AIR-Mrs. O'Daisy. • When first for Ould England I left Killarney, And footed it merrily over the sea— The folks they so bother'd me all with their blarney I wish'd myself back with sweet Judy M'Cree; But I hit of a honey, who tipped me some money, And 'listed me, faith ! in the twitik of an eye A loyal dragoon soon I strutted so funny, And devil a soul was so merry as I. A pair of jack boots, oh ! they bade me be claning, As rough as a badger the:r surfaces were ; " But, arrah !" says i, " and what is it you're loaning Botheration ! I never can polish these here. That soon they convinced me of sense I was lacking, And wasn't half up to the best of their fun ; For scarce had I toticli'd 'cm with Warren's Jet Blacking, Ere they shew'd my nate features as bright as the sun. Sure I thought 'twas Ould Nick, that deceitful rapscallion, Had play'd Ire sortie trick, and the phiz was his own; But I learned from the ctature that drill'd the battal.on, 'l'was the beauty of Warren's Jet Blacking alone; So I carry the face of each lass that passes, On both my jack boots ; and, no longer a loon, When I visit Killarney, the swate Irish lasses Will sitnper and sigh for the Irish Dragoon .

By public dinners, mean this one in particular, for I never go to any other : I subscribe to no other institution. Let every one look to his own, is my maxim ; and if every body were to attend strictly to that, much more good would be done in the world than is done. As you say, they are useful else one might just as well save one's guinea; for, for my part I take no pleasure in this sort of thing ; and, as for dinner, I can dine much better at home for half-a-crown. But they arc useful—they sometimes make connections." " Make connections I" exclaimed I. " What mean you by making connections ?" " Why," replied he, " I mean that one sometimes meets with people one might not otherwise have encountered, and thus a stray commission may fall in one's way. I have received four or five in this very room upon diff erent occas i ons o f t hi s ki n d. Th a t i s my motive for coming here.

(From the Gardener's Gazette.) The Greenfly- is particularly annoyint , at this season, es pecially in frames. Destroy them with tobacco smoke. SOW TURNIPS at intervals till the end of the month. Keep Borders and Beds very free fliorn weeds, and, above all things, take care that in no portion of the pre mises weeds are allowed to perfect, and scatter their seeds. Newly-budded TREES should have moss loosely tied about the wound, during the very hot weather. Fork between all the DAHLIAS in the plantations, but not too close to the root. Take care that the fast growing shoots are supported by ties to stakes, for no matter how many stakes there are if the growth be not watched. Plant out late 10-week Stocks for autumn bloom, also all Annuals that will bloom till the frosts cut them off. Turn out from American, and other blooming shrubs, all waste growth, for it will sssist in perfecting bloom. Water all small sized American plants, that they may have nou rishment to complete their growth, and set for bloom. AURICULA, POLYANTHUS, and all seeds of which the plants are two seasons before they bloom—shade them from the sun, and continue well watering them. Never let them be checked from a want of moisture. JOURNAL OF A RIDE FROM LON- DON TO PERTH. (From the Gardeners' Gazette.) JULY 10, MONDAY.—Set out at S A.M. Crops of corn and pulse commenced about twenty miles from London, and very wretched in appearance. At Biggleswade much improved—several spots of barley lodged by recent showers; further to the north, or about 100 miles from London, still better appearance, but yet inferior—potatoe s very slender and thin in the stalk all along : all vegetables slender in appearance. At the hundredth mile, crops sen sibly later than near London—the ear of the barley just peeping out. In Yorkshire rather earlier again. On ar riving at liggleswade, the country more uniformly flat, and fewer trees. Small seeds, such us onions, much cultivated about this place, which, at this season, gives the surface a remarkably lively appearance. Passed the 11th at York, in the cathedral of which di vine service was performed daily, since the death of the King. JULY 12.—Left York at 8 A.m. Crops gradually be coming worse in appearance as we proceeded, and on leav ing Northallerton beggar description—the oats in particular being of a stunted, and o f a sickly yellow colour, and not above three or four inches long in the majority of cases— barley but in ear—wheat the same—hay crops indifferent— proem of haymaking later as compared with the neigh bourhood of London—never saw such an unpromising crop of corn, peas, &c. The same appearance continued to the borders of the vale of Tweed. Arrived at Newcastle Gi F.M. Very small portion of peas and beans in this day's ride. Rains commenced in the north this day. JULY 13.