For further particulars and treaty apply as above. IN FRANCE. In the PROVINCE of BRITTANY, adapted to successful EMIGRATION FOR FARMERS of LIMITED IN COMES, and where the ENGLISH MAY POSSESS LAND and REAL ESTATES, with the same RIGHTS as the FRENCH. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart in London, on THURSDAY, August 8, at Twelve o'clock, in Two Lots, __ _ A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE Called the FANTON FARM. It includes About 650 ENGLISH ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND, a portion of which had remained uncultivated since the days of the Revolution in France in 1794. Prior to this period it was REMARKABLE FOR ITS FERTILITY, and as justice has at length prevailed over despotism and vio lence, and the title not only acknowledged, but indisputably good, having been establishsd by a " JUDGMENT OF THE COUR ROYAL," which condemned the Communes to make restitution, with " ALL COSTS AND DAMAGES," consequently it offers to an ENGLISH AGRICULTURIST and unquestionably safe investment, a fine field for his su perior skill, and a certainty in a few years of realizing his brightest, aye his fondest expectations. During the last year a considerable sum has been expended in Farm-yards and Agricultural Buildings, Cottages, &c. The Estate is situate about two miles from the picturesque OLD FORTIFIED TOWN OF MONCONTOUR. It is little more than twelve miles from St. Brieux, the PRINCIPAL SEAPORT TOWN AND CAPITAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE COTES DU NORD, and only about sixty miles from ST. MALO. with FINE MACADAMISED HIGH-ROADS, which bound the property above a mile, and which to the south conduct, at six miles distance, to LOUDIAC, a town of 6000 inhabitants ; and about four miles further, to the course of the CANAL FROM NANTES TO BREST, and also to L'ORIENT; and by way of auxiliary to never ending advantages, it is only about TWENTY HOURS SAIL from SOUTHAMPTON, whence magnificent Steamers depart several times in the week, and a pleasant remove from the ISLANDS OF JERSEY, GUERNSEY, and OTHER MARKETS, consume at good prices, the superfluity of grain and cattle, and steam navigation prompts an industrious yeoman to this aid only when great occasion commands. A large portion of the estate may be converted into THE FINEST MEADOW LANDS ; the remainder profitably adapted to sheep and arable farms. There are springs in the land, and water-mills near at hand. THE CLIMATE IS SO MILD, that it is assimilated to " THE SOUTH OF FRANCE." The English are exceedingly well received in Britauny, and there is a manifest desire to avail themselves of the benefit of PRACTICAL ENGLISH AGRICULTURISTS, as the native farmers are at least one century in the rear of English. THE ENTERPRISING AGRICULTURIST CANNOT FAIL TO SUCCEED, EVEN WITH VERY VERY LIMITED MEANS, if talent and industry be the accompanying attendants. To conclude—by way of encouragement to the English purchaser, Three Pounds per acre only will be required on completion, and the remainder may remain on security of the estate for three or five years. It may be remarked, in conclusion, that a large portion of the uncultivated land has, during the last two years, been ploughed up, and put into the best state. The crop of Corn now growing thereupon will demonstrate this fact beyond any doubt. Also, a very compact snug Farm, called CARFORT, of EIGHTY. ACRES, of which TWENTY ACRES ARE IN CULTIVATION, AND NOW IN CROP. Descriptive particulars to be had at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; the Printers of the " Manchester Times" and. " Advertiser," and Mr. Fisher, Auctioneer, all of Manches ter ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Office, London. VISITORS to LIVERPOOL, and its Inhabitants, will do well to make an early call at the MERCHANT'S TEA COMPANY'S WAREHOUSE, 87, LATE 44, GREAT GEORGE-kIREET, where they will find a sterling black leaf Congou Tea at 4s.

