We are in a barbarous condition, like that of every people scattered over a territory immense in proportion to their numbers; every man is obliged to oc cupy himself with questions of daily bread ; their is neither leisure nor reward for the inves tigation of abstract truth ; money-getting is the universal object ; taste, science, morals, manners, politics, are subjects of little interest, unless they happen to bear upon the wool question . ; and, what is more deplorable, we have not any pros pect of a change for the better.

POETS BAD LOVERS. Poets seldom make good lovers, except on paper ; there is no serving God and mammon. The concentration of thought, which goes to the highest flights of composition, allows the feeling but little play. There has been much dispute, whether great actors are the dupes of their own art ; but the great actors themselves have ho nestly avowed, that they owe their successes to their coolness and self-possession ; and the poets, if they were equally candid, would own them selves in the same predicament. They are not, however, often inclined to make the confession. Horace says, " We must weep ourselves, before we can make our readers weep ;" and Pope's 44 He best can paint them who can feel them most," goes very nearly to the same tune. Pas sion, though eloquent, is not descriptive, and delights not in those details which make the es sence of impressive writing. Dr. Johnson, who loved, or fancied he loved, his she-bear, and was, therefore, (good bruin !) the better authority on the subject, has said, " he who woos his mistress in verse, deserves to lose her ;" and there is no woman of sense who would not come to the same conclusion. I have heard an odd paradox ical person assign a physiological reason for this. When one great organ, he says, is much and permanently excited, the developement is at the expense of all the other functions. Head work ers in particular have uniformly bad digestions ; and how can a man be heroically in love with a feeble stomach ? I, who am no physiologist, can only appeal to facts. Pope, Dryden, Swift, Racine, Boileau, La Fontaine, were none of them famous as lovers ; they had no " great pas sion," and excited none ; some of them were ab solutely insensible to female charms, and were sceptics to their influence. La Fontaine, with all his naivete, (which is so generally indicative of passion,) was as cold as an icicle. " Je doute," says Ninon, his friend, " qu'il . y ait un filtre amoureux pour La Fontaine. Il n'a gure aime les femmes." I have some doubts even of the sensibility of the divine Petrarch, notwithstanding his thousand and one sonnets, which made so little impression on Laura. As to Ovid, his conceits are the antipodes of pas sion and feeling ; and Anacreon was so mere a roué, that I should as soon take Don Juan for a martyr to the belle passion as he. Cowley, who wrote so much upon love, was an anchorite. Prior, who wrote so freely on it, was a rake ; and Rousseau, a poet in prose, wrote " Julie," and lived with Therese, who, besides being an imbgcille, was neither chaste nor sober, and was " all for love, and a little for the bottle." When Doctor de Pruli chided Rousseau, a few days before his death, for exposing himself, in his weak health, by going to the cellar, Rousseau, pointing to Therese, observed, " (due voulez vous? quand elle y va, elle y rester ' " What would you have me do ? when she goes to the cellar, she always stays there."—Lady Morgan. A correspondent informs us that THOMAS ARctinoLD, of Colton, near this city, has a cat which lately attacked a very large adder near his house, and after a severe struggle, completely conquered_and destroyed it,—. York Herald. James Rogers, in the service of Mr. Chapman.— On Monday morning last he brought the body of a cow to Newgate-market by order of his master. He was directed to deliver it to Messrs. Challis and Harris, the salesmen. Alderman ANSLEY—You had no direction what they were to do with it ? Witness—No. One quarter was carried to the place by a porter, but he brcught it back to the cart directly, because the salesman was not then up. It was then a little after five in the morning. William Adams, in the service of Messrs. Challis and Harris, said that the porter brought the quarter to him, but his master having given him strict orders not to receive any thing unfit for sale, he ob jected to receiving it, and when his master came he sent him to the cart to look at it. Mr. Dunsby—Then in your judgment as a butcher it was ❑nfit for food. Witness—l had such strict orders, I thought I ought not to receive it. Mr. Dunsby—Did your master sanction your re jection ?