Vottrp4 THE LITTLE HAND. BY MRS. SIGOURNEY. Thou wak'at, my baby boy, from sleep, And through its silken fringe Thine eye, like violet, pure and deep, Gleams forth in azure tinge. With frolic smiles and gladness meek, Thy radiant brow is drest ; While fondly to thy mother's cheek Thy little hand is prest. That little hand ! what prescient wit Its history may discern, Ere time its tiny bones shall knit With manhood's sinews stern? The artist's pencil shall it guide ? Or spread the snowy sail? Or hold the plough with rural pride ? Or ply the sounding flail? Through music's labyrinthian maze, With thrilling ardour rove? Or weave those tender tuneful lays, That beauty wins from love ? Old Coke or Blackstone's learned tome With weary toil explore ; Or trim the lamp in classic dome, Till midnight's watch be o'er ? The pulse of languid sickness press ? Or such high honour gain As in the pulpit raised, to bless A pious listening train ? Say, shall it find the cherished grasp Of friendship's fervour cold ? • Or startling, feel the envenomed clasp Of treachery's serpent fold ? oilinked in hallowed union, blest Of changeless love benign, Press some fairinfant to thy breast, . . , As thou dost cling to mine? Jut oh ! may the Almighty Friend, From whom our being came, Thla dear and powerless hand defend • From deeds of guilt and shame ; From cruel war's discoloured blade, From withering penury's pain ; From dark oppression's direful trade, And from the miser's gain. Grant it to dry the tear of woe, ' • Wild folly's course restrain, .The alms of sympathy bestow, 4:19 - The righteous cause maintain. .1)614,4. d.gd,Write wisdom on the wing of time, Even 'mid the morn of youth, And, with benevolence sublime, Dispense the light of truth. Discharge a just, a useful part, Through life's uncertain maze ; Till, coupled with an angel's heart, It strikes the lyre of praise. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. RIBBONISM IN IRELAND. (From the Standard) Our worthy contemporary, the Morning Chronicle, wh6 never seems so much in earnest as when he is wholly in the wrong, having discovered a passage in thespeech of Lord Wharncliffe on Thursday, which wilt, he fancies, favour his view of the scope and ten dency of Ribbonism, has returned to the subject, like a ' giant refreshed by wine." After felicitating him self on having " done something to promote the ex posure and defeat of this most intrepid fiction," this "mnet impudent attempt ever made by the jugglers of !dying faction," to impose a " monstrous figment" on " a too credulous and simple public," he puts into Lord Wharncliffe'l mouth a statement to the effect, that his lordship had not yet satisfied his mind whether Ribbon Societie: are directed to political views and objects or not: We know not if his lordship ever expressed any such doubt upon the subject; but of this we are cer tain, that if he did, the opinion was singularly at vari ance with the testimony laid before him by gentlemen, tharuuThom he most earnestly declared he had never met witnesses more intelligent or respectable in his life. Even ,the testimony of Mr. Rowan, which the Chro nicle has tieen at such pains to impugn, was, his lord shiO'aisures us, fully corroborated by the statements of other parties. Now, at the risk of being considered te dious, We must once more direct the attention of our readers ,to what the nature of all this testimony really was; requesting them, at the same time, to remember, that every one of these gentlemen, with one exception, were -actually holding situations under government, and were, consequently, rather unwilling witnesses than otheiwise. Major Warburton, inspector-general of the consta bulary force, after various details in reference to the extent and character of Ribbonism, asserts that " he never knew a Protestant engaged in it." Mr. Rowan, a chief magistrate of police, asserts that the. Ribbon Society " is exclusively Roman Catholic : it teing impossible, according to the rules, that a Pro teitent should belong to it." Moreover, he declares their objects, as unequivocally stated by their oath, to be the subversion of the Protestant and the establish ment of the Catholic religion in its stead. Mr. John Hatton, who has been chief constable of police for more than 16 years, agrees with the witnesses whose testimony we have quoted, " as to Ribbonmen being ,coned to Roman Catholics exclusively." Mr.. John Wright, who has been 22 years in the constabulary, in which he has for some time past been chief constable, " has not the slightest doubt that Ribbonism has increased rapidly since 1835. Never heard of a 'Protestant being among them." Samuel Tracy, Esq., who has been nine years a sub inspector of police, confirms Mr. Rowan's belief that one of the objects of Ribbonism " is to recover the estates that were forfeited." Mr. Christopher Plunkett, who has been upwards of six years a stipendiary magistrate in the county of Louth, nine years previously sub-inspector of police, and altogether 18 years in the service, declares that he believes the object of the Ribbon Society to he ". the extermination of Protestants and the establishment Of•the'Rornan Catholic religion throughout Ireland." • Capt. 13. Warburton, who has been nearly 15 years a resident magistrate in Galway, " has seen placards from the Ribbon Society calling for the restitution of the forfeited estates." John Wetherall, 'Esq., believes the Ribbon Society to be a ", confederation of both a religious and political character, and always confined to the Roman Catholic party? , Maxwell Hamilton, Esq., is Crown solicitor for the north-east circuit since 1830; has " not the slightest doubt . that the Ribbon Society exists wherever Catholics reside ; to whom it is entirely confined." Major George Brown, is one of the commissioners of police, in Dublin, and was many years a magis trate • he has no doubt " that th e y (R i bb onmen ) are all ROMan'Catholics, and do not admit Protestants." Mr. liernmis is Crown solicitor for the Leinster cir cuit, Crown solicitor for the county and city of Dub lin, and Solicitor to the Treasury in Ireland ; all of Which offices he had held for 38 years ; says that Ribbon Societies are composed entirely of Roman Ca tliolicS, and that the substance of their oath is " to be true . to the brethren, to attend to any call, NOT TO ASSIST A HERETIC, and to keep secret the acts of the . s6ciety." John Lewiss O'Ferrall, Esq., is one of the Commis sioners of Police in Dublin, which office he has held since 1838 ; " never heard of but one instance of a Protestant belonging to the Ribbon Society, as Rib bonmen never admit of any but Roman Catholics." Now, if, after all this evidence, and much more that is strictly corroborative, from witnesses whose great intelligence and respectability he eulogises so highly, Lord Wharncliffe is " unable to satisfy his mind whe ther Ribbonism is directed against the l'rotestant or