ttrp. NATIONAL MERCIES AND NATIONAL POWER A STIMULUS TO MISSIONARY EXERTION, BY MISS M. A. STODDART. . (Frans the Church of England Magazine.) rsaw, as I stood on a foreign strand, A gallant ship of my native land, With lofty mast, and with pennon on high, Sail forth from the port triumphantly. And 0 what thoughts of the isle of the brave, Rush'd warm from my heart, as I look'd on the wave, And saw the good ship in the freshening gale, With her red-cross flag and her snowy sail! St. George's banner! we love the sound; It hath firmly stood in the battle's bound ; It bath proudly way'd mid the can non ' s roar ; And been clasp'd to bosoms all red with gore. On sea and on land it bath seen the close Of England's grapples with deadliest foes ; And the densest smoke of the fiercest fight Hath ne'er sallied the badge of England's might. Our red-cross flag !—on the broad blue sea We mark it, the badge of the bold and free ; For a thousand years on the foaming tide, Our country's symbol, our seamen's pride, But while on the ocean-banner we gaze, While our hearts are swelling with grateful praise, Let us stand to our trust, and he true to our Lord, And send to poor heathen the light of his word. 'Tis not till the warrior to earth is pressed, That he wraps his solours around his breast ; And God, who bath shewn,himself strong to aid, Hath given us " a banner to be displayed,"— Tis the word of his truth • and as wide as the world Be that glorio us b anner o f love unfurl'd, That where'er our flag waves, there a message of faith May point sinners to Him who redeem'd them from death. LITERARY NOTICES. Blaekwood's Magazine. September, 1839. The first and last articles in the present number are of a political nature. The opening article treats of " The Char tists and Universal Suffrage," and contains many serious warnings, to which it will be well for this country to attend " while there is yet time" to avert the threatened con sequences of the present revolutionary movements. The concluding article contains some pungent remarks on " The Court—the Cabinet—the Country. " The writer shows very little mercy towards the degraded Whigs. We cordially recommend to the notice of the lovers of , the fine arts the very sensible paper on " The Royal Academy and its Exhibitions." It cannot be dispassionately perused without advantage. The essay on the " French Literature of the Eighteenth Century" is exceedingly clever, and does ample justice to the subject. There is much original information in the well-written article on " The Cossacks." The in cidental remarks on the policy of Russia which it contains are highly valuable. The sparkling essay on " Song-Writing' , is in Christopher's best style. " The Bellmanship" is a highly ludicrous story. The sketch of the life of " Henry Grattan" contains many very interesting particulars. " Rot your Italianos--By a Man behind his Age," is the quaint title of an article strongly ridiculing the meretricious taste of the present age, especially in musical matters. Fraser's Magazine. September 1839. This is a splendid number. Dr. Maginn's learned and amusing critique on " Dr. Farmer's Essay on Shakespeare" will afford a rich treat to the scholastic reader." A Ramble in St. James's Bazar" contains some sensible remarks on the designs for the Nelson monument. " The Devils' Diary ; or Temptations" promises to be a capital tale. The transla tion of the " Comedies of Lucian" -proceeds with great success. Under the title of " New Educational Gems ; or, a Brace, of Scripture Perversions," we have some very per tinent and searching comments on the Socinian and Popish versions of the sacred scriptures. The dishonesty of both these versions is amply and satisfactorily proved. " Basche's Wedding" is a very quaint production in Chaucer's ortho graphy. There is much learning displayed in the continuation of the elaborate article on " The Trinity of the Gentiles." We are glad to find the " Blue Friar Pleasantries" resumed. The cursory remarks on " The Fetes of July" are lively and entertaining. " What is our real Position ?" is the title of a powerful political article, which we especially recommend to the notice of our conservative friends. The views which it embodies are sound and truly constitutional. Dublin University Magazine. September, 1839. This is an excellent number. The first article, embracing an elaborate view of the proceedings of " Lord Roden's Committee on the State of Crime in Ireland," is alone worth the price of the magazine. The analysis which it gives of the evidence relating to the Ribbonite conspiracy ought to be read with attention by all who feel any interest in the welfare of the sister island. The continuation of the " Confessions of Harry Lorrequer" is as full of laughable incident as ever. We hope our facetious and mirth-provoking friend Harry does not intend to wind up his confessions, after the fashion of " Boz" and his imitators, in twenty numbers. We do not think the reading public will let him off so easily. The re view of " Alison's French Revolution" is carefully and dis passionately written, as, indeed, are all the critiques in this excellent magazine. The continuation of " The Journal of Francaise Krasinka" fully sustains the interest excited by the former parts. The paper on " Nov Zealand" contains sonic very judicious animadversions on the emigration schemes recently propounded in reference to those fertile and beautiful islands. " The Man on the Mast" is a powerfully written tale, with a conclusion by no means satisfactory. The article on ." The Australian Emigration Society" abounds with practical information of the highest importance. The Church 3fagazine. September, 1839. London Wertheim. This number of the Church Magazine contains a portrait and a memoir of the Rev. Hugh Stowell, M.A., Incumbent of Christ Christ, Salford. The portrait is well executed, and the brief biographical sketch is impartially written. The ar ticle on " National Education" is deserving of the vattention of every Christian reader. The paper on " The Origin and Meaning of the word Catholic" is a consummate piece of ab surdity, which could only have been perpetrated by a writer possessing no claim whatever to the character of a biblical scholar. The miscellaneous correspondence in the present number breathes the same spirit of rancourous bigotry as in former numbers. Why do not the writers in the Church Ma gazine occasionally treat their readers with a few articles on the doctrine, of the Church of England ? The Christian Observer. September, 1829. London Hatchards. We cordially recommend this truly orthodox magazine to the notice of every