1&&XIK.ZTS. LOXDONT —JANUARY 17, 1848. There was a good supply of wheat, by laud carriage samples, from Essex and tiiis witli a fair quantity of bar], y and beans, bat a moderate delivery 0. peas from all tHe near counu. s, and the .iesn arrivals of oats from our own coa-t, Scotland, and Ireland were not large. There have been moderate ;J3portations of foreign wheat, with a few cargoes of other articles of the trade since this day se'nnight After two nights of sharp whitt ost since Fr.dtiy, we ,.ave another udden change in th. eather, and the wind being round to t::e south, rain is once more threatened. The wiicat on sale this morning being much affected by the alteration in the weath -r, the millers bought very cautiously, and even the best samples must be quoted is. to per quarter lo.ver, whilst the decline on damp and inferior parcels was 28, to 3s p- r quarter, and th -se v.vre taken slowly. Foreign wheat was held OIl former terms, which checked the demand. Fiour was without any alteration in price or demand. The best qualities of malting barley real- ised former terms, wi;h a stead)' sale, but other sorts were taken in limited quantity. Malt was much the same as last week. B,>a,Js were in fair request, and all good samples commanded previous prices Peas were quite as dear. Tiii-re was a moderat- Iv fair d, mand for oats at tiie full juices of this day se'nnight for all de- scriptions. Linse.-d and tapeseed were quite as dear. In tares not much was pass'.a if; the general demand j has not yet come. For cluvers*-ed we ha e had rather I more enquiry as well as for the better sorts of trefoil, and prices are the 'urn higher for really choice samples.

Town -i0 48 I Country 38 41 I CATTLE AND MEAT. j During the last week the imports of foreign stock I into London were very small, as underBeasts, 85; sheep, 1123; calves, 27. At the outports, the arrivals have not exceeded 700 head; but the quality of both beasts an i sheep has been verv superior to some pre- vious importations. Tiie numbers of foreign stock on show this morning were very small, viz., about 90 oxen and cows, and 4UO sheep from Holland as also 28 oxen from Spain, the larger portion of which sold at some- what drooping prices, notwithstanding the general qua- lity of both beasts and sheep was tolerably good. From our large grazing- districts, the arrivals of beasts fresh up to-day by drilt" and railway were seasonably ex- tensive, but by no means of prime qualify. Although the uttendance of both town and country buyers was a full average one, the beef trade, arising principally from the unfavourable state ot the weather for slaugh- tering, was in a very sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations of from id. to, in some instances, 4d per 81b. At the '-lose of business, a total clearance, of the infe- rior breeds had not been effected; and we may observe that the highest general figure for the best Scots— though some were disposed of at 4s. lorf.—did not ex- ceed 4*. 8u. per fclb. The arrivals of beasts from the north consisted of about 7.50 sliorthoris; from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 1200 Herefords, runts, Devons, Scots, Irish be.i.-ts, and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of sheep were moderately extensive, and of fair average quality. On th whole the mutton trade was firm, but tar from brisk, at prices about equal to those paid on Monday last the best old Duwns selling at 5s 2d. to 5s. Ad. per 8ib. Very few calves were on show; yet the veal trade was in a very sluggish state, and prices had a downward tendency. Prime small porkers were quite as dear; otherwise, the pork tiade was heavy, at late rates. d. d. I II. d. I, if 3 2 4 8 CV.veu -1 4 3 "he..p 3 6 5 4, Pigs 4 0 5 a Lamb. 0." 0 t. :> 01.. W C >11!

There lia3 been a liberal import of wheat, oats, flour and oatmeal form Ireland this week, with a fair quan- tity of wheat from Ruesif! ports, nnd of beans from Alexandria. Since last 1 > laj- our grain trade has been exceedingly quiet, and where sales have been ef- fected i:i thn leading articles, —wheat, flour, oats, and Indian corn,—lower rattr- have been submitted to. At to-day's market there was a o-ood attendance of town and neighbouring- millers, who bought to a mod* rately fair extent at 4d per bushel on new and 3d. per bushel on old wheat from last Tuesday's rates. Flour also was Is. per barrel lower, 29,v. per barrel beinc taken foi the beat Western Canal. Oats were Id, per bushel, beans and Indian corn earh fully Is. per quarter cheaper, but the demand has increased with the decline in price. Barley was unaltered in value.

