STANDARD NOVELS.—TO this series of dis tinguiihed works," The Water Witch" has just been added, with a propriety which cannot be questioned. " The Water Witch" is one of Cooper's happiest productions ; its plot is at once ingenious and full of spirit, while its nautical descriptions glow with all that freshness, variety, and teeming originality, which won for him the proud desig. nation of the Scott of marine subjects. So naturally, powerfully, or picturesquely are the ocean scenes depicted in this felicitous work, that one can recur to them again and again. GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. The following are notes of a paper, recently read before this Society, on the present state of the Pitcairn islanders. As the public have not ceased to take a great interest in the little colony of Pit cairn's Island, though no account of its proceedings has been published since that given in the narrative of Captain Beechey's voyage, the following extracts, from official documents regarding it, will probably be found interesting : they are from a private journal, k€pt by the Hon. Capt. Waldegrave, who visited the island in his Majesty's ship Seringapatanz, in 1830, shortly before its inhabitants were induced to emigrate to Otaheite; and also from a despatch addressed to the Lieutenant-Governor of New South Wales by Captain Sandilands, of his Majesty's sloop Comet, who was employed to remove them. "Pitcairn's Island, March, 1830. " We arrived here," says Captain Waldegrave, " on Monday, the 15th of March, 1830, about seven o'clock; soon after eight o'clock, Edward Young, a native, came alongside in a small canoe, guided by one paddle ; he wore an European waistcoat and trousers, and breakfasted with me, saying grace be fore and after. About nine o'clock several others came on board in a jolly-boat ; the senior native, Thursday October Fletcher Christian, was one of them. After breakfast many of them accompanied us to the shore; we landed about noon. At the top of the first level, seated in a grove of cocoa-nut-trees, were assembled many of the wives and mothers. `I have brought you a clergyman.'—' God bless you ; God bless you ;' was the universal answer. To stay with us ?" No !' You bad man, why not ?" I cannot spare him ? he is the clergyman of the ship. I have brought you clothes, which King George sends you.' We rather want food for our souls,' &c., formed the conversation which passed at the beginning. The welcome was most affecting; the wives met their husbands, and greeted them with joy, as if they had been long absent. They received us most cordially, but more particu larly the chaplain, Mr. Watson. The men springing up to the trees, throwing down cocoa-nuts, and, tearing off the husks with their teeth, offered us the milk. When we had rested they took us to their cottages, where we dined and slept. In the evening we went to see Christian's and Adams's graves; they are at some distance from each other; the grave of the former, near the spot where he fell murdered, about one-third of the summit of the island ; the latter:is buried by the side of his Otaheitan wife, at the end of his cottage garden. An hour after sunset we supped, and at nine o'clock retired to bed." After de scribing minutely the situatio❑ of the island, its pro ductions, the houses, furniture, &c , of the islanders, Captain Waldegrave thus proceeds :—He says " it was with very great satisfaction that we observed the Christian simplicity of the natives—they ap peared to have no guile—their cottages were open to all, and all were welcome to their food. The pig, the fowl, was killed, and dressed instantly. The beds were ready, each was willing to show any and every part of the island; and to any question put by myself, or Mr. Watson, as to the character or conduct of any individual, the answer was, if it could do any good to answer you I would, but as I cannot, it is wrong to tell tales.' They repeatedly told me that there were eighty-one souls on the island ; but after frequent counting we only reckoned 79. One quietly gave the Christian names of two others, but de clined saying who the parents were, as it would be wrong to tell my neighbours' shame.' Before they began a meal, all joined hands in the attitude of prayer, with eyes raised to Heaven, and one recited a simple grace, grateful for the present food, but be seeching spirit and nourishment. Each answered Amen; and alter a pause the breakfast or supper began. Water and the milk of cocoa-nuts was the only beverage. At the conclusion another grace was offered up. Should any one arrive during the repast, all ceased to eat,—the new guest said grace, to which each repeated Amen, and then the meal continued. The children were fond and obedient, the parents affectionate and kind to their children. After the English were re tired to rest, the natives assembled in a cottage and the evening service was read by Mr. Wat son. The Church service was performed; they all made the responses with regularity, and it was a most striking scene. The place chosen for the set• vice was the bed-room of a cottage, the ascent was by a broad ladder from the lower floor, through a trap-door. The clergyman stood between two bed , , and at his back the only lamp was placed. On his right, on the bed, three infants were soundly sleeping; on his left, three men sat at the foot of the bed. On each side and in front, were kneeling the native men, some in simple mare, displaying