rtrp. THE LAST PLAGUE OF EGYPT (From the Scottish Christian Herald.) 'Tis midnight, 'tis midnight, o'er Egypt's dark sky, And in whirlwind and storm the sirocco sweeps by ; All arid' and hot in its death-breathing blast — Each sleeper breathes thick, and each bosom beats fast. And the young mother wakes, and arouses from rest, And presses more clo s ely her babe to her breast ; But the heart that she presses is death-like and still, And the lips that she kisses are breathless and chill. And the young brother clings to the elder in fear, As the gust falls so dirge-like and sad on his ear; But the brother returns not the trembling embrace, — He speaks Not—he breathes not—Death lies in his place. And the first-born of Egypt are dying around ; 'Tis a sigh—'tis a moan—and then slumber more sound ; They but wake from their sleep, and their spirits have fled. They but wake into life, to repose with the dead. And there lay the infant, still smiling in death, That scarce heaved its breast as it yielded its breath ! And there lay the boy, yet in youth's budding bloom, With the calmness of sleep—but the hue of the tomb. And there fell the youth in the pride of his prime, In the morning of life—in the spring -tide of crime ; And unnerved is that arm, and fast closed is that eye, And cold is that bosom which once beat so high. And the fond mother's hope, and the fond father's trust, And the widow's sole stay, are returning to dust ; Egypt has not a place where there is not one dead, From the proud monarchs palace to penury's shed. And the hearths of that country are desolate now, And the crown of her glory is thrust from her brow ; But while proud Egypt trembles, all Israel is free— Unfettered—unbouud—as the waves of the sea. FL ROGERS, THE RADICAL PRESS AND THE QUEEN DOWAGER. (From the Morning Herald.) If the bed-chamber ministers think they will strengthen their position, or improve their prospects, by giving instructions to their retainers of the press to vilify and persecute the royal widow of William IV., they only add another to the many great mistakes which they have already made. The exhibition of such petty spite, of such unmanly malice, will sink them lower than ever (though that is very difficult) in public estimation. " In the lowest deep Still threatens." The malignant and vindictive attacks just now di rected against Queen Dowager Adelaide by the morn ing organ of the ministry, are quite worthy of a court that poisoned the mind of our young and inexperi enced Sovereign against one of the most amiable of her sex, and persecuted the virtuous Lady Flora Has tings to death. Do the same kind "friends of the Queen" suppose they will remove the weight of public odium which has justly fallen upon them by traducing an illustrious lady, who is an ornament to that rank in which she moves, and a noble example to her sex of all the virtues that grace the female character, and com mand the respectfully enthusiastic admiration of the English people ? There are, it appears, those at COURT,—though no loyal subject will include among them the Sovereign herself,—who can no more bear with patience or tem per the praises which the public voice bestows upon the venerated Consort of our late lamented King, than if they regarded those praises as a reflection on their own want of those qualities that can ensure the respect of a moral and enlightened nation—a nation that re spects private worth and domestic virtue wherever they are found, and admires them most when from the most elevated station they shed upon society the happy in fluence of their endearing example. With an unpopular court and an universally odious and despised ministry, the Dowager Queen Adelaide is indeed held in small estimation,—but with them and their connections alone. They would make her very virtues " Sanctified and holy traitors to her." Like the curious Athenian who could not bear to hear Aristides called the JUST, these malignant persons are enraged at finding that the universal voice of the Bri tish nation acknowledges the exemplary worth of the good Queen Adelaide. Nor is this national testimony of respect to the Dowager Queen unmixed with a grate ful recollection of the truly British spirit, the clemency, and manly virtues of the kindhearted William IV. Long may she live to receive the spontaneous tribute of a nation's veneration : it is the honourable reward and the accompaniment of a life of beneficence. We wish no more bitter punishment to her malignant per secutors than that they may live long also, to witness and to weep for her well-deserved popularity. DAVIS' STRAITS FISHERY. - IMPORTANT INFORMATION. (From t h e Aberdeen Herald.) The intelligent Esquimaux, whom Captain Penny, of'the Neptune, has brought from Davis' Straits this season, has disclosed some geographical information which promises to exercise a most important influence on the future prospects of the Davis' Straits whale fishery. Under present circum stances, the fishery may be said to be at an end. But no one who is in the smallest degree acquainted with its past history, and can in any way appreciate its vast advantage, will hesitate for a moment to aid in the carrying out of any measures which will seem calculated to restore it, if not to its original importance, at least to a degree of prosperity which would he of immense benefit to the nation. Captain Penny states that, when he got as far west as Cape Serls, the whales, though plentiful, became exceedingly wild, and darted up Cumberland Straits with a uniformity of direc tion which led him to think that there must be some place of common resort in that quarter. When lying at Durban har bour, by Cape Serle, in lat. 67 1, long. 62 20, he discovered that the Esquimaux he has now on board possessed very extensive knowledge of the geography of the country, and from the willingness he showed to communicate whatever information was asked, the following facts were elicited. 1. That there is a bay which opens from the east side of Cumberland Straits, about 60 miles round Cape Easterly, in 64 55, and extends to the NE for about 140 miles, opening up to a breadth, in some places of 60 miles, and terminating in a point on the NW side. This frith is bounded on the north by an extensive range of mountains on the SW by a flat level country ; and on the NE by bold and jutting headlands. An arm of the bay penetrates a long way into the land from the NE extremity, and is separated from Kangrana, an arm of the ocean on the other side, near Cape Serle, by an isthmus of about 30 miles in length. This isthmus contains several lakes, in which are abundance of excellent salmon. There is a good deal of floating ice in the bay, but the tides are easy, and, in June and July, the ice breaks up and goes out to sea. The hay contains abundance of whales of all kinds, and, on the west side, there are four bights or inlets, measur ing about 15 miles in the mainland, by five or six miles broad. These are full of whales, one of them mostly of white Whales. 2. Thbusands of Esquimaux are located on the south-west side, in separate tribes, whose chief subsistence is on whales. They are particularly fond of young whales, and generally manage to secure as many in the breeding season as possi ble. They kill, or rather catch, the whales during June, July. and August, and generally provide themselves with a good supply for the winter months. They are exceedingly agreeable with each other, and not at all of a quarrelsome disposition. S. The climate appears to be more mild than it is in any other district on the west side ; and no danger is ever appre hended from floods-occasioned by the melting of the snow on the mountains in the warm season. 