Vettrp, HYMN FOR HARVEST TIME. EV CHARLES WAIST THOMPSON. 'Neath summer's bright and glorious sky, While proudly waves the golden grain, And throagh the falling fields of rye, Come on the joyous reaper train- 11 While nature smiles, and hill and plain Are tranquil as the sleeping sea, And peace and plenty brightly reign By nonirstead, hearth, and fcrest tree— God o f the season, unto thee we raise Cur hands_ and hearts in melody and praise ! There is a sweet breath from the hills, The incense from thr mountain air, • Which from a thousand flowers distils Its odour delicate and rare — We feel its balni—we see it there Among the bending wheat blades move, Wigging their tops in dalliance Mr, As if its very life were love— God of the harvest, whence its breezes blow, Receive the humble thanks thy creatures owe ! Onr loaded wain comes winding home, Then let tts rest beneath the shade Of this old oak, our verdant dome, And %Patch the evening shadow fade— O'er tnottnt and meadow, lawn aad glade, They spread their deep'ning tints of grey, 'Till all the scene their hues pervade, And twilight gbrice melt away — God of the world, who round thy curtain throws, Thanks for the time of quiet and repose ! How still is nature all around ! No tong is sung, no voice is heard, Save here and there a marmuring sound, As if some ricstless sleeper stirred : The grasshopper, night's clam'rous bird, Chirps gay,-but all is hushed beside — And silence is the soothing word, Whose spell diffuses far and wide— God of the aniverst, by night and day, We bleu thee for the efts we ne'er can pay ! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE NEW 'COLONIAL MINISTER. (Pros, tke Spectator.) Why it happened is of little consequence now, but there can be iso dual/ / that Lord Normanby was expected tie cut a figute as Colonial Minister. Ap pointed to the officeott ers time when the politics of a colony seemed likely to affect very materially those of the mother-country, and succeeding one who had been removed for notorious incapacity, Lord Normanby ap peared to have been selected as the fittest man of his party to deal with the colonial exigencies of the mo ment, and to peoride permanent remedies for the evils which had grown out of 4 long course of neglect and mismanagement. It was imagined that those who ap pointed him knew him to possess the requisite quali ties, and therefore that he possessed them. Seldom has a: public expectation been more thoroughly disap pointed. As Oslonial Minister, Lord Normanby has done nothing, waggreted nothing, projected nothing. lie ham reaped no harreat, though a rich one bad been prepared for hint by Lord Durham's mission, and has sown no seeds in the Wid e w ild erness w hi c h he found open to impreveenent. He has exhibited neither genius, nor sagacity, nor resolution, nor readiness, nor even common diligence. The multitudinous business of the office was never more in arrear, never in a worse mess than at the present time. Lord Normanby " broke down" within about a week of his appointment. It is well known that he had intended to remove Mr. Ste then, the over-secretary of many nominal chiefs; but just as this popular purpose was on the point of exe cution, out came Sir Francis Head's narrative, in which Mr. Stephen Was abused as a republican, and soforth ; when torsi Normanby changed his mind, for fear of its being said that he hard been influenced by Sir Fran cis Head ; and therefore, Mr. Stephen remained. From that moment, note who were acquainted with the facts had any hope of Lord Normanby. The expectations which they expressed at the time, he has perfectly ful filled. brief career has been distinguished from that of the poorest of his predecessors by nothing but some theatrical flourishes, which now seem ridiculous to those who remember them. His first despatch—a very 'silly, sentimental sort of letter to some West In dia governor, about the negroes—he published in the London newepaperey apropos de bottes, under the title of "Lord Normanby's First Despatch." He stuck up a notice in the office, to the effect that, during certain hours of certain days every week, he would receive all comers without introduction. It was given out at the time, that Lord Normanby would show the office how to do business—that he was to be the most accessible of ministers—that he would learn and judge for him-. self, and many more fine things of the same sort. Now, what was the result of this coup de theatre ? Why, that the ministers soon grew sick of thus show ing off his accessibility, and ended by being as difficult of access as any of his predecessors, not to say more so. The old messengers used to hold up their hands and groan at the scene which grew out of his lordship's "public days ;" as others would have done had they „known all that the court Circular did not tell about "interviews with the Marquis of Normanby." He is gone, however, and we have only to write his epitaph. He left the Canadas as he found them, a prey to every evil resulting fm misrule. He attempted, but hap pily failed, to destroy the most ancient of the colonial conetitutions,"by substituting a despotism for the re presentative government of Jamaica. He advertised his first despatch, and made a mere show of extraordi nary accessibility, Any thing else ?—Yes, he did what in him lay to prevent an important addition to the co lonial empire of England, which he might easily have had the honour of founding. What can have induced Lord John Russell to take the colonial seals, is a question that puzzles the best in- formed. The appointi - nent is of inferior rank, relates to subjects of which the late Home Secretary knows - -little, and about which one so steeped in home politics as the Jesder of the House of Commons, must almost necessarily care less. The duties of the office, if but decently performed, are exceedingly laborious; and it has never been held of late years without loss of re putation. The risk of damage from holding it is ,peculiarly great just now, when the gross incapacity of two- or three colonial minieters in succession has pro duced somethin t e like a general rebellion in our cob)- . niel empire. IN e never heard that Lord John Russell had a taste for fishing in troubled waters. What then can have been his motive for changing places with Lord Normanby This question receives numerous answers, which, in the absence of reliable information, we shall repeat be fore we express our own opinion. There are not wanting persons.who say, that the ar .rangement is merely .provisional ; that Lord John will soon refire, having been induced to keep the place warm for another, not yet persuaded to join the go vernment; and that nothing important, therefore, will result from this appointment. Others assert that the government has at length re solved npon settling the Canada question at least; and that the leader of the House of Commons takes the Colonial goals for that purpose only, under the idea that by uniting the character of Colonial Minister to that of the leader of the House of Commons, he will adopt the best means of carrying early next session a measure for the permanent government of Canada. This is a pleasant speculation, and so reasonable. in many respects that one might hope it to be well founded, if it were not contradicted by Mr. Thomson's appointment. Lord John is a person of no mean abi lities : but if he settle the Canada question here while Mr. Thomson is reviving there the embers of univer sal strife, he has a far greater capacity than his warm est admirers suppose. A third set of speculators on Lord John's appoint ment—wary old hacks of the party now in power— smile at. the notion of attributing this change of places to any very definite object. The government, say they, knew that it could not meet Parliament again without putting on the appearaace at least of some novelty or freshness • so it made a 'move-amongst its members, as ene shuffles the cards for ,a change of luck; and the result is, that while Lord Normanby finds himself in Lord John Russell's place. Lord John Russell finds . himself in Lord NOrmauby's. By the same sort of • accident Mr. Thomson is despatched to Canada. But Lord Melbourne deliberately laughs in his sleeve.