Vottrp. LORD JOHN (DESPONDING) COMPLAINS TO LORD M. Dear Melbourne, of course I can't tell (And I really don't want to be fishing) What the rest of the colleagues may feel In our present most awkward position. But I own that it wants very little Of totally turning my brain, Set up, as I am, like a skittle, For the sport of being knock'd down again ! Your O'Connells, your Sheils, and your Tennysons,* And such like expeetants may shower On our mistress their pauper-like benisons, For placing us once more in power. To old Harry I'd freely devote it, And the whole of the beggarly crew with it, Unless, my lord, now that we've got it, They can tell what the deuce we're to do with it ! There's that cursed Jamaica concern— I must weather another sad bout of it ; Oh ! how or which way can I turn, For I'm in it, and cannot get out of it ! I am like Pat Macturgough's old cow When she got in the bog, and slack! What can a poor liounderer do Who can neither get on nor back ? Once I look'd for a lift to friend Joe ; I could scarcely have been compos menus-- Were his aid even offer'd me now, Odi. Graces et dons ferentes ! 'Twere like offering the loan of a gun, With a hope that you wouldn't refuse it; When 'twas sure, after all's said and done, To burst the first time you should use it ! And then there's our plot for bewhigging The young, by " illuming the conscience," Awl sending our Normals a jigging To teach them religion is nonsense ! To me 'tis as clear as the light I can never go onward with that, Tho' I swear we msan nothing but right, Till my face is as black as my hat ! And yet I am forced to proceed, To contend its no auv.ter if babby Is imbued with its prayers and its creed, B 1 a christian divine or a rabbi! For this very ingenious bubble I doubt I shall pay pretty dear, And be sent right about for my trouble, As they say, with a flea in my ear ! From this, and full many a scrape, I imagined, a fortnight ago, We had made quite a handsome escape ; '''.'e would not have it be so ! qr guilt had not gone very far — We had only on one point offended— But now we're called back to the bar, To be sentenced for all we intended ! * It was understood that in the course of the Lichfield House compact O'Connell insisted on Mr. Tennyson for _)eaker, and' only withdrew him upon a pledge of the revers i on Gf the chair for him when Mr. Abercromby retired. If so, poor Mr. Tennyson has not been very well used. LITERARY NOTICES. The Doctrine of the Trinity proved as a Consequence from the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. A Lecture, delivered in Christ Church, Hunter-street, Liver pool, by the Rev. David James, Minister of St. Mary's, Kirkdale. Liverpool: Perris. This is the seventh of the series of lectures, preached at Christ Church in this town, on the " Unitarian Controversy." The proper deity of our Saviour having been proved, in two preceding lectures, the author proceeds to show that the admission of this doctrine necessarily proves the doctrine of the Trinity. In deducing this corollary the following subjects are touched upon :—The moral character and unity of God not discoverable from the works of creation— Revelation necessarily the only full and satisfactory source of information respecting the Divine Being— God in his nature a spirit—One Jehovah, and three distinct Agents, possessing divine perfections, pre sented to our notice throughout the Bible. These topics are all handled with great ability. A cumulative mass of evidence is adduced in proof of the truth of the several propositions laid down. We can most cor dially recommend this lecture to the notice of our readers, as an effectual remedy a g ain s t th e insidious poison of Socinianism. The preface is particularly valuable. The Atonement indispensable to the Necessities of guilty Man ; and shown to stand or fall with the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. A Lecture delivered in Christ Church, &c. By the Rev. R. P. Buddicom, M. A., F.A.S., Incumbent of St. George's, Everton. Liver pool: Perris. This forms the eighth in the same series of lectures. In discussing the momentous subject of the Atone ment the author has displayed great judgment and a profound acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures. He shows that all men have sinned, and come short of the glory of God—that man, thus pronounced a sinner, must be regarded in the light of a public offender— that thus regarded as a public offender, man is utterly unable to make any worthy satisfaction or restitution to God, for his crimes against the Majesty of heaven and earth—and then he proceeds to state the scriptural me thod of our recovery and salvation. He proves that man is justified, as to himself, by the mercy of God— that the sinner's justification is not immediate, as the mere remission of a debt; but depends upon a satis faction trade to God, by the vicarious propitiation of Jesus Christ—and he then shows that substitution in the offender's stead, oblation to God, and expiation of sin, in virtue of that substitution and oblation, are needful in an expiatory sacrifice. He concludes by showing that the doctrine of man's salvation, by vica rious atonement, must stand or fall with the proper Deity and Humanity of Jesus Christ. This sermon is not ( , aly sound in its scriptural statements, but power ful and eloquent in its language, and ca'culated to have a practical effect upon the conduct of professing Chris tians. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE GRANT FOR NATIONAL EDUCATION. (From the Morning Herald.) The mean and pettifogging device of Lord John Russell to introduce the Ire.l system of education into England, in the form of a money grant, without any previous inquiry into it general nature and tendencies, without the advice, concurrence, or co-operation of the heads of the English Church—without affording time for the demonstration of public opinion —the hop, skip, and jump" style in which the whole nation were to he tricked into the sanction of popish versions of the Scriptures, lured to endanger its existing schools for the poo;e and offer a national insult on the bishops and the clergy of the Established Church—all this, we say, is so much akin to jesuitical fraud, and so utterly fo ter'en to the inanly, plain, and straightforward spirit of legislator, that we may at once denounce it as the first gift and offering to the people of England of that junta of papists, infidels, and radicals, which forms the Irish education hoard, and which now seeks to extend its domination over our Protestant shores. The roguish plea of political expediency, however fe'se and hollow, had some show and semblance of force it was confined to a country in which the great majority we - ce papists. The "res Ara et regninovitas" might furnish some shadow of apology whilst such schemes related solely to the " emerald isle." But it required the daring ambition of a priesthood, which claims the whole of Christendom as their own, to cross the channel with their missals and versions, " and with all their trumpery," and to demand that the standard of popery should again be publicly