THE DYING CHILD.
THE DYING CHILD. I weep t'lat I am dying, yet it is not death I fear; >To sin is on mv soul, mother, but life is all too dear; The winds are iow and soft, mother, and very blue the sky, And God will pardon the young child who thinks it hard to die. Oh! do not close the curtains, for the sunshine is so bright: Perhaps it is the way God smiles-that broad and golden light; I feel a little stronger now, so put that cordial by, For while the sunshine's on my fac", dear mother, can I die ? Xay, don't read now-I know it al1 that second birth: Would that the heaven you tell nv of were like this lovely earth, Oh our cottage by the wild ,<1-<lOre! yes, there you all will be In the long summer days, when I am where there is no sea I know we call the Cud of heaven our Father" in that prayer You taught me,-I shall never find aught like a mother there But where's my pretty spaniel ? mother, place her on the bed: Down Fandown Bright-eye! do you think she'll pine when I am dead ? And my little dappled pony, with small head and long sleek mane! He'll ne'er neigh at my approach, nor feed from out my hand again: In vain you ask me not to fix my mind on things like these: Tell me not of heaven's jasper walls,-I yearn for earth's green trees I weep that I am dying, yet it is not death I fear: No sin is on my soul, mother, but life is all too dear: The winds are Jow and soft, mother, and. oh so blue the sky. That God will pardon the young child who thinks it hard to die. —3/r. Purchase's Poems and Ballads.

GOOD OUT OF EVIL,-It was lately observed by a spendthrift, who had got over head and ears in debt, that so far from having proved detrimental to hii character, he had obtained great credit by so doing. So very common is it for women to be disappointed in their first love, that a female writer has 5Iaid she considered the loss and recovery of the heart to be to the mind what the hooping cough or measles is to the body, A FORWARD YOCTJI, Define the difference bptween expe- rimental philosophy and natural philosophy," said a school- master to one of the most forward of his pupils.

Christianity never Jug the cave of the hermit, neyer built the cell of the monk, never sent the friar to beg, nor prompted the nun to bury herself from the world. It demands the exer- cise of all our powers, the buruishi1:g of all our talents, the employment of all our opportunities, an existence of activity, animation, and zeal, a vigorous persevprance which nothing can exhaust, 'and an heroic determination which nothing can subdue.

One kind friend, whose eye3 glisten under the influellce of esrorting three consecutivp young ladies down to supper, and gallantly hobnobbing witÍl the same, or anybody else whose eye he could catch, declares that "The thing was pretty wpll, but slow, very slow; anù the champagne was decidedly not A 1 people should not give champagne without it was the best." He then, with exceeding drollery, descants upon the timidity of the servant when the corks dew out; but he excuses her, as he dares say she had never seen such a (hing ia the house before. One 01,1 lady, who has been profuse ill her thanks and her expressions of delight at the pleasantness of the evening, nods her head and. shakes her llaxea false wig. a51 she whispers her convictions to another old tabby, who goes shares with her in the fly for the evening, that" she saw spoous and forks with tbe Tomkins's initials, and some with the Wilkins's, which fully accounted for the quantity of plate, which puzzled her sadly at first, until she looked flh out J. bit, and convinced herself; and that, by the merest accident in the world, she happened to lift the table cloth, when she discovered that they were obligpd to t'ke out the length of the table with two, and yet she was sure they gave themselves the airs of nobility." Young ladies, who have no time to lose in society, ar1l1 \111) India-rubber their gloves from sheer necessity and continual parties, du their little spiteful things b the same amiable strain; wondering at the host push- ing hi, daughter so forward, and making her sino sueh horrid 1talian, scmmhling over the keys as she does, These young ladies will be found to be clutching a roll of music untied, which had been deposited in the passage, and doomed never to make its appearance in the drawing-room, yet they smiled until the cabman shut the door, and before thpy left, kissed the host's daughter twice ia their enthusiasm. In this grade we often meet with an individual, who, with the cunning of a fox, billets himself upon his friends, in all imaginable ways, during the IJreceding twelvemonths, aud then asks all his victims to one insupportable crush, where half his dear friends are in the pas- sage or mixed up with the fiddlers, or crammed into a comer from which it would be folly to move, as twenty are watching for a chanre to occupy it, even under the penalty of being stunned by a close approximation to a vigorous cornopean. The fox squeezes himself blandly about amidst the throng, smiling with unmixed happiness, for he looks upon the halï- stifled assemblage as so many good dinners, soirees, and quad- rille parties, all to be settled, ia the same unplpasant manner, ill another twelvemonths, and the same people will be foolish enough tu ;0 through the precise thing again, and believe it is society. There is a certain class of young gentlemen in society who are not unlike charwomen, who go out to hdp at pa1"ties,- that is, they are invited without being personally known, by being included in the invitations of those who are, Thus a person who wishes to aslonish everybody by letting them see what a host of good society he is intimate with, alllJ. having more than he can accommodate, sends an invitation to a dancing friend, which is an individual supposed only to do that kind of work, and never invited to the more sub5ltantial dinner parties, but is perfectly content to come. in smiling with the Colfee and the muffins. At the bottom of the aforesaid note he write5l- Bring a quadrilling friend or two with you," which is accord- ingly done, who upun then entrance are introduced ,to their friend's friend, the host, who smiles, &c., &c" but without the slightest wish to become more intimately acquainted with them, and indeed he never remembers one from the other of these horrowed friends this may perhaIJs be excusable, for nothing is more difficult, as they are a most extraordinary stereotyped set-all wear polished boots, white waistcoats, white handker- chiefs, and very oily hair, without anythÍ1}g to say about any- thing, and nothing without dancing. These kind of automata make. upon an average, about one-third of all evening parties they are very easily detected hy the initiated, for directly they are unmixed with a quadrille or polka, they all run together 1D a lump of quicksilver, and are about as heavy. Notwithstand- jng all these peculiarities, they have their little ambition, con- sisting of relations of how few nights they spend in bed during the dancing season, and their intimate knowledge of the best cornocopeans in town; but if one can get a corroborated account of Jullien having actually spoken to him, he becomes paramount. They have also occasional glimpses of intellect, though of a perfectly personal nature, such as finding out who goes home their way, and, if they have a fly, they take wine with them, If it should be a lady, old or ugly, they dance with her; this saves coach hIre, .To servants tlley seem known in- stinctively, for they never give any vails, therefore they treat them with neglect; thIS does not much affect them, as they never have more than a pair of goloshes, rolled up .in a large worsted comforter, which they throw down in the passage any- where, and a Highland cap III their pockets to keep the latch key company even this is called going a great deal into society. This specimen, in its old age, must be exceedingly curious, for I have never yet found out what It turns into. Many people feel flattered if by any chance they are lnVlted Into society above them; their hearts flutter, and they talk loudly of their great friends, taking great care to blow the dust from the in- vitation card which invariably floats like 011 to the top of the less aristocratic ones in the card basket; they do indeed flatter themselves, for in nine cases out of ten they are invited because they are so efficient in a glee, play quadrilles untiringly, or take a hand of cards on the shortest notice, and are victimised accordiagly they are put down in the family consultation with the musicians, waiters, and wax lights, being in the same ratlo necessary; in fact, like supernumeraries in a tableau at a theatre, they aWl to the crowd awl Miscellany,
THE COLLIERS' STRIKE AT NEWBRIDGE.
