'Tis the time of prayer, when the sun has fled, When the thick shades of darkness around us are spread ; When the moon from her curtains scarce ventures to peep, And the wind whistles hollowly over the deep -0 then is the hour of prayer. 'Tis the time of prayer, when deep silence reigns, • When the wind blows shrill in dismal strains, When the stars and their brightness recede from our sight, And leave us alone in the blackness of night— Oh then is the hour of prayer. 'Tis the time of prayer, when the thunders roll, When the thought of futurity strikes on the soul ; When the lightnings dart o'er the troubled main, And the eye strives to pierce thro' the darkness in vain— Oh then is the hour of prayer. "Tis the time of prayer, when in pensive mood We sit in the deep gloom of,solitude, When our own still reflections, we fain would shun, And raise up our thoughts to the Holy One — Oh then is the hour of prayer. 'Tis the time of prayer, when the midnight hour Strikes lonely and loud from the village church tower ; When the silence is broken by the deep hollow chime Which tells of the shortness of fleeting time — Oh then is the hour of prayer. A CHILD'S DEATH-BED. She breathed not a sigh, not a word did she speak, As the spirit of death passed o'er her, But a brilliant flush lit her cold pallid cheek, As she smiled on those kneeling before her. Her white hands were rais'd towards heaven in pray'r, Her lips gently moved in devotion,. And scarce could you tell that the spirit was there, So slight was that young heart's emotion. He blue eye once bright, was now dim with a tear, •She gazed calmly and sweetly around her, But none could have deemed that death was so near, So mildly his fetters had bound her. Each small hand was clasp'd in her parents', who kneeling, Strove vainly their grief to repress. But down whose care-worn cheeks, fast and silently stealing, Were tokens of bitter distress. Not a feature was changed, but a heavenly smile On the sufferer's lips seemed to play, As her gaze fondly turn'd on her parents awhile, Ere her spirit should speed on its way. Yes, that lovely child died, and returned to its God The spirit that He had not given, But lent, till released from mortality's sod, It winged its bright flight up to Heaven. LATE OUTRAGE ON THE BRITISH FLAG. (From the Morning Herald.) Another account, and a more detailed one, of the circumstances attending the recent outrageous. attack bn the British naval flag, has been published on the authority of a correspondent of the Falmouth Express, and will be found in another column. That account, it will be seen, is not only more particular than the one originally published by the Falmouth paper, but gives rather a different view of the matter as to the party primarily responsible for that flagitious insult to the honour of Great Britain, from what anybody inferred from the previous statement, or from the official com munication made by Lord Minto on the subject in the House of Lords, and echoed by Mr. C. Wood in the House of Commons. If the correspondent of the Falmonth Express be correct in this amended, or rather more circumstantial, report of the transaction, there can be no doubt that Admiral Baudin is himself the party primarily respon sible, the outrage having been committed by his or ders, the French officer who boarded her Majesty's packet to force away the pilot having alleged those or ders as his authority, and directed attention to the ad miral's signals in confirmation of what he stated. If this be so, Admiral Baudin is the real culprit, and must be made to know, or his Sovereign must be made sensible, if he dares to screen him from the conse quences, that although an English ministry, destitute of manhood or patriotism, may be willing to slur over this national wrong, there is still a spirit in England which will not allow insult to be offered unavenged to the once-glorious flag of our naval dominion. The flag emblazoned with the names and achievements of Blake, of Effingham, of Rodney, of St. Vincent, of Howe, of Duncan, of Nelson, and of other " lions of the deep"— " The flag that braved a thousand years The battle and the breeze" — that flag was first_ disgraced and degraded by the whigs for the sake of a French alliance by entering into that vile Anglo-Gallic convention to intimidate and coerce England's old ally, the King of Holland—a convention so base in its origin, so inglorious in its re sults—a convention which the Dutch King and his people treated with defiance and scorn, and which be came the ridicule of Europe when the combined fleet sailed back to the Downs, bringing with them from the coast of Holland not even a basketful of sea-shells, such as Caligula collected and carried to Rome, as the testimony and trophy of his Batavian conquests. This disgrace the British flag was made to endure for the advantage of Louis Philip and his barricade monarchy when the crafty old Talleyrand used to boast of leading the genius of the Foreign-office like a French poodle in a silken string. Behold the reward ! The same Louis Philip picks a quaff rel with the Mexi can republic because it is a weak power that he can bully, and a great outlet for British trade in Southern America, and, while carrying on this little better than piratical warfare, compels—aye, let England feel it as Lthey will—compels the flag of England to be accessory i to the slaughter of her own customers, by using it as "a decoy for a Mexican pilot, who, by placing confidence in that flag, is allured on board of one of her Majesty's vessels, and is thence dragged on board the French fleet to steer the enemiee of Mexico to the murder of his countrymen—a refinement in cruelty worthy o Gallic civilization. Still, though Admiral Baudin gave the order for this atrocious outrage, we by no means abandon the opi nion that the officer who executed the . order ought to have been allowed to escape " scot-free." 'We quite agree with Captain Pechell, who, though a "liberal," has the high feeling for the honour of the flag and of the country which distinguishes the true British " tar," that the French officer who dared to board her 'Ma jesty's ship to execute the order, whether he was the Prince de Joinville or any body else, " ought to have been instantly bundled into the sea, to swim back with that answer to his insolent superiors. It - was very recently that Marshal Soult, as Louis Philip's ambassador extraordinary to the British court on the occasion of the Queen's coronation, was re ceived in this country with a feeling of attention and hospitality carried to an extravagant extreme. Even our own Wellington seemed almost a secondary,per sonage for a time, while English liberalism was lavish ing its honours upon his oft-times vanquished antago nist. Behold the reward ! The admiral of Louis Philip issues an order the most insulting; to the British flag that can possibly be conceived, and the son of Louis Philip carries it into execution. The British ministry took so kindly the " kicking" inflicted upon the honour of " the flag" by the Rus sian autocrat in the case of the Vixen, which is so dis gracefully mixed up with the inglorious history of Lord Durham's embassy, that it naturally invited a " kick ing" from our treacherous French " ally, " whose " secret" understanding with Russia is now no secret at all. If such insults are put up with by England, the great naval anthem, whose chorus is " Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves ! • For Britons never shall be slaves." will appear to breathe only the language of mockery and derision. The insult was most public arid humiliating, and most public and humiliating ought the apology to be. It would not be beyond the measure of the office to in sist on the dismissal of Admiral Baudin from the ser vice in which he has done that, with deliberation and design, which seemed like a wanton provication to War, for it would most assuredly have justified a British admiral in sweeping his piratical flotilla from the seas. This thing must not be slurred over as our pusillani mous ministry wish to slur it. We do it, at all events, trust, and the public will expect it, that the conserva tives in parliament will not neglect any proper and constitutional means to obtain ample reparation for the insulted honour of the country. When the honour of the flag is concerned, let them recollect that the last order of that naval chieftain who carried that flag to the highest pitch of glory, leaving it without a rival on the ocean, " England expects every man to do his duty." Let them do theirs, and such an insult on the "-meteor flag of England" will not be soon repeated. THE MEMBERS FOR CHESHIRE. Mr. George Wilbraham, M.P. for South Cheshire, voted on the 19th February for Mr. Villiers' motion, to hear evi dence at the bar of the House of Commons for the repeal of the corn laws, against the agricultural interest.—Farmers of Cheshire ! bear this in mind ! !—And Mr. George Wilbraham also voted in favour of Mr. T. Duncombe's motion for open ing the patent theatres in Lent, which was merely another side-wind blow at the church.—Friends of the church ! bear th:s in mind ! ! Mr. E. J. Stanley, M.P. for North Cheshire, voted on the 19th February for Mr. Villiers' motion, to hear evidence at the bar of the House of Commons for the repeal of the corn 1 tws, against the agricultural interest.—Farmers of Che shire ! bear this in mind ! !—And Mr. E. J. Stanley also voted is favour of Mr. T. Duncombe's motion, for opening the patent theatres during lent, which was merely a side-wind blow at the church.—Friends of the Church ! bear this in mind!! We hope that the conservative committees and their agents, &c. in both divisions of the county, are on the alert, for (who knows ?) there may be both a change of ministry and a general election, before many weeks pass over our heads. The imbeciles are hard up. Finally, we recommend all conser vatives, in phrase expressive, to keep their weapons bright— their hearts light—and themselves generally in as good case and condition as if they expected to be called upon to-morrow to tight the battle of the constitution on the hustings. The wind is setting in our favour, fortune already smiles upon us, and there is every reason why we should be cheerful and hearty—and oust from the representation the two radical members—Messrs. G. Wilbraham and E. J. Stanley, who havo clearly forfeited their claim, as the farmer's friends, and are almost the declared enemies of the church.—Chester Courant. MARISCRAL COLLEGE.—On Tuesday, Mr. Colquhoun, of Killermont, M.P., for the Kilmarnock district of burghs, was elected rector of Marischal College, for the present year. The other candidate brought forward was Mr, Campbell the poet—Aberdeen Herald. FREE-TRADE FALLACIES !I (From Me Staffordshire Advertiser) AN APPEAL TO LANDOWNERS, FARMERS, MANUFACTUR ERS, AND OPERATIVES, AGAINST THE CONTEMPLATED CHANGES IN THE CORN LAWS. ENGLISHMEN, Arouse from your lethargy ! the enemies of your country, under the inviting cry of cheap bread, are attempting to undermine your independence by abolishing the corn-laws. The enemies of the corn-laws tell you that their abolition will benefit you, but, landowners, farmers, manufacturers, and operatives, read one or two of the results of a free trade in foreign corn, and no longer be backward in advocating your own interests. _ . . - The first result of a free trade will be (as its advocates in tend) this. All corn will settle to nearly one-half below what farmers call a " paying price." The foreigner can bring wheat into our markets for three shillings and sixpence per bushel ! Will this then benefit your landowners ? No ! It will throw one half of your estates out of cultivation, and conse quently, seriously diminish your incomes. You, .Whose in comes are very large, would still be able to appear as gentle men—but, on a reduced scale. But, even this state, which may be called 6xisting—not living, as gentlemen, if those incomes have descended to you, burthened to any amount with mortgages, legacies, younger brothers' portions, &c., will be denied you, for all these must be paid in full, though your estates have decreased fifty per cent. in value. What then, is the conclusion? Simply this. You will be ruined ! If this be the case with the large landed proprietors, it needs not much quickness of perception to see what will be the effect upon all the small proprietors—those independent yeo men, of one or two hundred a-year, many of whom have borrowed five hundred or a thousand pounds for improving their freeholds. A thousand a-year reduced to five hundred may enable its owner to still enjoy some comforts ; but (alas for the pride of old England !) an income of 4:100 reduced to £5O, with £lOOO at 5 per cent. interest upon it, leaves a wonderful amount of comforts for the family of its possessor, and of capital to compete with the foreigner ! But, mort gagees and moneylenders are a very merciful and considerate class of people, especially when an estate is sinking in value ! . . Would it benefit you farmers ? No, it would ruin you! You cannot compete with the foreigners for reasons we have before shown, and with your capital sunk in your land you must abide, either to emigrate to some of our colonies, while you have a few shillings left, or to work upon the roads for six shillings a week. Would it benefit you manufacturers ? No ! Be deceived not with such hopes; for they are vain. By ruining the agriculturists you destroy your home trade, which is nearly three-fourths of your whole trade, while you would not in an equal ratio improve your foreign trade—re member that the corn growers of Poland, Pomerania, and Ukraine, are not small freeholders and independent farmers, who spend their whole profits amongst you, but overgrown and grasping potentates, with much land and little money, who cultivate their territories with serfs and bondsmen. They want not English gold to spend in comforts for their degra ded and wretched vassals, but to spend in continental luxu ries—not to buy your manufactures, but to rival them. They have the talent, they only want the gold ! Before you bene-. fit the foreigner at the expense of the agriplturist, you should set the agriculturists an example of magnanimity. You should say we produce clothing—farmers you produce corn— foreigners produce both. Now to protect us the law will not allow a hat, a cap, a shoe, a ribbon, a handkerchief, a piece of silk, or apiece of cloth, to come into England without pay ing a tax. And, to protect you, the law will not allow a quar ter of corn to come in, (unless you have little,) without a duty. Let us put the foreigner upon the same footing as our selves. We will take off the duties on French silks, laces, gloves, &c., &c. ; Saxon cloths, Silesian calicoes, and Swiss chintzes, &c. Operatives would it benefit you ? No ! Be not gulled by the popularity hunters, who tempt you with