ANTICIPATED ELECTIONS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Plymouth, Monday Evening, April 13. The respective friends of Lord John Russell, one of the present members for the Southern divisiOn of Devon, and of Montague Edmund N. Parker, Esq., have been to-day ac tively engaged here, and at Devouport, Stonehouse, and the adjoining seventeen parishes, canvassing the electors in favour of this nobleman and gentleman. Report states the result to be decidedly in favour of Lord John. The number of re gistered electors who poll at this place is 1,021. This after noon a placard appeared on the walls of our town, signed by a solicitor, stating that Mr. Parker having announced his in tention of becoming a candidate for the representation of this division of the county, in the event of a vacancy, the electors were thereby informed that they would be speedily waited upon, and their suffrages solicited, on Mr. Parker's behalf. Th is places it beyond a doubt that the Tories are determined to try the effect of an opposition in the event of an election. The friends of Sir George Grey, one of the present repre sentatives for Devonport, are already on the alert there and at Stonehouse, concerting measures to secure the Honourable Baronet's r2-election, should he take office under the new Go vernment. Many persons conceive it highly probable that Sir George will be appointed to some office, seeing that he held office under Lord Melbourne's Administration. Rumour as signs to Sir George the Secretaryship for the Colonies, or the Admiralty. We understand that in the event of an election taking place, Mr. Dawson will again come forward—of course under Tory auspices—to oppose Sir George's re-election. Should he do so, we have no doubt he will suffer a similar defeat to the one he experienced at the election in December last. THE COLOSSEUM.—Her Majesty, attended by Earl Howe, and accompanied by Prince George of Cam bridge, Earl and Countess of Denbigh, and a numerous suite visited the Colosseum and the new grand scenery at that esta blishment yesterday previously to the opening of the latter to the public this day. Among the company invited to dine this day with the Duke of Sussex, at his apartments, Kensington Palace, are—Earls Grey and Carlisle, Marquis of Lansdowne, Lords Melbourne and Holland, and about ten other Noblemen and Gentlemen included in the last Melbourne Ministry. The health of Prince Talleyrand, who is rustica ting at Rochecote, improves considerably ; he is at present occupied in dictating his memoirs to his nephew, the Marquis of Perigord, a young Marine-officer.—Cabinet de Lecture. We are sorry that we cannot report any material improvement in the health of Michael Thomas Sadler, Esq. ; though from the time that has elapsed his friends would fain hope that he is out of danger. At the marriage of Lord John Russell, on the 11th inst., an accident took place which threw a shade over many a fair face in the bridal group. After the bridegroom had placed the ring, in the customary manner, on the finger of his bride, immediately on her Ladyship's withdrawing her hand, the ring fell to the ground! It was remarked that the cheek of the lady was deadly pale as the Noble Lord replaced the mystic symbol on her hand.—Morning Paper. The Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell, a son of the Duke of Bedford, has resigned the valuable living of Streatham in the county of Surrey, from conscientious motives, not ap proving of pluralities. His Lordship reta ins the living of Chenies, though comparatively of small value. The Duke who is patron, has presented the living of Streatham to the Rev. Mr. Blunt, of Chelsea. The Duke of Sussex having had a conversation with G. Byng, Esq., M.P., respecting the operation per formed on the eyes of the latter by Mr. Guthrie, in removing the cataracts, Mr. Byng described minutely every particular relating to the operation, the very short time in which it was performed, and the very little pain he suffered. The Duke sent for Mr. Guthrie to consult with him, and should he per form the operation, it will probably take place in the course of the ensuing month. Lady Byron, widow of the Noble poet, has broken up her establishment at her pleasant villa called Henger Wood, near Acton, preparatory to her departure with her accom plished daughter, the Hon. Ada Augusta Byron, on a tour for the summer in France and Italy. Lord Arthur Lennox accompanies Sir Robert Berkeley, who is about to proceed in a short time to the lonian • Islands, in the capacity of Secretary. Lord Southampton has purchased the late elegant mansion of Mr. C. Arbuthnot, in Carlton-gardens. His Lordship is to have the stables of the Duke of Leinster on the terrace, it not being the intention of his Grace to visit the metropolis during the present season. His Lordship left Carl ton-gardens on Monday for Northamptonshire. KEAN'S STATUE.—It has been determined to place this statue in the hall of Drury-lane Theatre, near the statue of Shakspeare ; the statue to be considered under all circumstances the property of the Committee, and the public to have free access to it when the box-office and theatre are open for public business. The statue will be open to the pub lic about the end of June, when it is intended to celebrate the event by a public dinner. MONUMENT OF THE LATE BARON CUVIER.- The Committee for the management of the funds appropriated to this monument, have received 238 works, French and Eng lish, which are to be sold for the benefit of the undertaking. CERVANTES.