Catholic religion," all that we c an say i s , t h at h e i s more sceptical than we took him to be; for, unques tionably, if the gentlemen whose evidence we have here quoted be what his lordship describes them to be, the fact - that Ribbonism is confined to Roman Catholics has been proved as completely as it is possible for a fact to be proved. Its other objects, its general cha racter, and its extent, we have already discussed; and have shown how little foundation there is for the vapid attempt at wit of Lord Lurgan, who describes it as " a political torso"—a thing without a head; an idea that E, appears to have tickled the fancy of the Morning Chro r nick mightily. It will be seen by a reference to the s' evidence of the gentlemen to whom we have above alluded, that no doubt exists that the monster is fur nished with a head ; and that its affairs are organised by persons much more astute, and who have greater interests at stake, than the miserable tools who do their bidding. The difficulty which exists of obtain ing convictions against even the humblest members of the body, however, instead of being proof of its non existence, has been sufficiently accounted for ; and proves nothing but the dangerousness of its character, in having been able so frequently to evade detec tion and punishment. No great time has elapsed since the ministerial journals denied the existence of Ribbon societies altogether : now, with Lord Norman by and Mr. Secretary . Drummond, the most incredu . lows of witnesses, they admit its existence, but deny its extent ; and describe its objects as " agrarian," rather than political. We must, however, do his lordship's :secretary the justice to express our belief, that he has . seen and heard less of these societies than a gentleman -in his situation might have been expected to do; a de grie of ignorance which is easily accounted for. It testy be inferred from the evidence of Colonel Shaw' i tonnedy, that the police had little e ncouragemen t i n 1 riting out this class of offender s and b r i ng i ng th em . . t ',j ust ice ; and that so chary were his excellency and ' -1 1 1 &secretary in making Ribbon disturbances known 'to the public, that even when _they did unkennel a Ribbo n lodge, they took especial care to let the inspec tor-general of the constabulary, Colonel Shaw Ken nedy, know SS little about it as possible. Lord Nor - manby knew, or at least the " Viceroy" over him , 'knew, that this troublesome class of agitators would chair " a cabbage stalk" if it pleased them; and so „ long as they limited themselves to such performances, there appears to have been no great disposition to med dle with their amusements. This may possibly ac tauntr for the i gnorance which his excellency' appears ~..).' ' to be so anxious to avow . 4 , at. 4 , 11' ""."''''' )(Aso N.

TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. LETTER No. II " Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doc trines of devils—speaking lies in hypocrisy. having their conscience seared with a hot iron." 1 Tim. iv. 1, 2. SlR, —Though your letter to the Methodists might afford scope for a small volume, if the principles were examined seriatim, and brought to the test of truth, I have promised but to write on your Bibles ; and time only permits me to redeem the pledge on this subject. You attack the Methodists for objecting " to use versions of the Holy Scriptures notoriously corrupt and unfaithful, and accompanied by notes which they consider contain most absurd and pernicious doctrines." Your first point of attack is the notes, and on this you say—" It is quite true that there was an edition of the Rhemish or Douay Bible that contained notes, in which the civil power was sought to be justified in inflicting persecu tion for religious dissent. But there are, indeed, very few copies in existence containing such notes, and all the copies in use by the clergy, or in use in Catholic schools, colleges, or private houses, are quite free from any such notes." There is not, I believe, one other man in the British em pire that would have the public effrontery, deliberately to condense so many falsehoods into one single sentence. You begin that sentence with the words—" It is quite true," and you know as well as I know that there is not one syllable of truth from beginning to end of it. You pretend to make a concession to the Methodists, that there was " an edition" of this Bible with these notes—while you know in your heart, that within these fifty years there have been no less than three editions of that infamous book published in this country. You know there was one printed in Liverpool for Patrick Wogan, of Dublin, in the year 1789. You know there was another commenced in the year 1810, under the patronage of nine of your bishops ; and as they dared not to publish it openly, lest it might injure their efforts to gain temporal power, you know they had it distributed among subscribers through all Ireland in numbers and parts from 1813, till it was discontinued through the bankruptcy of the printer in 1814. You know that five hundred copies of the unfinished work were completed and published by Mr. Cum ming in 1816. You know that the patronage of your bishops in general for the work was not then fully detected, and that it came out nominally under the approbation of Dr. Troy. You know that this edition being then published, and its villainy exhibited, Dr. Troy, abjured it, as you yourself also pretended to do, in 1817. You know that Richard Coyne, in vindication of his own character, was obliged to convict Dr. Troy, openly of direct falsehood. You know that while Dr. Troy was thus abjuring it before the public, he and eleven other of your bishops, (of whom his coadjutor, Dr. Murray, was one,) were patronising a fresh edition of this same book, then printing in Cork, which was completed in 1818, and distributed, as before, among subscribers, amount ing to more than 3000, through all Ireland. You know this process was going on, and this work successfully distributed and concealed till the year 1836, while Dr. Murray was giving in evidence before the committee of the House of Commons in 1825, that it was not circulated under the patronage of any bishop or priest in Ireland! You know every syllable of this. You dared not, when publicly chal lenged, as I now challenge you again, to meet or disprove one tittle of the evidence for these facts ; and with all this full in your view you have the impudence to write to the Methodists. "It is quite true that there was an edition," &c. Has not God justly branded on the brow of that guilty apostacy, which you are labouring to defend, the character that belongs to her—" speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron," Again, Sir, you say of these notes that in them " the civil power was sought to be justified in inflicting persecution for religious dissent." Now, you know, as well as you know