Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease remained in the same lan-
guid state as on Friday last, without any further decrease in

Oats, although not in lively request, were more saleable at
our last currency ; and Oatmeal, of which 3000 or 4000 loads
have been disposed of to hold over, but not much demand

from consumers, supported former prices

SUDDEN DEATH OF THY BISHOP OF CHICHESTER.—
Dr. Shuttleworth, the Bishop of Chichester, died suddenly
on Friday evening at 11 o'clock, at the Episcopal Palace,
Chichester. His Lordship transacted business as usual on
Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday he was attacked with
sickness, and about nine o'clock in the evening his medical
attendant, Mr. Dodd, of Chichester, observing him to be
much exhausted, called in Dr. M'Carogher, who found him
rapidly sinking, and at about eleven o'clock his Lordship
expired, apparently without the slightest pain. Dr. Shut-
tleworth has been Bishop of Chester only 15 months.

A JEWEL OF A WIFE.—A Miss Charlotte Mitchell, of
Georgia, recently appeared on her wedding day dressed en-
tirely of silk of her own manufacture—cap, gloves, stockings,
and dress—equal to the best pongee. Girls, do you hear
that? Such a girl would be worth more to a young man
just starting in the world, than a thousand dollar-farm, and
a half-a-dozen pianos to boot. Really she is a wife worth
having, and William Whattington, Esq., may think himself
a fortunate man.—American Paper.

SINGULAR ESCAPE.—An escape, well-nigh bordering on
the miraculous, occurred at the colliery belonging to Messrs.
Blundell and Sons, Wigan, under the following extraordinary
circumstances :—Three of the work-people wishing to de-
scend the shaft in order to pursue their avocations, were let
down by the usual means in the basket, and arrived safely
at the bottom ; but strange to say, the rope broke as the
empty basket ascended.

THE IRON TRADE.—The state of the iron trade, as was
expected, came under the consideration of the ironrnasters'
meeting at Dudley, on Thursday last, when, we are happy
to state, it was determined to continue paying the men at
their present rate of wages. No reduction consequently will,
in the present state of affairs, take place. Thus, as bands
have not been discharged, (nor are any that we know of
under warning,) and the rate of wages remains the same, the
discontinuance of the working of the furnaces (for there will
not be a fourth of those recently at work blown out) will not
prove so calamitous as apprehended. The surplus stock of
iron is understood to be chiefly pig iron, and it would appear
from the circumstances above stated, that employment has
been found for the furnace-men, and others immediately
connected with that manufacture, in other departments of
the business. The price of pig iron in London, we see by
the quotations, receded ss. per ton, last week ; other sorts
remain the same.—Stoffordshire Gazette.
A widow, at Camhrai, named Thezin, had agreed to ac-
cept for a second husband, Dujardin, a gendarme. The
contract was signed, the banns published, and the day fixed;
but as this happened to be the first anniversary of the death
of the first husband, his relations remonstrated so severely
with the widow on the indecency of this proceeding, that
she not only consented to postpone the ceremony, but broke
off the match. A few days since Dujardin went to visit the
widow, and, after a long interview, during which, no doubt,
he bad vainly endeavoured to bring her back to his wishes,
two reports of fire-arms were heard, and the neighbours,
rushing into the house, found the widow dead on the floor,
with a wound in her side from a pistol. A brace of pistols
were lying on the floor, with the second of which Dujardin
had attempted to destroy himself. He was, however, found
alive in another room, with his face terribly disfigured by the
shot, and was carried senseless to the military hospital,
where he remains in imminent danger. Previous to these
desperate acts, he had written to his lieutenant, informing
him that he and his intended bride had determined to die to-
gether, and recommending to the care of his officer his
two children, meaning those of the widow, one of whom is
eight and the other only five years old.
LIBERALITY IN ITS TRUE SIGNIFICATION.—II is a
perversion of the term liberality to apply it to those whose
opinions and principles sit loose upon them, or, as is not un-
frequently done, to those who have no religious principles at
all. True liberality consists, if I know anything of the
force or meaning of words, in bearing with those who differ
from us, in using them kindly, gently, and respectfully ; not
in sinking the difference that subsists between us upon
matters of high importance; not in explaining it away, and
pretending to treat it lightly ; not in surrendering sacred
truths, in order to catch temporary applause or popularity.
How can that be called candour, or even honesty, which
tends to confirm men in error, to separate them from the
true church, and thus to hazard their future salvation. If I
were asked for a model of true liberality in religious matters,
I would refer to the beautiful apostrophe of one who had
been himself reviled, insulted, and persecuted even to death,
with the utmost rage and violence, by the very people of
whom he thus speaks :—" Brethren, my heart's desire and
prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For
I bear them record that they have a zeal for God, but not
according to knowledge."—Bishop Coppleston.
SENSATIONS OF BEING CRUSIIED.—The late dreadful
accidents on the Great N,tiestern and other railways give much
interest and curiosity to the following remarkable statement
(from a recent American paper) made by one who almost mi-
raculously escaped with life from a similar accident, though
not till he had been horribly crushed :—" John Dougherty,
who was so dreadfully injured some time since, by being
crushed between a car and the side wall of the ticket office,
at the railroad dep6t, has so far recovered as to be enabled
to leave this city for his home at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The case of Mr. Dougherty is a remarkable instance of es-
cape from the very jaws of death. llis recollection of the
sensations experienced during the accident is distinct and
fearful indeed. His first expectation was, that the car would
be stopped ; but it continued to advance, and thus increased
the pressure, those parts of his body which were the most
prominent being the first to feel the effects of the crash. In
a moment or two he felt his ribs giving way ; and to this suc-
ceeded the terrible sensation connected with the violent in-
jection of the blood from the body to the head, which felt to
him like a flame passing from the latter to the former. At
this moment he became senseless, and the car was immedi-
ately thereafter stopped, and removed backward for his re-
lease, the body falling to the ground as that of a dead man.
His return to reanimation he describedas though he was un-
der the effect of an unpleasant dream, from which he felt
conscious he would be relieved when be awoke. To those
who saw him after the accident, it appeared irrpossiblc that
he could survive ; and vet, through a kind providence, and
the skill and unwearied attention of Dr. Dunbar, his prin-
cipal physician, he has been restored to life."--Baltimore
American.
