Vic Voreo Corners THE CONTRAST. Lines written by the Rev. Charles Wolfe, while standing under Windsor Terrace. (FROM THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.) I saw him once on the terrace proud. Walking in health and gladness, Begirt with court, and in all the crowd Not a single look of sadness ; Bright was the Sun, and the leaves were green, Blithely the birds were singing, The symbal replied to the tambourine. And the bells were merrily ringing. I stood at the grave beside his bier. When not a word was spoken, But every eye was dim with a tear, And the silence by sobs was broken. The time since he walked in his glory thus, To the grave till I saw him carried, Was an age of the mightiest change to us, But to him a night unvaried. For his eyes were sealed and his mind was dark, And he sat in his age's lateness, Like a vision enthron'd as a solemn mark Of the frailty of human greatness. A daughter beloved, a queen, a son, And a son's sole child have perished, And it saddened each heart, save his alone, By whom they were fondest cherished. We have fought the fight from his lofty throne, The foe to our land we humbled, And it gladdened each heart, save his alone, For whom that foe was tumbled. His silver beard o'er a bosom spread, tinvaried by life's emotion, Like a yearly length'ning snowdrift shed, On the calm of a frozen ocean. Still o'er him oblivion's water lay, Tho' the tide of life kept flowing, When they spoke of the King, 'twas but to say. " The old man's strength was going. — At intervals thus the waves disgorge, By: weakness rent asunder, A pie . ce of the wreck of the Royal George. • For the people's pity and wonder. Ile is gone at length—he is laid in dust, Death's hand his slumber breaking, For the coffin'd sleep of the good and just Is a sure and blissful waking. His people's heart is his funeral urn, And should sculptured stone be denied him. There will his name be found when, iu turn, We lay our heads beside him. THE ROSE. Mast thou no fears, 0 thou exulting thing ! Thus looking forth on life ? Is there no spell In the strong wind to tame thee ? Thou ha' yet To learn harsh lessons from the changeful hours, And bow thy statel‘ head submissiirely Unto a heavy touch . , for here, bright shape ! Thy resting-place is not. LITERATURE. 'We take a few more extracts from Mrs. Carmichael's amusing and instructive work on the West Indies, which we noticed in a former number : " A West India kitchen is so different from an English one that some description of it may be necessary to make those who have not seen one comprehend how much 'less a cook is ex posed to the influence of the fire than in an English 'one. The floor is either earth, brick, or stone; there are numerous win dows, not glazed, but with wooden shutters to fasten down at night, with, probably, jalousies to exclude the sun and rain—in this way the air is necessarily freely admitted ; the chimney is extremely wide, and there is most frequently no grate, but merely a piece of brick-work, about four feet long, and three feet broad, upon which the wood is placed; and they make more or less fire, according to the dinner they have to cook. The face is in this way'not exposed to the blaze of the fire nearly so much as in an English kitchen. There is an oven in every kitchen, upon the same principle as a baker's oven ;—the wood being put in and burnt down, so that when it is fully heated, it is swept out before the bread or meat is put in. There is no roasting -jack : many gentlemen have attempted to get the ne groes to use a jack, but in vain ; they must have their own way ,of it, which is simply accomplished by placing . two strong logs of wood on each side the fire, and a strong nail in each log to support the spit, which they employ some of their assistants to turn,—and in this way they send up meat tolerably well roasted; but the oven is often also employed• for that purpose. Tbis is, I think, considered the whole duty of a cook, whether male or female." "I have paid great personal attention to the manner in which negroes are lodged, because it seems to be thought in England that they are in this respect quite neglected. After having-vi sited negro houses without number, 1 do not hesitate to say that negroes are more comfortably lodged than the working classes of either England or Scotland. You cannot fail to remark upon every estate, that the work people's houses-are placed in the healthiest situation, never so elevated as to be cold, nor so low as to be damp : the drains round them, or water paths, as the negro calls them, are watched with the greatest care, and kept clean, and nothing that could create damp is suffered to be near their houses. No inhabited house is ever allowed to be out of repair; neither is it left to the negro to ask for what may be necessary; the houses are examined very frequently by the white people, and during their master's time, they are employed in making all tight and comfortable before the rainy season commences. " I recollect walking