I11 the year 1838, there will be two eclipses of the sun, and two of the Moon ; but, of these, only one will be visible in Ireland ; namely an eclipse of tho moon, on the 10th of April, These phenomena will occur inthe following order:... MARCH 25.... An eclipse of the Sun... Visible throughout the greater part of the South Pacific Ocean, in some parts of which it will be total. It will also be partly visible in New Zealand, Van Dieman's Land, and in the Western parts of south America. APRIL 10.... An cclipse ofthe moon... It will commence soon after midnight of tile 9th ; the time at all places under the same meridian, being as follows :... Beginning ot eclipse, 8 minutes past 0, morning ; middle, 35 minutes past 1, morning ; end, 1 minute past 3, ditto. Magnitude of the eclipse, seven digits and a quarter, on the moon's Northern limb. SEPTEMBER 1 8 . . . . A n eclipse of the sun... Visible at Washington, United States, where it will be nearly central ; it will, also, bo annular at Philadelphia and New York ; and it will bo a partial cclipsc throughout the entire of North America, the West India islands, and a small part of South America. Tho annulus, at. New- York, will occur at 37 minutes past 4, in the afternoon. OCTOBER 3... An eclipse of the Moon... Visible throughout the entire of Asia and Australia. Its magnitude will be rather more than 11 digits, on the Moon's Northern limb. MERCURY will bu visible, for a few evenings, after sunset, about the 25th of April; on which evening, he will be occulted by the Moon. This planet will, also, again be visible, for a few mornings, before sunrise, abouth the 5th of October ; on which occasion, he and Venus will be very near each other for several days. Venus will be an evening star, until the 5th of March ; then a morning star, until the 18th of December ; a few weeks before which time, she will be lost in the Sun's rays, and continue invisible, during the remainder of the year. Her greatest elongation from the Sun will be ou the 14th of May ; and her greatest brilliance on the 29th of January, and the 10th of April. Mars will not be visible until July ; from which time, he will be observed in the morning twilight, gradually receding from the Sun; but he will not Attain the opposition, during the present year...

Tbe transactions in the public securities tbis week have been upon a more extensive scale than haB been the case for a long time past. The reduction in the value of the funds last week, occasioned by the news received from Canada, induced large purchases by the speculators for a rise, with tbe view of supporting the market, and of enabling tbem to balance their accounts upou comparatively favourable terms previously til the settling day, which, however, will not arrive for rather above a fortnight. The Hebrew party, it is understood, were considerable holders of stock before the recent rapid decline in prices, and it. is estimated that they have this week increased tlieir operations to the amount of at least half amillionsterling. bv purchases at the reduced prices given in the early part of tbe week. Confidence lias since increased, the contents of the official despatches received from Lower Canada of the operations against the rebels being considered satisfactory, and a reaction has taken place in consols for account of | per cent. It isevident that the public genenerally have not taken alarm at the state of affairs inCanada, the supply of money stock not having been much more than equal to tbe demand. The commissioners for reduction of the debt on Wednesday purchased about 8,0001. Threc- and a half- per cents, at 98, which, it. is understood, was on account, of the depositors in Savings' Banks. These purchases. aithough tl. ey arc not for large amounts, still bavo a considerable influence on the market, as the stock is considered as wholly withdrawn from circu: ation. Tbe present quotations of tbe funds arc still from l t o l j per cent, below the bijrh value realized previously to the receipt of the intelligence from Canada of the commencement ofthe civil war in tbat colony. Money has been in much demand within the last few days, aud it has been worth full five per cent, on stock, Considerable sums will be required next week for payments into the Customs anil Excise, and other departments of the public revenue, previously to the termination of the financial qnarter. The revenue for the quarter which is now nearly at its closc, will it is expected, from the state of tbe receipts as far as they have come in, prove much more favourable than was anticipated. The improvement has taken place in trade within the last three months has been greater than was calculated upon, the termination of the year usuallybringingwith it acessation of animation iu several important branches of commerce. It is fully cxpected that the accounts for the present quarter will exhibit a better result than the return made up to the corresponding period of last year. The continued improvement in tbe ratesof the foreign exchanges, indicating an abundance of bills, is a sure criterion ofthe improvement in demand for manufactures and goods for the Continental markets, The facility with which money could be obtained here even during the late extreme pressure in trade, induced by many holders of produce. both foreign aud colonial, to' send their goods to this market, where sales were made at low prices. The result has been, tbat tbe stocks of many of the important staples abroad have become low, and considerable sales have been made for rexportation at advanced rates, thus increasing the number of connental bills and enhancing the rate of continental exchanges— Money for commercial purposes has consequently been scarce for ome'duys past, and this state of things will continue ' titl the payment of the quarterly dividend, wliieh will take place next week. Another cause of the increased demand for money is stated to be the remittances which have been made on account of laige sales of Dutch stock here previously to the late fall in this species of investment. It is stated in the City with some confidencc to- day, that her Majesty's Ministers have under consideration the propriety of recommending to Parliament, immediately after the re- asscmbling of both Houses, an increase both in the army and the navy. The augmentation of the former, it is stated, wiil be from 15,000 to 20,000 men, and in tho latter from 5,000 to 10,000. Tbe aif'airs of Canada wiil render it necessary that the troops in that direction should be greatly increased, orders to that purport, in fact, having already been given. In the dock- yards tbere has been a great number of additional hands placed upon full employment, preparatory to an increase of the British fleet. There are various topics at, present on the tapis which have induced an apprehension that this country may not maintain— unless indeed a strong demonstration bo made to assert its dignity .. friendly relations with some of its present allies. The increase of the Russian fleet is considered as affording ample ground for an augmentation of the British navy. The unfriendly tone of the Message of the President of the United States upon the boundary question, and the recommendations of Van Buren to Congress for tha formation of establishments for founding cannon and other military stores, and an increase of the army and navy of America, is another reason why our Ministers should increase the naval and military departments. Lastly, the necessity of considerable reinforcements being dispatched to Canada. it another ground why our national establishments should be placed upon a more efficient footing.

The population of the district mustered in very large numbers, all tbe stab ling of tbe various inns was found insufficient to accommodate the horses, and the town was never before known to be so full of company. The sport was conducted under the management of Mr. B. Blades Thompson and Mr. Thomas Briggs. Tho circuit marked out was as follows :... To start at Stultoa Cross Hall, above mile and a half from Tadcaster, and to run in the form of a horseshoe, crossing the Turnpike, and arriving at the winning post in a very large swarth field belonging to Mrs. Kidd, near Tadcaster. This route afforded an excellent opportunity of seeing to the spectators, of whom there could not bo less th- An from 3,000 to 4,000 present. Tbe start took place at two o'clock, and off went the brave and gallant heroes of the chase, " neck or nought," preceded by a host of equestrians, and came in as follows : — Sweepstakes of 10 BOVS each for any borse'earrying 11 stone, thorough bred horses to carry 141b extra.

Sir Wm. and Unknown then took the lead of the sthors about 100 yds. but both of them refusing to jump out of the lane, they lost a great deal pf ground. Daisy Cutter was first out, and Deceiver na* r, tile former having tho decided lead over the remaining fences wl they came to the last but one— the sever est lean ill the race, which Daisy Cutter refused. SirWilliam then came up, having made up lost ground over some ploughed fields: he hesitated at the last fence, but young M'Donough cleared it in a beautiful manner. Deceiver then came out, and took his placc alongside with Sir William, Daisy Cutter having bolted through the hedge, refusing to take the leap. Sir William kept the lead in the last field ; but slackening his pace in going down tbe hill to the winning post, a countryman shouted out. " Go it, Thompson! thou'lt have him ; ' tuther's done," and Dcceiver sprung forward, and after a splendid race, won by about a length. Mr Arnold fell at the last fence, and was dragged a few yards in the stirrup, but he was not much injured- The'pace was very severe the greater part of the race.