FARMERS' AND GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. THE SHEEP POX; ITS CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION, AND CURE. The following has been addressed by J. Stanley Carr, Esq., to the President and Council of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, of which he is a member. After a few introductory remarks he thus proceeds: The Sheep-pox is well known in Germany, appearing occasionally in different and widely separate localities, and as its ravages are both great and rapid, its treat- ment has deservedly occupied an important place in the writings of theorists, as well as in the careful at- tention of sheep-owners. The result has proved the benefit of such pains-taking observation; for, although the malady was formerly very common in Bohemia, yet at present, when more care is bestowed on the tendance and nourishment of the flocks, it has become niuch more rare, making only occasional outbreaks in different seasons and districts,—more especially in deep-lying', moory, swampy soils (or such as are subject to be flooded), AMI where the generation of miasma is facilitated AND fostered by a warm climate. In healthy, TIRY situations, where the sheep-houses are suitably constructed, and the pastures of sound quality, there is little ground for apprehending aspontaneous occurrence of the sheep-pox, which, though highly infectious, is not generally regarded as epidemic. It strongly re- sembles, indeed, in all its stages, the small-pox, as ex- hibited in the human subject, and is found to yield to the same remedy. Like the small-pox, too, it occurs in two varieties—the mild and harmless, and the ma- lignant and deadly. The first symptoms of incipient taint are, loss of appetite, swollen eyelids, A somewhat staggering gait, and slight fever. Close examination will easily detect an unusual redness of the skin, and after the lapse of three or four days, small, raised, purple spots may be discovered on the parts where there is least wool—(as inside the thighs, under the shoulders, and on the head)—generally about one- eighth of an inch in diameter, surrounded by a red ring, and flattened in the centre. These fill by degrees with a thin, transparent lymph, which, in process of time, assumes the nature of matter (pus), at which stage of development the animal appears relieved, and, lastly, the pustules dry into a scab and fall off. Such is the progress of the mild variety. When, however, the disease appears in a malignant form—and which, unhappily, is the more frequent occurrence—the pulse becomes increasingly rapid, the mouth dry and hot, the breath fetid, and the eyelids, and even head, so much swollen, that the creature can scarcely be re- cognised. The pustules, being very numerous, become confluent, and form a mass of matter, which, especially in warm weather, is apt to assume a putrid character, degenerating into malignant ulcers, by which the poor animal is rendered blind, lame, or loses parts of the lips, and is at length carried off by violent diarrhoea. In such sad circumstances, the certain destruction of the greater part of the flock may be anticipated; and as remedies, whether external or internal, can avail no- thing in those advanced stages of the disease, the only hope of saving those less affected is at once to kill the leprous sheep—thus freeing the others from their pes- tiferous exhalations—and to bury the carcasses, wool and all, in some far-isolated spot. Previously, how- ever, to things having reached such extremity, the at- tendance of a skilful and intelligent veterinary surgeon may be successful in warding off the catastrophe from at least a proportion of the flock. But as in no case the proverb, Prevention is better than cure,' can be found more pointedly applicable than in relation to the sneep-pox, I strongly recommend all sheep-owners who hear of this frightful scourge having appeared in their neighbourhood, or who, from living near thoroughfares by which imported sheep are accustomed to be driven, have reason to anticipate the possibility of their sound flocks coming into casual contact with strange, perhaps infected, animals, or the ground which such have passed over, to lose no time in adopting the safe, easy, and often-tested antidote against this justly dreaded disease, which inoculation affords them. Ibis is practised in two ways either regularly from year to year on the lambs, as a preventive of natural sheep-pox, in localities where the disease was formerly of frequent occurrence or it is resorted to occasion- ally, when the malady has shown itself in the vicinity, or even in one's own flock (for the premonitory symp- toms are always such as must attract the notice of a careful shepherd), and an immediate resort to inocula- tion will not only generally rescue nine-tenths of the still unaffected sheep from all dangerous attacks, but often lighten the disorder to even those individuals of the flock on which symptoms of disease had already manifested themselves. As practice justly weighs more with Englishmen than theory, however plausible, I shall here shortly relate my own experience of the sheep-pox, and the result of inoculation both as a pre- ventive and curative remedy. About seven years ago, I heard of the disease having appeared in this neighbourhood, and jresolveJ at W--Q to try inoculation, of the good effects of which I had both read and heard from credible sources, (in close examination of the flock a few sheep were found to be already infected. These were, however, along with all the others, lambs included, inoculated in the ear, in conformity with the published recommendation of the Austrian Government in Bohemia, and the result was in the highest degree satisfactory, as we did not lose above one per cent. of sheep, and six per cent. of lambs. I cannot now recall to mind, whether any of those evidently infected before inoculation died or not; but 1 know all did not; and particularly remember that several South Down ewes, which I had shortly before IMPORTED from England, and about which I na- SALLY felt very solicitous, had the disease so strongly as to LOSE part of their ears, yet not one of them died, The inoculation plan was equally successful with many of my tenants, who followed my example and urgent but in another village on this estate, where the peasants, from a dislike to novelties, suffered the contagion to take its course, there was not, to the best of my recollection, a single sheep left alive. For the sake of distinctness, I shall now proceed to O<FTE MO<'E' the most favourable time for, and the tiv'T EFFT'CTS of, inoculation, when it has been effec- E y operated, as well as some rules to be observed in 16' tieatnient of the inoculated animals. 