DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE. It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms In the human body, and which is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of importance that every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue, particularly heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, fre quent itching of the nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the bowels also, vale and emaciated countenance, and at ether times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of In clination to take exercise, Inflammation of the eyes, &c., &c. These are smne of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms; adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost safety have recourse to this old established medicine, which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp toms thus described, which are produced by worms, and to a trial of this safe and effectual remedy, the value of which is corroborated by numerous testimonials through a long period of years. This medicine may be administered with confidence to children or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine ment. Its efficacy is also particularly beneficial as an alterative medicine,' insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and promoting a healthful vigour to the s hole system.

The inquiry into the circumstances connected with the mysterious death of Sarah Snelling , aged 53, l a t e housekeeper to Mr. John Meddle , of 14 , Claremont place Wandsworth-road, was re - opened yester day afternoon, at three o'clock, by Mr. T. Hi ggs, the coroner for the ducby of Lancaster, at the Na g ' s Head. Mr. John Parrott, of Clapham -. common, surgeon, said he had proceeded with the ana l ysis of the sto mach. He had, as minutely as he could, analysed for those poisons frequently given, such as arsenic, prussic acid, and oxalic acid. He had also endea voured to detect the presence of chloroform, but there was not the slightest trace of any of the above poisons having been used. He felt, there fore, quite unable to account for the death of the deceased. Mrs. Jane Stevenson, of 2, Claremont-place, stated that on Sunday, the 28th ult., about 20 minutes to eleven o'clock, she saw Mr. Maddle leave the house, arid the deceased in the garden, who locked the gate after him. James Saunders, a youth about 17 years of age, the son of a carpenter, living at 1, Chapel-place, Wandsworth-road, but employed at a hatter's in Birchin-lane, where he generally stayed, deposed that on the dsy in question he was at his father's house, and looking cut of the front parlour-window he saw a man walk out of Mr. Maddle's house, open the gate, and go out. He had nothing in his hand. Ile ap peared to have a brown coat on. He walked very stately, and went in the direction of Vauxhall. He was an elderly man. Did not see enough of his face to recognise him again. John King, 10, Lavender-row, labourer, deposed that in the morning of Sunday week, about half-past eleven, be was standing about seventy yards beyond Mr. Maddle's house, when he heard a whistle, and on looking up he saw a man standing under the side of Mr. Maddle'l garden wall, from which he appeared to have alighted. The man walked some distance to wards Battersea-fields. He had a small bundle in a red handkerchief under his arm. He was shortly after joined by another man, carrying a blue bag ; the one was a short man in a long frock eoat with dark hair; the other was taller, having light hair and a short coat. The CORONER then read over the voluminous evidence ; after which the room was cleared of strangers. . . . . . After an hour's consultation, the jury returned the following verdict :—" That the ,said Sarah Snelling was found dead under very mysterious circumstances ; that there were no marks of violence or discoloration on the body, nor any trace of poison ; that the body had been opened and examined by a properly qualified medical man, together with an analysis of the con. tents of the stomach and bowels, but that there was no conclusive evidence to the jury as to the cause of de ceased's death." BOTANIC MEDICAL SOCIETY. Last evening the quarterly general meeting of this society took place at the Medico' Botanic Hall, Duke• street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, Dr. Coffin, the founder of the institution, occupying the chair. There was a very numerous attendance of the friends and members of the society present, all of whom partook of tea before the business of the evening was commenced. The hall was very tastefully fitted up for the occasion. Some routine matters having been disposed of, Dr. COFFIN gave some very pleasing and interesting details of the success of the system of botanic medicine which he was the first to establish in this country. The report laid before the meeting by the secretary. Mr. William Ford, stated that branch associations were being formed in nearly every one of the principal towns in England with the greatest success. Resolutions pledging those present to support the botanic system were unanimously adopted, and the meeliug separated on passing a ♦ote of thanks to Dr. Ccffin, who bristly replied to the compliment. FRENCH