4. During all the time this Esquimaux, or " Bobbie," as he is familiarly called, resided among these tribes, he never saw a vessel in the bay, and is decidedly of opinion that there never were any British or foreign fishing vessels in that quar ter. Some of the tribes go down the Cumberland Straits, and traffic with the Hudson Bay Company, but it does not appear that any of the agents of that company have ever traced out the bay in question. Several tribes have now found the way across by the isthmus, already noticed, to Cape Serle. In this way Bobbie came over in 1837, and fell in with several of the Straits' vessels. From these facts, then, it is piai that a British settlement might be adventageously established at Davis' Straits, and we think enough has already been elicited from this Esqui maux to render his education a matter of great importance. Captain Penny has sketched out a chart of the new fishing ground, and it is impossible to observe the Esquimaux going over it along with the captain, and not feel convinced that his acquaintance with the country is most extensive and mi nute, and that his information may be strictly relied on. STATE OF TRADE. PRESTON.—There has been, during the week, a rather bet ter inquiry after yarns, and at previous prices, more than the usual business could be transacted. Goods have also been in better demand, and for some descriptions an advance of 3d. per piece has been realized. On Thursday, however, in Manchester, business relapsed into a state of almost com mercial inaction, and the purchases, at the commencement of the week, were made on behalf of various speculators— owing, no doubt, to a belief that, whatever betide the future prices of cottons, or the continuation of the pressure for mo ney, yarns and manufactured goods cannot be reasonably expected to fall lower than the present marketable value. The spinners and manufacturers were never situated so in auspiciously as at the present; for whilst, within the last month, cottons have made an advance, which although of a temporary nature, of a full id. per lb., yarns and goods have actually, within the same time, become more and more de pressed. Some six or more failures have occurred in the neighbourhood of Manchester since last week, two of which are somewhat considerable in extent and amount. One Joint Stock Bank again figures as the almost solitary creditor. The banks are still unsparingly pulling up, and the " screw," to use the American phrase, is tightened to the agony point." The state of trade here must, we fear, undergo a further " fitful fever" before a revival of any permanent kind can come to pass.—Preston Chronicle. HALIFAX.—Trade continues slack in this town beyond all precedent. Yarns dull sale. Wools of most kinds are bet ter to buy. HUDDERSFIELD.—Things go worse and worse ; and it is difficult, indeed, to report correctly the state of trade here. Were buyers to appear, there is no doubt but every descrip tion of cloth might be had decidedly lower. Never were things in this district more completely stagnant, and, what is worse, no prospect of immediate amendment. LEEns.—lt is a difficult thing to convey an idea of the stagnant state of things in our cloth halls this week, though perhaps not worse than for the last fortnight. Until there are some remittances from the United States, as well as some speedy settlement about the late seizures in that country, to say nothing of the momentary difficulties in which the coun try finds itself entangled, it were vain to hope for any amend ment. There has not been enough of business done to esta blish either a fall or otherwise in prices. Manufacturers seem not to know how to proceed, and many talk of standing still for the present. Our foreign merchants are literally do ing nothing. BRADFORD, TurnusnAr.—There has been another very dull piece market to-day ; but though dull, it does not affect prices, they having, for some time past, been deemed at the lowest point. The manufacturers, too, have for a long time past regulated their productions by the sales, by which means stocks are as light as they well can be.—Yarns : Spinners continue to curtail the time of working, so as exactly to meet the demand for their productions ; and though trade, so far as extent of business is concerned, it is as dull as can be con ceived, yet, from there being no stocks of moment, prices are as last stated.—Wool: Prices unaltered. A cube of gold, of little more than five inches, on each side, contains the value of 440,000 sterling. THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD. DESCRIPTION OF THE ISLAND,'AND OF THE ADVANTAGES TO BE DERIVED FROM EMIGRANTS TO THAT COLONY. (From a New York paper.) The island of Trinidad belongs to the British empire. It lies only ten degrees north of the equator ; frost and snow are consequently unknown, whilst the air is tempered by the trade-winds, which blow regularly from the eastward. The extreme heats of the coast of Africa or of the East Indies are never experienced, the thermometer generally ranging from 72 in the morning to 85 at noon ; being the ordinary temperature of a mild summer at New York. Flowers are always in blossom and trees always in leaf. Indian corn, of which two crops can be raised in the year, sweet potatoes, yams, plantains, and pumpkins, constitute the chief vege table food of the inhabitants. Rice also grows luxuriantly, and yields abundantly ; and every description of garden stuffs, such as cabbage, lettuces, beans, peas, cucumbers, tomatos, and egg plants, can be raised easily at all times; all the fruits of the tropics, oranges, lime, lemons, pine apples, melons, guavas, pomegranates, bannas, sapadillas, avocade pears, called sometimes vegetable butter, with innumerable others, grow and produce with scarcely any eare or attention. The spices of the east may soon be made a valuable article of commerce by an industrious population. Cinnamon, cloves, and nutmegs are found to thrive there luxuriantly. Of the latter there is at present a stock of growing plants in the botanical garden ready for distribution to any settlers who may require them. The quality of the nutmegs has been tested in Great Britain, and found to be equal to any brought from the east. In four or five years the young plants begin to bear, and require no more attention than an apple orchard in this state. The soil of the island is in many places of inexhaustible fertility : situated at the mouth of the great river Oronoco, it consists principally of the alluvial deposit of that mighty stream, and it is no uncom mon pract i ce among the sugar planters to place their cattle-pens on the banks of a rivulet for the purpose of casting in the manure, and getting rid of it with the greater facility. The island contains about 2400 square miles in surface, of which not more than one-tenth has yet been granted. The remainder belongs to government, and can be purchased by settlers who require it ; in which case it is put up to public sale and knocked down to the highest bidder. The usual price of wild lands, in the most fa