Vottrp. TIME AND ETERNITY. Where are the hours of childhood, — Of youth's bright sunny day, — The fairy promises of hope ? All, all are fled away ! 'Twas but a cloud whose brightness The sun had tinged with gold ; 'Tis past—'tis bright to others, still Here all is dark and cold. Where are the joys of manhood, Of fame's bewitching voice. The sunny eye, the smile of love, That bade the heart rejoice? Where is ambition's giddy dance ? Where pleasure's sparkling bowl ? Fled, faded, false, or vainly sought To satisfy the soul. And is this life then merely On Time's bright page a blot ? The name a stain, soon, soon eras'd And Non to be forgot? No ! though my fame and fortune Here find their living tomb, One radient smile of light from heav'n Shall dissipate the gloom. What though time's fleeting records Be silent, if for me The Book of Life my name contain, Throughout Eternity ? Where all that's truly blissful As time rolls on, ere yet We can but look on it as past, We only can regret. Shall join at once the rapture, Of that unending day, When earth and all its vanities Are gone and fled away. The innocence of childhood, A never fading youth, An angel mind to contemplate The mighty Book of Truth, A crown of glory, white robes, Wash'd in a Saviour's blood; And, highest of all heavenly joys, The presence of my God. J. H. M. A LONELY THOUGHT. When moonlight trembles on the deep, And winds have sigh'd themselves to sleep, When all is solemn stillness, save The eternal plashing of the wave, As softly o'er the mournful breast Its cadence lulls to placid rest The fret, the grief, and all that we Endure from life's perplexity ; Like sacred oil that heals in part The eternal ulcer of the heart, Or mild affections tears that lave Some treasured sleeper of the grave ; Oh ! then, from moments such, we steal The heaven the soul may only feel, The long, half-unremembered scene Of what we are, and what have been, The sadly sweet, endearing past, The light of other days—the last— Worth all the rest of life !—that we Left buried in our infancy : To mourn the ills existence hath, The faded flowers upon its path, And shed the tear that pride hath borne, Dried up in worldly care and scorn ; Oh ! then, to mingle with the sky, The waves, the stars, the.orbs on high, The essence of that life, which given In virgin purity from heaven, Deflower'd, alas ! as o'er its birth Had swept the tainted blast of earth ; To feel for one sweet moment there, The truth, unchanged, of what we are, To bless it, and to hear the word — The mild response of nature's God — That o'er the half-repentant soul Would harmonise with praise the whole, And draw from its polluted stain The heart to goodness back again, And rivet its affections there To things so undefiled and fair, Which then we feel whilst yet we live What Heaven hath given and still will give. Manchester, 1839. G. W. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE AMERICAN BOUNDARY LINE. (From the Times.) Lord Palmerston has been interrogated more than once, or twice, or a dozen times, within the course of as many years, touching the state of the New Bruns wick boundary quarrel, and as often, with that smirk which is peculiar to his lordship, and which conveys a sneer more plainly than a reply, has left the questioner to his own imaginings from utter despair of getting anything out of his lordship more satisfactory than " I don't choose to tell you—ask some other time." That other time has often come, and has now gone, we are apprehensive, not to come again. When Lord Palmerston stupidly, or flippantly and carelessly, acquiesced in the rejection by the United States' government of the judgment pronounced by the King of Holland, to whose arbitrament the whole question had been absolutely and finally referred on the part as well of the republic as of Great Britain, the result might easily have been foreseen. The duty of Lord Palmerston was to have urged the finality of that adjudication, which the litigating powers had re served to themselves no right or power to repudiate, and which, although it actually stripped Great Britain of more than one-half of the disputed land, was at least an intelligible settlement, assigning for a large portion of the boundary line the course of the St. John's River, and leaving in the-hands of Great Bri- tarn that which has been throughout the object of highest consideration with her government—namely, the most practicable and convenient route between Fredericton and the St. Lawrence. The haste, however, with which the senate of the United States, and, in imitation of their eagerness, the government of Washington, declared the decision of the King of Holland to be " inadmissible," must have opened the eyes of any Englishman who was not de termined to keep them shut to the real, though unac knowledged, views of the republicans, and have satis fied Lord Palmerston that he must proceed with all despatch to a formal and irrevocable arrangement of the question, by amicable, but active and dili g ent, ne gotiation; or provide for the other and moredistress ing, but, in such circumstances, unavoidable alterna tive, of maintaining the just pretensions of his country by her armed power. Lord Palmerston appears to have demeaned himself as if no such contingencies lay before him. He gave in to the rejection of the arrangement made by the King of Holland without betraying the slightest con sciousness that any other adjustment of a difference in itself so serious would be required by the United States from this country, or by England at the hands of her foreign minister. He did not merely fall asleep at his post, but never dreamed of splicing by a renewed ne gotiation the settlement which his own folly had suf fered the United States to break off. So far as our recollection carries us, his cool and easy treatment of the question was equivalent to this :—" The United States have flung back the King of Holland's propo sition; it is now for them to make theirs." Why, theirs was from the beginning precisely this :—" We want the whole of the disputed territory, and we will have i too." • , Out, as Lord Palmerston made no movement to „wank st- peaceful issue of this misunderstanding, so iviorlie equally careful that for an opposite issue Eng land 'should be totally unprepared. The Americans took care that the success of their own, policy should depend on their own will, not on the mercy of their rivals. The rebellion in Canada, and the war of " sympa thy," have been godsends to Gov. Fairfield and his " lumberers," who will thus have powerful diversions in their favour. Large lots of the soil of Upper Cana da were long since said to have been sold by that ex emplary patriot, Makenzie, as payment in advance for the personal exploits of all sympathizing riflemen who, in the cause of freedom, should cross the frontier and liberate the Queen of England's Canadian subjects from the yoke of cultivating their own lands and reaping their own harvests. Lord :Palmerston told Sir Stratford Canning, the