erected in this king dom, by: act of parliament, and by a vote of the Eng lish legislature. Such we affirm, and deliberately af firm, is the real and virtual scope of that grant for na tional education, which Lord John Russell intends to propose amongst " the supplies" on the 31st instant. It is no other than proposing to do that by an act of the government for which James lost his throne—to set up popish seminaries under government patronage, and to confer on them the royal privilege and distinc tion of reading their own versions. The words are clear and absolute—" Roman Catholics, if their pa rents or guardians require it, to mad their own version of the Scriptures, either at the time fixed for reading the Scriptures, or at the hours of special instruction." The entire history and mystery of this new scheme of national education bespeaks its popish origin and li neage. It was brought forward originally in the form of an " addreSs to her Majesty," by Mr. Wyse, the popish member for Waterford, the chairman of the " Central Society -of Education," with Irish poor law commissioners resident in England. When the go vernment adopted this scheme of Mr. Wyse, they pre tended they had her Majesty's commands to form an education hoard; and accordingly they enrolled them selves into an education committee. It was thus that the Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord John Russell af fected to write letters to each other on this subject, and this fictitious correspondence was gravely laid before the House of Commons. They sketched out various plans for infant and normal schools, but not a word was yet hinted about " popish versions." Enough was let out, however, to awaken suspicion of their designs, and accordingly Lord Stanley moved for the minute of privy council. "An extract" of this minute was pro duced, and then this popish proviso came to light ! Lord John was then urged to say when he intended to bring forward his motion. He answered, somewhat ambiguously, "in about five or six weeks !" Lord Stanley replied that he should not feel himself pre cluded from bringing the subject, in the interval, dis tinctly before the house. Then came " the walk out and the turn in again." The Whitsun holydays ar rived, and Lord John suddenly gives notice, at the moment before the adjournment, that he will propose a vote of £30,000 for this very object, in the votes for " supplies," on the 31st of May, and only three days after the meeting of the house ! Now, let any man of plain common sense put these circumstances together, and they might have been much heightened in their effect by a little research and by many additional coincidences; let such a man calmly consider these facts, and say whether they do not bear upon their front the marks of that jesuitical fraud and deceit which have ever distinguished the policy of the Church bt - Rome. We say, "if any man wishes to he deceived, let him be deceived;" but let him not complain hereafter that this plot and con spiracy to introduce popery into England was not c l ea rly laid before him. It shall not be our fault if the people of England do not risB up as one man, in all the early vigour of Protestantism, to protest against this insane attempt to revoke our Protestant constitu tion, and to stultify that revolution which placed the House of Hanover on the throne. And what is the pretence for introducing this new scheme of education amongst us ? Are there not, at the present moment, about a million of children in the schools of the " National Society ?" Are there not about 500,000 in the schools of the " British and Fo reign ?" And may not we add to these, at least 200,000 in the schools of the Wesleyans, and in other private modes of instruction ? Why, then, is all this clamour and outcry raised about the want of national educa tion ? It is raised solely to . gratify a political party—a party composed of Irish papists and English radicals— who hate and envy the rapid growth and prosperity of the schools of the church. It is raised at the urgent request, or rather the command of Messrs. Wyse and O'Connell, to introduce, as far as is practicable, the Irish plan of education into this country, in the hope of eventually bringing us under the dominion of the Romish church. AN ADVENTURE OF CHARLES THE SECOND , (From the Court Gazette.) There is not in the British isles a fairer valley than the Vale of Dolgelley, nor one that combines sweetness and magnificence in such perfect and varied beauty. Its green banks slope verdantly to the river -side, fringed with trees and watered by sparkling strearnlets ; higher up, Cader-Idris and a chain of lesser mountains point their grey summits, bold and bare, to the sky; Snowdon peeps through many a vista ; and half-way down the valley there is a beautiful meeting of the waters of two clear rivers that, uniting into a lake-like stream, glide smoothly onward to the Irish sea. Thick woods, noble country seats, and smiling cottages, sheltered and shadowed by many a sunny hill, blend their beauty with the dark rock, the scathed pine, and the healthy mountain-side ; while the ever-changing light and shadow, the varied colours and the light haze resti ng on the pa r k, or floating dreamily in the very centre of the valley, present a picture which few who have gazed upon will forget, or scruple to affirm with us, that among the hundred valleys of our happy isles there is not a nobler or a fairer one than the Vale of Dolgelley. And when the royal eye of her who rules them glances over our pages, she will not fail to remember the sweet summer evenings when, straying by the romantic shores of Beaumaris, she has seen the dusky cloud-like peak of Snowdon, as it rose far in the distance, over the quiet waters of the bay. And long on those shores will she be remembered : the village maiden that dropped a curtsy, and the grey-haired man that made his humble reverence to the lovely girl, the future Queen of England, and whose simple hearts were gladdened by her smile, often point out the spots she visited, the mossy stone she has sat upon, and the sce nery with which she was pleased and familiar, when, far from the splendour of courts, she dwelt among the quiet glades of their mountain land. Such, indeed, is the Vale of Dolgelley when the sun is shining on its waters, and brightening the verdure of its banks ; but when the storm sweeps from the hills, and to L the darkness of night is added the gloomy shadow of the , mountain—when every stream becomes a torrent, and min gles its roar with the long howls of the blast—when the va poury clouds hang in blackness, and shroud not only the stars, but the twinkling cottage-light, there are few places which create such feelings of dreariness and desolation. It was even in such a night that a single horseman urged his strong black steed along the rough pathway that formed the mountain pass—now clattering upon the smooth-worn , rock—now snorting and plunging up to the saddle-girth in the splashing stream—and again aided and urged by hand and spur, toiling up the rugged bank, and then bounding forward with unabated vigour over the