oet p. A POET'S DREAMINGS. BY MRS. CORNWELL BARON WILSON What arc the yearnings of the poet's soul ? Thoughts undefined, that cannot be expressed ; Like ruby bubbles in the revel bowl, That dance awhile in light—then sink to rest; Like sunny rays, that float upon the stream, Then melt into the shades of twilight's sober beam ! What are the dreams, the aspirations wild, That fill the poet's vision? Phantoms nursed By Hope, ne'er to be realised ; beguiled By all that Hope makes beautiful, at first They dawn like early morn upon the mi n d, Pale, dim, and indistinct—unformed and undefined Then they resolve themselves into the shapes Of some reality; the glowing mind A temple for its worshipped idol makes In earthly form ; and there it holds enshrined All the fond, dreaming hopes that fancy rears, And garners up each thing that beautiful appears. Sometimes, in Friendship's form, the poet builds The fragile structure of his happiness ; Sometimes beneath Love's wing, whose balm distils The honied drop, life's bitter cup to bless ; In shapes more varied than life's changing beam, He strives to clasp on earth what is but fancy's dream ! Ah ! vain the hope o'er mortal things to fling The golden hues that tint the poet's mind ; ,To all, alas ! the shade of earth will cling ; Nor can he realise those dreams refined, That live but in the phantoms of the brain ; So, like the o'er-wearied bird, his wings seek earth again Too wild, too bright, too beautiful for earth, Is his ideal world ; then comes the wreck Of Fancy's fabric—thoughts that had their birth In those bright reveries, when Hope could deck Life's glowing path with flowers, all leave him now, And sombre sadness sits, throned on his pallid brow ! Such fate has Fancy's worshipper : thrice blessed Are they who in the beaten track of life Plod on their weary pilgrimage ; their breast Knows not the sighs with which his heart is rife, Who sees the world through Fancy's magic shade, And wakes too late to find the shipwreck he has made. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. REPEAL OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. (From the Brighton Gazette.) It has become a question demanding the deep con sideration of this country—How far are we justi fied in suffering the Roman Catholic Relief Bill to re main on the statute book, now that it has proved a complete failure as regards all the ends for which it was passed ? Its object was to unite Roman Catholics more closely with those who refuse to yield subjection to the Pope of Rome—a very good thing, no one will deny. But where is the happy result to be looked for ? Between these Charity, it was contemplated, would step in, and, like a Roman: cement, would out of them form one solid community, which no foreign enemy would ever be able to shake, and which would create a security against all those internal commotions, that are sometimes of a fatal tendency to the welfare of a state as any foreign aggression. Let Ireland speak to this point. Instead of charity, there has grown up a feeling the very reverse. If the Protestant, by his religion, is not at liberty to entertain the same feeling towards the Romanist, which the Romanist may towards the Protestant (and may, too, in perfect consistency with the tenets of Trent, which his Church has received as a supplement of the Faith,) he may still be led by a variety of circumstances to kindle into anger or jealousy against an opposing system. This has been the case. The Roman Catholic Relief Act aroused all the dormant enmity of Rome towards the Church of England ; and there have not been wanting fanatical and designing men to encourage this feeling in its growth, and spread among the people who be long to the Romish Community throughout the coun try. The Protestants have seen this, and in their turn could not fail to form other views of Romanists and Romanism, than they had formed prior to the passing of the Act. With the change of their views came, as was both natural and just, a change of their feeling; and the end has been that, between two causes, the ground which before lay between the two communi ties has become wider and wider, till at last all hope of consolidation would seem ,to be extinguished for ever. Another class of advocates of the measure argued that Romanism had altogether changed its ancient cha racter. The light of knowledge, it was said, had shone upon its darker features, as well as upon other things ; and it was foolish to dread a repetition of those acts of intolerance and persecition, which had been before connected with it in the later stages of its history in this kingdom. The good and charitable-hearted portion of Englishmen were willing to take this agreeable as pect of the matter, upon the credit of those who pre sented it to them, without any other proof that they were right in doing so. The few,—such as Lord Eldon, Bishop Van Mildert, and Dr. Philpotts, the (then) Rector of Stanhope,—spoke, and wrote, and opposed in vain. Their fears, they were informed, had no foundation. Roman Catholics were as much interested in the prosperity of the empire, as Churchmen could be. It was cruel and unjust, therefore, to retain the chains and fetters, with which the prudence or, it might be, the necessities of former monarchs and par liaments had bound them. Lord Elden's arguments, and entreaties, and deprecations were received as the words of expiring dotage ; Dr. Van Mildert's as bigotry and uncharitableness ; Dr. Philpotts' were read, ad mired, acknowledged to be unanswerable, and disre garded. Nothing was allowed to stop a measure in favour of a few millions of subjects, now that they had renounced (under the force of modern enlightenment) all that was alarming to Protestants, or objectionable in their belief and practice. The republication of Peter Dens,—the late canonization of a Jesuit,—the massa cres which are every day committed in Ireland upon the members of the Church—the principles of the various recent Romish Societies,—the conduct of the priesthood,—and divers other things, may fairly be left to show whether or not Popery has changed its na ture, or whether it has given up one inch of its domi neering pretensions. Others thought that much good would result from the circumstance that the Act would place both Ro manists and Protestants upon an equality, which could not but produce mutual kindness between them. The very idea of such an intercourse as it was supposed would follow, leading to the conversion of Protestants to the Church of Rome, was scouted as deserving the utmost ridicule. Time, hoe ever, has shewn that the ridicule belongs to those, who were so foolish as to believe that it would operate in the contrary way. Then came a fourth description of reasoners (among whom Dr. Chalmers takes his stand,) who urged the measure because the effect it must necessarily have would be to make the garrison, as he denominated by figure the Protestant Church, more vigilant of the foe, after they had admitted him within their gates. That great man, like many others who were led by this sophistical argument, overlooked the simple fact that there must he the danger, before there could or would be the produced vigilance. It was also overlooked by them, that the danger might possibly be an over-match for the vigilance; that the foe instead might have re course to other enemies who were still to be kept with out, who would on that account be most ready to assist in reducing that strength which they regarded with jealousy and aversion. Thus, in every po i nt, t h e Act has disappointed the wishes of those who advocated it on good and patriotic grounds : it has not begot a better, but a worse under standing between Romanists and Churchmen. It has not led to any improvement o f P opery i tself. The rancour of a Papalist is as bitter as ever. His whole spirit and aim are the same. M o d ern P opery does not disavow its object, but boldly, by a variety of organs, declares its unalterable purpose to be the uprooting of heresy, which is the name it gives to the Church of England. The said Act, again, has not satisfied the Romanists with regard to the equality upon which it was alleged that it would be felt to have placed them. The Lord Chancellor must still be Protestant ; which provision is offensive to Air. O'Connell, and must be abolished next Session. That gained, the next matter of complaint will be the coronation oath, which com pels the Sovereign to be a Protestant—to be of the re ligion which only comprehends a part of her subjects; a grievance this which never can be borne. Lastly, the danger to which it has exposed the Church and State has not according to the reasoning of Dr. Chalmers and his party, produced such a counteracting vigilance as would redound to the stability of the established religion of this country. Now these are not our conclusions, but the conclu sions of every man, of every rank and denomination, in the present day, who knows any thing of public matters. The question, then, with which we started is,—Are we, in the face of these facts, to remain in a recumbent posture, till Popery has re-established its full power amongst us ? No sooner, in general, is the evil working of any statute perceived, than we have some one demanding alteration and amendment— some "liberal" statesman who cannot suffer a law to continue, which produces results the very reverse of what was intended by its framers. Yet nothing of this sort has hitherto appeared in regard to the Relief Bill. And it is because if has worked so well for the country, that no alteration is needed ? This no one can say. If ever an act went contrary to all the pre dictions and expectations of its advocates, it is the Act in question. What, then, is to be, or should be done ? If we allow things to go on, speedy ruin -must he the consequence. There is, therefore, but one course of safety for us to take ; and that is the repeal of the evil measure. This step may be postponed from lack of courage to carry it into execution; but come it must, unless we are prepared to see the days Of Mary re-acted, and the British nation again paying homage to the Pope of Rome. MANCHESTER OPERATIVE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. —The first anniversary of this association is announced to take place on Tuesday evening next. The Rev. T. D. Gregg, of Dublin, is especially invited for the occasion ; and it is ex pected that several clergymen and gentlemen will take part in the proceedings. We understand that this association has been formed about twelve months, and has done much to counteract the progress of popery in this neighbourhood.— Manchester Courier. A new Methodist Chapel is about to be erected in Peel, mach larger than the present chapel in that town. To for ward the undertaking a considerable contribution has been sent from Manchester, and several of the inhabitants have subscribed liberally.—Manx Liberal. DREADFUL MURDER AT KEIGHLEY From the Halax .) This retired t own, whose n a me is Guar little heard of in the dark records of crime, seated as it is on the far verge of the clothing district, and at the foot of the wild Appenine of England, was on Wednesday night roused from its quietude by the report of murder—of murder not such as prompts the night-haunting bandit, nor such as excites even friend against friend, but of the darkest and earliest character, brother against brother, when the nearest and dearest family ties are severed, and the once-happy home is desolated by a double calamity. This report, at first doubted, proved unfortunately to be too true, that a young woman had been murdered by her brother, and in her father's house, her home. The cir cumstances of this unhappy affair, which we have endea voured to obtain as correctly as possible, we will endeavour to lay before the reader. James Burton, who is a shoemaker, has hitherto occupied a dwelling in King-street. He has been a widower some years, having residing with him a son about thirty years of age, and a daughter about twenty-five. The son, whose name is Charles, followed his father's occupation, and worked in the house. He has not continuously resided at home, but at times has been in the habit of seeking work in other places. He has also at times been far from cheerful in his disposi tion, and has often been thought not perfectly composmentis by neighbours and friends. The unfortunate sister, whose name was Elizabeth, generally called Betty, is represented to us as a remarkably fine girl in person, and distinguished for neatness and cleanliness ; with an amiable and unassu ming disposition, whose chief pleasure seemed to be in the innocent exercise of domestic occupation. It has been the habit of the father to take his pipe in the evening to a neighbour's house, and pass in quiet converse the interval before bed-time. The old and now truly un happy father, having finished his day's work, went out as usual about 8 P.m. He took his pipe with him and repaired to a neighbour's house. He was not observed to be in any way different in manner from his usual habit. He left his son engaged at his work when he last saw his daughter Eli zabeth alive. One informant tells us that the son has been labouring under depression of spirits for more than two years, the cause of which is not accounted for, and that he was a steady, sober man, and of a quiet disposition. Ano ther imagines that he was much hurt and incensed at the neglect of the sister with respect to the binding of a pair of