your existence, that this is totally untrue. You try by this pretended admission to get rid of the truth that the spiritual tyranny of your intolerant superstition is the real author and agent of persecution and murder, and to make it appear as if it was merely the civil power that was to bear the crime : whereas, you know, while it is true that your church calls the secular arm to her aid when she can do so, still in these notes the spiritual power is set up as above all temporal authority, and goads it on to persecution, and that the spiritual power is to command the secular power. You know this, Sir—it is your religion to believe it. And on December 4th, 1817, when it was your interest to give another version of this story, your own words were, that you "would not remain a Catholic an hour longer if you thought it essential to the profession of the Catholic faith to believe that it was lawful to murder Protestants, or that faith might be conveniently broken with heretics. " Yet such," said you, " are the doctrines laid down in the notes to the Rhemish Testament." Such was your own statement as to these notes in 1817, and let the Methodists compare it with the smooth, lying gloss that you try to put upon them now. Again, Sir, you proceed—" But there are, indeed, very few eopies in existence containing such notes." The whole body of subscribers, whose names and residences are given in the book itself, with twelve of your bishops, and some hundreds of your priests at their head, rise up as one man to prove the utter falsehood of your assertion. I have had myself in my own possession, within these last three years, no less than eleven copies of this Bible and Testament, printed at Cork in 1818. There are in the city of Dublin alone three hundred and fifty subscribers' names, with your Primate of that day, Dr. O'Reilly, Dr. Troy, and Dr. Mur ray at their head, and you have the audacity to write in the face of these facts to the Methodists, that " there are, in deed, few copies in existence containing such notes !! !" What is it that possesses you to sit down and write such un blushing, deliberate, inconceivable fal se h oo d s ? I s i t t h at you flatter yourself hey will not be detected? or that if they are the exposure will never be commensurate with the ex tended circulation of the lie, so that you gain thereby the advantage that ten will believe the lie for one that will ever see the truth ? Is it that you feel a genuine pleasure in the commission of the crime ?—ls it that like the use of opium, spirits, or tobacco, the inveteracy of the habit has made it necessary to your existence ? Is it that you are so thoroughly drilled by that " best guide," which Dr. Murray has given his priests to direct your conscience in the confessional, that the principles of your education have become the instincts of your nature ? or is it that you so expect the prayers and blessings of the church in proportion to your zeal in main taining her principles, that provided she is to be benefited by the falsehood, you are equally ready to assert it in the press, to affirm it on the platform, or to swear it in the House of Commons. You proceed—" All the copies in use by the clergy, or in use in Catholic schools, colleges, or private houses, are quite free from any such notes." Here, again, you knew as well as you knew you had a pen in your hand when you wrote that sentence, that it was a pure, deliberate untruth. As to your clergy—you knew your bishops and priests had patronised, subscribed to, and propagated these notes not only as true, but as the infallible interpretation of the church, while you assert that "all the copies in use among your clergy are free from them." Then as to private houses—again the list of subscribers convicts you of falsehood in this. Then as to your colleges—you have the effrontery to make a statement which I suppose even the porters at Exeter- Hall, are by this time too well informed not to know to be destitute of truth ? What, sir, is not the commentary of Menochius, the class-book of your students at Maynooth ? Is it not printed for your college? Does it not lay down the murder of heretics, and refer its readers to Maldonatus, for more specific directions for the slaughter of them ? Is there even in the Rheimish Testament one single note so atrocious in murder and treason against heretics and heretical princes, as the one note in Maldonatus on Matthew xiii., the parable of the wheat and tares ? and with these books, the standard authority and class-books of the College of Maynooth, re turned as such by your own professors—(for they could have no course of theology to return as taught in your church, that is not a course of cruelty and crime)—with all this which you know to be so true, that you dare not meet one tittle of the proof, you have the impudence to tell the Methodists, in your letter, that " all the copies in use in your colleges are quite free from such notes ;" and you have the still more unblushing audacity to write to them about the people of the British empire contributing to the support and propagation of popery, as if it were not at this moment an outrage on all religion, principle, justice, and common sense—that the Protestant population of the country should be actually taxed to maintain a college for educating men not only in idolatry and superstition, for the destruction of the souls of our coun trymen, but in principles for the invasion of our religion, for the subversion of our throne, for our own slavery, or our own extermination. Sir, I tell you the government of England is both weak and wicked for permitting one shilling of the public money to be expended to educate either priests or people in popery. It is their duty to maintain schools and colleges with God's Holy Word as the foundation of all public instruction, and let the people profit by them, if they please. But it is utterly false and absurd to say that it is the duty of a government to prevent or punish the crimes of an unfortu nate and guilty people, while they pay the public money to educate a set of priests to train that people for the perpetra tion of them. Again, Sir, you say—" The Catholics, one and all, have repudiated these notes and the doctrines they contain," Now, there is not one living man that knows the falsehood, the, thorough falsehood of that assertion so well as you do yourself; and this, because while you have had the effron tery to assert it befo.ie, the falsehood of your own assertion has made you appear contemptible and ridiculous. You made this same assertion in the year 1817. Do you remember your pretence to get your committee to disclaim these notes? Do you remember your resolu tions? Do you remember your amendments? Do you remember your bluster about getting up an aggregate meet ing? Do you remember all your parade and all your mock ery, and how neither meeting nor committee, nor one single Roman Catholic was ever