CO.VTEMPORARY PRESS. The Whigs are very uncomfortable about the assessed taxes. Their disquietude is reflected in the Times.— That honest journal does not well know what to make of the position of its masters. The Times labours hard to show that passive resistance to the assessed taxes in 1533 differs widely from passive resistance to the same imposts in 1332. The 7'imes, moreover, wonders why people shoUld be annoyed at being called on to pay taxes, which thew have paid so long. The Times, in addition to all this, declares that ministers will remove these taxes as soon as possible—and, almost in the same breath, the Times pro fesses to wonder at the folly of those who can expect mi nisters to remove taxes at their own free will and pleasure. They would, thereby, adds our disinterested contemporary, ren the risk of impeacluyieisf The Times "can turn, hnd turn, and yet go on, and turn again" with a bolder and better . grace than most of our contemporaries. Yet the " leading journal's" move ments on this occasion are of the most limping and awk ward kind. Here is a specimen : " We need scarcely again repeat our firm belief in the pledge of ministers that these obnoxious imposts will be abolished by the consent of parliament in the course of the following session, or express our consequent suspicion that the parties who now associate to resist their . payment (while they remain unrepealed) have other objects in view than an impossible exemption from their pressure. Few of the associators can be so grossly stupid or ignorant as to believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or all the cabinet put together, can either impose duties or re mit them at their own sole will and pleasure. if they possessed such a power,—a power of imposing or repealing taxes, the .go vernment of this country would differ only from the despotism of Turkey in being administered by a more prudent or civilized Divan, or body of Paellas, than are to be found in the domi nions of the Grand Seiguor." The Times expresses its " firm belief in the pledge of ministers." Has not the pledge been forfeited already in the case of these assessed taxes ? What second pledge have they given ? And if a second were given, why should it be deemed more valuable than the first ? As to the rubbish which the Times advances ap c put the want of power in ministers to repeal taxes ; without the permission of Parliament, is it not notorious that no well trained spaniel ever displayed greater anxiety to please its master, than the first reformed Parliament has done . to please the Whigs ? Is it not notorious that the present House of Commons rescinded the malt tax on a I?ridav, and then, to please the Whigs, re-imposed it on the Tlesday following ? Is it not equally notorious that the Whigs out of office denounced the assessed taxes? Is it not equany notorious that they prevented the removal of these taxes last session 4 Did they not, moreover, by the mouth of Spring Rice, defend the principle of these taxes, wtien they found it convenient to continue them ? And yet the Times has impudence enough to call on us to . place confidence in the pledges of the miserable, imbe cile, unprincipled Whigs—and to prate about the want of power to remove taxes without the permission of that very House of Commons which these very Whigs_ would not permit to remove these very taxe s !—T r u e Sun. WHIG REFORM.—II is well known how frequently the Town Council of Vinburgh, under the old system (which expires on Friday) has been held up to public re probation by the Whir , Press, for having abused the City's patronage, whether belonging to the Church or the University. The very last appointment that was made in the College, the filling IV of the vacancy occa sioned by the death of Sir John Leslie, was denounced by them as a job that would brand their memories with perpetual disgrace. We never repose much confidence in such statements, and it is not a little curious to find that their reiterated charges, about the abuse of patronage on the part of the Town Council, have met with a refuta tion from the highest authority in the realm. His Ma jesty, it will be seen, has vested in that Corporation the future appointment of two Crown Professorships, Pa thology and Surgery. We shall not here inquire whe ther the King has been advised to divest himself of these .rights in order that the Whigs who are now about to as sume the reins of civic government in Edinburgh, may have additional patronage thrown into their hands—a conjecture by no means improbable. Our present object is simply to refer to the high compliment which his Ma jesty pays to a body of men uniformly represented by their opponents, the Whigs, as a mass of corruption ; for it is expressly stated that the Royal Act alluded to has been made in favour of the Town Council " in con sequence of the liberal, impartial, and judicious use which they had hitherto made of their academical pa tronage." This is a valuable testimony as to the unex ceptionable manner in which vacant Chairs in our . Col lege have been filled even under the old close system. It differs certainly in foto from the statements urriformly put forth by our Whig contemporaries: but as his Ma jesty did not surrender his patronage until after making "proper inquiries into the conduct of the Council," the obvious inference is, that the systematic detractors of our civic dignitaries have been all along dealing in their staple commodity—delusion and misrepresentation-- Edinburgh Adrertiser. LITERATURE. Although wa of the STANDARD were not among those who were favoured with a copy of the Life of William Roscoe, by his Son, Henry Roscoe," yet, to show that we - are not influenced