Churchman. It is a fearless and uncom promising opponent of Popery and Dissent on scriptural pounds. Its articles on Puseyism are extremely valuable. The present number contains several articles of great inte rest. The Polytechnic Journal, No. 1. September, 1839. We have been highly delighted with the perusal of this very interesting magazine. It displays talent of the highest order, and embraces the discussion of subjects of the highest possi ble importance. We admire the tone of candour and modera tion which pervades every article in the present number. A mere glance at the table of contents will suffice to show the great variety of topics which are treated upon. In the num ber before us we have remarks on "The Royal Academy"— " Pretenders to the British Throne"—" Music in Turkey"— " The Harmoniphon"---" Foreign Art"—" Ancient and Modern Art"—" Young and Old Masters"—" The As tronomy of the Book of Job"—" On Life Assurances, An nuities, and Reversions"—" The Conductibility of Heat in Metals"—" The Construction of Railway Carriages"--" The supposed influence which the roughness or smoothness of Surfaces exercises upon the emissive power of bodies"—" The Revived Elizabethan and Renaissance Styles"—" The an cient national Music of Scotland"—" The College for Civil Engineers"—" Schools of Design"—" The Bude Light"— " Progress of E ngravi ng"—" The Construction of Chimneys" —" The present state of the Arts in Ireland"—" Judicial Astrology," &e., &c. This list of subjects is alone sufficient to recommend the Polytechnic Journal to public notice. We cordially wish it a long and prosperous career. Confessions of Harry Lorrequer. illustrated by Phiz. No. 7. Dublin : Curry, Jun., and Co. We are glad to learn that these amusing Confessions are becoming increasingly popular in this country. They only want to become more generally known, in order to become universal favourites with the British public. For ourselves we prefer the fan and frolic of our rollicking friend Harry to the quaint wit and sly humour of the great " Boz" himself. The illustrations by Phiz are capital. The adventures related in the present number are highly laughable. Charley Chalk; or the Career of an Artist. With illustra tions by Jacob Parallel. No. 3. London : Berger. This work is characterised by great vigour and freedom of style. Some of the descriptive sketches are highly spirited and graphic. The illustrations by Jacob Parallel are executed with ability, and display considerable artistical power. Most of the incidents in Charley Chalk, strange as many of them must appear, are said to be founded upon facts. They verify the ad;ge that " truth is stranger than fiction." Review of the Session. Speech of the Right Hon. Lord Lyndhurst, delivered in the House of Lords, on Friday, August 23,1839. London : James Fraser. We are glad to find that Mr. Fraser has reprinted for general distribution this admirable speech. We trust that it will, through the medium of the different conservative associations in the country, as well as through the instru mentality of private individuals, obtain an extended circula tion. Its perusal cannot fail to produce a desirable effect. A lett - .er to the Middle Classes on the present disturbed State of the Country, especially with reference to the Chartist Meetings. By Montagne Gore, Esq. London : Fraser. There is an exceedingly sensible and judicious letter, con taining much sound advice, and conveying many solemn and seasonable warnings, to which it will be well for the middle classes of our country to give heed. It is published in a very cheap form, and ought to be extensively circulated. A Reply to the Letters of Daniel O'Connell M.P. addressed to Me Ministers and Office-Bearers of the Wesleyan Methodist Society. By Samuel Wright, F. R. B. S. E. London : Hamilton, Adams, and Co. In this admirable reply the monstrous fictions and bare faced assumptions of the Irish demagogue areexposed with unsparing severity. The author has triumphantly vindicated the venerable founder of the body to which he belongs from the vile aspersions and unfounded charges in which the arch agitator indulged. In the hands of Mr. Wright, O'Connell appears but as an infant. A New Work on the Dispersion and Restoration of the Jews, the Cleansing of the Sanctuary, the Second Coming of Christ, His peaceable Reign with His Saints, and the End of the World. By Samuel Kent. Liverpool: S. Kent and Co. From a specimen of this work with which we have been favoured we think it will constitute a valuable addition to the number of our commentaries on unfulfilled prophecy. The Christian ending his Days in Peace. A Sermon, preached in St. Andrew's Church, Liverpool, on the 18th of August, 1839, being the Sunday after the Interment of the late John Eden, Esq. By the Rev. J. Jones, M.A. Liverpool: Newling. . This is an affectionate tribute of respect to the memory of a gentleman whose sterling worth and integrity, and un deviating consistency as a christian, had long endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Mr. Eden was one of the Trustees of the church in which this sermon was preached. The text which Mr. Jones has selected is extremely appropriate.—" Mark the perfect man, and be hold the upright ; for the end of that man is peace." The Poetical Works of the Rev. R. Montgomery, A.M. New Edition, revised by the Author. VoL 3. Containing the Omnipresence of the Deity, with other Poems. Glas gow : John Symington and Co. We are not aware when this volume was forwarded to us, as it got mislaid, through some accident or other, in the office of this paper. We have derived great pleasure from a cursory perusal of its contents, which seem to us much superior in poeti cal merit to any thing contained in the preceding volumes. The " Poem on the Omnipresence of the Deity" is exceed. ingly beautiful, abounding with passages possessing undoubted claims to the character of sublime. Many of the mis cellaneous poems are likewise characterised by great power and originality of conception. The work is very neatly got up, and reflects the highest credit upon the publisher. We wish this elegant edition of Mr. Montgomery's Works (which have now become a part of our standard literature) an extended circulation. When the series is completed, it will form a very handsome present. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. ENLISTMENT OF SEAMEN.