Voctry. THE WIZARD OF TUE NORTH' trim following are the concluding lines Of, a- poem under the fore. going title, by the Hon. HENRY LIDDELL, just YE that have known the subject of my song, The notes of grief in tenderer strain prolong ! Recall those pleasant hours that glided by. Lit with the sunshine of his glowing eye, When, all inspired, the Poet would rehearse Some stirring deed in legendary verse. And wake to memory the wild alarms That roused the Border Chivalry to arms ; Or when the changing tone, pathetic, low. Roll'd 'neath the shadows of his dark'ning brow. In some sad tale of Scotland's olden time. Recorded vengeanCe, suffering. and crime. So the clear river, dancing in the ray, Reflects the brilliance of the summer day. Or murmurs mournfully beneath the shade Of high o'erarching rocks and gloomy forest glade. In him we saw that rarest union join'd. Of boundless talents with the simplest mind. No bitter controversies vex'd his brain. No wit that wanton'd in another's pain ; Th' invidious cavil, or the critic's sneer, Provoked no anger, and inspired no fear ; The shafts of malice flew, but harmless fell— For who that wrote so much e'er wrote so well ? Who else can look upon that scene of strife, The labours of a literary life, Nor wish one single page, one single word. For Virtue's sake, unwritten or unheard I Be this thy glory, Seorr ! (how few may crave An equal right to hopes beyond the grave,) That one undeviating moral still Is drawn from every tale of good or ill— That vice, howe'er successful for a time, Incurs at last the penalty of crime : But he that hopes for happiness above, On earth that values friendship, fame. or love. Must keep the path of duty, rarely trod, Be just to man, and faithful to his God. VARIETIES. KINDNESS TO INFERIOR ANIMA 1, s.—II is impossible to view - die cheerfulness, and happiness of animals and birds without pleasure; the latter, especially, appear to enjoy themselves during the fine weather, in spring and summer, with a degree of hilarity which might be almost envied. It is astonishing how much man might do to lessen the misery of these crea tures, which are either given to him for food or use, or for adding to his pleasure, it he were so disposed. Instead of which, he often exercises a degree of wanton tyranny and cruelty over them, which cannot be too much deprecated, and for which no doubt he will be one day held accountable. Ani mals are so capable of showing gratitude and affection to those who have been kind to them, that I never see them subjected to ill-treatment, without feeling the utmost abhorrence of those who are inflicting it. I know manly persons who, like myself, take a pleasure in seeing all the animals about them happy and contented.—Cows will show their moving their ears gently, and putting out their wet noses. Bly old horse rests his head on the gate with great complacency, when he sees me coming, expecting to receive an apple or a piece of bread. I should even be sorry to see my poultry and pigs get out of my way with any symptoms of fear.—JEssn's Gleanings. A MADMAN'S FROLIC.—Miss Kelly, in her ." Dramatic RC' oollectious," relates with great effect a story that Mrs. Mattocks, the actress, told her. She went to Bedlam with some friends, and the keeper, pointing to one cell which they had not seen, said—" Here's one in here who is perfectly quiet so long as you don't contradict him: mind, I say, if you don't contradict him." Accordingly they entered the cell, and saw a pale-faced melan choly man, with dark eyes, which had a penetrating brightness peculiar to madmen. lie was in deep thought as they entered. The party having satisfied their curiosity, were about retiring, " when (said Mrs. Mattocks) he seized me by the wrist, shut ting the door, and placing his back against it, held me in his firm grasp. Well, young woman, (said he) you're in a comical situation here, shut in with a madman.' I said, Sir ?' But you needn't be alarmed ; you are perfectly safe. They told you I was harmless, didn't they? You needn't answer. Are you fond of drawing ? I know you are. What is this ?' he concluded, hoidiug up a paper. A ship' said I. A ship, is it? You call my tree a ship, do you?' Yes, yes, (said I) it is a ship.' Oh, and pray what is this?' Obliged to say something, and not knowing what he thought it was, I answered • A house,' which it was. A house, eh ! So you call my coach and four a house, do you ?' So saying he pulled a clasp knife from his pocket, and opening it with his teeth, at the same mo ment swinging me round the cell with his huge arm, said, 6 Now, is it a house or not ?" It is, it is!" Then I'll tell ou what it is, then—this is a dolphin.' Then holding up the knife, and gnashing his teeth, said, Can you tell what this is, and no mistake ?" A knife,' I answered. night, for once,' said he; and can you tell me what I shall do with it ?' I trem bled, and shook my head in silent negative. tell you what I shall do with it; I shall—scrape my charcoal.'" DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP.-With a male friend each party has his own pretensions, is careful to maintain his ground, and feels a rivalship_ even in the midst of the most entire apparent reciprocity. There is a jealousy; each party lays down the law, the laws of his own mind, takes care that there is a clear stage, and summons his faculties to enable him to render the justice due to his case; even when he listens to his friend, when he attends with deference, and is grateful for the light he receives, still he thinks of himself, is anxious that he should not be found in the act of betraying the c learness and independence of his understanding, and in the warmest paroxysms of amity remembers that he and the partner of his heart are distinct beings. In the graver and more senti mental communications of man and man, the head still bears the superior sway ; in the unreserved intimacies of man and woman, the heart is ever uppermost. Feeling is the main thing; and judgment passes for little. We go immediately to the point, not whether this thing or that thing is true, but how do you like this thing or that—what pulse of approbation or dis approbation, of delight, of emotion, or sympathy, does it rouse in your bosom? If I and my male friend agree in a certain opinion, it is mill; I feel so much the more kindly towards him, so much more gratification in our acquaintance. Still, however, we are two. But with a female, and that female the object of my growing partiality and preference, every new agreement of sentiment and approbation brings us nearer to each other, removes one more brick from the wall which origi nally separated us, dissolves our several identities, and, as it were, melts us, like different chemical substances, in one cruci ble, and mingles us in heart and spirit, with a feeling{, that we can never thereafter be divided.—Deloraine, by the Author of Caleb Williams. InusiTiTv.—The moral government of 'man in society to a great degree hinges upon the is question of identity ; in other words, that everyman is recognisable by his fellows. The sys tem of the world such, that, amidst the thousands of millions of human creatures" that inhabit this globe of earth, each one is individualised by his features, his figure, his carriage, his voice, and a multitude of almost unassignable particulars, so that he is at once identified by the most superficial observer. There is something in the outline and carriage of every man, by which he does not fail to be singled out and challenged by his acquaintance, as far as he can be seen. The distinctions are subtle, and, as we might at first think, iu a manner unde finable; yet are such as to answer every practical purpose. Were it not for this, what wont(' be the mural and civil govern ment of mankind? There may perhaps be persons so firm in rectitude, that, if no human creatures were privy to their offence, if only "the midnight moon and silent stars had seen it," they yet would not endure the consciousness of their own degradauou. But the mass of mankind are not thus constituted. They are held in awe by the opinions and censure of each other. Reputation is the breath of their nostrils, the element by which they respire. The construction that shall be made of their pro ceedings is the thought that awes them; and even the judgment they shall make of themselves is regulated by the judgment of their neighbours. We are members of a community, and can be irarcely said, any one of us, to have a rational existence independent of our fellows. And if this is the case in coin para ively trifling particulars, and what may be called the minor mora s, now much more essential will it be found in those weig itier matters by which society is prevented froin failing into anarchy and barbarism ? Who can tell how few are those itidiAduals who would be withheld from invading the property of others, infringing their freedom, or breaking into the cham ber of their lives, were not the rest of mankind set, as it were, as a watch upon their actions; and did they not severely reta liate, by legal proceeding or otherwise, upon the aberrations of Stitytraosgressor ?—Doloraina, by ilia iliAdior of Caleb Williams. THE IAVEItPOOL STA NMI ;An. THE LONDON PRESS. REFORM AND TAXATION. The following is from a ministerial evening paper of Friday last : " A vestry meeting of the inhabitants of St. Paul, Covent garden, was held yesterday morning to receive the report of the deputation that had waited upon Lord Althorp on the house and window taxes. The report stated, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared it to be impossible for his Majesty's mi nisters to proyose the repeal of these duties during the present year. A petition to the two Houses of Parliament, was there fore, agreed to." This is a most pleasant commencement for a reformed Parliament ! The reformers,—the whole-bill men and the nothing-but-the-bill men, must look ridiculously merry and happy after this announcement. What ! no pay for our piping I—no fees for our fiddling !