the bait of " a sixpenny loaf for threepence." You engaged in agriculture, bethink yourselves what would be your condition when your masters were reduced to the stern ne cessity of " working on the roads !" And you engaged in manufactures deceive not yourselves with the delusion that if food be cheaper, labour will not descend in the same ratio. Remember, too, that there are 2,900,350 families employed in agriculture and the home trade; of these 1,195,000 are to tally dependent on agriculture, while only 527,000 are de pendent on our foreign manufactiirers. An agricultural la bourer and his family have not on an average above 12s. or 14s. per week, while you earn at the least double that sum. Driven, then, by desperation and poverty to seek out the large towns, would they not be dangerous competitors for "cheap" work? Would your masters care for your turning out at lower wages when they would have hundreds of starved agricultural labourers ready to turn in for any wages ? Think of this, then, and heed not the ravings of those who would make you discontented. Defy them to show you a cheap country with happy peasants. Bid them compare your con dition, comforts, and liberty, with the wretched states of the Russian and Polish serfs, whose morsels of " black bread" is their only luxury. Tell them to look at the poor peasants of Hindostan or China, toiling all day for a miserable penny, and luxuriating at night—on bread, beef, and beer? no! on a little rica and water ; and then ask them if you ought to change? Whom then will a repeal of the Corn Laws benefit ? - Will it benefit the nation? The usurer may be enabled to swallow up so many more victims ! Small freeholds will fall easier into the hands of creditors ! The great manufacturers will be all the better able to break up the small ones, dependent on home trade ; but that the national wealth, the national prosperity, will be augmented by what injures all the component parts of its constitution ; and ruins that part which creates the greater portion of that national wealth, is beyond reason. Englishmen, this is a picture of the effect produced by the abolition of the corn laws. But the evil effects of the fallacious free-trade system end not here. Not only do we diminish our national wealth— cripple the resources of our nobility and ruin thousands of our agriculturists ; but we endanger our actual independence, yea, our very existence as a nation. For, let it not be for gotten, that in enriching the potentates, or rather the task masters of Poland, we are filling the coffers of the•very man whom we have most cause to look upon as our enemy—the autocrat of Russia ; a man whose whole policy shows him to be our rival, and whd fears not our valour, but our gold. Yet it is to this man that our blind (or worse inotived) countrymen would pay an annual tax of gold. Yes, not only would they enrich him, but depend upon his caprice, as to the quantity, and his avarice, as to the cost, of the very staff of our existence ; when one nod of his head would suf fice to shut up the stores of Dantzic, Hamburgh, Memel, Riga, Odessa, &c., and to " starve us into submission" to his haughty and ambitious projects, even though these pro jects were aimed at the destruction of our dt arest interests. For what continental state could or durst send us a grain of corn, did Nicholas desire that England should no longer be a nation ? Is it then improbable that such would be his de sire, were we once fairly in his power, did we once deptnd entirely upon continental corn ? No ! The very envy of our superiority would impel him to it. Never will Englishmen allow it to be said that " The flag that brav'd a thousand years, The battle and the breeze," was through one act of intemperate policy lowered to a bar barian, and not one warning voice raised to save it. Remember the truth history has handed down to us ; that when Rome fetched her dictators from the plough—when her kings and her emperors encouraged agriculture by exam ple and precept, she became the " mistress of the world.;" but %hen she came to depend upon the " floods of the Nile" for her subsistence, impoverished in purse, deprived of the aid of her peasants and her farmers, who fought for their' homes, their farms, and their vineyards, she became the prey of faction ; the secret of her strength was made known, and she sunk, to rise no more in the scale of nations. Meet together and petition—petition—petition ! let your representatives and the country hear your voices. Yung men and old men be prompt, persevering, and united: Let all minor differences be forgotten in one great struggle for your country and yourselves. Hesitate not, but act ; and the antidote will, yet, counteract the poison, and gain you the blessing of every one who is A LOVER OF HIS COUNTRY. THE ROYAL PARTY AT FAULT. (From a Sunday Paper.) The following has been sent to us as a faithful description of the scene which occurred at the Old Oak Commbn, when Langley the shepherd refused to allow the " Royal party" to make a road of his master's meadow : " Sir George," said the Queen, seeing the shepherd at a distance, and wishing to make a short cut into the Harrow road—" tell that person we desire to go through his field." " I say, there old feller !" exclaimed Sir George Quentin, " just open this gate here, will yer ?" " Woot foor ?" asked the shepherd, approaching the gate. " Woot foor !" humorously echoed Sir George ; " why we want to make a cut through this meadow, old cock ; come look aloe there !—d'ye hear ?" ", Ees, I hear," replied the shepherd, " but I beant agoin to oopen the geate." " You won't ?" cried Sir George: " Noo, 'll be darnged. if I do,' said the shepherd. " Well, I never . 1 ' exclaimed Miss Quentin. " Did you ever ?" inquired the Honourable Miss Murray. " You speak to him, my Lord," said the Queen, to the' Earl of Fingall. " Blur an ouns !" at once exclaimed that Noble Earl ; " what's the manin ay this mighty botheration wid ye, eh? Open the gaate, ye ould bog-throtter, immediately." • I sharnt," said the shepherd, " if I do I'm darnged, noo, an that's 00l about it." " Ye mane to say ye wont't" cried the Noble Earl, swelling with indignation ; " ye won't lit us cut through this meddy ?" " Noo, I won't," said the shepherd, " goo rarnd." " Opin the gaate, dirthy washer to ye !" cried the Noble Earl ; or be me sows it's' myself that 'll lay this shindy across yer dirthy sbowlders, till ye haven't a rag to yer." " Softly," said the Honourable Major Keppel, checking the rage of the Noble Earl, and then turning to the shep herd with a smile, " my good man, all we want is to pass through this meadow ; come, open the gate—come, come, come, that's all we want." " knoow that's all you want," said the inexorable shep herd ; " boot I arnt agoin to do it ; goo rarnd." " How tiresome, to be sure," said the Queen. " What a dreadful old man !" cried the Honourable Miss Murray. " Oh, it's perfectly shocking !" exclaimed the Earl of Ux bridge. " The old fellow deserves to—to be—l'll go and knock him down." " By no means, my Lord," said the Queen, and the Earl of Uxbridge backed to the rear with all possible despatch. "If dat pearsonne," observed the Baroness Lehzen, lifting her leg over the pommel of the saddle to giye it ease, " it' dat personne vos lif in any odare contrary dan dis, he wood no be allow to do dat vidout his modare. ' " Tuuther and turf, then," exclaimed the Earl of Fingall, with a menacing aspect, " it's