LITERARY NOTICES. The Poetical Works of the Rev. Robert Montgomery, Vol. 5, Orford. Glasgow : John Symington and Co. IMO. This volume is one of the most interesting in this series, though we do not consider it' as equal to the other poetical productions of the talented author. The subject scarcely admitted of as wide a scope for the exercise of the imagina tion as the other topics upon which this sacred minstrel has so sweetly dwelt ! but there is a dignity of thought, and a chasteness and elegance of expression in " Oxford," which entitle it to rank among the best silecimens of descriptive and didactic poetryin the English language. But the great est charm about this volume, our opinion, is the large . mass of interesting inforMation which it embodies respecting the worthies who have been educated at that distinguished seat of learning. The reminiscences which it furnishes us of the most distinguished of ,l/liza Mater's far-famed sons, must prove a rich treat to every Oxonian in particular, and to every lover of literature in general. The - Church Magazine. Dec. 1839. London : • Wertheim.• We received this number at a very late period in the month, or we should have bestowed upon it au earlier notice. It contains a beautifully executed portrait of the Rev. John Robinson, rector of Clifton, Westmoreland, which is accom panied by a well written and interesting. memoir. We have been much pleased with the " Sketch of the .Present State of the Romish Sect, and its Jesuits, in England." This ar ticle ought to be perused by every Protestant in the land. The paper on " The Centenary of Methodism. in England" is a cynical production, abounding in mis-statements, and eminently calculated, from the virulent and persecuting spirit which it manifests, to tefeat its own object. There is much that is good in the ".Village Conversations ;" but it is ming led with mach that is superstitious and irrelevant to the sub ject. " The Chartist Riots ; and the Church the Saviour of the Nation," is a well written article, and calculated to do much good. On the whole, this nUmber is rather better than the former numbers of the Churchman._ Christian Literature.—Leslie's Short and Easy Method with the Deists.—Jeremy Taylor's Rule and „Exercises of Holy Dying.—Chandlees Plain Reasons for being a Christian_-'-_. Bishop Watson's Apologies for Christianity and theilible. , Edinburgh Adam and , Charles Black ; London: Wash bourne; Dublin: Curry. - . . The works which we have thus classed together form. part of a series of .i4ublicationa of, the principal productions of our greatest and roost eminent divines. The series 'em braces works in the evidences, the doctrines, and the prac tice of Christianity,. together with exigetical divinity, or ex positions of Scripture. Each publication is complete in it self, embracing an entire and separate work. The price, of course, varies with the quantity dr matter in each publica tion ; but in every instance' it is extremely; moderate. The series is admirably got up, as far as beauty of typography is concerned ; but 'the chief attraction of the works before us is their intrinsic merits. Leslie's Short Method wpth the Deists is a masterly production. It was well remarked by Dr. Johnson that " Leslie is a reasoner, and a reasoner who is not to be reasoned against." The perusal of this work has been eminently usefil to many who have wavered in their belief in Christianity. It forms an excellent antidote to the poison of Socialism. Jeremy Taylor's Rule and Exercises of Holy Dying,. like all the productions of this truly elegant divine, is characterised, by great energy of style and gor geousness of intagination.• Few writers have ever equalled Jeremy Taylor in the beauty of his language, and by none has he ever been excelled. 'The Merits of the work under no tice are too generally known to need our encomiums. Chand ler's Plain Reasons for being a Christian are characterised by great candour /Intl ability. We cordially recommend the perusal of this work to all who may be found " halting be tween two opinions." It is calculated to produce the most beneficial consequences. Watson's Apologies have been al ways considered the most complete refutations of Gibbon and Tom Paine ever published. The reasoning is cogent and conclusive, and the style is nervous and eloquent, fre quently rising to sublimity; Therepublication of such works as those which we have been noticing is very seasonable at the present day, when so many are found departing from " the faith once delivered to the saints," and when the insi dious and siitil , alestroyiug doctrines of Owenism are spread-', ing so widely in ever}"direction. Consideratiod4 on the increase and Progress of Crime. By William Stamford Phillips, Cent.