Vottrp. TO-----. How beauteous is that smiling, happy face ! How fair the brow those fairy locks embrace ! - How witching is that pure and sweetest smile, ,Possessed of every grace, of every wile ! How soft that bosom heaves the swelling sigh ! How sweet the tenor of that soft blue eye ! In magic splendour round its hallowed ring The Graces all seem silently to wing ; While ideal Cupids round those ringlets play, And, nestling in their tresses, sportive stray, And shoot' unerring the resistless dart, Through every stop, to the love-beating. heart. What wild emotions raise my heaving breast ! How vain the voice that bids it be at rest ! How keen the feeling that absorbs my soul, In love's wide-spreading, sweet controul! With what new feelings does the thought inspire, And adds new fnel to that consuming fire— The fire of love, which swells my heated brain — The fire that burns with never-ending pain— The heated ice, which courses every pore, And hotly freezes in the deepest core ! 'Tis love without return, where hope is dead, Yet love still lingers though that hope is fled : I still shall feel it in the hour of death — Thy name will linger on my latest breath ; And though I breathe not one complaining word, Ah ! yet thou didst condemn me, and unheard. Bth May, 1839. C. J. C.. I'LL BE A. CHILD NO MORE. I saw one in the morn of life, A glad and gleesome thing, Who little knew of worldly strife, And thus I heard him sing : " I'll throw this useless toy aside, I'll turn a fresh leaf o'er ; I'll gaily stem life's lucid tide, And be a child no more." I saw one in the noon of life, Joy lit his large dark eye, With lofty hopes his soul was rife, Jim cry : " I've won a high and noble ud.mv, And glittering golden store, I've early trod the path of fame, I am a child no more." I saw one in life's cheerless eve, With furrows in his brow, And thus I heard that old man grieve (Methinks I hear him now) My childhood's hours were bright and fair, My manhood sorrow wore ; Could I blot out my age of care, I'd be a child once more." ISABELLA VARLEY. A SONG, WRITTEN FOR MY LORD MELBOURNE, AND PROPOSED TO BE SUNG BY HIS LORDSHIP AT THE PALACE, ON THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY AFTER DINNER. I have had such a fright, oh dear ! I believ'd I was gone, very near ; But the Ladies have brought me back here, And therefore I drink to you all. It is-you who have sav'd me, not Dan ! I was alway. 4 the Ladies' man ; And surpass me at pleasing few can, — Dear Ladies, I drink to you all ! To YOU I am greatly indebted, By YOU I hope long to be petted ; It is better than being regretted, So here goes a health to you all ! Fair ones, dismiss all your fears, There is no more occasion for tears ; Should you live in the Palace for years, So long will I drink to you all ! I care not what tories may say, If I dine with the Queen ev'ry day ; I was born to love petticoat sway, So, Ladies, a health to you all ! Of female ascendancy earth is a school, 'Twas woman who first did man's destiny rule, And will to the last—or Lord Melbourne's a fool ; So, Ladies, good health to you all !! May 13. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE GOVERNMENT. (From the Statesman and Dublin Record.) It is with feelings very different from those with which we took up ur pen on our last day of publica tion that we sit down to write on the present occasion. We then had -to announce the resignation of Lord MelbOurne and his collea g ues office, in and our specu lations were turned to the benefits which the country would be likely to derive from a government con structed on conservative principles. But now a sud den and unexpected cloud darkens our prospects, and doubt and alarm assail us at every side. We had every reason to rejoice in the contemplation of - a government such as that likely to be constructed by Sir R. Peel, however short it might prove in some respects of our wishes. It could not, we thought, but be a subject of congratulation and happiness when contrasted with that of Lord Melbourne, and we en tertained no suspicion that the process of its formattn would be suddenly arrested by an intrigue of the most unlooked for and 'disgusting kind, and one which fills us with alarm, as well on account of our young and inexperienced Queen, personally, as for the throne on which she sits, and the country over which she reigns. But so it is. Her Majesty has evil advisers about her, and now, and not till now, did we know with certainty the frightful extent of their ascendancy over her. The curse of Popery is yet upon the land. Yes, we have been nationally guilty of paying homage and ado ration to that foul idolatry, and the chastening of Hea ven is justly laid upon us still ! We have no doubt that the " base intrigue" is of Popish origin. The agents of priests and Jesuits are about the palace, and our youthful and beloved Queen is in their hands. Alas, how earnestly should w e pray for her deliverance from the snares in which they have taken her ! The melancholy tidings which we have now to an nounce are briefly these—namely, that Sir R. Peel has been forced to resign the commission with which he had been intrusted for forming a new ministry, and that her Majesty is once more, or, we should. rather say, is still, in the hands of evil, or, as we consider them, the worst possible counsellors. However, we are not cast down. The Lord's time is the right time. The Satanic agency uf POPERY is not yet disclosed to the full in all this dark business. But wait a little—let us have patience—and we shall yet see clearly and distinctly that accursed Popery has everything to do with it. And then, when Sir. R. Peel shall next be sent for, we shall have a No-Popery mi nistry in earnest. The time cannot be far off. It may be nearer than many of us think. _ NATIONAL EDUCATION. (From the Scottish Guardian) Among the various subjects which we fondly trust will attract the special notice of the Assembly, the scheme of education lately introduced in England will, we hope, hold a prominent place. A scheme more in sidious or dangerous it is not easy to conceive. It puts the sacred name of religion on its forehead, while) it carries the essence of infidelity in its heart. It is to set up in the schools of Great Britain a new religion, what it calls " general religion"—that is, a reli g ion which, whatever it be, is not to be the religion of the Gospel of Christ. And then, to make a still greater mockery of religion, these