—THE REVENGE. —ANOTHER INSULT FROM THE FRENCH ! (From the Cork Constitution.) England now feels the pinch of an ill-judged econo my. While offices are created that pride may be pam pered, influence extended, dependents provided for, and indolence maintained in affluence, the public service is starved, our commerce is cramped, the flag that ought to protect it is dishonoured, and our ships, instead of commanding the element on which once they rode in triumph, are lying lazily in port begging for bands to man them. Is this the way things ought to be in Eng land ? The Revenge has now been three weeks in our harbour. How many seamen has she obtained ? How many in Limerick ? How many in Waterford ? In the first, the number, we believe, might be easily told; and as to the two latter, let the following paragraph from the Waterford Mail of yesterday answer : " The enlistment of seamen for her Majesty's ship Re venge, 74, now lying at Cove, is going on at a sorry rate. The tender to the Shamrock, revenue cruiser, now lying opposite the. Custom-house Quay, is solitary enough ; and though numerous rendezvous for the Revenge have been established in Limerick and elsewhere, the officers belonging to them possess something like a sinecure in that depart ment ; the men are not coming forward ; and this will be the case as long as the Merchant service, or that of ' Brother Jonathan,' present greate r advantages than the British Ma rine. The refuse of the merchant ships, and in a very few instances some good men may enter, but that 's all; A re course to the impressment system is rumoured in case the several ships requiring it do not obtain their complement of men : the remedy might be found even worse than the dis ease. The present system must be changed." Yes, if we are to have a navy, " the system must be changed." Impressment will not do. Apart from its injustice and its cruelty—its outrage on the affections and the relationships of private life, it will not do. It is alien to the constitution and to the spirit of the country. Nothing but the last extremity can justify it, and even then its policy is questionable. It renders the navy a terror to men for whom the cannon has no fear —an object not of attraction but of repulsion —not of exultation but of shame. Besides, it is an injury to the service. Men cannot discharge heartily duties to which they are fore*, and at the first opportunity they will escape, and carry to other navies the skill which they have acquired in our own. Unfortunately there is no occasion for an impellant such as this. In the last American war our desertions, even where the sailors had entered voluntarily, were to be reckoned by hundreds, and among those who fought us most successfully were men who had been trained on our own decks. So will it be in the next, should another unhappily arise, for it will be impossible to re tain men in a service which, compared with the Ame rican, remunerates them so inadequately as ours. Let any one look at Captain Marryatt's volumes, and see the, to ti. 9, disgraceful disparity that exists. But Ame rica understands her business. She knows what men are made of, and she knows that if their services are required they must be paid for, and pay she does, and with a liberal hand, Hence, though the sea is with her own citizens anything but a favourite occupation, she never wants a crew, and hence it is that our ships are so often obliged to wait months together for hands to navigate them, while those which a just rate of re muneration would so easily procure are carrying to other lands the bravery, the enterprise, and the science so much needed in our own. • And what is the result of this ? Why that we have so much sunk in the estimation of the world that scarcely an arrival from abroad but brings us an ac count of some fresh injury or insult. To the instances already given, we have now to add another. An Ame rican paper contains the following. We copy it from the Sun : " Monte Video, June s.—Th e B r iti s h packet from Rio Janeiro (the Spider, Lieutenant O'Reilly,) entered this port last night, and just as she was anchoring she was fired intb (musket-shot) by the French corvette Le Perle, which broke the arm of one of the seamen on board the packet. This affair has created considerable excitement, particularly among the British. The Frenchman has made lots of apologies. We shall probably hear in a few days the result of the in quiry into the affair." We have asked•repeatedly, how long are these things to continue ? As to the " lots of apologies," they are all very well from a Frenchman. They cost him little, and will probably be deemed sufficient by Lord Pal merston ; but what avail they to the poor fellow whose arm has been broken ?—what would they have availed to him had his life been taken ? . There is no one more anxious for the continuance of what is called a " good understanding" between the two countries than we are; but if it is to continue these outrages must be checked. The Government may look complacently on, but the country will not. British blood will not always bear them. It has not long been inured to insult, and we dare say it requires all the power of British discipline to restrain it. BRIDGEWATER HOUSE.—Lord Francis Egerton, before quitting town for Worsley Hall, gave directions for the entire demolition of this edifice, in order that the construction of the new mansion may be commenced without delay. The house is to be razed to the ground forthwith, and the internal fittings-up, portico, &c. are to be sold in lots for building materials. The splendid gallery of paintings, which formerly belonged to the Duke of Bridgewater, have been removed pro tern, to his lordship's brother's, the Duke of Sutherland. INTERESTING TO SPORTSMEN.---A gentleman, a friend of ours informs us, that as he was ascending Cheviot t'other day, he descried three brace of red grouse to pass over him. On reaching Hen-hole, he observed to a friend whom he met with, " Upon yonder hill I saw plenty of red grouse, but no black cook." "No ; that hill is solely possessed by red grouse, who will not permit black game to reside upon it. I myself one day came upon a red grouse and a black cock, both so exhausted by fighting as to enable me to seize both." This fact is the more remarkable, as the black cock is a much heavier bird than the red grouse.—Staffordshire Gazette. THE FALLING STARS AND AURORA BORE ALES.