vottrp. HBRO AND LEANDER. Leander, conducted by Love, Whose new star on the deep he descried, As he swam, to the hurricanes cried, That hollowly bellowed above, " Let me land where yon flambeau doth burn ; " Oh ! drown me not till my return !" The deaf tempest wrought its despite On the fair and the faithful that night, And Passion's bright torch was no more Than a funeral light on the shore. Young Hero beheld how he died, Nor looked twice, but plunged deep in the tide ! Death alone could teach them to forget, When they coldly and silently met ; When to them the wild Hellespont gave A bride-bed, and death-bed, and grave! SHAMROCK Liverpool, November, 1839. MY RING. Remembrance of my early love ! I gaze on thee with pure delight ; Where'er I stray, wbere'er I rove, Still thou art dear unto my sight. No polish'd stone, no jewel rare, Allures me to thy welcome face ; Yet still thou art more costly far Than if thou didst a gem embrace For she that did the gift confer, I know doth truly love me well ; I look on thee and think of her, And feel a joy I cannot tell. And while tny atm a nerve contains, Or while there 's blood to swell my heart ; While yet a spark of life remains, , From me thou !lover shalt depart. Liverpool, Nov. 22d, 18311. NATIONAL EDUCATION. O for the coming of that glorious time When, prizing knowledge as her noblest wealth . And best protection, this imperial rutin, While she exacts allegiance, shall admit An obligation, on her part, to teach Them who are poor to serve her and obey ; Binding herself by statute, to secure For all the children whom her soil maintains The rudiments of letters, and inform The mind with moral and religious truth, Both understood and practised—so that none, However destitute, be left to droop By timely culture unsustained ; or run Into a wild disorder ; or be forced To drudge through a weary life without the help Of intsHectual implements and toile ; A savage horde among the civilised, A servile band among the lordly free This sacred right, the lisping babe proclaims To be inherent in him, by Heaven's will, For the protection of his innocence; And the rude boy, who, having overpast The sinless age, by conscience is enrolled, Yet mutinously knits his angry brow, And-lifts his wilfal hand, on mischief bent, Or turns his godlike faculty of speech To impious use—by process indirect ' Declares his due, while he makes known his need. This sacred right is fruitlessly announced, `This universal plea in vain addressed, To eyes and ears of parents, who themselves Did, in the time of their necessity, Urge it in vain ; and, therefore, like a prayer That from the humblest door ascends to heaven, It mounts to reach the state's parental ear; Who, if irrdeed....she own a mother'. heart, • And he not woe, aufgatingly devoid . Of gratitude to Yreviitence, will grant • The unquestionable woo4l—which, England, safe From iaterferenen of exharnel force, May grant at leisure; without risk ineurred That whet in wisdom for herself she (loth, Othess shall e'er be able to undo. • Look_! and behold, from Calpe's sun-burnt cliffs • To the tilt margin of the Baltic Sea, Long-reverenced titlescast sway - as weeds ; Laws ovorturaed ;...and territory split, • Like fields of lee rent by the polar wind, And forced to join in lees obnoxious shapes, That, ere they gain consistence, by a gust Of the alum breath are shattered and destroyed. Meantime the sovereignty of these fair isles Remains entire and indivisible ; And, if that ignorance were removed, which breeds Within the compass of their several shores Dark discontent, or loud commotion, each Might still preserve the beautiful repose Of heavenly bodies shining in their spheres ! The discip li ne of slavery is unknown Among us—hence the more do we require The discipline of virtue; order else Cannot subsist, nor confidence, nor peace. Thus, duties rising out of good possest, And prudent caution needful to avert Impending evil, equally require That the whole people should be taught and trainad. So shall licentiousness and black resolve Be rooted out, and virtuous habits take Their place; and genuine piety descend, Like an inheritance, from age to age ! —tfordsworth's Excursion, Book IX. (published in 1614. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE NEW POSTAGE REGULATIONS.- (From the Morning Herald.) cfigititothrcereVasortia- Arritaerefitgrerefieth at the Post-office. A more incongruous—a less intel ligible scheme—never (and that is a bold phrase) ema nated from the brains of " liberal philosophers." The immediate diminution of the revenue will be irnmen'se; the increase of toil and trouble to all con cerned iu the administration of Post-office duties will prove incalculable. The number of clerks and letter carriers must be trebled, or quadrupled; and let the number of these functionaries be multiplied as it may, we question whether the cleverest amongst them will ever thoroughly comprehend their multifarious and contradictory duties. This simple and uniform plan will be found to. exhi bit, in operation, all sorts of irregularities and anoma lags. Inland letters, letters for the continent, letters for the colonies, letters tor America, will all be treated on a different system. The most absurd distinctions about the weight of letters present themselves, in fact, • to every reader of the new Post-office manifesto. Let the following profound regulations be carefully Considered by the advocates of " cheap" postage : " On letters not exceeding half an ounce, there will be. taken one rate of postage. " On .letters above half an ounce, and not exceeding one ounce, two rates of postage. " On letters above one ounce, and not exceeding two ounces, four rates of postage. " On letters above two ounces, and not exceeding three three ounces,'six rates othpostage. • On lelters above three *Dances, and not exceeding four ounces, eight rates of postage. " And so in proportion. • " Postmasters should bear in mind, however, that after the first ounce in the annexed scale, no distinction is made be . tween the ounce and a fraction of an ounce. A letter, for instance, which turns the ounce weight, is liable to four rates of postage ; and a letter weighing a fraction above two ounces, ....is liable to six rates of postage, and so cm." This proposed double postage will, obviously, be evaded by the simple expedient of dividing each of the "heavy" letters specified into two of half the weight; but then, what the authors of this scheme may lose in the shape, of revenue, they hope to gain in the appa relEincrease of correspondence ! Vie following regulation iuvolves a very unfair in terference with that freedom of choice which ought to be conceaecl to all "letter-writers." Al,, letters etceediwg the weight of an ounce (with the exception of letters addressed to France) most have the post age paid in