— This version of the story will have many believers, un til something happen to disprove it. WALLASEY. (From the Courier.) Descending from the pretty village of Bidston, which is placed upon a el' lit eminence, the eye ranges over an exten sive plain, beyond which the sea is spread, frequently covered with the innumerable shipping connecting this mighty mart of commerce with every part of the civilised world. This level expanse is divided tato two principal vallies, by the branches of * range of hills, eitending from Woodehurch to Westkirby Grange, the waters from which form the river Birken, which flows into Wallasey Pool, and from whence the priory and town of Birkenhead derive the name. Small as the row of this stream may be, and so fallen in its conse quence as to be only spoken of, by most of the inhabitants of this region, as the Fender, it is, according to Ormerod, the only river in the hundred •f Wirral ; and, whilst it is the drain cf a valuable and fertile district, the tributary waters are of sufficient amount, to spread into a vast lake, to the despair and injury of the cultivators of the soil, after a long period of rain. _ _ Along the banks of the northern Fork, extending into Newton Carr, and down to the shore of the sea, as well as inland to the edge of Bidston-marsh, are the remains of a very ancient forest, consisting of oak, fir, yew, &c., of a con siderable size. The roots of these trees, as well as the pros trate members of them, may be seen any day amidst the peat of the shore, and are continually laid bare by the digging of trenches, and by the operations of the plough. The singularity of 'these remains in this spot is, that there is now scarcely a shrub or a tree to interrupt the prospect. This crcuriastance has been accounted for by supposing that the limbo Ssndr did anciently form an island, or were a con tireance of the Lancashire shore, under which, where the Rock Channel now exists, found their way, mingled with those of the Dee, into the ocean. The latter circumstance is rendered more probable from the omission of the river Meracy in the Latin geographies, in which one of the now existing rivers of this western shore of England is always omitted, although, from the difference of the ancient and modern names, it is difficult to determine contectly which stream has beep overlooked, and, how, by any other means, so mighty an estuary as the i'deriey could have been the one un seen. Near the head of the river Birken stands Hoylake a name so long familar to the inhabitants of Liverpool, that its actual appearance knight naturally excite surprise at a first visit. A place formerly-of faiioualAe resort by the aristocracy of the .palatinate, a residence of pilots and fishermen, it might be expected that something better would exist than some peattered betties amidst a deep waste of sand. Until the * Hoylake is now indebted to the enterprise of Messrs. Williams and Barton, for reviving the hotel and erecting se veral handsome villas and cottages. ' t See the actual words in Ormerod. The origin of the term Star-chamber is involved in a certain degree of obscurity, By some it has been derived from a Saxon word signifying to steer or govern; by others from crimen stellionatus ' or cozenage, which was an offence punished by the court of Star-chamber. Sir Edward Coke inclines to the opinion that the roof of the apartment had at one time been ornamented with gilded stars ; but there is no record of the fact, nor were any stars to be seen even so far remote as the reign of Elizabeth. The conjecture that the great number of windows in the room, which was that sub • sequently converted into the lottery-office, gave rise to the appellation, seems equally gratuitous. The most satisfactory explanation, and one which appears beyond all doubt to be correct, is that given 'by Blackstone. He says, "It .s well known that, before the banishment of the Jews under Ed ward 1., their contracts and obligations were denominated in our ancient records starra, or storms, from a corruption of the Hebrew word shetar, a covenant. These stars, by an ordinance of Richard 1., preserved by Hoveden, were com manded to be enrolled and deposited in chests, under three keys, in certain places ; one, and the most considerable of which, was in the King's Exchequer at Westminster : and no star was be allowed to be be valid unless it were found in some of the said repositaries. The room at the Exchequer where the chests containing these stairs were kept was pro bably called the Starr chamber ; and when the Jews were kept was probably called the ' Starr chamber ; and when the Jews were expelled the kingdom, was applied to the use of the king's council, sitting in their judicial capacity. To confirm this, the first time the Star-chamber is mentioned in any record, which was in the days of Edward 111., it is said . to have been situated near the Exchequer at Westminster, — la chmbre des eslcilles pres resceipt al Westminster. For in process of time, when the meaning of the Jewish starrs was forgotten, the word starr-ehamber was naturally rendered in law French le chambre des esteilles, and in law Latin ca mera stellata, which continued to be the style in Latin till the dissolution of that court." A STRONG CLAIM.—At the last quarterly meeting of the Exeter Humane Society, a man claimed a reward for saving the life of his wife, a young woman, about twenty-three years of age, from drowning. THE BITER BITTEN.—A piscatorial lawyer, a short time ago, in the course of a predatory excursion against the finny tribe, was throwing his line in the River Welland, at a village three or four miles to west of Stamford, when he hooked a very fine pike ; it requred some little exercise of skill to get him to land, and his exertions were eagerly regarded by a native ; he was at length successful, and the gasping fish was laid upon the bank. Hodge expressed his wonderment at the open jaws and sharp teeth of Mr. Pike, and was advised by the lawyer (who was thinking, perhaps, of the many clients, he had himself bitten) to put his finger in the fish's mouth by way of an experiment. " Noir, noa," said Hodge, " but he may just tak' a grip o' my dog's tail, if he loike." Suiting the action to the word, he inserted the tip of the dog's tail between the jaws of the pike, which were instantly closed. Away went the dog, and away went the fish dangling at his tail, to the gratification of the countryman. and to the dismay of the cunning lawyer. The latter raised a shout to stop the thief, and entreated Hodge to call back his dog; but calling was of no use, they were soon out of sight, and the fish was irretrievably lost to quill-driver, but was soon deposited be neath the humble roof of the villager, who left the lawyer en deavouring to catch another fish, but not very well pleased at being outwitted by a rustic, who had thus proved himself to have been the cleverest conveyancer of the two.