shoes, which he wanted done at a particular time. When the father left home there were no other inmates besides his unhappy son and daughter. What occurred before the murder was committed, and after the father's departure, is totally unknown. The interval between his departure and the murder was exceedingly short. We are informed, however, that Elizabeth was busy in brewing, and cleaning the house, and that five minutes before the catas trophe was discovered she entered a neighbour's house, to tell them to fetch away the grains. One report states that she was called up stairs by her brother, and that immediately afterwards a violent scream was heard followed by a smo thered shriek and scuffling. This was about eight o'clock, according to one informant. Another statement goes to assert, that no noise, no scream, no scuffling was heard ; that the dark deed was perpetrated instantaneously, and that the murderer departed unseen and silently from the house. According to the former report it is stated that after the scream several parties entered the house, among whom was a young girl, who first saw the body. By one party it is reported that the brother was found by her, hanging over the prostrate corpse, and wringing his hands in silent agony. That he suddenly started from his stupor, and rushed past the alarmed neighbours with much violence. The murder took place, it appears, above stairs, and the body was found on the floor with the head nearly severed from it. The unfortunate girl was lying on her side, and from the fact of her hands being much cut and disfigured, it is imagined that she struggled very much before the murderer effected his ;purpose; that she had made as desperate a re sistance as was in her power; and that she had parted with her life as from a thing that was dear to her. Two knives, such as shoemakers use, were found near to the body, according to account. They were both covered with the blood of the unfortunate girl. It is said that life was quite extinct when she was found ; that no sign of mo tion was detected by the most anxious eye. The father's condition may be more easily imagined than described ; his grief, his agony, was too deep for utterance, seeing that his domestic happiness was blasted in an hour, and, coming like a sudden and calamitous shock, when most unexpected. In the meantime, while consternation was spreading through the town, and everybody hurrying to the dismal scene of sorrow, it was found that the murderer had disappeared. While, however, immediate and active pursuit was suggested, he returned to the house, and asked what was the matter! One statement is, that he came up and called for Tom Pickles, the constable. However, on its being said " Thou's killed thy sister," he replied, " Nay, nay, it was the devil killed her—it was the devil, he told me to do it—he tempted me, I could'nt help it." Then afterwards he acknowledged the murder, and added " That his sister was quite fit for heaven—was ready for heaven, and that he was sure of the other place, and that the devil was ready for him." We are told that after he was placed in the lock-up, he never spoke ; that when they inquired if he was hungry, he made no answer ; that the same silence was observed the next morning. When he was asked how he had slept, he made no reply. It is said that the family are in easy circumstances, that no domestic deprivation invaded their little circle, an d that they have not bees engaged in any of those painful subjects of agitation which have too much of late disturbed the minds of the industrious classes, withdrawn industry from the fire-side, and heaped ineffectual sorrow upon sorrow. The catastrophe has, however, caused in Keighley the most pain ful excitement, and will, no doubt, continue for some time to press heavily on the feelings of the kind-hearted and com passionate. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The young woman was a member of the Wesleyan Me thodist Society, and was considered very pious and well conducted. The discovery was made by a boy calling to get measured for a pair of shoes, and receiving no answe r , h e went into the next house, and there found the father, who returned with him, and thus discovered the murder. The murderer at first hid himself behind a wall, and afterwards gave himself up without resistance.—Bradford Observer. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.--We have nothing material to note in the state of the woollen trade of this district. Business continues languid, and scarcely exhibits any improvement upon that of last week. The supply of goods in the Cloth Hall is unusually small. It is not a little remarkable that last year at this time, when the price of corn was rising, trade was good and work plentiful, but that during the past month, in which the price of corn has fallen rapidly, the demand for manufactures has greatly declined, and a great number of workmen have fallen out of employ.—Leeds Intelligencer. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods was un commonly flat on Thursday. The number of hands out of employ increases ; unfortunately for the manufacturers. The prices of goods again declined; and circumstances are such as to render it imperatively incumbent on the growers and woolstaplers to part with their wool on easier terms; even although they may be able to hold their stock.—Bid. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov I.—The state of the long wool trade is this week very similar to that reported in our last ; the market continues to be barely supplied, and notwithstanding the very limited demand, five shillings per pack advance on some sorts can be obtained. Blanket and fine clothing wools are without alteration.—Thid. HECKMONDWICKE.—The demand for blankets at this market has been for the last two or three weeks of a very limited nature. Perhaps a cold winter may increase the de mand, otherwise there appears but a poor chance of work for the small manufacturers.—Bid. BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—Business remains moderately steady, with a fair demand. The drill houses are working long hours.—lbid. SADDLEWORTH.—The woollen cloth trade here, has not been in so depressed a state for the last tea years, owing, principally, to the late seizures in America. Many of the operatives have not half work, and others are wholly unem ployed.—lbid. LEICESTER.—The demand for goods continues very dull for the season. The country trade is better than the Lon don and foreign ; but those houses which manufacture solely for those markets feel the pressure of the times exceedingly, and are turning off workmen. On the whole, the prospects for the winter trade are very gloomy. The wool market continues extraordinarily firm amidst all these depressing causes. The spinners are in some cases working short time. Leicester Chronicle. STOCKPORT.