one evening over a most lovely estate in Kingstown valley : it was in the midst of crop time, when all were as busy as possible. All the negro houses I passed were shut up, excepting one, whose open door attracted my attention. A nice clean-looking negro woman eyed me for a moment; I said, " Good evening," as is usual in passing a negro : but she looked again, and said, "Eh misses, you no know me." I was sorry I could not directly say that I did, for negroes cannot bear to be forgotten. She saw, however, that I did not recol lect her; and she said, "Misses, me L—, you no mind me when I corned to make cake." I now did recollect her, and ,she added, "Never mind misses, wont you come in and see my house ?" I did so, and she dusted two chairs, and two stools for my children, and bringing out a plateful of cassada cake, she gave each of them some, saying; she was sorry she had no ripe plaintain or banana down to gie 'em. I said, "So you don't work now.". "No misses, no for one month gone by." (She expected to be confined in a month.) "And how do you em ploy yourself?" " I makes mobee, and takes it down to town and sells it." " And what is your husband ?" "He just a field negro." " You have got supper boiling there I see." " Yes misses, the calialou pot." " You seem to have a very nice house." "Yes misses, I'll shew you the chamber;" and she accordingly opened a door which displayed their bed, with mos quito curtains, and their boxes of clothes. While leaving the house of this common field negro's wife, and glancing at the neatness and cleanness of the apartments, and the display of useful articles of furniture, as much, or more than the climate required, I could not avoid drawing a comparison between the situation of this woman, exempted from toil, provided with every necessary—with no anxiety as to the event at hand, no doctor, no nurse, no cordials to pay for,—and the condition of her who, among the labouring classes of England, must work often to the very hour of he confinement; and whose hard gained earnings, joined with that of her husband's, are all ab sorbed in the purchase of half the comforts which she requires. " A head servant is too much of a gentleman to wear thick or strong shoes. I recollect B—, a head servant of ours, who was sent to a store in quest of shoes for himself, and brought home a pair which cost 14s. 4d. sterling. I ventured to tell'him that I disapproved of his choice, as they were light thin dress shoes, which would not serve him many weeks;—but his an swer was given with great nonchalance in these words Misses, me could not dance in tick shoes; they too heavy and hot." In fact, this man would not have deigned to wear such shoes as I wore every day in walking out. This class of negro domestics are extravagant beyond bounds, and care not how many clothes they destroy." EXTEMPORANEOUS SONNETTA, WITH VARIATIONS.

His Eicellency Count Denison, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of Bavaria, has arrived in town, as successor to Baron de Cetto, to the British Court. Baron de Cetto and the Baroness (an English lady, united to the Count about two years ago,) are expected to leave for the Continent in the course of the present week. . CONTEMPORARY PRESS. COMBINATION—TRADES.UNIONS.—The respectable inhabitants of Limerick and its neighbourhood are more concerned than they may suppose in the efforts of trades men to prevent English artizans from being employed here. If the statement of Mr. Fogarty, which appears in our paper to-day, be correct—and we see no reason to doubt it—his workmen have acted in a manner not likely to benefit themselves as tradesmen or to advance the cha racter of their country. Had an intention been evinced to put these men out of employment or enforce them to accept lower wages by the introduction of strangers, they would have cause to complain, and a right—since the law leaves thern free to do so—to combine. But it is not pretended that Mr. Fogarty had any such design. He wanted the additional hands; and, as we view the case, even solicited and obtained permission to import them from Liverpool; when suddenly a new light broke upon our resident carpenters; their national pride took the alarm, and they would not work for a person who would employ—Englishmen. How injudicious—how ungrateful—how anti Irish is this. Surely the Carpenters of Limerick cannot recol lect how many thousands of their countrymen in every trade and occupation, are employed in almost all the ,o•reat towns of England, with whom the native artizans cheer fully associate, admitting them without a murmur, to share in their labour and the emolument arising from it. —Do they wish by their present conduct to drive the English operatives to retaliate upon those men ?