Poetry. ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND. FRIEND after friend departs; Who hath not lost a fried ? There is no union here of hearts That finds not here an end; Were this frail world our final rest, Living or dying none were blest. Beyond the flight of time, — Beyond the reign of death, — There surely is some blessed clime Where life is not a breath ; Nor life's affections, transient fire, Whose sparks fly upwards and expire. There is a world above, Where parting is unknown ; A long eternity of love, Form'd for the good alone; And faith heholds the dying, he, Translated to that glorious sphere ! Thus star by star declines, Till all are past away ; As morning high and higher shines, To pure and perfect day ; Nor sink those stars in empty night, But hide themselves in heaven's own light. MONTOOMEIRY. VARIETIES. FRENCH PARLIAMENTARY JOKE.—At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Friday last, after the proves verbal had been read, an honourable Deputy, protested against his being included in the list of those who were absent in the last sitting, as he had been present the whole day, and had answered to his name when called on. The President ob served, that probably the Secretary had not heard him, add ing, that it was not surprising that a monosyllable should be lost, as whole speeches were frequently delivered without the Chamber hearing a word of them. (Laughter.) The error, however, should, he said, be amended. THE MOUSE.—About eight. years ago, being in the daily habit, of descending into the coal-mines of the Newcastle dis triet,'"l one day caught a half-grown mouse, at the extremity of a gallery into which the little animal had retreated as I ad vanced' towards it (a situation, by the way, in which I have seen a rat, by which the mines are also infested, turn round and attack a boy.) Now, as no cat had up to that period been in troduced into the mine, I determined - to carry home my pri soner, for the purpose of observing his deportment on being brought into the. presence. of his formidable and natural enemy. In order, however, that he might regain hii self-possession after being introduced to the light of slay, which in all probability he bad never seen before, I kept him confined in a glass lantern fur a few days, where he, soon became so tame as to eat in my presence. In order that he might enjoy amore extensive view of surrounding objects, rfixed a piece of stick about nine inches long into the socket of the lantern upon which the little fellow very soon mounted; and after finishing his meals, he usually amused himself on his perch, by licking all the accessible parts of his body. In this way he was engaged, on the fifth or sixth day of his capture, when I introduced a young cat into the room : she very soon discovered the lantern and its contents, which was placed on the table, and dashed at it with all the ferocity of a tiger. To my surprise and amusement, my youth ful prisoner continued his ablutions with all the coolness ima ginable, without even condescending to notice the furious efforts of the cat to break the glass and devour him. This experiment was frequently renewed fur the. amusement of my friends, and invariably with the same results. Shortly afterwards I carried the little animal again into the coal-mine, and set him free. It must be obvious that the mouse could not be aware that the glass of the lantern afforded him a sufficient protection ; it did appear to me at the time, that he had uo natural or instinctive dread of the cat.—Penny Magazine. A MOST REMARK ABLE HORSE STORY.—From a Correspon dent.—(The following circumstance appears so incredible, that had we not received - the account from a gentleman on whose veracity we confidently rely, we should not have introduced it to the notice of cur. readers :)—Brough, (Westmorland,) Jan. 1833.—Mr. Rudd, of this place, carrier to Stockton, had a favourite blind horse, 16 years of age, which regularly travel led, from his early age to the present time, in cart or waggon. A few weeks ago, from over-heating, cold, &c., this horse was taken seriously ill, with loss of appetite, swellings of the legs, mostils and almost every part, of. his body. Every possible care, by medicine, nutritious fOod, &c., was had recourse to, with warm stable, sheeting, and the most constant attendance Ott so deserving an old servant; but to no effect. experi ence of the most enlightened managers of horses was lost; and Mr. Rudd, from motives of humanity, was advised to put an end to his misery by bleeding him to death. About ten' o'clock, one severe frosty, night, he was taken down to the common, a few hundred yards from the stable, and on both sides of the neck, struck with a large sized instrument, from whence he bled 'most freely, not less than 15 or 16 quarts. The poor animal, quite exhausted, gradually sunk down, stretched out his legs, and died—in the opinion of every one present. The. cord was removed from his neck, and the party went home. 'Early the next morning, the blacksmith went to take off the shoes, the skinner to take off the hide, and the pig breeder to take possession of the carcase, were severally in attendance; but to the astonishment of all, nothing, except the blood, was remain ing on the spot, without any vestage of the carcass being drag ged away.' Some time after, report was made that the sup posed dead horse was near the blacksmith's shop, at the low end of the street. He was immediately taken under his old master's care, nutritious food offered, which he ate with good appetite; and, by such attentiln, in the course of ten days, he, was restored to perfect health and strength, and enabled to perfOrm his regular journey to Stockton and back that week ; and he now continues in better health, spirits, and condition, than he has been for several years back. The poor crealure, on recovery from his death-like appearance, had made his way to the pining hedge—had nipped the short grass, and fol lowedlre. hedge, along the lanes leading from the common,— a distance of not less than half, or perhaps three quarters f a Ale, to where he was found' standing in the street, very close lathe shop of the person who was intended as his executioner. —Carlisle Patriot. AMERICAN INDIANS.