—Between the hours of ten oh Tuesday night and three on Wednesday morning, in the heavens were observed one of the most mag nificent specimens of that extraordinary phenomena the fall ing stars and of the northern lights ever witnessed for many years past. The first indication of this singular phenomenon was about ten minutes before ten, when a light crimson, ap parently vapour, rose from the northern portion of the hemi sphere, and gradually extended to the centre of the heavens, and by ten o'clock, or a quarter past, the whole,,from east to west, was one vast sheet of light. It had a most alarming ap pearance, and was exactly like that occasioned by a terrific fire. The light varied considerably, and at one time it seemed to fall, and directly after rose with intense brightness. There were to be seen mingled with it volumes of smoke, which rolled over and over, and every beholder seemed convinced that it was " a tremendous conflagration." The consterna tion in the metropolis was ve r y great, thousands of persons were running in the direction of the supposed awful catas trophe. The engines belonging to the Fire Brigade stations in Baker-street, Farringdon-street, Watling-street, Water loo-road, and likewise those belonging to the West of Eng land station, in fact every fire engine in London, were horsed, and galloped after the supposed " scene of destruction," with more than ordinary energy, followed by carriages, horseman, and vast mobs. Some of the engines proceeded as far as Highgate and Holloway before the error was discovered. These appearances lasted for upwards of two hours, and to wards morning the spectacle became one of more grandeur. At two o'clock this morning the phenomenon presented a most gorgeous scene, and one very difficult to describe. The whole of London was illuminated as light as day, and the atmosphere was remarkably clear. The southern hemisphere at the time mentioned, although unclouded, was very dark, but the stars, which were innumerable, shone beautifully. The opposite side of the heavens presented a singular, but magnificent, con trast ; it was clear to the extreme, and the light was very vivid ; there was a continual succession of meteors, which va ried in splendour. They apparently formed in the centre of the heavens, and spread till they seemed to burst ; the effect was electrical , myriads of small stars shot out over the hori zon, and darted with that swiftness towards the earth that the eye scarcely could follow the track ; they seemed to burst, also, and throw a dark crimson vapour over the entire hemi sphere. The colours were the most magnificent that ever were seen. At half-past two o'clock the spectacle changed to darkness, which, on dispersing, displayed a luminous rain bow in the zenith of the heavens, but round the ridge of dark ness that overhung the southern portion of the country. Soon afterwards column s o f silvery light radiated from it, they in creased wonderfully,- intermingled amongst crimson vapour, which formed at the same time ; and, when at the full height, the spectacle was beyond all imagination. Stars were darting about in all directions, and continued until four o'clock, when all died away. During the time that they lasted, a great many persons assembled on the bridges across the river Thames, where they had a commanding view of the heavens, and watched the progress of the phenomenon attentively.--Globe. POSTAGE. A Copy of the Minute of the Board of Treasury, relative to carrying into effect the Act for establishing a Reduced and Uniform Rate of Postage. My lords read the Act for the further ,regulation of the Duties of Postage, which received the royal assent on Satur day, the 17th inst. By this act my lords are invested with a power of carrying into effect the reduced and uniform rate of postage contem plated by Parliament, either according to the present mode of collecting the postage, or by pre-payment, collected by means of stamps, compulsory or optional. My lords feel the importance of the discretion with which parliament has invested them, affecting as it must the con venience of the public, the collection of the revenue, as well as the security and facility of the transmission of the corre spondence of the country. In comparing the advantages which may arise from the plan of pre-payment, by means of stamps, if such plan should be adopted, much m us t d epen d upon the stamp which may be employed. For the convenience of the public it is of the greatest importance that the mode selected should afford every facility for obtaining and using the stamp. It is also clear that the charge which will fall upon the public, in the shape of extra payment on account of the stamp itself, in ad= dition to the penny rate, must vary according to the nature of the stamp adopted. In the course of the inquiries and discussions on the sub ject, several plans were suggested, viz., stamped covers, stamped paper, and stamps to be used separately, and to be applied to any letter, of whatever description, and written on any paper. Before my lords can decide upon the adoption of any course, either by stamp or otherwise, they feel it will be useful that artists, men of science, and the public in general, may have an opportunity of offering any suggestions or proposals as to the manner in which the stamp may best be brought into use. 'With this view, my lords will be prepared to receive and consider any proposal which may be sent in to them on or be fore the 15th of October, 1839. All persons desirous of communicating with my lords on the subject are requested to direct.to the Lords of the Trea sury, Whitehall, marked " Post Office Stamp." My lords wiil be prepared to award a premium of £2OO to such proposal as they may consider the most deserving of attention, and £lOO to the next best proposal. My lords will feel at liberty to adopt, for the public ser vice, any of the suggestions which may be contained in any communications made to them, except, of course, where parties have any right seeured'by patent. The points which this board consider of the greatest im portance, are— - 1. The convenience, as regards the pUblic use. 2. The security from forgery. • 3. The facility of being checked and distinguished in the examination at the Post Office ; 'whi c h must o necessity be 4. The expense, of the production and circulation of the stamps. My lords will be prepared to receive and consider propo sals from foreign countries ; and they' desire that a copy of this minute be transmitted to Lord 'Palmerston, and that his lordship should be requested to take such measures as he may deem most advisable, through her Majesty's ministers abroad, for the purpose of making known the intentions of this board. They desire, also, that Lord Palmerston be requested to procure for my lords,'through her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, information respecting the system of stamps adopted in France, and specimens of the stamp, impression used in that country. Transmit a copy of this minute to the Postmaster General for his information and guidance. Whitehall, Treasury-chambers, Aug. 23. THE CANADAS.