schools are not to have one Bible as the standard of truth; but the Roman Catho lic Bible is also to be read ; and upon the same ground, and of necessity, the Socinian one too. Let it be re membered that these versions differ, not in small points, but in whole chapters and books. And thus the rising generation are to have it proclaimed, on national au thority, in their every-day schools, that it is a matter of great doubt and uncertainty what is truth at all. As for the pretended arrangements for teaching " special religion" on some particular day of the week, it is im praeticable if it were right, and it is utterly unjustifia ble if it were practicable. That the nation should sanction and pay a Socinian, a Papist, a Universalist, or any other religious teacher of any form or shade of heresy, for coming to instruct the children, and all with the same readiness, and for the same reasons— viz., that there are children whose parents profess these religious tenets—is a principle so flagitious, that we cannot doubt but it will call forth the indignation of every Christian in Great Britain. And let it be borne in , mind that there is nothing whatever, so far as we are able to see, to hinder the board which is to direct this monstrous system, from bringing Scotland as well as England within the range of its operations. If the Church be not blind to a most formidable evil, and ne glectful of a most sacred trust, she will lift up her voice in next Assembly in the most decided terms of reprobation against this insidious attempt to under mine the religious character of all public education. THE :111 `ISTRY. (From the Age.) It is known that on Thursday afternoon Sir Robert Peel had completed his arrangements, that Lord Lynd hurst was to be Chancellor ; Lord Stanley, Colonial Secretary ; Sir James Graham, Home Secretary ! and the Duke of Wellington, President of the Council ; and that her Majesty had approved of them. It is known also that her Majesty had consented to Sir Robert Peel's re-construction of the Household ; and that, up to •Thursday evening, or rather Friday morning, the right hon. baronet was not aware that any change had taken place in the royal mind. It is known, that in the interim Lady Normanby, prompted by her husband, contrived to pour the poi son of distrust into her Majesty's ear—that although t te Melbourne ministry had resigned, and their resig nations had been accepted; a Whig Cabinet Council was held on Thursday night at ten o ' clock, and remained sitting until two o'clock in the morning, unknown to Sir Robert Peel—that the Gl6be and Courier announced that her Majesty's determination had been warped be fore Sir Robert Peel knew it from her Majesty herself —and that Sir Robert Peel consequently declined to be a minister on conditions which left au influence in the Palace hostile and superior to his own. It is known that Sir Robert Peel did not insist upon the removal of all the household, but only of those whose immediate connection with the Melbourne ea biaet rendered it impossible, not to say dishonourable, on their part, for them to remain. It is known that Lord Melbourne is again, pro tem pore, in office, and his myrmidons are yelling out in the streets, " Rescue your Queen from the insults of the scoundrel Peel I"—which sufficiently proves the de speration and xeckless spite of his lordship's expiring faction. 4t the monon,o,at which we write, nothing beyond the facts we have above stated is known to the public. The general impression, however, is, that the Queen has placed herself in a position of great difficulty, by attempting to make an unconstitutional stipulation with Sir Robert Peel, which, notwithstanding the efforts of the Normanby plotters, she will find it expedient to withdraw. _ _ _ We can state that there is not the slightest hesitation or feeling of annoyance on the part of our conserva tive leaders. For the, sake of royalty they may regret the untoward interference of female meddlers in state matters of most awful importance ; but for themselves they know that the Sovereign cannot do without ap pealing to their loyalty to save her from "her friends," and they will not fail in their duty. In a few days Sir Robert Peel's triumph will be complete ! ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS. REPORT &c. (Concluded from our last number.) To read a plan is admitted by the most practised to be the result of great experience and knowledge. To pursue the clue through the labyrinth of ichnography, and to follow out arrangement and economy of space, and the combination of convenience and beauty, require not only great intelligence and discrimination, but a long course of analogous study. Even the experienced professor must go through the whole subject minutely. How often does any scruple or doubt of their own competency embarrass a committee appointed to judge of architectural designs ? Do they consider any fur ther qualification necessary, when they have assumed to themselves the undefined and flattering attribute of taste ? Again, it is well know to experienced architects, how diffi cult it is to form a correct judgment upon designs on different scales and in different styles of drawing—and yet committees do not hesitate to select a design, without suspecting in the slightest degree, that they may have been captivated by the meretricious allurements of the artist, and that they may have admitted the accessories of pictorial representation to have the weight of argument and reason, particularly when coloured views and scenery, aided perhaps by false perspective, or taken from impossible points of sight, are introduced to the destruction of any common ground of comparison. The delusion is only eventually detected when it is past remedy. Another evil, which the necessary ineXperience of com mittees as at present constituted, Lenders it to meet, is, that a design may be selected for its decorative character, which it afterwards proves inexpedient to carry into effect, on account of the expense attending it. In this case it frequently happens, that, in preference to encounter ing the inconveniences of retracing their proceedings, the committee suffer the design to be stripped of every thing, which originally recommended it to their notice ; thus dis appointing the expectations of the public, and inflicting a flagrant injustice upon the other competitors. It is no less in a moral than in a scientific view of the case that this