—Witness : The meat was such as he did not choose to have any thing to do with. William Fisher, the cleric of the market, consi dered the meat unwholesome. There was no doubt upon his mind that the cow died without being killed. Wilmer, a patrol, who had been in the grazing line sixteen years, also believed the meat to be unfit for human food. When Mr. Harris looked at it in the cart, he turned away, and said, " I'll have no thing to do with it." Bates being recalled by Mr. Dunsby, and ques tioned as to what he heard in the country when he went with the summons, said he learnt that the cow had dropped in a close next Dockeray's, a butcher and publican at Cheshunt. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY objected to any hearsay evidence being taken, but Mr. Dunsby persisting in his inquiries, Bates said, Dockeray told him he had heard from Samuel Mould, a cow-doctor, that he offered to buy it, but his offer was rejected, because it was said that 71. or 81. could be obtained for the carcass in London. In the neck there were as many holes as in the top of a pepper-box, from the re peated attempts to make it bleed freer. There being no further evidence, Mr. Chapman said it was false that this cow had died in a close next Dockeray's; and if any cow did• die there, it was a different case. Dockeray lived at a considerable distance from the field where this cow dropped her calf. She was afterwards regularly killed in the field, and dragged upon a truck to the slaughter-house, 100 yards off. The cow was full of fat, and in blooming condition, and he thought it would be a pity to lose her. The carcass looked very clean and handsome, except that one of the quarters was bruised. Mr. Dunsby—Being killed in the particular state you have mentioned, did you consider the meat as fit for food as any other beast ? Mr. Chapman—lt was very good. Mr. Dunsby recalled Mr. Fisher, who being asked if he thought a cow killed immediately after calving was fit for food, replied he should say it was not. Mr. Over, a retired master butcher, was asked the same question, and gave a similar answer. Mr. Over was sure Mr. Chapman must, upon reflection, see that the loins in particular, which were the seat of pain, in a cow killed, as it were, while in the ago nies of parturition, must be discoloured. Mr. Dunsby asked why the carcass was sent to London for Monday's market, there being a consi derable meat market at Ware on Tuesday, within seven miles of the place where it was killed. Mr. Chapman said, because the London market had always been the receptacle for such kind of. meat. There was no consumption for it elsewhere. Mr. Dunsby thanked him for so frankly stating the feeling in the country respecting the palates and judgment of the Londoners. Mr. Chapman called John Miles, his servant, who swore that the cow was alive in the field, when he knocked it on the head and stuck it. A pailfull and a•half of blood came from it. Mr. Dunsby—lt was in a very healthy state ? Miles—l cannot say more than this,—l ate the scut.—(A laugh.) Mr. Dunsby—lf you had eaten the hide, it would not have proved the meat was; good. It was in a healthy state ? Miles—lt was " down," but it was alive. Mr. Dunsby—l am afraid that is as much as you can say. Miles—lt might have lived three or four days, or recovered with a little expense. The City Solicitor remarked, that a fine cow worth 201. would not have been killed to be sold for 81. if there had been a hope of recovery. A gentleman from Cheshunt spoke to the cow being in fat high condition two days before it was killed, and Mr. Chapman rested his case on Mould, the cow-doctor, having advised that he should be killed for London, denying, at the same time, - that Mould had offered to buy it as dog's meat. John Kidgell Sandon, Esq., was anxious to make some observations, but Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said Mr. Sandon's name had not been mentioned in these proceedings, and he would advise him to refrain, lest he might crimi nate himself. Mr. Sandon said, as his name had been mentioned in the newspapers, he wished to speak the truth. The Alderman again interrupted him, to repeat his caution. Mr. Dunsby submitted that this was a case which called forprosecution,if the City Solicitor thought the evidence brought the charge home to Mr. Chapman. The City Solicitor thought the evidence quite strong enough. Mr. Chapman said it would be exceedingly hard to prosecute him for killing the beast under Mr. Sandon's direction. Captain Sandon said, Mr. Chapman would recol lect he directed him entirely upon the advice he re eeived from him. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said, he would only re quire Mr. Chapman to enter into his own recogni zance in 50/. to appear at the next Sessions, if the City Solicitor should think it a case to prosecute. Mr. Chapman entered into the desired recogni zance. Mr. Dunsby hoped this would be the last case he should bring to notice. If the country gentlemen were so kind as to send the Cocknies any more un sound meat, _they would probably find they would = Yesterday the stewarl and secretary of a Ger tan benefit society appei .ed before Mr. HALLS, to answer the comp!aint of Adolph Frederick Birch, a very old and infirm German, whose name had been " scratched" from the books of the society for an alleged non-compliance with its rules. It appeared that the complainant, who is almost in his second childhood, has been for 40 years a member of the society, paying regularly his subscrip tions during that long period, and seldom if ever re quiring to participate in the advantages to which he was entitled. By the rules of the society it is in cutntent that members shall pay their arrears of subscription within six months, in default of which they are liable to be " scratched,"—that is, exclud ed altogether from the society. In the present in stance it appeared, that the complainant was in arrear last Christmas, to the amount of about 12s. On the March following, this arrear was paid up, and the amount entered regularly in the book of sub scriptions. The entry, however, did not specify the sum as the balance of a former payment, but the .12s. were placed to the account of the current quarter. Owing to the growing infimities of the complainant, he was at last obliged to apply to the society for a stipulated allowance, when his applica tion was met by a refusal, on the ground that more than six months had expired since last he had paid up his subscription, and that, consequently, his name had been erased from the books, and he was no longer to consider himself a member of the society. Mr. HALLS, on referring to the entry in the book, observed that it was a clear acknowledgment made by the complainant in the month of March, for the quarter then due. Upon what ground, therefore, could the officers of the society turn round upon so old a member and tell him that he was excluded, as' he had suffered an arrear of six months and upwards? The Secretary endeavoured to show that the 12s. paid in March was merely the balance of the December payment. He admitted that the sum had been improperly entered. Mr. HALLS—And is this poor old man to suffer for your error? I shall take the entry as I find it, and not as you would wish it to appear. It has not been proved to me that the complainant has suffered six months to expire . --' since his last payment, and therefore I determine 'that he be at once restored to all the benefits of the society, of which he has been so long a member. The attempt to deprive him of his hard-earned rights was most discreditable to the society, and furnished another instance of the un principled manner in which benefit societies were in general conducted. The old man stepped forward. to thank the Magis trate for his humane decision, and Mr. HALLS ex pressed a hope that he would live for many years to vex the worthy conductors of, the German Benefi Society. HATTON-GARDEN. Mr. Vincent, chymist, of High•street, St. Giles's, an elderly man, was yesterday brought up upon a warrant before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. ROGERS and Mr. Serjeant SELLON, by the parish authorities of St. James's, Clerkenwell, to have an order of affiliation made upon him. It appeared from the statement of Anne Wallace, the mother of the child, that in October last she met the defendant for the first time in her life in Port land-place, and was prevailed upon by him to accom pany him to a house of accommodation, where an intercourse took place between them ; the conse quence of which was, that she became pregnant. He promised to meet her the following evening at the same place ; but he did not keep his promise, and she saw him no more for several months after wards, till she was one day passing along High street, St. Giles's, when she met him standing at his own door, and, going up to speak to him, he shut the door against her. At the time the inter course took place, she knew neither his name nor where he resided. In June she was obliged to go into the workhouse, and there she was delivered of a female child. She had no connexion, in the mean time, nor for several months previously, with any other individual. She had no evidence to corrobo rate her statement, nor did she even know the house into which the defendant had taken her. Mr. Vincent denied the woman's statement, and insisted that he had never in his life seen her before he was brought to confront her in this office. Mrs. Norton, an elderly female, with whom the complainant Wallace lodged during her pregnancy, came forward and deposed, that she told her three months ago that a young man who kept a grocer's shop in Marylebone was the father of the child in question. Mr. Serjeant SELLON believed the mother's state ment, unsupported as it was by the least corrobora tive evidence, to be the story of a vagabond. He, under all the circumstances, would not consent to make an order, nhich would most likely destroy for ever the peace of the defendant and his family. Mr. ROGERS agreed with the Learned Serjeant, and the order was accordingly refused. THAMES POLICE-OFFICE. Thomas Winne, one of the licensed pilots of the Trinity Corporation, was yesterday fined 40s. and costs, fur gross misconduct to one of the firemen in the St. Katharine Docks; and J. Ditchin, mate of the Flynn, lying in those docks, was also fined 18s. for having a candle lighted after the usual hours, and for offering liquor to one of the officers of the company to conceal the fact. REMARKABLE PIG.