the meddy ye don't mane to lit us pass through? ye don't mane to open that gaate ?" " Noo, I doan't mean to oopen the gaate," said the shep herd, " so it arnt o' noo use if yer stop here 00l night.". " Now see what a change a single word will effect," said Colonel Wemyss, as he left the Queen's side to approach the shepherd, " Hem ! Fello ! do you know who we are ?" "Noo I don't," said the shepherd, " and what's moore, I doan't care." "What a horrible brute !" excliimed the Hon. Miss Murray.. " Mon Dieu!" cried the baroness, readjusting her leg, " vat a ver vulgar ting ! oh ! I nevere !" " Do you know, sir," continued Colonel Wemyss, assum ing an air of unspeakable dignity, in the full expectation that the word he was about to utter would cause the oldshepherd to fall upon his knees, and with trembling accents crave pardon, Do you know, sir, that you are now in the presence of your Queen ?" No, I doarn't," said the shepherd, with a species of un concern which inspired the " Royal party" with amazement: " boot wet if I be ? do yar think I'm agoin to let this here *dick be cut up by them horses' hoofs accause one on 'em happens to carry the Queen ? Noo, wot's the Queen to me ! An I spose yar 00l loords, but nayther loord nor Queen nor King, nor ony sich a thing shall cut up this ere paddick I can tell yar, and so yar may 00l on yar goo round.' • " Bad luck to ye !" exclaimed the Earl of Fingall. "Be the mighty and eternal blazes that made me; I'll spile yer dirty countenance wid"— " My lord !" said the Queen, " the poor person is very vulgar, and very ignorant ; don't• mind him ; come, let us return," and the " Royal party" did- return, utterly asto nished at the fact of the shepherd failing to fall upon his knees when Colonel Wemyss, with so much dignity, ex claimed, " You are now in the presence of your Queen I" EDUCATION-LORD JOHN RUSSELL PRIEST WHALE. (From the Edinburgh Evening Post.) Lord John Russell has proposed to appropriate £30,000 per annum from the public purse for popular education. We think that whig economy might have afforded a larger grant for that necessary purpose ; but even the sum intended is too much for the working of any educational scheme based upon the principles of the Home Secretary and his colleagues. In detailing the particulars of his system, Lord John was pro vokingly flippant and foolish. His exposition of the nature of his schools was vague and unsatisfactory to the last degree. In the curriculum of these seminaries religious instruction comes first; then moral training; habits of industry come next ; and then such knowledge as is fitted for a trade or professidn. We never, for our own part, understood that habits of industry could be made a particular and distinct branch of study at schools • an industrious habit is the recti tude of manner in which all the business of a school should be performed. Lord John Russell opined, that the instruc tion hitherto given in schools proceeded on a very false assumption, when it made reading and writing, with some of the elements of religion, to form education. He also thought that there was a good deal of force in the late Mr. Cobbett's objections to popular education, of which he was a decided opponent; that it did not enable a man to discharge better the duties of his situation and to gain his bread. The force of Mr. Cobbett's remark applies emphatically to Lord John, whose education, popular though it may be, has not enabled him to fulfil, with very great propriety, his duties as a statesman. Scarcely can any language of condemnation be strong enough in application to the man who could quote the brutal language of the custodier of Tom Paine's bones,"in advo eating the education of the people. To Cobbett man was a mere machine ; his end and aim was to keep his physical powers in a state fit for labour, and all higher views and nobler aspirations were to be buried beneath the clods on Irvhicli he - reared his corn. But to proceed to the flippancies of Lord, John. We admit that, if by education he meant a knowledge of all a man has to do in life, then the articles of instruction enumerated are too scanty : but still they form the basis of all other tuition, and direct and assist its appli cation. The knowledge which fits a man for a trade or pro fession will vary according to the genius of the individual ; and if Lord John consulted this, his schools would require to have as adjuncts, counting-houses, factories, fields, gardens, laboratories, miniature dock-yards, &c. &c. The absurdity. of Lord John's statements as to the bearing of religious in struction, and the trivial branches of learning comprehended in the usual scheme, will be best illustrated by taking the case negatively. What is a man without religious know ledge ?—what can he know who cannot read ?—what business is he adapted for who cannot write, and who must trust any matter of record to his own memory or to the paid pen of an amanuensis ? It would even be improper to teach children at school the elements of professions, as the time and labour might be thrown away, from the circumstance of the pupil choosing a different walk in life from that he was forced' into by his teachers. Neither Cobbett nor Lord John must be allowed to dictate the educational system of this country. It must be the work of different men. For our own parts, we are friends to the education of the people ; we desire to see every one educated, and every kind of genius evolved and turned to its proper pursuit, however high that pursuit may be, and however lowly may be the possessor of the genius fitted for " high designs." But we dread the inter meddling of rash theorists with a thing so sacred as educa tion, and deprecate that mode of instruction which leaves out religious training, or renders it almost nugatory from the cowardly time-serving way it is conducted. To consult the conscience of the weak is proper ; but it is more a duty' to consult the conscience of the strong. In respect to this momentous business, we need but look to the national schools of Ireland, and from their workings we will be more and more impressed with the conviction, that, in the main article of education, all compromise is crime. Connected with education, we have seen a document of a character which it is almost impossible to describe. It is a letter to' Lord John Russell from the well-known priest Nl' Hale, his grace " John Tuam." It is so characteristi cally popish, that it is dated on the " Feast of the Chair of St. Peter." This festival we never heard of before, and it altogether out-Herods the gridiron feast of Cobbett. For insolence, for wild presumption, for haughty and disgustingly ignorant contempt of protestants, it exceeds any other article of its class which we have ever perused. Some of Nl' Hale's coadjutors preserve the semblance of courtesy in their lan guage respecting protestants and their church ; but this fel low casts off all these appearances. and appears the spiritual ized bashaw of the mass-house ; the fettered but potential inquisitor, who bites the chain of a hated coercion, and sees in vision " the iron scourge and torturing hour" as the ap propriate fate of the sons of the reformation. This Beckett, so small," in commenting upon the secession of the Rev. Mr. Carlisle from the Educational Board, refers to the cir cumstance of the educational scheme being at present before thr Pope for his decision. The monk in the Vatican he styles—what think you, good reader ?