METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY. The usual Monthly Meeting of this Society was held at the Society's Rooms 17, Old Bond-street, on Tuesday last, J. W. G. Rooms, Esq., 114.R.C.5., Treasurer of the Meteorological Society, in the Chair, when, after the formal routine business had been transacted, the following papers were read:- 1. A series of observations containing detailed ac counts of a meteor seen in Wales on the 11th ult. at Swansea, New Radnor, Lancrindo Wells, and also at Bristol and Gloucester. 2. Notices of a violent hurricane that occurred at Calcutta and the country round, committing great da mage; from the Ist to the 6th of June last, by Mr. Piddington. • 3. A very interesting paper by P. L. Simmonds, Esq., F.R.S.S., Secretary of the Meteorological So ciety, " On the Meteorology of Australia," being the • first of a series of articles illustrating and describing the climate of the British Colonies. 4. An enumeration of the various diseases that have occurred during the past month, by W. 11. Bailey, Esq., Thetford. Various meteorological tables and registers from the Society's home and foreign correspondents were re ceived and compared. The following donations have been received since the last meeting:—Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh for the Session, 1842, from the Society ; Midland Counties Herald, Bth inst., Ohio Observer, from Professor Loomes, con taining the Professor's Journal for July. THE GROWING GLORY OF THE FATHERLAND. (From the Frankfort Journal.) " No Austria I no Prussia ! but one Germany, strong as her mountains !"—Speech of the Archduke John (f Austria. . , The golden seed scattered over the German soil by Klopstock, the bard; by Herder, the noblest of all • philosophers; by Schiller, the inspired poet ; by Schubert, the ardent patriot ; and by Arndt, the elo quent herald of German national honour—that seed of promise, whose first germs were moistened by the heroic blood of our youth in the holy war, is beginning to shoot up, vigorously fostered by the genial spring which now pours its breath through our Fatherland, and warmed by the radiant sun, which, with the formation of the German commercial union, has risen on our. horizon. More beautiful than the spring of nature, more beautiful than any picture created by poetic imagina tion, more beautiful even than the death of the hero joyfully resigining his life for his country, is this dawning of a new and glorious era for Germany. That which has been gradually vanishing from us since the days of the Hohenstaufen Emperors; that which is indispensable to enable us to fulfil the destination marked out for us in the history of the world ; that which alone is wanting to render us the noblest and mightiest of all nations of the earth—viz., the feeling of national honour—we are now about to recover. Every effort, every tendency, is recognised by the fruit it bears. For what object have our patriots been striving ? To imbue the people with the feeling of national honour—with the conviction that Germany, by her position in the centre of Europe, by her culti vation, by her extent, and by the solidity of her cha racter, is entitled to rank among the highest, if not to take the very highest place among the nations of the earth. Every misfortune that we have suffered for centuries pas t may be traced to one cause, and that is, that we have ceased to consider, ourselves a united nation of brothers, whose first duty it is to exert our common efforts to oppose the common enemy. That most precious sentiment, the feeling of na tional honour, seems once more to be awakening in the hearts of the German people; for with incessant strides we are advancing to the glorious goal along that path of honour which we had long forsaken, and on which other nations have-gai ne d th e a d vance f us. The foundation of the Zollverein was the first com mencement of these noble efforts; all similar happy manifestations in our popular existence are but the consequences of that great first idea. Consequently every friend of his country wishes and hopes to see broken the rigorous barriers which have so long sepa rated us from our brethren along the shores of our sea and the banks of our chief rivers. Germany seeks the sea—the free, the everlasting sea, where once she was so powerful and so dreaded; she longs to see the union flag of the Fatherland waving at the mast-head of German ships, as a prisoner longs to spend the first day of spring in the open fields. Let us hope that the firm perseverance of patriotic statesmen will ere long accomplish the complete union of all races of Germans in one commercial league; and in the meanwhile let us rejoice that the efforts hitherto made in furtherance of German unity are satisfactory. Musicians will regard the grand music-festivals as . _ the first bud of newly - expanding popular existence in Germany. Architects will rejoice at the grand idea (so worthy of Germany) of completing the cathedral of Cologne ; others will view as the most favourable sign of the times, and of popular cultivation, the filet that the monuments