—Set out from Newcastle by 8 A.M. Crops continued of the same miserable appearance to near Mor peth, about which there were some fields of tolerable pro mise, and shooting the ear : rest of the way equally back ward, as before stated, but improving in colour. At twelve miles N.W. of Morpeth, began to climb the Cheviot hills, and was soon among them. For more than twenty miles these tracts resemble the distant Scottish hills, but more generally green or grassy, and the hills more ounded. De scending the vale of Tweed, the crops greatly improved, and ma, be described us rich—the agriculture of the very best—not a weed to be seen ; whereas in England, very fre quently, the weeds were almost the only objects visible in the fields. The crops in the vale of Tweed all in ear, and peas and beans rich in blossom : potatoes and turnips much superior ; multitudes employed in their cultivation. The general condition of the crops, however, may be termed late. In ascending the higher grounds of Lammermuir, the colour of the crops good ; but of course the vegetation later than below. [N.B. The people of Newcastle seemed quite satisfied with the condition of their crops—alleging, " that a month before they did no expect to hazy any crops in the present year !•'j The turnip husbandry on the Lammermuir hills superior to any observed elsewhere. The passage over these hills is no ordinary treat : the view from the summit, both forwards and backwards, being scarcely equalled for extent and beauty in the British Islands. Arrived at Edin burgh, at 10 P.M. JULY 14.—At Edinburgh, nothing new or strange — heavy rain, thunder, and lightning during the greater part of the day. JULY 15.—Left for Perth at 8 A.M., crops luxuriant, and about Perth wonderfully so. On the Muirtown farm, north of the town, the wheat near six feet long, and yet not fully shot out : it is proportionably strong ; but much of it lodged by the heavy rains of yesterday and this day. Peas and beans breast high and strong ; oats extraordi narily heavy, and barley excellent. In short, in th! hun dred miles travelled last through Scotland, the promise of a rich crop is surpassing, and of all kinds. N.B.—From London to Newcastle, the hedges fringing the roads consisted of wild roses, hawthorns, and honey• suckles, all in bloom. To the north of Newcastle, how ever, the hedges are composed of thorns, thistles, nettles, and occasionally hemlock. Scotland should begin at New castle, where the English character begins to disappear in every respect ; at Morpeth the change is most striking, the hilly aspect becoming more and more prevalent. MODERN AUTIIOItS.-The advancement of the people and the lowering of the aristocracy have both been effected through the medium of the press. The position of authors has been much altered ; formerly we behold such men as Dryden, Otway, and many others (giants in their days), humbling themselves for bread. Now we have seldom a dedi cation, and of those few we have, the flattery is delicate. The authors look to the public as their patrons, and the aris tocracy are considered but as a part and portion of it. These remarks equally hold good with respect to the Government. Authors are not to be so easily purchased as formerly ; they prefer writing in conformity with public opinion to writing for Government, because they are better remunerated. if i t w ill be recalled to mind that in the rapid march of the people, in their assertion of their right t o a greater s h are in the government of the country, in the pointing out and cor recting of abuses, and in the breaking down of all the de gradually yield e d i n f en ce* which have SA many years, it is the the press who have led th e van, an d t h at i n h inrords the ariGtooracy have been the party t e u a continualthos r attacked—it all is no wonder that there has arisen, unwittingly perhaps on their parts , a feeling against the press and against author, in general.—New Monthly Afagazi na f or August. SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 27. The declaration of the Spanish Government and the mea sures of retaliation taken by them against the unjustifiable conduct of the King of Sardinia, has been the subject of much interest here. It is but right that E uro p e s h ou ld b e made acquainted with the bigoted and unprecedented pro ceedings of the potty and powerless cabinet of Turin against the people of Spain, and with the polluted source of all this hostility to the attainment of their liberties. It is pro bable you are already acquainted with many of the ibe p i a r r e ti n o c u t; - lire of this affair through an article, apparently authorised. which has appeared on this subject in one journals. I have reason to believe that all the facts stated in that article are strictly correct ; but all the facts of the case arc not given. Strongly as that article brings into relief the efforts of Sardinia to embarrass the constitutional struggles of Spain to regain her freedom, it does not expose to light, as should be done, the full injustice of the case, or the stupid malignity of