I Grist returned, and returned in triumph, it - a / A*l,44' night. She looked as beautiful and sang as di eiously-ts ever. It has generally happened in London, that,44dieneea have required some novelty in the shape of 4i- 4 phineC donna after two or three seasons, but Grisi has now been with us more than twice that number, and still she delights as much, if not more, than on the first night she sang at our Opera House. She is " still the same, yet ever new." What Shakspeare says of Cleo patra, we may repeat of Grisi, " Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety." It is is just the same with her in Paris, for the in habitants of that capital still flock as numerously as ever to the Odeon, whenever she appears there. The opera on Saturday night was the Puritan/ ;in which, by the way, she sang only a little more than a week ago for her benefit in Paris) and it drew an immense audience, at the head of whom were two Queens--Queen Victoria and Queen Adelaide—th e former having come to town from Windsor expressly for the purpose of greeting Grisi on her return. Her Majesty did not scruple to evince her satisfaction most unequito cally, and the good breeding of the company present was such that she was placed completely at her case in her box, and did not attempt to conceal herself from view. Between the first and second acts of the opera the Queen Dowager visited the Qus3n Regnant i her box, and it was highly gratifying to persons of all parties to witness the good feeling and kindness subsisting be tween them, which was very obvious, without being os tentatiously displayed. Of Grisi's performance we really have nothing new to say ; she was welcomed most cordially, and seemed to feel it ; she almost outsang herself, and certainly out sang all rivalry. Admirable as Persiani may be, and is, there is, after all, no comparison between them. She has sang Son virgin vezzosa vien diletto, &c., a thousand times or more, but she always gives them with the freshness and force of novelty. She never seems to aing them habitually, but con amore. Of Coletti we must next speak, and we can only speak in terms of praise. He is a wonderful acquisition, and to say that he followed Tamburini, and followed him so as to leave few, very few, to wish for his prede cessor, is to say everything. He is not so practised in his art, and his articulation is not so distinct and clear, but his voice is even better, and in execution he is by no means deficient. The great trial was a great triumph : we mean the duet beginning // tuo rival and proceeding to Suone la tronzba. He preserved more equality with the wonderful organ of Lablache than even Tamburini was in the habit of doing. CJletti's success may be a useful lesson not only to Tamburini, but to all the Italian singers who stand out for extrava gant terms. The duet was, of course, encored. When first Coletti came on the stage, a faint effort was made to get up a cry for Tamburini, bat it totally failed, and at the end of the opera Grisi, Lablache, and Coletti were vociferously called for, and they came 'forward with a good grace. The ballet was Les Deux Pages, but it is only intended to fill up the vacancy until the arrival of the great new danseuse from Naples, who may be very shortly expected in this country. Les Deux Pages, therefore, requires no comment, end we will , make none. tif AIR- COCKING'S PARACHUTE and its Principl es explained, showing the Cause of his_ d4neholp Fate ; Garnarin's and other PARACHUTE S Rr. exhibited and explained, immediately after the Exhibitions of e • GREEN' S BALLOON, with the New MACHINERY , very day at Half-past Three o'Clock.

SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS. 4 The most powerful in the world, with which a man of 4 st °fle weight can raise an imperial barrel of water forty i thr ee feet hi g h in a minute. but with no other Pump yet tried o a minute and a-half. Their practical gain is most extraor narY, seldom below 70, and mote frequently above 100 per f „n ,t, taking the average of the results of every altitude from Pot t o lota feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of t 4' li nlg waterlg was effected in the simplest manner possible, i merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin i4e for Pump s , by which their friction and leakage was ad, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had bee n made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years. i nt °r a long time after this immortal invention was publicly r °duced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre n!ting that it wou ld p rove limited and frail, who are now i;., l „ vel lii , g about that their trade would be ruined, because whe ther Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable, used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are % it e conomical and invariable in their action, that they corn fq Perform for rnaltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with. the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re ns ackably simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car penters 34 c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully un dertake th e i r f i x i ng an d repara ti on . ne ith er are F oun t a i n Pu mps , retarded, c h o k e d, nor i n jur e d by occasionally delivering de ' e w tons of san d, a lth oug h a ver y littl e o f that material soon ra nges and seriously damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000 l et " ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from "II in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's earaels, and two then appea re d th e f our principles, namely, two limited, o twO unlimited principles—two of them sliding principles, "e a spiral principle, and ono a rolling principle. jei l t t . t. Th e Ch a i n-pump i n act i on i s di rec t an d s i m pl e ; b u t by on and leakage very defective and dreadfully uncertain, and from its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain- P ul p is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a u nited sliding principle. 2d. Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant Idea; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral Principle. 3 d. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt. This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder , P ,nmps, under every name and modification. All Pumps upon ' 4 41 plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed 'kilt thee be who expect the contrary, because mostly above t t wo-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their otetion and leakage, and when accurately tested against the new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines. N evertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the last 2,000 years—an unlimited skiing principle. 4 t 4 , and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing stock s of the other three Pumps, and exalted tl.e art of raising water to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor has th an the Pump made absolute, because without any dis ep.Operear°tyle defect or imperfection, ossesses very essential for the purpose intended in the highest e degree. AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE. !" do • birkbek. Presidnt of te Mecanics' Institution, Lon e,esays the e Fountain e Pump h is fres h from the liabilities and , j 7f , ts of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect Hydraulic Machine. Th e Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Es(l P.L. S., published a work in IMO, and therein m a k es a rash. false, f o ul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited, A nd although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages 41 some cases, it cannot be used for great elevations. Never theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as b elow one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known that flexibility was noproof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability. The rigid teeth of mamtr a and her four sisters were mostly tone, b u t th e ir flexible tongues remai ned in full activit y when ir dred yea ages, united with their only broth fiv er, exceeded e Fou hun rs. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in n- Pump s prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost tulestructablo. CASES SUFFICIENT. Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,0001., have net cost rper year fur all the connectors, though twenty-four of them, "u fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the Public roads from Wvmandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth. . s ik Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewe r y ( horse Saver), the connectors lasted five years, lift one hundred feet. p •D• It is th e packing that scrapes up the water in the old p ump that wears ou t. And it is the connector that rolls up t he , water in the New Pump that wears out. "'lark the next two cases, both Pumps having done the same 'Pork. A Single -acting Fountain Pump at Messrs.

CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINST TIME. Takes four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a lean of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet high, three barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons at water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument. The number of seconds required with one pump less than with the other, will be its gain in time and labour. The competitors should find the pumps and the public the tl'es, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew Much about raising water as sucking monkeys. „ it )Vell, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo t,i',lt'a (Ne ',market to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun (l,l.

W. particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or sea spray in exposed situations ; it will not blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as common paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves.. eels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no ether colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal allowance to the trade. BROOKMAN and LANGDON'S ORIGI NAL DRAWING PENCILS, SIXPENCE EACH. The Public are rsspectfnlly informed, that these superior Aricles, manufactured on the principles which have acquired for them such extensive patronage, particularly during the last TISTY YEARS, may be procured of all respectable stationers in London, and the country, at the above mentioned price. The division into different degrees of hardness adapted to the various purposes to which Pencils aro applied, and appropriately distinguished by letters marked at the end, viz.—H (hard),H II (engineering, very hatd), Ii H H (ditto, extremely hard), H B (hard and black), B (black for shade), B B (very black for ditto), F (fine drawing middling degree), an invention which proceeded, in the first instance, from their house, though now universally adopted, is still continued by them. B. and L. also make drawing Pencils, distributed (like their best Pencils) into seven degrees of hardness, these Pencils, which bear the words SECOND QUALITY impressed on each, are sold at half the price of the former ; they are confidently recommended as very superior articles, being entirely free from those silicious or rather adamantine partic7es, which, unfortunatelylfor reasons which carnot be explained in the compass of an advertisement, it is now impossible entirely to avoid in the others, though, from the expensive nature of their production, they are neces sarily charged at a higher rate. To avoid spurious imitations, by the frequent occurrence of which Brookman and Langdon, in common with all manfacturers of celebrated articles, have suffered considerably in reputation, purchasers are advised to make choice of the most respectable shops, and to be on their guard against articles offered as best drawing Pencils, at a re duced price. Pencils made to order, at any price. Manufactory, 28, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, London. N.B.—All communications by post to be pre-paid. TO those afflicted with GOUT, RHEUMA TISM, LUMBAGO, SCIATICA, TIC-DOLO- ItEUX, PAINS in the HEAD and FACE, often mistaken for the TOOTH-ACHE, &c. &c. There is no medicine to whose praise higher and more numerous testimonials hare been given, than to BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PlLLS,—from all parts of the Kingdom, and every rank in society, their great efficacy is acknowledged. The recent case of the Chevalier de le Garde, Chamberlain to Stanislaus, late King of Poland, is one of the most convincing proofs of their great and extra. ordinary virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev Doctor Blomberg, of Misperton-Hall, Yorkshire, Chaplain to his late Majesty, and Rector oftripplegate, London, who, with a spirit of the kindest humanity, voluntarily gave his testimony to their happy affects.

Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations faro the worse. 'We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ; since we see a kind of homicide may be thus committed, some times a martyrdom; and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends net in the slaving of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and Mai essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor tality rather than a life."—Areonagitica, Milton. To CORRESTONDENTS.—" The Bible.—We have been so earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper to the dis cussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question of the utmost importance to the interests of mankind, that we feel it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore, shall be attended to in turn, as we have reason to believe that the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention to the controversy."—The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. 5, 1118. " Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and incitement.

This verse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God created man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning : it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through.. out the Scripture, in all its purity, as at the beginning; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefor& ollbws, that if man were shapen in iniquity, and coticeivedi s n, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him.

The comedy has been revived under great a dvantages—excellent judgment in the cast of characters and good taste displayed in the cost umes . Charles Mathews, as Dashwo uld, the gay, joyous, mauvais sujet, laughing at everybody and everything, but with a hand and heart open as day, was inimitable. A stale joke or a bad story frequently amuse from the manner in which they are told. Many of Dashwould's jokes are common-Place in the extreme, especially the knotting the handkerchief. He describes his friend Sir George Squanderstock knotting his handkerchief to remind him of his duties in the House. " Corn question—(a knot).--Manilla ransom not paid, a motion — (knot)—national debt—(a very large knot)—Ere., &c. He then drives to the gaming table, puts it into his pocket, and the next morning his handkerchief goes to the wash a nd his countr y and the minority are both left in the suds." T he g entle unoffonding Miss Ne ville was beautifully portrayed by Miss Emmeline Montague, and Mrs. Org.r, as Mrs. Bromley, was as insolent and vulgar as a purse-proud parvenue. Vestris, as Lady Bell, sang and played her part with taste. Altogether the piece was very fa vourably received. The Sleeping Beastly concluded the enter tainments of the evening, which a very lull house had assem bled to witness.

THE FIREBRAND STEAMER.—This elegant Government steam-yacht is now laid up in Woolwich Dock yard, for the purpose of undergoing a thorough repair, and it is intended to remove her present engines and substitute others of greater power. (From the Examiner.) "'Twas thine own genius gave the fatal blow, And helped to plant the wound that laid thee low." We have never recorded the death of a public man with deeper regret than the untimely fate of Mr. Drum mond, the Under Secretary for Ireland. The public service could ill afford a loss like this ; but it will most poignantly be felt in that part of the empire with the Government of which he was connected, and over whose affairs he exercised an influence so powerful and so use ful. Ireland has lost in Mr. Drummond more than great ministerial talents zealously applied to maintain the credit and efficiency of a liberal administration ; she has lost an ardent friend, an enlightened benefactor, and an honest, able, dauntless advocate. As far as any tribute of popular feeling can assuage the pangs of private sorrow the relatives of Mt. Drummond have this mournful consolation. The last honours paid to his remains prove the price set upon his services ; not by a sect ; not by a party, but by a nation. It is sad to reflect that the first opportunity the Irish public had of manifesting their sense of Mr. Drummond's worth was the melancholy privnege of assisting at his funeral. Mr. Drummond was eminent as a man of science, particularly as a mathematician, before he distinguished himself in the sphere of politics. The ability he displayed in carrying on the great trigonometrical operations in the north of Ireland, which forms the basis of the Ordnance Survey, still in progress in that country, led to his employment in 1831 in the important calculations and arrangements of the boundaries of the boroughs proposed by the Re form Act, in the execution of which task he largely in creased his reputation, and attracting the attention of Lord Althorp, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, was nominated by him to the laborous office of his private secretary. The next step in his ascent was the place of Under-Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, to which he was appointed, to the satisfaction of all who knew his talents and character, shortly after the memo rable occasion of the Marquis Normanby's acceptance of the office of Viceroy. This was in the spring of 1835 ; so that Mr. Drummond had just completed the fifth year of his services in this