—Whe ther such a contingency entered into their contemplation at all, or whether it would have influenced their decision, if it had, —vi e leave to their own feelings and conscience to answer. But we have reason to believe that the Eng lish tradesmen whom they have driven so inhospitably out of their society, left Limerick breathing a deep spirit of revenge against alllrishmen employed at Liver pool, Manch,?.ster, and throughout the west of England. As all those places are unfortunately afflicted with " Trades Unions" as well as Limerick, we can expect no thing less . than a general conspiracy to drive home all the Irish tradesmen and labourers, to add to the distress and internal troubles of their'unhappy country. We have seen with great regret the resolution of the " congregated trades," who pledge themselves to sup port the guild of carpenters in their indiscreet course; because we think it unwise. If those persons have really associated themselves to gether, with a sincere purpose to protect the fair trades men, they are strangely mistaken in their mode of doing so ; for by abetting and encouraging such proceedings, they not only bring disgrace upon the country, but ren der the men, whose conduct they extol, objects of ge neral fear and dislike. The consequence will be that no man, who can possibly avoid involving himself with them, will engage in work which might expose him to their dictation; for who that values his property, his peace, or even his personal safety, would risk all three by embarking in any undertaking subject to the arbi trary and shifting code of the Congregated Trades. EXECUTION. On Monday morning Henry Nicoll, late captain on the retired list of the 14th Regiment of Infantry, was exe cuted at Horsemonger-lane Gaol. He was tried and found guilty of an unnatural offence at' the late Surrey assizes, and in the course of the trial it was proved in evidence that he belonged to a gang of which Beauclerk, who, it may be recollected, committed suicide sorrie time since in the county gaol, formed one of the parties. — Nicoll meditated self-destruction himself, as will appear from what occurred after his condemnation. As soon as the trial was over, which took place on Friday, the 2d instant; and lasted.from nine o'clock in the morning un til eight at night, he was conveyed from the Court house at Croydon to- Horsemonger-lane, and on his arrival at the gaol he was questioned by Elmes, the head turnkey, as to whether he had any instrument in his possession ; in reply to this question Nicoll energetically declared that he had not. The turnkey, however, suspected this declaration, and insisted upon a strict search before he was placed in the condemied cell, and immediately com menced it. Nicoll, on finding the turnkey was deter mined, then began himself to turn his pockets inside out, in order to convince him of the truth of his asseveration ; but the turnkey, on a minute inspection, discovered, con cealed in the lining of the collar of his coat, a long nail, which was sharpened at the point like a lancet, and with which there was very little doubt he intended to destroy himself. How he became possessed of this instrument there are no means of ascertaining; at all events it was impossible that he could have sharpened it in the manner it wasfound, and the supposition is, that it was conveyed to him in some way or other by the other prisoners. Nicoll had entered the army - at a early period of life, and formerly belonged to the 72d, from which he exchanged into the 14th Foot, and with this regiment had seen a good deal of service abroad. He was very respectably connected, one of his brothers having served the office of high sheriff of Bedfordshire some years ago, and, had the former lived, he would have be come entitled to some property arising from the manor of Studham, in the above county. From the period of his conviction up to the morning of execution he con ducted himself with great propriety of conduct in the gaol, and paid the utmost attention to the devotional ex ercises performed by the chaplain, to whom he had ac knowledged the justness of his sentence on several occa sions since his trial. The night previous to execution he slept soundly for some hours, and on awaking and inqui ring the hour, appeared anxious for the arrival of the sheriff and the executioner. At nine o'clock precisely the unhappy man was led from his cell to the place of ex ecution, which is immediately over the entrance into the gaol, and, after a short time spent in prayer, the drop fell and he soon ceased to exist. A large concourse of people assembled to witness the execution, and amongst the spectators a number of females also presented them selves, and by their shouts manifested their abhorence of the criminal. The body having been suspended the usual time, was then taken down and delivered over to the surgeons of one of the Borough hospitals for dissec tion. EDUCATION OF THE BLIND. The Alphabet used-by the Blind in the Asylum at Glasgow is composed of seven different characteristic knots of twine, which take their place in the alphabet as aeimqu y—to these are attached small knots called auxiliaries, which, placed at cer tain distances from their principals, form a complete alphabet, viz.:—A is a knot formed by putting the