produced to join in your imposture on the Protestant public ; and how you sneaked off into an adoption of the address, drawn up by Mr. Eneas M'Don. nell ? If you wish to see the detaiLof yout.own contenaptibig shuffiings, equivocations, professions, pretences, deceits and falsehoods on the subject, I refer you to your own confes sions, under your own hand, in that miserable exhibition of weakness and folly which you addressed to the Rev. Mr, Page, in the shape of a letter, dated July 30, 1836. You will find it in the Morning Chronicle of August 2d that year ; or if the editor has had sufficient compassion for you to cancel that paper on his file, you will find it carefully preserved in my preface to the notes of this same Bible and Testament, page lviii. But it was not only at that time that you were rendered so ridiculous by your impotent efforts to get the Roman Ca tholics to verify your assertion, but even three years ago, in 1836, when you attempted to write a review of the proceed ings at Exeter Hall, and when the exhibition of the treachery and v illainy of your bishops made it necessary for you to at tempt something in their defence and your own. What an example did the editor of the London and Dublin orthodox journal, himself a Roman Catholic, make of your duplicity and folly that year, in his number for August ! He says your " feelings got the better of your reason." He says, after quoting your statements as to those notes, that " he must stop to br ea th e , an d coo l t h e i n di gnat i on that boils within his veins "—that he has " proved your positions to be false and libellous"—and so far from admitting, that he rejects or repudiates these notes, he says, speaking of this last edition of 1818—" The notes were designated by the modern publisher, and truly so too, the eloquent, copious, and instructive notes or annotations." They have been the text book of Catholics for two centuries and a half; and is it to be one moment supposed, that this learned and elabo rate work would have been allowed to circulate without con demnation by the proper authorities, if the exposition of the sacred and mysterious word had been other than sound and orthodox, and neither atrocious nor damnable, as they are termed in another place of this review ? He quotes Dr. Milner's authority to corroborate his state ments as to the character of these notes, and he says " They were written to defend and maintain the orthodox Catholic faith and the pure principles of morality, and if the language used is grating to the ears of modern liberals, it is because it speaks plainly and calls things by their right names." Such is the language of this Roman Catholic writer. This fellow is an honest son of the church ; he confesses he r text book ; and though it is perfectly true, and though you know' it to be true, and though it places you in a position so tho roughly contemptible, yet you have the impudence to repeat the falsehood for which you have been so properly chastised, and to tell the Methodists that "the Catholics, one and all, have repudiated these notes and the doctrines they contain.' When you add, " No man ever repudiated and condemned them more loudly than I do." True—most true ; I admit the fact of your denunciation ; but you do not suppose the Methodists such fools as to believe it, even though you have not thrown the additional doubt of having given your oath upon the subject. I wonder at the editor of the orthodox journal—if he was indeed such a simpletonato - suppose you sincere in your attack upon the notes, and not to see that your devotion to the church led you to labour for her interests, which were involved at the time—by denying in the Review what you revere as her own infallible interpreta tiOn in the confessional. The black fiends might as well reproach their master for duplicity when he sees fit to trans form himself into an angel of light, as the familiars of the inquisition reproach a papal politician for abandonment of his principles when he puts forth Popery in the garb of mo dern liberalism and Christian charity. So much. Sir, for your statement to the Methodists as to the notes of. your Bible. I shall prove that your assertions are as untrue as to the editions of the text. And now, Sir, I am prepared for the comments of some of your tools of the press—(you dare not comment on this yourself)—that shall charge this letter with unchristian, un charitable language, and many similar charges, because I de nounce in plain, direct, uncompromising terms, the delibe rate falsehoods of your letter—because I call falsehoods falsehoods, treachery treachery, perjury perjury, and murder murder. Sir, las resolutely disclaim and denounce that hollow, heartless, unprincipled compromise ,of all truth and all religion that " calls evil good and good evil—puts dark ness for light and light for darkness"—that deserts the honest dignity of virtue and fawns upon the dark deformity of vice—that calls it charity to trifle with truth—to fritter away falsehood—to mock God, and compliment the devil. It is this base and traitorous abandonment of honest prin ciple and pure religion, of bold fidelity to God and man, that has reduced the nation to the past; to which it has come, that men who ought to stand forward to lift their voices, like a trumpet, for their country, shrink in moral cowardice from their honest public duty ; while vice and crime, and perjury and treason, emboldened by their weakness and their folly, stand forth and rear their brazen front in the highest places in the land, and the basest villain passes for the purest pa triot. If you, Sir, had been long ago expelled, as you deserved, from the British senate, for the violation of your public oath that placed you there—if those who made oaths a secu rity for the protection of religion, and God the witness for their country's safety, had stood as they ought, with bold determined fidelity, to vindicate the honour of that God and that religion, you had not dared to mock the common sense and insult the understanding of every honest man in the empire by such a tissue of insolent audacity and falsehood as that with which you now pollute the pages of the public press, sometimes with your own productions, and sometimes mixing up, as in this letter to the Methodists, some of the lying sophisms of your priests. But, Sir, as long as I see it written in that Holy Book, which the Papal apostacy seeks to corrupt, or to withhold from its unhappy victims, that one of the marks which the Spirit expressly brands upon her brow is this—" Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain, from meat"—as long as I see the name which God has written upon her forehead " MYS TERY—BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH"—" drunken with the blood of the Saints and with the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus :" as long as I see the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ himself against those who set themselves, like her and her ministers, against Him and His truth—" Ye are of your father, the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do—he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in, the truth, Because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father cf it :" As long as these truths are written in the Book of God, and God's Ministers are commanded to be faithful to that Word, and to their sacred trust, so long am I determined, in the face of hollow liberalism which covers its fears, its false hood, its indifference, and its infidelity, under the mask of Christian gentleness and Christian charity, in the strength of God, to call lies lies, treachery treachery, perjury perjury, sand murder murder ; and to bear my testimony against Po pery as the prolific parent of them all. There is, Sir, a place for Christian charity and Christian love to the souls of men. Its language is that of mercy, and its voice is that of peace. It does not lacerate or wound to slay—but it lays the gangrene open to the bottom, if yet, in deed, there may be hope for balm to heal. It tells the sinner of his crimes, not:to sentence him to destruction, but to warn him to seek for mercy. It addresses him in the language which I now address to you. Alas, my poor unhappy fellow-sinner, pause while yet you may, upon the brink of death. Whether your sins and crimes have been recorded in the secret memorials of a dark and guilty-conscience, or blazoned on the pages of your country's gloomy history—it matters not, when you shall stand before the Judge of quick and dead. The Judge is now proclaimed to you as a Saviour. The Judge Himself became a surety for the guilty. The vilest wretch that ever death shall sum mon to his bar is now entreated, nay commanded in His Holy Word, to come and to receive his grace and his salvation, signed, sealed, and written in the dying blood of his Redeemer. Hear, 0 fellow-sinner, " all manner of sins and blasphemies shall be forgiven unto men—the blood of Jesus cleanseth from all sin"—turn ' 0 turn, to this great an d f ree sa l vat i on —turn ye, turn ye, for why, why will you die? 0 cursed, dark and damnable apostacy—messenger of death—minister of hell—that shuts out the light and glory of this great salvation from the sinner's hope, and substi tutes the lying traditions, wafers, rags, oils, masses, mockeries of prayers, mummeries of penances, idols, purgatories, to make a merchandize of man's immortal soul ! Come out from the arms of that nurse of human guilt and misery, that trains you up for crimes, and deceives you in everlasting ruin ; look unto Christ, and be you saved ; come unto Him, thou poor, weary, heavy-laden sinner, and He will give you rest. Here is my charity for you, here is my Christian regard. As I would save you if I could from the waves if you were drown ing—as I would rescue you if I could from the flames if you were burning—l call on you to come out from that accursed apostacy in which you are sunk, and fly while it is called to day to the salvation proclaimed to you in the Gospel; and while I bear my testimony against your own iniquity and that of your church, by which you have been trained to it, I can say to you that my heart's desire and prayer to God for you is, that you may be saved—that when Christ shall destroy that accursed Babylon with the brightness of his coming, Daniel O'Connell may be found delivered from her abomina tions, a monument of grace at the right hand of the Lord Jesus. I can pray this for you—l can pray it for my Roman Catholic countrymen—and can say, in the sight of God, I believe it to be the:only genuine true spirit of Christian faith fulness and Christian charity for the Roman Catholics of Ire land; with every feeling of which, I desire to be, and trust I am, their faithful friend and servant, R. J. M`GHEE. P.S.—This letter was written before your second effusion to the Methodists. There is nothing in it to induce me to alter a word in this. I should have published it before, but having a communication to make to Doctor Murray, it was but due respect to him to give him precedence. SUPERSTITIOUS MODE OF TRAVELLING.—One evening as our party (in India) were strolling on shore after the day's journey, we observed a native of most filthy appearance en gaged in what appeared to us a very extraordinary process. He repeatedly laid himself on the ground at full length, making at the same time a mark in the sand close to the crown of his head ; then, rising, he placed his feet by the said mark, and lay down again as before. This process he might continue ad infinitum for aught we know, as we saw no end to it, each successive prostration gaining one length of his body to the southward. We addressed him, and inquired his object. He returned us no answer, nor did he appear to notice us ; we then made the same inquiry of some natives who were also watching him, not with curiosity like ourselves, but with the most profound respect and reverence. He was a devout Fakeer on his pilgrimage to Juggernaut, whether he was making his way in the manner described, namely, measuring the whole distance by the length of his body. He had already thus travelled more than three hundred miles ; and as he had only about four hundred miles further to go, every hope was entertained of a prosperous conclusion to his journey. —Memoirs of Cadet. GAMBLING BY MACHINERY.—.-The New Orleans papers give an account of the breaking up of a gambling establish ment, the operations of which; it seems, were carried on by machinery.. The Bee thus describes the apparatus :—" In a back parlour in the second story was a round table, fixed in iron shoes, so as to be immoveable. Two of the legs in this table were hollow. Down the hollow legs wires were run to the floor, and along the floor in grooves made for the purpose to the wall, then up the wall to the third story, thence to a point immediately above the centre of the table. The wires were communicated from the table to the point above in the manner used in bell-hanging. The grooves through which they ran were inlaid 'with the softest buckskin, so as to pre vent detection. Immediately above the card table, the ceil ing was ornamented with a circular painting, after the fashion of some parlours; In the centre of the painting was a hook, as if to supend a lamp.

