The Weather akd the Crops . —The weather has been ebaDge&ble sicce our last ; and , though much less rain has fallen during the week than that which immediately preceded it , still frequent sbower 3 have precluded the possibility of farmers getting on their lands , and no further progress has been made with wheat-sowing . We fctiil receive disastrous accounts from many parts of the country , of injury done by rivers overflowing their banks ; and we are informed , that in numerous instances large tracts of wheat fields aTe either wholly or partially under water : frost is , therefore , now as much to be dreaded as a continuance of rain—indeed the former would of the two be the more injurious ; and nothing but drying winds and a moderately cool temperature
can well avert the threatened danger . Even under the most suspicious circumstances , there is a strong probability that much wheat land will hare to be ploughed up and resown in spring ; and , to say the least , the prospects for the future are certainly well calculated to give rise to serious apprehensions . Should we , however , be blessed with fiue weather , and an open winter , much may yet be done to dispel our present fear * . The deliveries of wheat from the growers feare been shorter than is usually the case just previoas to Christmas , and the trade has assumed a firmer character at most of the leading provincial markets held during tbe week ; in the absence , however , of anything like alively demand , very Hule improvement has taken place in prices . —Mark Lane Express .

THE POOR LAW IN HALIFAX . ( From the Halifax Guardian . ) Two important documents have this week fallen nnder osr notice . As they both give a great and final blow to . the feeble falsehood of and alleged " saving" under the New Poor Law , wa select , ter our readorsj the most important facta contained in each paper . ' e first is an " extract from the quarterly abstt showing the number of paupers relieved , the a < t of money expended , and the balance due to ar m the several townships , for the quarter eD * _ 255 h of September , 1841 . " The paper is k Iharles Barstow , Clerk of the Halifax L ' . id is published by the Guardians as an off . port . Wkat , then , is the testimony it
bea At the eud of the previous quarter there was ., sum of £ 2 , 418 14 s . ll } d . in the hands of the treasurer towards meeting the expenoes ot the September qtarter . Since that time no less than £ 3 , 509 additional have been paid by tho several townships to tbe treasurer ; yet the expences have been so enormouf , that tho balance left on hand at the end of the quarter is reduced from £ 2 , 418 odd , down to 1 . 745 9 i- 7 jd . That the poor get no share of this extraordinary expendilnre is shown by the " extract" itself , shrewdly imperfect though it be ; for we find that there is a diminution of £ 101 in out-door relief ( as compared with the corresponding quarter in 1640 ) , although there is an increase of 117 out-door poor as compared with the same
quarter . The second and by far the most important paper from which we purpose to extract the proofs of the New Poor Law extravaganco , is also an official document . It bears the signature of those notorious gentlemen , G . C Lewis" and " Edmnnd W . Head , " Poor Law Commissioners ; and is a declaration under their seals and signatures ef •* ' the expense incurred by each parish or place forming part of the Halifax Union , for the relief of the poor belonging to eaeh Euch parish or place , for three years ending on the 25 th of March in the present year . " It will be remembered that Mr . Power , then the Assistant-Commissioner over this Union , mado a similar inquiry into the three years' average under the old law , a . nd there c&n be no fajrex means of testing the veracity of the Commissioners than by placing his average with that now settled , wo believe by Mr . Mott . Here , then , we place them side by side : —

Tiie documents issued from Somerset-house belio the graiul&tions which have so lovg rebounded in that quarter ; and M the saving of the New Poor Law " btands confessed to be the very Irish one of an undeniable increase . But this is not all ! The followiux important memorandum is affixed to the document before us ; and though it is in small letters and just underneath tho seal of the Commissioners , iis figures strike our eye with more effect than the glaring orange of the Whig Commissioners : —
HEHORANDUH . In addition to the sum of £ 14 , 138 ( the average of tho cost of the relief ) The average of the establishment during the last three year 3 wa 3 1 , 727 And the average amount of money paid on account of loar . a and interest thereon during the same period was 1 , 306 Average of the total expenditure £ 17 , 161 So that the entire increase in expenditure ( by the showing of the Commissioners ) is five thousand three hundred and thirly-three pounds per anuum hi the Halifax Union alone !