—Stam ford Mercury. pious liberality of Mrs. Swainson, the lady of the manor, erected a chapel at the little village of Hoose, this celebrated Hoylake was inhabited by as heathen a population as any in the United Kingdom* It is related of them, in former days, that a visiter from some Christian region, having remarked his surprise, that no attention was paid to its being Good Friday, the anniversary of the death of Jesus Christ, was answered " Is he dead, indeed ? We did not know the gen tleman in this country." A better state of things happily exists now; the rising generation have the benefit of a school - ; and it is to be hoped,. that the adults have learned, from the excellent clergymen who have successively informed their understandings, what is the history, and what the faith and hopes, resulting from our blessed Saviour's ministry. The chapel of Hoose is a very elegant Gothic structure, built by Mr. Fiction, architect, of this town. The body of the church is externally of the style vulgarly called Saxon, the chancel of a later date, and some of the wood-work within, forming the altar-piece and vestry, is of the more ornate character of English Gothic. A visit to it would repay the admirers of architecture the trouble of the journey ; for, although exception may be taken to some of the proportions of the mouldings, the general effect is superior to the ordi nary works of modern artists. The inroads of the sea on this coast have been so serious and so constant, that the Leasowe Lighthouse, which now claims our attention, has been twice withdrawn inland, and, at this moment, is within little more than one hundred yards from the surge at high water. To remedy the threatened inundation, which would, in all probability, have forced a way along the course of the Birken stream into the very heart of the pool, an embankment has been erected, at a vast ex pense, under the direction of Francis Giles, Esq., for which an act of parliament was obtained in 1829. To persons in terested in works of this description, this embankment de serves notice, since there is probably no part of the coast where the sea breaks with greater force at some seasons. The extent of the embankment is upwards of a mile and a quarter. It is formed on the principle of an inclined plane, at an angle of about 15 degrees. The surface is composed of stones imbedded in blue clay. It is but justice to our selves to say, that we took considerable pains to point out the depredations of the sea in this particular quarter, and the necessity for immediate measures being taken to prevent its further inroads. The Leasowe, on which we have now entered, is a level tract of verdant turf, that formerly extended for four miles, up to the very outskirts of the village of Wallasey ; but a great portion of it was enclosed about twenty years ago. In its pristine state it had been a race-course, from almost the earliest time, and probably the history of the turf cannot produce an earlier record than may be furnished by this lo cality; Webbe, an old. historian of the county, writing in 1605, says, " Here lie those fair sands on which gentlemen and others try the swiftness of their horses, and lose no small sums in the contest."- r The history of Leasowe Castle, which we shall shortly attain, has 'also additional reference to this sport, to which it owes, its origin, in 1593. The races at the Rood Eye, at Smithfield, which may date from a more remote period, were merely the sports of a fair, and can offer no rivalry with those which became, on this spot, the amuse.; ment of the higher classes, and, of course, of a higher de scription of cattle and prizes. The Leasowe continued to figure in the annals of racing in subsequent years. In 1685, the Duke of Monmouth, when progressing through the west ern counties on a tour of popularity, came to Chester, where he became godfather to the daughter of the mayor, and, to excite applause, came over to the Wallasey Races, where he rode a horse himself, and won a cup, which he gallantly pre sented to his infant goddaughter. In 1720-1730, the prin cipal nobility and gentry of the neighbouring counties, in cluding the families of Stanley, Grosvenor, Cholmondeley, Egerton, Wynne, &c., tweed to subscribe twenty guineas each for ten years, and' to bring horses to contend for the prize on this race-course. This is believed to have been the earliest sweepstakes on record ; and races of this description were called, for many years, even at Newmarket, Wallasey Stakes. The races themselves are registered in the racing calendar, where the winner of each year may be found noted. It does not appear, however, that they were extended beyond the period of the first agreement, as no further mention of the Wallasey Races is to be discovered in the racing calen dar; but the course was probably used as a training-ground for many after years, as a building known by the name of the Grosvenor-stables may be seen near the village of Wal lasey, on the doors of which the horses' plates still remain. We now reach Leasowe Castle. This was originally an octagon building, having four square towers on the alternate faces, and is said to have been built by the Stanley Family, as a stand for seeing'the sports on the Leasowe, over which a window looked in every direction. The Legs of Man, with. the date 1593, exist on one of the stone chimney-pieces. It afterwards passed into the family of Egerton, the members of which used to occupy it as a sporting box, until, towards the middle of the last century, the Squire of Oulton retired here to practise the economy requisite to repair the effects of a too indiscriminate hospitality in the halls of his ancestors. He died here about 1783, and, since that time, it was occa sionally occupied as a residence, until ultimately, it was pur chased as such by the late Mrs. Boode, who added largely to its accommodation. This lamented lady, whose humanity and beneficence were proverbial, and whose memory still' lives among many who suffered shipwreck on these shores, was the victim of a lamentable accident by which she lost her life, in 1826: and we shall have occasion to attend to the event as we pass the spot at which it occurred, in cur homeward course to Liverpool. The castle is now of considerable extent and is a very decorative building of stone, containing several handsome apartments ; amongst others, one has been fitted up with the oalF panneling that formerly covered the walls of the celebrated Star Chamber, in the royal palace of West minster.l: On visiting this room our thoughts reverted to the number of victims, whoin bygone days, had suffered extor tion and ruin from the exactions of the tyrants who reigned supreme within its walls, and were reminded of the exclama tion of Shylock• : gay, take my life and all, pardon not that : You take my house, when you do take the prop That cloth sustain my house; you take my life, When yell do take the . -means whereby I live. These remains of a once infdmous court came to the hammer a feW years since, upon the demolition of the