—The cotton trade being in so deplorable a state of depiession, it is in contemplation amongst the ma nufacturers here, to work only eight hours per day during the winter months.—Stockport Advertiser. BIRMINGHAM.—Trade still continues depressed • and great anxiety is felt for the conditi on o f t h e working Classes during the winter. Several manufactories have been put on half time, and others are on the point of discharging their men.—Birmingham Times. PRESTON.—Trade in this townis in a most depressed state. The spinners say that it has reached the lowest point which has been experienced for some time past, and in numerous cases operations are being carried forward at a positive loss. The condition of certain portions of the operative commu nity is extremely distressing.—Presion Chronicle. FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. MORNING DRESS.—The dress is a half pelisse robe of dark blue satin, the corsage high behind, but opening in the heart style on the bosom, is trimmed with a falling collar, and lappels of velvet to correspond.

DEATH OF LORD GEORGE BERESFORD.-It is with sin cere regret we record the demise of the Right Hou. Lord George Thomas Beresford, G.C.H., brother to his Grace the Lord Primate of all Ireland, and uncle to the Marquis of Waterford, which melancholy event took place on Saturday morning, at the Palace, Armagh. His Lordship was a Ma jor -General in the army—and by his death a vacancy occurs in the colonelcy of the 3rd or K. 0. Light Dragoons—and also in that of the Waterford Militia. His Lordship was custos rotulorum of the county of Waterford, which lie re presented for many years in parliament. Lord Geo. Beres ford was Comptroller of the Household during the reign of His Majesty George IV., and was distinguished f o r ever y good quality that could aorn human nature, and endear him to society.—Tipperary Constitution. ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE OPERATIVE CONSER VATIVE ASSOCIATION. The fourth anniversary dinner of this flourishing associa tion took place on Wednesday last, at the Commercial Hotel, Ashton. For some days previously, there had been a great demand for tickets, and although every exertion was made to accommodate as large a number as possible, the demand was so great that 200 or 300 tickets might have been issued beyond the number to which the stewards felt compelled to restrict it. The dinner took place in the large room of the Commercial, which is capable of accommodating about 180 persons. Tables were spread in an adjoining room for other 60 or 70; the total number of persons who sat down being about 250. The decorations of the room were of the most superb style. The upper end, and the whole length of each side was festooned with white drapery, surmounted by ever greens and artificial flowers. On the side next the window, the elegant banner presented to the association in 1836, by the ladies of Ashton, was displayed, and covered a great portion of the wall, from the floor to the ceiling. This beautiful banner is divided into four compartments •, in two of which various devices are emblazoned, including the arms of the Earl of Stamford; in the third, is the representation of the crown, the sceptre, and the bible, surmounted by the inscription,—" For God. the King, and the country ;" on the fourth is the i nscr ipti on ,—" P resen t e d b y the ladies of Ashton-under-Lyne, to the Operative Conservative Asso ciation of that town, on the queen's birth-day, '1836." The six large windows on the opposite side of the room were de corated with evergreens, and the window above ,the chair man's seat was beautifully festooned, and surmounted by two small flags. The front of the gallery at the foot of the room was studded with flowers and evergreens ; and the three elegant chandeliers were similarly adorned. A bril liant flood of light was thrown all over the room, by the numerous and fanciful arrangements of gas burners. At the head, the letters V.R. stood prominent on each side of the chair, and at the other end, there were two brilliant circles of gas, divided into eight sectors by radii and rounded arcs. Altogether, the decorations were of the most elegant de scription, and the effect produced was extremely pleasing. Two long tables extended the length of the room, and were crossed by a raised table at the head, at which sat the prin cipal guests. The chair was filled by E. L. Sidebotham, Esq. Shepley Hall; on his right were J. Roby, Esq., of Rochdale, Capt. Clarke, of Hyde, and Major Maclean, of the 20th regiment; on his left were Colonel Thomas, M.P., and Captain Ainslie. A mongs t t h e company, we also ob served John Brook, Esq., Staley Bridge, John Sidebotham, Esq., of Hyde, Legh Richmond, Esq., High Steward to the Earl of Stamford, A. Adshead, Esq., Staley Bridge, John Mellor, Esq., Wm. Chapman, Esq., John Lees, Esq., Staley Bridge, Ed. Sidebotham, Esq., Staley Bridge, John Armstrong, Esq., James Higginbottam, Edwd. Appleton, Esq., of Staley B r id ge . Th ere were also present, Lieut. Brook, Capt. Horn, Lieutenant Sharpe, and Capt. Murray, all of the 20th regiment, A few minutes before six, the Chairman and the distinguished guests entered the room, and were saluted by one hearty round of cheers. The Vice- Presidents were Thomas Slack, Esq., and Mr. Joshua Lin gard, of Ashton. Sir F. Burdett was fully expected to be present, but owing probably to illness, he was prevented from attending. The dinner comprised a great variety of tasteful and sub stantial dishes, embracing a great quantity of game. It was served up in a style highly creditable to Mrs. Newton, the proprietress of the Commercial Hotel. The wines were of first-rate quality. A party of glee-singers, consisting of Messrs. Grimshaw, (of Manchester), Newton, Brierly, and Newton, were in attendance, and at intervals favoured the company with some lively airs. Several very eloquent speeches were delivered during the evening. —Manchester Courier. LADY LYTTON BULWER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST 30, bis, Rue de Rivoli, Paris, Oct. Sir,—Disagreeable as it is to me to have my name dragged before the public, it is something more than disagreeable to have my life lied away. All other injuries as a woman I have been compelled to submit to ; but, for my children's sake, I will not tamely submit to be grossly vilified and defamed in newspapers. In one of your journals of last week there was a paragraph from your Paris correspondent purporting to be a description of a scene that had taken place at Lady Ayl mer's, wherein I was described in acting like a poissarde towards