Lord Nugent, in his " Memorials of John Hampden, his Party, and his Times" (in an exceedingly interesting, though not very Aristo cratic work, just published) ) gives some curious instances of the letters of great folks. He first quotes one from the Duchess of Buckingham to James 1., which, as his Lordship truly ob serves, shows on what strange domestic topics the females of that Noble House, then so favoured and so dishonoured, found entertain ment for the servile inquisitiveness of their master's character. The letter was as follows " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTIE,—I have rcceved the two boxes of dried plums and grays, and the box of violatt cak and chickens, for which 1 most humblie thank your Majestie. " I hope my Lord Arran has tould your Majestic that I did mean to wcne Mall very shortly. y I wood not by any nielts_a done it till I had first made your Mojestie ac quaint—ed.-Milk it ; and by reason toy cuser. Brett's boy has been ill of kit , makes me very desirous to wene her ; * - k) Ido intend to make trial! this night how shee will endure it. day, praying fur your Ma jesties health and long life, I humbly take my leave. " Your Majesti3's most humbell servant, " K. BUCKINGHAM." Lord Nugent then gives another, from " Dal rymple's Collection of Letters," " if it be only for the noble contrast of style and sentiment whicil it displays in another person of the same rank ; and as a sample of concise but pure and touching eloquence." It is written by another Catharine, the Duchess Dowager of Lennox, widow of Esme, the third Duke, and, as Dal rymple terms her, " the mother of many heroes." This is the letter : 44 MY SOVEREIGN LORD,—According to your Majesty's gracious pleasure signified unto me, I have sent a young man to attend to you, accompanied with a widow's prayers and tears that he may wax old in your Majesty's se,vice, and in his fidelity and affection may equal his ancestors departed ; so shall he find grace and favour in the eyes of my Lord the King, which will revive the dying hopes and raise the dejected spirits of a comfortless mother. " Your Majesty's most humble servant, " KA. LENNOX." [This " young man" was James Duke of Richmond and Lennox.] In the winter 1813-14, a fog set iti on Christ may-day, which lasted with little intermission till February. THE GLOVE TRADE.--The glovers of this city, in common with those in the business at Worcester, Yeovil, and various other places, though able and desirous to work, have the desponding prospect of sho rtl y bein g destitut e of employment , and consequently redu ced to po verty and want. It is not generally known that this trade, which has hitherto been carried on to a very consi derable extent in this city, at Kingston, Leominster, L l / 4 c., besides employing a large number of men ar.d their fami lies, has afforded a profitable occupation to the wives and daughters of our peasantry in various parishes, some of them at distances of seven, eight, and ten miles front tip-- manufactory ; and the extent of this employment may be estimated, when we state that one manfacturer only in this city has constantly, we believe, paid more than 561. weekly to his work-people.— Worcester Paper. tellect to acquire a knowledge of that art. Gru terus has preserved for our information the notes of Tyro, the freed-man of Cicero. The Re public and the Government of cities also main tained at their expense these secretaries. It is not necessary here to detail the history of the notaries in Europe who succeeded the tahellions of Rome. The intention is only to throw some light o❑ the origin of short-hand-writing, and to prove the great estimation in which the art was held by ancient statesmen and orators. Next to the art of printing, short-hand writing claims the admiration of mankind ; it may be called the triumph of human intellect. The wisdom of the Senate, the principles of legisla tion, and the dicta of legal tribunals, are now diffused over the British islands with the rapi dity of the eagle's wing. The learning, taste, and reason of the most distinguished men, taken, as it were, from the lips of the speakers, and conveyed daily and hourly by the press of Great Britain, must produce light and knowledge among the people, which no other system of education can impart. The advantages derived from short-hand writing are not only great in a public point of view, but privately the art is useful. The student who attends lectures may bring away the very words of the lecturer, and impress upon the mind at leisure the correct ideas of a speaker, in a way that can never lead to error. The art, some years ago, was not applied to any useful purpose in England. The debates in the British Parliament were reported, but the writers conveyed no valuable information to the public. The speeches reported were too often the mere composition of reporters, who wrote from memory. We have now, so far as the limits of newspapers will allow, the emphatic words of the leaders in Parliament, upon all important subjects. It is true inaccuracy will sometimes occur, but every one who has attended the House of Commons, and the other branch of the Le- gislature, must know that errors are occasioned by the want of proper facilities to report. The distance at which strangers or writers are placed from the speakers in the House of Lords and House of Commons is too great. It is impos sible to hear persons who speak in a low tone of voice, and it ii almost unnecessary to observe that a reporter cannot report accurately that which he does not distinctly hear, and clearly understand. We are enabled to make what may be considered a .bold assertion, but it is nevertheless true, namely, that a short-hand writer, placed in a situation where he can hear, may commit to paper, if necessary, every word uttered by a speaker. The skill evinced daily in the art of reporting must be considered