PLAYS-ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. M. Lafont made his first appearance for this season last evening in Alexandre Dumas' comedy Les De moiselles de St. Cyr. This comedy, which has always been a great favourite with the audience of this theatre, went off last evening as brilliantly as ever. Lafont, who appeared in excellent health and excellent spirits, acted admirably, and was applauded to the echo. lie was excellently supported by Mademoiselle Nathalie and M. Regnier. The house was well and fashionably attended. STRAND THEA TRE. Net to be Done is the title of a new farce, which was produced here last evening, and which, thanks to the excellent acting of Mr. Leigh Murray, Mr. H. Farren, and Miss H. Marshall, achieved a great suc cess. The scene takes place at a certain New Year's day party, and the plot turns on an agreement en tered into between two young men, that whichever of them remained single on the day of the party should pay to the other 1001., if the other had, in the mean time, married. One of them, represented by Mr. Leigh Murray, is really married, and the other, re presented by Mr. H. Farren, in order to avoid pay ment of the bet, introduces a servant girl (admirably acted by Miss M. Marshall) as his wife • who, by her intense vulgarity, soon arouses the suspicions of his opponent, who, retiring shortly afterwards, re turns as a drunken old cobbler, who pretends to be the father of the pretended wife, having sufficiently disgusted the pretended husband, and roused the ire of his uncle at this mesalliance, he retires, but only to return as a snuffy old woman, the mother of the damsel ; the advent of the mother is too much, the pretended husband repudiates his wife, confesses the trick, and pays the one hundred pounds to his oppo nent, who was " not to be done." The acting of Mr. Leigh Murray in these different disguises exhibited a versatility for the possession of which the world had not previously given bins credit. Mr. H. Farren was excessively amusing, and the vulgarity of Miss M. Marshall was gloriously rich. At the fall of the curtain the applause was general. The house was crowded. IMPROVEMENT OF THE HIGHLAND SMALL TE NANTRY.—PORTREE, SKYE, APRIL 29.—Last week a numerous and influential meeting was held in the Court House here, for the purpose of establishing a Hebridean Branch of the Royal Patriotic Society of Scotland. At the instance and through the medium of the Perthshire Ladies' Relief Association, the secretary of the former institution has been employed during the past month in selecting industrious small tenants, putting them upon an improved system of husbandry, whereby their produce may bolargely increased, obtaining leases for them of the various proprietors, advancing seed corn, guano, &c., and making arrangements for further advances or small loans, to enable them to con struct improved cottages, after the models of the above so ciety. The poor Highlanders have hailed such truly judi cious and patriotic efforts for their amelioration with un feigned gratitude, and at the meeting at Portree, on the 25th instant, which was attended by ministers of various religious denominations, and by tho influential inhabitants of the island, expressions of approval of the principles of the Royal Patriotic Society were unanimously made, and thanks were voted to the Perthshire Ladies' Highland Re lief Association for the carrying out of those principles, and the commencement of an enlightened and an efficient sys tem of permanent amelioration, and the only source of regret are that it was not earlier commenced and is not co extensive with the destitution with which it is requisite to grapple. - - EXTRAORDINARY BLAST OF ROCK.—At the Silver Mine Lime Works, Linlithgowshire, the property of Robert Aitken, Esq., 3,700 tons of stones were recently raised at one blast. The quantity of powder used to detach this im mense weight of stone was 5 cwt. This, we believe, is the most extraordinary blast of rock which has ever been effected in Scotland.—Glasgow Mail. LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF YOUNG FEMALES.—The anniversary dinner of this most excellent, most meritorious, but comparatively ill-supported institution, took place yesterday at the London Tavern. Lord Robert Grosvenor, in the absence of Sir Culling Eardley, Bart., took the chair. Want of space compels us merely to announce, that Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., was compelled to retire at an early hour, and that his place was filled by Mr. Digby Seymour, barrister-at-law. Suffice it to say, that seventy young females, under fifteen years of age, are now fed, clothed, religiously educated, and fitted for respectable servi tude in the asylum at Tottenham. The asylum will accom modate at least thirty additional inmates. Many are now waiting, and if not soon admitted must return to a vicious course of life. Numerous applications are also continually being made, but no more can be received for want of funds. Shall these young creatures continue in sin? or shall the committee be encouraged by liberal contributions to rescue from ruin those who are asking day after day for admission ? The dinner was provided with a profusion and taste Worthy of the fame of Messrs. Bathe and Co. RICHMOND THEATIM—During the past week the performances at this theatre have been under the direction of Mr. F. Butler, late of the Olympic. The pieces performed were not the best that could have been selected, but what was done was well done. The only exception to the fore going remark, with respect to selection, was She Stoops to Conquer and The Eton Boy, for which Miss J. Coleman (late one of the Ve3tris troupe) was engaged to sustain the part of the sporting hero, Tom; which she did with much comic power and success. _ _ [ADVEATISEMENT.]