—" The Father of the Christian World ;" and in the insolent tone of a pampered and saucy son of that father, he informs Lord John (who is, of course, his brother on his own hypothesis), that the " sys tem of national education is referred to Rome, and the fate of the board bangs in the balance suspended on the decision of Gregory." This is rather plain language, coming from " John Tuam," but it is as true as plain ; and his grace gives us to understand that he is at present in a state of expectancy, loOk ing for " light and aid from that holy city, which has ever been the fortress of religious freedom to every nation whose faith was attempted to b crushed." This is alarming, and we have cause to dread the resentment of his holiness, should he take it into his infallible brains that we are crushing " John Tuam. The allusion to Rome is particularly happy. We recollect the cordial blessing the Pcpe gave to the Spanish Armada, when it wafted to our shores instruments of torture for the English protestants, and also the hymns of triumph which were sung by the 'Pope and Cardinals in a church in the " holy city," wheu the most joyful tidings reached the Vatican that, on the Feast of St. Bartholomew,, the streets of Paris were washed by the blood of thousands of perfidiously massacred protestants. Does the insolent priest to whom we refer forget the sufferings of the Waldenses, associated in eternal infamy with the " triple tyrant," and the holy city in which that tyrant had his seat of tyranny, of fraud, of cruelty, and of monstrous and idolatrous ambition ? Nor is this all. M`Hale would lead us to believe that his is the best instructed communion in the world. He spurns at the notion of Ireland receiving instructions, written or oral, from the " seats of spiritual darkness and of infidelity ;" and this magniloquent boast of independence comes from a Romish bi shop, whose work, as Dr. South happily observes, is to teach people to be ignorant. But perhaps Mg - bile's works are significant enough : where ignorance is regarded as the mother of devotion, men are wholly independent of illumination — even from' the holy city itself, the very quarter from which " John Tuam" expects both " light and aid." We recollect that' Lord Lyndhurst was on the point of being torn to pieces, even in the House of Commons, for cdling the Irish " aliens in blood, in ,language, and in reli gion." M`Hale, however, is not afraid to designate us "men of alien countries, and of an alien creed;" and in this way we are thanked for the yearly grant to Maynooth, for the emancipation act, and for the Educational Board. Nothing we can do will ever conciliate the papists—they want more than we are willing to give—they wish us to commit a con stitutional suicide—to give them entire ascendeny ; and short of this, we only expose ourselves to sheer ingratitude by our gifts. We shall have a few words to say when the expected " light and aid" arrives from the " holy city," froia which quarter we may not precisely expect light, bat we can well anticipate AID for every scheme of popish tyranny and in solence. When Mendelssohn was written to by some musical per sons in London, requesting him to recommend the two best female singers he knew in Germany, with a view of offering them engagements, he sent the names of Clara Novello a n d Mrs. A. Shaw. hat a con.pliment to English talent ! ADVANTAGES ARISING FROM THE INTERFERENCE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S QUARRELS, —By their imjustifiabie ' we might say wicked, conduct in taking part in the national dis putes which have caused a civil war in Spain, her maiesty's ministers have cost this country the sum of £569,169. Nor is this all: they have, in addition, sacrificed the lives of eight thousand of our fellow-subjects, besides tarnishing the military glory of a great nation. PROTESTANT ORPHAN SOCIETY.—We have just heard that a Protestant Orphan Society has been formed in the town of Sligo. It is, indeed, a pleasing reflection that the poor Protestants of Ireland are engaging the synpathy of the upper classes. We shall be happy to announce a greater spead of this kind feeling towards a clasi of persons, who have been, and are, enduring great persecution.—Dublin Evening Packet. NEWSPAPER STAMP RETURNS.—SOMC dour contempo raries, we perceive, are ostentatiously publishing the official return of newspaper stamps put forth by the Whig Govern ment every quarter; although their inaccuracy has been so repeatedly pointed out and universally admitted.—Those last delivered are as erroneous as any of their predecessors, for, in the stamps issued to this journal alone, and in one single month, there is im error of one hundred and eighty thous an d. —viz. 20,000, ifistead of 200,000 ! !—Morning (not the Mid land Counties') Herald. EDUCATION IN IRELAND.—We are assailed by clamours for edueation;and to education in, its enlarging, enlightening and ameliorating influences, we are friends ; but it is not such an education that is demanded, for while the popular passion pants for an acquaintance with what may be called natural knowledge; there is a deplorable indifference to the spiritual destitution of the country. This needs no proof, but an appalling exemplification of the result occurred in the Recorder's Court on Thursday. A little girl was produced as a whness in a case in which her evidence was deemed im portant, but before she was sworn she was questioned as to her impressions of what she was about to do. " How old are you ?" asked a Barrister. " Twelve years, sir." "Do you know the nature of an oath ?" " No, sir." " Did you ever go to mass ?" " Once, sir." " Did you ever hear there was a devil ?" "No, sir." One of the jury having remarked that it might be well to put the questions in Irish, this was done by Mr. O'Connell. He asked her if she had any prayers ? She replied " Yes, sir, four," and at his de sire repeated the Lord's prayer. At the suggestion of the Deputy Recorder she was asked if she knew who was meant by the words " our father ?" She said she did not. "Do you know who God is ?" " No, sir." " Did you ever hear what would happen to persons who tell a lie ?" " I did not, sir." " Whom do you pray to ?" "To Father Walshe, sir !" The examination went no further, but the case was postponed to afford time for the usual instruction as to the nature of an oath. The child is, as we have mentioned, about 12 years of age—a smart-looking, pretty, and intelli gent little girl, and rather above the average run of persons of her class. She lives in the liberties, within about six miles of the city.—Cork Constitution. PITCH-GROUNDS OF TENERIFFE.