' • Vottrp. THE LABOURER'S NOON-DAY HYMN. BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH. Up to the throne of God is borne The voice of praise at early morn, And he accepts the punctual hymn Sung as the light of day grows dim. Nor will he turn his ear aside From holy offerings at noontide; Then, here reposing, let us raise A song of gratitude and praise. What though our burden be not light, We need not toil from morn till night ; The respite of the mid-day hour Is in the thankful creature's power. Blest are the moments, doubly blest, That, drawn from this one hour of rest, Are with a ready heart bestow'd Upon the service of our God ! Why should we crave a hallow'd spot ? An altar is in each man's cot ; A church in every grove that spreads • Its living roof above our heads. Look up to Heaven !—the industrious sun Already half his race hath run; He cannot halt or go astray, But our immortal spirits may. Lord ! since his rising in the east, If we have faltered or transgres'd, Guide, from thy love's abundant source, What yet remains of this day's course ! Helpwith thy grace, through life's short day, Our upward and our downward way ; And glorify for us the west, When we shall sink to final rest ! TO A CHILDLESS MOTHER. BY MRS. SIGOURNEY. (From the New York Ladies' Companion.) Mother of kings !—with what a lofty port Among the nobles of the realms she reigned, And drank the incense of a venal court, As though her brow the regal crown sustained. Mother of heroes !--what a thrill of pride "Ran through her bosom, when their fame was won ; Such was her joy—who cradled at her side Our " pater patrite," godlike Washington But thuu, 0 meek and saintly—whose tear Flows forth so frequent o'er the burial sod, Far higher honour waits thy wo severe— Mother of angels ?—stay thy soul on God. ON DEATH. BY SIR WALTER RALEIGH. Man's like a tragedy ; his mother's womb, From which he enters, is the tiring room : This spacious earth the theatre ; and the stage That country which he lives in : passions, rage, Folly, and vice are actors : the first cry The prologue to the ensuing tragedy. The former act consisteth of dumb shows ; The second, he to more perfection grows ; I'th' third he is a man, and doth begin To nurture vice, and act the deeds of sin ; I'th' fourth declines ; i'th' fifth diseases clog And trouble him ; then death's his epilogue ! COLONIZATION OF NEW ZEALAND. (From the Scottish Guardian.) The subject of colonization is increasing in interest every day ; and of late the islands of New Zealand have attracted much attention as presenting one of the finest fields in the world for the foundation of a British colony. A bill was introduced into Parliament last session, the object of Which was to plant a colony in New Zealand on the same principles as the new colo nies of South Australia. For some reason not gene rally understood this bill did not receive the support of government, and it was thrown out. But notice has been given that it is to be brought in again during the present session, as won after Easter as possible. We believe that government object to vesting the govern ment of the colony in commissioners, and would rather that a crown colony were established ; but, at all events, it is resolved that British protection shall be extended to all settlers in the country, and orders have been al ready given for the despatch of a British ship of war to be stationed in the Bay of Islands. In the meantime, a company is in the course of for mation in Scotland, on the principle of a land and emi gration company, for the purchase and resale of land in New Zealand, with the view of promoting emigra tion from Scotland to the company's land; in short, to establish, on an extensive and systematic scale, the means of enabling the surplus population of the High lands, and other parts of Scotland, to transfer their in dustry and enterprise to the fertile valleys, noble rivers, and boundless forests of New Zealand. A number of proprietors in the Western Highlands, and influential gentlemen in Glasgow and Edinburgh, are among the promoters of the scheme—the prospectus of which, it is expected, will be laid before the public in a very short time. We are convinced of the importance of a measure of this kind, and that it highly deserves the encourage ment of both our landed proprietors and mercantile men. It is prpiiitahle to Glasgow that it has taken the lead in the enterprise, the first meeting having been held in the Exchange on the 20th ultimo—Sir John Campbell, of Airds, Bart., in the absence of the Lord Provost, in the chair—and we have no doubt whatever that a very extensive shipping trade will be carried on ere long betwixt the Clyde and the new colony. Colo nization is but in its infancy, and it bespeaks an en largement of mind worthy the character of the mer chants of our city, when they can foresee the mighty results, both mercantile and philanthropic, which will Certainly spring from the present scheme, if judiciously planned and boldly carried out. There is an almost universal opinion in favour of New Zealand, and thou sands who are now emigrating to the colonies, would go there in preference were it once systematically co lonised. We are glad that the press is beginning to direct rublic attention to New Zealand. Amongst the most intelligent supporters of the cause of British coloniza tion in New Zealand is the editor of the London Spec ty: tor, and latterly some of the Edinburgh papers have :k-en up the subject. The following description ap _Dears in the Edinburgh Observer of T ues d a y, 26th March : In its geographical position and features New Zea land bears no inconsiderable resemblance to the British Isles. Like them it consists of two large islands, stretching, from south to north, through ten or twelve degrees of the temperate zone, and possessing a sur face agreeably diversified with hill and dale ; but in the case of New Zealand, the sister isles, instead of lying side by side, like Great Britain and Ireland, are placed (so to speak) end to end—the two being sepa rated by a narrow channel, named Cook's Strait. Situated a few degrees nearer to the equator than Britain, New Zealand has a milder and more genial climate than this country, while the difference of tem perature is not sufficiently great to render it in any way disagreeable to those who have been accustomed to the bracing air of our northern " land of the mountain and the flood." New Zealand is described as possess ing an atmosphere exceedingly pure and salubrious, and withal, so balmy and sweet, that it will stand com parison with that of the South of France, Italy, or any other of the finest and most agreeable regions of the world. The heat of its brilliant sun is pleasantly tem pered by the refreshing sea-breezes, and the cool and