old exchequer buildings, and were purchased by, the" present proprietor of the castle, Hon. Sir E. Cust. There is also a very ancient picture of horse-racing here, in the days of James 1. includ ing portraits of that monarchand his sons, who are represented as sharing the sport, in which a buxom lady in a carriage, dri ven by servants in the royal livery, also participates. In the drawing room there is a portrait of King Williani the Third reviewing his troops on the Leasowe, preparatory to their em barkation on the expedition which terminated in the battle of the Boyne. An inscription to this effect is recorded on the frame of the picture. The leads of the turrets command an interesting view of the surrounding country. Passing from the house, a garden, brilliant with flowers, and with a more flourishing display of trees than can be expected in such a boisterous region, leads down to the very shore, on which you step from a partterre. You pass a monument erected to the memory of a favourite spaniel, of which the effigy is modelled on the summit. The following inscription appears on the four, faces of the pedestal " Say not, with Gray, A fav'rite has no friend ;' He sleeps below who knew one to the end. The early playmate of life's joyous hours Assuaged the pains of his declining powers, And made his grave far from her distant home, Amid the scenes where 'erst he loved to roam. Reader ! when thou shalt turn to kindred dust, May thou be deemed as faithful to thy trust." We now pass on to the village of Wallasey, through which we may haste with as much speed as an execrable pavement, and herds of cows thronging the miserable narrow street, may permit us. We then ascend from the plain, and pass along a height which commands a very beautiful view over Bidston village and the Lighthouse hill, as well as access to the plain we have just traversed, as far as the distant hills of NA , ales, where Moel Faunah towers supreme ; and even Snowdon, with his three white heads, is frequently to be seen on a clear day. The only building of interest we meet on the way is the elegant little Gothic cross which records the sad event we have elsewhere alluded to. The inscription inserted on a stone of the wall below, records the event. Near this spot, Mrs. BOODE, of Leasowe Castle,. was killed by a fall from her pony-carriage, April 21st, 1826. May ye who pass by respect this memorial of an awful dispensation, And the affectionate tribute of an only Child, To perpetuate her dear mother's memory Beyond the existence of that breast which will never cease To cherish it. Ah ! may the sad remembrance Which attaches to this spot Impress on every one this salutary warning, In the midst of life we are in death.' " • Turning to the left, at the bottom of the hill, we may take the road leading to New Brighton, a creation of yesterday, from tke capital and enterprising spirit of a townsman, the late Mr. Atherton, who died a few months since. The banks of the river Mersey are here covered with villas and resi dences, but, as they are now attained again, we may extend our patronage to any one of the various ferries that will con vey us back to town, after our long, but not very fatiguing, excursion to the Cheshire shore, to which a melancholy in terest has recently attached from the sad events of the hurri cane of the 6th and ith of January. LITERARY NOTICES. The Young Bride's Book; being Hints for regulating the Conduct of Married Women. With a few Medical Axioms. By Arthur Freeling. London Washbourne. 1839. This is a most attractive little volume, embracing a series of brief essays on the various conditions, duties, and relations of the matrimonial - state. We knOw of few works more suitable for a present to a young bride. The subjects dis cussed in this neat and elegant volume are the following : Unity of sentiment as regards Religion—the first misunder standing, its general consequences, and the probable mode of avoiding them—affection—temper—jealousy—the general du ties of a wife towards her husband—the prospect of becoming a mother—visitors, visiting, friendship, and gossiping—ex penditure, especially on dress—aniusements, conversation, &c.—servants—and devotion. We cordially recommend The Young Bride's Book to the notice of our readers. We have no doubt that the 'sound maxims and excellent advice which it contains will be duly appreciated. The New Statistical Account of Scotland, No. 23, contain ing part of the county of Dumbarton, with Map, and part of the county of Perth. August, 1839. Edinburgh : Blackwood and Sons. This excellent and valuable work is proceeding towards its conclusion most satisfactorily. When the whole series is completed, it will form one of the most attractive standard works of which the press of Scotland can boast. The in formation relating to each county is copious, accurate, and well arranged. Its maps are clear and beautifully engraved. The number before us contains a minute history of the pa rishes of Dumbarton, Old Kilpatrick, New or East Kilpa trick, Row, Cardross, Arrochar, Roseneath, Cumbernauld, Luss, and Kirkintilloch. Every Scotsman that can afford it ought to possess this truly national work.

Part 5. Twelfth Night. London : Tyas. We are glad totnd that thit elegant and unprecedentedly cheap edition pf the works of " Avon's immortal bard" is becoming increasingly popular. In the beauty and accuracy of its typography, and in the design and execution of its il lustrations, it is confessedly unsurpassed, we might almost say unrivalled. The present number contains several exqui site and truly characteristic engravings. Wilson's Historical, Traditionary, and Imaginative Tales of the Borders, and of Scotland. Part 62. Edinburgh : Sutherland. Each succeeding number of this entertaining publication raises it in our estimation. We are glad to hear that its cir culation is steadily on the increase. Its extreme cheapness (a few sixpenny numbers containing as much reading as a three-volume novel, costing a guinea and a half), added to the diversity of incident in its numerous tales, must contri bute to render it increasingly popular. The Heart's Tongue. Liverpool : Benjamin Smith. Man chester : Bancks and Co. This work contains a variety of beautiful poems, on the subject of Love, both original and selected. The latter are principally extracted from the works of Shakspeare, Milton, Prior, Coleridge, Southey, Byron, Chatterton, Moore, Thompson, Lyttleton, Armstrong, Pope, Young, Jonson, Campbell, Shenstone, and Burns. The book is beautifully printed in a small neat size ; it is handsomely bound in silk, and would be a very appropriate present from a young man to the lady towards whom he feels a tender attachment. SELECT EXTRACTS. SUNSET IN EGYPT.