culpable negligence affects the question of compe tition. The motives, by which the inexperienced and con scientious professor is impelled to enter into competition, are undoubtedly of a mixed character. The love of his art, the pride of authorship, emulation, the hope of professional dis tinction, and the prospect of pecuniary advantage, all have their share in inducing him to embark a certain venture of his time, talents, and labour upon an uncertain chance of a return. _ _ Perhaps it has never occurred to the proposers of a com petition to inquire how far it may be justifiable to play upon these feelings, and to take advantage of the circumstances in which the profession are placed by the necessity of ac quiescing in the principle of competition. They do not re flect that the architect accepts their invitation to compete upon the faith of a mutual contract, which it is at least in cumbent upon them to maintain on their side, when the architect has fulfilled his part by entrusting them with his property, (for his design is his property, until he shall have received an adequate consideration for it,) under circum stances in which the trust is so liable to the imputation of abuse. But so little is this principle felt, that they deal with the architect as a mere adventurer who has taken his ticket in a lottery, and visit his design with their strictures and criticisms unrestrained by any of those proprieties, which are demanded of them as individuals, or by those scruples, which should govern them as judges. It is seldom that competitors are dismissed even with the decent cere mony of thanks for their unrequited exertions. In detailing the evil* attendant upon competition, your committee have confined themselves to such as arise imme diately from the present loose and irregular system ; which they conceive to be such, as almost to preclude the possibi lity of justice, however well-inclined parties adjudicating may be to exercise it with impartiality. But a much more serious train of evils is entailed upon the public and the profession by the facility with which the system lends itself to collusion, many instances of which have been amply proved to your committee, but to which they think it inexpedient more fully to refer. Your committee feel confident, that the introduction of a better system by those who have the wish to do justice, would be sufficient to crush the power of doing wrong, which has too long been indulged with impunity. In proceeding to consider what remedies may be suggested for the evils here enumerated, they will be found to arise naturally out of the statement itself. It is not to be doubted that the proposers of competitions may prescribe any terms they think fit. Whether, therefore, they prefer laying down precise instructions on every point, or leaving themselves a certain latitude in their decision, or snaking it entirely open to competitors to offer any sugges tions that may occur to them, it rests entirely with the pro fessor to decide for himself, whether the conditions, and the personal character of those who propose them, are satisfac tory. But whatever the conditions may be, they ought to be clear and explicit, that the competitor may know precisely and unequivocally upon what he has to rely. Whenever it may be expedient to lay down definite instructions, they ought to be strictly adhered to, when judgment is to be founded upon them, and every design rejected, which shall be found not to conform to them. In framing instructions care should be taken to distinguish accurately between the objects to be attained, and the means of attaining them. The former cannot be too accurately ascertained, or too explicitly described ; but the latter should be left as much as possible to the architect, for otherwise a proper scope will not be afforded for the exercise of a variety of suggestions, and one great end of competition will be frustrated. If however there should be a decided bias in favour of any particular style or mode of composition, it ought to be ascertained and stated in the instructions. As the formation of definite preliminary instructions, and a decision strictly founded upon them requiie more experi ence •ind knowledge of architecture than miscellaneous com mittees may generally supposed to possess, it is suggested that in all cases competent professional advisers should be referred to upon these and other points connected with the duties of the committee : but without taking the final deci sion out of the hand of the original parties to the competi tion, or relieving them from its responsibility. Professional opinions are especially requisite in regard to practical construction, also to minute arrangements, as of light, ventilation, and warming, in reference for example to prisons, hospitals, and places for public meetings.* The maximum amount of the intended expenditure should be given, and when a selection is made, proper means should be employed to ascertain that the cost of executing the design will not exceed the estimate. In order.to assist the judgment by establishing an uniform comparison, the drawing presented for competition should always be made on one scale ; and limited to one style of finishing, as in Indian ink, with no colour, unless for such a purpose as that of distinguishing different materials in sec tions. Perspective drawings, if correctly made, are certainly desirable to show the proper effect of designs ; but they should be restricted to specified points of view. Models should be received with caution, as not being unexception able tests of the merits of a design. With regard to the various modes which have been sug gested of adjudicating upon competitions in general, your committee wish to touch but slightly upon them ; conceiving it foreign to their present purpose to propound theories, upon which opinions would inevitably differ, and which would tend only to lead them astray from the point towards which their present exertions are directed, viz. uniform prac tice in the conduct of competitions, as nearly as such an object can be obtained, where every case brings its own peculiar exigencies. They pass over therefore such propo sitions as, that artists alone should judge of works of art, that the votes of the competitors themselves should be can vassed—and others of a like nature, though suggested from quarters worthy of all respect. But they must advocate the principle, that as much publicity as possible