broken heath, in the direction of the more level country that stretches to the plains of Shropshire. " What, ho ! sir stranger !" cried a deep-toned voice, as the stout steed, extricating himself by a violent effort from a swamp, was again moving forward. " What, ho ! sir stranger, whither so fast ?" repeated the voice, as three men well mounted issued from the shadow of some scattered trees, and joined the traveller, who at the second challenge reined up his steed, and laid his hand upon his holsters. " Who be ye that inquire ?" he demanded ; " I have small time or pleasure to answer greetings that bode me hindrance." The party who addressed him gave a loud laugh. "By Becket 's bones, fair sir, ye speak as though it were a matter of thine own choice to answer us or no." " Ay, marry, and so it is. Nay, friend, handle not my bridle," said the horseman, drawing a pistol from his saddle. " Hold, hold !" cried the other speaker • " an' ye be wise, trifle not with such trinkets as these. Put up thy pistol, and thou shalt know thy company." " Nay, by heaven ! it were more fitting that I knew my company ere I parted with my weapons. Trust me, I have right good will to use them, were it but to repay thee for thy sauciness." " By my faith I doubt it not, for thou seemest a cock of game. But thou art in better company than thou couldst have bargained for. Here at my side rides the worthy and worshipful Obedego Strong-in-faith, captain of certain pious dragoons in the service of the state ; and to his left is the devout Zacharius Trust-in-good-works, an officer in the same troop, marvellous and edifying disputants, as thou mayest have an opportunity of hearing. For myself, I am known by the carnal name of Richard Scampgrace, and am also an officer in the army of the parliament. Now who or what art thou in the devil's name ? " A soldier of fortune, and an adherent of the King." " A long-haired cavalier : be it so. And whither art thou bound ?" " To the castle of Sir David Tudor." " That thou canst not reach to-night. You have many a long mile to ride, and your steed pants and moves but dully. What say ye to passing the night at yonder hostelry where you see the light ?" The other paused ere he replied • and as he hesitated, one of his companions wheel e d f rom the left, bringing his horse round to the other side—a movement that passed not unob served by the cavalier; and, with a somewhat sorry grace, he declared his willingness to visit the hostelry. It was a long, low building, strongly formed of rough un dressed stone. Its porch had loop-holes for musketry ; its windows were protected by strong bars of iron ; an angry streamlet, gushing over loose and broken stones, which it had torn from the mountain above, formed a deep moat round the building ; and, to add to its martial character, the party had no sooner crossed a rustic bridge, than they were challenged by a guard of soldiers. The cavalier at this could not conceal his uneasiness. "By our Lady ! comrades of mine," said he, " ye have brought me to a fortalice instead of a hostelry." " It is in truth somewhat of both, and as occasion requires serves for either ; but that little recketh ; thou shalt find good entertainment, and thy steed shall be cared for." It was now too late to retract, and the cavalier dismount ing, and giving his horse to a groom, entered the building followed by his companions. A large fire was blazing on the hearth, huge waxen tapers stood upon the board, and the drowsy soldiers that occupied the benches glanced listlessly at the cavalier. The light showed him to be a young man of middle age, but strongly and gracefully built ; his features were plain, but animated by a keen and bright eye that told of the gallant wrecklessness of the royal adherents, and his long raven hair, sparkling with night dew, as it curled over his shoulders, added a grace and bea u ty t o hi s w h o l e appear ance. He had no sooner seated himself, than Scampgrace again addressed him. " Sir Cavalier," said he, " you must even give us up your papers and arms, but when Major Holdenburgh returns, and is satisfied with th ee an d t hi ne errand, i n the morning thou mavest depart without further question." " By St. George of England!" cried the cavalier, starting to his feet, " this is but churlish courtesy. Ye have invited me hither, and now—" " Small words will suffice," replied the other. "We have orders to guard the mountain passes, and to arrest all suspicious persons. So give up thy papers and weapons at once, and save us the trouble of taking them by rougher means." The eyes of the cavalier flashed with anger at the cool, determined manner of the Roundhead, and he seemed as if disposed forcibly to effect his retreat ; but a moment's reflection showed him the madness of such an attempt, and, unbuckling his belt, he flung his sword on the table, threw down his pistols, and declaring he had no p a p ers t o su b m it, gloomily resumed his seat. There was something in the air of the youth that repelled closer communion with his captors, and made them reluc tant—they knew not why—to come to extremities : they forebore, therefore, to search or lay hands upon him, but, in a more respectful tone, invited him to partake of a cheer which had just been laid upon the board. The wither wil lingly complied ; and while the soldiers were thus engaged, he took the opportunity of glancing carefully round the room, to examine the features of his entertainers. These, however, presented no peculiar marks, beyond the usual dull ness and gravity which characterised Cromwell's troops ; and he was giving up the scrutiny, satisfied with the result, when his eyes were arrested by the piercing glance of those of a soldier who, wrapped in his cloak, and seated in a distant corner, had, unobserved, been regarding hi m f or some ti me with f ixed attention. Just at that instant the door opened, and a beautiful girl entered with a fresh supply of wine. The soldier quickly removed his eyes from the cavalier, and looked eagerly towards the maiden as she approached the table. " Ah !" cried Scampgrace, " here comes the daughter of our host, fair Ellen Wynne, and I warrant for no other object but to see the young cavalier ; for well I wot, Ellen, thou comest but rarely among us." She blushed at the words, and the cavalier, dashing his heavy locks from his brow, gazed with admiration on the maiden before him. Long tresses of auburn fell in silken luxuriance over her tight bodice—her hazel eyes brightened with her smile, the lurking sweetness of which played around her lips, that, parting, showed teeth of pearly whiteness — her light and graceful figure—the fawn-like timidity of her approach, and the look of interest which she gave the young stranger might have aroused the attention of a more apa thetic gallant than he. " By mine honour, comrade," cried he, " you spoke well in saying that the daughter of our host was fair. Wilt thou pledge me, my pretty maiden I—for, on a soldier's word, I have never had such a cup-bearer before." The maiden touched the goblet with her lips, and the youth, raising it in his hand, exclaimed—" I