by any party prejudices in doing jus tice to talent wherever it appears, we borrow from the 'Edinburgh Review, just published, the following remarks . upon the work, and condensed biography of our late dis •tinguished townsman : Mr. Roscoe was horn in Liverpool in 175.3. To Sir Isaac Heard, who, on forming an acquaintance with the author of Lorenzo d e ' Medici, had expressed a wish to trace and record his pedigree, he thus replied :—" From all that I can learn, it appears, that whilst other families have rolled on for centuries in disLinct and appropriate channels, mine has always been mingled in the common mass, and has composed a part. of the immense tide that daily falls into the ocean of oblivion. The Origines Guelficce occupy five folio volumes, whilst the Oriyines in question will find ample space in five lines." At the period of his birth, his father was the master of a public-house, with . gardens and a well frequented bowling-green; but this situation, however unfavourable sit appearance, was not destitute to him of some advantages, with respect both to moral and intellectual culture, which his happy disposition enabled him to turn to the best account. At the age of six he was placed at a school where the master frequently admitted bins to the use of his little book • case, tilled with the best authors of the time. "To his care," • says his pupil, in an interesting sketch of his early day s , i nser t e d in the present work, "and the instructions of a kind and affec tionate mother, I believe I may safely attribute any good prin... reiples which may have appeared in my conduct during my -future life. It is to her I owe the inculcation of those senti ments of humanity which became a principle in my mind. Nor did she neglect to supply me with such.books as she thought 'would contribute to my literary imprtheement." Ile was-removed in due tfihe to a higher school, which he quitted at twelve years old, having, by the confession of the;mas , ter, learned all that• he could teach him, that is, the &rumen branches of a r . urcly Eaglish edutrition. Instruction of &higher kind came neither within the plan, nor probably w ithi n ' the means of his - parerts ; and from this time all his acquirements were to be the fruit of his own voluntary and strenuous exertions. "Having quitted school," he says, "and committed my English grammar to the flames, I now began to assist my father in his agricultu ral concerns, particularly in his business of cultivating potatoes - for sale, of which he every year grew several acres, and which he sold, when produced early in the season, at very advanced prices. His mode•of cultivation was entirely bv the spade; and, when raised early, they were considered in that part of Lanca shire as a favou'rite esculent. When they had attained their proper growth, we were accustomed to carry them t o th e mar - het on our heads, in large baskets, for sale, where 1 was gene rally intrusted with the disposal of them, and soon became - a very useful assistant to my father. In this, and other laborious occupations, particularly in the care of a garden, in which I took great pleasure, I passed several years of my life, devoting my hours of relaxation to reading my books. This mode of life gave health and vigour to ray bod y , and amusement and instruc t:on to my mind; and to this day I well remember the delicious sleep which succeeded my labOura, from which I was again railed at an early hour. If I were asked whom I consider to be happiest of the'human race, I should answer, those who cul tivate the earth by their own hands. "Being now in my fifteenth year, I was called upon to make choice of a profession, when my attachment to reading induced me to prefer that of a bookseller. I was accordingly placed with Mr. Gore, a respectable tradesman in Liverpool; but after remaining there for a month, and not finding the attendance on a shop reconcileablo to my disposition, I quitted him, and re turned to my . labours. 111 the following year, (1769,) I was articled, for six years, to Mr. John Eyes, Jun., a young attorney and solicitor in Liverpool; and thus entered upon an anxious and troublesome profession." His leisure hours, however, were still, as in the nnskackled freedom of his boyhood, devoted to literature, and particularly to English poetry; for it was one of those periods of political calm when elegant literature, and especially verse, was enabled to take its station highest amongst the objects of public atten tion and individual ambition. In the present day, a youth in humble life, gifted with his abilities and energies, would natu rally become the orator of a political union, and oblige the world with his sentiments on tithes, poor laws, and an "eqrsi - :table adjustment;" in those, he as naturally becaine an ad znirer and imitator of Shenstone and of 'Goldsmith. Mr. Roscoe's attachment to these favourites and models of his youth -was deep and lasting. To the end of his career, he continued to prefer their mild and polished strains, both to the simplicity and the intensity of later schools of poetry. Whatever may be thought of the correctness of his judgment iu this respect, it can scarcely be doubted that it was to this predilection for the elegant and refined in composition, which accorded well with the spirit of humanity breathed into him by his mother, that he owed the remai kable amenity and dignity of manners by which be was early distinguished, and which, as we have been in formed, often gained fort . in society th e a pp e ll a ti on o f s' Nature's alllneman•Al'''^ With less rectitude of mi ' nd Mel manliness of character, such tastes might have diverted him from the sober aims of life, and