Vottrp. THE DYING GIRL TO HER LOVER. Farewell, beloved! the evening breeze is stealing Softly around us, and the low, soft sigh Of waters murmuring by Falls on my soul, in gentle tones revealing Visions of future hours, when I shall be Thine but in memory. Wilt thou not sometimes wander forth alone, Beside this tranquil lake, and fondly dwell On all we loved so well? And, as the breeze bears forth each plaintive tone, Will not my spirit seem to hover near, Thy cherish'd voice to hear? • Yet must I leave thee, though thy saddened brow Grows paler than its wont, and each fond smile Fades from thy lip the while : Still would I see thy soul less troubled now, Lest mine be won from loftier feelings, back Unto its earthward track. Fain would I watch thy lonely couch beside, When sickness had o'erspread thy pallid cheek With fever's fearful streak ; Oft have I prayed, let good or ill betide, That I might live to catch each breath and tone, In joy or grief, thine own. Yet hast thou deem'd my warmest love grew cold, When all my soul's fond hopes to thee were given, Too much estranged from heaven ; But there are thoughts and feelings still untold, That flow, like buried streams, for ever on, Unchanging and unknown. I had not said so much in bygone hours, But now my pulse beats feebly, and each breath Seems . to me fraught with death; And, if to call thee mine, when sorrow lours, Can brighten once again thy sunken eye, Then can I calmly die! Calm could I leave this fair and glowing scene Of eve's soft shadows, and of morning's beams — The bliss of early dreams— If less of sorrow on thy brow were seen, And hopes of future hours could chase the gloom That shrouds the lonely tomb. Methinks the night grows chilly, and the breeze Seems not to pour its wonted fragrance round ; Still fainter grows the sound Of night-birds warbling in the moon-lit trees, While on my soul fond hopes and yearnings swell — Mine own in death, farewell ! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. DR. SLEIGH—THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND THE CORPORATION SCHOOLS. (From Me Liverpool Courier.) The Corporation School question, we had thought, was well understood and settled. We were mistaken. A gentleman from the other side of the Atlantic, — whence, indeed, if the extent of the humari capacity is to be inferred from the exalted effects it is capable of producing, scythes, we are told, in that country, being brought to such perfection of edge as sometimes to take off a leg by their shadow, we should be justified in looking for any degree of intellectual acuteness, — this gentleman has discovered, that the opposition of the clergy and friends of the Established Church to the new mode of instruction introduced into those schools was entirely factious, and their objections false ; and he has consequently come out in a pamphlet, de tailing the results of his personal examination into the actual facts of the case, to the complete removal, as he doubtless imagines, of the ignorance, and triumphant refutation of the slanders, previously prevailing in re ference to the subject. The individual we allude to is Dr. Sleigh, who, on the recent revival of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, be came its editor, but held the post only for a very short period. The circumstances under which the connexion was broken off have been related by himself. A cen sorship was exercised over his writings which he did not approve of ; and on one occasion, in particular, having prepared an article against the Corporation School system, to which was appended a note intimat ing his intention personally to inspect the schools, and if he found himself wrong, at once to recant all that he had said, he was surprised to find, on perusing the paper the next day, that the whole of the qualifying paragraph had been struck out. His resignation fol lowed. But though the immediate purpose for which the schools were to be visited was thus set aside, Dr. Sleigh was induced, in compliance, he tells us, with the pressing request of a gentleman with whom he was personally unacquainted, to redeem his pledge. He accordingly visited the schools—we will not be uncha ritable enough to say, though the supposition would be . far from improbable, that he visited them less with the simple desire for information, which had before ac tuated him, than with a desire to find the party in the wrong who had used him, as he conceived, unfairly. The person interrogated in the following dialogue is the head master : Is the BIBLE, the actual Bible, taught in this school? Yes, every day. During, or after school hours ? During school hours. May we be present during the examination ? Most cer tainly ; and you may examine the children yourself. Are all the children taught the Bible ? All, except Roman Catholics. How many Bibles have you got in this school ? Some dozens : I don't remember the exact number. May we be permitted to see and examine them ? Most certainly. Accordingly, we accompanied him to the place where they are kept, and we found there SIXTY-TWO BIBLES, well thumbed in the New Testament !—actual Bibles !—authorised version, " CUM PRIVILEGIO," with the royal arms thereon! We then visited the girl's school, in which we observed great decorum and order. A course of discipline and in struction similar to that in the boys' department is here adopted. From the girls' we proceeded to the infants' school. Here we found children, also, of all religious denominations, and to them all, without exception, the Bible is read every day. We heard them examined, and were much gratified with the order and knowledge of the little infants. In the afternoon we revisited the school, in order to exa mine the boys in the Scriptures. A class of twenty boys, from ten to fourteen years of age, was presented to us. They first proceeded through their daily exercise,—that of reading a chapter in the New Testament, and being examined in the same by the head master. Each boy read a verse : when the chapter was finished, the master examined them in it. They read and answered remarkably well, considering their ages, &c. Upon the second question in the above extract we have a note, informing us that " the writer was very particular in ascertaining this fact, as he had been led to believe, that the reading of the Bible took place only after school hours, and that only occasionally, as a mere ruse de guerre to deceive the public." Now it is really ludicrous to see these stale matters of fact put forth as something that was never known before, and is something of immense importance, while the truth is, that they were. all known long ago, and that they signify nothing. It would have been but creditable modesty in Dr. Sleigh, to have