DINNER TO THE POOR . ( From the Norfolk Chronicle . ) The Lord Bishop having intimated to the governor and members of tbe court of guardians in this city , his desire to give to the poor inmates of the workhouse a good dinner of old English fare of roast beef and plum pudding , in celebration of the birth of a Prince , the heir apparent to the throne , Tuesday last was the day for carrying hla Lordship ' s benevolent intention into effect . Tnere are nearly 400 persons in the house , and for these ample provision was furnished ; plum puddings of the best quality were made , and joints of beef of the primest kind , were procured ; the hall kitchen , once a busy scene , in whose grates , since the introduction of a reforming municipality , no fire has burned , nor has the note of preparation oven sounded within its walls for c : vic hos p itality—this spacious kitchen and the materials which it affords for
cookipg a good dinner , were again brought into rcq'iisition . About half-past one o'clock the dishes were placed upon the tables , which had been arranged , three in the centre aisle , ar : d one by the side ; and it being announced that all was ready , the boys and girls in the-establishment first entered and took their p aces , and were followed by the men and women ' , aud it v ? a 3 a tleasing sight to see so many , both of old and young , whose poverty ajid not their will forcts to be the recipients of workhouse fa > e , Bitting down before fine joints of beef , and smoking dishes of plum pudding . Grace was eaid by the Bishop , and A oa nobis Dominie , was sung by the choristers of the Cathedral , who were stationed in the orchestra . The chaplain to the workhouse ( Rev . J . B . Tompson ) , the governor , and several of tho guardians assisted in carving , and most successful was the attack made upon the provisions .
Mrs . and Miss Stanley , and several other ladies , evinced much interest in the personal comfort and enjoyment of the guests , particularly of the junior objects of his Lordship ' s bounty . Grace having been pronounced by his Lordship , and the men , women , and children having resumed their places , The Bishop said—My friends , I am in duty bound to give a toast , and I shall give you , " The Health of Her Majesty Queen Victoria , " our Sovereign , the guardian of the British empire , and gratified indeed would she be to witness this scene . True it is that she is the highest authority of the land , but ,
exalted as is her station , if she were here , Englishwoman as she is , with an English heart and a mother ' s feelings , there is nothing , I well know , which wonld please Queen Victoria more than to behold the sight I now witness , of nearly 400 persons regaling themselves on the occasion of her son ' s birth . Her Majesty has received addresses from the highest and noblest of the land : bnt this sight would giro " her more real pleasure than all the addresses and congratulations that her Majesty has received . My friends , let us drink the health of Queen Victoria , long may Bhe reign , happy may she be , the beloved Sovereign of a loyal , free , and grateful people . " ( Loud cheers . )
"God save the Qneen" was then sung by the choristers of the Cathedral , assisted by the organ . The Bishop—Now , my fi-iends , I must this day give you another toast , and it is the health of the Royal Infant , who is , under Divine Providence , to be our future King . May God Almighty so impress him with a right spirit within , that , being moulded and fashioned as a child ia the spirit of true wisdom , he may , when he grows up to manhood , prove a real blessing to the laud which gave him birth . As by his birth he will be tho first man in the country , so by his education may he become the bast and fittest for his exalted statiom . May he above all things set a bright example to those whom he may govern , that they mar feel it both a duty and a pleasure to obey and to to turn the
him , yield homage of loyal , obedient , and happy subjects . I giv « yo » " The Health of the Royal Infant who is to be our future King , " with " Rule Britannia . " ( Great cheering . ) The Bishop again said—My friends , I most give you one more toast , and I will be short in my remarks , nevertheless it ia one in which I boast , " England , the land we live in , ' may she ever be the first country in the world , first in enterprise , first ia religion , and first in the happiness and welfare of her people . ( Cheers ) The Governor said—I have the permission of the Bishop to propose a toast , and I will five you one in which I am sure you will all unite most cordially : it is the health of one who does honour to the high and sacred office which he holds , and who exemplifies that effioe by kindness , by generosity , and good

feeling . It must delight all who venerate our church , to see the manner in which the head of that church in this diocese exercises h ) B office . It givesme satisfaction to propose and I am sure that you trill heartily drink , "The Health of tha Bishop . " ( Great cheering . ) His Lordship said—Five years I hare been amongst yon , and I have passed many happy hours in this diocese , bnt I know not that 1 ever passed one more satisfactorily to myself than in seeing , as I hare done this day , nearly 400 of the poor regaliDg themselves on this auspicious occasion . I bave seen St . Andrew ' s Hall crowded at many meetings , for benevolent , religious , and almost every variety of
objects , but I have never seen it filled in a manner moro gratifying than it is now , by persons of tne poorer class regaling themselves on an ocoaeion joyful to England itself . I myself only regret that every poor person , not only in Norwich , bnt throughout England , is net able by his industry and honest exertions to celebrate the event in the same manner . My earnest prayer to God is , that things may improve ; eo that every industrious man may be able to earn a competency , and be able to live in the enjoyment of the privileges of his country . ( Cheers . ) The Bishop then gave "Health , success , and happiness to the poor in Norwich and the poor iu England . "