—Liverpool: Marples arid Co. 1839. This pamphlet contains a variety of documentary evidence as to the propriety and necessity of a revision and amend— ment of the existing penal statutes, with a view to the abo lition of corporeal punishment, and more particularly of tl4 penalty of death. It is scarce necessary for us to state, that we dissent froM the conclusions to which the writer has ar-• rived. We consider the abolition of corporeal punishment' as one of those visionary and utopian experiments which would, result in the frightful increase of crime. If Mr. Philips wishes to diminish crime let hini direct all his ener gies to the promotion of a sound religious education. The universal prevalence of such a system would affect ten times more than all the prison discipline in the world. • CONTE.MPOIIARY PRESS. coMmEitcE. (From Me Commercial Gazette.} The commercial and mans interests of this kingdom are,.•at the present moment, in a inost de pressed and ruinous condition, and demand riot only the immediate attention of her Majesty's government, but call also for the, most serious and instant interfe rence on the part of the leading merchants, shipown ers, and manufacturers in everx part of the kingdom. The government are deeply interested in the reve nue, and so are the fundholderS. At this moment we are in a state of war with China; and the loss to the British exchequer in 1841, conse quent upon4his.state of things, .will not be less than four millions sterling ! There can be no doubt but that government have ta ken some measures to restore. the trade with China. What those measures are we do not, of course, pre tend to be - acquainted with, and must patiently abide the time when her Majesty's ministers may deem it proper to communicate the facts to the British public. Lancashire, Yorkshire, Devonshire, and SCotland have severally lost a good and profitable customer in China ; and this loss, so long as the intercourse is sus pended, will continue to be felt with increasing 'Seve rity daily. Birmingham, too, will necessarily suffer greatly by this event. With such an appalling picture before us, we feel it our duty to press upon the attention of the influential merchants in the above districts, the necessity of con veriing public meetings, with a view to the adoption of the strongest possible resolutions for the consideration of Parliament the.moment it meets.. With reference to the loss of our trading intercourse with China, it may be remarked, that when the manu facturers are shut out of, one foreign market, the usual practice is, immediately to seek a new one. Now, in the reign of. GeOrge the Second, several voyages of diieovery were - undertaken by order of his Majesty; and in the reign of his successor, George the Third, James Cook, the celebrated navigator, (who-in habited the very house which the writer lives in; and who commenced his career as a salloxAoy), left _ . England in - the good ship" Endeavour, in the year 1/68, on a voyage of discovery, at the inistanca of the TNoyal, Society, taking out with him several astronomers, to the Pacific Ocean, for the purpose of noting the traUSit 'Of Venus over the sun's disk ; which phenomenon, it was calculated, would take place in 1769. . We have said that the voyage was undertaken at the instance of the Royal Society. The fact is, a Memorial, rev - testing his Majesty's sanction to the expedition, was presented to George 111. (the grtlndfather of our young Queen), and immediately complied with. Otaheitewas fixed upon as the place of astronomical observation. . Now, we have alluded to-the foregoing facts as pre cedents-to be imitated,. in a commercial pointoU-view, at the present moment. We take reaye, lien; to suggest to those 'who are now shut out..af the. China market, to tietni_out a freighted with such manufactures as arc suitable to the: inhabitants of China, Tartarv,-and other nations in-the eastern and western hemispheres. An expedition of this kind may turn out as profitable to the manufacturers of England, and a vast deal more beneficial to the weavers of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Scotland, as Captain. Cook's voyage of discovery, with his cargo of astronomers. to note the transit of Venus! The. writer of this article is perfectly serious in sub itting the foregoing suggestions to the enterprising merchants and manufacturers of Manchester and other great productive districts; and he is ready to follot it up with . his most zealous co-operation, and to take any part in the advancement of a proposition 'which he conscientiously belieVes would lead to incalculable ad vantages, both to the merchant, the manufacturer, and the artisan. The Queen of ..England, we have no doubt, would be most happy to patronise en. undertaking promising gueri timely relief to her necessitous subjects.

