(From the Windsor Express of Saturday ) The Queen of PORTUGAL, accompanied by the Duchess of BRAGANZA and suite, took their departure from the Castle this morning, under an escort of the Life Guards, and proceeded through Bagshot on their route to Ports mouth, where the young QUEEN will await further intel ligence from Portugal. Her MAJESTY left the Castle in one of the KiNc's carriages, and went direct to Laleharn, which place was her residence during her stay in England a short time since. After remaining an hour at Laleharn the Royal cortege proceeded through Chertsey to Bagshot. The military escort and the King's carriage did not pro ceed further than Bagshot.

St. George's-hall, with the State apartments, which have been necessarily closed against the public of late, will be opened again in a few days. Their MAJESTIES are in good health. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 15. This town is fast resuming its wonted gaiety ; families of note continue to arrive in rapid succession, and we are looking forward to an early and prosperous season.

Prince Talleyrand discharged the whole of his domestic establishment on Saturday. The Prince, with the Duchess Dx Dnio, are expected finally to leave on Friday next. Report asserts that the Duke DE CAZES is to be the new Ambassador; bat this appears doubtful. Preparations are making for the celebration of the marriage of Viscount FORDWICH, eldest son of Earl and Countess COWPER, with the eldest daughter cf Earl and Countess DE GREY, Lady ANN FLORENCE DE GREY. This young Lady possesses considerable property in her ow❑ right, left to her by the late Countess DE GREY, to which title she is also heiress.

BECHER and his lady, once Miss O'NEIL, the beautifu; and charming actress, with their children, are at Cheltenham for the benefit of the waters. There is apparently close intimacy and very kind feeling existing between the Duchess of ST. ALBANS and Lady BECH urt Journal. MASONIC FESTIVAL AT NOTTINGHAM. —On Thursday a grand masonic festival took place in the Exchange Rooms, in this town, which was honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness, the Duke of SUSSEX, Grand Master of England, who is on a visit at Newste , .d Abbey, the residence of Colonel WILDMAN. About 150 of the Brethren were present, and the room was decorated with banners emblamatic of the order. Colonel WILD:stAx presided, and was supported on his right by the Duke of SUSSEX and Lord RANCLIFFE, and on his left by Lord CHURCHILL and JOHN HEARD, the Mayor. The proceedings were marked by harmony and kindly feelings, to the exclusion of political matters; and at a late hour the company separated, highly delighted with the enter tainment. The Lord Chief Justice DENMAN is now residing at his mansion near Stoney Middleton, late the residence of Dr. DENMAN, where, as a relaxation from severer studies, his attention is turned to the cultivation of shrubs and flowers.--Sheffield Courant. An order has been received from the Lord Bishop of LIMERICK to surrender George's Church, in this city, to the Directors of the Provincial Bank, for the business of that establishment.—Limerick Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF STIRLINGSHIRE. — The Scotsman contradicts upon authority the rumour that there will be a vacancy in the representation of this county, caused by the appointment of Admiral FLEMING to a post in the West Indies, and states that no such ap pointment has taken place. DUKE OF YORK'S COLUMN.—A corre spondent of a Morning Paper contradicts the statement that the Duke of Yot k's Colum❑ was open to visiters gratis, and says, upon applying, he was told that it was closed for an unlimited period. The public ought to have some reason assigned for such a proceeding. ADELPHI THEATRE.