—Poets and travellers speak with en thusiasm of the sun-sets of Italy, Switzerland, and Greece. I have seen the sun go down in each of those countries, but never with half the splendour which on this day accompanied his disappearance ; and could I succeed in reflecting upon the reader's imagination half the grandeur of this gorgeous show, he would unquestionably concur with me in thinking, that, but for its evanescent nature, it was far more worth a voyage to Egypt even than the pyramids. No sooner had the sun's disk disappeared behind the Libyan desert, than the whole western sky along the edge of the horizon assured a cclonr which, for want of a better term, I shall call golden ; but it was a mingling of-orange, saffron, straw-colour, dashed with red. A little higher, these bold tints melted kith a singular kind of green. like that of a spring leaf prematurely faded ,; over this, extended an arch of palish light, like that of an aurora borealis, conducting the eye to a dish of deep violet colour, which formed the ground-work of the sky, on to the very skirts of darkness. Through -all these semicircles of different hues, superimposed upon each other, there as cended, as from a furnace, vast pyramidal irradiations of crimson light, most distinctly divided from each other, and terminating in a point; and the contrast between these -blood-red flashes and the various strata of colours which they traversed, was so extraordinary, that, I am persuaded, no combination of light and shade ever produced a more won derful or glorious effect.—St. John's Egypt. NEWS-MAKING.—Can anything dead or alive, more pitia- bly unhappy be conceived than a jaded scribbler for the pub. lie press—sitting down to his task at the last moment, with an aching head and an empty stomach—or vice versa, which is exactly the same in effect ? Imagine the forlorn drudge's ecnaation, as he doggedly lifto the quill eturnp and moves it instinctively towards that fountain of good and evil, the ink pot, surcharged with both the gall of bitterness and the ho ney of adulation. He is destitute of a topic—his over wrought brain has exhausted its stock of images, and he can fancy nothing but the ghost of an idea already hackneyed through all the changes of the alphabet—no subject that has not been hackneyed to death by the hungry scissors of bor rowers and imitators. Yet must he continue to feed the iron jaws of the press ! There is no release from the und: r taking. He is in for it, and sterile, feasting or starving, his imagination must be wrung daily, yea hourly, for where withal to meet the merciless demands of the demon at his elbow. Other men may eat, drink, and sleep ; may live, move, and have a being like decent creatures; the merchant may relax in time of sickness, or retire at seasons of enjoy ment ; the mechanic may forego a job when he breaks a limb, or chooses to go a fishing ; the farmer may work, or let it alone; and the mariner has frequent intermission amidst the tails and the storms of his career, and the world wags on without confusion, nevertheless, they only comparatively feel the consequences. Not so with the slave of types. For him there is no holiday. No repose, no retreat await his tired powers. When he skulks, the world comes to an end, and chaos riots! Nor is it merely indispensable that he should labour at brief and stated intervals—th.i most irksome sort of employment from its very constancy and regularity, and unceasing recurrence ; he must also put forth his efforts at something new. The reading public has become a spoiled child, with a depraved appetite, perpetually hankering after novelties, monstrosities, and impossibilities. In the fabri cation of these erudities for quiduuncs, a renewal of intellect once a-year, at least, should be provided for. There is an end even to " the spider's most attenuated thread ;" and what maker of longer yarns can be required, in reason, not only to spin out, like a spider, the substances of hi s body, but that of his brain also ? 'Truly this is .a cruel world; and the man that meddles with paragraphs, a miserable piece of earneous machinery.—Buckingham. RACING ANECDOTE.—The following anecdote is recorded of John Jackson, the Yorkshire Jockey, who died on the sth of August, at Northallerton, aged 71. He had won the St. Leger race eight times. But perhaps the most succes s f u l feat of John was when he was appointed to ride Mr. Petre's Theodore for the St. Leger in 1822. Theodore, who had run successfully at two years old, was defeated a few weeks previously to the decision of the St. Leger; and from being high in the betting scale, he was knocked down to the lowest point. In proof of how much he had sunk in public estimation, it need only be mentioned that, on the morning of the race, a hundred guineas to a walking-stick of the value of one shilling was laid against him, and taken. Jackson was sadly mortified at his chance for the race, and was very de, sirous of riding one of Mr. Gascoigne's horses, either the colt or the filly, and declared that he could win upon either one or the other. But his chance was unalterably fixed upon Theodore. The extraordinary success which ensued will be seen. He was extremely low spirited during the whole of the forenoon, especially when he knew the state of the odds ; and at length grew rather ill tempered. As the time drew near, he walked to the ground with his saddle at his back, in no very enviable frame of mind, and was weighed in due course. On inquiring afterwards if any one had seen Mr. Petre, or his groom, or his horse, he was answered in the negative. He then proceeded into the field, and repeated his inquiries there with the like success. At length he dis covered a horse at the far end of the field, led by a little sta ble boy.. He thought that it must be his horse, Theodore. He trudged across the lands' and, approaching the boy, said, "Is that Mr. Petre's horse, my boy ?" " Yes, Sir," was the answer. " Bring him here," said the veteran, " and pull off his clothes directly," and proceeded to adjust. his saddle, to strip himself to, his riding dress, &c. The little boy assisted him to mount, and he re-crossed the field in the direction of the course. When he was passing the Rubbing-house, a gen tleman asked, " What horse is that?"—" Mr. Petre's Theo dore," said another.—" What will you lay against him ?" "A hundred guineas to one."—" Done."—" Done," and the bet was booked. Jackson heard this, and looked not very pleasant—in fact, he was mortified, and ill tempered; and had, even previous to that, let Theodore . feel that he had his spurs on. But Theodore was alive, remarkably fresh, and ready for the struggle. In fact, he had done little in the way of exercise since his previous defeats ' and was almost wholly disregarded. Whil s t p ara di ng in, front of the Grand Stand, the objects of universal notice were the first favour ites, Mr. Watt's Muta and Marion, Mr. Gascoigne's colt, and filly, Mr. Poulett's Swap, Mr. Riddell's The Whig, &c. whilst Theodore was little noticed by any one. They ap proached the post in a body ; and Jackson, - who was noted or obtaining a good place, got in front. The.word " Go" was given by Mr. Lockwood, and away they rushed, Theodore taking the lead almost immediately. The pace was very fast. Jackson was surprised at his own position : and after wards observed, in allusion to this extraordinary race, that " when we got to the first cross road, I had lost all my ill temper and mortification—l turned my head for a moment— a crowd of horses (twenty-two) were close at my heels—the sight was terrific—the speed was tremendous. Theodore pulled hard, and I held him pretty tight., " Now my little fellow," said Ito myself, " keep up this speed to the top of the hill, and I don't care a straw for the whole lot." I felt as strong as a giant, and the blood rushed merrily through my veins—away we went—l was first over the hill, and never headed in any part of the race." Immediately 'after des cending the hill, however, he- eased his horse a little ; and was instantly on the look-out for