This important line of railway will commence near the Midland Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford, Holme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir, to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near Folkingluim and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton, Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexion be tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, awl Staffordshire, by means of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and Western coasts of the Kingdom. The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with some of the best markets in England. The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside rably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East of Nottingham. Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln shire, says : " The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and other charges, is stated to amcunt to very near Bs. The charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge of 11,4 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d.N thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter, occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance, delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is coins pelled to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a temporary rise." " Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but he considered as a benefit both to the producer nd the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the aay by an economical and well arranged system of railway corn wunication." The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as all immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire.

Provisionally Registered. Capital 600,0001., in 60,000 shares of 10/. each. lustalment 1/. per Share. Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the Provisional Direc tors have considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee for his whole right of patents, instead of confining themselves to the United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc tors have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they have agreed for the purchase of the British and Foreign right of Pil brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this extended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon much more advanfageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence of which the amount of call necessary to carry out the object and intention of the Company will be greatly diminished, and the pros pect of immediate return considerably increased. In lieu of Five Pounds, One Pound per share Is considered ample to cover the expenses of purchase, and to lay down a line of sufficient length to prove the superiority of Pilbrow's Atmospheric principle: The arrangement of this undertaking, however. necessarily involves many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares must be considerably augmented, but the shares will still be continued at the same amount, viz., Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the original applicants. An instalment of One Pound per share will be required on the signing of the deed of settlement. Open from Ten till Six o'clock. An entrance also in Albany-street ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The prominent advantages of this sy.tem of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with; roads are crossed u, on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by anoth?r, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and it is confidently expected that a stationary engine every ten miles will be sufficient. The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,0001. per mile ; two:mains or lines can, on this plan, be laid for little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans; and a saving or working in annual expense of two-thirds. Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, &c. The objects of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents ; to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under contracts with the different Companies; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour hood of the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or otherwise. The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the patents, and laying down the experimental line, are obviously small. A Model, upon a scale of one inch to the foot, may be seen at work on Wednesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clock, at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers of the Company. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY. TO THE DIRECTORS OF PILRROW'S ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY AND CANAL PROPULSION COMPANY. GENTLEMEN, I request you to allot me Shares of £ each In the above Company, and I undertake to accept the same, or any smaller number of Shares that may be allotted to me, andto pay the deposit thereon, and to execute the deed of settlement Dated this day of 1845 Name Address Profession or Trade Reference B ATHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFORT ON-THF-MAINE. The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea. To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources, which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank among the mineral waters of Germany. The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best adapted to it, and cf modifying the treatment according to the course and progress of the complaint. The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all when drunk at their source, for then the viv:fying air of the moun tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage. The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive functions, most happy results are derived from them. _ _ . During the four veers which have elapsed since these springs first obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite watering places. The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are piercei with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus. The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel lence of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the Rhine. It contains splendid salcrons for balls and concerts ; rooms for ;the games of Trente et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a Cabinet for reading, In which are most of the German, French, English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asphalte, and a grand dining-room with a table-d'hete, served a la Francalse, twice a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock. The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the grand Ball-room. Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other without interruption. The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees Chasses at the close of the winter season.

The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coatunder the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— Morning Post, April 19. " Amongst the registration of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found.