—We understand that to-morrow Mr. WILDBMITII, of the Box Free-list Office, will take his benefit, and from the bill of fare which he has published, we have no doubt it will be a " bens fit" in the literal sense of the word. The en tertainments are the Court Masque, or Richmond in the Olden Time, the Four Sisters, the Middle Temple, and the Mummy—all highly popular pieces. On Thursdaylast his MAJESTY was graciously pleased to present GEORGE JULIUS, jun., Esq., of Richmond, with a piece of plate, accompanied by a letter, in his MAJESTY'S own hand-writing, expressive of his MA JESTY'S approbation of the skill and attention displayed by Mr. Juuus i❑ the treatment of his MAJESTY'S grand daughter, the child of Lady KENNEDY ERSKINE, who, we are happy to say, is now convalescent. The Rev. Frederick Foxton, A. 8., late of Pembroke College, Oxford, son of the worthy rector of Newtown, has been nominated to succeed the Rev. M 6 Cooper, in the perpetual curacy of Hoghton. Patron, the Rev. Gardner Baldwin, Vicar of Leyland. Letters from Ancona, of the 30th ult., state the receipt of intelligence from Corfu, that a revolution had broken out in Turkish Albania, but they give no pr ticulars. The last accounts from Para state that place to be in a very unsettled state, and the European Portu guese were in constant apprehension of attack. Letters from new Orleans, to the 9th Aug., state that the prospect of the crops both for cotton and sugar had not been better fior several y, ars, and that the place was extremely healthy. The King's Mews at Charing-cross, will be demolished in the course of a few days, agreeably to the plan for erecting the National Gallery. They were built in the year 1732, and were long admired for their handsome front and grand entrance. They were originally a falconry for keeping and training the king's hawks, and derived the name of Mews from that circumstance, which they still retained, after having been converted into royal stables. The stables belonging to the different squares, &c., have been called Mews ever since, and the misnomer is likely to be continued as long as there are horses and stables in the country. PREFERMENTS.—The Rev. Richard Morris, M.A., has been instituted by the Lord Bishop of Wor cester to the vicarage of Eatington, Warwickshire, void by the resignation of the R,v. H. W. Buckler, on the presentation of Evelyn John Shirley, Esq. The Rev. T. Mosely, rector of St. Martin's, Birmingham, has appointed his curate, the Rev. S. F. Morgan, minister of the new church at Nineveh, in the parish of Birmingham. The Lord Chancellor has presented the Rev. W. B. Harrison, M.A., curate of Maidstone, to the rectory of Gayton in the Marsh, Lincolnshire, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Mead. MINISTERS' STIPEND.—.—EWART'S CASE. —The following is the calculation of the expense incurred by the clergy in this matter : The tax claimed is Expens-s Horning and caption £5 0 Consignation dues 0 10 Aliment Expense of opposing aliment 1 10 Expense of opposing sick bill, including fees for medical certificates Disposition omnium bonorum .. XlO 11 7 12 13 7 The debt is now raised to 4 0 The clergy have offered to liberate Ewart on his granting a disposition to his goods and gear, and furniture of his house—the bed and bedding not excepted ! Ewart has stated lie will suffer any privation rather than execute such a deed, which none of his bona fide creditors have thought proper to require. MOVEMENTS OF MONSIEUR THIERS... M. Thiers, the Minister of Public Works of France, accompanied by M. David, the Principal Comp troller of Commerce, and M. Lee Grand, the Inspector General of French roads and canals, and Charles Vig. nolles, Esq., the distinguished engineer arrived at Mi vart's Hotel on Saturday evening, on their return from a❑ interesting tour among the principal public works of E ng . land. M. 'fliers was received every where with the greatest attention, and the most influential persons i❑ the town where he stopped were anxious to do the honours towards this highly talented and liberal Minister of Louis Philip. Mr. Telford's celebrated canal works at Thr mingLam, Sir Edward Thotnmasson's magnificent esta blishment, and several of the greatest manufactories in that town were visited ; and, in succession, Menai Bridge, Chester, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, the potteries and iron works, particularly Mr. Foster's great rolling mills at Stourbridge, and the Horsely works. At Liverpool the reception of M. Thiers was flattering in the extreme —the Mayor had a public dinner, the Dock Commission ers gave every facility for inspection and inquiry ; and the railways being the principal object of M. Thiers's visit, the Directors provided a powerful locomotive engine expressly to attend the party ; and Mr. Vignolles's own private engine followed in attendance to facilitate the in spection of the branch railways. M. Thiers and M. Le Grand