" This is an instructive volume for the youthful student, intended as a Supplement to Pinnock's Grecian, Roman, and English Histo ries. The first half of the volume is occupied with the primaeval and classical periods ; in which the author has particulary directed his attention to those branches of history on which school-books are frequently deficient, although directly illustrative of the general course of study. Among these topics may be instanced, the histories of the Persians and Carthagenians, the antagonists and rivals,. of Greece and Rome. In the modern division, especial attention is paid to the French system, and the Crusades, and afterwards to the English empire in India, and British commerce in general. Thin follows a series of British Biography, and, in conclusion, a view of the British Constitution. Prefixed to the volume is a union map, exhibiting, in one sheet, the ancient divisions of the world in reds and the modern in black, an ingenious and very useful plan."--e- Gentleman's Magazine.

HANOVER, JULY 30.—The Hanoverian Gazette gives the following extract of a letter from Liebenstein of July 17 : The anxiety for the arrival of the Queen was very great. At last, on Sunday, the 13th, positive news came that her Majesty would arrive that evening at seven o'clock. On the frontiers at Salzemgen, she was received by the ma gistrates under a fine triumphal arch, and expected by numbers of persons who had followed our Court in carriages and on horseback. About seven o'clock, a bustle among the people who crowded the avenue announced her Majesty's arrival. First rode the peasantry in their holyday clothes, after them the citizens of Salzemgen, with flags and music, then a coach and four with some English gentlemen, and the coach and six in which was the Queen, with the young Duchess. The Queen almost precipitated herself out of the carriage to throw herself, bathed in tears, into the arms of her mother, who long held her embraced; both of them had at that moment certainly forgotten all that surrounded them. Not an eye re mained dry. The Queen remained some minutes alone with her mother, and then stepped into the balcony, where she was welcomed with the most joyous acclamations, and saluted the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge across the street, who had waited for her arrival in the same house in which we were, in order not to interrupt the first meeting of her Majesty with her mother. The Duke and Duchess now went over, and remained with the Queen till late in the evening. The Duchess, her Majesty's mother, had resolved quietly to wait up stairs, in her own apartment, for the arrival of the Queen, in order not to manifest her feelings ; but her impatience to see her daughter brought her down stairs, and she seated her self on a bench under the gateway till the carriage drove up. The Queen dines so-day at Altenstein, with the Duke and family.—Frankfort Papers, July 25. rfIAIT'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE for August.

PORTER, THE ACTRESS.-- Her history inspires regret. With a character not only un questioned, but marked by the noblest traits of generosity, she had to ply her profession for many years on the stage when she was absolutely a cripple. The cause of her lameness de serves honourable mention. On a summer evening, when she was taking the air in a one-horse chaise, having with her, ac cording to custom, a brace of pistols, to defend her against robbery, a highwayman came up and demanded her money. She levelled one of her pistols at him ; the assailant imme diately changed his tone to supplication, told her his name and the abode of his starving family, and appealed to her compas sion so strongly that she gave him ten guineas out of her purse. He left her, and she lashed her horse to go on, but the animal started out of his track, upset the chaise, and caused her by the fall to dislocate her hip joint. Notwithstanding all the pain and loss which the man had thus occasioned to her, she inquired into his circumstances, and finding that lie had told her the truth, she raised sixty pounds among her acquaintance, and sent it to the relief of his family. She was so much injured by the ac cident, that in acting Elizabeth in The Rival Queens, she had to support herself on a crutched cane ; but she turned even that circumstance to advantage ; for after signing Mary's death warrant, she expressed her agitation by striking the stage with her cane so violently as to draw bursts of applause. When she could act no longer in consequence of her lameness, she had to subsist upon charity. Dr. Johnson paid her a visit some years before her death. She was then so wrinkled that he said a picture of old age in the abstract might have been taken from her countenance.