, 4 ribt Vort'o Corna, THE OLD MAN'S RELICS. I hare been young, and wild, and gay, To all but beauty blind : And sighed all night and sung all day, To ladies stern or kind; I've told my tale in manly prose, I've written it in rhyme ; And now I'm crowed with age's snows, The scent of yonder withered rose Recalls that pleasant time. O then were hopes that chased my sleep, And fears that made me thin ; And many subtle wiles and deep My proud one's heart to win ; And raptures past the poet's guess To wear so sweet a chain ; And now, perforce, content with less, A gleam from yonder golden tress Revives it all again. O then were feasts in lighted halls, And vows beneath the moon, And fairy taleS and madrigals In garden bowers at noon : And wandering with my ladye love Around the haunted hill ; And now my hand can hardly move, It needs but touch the broidered glove, And she's beside me still. Yon smile at all these simple thin 3 ,1 I hold in treasured store ; You ask the worth of flowers and rings When love exists no more : I wish to-morrow were my last, If cold or careless grown, To flame or wind I dared to cast The precious relies of the past. And joys for ever gone I [FROM AN AMERICAN PAPER.)

It has been our duty on frequent o e .,esions to call at tention to the_ gross mismanagement•and bad - government practised in the Island of Mauritius, but the acts of op pression which .we. have recorded fall infinitely short in turpitude of the later details that we are now in posses sion of from that colony. In fact Vie news that we re ceive is of such a description that it almost exceeds be lief: Every act of vengeance of Mr. Jeremie has been succeeded by one still more execrable. After having caused the removal from the island of many English ci tizens and foreigners, —after having imprisoned without ,an order of the judge many resident citizens,—after hay iug th..! governor and the council succumb to his he - 7:solved to get rid of the press, which alone stood h way. In pursuance of this intent he made a law Anpre severe than the censorship, since no person can now print without the permission of the governor, and the transgressions of the press will be tried by Judge Red die. A• member of the council; who would not give his sanction to this iniquitous regulation, sent in his resig nation, and was replaced by a person who was formerly a cook ! Mr. Jeremie refused to execute the judgments of the court. The bar having demanded the execution of them, two advocates were suspended from the exercise of their functions. A superior magistrate has been threat ened and insulted by Mr. Jeremie, who, holding his fist up to his face, told him that he wished " that one half of the population was destroyed by the other." Five great landholdets have been arrested, and put in prison with out judgment. The inhabitants are ill-treated, ruined, and oppressed in every shape; they asked for the neces sary authority to meet, in order to present a petition to the King. This authority was refused to them ! Spies and incendiary agents are spread all over the island. The governor has unblushingly and perfidiously published the five resolutions of Parliament, before he even knew whe ther the House of Lords approved of them; the inhabi tants have seen in them only incentives to create distur bances. Mr. Jeremie h established a journal, which is distributed gratis, and in which he indulges in the, most brutal invective against the inhabitants. In fact it may be said, that the local government has orders to provoke the colonists to revolt, or organize civil or servile war in the island of Mauritius. The emissaries of the Sovereign were spreading a. report that Sir Charles Colville and M. A. d'Epinay were confined in the tower of London. There certainly is not in the whole surface of the globe a country treated with greater barbarity than the island of Mauritius. Let it suffice to mention as a last feature of the tyranny exercised in this unfortunate and ill-governed colony, that - ten persons cannot now meet without the anthoiity of the governor, and that at the postoffice it is prohibited to deliver the letters of the deputy of the island of Mauritius to his fellow country mee.—Guardian and Public Ledger. It is to be hoped that not many days will elapse afte, the meeting of Parliament before some member w ill inquire what becomes of the £50,000 per annum which his majesty, King Leopold, has hitherto derived from the people of England, and which Earl Grey informed the House of Commons was to be no longer received than might be necessary for discharging out of it the debts then owing by the Belgian Sovereign. As Kings are, by the laws of the country, not held personally responsible for what they do, or omit to do, we would on this occasion e xt en d th e rule to a f ore i gn Sovereign, especially to one heretofore so nearly allied to England, and that on a subject exclusively English. In what we say, therefore, oui remarks apply to Leopold's advisers, and not to himself. We say, then, that there are nu merous persons in this country who shrewdly suspect that from the economical scale of living adopted in King. Leopold's household, both at Claremont amd Pall mall, it is scarcely possible he could have any debts to discharge—that at any rate such demands, if they really