supposed that persons who have been all their lives resident in the town should know more of its affairs than one who has just come over from America. It is not denied that the Bible, " the actual Bible," is taught in the Corporation Schools. It is not denied that it is taught there during school hours. It is not denied that the Roman Catholics receive " Scriptural instruction" out of the Scriptural lesson books. It is not denied that the "version" of the Bible, about which the doctor makes so much foolish parade, with his emphatic typography, and accumulation of epithets, is the authorised version,—that it is printed " cum pri vilegio," and even stamped with "the royal arms.' But does Dr. Sleigh know, or does he not, that on the Corporation Schools changing hands, a certain re solution was passed by the new directors, the reformed Corporation, to the effect that the books of the com missioners of education in Ireland be adopted, and that they have a fair trial previous to the introduction of any other ?" Does he know, or does he not, that these lessons are garbled extracts from Scripture, made fur ther dishonest and mischievous by Popish renderings and Popish glosses ? Does he know, or does he not, that a certain other resolution was passed, to the effect that " an hour in each day be devoted to the religious instruction of those children whose parents do not ob ject, and that such hour be in the afternoon, AFTER THE SCHOOL HAS CLOSED ?" These were the original grounds of the controversy. We appeal to any man of honesty and common sense, whether, supposing these resolutions had been carried into effect, the Bible would not have been absolutely and authoritatively excluded . from the schools during school hours ; and whether, in other respects, such, for instance, as the prohibition of joint prayer, and the introduction of unsound translations of Scripture, and the renunciation of all right to enforce any system of religious instruction whatever, there was not just cause for alarm and opposition on the part of every one anxious for the maintenance of pure Protestant truth in connexion with the established institutions of the land, and for the diffusion of the principles and practice of Christian morality and devotion among its population ? We ask Dr. Sleigh what he would have supposed to be the meaning of the resolutions we have just quoted ? Would he have concluded, that when it was said, the books to be adopted should be the books of the Irish commissioners, and no other, that in reality "the Bi ble—the actual Bible"—was to be taught in the schools, and that " every clay ?" Would he, when it was said that the hour devoted to religious instruction should be an hour in the afternoon, after the school was closed, have thought it necessary to put the question whether the Bible was to be read " during or after school hours," and taken without surprise, as the expression of consistent sincerity, the answer, " During school hours ?" Whatever may be the case with Dr. Sleigh, we humbly confess, that we have no other avenue to men's meaning, generally speaking, but their words; and the words we have quoted, mean what they may, are the recorded resolutions of the education commit tee of the Town-council. They were sufficient for those who deemed it their duty to resist the proposed remodelling of the schools on such a plan, and, if he had been informed of them, as we are willing to be lieve he was not, they ought to have been sufficient for Dr. Sleigh. If we are not to take language in its sim ple and obvious meaning, we may as well interpret backwards all that Dr. Sleigh has written, and suppose him to have given -us a report altogether unfavourable to the Corporation system. The cause of so much seeming contradiction, how ever, next to the superfluous meddling of Dr. Sleigh. is the want of candour on the part of the Corporation School committee. The schools, in fact, are not the schools contemplated in the above resolutions. The ustem at work in them is a widely different system. But no thanks to the Corporation. Thanks to the prompt, bold, decided, and energetic manifestation of indignant public opinion in a Protestant community, I that compelled them to abandon their intentions. And had the school committee been candid enough to have acknowledged their error, or at least their weakness, and have declared the abandonment of their scheme as openly as they declared its adoption, much confu sion, and misapprehension, and contradictory asser tion would have been avoided, the Corporation would mot have needed the assistance of such a champion as Dr. Sleigh, and Dr. Sleigh would have been saved the trouble and mortification of running his head against a post. The Corporation relinquished their design of banishing the Bible during shool hours; but so did Napoleon relinquish his design of ruling France, when he had been beaten at Waterloo : and it would equally accord with truth to praise Napoleon for his modera tion, his sense of justice, and his unambitious spirit, in exchanging empire for exile, as it would to give the Liverpool Corporation credit for, admitting the Bible into their schools 'during the ordinary hours of teach ing. With the disagreement between Dr. Sleigh and the proprietors of the Standard we have, of course, no concern. As, however, the ex-edifor has put forward a specific instance of what he considers improper in terference with him in the discharge of his duties, as a ground of appeal to the public, we have a right to express our opinion upon the merits of the case thus submitted to us ; and we think that the proprietors exercised a very sound discretion, and performed an act of kindness to Dr. Sleigh, by the use they made of the pruning-knife on that occasion. Their object, as they state it themselves, was to prevent the doctor " making a fool of himself" through the medium of their journal. There are times when friendship should break through rules : and though an understanding may have existed that the doctor was to be uncon trolled in his editorial office, yet opportunity may have been wanting for consulting him respecting the medi tated " rape of the postscript," and, as a reasonable man, he could not, on subsequent explanation, have refused to acquiesce in the propriety of the "mutila tion." Others knew, if he did not, the jesuitical sub tlety of the assertion that " the Bible had never been excluded from the schools, either north or south, from the very day they came under the direction of the re formed Town-council." Others knew, if he did not, that this did not matter one straw to the argument, — that the opposition originally raised was raised against the schools not as they now are, but as they were in tended to be,—and that there is still sufficient reason for all who value the Protestant Church Establishment, and sound Scriptural education, to stand aloof from them, though not on the plea, which every one knows would be contrary to fact, that copies of the Scriptures are not to be found, in actual black and white, within the walls of the building. If Dr. Sleigh was such a stranger that he did not know the entire history and real merits of the school question, his ignorance may be excused, but not his arrogance in pretending to enlighten others not so young in local experience as himself. The gist of his complaint against the pro prietors of the Standard is, that he was not allowed to stultify himself by an admission that he had been con demning what he did not understand, but that he would take the earliest opportunity to ascertain whe ther he was right or wrong ! The more sensible way would certainly have been to have informed himself first, and written afterwards. SELECT EXTRACTS.