-The celebrated sculptor, Antonio Sola, director of the Spanish Academy at Rome, has just com pleted a bronze statue of Michael Cervantes, which is to be placed in the square of Santa Catalina, at Madrid, opposite the Chamber of Procuradores. THE DEBATE ON THE IRISH CHURCH ( From Mr. Cobbett's Register.)—" I mentioned before the fine speeches'of Lord Howick, Mr. Gladstone, and the Soli citor-General, to which I have now to add that of Mr. Ser geant Wilde. Indeed, the whole of the debate was conducted with very great talent ; and, though Sir Robert Peel, before I was in Parliatient, did praise Denman f for his manly con duct in prosecuting Cobbett,' I will say here of him that I do not believe that Pitt, under similar circumstances, would have displayed anything like the intellectual resources which were displayed by the Minister upon this occasion ; divested of all considerations as to the result I was filled w ith admiration as to the exertions he was able to make at the end of a four-nights' debate ; and under such an accumulation of attacks, and with the certainty of defeat before his eyes." THE EDINBURGH ANTI-TORY ADDRESS.—The address and petition agreed to at the public meeting on Thurs day, have severally been subscribed by 13,454 individuals ; each measures 546 feet of signatures, and they were only in course of signature for one day. They would have been much more numerously subscribed but for the news of yesterday, which prevented many of the inhabitants from coming forward, as they considered it then unnecessary. The signatures, how ever, on this occasion are more than were ever obtained within an equally short period.—Caledonian Mercury. TRAVELS IN THE HOLY LAND.—One of the most appropriate and delightful works which can be perused at the present season, and which it is impossible to recommend too often or too strongly to general attention, is Mr. Carne's " Letters from the East," written during his Tour through Egypt, Arabia, the Holy Land, Syria, and Greece. This work is rendered peculiarly valuable by its graphic descrip tions, written on the spot, of the present actual state of the places which have been the theatres of the great events re corded in the Bible. Thus, we read of the wild country around Mount Sinai—of the scene of the miraculous passage of the Red Sea—of Mount Carmel—of Jerusalem, with its Mounts of Olive and Calvary, and its Valley of Jehoshaphat—of the Holy Sepulchre—of the Garden of Gethsemane—of Damas cus, the most ancient city . of the world—of the Cave in which Abraham and Isaac were interred—of the forlorn Shores of the Dead Sea—and of other scenes which the inspired Writings have fixed for life in the heart of every Christian. Lieutenant-Colonel Badcock is on the eve of pub lishing a narrative of his sojourn in Spain and Portugal, dur ing the recent civil war which desolated the latter country. The position which the Colonel held was a very hazardous and difficult one, inasmuch as he was commissioned by the British Government to keep a wary eye on the proceedings of the belligerent parties. While in Spain the jealousy of the authorities subjected him to every possible inconvenience, not to say danger ; but in Portugal he was hospitably entertained, and enjoyed the confidence and personal friendship of the late Emperor, Don Pedro, of whom he relates many curious anec dotes. Colonel Badcock resided at Oporto during the whole of the fearful siege of that city ; the details of which he has given with graphic minuteness and truth. His narrative will accordingly be a valuable addition to modern history. The House of Commons' Committee on printed papers, in their report recommend that the whole number of copies of the statutes for promulgation be printed of one uni form (royal octavo) size, and to be distributed to Members by the Vote Office, as the Parliamentary Papers now are, as soon after the completion of each sheet as possible. The remainder of the old mews, Trafalgar-square, is to be removed without further delay, to make room for the centre -of the new National Gallery, and yesterday several men were employed unroofing the mews preparatory to the building being finally rased. Within the last century there has been but one con firmation at Howden, in Yorkshire. There can now be scarcely any doubt that the Bank operation of selling Exchequer Bills is renewed, though great interest in are taken to conceal the fact fr om the monied in general. If the measure is directed, which is commonly supposed to be the case, against the large transactions winch are now taking place in the Foreign Funds, it is likely never theless to fail in its object, and wil l probably convey to the public a very different notion of the real power of the Bank in such cases from, that which is usually entertained. The credit of foreign countries, now that its principles begin to be more generally understood, is acquiring much greater fa vour on this Exchange, and many of the old steady banking houses of the city, who used to keep wholly aloof from such transactions, engage largely in them. This confidence once established, whether on just grounds or otherwise, and we think that in some of the foreign loans there are still strong grounds for caution, the deposits of such houses in the Bank will be freely drawn upon, and the favourite speculation of the day well supported under a rise in ,the rate of interest, which has usually been fatal to such operations. All the effect of the Bank sales of Exchequer Bills, therefore, will be that of drawing forth their deposits, from whence an abundant supply can be obtained in spite of all efforts to prevent it. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1835. COURT CIRCULAR. The King gave audiences yesterday to Lord Skalmersdale, Lord Kenyon, and Baron d'Ompteda, the Hanoverian Minister.