-APPOINTMENT OF MR POULETT THOMSON 4 The following correspondence has passed between the chair man of the British North American Association of this town, and Mt. Poulett Thomson, the new governor ofour possessions in North America, upon the subject of the right honourable gentleman's recgnt appointment : " Liverpool, September 3, 1839. " Sir,—AS chairman of the British North American As sociation, of this port, I have been requested to transmit to you the inclosed copy of a resolution passed at a meeting of that body this day.-1 have the honour to be, &c., " The Right Hon. C. P ou l e tt Thomson,A. PARtAIsIE. London.' " At a meeting of the British North American Association, of Liverpool, held the 3d day of September, 1839,—A. Parlane, Esq., in the chair,— " ' It was resolved,—That this association, having taken into their consideration the appointment of the Right Hon. C. Poulett Thomson as Governor-general of the Canadas, cannot altogether dismiss from their recollection the opinions which he has so frequently expressed, and the measures which he has advocated, opposed, as they consider, to the interests of those colonies and of this country; yet this association feels satisfied that the right hon. gentleman, in entering upon the duties of his high office, will devote himself to the calm consideration of the varied interests of those possessions, and trusting to his dispassionate view of the merits of this great e4&bject, and his increasing acquaintance with all its bearings, wilt:tem:Lie sensibly alive to the extent and value of the trade of our 'Monies in North America, and of the importance of its continuance to this country. " That a copy of this resolution be transmitted by the Chairman to the Right Hon. Poulett Thomson.' • MR. THOMSON'S REPLY. " 13, South Audley-street, Sept. 5, 1839. " Sir,—l have had the honour of receiving your letter of the 3d instant, inclosing a copy of resolutions agreed to at ft meeting of the British North American Association of Liver pool, at which you presided. " I beg you will do me the favour of conveying to the members of the association my assurance that no one can be more deeply impressed than I am with a just sense of the great value and importance of the trade of the North Ameri can possessions, and that it will be my earnest desire to pro mote by all the means in my power whatever may tend to as sist and increase it, as well as to adopt whatever measures may be for the advantage of the colonies entrusted to my go vernment:—l have the honour to be, Ike. ) " ' A. Parlane, Esq.' - - POULtTT THOMSON STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.--The business in our great woollen marts this week has undergone little variation from what we have ex■ perienced during several weeks past. A fair business is doing, principally in winter cloths, but the unpromising weather in the early part of the week caused the market on Tuesday to be rather dull. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a somewhat scanty at= tendance of buyers at our market on Thursday ) and tilt amount of business done was rathtt less than has been trans acted of late. Considering the litnited extent of the sales of manufactured gootls, the demand for yarn was very good, and former rates Were maintained ; but the wool market was very flat, and the sales limited. Prices underwent scarcely any variation. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. s.—There have not been so many buyers of long wools at market this week, and although there is no variation in prices, not so much busi , ness has been done. Blankets and clothing wools are with out alteration. BARNSLEY LINEN TnAnh.—The trade of this town re mains moderately good ; all hands are more or less em. ployed., OLDHAM. — Trade in cotton mills appears to improve al most every day. A few mills, however, are only working four days per week, but several firms have given notice that they will commence working full time next week, and if it shall continue to improve there is no doubt that the hands in all the factories will have full employment in a few days. The manufacturers have better prospects than they have had for many months past. The hatting branch is as good as can be expected at this season. At some shops the hands are busy in making women's bonnets for the winter. There are more being made this year than for many years past. Wages remain firm. ASIITON-UNDER-LYNE.—The manufacturers here expect to commence working the machinery in their mills full time n a few days ; they seem to think there will be a better :rade. SILK TRADE.—The silk dyers at many places have consi derably more work this week than they had a fortnight since. At some places in Manchester the dyers are very busy. Silk weaving at Middleton, Failsworth, Leigh, and other neigh bouring towns, near Manchester, has a better prospect than it had three weeks since. Figured work and fine satins are in particular request. Serges have again begun to be much inquired for, and this week masters have been seeking for weavers, yet some few sorts of silks are rather slack, but it is by no means general, for at some large firms they cannot get a sufficient number of hands. Wages for silk weaving are rather better than they were twelve months since. SONGS. (From Blackwood's Magazine. The honest old English song never was at a greater dis count than-in this most musical age. We do not get a decent one once a year; and, when we have that luck, it endures only for a week. Our modern fashionable ballads are the most execrable compounds pf mawkish sentimentality that ever melted the soul of a nursery maid—full of pale high brows, and dark flashing eyes, and long flowing tresses of raven blackness—strong spirit-yearnings, and heart-tempests of appalling violence. Unhappy music appears doomed henceforth to a perpetual state of ancient maidenhood ; for there is no longer any " i mmor t a l verse " to marry her to. Even good music, when burthened with the trashy words with which these days are afflicted, is, to my thinking, three parts ruined ; but this is a matter about which our modern musicians trouble their heads very little—words are made for tunes, not tunes for words ; and one would think they were made by contract into the bargain;; sometimes they rhyme, and for the most past seen ; but as to anything beyond, why, a black swan would be nothing to the rarity. Our list of modern song-writers (I do not mean mere metre-ballad_ mongers" and Havnes-Bayley-ites, but good honest song writers) is small indeed ' • of living o nes we h ave scarcely any. Moore seems to think he has done enough, and so he