Poetry. A TRIBUTE OF AFFECTION AND RESPECT TO TUE MEMORY OF ADMIRAL VISCOUNT EXMOUTH, BY AN OFFICER OF HIGH RANK, WHO SERVED WITH Hlg LORDSHIP AT ALGIERS. A MIGHTY chief has sunk to holy rest! A chief amongst the bravest and the best. Deep-rooted sorrow speaks from shore to shore, And Britain mourns her Exmouth now no more. If intrepidity of hand and heart In British seamen ever formed a part, With skill to guide, or manly soul to dare— None, none could boast a greater, nobler share. 'Twas his the raging elements to brave, O'er rooks stretch forth the ready hand to save, And snatch despairing hundreds from the grave. The bright achievements of his arduous race Cold lifeless marble can but faintly trace; Whilst modesty, humanity, and zeal— A life devoted to his country's weal— Religious, bountiful—his fruitful mind At once declared him of the noblest kind. Such was this matchless seaman's proud career, Shewing the course for Britain's sons to steer ; And, like the chief, a life of glory end— The pious Christian, tender father, friend. Throngs flock'd around his unpretending bier, While fond affection pour'd the silent tear. Peace to his manes, in their last abode I Surrender'd through his Saviour, to his God. Prazer's Magazine. BLESSED BE THY NAME. BLESSED he thy name for ever, Thou of life the guard and giver ; Thou canst guard the creatures sleeping ; Heal the heart long broke with weeping. God of stillness and of motion, Of the desert and the ocean, Of the mountain, rock, and river, Blessed be thy name for ever. Thou who slumberest not, nor sleepest, Blest are they thou kindly keepest ; God of evening's parting ray, Of midnight's gloom, and dawning da4r, 'That rises from the azure sea, Like breathings of eternity ; God of life ! that fade shall never, Blessed be thy name for ever !-lioach SINCE trifles make the sum of human things, And half our misery from our foibles springs ; Since life's best joys oonsist in peace and ease, And few can save or serve, but all may please : Oh ! let the ungentle spirit learn from hence, A small unkindness is a great offence. Large bounties to bestow we wish in vain ; But all may shun the guilt of giving pain. Allis. H. MORE, VARIET/ES. Delirium often takes place in consequence of an accident of no very momentous kind,—it may occur without fever, or it may be accompanied with that irritative sympathetic which is often the "last stage of all, that closes the sad eventful history" of a compound fracture, Delirium seems to be a very curious affection ; in this state a man is quite unconscious of his dis ease; he will give rational answers to any questions you put to him, when you rouse him, but he relapses into a state of wan dering, and his actions correspond with his dreaming. I re member a man with compound fracture in this hospital, whose leg was in a horrible state of sloughiug. I have roused him, and said, "'Thomas, what is the matter with you? how do you H do ?" e would reply, " Pretty hearty, thank ye; nothing is the matter with me; huw do you do ?" He would then go on dreaming of one thing or another; I have listened at his bed side, and I am sure his dreams were often of a pleasant kind. He met old acquaintances in his dreams,—people whom be re membered Zany syne, his former companions, his kindred and relations, and he expressed his delight at seeing them. He would exclaim every now and then,--"That's a good one; well, I never heard a better joke," and so on. It is a curious circum stance that all consciousness of suffering is thus cut off as it were, from the body; and it cannot but be regarded as a very benevolent effect of nature's operations that extremity of suffer ing should thus bring with it its antidote. * * * Of the great number to whom it has been my painful professional duty to have administered in the last hours of their lives, I have some times felt surprised that so few have appeared reluctant to go to "the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller re turns." Many, we may easily suppose, have manifested this willingness to die, from an impatience of suffering, or from that passive indifference which is sometimes the result of debility and extreme bodily exhaustion. But I have seen those who have arrived at a fearless contemplation of the future, from faith in the doctrine which our religion teaches. Such men were not only calm and supported, but even cheerful in the hour of death; and I never quitted such a sick chamber without a wish that "my last end might be like theirs." Some, indeed, have clung to life anxiously—painfully; but they were not influenced so much by a love of life for its own sake, as by the distressing prospect of leaving children, dependent upon them, to the mercy of the world, deprived of their parental care. And here you will forgive me, perhaps, if I presume to state what appears to use to be the conduct proper to be observed by a physician in withholding, or making his patient acquainted with, his opinion of the probable issue of a malady manifesting mortal symptoms. I own I think it my first duty to protect his life by all practi cable means, and to interpose myself between him and every thing which may possibly aggravate his danger. And unless I shall have found him averse from doing what was necessary in aid of my remedies, from a want of a proper