invigorating air from the lofty mountains by which both islands are intersected. The soil is uncommonly rich and fertile ; the fructifying influences of the genial climate produce an extraordinary luxuriance of vege tation, and enable all descriptions of grain, roots, and fruits, cultivated in Europe, to be grown successively in New Zealand. Abundance of fine timber, well adapted for all useful purposes, may be had from the forests which exist in the interior of the country ; the sea around the coast is rich in valuable fish ; and no thing seems to be awanting but man's industry, enter prise, and skill, to render those favoured islands of the south the abodes of peace and plenty. Its insular character and favourable geographical po sition, with relation to various important portions of the earth, peculiarly fit New Zealand for becoming the seat of a great commercial community. = RURAL POLICE. `The fret report of the commissioners appointed to inquire 4s to the best means of establishing an efficient constabulary force in the counties of England and Wales, has just been laid on the table of the House of Commons. It is very elaborate and minute, inquiring apparently with great care into the whole subject. We have not at present either time to exa mine the details, or space to insert anything more than the chief recommendations of the commissioners. They are as follows : I.—That as a primary remedy for the evils set forth, a paid constabulary force should be trained, appointed, and organized on the principles and management recognised by the legis ture in the appointment of the new metropolitan police force. 2.--That for this purpose an application in writing, under the hands and seals of the majority of the justices assembled at any quarter sessions of the peace for the county, setting forth the insecurity of person and property, and the want of _paid constables, the commissioners of police shall, with the ;, approbation of the Secretary of State for the Home Depart meat, direct a sufficient number of constables, and such :officers as may, upon such examination as the sa id commis sioners shall make or direct, be by them deemed adequate ,for the due protection of life or property within the county. 3.—The force shall be paid one-fourth from the consoli dated fund, and three-fourths from the county rates, as a part of the general expenses of the whole county. 4.—That the constables so appointed shall report their - .proceedings to the magistrates of the quarter and petty ses c'tions where they are stationed. a.—That the superintendents shall be subject to dismissal upon the representation of the justices of the peace in quarter sessions, and that the sergeants and constables shall be sub ject to tlismissal upon the representation of the justices of the peace petty sessions. 6.—That the magistrates shall frame rules and regulations for the service of process, and attendance at petty or quarter sessions of such force, which rules shall be submitted to the Secretary of State, and if approved by him shall be binding. 7.—That the commissioners shall frame rules and regula tions for the general management of the police, which rules shall, on the approbation of the Secretary of State, be binding. ;:f THE CROPS.—The wheats on the hills do not make much progress ; yet, on the whole, they look healthy, though back ward. In the weald, on the wet soil, they looked chilled ; bob not so much so that a few days of warm weather would not restore them. The oat sowing is nearly finished, and barley sowing is commenced with every prospect of a good E f 4lion,.. excepting the cold.—Sussex Express. " Could a _foreign enemy have dismantled your arsenals, destroyed your fleets, deprived you of your ordnance, your ammunition, and your stores ? Could a foreign enemy have reduced your marine artillery, disbanded your yeomanry, and done away with your militia ? Could the Bourbons and Napoleon, conjointly with the United States, have realised by war the position you have made for your kinsmen and your troops in Canada? Could foreign enemies have con verted into foes those who twice defended your possessions against three armies of America, supported by France, bound to them by the ties of kindred, of language, and of faith ? Could foreign hostility have made your rulers withhold from your representatives the official data* on which alone an im partial judgment could be formed of your North American affairs, committing the tribunal of nationar justice itself to mistake the accused for the witnesses, the innocent for the guilty, to assume the responsibility of the blood of popula tions which they had allowed to be governed ' on antagonist principles,' and to be incited to their mutual destruction by the plunderers of both ? " Could a foreign enemy have turned British arms against the Basque provinces, the ancient barrier of Spain and Eng land against France ?—have compelled you to brand, as ' underhand political intriguers' British merchants trading with Circassia under the protection of the passport of your own ambassador? Could a foreign enemy have arrayed British arms against the Mussulman race, your ancient and most valuable ally against Russia and France ?—made you attack Persia and Affghanistan, the barrier of India against the Muscovite ? Could a foreign enemy have made you vio late, in self-sacrifice, every treaty whereby the commercial rights of England were guaranteed ? Could an enemy in war have torn a foreigner from the deck of the Queen of England, to fight against his country, compelled you to acknowledge the insult, and to ratify your dishonour by as cribing it to a mistake ? " And can you wonder at not having been attacked, when a countryman of your own has realised in every quarter of the globe the most sanguine aspirations of your foes I—when every hour that elapses enables them to support him in ruin ing your finances, degrading your name, falsifying truth, alienating your colonies, and compelling your expatriated sons to seek from other governments those advantages and rights denied them by their own ? " Such having been the advantages derived by foreign powers from strengthening the hands of your dexterous foreign minister, with his confiding and deluded colleagues in the management of purely British affairs, examine a few of the advantages they have in return derived from the sup port of England granted for their own affairs. " Could the state of Maine have dared to invade your North American possessions without the support of the vio lator of the convention of 1827—viz. your foreign minister ? Could Russia have dared to extinguish the nationality of Po land—destroy the republic of Cracow—invade Circassia— appropriate and fortify the mouths of the Danube—insult your admiralty flag at Odessa—prohibit your commerce