advance. Should the postage not be paid in ad vance, the letters must be charged with double the rates to which they would otherwi.e be liable." "Why should people be compelled to pay in advarice the postage on any letter And why, if p os t age be forehand ought to be paid, should it be paid on letters above an ounce, more than on letters of half the weight ? Is the object of the framers of the act to swell by this device also, the apparent amount of corre spondence ? In this, as in all their other schemes, the whigs are likely to the established order of things, with out introducindL the faintest shadow of real " reform." Under the nevaost-office arrangements all will be con fusion; uncertainty, and delay. Existing habits of bu siness will be interfered with. The Post-office itself will become a chap/. An important branch of the re venue wit! be placed in jeopardy. New taxes will be tendered necessary j and after the derangement, to a .scarcely calculable extent, of the machinery of corre spondence that now exists in England, we shall be compelled, iu all probability, to grope our.way back, tkongla corresponding difficulties, to the old system, or to something like it. The worst feature in the case, as far as the whigs are concerned, is their utter dishonesty in consenting to introduce Mr. Rowland Hill's plan. Ministers, and all their independent placemen, are aware that the whole affair is a delusion. They are no converts to the soundness of -the principles on which that scheme pro fesses to rest. They struggled against the penny-pos tme project as long as they dared, but they never dared to assert the claims of truth at the cost of a few radi cal or Popish votes. Mr. Warburton and his party fairly bullied the late Chancellor of the Exchequer into acquiescence in this notable scheme of the liberal" party. Mr. Spring Rice consented to adopt the plan. He and him colleagues thought that they might earn a little popularity amongst the 'liberals" by timely com pliance; and they calculated on being relieved by the successful opposition of the conservative party, at once from the odium of resisting Mr. Hill's scheme, and from the serious dangers attendant on its adoption. In this hope they were disappointed. The conservatives have left to "liberals" the responsibility of asserting " liberal" principles in matters of revenue. On " li beral" heads must the whole blame of failure rest 1 THE GLASGOW PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. (From the Scottish Guardian.) Last week we announced it as probable that the citizems of Glasgow would, ere long,.have an opportu nity of listening to the stirring eloquence of that noble champion of Protestantism, the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, of Liverpool. We are delighted to have it now in our power to speak with confidence on this subject. The meeting of the Glasgow Protestant Association is fixed for the evening of Wednesday next, and Mr. M‘Neile will move the principal resolution. We have no doubt the friends of Protestant truth, and of our Protestant constitution., will eagerly avail themselves of the op, portunity of hearing these momentous subjects discussed t) 3 7 one of the ablest men and most accomplished orators itTe prom; day, Thv inflow§ Mr, Mqvoilv bag exerted in England, in the way of reviving and extend ing Protestant feeling, is immense ; and surely all must acknowledge that we greatly need such a salutary in fluence here. Nothing is half so alarming as the supineness and indifference on this subject, which so lamentably prevail. Popery is becoming every day more bold and insolent in its pretensions, and yet men look on with unfatuated unconcern. At this moment it is convulsing what was lately one of the most united nations in Europe—the kingdom of Prussia—with its arrogant and intolerant spirit. It is but a few years ago since it succeeded, by its intrigues, in rending Holland and Belgium asunder. Even Russia is menaced with the "allocutions" of the Vatican. At home,- he must be blind indeed that does not see the same insi dious power busily, and too successfully, prosecuting its treacherous designs. It is truly high time for Pro testants to awake out of sleep; and we fondly hope that the great meeting of Wednesday next will not only create a powerful sensation, but leave a permanent influence behind. A similar meeting is to be held the same week in Edinburgh. We trust that in Glasgow our leading citizens will show that they look to Pro testantism as the key-stone which binds the great, arch of the British Constitution, by coming forward on the approaching occasion and identifying themselves with the cause the meeting is intended to promote. The Lord Provost—as becomes the chief magistrate of a city so long renowned for its zealous attachment to the Protestant interest—has, we rejoice to hear, consented to take the chair. Since writing the above, we rejoice to learn that there is every reason to expect the poWerful assistance of Dr. Cooke at the meeting of Wednesday. All Pro testants, and especially those of the Church of Scot land are under a deep debt of gratitude to that dis tingethed man. He has been, both in Ireland and in England, on innumerable important occasions, the Church of Scotland's representative, so to speak, in maintaining the Protestant cause. Few men are more fitted for such a task, for few in the present day inhe rit more of the spirit of our Presbyterian forefathers, whose zeal and determination in contending with Anti christ will be remembered and revered while Scotland. eDdures. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE ADJUTANT GENERAL TO THE FORCES AND COLONEL THOMAS, M.P. (From the Standard.) The following order of Lord Hill appears in the Morning Chronicle of this day. We annex to it copies of the corres pondence of Colonel Thomas with the Horse Guards. In making public this correspondence we do not act by Colonel Thomas's authority, or even with his knowledge. The correspondence was communicated some time since by the Colonel to his friend, not for the purpose of publication, but in order, as we believe, to obtain the advice of the gen tleman to whom it was addressed. Some copies were taken for the use of other friends : that from which we print has been in our possession more than a week, but we have with held it until the case should be finally disposed of. It is now printed on our sole responsibility. If there is breach of trust, we are the guilty parties. It is necessary to say so much in order to acquit the military genileman concerned of any par ticipation in our act, should it give offence at the Horse Guards; otherwise we need no apology for publishing docu ments necessary to vindicate the gallant men censured by Lord Hill from the suspicion of having resorted to unworthy means to escape punishment. The