sense of his peril ous situation, I forbear to step out of the bounds of my province, in order to offer any advice which is not necessary to promote his cure. At the same time, I think it indispensible to let his friends know the danger of his case the instant I discover it. An arrangement of his worldly affairs, in which the comfort or unhappiness of those who are to come after him is involved, may be necessary; and a suggestion of his danger, by which the accomplishment of this object is to be obtained, naturally induces a contemplation of his more important spiritual con cerns, a careful review of his past life, and such sincere sorrow and contrition for what he has done amiss, as justifies our hum ble hope of his pardon and acceptance hereafter. If friends can do their good offices at a proper time, and under the sug gestions of the physician, it is far better that they should under take them than the medical adviser. They do so without de stroying his hopes, for the patient will still believe that he has an appeal to his physician beyond their fears; whereas, if the physician lay open his danger to him, however delicately he may do this, he runs a risk of appearing to pronounce a sen tence of condemnation to death, against which there is no appeal via hope; and, on that account, what is most awful to think of, perhaps the sick man's repentance may be less available. But friends may be absent, and nobody near the patient in his extre mity, of sufficient influence or pretension to inform him of his dangerous condition. And surely it is lamentable to think that any human being should leave the world unprepared to meet his Creator and Judge, "with all his crimes broad blown!" Rather than so, I have departed from my strict professional duty, done that which I would have done by myself, and apprized my patient of the great change he was about to undergo.—Sir Henry Halfold's Essays and Orations. Da. JOHN BULL.—The great English church composer, Dr. John Bull, who flourished in the sixteenth century, going abroad for the benefit of his health, travelled incognito through France and Germany. Hearing, while in the former country, of a fa mous musician belonging to a certain cathedral at St. Omers, he applied to him, as a novice, to receive instructions in har mony, and to see and admire his compositions. This renowned master, after some conversation had passed between them, con ducted the Doctor to a vestry or music-school adjoining the ca thedral, and showed him a vocal production in forty consonant parts, making a vaunting challenge to any master in the world to add to them one part more. Dr. Bull perceiving, at the first glance, that the composition was not quite so full and complete as vanity had led the French contrapuntist to imagine, re quested the use of pen, ink, and paper, and to be locked up in the school for two or three hours. '1 his, with great disdain, was immediately granted; and the Doctor, in less time than he had asked, added to the composition jisrty more parts. The musician Leing then called in, examined and re-examined it; when, find ing the whole of the additions new and correct, he burst into an ecstasy, and declared that he who had made them must be either the devil or Dr. John Bull. QUEEN ELIZABETH AND HER FRACTIOUS ORGANIST.-Dr. Christopher Tye, organist of Elizabeth's Chapel Royal, was more correct andi delicate in his ear than in his temper; and his disposition, as may be supposed, was not iniproved by age. It once happened, in nis latter days, that the Queen's taste yeas so little gratified by the peevish old gentleman's performance, that she sent the verger up to the organ-loft, to tell him that he played out of tune ; upon which, after uttering the word pooh! he sent down for answer, that her Majesty's ears were out of tune. COLLEGE CUSTOM.—An annual custom is observed at Queen's College, Oxford, which consists of the serving up a boar's head, and singing a song and chorus adapted to the occasion. The boar's head, being boiled or roasted, is laid in a great charger, covered with a garland of bays or laurels, as broad at bottom as the brims of the charger. When the first course is served up in the refectory, on Christmas-day, in the said college, the man ciple brings up the said boar's head from the kitchen to the high table, accompanied by one of the tabarders, who lays his hand on the charger. The tabarder then sings a song; and when he comes to the chorus, all the scholars that are in the refectory, join in its performance : The boar's head in hand bear I, Bedeek'd with bays and rosemary, And I pray join, masters, me►ry be, Quotquot istis in couvivio. cuonus. Caput Apri defero, Reddens laudes Domino. The boar's head, as I understand, Is the bravest dish in the land, lieinz thus bedeck'd with a gay garland ; Let us servire convivio. CHORUS. Caput Apri defero, • Reddens 'angles Domino. Our steward has provided this, In honour of the King of bliss, Which on this day to be served is, In regimendi atrio. CIIORUS. Caput Apri defero, Reddens laudea Domino. " I regret that I ever engaged in the school. I have been obliged to expel eight of my scholars. The noise and uproar of my school had been increasing every day, till at last it reached so high a pitch, that neither I nor my pupils could be distinctly heard. I reprimanded