At the very time we were passing though the Russian fleet, two officers of considerable standing were sent aloft, disgraced before the whole ship's crew, for some trivial misapprehension of orders.—Bremner's Russia. SERFS IN RUSSIA.—Some families, such as Cheremetieffs and Strogonoffs, possess between forty and fifty thousand serfs. One hundred thousand is the largest number we ever heard ascribed to one family. These, however, are the most colossal fortunes. Even one thousand is looked upon as a very respectable share.—Bremner's Russia. If we would but deny ourselves sometimes in uunecesary desires even when it is in our hands to humour ourselves, and gratify our desires, it would be of excellent use ; for we must remember, that as long as the things of this world are empty and finite, our trouble will not end by satisfying, hut by ceasing our desires.—Bishop Patrick. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.—If paper, linen, tow wool, cotton, mats, straw, wood shavings, moss, or soot, be imbued slightly with linseed or hempseed oil, and placed in contact with the sun and air, especially when wrapped or placed in a heap, they very soon become spontaneously hot, emit smoke, and finally burst into flames. If linseed oil maganese be triturated together, the soft lump so formed will speedily be come firm, and ere long take fire.—. Dr. Ure's Dictionary of Arts, Part VIII. An humble man is like a good tree ; the more full of fruit the branches are, the lower they bend themselves. FACE-PAINTING. — Lady Coventry, the celebrated beauty, killed herself while painting. She bedaubed herself with white, so as to stop the perspiration. Lady Mary Wortley Montague was more prudent ; she went often into a hot bath to scrape off the paint, which was almost as thick as plagter on a wall. NEW FACT IN ENGLISH HISTORY.—Henry the Eighth died at Westminster, on Friday, the 28th of January, 1546-7, at two o'clock in the morning. Parliament was then sitting ; but the king's death was kept secret for nearly three days.— Tytler. BOARDING SCHOOL EDUCATION.—" She had in most things a natural good taste, and notwithstanding having been at school, was not, in reality, vulgar, except inasmuch as the least approach to affectation of any kind is vulgar in itself." —Mr. James's " Charles Tyrrell."

The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, Coast ways, and from foreign ports, have been very small since Tuesday last; and although the languid demand then noticed continued on Wednesday and Thursday, at our market, on Friday, there appeared a much better feeling in the trade generally, and sales of almost every article were effected to a fair extent, at the prices of last Tuesday, which were fully supported—more easily obtained—and in some instances a little exceeded. In the Yorkshire and Lanca shire markets of the past week there was also an increased demand, though little alteration in prices; and at Manchester, on Saturday, there was a better demand for Grain from this port, particularly for foreign free Flour, of which a very considerable quantity has found sales during the past week, but a small reduction en last quotations has been submitted to. PUBLIC EDUCATION. (From the Manchester Guardian.) We have just received the copy of a parliamentary docu ment, which, so far as we know, has not yet been published in any of the papers, and to which we have great pleasure in calling the attention of our readers, viz. the minutes of the proceedings of the committee of privy council appointed to superintend the application of such sums as may be voted by parliament for the purpose of promoting the education of the labouring classes ; containing the scheme which, subject to such alterations as experience may hereafter suggest, has been approved of and adopted by the committee. It is as follows : .. ^ "NOIiMAL SCHOOL. To found a school, in which candidates for the office of teacher in schools for the poorer classes may acquire the knowledge necessary to the exercise of their future profession, and may be practised in the most approved methods of religi ous and moral training and instruction. MODEL SCHOOL. This school to include a model school, in which children of all ages, from three to fourteen, may be taught and trained, in sufficient numbers to form an infant school, as well as schools for children above seven. Religious instruction to be considered as general and special. Religion to be combined with the whole matter of instruc tion, and to regulate the entire system of discipline. Periods to be set apart for such peculiar doctrinal instruc tion as may be required for the religious training of Oe chil dren. To appoint a chaplain to conduct the religious instruction of children whose parents or guardians belong to the esta blished church. The parent or natural guardian of any other child to be permitted to secure the attendance of the licensed minister of his own persuasion, at the period appointed for special re ligious instruction, in order to give such instruction apart. To appoint a licensed minister to give such special religious instruction wherever the number of children in attendance on the model school belonging to any religious body dissenting from the established church, is such as to appear to this com mittee to require such special provision. _ A portion of every (11;5* to be devoted to the reading of the Scriptures in the school, uqder the general direction of the committee, and superintendence of the rector. Roman ca tholics, if their parents or guardians require it, to read their own version of the Scriptures, either at the time fixed for reading the Scriptures, or at the hours of special instruction. To arrange the classes in separate rooms, or sections of the same apartment, divided by partitions, so