Extract from the " London Medical Gazette" of Dec. 3, 1831. ‘, We must not omit to mention the Bath for Hot Air or Va pour made by Mr. Rippon, of Castle-street East ; it goes into an extremely small compass, is equally efficient, and much cheaper than any of the others we have seen." The Bath alluded to by the Editor of the " Medical Ga zette " has been very much improved within the last few days, although previously allowed by all who have used it to be more complete than any other. For portability and simplicity it is unequalled ; the most inexperienced person can apply it in one minute, without removing the patient or clothes from the bed, and, at the expense of twopence, produce perspiration in four minutes. It can be used for vapour. Price of the Machine, with Spirit Lamp, & - c., I Os. Portable Frame for the Bed, 10s. Packed for the country, 2s. 6d. extra.

The following letter has been addressed to the Editor o' the Morning Chronicle:— regret to inform you that a case of spasmodic cholera has occurred at Doncaster; perhaps, on hearing the case, you may deem it necessary to call the attention of his Majesty's Government to the fact ; because, whilst the diseise can be so easily spread by travelling mendicants, it is ridiculous to use precautionary measures by ordering vessels to perform quarantine. I am, Sir, yours truly, JOHN S. PIERCY. East Retford, Jan. 10. It appears that the deceased was a travelling mendicant, and arrived at Doncaster on Saturday last. After follow ing his vocation there, he set out on his road to Tickhill, but, on getting about three miles from the former town, he became so ill as to be obliged to return. He did so, and went to a lodging-house, where he was shortly after seized with the cramp in his extremities ; his nails turned black, his flesh became shrivelled up, and turned to a lead colour; he continued getting worse and worse for three or four hours, when death put a period to his sufferings. He was interred, along with his clothes, in about two hours afterwards. Su that without a full stop be put to tramping, the disease, which might have terminated in the north, will be conveyed to all parts of the kingdom. Those gifted with much imagination are most addicted to waking dreams. There are some men whose minds are so practical and so thoroughly prosaic, that they seldom get beyond th e boundaries of absolute reality : others are so ideal and excursive, that they have a perpetual tendency to transcend the limits of absolute truth, to leave this " visible diurnal sphere" behind, and, on the pinions of fancy, soar away into the regions of poetry and romance. Waking dreams are merely the efforts of unbridled imagination. This faculty, when exercised under common cir cumstances, is kept in strict subordination to reason, which guides and restrains it in its flights, and never for a moment permits us to suppose that the fictions it calls forth are reali ties. But when the sway of the reasoning faculty is shaken off—when the spirit mounts upwards, " unfettered and alone," and we forget that the sights revealed to► it are merely. illusive visions, then, and then only, are we assailed by waking dreams. These curious states of mind may occur at any time ; but the most common periods of their. accession are shortly after we lie down, and, in the morning, shortly before get ting up ; they are, in fact, a species of castle bu►lding. Men of vivid, sanguine, imaginative temperaments have dreams of this kind every morning and night. Instead of submitting to the sceptre of sleep, they amuse themselves with creating a thousand visionary scenes. Though all the while broad awake, their judgment does not exercise the slightest sway over them ; on the contrary, its functions are suspended, and fancy becomes " lord of the ascendant." The train of ideas which fill the mind at this time depend much upon the age, situation, and character of the individual. If he pine ardently after wealth, his mind is probably filled with visions of gran deur and opulence ; and the hallucination is often so great that he supposes these things to be in his actual possession. If he be young and un married, he perhaps conjures up the form of some lovely female, whom he invests with the beauty of an angel ; and love, marriage, chil dren, and all the delights of the matrimonial state, seen in perspective through the deep vista of many coining years, are the result. Whatever emotions prevails has a character of extrava gance ; we see every thing through the serene atmosphere of imagination, and imbue the most trite circumstances with poetical colouring. The aspect, in short, which things assume, bears a strong resemblance to that impressed upon them by ordinary dreams. They are equally full of pathos and of beauty ; and only differ in this, that, though verging continually on the limits of exaggeration, they seldom transcend possibility. —Macnish's Philosophy of Sleep.