has, for fame ; for there is immortality enough and to spare in the Irish melodies. Allan Cunningham has written stirring strains—why is his pen idle ? Poor Captain Morris is dead ! —peace to his manes ! his songs (and so were Dibdin's) were superb in their way—that is, when men were seasonably well advanced in the second bottle. Of Burns, I fear I may say, little but the name is known in these parts, save to a few. Walter Scott has written some glorious songs, but who sings them ? and last, `'not least in o ur dear love," Felecia Hemans has penned some strains of passing beauty, which one would think the world would not willingly let die ; yet, are all these passing away silently to their oblivion, to be recalled, now and then, only by such old-fashioned folks as myself and the mayoress. We English, I suppose, neglect our own music more than any people upon the face of the earth, and with as little rea son for doing so. We are the most loan-loving nation under the sun; we borrow pretty nearly everything ;—our dresses, our habits of life, and now, at last, our music. We are not an idle people, nor a foolish people ; but somehow or other we have got hold of a notion that nothing of our own is worth a brass farthing, and everything belonging to every body else is worth its weight in gold. We go upon tick for taste, and we are put off with an inferior material into the bargain. I never yet heard an overture, or a fantasia, or a fugue, or an aria, that could stand any thing like a compari son with three-fourths of the old Irish and Scottish melodies which one scarcely dares call for, for fear of being stared down by a parcel of people who never even heard of their existence. Those of Scotland, in particular, have to me. though I am no Scotchman, an inexpressible charm. I could listen to " Auld Robin Gray," and Ye banks and braes," and " My love is like the red red rose," and fifty more that I could name, every night of my life, without being weary of them. These, after all, are the strains that come home to our hearts ; these are the sounds at which the very falling of a pin is an interruption " grating harsh discord" to our ears—which float around us in our slumbers—which haunt us in our rambles—which are with us in the woods and by the stream, lapping in an elysium of harmony the discordant and jarring passions of our most unm us i ca l " working-d a y world." The concert-room, with its " in tricacies of laborious song," moves our wonder and charms our ear ; but it stirs not our feelings : we are no more touched by " Vivi tu," much as we may applaud its execution, than we are by the street minstrel, whom we bribe with a whole penny to bestow his oft-repeated " All round my hat," on the unsuspecting inhabitants of some more diatant locality. SELECT EXTRACTS. Lieut. Vavnaghen, a German, in the Brazils, has made an important discovery, viz., that saw-dust (particularly of soft wood) mixed with gunpowder, in equal parts, has thrice the strength of powder alone, when used in blowing up rocks. REFRESHING THE MEMORY.—Making a halt in his reflec tions at this place, Mr. Spueers again put his glass to his lips, and drawing a dirty letter from his pocket, proceeded to con over its contents with the air of a man who had readit very often, and now refreshed his memory rather in the absence of better amusement, than for any specific information. "The pigs is well," said Mr. Squeers, " the cows is well, and the boys is boybish. Younr , Sprouter has been a winking, has he ? I'll wink him when I get back. `Cobbey would persist in sniffling while he was a-eating his dinner, and said the beef was so strong that it made him.' Very well Cobbey, we will see if we can make you sniff a little withbut beef. 'Pitcher was took with another fever,'—of course he was—' and being fetched by his friends, died the day after he got home,'—of course he did, and out of aggravation ; it's part of a deep-laid system. There an't another chap in the school but that boy as would have died exactly at the end of the quarter, taking it out of me to the very last, and then carrying his spite to the utmost extremity. ' The jtiniorest Palmer said he wished he was in heaven.'—l really don't know, Ido not know what's to be done with that young fellow ; he's always a-wishing something horrid.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER B.—Wind S MECHANICAL BRICK MAKING.—At the meeting of the British Association, at Birmingham last week, Mr. Cottam exhibited a model of a brick and tile making machine, invent ed by the Marquis of Tweddale, by which it was stated 30 bricks a minute, or nearly 30,000 bricks a day might be made, whilst a good moulder could only mould from 5000 to 8000 a day. The clay was put into the machine at one end and pas sing between two rollers was rolled into a long bar, which was cut into the required length of the bricks by a cutter worked, by the same wheel-work. The bricks on coming out at the opposite side of machine were carried by it to a distance of 200 yards, thereby saving a great amount of time and money in carrying, an operation usually performed by boys and wo men. As a proof of the superiority of the machine-made brick it weighed Bilbs, while a common brick weighed only 541bs. and the machine-made brick carried eight times the weight which the eoMinon brick would Sustain. • THE BOOT TORTURE.—I never could comprehend how, in an age that pretends so much to enlightened philantrophy, the race of modern boot makers should so long have escaped. extermination ; for assuredly no race or class of men ever in flicted so much suffering on mankind as the sons of Crispin have done. Breathes there the man who has never suffered from the pain of a corn or the pressure of a boot ? And yet, where is the remedy ? Ask the ablest surgeon in London to relieve you from the pain of a corn, and he will tell you that he'd soon be the richest man in England if he could effect such a cure. And yet the torturers are allowed to exist, and, to persevere in their practice, though we pretend to have 'abolished torture altogether. Talk of the tortures inflicted. by, the Inquisition, indeed ! why, the Inquisition only mar tyred a few individuals, from time - to time, to keep their hands in ; whereas shoe-makers torture the whole race of shoe-wearing men.—Fraser. THE DUTY OF CONSERVATIVES,—Sound Conservative views, which recognise the laws of God as paramount, and impress on subjects obedience - to their rulers as a matter of conscience, are alone calculated to ensure the peace and good order of civil soeiety, To do this effectually the public press must be employed, and in the struggle for superiority which is perpetually going on, Conservatives of influence must take their places as leaders, and maintain their principles in the press as well as in the senate. If they can take their lead in the former, there is little fear of their success in the latter. But if they suffer' the press adversely to take possession of the public mind they will, under otherwise even chances, be lo sers in the senate. Under peculiarly favourable circumstan ces they will make head against the stream of prejudice which will be continually bearing down upon them ; but the party which suffers itself to be unrepresented in the press, will, in the ordinary course of things, remain unrepresented in the senate.

