SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Th' only Ministerial changes consequent on the ,nations of Lord Grey and Lord Althorp were ti na,ly determined yesterday. Lord Althorp, as pre viously announced, resumes his office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Leader of the House of Commons. Lord Melbourne, therefore, is simply Premier of the late Administration ; Lord Duncannon is the new Se cretary of State for the Home Department, and will be immediately called to the Upper House —as, by statute, only two Secretaries of State can sit in the House of Commons. This appointment will give general satisfaction. The political principles, good sense, and capacity for business of Lord Duncannon, are universally acknowledged. A vacancy will conse quently be occasioned in the representation of Not tingham. It is rumoured that the first Commissioner of the Woods and Forests has been offered to Sir J. C. Hob house, and it is reported that the Right Hon. Baronet will be proposed for Nottingham in the place of Lord Duncannon. We have not learned whether any change will be made at present in the government of Ireland. Lord Durham, therefore, is net included in the resus citated Ministry ; and we do not hear that any fur ther changes are meditated. The House of Commons meets this evening, when any additional facts con nected with the Administration will probably transpire. The address to Lord Althorp, signed by about 240 members, was presented to his Lordship yesterday, by Mr. C. S. Lefevre, with a circular letter from Sir John Byng, Mr. Pendarves, Mr. Lambton, Mr. Ban neiman, Mr. Tennyson, and Mr. Lefevre. Parlia ment will, of course, now resume its sittings, and pro ceed to the completion of the pending' business of im portance ; but it is understood that the session will be brought to a close as early as possible.—Morning Chronicle. It will be seen from our Parliamentary report that the Lord Chancellor stated in the House of Lords last night that " the Government is now formed." The arrangements will be formally communicated to the two Houses this evening, in the Lords by Lord Mel bourne, and in the Commons by Lord Althorp. A disposition was manifested by the Marquis of London derry to create a premature discussion on the subject of Lord Althorp 's appointment ; but a feeling of propriety induced the Noble Marquis's own friends to check him. Lord Londonderry, indeed, with a childish impatience, put the public a little too soon in possession of the warfare that is to be waged against the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Noble Marquis " wished to be satisfied whether the right hand,' according to the expression of the Noble Earl lately at the head of the Go vernment, was to form a part of the new administra tion ? In consequence of the resignation of the right hand' of the late government, that government had been virtually dissolved, as they had been told in the other house of parliament, and he wanted to know whether the noble Viscount so dissolved was still Chan cellor of the Exchequer—whether the right hand' had come back to the body ?" The Duke of Rich mond called Lord Londonderry to order for his irregu larity. ; but, the Lord Chancellor, withouthesitation, told him "that he agreed with his noble friend who was lately at the head of the government, and with the noble Mar quis who had adopted his expression as the right one, that in whatever administration his noble friend took part, he must form the right hand' of that admi nistration. He was ready to answer the noble Marquis's question, and to say that his Noble Friend was still Chancellor of the Exchequer. He must be permitted to add, that he could not fancy any Admi nistration complete, without his Noble Friend's as sistance." It was allowed even by the Duke of Wel lington, that Lord Althorp is under no necessity to resign his seat. An intention to resign is not a re signation, otherwise Lord Althorp could not continue to act as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Chan cellor stated only the truth when he said that he could not fancy any Administration complete without his Noble Friends assistance. No one will accuse Lord Althorp of anxiety for office ; but the anxiety shown by the House of Commons for his continuing to lead them must be very gratifying to his Lordship. He will, however, have occasion for all his philosophy to enable him to parry the blows which are about to be aimed at him on account of the Coercion Bill.— Morning Chronicle. As the House of Commons assembles this day, we shall not remain much longer in ignorance of whatever changes the Ministry have undergone. In the mean time we are enabled to announce, on the authority of a conversation in the House of Lords, that Lord Mel bourne kissed hands yesterday as Pirst Lord of the Treasury and . head of the government, having, as the form implies, sueceeded in completing his admi nistration. Besides the appointment of Lord Dun cannon to the Home office, Sir John Hobhouse was spoken of as likely to succeed his lordship as Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests. There was no mention, however, of the disposal of the Irish Secretary ship, whether it is to be re-cast or is still to remain with Mr. Littleton, whose indiscretion was the origin of the changes that have taken place. But the period is at hand when the whole arrangements will be divulged, and nothing but their probable duration and consis tency left to conjecture. It will be some assistance towards forming a correct opinion on this part of the subject, to remember that Lord Melbourne's go vernment is not a new government, but the old one, all the worse for wear. Another inquiry that will suggest itself in relation to this topic is the estimation in which Lord Melbourne is himself regarded by the public. We stated, upon a former occasion, that his Lordship was little known. The fact is, that he never has been an active Member of Parliament. Though always connected with the Whigs, he was, at one pe riod of his life, accused of a strong aristocratic bear ing. It is true he may have changed his principles since, but, if so, he has kept his own secret better than some of his colleagues have kept the secrets of the Cabinet. We may, .therefore, infer that the in gredient of popularity does not occupy a very promi nent place among the qualifications of the new Pre mier. Even his most attached friends will hardly claim for him, on the score of personal influence, one tithe of the power possessed by Lord Grey. What then, though lie may have Lord Althorp for his right hand, and perhaps Mr. Littleton for his left, we can not forget that they are a pair of hands which have al ready disposed of one head, and may, before they are much older, dispose of another to as little