some of the favourites. H e could see that Swap, a grey horse, was defeated. Not so pie others. They challenged him in turns, first Marion, then Gascoigne's colt and filly, right and left—then Muta— then Gascoigne's again ; and here the skill and judgment of Jackson was powerfully evinced. Theodore, perhaps, partly frightened by the tremendous thunder at his heels, still wanted to go ,further a-head ; but his rider so continued to use his powers as not to waste them. Challenge after chal lenge was given, and as often defeated. Jackson .never suf fered his horse to go much in advance of the rest. Holding him with a firm hand, but still going very fast, he only slack ened the reins when he was attempted to be coupled. " I could," says the veteran jockey, `see head by head ad vance as far as my boots on each side • and when I encou raged Theodore forward, I could see head by head glide back wards out of my sight, observing to myself (said he) " Now I think you are all done." I felt then that the race was my own. as I heard the exhilirating sounds from the Grand Stand as I approached, " Theodore—Theodore—Mr. Petre—Jack son—Theodore wins," which he dd in the most gallant and skilful manner, by nearly a length, to the perfect astonish ment of all the betting men, and of the immense crowd of spectators, who honoured Jackson with three loud and hearty cheers as he approached the scales to be weighed, WAFERS.—The oldest letter yet found with a red waf was written in 1624, from D. Krap, at Spires, to the Govern ment at Bayreuth. Wafers are ascribed, by Labat, to Genoese economy. In the whole of the seventeenth century they were only used by private persons ; on public seals com mence only in the eighteenth century.--Fosbrooke. ARTIFICAL MEMOR V.—A humorous comment on such systems was made by a waiter at an hotel where Feinaigle dined after having given his lecture on artificial memory. A few minutes after the professor left the table, the waiter en tered with unlifted hands and eyes, exclaiming—" Well, I protest the memory man has forgotten his umbrella." DAHLIAS.—Dahlias are like the most beautiful women without intellectuality; they strike you w ith aslonishment by their exterior splendour, but are miserably destitute of those properties which distinguish and render egreeable less im posing flowers. Had nature given the .fragrance of the rose or stock to the dahlia, it would have been the most magnifi cent gem of the garden ; but, wanting scent, it is like a fine woman without mind. LOSING GOOD MORALS BY AN EARTHQUAKE.—An American ship lay in Taleahuana at the time the several earthquakes were experienced there. Shortly afterwards, while in another port, the captain thought it necessary to punish a man, but allowed that if the offender could advance any reason for his immoral conduct, he would be pardoned. " Why, sir," said Jack, " you see as how I think that 'are earthquake shook my moral principles out o' me." Such able reasoning had the desired effect and Jack was forgiven. —American paper. FEMALE RESIGNATION.—Deacon Marvin, of Lyme, Con necticut, a large landholder and exemplary man, was exceed ingly eccentric in some of his notions. His courtship, it is said, was as follows :—Having one day mounted his horse, with only a sheepskin for a saddle, he rode in front of the house wherein Betty Lee lived, and, without dismounting, re quested Betty to come to him : on her coming, he told her that the Lord had sent him there to marry her. Betty, with out much hesitation, replied, " The Lord's will be done." MINUTE SHELLS.—The following account of the minute shells common during the ecocene period (the earliest period of the tertiary strata) is very curious. It is from Miss Zour lin's work, " Recreations in Geology :"—" These little crea tures appear to have been very numerous during this period ; for in the formations of the Paris basin, which correspond to the London clay, a kind of rock or stone occurs, called milli olite limestone, which is used in building, and which is al most entirely composed of millions of shells no larger than a small grain of sand. Yet these are by no means the most minute creatures whose remains have been discovered. A peculiar kind of stone is found in Tuscany, in an ounce of which 10,400 microscopic chambered shells have been found. Of these species a thousand would nearly weigh a grain, and even these are large compared with the infusioria which Pro fessor Ehrenberg has lately discovered." THE SPERM WHALE.—One'of the mast curious and sur prisins• of the actions of the sperm whale is that of l ea pi ng completely out of the water, or of " breeching." as it is called. The way in which he performs this motion appears to be by descending to a certain depth, and then making some powerful strokes with his tail, wl.ich are r apidly re p ea t e d, and thus convey a great degree of velocity to his body, be fore it reaches the surface, when he darts completely out. When just emerged, and at his great elevation, his body forms with the surface of the water an angle of about forty five degrees, the flukes lying parallel with the surface. In falling, the animal rolls his body slightly, so that he always falls on his 'side ; he seldom breeches more than twice or thrice at a time, or in quick succession. The breech of a whale may be seen from the mast-head on a clear day at the distance of six miles.—Beale. MANUFACTURING POTASH.—The manner of extracting potash from sea weed is as follows ;—When a sufficient quantity of kelp has been collected, it is spread out in a place where it will be dried by the sun and wind, and when dry enough to burn, a hollow is dug in the ground three or four feet wide ; round its margin are laid stones, on which the the weed is placed and set on fire. Quantites of this fuel being continually heaped upon the circle, there is in the centre a constant flame, from which a liquid substance, like melted metal drops, into the hollow beneath. This substance is worked or stirred with iron rakes, and brought to a uniform consistence while in a state of fusion ; and when cool it consolidates into a heavy, dark-coloured alkaline substance, which undergoes in the glass-house a second virtification, and then assumes a perfect transparency.—Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of H. M. ships Adventure and Beadle. WHITEFIELD'S ELOQUENCE.—An Officer in Glasgow, who had heard Mr. Whitefield preach, laid a wager. with another, that at a certain charity sermon, though he went with prejudice, he would , be compelled to give something. Tpe other, to make sure, laid all the money out of his pockets ; but before lie left the church, he was glad to borrow some, and lose . his bet. On another occasion, Mr. White field preached in behalf of the inhabitants of an obscure village in Germany, which had been burnt down, and collected for them six hundred pounds. After the sermon, White field said, " We shall sing a hymn, during which, those who do not choose to give their mite on this awful occasion may sneak off." No one stirred : he got down from the pulpit, and ordered all the doors to be shut but one, at which he held the plate himself, and collected the above sum. — Countess of Huntingdon's Life and Times; Vol. I. CURIOSITY OF THE SkIERIFF OF MEKKA.