After the best consideration nay lords can give the subject, and with the view of awarding most fairly - bet Ween the par ties, my lords have 'decided writ to give the specific sure men tioned-in their: minute 0f.23d - August, but have selected four cornmunicatioes which arc the most distinguished either for originality or fur completeness, and from which my lords have derived the greatest,serviee, and decided to award the 'sums of XlOO for each. .The autherrs of these four communi cations are as follows, the names being arranged alphabeti tally, viz. s-s-Messrseßogeirdus and Coffin, (who hhve acted together;) Mr.allenjffnaise , Chiverton, Mr. Henry Cole, and Mr. Charles Whiting. My lords next proceeded to take into consideration the. several points enumerated in the minute of the 23(1 of Aughst, - and the suggestions connected therewith which occur in the cornmemications-already.referred to. Their lordships, upon full consideration, have decided to' requite that, as far-as practicable, the postage of letters shall be pre-paid, and toeetfeet..such pre-payment by -.means of stamps. Theirdordships are - uf opinion that the convenience of the public will be consulted,• more especially at first, by issuing•stamps of various kinds, in order that every one may select that descriptionaal stamp .whichis most suitable to his own peculiar circumstances a and. With a view of affording ass ample choice,. their lordships are .pleased to direct that the. following stamps be prepared?-- . . • , : • First, stamped covers.—The stamp being struck on pieces of paper of the size of halfea sheet of 4to.letter paper. - • Second, stamped envelopes.—The stamp being .struck on pieces of paper of the lozenge form, of. which the stationers and others may manufacture envelopes. • • Third.—Adhesive stamps, or stamps on small pieces of paper with a glutinous wash at the back, which may be at- Lulled to letters either before or after they are written. And Fourth.—Stamps to be struck on paper of any description,. - which the public may send -to the stamp-office, for that pur pose. The paper for.the first, second, and third kinds of stamps to be peculiar in its watermark, or some other feature, but to be srapplied to government by competition. • My Ibrds direct that the commissioners of stamps anti. taxes, and the commissioners of excise, should receive oftiee cial directions to take the necessary steps, in conjunction - with this board, and with the Postmaster-General, for the preparation of the stamps herein enumerated.. • Although the necessary experiments and. investigetiOns which have been conducted under the direction of the board are already far advanced, my lords fear that a considerable . time trill be required for the - preparation of the dies, plates, and machinery (much of which is unavoidably of a 'mid construction) necessary for the maimfacture ef stamps ; and being desirouS of affording to the public, with the least -pos sible delay, the full adeantage of the intended reduction in postage, their lordships pi:Opose at once to effect such reduc tiene - - On the use of stamils e lioWever, rey lords hate fall - acciacill - They Will be - prepared with the least possible delay,.aed, when ready, due notice will be given of - the introduction. taerefore ' comninnicated With - the - authorities of Ptist-otfice,'.ray lords are plea:seal. to .direct that on the TOth'el January next, the following arrangements shall conic into Operation • • • The' seele of weight already established for general post lett - Crate be extended to the London district and other local post letters. The charges on all letters between one part_ of the United 'Kingdom and another, whether by the general . post or the. .LondOedistriet, or other local post, to be, one penny per single rate. Sikh postage to be pre-paid--if not pre-paid, to be charged ' double on delivery. Letters between the United Kingdom and the colonies'to be charged, if conveyed by packet, and not passing through France, at the rate of one. shilling per single rate ; and if . - conveyed by private ship, at the rate of eightpence per single rate, in whatever part of the.,United Kingdom they may be posted or delivered. Letters between the United Kingdom, and foreign coun tries (those passing to, or from, or throegh France excepted) to be charged as follows : If conveyed by packet, and posted at the port of departure, or delivered at the port of arrival within the United King dom, the present packet rates. If posted inedelivered in any other part of the United Kingdom, 2d. per single rate, in ad dition to the present packetrates, unless where a lower charge shall now exist, in which case such lower charge to continue. If conveyed by private ship, Bd. per single rate in- what ever part of the United Kingdom they may be posted or de livered. With regard toforeign letters to and from France, or pass ing through France, my lords consider 'that pending such modifications as may be introduced into the treaty with that country, the maximum of the charge for packet and inland poStage should not exceed that rate which is now chargeable • on a letter to and from London, no alteration being made in cases where the charge under the present treaty shall be less than such before-mentioned rate. The preceding reductions do not apply to letters passing via France, between the United Kingdom and the Mediter ranean, Egypt, and the East Indies, which will continue to be charged as at present. Letters between the United Kingdom and foreign countries will-continue to be subject to the same regulations with re , gard to pre-payment as at present. Lord Melbourne states to the boaid her Majesty's desire that.