as to enable the simultaneous method to be applied to 40 or 50—children of similar proficiency. To adopt means to assemble a greater number of children for simultaneous instruction on subjects not so technical as to require a division into classes of 50. To include instruction in industry as a special department of moral training of the children. To give such a character to the matter of instruction in the school as to keep it in close relation with the condition of workmen and servants. Besides the physical training of the children in various employments, to introduce such exercises, during the hours of recreation, as will develope their strength and activity. To render the moral training of the children at all times an object of special solicitude. NORMAL SCHOOL. To provide apartments for the residence of the candidate teachers. To construct the class rooms so as to afford the candidate teachers an opportunity of attending each class in the model school, without distracting the attention of the children, or of the other teacher. To provide means for the instruction of the candidate teachers in the theory of their art, and for furnishing them with whatever knowledge is necessary for success in it. To appoint a rector to give lectures on the method and matter of instruction, and on the whole art of taining children of the poor. To regulate the reading and exercises of the candidate teachers, and to examine them. To determine the order in which they may be admitted to the practice of their art in the school, and at length intrusted with the conjoint management of classes, and to superintend their ultimate examination, subject to the rules of this committee, The religious instruction of the candidate teachers to form an essential and prominent element of their studies, and no certificate to be granted unless the authorised religious teacher have previously attested his confidence in the cha racter, religious knowledge, and zeal of the candidate whose religious instruction he has superintended. The religious instruction of all candidate teachers con nected with the Established Church to be committed to the chaplain, and the special religious instruction to be com mitted (in any case in which a wish to that effect is expressed) to the licensed minister of the religious persuasion of the candadate teacher, who is to attend the school at stated periods, to assist and examine the candidate teachers in their reading on religious subjects, and to afford them spiritual advice. The candidate teachers in all other respects to conform to such regulations, as respects the entire internal economy of the household, as may be issued by the rector, with the ap proval of this committee. To provide accommodation in the model school for at least 450 children, who should lodge in the household, viz. 120 infants, 200 boys and girls receiving ordinary instruction, and 50 boys and 50 girls receiving superior instruction, and 30 children probably absent from sickness or other causes. To establish a day school of 150 or 200 children of all ages and both sexes, in which the candidate teachers may realise the application of the best methods of instruction, under the limitations and obstructions which must arise in a small village or town day schdol. GRANTS TO SOCIETIES. A grant not exceeding £2,500 to be made to the National Society, and the British and Foreign School Society, for the establishment of their norman schools ; but no further grant to be made. SECRETARY AND INSPECTORS. To appoint a secretary. . To appoint inspectors, not- exceeding at first two in num ber, to carryon an inspection of schools which ,have been or may be hereafter aided by grants of public money, and to convey to conductors and teachers of private schools in different parts of the country a knowledge of all improve ments in the art of teaching, and likewise to report to this committee the progress made in education from year to year. GRATUITIES TO TEACHERS. To grant gratuities to such teachers as may appear to de serve encouragement. GRANTS FOR BUILDING SCHOOLS. Not to adhere invariably to the rule which confines grants to the National Society and the British and Foreign School Society, and not to give the preference in all cases whatever to the school to which the largest proportion is subscribed. To advance in no case more than one-half of the expense of building a school. To expend in grants for the building of schools not more in any one year than £10,000." We believe our late townsman, Dr. Kay, has been appointed secretary to the committee ; and it would have been difficult to select a gentleman better calculated to fill the office with both zeal and discretion. SIGNS OF THE TIMES.—On Saturday and Monday night last, in Rochdale Market Place, fire-arms and dagger-canes were publicly offeretl for sale, at one of the mock auction stalls ; and the canes found a good sale at 6d. each. WHALE FISHERY (SOUTHERN).—This consists of three distinct branches; viz., Ist, the catch of the spermaceti whale ; 2nd. that of the common black whale of the southern seas ; and 3rd. that of the sea elephant, or southern walruss. The spermaceti whale (Physeter macrocepholus) is found in all tropical climates, and on the coasts of New Zealand and Japan. The ordinal) , duration of the voyage of a ship from England, employed in this department of the fishery is about three years. The common black whale of the southern seas (Physeter microps) is met with in various places, but principally on the coast of Brazil; in the bays of the west coast of Africa, and in some of the bays of New South Wales, Van Dieman's Land, &c. Sea elephants (interme diate between the walruss of the northern seas and the seal) are principally met with in the sets round the Islands of De solation, South Georgia, and South Shetland, the coast of California, &c. Vast numbers of these animals arc annually captured ; vessels frequently load entirely with them ; and they are believed to furnish more oil than the common South Sea whale. The oil of the black whale and that of the sea elephant, are both known in the market by the name of southern oil; and they are so very similar, that those most versed in the trade can with difficulty distinguish the one from the other. Hence ships commonly engage indifferently in either fishing as opportunity offers. The usual duration of the voyage of a ship from England in either of the last two departments, or in the two combined, varies from 12 to 18 months, MANNER OF TEA-DRINKING IN KOONDOZ.