other night, that he could not say whether or not the negotiation respecting the boundary would have a suc cessful issue ! Vastly consoling this : but he was "jus tifiAd in stating that the cabinet of Washington had the most friendly sentiments towards this country." Vastly encouraging indeed ! But if the cabinet of Wallington should either willingly or by compulsion hatipen to support the State of Maine in its armed ag =ton upon the crown and people .of England, will Palmerston please to inform us how much Mr. Via Buren's "friendly sentiments" are worth in the public market ? We deprecate war. We dread it for the sake of hu manity, for the sake of North America, beyond all, for the sake of Engl an d w hi c h mus t d ear ly suffer. But there is such a thing as driving a great country, how ever temperate, and tolerant, and pacific, into war, just as it is possible for the best matured and benevolent man in the world to be forced by indignity into a pri vate quarrel. England can do no more towards avoid ing war than to abstain from offering injustice. If she suffers wrong tamely, then is she unjust to herself and to posterity; for she invites thereby, and will in evitably have to endure, a repitition and a variety of insults. If both governments be wise, they cannot go on to bloodshed. But the wise and just may, by the foolish and unprincipled, be compelled, and dragged, and trampled, and spurned into a conflict. In that case the responsibility is not divided, because the crime is altogether unilateral. It is the simple case of a wan ton oppressor, and an unwilling and unoffending If England be kicked into a war unprepartd, the responsibility for so terrible a disaster though not shared between her and the United States, inasmuch as she, as a na ti on , mus t b e exonera t e d, w ill fall heavi ly between the United States and the British govern= meat, which has left its country unprotected. For such a government there can be no forgiveness, nor any punishment severe enough for its enormous treason. THE ANTI-CORN-laW CONSPIRACY. (From the Morniug Herald.) The anti-corn-law conspirators, and their confede rates in Downing-street, have been signally discomfited. Their arguments have been cut up by the roots—their appeals to " the masses" have been treated with scorn. The parliamentary divisions on the corn law question are the appropriate conclusion to their attempt to bully or cajole the legislature into an abandonment of all the remaining protections to English industry. Let it not, however, be imagined that the millowners will abandon their design of extending the power of money at the expense of the land, and of the rights of labour. There is but one mode cf paralysing their machinations. The labouring poor must be emanci pated from their state of helpless dependence on the class of manufacturing capitalists. Machinery must be deprived of its power to rob the poor producer of the fair value of his toil. A tax on mechanical means of production would uproot the factory system, elevate the order of labourers in the scale of society, and se cure to agriculture that predominance in the system of our industrial arrangements, which agriculture ought always to occupy. A tax on machinery would reduce our bloated millowners to more modest dimensions, and supply them with more honest employment than they now create for themselves by their anti-agricultural schemes. Amongst the parliamentary tools of the millowners, during their recent crusade against agriculture, Mr. O'Connell, of course, held a place. That worthy per sonage demanded a repeal of the corn laws, on the ground that Ireland would gain by a change that, if carried into effect, must throw out of employment a large portion of the population of that country. Mr. O'Connell's motives in this matter lie on the zsarface. A repeal of the corn laws would ruin the landowners and farmers of England—subvert the esta blished church—and render the collection of the na tional revenue impossible. If, however, the customary revenue could not be collected, the fleets and armies of England could not be maintained ; and if, again, a large armed force could not be kept on foot in Ireland, that country would be openly seized upon by the popish faction. The Protestant race would be extirminated. The soil would be reclaimed by the Saxon-hating fol lowers of Mr O'Connell. ; and the triumph of Irish popery would be complete ! Mr. O'Connell's avowed reasons for advocating a repeal of the corn laws are curious enough, The pri vilege of raising corn for the English market has been, according to Mr. O'Connell, of no advantage to Ire land ! There, wages are still wretchedly low—and there immense numbers of the poor still want employ ment ! The answer to these statements is obvious enough. In Ireland, wages have not been sustained by the in fluence of a system of poor laws ; whilst on the other hand, the treasonable agitation of centuries has exer .cised a fearful influence in narrowing the demand for Irish labour. The english corn laws by creating in Ireland the most important trade of which that country can boast, have not been altogether without effect in lessening the miseries which have been generated by popish treasons, and by the absence of a poor law. SELECT EXTRACTS. That the value of rents will increase as the science of agri culture progresses, is but a natural consequence : still, if the occupier increases his produce by such means, he injures not the consumer by letting his landlord participate of it. But I do not think it is fair to charge landlords t generally, wiih the attempt to restore the price of wheat to war prices, or to perpetuate proportionably high rents in time of peace. It is, indeed, scarcely reasonable to expect them to reduce their rents to the prices before the war, unless the burthens im posed upon them by tire expenses of it are, to a greater ex tent, removed. The multitude are not aware of the expenses attending the possession of landed property. I was once shown, by a large proprietor in North Wales, a statement of the expenses on his estates, in repairs, agencies, &c., during one year, which amounted to the immense sum of £13,000 ! This goes far to verify what the late Duchess of Gordon said to a person who was magnifying the resources of her husband. " Ali!" observed her grace, " you are little aware how a large estate spends itself."—Nimrod on the Corn Laws. SCENERY OF SWEDEN.—The ash, the black poplar, and the plane, begin to relieve the landscape from the pointed out line of fir tops against the sky, although in all Swedish sce nery the latter are the characteristic feature. Every country seems to have a scenery peculiar to itself ; at least people distinctly recognise an Italian, a Dutch, a Highland, an English landscape. The characteristic features in a Swedish would be, this long, jagged, sky line of fir tops, a little lake in the bottom enveloped in woods, and at one end a little lively green spot of cultivation, studded with grey masses of rocks and grey houses:of about the shape and size. The coun try being flat comparatively, its streams have not the same run or liveliness, nor its breaks the same abruptness as in our highlands, or in Wales, or Norway. Ruysdal's pictures would find fewer prototypes than Kuyp's in Sweden. The soft wooded scenery of these lakes, with the distant points and islands swimminc , between the air and water, remind you much of Kuyp's style e of landscapes.