lOoetrp. ON THE DEATH OF THE LATE CAP'FIBEWLEY, LATE OF THE FEEJEE, OF LIVERPOOL. Hark ! hear ye not the solemn -sounding bell, That rings to fellow-creatures' awful 1:tiell ? Saw ye not eyes all dim, and cheeks all pale, While its deep tones are borne upon the gale ? Warm tears and broken sobs of agony Proclaim too truly the soul's misery. The crowd divide like a disporting tide, Some questions asking, while the mourners glide Along their way, wrapt in the night of mind. The brooding sense of' trouble undefined: Sorrow—a vest.l sad, in sackloth deck'd— Pours the soft sigh o'er joys that now are wreck'd ; And, like an exile's visions of his land, Her lonely vales and hoary mountains grand, Gleaming m beauty o'er the expansive deep : So Sorrow dreams—but only wakes to weep ! Yet not of hope reft in Cimmerian gloom ; For there's an angel sits besides the tomb Of those in life who walk their peaceful way, With eyes upturned to heaven's bright array. Soft as the fragrance of a summer shower Is the pure feeling of the Christian's dower. No star that looks on earth with seraph eyes, Can bid the mind more gloriously arise Above the things of earth in faith sublime, Scorings in triumph o'er the bounds of time Nor shed around a sweeter, holier light To charm—to elevate the raptured sight— Than the blest thought—though winds and waves may roar, Safe anchored, harboured on a happier shore, Those whom we loved and prized, shall ever be Inmates of heaven—heirs of Eternity! Then let Hope wave her pinions like the dove O'er the bruised emblems of pervading love. He so much mourned was upright in his ways, And fled hence, in the Sabbath of his days, To higher realms, on wings of seraphim. 'This earth to him was far too cold and dim ; He longed for purer air and sunnier skies, And now his peaceful home is Paradise!. Joy of his mother's heart. and pride of those Whose love enshrines him in his last repose; In virtue hallow'd, in behaviour mild— " In wit a man—simplicity child !" The orphan's parent and the widow's friend— And o'er his tomb their mingled tears descend ; E'en while the widow rocks her babe to sleep, She breathes a prayer his spirit may he blest. But, most like flowers retiring in the shade, His modest virtues flourished. undecayed ; The sunshine of his eye still lightened all On whom his glances ever chanced to fall, Which showed the innocence of heart at ease, That shut grief out, and ever tried to please. But why recall this now ?—he sleeps in earth : Oh ! at the thought, what feelings wake to birth ! No more his shadow darkens at our door, His bounding step, alas ! is heard no more : A step that spurned the ground on which it trod— As light as snow it touched the unyielding sod; But we must bow to the all-chast'ning rod. Time's sythe shall be reversed above his grave, And though the loud winds there may loudly rave, The fairy-footed hours there thread along In peace, while Philomela pours her song.' All things must pass, crush'd by Time's ruthless power ; All here is but " the tarrying of an hour." E'en Rome, that proudly trium pled o'er the world. Has long since kissed the dust, to ruin hurl'd. Since empires pass as if they ne'er had been, E'en like a vision, from this passing scene, Why is our petty grief still wont to mourn O'er one who ne'er to this world can return, Or wild-flowers strew o'er his untimely urn 1 'Tis for ourselves we should lament the most, And not for him, who is not wholly lost. No, no ! his spirit loves to hover nigh— His voice is in the low wind's lullaby ; And seems to whisper, 'mid our transient pain, " Weep not, my friends,—we soon shall meet again!" R. ROSE. LITERARY NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. Jan. 1839. Blackwood has entered upon another year " like a giant refreshed with wine." The disquisition on "An cient Scottish Music," with which it commences is an admirable composition. The conclusion of "Le gendary Lore" is a source of agreeable surprise to the reader v%ho has not entered deeply into the moral o f the "Onyx Ring." "Some Account of Himself, by an Irish Oyster Eater" will afford many a hearty laugh. We shall endeavour, in our future numbers, to make room for a few extracts from this amusing autobio graphy. "Italy as it was" is an essay fraught with true philosophy, and characterised throughout by a classic elegance of style. The biographic 11 and critical notice of "De Lamartine"—the " French conservative statesman and distinguished author—will be perused with great interest by all who are anxious for the as cendancy of right principles amongst our continental neighbours. His character is very vividly pourtrayed. The paper on " Persia, Afghanistan, and India" is of first rate importance. The topics on which it treats are now engaging the attention of all Europe. They are handled with prudence and great ability. "Old Roger" is a delightful poem. The review of " Mit chell's Second and Third Expeditions" into the interior of Eastern Australia, brings under our notice many interesting geographical facts. " Our Pocket Com panions" close the number. The specimens of poetry from Collins are exceedingly beautiful. We delight to find these gems once more attracting popular at tention. Fraser's Magazine. Jan. 1839. We have rarely met with a more varied and enter taining, and, we may add, instructive number than the present. it contains matter suitable