— Campbell's Life of Mrs Siddons. TERRIFIC VOLCANIC ERUPTION AT ST. YIN , CENT'S.—Scarcely had the day closed when the flames burst at length pyramidically from the crater through the smoke ; the rolling of the thunder became more awful and deafening. Shortly after 7 P.M. the mighty cauldron was seen to simmer, and the ebullition of lava to break forth on the N. W. side. This, immediately after boiling over the orifice, and flowing a short way, was opposed by the acclivity of a higher point of land, over which it was impelled by the immense tide of liqui fied fire that drove it on, forming the figure V in grand illu mination. Sometimes when the ebullition slackened, or was insufficient to urge it over the obstrueting hill, it recoiled back like a refluent billow from the rock, and then again rushed for ward, impelled by fresh supplies, and scaling every obstacle, car rying rocks and woods together in its course down the slope of the mountain, until it precipitated itself down some vast ravine, concealed by the intervening ridges of Morne Ronde. Vast globular bodies of fire were seen projecting from the fiery fur nace, and bursting, fell back into it, or over it, on the sur rounding bushes, which were instantly set in flames. About four hours from the lava's boiling over the crater, it reached the sea, as we could observe from the reflection of the fire and the electric flashes attending it. About half-past one another stream of lava was seen descending to the eastward. The thundering noise of the mountain, and the vibration of sound, that had been so formidable hitherto, now mingled in the sul len monotonous roar of the rolling lava, became so terrible that dismay was almost turned to despair. At this time the first earthquake was felt : this was followed by showers of cinders, that fell with the hissing noise of hail, during two hours. This dreadful rain of stones and fire lasted upwards of an hour, and was again succeeded by cinders from three till six in the morn ing. Earthquake followed earthquake almost momentarily, or rather the whole of this part of the island was in a state of continued oscillation ; not agitated by shocks, vertical or hori zontal, but undulated like water shaken in a bowl. The break of day, if such it could be called, was truly terrific. Darkness only was visible at eight o'clock, and the birth of May dawned like the day of judgment. —From Montgomery Martin s His- tory ,ef the British Colonies, Vol. IL, West Indies. COURT CIRCULAR.

OPENING of the NEW PIER at GRAVESEND, Yesterday being the day appointed for opening the new pier at this place . the steam-boats from London were crowded with visiters and other persons interested in the ceremony, and by twelve o'clock the town of Gravesend was filled with a dense mass of persons in eager expectation of the approaching sight. It seemed as if the whole neighbourhood had poured out its population for the occasion, in concert with the strangers from the metropolis and more distant parts ; every street and avenue to the pier was crowded with anxious spectators, and the river itself was covered with steamers and craft of every size and description, and presented a scene of the most ani mated and pleasing kind. The Mayor and Corporation, the Committee, the members of the Pier Company, the parochial authorities, the clergy, the military and naval officers of the town and its vicinity, the country gentry, and the principal in habitants of the town, ware assembled at an early hour at the Town-hall, and being marshalled according to their respective ranks and orders, proceeded exactly as the church clock struck one to the pier, in procession, which was at once interesting and imposing. Among those who formed this procession we observed the High Steward, the Earl of Darnley ; R. P. Cruden, Esq., the Mayor of Gravesend ; W. Eagle, Esq., ' Major Kelly, the Com mandant of Tilbury Fort, the Mayor of Rochester, Alder man Baker; G. F. Young, Esq., M. P. ; the Rev. Dr. Joynes, Colonel Graddon, Colonel Middleton, &c., with a host of others whose names it is impossible to enumerate. The bells of the church rang a merry peal, and repeated discharges of small pieces of ordnance increased the effect and added to the vivacity of the occasion. The pier, which is f orme d o f iron and timb er , an d w hi c h i s so contrived, being supported on 12 Tuscan columns, from the tops of which the springs of arches 40 feet in expansion are thrown, that no obstruction is caused to the stream of the river, and no obstacle