1 "J Inoculation.—Where yearly inoculation is TIN^TLSEF'' 'S ^T0"1!Y *° RESERVE A stock of iuocula- G.materials from one year to another, always taking particular care to obtain it from individuals which have nth ]T,LSFAS<! A mild form, and which are apparently N wise in a sound state of health. In cases of sud- en emeigeney, arising from already existing or dreaded M T etion, the inoculating virus must of course be pro- cuiet UITII all possible dispatch, yet with as careful se- lection as to mildness of form as circumstanccs will permit. If the inoculation be only precautionary, a \eiy sma quantity of lymph wiil suffice to inoculate 8 LEEP, which must be immediately severed from the rest, to prevent the disease being conveyed by con- TACI, and thus introducing a natural sheep pox, which, like its convener in THE human subject, is always more viiulent than the artificially produced. From these first inoculated, a supply of good healthy lymph will be obtained for inoculating the remainder of the flock. The places best suited for the operation are the inner side of the flap of the ear, or the under part of the tail, close to the root. The instrument employed is a kind of needle made for the purpose, with a fine, somewhat flattened point, which, having been dipped in the virus, is carefully inserted between the upper and second skin, cautiously avoiding piercing so deeply as to draw blood, which is found to render the success of inocula- tion less certain. Of course, in the absence of such a needle, a lancet will answer the purpose. l'imejiw Inoculating.—The most favourable season for yearly inoculation is late in the spring, or early in the autumn, say the latter half of April or from the beginning of September to the middle of October. In cases of feared infection there is unhappily no room for choice. Effects of InOClllatiOlI.- When the operation has proved effectual, sym; toms of fever appear about the fourth or sixth day the inoculated parts become red, and throw out pustules, which, on the ninth or tenth day, will be found filled with a thin transparent lymph, which is then fit to be used as inoculating virus. As, however, even with the utmost care, many animals do not take the infection by the first inoculation, it is re- quisite to examine the whole flock after the lapse of six or seven days from the date of the first operation, and to inoculate a second time wherever the first has proved abortive. Treatment of the Sheep oftn. InMVlation.—1st. Care must be taken to provide them with airy and roomy stabling, so as to prevent them as much as pos- sible crowding together which is very apt to induce a malignant state of the disease, even when at ffrst dis- posed to assume a mild form. 2nd. It is absolutely necessary to keep them care- fully guarded against cold, and especially thorough draughts. 3rd. Although, during warm and dry weather, both of the above-mentioned evils are avoidable, by placing the sheep during the daytime IN A DL.V} SHELTERED, and not too distant paddock still it mus.t 'he remembered, that exposure to rain, dew, or fog- would prove highly dangerous to them. iey must therefore be housed at night, and when housed fed, in addition to good hay. with coarse meal, some of which ought also to be mixed with the water they get to drink. 0 If all the foregoing measures have been adopted, and the disease appear in a mild form, internal medicine may be entirely dispensed with. Should, however, symptoms occur which render it desirable, the following 1 powder may be advantageously administered Take equal parts of saltpetre and sulphur, reckoning one drachm of the mixture to a dose, to which must be added, for the first three days, two or three grains of rock-salt in powder; these ingredients to be intimately incorporated with raw oatmeal, and left beside the sheep for them to lick it; after three days camphor may be substituted for rock-salt. From the time that pus begins to form in the pus- tules, as well as during their scabbing and drying off, a slight acidulation, bv means of vitriolic acid, of the water given to the sheep to drink, has been found use- ful. This summary, simple and easily practicable as it is, contains the substance of all the theories on the subject of sheep-pox on which experience has stamped the seal of approval. Precautionary measures on this side of the North Sea, for ascertaining the soundness of sheep about to be shipped could scarcely be enforced, since incipient taint may exist, an,l yet no symptom appear till drawn forth by the warmth of the hold. The sanitory cordon must therefore be drawn in Eng- land, if anywhere and it might perhaps be advisable to appoint competent persons at all sea-ports to which sheep are imported, to examine the animals on landing, and empowered, when suspicious symptoms appear in any one of a flock, to subject the whole to a week's quarantine-, during which the existence or non-existence of the sheep-pox among them must be evidenced. I would also venture to suggest, that it mi^ht be worth while to make experiment with the cow-pox on sheep, since it may possibly produce an amelioration of their disease, similar to that which the human race has de- rived from the introduction of vaccination. With the earnest desire that, meanwhile, the adoption of inocula- tion may be found as efficacious in England as it has long proved on the Continent, for the suppression of so terrible a scourge. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DURING TIIE PAST WEEK. WHEAT.—The weather having become frosty, with cold drying winds, the condition was somewhat im- proved, and although there was » fair quantity offered at Mark-lane last Monday by land carriage samples from Essex and Kent, the millers purchased more freely than of late, and the best descriptions met a fair steady sale, at the full rates of that day se'nnight, but damp parcels were attainable on rather easier terms. The attendance of country buyers was not large, neverthe- less holders were very firm in their pretensions, and the prices of the previous week were fully maintained, though purchasers merely took a sufficiency for imme- diate wants. The consumption of flour continues very great, and as the importations from America have now ceased until the spring, with scarcely any good remain- ing- in warehouse, the demand has been confined to home manufacture, and notwithstanding the good ar- rivals coastwise and per railway, prices have been fully supported for all descriptions the top quotation for town made is 48.t. per sack American would have brought 296'. per barrel.—The arrivals at Liverpool from Ireland had somewhat increased, with a few car- goes of foreign, the latter principally from the Medi- terranean ports. Although there was a rather better attendance of country buyers at the market oil Tues- day, there was very little activity in the demand not- withstanding, holders were not such anxious sellers, owing to the severe frost, and the business transacted was, on the whole, confined to a very moderate extent, at a reduction from the currency of that day se'nnight of 2d. to 3d. per 701b. for English and Irish new, and Id. to 2d. per 701b. for old foreign, which were a'<out the rates obtained the previous Friday. There were good supplies of flour, having upwards of 30JO sacks from Ireland, and 11,000 barrels from the United States. Sales could not be effected without submitting to an abatement of Is. per barrel, the top price for the best brands of Western Canal being 2Bs. (itl. per bar- rel, and sack parcels were obtainable at a similar re- duction in price.—There was a good supply from th« growers at lfull, and the condition generally good, still the transactions have been to a very limited extent, the trade ùeJtiU' confined to the millers, who purchased very sparing]y? and only for thtir immediate wants; the best dry parcels brought about last week's prices, whilst secondary and damp parcels were very difficult of disposal, at barely as much money. The arrivals of foreign were small, with very little offered for sale, and not much was expected to come to hand beyond what few vessels were on their passage; and as the stocks were not large, consisting principally of secondary des- criptions, comparatively high rates were asked, which buyers were not disposed to give, consequently the bu- siness done was to a stnall amount, having a total ab- sence of all speculation some retail srdes ef fine red Hamburg Were made at 54#. per qr. of 4801b., but the quantity remaining at that port was small.—The arri- vals at Leeds were good, the quantity reported being nearly 13,000 qrs., besides a large number of samples from vessels near at hand the trade was very slow, and only the best samples brought last week's terms, the general runs being attainable at a decline of Is. per qr.—Hitchin market was fairly supplied, and the demand was good at last week's prices.—Lewes mar- ket continued to be liberally supplied by the growers, nevertheless sales were reauily effected at the full terms of that day week.—The deliveries nt Lynn were not large, and the trade was on the whole firmer, the best dry qualities being taken at rather over previous terms, but other sorts were not higher; the top price for 63ib. red was 50-v., and white to [,N. per qr. to the grower.—There was only a moderate supply at Spald- ing, still the quality not being good, the sale was slow at a reduction of U'. Per 41' from previous terms. The arrivals of foreign at Mark-lane on Wednesday were to a fair extent, though the supplies of home grown were small the donijnd was steady, several parcels being taken fOI" ShlJHuent to the north at quite as much money, the merchants not being able to get their supplies from Li*erP°°l» owing to the smallness of the stocks held at t'*at port—Tiie growers brought forward a very large supply at Stockton-on-Tees, and the trade ruled extremely slow the best dry parcels barely supported the terms of the previous week, whilst all other descriptions receded in value Is. per qr.— There were good suppb'8 at Glasgow coastwise, with a fair arrival trom > although the market was thinly attended, holders e\ inced much firmness, and a good demand was experienced for consumption, at steady prices. Of flour the receipts were email, and having a steady inquiry^ the prices of the previous week were supported. l''e growers brought forward a large supply at Ediuburgh, at.d notwithstanding the weather was against the condition of all new parcels, the demand was good for all descriptions, at the rates of last week.—At LeUh the arrivals of foreign have al- most entirely ceased, the ieco,pts during the week be- .1 1 ing only 770 qrs.; although fiere was less activity in the trade, holders refused to accept lower terms, and the comsuinptioii coiitinallln Lu-ge, a steady sale has been experienced at the rates of the previous week; the stock of old English and foreign remaining at that port was greatly reduced. ll;e qu.u,tity offered at Boston was large, and the condition being much better than of late, the trade was more active, at a decline of 1«. per qr. from last week red to an(j white to 67.