to the taste of every class of readers. The admirable review of " Dr. Hook's Call to Union," with which it commen ces, brings to our notice some excellent remarks from the older divines sf the Church of England. The doc trines evolved in these remarks are truly scriptural. It Is scarcely necessary to add that they are at perfect variance with the semi-Popish tenets of the Puseyite school of theology. Fraser deserves the sincere thanks of every true churchman for bringing the subject of the "Tracts for the Times" so prominently before the public. " The Poetry of Guy's Arithmetic" is a hu mourous trifle. The article entitled "Nisbet's Sweep,. ings of Exeter Hall" contains some amusing critiques on the personal appearance, eloquence, &c., of the principal orators who have figured in that arena. The speakers described are, Lord Roden, Lord Ashley, Lord Brougham, Dr. Benson, Reverends H. Stowell, Duff; Cumming, Tottenham, Croly, ,the Binary Star, Dr. Cooke, and Mr. John Hockin. " Rough Sketches Afloat" afford a capital tale. The "Humours of the North" for this month contain some interesting recollections of Dugalcl Stewart. " Our Annual Execution" is a tremendous affair. The re marks of " Captain Orlando Sabertosh on Manners, Fashions, and things in general," display considerable discrimination of character. " Giuseppe Recca" is a horrid tale. "The Cant of Criticism" evinces great ingenuity in the att of torturing words. Under the title of "Sinners and Saints in far Cathay" we have an admirable criticism on the more recent writers on China and the Chinese. We are glad to see the "Blue Friar Pleasantries" resumed in the present number. On the whole we think the first article, al ready alluded to, by far the most important in its character, and shall feel great pleasure in transferring the whole or a portion of it to our own columns. The Dublin University Magazine. Jan. 1839. We always open this magazine in the confident an ticipation that we shalt meet with much both to amuse and instruct us; and it is rarely that our expectations, in either respect, are disappointed. The present num ber has afforded another rich treat. The opening paper on the "Prospects of the British Empire" contains some admit., ble remarks on the present state of our relations with Russia, the encroachments of that power, the state of Canada, the aspect of Dissent, and the prospects of the established Church. We recommend this well-written article to the attention of every con servative. The paper on " Persia" is very opportunely introduced at the present crisis, "The Fairy Shoe" is a tale ending with "a peck of misfortunes." The translations from the " Anthologia Germanica" are pleasing, but present no features of extraordinary at traction. The paper on the " Standard Book for the County Treasurers of Ireland" is of a professional character ; its importance arises from its bearing upon the criminal statistics of Ireland. In the "By-Ways of Irish History" we have some further exposures - of the machinations of the Papists, which cannot fail to enlighten the public mind. The analysis of Silvio Pellico's tragedy of " Francisca de Rimini" is admi rably executed. We are glad to see in this number the first of a series of articles on our Eastern Colonies. The first article embraces Australia, respecting which continent it furnishes much carefully-digested infor mation. "Andrew Graham," and "Truth, a Drama" have scarcely sufficient merit to entitle them to a place in this well-conducted periodical. The critique on the Letter to the Queen" is excellent. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine. Jan. 1839. The present number of Tait's is one of the best we have yet met with. The opening paper is worth the price of the whole magazine. It is the commence-. ment of a series of delightful "Lake Reminiscences from 1807 to 1830," by the English Opium Eater. The subject of the first number is the immortal Words worth, the Bard of Nature. His character and habits are delineated with the accustomed power of the Eng. lish Opium Eater. The whole paper breathes with .poetic fervour. "How do Poor Men live ?" is the title of a flaming article in favour of free trade—that is, in favour of taking the bread out of the mouth of the English labourer and artisan, and giving it to the subjects of some foreign state. The "Dialogue of the Unborn" contains some very amusing speculations. The review of "Miss Postan's Cutch, or Random Sketches of Western India," will be read with very great interest. The extracts given are copious and well selected. The critical notices of the " Gift Books of the Season" will afford some useful hints for selec tion and purchase. The tale of " Blanche Delamere" promises to be one of very great interest. In the "Literary Register" and the " Political Register" we have much that is good, largely spiced with Tail's well knows radical peculiarities. It is scarcely ne cessary that we should repeat that this magazine is one of the cheapest emanating from the press of Great Britain. The Asiatic Journal. Jan. 1839. In the present number of this " Monthly Register 1 for British and Foreign India, China, and Australasia," 1 we have an unusually large collection of interesting matter. "The Review of Eastern News" furnishes us I with a careful digest of the recent intelligence from 1 . N. L. " the northern fronti ers an d P ers i a .