advantage. It is evident, from the tone of the questions put yesterday and the day before in the House of Lords, that the Tories contemplate another chance on the Irish Coercion Bill. That measure, after all the disclosures which have taken place, does certainly stand in a most difficult position. If the Ministry persist in retaining the obnoxious clauses contrary to the avowed opinions of some of its leading members, how will they meet the House of Commons with anything like argument in their mouths ? On the other hand, if the clauses are given up, how will the other Members of the Administration meet the House of Lords, whose opinions they have professed to coincide with, as to the absolute necessity for re taining the measure in all its original force, with the exception of the courtmartial clauses ? But to-day will, probably, show us the course which thin gs are about to take in this respect. Still, however, sup posing present difficulties surmounted, we cannot hold out to, Ministers or their friends the prospect of a long continuance in office. With the exception of the Lord Chancellor, there is no one Member of the Cabinet whoselalents are of that commanding kind which is calculated to give permanency to power, and a renewed defeat of the Whigs would necessarily prepare the way for a coalition, if not for a more complete triumph of the Tories, under the mitigated form which th at p art y must assume if ever i t be their fate to return to office again.—Morning Herald. Lord Melbourne appears to have found the con struction of his Cabinet a very difficult task. At the moment at which we write we have reason to believe that no arrangements have been definitively settled ; and when we enumerate the rumours which are in circulation, we must premise that we have no ground for deeming them more than rumours. It is rumoured that Lord Althorp, after many difficulties and denials, has finally consented to -resume the Chaneellorship of the Exchequer. We have never given Lord Althorp credit for very acute sensibility to shame or very con stant recollection of self-respect ; but his return to office in these circumstances argues an insatiable vo racity of ridicule, an umplencliable passion for re proach. ['his man was the leader of the House of Commons, the right hand of Earl Gr e y' s Administra tion. He opened a confidential negotiation with one whom he has advised his Royal Master to denounce as an enemy to the public peace ; and in the course of that negotiation he sanctioned the disclosure of the yet incomplete purposes of the Cabinet, and the betrayal of the private sentiments of his colleagues. In contempt of the obligations which the success of this negotiation imposed upon him, he prepared, for the continuance of Whig supremacy, to support a measure which he considered an unnecessary violation of the principles of the Constitution. Dragged into the light by the demagogue to whom he had cringed, he stammered out a tardy confession of his meanness, and hurried away from the high office " which he could no longer hold with credit to himself or advantage to the country." We call upon Lord Althorp to say what circumstance has occurred which can remove that unfitness for political power which was apparent to the eyes of his friends before it was visible to his own. Is he not still the Statesman who denounced Mr. O'Connell as a public enemy, and courted him as a private ally ;—who condemned the provisions of the Coercion Act, and undertook to support their revival ;—who made promises so rashly and broke promises so readily that it was hard to say whether in the making or in the breaking there was the deeper sin ? Having reasons for resigning office, why does he resume it ? Having reasons for resuming office, why did he resign it ? In his own consciousness will be his punishment. Who will envy the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he shall once more " appeal to the confidence of the House,"—when he shall once more be " inaudible in the Gallery,"—when he shall again be applauded for his " excellent intentions," and greeted with acclamation upon his re-appearance as " honest Lord Althorp." It is rumoured that Lord Duncannon is to be the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and to be brought into the House of Lords. It is rumoured that Sir John Hobhouse is to take care of the Woods and" Forests, and to be brought into the House of Commons. If these appointments, or appointments at all resembling these, shall take place, what shall we think or say of Lord Melbourne ? Believing the disputed clauses of the Coercion Act to be necessary, he confers place and power on men who dispute the necessity of them. Believing that the pro fligate ambition of Mr. O'Connell has created in Ire land the disorders which warrant the application of this fearful remedy, he places in the office to which the ad ministering of the remedy principally belongs, an indi vidual who rejoices in Mr.O'Connell's friendship, who has benefitted by Mr. O'Connell's patronage. When we remember that Lord Althorp resigned office because circumstances had occurred which rendered his retention of it useless and discreditable, and that Earl Grey re signed office only because Lord Althorp had resigned it, when we perceive that the reason which induced Lord Althorp to resign office still exists, and that the reason which induced Earl Grey to resign office is removed —when we see that Lord Althorp is, nevertheless, in, and that Earl Grey is, nevertheless, out—it is impos sible not to suspect that amidst much mistake there has been some design—that amidst a heap of accident there has been a grain of intrigue. The whole affair • reflects little honour upon any of the parties who have been concerned in it. The public business has been for two weeks at a stand—the public mind has been for two weeks in a state of great anxiety. After all, what change has taken place ? Earl Grey leaves the Cabinet, and for his leaving no cause is assigned. Lord Duncannon enters the Cabinet ; and for his entering it, it will be hard to assign a cause.