<. per qr.—A good supply was brought forward at Birmingham on Thursday, and being in poor condition, the trade was dun, aul sales could not be made with- out submitting to an abatement of iv. per qr.—The ar- rivals of English at Bristol were tolerably good, which were taken slowly, ot a reduction of l.y. to 2-<. per qr., whilst the best descriptions of foreign found a better sale, at about the currency of the previous week flour was in limited request, at a decline of Is, per sack, and (id. per barrel.—Devizes market was fairly supplied, and notwithstanding a great portion was in poor con- dition, the trade was brisk, and a good business was transacted at fully previous terms in some instances the turn was in fnvour of the seller.—The deliveries at Newbury were to a fair extent, an I the condition not being good, the trade was dull at barely previous cur- rency.—The supply brought forward at Uxbridge was in rather better condition, and a fair demand was ex- perienced at last week s terms.-—The weekly average was 53-v. lOd, on 103,222 qrs.. against 5:3. I hi', on 109,435 qrs. the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was GGs. IOd, 011 143,005 qrs.—At Mark-lane on Friday there was no material addition to the supply of English the attendance being thin, and the damp weather aftect'up the condition, the trade was very dull, but factors refused to submit to any re- duction in price. A few c>uo°es of foreign continue to drop in, principally from the Baltic ports of Russia, but these must now ahuost cease until spring ship- ments can arrive holders nunly insisting upon previ- ous terms and some large Paleels of secondary quali- ties have been taken for s )'"le,1t to Yorkshire. The stocks are supposed to be leuueed to about 450,000 qrs. at this port, consisting principally ot moderate to ordi- nary descriptions. I11 tl°ui there was but little busi- ness transacted, with scarcely any choice of American remaining in warehouse the best brands were held with firmness at Pel b!1I1^l the stock in hand is about 80,000 or 100,000 barrels, prmcip lly 0f dubi- ous or sour lots.—-phe arrn al.i at Liverpool were mo- ous or soill' lots.-T]4e al't"v derate, but there was an extiemely thin attendance, and the trade ruled ^u. ,W1., veiT little business transacted, notwithstanding would have sub- mitted to a decline of 2d, to • < • or new, and 2d. per 701b. for all description8 of old from the rates of Tues- day.

BARLEY The formers continue to thrash this article pretty freely.and,the vanous markets have been tolerably well supj)^e^ .urnI^ ,le an^ though the yield does not pr°ve 80 £ 00<I :>8 expected, still prices have receded to a comparatively low point, notwith- standing which the maltsters, as likewise the distillers, have not purchased with any freedom, and the tran- sactions have only been to a moderate extent; for choice qualities holders have generally required fully previous terms, but secondary desc-iptions have de- clined in value about Is. per quarter. Grinding samples have been in good request for feeding purposes, at quite as much money. The weekly average was 3h, 7d. on 90,128 quarters, against 318. 8d. on UJ,621 quarters the previous week; the corresponding one of the past year was 46<. 5d. on 88,714 quarters. OATS.—The supplies from our own coast have been to a tolerably fair extent, as likewise from Ireland, with a few arrivals from Scotland, whilst the importa- tions of foreign were only moderate; the dealers, as likewise the consumers, being very short in stock, showed more disposition to purchase, consequently holders displayed much firflmess, and demanded a slight advance; but although a fair sale was ex- perienced, 110 improvement in the value of any descrip- tion could be obtained. The weekly average was 20.>\ LLO. on 21,065 quarters, against 20s. 7o. on 21,7^7 quarters the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was 27a. IOd. on 41,3G7 quarters. BEANS.—OF this article the supplies brought for- ward at the various markets held during the week have not been large, and a moderately good demand has been experienced, with rather more disposition to purchase than latterly has been the case, and although no advance has been obtained, still prices have been firmly maintained for all descriptions. Egyptian have been in moderate request, still factors have firmly demanded late terms. The weekly average was 408. 8d. on 4000 quarters, against 3LI.s\ 10d. on 4123 quar- ters the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was 47, on JüQ. quarters. PEAS.—The deliveries of this article from the grow- ers during the past week have been very moderate, and having hau sharp frosts there had been an im- proved demand for all boiling qualities, and all fine samples have commanded rather higher prices, whilst for maple and hog samples a steady enquiry was ex- perienced, without alteration in the value of any sort. The weekly average was 468, on 1138 quarters, against 448. lOll. on 1344 quarters the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was 51$. 7d. on 2281 quarters. FOBISIGN GRAIN,-From the Continent the advices are generally of a firm character, with only a limited business being transacted; the frost had returned with renewed rigour, and all the Baltic ports are now closed, with a total cessation of export business for the time.— At Hamburg, Baltic wheat was held for more money, but buyers would not utlCI- more than 45-V. for 02 to 63 lb.; for the Upland there were buyers at 50$., but holders required is. more.—The trade at Dantsic was dull, with only limited transactions 611b. fine high mixed from 4(), to 50$., and good mixed GO lb. from 43.v. to 45s. p. r quarter the exports to the United Ki gdom thence last year amounted to 280,0U0 quar- ters, and the stock remaining at that port at the close of the year was 30,000 quarters, but tolerably large supplies were expected next session.—BelVs Weealy Messenger.