censure of the noble lord is not indeed in itself seybre. It comes to this, that military men act wrong in attending at public meetings at which, by any possibility, improf*r lan guage can be used, or to the speakers at which improper language can be ascribed, even by garbled or wholly false re ports. In short, that military men act wrong in attending any public meetings. Whether this is or is not a good mi litary doctrine, we cannot pretend to say ; but it certainly is not the doctrine of Sir John Hobhouse, who would have every soldier a politician—and it is a doctrine that has long slept, as the practice of Sir Ronald Ferguson, Col. Napier, Col. Thompson, and a hundred others abundantly testifies. We have a grateful recollection of the services of Lord Hill, and an admiration of his character—services and character ranking below those of the Duke of Wellington alone—which assure us that having revived this rigid rule, his lordship will enforce it impartially. It is no discredit, perhaps, to one in his lordship's position, that, urged as he has been to carry the ministerial vengeance beyond the bounds of all justice, he has gone as far as the strict rules of military justice will per mit—a course which must have this good effect, that the silence of gentlemen engaged in the military service of the country can be no longer misinterpreted as approving of the system pursued by the Queens advisers. REPRIMAND BY LORD HILL OF COLONEL THOMAS, MAJOR MACLEAN, CAPTAIN AINSLIE, AND OTHER OFFICERS. Horse Guards, Nov. 20, 1839. Sir,—By Lord Hill's desire, I have the honour to com municate to you his lordship's sentiments and decision upon a case which has lately occurred in the district under your command, which has occasioned his lordship the utmost concern, and of which the following are the facts : On Wednesday, the 30th ultimo, a meeting, called " The Conservative Association," was assembled at Ashton-under- Lyne, at whieh Colonel Thomas, Major Maclean, and other officers of the 20th Regiment, as well as Captain Ainslie, of the Royal Dragoons, were present. One of the speeches spoken upon that occasion having been reported to have contained expressions insulting and disrespectful towards her Majesty, Colonel Thomas was re quired, by the General Commanding-in-Chief, to state whe ther he had heard those expressions, and, if he had, whether he had expressed disapprobation of them. Colonel Thomas positively denies having heard these ex pressions (as does Captain Ainslie also for himself), but is unable to state what the expressions used by the speaker alluded to really were, or to show that their tenor was re w"TratPlarrit,TiOlihrittilirdliter onm,u, a •••- •.- _ who were present, state that they " cannot vouch for parti cular expressions used by Mr. Roby upon that occasion." In reference to the above facts, it is most painful to Lord Hill to observe that, upon their own showing, Colonel Tho mas and the other officers in question have placed themselves in the mortifying predicament of being obliged to confess that they lent their presence to a meeting of a strong party character, at which expressions were uttered which they are unprepared to prove the propriety of towards the person of their Sovereign. In this state of a case, on every account very distressing to him, it remains for Lord Hill but to order that you con vey to Colonel Thomas, and to every other officer belonging to the forces now serving under your command, who was present upon the above occasion, the expression of his lord ship's most pointed and decided displeasure, reminding them that, as military servants, they are bound to confine them selves to their military duties; and that when they thus venture to connect themselves with any party association, under any circumstances, or upon tiny pretence whatsoever, they incur a heavy responsibility, and expose themselves to the heaviest blame. In Colonel Thomas's first letter to the Adjutant General upon this unpleasant subject, he states that he was invited by this Conservative Association " as a member of parliament." In reference to that part of the colonel's statement, I have it specially in command to declare that, whilst Lord Hill yields to no one in respect for the privileges of a member of parlia ment, his lordship will not suffer any officer of the army to build his justification upon them, when he thinks fit to resort to a measure calculated to compromise the character and dis cipline of his profession. - Lord Hill thinks it scarcely necessary to add that the pro hibition to attend party meetings, in their military capacity (except when on duty and in aid of the civil authorities of the country,) applies to the officers of the army at large. His lordship's final orders are, that you, on receipt hereof, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, without subject ing the public service to injury or inconvenience, proceed to Ashton-under-Lyne, and there assemble the officers of the 20th Regiment (commanding Captain Ainslie's presence like wise,) reading this letter to them, and intimating to them that his lordship will allow no further discussion of a subject which has already been exhausted by official correspondence, upon which no new facts can be elicited, and upon which, therefore, his opinions are settled and immutable. . . I have, &c., (Signed) JOHN MACDONALD, A.G. Major General Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., &c., &c., Nottingham. " Horse Guards, Nov. 8, 1839. " Sir,—Lord Hill's attention having been attracted by a report published in the accompanying impression of the Times newspaper of the 2d instant, of speeches made at a meeting denominated ' a Conservative Association,' at Ashton-under- Lyne, on Wednesday, the 30th ult., in one of which speeches, more particularly that made by Mr. Roby, expressions most insulting and disrespectful towards the Queen are stated to have been uttered on that occasion, and that in your hearing, as well as in the hearing of other officers now employed in the northern district, I have received Lord Hill's commands to point out these expressions to you, and to desire that, on re ceipt hereof, you acquaint me, for his lordship's information, whether you heard them, and, if you did, whether you ex pressed your disapprobation thereof upon hearing them. " I am to add that it is most painful to Lord Hill to know that officers of the army were present on such air occasion ; but that his lordship will refrain from passing any opinion on the case until you shall have furnished such explanation re lative thereto, as you may be prepared to submit for his con sideration. " The expressions to which this letter alludes are tran scribed in red ink in the margin. " You will be pleased to return the newspaper with your answer. (Signed) " J. MACDONALD, A.G." (Extracts referred to.)