CASE OF CHOLERA IN SUFFOLK There appears to Le little doubt that the case of which we made mention last week was, in all its chief characte ristics, one of real malignant cholera. We understand that the patient, previous to this attack, was in a state both of mind and body peculiarly predisposing him to such a dis ease. From having been respectable in his station, he of late yews became dissipated, and has been confederating with persons of bad character. He had been for some weeks in a very depressed and nervous state, it is supposed, through fear of disclosures which were likely to be made on the trial of some of his associates at our prevent Quarter Sessions. —Bury Herald. The case alluded to occurred at Stowlangtoft, and the symptoms are thus given by Mr. Young, the surgeon in attendance :—" After some slight indisposition and tendency to bowel complaint, the patient had been suddenly seized with uneasiness at stomach and giddiness, followed by the peculiar vomitings and purgings of this disorder; the shrunk and aged countenance, the sunken eye ball, the shrivelled and blue extremities, the livor of the lips and face, the pulseless and clay-cold trunk, the cold tongue, the utter prostration of t:rength, the extraordinary whisper (so characteristic of the complaint as to have been named the vox cholerica), the painful cramps of the extremities and body, the absence of delirium, the insatiable thirst, the non-secretion of urine—are all so many concurring evi dences of the real nature of the attack. Among the most remarkable of the post mortent appearances, I might men tion the distension of the heart and large vessels (even of the aorta) with black blood, the conjunction of the large veins and of the viscera, the corrugated state of the large intestine, the green vitiated bile of the gall bladder, and particularly the contracted state of the urinary bladder, which was found not to be so large as a small walnut." The Keith Douglas, Trotter master, arrived at St. Margaret's Hope, near Queensferry, on the 4th instant, from Newcastle, last from Shields, which she left on the Ist. One of the seamen, of the name of Davidson, died on the 2d of cholera morbus, after twenty-nine and a half hours' illness. Another of the crew was in an alarming state, and the remainder exhibited symptoms of the disease. The most effective means are adopted by Government at this quarantine station to prevent communication with the shore, and to afford relief to those labouring under the disease. —Caledonian 3i rcury. We are sorry to beai that many hundred workmen are still out of employ at Merthyr. The Ma gistrates are continually employed in removing large fami lies to their respective parishes, chiefly to Carmarthen_ shire, Pembrokeshire, and Cardiganshire. It is calculated that the expellee of removals since the Union Clubs com menced have cost the parish of Merthyr 5001.—C aia . brian. A melancholy occurrence took place last week at East Peckham, near Maidstone. A man named STREETER and his wife, who bad been married not quite a twelve month, were both drowned in the Medway. It appears that they did not live happily together, and on the day of the accident, they had, it is supposed, a quarrel, when the wife, who was enciente, threatened to drown herself, and unfortunately put her threat into execution. The husband jumped in after her, it is supposed, to attempt her rescue, but both were unhappily drowned. When taken out of the water the man was quite dead, his hand grasping the woman's 'foot; life was not quite extinct in her, bat she soon after died. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Beans. Per Quarter. 8. to s.

In the chamber ehe found a young man, whom she seized, exclaimin g You rogue, how durst you attempt to rob poor persons in this way?" The thief im mediately dropped a bunch of skeleton keys, of various sizes, calculated principally to fit the locks of outer doors. Mrs. BLAIcE kept her hold of the collar of the thief till an officer, named DANIEL HUGHES, took him into custody. A box had been removed from its place, and a quantity of clothing, &c. had been placed ready for carrying off, when the prisoner was detected. The man (who called himself JAMES HAUGHTON) was searched by liunius, who found in his pocket another skeleton key, which would unlock the door of the house, a phosporus bottle, and some matches. He was brought up at the New Bailey on Thursday last, when he was recognised as an old offender. The facts of this case being deposed to, he was committed for trial.—Manchester Guardian. POTTS alias PAGE, who made his escape from Bow-street, on Friday last, went, about five o'clock the same evening, in the company of a porter from one of the wharfs from Bankside, to the Rose and Ball, Bennett's- Doetots' Commons, where he bad a bed. He was dressed in a blue jacket and trowsers, and bad a bundle with him containing a rough great-coat, such as is worn by the police. He affected to be a stranger in London, and a " smuggler." When he went to bed, he asked the landlord (Mr. KINGSTON) to take care of his money (seven sovereigns) ; but before he was up, the servant saw him with a large purse containing a great quantity of gold. As soon as Mr. KINGSTON was up, he asked for his money, and requested him to get a person to show him the way to the Elephant and Castle. On his way over Blackfriars% bridge, he said he had returned from transportation, and the officers were after him ; but he should soon be in France ; they went together to London-street, ne