I terday some account of the riot in the Nor-
Ithern Liberties, which commenced on
I Monday evening. A gentleman who is ac-
I quainted with some of the particulars of the
I business, and an owner of property in the
vicinin of the troubles, called on usyester
day accompanied by another person, well
fciifwn and respected, who resids near the
seen* of confusion, and mentioned that our
statement was defective in many particu
lars, and incorrect as it regarded the cause
of attack. We comply cheerfully with his
teq.iesf, (both from a respect to him, and a
desire to do justice,) to state the circum
gtaoces as he related them to us.
On Monday some celebration or merry
making, (a foot race, we believe,) took off
from their ordinary occupations, several
persons in the neighborhood, and among
them the watchman in the district near
Beaver pud Third streets. A substitute
was found, who, at the proper hour com
menced his rounds.
The wife of a Mr. Weldon, who resides
in Third opposite Beaver street, had been
for some time seriously sick, and on Mon
day evening, in consequence of the excee
ding heat requested to be placed at the
door of the room, which was the front door.
fthen Fred. , the substitute watchman,
rame to that house, he asked of the inhab
itants why the door was open. Mr. Wel
don answered somewhat roughly, intima
tingthat being in his own house, he had a
right to keep what iypirs he chose. Some
other words passed, and the watchman en
tered the house. Mr. Weldon’s son then
struck him, upon which the watchman left
theheuse. He then sprung his rattle and
calledfoi aid, and many persons came from
neighboring taverns. Meantime, a young
soncfMr. Weldon left the house, and no
tified some of the neighboring friends of
the family, that his father's house was in
danger, and that the lives of the whole
family might probably be attempted. They
SC °B gathered, and the scene ensued, and
lie tragic consequences resulted, of which

Importation of Slaves into Ireland.—
I lo ro is one tact in the history of Ireland
which has not often been adverted to by
‘the English historians, and to which it may
not be quite irrelevant to call the attention
of the reader, when speaking of the former
condition of that country. It is, that at a
period even earlier than the Norman con
quest, Ireland was ihe greatest; as probably
the nearest mart for English slaves. Mal
mesbury, in his life of WuJfstan, Bishop of
Worcester has given a minute account of
this extraordinary traffic. In those times,
and long before, when any person had any
more children than he could maintain, or
more domestic slaves than he chose to keep
lie sold them to a merchant, who disposed
of them in Ireland, Denmark Italy, or else
where, as he found most profitable. The
people of Bristol were the chief carriers in
this trade, as far as it related to Ireland
Malmesbury says, the young Women were
frequently taken to Ireland in iheir preg
nancy, that they might bring a better price.
The Ecclesiastical Council of Armagh,
held in 1171, passed a resolution to liberate’
English slaves.— Jones's Recollections of
Royalty. J
W e have seen i curious time piece, made
for one of the Departments, by Mr. Mon
tandon, an ingenious artist, who has recently
taken a residence in this city. The instru
ment is called a JMicrononieter , being a
measure of time in very minute portions.
It indicates, with great accuracy and dis
tinctness, portions of time so small as the
one sixtieth part of a second; and these
small divisions are measured with as much
ease and accuracy as seconds or minutes
are measured by the ordinary time keep
ers. v
The instrument is designed for determin
ing tho time ot flight of projectiles, the
velocity of running streams, and for astro
nomical observations. YV e are informed
that instruments for these purposes have
heretofore been imported from Europe
and which, although purporting to measure
time in very small portions, were no better
than ordinary pocket watches.
1 In ingenious artist, who lias so sue*
cess fully accomplished this difficult under
taking, we hope may receive the patronage
which his skilfulness merits.— JSat. Intel.