—Laing's Sweden. LORD STANLEY.—Lord Stanley is entitled to be styled an orator. Till the last session, an acerbity of tone, a virulence of manner. and unbecoming displays of temper, have marked the noble lord's public speeches, whether delivered as a mem ber of the government, or from the opposition benches ; and these bad qualities alone have prevented his taking that sta tion among modern orators to which he last session, by the correction of former faults, proved himself to be worthy. As a debater he has always been formidable ; his readiness of per ception, the quickness with which he seizes the weakest parts in the arguments of his opponents, his happy method of re turning taunts levelled against himself, and the general ele gance of his language, added to the fluency with which he de livers himself, have long rendered him a valuable acquisition in the discussions of the house. In his appeals to the feel ings he is most powerful, and in his complete overthrow of the particular opponent whom he selects, he is unequalled.— Dublin Review. England's transmarine possessions are thus stated by Mr. Montgomery Martin. :—The colonies of the British empire have an area of 2,200,000 square miles, and a sea-coast of 20,000 nautical miles. Population 105,000,000, with an aver age of 50 mouths to the square mile ; of Lutherans and Cal vinists there are 800,000; of Dissenters 700,000 ; of Roman Catholics, Greeks, Syrians, &c., 1,500,000 ; of Mahomedans 26,000,000 ; of Hindoos 75,000,000. The military strength employed is 56,000 Europeans regulars ; 156,000 colonial (coloured) regulars ; and 250,000 colonial militia (whites.) The colonial revenues amount to £23,000,000 sterling ; the civil and convict expenses defrayed by Great Britain to 225,000 ; the military to £1,800,000, and the total expendi ture of the colonies is therefore £25,000,000 sterling per annum. The taxation averages 4s. 6d per head. The me tallic money circulating in the colonies is about £5,000,000, and the paper money about £3,000,000. Maritime Commerce of the Colonies—Exports £30,000,000 ; imports £25,000,000. To Great Britain, exports £15,000,000 ; imports £10,000,000. Total shipping annually in and out of colonial ports 8,000,000 tons, of which there are to and from Great Britain 3,000,000 tons. Vessels built in the colony from 1814 to 1837—Num ber 8,975 ; tonnage ,022,937. The property annually created in the colonies is estimated at £400,000,000, and the value of the property, moveable and immoveable, in the transmarine possessions of the empire, in land, houses, stock. &c„ at £2,500,000,000 sterling. THE WHITE BREED OF CATTLE AT HAMILTON.—The bulls are seldom ill-natured, but when they are so they dis play a disposition more than ordinary savage, cunning, per tinacious, and revengeful. A poor bird-catcher, when ex ercising his vocation among the " Old Oaks," as the park is familiarly called, chanced to be attacked by a savage bull. By great exertion he gained a tree before his antagonist made up to him. Here he had occasion to observe the habits of the animal. It did not roar or bellow, but merely grunted, the whole body quivered with passion and savage rage, and he frequently attacked the tree with his head and hoofs.— Finding all to no purpose, he left off the vain attempt, began to browse, and removed to some distance from the tree. The bird-catcher tried to descend, but this watchful Cerberus was again at his post ; and it was not till after six hours' impri sonment, and various bouts at " bo-peep" that the unfortu nate man was relieved by some shepherds with their dogs. A writer's apprentice, who had been at the village of Quarter on business, and who returned by the " Oaks" as a " nearhand cut," was also sadly beleagured by one of these savage brutes. He was attacked in a summer evening near the northern extremity of the forest, was fortunate, however, in getting into a tree, but was watched by the bull, and kept there during the whole of the night, and till near two o'clock next day.—Rev. TV. Patrick, in the Quarterly Journal of Agri culture. ORIENTAL EASE.—The day of a rich Turk, or of one un encumbered by the toils of manual labour, is nearly as follows : —He rises before day-light to pray ; takes a water-pipe or argale ; afterwards smokes ten or a dozen common pipes, with at least twenty cups of coffee ; dinner is served about ten, and consists of a great variety of dishes : he will then sit and smoke till six, when he sleeps, and at the close of day retires to his harem, which is a house apart from his own — for Turks and their wives have separate residences—or else go home to his own bed. Nothing can be more monotonous than ouch a life : but in this part of the empire, to those seated at balconies all day, the beauty of the scenery and the everchanging crowds of passengers beguile its tediousness. The Turks never breakfast. Their usual dinner is soup, then roast meat, then vegetables mixed with meat, and during the time of serving they eat sweets of preserved apples, quin ces, and fruit jellies ; also meat and almond patties ; after wards come fowls, stuffed turkeys, fish, everything swimming in butter : at the end of dinner the indispensible dish of rice or pilau appears. Properly speaking, no dessert is taken, but the Turks eat fruit, sallad, and sweet things during their repast, which ended, they wash their hands, as knives and forks are unknown, light their pipes, and take coffee. Sup per is a repetition of dinner ; water is their beverage, some times sherbet, or water and juice of preserved fruit mixed. Hoshab consists of fruit stewed and served in the juice ; amongst the rich eaten as a dessert, being served after din ner. It appears in a large glass vase, and each guest helps himself. Great care is taken that no bread be trodden under foot ; the aliments of men are sacred ; a Turk would not slay an enemy if he surprised him drinking water.