1 Vottrp. HOPE. IN !lope, a Icing doth go to war; In Hope, the lover loves along ; In Hope, the merchant sails afar ; In Hope, just men do suffer wrong; In Hope, the ploughman sows his seed : Thus Hope serves millions in their need. Then, dearest, faint not like the rest; Whatever chance—hope thou the best I I DO not, trust me, grieve for my lost wealth ; But that the guest no longer seeks the dwelling Whence wealth has vanished, does, I own, afflict me. Like the ungrateful bees, who wanton fly The elephant's broad front when thick congeals The dried-up dew, they visit me no more. 'Tis true, I think not of my wasted fortunes; As fate deciees, so riches come and vanish; But I lament to find the love of friends Hangs all unstrung because a man is poor. And then mith poverty comes disrespect; From disrespect does self-dependence fail; Then, scorn and sorrow following, overwhelm The intellect ; and, when the judgment fails, The being perishes ;—and thus, from poverty Bach ill that pains humanity proceeds I VARIETIES. Tim FLEAS.—The trade of torturing animals is old enough; the only novelty is supplied by varying the victims; and in proportion as these diminish in size, the amount of torment inflicted increases. To one dancing-bear succeed tribes of dancing-dogs and ridin g -monkeys; and a solitary learned , pig is supplanted by a host of industrious fleas. "Industri4as' his a very pretty term, by the way, to apply to the struggles of a wretched little creature to escape from pain. The squirrel in a whirling cage is very industrious, and the cockchafer spinning on the pin which transfixes it is still more industrious. There may be some excuse for teaching an elephant to perform tricks, because it exhibits the sagacity and docility of tha animal ; the patient perseverence of the tormentor, also, may be consi dered by some to be set-off against the cruelty of torturing ani mals which have no sagacity; but in the case of the fleas, there is neither docility on the part of the tormented nor ingenuity on the part of the tormentor. Ihe only . process of "training" the flea to drag any load fastened to it, vs-that of putting it into a tiny tread-mill, where, if it indulges its natural agility, it knocks its head against a bit of wood, and so it learns to be content with a less lively movement. Now, M. Bertolotto, the flea-trainer, is in the habit of waking when he moves; but only let us put on one of his feet a shoe with a few spikes inside the sole, and set him in a place where he must per force keep moving, and lie would be astonished at the proficiency he would soon acquire in hopping. The only ingenious part of this ex hibition is the delicacy of the construction of the chains with which the fleas are confined, round the body or the leg. All the rest is childish. For instance, on the top of a musical box, is a representation of an orchestra, with a dozen fleas fastened in it, to each of which is tied a paper semblance of some musical instrument; two couple of fleas yoked together are placed on a bit of paper; the box is made to play, and the efforts of the in sects to get away are called "playing" and "dancing." On another stand is placed a tower, with toy cannon; and a couple of fleas chained, with paper figures stuck on their backs, crawl round, while two others, fastened to a fine wire, to which a lighted taper is attached, move it across the touch-holes of the flute cannon and so let them off; and this is named "the siege of Antwerp." This absurdity is exhibited in a decent first floor in Regent-street; and - is patronized by the Princess Augusta and the nobility and gentry! M. Bertolotto is careful toinform us that he "has no connection whatever with a man who travels about the country, exhibiting a pretended fac-simile of part of his exhibition." These, we suppose, are aristocratic fleas: who knows but they ate indulged with a suck of the blood royal? True humility, while it brings to light our own sins, is ever ttre to cover a multitude of the sins of others. The man who is the mast sensible of his own failings, will always be heard to talk the least of the failings of others. It is the proud man, the proud professor of the Gospel, who is the reviling man, the censorious professor. Pride takes a pleasure in bringing to light the infirmities of others, that itself may b 9 exalted; while humility delights in contemplating their excellencies, that it may be laid by them stilt lower in its own esteem, and be led to imitate their graces. The reason why we are censo rious and hard-hearted is simply this,—we have not the Spirit clf Christ, and are none of his. Never let us deem ourselves Christians, till we bear some resemblance to our meek, lowly, and compassionate Master. The religion which he puts into the heart of his followers, softens the character, sweetens the temper, and enlivens all the tender affections of the soul, and fills it with kindness, and with love.—Bradley's Sermons. AN ACCOMPLISHED LOVER.—The following is from a Van Dieman's Land Paper, The Colonir!.—Friday, August 24, 1832:—A POLICE INCIDENT.