—A Wonderful Cure of Wounds and a Debilitated Constitution Renovated by Holloway's Oint ment and Pills.—Mr. Male, storekeeper, of Gundagai, New South Wales, states that these medicines have effected a most astonishing cure on a settler in his vicinity, who was dreadfully afflicted with wounds on various parts of his body—his consti tution was so debilitated that his death was considered certain, but the application of Holloway's Ointment and Pills have per formed wonders, for this young man has been completely cured, and so extraordinary is the case that the Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald has given publicity to it in his paper of January 4, 1848.—Sold by all Druggists and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 2.44, Strand, London. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. —Contrary to general ex pectation, the management of this theatre is to continue in the hands of Mr. Maddox, who has obtained a renewed lease, having out-generalled Mr. C. Kean, on the eve of the com pletion of all necessary arrangements by the latter gentle man for entering into possession. Those, therefore, who looked forward to the enjoyment next season of an efficient company, elegant -decorations, and all those attractions which might confidently be anticipated under the auspices of the Keans and Keeley s, must cantinuet o regale themselves with thq perpetuation of that operatic brilliancy in all its origi nality which has so long and deeply fascinated the fre quenters of this dazzling house. NEW QUALIFICATIONS FOR CUSTOM-HOUSE CLERKS.—The Commissioners of the Board of Customs have just issued an order that no person can be appointed to fill a clerkship in the Customs hereafter who has not a knowledge of the French and German languages, and of arithmetic and algebra. IMPROVEMENTS AT KENSINGTON.—The houses directly opposite the Queen's-road, in High-street, will bo thrown down, and a road to Brompton will be carried on from that particular point. The barracks which at present adjoin Kensington will also be removed, and a new pile erected in another position. THE ROYAL ACADEMY. Actuated by a conciliatory spirit towards that " Fourth Estate," which has recently betrayed a dis position to prevent all further mismanagement of affairs at the National Gallery, the Council of the Royal Academy decided this year, for the first time in the annals of their institution, to admit the repre sentatives of the principal London newspapers to the private view of their exhibition of paintings. As journalists participating in the benefit of this proceed ing, we cannot of course do otherwise than commend a concession to the requirements of the public, which we are fain to regard as an augury of yet larger inno vations and of yet more comprehensive improvements. The mere circumstance here particularised has, it is true,: revived to our recollection subjects already dis cussed by ourselves in common with many of our contemporaries, subjects intimately affecting the con venience of the metropolis, and the popularity of the Royal Academy ; yet it must be at once obvious to_ the general apprehension that any direct reference to the matters hinted at would at this particular moment evince the worst taste imaginable. .We shall, there fore, content ourselves with the present cursory al lusion, reiterating our belief, or rather our sanguine expectation, that the advantage just accorded to the press with a graceful and spontaneous promptitude, may prove the guarantee in regard to the conduct of the affairs of, the Academy of a rapid and general re organization. Few will leave the seven apartments decorated with the works of the exhibitors, for the spring season of 1850, with an ythi ng lik e feelings of disappoint ment. For, with less of those productions which fail to rise above the level of mediocrity, the collec tion for this year is characterised by a larger number of those remareable pictures which are manifestly the effusions of artistic genius. Unfortunately we have cause to mourn over the permanent disappear ance from the ranks of the principal competitors of one whose labours have materially tended to advance the cause of Art in Eng land, and whose reputation even before his demise had already grown up into classic propor tions. IVith all his undoubted blemishes—blemishes more especially visible to the painstaking hypercriti cism of this age of perverse and petulant depreciation —William Etty had nevertheless capacities so ripened by reflection and practice as to compensate, nay, even more than compensate, for his conspicuous deficiencies in idealized delicacy and refinement. Those who could pass unmoved by any sentiments of pride or