Mr. John Jacob Astor, of Nevv-York,
was lately requested, by the directors of
tbt’ Jardin des I'lantes , at Paris, to procure
them a skin of the Bear of the Rocky
Mountains, commonly called the Giizzlv
Bear; no specimen of which, it is said, has
ever been seen in Europe, mr. Astor, in
stead ot a skin piocured a cub, which is
now at New-York on its way to Paris.—
We extract the following remarks, on the
beast, from the New-York Evening Post,
as interesting to students of Natural His
tory ; among whom, we know, are included
several of our readers:—
“This animal has never been described
by any European naturalists; the celebra
ted Cuvier even doubis of its existence.—
It has however, been often mentioned and
figured by American authors, and travel ers
in this country, and an imperfect technical
deset iption ot it, under the name of ursus
horribilis , will be found in the account of
M jor Long’s expedition to the Rocky
Mountains, in 1819 and 1820. It differs
fiom every species of tlie bear in the pro
file of its face, which is nearly rectilinear,
m the great length of ns claws on its fore
feet which it employs with great dexterity,
nd in the remarkable flexibility of its
snout. It is an animal ol great fierceness,
prodigious strength and wonderful tenacity
of life. In Major Long’s expedition it is
said, that from the concurrent testimony of
those who have had an oportunity of obser
ving its manners, it is without doubt, the
most daring and truly formidable animal
that exists in the United States He fre
quently pursues and attacks hunters,and no
animal whose swiftness or art is not supe
rior to his own can evad# him He kills
the bisn and drags the ponderous carcase
to a distance to devour it at leisure. These
bears were frequently seen and killed by-
Lewis and Clark. They killed one which
weighed, as they judged, about six hundred
pounds, and measured eight feet and seven
inches aud a half from the tip of the nose
to the extremity of the hind feet, and which
after having received five balls through his
lungs, and five other wounds, swam to a
considerable distance and survived twenty
minflies. The fore foot of one of them
measured nine inches across, his hind foot
was eleven inches and three quarters in
length, and seven inches wide, and a third
had claws six inches and a quarter long.—
Governor Clinton in the notes to his In
troductory Discourse published in the
transactions ol the New-York Literary and
Philosophical Society, says that he had
been told by Dixon, the Indian hunter, that
this animal had been seen fourteen feet
long, and notwithstanding its ferocity had
been domesticated. An insult offered to
these tame bears by striking him, is related
to have produced a war between two tubes
on the head waters of the Mississippi. Dr.
James, the compiler of the account of
Long’s expedition, thinks there is reason to
believe that the species formerly inhabited
tlie Atlantic States.
“ The Ind ians of the Missouri,” says i
the account of Major Long’s expedition,
“ sometimes go to war in small parties
against tlie Grizzly Bear; and trophies
obtained from his body are highly esteem
ed, and dignify the fortunate individual who
wins them. V\ e saw on the necks of many
ot their warriors, necklaces composed of
the fore claws, separated front the foot,
tastefully arranged in a radiating manner;
and one of the of Pawnee warriors,
that encountered a detachment of our party,
near the Konzn village, was ornamented
with the entile skin of the fore foot, with
the claws remaining upon it, suspended to’
his breast.’ The same work relates, that
upon one occasion, when several hunters
were pursued by one of these fierce ani
mals, gaining rapidly upon them, a boy
belonging to the party, who possessed less
speed than his companions, seeing the bear
close to his heels, fell with his face to the
ground. The bear raised himself on his
hind feet over the boy, looked down upon
him for a moment and then bounded over
him in pursuit of the fugitives.
The bear procured by Mr. Astor for the
Jardin des Plantes , is twelve months old,
and is between three and four feet in length.
His color is grey, nearly of that of a wolf
or perhaps more closely resembling that of
a woodchuck. This color, however, it
should be observed, is not constant with the
species; it is sometimes a dark brown, some
times a tawney white and generally becom
ing ash colored with age.
He is fed on ripe Indian Corn, apples
and raw flesh. He will put one of his paws
through the bars of his cage, and pick up an
apple from the ground with gi eat dexterity .