voura bl e s it uat i ons, h as not exceeded two dollars an acre. It is invariably covered with a thick forest of trees, some of which are very valuable as dyewoods, and others of the most durable descriptions are fit for buildings and mill-work, besides those which are adapted for the ornamental work of the cabinet maker. With the exception of one range of mountains, from 1200 to 2000 feet high on the nothern side, the surface of the island is nearly level, but generally undulating, so that it is naturally drained without trouble or expense. No part of it is encum bered with loose stones or rocks. Even the mountainous range above mentioned is covered with a luxurious growth of forest timber, and may be cultivated wtth cocoa, coffee, and pimento to its very summit. It is the only British colony which produces cocoa abundantly. The chocolate manufac tured from it is greatly superior to that of the Brazils, and nearly equal to that of Carraccas. From the light labour which its cultivation requires, and the cool shade of its beau tiful groves it has also been a favourite pursuit with indolent Spaniards. Indigo grows everywhere as a wild weed ; but it has never been cultivated, in consequence of the superior profit derived from the cocoa and sugar estates. An article which the island is capable of producing abun dantly, and of the finest quality, presents itself to the peculiar attention of emigrants from these states—namely, tobacco. A small quantity has been raised for many years by a few In dians composing a Spanish mission at Siparia, in the centre of the island; it is used only for smoking, and has been pronounced by competent judges to be equal, if not supe rior, in flavour to the best Principe or Havana cigars. The Indians are too indolent to raise more than they require for their own consumption, and the English planters are totally ignorant of its growth and manufacture. The cultivation of this article would seem to open a rich field of profit to enter prising men, and would require little or no capital to establish it. Among the many blessings conferred by a bountiful Pro vidence upon Trinidad, one of the most conspicuous is its entire exemption from hurricanes and droughts. These two dreadful scourges, with which the other British West India islands are so frequently afflicted, are unknown in this fortu nate colony. Good water is consequently to be found every where, and the mountain streams are amongst the purest in the world. While the surface of the island is thus well watered, and naturally drained, the temperature is always moderate. The Gulph of Paria abounds with fish and turtle of the finest quality ; and so numerous are the whales, that Chris topher Columbus named it "El Golfo de Balena"—the Guiph of Whales. Only two small establishments have as yet engaged in this valuable fishery. On the eastern coast a belt of cocoa-nut trees, planted by the bountiful hand of nature, cover the sea-shore for an in definite extent. One steam-engine has been erected for the manufacture of cocoa-nut oil, and the refuse of the pulp of the nuts is found to be an invaluable article for the fattening of hogs and other stock, whilst the oil is a desirable article in all parts of Europe and America. These nuts are to be had only for the trouble of picking them ; are in qnantities sufficient to supply a number of manufactories ; and would alone afford profitable employment to a large population. The great inducement, however, to an emigrant who wishes to raise himself in the scale of society, is the political and social advantages which the coloured inhabitants of Trinidad enjoy over that of any other part of the world. Slavery has been utterly and entirely extinguished therein by the British government, and no exclusive privileges now elevate a white man above his coloured brethren. A council of government, Consisting of twelve gentlemen, in which white and coloured are mingled, are appointed by the Queen to legislate for the whole colony. Judges are also appointed and paid by the Queen to administer justice cheaply, and, as it were, at every man's door throughout all the rural districts. One of the judges is at the present time a coloured gentleman, and more will be appointed whenever they can be found qualified by education for the office. A perfect equality, therefore, of respectability and dignity is enjoyed by the coloured popu lation, not only by law, but socially and practically through out the colony. All religious sects of every Christian denomination are equally protected and supported by the government. No tithes of any description are levied. The pastors of every church receive moderate annual stipends from the colonial treasury. There are at present in the colony nineteen churches and eleven chapels, affording religious accommoda tion to 40,000 souls ; and whenever the inhabitants of any district are in want of aid to build a church or chapel, the government invariably grants from the colonial funds a sum equal to that which the inhabitants may have raised by pri vate subscription. In proportion, therefore, to the increase of the population will their religious wants be promptly and satisfactorily supplied. The number of public schools amount to seventy-six, at all which children who attend are instructed gratuitously, when their parents are unable to afford the expense. There are, besides, several private schools, at which children of all denominations are admitted. Great exertions have been made latterly in the colony to furnish proper instruction to the whole of the population, and the number of schools is fast increasing, among which those of the Mico-charity stand deservedly highest in public estimation. Upon a review of the foregoing statement, it will easily be perceived that the fine island of Trinidad holds out the high est encouragement to the industrious and enterprising emi grant. Labour and help of all kinds is at the present time in the greatest demand by all the sugar planters. An able and willing man can there easily earn, between sun-rise and sun -set, by labour requiring no more skill nor toil than the ordinary weeding and hoeing of corn in this country, one sil ver dollar, and these wages can be earned every day in the year, except Sundays, as the moderate temperature of the climate never interferes with agriculture• But it is not to the mere labourer—to the individual who is content all his life to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, that this state ment is addressed. It is particularly intended for the man of enterprise and ambition, who is determined to raise him self and family to a respectable station in society. Let the reader only imagine'an individual deeply convinced of the propriety of such a resolution, and the following is the course of action he would be recommended to pursue. He will shortly see advertised the name of a vessel engaged to carry passengers to Trinidad. Let him then leave his name, and the number, sex, and ages of his family who, intend to accompany him, either at the office of the Coloured Ame rican," or with the agent of the colony of Trinidad, or at other stations to be appointed in various other parts of the country, and employ the time which will be allowed him pre vious to her sailing in winding up his affairs. On going on board, he will require to take with him only the wearing ap parel necessary for