—Morn ing Post. Nothing has yet been made public as to the Minis terial arrangements beyond that which the Lord Chan cellor communicated to-the House of Lords last night —viz., that Lord Melbourne is in fact First Lord of the Treasury, and Lord Althorp Chancellor of the Exchequer. The rest are taken for granted. It appears that the new Prime Minister kissed hands at the Levee yesterday. The practice requiring that no occupant of a Ministerial office shall be considered out until the seals have been actually transferred to other hands, Lord Althorp, notwithstanding his ostensible resignation of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, still retains that post, and need not proceed to a new election at Northampton. We presume that for the higher office—which seems now to have become a patent one—of leader of the House of Commons, the Noble Lord has kissed the inky palm of Mr. Joseph Hume, although the Court newsman has forgotten to mention it. Being among those who generally look upon the choice of certain individual Ministers by the Crown as a pledge for the adoption of a corresponding line of policy by the Cabinet, we have been compelled to recognize also the converse of that proposition in Lord Melbourne's retention of a number of elderly gentlemen, who would not resign their places, but whose efficiency, if it extend to anything beyond the receipt of the public money, is, undoubtedly, no pledge for the liberality of their measures, but the reverse. We have already brought some of these noble place-holders before the public eye, and it is our duty to keep them there. There remains, then, but a single course for this reported Cabinet, which is, to rebuke the public dissatisfaction and despondency by giving us measures, since it has not men to offer us. Any Government which exhibits among its members a catalogue of tried and honoured names can -manage to live, for some time at least, upon credit. Its promissory paper at a year or two's date will be accepted willingly by the people ; but a house of no or of mixed character must put down cash upon the nail. Its word no man will take—its ways and means must be visible, tangible, and forthcoming. If it pay not on demand, it is at once insolvent. Such is the case with a Cabinet of " shreds and patches." It must steal a march upon authority, and silence anticipation, by the promptitude of its public measures, thus sub jugating the most powerful of all enemies—opinion, and converting it into a steadfast ally. If Lord Mel bourne's Government pursue this course,—if it satisfy the country of its eagerness to complete those correc tions of abuse, those repairs of what is defective, those purifications of what is corrupt, and curtailments of what is superfluous in the institutions, practices, and expenses of the Monarchy, little will it disturb the minds of the people of England, whether the effect has been produced by men of known and noisy, or of j humble and hitherto unaccredited, reputation. It is j in this hope, to which we would willingly, if possible, cling, and our chief encouragement to which is founded on the personal qualities of Lord Melbourne, as well as on the straits to which his position has driven him, that we are disposed to wait for a while, and see what sort of pace the noble Vis count and his colleagues will start at. The people will watch them suspiciously—the press will no doubt im partially. Lord Brougham, who lately held a very different opinion, is inclined, we see, to force a " right hand" upon Lord Melbourne, as Mr. Hume has a leader upon the Lower House. We trust that in this case the right hand " will forget its former cunning,' and leaving the disreputable paths of vacillation, retro gression, procrastination, and uncertainty, afford at least some reasonable ground for guessing what it is that Government means to do, from hearing its de clared intentions. It is said that Sir John Hobhouse has been offered, and will accept, together with a seat in the Cabinet, the Woods and Forests, vacated by Lord Duncannon. The death of that respectable ve teran, Mr. Michael Taylor, yesterday at two o'clock, has occasioned a vacancy for Sudbury, which it is ima gined Sir J. Hobhouse will certainly supply. Lord Duncannon, the new Home Secretary, is to be called to the House of Peers, it being understood that not more than two Secretaries of State can be members of the House of Commons.—Times. What is the first duty of a government in the re mission of taxes ? Assuredly to remit those which, by opening new channels of commerce, will create em ployment for the largest . quantity of labour. To these reflections we are led by the observations of some of our contemporaries, upon the alterations recently pro posed in the Custom duties by Mr. P. Thomson, and which we were the first to lay before the public. It would have been well for the country had the principles which are now acted upon at the Board of Trade guided and influenced the various reductions and al terations which have taken place in our Excise, Cus torns,•and Taxes, since the peace. In looking over the list of taxes repealed since that period, every one' must be struck by the great proportion which the taxes reduced, or repealed, .affecting the landed interest and the aristocracy, bear to those which affect industry and conamerce. Legislation appears to have followed a course exactly the reverse of that which interests the largest and most necessitous portion of the community. By far the largest portion of the reductions, previous to 1831, consist in the property tax, malt tax, and beer tax. Out of the 33,000,0001. of taxes reduced from 1814 to 1830, 23,000,0001. were produced by the three items alluded to. What do the industrious classes benefit by the repeal of the property tax, which amounted to 15,000,000/. ? How much would every labourer and artisan, every one engaged in commerce, have been benefited had the Excise been reduced that amount, or the whole of the Customs duties abolished ? What, again, does the peasant or labourer benefit by the reduction of the duties on malt and beer, if he has not employment to enable him to purchase them ? We are amongst those who have advocated the repeal of the house duty, because by its repeal great freedom will be given to the exercise of electoral rights, and this we think of the first importance, more so even than if that amount had been applied to the repeal or re duction of Customs or Excise duties. But not so the window duty, at least only in a very small degree. It is a tax which falls directly on the possessors of large houses, and theSe are not what are generally termed the industrious classes. We say, how much would the trade and commerce of the country have been improved, and how many thousands of poor families have been in regular employment, and how many thousands more would have enjoyed increased comforts, if—instead of saving the rich man the direct tax upon his property, or the country gentleman the tax upon his malt—the govern ment of that time had repealed, as they might have done, nearly all the Excise duties. Would not commerce have received an impulse that would have created employment fur thousands ? For these reasons, we say, it would have been well if the Board of Trade had been actuated by the principles which appear to predominate at the pre sent moment. Let us look at the effect of the reduc tions which have been made since 1830. Printed calicoes, coals, candles, soap, cotton wool, tiles, some of the minor assessed taxes, the