—Nothing is done in this country without tea, which is handed round at all times and hours, and gives a social character to conver sation, which is very agreeable. The Uzbeks drink their tea with salt instead of sugar, and sometimes mix it with fat ; it is then called " keimuk chah." After each person has had one or two large cups, a smaller one is handed round, made in the usual manner, without milk. The leaves of the not are then divided among the party, and chewed like to bacco.—Lieutenant Barne's Travels in Bokhara. CHEAP LlVlNG.—Pultava is one of the cheapest places in the world. Beef costs ten hopecks, or one penny, the pound ; while mutton is sold for eight hopecks, or three farthings, a pound ; and the second quality for six hopecks, or a fraction more than one halfpenny per pound. Until of late, beef was sold as low as two hopecks, or less than a farthing, per pound. Who would go to France to economize after this ? A bottle of the white wine of the Crimea may be had for ls. 3d. • and it is by far the best we ever drank for the money, Though sweeter, and of inferior body, it is not unlike the famous Leistein wine of Wiirsburgh. A pair of good draught oxen were to be bought for eight pounds, a good horse for twelve, and a tolerable one for three pounds.—Bremner's Russia. THE ADVANTAGES OF A COUNTRY EXCURSION.—A. short trip into the country, even for a single day, is exceed ingly beneficial, by diverting the mind from the ordinary ob jects of contemplation, and rertioving from it for a time that load of anxious cares, which, if suffered too long to remain, destroys its elasticity. For a few pounds a person may visit the lakes of Cumberland or Westmorland, the mountains and lochs of Scotland, or the picturesque scenes which abound in the Emerald Isle, and inhale strength and vigour from the ocean's breeze; he may store his mind with the re collection of ti e beauties of nature, and of the various pleasing occurrences that befel him while absent from home ; and in the midst of tl.e•crowded city, and of pressing occu pations, he may often relieve and amuse his harassed mind by the contemplation of these intellectual images. THE NEGRO FIDDLER.—A. negro man was going through the woods, with no companion but his fiddle, when he dis covered that a pack of wolves were on his track. They pur sued very cautiously ; but a few of them would sometimes dash up, and growl, as if impatient for their prey, and then fall back again. As he had several miles to go, he became much alarmed. He sometimes stopped, shouted, drove back his pursuers, and then proceeded. The animals became more and more audacious, and would probably have attacked him, had he not arrived at a deserted cabin, which stood by the way-side. Into this he rushed for shelter, and, without waiting to shut the door, climbed up and seated himself on the rafters. The wolves dashed in after him, and, becoming quite furious, howled and leaped, and endeavoured, with every expression of rage to get to him. The moon was now shining brightly ; and Cuff, being able to see his enemies, and satisfied of his own safety, begun to act on the offensive. Finding the cabin full of them, he crawled down to the top of the door, which he shut and fastened ; then removing some of the loose boards from the roof, scattered them with a tre mendous clatter upon such of his foes as remained outside, who soon scampered off, while those in the house began to crouch with fear. He had now a large number - of prisoners to stand guard over until morning, and, drawing forth his fiddle, he very good-naturedly played for them all night, very much, as he supposed, to their edification and amusement; for, like all genuine lovers of music, he imagined that it had the power to soften even the heart of a wolf. On the en suing day some of the neighbours assembled, and destroyed the captives with great rejoicings. —Hall's Notes on the Western States. A CHRISTENING IN COURLAND.—The music now com menced playing. Several of the clergy shortly after entered the room : these stationed themselves near the folding doors. In another minute they were thrown open, when a very sin gular sight presented itself to the assembly. A magnificent bed, with hangings of the most costly materials, was seen stationed with a sort of alcove, where, propped up by pillows, richly dressed, jewelled, and sitting on the bed, appeared a very handsome woman, about thirty years old. She was the mother of the child who was to be christened, only three days after its birth. . Several ladies were seen attending upon her, or waiting round the bed ; these were fine women, at tired in dresses of state, and forming-a beautiful and magni ficent group. No sooner had the doors opened than the clergy commenced chanting the service. The little hero of the day next made his appearance ; he was brought forward by the nurse, who was also dressed and robed. She bore him on her arms, lying on his back, and almost buried in his swaddling clothes of state. He was so rolled, and bound, and muffled, that nothing of a human being could be discern ed, excepting the face, peeping from under a large white satin cap. The outer garment or robe that covered the child was made of different colours : it put me in mind of the Dutch pictures of Joseph's coat of many colours ; for it was composed of many pieces of satin, embroidered with the finest work, and put together with much taste and fancy. The chanting and the sacred ceremonies lasted about three quarters of an hour, when the new-made Christian being withdrawn from public view by the retreat of the nurse, the company proceeded to pay their respects to the mother. The whole of the company having thus offered their congratula tions, the doors closed, and no more of the mother or child was on that day to be seen. The assembly next partook of refreshments, and afterwards amused themselves with strol ling in the large and costly gardens which were adjoining the house.—Mrs. Bray's Trials of the Heart. ATTENTION TO LITTLE THINGS.