In compliance with superior orders, I proceed to communi cate to the public what I have heard, and what I personally observed, respecting the disease which has deprived us of the precious life of his Royal Highness the Prince Don Augustus, in the flower of his age. Being summoned on Wednesday, the 25th instant, to the Palace, and conducted to the Prince's chamber, I found there surgeon Mandel Carlos Teixeira. It was evening—the Prince had fever, and the throat presented much rubor diffused over the columns of the velum palati and tonsillar follicules. There was some swelling, and deglutition was impeded. It was ne cessary that I should avail myself of information from the at tendant. I then learned that on the 20th the Prince com plained of a sore throat, as also on the following day, and that on the 22d (the third day of his indisposition) he went out to hunt in the damp air of the morning, and that being distressed by the heat, agitation, or fever, he uncovered his throat, which was the seat of the inflammation. The atten dant added, that on the same day the Prince remained for some hours in an open field, under a burning sun, blackened by the heat, and involved in a dense cloud of dust, this drink ing by large draughts the death by which he was in a few days prostrated. On the 23d, about noon, the fourth day after the com mencement of the indisposition, his Royal Highness consulted the surgeon of the Chamber, Manoel Carlos Teixeira. A tonsillar angina was then apparent, but it was not of a very serious character. An inflammatory malady required antiphlogistic treatment. Accordingly, recourse was had to bleeding, general and local, emollient cataplasms, diluent drinks, and a corresponding diet. The practice promised well, for the next day (the heftfth of the indisposition) was favourable and flattering to attendant. All the inflammatory symptoms appeared to be mitigated. The 25th was the sixth day of the indisposition, and the first o f my attendance, at an advanced period of the evening. I examined the Prince, and observed, as has already been said, the symptoms which characterize a tonsillar quinsy. The disease had been regularly treated. Instructed by the preceding history of the case, I became aware that the inflam mation, spreading itself more towards the posterior part of the mouth, had descended the pharynx, as might have been suspected from the difficulty of deglutition, which was greater than the visible inflammation ought to have induced. I cha racterized the disease angina pharyngea. I soon feared that the inflammation would descend the tracheal canal, and pro duce the angina polyposa of Michel. Meanwhile the respi ration was free, and the natural sound was observed to be un altered. A prudent apprehension was then every thing. I adhered to the antiphlogistic treatment. I repeated the local bleeding ; the emollient cataplasm was continued to be applied to the throat ; the vapour of infusions of emollient flowers was inhaled by the mouth ; the inferior extremities were' inserted in sinapized baths ; the bowels were relieved by clysters. This course of treatment was followed during the whole of the following day (the seventh of the indisposi tion, and second of my attendance), allowing time for the in fluence of the remedies to be manifested. On the Friday there appeared for the first time an expecto ration of concrete albumious matter, spread out in the form of a membrane. (This was the eighth day of the indisposition, and the third of my attendance.) The symptoms, though still insulated, were alarming, par ticularly to one who was inclined to be cautious. I proposed a consultation. Her Majesty nominated from among the Phy sicians of the Chamber, Doctors Baeta and Elias da Silveira. Being assembled, and having heard the history of the case, the members of the faculty unanimously declared it angina laryngea; that its course was the propagation of the inflamma tion by the mucosa pharyngea, and ultimately by the tracheal tube and the baronchial ramifications - that the prognostic was fatal • that the treatment no w consisted in taking a small quan tity Of blood from the patient, and it was allowed to be general, though with the fingers on the pulse, and that this should be followed by caustics. This practice was observed. On the 28th of March, the following day, and the ninth of the indisposition, the above physicians met, with the addition of Dr. Benevides, who attended' on the Prince during the night. The decision was unanimous—Angina laryngea, or polyposa