existed, must have beer, long since discharged unless the money has been otherwise diverted. There is one, and but one way, •in which such a diverting can have taken place, which I.vflizld he at all satisfac tory to the public of this country and that is, if it can be shown, that, instead of appe•optiating it to his own use, his Belgian majesty has assigned the whole or the greater portion of it to the eoVorts- and the splen dour of his Royal sister arid niece. Even such ar appropriation would be a breach of faith rith the try. _ . ; yet such, perhaps, as it would readily 1, Assuming this, however, not to have been the how must the matter stand, provided the money is received from the English Treasury, but that Leopold, the should-be independent King of Belgium, and the sonin-law of the wealthiest individual in Europe, is nevertheless the pensioner of England> That Leopold did right in leaving a peaceful and splendid retreat in this country for the far less peaceful, even if more splen did cares of royalty, no one, now at least, is, we believe; insane enough to think; but having renounced this country, and having, at the same time, formally re nounced an income incompatible with the independence of a foreign.. crowned head, the peopte.of this country are naturally anxious, and surely have a right to know whether this latter condition has been complied with, and if not, why not ?—.lforning Herald. BERWICKSHIRE EtecTros.—We published in our last the very temperate and judicious address of Sir Hugh Purves Hume Campbell to the Electors of Berwickshire. Sir Hugh is the only candidate yet in the field, nor does there appear much chance that he will encoun ter any opposition on the part of the Whigs. The elec tion for Berwickshire last year, like most of the other Scottish counties, was carried by means which could only operate as long as delusion and excitement about Reform could be kept up. Happily for the country, the same means cannot now be resorted to with the slightest hope of success. The short experience of a single Ses sion of Parliament has taught the Electors throughout the three kingdoms a lesson, which, though it may have cost them dear, they are , ot likely soon to forget. Ac cordingly a re-action has dtnidedly taken place in favour of Conservative principles, wherever constituencies have been allowed the free and unfettered expression of their sentiments. - This is eminently the case in Ber wickshire, where all parties seem confidently to antici pate an undisputed triumph for the present candidate. flat the Tories should congratulate themselves on so fu; ering aprospect of success for their cause is quite na teral; but we confess it puzzles us exceedingly to con je'eture why the Whigs should c ap er f or j o y, an d " crow chanticleers," in Unticipttion of a defeat. What a change has come o'er the spirit of their politics since last y vat-, when they' sounded the tocsin from the hustings. Any thing but a 7 orb ! This we admit is an " agree able surprise" to us, though it reminds us of sly Reynard in the fable, who made a virtue of necessity, and only changed his mind when he could not attain the object he wanted. Some of our contemporaries who boasted that they bad trampled out the last spark of Toryism, and laid the whole faction quietly in the grave twelve months ago, have now found out their mistake, and pretend in expressible delight at the idea of " unanimity" being restored between them and their political opponents. But their endenrments do not end here; they declare that a Conservative is in every respect " the most fit, ting person whom the county of Berwick could Foss; bly select as its Representative"—th a t " his Majesty, Government intend to give him their full support"—and that " it is most probable he will walk over the course !" What a contrast does this exhibit between the language and opinions of the Whigs in December 1832 and those -.lber 1833. It must have cost them much bitter n. and many a struggle of conscience, ere they n resolution enough to express satisfaction at ed triumph of their " Tory friends." They o _represent Sir Hugh as a disciple of their device will not answer. His address is a retti,,,,,va of the charge ; and the high character which he hears is our best assurance that he will steadily main tain in Parliament those principles of devoted attach ment to the institutions of the' country on which he has claimed the suffrages of the county. We observe by the Gazette of Friday last, that the day of election is 'fixed for the 27th instant.