—The Shores of the Mediterranean. By Frank Hall Standish, Esq. AMUSING ACCOUNT OF JOHN KEMBLE'S MARRIAGE One evening Mrs. Brereton addressed Mrs. Hopkins : "My dear mother," she said, " I cannot guess what Mr. Kemble means ; he passed me just now, going up to his dressing room, and chucking me under the chin, said, ' Ha, Pop ! I should not wonder if you were soon to hear of something very much to your advantage.' What could he mean ? ' "Mean !" the sensible mother answered, "why he means to propose marriage ; and, if lie does, I advise you not to refuse him, you will not meet with a better offer." Thus the matrimonial galley was launched ; and the voyage proceeded rapidly, merrily, and to a joyous conclusion, although not unmarked with some peculiar circumstances. When the lady's consent was obtained, and the happy day fixed, Mr. Kemble was living purely en garcon, the elegancies of female life never thought on, in a lodging in Caroline-street, Bed ford Square. His intimacy with Jack Bannister, and the true regard he felt for him, rendered it natural and easy to request Mr. Bannister's attendance at the ceremony. This was readily agreed to ; and on the appointed morning, the Bth of December, Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Brereton presenting themselves at Mr. Bannister's abode in Frith-street, they all repaired to the bridegroom's dwelling. Whether he had been late over-night, or whether, "dreaming of golden joys," he had been unwilling to shorten his morning slumber, certain it is, that when the ladies arrived, there was not the slightest sign of preparation for breakfast. A number—they could not be termed a set—of tea things at length appeared, the meal was discussed, the parties reached the church in proper time, and the ceremony was completed by an intimate friend of Kemble, the well known parson Este. They were departing in separate coaches, the gentlemen in one, the ladies in another, when Mrs. Bannister said, "As you do not seem to have made any preparations, suppose you dine with us ; but as both Mrs. Kemble and Mr. Bannister play to-night, the dinner must be early and punctual." This good natured and considerate offer was readily accepted ; the ladies went to Frith-street, and having waited to the utmost extremity of time, were obliged to dine without the newly married man. Bannister and Mrs. Kemble had departed before his arrival ; dinner was served up again, and at a proper hour Mrs. Ban nister left him to his wine, expecting continually that he would appear at the tea table, at last he did come, but not until it was full time that he should escort his wife home from the theatre. Thither he repaired in a hackney-coach ; his wife popped in, and from that moment was installed mistress of a new abode.—Adolphus's Memoirs of John Bannister. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION LECTURES ON ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. On Saturday evening, R. H. Brett, Esq., delivered the third of his interesting lectures to a full audience. In the last lecture I concluded the consideration of those substances which belong to the 'acid and basic classes of vege table proximate principles. lam now about to consider the next division of our subject. namely, those vegetable princi ples which, possessing neither an acid nor basic property, come under the denomination of neutral substances. The vegetable principles occur very abundantly in all plants, and; like the acid and basic substances to which . I before alluded, are constituted for the most part of carbon, °Viten, and hy drogen. They may be considered as essentially consisting of starch, sugar, and gum, and these three principles are cha racteris'ed by their possessing no properties which belong either to acids or to bases. Besides these substances which occur naturally in plants, we have other neutral bodies of artificial production, and hence we naturally divide the neu tral bodies of vegetable origin into those which are natural and those which are artificial ; in other words, into those which occur ready formed in plants and those which we forth by the action of certain substances upon organic principles. Amongst those which occur ready formed, as i have before stated, starch, sugar, and gum stand in the first rank. The first of these three substances is one 'of the most abundant proximate principles met with hi vegetable substances. It occurs in almost every trait of the plant ; we,meet with it in the root, the stem, 'and we also meet with it in the fruit. All those plants which belong to the natural order of the grasses, contain in the fruit a very large quantity of starch. All the esculent varieties contain a very large quantity of it. It is met with in many of the plants belonging to the palm tribe ; and in many of the tuberose roots starch is also abun dant. The most fruitful source of this substance, however, , is wheat ; a very large portion being obtained also from the ordinary potato. The mode in which it is separated from wheat is somewhat complicated. It is found associated in wheat with another proximate principle eallod gluten. To separate it from this substance, it 18 macerated in water, after the grain has been bruised. A peculiar process or spe cies of fermentation take§ place, by which the gluten under- - goes solution, in consequence of the formation of acid, in which it is soluble, and is washed out with water. By the same mode starch may be obtained from the ordinary potato. This substance, as met with in commerce, is formed in co lumnar masses, and instead of possessing the siriking white character which belongs to pure starch, has more or less of a blue tinge, in consequence of its being coloured with the blue colouring matter called smelt. Starch, when perfectly pure, is, as I observed, white. It is insoluble in cold water and in spirits of wine, but it is soluble in hot water. In this it differs from gum, which is soluble in cold water. One of the most striking properties belonging to starch is the peculiar blue colour which it is capable of producing, when brought into contact with the simple substance iodine. If we take a solution of starch, and add to it some of the simple element called iodine, we shall obtain a deep blue co lour. This peculiar action of iodine upon starch is sufficient to distinguish starch from any other proximate principle of vegetable or animal origin. lodine combines with starch, and forms what is called an iodide of starch, which substance possesses somewhat peculiar properties. When exposed for any very great length of time to the atmosphere the blue co lour is entirely discharged, and a white or whitish brown re sidue is obtained. This change is not owing to the mere loss of its iodine, because we find upon the addition of an acid to the white or whitish brown substance that the blue colour is restored. And it is found that the reason why the starch loses its blue colour is, because the iodide of ammonia is formed, which is not capable of producing a blue colour with starch. It may be stated, that when iodine is combined with any alkali or base, it is incapable of forming a blue colour with the proximate principle of starch. Here we have the iodide of potassium, which is incapable of producing a blue colour with starch, but if I can set the potassium free, the iodine will unite with the starch. This characteristic is very important to the detection of starch. We shall find upon the application of a moderate heat to this flask that a gas will be evolved, which will cause the liquid in the jar to be come blue. The rationale of this experiment is the follow ing. In the flask I have the ingredients for generating chlo rine. Chlorine, as