Before Mr. Robins ventures upon his fearfully difficult task, he may well ask for a little forbearance with a kind public, in not criticising too earnestly or too severely this, his first essay as connected with an attempt to describe a splendid Estate so nearly allied to THE CLASSIC CITY OF ATHENS, and so far removed from the usual sphere of his vocations — the city and its vast renown he may safely leave to those who are well read in the history of Greece ; hig task, fortunately, is only to give in the langaage of truth, however imperfectly told, an unpretending description of the property under re view. As it would require the pen of the immortal Byron to do it adequate justice, the writer may be well excused for approaching it with fear and. trembling ; he will, however, venture only at a round, unvarnished tale, leaving to the imaginative powers of those who seek such a splendid repose, to fill up the vast, immeasurable space, which his feeble effort must leave unaccomplished. The Villa may be thus succinctly described :—lt is suited to a family not very large, but whose minds are embued with reminiscences of the glory of this once famed city. " Shrine of the mighty ! can it be That this is all remains of thee ?" It is placed WITHIN THE OLIVE GROVE on the Plains of Athens, and from its lofty tower commands the MOST SPLENDID AND PICTURESQUE VIEW OF THE ACROPOLIS AND THE CITY, including the Mount Hymettus, and Pentelicus, the Pincus, Salamis, and indeed all THE ISLANDS OF THE .lEGEAN SEA. In superintending this magnificent Panorama, how awfully grand doth Nature's works appear, inclining the imagination first to believe, and at length the senses to concur in the realization of all those classical associations, which cannot fail to interest and encourage the enterprise, and lead to researches which the march of intellect has recently more than ever provoked. Oh, that the pen of the great Bard could at this moment lend its influential aid, and direct the one that now falters in the vain attempt to give a moderate portraiture of the Landscape ! but this is hopeless. A short summary of a few of the minor points for consideration must suffice with those who, while they would enjoy the Antiquities of Athens, are not insensible to the large income that is avail able by this purchase. It has already been noticed that the Demesne around the City numbers THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ACRES, the greater part under cultivation,. in Corn, Cotton, and Maize, beside LARGE PLANTATIONS OF OLIVE TREES ; THE VINEYARDS AND EXTENSIVE GARDENS are about twenty acres, walled round and planted on the celebrated site known as " THE ACADEMUS OF PLATO," and to which the river Cephisus becomes the irrigating stream, as well as to the smaller vineyard, which is allied to the abode. Within the garden-walls of Six Acres, are PLANTATIONS OF ORANGE AND LEMON TREES, and it must not be overlooked, as a special gift belonging to its produce, that HIS MAJESTY, THE KING OF GREECE, and his Queen—always on important occasions, when a splendid fete is given at the Palace, prefer to have the fruit from MR. BELL'S CELEBRATED GARDENS. Numerous Plantations of Mulberry Trees crown and vary the picture, and ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY BUTTS OF RED AND WHITE WINE. is the fair annual produce. There is beside CORN, WINE, AND OIL IN ABUNDANCE. It is to be hoped, and indeed is believed, that enough has been said to enlist the attention of those who are sensitive to the delight, and consequently know how to appreciate THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. If profit be also in their " mind's eye," they will find it at Athens to their heart's content. But there is still another class who may, and ought to be seduced to give a serious thought to this sale—alluding especially to those who dislike not longevity—throughout the world it would be in vain to look for a more congenial climate. NINETY-FOUR is not accounted OLD, and Doctors and Physic are very little in request. To those whom ambition leads to soar above their fellow-men, the proximity to THE COURT OF ATHENS, and the gratification cleaving self-interest for a moment out of consideration) derivable from frequent intercourse with " THE HIGH AND MIGHTY IN POWER," and the continuous intimacy with the " MOST REFINED OF EUROPEAN SOCIETY," under the paramount protection of England and France, completes a picture of which the possessor may well be en vious. A plan of the Estate and a view of the Villa, is in preparation, and may be had twenty-one days anterior to the Sale, at the Jerusalem, and Lloyd's Coffee Houies; Cornhill ; the Mart • and at Mr. Robins 's Offices, London. P.S. Building is proceeding as rapidly as in England ; Foreigners may possess Freeholds on the same terms as. the Greeks ; there is an English Church, and the Protestant religion is respected.

OWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL ; a Vegetable Dis covery of surprising power. During the Summer months, the additional caloric or heat caused by the action of the sun acts as a kind of stimulus upon the human frame ; and, by increasing the circulation, induces a quicker growth of the Hair. It is therefore at this period, that this important integument of the head requires additional care in its DRESS, CULTURE, and PRESERVATION, as the constant perspiration which exudes through the pores, tends to dry and discolour the hair, and causes it to split at the ends, as may be par ticularly observed through a microscope in hot weather. These symptoms, which are considerably augmented by Sea Bathing, but too plainly intimate—that the Hair, during the debilitating heat of Simmer, requires a powerful and effica cious nourishment—such only, indeed, as can be found in that truly fragrant and pellucid OiI—ROWLAND'S MACASSAR. The restorative, preservative, and beautifying properties of which are unequalled. It renders the hair silky and glossy ; induces curl ; preserves it in decorative formation—and, as a conservator of the hair, from the effects of warm exercise and sea bathing, will be found peculiarly felicitous ! PREVENTS BALDNESS AND GREY HAIR. CAUTION.—Ask for " _Rowland?* Macassar Oil," and ob serve that each bottle is (with a Treatise on the Hair, 31st edition,) inclosed in a Wrapper, on which are their Names and Address in Red, thus— A.

ROWLAND'S ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE. WARMTH OF CLIMATE is known to be extremely preju dicial to the Teeth—a reason why Summer is most inimical to their welfare, independent of the pernicious influence of the acidity of fruits peculiar to the season, which tend to cloud and corrode the surface or enamel. The Odonto is compounded of various Oriental Herbs—the chief virtues of which consist of their cleansing, anti-scorbutic, and preser vative powers. As a whole, the Pearl Dentrifice bestows the most radiant whiteness on the enamel, accompanied by a beautiful polish, which considerably adds to their beauty. At the same time it will be found to thoroughly eradicate all tartar and concretion, remove all decay, fix loose teeth firmly in their sockets, render the gums firm and red, and, above all, is distinguished for its aromatic influence in giving sweet ness to the breath.-2s. 9d. per Box, duty included.

AT a period like the present, when such efforts are being made, on all hands, in support of Church extension, when a cry has gone throughout the length and breadth of the land for Scriptural Instruction, it is truly gratifying to know that in Liverpool a strong feeling has been exhibited in this good work, proportioned in some measure, to the bless ings with which its own commercial interests have been attended, and certainly not inferior in point of energy and perseverance to that of any town in the kingdom. In proof of this assertion it may be stated, that for the last thirty years Church accommodation has been on the in crease at the rate of one thousand and some hundred sittings annually ; that in the year 1809, the provision made by the Establishment for the public worship of the Almighty con sisted of some ten or twelve Churches, capable of contain ing not more than so many thousand individuals ; whereas now, in 1839, the cloud which for a time overshadowed the land has in our days begun to drop fatness—to pour forth its showers, so as to leave few parts of this town unrefreshed by its mild and genial influence —there being at present in Li verpool and its environs, upwards of forty Churches, con taining an average of twelve hundred sittings each, in con nexion with our Protestant Episcopal Establishment; so that from the extreme limits of the Borough, north and south — from Kirkdale to Toxteth Park—there exists a chain of Tem ples for the worship of the TRIUNE JEHOVAH, and at such convenient distances as to leave every man within that range inexcusable who neglects to hear the glad tidings of a Saviour. But it may be asked—What of those other districts not less important and more populous than any to which notice has been hitherto directed? What has been done in fur therance of this " good work" in the neighbourhood of our shipping stations, along the densely-crowded shores of the Mersey? What for the large and rapidly-increasing popula tion of Windsor and its precincts ? We reply that, as to the Christian nothing seems done whilst anything remains to be done so these truly important and populous districts have not escaped the notice of the Christian philanthropist, as is abundantly testified by the exertions lately put forth in their behalf by the Clergy and their several congregations, and with such triumshant success. It is hardly necessary to advert to the formation of the Liverpool Church Building Society, since which time the erec tion of several new Churches has been decided on ; funds to a very considerable amount Itave been raised ; suitable situ ations for some of the intended Churches secured ; the work now proceeds briskly and auspiciously—and all within the short space of a few months. When, in addition to the above, it is stated that, in the neighbourhood of Windsor, also, a large and beautiful Church is now in progress of erection, and that thus no chasm remains to be filled up, every man, who is really a friend to the Church of our Fathers, to a pure, chaste, and Scriptural system of Religious Worship and Instruction, must in his heart rejoice, seeing that " this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes." It now remains briefly, but specially, to notice the new Church of St. Saviour, Windsor, with a view of enlisting the sympaqiies of the Protestant public in its behalf. For many years past various efforts have been made to secure to this portion of our town the advantages of adequate and convenient Church accommodation ; but from one cause or other, these efforts, it is to be lamented, have proved abortive. The difficulty of procuring land of good title and satisfactory tenure, want of funds and other impediments, have