Total , 191 This fearful instance of extermination is one of tho worst species being cniefly referable to a sectarian spirit . Noble and Unexampled Patriotism . —The laboui ing men of England exhibit at this moment an intelligence and patriotism which has rarely beea oxampled and never surpassed . They are famishing , and their wives and little ones are famishing , on what of necesearies can be bought for a weekly two dollars , in a country whore two dollars will not buy us much as one dollar will purchase here . In the midst of this destitution , they are asked to petition for an abolition of the Corn Laws—but they refuse to petition for anything short of the principles whiuh we enumerate in another column—even the prospect of temporary relief from their hunger will not induce them to barter their claim to the high privilege of freemen . — Wiltiamsburg Democrat , American paper .
Murderous Attack and Robbery . —On Monday evening lu . st , about seven o ' clo ck , as Mr . Benjamin Johnson , commission agent , Cannon-street , Manchester , who resides in Paddock-street , Ardwiek , was on his way home , he was attacked by three men iu Tipping-atreet , who bow d him by the throat , which they grasped with 6 uou violence that he was almost suffocated , and was , of course , wholly unable to cry tut . At the same time be was knocked or dragged down , and one of the robbers sat on his breast , and throttled him ; whilst the others robbed hi m of about £ 200 , chiefly in B » nk of England £ 5 notes ; but including one £ 2 t and £ 10 note . This money was placed in his fob , which the robbers tore off , and carried away . They also took from his
pockets a penknife , a bunch ot keys , and some other trifling articles . Shortly afterwards , Mr . J . Newton , butcher , was proceeding along Tipping-street , when he saw something lying oa the ground , on the opposite sideof the street ; and , going to ascertain what it was , he found Mr . B . Johnson , who was completely exhausted from the severe injuries no bad received . Mr . Newton looked round for aid , and saw a boy standing on the other side of the street ; and , on Mr Newton asking him if he knew any thing about it , tbe boy replied that he had seen three men knock the gentleman down , rob him , and run away ; but he bad not thought of giving an alarm . Mr . Newton obtained assistance ; and Mr . Johnson was conveyed home , and Mr . Jesse , Burgeon , attended
him . Leeches were applied to his temples , and the usual restorative means applied ; but he was in a delirious state during the night ; and we regret to add , that , on Tuesday evening , he was still considered to be in a very precarious condition . On searching the plaoe where the robbery waB committed , Mr . Johnson ' s umbrella was found lying on the ground , and near it was a pair of woollen gloves , which did not belong to him , and which had probably been dropped by one of the robbers . Another Robbery in Ardwick . —A second robbery was committed in Ardwick , within three
quarters of aa hour of the one just noticed , and in all probability by two of the same gan £ . A poor laundress , named Maria Adshead , was returning home , having been oat washing all day , and was passing through Cemetery-lane , from the Hyde Road tollbar , to her dwelling in Ardwick , when , about a quarter before eight o ' clock , just after she had passed tbe Cemetery gates , she met two men . After they had passed , the men immediately tamed round , and knocked her down from behind , and robbed her of Is . 3 d . her day ' s wages , which eh © was carrying in her hand , and then ran off . The poor woman was a good deal shaken by the injury she received from tbe blow and the Tall , together with the fright she experienced .