of our great heroes, philosophers, poets, musicians, and artists, are to be erected in th e market-places of German cities ! But they who wish to see the national efforts of the German people based on a solid practical foundation, will hail no idea with greater approbation than the praiseworthy honourable Man ufact uri ngUnion of Mentz. The 20th anniversary of the assemblage of German physicians and natu , ralists in that pleasant and lively town has been fixed on as the occasion of the first general exhibition of German manufactures. I have with feelings of great gratification inspected these products of German manufactural industry. In passing through the halls and rooms in which they are exhibited, I have heard Englishmen and French men, albeit reluctantly, speak in terms of eulogy of the wonderful perfection of German manufactures ; and I have not seen a German whose opinions did not confirm me in the conviction that to this day no plan, no idea, has been so effectual for pro:noting a stroll.. German national feeling as this first exhibition of German manufactures, for which our Fatherland is in debted to the patriotism of the Mentz Manufacturing Union. I have read it in every eye, I have heard from every mouth, and I know that no German has quitted this exhibition of German industry, talent, and ingenuity', without carrying home with him an increased love of his country, and an ardent desire to promote the honour of that country. Germania a germinando nomen aceepit ! Let it be remambored, that after the great singing festival of 1838, an essthusiastic love of singing pervaded the val leys of the Edo and the Maine, extending to the north and the south, ) similar in effect will be this great festival of German industry. In all the States of Germany manufacturing unions will be formed, and manufacturing exhibitions will be opened, the mom especially in those States in which heretofore nothing of the kind had existed. Germania! thy future will be great," once said a man who no Yniger lives in Germany. Let those who think what our n eional development will be at the close of the present century' look back and reflect on what it was at the century's comm?ncement. " PEEL'S TARIFP."—It is that the amount of coal duty received at Sunderland &ring one month only, since the new Act came into opal - 144M, ftMotiots to 2,0001., whereas in twelve months previous, OP amount was a mere trifle. Now, if you will take iliß trouble to inquire of any person engaged in the fb , reign coal trade you will learn that the rate of freight has been diminished since the. said "Act" came into operation in all cases, or nearly so, by the full amount of duty imposed. What a subject of congratglation, then, must it be to the small shipowners to learn that while they have been sailing their vessels for nothing (and, in many cases, to an actual loss), that this se cond Solomon come to judgment, our present " Heaven-born Minister, " has obtained for the Trea sury in one month 2,0001., which would, but for the Act in question, have found its way into their pockets. Tyne Mercury, SUDDEN DEATH OF A BOY WHILST PLAYING.— Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest on Monday fore • no on, at the University College Hospital, (ower streeet, on the body of Thos. Smith, aged nine ears, who who died suddenly in the following manner :—lt peared from the evidence of two las, named Smith, but not related to the deceased, that he was the son of a painter, residing at N 0.36, Aldenham-street, Somers town, and that on Saturday evening last they were all running up and down Barclay-street, playing at " horses." They had been so engaged about half an hour, when deceased of a sudden laid hold of the iron railings, staggered, and fell. He was instantly taken home and attended by a surgeon ; who advised his removal to the hospital, which was done. When he fell he did not appear heated or fatigued by over exercise. Mr. Canney, house-surgeon, said deceased was admitted at nine o'clock on Saturday evening last, in a state of insensibility, and labouring under compression of the brain. No one could tell him then whether his condition was the result of a violent fall or not. He was treated for apoplexy, and died in an hour after his admission. A post mortem examination having been made, an extremely large clot of coagu lated blood was found effused on the right hemisphere of the brain, quite sufficient to cause death. By the Coroner—From all the circumstance now within my knowledge, I have no doubt that the deceased _ died from natural causes producing apoplexY• The Coro • ner—lf you had it proved to you that deceased had received a se -- ere blow on the head previous to death, should you b e o f th a t op i n i on ? Canney—No ; t t o h e the e appearance of the c blow. brain would then be attributed The Coroner—True; and if it were proved that the blow was struck with ma licious intent, the party striking it would be hanged. This case, like many others, proves the neas2sity of other evidence besides post nwrtenz appearances, be, fore effects can be traced to their true causes. Ver dict, "Natural death from the extravasation of blood on the brain." THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY- MORNING, OCTOBER 13 1 1842. TUESDAY.