--A sow, belonging to Mr. COWLISHAW, chymist and druggist, Mansfield, he produced a very singular pig. Its fore legs, instead of the usual position, are in a triangular form, with the feet up wards, similar to a person's arms when the hands are tak ing hold of the coat collar ; the fore feet resemble those of a mole, and have a knuckle similar to a human being ; one ear is more than twice the size of the other ; and the crown of the head varies from the swine. This pheno menon is dead. RUSSIAN EMPIRE.—The Russian empire extends over 368,000 square geometrical miles of 15 to a degree (being upwards of four times as long as an English statute mile, 69 of which go to a degree), 100,000 miles in Europe, more than 243,000 miles in Asia, and the re sidue in America. This empire comprehends one-half of Europe, and a third of Asia; it forms the ninth part of the, habitable globe. Its European division is peopled by 58 millions of inhabitants, its Asiatic by two millions, and its American by 50,000. The total number is 60 million of souls, which, however, gives no more than 161 persons to each squam e mile. In this population, and in Europe alone, we perceive 2,500,000 Finns, less than 500,000 Germans and Scandinavians, and 50 millions of Sim nians, of whom four millions are Poles. The Russian ter ritory is considered capable of supporting 150 millions of human beings, and its population to increase at a yearly rate of half a million. APPEAL TO FREEMA SONS.—At the splendid Dinner given by the Public Authorities of Glasgow, after the laying the foundation of a New Bridge, across the Clyde— at which upwards of 50,000 Spectators were present—the health of Mr. BUCKINGHAM, as a brother Mason and a visi tor, being drunk, drew from him a Speech, in which an Appeal is made by him to all true Masons throughout the World, (for they are a large family, and embrace all kin dreds, nations, and tongues), to assist him in constructing the Arches of a truly Masonic Bridge, to unite together Great Britain and India. This Speech, so full as it is of Masonic Illustrations, will be read with interest by all the brotherhood of the Order ; and to secure its accuracy, a revised edition of it will be published in " The Oriental Herald " for September.—Published by Messrs. Huasz, CHANCE, and Co. of London; and to be had, by order, of all Booksellers Great Britain and Ireland. divided into but two classes—criminal slaves, and their temporary owners. But let me tell you, this is by no means the case. We have gradations of rank, almost as numerous as those which divide the community of England. The Governor is King ; and a much more powerful man he is, in respect to those over whom he rules, than the Sovereign of Britain. This will be clear to you, when you reflect that the King of England can govern only by responsible Mini sters, and that our King governs without respon sibility, except to those who appoint him ; who live at the antipodes of his palace, and who, of course, trouble themselves but little about this distant and insignificant settlement. Besides, an Englishman may be at better variance with the Ministers, without the slightest injury to his private affairs; however loud his opposition, his name may not even be known to the Go vernment ; and, though he should be a thorn in their sides, like Joseph Hume, he may be rich and happy in spite of them. Whereas in this small community every man's words are reported and weighed ; and the ill will of the Sovereign may deeply affect his fortunes. Here scarcely any body lives on a fortune made by his grand father. It is a local Government which sup- )lies the means of production, and which, again, is the principal purchaser for consumption. — Here convicts are of immense value, and it is the Government which bestows those temporary slaves ; here almost every man is a cultivator of the soil, and the Government is the principal buyer of agricultural produce. Add to this the Governor disposes of many offices, some giving rank, and some profit, and, above all, of waste land, that is, of unappropriated water, air, and earth ! Hence you may conceive that the Government, or rather the Governor, pos sesses extraordinary power for good or evil.— How such a degree of power may be used for evil, you will learn, if ycu come here, merely by listening when you are at the Cape of Good Hope. Here there is not any reason for complaint ; and I use the lan guage of complaint unwillingly, merely because I could not otherwise give you a true picture of our condition. Need I say that there can be no Court without courtiers ? Of course, there is a pretty numerous class —numerous, I mean, in proportion to forty-five thousand inhabitants, altogether devoted to " His Excellency."