harrassing post, when his career closed with such sad abruptness. Some of our readers may remember that we took the opportunity of the Whig restoration at the period to which we refer, to fix the at tention of the public upon the vast importance of the office of Under• Secretary fnr Ireland : we enumerated its duties and responsibilities, and pointed out all the powers, either for good or for evil, vested in its possessor ; our design being to impress upon the Government the vital consequence of nominating a man combining the requisite talents and acquire ments with the principles of a staunch Liberal and Re former. We witnessed the appointment of Mr. Drum mond with satisfaction, but it was not until we saw him embarked in his new duties, and thoroughly in volved in the difficulties of an Irish Administration, that we felt the full value of such an officer in such a post. _ _ _ Upon his conduct in that post, his claims to grateful memory will chiefly rest. He was only faulty in the neglect and sacrifice of himself. His devotion to busi ness, was only surpassed by his devotion to the coun try. No Irishman felt the wrongs of Ireland more acutely, threw himself into her quarrel with more gal lantry, or laboured with more assiduity to exalt her condition. Mr. Drummond had an ambition beyond the routine of his employment ; this led him to overtask assailed and allthe overthrew cares In I h n the and perplexities of the energies of a frame no t na t ura l l y o f th e s t ro ngest constitution, and he nce procee d e d t h at ex h aust i on w hi c h rendered him unable t o res i st t h e s h arp di sease t h a t so saddenly his (Mice, in a time of strugg l e and furious opposi tion unparalleled in the hi s t ory o f I r i s h part i es , midst of when the fhithful and efficient discharge of the ordi nary duties of his Secretaryship would alone have been merit of high order, Mr. Drummond, prompted both by scientific ardour and philanthropic spirit, en gaged in the justly-celebrated Railway Commission, which closed its useful labours by presenting the coun try with one of the most luminous, eloquent, and preg nant reports ever laid upon the tables of Parliament. A large share of the credit of that admirable document, as well of the preliminary calculations and researches, was, upon all hands, admitted to be the right of the Under-Secretary ; and whenever widened views and prejudices dispelled shall permit the development of the mighty resources of Ireland, by the instrumentality of railway communication, the execution of the work will be a just addition to Mr. Drummond's fame. A later, but not less arduous trial of his powers was the factious inquiry instituted by the House of Lords into the conduct of the Government which he so ably served, and in whose glories he is entitled to partake as liberally as he shared its anxieties and labours. The evidence of Mr. Drummond before the Lords' Committee not only showed the mass of accurate information he had acquired respecting the state of Ireland in all its branches, but it proved how thoroughly he understood the principles of Li beral Government applied to that country, and how enthusiastically—albeit not a native—he sym pathhized with her sufferings and panted for her weal. With the feelings of an unsophisticated, honest man, he took the simple and humane view of the painful question long at issue between the lords and occupants of the soil. If there were any in Ireland to whom he was odious and not beloved, it was to the " little tyrants" who mistake the meridian of Ireland for that of Russia or Barbary, and treat the human animal al ternately like a beast of burden or a beast of prey ; now exacting services the most slavish, now worrying and maddening him by caprice, by insult, by intolerance and flagrant wrong. Mr. Drummond warmly espoused the cause of the Irish cottier serf against seignorial cruelty and insolence. While on the one hand he assisted in executing the law with vigour unprecedented against crime, upon the other he evinced a humanity for the criminal, which led him to investigate the sources of lawless conduct—a search which fre quently compelled him to censure and reprobate the behaviour of that class which in Ireland alone, of all the countries of the quartered globe, is invariably found opposed to public peace, and (such is the mad ness of faction !) to its own immediate and clearest interests. We perceivs that it is the design of the people of Ireland to ortct a monument over Mr. Drummond's ashes, to commemorate his name and services. Let us suggest an appropriate inscription. It is that maxim, deserving to be written in golden characters,—that Del phic sentence for which the landlords of the Lorton pack will never pardon him— " Property has its duties as well es its rights." Beyond all question, no man, not of Irish blood or parentage, ever so well deserved a public monument in Ireland. Thanks arc eminently due to his afflicted widow and mourning relatives for their prompt compli ance with the public feeling, not only in permitting the interment to take place in a popular cemetery, but in yielding to the desire of making the commemoration of such a man a public work. Mr. Drummond adopted Ireland for his country, first, by all his acts and all his studies ; secondly, and most touchingly and affectingly, by the