Vottrr. OUR OLD CATHEDRALS. (From the Church of England Magazine.) I love our old cathedrals, When the morning sunbeams shine Through the richly painted windows, Above the altar shrine; I love our old cathedrals, When the evening lamps burn bright, And through the lofty arches stream Their ray§ of softest light. I love our old cathedrals, With their organs pealing high, While the choristers are singing, And the vaulted roofs reply ; I love our old cathedrals, With the anthem pealing loud, Where praises are ascending From the densely mingled crowd. I love our old cathedrals, When heaven-devoted zeal Unites the heart and voice in prayer FOr man's eternal weal; I love our old cathedrals, Where truths divine are taught, The myst'ries of that holy faith For which our fathers fought. I love our old cathedrals, When silence reigns around, And the faint footstep 's hardly heard To break the still profound; I love our old cathedrals, The cloisters' solemn gloom, Where I may muse a pensive hour, And wand'ring thoughts call home. I love our old cathedrals, Whether amid the choir My every word and thought To the heavenly realms aspire ! Or whether slow I pace the aisles, In melancholy mOod,— I love our old cathedrals, That have for ages stood. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. A PAID MAGISTRACY AND A RURAL POLICE. (From the Morning Herald.) While the Duke of Wellington has noticed, in the language of becoming indignation and reproof, in the House of Lords, the conduct of that wretched thing, miscalled a government, which afflicts the curse of its despicable incapacity and meanness on the country, we regret to be obliged to say that in the other house of parliament, Sir Robert Peel seems only anxious to make the burning and pillage of Birmingham an argument in favour of Lord John Russell's proposition, for the establishment of a novel and un-English system of po lice. Nay, Sir Robert Peel has gone farther than the cunning Lord John in the present state of the national feeling ventured to go. The latter proposed a police establishment in Birmingham, under the control of the local authorities. But Sir Robert Peel thought the command of the Birmingham police should be given to a stipendiary magistrate or a commissioner ; in other words, that it should be to all intents and purposes a yovernrnent police—and, as such, a police alien to the constitution and dangerous to the liberties of Eng land. What Sir Robert Peel proposed was exactly the very thing that Lord John Russell wished, but feared to ask the House of Commons " to sanction," not because he was not sure of the slavish compliance of the house, but because he has, of late, imbibed a salutary dread of public opinion on this subject. Eagerly did the crafty little Machiavelian schemer—the author of the cele brated expression, that the opinion of the House of Lords was " the whisper of a faction," and the crea tor and patron of the chartist magistrates of Birming ham —catch at the proposal of the great conservative leader, that the local police of Birmingham should be under a stipendiary, alias a Home-office commissioner. In the first instance, there was a certain coyness about Lord John that was very amusing, and nothing could delight him more than that Sir Robert Peel should take the odium of the proposal to extend the French system of police throughout the country, leaving to him the much-coveted extension of power and patronage which it will confer on the ministers of the crown. Most unquestionably Lord John Russell's Birming ham magistrates, who, according to his own account, were not to be found while that great and populous town was delivered up to outrage, burning, and plun der, for the space of an hour and a quarter, have proved themselves utterly unworthy of trust as conservators of the public peace. Their " accidental supineness" has disqualified them for office. In any dangerous exigency the public can never look to them with confi dence for protection. But is that a reason why Sir Robert Peel should assist Lord John Russell to set up a Home-office police at Birmingham ? Is it not rather a reason why the right hon. baronet should have de nounced Lord John Russell, if not impeached him, for the appointment of chartist magistrates, under whose auspices, as well as under the auspices of the much bepraised metropolitan police, Birmingham has, accor ding to the authority of the Duke of Wellington, been treated worse than a town taken by storm ? When will conservatives cease to strengthen the hands of their enemies, and the enemies of the institutions of the country ? We warn tory as well as whit', that a French gendarmerie will not be tolerated in England. The country wants not a Bourbon police, but a truly British government. THE QUEEN AND THE CONSERVATIVES. (From the Staffordshire Gazette) We regret to perceive that there exists among many well-meaning friends of the monarchy a feeling against the Queen, whose partiality for her present ministers is as undeniable as it is unfortunate. In common with our party, we lament that her Majesty should lean to opinions the practical development of which would, we conscientiously believe, involve the ruin of the mo narchy and the constitution. We have watched the manifestation of her Majesty's sentiments with heart felt sorrow, but with little surprise, and certainly with out any resentment. The daughter of the princely Kent, an honourable and high-minded whig ; educated by her mother in the principles of her sire, and sur rounded at the most important period of life—when early impressions are strengthened by the first essays of personal observation—by those who never ceased to inveigh against conservatism, as hateful to the genius of a liberal and enlightened people—need we be sur prised that she should warmly incline to that party which professed to represent the wishes and wants of the great majority of the British nation ? Instead of looking with a resentful eye upon our youthful and inexperienced Queen, for the course she has pursued in the choice of her ministers, we are in clined to regard her with additional interest as we con sider the difficult and delicate position in which she is placed, and the threatened evils to which unconsciously she has given new power. Deeply and fervently do we pray that the time will soon come when, escaped from the spells which have been so craftily cast around her, she may behold the precipice that yawns at her feet, and give heed to those warning voices which have so faithfully continued to proclaim her danger. Far be it from us to feel anger because her most sa cred Majesty does not think as we think. 