house duty, and now various customs duties on oils, fruit, and coals. Can any one doubt that the interests of the industrious classes have been well consulted by the selection of the articles enumerated ? For the benefit to the calico-printers—to know the new mode of printing which has arisen since the printer was freed from all restraint, the inquirer need only consult any one from Manchester. The same again of the duty on cotton wool. That cheap light also in the dark and dreary winter months is useful and important, whether consi dered as allowing a family of the industrious artisan to pursue their avocations beyond the period allotted by day-light, or whether as giving them an opportunity to gain instruction after their daily work is finished, can not be doubted. That cleanliness will be promoted by the cheapness of soap, and health and comfort in creased, is equally clear ; and that to the southern counties, and London particularly, the repeal of the duty on coals has conferred a great advantage, no one can deny ; but still we say that the poor cannot feel the full advantage they ought to derive from all these reductions, until the shackles which now in every way surround trade are removed, and until by that means employment is more abundant. To point out this fact is the object of our calling the attention of our readers to this subject, To show the industrious classes that Government is beginning to act upon principles which by increasing trade will increase employment, is an other object we have in view. With pleasure then, do we contemplate the alterations which Mr. P. Thomson has proposed in his new Customs Bill, and in the 'Bill for the reduction of the expenses of ships entering the poet of London. The actual amount of saving by these Bills is not much, but by opening the door to extended commerce, the benefit to the country will be great. The reduction of the duty on olive-oil is very important. Our readers are not generally aware that it is very largely used in the manufacture of cloth, and that our clothiers, in consequence of its high price, have been obliged to use inferior oils, and thus produced a cloth, although equal in quality to our Continental rivals, not equal in its appearance. With respect to the boon, as it is called, to the Northern counties, in the reduction of the duty on the exportation of coals, we are surprised at the want of penetration displayed by many in their observations upon it. The Tory objects to it on Conservative principles, and feels alarmed that the stook will be exhausted, and that the manufactures of England will be destroyed. The Ultra-Radical, on the other hand, says by this measure the Whigs are throwing into the hands of foreigners the only advantage we possess, and taking from the industrious classes the only security they have for the pre-eminence of our manufactures. Now verily these are odd objections. Exhaust the stock 1 Exhaust a stock calculated to last 1,000 or 1,500 years ! This is a degree of caution we could not expect from those who spent 400,000,000/. or 500,000,000/. of national wealth in a few years ; but let us turn to the other objection which is more cal - culated to excite attention. It is equally unsound, and disappear the moment the case is examined. France has coals—Belgium has coals—Holland has coals ; and the question is whether England, having a large capital embarked in her collieries, having a very large population engaged in the coal trade, and an ex tensive 'shipping trade, and moreover plenty of coals, should not export at a moderate duty a mineral which is sure to command a trade, because it is better and cheaper than that which can be obtained near the coast of the countries alluded to. The expense of freight, duty, export and import duty, will aways secure to our manufactures sufficient protection. It is not a question whether we shall supply a country or coun tries which have no coals. They have coals; and the only consideration is, whether we shall employ our la bour, capital, and shipping, and produce a given amount of revenue by supplying foreign countries with that which we have in abundance, but which they pro duce with difficulty. To such opposition as this the present Government is, we are sorry to say, too liable —we are sorry that political feeling should prevent praise being given where it is due. We will not be• parties to such proceedings—we will censure where we think it necessary, and praise where it is due ; but, at the same time, we cannot avoid saying, that if Govern ment, impeded and thwarted as it is in the reform s it contemplates, whether in Church or State, by the House of Lords, and a very powerful body in the House of Commons, will but zealously attend to the commercial relations of the country, and thus contri bute to the employment and happiness of the people, more real and substantial good will be done than by centuries of discussion on abstract principles. W e shall call the attention of our readers in a few days to the report which has been published on the commer cial relations between France and England.—Morning Advertiser. EXTRAORDINARY TURKEY COCK.—There is at present in the possession of a lady residing in East Lothian, a Turkey-cock, who has actually batched a brood of chickens ; last season, during the period of incubation, this same bird regularly took the place of the hens when they got off their nests to feed, and when the young birds were hatched, he brotded them with the greatest care, regularly taking them under his wings during rain ; this season, however, it having been discovered that he was sitting on rotten eggs (for want it is supposed of better amusement), to humour his singular fancy, a number of common hens' eggs were given him, which he has most steadily sat on and hatched, and he is now strutting about the yard, attended by his progeny, to whose wants he is most sedulously attentive.—Edinburgh Eveniny Courant. HEROIC CONDUCT AND PRESENCE OF MIND OF A LADY.—The other day a baker's bread-cart, going along South -street, Toxteth-park, the horse, a spirited animal, took fright at a drunken man lying in the road, and sprang over a wall into an adjoining field, which uas some feet lower than the lane, where it was suspended on the one side, whilst the cart remained on the other. There were soon many collected, amongst whom were several men, yet none attempted to ex tricate it from its perilous situation ; but a young and amiable lady residing near, on observing the accident, calling to her servant for a knife, courageously went over, regardless of the horse's kicking, and by . cutting the harness let it fall to.the ground, when, after lying a few minutes (for it was nearly, strangled), it got up with little or no injury, and but slight damage to the cart. The lady received the grateful thanks of the owner for the preservation of a valuable animal. The boy who was driving also escaped uninjured. —Liverpool Albion. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1834. INTERVIEW WITH THE PATAGONIANS. ( From 4he Lircrpnol Allilon.) (iAavAcTED FRom A PRIVATE JOURNAL.) Au account of my iatervien•s with the Patagonians, and some remarks about people so little known, cannot fail of being interesting to you. I shall accordingly select from my journal a few remarks made about them while the im pressions were fresh. I commence with the 12th of January, when, being at anchor in the Straits out of the strength of the current, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, an alarm was given on deck, " A man on horseback on the shore making signals," at twelve miles distance from the vessel. I immediately got two hands in the jolly-boat, determined to ascertain what kind of a being a Patagonian Indian was, and in about half an hour arrived at the beach, where he had come to meet me, but without dismounting. His appearance was any thing but prepossessing, which made me rather cautious in my approaches. He appeared very tall, of a dark, muddy complexion, his lank, stiff, black hair falling over his neck and shoulders. At first he appeared to have spectacles on, but a nearer view undeceived me. His eyelids above and below were dyed a black colour, the same mark extend ing across the bridge of his nose. His dress consisted of nothing but a large 'guanaco skin, which enveloped his whole person except from the knee downwards, includ ing the feet, which were strapped round with something resembling parchment, to defend that part from the friction of the saddle, which was a rude imitation of the Spanish, made of wood, with bone stirrups. From a girdle which fastened the skin round his waist, there hung an English common butcher's steel, and I also discovered, just peeping out, the handle of a large knife. He, however, extended his hand, and appeared friendly. He did not evince any symptoms of alarm on my firing a pistol, which convinced me that he had seen fire-arms before, and even after I had shown him how to pull the trigger, he ventured to fire it himself, " grinning a ghastly smile" at his own prowess. In his person he was extremely filthy. I venture to say, he had never been washed since he was born. The only words of Spanish he possessed were rum and tobacco, which he was very eager for. I presented him with a handful of cigars, which he received quite as a matter of course, with out appearing the least gratified. • He made signs that, in Gregory Bay, there were plenty more Indians, so, by this time, my curiosity being gratified, I returned on board. I forgot that the horse appeared to have four ears, but on a near inspection I found they were only slit down the middle and kept separate. This I found afterwards to be a uni versal practice amongst them. 13th. Approaching Gregory Bay, I saw about six In dians on shore, also on horseback, showing pacific colours, and I again ventured amongst them, leaving the vessel un der weigh, in order to ascertain, if possible, the best anchor ing ground. There were three chiefs amongst them, who ' were also very clamorous for rum and tobacco. I distri buted amongst them a box of raisins (which they did not know the use of at first) and a couple of boxes of cigars, with which they appeared gratified. Their dress was exactly similar to the one already described, the mantles or skins of the chiefs being rather more showy. They do not appear to follow any particular rule in painting their faces, some being red, and others black, and many only partially painted, which gave them a very savage look. As regards their cleanliness they all appear pretty much upon a par, being so well covered with filth as to render it difficult to say what their legitimate colour was. They were, however, very friendly ; and, having ascertained from one, who spoke a little Spanish, the best place for anchoring, I returned on board, and proceeded onwards for five miles, where we dropped our anchor. There were at least two hundred of the natives collected there to meet us. I took a boat load of raisins and cigars, instructing the mate to bar ter with them for their skins and guanaco meat, and having ascertained from one, who spoke Spanish very fluently, that their huts were at a distance of twelve miles in the interior, and that I might safely trust myself among them, I determined not to lose the opportunity of seeing a little more of them. I accordingly provided myself with a horse, and, escorted by about a dozen of these savages, we soon gallopped over the distance. There might be about one hundred huts together, sprinkled here and there, without regard to order. Their construction is as simple as can be imagined, being nothing more than skins supported by sticks. I endeavoured to take a sketch of the one I en tered, which will be sufficient to give you an idea of the whole of them. I perceived they were very uneasy when they saw me drawing, and even forcibly took away my pen cil and paper, and they have the same unaccountable anti pathy to seeing a person write. I was soon surrounded by a tribe of men, women, and dogs. My dress and person un derwent a severe scrutiny ; but whenever the men saw that the children became intrusive or troublesome, they ordered them away. They are the greatest beggars in the uni verse, coveting everything they set their eyes upon, without apparently having any idea of parting with anything them selves. Everything I had about me I was obliged to give away, cigars, beads, buttons, penknives, &c., and was glad to escape with an entire jacket, minus the buttons. It was almost impossible to distinguish the wo men from the men ; neither had any other covering than the skills, and paint, ad libitum ; the men also being with out the usual distinguishing marks of beards or whiskers. Many of.them appeared to suffer from sore eyes. The women ride precisely as the men, and I would back them to leap a five-barred gate against any fox hunter in Eng land. Their spurs are merely two pieces of bone or wood strapped round the ankle, terminating in a sharp iron spike. Their only food is the guanaco and lion ; they have. no vegetables of any kind, nor fish. Towards evening I became anxious to be on board again, as the weather looked threatening. I had no difficulty in procuring the loan of another horse, and set out accompa nied by the same escort as before, with the addition of the Queen, who, by the bye, was in nothing distinguished from the rest, except by a common glass necklace, from which were suspended a dozen brass thimbles of a Birmingham appearance. On my arrival at the shore I found them very some. Th e C ap t a i n an d boat and inclined to be quarrel