Mr. Henry Lytton Bulwer. Now, I have no doubt you will be as much surprised (as I was to see such a false hood in your very respectable journal) when I tell you that no such scene ever took place, inasmuch as Mr. Henry Bul wer was not, nor ever has been, at Lady Aylmer's since I have been at Paris, as her Ladyship, with great delicacy of feeling, avoided asking him on my account, though I can have no possible objection to meet any member of the Bul wer family, I never having injured them, however much they may have inju re d me . I k now it is their object, if possible, to hunt me from society ; but surely they might resort to more honourable and gentlemanlike stratagems than that of propagating gross falsehoods of me through the medium of the public press. When the above alluded to paragraph appeared in the Morning Post, I was advised by all my friends here to take no notice of so palpable a mis statement ; but having this day received letters from England, telling me that it had been repeated more violently, and with greater exaggerations, in the Court Journal of the 19th, I am compelled to call upon you to publish this contradiction of so cruel a calumny in the columns of your next paper, which I am sure is conducted on principles of too much jus tice to wilfully contribute to the unmanly oppression of a persecuted woman. Knowing, as I do, the contemptible source from which the Court Journal got its malicious false hoods, I cannot degrade myself by thinking it worth while to contradict anything it may, in the plenitude of its in sanity, think fit to pander to the profligate, and amuse the public with. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, ROSINA LYTTON 13ULWER. P.S. I think it further right to state that I have never yet met Mr. Henry Bulwer in any society in Paris, so could not ever have had an opportunity of acting as described. COLONEL PASLEY'S OPERATIONS AGAINST THE ROYAL GEORGE. (From the Morning Herald.) The strong tides, co-operating with the unsettled weather of last week, have materially interfered with the successful progress of these interesting operations. Nevertheless, some thing has been done almost every day. A huge breast hook, large fragments of timbers, much planking, both interior and exterior, aiders, knees, and various other items, have been daily fished up, and now form a high pile in the dockyard. No more guns, however, have been lately got hold of, but on Tuesday last a few human bones were found, and near them a silk handkerchief, of a rusty black colour, and not rotten, but still strong enough to bear being washed ! This conservative power of mud, or clay, has also been most curiously exemplified in the case of vegetable fibre, by a portion of a cable lately brought up from the wreck of the Royal George. A length of junk, as it is called, consisting of a piece of a cable 23 inches in circumference and about 8 feet long, was recovered, and being unlaid, and the yarns taken out, they were found to be so good that a short piece of one of them bore a weight of 1931b5, and broke only with' a weight of 1951b5. The following very curious experiment was then tried : A piece of cablet, or rope, measuring two inches and a half in circumference, was made out of the yarns from one of the strands taken from the old junk of the Royal George, and marked No. .1 ; another cablet, also of two inches and a half, and twenty-thread yarn, spun and tarred in 1838, was made, No. 2 ; and a third, of the same dimensions and number of yarns, spun and tarred according to the old method, in 1830, No. 3. These three cablets were then exposed to the usual test of strength by weights in the dockyard, when, to the great astonishment of every one, the following were the re sults : No. 1. Made from the old junk saved from the Royal George, after being 57 years under. the mud, bore a weight of No. 2. Spun and tarred in 1838 No. 3. Spun and tarred in 1830 cw•t. q. ib 'NTELLECTUAL RESOURCES OF LONDON, There are in the metropolis no less than 41 societies de voted to scientific, literary, and collateral pursuits, meeting periodically during the session, which, with the great majority, commences in November and terminates in June, and these distinct from the literary and scientific institutions, of which there is oae in every considerable district. The Royal Society, the parent of the whole, founded in 1663, extends to every department of natural knowledge, but so numerous are the ramifications which have sprung from it that its attention is now restricted to the more abstract departments of each. For the study of antiquities there are two—the Society of Antiquaries, founded in 1717, for the study of antiquities of this kingdom; and the Numismatic Society, a flourishing association, which, as its name imports, is con fined to coins and medals. For natural history there are eight ;—The Linnrean Society, alike for the objects of botanical and zoological investigation ; in zoology two, the Zoological and Entomological Societies ; and for horticulture and botany five—viz., the Horticultural, Royal Botanic, Metropolitan, and Botanical Societies, and the Royal Society of Horticul ture, four of which hold periodic public exhibitions. For astronomy there are two—viz., the Royal Astronomical and the Uranian Societies ; and for objects of peculiar or specific investigation there are the Mathematical, Metropological, and Electrical Societies. The Society of Arts, which stands alone prominent for the encouragement of the useful arts, was founded in 1754, an d o bj ects formerly embraced specially by it are now comprehended in the more exclusive exertions of the institutes of British Architects and Civil Engineers, and the Architectural Society. The Geographical and the Geological Societies are, as their names import, addressed to the study of the external characteristics and the structure of the earth. One body only, the Royal Society of Litera ture, is exclusively devoted to objects of literary research ; the Royal Asiatic Society takes the wide and extensive range of the science, language, and literature of the eastern con tinent ; and the Statistical Society, dealing with facts, em braces the details of all science where numbers are concerned. At the Royal, London, and United Service Institutions the lectures and convereaziones are of a miscellaneous character, taking the wide range of literature and science. The English Agricultural Society, having also scientific objects, meets periodically in London ; and the Camden Society may be added to the list, as, although it does not hold periodic meet ings, it advances literature by the choiceness of its publica tions. Devoted to the reading of papers and to practical discussions on medical subjects there are