected ; nothing was doing in lambs. The supply
of calves was good, and the sale for them slow, at drooping
currencies. In pigs no variation occurred, with a fair supply
on offer. The general quotations are now from 4d. to 6d.
per 81b. lower than at the corresponding market-day last
year.