The account given of the process [ 100cilia ,in , of manufacture is very minute, and contains many particulars which are new to us. "The Mofussil and the Ditch" is an agreeable sketch of Indian man• nerq. The review of " Conolly's Journey to the North of India" throws some additional light upon the state of affairs in that part of the East. "The Moving Sand of Cabul"—" The Spectre Son"—" British In terests in Persia"—and "The Kingdom of the Sikhs," will each he perused with interest. The miscellaneous intelligence is exceedingly copious, and judiciously se lected. The Monthly Law Magazine. Jan. 1839. Of the plan and execution of this publication it is impossible to speak in any other terms than those of unqualified approbation. Though the subjects which it embraces are, generally speaking, of a strictly pro fessional character, still it is a work which cannot fail to interest the general reader. It presents a monthly digest of the most important decisions in the House of Lords, the Privy Council, the Equity, Bankruptcy, Common Law, Ecclesiastical, and Maritime Courts, which must be of incalculable service to the student and the young practitioner. It also contains careful abstracts of Bills of Parliament, which must be of great advantage to all who may have occasion to refer to such documehts. The contents of the present num ber are extremely varied. The principal articles are, "The Church Discipline Bill"—"The House of Com mons"—" On the Extinction of Copyholds"—" Bio graphical Sketch of Lord Stowell"—" The Office of Judge promoted by Breeks versus Woolfrey"—and " On the Changes in the Law of Evidence ;" together with a large mass of useful reports, reviews, &c. We We must add that this very able periodical is truly conservative in its character, and has nobly stood for ward in defence of our glorious constitution in church and state. General Outline of the Animal Kingdom. By Thomas Rymer Jones, F.Z.S., Part 3. London : Van Voorst, Jan. 1839. We have previously noticed with approbation the two former parts of this work. We are glad to find that it continues to sustain the very high character be stowed upon it. Its plan and object we have already detailed. The present part contains a full and accurate description of the structure and internal economy of Ccelelmintha, Bryozoa, Roll fera, Epizoa, and E chino dermata. The desertations are truly scientific, and at the same time plairi and popular. Tlie wood engravings are extremely numerous and beautifully executed. We may safely promise that this work will prove one of the most valuable contributions to the library of the naturalist, and materially augment the fame of its in defatigable author. The Naturalist ; illustrative of the Animal, Vege table, and Mineral Kingdoms. Edited by Neville Wood, Esq. Jan. 1839. We have already borne our testimony to the zeal, energy, talent, and discrimination which have hitherto characterised this periodical. The editor has been long distinguished as a writer on natural history. His welt-known ability is a sufficient guarantee for the scientific accuracy of the work. The present number is particularly interesting. The first article is an ac count of a new parasite plant found growing on the fruit of the doum or Thebaic palth in Upper Egypt, accompanied by a beautiful engraving of the same. This is followed .by an essay on "The Comparative Structure of the Skeletons of Zoophytes." The remain ing papers are "On a gigantic fossil Fucusdiscovered in the new red sandstone at Woodside"—" On the Herbarium of the Liverpool Botanic Gardens"— " Sketches on European Ornithology"—" On the Habits and Peculiarities of British Plants"—" Corres pondence"—" Criticisms"—" Reports"—and Miscel lanies." This work, as at present conducted, must be come increasingly popular. Observations on the Oriental Plague and on Quaran tines, as a Means of Arresting its Progress. By John Bowring. Edinburgh : Tait, 1838. This pamphlet was originally addressed to the members of the British Association, at the last meeting of that body. It contains a large collection of facts bearing upon the subject of the plague, and of details respecting the quarantine regulations in the Levant. Dr. Bowring is an anti-contagionist, in opposition to a host of medical authorities. We have no space to enter into any discussion on the subject, and must re fer our readers to the pamphlet before us for all the arguments that can be offered on one side of the question. Phe Coronation: a Poem, by Robert Rose, "the Bard of Colour." Fifth Edition. London : Longman and Co. 1838. We have previously, on two occasions, noticed this poem. We are glad to find that it has reached a fifth edition—a very rare case with a poem on such a sub. ject. We understand that it is the intention of Mr. Rose to present a copy of the poem, neatly bound in vellum and gold, to Her Majesty. National Education on a Christian Basis. A Letter addressed to the Right lion. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., Dy the Rev. Ct. A. Jacob, M.A. London : Rivingtons. 18.38. This is an extremely well-written and temperate pamphlet, on a subject of paramount importance—a subject which has of late engaged a large share of public attention. The author is friendly to a scheme of national education, if it should be found practica ble.. He also maintains that it is "expedient that the legislature should interfere, and in some degree fall in with the popular cry, give sound principles—a right direction—and a healthy tone, to the rotten founda tions, dangerous tendencies, and morbid excitement, which will otherwise predominate and prevail." He then proceeds to detail his plans and principles, for which we must refer our readers for the ptesent to the pamphlet itself, We shall take the earliest opportu nity for noticing them in a separate article. The Scriptural Basis of the Reformed Church of England. A Sermon preached in St. Michael's Church, Liverpool, on Friday evening, Nov. 30, 1838. By the Rev. John Jones, A.M., Minister of St. Andrew's Church. Liverpool: Newling. This is the fourth of a series of sermons now in the course of