§uch measures may be taken with reference to her Ma jesty's privilege of franking as my lords may consider ad visable for the. public service, and in conformity with the other...regulations which they may lay down with regard to franks... • My totals are pleased to direct that from and after the 10th ..Tanuary next, the privilege of franking, both parliamentary and offiCial, shall cease. The e printect votes and proceedings of the imperial parlia went, or of the colonial legislatures of either of her Majesty's colonies, if sent in the manner now required - by law, to be charged as follows, whether passing from one part 'of the United Kingdom to another, or between the United King dom and the colonies, provided they 'do not pass . through France, or to the EasClndiee via Falmouth : Not exceeding 2 . 0 z. in weights-Id. Exceeding 2.0 z. and not exceeding 4 07 - 2 d. And so on, an, additional penny for every additional two ounces• without limitation as to weight, such charge to be the same whether pre-paid or not. Their lordships, however, consider it will be . proper-that the Postmaster-General - should be authorised, in cases where it may appear necessary so to act, to postpone the despatch of parliamentary proceedings for twenty-four hours, their lordships being - aWarce - that the greatest inconvenience fre quently has arisen from the very large influx of heavy par liamentary papers. And their lordships therefore are pleased to call the Postmaster-General's atteetion - to this point, with a view of his making such regulations as maybe required. The privileges now attached to - addresses to her Majesty, to patliamentary petitions, to siewspapera; and to the letters 'of soldiers and sailors engaged iti•seteivet abroad, tooe - main - unaltered, except that a soldier's oreSailot's single letter will be interpreted to mezin . a . letter not • exceeding half an ounce in 'weight. . If ant- priVileged letter or other article become liable to the full letter rates of postage, such rates to be charged according to the scale of rates herein established for letters. The tre ble duty to which newspapers in certain cases - became liable - to be calculated according to the same scale. All privileges, except those already enumerated, to cease. The following are exceptions to the reguiftion which re stricts the amount of weight to 16 oz 1. Parliamentary proceedings, as already named. - 2. Addresses to her Majesty, and parliamentary petitions. 3. Letters and packets received from or addressed to places beyond the limits of the United Kingdom. 4. Letters and packets addressed to, or despatched lay the government departments, or such officer as may now have the privilege of franking by virtue of his office ;—and 5.• Deeds, if transmitted under such regulations as the Postmaster-General may consider necessary to preveat abuse of the privilege. In consideration of the reduction now made in the posts age of ship-letters, and the probable increase of such letters,_ the master's gratuities will be reduced to 2s. 6d. per 100 for all letters, newspapers, and other packets conveyed between one part of the United Kingdom and another. At the same time, gratuities of one penny per letter or packet, and one halfpenny per newspaper, will be given to the roasters of ships trading to the East 'lndies, on the same conditions as those now applying. to. other ship-letters and papers. With reference to the arrangements herein made, the Channel islands and the Isle of Man are to be considered as parts of the United Kingdom, and the lonian Isles and Hon- duras as British colonies. • My lords are of opinion that the whole of these arrange ments should apply to all letters and packets posted within the United Kingdom, or (if brought from abroad), first deli vered up to any post-office within the United Kingdom, on or after the 10th of January next. My lords will communicate with the public departments with regard to the mode of charging the letters of such de partments. • Transmit a copy of this minute officially to the Postmaster,- ~ General, and destre his lorlship will give the necessary in struetions to his•officers to carry the directions of my lords into effect., • Desire alsothat he willfdirect the solicitor of the post. , ciffiee to prepare a draft of a warrant in conformity - with the sions of the postage iota, to be signed by my lords, and in serted in the Gazelle, pursuant to the provisions of the act, 2 and 3, let Vic. cap. 52. My lords, in earrying. the reduced rates of postage into ope ritioni.feel it tbeir paramount duty to provide against any dis arrangement:Which a giect influx of letters posted at the last moment might occasion in the business of the post-Wee. Whilst their lor4ships are mostunwilling that there should be any positive curtailment of the time allowed to:the public in posting letters, their lordships feel it necessary, in the tirst instance, at least, to hold out an inducement to the public not to delay the posting of letters to a late period; by, restricting the benefit of the full reduction to those letters which strait be posted early. And their lordships with this view, are pleased to authorise the Postmaster-General to close the letter boxes throughout London at live o'clock ; and in the country an hour or half an hour earlier than atpiesent, according to the_ dirmtmstances of each 'Oven. • • My lords direct that thefees for late letters be charged as follows . • • _ - - From the future hour. of closiugeacit box,..until the present hour, one penny per letter; , Or- pkikeitt4iith6ut: regard to its weight ; and after the present hout of eloping each 'oux, two pence per letter or packet, except where a larger fee is now established, in which case the present fee will continue.

