ottrp. PRAY NOT FOR THE DEAD (From the Atheneum) Pray not for the dead ! Alas, alas ! the prayer So often poured in bitterness of heart, In the first fullness of the soul's despair, Over the grave of loved ones, who depart • And leave us mourning, shall we not confess And know and feel its utter worthlessness? Pray for the young ! That they may live and learn, And hallow their Creator's name, and love The creatures he hath made ; and so return The spirit to its resting-place above, To God who gave it; and the dust to dust, Whence it was taken—pray for them and trust. Pray for the weary and the sick at heart, For these bowed down by sorrow's heavy weight ; Pray that the God of patience may impart His own good spirit to_the...desolate ; And pray that those who sow in tears may reap In joy unchanging —pray for them and weep. Pray for the sinner—for the weak and blind ; For them. who will not, or who cannot pray— Pray that the poor benighted ones may find A !tar to light the darkness of their way ; The troubled spirit, the repentant tear, May yet be theirs—then pray for them and fear. Pray for the dying, that their end be peace— Pray for the mourners who beside them kneel ; Pray that the worn and aching heart may cease To suffer, though it may not cease to feel ; And oh ! that sorrow may not pass away And leave those hearts unchastened, deeply pray ! But pray not for the dead, nor weep nor sigh — Ye cannot know, ye cannot change their doom ; For as the tree bath fallen, it must lie. In lowliness of spirit, by the tomb, Kneel down, and tears of contrite sorrow shed ; Pray for the living—pray not for the dead. THE REPLY OF THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE TO THE LAST EDUCATIONAL EPISTLE OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. " Well done !" my Lord John, thou bast neatly play'd The statesman's part—that motion was well tim'd— it was the knell of the expiring church, and thou Shalt be remembered at the Vatican When Popes do reign in England. Softly on, And we shall wreck them. Oh ! how finely plann'd— To rob the arch-prelate's meeting of its lustre And then to clutch the grant ! All still at Oxford,— .A.v, and at Cambridge too—no mouse is stirring— We'll take 'em in their sleep, or, if perchance The wake, the deed is done, and all is over ! Methinks 1 see my Priestley rise again To hear our story. He listens to the tale With silent rapture—bishops and churches fall, Tithes cease, and church-rates are no more. Oh ! how it glads them to enjoy the sight Of wandering curates and of exiled parsons! Philosophers ascend the pulpit, and their text Is rerolution—changing was his pleasure, And now he sees its triumph—versions old' and new— The Rhemish and the Douay—above all The unitarian—papists, dissenters, churchmen, Ali learn at once, and all confound each other : 'Tis Babel—hut that Babel charms his ear. These are thy glorious works, parent of mischief To the parsons—thine this scheme of ruin To England's church ! 0, Russell, thy forefathers Did rob the church of Rome, and thou repay'st The debt thou owest. Wyse and O'Connell wait To take thy offering. Thrice thirty thousand Were but a scantling of thy obligation. Hash ! and we'll take the whole—not one mite - wanting Of centuries yet unpaid; but silence—hush ! Stanley and Peel do watch our footsteps—hush ! Once get the grant, and we'll be cowards no longer. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE QUEEN'S MISTAKE. The Queen can do no wrong, says the " old saw," but Lord Melbourne, in the shape of a " modern in stance," very unequivocally declared that the Queen may occasionally lie under a pretty considerable mis take. " The statement," says Lord Viscount Mel bourne, " was, that Sir Robert Peel had required the power of dismissing the ladies of the household, not stating the extent to which he would put it in execu tion, but leaving it on her Majesty's mind that he meant to carry it out, to a very great extent. He did not say that the statement itself was erroneous, but that he now believed the impression on her Majesty's mind to have been erroneous." So then, all her Majesty's high-minded determina tion—her Majesty's noble resolution—her Majesty's bold defiance of the tyrant tories—her Majesty's touch ing appeal to the sympathies of her people—sweet sym pathisers that they are !—her Majesty's heroic self-de votion to the cause of liberality—her Majesty's mag nanimous resistance to the demands of an overbearing faction—her Majesty's devoted fidelity to the friends of her Majesty's early youth, and so forth—all the stage tricks and touching tableaux exhibited during the last week to the admiring eyes of her Majesty's faithful subjects on the boards of Buckingham-place—have been mere moonshine and misconception—mere error and false apprehension—simply and absolutely a politi cal flash in the pan ! It was all a mistake ! If her Majesty had not sup posed that you meant to go a great deal farther than the removal of Lady Normanby and the Hon. Ladies Howard—if her Majesty had not, by an unfortunate obtuseness of understanding, failed-to — pere - eive that your objections were directed Only against these ladies, and the slandereis of Lady Flora Hastings—if, in a word, her Majesty had not been as dull of apprehen sion as she has proved herself resolved of will, we ne ver would have advised-her to write the note she did to Sir Robert Peel ! Let it not be supposed that, although we have sup plied the clothing of language to these ideas, the sen timents or the statements are ours. They are the state ments of Lord Viscount Melbourne in his place in the House of Lords. The sentiments are his own. He says the Queen was wrong. He declares that she was in error. He admits he was himself led astray by her Majesty's—what shall we say:?—stupidity, or miscon ception, or want of habituation to business ?