drink to thee, fair Ellen, and good, leal, and true may he be who kneels at the altar with such a bride." Then, draining the cup, threw it down—" Thou wilt not refuse a knightly boon nor cour tesy." added he, rising from his seat, and drawing a spark ling ring from his finger, which he placed on that of the blushing girl—and then, with the customary gallantry of the times, drew her towards him and kissed her cheek. But he had whispered something in Ellen's ear, that drove the blood from her face, and she stood as if petrified. Her eye glanced wildly round the room, until it met the keen look of the dark soldier in the corner ; the blood again rushed over her cheek and brow, and she hastily glided from the apartment. The din of revelry was over in the hostelry —the soldiers slumbered on the benches—and the prisoner sat alone in the narrow chamber in which his humble pallet had been spread. The dull tread of the guard—the howl of the blast and the roar of the mountain torrent fell cheerless on his ear—the sickly flame of the lamp seemed like the waning of hope, and the loneliness of the hour added melancholy to his musings. " Fool that I was," he exclaimed bitterly, " to have left the open heath for this paltry prison-house, where I be at the mercy of my deadliest enemies. Would to God I had my good steed once more under me, and the sword in my grasp, these prick-eared dogs w ou ld hardly again wile me into their lure. Fool! fool! that I was, he repeated, as, chafing like a prisoned tiger, he hurriedly paced the apart ment. A light step was heard approaching—the cavalier suddenly paused—immediately the door of his apartment was cautiously opened, and Ellen Wynne, pale and agitated, and bearing a small lamp, glided noiselessly to his side. Her long hair hung dishevelled over her heaving bosom—her eyes were glistening with tears, and her hands trembled as she placed the lamp upon the hearth. " My fair Ellen," cried the cavalier, a flash of joy bright. ening his features, " I knew thou would'st not betray me." " Betray thee !" cried the maiden, clasping her hands, " never, never ! but alas ! to aid thee exceeds my power." " Say not so," replied the cavalier, " the eyes, my pretty Ellen, that can break hearts, can also undo iron bars. Is there no soldier of the guard who calls himself the lover of Ellen Wynne ?" The maiden blushed at the question, but replied, without hesitation—" There is even such an one, but him I dare not trust ; and yet," continued she in a musing tone, " there was a time when right blithely I would have trusted• Ralph Lloyd, but he is altered now. He forsook the banners of Sir David Tudor to join the army of Cromwell ; and if he knew the rank of his prisoner, the reward they have put upon your head would tempt him.to betray spu." " And wherefore did he 'change his pitti, and . why may . he not now be trusted ? Do'at still love the soldier, Ellen ?'' " Love him! no, no ! I never loved Ralph Lloyd ; but there is one who would not betray thee," cried the maiden with enthusiasm—" one who would die sooner." " And who, or where is he i'; -- ZisfilaecWalier smiling. " Alas !" said Ellen in a tone of despondency, " he is far from here, and it would go hard with him if he fell into the hands of the troops of Cromwell. But I have sent a mes senger to him, and were you once beyond these walls, you would find Edgar Vaughan a true and trusty escort." " I shall have small need of his services if I escape not ere Major Holdenburgh arrives, to whom I cannot be unknown. S'death, Ellen, could'st thou but procure me a brand-, I would even—" Here a suppressed scream from the maiden caused the cavalier to pause, and turning to the door, he perceived the dark look of the soldier, who at supper had so closely watched him, fixed scowling and steadily upon the maiden and him self. At that very instant the sound of advancing horsemen was heard. " They come ! they come !" cried Ellen in ter ror, grasping with both hands the arm of the cavalier. Then turning to the soldier—" Ralph ! Ralph !" she cried in an imploring tone, " would you betray your King ?" Ha !" cried the soldier, in a voice of exultation, " it is even as I thought." But as he spoke, the royal prisoner sprang suddenly upon him, wrested his dagger from his hand, and held it gleaming before his eyes, exclaiming " One word, miscreant, and thou diest !" _ _ _ " The king ! the king !" shouted the struggling soldier, extricating his arm, and drawing a pistol from his belt ; but his active antagonist on the instant struck his dagger in his throat, and hurled him down the narrow staircase. " The king ! the king !" echoed again the horsemen with out, as the clashing of arms was followed by the ring of a peal of musketry ; and ere its tingle left the ear, a loud voice was heard to cry, " Surrender to the soldiers of king Charles !" " 'Tis he !" cried Ellen, starting up with sudden anima tion from the drooping into which she had shrunk with ter ror, " 'tis Edgar !" .. " Shrrender, dogs of Cromwell!" shouted the same voice, as the pike butts of the horsemen thundered at the door. It was soon burst open. Startled, weakened, and dis pirited, the assailed offered but feeble resistance, and yielded themselves prisoners to the adherents of the king. But they sought not thus to profit by the surrender. Rushing In, Edgar Vaughan caught Ellen in his arms ; then recognizing the king, doffing his bonnet, and bending his knee, he ex claimed, " Mount, mount, my liege ! The passes are beset, and the beacons are burning on the hills of Shropshire and Montgomery. It was no time for parley. A stout steed was ready at the door ; and young Edgar, hurriedly whispering to Ellen, once more embraced her, and then led the way for his royal master. " Good betide thee, fair Ellen," cried the king, " and God speed the day that brings me p ower t o requ it e t h y kind ness.' Then springing to the saddle, the horse-hoofs of the littlg party clattered for an instant on the rocky pathway, and then died away on the distant heath. Ten summers had smiled on the mountain valleys of Merioneth, and where had stood the humble hostelry, was reared a noble baronial hall.—lt 1.5.: long since passed away, and there remains not even a ruin to tell where it stood ; but its founder and his fair dame are not forgotten, and many a proud family in Wales can boast descent from Sir Edgar Vaughan and Ellen Wynne. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES UPON ELECTRICITY. On Saturday evening, Robert Addams, Esq. delivered the second of his highly interesting lectures. The intensity and the quantity of electricity are by no means synonymous terms. The spark of an electrical ma chine may be more intense than the most powerful electric battery, although the latter may contain a thousand times the quantity, in the same manner as the thermometer, plunged into a teacupfull of boiling water, may indicate a higher tem perature, than if it were immersed in the boiler of a steam engine, although there would be an immense quantity of heat spread through the water of the latter. By intensity is meant the tendency which the electricity has to escape from the electric substance, and we find that there the electricity has a greater teudency to escape from the end of the brass con ductor than at the proportion of 21 to 1, and the same holds good with a metallic disc, with respect to the circumference of the centre. If we bring a pointed metallic instrument near to the conductor of an electrifying machine, it will attract the electricity without noise and at a much greater distance than a globular metallic ball. Indeed, we find that though we hold a ball and a point at the same time to a con ductor of electricity, even though the point be held at a greater distance than the ball, that the whole of the electri city will be carried off by the point. This shows the use of pointed metallic rods, as conductors of electricity by land or sea. The phenomena displayed by a metallic point are partly produced by currents of air in the neighbourhood : for if we place the pointed rod a few inches within a glass tube, it will then receive sparks as if it were a rounded ball. There is such a considerable rush of air from a pointed conductor as would blow out the flame of a candle placed near to it. This proves that there is something rushing out—either the electri city is putting in motion the air, or there is electric fluid rushing out with the air. Upon this principle of having a flow of atmospheric air from pointed wires, we can set in motion certain bodies to represent astronomical phenomena. [Mr. Addams then placed an orrery, consisting of the sun, earth, and moon, upon the end of the prime conductor, and electricity having been excited by the machine the orrery was put in motion, and correctly represented the movements of the bodies which it was intended to represent.] A negative body will not always attract a positive one ; for, if I employ a pointed body, the reverse will be the case. Thus, if I place a toy representing a man, with a quantity of hair on his head, upon the prime conductor, the hair will stand an end diverge. If I touch the parts of this hair with a rounded ball, they will all be attracted by it ; but if I touch them with a pointed surface, they will all be repelled and fall. Some electricians account for this by supposing, that the point receives a stream of electricity from the machine itself, and becomes similarly electrified. It is a singular fact, that if a plate of glass be covered with a piece of tin foil and insulated, that it will receive but a very small portion of electricity (not one-hundredth part) com pared with what it will, provided both sides be coated, and one of the coated surfaces be placed in contact with conduct ing substances connected with the earth. Upon this princi ple the Leyden jars are constructed, the inside coating re ceiving the electricity, and the outside forming a conductor to the earth. If a Leyden jar be held upon a cake of resin it will not take up one-hundredth part of the electricity it would contain if placed in connexion with the earth. The inside of a Leyden jar is charged at the expense of a portion of elec tricity which escapes from the outside. For every spark which enters the inside of the glass jar, a spark leaves the outside, and a hundred jars in succession may be charged by making the outside of one jar charge the inside of another. According to the mode in which we charge the Leyden jars, the inside is positive and the outside negative, which is readily proved by the electrometer. We can, however, charge the outside of a Leyden jar positively, in which case the inside becomes negative, by allowing the electricity to enter the outside and not through the knob. The coating of the Ley den jars are of no further use than to cause an agreeable dis tribution of the electricity, as the electricity adheres to the surface of the glass and not to the metal. This can be easily demonstrated by charging a Leyden phial, and then succes sively taking away both coatings and applying them to the electrometer. We shall find that they contain no electricity, but upon again placing them in connexion with the jar as be fore, we shall find the jar to contain its full charge. if we take a larger jar we shall get a greater accumulation of electricity. Upon this principle the electrical battery is constructed, which consists of a number of Leyden jars connected together. By means of these batteries we can readily fuse metallic wines. The motion of lightning has been proved by Mr. Wheatstone to be 200,000 miles in a second of time, and this can be shewn in several ways. The rapidity of lightning is shewn by tak ing two knobs one of which shall be connected w ith t h e electrical machine, and the other placed on the edge of a whirling table ; when, however swiftly the whirling table may be revolved, there will be no deflection of the spark from the perpendicular in passing from knob to knob. The modes by which Wheatstone determined the velocity of lightning were not such as to be suited for a lecture room. Explosive gases can be ignited by the electrical spark. Chemical action will likewise produce electricity. Pro fessor Volta found that when he took different metals, say copper and zinc, and held them together, he had a great stream of elecricity, but of little intensity. He found that by placing these metals in pairs into cells, and pouring acidu lated water between them, and connecting the ends by means of wires, that a powerful electric current was produced. Vol taic batteries are now charged with a solution of the brisul plerate of copper, which is found to answer better than the acidulated waters. Such is the powerful electricity excited by this means that if a pair of zinc and copper plates between six and eight inches square, be placed even in spring water, and the connexion be made with a fine platinic wire, the wire will be made red hot, and continue so as long as the action is continued. No electrical machine has yet been made which has been able to perform this phenomenon. On Saturday evening, Mr. Addams continues the consi deration of magnetic electricity. THE USE OF APPETITE.—In childhood and youth a healthy appetite is the best of all guides, nor is any other re quired. But there is one rule, which ought to be universally observed. Never continue to eat until the appetite is cloyed; rise from the repast even while a further supply of food would be grateful. In this case, the stomach is not over loaded, and the work of digestion proceeds rapidly ; but, if this caution is neglected, a portion of food will remain undi gested for a long time, and give rise to many evils, the reason of which is shown by Dr. Beaumont to be the deficiency of gastric juice ; the quantity of which secreted, at any one time, being in proportion to the wants of the system, not to the quantity of food taken.—Curtis on Health. MARCHlNG.