" These keys are extremely well executed. With a se ries of such we have no hesitation in saying that a person, by reading two hours a day regularly, may attain a compe tent knowledge of any European language in six months, without encountering the irksome toil which renders the study of a foreign language in the usual way so repulsive. By the same process, we think as much Latin sniglst be taught to a boy in two years as is now taught in five."— Scotsman. We know of no books so well adapted for rapidly com •municating a knowledge of language as these. The re marks which preface the Double Translation of Cicero's most beautiful work, really convey more information to the pupil than many whole grammars ; and the Transla tions themselves, both the free and the literal one, are exe cuted with very great ability.

CATTLE MARI:RT.—The show to-day consisted of 321 head of cattle, viz., 234 three-years-olds and upwards ; 22 two-years-olds ; 31 highlanders ; 26 queys, and 8 cows. The heavy cattle were a fine show, indeed by far the best we have seen this season, and consisted of Runts, Galloways, and Irishers. Dealing, although no better in point of prices, was much brisker, and the Sands were cleared at an earlier bonr than usual. We believe the prices of those which took the market were as follows— viz., for 50 Galloways, N. 10s. per head: 20 ditto, Si. ; 15 ditto, 81. ; 10 ditto, 8/. ;- 10 ditto, 71. 10s. ; 20 heifers, 71. 10s. ; 10 highlanders, Si. 10s. and 10 twd years•olds, 4/. A lot of 100 Angusshire runts, by far the best in the market, which we heard estimated at 13/. per head, were driven off unsold. We heard of no tran sactions in the Irishers, .ani few sales took place in the cows. Pow: MAIIKET.-Our supply of pork this week did not exceed SO carts, which was all speedily sold off at from 55.9 d. to 6s. id. for superior pork, and from 58.2 d. to 50.9 d. for inferior perk. Although the market was considered brisk, prices were not so high as they were this ,day week, but we heard this attributed to the limited at tendance of dealers, only two or three being in th e market. _ . LIVE P1G5...—.1 carts ; the demand teas pretty fair, but little business was done from the high prices. ANNAN.—ApriI 3. We bad a very thin bacon market to-day, the small quantity which was exhibited for sale is not worth men tioning; eggs sold at 4d. to sd. per dozen ; butter at Is. per lb.; hens at 2s. to 2s. 6d. per couple; potatoes were retailed at the rate of is. 4d. per cwt. There were bui; few live pigs in the market. and of an inferior quality; the holders were asking 13s. to 15s. each for pigs of or about eight weeks old. That frying proof of the mutability of fortune, Colonel GUSTAFFSON, has been resident lately at Aix •la- Chapelle, where he lived in the utmost retirement ; but has just left that city fir Holland. He travels generally in the diligence, without rendering himself even there pro minent to 'the attention of such persons as accidentally travel with him. It is melancholy to contrast things as they are, with the animated description given of the youth ful Royal pair of Sweden, by Sir ROBERT KER. PORTER, when he visited Stockholm. I have very frequently seen her late MAJEsrY in her frequent visits to Switzerland ; and the last time I beheld her (but a very short period be fore her death), I was much struck with " t h e d ar k eye in wom an ," who s e lustre neither years nor reverses had tended to diminish, and which was formerly, if I remember well, so much praised by Sir ROBERT PORTEA. There was one trait in her character which did h er h onour , and Co u ld not b ut exc i te admiration. Whenever she passed through the ancient but small town of Mondon, in the Pays de Vaud, in her frequent visits to Lausanne, she was accustomed to quit her attendants, for the purpose of visiting the public cemetery, where she remained some time alone and uninterrupted ; and, on her return, her coun tenance betrayed the melancholy feelings which possessed her. It was over the humble and modest grave of Made moiselle DaRNELLIE, who bad had the care of her youth, that she gave vent to her sorrow, and testified that neither a throne, nor what is even more pernicious in that regard than the throne itself--adversity—had cm rupted her heart. ..—Letter from the Continent, Note.—The Licenses granted in Towns and Cities, ex cept London, cannot be distinguished from ethers. II might be made up for the last year, only by reference to the several Collectors ; but this would occasion very con siderable delay. J. EWBANK, Gen.-Accountant.