at were on shore waiting for noisy in their bartering, me, but the surf was so high, and the boat so fragile, that I was afraid to venture. The Captain, however, at length ventured, but I preferred to wait until night for the chance of the sea moderating. It, however, became worse at nine, and seeing there was no chance of getting on board that night, I made up my mind to return to the huts, rather than remain on the beach all night. There being no spare horse, I mounted behind one of the Pata genial:ls, and, as you may imagine, had a very uncomfortable ride. When we were about three-fourths of the way, he separated from his companions, and dismounted at a bush. He then attempted to - feel in all my pockets, which I re sisted, and having left the beaten track a considerable dis tance, I, began to be rather alarmed at his proceedings, and fired one of my pistols in the air, which made him fall down on his face with fright, and after losing at least half an hour, he was at length induced to proceed, talking angrily all the time something I could not understand. I supposed him to take my pocket-handkerchief and gloves, although he had not'the least idea of the use of the latter. On reaching the huts, I crept into the first I came to, in spite of the resistance made to my entry by the dogs, and covering my self as well as I could with some skins I found near me, I slept tolerably well, but knew nothing of the inmates until next morning, when I found them to consist of an old couple, five or six grown up children, and fifteen dogs. In eyery hut there is about the same number of these animals : they are used hunting the guanacos. These people were exceedingly kind and respectful to me, giving me a good breakfast of boiled guanacos. The liver, breast, and brains are entirely raw, the rest they broil. They consider the blood of the young ones a great luxury, sucking it from a vein they open for the purpose. During the greater part of the night it had rained, and it blew so violently the next day, that I saw it would be of no use my going to the coast, as the surf would not permit a boat to approach the shore ; consequently, I remained in the hut, keeping myself as much out of the way as possible, until the evening, when it cleared up. After great delay and difficulty, I procured another horse, and started with the escort of two of the men. We had proceded about a mile when we met a chief, w h o , it appeared, had been on board all night, and had only just been able to effect a landing. He suffered from sea sickness, and was out of humour with the vessel, with me, and everything. He opposed my progress by seizing hold of my bridle, saying, " Manana," which was all the Spanish he m uster. The two th a t were w ith me rema i ned pas sive, I saw pl a i n ly th a t th ey did not approve of the cue l'dconduct of their chief. I showed them I was deter minedneither party r ssyl lable, alter cation, to go on board that night, even if I went on foot, and lable,l and d forw words d th s aotf which purpose. n eh found out that he wa s di scon t en t e d b ecause the cap tain had refused to redeliver to him his skin, whi c h h e had exchanged with me the p rev i ous d ay f or an equ i va l ent i n di s mounted a After e r a r ty great understood deal ot o ofd a y cigars and treacle , and, I suppose, wanted to detain me as a kind of hostage. I manag e d t o ma k e hi m un d ers t an d that it should be returned to him on conditi on th a t h e wo uld allow me to proceed , to which they consented, after some hesitation. It . was nearly dark when I reached the vessel. There were about thirty poor wretches on the beach, who had passed the whole of that tempestuous night there, for the mere pleasure of looking at the vessel, or in the hope of getting some rum. They had neither shelter nor any thing to eat. On the 14 th we set sail, and anchored for the night near Elizabeth Island. I landed in hopes of shooting some ducks, but was unsuccessful ; we got, however, some muscles and limpets, which were very acceptable. We saw the land distinctly on both sides : the distant mountains were covered with snow. There were two or three fires on the Patagonian side, made, - no doubt by Indians, but they were too distant to go there. As regards the stature of these people, of which so much has been said, I found there was much exaggeration. They are, upon the whole, per baps, rather taller than EiJropeons 7ener?.lly, - 1 - I c?,n - their height, a t fi rst appeara n ce , is very This is, in a great measure, owing to their dress, which t-uls to lend them an additional height. I measured one of them, a remarkable well-made man, round his naked chest, and found him exactly 3 feet 8 inches. They wear no covering to their heads. They use a lasso, with heavy leaden balls at one end, which, when whirled at the animal they are pursuing, are entangled with its legs, and it be comes an easy prey. The only religious observance (if it may be called so) which I observed, was on the rising of the moon, when the man who was before me on horseback began a chant, or rather a howl, frequently pointing at it and making extrava gant gestures. The captain told me he had observed the same demeanour in the chief, when on board, in a still more marked degree. He sang, accompanying himself with the most violent gesticulations of the body. When a death occurs amongst them, they sacrifice a horse, and howl in a particular tone for months afterwards. Of this I had a specimen during the night I spent with them. They have no marriage ceremony, and polygamy is allowed. One chief was pointed out to me, who had seven wives ; others have one, two, three, or more, according to their means of supporting them. Guanacos, lions, foxes, and dogs appear to be the only animals amongst them on which they depend for subsistance. They are continually changing their place of residence ; regulating their stay by the abundance or scarcity of guanacos. There are several tribes roving in this manner, but, being generally on hostile terms, they seldom mix together. By some means or other they have possessed themselves of an empty nail barrel. This they carry about with them wherever they go, although being closed at both ends and empty, it can be of no possible use to them. This will give you an idea of their simplicity and barbarous state. The soil appears to be sufficiently fertile for the production of potatoes and other vegetables, but, as I said before, they have nothing of the kind. The climate at this season (the summer) is delightful—fresh, evigorating, English April we a th er . Th ey h ave a strong cast of th Chinese features, particularly their ey es an d nose, which convinces me of the truth of the hypothesis that America was originally peopled from Asia, overland or across the channel to the northward by canoes ; that they gradually peopled North America thence spreading though Mexico, Guatamala, Peru, Chili, and finally reach ing the extreme south of the continent, viz., Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. 