their gigantic figures; others partly clothed in trou sers and jacket, their neck and feet bare. Behind were the women in their modest cloth dresses, entirely concealing the form, leaving the head and feet bare. The girls wore, in addition, a sheet, knotted as a Roman senator's toga, thrown over the right shoulder and under the left arm. When the general confession was commenced, each knelt, facing the clergyman, with hands raised to the breast in the attitude of prayer, slowly and distinctly repeating the confession. Each was absorbed in the solemnity of the service. The text was most happily choserj)—" Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." At the conclusion of the service they requested permission to sing their parting h) mn, when all the congregation, in good time, sang— " Depart in peace." Their voices were all tenors, and of the same key. The women are clothed in the paper mulberry ,%hite cloth, extending in folds from the shonlders to the feet, and so loose as entirely to conceal the figure. We did not see one cripple or defective person, except one boy, whom, after much laughing, they, in the most good-humoured way, brought to me, saying, " You ought to be brothers —you have each lost the right eye." I acknow ledged the connection, and for the future he will be called Captain. Unhappily, the scene is not without alloy. Three Englishmen have arrived, and bad wives given to them—their names are G. H. Nobbs, John Buffett, and John Evans ; the first has married a daughter of Charles Christian, and calls himself pastor, registrar, and schoolmaster —he has sixteen scholars. Two of these titles, however, are claimed by Buffett—hence a source of division, and since their arrival dissension—here tofore an unknown evil, has appeared. Buffett, a native of Bristol a shipwright and joiner— a very useful mechanic, arrived first, and has eight scholars, and to him land has been al lotted. Evans enjoys land through his wife, a daughter of John Adams, an heiress. The two last maintain themselves, but Nobbs claims ex emption from labour as pastor. By law he is to be maintained by the community. His informa tion is superior to the natives, therefore he wishes to become the chief, in which he will be disap pointed; they do not like a superior. As education inci eases, also their minds will expand, when native talent will appear, which will claim and obtain su periority. Had the family of Christian possessed but a moderate share of sense one of its members would have been chief by general consent ; but Thursday and Charles Christian, the sons of the mu tineer, are ignorant and uneducated persons, unable to maintain supetioi ity. In time Edw. Quintal, who has the best understanding in the island, wi.l be chief. He possesses no book but the Bible; but such knowledge has he drawn from ir, that lie argus from facts sated therein, and thence ac tives at conclusions which will in time place him much above his fellows. One of the remark• able circumstances is the correctness of their lan guage and pronunciation. The general language is English, their divine service al-o is in Etiglisit, but they frequently converse in Otaheitan, the langaage of the mothers. Since the death of John Adams he patriarch, laws have been established against murder, theft, adultery, and removing a land-mark. j The penalty of the first is death ; to the second threefold restitution ; to the third, for the - first offence, whipping to both parties, and marriage within three months; for t' c second offence, if the parties refuse to marry, tile penalties are forfeiture of land and property, and bankhment from the i.land. Offenders are to ti trit ,, l before three elders who pronounce sent( nee." MADOX'S TRAVELS IN THE HOLY LAND, SYRIA, EGYPT, NUBIA, &C. —The aprarazw Of this im portant and valuable work has been delayed by the prepa ration of the numerous plates (no less thin twenty. eizht) with which it is to be illustrated. These consist chiefly of representations of the costume of the, different nations in which the enterprising author travelled, and of views of romarkable places and ancient ruins mentioned in Holy Writ. Among these will be found sketches of many of the remains of the temples and tombs on the bulks of the Nile, and of Nazareth and other sacred places in Syria and Pa lestine. His Alrjesty has been graciously pleased to allow Lbe work (the fruits of thirteen years' wanderings in the Eist) to be dedicated to him. An alteration has been made in the hats of :he police for their protection from violence, when on duty. The crown of the hat is covered with leather, un der which slips of cane are placed in a reticu:ated position, with a pad to ward off a blow, and to contribute to their personal safety. That bees may be tamed so as not to hurt persons to whom they are accustomed I have by miny instances heard exemplified, but most remarkably in the following account :.—A gentleman residing at Bury St. Edmond's could do with impunity anything he liked with his bees ; he knew every one of them, could distinguish etch bee from its fellow, as a shepherd is said to indi vidualiza his sheep by the physiognomy of each ; and if he wanted to show a particular bee to a friend he would have the hive to which it belonged turned out into a cloth, roll the insects about with his hands like so many pease, and, unharmed, select from them the one re quired ! This feat he has often been seen to perform.