—no re lease from our hardship_ and grievances after all our toil and all our sacrifices ! What is the meaning of " Reform," if it bring not happiness and prosperity, or if not these, at least, a trifling amelioration of our circumstances, and a slight reduction of our national burdens ? Is it not written in the King's speech, the ink of which is hardly yet dry, and which was read by his Majesty on Tuesday last-in the hearing of his Majesty's " faithful Commons," that "all the extraordinary services which the exigencies of the times required have been amply provided for ?" Money, it seems, has been found for titling out the fleet against Holland—for the payment of the Russian loan— . for Lord Durham's pleasure tour to St. Petersburgh— for the payment of all the salaries of all the Greys, and for a thousand other purposes, and yet not a farthing, it would appear, remains to throw to the reformers as a sort of earnest of the good things they are to enjoy hereafter. This is cruel ! It is unreasonable even towards the car penters and glaziers, for not a new window is to be opened, nor a new light struck out. A penniless exche: quer and a talking Parliament—poverty and reform, are certain ; fine things to those who like them, but we can not say that we are of the number. Mr. Hume was right when he said in his speech, on Thursday, "He was sorry to find that the people were miserably deceived ! !" Guardian and Public Ledger. THE REFORMED HOUSE. Time was when certain feelings of courtesy and good breeding overcame even the violence of party warfare in the House of Commons. Time was when the decencies of social life were preserved, and the conventional dis tinctions which public worth and talent obtain were al lowed by coLunon consent among public men to the lead ers of both political parties. It was reserved for Lord John Russell's Parliament to outrage and insult thoSe feelings, to violate those decencies ' to disregard those distinctions, and to reverse all those forms which even in Political Unions give precedence and place to the Humes and O'Connells who frequent them. Mr. Cobbett, whose assumption of Lord Althorp's seat afforded so much amusement on the first night of the session, is said to have declared that he left it, not out of deference to his lordship, but because his friends would not follow his ultra movement, and he found it inconve nient to sit alone among the ministers. To Sir R. Peel's accustomed position in the house no such objection ex isted, and there accordingly are the radical crew gathered together—Cobbett and O'Connell, and the Brighton ra dicals whose election in defiance of the King's influence does such honour to the King's ministers. There, too, sits Whittle Harvey, pure, immaculate, disinterested pa triot, and scores more whose names are as yet unknown even to Lord Althorp, but whose votes he will ere long live to deprecate. re these, and such as these now ap pertain the seats which a Fox, and Sheridan, and Brougham at one time graced, an d from which with brutal violence they exclude the only living statesmen who, with comprehensive views, matured experience, and ready debating powers, com bine: that solidity of charact& and universal respect which Pitt has bequeathed to Sir Robert Peel, and which the tories, as a body, though out of office, still possess, but which in office, the whigs can not obtain ; why, Mr. Cobbett can best tell them. — Morning Post. THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY. We have left ourselves but little space to speak of the part which the conservatives have played between the ministry and the opposition. It has been worthy of them. There has been no petty ovation over the dis appointment of the whigs, no mean co-operation with with the factious machinations of the radicals. There has been no seeking for popular applause, no craving after political power. Seldom has a speech been delivered which produced a greater effect than that delivered by Mr. Shaw. The clearness with which he detailed facts, and the unaffectedly impressive appeal which he founded upon them, entitle him to the hearty gratitude of every Protestant in Ireland. Sir R. Peel is said to think little of the praise of journalists ; but we must not .on that ac count withhold from him ours. There was in his speech genius of the highest order, art of the most cultivated re finement ; but there was more. There was what genius sometimes wants, what art can never acquire—genuine nobility of mind.