The room above was kept dark, which also prevented the players from ascertaining the cheat, particularly at night.”—We learn, says the Globe, that such a piece of machinery is erecting in one of our fashionable gambling establishments. CIGAR-MAKING IN SEVILLE.—The most extraordinary sight in the Fabrica dc Tobaco is a room, or rather, four con nected rooms, about an immense square court, where three thousand women and girls are daily employed in twisting cigars. It is not saying much for Sevillian beauty, and ;I looked in vain amongst this vast number for one that was beautiful, pretty, or even interesting in appearance. I never beheld such an assemblage of ugliness. As Juanico well ex pressed it, " Venus passed by their doors at the time of their birth, and would not even glance within." The young fe male superintendant was the only exception—the only one who did not disgrace the city of Donna Julia. Each woman can twist ten or twelve bundles of cigars a day, each bundle containing fifty-one cigars or five ounces of tobacco. There are six hundred men similarly employed, each twisting four teen or sixteen bundles daily. The daily wages of the whole are above 1,000 dollars, or nearly £250. This is a little world in itself. Every article wanted is made within its walls ; tin chests, (sacks _baskets—nay,..even. the wheels of the carts in which the tobacco is conveyed to and from the Fabrica—have all separate manufactories.—A Summer in Andalucia. ONE OF " THE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF PARIS."—For some time past, a work has been published in numbers, under the rather odd title of La Belles Femmes de Paris; a biogra phical article is annexed to the portrait of the happy woman who is deemed worthy of shining in the collection. Women of all classes—the queens of the shops especially—are sin gularly delighted at being introduced into the gallant museum, in company with Italian princesses, Spanish countesses, and the great ladies of our all-powerful financial aristocracy. The other day, in the morning, Madame B—, whose throne stands in one of the most splendid shops in the Rue de la Paix, received the visit of a very polite and good-looking young gentleman, whose manners were particularly elegant. He had under his arm a little portfolio of the finest green morocco, which, with his long hair and pointed beard, proclaimed the artist. " Madame," said the youth, "I am a painter, and, in that capacity, commissioned to contribute some portraits to the collection des Belles Femmes de Paris. I am come to ask you, Madame, to favour me with a sitting. Upon this proposal, the lady lowered her eyes, and affectedly replied, that the editors were very indulgent to think of her,—that she could ascribe their notice o f h er b u t t o gal lantry,—that she was not pretty enough to deserve the in tended honour,—that, * * * * * In short, amidst her abundant 'expressions of modesty and humility, shone unbounded delight. After some further negotiation, the handsome shopkeeper went up to her apartment with the young artist, cast a glance at the mirror, set her hair in pro per order, put on a necklace, ear-rings, and bracelets, seated herself, and suffered her drapery to be tastefully adjusted by the painter, who proceeded to his task. Half-an-hour after, he rose; and, courteously observing that he had perhaps tired his lovely model, announced his return next day, at the same hour. On Madame B— begging to look at his sketch, he politely apologized, urging that as yet there was no likeness, but that on the following day it would be forth coming. A short chat ensued. The artist examined, en connoisseur, several pictures ornamenting the bedroom, stopping long before the chimney-piece, over which hung, among other pretty things, various miniatures, which he took down, put back, praised, and pronounced charming. His inspection being concluded, he made a most graceful bow, and left the fair lady in one of those ecstacies which the female heart likes so well. At night, when Madame B—, freed from commercial labour so unworthy of one of the belles femmes de Paris, returned to her bedroom to enjoy her triumph, she happened to move to her chimney-piece, to wind up her darling watch ; but the watch happened to have vanished, along with the gold chain which usually connected it with her snow-white neck, and both fugitives were soon followed by the splendid dream, and all the joy anticipated from a woman's brightest victory. As nobody had entered the room, of which she al wa ys kept the key ab ou t h er per son, Madame B— concluded, with more shrewdness than she had displayed in the morning, that the gallant young gentle man was a thief, the sketch of her portrait a chimera, and that there was some inconvenience in being one of " The Beautiful Women of Paris."—Paris paper. . , A PLEASANT NIGHT'S REST. " What on earth is the matter?" inquired Mr. Plumplee, as he entered the room pale as a ghost in his night-shirt, with a pistol in one hand and a lamp in the other. '" Its all right," said Beagle, " 'twas I that made the noise. I've been besieged by a cohort of cats. • They have been at it here making most healthful music under my bed for the last two hours, and in trying to make them hold their peace with the bolster, I upset that noisy affair, that's all." •" Cats !" cried Mr. Plumplee, cats !"—you eat a little too much cucumber, my friend !—that and the crabs were too heavy for your stomach !—you have been dreaming ! you'e had tik night mare ! We haven't a cat in the house ; I can't bear them." You are mistaken," rejoined Beagle, " they're about here in swarms. If I've turned one cat out this night, I'm sure that I've turned out twenty ! I've, in fact, done tho-' thing else since I came up. In and out, in and out ! Upon, my life, I think I can't have opened that blessed door less than an hundred and fifty times ; and that young fellow there has been all the while fast as a church !" " I tell you, my friend, you've been dreaming ! We have never had a cat about the premises." " Meyow,—rneyow ?" cried Valentine quietly. " Now, have I been dreaming.?" triumphantly exclaimed Mr. Beagle, " now have I had the night mare ? "God bless my life !" cried Mr. Plumplee, jumping upon Mr. Beagle's bed, " they don't belong to me." " I don't know whom they belong to," returned Mr. Bea gle, " nor do I much care : I only know that there they are." If you'll just hook those breeches up here, I'll get out and half murder them ! Only hook 'em this way !—l'll wring their precious necks off !" They're out of my react," cried Mr. Plurnblee, " Hish ! hish !" Finding, however, that harsh terms had no good effect, he had recourse to the milder and more persuasive cry of " Pussey, pussey, pussey, pu sse y ! tit, tit, tit !" Hish ! you devils !" cried Mr. Jonas Beagle, who began to be really enraged. " Titty, titty, titty, titty !