—we can find no language so apt as his own, and we therefore use it—by the " erroneous impression on her Majesty's mind." Her Majesty, says Lord Melbourne, erroneously imagined that Sir Robert Peel desired the dismissal of her whole household—that Sir Robert Peel meant to act up to the system of his predecessors in office, and was resolved, to use Lord Melbourne's own words, not to let an opposition cat mew about the palace ;" and so, under this erroneous impression, her Majesty conveyed her ideas of the affair to her advisers; and they, having her Majesty's authority for the presump tion, and takino- it for granted that there would be an entire turning of the tables if Peel got in, dictated that short and dry communication which compelled the new administration to throw up their engagement, It simply comes to this—that Lord Melbourne has found it necessary to open a door for the re-admission of Sir Robert Peel ; and the course he takes is to al lege that the whole matter was a mistake, not of his own, but of her Majesty. We protest we do not believe it. We believe the truth of the matter to be this : that but for a moment ary hope of reconciling the radicals, there never would have been one word of dissent to the customary mi nisterial arrangements in the household; that in a moment of renewed hope, springing from the fallacious prospect of a radical coalition, this despicable experi ment was struck out by some of the more practised intriguers of the Cabinet; that the hopes of radical assistance having since vanished, and Peel's return to power being now as inevitable as ever, some pretext must be found to secure a second retreat ; that the readiest - pretext is to say, oh ! it is all a mistake ; and that the cry, not of peccavimus, but of erravimus, has been raised accordingly. But was it fair or manly to make the Queen their scape-goat ? GREAT BRITAIN AND THE WHIG PETTICOAT PENSIONERS. (From the Bolton Chronicle. If ever a nation was degraded by her ministers, England at present is. The true principles of politics, and the.most imperative demands of morals are alike unheeded. We are burdened by a body of men who possess neither talent, integrity, nor the public confi denec—,-men who have hurt religion, encouraged pro fligacy, defied decency, .and betrayed the people. The court is corrupted—the throne compromised. The highest situations of public life, from which good ex amples and the sternest probity should flow, contribute only baseness and profligacy to the funds of 'rational government.' In spite of the votes of the people's re presentatives, the whigs still dare to insult the nation by resuming the reins of office. Are we Pagans, that we endure further aggressions upon the Christian faith ? Are we debased so far that our morals resem ble more the code of conduct patronised by Mingrelian barbarians, than the upright rules of society adopted and enforced in a civilized land ? - Are we so indiffe rent to the dearest interests of the country that we permit them to be sacrificed for the sake of a few gos sipping women, who happen to be the owners of cer tain pretty coronets ? We verily believe it would ,be no disadvantageous exchange, did the whig ministry take the places of the ladies of the bedchamber, and the ladies of the bedchamber become ministers of fe, and form themselves into a political petticoat go- The only difference would be, that instead of having a parcel of old women to rule over us, we should be enabled to • console ourselves under the in flictions of whiggery, by knowing that our tormentors were perhaps young and " fair to look upon." But one point in the late contemptible proceedings is deserving of strict attention. It is this. The whigs, finding the Commons adverse to their colonial policy regarding the Jamaica - House of Assembly, resigned. 'Fhe Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel were called upon to construct a new administration. The evil intrigues of one or two female relatives of the whigs :suggeste.cl to the Duke and Sir Robert the necessity for their dismissal, in order that the policy of the new overnment might not be subjected to the adverse re , present4tiOnS which .such parties might be instructed- to il ialig . to the, eaueen their mistress.

Let them extricate them selves from this hobble if they are able. PENNY POSTAGE. The Post Circular, a London publication devoted evclusively to the circulation of information respecting the subject of postages, and of which twelve numbers have now been published, presents its readers with an engraved plate of the stamp cover, which will be used if this measure come into operation. The engraving is very neat, and is broader, but not so long, as the back of an ordinary sized letter; a blank of an oval shope is left in the middle, where the sender will insert the address of his letter ; below that is marked " Price. d.—matter not'to exceed one half ounce'," which will accordingly be altered to 2d. 3d. &c., according as the letter may weigh one ounce, two ounces, &c. A sup ply of these is intended to be kept at the stamp-office, by stationers, and other shopkeepers. In speaking of this part of the subject; the Post Circular says,— " A plate of this description having been produced, any number of fac-simile plates can be made from the original one, so that numerous impressions may be taken at one operation ;• the plates being so adjusted as to admit of large sheets of paper being impressed at once, and those sheets cut up to the proper dimensions in the usual manner, practised printers would give any required number of envelopes ; the original plate would at all times be preserved to make fresh plates from as those in use were worn out. As to speed of execu t" on, about 1,000 impressions per hour can be well printed from one plate only ; and one plate is capable of enduring many millions of impressions —say 10,000,000—without any very material deterioration, if carefully adjusted, in the first instance, to the machine by which they are printed, and if the paper on which they are printed be not too harsh in its texture, and free from grit.—As regards the - difficulty of the execution of the plate, but little need be said, for there is nothing more absurd than to suppose that what can be ef fected by one man or men is not to be accomplished by others, when the process is purely mechanical. But if ghch a stamp be combined with any peculiar paper, also requiring the use of machinery in its manufacture, (which involves an outlay of great capital,) forgery may be completely guarded against. A forger could not produce this stamp, on a paper expressly manufactured by order of the government, in suffi cient numbers to be profitable, (were he able to secure a safe market for them,) for less than an outlay of several thousands of pounds. He must first learn how to engrave the stamp ; then possess a very complicated machine to engrave it; he must possess a costly machine to print it ; he must also com mand a paper-mill, with other very costly machinery, to make the paper ; and, lastly, possessing all these, he is at the mercy of not less than a dozen persons absolutely neces sary for these several