THE COLLIERS' STRIKE AT NEWBRIDGE. Want of room compelled us to omit the following last week. It has reference to certain proceedings which took place before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Erie, at Chambers, on Wednesday week. THE QUEEN versus THOMAS AND OTHERS. In the month of March last, the defendant (David Thomas) and several others, namely, John Morris, Thomas Davis, David Evans, Thomas Thomas, David Williams, Richard Lloyd, and William James, entered into a written agreement with a Mr. John Edmunds, the proprietor of Pontypridd Colliery, to serve the said John Edmunds for a period of two years, to work and carry on the work as miners; namely, to cut and fill, all clean and large picked coal, by hand, into the tram in every stall, heading, or windway, at one shilling and eigtitpence for every 2352 lbs. of such coal, fairly weighed upon the present machine at the colliery, and the same quantity of brush coal at one shilling, free of all charge and cost to the said John Edmunds, with the exception of 5s for coining each stall when necessary, and all windwaysat t s. 6d. per yard the said John Edmunds to use every exertion to give full employment to each collier, and take away his trams, while all overweight was to be forfeited, and nothing to be paid to the various parties concerned; but if any dirt, stone, or foreign matter be found in the trams, the same to be cropped and deducted from the quantity estimated as coal. The workmen to have a draw in cash every fortnight, and a clear settlement of account every current month, and be then paid in the current coin of the realm, The scale of prices per ton to the workmen to be advanced or lowered according to the following scale, that is to say, when the price of coal at Cardiff shall be advanced to 9s. per ton, the workmen shall be paid the sum of 2d. extra per ton; when the price shall full or be lowered at Cardiff to the sum of 7s. 6d., the workman shall be lowered in his wages the sum of 2d. per ton. The lowest price to the workman to be is. 6d. per ton, and if coal shall advance aÍJove 9s. the workmen's wages shall also be advanced 2d. per ton for every 6d. per ton rise at Cardiff. The contract then covenants the usual application to the nearest bench of magistrates in the event of any misunderstanding, and that a month's notice shall be given to the men in the event of mis- conducting themselves, but not if a general strike should take place. On the 4th of July the several deten!lants absented them- selves from the colliery without giving the monthly notice, which appears to have originated in a. strike. The consequence was, the said several defendants were taken before Colonel Smith, E, 1\1, Williams and John Ilewett, Esquires, at Llantrissent on 10th July, and committed to Cardiff gaol for the space of three calendar months.—These proceedings created a lively sensation throughout the whole of the colliery districts, and mor# parti- cularly so when it was rumoured that the warrant on which the committment was framed was in each case informal. The con- sequence was, parties interested themselves in the matter, and Mr. Owen, solicitor, was employed for the defendants. That gentleman caused application to be made on the 13th oÎ August to the Lord Chief Baron at chambers for a writ of habeas cor- pus to bring up the body of David Thomas, for the purpose of being discharged from Cardiff gaol. The Lord Chief Baron granted the writ, which was made returnable on the 21st of August, on which day the defendant was brought up in the cus- tody of Mr. Woods, the governor of Cardiff gaol, and who handed in the warrant on which he held the body of the said defendant in custody. Mr. Medina (on behalf of prisoner) contended that upon the face of the warrant the commitment was informal, inasmuch as it did not appear that the prisoner was convicted of any offence, the warrant merely alleging that the prisoner was charged with an offence. There.was another objection to the warrant. It did not appear on the face of it that the prisoner was a servant employed in any of the capacities mentioned in the statute of .1 Geo. IV., cap. 5-1, that being the statute under which the conviction took place. The Lord Chief Baron said that as he entertained some doubts on the point, he would consult with the Clerk of the Crown Office. Mr. Cromer was accordingly sent for, who de- clared that the objection was fatal, on which his lordship di- rected the prisoner to be (lis charged, Mr. Medina said, that lie now had to apply to his lordship for six other writs of habeas corpus, there being as many other persons confined in Cardiff Gaol upon similar warrants. The Lord Chief Baron Ihgught it would be unnecessary to issue writs when summflk would have the desired effect, as they in all probability wouhKatisfy the magistrates that they had com- mitted wrongfully. The summonses were accordingly issued, when the following proceedings took place. A delay occurred in the process of the summons the magistrates, without causing the prisoners to be brought before them, ami rehearing the case, applied to a gen- tleman at Merthyr to draw out warrants, which was done in all the legal phraseology; these were sent to the governor, super- seding the first warrants, so when the summonses were served, the bench took no notice beyond saying that whatever defects had previously existed, they had been amended br the subse- quent warrants. Upan Friday, the 28th of August, Mr. Medina applied to Mr. Justice Erie for the writ of habeas corpus, when lie informed his lurdship of the course which the Lord Chief llaron had ad- vised to be pursued, and of its being disregarded. Lpon this representation, the writs were issued and made returnable on Wednesday, September 9. Tht, magistrates, however, being satisfied that they had no power to issue an amended warrant, and that the urst warrants were informal, forthwith seut the discharge of the several de- fendants to Cardiff gaol, all of whom were accordingly liberated, the gaoler merely endorsing on the backs of the respective writs that he had no such persons in his custody. The news of the discharge of the men soon became known at Newbridge, and on the day of their liberation they were there received by hundreds, who conveyed them and tiJeir solicitor, Mr. üweu, to their respective homes amidst the hlazing of torches and bun- fires. The men look upon the proceedings with delight and gratitude, being fully convinced that they are as much protected hy the hlw as their employers are. At the time the return was made, it was stated that the magistrates, to prevent all further proceedings against them, have