rendered hifn an idler and a dreamer; but these qualities, joined to the consideration that his exertions formed the sole reliance of a father and sister, were sufficient to preserve him from undue influence in any pursuits not likely to lead to an bonoutable in dependence; and his professional diligence and acquirement s "we such as to give full satisfaction to his employer. A. friendship whir.h he formed with an accomplished young man of the name of Holden, then an assistant in a school, was the means of stimu!ating him to the acquisition of foreign lan guages. His friend gave him instructions in French; and, in concert with other congenial associates, he always devoted some hours, before the bessiness of the day commenced, to the study of Latin; to'which, at a much later period, he added a slight acquaintance with Greek. It was by Holden also that, a few years subsequently. his attention was drawn to the lite rature of modern Italy. From passages of the. celebrated poets of that country, recited by his friend, he imbibed a taste for the -. language, tecarne a proficient in it by degrees, and, it is re marka: le very conceived suc h an idea of the extraor dinary talents and merits et Lorenzo do' Medici, ars to /WM the project of becoming at some future time his biographer. Mr. ti.oscoe formed a striking exception to that indifference for the works of art which artists have laid to tho charge of the poets, with whom indeed, in youth especially, the charms of external nature, and the emotions of the heart, are usually all-engros sing interests. In him a fondness for the imitative arts seems to have been almost instinctive; his Italian studies nourished doubtless the predilection; and the first of his published poems, an "Ode on the Formation of a Society in Liverpool for the Encouragement of Painting and Design," composed in his twentieth year, gave an earnest of that enlightened curiosity re specting those objects which was to contribute to the illustration of his chosen theme. Four years later, in a poem of very consi derable merit, entitled " Mount Pleasant," ho sang the praises of his native town, now fastrising iu opulence and commercial im portance; and at the same time made a commencement of those laudable endeavours, in which he constantly persevered to direct the attention of his townsmen to the more liberal pursuits of science and literature; and in his own words " to abate that spirit of enterprise and thirst of gain, which, when too much indulged, is seldom productive either of virtue or happiness." In this poem he likewise entered his earliest protest agaiust that peculiar reproach of Liverpool, its large concern in the African slave trade. Thus early had his well-constituted mind seized upon objects of interest and pursuit, both highly im portant and worthy iu themselves, and so well adapted to his own powers, and to the circumstauces by which he found him self surrounded, as never afterwards to be abandoned by him as impracticable, or dropped as use!ess. The French Revolution now broke - forth, and even in this country the flames of political animosity soon blazed up with fury. It could not be doubtful, from the previous course of Mr. Roscoe's public conduct, and the leading principles of his cha racter, which side was to receive his support. His feelings and his convictions were all enlisted in the cause of freedom, which he regarded as that of human nature. He attended two meet ings held in 1790 and 1791, in commemoration of the destruction of the Bastile ; and at the second, he recited his celebrated song, beginning " O'er the vine-covered hills and gay regions of 1' ranee," which was written for the occasion, But the ex cesses of the French leaders soon became shocking to humanity like his, and grief and shame took place of the exultation with which he hailed the dawn of French liberty. Through some propitious circumstance, of which his biographer has omitted to inform us, Mr. Roscoe had before this time obtained the ac .3uaintance of the late Marquis of Lansdowne ; and that discern ing nobleman, struck with his talents and his merit, had esta blished with him a frequent and confidential correspondence, chiefly on political topics, which was maintained to the termina tion of his lordship's life. To his lordship he thus expressed his sentiments on the aspect of affairs at home and abroad, immediately - after the destruction of the Brissotines : " As to the great point which the French think they have gained 'by the destruction of - their monarchy, I: think it of little consequence; not that lain become a believer in the maxim, that " whate'er is best administered is best," but -because .1 think that a mouarchy is capable of being well constituted for the happiness of a people as a republic. And though, I hope, not superstitious, I cannot help thinking that the voluntary and solemn oath of a whole nation, to abide by a constitution which they took three years in framing, ought, if there be any thing serious or binding in human affairs, to have some weight. I will not trouble your lordship with my flings on the con duct of the French rulers subsequent to this shocking event. The horrid industry employed in the discovery of the other proscribed deputies, the deliberate mockery of their trial, and the bloody indifference of the people at large, on the execution of such men as Rabaut, who first rescued them from despotism, freezes my affections, and gives me a dislike, not only to the French, but to may species. Sorry am Ito say, that this dislike is not much removed by any thing I can see in my own country, where the same selfish and slavish spirit that has contributed to bring on the enormities of France is