you are aware, is a simple substance of a gaseous nature, which has a very strong affinity for the sub stance:with which the iodine was combined in the jar, namely, the potassium. It unites with it, and sets the iodine free. The iodine being released, immediately acts upon the starch and renders it blue. This may be considered as the most striking chemical characteristic belonging to starch, but there are several physical circumstances connected with it which it will be necessary to mention. Starch is not a simple homo geneous substance like sugar, buf constituted of a number of small vesicles, which, when examined under the microscope, assume the appearance of small ovoid masses. They are made up of integumentous substances, not soluble in water, which contain the true starch or amidon, and it is this latter principle which causes the blue colour with iodine.. Starch suffers a peculiar change when subjected to the action of heat. If a portion of ordinary starch be roasted, it is con verted into a substance resembling gum. It is no longer rendered blue by iodine, and becomes soluble in cold water. It loses the characteristics of starch and puts on those of gum. It is this substance which is called British gum, and it is obtained the application of heat to starch. The next substance which I shall notice is gum. This vegetable substance occurs in great abundance in all plants, particularly in those belonging to the acacia tribe, and it is principally from these tribes that it is obtained for the pur poses of the arts and manufactures. These substances differ materially from starch, in being soluble in cold water. It is not rendered' blue by iodine, and it moreover differs very much from starch, from the circumstance, that when acted upon by nitric acid it is converted into mucic acid, and is en tirely insoluble in water, whereas, when starch is acted upon by the same acid, it is very soluble in water. Gum being soluble in cold water and insoluble in alcohol, is capa ble of uniting with earths and metallic oxides, and forming certain chemical compounds. If, for example, I add to a solution of gum in water a solution of acetate of lead, we shall find that the gum will unite with the oxide of lead, and fall as an insoluble substance. This precipitate is termed by some chemists the gummate of lead, and is a compound of gum with oxide of lead in definite proportions. The most striking combination of gum with a metallic oxide, is that which we meet with in the oxide of iron and gum. If to a very saturated solution of gum in water, we add a little of the solution of the sulphate of iron, we shall find that the oxide of iron will combine with the fluid mass and convert it into a solid glutinous , substance, which is called the gum mate of iron. This is an exceeding characteristic distinction between gum and any other vegetable proximate principle. The next substance which will come under our notice, namely sugar, is one of very considerable interest. It occurs in great abundance in a variety of plants. It is extracted, for the most part, from what is termed the arundo saccha rifera, from which the sugar of commerce is obtained. It is also extracted from the beet root in an extremely white state. When sugar is properly purified, it is perfectly white. It is frequently met with in combination with vegetable mucilages, constituting the soft form of sugar, and it is only by manu facturing processes that this principle can be obtained per fectly white and pure. The mode in which ordinary cane sugar is rendered perfectly pure is sufficiently simple in a theoretical point of view. It consists in separating the brown substances, with which the sugar is associated, by means of charcoal, coagulating certain vegetable principles of a muci laginous nature by means of albumen, and afterwards clari fying'the substance by chalk. In this manner we obtain the pure white crystalline sugar, and the more crystalline the sugar is met with, the purer it may be considered. Sugar, although occurring naturally in plants, is capable of being produced artificially, and some of the most striking experi ments which have ever been made in organic chemistry, have arisen from the powerful action of certain substances upon starch, in the production of sugar.' It is a matter of extreme interest and importance in chemical science, that certain proximate principles, differing in their chemical constitution, and more especially in their physical characters, are capable of being converted, by the action of certain substances, into sugar. If starch be submitted to the action of sulphuric acid, it will be converted entirely into sugar. This extraor dinary fact was first observed by a Russian chemist. He was the first to discover that when starch was boiled with water and very diluted sulphuric acid, that it was converted into sugar. All the forms of starch with which we are ac quainted suffer this change by the action of sulphuric acid. Common arrowroot is converted into sugar by the same means, as well as common sago, both of these substances being almost entirely made up of starch. Ligneous fibre, such as we recognise in ordinary wood, is converted into sugar by the action of sulphuric acid. Common paper and rags, the essential element of which is ligneous fibre, become converted into sugar from the action of sulphuric acid. But there occurs in certain plants a substance, to which belongs the very peculiar property of converting starch into sugar. Barley, which has been suffered to germinate, contains a por tion of this substance, which is of an organic nature. If we suffer barley to germinate, so as to cause the developement of the plumula, which ultimately becomes the plant, and then stop the process of vegetation, we shall find that the starch in the plant has been converted into sugar, by a cer tain principle called diastase, which has the property of con verting starch into sugar, to such an extent, that the one thousandth portion of it, mingled with starch, has the power of converting it into sugar. And this is one of the Most im portant facts in organic chemistry, because it has the effect of explaining certain circumstances which would otherwise appear ery extraordinary. It explains the conversion of starch into sugar, and sugar into gum, because the agent which is capable of effecting the one is also capable of pro ducing the other. Starch is composed of 12 carbon, 10 hy drogen, and 10 oxygen. Gum differs from starch only in containing one proportion more of water. Sugar, perfectly free from water, has precisely the same chemical constitution as starch, and therefore may be considered as isomeric, being a substance containing the same elements, in the same pro portions, as starch, but differing materially in its physical properties. Crystalline sugar and gum are isomeric. Grape sugar, which is that form of sugar into which starch is con verted by the action of sulphuric acid or diastase, differs from crystalline sugar in containing three more proportions of