—Edinburgh Advertiser. DII. WARDLAW-MR. APWEEN To the Editor of the Glasgow Courier. Sir,—Permit me to request that you will republish the follow ing letter, which .1 addressed to the Rev. Dr. Wardlaw, through your columns, on the 15th of August last, omitting, for the sake of brevity, the two first and the last paragraphs : " In your_reply to Mr. Croil, some years ago, you, in refer ence to the state of personal bondage established by law by Great Britain in the West Indies, say. lat once avow, that, with my present views of my fellow-creatures, as brethren of the same great family, whom their common parent has made of one blood' over all the earth, and with my present sensibilities towards them, as vot only brethren in nature, but fellow-sinners and fellbw-infiiihrtals, this of itself, apart from all details, is enough, and more than enough, to affect my mind with itiex pressiole indignation and horror. At present, I enter, with my whole soul, into the poet's sentiment:— Dear as freedom is, and in my heart's First estimation, prized above all price, I had much rather be nny•el' . the slave, And wear the bonds, than fasten them on him.' " would not like to have this tone of feeling lowered, _be cause I am satisfied it is what every Christian man and woman ought to cherish. My prayer, therefore, is, lead me not into temptation,' &c.' " f his, it not very fine, is certainly very sentimental writing. Let us put its value to the proof; and, passing over the Jesuitism, in the words 'present views,' 'at present,' &c., let us judge you from your own lips and by your own judgment. " Vour uncle, Nil-. Fisher, at his death, left an estate and slaves in Jamaica, the value of which, by his will, was given to your father and his family, and to a relative of your own, a gen ilemau of great respectability, now residing not far from this city. To enable you all to get the money, this relative agreed tw - buy, and you, on your varts, consented to sell, the lands and e, of this property: '1 he bargain was soon completed—each got 1, share —you got yours, above £2,000 sterling. I have the the deed signed by-yourself and the otheis. I have seen the hills 'for the amount of your share, granted to yourself; and vtiik h were duly paid. They lay in the hands of a merchant in '`ibis city, a friend-of your own. I have also seen , the letter to the purchaser from. your father, and in which you join him in congratulating yourselves upon the sale, and wishing him good luck in his bargain. All this took place in, I think, 1799 and 1800, and after you had made choice of the ministry as a pro fession! " You took the value of the property because it was legally yours; you realised, the value, although you had paid nothing to any one for it. You then legally sold your •fellow-crea tures —your brethren of the same great family—fellow sinners and fellow-immortals,' and pocketed the price• with con gratulations anti satisfaction ! And if it were lawful and just in you, nuclei the circumstances of that case, to do this, I ask, how canlyon show it to be unlawful and sinful in others of your fellow-creatares' to claim the value of the same description of property from and your countrymen, to whom they had paid the value or it, when these countrymen with you cry out, and decide to take it away ? No man has worked harder than you have done to accomplish this object; to make this sacrifice, as you and your coadjutors proclaim it, to justice • and no one has done more to destroy the c haracters, to desc r ibe and to ren der one hundred thousand of your' brethren of the same great your fa/ore-sinners,' if 'you will, and your fellow-coun trymen, in every thing your equals, outcasts of society, and cri minals and beggars, than you have. There is a text in the bible, where the God of Christians says, (Isaiah, c. lxi., v. 8,) 'I, the Lcird, love judgment—l bate robbery for burntoffering, &c. It applies strictly to your conduct and your case, particu larly as leagued with other Anti-Colonial persecutors in your unjust and spoliation crusade against the British Tropical Colo nies. " Having pockited the thing which you call `the accursed thing,' there are only, by your own shewing, two ways which remain, by which you can become a 'Christian man' namely— First, to return the money, principal and interest, to him from whom you got it; or, else, if you keep the money, to step out to Jamaica with your whole family, and, on the estate in question, slip on, accoraing as you have described it, the slave chain on your neck; in the room of so many of the blacks, to an equal value as you sold, and there remain till the compensation be given, and the apprenticeships shall by law cease, when you will become legally, and, with some degree of ho nes ty, f ree . If y ou decline to do either, more especially the latter, the public will judge of . you accordingly, and affix to your conduct a name which it is unnecessary for me to mention," & c . & c . To this plain saternent of facts, neither the Doctor nor any of his friends have hitherto attempted to make either reply or observation, unless the public are left to consider the following audacious statement as one, made in his own chapel, by his jackal and champion, George Thompson, during his American lecture on the evening of - Tuesday last. The statement, ac cording to the report, such as the "Glasgow Chronicle" gives, runs thus:—" Before they parted, he would remark shortly on some recent attacks, made by a journal in this city, on a wor thy individual who had exerted himself in the cause of truth and justice. They all knew to what journal he alluded; and they would readily believe him when he said, th a t th e charge alluded to was unmixed falsehood, and that the source from which it sprung was irremediably corrupted." To this statement, fulminated - with more than Thompsonian arrogance and insolence, I reply by a reference to th e l e tt er , i n all its parts, now republished, with this addition, that the rela tive to whom Dr. Wardlaw sold the estate, consisting of lands, buildings, slaves, and