is created by which any accumulation of sand or mud can be col lected, is the work of Mr. Tierney Clark, who is already, known to the public as the architect under whose directions the bridge at Hammersmith and the pier at Shoreham were con structed: The corporation and their friends, after performing the ceremony of proclaiming the opening of the pier, er,41)..,_ on board the Mercury steamer, which was in attendance, and proceeded on an excursion to Old Haven, and returned to the pier about 4 o'clock. The company, amounting to upwards of 150 persons, then sat down to a splendid dinner, the tables for which were laid on the pier itself, under an immense awning of flags of all nations and natures, and the band of the Artillery, from Woolwich,,was in attendance, to increase the conviviality of the day. Nothing could have been better contrived or ma naged ; everybody seemed pleased and satisfied. The dis cordant interests which in November last, when the first stone was laid, conflicted almost in open warfare, were composed and lulled to perfect amity and concord. The watermen have at last discovered that their interests are correspondent with the interests of their fellow-to wnsmen , and that the gen era l prosperity of Gravesend will ultimately, and indeed imme diately, tend to their welfare. In the evening several barges were moored off the front of the pier for an exhibition of fire works, water rockets, &c. The pier is itself 160 feet in length, and has two sets of stairs for landing; it is about 25 or 30 feet in breadth. On what is called the "T " head, or transverse cross at the extremity of it, a bell and a clock are to be supported on handsome columns, which will add greatly to the beauty of the whole, and be most useful adjuncts to the building. The "T " head itself is supported on 18 co lumns. It must not be passed over in noticing the opening of this pier, that on th e same d ay a smaller edifice for similar purposes, though on a construction totally different, being built entirely of timber, was opened at Greenhithe, amidst the miniature ceremonies which imitated the opening of the larger pier, and by their effect added their portion of gaiety to the general appearance of the river and neighbourhood.

VIENNA, JULY 17.—An English courier has arrived from London, and a Russian courier has been dispatched from St. Petersburgh. This exchange of couriers seems to be occa sioned by the new embarrassments which are arising in the East. It is not at all clear what the English Cabinet means, and people are of opinion that it is much ado about nothing. It would be venturing too far to believe the statements of the French and English journals on the object of the English and French squadrons in the Mediterranean, for it is easier said than done to pass through the Dardanelles, and take a position in the Bosphorus against the will of the Porte, The people at London and Paris must know very little of the strength of the works lately added to the castles of the Dardanelles, if they fancy it is an easy matter to force the passage into the .channel. Here, where we are better acquainted with the defensive works which protect the Dardanelles, we are convinced that an attempt to force the passage would not only be attended with great danger and loss, but that it might be entirely defeated, if the defence were ably conducted. However mean an opinion may be entertained of the Turkish soldiers, every body knows that they show un common bravery and perseverance behind the slightest defensive works. It must, however, be assumed, that if a hostile attack on the Dardanelles were intended, (which nobody acquainted with the political relations of Eu rope can believe) it must be directed not against the Porte alone but also against Russia, which would naturally impose on that power the duty of hasterAng to assist the Porte and take part in the defence of the Dardanelles. Under such circum stances skilful and brave officers would be given to the Turkish troops, who might prove that it is not so easy as it was on a former occasion to force an entrance into the channel. How ever, no such experiment will be made for whatever the jour nals may say of the intentions of the two naval powers, they are too prudent to expose themselves to the dangerous chances of a general war by an aggression which nothing has been done torovoke. VIENNA, JULY 18.—An express has brought this morning the news of the change of the English Ministry. We were not prepared for it, and there was much agitation on 'Change. The funds fell considerably, though it was known that Lord Melboiume was commissioned to form a new Ministry.