afterwards went with their travelling barouchea along with one of the general passenger trains, which had not less than ten carriages, and the thirty miles were per formed with great ease in seventy minutes, including the usual stoppage at Newton. Perhaps nothing can more strongly illustrate the perfection of the roads and mode of travelling in England, than the possibility of M. Thiers having seen all these far distant and numerous public works in the short period of time since his departure from London. CAUTION TO COCKNEY SPORTSMEN. — A serious accident nearly befel Colonel Landmann, engi neer of the London and Greenwich Railway Company, lately. The gallant Colonel, whilst employed in laying out a part of the line, near the Neckinger road, received a small shot in the left eye from some Cockney sportsman. Fortunately the shot was nearly spent, or the consequences might have been fatal. SINGULAR CASE OF FORGERY.—A few days ago the Vicar of Leamington was swindled in the following manner :—A man applied to have a certificate signed for receiving his pension, and wished a receipt to send to the proper officers for paying the same, which the clergym in unsuspectingly signed on the back, the man stating the mots y would come through the Vicar's hands. It proved to be a two.and-sixpenny stamp. The man immediately filled it up, by drawing and signing his name J. H. Davis, on Messrs. Ladbrooke and Co., to the order of Messrs. Tomes and Co., bankers, where he directly took it, and received the 501., for which he drew it and absconded.—Northampton Herald. The Berkshire Chronicle, after having given an account of the inhuman murder of Mrs. Ann Pullin, at \Vantage (a report of which appeared in our paper), adds the following :—" We cannot conclude this awful account without expressing our deep concern to find that the mother and relatives of the deceased woman were so utterly callous to all sense of decency, as on Sunday to snake a sort of exhibition of the bloody kitchen and man gled body to all persons who were willing to drink a pint of beer as the price of admission, and on Monday, after the close of the inquest, when the body had been placed in a coffin, numbers of persons were admitted on paving for the eight ; the neck being left bare that all might see the horrible spectacle of the place where it had been severed from the body. Similar exhibitions have, we know, been that propriety. t he mane of p ersons, execute d ; b ut, surely, i t i s hi g h t ime public T voice he cried m a n charged down such i toutrages horridon and crime is unable to read, and, though manifesting considerable cunning, appears grossly ignorant." ADDRESS to the QUEEN of PORTUGAL. On the Queen of Portugal's arrival at Chertsey on Saturday morning, where she and her suite changed horses at the Swan Inn, on their return from Windsor to Portsmouth, Mr. Briscoe attended at the door of the car riage, and presented to her Majesty a book, which he told her " deserved to be written in letters of gold, and was worthy the study and consideration of every Crowned Head in Europe." It was a copy of "De Lolnie on the Constitution of England," accompanied by the following written address:— " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, " As a Member of the Legislative Council of this nation, and a sincere friend to the cause of freedom on the Continent, I ask permission to present your Majesty with a book, which contains a brief history of the glorious Constitution of the Bri tish Islands. " To that, under Divine Providence, we and our forefathers owe all the happiness and contentment which your Majesty has witnessed in this free and favoured country; for it is the bulwark which supports the throne of our Constitutional King, and the shield which protects the rights and privileges of all his subjects. " I offer this volume to the acceptance of your Majesty, with my fervent prayers, and those of my fellow townsmen of Chertsey, that your Majesty may live and prosper, and become an instrument in the hand of the Almighty, to give peace, law, and liberty to Portugal. " JOHN IVATT BRISCOE, " M.P. for the Eastern Division of the County of Surrey." The young Queen received the offering very graciously, and soon afterwards, with the Duchess of Braganza, de parted amidst the cheers of the people and a merry peal of the church bells. BROADSTAIRS.