—Morning Post. The debate of the four days, and its result, present a triumphant answer to the slander of the ministerial press both before and during the election. Our readers cannot be unmindful of the incessant cry of the Times and its accomplices in calumny, that the conservatives were making a league with the destruct tives, in order to trip up the heels of the ministry—an audacious falsehood, which its promulgators did not dis continue, even after the detection of Mr. Charles Wood's letter to Lord Clanricarde, implorinq him in Lord Grey's name, . and confessedly by Lord Urey's authority, to " support any one rather than a conservative :" the only possible " any one" in the case being a " radical, a de structive, and a repealer"—a member of that faction whose conduct has made it necessary to place Ireland out of the pale of the general law. _ _ _ Nor yet was the odious lie departed from after Lord Anglesey (now returned upon Ireland) had dismissed Captain Hart from the public service, with as much dis grace as the act of an oppressor can ever inflict, because that officer had voted against a radical or repealer—a de structive, and a member of that faction which is tottering on the very verge of treason, if the members of adminis tration have presented a true picture of the state of Ire land, as none deny that they have done. And how have the conservatives answered this charge ? Look to the acknowledgments of the ministerial papers—look to the division. The speeches of Sir R. Peel and Mr. Shaw were incomparably the best delivered on the side of the ministers, as such they are acknowledged by the ministe rial writers; and in the minority, that ministers contri buted so much to swell by their conduct at the Irish and at some of the English elections—in that minority the name of a single conservative member is not to be found. We hope that the country generally will draw the just conclusion from a circumstance so remarkable and so ho nourable to the most numerous and respectable party in the nation. We hope that the conduct of men, maligned and persecuted up to the last hour as factious and selfish, who, when the trial came, forgot party and personal. wrongs, in pursuit of public good, will be justly appreci ated by an honest and honour-loving people, like the peo lle of Englandi we hope, too, that the lesson will not be ost upon the ministers themselves; we trust that they must now see that the conservatives are not, as recollec tions of their own feelings out of place has led them to suppose, so ravenously greedy of office as to postpone to its acquisition every consideration of the public good. They have now learned that they have only to govern well, to ensure, not merely the support of conservative votes, but the aid of conservative talents, to which the best of their own party can make no approach.—Standard. PARLIAMENTARY HOURS OF BUSINESS. The plan of getting the public business of the House of Commons performed in the day time, instead of in the evening and during the night, as heretofore, however desirable, and even feasible, it may at first appear, will be found, we apprehend, incapable of being brought into practice. There are three obstacles to prevent its adop tion, any one of which will be found too important to be overcome. 1. If ministers were required to attend in Parliament during the morning the business of their respective de partments must be wholly neglected. 2. Commercial and professional men must be either absent or neglect their other callings altogether. 3. Much of the business of Parliament is conducted by committees, which necessarily sit during the forenoon; and the members of which (amounting sometimes to some hundreds in a day) must either be absent from the house or neglect the frequently not less important business of 1 the committees. In the House•of Lards, the objection to any such alter ation is still more insurmountable. That house sits in its judicial capacity during the forenoon: and, of course, could not sit as a House of Parliament at the time pro posed without closing its doors against the numerous ap• . pellants who are anxiously awaiting its judgment; and as it is desirable on many accounts (indeed it is almost indispensable) that the two houses should sit simulta neously, this reason is an additional objection to the pro posed alteration in the business of the Commons. There are, we are fully aware, many reasons in favour of the proposed alteration, were it practicable ; and we can readily understand the inconvenience which is felt by the Irish members especially, who, coming from a dis tance, and having no occupation during the day, find it repugnant to their feelings, after idling away the natural hours of business, to be compelled to pursue their labours during the hours of rest. The question resolves itself into a mere balance of inconveniences. The same prac tice was pursued in the Irish Parliament as is now com plained of here; and probably were Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Shiel as near the Four Courts as they are to West minster-hall, they might see the matter through a diffe rent medium, and themselves oppose the very alteration which they now advocate. Morning Herald. PACIFICATION OF IRELAND. We have been favoured, from a quarter upon which we place implicit reliance, with the following measures to be proposed in the House of Lords to-morrow night, for the pacification of Ireland : A law is to be introduced, providing,- 1. That in all capital cases connected with the exist ing disturbances, upon a suggestion specially to be de fined, THE VENUE MAY BE LAID IN ENGLAND. 