'We admire, we venerate the feelings which influence her Majesty's political conduct. Convinced are we that our illustri ous Sovereign acts upon the solemn belief that she is promoting the welfare of her people and the glory of the British Crown. We lament that the opinions called " liberal" are erroneous in principle, as regards the solid welfare of our country, but we admire them as abstract ideas, and cannot wonder at their easily fascinating the enthusiasm of youth. To wish to fasten upon all men equal rights and powers—to seek to raise the more humble to the capa city of their superiors—to desire to break down the barriers which have kept the mass o f t h e peop l e i n imaginary servitude—to labour to extend the liberties, to remove the restraints, to gratify the reasonable wishes, and to increase the general happiness of man kind—are aims which, however futile, and founded on theories however erroneous, must awaken the sympa thy of every generous mind. Such are the motives, we are prepared to maintain, which have ever actuated our youthful Sovereign in her political conduct. The generality of whigs and radi cals have not the same purity of intention, and there fore we look upon them with very different eyes; they breathe sentiments which often, abstractedly, are noble and praiseworthy, but there are other motives in their conduct too palpably apparent to make us regard their professions with any feelings but disgust. Not so Victoria : with pure sincerity she acts up to the prin ciples in which she has been educated, and Obeys the generous dictates of a youthful enthusiasm. That she is wrong, fatally wrong, in her views, we shall be found ready to maintain, with that respectful deference which we owe to our sovereign, but with. the unflinching constancy that is due to truth. LAW OF LIMITATION. A small work upon this subject, evidently the result of con siderable legal experience and research, by an able practising barrister, has just issued from the press.* To the legal pro fession it will be of especial and great utility, either as a work of ready reference or leading information upon the subject of which it proposes to treat, " The Law of Limitation." Those who are acquainted with the mass of legal matter to which Mr. Mansel must necessarily have devoted and applied himself will he surprised when we add our belief that this small work will supersede, and render almost use less, many volumes of law books upon the subject. Although the work is small and concise, Mr. Mansel has, with his usual clearness, skill, and legal ability, added ex tracts from the numerous Acts of Parliament now in force, limiting the several periods for the recovery of various species of property. Furthermore, Mr. Mansel, evidently considering that his treatise should, and ought to be, read and understood by all persons, as well in as out of the profession, has con veyed in easy and familiar language the various points proper to be treated on in such a work. 'We consider this small book to be a rare production upon so voluminou s a matter; and feel confident that, as a most useful work, it will find its way into the library of every no bleman, gentleman, and man of business. We cordially wish it success. * " A Treatise on the Law of Limitation, with an Appen dix of Statutes and Forms. By G. B. Mansel, Esq.

The positions of some of the principal favourites for the Goodwood Stakes will be found to vary materially from those assigned to them in our notice of Monday's betting. The Lord Mayor opened at 6 to 1, which was taken several times ; the layers of the odds, however, tired out his backers at this price, and finished just before the closing of the room at a point more. In the mean time, Confusionee, winner of the handicap at Winchester on Tuesday, sprung to 8 to 1 (tk,) Miss Eliza's advance being almost as rapid. Wee Willie, Romania, Morella, Rachel, were also in request, at slightly improved prices. I-am-not-aware was not in favour. The cup odds also vary in one or two respects from Monday's. Offers to take 2 to 1 about Harkaway (who passed through town yesterday on his road to Goodwood,) or to bet 10 to 6 ; 5 to 1 taken about Deception ; and only a point more offered against Richard Roe.

The long announced marriage of the Misses Glynne, the much accomplished sisters of Sir S. R. Glynne, Bart., M.P., of Hawarden Castle, Flintshire, took place on Thursday.— The joyous occasion drew together a vast concourse of peo ple in the beautiful borough of Hawarden, and at an early hour in the morning it presented to the eye a scene at once unique and imposing. The inhabitants testified their respect to the Glynne family by making every preparation for cele brating the happy event with due eclat. The streets were decorated with splendid arches of festoons composed of lau rels and flowers ; every house displayed flags with suitable inscriptions and bridal favours ; and on the whole so grati fying a demonstration of respect was never seen in Hawarden. The various family societies mustered in strong force, the members being all dressed in the costume of their various orders; and when marshalled in procession, each having a band of music engaged, had a most imposing appearance. At an early hour they were marshalled in marching order. Hawarden Castle, the hospitable residence of the worthy bart., the member for Flintshire, brother to the happy brides, was crowded with company. Amongst them were Lord and Lady Wenlock, the Hon. Mr. and Miss Lawley ; Lord and Lady Brabazon ; Lord and Lady Delamere ; Lord and Lady Braybrooke • Sir. W. W. Wynn a n d Mi ss Wy nn ; H on . M r . and Mrs. Vootle Wilbraham ; Hon. and Rev. G. Neville Grenville, Mr. Ralph Neville, and three Miss Nevilles ; Hon. Mr. Lyttelton ; Capt. and Mrs. Cole ; John Gladstone, Esq. ; Miss Gladstone; James Boydell, Esq.; Richard Barker, Esq. Revs. Henry Jones, Hill, Fitzmaurice, Crompton, Boydell &c. About ten o'clock, the bridal party left the castle in the splendid train of carriages, all with the postillions de. corated with nuptial favours. In the first were Lord De lamere and Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., M.P. ; in