processes, any one of whom may inform against him." To this it might have been added, that the profit likely to arise from such a forgery would be very small, almost nothing compared to the successful counterfeit of a bank-note plate. SIR ROBERT PEEL. At the present moment the following sketch of this distinguished statesman will be acceptible to our read ers. It is from Random Recollections of the House of Commons, published in 1836. The author is a whig radical, far from favourably disposed to Sir Robert's principles, absolutely unjust to some of his high per sonal qualities, but constrained to admit his command ing powers in debate : He is (1836) in the prime of life, being forty-seven years of age. His whole appearance indicates health. His con stitution is excellent, and his temperate habits have seconded the kindly purposes of Nature. He is capable of undergoing great physical fatigue. I have known him remain in the house for three or four successive nights till one and two o'clock, not only watching with the most intense anxiety the progress of important debates, but taking an active part in the proceedings, and yet be in office, transacting business of the greatest moment, by ten o'clock on the following morn ing. Sir Robert is possessed of business habits of the first order. He can descend, when there is a necessity for it, to the minutest circumstances in a great question, and master them all as fully as if he had never had a thought beyon 1 the pale of such matters. He was never yet known to bungle any measure from ignorance of business details. * * Sir Robert . Peel is perhaps the best and most 'effective speaker in the house. He is always fluent, even in his most extemporaneous addresses. His language is uniformly cor rect, and generally eloquent. He is never at a loss for - words. These he has almost invariably at his command in abundance, even when lie is deficient in every thing having the semblance: of argument. He is remarkably dexterous in debate. I have often admired the wonderful expertneSs with which he has extricated himself from the awkward positions into which his opponents have thrust him. His self-possession, which scarcely ever forsakes him is of vast importance to him ; and, in conjunction with his singularly good tact, enables him to make the most of a bad case. * * * * In his manner Sir Robert Peel is highly dignified, and his delivery is generally graceful. He usually commences his most important speeches with his left hand resting on his side. His utterance on such occasions is slow and solemn in the outset ; but when he advances to the heart of his subject he becomes animated and speaks with some rapidity, but always with much distinctness, His enunciatio n i s clear ; and few speakers possess a greater power over their voice. He can modulate its soft and musical tones at pleasure. He is sometimes humourous, on which occasions his manner has an irresistibly comic effect. His jokes, when he does indulge in them, are almost invariably good, though often too refined to tell with effect on any other than-an intellectual audience. It is, however, but comparatively seldom that he makes any effort at wit. His forte manifestly lies in the serious mode of address. He excels all men I ever knew in deep tragedy : in that he is quite at home. No man in the House can appeal with a tittle of the effect with which he can, to the fears of his audience ; and he is too good a tactician not to know, that a good deal more may be accomplished by addressing in this strain an audience who have rank and property to lose, than by cold argumentative orations. Hence the staple of his principle speeches consists of a forcible and skilful exhibi tion of the alleged frightful consequences which will inevitably flow from the adoption of a course of policy different from that which he recommends. On such occasions his appear ance and manner are as solemn as if he were commissioned to stand up and proclaim that the world has come to an end. And he usually produces a corresponding effect. The deepest stillness pervades the House while he is speaking. Even in the gallery, where there is generally a great deal of noise from the exits and the entrance of strangers, the falling of a pin might be heard. All eyes are fixed on Sir Robert. Honoura ble members, of all parties, are, for the time, spell-bound. Their reason is taken prisoner. The feelings obtain a tem porary triumph over the understanding. The solemnity of the speaker is communicated to the hearers. No smile is seen to play on the countenances of even the most lively and strenuous of his opponents. All are as grave as if some ques tion of the deepest importance to them individually were about to be decided. Sir Robert is a speaker whom one would never tire of hearing. I have often heard Mtn speak for two or three hours at a time, but never knew an instance of an honourable member quitting the house because he felt Sir Robert's oration to be tedious. On the contrary, the regret always is that he does not continue longer. Sir John. Hobhouse was, I am sure, only expressing the feeling enter tained by every member in the House, when he said, imme diately before the resignation of Sir Robert in April last, that if any thing could reconcile him to the continuance in office of the right honourable baronet, it would be the pleasure of hearing him speak. * * * * * * * Sir Robert's manners both in and out of Parliament, are most conciliatory. He treats every person with whom he comes into contact with the utmost respect. He has a won derful command of temper. I never yet knew him, even in the teat of debate, use a single irritating word to any oppo nent. And the same courtesy and respect with which he treats others, are, as it•is right they should be, reciprocated by them. Sir Robert has not only no personal enemies, but is held in the highest esteem by the most virulent of his opponents. It is the abstraction—the particular class of opinions of which he is the most distinguished champion, and not himself, as an individual, against which the liberal party direct their uncompromising hostility. * * There is not a man in the house more sensitive on the subject of honour than Sir Robert. You may apply to him epithets which are synonimous with fool, blocked, &c., if you please, and he utters not a word of complaint : you may brand him with the name of bigot in politics or religion, or both, if you are so inclined, and he murmurs not a word of resentment • but charge him with