the adviser of these injuries. Nothing, in fact, was left undone by the Liberal cabinet of Madrid to fellisien which they h ave b een a t l eng th l°easme with S ar di n i a . Whil e t h e i r consu l s i n avoidthcPetl theild country otpeo.l were refused an exequ atrtr, or recognition of their official authority, they permitted the Sardinian consuls to exercise their functieria in Spain for months with out 111114renee i of llefV4Sll - 4W to confirm the validity of the offi -011 duties performed by them. They even changed their consuls at Genoa, appealed to the friendly adjudication of a third power, but all to no purpose. In return they only received promises of giving official recognition to the Spa nish consuls if Lhasa Of Sardinia were permitted to continue the discharge of their duties in Spain. This was done for a length of time by the Spanish Government, and 41 a last resource, to bring the matter to an amicable termination, the Spanish premier, Calatrava, drew up and had presented a statement in which 1 understand the case was explained in a most able and triumphant form. This, like every other remonstrance, failed, and only produced the retire ment of the Spanish consuls and ministers from the Sar dinian states, and the closing of the ports against Spanish vessels. The real author of this hostility Is not the King of Sardinia ; but his Minister for Foreign Affairs, Saler de Margarita. This stupid and bigoted old man, it appears, has - risen from low life to be a Cabinet Mi nister, without even the qualities which usually render the vices of royal favourites necessary or formidable. What ever mischievous qualities the meanness of his education and corruption of the Court of Turin failed to endow him with, were amply supplied by an apprenticeship as Minister for Sardinia in the Court of Madrid and La Granja during the last years of the late Ferdinand's life. In this school of despotic policy he took an active part in all the intrigues and conspiracies for which it became cele brated immediately before the death of Ferdinand. A bigoted religionist, and the chosen friend of Don Carlos, he imagined that the population of Spain were deeply in love with despotism and the inquisition, and that he himself was ordained by Providence to gratify their wishes by plac ing his patron on the throne. Disappointed in his schemes, and compelled to retire from Madrid on the accession of the Liberal party to power, he brought back with him to his own country a mortal hatred to all liberal institutions ; and, as first Minister to Sardinia, has devoted himself to their persecution in every manner in his power. In this capacity lie has .been the acting agent of the European Courts for the transmission of their alms to the miscreant pauper wandering through Spain under the name of the Pretender. To Spain, however, he cannot do the slightest injury by his recent attacks on its shipping and commerce. The injury intended for that country will fall exclusively on his own, as Spain is quite independent of any advantages to be derived from commercial intercourse with Sardinia. JULY 29.—The intelligence received within the last few days has been more voluminous than important. From all the principal points of military interest, generals, governors, and alcaldes have deluged us with official communications which contain little more than new moves on the chess board of war, but without either battles or victories. From the provinces south of Madrid there is no intelligence of any importance. A new loan, in which M. Aguado is a principal, is again spoken of here. This report, together with the general conviction that the cause of the Pretender is gone, has had a slight effect on the funds to-day, the Five per Cents. modern quoting from 23 to 24. The Cortes are at present chiefly occupied in the discus sion of a project of law for the reform of the Church Estab lishment of Spain. The debates have been sufficiently numerous and animated, but present nothing of foreign in terest. Some of the zealous and no doubt pious Members o f t h e Opposition are of opinion that if this corrupt and overgrown establishment be at all touched it will bring ruin on the heads of its sacraligeous assailants. The individuals who make use of this argument commit the great and unaccountable error of forgetting that no fur ther provocation can add to the hatred and enmity which the Spanish Clergy entertain for the Cortes, and every other liberal institution. A decree abolishing the whole order could scarcely give one crozier or seapulor more to the Pretender, or enlist the feelings of the church party more ardently in his cause. The attempt at reform will at least be made, whatever the consequences may be, all the articles of the project yet discussed having been adopted. You will have seen that reports have been circulated in the French journals of an attempt having been made on the life of the Queen. There is no truth whatever in the statement. After the most diligent inquiry it has been as• certained that the piece of metal which fell into the Queen's carriage was thrown out of a window by accident. HANOVER. JULY 21.