—Marching is an art to be acquired only by habit, and one in which the strength or agility of the animal man has but little to do. I have seen Irishmen, and all sorts of countrymen, in their own country, taken from the plough —huge, athletic, active fellows, who would think nothing of doing forty or fifty miles in the course of the day as country men—see these men placed in the ranks as recruits, with knapsacks on their backs and a musket over their shoulders, and in the first march they are dead beat before they get ten miles. I have heard many disputes on the comparative cam paigning powers of tall and short men ; but as far as my own experience goes, I have never seen any difference. If a tall man break down, it is immediately noticed to the disadvan tage of his class ; but if the same misfortune befalls a short one, it is not looked upon as being anything remarkable. The effective powers of both in fact depend upon the nature of the building.—Randum Shots. I TIPPOO SULTAN ' S THRONE. The Sultan's throne, we are told, being too unwieldy to be conveyed away, was broken up. It consisted of a howdah, or armed seat, upon a tiger covered with sheet gold ; the ascent was by silver steps, gilt ; the canopy was equally superb, and decorated with a costly fringe of white pearls all around it. The eyes and teeth of the tiger were of glass; it was valued at 60,000 pagodas, or upwards of £25,000 sterling. The sheet-gold alone was estimated at 40,000 pagodas. Every inch of the howdah contained an Arabic inscription, chiefly from the Koran, and superbly stamped, being raised and polished in the most beautiful manner. A gold figure of a bird, covered over with the most precious stones, was fastened to the top of the canopy ; its beak was a large emerald, its eyes were carbuncles, the breast was covered with diamonds; on its back were many large jewels, fancifully arranged ; while the tail, made to resemble a peacock, was actually studded in the same manner. The whole was so formed as to have the appearance of plumage, and so closely set, that the gold was hardly to be seen.—Alexander's Life of the Duke of Wel lington. A PLEASANT PROSPECT.—An old man, who was employed as superintendent of the ferry, which communicated with the opposite shore of Essex, came up to the spot where I stood ; his arrival was soon evident to the youngsters, one of whom betrayed unmistakeable signs of shame and alarm at being thus suddenly detected in his attempt at a clandestine aquatic excursion; scarcely had the crimson blush mounted on his cheek, when the ferryman, in the kindest tone, thus addressed him :—" Well, Bill, you'll have a were nice sail as far as Erith Reach—tide's running down fast, and the little wind there is will carve to carry you there as pleasantly as heart can wish ; you . can go ashore—have your bit of bread and cheese com fortably with your mate ; by the time you've finished your ale, the tide 'ul be upon the turn ; you can manage to be back quite time enough to put up the boat before dark, and be home to supper with your mother and I. That's all well, so far, but now for t'other tack—you'll have your day's pleasure, so will I—and if, before breakfast to-morrow morn ing, there's a bone in your body that don't ache, why, blame me, th at's all lull s Mme Service. SELECT EXTRACTS.' THE BLESSINGS of LONGEVITY.—The period of matu rity is the only one which admits of prolongation. Infancy, childhood, and youth, have each certain limits, which are seldom come short of or exceeded : in a given number of years the human being arrives at the highest development of which it is capable, and art can do but little to hasten or retard the arrival of that epoch. So it is with old age—it cannot endure beyond a certain time, but speedily leads to the grave. The period of manhood—the period in which all the powers, both mental and bodily, are in the highest per fection,,is alone capable of extension ; and it is so capable almost indefinitely. What a strong motive does not this consideration afford for taking care of the health—for study ing the natural laws, on which health depends—and for putting ourselves, as far as possible, in conformity with those laws ! And how clearly does this show that longevity is a good—a real, a substantial good, the attainment of which is well worth striving for, and the possession of which must contribute largely to happiness !—Curtis on Health. MEANS OP WARDING OFF COLDS.—The best preventive, measure against colds is attention to the general health. Healthy persons never catch cold ; many never air their linen, and are quite regardless of damp sheets, or wet boots, with complete immunity from those consequences which would inevitably result to the unhealthy and delicate. Some classes of labouring men, such as brickmakers, &c. are exposed to all the inclemency and vicissitudes of our climate, and yet scarcely ever suffer from catarrh. Indeed, l am o f opinion, that " colds" comparatively seldom arise from mere exposure to wet,—the cause to which in this country they are almost universally referred. If such exposure does produce this consequence, it is because there was some predisposing cause in the system of the individual attacked. The French, in consequence of being much in the open air, rarely catch cold, and frequently manifest surprise when they hear Englishmen express their fear of colds, and inquire what this d-eaded calamity is—so little acquaintance have they with it.—Curtis on Health. THE PRESS.—The press, like the coral insect, is daily creating for itself a new habitation, even in the remote seas of the Pacific. The Sandwich Islands, but a few years since inhabited only by barbarians, and unknown to the rest of the world, have now their regular newspaper, ministering to all the wants which belong to civilised society. The Sand wich Island Gazelle, published at Honolulu, Oahu, has al ready made considerable progress, and emulates the journals of old-established colonies. It is curious to read some of the advertisements in th's gaze'te of the antipodes, where " Jen kins and Stubblebeen, tailors," residing " near the King's Palace," recommend the fashionable cut of their clothes to customers whom we never suspected of wearing any ; where an auctioneer's notice disposes of goods, chattels, and estates, as freely, though it may be not quite so eloquently, as our friend George Robins ; and where a demand for " bookbind ers" indicates that literature is not confined to the broad sheet alone. Truly this is amongst the triumphs of the press. AN IRISH TAILOR.—The Irish are very fanciful in their signs. One made use of by a tailor at Cahirciveen illustrates the truth of my favourite doctrine, that misfortunes, defects, and ignorance, may often be turned to good account by a mind determined, to make the most of every circumstance. A tailor who lived in the little town made once upon a time a long journey to see the world ; and, on his return, put up his name and trade over his shop, adding, in large and triumph ant letters " From London." His business, of course, in creased immensely ; and all the other tailors (for there were many in a place which furnished clothes to the dense popula tion of the surrounding country) were in despair. At last the poorest and most miserable of them all resolved to make a desperate attempt to carry away the custom from the usurping traveller. He lived opposite the tailor " from Lon don," and one fine morning a large sign appeared over his door, bearing the words " Thady O'Shaughnessy, tailor," and in gigantic letters, " Never was in Londo n ." The sign created first a laugh, then perhaps a feeling of admiration for Thady's honest audacity, and soon the custom was transfer red from the illustrious traveller to the honeit man who "never was in London."