delivery at St. Michael's Church, by seve ral clergymen of the town and neighbourhood, on the errors of the Church of Rome. We have been highly delighted with the tone and spirit of the present ad mirable discourse. It contains a triumphant vindica tion of the Church of England, proving that she is based upon upon the imperishable rock of God's Holy Word. This sermon is calculated both to remove prejudice and to strengthen attachment towards the Church. PROGRESS AND PLANS OF POPERY. ( From the Quarterly Review In the latter part of the year ISI4, two Protestant diploma tists were conversing with the prime minister of a Roman Catholic country, himself a Roman Catholic, when this dis tinguished individual asked one of them, then on his way to take part in the approaching congress, what was likely to be done there respecting the Jesuits ? " The Jesuits !" replied the Protestant, evidently as much astonished as if he had been asked the question respecting the priests of the Dalai Lama. " The Jesuits!" "Ay, the Jesuits," replied the Ro manist, who, during a long official life, had closely watched their manceuvers when they were supposed to be extinct : I give you full assurance, that if due measures of precaution are not taken at Vienna respecting them within twenty years they will convulse Europe." Within sixteen years after the utterance of this prediction (to say nothing of what they have done in Ireland, Canada, Newfoundland), they had by their evil counsels convulsed France, driven Charles X. frCnn the throne, and dismembered the kingdom of the Netherlands ; and almost within the given period sown in Prussia the seeds of rebellion, which is intended to bring on a general war for the recovery of Papal ascendancy. This it is that gives so deep acd general an interest to the otherwise local and in significant affar of the Archbishop of Cologne, and so amply justifies the measures of the Prussian Government. The conflict is not between a fanatical prelate on the Rhine and a Secretary of State in Berlin, but between the Pope and all the Protestant princes of Europe. The question to be de cided is not whether a few children in Prussia are to be edu cated Romanists or Protestants ; but whether Protestant princes and senates, or the Pope and cardinals at Rome, are to legislate for Protestant nations; whether the free exercise of the Reformed faith, purchased with the blood of so many martyrs, and secured by the hard struggles of a century, is to be continued, or to be put down by Popish intrigue and vio lence. The King of Prussia is not merely asserting the prerogatives of his crown, but defending the rights of every Protestant in Europe against Papal aggression; and, there fore, every Protestant in the remotest corner of the world is interested in his movements, and must wish him God's bless ng. It is well known that Rome never formally renounced her ancient scheme of universal empire, nor ever whispered the slightest disapprobation of those who presumed to bestow the crown of a British Sovereign on a King of the French, or to make a present of the kingdom of Ireland as a feof of Rome. Every lawyer is aware that such pretensions are still asserted, as unquestionable Papal rights, in the code of cannon law ;* but many thought that, though shame or an affectation of consistency might prevent her from condemning any of her infallible pontiff's, she had practically and for ever abdicated every hope of recovering her lost dominion. The events of the last fifty years seemed to annihilate the possibility of Popish ascendancy. The demands, however, of Pius VII. at the congress of Vienna, and his protest against its definitive arrangements, were calculated to excite mote than a suspi cion, that the last 700 years had neither enlarged nor dimi nished the field of Papal vision ; —the elevatio❑ of such men as Leo XII. and Gregory XVI. indicated that the college of cardinals had something else in view besides the promo tion of religion and nvarality. The boldness which was mani fested in the choice of characters and principles well worthy of the dark ages, betokened the existence of dark designs— and the insult offered in the one case to remonstrating Rotnan Catholic princes, as well as the portentous name of Gregory assumed in the other, might well have opened the eyes of Protestant Europe. The 'conduct of the Vatican in this recent affair of Cologne fully developer the system of opera tions. The conduct of the Archbishop himself might perhaps be interesting to illustrate the general truth that Popery is founded on a lie, and supported by a system of lies. The connection with Rome, the interference of the Pope, the ulti mate object of the Archbishop's movements, and the combi nation of fraud, falsehood, and treachery, whereby it was to be attained, render it a most instructive lesson to all Pro testant kings and nations. * Papa coronat lieges de novo et creat.

One day last week there was a tretneudously heavy swell and ground sea off Portland beach, which brought up a large quantity of various articles, including money, clothes, &c., no doubt part of'the remains of the late shipwreck's. . MR. PETER PUNCTILIO, THE GENTLEMAN IN BLACK. (FROM BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.) At the window of a private sitting-room in the Bell Hotel. Cheltenham, stood a young couple, so immediately conti guous, that it was plain to see they were attached to one another. . Suddenly the fair one started from the pleasant bondage of her swain, exclaiming, " See! yonder comes my guardian, as 1 live! Quick ! Hide yourself, for Heaven's sake!" " Hide myself!" replied the cavalier, retreating from the window. " Egad, if your old governor catch me here, he'll hide me, I'm thinking !" " Av !" said the lady, "that he will, with a vengeance!" " With a stick, more likely !" retorted the gent, who never lost an opportunity fora joke. "There ! there !—don't stand trifling now !" returned his lady-love, "but find some place of concealment, do!" "'That's all very line, but there's no lodging here," said he. " Where shall I dispose myself ?" " Stay !—I have it !