anything, either in his pri vate or public capacity, inconsistent with the character of a man of honour, and that moment he demands an explana tion, which if not satisfactory', and accompanied by a full re traction, will be followed up, before he quits the house, by a challenge to a hostile meeting the ensuing morning. Sir Robert Peel never speaks on any great question until immediately before the close of the debate, however often that debate may be adjourned. His object is two-fold—first, that he may hear all that may be urged on the opposite side; and, secondly, that he may have the benefit of the " last word." No man can be, most anxious than he is of the ad vantage to the cause he espouses of a skilful reply, imme diately before the division, to the principal arguments of the leading speakers on the adverse side ; and certainly no man that ever sat within the walls of parliament could display more consummate tact than he does in turning that advan tage to account. Never was debater more acute in detecting the weak points of an adversary, nor more happy in exposing and placing them in the most prominent point of view. And all this he seems to do with the greatest ease ; without any appearance of effort. What he does on the spur of the mo ment is as well and effectively done as if it had been the re sult of months of premeditation. In his replies to speeches which were delivered but for a few hours before, there is a propriety of arrangement—a lucidness of manner—a vigour and closeness of reasoning—a purity and eloquence of style —a felicity in the delivery—and a fullness and completeness in the argument, which could not have been surpassed had the speech cost him weeks of the most careful preparation Genius and talent are to be found in a thousand places be ides the highest, if one only knew where to hit upon them. —Theodore Hook. Prince George of Cambridge, after spending six months at Gibraltar, left the Rock for Malta on the 25th of April. During his royal highness's residence on the Rock, the prince seized every opportunity of improving his information on military tactics, theoretically as well •is by practice ; and not a person in the garrison could have felt otherwise than proud when witnessing the novel sight of a prince of the blood sharing with the officers the usual routine of duty. AN INPOSTOR OirrwirrEn. On Saturday night, an Irishwoman, named Quinn, was apprehended on suspicion of 'having stolen nine pairs of gloves from Mr. Moscrop's shop, some of which she had pledged at Mr. Whitmore's, and others she had also offered to pledge at Mr. Fletcher's in the Park. On the Sunday, she complained very much, and said that she wanted to see her child ; and early on Monday morning, she was to all appearance taken much worse; for she took no breakfast, and lay quite stiff and motionless upon her bed as if dead.. The officers were quite alarmed, and a medical gntleman was sent for, who immedi ately discovered that she was acting dead ; that, in fact, she " ailed nothing." The doctor recommended in her hearing, that her hair should be cut off, and that a large blister should be applied to her chest; (though not with the intention of harrying his recipe into operation.) This advice, however, had no advice upon the woman, nor could she be prevailed upon to move, until he desired the officers to order her dis missal from prison, stating that she must dress herself, and go about her business. This recipe had the desired, effect, for she began to hem and oh dear little, 4nd. then -to dres . s 4ierself, and wherLdeiiieilt/rtiwishaaer,gt-befitr& die left, she managed that operation also ; but when in the sweet hope of quitting her cell, we may guess her astonishment when told she must wait a little, and first have a hearing before the magistrates. Her old complaint returned, but not quite in so severe a manner as before. Perceiving herself outdone in her imposition, she complained bitterly. She was com mitted to take her trial.—Stockport paper, SELECT EXTRACTS ZINC MILK-PAILS.—Among the patents lately taken out in America, one is a process for extracting cream from milk by the use of zinc. It is said, that, if zinc be put into the milk-pall, or the milk be put into a vessel made of that sub stance, the same milk will yield a greater proportion of cream or butter.—Repertory of Inventions. A JEW DE MOT.—Somebody asked a wealthy Jew to take venison. ":No," said the capitalist, " I never eat whenshen ; I don't tink it so coot as mutton." Oh," said his friend, " I wonder at your saying so ; if venison is not better than mutton, why does venison 'Cost so much more ?" " Vy, I will tell you vy ; in dish varld de people always prefersh vat ish deer sheep." TEA IN TARTARY.—Throughout the great Tartarian dis trict lying between the empires of Muscovy and China, tea is taken with an ardour and frequency which must astonish even all European votaries of that highly-valued leaf. In the kingdom of Koendoz, nothing is done without it ; tea being handed round at all times and hours, and giving a character to conversation of the most sociable and agreeable kind. The Usbecs, who, above all, are extravagantly attached to this beverage, drink it with such delicate adjuncts as salt or fat, instead of sugar ; invariably exclude milk from the mixture ; and, when the pot' has been duly drained by a party, divide the leaves, and chew them like tobacco. MR. CROSS'S INSECTS,—Dr. Warwick, in a lecture at Manchester, denies that Mr. Crosse has discovered any new insect. He visited him, and obtained two of those said to be newly discovered, and put them under-Mr. Tyrrell the bar rister's splendid compound microscope. Mr. Tyrrell imme diately on looking on them, said that he knew the insect ; it was a curious one, indeed the most interesting of all the mites. Mr. Warwick then told him, that one of them was the insect discovered by Mr, Crosse. "Oh !" said Mr. T., " Mr. Crosse has got a nest of them in his house, and some of them have found their way into his apparatus ; that is the true history of it." ATTACHMENT OF FISHES.—I once had occasion to ob serve the strength of friendship which can exist even between fish. I was accustomed to keep some gold fish in a large glass globe. I do not think that I should do so now, for whatever care I might take of them, still it was a state of imprisonment to which I was dooming them. It so happened that from some cause, the nature of which I do not now re collect, my stock was diminished to two • I gave away one of them. The other from that moment refused to eat, he lay motionless at the bottom of the water, and, as I thought, was evidently pining away. It struck me that he was mourn ing the loss of his companion. I shall never forget the evident joy and strange antics to which he abandoned him self when his companion was restored to him.