himself and family during the passage. Everything requisite for his and their maintenance whilst on board will be provided for at the expense of the colony of Trinidad. On his arrival there, the agent-general of emi grants will visit the passengers the moment the vessel drops her anchor. The especial duty of this officer is first to as• certain that all the passengers have been well and handsomely treated whilst on board, in default of which the owners of the vessel remain unpaid. Secondly, to inform those who have money and wish to purchase land, how and where they can procure it, and the best situation, and on the most reasonable terms ; and then to assist those who are without money, in pointing out without delay comfortable situations, so that no man disposed to work shall be obliged to lay out a cent for the maintenance of himself and family whilst in search of employment. So great is the demand for help, that he will probably have the choice of several situations. He can en gage himself to a sugar or a cocoa planter, who will readily pay every able adult in his family, male or female, eight, ten, or twelve, and even as high as sixteen dollars per month, according to their respective abilities, and find them besides in comfortable lodgings, food, and medical attendance. He can contract for twelve, six, three, or only one month if he pleases. But a sensible man will select a period of twelve months, which will enable him to witness a whole revolution of the seasons : to ascertain the periods to sow, and the periods to reap ; to learn the best modes of cultiva tion, which vary something in every country ; and to accus tom himself to the climate. At the expiration of his contract, if a prudent and temperate man, be will have the whole amount of his wages to receive without ileduction from his employer. This sum will then be at his disposal to invest in land, of which he will find no difficulty to purchase the best in excellent situations, disencumbered of wood, and ready for cultivation, at five to ten dollars per acre. He may either invest one-half of his earnings in the purchase of land, reserving the remainder for the support of his family until his crop is ripe ; or he may invest the whole, and by his personal labour for two days in the week on any sugar estate in the neighbourhood, whilst the other four are devo ted to his own little farm, maintain himself and family until his own crop is ready for market. The island of Trinidad is distant from New York about 2000 miles ; with a fair wind, therefore, the passage may be easily made in twelve or fourteen days ; but three weeks ma: be considered an average voyage without fear of disappoint ment- Independently of the ordinary opportunity by merchant ships, a British packet sails regularly every fortnight, from thence to the island of St. Thomas ; and from the latter port vessels are sailing to New York and other ports of the Uni ted States every week. An emigrant, therefore, in Trinidad, would not find him self shut up in a distant part of the globe, in the midst of barbarians ; but surrounded by a free, happy, and prosperous population, could constantly correspond by letter with his friends and relatives ; could safely and easily remit to them money, by order of the colonial bank in Trinidad, on their agents, Messrs. Maitland, Kennedy and Co., in this city ; and whenever the fancy seized him, could as easily pay a sud den visit to his associates and the land of his birth. New York, August 27, 1839. RELIEF FOR DEBTORS. — To-day at twelve o'clock, and every day next week, a great public meeting will be held in Wall-street, for the purpose of seeking relief from the banks, and to persuade them to suspend specie pay ments. These meetings will be addressed by some highly respectable bank rupts, and other persons who soon expect to be so. Relief must be had, or thousands will never he able to pay their debts and keep their carriages also.—New York Morning Herald. GAMBLING AND SELF-MIIRDER.—On Thursday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, as two men belonging to colliers were rowing up the river, they observed a respectably dressed man precipitate himself into the river, just before they reached Greenwich whither they were going. They in stantly rowed to the spot, in the hopes of saving him, but the body sank, and was carried away with the stream. One of them, however, found a small slip of writing-paper float ing, on which was written, " I am an unfortunate man, who has lost a splendid fortune and my last penny at the accursed gambling h —s. I have not a friend in the world." He was a tall man, and apparently about forty years of age.— Morning Herald, EXERCISE.—Tbe late Sir Walter - Farquhar, when pre cluded by age from going abroad, used to walk five miles a day in his house.—Curtis. How TO ENFORCE SILENCE.—The officers of the Scotch criminal courts create disturbance by calling " Silence !" to the auditory. In Cork they manage the matter better : they write " Silence" in large letters on a pi ece o f pas t e b oar d, stick it into the cleft end of a long white rod, and wave it in the face of any one whose voice is heard rising above a whis per. If this does not produce quiescence, the admonition is enforced by a rap on the head with the rod.—Phrenological Journal. SPIRIT DRINKING.—The spirit sh o p s i n Gl asgow amount- ed, at the last census, to one in every ten houses throughou, the city. The proportion is, of course, greater in the low districts. The following is the amount of spirits consumed in England, Ireland, and Scotland : England. I Ireland. Scotland. Population . . . 13,897,187 1 7,767,401 2,365,114 Gallons of Spirits....... 12,341,238 I 12,293,464 6,767,715 Thus it appears that the quantity of spirits annually consum ed in England is seven pints and one-ninth per head on the population ; in Ireland, rather more than thirteen pints per head ; and in Scotland, twenty-three pints per head ! When the drunkards in Glasgow become too poor to satiate their appetite for spirits, they now resort in a great measure to laudanum, which, in an adulterated state, is consumed in considerable quantities, and regularly sold by many of the chemists. &LA KSPEARE.—As there has been recently a renewed stir respecting the renewed orthography and pronunciation of the name of the bard, we cannot resist the inclination of stating, upon the authority of Mr. Mathews, ten or twelve years ago, that, in " the council book of the corporation of Stratford, during the period that John Shakspeare, the poet's father, was a member of the nunicipal body," the name oc curs 166 times, under fourteen different modes of orthogra phy, viz.:— L. Shackesper 2. Shackespere 3. Shacksper . 4 10. Shakyspere . 4. Shackspere 5. Shakespere 6. Shaksper 7. Shakspare 5 14. Shaxspear The spelling adopted by Heminge' and Condell, in the first folio edition of the plays, is Shakespeare, which seems to accord best with the family crest, a hand shaking a spear; yet the bard himself, in his signature affixed to a deed of sale, in 1613, wrote his name. Shakespere, and in his last signa ture to his will he wrote Shakspeare.—Literary Gazette. PITT AND THE FRENCH SPY.