—Last week, a damsel was brought to the police office, charged with putting one Mrs. Norah Mui lagan in bodily fear. Prisoner pleaded guilty, but begged that the offence might be passed over, as she - had received an offer of marriage from a gentleman, who, in all probability, would turn her off, were she to be punished, and he to discover her disgrace. To prove her veracity . she produced the following epistle from her enamoured swain, which we strongly recom mend to the perusal of all those who protract their marriage by long and tedious courtship :—" My dear Angel, this comes with a pound of sausages, which I hope will find you in good health, as it leaves me at present; I seed you last Sunday for the first time, since which I have'nt had no peace fur thinking of your dear self; I therefore will take it as a great favour it you will marry me as early as possible, as I can earn by my profession an excellent livelihood; I was rat-catcher and sow-geider to the late Duke of York • I bleed horses, cures the cholerick mor bus and all other dumb animals, and have received a good hedication, the children we shall have will get their laming free gratis. I haVe been school-master in Mr. —'s family for the last fortnight, and have already teached the eldest boy jography and the manufacture of ginger beer ; and as for the second son, I have made him the most best grammarer and rethmeticker of all the lads I ever teached; so you see I have every chance of pros pering; I have bought a ring and apair of blankets,—l have writ ten to the governor for his permission, and requested the cler gyman to have us asked in church, he appears to be a very nice sober man; I wanted him to go and have half a pint of rum, biit he was too bashful. Please send me an answer, post paid. —4 remain, my dear angel, your true love." Among the singularities of the late Lord HuNrlrsozowxa, whose eccentricities have been so frequently before the public, Was the circumstance of his never receiving at his table, or ad mitting within his wails, the neighbouring nobility or gentry. His Lordship always resided with her Ladyship , and part of the family at Backminster park, ten miles from .Grantham, al though he possessed a spacious town residence in Hyde-park place. Had he survived his mother, the present Countess of Dysart, now in her 93d year, he would have succeeded to that Earldom, the splendid residence of Ham House, on the banks of the Thames, and the baronial castle of Hilmingham, in Suffolk. The family of Tollemache trace their descent in an unbroken line from a noble Saxon family; and at Hilmingham it an old doggrel inscription, which runs thus : When William the Conqueror Reigned with great fame. Bentley was say seat, And Talmash was my name. Mancir.—ASparagus beds must now be formed. As to the -first objection of cost, in the original formation of the beds, of deep trenching, paving or flagging the excavation, and then filling it with the rite - test and best manure, consoddated by pressure, requiring, perhaps, a_greater quantity than ail the re maining quarters of the garden ; I, Martin, have the hardihood to sav, that this may be avoided altogether, and that, so far as the formation of the beds, no cost shalt be incurred. This, you will say, makes all culture unnecessary! I will not go so far to that; but I have a little bit of a story that will bear me out, part of the way.—ln the year of the rebellion, a gentleman who was a better gardener than politician, and who had a good as paragus bed, found it advisanle to shut up his garden and his house, and, dismissing every servant but his herd, to go and amuse: himself for a considerable time abroad. On returning, in scuffling and clearing a gravel walk, many plants of aspara gus, of no mean dimensions, were perceived among the weeds, which must have been caused by , sonic seeds having been car ried thither by the wind, or birds, from the adjoining beds. One of those plants, a very large one, - was allowed to remain as a proof-pieue, and it flourished in the walk for some years after the-garden was restored to its former neatness and perfec tion. here them,. in the absence of alt cultivation, grew a strong stein of aspaiagirs, annually—(where this plant is , indigenous it foutid growing on the sea shore, amidst g ravel and stones)— for it was kept to one shoot, and that a tough one, I'll warrant. It proves, however, that the seed will grow, and grow stoutly, witheat all the u.tual deep trenching. —Frac:Lail Csurdening, bJ Duidd. Tim LIVERPOOL STANDAhIJ. A Mrs. Rainsay, whom T Well knew, was a most extraordinary steady-minded, and gentle-mannered woman, as my tale will shew. She was extreinely ill at night; and calling her confi dential maid-servant to her bed-side, whispered her—" Jane am dying • but make uo noise, because if you do you will wake Mr. (then sleeping soundly in the same room), and you know when his slumbers are broken he grows nervous, and can not fall asleep again ; but come you in the morning at the usual time, when 1 shad be dead, and he will have his full allowance 'of rest." And, so saying, died accordingly."—l'iozziana. What shall we do, when our favours arc requited with ingra titude.? Repeat them, though they should seem to be repeated in vain. Let us persevere in our kindness, even when it may appear to be thrown away. There is no reason why a crowd os uugrately receivers should make us unwilling to deserve their gratitude. Let us persevere in showing kindness, even after we despair of meeting with a grateful return. Cease not from well-doing, but pursue the undeviating course of the j ust.—Seneca. THAT WE SHOULD RISE WITH THE LARK.