MANSION HOUSE. NON- PAYMENT OF TITHES HY THE QUAKERS.. . Application having been made to tbe Lord Mayor for a warrant to compel Mr. Thomas Bevan, a member of the Society of Friends, to pay £ 1 5 8s. 9d. for tithes, Brand, the marshalman, was sent, accompanied by the collector and broker, to put the warrant inio execution, and the goods of the defendant were seized 011 his premises, and Monday next appointed for the sale. This day the Lord Mayor received the following communication from Mr. B. " Queen- street, Cheapside, 30th of 12th, 1837. " Respected Friend— I a, 11 a member of the Society of Friends, and have within the last few days suffered a distraint for a claim of £ 1 5 8s. 9d. for tithes, for nine and a quarter years, the warrant for which was signed by thee. " I need scarcely assure thee that Friends, consideringthe^ impost of tithes anti- Christian, passively resist their payment,\ md have done so from their origin a3 a people to tho present timo. " Now what I complain of is, that household furniture which I cannot rcplaco under £ 4 5 should have been taken to satisfy the claim of £ 1 5 8s. 9( 1. and that by warrant contrary to law. May I request thy attention to the case"? " I am respectfully, THOMAS BEVAN. " The articles taken are as follows :— A complete set of diningtables ; good mahogany sofa ; two good arm- chairs , and chair; mahogany book- stand ; brass fender and fire- irons; a Turkey rug; new drugget." Tbe LORD MAYOR, addressing the marshalman, asked how it happened that so large a quantity of furniture was seized to pay so small an amount? Brand said that the collector bail brought in a broker who had made the selection, and that lie ( Brand) could not of course interfere. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the defendant would take back the goods after they were sold at the price at which they might be disposed of 1 . . Mr, Hobler replied in the negalive. The defendant would not under any circumstances pay the tithe either directly or indirectly. Brand said in order that tbe goods should not go off at a sacrifice, he should attend on Monday, and buy tliem in for the defendant. Mr. IIOBLER : The defendant will not redeem them if you do There should be some arrangement to meet tbis matter. Goods seized for tithes are generally sold at a ruinous sacrifice. The LORD | M A Y O R immediately sent for the Collector and the broker employed upon the occasion. The Collector was unable to attend in consequence of illness, but the broker made his ap pearance. ' t he LORD MAYOR then inquired of tbe broker why he had seized so large a quantity of goods to covcr so small an amount . . T h e broker said that no more property should be sold than would discharge the Hector's demand. These would not fetch £ 18, and there were expenses to be paid. The LORD M A Y O R . . What is the course of your proceeding! Broker.. We put a value upon the property, and offer it to the defendant first. The LORD MAYOR. . But lie would not take it on account of religious scruples, and you knew that 1. . Broker. . Certainly ; we offer it to the partner then, and afterwards we offer it to the public. The LORD M A Y O R . . And you frequently appropriate it to yourselves?.. Broker.. No ; we never do. I made the seiiure on the first day in order to prevent expense. The Lord Mayor.. but all this furniture must not go at a sa crifice; the Collector must attend on Monday, on which day it appears the sale is lo take place... The Broker sail lhat he would attend with the Collector on Monday, bul he trusted the matter would be settled. J U V E N I L E THIEVES. At the Mansion- house two boys, named M'Cormac and Hadlam. were charged with having stolen as much lead as they could carry from premises occupied by the workmen of Mr. Chadwick the builder. An officer saw the two prisoners movingjulong tinder theirburdens, and asked them what they carried. They replied without hesitation that they were going home with potatoes, and M'Cormac with so Irish an accent that he almost gained credit for what be said. He, however, had something about him which the officer did not consider genuine, and a more particular inquiry was the consequence. M'Cormac, who is only thirteen years old, said Please you, my Lord, we did'nt sack the lead. I'll tell you how it was! This bov and me were going along the street near a gateway, and 1 spies a man wot was looking about to see how the land lay ; so I knowed he was arter no good, and I says stop a bit ; so I looks at him a minute, and he tried to sit over a summit to hide from us wot we had, and I looks at him again, and then lie seed that I knowed how the land lay, and he says to us, you won't tell nobody, will you 1 No, says we, we don't want to tell nobody ; but 1 kept looking at him, and then says he, you may have lliis bit, and so we tuck a bit a- piece, and that's how we got it. The LORD M A Y O R — I shall send you both to Bridewell for two months ; tor, if I discharge you, you will begin to thieve the moment you get out. M'Cormac.. No we wont, my Lord ; we never means to do anything but what's rightagain. It's no good to be going about prigging. The other boy said that as the man gived ' em the stuff it could not be said that they prigged i t ; but, he supposed, if they bought it it would be all the same, and as tbat was the case it was no use 10 be honest. They were then committed to Bridewell. DESTITUTION. A poor unfortunate Irishman, named Griffiths, was charged with having broken a pane of glass in a baker's shop. He smashed the. glass, and afterwards, upon getting some bread, he devoured it almost ravenously. The LORD MAYOR.— Did he take the bread when he broke tbe class 1 Officer.— No my lord ; lie did'nt touch it, but he stared at it. I have heard so good a character of him that I am sure, although starving, he would not have taken a morsel of it. The LORD MAYOR— It is most extraordinary that a man with so good a character could not get employment. Prisoner— I am unable to work, my lord. I am full of wounds and sores, or I could get it to do. The LORD MAYOR— How did you get info such a dreadful condition ? Prisoner— Fighting in Spain. The LORD MAYOR— Under General Evans ? Prisoner— Yes. I am quite useless... not able to do anything for a morsel of victuals. The LORD MAYOR— Have you got any friends in Ireland 1 Prisoner... I don't know, my lord, that any one I know there is alive ; 1 have been twenty- live years away from it, The LORD MAYOR. . I t is lamentable to see a fellow- creature in so desolate a condition. Let him be taken care of in the Compter for a few days, and let his necessities be tenderly administered to, and we shall then see what can be done for him. I R E L A ND THE IRISH GOVERNMENT. 6,645 5,384 3,748 From the Examiner. We have observed with the greatest satisfaction that Lord Mulgrave's late speech has appeared in the form of a pamphlet.— Too much pains cannot be taken to give circulation to this most mporlant document, and we should strenuously recommend its publication in a shape still more likely to promote its general diffusion. The demonstration given in this speech of the moral improvement which has been effected in Ireland under this government is as rigid as any proof in mathematics. We shall direct the reader's attention to a few of the leading facts. It will be remembered that when the deranged or demoralised state of Ireland is spoken of by way of contrast to the superior order and morality of England, the reference is not to such offences as larcenies and petty misdemeanours, but to crimes ofa darker die and more daring character. Lord Mulgrave, therefore, selectsout of theconstabulary returns 16 various heads of crime, including every description of offence accompanied with violence, or indicating violent habits, and he exhibits the total of these offences for the first nine months ofthe six years from 1832 to 1837 inclusively. The reason of taking the first nine months, and not the whole year, was that when the speech was delivered the returns were mada up only to Sept. last. The table is as follows:— 1832 7,460 | 18% 1833 5,547 1836 1834 6,016 I 1837 A diminution to the extent of nearly threo thousand on a comparison of 1837 with the year in which the government carne into power 1 It will be observed how the atrocious crimes suddenly shot up from 6,010 in 1834 to 6,645 in 1835, in which latter year the Tories were in office. To be sure there was a general election in 1835, but then there was also a general eleclion in 1837. Mark the difference between the effects of this exciting event under Lord Haddington and under Lord Mulgrave I— Nearly three thousand crimes of violence. We believe it is Mr. Moore who observes, that we can trace the administration of the Tories through the history of Ireland as a wounded man is tracked by his blood. In their attempts to shake a demonstration so clear as the above table affords of the growth of order under the present government, it is little wonder that the Tories have been pushed to the extreme absurdity . of upbraiding it with an increase of committals and convictions, a fact, as ( Lord Mulgrave remarks) " perfectly compatible with the actual decrease of crime, whena system of greater vigour in administering the law and in bringing offenders to justice is proved to bave been adopted." The best proof that such a syslem has been adopted is contained in the admissions of the Duke of Wellington and Lord Donoughmore, to which, in a former article, wecalled the attention of our readers. Lord Donoughmore's account of the energy of Lord Mulgrave's government was actually rapturous. " No Viceroy for the last twenty years had enforced the law so vigorously as the Noble Earl." Amongst other laws which the present government has carried into execution with unprecedented firmness, although with singular clemency, was the party procession act, under which several hundred Orangemen were committed in the year 1836. Thus, if increase of committals proves increase of crime, the argument cuts both ways, and affects the Protestants of the North as much as the Catholics of the South. Indeed tbe wlioleattack upon the Irish government has been a series of tbe most fatal blunders. What but actual insanity can have impelled the Tories to arraign tbe mode in which the prerogative of mercy has been used by Lord Mulgrave, the fact being lhat the only large exercise ol it has been in favour of the offenders of their own party, . the Orangemen of Ulster 1 The comparative view of Ireland, with respect tocrime, forms one of the most interesting portions ofthe masterly speech before us. The tacts stated by Lord Mulgrave are exhibited in the following table : 1836. Convictions at Assizes & Quarter Sessions. Summary Convictions. Totals. Ireland, England and Wales. 10,000 14,000 8,000 53,000 18,009 67,000 THE TIMBER TRADE. ( From the city article of the Morning Chronicle of Saturday.) Much anxiety is beginning to be felt in the Timber trada as to the consequences of the present Canadian revolt. Those who have large capitals invested in shipping, saw- mills, or forest lands, which have bees purchased for operations in lumbering, are looking forward with great eagerness for an early account of the restoration of tranquillity, and the regular commencement of the trade IU the spring of the year. The feeling in the city is that this view of the anticipated consequences of the present disturbances in Canada is well worthy of the attention of the legislature, and that that some precautionary measure for providing the usual we as unscrupulous as our opponents, and as anxious to depreciate England as they are to malign Ireland, we should grasp with avidity at the prima facie evidence which this table affords, of a vast superiority on the part of Ireland, the total crime of Ireland being considerably less than one- third of the total crime of England, while the Irish population is consideiably more than one- half of the English. The truth, however, is, that the relative morality of the countries is not to be deduced from this table without much allowance and correction. On the part of England, for instance, a large allowance is to be made, on the ground of the existence of laws not in force in Ireland, w hich raise the amount of summary convictions so vastly above those in the latter country. The Game and Bastardy Laws are examples. Lord Mulgrave estimates the convictions, to be referred to these and other laws peculiar to England, at about 33,000. Deducting this amount from the total in the table, the relative amounts of Irish crimes and English will be 18,000 and 34,000, a proportion of 9 to 17, while that of the populations is 8 to 14, giving tbe advantage still to Ireland. Ireland, however, shall not escape tiiuseasily : it appears that onthe foot of the crimes cognizable at assizes and quarter- sessions the balance is against her, the proportion of crimes of this serious kind committed in Ireland being to those cemmitted in England as 5 to 7, whereas it ought to be no more than 4 to 7, having regard to the relative population. Upon ibis result we can make no more just and natural reflection than that made by the noble speaker— " But who, my lords, that looks to the state of society in that country— who that reflects on the manner in which it has been treated— who that considers the grievous evils with which it has been afflcted, productive of the greatest destitution and misery— who tbat looks at these things can be surprised at this relative proportion of offences in the two countries? Again, in the following fine passage, the same prolific cause of disorder, . the prevalence of a state of destitution— is powerfully alluded to :— We do not pretend, my lords, to any magic charm; we make use of no animal magnetism to draw tho hearts of a willing and peaceful people to their sovereign and her government ; we depend, my lords, entirely upon the natural result of cause and effect; we endeavour to induce a reciprocal feeling of confidence between the governors and the governed, and our influence is founded onthe reliance of the people on the administration of justice, and on the feeling which pervades all the nation that the English will unite in procuring for Ireland that justice which she not ' formerly experienced But, my Lords, whilst in connexion with political tranquillity thus produced, there is this desire on tile part of the government, to give everv moral feeling a proper direction, we cannot expect that thi « feeling on the part of the Irish people will be complete whilst tbere exists in full force one vicious ingredient in tho social system, which has reduced the mass of the populaton to the lowest level, I may almost say of destitution. For ourselves, let us reilerate the astonishment that we have often expressed at the patience, the moderation, and the tranquillity of the worst used people who breathe the air of heaven, almost the only privilege that their ruthless oppressors have left them.

The people of Ireland 1 No I not the people of Ireland, but the false and wicked faction that defames them. The crime, the outrage, the anarchic doings, that disfigure and disgrace Ireland, are not to be found in the constabulary returns, nor do the clerks of the crown chronicle them.

This is the season for procuring the timber in a proper condition, as regards the sap ; but it is thought that very little, if anything, can be going on, for great numbers of the lumberers are either in the ranks of the rebels, enlisting as volunteers to the , , or the exterminations of the landlord. These are ihe crimes that characterize Ireland ; these the disturbances of her peace ; these the outrages that require the strong arm of British justice to repress them.

They deprecate the rewill, perhaps, be raised to an exorbitant pricein the absence of sup- turn to power of an administration in whom all their oppressors plies from Canada, and the almost, prohibitory duty levied upon the would find warm encouragement and sure support; in whom the Baltic wood. In anticipation of these difficulties, it is to be hoped rapacity of the churchmen would bave a shield, and the cruelty of that parliament will pass a temporary act for the reduction of the the landlord a protection and a stimulus. In the speech before duty upon the timber of Prussia, and the Baltic states, in order us, the people of Ireland hear a language such as never before that the shipping usually employed 111 the Canadian trade may sounded in their ears, from the day the English foot first pressed be enabled to find freights from these places, and that the price their soil until the present government entered on ils functions, of limber may not be raised tn an extravagant rate: Should the civil war in Canada continue throughout tbe winter, the price of timber will, no doubt, soon advence in the norther ports; and should not the duty be lowered to an extent sufficient to encourage the admission of the article at a moderate rate, it is apprehended a stagnation will ensue in the business of shipowners, shipbuilders, and in the numerous mechanical trades generally which depend upon supplies of the raw material. This would probably be a suitable opportunity, it is also thought, it the different circles in the city, for the permanent revision of the whole scale of timber duties ; but some temporary measure is looked forward to, at all events, should not the accounts, before the assembling of parliament, represent the matters in a more favourable light in Canada. In compliance with a memorial from a Special Sessions hold at Dungarvan. the Lord Lieutenant, in Council, has under the Act6 and 7 William 3, entitled " An Act to extend the jurisdiction, and regulate the proceedings of the Civil bill courts in Ireland," annulled from and after Hilary Term, 1838, the present division of the County of Waterford, and divided the County into tho following three divisions, each to have four Sessions in the year Waterford,. comprising the baronies of Gaultier, Middlethird, and Upperthird, and the parish of Rossmire in Decics Without.— Dungarvan, comprising Glenahelra, Decies Within, and Decies Without, except the parishes of Rossmire ami Affane I.