—Shortly after the breaking out of the French revolution, its advocates denounced our premier as " an enemy to the human race ;" that man, " so easy to live with," who sung the song about himself, called, " Billy Pitt, the Tory." His secretary one day told him, that a foreigner, who spoke English tolerably well, had twice or thrice asked to see him ; but, not looking like a proper applicant, had been sent away ; the great man's time being too pieuiuub for him to admit every stranger, who, on frivo lous pretexts, might seek to gratify an idle curiosity. But this person had said he should return in an hour_; the secre tary, therefore, thought it his duty to inform Mr. Pitt of such intention, and ask his further orders in the affair. " Have the goodness," said the minister, " to open the top left-hand drawer in th a t ca bi ne t, an d b r i ng me i ts contents. " These were a pair of pistols and a morocco case : opening the latter, he produced a snuff-box, in which was set a portrait. "Is that like our visitor ?" asked Mr. Pitt. "It is the man, sir," answered the secretary. " Ha! I have expected him for some days : he is sent over to assassinate me ; so, when he calls again, let him be shown up." " Sir !" ex claimed the attached retainer, " will you expose to danger your life, on which so much depends ?" " There will be no danger, I thank you ; but you may be within call, if you please." Accordingly the Frenchman, on his return, was ushered into the room where William Pitt sat alone, a loaded pistol in one hand, the miniature in the other. " Monsieur Mehee de la Touche," he said, calmly, " you see I am, in every way, prepared for you ; thanks to an agent employed by this government. Attempt my life, and your own in stantly pays the forfeit : at best, I shall have you secured, and given over to the law." The intended assassin stood paralyzed and stricken dumb by this coolness. " But," con tinued Pitt, " there is another alternative ; personal safety and high rewards are in your power. Sell your secret ser vices to Great Britain ; make your market of whatever in !brmation you can procure, that may guard us against the machinations of your country ; be, in fact, one of the neces sary evils which policy forces us to use in desperate cases ; do what no honourable man could do, to save yourself from speedy death ; your conscience is stained by intended mur der. Comply, perforce, with these conditions, and you shall be as liberally paid, as you must, by all parties, be justly des pised." The clever miscreant joyfully accepted these terms; and, for many years, earned the bribes of a spy in our behalf. —A Pinch of Snuff. THE HARE.—The hare is one of the most extraordinary animals in creation : of all quadrupeds the hare is the strongest and fleetest, by comparison ; those who have never handled a living hare can form no idea of her strength ; her powers of progressive motion are better understood, because, cours ing being general throughout the kingdom, she is seen to beat the greyhounds frequently, though not one-fourth of their size. If hares were coursed by one greyhound, few would be killed ; it may be justly remarked, that a hare derives great advantage in the turn, but we have more than once seen a hare (with only fair law) go straight away from a couple of good greyhounds, and run them out of sight. A hare which had been recognised for years in the township of Latham (belonging to Lord Skelmersdale), and had grown grey with age, beat' all the greyhounds brought against her, and was not often turned. We saw her coursed repeatedly ; once with two choice dogs selected for the purpose, and she beat them ; she understood her game remarkably well ; it was curiously interesting to observe how she manoeuvred to reach a hill or rising ground ; and when she had thus succeeded, it was surprising to observe how she strode away from her pursuers, the intervening space increasing every stride ; her extraordinary length behind giving her this decided advantage, under such circumstances. Notwithstanding the strength and speed of the hare, she is easily frightened out of her life. The late Colonel Thornton rode down a hare on Newmarket Heath in a few minutes for a wager. Coursing dates its origin from the most remote antiquity. Arrian wrote his thoughts upon it, A. D. 150 ; and that the ancient Gauls were fond of the sport appears evident from what has been handed down to us : but accounts transmitted through the barbarous period of the dark ages should be received with caution, at least in regard to detail ; for instance, we are told that the hares " were frequently taken alive from the dogs, and, after the greyhounds were taken up, were turned down for future sport." We are of opinion a hare would he little calculated for running, after having been in the sharp fierce grip of the greyhound, even if it were only for a few seconds. Xenophon, who lived three hundred and fifty years before Christ, wrote, a treatise on the chase, which proves he was intimately acquainted with hare bunting; and his observations on the form of the hare, her manners and habits, scent, &c are well worth perusal.—The Sportsman. SELECT EXTRACTS. A Dentist says he will advertise in our paper if we will take it out in tooth-drawing. We have two few already, sir. —Clipper, American paper. " Teddy, me boy, jist guess ho many cheeses there's in this here bag, a faith I'll give ye the whole five.". " Five," says Teddy. " Arrah, by my soul, bad luck to the man that tould ye !" A JOHNSONTAN TRUISM.—The zealots for liberty are often actuated by a desire of plundering wealth and degrading greatness, an eagerness to subvert and destroy, with very little care what shall be established. KANGAROO HUNTING.—After a short chase through the interminable depths of an Australian forest, I viewed him bounding at a prodigious pace across a grassy plain ; Fly and Trip hard upon his brawny haunches. Giving the " view holloa," with all the zest of a Meltonian, no object seemed too great for my enthusiasm to encounter, and several streams were charged and cleared, which few men in cooler moments would essay, with only shanks's nag beneath them. At length, having chosen his ground, the kangaroo wheeled quickly round, and stood at bay, defying, with terrific scratches, or rather rips, the best attempts of my courageous dogs to run into him. He was a noble fellow, standing (as I afterwards measured) 7i feet, and using his short fore paws, or flippers, armed with formidable talons, with all the skill and science of a well-trained pugilist. In vain did I look around in search of some weapon with which to assist my faithful, and now wounded, dogs ; when, just as a fallen branch of the eucalyptus presented itself to my notice, poor Trip was placed hors de combat by a rip, which stopped his kangaroo hunting for ever.—Sporting Review. MR. TELFORD AND THE ELLESMERE CANAL.