with an independent country—incite Persia, Caubul, Burmah, Nepaul, against you—domineer in the Baltic—the Caspian, and the Euxine—but for the support of England herself, obtained through her foreign minister ? " Could France have ventured to violate every principle of justice, to outrage the feelings and interrupt the commerce of all nations by her bucaneering expeditions and paper block ades in Algeria, Senegal, and North and South America, but for the support of a nation whose alliance disarms resistance, enables her to substitute anti-national governments and parti sans of her own, in the room of the friends of England and of peace, to secure her fortified positions in every clime, to protect the partisans whom your national support has enabled her to create and arm against you ? " But, independently of the gigantic power lent by Eng land to each of her rivals for the accomplishment of their se parate designs, there remains another cogent reason why England has hitherto escaped attack. There has been deeply rooted and widely spread, not only through Europe, but throughout the world, a strong love of peace. There has been implanted among the liberal spirits of the great powers (Russia excepted) a warm attachment to the principles, and a great respect for the character of this country, and at the same time a dread of that enormous power, of which they had marked the efforts, and mourned or gloried in the effects." In another section of his work, the author of this treatise furnishes a most complete (would we could add satisfactory) reply to the statements of Sir John Bar row in reference to the relative strength of the English navy, and of the navies of foreign powers. We select that portion of the exposition which refers to the state of the Russian navy as compared with our own : " Both secretaries of the admiralty admit that, within a short interval, England can muster 49 sail of the line and five steamers of war, for the defence of the island, leaving the whole of our colonial possessions at the mercy of our foes, and admitting the hypothesis of the safe return of twelve sail of the line scattered over the ocean. " Grant that we have a respite even of a week for prepara tion. Within that period the return of your Mediterranean and distant ships being impossible, you can in reality muster only 37 sail of the line, with new and untried crews, many of them neither soldiers nor sailors, but men, torn in peace from their homes, unaccustomed to the sea and to war, and exe crating the improvidence of the country they are called upon to defend. " The ' emergency' is of course an attack from a foreign ene my, having the advantage of a week's priority of preparation. Suppose it be from Russia. Within a fortnight from the order being given at St. Petersburgh and Sevastopol, the Russian armada of the north, of 30 sail of the line, 17 heavy frigates, 8 steamers, and 30,000 men, with 10,000 of the guards, commanded by the Emperor in person, with or with out an ambassador of England on board, would have appear ed off Stockholm, added 10 sail of the line, 7 frigates, and 2 steamers of war, with all the disposal troops and artillery of Sweden, to its own strength, sailed onwards to Copenhagen with double the force with which Nelson attacked it in 1801, when Denmark had 23 sail of the line, and the Swedes 18. Hailed by the Danes as the avenger of their former defeats, the Emperor mans and adds five sail of the line and the artil lery and troops of Denmark to his ranks. The gates of the Baltic are closed, and the whole of the mercantile marine within its circuit is at the Emperor's disposal for the pur pose of transport ; and on the 14th day 45 sail of the line, 13 steamers of war, 24 frigates, and 70,000 disciplined troopst appear along our unfortified coast protected by our 37 sail. Do you count on Holland as an ally ? Is not the house of Orange trebly connected by marriage with the Emperor ? Have you been the friend of Holland ? Has not your foreign minister blockaded her shores, united with the French to bombard her fortresses, to dismember her provinces ? Will not her five line-of-battle ships, eight frigates, and three steamers of war, her artillery, and her arms, be placed at the disposal of the Emperor against you, making his force 51 sail of the line, and 30 frigates ? " Meantime you have ordered your Mediterranean fleet to return. Has the Emperor given no orders to his own Medi terranean squadron ? Have you not submitted to, and ac knowledged, the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, whereby Turkey is the offensive and defensive ally of Russia, and whereby, in case of need,' to be judged of by the Russian government, tne Russian fleet appears off Constantinople, adds the Turk ish fleet to its own, mans it from its own crews, and your Mediterranean squadron is passed or followed by a Russian squadron of 24 sail of the line, which intercepts or engages it on its way to join the Emperor's forces on your coast. " Your admiralty boasts of 49 sail of the line, being mus tered on an emergency.' That ' emergency' created by your antagonist, or, to speak diplomatically, by your ally, cuts off 12 sail of the line and surrounds your shores with 75 sail of the line, 45 of which have been exercised for the last five years, and lands in England, or in Scotland, or in Ireland, an army thrice the amount of yours, without the slightest diminu tion of your antagonist's power, without the necessity of any declaration, or any expense •, his present position having been entirely provided for with the support of your foreign ministers. " Your 37 sail of the line have to be got ready in two parts —at Sheerness, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, within a week. Would your three squadrons be permitted to unite ? Would they not be called upon separately to surrender ? Would not the loss of one of them be fatal ? Would your enemy hesi tate to expend 10,C00 men in the storming of any one of your dock-yards ? And, in the meantime, what becomes of the central point of your directing power, the metropolis? Do you imagine that the delay of an hour would intervene be tween the appearance of a hostile fleet and an attack with its whole force on a single point? The first lord of your admi ralty says that in a week your squadron may be got ready. And you believe him. Does he mean under the enemy's fire ?" The dangers which beset us on the side of France, and of the United States are scarcely, however, less imminent than those which are involved in the over whelming naval power of Russia. The situation of England at this moment, in point of fact, is beyond com parison more critical, than during the continental as cendancy of Bonaparte. Then, mighty as was the force opposed to England, the productive energies of England were in a far more healthy condition than they are at present; whilst the rulers of England had not yet acquired Lord Palmerston's habit of regulating all their official movements, so as best to suit the purposes of England's deadliest enemeis. *The evidence before a select committee on the affairs of Lower Canada, in 1834, was withheld from Parliament till after the passing of the resolutions of March, 1836. The depositions before the magistrates of Montreal, on which the writs were issued against the nineteen, have never been pro duced. Where is the official report of the first affray at Lon gueull ? frhe " France" announced a month ago their preparation to embark. LORD GLENELG.