—At what precise minute that little airy musician doffs his night gear and prepares to tune up his uuseasonabie matins, we are not naturalists enough to determine. But for a mere human gentleman—that has no orchestra business to call him from his warm bed to such preposterous, exercises—we take ten, or half after ten, (eleven, nf course, during the Christmas solstice,) to be the very earliest hour at which he can begiu to think of abandoning his pillow. To think of it, we say; for to 'do it in earnest requires another half hour's good consideration. Not but there are pretty sun risings, as we are told, and such like gawds, abroad in the world, in summer time especially, some hours before what we have assigned; which a gentleman may see, as they say, only for getting up. But, having been tempted, once or twice, in earlier life, to assist at those ceremonies, we confess our cu riosity abated. We are no longer ambitious of being the sun's courtiers, to attend his morning levees. We hold the good hours of the dawn to sacred too waste them upon such observ ances; which have in them, besides, something Pagan and Persic. To say truth, we never anticipated our usual lions, or got up with the sun, (as 'tis called) to go a journey, or upon a foolish whole day's pleasuring, but we suffered for it all the long hours after in lisilessness and heaclachs:—nature herself sue ficicntiy declaring her sense of our presumption, in aspiting to regulate our frail waking courses by the measures of that celes-' tiat and sleepless traveller. We (icily not that there is some thing sprightly and vigorous, at the outset especially, in these break-of-day excursions. It is flattering to get the start of a lazy world; to conquer death by proxy in its image. But the seeds of sleep and mortality are in us; and we pay usually in strange qualms, before night falls, the penalty of the unnatural inver sion. Therefore, while the busy part of mankind are fast hud dling on their clothes, are already up and about their occupa tions, content to have swallowed their sleep by wholesale, we choose to linger a-bed and digest our dreams. It is the very time to recombine the wandering images, which night in a con fused mass presented; to snatch them from forgetfulness; to shape and mould them. Some people have no good of their dreams. Like fast feeders they gulp them too grossly to taste them curiously. We love to chew the cud of a foregone vision; to collect the scattered rays of a brighter phantasm, or act over again, with firmer nerves, the sadder nocturnal tragedies ; to drag into day-light a struggling and half-vanishing night-mare ; to handle and examine the'terrors or the airy solaces. We have too much respect for these spiritual communications to let them go so lightly. We are not so stupid, or so careless, as that imperial forgetter of his dreams, that we should need a seer to remind us of the form of them. They seem to us to have as much significance as our waking concerns; or rather to import us more nearly, as more nearly we approach by years to the shadowy world, whither we are hastening. We have shaken hands with the world's business; we have done with it; we have discharged ourself of it. Why should we get up ? we have neither suit to solicit, nor affairs to manage. 'I he drama has shut in upon us at the fourth act. We have nothing here to expect, but in a short time a sick bed, and a dismissal. We delight to anticipate death by such shadows as night affords. We are already halt acquainted with ghosts. We were never much in the world. Disappointment early struck a dark veil between us and its dazzling illusions. Our spirits showed gicy before our hairs. The mighty changes of the world already ap pear as but the vain stuff out of which dramas are composed.— We have asked no more of life than what the mimic images in play-houses present us with. Even those types have waxed fainter. Our clock appears to have struck. We are SUPERAIS- TiUA'TED. In this dearth of mundane satisfaction, we contract po litic alliances with shadows. It is good to have friends at court. The abstracted media of dreams seem no ill introduction to that spiritual presence, upon which, in no long time, we expect to be thrown. We are trying to know a little of the usages of that colony ; to learn the language, and the faces we shall meet with there, that we may be less awkward at our first coining among them. We willingly call a phantom our fellow, as knowing we shall soon be of their dark companionship. Therefore, we che rish dreams. We try to spell in them the alphabet of the invi sible world ; and think we know already, how it shall be-with us. Those uncouth shapes, which, while we clung to flesh and blood, affrighted us, have become familiar. We feel attenuated into their meagre essences, and have given the hand of half way approach to incorporeal being. V, e once thought life to be something; but it has unaccountably fallen from-us before its time. Therefore we choose to dally with visions. The sun has no purposes of ours to light us to. Why should we get up ?" TUE LONDON PnEISS. (FROM THE . GUARDIAN AND _PUBLIC LEDGER.) We give Lord John Russell joy of the accession of business which he is likely to bring to the House of Com mons, by his new reform in the mode of petitioning against returns, and bribery, and all that, and we would give the Chancellor of the Exchequer a hint, in bringing forward his Budget, to make a reserve of a few hundred thousands for paying the expenses of a score or