—(Before Sir N. TINDAL) SENTENCES ON THE PRISON 'RS. At the sitting of the Court this morning the 26 prisoners found guilty of the attack on ai d demolition of the Rev. Dr. Vale s s house, were placed at the bar, and having been called upon by the clerk of arraigns in the usual way, to know whether they had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon them according to law —all the prisoners answered in the negative. The Learned JUDGE said the verdict of an intelli gent, patient, and upright Jury had decided that they were guilty Of the offence charged against them, of riotously and tumultously assembling and demo lishing the dwelling-house of the Rev. Dr. Vale. It was a fearful offence of which they had been found , guilty. For an offence like theirs, depriving everyone within their reach of the protection of the laws, and robbing them of all the comforts and hap • piness of social life, a punishment propor tionately severe must be inflicted. Happ;ly for the irisaners, he was savel the pain of passing sentence upon them for a capital offence, and, as there was some doubt, from the wording of the Act, whether he could pass sentence of transportation for life, which some of the cases seemed amply to deserve. looking as carefully and anxiously as he was able at the circumstances of each particular case, he would endeavour to distinguish between those who were present when the house was set on fire, or actively en gaged in feeding the flames, or endeavouring to pre vent their extinguishment, and the others who were not perhaps so actively engaged. Bearing these ob jects in view, the sentence he should pass upon John Haines, Richard Wright, George Colclough, John Williams, Joseph Whiston, Cotton, and William Cartlidge was, that they be transported for twenty one years ; that Jervase Phillips be transported for fifteen years ; that Thomas 'W ags t a ff, J os. S aunders, Samuel Whitehouse, Joshua Gilbert, -- Bankes, and Edward Smith, be transported for ten 3-ears ; that Wm. Shaw, Wm. Bradbury, John Owen, John Powell, Dimmock, Tort, and Hurst, be imprisoned for twelve months, with hard • labour; that James Millington, Samuel Eaton, and Richard Edge, be im prisoned for four months, with hard labour ; and that James Hurst, who, from his extreme youth, he hoped had been unconsciously led into it, be imprisoned for two months, with hard labour. He should pass no sentence upon James Saunders, because he had been since tried before his brother Parke, who would pass sentence upon him. The prisoners were then removed. CASE OF ARTHUR O'NEIL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL understood that his Learned Friend, Mr. Lee, had an application to make on behalf of Arthur O'Neil, to traverse to the next session or assizes, and he wished his Lordship would then hear the application. The Learned JUDGE, after hearing Counsel, said he would take the affidavits and depositions in the matter„ consult his two learned brethren, and give his opinion the following morning. TRIAL OF COOPER FOR ARSON. Thomas Cooper, of Leicester, the Chartist leader and orator, was then placed at the bar, with twelve others, charged with having riotously and unlawfully assembled and demolished the house of Mr. Parker, at the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent. The prisoner Cooper, a respectable-!ooking middle aged man, said he ob'ected to be tried with the other prisoners, and the Counsel for the Crown agreed to take the case separately. The other prisoners were ordered to go down from the bar. Mr. LEE said the prisoner had resolved to conduct his own case, and had requested him to give him the benefit of his assistance upon points of law that might arise affecting the interests of his client. Mr. Yardley was also retained by the prisoner. The SOLICITORGENERAL stated the case against Cooper, and detailed the circumstances under which the attack took place upon Mr. Parker's house. The question the Jury would have to try was, whether the prisoner, Thomas Cooper, was one of the mob who attacked and destroyed the house of Mr. Parker ? I t was not necessary to show that it was his hand that set fire to the house, but if he could be shown in such a position with the mob as to be a:ding and exciting them to the work of destruction, then he would be guilty of the offence equally with those who com mitted the work of destruction. The Learned Counsel then stated the facts of the case as they afterwards appeared in the evidence, and called :Mary Travis, housekeeper to Mr. Parke',. , Andrew Rowley, a p o tt er l iving at Sheltor w h o gave evidence, but it did no t t en d i n the leP st to inculpate and Cooper. Mr, Mr. LEE submitt e d th a t the evidence .. cluld not be received now given - was present, .or t 'unless it was shown that Cooper .tat he was connected with the m o b bY some Pr'7,ous acts or declarations. The° - . OLICITOR-GEN BAAL apprehended that it would oe sufficient to show that the