water. We, therefore, can conceive how starch is converted into grape sugar, as we find that the sulphuric acid, in acting upon the starch, has undergone no change whatever, and may be recovered. The only substance acted upon by the starch has been the water. Sugar, like gum, possesses certain pe culiar properties in its relation to alkalies and metallic oxides. If we mix a solution of sugar and a salt of copper, we shall find that the sugar will combine with the oxide of copper, and prevent it from being thrown down, forming a soluble compound. If to an ordinary solution of the sulphate of copper I add a little potass, we shall find that the oxide of copper will be thrown down in the form of a blue bulky de posit. If, on the other hand, I mix a salt of copper with sugar, we shall find that the same alkaline agent will be incapable of throwing down the same amount of pre cipitate. This is entirely owing to the circumstance that the sugar combines with the oxide of copper, and forms a combination, which, being soluble, remains diffused through the fluid. ugar is capable of uniting with oxide of lead, and the sugar is found under these circumstances to be en tirely free from water. These are the only means we possess of freeing sugar from water. When combined with lead or sugar, it becomes anlydrous. Having thus briefly considered these three different princi ples, starch, gum, and sugar, I shall now direct your atten tion to a substance of more interest, namely, alcohol, or spirits of wine. This substance comes 'under the class of artificial productions, seeing that it is not met with in a natural state. Alcohol forms a very important feature in organic chemistry, not only in consequence of its peculiar properties, but in consequence of the many combinations it forms with other substances, constituting the neutral class of bodies called ethers. We find it in almost all of those fluids which are recognised as spirituous. Alcohol occurs in malt liquors as well as in the vinous. It is produced by what is termed the vinous fermentation by a peculiar chemical change which sugar undergoes under certain circumstances. There are certain conditions necessary for establishing what is termed the vinous fermentation. These are the presence of sugar, water, and the existence of a certain temperature varying between 50 degrees and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. But these conditions being observed, it is necessary that a sub stance called ferment should be present. This substance causes the elements, entering into the composition of sugar, to be re-arranged, and the consequence of their re-arrange ment is the production of alcohol. During the time this fermentation is going on, a quantity of gas is evolved, which is carbonic acid, and that such is the case may be very readily proved by collecting the gas produced in the alcoholic or vinous fermentation, when, by causing it to pass through lime-water, we obtain an insoluble precipitate of carbonate of lime. Sugar is composed of twelve carbon, ten hydrogen, and ten oxygen, equal to 160 parts. We shall find that if we separate from one portion of sugar, four of carbonic acid, we shall have upon the condition of two proportions of water, the elements in the proper propoitions to form four proportions of alcohol. Alcohol is a combination of nothing more than (defiant gas and water. Olefiaiit gas is constituted of two 'proportions of carbon and two of hydrogen ; thus alcohol consists, of two carbon, three hydrogen, and one oxygen. Alcohol obtained by the vinous fermentation is mixed with a very large quantity of water, and we have recourse to certain chemical means to free it from this water. If we submit alcohol to any substance, having a strong affinity for water, we shall remove the water 'and 'obtain the alcohol free. This is effected by, paetn'T3 of dry carbonate of potass. It is also effected by distillation with dry muriate of lime, which pesv3sts 'a strong affinity for water. Pure alcohol pOssesses 'powerful inflammatory properties. if a pottich of it be poured upon a shallow dish, we shall find that it will speedily inflame, and the products of the com bustion- will be carbonic acid and water. The flame of alcohol is capable of being coloured by a variety of sub stances. A peculiar acid called the boracic, communicates tb its flame a pale yellowish green colour, and this expedient is an excellent test for boracic acid. If we mb with aldolioi the salt called nitrate of strontran, the liable Will be coloured of a pink or crimson. Many other Salts possess the charac ter of communicating A 'colour to alcohol, and it is this cir cumstance which 'enables us to distinguish these substances from each btber. The salts of copper communicate a very remarkable green tinge to the flame of alcohol. The salts of potass colour the flame of alcohol violet. These experiments suffice to show the peculiar properties which substances have of communicating a colour to the vapour of alcohol when it is burnt. Alcohol possesses the property of dissolving the resins, camphor, &c. and when these substances are dissolved in spirits of wine, they are precipitated from this sbiutibn by means of water, the water uniting with the alcohol hid quitting the resins. A very ready mode of showing the sence of oxygen in alcohol is by bringing it into loonta'et Wieh Totassium, which has very poViterful affinity for oxygen. here is not, however; the tame 'energetic action produced when potassium f plaVad upon alcohol as when it is dropped upon water, but gall the alcohol will be decomposed. The spirits liCeome inflamed, but the potassium does not leave that violet-coloured flame which it exhibits on water. I have already stated that when alcohol is examined as to its che mical constitution, we shall find it to be composed of water and of olefiant gas. Now olefiant gas consists of two propor tions of carbon and two of hydrogen. The difference, there fore, between olefiant gas and alcohol, consists in the former containing one proportion less of oxygen and h*ctrogn gas so that if, by any means, we Can separate the water froth the spirits of wine, we ought to obtain rieffint 4as, and this we find to be the tase. If we take h)iiits of wine and mix them with a substance Which 'Possesses a powerful affinity for water, such as , P.ittphitric acid, the water will he taken away from the spirits of wine and the olefiant gas disengaged. The macs remaining in the retort being a - quantity of charcoal, because sulphuric acid, when in excess, is capable of decom posing olefiant gas, and setting free some of its carbon. Olefiant gas is characterised by the very great brilliancy with which it burns. It is composed of carbon and hydrogen in equal atoms—two of carbon and two of hydrogen. You will therefore see how large a quantity of carbon and hydrogen alcohol contains. If we mix two proportions of Chlorine and one of olefiant gas, and inflame the mixture, we shall be able to separate the charcoal, as the chlorine