—OOI. Maceroni, among his " Seasonable Hints," in the Mechanics' Magazine for January, 1836, states that he has had only three pairs of boots for three years, and he thinks he shall not want any more for five years to come. And why ? Why, because he has studied out a preserving preparation, suitable to the leather, and applied it in a suitable manner. Now, is there no use in that, brother mechanic? A little matter, 1 know, it is. Life, and the comforts, and the expense of it, and the use of it too, are all made up of little matters. The ocean and the land are made of little matters—drops of water and particles of dust. I come every way, in a word, to one and the same conclusion. The mechanic, to conduct his business to advantage, or to live like a decent human being, to enjoy health and strength, to do justice to himself or family—to be, in a word, a comfortable, a respectable, or a useful person— must not be an ignorant or an inattentive man ; and the more he knows and studies of the right sort of knowledge, the better it will be. This he must do for himself. Other men may do something for him. They have done a great deal, as I have shown. But they have not done, they cannot do all ; no, nor the best part. A man's mind, like his eating and breathing, belongs to himself ; and I should be as sorry to have my thinking done by my neighbour, as to have him eat up all my bread and potatoes when 1 am as hungry as he is. I do not know why Colonel Maceroni, or anybody else, should have the better of me or my reader in that affair of the boots. I advise you to see to it, at any rate. And do you ask me what is the colonel's recipe ? I'll tell you what mine is. Go see for yourself, my good friend. You might have invented it as well as he ; but as you have not, do the best you can ; read it, remember it, and practise it. Do the same in other matters. Keep a bright look-out. Take care of yourself. Mind your business. See, hear, read, think ; and, my life on it, you'll come out as well as Colonel Maceroni. There is a great deal which passes for luck, which is not such. Ge nerally speaking, your " lucky fellows," when one searches closely into their history, turn out to be your fellows that know what they are doing, and how to do it in the right way. Their luck comes to them because they work for it ; it is luck well earned. They put themselves in the way of luck. They keep themselves wide awake. They make the, best .of what opportunities they possess, and always stand ready for more ; and when a mechanic does thus much, depend on it, it must he hard luck indeed if he do not get, at least, employers, cus tomers, and friends. " One needs only," says an American writer, " to turn to the lives of men of mechanical genius to see how, by taking advantage of little things and facts which no one had observed, or which every one had thought un worthy of regard, they have established new and important principles in the arts, and built up for themselves manufac tories for the practice of their newly discovered processes." And yet these are the men who are called the lucky fellows, and sometimes envied as such. Who can deny that their luck is well earned ? or that it is just as much in my power to " go ahead" (us the Yankees say) as it was theirs?—Hints to Me chanics. EFFECTS OF GEOLOGY ON MANUFACTURES AND MAN. —Perhaps there are few localities in which the advantages of geographical situation, combined with cheap fuel, arising from g eological position, arebetter exemplified than at Swan sea, w here not only the copper ores of Cornwall and Irela n d, but those also of Cuba and. Chili, are brought to be smelted; these advantages even rendering it profitable to transport ores from the western shores of South America round Cape • Tiorn tcr the fogsil " vegetation entombed in Sinith Wales. It is not improbable that at some future period the South Ame rican copper ores may be reduced to metal more profitably in other and nearer countries in which sufficient coal may be discovered ; but should this change take place, it would still be due to geological conditions. Merthyr Tydfil, in Glamor ganshire, may be cited as an excellent example of the econo mic value of geological conditions ; the proximity of the carboniferous limestone, the coal, and ironstone, to each other, in that part of the country, producing a cheap combi nation of flux, fuel, and ore, scarcely to be surpassed. It will readily be understood, that, where a considerable por tion of any given population, all other things being equal, lives by labour requiring constant skill, ingenuity, andjudg ment, that habits of reasoning and thought will be produced which would render it mentally superior to another given population in which the greater number of persons merely followed some routine occupation during their whole lives, in doing which they were not called upon to exercise any of the mental powers they might happen to possess. To those whose pursuits take them among the ,labouring part of the population, the variation in the mental condition of the people in the district under consideration is remarkably striking. This variation is no doubt clue to many local causes ; but among them the geological structure of the country would appear to hold a more important place than might, perhaps, at first sight be anticipated. The chief con trast would probably be found between the labourers on the poor lands of the carbonaceous series of North-western Devon and the miners of Cornwall, both considered in the mass. While the former are thinly distributed over the country, full of prejudices against improvement, and still often firm believers in witchcraft, ghosts, &c., the miners are thickly congregated together in the neighbourhood of the working lodes, abound with intelligence, and from the con stant exercise of their judgment, upon which indeed the living of a large proportion entirely depends, able to take correct and enlarged views of many other subjects than those immediately connected with their ordinary occupations. The miners, nevertheless, in Cornwall and Devon, labour under considerable disadvantages as regards education, when com pared with those of many other countries, where mining colleges, or schools,'are founded. There is not a single place in the whole district where they can learn the results of the mining experience of other countries, and, by combining it with their own, advance both their knowledge and its practi cal application. Neither is there any school to teach them those sciences that bear upon their labours, and which would be so useful to them. The necessity of studying the varying conditions of their lodes has, nevertheless, so accustomed their minds to the habit of reasoning, that they certainly, as a mass, greatly exceed in intelligence the other labouring popu lation of the district, which, with the exception of the fisher men and sailors, is chiefly agricultural ; the manufacturers carried on in the towns, omitting Tiverton and Chard, not being sufficiently important to impress a manufacturing cha racter on them."—De la Beche's Geological Report. NOISY DECLAIMERS. — There never was any party, fac tion, sect, or cabal whatsoeier, in which the most ignorant were not the most violent; for a bee is not a busier animal than a blockhead. However, such instruments are necessary to politicians : and perhaps it may be with states as with clocks, which must have some dead weights hanging at them to help and regulate the motion of the finer and more useful parts.—Pope. ARABIAN SYMPATHY.