should be given to the proceedings in all cases. For although the public at large cannot be accepted as a' competent judge upon cases requiring peculiar attention and information, yet the exhibi tion alone of the drawings, accompanied by the instructions upon which they are founded, cannot fail to render those, to whom judgment is confided, both diligent and scrupulous in the discharge of their duty. To effect this object however, experience has shown, that the expression of the public opinion must precede, as well as follow, the decision of the judges. The public exhibition of designs, previously to the final decision upon them, might render it expedient to follow generally the practice, now only partially adopted, of con cealing the names of competitors under a motto or cypher. On any ground the practice is scarcely worthy of mention, and is liable to the objection of being deceptive ; for your committee have sufficient evidence to prove, that, though apparently fair, it is absolutely futile in effect. Your committee have now stated some of the evils to which the present system of competition is liable, and have sug gested a few simple measures for their remedy. Upon these measures they can scarcely suppose a difference of opinion can arise. They have the greatest reason to believe, from the information they have obtained, that, in a very great majority of cases of competition, the committees or parties to whom judgment is confined are quite ready to acknowledge them selves deficient in means of fulfilling their duty, when once the nature of that duty is candidly and temperately explained to them ; and that any suggestions, to the effect above stated, will be favourably received, when offered in proper terms and at a proper season. But to effect this object rests with the profession at large, upon whom the committee would urge in the most earnest manner the necessity of refusing to enter into any competition, which does not offer a sufficient guarantee that it will be conducted both with intelligence and justice. To secure these desirable requisites m compe tition, let every architect, who is disposed to enter the field and values his own station and character, examine minutely the terms proposed—address in writing to the secretary, or other authorised party, the most searching inquiries on every doubtful or indistinct point,—and not rest satisfied with any answer, which fails to place every thing necessary to be known in the clearest point of view. Whenever instructions have been drawn up hastily or inconsiderately, these very queries will suggest to the authors of these instructions the necessary emendations, and your committee cannot doubt that they will be made, whenever justice is really intended. Those, who invite competition, and those, who accept the invitation, are equally interested in placing it on a definite footing, since it is 'he uncertainty of its present condition, which opens the door to impositions, of which there are but too many on both sides ready to take advantage. Although the inquiries, which may be addressed by pro fessional men to the institutors of competitions, must neces sarily be dictated by the peculiar circumstances of every case, yet the following, although merely proposed as expla natory of the intentions of the committee, may be found generally applicable. By whom are the designs to be examined and selected? Have any designs been laid before the parties previously to the competition being proposed ? Have the parties any architect, or person professing to be an architect, in their employ? Will any means be adopted to ascertain that the designs can be executed for the sums estimated ? Will the parties undertake to lay aside all designs, which cannot be executed for the sum estimated? Is it the intention of the parties at once to exclude from the competition all designs not in strict conformity with their instructions in every respect ? Will the architect, whose design is selected, be employed to execute the work, provided his character and standing in the profession be such as to render him unexceptionable ? * It is not here intended to restrict the word professiona to architects, but to apply it to those members of all profes. sions, whose advice may be made available in the arrange. msnt of buildings of various classes.

We have this moment received by an extraordinary ex press letters from our correspondent and the evening papers, dated Sunday night eleven o'clock, announcing an insurrec tion in Paris. The following letter, from our correspondent, contains a summary of the events known to him up to the date of his letter : " PARIS; Sunday Night, May 12, 11 o'Clock, p.m. " This day, at half-past two &clock, commenced an emeute, if not insurrection, of a very serious nature. At half-past two o'clock this afternoon a number of men, amounting to at least 200, suddenly made their appearance in the Rue St. Denis. Their presence attracted a great crowd of idlers, and they were immediately joined by others of their own party, no doubt, all of them being, like them, dressed in blouses, with casquettes (the ordinary apparel of workmen.) They passed down the street rapidly, and halting before the house of Lepage, the gunmaker, which they attacked ; and, after some difficulty, forced an entrance into it, and seized about 150 muskets, and other fire-arms, which they carried off. They forthwith passed down that street (the focus of all previous insurrections), and, reaching the quays, divided. One party proceeded to the military post on the Quai aux Fleurs, adjoining the Palais de Justice, and called on the troops to surrender. Without waiting for a reply, they fired a volley, which killed a very fine young man, the sentinel at the door, and wounded the officer in command, and a serge ant. The , soldiers (principally conscripts) immediately sur rendered, and were disarmed. " Having achieved this feat, they attacked the Palais de Justice, but were repulsed by the Municipal Guards, who killed several of them. _ _ _ _ " Another party returned towards the Pont Neuf, per fectly at leisure and at their ease, as I saw them in the re volution, and subsequently on the sth of June, 1832. " Several dead bodies were brought to the Morgue, and and among them two women—one elegantly dressed, and the other of the working or lower orders. " While this was going on, the military post in the Place du Chatelet was attacked and easily disarmed. " A party which