Some days ago a little boy, aged 10 years, was brought by she parish officers of Aldgate before two Aldermen, for the purpose of being bound apprentice to Mr. Bolton, a chimney sweeper of very good character in the city of London. The child had been a regular workhouse babe, the mother being long in her grave, and the father having so far forgotten his boy as never to have made any visits or inquiries about him which were known to the parish officers. The consent of the parish was all that was esteemed necessary upon the occasion, and the boy expressed himself well pleased with the experi ment he had made of the art of ascending, as well as with the change of dress, aliment, and general appearance, and was bound accordingly. No sooner, however, had the forms been completed than a cobbler entered the justice-room and asto nished the parish officers, the mast er c hi mney - sweeper, and the new apprentice himself, by claiming the boy as his son. The man declared that his son should never be used as a broom, particularly up a chimney, and reprobated the conduct of the parish officers in taking advantage of his absence, to make a complete d-1 of the bov. The parish officers asked what place the man came from, and how it happened that he had never shown himself before? Shown myself, said the newly-made parent, why should I? Wasn't it enough for me to be supporting out of my poor means the boy's sister, and while I was in the country to see her, off you lug my poor boy to be mopped up and down a dirty flue for a morsel of victuals ! The overseer said that the man was a perfect stranger, and turning to the boy, who was staring at the person who claimed him, asked him whether he knew his own father ? " Yes," replied the boy, " my father was a man as lived in Backchurch-lane, but I a'nt seed him a long while." Overseer.—" Is that your father ?" Boy.—" Not a bit of it. I never seed that ere gentleman before with my eyes. I'm sure he arn't no father of mine. The ALDERMAN asked the boy whether he had now any ob jection to the trade which he had chosen? " Not a bit of it," said the boy, " I likes it more nor ever, tothere's nothing like getti ng as hi gh as the tiles without nobody help you." The ALDERMAN said that if the cobbler peristed in claiming the boy as his son, he must apply to the magistrates of the county, the workhouse of Whitechapel being the place from which the child had been sent to be bound into the City. The Complainant accordingly applied to the authorities of the county, and yesterday he again appeared at the Mansion house to request that his son might be restored to him. Alderman COPELAND ( who sat for the Lord Mayor) having been informed of the strange particulars, asked the complainant why he had never exhibited the least care about the poor boy, until the binding had taken place ? Complainant—Because I've been obliged to bring up his sister. Here she is ; and I defy any one to say they an't like one another; and if they an't both like me, I an't a living man. When I went for him they made a sweep of him. The Aldgate Overseer said he was convinced that the cobbler was no more the father of the boy than he was himself, and that the Magistrates of Lambeth -street seemed to have entertained the same opinion, for they had refused to interfere. The cob bler, no doubt, took advantage of the accidental resemblance. Complainant —I have plenty of work in my own trade for the boy, who is no other man's son ; and what will he have now when he is out of his time ? Nothing but a break-up. He'll be nothing but a vagabond. What good will he be able to do in a chimney when he grows up ? Mr. Bolton. —He'll have 101. or perhaps 15/. to go to ano ther trade when he grows up. The Aldgate Overseer.—lf I wanted to put my son to a chimney_sweeper, this is the man I'd put him to. Alderman COPELAND.—I have no ground for cancelling the indentures. There has been no trick used that I can see, and if the complainant is the father, he has a c t e d very un li ke a fa ther in neglecti ng hi s c hil d for 10 years, and then suddenly starting up with the feelings of nature strongly upon him on this occasion. I think that whatever be the fact, and I have no means of ascertaining, the boy will be much better under the care of this chimney_sweeper, however unpopular the trade may be, than under that of a person subject to such extraordi nary forgetfulness. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday two notorious prostitutes, named Ann Smith (a second Lady Barrymore), and Sarah Butler, were brought before Mr. BROUGHTON, from the parish of Stoke Newington, in consequence of having for weeks past nightly annoyed the inhabitants by their iniquitous proceedings. Police -sergeant Mellish stated that about 12 o'clock he was sent for to assist in taking the prisoner Smith into custody, for none of his men dare attempt to take her alone. On arriving at the spot he found that most of the inhabitants had been dis turbed out of their beds by the obscene language made use of by the prisoners, who were both disgustingly drunk. Mr. BROUGHTON—Which of the two do you think is the greatest blackguard ? Sergeant (smiling)—lt is impossible to say ; yet, if there is a shade of difference, it is in favour of Butler. Smith, when drunk, is a terror to the neighbourhood. She has repeatedly attempted