( From, a Second Edition of the Times of Monday.) We have received by the kindness of a gentleman, just arrived from Canada, by way of the United States, the New York Courier of the 11th, and the Montreal Herald of the 5th instant, tbe following intelligence :— LATEST FROM CANADA. ( From the New York Courier.) The detachment of British troops under Col. Gore, that marched upon St. Dennis by the way of Sorel, entered and occupied that village on the morning of the 2d instant, subsequently took possession of St. Charles, and were left at the last accounts marching upon St. Hvacinthe in pursuit of Papineau and Nelson, who were supposed to have fled in that direction. St. Charles and the other villages on the Richelieu are to be occupied until further orders. It is stated in the Montreal Courier, that the howitzer, and 5 wounded men, left behind on the 23d ult., were recovered, and that the property of Nelson and the houses from which he and his companions fired upon the British troops, were burned. The present gathering- place of the insurgents, if the Montreal papers may be believed, is in the county of the Lake of the Two Mountains— from which many of the loyal families have fled... and where it is said thev have block houses and other fortifications, at St. Eustache, Grand Brule, and other strong, holds. Several additional arrests had been made in the district ofVIontreal. On the 1st inst. Toussaint Peltier andCome SeraphinCherrier, Advocate of the city of Montreal, and the latter M P. P. for the county, were duly committed to the common gaol on this charge. On the same day, a man named Pierre Claude Phaneuf, of St. Damas, was arrested at St. John's, the several witnesses declaring him to have been one of those who fired on the cavalry near Longuell. The steam- boat Varennes, which arrived on the evening of the 2d from Sorel, brought up Dr. P. A, Dorion, M. P. P. for Champlain, and Louis Moge, who were arrested at St, Ours the evening previous, during the visit of the troops to that village. An arrest for sedition has also taken place, of a man namedWm. Doran, who has been admitted to bail. Lord Gosford, Capt.- General and Commander- in- Chief ill and over the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, has issued a proclamation, under date of the 29th ult., callina; on the disaffected and malcontent inhabitants of the Lower province to return to their allegiance, assuring them that her Majesty's government is more ' desirous to forget than to resent injuries,' and that within that sanctuary they will ' experience, no further molestation.' We learn from Upper Canada that the magistrates of Kingston have been engaged in bringing to light some treasonable designs, and in arresting a correspondence with some individuals in the district hitherto suspected of disaffection to tho Government. It is stated in the Kingston Chronicle tbat their efforts have been successful, and that letters filled with insurrectionary views, plans and exhortations have fallen into their hands, which they have despatched to the seat of government to be submitted to the Crown Officers. ( Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer.) BURLINGTON, DEC. 7.— The northern mail has just arrived. I have seen a gentleman... an acquaintance... by the stage, who says that volunteers, 100 in number, left. Swanton Yesterday for Canada, with muskets, powder, two cannon, and that they reached Missisque bay, where they were attacked by tho Royalists, and af- . ter a hard battle thepatriots were driven back, with the loss of one man killed, three wounded, and the loss of one cannor. and a few muskets. Yesterday the mail arrived from Montreal, with only one letter and no papers. No papers from Montreal sinee Friday. The Rovalists are fortifving the whole of the Canada line, by Swanton,' Higbgate, & c. ' and families are leaving for the States every day. The Winooski steam- boat left here last night for St. John's and will probablv return to night laden with passengers. The streets at Montreal ' are all well barricaded. Monied affairs in Canada are in a deplorable condition. The banks are all guarded bv the regular troops. Men in bussiness can obtain but very slight accommodation, and none but Royalists are accommodated at all. Canada money not taken at the banks there. ( From the Montreal Herald.) Last evening, at 8 o'clock, the steamer Varennes arrived in port from Sorel. having on board Lieut. Sweeny, Royal Montreal Cavalry, who has returned in ill health. Four prisoners were brought up at the same time, accused of high treason, viz. :... Charles Gouin, Alexis Peloquin, and tbe Chapdelaines ( father and son.) Colonel Gore, as we understand, has proceeded to St. Charles and St. Hyaeinthe to root out the rebels. St. Denis has been burnt from the entrance of the villagQ, including Wolfred Nelson's house. Marcoux's monument totally destroyed. Every search was made for Mr. Weir's body, but it could not be found ; it is supposed that his corpse has been thrown into the river. Proclamations have at last been issued, offering rewards for the apprehension of the principal traitors. The rewards appear to be graduated according to the rascality of the parties, viz. :— L. J. Papineau, £ 1,000 ; Dr. Wolfred Nelson, Thos. S. Brown, E, B. O'Callaghan, M. P. P., C. H. O. Cote, M. P. P., Joseph E. Drolet, M P. P., J. J. Girouard, M. P. P. William Henry Scott, M. P. P., E. E. Rodier, M. P. P., Amury Girod, Jean O. Cornier, £ 500 ; Pierre Paul Detnaray, Josepn F. Davigr. on, Julieu Gagnon, Pierre Amiot, Timothe Franchere, Louis Perrault Alphonse Gavvin, Louis Gauthier, Rod, Desriviers. £ 100. We understand that the rebels have evacuated Saint Cesaire after having completely sacked the store of Mr, Chaffers, a loyal magistrate there, We are sorry to learn that they have got hold of Mr. Chaffers' notes and obligations, though we hear his books are saved. Mr. Chaffers's loss cannot be estimated at less than £ 3,000, as we are informed. His clerks again took possession on Friday last, and closed up every thing, it not being considered prudent for Mr. Chaffers to return amongst them for the present. The Montreal Herald contains a long proclamation by Lord Gosford, dated Nov. 29. which the Herald censures for its moderate and " almost absolute impunity" held out to the rebels We have not room for it at present. The gentleman to whom wo are indebted for these papers, has also favoured us with the following statement:—• " The writer left Montreal on the 6th. Colonel Gore had returned from Saint Denis with the troops, and the body of Lieutenant Weir, which was found buried on the banks of the Richelieu, near a tannery ; his face was so mangled that he could not be recognised but from his dress. The rebel party had returned from St Denis. Colonel Gore met with the armed body on his route. Papineau as yet has not been traced, he is no doubt in the province, and it will be difficult for him to get out, as a sharp look out is made for him by the Americans for the reward. I saw Franchere, Loapias, Mongear, and Manchaud, at Highgate ; at Swanton, there are Dr. Coke, Drolet, Davignoo, Demaray, and Rodirr, and several are also at Burlington ; these three last places are in the State of Vermont. All through that State there seemed a very great anxiety for the success of these rebels, and at Albany and Troy they were raising a subscription for arms and ammunition. ' Ihe two pieces of cannon the rebels had at Missique Bay they obtained in Vergennas, also in Vermont. On the morning of the 7th, it was supposed, or rather reported, that Colonel Wetherail would march against General Brule ; depositions had been -. nade in Montreal that they had deserted their camp there, after the unfavourable account of the battle of St. Charles." FROM A SECOND EDITION OFTHEMORNING CHRONICLE. ( From theNew York Morning Herald of Dec. 11.) We are informed from an official source, that depositions were taken before the British commercial agent in this city, and dispatched to England by yesterday's packet, relative to the enlistment and recruitinggoing on in Vermont for the insurgents, and the supplies of arms and provisions introduced into the province from thence. With what face great Britain can remonstrate on the countenance given to the Canadians by the sympathy of individuals, after her national interference in the affairs of Spain and Portugal. it is not easy to perceive. If even our government openly abetted the revolters this argument would have some force ; how much more so. when the only aid and encouragement is from the favorable sentiments of a few isolated individuals. Weadd another letter from our correspondent. ST. JOHN'S ( LOWER CANADA) DEO, 4, 1837. . . . Every person able to bear arms is expected to enroll his name as a volunteer, and be ready to march to all points where the magistrates or military officers direct. The greatest excitement prevails in Montreal, and altho' the apprehension of assault diminished, the busy note of preparation is very audible—- That the winter will be an awful one there is no doubt. The success of Col. Wetherall at St. Charles has had the good effect of making the majority of the hubitans waver in the resolution to join those in arms, but their disposition is the same, and the discomfiture of the troops will be the signal for a general rise. The annoyances of a civil war are invisibly felt in the very outset of the miserable contest. The roads are thronged by amateur partisans of the Government, who exercise a rigorous surveillance oh all coming to Canada, or travelling to the States. 1 have had a a good deal of conversation with gentlemen coming through from Montreal with their families, to decosit them in a place of safety on the other side of the lines. They apprehended a long and obstinate contest, as an indomitable spirit prevails among the Canadians, and their wives and children are as enthusiastic as the men ; the latter have perilled their lives, while the former commit tlieir household goods and agricultural property to the flames, wherever and whenever the troops approach. Tbe war will be a desultory one, and the antique legend of Cadmus and tlieDragon's tooth will be revived during the present winter. The rebels are nothing daunted by the result of the St. Charles affair: every body feels that the worst has not yet come. There are not more than 3.380 regulars on this continent; and how they are to defend the cities, and the expanse of country during the winter; is a question that considerably puzzles my philosophy— About 5,000 loyalist volunteers may be raised, but their fanaticism is as troublesome to the Government as the open hostility to the Canadians. The Hou. Robert Jones, with a corps of Stanstead and St. Armand people, is scouring the country between here and the lines, examining travellers. It is singular that his partizans are either Americans or their sons. I am convinced the Canadians cannot ealculateon any demonstration of support from the township people; they hold their lands by the " free and common socage tenure'' to which the Canadian seigneurs are so opposed; the Assembly has frequently questioned the right of the Crown to concede lands in this manner. If they got tlie upper hand they would dispossess the American settlers, or make them change the tenure; or in some way or other give them trouble, having taken the oath of allcgiance the latter cling to the authority under which they hold; and not having a sixpence to pay fur roads, schools, or any township contributions, not even their clergy, they see lio reason to be dissatisfied— Respectfully your=. P A P I N E A U I N N E W Y O R K. The New York Weekly Herald of the 9th ult. gives the following account of Papineau and his doings : — " We have reason to know, that, for the last week very active measures have been taken to forward armed auxiliaries to the Canadian frontier, there to abide the directions of those entrusted wilh the general details of the insurrection. The process is a j curious one. The candidate for tho glory of overthrowing the j British domination on this continent, walks into a barber's j shop, and instead of equipping himself in the dressing gown, and holdiog out his chin for the brush, he marches onwards i into a little room where there is a gentleman. seated, who j takes down his name and residence. He is then told that j Jjis services will bs required for two or three years probably, and is furnished with monev to convey him to a certain point on the lines, where he will be supplied with uniform, clothing, and arms- In this way about 200 men have been dispatched to join the forces of the revolutionists. We also learn that about 130 barrels ot gunpowder in the shape of butter kegs have been smuggled across the frontier into Lower Canada." ME. PAPINEAU IN THIS CITT, Sec— We understand that a Frenchman pointed out Mr. Papineau to Mr. Fountain, the keeper of the citv prison. The honourable speaker and agitator ot Lower Canada was on the wharf waiting to go board the Albany steam- boat, on Thursday afternoon, when Mr. Fountain s attention was called to him; he probably has been making the arrange - ments alluded to in another article for supplying lus partisans with munitions of war and auxiliaries. A gentleman, the proprietor of a newly- invented heldpiece that discharges some thirtv bullets in as many seconds, is anxious to devote this implement" of destruction to the patriot cause, but he very naturally wishes to know the condition of their funds— Can any one inform us? | I ' l U C F .

CORK, THURSDAY, JANUARY^, 1838, VERY IMPORTANT FROM CANADA. FURTHER DESPATCHES FROM SIR J. COLBORNE. The London Mail of Monday which arrived this morning has brought important Intelligence from Canada, contained in Despatches from Sir J O H N COLBORNE, dated from Montreal, December 5 ; in Montreal Papers of the same date, and in New York Journals of the 11th:— In our preceding Columns will be found all the extracts furnished by the Times and Morning CArmicle of Monday— both of which published Second Editions to gaatify the great anxiety which prevails— from the New York and Canada Papers ; and below will be found a demi- official condensation of the Despatches from Sir J O H N COX- BORNE, published in the Globe of Monday evening, with articles, in reference to the general nature and complexion of the intelligence, from the other evening Journals. They will all be read with deep interest. We shall merely direct attention to one point, which, prospectively, is of the greatest consequence. It is said, that an application has been made by the British Authorities, to the Government of theUnitedStates, asking for a passage for British Troops through the States to Canada, and demanding an explanation of certain recruiting movements going on in the States of New York and New England, in aid of the revolted Canadians. The New York Morning Herald, which states these eircumstances, certainly does not under- rate their importance when it says, that " the reply of the P R E S I D E N T will be looked for with great and paramount solicitude by the whole country." We commend the article in the New York Paper to the special attention of the Reader. THE FUNDS. CITY, 12 O'CLOCK, MONDAY... Towards the close of the Consol Market on Saturday afternoon, the Funds became heavy, and Consols closed at 92 buyers for the Account. This turn of the market was owing to information being received, that the French Government were preparing an Army of Observation on the Northem frontier, towatch the movements of the Russian troops, which were said to be proceeding towards the Rhine and Luxembourg. The preparations making byGovernment to send troops to Canada had an effect on the market. as well as the report on ' Change that Ministers, on the meeting of parliament, would propose an increase both of the Army and Navy. Consols opened this morning at 92^ -, Exchequer Bills, 2Jd., 44 46 prem. ; Ditto, 2d. 42 44 ; India Bonds 25 prem.; Bank Stock 204 § ; India Bonds 266£ for the opening.

" Despatches have been this day received from Sir John Colborne, dated Montreal December 5, from which it apappears that Colonel Gore, with eight companies and three field pieces, entered St. Denis on tho 2d, meeting with no resistance, the habitants having previously dispersed. Tbe stone house which had been occupied by the rebe's on the previous occasion was burned— the howitzer was also recovered. Colonel Gore was also to proceed on tho 3d by St. Charles towards St. Hyacinthe, where it was reported that some of the leaders had retired ; but it^ did not appear that the habitans were assembling there. There seemed every reason to believe that the habitans who had taken up arms oil the Richelieu had returned to their homes. " At the date of Sir J. Colborne's despatch iier Majesty's troops eewipied St. John's, Chambly, St. Charles, St. Denis, S'. Ours, and Sorel, ill the neighbourhood of which places there was then no appearance of disturbance, We regret to learn tbat Lieut. Weir, who. it will be remembered, had been made prisoner in endeavouring to gain liis detatchmcnt, was murdered at St. Denis." ( F R OM THE S U N .) Important intelligence from Lower Canada .. for which wc are indebted to two ol our Morning Contemporaries... will be found in our columns of this day. There is not the remotest chance of the civil war being put down before the opening of the navigation of the St. Lawrence in May next. It will be seen from the accounts received that Lord Gosford has issued a proclamation offering a freo and unqualified pardon to such of the insurgents as will lay down their arms and return in peace to their respective dwelling— a measure which the loyalists of Montreal and Quebec denounce as a scandalous concession to treason and rebellion. We differ in opinion from teese worthies, who, in their exeesssive loyalty, have an eye to the pillage of the country, or we are very much mistaken. Lord Gosford, in offering an amnesty to the Canadians, has redeem, deemed his character far humanity— lias acted in the spirit of the mission upon which he was first sent out as the Representative of the Crown in North America. It appears from the New York Pappers just received, that a stronger sympathy than we had anticipated, is felt for the insurgents in that city, and throughout the states ofNew York & NewEngiand. The presence of Papineau in the United States will not fail to have a powerful effect upon the citizens of theRepublie, who, trammellea by no foreign enlistment Act, may cross the frontier at any moment without incurring the wrath of their own Government In corroboration of this inauspicious view of the progress of the civil war, we quote tbe following extract from a leading article in the New York Mopiing Herald of the 11th December : " Throughout New England and New York, the popular feeling is unquestionably developing itself in favour of the Canadian insurgents, as they are called. The newspapers of this city are no accurate representative of the Atate of public sentiment in that part of the country encircling the Canadss. This sympathy with the revolutionists pervades both parties— but when it shall be known that the Administration takes sides with them also, it will gjve strength and intensity to tbe new sentiment. 14 In the city there are many secret movements going on in favour of the insurgents. The recent defeats by the Queen's troops are reckoned as nothing in the general chances of the contest. Manv begin to believe that the British Government will agree ultimately to a separation from Canada, in preference to the expenditure of blood and treasure which in the end will be thrown away without a purpose. Others again assert that the British authority in Canada will be maintained at any sacrifice, not for the intrinsic value of the province, but as a part of the great colonial system of England. " We confess, looking on the insurrection in Canada in every point of view, we see in that affair a deeper, intenser interest than on any other public question of the day. If the popular sympathy of New England and New York should run warmly in favour of the patriots, or insurgents ( when they gain a battle it will be time to call ttiem patriots), we are persuaded Mr. Van Buren would not hesitate one moment to plunge his country into a quarrel with Eogland, provided lie thought he would thereby secure his power, and turn the tide of the recent political revolution at the polls, in his own favour, and agaiust the Whigs. On a question of great national sentiment, such as that would be of the Canadian insurgents, the people would grow wild and unmanageable. All other questions, banks, finances, currency, & c. would sink to nothingness. " The reply of the President, therefore, to tho application already made by the British authorities, asking for a passage to their troops into Canada, and demanding an explanation of certain secret recruiting movements in this city and in New England, will be looked for with great and paramount solicitude by the whole country." This is altogether so different from the tone of the New York Press when the first announcement of the Civil War in Canada reached that city, that we cannot help expressing surprise at a change of opinion so complete as regards the feeling towards this country. Il would seem that instead of overflowing zeal in favour of England, our Government will have enough to do to obtain from President Van Buren an official guarantee for the observance of a strict neutrality. As to whether the United States' Government ought, or ought not, to allow the passage of British troops through the territory of the Union, we do not feel ourselves called upon to offer any opinion. Tho question is one which Congress has a right to decide upon in any way which it may deem most consonant vviththe honour and interests of the federal Government. The French Journals of Friday and Saturday have arrived, with letters from our Correspondents in Paris, Constantinople, Bayonne, and Saragossa. Paris, at least its Bourse, has been agitated by the movements in the French army towards the frontier of the north, occasioned by movements, it is said, of the Dutch army in Brabant. Tho fact relative to the march of French troops is, we understand, that a corps of 18,000 men is ordered to form at Metz, and that theDuke of ORLEANS left Paris on Friday night to either command it or inspect it. This is a strange contrast with the passage in the Royal speech declaring that never was France on better terms with Foreign Powers, nor the peace of Europe less likely to be troubled. Prussia has shown every desire to maintain peace, but the King of HOLLAND is not to be quieted. And it is known that the Emperor of RUSSIA continues to repeat those bitter and insulting expressions towards the reigning dynasty of France, which evinces the will, whenever he may have an opportunity, to avenge on France her sympathy for Poland. France is perfectly « ell able lo resist. But we think that France would have been spared all such incertitude had she, in concert with England, given peace to Spain, and thereby rendered the Quadruple Alliance, what it was intended to be, a formidable reality. The affair of Grunenwald has been referred to to the Diet. But the German Diet has of late shown no wish to act unfairly towards Belgium, and has made every effort to terminate the Luxemburgh quarrel. The Messager observes :— *' The Hoilando- Belgic affair seems to be assuming a serious aspect. It is certain that orders have been issued by the Minister of War for assembling with tbe utmost expedition a body of troops on the frontier, to form a corps of observation. This order has been occasioned chiefly by intelligence which has reached the government that several Prussian regiments have been sent into the Rhenish provinces. This movement may, however, be the result of the fermentation excited in Prussia by the affair at Cologne, as well the question raised on the pretensions ofHoliand with regard to the Forest of Grunenwald. The number of French troops about to be stationed on the eastern frontier, near Valencinnes and Maubeuge, will, it is said, be 35,000. Directions have been given that all the men who were to have furloughs on January 1st, for six months, are to be retained. The officers in Paris on leave, who went yesterday morning to the Etat Major, were directed to join their respective regiments ; and this measure will no doubt be general. Eight re giments are named aB being under orders for the frontier, and will be immediately put upon the war establishment. Three squadrons of the 3d Hussars in garrison at iUeux ; three of the 3d Lancers at Provins ; three of the 10th Dragoons; a battery oF the 3d regiment of Artillery in garrison at La Fere ; und a battery of the Artillery at Vincennes, will march from the 1st to 3d of January for Valenciennes and Maubeuge. Chef de Battalion DE GUISE, formerly aide- de- camp te the Duke DE RAGUSE, has been appointed aide- de camp to General AC- HARD. Information worthy of being relied upon leads us to believe that the Duke of Orleans reserves to himself the supreme command of the army of the North." According to the Commerce the Minister of War has given orders for the purchase of 6,000 horses to remount the artillery. The Ministerial evening journal is perfectly silent on this subject. A mysterious article from the Court Journal was published in the last Reporter, and is going the round ol the Journals, pointing to a rival noble Suitor for theQueen, in the person of the lineal descendant of the last of the STUARTS. The young nobleman alluded to is the MARQUESS of DOUGLAS and CLVDISDALE, eldes son of the Duke of Hamilton, and brother to the beautiful Lady LINCOLN, whose name has been so recently before the Public as having given rise to a late singular proceeding a Paris. The Marquis was born in 1811, and is, therefore in his 27th year; and his father, who sits in the House of Peers as Duke of Brandon, is the head of the Whigs of Scotland, and a strenuous supporter of the present administration. One of the ancestors of the family, James III. . Earl of Hamilton in 1561 aspired to the bands of Mary Queen of Seotts, but opposing the Queen in the exercise of her religion, he forfeited her favor, and inconsequence he lost his reason. Another ancestor, Lord John Hamilton, was the attached friend of the unfortunate MART, and as the reward of his unshaken fidelity one of the last acts of her life was to transmit to him a ring through the medium of one of her attendants on the scaffold Another ancestor, James, created Marquess of Clydesdale, espoused the cause ot his RoyalMaster and Kinsman, Charles L, and having been taken prisoner at the battle of Preston was beheaded in Old Palace Yard, on the 9th of March, 1649. Wm. the first Duke of HAMILTON, was mortally wounded in the service of Charles the 2nd, at the unfortunate battle of Worcester. The highest blood, the most illustrious lineage, the most devoted loyalty, and the sincerest attachment in the present family to li. beral principles, are happy earnests for the nation, should the rumoured alliance take place.