—The Indians now remaining within the territory of the United States consist of at least 400,000 persons. There does not seem to be any accurate census of the nuMber, but I have not seen them any where rated at a number exceed ing 600,000, or under 400,000. Of .this number, about 75,000, consisting of tribes called Cherokees, Creeks, Chickasaws, and Choctaws are in possession of separate territories in Georgia, Alabarria f :Tennessee &c. The Cherokees are the most civilized of those tribes ; their population consists of about 15,000 per sons, inhabiting a very fine country, of about 5 millions of acres, in whichi there are extensive and fertile plains, well watered, in a healthy cliinate,'with a lofty range of stretching across the country. The Cherokees are essentially a civilized people. Each fmniiy has its little farm, and derives at least a . part of its support from agriculture, or some other branch of civilized in dustry. They are planters and farmers, tradespeople and me chanics. They have corn fields and orchards, looms and work shops, schools and churches, and orderly institutions. In 1824, when the population of the Cherokees'was 15,560 persons,.it in clude.itl,2i-7'negroes ; and there were in the nation 18 schools, 35...list:Mills, 13 saw mills, 762 looms, 2 , 486 spinning wheels, 172 waggons, 2,923 ploughs, 7,683 horses, 22,531 black cattle, 46;732 swine, 2,546 sheep, 430 goats, 62 blacksmiths' shops, &c.:, - &c.; and there are in the nation several public.roads, and terries, and turnpikes. Their climate is healthy and their win ters mild. The soil produces maize, cotton, tobacco, wheat,, oats, indigo, sweet and Irish potatoes. The natives carry on considerable trade with the adjoining states, and sonic of. them export cotton to New Orleans. Apple and peach' orchards are common, and gardens well cultivated. Butter and cheese are the: produce of their dairies. There are.many houses of public entertainment kept by the natives. numerous and flourishing villages are seen in every section of the country. Cotton and woollen cloths and blankets are every where. Almost every family in the nation produces cotten.for its own consumption. Nearly all the nation are native Cherokees. A printing press has been established for several years; and a newspaper, writ ten partly in the English, and partly in - the Cherokee language, has been successfully carried on. This paper; Called the Che rokee Phcenix, is written entirely by a :Cherokee, a young man, under thirty. It had been surmised' that he was assisted by. a white man, on whfch he put the following notice in the paper: —" No white has any thing to do with the management of our paper. No other person, whether white or red, besides the os tensible editor, has written,' frem - the commencement of the Phanix half a column of matter which has appeared under the editorial head." New Echota is the seat of government of the Cherokees. The provisions of the constitution are placed under six heads, subdivided into sections. The trial by jury is in full operation. The right' of Suffrage is universal. All free male citizens who have attained the age ofeighteen years, are Cu r titled to vote at public elections.—Stuart's America. THE LONDON PRESS. FOREIGN POLICY OF MINISTERS. Whilst the proceedings in the House of Commons have grievously disappointed public expectation, and already nobody seems to care a rush what the Althorps and Rus sells twaddle. or the O'Connells and Macauleys rave about, the masterly exposure of Lord Grey's foreign po licy by the Earl of Aberdeen in the Lords is the theme of admiration equally in the city and the court end. And here we must be allowed to congratulate the noble earl that he has not fought the good tight in vain. It is hard to kick against the pricks of popular prejudice, the uphill labour of Sisyphus, and too often similarly rewarded, but magna est yentas: Time is a great teacher; but as Lord Aberdeen foresaw, the follies of Grey ald, Palmerston have outrun the march of time itself; the lawless foray of their good French ally to the Scheldt, his buccaneering expedition to the Tagus, coupled with the licensed plun der of the people by their lordships fast friends the Jews and jobbers of the stock house, have predisposed the pub lic to that revolution of opinion which the unanswerable arguments of the Earl of Aberdeen have now consum mated. Again, we congratulate him that he has returned from his native hills to achieve . a goodly triumph.for fel low subjects long blind and thankless, renovated in health and strength to enjoy it—for, we understand his Lordship looked wonderfullyimproved in appearance since the last session. To retrieve as far as in them lies their noble master from the piteous plight in which the debate on the Royal Speech left him, the ministerial papers, with a praise worthy sense Of duty, not always found amongst mdrce naries,i have not been slow in coming to his assistance. The Times blusters for the continuance of the embargo upon and against Dutch- shipping