" Stockport, Nov. 9, 1839. " Sir,--I have had the honour to receive your letter of yes terday's date, calling upon me to state, for Lord Hill's in formation, whether I beard certain expressions quoted in the margin of that letter, as most insulting and disrespectful towards the Queen, and purporting to he an extract from a speech made by Mr. Roby, at a meeting • denominated' a Conservative association, at Ashton-under-Lyne, on the 30th. " Ph reply I beg to state, that without pretending to be able to determine with any degree of certainty, the correct ness of isolated expressions extracted from reports of speecies delivered on the occasion referred to, I can with confidence assert, that the whole tenor of Mr. Roby's speech at that dinner breathed a high spirit of loyalty to the monarchy ; and I beg further to add that as no expression uttered by that gentleman conveyed to my mind that the slightest disrespect, much less insult, was offered or intended to the Queen, there appeared no ground for the expression of my disapprobation, and I had flattered myself that my long and faithful services of upwards of one-and-forty years might have assured Lord Hill that I would not have been wanting had such an im pression been received by me. " I have to lament that the knowledge of officers having been present on such an occasion should be painful to Lord Hill. With reference to myself, I was honoured with an invitation as a member of parliament to meet Sir F. Burdett, which I could have no hesitation in accepting. " The prompt reply demanded has prevented me from having any communication with the other officers, who I understood, when I met them at the dinner, were invited as an acknowledgment, on the part of the neigbouring gentry, of the high sense they entertained of their services in support of the magistracy, and the protection they afforded to life and property during the Chartist disturbances, . and which was conveyed in the most gratifying terms when their health was proposed.

" Sir,—l do myself the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, conveying to me Lord Hill's express desire, that in my answer to your letter of the 12th instant, I shall confine myself to the simple denial or (admis sion) required of me by that communication, omitting the words—' Which, in my opinion, is a garbled report of what that gentleman did say in his speech at the Ashton dinner.' " Having in my letter of the 9th instant " asserted with confidence that the whole tenor of Mr. Roby's speech on the occasion referred to, breathed a high spirit of loyalty to the monarchy, and that no expression uttered by that gentleman conveyed to my mind, that the slightest disrespect, much less insult, offered or intended to the Queen, and that consequently there appeared no grounds for the expression of my disap probation, which would not have been wanting if such an impression had been received by me :' " Having further stated in my letter of the 14th instant, That I did not hear the particular expressions on the occa sion referred' to,' and quoted in the margin of your letter of the Bth inst., which in my opinion is a garbled report of what that gentleman did say in his speech at the Ashton dinner : " I now beg to acquaint you, for the information of Lord Hill, that with the greatest respect and submission to the Commander-in-Chief, I have nothing further to offer in ex planation ; nothing to retract or omit from what I have already stated, and I stand upon my character as a soldier, and my birthright as a gentleman, which I cannot help feeling have been reflected upon by most unmerited suspicion.

MEMORIAL OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND MANUFACTURES OF THE CITY OF GLAS GOW TO THE LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY. Respectfully showeth, that the improvement of the means of commithication with the West Indies and South America has become extremely desirable, and the extensive connex ions of the merchants and manufacturers of this city with these countries render it to them a subject of peculiar interest. While, therefore, they have received with great satisfaction the announcement of your lordships' intention to employ steam-vessels for that purpose, they regret to observe that the arrangement they have prescribed to the respectable par ties who have undertaken to perform the service is in some respects very objectionable : and, not doubting that it is still open for consideration, they presume to offer the following remarks upon the same, to which they solicit your lordships' attention. The first object, in establishing steam communication with the transatlantic countries, ought to be to secure the best possible intercourse with and among the British possessions. The port of departure from Great Britain ought to be con venient for the whole of the United Kingdom. . _ The port of rendezvous beyond the Atlantic ought to be in a British colony conveniently situate for all. No material deviation from the direct course to each colony ought to be made without necessity. The course of post ought to be as short as possible, and every ,colony ought to have an opportunity of replying by the same return steaming. Upon a careful examination of the plan prescribed to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, it appears that these important considerations have not been duly regarded, and that a much better arrangement is practicable with the same number of steamers they intend to employ, and without any additional expense—nay, with very great advantage to the company, as well as to the vast interests concerned. It is difficult to perceive any reason why the letters and passengers for the most important of our West India co lonies—Jamaica, and those for South America, the Gulf of Mexico, and other places to leeward, should be carriedAo far to the southward as Barbadoes—then still further out of their course to Grenada—afterwards northward, to St. Thomas's, round Hayti, to St. Jago de. Cuba, before proceeding to King ston. There is no necessity whatever for this great deviation ; indeed, it is not even the best mode of distributing the let ters and passengers for most of the intermediate places men tioned. Those for St. Thomas's and Porto Rico need not be taken southward to Grenada ; those for_ Hayti will be landed at the most inconvenient points of that great island, from which they, will have to be conveyed a considerable distance, with unnecessary expense and delay.. Samana, a mere village, is remote from every place of business; and Cape Nichoa Mole, another insignificant place, is also very distant. In regard to the Leeward Islands, and the adjacent continen tal colonies, the plan is still more objectionable. It is pro posed, as if it were an advantage, that they shall most of them have fifteen days to r e ply ; hereas such a delay is, of course, a serious grievance. A few of them are to have an opportunity of replying to Great Britain in 43 days ; while the major number, including the most important, are to be subjected to 57 days. This delay and inequality are both