TliE UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE AND NAVAL AND MILITARY JOURNAL. Man is confessedly a most belligerent animal, and as long as he remains so works of the nature of the one before us—treating of military matters, and re cording the achievements of the great ones of the earth—must possess considerable interest to a large circle of readers. Nor would we wish it otherwise; for although we regard war as at best but a necessary evil, still, until society is sufficiently advanced to abstain from settling questions of national dispute by a resort to, brute force, we would by no means seek to repress the manly and martial spirit such works tend to foster, and which indeed, animating men to deeds of self-devotion and heroism, invest the doings of war from time to time with a sublimity which partially redeems their horror. Much, therefore, as we may love peace, and approve of Peace Societies in the abstract, we cannot say that we feel at all desirous to see our country lay aside " the pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war," or cast away her sword at their bidding, especially while all our neighbours keep their's, ready sharpened, in their hands, and our brother Jonathan and Cousin France in particular, flourish their weapons every now and then in our faces, threatening to take ad vantage of any momentary weakness we may ex hibit. But the United Service Magazine does not treat exclusively of professional matters, either military or naval ; and of the numerous publications of the day, which address themselves to the sympa thies and advocate the interests of a particular class, we know of none more entitled to public approbation, or more worthy of general support, whether we regard the varied and general interest of its contents, or the excellent manner in which the subjects treated of are handled. The reader, whose taste takes the widest range, will find in its pages variety enough to satisfy him ; and the great charm of all is, that w e do not have adventures at second-hand ; we do not have incidents served up from the prolific imagination of a ready writer, but we have " moving accidents by flood and field," and " hair-breadth 'scapes th' imminent deadly breach," told by those who have actually ex perienced them and mingled in the scenes they describe, and told, too, in such a manner as to make it clear that the gallant actors in them can wield the pen at least as well as they can wield the sword. The volume now under our consideration, which is Part I. for the present year, opens with an article upon "The Social Wrongs of the Soldier;" and, although, as might be expects d, in one or two places it manifests, perhaps, a little too much esprit du corps, it sets forth, temperately, and with much justice, the prejudices the soldier has to encounter. Some of the prejudices, however, of which the writer complains, arise from a knowledge of the sources from which the army is recruited. If the personel of the army could be raised, the soldier would rise proportionably in public esteem. Com plaint is justly made against the aristocratic nature of the army as an institution, and that Government evidently desires to make it so, instead of a popular institution. In this complaint we entirely agree with the writer. It is, after all, the "cold shade of aris tocracy," as General Napier well phrases it, that presses most heavily upon the soldier and his prospects. We then have a concise and interesting account of " The Theatre of War in the Caucasus," in which the writer takes a rapid survey of the operations of the Russians in that region, and leaves it no longer matter of surprise that the heroic mountaineers should have maintained so long and successful a struggle with their gigantic enemy. But it is impossible within our brief limits to enumerate even a tithe of the contents of the volume before us, although we cannot refrain from referring, en passant, in terms of praise to the continuation of our friend Flexible Grummet's interesting " Reminiscences of a French Prison," and to a most graphic and spirited " Record of Indian Warfare," by Mr. Percy B. St. John. Perhaps the most interesting papers in the Magazine, however, at least in a professional point of view, are those upon " The Spirit of Military Institutions," by Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa. A work upon the art of war, by one of that brilliant group of warriors, the Marshals of the Empire, who, by the practical application of their principles, overran Europe with conquest, is alone sufficient to excite attention. These papers, moreover, are written in a popular and singularly clear and intelligible style, so much so that the most unprofessional reader may peruse them with interest, and to the military man we should say they are invaluable. In a word, this Magazine is one we can most cordially recommend, and considering its value as a book of reference, no library—certainly no military one—can be deemed complete without it. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally admitted common appearance. The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gqined by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can do with safety ; as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street.

On this forthcoming brilliant and most distinguished occasion, the attention of those ladies of rank and fashion, who will be honoured by an invite from her Gracious Majesty, is respectfully called to the new importation from China, designated " MEEN FUN " a cosmetic, justly celebrated for its influence on the skin and complexion, beautifying as well as improving it. By its application all cutaneous errors are quickly dissipated, such as blotches, tan, freckles, pimples, and eruptions of every kind, which are not only offensive to the eye, but painful to its victims. The article is a White Powder, prepared from oriental herbs of a most simple and harmless nature, and yet so salutary that it speedily allays all irrita tion of the skin, consequent on remaining in crowded assemblies which invariably causes a too-copious perspiration, whence originate the numberless evils before alluded to, besides discolouration, and coarseness of the skin, all of which may be counteracted and averted by resorting to this invaluable appendage to the toilet. The sole pro prietors are Fabian and Co., late Watson, Fabian, and Co., 2 4 , Mark-lane, London, without whose signature on the labels none are genuine.

BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANY, 1, Princes-street, Bank, and 448, West Strand, Lon don, March 1, 1845. Notice is hereby given, that in pursuanc e of a resolution passed unanimously at two successive General Meetings of Proprietors, a MUTUAL ASSURANCE BRANCH of this Institution has been established on terms peculiarly advantageous to the Assured, and that sach Branch is supported by the entire subscribed capital of the pri F e u ta ll ry partiars Branch. with every re- Company, together with the accumulated fund of premiums in the Pro from upwards of Six Thousand Policies , already effected are.stated in the Prospectus, which, quisite information, may be obtained on application at the office. PETER 3fORRISON, Managing Director. To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA. LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. GENTLEMEN,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leave to unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000 address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions, and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of the Company. That the " Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public, is clearly proved by the policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos sessed by the Company, it is only nee,essary for me to state, that two highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies for b3 A , , s stuwrna succes sive on have successively transferred their business to this establishment. The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the on th e plan set forth in the Prospectus, after it latter in the course of the past year. specially convened on the It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included i o m u s o u a s P l P y l 1 ca a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual b A a s d su be ra e n n ce su ß bnt ra i n u c e h d , occasion. utual Assure The general objection to M also in consequence to,ot' thean afford nce Societies, that (in their infancy, at least) they do not that complete security to the approved ting Assured which is supplied by the subscribed capital of Proprietary General Meetings of Proprietors, Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the " Britannia" Company ; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders protected by the entire subscribed capital of the Proprietary Branch, bat the large and continually-increasing Rind, accumulated from the d m u un na e n r Premiums on 6,000 Policies Mid effected in that Branch, consti tutes an immediately available D all the payment of the claims of the Assured, who will thus enjoy all security afforded by an old established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which experience has proved to be at the same time the safest and the best. Another serious objection to th of utual Assurance Plan (as gene rally acted on) is the high rate premium required to be paid, in the lint instance, in order to forma fund—not only for the payment of the claims, but also for the ii distribution of large bonuses among the policy-holders. This objection .a toes entirely removed by means of the half credit system detailed in prospectus.by allowing half the amount of the first five annual premiums to remain fer five years in the hands of the person assured, and applying, the bonus (to which he would otherwise become entitled \ , to the gradual liquida tion of the debt thus incurred with the Company, the policy-holder enjoys the rare advantage of a very low rate of premium, in the first instance, combined with that of a full participation, e ven tually, the profits. In availing myself of this opportunity o f congratulating my co shareholders on the extraora success which hitherto has at tended the operations of the Britannia Life Assurance Company, I trust I shall, at no very distant period, have still further to congratu of the late them on the complete success Mutual Assurance Branch, which, after the most anxious care and attention, has been founded on a plan calculated, i in every possible way, to benefit and accommo date the public. I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which has been afforded to me on their other instance only on the present important occasion, but also in every other instance in which their advice and assistance have been needful for promoting the interests of the nsti tution. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, PETER MORRISON, Managing Director. Britannia Life Mica ,l, Princes-street, Bank, London i 20tIt March,lB4s.

Morgan Rattler has resumed his rambling remarks on Horace and others, with an interest fully equal to that which pervaded the first notice. This was only what might have been expected from a critic of taste and judgment ; for, of all the Latin poets, Horace furnishes the most animated descriptions of the human passions, and at the same time the most play ful fancy. He has nothing sour in his whole cha racter ; he praises wine, but wine only to modera tion ; he invokes his friends to enjoy themst4ves, only to render life more agreeable, by using the "gools the gods provide," ; not by abusing them ; and even in his Satires he points out the follies and vices of mankind with such a compassion for human weak ness, that he rarely gives offence by harshness, while at the same time he renders virtue beautiful and vice hateful. Some of the translations given in the pre sent notice show a knowledge of the author, and furnish favourable specimens of versification —among others, we may mention the translation of the Ode in which Horace recounts his cowardly flight from the field of Philippi. The three following verses will enable the classical reader to judge for himself:— Pompey, that wert the first my heart to share ? With whom full oft I've sped the lingering