—puss, puss, puss !" repeated Mr. Plumplee in the blandest and most seductive tones, as he held the pistol by the muzzle to break the back or to knock out the brains of the first unfortunate cat that made her ap pearance : but all this persuasion to come forth had no effect ; they continued to be invisible, while the mewing proceeded in the most melancholy strain. " What on earth are we to do 1" inquired Plumplec, " I myself have a horror of Cats." "The same to me, and many of 'em !" observed Mr. Bea gle. " Let's wake that young fellow, perhaps he don't mind them." " Hollo 1" cried Plumplee. " Hul-lo!" shouted Beagle ; but as neither could make any impression upon Valentine, and as both were afraid to get off the bed to shake him, they proceeded to roll up the blankets and sheets into balls and to pelt him with infinite zeal. " Who's there ? What's the matter ?" cried Valentine at length, in the coolest tone imaginable, although his exertions made him sweat like a tinker. " For Heaven's sake, my dear young friend," said Mr. Plumplee, " do assist us in turning these cats out." " Cats ! Where are they? Hish !" cried Valentine. " Oh, that's no use whatever. I've tried the hishing bu siness myself. All the hishing in the world won't do. They must be beaten out ; you're not afraid of them, are you !" " Afraid of them ! afraid of a few cats ?" exclaimed Valen tine with the assumption of some considerable magnanimity. " Where are they?' " Under my bed," replied Beagle. " There's a brave fel low ! Break their blessed necks !" and Valentine leaped out of bed and after striking at the :imaginary animals very fu riously with the bolster, he hissed with great violence and scratched across the grain of the boards in humble imitation of those domestic creatures scampering out of a room, when he rushed to the door, and proceeded to make a very forlorn meyowiiag die gradually away at the bottom of the stairs.— Valentine Vox, the Ventriloquist. A RECONCILIATION; AND MORE OF BOZ ON " BABBIES." At sight of their perjured relative, Mrs. Kenwigs turned faint and pale, and Mr. Kenwigs rose majestically. "Kenwigs," said the collector, " shake hands." " Sir," said Mr. Kenwigs, " the time has been when I was proud to shake hands with such a man as that man as now surweys me. The time has been, Sir, said Mr. Kenwigs, " when a wisit from that man has excited in me and my fa mily's boozums sensations both nateral-and awakening. But now 1 look upon that man with emotions totally surpassing every thing, and I ask myself where is his honour, where is his straight-for'ardness, and where is his human natur ?" " Susan Kenwigs," said Mr. Lillyvick, turning humbly to his niece, " don't you say anything to me ?" " She is not equal,to it, Sir," said Mr. Kenwigs striking the table emphatically. " What with the nursing of a healthy babby, and the reflexions upon your cruel conduct, four pints of malt liquor a day is hardly able to sustain her." " I am glad," said the poor collector meekly, baby is a healthy one. lam very glad of that." This was touching the Kenwigses on their tenderest point. Mrs. Kenwigs instantly burst into tears, and Mr. Kenwigs evinced great emotion. " My pleasantest feeling all the time that child was ex pected," said Mr. Kenwigs, mournfully, " was a thinking, if its a boy, as I hope it may be, for I have heard its uncle Lillyvick say again and again he would prefer our having a boy next—if it's a boy, what will his uncle Lillyvick say— what will he like him to be called—will he be Peter, or Alex ander, or Pompey, or Diorgeenes, or what will he be ? and now when I look at him—a precious, unconscious, helpless infant, with no use in his little arms but to tear his little cap, and no use in his little legs but to kick his little self—when I see him a lying on his mother's lap cooing and cooing, and in his innocent state almost a choking himself with his little fist—when I see him such an infant as he is, and think that that uncle Lillyvick, as was once a going to be so fond of him has withdrawed himself away, such a feeling of wen geance comes over me as no language can depicter, and I feel as if even that holy babe was a telling me to hate him." This affecting picture moved Mrs. Kenwigs deeply. After several imperfect words which vainly attempted to struggle to the surface, but were drowned and washed away by the strong tide of her tears, she spake. " Uncle," said Mrs. Kenwigs, " to think that you should have turned your back upon me and my dear children, and upon Kenwigs which is the author of their being—you who was once so kind and affectionate, and who, if any body had told us such a thing of, we should have withered with scorn like lightening—yo;;, that little Lillyvick our first and earliest boy was named after at the very alter—oh gracious !" ` Was it money that we cared for ?" said Mr. Kenwigs. " Was it property that we ever thought of ?" " No," cried Mrs. Kenwigs, " I scorn it." " So do I," said Mr. Kenwigs, " and always did." " My feelings have been lancerated," said Mrs. Kenwigs, "my heart has been torn asunder with anguish, I have been thrown back in my confinement, my unoffending infant has been rendered uncomfortable and fractions, Morleena has pined herself away to nothing ; all this I forget and forgive, and with you, uncle, I never can quarrel. But never ask me to receive her—never do it, uncle. For I will not, I won't; I won't, I won't—" " Susan, my dear," said Mr. Kenwigs, child." " that the " consider your " Yes," shrieked Mrs. Kenwigs, f` I will consider my child !" I will consider my child! my own child, that no uncle can :deprive me of. my own hated, despised, cut-off little child !" And here the emotions of Mrs. Kenwigs be came so violent that Mr. Kenwigs was fain to administer hartshorn internally and vinegar externally, and to destroy a staylace, four petticoat strings, and several small buttons. Newman had been a silent spectator of this scene, for Mr. Lillyvick had signed to him not to withdraw, and Mr. Ken wigs had further solicited his presence by a nod of invitation. When Mrs. Kenwigs had been in some degree restored, and Newman, as a person possessed of some influence with her, had remonstrated and begged her to compose herself, Mr. Lillyvick said in a faultering voice : " - I never shall ask any body to receive my- I need'nt mention the word, you know what I mean. Kenwigs and Susan, yesterday was a week she e l ope d w ith a h a lf- pay captain." _ Mr. and Mrs. Kenwigs started together. " Eloped with a half-pay captain," repeated Mr. Lillyvick, " basely and falsely eloped with a half-pay captain—with a bottle-nosed captain that any man might have considered himself safe from. It was in this room, said Mr. Lillyvick, looking sternly round, " that I first see Henrietta Petowker. It is in this room that I turn her off for ever." This declaration completely changed the whole posture of affairs. Mrs. Kenwigs threw herself upon the old gentle man's neck, bitterly reproaching herself for her late harsh ness, and exclaiming if she had suffered, what must his suf ferings have been ! Mr. Kenwigs grasped his hand and vowed eternal friendship and remorse. ---Nicholas Nickleby, No. 17. SINGULAR DELUSION.