()hied the tran spoOrtl, No. Sunday —, which— day had o previouPly f received on board the part of the regiment to whi c h I b e l onged, and which, with the remainder on bo ar d another the - ship, were ordered to Halifax Ltd Bermuda, to re inforce the garrisons of those places. In the former my lot was to be cast for the term of three tedious Years, but I heard with satisfaction that our com mander had received orders to call at Bermuda to land some men and military stores, which would afford me the long desired opportunity of satisfying myself of the beauty of these isles of which I had so often heard. We sailed from the Downs with a fair wind, which soon left little of our native land in view, and that little scarcely distinguishable from the adjoining ocean. The scenes of a soldier's life are so constantly and quickly changed, that his affec tions, unlike those of persons following more peace able professions, are not suffered to concentrate on Any particular spot. Therefore, I shall not be ac ctisecf of want of feeling, when I say that neither myself or fellow-passengers exhibited much sorrow when . our straining : eyes could no longer catch a glimpse - ortlie cliffs &Britain.. Sea voyages vary so little in their general charac ter, that it would only be the repetition of an old story, to say much about ours—we suffered the usual penalty of sea-sickness for a few dayshad our full proportion of calms—saw dolphins and porpoises ie abundance=-met with no seriously bad weather, and were all kept in good health. Five weeks had thus passed, when the Captain announced that we were in the latitude of the islands, and might expect, if fortunate, the next day to see land. On account of the prevalence in these latitudes of westerly winds, for at least two-thirds of the year, it is customary and advisable for navigators to get to the westward of these islands, and when in the latitude make up their longitude; we were accordingly steering east, and the next day at twelve o'clock, heard the joyful news, " Land a-head," which was echoed from mouth to mouth, before and aft,. above and below. This joy may be thought extravagant, but none but those who have been so long cooped up as we were, with the same prospect, morning, noon, and night, and the same faces to be seen at all times, can form any just idea of the pleasure arising from the pros pect of once more having room to stretch yourself to your natural dimensions, and viewing the human face divine in greater variety, I mounted the fore top to see it, but confess I could not discover a ves tige of land ; however, the practised eye of the sea man, left it undoubted, it is astonishing how soon they discover objects at sea, while the landsmen can see nothing—just as the American Indians trace the footsteps of others, over the dry leaves of the inter minable forests which that quarter of the world pre sents in its interior. Happily for us, the wind was fair anti sufficient in force, to waft us along with all sail set, or to use a seafaring phrase, we had a whole sail breeze. This soon brought us so near as to dis - ti aguish from deck the white houses and green trees, all very delightful to those eyes which had scarcely had any other view than the wide.expanse of ocean, with occasionally a sail like a speck en the horizon, for a long period of time. The proud British union jack was hoisted at the mast-head for a pilot, and soon had the desired effect ; three small boats were seen approaching, and, as we had not slackened sail, we were soon at issue. Now came the tug of war, • between these rival pilots, which was, however, soon terminated by one of them running alongside, from which sprang upon our deck a tall good-looking negro, who came aft on the quarter-deck bowing and scraping all the way, when the captain gave him charge, and then went below to arrange his papers. These Bermudian boats are bailt of cedar, which is a very buoyantwood, and excellent for shipbuilding; they draw from two to five feet water, with long raking masts and shoulder-of-mutton sails; sail un commonly fast, are easily managed, perfectly side in bad weather, and are in every respect adapted to the purposes to which they are applied. The pilot, as I have before remarked, was a tall negro, with a very black and glossy skin, who seemed to know _ _ every rock and shoal between which the vessel was obliged to pass, and through many such we did paSs, the helm being one minute up and the next down. The entrance to the harbour of St. George is narrow, and is protected by a fort called Cunningham. After passing this entrance, we were soon in the well shel- tered haven, surrounded on every side with hills co vered with cedar, and interspersed with clean look ing white houses. A few minutes sail brought us in sight of the town, which presents one of the most beautiful landscapes the eye ever rested on. .The square tower to the little church—the white and yellow houses—the clear and cloudless sky above, with the dark foliage of the cedar clad hills in the rear,—combine to make the scene most enchanting. To the westward of the town is a hill called Fort George, whore is