cattle, the live'and dead stock in Jamaica, was Witter Ewing M‘Lea, Esq., of Cathkin, in whose posses• sion the deed of bald, executed by Dr. Wardlaw himself, the bills granted to himself and paid, together with the congratula tory letter on the sale which had been effected, remain, and are to be seen in the counting-house, Ingram-street, in this city, where his business is transacted. The whole of these docu ments were put into my hands ; I saw them, I read them, and they are what I state them to be. It would indeed be a waste of time to reply to, nr to notice farther, one syllable that may be uttered on this subject, from this compound of venal insolence and promulgator of the most daring falsehoods, Mr. Thompson. The specimen which I have given, and the truth of which, if any farther proof be wanting, can be so readily obtained and ascertained, may be taken as a just criterion by which to judge of the other statements which this piece of anti-colonial ma chinery has been commissioned, and is put forward to make. Your various correspondents are, I believe, quite competent to defend themselves against every Wardlaw or Thompsonian at tack. The low, contemptible ribaldry which, I have been informed, the latter would-be anti-colonial boa-constrictor thought proper to vomit forth against myself, I treat with the utmost scorn; but when he, or any of his gang, ventures to print and to publish that which I have been told his tongue ventured to utter within the walls of a building, where the less of that which too frequently takes place within it is known the better, he and his admirers and supporters, silly and contempti ble though they be, may probably find themselves noticed as they merit, and receive the " castigation" which they deserve. I can easily conceive that men and women of the mental calibre who assemble in that school of error and wrong—men such as Simeal, Murray, &c. &c., and George Thompson, "who put his hand to the p!ough and turned back," (in such men no amendment is to be hoped for,) do not, and cannot, understand what "blasphemy" is, or means; but all who read their bible can and do comprehend it without assistance or explanation given by them. The " right. hand of God," the place where Wardlaw placed George Thompson, is a station which no created might or counsel has the power or the right to bestow. - Our great Redeemer himself tells us that "THE FATHER," the Almighty God, reserves to himself alone the power to con fer that hiOest of all h'inours; and from the same authority we learn teat it r conferred on any being " who -..th and night quit the foul-mouthed de .:ry stupid and very silly people, and convulse a country; but that the . ..i.bompson and his tail, composed of tate Mate and four female, should take into their ..._dos that they are th.l machines which can tear up and sweep:awa . lc,--1 7 the evil whit h exists in this wo r ld, an d a state of goe.tety nich bus existed through all preceding ages, and yet exists, atiptig.st 8 , 30,000,0 i of human beings, is a delusion as wild and as dcrigerbus as that which took possession of the brains of thosil crizylanatics, who lately amongst us bragged they could want u pon the' water, and raise th e d ea d u nto lif e ! The fact is; that 'it is senseless individuals, such as those which we have alluded*, whose self-love, self-interest, personal am bition; and incurable and silly vanity, spread and maintain evil and irj...hief, wider and stronger, amongst. men.—l am, &c., 13th Dee., 1833. - JAMES M'QUEEN. IMES MSS THE WESLEYAN METHODISTS. We have much pleasure in laying before the public the following letter,', and. the extract from the annual address of die Methodist. CorWerence - to which it refers; We con fess that neither the letter nor extract gives us any new view of the feelings or conduct of the followers of John Wesley ; but it is right that the character of this truly pious and ever loyal class should be thoroughly under stood by their brother Christians.—_ TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. " Sir,—As a constant reader of your excellently conducted raper, I cannot avoid bearing testimony to the correctness of your views of the Wesleyan body. In reading your paper of yesterday, I determined on forwarding you a copy of the last y annual address of the Conference to the Methodist soc i et i es i n Great Britain. I beg, as a personal favour, that you w ill g i ve it a perusal, which will more fully, if necessary, establish ou in the views you have already so justly imbibed, and so faith fully published to the world. am sure you will duly appreciate the spirit pervading the address, and which, if the contest between Dissenter an d Churchman proceed, the publication of, at least some parts of it, would probably do good, and effectually place the great body of Wesleyan' in their proper iight and character. I now quote a minute of the Est Conference, , which will at once show y ou the views of its ministers of the paper falsely called or described as the Che , "..izion Advocate. Adverting to an attack made by that paper upon- anoth*-denomination, it says The Conference aiselaitn any connection whatever with the Christian Advocate viewlrperi " From the Magazine for September last I quote the fol lowing : '" Christian Advocate Newspaper.