and merchandise, much in the same manner and to the same sense as the bravo who challenges to fight the more manfully that his con federates are at hand to prevent it. The Dutch say too —and in similar circumstances so should we say—the embargo by all means as long as you please. Certes, they gain nothing, and must lose something by it. But the question is which is the heaviest loser—England or Holland ? At chess, a pawn is considered advantageously sacrificed to entrap a knight, and a castle—the castle of Antwerp—excellently surrendered if it insure checkmate to the king. The rules of the game of chess, or war, applied to commerce will, we apprehend, hold equally good. It would therefore throw some light upon the subject if Mr. Robinson, or any other well practised com mercial man, would move for the returns of the amount of British and Dutch shipping respestively employed in the trade between Holland and this country. We should then be able to understand which gets a knight for a pawn, and a king for a castle. The merchants of the City of London, who are usually accounted, even by their bitter enemies, the Whigs, to be a far-seeing race, have indeed, by their grand meeting, both virtually and actually, prejudged the question. ' T hey have cried out against the embargo long since, as men have a right to do who are so grievously taxed for the sumptuous sup port of the " family men" of the Grey badge. Strange to say, the merchants of Ainsterdam and Rotterdam, albeit men renowned for the love of per centages and profits, have unloosed their purse-strings by tens of millions to support their King and the embargo, besides millions more to their fast ally of Russia, for her good word in the suit, and nothing more. These are the marvels of the foreign policy of Madame Flahaut's pu pil; if her ladyship had even succeeded in dispossessing the Duchess de Dino, her triumph could not have been more complete. We question if the braggart tone of his bottleholder be really according , to Treasury order. Even Lord Grey himself, who despises trade and prides himself with great justice on his perfect ignorance of all its princi ples, must have his misgivings—the budget must be pre pared, and the "family" punctually paid, for the Greys don't trust. Besides, as his Lordship has reason to know, there is not a deputation or a trader who has the means of being heard at the Treasury, from the City, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, and other manufac turing districts, that does not bitterly remonstrate against the continuance of the embargo. Even the Peace So ciety hypocrites of Huddersfield, and the infant slavery . traders of Leeds, who shouted " War with Holland, down with the peace-seeking Tories," are besieging the Treasury with memorials. and making poor Macaulay's seat anything but a bed of roses—and all against the em bargo! Miserable dupes as they are, we counsel LOrd Grey to stick to the embargo by all means, and ruin his besotted supporters. Every bale of goods which these people make up seems stamped with the murder of the innocents, and worthy were it of the son of the saint-like Zachary to aid in putting down a trade in human flesh, whose dealers can never more serve his turn. Again, we say the embargo by all means, and by and by the merchants of London, with a voice that may not be de nied, will be heard thundering in the ears of the " family men."—Guardian and Public Ledger. THE LIVERPOOL STANDAILD. THE MINISTRY. The members of the Cabinet are, with but few excep tions, individuals whose abilities we despise, whose nesty we dispute, who never trusted each other, whom the people have ceased to trust ; to whom events have given an importance which their own incapacity : is rapidly taking away.' But we find every *here a fearful and sorrowful conviction that the salvation of England from the perils into which these men have guided her depends upon the future course which these men are about to pursue. Not only in our amended representation is amendment proposed, but in every institution which belongs to church or state changes more or less violent are daily agitated. The fiercer philosopher would . tear the gown from the paster's shoulders—the feebler would only pluck the mitre from the bishop's head; the sturdier rebel would trample oil liiS sovereign's diadem—the more moderate would con tent himself with the appropriation of two or three of the - gems with which it is adOrned. Amidst this conflict of vague and dissonant opinions one thing is certain. As the hold which prescription had over the minds of men becomes more and more relaxed the voice of the avowed revolutionist becomes louder, and the declared robber withdraws the mask from his face. " Who," said an ad vocate of the Reform Bill in March, 1831, " who wants to turn the nobility out of the. House of Lords ? Here and there a crazy radical whom the, boys point at as he walks, along." Two years have passed since this ex pression, was received' . with enthusiastic applause by the regenerators of the. constitution; and the benches from which that approbation :was expressed have since echOed with Yet louder exultation when Lord Eb rington moved the• famous resolutions which, if they have not for ever annihilated, have, at least for a time, sus pended the independent authority of the House of Lords. We question whether Mr: Macauley would , now speak thus slightingly of the desperate and dangerous men by whom the utility of our hereditary peerage, is doubted or denied. The unsettled state of public opinion which we have thus hastily sketched invests the intentions of the Cabi net, as. we before