the second, Lord Wenlock and the Rev. Neville Grenville ; in the third, Miss Wynn, Miss Lawley, and Miss Glad stone, bridemaids ; in the fourth, the Misses Nevilles, bride maids; in the fifth, the lovely brides, and their brother, Sir S. R. Glynne, Bart., M.P. ; in the sixth, the bridegrooms, Lord Lyttelton and Mr. Gladstone ; and several other car riages followed, containing the rest of the party ; the last be ing Lady Glynne's pony carriage, conveying Mrs. Hand, the housekeeper, and Mr. Wbittingham, the butler, who have been in the family forty years. Immediately after merging from the park gate, the procession was greeted by the loudest cheers, and the procession which had been formed preceded them to the church in the following order : Band. The Hawarden Castle Lodge of Odd Fellows of the Inde pendent Order of the Manchester Unity. Band. Hawarden Temperance Societies. Band. Benefit Societies. Band. Tradespeople in large numbers. The procession slowly proceeded through the town, every window being filled with elegantly attired females, all sport ing bridal favours, and the happy principals of the day's fes tivities were greeted with loud cheers and the waving of hand kerchiefs. On arriving at the avenue leading to the parish church the good feeling of the inhabitants had induced them to cover the carriage road with rich carpeting, and the school children were ranged on each side. The footsteps of the brides expectant were strewn with flowers by beautiful child ren. The parish church was crammed with females to suf focation. The service was read in a most imposing manner by the Hon. and Rev. Neville Grenville, and at the close of the ceremony, the brace of happy couples were warmly greeted by their friends and connexions. The bridemaids on this happy occasion were Miss Wynne, the Hon. Miss Lawley, Miss Gladstone, and the three Misses Neville. Immediately after the ceremony, Lord and Lady Lyttelton set off in their travelling carriage to spend the honeymoon at his lordships splendid mansion, Hayley, near Stourbridge, Worcestershire ; and Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, to Norton Priory, the hospitable seat of Sir Richard Brooke, Bart. The nobility and gentry who had honoured the festivities with their presence afterwards partook of an elegant dejeuner at the castle. The denizens of Hawarden celebrated the day with all be coming respect. The various bands enlivened the scene at the castle, and were regaled. The inhabitants exerted every nerve to entertain suitably the vast concourse of people which crowded in from all quarters : nor were they unmindful of their poorer neighbours, as about £l2O was subscribed for the purpose of conveying plenteousness to the cottage of the widow, and gladness to the orphan. Long w ill thi s d a y b e remembered. In the evening a large party sat down to dinner at the Glynne Arms, when happiness to the married was loudly toasted ; nor was the health of Sir R. Glynne forgotten, with the expression of a fervent hope that he would speedily follow the good example set him by his amiable sisters. The festi vities of the day closed with a splendid display of fireworks. BAZAAR AT SOUGHTON HALL, FLINTSHIRE On Monday last, the bazaar announced to take place at the hospitable mansion of J. W. Bankes, Esq., of Soughton Hall, Flintshire, in aid of the funds for repairing Northop Church, was held. About twelve o'clock the company began to arrive, and continued to flow in even until late in the evening. The stalls were arranged on each side of the beautiful lawn at the front of the venerable old mansion, which was erected in the beginning of the fourteenth century. The fair stall-holders at the "post of honour" were Lady Hamner, of Bodlewyddan, Mrs. Mainwaring, of Oatley Park, Miss Jones, of Wern, the Misses Hughes, of the Bache, Mrs. Jones, Northop Vicarage, the Misses Williams, of Yscieriog, Miss Williams, of Oaken holt, Mrs. Roberts, of Halkin, and Miss Bate, of Kel s te r to n . About two o'clock the lawn, the delightful drives, which are shaded with fine aged oaks, &c., and the flower gardens on an eminence on the south side of the house, were all filled with visitors. Business now was the order of the day—the beauty and fashion, combined with the enchanting scenery which nature and art presented all around, pourtrayed one of the finest ideas of a fancy fair, that we ever witnessed. The articles exhibited for sale were elegantly got up, and high prices were neither asked or given for the commodities ; the only thing required was "cash and Apo abatement" on the charge " marked " on each article by the ladies who disposed of them. Though Mr. Bankes laboured under every disad vantage, as his mausion is undergoing a complete renovation, and most of the rooms are in an unfinished state, yet, as far as he was able, with the most condescending aff a bility, h e accommodated all present. Tables were laid out with re freshments of every kind, fruits, wines, &c. and with true old English Baronial hospitality, " all were welcomed to his board," Am . ongst the company we noticed Sir John and Lady Hanmer, Sir S. R. Glynne, and the Misses Glynne, Lord Littleton, Mr. Gladstone, M.P. Mr. Bankes, Mr. Dundas, M.P., Mr. and Mrs. Mainwaring, of Oatley Park, Mr. T. Roper, Mr. R. J. Mostyn and Lady, Mr. W. L. Hilton, Mr. T. Lewis, of Highfield, Mr. T. Griffith and Lady, of Trevallyn Hall, Mr. Thomas Whitley, Mrs. and the Misses Whitley, of Broncoed, Major Warburton and Lady, Mrs. Phillips, of Rhual, and party, Mrs. Husband and party, Mrs. James Folliott, Mrs. James Boydell and party, Mrs. and the Misses Simpson, Mrs. Crompton, and party, Mrs. and the Miss Williams, of Ysceiviog, Mr. and Mrs. Hilton, of Green field Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Thorley, of Caws Howell, Mrs. Brighouse and the Missei - Brighouse and party, the Misses Hughes, of Mold, and party, Mrs. Foulkes, Mrs. Humphreye Jones, of Wrexham, and party, Mrs. Harrop, Mrs. and Miss Lewis, of Pen y Glyn, and party, Mr. Williams, Mr. W. Jones, and Miss Lloyd, of Holywell. and party, Mr. Bate, of Kelsterton, Mr. W. and Mr. H. Johnson, Mr. Robert Williams, Mr. Humphreys, Mr. T. Williams, Mr. J. Han cock, Mr. Ironsides ; the Revds. Henry Glynn, Henry Jones, R. Williams, J. Husband, J. Hill, J. Fitzmaurice, James Folliott, Robert Jones, C. B. Clough, R. J. Roberts, E. Smart, and D. Williams, &c., &c. The greatest praise is due to all the ladies who officiated at the stalls ; also to Mr. Bankes, for his generosity and ex traordinary exertions throughout the day ; and especially to the esteemed Vicar of Northop, the Rev. H. Jones, for the zealous Christian sympathy he has displayed on this and every occasion, in striving to lessen those b u rd ens , w hi c h otherwise would have fallen heavily upon his parishioners. We are glad to state thatthe proceeds of the bazaar amounted to £lBO 4s. 2d., and the total produce arising from some articles, sold in the evening £194 4s. 2d.