proceeded to the Place de Greve attacked the Hotel de Ville, defended by some National Guards, who surrendered to them. They erected on the Quai Pelletier a barricade with coaches. " A general movement was then made towards that classic ground, the Rue St. Martin, where, as usual, they com menced erecting barricades, extending from the church of St. Marie towards the Halle. The Rue Aubrey le Boucher, and those in its vicinity, are said to be as well covered with barricades as in June, 1832. • has OCatipled RE,Ferly an hour. irk. guards were the first who approached the insurgents, and fired on them. After a heavy fire, with but little mis chief to either party, the latter gave way, and fell back on their central point already mentioned. There they must have received reinforcements or co-operation, for at eight o'clock some of them were already in the Rue Coq St. Honore, and in the Rue Croix des Petits Champs, were two shots were tired ; but, although their object was unquestionably to have attacked the Louvre in that quarter, they were deterred from it by the closing of the gates, and the firm attitude of the troops within. (I ought, when speaking of the first movements of the insurgents, to have stated that they shot a national guard, u painter by profession, at the Rue Hauteville. A woman also unfortunately fell there.) " Even in the Rue Richielieu, near the Rue St. Mare, some of the insurgents presented themselves, and fired half a-dozen shots, and then proceeded to the Rue St. Denis. "About half an hour since I saw a general officer, who, from his white-feathered hat, I took for a marshal, proceeding with a heavy escoxt of cavalry to take the command of the castle of Vincennes. It is needless to say that all the gar rison is on foot. The National Guards also turned out nu merously at the first beat of the rappel. Patroles of each are passing every instant through the streets, and an occasional shot is heard, but no vollies or sound to indicate that a gene ral attack is going on. The morning will be a terrible one, it is to be feared. " You will now ask me, as I have asked a hundred people, "What is all this ? What is it about ?' " I am told it is the outbreak of a regular republican con spiracy. That the disaffected have 26 depots of arms in several parts of the town, and that they are well organized and well prepared. " There is in the affair an alarming feature. Six or eight regiments of the garrison are under orders for the depart ments, to be relieved by others on march for the metropolis. Rumour states, that their removal is owing to an intimation received by government that they had been successfully tam pered with. If this be true, there is but too much reason to expect that the insurgents will be joined by some of the soldiery. " I cannot close without observing, that the revolt has come like a thunder-clap on the government ; and that the respectable portion of the public, while condemning the in surrection, attribute it in a great measure to the want of a government, arguing that ' if there had been a government, no insurrection would have occurred, for the plot in which it originated would have been discovered.' There are great crowds at Tortoni's, but no business doing, as you will easily guess. " I forgot to say that no rallying cry was or is heard from the insurgents, but yells of the most savage and hellish cha racter. Will you. believe it.? The mob are told that the people of England and Ireland are in full revolt. " In fine, the only thing clear is, that we are in insurrec tion. I think it will be suppressed ; btlt God only knows at what expense!' STATE OF TRADE. M ANCEESTER.—There was rather more business doing in yarn yesterday, owing partly to the intended stoppage of the canals next week, and partly to a partial demand for the East India market. Prices of the lower shipping counts of yarn were fully as low as on the previous Tuesday ; but in the higher numbers, suitable for the India market, there was a slight advance on previous rates. There was a moderate demand for power-loom cloth, and the slight advance ob tained on Thursday last was- fully maintained. The working of short time is now general throughout the country, and it is expected that there will be a complete cessation of labour in the factories of this neighbourhood (luring the whole of the Whitsun week.—Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY 13.—The market has not been so brisk as on the preceding Monday, though there has been a fair quantity of goods sold, at low prices. There is no change in the wool market. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY 14.—We have to report a dull market, which may fairly be attributed to the extreme cold weather, and its being the fair day. Plain woollens were rather more in demand, and fine fancy cloths were freely purchased ; but stocks are very low, most of the busi ness now being done to order. Wools remain firm. A general slackness for the season is complained of in the warehouses. HINTS TO ELECTORS.

BLESSINGS OF MUNICIPAL REFORM. — The poor rate for the borough of Bath, for the year ending 25th March last, was £10,929 ; the borough and watch rates £13,924. England, in its present excited state, was likened the other day, by a gentleman, to a barrel of beer in a state of fermen tation, working out at the bung-hole: - - Owing to the excitement occasioned in the provinces by the ragamuffin Chartists, money is being withdrawn to a large amount from savings' banks. CARDINAL PUFF.