— This class forms the " best society" of Sydney. It is composed, for the most part, of Govern ment officers, unconnected with the colony, excepting by their offices, of local Magis trates, who are all settlers, and land-owners, and of the more opulent merchants, together with their respective wives. Now look back to what I have said of the original composition of the emigrants, not convicts. Do you smile at the picture which your imagination must have conceived ? A. Court, an Aristocracy, an ex clusive set, persons of fashion, ladies patronesses, composed, King and all, of people such as the English who inhabit Boulogne ;—a St. James's, a White's, an Almack's, at Botany Bay ! It is true, as I hope to be saved. But why should you wonder ?—Where did men and women ever congregate without the assumption, by a few of them, of superiority to the many ? Nothing is more general—nothing, therefore, is more vulgar, than exclusiveness. Laugh rather at the thing itself than at its existence here. As in France, the first class chill themselves " Gens comme it fact ;" and in England, " people of fashion," or " the world,"—so here, the leaders of society are distinguished by a pe culiar term. They are called " respectable." Not to speak of France, it is difficult to say what in England constitutes " fashion."—Not high birth, certainly—for some of the despots of English society are sprung from the dunghill Our epithet to express exclusiveness is, I think, better chosen—for, though strictly speaking, it means worthy of respect, it is claimed here onl3 by those to whom respect is paid. In England the Quarterly Review tells us, " respectability' means keeping a gig—here it means dining with the Governor. You will readily understand, that an exclusive set being once established, those who compose it are jealous of their privileges. In this respect we do but mimic the " best society" of England. We are proud, shy, difficult of access to those whom we despise—presumptuous, sarcastic of whatever does not meet our notions of right, swollen, blinded with a sense of our own im portance. In a word, we are " the world" at Botany Bay.—We look with an evil eye upon those who are rising to belong to us—we exa mine and canvass their pretensions, and we ad mit them only after a long course of insult, to the honour of equal terms. They, in their turn, become excluders, and thus the farce proceeds— but is not this a picture of Grosvenor-square ? Our manners set the fashion. Those whom we exclude, exclude others. Free emigrants claim to be of a nature superior to convicts ; convicts, whose terms of punishment have ex pired, behave as if their flesh and blood were wholly unlike that of convicts still in durance ; convicts, who have not been convicted south of the line, scorn those who have ; and these several classes, except the last, are as proud and tena cious of their privileges as in every distinctive class in England, except the unhappy lowest ; or, as is every shade of colour in the West In dies except the perfect black. The main fea tures of the human character are everywhere alike, and a passion for distinctions seems to be implanted in our nature. , Recollecting what has been said of the class to which you, as an emigrant, would belong, now learn, that our most interesting subject of con versation is the price of wool. As our territory is extensive in proportion to its inhabitants, so, and for that very reason, our ideas are confined within a circle extremely narrow. Owing to the cheapness of land, it is impossible to obtain a revenue without labour -of some kind, and farming is the most fashionable kind of labour. Owing to the dearness of manual labour we pro duce hardly any commodity for the foreign market except wool, which may be produced almost without hands. Thus landlords and m e rchants think continu a lly of wool, as did the En g li sh landlords and merchants at th e time when wool sacks were placed in the House of Lords, to fix the thoughts of the Legislature on what most Club ever tire of military concerns ?—is the bar ever sick of Lawyers' gossip ?—do anchors ever shun the subject of their own works ? lii Eng , land, however, there is an unavoidable vairiety . which gives a greater zest to the indulgence rif the ruling idea. Here we have nothing but wool, wool, wool ; and it will be thus to the end of a chapter, of which we have seen only the first page. But, you ask, do the women think of nothing but wool ? Ladies ! Sir, if you please. Wo men, indeed ! I should like to hear you call our Governor's wile a woman. At a tea party in New York, when I was the only man, I re- , marked that the men of America shewed very bad taste, and a sad ignorance of what consti tutes happiness by prizing so little the wo men. " Women, indeed !" exclaimed a tall, slender, sallow girl, without teeth. " Wet-- men, indeed !" and then she turned up her nose and snorted, as if