—Chester Gazette. , STATE OF TRADE. HALIFAX. — There is a great sameness as to the state of our market, this week, as compared with the previous one. Little doing with prices unvaried for a single article. Wool is as last reported. WAKEFIED WOOL MARKET.—There was little doing in any kind of Wool. Staplers' stocks are not heavy, but quite enough for the demand. Prices as last reported. LEEDS.—There has been unusually little doing, this week, in any branch of the trade. Some manufacturers are pre paring goods for the winter season, which keeps things a little more firm. Unless a decided change for the better take place, hands must be thrown out of employment. BBADFOR.D.—We had a decidedly improved demand in our piece market to-day, but unaccompanied with any advance on any kind of goods. The present rates are understood as not compensatory to the manufacturers.—Yarns : The low stocks of yarns make prices decidedly firm, and perhaps, in some cases, a shade higher ; but still the trade is at a low ebb.— Wool: This branch of our trade is excessively dull, and there is no moving of stocks even at reduced rates. Things cannot improve whilst short time is commonly prac tised.

HINTS TO LADY BATHERS.—From the moment the blood ; ceases to come to the surface, and the skin feels cold, there is danger in remaining in the water, and mischief has already been done by too long an immersion. The best and most ; healthy cold baths are those which do not exceed five minutes, and the skin, after leaving the water, feels warm, and has a tendency to redness, a red colour being instantaneously de veloped on the application of-the dry towel. In some in : dividuals of very fair complexion and thin cuticle, the skin becomes immediately red by the reflux of blood, and may therefore serve to indicate, without the aid of sensation, whether further immersion may be indulged in or not. Ladies fond of sea bathing as a luxury, and a pleasant bracer of the whole animal economy, should never exceed a couple of good dips. Rubbing the whole surface of the skin during several minutes, should immediately succeed in the bathing machine, and be followed by a brisk walk home' THE DINNER PARTY OF A GLASGOW MERCHANT.— Scarcely had they knocked at the door, when it was opened by a footman, while a genteel-looking butler, in black, and two more of the party-coloured tribe, essayed to take their hats. The old gentleman's was delivered up, as a matter of course, to the servant ; but, when he came to Solomon,— " Thank you," said he, " I'll just put it down here myself!' A second servant asked their names. They were given ; and the third one, already half way up stairs, called down to them, " This way, gentlemen, if you please." Upon this, Solomon said to the old gentleman, in a whisper, as they followed to the drawing-room, " This way, sir, and, if you please,' " ' " They are not so impudent as they look." As the names of the two strangers were announced, they were started by the dazzling display offered to their view. The first thing that arrested them, especially the old gentleman, was the great blaze of light in the apartments. The next thing that riveted their attention was the finery, the prodigious finery, of the ladies. The old gentleman thought, that a whole warehouse must have been emptied to furnish it ; and Solomon was sure it would have stocked every haberdasher's shop in the town of Dullborough, or Llangollen for a month. The ladies all sat silent, which upset the theories of the old gentleman on female loquacity ; and they appeared stiff, which he accounted for, on the score of a prudential fear that too much motion might crumple their gauze dresses, or bring down a knot of ribbon from its conspicuous position on a full-mooned muslin tiara. The gowns were so decorously long, that he could only observe one or two rather large feet, and not very slender ankles, as supporters of the female form. The gentlemen were grouped in the middle of the room, all scrupulously dressed in shoes and silk stockings. They had inexpressibles tied at the knees, exhibiting brawny calves ; and their caravats made a considerable display of white muslin, tied in not a very precise fashion under their chins. But guess, if you can, the astonishment of both guests (for there was no great sympathy between the old gentleman and young Solomon,) when setting themselves to listen to the whispering hum of the conversation, they found that, with the simple substitution of Scotch accent for English dialect, they might as well have been in the midst of their " travelling" companions at the George. " Ruins is up—Muscovadoes is down. Yarns is a shade higher, and calicoes a bawbee longer ; ginghams is rather lookin' better, and' jacconots is a little fawn—our frien' the baillie's bandanas is a perfect drug." These, and such remarks as these, in succession, too quick to be copied, even by a writer of short-hand, made up the conversation of the Glasgow gentlemen. " Have you heard," said the Lord Provost, " o' the arrival o' the Demerara frae Demerara, wi' a cargo o' sugars ? 'Od, they say they're the bonniest sugars that's been in the market this mony o-day. I've gotten some real fine limes by her ; and by our friend Douglas's first ship frae Jamaica, I'm promised some nice auld rum. By the way, Neebor Norace, our joint speck in pullicats has turned out but a pair concern. They'll no pay costs and charges." Here his lordship's discourse was interrupted by the an nouncement that dinner was ready ; and after much rustling of silks, and ceremonious advance of successive gentlemen to offer their arms to the ladies, the whole party moved in couplets out of the room, leaving Solomon and another youth to bring up the rear.—Sobertson's Solomon Seesaw. THE CONSUMPTION OF OPIUM IN CHINA.