of Michel, or suffocatio stridula of Dr. Home, or the English croup. Being informed of his state, and provided with all the sacraments, the pure soul of the Prince ascended to the dwelling of the just. More amplitude was due to the importance of the subject. However, relying on the very minute and authentic autopsical evidence, I presume that what is here stated will be found sufficient for the faculty, a-aid more than may be required by the curious. Dr. FRANCISCO JOSE DE ALMEIDA, Physician of the Chamber to her Majesty. Lisbon, March 31, 1835. ROMANTIC CHALLENGE in theNORTH OF SPAIN. The following letters supply details relative to the ro mantic challenge sent by the General of the cavalry of Don Carlos to Brigadier I\qareisse Lopez, commandant of the division of La Ribera„who has accepted it. The latter, passing th r o u gh Sesma, ou the 17th of March, received the following letter : " The cavalry of the army of Don Carlos ardently desires the opportunity of measuring itself with that of Donna Maria Christina ; but as combats are generally the accident of position, ttnequal, either from or from the number of combatants, we, the Chiefs of the two parties. ties, have it in our power, like the Knights of ancient times, to choose an equal number of soldier s and decide the issue solely by valour with sword in hand. For my part I swear upon my honour; to have under my orders only the number of men agreed upon, and I trust my antagonist will do the same. I salute all the numerous friends and companions whom I pos sess in the Christine army, and I wish them all kinds of pros perii,- gave in open fight, for I know no enemies except upon the field of battle. " CARLOS LOUTS O'DONNELL." Brigadier Lopez replied in the following terms : " TO DON CARI.OS LOUIS O 'DONNELL. " The cavalry of the army- of operation of Isabe lla 11. will feel the g rea t es t pleasure in measuring swords with that of Don Carlo s . The chief in command of the cavalry conceives that the letter left at Sesnla is a boast on the part of young men, doubtlessly animated by good inten tions, and he is con firmed in this idea by experjerkce, which has convinced him of DINNER to the DUKE of GORDON. Yesterday, Colonel Keate and the officers of the second bat- I talion of Scots Fusileer Guards , quartered in the Tow er, g ave an elegant entertainment to their Colonel, the Duke of Gordon. The mess-room in the Tower has at all times been con sidered by the officers of the regiments doing duty there to be too small for the purpose of entertaining themselves and friends ; but the short stay of each on duty has prevented any one particular regiment from petitioning the Government upon the subject. The original apartments of the officers in the gar rison are commodious and airy, being situated on the terrace, and at present occupied by the clerks of the Ordnance-office, the principals of which department are opposed to surrendering their possession to those to whom by right they belong. The room, which at present is appropriated to the officers, is small and inconvenient, situate directly under the state prison where Anne Buleyn, and many others have been confined, from the window of this chamber that unfortunate Queen saw the scaffold for her execution erected. It is shown to strangers, particularly foreign visitors, in its pristine state, the walls of which are covered with many a tale of woe, in verse and prose. The mess-room is directly under this, and is so confined that only twenty persons can conveniently sit down to dinner, on this account many could not be invited to meet his Grace. The whole of the officers of the regiment were desirous of tes tifying their respect for their new Colonel, by being present, but were precluded by this very circumstance. Colonel Keate, Lieutenant-Colonels Colville, Berkeley, Drummond, Stanton, Montague, and Mercier, with the officers on duty, ten in number, were the only persons present to receive the Duke of Gordon, who arrived a little before seven o'clock, when the dinner was served up under the direction of the messman, Mr. Henson, and considering the inconvenience of the situation, &c., we must confess it would have done credit to an entertainment given upon a more magnificent scale. Many loyal toasts were given and drank, and the evening passed off with much conviviality. His Grace retired at an early hour, and expressed himself in the most gracious manner at the satisfaction he felt in his reception, having first directed that ten pounds should be distributed among the band.