prisoner formed a part of the mob. If they could not do so, then all the evi dence went for nought. The Learned JUDGE overruled the objection. Un less the prisoner was connected with these acts the n there was no case against him. Josiah am a painter and gilder of Hanky. The mob had turned out in the mouth of August, and were compellingthe colliers and others to strike. They were holding meetings in different places. I was at the meeting on the morning of the 15th, about eight o'clock. It had then commenced; there were about 1,000 present, and many of them had heavy blud • goons in their hands.. I saw Thomas Cooper on the Sunday evening preach, or pretending to preach, to the crowd at the Crown-bank. I saw him at the meet ing on Monday morning. I heard him say, when ad dressing the mob, that he considered himself the self elected chairman of that meeting. After that a man came forward and moved a resolution agreeing to stand by the resolution passed at the Manchester meeting, to cease labour until the Charter became the law of the land. I heard Cooper say it would be an easy matter to get the Charter, for if only one-tenth part of the population were to come out on a given day and hour, and say, " W e w ill h ave th e Ch ar t er ," nothing could stop us. He also said, alluding to the strengths of the soldiers, that there were not more than ten soldiers for every large town in the king dom. Alluding to the strike, he said that some people thought the winter time would be the most favourable, but he thought the present time was the most favourable; that it was better to be idle in the fine weather than in the winter; that it was better to be idle when there was plenty on the ground. lie would not advise them to steal, nor would he steal him self, but left them to put their own construction upon it. They all rose up and shouted, and th en th e y wen t towards Lord Granville's collieries. Those around the platform appeared to be leading the others. I fol lowed them down, and at the first pit the engine was stopped. After the last engine was stopped, they or dered myself and some others who were standing on a bank looking on, to come down and join them ; many had very large cudgels. I accompanied them a little distance and got away. I was present at a meeting in the evening at the Crown-bank. The crowd was then greater than in the morning. It was then near seven o'clock. I had then heard of the outrages that had been committed. I saw Cooper going towards the George and Dragon, and then he returned towards the Crown-bank, to which the meet ing had been adjourned. He was singing, and had hundreds following him. I heard him singing in the chorus, " Spread the Charter." The meeting was opened by singing, Cooper giving out the lines, and the chorus was something respecting O'Cor:nor. 1 recollect two lines— " The lion of freedom's let loose from his den, And we'll rally round him again and again." I heard Cooper at the meeting say that he understood many of them had got drunk, and that some about him then were tipsy ; but they must abstain from drink, or they w ou ld b e s ure to be detected. I then eft while he was speaking. Cross-examined by the prisoner—l stopped at the meeting in the morning till it was concluded. I took tio notes of what you said at any of the meetings. I wily gave the parts of your speeches that particularly struck my attention.

About half-past three o'clock the Grand Jury came into Court with a true bill of enormous length, for conspiracy, against " the Chartist Executive," consist ing of Feargus O'Connor, the Rev. William Hill, the Rev. J. Scholefield, Bernard Macartney, Peter M'Douall, and others, amounting to the number of GO. MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR. Mr. IVILKINs said he had an application to make to the Court on the part of Mr. Feargus O'Con nor, against whom the Grand Jury had recently re turned a true bill. His Lordship was aware thit Mr. O'Connor had been taken by warrant before Mr. Hail, the Chief Magistrate at Bow-street, and held to bail to appear and answer any indictment which might be found against him. If the Court would allow Mr. O'Connor to plead to the indictment by proxy all dif ficulty in the case would be obviated, which was ge neraliy done in misdemeanors. If not, he (Mr. Wil kins) should be prepared with some affidavits, showing that Mr. O'Connor could not be removed from home without risk to his life. The JUDGE thought that this was only done in the Queen's Bench. Mr. WILKINS said it was very often done at ses sions. lie did not mean to quote the practice at ses-; sions as a precedent for his Lordship, but that it would be the most convenient. The JUDGE said the question was whether the At torney-General would consent to allow it, and whether Mr. O'Connor would be found by it afterwards. The ATTORNEY.-GENERAL said he should be quit e satisfied with the undertaking of his Learned Friend Mr. Wilkins. The JUDGE—And you won't repudiate ? Mr. WILKINS—If he he alive, I will undertake that. he shall appear here at the assizes. I have no intentio tt to repudiate, nor has Mr. O'Connor.