—Youatt on Humanity to Brutes. DEFINITION OF THE WORD " GENT."—A gent. is an individual of that genus for whose particular eyes cheap stocks, and flash garments at alarmingly low prices, are ticketed all round Charing Cross—as shooting jackets for parties who don't know one end of a gun from the other, pilot coats for street-going swells, who would indeed be pleasant people in a gale of wind, &c. A gent. is he to whom the assiduous Boots proffers a pair of dirty slippers, and in which, nothing revolted, the party sits at ease at his tea or brandy and water, exchanging facetiousness with, or extracting conversation from, the waiter. A gent. is the person whom the coachman does not even turn to look at, as he says " Chuck down that gent's carpet bag, Bill—come now, he alive !—imparting an added dose of the principle of vitality to the galvanised Wil liam in a very surprising manner—the person whose offered cigar the discerning candidate of the four bag probably de clines, while he accepts the pinch from a gentleman's civility. There is a tournure about a gent. which there is no mistaking —the superior ease of a gentleman is not the criterion, for a gent. is consurnately at his ease in all positions, though some of them are not happily chosen.—Blackwoodfor May. LIBERALISM REPUGNANT TO TRUE ENGLISH FEELING. —The people of England are a sedate, a rational, and a feel ing people. They have no love of change ; they suspect in novation without utility as the sign of coming evil. They are• not, like one branch of the foreigner, dissatisfied unless they see churches and constitutions shifting before them with ra pidity of scenes in a theatre ; nor like another, always look ing on earth and heaven distorted through a metaphysic fog. They love to follow their old pursuits in peace, and to reve rence the old institutions which made their forefathers great and happy. They are the last people in the world to clear the ground for new fabrics of polity or faith by breaking up the tombs of their ancestors. Ascribing their pros perity and their virtue to the united influence of a regulated freedom and a scriptural religion, they will not patiently see either torn down. And thus guarding the principles, they will equally guard the rites and organs of th e i r national in tegrity. They will not suffer marriage, of all human ties the holiest and most essential, to be loosened into a vulgar bar gain ; nor baptism to be degraded into a superfluous cere mony. Nor will they suffer their universities, the noblest strongholds of learning and sacred truth in the world, to be stormed before their eyes; and stormed not for the purposes of tenancy, but of dilapidation. They will look with disdain on the conscience that - exhibits its new-found sensibility in the 'evasion of notorious contract • and will utterly refuse to join in the confiscation of the oldest property of the realm under the cloak of the voluntary principle—that bill of in demnity for every meanness and every fraud of man. They will look with still deeper disdain on religionists hurrying from the extremes of opinion into an unhallowed embrace, reconeiledilaVVY-conspiracy, and compromising their mu tual antipathies only in sacrilege. Finally, they will remem ber, that England has been twice brought to the verge of ruin within less than two centuries, by both schism and supersti tion ; that she escaped, in the first instance, only through the havoc of a civil war and, in the second, only througla the perils of a revolution ; and they will not have the mad ness to provoke a third hazard, only to escape by miracle. — Dr. Croly's Visitation Sermon. ADVICE TO COTTAGERS.—Let this be your first rule, that whatever you do, you do it well, you do it thoroughly. Many a man is tempted to undertake too much, to engage in too many things, and, consequently, to do nothing well. He incurs often the expense, but does not reap the fruits of his outlay, whether in labour or in money. He is apt to say, for instance, when order and neatness are recommended to him, " All this looks well ; it is very suitable for a gentle man, what does it signify to a poor man lik e m y se lf?' The real answer to such doubts, the offspring of indolence, is, that neatness and order are economy; and is it nothing for a poor man to avoid waste ? in other words,, to practise economy ? Is it nothing to a labouring man to be able to wake his tools last longer by a little care than they would without that care ? to make his clothes serve him and his family better for being put out of harm's way when they are no longer wanted? Is it nothing to a poor man that the fur niture of his house should supply his wants for as long atime as possible ? and thus that he should be saved from the ex pence of having to replace it ? yet the only means of ensur ing these objects are order and neatness, or, as it may be explained in short, by having a place and time for every thing to be kept to its time and place. I have often seen, from a want of attention to this rule, children, and men too, labo riously collecting a scanty supply of manure from what they can pick up on the roads, when they allow the offscourings of their own houses to run not only to waste, but to become a nuisance to themselves and others ; whereas had they but taken the trouble to collect these in a hole, through a drain, which any man might make to his house, at the expense of a little labour, he would possess more manure than the utmost labour of himself and family would enable him to draw to gether from other sources —more, probably, than his garden would require—and he would have the advantage of a clean, pleasant, and healthy dwelling. These are advantages spring ing directly from care, industry, and forethought; and there are many incidental benefits to be derived from these sources, which will never be guessed at till the time comes when they may be enjoyed. There are, also, many incidental losses and inconveniences not, perhaps, to be foreseen, that may be be avoided in this way.