—There is nothing more extraordinary in the structure of the whole island of Tenerilie, than the extensive pitch formations it contains. The part of the island in which the pitch-grounds, as they are called, are found, is about twenty-four miles from Port Spain, at a place called Point Breea. There, it is said, they are fifteen hun dred acres in extent. On landing at Point Breea, which is done on a Sandy beach, a person is naturally surprised to see large black rocks of pitch towering above the sand, and pieces of them rolled smooth and plentifully about the beech, like pebbles. Every step he takes is on pitch ground. Exten sive masses of it are also found presenting a broad and smooth surface. In some parts it seems as if a barrel of pitch had been upset, and left to mix with the soil. The pitch, in ge neral, is merely a superficial boating on the surface of the ground ; and nothing but strict examination would,allow me to believe that the fertile scene around is situated on pitch grounds. But it is so ; cottages and gardens are implanted on it, and on it vegatation thrives most luxuriantly. The pitch-ground is not one continued mass of this substance, but it is a series of broken and irregular patches of it, the soil intervening for considerable spaces. After walking up a gentle ascent of a mile and a quarter from the sea, over the pitch-ground, the visitor reaches an elevated basin, which is called the pitch-lake. This is a vast mass of pitch naturally collected in the form of a lake. The surface of it, moreover, assumes the appearance of one, and it is completely surrounded by a wood. The length of this lake is about half a mile, and its greatest breadth about half a furlong. Nu merous pools of water abound on the surface, and the deep cracks and fissures in the pitch are filled with it, in which little fish and frogs sport about. This water is perfectly fresh and good. The pitch appears to be in some parts of great depth, if such an opinion may be justified from the cracks and fissures. It is hard enough to sustain the weight of a person walking on it, but becomes a little softened by the heat of the sun ; so that persons a little distance from each other some times disappear by sinking gradually into the hollows formed by their own weight. On the confines of the lake, vegetition is abundant and vigorous ; and pine apples which grow on the pitch-grounds are said to be remarkably good.— Voyage of the Chanticleer, SELECT EXTRACTS. GERMAN LITERATURE AND LITERATI.—It is calculated that ten millions of volumes are annually printed in Ger many, and that there are upwards of 50,000 authors of one or more books. METHOD OF CLEANING GLASS.—Reduce to a very fine powder a piece of indigo, moisten a rag, apply it to the pow der and smear the glass with it. Wipe it well with a dry cloth. Very fine sifted ashes applied in the same manner by a rag dipped in brandy or spirits of wine will answer well ; but Spanish white ought to be rejected, as it is apt to take the polish off the glass. GARLIC. — The Hungarian jockeys frequently tie a clove of garlic to their racers' bits, when the horses that run against them fall back the moment they breathe the offensive odour. It has been proved that no horse will eat in a manger, if the mouth of -any other steed in the stable has been rubbed with this plant. I had occasion to ascertain this fact. A horse of mine was in the same stall with one belon g ing to a brother officer ; mine fell away and refused his food, while his com panion throve uncommonly well. lat last discovered that a German groom, who had the charge of the prosperous ani mal, had recourse to this vile stratagem. It is also supposed that men who eat garlic, knock up upon a march, the soldiers have not made use of it. Hence, in the old regulations of the French armies, there existed an order to prohibit the use of garlic when troops were on the march. —Dr . Milling en. Dr. ADAM CLARKE'S OPINION OF THE ESTABLISHED CHIJRCH.—I consider the Church of England the purest na tional church in the world. I was brought up in its bosom ; I was intended for its ministry. I have been a Methodist for half a century. I have been a preacher for forty-three years, and I am highly deceived indeed, if I be not, without any abatement, a thorough member of the Church of England ; its doctrines and its sacraments, which cot stqate the essebee of a church, I hold conscientiously as it holds them. , I reve rence the Liturgy next to the Bib.e ; I proclaim its doctrines and administer its sacraments, not only in the same spirit in which it holds and administers them, but also in the same words or form. I also reverence its orders, and highly esteem its hierarchy ; and have not a particle of the Dissenter in me; though I love and esteem all good men and able ministers, wherever I find them. Mr. GURNEY'S LAMP.--In the spring of 1835, Mr. Gur ney proposed, by combining oxygen with the flame of wax or oil, to obtain light of great power, by which the object' ons to the lime light might be obviated. The proposition was immediately entertained, 'and the new light was put under experiment at the Trinity House. It is a well-known fact that oxygen increases the brilliancy of burning bodies, to a very great extent. Sulphur, which burns in common air with a pale blue and scarcely visible flame, when put into oxygen gives out a very intense light ; and phosphorous,when so surrounded, gives out a light so intense that the eye can not bear it. The same happens with charcoal, and with the frame of oil, wax, or other bodies which contain it. Dr. Priestley applied the principle to a common argand lamp, but owing to the oxygen meeting with carbon in a half state of combination with the atmosphere, he failed to produce the brilliancy which, from theory, he had expected. Mr. Gur ney had completely removed this defect by introducing the oxygen into the interior of the flame, where the carbon is pure and uncombined, and thereby produces a light with power equal to sixty argand lamps. The lamps used in light houses on the French coast give only ten. Mr. Gurney's light is cheaper than the French in the proportion of 12 to 17, taking all wear and tear into account. Oxygen is ob tained by heating black oxide of manganese, which is found in large quantities in Cornwalland Devonshire. The Trinity House, it appears, has resolved to adopt the light, and the House of Commons is to be lighted with it after the Easter recess.—Athen&um, CURE FOR TURNIPPY BUTTER AND MILK.—At this sea son of the year, when cattle are much fed upon turnips, it may not be unacceptable to mention that an ounce of salt petre put into 30 gallons of milk will divest it of the flavour of the turnip. CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE AS TO PROPRIETOR§RIP.—A body of Massachussets puritans are said to have justified their taking possession of the Indians' lands, by the follow ing summary process :—Unanimously resolved, Ist, That the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; 2d, That the Lord has'given the inheritance of the earth unto the saints ; and 3d, That we are the saints." ECCLESIASTICS PHYSICIANS.—Throughout Europe, but particularlyin France, in later times, the duties of the phy cian were chiefly performed by ecclesiaistics. Clerks and monks only were given to study, and they alone were consi dered capable of treating diseases. Among abb4s, canons, bishops, &c., who have been physicians to their sovereigns, and other distinguished characters, may be enumerated John Lavantage, Eustache Cailleux, Fulbert, Bishop of Chartres, Lombard, Bishop of Paris, Roger, of Provence, physician to Louis VIII., Robert, of Douy, a prebendary and physician to Margaret of Province, Obizo, Abbot of St. Victor, physi cian to Louis the Big, Rigord, a monk of St. Denis, and au thor of the " Life of Philip Augustus," a prohibition of physicians to marry, was only abolished by a special bull pro nounced by the Cardinal D'Estonville, in the year 1452, and this measure contributed not a little to effect the separation of the clergy from medicine.