Mademoiselle Celeste performed last week successfully at Southampton, and next week proceeds to Margate to fulfil an engagement there, preparatory to her appearance at Drury-lane. Mr. Watkins Burroughs has taken the Belfast Theatre, and opens on the 30th instant. A boy, of much precocious talent, of the name of Mangeon, has just arrived in this country from New York, having performed Othello, Richard, Shylock, and other first-rate characters there with great success. He is engaged to perform in Dublin, Birmingham, Rich mond, &c. &c. Mr. Samuel Russell has proceeded to Norwich to fulfil a short engagement previous to opening at Drury-lane on the I , t of October. The inhabitants of Richmond have made a strong sub scription for the erection of a tablet to the memory of Kean; but it is feared that their good intentions will in part be frustrated in consequence of the enormous bum of one hundred guineas being required for the erection of any monument in the body of the church. Notwithstanding this impediment (almost insurmountable), they are deter mined to proceed with their " goodly work," and should they ultimately find that their " means are not equal to their wishes," they will erect a monument against the church-yard wall, with the simple but emphatic inscrip tion of— EDMUND KEAN, Died 15th of May, 1833, Aged 45. " Take him for all in all, we ne'er shall look upon his like again." The Catherine-street Theatre, Strand, has been taken by a gentleman from the c)untry, of the name of Bartlett, under whose management it appears likely to be a place of rational amusement and respectability, instead of one of riot and disorder as formerly. Covent Garden Theatre is expected to open on the 30th of the present month. The season will commence, we be lieve, with a grand melodrama by M. G. Lewis, entitled, The IYood Demon, or the Clock has Struck, on which very considerable expense has been gone to for new scenery, dresses, and decorations. Foote's farce of The Mayor of Garrat will al , o be played on that occasion, in which Jerry Sneak Rus,ell and Dawton are to appear. Mr. NV. Farren, remarks the Court Journal, has, it is said, refused an offer from Mr. Bunn of 351. per week for the services of himself, Mrs. Faucitt, and her daughter. In this, we are told, there is some truth; but the ground of refusal, which has not been stated, was an indisposi tion to comply with the conditions with which the offer was accompanied, viz, that they should be ready at all times, if required, to play at Drury-lane or Covent-garden on the same night; Mr. Farren considered that such ex ertion must be too much for his strength. We have also heard that the illness this gentleman has recently , uffered was so severe as to have very greatly diminished his former bodily powers. Miss Kelly, we have heard, has at length succeeded in obtaining a license front the Lord Chamberlain. This ad mirable actress will, therefore, it is said, build a theatre on an extensive and splendid scale. The ground, says report, has already been purchased, and a model of the intended erection made. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT D ONCASTER, UP TO SATURDAY NIGHT AT TWELVE O'CLOCK. DONCASTER ST.

The Duke of SUTHERLAND had the foresight to guard against the depreciation of original canal investments, occasioned by the introduction of rail roads, and accordingly subscribed two or three hundred thousand pounds in the Liverpool, Manchester, and Birminghiln speculation. CHELTENHAM, SEPT. 13.—His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER gave his farewell dinner yesterday, and started for Windsor this day to pay a visit to their MAJESTIES. The Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBANS are gone to the sea-side, but will return in a few days. The Duke having sent for his falcons, we shall have an opportunity of seeing how our forefathers supplied themselves with game, without the aid of powder and shot. The Derwent Water Estates, which were without a tenant for nearly a century, now begin to as sume a new feature. Mr. M rshall, of Yorkshire, the purchaser two years since, is making magnificent improve ments in architectnre and agriculture. ROBBERY AT SIR - THOMAS HAMMOND'S: — lnformation was given on Saturday evening that a robbery had just been committed at Sir Thomas Ham mond's, N. '7, Dean-street, by getting over the court yard Wall, which abuts upon some stables at the back of the house, and from thence through the window of a private water-closet, which is upwards of 16 feet from the ground. The robber proceeded up stairs into one of the bed-rooms, and broke open a drawer, from which he took a large gold box, of the value of 50 guineas. From a lower room , the same thief took a nother gold box, valued a t 30 gu i neas , w i t h b ot h o f w hich valuables h e decamped undiscovered. LITERATURE. ILLUSTRATIONS OFPOLITICAL ECO NOMY, No. XX. " CINNAMON AND PEARLS. " A TALE. ET HARRIET MARTINEAU. We noticed on a former occasion a grave error into which we thought Miss Martineau had fallen in this work, by representing that the wages of the pearl diver would be raised, and his condition bettered by the fishery being thrown open. 