eight—viz., the Medico-Chirurgical, the London and the Westminster, Medical, the Physical, Hunterian, Harveyian, Phrenological, and Medico-Botanical Societies. There are also three societies devoted to conversation on the fine arts—viz., the Graphic, the Amateurs, and the Artists' Societies. The total numbers of meeting occupied by these societies, dis tributed over the session o f 35 wee k s, is 623, making the average of 18 in a week, or three each evening. The number of members in the last session is estimated as about 17,000, but the names of many of these are enrolled in more societies than one. The total amount of the incomes or the sums raised last year for scientific objects was nearly £41,000, and the funded properties possessed by these societies, estimated last June, was £81,500. Only four —viz., the Royal, Antiquarian, Geological, and Astronomical Societies, receive aid from government in public ac commo d at i on ; and one only, the Geographi ca l Society, 'is assisted by grants from the same source, in the furtherance of its objects. There are 12 Mechanic Literary and Scientific Institutions in the im mediate circle of the metropolis, which average 4,500 mem bers, and an income of £7,500. Unaided, therefore, by government, the total annual amount raised for the diffusion of literary and scientific knowledge in the metropolis may be estimated at little less than X 50,000, in addition to the interests derived from an invested property of about £BO,OOO. — Morning Herald. THE ROYAL GEORGE.—On Wednesday last, the 30th ult. a gentleman of the name of Vansittart descended to the spot where the Royal George is now lying. He describes the wreck to be enveloped in entire darkness, and to be com pletely imbedded in mud. This account fully corroborates the statements of the divers ; and it is to be hoped that some means may be suggested by which light could be diffused be low. It is true that Mr. Vansittart descended when the waves on the surface of the sea were undulating to a height of 30 or 40 feet, and it could not, therefore, be expected that he would see much under such circumstances. But the divers assert, that even on the brightest days of summer, when the sea is perfectly calm, they can scarcely see an inch before them. Lanterns have been tried, but to no purpose. A vast expense would be saved, not only as respects the Royal George, but also with reference to future wrecks, if some means could be devised for introducing the light required.—Times, SELECT EXTRACTS. THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH.—It was her temper that involved her in lawsuits with her own children. Her eldest grandson, Robert Earl of Sutherland,' died before he had forfeited her favour. Charles was no sooner elevated to his father's dignity, than she openly quarrelled with, and in the Court of Chancery pleaded her own cause against him. She accused him of pawning one by one the diamonds in the famous Baldric of the great Marlborough's sword, and his extravagance gave point to the charge : yet John, her young est grandson, who was no less profligate, retained her favour in the midst of his excesses. Her grand-daughter, Lady Anne Egerton, was as proud as the Duchess herself, and no less fiery ; on some quarrel between them, the Duchess of Marlborough had Lady Anne's picture daubed with black, and over it this inscription—" She is much blacker within?' With her the ruling passion was strong even against death. About four years before her demise, the Duchess was at tacked by a dangerous disease, and had lain a great while ill, without speaking : her physician, believing her case very bad, said " she must be blistered or she will die." Her Grace, who had listened with attention, called out " I wont be blistered, and I wont die !" She kept her word.— Coun tess of Huntingdon's Life and Times, 2 cols. THE GOAT IN NORWAY AND IN SOUTH AFRICA.--Two recent travellers, in opposite quarters of the globe, thus speak of the value to man of this most economical animal. Mr. Laing (" Journal of a Residence in Norway ") ob serves :—" Goats seem a favourite kind of stock in Norway, and on every farm they appear touch more numerous than sheep. The hills have no pasture for the latter, no heath or rough grass ; what is not bare rock is bush or tree. The goat will eat and thrive on the shoots of the dwarf birch, beech, and young fir ' • the sheep w ill no t , an d i n w i nter i t requires some hay. The goat then gets a bundle of dried leaves and shoots of the beach, which cost only the trouble of collecting. and drying them. Every farm house at this season (August) is surrounded with bundles of these withered branches and leaves-of beech tied together, and stuck upon poles to dry. The goat, too, gives some milk in winter, when that of cows is scarce, and that little may bear to be increased with water better than any other milk." Sir James Alexander, who undertook an expedition into the interior of Africa on account of the Geographical Society, says—" To an African traveller goats are invaluable ; they can accom modate him everywhere, and live where cattle would pine away and die ; though the cattle of South Africa are surely the most .hardy and enduring in the world. They eat the tops of many bushes, but not so many as the goats, each of which gives nearly as much milk as a Namaqua cow, and of much richer quality. The milk I obtained from my four or five milch goats (though at times, when we were hard pressed for water, it only amounted to a pint, morning and evening, amongst them) was a source of great comfort and support." Mr. Laing says—" There is a right way to do everything ; even, it seems, to milk a goat. You should turn its head towards you, put your left arm over its • back, and milk it with both hands in that position." THE RAILWAY LABOURER.—The navigator appears to belong to no country ; he wanders from one public work to another,—now alone, then with a party of two or three ; and as long as he has sixpence in his pocket seems content, hut sets so little value on the earnings of his slavish em ployment as never to be at ease unless in squandering then], although well paid for his labour; go where he will he finds some of his comrades whom he has met in some part of England before, and makes inquiries as to their Mode of liv ing, the wages they were paid since they last met, &c. His attire is peculiar ; on his head he wears a kind of white felt hat, the brim of which is turned up all round, and generally a tobacco pipe is stuck in the band, which is of some glaring colour ; a velveteen shooting jacket with white buttons, a scarlet plush waistcoat of large dimensions, with little black spots on it, sometimes a bright coloured neckerchief round his neck, and sometimes nothing at all: inexpressibles of corduroy retained in their position by a leather strap round the waist, and tied and buttoned at the knee ; sometimes white stockings or grey worsted encirling most robust knees, and high-laced boots of strong build, complete his dress. His "dicky" - or small smock frock, is slung, when he travels, at his back, and by the arms in front ; in this be carries what ever else he has in the world, except the clothes he wears. In some things he makes an attempt at taste—in the dressing of the hair, by wearing one or more ringlets on each side of his face, upon which great value is placed. He knows no other pleasure or domestic comfort than is afforded in a public house or beer-shop, brawling or drinking with his companions after the toils of the day.