YV hen he has got it into his possession, he
places it between his fore feet, and cuts it in
pieces with his long claws before taking it
into his mouth. YV hen visited by stran
gers, he generally lies down, and begins to
iick the bottom of his fore paws with great
industry uttering at the same time a surly,
monotonous; uninterrupted growl. The
present of a little food, however, seldom
fails to bring him into better humor. His
physiognomy, when viewed in front, does
not give any idea of ferocity; but when
seen pacing his cage, as he sometimes does,
swiftly and heavily, with his head near the
floor, the animal has a fierce and savage as
pect.
The cogue of Chili is one of the most
extraordinary climbing plants ever noticed
by naturalists. It is not, like the hop, con
vovulus, or the vine, contented with the
support afforded by a single tree, but when
it has reached the top of one, it shoots
down again, and in a short time, attains the
summet of another. Proceeding in that
manner, it has been known to extend over
a space of more than two hundred yards.
1 lie toughness and pliability of its stems
render them valuable for making baskets,
and even cables.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser .
LORD BYRON, &c.
An intelligent and pinch esteemed friend,
now in this city, has favored 11s with the
following article, elicited by the article
lately copied from the London Litterary
Gazette, under the head of Byroniaua.
REMINISCENCES OF ENGLAND.
Lord Byron — Sherwood Forest—Henry
Kirke White.
Early on the morning of the 15th, we
left Soutliwell. Its fine old Cathedral
toweriug above the trees by which it is sur
rounded, gradually faded from our sight
and in a short time the venerable pile was
lost in the distance. By ten o’clock we
had arrived at Mansfield, and after being
detained about an hour, set out forNew
stead *
Leaving our carriages at a solitary inn
on the road side, we started on foot for the
Abbey. \V e had not walked through the
grounds more than half a mile, when its
towers which had been hitherto concealed
horn our view by a grove of trees, suddenly
burst upon us. The well known lines be
ginning,
“ Though the hall of my fathers art gone to de
cay,”
immediately came to memory, but no marks
of ruin are now visible Col. Wildman,
who purchased the estate of Lord Byron,
and now resides at the Abbey, had carefully
romoved every mark of the decaying hand
of time, and been careful that no memo
rial of its late noble occupant should be
disturbed. VYe wandered through the
grounds and stood by the fort and lake in
which he used to take so much delight, and
read,not without emotion,the misanthropic
lines he has inscribed upon the tomb of his
dog. Col. Wildman was from home, bui
we readily obtained permission to see the
house. Everv thing remains as it did when
his Lordship inhabited the Abbey; no
piece ol furniture has been removed ; and
to the credit of its present occupant be it
recorded, he has given the strictest orders
against any alteration. He is himself a
man of taste and letters, and can compre
hend the enjoyment derived from associa
tions One old servant, who had been in
the family when his Lordship was a boy,
spoke of him with the greatest affection
aud described him as an excellent master.
\Y e left this interesting spot with regret,
and cast many a lingering look behind us
as we travelled oftwards to Nottinham.
At this place 1 accidentally saw Mary
Chaworth, Lord Byron’s first and only
love. She was sitting in an open carriage
with her two daughters, and appeared to
he in ill health . She is not what a painter
would term a beauty, but an air of pensive
melancholy, heightened by disease, gives a
character of attractive sweetness to her
features highly fascinating. She seems to
be just the thing a poet would fall in love
with. It has been said that she subse
quently regretted having refused his Lord
ship’s hand ; but this, I believe, is not true.
At the time he first became attached to
her, both were children—she was a little
the elder of the two, became a tall girl
while he appeared yet a boy, and despised
her youthful lover. She afterwards gave
her hand to Mr. Musters, a neighboring
country gentleman, and he took her name
in order to inherit the estates. He is a
very handsome and agreeable man, but
fond of company, lavish in expense, and
not at all select in his acquaintance. His
gaities have been the source of her dis
tresses, and to the neglect she has experi
enced from a man she devotedly loves,
may perhaps be attributed her melancholy.
There is not the slightest reason to suppose
it was occasioned by any penchant fi r Lore.
Byron.