apparent in the prosecu tion of all those who aim, by a cool, rational, and deliberate reform, to prevent a similar catastrophe here." In the study of the Italian writers, with a view to his great literary object, Mr. Roscoe now sought relief from the vexa tions of politics; and his activity .found further exercise for itself in an undertaking, to which he was partly prompted by his early love of agricultural occupations and a country life, — the drainage of an extensive tract of moss-land in the neigh bourhood of Manchester, which occuried for many years a large portion of the time he was able to snatch from professional and literary pursuits. .After several years of anxious preparation., the "Life of Lorenzo de' Medici" was given to the public in 1796. The persevering efforts of the author, aided by some signal, circum stances of good fortune, by which the difficulties attending the collection of his materials were .triumphantly overcome, are narrated by his biographer with considerable but interesting detail; as are the warm testimonies of approbation, domestic and foreign, which the publication justly earned for him Lord Lansdowne assured the author that the success had been far beyond any book he remembered, "though flume's publica tion of his grst volumes was within his memory." Lord Orford was enchanted with the graces of the narrative, and the beauty or the poetical translations. The Earl of Bristol, from his resi dencent Rome, wrote to inquire the place of residence of "the ingenious, learned, and elegant author;" and what present of hooks, pictures, or statues, might be most welcome to him. His early friend, Dr. Aikin, assured bins that but one opinion was heard as to its being the most elegant and interesting work, of a literary nature, which had appeared for many years; and congratulated bins that a merit long conspicuous in the circle of his friends was now fairly m anifested to the world at large. Dr. Parr introduced himself to his acquaintance with a long list of learned remarks and corrections; and he was at once gratified and embarrassed by a glowing compliment, from the author of the "Pursuits of Lit er ature." Even the periodical .critics gave nearly unalloyed praise to the new candidate for fame. In Italy, the book was received with similar marks of approbation and esteem. The learned Fabroni laid aside a life of Lorenzo, which he had himself begun, and promoted in its stead a translation of the English work. Other eminent Italian scholars wrote letters of compliment to the author; and his literary reputation, at this day, stands even higher in that country than in his own. The work was also translated into the French and German languages, with the accompaniment of learned notes. It was subsequently reprinted at Philadelphia.

This work is finished in a very elegant manner, and contains a considerable number of splendid engravings, not all new we admit, but of the first order and in unim paired condition nevertheless. Miss Landon furnishes the poetry and some of the prose, which, to our taste, is more attractive than her rhymes, and is a sort of cool resting place to the windward of those gardens of roses and perfumes, in which the maiden's muse delights to roam. Some of the more beautiful engravings are repre sentations of oriental scenery, but there are two or three good portraits, and three landscapes from our own im mediate locality. "Coneston Water" is an exquisite picture, but as we do not give pictures as one of our .con temporaries gives sea serpents, we must content ourselves with selecting Miss Landon's verses which accompanv . a spirited sketch of the" Old Wishing Gate" of Liverpool THE WISHING GATE:* Wishes, no !

What have Ito seek of thee I Not a wish remains for me. Let the soldier pause to ask Honour on his glorious task ; Let the parting sailor crave A free wild wind aeross the wave ; Let the maiden pause to frame "Blessings on some treasured name ; Let them breathe their hopes in thee, Not a wish remains for me.

Ah ! ifthis old charm were south, One wish yet might tax its truth; I would ask, however vein, Never more to wish again. I believe that to this haunted gate a common superstitio n is attach ed,"namely, that to Wish, and to have that wish fulfilled, is the result of such wish being uttered while passing. TOM CRINGLE'S LOG; REPRINTED FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE, WITH ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. Blackwood has our best thanks for bringing out in a separate work these liVely and inimitable stories. Tom Cringle is the Peregrine Pickle and the Humphry Clinker of our times; he is every whit as amusing, with out being as coarse as Smollet; and we are confident that no book has recently issued from the press which has half the chance of becoming so popular. We have already given many extracts from the log, and we are therefore at a loss to light on a portion sufficiently concise foK,9nr columns ; but, as far as we remember, - the following has not been brought under general notice. Cringle and his companions, Bang and others are in - St. Domingo, for some purposes which it is unnecessary to explain, and in the solitude of the mountain scenery the following touch of superstition and sea sentimentality occurs. We shall give it the title of Bang's Confessions: — Had I lived before the Roman conquest I would have been a Druid, for it is not under the echoing domes of Our magnifi cent cathedrals, with all the grandeur of our ritual, the flaming tapers, and bands of choristers, and the pealing organ, and smok ing censers, and silver-toned bells, and white-robed priests, that the depths of my heart are stirred up. It is here, and not in a