What's a lamp in the streets, or - a star in the sky, Tu that glance which with raptifre I set? Toeugh the coach wheel's may rattle, the horses make battle, The rens fly like feathers on air ; V. t when woman's but by, with that light in her cye, Lite's as smooth as a one.horse chair. Ti . n.iuh the rabble around us may wish to confound us, IVhile I gaze on your twinkiers, my dear, All F.psom might go to the regions below,. To meet with all Doncastet there; Lend Humpback might wive his whole family hive, The Melton' at ditches look shy; The world run ago,t, and the King play leap-frog, And the Thames and the Bank both run dry. Now the bird• ate all bliss. and Sol gives his last kiss, As much as to tell us, my dove, That evening's a moment which uo one should miss Who thinks to make music or love; S.) come to my side—two such bosoms as ours Were made to be linked in one chain; I've a cloak for the sun, an umbrella for showers, And a cab for old London again. LITERATURE AND SCIENCE. All vowels in Polish are sounded as in French and Italian; and there are no diphthongs, every vowel being pronounced distinctly. The conso nants are the same as in English, except te, which is sounded like o, at the beginning of a word ; thus Warsaw— Vorsofa ; in the middle or at the end of a word it has the sound of f, as in the instance already cited; and Narew—Nore: like to. and never like k; thus. Poe is sounded Pair. a, like p in Gibbon; thus, Oginski eh, like the Greek X or k; thus. Lech—Lek. ex, like the Roglisli teh in pitch; thus, Curtner/LI pro nounce Tehartoryskt. se, like sA in shape; thus Stassye like Slashytx. szer, like shies; thus, Szcserbiec like SAteherbiets. ex, like j in je, with a slight sound of r; thus, Rzewuski THE WHITE-HEADED, Oft BALD EAGLE. The following picturesque and eloquent descrip tion of this magnificent bird is taken from Wilson s American Ornithology, which has been judiciously reprinted in Constable's Miscellany, and copiously quoted in an elegant and useful work, The Mena gerie. published under the sanction of the Zoolo gical Society : " Elevated on the high dead limb of some gigantic tree that commands a wide view of the neighbouring shore and ocean, he (the eagle) seems calmly to contemplate the mo tions of the various feathered tribes that pursue their busy avocations below ; the snow-white gulls slowly winnowing the air; the busy tringre coursing along the sands; trains of ducks streaming over the surface ; silent and watchful cranes, intent and wading ; ciamourons crows ; a nd a ll the inged multitudes that subsist by the bounty of this vast liquid magazine of nature. High over all these hovers one whose action instantly arrests his whole atten tion. By his wide curvature of wing, aud sudden suspension in air, he knows him to be the fish-hawk, settling over some devoted victim of the deep. His eye kindles at the sight, and, balancing himself' with half-opened wings, on the branch, he watches the result. Down, rapid as an arrow from heaven, descends the distant object of his attention, the roar of its wings reaching the ear as it dis appears In the deep, making the surges foam around I At this moment, the eager looks of the eagle are all ardour; and, levelling his neck for fl•ght, he sees the fish-hawk once more emerge, struggling with his prey,and mounting in the air with screams of exuhation. These ate the signals for our hero, who, launching into the air, instantly gives chase, and soon gains on th e fi s h-h aw k ; eac h exert . his utmost to mount above the other, displaying in these rencontres the most elegant and sublime aerial evolutions. The unencum bered eagle rapidly advances, and is just on the point of roschhig his opponent, when, with a sudden scream, pro. hably of despair and honest execration, the latter drops his' fish ; the eagle, poising himself for a moment, as if to take • more certain aim, descends like a whirlwind, snatches it in his grasp ere it reaches the water, and bears his ill-gotten booty silently away to the woods." 1 I, 1 • ~1 1 r A l 1 , 1..