—A1l persons belonging to the higher and a well informed classes of society arc anxiously expectin g th e re sult of the present state of things. It cannot be a ma tt er of indifference whether the advantage which we have g a i ne d of a Constitution suited to the times is to be sudde n ly l os t. However imperfect the fruit may be which the C ons tit u ti on has borne during the five years of its existence, w e cannot wish to see the tree cut when the time for its p ro d uc i ng better fruit seems to be at hand. It cannot, i n d ee d, h e denied that Ernest Augustus finds a p ar ty i n th e country which unreservedly assents to hi s o pi n i ons res p ec ti ng t h e legal force of the Constituti on o f 1833. All arc not equally satisfied with th e new re l at i ons w hi c h h ave ar i sen and arc in progress in conseque nce o f th a t new Constitu tion. Many, actuated by p r ej u di ce o f bi rt h or ran k, or by self-interest, may even l ong f or a c h ange . Thi s party was already powerful und er Ki ng Willi am . I t h a d t h e chief places on th e b enc h es o f t h e O ppos i t i on i n t h e Fi rst Chamber o f the Stat es ; an d among t h e M em b ers w h o held their seats for life, P r ivy C ounc ill or V on S c h e l e was especially distinguished by hi s s y s t ema ti c oppos i t i on to the measures and propos a ls o f th e G overnmen t i n th e spiri t of the Constitution. It is well k nown th a t thi s opposition party kept up a constant cor res po n d ence , th roug h severa l of its members, with the pr esumpt i ve h e i r to t h e t h rone, the Duke of Cumb er l an d ; ma d e reports to h i m, and sent to London r e p resen t a ti ons o f t h e state of affairs according to their noti ons . A n d t h e i r can b e no doubt that their picture of th e state o f a ff a i rs here, as established by the Constituti on o f 1833 , did not a little contribute to give an unfavourabl e idea of it to th e D u k e , w h o, f rom persona l considerations, was already i n di spose d towar d s i t. I t may be l readily supposed that this party became more confident on the death of King William, and has increased in num ber since the accession of Ernest Augustus ; for how many are there who Auld turn the change of the Government to to their profit, an d h ow many persons in office rejoice in it, as holding out a prospect of bettering their condition, since it was almost certain that great changes would be made on the Duke's accession. Many persons in office, though Fri ends to the Constitution, may have judged it for their interest to change their opinions. Many of the Nobility were wholly averse to the Constitution, because it intro duces a greater equality among the citizens without re spect to birth ; the military too, in general, had the same feelings. As for the mass of the people, a great portion hopes to gai n b y t h e c h ange of Government, as the Con stitution has not yet produced any reduction of the public burdens and taxes, but has rather increased them ; and the advantages which the constitutional system promises are at present hardl y percept ib le. It is, therefore, no won d er i f the King is pop u l ar as we ll h ere i n H anover as i n th e country, and w i t h t h e mass of the people. Bes i des, many expect bette r fruits from the Government of our energetic King, than from the late Ministerial Government, which the good disposed Duke of Cambridge suffered to do as it pleased, so that the Ministers were the real rulers of the State. However reasons of political wisdom may re commend prudence in the disregard of a Con,tituticu which was in force and recognised like ours, and command that in such au undertaking, proceeding from the highest guar., ter, all forms should not be wholly overlcokod and set at nought, the Cabinet of a great German Power on whose opinion King Ernest A ug u s t us l a y s muc h s t re ss,. is said to hove4:lYlßed not t o p rocee d w ith p rec ipitation, and the King has been induced to follow this advice. Thts is the more easy as the lettors patent of the sth July have, in fact, not been officially published in the whole kingdom. Th e i r i nsert i on i n the collection o f t h e l aws is a sort of publicati on , b ut i t l i ves no 'eel force to Prolln4 PRICE sd. contrary to the Constitution. It is said the King has nr;t insisted on any further promulgation of them, on its being represented to him that the public authorities and officers might think it contrary to their consciences, on account of their oath to the existing Constitution, to execute a Royal Ordinance not signed by a responsible Minister. It is, therefore, probable that the idea of convoking the old Hanoverian estates, which the King is said to have enter , trained, will he abandoned, and that the Assembly o f t h e States, just dismissed, will be . otmiscd a f ter the king's re tura from Carlsbad, o the Royal propositions laid 76 7..5, much will depend on the spirit tat ani mates the two Chambers, whether any essential changes will be made in our Constitution.