stood in the way of their accomplishment ; but it is matter of thankfulness to be enabled now to announce, that these obstacles have been almost wholly surmounted ; that land, freehold of inheritance, has been purchased in a most desirable situation ; that a plan has been adopted, a Com mittee formed, Trustees named, and the work of building already in so advanced a state, as to justify the hope of its being opened for public worship early in the summer of 1840. In behalf of this Church an appeal is now made to the In habitants of Liverpool ; and when it is considered that thus an elegant and convenient place of worship will be afforded to the wealthier portion of the community—that the same advantages will be extended to the middling classes, and at moderate expense--that four hundred sittings will be appro priated to the use of our poorer brethren, and that the bless ings of a solid and Scriptural Education, through the medium of Sunday, Daily, and Infant Schools, will, .with God's assistance, be put within the reach of not less than ONE THOUSAND CHILDREN, it is hoped that this appeal will not be made in vain, remembering that "there is that scattereth, and yet increaseth ; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty." The foundation stone of St. Saviour's Church was laid by the Rev. AUGUSTUS CAMPBELL, on the 15th April last. Contributions in aid of the prosecution of the work will be received at the BANKING HousEs previously named, and also at the STANDARD, COURIER, and LIVERPOOL MAIL Newspaper Offices. J.

Dr. RAFFLES. Edge-hill, February, 1839. " Gentlemen, —I am exceedingly obliged to you for having afforded me a sight of the elegant volumes you sent for my inspection. Your edition of the Bible, in the beauty of its typography - , and the taste displayed in its decorations, is certainly unique; and I trust that many will be induced to make a book, so precious as to its contents, and so graceful in its ornaments, the medium of expressing their regard for those relations and friends to whom they desire to present some token of their esteem. " I am, Gentlemen, yours very truly, " THOMAS RAFFLES. " Messrs. Fisher, Son, and Co., London. " This is an age of wonders as it respects the efforts of the Press. Never was the art of printing so well understood as it is in the present day. The illustrated Family Bible' is a striking proof of the truth of these remarks. As a specimen of typography it will be regarded by the best judges as unri valled in taste and beauty ; and in economy to the public it is no less remarkable. With pictorial illustrations, eminent for their skill and adaptation, a Commentary long establish e d in the public confidence, and a Concordance written on a new and improved principle, it is offered to families at an incon ceivably moderate sum. As a present to a newly-mairied couple, just entering on the responsibilities of domestic life, it may prove the means of extensive good to generations yet unborn."—Evangelical Magazine, February, 1839. *** The ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE is also pub lished in TWENTY PARTS, at 2s. 6d. - large, or ls. 6d. small paper.

PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF THE ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER DISTIN GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND CLERGYMEN OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND, AND OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A. IT is intended that this great National W or k s h a ll comprise I a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland, both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of America ; and the distinguished patronage with which this undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to the nation at large, as well as to the members of our venera ble and Apostolic Church. The above Work is in the same size and style as the Con servative Portraits, now publishing by Messrs. Dawe and Gowar, 8, Regent-street, London. The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire to see the sacred ties of Christian affection drawn more closely between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and their Congregations. To the Clergy who may wish to possess Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are over them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical friends ; and of living authors whom they have read and esteem, the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure. To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica tion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantages of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake." The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal, being the great objects proposed to be recorded. The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is given, together with a list of any religious or literary works which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority, that it would add much to the interest and'value of the work, if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such communications. And as only aboTit four pages on an average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural illustration, brevity will be highly desirable. The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art, and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and one of the most splendid that has ever appeared. A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective Memoir, will beiptiblished on the first day of every alternate month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by seven. a. d. Price of each Part, India Proofs Ditto ditto, Imperial Quarto Proofs .12 0 For the convenience of Subscribers and others, each Plate may be had separately.

They will be carefully preserved, and returned free of expense ; but where no Portrait exists, the Proprietors will have one painted expressly for the Work at their own expense. Part I. is now ready, containing a Portrait and Memoir of THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER. THE REV. HENRY MELVILL. RYALL'S CONSERVATIVE PORTRAITS.