ir the Obelisk, where in a room, on the first floor, there were four persons sleeping on the ground : one of whom, a young man, got up, and went out with them. He then asked what he had to pay, and the man demanded a shilling. He gave him eighteenpence, saying be liked to be well paid, and walked away with the young man towards the Elephant and Castle. NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION. The weekly muting of the Council took place at the Rooms in Leicester-square, last night. Mr. RAINFORD in the Chair, The rooms were quite filled with the members of the Union ; amongst whom we noticed Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Bentley, (of Kent), &c. Some of the members' wives were also present. After the minutes had been read and confirmed. Mr. DETROSIER (the Secretary) stated, that various do nations had been made to the reading room of the Union during the week, and, among other donors, we heard the names of Mr. Ewart, Mr. Strutt, ALP., Rev. Dr. Fel lowes, Sir F. Vincent, M.P. A complete set of the Westminster Review had been also presented by Colonel Perronnel Thompson.—(Cheers.) DISTRIBUTION OF TRACTS. Mr. DETROSIER. then stated, that the members of the Union,. who had come forward at the list meeting to assist the Council in the distribution of tracts, had been enabled, by the liberality of Mr. Place, to commence their opera tions immediately, as that gentleman presented the Union with three or four hundred pamphlets. Seine discussion then arose as to whether the distribu tion stamp of the Union should be placed on all the pub lications given away by the Business Committee, and it was finally agreed that the distribution stamp should be placed on all publications that might be given to the Union, as t object was to give information, and not to present only one side of the question to the working people. The SECRETARY then read the names proposed for the Council for the ensuing year. TAXES ON 3:NOI4'I3:DOE. AV'. PLACE read the petition on the taxes on knowledge, and concluded by moving that the petition be adopted. Mr. HustE—These manacles on the Press bad been ini- Roseriby the Six Acts, and he thought that an allusion to them ought to form part of every petition against the taxes on knowledge. Mr. Hume then noticed the mischievous operation of these laws. In a return he had lately moved for is the House of Commons, it appeared that no fewer than thirty-six individuals bad been convicted for trying to gain an honest livelihood by selling cheap publications. --(Shame, shame.) With regard to the suggestion in the petition, that in lieu of the revenue raised by stamps the Government might impose a postage, lie (Mr. Hume) con ceived that it was not desirable to point out a new tax to Government. lie for one never would be a party to such advice, when he could show such enormous sums that might be cut off from the already existing taxation—(Cheers) — without any injury to the carrying on of the affairs of Government. As the petition alluded to there being no taxes on the Press in America, Mr. Hume mentioned that a far more comprehensive statement might have been made, as iu that country, within a few months from this time, not a single tax would be imposed, except on a few articles of importation, which were not levied for the pur pose of revenue. This American system it was that he hoped to see introduced into England ; for the contrast perpetually presenting itself between the modes adopted in governing the two nations showed that in the one the Government was for the interests of the many, in the other for the interests of the few. He met the other day with a young American Lieutenant (Monroe), the nephew of President Monroe. The American happening to men tion the rank he held in the army, stated the misfortune be laboured under in having a relation high in office ; for although his uncle had been President for eight years, he had refused during all this time to promote his nephew to the rank of Captain, as he objected to intro ducing the English system of nepotism into Ame rica. Wnen he (Mr. Hume) looked to the men who filled office in this country--the son of the Minister here, the nephew of the Minister there, and the children and grandchildren of the Minister fattening on the taxes of the land, he wished that a little American delicacy had been observed. What could he conclude from this contrast, except in . one country the people took care to t:Laerve the conduct of Government, and in the other, that they apathically allowed themselves to be misgoverned? In America, at the present moment, there were three Conventions sitting for the purpose of securing the election of an individual as President in whom the country confided. By these means America was well and cheaply governed ; and it was only by imitating these proceedings—by the general formation of Political Unions—that a good and cheap Government could be obtained in England.