such as appeared most riotous, but some of them told me they would not be restrained by any English tyrant ; so I visited one of them with a stroke. Hereupon, the whole school became a scene of anarchy. I was pelted on all sides with books, and slates, and copies, and obliged to leave my seat. All the scholars pressed on, and endeavoured to strike or kick me. I was compelled to take refuge behind a pillar, against which I placed my back, and protected myself in front by a chair. Such as approached near enough I knocked down, and kept the whole rabble of them at bay. At last, snatching a piece of wood out of the hands of the oldest, I put my pupils on the defensive ; and when I had completely subdued every appearance of resistance, I turned the ringleaders out of doors." * * The Greek plays are hardly read at all in Ame rica. Metres are little understood, and versification less. I speak confidently, when I say that boys in good schools near London have, at the age of from twelve to fourteen, a more solid and thorough classical education, than the young men • who have passed through Columbia college ; and, I believe, than any persons educated altogether in America. Mathema tical knowledge is much upon a par with classical. The pro fessors of Columbia college made some attempts to raise the study of languages to a higher standard. Such elevation of studies would require additional exertion from pupils, and addi tional expenditure from parents, and has been vigorously opposed by both. Many, even of the supporters of that college, ques tion the utility of high literary attainments. They cast their thoughts and glances upon such as have gained distinction in collegiate exercises, and find that, when contrasted with others, they are neither better clerks, better shopmen, nor more thriving traders. They then begin to ask the advocates of learning, what are the advantages it is expected to confer? Instead of rendering its votaries snore attached to business, more eager for dollars acquired in any manner, more wedded to narrow and sordid gains, they perceive that it generates a taste for reading, a love of scientific and rational pleasures, and a freedom from the coarser manners which distinguished their forefathers. * * * * The Americans are in general, strangers to the finer feelings ; and take pleasure iu humbling those whose man ners differ from their own. If you retire back from the larger cities, which have received a tincture from European residents, you will have ample opportunites of realising this tale, in almost every particular. Your family, indeed, will keep you from utter solitude ; but if your children mix at all with those around them, their conduct towards yourself will be so conta minated with republican principles, as will become a source of hourly vexation. Such places are fitted only for the rudest peo ple, and offer no correspondence with minds in the least refined by good society, or humanised by literature."--Fiddler'e Observ ations on the United States. TRANSLATION FROM THE GULL LANGUAGE. BY DR. DOWDING Scripta manet. 'Twas graved on the Stone of Destiny,• In letters four and letters three ; And ne'er did the King of the Gulls go by But those awful letters scared his eye ; For he knew a Prophet Voice had said, As long as those words by man were read, The ancient race of the Gulls should ne'er One hour of peace or plenty share. But years on years successive flew, And the letters still more legible grew,— At top, a T, an H, an E, And, underneath, D. E. B. T. Some thought them Hebrew,—such as Jews, Who deal more in Scrip than Scripture, use ; While some surmised 'twas an ancient way 'Of keeping accounts (well known in the day Of the famed Didlerius Jeremias, Who had thereto a wonderful bias), And proved, in books most learn'dly boring, 'Twas call'd the Pontick way of scoring. Howe'er this be, there never were yet Seven letters of the alphabet, That, 'twixt them, formed so grim a spell, Or scared a Land of Gulls so well, As did this awful riddle-me-ree Of T. ii. E. D. E. B. T. Hark!—it is struggling Freedom's cry, " Help, help, ye nations, or I die ; " 'Tis Freedom's fight, and, on the field " Where I expire, your doom is seed." The Gull• King hears the awakening call, He hath summoned his Peers and Patriots all, And he asks, "Ye noble Gulls, shall we " Stand basely by at the fall of the Free. , " Nor utter a curse, nor deal a blow ?" And they answer, with voice of thunder, "No." Out fly their flashing swords in the air ! But,—why do they rest suspended there? What sudden blight, what baleful charm, Hath chill'd each eye, and checked each arm ? Alas, some withering hand hath thrown The veil from off that fatal stone, And pointing now, with sapless finger, Showeth where dark those letters linger,— Letters four, and letters three, T. H. E. D. E. B, T ! At sight thereof, each lifted brand Powerless falls from every hand ; In ♦ain the Patriot knits his brow, — Even talk, his staple, fails him now. In vain the King like a hero treads, His Lords of the Treasury shake their heads ; And to all his talk of " brave and free," No answer gettcth His Majesty But "T.H. E. D. E. B. T." In short, the whole Gull nation feels They're fairly spell-bound, neck and heels ; And so, in face of the laughing world, Must e'en sit down, with banners fitrl'd, Adjourning all their dreams sublime Of glory and war to-some other time.