—" Our readers will, in the course of these remarks," says the Quarterly Review, in an article on the Canada question, " often have asked themselves how it can have happened that Lord Glenelg, a man educated in a school of high toryism, of good moral and strict religious principles, of gentle manners, of a lettered mind, and so essentially aristocratic in his personal feelings as to have— undistinguished by any one of the circumstances which usu ally lead to such an honour—slipped by some silent process into the House of Lords, and assumed a feudal title to which he had, we believe, the slenderest claims ; how such a man in England should be the favourer of democracy in Canada ? The answer is, that his lordship was no intentional favourer of democracy; but that the love of quiet, and the love of peace, operating on no very masculine understanding, made him what is vulgarly but expressively called the cat's paw of some stronger, or at least shre w d er , i n t e ll ec t, w hi c h di rec t e d to its own aims his lordship's frequently unconscious move ments." AUSTRALIA..—Persons acquainted with the colony of New South Wales twelve or fourteen years ago could not but re mark, at the present time, a great change in its aspect. This was, in a great measure, attributable to the number of re spectable persons who had arrived on its shores, bringing with them the moral restrictions and principles of their na tive land, thus infusing life through the body of the popula tion. The number of ministers who had come had also tended, in a remarkable degree, to a change which was con verting the land to a land of the living. Another cause was the establishment of schools for youth. The great propor tion of the inhabitants who, until within a few years, were given up to matters connected with their physical existence, now seemed more devoted to the cultivation of their moral faculties, to which good effect the press had, no doubt, by its influence, in some degree contributed.—Sydney Gazette, Oct. 6, 1838. RUSSIAN SPlES.—There are Russian ambassadors at some ' courts who employ spies in the house of the English minister, who can neither receive a friend nor give a dinner without the certainty that some of the servants will report every word that has passed on the occasion. Nor is it always to needy lackeys that these gentlemen trust for information. Persons who, from their profession and standing in society, ought to he above such treachery, are often dragged into this base traffic. No Englishman would stoop so low ; but there are foreigners, in English pay, who carry tales from the table they dine at. In addition to such auxiliaries, the Emperor has his regular hands as well as salaried scouts, men and women, Russian and native, in every capital of Europe, whose duty it is to ascertain the sentiments of the leading men towards Russia, and to keep the ambassador on the spot, or the political police at St. Petersburgh, acquainted with all that may concern the views or wishes of the Emperor.— Brenzner's Russia. ITALI AN BEA UTI E A.—l have nowhere beheld more beauti ful women than in three or four carriages at the evening drive on the Chiaja. I was peculiarly struck by the dazzling brilliancy of their complexions, a beauty which, I fancied, was denied to the inhabitants of this sunny clinic ; but the fairness of the ladies I have noticed could not be surpassed in London. The Duchess di Forli, one of the reigning belles of Naples, is a lovely woman, with hair dark as the raven's wing, and lustrous eye of nearly as deep a hue ; her com plexion is of a transparent fairness, and her lips are as crim son as the flower of the pomegranate. The Princess Tre cazi is another specimen of Neapolitan loveliness ; and the Princess Centplla might furnish a faultlecs model for r. Hebe, she is so fair, so youthful, and so exquisitely beautiful. The expressive countenance of Italian ladies strike those accus tomed only to the less demonstrative ones of English women with surprise. There is nothing of boldness in their physi ognomies. It is their mutable character, changing with every emotion, and the changes conveying to the beholder the ex pression of the feeling of which they are the visible sign, that strike one.—Lady Blessington's Idler in Italy. MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE CUTCHEES.—They are simple in their habits of life ; their common food is rice, parched grain, or a few vegetables, cooked with a little ghee, and eaten with cakes of coarse flour ; the better sort of peo ple sometimes indulge in curry and sweetmeats. They pro fess themselves water-drinkers, but are really addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, which they distil in all the v lieges from various vegetable productions. They drink also freely of toddy, which is procured in large quantities from the date and the cocoa-nut palm. Opium is prepared by them, and used, both as kusumba and in its simple state, in large quan tities. It seems less injurious, however, than the Turkish drug, and its effects are less perceptible. The men carry the opium in little boxes about their persons, and take it at all times. With this means of refreshment, they are capable of great fatigue, and can journey long and rapidly without food, smoking as they go, and stopping only for a draught of water from the numerous wells. The Cutchees appear to feel re spect for the European character, and are obliging in their intercourse with us. Amongst other notions of our supe riority, they believe us all to be astrologers and doctors. In both astrology and medicine, however, they have their adepts; and great men never hazard a journey without choosing a fa vourable conjunction of the planets for their departure. There are no fewer than 35 hakeems or medicos in the city of Bhooj ; but, unluckily for their fever patients, not one Sangrado amongst them all. In this strait the sufferers apply to a car penter, who has somewhere learned the art of phlebotomy, and operates on them with a phlegm. They are equally at a loss for dentists ; and the absence of a