—" Cottage Gardening," Saturday Magazine. CULINARY MATTERS IN GENOA,—In passing through the streets of Genoa, it is amusing to look at the culinary occupations going on in each ; with the exception of the three principal ones. Nor is there aught disgusting in the process, or in the odours exhaled • for the oil used in the jrituras is of the pure olive, and the cooks are not only scru pulously clean in. their dress, but the utensils they employ look equally so. Here the polenta, polpetta, and ravioli, the three favourite dishes of Genoa, are prepared; and great is the demand for them, and the avidity with which they are devoured. But not only are the national dishes thus cooked in the streets, but shops are in each, and ranged on the quays, in which edibles of a more costly nature are to be procured ; and where cutlets and capons, smoking hot, tempt by their savoury odours the appetites of the passers-by. in the back of these shops are stoves, round which are placed all the necessary apparatus for cooking ; and the proprietor, with one or two assistants, white-capped and aproned, with knife in belt, stand ready to boil, stew, fry, or broil, according to the wish of their visitors. A portion of the shop is devoted to undressed dainties, which are seen peeping forth from green leaves and snowy napkins, waiting to be selected by some pedestrian epicure, who may see his dinner cooked, and eat it on the spot, in a very short space of time. * * Men and women roll barrows through the streets, piled with trays, on which various kinds of comestibles ,are disposed, and thus serve the inmates of the different artisans' houses, who are saved the trouble of cooking, and the expense and heat of fires. The cleanliness of these people, as well as that of the articles on which the food is placed, precludes the disgust one might experience at beholding such a constant succession of eatables passing arid repassing • and it is amu sing to witness the e agerness w ith which their approach is hailed.—Lady Blessington's Idler in Italy. SHAKSPEARE'S COURTSHIP OF ANNE HATHAWAY.— " How dost like our Ann's singing ?" inquired John Hatha way, when his daughter had lett the chamber to put the chil dren to their beds. " Very exceedingly, Ido assure you," replied the youth, with a notable sincerity. " Humph !" ex claimed the father, as though he were a thinking of something he cared not to give speech to : " indeed she hath a sweet throat." Nothing more was said on that head at the mo ment ; and they again talked of country matters, till his host could not any longer contain his great wondering at his guest's marvellous insight into such things, and inquired how he ac quired it ; whereupon the other truly answered he got it by questioning of those whose business it was. In good time the yeoman's daughter returned, andbusied herself with pre parations for supper, taking care, whenever she could, to have her share in the discourse, which she did with a pretty sprightliness exceeding) T agreeable to her young admirer. Seeing her attempting to move the great table nigher the fire, 'he must needs jump up, and, with a graceful officiousness, seek to do it himself, the which she appeared to object to in some manner ; and there was a little arming of the matter betwixt them, the father looki ng o n w ith b a glimmering smile, as if he could see in it something exceeding pleasant. The end was, that the two young people carried the table together, manifestly to their extreme satisfaction. In due time; the rashers were done, and, with a store of other wholesome victual, were put on a fair white cloth that covered the table; and William Shakspeare was pressed with blunt courtesy by the father, and a more winning persuasiveness by the daugh ter, to partake of the fare set before them. This he essayed to do with a notable good will. After this the blooming Anne brewed a goodly posset, and, whilst they were enjoying it, her father called on her to sing him a little song, the which she seemed a little—a very little—to hesitate upon, with a sort of pretty coyness time out of mind customary under simi lar circumstances ; but, after the handsome youth ha pressed her with an excellent show of rhetoric, she sung a ditty then popular, concerning of " The little pretty nightingale ; and, at least, one of the listeners thought it exquisite singing. Then John Hathaway would needs have a song of his guest, to the which his daughter added her intreaties so prettily, the youth ful Shakspeare found it impossible to resist, whereupon lie commenced the singing of a favourite love-Song of the time, beginning, "If I had wytt to endyte." The words were of a pleasant conceit, which gained considerably in admirable ness by the manner of his singing ; and the tune, by means of his rich, fclear voice, came upon the air a very river of melody. Whether the yeoman liked the song could only be told by the pleasure lurking in the corners of his mouth, and shining quaintly, in his half-closed eyelids, which might be interpreted he saw more in it than the singer imagined ; how ever, that his daughter relished it there could be no question ing, for her smiles were full as evident as her praises. " Now friend Will, thee must be agoing," exclaimed John Hathaway at least, in his usual plain countryman sort of manner. " Tis my custom, to go to bed with the lamb; and rise with the lark —an excellent gcsad custom I'll warrant—so I'll e'en bid thee a fair good night ; ,neurtheless I will add to. it, I shall be happy to see thee at all times, and, if I be not at home, per chance Anne will be as happy to see thee as myself." He said this with a look of humour that shone through all the staidness of his aspect, and, shaking his visitor heartily by the hand, he opened the door for his exit. His daughter denied not a word of what her father had said. Indeed, her lances, as she bade the youth good night, as plainly said, `Come again," as ever was expressed by a pair of bright eyes since theyorld began.—Youth Shakspeare. BOARDING SCHOOL FARE.--" And do you live well, my poor boy ?" said Cuthbert. " Lots of grub," said Tom, sich as it is. Sundays we has baked beef—long bony bits —hunder done, and plenty of ard pudden. Saturdays, scrapings and stick-jaw. Hobliged to bolt all the fat, elsewe kitches toko. They gives us swipes for dinner and supper, with cheese as ard as hiron, hand as black as my at ; but they tells us it's olesome."—Gurney Married. FAMILY NAME OF THE WELLESLEYS—COWLEY.—The name has been written Cooley and Colley, which last is the modern mode of spelling it in Ireland ; but with regard to its English descent there can be no doubt, from many well authenticated facts. In Glaiston church there is a monu ment to Walter Colley, and Agnes, his wife. This Walter was lord of the manor in 1407.