—" Weary and faint from the fa tigue of our journey," says Lieutenant Willstead, in his Travels in Arabia, " in order to enjoy the freshness of the evening breeze, I had spread my carpet beneath a tree. An Arab, passing by, pauzed to gaze upon me, and touched by my condition and the melancholy which was depicted in my countenance, he proffered the salutation of peace, pointed to the crystal stream, which, sparkling, held its course at my feet, and said, Look, friend, for running water maketh the heart glad.' With his hands folded over his breast, that mute but most graceful of Eastern salutations, he bowed and passed on. I was in a situation to estimate sympathy ; and so much of that feeling was exhibited in the manner of this son of the desert, that I have never since recurred to the in cident, trifling as it is, without emotion." FOREIGN MARRIAGE. A HINT TO TRAVELLING BEAUTIES.-L-By the laws of Russia, ladies of fortune are not allowed to marry foreigners ; at least if they do so, they must bring their captive knights to live in Russia. This is a practical lesson which we might take with much advantage from that country. The Englishwomen whom we see wed ding themselves to misery in France and Italy, would be more cautious in their choice were they compelled to bring Mon sieur le Comte, or Il Signor Marchese, home amongst their English friends. They now throw' themselves away on the principle that so long as they remain among strangers, there is none to reproach them with their folly ; and when the worst comes.'they know that heart-break and shame will be less galling where no friend of happier years is by to remind them of what they were and might still have been.—Brem ner's Russia. THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.—Take another story of this noble beast, which I know to be founded on fact :—A vessel was driven on the beach at Lydd, in Kent. The surf was rolling furiously, eight poor fellows were crying for help, but not a boat could be got off to their assistance. At length a gentleman came on the beach accompanied by his Newfound land dog. He directed the attention of the animal to the vessel, and put a short stick in his mouth. The intelligent and courageous fellow at once understood his meaning and sprang into the sea and fought his way through the waves. He could not however get close enough to the vessel to deliver that with which he was charged, but the crew joyfully made fast a rope to another piece of wood, and threw it towards him. He saw the whole business in an instant : he dropped his own piece, and immediately seized that w hich had been cast to him, and then, with a degree of strength and determination almost incredible, he dragged it through the surf and delivered it to his master. A line of communica tion was thus formed, and every man on board was rescued from a watery grave.—Youate s Humanity to Brutes. THE POPISH INQUISITION.—WIIen the Inquisition was thrown open in 1820, by order of the Cortes of Madrid, 21 prisoners were found in it, not one of whom knew the name of the city in which he was; some had been confined three years and some a longer period, and not one of them knew perfectly the nature of the crime of which he was accused. One of those prisoners was condemned, and was to have suf fered on the following day. His punishment was death by the pendulum. The victim is fastened in a groove upon a table ; suspended above him is a pendulum, the edge of which is sharp, and so constructed as to become longer at every movement. The wretched victim sees it swinging to and fro from above, till it begins to cut, and it cuts on till life is extinct. In the year 1820, by a Court Ecclesiastical, con stituted by papal authority, and directed by the priests of Rome, this dreadful engine of fiendish cruelty was employed to destroy human beings for presuming to think for them selves ; and yet, within sixteen years, we are gravely told that this is the most mild and tolerant of Christian commu nities, and we are deemed the most illiberal men because we hesitate ere we acquiesce. —Church Magazine. LEECH GATHERING.—One of the branches of industry prosecuted in the Ukraine is the gathering of leeches for the Hamburg dealers. When talking with a person connected with this trade,,we thought of Wordsworth's friend, of leech gathering fame ; but the people of the Ukraine perform their work in such a wholesale, unpoetic way, that Wordsworth would not soil his verses with them. Having exhausted all the lakes of Silesia, Bohemia, and other more frequented parts of Europe, the buyers are now rolling gradually and implacably eastward, carrying death and destruction among the leeches in their course—sweeping all before them—till now they have got as far as Pultava, the pools and swamps about which are yielding them great captures. Here a thou sand leeches are sold for four roubles (3s. 4d.) ; at Hamburg, before reaching which one half die, the same number is sold for 120 roubles (near £5) •,• and in England, the country apothecary pays £9, and £l2 10s., for the number which originally cost only 3s. 4d. But of every thousand which leave the Ukraine alive, at least seven hundred die before reaching England.—Bremner'a Russia. THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.—If we were to prophesy that in the year 1930 a population of fifty millions, better fed, clad, and lodged, than the English of our time, will cover these islands—the Sussex and Huntingdonshire will be wealthier than the wealthiest parts of the West-Riding of Yorkshire now are—that cultivation, rich as that of a flower garden, will be carried up to the very tops of Ben Nevis, and Helvellyn, that machines, constructed on principles yet un discovered, will be in every house—that there will be no high ways but railroads, no travelling but by steam—that our debt, vast as it seems to us, will appear to our great grandchildren a trifling encumbrance, which might be easily paid off in a year or two—many people would think us insane. Yet, if any person had told the Parliament which met in perplexity and terror after the crash in 1720, that in a century the wealth of England would surpass all their wildest dreams — that the annual revenue would equal the principal of that debt which they considered as an intolerated burden—that for one man of £lO,OOO then living there would be five men of £so,ooo—that London would be twice as large and twice as populous, and that nevertheless the mortality would have diminished to one-half of what it then was—that the Post office would bring more into the Exchequer than the excise and customs had brought in together under Charles II. — that stage-coaches would run from London to York in twenty four hours—that men would sail without wind, and would be beginning to ride without horses —our ancestors would have given as much credit to the prediction as to Gulliver's Travels.