paid to the defendants and their solicitor, the slim of J: 1211 as a compensation for the error which was inadvertently com- mitted in drawing out the warrClnts uf commitment. ♦ AS OLD HOUSE'S STORY. When I was first built, I commanded a prospect that ex- tended for miles across the open country on one side, while on allolher 1 surveyed London aud its river without bein^ unpleasantly neighboured hy its hubb¡¡[J, i had 11 rich garden of my own, which increased my consequence, like a fine lady's page. Now— 1 frown from all my windows at the atrronl-I stand in a crowded, feculent court, down which no decent individual hurries withollt holding his nose. Thc habitations of the poor have sprung tip, fungns-like, around me. [am buttrest by vile tenements. The hinges of all my doors creak at the foul abomination. V on WIll observe, that in the depth of mv reverses my notions are still genteel, 'Pon my [ was about to swear by tapestry, forgetting that it disappeared whole generations ago. Well, on (he word of a dwelling that once entertained Old Howlev within its walls, I would make an effort even now to be respectable, if you could give'me the faintest hope of success. But you cannot. No, I am doomed to end my daye; in what my owners-cspecially the niad bloods of Uowley's lime-would lermshockillg vulgarity, unutterable degradation. At least, then, let me be wholesome. Let the untainted breeze of heaven visit me, as of yore. Purge me of the foul odours which my threshold every day snuffs up. I hear my inmates—the horny palmed—say that the can accomplish what it pleases. If the assertion be correct, I trust to you for the purification of the neighbourhood in which I have had the misfortune to grow old. My age and experience, not to speak of my having seen better days, are my apology for thus taxing yon. Not to trespass too long upon your space, 1 will relate an incident which occurred in one of my apartments only the day before yesterday. The child of an honest journey man, in the bell-hanging trade, had fallen ill, and was unable to quit his little bed, though its weekly earnings were of sufficient importance to the family to make its health a matter of some consequence towards the attainment of a due supply of their wants, independently of aII tender considerations. He was a very young child to be already a labourer in the rough paths of the world. When he first came to dwell under my roof, I beheld his pretty pale face with an interest that I never feh before. I saw the angel looking through his eyes. Oh, that his lot had transported him to "the Anti- podes, rather than that he should have been brought to inhale the noxious miasma of this terrible spot. He was very meek, and displayed towards his parents, and his brothers and sisters an attachment which I contemplated with admiration. The feelings it occasioned thrilled my rafters. On no former occasion have I experienced equal emotion. I observed him sink by slow degrees, and grow more and more to resemble the dead that I saw borne from my door at the time of the Great Plague. Strange, that I could note what his parents had not eyes to see. He went to his work regularly yet—day by day. At night he crawled to his home more enfeebled than when be set forth in the morn- ing. The fiual change was coming on—hour by hour it was drawing nigher. Death, the deliverer, had kissed his cheek. You must get a doctor for the boy," remarked the occu- pant of the adjoining room, a lucifer match vendor. The child's parents shook their heads—" He will soon be better," theysaid "poorfolks like us can't afford to have achild ill." And still he declined-still grew worse and worse. One morning, about a week ago, he turned his beautiful eves upon his mother, and said plaintively—"Mother, oear:1 cannot get up to-day." "Not get up to-day!" The woman was alarmed. Sbe bent over him. She had travailed for that child and he was dying. She saw it now, and cursed her short-sightedness and selfishness. Dying, and but the other "j day she refused bim a doctor, lest they should lose the weekly stipend he earned, by his having to absent himself froin work! I do think, mother," he said, II that it is this close room, and the nasty smells that coche from the court below, which have made me ))). I thought so too, orratber I knew it. He died the day before yesterday. And how many other human beings, adults as well as children, has the fetid atmos- pbere around me hllrried to a premature grave, Mortality is so frequent in this court as to occasion no surprise yet a man said jestingly on my threshold this morning—" No old people die here." He was right; for none live to grow old. If I might be permitted to express an opinion, as a house of grave character and considerable experience, I would suggest that there must be something frightfully" rotten in the state of Denmark," as Will Shakspere says. But you know best. Perhaps it is part of the economy of governments to kill off their poor as rapidly as possible. I would ask one question, however. May not the fevers, and other contagious diseases, begotten in my vicinity, spread to the dwellings of the wealthy, and breed sad havoc there ? Altogether, 1 must beg leave to doubt the policy of such legis- lative neglect. The very first thing which I would do, if I bad the power, would be to improve the dwellings of the poor and wouldn't I look after the drains and sewers? and wouldn't I widen the narrow thoroughfares, and pass an act for the abolition of courts and alleys. By my—my tapestry again I would invite the sweet breath of Heaven to visit the poorest chamber in the metropolis, without risking its pollution by the allowed presence of any typhus-engendering filth. Per- haps government may be contemplating something to this end. You know best.—People's Journal.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH. The attention of those who have lost their teeth, is especially directed to the follow- ing observationsThe extraction of the few teeth or roots which may remain in the mouth, is insisted upon by many dentists, previously to preparing artificial teeth. This is not necessary, as by Messrs. Thomas & Howard s improved method they can be fixed in the moutb, with the greatest accuracy answering most fully every purpose of articulation and mastication; and so perfectly natural « in appearance as to defy detection by the closest observer, without extracting any teeth or stumps, or giving any pain whatever. The new Incorrodible Teeth invented by Messrs. Thomas & Howard, Surgeon Dentists, 64, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London, will be found much more econo- mical than any others.