admira tion round the gallery not long since adorned by the collected works of this great master, those who could not experience some emotions of exultation in the powers which had there tended to honour and to ele vate the school of British artists, and which, while realising some of the dreams of our national ambition, had the yet further merit of exciting much prospec tive emulation, will of course traver se , thiaseason, the rooms of the toyal Academy without one regret for the distinguished artist whose genius and industry have so often enhanced the value of its annual exhi bitions. Others there are, we are gratified to know, who will turn in grateful retrospect to the memory of Etty, as to that of not one of the least of the de ceased academicians. Among such individuals, we are satisfied that it will be a matter rather of annoyance than of pleasure to find an in different trifle like "The Toilet" (276) paraded as a specimen of the late Mr. Etty's abilities. Had none of his productions displayed more beauty than this coarse and uncomely female, he would scarcely have elicited from us at his departure a panegyric which, to our mind, is not more earnest than it is deserved. Another of the great masters of the Royal Academy demands from us some sorrowful consideration ; fur, although his life is still happily spared, his genius has long since departed. We say this advisedly, with all deference to the opinion of Mr. Ruskin, and with all respect for the powers formerly displayed by the object of his idolatry—Joseph Mellord William Turner. Our homage for the capacities of this extraordinary painter, as they were revealed in years now, alas ! bygone, can scarcely be surpassed by any less enthu siastic than the Oxford graduate. Nevertheless, or possibly we should say, hence, while acknowledging a certain charm iu the arrangements of the colouring in his latest productions, we do most energetically protest egainst works so flagrantly defiant of all the rules, even the ele mentary rules of art—and of all the laws, the eternal laws and diurnal appearances of nature. What can possibly be meant, we should like exceedingly to know, by the little black dog or diabolical grimalkin looming in the middle of the picture (192), entitled "Eneas relating his Story toDido ?" Or s%hat ' again, can be the earthly or unearthly meaning of (373) the " Visit to the Tomb," where the sunset is indicated by smears of yellow paint such as would be disgrace ful as the work of a journeyman glazier. Better than these, as being somewhat less incomprehensible, is (174) "Mercury sent to admonish eEneas," and (082) the "Departure of the Fleet," the whole four being additional illustrations to that manuscript poem of the "Fallacies of Hope," which seems to have effected a most moonlike and dementing influence over Mr. Tur ner's imagination. As nothing whatever can be said in commendation of' these eccentric and ultra-capricious vagaries of the brush, as far as the beautiful is con cerned, perhaps we may be permitted to intimate the possibility of discerning in them some degree of utility—their motley array of' colours suggesting more brilliant patterns for the calico printers than the most gorgeous kaleidoscope ever manufactured. Among the more prominent de faulters in reference to the present exhibition we have reason to regret the non-appearance, this May, as ex hibitors, of Mr. Herbert and Mr. Mulready, men whose supremacy in their different departments en ables us but ill to afford their temporary withdrawal from competition. Fortunately, however, for the real admirers of art, we can recognise still many eminent names in the catalogue, and upon the walls of the different apartments admire the exquisite products of their in dustry. Foremost among them, Mr. Eastlake rivets our attention by his impressive portrayal of (72) "The Good Samaritan"—a work which in the severe simplicity of its treatment, the purity of its colouring, and the forcefulness of its expression, immediately arrests our observation. Although, of course from the very subject of it, with less emotional energy and anima tion than the (169) "Escape of Francisco di Carrara," copied by Mr. Eastlake from his original production so entitled, the " Good t'amaritan" is immeasurably superior in point of attraction as well as in general merit, being in short one of the most successful effusions of his artistic ability. Edwin Landseer contributes three pictures to the collection, the two smaller and less pretentious ones being, to our think ing, infinitely preferable to the huge oblong painting (189) of " A Dialogue at Waterloo;" and this, notwithstanding the inimitable representation of the horses in this historical picture, the felicitous likeness of the Duke and his daughter-in-law, and the capital group depicted in the left, where the young Garde-Chasse has thrown his game on the turf, and is leisurely enjoying his luncheon. Admirable, a; examples of Mr. Landseer's genius as an an t una f painter, are (.533) " Good Doggie, the_ property of Lady Murchison," one of the finest dog portraits . ever produced; and (281) "The Lost Sheep, where e feel, in looking at it, almost as snow-bitten as the shepherd, almost as suffo cated as the sh rep, and almost as excited in the search after the missing un fortunate, as the dog who is yelping barks of distr ess . Conspicuous among the works of our English artists is the great painting by I de la Roche, th e art i st par excellence among the present generat i on of Frenc h men (369), " Cromwell looking at the Dead Body of Charles I."