—It iS as sumed that in China there are 300,000,000 people, and that 33,320,000 taels of the smokeable extract are imported yearly, making of " victimized smokers," 912,000, at the rate of 365 taels each, or 301 pounds-weight per annum, 2 4 pounds per month, t; of an ounce per day, or 11 ounce per head for each and all of the immense population of China, from the remotest part of Tartary and Bokh6ra to the sea; besides the native poison grown in the country, which is supposed to be not inconsiderable. Of the 300,000,000 in China, &c., more than one-half may safely be put down as children and youth ; of the remainder, one-half may be women ; leaving probably, not (much) more than fifty millions of men ; thus supposing that all the men in China could, and would use the drug, the number of the victimized, 1 in 912, is brought to 1 in 150 ; and from this enormous deduction must be made for the aged, sick, and poor, and for those too far removed from the head quarters of the importers and sea-board to be able to obtain it at even enormous prices. It is, in fact, unlikely that it can as yet penetrate in large quantities much beyond the maritime provinces : and if only their population is taken, it will be seen that the ration of " victimized smokers" will be prodigious ; though even allowing the validity of the argu ment, I can scarcely admire a defence resting solely on the fact that only a share has been contaminated, and not all ! If a mace weight (nearly one drachm) would fill twelve pipes (which may be allowed to be " a tolerably good allowance" for each day,) and if it be further observed that (according to some accounts) the mace weight which has served a luxuri ous smoker to-day will supply the pipe of a more wretched slave to this habit to-morrow ; then will 34,000 chests (the amount imported during the last year to which my informa tion extends) be abundantly sufficient to ruin the health and shorten the days of no less than 2,980,000 individuals. And, if he who begins to use this baneful drug at twenty years of age can never expect to reach his fortieth year, then what must be the average number per annum, of those who are cut off prematurely by the use of opium. The ordinary calcu lation is, unless my memory fails me, that of sixty persons living and in health at the age of twenty, one may be ex pected to die every year. That is to say, the above-mentioned 2,980,000 persons who are living and in health at the age of twenty, would not, in the ordinary course of nature, be all dead in less than sixty years. If, on the contrary, in conse quence of the use of opium, they all die in twenty years, the rate of mortality is triple ! and thus within the space of twenty years, not less than 1,996,000 are murdered by the use of this pernicious drug ;or 29,300 every year ! I confine myself, in this calculation, to the effects of imported opium. At whose hands will the blood of all these victims to opium-smoking be required ?—lniquities of the Opium trade. INDIANS OF HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY.—The Indians throughout the wooded countries east of the Rocky Moun tains are employed in hunting the rich-furred animals, for the purpose of selling them to the Hudson's Bay Company. A considerable number of their young men are constantly employed in conveying the provisions and stores by water to the different forts and bringing back the furs there collected. At the beginning of winter, the season when the skins are in the best condition, they receive a supply of provisions, guns, and other necessary articles ; and in spring bring to the seve ral stations the produce of their chase. The British seldom hunt, unless for sport, or to supply the table. The natives, in a great measure, are supported by the company : and when at the forts, for traffic or other purposes, they live at free quarters, sometimes during three months at a time. The aliment procured by themselves is chiefly fish, found abun dantly in the numerous lakes and rivers. Deer, though pur sued with activity, form a precarious resource, rendered more so by thatimprovidence which makes the hunter never think of laying up any store of food. A party have been known, after spearing a vast number of these animals in their spring and autumn excursions, merely to cut out the tongues, and allow the carcases to float down the nearest river ; though they knew that, two or three months after, they would be ex posed to the utmost extremities of famine. Every company's post serves as an hospital, to which they resort during sick ness. and are supplied with food and medicine. When winter arrives, the diseased and infirm are frequently left there, while the lest are employed in hunting. The directors have made great efforts to introduce vaccination, though it has been hitherto opposed by strong prejudices ; but fresh instruc tions have been sent out on this subject, in consequence of the vio ence with which the small-pox is raging on the border territory. This people, since the use of spirits and incentives to quarrelling have been witheld, are become peaceable, have made some progress in civilisation, and their numbers are increasing. The company have made the most laudable efforts to instruct and civilise them, employing, at great expense, teachers and missionaries ; and notwithstanding the obstables opposed by their wandering life and rude habits, some suc cess has been attained. The whole number in the territory east of the Rocky Mountains is estimated at 150,000.—Edin burgh Cabinet Library, No. XXVlL—Historical and Descriptive Account of British America, Vol. 111. Many singular anecdotes are recorded of Sir S. Garth. On one occasion, when he met the members of the celebrated Kit-kat Club, he declared that he must soon be gone, having many patients to attend ; but on some excellent wine being placed on the table, and the conversation becoming interest ing and animated, the doctor soon forgot his professional engagements. His friend Sir Richard Steel, however, thought it his duty to remind the doctor of his poor patients. Garth immediately pulled out his list upon which were fifteen names. "Itis no great matter whether I see them to-night or not," said he, " for nine of them have such bad constitu tions, that all the physicians in the world can't save them ; and the other six have such good constitutions that all the physicians in the world can't kill them."