—. Alexander's Life of the Duke of Wellington. RUSTIC ACUMEN.—A short time since one of the beadles of Brighton took a quantity of butter from a countryman, because it was deficient in weight ; and meeting him a few days after in a public-house, said to him, " You're the man I took twenty pounds of butter from." " No, I bean't," replied Hodge. "I am sure you are," says the beadle. " I tell ye I bean't," rejoined the countryman ; " and if thee lik'st I'll lay thee a guinea on't." " Done !" replied the beadle ; and the money was quickly posted. " Now," says the countryman, " thou didst t a k e t wen ty l um ps of butter from me ; but if they had been twenty pounds, you'd have no right to take them ; and this," continued he, very coolly pocketing the money, " will pay me for the loss of the but ter." RURAL SIMPLICITY.--A young lady, who had never been out of the sound of Bow-bell, and whose ideas of a country life were formed from reading " Thomson's Seasons," re ceived an invitation to spend a few weeks with her aunt about forty miles from London ; and was extremely disap 7 pointed at the total absence of that moral elegance, that Ar cadian simplicity, which she had pictured to herself of a country life. One day, however, she considered herself for tunate in encountering a shepherd returning from the fields, with hook in hand, quite ala Corydon. " Youth," said the citoyenne, " why have you hot your pipe with you ?" " Be kase, ma'am," answered he, " I han t got no backee." THOMAS CARN, AGED 207 YEARS.—Of this venerable in dividual, the following account is given in Taylor's Annals of Health and Long Life:-" The most remarkable instance of longevity which we meet with in British history is that of Thomas Cam, who, according to the parish register of St. Lesnard's, Shoreditch, died on the 28th of January, 1588, at the astonishing age of 207 years. He was born in the reign of Richard 11., anno. 1381, and lived in the reign of twelve kings and queens, namely, Richard 2nd, Henry 4th, sth, and 6th, Edward 4th, and sth, Richard 3rd, Henry 7th, and Bth, Edward 6th, Mary, and Elizabeth. The veracity of this statement may be readily ascertained by any person who chooses to consult, the above register."--Curtis on Health. PIETY OF THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—The Duchess Dow ager of Beaufort has been the means of much spiritual good among the higher ranks of society. L happen to know that she carries on an extensive correspondence with persons in her own station of life, on the subjeet of evangelical and ex perimental religion. Among her Grace's correspondents on purely religious topics, is the Queen Dowager Adelaide, I can state with certainty, that since the Queen Dowager left this country, twelve months ago, for Malta, for the benefit of her health, she has written her Grace a series of letters which indicate a remarkable spirituality of feeling, a most intimate acquaintance with the Scriptures, and the clearest views of evangelical truth.—Metropolitan Pulpit; by the Author of " Random Recollections." THE LATE MR. IRVING'S FIDELITY AS A PREACHER. — A friend of mine who was presefit at the time, lately men tioned to me, that on one occasion, after dwelling on the frightful extent to which the Sabbath-day is desecrated by persons moving In the higher spheres of society, he pointed to a particular part of the chapel in which were seated a num ber of noblemen and ladies of title, and said with great emphasis—" And you are the men and women who commit these sins. You are the persons who are in the constant habit of profaning God's holy day." Those only who have heard Mr. Irving preach, can form any idea of what the effect of this apostrophe must have been. His uncompro mising boldness and unshrinking fidelity as a preacher of the gospel, have often reminded me of John Knox charging Mary Queen of Scots with particular sins, when surrounded by all the splendour of her court.—The fetropolitan Pul pit; by the Author of " Random Recollections." A DAY AT A LADY'S SCHOOL.—I'II tell you my course.

WARMTH DURING CHILDHOOD NECESSARY.—" In stinct," says Dr. Edwards, " leads mothers to keep their infants warm, though philosophers, by more or less spacious reasoning, have, at different times, and in different coun tries, induced them to abandon this guide, by persuading them that external cold would fortify the constitutions of their children, as it does those of adults. Mortality from cold is not confined to children whom the misery of their parents cannot guard from the rigour of the weather, but it operates to a great extent, without being either perceived or suspected, in families enjoying affluence, and in which it is believed that the necessary precautions are taken, because, cold being relative, it is difficult from our own feeling to judge of its effects on others. Children may not feel the cold, but they have an uneasiness and indisposition which arises from it ; their constitution becomes deteriorated by passing through the alternations of health and disease, and they sink under the action of an unknown cause. The con stitution is altered without the effect being suspected." SWEDISH SOLDIERS.—A company of soldiers, as I thought from their appearance, of the foot-guards, marched into town yesterday, and the captain and six men were billeted upon my landlord. They were remarkably fine-looking gre nadiers, well dressed in white round jackets, with yellow epaulets and blue trousers, and all their appointments seemed substantial, clean, and soldier-like. Their evening parade upon the street before our door struck me very much. After the roll was called, and the reports and orders delivered, the commanding officer called one of the soldiers out of the ranks, it appeared to me without turn or selection; and the whole company taking off their caps at once, this man re peated the Lord's Prayer, after which they all sang a hymn very beautifully, and the parade was dismissed. This morn ing early, about two o'clock, the company mustered before the door again to march to their next halting-place before the heat of the day set in. Between sleeping and waking, I heard the same service repeated—the Lord's Prayer, and a morning hymn sung, before they marched off. The service was not hurried over. It lasted from fifteen to twenty minutes, and was gone through as slowly and solemnly as in any religious meeting. This is a remnant of the military practice of the great Gustavus Adolphus, which has been re tained in the Swedish service since the Thirty Years' War. —Laing's Tour in Sweden. DEATH OF TIPPOO SULTAN.