—Gloucestershire Chronicle. THE LUNAR SOCIETY. —WATT AND THE COPYING PRESS.—Birmingham, when Mr. Watt went to establish himself at Soho, reckoned among the inhabitants' of the neighbourhood, Priestley, whose name is universally known ; Darwin, the celebrated author of the Zoonomia, and of a poem " The Loves of the Plants ;" Withering, a physician and distinguished botanist; Keir, a chemist, well known by the notes appended to his translation of Macquer, and by an interesting memoir on the crystallization of glass ; Galton, to whom we are indebted for an elementary treatise on ornithology ; and Edgeworth, the author of several esteemed works, and father of the celebrated Maria Edgeworth. These scientific and literary men speedily became the friends of the distinguished mechanist, and most of them united in forming with him and Mr. Boulton, an association under the name of " The Lunar Society." This fantastic title has given rise to various mistakes; but it imported nothing more than that the night of meeting was that of the full moon, a time selected in order that the members might comfortably reach their several homes. Every meeting of the Lunar Society gave fresh occasion to remark the uncommon fertility of inven tion with which Watt was endowed. " I have thought," observed Dr.. Darwin one evening, " of a kind of double pen, a pen with two points, by which one might write the same thing twice over at the same time, and thus supply himself at once with the original and with the copy."—` I hope," replied Watt, almost immediately, "to discover a better method for accomplishing the same object. I will mature my ideas to night, and communicate them to you to morrow." The Copying Press was invented the next day ; and even a small model was prepared, ready to show its powers. This most useful instrument, now so generally adopted in all the offices and counting-rooms in England, has recently received some slight modifications, of which various artists have assumed the credit to themselves • but I can truly affirm, th a t th e presen t f orm was described and delineated as early as the year 1780, in the patent of our associate.—Arayo's Memoir of Watt. THOUGHTS ON A NEW YEAR'S. DAY.—How painful is it to reflect on the breaches which the departed year has made in the friendly, if not in the family circle 1 He must have a limited number of friends, indeed, who can say he has lost none of them during the year which has followed its prede cessors into the eternity that is past. If there should be a few hermits or misanthropes in the world who have no friends to lose, there are thousands and tens of thousands of others, from whom, during the lapse of the past twelve months, many of those they affectionately regarded, have been snatched away by the hand of death. And what can more deeply wound the susceptible heart, than the loss of those it highly prized, and with whom it held delightful companionship ? Nothing surely. The annals of human nature furnish us with count less instances of individuals whose minds were so powerfully affected at their separation by death from those they loved, that they did not long survive the shock, but followed them in a few months, in some cases in a few weeks, to the man sions of mortality. It were strange indeed if man, with all his rationality and all his lofty conceptions of what he ought to be, did not feel acutely while ruminating on the departure to another world of those he loved and esteemed in the pre sent, when the more savage of the'brute creation set him the example. The instances are innumerable in which the lower animals, of almost every species, suffer so severely when de prived of their offspring, or when separated from others of their kind with which they were wont to associate, as to die very soon thereafter under the influence of feelings similar to those which break the human heart. A melancholy recollec tion of those departed ones whom we once numbered among our friends will frequently obtrude' itself on the minds of those addicted to habits of reflection, and possessing in their bosom a drop of the milk of human kindness ; but the com mencement of a new year is a season peculiarly adapted, for many reasons, for feeling those melancholy emotions with peculiar force.—Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literature. by the Author of " The Great Metropolis." UTILITY OF STONEY. — Philosopher s may reason, and di vines may declaim as much as they please respecting the vanity and worthlessness of money • I must take the lib er ty of differing from them. Abstractly speaking, I admit the circulating medium is despicable enough; but though this be true, and though, I hope, I am the last man in the world that would do any dishonourable action to gain money, yet it is not to be denied that it is a remarkably useful commo dity. It is a necessary evil ; it smooths the rugged path of life ; it enables a man to walk the public thoroughfares more consequentially ; to hold his head more erect in society than he could otherwise do ; in a word, money works miracles.— Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literature by the Author of " The Great Metropolis." A BANK IN CAlRO.—After the siesta, the viceroy trans acted the usual daily business with Tami Bey, and opened the despatches of the first courier, of whom two are sent off to him every day, one from Alexandria, and one from Cairo. He sent for me as soon as their affairs were settled. "Do you know," said he as I entered, " I have just been issuing a decree for a bank in Cairo, for the capital of which I have advanced a million of Spanish dollars; and to this fund I mean to add all the property reserved for my children still under age. This bank will, according to the custom of the country, lend money at twelve per cent., and pay ten per cent. for sums borrowed. I hope soon to witness the good effects of this measure : enterprising men will obtain the means of carrying on their speculations, and the people will perhaps unlearn their stupid habit of hiding every part they can lay by. No one under me need fear for the security of property honestly come by; and they will find out, I trust, that it is better to use it than to allow it to lie dead., A man," he continued, " died here lately, who had held a petty office, and was scarcely considered in tolerable circumstances, yet he left behind him 60,000 gazi, in ready money. I should never have heard any thing of it, if the children had not quar relled about the inheritance, and one of them appealed to me. I sent for them, and advised them to settle their dis pute as fast as possible, telling them if they got into the cadi's hands, it would be worse for them all."