20th. We have made little progress since last date. The appearance of the country has now become extremely beautiful and picturesque—well wooded and covered with verdure. The only traces of Indians we have lately seen was two days ago, about siz .miles to the eastward of Port Famine. We saw a hut by itself, very much resembling a beehive, at a distance, and, as I had nothing else to do while the vessel supplied herself with wood and water, I determined to pay it a visit, taking my gun with me. The road was very difficult of access, being along a precipitous and cliff) , coast, and before I had reached half way, I was inclined to give it up ; but, as it was becoming dusk, and as I should have been in danger of breaking my neck if caught by the darkness, I found myself compelled to the al ternative of pushing forward in hopes of procuring shelter for the night at the hut. It took me four hours to arrive there. On my approach, I made amicable signs, which were answered in a corresponding manner by the Indians. Their appearance differed from those of Gregory Bay only in their being more scantily clad, without paint, and alto gether of a more miserable appearance. They had no horses, but a canoe made of twigs covered with the wild bark of trees. They had likewise bows and arrows, with which they intimated that they killed the guanacos. The barb end of the arrow was made exactly in the same man ner, and of the same material (obsidian) as those of the ancient Mexicans, only rather smaller. No signs of meat met my anxious eye. The only thing I saw them eating was a root resembling our horseradish, to which they helped themselves freely out of a large leather tub, using the only knives and forks which nature has provided ; but I could not touch it, hungry as I was. We kept up a blazing fire of wood in the middle ofthe hut all night, which left, of course very little space for us to lie in, the hut being only about nine feet in diameter, and about six feet high in the centre. Besides the two Indians, there were two dogs. We all managed to stow ourselves somehow or other, but being roasted on one side and frozen on the other, I could ob tain no sleep. I waited till nine o'clock, hoping to see some signs of breakfast, but none appearing,,l set out as empty as I came, Before I had advanced three-fourths of the way, I was quite exhausted, and unable to move a step further. After a short - rest, I fortunately bethought my self of a sea bird that I had shot the day before, and, on finding it, contrived to make a fire. I wrenched off one of the legs with difficulty, and placing it in the blazing embers, it was soon black enough for eating. I did not notice if it was fishy, but no doubt it was. This, with a draught of fresh water at a rivulet, and an hour's sleep, enabled me to proceed,. I reached the vessel at three o'clock, in a miserable plight, but a good dinner of fresh fish soon put me to rights. The only ornaments I observed about the Indians of the beehive, was a string round the waist of one of them, to which were suspended half-a dozen brass buttons of different sizes. The only thing about them which I envied were their beautifully white and regular teeth ; but I turned away in disgust, when I saw them eat with apparent gusto the very vermin they picked from their persons or skins. Wild celery grows in abundance in particular spots ; also a kind of berry like the hawthorn, but without taste. Fish of a small kind are to be caught throughout the Straits with a net, or hook and line. 26th. We have had six canoes alongside since we left Port Famine, generally containing from three to five per sons, three dogs, and a fire in the middle. Their huts are generally on the side of Tierra del Fuego. I thought some scenes amongst the Mexican Leperos bad enough, but they are Romans compared with these. Such poor misera ble objects I thought nowhere existed. Only picture to yourself, less than half-clad beings, as ugly as monkeys, with a coat of dirt upon them of their own age, eating pieces of raw porpoise, and keeping up such a clamour and noise of different kinds, as to resemble a congregation of the brute creation rather than human beings. They are nothing like so well proportioned as those of Gregory Bay, and are rather diminutive of stature than otherwise. I don't think any of them arrive at old age, for I do not re collect having seen among any of the tribes we have met, with a single grey-headed individual. I could not ascer tain the age of any of them, as they have no idea of years ncr the divisions of time. Their addiction to spirits is very much to be deplored, for it leads them into every kind of excess, and reduces them to a s t ate o f madness while under its operation. Their manner of smoking is extremely dis gusting. They like the strongest black tobacco, which they pulverize and put into a pipe ; it is ten times stronger than our cigars. They then take a long draw, and then another, without allowing a particle of the first draught to escape ; they inhale these into the stomach : the same with a third, and even a fourth. By this time they are almost senseless ; they stretch themselves on the ground with their faces downwards, drawing their skin or mantle over their heads and shoulders, and put every muscle of the body in motion, as if to work the smoke into every vacuum which it can penetrate. Two American missionaries had been residing two months with a tribe, but went away as wise as they came, neither of them knowing a word of Spanish, which is the only means of communicating with them ; so that the Indians, to this day, do not know what their object was in staying with them. I regret I had not another opportunity of speaking with the only intelligent one who spoke Spanish. They have no skins of sufficient consequence to make them an object of barter. They are of the guanacos and the lion, the latter are very small and worthless. Towards Cape Pillar a few seal skins may be picked up amongst them. H. F. P. ON BEING STUNG BY A WASP.—How small things may annoy the greatest ? Even a mouse troubles an elephant, a gnat a lion, and a flea may disquiet a giant. What weapon can be nearer to nothing than the sting of this wasp ? Yet what a visible point it envenoms, rankles, and swells up the flesh. The tenderness of the part adds much to the grief. If I be thus vexed with the touch of an angry fly, how shall I be able to endure the sting of a tormenting conscience.—Bishop Hall. BLANCHING SEA-KALE.