expression of his dying wishes— " I wish to be buried in Ireland—the country of my adoption—the country I have loved so well, and which I have served so faithfully, and for which I believe I have sacrificed my life." We have reason to think that we give these me morable words more faithfully than they have yet been given in the public journals : and accuracy is not unim portant in a matter connected with such high interests and noble feelings. Mr. Drummond has been cut off in the prime of life, just when " his greatness was a-ripening," just as the observation became rife that his office was below his talents, and that the time was come for employing them upon a more conspicuous and lofty stage. Had he been less ardent in the cause of justice, freedom, and humanity, his life had been protracted beyond his fortieth year. " Fame is the spu r th a t th e c l ear sp i r i t cloth raise (That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights and live laborious days; But the fair guerdon when we hope to find, And think to burst out into sudden blaze, Comes the blind Fury, with the abhorred shears, And slits the thin-spun life." The poet adds—. but not the praise r —and so it is with the eminent person whose loss we record and de plore ; his praise survives, and will survive him ; and, although not an Irishman, he has earned, and will re ceive, a place in the roll of Irish pstriots. WILTSHIRE LABOURERS. —During the debate on the Corn-laws, Mr. Benett, the Member for South Wilts, took occasion to speak of the comforts which the labourers in this county enjoy, when compared with the labourers in the manufacturing districts. We beg to direct the attention of the lion. Gentleman to the case of poor Burt, a labourer of Font hill Gifford, in this county, a prisoner in Fisherton gaol, because unable to pay one shilling and three-pence, the amount of poor's-rate. THE CHILD OF:MYSTERY.—A new novel is, we understand, on the point of making its appearance, en titled, " Ernestine; or, the Child of Mystery ;" the subject of which is one of those strange and exciting events which transform the romance of real life into a more attractive theme for the purposes of the novel writer than the utinoct ingenuity of fiction can invent. The singular incidents on which " Ernestine" is founded, are said to be intimately con nected with the domestic history of more than one noble fa mily, the characteristic features of whose leading members are shadowed fo rth in this tale. we are led to believe too, that a fashio nable p h y sician, and some too-well-k nown roues, and other eccentrics of the upper circles, figure conspicuously in these pages , w hich are understood to be from the pen o f an entirely new aspirant for literary fame. (From the Fenny Mechanic and Chemist.) Having, a leisure hour or two, and the weather, after a succession of wet and boisterous days, being very in viting, I said to my friend, when we had been conversing upon the almost universal topic of railways, " What say you to a trip on the Great Western ? The atmosphere is mild and clear, and I have no doubt we shall have a pleasant jaunt." " With all my heart," be replied, " but shall we re turn in time to meet the engagement we have made for eight this evening ?" " 0 dear, yes !" said I ; " the train which leaves Dray ton at seven, will give us a good half hour to spare." This point being settled, away we steered for the Spread Eagle, Gracechurch-street, as fast as my friend (who, by-the-bye, was not one of the smallest men in London), could manage. " Are we in time for the Great Western five o'clock train ?" said I, as we entered the office. " The buss is just gone, Sir," was the reply. " But a cab will save it, your Honour," added a little upstart fellow just by the entrance to the office, who, scarcely waiting a reply, had " signalled" one to the door. Into we got, and after ransacking our pockets for all the halfpence we could muster, in answer to " Please re member the porter—arnt nothing to day, master !" away we drove down Cornhill, and into Cheapside, where we soon had to encounter such a " mixture " (as the cabman term it) as would have puzzled any chemits in the world to have analysed, much more to have sepa rated. However, after a tremendous deal of buffeting and shout:ng for a good quarter of an hour, we found ourselves opposite the Post-office, and once more on a fair way to the station. But this we were not yet des tined to arrive at, for in turning the corner by Smith field-bars, down went the poor raw-boned crea lure, behind which we had been so unfortunate as to seat ourselves. The cab being one of the high, old-fashioned description, my poor friend stood but little chance of retaining his seat ; out he went, and I quickly followed, though, by the by, if his corpulence did not relieve the weight of his fall, it served as a very good cushion for me to alight upon. Once more on our feet, with no further injury than taking the polish off a new four-guinea black coat, and laming one of the hind legs of the poor creature that drew us, resuming our just in off we set again, and arrived at the station in time to be saluted with " You're too late, gentlemen ; the train is just gone." Determined not to be defeated, now we had gone so far, we resolved to wait, and be at any rate "in time" for the next