polished key is remedied by the use of a bent and rusty nail, urged against the offending tooth, by an unskilled practitioner. Not one of the sciences, either curious or useful, is known, even in its simplest elements, to these poor people ; yet they show a de sire for information, when one wiser than themselves excites their curiosity, which might, ably directed, prove a channel for their general improvement. As it is, they evince that simple result of ignorance so common in uncivilized minds, the confounding of great and small things with reference to the superior dignity of the former. The remains of many specimens of great beauty prove the Cutchees to have early possessed considerable proficiency in some of the arts, espe cially those of carving, sculpture, and design. I have already remarked on the deli ca t e s kill f the goldsmiths, armorers, and embroiderers ; and it is calculated to excite surprise, that. uninformed as the Cutchees are, and unacquainted, by reason of their local position, as they must be, which the arts prac tised in other more civilised provinces, they should yet prove such excellent workmen. A view, however, of the general policy of Indian rulers, which has its influence in Cutch as elsewhere, explains this apparent difficulty. It was orginally decreed, that only particular castes of men should practise particular arts, and that the exercise of these vocations should descend from generation to generation. In obedience to this law, the members of each family are trained to one art, in which they gain unusual expertness, and are enabled to pro duce articles of unequalled beauty.—Mrs. Postans's Sketches, USE OF GEOLOGY TO FARMERS.—One of the most ob vious sources of advantage to the farmer from an acquaintance with the distribution of mineral masses, is the facility with which in many instances the injurious effects of small springs coming to the surface may be obviated. The theory of the earth's internal drainage is so simple that every man of com mon sense would be able to drain his lands upon sure princi ples, or else to know precisely why it cannot be drained, if he were to become so much of a geologist as to learn what rocks existed under his land, at what depth, and in what position. Springs never issue from stratified masses, except from reservoirs somehow produced in jointed rocks, and at the level of the overflow of these subterranean cavities. Faults in the strata very frequently limit these reservoirs, and determine the points of efflux of the water. Let those faults be ascertained, or the edge of the pointed rock be found, and the cure of the evil is almost immediate. But some geological information is needed there ; and landed proprietors, who think it less troublesome to employ an agent than direct such a simple operation, may at least profit by this hint, and choose an agent who knows something of the rock he has to drain. Another thing, probably of importance to agriculturists, is the discovery of substances at small depths, which, if brought to the surface, would enrich, by a suitable mixture, the soil of their fields. This is very strongly insisted on by Sir H. Davy in his essays ; and considering how easy a thing it is for a landowner to ascertain positively the series of strata in his estate, it is somewhat marvellous that so few cases can be quoted, except that of Sir John Johnson, Bart., of Hack ness, near Scarborough, in which this easy work has been performed. Finally, in experiments for the introduction of new systems and modes of management, with repect to cattle and crops, it will be of great consequence to take notice of the qualities of the soil substrata and water, for these un doubtedly exercise a real and perhaps decisive influence over the result.—Lardner's Cyclopcedia. A RUSSIAN MASQUERADE.—About Christmas, masquer ades are much in vogue in Russia ; and even when an ordinary ball is given at this season, it is not unusual to place candles in the windows of the house as a signal that masks are admit ted without invitation. At the period to which this story refers, namely, the Christmas of 1834, a ball was given at a house at Petersburgh, which was mentioned, but I have for gotten the name of the owner ; and the ordinary signal was displayed for the admission of masks, several ofwhom arrived in the course of the evening, stayed a short time as usual, and departed. At length a party entered, dressed as Chinese, and bearing on a palanquin a person whom they called their chief, saying that it was his fete-day. They set him down very respectfully in the middle of the room, and commenced danc ing what they said was their national dance around him. When this was concluded, they separated, and mingled with the general company, speaking French very well, and making themselves extremely agreeable. After a while they began to gradually disappear unnoticed, slipping out of the room one or two at a time, till at last they were all gone, leaving their chief still sitting motionless in dignified silence in his palan quin in the middle of the room. The ball began to thin, and the attention of those who remained was wholly drawn to the grave figure of the Chinese mask. The master of the house at length went up to him, and told him that his companions were all gone ; politely begging him to take off his mask, that he and his guests might know to whom they were indebted for all the pleasure which the exhibition had afforded them. The Chinese, however, gave no reply by word or sign, and a feeling of uneasy curiosity gradually drew around him the guests who retnained in the ball-room. The silent figure still took no notice of all that was passing around him ; and the master of the house at length with his own hand took off the mask, and discovered to the horrified bystanders, the face of a corpse. The police were immediately sent for ; and on a surgical examination of the body, it appeared to be that of a man who had been strangled a few hours before. Nothing, however, could be discovered, either at the time or afterwards, which could lead to the identity of the murdered man, or the discovery of the actors in this extraordinary scence. It was found on inquiry that they arrived at the house where they deposited the dead body in a handsome equipage, with masked servants.—Venables' Domestic Scenes in Russia. WAKES.