'With that exception, the tale before us is no less remarkable for its power of insinuating into minds the most reluctant, the great truths of political science, than for its poetic beauties. Her main object is to exhibit the wretchedness of the fallacies on which our colonial system has to a considerable extent rested. The following extract contains an eloquent summary of the various evils under which the Cingalese have long laboured : " If the drought had been confined to the western coast of Ceylon, its effects would have been very de plorable, from the poverty of the people, though, from their being in the habit of the regular importation of rice, they were more sure of some extent of supply than if they had been dependant on their own scanty crops. But this year the drought extended to some of the districts of the neighbouring country, from which rice was annually imported to a large amount. This, again, would have mattered little, if the inhabitants had had the means of purchasing from a greater distance ; but these means could not be within the reach of a colony whose productions were monopolized by the mother country. Hundreds of thousands of the inhabi bitants of Ceylon, who, if allowed the usual inducements to an accumulation of capital, world have been in com mon times purchasers of the innumerable comforts which the world yields, and in the worst seasons placed far above the reach of want, were reduced by a single delay of the monsoon to such a condition as rendered it doubtful whether they would ever be purchasers of any thing. Again, want of capital was the grievance from whic all other temporal grievances arose in this region of natural wealth and superabundant beauty ; and this want of capital was caused by the diversion of labour from its natural channels, through the interference of the evil spirit of monopoly. " Streams ran down from the mountains ; and on either side of the streams were levels which lay waste and bare for want of irrigation ; and on the banks of these streams lived a population which subsisted on un wholesome and unseasoned or deficient food. These waters could not be made useful, these plains could not be ferti lized, these people could not be fed, because the natural wealth of the country was not permitted to create capital to the inhabitants. " The cotton tree might be met with growing luxu riantly wherever the hand of man or of nature had caused it to take root ; yet those who lived within reach of its boughs bid themselves in the woods for the scantiness of their clothing, or went without some other necessary, i❑ order to furnish themselves expensively with cotton cloth which had been woven four thousand miles off. That it should be woven where it was, and sold where it was, was well ; but that the purchasers should not have the raw materials to exchange for the wrought, or something else to offer which should not leave them destitute, spoke ill for the administrators of their affairs. " Potters' clay abounded in the intervals between soils which offered something better ; and here and there a rude workman was seen ' working his work on the wheel,' as in the days of Jeremiah the prophet, and marring the clay, a❑d making another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter. It would have seemed good to him to make better vessels, to improve his craft, and bring up his children to the art, and supply house holds at a greater distance with utensils, and get wealth and contentment, but that he had no money to spend on improvements, and that if his children tried to get any, they could find no free scope for their enterprise. " Herds of buffaloes were seen feeding amongst the rank vegetation of the hills; and many a peasant would have gone among them, morning and evening, with his bottle of hide slung over his shoulder, and many a maiden with her vase poised upon her bead, if a free commerce in ghee had been permitted with the Arabs, who must drink a cupful of it every morning, and with the multitude of dwellers in the Eastern Archi pelago, who want it for anointings, for food, for sacri fice, and other purposes which now cost them dear. But the buffaloes might graze in peace, the peasants being permitted to sell ghee only to those who could not buy, or who did not consume ghee. " There were cocoa nut fibres enough to spin a coir rope which might mea.ure the equator; but coir was so taxed, as soon as it bacame rope, that the Govern ment need have little fear that any would buy but itself, and those who could get no cheaper