Surgeon Quinn, of the Richmond Hospital, Dublin, from some cause as yet unknown, swallowed a large quantity of Prussic acid on Friday, which launched him into eternity instantaneously. It is said that prior to committing the rash act, he had written two letters, which we suppose contain his reason... if reason there can be— for the commission of this horrible deed. CITY PRESENTMENT SESSIONS. TUESDAY— SECOND DAYThe Mayor took his seat on the Bench at half- past 12 o'Clock, with a full attendance of the Magistrates and Cess Payers who had been appointed on the previous day. There was a large assemblage of Rate- payers in the body of the Court. NEW ROAD TO BLARNEY. A proposal for a presentment was read, for making a new line of road to connect York Street and Blarney. Mr. HAYES objected to theproposil, inasmuch as several houses should be taken down, which would be the cause of breaking up many establishment1, and depriving a number of poor people of bread. Another line of road had been struck out which would suit the objects required, without entrailing any of tbe injuries which would arise from the projected line. He proposed that the road should enter York Street a little higher up than the present plan, by which they would only have to level a few stables, and would equally benefit the Public, while they improved the property around. The expenses for traverses on this latter line would" be next, to nothing, while the line now sought would entail great expense as heavy damages were looked for, Mr. J. M'MULLEN said he had the largest interest, yet, from the utility of the project, he would not do any thing to stop it. Mr. A. BEALE mentioned that he had subscribed to the making of the road, and that lie was ready to subscribe again, although he had paid Mr. Fitz- Gerald £ 200 over the amount of his contract for repairing the Commons road. Mr; ST. JOHN JEFFERYES, in support of the proposed presentment, said that only two houses were to be taken down by the projected line, and that one uf these being occupied by a baker, his removal might deprive several persons of bread. The line of road was not his, Mr. Jefferyes' but had been planned by the Surveyor, Mr. Leahy, and no independent gentleman, no man, rich or poor, would liavethe hardihood to say, that the road was not necessary, a road that would open so considerable a district of country, to this moment without a cart passage into the City. Mr. LEAHV having been called on for his opinion respecting the li ne, said that he had examined every part of the ground, and his decided conviction was, that the line proposed was the most eligible, and far better than Mr Hayes's line. It would be as cheap as Mr. Hayes's, and a much more elegant entrance. After some further discussion the proposal was passed with a sum of £ 2 0 0 on account of the expenses. MR. DEEBLE'S PRESENTMENT. The proposals for contracts being disposed of, the city establishment was entered on, and when the sum of 251. half- year's salary to the Grand Jury Secretary was read— Mr. DALY said that he thought that the proper time to inform the public of a matter which was very confidently stated to him, though he could not vouch for its accuracy. He was told that in consequence of a false representation having been made to the Judge last Assizes, a certain presentment had passed the Rate Session, while in truth the presentment was withdrawn. The presentment was ordered to be Bated. If the representation made was palpably false, or offered in such a way as to deceive the Court, it was a crime that ought to be severely censured. ( Hear, hear.) It was stated to him that Mr. Deeble's presentment was never before the Session, or merely before it, and then withdrawn, while it was stated to the Judge that it was before the Session and passed ; or the matter was stated to bim in a manner that was equally bad as it left a similar impression. Me, FRANKLIN said that what he stated to the Judge was literally the fact. He had Sergeant GREEN'S order to fiat the presentment, contradicting the allegation of any unfounded re. presentation having been made to him. It was read as follows— " It appearing from the certificate of the Secretary of the Grand Jury, that uotice was given by Mr. Deeble to the Rate Pavers at Special Sessions, on the 11th day of May, 1836. that he claimed £ 3,5000 for arrears due, not collectable by him. and that notice in writing to the same effect was then handed to the Secretary ; and it appearing from the original draft of the presentment that it was made on account of such arrears ; and that Mr. Deeble had made good the sum, I see no objection to the Bating of the presentment. " Richard W. Greene, Nov. 9, 1837." Mr. FRANKLIN said he felt grateful to Mr. Daly for giving him an opportunity of explaining, as reports had been " in circulation to his prejudice. A sum of £ 500 was applied for, for the Fever Hospital, and was augmented by the bench to £ 1000. Tbe salary of the Local Inspector of tho Gaol and Bridewell, Mr. J. C. Perry, was reduced from £ 100 to £ 75, The salary of Mr. P. Leahy, Civil Engineer, was raised from £ 200 a- year to £ 300, the maximum allowed by law. When the presentment for theGlanmireDispe'nsary was brought under consideration. Mr. J. M'DoNNELLSaid, that tho' he opposed the grant on a former occasion, inquiry into the efficiency of the establishment led him strenuously to support it now. A short time sinco there was a very fearful outbreak of cholera in that district, 011 the old Youghal road, and nothing could exceed the exertions of the physician. who was at nil hours attending on the sick and dying. Mr. DALY thought it looked something like a job. Mr. F. SPEARING, as one of the officers of health in that neighbourhood, could state that the physician had within the last month to attend on 57 patients in cholera. There were a tpresent in their own houses, under treatment by the physician of the Glanmire Dispensary, 23, all recovering ; and 12 were taken into hospital, 6 of whom died. After some further observations the presentment was passed unanimously, and the Court adjourned. WEDNESDAY— THIRD DAY, Shoitly after 12 a'eloek the Justices and Ratepayers re- assembled, the MAYOR in the Chair. Mr. HARTNETT, Solicitor, applied to get a presentment for £ 400, as compensation for the injury sustained by Mr. Walsh, by the falling of a house next his premises in tho South Main- street. After some discussion, in the course of which Sheriff SADLEIR stated that the precept to take down tiie house had not been put into his hands until an hour and a half after the house had fallen, the application was withdrawn, the Sessions having no power to pass such a presentment. On the application for a sum o f £ 7 0 , half a year's salary for the Inspectors of Weights and Measures, Messrs. Wherland and Rogers, a long discussion followed as to the manner in which these officers had discharged their duties, Mr. Daly imputing to Mr. Wherland want of judgment, precipitancy, and want of temper in seizing beams and weights belonging to the St. George Steam Company, to Messrs Wise and to himself, parties who had no object in committing frauds, being buyers not sellers of coals. Mr. WHEKLAND said that he had seized a beam from Mr. Daly which was illegal , he had discharged his duty without respect to persons, and had seized sixty- seven beams from the Corporation. His salary was 35/. for the half year, out of > hich he had to provide an office, porter, and also to hire Garts when lie went on duty. The presentment was then passed. The next application was for £ 2 4 for a malicious injury done to the Rev. Rowland Gray, of Sunday's- well, by burning a rick of hay, fei£ 4> roperty, shortly'after the election, " at which it did not appear that the Rev. Gentleman had voted,... the presentment was passed. A proposal was next, putin for a sum of £ 4 1 2 to Messrs. G. R. Paine and Denham Franklin, to make alterations in the Court House. After some discussion the question was put on this application, and negatived by a majority of two. Mr. FRANKLIN said that on the first day of the session, a notice was handed him of the intention of Mr. Deeble to apply to the next grand Jury for a large sum of money, for poundage as arrears of poor and waste claimed by him. Mr. A. R. MARTIN said that thare was a sum for poundage due to Mr. Deeble, which, if it had been before the last Grand Jury, would have been allowed. Mr. Deeble had been a collector in the Liberties for thirty- five assizes, during whieh time he had paid into the Treasurer £ 110,000, out of whieh he was not allowed u shilling deduction for uncollectable, excepting £ 346. One item claimed was for poundage £ 187, and another for waste and untenanted houses,£ 312 6s. 6d., which was certified by the Church Wardens, Mr. Deeble then made a proposition to save litigation, that the execution in the hands of the Sheriffs should be staid against him until his credits were allowed, and prevent the necessity of his commencing proceedings in the Court of Chancery. Mr. Deeble was allowed at the last Assizes 1500/. for ground charged to him more than the liberties contained, 400 acres in the north, and 500 acreB in the south, as proved by the treasurer, which amounted from Assizes to Assizes, for 35 Assizes, to 2000Z., but whieh was compromised for 1 5 0 0 / . Since his appointment he only got one sum for uncollectable rates, amounting to 346/. ; while in 1820 Mr. Ilobbs got out of the North Liberties one Assizes 53/. 6s 3d, and in 1823, 108i 5s. In 1823 Mr. Baiiy got one Assises out of the North Liberties 182/. 1 Is Id ; Mr. Williams in 182^. 155/. 12s 8d ; and Mr. Fitzsimoas in six Assizes, 900/. Mr. FNCEBLE said that he had refused the collection several times, until the Grand Jury sent for him, and said they would be in an awkward predicament if the South Liberties were left uncollected and promised to raise the poundage, and get an alteration in the Act of Parliament, neither of which were ever performed whilo he held the office. Mr. HAYES had heard Mr. Sam. Lane say . that the 1509A was a compromise for the entire. M. CONNELL was on the Grand Jury, and thought the 15001, was a compromise for the entire. Mr DEEBLE said that a committee was appointed to investigate his claim, but without having any evidence, at the suggestion of Mr. Confiell, as he was told, they made an order on the Grand Jury, disallowing his claim, without ever consulting the Jury or some members ofthe committee. C" Not my suggestion" from Mr Connell) He went on the following morning to the Grand Jury, a great number of whom were surprised that such a thing should have been done. He then told the Grand Jury, that whether they intended investigating his claim or not, he was determined to seek for his right. The Jury then considered the matter and gave him 1,5001 for the deficiency of 2,60Jl.. whieh he had in the'l'rcasurer's hand- writing. Mr. DALY wanted to know whether the matter was legally before them ? Mr. FRANKLIN conceived not, as the notice was not given ten days before the sessions. Mr DEEBLE did not care whether it was before them or not, but merely that they should not say he went . to work behind their backs. After a great deal of discussion the matter was postponed until the adjourned sessions. The Bench then adjourned to the 27th inst. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK.