The Court adjourned at five minutes It 8 o,cloc: SALES UNDER the NEW 'TARIFF- Yesterday the first sale s of foreign provisions under the new scale of dutifn took place in this town. The quantity offered w , :,s considerable, and the atter ) ance appears to hav e been extremely good, many parsons having eolne from distant parts o f th e couutry . Per haps on this account the prices obtained offe r a less 21 0'. criterion of the rates likely to be permanently realised for articles of the same denritifion. The pork seems to have been the favourite article, but being put up in lots too large for country dealers, many were doubtless prevented pmchmin c ,o., who would afterwards take small supplies from the re tailers. After all, it appears that the prices did not quite come up to the expectation of the importers, some of whom consequently withdrew their parcels. We have been favoured with reports of the sales from several of the respectable brokers concerned, but the substance of the whole will be found embodied in the following, which has been carefully prepared by Messrs. Leech, Harrison, and Co. Yesterday, the 10th of October, was the day fixed. by the new tariff for the payment of the reduced du.- ties on salted provisions, and, in consequence, puUie sales to a considerable extent were arranged to take place this day. These sales comprised the following articles from the United States-1,522 barrels of beef, 2,190 of pork, 311 of hams ; and from Canada, 691 barrels of pork and 35 of hams, and excited consider able interest and curiosity. The attendanc e of town and country dealers at the sales was numerous, and there were some gentlemen from Ireland ; the latter, no doubt, chiefly to watch the progress of a trade.: threatening to interfere with that which they have ellioved exclusively for so long. It must be observed, that the greater portion of The United States' meats were imported some months and, having been cured before it was known that there would be a change in the British duties, were not so well suited to the taste of consumers kiere, as doubtless they will be rendered hereafter. 'The pork was generally very well fed, though rather tatter than the usual run of Irish. Of the beef, on the contrary, it wa observed, that it was not sufficiently w e ll f e d. We question whether the sales have resulted to the satistitetion of the importers general l iy; the buyers evidently acted with more wariness fa•om being new to the trade. Of the United States' provisions a large portion was withdrawn. The hams sold fetched 30s. 6d. to 31s. per cwt., duty paid. Prime beef 335. to 395. per bar rel, duty paid ; a very old parcel went even lower. Pork 41s. to 465. per barrel, duty paid. The Cana dian pork realised 435. to 465. per barrel, duty paid. Of Canadian beef there was little offered, which rea lised for mime 465. to 48s.,and one lot of prime filess 50s. per barrel, duty paid. Several parcels of American cheese were offered, and sold at 365. 6d. to 465. 6d. per cwt., duty paid,, for inferior to middling quality, whilst a few lots of " good" brought 50s. to 545. per cwt., duty paid.— Liverpool Courier of Wednesday. . __ FOREIGN CATTLE.—Up toSiTtitidav last the total number of foreign oxen imported at London, Hull, Margate, Ramsgate, and Southampton, since the passing of the tariff, was 1,007.