The undersigned believes that his General Com manding in Chief will permit him to accept this noble chal lenge ; and confiding in this hope, he declares upon his word to Don Carlos Louis O'Donnell, that he will punctually re pair to the spot indicated ; and as the challenger has under his orders fewer cavalry than the, challenged, he begs him to name the number which the former will bring with him, per suaded that the troops of her Majesty will appear with a hun dred horsemen less. The officers of this division, who were comrades with the Commander to whom this lettef is ad dressed, salute him, and desire the opportunity of showing him that they are well worthy of the esteem of their friends and of their enemies. _ " NARCISSE LOPEZ." Brigadier Lopez, in consequence, addressed his troops to he following effect : " ORDER OF THE DAY OF THE 18TH OF MARCH. " The Commandant-General of the Rebel Cavalry has transmitted me a letter, which I now publish. I have the honour to have under my command soldiers whose discipline and love of fighting may serve as an example to the military world, and convinced of their desires, I have considered it an act of duty to reply, without consulting their wishes, that I feel ever disposed to brave the greatest danger. Soldiers, if the enemy has the presumption to imagine that he can meet you in combat, you will give a day of glory to your country— you will fulfil your promises with honour, and march to the field of victory with a hundred men fewer than your oppo nents. Happy is he who procures so favourable an opportu nity for celebrating his courage, and rendering his name eter nal. I wait only to learn the spot fixed upon for this duel to lead you to the fight ; death is a noble recompence for him who feels that Spanish blood flows in his veins. If the rebels have the imprudence to appear before you, you will render the name of the cavalry of Isabella 11. immortal, and for ever assuro the triumph of our August Queen and the liberty of our country. As the leader in this romantic duel, you will see your Commandant-General, Narcisse Lopez." By a letter from Brigadier Lopez, dated the 24th of March, we learn that the place of combat has not yet been pointed out to him. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 13iLvoin CASTLE.—The Melton hounds came over to hunt at Belvoir on Friday, when the beauty of the weather and the great number of sportsmen and fine horses assembled rendered the scene one of the most captivating imaginable. About noon the Duke of Rutland's carriage, drawn by four splendid horses and filled with ladies, arrived at the place of rendezvous, when the chace commenced. In the course of three hours two foxes were run into and killed most gallantly, and a third escaped. Namick Pacha and his Secretary, who in the field seemed to enjoy the sport exceedingly, managed to be in at the death. Amongst the visitors were the Earl and Countess of Ches terfield, Lady Emeline Wortley, Lord Granby, Lord R. Man ners, and Lord Rokeby. Amongst the spectators of the hunt was Madame Caradori, who on her way from the York concerts had been staying at Belvoir Castle, and who after dinner delighted a large party of distinguished persons by singing some of her most charming ballads, romances, and airs.