—aproduction of suc h extraord i nary mer it as to deserve this early and especial reference. It would be well for many if our native painters were to scan this noble effusion of the genius of M. Paul de la Roche with that eclectic appreciation which draws materials for improvement from all themes, whether foreign or indigenous. Unlike most of his recent pictures, which have soared into the loftier regions of the art, Mr. Maclise this year reverts, and with eminent success, to his earlier style, giving us his version of that immortal incident in the "Vicar of Wakefield " (56) " The Gross of Green Spectacles." Nothing could be more truly or more purely in the spirit of Goldsmith, more rich in humour or more geneial in sentiment. Motes, all innocence at his mishap, explaining with outstretched hands the circumstances of his bargain, Olivia, looking round lovingly, but reproachfully too, as if she said—" Oh you dear silly fellow, how could you!" Mrs. Primrose, in horror at the misfortune, the little ones breathless with curiosty at sight of the boxful of spectacles in their shagreen cases, and the Vicar scanning his property with an air at once serious and saddened. The painting is altogether, in its way, a masterpiece. Another work by the same artist (160) represents his " Spirit of Justice," no w painted in fresco, at the new palace at Westminster. Alt hou g h Mr. Webster has contributed no less than f our pic tures, all of them excellent, and one (98) "A Cherry seller," produced with exceeding brillianey, we yet missed that industry and consummate genius of humour which last season developed themselves in his large picture of the boys sliding. In the humorous, nevertheless, the presen t collection is singularly rich : instance this, Itlr. Leslie's ( 125 ) " Torn Jones showing to Sophia Western herself, as h er best security for his Good Behaviour ;" his (95) I " Beatrice,' in her garden concealment and Mr. r•:rrtt, Lt.A. 4+ 7.4 - - Frith's two most comic pictures (332)3 Sairdho - ' tilling the Duchess z4a tale iu ... ,. to : , _,:.

Martin's sublime picture of (411) " The Last Man," although marred by the habitual coarse ness of his execution, is a work not unworthy of his splendid and poetic imagination. Roberts is still rich in :his delineations of: architecture ; Stan field soars for once higher than his ordinary representations of landscape, attempting, though somewhat unsuccesifully, the illustration of Siaak spere ; Sidney Cooper vies more than ever in his lovely cattle pieces with the works even of Cuyp and Paul Potter ; but to these and to several of the other distinguished competitors for popularity in the ex hibition we must refer especially on another and more convenient occasion. MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED). ST. JAMES'S. The interesting biography of Captain John Smith, the original planter ot the colonies of Virginia and New England, is concluded in this number of the St. James's. "Autumn Walks to Historic Sites" takes us to Cintra, and pleasantly does our pedestrian discourse on the scenery and legends of that Portu guese Eden. - Under the title of " A Court Favourite" we have a vindication of the character of Piers Gaveston from the misrepresentations of the feudal and monkish historians. The fact Gaveston was a man of taste, of refinement, a scholar, a lover of art, and, for the age in which he lived, a philosophic and a scientific man, qualifications sufficient then, as now, to make him at once feared, hated, and envied, by a coarse and unrefined territorial aristocracy. The " Singular Trial" for the month is that of Mrs. Macleod for a forgery on the Duchess of Gordon ; and " What I saw in London" is a running commentary on the va • rious exhibitions of the month, and will no doubt form from henceforth a standing title amongst the papers of the St. James's. ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL. Undaunted and unaffected by the number - of rivals, some of them, moreover, formidable ones, in the way of cheap weekly periodicals, the editress and originator of this popular publication has carried her journal on triumphantly to the conclusion of the second volume. And with a continuance of the same ability which has been already displayed in the conduct of this charming miscellany, we doubt not but that Eliza Cook will contribute thus substantially, for years to come, to the bookshelves of her countrymen. One consideration alone ought of itself to animate her to the continuance of her pre sent efforts, at the same time that it affords her the highest degree of satisfaction in the contemplation of her past exertions—and that is the reflection that, while aiding in the intellectual amusement of the people, she has also added largely to the materials for their wholesome instruction. Her merit in this respect, and the merit of her journal as one of the many means now exists ing for the removal of the curse of