—behind this board !" exclaimed she, removing that which stood before the chimney. " You'll never be discovered there." " Behind that P." cried the gent, " why, d—me ! but that will be lodging and board too! and, egad, when I come , out, I suspect you'll have to provide me with washing into the bargain." " Pshaw !" ejaculated his inamorata; " in with you, and mind you keep yourself quiet, or you'll spoil all," and she showed him the way to his dingy domicile. "Never fear," replied the swain, entering the sooty recess; " I 'll be as silent as an oyster with—" And the fair dam sel cut short the gentleman's simile by replacing the board before the chimney. She then hastened towards her piano, and commenced singing a little canzonet, the words of which, it is but justice to state, bad been written for her, to one of her favorite airs, by the gentleman in the chimney. The young lady had but just finished the canzonet, when Mr. Solid, her guardian, entered. "Bravo!" he exclaimed; " bravo, Cecilia!" (for that was the name of his ward.) "In high spirits—eh, merry one ? Come, this is as it should be! I have something important to communicate to you." "Something important," repeated Cecilia. "Oh, do let me hear it, Sir!" "Well, then," said Mr. S., "first tell me candidly how should you like to make your debut in the pleasant little comedy of ' Matrimony,' eh ?" " Why, truly, Sir," she replied with naivete, " I should have no objectiou to throw up the part of The Country Girl,' and appear in the character of The wife,' provided that I felt convinced that my performance would meet with apppro bation. It must be either a lat or a Miss with me, sir." " Indeed !" cried Solid; "then to be serious, I have found a person, who, I have no doubt, will be perfectly to your taste; none of your wild, harum-scarum, racketty fetlowsof the pre sent day, but a steady, rich, middle-aged gentleman. There 's a chance for you! What d' ye say to that ?" "Why, Sir," returned Cecilia, " that the darts of Cupid must be feathered with affection, and nut merely tipped with gold, in order to penetrate my bosom. No!" she added archly, "the only arrows that can find their way to my heart are those which spring from my own beau." " From your own beau!" echoed Mr. Solid. "And, pray, Miss, who may this beau of your's be ?" • " f your steady, rich, middle-aged gentleman were here, do you know what answer I should make?" inquired Ce cilia. A saucy one, I'll be bound," returned her guardian. "I should say to him," she added, "my beau, sir, unlike those of old, is not yew." "Very pretty, indeed, Miss!" exclaimed Mr. Solid. "Very pretty! But, perhaps, you will be obliging enough to tell me the name of this most favoured swain of yours." Oh, certainly, Sir," replied the young lady; "Mr. Frank Forage." " So! Mr. Frank Forage is it, Miss ?" coolly exclaimed Mr. Solid. "And, may be, you will now further inform me what are that gentleman's means of living, for, d —me, if I could ever find that out." " He says he is a man of private property, Sir," replied Miss C. "Private property!" repeated her guardian. "Yes; so especially private, that nobody as yet ever saw anything of it. Egad ! he's an independent gentleman in the fullest sense of the word, for he certainly has nothing to depend upon." "But surely you do not intend to say, Sir," remonstrated Cecilia, "he has no fortune at all ?" " I don't mean to say any'such thing," returned Mr. Solid. "On the contrary, I think his fortune very good; for I verily believe the poor devil has nothing but his good fortune to trust to for a dinner every day." Mr. Solid was right. Mr. Frank Forage, the gentleman in question, and in the chimney, was a professed wit, a being who lived upon his brains ; one of those visionaries, who, like the alchemists of old, endeavoured to transmute the base metal of their cerebra into precious gold. "Let me hear no more of this jackanapes, I beg," said Mr. 8. " I want to speak to you upon a subject which deeply 'concerns you." " Well, Sir, proceed. lam all attention." You are well aware that it was ever the wish of your late father that you should marry it.to the family of the Punc tilio's," said Solid. Cecilia confessed that she had understood such to be the case. "Then I have to inform you that I have received by this morning's post," he continued gravely, "a letter from Mr. Peter Punctilio, a gentlemen of whom report speaks most highly, a thorough man of business, the pattern of precision indeed, a perfect human chronometer; as you will perceive when I tell you that he promises to be with me this day ex actly at three-and-twenty minutes past four, p.m. There's punctuality for you!" "It will be indeed!" replied Cecilia, laughing, "if (and she laid a strong stress upon the hypothetical monosyllable) he only performs what he promises.' "IF!'' echoed Solid, with an equally forcible emphasis. " What, do you doubt it, then ? Ah, had you heard but one half what I have respecting his precision, you would not be very sceptical upon this point. Why, he's as regular as the trade-winds!" " But, la, Sir!" said his ward, "there are so matey little circumstances that may happen to prevent any one keeping an appointment to the minute; for instance, the wheel of the coach might come off." " Well, then he would take a post-chaise, and come on," replied Solid. rehaw !" ejaculated Cccillo, " I/ Lit Ur 1110 might turn restive, and throw the post-chaise over." "No matter !" exclaimed her imperturbable guardian, "it might throw the post-chaise over, but still it couldn't throw him over his time." "But dear me!" cried Cecilia, "there are fifty things. He might break his leg by the accident." " He might break his leg, to be sure," replied Solid; "but, nevertheless, he wouldn't break his appointment into the bargain. In short, so convinced am I, from the accounts I have had of his character, that he will be here to the very moment he has named, that, hang me! if I wouldn't stake my existence upon it." Cecilia saw directly that this positiveness on 'the part of her guardian might be turned to advantage. " Well, Sir !" she said, "since