FATAL COACH ACCIDENT.—As the Manchester and De"by mail was proceeding on its journey to the latter- place, on Saturday evening-, when near the ^THINUS of the Cromford and High Peak railway, it '\Vas overturned. There were about ten passengers in and upon the coach, none of whom were seriously in- J^RED, except a gentleman named Greensmith, of the AR'fy paper-mills, who received a severe bruise on shoulder. The coachman received such injuries 'HAT he expired the same evening1. THE LANCASHIRE BELL-KINGERS.—These exqui- performers when in Paris about two months ago, ad the honour of performing before the King and the J°YAL family at St. Cloud. Last week they made their ,8T appearance in Spain at the grand theatre of Bar- where they were received by a crowded au- dience with the most rapturous applause. Galignani ELATES a curious circumstance connected with the cus- tom laws of Spain, by which the Bell-ringers were pearly deprived of their bells and the people of the en- joyment of listening to them. It appears that the im- putation of bells is prohibited in Spain, and on this ground they were seized on crossing the frontier from 'arjce; but they were restored subsequently, after a Strong remonstrance had been made against the rigid ^"erpretation of the law by the British Consul at BARCELONA. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A rather singular Phenomenon happened in the neighbourhood of Ler- ^ICK A few days ago, and in trying to account for it the people have been a good deal puzzled. IT seems to P olle have b a kind of land-slip. The surface of a gentle decli- \'Hy, to the extent of about three hundred feet long, eighty feet wide, lias been precipitated into the below, and all arouud the ground has been cracked AND rent. The surface consisted of a pretty solid mass, ",a!! about five feet deep, and rested on a hard imper- vious bed. It would seem that the rain from the sur- face, sinking down to the hard soil, and not being able to get farther, had there softened the mass, making it •lippery and soft; but there being no roots nor rock to or retain the superincumbent mass, it then slid aWay, tossing up on their sides, oil both hands, large •MISSES of the surface, but in its main body flowing like a stream five hundred feet beyond into the bottom. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY AT PHKNTON BROOK.—Early on Monday morning- intel- ''REIIEE reached Liverpool, of the melancholy death of RJR- Ilaliwell, cash keeper to the Duke of Bridgwater's 0('k and Warehouses at Preston Brook. The parti- culars, as detailed to us, are these:—Mr. Ilaliwell had JL^EN waiting for a short time the arrival of a train from CREWE to take him to Manchester, where it was his in- tention to join a wedding party, or to meet his sister ^HO had been married a few days before. About this tinie, the Express train, which leaves this town athalf- pust six for London, was seen in the distance, and on Mr. Ilaliwell crossing from one side of the road to the Other, the engine, which no doubt, he had not antici- pated so soon, struck him on the side, and knocked him across the line. The iron guard in front of the engine caught his head, and dragged him for some dis- tance. When he was taken up his foot was found to be ^VERED, several of his ribs were fractured. The un- *°rtunate man only lived a very short time after the Chronicle. AWFFL WARNING TO GARDEN DEPREDATORS.— ^'I the night of Tuesday the inmates of the Prescot J^'IION Workhouse were alarmed, about ten o'clock, by "PARING the report of a gun discharged close to the J^INDOW of the sleeping-room of one of the porters F*R- lleathcote, the master of the house, attended by *0 or three of the servants of the establishment, FILLED themselves with pistols, and immediately sallied 0|,(h. Mr. lleathcote perceived a figure standing in of the cabbage plots, about twenty yards from J?!11* The night was dark and foggy, so that the in- "'vidual could not be clearly discerned. Mr. Heath- however, called out to know who was there ? No •ris ver was returned. Another challenge was given, by a threat that, if an answer were not ONCE given, the intruder must take the consequences, ^TILL there was no reply. Mr. lleathcote took delibe- rate aim I-nd tired. A heavy body was heard to fall, 'nd, on the parties hastening up to the spot, the body ""■"HOT of a mall-but of a poor donkey was found, J^'ICH had been shot through the bead. The animal been feasting himself on the cabbages. The first °T is supposed to have been fired for a lark. REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.—The schooner-brig Haz- Captain J. C. Pallot, and of which vessel Mr. J. UE8LANDES, jun., is owner, left Pernambuco with A »-OR London, and to call at Cork for orders on the "LH of August last. About the 24th of September NTI WHILST at sea, it was discovered that she leaked, ltult hud fully four feet of water in her hold. After the Pulril)s had been worked for five days, the leak, where- el, it was, only became worse, and she was compelled to l'UII into the nearest Irish harbour—Sneen, in the J^NMARE river. There she discharged her cargo, was "AIILED down, and strange to tell it was then discovered 'at an iron chisel, 10 inches long and 1J wide, at- J?CHED to a wooden stick of the length of about three ,*ET, HAD by sotfle means, how or when can never be ."0FFn, got into one of the pumps, and the consequence AS» the more the pump was worked the larger grew E ^OLE cut by the chisel in the vessel's bottom.