un necessary. One British possession —Honduras—to which our exports are very considerable, is excluded from any commu nication except through the unimportant foreign port of Trinidad de Cuba, and that only by the uncertain convey anceof a schooner once a mesath. With respect to the port of departure, Portsmouth, or Southampton, however suitable for London, would be a very inconvenient station for the rest of the kingdom. The pas sengers, generally, would have long and tedious journies to perform ; and as regards correspondence, it will be seen by reference to the first example given in the " route table " of the steam-packet company, that the steamer departing from " a port in the English Channel " on the 2d of June is ex - petted to return thither on the 28th of July. If this estimate prove correct, the letters will be in London on the 29th of July, and may be answered by the next outgoing steamer on the Ist of August ; but a great portion of the kingdom will be deprived of this opportunity, and forced to wait 15 or 16 days more for the subsequent packet. In looking with impartiality for the most desirable port of . departure,. Liverpool occurs at once, not only as being the most central, but as most accessible to every part of the kingdom. On the other hand, Antigua is in the direct course to Jamaica. It possesses every advantage that can be attri buted to Grenada. It would be more conveniently touched than Grenada by outward bound vessels for Jamaica, Hon duras, or the cotton ports, for the purpose of landing coals. It is ' considering its windward position, the nearest point of departure that could be selected for all the colonies. It appears to• the directors of this chamber that every ob jection may be removed, and very great improvement upon the pro po sed pytneffected, by adopting the following arrange the ocean steamer in the fir'st instaiice tc: arrival there to transfer to two branch steamers all the mails and passengers for the colonies and places to the southward of that island, and proceed immediately to Nevis, St. Kitt's, Tortola, St. Thomas's, St. Johns, Porto Rico, by the Mona passage, to Jacmel, and Kingston, Jamaica—viz. . _ .

Kingston to Chagres, Carthagena, Santa Martha, and back to Kingston, with stoppages, twice every month The same steamer that performs this service may also make an intermediate voyage between the periods of arrival of the ocean steamers from Kingston to St. Jago de Cuba, and back to Kingston . 2. Kingston to Honduras and llavannah, stopping at Honduras one day.. .... Stop at Havannah Havannah to Kingston. . 11 The communications from Havannah with Vera Cruz, Tampico, New Orleans, Mobile, and Halifax, as proposed in the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's plan; for, though the interests of British commerce do not seem to require any regular intercourse between Havannah and New Orleans and Mobile, yet it will afford some facility without disadvantage. The intercourse with Nassau is very trifling, and the best means of maintaining it would be by a schooner to and from Havannah twice every month, to meet the steamers. She might convey light freight, and thus diminish the expense. It is quite unnecessary to incur any charge for a packet com munication with Crooked Island or Turk's Island. As the service in the Leeward Islands and adjacent conti nental colonies would be performed by two instead of three steamers, it is proposed to employ the one thus saved in maintaining a regular and direct intercourse between Antigua, Nevis, St. Kitt s, St. Croix, Tortola, St. Thomas's, Ber muda, and Halifax—which passage will occupy eight days, establishing prompt communications among the commanders of our principal garrisons in the Transatlantic colonies, and affording, besides the accommodation to merchants, frequent and desirable means of enjoying a change of climate without a long absence from professional employment. There would also be a saving of two schooners. The letters and passen gers would be landed at Jamaica four days sooner ; conse quently there would be a saving not only of time to all par. ties, but also of expense to the Steam-packet Company. The homeward mails may be despatched thence in six days, without regard to the returns from other places. That pe riod will be sufficient, if proper arrangements be made for distributing and collecting the letters within the island ; and it is of much more importance to have for all the colonies a rapid course of post, than that their whole correspondence with Europe should be detained for the mere purpose of affording every country district several days, especially as the letters from those parts are seldom of an urgent nature, and they may hereafter be prepared with great certainty, in anticipation of the arrival of the successive packets. With regard to letters, passengers, and specie destined for Europe from Havannah, Mexico, N. Orleans, and Mobile, it is obvious that as the shortest route will be preferred, so the whole will come, not via' Jamaica, as seems to be contemplated, but vid Halifax. From Havannah to Halifax the steamers will oc cupy 9 days, and thence to Liverpool 11 days, being toge ther 20 days ; whereas the plan prescribed to the Steam Company includes the expectation ' of obtaining the letters, passengers, and specie via Jamaica in 27 days. It further supposes that the company will have them outwards to Havannah in 29 days ; but, as it is estimated that the steamers will make the passage from Liverpool to Halifax in 13 days, and the Steam Company's plan calculates the time thence to Havannah in 9 days (though it will probably be 10), it is extremely doubtful whether they will be attracted even by the - shorter course now sug gested, seeing it will require 24 or 25 days. Whatever benefit the company may anticipate from the conveyance of passengers between Havannah and Mexico, and the ports of New Orleans and Mobile, it is clear that they will not carry any part of the European correspondence to or from those ports, inasmuch as the regular post between New York and New Orleans is now ten days, and Mobile nine days ; and either through New York or vid Halifax, their distance from England will be respectively 21 and 22 days ; while viii Jamaica it will be according to your Lordships plan, at least 33 days, and by the course now suggested, 27 or 28 days. In regard to " North American" mails to these ports, the steamers will hardly compete with the regular post ; for they will take at the least six, and probably seven, days from New York to Havannah, and 3 or 4 more thence to Mobile, being together 9 or 11 days, while, as 'before stated, the distance from New York to Mobile by land is 9 days, and it is likely to be considerably reduced by improved means of communi cation now in progresss. With these facts in view, it would be very inexpedient to detain all the correspondence from the * Returning to 4ntigu4 by the same routes taken from that 04144, British colonies, as has been proposed, for a return mail to Europe from Havannah vid Jamaica. In comparing the arrangement now suggested