temple made with hands ; however gorgeous—here, in the secret places of the everlasting forest,—it is in such a place as this that I feel the immortal spark within me kindling into a flame, and wavering up heavenward. I am superstitious, Thomas, I am superstitious, when left alone in such a scene as this. I can walk through a country churchyard at midnight, and stumble amongst the rank grass that covers the graves of those I have lived with and loved, even if they be "green in death, and fes tering in their shrouds," with the wind moaning amongst the stunted yew-trees, and the rain splashing and scattering on the moss-covered tombstones, and the blinding blue lightning flash ing, while the headstones glance like an array of sheeted ghosts, and the thunder is grumbling overhead, without a qualm—dire ness of this kind cannot once daunt me ;—it is here aid now, when all nature sleeps in the ardent noontide, that I become superstitious, and would -not be- willingly left alone. Thoughts too deep for tears !—aye, indeed, and there be such thoughts, that, long after time Was allowed them to subside, and when, to the cold eye of the world, all is clear and smooth above, will, when stirred up, like the sediment of this fountain of the wood, discolour and embitter the whole stream of life once more, even after the lapse of long, lon g years. When my heart-crushing loss was recent—when the wound was green, I could not walk abroad at this to wie witching time of day, without a stock or a stone, a distant mark on the hill-side, or the outline of the grey cliff above, taking the very fashion of her face;or figure, on which 1 would gave, and gaze, as if spell-bound; Until I . knel nat whether to call it a gioupingef tbe imsginatinn - , or a'reality Tl 4! E LP/ EttPOOL STANDAhn. from.without —of her, with whom I fond'y hoped to have tra - . veiled the weary road of life. Friends approved—fortune smiled —one little nimith, and we should have been one; but it pleased Him to whom'in my present frame of mind I dare not-look up, to blight my beautiful flower, to canker my rose-bud, to change the lair countenance of my Elizabeth, and send her away. She drooped and died, even like that pale flower under the scorch ing sun; and I was driven forth to worship Mammon, in these sweltering climes; but the sting remains, the barbed arrow sticks fast." Here the cleared surface of the water, into which he was steadfastly looking, was gradually contracted into a small round ot about a foot in diameter, by the settling back of the gree n spot about a foot in diameter, by the settling back of the green floating matter that he had skimmed aside. His countenance became very pale; he appeared even more excited than he had hitherto been. "By heavens ! look iu that water, if the green covering of it has not arranged itself round the clear sput into the shape of a medallion—into her features ! I had dreamed of such things lee fore, but now it-is a palpable reality-4t is her face—her straight nose—her Grecian upper lip—her beautiful forehead, and her very bust !—even, • As when years apace Had bound her lovely waist with woman's zone.' Oh, Elizabeth—Elizabeth !" Here is whole frame shook with the most intense emotion, but at length, tears, unwonted tears, did come to his relief, and he hid his face in his hands, and wept bitterly. I was now con vinced he was mad, but I durit not interrupt him. At length he slowly removed his hands, by which time, however, a most beautiful small black diver, the most minute species of duck that I ever saw—it was .not so, big as my fist—but which is com mon-in woodland ponds in the West Indies, had risen to the centre of the eye of the fountain, while all was so still that it floated quietly like a leaf on the water, apparently without the least fear of us. " The devil appeared in Pe.radise under the shape of a cor morant," said Mr. Bang, half angrily, as he gazed sternly at the unlooked for visitor; "what imp art thou?" Tip—the.little fellow dived ; presently it rose again in the same place, and lifting up its little foot, scratched the side of its tiny yellow bill and little red-spotted head, shook its small wings, bright and changeable as shot silk, with a snow-white pen-feather in each, and then tipped up its little purple tail, and once more disappeared. Aaron's features were gradually relaxing ; a change was coming over the spirit of his dieaan. The bird appeared for the third time, lopked him in' the face, first turning up one little sparkling eye, and .then another, with its neck changing its hues like a pigeon's. Aaron began to smile; he_gently raised his stick—"Do you cock yOurfia at me, you tiny thief, you?" —and thereupon he struck at it with his stick. Tip—the duck dived, - and .did .not rise .again; and all that ,he got was a sprinkling shower in the face, from the water flashing up at his blow, and once more the green covering settled back again, and-the bust of his dead love, or what he fancied to be so, dis appeared. Aaron laughed outright, arose, and began to shout to the black guide, who, along with Pegtop, had taken the beasts into the wood in search of provender. " Ayez le bontd de dunnez moi mon cheval ? Bringibus the horsos, Massa Bungo —venya los quqdrupedos- 7 -makehaste, vile, macho, macho." Come, there is my Massa Aaron once more, at all events, thought I; but oh, how unlike the Aaron of five minutes ago! " So, now let us mount, my boy," said he, and we shoved along, and presently the sun bid us goodbv, very abruptly, I will confess. "Cheep, cheep," sung the lizards—" chirp, chirp," sung the crickets—" snore, snore," moaned the tree toad—and it was night. THE EDINBURGH CABINET LIBRARY, VOL, XIII. AND XIV.