—The sheriff ordered his scribe to be t Pint for, and to seat himself on the divan. He came bearing in his sash an inkstand girdled with diamonds, from which he took a beautifully decorated reed ; and the sheriff, while his eyes glistened with delight, directed him to rec,prd all that had been said respecting Bri tish India. "We knovt , something of Hindostan," he added, " it supplies Mekka with almost all the articles we consume. We see a great many pilgrims from that country. Your go vernment does not interfere with them. That is just, that is right." He made many inquiries about Europe. " Was there not a very great Warrior there some years ago ?"—" You I mean Napoleon Buonaparte." He had not heard his name, he said, but had heard of his deeds. " And was he not con quered, and sent away to die in exile?"—" He was !"—" But if he was so great a warrior how came he to be conquered?" —" Because there was a greater warrior than he !` And what was that other warriors name ?"—" Wellington ." " Put that down, put that down," said the sheriff to the scribe. " And what is the name of your king ?"—" We have no king, we have a queen."—" What! a woman ! Put that down, scribe ! Put that down. " And what is your queen's. name ?"—" Nictoria Alexandrina,"—" And what: is the meaning of her name?"—" Victoria is your Nasrah, a name given to celebrate the great victory of the great warrior we were speaking of."—" Write that, scribe.- but Alexandriva what is the meaning of that ?" Upon which we pointed out the relationship between the royal family of England and the imperial family of Russia, and that it was in honour of an emperor of the north that the name of Alexandrina was given. But Arabs have no notion of any latitude in name-giving, and we did not succeed in making the reasons clear to the she riff. It was too remote an association of cause and effect ; and he said quietly, " I do not understand this :" but he did not say to the scribe, " Put that down."—" But do your people ever see your queen ? Does she unveil her,face?'— " Indeed she does, and a very pretty face it is !"--;.! Mashal lah ! Put it down, scribe:" We had just been reading in the papers an account of the city festival in honour of the queen, and described it to the astonished sheriff as well as we could—the unveiled ladies of the court, the ceremonials, the feasting, the procession, the speechifying. " Mashallah ! MaShallah ! I must believe it, because you say it. Put it down, scribe ! put it all down."—Dr. Bowring's Minor Morals. REPORTERS AND REPORTING.—AIthough the duties of - reporters are both important and arduous, it is only of late years that a disposition has been shown to afford them"facili ties for the discharge of them. Formerly they had no means of entering the gallery of the Commons beyond those enjoyed by the public generally ; and, on days when an interesting debate was expected, they were frequently obliged to take their places on the stairs early in the forenoon, and, after standing there for many hours, to depend for their chance of getting in, by battling their way in the crowd when the door opened. The first arrangements for the express purpose of accommodating the reporters were made a few years before the death of Mr. Pitt. Previous to that time note-bookshad been very generally introduced; but in the Commons, from the crowded state of the gallery, they were comparatively of small use. It happened one night, when the Premier was to make a leading speech, that the gallery was more than usually thronged, and neither by force nor entreaty could the re porters procure even tolerable accommodation. They took counsel together; and The result was a secession. Next morning, instead of the rounded periods of the Minister, there appeared nothing but one dire blank, accompanied by a strong comment on the grievance in which it had originated.' The almost immediate result was the appropriation, under the direction of Mr. Speaker Abbott, of the uppermost bench of the gallery to the reporters' exclusive use, with a door in the centre, by which they alone had a right to enter. Soon after, a small room at the end of the gallery passage, which bore on its glass panels the words " Reporters' Room," not withstanding the standing order and its penalties, was added for the convenience of the gentlemen previous to taking their places in the gallery, and during the divisions. The Lords followed the Commons in their accommodation of the press, at the due distance which befitted their dignity. It was not until about twenty years ago that a note-book was permitted to make its appearance at the bar of the upper house. If a young or forward reporter ventured to display the implements of his trade to the eyes of their Lordships, they were imme diately struck from his hand by one or other of the messen gers. The first person who ventured to rest his book on their Lordships' bar is said to have been Mr. Windyer, who now is, or lately was, a justice of the peace in Sydney, New South Wales ; his example was followed—and only two sessions af terwards the robe of Lord Eldon (while his Lordship was proceeding to the bar to 'receive a deputation of the lower house) having accidentally caused Mr. Windyer to drop his book within the bar, the noble Earl checked his onward step, picked up the fragments of the passing debate, and presented them, with an engaging smile, to their collector. In the ses sion of 1828-9 when, from the intense interest to which the Catholic question gave rise,- the press found it difficult to maintain their station, a portion of the space below the bar was railed off for them.; and a session of two after, when a strangers' gallery was added to the Lords, a seat was set apart for their use. In the present temporary erection, the privilege of an exclusive place for the press is provided in both houses—in the Cominons, behind the Speaker's chair.— Wade's. " British History, Chronologically Arranged." GLASS TABLE.—APPLICATION OF STEAM.—In noticing the works of art sent from this district to the meeting of the British Association at Birmingham, last week, we referred particularly to a splendid Glass Table, manufactured at the glass works of Joseph Price, Esq.. of Gateshead. We have since had an opportunity of inspecting the material out of which this article has been formed, when we were struck with' its beautiful appearance, and close resemblgnce to jaspar—an appearance produced when the glass is in a fluid state in the course of manufacture. It is now nearly twelve months since the process of colouring glass in this manner was discovered, since which time it has been manufactured into vases, snuff boxes, smelling bottles, and various other articles of similar description. Mr. Price is' the sole inventor of this beautiful and useful, article. We lave also had an opportunity of wit nessing the application of an improvement made by the same gentic:nan, in the mode of constructing steam engine boilers, by which, with a consunintion of coal less than one quarter of that commonly employed, the same quantity of steaui was generated. The peculiarity of construction lies in the interior of the boiler, the flue of which is made to pass several times through its entire length, thereby economising the heat, and producing at the same time, a currrent of air equally strong, as would he caused by a perpendicular chimney of the same length. The boiler, which we saw, was attached to an engine of about 10-horse power, with 20 and a half inch cylinder, and was working at about 1* lbs. pressure