CRAWSHAY BAILEY, ESQ.'S COAL…
CRAWSHAY BAILEY, ESQ.'S COAL WORKS AT ABERAMAN. To the Editor of the Cardiff$Merthyr Guardian. SIR,—I beg leave to send you the following, in the hope you will kindly place it in some corner of your ably conducted Journal: — Crawshay Bailey, Esq., after sinking his pit 126 yards deep, on last Saturday night week, struck the coal (at Aberaman,) generally termed the Four Feet rein, which proved Jo be 5 feet 9 inches thick, and of the best quality. We understand that on the day Mr. Bailey ascertained the thickness of the coal, he presented his agent, Mr. D. Williams, Ynyscynon, with the sum of £100 for his faithfulness in superintending his works at Aberaman. On the Saturday evening following, at the Swan Inn, he gave a good supper and half a gallon of Cwrvo cia" to every one connected with his Aberaman works. The whole number that supped was 137. The entertainment was excellently made up of the best mutton and roast beef. After the cloth was lemoved, Mr. D. Williams addressed the company as follows :—" My dear friends, 1 hope I can call you all friends, I hope that we will, of one heart, return our most sincere thanks to Mr. Bailey for his handsome treat and present of to-night. Of course we will not thank him personally all of us; but we will thank him-firstly, by conducting ourselves well, and secondly, by being faithful in his employment. I can assure you, my friends, that I feel it a great honour to be under such a gentleman as Mr. Bailey. There are some that have wealth, but no spirit for speculation others have a sufficiency of such spirit, but no wealth but our present honourable master has Loth; and I have no hesitation in saying that he will be the life of Aber- dare, and a blessing to the whole neighbourhood." Then Mr. D. Williams proposed the health of Mr. Bailev and his family, which was drank with "three times three" by the whole company; after which Mr. James Lewis rose and said that he was of the same opi- nion as Mr. Williams, that there was not such another master to be found as Mr. Bailey; and that he would assure them that Mr. Bailey would make bar iron at Aberaman in a shorter time than a great many were aware of. Mr. Lewis proceeded to propose the health of Mr. D. Williams, assuring all present that he never knew a more upright and straightforward man than Mr, Williams, that he never had a dispute with him in his life, and thought he never would. Mr. Williams's health was then drank by the whole company after which he (Mr. W.) rose, and after thanking Mr. Lewis for his high opinion of him, addressed his Welsh friends in poetry as follows :— Groesaw mil i Grawshay mawr, -ein Bailey Byw hyloll ddyn clodfawr, Goreu llyw 0 gewri llawr, I dorf ei les fydd dirfawr. I'r g01eu dwg ddirgelion,-heb ballu O bellder gwaelodion, Rhwyga y mWIl o'r eigion, o wr brych a glô o'r bron, A'i bur enwog beiriannau,-e godir I'w gadam felinau, Trwy ollwng en troellau, Bydd haiarn fyllt gwyllt YI1 gwau.

Boed bendith i blith ei blant,—a'i vvyrion, I aros mewn IIwydúiant, Byw i gyd heibio i gant, Ag yna cael gogoniant. Yours obediently, Mr. Editor, W. M. THE IRON TRADE. In our notice of the state of the Iron Trade last week, we mentioned that in the contemplated advance of price great attention should be paii to the Exports, which eomprise so large a portion of our consumption of iron. Another serious consideration also presents itself, namely, the consequences with respcct to the rate of wages, and the facility of getting labour performed. The workmen would, in all probability, in case of a general advance upon iron, demand a share of the advantage—but that the masters have a fair answer to such a demand cannot be denied for it is notorious that the workmen are now receiving a rate of wages much higher than corresponds with the present price of iron, according to previous com- parative rates in the district. The high wages consequent upon the unfortunate advance of two pounds per ton, when the nominal price of bars was fixed at twelve pounds, have in but few instances been reduced; and the wages now received by the workmen connected with the manufacturing of iron, or raising material, are nearly at the maximum ever earned in the recollection of the oldest persons engaged in the trade. Instead of profiting by this opportunity to provide against old age or misfortune, the men are continually to be found in the alehouse or beer-shop, or on the peg- alley while at ever)" fair, or race, 01' wake within reach, or on any other, the most trifling excuse, they absent themselves from their work, to the great loss aud annoy- ance of their employers. And indeed to such a degree is this neglect of work carried, that orders, where the time of completion is stipulated, have been refused by many parties, and can scarcely be undertaken at all. It be- comes, therefore, a question of moment, whether a demand of higher wages ought to be and could bo effec- tually resisted as, if unfortunately it should be raised and conceded, the difficulty of procuring the attendance of men to their work would be vastly increased, and a much less quantity of iron than at present would be man- ufactured. We are far from advocating the system of low wages, or wishing to reduce the labourer to the minimum upon which he can support his family but when, as at the present moment, among colliers and miners in particular, we see more than the extra earn- ings universally squandered in vice and immorality, and their families more neglected and distressed than during the prevalence of low wages, we are constrained to think that, until by <t little more intellectual cultivation they have been taught to regulate their animal passions, there is a limit of earnings which it is injurious for them to exceed. The prevailing opinion that ironmasters are now realising enormous profits is altogether untrue. Instances may exist under very favourable circumstances and situa. tions where a fair remuneration is obtained but at the present rate of wages and materials it must be evident to any one conversant with the details of the trade, that for some months iron has not been made, where the materials have been supplied by purchase, at the price for which it has been sold. That such a state of things will be prolonged under the present pressure of orders, and with the-certain prospect of a steady and increasing demand, is scarcely to be expected or wished by any parties. Capital expended, and works carried on with judgment, perseverance, and caution, ought at all times to command a remunerative return. These considerations and many others, together with facts which are daily coming under notice, will doubtless be well and seriously weighed in all their bearings, while I late experience will teach the due value of the flaming representation of golden prospects, and 20 per cent, pro- fits for twenty years tu come, indulged in by some parties; and from the information, talent, and judgment of the. gentlemen who occupy the leading position in the Iron Trade, the result of their deliberations at the approaching quarterly meeting is expected to be of such a nature as, while it evidences a due regard for the mercantile interest, will strengthen public confidence, and be carried out with the greatest unanimity by the trade in general.—iris's Birmingham Gazette. THE POTATO CHOLERA. Much is said, and has been said, concerning what are termed "Years of Famine," but it is not generally known, that since the introduction of the potato into this country, no year has ever passed which, in some remote locality or other, has not been such to the unfortunate inhabitants. The climate of Ireland is so unsettled, its soil so various in quality, and the potato so liable to in- jury from excess of either drought or moisture, that we have no hesitation in stating the startling fact of this annual famine as one we can vouch for, upon our own per- sonal knowledge, & against the truth of which we challenge contradiction. Neither does an autumn pass without a complaint peculiar to those who feed solely upon the new and unripe potato, and which, ever since the year '32, is known by the people as the potato cholera. With these circumstances the legislature ought to be acquainted, in- asmuch as they are calamities that will desolate and afflict the country, so long as the potato is permitted to be, as it unfortunately is, the staple food of the people. That we are subject, in consequence of that fact, to periodical recurrences of dearth and disease, is well known and admitted but that every season brings its partial scourge of both these evils, to various remote and neglected dis- tricts in Ireland, has not been, what it ought long since to have been, an acknowledged and established fact in sanatory statistics of the country. Indeed, one would imagine, that after the many terrible visitations which we have had from destitution and pestilence, a legislature sincerely anxious for the health and comfort of the people, would have devoted itself, in some reasonable measure, to the humane consideration of such proper sumptuary and sanatory enactments, as would have provided not only against the recurrence of these evils, but for a more enlightened system of public health and cleanliness, and a better and more comfortable provision of food for the indigent and poor. As it is at present, provision dealers of all kinds, meal-mongers, forestallers, butchers, bakers, and huxters, combine together, and sustain such a general monopoly in food, as is at variance with the spirit of all law and humanity, and constitutes a kind of artificial famine in the country; and surely these circumstances ought not to be permitted, so long as we have a deliberative legislature, whose duty it is to watch and guard the -health and moials of the people. —Carieton, in Dublin University Magazine.

BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. C Be/ore Mr. Commissioner Stevenson.) Re WILLIAM HESRY SMITH.—In this case the Bankrupt, who is a Barrister at Law, and had been a proprietor of a news- paper at Swansea, where he had at his own expense established Water Works, from the establishment of which he dated his embarrassments, last week applied for his certificate. His honor having postponed the case to Friday, for the purpose of considering his judgment. At the sitting of the Court, Mr. n, Coles, solicitor, who appeared for the bankrupt, ten- dered several affidavits to contradict certain of the statements of the two witllesses wiw had been called from the gaming- houses. Mr. H. W. King, who appeared for Messrs. Young, to oppose, objected to the affidavits being brought into Court at so late a stage of the proceedings, and contended that if his honor re- ceived them, they ought to be allowed copies, and time afforded to make replications to them. Ilis Honor said he would accept the affidavits, provided co- pies were served Ull the other sille, and an opportunity given them to answer them, Mr. R. Coles said, that as the bankrupt was most anxious to obtain his certificate, he would withdraw them. Ilis Honor then gave judgment as follows — The principal grounds of opposition to the allowance of the bankrupt's certiticate are—1st, that he has lost "in one day i-O and upwards, and this on several occasions,—any one instance of which would, under the 38th sec. of the 5th and 6th Vic., c. 122, not only disentitle him to his certificate, but render it void, even if obtained. And, secondly, that the bankrupt has been in the habit of frequenting amI playing at gambling houses, and that such conduct on his part, as a trader, if not sufficient to induce the Court to refuse his certificate, is a sufficient ground for suspending it. In support of these objections two witnesses have been examined, upon whose testimony and upon the examination of the bankrupt, and a letter produced,.and admitted to be from him, and in his hand- writing, and addressed to a Mr. Clarke, these objections are left for my decision. I will, in the first place, proceed to advert to this letter, in which are contained clear admissions of two distinct losses by the bankrupt, which would be suffi- cient to disentitle him to his certificate under the section befor.. referred to, provided it is to be held to apply to such Josses at any time prior to the period when the bankrupt was in trade, or even contemplated entering into trade, a point adverted to ill the argument Oil the part of the bankrupt, and upon which 1 entertain cunsiderable doubt, These losses are shown and admitted to have taken place in the year 1839, long before the commencement of tile bankrupt's trading, (which was in 1843.) and, aba, it is presumed, long before any cuntemplation of such trading. This section, (which, itl this respect, corresponds with the 130th section of the statute 6 Geo. 4, c. Ili,) is cer- tainly not in terms restricted to any period, when the money is to be lost, except as to the amount in one day, or the total amount within one year next preceding the bankruptcy. But considering that this provision is of a penal nature, and should, therefore, be strictly construed, and the great hardship and in- justice which would follow npon extreme cases to whieh the section would apply, if held to extend to any distant period and considering that such acts on the put of a bankrupt, when committed by him before his trading or any contemplation of trading are not actually in fraud of or contrary to the general policy of the bankrupt laws, I do not think it would be going too far to construe this section to be restricted to losses which have taken place since those periods, nor do I think that the provisions at the conclusion of the Act 5 and 6 Vic. viz., "That it should be construed in the most beneficial manner for pro- moting the benefit of the creditors, and the ends thereby intended," at all militates against this construction, inasmuch as the section in question is quite personal to the bankrupt, and from which, under any construction, no benefit can be derived. I have not been able to fil1l1 any case 011 this subject, or indeed any observation itl any of the books relative to it. Bnt the decisions upon the 8th section of the Act 1 James 1, c. 15, that a conveyance to any child or other person in the terms of that section, made previous to the party being in trade, is not within the Act, (see Lilly v. Osborne, 3 P. Wms. 2JS, and Crisp 11. l'ratt, Cro. Car. 518.) are, 1 think, strongly in favour of the construction contended for. Upon the whole, therefore, and considering that the period, as to the construction of the 38th section is at least very doubtful, I do not feel myself called upon tu refuse this bankrupt's certificate, on the ground of any loss by gaming which has occurred previous to the, year 1 g. when his trading commenced. The next point for consideration is, as to any loss by the bankrupt, by gaming, since the commence- ment of his trading, to the amount provided for by the 38th section and on this part of the case I have felt considerable anxiety, there being no appeal, as I apprehend, from my deci- sion ill case 1 should refuse the certificate. It is on thi;¡.¡rourd that I consider the testimony in support of the losses by the bankrupt of specific amounts and at particular period:" should be not merely sufficient to counterbalance any eddence to tlw contrary, but should be of that undoubted and satisfactory nature, as t,) carry with it a positive conviction that there has been a violation of the section in question; and that if the evidence olfered to show this violation does not go to this extent, I.ought not to refuse the certificate, and therehy preclude the bankrupt from any opportunity of disproving such evidence, which he haù not, ullder the peculiar circumstances of thLs case, a fair chance of doing. Taking this view of the extent to which the evidence should go to justify such refusal, I have, after mature and anxious consideration of the testimony of the two witnesses (,x;lmined, arrived at the condusioll t11at the evidence offered is not sufficient for the purpose and, to use the lan >-ua"e of Lord Eldon, in ex parte Kennett, 1 Hose. :;31, th:tt as it does not clearly appear that there 1us bePll a violathn of the 1aw on this subject, 1 ought not by refusing the certificate to with. hold an opportunity of having it tried by a jury. Lastly, with respect tJ the remaining objection, namely, the habit of the bankrupt in friHIuenting and playing at gambling-houses, which objection must of coune be restricted to t'wse instances which have occurred since the bankrupt commenced trading. Such conduct in a trader is unùoubtedly one which calls fur "the cen- sure of the Court, and would be a ground at all events for the suspension of his certificate. To constitute snch an offence there ought to be clear evidence of frequent instances of gaming now the only admission on the part of the bankrupt on this subject, is that he has been in one or twù club-houses since the 1st of January. 