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hume, in conclusion, suggested, that pro bably it might be more advantageous to time interests of the Reform Bill, that this petition should not be presented im mediately, as, although such a petition ought not to em barrass Ministers, the carrying of the Reform Bill quickly was of such vital importance, that for himself he would wish to introduce nothing until the success of that measure was secured. Mr. Hume then sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. PLACE stated in explanation, that each of the American States raises a revenue for its own purposes—in its own way. The framers of the petition bad well con sidered the charge of postage, which he called a tax. Sheets could not he sent by postage. He had a printed folio sheet, of a very respectable cast, sold for one penny —it was a specimen of what would be done if the taxes, &c. were repealed. Mr. ERSKINE PERRY seconded Mr. Place's motion, and stated that he understood from very good authority, that the support which several Members of the House of Coin- MOOS would afford to Ministers depended entirely on the conduct pursued by them with regard to the taxes on knowledge. Mr ROGERS moved, as an amendment, that the pe tition be referred to a Committee, in order to embody the facts which were contained in the return Mr. Hume had alluded to, which, after some discussion, was agreed to. The Rev. Mr. Fox then moved that an extended in quiry should be made into the mode of taxation adopted in this country. It had done infinite mischief. No en lightened community ought to suffer such taxation. Scarcely any necessity could justify taxing knowledge. We are consulting the interests of all classes by begging for a repeal of these laws—of aristocracy, democracy, and all. One was prevented from reading, and the other was obliged to read falsehoods and trash. It was an engine of religious pet secution. For example—Dr. Blonifield and Dr. Whateley each published a pamphlet respecting the Sabbath ; the Commissioners of Stamps made Dr. Whateley, who was a liberal, pay a duty, and allowed the present Bishop of London to publish without one. He need not say that one pamphlet was in unison with time political opinions of the Commissioners, the other at vari ance with them. He moved " That a Committee be ap pointed to inquire into the nature, extent, and productive ness of the taxation by which the communication of know ledge is impeded in this country ; the mode in which that taxation operates, and the most prompt mode of obtaining a repeal of it." Mr. PLACE seconded this motion, which was carried unanimously. Some discu.sion then took- place as to the distribution of tracts, when the Council adjourned till Wednesday next. ISLE OF WIGHT.—A few individuals in the island have resolved to pay no more money for tithes ; but as their reverences mean willingly to relinquish nothing, they are informed that they are to come and fetch them in kind. Several farmers have also resolved to pay no more assessed taxes if the Reform Bill does not pass into a law ; they will allow a distraint to take plce for the amount, if the Government should persist in demanding them.—Brighton Guardian. PRODUCE OF FOUR YEARS FROM A SING LE POTATOE..-4011N SA KJ EANT, jun. of Codringtou, planted one potatoe of the red kidney sort, the produce of which was 60 potatoes. This seed next year produced three bushels, which being again planted, produced eleven sacks. The produce of the last year, from that seed, was no less than 168 sacks! The mother of MATTHEW WORRY, the ma n convicted of being concerned in firing the Bridewell, died on Thursday evening of a broken heart, at her dwelling in Lewin's-mead, after being in a most dreadful state of mental affliction for the last few weeks, owing to her apprehension s as to the fate of ber unfortunate 50n.... Bristol Liberal. The body of ELIZA Ross, who was executed on Monday, was conveyed the same evening to the London Hospital for dissection. A number of persons assembled ill, the expectation that the body would be publicly ex_ ted, but n: y by a few t persons were admitted. The son only of the culprit has been placed in the Boys' Charity School n parish authorities of St. Botolph, h near b a ir thei .fl Aldgate, KOSCIUZKO. Kosciusko was not one of those with whom patriotism was but a stepping-ladder for self aggrandisement; to speak of him, indeed, is to speak of one who commanded the esteem even of Princes against whom his sword was raised ; his name belongs to the whole civilized world, and his virtues are a bequest to all mankind.— Towards the close of life, unable to endure the spectacle of degradation which his conquered country exhibited, and baffled in the generous ex pectations which its artful conqueror had at one time bade him cherish, Kosciusko, after eman cipating the serfs on his estate in Poland, retired to Soleure, where the amiable society of long cherished friends cheered and softened the last hours of a life devoted to great and virtuous deeds. Though absent from the land of his birth, the enthusiastic attachment of his fellow countrymen defied the chilling influence of sepa ration ; and there was not a college or a corpo ration among them which did not continue to celebrate his natal day with banquets or other festivities. The tidings of his decease*. spread sorrow and desolation over the whole face of Poland, and the senate of the re• public of Cracow immediately issued circulars to the public authorities, fixing the fourteenth of the November following as the day of national mourning, on which the last honours were to be rendered to his memory. Warsaw and Cracow took the lead in displaying their grateful feeling on this solemn occasion ; but Poland felt she had yet another sacred duty to perform ; her hero's remains were mouldering under a stranger sky ; she called upon the Emperor Alexander to obtain their removal from Soleure ; with his sanction the young Prince Jablonowski was de puted on this noble mission, and the body, at tended by the father and son, in whose society Kosciuzko had calmly