—It is a singular fact, that there are now confined, in the public and private establishments for the treatment of insanity, in London and the neighbour hood, no less than sixty men and women, who consider them selves the legitimate but unacknowledged sovereigns of the country ! One female patient insists upon asserting that she is the real Victoria, and that she was confined in a mad house, in order to prevent her from ascending the throne of her forefathers. This patient most pertinaciously affirms that she was sent to the asylum by Lord Melbourne, in or der to make way for a lady with whom he is in love, and who now occupies the throne. It is most laughable to witness the pomposity with which this poor mad creature struts about the ward, exclaiming, " fall back, clear the way for your illustrious Queen Victoria."—Phyeie and Physicians. CLOSING SCENES OF MRS. HEMAN'S LIFE.—She would converse with much of her own kindly cheerfulness, sending affectionate messages to her various friends, and'recalling old remembrances with vivid and endearing minntenesl: Here thoughts reverted frequently to the days of childhood-•-to the old house by the sea-shore--the mountain' rambles—the haunts and the books which had formed the delight of her girlish years. One evening, whilst her sister was sitting by her bedside, a yellow gleam from the setting sun, which streamed through the half-closed shutters, produced a pecu liar effect upon the wall, exactly similar to what used to he observed at sun-set in their old - school-rooni at Gwrych. They both remarked the circumstance; and what a gush of recollections was thus called forth !' The association warlike that so often produced by a peculiar scent, or a remembered strain of music. Yet, in all, save that streak of light, how different were the two scenes ! The one, a chamber of sick ness in a busy city—its windows (for a back room had been chosen for the sake of quietness) looking down into a dull court; the other, a cheerful apartment in an old country house, everything about it speaks the presence of happy childhood, and the wide, pleasant window, opening out upon fresh green fields ; beyond them the silver sea ; and, far in the west, the sun sinking behind the dark, bold promontary of the Orme's Head. And in the inmates of those two rooms, the contrast was no less striking. Of the two joyous children, one, " the favourite and the flower," now a worn and faded form, lay on her dying bed ; the other, on the eve of parting worse than death, destined to feel the sad force of the affecting old epitaph : " Why do I live in life a thralle, Of joy and alle berefte ? Their wings were growne, to heaven they're flowne— 'Cause I had none, I'm lefte." Memoirs of Mrs. Hemans, by her Sister. AMERICAN LIBERALITY.—Here I cannot help making a few remarks upon a subject on which I think the general opinion in Britain is erroneous. We are taught to believe that the Yankee is invariably a suspicious and avaricious man in his money transactions, and incapable of those feel ings and acts of liberality for which the British character is distinguished. I shall mention two instances that occurred to me in the space of four days, which showed a very diffe rent character from that of which the New Englanders are accused. The change in the route which the prevalence of the cholera at Montreal induced me to adopt, had prevented me from drawing any of the money which I intended to get in that city, and my finances were, therefore, so much re duced as to leave me only just sufficient to take me as far as Boston. Upon my mentioning the circumstance to Mr. T ,my landlord at Burlington, as my reason for not making some trifling purchases in that town, he at once ad vanced me fifty dollars, by indorsing my draft on New - York, and presenting the bill to the Burlington Bank. The second instance which I shall quote was in the purchase of the Indian pony. Mr. C ,of Montpelier, understanding that it would be inconvenient for me to pay his price out of my tra velling pocket money, offered at once to accept my draft on New - York for the sum, in which manner the purchase was made. Neither of these gentlemen had ever seen or heard of me before, and neither of them asked even for a letter of introduction or other papers to satisfy them as to any par ticulars respecting me ; and with all due and modest allow ance for my gentlemanly appearance, I very much doubt , whether I should have met with the some liberal treatment, under similar circumstances, at a country town in Yorkshire or Lancashire.—.lllurray's North America.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 15 The market since Monday has been rather dull, and prices some what easier ; but to-day there has been more doing, and prices are about the same as on Friday last. The business of the day is 3,000 hales; 500 American have been taken on speculation. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 13. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) The imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coast ways, and also from Foreign ports hive again been very small since Tuesday week, and with the exception of very heavy rain on the night of that day, awl a few partial showers since, the weather, though not very for;irarding, has not been unfavourable to the crops, which are progressing to maturity steadily, but slowly ;—some early fields may be cut in another week, but harvest is not expected to be general in this district before the drat week in September ;—the de mand during the past week here, and in all our country markets has been very limited for every article in the Coin trade, and we can note no decided alteration in our quotations of last Tuesday week, though a tendency to decline. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports is since Friday last re duced 3s per quarter, and Is 9id per barrel on Flour, also Is 6d per quarter on Rye, on other kinds of Grain no alteration ;—very little has been done in bonded Grain or Flour for export, and prices re main nominally as last quoted. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of town and country millers and dealers, who we're purchasers of Wheat and Flour only to a very limited extent, though at a reduction of 3d to 4d per 7olbs on the former, and of is per sack and per barrel on the latter article, and for all other articles in the trade the demand was very moderate at a small reduction, but hardly sufficient to warrant any alteration in the general quotations.

The number of cattle at market to•day far exceeds that of the pre ceding week, and thmuality much about the same; but the supply of Sheep and Lambs was considerably smaller than last reported. The market, although well attended by buyers, has been rather heave for Beef, consequently there has been a slight reduction in prices, and a number left unsold notwithstanding. Of Sheep the sales have been more extensive, but we cannot note any alteration in prices from our last quotations: but Lamb has been rather scarce, and the prices considerably higher than last week, The best beef was sold at 64d, second quality 6d, ordinary sid.—Good wether Mutton may be quoted at 61d, ordinary and ewes Sid, and Lamb at from 63d to ;id per lb, sinking the offal.