—Physic and Physicians. A young city fop, in company with some belles of fashion, was riding into the country a pleasuring, when they saw a poor rustic-looking country lad at work by the roadside. Thinking it a fine chance to show his wit to the damsels by sporting with the poor boy's ignorance, he thus accosted him : " Can you tell me, Mr. Zebedee, how far it is to where I am going, and which is the most direct road ?" Poor Zebby, not at all daunted, with the most sober and composed counte nance, replied, " If you are going to the gallows it is but a short distance ; if to the gaol, it stands a few rods this side ; but if only to poverty and disgrace, you are approaching your journey's end. As for the most direct road, you are now in it, and cannot miss the way." Dandy dropped his head and rode on.—New York paper. NIAGARA FALLs.—When the Indian first looked upon the Falls, he declared them to be the dwelling of the Great Spirit. The garage could not imagine that the Great Spirit dwelt also in the leaf which he bruised in his hand ; but here it appealed to his sense in thunder and awful majesty, and he was com pelled to acknowledge it. The effects which the contempla tion of these glorious waters produce are of course very dif ferent, according to one's temperament and disposition. As I stood on the brink above the Falls, continuing for a consi derable time to watch the great mass of water tumbling, dancing, capering, and rushing wildly along, as if in a hurry to take the leap and delighted at it, I could not help wishing that I too had been made of such stuff as would have enabled me to have joined it ; with it to have rushed inoccuously down the precipice, to have rolled uninjured into the deep unfathomable gulf below, or to have gamboled in the atmos phere of spray which rose again in a dense cloud from its re cesses. For about half an hour more, I continued to watch the rolling waters, and then I felt a slight dizziness, and a creeping sensation came over me— that sensation arising from strong excitement, and the same, probably, that occasions the bird to fall into the jaws of the snake. This is a feeling which, if too long indulged in, becomes irresistible, and oc casions a craving desire to leap into the flood of rushing waters. It increased upon me every minute ; and, retreating from the brink, I turned my eyes to the surrounding foliage, until the effect of the excitement had passed away. I looked upon the waters a second time ; and then my thoughts were directed into a different channel. I wished myself a magician, that I might transport the Falls to Italy, andpour their whole volume of waters into the crater of Mount Vesuvius—witness the terrible conflict between the contending elements—and create the largest steam-boiler that ever entered into the ima gination of man.—Capt. Marryat'e Diary in America. SHORT GowNs.—" Dear Bennett,—Do pray blow up those lovely women who have cut their dresses off above their knees, for the purpose of showing their pretty petti coats,—And oblige yours, &c." Blow up the lovely women ! We will do no such barbarous piece of work. We don't care how high they cut their dresses, or if they choose to show the whole of their pretty petticoats. Several beautiful young ladies have appeared in Broadway in these short dresses, and the very novelty of their taste increases the interest they naturally excite, as well as gives them a dialogue; air. We are in favour of all gradual change of drapery. An invariable fashion in everything is the mark of imbecility of mind. Everything is changing around us ; the beauty and delight of day, night, summer, winter, autumn, spring, all consist in change. The charms of the wild woods and the beauteous vales spring from their gradual colour, complexion, and drapery. Why should not the ladies follow the great prin ciple of nature—the very essence of the divinity who has given the principle of change to every species of creature ? Blow up the lovely women indeed l Catch us at that if you can,—New York Herald, A BEACON FOR PROTESTANTS.—Bohemia presents the curious contrast of a country which, having been one of the first to contend with indomitable sternness and resolution against the corruptions and unhallowed power of Rome, has now become thoroughly and contentedly Popish. MEDICAL MYSTERY.—Although mystery is the essence of quackery, it will be necessary to have recourse to it in order to ingratiate yourself in public estimation. Secrecy is com monly mixed up in medical affairs. It is said that a great city practitioner, half a century ago, had little closets like a pawnbroker's shop, to indulge this feeling of fanciful patients, that they might not be seen by their fellow-sufferers. The Compte de Virey carried this mystery so far as to make the slightest indisposition a state secret. He one day called a surgeon to dress a wound in his leg, and when a similar one broke out on the other, he sent for a different surgeon, that the disordered state of his limbs might not be known, a cir cumstance which was the cause of his death. To a person who inquired for him after his death, his secretary said, " He is dead, but he does not wish it to be known."—Physic and Physicians. FOSSIL TREES ON THE MANCHESTER AND BOLTON RAILWAY LINE.—At a late meeting of the geological society of London, a paper was read, entitled—" A Description of five Fossil Trees found in the Excavations for the Manches ter and Bolton Railway," by Mr. J. Hawkshaw. One of these trees was discovered in 1837, and the other four during the present year, in forming a drain. They are situated in a nearly stright line, in beds of shale belonging to the great Lancashire coal-field ; and the distance between the first and the fifth is about 105 feet. The roots, as far as they have been exposed, are spreading; and they are apparently quite conformable in position to the inclination of the stratum in which they are embedded. The stems are nearly at right angles to the plane of stratification, and were enveloped, when discovered, in a thin coat of friable coal. The internal argillaceous casts are fluted ; and Mr. Hawkshaw states, that there are indications of a fibrous structure. The largest tree is eleven feet high, fifteen feet in circumference at the base and seven and a half at the top. The others vary in height from six to two and a half feet, and in circumference, at the thickest part, from nine to