The following statement of the total number of passengers conveyed on various lines of railway in the year 1838, is taken from the second report of the ComMittee of the House of Commons :—Liverpool and Manchester, 609,336 Grand Junction, 445,290 ; London and Birmingham, 459,385 ; Lon don and Greenwich, 1,544,266 ; Newcastle and Carlisle, 196,051: Stockton and Darlington, 2`28,946; Dundee and Newtyle, 59,682 ; Durham and Sunderland, 77,421 ; • Edin burgh and Dalkeith, ' 299,201 ; Garnkirk - and Glasgow,. 128,373 ; Leeds and Selhy, 90,637 ; Leicester and Swinilino•- ton, 23,053 Paisley and Renfrew, 143,180; Dublin and Kingstown, 1,141,679 ; Bolton and Leigh, 86,320; - CHARGE FOR C...k..RRYING PARCELS BY RAILWAY • -The Leeds.Mereury has thrown out a hint in reference to the reduction of postage, which we hope will be acted upon •by railway managements. The adoption (says our contecn— porary).4the.authorities, of the General Post-office, of the principle of charge by weight, makes them common carriers, and brings the, Post-office into direct competition with other .rapid modes of-conveyance. The :pest Of the smallest parcel from London ..to_ Leeds., by .the Express or Union coach, is 2s. 4d.'; by the - Manchester coach and railway, 4s. The charge for a parcel by post, with the utmost possible certainty of secure and. prompt delivery, is, under half an ounce, 4d. under an ounce, Bd., under two -ounces,.if prepaid, Is. -Id., and so on. The -result of this c*petition, even before the establishment of a uniform penny - postage, is sufficiently ob vious. The. most profitable branch of the trade, the carriage of small parcels, will he monopolised by the post-office and the railway proprietors will have to convey, at a small charge per cwt. a post-office bag containing perhaps fifty small par cels, which singly would have yielded them, say 3s. each. But the remedy is In the hands of the parties aggrieved, and is equally obvious. Let them meet the post-office (which purchases a commodity of them wholesale, and undersells them, in the retail market), as they can with advantage, on the-common ground at low charges. With the increase that might fairly he reckoned upon, one shilling, or even six-pence for a London parcel under one pound weight, would he a remunerative price.; and the experiment should not be de layed until the habit of sending packages by post has been eXtensively formed.—Railway Tinges. , . • • It is stated that the receipts of the.

The Robert Small sailed . from London last August. "A very singular case has been discovered on board our ship. We have detected a young lady in the person of .a sailor, who has done duty with our crew fnlm the time we left the Thames unit it was found that she belonged to the fair sex. Ele.r name is Mary Anne Arnold. She is the daughter of the lute Lieutenant Arnold, of the Royal Navy, who served in that capacity on board the Ganges and Prince Regent men-of-war. Being a man of dissolute habits, he lost his commission in consequence, after which he resided with - his wife at Sheerness, where, by continuing his habits of dissipa tion, he and his family were reduced to great distress. By the intercession of some friends, Mr. Arnold was admitted a .pensioner in Greenwich Ilespital, in which asylum he died recently. During the latter interval, and after her husband's death, Mrs. Arnold live d at Sheerness, supporting • herself and her children by manual labour until the summer of 1833, when, after great exertion in the harvest field, she was at tacked by bilious fever and died, leaving her children totally unprovided for. Mrs. Arnold's furniture was sold to pay the expenses of her funeral, and some charitable neighbours took the orphans into their house and supported them for a time. • "` Mary Anne, the subject of the present statement, was ten years old when her mother died. Partly by labouring in the fields, and partly by going on errands, she at first sup ported herself, and contributed to the sustenance of her little, sister, who was only eight months old when her mother died. Mary Anne next obtained permanent employment in a rope factory at Sheerness, where she earned 2s. 6d. a week. Going frequently in boats, and amongst the shipping, she - found that boys of her age, who went to sea, earned more money, were better fed, ' thought more of,' and in every way in a superior condition to her ; and upon this Mary Anne determined to renounce the petticoats, and. to become a sailor. Borrowing an old jacket, trousers, and shirt from a boy of her acquaintance, to whom she said she was going to have a lark in them, she took leave of the rope factory-and the owner of the clothes, without the ceremony of a farewell, and succeeded, to her great joy, in getting employment, as a cabin boy in the William, a Sunderland collier, then lying at Sheerness. Mary Anne was kindly treated, and she conti nued to do the miscellaneoui hard work of a collier's cabin boy abow and abaft for two years and two Months, to the satisfaction of:six captains, who successively commanded the William during that period. A seventh captain came, and this time man and boy did not like each other, so Mary Anne for ever abandoned the coal-marine and its Macke moor service, and on the, 211 of October, 1838, she entered as cabin boy at Shields, on board the brig Annie, bound for London and Quebec. She made several voyages