one of the great foundations of public liberty, and every friend to the British Constitution should stand forward the advocate of reporters, who have done much within the last twenty years to promote the liberty of the subject, the blessings of the British Constitution, and the morals of the people. It would not be difficult to prove that the present system of reporting is advantageous to domestic peace, and the stability of Government. The people of England are the best subjects in t h e world, provided they find in their rulers due regard for the principles of that Constitution which their best blood has been so often nobly shed to defend. Expose fairly the sentiments of the representatives in Parliament, who dis cuss the measures of Government, and there will be no disposition to form plans of conspiracy treason, and disaffection, which have generally been the result of false or mistaken views of the measures of Governments. The public Press is now a stream of light and information, flow ing through the United Kingdom, and should any Government be weak enough to arrest its progress, the obstruction must produce con sequences fatal indeed to public peace and tran quillity. Let the Press be unshackled, and its licentiousness, which seems to be an in separable vice, stands restrained by wise legislative enactments. Experience has proved that no Government can expect to prosper without a free Press. The great Republic of Venice, established upon a system of secrecy, fell a victim to that very principle. The mea sures of its Council, though intended to promote the public interest, were dark and mysterious. The people kept in ignorance, and naturally sus picious of all rulers, engaged in plots against the State, and at last the army itself, on which the Senate most relied for protection, became the de• stroyers of the Republic. Had Venice, in the ple, nitude of her greatness, possess e d a free Press, and not the false policy of concealment, the Govern ment of that once powerful commercial State might have existed to this day. Events of more recent data have proved that an attempt to keep down the spirit of the age by restraints upon the Press must excite universal disgust, and kindle the flame of revolution ; that flame which drove Charles the Tenth from the throne of the Bour bons. Happily there is no apprehension that the liberty of the Pi csc can be suppressed in this country, whilst short-hand writing gives to the reporter the invaluable power of spreading truth and information over the land, the people may boast of advantages unknown to surrounding nations.—Morning ihivertiser. The Westminster Review hints that the " Tour of a German Prince," attributed to Prince PUCK - LER MusKAw, is the production of 4 young Irishman of good family, in foreign service, during his two years' fur lough, done into choice German by the very able chaplain of his regiment. On Monday M. Majendie attended at the Aca demy of Sciences, in Paris, and delivered a verbal report of his visit to Sunderland. In addition to the circumstances stated in his letter from that place, he said that the most striking phenomenon of the cholera is the almost total stoppage of the circula tion of the blood, the action of the heart being re duced to not more than ten or twelve pulsations in a minute. To this he attributed the black or blue appearance of the extremities, and the imminent dan ger of piscing the patient in an upright position, which not unfrequently produced instant death, as thereby the passage of the blood to the head is ren dered extremely difficult. This effect is the same in both sexes and at every age. The principal cause of the extensive ravages of the disease he supposed to be the horrible state of poverty of the lower or ders. " There are," he said, " three parishes in Sunderland, two being situated on the heights, and the third in a damp position on the borders of a river. The two former contain upwards of 800 spa cious houses, in which all the comfort that civiliza tion can suggest, or affluence procure, is to be found, and con'equently scarcely a single case has occurred in them ; but in the lower town, occupied by 17,000 inhabitants, of whom 14,000 are in a state of pau perism, arid the objects of parochial relief, the ravages have been carried to the extentrecorded in the public prints." This part of Sunderland he described as consisting of nothing but an assemblage of alle)s scarcely four feet wide, each room in which rarely exceeds ten feet square, containing a whole family huddled together day and night, and the walls of which are rendered black by the smoke of the coal fires with which they there cook their scanty meals, the whole forming a picture of wretchedness, filth, and poverty, which, accustomed as he has been from his professional duties to visit the abodes of human misery, he could not have be lieved to exist in the present age in any part of civilized Europe. The evil, he stated, was increased by the atrocious practice of farming out the poor, though, indeed, the poor-house was even worse than these private dwellings, hundreds of paupers of both sexes being crowded within it, arid annually subject to the attacks of typhus and scarlet fevers, and the measles. M. Majendie lamented that the popular prejudice against dissection was so great that the faculty had not been able to obtain permis sion to open the body of a single person who had died of cholera. He expressed great satisfaction at the liberal assistance he had received from his profes sional brethren both in London and Sunderland. He also approved of the judicious conduct of the British Government in refraining from all rigorous measures for preventing communication by laud; and as to the quarantine adopted for the vessels, it was, he said, merely nominal, as the ships were stationed at not more than twenty or thirty feet from the land, and the crews