[We (the LIVERWOL STANDARD) have already had the pleasure of publishing a portion of the following extract, but it is sufficiently good to bear repetition :---] " You cannot fail to observe, that we live in times of great public change and agitation. High controversies are on foot, both as to civil and ecclesiastical affairs. You may sometimes be in danger of listening with too warm an interest to such de bates; for, though they do not irninediately concern our con nexion, yet they occupy so great a share of the public attention, that you may tied it difficult to avoid forming . certain strong opinions which, without great watchfulness, might betray you into unprofitable prejudices, and a party spirit somewhat in jurious to your charity and peace of mind. The Divine Head of the Church will no doubt eventually cause these agitations to subside, and to be succeeded by great and permanent spiritual prosperity ; will say to the sea of conflict " be still," and there will be ' a great calm.' Amidst all the complication and per plexity of our public affairs, events are doubtless hastening the universal triumph of the cross ; and the people of God have no cause to be discouraged or alarmed, but to hope in Hiin that the magnificent prophecies of his word on this most interesting subject will be speedily fulfilled ; not by breaking down the several and unessential forms of ecclesiastical government, forms which, for aught we know to the contrary, may remain while time shall last; hut by accompanying the publication of the truth as it is in Jesus' with the copious effusions of his Holy Spirit, to turn men from darkuess to light, and from the power of satan' to the service of the living God.' Io this im portant result you may essentially contribute, if not by preach ing, yet by priver for this promised advent of the Spirit, and by promoting the dissemination of the truth to the ends of the earth ; not by fiery zeal for circumstautials, but by exhibiting the 'fewer of the Gospel in a holy life, and thus diffusing its ,savour through the whole circle of your influence. Such ap pears to have been the principal design and constant practice of the first Christians, as it was in the case of. the primitive Me thodists. All other things seem to have been merged in this, subject, to the regulating power of its supremacy in the hearts of those benevolent and heavenly minded men. Brethren, let us follow them as thus they followed Christ.' " " The special blessing of God upon means chiefly and vigor ously directed to this one point,—upon the doctrines we preach, the discipline we exercise, and the public and private ordinances, so scriptural, so simple, so spiritual, which as a body we enjoy, —is the great secret of the extraordinary success of Methodism. Those who attribute this success to mere ecclesiastical policy, both of our venerable father and of those who have followed him in the continued application of his system, have done too much honour to the genius and sagacity of the Methodists. They do not understand the nature of that system; they perceive not the general principle of its working, and true cause of its wonderful efficiency. Let them but preach the same truths, and prosecute the same plans, and the same divine blessing on such measures will produce the same effects. " As our grand aim, therefore, as ministers, is to save souls, your aim, of course, is to be saved, and to promote as far as possible the salvation of your fellow men. We beseech you then not only to believe our doctrines with great cordiality, 'but to reach after the cullnessof the experimental privilege to which they direct you, and to graft upon the healthful stock of this experience the practice of piety. Be alarmed at the very thought of the unfruitful notions and feelings of the Antinomian and the enthusiast. Claim and maintain, indeed, your constant enjoy ment of the Spirit's witness testifying your adoption ; but join to this the strictest attention to the duties of your station. Read, and study, and obey the brief but comprehensive abstract of scriptural holiness contained in the Rules of the Society. It will teach you to abstain from that which is evil, and to follow that which is good. " In these times of conflict among certain classes of the com munity, keep at the utmost distance from all associations which are subversive of the principles of true and proper liberty, employing unlawful oaths, and threats, and force, to acquire new members, and to accomplish purposes which would tend to destroy the very f ra me- wor k o f civil society. Such connexion would inflict a dangerous wound on your spiritual existence, and greatly injure the life of God within you. Watch against the evil tendency of many cheap and imposing publications now circulating through the land; and which, to say the least, contain nothing Mat can nourish faith and love. Read the holy Scriptures, and meditate upon them day and night. Ob serve the duties of the Sabbath with all due solemnity; and promote its sanctified observance as far as possible in others. Be serious and punctual in the several exercises of family reli gion. ' Owe no man any thing, but to love one another.' Let love, perfect love to God and man, sweeten all your tempers, and adorn all your actions, both at home and in your ordinary intercourse with others. 