I had called her a dog's wife. Like tokens of displeasure were evinced by the whole circle. I felt that the word " wo men " had given offence. Cautiously, and fear ing to make bad worse, I said " females "—the society of females. Still wrong :—I tried again; " the sex," said I, in a deprecating wheedling tone, " the society of the fair sex." No ; though the general scowl was somewhat relaxed, I felt quite confounded, and wished for an earth quake to cover my embarrassment. At length . the first offended one—pitying me, I suppose — gravely uttered " the ladies." " The ladies," shouted I—and all was right. In new countries, where, for the reason already given, narrow-mindedness must prevail, politeness consists entirely of forms; and the least infraction of those precise rules, which make up the code of behaviour, is reckoned a grave offence. So it is here ; not exactly, because this is a new country, for it is not old enough to have a character of its , own—but, because the greater part of those who have transported them selves hither were originally narrow-minded-- because persons of enlarged views will not quit civilization and refinement, to vegetate in the . wilderness. Some fifty . years hence, Australia will have a native stock of the attributes of new ness ;—she has those attributes now, but they are importations from England. Fifty years hence a Sydney tea party will be dangerous ground for an uninitiated Englishman, not a prig ;—even now it contains sonic awkward spots which are hidden from him, who is used only to the firm footing of truly polished intercourse. Am I not repining over" much ? I admit it ; the barbarism of new countries is become my ruling idea. Now I will answer your questions. The ladies of Sydney do think of something besides wool. They think of household affairs, of beef, mut ton, pork ; of their convict maid-servants, who, however troublesome, are better than none ; of dress, earnestly, though not profoundly, as they study less to ornament their persons than to out vie their neighbours in finery ; of questions of precedence, which furnish them with heart burnings, bickerings, and desperate feuds ; of their " respectability ;" and of all those very, very, little things which occupy the minds of women not strongly tempted to acquire, either delightful knowledge, or the other arts, meaner than knowledge, by which superior men arc pleased. Will you come here ? Are there not plenty of vulgar bodies in England ? Plenty. Then fancy one of them converted, by sudden elevation, to the first place any where, into a vulgar fine lady ; and you will form a pretty cor rect idea of a setter of fashions at Sydney. Mind—l am speaking only of our old or middle aged ladies patronesses. There is a young race of striking beauty, fair as the Italian's beau ideal of complexion, and formed after the Grecian model. The latitude of Sydney is 33 degrees south ; that of Cyprus is about 35 north ; the line of heat is north of the equator ; all imported animals improve here. But I will not explain myself yet ;—the " Currency Lasses," as they are called, shall have a chapter to themselves. (To BE CONTINUED.) We understand that it is the intention of the sportsmen in many parts of England to refrain from shoot ing till the middle of September, in consequence of the lateness of the harvest. The birds, also, from the conti nuance of wet, are represented to be in a very weak state, so that the course proposed, by giving them time to recover, in the event of an alteration of the weather, would materially improve the sport.— Western Luminary. THE GIANT.—Died, after an illness of six months, at the house of Mr. H. NORRIS, in Old Hall - street, Mr. C. HAMILTON, the celebrated Irish giant. He was certainly the tallest man in the kingdom, being with out shoes seven feet six inches high. Mr. HAMILTON wa s a native of the county of Down, and has only travelled a short time. He came to our fair on the 30th of July last, since which time he has been gradually sinking under a decline. Mr. H. was 34 years of age, and we are sorry to say has left a wife and five children, the youngest only twelve months old, in Ireland, totally unprovided for.— Bolton Chronicle. _ _ Last hunting season, as Sir —, after a hard morning's ride after a fox, who had done his best to save his brush, was returning home in a direction touching this passa t own , wheel, hde et alh,e a gu n firpo d nouenp at n,ol oifacoedt grinders,ir,rvae i pa ce , echrs ,efh f of o rrtehlreeed bestrode,mutual b valoe, euoan hadakeani bivouacking egs occa sio nt near ue h at i r l nostacitti to cake ; the knight of the whoop-hollo being observed to eye the viands somewhat wistfully, was accosted by one of the wheelmen with—" Thou looks hard, will't have a hit y" The sportsman had no objection, whereupon the grinder cut him a respectable mouthful ; this savoury snack was followed by a slice from another ,of the party, which as speedily followed the former.