situated the telegraph ; from the hill several flags were displayed, communicating, no doubt, to the other parts of the island the arrival of a vessel from England, an event at all times of great interest to the inhabitants of so isolated a place as this. A number of boats, small and great, sur rounded us on all sides, as soon as we had anchored —but no one came on board until the health officer had made his visit. While we were below preparing to land, we were informed that the Doctor was ap proaching; we hastened on deck expecting to see a splendid barge with colours flying, and all the cir cumstance and pomp of power; but judge of our astonishment to see a portly gentleman seated in the stern of a paltry little boat, with a blind negro man and a negro woman for rowers, and a pile of cedar wood in the bow of the boat. We landed upon the King's-square, which is behind the island, called Ordnance Island, on which are deposited ordnance storm s. lam sorry to say that the town looked bet ter in the distance than on close inspection. The streets are extremely narrow, which, however, is undoubtedly an advantage in all warm climates, as it creates much- pleasant shade, and without which walking in the middle of the day would not be bear able. The houses are low, scarcely ever exceeding two stories, and built substantially of a kind of sand stone with which this island abounds. This stone is easily quarried, arid can be squared with a com mon hand-saw, but becomes harder by exposure to the atmosphere. The barracks are situated on a hill to the eastward of the town, and are very com modious, and would probably comfortably accom modate two thousand troops. There are few springs in the island, and consequent l y t h e people depend on ram—for the purpose of catching which they have large tanks, built of stone, and covered with Roman cement. The air being free from smoke, and the roofs of the houses newly whitewashed, the water . thus caught is very pure, and is really as deli most mons as any I ever tasted. The Government have large reservoirs of water on the north side of . the town for the supply of the navy. The fortifications for the protection of this end of Bermuda, are the already mentioned Fort Cunningham, at the mouth . of the harbour, and a fort called Catharine, not . quite completed, situated at the north-east extremity of St. George's Island. The hospitality of the inhabitants of these roman tic isles, is proverbial, and, I am sure, I .have great cause to echo their praises, for, fro m . the time of my parties of pleasure Nvere o a l r i l l i i ' g ra ii i ig un a t t i t l en in ti y on d ; e formed to visit other parts of the . island,. and such of p f a re rt q u u r e e n , t experienced the these as are worth the description I will narrate. Our first jaunt was to . a place called Walsingban; distant aboot three imie% from the tow n ; 'as the ,- . 4ai 1 • .., - weather was fine, and the' ' a ")6 e, fiy water," we went thither in boats; uring;gri..littiel;4o-11 we passed through sew:itBlll,l*k and 7 ; - over:irtnn 2 8 merable shoals, 'on most t !,o,tl,whlCl44l.o4Fig t ,tr*. ::: was sufficient depth of wit 4 ',for otti`loq 1.0.1:4!)!'S'i; without groonding. - \.' - ;442t:! Nk Walsingham-bay (as it is _ e.y situated situated on the-margin of Castle-iiarboub Whidt'vtras formerly used as an- anthorage for the King's ships, but from the danger of the navigation, arising from numberless shoals, and the lois of ' , filial:l.:of-war at the entrance, the use has been discontinued; it takes its name from a dilapidated fortification; miscalled " The Castle," which is now principally used as a place of banishment for refractory soldiers. Hiving , landed, and scrambled over the sharp rocks, we pro ceeded to a beautifully sheltered spot, overhung with a rocky cliff, and shaded by a wide spreading cocoa tree, and perfumed by the Seville oranges, which hung in yellow clusters all around us, with no sound save the chirp of the Chick-of-the-Village, red and blue bird, to disturb us; we spread on the green sod the provision which we had brought with us, which consisted of poultry, confection, and fruit, which received due honour from us all. The sea breeze having not a little contributed to the vigour of our appetites. We next proceeded to view the " Caves." The entrance to one of these is most picturesque :—We descended a kind of natural stair case, into a dell surrounded on three - sides with high rocks, covered with creeping plants of various kinds, and borderbd around with the orange, coffee, pal meto, banana, and cedar trees, forming one of the most beautiful groves possible. The entrance to the care situated in this spot is narrow, and visitors are obliged to go almost on all fours ; we carried with us a lanthorn, and a number of the dry leaves of the palmetto tree, to make a fire within. When we had alleffected an entrance, some of the party set fire to the pile of dry leaveS, and they burst upon our view the beauties which the darkness had hi therto concealed ; there are two chambers, one run ning into the other, with lofty roofs, from which hung beautiful petrifactious of various