—Letter of Prince I'uckler Muskan. THE TURKEY.—For all the purposes of domestic use, the turkey is one of the most important fowls. According to Buffon and others, there is but one species; and, in this country, there are only three varieties— e the capper, the white, and the Norfolk black. The first has long been held in great esteem ; the second is remarkable for its delicate whiteness, contrasted with its red head ; and the third, having been crossed with the large Virginian turkey, is now consi dered our finest breed. The wild turkey, from which the domestic breeds are derived, is a native of America, where it may still be found in the remoter parts of the north, though the numbers are fast diminishing ; and it will probably be come, at no distant period, extinct, as the dodo has in the African islands, and the cock of the woods, as well as the bustard in Britain. The bird was probably introduced into this country from Spain, soon after the discovery of America; since Tusser, who lived in the reign of Henry VII., repre sents it AS a common dish, together with pig, goose, and ca pon. The turkey did not reach France quite so early ; the first iwtclligence we have of it in that country being at the nuptial feast of Charles IX., in the year 1570. They have since been domesticated throughout the civilized world, in every climate, although said not to exceed equally on the barren sands of Africa. They were first called the Indian cock and hen, because brought from the West Indies. It is difficult to ascertain the etymology of their present name. It appears to have been intended as a satire upon the solemn strut of the bird, which might appear to give it a resemblance to the pompous stride of a Turk. Most assuredly it did not arise from the native place of the bird, which has no con nexion with eastern Europe or Asia. To suppose the bird meleagris, mentioned by the Greek writers, to have been the turkey, is quite a mistake. When discovered in America, they were seen both in a wild and domestic state. They were of a very large size ; and although some of the Spaniards declare them to have been of excellent quality, there is a tra dition, as old as the time of the buccaneers, that they were not worth powder and s h o t. Th ose li v i ng w ild i n A mer i ca appear quite bla6k ; but, on close inspection, it will be found that each feather 'is waved with a greyish-brown colour. In a state of nature, they are said to parade in flocks of five hundred, and even five thousand, feeding, in general, where abundance of nettles are to be found, the seed of which is their common food : they also feed upon a small red acorn, which, in the warm and fertile parts of America, is ripe in March, when the turkeys become so fat as to be unable to fly more than a few hundred yards, and are then soon run down by dogs and horsemen. They roost upon the highest trees, and are very easily shot or otherwise destroyed, being a heedless and stupid bird. Since the planting and cultiva tion of such extensive tracts in America, the wild breed of turkeys has been driven into the uncultivated regions, and has long since become very rare.

The demand continue s goo d , b u t h o ld ers are firm, and prices of American descriptions have advanced id to id since Friday : the sales to-day are 4,500 bales, the principal part of which are American at 6d to 8d; 500 taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The business of Saturday was about 3,500 bales. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Nov. 2. The supplies of British Grain, &c. continue very small ; and of foreign produce the chief receipts consist of 3,980 qrs. of Wheat, 1660 qrs. of Oats, and 1,760 barrels of Flour. From the 24th to the 30th instant, both inclusive, duties were paid on 4300 qrs. of Wheat, 4,330 qrs. of Oats, 837 qrs. of Barley, 493 qrs of Peas, .1020 qrs. of Beans, and 3,120 barrels of Flour, 4,143 qrs. of the Wheat and 2,754 barrels of the Flour on the first-named day, previous to the advance of the impost to 16s 8d per qr. Since this day se'nnight we have had an active trade in old Wheat, the business comprising the usual vend to our local millers, daily purchases for shipment coastwise and to Ireland, together with some transactions on speculation. The demand has run chiefly upon the middling qualities of foreign, including hard; and for these descriptions the prices quoted in our last week's report have been exceeded by fully 6d per bushel, Odessa soft selling at lOs to lOs 6d, and hard at gs to gs 6d. The better sorts have also improved in value, though not to the same extent. Danzig has been sold at lls to 12s, Baltic red at lOs 9d to lls 6d. English new white is held at Its 6d to 12s, and red at lOs6d to 11s 3d per 701bs. Irish new Wheat has still moved slowly, without change in value.—Flour has met a good demand, and 1 s per sack and barrel dearer. United States has brought 42s to 43s per 1961bs.—New Oats, arrivals from Ireland having been kept out by easterly winds, have been in very small supply, and the few of them have realized rather better prices: good Irish kiln-dried 4s Id to 4s 2d per 451bs.—Oatmeal 36s 6d to 37s 3d per 2401b5.—A little fine English New Barley has sold at 525, and some choice foreign, suitable for malting, at 48s to 50s per imp. qr.: inferior parcels, for grinding, may be quoted at 5s 3d to 5s 6d, and Irish new at 45 lid to 4s gd per 601bs.—Beans and Peas have met a free sale at full prices. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 4. There has been little more than half a supply of Beasts at our market to-day, which caused the trade to be brisk, and for the best quality of Beef, an advance of los per head may be quoted. Second and inferior Beef sold at fully last week's prices. The number of Sheep was smaller than last week, and the demand good, but not at higher prices. Good blethers sold at 64d to 61d, Second quality and Ewes Sid to 6#d.—Beasts, 1169; Sheep, 4962. ASHES [CES CURRENT. MADDER, la cwt. S. d. S. d.