CAUTION TO PARENTS. - - - ------- We have been obliged by order with the follow ing letter from Mr. Professor Davy, which was read at the last meeting of the Dublin Society " Royal Dublin Society's Laboratory, !Day 31. IC3I. " SlR—Last evening 1 observed in a little child's hand, some alike peppermint sugar drops, having bright red spots cn dom. suspecting they were c.oloured with a substance improper for children, I was induced to examine them, and I found that their colouring matter Is red lead. These drops me, I understand, commonly sold in our streets on slips of paper. " As the combinations of lead are known to be poisonous, and the habitual use of peppermint drops containing red lead, may lay the foundation of inveterate diseases in chil- dren, such a pernicious application of this pigment, ought, of course, to be made known to the public, and if possible, prevented. I remain, Sir, your most obedient s.-rvant,_ E DAVY." E. Madman, Esq. Assistant Secretary, Royal Dublin Socit ty." UNEDUCATiD POETS. (From the last Number of the Atheneum). There is not, never were, and never can be, such people in existvuce Men who really deserve Cie name of poets are, whatever their degree, the best educated men iu the v orld, for one and all educate themselves It is an error to suppose that the mind, any more than the body, is benefited by over-feeding, over-carefulness, or over-cultivation : cuinparatively few of the men and women who have reached the true distinction in literature, have travelled on a rail, or even Macadamized road; very few have been indebted to splendid connexions, luxurious libraries, or expensive literary aids of any kind. They have generally been men and women of disadvantages—men and women who worked for themselves, fagged out their diplomas, and fought their own way to estimation. The majority of minds that really accomplish aught, are gene rally thrown on their own resources ; and it makes little difference whether the rank be high or low, for the minds in higher life as often neglect their advantages as use them, and the minds in lower life do without, or rather create them. Education is an excellent thing both for man and beast, as Dandle Dinmont says ; but it does must for medi ocrity—the stupid or the merely clever are the prime pets of the schoolmaster : from their ranks come forth the " accomplished scholars," the men of " attainments," the people eho know every thing that every body has said in looks, and who know nothing more— the recipients of ideas, but not the originators—the appliers of theories, but not the inventors—the masons of literature, but not the architects. The title, " uneducated poet," or uneducated man of genius of any kind, is a solecism; he may not be a man of schools, or of rules, of many books, or of many literary fi lends ; but, inasmuch as he is a true poet, or a man of true genius, he is nut un educated. He has only been hie own schoolmas ter and taught himself, by making oppoltunities in stead of finding them ready made—by doing witsi books and people as Burns s.id he Lad to do with money, •' make three guineas do the work of five" —by looking for, and finding instruction hi things that others pus over—by basing a ninon alive to influences that others me heedless of. An praise and honour be to , eveiy kind of school, college, system, and institute, tl.st purports to put know ledge into the human head—for the majority of human heads are only made to bold just what is pa into them, and never to go in quest of more, still less to originate for other heads. All praise and honour be also to the said heads that passively receive whatsoever is put into them, and docilely believing wbatsoe:er is propounded to them, dogmatically (in after days) declare, to others the selfsame things in the selfsame words— the generation of worthy, honest, patient, unques tioning. unoriginating—LEAaNEsts. It is not op portunity, but application—not advantages, but energy—not being helped, but being helpful, that makes the chief difference between man and man ; between the man of one degree of mind and the man of two. All the education in the world would not have made Bloomfield a Burns ; and all the dssadvantages in the world would not have made Burns a Bloomfield : it would have been equally impossible to raise one and keep down the other. Every era has its privileged quantity of good-sort-of-genius that is encouraged, or, it is said, ought to be encouraged, but which, with all the encouragement, dies, or settles down in a kind of living mediocrity. If poets, they are pretty, pleasing—and no more; if scientific, ingenious, laborious—and no more ; if politicians, business like, useful, and " worky-day, ' but still no more. Intellectual competence is theirs ; but the wealth and honours of genius are not for them. We do not admire Burns because he was a ploughman, or Byron, because he was a peer, but because each in his department is a master spirit, who carries us on the wings of genius into a world of enjoyment. We never remember either Harrow or plough —we totally forget the literary advantages which were showered upon the one, and which were withheld from the _other; we feel our selves equally in the grasp of a giant; and because we do so, are careless by what culture either at tained his strength and beauty. It would be dif ferent if, in the place of Burns, we were reading Mrs. Yearsley, or Stephen Duck; then we should