—The ra pid progress of canal navigation in England had directed the attention of the gentlemen of Shropshire to the advantages of uniting the rivers Dee and Mersey with the Severn. They accordingly made the necessary surveys, and obtained the sanction of the legislature in 1793. Having been highly sa tisfied with Mr. Telford's management of the public works, the county magistrates offered to him the superintendence of this new and complicated nndertaking. Our author unhe sitatingly accepted the offer; and from that time he directed his undivided attention to civil engineering. In conducting the Ellesmere Canal, as this work was called, Mr. Telford possessed peculiar qualifications. Skirting, as it did, the base of the Welsh hills, no fewer than two aqueduct bridges of unusual extent were required to cross the valleys of the Ceriog and the Dee, and for such purposes architectural ex perience was pre-eminently necessary. The. first of these works, namely, the Chirk Aqueduct, is an object of great interest. It was completed in 1801, at au expense of £20, 1 898, crossing a picturesque valley seven hundred and ten feet wide, and carrying a canal at a height of seventy feet above the bed of the river. It is twenty-two feet wide, and con sists of ten arches, each of which is forty feet span ; and, from the perfect equality of them all, the bridge has a grand and imposing appearance. But the werk possesses still higher merits. Hitherto our aqueduct bridges retained the water by means of puddled earth resting on masonry ; but in many cases, even in the works of Brindley, the action of frost had burst the masonry, and thrown down the aqueduct. In order to avoid such accidents, Mr. Telford, in place of I filling up the spandrills of the arches with earth, constructed them with longitudinal walls, and across these the canal bottom was formed by cast-iron plates fixed in square stone masonry ; the sides of the canal being made waterproof by ashler work, backed with burnt bricks laid in Parker's ce ment. Interesting, however, as this fine bridge must ever be, it is eclipsed by the Pontcysylte Aqueduct, which crosses the Dee, and adds new beauty to the pictures q u e va ll e y o f Llangollen. In the d es i gn of this magnificent work, which was completed in 1805 at an expense of £47,018, Mr. Tel ford adopted a new method of construction, which has since been generally followed. The height of the canal was no less than one hundred and twenty-seven feet above the Dee, and after the width of the valley had been shortened by embank ments, one thousand and seven feet still remained to be cros sed. Mr. Telford saw the risk, as well as the enormous cost of constructing an aqueduct of such length and height by piers and arches of stone ; and therefore conceived the idea of carrying the canal over the valley in a cast-iron trough, supported on cast-iron arches, and resting on stone piers. The piers are twenty in number, including the two abutment ones; and are united by nineteen arches of forty-five feet span. The piers are of solid masonry to the height of seventy feet, but the upper fifty feet of them is built hollow, with one cross inner wall; a device which not only saved masonry, but lowered the centre of gravity of each pier. The parapet of both the Chirk and Pontcysylte Aqueducts is an iron rail ing, which gives lightness and elegance to the structure. We had occasion, in 1808, in the company of Mr. Telford, to ex amine both these magnificent works, and were filled with ad miration not only of the skill but of the taste of the engineer. —Edinburgh Review. MOSAIC WORK.—We are told, in the Book of Esther, that Ahasuerus had in his palace "a pavement of red and blue and blue and black marble." In Britain and other countries once inhabited by the Romans, tessellated or mosaic pave ments have frequently been discovered, proving that the art was known to them. In 1799 there was a mosaic pavement discovered near Seville, in Spain, a little way below the sur face of the ground. It is forty feet long by thirty wide, and contains a representation of the circus games in the centre, three sides of which are surrounded by circular compartments containing figures of the muses, &c. In the race-course are chariots overturned, the charioteer thrown,horses in confusion, and horsemen dismounted : the charioteer appears to be in jured by his fall, and is supported by two men. Several spec tators are looking on at the sports. The compartments arc occupied by the muses and their respective attributes, the centaurs, children in variously coloured tunics, and animals of various kinds. The floor between the different compart ments also exhibited various birds, fruits, and flowers ; and great diversity of colour is seen throughout the whole. A si milar mosaic has been discovered near Lyons. It is com posed of small marble cubes, sometimes interspersed with pastes of different colours, and is about sixteen feet by ten. The whole details of the circus games are represented, from which it appears that not less than eight chariots started at a time, some of which are broken, and the horses and cha rioteers have fallen. The horses are white, grey, and pale bay, and havean elegant and animated appearance. A num ber of spectators, generally clothed in blue, surround the circus. On the roof of the baptistry of the church of St. John, at Ravenna, according to Mr. Dalyell, the baptism of Jesus Christ is represented in mosaic, ascribed to the fifth century; the ceremony is performed partly by sprinkling, and partly by immersion. A circular compartment in the centre is occupied by Christ standing upright in the river, and John, holding a large mishapen cross in one hand, pours water from a shell or some vessel with the other on the head of Christ. It likewise contains a human figure, inscribed Jourdaun, rising out of th e wa t er , w hi c h i s probably a perso nification of the sacred river. This compartment is environed by full-length figures of the twelve apostles; and the whole is surrounded by a border, consisting of pulpits, altars, and other subjects. The modern Italian artists have been celebrated for the production of mosaics, which represent some of the pictures of the great masters. When Napoleon had posses sion of Italy, he ordered a mosaic copy of Lionardo da Vinci's celebrated picture of the Last Supper to be taken, the same size as the original, viz., twenty-four feet by twelve. The artist was Giacomo Raffaelli ; and the men under his directi• on, eight or ten in number, were engaged at it for eight years. This mosaic, which cost £7,500, is now in the possession of the Emperor of Austria.—Penny Magazine. COINAGE. —Coins are generally completed by one blow of the coining-press. These presses are worked in the Royal Mint by machinery, so contrived that they shall strike, upon an average, sixty blows in a minute; the blank piece, previ ously properly prepared and annealed, being placed between the dies by part of the same mechanism. Of these presses, and of the other machinery and operations used and carried on in the mint, an excellent account, with illustrative engra vings, has been given by Mr. Mushet, in the Supplement to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The number of pieces which may be struck by a single die of good steel, properly hardened and duly tempered, not unfrequently amounts at the mint to between 300,000 and 400,000 ; but the average consump tion of dies is of course much greater, owing to the different qualities of steel, and to the casualties to which the dies are liable ; thus, the upper and lower die are often violently struck together, owing to a fault in the lay 6--on, or that part of the machinery which ought to put the blank into its place, but which now and then fails so to do. This accident very commonly arises from the boy who superintends the press neglecting to feed the hopper of the layer-on with blank pieces. If a die is too hard, it is apt to break or split, and especially subject to fissures, which run from letter to letter upon the die. If too soft, it swells, and the collar will not rise and fall upon it; or it sinks in the centre, and the work becomes distorted and faulty. He, therefore, who supplies the dies for an extensive coinage, has many casualties and difficulties to encounter. There are eight presses at the mint, frequently at work for ten hours each day ; and I con sider that the destruction of 'eight pair of dies per day (one pair for each press) is a fair average result, though we much more frequently fall short of than exceed this proportion. It must be remembered, that each press produces 3,600 pieces per hour, but, making allowance for occasional stoppages, we may reckon the daily produce of each press at 30,000 pieces ; the eight presses, therefore, will furnish a diurnal average of 240,000 pieces.