will combine with the hydrogen to forin muriatic acid. By these means, you will readily understand that oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon enter into the composition of spirits of wine. There are other means besides that to which I have'adverted of combining chlorine with the elements of alcohol. A peculiar fluid, and one of extreme interest, because it is used in medicine, is ob tained by the action of chlorine upon alcohol. It is called chloroform, and is produced by the distillation of chloride of lime and alcohol. It is called chloroform because it can be converted into formic acid. Chloroform is a combination of chlorine with hydrogen and carbon. I have here a small quantity of chloroform dissolved in spirits of wine, and I shall allow it to burn under a bell glass containing a small portion of litmus paper. The litmus paper will become red dened, showing the formation of muriatic acid, and, at the same time, if I place the glass over the i'apatir of ammonia, white fumes will arise: This entirely results from the muriatic acid which was produced by the combination of the chlorine with the hydrogen, uniting the ammoniacal vapour and forming muriate of ammonia. - Chloroform is not inflam mable by itself, but when mixed with spirits of wine is readily so. It is extensively used in medicine, as a stimulant, and is characterised by the pungent flavour it possesses united with a strong sweet taste. When alcohol is acted upon by nitric acid, especially when silver or mercury is present, very complicated changes take place, the result of which is the formation of an extremely detonating substance, which is called fulminating mercury or silver, as these metals are severally used in its formation. The fulminating mercury has much less powerful detonating properties than fulminat ing silver ; both of them, however, have been used in the formation of percussion caps. Irr this case the spirits of wine suffer decomposition. A portion of oxygen and of the nitric acid unites with the cyanogen formed in the process to produce cyanic acid, which, uniting with the metallic oxide, produces the fulminating compound. By striking a few grains of these fulminating substances with a hammer a loud report is occasioned, accompanied with the disengagement of a large quantity of gas. I have stated, that in order to obtain strong spirits of wine from ordinary weak alcohol, it is ne cessary to submit it to the action of certain substances pos sessing a strong affinity for water, and that dry carbonate of potass is used for this purpose. Caustic potass is some times resorted to, but it is objectionable, because it occa sions the decomposition of the spirits of wine ; and it is found, experimentally, that when alcohol is boiled with caustic potash that the alcohol becomes decomposed, and a peculiar resinous substance formed, similar to the al dehyd resin to which I alluded in my last lecture. In fact, alcohol suffers a portion of its hydrogen to be separated to produce the substance called aldehyd ; which being mixed with potash, and subjected to heat, suffers decomposition, and is converted into aldehyd resin. Carbonate of potash is therefore employed in freeing alcohol of its water, in order to render it what is termed absolute. A peculiar effect is pro duced upon spirits of wine by the action of spongy platinum. I observed in my last lecture that this is the case when alco hol is allowed to act upon platinum at ordinary temperatures. But when we submit it to the powerful action of oxygen gas we find that a very energetic action takes place, so energetic indeed is the action of oxygen upon alcohol, when platinum is used, that it is capable of converting the alcohol into carbonic acid ; and this conversion is only an extension of those changes which take place during the more slow and less ener getic action of the alcohol upon the spongy platinum, with nothing more than the atmosphere present. When the va pour of alcohol is brought into contact with extremely fine platinum wire a peculiar action is also observed. If the pla tinum wire be heated, and then placed over a vessel contain ing spirits of wine, this platinum wire will be rendered red hot, and will continue so as long as the spirit remains. The method is to take the fine platinum wire, and to coil it into a spherical form before placing it over the spirits of wine. An acid substance is produced, which is called the lampic acid. The next lecture will take place to-morrow evening. THE FACTORY CHILD. (From a Paper in The Heads of the People] Yes, our little factory girl is nine years old ; she is no longer a child ; she is a dwarfed woman. Her infancy was passed in pining, puling want ; from the first, almost an un tended thing, left days and days alone, the mother denied the enjoyment of maternal sympathies by sharpest penury (the fiend that, at the hearths of the poor, now chills, now blights, and now makes stony hard the human heart), by keen neces sity of out-door toil for the infant mouth at home. God knows how the child learned to walk ! A short time, and another baby engrosses the few hours (nay, half-hours) stolen from work to lavish on the last born :—and then, another helpless squalid thing ; and then, another : and then our little factory girl becomes a nurse, and, at six years old, hugs in her lean arms her half-naked tatterdemalion brother. She has not strength to carry him, meagre as he is, but shuflles and stumbles with him along the street : and now she sits in door-ways ; agd now in lanes and alleys her infant mind re ceives the seeds of future things : if things of goodness, a blessed chance ; if otherwise, the unthinking virtuous throw up their eyes and marvel at the wrong ! And thus the child passes her first nine years of infant life. What an infancy ! Lean and withered, and care-worn (yes, care-worn ! her baby countenance made duil and colourless by the miserable aspects every where surrounding her), she seems as if she had never been younger ; nay, more, that years could hardly make her look more old, there is within her face of babyhood so deep a stamp of sad maturity. All the better yearnings of the heart—the peace, the sportiveness, born and abounding at the hearths of competence—what has she known of these ? Life to her has been a joyless, selfish,'hungry, peevish thing. Her home has been the home of grinding want; at her fire side, man, the lord of creation, has been a serf to the lowest necessities, and not always a silent and unrepining one. How often is the brutal husband and the reckless father the horrid handywork of misery alone'! Of all the violence, the cruelty, inflicted on each other by the miserably poor, how much of it is bat the wild outburst of intolerable self-suffering ! And our little factory girl has seen this ; and the shadow of the evil has fallen upon her face. Let us, however, accompany the child to the factory. What a bitter season ! How the wind howls—with what a dash the sleet is flung against the windows ! The earth is