I could not have been in the neigh
borhood at a more interesting period, lot
on the very day I had intended to le.ve
fliis part of the country, the remains of the
departed Poet arrived from Greece for in
terment in the family vault at Hucknal.—
/ .determined to remain, in order to witness
this melancholy spectacle. The body ar
rived ab <ut noon, accompanied by his
Loidship’s domestics and Mr. Hobhouse,
who immediately gave orders for a private
funeial on the following day. The coffin
was deposited at one of the principal inns,
the rooms of which were crowded with
visiters of every rank, anxious to obtain a
glance even at thi* wood, which now im
prisoned dust, through which had ouce
beamed so much intellectual greatness.
The following morning the cavalcade set
out, accompanied by thousands of specta
tors, and attended by several members of j
the Corporation, who were to bear the pall.
There seemed to me something irresistibly
ludicrous in this accompaniment. Grocers
and tallow chandlers, “ dressed in a little
brief athority,’’ bearing the pall of Lord
Byron! Justice Shallows, who probably
never read, or, if they read, never under
stood, ten lines of his poetry, sentimentally,
, honoring his dust !—I am no aristocrat.
YVortli makes the man, the want of it the fel
low,
The rest is all but leather and pfunella.”
But I could not help imagining what would
have been the sensations of tlie haughty
poet could he have known the extent, of
what he would have deemed Ins degrada
tion. Peace be to his ashes—the grave
has no sympathy with pride, and worms
know not tlie difference between patrician
and plebian clay.
A great part of the Byron estate has
been taken from the forest of Sherwood,
which formerly extended fora distance of
50 miles, and included part of the county
of York It was, at this time, the theatre
of the exploits of
“ Robin Hood and his merry men all,
Who robb’d the rich to pay the poor withall.” j
So goes the ballad, or in some such rough
and rumbling stanza. The author of Wa \
verly has immortalized him iu Ivanhoe,
Hinder the name of Locksley. The real
hero, although not quite so gentle a Knight
as the novelist has made him, was a singu
lar specimen of the rovers of the lawless
times of Richard Coeur de Lion. He is
said to be of a noble family, but disinherit
ed. He and his followers roamed the forest
for many years, levying contributions on
the rich, and giving free to the poor. His
cap, and bow and arrows, are still shewn to
those who have sufficient antiquarian faith
to believe in their identity. Ashby, the
scene of the tournament in the novel, is
about 20 miles from Newstead, and a fa
vorite bathing place, some salt springs have
lately been discovered in the neighborhood.
Invanhoe coaches, and Ivanhoe baths now
occupies the places of Prince John, the
Jew and Rebecca, Norman Knights, and
sturdy Saxons.
But to return to Nottingham. Before
leaving the town we visited its castle, and
after .threading the long subterreanean bas
sase, by means of which the Earl of Mor
timer carried on tlie illicict intercourse
with the queen of Edward, for which even
tually he suffered, and wandering over the
Court yard once so bravely defended by
the heroic Hutchison, who, after signing
the death warrant of Charles, as determi-
resisted the usurpations of Crom
well and whose memory has been forever
embalmed by the classic pen of his virtuous
and accomplished wife, we set out for the
village of VVill'ord and Clifton, spots con
secrated to the memory of Henry Kiike
Whiter The life and remains of tins ex-I
traordinary youth, published by Mr. South
ey, are well kuown. It was to him Lord
Byron thus beutifully referred in his Eng- j
lisli Bards and Scotch Reviews.
“ Unhappy White, while life was in its spring,
And thy young Muse just w r aved her joyous wing,
The Spoiler came ; and all thy promise fair
Has sought the grave to sleep forever there,
Oh ! what a noble heart was here undone,
When science self-destroyed her favorite son !
Yes, she too much indulged thy fond pursuit,
She sowed the seeds, but death has reaped the
fruit.
’Twas thine own genius gave the final blow,
And helped to plant the wound that laid three
low ;
So the struck Eagle stretched upon the plain,
No more through rolling clouds to soar again,
Viewed his own feather in the fatal darts
And winged the shaft that quivered in his heart;
Keen were his pangs, but keener far to feel,
He nursed the pinion which impelled the steel:
While the same plumage that had warmed his
nest,
Drank the last life drop of his bleeding breast.”