said, with a fearful interest. If they shall determine to make a stand on the ground which they have selected for themselves; if they shall redeem the pledges which, they made two years ago to their less re - solved friends, if, in a word, they shall become conserva tive, not of the constitution as they found it, but of the constitution as they have made it, there is a hope, afaint, perhaps; and a feeble hope, but still a hope, that the more insane and terrible excesses of revolutionary outrage may be spared us ; that the Warburtons and Woods may re turn to their insignificance ; and that the Steeles and O'Connells may be once more harmless. But if the King's Government shall place itself in this crisis at the head of the party of the movement, we see no mortal arm by which the ruin which impends over this unfortunate country may be for twelve months averted. " Jack Cade, the clothier, means to dress the commonwealth, and turn it, and set a new nap upon it." There are some members of the administration holding in it a more or less distinguished station, of whom we an ticipate, whatever may be their present professions, that they will move onwards with the agitators and the unions. We anticipate this of Mr. Poulett Thomson, because we understand his tacts ; of Lord John Russell, because we appreciate his consistency ; of Lord Althorp, because he has always been a radical ; of Mr. Charles Grant, be cause he was once a tory. There are others, and there is one above all, to whose conduct we look with a more comfortable faith; of such we shall speak to-morrow — Morning Post. THE MAGAZINES. What makes the present state of Ireland and the de mocratic spirit of its inhabitants altogether unpardonable, is the extreme indulgence and liberality with which for the last fifty years they have been treated by this coun try. During the whole war, Ireland paid neither income tax nor assessed taxes; and the sum thus made a present of by England to her people amounted at the very lowest calculation to fifty millions sterling. She shared in the full benefit of the war, in consequence of the immense ex tent of the demand for agricultural produce which its ex penditure occasioned, without feeling any of the burdens which neutralized its extension in this country. No poor's rates are levied on her landholders : in other words, they are levied on England and Scotland instead ; and this island is, in consequence, overwhelmed by a mass of \ indigence created in the neighbourinc , kingdom, but which British indulgence has relieved them from the ne cessity of maintaining. The amount of the sums annu ally paid by the Parliament of Great Britain to objects of charity and utility in Ireland almost exceeds belief, and is at least five times greater than all directed to the same objects in both the other parts of the empire taken together. Yet with all their good deeds, past, present, and to come, Ireland is the most discontented part of the united kingdom. She is incessantly crying out against her benefactor, and recurring to old oppression rendered necessary by her passions, instead of present benefactions, of which her democratic population have proved them selves unworthy by their ingratitude. Notwithstanding, all the efforts of her demagogues to distract the country and to counteract all the liberality and beneficence of the English Government, Ireland has advanced with greater rapidity in industry, wealth, and all the real sources of happiness, during the last thirty years, than any other part of the empire. Since the union she has made a start, both in agricultural and manufacturing industry, quite unparalleled, and much greater than Scotland had made during the first hundred years after her incorporation with the English dominions. It is quite evident, that i the demagogues would let Ireland alone—if the wounds in her political system were not kept continually open, and the passions of the people incessantly inflamed by her popular leaders, she would become as rich and pros perous as she is populous—that instead of a source of weakness, she would become a pillar of strength to the united empire—and instead of being overspread with the most wretched and squalid population in Europe, she might eventually boast of the most contented and happy. The revenues of the church, against which so violent an outcry has recently. been raised, have for long been collected with unexampled forbearance by the Irish P ro testant clergy. From the papers laid before Parliament, it appears, that, while the tithe, as collected by the Eng lish clergy, on an average amounts to a twentieth, that drawn by the Irish hardly amounts to - a fortieth of the produce. Recently the proportion has been daily grow ing smaller ; • and at last it has, in many parts of the country, been totally destroyed. Individual cases of harshness may have occurred, which are not surprising, considering the long-continued vexations to which the clergy have been exposed.by the Catholic tenantry; but, upon the whole, their dues have been levied with a de gree of moderation of which the Christian church affords few examples. We' are decidedly friendly to a commutation of tithes, and their imposition as a burden on the landlord directly ; but we are so, because we are convinced it would amelio rate the condition of the clergy, not because there is the slightest chance of its relieving the distresses or lighten ing the burdens of the cultivators. We would avoid the unseemly spectacle of the parochial clergyman contend ing with his own flock, and relieve both parties from the extremities to which they are now reduced—the one of starving or