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.—It has been remarked that the fifty-six individuals who signed the declaration of American independence, have all died within the space of fifty-six years after the signature of that act ;—that all the presidents of the United States have died at the age of fifty-six ; and that the Union was well nigh being dissolved fifty-six years after its foundation, through the dispute respecting South Carolina and the Tariff. ROASTED AND BOILED MEAT.-It is well know that, in whatever way the flesh of animals be prepared for food, a con siderable diminution takes place in its weight. As it is a subjeet both useful and curious in domestic economy, we shall give the result of a set of experiments which were actually made in a public establishment ; they were not undertaken for mere curiosity, but to serve a purpose of practical utility. Twenty eight pieces of beef, weighing 3801bs. lost in boiling 731 b. 14oz. Hence the loss of beef in boiling was about 20%1b5. in 100 tbs. ; nineteen pieces of beef, weighing 1901bs. lost in roasting 611bs. 2oz. The weight of beef lost in roasting appears to be 32tbs. #' 100Ibs. ; nine pieces of beef weighing 901bs. lost in baking 2711i5. Weight lost in beef by baking is 301bs. #' 1001bs ; twenty-seven legs of mutton, weighing 2601b5. lost in boiling, and by having the shank bones taken off, 621bs. 4oz. The shank bones were estimated at 4oz. each, therefore the loss in boiling . was 551bs. Boz. The loss of weight in legs of mutton in boiling is 21Ibs. #' 1001bs. Eighty-five shoulders of mutton, weighing 3501b5. lost in roasting 109 tbs. 10oz. The loss of weight of mutton was 31%1b5. 100 tbs. Sixteen loins of mutton, weighing 1411bs. lost in roasting 49tbs. 14oz. Hence loins of Mutton lose by roasting about 353ilbs. 4 , looms. Ten necks of mutton weighing lOOlbs. lost in roasting 321bs. 6oz. From the foregoing statement two practical inferences may be drawn. First in respect of economy, it is more profit able to boil meat than to roast it. Second, whether we roast or boil meat, it loses by cooking from one-third to one-fifth of its whole weight.-Philosophical Magazine. PREDISPOSITION TO DISEASE FROM INTEMPERATE DRINKING. -It is unquestionably true, that many of the surrounding.ob jects in nature are constantly tending to man's destruction. The excess of heat and cold, dampness and dryness, and vicis situdes of the seasons, noxious exhalations from the earth, the poisonous vapours from animal and vegetable matter, with many other invisible agents, are exerting their deadly influence; and were it not that every part of the human system is endowed by the Creator with a self-preserving power, a principle of excita bility, or, in other words, a VITAL principle, the operations of the animal economy would cease, and a dissolution of the organic structure take place. But this principle being implanted in the system, reaction takes place, and thereby a vigorous contest is maintained with the warring elements without, as well as with the principle of decay within. It is also true, that artificial sti mulus, in whatever way applied, tends constantly to exhaust the principle of excitability of the system, and this in proportion to its intensity, and the freedom with which it is applied. But there is another principle, on which the use of ardent spirit pre disposes the drunkard to disease and death. It acts on the blood, impairs its vitality, deprives it of its red colour, and thereby renders it unfit to stimulate the heart and other organs through which it circulates,- unfit also, to supply materials for the different secretions, and to renovate the diflerent tissues of the body, as well as to sustain the energy of the brain,-offices which it can perform only while it retains its vermilion colour and arterial properties. The blood of the drunkard is several shades darker than that of temperate persons, and also coagu lates less readily and firmly, and is loaded with serum, appear ' ances which indicate that it has exchanged its arterial properties for those of the venous blood. This is the cause of the livid com plexion of persons who are in the habit of drinking to excess, and which so strongly marks the drunkard in the advanced state of intemperance. - Hence too, all the functions of his body are sluggish and irregular, andi the whole system loses its tone and energy. THE MONTH OF MAY.—May the third month in the year of Romulus, became the fifth in that of Numa, and has ever since retained the same station in the calendar. Thirty-one days were assigned to it by the founder of Rome, while his successor reduced them to thirty; Julius Caesar restored the odd day. The name of the month was fixed long before the time of Romulus; the ancients considered it sacred to Apollo, and on the first day the Romans offered sacrifices to Maia, the mother of Mercury. This would at first sight seem to fix the origin of the name to the goddess; yet, learned commentators have contended that Romulus continued the name in honour of his senate, who were distinguished by the epithet of Majures, (or the great council.) The Saxons called this month Tri-nalchi, the young grass, then in the vigour of its growth, being so heartening to the