Clifton was his favorite retreat. We
w ere shown the tree on which are sti.l to
be seen the name of the fair maid, whose
loves are related in one of his earliest po
ems. The scenery of the neighborhood
is beautiful,and tlie views from the grove
equal to any thing I have seen iu England.
I lelt a melancholy pleasure in seating
myself under tlie tree in Wilford Church
where he wished to be buried, and
could at the time almost have fancied my
self a poet. An English friend who was
with me embodied bis feelings in a sonnet,
which I iiave preserved as a memorial of
this pleasing visit.
“ Here would the martyr student oft retire,
And watch the shades of eve descending, till
Meek twilight robed the valley and the bill;
Then would lie s\yeep his sad melodious lyre
And bid such music from the chords respire
So melancholy, soft, and sad and sweet.
As angel choirs might waken where they meet
Around tlie bed where holy men expire,
Henry ! that lyre is mute, that song is sung,
And we may list thy plaintive notes no more ;
But thou hast waked a happier strain, and struncr
A sweeter harp upon a fairer shore.
Oh ! Minstrel, let thy mantle fall
On all who love the lyre, on me the least of all.”
The puet died and was buried at Cam
bridge, and for many years “no marble
marked his tomb of early sleep.” The re
proach has now, however, been removed
by an American citizen, Francis Boott,
Esq. who, visiting this country a few years
•go, enquired for the monument of Kirke
White,and finding none hod been erecte* ,
raised a neat marble table to hi3 memory,
on which a fine profile of the deceased and
a suitable inscription have been sculptured.
It is fixed above his grave in the Chapel
of King s College Cambridge. Whether
bis mantle has fallen on his native town, I
knew not; but it is a fact that no oilier
place of its size has been so prolific in po
ets. W r illiam and Mary Howitt, whose
contributions are so frequeut to the Eng
lish annuals, are residents, and (which is
somewhat singular,,) quakers, they were
married a short time ago, and keep a drug
| gist shop. Besides them, three others
j who have published volumes of poetry,
| and a tribe of versifiers, good, bad, and in
different, live amidst the smoke of this pt
etic manufactory And now farewell t
thee, Nottingham, forever. The coo i
is ready—accept the passing good wishes
of a trans-atlantic friend.

Cotton.— The stock of long staple cotton is now
reduced, by shipments on planters’ account, to a-
I bout 100 bags, and until the new crop begins to
come to market, quotations must be nominal. Up
lands continue very dull; the entire sales of the
j week probably did not exceed 300 bags, the prin
cipal of which were good quality at JO a Ilf i-2
\ cts. and some inferior at 9 cts. We quote nine
and eleven cents for inferior to prime, though
a little very choice would perhaps brinr-’
11 1-2 cents, of such, however, there is none in
market. The stock of Uplands since tlie Ist of
the month has been reduced about 3000 bales.
Rice. —The supply of this article continues li
mitted, the lively demand for the YVest India mar
ket, particularly in the early part of tho week, ad
vanced prices, and sales were effected at lor
some not considered prime, w hile a tew prime par
cels were stored for higher prices. In the absence
of sales of prime we quote it at the highest rata
which a sale was made, viz : prime, s3s ; inferior
to good 2J a 3£.
Flour. —ln this article w T e have no change to
notice ; sales of small parcels continue to be mada
at our quotations of SO4 a 0 1-4.
Corn. —During the w eek the arrivals of Corn
have been very heavy for the season, amounting
to 32,000 bushels ; consequently the prices have
given way, and we now quote 37 a42 cents, a,
range embracing all the sales.
Groceries. —ln Groceries there has beep noth
ing done except for the city trade, wdiich was fair.
Prices are without variation.
Freights. —Cotton to England has been shipped
at and tor square bales, and 5-ed asked for round
bags. We have heard of uo engagements at the
latter rate, but from the scarcity of vessels here,
it is probable it may be obtained. There is little
or nothing shipping coastwise.