twine three times through itself; B is the same,, with a simple small knot close to it; Cis the same, with the little knot about half an inch from its principal; and D is the same still, with the little knot about one inch from its principal, and so on through the rest of the characters. In this alphabet the greater part of the Gospel of Mark, and the 119th Psalm, and other passages of scripture and historical works, have been composed. The compositions are wound round an horizontally revolving frame, and pass from the reader as he proceeds. The Arithmetic Board is so contrived that the 10 numerals are represented by one characteristic pin, according as it is placed. It is simply a pentagon, with a notch at one end on an angle, on the other end on the side. Being placed in the board, with a corner notch to the left hand upper corner of the hole, it represents 1 ; proceeding to the right hand upper corner it is 3; the next corner in succession is 5; the next 7, and the last 9. In like manner the side notch, by being turned to the sides of the hole progressively, give 2 4 6 8 O. The Map of the World consists of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, represented on either side of a circular board.— The Land is made rough to the touch, and the Seas, Lakes, Rivers, &c., smooth. Towns are represented by small pins.— Mountains are ridged, and boundaries simply raised. Degrees of Latitude are marked round the edge of the circle, and of Longitude along the Equator, which is raised above the surface of the earth. At a recent visit to the Asylum for the Blind, in this city, we were much gratified by the great proficiency of the pupils; under the preceding mode of tuition, and especially in Arithmetic, the Board for communicating a knowledge of which was invented at the Institution. The details of the whole esta blishment are alike honourable to the directors, beneficial to the inmates, and mast encouraging as a model for similar asylums in other cities and towns.—Glasgow Courier. TRUE CHARACTER OF THE REFORMED HOUSE OF COMMONS. —There is not anywhere within the circle of the British isles such a herd of ignorant, vulgar, incapable men, as is to be found in the present House of Commons ! —Free Press, a Liberal Journal. WELSH FLANNELS.—The East India Company's order for 20,000 yards of flannels, after being one year sent to Lancashire, has again been sent to a draper in Shrewsbury; the quality of the Lancashire goods being found so inferior as to be nearly useless in India. At the flannel market in Newtown, on the 25th ult., the most scarce goods were those at from 6d. to 14d. per Yard ; middle good from 15d. to 21d.; fine and super, 22d. to 2s. Enquiries were made for extra-superfine at from 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. ; but there were not enough of goods in the market; and, as wool has much advanced, the manufactured goods must consequently advance.—Chester Courant. IMPORTANT To CLERGYMEN.—In a recent case which came before the Court of Session, regarding a clergyman's refusal to give a certificate to a party applying for the benefit of the poor's roll, the court cited him to give evidence on oath at the bar as to the applicant's condition. In that case, the Lord President said, that when a clergyman is asked for a certificate, he is merely required to state what is the true result of his knowledge or inquiry; but that much, he is bound to state, whether it amounts to an attestation of poverty or not. That in this coun try, by the humane provision of an ancient statute, followed by, long practice, there is a mode prescribed by which poor persons who have rights to establish, or wrongs to redress, may be enabled to establish these objects without cost in Courts of Jus tice.—But, as it would lead to, great oppression and abuse, if persons, who were not really in a state of poverty, were ad mitted to the poor's roll of the court, there have always been checks established for the purpose of repressing this, as far as possible; and one of the most important is, that of requiring a certificate from the minister and two elders of the parish where the applicant resides, setting forth his statement of particulars, conform to the schedule provided for such case, and adding how it consists with their knowledge. That this certificate is taken from them, as from witnesses who are supposed generally to have the best means of informing the court. That the court can know nothing of themselves • and, as it is a most valuable privilege to a litigant to be admitted to the poor s roll, the mi nister and elders have been required to give their testimony in the form of a certificate, so as to insure the privilege to one who leserves it, and debar it from (me who has no proper title. That this is also convenient to the ministers and elders themselves, as thereby the necessity of citing them as witnesses is superseded. That the court have power to cite them, as well as any other Berson, to give testimony in civil matters; but in place of doing so, Which would be productive of inconvenience , they merely re quire a certificate; but that, wherever a certificate is refused, the court feel themselves called on to enforce the poor party's right, by taking the evidence at their own bar, which the minis ter and elders have refused to give in lona of a certificate. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE DUCHESS, OF KENT AND THE PRINCESS VICTORIA. THE DUCHESS OF KENT'S VISIT TO TORQUAY.—Her Royal Highness arrived at six, on Thursday evening, Ist instant, in the Emerald Yacht, towed by the government steamer. On heaving in sight the Royal Standard was hoisted at the pier head, and salutes fired from the surrounding heights, as well as by the numerous yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron, assem bled in the road for the celebration of the Torbay Regatta. Sir Wm. Mulcaster, and Henry G. Cary, Esq., of Tor Abbey, proceeded immediately on board the Royal Yacht to ascertain when it would be her Royal Highness's pleasure to receive the address of the inhabitants of Torquay and, its vicinity ; when seven o'clock was named. Her Royal Highness landed, and proceeded to Poulton's Hotel. The deputation consisting of the following, was most graciously received by her Royal High ness:—The )tight Hon. T. P. Courtenay, Sir L. V. Palk, Bart, Major-General Sir George Adams, Rear-Admiral Sir C. Dashwood, Sir W. Mulcaster, Henry George Cary, Esq., one of the Lords of the Manor, Rear-Admiral Shields, &c. The following address was then read, and presented by Henry George Cary, Esq.:— " May it please your Royal Highness, " We, his Loyal Subjects, the inhabitants of Tor quay and its vicinity, request that your Royal Higness will ac cept fur yourself and your illustrious daughter a hearty welcome to this part of Devonshire. " On this day, the anniversary of the accession of the House of Brunswick, we see among us with peculiar pleasure her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, whose acquaintance with the history of her country has doubtless reminded her that this our Bay had the honour of receiving King William, when he landed in England, and laid the foundation of that happy settlement under which her Royal Highness has become the Heiress Pre sumptive to the Throne of these Realms. " This favoured day is also the anniversary of a splendid Naval Victory, and we hope that the recollection of Nelson and his companions at the Nile will induce your Royal Highnesses to prolong your stay here, so as to allow us to display before you our humble endeavours to preserve - among Englishmen a love of the Sea, and to emulate the excellence of the British Navy. " We pray'. GOD to bless your Royal Highness, and her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, with health and happiness." '1 o which her Royal Highness was pleased to return the fol lowing most gracious answer : " Gentlemen,—l cannot express to you how gratified the Princess and myself are with the cordial reception which the loyalty of the inhabitants of Torquay to the King has led them to give us, as members of his Majesty's " On this particular day . I feel myself called on to observe that the Princess, communicating as she does with all classes of society, is deeply conscious of the sacred importance of the trust which may be eventually committed to her charge, and fully impressed with the conviction that to be the constitutional Sovereign of a free people is the most exalted object of human ambition. " I regret that our stay at this charming spot will not allow us to participate in the national recreation you allude to, but it has' ever been my pride to lead the Princess to regard with warm feelings all the recollections that belong to this day, in relation to the naval service of the country." The deputation then retired. Their Royal Highnesses left Torquay the following morning ror Plymouth, embarking under a salute from the cannon on :he Beacon and Warren hills, and the yachts in the bay. DR. DIXON, THE AFRICAN TRAVELLER. Extract of a letter dated Cape Coast Castle, 28th April, 1833: " I fear I have been guilty of great neglect in not sooner com municating to you the result of my inquiries respecting the fate of Dr. Dixon. , These particulars I shall, however, now briefly recapitulate to you, that you may be able to answer any in quiries on the subject: on their correctness I believe you may perfectly rely. " His Majesty's ship Brazen, having Captain Clapperton and the expedition on board, on her voyage down the coast to Badagry (from whence it was intended the expedition should start,) touched at Whydah, a small town on the Dahomey coast. Here the gentlemen of the expedition landed, and were hospi tably entertained by a Senhor de Souza, the most notorious and extensive slave dealer on the coast of Africa. While here, Dr. Dixon expressed a strong desire to penetrate into the interior through Dahomey, so as to rejoin Captain Clapperton and his companions at Katunga, or, as it is called on the coast. Eyeo. M. de