—. Edinburgh Review. THE DEGENERATE MAIL-COACH GUARD.—I was re turning from Manchester to London by the mail-train, when I suddenly fell into another train—a mixed train—of reflec tion, occasioned by the dejected and disconsolate demeanour of the post-office guard. We were stopping at some station where they take in water, when he dismounted slowly from the little box in which he sits in ghastly mockery of his old condition with pistol and blunderbuss beside him, ready to shoot the first highwayman (or railwayman) who shall at tempt to stop the horses, which now travel (when they tra vel at all) inside, and in a portable stable invented for the purpose,—he dismounted, I say, slowly and sadly, from his post, and looking mournfully about him as if in dismal re collection of the old road-side public-house,—the blazing fire,—the glass of foaming ale,—the buxom handmaid and admiring hangers-on of tap-room and stable, all honoured by his notice ; and retiring a little apart stood leaning against a signal-post, surveying the engine with a look of combined affliction and disgust which no words can describe. His scarlet coat and golden lace were tarnished with ignoble smoke; flakes of soot had fallen on his bright green shawl, —his pride in days of yore,—the steam condensed in the tunnel from which we had just emerged shone upon his hat like rain. His eye betokened that he was thinking of the coachman ; and as it wandered to his own seat and his own fast-fading garb, it was plain to see that he felt his office and himself had alike no business there, and were nought but an elaborate practical joke."—Boz in Bentley's Miscellany. RlVERS.—Rivers all over the world are rich in remem brances. To then' are attached all the poetry and romance of a nation. Popular superstition clings around them, and every mile of their course is celebrated for some incident — is the scene of a desperate adventure, a mournful legend, or an old song. What a swarm of pleasant thoughts rise upon the memory at the solemn mention of the Rhine !—what a host of recollections are re-called by the name of the Danube, the Rhone, the Garonne, the Meuse, the Seine, the Loire, the Tagus, and the Elbe and the Guadalquivir ! Even the low baned and unpicturesque Elbe and Scheldt are dear as household things to the neighbouring people. Their praises are sung in a hundred different idioms ; and the fair maidens who have dwelt upon their banks, and become celebrated for their beauty, their cruelty, -or their woe, have their names mingled with that of the river in the indissoluble bands of national song. To the man 'vho has a Catholic faith in poetry, every river in Scotland may be said to be holy water. Liddell, and Tweed, and Dee—Tiviot, and Tay, and Forth—and doleful Yarrow, sanctified by a hundred songs. Poetry and romance have thrown a charm around them, and tourists from every land are familiar with their history. Great writers have thought it a labour of love to collect into one focus all the scattered memoranda and fleet ing scraps of ballads relating to them, until those insignificant streams have become richer than any of our isle in recollec tions which shall never fade.—Bentley's Miscellany. SENTIMENTALS.—In the village of Vaucluie is a small inn, called the Hotel of Petrarch and Laura. Here senti mental tourists stop to regale themselves on the delicious trout which the river furnishes ; giving, between every morsel of the luscious fare, a sigh to the memory of the celebrated lovers, whose busts decorate the mantel-piece of the chamber where the refection is served. Those travellers who command the most luxurious repasts, are considered by inmates to possess the most sensibility ; and those who sub mit without resistance to extortion, are esteemed mirrors of sentimentality ; a regulation of which our worthy hostess made us aware, by the warmth of her praises of those who ex pended what she considers a proper sum, and the severity of her strictures against the more economical or less wealthy visitors. The English, she vowed, were the most sentimental people alive. It was delightful, she said, to see them sit for hours at table with their eyes turned towards the busts of Petrarch and Laura, and sighing, while they washed down their repast with bumpers to the memory of the lovers. They (the English) never squabled about the items in the bill. No ! they were too noble-minded for that ; they were wholly engrossed by tender recollections. Of the Germans, Rus sians, Italians, and even her qompatriots, the French, she spoke less kindly. " Wouldfou believe it, madam," con tinued she " many of them pass this inn—yes the inn— sacred to the memory of Petrarch and Laura, without ever crossing its threshold ; and the few who do, draw from their pockets biscuits, and demand only a glass of eau sucre'e." * * * * * Our hostess became so animated in her eulogim of the English, that she heeded not the reproving glances of her husband ; who, observing that two of our party were French, was fearful of her giving them offence. At last, somewhat piqued by her obstinate con tinuation of this apparently impolitic praise malyre his glances, he said—" You forget, ma there, when you talk of the English never passing any mauvaises plaisanteries on the respectable countenances of Monsieur Petrarch and Madame Laure, the two mauvais sublets, that, with burnt cork gave a pair of large black mustachions to Madame Laure, and, with a red chalk, made the nose of Monsieur Petrarch redder than a tomato ; ay, and gave him a pair of specta cles too. Why, it took me full twq hours to get them clean again !"—Lady Blessington.

There is no alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports this week ; very little of the recent imports of Wheat and Flour has been bonded ; the Wheat is not offered for sale—but almost the whole of the Flour recently bonded has found a ready sale for ex port, an.' some small parcels of fine Oats and boiling Peas in bond have also found sales for export, at our quotations; the result of next week's averages cannot with any confidence be anticipated ; in Wakefield the last weekly average of Wheat has increased 6s gd, while in this market it has decreased 6s lld per qr. and in Man chester in the two last weeks it has increased 19s 4d per qr. At this day's market, which was well attended, sales of every article in the trade were effected only to a very moderate extent, and although in sonic instances a small increase in prices was ob tained on the good middling qualities of Foreign Wheat, and on fine mealing Oats, we cannot notice any decided alteration in our quotations of this day week; at the close of our market this day, about 1000 brls western canal Flour were forced off by public auc tionn at 36s per brl duty free.