to the inch. The con sumption of cdal averages about two tons weekly, which, with an ordinary boiler producing the same power, would be some where about Bor 9 tons. There are other important advan tages possessed by Mr Price's boiler over those in ordinary use, and which recommend it to the attention of scientific and practical men. Mr. Price has, we understand, prepared a plan of conveying Her Majesty's mails regularly to and from the East Indies, which he has submitted to the notice of the Home Secretary and to the Board of Trade. He proposes to establish a line of steam vessels, which shall leave Blackwall weekly, and perform the voyage by the Cape to Calcutta, in eight weeks, returning in the same period, and carrying coals and provisions sufficient for consumption on board during the passage. One of the great difficulties attending Mr. Wag horn's experiment of overland mails through foreign and in part hostile, states, would thus be entirely avoided, and cer tainty, regularity, and despatch ensured in all our commrni cations with the East. Troops, when required, might also be transported with facility, and brought into field of action with a promptitude suited to the emergency of the case. The sum required for carrying out the proposed plan is one milli on of money, which when the importance of the object is con sidered, will not, we trust, be withheld by Government, should the scheme be deemed practicable, as we doubt not it is.—Neuvastle Journal, atbipping f ntriligoirt.

The demand still continues large, the trade and exporters buying freely, and full prices are obtained. The sales yesterday were 7000 bales, of which WOO American and 400 Surat were on exporters' account ; to-day, 5000 bales sold, 500 American for export. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 10. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday last the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastwise have been quite trivial, and from Foreign ports also to a moderate extent, and the weather has been alter nately fine and rainy ;—on Saturday we had very heavy rain, which must have been very injurious; and altogether, we fear the unripe Grain has improved but very little, and not much of that which has been cut can have been well secured, and that the operations of harvest throughout this district, and to the northward, and likewise throughout Ireland, have progressed very slowly and unsatisfac torily during the past week ; although reports of the crops from the counties south of Birmingham on the west, and of Lincoln on the east coast, particularly those around London, are more favourable, and they appear to be three weeks more forward than with us ; the weather is now becoming seriously alarming for the northern harvest, and justly exciting fears for the crops in the minds of those best qualified to estimate the consequences; purchases have been made by the millers and dealers more freely for their immediate wants, at fully our last quotations; and although the present high prices deter speculators from acting at home, we have reason to believe they have already turned their active attention to Foreign ports, from whence supplies of Grain may be expected—certainly to the very great benefit of the United Kingdom, and, it is to be hoped, with advantxtge to themselves also ;—the transactions have only been to a moderate extent during the past week here, and in all our country markets, and a small improvement in prices has been ob tained ;—the increased quotations on Wheat below proceeded more from the very superior qualities—hitherto held back, and now offered for sale—than from any decided general advance since last Tuesday. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports since Friday last is, as expected, a reduction of 4s. per quarter on Wheat—say to 6s. Bd. per quarter. and on Flour to 4s. per barrel; and no alteration is anticipated next Friday in the duties on any kind of Grain some small parcels of fine heavy Dutch Oats in bond find sales for export at 3s 4d to 3s 6d per 451bs ; but all other bonded Grain and Flour sell as free, deducting duties. Although it rained a little on Sunday morning, the high wind on that day and on the forenoon of yesterday will probably have ena bled the farmers to secure some fields of Grain previous to the recurrenee of heavy rain yesterday afternoon and last night ; to-day it is again fair, and at this day's market, though pretty well attended, there appeared no particular excitement, nor any increased spirit for purchasing, and sales were effected only to a moderate extent of every article in the trade, and excepting in Wheat as above men. tioned, we cannot make any decided alterations in our quotations of this day week; the demand for Rye has been very languid, and some holders have been endeavouring to press sales at about our lowest, whilst others abstain from offering even at our highest quo tations, considering this article below its fair proportionate value.

The business in Wheat has been very limited this morning, and the prices of Monday have been sustained for superior samples of old, both English and Foreign ; but the new English Wheat is so very inferior, that the millers consider it unfit for use, and conse quently very little of it can be sold. In Oats the business has been active at the prices of Monday, and for very superior samples an advance of 6d and gd per quarter has been readily obtained. In Barley,•Beans, or Peas, nothing of importance has been done to day. The duty on Foreign Wheat willfall to-morrow to 2s Sd, and from present appearances the ports will be opened at the nominal duty in the course of about three weeks from the present time. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, SEPT. 11. The first three days of the present week were very fine, during which time the greater part of the Corn in this part of the country has been secured in good order. Wheat is firmly held for last week's currency ; the sales of new reported are from Ss 6d to gs ; old, gs to 95 4d per 621 b. Malting Barley not so much in demand, but its value is supported Beans and Peas scarce, and in request. There are buyers of Oats at Is per qr. in advance, but none offering. DUBLIN CORN MARKET, SEPT. 10. There was rather a better supply of new Wheat at market. The general price was without alteration, but some samples of superior quality brought au advance of from is to 2s per barrel. Bere and Oats remain at their former currency. New Wheat 32s to 41s; new Oats 14s to 16s. SMITHFIELD MARKET, SErr. 9. In our market of to-day the supply of Beasts was moderately good, but, for the most part, of inferior quality. The buyers, who were in numerous attendance, especially from the country, pur chased the primest Scots, Devons, anti Ilerefords steadily, at fully the quotations noted on this day se'nnight ; but with the secondary and inferior Beasts the trade was excessively dull, at a decline of 2d per Slits, yet a clearance was not effected. Sheep were in lair average supply, and ready inquiry, at unvaried rates, whilst there were very few prime old Downs on sale. As the Lamb season has been brought to a termination we have discontinued to make any distinction between Mutton and Lamb. The Veal trade, notwith standing the supply of Calves, was, on the whole, limited, was dull, at barely last week's prices. Pigs were in sluggish demand, at previous rates.