Souza readily offered his services, and actually accom panied the Doctor to the court of Dahomey, at an immense expense to himself, being obliged, when visiting the King, to make him very large and valuable presents. Dr. D. was well received by the King, who swore not only to protect him while passing through his own dominions, but to use his power and influence to procure for 1 i n similar favour and protection from those chiefs through whose dominions he must needs pass. The Doctor, accordingly, left Dahomey, well escorted, and the king, or chief, into whose country he was about to enter having also sworn to afford him every protection and assistance, he had every . prospect of being able to reach Katunga long before Captain Clapperton. "There it was, however, that his ignorance of the customs of the country, and impatience or irritability of temper, cost him his life. When approaching the principal town, the King, attended by his sons and chiefs, came out, as is customary, to meet him ; and the King desired his eldest son to swear fidelity to the stranger, after the fashion of the country. You will, per haps, recollect that this is done in this part of Africa by the party drawing a sword, or kind of sabre, (more like a bill-hook than anything else,) and making a long harangue, using all the gestures, while the most violent and angry-like and pushing the point of the sword almost down the throat of the party in whose favour the oath is taken ; in fact, they show their dexterity by' cutting close to the face without actually touching it. Doctor Dixon unfortunately misunderstood the meaning and nature of the whole ceremony, and conceiving, from the gestures and appearance of the King's son, that he meant to kill him, drew his sword and plunged it into his body. Instantly all was up roar, and the Doctor would, of course, have been sacrificed on the spot, had not the King interfered, and ordered him to be guarded into the town, declaring that he could not break his oath, even although his own son had been stabbed ; it was, be sides, against the fetish' of that country to shed blood in the King's presence. Dr. D. was ordered to leave the country the next morning, and, with an escort from the King, proceeded on his journey accordingly. The instant, however, that he had passed the boundaries of the King's dominions, (when, accord ing to their ideas, the King's oath was no longer binding,) his escort fell upon him and murdered him. This, I have reason to know, is a true and correct account of Dr. Dixon's lamenta ble fate." Doctor Lawrence was promoted to the Archbishopric of Cashel in the year 1822, since which period he has promoted twenty-one Clergymen, whom he found in his diocese at the time of entering upon its superintendence, totally unconnected with his Grace, and unknown to him previously to his taking charge of the See. POOR RATES.—A return has just been published of the amount of poor rates levied in England and Wales in the year ending 25th of March, 1832, from which it appears that the total raised in England was £8,255,315 125., and in Wales £367,60412s. — During the same period 51,705 paupers were employed by the overseers in repairing the roads within England, at an ex pense to the parishes of £261, :65 Bs. ; and 1,131 in Wales, at a cost of £3,354 17s. DUNBAR HERRING FISHIN G, Arc. 9,—The boats were in general well fished this mor n ing; and several additional boats having arrived, it is fully expected that there will be a good drave next week. Hitherto the supply has been mostly bought up by the cadgers, but the additional boats will now enable the curers to begin. . _ _ We are sorry to learn that the cod and, ling' fishings in the West Highlands have entirely failed this season. This will be severely felt by the productive classes throughout the country, who look for a part of their living from this source, as the price of these fish has risen greatly this year. The Newfoundland cod fishing has been pretty successful, and the fish of an ex cellent quality, which will in a great measure supply the want caused by the defalcation in the Highland fishing.—Edin- Advertiser. FRAUD OUTIVITTED.—On Wednesday week, Lewis Thomas and Evan Evans set off from Merthyr to take thea. passage for America, Thomas leaving a wife and six children, and Evans a wife and eight children behind them. These honesLmen, in all probability, expected that the parish of Merthyr, rather than be encumbered with the permanent burden of maintaining their families, would defray the expense of their conveyance also to America. It turned out, however, that application was made on the following day to J. B. Bruce and William Thomas, Esquires, to grant a warrant for their appiehension. On Friday the warrant was put in force by George Thomas, constable, ap prehending them at Newport, with eleven pounds in their pos session. Out of these eleven pounds the constable defrayed the expenses of their conveyance on Saturday to Merthyr, where they were brought before W. Thomas, Esq., Magistrate, andby him committed for three months to the house of correction at Swansea, to which place they were conveyed (there to expe rience the instruction of the tread-mill,) at their own proper costs and. charges.