you are so thoroughly con vinced of Mr. Punctilio's infallibility, perhaps you will pro mise to consent to my marriage with Mr. Frank Forage, provided Mr. P. be not in those apartments one half hour after the time he has specified." " Consent to your marriage with Mr. Frank Forage! A v !" exclaimed the confident old Gentleman, "or with the chim ney-sweep at the corner of the next street, if you like, on such a condition." " You will remember then, Sir," returned Cecilia, " if Mr. Peter Punctilio be half an hour behind his appointment, I have your permission to choose a husband for myself." " Half an hour behind his appointment! Ay !" he ex claimed, "even if he be a quarter. But don't be deluding yourself with the vain hope of Mr. Punctilio's breaking his word. The thing is utterly impossible, I tell you. You might, with just as much reason, expect the sun to oversleep himself to-morrow morning, and not make his appearance above the horizon until noonday." And, so saying, he dashed out of the room in no slight passion to find his ward so in credulous upon a point which he believed as strongly as Holy Writ. Cecilia no sooner heard the outer door of their apartment close, than she flew to liberate her poor prisoner. "Come out, Frank," she said as she removed the board from the chimney. " You may quit your dingy quarters now without fear." "Quarters do you call them !" exclaimed the jocular Mr. Forage; " hang me if it isn't a complete hole ! But, how do I look ? Not particularly grimy, am I, eh ?" " You're as unsullied as a wedding-gown," was the laconic reply of his lady-love. " But tell me," she continued, " you overheard our conversation, did you not?" "I did, my love, but it was with no little difficulty,—for, not being endowed with the property of übiquity, it was na turally no very easy task for you to make me hear when I was there, you know. Ha! ha! not so bad that, I flatter myself." Mr. Frank Forage had a strange way of laughing at, and complimenting himself upon, his own jokes. " It is a hit I must allow," said Cecilia approvingly. " That is, you mean to say, it isn't a-miss. Come, I've heard worse than that, too, in my time." " What, still at your puns, eh, Frank ?" " Ah ! your old guardian may rail as he pleases at your professed wits, but let me tell you punning is decidedly eco nomical." " Economical !" echoed the astonished Cecilia. " How so, I prithee ?" " Why, not only is it an economy of language—making one word convey two meanings," replied the wit; " but it i; also very economical in a financial point of view, saving one the expense of sundry breakfasts, dinners, teas, and suppers." " . What! a pun save you the expense of a meal?" ex . . . claimed his lady-love, more surprised than before. " Ay," returned Frank. " You won't belive it, perhaps; but I existed the whole of yesterday upon one bon-mot, two conundrums, and a theatrical anecdote; made my dejeunee off the !..on-rnot, dined heartily upon the theatrical anecdote, and had a nice light supper with the two conundrums Few persons have any idea of the pickings of a smart jets d'esprit. You recollect that joke of mine upon a linen-draper affixing WARRANTED FAST COLOURS' to some cheap printed cot tons in his window, that the colours were doubtless so fast that they'd run! and a very good one it is, too, though I say it. Nuw, you'd hardly believe it, but that very joke has been, 1 assure you, a matter of no less than two breakfasts, five dinners, and several suppers to me." " Two breakfasts, five dinners, and several suppers !" ex claimed Cecilia. " Pray explain yourself." " Why, by getting me the reputation of being a smart, clever fellow, and so obtaining for me sundry invitations out. But I will give you a case in point," continued the loquaci ous Frank. " The other morning I was breakfasting with a party of jolly fellows at Sir Harry flardup's, when our wor thy host was thrown into a state of great trepidation by a very suspicious and bailiff-like ring at the bell. Who the devil can that be ?' cried Some beggar or Vother, depend upon it,' I replied.—` Flow do you know ?' he inquired.— ' Because,' said 1, he came with a ring, and, consequently, must be a fellow without cc rap!'—None so dusty that, 1 think. Well, the joke took like wildfire. I was declared a damned amusing fellow. Sir Harry begged I would stop to dinner. One of his friends requested I would honour hint with my company to supper; another pressed me to come and take wine with hint ; a third presented me with his card, and as sured me he should be happy to see me at any time; in fact, there was not a single person present front whom 1 did not receive some invitation or other" A very ingenious mode of living, truly," responded the young lady. " But what, in the name of Alomus, could have made you adopt so strange a :node of getting your bread ?" " A circumstance which happened to me at school," re plied Frank, "and which proving to me, as it did, the power of a pun, was, I believe, the prinks cause of my embracing my present profession. I was studying the art of penman ship—an art, by-the-by, in which I did anything but flourish ; come, that isn't so very bad, either; and had perpetrated a most miserable phalanx of pot-hooks, when my tutor came behind me, and, perceiving the rudeness of iny attempt, raised the little round Lit of mahogany appertaining to masters of the craft, in order to give me a knock on the sconce. I saw his intention, and, arresting his arm, exclaimed, ' Don't strike me, sir! I'm a Republican.'—' A Republican !' re sponded he. What do you mean by that?'—' Why, Sir,' 1 replied, I have a treat objection to have a ruler over my head!'