TYE PREVAILING SICKNESS.—The unhealthiness of the season, of which the reports of the Registrars last week have given such melancholy and striking proofs, has extended its influence to the higher, as we ll as to the lower classes of s9eiety. At Sir Robert Peel's the Archduke of Austria was so indisposed that messenger was sent to Chatsw or th to put off h• 1L IS In t- Perial Highness's visit to the Duke of D evonsh:gre At Drayton Hall his Excellency the Russian R ' Ambas - - sador was likewise taken so ill as to' require his re— pairing immediately to town for advice. The next' day his Serene Highness the P • Prince Esterliray was likewise attacked with severe ___ indisposition, and re moved at once to town. To s how the extent to which illness has prevailed in • even one single class of dis tinguished personages, we have only to add that his his Excellency the trench Ambassador, after paying respects to her Majesty at Windsor, IST.S attacked by ague in its severest form. Serious illness from this would appear to prevail amongst the higher orders of society. LITE RA TURE. THE BE TRU T I LED. Gadd!, Edinburgh, 1842. This is a publication, in a cumpac;, neatly printed four-sbilling volume, of Sir Walter Scott's tale of the •` Betrothed," which, if we re member rightly, was among the least popular of his works of fiction. The tale is also reprinted in an octavo form, and both editions contain all the notes and intrnductions that were appended in the series which was brought out in ,1830, under the author's active, personal superin tendence. FATHEII,OSWALD. Dolman, London, 1842 , " Father Oswald" is an answer to a work that appeared some time ago, under the title of " Father Clement,". and which was an attack on the Catholic doctrines, which were objected to with no little earnestness ; the present tale, which professes to be an antidote to that baneful production, of course takes the other side of the qued,ion, and defends Catholicism in an 'eloquent, impressive, and, at times, convincing spirit. As a tale, it has little or nothing to recommend it, being almost wholly devoid.of incident; but, as a controversial work, it possesses strong claims on the attention of the theological student. THE ARAB BRIDE. Bull, London, 1842. To those who maintain that the present age is a dull, mechanical, matter-of-fact one, utterly destitute of poetic feeling and fancy, we would respectfully recommend an attentive perusal of " The Arab Bride," which will convince them of the fallacy of their hypothesis, and induce them—however reluctantly—toacknowledge that a genius for the exalted and imaginative still lin gers among us, and that we possess at least one poet not unworthy to chirp on the loftiest heights of Parnassus. [he Arab Bride" is indeed a truly surprising production, and so far as eccen tricity of sentiment, description, and imagery is concerned, exhibits peculiarities, which—to quote the elegant language of George Robins—are " more easily conceived than described." That we are unable to comprehend some of its more recondite beauties, is by no means to its discre dit, for obscurity is a source of the sublime, and from the very ambiguity of his language and the Vague, exquisite incongruity of his startling me taphors, is to be inferred the Author's possession Of genius of the sublimest order. . Like most great poets, he rushes at once into the heart's core of his subject, and introduces his hero to us in the 'midst of a thunder-storm, which it seems, is playing some awkward tricks with a vessel in which he is a passenger The storm must be a very ferocious one, if we may judge from the fol lOwingdescription : " Nought now is heard save the billow knocking 'Gainst the barque's hull, now diving, now rocking, Or the sea bird's wild and shuddering scream, As she wingeth past, like some thing of dream ; The wind no longer a moan as before, Runneth through each shroud with a hollow roar, And driveth theprow through each maddening wave Which yawns for her prey like a hungry grave." After the prow of the vessel has been well dOcked-and the passengers too, we presume— by the " maddening wave," the thunder and lightning commence business on their own ac count, and get up a very pretty skriimnage, as is duly set forth in these bewildering couplets : " Har . k, on the welkin that low, clanging boom, The thunder, the thunder bath burst from the womb! Be comes on his hot and fiery steed, He tears up the turf of Heaven's inky mead, And darts through the jagged rent that snaky flash, Which runs through the mast with a hideous crash, And drags the torn hull 'neath the hissing sea, Down into the depths of immensity ! From the whirling eddy a fearful scream Is sent up for help to the pale moonbeam ; But she smiles on each wretch struggling for breath, A torch to light them to the realms of death." Mercy on us what a sketch ! The shipwreck of Don Juan is a mere joke to it ! We say no thing of' the extraordinary picture of the thunder cantering on horseback along the sky, and tear ing up • the " turf" of its " inky mead ;" but mark the harrowing description of the drowning sailors, singing out to the moon, and asking her it she will be good enough to lend them a helping band, to which modest and natural request she makes no other reply, .than by a cold, heartless smile, which it appears is intended to do duty as a " torch," and light the mariners to Davy Jones's locker !