—Some deduce the wakes from the love feasts of the ancient Christians, or from the anniversary feast of dedi cation of the Jews ; others from earlier rites of Paganism. It seems, however, to have been ever customary in this island to keep a feast yearly on a certain day, in remembrance of the building of the parish church (the previous night being spent in watching and praying in the church—thence the name, wake) This custom, perhaps, originated in those temples of Pagan institution which were converted and consecrated to the use of the Christian church. Pope Gregory the Great ordained that the solemn anniversary of the dedication of such churches should be celebrated with religious feasts, kept in sheds or arbories, made up with branches and boughs of trees, round the said church. The assemblage of so many people could hardly take place without the store of refreshment gra dually increasing somewhat beyond what was absolutely ne cessary. The traffic increased and varied : pedlars, with their wares ; charlatans, with their powders, and charms of all sorts, and even plays, "acted by companies of strollers, composed of minstrels, mimics, dancers, jugglers, wrestlers, and tumblers," profaned the precincts of the holy edifice. But the disorders occasioned by all these entertainments very properly caused their removal from the church and church yard to the public and private houses around ; the church, however, being first repaired to for devotion, prayers, and offerings. The custom of wakes prevailed for many ages, till the Puritans exclaimed against it as the remnant of popery ; consequently orders were issued for their suppression, which caused Bishop Laud's interference on their behalf, and the certificates of near a hundred of the clergy in their favour, coupled with a petition on behalf of the people and them selves, that wakes might be continued ; therefore the king ordered that these feasts should be continued and observed. The modern wakes, as now held in the northern counties, arc merely a series of rustic merriment. The most attractive accompaniment of the modern wake is the rush cart ; an enormous house (so to speak) is formed entirely of rushes on the foundation of a farmer's cart ; it is of great height and bulk, finished off in form like the roof of a house, the rushes outside being woven in a variety of ingenious patterns, and ornamented and garlanded with flowers. The front is pro fusely ornamented with silver spoons, cups, tankards, &c. which arc freely lent and carefully returned. Triumphant on the top ride those leaders of the revel who are capable of sus taining such a dizzy elevation. Four or six majestic horses, in all the pomp of flowery decoration, draw the cart with be fitting dignity ; while its inseparable attendants, a band of morris-dancers, in grotesque livery, exhibit the last fading remnant of the remarkable dance, derived perhaps from the morisco of Spain, which was formerly so important a passage in the May festivities. The rush-cart, in its progress through the village, stops before the houses of the gentry ; the family appear to welcome it, the children to receive it with joyful shouts, and all is pleasure and hilarity. Even so late as the the time of Henry VIII. the aristocracy reposed on rushes, and the floors of the churches were strewed with them ; and on the day of the anniversary of the dedication, it was usual to bear a fresh supply for that purpose, whence the festival obtained the name of rush-bearing (a practice continued till within these very few years at the chapel of Unsworth, in Lancashire.) This use of the rushes is now superseded by carpets and soft cushions, and the ingenuity of succeeding times has converted them into the not inelegant pageant of the rush-cart. CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WORKS OF CREATION. — The investigations of modern philosophy have shown us the connection of the different sciences; bringing to light the links of the golden chain that runs through the universe, hinging element to element, and system to system. That which, in the infancy of knowledge, was presumed to be detached is found to be closely associated ; and that which was supposed to act independently, add within a contracted sphere, has been discovered to be in union or affinity with other and unsuspected regions of nature,—operating on other and sometimes far distant elements, by secret impulses or silent combinations, that present themselves in new forms and modifications. It is probable, reasoning from analogy, that these remote associations lie much deeper, and extend much wider into nature than we have even yet been taught to imagine. It is certain, that the further we go, the simpler become the elements of science, and the more curious and more obvious their combinations. Many complexities have already, in the progress of knowledge, been reduced to sim plicity ; and many distant departments, as they were once deemed, of general science have been shown in connection ; so that, in the case of language, the investigations of etymology exhibit a few words, or it may be only one, as the radix of uni versal speech, the inquiries of philosophy tend more and more to point to a few, and very few, simple principles, as the source of all science—the root of the tree of universal knowledge. We may, therefore, approximate this general truth, which partakes at once of a moral and philosophical discovery, that there is in the works of Deity at once infinite diversity and magnificence in their unfolding, and infinite simplicity in their element and origin. —Eclectic Review for April. THE SKY LARK.—Notwithstanding the general attention which this voice of the spring, both of the year and the morn ing, has received, and notwithstanding all that has been writ ten concerning it, in prose or in verse, there is something so exhilarating in the song of the lark, and it is so completely identified with the important labours of the field, and the happy homes of rustic life, that one never tires of hearing it. The earliest note which charms the ear of the infant, NI hen it is old enough to observe, and taken out to inhale strength from the fresh air of the morning, is the song of the lark ; and the worn-out rustic, who is unable to contend long er with the variable weather of the spring, takes his last fare well of nature in the song of this interesting bird. Its soaring aloft till it seems but a little brown speck against the blue dome of the sky, or its total disappearance in that magnificent expanse, while the notes of its song of invitation continue to thrill sweetly on the ear, impart a train of thought which it is not easy to commit to writing. The slow and solemn Sabbath morning walk, which a man of right mind often takes in order to commune with his own heart, and prepare him for drawing near to his God, in the place appointed for solemn worship, is certainly improved by the song of this bird, which though it differs not on one day in itself from what it is on another, yet brings home to the mind the particular object on which it is bent at the time. As a herald of the spring, there is a certainty about the lark which can hardly be predicted of any other songster of the early season : for, though there may be an occasional song of this bird from a small height, upon one of those fine days wherewith a lingering winter is not unfrequently spotted, yet when the lark mounts to the top of flight, and swells his song to the full power of his voice, one may rest assured that the spring has indeed arrived; and that any relapse into winter, which occurs after this, will not be either severe or of long duration.