sizes and shapes, which, if struck with a piece of metal, or other hard substance, produced a vAriety, of sounds. The other cave we visited has a large body of salt water within, clear as crystal, and very deep; a stone thrown in makes a great noise ; the roof of this is similar to the other; but not quite so extensive; both however are singularly beautiful, and well repay a visit. We also visited a large natural fish-pond, in which a former proprietor of the property had a great number of fine fish, but now there are very few. Our rambles around this enchanting spot brought night upon us before we were aware, but it little mattered, for we had a full moon to light its home. And here I would remark, the beautiful moonlight nights which these islands enjoy ; the sky is generally clear and cloudless, and the queen of night has full and undisturbed range of the heavens. Often have I sat for hours, and watched her while she shed around her chastened beams, and sure am I, the boasted moon-lights of Italy are not a whit: more beautiful than those of the Bermuda isles enjoy. . Our next excursion was to the Dock-yard, tuated at the west end of the island, and distally about 15 miles. For about three miles, our course lay between St. George and Long-bird Islands after passingwhiehwe came to the westernmost outletof *St. George's Harbour, a narrow passage about the eighth of a mile wide, called the Ferry. To pro tect this opening, a Martello-tower, with one gun, erects its head. The ferry is so seldom used for the ingress or egress of vessels, from the shallowness of the water and strength of the current, that the above-mentioned fortification is quite as strong as necessary. The tide ran with such force that we experienced much difficulty in stemming it; but, by the use of oars, in conjunction with our sails, we at length succeeded in reaching the open sea; on tho north side of the island. Geographers describe these group of islands as in form like a shepherd's crook, and in reality such is the form which they present—lreland, forming the extremity of the crook, while St. George is the handle. The wind being from the south, we were enabled to keep close along shore, and consequently in smooth water. The rocks here present a very formidable appearance, and certainly do away with the neces. sity of the work of man's hands, for no vessel could . approach within 10 or 15 miles of this side of Ber muda, without the certainty of being shipwreckea, and the lives of its crew placed in the greatest jeopardy. Nine miles north is a rock, which, at low tide, presents a surface of about forty feet in circum. ference, called the North Rock. Shoals surround it for many hundred yards, and the water, when the wind is boisterous, breaks over it with a' terrific noise. This rock, placed as it were as a beacon, seems to say, " Hitherto sh - dt thou come, and no further;" for it must be a miracle indeed if a ship tgheitcsk ever e v r e r share e t c h t a i o n n n t , iii itfsornetighehbcoourrahloosdh.ott is not often that vessels are Wrecked on the North Rock, because careful mariners know the danger of . navigation recommend the switch side a s b e i ng t h o passing Bermuda to the northw ar d, as a ll b oo k s of safest. Now and then, however, some cunn i ng Yankee manages to wreck his ves se l upon i t, and thereby recovers, perhap s , f rom t h e unwary under% writers ten times lather as much as t h e value of lithier v essel and cargo. The sh ore presents old sterile appearance, and even the cedars. w hi ch h ave the misfortune to be growing near oewater, have a dead dingy appearance. The tterility arises from the spray of the sea, the salt from which, acted upon by the sun, causes the grass, &c. to wither and die away.' The shore is principally inhabited be fishermen and ship-builders ; the produc e of the oc cupation of the former being the priecipal sustenance of, and the business of the latter 10 its swim , , ramifications, affording employment to shopkeepers, mechanics, labourers, and sailors. About Mid-way between the Ferry and the Dock-yard is one of the houses appropriated as a residence for the Governor for the time being; it is scarcely seen from the water; but near it is a hill, called Mount Laneton, on which is a flag-staff, by which communication is kept up between St. George, Somerset, and the Dock-yard. A few miles beyond this is the resi dence of the Admiral; the name by which it is known has escaped my memory. Our sail, to the Dock-yard occupied us about three hours ; , and the sun had passed his meridian when we received permission to land, Ireland island on which the yard is, is about one mile in length, arid perhaps 8. quarter broad, and is nearly all occupied by the build trigs required for the officers, artizaui, and for store houses. The Hospital is situated on the high eg , part of the island, is very l a rge and commodiotia.:hnd really would almost tempt a person to be sZeyto in.. habit it.

The yard is kept in fine order, and in time will become a very re spectable establishment. At the time of cur visit there were only threeor four ships there, one of which was a guard-ship.