spent the remnant of his virtuous days, was borne to the church of St. Florian, without the walls of Cracow, whither it had been accompanied for the last three miles by the great officers of state. The solemn proces sion, which conveyed it thence on the ensuing morning, was finally characteristic of the occa sion. Warriors of distinguished rank, who were grey in their country's service, bore the sacred relics on their shoulders; next followed Kos ciuzko's sable charger, caparisoned in black ; two maidens, with wreaths of oak leaves and branches of cypress in their hands, walked by his side ; then came the general staff, the senate, burgesses, clergy, and populace. When this array reached the Wave!, a hill once honoured by the residence of the magnificent Jagellon and other Polish mo narchs, a funeral oration was delivered by Count Wodziki ; be had scarcely closed his lips, when a Masovian peasant came forward, and addressing Gen. Grabowski, one of Kosciuzko's companions in arms, related the following occurrence in a tone of deep emotion. "At the battle of Raclawice, when fighting by the side of three of my bro thers, there were two guns which committed in describable havoc on a column of Poles, and re peatedly drove them back. On a sudden I saw two Cracovian countrymen, fired by the example of their leader, rush upon the cannon and cover the mouths with their bodies. No war-cry could have kindled such a glow amongst us as their heroic devotion ; we flew to the rescue of our gallant comrades, and the enemy's artillery was instantly in our possession ; we turned it upon him, and he took to flight." The pro cession now moved towards the cathedral, in the centre of which a splendid catafalque had been erected, and beneath this shrine the coffin was deposited. Its only adornments were Sobieski's sword and a branch of laurel. Paintings, exe cuted by Stakowice, were disposed around the sarcophagus; one represented Washington in vesting the hero with the order of Cincmnatus ; another depicted the citizens of Cracow swearing fidelity to him ; in a third, he was pourtraved as calmly contemplating a tempestuous ocean ; and a fourth recalled the fatal conduct of Macicio wice, where, covered with wounds, and falling from his horse, he was heard to exclaim, " Finis Polonice !" t Woronicz, the Bishop, discharged the last offices over the body, and Lancouski, a prelate in high estimation for his political talents, addressed the assembly with a brief but heart-rending eloquence, which brought tears into every eye. During the ceremony, the young Countesses, Angelica and Caroline Wod , sica, made a collection at the door for behoof of the house of refuge at Cracow ; thus calling in charity herself to render homage to the departed great. The ceremony was terminated by depo siting his remains in the same vault which in closes our ancient Kings. Its majestic arches extend under the whole floor of the Cathedral ; but to the right, opposite to the principal en trance gate, is a subterraneous chapel, built by Stanislaus Augustus, ill the year 1788, where he had fondly hoped to find his last resting place. It is divided into several compartments by pillars of the lonic order ; and at present contains three sarcophagi ; those of John Sobieski, Joseph Poniatowski, and Thaddasus Kosciuzko. In life, these three patriots sought their country's weal by devious paths ; in death, they still are severed, and slumber in three distinct mausolea. That of Kosciuzko bears no other symbol than his immortal name. But his country has paid a yet more imperishable tribute to her favourite son. The senate of Cracow decreed, that a lofty mound should be raised on the heights of Bronislawa (i. e. " the Champion of Fame," an appellation which it has borne from the remotest times), and this monu ment owes its existence to the willing zeal of every class and age ; the magistrate and citizen, nobleman and peasant, young and old, rich and poor, have been its artificers. For three whole years (from the 16th October, 1820, to the 16th of the same month 1823) did they toil with un abating ardour, until the hill of Kosciuzko (the Mogila Kosciuzki) was reared three hundred feet above its base, and outshone the two ad joining monuments of St. Cracus and Queen ' This took place on the 15th of October, 1817. And he passed so gently out of this scene of pain and trial, that it has been justly said of such a death by an eminent writer, " The grave is the light-shedding footstep of an angel, which descends to seek and bear us away to a bet ter world." The narrator should have added, that the two berms escaped with their lives, and that Kosciuzko presented them with officers' commissions on the field of battle. t This fact is historically correct. The battle tv, s gained by the Russians on the 10th of October, 1794, and Kosciuzko'a captivity sealed the downfall of Polish inde pendence. He never again trod his native soil, PRINCE CZARTORISKI. On the arrival of the Prince Czartoriski, the late President of the National Government of Poland, in this country, it may not appear unin teresting to most of our readers to give a brief outline of his history. The following narrative, which rests on the authority of a correspondent, is, we believe, in general correct : The Prince is descended from the illustrious house of Jagellon. In his earliest youth, when Kosciusko so heroically opposed the three spo liators of his country, such was the valour dis played by this young Prince, that he received the military order of merit on