carefully remember their origin, calling, and dis advantages ; and the doing so, and the being ready to cry, " how wonderful, considering;"— would be a proof that neither are wonders; for if they were, we should be unable to think of these minor matters. That is a fine expression. Talent and cleverness may be crushed, may " blush unseen," may " waste their sweetness," but GENIUS never. Sooner or later we see it " co•uing forth, and rejoicing like a strong man to ' run a race—having its going forth from the end of the heaven, and its circuit unto the ends of it, and I nothing hid from the heat thereof." We do not mean to assert that every man of genius obtains his due : the men may be injured, kept down, rendered wretched, may die unho- • poured ; but their memorial does not perish with them ; their genius has a resurrectioaary power, and, like their spirits, walks the earth unseen.— Their time of triumph comes—long, perhaps, after 1 date,—but still it comes : other men of genius arise—by whom the departed ones are under- stood ; and honoured, defended, loved, and mourned. Neither in high life nor in low, neither by edu cation nor by patronage, is 1 ble to bring up prodigies. Genius cannot, Bite pumpkins, be reared under a bell-glass. The only real good effected by patronage—the only effectual way of *hosting patronage--is by giving a man of genius an opportunity of showing what he can do—is by clearing the course, and leaving him to himielf. When Burns WWI exhi bited in Edinburgh, what sustained and stamped hiin as a roil marvel—a 'giant ofttatUral growth- . it man possessing an tx.riitaer that dazzled without being dazzled in return—that overtopped and overshadowed others without being overtopped or overshadowed by others? Neither professors, nor fair ladies, nor poets (so called),—but himself and his own strength. To call Burns an " un educated poet," is a self-evident absurdity ; he knew more (exclusive perhaps of scholastic terms), than one half of the people round him, to whom literature and science had been household gods from their youth : he saw deeper into the springs of thought and feeling, into character, and into the world. His letters, and, still more, the memoranda in his Reliques,' mark the extraordinary vigour of his understanding, the general culture of his in tellect, far more palpably than his poetry does. We may miss knowledge in its scholastic forms, but we have it in the essential spirit ; and his remarks are more pungent, coming straight from his own mind, than if they had been elaborated by argu ment, or rounded off by learned allusions. On Tuesd.ty night a large game cover near Proc., belonging to Sir ft. Hill, Bart, was sat firs to by some incendiary ; it was with groat difficulty the Gates were subdued, after consuming about an acre of trees and underwood. A reward of 100 guineas is offered for the detection of the incen diary. In 1429, au important change was made as to the qualifications of the voter. for knights of the shire. These were obliged to prove themselves worth 40s. per annum. Before this every freeholder might vote, and the vast concourse of electors brought on riots and murders. Seventy pounds would, in modern days, be barely an equivalent fur our an cestors 404. The freeholders were, at the same time. directed to choose two of the fittest and most discreet knights, resident iu their county ; or, if none could be found, notable esquires, gentlemen by birth, and qualified to be made knights ; but no yeoman or persons of inferior rank. Nouw ace Po RT.—A new harbour has been fur some tine forming at the entrance of Lake Lothing, below Norwich, by means of which that ancient city will become a sea-port. On Friday, the 34 instant, the first vessel, the Ruby yacht, of 50 tons, entered the Lake through the lock from the sea. Some of the circumstances attending the ad mission of the sea-water into the lake were parti cularly striking. The salt water entered the lake with a strong under -current, over which the fresh ran out to the sea. The fresh water was gradually raised to the sur.ace, and the entire body of water iu the lake aas elevated above its former level. At a short distance from the lock, in the lake, there was a clearly defined line, where the salt water ight be taken up in one band, and the fresh in the other. The admission of the sea-water proved fatal to thousands of the inhabitants of the lake, and It. surface was seen covered with dead pike, carp, perch, bream, roach, and dace. It is a sin l gula: fact that a pike, of about 20 pounds weight. was taken up .dead, in the stomach of which a was found entire. PAyORAHA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