1843, butnothowo:ten; the only evi(lenc¡>, therefore, on this subject, rests UpOll the testimony of the witnesses referred to, which I have already considered as not being sufficiently satisfactory to induce me tv refuse the certificate upon other grounds. I have therefore so far come to the conclusion, upon the whole, of at once granting the bank- rupt his certificate. Mr. Coles, after his honor had given judgment, tendered several testimonhls tv the Court, with the view of showing that in the mode of contracting his debts, the bankrupt's honour and general integrity of conduct was unimpeached, and that his having failed tCJ meet his engagements was owin" to adverse circumstances oae of sllch testiruoûials signed by all the bankrupt's creditors resident at Swansea, (except three whose signatures could not be obtained, III consequence of their ab- sence from home), we subjoin. "To the Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy for the Bristol District. We the undersized Creditors of William Henry Smith, Ksq., Barrister at Law, are resident in Swansea and its neighbourhood, and have been acquainted wtth Mr. Smith for nearly 15 years, during which period he has resided amongst us. We respectfully represent to your honourable Court that we attrijjUte his present pecuniary embarrassments to the establisjjnjeut of the Swansea Water Works, an undertaking which was executed entirely upon his own resources and credit, aPocl that the unfortunate position in which he is now placed has, in no degree diminished our confidence in his honour and integrity of conduct. "We are satisfied that he has long struggled and made every effort in his power to fulfil his pecuniary engagements with us, and we believe that ultimately he would have been enabled to do so if the circumstances of the arrest in August, 1845, and consequent destruction of his prospects had not occurred. "Entertaining those friendly sentiments towards Mr. Smith, we are desirous of respectfully addressing them to the considera- tion of your honourable court. Another of such testimonials signed by upwards of 100 persons,—Magistrates, Aldermen, Town Councillors, Merchants, and Tradesmen of the town of Swansea, was expressive of their esteem and grateful remembrance of the benefits the bankrupt had conferred on their town, by establishing the Water Works, which led to his pecuniary difficulties. ° Mr. Coles also tendered a letter lately received by the bankrupt from the Commanding Officer under whom he served when in the Army, stating the great pleasure the writer had in testifying to the bankrupt's conduct as a gentleman and an officer, and particularly so at the Battle of W aterloo. His Honor, however, said that as the matter might come before him again judicially, he could not look at the testimo- nials.

WHAT ROME OFFERS FOR THE NEWMANITES.— They must make their pravers to God in the names and at the altars of the saints, and thus have many Saviours and many crosses instead of one. Ignorance and superstition, the fetters of the mind, are highly prized in the communion where they have gone Money there can be paid for sins, and a price can be narDed for the commission of any act, which is very different from the priceless blood of the Redeemer for the sins of the world. Purgatory there is a bank of usury for man's merits, and out of these pretended and all unprofitable things a human dis- pensation is framed for the pardon of sin, which overthrows the truth of eternal condemnation in one state, and makes the judge to have more than one left hand at the last day. They must place their hearts with all its secrets, known best and only to God, in the keeping of another man's knowledge, who is often inferior in delicacy and mind to the penitent. The absolution we can give is rational, and founded on the volun- tary act of contrite confessioll as a separate sinner, without payment. Whereas in Rome, the penance is the price of the absolution, and the desire of the cleansing the soul withont a change of heart, by the mere act of verbal confession, leads to intolerable abuses, and a repetition of crime, There every- thing is sold for money, and you may know the price of par- don for the deepest vice, and ransom the most costly of all things, the human soul, as well as buy a string of trumpery beads on which to say your prayers. They unite themselves to a church which parades the relics of the dead as visible memorials of good and holy men before the eye, with all the pomp and circumstantialities of a real spiritual being who is supposed to be present by the ignorant, 1n dust, and ashes, and limber, and nails. They give up their wives and bastardise their children, if they retain their holy ordera in Rome Are the wives of the English clergy prepared tho-) to brand them- selves with dishonour, and stigmatise their offspring? Shall the most exclusive of all rituals in the church command the priesthood to be married, and in defiance of common I sense and the New Testament, and the example of St. teeter and other apostles, will a childish affection for the religious seductions of a pompous litual induce English women thus to embarrass their position and family affections. Hollings- worth's Folly of going to Rome for a RelIgIOn. MANNING THE NAVY.— We are glad to perceive that the present Board of Admiralty have resolved to adopt measures to obviate the difficulty of procuring seamen for vessels fitting for sea. The Secretary to the Ad- miralty has already announced that a plan is under the consideration of the Board, by which it is expected to realise this object, and in the meantime, in order that the seamen aheady in Her Majesty's service may not be lost to it when their respective ships are paid off, the following circular has been issued from the Admiralty, dated Sept. 1,1846:— In all future cases, when any of Her Majesty's ships are about to be paid off, their lordships desire that it may be dis- tinctly explained to the men that, if they choose to continue in the service, they may have a month or six weeks leave of absence, during which time their time and pay will go on, and that they will be at liberty to join any of her Majesty s ships fitting out at any of the ports upon their return from such leave. Their lordships further desire, that every facility may he gi en to the men to deposit their hammocks, clothes, Sic., in the dockyards, duriug their duty on shore, in the manner prescribed by their memorandum dated April 13, 1842, the object of which their lordships desire may be fully impressed upon the men, and the regulation strictly attended to.