—Lady Chatterton's _Rambles in the South of Ireland. THE ALPS.—On the route of Mont Cenis, Roche Melon, one of the highest of the Alps, is crowned with a chapel where mass is yearly said. There is something romantic in the idea of making one of the most savage and inaccessible spots in nature a proselyte to Christianity, and also in the fact of its having been the vow of a prisoner in the Holy Land, who had probably constantly presented to his mind as the gaol of his release the summit of this mountain, which was the most striking object to him in Piedmont, the land of his nativity ; and if he reached not the Jerusalem of the Holy Land, this new one of his fancy he founded in the air on the plain of Mont Cenis ; tall, gaunt, black crucifixes, the sublime sand ard of heaven, show the way—amid the sublimity of earth — the way to Rome, which, terrible to Hannibal and to Napo leon, is easy to the church militant. Chapels hang over the yawning gulf—places of refuge in the storm, as if to say Christ was the only salvation in danger ; but here and there sinister crosses revial to the memory the place where the voyageur has fallen under the stroke of homicidiary iron, and shows that there was no protection against the ,passions of man.—Metropolitan Magazine. POWER OF HABlT.—There is a state of vice brought on by habit, in which a man finds a pleasure in doing evil, and is incapable of any other pleasure. lago is our example, a character which, it is to be feared, is by no means out of life. Imagine a shrewd and selfish child, permitted from in fancy to create for himself a satisfaction in the disquietude of others ; a little worrier of defenceless creatures, a petty ty rant indulged in his worst caprices ; imagine such a one, as he grows up, placed where his habits cannot be indul ge d but in secret, and where those around him are such, that he must, in his own mind, either hate them, or hate himself; imagine all this, and lago will appear too possible a character. Some critics have objected, that there is no sufficient motive for the mischief he brings on Othello, Desdemona, and Cas sio. Can there be to him a stronger motive than that they are noble minded, benevolent, and happy, and tacitly remind him at every instant that he is in all respects a wretch? He knows and bitterly feels, that each " bath a daily beauty in his life that makes him ugly." The only pleasure which habit has given him in lieu of those of which it has made him incapable, is, to torture the beings that wound his self-love to the quick, and to destroy the happiness he cannot partake in. Such is the power of habit.—Smart's Beginnings of a New School of Metaphysics. A Kooun ENCAMPMENT.-An " Eelyaut" encampment, in a cheerful and well-watered country, is one of the most picturesque and happiest scenes imaginable. A patriarchal simplicity stamps their manners, and seems almost to realize the sweet pictures of the poet's Arcadia. Free as the air they breathe, they shift their goat's-hair tents from stream to spring, from valley to mountain, with the changing sea sons, and look down with pity and contempt upon the ` sit ters in houses." Although Mahommedans, their women are unveiled ; and they not only share the toils of their husbands and brothers, but sometimes emulate them in feats of horse manship. Though rarely pretty, the glow of health and the good-humoured expression of these young Koordish maidens supply the place of beauty, and their gay costume displays to great advantage their full round forms and sun-burned fea tures. Upon them devolve the labours of the dairy and the loom, while the young men tend the flocks, or scour the country round in search of game. The elders of the tribe enjoy the true otium cum dignitate, seated in front of their huts, where they receive the passing stranger, and smoke with him the pipe of welcome. The black Koordish tent, supported by its many poles, is a very picturesque object ; and when they are grouped together on the margin of some mountain stream, surrounded by their flocks and herds, they form a very pretty picture.—Captain Wilbraham's Travels. ROMANTIC FAMILY STORY. —The following singular his tory of the preservation of the property at present inherited by Sir Lucius O'Brien, Bart., of Dromoland, is given by Lady Chatterton, in her very agreeable benevolently-inten tioned work entitled Rambles in the South of Ireland: — "There is a romantic traditionary story told'of the manner in which the O'Brien party has been preserved amid the re volutions in Irish affairs. Connor O'Brien is said to have been the only gentleman in the county of Clare, who, after the Commonwealth party was triumphant, refused to make terms with Ireton ; and Ireton is believed to have caused him to be assassinated, having despatched a party o f fi ve o f hi s best marksmen, in disguise of sportsmen, for the purpose. Connor O'Brien's wife, Mary-ni-Mahon, informed her sons Tiegue and Donough of the murder Of their father, and at the same time advised them to offer no further opposition to the dominion of the English regicides. The assassin, how ever, was taken and hanged ; and immediately after his exe cution the widow of Connor O'Brien or d ere d her carriage to be prepared. Dressing herself in a superb suit of blue and silver, she travelled with six horses towards Limerick, which then was the head quarters of Ireton, and where he soon after died. It so happened that on the evening of her arrival there was a large entertainment at the general's quarters. Upon demanding at the door to see Ireton, she was refused admis sion by the sentinel. A discussion followed, which it would appear was of so noisy a character that it attracted the atten tion of Ireton, who, coming to the door, inquired the cause of the sentinel's violent conduct, and why he refused ad mittance to a lady of noble appearance ; asking, at the same time, the name of his noble visitor. " I was," she replied, " the wife of Connor O'Brien, but I am now his widow." Ireton hesitated to believe her; but the disconsolate widow convinced him that she was free by offering to marry one of his officers. He assented to the proposal, and she was mar ried to an officer named Cooper. By this marriage the O'Brien property was saved from forfeiture. Her sons Teigue and Donough, finding that a political struggle was again likely to occur in Ireland, in the contest between James 11. and William 111., and that their property would be again endangered by their decidedly espousing either party, they consulted together, and determined that one should take the Jacobite and the other the Orange side of the question. The choice was made by Teigue as the eldest brother, who deter mined to follow the cause of James, his lawful king ; Donough became a partisan of William's and the possessor of the pro USICAL TALENTS OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FATHER.