As this is the season when Emigrants to the Canadas are taking their departure, the following extract of a letter from Dr. Wilson, late of Ripon, in Yorkshire, now settled in the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada, may be useful to them : MASSAWIPPI COTTAGE, LENNOXVILLE, EASTERN TOWNSHIPS, LOWER CANADA, AUGUST 30, 1834. " I am glad to learn from you, that the little information respecting this country, conveyed by my letters, has been acceptable to those interested in the subject of emigration. I do greatly wish to be useful in a cause so important to the people of Great Britain. The British American Land Company have made great purchases in these Eastern Townships. I suppose they have not less than a million of acres. They seem to have employed this season in sur veying and exploring the country. I have endeavoured to do something for their defence, by shewing that by their means a a work will be accomplished of great public utility, which could never be effected by individual enterprise, and that it is only by the powerful machinery of a chartered company, by the combination of talent, information, energy, and capi tal, that a vast tract of excellent land, now a dense forest, can be rendered fit for the use of a British population. In order to sell their lands, they must render them accessible and available to individual purchasers, by cutting roads, building bridges, constructing mills, and performing other works for public convenience, which private persons feel no inducements to undertake. " I wish to impress upon the minds of people in England, who are desirous of rendering this part of Canada as useful to British population as it is fitted by nature to be, that every effort to establish here a thriving community will fail, without the influx of capital. The indefatigable natives of the United States, who first settled in this part of the country, have already expended on it a large amount of mere labour. If persons were here having moderate capital, and not inclined for large speculations, who would be satisfied to possess such a portion of land as they could easily pay for, retaining at command a supply sufficient to pay the labour of improvement, and to purchase such ne cessaries as the soil does not yield, they might be happy themselves, and the occasion of happiness to an industrious people. Such a class is greatly required in the present con dition of this country. Emigrants of this description would find their own means of living greatly improved. With rea sonable desires they would here find a place suited to their means, affording no luxuries, but every requisite of health ful existence. If capital were thus introduced, and labour rewarded in money, the various departments of industry would be kept more distinct—the classes of ,producer and consumer would be well defined—markets would be established where the mechanic, or other labourer, would meet the farmer and give him in cash a fair price for his surplus produce. I hope that-the - Land Company are well informed on these matters. Upon their measures will depend the fate of a district, having almost every na tural advantage, partially occupied by as industrious, tem perate, and intelligent people, who have won it by excessive labour, and brought it from a state of nature to a point of improvement, not to be passed without the stimulus of ca pital. " We are now comfortably settled upon the farm which I mentioned in my last ; I entered it in the beginning of March, but as the house required great alterations and re pairs, I left my family at Sherbrooke, and went tp super intend the workmen. It was ready for occupation in the middle of May, when my family found a home which greatly delighted them. It is indeed a lovely scene. My cottage fronts the west, and on this and the southern aspect, I have built verandahs. Here my little ones enjoy a shade or a shelter in the open air, as the sun, wind, rain, or snow, prevail ; and here, how greatly should I enjoy the society of my good English friends ! Our site is a dry knoll de scending in every direction except the north, where it rises to a height sufficient to shelter us. The river flows at the foot. On the other side the Massawippi, where is the greater half of my land, there is a gentle rise of fifty acres, from thirty of which the forest has been removed. The surface then becomes steep, and terminates in the summit of a mountain range, having an outline of most beautiful un dulation. The face of this mountain is in a state of nature, covered with a dense mass of maple trees, which yield me sugar. A good public road, leading directly into the United States, passes between my house and the river. On all sides of us are farms having a fourth or a third part cleared, occupied chiefly by Americans. We have six cows giving milk and three others, a yoke of fine oxen, a pair of horses, and a dozen sheep and their lambs. We have got above twenty tons of hay, and a few days ago we put the first sickle into our wheat. We have also pota toes, oats, turnips, and a little barley. Our garden, which occupies the slope from the house, towards the south-west, has supplied us well with pens, cucumbers, and other vege tables, and promises some fine melons. In a country Fist emerging from the wilderness the people are more engaged in producing the things which sustain life than in adding to its enjoyments ; little attention has therefore been given to the niceties of gardening, and no good fruit has yet been raised. Good English seeds of all descriptions are therefore valuable here. You kindly say that you wish to send me some. Any thing of this kind should be sent by the ships —ta r ..,.,-,- .' t