with the plan prescribed by your Lordships, it will be observed that every place of the least importance is included in it ; and that the only places omitted are unworthy of special consideration. These are Curacoa, Samana, Cape Nicholas Mole, and Tri nidad de Cuba. They need not be visited at the sacrifice of a single day. Curacoa is close to Laguayra, arid has hardly any trader—Samana is a village—Cape Nichola Mole has no trade, and if it had, it is as easy to send letters thence to Jacmel, as. to have them conveyed from Jacmel thither. Trinidad de Cuba is an improving place, but it has a regular intercout se by land with Havannah, and• also with St. Jago de Cuba, _ A steamer departing from Liverpool on the 2d of June (the case already quoted) would probably return on the 21st of July : and, even allowing for occasional delay, there would consequently be ample time for replying from every part of the kingdom by the next outgoing steamer on the Ist of August—an object of so much importance, that without it the proposed improvement would be in a great measure frustrated. It may be objected that by bringing the return mails from Jamaica via Antigua, they are not brought in the most direct course. It is true, a very trifling deviation is made ; but it must be remembered that, according to the company's plan, a much greater deviation is proposed, as regards all the lee ward and continental colonies, by carrying their correspond ence and passengers several hundred miles to the westward out of their homeward course, and that the interests and convenience of the whole ought to be fairly considered. The general results obtained would be, a more prompt communication with every British possession, including Honduras and Bermuda; as well as every other place of the least importance—a much more rapid course of post to and from Europe, as well as among the colonies—equal advan ta,tes to the whole of the United Kingdom, and to all places not further westward than Jamaica, of replying by the same steamer, the places beyond Jamaica having at the same time other means of communication still more favourable—an additional communication with Halifax, and thence with North America generally, direct from and to the leeward and continental colonies—a great saving of time to passengers, and consequently of expense to the company. The saving on each voyage being six or seven days, and each steamer being capable of performing six voyages annually, it follows that the annual saving upon each of th ocean steamers would be five or six weeks, which would enable the company.to carry passengers at a cheaper rate, to induce an increase of their number, and yet•to maintain their revenue. . . —. 7 Your memorialists therefore pray, that it may please your lordships to take the premises into your favourable consi deration, with a view to adopt the course here suggested for the West India steam-packets, in so far as it may be con sidered an improvement on the previous plan.

In an age when fine loaves of bread are manufactured from sawdust, and superior wine from rhubarb and turnips, it is surprising that but little advantage has been taken of the na tural production of an insect very common and much dreaded in the West Indies, the capada worm, or insect fly carrier. It is a deadly enemy to the indigo and capada plantations, sometimes destroying whole fields in a night ; a circumstance which gave rise to a saying once current in the western hemi sphere, that the planters of indigo go to bed rich, and rise in the morning beggars. Attention has been turned more to • the most efficient methods of destroying the animal, thgn to turning it to some usefnl purpose. Yet this might ea,ily be done ; for in a certain state it produces a substance which appears to be equal, if not superior, to the finest silk or cot ton. It is of the most dazzling whiteness and the greatest • purity, answering the purpose of lint in the hospitals of the negroes, when silk and vegetable cotton serve only to inflame wounds, by the asperities of their filaments. We abridge an account of it from Burt's " Observations on the Curiosities of Nature ;" a very bad title for an ingenious book. The capada worm, or insect fly carrier, is produced, like the silk-worm, from the eggs which its mother scatters every where, after she has undergone her metamorphosis into a white butterfly. It begins to live at the end of July, and at its birth is arrayed in a robe of the most brilliant and varie gated colours. When on the point of undergoing its meta morphosis in August, it throws off this superb livery, and puts on another of an admirable sea-green hue. This fun damental colour reflects all its various shades, according to the different undulations of the animal, and the different ac cidents of light ; but this new decoration announces the ap proach of a period when it is doomed to undergo great tor tures. It is immediately assailed by a swarm of ichneumon flies, one of which inserts itself into each of the pores of its body, not an opening being left unoccupied. 'All its struggles to get free of its tormentors are in vain. These flies, which are so small that they can only be studied by the microscope, drive their stings into the skin of their victim, over the whole extent of its back and sides. Afterwards, and all at the same moment, they slip their eggs into the bottom of the wounds which they have inflicted. No sooner is this operation per- formed, than the ichneumon flies disappear, and the patient remains for an hour in a drowsy and even motionless state, out of which it awakens to feed with its former voracity. It then appears much larger, and its size increases every day. Its green colour assumes a deeper htie, and the tints produced by the reflection of the light are more strongly marked. About a fortnight after the worm has been encum bered with this factitious pregnancy, the prospect of a nume rous progeny begins to be apparent. By the aid of a micro scope, the eggs may be seen hatching in the body of the animal ; and as they are all produced at the same instant, a single glance reveals the capada worm covered with a living robe of ichneumon flies. They issue from every pore, all. the body being covered with them, only the top of the head appearing bare. Its colour then changes to dirty white, and the little worms assume a black appearance to the eye, although their true colour is a deep brown. This operation lasts about an hour, and it is followed by another, which is not much more protracted, but still more singular. Immediately that the ichneumon worms are hatched, with out quitting the spot where they separate themselves from the eggs, they yield a liquid gum whichbecomes solid on ex posure to the air. At the same time, and by a simultaneous s halZe their heiidi - rine - one — VW or tile& 38M, e MlSl E lm i km% themselves in every direction. And now they commence a very curious operation. Each of these animalcules works himself a small and almost imperceptible cocoon in the shape of an egg, in which he wraps himself up. The formation of these cocoons occupies