—When the ship sinks, all the crew sink with it, except one, who is of course the hero of the tale, and answers to the name of Morad. Now this Morad, while swimming about in— what Jonathan would call —" a very con siderable pretty particular state of perplexity," suddenly comes in contact with a raft—a most unexpected but welcome godsend, by the aid of which he contrives to keep himself afloat lie drags each weary limb upon its side, A Heaven-sent home where he may safely ride, Now deeper and longer each valleys grows, Higher and higher are each mountain's snows, While the heaven above is a dome of fire, Through which the thunder wanders in mad ire. After floating about tbr some hours on the raft, during which embarrassing period he is filled with all sorts of strange fitncies, besides losing his precious eye-sight, " Hii sight is ta'en away, he cannot tell, Whether he is going to Heaven or Hell !" After being thus tempeSt-tossed for the best part of four-and-twenty hours, Morad is for tunately cast .ashore on a lonely island, where he instantly falls asleep, which gives the author an opportunity of describing the various beauties, &c., of the island in question. It is, it seems, crowded with " soft palm trees," and is the sole property of " Ali, once of Bedouin band the Lord," who, however, has been disowned by his tribe in consequence of his having wedded, " contrary to law,"ayounggentlewoman named Stella,by whom he is the father of one daughter, named Zamora, a remarkably good-looking girl, and whom he is anxious to marry to " Kaled," chief of the Bedcuin band, who had ostracized him. Ac cordingly he proceeds to sound the young woman on the subject, and finds her standing near a waterfall, watching the little fishes, and weeping : " The lash that hides the heavenly fire from sight, Is dewed with tears, and dark as darkest night, And rests upon a cheek whose velvet die The pomegranate's best bloom could never vie ; That brow so soft with its arches below, As if the God of Love, on the pearl's glow, Had traced with finger, steeped in henna's die, A fairy hall, whence he might safely fly His fleetest arrows thro' the maiden's eye." The picture of the God of Love standing in a "fairy hall," built with his own " flutter," and taking aim with a bow and arrow at a lady's eye, is a very impressive one, and deserves praise for its rare originality. While Zamora is weeping, and thinking of her absent sweetheart, who, strange to say, 1§ ito otlivrOlan our shipwrecked friend s Norad, - • " A hand on hers is laid, She starts and turns her eye, is't thpu, my Sire " 4I 's reply is business-like, and remarkable for the absence of all ceremony, "Who PWPotild 4 1)9 he replies in ire." He then proceeds to tell her that she must make up her mind to marry Kaled, which of course adds not a little to her tribulation, and She wanders away to the sea-shore, still brooding vpir the recollection of Morad, when on a sud den) to her infinite asopishment, she finds the very man birriseK tying, tg q f t ppeffrappe, on the sands as dead as mutton With some diffi culty she r•az.tnre§ hint to life and consciousness, after which the impas§ippg conpje renew their vows of eternal constancy, and go witnilep jog about the island , arm-in-arm, in a very happy and eggitabie frame of mind. But this does not last long, ter one One mnroing ? Paw ; Asked for his bride with haughty words, not tame ; Hurried her weeping from her sunny. isle, Gave for for tears a horrid, sickening smile; And when she asked . W time to Did farewell To each loved stream, her favin, her §lll l 4y 4PP, Her father interfered, and mildly said, ' Perhaps we may return, when thou art wed.'" This was very ungentlemanlike conduct on the part of Kaled and Ali ; but Morad ig one of those fierce fellows who will stand no nonsense, BO off he goes after Zamora and her uncivil companions, overtakes them as they are sailing' away from the island, and engages in a desperate conflict with them, which ends, as might be anticipated, in his own death, and that of his idolized sweetheart. From this brief summary of the leading incidents of the "Arab Bride," our readers will see that it must be a very heart-breaking production ; and the quotations we have made from it will con vince them that its poetical qualities are of the rarest and most effective character. Indeed we give the poem no higher praise than is its due, whevive say that it is quite as original as any. thing recorded in D'lsraeli's "Curiosities of Li. terature." SCHONBERG'S CHAIN RULE. Effingham Wilson. The great virtue of early arithmetical studies consists in the exercise which they give to th e reasoning. faculties; and the minute thesis and its accompaoying solution, known by the name of " u sum," is the best tea of youthful powers. The subtlest, therefore, but the plainost method, by which an arithmetical question can be worked out, should assuredly be that adopted, accordin g to the greater degree that it tends to improve and sharpen the capacity. ThiS is the ollject of Mr. Schonberg's Chai n R u l e . On examination ' it appears to us to po.isess mnch advantage over the ordinary means of calculation. Agreeably with its name, the links of the process, as ad duced by the Chain Rule, are clearly seen, and the sequences of cause, effect, and4iane involved in the numeration in hand, are tracedby the mind of the student, in a manner which cannot tail of causing a perspicuous understanding of the same. This principle of linking is its great and excellent feature. The original use of the Chain Rule me thod of arithmetic was made, we believe, by one Adam Ries so early as 1579, and subsequently' on the Continent has been much used by com mercial men and conductors of schools. Our English arithmeticians appear only to have con sidered it applicable to exchange, but the exam ples given by Mr. Schonberg in his valuable little manual, amply evince the universality of its use. BOOK OF,BRITISH BALLADS, Part V. flow, London, 1842.