cordage. " Chay root, yielding the red dye which figures on Indian chintses, spread itself far and wide through the light dry soil near the coast. How it should hurt the British Government that all nations should have red roses on their chintses, had not been satisfactorily ex plained ; but it was the will of that Government that few should do so. The Government bought up every ounce of chay root which its Cingalese subjects were obliging enough to sell. There was much loyalty in thus furnishing chay root ; the diggers being paid a good deal less than half the price which the Government de manded from its purchasers. " The fragrance of spices was borne on every breeze ; shells of various beautiful forms were thrown up by every tide ; tortoiseshell might be had for the trouble of po lishing, and ivory for that of hunting the elephant ; &crack flowed for any one who would set it running from the tree ; canes to make matting and baskets were trodden down from their abundance; the topaz and the amethyst, the oral, the garnet, the ruby, and the sap phire, jet, crystal, and pearls, were strewed as in fairy land ; the jack wood, rivalling the finest mahogany, ebony. satin wood, and the finely veined calaminda, grew like thorns in the thicket ; yet the natural proprie tors of this wealth, to which the world looked with long ing eyes, were half fed, and not clothed ; and their Eng lish fellow subjects located in a far less favourable habita• Con, were taxed to afford them such meagre support as they had. " The world had rolled back with the Cingalase. Monu ments were before them at every step, which showed that their country had been more populous than now, and their forefathers more prosperous than themselves. They were now too many for their food—too many for the labour which their rulers vouchsafed to call for; yet they were but a million and a half on a territory which had sus tained in more comfort a much greater number without taxing a dist- nt nation to give unproductive aid to a puny people, and before the advantages of national interchange had been fully ascertained. There were traces of times— before the English artisan was called upon to co❑tribute his mite to his tawny brother over the sea ; before the Government complained of the expense of its colony; be fore murmurs arose about the scanty supply of cinnamon, while the Honourable Company was claiming compensa tion for an over-supply ; before the rulers at Culumbo began to be at their wits' end to find means for keeping up their credit ; before the expenditure of the colony so far exceeded its revenue, as that the inquiry began among certain wise ones, where was the great advantage of hav ing a colony, which, however rich in name and appear ance, cost more than it produced—there were traces of happier times, when the world seemed to have been wiser, however younger, than at present; or when the Cinga• lese had been under a wiser away than that which was now calling upon them for perpetual submission and gratitude. The Dutch might have been hard task-masters; but it was now felt that the English were yet more so ; and, however much submission might be yielded, because it could not be refused, there was small room for gratitude, as any one would have admitted who could have drawn an accurate comparison between the condition of the fo reign and the native, the producing and the commercial, population of the western portion of the island during this season of hardship. " The Dutch-built houses, inhabited by foreign agents, displayed all their usual luxuries ; carpeted with fragrant mats, gemmed with precious stones, perfumed with spicy oils, and supplied with food a❑d drinks purchased most native produce from foreign lands. The of the - i l l . humbler neighbours, meanwhile, wee-, gathering together in ' hu ° n i .pbaartr,.e empty of of fur niturein.co nsoi a t a i n o d n f:i n o d t , h e and, open vgroups Eastern rou p e s o countries r t l h e e s seem to road-side fi n o d r P:sli" fo a r ii - n times of extreme hardship ; e, th i e n ir t s i i in ck e o o n i itahnelinhea,ngkaszinofg patiently on in habitants. i the hanenl only sea-shore, e . al 7s T ihno h gl e , s the food which is carried before their eyes, and waiting for death as the sun goes down. Such were the groups now seen on the shores of the Like of Columbo, and in tna❑y an open space among the spoiled paddy-fields ; while the foreigners, from whom they were wont to receive ther pittance, were engaged with their curries, their coffee, and their meats from many climes. Thus was it during the day; while at night the distribution of action was reversed. The foreigners slept at ease in their cooled and darkened apartments, or, if they could not rest, had nothing worse to cempliin of than a mosquito foe; while their native neighbours were silently forming funeral piles along the