—Allgenteinc Zeitung, July 31. UNITED STATES MONEY MARKET. ( From the New York Daily Express of the 15th, 16th, and and 17th of July.) NEW YORK, Jut.v 16.—We believe that we may now safely say that there is a fair promise of a better state of things in New York. There is a great deal of money lying idle which o pitalists do not invest, because they dare not, but which, as confidence increases, they will soon put into action. The fall in the price of specie is a good indication of the state of our foreign exchanges: The promise of bountiful crops its all the states cheers every body. Indeed the crops of some of the south-western states have already came in. From the state of Mississippi there is an immense debt due to this city. Their creditors here, therefore, will read with pleasure that some of the planters in Holmes county had, on June 17, gathered fine crops of wheat, and wero preparing it for market. 'Mississipi will this year raise her own corn and wheat, and make a large portion of the provisions for which she has hitherto been dependent upon other States. Her cotton crop will not fall short of 375,000 ' bales ; this, at 10 cents. per pound, will amount to 15,000,000 dollars, which will greatly overpay her foreign debt, and go a long way towards pay ing the debt owing by the United States to England. In such a country as ours, to young, so full of life, with a soil so abundant, no action of the Government can keep us down long. We will rise in spite of it ; but if it will aid us, in a year we will be on our triumphant march again. MONEY.—'There is a large amount of funds Idle that has heretofore been employed in shaving. As this species of traffic is broken up, it is difficult for the holders to find any thing else that they can invest in that will pay a satisfac• tory profit. The banks, although they have a large amount of suspended paper, yet have idle funds they would gladly employ in business paper, which is not to be had. As one evidence of abundance of money, it can be had on Bank Post Notes at 6 and 7 per cent. per annum. Specie has declined here, and domestic exchanges are all in favour of New York. The failures in England, it is believed, will rather tend to relieve the market. Persons who have made great efforts and sacrifices to place funds in Europe will now cease to remit, at least, until exchange is more favourable. UNCURRENT MONEY.—AII our banks, three excepted, now receive at their counter all the bills of the Safety Fund Banks in this State. The plan of accomplishing this object has been long in progress, and at last is consummated. This will have a very favouraple effect. All the bills of this State are at par, and those of New England only l per cent. below. All Western bills, however, are here at a groat rate of discount. " SrEclE—ls lower here than in any other part of the United States. At New Orleans the range is between 25 and 27 cents ; here between 8 and 10 cent. There is a large amount of specie constantly coming from all parts of the country—the high rate appears to have emptied all the secret recesses and all the old stockings in the land. The rate yesterday was as follows : Askod. Offered. " American gold ll9 " Sovereigns " Five-franc pieces lo3i" " Half-dollars lO9l 109i "STOCKS.-----On the whole, Stocks are not only main tained, but have left off at a decided improvement. Bank Stock appears to be more depressed than any other descrip tion of Stock. Good railroads arc the most in favour. The impression that the United States Bank would resume specie payments is entirely at an end ; although that Insti tution has only about 300,000 dollars new issues afloat. Yet it is neither for the interest of the Bank nor the advan tage of the public that it should resume specie payments. " DOMESTIC EXCLlANGE.—Throughout NON E'igland, this State, and Lower Canada, exchanges are now pretty well regulated. This is some relief, but all the Southern and Western Exchanges are as bad as ever. At the South it is impossible to buy a bill on New York, although the Banks, many of them, haw large balances to their credit here. Exchange in all directions in favour of New York. This is favourable. " EXCHANGE : FORETGN.—BiIIs on London, by the last packet, stood at 21 to 23 per cent. premium, and on Franc.p 4 85. It is not probable that they will vary much by the next. It is thought that the failures in London will tend to lessen the demand for exchange. Those persons who are indebted to the bankers that have failed will have less motive to make sacrifices to remit, as no funds placed in London can do them any good in sustaining their credit. Since the suspension of the banks, the remittances from this country have been great. It is believed that full 4,000,000 of specie have gone, and a much larger amount of bills. The amount of cotton is greater than both, so that it is fair to conclude that at least 20,000,000 have gone forward within the last two months. This will go far to liquidate the American debt. Indeed it is now said, that three or four millions of pounds sterling is as much as we now owe England. " NEW ORLEANS, JULY 9.