day, Quaffing bright wine, as in our tents we lay, With Syrian spikenard in our glistening hair. With thee I shared Philippi's fiery flight, My shield behind me left, which was not well, When all that brave array was broke, and fell In the vile dust full many a towering wight. But me, poor coward, swift Mercurius bore, Wrapp'd in a cloud, through all the hostile din, While war's tumultuous eddies, closing in, Swept thee away into the strife once more. " A Holiday Trip to Gravesend and Rochester " is an amusing story, embodying historical accounts of these places, very suitable for the enlightenment of cockneys. The notice of Thiers' partial " His tory of the Consulate and Empire of France" under Napoleon is just. While he is admitted to be a spirited writer, and his accounts of battles graphic and interesting, the selfish national vanity which he displays, and the injustice he does to every character in any way opposed to his hero, are not overlooked. There is, says the reviewer, " no subject on which M. Thiers displays more malevolence, and ignorance, and misrepresentation, than on the right of belli gerents to search neutral vessels," but he has not yet read the third volume, for in that the ex-Minister throws all his other faults as a historian into the shade. The merits and demerits of the work are thus summed up—" It is the production of a brilliant Bonaparte partizan, who would again set the world in a blaze, for what is most sillily called the glory of France." On the Maynooth question Regina is very melancholy and desponding ; her darling state coachman is driving to perdition, she will no longer travel with him, and has absolutely left the " con cern." The growlings of Blackwood, and the awful forebodings of Fraser, prove, independent of our own conviction, that Peel is still an admirable driver, and that the old worn-out Tory party just require such a whip. Peel and the Irish Protestant Church, according to this far-seeing prophet, are alike doomed : " What are we to gain—what is Ireland to gain by increasing either the numbers or the condition of such priests as Maynooth has hitherto sent out, and must continue to send out, so long as they shall be forced to depend for their subsistence afterwards upon the volun tary offerings of their flocks ? Nothing. You must s u still r e d l o a o r k m y t o , a t n h d e e p x e p a e s r a i n e t n e c e l a s h s a t s 'o r n r o e t c r t u a i u t g s h to t 3r u • s u t r h t a o t n a peasant priesthood, however highly educated, is any wh e r e , unless liberally provided for by the civil Government, to be trusted. " On the whole, then, we cannot but regard this peace mtking measure of the Conservative Government as a signal failure. It has done nothing, it never will do any thing, towards conciliating the class that are to be bene fitted by it, or withdrawing their attention from other things. The Repealers accept it as an instalment, and laugh in their sleeves all the while ; for they not unfairly calculate that, through the indignation which it has ex cited, both here and elsewhere, in the breasts of Protes tants, it will facilitate rather than impede the final triumph of the cause which they advocate. Meanwhile, there is universal distrust in the Conservative camp. All confidence in public men is shaken ; and the general feeling seems to be, that, though matters may go on smoothly during the continuance of the present Parlia ment, a terrible crisis awaits us. Let us hope that it is not so; and, better still, let us be prepared. " since the preceding pages went to press, Mr. Ward i v ,~~~~~ has proposed his amendment, which Sir Robert Peel re sisted, and the House of Commons threw out. Be it ow yet we confess, that as far as our perception of right atut wrong goes; we really do not unclerstat:d the md/4 7 d the proceeding. The Minister who did not or iiiiriFiTiple to assent, a few years ago, to the plunder of one-fourth of the Irish clergyman's property, in order to give it lathe Irish landlord ; and who has no hesitation now in rob bing, by Act of Parliament, the Protestant people of England and Scotland, that he may have wherewithal to' endow permanently a Homan Catholic college in Ire— land, need nut, one would think, be very tender about applying the remaining funds of the Irish Church to any purpose which may seem to be desirable. He has not a shred of principle on which to rest his present obstinacy; for the principle, if partially conceded by the Whigs, has been altogether given by himself. Morever, our readers need not trouble them , .elves to speculate largely about this matt. r. The Irish branch of the united Church is doomed. A Conservative Government has signed its death warrant, and Sir Hubert Peel, if be be Prime Minister a few years longer, will do the office of executioner." DOLMAX'S MAGAZINE. The third Number of this periodical opens with au article entitled " The Genesis of Christendom, or the Beginning of the Middle Ages," the first of a series of sketches designed to illestrate the history of that obscure period. A more unpromising subject for the pages of a magazine could ln.rdly have been selected, for whatever records of the age remain present little else than an uninterrupted scene of barbarity, anarchy, and bloodshed. At the same time, it must be admitted that the task, though not a pleasing, is a most useful one, and the author has rendered the article palatable by quotations from our best modern historians. This number likewise contains the - biography of that arch impostor, Joseph Balsamo, better known as Count Cipliostro, whose ordi nary impostures weninfor many years the w der of Europe. The nature, ectent, and success, of ,is im postures at this day seem incredible. " Fashion and fanaticism combined to elevate Cagliostro to Adegree of general celebrity and estimation rarely