This useful little work is admirably calculated to facili tate the study of grammar, by rendering the subject more intelligible, and will be as valuable to the unlearned adult as to the infant-student. THE BRITISII FARMERS' MAGAZINE, NO. XXIX. Ridg way, London. The agriculturist will'find in thiS number some articles worthy of his attention, and the statesman some valuable hints respecting the corn law question, and on " the home colonization of the poor." We perfectly agree in opinion with the author of the latter paper, "that the industrious labourer is, when employed, a source of Wealth to the state where he resides;" and most cordially assent to his position "that to send such persons forth from our shores is to send forth the very foundation of our strength." To us emigration has always been a subject fraught withme lancholy reflections, for we cannot view otherwise than with deep regret the drains upon the life blood of Eng land caused by this voluntary expatriation of our -" bold peasantry, the country's pride" to other countries, that will the sooner by this accession of strength be in a position to defy—perhaps to anni hilate us as a nation. On inquiry we believe it will be found that emigrants are invariably persons desirous of living by honest industry, and that a real or supposed want of a proper field for the exertion of that industry is the reason why they fly from home, country, a•ad friends, to encounter the horrors of almost savage life in the wilds of Africa or America. The political unionists and pot house politicians, the turn-outs, or the thieves of London, Birmingham or Liverpool, are content to prey upon the industry of others ; for them the prospect of a workhouse in old age has neither shame nor terror ; when such as these emigrate, it is "by compulsion" and at the state's expense. _ _ To stem the tide of emigration, the author of the pa per before us proposes that an experimental parish shall be formed out of one of the tracts of waste land belonging to the crown, - consisting of allotments of land to indus trious busbandrnen, of not less than seven acres each, to be cultivated by the spade, on. which he proposes that small inexpensive cottages shall be built; the cottager to •be charged a moderate rent that will reimburse the state for the outlay of the required capital. On this sub ject he observes that " the legislature, but the other day, voted twenty millions for the emancipation of slaves, and for this money no interest is to be received, neither is any part of it to be repaid ; a vote of one twentieth part of that sum would be sufficient for the present, and would serve for the founding of eighteen parishes such as those contemplated, and would put 5,400 industrious families, consisting of at least 32,400 individuals, in a way of earn ing an independent and comfortable subsistence ; and •at the same time increasing, to an immense extent, the national wealth." We cannot at present enter into the details of this scheme, but we think it one deserving of attention. THE LIVERPOOL MEDICAL GAZETTE ; OR, MONTRLY JOURNAL OF MEDICINE, AND TILE COLLATERAL SCIENCES.

TUN BNGEISII CHCRCII.---Let us be spared the painful task of tracing the fatal consequences of the extinction of religion among us. They are indeed such as no man who is ever so lit tle interested fur the welfare of his country can contemplate without the deepest concern. The very loss of out Church Es tablishment, though, as in all human institutions, some defects may be found in it, would in itself be attended with the most fatal consequences. No iirudent man dares hastily pronounce how far its destruction might not greatly endanger our civil in stitutions. It would not be difficult to prove that the want of it would also be in the highest degree injurious to the cause of Christianity; and still more, that it would take away what ap pears from experience to be one of the most probable means of its revival. To what a degree might even the avowed prin ciples of men, not altogether without religion, decline, when our inestimable Liturgy should no longer iemain in use. A Liturgy justly inestimable, which continually sets before us a faithful mode of the Christian's belief, and practice, and lan guage restraining us, as far as restraint is possible, from exces sive deviation, furnishing us with abundant instruction when we would return into the right path; affording an advantageous ground of no • little value to such instructors as still adhere to 'the good . old principles of the'Church of England; in short, daily shaming us by preserving a livin g represe nt a ti o n'of the opinions and habits of better times, as some historical record Which reproaches a degenerate posterity by exhibiting the wor: 'thier deeds of their progenitors. In such a state of things, to what a depth•publie morals might sink may be anticipated by those who consider what would then be the condition of society; who reflect how bad principles and vicious conduct mutually aid each other's operation, and how, in particular, the" formei make sure the ground which the latter may have gained; • whip remember that, in the lower orders the system of honour and the responsibility of character are wanting, which in the supel rior classes,. in some poor degree, supply the place of higher principles. It is well for the happiness of mankind that such a coinmunity could not long subsist. The cement of society be. ing no more, the state would soon be dissolved into intlividu aLty.— Ifrilbryforess, INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