John Brooks, A Nicol, 180 Laguira and Puerto Cabello, MEHEMET Am.—He was born at Cavalla, in Roumelia, and he told me he was the youngest of sixteen children. He was much indulged by his father and mother, and'was a great favourite‘bf his brothers and sisters. He once said to tne " Do not wonder if I am sometimes impatient, and want to have my own way. 1 was never used to contradiction. I have scarcely ever known misfortune. I was born under a smiling star, and that star has smiled upon me all my life through." I should tell you, that Mehemet Ali was forty six years old before he had learned tither to read or to write. This he told me himself. I have heard that he was taught by his favourite wife: But he is fond of reading now; and one day when I entered his divan unannounced, I found him quite alone, with his spectacles on, reading a Turkish vo lume, which he was m uc h enjoying; while a considerable pile of books were by his side. "It is pleasant relief," he said, " from public business ; I was reading some amusing Turkish stories" (probably the Arabian Nights) " and now let us talk—what have you to tell me ?" There is a great deal of sagacity in Mehemet Ali's conversation, particularly when he knows or discovers, as he usually does, the sort of infor- Mation which his visitor is most able to give. He discourses with engineers about mechanical improvements—with mili tary men on the art of war—with sea officers on ship build ing and naval manoeuvres---with travellers on the countries they have visited—with politicians on public affairs. He very willingly talks of foreign countries ; and princes, and st- tes men ; and is in the habit of mingling in the conversation of all sorts of anecdotes about himself, and .the events con nected with his history. His phrases are often poetical ; and he, like most (Mental!, frequently introduces proverbs and imagery. I heard hit once say, speaking of the agriculture of Egypt, " When I came to this country, I only scratched it with a pin ; I have now succeeded in cultivating it with a hoc • but soon I will h ave a p l oug h passing over the whole land." You asked me, George, if he were not a cruel prince; and that he certainly is not, for many a generous deed has he done, and seldom will it be found that the reign of a Turk ish sovereign is so little stained with bloOd: Mehemet Ali's great pride is Ibrahim Pacha; a victoriotis leader is always an object of tichniration among Mussulmans, and Ibrahim Pacha's career has been one of brilliant military sucdess. His father is fond of talking of his first born son, and in tended successor. " I did not know him," he said. " I had not an unbounded confidence in him for many, many years no, not till his beard was almost as long as my own, and 'even' changing its colour," said the pacha to nib; but now I can thoroughly trust him." On the part of Ibrahim Pacha, though in rank above his father (for the pacha of the holy cities is the first pacha of the Ottoman einpire), there ,is al-, ways the utmost deference to Mehemet Ali's will. For the most difficult circumstances of his life he has always referred to his renowned sire for advice ; and whenever he ha's been pressed by the representatives of the great powers of Europe, he has invariably answered; that he should abide by the in structions he received from hi! father.—Bowring's Minor Morals, Part 3. THE DELUGE UNIVERSAL.—Dr. Keith, author of " De monstrations of the Truth of Christianty," published in New York, on the subject of the flood, says :—" The memory of the deluge was not lost by any nation from the one extremity of the globe to the other; and in proof that the tradition was maintained through many ages, evidence of the same fact has been borne in modern times from China,' HituloStan; tlk islands of the Pacific, Mexico, and Peru, which concurs with the testimony, remote in time, as in place, which" Chaldea, Egypt, Persia, Greece, an d R ome , anciently supplied: 'The people of Mechoacan have preserved a tradition, according to which Cox-cox, whom they call Tezpi, embarked in a spa cious acalli with his wife and children, many animals and grain, the preservation of which was dear to the human race. When the Great Spirit commanded the waters to retire, Tcz pi sent forth from his bark a vulture. The bird nourished by dead flesh, did not return on account of the great number of carcasses which were scattered upon the newly dried earth. Tespi sent out other birds, of which the humming bird alone returned, bearing in its beak a branch covered with leaves. After which Tespi, seeing that the soil began to be covered with new verdure, left his bark near the mountain of Colhu acan." Everywhere' adds Humboldt, 'the traces of a common origin, the opinions concerning cosmogony, and the primitve traditions of nations, present a striking analogy even in minute circumstances. Does not the humming , bird of Tespi call to mind the dove of Noah, that of Deucalion, and the birds, according to Cerosus, which Xisutrus sent forth from the ark, to try if the waters bad subsided, and if as yet he could erect alters to the God of Chaldea.—Humboldt, Vines des Cordilleres, p. 227. The raven, no less than the dove, and the order no less than the name, the first, the ra venous bird not returning ; the second, for ever afterward the bird of peace, re-appearing and retiring, identify each narrative as the self same fact with a speciality of circum stances, which sober reason cannot misinterpret or mistrust. And the leafy twig in the bill of a little bird needs but to be traditionally brought back again from the extremity of the globe, where without the possibility of being transplanted anew, it had flourished for many ages in order to prove, at last, as fresh a testimony, to the old world and to the new, of the truth of the fact, as at first it was a sure token to the inmates of the ark, that they should soon tread on the reno vated earth. How, but as coming from the only surviving family of man, could the tradition have been preserved, sim ple and uncorrupted, in the midst of the remotest regions so long undiscovered. Oneof the world was unknown to the other, but the twig that a bird did bear was remembered by both ; nor was the leaf forgotten. It survived like the ark, in a bud again deluged where wor afore i ld 1 ant was blasted ."d it alone may show th a t f a ith may A POTTEEN SMUGGLER'S DARLINT.