It is reported in the county of Nottingham, that the Duke of Norfolk is about to sell the splendid mansion in that county now occupied by the Earl of Surrey, called Worksop Manor- house, to Miss Angela Burdett Coutts. The mansion is one ofthe finest in the kingdom, and came into the family of the Dukes of Norfolk through the marriage of an ancestor with an heiress of an Earl of Shrewsbury.

Lincolnshire Chronicle. The more distant country markets have been generally dull and languid throughout the week, and the samples of Wheat continuing to come to hand much affected by the weather, has rendered millers extremely cautious purchasers, even at a reduction of Is. to 2s. per qr.; and at Liverpool the depreciation in new Iriiih qualities has been 3d to 4d. per 701bs. ; even at many places the finer Wheats have slightly paiticipated in the decline. But in the home counties, especially Essex, limited supplies, and a demand for shipment, partly to the West and North of England, and partly to Scotland, continues to keep the markets in an excited state, and a further enhancement of Is. to 2s. is noted the past week, the top range being actually, not relativelv, higher than in Mark Lane. We are induced, however, to believe that these temporary shipments are of selected parcels of quality and condition, in order to mix with the more inferior produce of these different parts of the kingdom, and though a momentary impetus is given to the prices, that on the general improvement in the condition of the new crops, supplies will becoming more readily forward, and the markets will again resurao their proportionate range with those of London. I11 Scotland the supplies have become rather more liberal, andWheat at Edinburgh, aud other leading markets is noted Is to 2s cheaper. Barley is also Is to Is 6d per qr cheaper ; but the finer qualities of Oats maintain their previous quotations, while the green and inferior are difficult of sale at depressed rates. Many of the shippers from fhe Northern ports are complaining of the prices, obtained in Mark Lane for their late shipments, and seem scrupulous in making farther consignments until some reaction is visible in the trade ; however, the principal cause of depreciation has arisen from the bad condition in which many of the cargoes have come lohand. It appears that disappointment still attends the thrashing out of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, on every variety of soil, and in almost every district of Scotland, and that on the retentive soils, and those under the highest cultivation, that the produce per acre has been the most unsatisfactory, and which is attributed to the rapidity of the vegetation which took place in the month of July, which caused an unusual lengih of straw, and the very heavy rains towards the end of that month, laid the crops so generally that at the period of harvest the greater part of those that were atone period promising were completely leveled, & a deficiency hasi in consequence ensued in both quantity and quality. In Ireland the weather, as well as throughout the United Kingdom, has been most favourable for the progress of field labour, and perhaps thegreatest breadth of land sown with Wheat that has ever been under its cultivation. The markets have sustained little alteration but the Oat trade seems firm, and a tendency rather to regain its late depression than submit to any further reduction. ° The supplies of Wheat, both coastways and hy land sample, to Mark Lane, have been less than anticipated, and being Christmas week, the market, as usual, has been very thinlv attended, and consequently little life or animation has pervaded the trade _ The mild weather and damp atmosphere continue materially'to ; affect the condition of the Grain, and great difficulty was expe. ! rienced, both Wednesday and Friday, to quit these cold rough samples, at a reduction of fully Is per qr. ; to force sales of the better qualities, a little less money must have been submitted to millers purchasing with caution even the selected parcels at about the rates of this day fortnight ; besides that, the town millers, continuing to receive much of their Wheat direct from the coun I try markets, is an additional cause of creating languor in tho : London trade, from the falling off in the customary dlmand Ihe accounts from the United States proving less encouraging to specu stors, the demand for bonded Wheat has relaxed tho" a few sales have been still effected at nearly former prices ; ' some , high mixed Wheat has been taken at 38s. and Stettin at 32s ; Lower Baltic red Wheats being held at 31s to 34s. The afcin ments during the last fortnight have been about 5 000 ors to Baltimore and New York. M i The Flour trade has ruled dull, and ship Flour has moved off slowly, at a reduction of Is per sack. on The supplies of Barley having been moderate, factors have sue- ! ceeded in realizing previous quotations for all fine, stout and sweet samples, but the light and stained sorts have continued to week° n and prices barely equal to those of the foregoing Malt remains nominally unaltered in price, but the sale slow Most of the expected large supply of Oats has arrived this week from Ireland, amounting to 48,553 qrs. besides 857 nrs from England, and 1,430 qr,. from Scotland .. making a totaUf 50,840 qrs. Dealers and consumers are still expecting additional arrivals and lower prices, and have therefore continued shy our chasers, though factors on Friday were willing to accent fid t* Is less money, yet little progress was made towards a ! ? o ' F a r e e 0 n b o a r d P ™ e s i n I r e , a n d r e m a i n at 9s to 9s fid and 9s 9d, and 10s demanded for fine Limericks, but the business transacting has been limited. uusiness Beans and Peas are rendered soft in condition by the weather and have been difficult of disposal.

' THE N E W LAW OF W I L L S . . . A S the new Act came into operation on tho 1st inst., it behoves every one to make himself acquainted with its principal provisions, especially with those which relate tn tbe execution and formalities of wills', and without tho due observance of which formalities no will made hereafter will be valid. From and after that day every will, whether of real or personal property, must be ill writing, and be signed by the testator, or by some person in his presence, and by his direction. The signature of the testator must be made, or at least acknowledged by him, in presence of two or more witnesses at the same time, who must subscribe their names as witnesses to the execution of the will in the presence of the testator and of each ather. As the Act does not require any particular form of attestation to be used, it seems that any words of sufficient import will answer the purpose. Iu case of any interlineation or alteration being made in the will'after execution, such alteration must be executed in all respects tho same as the will, by affixing the signature of the testator, and the subscription of the witness in the margin opposite to such alteration, or at the foot of some memorandum referring thereto. It may be further necessary to bear in mind tbat every will made in future will be revoked by the subsequent marriage of the party making it, without the birth of a child supervening. THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " D A R N L E Y , " " R I C H I - LIEU." & c... We have read ( says our contemporary the Atlas,) Mr. James's " Louis THE FOURTEENTH" with great interest The work is less a life of Louis than a view of his times, and less a view of the political than the social times of that Monarch. It partakes rather of the character of an agreeable and diversified narrative, thickly studded with personal anecdotes, than of a dry history of France in t he age when Richelieu ruled the destinies of that country, when De Retz, Mazarin and Turenne, de Maintenonand La Valliere divided the attention ofthe nation, and when the glory of great deeds was bathed in such hues of voluptnousness and licentiousness, that the stern reality took the tone of romance. Mr. James gives us only outlines of the wars ; but then he gives us bountiful accounts of the Generals ; the events are despatched with brevity, the personnel is given at full length. Such is the general character of this entertaining work. THE ELOPEMENT.— The subject of the new novel under this title embraces the career of a young couple who had in early life made a runaway match, the husband being a Cambridge student, and the wife a young lady scarcely out of her sixteenth year. The time of the story is in tbe reign of of George the Second ; and the adventures that befel the fugitives in London and Paris ( t o which latter place they had flown for safety from the machinations of their/ WeuefeJarebeyond everything strikingand romantic. The profligate monarch Louis XV is brought on the scene with singular effect, and the incidents are of the most curious and unprecedented character. THE HON. KEPPEL CRAVEN'S " EXCURSIONS IN THE A B R U Z I I ." ... The parts of Italy lying adjacent to Naples embrace perhaps the most interesting and least explored region o( the whole country. " It is precisely on this account," remarks the Naval and Military Gazette, that the curiosity of English readers is more excited to learn something of the route happily selected by Mr. Keppcl Craven than of any part of Italy. We follow him from place to place in his mountain excursions with unabated earnestness, and are every where delighted with his picturesque descriptions of landscape, his graphic sketches of primitive manners, his poetical and antiquation details, and the wild and legendary stories gathered on the road, as the traditions of a people far removed from intercourse with the busy world. No writer of fiction ever imagined such grand and unbroken solitudes as are presented to the eyo of the traveller in this part of the kingdom of Naples. The honourable author has proved himself to be worthy of the task of familiarising his countrymen with its charms. The work altogether is one ofthe most original and striking of modern books of travel."

JOHN ASHLIN and SONS, Corn Factors, MARK LANE, MONDAY, JAN. 1. We had a short supply of wheat this morning, which was all cleared oil at last week's prices, dry parcels being in request and the damp sorts dull sale. The weather is uncommonly mild for the season, and the condition of the wheats in general is much affected thereby. Beans and Peas are plentiful at market; Beans, new and old. Is to 2s. per qr. cheaper than last week. In Peas we note no alteration. Fine Fresh malting Barley scarce, and in request, at full as good prices. Stale sorts rather dull sale. We have had a very large arrival of Oats, mostly from Ireland, and principally from the Shannon. Fine heavy qualities maintained the rates of the previous week, but the secondary qualities met a very dull limited sale, though offered 6d to 1 s per qr. lower. — Giles Son Sf Co.

The arrivals of wheat during the past week to this day's market have been moderate, and although the trade has not been very active, good samples have realized last week's currency ; inforior descriptions also maintain their price. Flour moves off slowly, at late rates. Barley is taken off slowly ; but prices are nearly supported. In Beans and Peas we have no alteration. Our supply of Oats, as will be seen at foot, is very large, and as more ships are at hand, our dealers refrain from purchasing. Factors submitted to a decline of Is. per qr., but at this reduction there has not been much bussiness done Hunter and Coventry. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE- DEC 29. MONDAY, JAN. l,... We hsve had tolerably good supplies of Irish Flour and Oatmeal since this se'nnight, but moderate of all Grain, and Wheat having at the same time met a better demand, generally rather better prices have been obtained for it • the best Irish red has commanded 7s. lod., and good fair runs' have brought 7s. 4d. to 7?. 6d. per 70lbs. Flour has sold at previous rates, and the stocks have latterlv been going down. In Oats there has been little bussftiess done ; on Friday a parcel of Newry brought 2s. 9J., but fair runs were offering at 2s. 7d to 2s, 8il. per 45 lbs. Oatmeal, too. has met only a limited demand, 23s. to 24s. per .240 lbs. the quotations for Irish manufacture. There has been little Barley on the market : a few small lots of Irish and Scotch have beeu sold at 4s to 4s. 4d. per 60 lbs. Beans and Peas as last noted. Three or four parcels of bonded Wheat have been taken for exportation at 4s 8d to 5s per 70lbs ; the latter price obtained for a little tine Danzig, and 4s 8d to 4s IOd for Lower Baltic red, Several lots of Hour under lock have also been sold, Baltic sweet at 25s to 26s, and United States sour at 21s to 25s per brl. TUESDAY, Two O'CLOCK.— The show of samples of Wheat at this morning's market was very limited ; neither was there a really choice lot of Oats offering ; the middling qualities of both articles met a pretty good sale, the former at an improvement of about 2d per 701 bs on the quotations of last Tuesday. Oats were also the turn better. No change In the value of Flour, but Oatmeal, in some instances, brought anadvance of 3d to 6d per load. P R O V I S I O N M A R K E T S.

( T o be continued only three posts.) LONDON MONDAY, JAN. 1. The arrivals last week from Ireland were 6,06i; firkins Butter, and 2,507 bales Bacon; and from Foreign Ports 4,712 casks butter. The transactions in Butter during last week, were to a very limited extent, but notwithstanding the dullness which exists, holders do not appear anxious to force sales, fully anticipating an improvement in demand and price ere long, particularly if we have any thing like seasonable weather. The following are about our present quotations. Cailows 90s to 95s. landed. Corks, ... 90s to 91s. do. Waterfords 86s to 91s, do. Limericks, 82s to 84s, do. Sligos, & c 80s, do. In free on board sales scarlely anything doing, the merchants in Ireland feeling confident the stock on hands is below an average one, and hold hack from offering at pricees in proportion with our present rates. In the Bacon market we have nothing new to notice, it remains very quiet, but little offering free on board, and prices landed keep steady at 45s to 47s. Lard meets a dull sale at 65s to 67s tor prime bladdered. Bale and Tierce middles, from 44s to 48s per cwt., according to quality, & c. STOCK BUTTER BACON Stock Delivered Stock. Delivered 1836 22000 ... 3200 I 1300 ... 800 1837 34000 ... 3500 | 7000 ... 1500 SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 1. Owing to the supply of Beasts in our market to- day, being much larger than was anticipated, and by far the largest portion of it of middling and inferior quality, the sale, even for the few prime Beasts which were offering, was exceedingly dull, but we can quote no variation in the prices noted on last market day. The supply of Sheep was tolerably good, both as to numbers and quality, whfct the trade was very heavy, at barely, but at nothing quotable, beneath Friday's currencies. With Calves we were very shortly supplied, but no improvement took place in the demand for them, and we can notice no alteration in the prices. A large number of Pigs, 200 of which arrived by steam packets from Dublin and Cork, was offering, on account of which tbe sale for them was heavy, at last week's quotations. The arrivals of both Sheep and Beasts by sea from Scotland, have been again very moderate. In the Matter of John William Anderson, a Bankrupt. | r jp H E Commissioners of LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, JAN. 1— We continue to experience a good demand for Butter, and the market is firm at our quotations.

Sir Andrew Agnew, oh ! thou scourge of sinnen ! Thou legislator against vice And nice Hot Sunday dinners ! What shall we do Now thou art cone— thou and Sir Oswald* too— To make men fast and pray Each seventh day ? What now shall save us from sin's burning embers Now that we've lost our two old marrowbone members ? But seriously, Sir Andrew, do you think There's so much harm in meat and drink That a hot steak, Ate once a week, Shows a depraved state of society ? That frizzled bacon Argues a soul mistaken !