—Pettigrew's Medical Portrait Gallery. GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. — At the last meeting of this so ciety, the Rev. Dr. Buckland, president, in the chair, a com munication was read, " On impressions of drops of rain on slabs of new red sandstone, in the Storeton Quarries, Che shire, and coeval with the formation of the strata," by Mr. John Cunningham, of Liverpool. In a paper read before the society on the 3d of December, an account was given of the impressions of footsteps of several species of animals in the new red sandstone of the Storeton Quarries, ahout three miles southwest of Liverpool. In examining some of the slaps of stone, extracted at the depth' of above thirty feet, Mr. Cunningham observed that their under surface was densely covered with minute hemispherical projections, or casts in relief of circular pits in the immediately subjacent layers of clay. The origin of these marks, he is of opinion, must be ascribed to showers of rain, which fell upon an argillaceous beach exposed by the retiring tide, and their preservation to the filling up of the indentations by sand. On the same slabs are impressions of feet of small reptiles, which appear to have passed over the clay previously to the shower, since the footmarks are also indented with circular pits, but to a less degree; and the difference Mr. Cunning ham explains by the pressure of the animal having rendered those portions of the clay less easily acted upon. The rain fell during the remote ages of the world, the author stated, no person acquainted with geology will dispute, as to the destructive and transporting agency of rain waters many of the sedimentary strata owe their origin. The vast forest also, which grew at a period anterior to the new red sandstone, and are now treasured up in our coal fields, could not have flourished without abundant supplies of atmoepheric waters ; and that the effects of ,drops of rain may be preserved in a solid form,. be proved by reference to an account given by Mr. Scrope of a shower of rain which fell upon extremely fine volcanic ashes thrown out by Vesuvius during the erup tion of 1822. The drops of rain formed small globules, which hardened into pellets, and accumulated in some places at the foot of a slope, in beds a foot or more in thickness, and were often so aggultinated that it required a sharp blow from a hammer to break the mass. SINGULAR DREAM AND DISAPPOINTMENT.—A curious incident lately occurred in our immediate neighbourhood. A gentleman, who has a villa near this, dreamt that at certain number would be a prize in the lottery. The morning after his dream, which was only a week previous to the drawing of the lottery, he wrote a note to his clerk, to desire him to buy the ticket immediately ; and subsequently told many of his neighbours and acquaintances of his dream, the number, and of his purchase of the ticket. Being a very popular per son, all who heard of the circumstances were anxious that his dream should be realized ; and, to their great satisfaction, the number was drawn a very large prize. Forthwith, a nu merous party of artisans and peasants, employed by the gen tleman in question, sallied forth from Naples, with musical instruments, colours flying, and a banner gaily decorated, on which the lucky number was inscribed, and also the amount of the prize. In this manner they proceeded to the habita tion of Mr. , and announced the joyful intelligence, which, it is needless to say, spread a general hilarity through the house. This procession was followed by several friends and acquaintances, who came to congratulate the fortunate owner of the prize. Refreshments in abundance were served out on the lawn for the peasants and artisans, and a collation in the salle-a-manger was offered to the friends. Sufficient wine of an inferior quality not being in the cellar, the best was copiously supplied, in the generosity occasioned by the good fortune of the host The health of the winner of the prize was repeatedly drunk, and many suggestions, relative to the disposal of a portion of the newly acquired wealth, were given. The news spread, and the pleasure grounds of Mr. became literally filled with visitors of all classes ; when, in the midst of the general rejoicings, the clerk, who had been a week before deputed to purchase the ticket, ar rived, with a visage so rueful and woe-begone, that one glance at it announced some disagreeable news. Alas ! this unlucky wight had, in the pressure of more than ordinary business, forgotten to buy the ticket! and thought not of it until in formed of its having been drawn a prize. The rage and dis appointment of Mr. than described, when he saw the wheel of fortune, which had paused at his door, driven to that of another ; who, having heard of the dream of Mr. , selected the number, and became the buyer of the ticket only the day before it was drawn. The refreshments so liberally dispensed on this oe-- casion had quite exhausted the larder of the dreamer, and nearly emptied his cellar; and thus ended the affair of the lottery. Never were people so addicted to this species of gambling as are the Neapolitans. All classes indulge in it more or less, but the lower ones give way to it with an ex traordinary recklessness. Every dream, encounter, incident, or accident, has its own particular sign and number, which may be found in a book published for the instruction of the buyers of tickets, and of which every house has a copy. The death of a friend, however lamented, refers to a particular number, which the mourner forgets not to secure, if it conas in conjunction with some fortunate sign. Thus even out of misfortunes and afflictions the Neapolitans seek to draw some recompense. Nor does frequent disappointment seem to correct their eagerness for the lottery. They always disco ver some satisfactory reason for having missed the prize, and hope to be more fortunate the next time.— The Idler in Italy, by Lady Biessington. A SUMMER GARDEN AT ST. PETERSETIRGH.—We should prefer visiting these gardens on the famous fete of the 26th of May, when the girls of the middle classes are brought out to catch husbands. This is one of the most singular usages we have met with. The Russians call it the inspection or show of young girls. Regularly as the first days of summer return, all the young women who have not got husbands are paraded here by their parents, each in her best dress and best looks. Bachelors, young and old, enter the alleys, with cau tious step and anxious eye—glide in silence through the files of beauty ranged thick on each side—see some one whom they like better than others—stand awhile—go away—come back —and take another look ; then, if the honoured fair one still please, the victim ends my making proposals. To whom ? To the young lady, to be sure, guesses some impatient youth, but he guesses wrong. Such indelicacy is never heard of in Russia. A man to make love for himself would be contrary to nature, that is, to Russian nature, which is quite a differ ent thin , from human nature every where else. It is to the parents, then, that he addresses himself? No such thing! The unhappy reader is still wide of the mark. They manage these things very differently in Russia. A gentleman who intends taking a wife, employs some old hag from a class of women who live by match-making. He tells her what funds he has, what he is employed in, what he expects from his friends ; and, naming the fair one whom his eyes have chosen, begs that she will explain all these matters, not to her, but to her family. This go-between, this most unclasaical Prox- • effete, whose wages are as regularly fixed as the per-centages