in.this ves sel. Unfortunately, the Annie was wrecked off Blakeney, in the - last equinoctial gales ; but, the. caPlain and crew had the hick to escape, after enduring 4 ,- reht hardships. Return-ing to Shields, Miss Arnold entered again as - a cabin boy in the Choice, bound for London, with stores for the Robert Small, East Indianian, in which ship she next succeeded in getting , an engagement as a sailor boy: the day before she sailed from London. . • " She has well done her work as a strong, active boy in-. this ship- I have seen Miss Arnold amongst the. first aloft to reef the wizen top gallant sail, daring a heavy gale, in the Bay of Biscay. When we crossed the equator, she under went the ceremony of tarring anti; shaving its roughest. form. , On the 20th September last, some of the crew ex pressed suspicions. to Captain Scott that the boy Arnold was gi rl . , . • • . . • " The captain upon this ordered the .surgeon to c.tarnitie: the „youngster. The surgeon did so, and declared that".he, was a girl Miss Arnold then gave the foregt3ing. ,h4totsr , herself. The captain, and all the passengerS and" Crew, praised and pitied her. She was at once . preVailed - upon to . .abdicate ; the sailor's jacket and trousers, and resume the clothes proper to her sex. _ She now appears a pretty bash ful girl of nearly 15 years of age. The lady passengers have 'given her lots of presents. Iler hair is already getting long, Anti I Suppose she will soon think of - ringlets. Captain Scott behaves' in the kindest manner to her, and he has promised that she-shall receive her pay just the same as if she were to continue to do a you/11g mariner's duty during the whole passage out and home. Miss Arnold is, though rather bash ful, considering the short time she has had to learn ladies' ways, like other heroes and heroines, capable of being drawn out. I frequently see her surrounded by applauding listeners while she pitches a long yarn about ' the clangers of the sea.' " Our heroine has two brothers older than herself; one is boatswain of the Royal Adelaide, the other is carpenter on board the Britannia, stationed at Portsmouth. The latter, she says, knew that she had turned sailor, and he approved of the metamorphosis when he saw her in the trust and occupation of cabin boy on board the William." .Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cain bridge and Prince George are expected to honour the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham with a visit at Stowe, the se cond week in January. The principal state apartments are undergoing re-embellishment, previous to the arrival of the royal visitors. His grace has refurnished the mansion in a style of great splendour since has accession to the dukedom, and many improvements are in progress on the, splendid domain, under the superintendence of the noble duke. The ornamental gardens alone, laid out by Lord Cobham, cost half a million. • The period fixed upon for the embarkation of the next In dia detachments, from Gravesend, is the latter part of next month, or the commencement of February, at the very latest.

INctinsmvENEss:---A .short ttme ago, Sir John Lister Lister: Kaye, Bart, drove his carriage and four to the Royal Hotel, at Barnsley. On alighting, and proceeding down in the direction of the posting stables, a lusty fellow, with a short piph in his mouth, ran after him, and on arriving within arm's length, he laid. hold of Sir John by the shoulder, and turning him round, after puffing out a cloud ,something like that produced by the discharge of a 74, .he said, " Ha say, coachman, 03Ze consan iz yond?" Sir John, evidently a little surprised, but quite in gOod humour, replied, " Its mine, my man." The Barnsleyonian asked not another question, but strode off with both 'lands in his breeches pocket, not a little ashamed of the blunder he had committed. THE LABOURS OF A JocKEY. — Mr. Lye, the Yorkshire rider, has during the late season been engaged to ride in no less than 173 races, and he appears' to have been eminently successful, having won ti races. Of this number, 29 were for Lord Eglington (of which 12 were on his favourite horse, the Potentate), 11 for • the Duke of Cleveland, and the re mainder of his winnings were for other owners of race horses: I-Ie has travelled, in gglig from meeting to meeting, during the season, upwards of 1,000 Miles. Probably this is a performance unequalled by any of his brethren of thssturf, either north or south countrymen. What ho has netted by these labours is of course unknown, except to himself, but estimating his engageMents at the- lowest. figure recognised by the turf, viz.--five guineas for a .whaning race, and three guineas for a losing race, his fees would exceed G5O guineas for one year. The probability, however, is, that they 'are nearer the sum of 1,000 guineas. THE GRAZING,BITE.—HINTS AND HOPES FOR AUS STRALASIA.