—` Excellent, was it not ? It had the dewed effect. He laughed heartily at my joke, and for the smartness of my tongue overlooked the awkwardness of my fingers. This made a great impression upon me; so much so, that when my father kicked the bucket—that is, went out of the pale of society—that will do, I think—and left me nothing but my wits to depend upon, I thought that, since a pun had stood my friend in one instance, I saw no just cause or impedi ment why it should not in another; and, as punning for a dinner seemed preferable to whistling for one. although by the latter expedient one would have been sure of a good blow• o-,a—rather brilliant, that, for an- off•ban der—l determined to turn regular punster; and so here I am, Frank Forage, dealer in bon-mots, anecdotes, double-entendres, and others facetia3! and a very pretty thing I make of it, I can assure you." " Drive a good trade, I've no doubt ?" said Cecilia. " Indeed I may say a roaring one,—l've said worse thing than that before now. There is not a subject that can be touched upon in conversation upon which I have not some thing smart to say. As for the weather, lam equally at home, be it fair, or be it foul, whether or no. it rain heavily, I talk of the absurdity of laundresses attempting to catch sift water when it's raining hard. If it only drizzle, I declare the wea ther reminds me of the battle of Culloden, because they'd some of the Scotch mist there. 'then, as for dinner, bless you! there is not a good thing . that can be put upon the table but I have some equally good thing to apply to it. In fact, let the conversation take what ever turn it may, or even let it grow dull, and flag for a while, I am sure to throw in something salt and so make it smart again,—and that's very tolerable, 1 flatter myself." " You - are a funny fellow, Frank," said Cecillia smiling at the recital of his history. "But while you ate chattering here, you forget that you've a rival who threatens to be with us very shortly." "That is, my dear," responded the inveterate punster, "you mean to say, that I've a rival whose arrival 1 ought to look to,—that's pretty fair, too, I believe. I understand you, my love; you want me to make the old noodle, that's coming after you, come after his time instead; and, never fear but he shall be in this instance as slow, and as decidedly the late Mr. Punctilo, as if he was one of the dead, instead of the quick. But egad ! I must lose no time," added the vivacious Mr. Forage, •` for I've got a few little levities here, which I must take to the Cheltenham Chronicle before I attend to the old gentleman. Here is an epigram for you. ON A BIAN WITH A LARGE FAMILY, What wonder that Dolt has more children than any, You know the old proverb, that—one fool makes many.' What do you think of that? And here's a Cockney conun drum, 'Why was our dry nurse like Adonis?' D'ye give it up? Because she was engaged to Weanus r —Ha ! ha! ha! De vilish 'funny, isn't it, eh? But, adieu ! adieu, dearest!" and so saying he vanished, with a kiss of his hand to his lady-love, in pursuit of his rival." ( To be concluded in our next.) INFLUENCE OF COMMERCIAL MEN ON OUR FOREIGN POLICY. (From Mr. Urquhares Speech at the Hull Dinner.) In the year 1836 there was a slicing feeling expressed by the mercantile community with regard to the power and in fluence of Russia in the East. A petition was sent to Par liament from London, Glasgow, and Liverpool, stating that Russia had adopted a line of policy adverse to the commer cial interests of this country, and the reciprocity of trade. ( Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Urquhart here read the petition. The news front India had fully realised the anticipations of the petitioners. The fact of such a petition produced an as tonishing effect on the political world. He recollected the extraordinary influence which the circumstance occasioned. (Hear, hear.) A debate took place in the House of Com mons, on the 20th of April, when a notice was brought for • ward respecting the aggressions of Russia, and a resolution was passed that a diplomatic agent should be sent to Cracow. On that occasion, and he could state it as a fact, there was a majority prepared to vote in favour of the motion, in case Ministers resisted it, and the result would have been a change in or of the Administration. (Hear, hear.) This instance would be a sufficient proof of the power of commercial men, when efficiently combined, to attain any particular object. They were competent to force the Government to listen to, and redress, their claims, or introduce a Government that would. (Hear, and loud cheers.) The result of the motion was, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs consented to send a diplomatic agent; and not only so, but stated his determi nation at the same time, that such measures should be adopted as would lead to the establishment of British rights, as gua ranteed by the Treaty of Vienna. (Hear, and cheers.) But what, he would inquire, was the result? The pledge of the foreign minister was violated, and a falsehood was had re course to, to evade (by a process yet unknown) the first de mand of a political nature of the commercial community. He would ask, was not there a proof of the power of com mercial men? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) In 1836 a com prehensive scheme had been adopted for the purpose of form ing an alliance with Circassia, which might be considered the bulwark of India. BLit England, shortly after was lulled into repose. About six months back, the city of Glasgow sent the following petition, respecting the designs of Russia, to the House of Lords, which states— "Considering the Dardanelles as the most important geo graphical, military, and political position in the world, we look upon the free navigation of the Black Sea as essential to the mercantile interests of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as the continuance of general peace; we, therefore, humbly implore your right hon. House to devise such means as may tend to give protection to our commerce and mer chant ships on that sea, to preserve our friendly relations with Turkey, Persia, and Circassia, and to maintain the rights of British commerce, by a strict fulfilment of existing treaties with other nations." This petition was not signed by some dozen houses, but by 550 of the principal firms in the city. With such progress of opinion he was not without hopes for the future prosperity of this country. (Hear, and cheers.) On 'other occasions the body of merchants