But ifyou will work out your bill, Believe me you must take a wider kitchen range Then sir, you think it wrong In bus or cab to ride along The streets, Intent on rural treats At Hampstead, Islington, or Turnham- green ; But have you never seen The crowd Of knights and dames, on palfrv's fierce and proud, That fill Hydetpark o' Sundays ? I don't wish to teaze, But, sir, for riders such as these. There ought, I think, to be a rider to your bill. No doub tit's very wrong, and shows but little nous.

LITERATURE. TIMES OF GEORGE THE FOURTH. Diary Illustrative of the Times of George the Fourth, interspersed with Original Letters from the Late Queen Caroline, and from Various other Distinguished Persons. Ia 2 vols. [ Henry Colburn. These are two very curious and highly interesting volumes if We shall be much surprised if they do not produce what is called a sensation in the upper circles of society. The genuineness of the letters, documents, and details, is placed bey ond all doubrby the intrinsic evidence afforded by the work itself. The first volume is the most interesting. It commen, ces with the events in Queen Caroline's life which occurred in 1810, and brings them down till the time of her leaving tin country in 1814. The diary and letters contain many extraordinary statements aud remarks respecting certain families of rank and distinguished individuals ot that eventful period. Ini tials, it is true, are in most cases only given ; but all who are conversant with the members of the aristocracy will at once perceive the allusions. The work not only adds much to our knowledge ofthe character and conduct of Queen Caroline, but it affords us an insight into many things relative to George the Fourth and the Liverpool Administration, with which the pub lie were previously unacquainted. The second volume relates for the most part, to the Continent. The additional informa tion given about the death of George the Fourth, and the sup plementary letters, are highly interesting. The book contains a great deal of gross and scandalous remark, which, however, will only, we suppose, add to the eagerness with which it will be perused. The following are Extracts :— ' This day, dined at Kensington en petit comite ; no servants, but dumb waiters The Princess gave long detailed account of her marriage, and the circnmstances which brought it about. ' I, you know, was the victim of Mammon— the Prince of Wales' debts must be paid, and poor lit le I's person was the pretence. Parliament would vote supplies for the heir- apparent's marriage. The King would help his title help. A Protestant Princess must be found— they fixed up on the Prince's cousin. To tell you God's truth ( a favourite expression) I always hated it — but to oblige my father, any thing. But the first moment I saw my futur and Lady Jane J together, 1 knew how it was, and I said to myself, ' Oh very well 1' I took my parlie— and so it would have been — but, oh, mine God /' she added, throwing up her head * I could be the slave of a man I love.. but to one whom I loved not, and who did not love me— impossible— e'est autre chose.' One of the civil things his Royal Higness did just at first was to find fault with my shoes— and as I was very young and lively in those days, I told him to make me a better pair, and bring them tome. I brought letters from the princes and the princesses to him from all the petty courts, and I tossed them to him and said, ' There— that's to prove I'm no impostor.' Lady Oxford observed, ' Well, madam, it is the most surprising thing in the world that the Prince was not desperately in love with your Royal Highness.' ' Not at all,' she replied—' in the first place, very few husbands love their wives— and I confess, the moment one is obliged to marry any person, it is quite enough lo render them hateful. Had I come over here as a princess with my father on a visit, as Mr. Pitt once wanted my father to have done, things might have been very different j but what is done cannot be undone." . . . I asked her if she had left Brunswick with regret. " Not at all ; I was sick, tired of it ; but I was sorry to leave my father. I loved my fa'ther dearly, better nor any oder person ;" and the tears poured over her face. " 1 will tell you," she went on to say, and she mastered her emotion, " 1 will tell you, there is none affliction more powerful than dat for a good fader ; but dere were some unlucky tings in our Court, which made my position difficult. My fader was most entirely attached to a lady for thirty years, who, in fact, was his mistress ; she was the beautifullest creature, and the cleverest ; but though my fader continued to pay my moder all possible respect, my poor moder suffer this attachment, and de consequence was, I did not know what to do between them ; when I was civil to one, I was scolded by the other, and was very tired of being shuttlecock between them." ' Princess Charlotte came pretty frequently to K— n at this epoch. Lady De Clifford was then her Governess— that is to say, so named, for the Princess is her own Governess. . . . ' The Princess of Wales speeks highly of Mrs. Fitzherbert ; she always says, •' that is the Prince's true wife : she is an excellent woman ; it is a great pity for her he ever broke vid her. Do you know I know deman who was present at his marriage, the late Lord B— d. He declared to a friend of mine, that when he went to inform Mrs. Fitzherbert that the Prince had married me she would not believe it, for she knew she was herself married to him." . . . . ' The Princess, in one of her confidential humours, declared she believed that " Lady H— d was a woman of intact virtue— it i » only a liaison of her vanity on her part with my better half, but it will not last long, she is too formal for him." These words were quickly verified in another attachment to a younger and more beautiful woman, but one not calculated to be so judicious or a true friend. . . . . . ' One day the Princess set out to walk, accompanied by myself and one of her ladies, round Kensington Gardens. At last, being wearied, her Royal Highness sat down on a bench occupied by two old persons, and she conversed with them to my infinite amusement, they being perfectly ignorant who she was... She asked them all manner of questions about herself, to which they replied favourably ; but her lady, I observed, was considerably alarmed, and was obliged to draw her veil over her face, to prevent betraying herself, and every moment I was myself afraid that something not so favourable might be expressed by these good people ; fortunately, this was not the case, and her Royal Highness walked away undiscovered, having informed them that if they would be at such a door at such an hour, at the palace, on any day, they would meet with the Princess of Wales, to see whom they manifested so strong a desire. . . . ' I accompanied her Royal Highness, together with Mr. Craven, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Gell, and the Princess's ladies, to the British Museum. " Now," said the Princess, " toss up a guinea to know who shall be the happy two who are to come with me,' but we had not a guinea amongst us, and we resigned tlie honour to Mr. Mercer and Mr. Craven. ' FEF. 10,1811.. The Princess is always busying herself with the multiplication table.. that is, putting two and two together. She asked me if I thought Lady C— C— would marry Mr. Arbuthnot. I burst out laughing, and replied, ' First of all, is he so inclined ? I believe not. And secondly, I know Lady is not inclined either for lovers or matrimony at present.' . . ' The Princess then held Lady C— C— very cheap, and returned to the old story. It is difficult to say to any person that one thinks their principles libertine, or rather that they have no principles at all ; but I told her Royal Highness that 1 knew Lady - wouldnever be made happy by any illicit attachment, and that the sting of what she conceived guilt, and the anxiety of concealment, would always make her wretched. To this the Princess replied—" Maricd love never lasts , dat is not in de nature.' I confessed that I had seldom or ever known it to do so ; but that even were it the ease, and that a married woman found herself obliged to resign the sweet illusions of passions, she had yet the sober consolations of esteem from others — of the applause and consideration of tlie world— above all. the inward peace of self- satisfaction j whereas, a woman who was a mistress, was always in danger of losing her lover, and with him she lost every thing besides. To this her Royal Highness had nothing to reply " The Princess went to the play, a resource she always reserves to herself, to escape from a dull dinner. She was accompanied by Lord Fitz— d, her Lady in Waiting, and myself. After the play, I was invited to sup with her Royal Highness ; as usual, she talked of her own situation, and her previous life, Judge," said she, " what it was to have a drunken husband on one's wedding day, and one whe passed the greatest part of his bridal night under the grate, where he fell, and where I left him. If any body say to me at dis moment will you pass your life over again, or be killed, I would choose death— for you know, a little sooner or later, we must all die ; but to live life of wretchedness twice over.. oh 1 mine God, no I Well after I layin. , je vous jure, ' tis true.. upon my honour, upon my soul, ' tis true.. 1 received a message, through Cholmondeley, to tell me I never was to have de great honour ofinhabiting de same room wid my husband again. I said very well' but as my memory was short, I begged to have dis polite message in writing from him. I had it, and was free; I left Carlton- house, and went to Charlton. Oh, how happy I was I.. everybody blamed me ; but I never repented me of dis step. Oh. mine God, what I have suffered 1 Luckily, I had a spirit, or I never should have have outlived it."' When George the Fourth was on his death- bed, he commanded Sir W. K. to do his bidding, which was as follows : to ask Lady to give any information she could as to his Majesty's late wife^ Queen Caroline, and that if she would make known what she knew to her disadvantage, Lady was given to understand that she might " ask anything of the dying Monarch, and he would give it her." Lady was not like the maiden who demanded the head of a fellow- creature, and she scorned to receive the price of blood, which any reward she might have accepted for information against the deceased Princess of Wales would, in a moral point of view, have been. The King and the servant who did his bidding were alike treated as they merited to be. . , . , ' AUG. 25, 1813.— It was almost dark when the Princess returned home in the evening. She amused us very much by telling us the history of her sister, Princess Caroline. I asked her if it was true that the Duke of Wirtemberg had poisoned Princess C. She said she did not believe it, and had even reasons for supposing she was still alive. Princess C . married at 13 orl4years of age, and, like all princesses, and most other women, she did so in orderto have an establishment, and be her own mistress. For some time she behaved well, though her sister said her husband was veryjealous of her from the beginning, and beat her cruelly. At length they went to Russia, and there she became enamoured of a man who was supposed to have been the Empress's lover, a circumstance which rendered the offence heinous, even though he was a cast- off lover. But it seems ladies snarl over a bone they have kicked just like any cross dog. The Princess Caroline was secretly delivered of a child in pro cess of time, in one of the Empress' chateaux. Her husband not having lived with her for a year or two, the deed was known not to be his, and for once the right father was actually named. As soon as sue recovered from this little accident, the Empress informed her it was no longer possible for her to allow her to live under her roof, but that she might go to the Chateau de Revelt, on the Baltic— that is to say she must go ; whither accordingly she was sent. The curious part of this story is, that Miss Saunders, the Princess of Wales'sMaid, at this timeliving with her, had a sister, which sister lives as maid with Princess Caroline, and she, after a time, returned from the Chateau de Revelt, back to Brunswick, saying her mistress was in perfect health, but had dismissed her from her service, as she no longer required her attendance. She gave her money and jewels, and after vain entreaties to be allowed to remain with her royal mistress, to whom she was much attached, Miss Saunders' sister left the Princess Caroline. Not long after this, word was brought to the Duke of Brunswick that she died suddenly of some putrid disorder, which made it necessary to bury the body immediately, without waiting for any ceremonies due to the rank of the deceased. All further inquiries that were made ended in this account, and no light was thrown upon this business. Some years subsequently to this, a travelling Jew arrived at Brunswick, who swore that he saw the Princess Caroline at the opera at Leghorn. He was questioned, and declared that he could not be mistaken in her " ' I own, ( said the Princess of Wales,) that from her sending away the person who so much attached to her, and the only servant she had whom she ever loved and reliedon, that I always hoped she contrived to elope with lier lover, and may still be alive." This story is curious, if it be true, but her Royal Highness loves to tell romantic histories, so that one cannot believe implicitly what she narrates ' Lady ' s love of gain is said to have been insatiable, and it was reported that whenever the King gave her jewels, her reply was—" Sire, I cannot wear them unless your Majesty gives my daughter the same to silence scandal." Thus did she obtain a double quantity of valuable gifts. She was, on the death of the King, to relinquish many Crown jewels which were known to be in her possession ; but William the Fourth, in consideration of the honesty with which the lady returned the gems, begged her to keep an amethyst of immense value, which had been found in Charles the First's tomb when it was opened, and whieh, when Princess Charlotte died ( it having been given her Royal Highness by the Regent, her father) Prince Leopold returned to George the Fourth. Thus to the last Lady was dealtli kindly with.' GLEANINGS. SELECTIONS. There are few men who are not ambitious of distinguishing themselves in the nation or country where they live, and of growing considerable with those with whom they converse.— There is a kind of grandeur and respect which the meanest and most insignificant part of mankind endeavour to procure in the little circle of their friends and acquaintance. The poorest mechanic, nay, the man who lives upon common alms, gets him his set of admirers, and delights in that superiority which he enjoys over those who are in some respects beneath him. This ambition, which is natural to the soul of man, might, methinks," receive a happy turn, and, if it were rightly directed, contribute as much to a person's advantage as it generally does to his uneasiness and disquiet.— Addison. Dr. Thompson, in his history of geology observes:—" It has been affirmed by some wrong- headed or fanatical individuals, that the facts disclosed by geology are inconsistent with the Mosaic account of the creation ; and on that account, attempts have been made to discourage the cultivation of geology. Now, nothing can be worse judged than such an attempt; it is a kind of acknowledgment, that improvement in science is inconsistent with the prosperity of the Christian religion, and that ignorance is the mother of devotion.— The object of revelation was obviously to teach mankind their duties to their GOD, their neighbours, and themselves. Had it displayed more science than existed at the time when it was given, it would not only have defeated the very object in view, but it would have been unintelligible to those for whom it was intended. The cosmogony of Moses is nothing more than this —' In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.' — a proposition which no man of science can refuse to admit, and with which all true geological knowledge is perfectly compatible.'— Thomson's British Annual for 1838. Animal matter, although the most complicated of all natural substances, returns to its elementary state by one spontaneous process, the putrefactive fermentation. By this, the substances foi ming its different parts are slowly reduced to the state of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon ; and thus the circle of changes through which these principles have passed is finally completed. Quitting their elementary forms, they enter the vegetable system ; thence pass to the animal kingdom ; and from that they return again to their original simplicity, soon to re- enter the sphere of organized existence.— Mrs. Marcet. Every one would pursue his own interest, if he knew what it was ; and, in fact, every one does pursue i t ; but the generality totally mistake it. No man would choose riches before happiness, power before quiet, or fame before safety, if he knew the true value of each ; no man would prefer the transitory and worthless enjoyment of this world, to the permanent and sublime felicity of a better, if he had a clear prospect of them both; but we see the former through a mist, which always magnifies, and the latter appears at so great a distance, that we scarce see it at all ; and therefore it makes little impression upon our senses, and has as little influence on our conduct.— Jenyns. If I am asked who is the greatest man ? I answer the best ; and if 1 am required to say who is the best ? I reply he that has deserved most of his fellow- creatures. Whether we deserve better of mankind by the cultivation of letters, by obscure and inglorious attainments, by intellectual pursuits calculated rather to amuse than inform, than by strenuous exertions in speaking and acting, let those consider who bury themselves in studies unproductive of any benefit to their country or fellowcitizens. I think not.. Sir William Jones. Where education has been entirely neglected, or improperly managed, we see the worst passions ruling with uncontrolled and incessant sway. Good sense degenerates into craft, and anger rankles into malignity. Restraint, which is thought most salutary, comes too late, and the most judicious admonitions are urged in vain.— Parr. VARIETIES. NOVEL SPECIES or INTIMIDATION. . A clergyman who happened to be a passenger in one of our mails, recorded the other day the following anecdots : A person residing in the parish of having fallen under the ban of the Kirk- Session, was duly cited before the proper tribunal, and, after admission or proof, sentenced to stand a public rebuke. The offender was a soldier, and often as he had done parade duty in a different arena, the idea of exhibiting himself before the assembled congregation was so appalling that he secretly determined to get out ofthe scrape with the best, grace possible. With this view he went early to church, dressed in regimentals, and carried his gun along with him, which, from the bye- paths he took and the hour of the morning, he managed to secret without observation. In due time the worshippers assembled, and after the services of the day had been ended, the soldier was called on to stand up. This summons he instantly obeyed, and by way of suiting the action to the word, presented his musket at the head of the clergyman. Ail exhibition so novel and unexpected astonished and petrified every spectator ; the minister himself looked unutterable things, and after pausing and changing colourhe timidly inquired—" What, sir, do you mean by that ?' " Only," said the other, coolly, " to show you I'm a disciplinarian as well as yourself." This was too much; most people thought the man mad, and as there is no saying what a madman will do, 110 one seemed willing to incur the responsibility of securing and disarming so desperate a character. In this feeling the minister sympathised; after a little time he cowered down in the pulpit, so as t. o be out of the reach of avveapon, which, for aught he knew,' might be charged with ball or deadly slug. The belligerent doggedly maintained his ground, and, without relaxing a muscle, kept pointing at the pulpit as unerringly as the needle points to the pole. For the space of ten minutes or so the congregation was paralysed ; after which the Clergyman called out from the place where he had ensconced himself, " Is the fellow away yet ?"— " No 1" said the Precentor, " he's stiil standing in the same bit, with the gun in his hand, ready to fire." " Then tell him from me to take himself off, and I'll forgive him this time"— au announcement which elicited a general titter, during which the I recusant retired as proud, as he said himself, as " his ain cousin was when he captured the standard at Waterloo."— Dumfries Courier. A shopkeeper in New York, the other day, stuck upon his doo the following laeonie advertisement...