for Quebec to the care of Mr. H. Your obliginciupply of newspapers reaches me at no expense, Aso an occasional number of the Leeds Mercury from my fritty&Xr. " I have just met with two Scotch gentleviiijrcio . king cat,••• - •• for land, and a note received this morning fromrtfria l lisWri \‘ '. Sherbrooke, says—' They have been induced to visit tfitke t part of the country by the recommendations contained in . your letters to your friends in England. They have one, „ copy only ; and as soon as our villagers saw it, they seized. hold of it, took a manuscript copy of it, and are getting it *. reprinted.' These are probably the extracts which you said were taken by Captain G—. We have this year additional reason to congratulate ourselves on the salubrity of the country we have chosen. The cholera, which seems to have been imported, has severely attacked almost every part of these provinces, except the eastern townships. The destruction of life in the cities of Quebec, Montreal, King ston, and Toronto, has been great. One case has never yet appeared here. " I have just had the satisfaction of half an hour's con versation with his Excellency Lord Aylmer, Governor of the Canadas. I am much pleased to find that he takes what I think a correct view of the condition of the eastern town ships. He is delighted with this country, and says that it resembles the most beautiful parts of England more than any other portion of Canada. A gentleman from England remarked to me the other day, that our valley (the Mas sawippi) reminded him of Wharf-dale in Yorkshire." IMPROPER USE OF DOGS. Our attention has been called to a subject which, though apparently trivial, is of much deeper importance than will be supposed upon the first mention of it ; we allude to the very general employment of dogs as animals of draught by itinerant dealers—bakers, costermongers, coal venderE, and the tribe of idle vagabonds, who, caring Lass about cru elty than their own convenience, are pleased to prefer dog cart luxuries to the wholesome labour of walking. The summer months are fast approaching, and unless some steps are taken to interdict this pernicious system, public danger and private distress to an alarming extent may be the con sequences. The dog is a rabid animal, and under the influences of heat, thirst, improper exercise and irritation, such a degree of cerebral excitement may be induced as to originate the frightful disease of canine madness. It is evident from the organic structure of the creature that it ought not to be employed for such a purpose. It is not provided with the power of cutaneous perspiration, the secretions from the tongue and mouth being only a local substitute for that common consequence of increased circulation of the blood, and the violent compensating action of the lungs, as exhi bited by the gasping and inordinate respiration of the animal when over-wrought, cannot have a very sedative tendency on the nervous powers ; its feet being unprotected by any natural defence are manifestly unfitted to act under heavy pressure, for whether the weight be carried or drawn, the pressure is of course the same. Moreover, its latent ferocity is elicited by undue labour, which renders it especially dan gerous of employment. It seems, therefore, both cruel to the animal to subject it to a use which nature certainly never designed it ; and unsafe to ourselves to risk the esta blishment of a malady communicable to man. Human labour, God knows, is just now cheap enough and abundant enough to render it quite impolitic that recourse should be be had to the gratuitous assistance of dogs, and the public health is not to be endangered for the private advantage or the personal convenience of petty penurious dealers, and the indolent vagabonds with whom the practice prevails. Acts of great cruelty may be daily witnessed (particu larly about the suburban parts of London) towards these poor animals by their owners. The size or species of the creature never appears to be considered with relation to the weight it is made to draw ; little or weak, so that it can be procured, it is of no consequence ; the owner has no inte rest in economising its labour or in providing sufficient sus tenance to maintain it in good condition, because as soon as one dog is starved or wrought to death he is able to get another, on pretty much the same cheap terms as those by which he acquired his equivocal property in the first. Un restrained therefore by law, humanity, or expediency, he is enabled to indulge his convenience or tyranny to the full extent of his inclination, and the chastisement which these dogs consequently receive in kicks and flogging is often most wantonly and cruelly inflicted. During all hours of the day, particularly in the evening, they are to be met with dragging their owners through the streets, who by hoarse and incessant cries urge the tired animals along to the top of their speed,—a punishment of itself sufficiently severe if we may judge from the strained eye-balls and the short spasmodic bark by which they indicate the painfulness of the efforts, without any other infliction. Such a spectacle may amuse gaping children, but its unforbidden occurrence is a disgrace to the laws of a civilised country. If Sir Andrew Agnew or Mr. Poulter would abandon their silly Sabbath Bills and take up this matter, they might lessen a prodigious amount of physical suffering, and protect the public from a formidable danger ; it would be equally ho nourable to their own feelings, and far more profitable in its results than their present undertaking promises to be. TIIE NEW DINNER TABLE DIRECTORY.