SINGULAR ELOPEMENT.—Sometime about the last and sickly days of old trembling '47, a rather VFL elopement took, place in a very pleasant and stir- little town, not many miles from Pettibo.

FULL OF LAW.—A juryman at the Usk Sessions said, at the close of a learned counsel's speech, in which a great deal of law had been expended on the hearingof the jury, that he was now so full of law, that he was very much afraid be should have hard work to keep from cheating somebody or other. A SEVERE DISAPPOINTMENT.—At the meeting of the British Association, at Oxford, the geological sec- tion made an excursion. The natives of the explored region were very much at a loss to conjecture what it all meant. The vehicles, the number and sturdy ap- pearance of some of the excursionists, and, so far as they could see, the absence of all motive for the gathering, puzzled the country people exceedingly. At last, when a party, who had fomied a circle round Dr. Buckland to hear his explanation of the sur- rounding country, had broken up and was leaving the ground, one wondering native was heard to remark to another, in a tone of severe disappointment, I say, Roger, why, if it ar'nt all over. They've broke up the ring, and there ar'nt going to bit no fight arter all. TA- I STOCK. -Du i-in, Monday night, the offices belontr to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, in this town, were broken into, and the sum of 248. Drl. stolen. Mr. Phillips, head clerk to the ofiice, dreamt on Mon- day night that his money was not secure, and so strong was the impression on his mind, that he rose at five o'clock, and went to the office, where he found every- thing in confusion. He immediately gave notice to the police, but, up to this time, the parties have not been captured. The thieves entered through the win- dow by bursting open the shutters with a block of wood, and then cut the lock of the drawer out with a saw. It appeared that they were disturbed, for, in the hurry to get away, they missed the sum of 100L, which was in an adjoining drawer.—Cornwall Ga- zette. THE LOST SHIP AVENGER.—Letters were received, on Friday, at the Admiralty, from Rear-Admiral Curtis, dated Malta, 4th January, reporting the return of the Hecate to that port, after a close but fruitless search for any survivors from the wreck of II.M. late ship Avenger, and reporting, that scarcely a vestige of that ill-fated ship could be found on the rocks and islands adjacent to the scene of wreck. No hopes are, therefore, entertained at the Admiralty of any lives being saved, excepting those of Lieutenant Rooke and the three other persons landed from the Avenger's cut- ter on the Barbary coast. TRAGICAL EVENT.—A tragical scene was enacted a few days ago at Toulon. A young married woman, who, after living for some time in adultery with a young man, and spending all his fortune, left him and connected herself with a captain of marines, whom also she abandoned for a third man, whom she believed to be rich, but who shortly became so reduced that she deserted him and returned to the captain, entreating him again to receive her into their former intimacy. On his refusal she threatened to destroy herself iu his presence, and, as he remained firm in his resolution, executed her purpose by plunging a knife which she had brought with her into her bosom, falling dead at his feet in the middle of the room. The commissary of police was sent for, and, although no doubt of the truth of the officer's statement was entertained, he was put under arrest until more formal inquiry could be taken. MONEY ORDERS.—Some idea. of the enormous num- ber of money orders issued by the various postmasters in the United Kingdom may be gathered from the fol- lowing account of the numbers granted at some of the principal offices during the last three months :-At the General Post-office there were issued during the quar- ter ending the fith January, in round numbers, about 17,000; at Edinburgh, 13,000 Dublin, 20,000; Liver- pool, 30,000; Manchester, 20,000; Birmingham. 17,000; Glasgow, 16,000; Bristol, 12,000; Hull, 10,000; Southampton, 7,000; Brighton, 10,000 Bath, 8,000. The number of orders issued in London is im- mense. There are 35 branch and receiving offices within the three-mile circle that are money-order offices, and in addition to the 17,000 issued at the General office, there were granted at the Lombard- street branch office during the last quarter as many as at the Bristol office; and at the Charing-cross branch office, as many as were granted by the Hull office at the Strand receiving-house there were granted about 7,000 at the office ill the Borough, about 5,000 and at Old Cavendish-street oiliee, about 6,000. There are also 44 London receiving-houses beyond the three-mile circle which grant and pay money orders. A PROPHETIC DREAM.