2. That the Lord Lieutenant may, in certain described cases, subject, by proclamation, any part of Ireland to MARTIAL LAW. 3. That in the disturbed district of Ireland certain m litary tribunals shall be created for the trial of offences less than capital ; these tribunals to be composed of a cap tain and four subaltern officers, to have power to pro nounce sentence of transportation for life, to be carried into execution instanter upon conviction, and without appeal. I popish priests to be taken into the pay of the Go vernment; but from what fund their wages are to be pro vided we have not learned.—Standard. That it is the clear duty of Government to restore the authority of the laws in Ireland, and to put down the reign of the Agrarian terrorists who spread death and de solation throughout the country no rational man can doubt. It may indeed be a question whether the existing laws, if firmly and judiciously acted upon under a more capable executive than that to which the destinies of the sister island have been for some time past confided, are not sufficient for the repression of outrage and the resto ration of the public peace without the introduction of new and anomalous enactments, which, in putting down one evil, create another, making the violence of a faction the pretext for striking at the liberties of a whole people, and in the name of order, sacrificing the most sacred prin ciples of a free constitution. We say this may be agues tion, for, as the government of Lord Anglesey has been exceedingly weak, vascillating, and apparently without any fixed principle of policy, the existing laws have not had a fair trial. There can be no question, however, that the tranquillity of Ireland must be restored before any measures can be carried into effect by which its con dition may be permanently improved. While it is the clear duty of government to restore the authority of the laws, it is equally its duty to ascertain that all fair means have been tried in vain before violent measures are resorted to. A viceroy of superior intellect —of more steadiness of purpose—of a higher capacity for civil affairs than the present Chief Governor of Ire land has ever displayed, accompanied by a more popular Chief Secretary than Mr. Stanley, might be worth a vo lume of statutes of terror and extermination. Ministers can make this experiment without coming to Parliament for new powers. Why do they not try all the means within their reach before they have recourse to others, which, even when proved to be necessary for the restora tion of the public peace, make wise and good men sad for the dangerous precedents they establish, and the evils they inflict on humanity ?—Morning Herald. EXPENSES TO BE ALLOWED IN FUTURE, TO WITNESSES IN COURTS OF JUSTICE, AT ASSIZES, &C.—The taxing office of the superior courts have agreed to the following allowance to witnesses subpoenaed to give evidence, and which have been approved of by the judges:— £ s. £ s.

It appears that she had qurrrelled with her parents, and, in the heat of her passion, had taken this inconsiderate method of revenge. QUESTIONABLE ECONOMY.—Gibraltar ' Jan, 22.—An order has come to reduce even the skeleton of the naval department here. The agent for transports, the agent-victualler, the mas ter shipwright, stores and provisions, are to be put in charge of a clerk of each. Rear-Admiral Briggs, Commissioner at Malta, is to come here to carry this reduction into effect. NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS.—Among the thousand and one Munchausen communications from Antwerp, during the siege, was one in the Morning Herald, which made the French discharge one gun against the citadel 300 times in one day ! Such is the stupid ignorance of many of those who impose themselves upon the press as correspondents. The quickest firing we have ever known was fifty rounds, three minutes be tween each round, and 147 minutes in firing the rounds. This, too, was a peace experiment, with nine feet 24-pounders. Now if metal could have borne it, and the time of firing the rounds only is reckoned at 50 in 147 minutes, it would have occupied nearly 15 hours to have executed the task. To fire 300 rounds from a heavy piece of ordnance in eight hours, for the French hardly batte-ed Antwerp in the dark night, is a most astonish ing task, nly capa')le of being executed by the correspondent of the Morning Herald. A hundred rounds a gun would have been good w sor five hours, at three minutes a round; but what man could keep this up without interruption, and under an enemy's fire ?--United Service Gazette.