— Mirror. FIIMALAYA MOUNTAINS.--Frolll the con fluence of the Tillung with the Seilege (twelve thousand feet high), the Ribe or Ridging has a charming appear. ance, yellow fields, extensive vineyards, groves of apricot and large well built stone houses contrast with the neiA 'touring gigantic mountains. Zamsiri (fifteen thousand six hundred feet high) a halting place for travellers from Kewbrang pass, on the banks of the Shelti, is surrounded by gently sloping hills and tranquil rivulets, with banks of turf and pebbly beds, flocks of pigeons and herds of deer; nature thus adapting vegetation to this extraordinary coun try, for did it extend no higher than on the southern face of the Himalaya mountains, Tartary would be uninhabit able by either man or boast. On the southern slope of the range, the extreme height of cultivation is ten thousand feet, and even there green crops are frequently cut ; the highest habitation is nine thousand five hundred feet; eleven thousand eight hundred may be reckoned the upper limit of forest, and twelve thousand that of bushes, and in some sheltered ravines dwarf hushes are found at thirteen thousand feet high. Mark the contrast on the northern side;—in the valley of the Baspa river, the highest village is eleven thousand four hundred feet, cultiva tion reaches the same level ; forests extend to at least thirteen thousand, but advancing yet further villages are found at thirteen thousand feet ! Cultivation at thirteen thousand six hundred, fine birch trees at four teen thousanel, and tama bushes (which furnish excellent fire-wood) at seventeen thousand feet above the level of the sea! To the eastward toward Lake Manassarowar, according to Tartar accounts, crops, forests and bushes thrive at a still greater height. At Zinchin (sixteen thousand one hundred and thirty-six feet above the sea, where our travellers were i•topped by the Chinese guard.). about two hundred wild horses were seen galloping about and feeding on the very tops -of the heights ; kites and ogles were soaring into the deep blue nether, large flocks of small birds like linnets flying about and beautiful locusts jumping among the hushes. At times the sun shone like an orb of fire without the least haze, the stars and planets with a brilliancy only to be seen from such an elevation, and the pat of the horizon where the moon was expected to rise, could scarcely be distinguished before the limb touched it ; the atmosphere sometimes exhibited that dark rap- pearance witnessed by Captain Ross in Polar latitudes. With a transit telescope of thirty inches and a power of thirty, stars of the fifth magnitude were distinct in broad day. Thermometer 60 degrees in tne shade, at sunset 42 degrees, and before sunrise 30 degrees in July. Yesterday an inquest was held at the White Hart, Tottenham-court-road, on the body of Joseph Here, aged 25. The deceased, who was a gay y.ung man, and lodged in the Collegiate Coffee-house, No. 203, Tottenham-court-road, was found en Wednesday morning in his room, with his tt roar cut. Sir. Horte, master tailor, of Duke•street, Grosvenor square, said the de ceased was distantly related to him, and occasionally assisted him in his business. A few months ago be had a party at his house, at which a oitung lady of respectable family attended. The deceased accompanied her home, and this led to many subsequent interviews. The de ceased paid his addresses to the young lady ; and, on being questioned respecting his prospects in life, he represented himself to be witness's partner, and to be in much better circumstances than he really was. His visits and addresses were sanctioned, until the father of the young lady consulted with witness ; and felt himself bound in honour to state, that the deceased was only his assistant in trade. Oil the deceased discovering that his misrepresentations were un masked, he withdrew himself ; and although the lather of the young lady solicited an interview with him, and wit ness had frequently sent for him, he remained away, and the affair seemed to make a deep impression on his mind ; he afterwards lived in a wandering way at the coffee house. Mr. Butler, proprietor of the coffee-house, pro duced a letter, requesting his friends to pay a trifling debt which he hail contracted, while living at Mr. Butler's and at the end the following expressions —" Give my love to my dear mother, sisters, and brothers. I shall be back from the continent shortly. The hour of my departure is come. I hear the voice that calls me home. " 0 Lord, let trouble cease, And let thy creature die in peace." Verdict—Temporary Insanity. FORT WILLIAM- —This stupendous fortifi cation was commenced by Lord Clive after the battle of Plassey, and has cost the East India Company 2,000,000/. sterling. Situated on the margin of the Hooghly (about one-fourth of a mile below Calcutta), and on a level with the surrounding country, which is a perfect flat for many miles, it does not make an imposing appearance, indeed its strength is scarcely perceptible; never heless it is su perior in strength and regularity to any fortress in India, and requires from 10,000 to 15,000 men to man the works. The form is cctagon, five sides being regular and three next the river according to circumstances. The river flows up to the gl xis, the citadel towarris which has a large salient angle, the faces of which enfilade the whole sweep of the water : indeed the guns of the faces bear upon the city until crossed