—We understand that the most noble the Marquis of Westminster has granted Mr. H. Clowes of this city, permission to take a portrait of this splendid horse, the winner of the Tradesmen's Cup at our last races. — Chester Courant. Saturday morning, 100 of the A division. belonging to toe metropolitan police force, with a number of the F division, left London, by the Birmingham railway for various parts of the north. At present there are but 18 of the A division in London. The following instances of atrocious cruelty are stated to have lately occurred at Constantinople :—A woman of the island of Ting, resident in the Turkish metropolis, impaled her own son, a child between five and six years old, because he had dirty habits, which she was unable to correct. A widow, wishing to marry again, but finding that her intended was unable to maintain her two children by her former hus band, dug a grave, and buried them both alive. As these wretches were Greek subjects, they were both sent to Athens for trial. A curious phenomenon, it is asserted, was witnessed at Montfort-sur-Rilla, in the Eure, a few days since. Towards the middle of the day, which had been unusually warm for the season, a large yellow looking cloud came over the plaee from the north, and several heavy drops of rain fell from it. It was observed that these drops were quite yellow, and, on some of them being carefully examined while drying, it was found that they left a yellow powder as a sediment on the ob jects upon which they fell. We have not heard whether the nature of this sediment has been investigated. We find the following trait of ferocity narrated by the Quo tidienne, as having occurred a short time since in Algiers. A Spaniard was leading some horses out of the gate of Bab el Oned, when he was met by an Arab, who, from some cause or other, addressed some insulting epithets to him. The Spa niard enraged, leaped down from his horse, and seized the Arab, when a violent struggle ensued, in which the latter, being of far superior muscular strength, threw his adversary on the ground, and partly with his teeth, partly with his hands, tore off the unfortunate Spaniard's lower jaw, which he carried off as a trophy, leaving his victim to expire on the spot. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. The lectures upon animal mechanics, by J. Rymer Jones, Esq. of King's College, London, terminated on Saturday evening, having been • well attended throughout. To the student in natural history these lectures were calculated to afford the most lively pleasure and satisfaction, from the peculiarly clear and elaborate manner in which the learned .professor elucidated the admirable contrivances by which the Creator has fitted every portion of the animal world for the different situations in which they are placed. The organi zation, colour, form, mid size of the various animals were shown to be so admirably adapted for the ends to which they were created, that it was impossible at every step throughout the lectures, to refrain from admiring the goodness of God as displayed in the perfection of the animal world. This dis tinguished lecturer was succeeded on Wednesday evening by Robert Addams, Esq., a gentleman distinguished in the scientific world by the extent and variety of his attainments. We have had the gratification of attending the lectures of Mr. Addams in this town, at several periods, and upon each occasion with increased pleasure and instruction. Mr. Addams possesses in an eminent degree the rare faculty of commanding the attention of his audience even upon the driest subjects, and by divesting his phraseology of all un requisite technical terms, of rendering his lectures clear and distinct to the meanest capacity. We perceive that upon this occasion Mr. Addams purposes to direct his consideration to the mysteries of magnetic electricity, and certainly, from the continual, nay almost daily discoveries making in this most important science, we expect to derive no inconsiderable amount of information, as well as pleasure from his lectures. In fact, there is no doubt they will prove a visical as well as intellectual treat : for amongst the novel experiments by which they will be illustrated, we perceive the electrical tele graph. The apparatus of Mr. Addams is unusually large in this department of science, and embraces models of all ma chinery and contrivances requisite to render its merits ap preciated and understood. Indeed, we may observe that Mr. Addams is no book lecturer—that is to say, he does not con tent himself with drawing his resources from works published upon a particular science, but as any invention or announce ment is made in the scientific world, he at once appropriates it, and thus ensures to his audience the peculiar pleasure of having their knowledge posted up to the date of their attend ance. For this reason we feel certain that Mr. Addams' lectures will be as numerously attended as any which have preceded them, at this popular Institution. SELECT EXTRACTS. SINGULAR ANECDOTE.—And here we heard a little anec dote so pretty anu su IllUtal lit j .. m . --la —or. upon any account, omit relating it to you :—About ten days ago, one of the farm-keeper's wives was going homewards through the wood, when she saw a roebuck running towards her with great speed. Thinking that it was going to attack her with its horns, she was considerably alarmed ; but, at the distance of a few paces, the animal stopped, and disap peared among the bushes. The woman -recovered herself, and was proceeding on her way, when the roebuck appeared again, ran towards her as before, and again retreated, with out doing her any harm. On this being done a third time, the woman was induced to follow it till it led her to the side of a deep ditch, in which she discovered a young roebuck unable to extricate itself, and on the point of being smothered in the water. The woman immediately endeavoured to rescue it, during which the other roebuck stood by quietly, and, as soon as her exertions were successful, the two ani mals galloped away together.—Life and Correspondence of M. G. Lewis. CAOUTCHOUC HORSE SHOES.—We said last week that horses were not yet to be shoed with felt; it seems, however, that they are to be shod with India rubber. The Veterina rian says—" The well-known elasticity of this substance, together with the analogy of its nature and consistence with the natural state of some parts of the foot, seem to point it out not only as a remedy in abnormal states of this organ, but as a conservative application in its more healthy condi tion. To the physical property of elasticity, although only partially possessed by leather, may be attributed the chief benefit, if not all the advantages, derived from the use of it : it is a spring interposed between the shoe and the foot, which, diminishing the force of concussion, obviates a portion of its evil effects. Caoutchouc is a non-conductor of electricity, and probably may possess some protective influence over the various delicate tissues and beautiful organization of the foot. The debilitating effect of metallic contact is known and well appreciated by the human physician." ADVANTAGES OF CULTIVATION.