—The United States Bank agent has already cleared 23,000 bales of cotton for Great Britain from this port, and has at this time seven ships ' loading for the same destination. These large operations, so late in the season, on our small stock in first hands, keep prices firm, and in some instances they are a little higher for qualities over mid. fair. Yesterday we had a very general demand, and full 2,000 bales changed hands—a round lot of 500 Mississippi Liverpool mid, at 9 cents. ; a round lot of 580 Mississippi and Louisiana, fully mid. fair at 10 cts. ; fair in demand in small parcels, for remit tances, at I 1 to 111 eta. In North Alabama and Ten nessee round lots are held at 74 to 8 eta., or firsts at 10 cts., second at 7i cts., thirds at 7 cts., and fourths at 6 cts. ; our lowest quotations for any kind. Freights arc firm—the American ship Waller taken up for Liverpool at 7-16 d." LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE.—Ten days' later intelli gence, viz ,sth from London, and 7th of June, from Paris, has been received since our last, and very important it is. The tidings from America had been so unfavourdble, although the suspension of specific payments was not known, that the Bank of England had declined further aid to the three American houses, and they, with two' firms' connected with America, had suspended payment. These houses ha i kept up so long, that a large portion of their liabilities had matured and bad been paid ; the amount, therefore, to be thrown back upon this country will be comparatively small. The news has not disappointed us here ; on the contrary, it has been long expected, and its effects will not be serious. The money-market is without any change whatever. A large amount of idle capital is in bank, and is gradually finding channels for investment. Within a few days a number of merchants have appeared here from the south, and have purchased pretty freely of dry goods. The condition of the crops in all parts of the country is said to be uncommonly promising. SICILY AND NAPLES. (From the Quotidienne.) " The repugnance of the Sicilians to everything that is Neapolitan is one of the great difficulties of the Govern ment, because this national sentiment is laid hold of by bad or ambitious men in all unpleasant circumstances. In times of tranquillity the Magistrates and administrators seek to acquire popularity by preserving in Sicily en inde pendent administration, which is a great impediment to an united policy. The two Sicilies form one kingdom, and nevertheless there is at Palermo a Viceroy, surrounded by a Cotneil, Ministers, and Directors. Each country has its own treasury, custom-house, and superior court of justice ; the both are bound by the same law. The con sequence of which is that the same law may be interpreted in each differently. The least inconvenienc e o f this sys. tern is the great expense which it causes. But the true injury is, that it entails a perpetual source of quarrels and complaints. The Government is fully aware of the defect, but all its efforts to amend it arc counteracted by all that is Sicilian, from the first nobleman at Court down to the humblest clerk. 0 This desire of independence, this hatred to the Nea politan name, is still more dangerous when any grand event occurs. The people of the towns of Sicily arc always ready to follow the first who cries—' Sicily for e ver . D own w i t h the Neapolitans. Like all people of the south, the Sici lians feel violent and reason little, and thorefere it is diffi cult to foresee the consequences a any thstnrbance, The slightest error 0;1 th,e p:tq of an Administration, the least imprtkdonca eoptnitteti by a military chief, a trilling sedition eC 9,l llel a 50;lakla TeVOlti " The King is loved. The mass of the Sicilians are fat Irom desiring to dethrone him and his family ; but, if a triumplant riot should get to the extent of demaldin,g the separation of the Government of the two countries, political consequences the most grave might be the result. " The Constitution of 1812, imposed by Lord Bentinek and the force of English bayonets, has never been fortnally established. Wise men have ever seen the inherent delude of that foreign work, but it has its value in the ey:e of those whom it flatters and elevates—namely, the laWYPtis and the nobility. The nobility were not insensible to the dignity of an Upper Chamber, and the lawyers think thgt the House of Deputies must be filled by them. Theristture, when Ferdi nan d, i n 181 5, resumed the throne Naples, he contented himself with declaring that, he would net assemble the :Parliament until cew Ut o! were demanded ; and, in