attained by even illustrious men. Portraits of him adorned fans, rings, and snuff-boxes, medals—boxes and medals were cast of him—and beneath his bust were to be read the words Le devin Cagliostro.' " The vaga-: bond was born at Palermo, in 1743, and first gamma notoriety by pretending to a knowledge of the " Sack art." He sub,equently visited most of the European cities, which he laid under contribution, and his ad herents comprised persons of every class, even the highest. " Taking the secrets of fremasonry for a grand work whereon to erect a gorgeous superstruc,. ture of mystery and imposture, he became the apostle of a new sect or degree, to which he gave the name of the Egyptian rite, and of which„ pretending to be the grand cophte, or master, he sue-- ceeded in establishing lodges over all Europe." He renewed all the absurdities of the middle ages, and. declared his knowledge of the philosopher's stone, and' to the possession of a powder by which youth could he successfully maintained, and death successfully kept at bay. But the grand instrument of fraud was the masonic system. Cagliostro was initiated at Frankfort-on-the-Maine into the mysteries I pf the German illuminati, which is thus described : " The candidate is conducted through a gloomy cor ridor into an enormous hall, of which the roof, walls, and floors are alike covered with black cloth, picked out with flames and snakes. Three sepulchral lamps at in tervals emit a dying glare, which enables him to distin guish piles of human remains, and a sort of altar entirely formed of skeletons. Here he is abandoned to his re flections for eight consecutive hours, at the expiration of which, enter phantoms, clad in shrouds, who, after wan dering for a time in dead silence, disappear through trap-doors, from the invisible opening of which exhale the most pestiferous odours. The candidate passes twenty four hours in that darksome vault ; his energies are en feebled by a long fast ; he beholds three cups filled with greenish beverage ; he essays to drink, but turns with disgust away. At length arrive two seeming ministers of death. They bind the pallid brow of the candidate with a ribbon steeped in blood, place in his hands a metal crucifix, and hang certain amulets round his neck. He is then stripped, his clothes are thrown on a funeral pile, and crosses are traced with blood upon his body. In this state of suffering and humiliation, he is ap proached by five spectral figures, armed with huge sabres and enveloped in bloody draperies. Their faces are veiled—they fall to the ground, and remain for an hour as if absorbed in prayer. At the . expiration of that time plaintive accents are heard. The pile is fired. The garments of the candidate are consumed thereon. A colossal figure is seen to advance, and the five pros trate men appear to fall into the most terrible convul. sions. A trembling voice now articulates the oath which is to be taken by the candidate. He is made by it to swear, under the most awful penalties, that he will renoance every natural tie, forswear allegiance to all human authority, and respect l'aqua toffana, the deadliest of all poisons, as the grandest medium ever discovered for ridding the earth of the enemies of truth. The obligation having been taken, a candelabrum, with seven lighted tapers of black wax, is placed in front of the candidate. He is then plunged in a bath of blood and made to swallow a draught of it. A cold sweat seizes him ; from a state of delirious frenzy be falls into insensibi ity. . . . The ceremony is over, and a warm bath and a repast composed of various roots gradually restore him to his senses." Such are the hideous rites which the besotted votaries of superstition have practised even in the eighteenth century. Cagliostro, after a run of twenty year at length fell into the hands of the tioinan Inquisitors, and died in prison in 1795. The remaining articles we have not space to ob serve upon. As a fair specimen of the poetry of this number, we select the following " On a Wild Flower rom the Grave of Burns" : S, e this wild flowret cull'd on the bard's lowly grave, Where its tribuLo of fragrance it modestly gave— 'Tis the symbol of him o'er whose reli c s It bloomed, The songster of nature, by nature entombed. Like this flowret, he grew all uncultur'd and wild— Untutor'd by man, he was Nature's own child; And the dear fragrant sweets of his own teeming soul Breath'd gently around, without guide or control. The sweet scent of the plant has now faded away, But the songs of the Minstrel of Scotland shall stay ; And fancy shall hasten its homage to pour O'er the grave ‘A here once blossom'd this wild desert flower.

THE BRITISH MAGAZhVE. This magazine is chiefly devoted to serious and re ligious subjects ; in the present number, there is an interesting article on " Modern Hagiology," exposing the errors of those Commentators who seek to im prove the Sacred Text by their own additions. " Correspondence" includes letters on " Prophecy," the " Clergy and the Middle Classes," " Vestiges of Creation," and various other subjects. But the mo t important topic, the topic of the day, is of course Maynooth; the remarks on this subject are worthy of attention, characterised as they are by extreme mode ration and forbearance. As a firm supporter of the Church of England, the writer approves of the May nooth grant, on the ground that education is ever the forerunner of truth. We recommend the following remarks to the attention of those who fear that the Established Church will suffer from the change : " We believe that this measure will serve the Church, will tend to its stability and ultimate increase, and what it may not be wrong to co nsider even more important o ti t ian tru th th is garntdatrochajlecrte,ltighaintnit a w m -tl o l n te g nd th t e o I t r h i e sh promotion in general.