six feet ; but the girt is not always proportioned to the height. The roots of one of the largest specimens extended between five and six feet from the trunk. A thin stratum of coal was cut through on the same plane as that of the roots ; and, on excavating on the opposite side of the railroad, the seam was also found at the distance of about ten yards. In the immediate neighbourhood of the roots, the shale contained so great a number of Lepidostrobus variabilis, that more than a bushel of specimens were collected. Of the generic characters of the trees, Mr. Hawkshaw offers no opinion, as the coal which occupied the place of the bark was too friable to permit the external markings to be determined. He, however, alludes, to the opinion of M. Adolphe Brongniart, that the Lepidostrobus variabilis was the organ of fructification of a species of Lepidodendron. Mr. Hawkshaw has not only prevented the trees being removed from the position in which they were discovered, but he has had them protected from the weather ; and he invites geologists to examine the interesting phenomena which they present.—Athenceum. SINGULAR OPTICAL DELUSION.—I have often remarked the strange effects of intoxication, and the different manner in which persons are effected by liquor. When I was on the road from London to Chatham, a man, who was very much intoxicated, got into the waggon, and sat beside me. As people in that state usually are, he was excessively familiar ; and, although jerked off with no small degree of violence, would continue, until we arrived at the inn where we were to sup, to attempt to lay his head upon my shoulder. As soon as we arrived, supper was announced. At first he refused to take any ; but, on the artful landlady bawling in his ear that all gentlemen supped when they arrived, he hesitated to con sider (which certainly was not at all necessary) whether he was not bound to take some. Another very important re mark of the hostess, which was, that he would have nothing to eat until the next morning, it being then eleven o'clock at night, decided him, and he staggered in, observing, " Nothing to eat till next morning —well, I never thought of that." He sat down opposite to me, at the same table. It appeared as if his vision was inverted by the quantity of liquor which he had taken ; every thing close to him on the table he consi dered to be out of his reach, whilst every thing at a distance he attempted to lay hold of. He sat up as erect as he could, balancing himself so as not to appear corned (drunk), and, fixing his eyes upon me, said, " Sir, I will trouble you for some fried ham.' Now, the ham was in the dish next to him, and altogether out of my reach : I told him so. " Sir," said he again, " as a gentleman, I ask you to give me some of that fried ham." Amused with the curious demand, I rose from my chair, went round to him, and helped him. " Shall I give you a potatoe ?" said I, the potatoes being at my end of the table, and I not wishing to rise again. " No, sir," re plied he ; " I can help myself to them." He made a dash at them, but did not reach them ; then made another, and another, till he lost his balance, and lay down upon his plate; this time he gained the potatoes, helped himself, and com menced eating. After a few minutes he again fixed his eyes upon me. " Sir, I will trouble you for the pickles." They were actually under his own nose, and I pointed them out to him. " I believe, sir, 1 asked you for the pickles," repeated he, after a time. " W e ll, th ere th ey are," replied I, wishing to see what he would do. " Sir, are you a gentleman ? As a gentleman—l ask you as a gentleman, for them "ere pickles.' " It was impossible to resist this appeal, so I rose and helped him. I was now convinced, that his vision was somehow or other inverted ; and to prove it, when he asked me for the salt, which was within his reach, I removed it further off. " Thank you, sir," said he, sprawling over the table after it. The circumstance, absurd as it was, was really a subject for the investigation of Dr. Brewster.—Captain Marryat's Diary in America. DANISH TUMULI.—The sepulchral tumuli, of which such numbers still exist in Denmark, and from the spoil of which the museums of the capital have derived many of the choicest specimens, must ever be objects of the highest interest, both to the antiquarian and the traveller. Two of these tumuli may be seen at Jagerspries ; but the one which will best pay the labour of complete inspection is this sepulchral tumulus at Udliere, a few (English) miles from Fredericksund. "It is enclosed," says a Danish writer, " in a very regular, almost globular hillock, the circumference of which, at the foot, may be about 100 paces ; there are no circles of stones, nothing on the exterior of the hill to attract particular no tice. On the east side of the hill is an opening a little above the level ground, formed of four blocks of granite, the up permost projecting somewhat above the others. The descent to the subterraneous vault is very narrow ; the passage from this opening, which is about four feet high, about three feet wide, and about four or five yards in length, is formed of hewn granite ; the entrance to the tumulus itself is by a square aperture." " Difficult, however," he continues, "as the access may be, the visitor will find himself amply com pensated for the trouble he has been at. By the light of a lantern he will discover 15 large blocks of granite, of which some are two yards and upwards in height above the ground, placed in an oval form about seven yards in length, and three in breadth in the middle. Above these blocks, which are closely fixed, there are four of much larger and more irregular forms of the large stones has been closed up with smaller ones ; and the blocks forming the walls have been carefully filled together, with wedges of granite or sandstone-'-inane of these wedges cannot be removed without breaking them. The cave, in fact, appears rather to have cut in the solid rock than a burial chamber formed of several blocks of stone ; one of the irregular masses of stone forming the ceiling is above four yards in length, and two in breadth ; the height of the cave varies from three to four yards. The bottom is covered with yellow sand, in which are imbedded a few flint stones. Another tumulus, at a short distance, is said to have been the last resting-place of King Frode the Good.