'Be at peace among yourselves.' Be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.' " Signed in behalf and by order of the Conference, "RICHARD TREFFRY, President, "EDMUND GRINDROD, Secretary. " Manchester, August 12, 1833." _ London Standard.) THE CHURCH AND STATE. Under this head, The Manche:ter herald of Wednes day contains the following article:— At a time when the church is threatened, not only with the spoliation of many of her temporal rights and privileges, which she has long enjoyed under Christian kings and queens,who have been " nursing fathers and nursing mothers of the church of God," but with some bold and daring innovations of her apostolical discipline and doctrines, it may check the violence of h er ene mies, and tranquillize the fears of her friends, who deprecate any unhallowed mutilation of her beautiful Liturgy and scrip tural articles, to know how little an imbecile time-serving go vernment, supported by an obsequious Parliament, have it legally in their power to continue or alter the church at their pleasure. We therefore rejoice in laving before our readers the opinion of one upon this point, whc;se accurate knowledge of the consti tution of the church, and profound judgment in all ecclesiasti cal matters, leave no room for his opinion to be questioned. Without further comment, we make the following extract from the writings of Jones, of Nayland, of whom, for his extensive erudition, theological attainments, and eminent Christian piety, the Church of England may well be proud. In his " Essays on the Church," he says —A It is a very false suggestion, that our civil government can alter the Church at their pleasure. There is, indeed, a sense in which it may be said, that a man has power to do whatever he can do by force and violence; but still there is an essential difference between the power of force and the right and authority. The Church o f E nglan d never can be altered LEGALLY, without the consent and act of the Convo cation, who are a part of the constitution; and if it w ere other wise done, it must be done by an act of violence against the rights of Englishmen, for Englishm e n d o no t l ose th e i r 'rights by being Christians and churchmen, as their enemies are in clined to have it. There can be no power of authority in lay men to make or unmake a Church, any more than there can be power in the Church to make or unmake the civil constitution ; and nothing can confound these powers but an overbearing principle of infidelity, from which may God deliver us. Suppose the civil power should make an act, that the king shall ordain priests, or that priests shall not baptise children, nor consecrate the sacrament, what would such an act signify ? Therefore, they have not the power to alter the Church at their pleasure; for this might be their pleasure, if their wits, or the grace of God, were to forsake them. Such a power, if it were claimed, was never exercised even by heathen persecutors. However, the dissenters do not seem unwilling that such a tyrannical power should be exercised, and appear to relish the idea of it, if it be turned against the Church of England." If this great champion of the Christian faith and Church had lived in our day, he could not have written any thing more strongly indicat ing his acquaintance with popular clamour, or applicable to the present state of the tunes; hut it will give greater weight to his sentiments, when it is recollected that they were calmly and deliberately expressed in his admirable " Essay on the Church," published in 1787. ,;1-bipping Entetilarnre.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. TURKISH PROVERBS. A little stone can make a great bruise. In a car drawn by oxen you may catch a hare. A foolish friend does more harm than a wise enemy. It is not by saying honey ! honey! that sweets come• to the mouth. He who expects a friend without faults will never find one. A man deceives another but once. It is difficult to take a wolf by the ears. You can't carry two mellons under one arm. To live quietly, one should be blind, deaf, and dumb. All that you give you will carry with you. More flies are caught by a drop of honey than by a hogshead of vinegar. Who gives to the poor gives to God. The fool• has his heart on his tongue, the wise man keeps his tongue in his heart. Good wine and handsome women are two agreeable poisons. Every event which causes a tear is accompanied by another which produces a smile. An egg to-day is better than a hen to-morrow. Do good and throw it into the sea; if the fishes don't know it, God will. He who fears God does not fear man. If your enemy is no bigger than a pismire, fancy him as large RS an elephant. A wife causes the prosperity or the ruin of a house. He who knows every thing is often deceived. lie who weeps for everybody soon loses his eye-sight. More is learned by conversation than by reading. A friend is more valuable than a relative. There are more invisible than visible things. He who rides a borrowed horse does r o , ride often. Don't trust to the whiteness of a turban, the soap was bought on trust. Death is a black camel, whiek kneels at every donr.,;= When you, visit a blind man, shut y our eyes. Blood i s not washed out with blood, but with water. Although the tongue has no hones, it breaks bones. The heart is a gild ; it hopes what it wishes, The estate purchased by William Joseph Denison, M.P., was at Milborne Port, and not Milford Haven, as stated. The purchase-money amounted to upwards of £300,000. Captain Campbell, of the 47th regiment, died on Monday, in consequence of serious injuries by a fall from his horse, while hunting in the early part of the day near Mullingar.—Athlone paper.

On paying £2 19s. in London they will be set down in Paris; I r m a Paris to Chalon-sur-Saone, 39 francs; thence by the coche d'eau to Lyons, seven francs; and from Lyons to . Geneva. 12 francs. The Marquis of Sligo has diminished pa:t of his establish ment in Mansfield-street, preparatory to his departure to assume the government of Jamaica.