—Vegetation, when as sisted by human contrivances, is the best possible means of improving the air, and rendering a country fitter for the abode of mankind. Cultivation removes the corruption and decaying vegetables ' • and by turning them under the earth, makes them nourish the ground, instead of poisoning the air. Many British colonies, at one time so deadly, are now healthy, not so much from the care of the new corner, in avoiding the remote causes of dise, as from the greater number of these causes being removed by cultivation. I mean here, by cultivation, that treatment of the land by which it will furnish the largest possible quantity of food for man and the domestic animals he employs ; wherever we find corn capable of growing, that country is, or by human labour may be made, healthy. Cultivation, likewise, always renders a country warmer, for a large quantity of vegetable matter is raised on a given space ; and what is vegetable life but the conversion of certain gases, oxygen, hydrogen, azote, and carbonic acid into solid matter, and a change of form—an alteration from a rarer to a denser state— : which must be ac companied by the extrication of .heat? What is it that makes living vegetables so difficult of being frozen, compared to dead ones, but this constant formation and existence of caloric in them ? As an example of the evolution of heat, by the process of vegetation, it may be mentioned, that, on looking into a wood in spring, we shall find the small plants more advanced in size and strength than those of the plains. —Saturday Magazine. ROBERT MACAIRE.—The male beggar of fashion is not so well known among us in Paris, where street-doors are open, six or eight families live in a house, and the gentleman who earns his livelihood by this profession can make half a dozen visits without the trouble of knocking from house to house, and the pain of being observed by the whole street, while the footman is examining him from the area. Some few may be seen in England about the inns of court, where the locality is favourable ; but Paris is full of such adven turers—fat, smooth-tongued, and well-dressed, with gloves and gilt-headed canes, who would almost be insulted by the offer of silver, and expect your gold as their right. Among these, of course, our friend Robert plays his part ; and an excellent engraving represents him, snuff-box in hand, ad vancing to an old gentleman, whom, by his poodle, his pow dered air, and his drivelling stupid' look, one knows to be a Carlist of the old regime. " I beg pardon," says Robert, " is it really yourself to whom I have the honour of speaking ?" "It is." Do you take snuff ?" " I thank you." " Sir, I have had misfortunes—l want assistance. lam a Vendean of illustrious birth. You know the family of Mucairbec—we are of Brest. My grandfather served the king in his gaileys —my father and I also belong to the marine. Unfortunate suits at law have plunged us into difficulties, and I do not hesitate to ask you for the succour of ten francs." " Sir, I never give to those I don't know." " Right, sir, perfectly right. Perhaps you will have the kindness to lend me ten francs ?"—London and Westminster Review. MANY-COLOURED STARS.—The light of the stars is by no means uniform : the ray of Sirius, for instance, differs not merely in intensity, but in kind from the ray of Vega; and in countries where the atmosphere is less humid and hazy tridn ours, the difference is striking to the naked eye—one star shining as an emerald, another as a ruby, and the whole heavens sparkling as with various gems. This attribute of variety of colours also characterises the double stars ; but the remarkable thing is, that in many instances, when one is of one marked colour, its companion is of the opposite. In stances abound in which a red and green star are associated, or a yellow and blue. When the stars are of different degrees of brilliancy, this contrast may originate in an optical delu sion—in that tendency which disposes the eye, when gazing on any bright colour, to endow fainter objects near it with the opposite or complimentary colour by way of relief ; but the explanation is not universally borne out,' inasmuch as many couples, in precisely similar circumstances, show no such contrast. Sir John Herschell was at first decidedly in clined to attribute this phenomenon to an actual difference of colour ; and although he has since—perhaps -on good grounds —half relinquished that conclusion, we have the acquiescing testimony of Struve, founded on observations with the Dor pat telescope, whose clearness has never yet been rivalled - , so that we may not absolutely part with the early pleasing specu lations of the British astronomer. "It may easier be sug gested in words," says Sir John, " than conceived in imagi nation, what variety of illumination two stars—a red and a green, or a yellow and blue one—must afford a planet circu lating around either ; and what cheering contrasts and grate ful vicissitudes, a red and green day, for instance, alternating with a white one and with darkness, might arise from the presence or absence of one or other, or both, from the horizon !"—Dr. Nicol's View of the.. Architecture of the Heavens. THE LATE REV. DR. VYAUGFI AND THE SECEDERS. — Dr. Waugh could enjoy an innocent joke with as much zest as any one ; and few men could tell a humorous story with better effect. A reverend friend of his has told me that he has often heard him relate a short amusing anecdote, though at the expence of the body to which he belonged. The anec dote was this. A worthy but blunt old man, living in the part of Scotland from which Dr. Waugh came, had been so sand-blind from his youth, as to be unable to read without the help of glasses of a greatly magnifying power, and even then not without difficulty and pain. Being, however, a lover of the scriptures, he made one of hit sons, a little boy about thirteen years of age, read a portion of them every night. The old man I should here remark, was a most rigid seceder. He could scarcely be brought to‘admit that piety could exist among any other body of christians. One evening, before goitig'to bed,- his son was reading the usual chapter, and, happening to light on that one in Timothy, in which it is said that the time will come when " wicked men and evil seducers shall wax worse and worse," the boy by mistake —and we all know such mistakes will happen—read " se ceders," for the word " seducers." "Eh ! fats that ye say, laddie ? " exclaimed the worthy old man, in his own hasty manner. " Just read that verse again." The boy read the verse a second time, and again fell into the same error. " Just let