The following document has been been published by desire of the Marquis of Hastings : " APPEARANCES OBSERVED ON INSPECTING THE BODY OF THE LATE LADY FLORA HASTINGS, JULY 5, 1839: " There was a great emaciation of the whole person. " In the chest: the heart and lungs were in a perfectly healthy state; but there were extensive adhesions of the pleura (or membrane) covering the right lung to that which lines the ribs—evidently of long standing. " In the abdomen : there were universal adhesions of the peritoneum (or membrane which lines the cavity and covers the viscera), so that it could not be said that there was a sin gle organ which was not, at every point on its surface, inti mately connected with the parts in its vicinity. The liver was very much enlarged, extending downwards as low as the pelvis, and upwards so as very materially to diminish the the capacity of the right cavity of the chest. The gall bladder contained a small quantity of bile. The liver was of a very pale colour, but its structure was not materially different from what exists in the healthy state. The stomach and in testines were distended with air ; their coats, especially the muscular, were very much attenuated. The spleen and pan creas were free from disease. Some of the mesenteric glands enlarged. There were a few small deposits of unorganised yellow matter, apparently in the substance of the adhesions. " The uterus and its appendages presented the usual ap ► - pcarances of the healthy virgin state. " From the character of the adhesions it was plain that they could be referred only to inflammation at some former and distant period of time. The effect of them must have been to interrupt the passage of the contents of the stomach and intestines, and in various ways to interfere with the due performance of their functions. (Signed) " W. F. CHAMBERS, M.D., HENRY HOLLAND, M.D., ASHLEY COOPER, B. C. BRODIE, JOHN MERRIMAN." WHIT'S IN A NAME ?—I have often been amused, during my residence in Kentucky, at the high-sounding Christian names which have been given to the negro servonts. " Byro n tell Ada to come here directly." " Now, Telemachus, if you don't leave Calypso alone, you'll get a taste of the cow hide."—Captain Marryat's Diary in America. AN UNLUCKY SWAP.—I was told a singular fact, which will prove how rapidly the value of land rises in this country as it becomes peopled. Fifty-six years ago, the majbr part of the land upon which the city of Cincinnati stands, and which is now worth many millions of dollars, was swapped away by the owner of it for a pony ! The man who made this unfortunate bargain is now alive, and living in or near Cincinnati.—Captain Marryat's America. AMERICAN INGENUITY IN EVADING THE LAW.—The very first object of the Americans, after a law ha s b een passe d, is to find out how they can evade it. This exercises their in genuity ; and it is very amusing to observe how cleverly they sometimes manage it. At Baltimore, in consequence of the prevalence of hydrophobia, the civic authorities passed a law, that all dogs should be muzzled, or rather the terms were, " that all dogs should wear a muzzle," or the owner of a dog not wearing a muzzle should be brought up and fined ; and the regulation further stated, that any body convicted of hav ing " removed the muzzle from off a dog should also be se verely fined." A man, therefore, tied a muzzle to his dog's tail (the act not stating where the muzzle was to be placed). One of the city officers, perceiving this dog with his muzzle at the wrong end, took possession of the dog, and brought it to the town-hall. Its master, being well-known, was sum. moned and appeared. He proved that he had complied with the act, in having fixed a muzzle on the dog, and farther, the city officer having taken the muzzle off the dog's tail, he in sisted that he should be fined five dollars for so doing.— Capt. Marryat's Diary in. America. LANGUAGES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.—It is worthy of remark, that there is no civilised country in Europe in which not only so many different dialects prevail, but so many different languages, as in Great Britain.—Yorkshire has its peculiar dialect ; Lancashire, Northumberland, Cumberland, theirs. The peasant of Worcestershire understands not him of Westmoreland ; and still less can he of the latter county hold any intelligible communication with the cockney. In the vicinity of Cambridge, if you talk good English to a la bouring man or small farmer, they touch their hats, beg your pardon, and passing on, in evident reluctance to continue the conversation, avow themselves to be "no scholars." In. Scotland the dialects, and especially the twangs, are as va rious as in England. Yournative of Aberdeen understands not him of Glasgow ; and your Paisley " buddy," learned in politics and cunning at the loom, 'gapes, stares, and looks unutterable astonishment, when he is addressed by a mau of Tweeddale. The Irish are more uniform in their dialect when they do speak English ; the thing chiefly remarkable to them being the accent. All this is anomalous ; but not so much as the fact that we have, in the two islands denomi nated Great Britain and Ireland, five distinct languages cut up into so many dialects that it would be endless to enume rate them. There is the Faglish lamtuage. nrnberli, cr% , ttic oetneli language ; and there are the Gaelic, the Welsh, and the Irish languages.