-13rande's Journal. THE VAMPYRE BAT.—It was 'during our excursion this day that I had an opportunity of witnessing (to me at least) a novel sort of sport. The vampyre bat, or flying fox, as it is called, is a species of animal well known in hot climates, about a foot in length, with wings, when extended, measuring sometimes four feet. Its head is something like that of a fox, whence it derives one of its cognomens, and during the day-time immense clusters of them, clinging to each other like a swarm of bees, some by their hind and others by their fore legs, are frequently seen suspended to the under branches of such trees as afford them shelter from the piercing rays of a noon-day sun. Some of the Indian castes on the Malabar and Canara coasts esteem their flesh as highly as we do some sorts of game; and, as they present a fine compact mass where every shot must tell, they are occasionally slaughtered by hundreds ; yet such is their tenacity of life, that the moment an unprepared shot enters their bodies, their claws or talons arc convulsively struck into the tree or whatever they cling to, and in that state they die, Hearing some of the natives [of Malabar] speak of a number con gregated together at a short distance, I determined to witness their mode of business. Upon their being pointed out to me, I fired with shot, and was much annoyed at none falling. A nativestanding beside me at his first shot dropped several ; and, seeing the others meet with similar success, I felt much mortified by a second u nsuccess f u l shot. Observing that every one who fired killed several. I scrutinized their load ing, and discovered that the shot they used had been pre viously soaked in strong chunam or lime-water, with which they were completely encrusted. I got a charge of these, and I found the result similar to when the natives fired : for it appears the chunam, when it enters the skin or flesh, causes such intolerable pain, that the muscular action of their claws is thereby relaxed to such a degree as to cause the animal to fall imediately.—The Sportsman. THE CHILDHOOD OF THE DUCHESS OF ST. ALBAN'S.-- Who her father was is not very clear; he passed at Cork for an officer of the name of Mellon from India, on a sick fur lough, and either married or carried off her mother, the pretty assistant to a milliner there. Returning to India, he left his lady in the way to have a daughter; and was never satisfactorily heard of more. The widow, who had previously been stage-struck, and accompanied an itinerant company on a Welsh circuit, rejoined them as dresser, and soon after married a young fiddler in Lancashire of the name of Entwisle. Between the orchestra and the dressing-room, they picked up a scanty subsistence, but paid all the attention they could to little Harriot's upbringing and education ; who, in good time, rewarded them by appearing successfully in small cha racters till she reached Little Pickle at Ulverston, in 1787, when about ten years old. Before this we are told, " One great source of Harriet Mellon's influence over her fellow pupils was, the wonderful fact that she had actually been a performer in a play with Manager Bibby's actors. The cha racter, to be sure, was not a very arduous one, being that of one of four mourners ranged round Juliet's bier. But then, as the smallest and prettiest of the little girls, she was placed in front nearest to the lamps, and was consequently the prima donna of the juvenile mutes; and she used to look forward to the giving out of that particular play (and the consequent white frock with its broad black sash) as an event exceeding all others in importance. The future comic actress, therefore, decidedly came out first in tragedy. Although too young to appear in any character, except such as one o f th e little princes in the To w e r , s h e already could recite with con siderable fluency, and she like Wise could sing very prettily to the accompaniment of the violin. Those who remember her singing thus, state that she was always placed standing on a table, so that her sweet little silvery voice might be on a level with her audience. Mr. Entwistle used to carry her to dif ferent houses, to dance hornpipes to his playing; and after executing the dance on the same elevated stage, she used to run round its edge to levy contributions for her avaricious relatives." —Memoirs ofthe Duchess of St. Alban. PRIVATE FORTUNES OF SOME OF THE GREAT PERSON AGES OF ANCIENT TlMES. — Creesus possessed in landed property a fortune equal to £1,700,000, besides a large sum of money, slaves, and furniture, which amounted to an equal sum ; he used to say, that a citizen who had not a fortune sufficient to support an army or legion, did not deserve the title of a rich man. 1 The philosopher Seneca had a fortune of £2,500.000. Lentulus, the soothsayer, had £3,500,000. Tiberius, at his death, left £23,625,000, which Caligula spent in less than twelve months. Vespasian, on ascending the throne, estimated all the expenses on th e s t a t e at X 3,500,000. The debts of Milo amounted to £600,000. Caesar, before he entered upon any office, owed £2,905,000; he purchased the friendship of Curio for £ s oo,ooo,'and that of Lucius Paiilus for £300,000. At the time of the assassination of Julius Caesar, Anthony was in debt to the amount of X 300,000 ; he owed this sum to the Ides of March, and it was paid before the Kalends of April ; he squander6d £347,000,000 of the public treasures. A ppicus expended in debauchery, £500,000 ; and finding, on examination of the state of his affairs, that he had no more than XBO,OOO left, he poisoned himself, because he considered that sum insufficient for his maintenance. Julius Caesar gave Servilla, the mother of Brutus, a pearl of the value of £40,000. Cleopatra, at an entertainment, gave to Anthony, dissolved in vinegar, who swallowed it, a pearl worth £BO,OOO. Claudius, the son of Esopus, the comedian, swallowed one worth £BOOO. One single dish cost Esopus XBO,OOO. Caligula spent for one supper £BO,OOO, and Helio gabulus £20,000. Misalla gave £400,000 for the house of Anthony. The fish from Lucullus's fishponds were sold for X 35,000. The usual cost of a repast for Lucullus was £20,000. Scaurus's country house was destroyed by fire, and his loss was estimated at £850,000. Otho, to finish a part of Nero's palace, spent £487,500. THE THREE Looxs.—The Short Look.