only about two hours, and myriads of them being crowded close together, form a white robe, with which the capada worm appears ele gantly and comfortabiy - clothed ; but while . they are thus busily arraying him in his new attire, he remains apparently unconscious of their assiduities—he is then in a state of insect paralysis. As soon as this covering has been completed, and the little artists who wove it have retired to their cells, the worm endeavours to rid himself of his officious guests, and the robe which contains them ; but he does not succeed in the attempt without the greatest efforts. At length he contrives to get r;d of the encumbrance ; but instead of his former fat and shining appearance, he presents all the decrepitude of extreme old age. He is flaccid and dull ; his skin is wrinkled and dirty ; and, in short, symptoms of approaching dissolu tion begin to show themselves. He still make 4 a desperate attempt to knave a few leaves, but he no longer' devours them with that voracity which indicates a Vigormis constitution. Shortly afterwards he passes into the state of a chrysalis, and in giVing life to thousands of eggs, he relinquishes his own. The cotton produced in this remarkable manner may be used without any preparatory process, as soon as the flies have quitted the Cocoons, with is generally - eight or ten days after their seclusion. Indeed, there is no need for the precautions which the silk-worm requires; the robe which covers the fly carrier being worked everywhere so perfectly well, and in such abundance that in less than two hours, the quantity of 100 pints has been collected. This highly interesting animal certainly deserves some attention ; for we are not aware that any has been given to it, except in so far as its destruction was concerned. We know not that experiments have been made to weave this silky substance into a wearable tissue ; but, if the description which we have given above be correct, (and there is no reason to doubt but it is) there seems no ob stacle to its being used for this purpose. We may here, notice a singular fact, established by Dr. Mitchell, of New York, that vegetable fungi grow on the bo dies of living insects. He states that these vegetable pro ductions are not peculiar to one insect, but are to be found on the bodies of of the wasp, spbynx, and others ; that the bodies of insects nourish more than one species bf vegetable fungi ; that some of these parasitical plants begin their work of annoyance, like the larvm of the ichneumon, in the body of the living insect, and continue it till the animal is killed by its destructive operations ; that these mixed associations of vegetable with animal life are not prone to rapid putrefaction, but remain long enough to be collected by naturalists, and be come the objects of scientific investigation. Dr. Mitchell seems to be of opinion, that vegetable fungi, in attaching to time insect class of animals, perform an important purpose in the economy of nature, by preventing the inordinate increase of such animals. MR. CHARLES GREEN'S PROPOSITION TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC IN A BALLOON. (From the Chelmsford Journal.) Mr. C. Green has authorised the following statement of the grounds upon which he founds his assertion of the possibility of making a journey in a balloon from New York, across the Atlantic, to Europe. He states that balloons inflated with carburetted hydrogen, or common coal gas, will retain this fluid unimpaired in its buoyancy, and very slightly-dimi nished in quantity, for a great length of time; whilst on the contrary, the pure hydrogen is so subtle a gas, and capable of so great a degree of tenuity, as to escape through the imperceptible pores of the silk, whether prepared in the ordinary manner or by means of dissolved india rubber. These facts are the result of observations made (luring 275 ascents : on many of these occasions a - smaller balloon has been filled at a neighbouring gas works, and has been brought a distance of five or six miles to fill that in which he intended to ascend, retaining, in many instances, its contents nearly the same in quantity and quality for nearly a week. The aeronaut has travelled two thousand nine hundred miles with the same supply 'of gas, and could have continued its use for three months, if necessary. As to making the voyage from America to Europe, Mr. Green dates its possibility from the following facts :—On all occasions in which the balloons in which he or other aeronauts had gained an altitude beyond the lower current of air, or land breezes, they found one uniform current of air coming from the Atlantic, and blovi ing west, north-west, or west by north, whilst the under winds, from different causes, were blowing from points com pletely at variance with the above : the ascent of the machine into these upper currents is perfectly easy, and the same alti tude may be kept for an indefinite time with equal facility. In 1836 Mr. Green made a proposition at Paris to cross the Atlantic in a balloon, when he received a letter from Admiral Sir Sydney Smith, confirming his observations as to the di rections of the upper currents, and in which that gallant officer states his conviction of the safety of the proposed un dertaking, and his readiness to accompany the aeronaut from New York to Europe in his balloon. It must be kept in mind that a balloon is not borne along as is a ship by the force of the wind, having to overcome the impediment inter posed by passing through a denser element like the water, but is a body lighter than the air itself in which it floats, and is wafted at the same speed as the air itself travels, as if it were a part of the moving body. The wide expanse of sea offers no impediment to the undertaking, and a machine as large as the Nassau Balloon could easily be fitted up for the reception of three persons, and victualled for three or four months if necessary. The 'machine could be lowered to the earth and ascend as often as it pleased the voyagers, by the adoption of the same plans as those used in the voyage to Germany. Mr. Green, having established the fact of a cur rent of air continually passing round the earth in the direction of west-north-west, the capability of the machine to re tain the carburetted hydrogen gas for an unlimited time, and of its power of sustaining itself for weeks—under these cir cumstances, and trusting to the faith he has always endea voured to keep with the public as a claim to their confidence, on this occasion, offers to take upon himself to traverse the Atlantic from New York to England in a balloon to be con structed for that purpose, and that he will make the experi ment without a n y rewar d for his exertions. Our amiable contemporary the Globe, at the close of a very elaborate deacription of the weather, yesterday, remarks that the streets were left "in a sloppy, soapy condition." When we remember that the London Police Bill was concocted by Mr. Hawes, we are not surprised to find that the streets are soapy ; only we think it unkind in the Globe to mention the fact.