He was ques tio:ied by Mr. Commissioner Bowen, and his answers having been considered satisfactory, he was about to be discharged, when it was discovered by the learned commissioner that there had been no advertisement in a country newspaper, which was requisite in order to comply with the rules of the court, the in solvent having carried on business and contracted debts in the country. Mr. Commissioner Bowen told the insolvent that he felt much for him, but he must remain in prison for three weeks loiwer. ,P •. I Ile insolvent, who seemed quite dejected upon hearing that information, wished to know the reason. Mr. Commissioner Bowen--It is through the negligence of your attorney. He should have advertised your case in a country paper, but he has not done so. It is very unfortunate, but I cannot give you any assistance ; the Act is imperative. The insolvent thought it very hard to be obliged to remain in prison three weeks longer. Mr. Commissioner Bowen—lt is very hard, and it is a won der that actions are not brought against attorneys by insolvents for such dereliction of duty. In Durham an action was brought by an insolvent against his attorney for having neglected to do his duty, and I know that the attorney was very glad to com promise by paying the costs and giving him £3O. Much good would result if similar actions were brought ; but I suppose that insolvents generally have not the means. The insolvent was remanded for the purpose of having an advertisement inserted in a country paper. A LADY PLUNDERED IN A GAMING-HOUSE, An application for a warrant, under very singular circum stances, was made on Tuesday by a gentleman to Mr. Chambers, in the magistrates' private room,,at Marlborough-street Police-: office. The following particulars, obtained from good sources, transpired during the application : The applicant, an officer in the army, and a frequenter of. some of the gaming-houses in St..James's, wished the magis-: trate to grant a warrant for the apprehension of eight indivi duals, who composed a gambling gang, and whose establish ment was in a court not far from Bury-street. He had the clearest evidence to prove that these eight persons were the principals of the gaming establishment, and were co-partners in the plunder obtained from the frequenters of the house, which evidence he was willing to bring forward, in order to in sure a conviction against them. He could bring forward par-. ties who had been plundered of their money, and in particular' the following recent instance :—A lady of his acquaintance, from curiosity or from some.other less pardonable motive, hay- . ing a strong cesire to see the interior of a gambling-house, bad the consummate folly, as well as indelicacy, to dress herself in male attire, and to obtain the entree of the hell, kept by the in dividuals against whom he sought to obtain a warrant. She , was soon marked out by the confederates, who, however, had . not any suspicion of her sex, and, havinc , been prevailed upon. to sit down to the table, she, in a .very short time, *as stripped of upwards of £1,500. The applicant added, that if the magis trate granted the warrant, he would give every assistance to wards identifying the parties. Mr. Chambers said he could not grant the warrant upon the grounds which had been laid before him. The law had been altered on the subject of gaming -houses, and now, in cases' where it was proposed to indict persons for keeping such a place, it was necessary that two housekeepers should first come before a magistrate and lay their complaint. Mr. Bryant, one of the overseers of St. James, being in the office, was sent for into the room, and asked if he thought the parish, with the information and assistance which the applicant professed to be willing to afford them, would choose to proceed in the matter. _ Mr. Bryant replied, that he considered It was a perfect waste of the parish fund to apply it to the prosecution of gaming-house keepers. The gamblers were so confederated together that no sooner was one house suppressed than some one of the confe derates had another house prepared for the purpose. The pa .rish had recently spent upwards of £2OO in prosecuting such cases, but, instead of having obtained an abatement of the nui sance, an increase had occurred; for where one gaming-house had been shut up two others had sprung up in its place, under the auspices of some of the partners of the one extirpated. The applicant was very urgent for a warrant, but it was ulti mately refused. It has not unfrequently happened that persons applying to lay informations, under circumstances similar to those stated by the applicants, have had an interested motive in view ; and in some cases where proceedings have been commenced they .havn compounded with the gamblers, and, as the withdrawal of their evidence has been thus secured, the prosecution has failed and the expense fallen on the parish. THE WHIGS ON BOTH SIDES. Those who hold power by pandering to popular passion have been, in all ages and in all countries, either the designing or ignorant fosterers of revolution. The Whigs in England who have "nourished disobedience," and thereby "fed the ruin" of the state, are now assailed by the wickedness of their own policy; and who is there in the empire to pity or defend them, except the miserable hirelings whom they pay and despise ? They have suffered "those who cannot rule, nor ever will be ruled," except by a rigorous administration of the law, to wax wanton in the fellowship of principles which honest men, who regard the. in fluence of religion, law, peace:and order, would instantlycheck. They have fed the tiger, and it is not strange that the tusks of their pet savage are now fleshed in their own entrails. If they only were to suffer, they would find public sympathy a shield of gossamer between themselves and the passions which they have nurtured into the fell madness that ever characterizes the strength of insubordinate numbers. But in pampering democracy they have been raising a spirit which they possess not power to lay. Nothing but blood will satisfy it. 1 hose who have given liberty and repressed licentiousness will suffer fir the crimes of a government that has practised open treason against the peace and happiness of the country, ever since it came into power.