—A man who was known to have a large mountain farm and extensive home stead in these hills, was observed very frequently to ride into the town of B— ; and he never made his appearance with out a woman, supposed to be his wife, jogging steadily and uprightly on a pillions behind him. Ile was tall and gaunt in look ; she large and rotund, and encumbered, as is the mode of all country wives, with a multitude of petticoats they always rode into the yard of a man who kept a public house ; and before they alighted off their horse, the gate was carefully shut. It was known, moreover, that. this publican acted as factor for this farmer in the sale of his butter : and so for a length of time things went on in 'a quiet• and easy way, until one day it so happened -(as indeed it is very porn mon for, idlers in a very idle country town to stand - making remarks on the people as they come by) that the ganger, the innkeeper, and a squireen were lounging away their day, when the farmer slowly paced by with his everlasting wife lkhind him. " Well," says the squireen, "of all the women I ever see,v bumping on a pillion, that lump of ,aevornan sits the awlewerdest ; she don't sit like a natural born crathur at all; and- do you see how modest she is ?. What with her flapped down beaver hat, and all the frills and fallals about her, not an inch of her- sweet face - is to be seen', no more than an owl from out the ivy. I have a great mind to run up alongside of her, and give her a pinch in the toe, to make old buckram look about her for once.' " Oh, let her alone," says the innkeeper ; " th ey ' re a deme n t couple from Joyce country. I'll be bound, what makes her sit so stiff is all the eggs she is bringin' in to Mrs. O'Mealey, who factors the butter for them." There was, while he said this, a cun ning leer about the innkeeper's mouth, as much as to denote that there was, to his knowledge, however he came by it, something mysterious about this said couple ; this was not lost on the subtle guager, and he thought it no harm just to try more about the matter; and so he says in a frolicsome way, " Why, then, for curiosity sake, I will just run up to them, and give the mistress a pinch--sonnewhere ; she won't notice me at all in the crowd, and maybe then she'll look up. and. we'll see her own purty face." Accordingly, no sooner said than done : he ran over to where the farmer was getting on slowly through the market crowd ; and on the side of the pillion to which the woman's back was turned, at tempted to give a sly pinch, but be might as well have pinched a pitcher; nor did the woman even lift up her head, or ask " Who is it that's hurting me ?" This emboldened him to give another knock with his knuckles; and this assault he found not opposed as it should be by petticoats and flesh, but by what he felt to be petticoats and metal. This is queer, thought the guager : he now was more bold, and with the butt-end of his walking-stick he hit what was so hard a bang which sounded as if he had struck a tin pot. " Stop here, honest man," cried the guager. " Let my wife alone, will you, before the people ?" cried the farmer. " Not till I see what this honest woman is made of," roared the guager. So he pulled, and the farmer dug his heels into the colt. to get on, but all would not do ; in the struggle down came wife and all into the street ; and as she fell on the pavement, the whole street rang with the squash, and in a moment there is a gurgling as from a burst barrel, and a strong-smelling water comes flowing all about ; and flat poor Norah lies, there being an irruption of all her intestines, which flowed 'down the gutter as like potteen whiskey as eggs are like eggs. The fact was, that our friend from the land of Joyce had got made, by some tinker, a tin vessel with head and body_the shape of a woman, and dressed it out as a proper country dame ; in this way he carried his darlint behind him, and made much of her.—Otway's Tour in Connaught.

Peas, and 620 brls. of Flour..• The weather, during the same period, has been variable, with occasional very heavy rains; still, the trade has been void of specitlation ; but, on Tuesday, a large amount of business was done in Wheat, amongst the millers and dealers, at an advance of 3d. to'4(l. per bushel on the quota tions of this (lay se'nnight : there has since.. been no further change.—Flour has moved slowly without alteration in value.—Old Oats have brought an advance of fully Id. per bushel : 4s. 3d. was paid, yesterday, for fair Irish; a few new, very soft, and the only arrival, sold at 4s. per 451bs.—The great scarcity of Oatmeal has enabled holders to ob_taiu, upon a verylimited demand; an advance of 6d. per load. The best Irish is now worth 375. per 2401b5. Grinding Barley continues in request at 4s. 8(1. to 4s. 10d. per 68Ibs.—Several parcels of inferior Peas have been bought, for feed ing purposes, at 386. to 41s. per quaiter; and Beans have sold freely at rather over our previous quotations.

Carter, Esq. and H. J. Sanderson, E9q. -Treasurer, R. W. Bateson,.Esq. Chaplain, Rev. Mr. Connor.—House Surgeon, Mr. Highmore, AURORA BoßEAms.—On Tuesday night, this phenome non, which of late years has been of such frequent occurrence in this kingdom, was remarkably apparent at Ripon. Though unattended with those rapid coruscations which are generally observed in its appearance, its change from one position to another in the heavens, took place with considerable, though almost imperceptible, rapidity. Sometimes a thick concen tration of the luminous rays presented a vast stream of blood colored light, awfully magnificent and pointed towards the Zenith. This however, continuing to vary, soon dispersed, and the usual bright shooting rays were presented, emerging in a parallel direction from the northern horison. The inter esting appearance was most observeable about 9 o'clock, af ter which it gradually disappeared. The approaches of the Aurora Borealis from the northern parts of the globe (to which it was formerly almost exclusively confined,) so far into the temperate zone, unquestionably betoken some very ma terial change in our climate and atmosphere,—keerls . _ Intelli gencer. liffarktts.