shore ; silently bringing more wood and more from the tickets, as others of their caste dropped dead at length ; silently laying out the corpses ; silently watching over them as they turned to ashes, and placing the limbs decently as they fell asunder ; silently arranging themselves so that the funeral fire played in their dark eyes, and shone tillt h e o m n o t r i n ie i i n r g w b o r r e n eze a p n i d se l d uanokyt the fram last es; silently waiting flickering flame and dispersed the handful of white ashes which was all that remained of the parent who had murmured his blessing at sunset, or the wife who had whispered her farewell at midnight, or the infant whose breath had parted with the summons of the dawn. Silently were these rites perfarind ; insomuch that any chance watcher in the neighbouring verandah heard no ether interruption to the splash of waters than the crackling of flames, and would not have guessed that bands of patient sufferers were gathered round this fearful sacrifice to the evil spirit of Monopoly— a sacrifice as far from appeasing the dre , non as from tes tifying to the willing homage of his priests. There were not among the gentle Cingalese any of the fierce passions which this daemon commonly delights to unleash among his victims; none of the envy, jealousy, and hatred with which the desperately miserable enhance their desperation and their misery. Instead of jostling one another, these sufferers sat side by side; instead of gnashing their teeth at each other, they were altogether heedless of neigh bourhood ; instead of inflicting injuries, they merely ceased to confer mutual benefits. No aged man com plained of violence, but sank down disappointed, when he found the water-pot—placed for the traveller's refresh ment—empty by the wayside. No wearied woman mur mured at being dislodged from the sheltered bench on the bridge; but neither did those, who had niched themselves there to seek forgetfulness in sleep, stir to make way for a fellow-sufferer. No child was driven from its chance meal by a stronger arm than its own; but neither was there a look or a word to spare for the little ones (more tenacious of life than their parents), who crept from their dead mother to their dying father, trying in vain to suck life from the sunken breasts of the one, and to unclose the fixed eyes of the other. Some who remained in their ha bitations in the woods, if less destitute, were not less miserable. If the sight and scent of the bread-fruit were too strong for the fortitude of some, they ate under the full conviction that they were exchanging famine for leprosy. Whether the belief in this effect of the fruit was right or wrong, those who believed and yet ate suffered cruelly for the want of rice. If a follower of Drama, in passing a ruin, saw a cow browsing on some pinnacle, and in a fit of des peration, called the sacred creature down to be made food of, he found himself gnawed by the consciousness of his in expiable crime as fearfully as by his previous hunger. An ample importation of rice--such as might always be ‘e cured by the absence of restrictions on commerce—would have saved to these the pangs of conscience, till a better knowledge had had time to strike root and ripen for har vest, as it would have spared to others the agonies of hunger while their rice grounds were awaiting the latter rains, and preparing to become fruitful again in their season. As it was, all were prevented making the most of their own soil from want of capital ! and, while rendered dependant on the importation of grain, were denied the means of insuring that importation. By the exorbitant taxation of some of their articles of produce, and the pro hibition to sell others to any buyer but the Government, the Cingalese were deprived of all chance of securing a sub sistence, and of all inducement to accumulate property." The story into which the scientific part of the volume is worked up, contains more than' usual interest. The curiosity of the half civilized savage is well drawn in the character of Rayo, whilst the love borne to him by the simple Marana, sheds an interest over him which no thing else could bestow. After practising as a diver on the conch banks, the hero is engaged as. a pearl diver. The following is the beautiful description Miss Martineau gives of the first plunge : DESCENT OF RAYO, THE PEARL-DIVER. " The splash of the thousand men who descended within the circle took away his breath as effectually as the closing waters were about to deprive him of it. It was a singular sight to see the half of this vast marshalled company thus suddenly engulfed, and to think of them, in one moment after, as forming a human population at the bottom of the sea. To be a subject of the experiment, was to the full as strange as to witness it ; as Rayo found, when the minute of his companions' suhmersion