had every facility of going on shore at night. Slight, however, as the restraint is, it has caused such stagnation of business in the port of Sunderland, that hundreds have been thrown out of employ; and new causes of poverty having resulted, the number of cases of cholera has been augmented. M. Majendie considers that tie fatal elect of this disease has been considerably aug mented by the precautions taken on the continent to prevent its progress. M. Moreau Joanne' made some observations on what M. Majendie had said, and attempted to show the advantages resulting from police restrictions and interference. These were most completely overthrown by M. Majendie in a manner so much to the satisfaction of the academy, that on M. Moreau Joannes rising to reply, the academy unanimously passed to the order a the day. DUBLIN TRADES POLITICAL UNION. The Dublin Trades Political Union met on Mon day, to petition both Houses of Parliament in favour of the English Reform Bill, and that a measure of Reform on a scale equally ample might be extended to Ireland. Mr. Costello was in the Chair. The various resolutions were carried unanimously. Mr. O'Connell addressed the meeting at very great length. He commenced by abusing the Ministers for " doing nothing" for Ireland, but bidding the country " wait awhile,"—declared that the people of Ireland must rely upon themselves, and " agitate, agitate !"—said he rejoiced in the reaction pro. duced by himself among the Protestants, as "he was most anxious," we quote the words as reported in the Freeman's Journal, " that the country should not be permitted to sink into an un whol, - some state of tranquillity—the repose of acquies cence." He then declared that he would demand 125 Members for Ireland, while at the same time he should continue to give his support to the English Reform Bill. After adverting to the Union, he then proceeded in a strain which seems In a style calculated to earn for him the epithet of the Dublin Times, " General O'Connell." " Let but Irish men be combined and strong in brotherhood, and they might bid defiance to the world. He'd give them all England—he'd give them France—he'd add paltry Spain and miserable Portugal—he'd put in Austria and the German States by way of stuff ing —aye, he'd give them the Russian Autocrat and all, and let Irishmen be united, and standing shoulder to shoulder in the field, they might hurl defiance to their combined power, and brave the universal world.—(Loud applause.) There was no country in the world had such military positions. Every mountain was a fortification, every field a redoubt, and every ditch was a defile! I !—(Loud cheers.) In conclusion, he said, in 1773,when they were seeks ing the free trade, they painted a cannon with the words " Free trade, or else—."—(Cheers.) We will not paint a cannon, but we will paint an Irish man standing with his arms folded, and the words " Reform for Ireland, with the basis of equal repre sentarion, and the extension of the democratic prin. ciple for Ireland—or else--( The entire assembly rose, and peals of acclamation were reverberated for successive minutes)—or else—we'll have but one cry, Repeal of the Union."—( Immense cheering.) Air. S , itunton, in his address to the meeting, subse quently enumerated the following towns in Ireland, some having 6,000, and all above 4,000, to which, in justice, he said, the right of returning Members ought to be conceded :—Killarney, Fermoy, Ne nagh, Cove, Tipperary, Thurles, Loughrea, Birr, Strobane, Tullamore, Castlebar, Roscrea, Skibbe reen, Aathkeale, Dingle, Clonakihy, Tuam, Ballina, Westport, and Mullingar. Several other persona spoke in support of the resolutions, and many new members were admitted. WEBER asserted, that he never saw a beau tifu landscape that did not produce in his mind a train of col responding musical association.. • The mass of the people of Spain, says a recent traveller, take little heed of the vices of the Government, and are entirely indifferent about political privileges. The 13 isque provinces, which are the most enlightened, have I ttle to complain of; for they enjoy a multitude of pri, vileges and exemptions, which are well defined and jealous y maintained; and as for the Spaniard of the Southern pr - vinees—give him his shade in the summer, and his sun shine in winter ; his tobacco, his melon, his dates, le:s bread, and his wine ;—give him a hole to creep into, air! put him within sound of a convent bell, and he asks ro more ; or, if you rise a degree or two in society, and speak of the respectable peasant, then give to him his em broidered jacket, his tasselled hat, his guitar, and his rneejo (sweetheart, in the dialect of Andalusia), and it is a matt , r of indifference to him whether Spain is ruled by a CALI. QULA or a Tyres, The Select Committee appointed to take into consideration the frequent Calamities by Steam Navigation, and the best Means of guarding against their Recurrence, and to report their Observations thereupon to the Howe; and to whom several Petitions were referred; and who were empowered to report the Minutes of the Evidence taken before them, with an Appendix; have, pursuant to the Order of the House, examined the Matters to them referred, and agreed to the following Report : Your Committee, impressed with a deep sense of the importance of the subject referred to them, as well from an earnest desire, on the one hand, not to check, by legislative interfe rence, the progress of improvement in the ap plication of the vast power of steam to naval purposes, as, on the other hand, to afford pro tection to the lives and property of his Majesty's subjects, and to ensure a due regard to the se curity and protection of all public and private interests, feel themselves called upon to recom mend that all vessels propelled by steam shall be sub?cted to certain regulations. our Committee deem it right to