—Without blanching, sea-kale would not be at all palatable ; and for this purpose the crown of the roots is covered with six or eight inches of pure sand, through which the stems may come forth. But it is now found that it may be blanched by other mea ns , suc h as m erely excluding the young shoots from light by any kind of covering. Large flower-pots whelmed over the crowns an swer well ; and if these be covered with hot dung it forces and blanches the roots at the same time. This plant is also easily forced by being planted in pots placed in a hot-house, or even in a warm kitchen, having a pot of the same size whelmed over.—Catechism of Gardening. ANECDOTE OF GEORGE THE TIIIRD.—The autumn of the year was memorabl e f or t h e commencement o f the first illness of his Majesty George 111., by which the Re gency question was brought into agitation. The reader will perhaps ask with surprise, w h at connexion Mrs. S i ddons ' s name could have with the afflicting event of the royal malady ? It had only this connexion, that she was the first person who ob served in the royal personage grounds to suspect his mental aberration. The king, like all his subjects, thought her talents an ornament to his reign, and he had a profound and cordial regard for her personal character. She was often at Bucking_ ham House and at Windsor. But, when she was on a visit to the latter palace, his Majesty one day handed her a s h eet o f paper, that was bl an k a ll b ut t h e s i gna ture of his name. She judged too highly both of her sovereign and herself to believe that, in his right mind, he could show such extraordinary con duct ; and the event proved the justice of her conclusion. She immediately took the paper to the queen, who was duly grate ful for this di gn ifi e d p ro of of her discretion.— Thomas Camp bell: Life of Mrs. Siddons. IMPERIAL PARLIA ROUSE OF LORDS, July 16; Lord GRAY, of Kinfauns Castle, Perthshire, took tbi oaths and his seat. ESTABLISHED CHURCH. Petitions were presented in favour of the Established Church by Lord Rolle, Lord Feversham, Lord Harewoodt and Lord Cloncurry. LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BILL. A lengthened discussion took place as to when the House should proceed with the second reading of this Bill, which was postponed to Tuesday next at the suggestion of the Duke of Wellington. THE MINISTRY. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to ask the Noble Lord on the woolsack when it was intended that the third reading of the Coercion Bill should take place whether it was likely to take place before Monday next ? The LORD CHANCELLOR said, at the time he left the Palace his Noble Friend now at the head of bit Majesty's Government had not kissed hands upon his el) - pointment owing to an accident—but he had no doubt he had done so at the time he was then speaking. The Go vernment was now formed, and his Noble Friend at the head of it would be in his place to-morrow, and would point out the course he intended to pursue, and answer ant questions the Noble Lord might put to him. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to knout if the late Chancellor of the Exchequer was still to be the right hand of the Administration, notwithstanding the state* ments which had been made a few days since by the Noble Earl, late at the head of his Majesty's Administra tion. The Duke of RICHMOND rose to order. He con sidered the Noble Marquis could not ask the question be had put. The House of Commons had adjourned till to morrow, and it was unfair to prejudge his conduct ; be (the Duke of Richmond) was sure his Noble Friend woUla, be able to expl a i n sat i s f actor il y to-morrow.--(Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought that a' the Noble Lord on th e W oo l sac k h a d g i ven one piece 0 2 information with respect to the Government, that Ile might be asked to give another. (Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR could not agree voth• the last inference drawn by the Noble Marquis.—(Lauglr ter.) He had, h owever , no h es i tat i on i n say i ng t h a t Ins Noble Friend was still Chancellor of the Exehequer.- -- (Hear.) He agreed entirely with his Noble Friend* that in whatever Administration his Noble Friend the . Chancellor of the Exchequer was—he must be—the right hand of that administration ; he (the Lord Chancellor) could not fancy any Administration in this country.* i e which that Noble Lord took part, without his being th e right hand of it. Lord ELLENBOROUGH concurred entirely in the sentiments of the Noble Duke (Richmond), that 'in the ab sence of the Noble Viscount at the head of the Govern' ment, it was not expedient to make the observatia° 6 which had fallen from the Noble Marquis. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY could assure the House, that his sole motive was to endeavour to ttsee` - ', tain the fact. He also wished to know whether, i n coy. sequence of the re - appo i n t ment o f t h e Noble Lord, would have to present himself before the electors of 'North' amptonshire. He (the Noble Marquis) apprehending that he . would, inasmuch as he had resigned the situation to whiel l • he was appointed, and having stated in his place in the f . House of Ccmmons that the Government was virtuallY dissolved. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it ris 6. perfectly true that the Noble Viscount (Althorp) had re' signed, but it was equally true that that resignation wal never accepted until a re-appointment. With respect to the statement that the Government was dissolved, the Nob Marquis was in a complete error. His Noble Friel' (Lord Althorp) had not stated that the Government ir o dissolved, but what he stated was, that at the time he $ O. addressing the House, he had no doubt the Noble Earl A t the head of his Majesty's Government would have s tated is another place Government was dissolved ; that, however, their Lordships were aware, was not the case, and % stated by the Noble Lord (Althorp) upon misinfcirmatioa The LORD CHANCELLOR then took his seat at the tabl!' and proceeded to hear counsel in a part-heard appeal.

She had been used to speak to animated clay; but she now felt as if she had been speak to stones.

A t l ast, as I well remember, she told me slie coiled up her powers to the most emphatic possible utterane,r of one passage, having previously vowed in her heart, that this could not touch the Scotch, she would never again nr° i° the Tweed. When it was inished, she paused, and looked the audience. The deep silence was broken only by a sing. voice exclaiming, " That's no bad! " This ludicrous parse' mony of praise convulsed the Edinburgh audience with laughte r ; But the laugh was followed by such thunders of applause, that amidst her stunned and ner vous ag it a ti on , s h e was not w i t boa' fears of the galleries coming down. —Brighton Guardian. _,,„!