me see the buik," said the honest but blunt se ceder ; and as he spoke he hastily stretched - out his hand and snatched the Bible from the hands of his son. His glasses were forthwith produced, and got some half-dozen extra rubs with his handkerchief before he adjusted them on his nose. He looked at the verse, and seeing but very imperfectly com menced spelling the word. " Se—se—se—." He then, owing to his deficient vision, mistook the three intervening letters, " dud," but read the remaining three, " ers," quite correctly. Finding that the two first and the three last let ters of the word answered for the term " seceders," the poor man thought that was actually the word., His confusion on thus fancying that the denomination to which he belonged, was expressly condemned in one of the epistles of St. Paul, was inexpressible. He uttered or rather half-uttered, a sig nificant humph," and followed it up with the remark, clos ing the book as he spoke. " Johnny, lad, that 'll do for the nicht."—The Metropolitan Pulpit; by the Author of" Ran dom Recollections." GRAFTING TREES FOR NEW VARIETIES.—Every pro prietor of a landed estate is either a planter, or possesses trees already planted. If he is in the former case, he will learn from this work to combine beauty with utility, by planting, in the outer margins of his natnral woods or artifi cial plantations, and along the open rides in them, and in the hedgerows of his lanes and public roads, trees which are at once highly ornamental and more or less useful—in some cases, perhaps, ever more useful—than the common indige nous trees for which they are substituted. If, on the other hand, his estate is already fully planted, he will learn from this work how he may beautify his plantations by a mode which never yet has been applied in a general way to forest trees—viz., by heading down large trees of the common spe cies, and grafting on them foreign species of the same genus. This is a common practice in orchards of fruit trees ; and why it should not be so in parks, and pleasure grounds, along the margins of woods, and in the trees of hedgerows, no other reason can be assigned than that it has not hitherto been generally thought of. Hawthorn hedges are common everywhere ; and there are between twenty and thirty beau tiful species and varieties of thorn in our nurseries which might be grafted on them. Why should not proprietors of wealth and'taste desire their gardeners to graft some of the rare and beautiful sorts of tree thorns on the common haw thorn bushes, at intervals, so as to form standard trees, in such of their hedges as border public roads ? And why should not the scarlet oak and the scarlet acer be grafted OR the common species of these genera, along the margins of woods and plantations ? Such improvements the more strongly recommend themselves, because to many they would involve no extra expense, and in every case the effect would be almost immediate. —Loudon's Aboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum. • , Ipping iintritignut.

EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.—One of those dreadful ac cidents, so common in mining districts, occurred at an iron stone pit near the Donnington Wood Furnaces, two miles from Wellington, about five o'clock on Thursday evening. There were four men at work at the bottom of the shaft—viz. Gabriel and Barzilla Pickering, (two brothers,) James Dawes, and John Ball ; and as soon as it was ascertained what had occurred, two men volunteered to go down, and ascertain the fate of the men ; but on proceeding bout twenty yards, owing to the great accumulation of sulphuretted and carburetted hydrogen gas in the shaft, they were obliged to be pulled up. The scene which presented itself at the mouth of the mine is stated to be distressing in the extreme, when the disfigured remnants of the miners were exposed to the assembled thousands. MACHINERY IN INDIA.—A Calcutta paper says, "We are glad to see that the increasing demand for machinery is likely to be supplied in the neighbourhood of Calcutta, with out the necessity of waiting till orders sent to England can be executed. By an advertisement in our page, it will be seen that the Cossipore foundry will undertake not only the ordinary work which has hitherto been executed here, but also the manufacture of land and marine steam-engines not exceeding thirty-horse power, and also iron steam-boats r.nri Ms is. indeed, a new era in the an nals of Indian art, and will, we thine, not a UMW surprise our friends in England, who imagine that we are dependent on them for every description of iron -work, down to a box nail. We wish the enterprising proprietor of the Cossipore foundry the most complete success, as we look upon his un dertaking as one of national importance, cheap machinery being now almost a necessary of civilised life.—Oriental Herald. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 14. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coast 'wise, and frnm Foreign Forts, since this day week, have again been very small ; but the demand for all kinds of Grain has con tinued very limited at the prices then quoted, excepting for Flour and Oatmeal, for which there has been a better sale, and on which an advance of about is per respective sack has been obtained, here, and in our country markets, during the past week. The weather has been unseasonably cold, and rain is still very much wanted throughout this district. The only alteration since Friday in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports is a decrease on Rye and Pease of is 6d per quarter. Some few sales of Flour and Oats in bond have been made for ex port at our quotations. The import has been considerably increased by arrivals yesterday of Wheat, Flour, Barley and Pease from the Baltic, which for the present go into bond At this day's market sales were more languid than anticipated, in some degree influenced by the decline in Mark lane yesterday of about 2s per quarter on Wheat, sales of which were effected here to a very limited extent at about our last quota tions, whilst for Oats and Oatmeal and also for Four the advance above noted was obtained, and for Beans. Pease, Malt and Barley for Malting and Grinding, last quoted prices were supported. At the close of the market about-1000 brls of Baltimore Flour, of mid. dling quality, were sold by auction at 34s 3d to 34s 10d per brl. duty free. WHEAT, per 701bs English Scotch. Irish...