—The habitual or every day look, named the sensual, having a point of con vergence which, though falling always short of the object, may lie at various distances from it, does not regard all the different objects which presents themselves in the field of view as an entire whole, but expresses rather an effort to sin gle out some particular object, or even some portion only of an object with which it may occupy itself more exclusively. In this case there is in the mind some determined bias, some natural capacity, which, if correctly appreciated and followed, allows the individual to succeed in one particular line of life for which he is best fitted, but seldom in any other. He feels himself attracted by common and familiar objects, which he employs in the ordinary manner for their ordinary pur poses, neither impairing nor improving them. In him the activity of the eyes and of the hands are always united upon the same object ; and the point of convergence of the visual axes therefore does not extend beyond the reach of his hands. The mind of such a person is satisfied with the things which it ordinarily finds within a narrow circle of vision ; it has no other want : the look, therefore, never rests upon objects at a great distance. His ideas do not rise beyond sensible ob jects, and his mind is not even inclined to reflect upon impres sions and ideas derived through the senses. The individual is perfectly satisfied with the enjoyments of sense ; is more in different towards the moral feelings ; is contented to hear les sons of morality without taking further notice of them. Such men are not exactly to be feared, but it is necessary to be on our guard in our intercourse and dealings with them. — The Middle Look.—The habitual look to which the term in telligent has been applied, where the point of convergence coincides with the object, indicates a prevailing effort to single out and fix upon a particular object, or some part of it, yet to view it at the same time in the aggregate. Here also there is a natural bias in the mind to apply itself practically to or dinary things ; but there is more freedom in the exercise of its powers, and the mind reflects upon the ideas acquired through sensation. The objects are used, it is true, with a regard to their purposes; yet they are also compared with other things, and employed in connexion with them, and in various and experimental ways, from whence improvements and inventions frequently arise. Such men unite acuteness of the senses with the power of acute observation : they are ready at devising expedients, and skilful in investigating the true causes of things ; and according to the adage, know how to "hit the nail on the head." Their mind is not insensible to enjoyments of sense, yet does not feel itself satisfied with them; it seeks its gratification rather in methodical activity and in the exact sciences, in mathematics, mechanics, and in experimental inquiry. With regard to ethics, the individual inclines to rationalism ; he believes only what the understan ding comprehends ; he loves that which is true and just both in word and deed. Such men are cautious and suspicious in every thing, but when once their minds are convinced they are decided in their actions, and are therefore to be relied on ; in such men as them our confidence will not be misplaced.— The Through Look.—The habitual , look, termed the can templative, having a distant point of convergence, which, though always behind the object, may lie at various distances from it, attends principally to the ensemble and less to indi vidual parts, although it by no means overlooks the latter, or leaves them unobserved. There is here a natural inclina tion, not strictly speaking to extraordinary things, but rather to those which are not immediately obvious at the first glance, not quite common and familiar, and the true nature of which is only to be learned by meditation and reflection. Persons of this class do not make use of the things that come next to hand in a blind and empirical manner; and when they are occupied with ordinary things, they perceive more in these objects than actually appears in them, or they see rather their own ideas reflected in the objects than the objects as they simply appear. They are comparatively indifferent to the enjoyments of sense, although they do not despise them ; they live rather in the more refined enjoyments of the mind, are inclined to meditation and contemplation, to philosophical pursuits, and delight in framing theories. In a moral point of view, they perceive and honour that which is just and true in word and deed : sometimes, however, this perception or knowledge is overpowered by an intensity of feeling, which borders on the domain of passion ; but reason and the sense of right most frequently regain the ascendancy. Men of such character, though certainly never guilty of fraud or deceit, require to be treated with the greatest delicacy, attention, and respect ; otherwise they are not to be relied upon with implicit confidence. —Dr. Franz on the Eye and the Look. h(ppiit FRIDAY, NOVEMBER. 22.—Wind N.E.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 22. The demand continued good up to Wednesday, and as the quan tity offering was very limited, holders were - enabled to obtain an ad vance of fully id per lb on the common to fair qualities of American, and id on the common qualities of Surat, whilst other kinds re mained heavy of sale at last week's quotations. Yesterday and to-day the market has been well supplied, and the operations of Speculators having in a great measure ceased, purchases have been made at id per lb decline on American descriptions. 9500 American and 1000 Surat are taken on speculation, and 250 American for export.

The supply of Cattle has been most abundant; the greatest por tion of which, was of middling and inferior descriptions, prime Heifers sold readily at a trifling advance on last week's prices ; in middling and inferior qualities we have no alteration to notice ; prime Heifers 6d ; prime Bullocks 53d ; Cows and other middling Beasts 5d ; inferior 43d.

There has also been a little increase in the supplies of British Grain and Flour. From abroad the arrivals consist of 1050 qrs. of Wheat, 1900 qrs. of, Barley, 656 qrs. of Pease, 186 qrs. of Rye, and 19,100 barrels of Flour, the last named from the United States. The Customs' lists for the same period report duties paid upon 70 qrs. of Wheat, 1025 qrs. of Oats, 3626 qrs. of Barley, 2,820 qrs. of Peas, 996 qrs. of Beans, and 2708 brls. of Flour. The impost on Wheat is now 20s. Bd. per quarter. Though the trade has not by any means been of an active character, the week's business in old Wheat has been to a fair amount. At yesterday's market a few purchases were made for shipment to Ireland, and our last quotations are very fully sustained. United States sweet Flour has sold, free, at 41s to 425, and a few thousand barrels have changed hands, in bond, at 29s to 29s 6d per barrel. The large supplies of Oats and Oatmeal have been met by so inadequate a demand that prices of both have receded, the former fully 3d per bushel and the latter is per load : to-day, at Manchester, 3s 104 d per 451bs. was taken for the best mealing Oats, and 35s 6d per load was a top price for Oatmeal. Prime malting Barley is offering at 46s to 48s per quarter, but the maltsters are cautious buyers at those rates, Grinding samples of foreign have sold at 5s to 5s 6d. Irish new at 4s 3d to 4s 9d per 601bs. Beans and Pease fully as dear. • LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, NON. 22. Sugar.