-' A boy wanted." On going to his shop the next morning, he beheld a smiling little r - chin in a basket, with the following pithy label" here he is 1" SYMPTOMS NOT TO BE MISTAKEN— Symptom 1. When you meet a friend about five o'clock near his own house, and he stands gossipping with you at the street door without knocking, take itas a symptom that you are not wanted to dinner. Symptom 2. AVhen yon drop in for an hour's chat at a friend's house in the evening, and your friend looks at his watch after you have been there about two hours, while his wife packs up her needle work with a yawn, observing," Well, I think it is time to give over for to night," itis an infallible symptom that yoti are a bore, and that the sooner you export yourself the better. Symptom 3. If at any evening party you are selected to make one at a rubber at whist, it is a symptom there are younger persons in the room who. ii the ladies cannot spare as well as yourself... Symptom 4. If you are travelling outside a stage, and when you stop for dinner the porter brings a ladder for you to descend, consider his civility a decided symptom [ whatever you may think of yourself] that he thinks you a gentleman who has arrived at a time of life not favourable to agility. Symptom 5 When a Jew boy importunely offers to sell you a pair of spectacles as a bargain, you may conclude it is a symptom there is something in your appearance which denotes the father of a family, in spite of whatever the ta ilor may have done to dress you like your youngest son. Sympton6. If you meet a gentleman and a lady, the gentleman looking vacantly serious, as if thinking of nothing— the lady placidly careless, as if perfectly satisfied— depend upon it these are symptoms of their beinj man" and wife, and that the husband has consented to walk, tlio' he would rather leave it alone, while the wife is pleased to find he is as attentive as ever. But when you meet a lady and gentleman in earnest discourse, the gentleman talking much, the lady listening with downcast eyes, it is the symptom of an affair in progress which will probably end in going to church. IMPORTANT PHYSIOLOGICAL ' D I S C O V E R Y . — S o m e correspondence lately took place, and excited the public attention in the daily press, npon the supposed cruelty of certain experiments made by Dr. Marshall Hall upon a turtle, which turtle had its head, previously cut off. We should, perhaps, startle some of our readers were we to tell them, that, by touching a decapitated body at patticular points, most of the ordinary signs of life, such as motion, recoiling, Ac. can be produced ; yet that there is no more sensibility in the trunk than there is in the convulsed body of a guillotined criminal, or in a headless eel, flayed, as it is erroneously called, alive. It is well known that a domestic cock, skilfully decapitated, can be made afterwards to walk a certain distance ; a male cricket has been seen to exhibit the same phenomenon ; and a large fly will take to its wings under- similar circumstances. A common frog has been seen to make attempts, after decapitation, to remove an instrument by which it was irritated ; and another animal employed its feet in removing a source of irritation from the face, caused by plucking a hair of the whisker, or by dropping acid on the nose. Now, the point was to distinguish these curious and interesting phenomena from sensation and volition ; and the fact of accomplishing this distinction is among the very latest additions to science, and is of most extended importance to anatomy, to physiology, and to the treat- - ment of diseases. It was only in late years that the distinction between the nerves of sensation, and those of volition was established, with a superadded set, by Sir Charles Bell. Anatomists were aware of the distinction ill the spinal cord, of the medullary, or fibrous, and the gray, or cineritious portions; Drs. Gall and Spurzheim had even supposed the one to be generated by the other, a fact which, although not accordant with what has been shown by more recent researches, does not, we may observe, at all militate against the divisional functions of the cerebrum ; but still, the real seat of sensation and volition had not been determined, one party supposing it to reside in the medulla oblongata ; the other in the cerebellum. This indecision regarding the seat of sensation was entirely owing to the phenomena produced after decapitation, or the removal of the cerebrum and cerebellum, and which have since been designated as excito- motory, being confounded with such as are the result of sensation. Tlie knowledge of this latter system enables us at once to refer to the seat of sensation and volition to the brain, and to seek, in other structures, for the explanation of movements and actions which have hitherto only puzzled the experimental physiologist. The result of researches, made now some time back, had distinctly shown that the spinal cord, quite independently of the brain, possesses a property in virtue of which it is able so to transmit impressions made on the skin, so as to excite definite muscular contractions ; and Magendie, Le Gallois, Desmoulins, and others had connected this with sensation. Mr. Mayo, in 1823, had made a step to separate this from a phenomenon of sensation and volition, by characterizing it as an influence propagated from the sentient nerves of a part of their corresponding nerves of motion, through the intervention of that part alone of the nervous centre to which they are attached. This is what has since been denominated the reflex action, and it remained for Dr. Marshall Hall and Professor Midler to be the first clearly to announce that what have been designated the excito- motory phenomena are totally independent of sensation and volition ; and which distinction was accomplished by a profound spirit of physiology, unaided by the scalpel. It is gratifying, then, to find that a person so well adapted for- carrying on the investi, gation with success as Mr. Grainger should have taken up the subject, and, as a result, have produced the little volume before us, which contains the description of an hitherto unobserved set of nervous fibres, which part from the anterior roots of the cerebral and volition fibres, and which he calls spinal, or reflex ; and another one from the posterior or sensiferous roots, and which are also spinal or iucident fibres. Both sets dip into the gray motter of the cord, which hence becomes the true spinal cord. The influence which • his discovery of an excito- motery system, independent of sensation, and of the structure with which it is connected, will be of the first importance to many branches of knowledge. It doubtful if it will not lead to the conclusion that, in many of the lower animals, such as do not possess a rudimentary cerebrunt orcerrebullum, the motions and vital acts are not, plants, mere physical instincts, unaccompanied by sensation or • volition. The established identity of the gangliated thread of the articulata with the spinal cord of vertebral animals realises Sir Charles Bell's idea of a series ot nerves subordinate to sensation and volition, and opens a new and a wide field of inquiry. To physiology the pregnant facts are also of the greatest interest, and promise much in bringing that science to depend on, at least, a few more definite and general laws— and, in the treatment of disease, it is obvious that they stand prominent among all that has been done for many y ears.— Literary Gazette. THE RICH AND POOR. . The child of the rich man sleeps in the silken cradle.. his little cries are hushed by the nurse, whose only duty is, to watch the progress of that tiny frame. The least illness, and the physician bestows on the infant heir the knowledge of a life— for every single patient benefits by all his predecessors. The child becomes a boy— Eton or Westminster, Oxford or Cambridge, have garnered for his sake the wisdom of centuries— he is launched into public life, and there are friends and connexions on either hands, as stepping- stones in his way. He arrives at old age; the armchair is ready, and the old port has been long in the cellars of his country- house, to share its strength with its master. He dies : his very coffin is comfortable ; the very vault of his ancestors is sheltered ; a funeral sermon is preached in his honour; and escutcheon and marble tablet do their best to preserve his memory. Take the reverse of the picture. The infancy of the poor child is one of cries, too often of blows ; natural affection has given way before the iron pressure of want. The old proverb, that " When Poverty comes in at the door. Love flies out at the window," is true, in a far more general sense than the one in which it is generally applied. They have the floor for a bed; the scant and mouldering remnant of food for dinner ; the cold hearth where the wind blows in the snow; these physical sufferings re- act on the moral world; they deaden and embitter the sweetest of our feelings. The parent half loves, half loathes, the child that takes the bread from his own mouth ; and the child looks on that as tyranny, which is only misery. It learns to fear, before it learns to love. Suppose such a childhood past; it has escaped disease ; no chance chill lias distorted the youthful limbs ; they have, at least, health to begin life. The poor man has nothing more than his strength. God's best gifts lie dormant within him : the chancel are, that he cannot read even the Holy Page, that, a least, holds out the hope of a less miserable world. Hehas not that mental cultivation which alone teaches us what are our resources, and how to husband or to exert thein. He knows only how to labour, and that- not in the most serviceable manner to himself. He does not, even when he can, which is rareenough, lay by for the future, because he has never been accustomed to reflect. Life has for him no future. Perhaps he takes to drinking ; and it is easy, with half a dozen different kinds of French wines on the table.. the claret purple beside the golden sherry.. to say a thousand true and excellent things on the crime of excess. If the gentleman refrains, it is from a moral restraint tbe poor man has never been taught to exercise ; and what does the poor man drink to avoid ?.. cold, hunger, perhaps bodily pain—- always bodily weariness. Old age comes on, feeble, and often premature; when his place of refuge is a straw pallet, where, if his family keep him, it it an act of Roman virtue, the very devotion of duty and affection ; for even the old man's morsel must be taken from their own.. But, the workhouse is the ordinary resting- place before the grave ; and there, human selfishness takes its most revolting aspect; there, life has not left one illusion, one affectionall is harsh, cold, revolting, and unnatural. The difference that began in the cradle continues to the tomb. The bare coffin— a few boards, hastily nailed together— is flung into the earth ; the service is hurried over, the ground trodden down : and, the next day, the children are playing upon the new grave, whose tenant is already forgotten. So much for the equality of human existence.— Miss London's new Novel of Ethel Churchill. P E R I L S OF P R E A C H I N G A C E N T U R Y AGO.— Many attacks have I had from Satan's children, but yesterday you would have thought he had been permitted to give me a parting blow. I had once or twice ventured out to Oxminton Green, a large place like Moorfields, situated very near the barracks, where the Ormond and Liberty boys, that is the high and low party boys, generally assembled every Sunday to fight each other.— When I was here last the congregations were very numerous, and the word seemed to come with power, and no noise nor disturbance ensued. This encouraged me to give notice that I would preach there again. I went through the barracks, the door of which opens into the Green, and pitched my tent near the barrack walls— not doubting ofthe protection, or at least, interposition, of the officers and soldiery, if there should be occasion, But how vain is the help of man ; Yast was the multitude that attended. We sang, prayed, and preached without molestation ; only now and then a few stones and clods of dirt were thrown at me. It being war time, I exhorted, as is my usual practice, my hearers, not only to fear God, but to honour the best of kings ; and, after sermon, I prayed for success to the Prussian arms. All being over, I thought to return home the way I came ; but, to my great surprise, access was denied, so that I had to go near half a mile from one end of the Green to the other, through hundreds and hundreds of Papists, & c. Finding me unattended, ( for a soldier and four Methodist preachers who came with me, had forsook me and fled), I was left to their mercy. But their mercy, as you may easily guess, was perfect cruelty. Volleys of hard stone came from all quarters, and every step 1 took afresh stone made me » eel backwards and forwards, till I was almost breathless, and all over a gore of blood. My strong beaver hat served me, as it were, for a scull cap for a while ; but at last it was knocked off, and my head felt quite defenceless. I received many blows and wounds ; one was particularly large, and near my temples. I thought of Stephen, and, as I believed that I received more blows, 1 was in great hopes that, like him, I should be despatched, and go on in this bloody triumph to the immediate presence of my Master.— But, providentially, a minister's house lay next door to the Green ; with great difficulty f" staggered to the door, which was kindly opened to, and shut upon, me. Some of the mob in tlie mean time having broke part of the boards of the pulpit into large splinters, they beat and wounded my servant grievously inhis head and arms, and then came and drove him from the door. For a while I continued speechless, panting for and expecting every breath to be my last. Two or three of the hearers, my friends, by some means or other, got admission, and kindly, with weeping eyes, washed my bloody wounds, and gave me something to smell to and to drink. I gradually revived, but soon found the lady of the house desired my absence, for fear the house should be pulled down. What to do I knew not, being two miles from Mr. W ' s place ; some advised one thing and some, another. At length, a carpenter, one of the friends that came in, offered me his wig and coat, that I might go off in disguise. I accepted of and put them on, but was soon ashamed of not trusting my master to secure me in my proper habit, and threw them off with disdaia. I determined to go out [ since I found my presence so troublesome] in my proper habit ; immediately deliverance came. A metliodist preacher, with two friends, brought a coach ; I leaped into it, and rode in gospel triumph through the oaths, curses, aud imprecations of whole streets of papists unhurt, tho' threatened every step of the ground. None but those iwho were spectators of the scene can form any idea of the affect on with which I was received by the weeping, but now joyful Methodists. A Christian surgeon was ready to dress our wounds, which being done, I went into the preaching- place, and, after giving a word of exhortation, joined in a hymn of praise and thanksgiving to Him who makes our extremity his opportunity.. who stills the noise of the waves, & the madness ot' the most malignant people. The' next morning I set out for Port Arlington, and left my persecutors to His mercy, who out of persecutions hath often made preachers.— That I may be thus revenged of them is my hearty prayer.— Philip's Life and Times of Whitefield. W H I T E F I E L D ' S M A N N E R OF PREACHING.— Too little im portance, however, has been attached to Whitefield's manner of preaching. This is not his fault. He made no secret of his attention to delivery. He commended the study of oratory to the American colleges, and provided for it at Be thsedi, and rebuked the neglect of it at Oxford. He was not ashamed to quote Sheridan's lectures, in remonstrating with Durell. ' Sorry am 1 to find so true what a celebrated orator takes the li berty of saying in the university of Oxford, if I mistake not. ' That the state of public elocution in general, in the Church of England, is such that there never was, perhaps, a religious sect on earth, whose hearts were so little engaged in the act of worship as the members of that church. To be pleased we must feel.. and we are pleased with feeling. Tiie Presbyterians certainly are moved.. the Methodists are moved.. they go to their several meetings and tabernacles with delight. The very Quakers are moved ; whilst much the greater part of the Church of England are either banished from it through disgust, or reluctantly attend the sarvice as a disagreeable duty.' Thus far Mr. Sheridan." Whitefield even quotes Betterton the player, and affirms that the stage would soon be deserted if tlie actors spoke like preachers. Mr. Betterton's answer to a worthy prelate is worthy of lasting regard. When asked, ' How it came to pass, that the clergy, who spoke of things real, affected the people so little, and the players, who spoke of things barely imaginary, affected them so much.' he said, ' My Lord, 1 can assign but one reason ' we players speak of things imaginary as though they were real, and too many of the clergy speak of things real as though they were imaginary.' Thus it was in his, and all know it to be too much the case in our time, Hence itis, that even on our most important occasions, the worthy gentlemen concerned in our public churches generally find themselves more obliged to musicians than the preachers, and hence it is, no doubt, that upon our most solemn anniversaries, after long previous notiee has been given, and when some even of our lords spiritual do preach, perhaps not two lords temporal come to hear them-"—( Letter lo Durell). Whitefield's own maxim was, " to preach as Appellas painted, for ETERNITY." He was first struck with this maxim at the table of Archbishop Boulter, in Ireland, where the great Dr. Delany said to him, " I wish whenever I go up into a pulpit, to look upon it as the last time I shall ever preach, or the lfcSt time the people may hear." He never forgot this. He often said, ' Would ministers preach for eternity, they would then act the part of true Christian orators, and not only calmly and coolly inform the understanding, but, by persuasive, pathetic address, endeavour to move the affections and warm the heart. To act otherwise bespeaks a sad ignorance of human nature, and such an inexcusable indolence and indifference in the preacher as must constrain the hearers to suspect, whether they will or not, that the preacher, let him be who he will, only deals in the false commerce of unfelt truth."— Philip's Life and of Whitefield, T H E F A I R OF H U R D W A R . . It is difficult to afford any idea of the grandeur and beauty of the inanimate objects which render Hurdwar one of the places best worthy ofa traveller's attention in India, but still more so to convey even a feint notion of the swarms of living creatures, men aud beasts of every desepiption. which occupy every foot of ground during the time of the fair : multitudes of cows, horses, bullocks, camels, elephants, ponies, and mules, from OsbeckTartary to Benares, are crowded together, rendering the scene in the highest degree animated and interesting ; every thing is to be found at the fair, though horses form its principal attraction. The horse merchant from Bokhara and Cstbool occupy the stony central parts of the river ; while those from Torkistan take up their quarters in small enclosures behind the houses of the town. These men are famed for their ponies and galloways, animals of great power, called Toorkies, some of which bear very high prices. The elephant dealers incline to Khunkul, for the sake of fodder, but traverse the roads ofthe fair with their studs during the mornings and evenings, each elephant bearing a large bell attached to the neck, for the purp ise of giving warning to passengers of their approach. The Saneas, or grain- sellers, hulwaees, or confectioners, cloth, shawl, and toy- merchants, occupy the road side close to the town, their dwelling- place being interspersed with small enclosures containing piles of barley, and straw, heaped up andreadv for sale. On the sides of the hill to the west, thousands of S^ ik families are to be seen, with their huts, tents, camels, bullocks, mules and horses, thrown together, as it were, without order or method. Then come the tents of the • better order of visitors, formed into groups of two or three, and constructed of wh ite or striped canvas, gaily fringed, and ornamented with scallopped borderings of scarlet cloth. Then, again, are the tents of the superior horse- dealers, Arab or Persian merchants, who have brought splendid animals of the purest breed, for which they demand exceedingly enormous prices ; men, also, with bears', leopards, tigers, deer of all kinds, monkeys, Persian greyhounds, beautiful cats, and rare birds, for sale. Then there are heaps of assafcetida, in bags from the mountains beyond Cabool; sacks of raisins of various kinds ; pistachio- nuts, almonds, and boxes of preserved apricots — and stalls filled with merchandise of every description, brazen vessels of all kinds, bead- necklaces of many colours, rosaries, mouth- pieces for pipes, of agate, cornelian, lapis- lazuli, and different kinds of marble, pearls, black and white chowries, or implements for keeping off flies, formed of the long bushy tail of the yak, the cow of Thibet ; stones, for seals, of all descriptions ; bangles, bracelets, armlets, and ornaments for the ancles, of silver or pewter ; sable, tiger, leopard, ounce, and other skins , stuffed birds, the Argus- eyed, golden, and other varieties of pheasant; idols of all kinds, together with their brazen stands; real and mock coral i garlands and necklaces of tinsel; lookingglasses framed in ivory, with mosaic work in imitation of fruits and flowers, from Delhi; richly embroidered scarfs, skull- caps, and slippers; toys executed in mother- of- pearl; bales of shawls, and jewels of high prices ; broad cloth, stationery, and cutlery from England ; perfumes from Paris, Eau de* Cologne, and many other articles too tedious to mention.— The crowd and confusion of buyers and sellers, the native groups in every imaginable costume, some shining in cloth of gold, and surrounded by followers splendidly arrayed, others less expensively but picturesquely dressed, and many half- naked, or wildly clad, all mixed up with priests, soldiers, and religious mendicants, half beggar, half bandit, with here and there a cluster of Europeans mounted upon elephants, exhibit altogether a concourse which no other place in the worU can show, The noise baffles all description ; the shouts and cries of men come mingled with the neighing of horses, the trumpeting of elephants, the grants of camels, the lowing of cattle, the bellowing of bulls, the screams of birds, and the loud sharp roars of the wild beasts; and, as if these were not enough, there are gongs and drums beating, trumpets blaring, conch- « he) ls blowing, and bells ringing, which never cease for a single instant. .