—Mudie's British Birds. FREEDOM OF NEAPOLITAN WOMEN FROM VANITY AND SCANDAL.—I have nowhere witnessed such a perfect freedom from vanity or coquetry as among the women here : scandal and slander are vices unknown to them ; and they consider an indnisonoc in thorn oo indieuti L.d heart, that they carefully avoid those who give way to this baneful propensity. I have frequently been asked, " Why do the English people tell such ill-natured stories of each other ? If founded in truth, they ought, from a patriotic feeling, to be concealed from the inhabitants of other nations ; and, if untrue, how dreadful to propagate them ! But the English seem to relate such tales with a spiteful pleasure rather than with regret for the crimes they disclose." Such was the observation of a Neapolitan woman of high rank and cultivated mind, ad dressed to me a few days ago ; and sorry was I to lnd, that this besetting sin of my compatriots, the love of scandal, was so well known wherever they sojourn.—Lady Blessinyton's Idler in Italy. BRIDAL FEELINGS.—The entire change of character ef fected by the ceremony which had so recently been per formed, the entire alteration of the duties of life produced by the sacred rite, the vast futurity opening to her view, so dif ferent in its nature from the days that were passed ; the en tire surrender of herself to an authority which the day before she did not acknowledge, and the abandonment, to a certain extent, of that exclusive obedience which a few hours previ ously she implicitly yielded to her father ; the whole combi nation of circumstances, the balance between perfect happi ness and something less than happiness, the apprehension, the doubt, the dread, the joy, the sorrow—for they all mingle in the heart of a bride at the moment when she hears the carriage door close upon herself and her husband, and finds herself, for the first time in her life, confided to the care, the protection, and the love of an alien to her blood. Helen deeply and intensely felt ; and the pang which rent her heart as she received her fond father's partingkiss, the last of those kisses of devoted affection which were hers while she alone was all his care, and while she had none other to look to or to love but him, was one of the bitterest she had ever endured. It seemed like the tearing asunder of a thousand tender ties, the abandonment of home, and all its associations.—Hook's Births, Deaths, and Marriages. IMPROVEMENT OF IRISH BACON.—The shoulders of Irish bacon may often be bought very cheap, and, as it is not very well cured, the following method will make it like ham : wash it well in hot water ; when quite clean, let it lie in cold water five or six days, then rub it well with this mixture, 1 lb. of sugar, I lb. of salt, and 1 oz. of saltpetre, turning it and washing it well with the liquor for three or more weeks.— The backs of very fat sheep may be salted and smoked to great advantage, and will keep a long time ; so may very fat parts of beef, but not lean.—Labourer's Friend. GEESE.—Geese can be kept to advantage only where there are commons ; there they are very hardy, long-lived, and pro fitable to their owners. If well kept, a goose will lay one hundred eggs in the year. Water to swim in is quite unne cessary. You may put four or five of the eggs under a hen, or nine or ten under a hen turkey ; but if under the goose herself, you must feed her well, and regularly, at or near the nest. The young ones should be kept, the first four days in a warm place, and fed on barley-meal, mixed, if possible, with milk ; then they will begin to graze. When you fatten them, give them some sort of corn, Swedish turnips, boiled or raw, with corn, carrots, white cabbages, or lettuces. — Labourer's Friend. ELLISTON ACTING KING.—The nightly greetings which the mimic monarch received, the burst of loyalty that hailed the placing of his foil-stone crown upon his managerial head, by the Right Rev. Mr. Gattie, who personated his Grace the Metropolitan Archbishop, sunk deeply into the heart of the romantic and susceptible Robert William : he could not re sist fancying himself the being he personated. This innocent mono mania was soon talked of out of the theatre : one even ing some men I knew were determined to ascertain its extent. They went into the pit : their cheers were long and loud when the royal form first came in view, every graceful action was rewarded with an approving shout. When he knelt at the faldstool tbey imposed silence on the audience ; but, when he crossed the pit, they clun ,,, to the hem of his robe, and en thusiastically uttered, " Long live your Majesty !" Overcome by such symptoms of devotion, King Robert, extending his arms over their heads, articulated through tears, "Bless you, my people !"—Benson Hill's Home Service. A NEW KIND OF CANDLES.—There is a new method of making candies, which perhaps few of our readers have heard of. The object of the manufacturers is to make tallow can dles resemble wax candles, both in appearance and burning ; and this they accomplish in a surprisingly successful manner. The process employed co transform the tallow into a sub stance like white wax, is very ingenious. It consists of various operations of boiling and purifying, which we do not consider ourselves at liberty to describe ; and, at a certain stage, the tallow is run into moulds, so as to form cakes of about an inch in thickness, and a foot or two in length or breadth. These cakes, when cool, are piled one above another, but with a layer of coarse mats between, to keep the cakes from sticking to each other. The pile cakes, thus interspersed with mats, is next put into a press of enormous power ; and pressure being applied, a dark yellow oil is squeezed from the cakes. No screw-press can give force suf ficient for this operation ; a hydraulic press is used, wrought by a steam engine, and the oil is seen pouring down the sides of the pile, and running away in troughs at the bottom. After the oil has been sufficiently expelled, the cakes are taken out, and they seem as hard as a piece of board ; in short, the tallow has been waxified, and has lost both the smell and taste of grease. The cakes are now ready to be melted and run into candle moulds in the usual manner ; but something else is wanting to complete the process. The wicks consist of three strands of cotton plaited together, and upon these the