by the fire of the batteries parallel to the river. This salient anele is defended by several adjoining bastions and a counrerscarp, that covers them. The bastions on the five regular land sides have all many salient:orillons, behind which are retired circular flanks extremely spacious, and an immense double flank at the height of the berme ; the double flank would enable the besieged to retard the passage of the ditch, as from its form it cannot be enfiladed ; the orillon is effective against ricochet shot, and is not to be seen from any parallel : the berme opposite the curtain serves as a road, and contri butes to the defence of the ditch like a fausse-braye. The ditch is very wide and dry, with a cunette in the middle which receives the water of the ditch by means of two sluices that are commanded by the fort. The coun t terscarp and covered way are excellent ; every cur tain is covered by a large half-moon without flanks, bonnet or redoubt, but the faces each mount thirteen pieces of heavy ordnance, thus giving a defence of twenty-six guns to these raveling. The derni-bastions which termi nate the five regular fronts on each side are covered by a counterguard, of which the faces, like the half. moons, ire pierced with thirteen embrasures. These counter guards are connected with two redoubts constructed in tile place of arms of the adjacent re-entering angles, the whole faced, and palisaded with great attention to neat ness as well as strength. The advanced works are ex ecuted on an extensive scale, and the angles of the hal in tons being extremely acute project a great way so as to be in view of each other beyond the fl inked angle of the polygon, and capable of taking the trenches in the rear at an early period of the approach. The interior of this ad mirable fortress is truly beautiful,—large grass plots sur rounded by rows of shady trees, beneath which are well gray , Del prom nades,—with here and there piles of balls, bombshells and packs 'of artillery. Tne barracks are sp 6itis and will contain twenty thousand men. Toe wells are numerous, and there is an immense reservoir for rain water. Tne church is of an elegant Saxon style or archi.ecture with enameled g l as s, and the reside nces if the coinmanhants of corps and the principal st..ff officer, on an extensive scale. For a quarter of a mile round the fort no tree or house is permitted, and the ship. pass s close to the fort that they may be hailed from the glacis. _6 SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC. ,J6ift4li ) , . ►to 0 The proceedings upon the question' s 3 l : ';W 044 es T , r 1; traitor ?" were suspe n d e d i n th e Hous s ‘dr-C;tain t)ii:s'N - ; on Thursday, in conseq uence o f annetC*-; 1, , ?' mendation from M. Secretary Stataisi: -,)esk> ("- O'Connell to postpone for some little tsetet.t .. )S - 60,1, tion of which he had given notice, and in 'Zi] pora which the Learned Gentleman opened the business of the day by a speech, Mr. Stanley's suggestion being grounded upon the necessity of extreme deli beration in a matter of such unprecedented diffi culty, and on that of bringing perfect calmness and temper to the investigation of a subject which at the present moment produced feelings of extreme unea siness and warmth. Mr. O'Connell in the course of his second speech made shat appears to its, and what, though not so designated by Mr. Stanley, was manifestly regarded by that Right Hon. Gentle man, as a somewhat strange demand,—viz., that the charge or charges against the Hon.and Learned Mem . her for Tipperary and others implicated should be spe cifically defined and limited, so as to give the sus pected individuals means of effectually answering. Now this, as we have said, does appear more than curious. Mr. Stanley's reply was, in one word, " We are not public accusers, we have brought no charge." And so it is undoubtedly. Lord Althorp had never stirred the question at all. Mr. Hill bad made a statement to his constituents, which in volved, as was said, the characters of certain Irish Members. 'What had the Government to do with them or with their characters? True it is that when Mr. O'Connell (in the name of, he at first said, " all the Irish Members," but this sort of delega tion he speedily abandoned) had directly put the question whether Mr. Hill's statement was true or not, Lord Althorp, being compelled thereto by the interrogator and his own sense of honour, did give en answer which implied his belief in a material part of the statement, and in its relation to a particular Member. There, then, so far as Ministers were concerned, the whole affair was at an end—not a single step further were Lord Althorp and his colleagues required or inclined to take. They hail answered a question, which they had never instigated On a subject with which they had nothing to do. The next measure accord ngly was instituted by Mr. O'Connell. The Learned Gentleman declared that he would move for an inquiry; with which, for aught we can imagine until Mr. Sheil's declaration, the House of Commons had no more to do than the Chamber of Deputies or. the Spanish Cortes. Mr. Stanley very properly warned the Leareed Gentle man and others, that the inquiry once begun must be carried on severely and unflinchingly,—that the precedent might be dangerous, and the immediate results incalculably painful. Mr. Stanley was most impressive in characterising the awfulness of the risk incurred by a Member of Parliament, who, in