—No' savannahs were, found in Australia, be cause there were no beeves or buffaloes to graze upon them ; and the grasses upon the uplands were wiry tufts, few and far between, because there were no sheep to pasture thei.e. The kangfiril was the only grazing animal ; and it is not adapted to tine grasses, either in the structure of its teeth, or in those of its organ of locomotion. The proper grazing mouth is that which has eight chisel-shaped cutting teeth in the under jaw, acting against a cartilaginous . surface of the upper. These cut the herbage clean, wiehout that pulling up by the roots which is apt to be'perforined by a mouth of any other structure. The mouth of the great kangaril also con tains eight cutting teeth : but they are very differently ,dis persed ; fur there are only two of them in the under jaw, and there are six in the upper. A mouth of this kind makes a ragged bite, and cankers the remainder of the vegetable upon which it feeds ; so that a flock Of kangtirils would :very soon destroy the grass of a park or meadow. * * * * The mouths of those pachydermatous animals which are do mesticated arc also biting mouths, not grazing ones ; and therefore their browsing does not improve. the pasture to the same extent as that of the ox-and the sheep. The cutting teeth of the horse and the ass are six in each jaw, and the males have always canine teeth, or tusks ; and the hog genus have always six cutting teeth in the under jaw, and four or six in the upper. They have also canines, or tusks, which are very long and formidable in the male of the wild hog ; but they are not true teeth. * * We need not 'say that the feeding of hogs does not in any way conduce to the im proven-lent of the pastures upon which they are twined; for, if they are not ringed to prevent them from rooting, they oough up the surface, and devour the roots of the plants. Even the horse, which comes perhaps the nearest to a grazing animal of all the order to which it belongs, cannot be said tO be an improver of the surface. Its bite is ragged, and it is apt to tear up the herbage in tufts ; and, unless it can get " a long bite," it cannot subsist. The characteristic grazing mouths are'therefore those of the ox and the sheep, of which that of the sheep is decidedly the.neatest ; and, when either the one or the other of these is turned upon .proper pastures, not in too great numbers, they always im prove the ,qnality of that pasture. Sheep, indeed, bite so' close that they cannot be, with impunity, turned upon some of the more valuable artificial grasses ; for those grasses have .crowns or coronal . plates, at or above the surface of the ground, from which alone vegetation can he made and if those are nibbled off, or even jagged and torn by the sheep, the plants grow no more. - Oxen - do not bite either so clean or so close as sheep, and therefore they require more rank herbage ; but they can be allowed to paSture upon fields of those plants the crowns and the vegetation of which would be destroyed by sheep.—Madie on Domesticated Animals. THE ELEPHANT.—The Duke of Devonshire kept an ele phant at Chiswick, which had learnt to make herself useful in many acts of labour. At. the voice of her keeper, she came out of her house, and immediately took up a broom, ready to perform his bidding in sweeping the baths or the grass. She would follow him round the enclosure with a pail or a water ing-pot, showing her readiness to take that share of labour which the elephants of the east are so willing to perform. Her reward was a carrot and some wafer ;'but, • previously to satisfying her thirst by an ample draught, she would exhibit her ingenuity in emptying the contents of a soda-water bottle which was tightly corkel. This she effected in a singularly adroit manner. ' Pressing the small bottle on the ground with her enormous foot, so as to hold it at an angle of about 43 degrees, 'she - gt-adually twisted out the cork with her trunk, although it was a very little above the edge of the neck ; then, without .altering the position, she turned' her trunk round the bottle so that she might reverse it, and thus empty the water.into the extremity of her proboscis. This she ac nomplished without' spilling a drop ; and she delivered the empty bottle to her keeper, before-she attempted to•discharge the contents of the trunk into the. re.Outh,•-: .

All are neat, clean, and comfor table. They are birilt mostly of pise, or of unburnt bricks which have been hardened by the sun. The more humble cottages consist of brushwood and thatch. The sloping bank of the river is covered with gardens. These consist of small unfenced plots of - ground, Separated by narrow paths. Considering that the season most favourable for gardening has not yet commenced, the number of vegetables which the Germans have at the present Moment tinder culture affords strong proof of their industry. Among these are lettuces, potatoes, cucumbers, French, broad, and scarlet beans, car rots, ,turnips, onions, radishes, spinach, brocoli, cabbage, and green. peas; also rueltms, maize, mangel-wurtzel, mus tard and Cress, and few dowers. The inhabitants them selves are. not the least interesting subjects for contempla tion. The visitor will find_ them, one and all, as busy and cheerfulas English bees in the spring season. Out of doors they are Weeding, or watering, or •hoilding, or fishing, milk ing, washing, cutting wood, or carrying water. Within doors the housewife plies har'domeatic toil with equal assi duity. She ,is engaged in bread-making, butter-making, cooking, cleaning, or some such oeeupation. Not a soul is idle. Even the children, who are too small to work, yet large enough to learn, will be - sci found, in ordinary school hours, receiving the tuition of their excellent and indefatiga ble pastor. The visitor will be struck with the obliging dis positions and courteous manners of the people.