the field of battle, and from the hands of that immortal patriot. After the consummation of the criminal partition, his family possessions being in part usurped by Russia, he was sent by his parents to Pe tersburg'', that he might become accurately informed of the Government under which he was destined to live. The Emperor Alexander was then completing his studies, and becoming acquainted with Czartoriski, was charmed by the manliness and fervour of his character. Owing to this intimacy it was that Alexander became sensible of the scandalous policy which had dictated the partition. Anxious to remove so foul a stain from Russian history, he conceived the idea, worthy of his century, of re storing the kingdom of Poland and uniting the two crowns. But the disasters of Australitz sus pended the execution of this design--a design the fulfilment of which was the sole considera tion which induced Czartoriski to accept office under Russia as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The ruin of Russia in 1806 presented to the world in the person of Napoleon a new restorer of Poland, and from that moment Czar torsiki resigned his seat in a Cabinet now op posed to Polish interests, without, however, abandoning Alexander. In truth, the Prince perceived in Napoleon a want of that respect for the general independence of nations which alone could justify any sanguine hope for the restoration of Poland. Events have justi fied this opinion, and when Napoleon fell, Czar toriski never having been among the number of his followers, was at liberty to remind Alexander of his former designs in favour of his country. But the Emperor proved himself inadequate to ;he important position in which he was placed, and thus laid the foundation of future difficulties. Ashamed of his weakness, Alexander avoided the society of a man whose esteem lie had always coveted, and Czartoriski, sensible that no thing further could be hoped for from his resi dence in Russia, returned to his native country. On the breaking out of the revolution, the pa riots elected bins the head of the Provisional Government, which was to be the guardian of order during the interregnum. He employed every exertion for the establishment of legitimate rule, ill Nicholas decl are d th a t war a l one should decide the question, altered the aspect of things, and put in end to the benevolent negotiations of Czarto riski. Then the Prince might easily have followed he example of Louis Philippe,and given in his own person a Sovereign to his country descended from ler ancient kings, and endeared to her by the closest ies. History will decide whether that nervous dread of having ambitious designs imputed to him which led him to prefer the example of Washington was wise or not. However, the aiagnanhnity of his motives is beyond all ques tion. There is no description of sacrifice which he has not cheerfully made —every moment of his existence has been consecrated to the purest eitriotism—and he is now an exile from a country in which he was possessed of royal re venues, all which are confiscated by the mercies of a Russian amnesty. The Prince is sixty-one years of age, of a commanding figure, and a countenance express sive of the noblest, and at the same time gentlest character. It is not uninterestieg to learn that one whose whole life has been passed in the cause of national independence received his ea' iy educa tion under our own free and constitutional Go vernment. PERIODICAL LITERATURE.—The justice of the following remarks of a talented contemporary, which we quote with much pleasure, will, we think, he generally acknowledged :—" Toe New Monthly Magazine stands prominently out from the re•t of the periodicals. The character of the responsihie Editor, Mr. E. Bunws:n., will he still further exalted by the tune and talent which the first number of the year exhibits. Freely advocating the greatest good to the greatest number,' its politics are as independent as they are liberal, and informed with that vigour of intellect and that concentration of knowledge which are the results of extensive reading . , a lare ac quaintance with mankind, the habit of writing, and above 11, of that high-mindedness which, in the search of truib, never forgets self-rtspeet, nor, as a consequence, the re spect due to ethers. Thus its pages have all the force, without any of the personalities of direct satire. There will rarely be found so much principle demonstrated with so nice a judgment; and we may refer to the second article, The Temper of the House of Lords,' which dis plays a perfect delineation of its parts, drawn from a deep understanding of human nature as it works tinder the cir cumstances which surround t the Order.' There is much 'rush but no bitterness, while the delicacy as well as the firmness of the touches declare the master-hand."—Morn log Chronicle.

Two Highlanders sA out on an ex pedition to steal the litter of a wild sow, which lay in a narrow-mouthed cave. Seizing the opportunity of the tender parent's absence, one of the men (whom, as the predatory, we will call the Tory party) crept in, and the other kept watch at the mouth. Presently down came the sow distracted, as if informed of what was passing by the instinct of maternal concern, and rushed with toe's, nacing tusks to her door ; the guard, as she slipped iuto the passage, had but just time to lay hold of her tail, give it a firm twist round his strong hand, and throw 'ng himself down and setting his feet against the side of the pass, he hold her fast.