of a Ifroker, enters on her mission in due form. Explanations are given on both sides ; frinds are consulted ' negotiations of the most formal nature are carried on. Diplomacy is nothing to it. From unforeseen objections about prospects or dowry, the explanations of the high contracting parties often become as tedious as Belgian protocols. Months, in fact, may be spent in these preliminaries ; but all this time the poor damsel has had no voice in the matter. She has not seen her intended; they have never met so long as to whisper a stolen vow to each other. There will be time enough for the unimportant process of becoming acquainted, when their fate has been irrevocably fixed.. What have such silly considerations as like., or dislike to do with marriage ? In choosing a wife, it is r. beast of burden, a domestic drudge, that the Russian wants, not a rational companion—an equal. Were he to consult his affections in selecting his spouse, could he have the pleasure of beating her whenever he feels inclined ? Married women in the middle ranks appear to lead a most listless existence. Without education, and, by the jealous usages of the country, almost prohibited from taking exercise, ,their chief occupation seems to consist in leaning over the window all day long, with their elbows resting on cushions, and sometimes a poodle dog on each side,—,Brem, ner's Excursions in nwsia.

SUGAR.—The advance quoted on Tuesday last has been fully sup ported by the week's transactions, but the business has not been relatively to the same extent, as not more than 150 hhds. have been since that day. Strong refining qualities have found buyers at at 61s 6d to 635; but, but in consequence of the refiners being limited to the supply at the home market, they have not bought extensively. FOREIGN SUGAR.—On Friday, 594 boxes of Havana were offered by auction, when about 200 Were sold at 38s for good white, and 26s to 28s for low to fine yellow of middling grain. There are no sales yet to report of Brazil, but further arrivcls ore now landing. West India Molasses have been in better demand. SPIRITS. —The government contract for 75,000 gallons of Rum has been taken by one party at 3s 2.15-82 d per, proof gallon. There has been little business done in the market, and in consequence of the low terms on which the contract is to be supplied, the buyers are not disposed to purchase beyond their immediate wants. Some shipping orders for Brandy have been executed at our last quota tions, - and the market remains steady. Delivered for home con sumption last week, 107 puns. Geneva is unaltered. COFFEE.—There has been a steady demand for good clean Ja maica and other descriptions of B.F. Coffee at fully our last quota tions, and few parcels are to be met with, as the small stock is prin cipally in' the hands of the trade, and fresh supplies are not expected for some time. WooL.—The public sales of Colonial Wool, which commenced on Friday, have been numerously attended, and, contrary to the general expectation, have gone of with animation at prices equal to those of the December sales. DVEWOODS have been dull of sale during the past week. In PROVIONS generally there is little business doing. SOUTH AMERICA.

With the exception of Foreign Wheat, of which we had again a very large fresh arrival, the supplies of every other description of Grain for our market this morning were quite inconsiderable. Owing to the very thin atiendance of purchasers, we experienced a slow demand for both English and Foreign Wheat, and - to effect sales a trifling reduction on Monday's prices had to be submitted to. Flour did not attract much attention, and prices remain as last quoted. There was only a very limited inquiry for Barley, and very little bus;n: ss was transacted in this article, but for the few sales made former rates were in general realised. In. Malt there was scarcely anything doing, and its value underwent no alteration. Notwithstanding that the fresh arrivals of Oats, as well from our own coast as from Ireland, were extremely small, yet, owing to the large surplus that was left unsold from former arrive Is we had a good stow of samples this morning, and sales progressed slowly at about the dedline noticed by us in the beginning of the weak. In Beans and Peas there was no material alteration. Emporto. EAST INDIES, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, 8(c.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 6. The sales on Thursday last Were 3000 bags ; Friday, 4000 ; Satur day, 8000, (3000 taken on speculation;) Monday, 12,000, principally to the trade; Tuesday, 10,000 (4500 on speculation; and to-day, 25,000, (15,000 on speculation.) The business done since last week has been very large; an active demand sprung up on Saturday, which has continued with great animation. In prices, American have advanced fully id per lb ; Brazils id per lb ; other kinds remain steady. The week's import is small, 7251 bags. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 5. Since Tuesday week the arrivals of Oats and Oatmeal from Ire land have been to a fair extent, of Wheat and all other Grain from thence and coastways very trivial ; but the supplies of Wheat from the continent of Europe have been very great, some part of which is hard, but the'chief part is soft and of a very good useful quality, of the growth of Russian Provinces in the Black Sea, though im ported from ports in Italy, amounting altogether to a quantity much exceeding the immediate demand; sales, however, have been effected thereof to a moderate extent, and Flour has also found' a fair de mand, at about our last quotations. On the fine Mealing Oats and Oatmeal a small advance has, been obtained, and the stocks of fine Malt and Malting Barley having again become very scarce, sales have been made of both articles at an advance of Is per qr. and of 2d to 3d per 601 b on fine Grinding Barley; Beaus and Peas dull, and 3s to 4s per qr. lower. There was a small improvement in the York shire Corn markets of the past week, but it had very little effect on the Manchester market of Saturday. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of town add country millers and dealers, but the magnitude of the supplies of Foreign Wheat caused them to buy very sparingly of this article for their immediate wants though a decline of 2d per 701bs on the best descriptions, and 3d to 4d on middling qualities was submitted to, and for every other article in the trade, sales were very much stagnated at about the quotations in the prices current.

The number of Beasts at market to-day has been rather larger than that of last week, and pretty good in quality, but the demands having been fully equal to the supply, there being many country buyers present, who bought largely, they were all sold up at ad vanced prices from our quotations of last week. The supply cf Sheep has been exceedingly small, and have been sold at very high prices. The best Beef was sold as high as 7d, but good fair Beef may he quoted at 7d, varying from that down to aid, an 1 some of vex,' •;,rclinary quality at 6d per lb. and a shade less. The best Weib, , 2 Mutton realized B,d, second quality 8d down to 74d, ordi nary and Ewes 7d per lb. and but very few at the latter price. The market throughout for stock of both descriptions has been very brisk, having been principally broke up, Sheep in particular, as there was not a Sheep left in the market for sale at an early hour in the afternoon.