"A STitEXCHEit."—It is reported that an India-rubber bridge has been ordered by the American Government to be constructed for the use of the army in Mexico. PROFITS OF PUNCII."—It was stated in the examin- ation of a bankrupt of the name of Mayhew, who is wel known in the literary world, that the profits of Punch were estimated at JE10,000 a year. The bankrupt claimed £ 1,000 from the estate of the Iron Times, for one year's salary in lieu of notice. According to recent arrivals in the way of news from South America, there is much talk of a silver mine lately discovered, by a watchmaker, at Corocoro, in Bolivia. Its ore is said to contain an unusually large proportion of silver; and it is anticipated that this mine will surpass in value the far-famed ones ofPotosi. DREADFUL DEATH.—Some days ago, while a man was clearing a lime-kiln at Harfleur, while the lime was still hot, the vault gave way, and buried him under it. His cries were heard for a quarter of an hour before death put an end to his sufferings. When his body was got out it was almost entirely calcined. The town of Glosgaw, situate in the circle of Rzeswow, in Austrian Gallicia, has just been entirely destroyed by fire. Out of 000 inhabitants, which the place contained, more-than 50U have been rendered houseless, and reduced to the utmost distress. The talented and indefatigable inventor of the screw propeller, Mr. F. P. Smith, has received an official appointment from the Admiralty to superintend at all the establishments under the Admiralty the fitting of the screw machinery in all vessels fitted with the screw pro- peller. An Admiralty circular has been issued to all the dock- yards, and to the officers in command of Her Majesty's ships, stating that their Lordships have determined to grant 2d class engineers an increase of pay, in lieu of instruction money, which they have been in the habit of receiving for apprentices. CRICKIJT.—The match between eleven of the All England players and eighteen of the Manchester Club, was brought to a close on Saturday week. In the two innings the Manchester players only made 19i notches, while in one innings only the All England scored 228. The local club, therefore, with two innings, were beaten by the All England players, with one innings, by thirty- one notches. NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS.—Assuredly they are a curious class; but we have seldom received a richer communication than the following, which we print verbatim et literatim :—" Sir,—When I send you any thing I should Like you to print it nearly the same and not to do as you did respecting the anncversity of the odd fellows Such blunders is not approved off."—Not• tingl/flm Journal- It is reported, and, we hear, generally believed in Bristol, that the Clifton Suspension Bridge is at last about to be completed by the parties, or company, who erected the hideous piers that now deform the magnificent scenery of St. Vincent's rocks. MELONS.—Water and sweet melons are daily offered in Adelaide, South Australia, in the greatest perfection at from Is. 6d. to 2s. per clVt. A remarkable circumstance is mentioned by the Glasgow Courier" as having occurred to a gentleman of that city, while bathing at Ardentinny. The gentle- man in question, while swimming at some distance from the shore, was suddenly attackeù by It large Medusa or Galley Fish, which so clogged his movements that he was in imminent danger of being drowned, and it was with difficulty he disencumbered himself so far as to ad- mit of his diving, by which he freed himself for the moment from his unwonted assailant. Unfortunately, however, on rising to the surface, he again came in contact with the animal, which this time began to sink along with him, and had it not been for the assistance of a fisherman, the result mii5ht very possibly have been fatal. As it was, he was for some time confined to bed, and is still suffer- ing from the feverish effect produced by the stings received in hi.. strange encounter. A correspondent informs us that there is a labourer now employed upon the. railway works at Ely who was once tried and convicted of highway robbery, and was sentenced to be hanged. The morning arrived for his execution; he was placed under the fatal beam, and as the Clergyman commenced his melancholy office, the poor fellow protested his innocence. Just as the execu- tioner was about to launch him into eternity," a man was perceived at a distance galloping furiously, holding up a piece of uaper-it was a reprieve! In ten minutes the horse died from exhaustion. The sentence was com- muted to transportation for life. At the expiration of ten years and nine months, the prosecutor in the case being upon his death-bed, sent for the mayor of the to -vn, and told the dreadful tale that at the time when he swore he had been robbed of a large sum by the man in ques- tion, he had the money in his own pocket, having been led to this atrocious crime by feelings of revenge! Shortly after this acknowledgment he died. The accused was sent for, a free pardon granted him, and £1;; given him by government, on his arrival at home. A person, the other day, asked him how he felt when he was under the gallowshe replied, I didn't care so very much about it, because I knew I was innocent."—Bury and Norwich Post. THE MILITIA.—The following communication, which was issued from the War-office on Wednesday, Sept. 9, will put at rest, at all events for the present, any further speculation and excitement regardiug the embodying of the militia. What the intentions of the present Govern- ment may be with regard to the future it is impossible to say but the fact that nothing can occur until the next meeting of Parliament should be generally known. The letter dated 9th Sept., and signed by Mr. Fox Maule, Deputy Secretary-at-War, proceeds thus:—"With re- ference to the circular communications from the War- office, dated "2.'}d May and 27th June last, on the subject of re-organising the staff of the — Regiment of Militia under your command, I have the honour to acquaint you that it is not intended at present to take any further mea- sures for revising the laws relating to the militia, nor for assembling that force for training and exercise. I have, therefore, to request that, in all cases where any sergeant belonging to the corps under your command shall have been admitted to the out-pension list, you will he pleased to suspend the filling up of this vacancy, and also any vacancies which might have existed from other causes on the reduced establishment of the staff, until the course to be taken by Her Majesty's Government in reference to the Militia shall have been further considered." THE BUTCHER AND THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—One day last week, a rough-spun country butcher, whose tra- velling companion was a dog, took a ticket at one of the stations on the Midland Riilway, for Birmingham. It was shortly afterwards ascertained by the oIKcials that he had a dog in the carriage with bim. On being remonstrated with, and told that he must pay for the d"g, he refused, and a regular row commenced, in the course of which the butcher got out of the carriage, and the dog followed. Here the disturbance was renewed, and the war grew fiercer, when all of a sudden, the train started. The butcher, forgetting his indignation at (he parties, turned round and jumped into his place again, followed by the dog. The train went on, the burly rnan of beef, laughing as though his ribs would crack at having" done the beg- gars," told the whole affair to the passengers with glee, and concluded hy saying that they might "tallyscope" about him, he didn't care he had done 'em, and they couldn't tell 'em at Birmingham before he got there, he was sure. On the train arriving at its destination, a gentleman in a blue buttoned-up-to-the-throat livery, with trousers, and sundry hieroglyphics on his collar, touched the butcher on the shoulder, and said, "Sir, you have a dog with you, for which the fare has not been paid; you must either fob out the needful, or I take you into custody." The tallyscope, as the butcher called it, had arrived at Birmingham first, and the poor fellow's feeliugs may be better imagined than described. —Nottingham Mercury. DREADFUL MURDER NEAR TEIGNMOUTII.