was at length over, and a thousand faces (very nearly scarlet, notwithstanding their tawny skins) rushed up through the green wave. Spouting, dripping, and panting, they con vulsively jerked their burden of oysters out upua the plat form, and then tried to deliver their news from the re gions below; but for this news their comrades must not wait. Down went Rap, to find out the difference between three fathoms and nine. How far the lively idea of a shark's row of teeth might have quickened his per ceptions, he did not himself inquire; but he was con scious of a more dazzling flash before his eyes, a sharper boring of the drum of his ear, and a general pressure sin much stronger than ever before, that it would have been easy for him to believe, if he had been a Hinduo, like his neighbours, that he supported the tortoise that supported the elephant that supported the globe. He could see nothing at first in the dizzy green that was suffocating and boiling him ; but that did not signify, as he had no time to look about him. He thought he was descending clean into a shark's jaws, so sharp was that against which his left great-toe struck, when his descent from the ninth, heaven to the ninetieth abyss was at length accomplished. (How could any one call it nine fathoms?) On ?fleeting this shark's tooth, or whatever else it was, yelling was found to be out of the question. It was luckily forgotten in the panic, that the rope was to be pulled in else of ac cident; luckily, as there was no alternative between Rayo's losing all credit as a diver, and the fishing being at an end for that day, from his spreading the alarm of a shark. He did not pull the rope; he only pulled up his left leg vigorously enough to assure himself that it was still in its proper place; by which time he discovered that he had only mistaken a large gaping oyster for a hungry shark. Rayo's great-toe being not exactly the viand that this oyster had a longing for, it ceased to gape; and Rayo manfully trampled it under foot, before wrenching it kora the abode of which its seven years' lease had this day ex - pired. These oysters requir e d a t err ibl e wrenching, con sidering that there was no taking breath between. Now he had got the knack. A pretty good handful, that ! St. Anthony! where did that slap in the face come fulan —so cold and stunning? Rayo's idea of a buffet from the Devil was, that it would be hot ; so he took heart, and supposed it was a fish, as indeed it was. He must go now,-0 ! 0! he must go. He should die now before he could get up through that immeasurable abyss. But where was the rope? St. Anthony ! where was the rope? He was list! No! it was the rope slapped his face this time. Still he was lost ! A shadowy, striding mountain was coming upon him,—too enormous to be any fish but a whale. Suppose Rayo should be the first to see a whale in these seas ! St. Anthony ! it was one of his companions. If they were not gone up yet, could not he stay an instant longer, and so avoid being made allow, :ruse for as the youngest diver of the party? No, not an instant. He rather thought he must be dead already, for it was hours since he breathed. He was alive enough, however, to coil himself in the rope. Then he went to sleep for a hundred years ; then,—what is this? dawn ? A green dawn ?—brighter,—lighter,—vistas. of green light everywhere, with wriggling forms shooting from end to end of them. Pah ! here's a mouthful of oor. Rayo should not have opened his mouth, Here is the air at last ! Rayo does not care ; the water does as well by this time. If he is not dead now, water will never kill him, for lie has been A lifetime under it. " Well, Rayo," aays the captain, " you have done pretty well for the time. You have been under water a ful' minute, and one man in up before you. Here coloes another." " A full minute !" Even so. Who has not Knife through more than this in a dream of less than a minute? and yet more if he has bee n in sudden o ° - ..11 of instant death, when the entire life is liv ed over again, with the single difference of all its ""ents being contemporaneous? The Patriote de Saone et Loire states that a troop of wolves, which infests the neighbourhood of Chalons sur Soane, came up, a few days since, to the walls of the promenade of Sainte Marie, and a young mare, and tore several hors e s that were in the a istures. devoured CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS. —On Wednesday evening a man e ntered the Prince of W a l es , k e pt by Mrs. Gower, in Church-lane, Whitechapel, and having requested c hange for a sovereign, which h e tendered, Mrs. Gower took out a canvas b ,g, cont aining lour 5/. notes, one 10/. bank note, and 25 s overeig n,,, with about SO s hillings, and was counting the w h e n the fellow s natched awa y the bag, and untu ""ge ' of the bowie , ma na g ed to esca pe. ng uut