the House of Commons, and in the presence of his country, avers or denies any fact of importance to his own reputation. Let it therefore be well understood, that the inquiry to be moved for on Monday is not one originally demanded by his Majesty's Ministers, who, we must once more repeat, have been altogether passive throughout the whole proceeding—but one which will have been forced by Mr. O'Connell for the alleged purpose of clearing the characters of some of his own friends, touch against as w ‘ h v o h m i sp e n r o e t d a w i t s t i l n i g ri le the sy s l a l - a a b il l s e of h P ad arl bn ia e m e % s t o ; and that if the result should be, as we hope and trust it will not be, evil or suffering to any friends of the Learned Gentleman, he, he alone, and not the King's Ministers, is, as the prime mover of the sub jeer, to blame for it. Why the question should have been so eagerly pushed and insisted on by Mr. O'Connell, it is for hine to settle with his anti coercion Bill brethren. However, to the inquiry the House now stands pledged; and we wish that as setnbly a successful extrication from what we are sure must appear to every Member of it a most em barrassing and dangerous predicament. That the whole business might have been stopped in limine is as clear as that afterwards it could not be suffered to drop without a complete investigation.—Times. We remember that when a total, instead of a partial repeal of the property tax was contended, tor, one argument which was powerfully urged io favour of the former was that it would enable the country to get rid of every trace even of the machinery used in raising the then odious impost. The same argument may, with equal force, be applied to the repeal of bath the house and window taxes, in pre ference to the rumoured design of Ministers to aban don the one and retain the other. We believe thsse by far the majority even of the payers of these taxes are not aware either of the expanse of their collec tion, or of the army of persons in the shape of clerks, commissioners, inspectors, and collectors, which they maintain and provide for. It would not be too much to affirm that there are upwards of 1.000 such persons in the metropolis alone con nected in some way or another with these heads of revenue. Of these, even the Commissioners, apparently the most disinterested of the whole, are, in a great degree, composed of persons who get themselves appointed for the sake of the imaginary importance it gives them, and the oppor tunity it affords them of favouring themselves and their connections. It is true that this opportunity for partiality principally presents itself in the case of the house tax, the doom of which appears to be irrevocably fixed. The very exemptions, however, which have been recently made in the window tax open a door to similar abuse, which, in addition to its manifest partiality and injustice, is a stung rea son for urging its repeal with that of the other. But what can be urged in favour of the justice of . . retaining either of these heads of taxation, whets we are told that the metropolis alone pays fiveeeighthe of the amount of one and upwards of a third of the other ? Nor would even Lord Castlereagh himself have accused the inhabitants of a part of the empire groaning under so unequal a burden of "an igno i ant impatience of taxation," had they ie his time" united to throw off a yoke so partial and intolerable is its pressure. But Ministers ate guilty of um as lme able folly in not listening betimes to the vole . a reason and justice; in not being in advet cc in stead of in the rear of public opinion; in short, in not averting the coming storm when they can do so with grace and safety. It requires no great skill in political augury to foresee that, sooner or later, they must yield, provided those who are contending for this fair and legitimate object take care to do so only through legitimate means. As sincere and warm advocates of that object, we have uniformly opposed that resort to violence which evil coon sellors have urged upon a portion of the people. We know how ready Ministers are to avail them selves of any excuse to retain this obnoxious tax and how ready an excuse the not yielding to clamour and violence furnishes them with. With ;milt, justice, and unanimity on its side, backed I,y steady unflinching perseverance, its abolition, we entertain not the least doubt, must arid will be atteined, pro- vided, as we have now and so frequently before declared, its attainment be not marred by its WI N into hands which, if they repeat their pact violence, will incur a not unreasonable suspicion of being its enemies in disguise.—Morning Herald. It is now pretty generally understood, among people who pay attention to such subjects, the: tiansportatton is one of the worst conceivable modes of punishment, and riot less objectionable as a means of colonization. Transportatton, however, has ne cessarily a number of advocates. In all the penal settlemeres, the sums expended by Government be come a source of wealth to the farmers; they are thereby suppli e d wit h cheap labourers, and at the same time with a market for their produce. The Archbishop of Dublin, whose zeal for the public good never slumbers nor sleeps, has published a small volu , ne on this very impor , ant subject, under (lie title of " Remick. on Transportation, awl on 4 _Recent Defence of the Syso in ; in a Secteet Letter to E oil eirey."