cows as to enable them to yield milk thrice a day. In the old Cornish language, the name of the month was Me, an evident alteration of May. In this month Nature appears to deck herself in her gayest attire, and clothe herself with all the colours of the rainbow ' the hawthorn, laburnam, lilac, honeysuckle, and all the fruit trees, are in full blossom, while the lily and the tulip are ornamenting the &Tardens, and the daisy and cowslip spangling the fields in all directions. The whole country seems one mass of blossom, from whence breathes a perfume as salutary as it is delightful. Ancientd painters embodied May in the shape of a lovely countenance youth, clad in a white and green robe, embroidered with various flowers; on his head a garland of white and damask roses; a lute in one hand, and on the forefinger of the other a night ingale, which first warbles its even' song in this month. CANAL NAVIGATION.—A short time since we noticed some experiments which had been made on the velocity with which a boat was drawn on the Grand Junction Canal; these and other experiments have since been repeated by Mr. Rennie, and the results are such as entirely to corroborate the assertions of Messrs. Houston and Grahame, the inventors of this new mode of trackinc , boats, and to justify all proprietors in !adopting it. On Tuesday and Wednesday week, the boat Swallow, which is constructed of iron plates, and especially brought from Scot land for the purpose of running on the Grand Junction Canal, was accurately measured and loaded with weights equal to her full complement of passengers, when it was found that she measured about seventy feet long and six feet wide. The boat was then drawn to the straight part of the canal, about five miles from Paddington, and the horses were put to different speed, varying from four to eleven miles and a quarter per hour, when it was found that all speed from four to eight miles was attended by a considerable wave, but above eight miles the wave went on diminishing in the same ratio. The force indicated by the dy nomometer was also less, and there was no doubt that, had the speed been augmented the wave would have diminished to no thing. A fact so remarkable, and, at first sight, at variance with the received doctrine of the resistance of fluids, excited great doubts in the minds of scientific men as to the accuracy of the assertions made by Mr. Grahame; but it was the opinion of Mr. Rennie, and it was afterwards corroborated by experi ments, that the diminished resistance was owing to the boat rising out of the water. Be this as it may, one great point was established, namely, the complete practicability of attaining and keeping up a velocity of ten or eleven miles per hour, which is equal to the speed of the best coaches. Boats now run con stantly on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Canal and Lancaster Canal, with goods and passengers, with a speed of ten miles per hour, and at half the usual cost. SUPERSTITION. — The times of the dominion of superstition also, as history teaches us, are always times of earthly cala mity ; for the moral corruption which accompanies superstition necessarily, also, destroys all the foundations of earthly pros perity. Thus the times in which superstition extended itself among the Romans were those of the downfal of civil freedom, and of public suffering under cruel despots.-IVatson's Theolo yi&xl Dictionary.—[ls not superstition the most oppressive scourge of Ireland at this day ? Does Catholicism promote or oppose superstition ?—Correspondent.i THE MlLLENiusi.L—Some two years ago, our readers may recollect that a large tree on the beautiful estate of Drums formed the place of habitation for a hawk and wood-pigeon, which we then considered an evidence of the approach of the niilleniuin. When we now announce that this season a tree in the north of the county was found to contain the nest of a hawk, a wood-pigeon, and a thrush, it must be acknowledged that the signs are thickening around us !—Fife Herald. AMERICAN DUEL.—A duel took place a short time since, in one of the Western States, in which there were six combatants ,on each side, who attacked one another with swords, pistols, and daggers, with the most savage fury. Three were left dead on the field, and nearly all the rest were left wounded, till at length the weaker party retreated. 'IRE COTTON TRADE AT STOCKPORT.—We have been fa voured with the following extract from documents furnished to the commissioners in the above inquiry, which we publish, be causeit will give some idea of the importance of the cotton trade in this town :-36 master spinners and manufacturers em ploy in their mills, 11,444 work-people, whose wages amount to £6,689 Bs. 10d. weekly, of these 326 are betwixt 9 and 10 years of age 381 10 .... 11 710 11 .... 12 2923 12 .... 18 7101 upwards of 18 Many mills are not included, because no returns have been made.—Stockport Advertiser. CANAL NAVIGATION.—A company has been formed for the purpose of introducing steam navigation on the canals of Bel gium, and several iron boats, with the paddles at the stern, are at present building in Manchester, to be used by this company. If the experiment should succeed, we shall very soon have steam boats uu all the English canals. THE LONDON PRE ' itself—far from it, indeed.