this state of things, it is 01'te possible that a dee claratinn of independence sbi:..old instantly follow a porniP:r movement, and that Constitution of 1812 shotik j , be again revived, " entering into a discussion on. the merits of aid Constitution it, is Sufficient to remarl:.. that the King Fertlinanki is I:,buud by acts of public turopcan law no; to pc•ralif, the existence of that Constitution in Sicily. A treaty between Austria and the Two Sicilics formally stia pulates that the two contracting Powers cannot permit, ', rl their respective States any deliberative assembly, or roodi• fication of the political institutions, without the consent of the other parties. It is evident that Austria would not permit the establishment of a Constitution at Palermo, and. to avoid complications of that nature, the Court of Napl-, s will make every effort to stifle any troubles which may break out in Sicily. " The question now is, whether the evil seh;•Ch afflicts Palermo and Messina is of a nature to give 'a s reason to fear a political separation. It must, in the first place, be observed, that a political character ;.s given to these troubles only by the Liberal papers, Extraordinary power and additionnl force have been sent to General Careta, a man of judgment, who knows - hill well the character of the people she has to deal with. If he be obliged to come to blows with the people of Palermo, it must be allowed that they have not the means of oppt.,in% a stout resistance. "The town of Palermo is cut at right angles by two streets, which divide the city into four equal parts. The garrison, which, since the emunencement of the troubles, has occupied a positio;: outside the town, is in the posses sion of the fort of Casteltnarre, so that it will be difficult for the rioters to prevent the troops from occupying the gates which lead to the four principal streets. But the great ele ment which General Caretta has in hand to put an end to the popular frrenzy is by promoting the rivalry which exists between the different Sicilian towns. Messina, always jealous of Palermo, is bound by interest to Naples. It must also be recollected that Sicily is occupied by Swiss or Neapolitan troops. There is but one Sicilian regiment re cruited in the island, and it is always in garrison, not in Sicily, but at Naples. • " Still, among a people like the Sicilians, events are hur ried on contrary to all reasoning ; and as we cannot say what may be the end of present state of things we are content with pointing out the situ ;lion of the island, for the purpose of allowing nu: readers to form an accurate judgment for themselves." The Piethrwillese Gazette of the 31st contains the fol lowing extract from the Milan Gazelle, respecting the late disturbances in Sicily.—" According to information received from an authentic source, bearing date Naples 21st, public tranquillity haS been seriously disturbed in Palermo. Par tial disorders, occasioned by the ravages of the cholera, were immediately repressed, and order soon restored ; but the inhabitants of the adjoining villages having taken arms prevented the introduction of provisions into the city, and ware even preparing to enter it for the sake of plunder. The garrison of Palermo marched out against them, de feated them, and took a number of prisoners, who were handed over to justice. Six hundred men, sent from Naples, landed near the village of La Bagaria, in spite of the resistance offered by the inhabitants. A second expe dition of troops left Naples on the 17th, for the same desti nation in order to re-establish good order in the villages that had revolted." The Augsburg Gazette, in a letter dated July 20, An nounces that 20,000 persons had died in Palermo since the first appearance of the cholera. The country people, no less terrified than those of the city, had ceased to bring pro visions into Palermo, the inhabitants of which were suffer ing from a frightful famine. The epidemy, according to the last accounts, had spread over the whole island, with the exception, however, of Messina. Every day additional troops were shipped from Naples for Sicily ; all the unoc cupied sailing vessels in the harbour had been freighted for the purpose, together with six steam-boats. It was re ported that the British flag bad been hoisted at Messina, an event which was made to coincide with the concentration of the English fleet at Malta. Prince Charles of Capua was charged with fomenting disturbances in the island. The Council of Ministers met every day, and it was believed the King of Naples would be obliged to proceed thither in per son to pacify the country. RAILROAD FROM PARIS TO ST. GERMAIN. On Sunday, the 30th ult., the railroad from Paris to St. Germain may be said to have been opened in its full extent, a train of carriages, containing the Minister of Fi nance, the Duke de Cazes, several Members of the Insti tute, and other persons of distinction, having proceeded the whole length of the road. It was, in