C——, who was a Captain, on half- pay, of the British service, lodged several years ago in the Exchange Coffee- house, which was then kept by an old couple, whose age prevented their attending properly to their business, obliging them to confide in the management of a bar- maid, upon whom they placed much dependence, and to whom they paid a liberal salary. As C ' s circumstances were not very affluent, as is generally the case with half pays ; and he was, besides, of an extravagant turn of mind, necessity often compelled him to borrow money, at different times, from the bar- maid, who was a prndent woman, and had laid by the savings of a few years. He lived in the house for several months together; during which time he paid great attention to hei, making love to her every opportunity, and always promising marriage, of which, by- the- by, he had not the slightest notion. As be was continually making one excuse or another for delaying the nuptials and he was now upwards of .£ 200 in her debt, for cash lent to him, she determined on having either the man or the money ; and, going into his room one morning, as he lay in bed, demanded that he should either pay her what she had lent him, or immediately fulfil his oft- repeated promise of marriage. C , as usual, made some excuse ; but it would not do, she was resolved, she said, to be no longer trifled with, as she had been for months back, but to have justice immediately done. She then produced a marriage license, which she had previously procured, and informed C—, that the clergyman was then waiting at the church to marry them ; and that, unless he complied, and honourably redeemed the pledges he had so often made, she would have him arrested and sent to prison, from which it was then no easy matter to get out, by two bailiffs, whom she had then on the stairs, outside the room, waiting to see if their services would be required. At this moment, C heard the men on the stairs cough : and knowing from their being in the house, that her resolution was taken, be began to think seriously of his situation; and, after a few minutes' consideration, reluctantly yielded to her demand, requesting, at the same time, that the cdremony might be deferred nntil evening. To this, however, she would not agree ; nor would she quit the room until accompanied by him. It was certainly a curious scene to behold the captain, with the fair and fat barmaid leaning upon his arm, marching down the Strand, at slow time, towards St. Martin's Church, now and then casting a mournful look behind him, and as often encountering the keen and watchful glances of John Doe and Richard Roe, who failed not to bring up the rear, and that too. in close order. As soon as the ceremony had concluded, the same gentlemen, politely taking off their hats, made each of them a low bow, and wishing the newly married couple every happiness, immediately retired. C and his bride returned to the coffee- house, where they were received with great kindness, by the master and mistress, who, notwithstanding the short notice, had a comfortable wedding breakfast prepared for them.. Capt. Harley's Veteran, or Forty Years in the British Service. A V E R Y A G E D M A N . . A short time since, died, near Turiff, Ranshire, having attained tlieremarkable age of 132 years, John Gordon. All the travellers who chnnced to call at the inn of Turiff were uniformly directed by the landlady, Mrs. Wallace, to the cottage of the patriarch, where they would see ( she used to say) the oldest man in Banffshire, " aye, or in the warld." Among the visitors one day, about the close of harvest, was a young Englishman, who, coming up to the door of the cottage, accosted a venerable looking man, employed in knitting hose, with, " so, my old friend, can you see to knit at your advanced period of life ? one hundred and thirty- two is truly a rare age." •' De'il's the man .- it will be my grandfather ye're seeking— I'm only seventy- three— ye'll find him roundthe corner of the house." On turning round the cornerthe stranger encountered a debilitated old man, whose whitened locks bore testimonyto his havinglongpassed the meridian of life, and whom the stranger at once concluded to be Jonn Gordon himself. " You seem wonderfully fresh, my good Sir, for so old a man ; I doubt not but you have expereinced many vicisitudes in tho course of your very long life." " What's your wull Sir ? inquired the person addressed, whose sense of hearing was impaired. The observation was repeated. " Oh, ye'll be wanting my father, I reckon.. he's i'the yard there.'; " The stranger now entered the garden, where he at last found the venerable old man very busily employed in digging potatoes, and humming the ballad of the Battle of Harlaw. " I have had some difficulty in finding you, friend, as I successively encountered your grandson and son, both of whom I mistook for you— indeed they seem as old as yourself. Your labour is rather hard for one at your advanced age." " It is ( replied John), hut I am thankfu' that I am able for't, as the laddies, puir things, are no very stout now." The united ages of the worthy trio amounted to upwards of 300 years.. Examiner, A I M AT INDEPENDENCL OF M I N D There are some me who go in leading strings during all their days. They always follow in the path of others, without being able to give any reason for their opinions. There is a proper mental independence which all should maintain— self- respect and the stability of our character, require it. ' lhe man, who pins his opinions entirely on another's sleeve can have no great respect for his own judgment, and is likely to be a changeling. When we consider carefully what appeals to our minds, and exercise upon it our own reason, taking into respectful consideration what others say upon it, and then come to a conclusion of our own, we act as intelligent beings should act, and only then. This prooer independence of mind is far removed from presumptuous self- confidence, than which there is nothing more severely to be condemned. Presumption is the associate of ignorance ; and it is hateful in the extreme to hear some half- taught stripling delivering his opinions with all the authority of au oracle. This is not what we mean by mental independence ; and it is hoped none will mistake what has been said. We refer lo a modest yet firm and independent exercise of judgment upon subjects which the mind understands; in short, we intend only the opposite of that slavish habit which makes one man the mere shadow of another. . liev.