two of petitions for select committees to inquire into such mat ters. When we warned Ministers on Thursday last of the consequences of the "vicious principle which was sought to be introduced through an attack upon the par ticular privileges of Liverpool," we did not expect that the same county, and almoSt the next borough, should, within forty-eight hours, have availed itself of the new rule.. The Preston Pilot of Saturday tells us " that a petition praying for an inquiry into the recent election for this borough is in course of signature." "The petitioners are Mr. Henry Hunt and others," complain ing grievously of the expense to which candidates were put by the number of polling places appointed; and if the fact be as stated by the honourable Ex, it certainly seems a hard case. Then they go on to "complain of the want of proper accommodation at some of the polling places; allege that the Bribery Act was partially admin istered; complain that two hundred armed ruffians went about maltreating the friends of the petitioner Henry Hunt; and that during the panic created the most cor rupt practices were carried on by the agents, friends and supporters of the sitting members .' The petitioner, Henry Hunt, complains of the want of courtesy on the part of the Mayor; and states that he was only prevented petitioning against the return by the expense. The petitioners finally pray that a committee of inquiry may be granted, in order that the returning officer may be brought to the bar of the house," &c. This is as it should be. Mr. Henry Hunt was not returned ; but the Hon. H. T. Stanley was. Now, Mr. Hunt has, very naturally, imbibed a notion that " what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." And that, if the voters who returned for Liverpool one member opposed to the views of Ministers are to be disfranchised, so the voters of Preston who rejected him, ought to be disfranchised too. And why not ? We are a little curi ous to see what Lord John Russell will say when this petition is presented. The Right Honourable Secretary for Ireland has too high a sense of honour not to support ' strenuously the prayer of the petition for a select corn ' mittee, out of respect to the character of his brother, one of the sitting members. We must confess that we do not see any difference between Mr. Hunt for Preston, and Mr. Rathbone for Liverpool. They both want to be members, and there fore they both petition to have the obstacles to their return removed. It is pretty well understood that they are both firebrands in their way, and they ought to have an equal chance of sitting where, from the prevalence of the same sort of matter, they are likely to be not quite so conspicuous as the first honourable gentleman was in times gone by. We understand there are a few more petitions getting up of the same sort. A dozen or two, more or less, will be of no consequence to the present House of Commons. They have a mode of despatching business peculiar to themselves. Besides, there is no slur upon the character of members or of voters. For the chairman of the Liverpool select committee, when prohibiting the pub lication of the evidence until complete, begged the public to recollect, that persons were to be presumed innocent until found guilty. This was humane. Mr. Rathbone and others go upon the opposite tack—they broadly accuse 'two or three thousand of their fellow townsmen of being guilty, until they are proved innocent. We shall know in a few days how the people of Preston con sider it. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. (EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A CORRESPONDENT IN THE lIALLYSHANNON HERALD.) In a neighbouring county, a young lady was some years ago married against her will, she being altache'd to another. How ever, she and her husband lived apparently on good terms; but the husband's health daily declined, and iltlthonght frequent consultations were held by medical practitioners, the nature of his disease could not be assertainee. Providence, however, in his own good time revealed the secret. It appears, that although the lady seemed content in her married state, she was anything but happy. tier termer lover continued to visit her without the least suspicion of any improper intimacy existing, he being her cousin, and. the unfortunate - husband loved her too well to doubt her fidelity. The lady having one day received a letter from her cousin, was obsorved by the servant girl to be much agitated on perusing it, and having frequently kissed it, exclaimed "it shall be done." Fortunately, in putting the letter into her pocket, she ruisssed the pocket-hole, and it fell on the ground; it was picked up by the servant, who concealed it until she got a person to read it: letter contained a request that the lady would double the dose she was in the habit of giving, which Would soon finish him. Information of the discovery was carried to the husband, but it was with much difficulty he could be persuaded to question his " dear wife" about the matter. At length he went to her and told her there were strange rumours current about her and her cousin; the lady became enraged, and said " since you are base enough to harbour an improper opini on o f me I. will no longer live with you." The pour man begged of her to forgive him, that he did not intend to hurt her feelings, nor did lie believe the reports, and hoped she would