—For some time past the neighbourhood of the river Teign has been the scene of many robberies of sheep, poultry, potatoes, &c. A short time since, Mr. Rendell ofCoomberntergnhead lost a sean, which be afterwards found in pieces, and used for snaring his own rabbits. These repeated depredations led to increased watchfulness, in order to detect the offenders, and additional men were placed particularly in the neigh- bourhood of Haccombe, the seat ot Sir Walter Palk Carew, Bart. (High Sheriff of the County), in order if possible to prevent poaching. On the night ot baturday last, Festus Harris, gamekeeper, and James Norman, gardener ot Sir W. Carew, were on the watch, and ascertained that poach- ers were in the grounds, they called to their assistance six other persons, amongst whom were Mr. Robert Rendell, of Netherton, and William Setter, of Coombeiuteignhead. The party met in afield called Blendfield, between 11 and 12 at night, and surrounded the place where the poachers were. Mr. Rendell and Setter went to the gate of Kiln Field, and whilst there heard the rest call out "Gate," a signal previously arranged. They perceived some one running towards them, with a gun In his hand; and on approaching within a few paces, they discovered that it was a man named Henry Warren. They ran into the field, and Warren raised his gun as if to fire. Mr. Rendell called out "You'd better not tirebut immediately War- ren fired at Setter, and without taking the gun from his shoulder discharged the other barrel at Mr. Rendell. The shot passed by the side of Mr. Rendell's head, but the aim at Setter was more deadly; he received the whole contents in his body, causing a wound two inches in length, from which the bowels protruded, and from the effects of which he lingered until Sunday afternoon, when be expired at the house of Mr. Elias Rendell, of Buckland, where he had been taken immediately after the occurrence.—On a sub- sequent examination of the body, a number ot small-size shots were found, lacerating most frightfully the liver, and injuring the bone. The surgeon also found a piece of the deceased's watch chaio, which had been carried into the wound. The prisoner was, after a scuffle, secured by Mr. Rendell, and on Monday taken before H. Cartwright, Esq., who, (with the assistance ojj Mr. Flamank,) having taken the depositions of the various witnesses and that of the dyiug man, committed him to take his trial at the next Assizes, for Wiltul Murder," and also for shooting at Mr. Rendell. He said to Mr. Rendell, when in custody, be was very sorry he had done it, and he wished his gun had broken in pieces when first he took it in his hand. The prisoner's mate, who was out with him, has been also committed to gaol, on the charge of poaching. There was some fear of a rescue by the railway labourers, and it was therefore deemed expedient to send the men to the County Prison on Sunday, where they were lodged for safe custody for the night. On Monday morning they were taken back to Newton, and the depositions completed; and being then fully committed, were again lodged in the County Gaol on Monday night. FESTIVITIES AT WYNNSTAY.—SirWatkin W. Wynnhas had a large party staying at the above seat—the Earl and Coimtess of Powis and Lady Lucy Herbert, the Earl of Bradford and Ladies Lucy and Charlotte Bridgeman, Viscount and Viscountess Villiers, Viscount Clive, Lady Lyndhurst and Hon. Miss Copley, Lord and Lady Dela- mere, Lady Harriet Clive and Misses Clive, Horn Cap- tain Hprbert, &c. The archery meeting took place on Friday, when the competition was very spirited. A sumptuous entertainment was given by the worthy baronet to nearly 30¡' personages of rank and the gentry of the neighbouring counties. A ball succeeded, and it was nearly 3 o'clock when the festivities were brought to a close. Weippert's band was engaged. The circle was to separate Monday. DUDLEY.—The iron trade continues in an improving state, and orders are plentiful. There is some talk of advancing prices, but as yet it is mere talk, and there is no doubt the body of iron-masters will act cautiously. An advance must certainly be expected sooner or later— that is only a question of time. Our foreign trade is increasing, which, added to the amazing quantity of iron that will be wanted the next few years to meet railway demands in this country, causes the inquiry often to be made, where the supply is to come from and unless a panic, or something extraordinary, occurs to blight the prospects that are before us, iron must necessarily rise in price. The coal trade, being so intimately connected with the manufacture of iron, is of course brisk, and the demand for i ron-stone is very great, HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—ABadLegand cure extraordinary. —Mrs. Jackson, a monthly nurse, residing at 30, Stanhope-street, Clare-market, had a bad leg of a most desperate and alarming nature; indepen- dent of every other bad symptom attending the limb, it swelled most alarmingly, and was likewise accompanied with great inflammation, which made her case one of extreme danger she was taken to King's College H os- pital, where they could do nothing with it. The leg, however, like "thousands of others" which are given up as incurable at the hospitals, was soundly healed in about a fortnight by the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills. QUICK PROCESS OF BREWING.—A most valuable inven- tion has lately been brought into operation on a large scale, by which the process of family brewing is rendered so simple and easy that all lovers of home brewed ale may avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded them, of preparing ale of the very finest quality and of any desired strength. Instead of purchasing the malt and hops in their usual state, they may now be had in a liquid form, that is a Concentrated Extract of the Malt and Hops, a thick syrup of a bitter sweet taste. It easily dissolves in hot water in any large open vessel, the yeast skimmed off, and barrelled, to prepare an excellent ale fit to drink in a week or two. To farmers as well as persons of limited means, and all who require a more delicate and pure beverage than is usually offered them under the as- sumed name of a/e/this economical process of brewing affords remarkable advantages, and will no doubt be extensively patronized. DEFECT OF THE LAW.—At the late Chester assizes, Ephraim Quarmby was sentenced to transportation for life for a rape. As only five days elapsed between the commission of the offence and his trial, lie had no time to prepare a defence or to summon witnesses. The result was his conviction and sentence. Since his trial eleven respectable witnesses have voluntarily come forward and sworn positively that at the very time the crime was per- petrated he was in Manchester. A petition, with the depositions of those witnesses, has been forwarded to the Home Office. The supposition is that the conviction was the result of mistaken identity.

Flour fully maintained last week's prices. The picked samples of malting barley maintain last week's prices, but all other descriptions are Is. per qr. lower. Beans and grey peas aie unaltered in value white peas scarce, and 2s. per qr dearer. The arrivals of oats are small, and the maiket tiffn at fully the prices of this day se'uuight.

Nearly the wholo found buyers at late rates. Fruin our graziug districts, the arrival of beasts wai somewhat on the increase, but of middling quality; altogether the bullock supply was large. Prirnt1 Scots, &c., moved off steadily, at last week's q.iota- tin ts but. in som instances, the vallie of the inferior breeds ha I a dowii'Vartl tendency, aud a clearance of such was with difficulty effected. The droves from the northern districts comprised 1,800 short-borns fiom tne eastern cou ities, 300 Scuts, short-horns, &c.; from the western and midland dis- tricts, 900 Hereford*, runts, Oevons, and from other p irts of Kngland, ôUO of various breeds. The numbers nf sheep were a^iin seasonably extensive; yet the mlltton trade was very steady, alld last Monday's currencies were readily supported. In lainbs-the number of which were good-a. filii average amount of business was transtcted, at late rates. The veal trade was steady, at full prices. t'igs moved off steadily, at our qu nations.