A Correspondent, whose professional pursuits re quire him to go over a considerable extent Of coun try, and who is well acquainted with the former con dition of the districts and roads now superseded by railways, and also aware of their present state, has furnished us with a few particulars which may, per haps, not be thought unimportant at the prescLt time. It is already well known that the great railways that have been opened have completely destroyed the coaching and posting business, and have also, to a very great extent, ruined the inns upon the old lines of road ; and it is not at all an exaggeration to say, that the whole of the country upon the Northern, Western, and, in fact, every other line that is op posed by a railway, is reduced to a most miserable condition. It is not the mere removal of the posting and coaching from the road that is to be considered, but the effects upon every branch of trade and indus try, caused by the destruction of the old accustomed mode of transit. One example from each line of railway will show the dreadful consequences of the change that has taken place. In the town of Hounslow, which was the first stage on the Great Western road, there used to be kept, for the purposes of coaching and posting, before the railway was introduced, two thousand five hundred horses. Any persons acquainted with the nature of the business is aware that it would not be by any means an exagge ration to say that every one of those horses for keep, duty, shoeing, ostlers, harness, "&c., caused an outlay of two pounds per week, so that there was a sum of 5,0001. circulated every week in this one district, besides the money that was spent by travellers in the different inns ; and a very considerable portion of that amount was paid for labour, and distributed among the different tradesmen, every one of whom was bene fited either directly or indirectly. At the present time there are not seventy horses kept for the same purposes, for which twenty-five hundred were for merly profitably employed, and these seventy, instead of being kept liberally, as formerly, are, owing to the little employment for them, merely, as it were, pay ing their expenses. The consequence of the change necessarily has been, that every trade in the town has suffered, and hundreds of persons, formerly earning a respectable livelihood by their exertions, find their means of existence completely crippled, and the con sequent distress and want of means thus created, may very naturally be conceived. This state of things on the first stage of the western road will serve as an ex ample for the whole of the remaining distance, as, of tourse, an equal number of horses were required all the way down the road, and the effect, therefore, has been equally destructive upon all the towns which were formerly thriving and prosperous, and the solitude and almost desolation that now pre vail in these formerly flourishing places, can hardly be described. When it is recollected that the same effect has been produced right through the country for nearly two hundred miles, the necessary result has been, that every class has been impoverished, and their means of existence almost annihilated. On the northern road an almost equally disastrous effect has been produced. At Barnet, where, formerly; three or four hundred pairs of post-horses were constantly kept, together with an immense number of coach horses, the loss of the traffic, and the circulation of the money connected with it, has been the means of throwing hundreds of labourers out of employ, and ail the trades specially dependent upon it are almost an nihilated, and thus a vast amount of misery has been created. To the town of St. Albans the same obser vations apply with equal, if not grea ter force ; indeed, this once thriving and p ros perous town is• literally ruined, and such is its solitude, that it may almost he said that grass is growing in the principal streets. That these statements are correct every one who has recently travelled to these places can bear witness ; and under such circumstances it is not very difficult to imagine that they mu s t, t o a grea t extent, be the cause o much of the distress and want of trade and employment which at present, unhaPPil-Y, exists throughout the country.

A FoaT uN AT ED tscovEitY.—A singular discovery of theft was made last week.