It spears that he and two others were returning from fishing in a boat ; and as they neargd the shore , it being then dark , the deceased took an bar to ascertain , by the depth , how near the ; were to the land . In doing bo , bis feet unfortunately slipped , and he fell over . Notwithstanding his cries , hia companions , we are informed , could not render him any assistance from the storm of wind which was then raging . The unfortunate man has left a wife and seven young children , to lament his loss . His body was found on Friday afternoon . —Laticasler Guardian . ABERDEEN . —Strike of the Stonemasons . —
A general meeting of the quarrymen in the vicinity of Aberdeen , was held on Monday evening , Deo . 13 i . h , at the Independent Chapel , Print Fields , to take into consideration the best course to be pursued incase that the contractor . ' of the Nelson Monument and the Woolwich Dock should apply there for materials . Mr . Lind was called to tho chair , and he then briefly addressed th 8 meeting , and called en tha London delegate to lay the whole of the case before them . Mr . Carter then rose , and said he was proud of the task which it was his duty to perform , more particularly in that part of the country . As he well knew that , the publio mind had been abused by the false statements set forth by the London press , he would
therefore give them a correct statement of facts , of which he defied a denial , ) and then they could judge for themselves . He then entered into the details of the foreznans ( Allen ) conduct , which has appeared in our previous numbers , and after detailing a lengthened account of the proceedings since the strike , he Bat down amidst loud cheers . Mr . Baine nexi rose . ( Cheers . ) He rose to propose a resolution which had been put in his hand , aud would just call their attention to tho former part of it , which was to justify the masons on strike ; he wished them just to fancy themselves in the same position as the masons , and ho was sure they would not be very long in showing a similar disposition . Only think that one of your wives were lyin #
at the point of doath , and tell me whether you would not visit her dying moments at the risk of your lives . This is not a strike of a pecuniary matter , but one of high moral principles , whether they were to be treated a 3 men or as beasts of burden . He entered , in an able manner , into the necessity of union , and concluded his excellent speech by proposing a resolution , justifying tho masons , and pledging themselves net to prepare any materials for Grissdl and Peto until the present dispute is settled , which , after being seconded by Mr . Gordon , was carried unanimously .
By this time the place in which they were assembled was so crowded that it was found necessary to adjourn into an adjoi&ing church , the doors of which were opened for their reception , at the consent of the minister . A lengthened discussion then ensued as to the best means of putting the above resolution in practice , when it was resolved that three individuals be appointed to call another meeting of the whole of the men from all the quarries in the neighbourhood , and thus take their opinion . This being done , and Thursday evening next appointed for the meeting , a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated .

Bradford Markets , Thursday , Dec . 16 . —Wool —During the last week a less amount of business has been effected even in coarse and miudlo combing Wool , but prices are statiouary . The higher qualities are still neglected . Colonial Wool , both- for Worsted and Woollen purposes , is much depressed . Yarn—We have no improvement to notice since our last report , Spinners continue to run their machinery short hours , which prevents any accumulation of stocks . In prices no variation . Piece—The demand is but slack to-day , and the amount of business done is very limited ; this applies alike to Fancy as well as Plain Fabric . Prices remain without change .
Liverpool Cattle Market , Dec . 13 . —The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been smaller than last week , and principally of inferior quality .

The flour trade likewise assumed a more healthy character , and although no advance in quotations can be made , the previous currenoy was tully supported . Oats and Oatmeal also were in fair request at prices not obtainable on this day se ' nnight .
Leeds Cloth Market . —There is no demand whatever for goods at either of the Cloth Halls ; the oldest attender does not remember a season of such uncommon depression as is exhibited at present . There is not much doing either in the warehouses . Tallow . —The price continues at 4 a . 9 J . per imperial stone . Malton Corn Mahket , Dec . 11 . —Out market to-day was pretty well attended , and there was a good supply of samples of all kinds of Grain offering .

_ State op Trade . —The market continues exceedingly depressed ; and rather lower prices , both for goods and yarn , have been pretty generally submitted to . We understand , however , that the very low rates now current bave bad the effect of causing some speculative inquiry , both in yarn and goods . There have been , during tke past week , beveral failures at Glasgow and Paisley , two of which are of some magnitude ; but we understand that one only is likely to affect this neighbourhood , which it will do to the extent of about £ 14 , 000 . —Manchester Guardian of Wednesday .