remark that, notwithstanding the recent distressing calamities which have befallen two steam passage-vessels, by which many lives have been lost, and which your Committee, in common with the rest of the public, deeply deplore, yet that, when the great number of steam vessels employed in car rying passengers, and the period of time they have been in general use, are considered, the number of fatal accidents have been compara tively few, and less in proportion than accidents to sailing vessels. Your Committee having duly weighed the foregoing considerations, having considered the several petitions referred to them, and the evi dence of numerous witnesses whose character and professional experience seemed best calcu lated to afford the required information, and having referred, in the first instance, to com plaints connected with the navigation by steam on the river Thames, report as follows : Firstly—That numerous persons using and emplo)ed in small boats, and on board loaded barges (as has heretofore been customary) on the Thames, and in tile vicinity of London, are now daily exposed to much serious inconvenience and personal risk from the manlier in which steam-vessels are continually passing in that crowded part of the river called the Pool," causing great undulation of the water to a con siderable distance, and within that range subject ing the small boats and loaded barges to the foregoing evils. Secondly—That the usually rapid rate at which steam-vessels move, and the undulation of water they occasion, render it highly im portant that those in charge of them, whilst navigating even the less frequented parts of the Thames and other rivers, should adopt every reasonable precaution to avoid injury to small boats or deeply-laden vessels, by approaching nearer to them than necessary. Thirdly—That it appears that steam vessels employed to convey passengers from one port to another by sea, as well as between different places in the same river, have not always been built with adequate strength of scantling ; by which means their passengers have been exposed to immediate danger, in the event of such vessels experiencing the violent shocks that are occa sioned by striking on shoals, encountering heavy seas, or other sea risks. Fourthly—That there is not at present ally ge neral fixed signal to distinguish steam vessels when .moving by night and that it would be advantageous, on account of their rapid rate, and other circumstances before alluded to, that they should be so distinguished, in order to afford timely notice to boats and other craft to get out of the way. Fifthly—That considerable inconvenience has been experienced by the practice of several steam vessels starting from one point at the same mo ment, and keeping together, whereby the danger arising from the undulation of the water is greatly increased. To remedy these evils, so far as appears prac ticable and just, your Committee deem it right to submit to the House the following sugges tions, viz.:— , Firstly—That it is expedient to regulate the speed of steam vessels between London-bridge and the stairs of his Majesty's Victualling-yard at Deptford, and that the basis of the regulations be arranged upon the revolutions of the wheels. Secondly—That by legislative enactment steam vessels be required, whilst navigating be tween London-bridge and the stairs of his Majesty's Victualling-yard at Deptford, if going with the tide, or in slack water, to have the number of the revolutions of their wheels re duced one-half from their average performance at full power of their engines ; and if going against the tide, to have the revolutions reduced one third from their performance at full power. The average performance at full power of the wheels to be ascertained and certified to the Cominis sioners of Customs of the port to which the vessel belongs, and to be notified in some con ' spicuous part of the vessel ; and that there be in all vessels navigating the Thames an index on the deck, connected with the machinery, to show the number of revolutions per minute the wheels are making. Thirdly—That every steam vessel employed in the conveyance of passengers for hire shall be duly licensed by the collector or other chief officer of the Customs of the port to which she belongs ; and that such officer, previous to granting a license, shall require such proof as he shall deem reasonable and proper (taking into consideration the circumstances of the case) that the vessel has been sufficiently surveyed and ex amined, and is deemed to be perfectly sea worthy, of sufficiently strong scantling, and pro perly fitted in all respects to undertake the service or voyage for which ;;he is intended. Fourthly—That such license shall only be valid for one year ; it being understood that, if any vessel be out of the kingdom at the expira tion of the year, her license shall be valid until her return to Great Britain ; and further, that in the event of its being proved to the satisfaction of such officer that any vessel has sustained any ac cident, it shall be in his power to order an inter mediate survey; and further, that it shall not be lawful for any such officer to allow any sea-going vessel to be more than three years, or any river going vessel to be more than five years, without undergoing a regular survey. Fifthly—That no vessel shall be licensed to carry more than two passengers for every ton of her registered burden, if to proceed to sea, or more than three if her voyage is to be confined t a lr i i ( v i e e r du n c a t v i i n g g at ib io u n r , after deducting the number of tons of cargo the vessel may have taken on board, passengers for every horse or head of horned cattle. Sixthly—That the commander or other per son in charge of any steam vessel, when navi gating within rivers or along shore by night, be obliged to show two lights horizontally, at least THE MOTHER'S BOOK.