— We have said before, and we say now, that there are traitors in the camp. It is impossible that any set of men could, with the profligate insolence of democracy rising into giant strength before their eyes, and menacing their own authority, be struck into mere infatuation. No—the resistance to law has be come too startling and formidable to permit cowards to sleep upon their post. There is evidently a mystery in the conduct of the Whigs, which we confess ourselves unable to solve, according to any conceivable theory, except such as involves deliberate treason against the constitution.— They have advanced step by step, and at every stage of their progress h ave b een com p e ll e d t o f ee l th a t their own govern ment was nothing but an iniquitous compromise with disorder and contempt for law. The power which they . encouraged soon perceived that they wanted either the disposition or the ability to restrain it; and what now is their situation in England, that is said to stand aloft among nations, as the land of peace and liberty? Why that they have conceded away the conservative principle of the constitution, which gave equal and due power to the different orders of the state, each in the proportion best adapted to promote its separate welfare. From emancipation they have come to reform, from reform-to the barefaced spolia tion of the Irish Church, to the destruction of Irish Protestant institutions, and to the complete subversion of British con nexion in this country; and all this to please the most lawless of the Irish people. In England has concession produced satisfac tion ? Let the present illegal resistance to the payment of the assessed taxes answer that question. In Ireland has their base semi Popish policy produced peace or quiet? Let their despi cable crouching to O'Connell, and his powerful grasp over the passions of a stAvaee brood, whose religion is essentially slavish, answer it. Let blood, murder, crime, sedition, turbulence, and the trampled rights of property answer it. The Whigs see all tins as well as others; but why they pursue a system of govern ment founded upon the recognition of the people as being the only legitimate order of the state, to the exclusion of the king and the n o bility, is, as we said, an enigm a n o t t o b e s o lved with out - the imputation of deliberate treason against other estates. When Lord Wellesley came a second time to us, and, in language which savoured more of the policy of the closet than the honesty of the heart, declared his determination to govern the country by an impartial administration of the laws, we said that his speech was only the hollow echo of whiggish falsehood. What we said then, the short period of his government has al ready verified. We did not augur well front him, and he is likely to outstrip our anticipations. What Lords Anglesey and Stanley were, in their worst acceptation, will far transcend the best of Lords Wellesley and Littleton. Neither government administered the laws; but both have existed as an imperium in imperio to resist their execution, or to bead them to the depres sion of one party and the elevation of another. When the laws are made a mockery by those who should vindicate their dig nity, it is very natural that the seditious man and the murderer should follow the example of the Government, and trample them under foot. Lord Anglesey made generosity at the ex pense of peace and justice, his amusement, and his generosity too, only reached one party. What he did, however, front vanity and a love of low popularity, Lord Wellesley and his son in-law do from a worse, because a less honourable motive. The release of the Ederney rioters, the dismissal of Colonel Blacker, one of the most high-minded and impartial magis trates in the kingdom, together with the procession of a Protes tant Queen's representative to a Popish chapel, attended by a guard of honour, all speak unequivocally as to the party which will be predominant in the country. Indeed we do not see the use of judges or juries, or laws at all, it' the Irish Government, bearing down their legal authority, thus continues to insult and mock themie cases where " Catholics" incur the penalties an nexed 'to them by violence and outrage. This, however, is the illustration of a whig'b promise, fairness and impartiality to all classes of his Majesty's subjects."—Dablen Eveiting A PORTRAIT, AFTER ANACREON. Painter 1 paint me, if you can, I reland.s sturdy lieggarman— You shall paint him as I tell ye— With a round and portly belly ; • Brownish wig, well oil'd and curly, On his nob, - so big and burley ; Let his bronzy eyebrows pass O'er a forehead gilt with brass; And his eves, as blue as lead, Peep through rims of gummy red' With th' expression of the ox, Mingle well the traits of fox— So that if their staring fulness Indicate the bullock's dulness, Yet their twinkling way of running May develope Reynard's cunning. Let his Mug be p.;.mp and jolly, Fat with roguery, more than folly ; Stretch the mouth from ear to ear, Grinning with a devilish sneer. Paint the nostrils cocked and spacious— Snuffing round and round—" sagacious Of the quarry" near at hand -That's "its own—his native land." And to fix expression due On each lineament and hue, Let the visage emulate a Prating lump of a potato. Then, in vesture of his clan, Rig me this Bull-Beggarman. On his hack's prodigious mould Be the blanket strapped and rolled. From each shoulder sling a sack Crammed till one would swear 'twould crack, Hang behind, on either hip. Here a wallet—there a scrip, From his neck be hung, before. Satchels half a dozen or more ; One for meal and one for salt— This to hold the tax on malt— That for pocketing the rent— Th' others for the poll-tax meant. And (if not forbid by dirt—) Put a pocket in his shi r t. Paint him then with hat in band Stationed on his begging-staml. 'Wheedling, blustering—bullying coaxing--- Swaggering sometimes—always hoaxing Craving now with gestures dumb-- Thunuering then his " Fee-fa w-fum I— " Money—money—till my purse Do i—or for you 'twill be the worse !" Then, as some half starving PAT Drops a halfpenny in the hat, . Let the cocked ears catch the tinkle. Give the eyes a knowing twinkle, And the nose aside-long tweak While the tongue distends the cheek. Simple reader, if you can Shun this great Bull-Beggarman. —Dublin 'reins .Vail. Emporto. AFRICA.