Hull Corn Market , Tuesday , Dec . 14 . —The weather still continues unfavourable , rain more or less almost every day since our report of last Toesday . There is an improved tone in the large con . 8 mning markets in the We 9 t of Yorkshire and Lancashire , which is felt here , and holders of old Wheat are insisting on higher prices , at which however _ but little business is done . All spring Com continues in the same dull state that we have so frequently noted lately , there being little or no demand for it . There is a large arrival of Linseed , which causes a dull sale , but not lower prices . Ion * f sorters prefer landing rather than submitting t « ess money . There is very little passing in Rape * seed . We have not heard of any transactions during the week . Both Rape and Linseed Cake dearer , and
very little doing in either ; prices , howaver , without alteration . Bones are more plentiful , and price tho same as last week . To day ' s market met with a fair supply of farmers' Wheat , for all descriptions of which they are asking more money . The best dry parcels are taken at an advance of fn'ly lsperqr , but no advance can be noted in the secondary qualities and those wanting condition , of which the great bulk offering consists . More demand for old foreign , and on the sales of 2 a per qr more has been paid : all the best parcels are held at further advanced rates . There is more doing in Oats , but without any alteration in prices . The best samples of Barley for malting command last week's rates ; inferior qualities almost unsaleable . Beans and Peas are dull sale , at a decline of Is per qr for both articles .
Newcastle Corn Market , Saturday , Dec . 11 . We had a moderate supply of Wheat at market this morning , which met a good demand at Is . per qr . over the rates of this day se ' nnight . A fair extent of business was done in foreign at last week ' s rates but no advance could be established . Rye is a doll sale . The arrivals of Barley this week are again large , and the inferior qualities have again suffered a further decline of Is . per quarter , while the best qualities are held for the same money , but the sale is dull . Beans and Peas are offered on lower terms , without inducing purchasers . Malt is a very dull sale , and again Is . to 2 s . per quarter lower . We had a large supply of Oats from the neighbourhood to-day , and the demand being good , last week ' s rates were fully maintained . Flour is a very dull sale .
Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Dkc . 13 .- The arrivals of this day week consist chiefly of about 11 , 083 loads of Oatmeal , and about 3 , 834 qra , of Oats from Ireland and coastwise ; from abroad there have been reported 3 , 500 quarters of Wheat and 2 , 320 quarters of Beans ; of other articles of the trade the supply has been unimportant . At Tuesday ' s market an advance of 2 d . per bushel was obtained on the better descriptions of foreign free Wheat , and there was an improved demand for secondary qualities , in which Irish , new participated . The trade has since been of a steady character , and though the business in free Wheat and barrel Floor has not been extensive , wo havo had a fair demand at th 9 full rates of Tuesday . Oats and Oatmeal have
met only limited sa ' e , but no change cau be noted in the previous quotations for either . English Barley is Is . to 2 s . per quarter lower , and difficult to quit . Several parcels of Egyptian Bsana have changed hands at 31 s . to S 2 s . per 4801 bs . Peas are without alteration in value . Bonded Wheat has attracted some attention ; the sales of the last three days may probably amount to 12 , 000 quarters , consisting chiefly of cargoes to arrive from the Mediterranean ; those of good Odessa and Polish at 44 s . to 47 s . ; Birletta , 48 * . to 49 a . per imperial quarter , cost free on board , including freight . Two parcels in store here have been disposed of , one of Barletta at 7 s . 4 d ., and another of Egyptian at 5 j . 6 d . per 701 bs .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Dec . 13 th . — The supply of Wheat trom Essex , Kent , and Suffolk was somewhat larger than that of last Monday , and there was an increased quantity of Barley from all these counties , and of Beans and Peas from Essex and Kent , with a good arrival of Barley from Norfolk , and of Oata from Lincolnshire , Yorkshire and Scotland ; but few fresh arrivals are reported from Ireiaad . Tfio imports of foreign grain haw been moderate during the past week . The weather has continued to be in as unsettled astate as for some time past , and rain falls > et to some extent av short intervals . Good English Wheat met a moderate sale at fully as much money , a few dry samples commanding rather over last Monday ' s currency , but the greater part of the supply wa 3 in poor condition , and suoh was taken reluctantly , but not lower . Ola
Foreign Wheat was held with more firmness , which somewhat checked sales ; the business transacted was only to a moderate extent , and at aboat tbe rates of this day se ' nnight . Ship Flour brought the prices of last Monday , the quotations for townmade were nominally unaltered . Prime Malting Barley met a ready sale at quite as much money , but secondary sorts were dull , and the turn lower Old Malt unchanged in price , but in slow demand , and new offdring rather cheaper . Bean ? , of all sortB , were taken slowly , but must be quoted unchanged ia value . Peas met a limited sale , and , all but the best , Is per qr . cheaper . There was a moderate bu 3 ines 3 transacted in Oats , good heavy con realising last week ' s currency , whilst the light and soft Irish were dull , although offering rather love again . Linseed was much the same as last week .
London Smithfield Market , Monday , Dec . 13 . —This having been the day appointed for holding the great Christmas market , the arrivals of beast * fresh up from our grazing districts were brought ia at an early hour , and we have to notice that they exceeded those received at the corresponding market last year by upwards of 600 . Notwithstanding th « immense collection of stock , so perfect were ths arrangements effected by the market committee for its reception , that the confusion usually ensuing on these occasions was in a great measure avoided ; in fact , the only drawback upon the whole proceed * ings was the unpropitious and unfavourable state of the weather . The main strength of the supply rf beasts was derived from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire ,
Northamptonshire , and Warwickshire , with no inconsiderable portion from Norfolk , Suffolk , and Essex . With respect to tho general quality of tto beasts , it must be admitted that it was seldom , if ever , equalled , and , when tho late rains and the continHed epidemic are considered , it must be allowed ihat this circumstance reflected tbe greatest credit upon the graziers . There was , as usual , a strong competition between the Herefords and Devons , and it was a matter of some difficulty to say whick carried off the palm this year . As to the shorthorns , rants , Sussex beasts , Scots both horned and polled , and Durhams , they came fully up to our anticipations ; indeed , a more " even" supply wa * scarcely ever before known . In noticing the best stock in the market , we must not fail to state that the fifteea fihort-horne , the property of Sir Chart * Knightley , were extraordinarily fine creatures , and every point bore the strictest scrutiny . We much
regret , and bo must every member of the dub , tbat they were not shown in Baker-street . . Not withstanding the attendance of both London and country buyers , but more particularly that of the former , was numerous , the beef trade , comparatively speaking ( from , we should infer , the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering , there being yet tire markets intervening between this and ChristmMi and the advanced ratea demanded by the Balesmenli was dull , yet there was a slight improvement , say w 2 J per 81 b , upon the currencies noted on Monday last , and a clearance was not effected without difficulty . There was a fair average number of sheep on the market . Prime old Downs sold at last week ' s currencies , but in other kinds nexi to nothing W * passing . Calves were in short supply , and sluggi * inquiry at late rates . It should be borne in mifl « that our general figures for beef do not refer to tin prize stock , which , of course , sold at higher rates .