—A curious story has been afloat for the last day or two in this city (says the 4 Bath Herald,') which has taken the following shape —A professional gentleman residing in Bath, having been suddenly called upon to administer to the effects of an elderly lady recently deceased, his wife told him that she had some indistinct recollection of a commu- nication once made to her by the now deceased lady respecting some money, which she kept secreted about her person. The conversation was represented to have taken place in that portion of the assembly-rooms where, on Wednesday evenings, married and elderly ladies congregate to study the points in short whist; but the husband treated it as some idle gossip, and took no further notice. In the dead waste and middle of the night," however, he was suddenly awakened by his wife, who told him she could not sleep for dreaming of their departed friend, who had told her that she constantly kept a large sum of money sown up in her stavs. The Itusband "pished" and" pooned" about the" dreams and the stays and the money, but all to no purpose; no more tranquil sleep eould the lady get, and consequently small was the portion enjoyed by her unhappy spouse. To pacitiy her he at length promised to "see about it" in the morning, and in fulfillment of his promise went early to the house of the deceased, and with a blush and a stammer, requested thefemrne- de-ehambre to bring him her late mistiess's stays. The wondering Abigail complied—they were not new ones—our professional daintily awkwardly handled the mysterious piece of machinery, held it up to the light, fancied he saw a little extra wadding in some particular corner, gently dislodged the lurking contents, and found in his hand in good bank notes and true, the sum of 1601. 0 THE STEAM-FRIGATE BIRKENHEAD.—The officers and crew of this vessel were paid oft, at Portsmouth, on Thursday. She had been in commission only four- teen months. The reasons of the Admiralty for taking this step are variously stated. The Portsmouth cor respondent of The Times' states, however, that it is expected she will be immediately recommissioneu, an all her officers, with one exception, reappointed. ie Birkenhead is the largest iron steam-ship in the "AVY" She was built in 1845, by Mr. Laird, at Birkenhead, celebrated for the superior construction of his non steamers, many of which stand unrivalled for speed. WRECK OF A FRENCH SHIP LANDING OF THE FRENCH AT ABERDEEN.—On Saturday evening a large ship was observed rounding the Girdleness, and labour- ing heavily in the sea, the wind being dead from the east, blowing a gale. At first she was making for the harbour, but when close upon the bar steered off, but afterwards hauled to wind, and then appeared to be steering right on the sands below the ropeworks. It was now evident that the ship had missed the harbour, by some mistake, for the captain finding himself among the breakers let go his anchor, and for a short time it held, but the sea was rolling so heavily that no anchor could hold long, and accordingly about six o'clock the vessel drove ashore, and the cries of the crew for help were distinctly heard. In a short time the lifeboat was got ready, brought along the sand, and a crew had the happiness of rescuing sixteen seamen, including the master, but no entreaty could induce the mate to leave, though the sea was making a clean breach over the ship. At nine o'clock the mate was also persuaded to come ashore, and thus all the crew were saved. From a statement by the captain, we learn that the ship is only three years sld, carries 400 tons, and left New- castle for Bordeaux ten days ago. She was overtaken in a southeast gale and driven out of her course to lee- ward. The vessel was very deep, and after several attempts to enlighten her by throwing a quantity of coals overboard, so much water was shipped that the crew were obliged to batten down the hatches. For six days they were out of sight of laud, and the ship became nearly as unmanageable as if she had been waterlogged. The decks were completely swept, the boats carried away, and the cabin filled with water. The only provisions which the men had were a sinail quantity of biscuit and some grapes, which were pre- served in a cask. The captain, havillg mane the land on Saturday, resolved to run to Aberdeen, and, as the sea had fallen considerably, he found the ship stood very well but, when he went round the Girdleness, and saw the sea breaking on the end of the pier, he imaginei from the apparent smooth that was at the north side, that the entrance was there, and run for it, until he found himself among the breakers, and, unable to put about, was driven to leeward ashore. It appears that, when the lifeboat reached the vessel, the captain had very little faith in the Christianity of his benefac- tors, or those amongst whom he expected to land, for he armed himself with a brace of pistols, and otherwise gave tokens that lie was not disposed to commit himself to the protection ot moral force. The mate, who, it seems, kept by the ship from an idea that, if all hands left, and she were fo^nd deserted, the property would be lost, also evinced his fears for the worst, havino- carried with him a cutlass. On Sunday the captain and crew went to the Catholic Chapel to otf.r public thanksgiving to God for their providential deliverance. There is little or no prospect of the wreck being saved. The sea ran very liioh on Sunday, carrying away all her bulwarks, cabin, and other fixed works, straining the ship very s^dly. She now lies imbedded in the sand, and is much hogged. The vessel was insured.— North of Scotalld Gazette.