forget whatl had passed—she was inexorable, ana after some time wishing he would iu future be as well taken care of as she took of him, and kissing her children, she left for her father's house. She was followed by her husband for the purpose ofprevailing on her to return, but call ing at a friend's house he was surprised to find her and her cousin there—he then informed the lady's father of the circumitance, who gave information to a magistrate and had the lovers quickly apprehended. The husband anxious to ascertain the particu lars, and doubting still his wife's guilt, tqld her that if she con fessed the truth he would forgive her, a nd take her back to his house; she did so as follows :—she said that she never loved him (her husband), that she had a plot made up with her cousin, to whom she was attached, to poison him, that they might be. married—she attempted to carry their infernal plan into effect twice, but failed—once she had a large dose, pre pared, but the cat spilled it—again she had another dose, but he imagined it was a dirty vessel and would not drink it--and she had been giving him a slosy poison for a length of time— she said she was sorry for her -conduct, and promised in future if she was forgiven, to be a loving . and dutiful wife. This was all her husband wanted, and they are now living together, ap arently happy. We hope they may continue so—but we con fess we worn(' not wish to try the experiment—the disconsolate lover is in custody to stand his trial at the ensuing assize's. The above particulars have be e n fin:dialell - ns by a a correspon dent, but we forbear mentioning the names of the parties, through respect to their friends. .

We announced yesterday that peace had been arranged between the Porte and Ibrahim Paella without the intervention of Russia, and that a Russian fleet had ar rived in the Bosphorus. The French papers received to-day give curious accounts of this affair, which will pro bably be attended with the most important consequences. According to them France was determined that Russia should not interfere in Turkish affairs, and Baron Rous sin, her ambassador, succeeded in persuading the R,iis Effendi to send a messenger to Sebastopol, requesting that the sailing of the fleet collected there, for the pur pose of assisting the Sultan, should be countermanded. The squadron had sailed, however, before the Turkish agent could arrive at Sebastopol, and on the 20th ult., four Russian ships of the line, four frigates, and two corvettes appeared in the Bosphorus. The French am bassador immediately informed the Porte that he would depart from Constantinople, which threat produced the intended effect. The Sultan declared that if Baron Rous sin would become responsible for the retreat of the Egyptian army he would decline the interference of Rus sia. The French ambassador gave the required guaran tee, the necessary papers were signed, and two li'rench aides-de-camp were sent off, one to Ibrahim and the other to his father, directing the suspension of hostilities, under threats of the vengeance of France in case of disobedi ence. The Russian fleet, according to the French ac counts, was to return from Constantinople to Sebastopol with the first fair wind. Such is the strange story which we find in the Journal des Debuts. If true, the conduct of France has been most outtageoukily insolent in the whole transaction, and Russia has every right to feel offended. What part the English Ambassador at the Porte played on the occasion we do not know; but we suppose that there, as every where else, we are content to follow in the wake of France. The matter cannot end here. We do not think that the Russian fleet will leave the Bosphorus as quietly as the French would have us believe. Independently of any other motive for staying before Constantinople, the pay-, ments of the tribute stipulated at the last peace have been very irregularly made, and as a large arrear is now due, Russia has a fair pretext for keeping a fleet at Constanti nople until it is discharged. In all probability the con test will extend far beyond Turkey. In corroboration of our opinion, we beg to refer our readers to the letter of our Parisian correspondent, by which it will be seen, that M. Pozzo di Borgo, after hav ing been twice refused, had at length had a stormy discus sion with the Duke de Broglie, and it was generally sup posed in Paris, that a rupture would soon take place between the French and Russian governments. These papers also inform us, that all the royalists ac cused of a conspiracy on board the steam-boat Carlo Alberto, have been acquitted; which event must be a subject of great mortification to the French government. A Ma'ita mail, .brought by the Albian, has arrived; she sailed froth Malta on the 11th ult., from Gibraltar on I the 3rd instant., from Cadiz on the sth, and having put into Vigo, left it on the 12th. Vigo. is only one or two days' sail froth Oporto, and she may therefore bring news to a date a fortnight later than what we have already re ceived, if there has been any communication between I Vigo and Oporto, which, however, we doubt. Among her passengers is a Captain Crosbie, who was second in ccmmand to Admiral Sartorius. His arrival, we under stand, was quite unexpected, and is in all probability connected with the events which are supposed to have taken Place at Oporto, and to Aich we alluded yesterday. DOZZESTIC.