STATE OF TaE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES . It is extremely puinfnl to state that the depression iu the laee trade has extended to the power factories , one of which in this vicinity , we are informed , stopped nearly all the machines last Saturday , and others contemplate . either to stop or work short hours . At Chard , the machines are working short time , and some other firms contemplate stopping , as the price of nets does not cover the prime cost . The Limerick ornamented nets , which have been so injurious , in many respects , to the lace trade , are disappearing-from the windows of the lace shops . We understand that the speculation is a failure . It 13 now hoped , that laoe-runners will be again ia requisition , as British run net are succeeding them .
Tlie French have introduced into fashion a new description of winter cuffs , usiug ornamented lace to cover the leather cuff . They look unique and handsome . The silk glove trade is a little amended , French point net gloves having deolined as the cold weather approached . Still the hands- are to a great ex . ent out of employment . The lace trade in France is extremely dull . It is computed that there are now at work in that kingdom about three thousand six hundred French bobbin net hands , who cannot speak English , and from 800 to 900 English bobbin-net hands , who
cannot speak French . However difficult it is conceived to be to work a traverse warp machine , we believe that the majority of Widdowson ' a traverse warp hands , at Douay , are Frenchmen . Widdowson's power factory at that place , consisting of twenty-five rotary machines , is well employed . We are sorry to say , that the warp tatting trade is still in a very depressed state , especially at Stapleton ; indeed , the only branch of the lace trade that can bo said to bo in anything like astate of living employment , is the traverse warp . This is said to be owing to their fancy nets being all made traversed , which caueos them to stand the ordeal of the wash tub . —Nottiagham Review .

THE PICTURE OF DANIEL O'CONNELL . " How are the mighty fallen J" Time was when they would " have given a hundred ducats for his picture in little , "but now " they make maws at him . " " Ui plclura" is poor Dan . Op . Saturday last , there was a sale of pictures at Christie ' s , when , among others , a three-quarters length of Daniel O'Connell , in oils , was put up . No voice was heard for some time , and O'Connell seemed very likely " to be taken to the plaoe whence it came , and there to behuny . " At last a gentleman , " as brave as the flea that supped on the lion ' s lip , " bid 2 s . Gd . Thia daring act was received with great
cheering , according to its character , the bidding of hst \ T-a .-crown appearing , no doubt , so appropriate a price for a Repealer . Here , however , there was a dead stop ; but , spite of its consistency , he was not to be sold so " dirt cheap ; " for a change came over the spirit of the assembly , and after several biddings , one had the hardihood ( of which he doubtless repents ) to bid 8 d . ! and to him this " gem" was knocked down . No one could account for this extravagant price . It was whicpered about , however , that it had been bought by Mr . O Connell himself , to present to the Corporation of Dublin ; but we have not yet heard whether he has been able to iuduce them to raise the money to pay for it . —Times .