—During the peaceful times in which he flourished, Garret, Earl of Mornington, acquired a singular celebrity. In him was illustrated one of those instances of precocious musical talent which astonish all who witness them, and e . main inexplicable by metaphysical or other rules. While yet in the arms of his nurse, and before he was able to put a complete sentence togeth er , he distinguished the performance of his father, who was an excellent violinist, from that of Dubourg, a professor, so nicely, that when the latter visited at Dangan Castle, the child would not suffer his father to play ; and during the performance of the most difficult pieces, he beat time with so much accuracy, as to lead those present to conclude that he could not mark it untruly. At the age of nine years he was persuaded, by a painter em ployed in the mansion, to take up a violin and attempt to play ; and, in the space of a few hours, he learned the old catches of " The Christ Church Bells" and " Sing one, two, three—come follow me." A neighbouring clergyman was much applauded for the composition of a new country dance ; and this little circumstance secretly worked upon the feelings of the embryo musician so acutely, that he now turned com poser, and, without the assistance or knowledge of any one, produced a minuet, the bass of which he wrote in treble clef. He next composed a seranata, consisting of three parts, not yet having had any instruction, nor even having heard music, except his father's playing on the violin and his sisters' on the harpsichord, and not having attained his 14th year. His father, observing the extraordinary musical genius of his son, told him that he had an intention of presenting an organ to the parish church, if his son had been capable of acting as organist. The youth immediately promised that if his father would only order an organ to be built, he would be fully prepared to play the most difficult music by the time of its erection ; which promise he actually fulfilled, playing fugues extempore, the moment the instrument was set up, to the amusement of his father and friends, who had never be fore heard him execute a single bar, nor had he an instru ment to practise on. In process of time, his lordship read, studied, and composed music ; and although he never re ceived any instruction in that pleasing science, Rosengrave and Gerniniani, who examined his compositions, declared that they were agreeable to all the established rules, and that he seemed intimately acquainted also with their proper ex ceptions. In the early part of his life, he was always most pleased with simple melodies, but subsequently he exhibited a strong predilection for church music and full harmony. He was ultimately so distinguished as a musical composer and performer, that the University of Dublin conferred upon him the degree of Doctor and Professor of Music ; and a chant which he composed continues to this day, to be performed in the churches of Dublin. Amongst the most admired of his vocal compositions are, " Here in cool grot," " When for the world's repose," " 'Twas you, Sir," Gently hear me, charming maid," " Come fairest nymph," and `• By green tree." Writers of music a l bi ograp hy have distinguished fi ve from among those that were mos t cons picuous by a di s pl a y of musical talent in i n f ancy : t h ey are , Mozart, Ch ar l es Wesley, Samuel Wesley, Little Crotch, and Lord Morning ton.—/* and Campaign, of the _puke qf Wellington. tpbti3ptitir Enttitivitrt.

Since Tuesday last, the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastways have again been very moderate, but of Wheat from foreign ports we have had a pretty large addition to our stock in bond; fine mealing Oats and Oatmeal being in small compass, have found very steady sales at fully our last quotations, but for Wheat and all other articles in the Corn trade the demand has been very limited, without variation in value, and the same re marks are applicable to all the Corn markets of this county and Yorkshire ; the weather continued unseasonably cold last week, the Welsh hills appeared covered with snow, and some showers of sleet occurred throughout this district, with the exception of which, and a few showers of rain about the middle of last month, barely suf ficient to wet the surface of the land, there has been very little rain for the last ten weeks, and although the weather is now wanner, and the appearance of the country to superficial observers is not un favourable, a continuance of drought must soon become very in jurious. The only alteration in the duty on Grain from foreign ports since Friday last, is a reduction of 1s 6d per quarter on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, and it is now likely that duty will be paid on all those articles in bond.—The demand for bonded Flour for ex port has been very limited last week at the prices quoted, but it has more lively for Oats in bond at an advance of Id to 2d per 451 b. At this day's market the demand was very much paralyzed by the decline in Mark-lane yesterday, and the transactions were very limited for every article in the trade at barely the prices of this day week ;—from the same cause a quantity of duty-paid Western Canal and Baltimore Flour offered by auction at the close of our market was chiefly withdrawn for the want of bidders • 35s 9d per barrel being the highest offer for Western Canal, and 34s for Baltimore.

The number of Beasts at market to-day has been somewhat larger than last week, and the quality generally pretty good, but we can not note any alteration in the prices, buyers having been rather numerous. The supply of Sheep has been exceedingly limited—by far the smallest number ever shown at this market at this season of the year. There have been a good few Lambs, some of which were of very good quality, and sold at prices rather less than last week. Good Beef may be quoted at lid to 7ifd, with a few very tight Beasts of a superior description at Bd, second quality 7d, puddling 6id, ordinary at 64d. Good Wether Sheep in wool realised gd per lb. clibbl Ditto ad, ordinary and Ewes at a shade less, and not a Shee t to be purchased after a very early hour in the forenoon. Lambs may be quoted at from 20s to 36s per head. There were a few Pigs of only middling quality, which were sold at 44d to 4id per lb. The market throughout may be considered a brisk one, as all the stock was principally sold up at the close. Number of Cat tle at market :—Beasts got, Sheep and Lambs 2707, Pigs 47. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 23. The Cotton market still contiues in a very dull and inactive state ; neither is there any prospect of improvement here, until better accounts are received from the manufacturing districts. The sales yesterday were about 1500 bales, and to-day 2000 bales, at rather easier prices. The imports since the 17th.instant, amount to 31,028 bales, namely, 12,009 Bowed, 16,452 Orleans, 2059 Pernambuco and Ceara, 382 Egyptian, 100 Peruvian, and 26 West India.