train. This, however, we were well nigh disappointed in, for, feeling a little inward faintness, I proposed, and my worthy friend cordi a liy secon d e d, an adjournment to a neighbouring tavern, where, having called for a biscuit and cheese, and a couple of glasses of their "best ale," we sat very leisurely carousing, until the landlord (a regular John Bull sort of fellow), step ping in, said, " I beg your pardon, gentlemen, but thinking you might be going to travel by the rail, I thought as how I had better inform you that there clock is a quarter of an hour too slow." " Thank ye, thank ye!" we vociferated in a breath, as we hastily threw down a half-crown, and, without waiting fur the change," made for the station." We were the last in the carriages, the orders, "Stand clear—move on," being given the moment we had taken our seats, and in another second or two the snorting of our " leader" was heard, and away we went, under hill and over dale—though all upon a level—at more than giant speed. From the sequel, however, it will appear we were destined to vexation ; for what with stoppages at the " short stations," and an occasional " slackening of pace," to let our steamer cool himself a little, we did not arrive at our destination until the train we had in tended to return by had left. " 'What time will the next train start ?" said I, as soon as we had witnessed the procedure of that we had just left. "No more to-night, Sir ! The last train has just • gone !" Here was a start! It was now a quarter past seven, and our engagement was for eight ! " What's the nearest town, and how far is it to it ?" asked my friend, the fat man, at the same time castint , a hasty and rather mournful glance at his legs, as if in doubt whether they would support him the distance. " You're two miles and a half from Uxbridge," was the reply. " And have you no conveyance thither ?" added I. " The omnibus is just gone, Sir," said the policeman. Worse and worse I" thought I, as I took my friend by the arm, and, motioning him forward, said, " We must travel thither on foot.' With no small degree of reluctance he acceded to my proposal ; and, after a great effort on his part, and much vexation on mine, at half-past eight we found ourselves in Uxbridge. Seeing an ostler at the gateway of one of the inns there, I stepped up to him and inquired, " How long be fore the next stage passes through to Loudon ?" " No more to-night, sir!" The repetition of the same words seemed to my mind almost to denote a conspiracy against us, as, turn ing to my friend, with a mixture of irony and vexation, I inquired, " Will you walk it ?" But that I knew was out of the question. My next interrogation, therefore, was, " Is there anything to be hired ?" " Yes !" said the ostler, " we have post-chaises, or single-horse flys." The price being agreed upon, after partaking' of some refreshment, we found ourselves once more " homeward bound." But our mortification was not yet at an end. Soon after we started, the horse— such an one as fifty shillings would purchase any Friday in Smithfield—began to " give out," and such a disrelish did his poor bones exhibit for his driver's whip, that at every stripe (which, you may be sure, was not very unfrequent), he took such a " lee lurch," as the sailors say, to avoid it, as threathened to tumble chaise, passengers, coachman, and all, into a deep muddy ditch, which every now and then we passed by the way side ; had this happened, I should surely have got the worst of it, as my friend sat to " windward" of me ; and, in the event of a downfall, I, being a poor diminutive, fellow, should undoubtedly have been crushed. Arrived at length at Brentford, and having paid the flyman his fare, our next inquiry was for an omnibus. " No more to-night, sir ! The last is just gone !" Was again to us the familiar reply. " And is there no chance of a stage ?" " No more to-night, sir. " Flyman, ahoy !" " What now, your honour?" " You must take us on to town." " "fis more than I dare do ; and, besides, my old mare wouldn't go another mile further, not if you'ld give her a bushel of corn for doing on't." There was no alternative—walk we found we must. Not contemplating such demands, our purses had well nigh emptied themselves ; so that supper and a bed for the night, or another hired vehicle, was out of the question. We set out to walk, but I doubt whether we should have reached home before daylight, had not a post-chaise, returning from a wedding trip, come up with us ; the postillions belonging to which were so drunk, that they could scarcely retain their seats. Into it we got ; and, if I were alarmed before, I was ton times more so now, for such was the speed at which they were driving, that our " ship" roll;:d from side to side, as if the next moment she v►ould be thrown upon her " beam-ends." We were soon, however, in the city, and by the Bank, inquiring for an omnibus to take us to Highgate. " No more to-night, Sir ! The last has been gone these ten minutes," said a waterman, who at the same time recommended us to take a cab—the only one upon the stand. We took his advice, and having at last reached home in safety, and explained to our as tonished friends the reason of the non-fulfilment of our engagement, w? resolved to be mere guarded for the future in taking an " afternoon's trip by the railway."

FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, APRIL 23.—At the beginning of the sit ing to-day, M. de Foere opened the debate on the purchase of 4,000 shares in the Rhenish iron railway, and complained of the vagueness of the expression of the progamme of the new Cabinet. He adjured the Cabinet to devote its attention to the critical state of the commerce and manufactures of the country, and to endeavour to procure markets, of which both stand so much in need. The King has set out to-day for France, as well as the Doke of Saxe Cobourg and the Princess Victoria. His Majesty does not take the same road as they do. A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, says—" We are sorry to hear that his Majesty the Emperor, after en joying for these two years perfect health, had, the night before last, an attack (happily a slight one) of the ill ness to which he was formerly very subject. His Ma jesty's health is sufficiently recovered, to enable him to leave his bed to-day. BRUSSELS, APRIL 24.—The Court of Assizes of Brabant has, after a very tedious trial, delivered to-day a verdict of acquittal of all the individuals accused of having taken part in the disturbances at Ghent, with the exception of Serjacobs, who is condemned to three months)amprisonment and the costs. (From the HandeiSbitid.) AMSTERDAM, APRIL 22.—We are informed on good authority, that some respectable, well-disposed, and wenithy individuals of this city, have seriously discussed the propriety of addressing to the States-General a petition, that they will persevere in their efforts to ob tain publicity, order, and simplification in our financial system, as well as positive guarantees for the future, in this respect, as well as formal engagements to secure the legal conduct of persons in the service of the State. It has, however, been resolved net to present, at present, such a petition, nor to induce others to do so ; this resolution has been taken partly to satisfy those who desire to have recourse to petition only in case of extreme urgency, and partly from the general conviction that our representatives do not require any such spur to induce them to persevere in the course which they have entered upon. The cauntry, the Icng, and their own independence, were sufficient recommendations to our deputies ; entire confidence might be placed in such powerful motives. TIIE HAGUE, APRIL 2 1.—The Hereditary ?rine% and Princess of Orange, set out this evening far Stut gard, where they intend to stay two months. Her Royal Higness Princess Albert is expected here ou Sunday next ; she will probably make bat a short way. _ _ THE HAGUE, APRIL 2.3.—1 n the sitting of the Se cond Chamber to-day a number of petitions was pre sented. M. Luzac presented in the name of the au thor a treatise on the second part of the Penal Code ; its principles developed and connected with the general jurisprudence. M. Luzac highly commended this work (by M. Ide Bosch Kemper) which was ordered to be placed in the library of the Chamber. There being nothing in the Order of the Day the Chamber adjourned. THE HAGUE, APRIL 22..—The Government has al ready answered the objections of the Second Chamber to the financial measures of 1840. According to these answers the amount of the expenditure is now reduced to 51,727,215 f: there being deducted-1. The dota tion of the Syndicate of 2,500,000 f. ; and 2d the pro vision for the wants of the Syndicate 4,000,000 ; toge ther 64 millions. In the ways and means the loan of 6,700,600 f. is omitted, and 800,000 florins inserted as the overplus of the ways and means of 1838. His Majesty, as we arc assured, will in a few days issue an important resolution, by which a great number of Ge nerals, Lieutenant-Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant- Colonels, Majors, &c., including the Commandants of the Provinces and fortresses will be pensioned. ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 14.—An official account from Schlusselburg of the Bth of April announces that the ice was beginning to break up in Lake Ladoga and the Neva, and that in many places large spaces of open water are seen. In the City the Neva is crossed only on foot, the passage of horses over the ice being for bidden.— Journal de St. Petersburg, April 14. VIENNA, APRIL 15.—The Hungarian Diet has granted the budget for four millions, and thus decided on the last of the important Royal propositions. The Primate of Hungary having invited several Bishops whose sees are not too distant to go home for the celebration of Easter, 'the proceedings of the Diet will be interrupted, so that a prolongation of the Session seems indispensable. r;EL(4IAN HINDS—BaIi!MELO, Aram 24.