George Burgess deposed, that on Thurs. day night, the 2d of June, about twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, he was passing the house when he saw three persons come out of It. Being thus induced to go in, he found two other persons In the tap-room and saw a jug and glass with some liquor in them, and which Mrs. Clapham, on observing him, emptied into the 6n-plate. This witness, is his cross-examination by Mr. Grimsditch, said that be could not swear that the Divot was either beer or cider, as he did not taste it, but it was of the same col ou r a s beer.; A person named Stafford, the manager of the works of the Macclesfield Coal Com. pony, and one of these who left the house as Burgess en- I twed ; another named Brocklebarst, end another named Chadwick, who remained in the house, swore positively that no liquor was either drawn or consumed in the house after half-past Dint o'clock; that there was none loft lx the jug or glass after that time ; and that none was thrown in the fire-place. The Magistrates dismissed the com plaint. Mr. Littleton's Bill to prevent the payment of wages in , goods, (or Tr u ck a s ft is generally called,) has been singu. larly unfortunate. After innumerable obstacles in the early stages of the business, the demise of George the Fourth suspended its progress, just when it was on the eve of being , read a third time in the Parliament then sitting, and it had scarcely passed the last House of Cummons a week when the dissolutiontook place. It has. therefore, to wow is W I OO before the new Parliament. Be this, however, as It may, the measure will doubtless be urged on the attention of the Legislature at the earliest moment, and the following are the principal features of the Bill , as amended by the Com mittee Ist.—That any agreement respecting the place where, or the time when, or the manner in which, ur the person with whom, any part of the wages of the workman shall be laid out, shall rends his contract of service void. t`nd.—That the entire amount of the workman's wages shall be actually paid him in the current coin of the realm, without any deduction or stoppage being made therefrom on any account whatever ; and that every payment otherwise shall be void. 3/11.—That the workman may recover the whole or any put of his wages not actually paid him in money. dth.—That in any proceedings by the workman for reco very of wftes, the master shall nut he allowed to make a set off for goods, wares or merchandise had or taken by the workman on account of his wages or labour. litb.—That no employer of a workman shall he entitled to maintain any action against the workman, " for or In re spect of any goods, wares or merchandise sold, delivered, or supplied to any artificer by any such employer," whether on account of wages or not. Mau. Coacw oicanars.—On Friday morning, on the ar. rival of the ilaucherter mail at the Hotel, Wolverhampton, the coachman, as usual, threw down the reins, but before he had descended from Ids seat, the hones, from some nn. known cause, were alarmed, and started off at full gallop. The coachman sprang orate vehicle without injury, leavingoa the outside two gendemen, we believe foreigners. When s little below Me Lion Hotel, in Nonb.street, one of the gentlemen jumped from his seat, and by his fall to the grouted broke one of his legs, and greatly injured his shoulder, and serval other parts of his body. The other gentleman, we are happy to say, clung fast to the km rail oa the top, and escaped without the slightest injury.

FINE WORDS.—A weekly periodical (Gazette) la • review of a new edition of " Herodotus," states it as " well calculated to brush up the memories of the oblivious, and resuscitate the faculties of tetrad= ;" and, in the same sheet, in a letter on the natural history of the toad, the animal is described as feeding on ants " with the most laughable rslosity."—Berkdoes Globe. A young gentleman who had quarrelled with a lady to whom be bed paid his addresses, was so impudent as to threaten that he would publish the letters she had written him.

Tug War TO Succssa.—Tbe way to success in life is to wink at the vices of the age, to be climy of Its errors of thought and practice, to agree with it, to walk side by side with it. The world, like a man with the gout, can not endure rough usage ' • hence those have always been In best repute as moralists and men of sense, who have treated it with knity and forbearance. To walk with the world with an orthodox steady pace, neither hastening before, nor lag. ging behind it, is, in nine cases out of ten, to ensure its fa vour ; but to step forward like a foilsman from the ranks of society, no matter bow just be one's claim to such distinc tion, is at once to rem, tint , the world's a . tention—next, its envy, and lastly, its bitter, inextinguishable hatred.— Buroadoes Wok.

The fire-insurance offices are sometimes plagued with applications hose insurers of a certain class, who are determined to have the worth of their money. Claims are frequently made for the accidental tumbling of clothes into the fire; and it was not long since a claim was made for the value of the dress of a little girl who was burned to death. An elderly gentleman, who was Insured in the Eagle Fire Insuranc •• Office a few years ago. produced his hat, with a man hole burned in it, at the office, and said he considered himself entitled to the sum of SSA:, the price it originally cost him. " Why," said the actuary, " you have wont it for several years, and it is worth little or nothing." "To me," aid the insurer," it was of great value, for I esteem. ed it es an old friend, and would never have parted with it while it covered my head." " But how," said the actuary, "did you burn the hole in it ? Any one may burn a bole la en old hat to get a new one." " I did It by accident," I cried the claimant ; " I was reading the account of a victory In a newspaper, and I really knew nothing of the matter till I hand my bead on Ore."

The cholera morbus is exciting some alarm at Paris ; and as epidemical malady, which is raging in the hospital of the Bickre, has been converted by buy rumour into that terrible disease. M.