The fe male, although perhaps bending 'under a load of wood, has a smile, and some other expression of respectful courtesy, to offer the passing stranger. • Even the few natis'es who assist them in some of their labours appear to have imbibed their spirit, being retiring and unobtrusive.

'OF A 1.4.1t10.7. Nr.----The second instance of a married queen. regnant in our history was Queen Anne, who married George, Prince of Denmark. This sovereign was married many years before'she came to the throne. Her husband was,' soon a f..er the marriage, created Duke of Cum berlan d, and• took 'some part 'n politics, as a peer of parlia ment, in the 'reign of William 111. Thus we find him, in 1692, among those who entered a protest in the journals of the house of lords against the rejection of a popular bill of the time. The first exercise Jif Qeen Anne's power on her corning to the throne was the nomination of the prince her husband to the offices of Generalissimo and Lord High Ad miral. Being regarded only as a subject, however, he still continued to occupy a seat in the house of peers, in the qua lity of the Duke of Cumberland. in a subsequent period of the reign, having interfered- in politics, he was threatened with parliamentary censure by one of the great contending parties in the-state, which probably would have fallen on him had he not so soon afterwards died. Prince George had never, at any time, any pretensions to any character but that of a subject. In November, 1702, a provision was made fur his highness, and the yearly sum of £lOO,OOO was settled on him; in case he should survive the queen. "And this was • seconded," says Burnet, "by those who knew how accept able the motion would be to the queen, though it was double of what any queen of England ever had in jointure, so that it passed without opposition." We humbly conceive the con stitutional doctrine to be, that, by whatever name the con sort of a queen regnant be called, he is only a subject, and h as , as we conceive, no peculiar privileges. lf he be created a peer of parliament, he would, of course, be privileged as such, or he may enjoy any rank or any station in the public . service expressly conferred on him_ by the sovereign ; but, unless so conferred, he does not appear to have any recog nised rights by the common law, such as the queen consort has, for instance. The present King of Belgium, on his marriage with.the Princess Charlotte, may be considered as standing in nearly the same situation as the consort of a queen. We believe be declined a peerage, and merely took the rank in the table of precedency and in the army expressly conferred on him. .We conceive, therefore, that we have now shewn the correct rule to be, that the husband of a queen regnant of England, by whatever name he be called, king or prince, is a subject; that no allegiance is due to him; that no treason, without au express act of parliament for that purpose, can be committed towards him ; and that, as it would seem, he has no acknowledged rank or privileges but what are expressly conferred on bim.—Legal Observer.

Of foreign pro. duce the imports consist of 6,120 qrs. of Wheat, 240 qrs. of Oats, 00 qrs. of Barley; 2300 qrs. of Beans, and 2700 brls. of noun Duties have been paid, during the same period, ou 80 qrs. of Wheat, 740 qrs. of Barley, 2120 qrs. of Beans, 509 qrs. of Peas, and 1360 brls. of Flour. Through .iut the week the corn trade, generally, has been inactive : this may, in a great measure, however, be at tributed to the intervention of the holydays, and holders have not shown any disposition to press sales, prices, consequently, have undergone little or no change. Wheat, yesterday, was held for Tuesday's prices ; and the best Irish Oats were not offering under as 11d, fair runs 3s 9d to 3s 10d per 451bs. ; Oatmeal aLs to 36s per 451bs. The quantity of sack Flour, on the market is small, fine English manufacture has brought 60s to 635, whilst Irish, from its generally unsound quality, has been very difficult to move, the quo tations for it are from 46s to 57s per sack. American has sold at 42s 6d to 435 6d, and Danzic at 42s to 43s per brl. Malting Barley has met a fair sale at 45s to 48s ; Foreign grinding has gone off at 5s ad to 5s ad per 601 b.: the latter price paid for a small parcel of French. Irish may be quoted at 4s ad to 4s 8d per bulbs. The Yeleased foreign Beans have found a pretty free vend : they have consisted chiefly of French, which have sold at 46s to 47s per 4801b5.; English have brought 505 to 520 per qr. ; mid Irish 43s to 458 per 4801bs.