—Hand book for Travellers, ore. A FIGHT—SNAKE AND DOGS.—Near the roots of many of these plants were holes resembling rabbit-burrows. Sud denly, one of the dogs (a spaniel) which had been hunting about at some distance in advance of us, gave a yell which summoned the others to him, and we followed as fast as our bipedal powers would permit us. The (logs united in a ge neral howl; and when we Caine up with them, we found them scratching almost madly in the neighbourhood of one of the abovementioned holes, but at a very respectful dis tance from it, for from its interior issued an indescribable sound which might have appalled a lion. As near as I can convey the idea of it, it was a fierce hissing mingled with a growl. Conceiving that the tenant of this asylum might be a weasel or some animal of that tribe, we poked at the aper ture with our sticks, and cheered the poor dogs on to an as sault. We could not, however, with all our endeavours, in duce our best dog, though a noted scratcher, to invade the sanctuary ; on the contrary, it app eare d to b e hi s o bj ect to fill up the hole, by throwing the earth into it. H e a l s o bit off every branch of the mudar plant, laying each cautiously over the same place. At this time one of the party suggested that the occupant might be a snake ; whereupon we would have called off the dogs, but they were under the influence of a spell, and paid not the least attention to us. At length, to make a long story as short as with justice I can, an enormous cobra de capello burst forth, furiously enraged. On the first appearance of his head, the four-footed tribe retreated a few yards, then halted, turned, and held the foe at bay, whilst the rational portion of the party commended themselves to the protection of those locomotive engines so well spoken of in Hudibras, and so naturally referred to on such occasions. Our ignominous flight continued to the full distance of 20 paces, when we halted and faced about. We then witnessed a most extraordinary spectacle. In the centre of a large circle formed by the dogs, rose the snake, with hood dis tented, and about a yard of his body erect, gracefully curved like the neck of a swan. In this attitude he wheeled rapidly about, fixing his diamond-like eyes, quickly as light, on any antagonist, which, bolder than the rest, attempted to draw the circle closer around him. This war of " demonstration" lasted for perhaps a quarter of an hour, the dogs barking furiously all the time, when one of them (the spaniel too) made a spring upon the reptile, when his head was partly turned in another direction ; but he underrated the activity of his foe, and was bitten. A general attack now com menced, and the snake was soon torn to pieces. He died not unavenged, as Byron says. Two of the dogs received their death-wound, each bitten in the upper lip ; viz. the spaniel before mentioned, and a valuable Scotch terrier. For about ten minutes afterwards, their spirits appeared to be naturally excited ; they then began to sicken and retch, though they were unable to vomit; violent convulsions and death soon succeeded. The spaniel, which was first bitten, died in about twenty minutes, and the terrier half an hour after the infliction of the wound. .Eau de lace would have saved them, had we had it at hand. I have myself witnessed the cure of a man who was bitten by a very venomous snake: he was restored by a teaspoonful of eau de luce, given in half a wineglass of water ; and, although he was in a state of in sensibility, foaming at the mouth, and with his pulse ap parently gone, yet in less than twenty minutes he became convalescent and able to walk stoutly.—Memoirs of a Cadet. Low RAILWAY FARES.—There is nothing now which ought to be more attended to by railway companies than keeping their fares down ; and this has, in many instances, been very much neglected. The effect of this on travelling is fully shown in the report of the Irish Railway Commission. For instance, the travellers from Brussels to Antwerp by railway, in the year 1836, were 872,893 ' • whereas thos e on the Liverpool a n d M anc h ester Railway, for the same year, were only 522,991. Now, the population of Brussels, Antwerp and Mechlin, was 209,200 ; whilst that of Liverp oo l, Man chester and Warrington, was 486,812—considerably more than double ; or the ratio of population was as 2,327 to 1 ; while that of the travelling was only as 599 to 1 We must seek for the solution of this problem in the respective fares of the two companies. On the Manchester and Liverpool Railway, the average charge is nearly 2d. pence per mile ; while on the Brussels and Antwerp * Railway, the charge is about ld. per mile, or about double the price, and this dou ble price is accompanied with only one-fourth of the tra velling—the ratio of population to that of travelling being very nearly 4to 1. A still stronger case is that of the Paisley Canal, where the fly-boat fare is only id. per mile. Here, with a population of 262,725, the passengers in 1835 were 373,290; whilst, in the same year, with a population of 486,812 the Liverpool and Manchester Railway had only 473,849 pas sengers—being less by 13,000 than the whole population ; while on the Brussels and Antwerp Railway the number of passengers conveyed was upwards of four times the popula tion. The Railway Company from Paris to St. Germains has tried the experiment of low prices with complete success. Their greatest reduction of fares was was at the station of Nanterre, where they were lowered from 71 to sd. ; and the result was, that twelve d a y s en di ng th e 4th December, 1838, at the low fares, compared with twelve days ending Novem ber 22, at the high ones, showed an increase of 839 passen gers; and although the diminution in price was 34 per cent., the increase in the amount received was 161 per cent. We, therefore, strongly recommend that fares should be moderate. We have already stated, that, upon the Brussels and Antwerp Railway, where the average charge is about Id. per mile, and a o population riw connected u)ad rsf f o ur o with im of2o t 9, e p 2oo o , i tp uio the travellers On llersw t e h r e e 872,893, Manchester and Liverpool Railway, where the average charge is about 2d. per mile, and the population connected with it 486,812, the travellers by the by the railway do not amount to ale whole population.—Encyclopceaia Britannica.