—Merthyr Guardian. MANNER OF. NAMING COUNTRIES.—The origin of the word Canada is curious enough. The Spaniards visited that country previous to the French, and made particular searches for gold and silver, and, finding none, they often said among themselves, " Aca nada," (there is nothing here.) The Indians, who watched closely, learned this sentence and its meaning. After the de parture of the Spaniards the French arrived, and the Indians, who wanted none of their company, and supposed they also were Spaniards, come on the same errand, were anxious to inform them that their labour was lost by tarrying in that country, and incessantly repeated to them the Spanish sentence, " aca nada." The French, who' knew as little of Spanish as the Indians, sup posed this incessantly-recurring sound was the name of the country, “nd gave it the name of Canada, which it has borne ever since. THE NEW STAGE COACH ACT.—The bill for the amendment of the act of the 2d and ad George IV., which was read a third time in the House of Commons on Thursday week, and passed, repeals so much of the same as relates to the number or distri bution of outside passengers, or as requires a separate division for luggage on the roof of a stage carriage, and enacts that car riages from wheel to wheel must be 4 feet 6 inches wide, carry ing nine passengers, not more than five to be outside ; if allowed to carry twelve, not more than eight outside ; if allowed to carry fifteen, not more than eleven outside; if allowed to carry eighteen, not more than twelve outside; if more than eighteen, not to take more than two additional outside passengers for every three ad• ditional allowed for the whole. Penalty for carrying a greater number than licensed to carry, £5.

ATTACHMENT OF ,A MAGPIE.—About three leagues from Nantes is a very pretty village called Thouare. In this village flourished, a few vears ago, a magpie, whose memory deserves to be cherished. - Her master was a justice of peace, and Mag lived on excellent terms both with him and his maid-servant.— The justice, who was a great epicure, had a brood of ducks, which were daily taken to the fields for food and exercise. The servant always conducted them, and Mag accompanied her. The maid remarked that, at the hour fixed - for their walk, the magpie regularly placed herself in readiness at the hen-house door. One day, just as she had let them out, she was suddenly called away, when, to her great surprise, she saw the cavalcade on its way' to the field, under the sole guidance of Mag, who, with her beak, was urging on those who lagged behind to mend their vice. Next dap the servant purposely let her go alone, when, she again took ihe command of the flock, and from that time the whole charge was left to her, of conducting them, and bringing them in at night. But the justice did not keep ducks for the mere pleasure of looking at them ; his views were towards the . spit ; and, as they had now attained proper fatness, Queen Meg saw the number of her subjects gradually diminish. She bore up with firmness against these trials, and when only a solitary duck remained, she led it to and from the field with her usual punctuality. At length the cruel order *as issued; the last duck was to follow its companions, and appear at the justice's table. The maid caught the poor victim, and was about to exe cute her master's commands, when Mag, giving way to her fury, flew upon her, tore her face with her talons and beak, till she left her streaming with blood, then took her flight, and never returned.

LIVERPOOL -COLONIAL MARKET. AUGUST 15. Since this day week a great improvement has taken place in the Plantation Sugar Market ; both prices and demand which were gradually advancing have been rapidly increased, in consequence of the greater part of the stock` in Dublin having been destroyed in the late fire, which has caused the Irish dealers to buy spiritedly fur immediate consumption, at an advance of fully 3s. per civt., the sales, though large, would have been considoiably more, but few holders arc disposed to sell even at this advance:- Foreign, though advancing, is not quit A.. so much in demand. Molasses continue improving, 325. per cwt. is now currently asked. Coffee is not so briSk, but in prices there is not any alteration. — Foreign Coffee is in better demand, Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper and. Pi mento, are all steadily improving, and holders generally decline selling. Rum is wanted particularly, the low proofs and the fine qualities, which, owing to there scarcity are commanding higher prices. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AtGlisT 15. On Tuesday and yesterday, we had an extensive demaria, and front 10 to 12,000bagsvcre sold, at the full prices of last week, to id. Pe r lb advance.