—AS every one is more or less interested in the subject of good cheer, combined with economy, we may congratulate the pub lic generally on the appearance of the new and cheap edition of " The Lady's Own Cookery Book." The Receipts com posing this volume have been - collected under peculiarly fa vourable circumstances by a Lady of distinction, whose pro. ductions in the lighter departments of literature entitle her to a place among the most successful writers of the present day. Moving in the first circles of rank and fashion, her associa tions have qualified her to furnish directions adapted to the manners and taste of the most refined luxury ; whilst long and attentive observation and the communications of an exten sive acquaintance, have enabled her equally to accommodate theni to the use of persons of less ample means and of simpler and more economical habits. Mr. GALT'S BOAT.—In the picture of " Acis and Galatea," by Raphael, there is a representation of a boat with paddles exactly similar to those of our steamers, which also ap pear to have been moved by machinery in the inside of the vessel. Mr. Galt has, for some time, been attempting to make a boat like that in the picture ; but being, from want of loco motion, obliged to instruct a carpenter verbally, he has only last week accomplished his object. He has, however, suc ceeded, and has made a paddle-boat like the painter's, capable of going on rivers, canals, and across ferries, on the same principle as a spinning wheel, and he intends shortly to make it public. A much more curious invention, however, has been the result, which self-defence obliges him to disclose a little prematurely, the carpenter having inadvertently spoken of it to a millwright. It is a vessel that sails against the wind, or at least 350 degrees out of the 360 degrees of the circle, the wind being the moving power. It is nearly the same as the steam boat, but depending on the wind, is not so fit for punctuality. These curious machines are reduced to the smallest number possible of wheels. We have seen them both, and understand that they are soon to be made public. Till Saturday, no other person except the carpenter and Mr. Galt's servant were ac quainted with the experiments.—Greenock Advertiser. JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU.—A statue in bronze, by Pradier, a countryman of Rousseau, has been placed with great pomp in the city of Geneva. It is seven feet high above the pedestal, and has been the result of a subscription, among the contributors to which we see the names of many clergy men.—Athenceuni. _ _ THE FEMALE SAILOR.—This eccentric individual arrived in Donegal by the Derry mail on Friday last. As soon as it was understood who she was, a vast crowd collected to see her ; but the sailor hurried to the house of her sister, in the Back-lane, where she remains at present , we believe. We were fortunate enough to have seen the young woman, and certainly consider her admirably adapted to personate a sailor. She is of a dark, swarthy complexion, of the middle•size, and stoutly built. She gave us a full account of her romantic his tory as a sailor. She is now quite tired of the sea ; she says she would not again join it for 5001. a-year, as it is the most wretched life imaginable. She says she was offered 5001. to appear at the theatre in Liverpool for six nights, but she de clined the offer. Upwards of 3,000 copies of her likeness have been sold. While on the coach she frequently forgot herself, and, when the horses became restiff, called to the driver to " mind the helm"—to " steer right"—to " haul that chain," Stc. Her family sailed from this port for Quebec, in the May flower, about four years ago. She says she will never marry. —Ballysliannon Herald. MURDER.—On Friday week a ,young mason lad belonging to Biggar, travelling in the neighbouring parish of Carmichael, went into an alehouse at Ridgeside colliery and had some liquor. Four suspicious-looking strangers came in and had drink also. In the course of the evening the mason happened to make an uncalled-for display of a parcel of bank notes, but nothing further of a particular nature took place, and he soon left the house to proceed on his journey. Next morning, when the colliers went to begin their work, they were surprised and shocked at finding the mangled and lifeless body of the mason lying at the bottom of the pit. An alarm having been given through the neighbourhood, and an exa mination made by the authorities, it was found that the money was missing from the lad's pocket, as was also his watch ; and the four strangers, apparently Englishmen, have been appre hended and lodged in Lanark gaol, en suspicion of being guilty of both the robbery and murder.

AFFECTING CIRCUNISTANCE.—Iburing the severe storm of the 31st of March last, two young persons, named Thomas Maclennan and Murdo Cross, residing at Achdete, son, Rosa-shire, lost their lives. Maclennan, the elder of the two, who was a robust, spirited lad, had ocelsion to traverse the bleak range of mountains which forms the western boun dary of that parish, and at the request of his younger compa- Ilion's father, took charge of his fellow sufferer on their return home, a distance of several miles. Two days afterwards, their hodies were found locked in each other's arms, stretched on the lonely moor, and wrapped in Maclennan's plaid. There is every reason to believe that the latter exhausted himself in carrying his weaker companion, and, unwilling to abandon him, with an excess of generosity, sacrificed his own life, in his attempt to save that of his friend. This mournful event has awakened the deepest sympathy throughout the surroun ing district, where Maclennan was very generally esteemed.— Inverness Courier.