candles are moulded. The plaiting of the wicks is of much importance. In common tallow candles it is observed, that the wick in burning stands up in the centre of the flame, and, therefore, weakens the light. Snuffing remedies this evil, though only for a minute or two, and snuffing is a serious annoyance. When the wicks are plaited they do not stand up in the flame. As the candle consumes, the burnt wick curls aside out of the flame, and presents a nose to the atmosphere by which the substance of the wick is dispersed, without any snuffing, as in the case of wax can dles. So close indeed is the resemblance which these com pressed tallow candles have to those of wax, that no nerson, without careful examination, could discover the difference, while they :are only about one-half the price. It was a Frenchman, we believe, who discovered the process of making candles on this principle ; but it has been brought to perfection only by English capital and perseverance. At the large establishment of Messrs. Edward Price & Co., at Vaux hall, which we lately visited, candles are now made accord ing to this ingenious process of manufacture, to an incon ceivably large amount ; and, though far inferior in brilliancy of light to our own beautiful gas, they are, unquestionably, a great improvement on the old kind of tallow candles, which, indeed, they must entirely supersede in warm climates. —Chambers's Journal. THE NAVAL POSITION OF ENGLAND. (From the Morning Herald,) There has just been published by Hatchard, a pam phlet, intitled "England in 1839, with particular re ference to her Naval and Diplomatic Position." This little work is written with clearness and vigour. Its author brings to the questions which he discusses a large measure of the requisite knowledge ; and he urges with great earnestness upon the country certain views of its actual position—views which cannot, at the pre sent crisis, be too closely contemplated. The pamphlet in question might be intitled " an exposition of the treasons of Lord Palmerston." The catalogue is absolutely startling; whilst the success of the author in substantiating the charges which he pre fers against the Foreign Secretary is only too complete. In discussing the question "why England has not been attacked," by hostile foreign powers, the writer sug gests the true answer in the following passage : " The pacification of the east and west, according to the terms of the treaty of July, 1827, between England, France, and Russia, and of the convention between England and the United States, closing the disputed boundary question, must have been irrevocably secured, but for the perversion, by Lord Palmerston, in the first year of his employment, of both those treaties, to the realisation of the very evils which they were expressly framed to counteract, thus laying the foundation of the aggressive designs of Russia, France, and the United States, against England, which, but for the sup port of a British minister to the policy of Russia, they pro bably would never have dreamt of. " From that hour, the friendship, the alliance, the moral, diplomatic, naval, military, and financial means of England, have been lent to foreign states against herself—the diplo macy and influence of foreign states lent in return, to support a British minister against his deceived and betrayed country. `•Had you been - at war with all the world, or with any single foreign enemy, could your present position have been realised ? SELECT EXTRACTS. METHOD OF IMPARTING A YELLOW TINGE AND SUM MER GRASS FLAVOUR TO WINTER BUTTER.—The follow ing method of making butter has been found to be a great improvement :—Grate 4 oz. of the best scarlet carrot, and pour some boiling water on it the evening before churning in the morning, strain this off, and pour the liquid into 42 quarts of cream. This prevents the butter from becoming hard (as is generally the case in winter) at the same time imparting to it the yellow tinge, awl the richness and flavo r which the summer grass gives it. It may also be applied to cheese. The injudicious application of carrot in butter made to retail in small quantities has given rise to much complaint on the part of the purchasers ; but, by reducing the quantity in proportion to the cream, in the above ratio, a decided im provement in the tinge and flavour will be imparted.—Larne's Literary and Agricultural Journal. ANECDOTE OF DANIEL WEBSTER.—DanieI Webster was a farmer's boy, in the state of New Hampshire, whom his father had to rebuke for his absent-mindedness, so much like a scholar, and scold him to his task in the field. 'Whereupon Daniel said, " Father, my scythe hangs badly*" His father endeavoured to fix it ; but still the boy complained that it was not right. " Hang it yourself, then," said the father. Daniel smiled, walked off with an arch look directed to his father, hung his scythe on a tree, and said, " There, father, it hangs to suit me now." And the father sent Daniel to Exeter Academy, and next to Dartmouth University. What Daniel Webster is now the world is sufficiently advised.—A Voice from America to England. CLASSIFICATION OF INSANITY.—EngIish medical writers are not disposed to admit moral insanity as a distinct class ; neither was Esquirol, in the first instance ; but in his note, Mononzanie Homocide, he avows having met with it in seve ral cases, and concedes to it a separate character. The fol lowing are its characteristics, as developed by Dr. Pritchard : —lst. Acts of homicide, &c., are generally preceded by the other striking peculiarities of conduct in these individuals. 2d. The same individuals have expressed a wish for death ; have attempted to commit suicide; and have begged to be executed as criminals. 3d. They act without motive. 4th. The imprudence, nay, the stupefaction, of their subsequent conduct, is conclusive of their state. sth. They seldom have accomplices. Under this head, also, is included that irresis tible impulse to do much mischief and commit injury which is sometimes to be observed, and many cases also of suicide. In France Esquirol, Broussais, Orfila, Andrei, Mare, Gurget, Michu are all believers in the distinctiveness of moral in sanity as a class of madness ; Regnault and Collard de Mar tigny, on the other hand, advocates of eminence, have opposed it in their writings. Their reasonings from the effects of de bauchery, bad education, and early habits of cruelty to ani mals, or of tyranny to playmates, will easily suggest them selves to the reader ; and they put forth one remark Which will satisfy every lawyer, that the doctrine of moral insanity can never be made available in an English criminal court : it is this, that, were the doctrine admitted, fne criminal act itself would be deemed the material proof of the insanity.— Law Magazine.