to stab our officers, and my belief is that she will do it some day or another. Smith—(assuming a contemptuous look)—What will you say next ? Serjeant Mellish —After I thought I had got secure hold of lira, a~ii v, as conveying her to the stanon-nouse, Aie - managou to escape from me and run off towards the canal bridge, where, seeing me close upon her, she threw herself on the grass and set me at defiance. Determined, whatever the consequences might be, to make her my prisoner, I at last succeeded, but not without being severely kicked by her and bit in my finger, a piece of which she actually bit out. Mr. BROUGHTON—There must have been some mistake when she was born ; she was never intended for a female. Serjeant Mellish —No ; for when drunk she is a savags. Smith—The truth is you have taken a dislike to me. Your Worship, I can get a 'good character from the matron of the prison I was last in. Mr. BROUGHTON—Because when in prison you were deprived of gin, which destroys all the senses. It is well known that Lady Baarymore, whom every one recollects, was not sober one month out of twelve, and yet no woman could behave better when sober. The prisoners were both committed to hard labour in the House of Correction for one month each. The prisoner Smith, on leaving the bar, muttered some threatening language to the serjeant, upon which the Magis trete called her back, and told her that, on leaving the prison, if -she dared to lay a hand on him, he would order her to find good bail. THE NIAGARA WHIRLPOOL. This whirlpool, which is several miles below the fall, is one of those scenes which is too grand for description. Instances of accidents there, can best convey an idea of the horrors of that dreadful abyss. The whirlpool is a large deep basin, and in which the mighty waters of St. Lawrence revolve in one per petual whirl, caused by their being obstructed by an angle of the deep and dreary banks which overhang this dreadful place. The whirlpool, like the falls, has frequently caused the loss of human life—one instance of which I will here relate : " Mr. Wallace, the blacksmith, had a son, a fine youth, of whom he was exceedingly proud; and the lad one day went down to the whirlpool--and the current proving too strong for him, be was carried into the whirl. His poor distracted mother sat on the gloomy banks hours and days, and beheld the body of her own darling child carried round in a circle by the waters, sometimes disappearing for a time, and then coming up and revolving on the surface of his watery grave, and thus continuing for several days—no human aid being available even to obtain his remains. An acquaintance, who resides at the whirlpool, informed me, that in the course of five or six days, bodies which get into this dismal cauldron are carried down the river. It is usual for persons rafting timber from places between the falls and the whirlpool, to get off the raft before they c ome t o th e b as i n , fi rst p l ac i ng t h e raft in such a position as may best enable it to float down the stream with out being carried into the whirl. On one occasion, however, one of the raftsmen refused to leave the raft ; he was not afraid—all would go safe—entreaty was unavailing, and the raft, with the unfortunate headstrong man upon it, made its way downwards, and was soon drawn within the fatal circle, around which for three days and three nights, it continued to revolve ; all the efforts of a thousand anxious spectators proved unavailing. The continual and sickening motion he under.. went robbed the poor sufferer of all power to eat—sleep he could not ; a dreadful death was before his eyes, so much the more terrible that it was protracted night after night in such a place. At last a man was found, who ventured into the whirl, as far as he could with hopes of life—a strong rope being tied round his middle, one end of which was on shore. He carried with him a line to throw to the raft—succeeded ; the agonised sufferer fastened it to the raft; and in this way he was drawn on shore, and his life preserved."—Men and Manners in America. AGRICULTURAL RELIEF.—It is impossible that the Chancellor of the Exchequer could have given any relief to the agriculturists equal to that which they will derive, in all probability, from the passing of the Bill for amending the Poor Laws. lIQUIRY INTO THE CARNAGE AT BALLREAGH I —The labours of the Court, at which Lord Kenmare pre sided in Listowel, for four days, ended on Friday, after the fullest investigation into all the circumstances as to the cause, progress, and loss of lives in the murderous affray at Ballyeagh, near Ballybunnion, and of the means adopted to apprehend the offenders.

MONKEYS CROSSING A ItivEß.—There are a tribe of monkeys in Trinid a d w h o h ave a great aversion to wa ter, and if obliged to cross a narrow stream, they climb a t re e near the bank, and form a chain by hanging from the tails of each other; the whole string of animals then swing backwards and forwards, until the lowest, to whom the post of honour has been assigned, alights on the opposite bank, and pulls over, by the aid of the " tail," his companions on the tree and bank. Thi s s i ngular operation is carried on amidst ter. rible howling, and with the most frightful cries and grimaces. —From Montgomery Martin's Ilisiory of the British Colo nies, Vol. 11.