The Indigo brought to public sale on Wednesday was principally of the Onde and Fig descriptions, low in quality, which sold from 2s ld to 4s ; a few of a better class (Bengal) went at Is Gd to 6s 4d ; not more than 50 chests:were sold, including what was subsequently taken.-10 casks Tincal are reported at 60s, and a few chests or dinary Lac Dye at filth—ln Saltpetre the business is cocfined to 300 bags, at 23s to is, and a similar quantity of Nitrate of Soda at 17s 9d to 18s 6d p r cwt. 1 The small sto k of Logwood on the market enabled holders to realize extreme rates for some time past, but having some arrivals, both direct and indirect, about 140 tons of Campeachy have been sold, at £lO for the former and £9 for indirect. The sales in other descriptions of Woods have been trilling, and without change.— There have been no sales in Turpentine, except 200 to 300 brls in store; at 12s per cwt.—No transactions in Tar have occurred.—For new Pot Ashes there has been a good demand, partly on speculation, and the sales amount to 500 brls, at 24s 6d to 24s 9d, principally from the ship, with a few in store at 255. Some trifling parcels of Pearl Ashes have brought 29s Gd per cwt.—The transactions in Bark have been very trifling, at rather lower prices.—Nothing done in Clover seed or Flaxseed.—A few bales of bleached Cuba Bees' Wax sold at £9 per cwt. duty paid.—Hides. The only sales of the month reach 718 hints ; of which the Trade have taken 413, Irish Dealers and Manufacturers 190, Exporters 95, and Scotch Mannufacturers 20 hhds. Prices have ruled somewhat irregular throughout the month, , but several large importers having refused to accept lower prices, we make but little alteration in our quotations ; and as the imports have all come forward, and the surplus in the comparative stocks is rapidly diminishing, present prices will probably be maintained for some time to come. The demand for Brimstone has continued steady during the week, and, including some parcels sold to arrive, the total sales amount to upwards of 500 tons, in most instances at a further ad vance of 5s to 105 per ton ; the stock at this port (exclusive of AN hat is held by the Company) is only about 2300 tons.

There has been but a moderate demand from the Trade, and al though the market has appeared dull throughout the week, prices remain tolerably steady, excepting for the middle qualities of Ameri can and Surat, which are kd per lb lower. 1500 American and 100 Surat are taken on speculation, and 250 American for export.

We have this week again to report large arrivals of Irish Oats and Oatmeal, amounting to upwards of 16,500 quarters and 7500 loads respectively of the - ether descriptions of British Grain and Flour the imports have been moderate. From abroad we have re ceived 5000 quarters of Wheat, 150 a qrs. of Oats, 800 qrs. of Peas, and 19,305 brls. of Flour, the latter from the United States. From Thursday, the 21st instant, (when 12,600 barrels of Flour were re leased from bond,) to yesterday, the duty on Wheat was 2.0 s sd, but then again declined to 18s 8d per,quarter. Though the trade has not been of an active kind, there has, on the whole, been a steady demand for old Wheat, embracing almost daily purchases for shipment to Ireland, and our last quotations are quite sustained. Irish new, from its inferior quality, has been offered at 6s Gd to 8s 3d per 70Ibs. with little effect as to sales. American Flour, has sold, free, at 41s to 425. and a parcel or two have changed hands, in bond, at 29s 6d per barrel : home manufacture has met little in quiry : its value ranges front 458 to 62s per sack. The increased supplies of Oats and Oatmeal have caused a little further depression in these articles : 3s 7d to 3s 9id per 451bs. for Oats; and 34s to 35s per load for Oatmeal may be taken as the present currency, and the business in either has been to a very moderate extent. Malting Barleyhas met only a limited demand at 45s to 47s : choice Cheva lier is held at 48s to 49s per quarter grinding parcels have gone off at about late rates. Beans and Pease are unaltered in value. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 2. There is nothing of novelty to notice in our Butter market, . . which, we regret to say, continues extremely "fiat ;"—the quality of a great portion of the stock on hand being "stale,— and" the trade altogether " unprofitable." A revival is not generally an ticipated until Christen is has turned 3—although this is the period when speculators usually operate,—in ordinary times. The asking price for pickled Butter is 83s. We, however, incline to think that the even money would not be refused. Beef, Pork, and Bacon are nominally as last quoted We may generally remark that the offer of a cash payment for any article in the trade, has such a talismanic effect upon sellers, that we should scarcely think ourselves safe in quoting it. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 2. The supply of Beasts at: our market to-day has been much the same as last week, prime Beef was scarce, and in demand at sid to 6d, second quality aid, but for inferior Beasts tile trade was dull at sd, and at the close of the day a large number was turned out unsold. The number of Sheep was considerably larger than last market day; for prime Wet4ters, of which there 'e cut a great scarcity; the trade was very brisk, at an advance from cur last quotations, say 7d, and mostly all sold oft early in the morning, For inferior Wct lers and Ewes last week's prices were fully supported, say 6d to did. and at the close of the day the Sheep were mostly sold off.