levying their dues in kind—the other, of suf fering their cattle to be distrained, or incurring the spi ritual censure of their Catholic director. We would put an end to the disgraceful sale of distrained cattle, in which an insulated clergyman, supported by the armed police and the military, is to be seen on one side, and 50,000 infuriated Catholics on the other. But while, for the sake of peace, and to avoid the painful collision which now exists, we would strongly advocate a commutation of tithes, nothing can be clearer, than that the condition of the tenantry will, by such a hange, be rendered much worse than before. Extravagantly high as rents now are in most parts of Ireland, they would become still higher if the. tithes were laid on the landlord, and no deduction from his demands were permitted on the score of ti the to the rector. The Irish landlords, or middlemen, will soon let the farmers feel the difference between a lay and, an ecclesiastical holder of the tithe. They will no longer get off with a fortieth part of the produce in thatpay ment—a tenth will in general be rigidly exacted. What ever is done with the tithe—whether it is given to the landlord, and he is bound to pay the clergyman—or the state, and they undertake the maintenance of the church— the existing burden on the cultivator will be greatly aug mented. The owner of the soil may be benefited by the change ; but the farmer who holds of him unquestionably will not. The example of Scotland is decisive on this point. Two hundred years ago, the tithes of that coun try were commuted with admirable wisdom by Charles I, and the consequence has been, that although the vexation of collecting tithe in kind, and the animosity between the clergyman and the tenantry, have thus ceased, the burdens on the latter have been considerably augmented. The Scotch farmer now pays much more for rent alone than the English does for rent and tithe together. The overwhelming mendicity and redundant population of Ireland is by,no means an insurmountable evil. Scot• land, at the close of the seventeenth century, was over run by 200,000 beggars, who set all law at defiance, and lived at free quarters, on the . industrious poor in every quarter ; but this immense mass of mendicity, amounting to about a fifth of the whole population of the country at that time, has long since disappeared, and the condition of her labouring classes become the object of envy to the surrounding states. The resources, both agricultural and commercial, of Ireland, are immense. [Here follow details illustrative of these resources.] What is it, then, which retains in such an abject state of misery a country so prodigally gifted by nature, and so indulgently treated by Government ? How has it happened that Ireland, so kindly cherished by Great Britain for the last half century, almost without taxa tion, certainly without any, of the burdens which at the same period have overwhelmed British industry, I deplorable a state—that, abounding in agriC riches, its people should so often be starving—d every advantage for manufacturers, its industry in so many quarters be languishing—and beg the finest fisheries in Europe, it should derive cd, tively nothing from that inexhaustible source of II The Irish have an answer ready ; they say it iS vernment. We agree with them ;it is niisgoverl but it is not the misgovernment of England, but own factious demagogues, which has occasioned misery; and if it is in a worse state than ever nov not because, under our Whig rulers, they have bi harshly, but too leniently treated ; it is not becati vernment has been too rigorous, but because it undue concession, been dissolved. In truth, if the matter be considered dispassion it must occur to every man of historical informatie the vulgar theory which ascribes all the miseries, land to English conquest is totally unfounded. is no doubt a province of a great empire; but so Scotland, Hanover, and Canada ; and yet all these. tries, so far from being in miserable condition, are', highest state of prosperity. Ireland was conquer 6 , l centuries ago ; but so was England b y t h e NOS' Gaul by the Franks, a n d th e N or th o f I ta l y b y the` bards; and yet from the mixed population of the and vanquished, has arisen all the wealth, prosr and grandeur of those great countries. A living,. rian of philosophic ability, [Guizot, Es.ais sun tone de France], has justly traced to the severitie s misery consequent for centuries on the Norman cOt" the remote seeds of B r iti s h f ree d om; and observe-11 those ages of national su ff er ing were th e most va, ages which England has ever known. There mus t been something mor e therefore, than the mere i j early subjugation, which is to be looked to a s the' " of Irish misery, so me thi ng whi c h h as countera ct" , this alone. of all other European states, the 11 ' J powers of nature, and rendered the intermixture ' l , ferent races, consequent o n f or eign conques t, the 5 ' of so much benefit to other states, the predecessor much wretchedness to that unhappy land. This fundamental cause is to he found in the tion of Ireland to a country possessing free instioll i and the consequent and not unnatural extension population of privileges which they were not car!, bearing, and of passions whose excitation they cow withstand. For nearly two, hundred years, ever since the cent labours of James 1., Ireland has enjoyed the and been delivered over to the passions of a free • She has had county elections, Parliaments, grand ) trial by jury, and all the other machinery whic h grown in England during eight centuries froal seeds of Saxon liberty.