—The assailants were com pelled to halt, until the 12th, crossing the inner ditch, took him in flank ; and he retreated, fighting, towards the gate of the inner fort. Here he mounted his horse ; and the British pressing on, he made for the gate, followed by his palanquin, and a number of officers and troops. Here he received a musket-ball in the right side, but still kept his seat till he was stopped half-way through the arch, where he was struck by a second ball, close to the other. His horse being also wounded sunk under him, and his turban fell to the ground. He was raised up by his officers, now fast falling around him, and placed in his palanquin, where he lay exhausted ; till the sword -belt, r o d p one of the soldiers seized the Sultan's - e b an elt s , n tt i • s h h ic in h g w th a; very rich, and attempted to pull it off. Roused at the indignity, the offended monarch made a cut at the soldier, whom he wounded in the knee, and at the same time was himself shot through the head. He instantly ex pired whera he lay, surrounded by the dead and the dying. When the body was first recognised amidst heaps of slain, the eyes were open, and it was so warm that Col. Wellesley, who was already on the spot, was doubtful whether he did not still breathe ; his ,countenance was no way disturbed, but wore an appearance of fearless calm. His turban, jacket, and sword-belt, were gone ; and an officer who was present, with the leave of 'General Baird, tore off from his right arm the talisman, which contained. sewed up in pieces of fine flowered silk, an amulet, and some magical characters writ ten in Arabic and Persian. The body was placed in the palanquin, and conveyed to the court of the palace—whence he had only that morning issted—still the Sultan of the Mysore.—Alexander's Life of the Duke of 'Wellington. A PATRIARCHAL PREACHER.--A PICTURE.—The Rev. Mr. Wilkinson is now in his 89th year, and as may he imagined, is exceedingly frail. The church in which he preaches is always full, except two or three pews at the bick of the pulpit, where he is not only inaudible, but where the sound of his voice would scarcely be heard. The necessity of being close to this venerable minister of Christ in order to hear what he says, always causes the passages to be densely crowded. Immediately in front of and beside the pulpit, the crowd is so great, that one can hardly move an arm. In the seats, again, which are eight or ten yards from the preacher, the hearers, in their anxiety to catch his feebly uttered words, —made more difficult to catch from an indistinct enunciation, caused, I believe, by the loss of most of his teeth,—stand al most all the time in an attentive listening-attitude, stretching their heads forward, and in many instances, with their hands to theifears. :Poets have often sung and others have often spoken, about persons hanging on the words which proceeded from the lips of some esteemed friend or accomplished orator. I question if ever an assemblage of persons evinced a greater anxiety to bear what 'fell from the lips of any uninspired man, than so many of those who attend the Ministry of Mr. Wil kinson, to catch what proceeds from his mouth. I have sometimes fancied that the scene which is witnessed in his church on such occasions, must have resembled that which was exhibited when Anne of the.patriarclis of whom we; read in the Old Testanient,' called their children and childrens' children around them, to pour their parting blessing on 'their heads. It is a truly touching sight to witness the grave yet serene countenance of this aged minister of Christ when ad dressing his people, in conjunction with the eager attention , and profound personal regard, with which they listen to his tender though feeble accents. They deem every word which proceeds from his, lips to be precious : I had almost said sacred, I have reason to believe that for some time past he has delivered every sermon under the impression that it might be his last ; and I am sure I may say with equal confidence of a majority of his audience, that they hear every discourse of his, under the same impression.—The Metropolitan Pul pit; by the Author of " Random Recollections." HUNTING IN FORMER TIMES.—We find little worthy of record relative to hunting in the reigns of the English mo narchs before th e ti me o f George 111. From an old record discovered not long since at Nottingham Castle, it appears that in 1194 Richard I. chased a hart from Sherwood forest to Barnsdale, itifoiisli;e, — ;nd there lost him. Richard made proclamation at Tunhill, in Yorkshire, and various other places in the ne i g hb our h oo d of Barnsdale, that no one should chase, kill, or hurt the said deer, that he might safely return to his lair, in the forest of Sherwood. In the reign of Henry 111. a heavy fine was inflicted on the proprietor of certain lands in the neighbourhood of the forest of Black more, in Dorsetshire, for having a fine white hart, which had afforded that monarch much amusement (and probably had been several times proclaimed as in the case before men.. tioned.) This fine was termed white-hart silver, and an acknowledgment of which has been paid into the exchequer so late as the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Charles I. was ex tremely partial to the chase; was at the trouble and expense of procuring a wild boar and his mate, from the forests in Germany, and it is said they propagated rapidly in the new forest, and it is not many years since that a breed of pigs, having all of the characteristics of the wild boar, was dis covered in that neighbourhood, and were called forest pigs. In the reign of Charles 11., the Royal Palace at Newmarket, built by James L, to serve as a hunting lodge, but which was destroyed in the civil wars, was rebuilt by thaLeelebrated architect, Sir Christopher Wren. It is said that, when Charles H. came to visit this palace soon after its comple tion, he remarked that he thought the rooms too low. Sir Christopher, who was a man of small stature, walked about them, and looking up, replied, " Indeed, Sire ! and please your majesty, I think they are high enough." The king stooping down to Sir Christopher's height, and creeping about in that posture, cried, " Ay, Sir Christopher, I think they are high enough."—The Sportsman. RPbtppttig FRIDAY, MAY.l7.7Wind_W.