reality, a second ex perimental journey, and there was originally no intention on the part of the directors to proceed farther than Chaton, as on the occasion of the preceding trip ; but some works, which it was at first thought would have occupied more time, having been terminated before the day expected, the directors, by way of affording an agreeable surprise to their guests, kept the secret until the party arrived at Chaton. The length of the railroad is 18,430 metres, or 4i leagues (11A- English miles), which the train passed over in 35 mi nutes, returning in 29 minutes. The greatest rapidity at which the party went was at the rate of 14 leagues an hour. Only one pair of rails has yet been finished, and it ap pears that the company intend to open the railroad to the public without waiting for the second. The railroad in Belgium, which is twice the length of that from Paris to St. Germain, has been in full activity for nearly three years, though only one pair of rails is finished. In its course the St. Germain Railroad passes under two tunnels, and along two-thirds of the line it is raised on a viaduct of the average height of from 15 to 20 feet. It crosses the Seine twice, and passes over or under no less than fifteen roads. The rails are represented to be of unusual strength, those on the Liverpool railroad weigh ing only 13 kilogrammes, %bile those on the St. Ger main weigh no less than 30. The Paris tunnel is 550 feet in length, and that of the Batignoles 960 feet. The whole of the works, as far as they have yet gone, have occupied only 18 months. The National concludes its de scription of the experiment in the following strain of extra vagance :—" All the spectators uncovered and respectfully saluted this creation of human intelligence. A number of them clapped their hands, and one woman made the sign of the cross. The alternations of noise and silence, the more or less hurried breathing of the machine, the sort of neigh ing noise which was heard, the sharp whistling sound which announced the departure or arrival of the train, might lead to a belief that it was a living being which moved, breathed, and had its own peculiar language. It sometimes makes a plaintive sound, sometimes a sound of anger, and then allows a continuous torrent of smoke to escape, or puffs into the air at equal intervals round clouds, which assume all the hues of those of the atmosphere. In its moments of calm it produces only a light vapour, and then suddenly imitates the sound of horses' hoofs, or the noise of a mill." A CIIRISTIAN LADY EMBRACING HINDOOISM. —The chotec titnee of Ralth Mittrajit Sing, was born of Christian parents ; hhtifrom the day that she was placed in the Zenana of the Rajah she Has become a perfect Ilincloo, having g;ven up the Christian mode of praying and the Christian cus toms to which she was brought up. She is in fact turned a great devotee, and her whole time and attention is absorbed in the observance of ceremonies according to the tenets of the Shastras. She lately expressed a desire to•dedicate a temple to Shiva ; and the question, whether the Shastras permitted her doing so, was pet to the pundits in the neighbourhood; but their opinion, that she could not be permitted so to do, on account of the defect in her birth, diseutisfied the convert, and at her request the Rajah sent to Benares for a number of pun. dits to settle the point. These came, and after a somewhat lengthy discussion they unanimously agreed in the opinion that there was nothing in the Shastras against her dedicating a temple to:Shiva ; but what she could not do was performing the poojah of the:. god personally. She could, however, visit the temple, keeping herself at a distance from the sacred part of it. The ranee and the rajah were well pleased with the opinion ; and the latter lost no time in ordering 10,000 for building the temple. The foundation of the temple is laid and it is expelted, in the course of a short time, to be finished. A hisbarhol- Cubbeer, Jan. 7, 1837. Ott Thursday Professor Calvert lectured at the Marylebone Institution, and Friday night concluded big course on Oratory at the Southampton-buildinposhicb, 61- interest and attraction, has not been exceeded by any tt,ing given at that Institution. The Lecture.room was densely crowded, and the expression of tumultuous delie,t which broke the profound attention, required considerable time to subside. We are compelled to say, in strictness of justice, that the Lecturer's success, however great, is quite within the measure of his merits, He unites all the requisites for this style of emine evennt ly the g g a r b e s a t t r a s e e t e i o r e n t s . o f H e x i; lectuyieg, and possesses pre olaitnlanguagineteisreisiet,naonuds. i e m le p a a r s , si a o ri n d ing peculiarly rich in metaphor— but reasoning throu g h ph ys i ca l ana inz e s 7 4 e a r sapdeect d osronfamn brilliant logic, which does not encumber, but forms rather the traesparent drapery of thought.