popular ignorance have very recently been acknowledged in the House, of Commons, by a representative who not unde servedly coupled the name of Eliza Cook in this re gard with the honoured names of those true friends of the people, the distinguished publishers, Charles Knight and the Chamberses. Under any cir cum.tances, the press might have augured with confidence the success of such a periodical as the present, undertaken under such auspices as that of our popular poetess ; but especially are we justified in predicting the continued prosperity of Eliza Cook's Journal, seeing that it has successfully completed a second volume in the midst of a large and energetic competition. Among the more noticeable contributions to the twelfth part now before us are the concluding chapters of " Lucy Dean " from the hand of the in dustrious " Silverpen." In proof that the editress herself is stifles felicitous as ever in her poetical effu sions ; we transcribe the following admirable and energetic stanzas, esititled, THE GALLOPING STEED, There's a courser we ne'er have been able to rein— Ile careers o'er the mountain, he travels the main— He's Eternity's Arab—he trieth his pace With the worlds in their orbits, and winneth the race. Oh! a charger of mettle I warrant is he, That will ye eary his riders whoe'er they may be, And wo al of us mount, and he bears us along Without hearing our check-word or feeling our thong; No will dues he heed, and no rest does ho need, Oh! a brave Iron Grey is this galloping steed. On, on, and for ever, for ever, he goes— Where his halting place is—not the wisest one knows; He waits not to drink at the Joy-rippled rill, lie lags not to breathe up the Pain•furrowed hill. Right pleasant forsooth is our place on his back, When he bounds in the sun on Life's flowery track, When his musical hoofs press the green moss of Hope; And ho tramples the pansy on Love's fairy slope, Oh, the journeying then is right pleasant indeed, As we laugh in our strength on this galloping steed. But slack and alas! he is soon off the grass, With dark stony defiles and dry deserts to pass, And his step is so hard and he raises such dust, That full many are groaning, yet ride him they must. On, on, through the gloomy morass of Despair— Through the thorns of Remorse and the yew•trees of Care; Our limbs and our forehead are sore to the quick, But still we must ride him, bruised, weary, and sick; Gentle hearts may be shaken and stirred till they bleed But on they must go with this galloping steed. In the stone-hurdled churchyard he maketh no stop, But the boldest perchance of his riders will drop, They may cling to him closely, bat cannot hold fast When he leaps o'er the grave-trench that Death openod last. Betrapped and bedecked with his velvet and plumes, A grand circle he runs in the show-place of tombs; He carries a King—but he torneth the crypt, And the Monarch that strode him so gaily bath slipped, Yet, ou goes the barb ut the top of his speed, What's the fall of such things to this galloping steed? Right over the pyramid walls does he bound, In the Babylon deserts his hoof prints are found, He snorts in his pride—and the temples of light Wear a shadowy mist like the coming of night. On, on, and for ever, he turns not aside, Ile rt cks not the road, be it narrow or wide; In the paths of the city he makath no stay, Over Marathon's Plain he is stretching away. Oh! show mo a pedigree, find mo a speed, - That shall rival the lame of this galloping steed. lie bath traversed the Past, through tho Prosent he flies, With the Future before him right onward he hies; Ile skims the broad waters, he treads the dark woods, On, on, and for ever, through farests and floods. Full many among us are riding him now— All tired and gasping with sweat on our brow. We rosy suffer and writhe, but 'tis everin vain, So let's sit on him bravely and scorn to complain; For we know there's a goal and a glorious weed, For the riders of Time—that old galloping steed. Upon this quotation alone, we might with confi dence rest assurregdtehraatl ouracceptation. tin. B epatpaprooval ofutthoethjeorurna wou ld meet with en tes timonies of the correctness of our judgment have long since become familiar with the people, and have se cured for Eliza Cook' s J ourna l a popularity that cannot speedily be dissipated. COLONIAL MAGAZINE. An elaborate article on "The Slave Trade;" three on Indian affairs, of which that "On the Police of India" is especially worthy of attention ; and a review of Mr. Sirr's popular work, " Ceylon and the Clogs lese," form the principAl contents of the number for the present month, which is fully equal in interest and valuable information to any of its predecessors. FACTORY RELAY WORKING EXPLAINED. - ---- ------- .. HAWICK, MAY 5, 1850.—This _ mode of working exciting so much interest at present consists is giving employment to one-half more hands than the Bill of Lord Ashley. Suppose a manufacturer has two " sets" of machinery that re quire twenty persons to 'work them under a strictly Ten Hours' Bill, if he adopt relay working thirty persons will be required , a nd still none of them will work more than ten ,hours each, and eight bhdeaiiffnirge.rpeaanstttottsBiml times thirty t ft he hours on the Saturday.