had come forward and resisted the at tempted aggression of foreign power. London, Liverpool, and Glasgow had petitioned against the blockade of Mexico. Here he might he permitted to allude to the connection of France with Mexico. He considered that the aggressions of France on Mexico was one of the worst history would have to record. It very materially affected British interests. He need not tell them that British vessels sailing ,on the high seas had been stopped by vessels of war belonging to France. (Hear.) LMr. Urquhart then contended at length that the blockade was unjust and inimical to the laws of nations, and quoted several eminent law authorities in support of the view he took on the question; there could be no blockade without war.] STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—We have no alteration to note in the demand for goods here since our last, though the sales in the Cloth. Hall have not been quite so extensive as of late,.owing to the par ticular periods of the years that they have occurred. The prices of cloth of ordinary quality still tend upwards, and the wool market continues firm. At Bradford market, on Thursday, there was fully as much business done as is usual at the opening market of the year, and more goods might have been sold but for the determina tion of the manufacturers to hold out for advanced prices. There was a brisk demand for yarn, and prices rather im proved. In the wool market an average quantity of business was done at late prices, but the staplers are by no means eager to sell, as they anticipate a further improvement in prices. , There was a better attendance of merchants than of ma nufacturers at H uddersfield market on Tuesday, consequently Most of the goods offered were immediately bought up. The principal transactions were in stout and light Tweeds, light fancy Doeskins, and other spring goods, most of which real ized improved prices. In the wool market there was nothing particular to notice; the sales were not quite so extensive as of late. At Wakefield Wool Market, on Thursday, the business done in either long or short wool has nut been extensive, but the prices of both are very firm, as what is recently given to the grower is above the rates at present ruling in these markets. . . At Chesterfield Wool Market, on Wednesday, the trade in wool was quite steady, and the demand good—no difference in prices can be quoted. Although the price of the manu factured article is not adequate to the rate of the raw ma terial, there is no apprehension that the market will be lower. The meeting of the ironmasters of Staffordshire was held at Dudley on 'Thursday last, when it was agreed to advance the price of iron generally El per ton. We,are glad to learn that the general trade of the west of Scotland is in a highly satisfactory position. The revival of cornmercial activity in the United States has had its natural effect here. Orders have of late poured in from that country upon our manufacturers; and now the stocks on hand, par ticularly of fancy goods, are lower than have been seen these two years past. The Americans have, in fact, nearly cleared us out in severalbranches, particularly in those goods suitable for the London warehousemen. Manufacturers look forward to a brisk home trade in the beginning of the year.—Glasgow paper. STATIONS OF THE BRITISH ARMY ON TAB IST ON JANUARY. 1839. (From the United Serrice Journal.)

LAW IN SOUTH AMERICA —Nowhere in the world, per haps—not even in our own Court of Chancery—is there a anti despatch tangible means of deciding a dif fi culty with justice despatch than in Buenos Ayres, or in South America gene rally. A law plea there is a sort of ignis fatuus, which, if obstinately pursued, is sure to lead all who follow it up—the gainer as well as the loser—.into the quagmire of ruin at last. It may be otherwise, indeed, if one of the parties can, at an early stage of the question, effectually buy justice ; but even then he gains just so much as the amount contended for, less the sum expended in the way bribery and corruption. Justice in South America is sadly tainted with venality, and the amount of douceur to a judge or to an advocate of the opposing party, is so nicely measured by the nature of the case, and of the sum at issue, that a man's gain is rather what he does not lose. by following up the plea, than what it profits him to bring it to even a successful teunitation.

The market opened with a limited inquiry, and until yesterday a decline of id to id was in many instances submitted to, but nearly all the large holders refused to sell at any reduction, and prices soon rallied ; to-day the demand was very extensive from both the trade and speculators, the latter taking 70J0 hales, at rates fully establishing the quotations of Friday last. 7300 American, 1100 Carthagena, 100 Bahia and 3011 Surat have been taken on specu lation. Since the above was written, 4000 bags of American have been taken by one House on speculation. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 29th ult. to this day inclusive. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. S. The arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal since this day week, are to a fair amount, and, with the residue of the previous imports, have afforded good supplies of most articles in the trade. There has, at the same time, been somewhat less activity in the demand, but holders have been firm as to price, and we repeat the quotations of Tuesday generally. The best English Wheat has brought 13s to 13s 3d, red 12s to 12s 6d, Baltic red lls 6d to 12s, Odessa, hard and soft 9s 6d to les 9d, Irish new 9s 6d to Its for inferior, up to lls per 771 b for the best runs.-3s lid to 4s 2d has been the current rates for Oats ; 36s to 37s per 210Ibs for Oatmeal.—Flour 60s to 65s . per sack.—There has been little Harley in the market, and the im porters have demanded higher rates • good midland only bring 44s to 455, Chevalier 46s to 473 per quarter.—Malt is also scarce, 68s to 70s per quarter would be paid readily for choice roundland.—Beans and Peas are also looking up in value.