frozen hard as iron, and the wind cuts blightingly ; snow is on the ground. It is five o'clock on a January morning. The child is up, and with its scanty covering pulled about it, descends shivering to the street. Poor little wench'! her blood is frozen under her very finger nails. Her foot, too (for her shoes have been patched past further patching, and yawn in half-a-dozen places) is galled with a nasty chilblain, and she limps most painfully. Her father, bound to the same factory, lifts her upon his back, and checking an oath, groans from :between his teeth. The girl is nine years old ; and, half-clad, in a desolating January morning, is carried — through cold and darkness carried—to work ! The girl is now in the factory. From this moment her childhood utterly ceases : she is bondswoman to all the cares of mature life. Nine hours a day is her allotted time for work ; the remainder of the 24 to be passed—in what ?in the sports of youth—in the happy, artless recreations of children, to whom even the consciousness of existence is at times a source of the keenest pleasure ? An hour and a half is given to breakfast and dinner ; and when we •remember the wages earned by the factory girl, sometimes as much as 4s. 6d. per week, and the costliness of the luxury of bread, an hour and a half for two meals is surely time sufficient ; they might, we have no doubt, be eaten—ay, both—in half the allotted time. There yet remain many hours—hours for what ? For the merest rudiments of education ? After nine hours' unceas ing labour in the cotton factory, how elastic the mind ! how apt for instruction ! how strong to pore over a book ! how fit ted to receive any impressions that shall rise its possessor a degree above the beast slaughtered for the shambles ! The factory girl returns home, and what can she do but sleep ? What should she do but seek oblivion from the noise, the racking noise of engines, the hell of sounds, which she has all day suffered ? Who would keep her one half-hour from her miserable bed? Who would lessen the blessings of sleep, since sleep may sometimes bring to her at least dreams of quiet, visions of happiness ? What to her is reading and writing I—let her quaff forgetfullness. The hat trade is brisker. in the North of England than it has been for 10 years past.—Bridol Mirror. THE Imasit POMPEII.—It is bounded on the north by Thomas-street, to the south by Harold's Cross and the Royal Canal, to the east by St. Patrick's Cathedral, and to the west by the new market and the Circular Road ' • and contains, upon a moderate computation, the ruins of not less than 10,000 houses, and a pauper population of probably 60,000 souls. It is termed, with great propriety, the Liberty ; I presume, from the free and easy style of the tenements and their inhabitants; The most unbounded hospitality would prevail, if there happened to be any thing to give ; for every body keeps open house all the year round, the doors having long since been removed, and the windows having in like manner disappeared in search of another situation. Street after street of these tenements present themselves to the eye of the curious stranger, naked of window as of door, and, save that they are densely inhabited, and still retain staircases and floors, more like a city sacked by fire than the result of any ordinary process of gradual decay. The sewers are long since impervious ; and a mantle of chickweed verdantly luxuriates over the stagnant' puddle that fills the various ave nues from side to side. It is no stroke of imagination to say that you breathe an atmosphere of typhus. Contagion is palpable : you may cut the malaria with a knife. If I were to tell you of the solitary rambles I have had in this metro polis of utter desolation—of the sights I have seen—of the sermons I have drunk in with my eyes, that with mute elo quence would melt the very stones under our feet—half-grown boys literally naked, in their buff about the streets—growa girls hiding their nakedness tinder dirty straw within doors— exanimate wretches drawing their carcases along, holding on by the wall, attenuated by no disease, sick of the want of food alone—if I were to particularise an instance from this mass of misery, and concentrate its hideousness before you, I dare say you would conclude me deranged or drunk. — Blackwood.

We have again to notice a moderate import of Oats, Oatmeal, and Flour, from Ireland and Coastwise, and of Wheat the exports rrom this to Ireland continue to exceed the imports from thence : but of Foreign Wheat, chiefly from France and Italy, and of Flour from the United States, the arrivals have been very considerable during the past week ;--thuch exceeding the demand. which has been very limited from the millers and dealers, and though some Parcels of Odessa anti Marianopoli Wheat have been taken by specu lators, last quotations have been barely obtainable, and in some in stances a small decline has been submitted to on this, and on every article in the Corn trade ;—the Yorkshire markets of the past week were also much depressed, and a little lower : and at Manchester on Saturday, very few sales of Grain, Flour, or Oatmeal, could be effected from this port. The duty on Rye and Beans from Foreign ports is this week in creased Is 6d per quarter; on all other Grain there is no alteration ; it is likely that the duty on Wheat will be increased next Friday to 25 8d per quarter; some few sales of fine Foreign Oats in bond con tinue weekly to be made for export at 2s 10d @ 3s per 451bs. and of Foreign Flour also for export at 37s @ 39s per barrel for sweet, and 335 @ 35s for sour. At this day's market there appeared more confidence in both buyers and sellers, and sales to a fair extent were made, chiefly to millers and dealers in interior markets, of Wheat of the middling and good useful qttalities of French and Russian, at fully the quota tions of this clay week, and in some instances at a small improve ment ;—for all other articles there was a very limited demand, and no alteration in the prices thereof can be noted.

The show of Beasts at market to-day has been tolerably large for the season of the year, and many of them of large size and ex traordinary good quality, which sold at extravagant prices; but from the very great prices there have been a few large as well as good Beasts left unsold. The Sheep have been rather less in number than the preceding week, a few of which were of very large size and extra quality, which sold at very heavy prices. The best Beef ~.ay be quoted at 74d, second quality bid to 7d, ordinary 64d. Very large wether Mutton realised Bid, good fair Sheep 7id to sd, ordinary and Ewes 7d 19 , tb sinking the offal. The market, upon the whole, may be considered a good one, especially for Sheep, as they were all sold up rather early in the afternoon. There were a few Pigs, but not many of the first quality, which may be quoted at from 42d to 54d r lb agreeable to quality. Number of Cattle at market :—Beasts, 1175 ; Sheep, 3107 ; Pigs, so.