—Solomon Seesaw. PORTRAIT OF THE COMMERCIAL TRAV ELLER . Th e entire turn-out the tout-ensemble of the affair, bespeaks, beyond mistake, the first-rate commercial traveller. But we shall direct attention to the man himself, and mark his " points" as we proceed. First, observe his hat, a perfect modern bit of quakerism. His whiskers "of luxuriant growth" are partially hidden by a dashing spotted Cash mere shawl, which covering the lower portion of his face, just leaves room for his half-smoked cigar to pass over. His upper coat is a handsome " blue Taglioni," with a blue velvet collar. A large box-coat with many capes and a curricle collar, is thrown over the back of the gig ; and partly covering that, is seen a Mackintosh wrapper. His inner, or walking coat, is a bright blue cutawoy with gilt buttons ; his waistcoat is of the last new commercial cut, a crimson silk and worsted, with black cheques and a white spot in the centre ; there are large flaps, in the olden style, over the pocket, and on the left side a small breast-pocket for his neat little gold watch. (This, by the way, is not the waistcoat which he sports when off duty ; that is very likely to be of light-blue satin.) His tailor has proba bly been charged not to conceal, by looseness of measure, the turn of a muscular and well-formed leg, justifying the pride its owner takes in it; and his neat boot of Spanish leather equally exhibits the handsome pretentions of his foot. Such, without flattery, is our friend of the road—the " com mercial gentleman."—Heads of the People for July. LAUGH WHEN YOU MUST.—CONNUBIAL FELICITY.— Mr. Slang used to say, "my horses, my boys." Mr. Slang now invariably says, " our horses, our boys," or our farm. This substitution of our for my, by Mr. Slang, was brought about thus :—Mr. Slang had just married a second wife. On the day after the wedding, Mr. Slang casually remarked, " I now intend to enlarge my dairy." " You mean our dairy, my dear," replied Mrs. Slang. " No," quoth Mr. Slang, " I say my dairy." " Say our dairy, Mr. Slang." " No, my dairy." " Say our dairy, say our,' " screamed Mrs. Slang, seizing the poker. "My dairy, my dairy I" vocifer ated the husband. " Our dairy, our dairy !" re-echoed the wife, emphasising each our' with a blow of the poker upon the back of the cringing spouse. Mr. Slang retreated under the bed clothes, and remained under several minutes waiting for a calm. At length his wife saw him thrusting his head out at the foot of the bed, much like a turtle from his shell. " What are you looking for, Mr. Slang ?" said she. " I'm looking, my dear," snivelled he, " to see any thing of our hat." The struggle was over. It was our horse, our dairy, and on the next Sunday morning he very humbly asked her if he might not wear our clean linen breeches to church. THE LEAPING BUTCHER.—The metropolis and its sur rounding district produces some of the best and hardest riders in England ; and I have seen and heard of one or two instances which would bear comparison with many of the break-neck feats of the sister kingdom. There is a butcher named Selmes, of Godstone, who is noted for his nerve and the extraordinary knack he has of making any horse jump : cart-horse or race-horse is all the same to him when once on their back ; go they must at whatever he puts them at, and no horse is ever in his hands a month without becoming a jumper. With a snaffle bridle and the buckle of the rein in one hand, the head quite loose, a good ash stick in the right hand, and one spur on the left heel, he charges gates, stiles, hedges or brooks, and refuse they dare not, for the ash plant is sure to catch them on the side of the head, if they offer to turn to the right or the left. They may fall if they please, and they very often do at first, but they . soon become quite as much afraid of doing that as of refusing. The man him self is as active as a cat, and seldom gets hurt. There is a very high and pointed barred gate, leading off the common into the paddock belonging to the kennel; I should think it could not be less than four feet nine inches ; and one day in the summer While up at the kennel chatting to some of the people, he began to show off his horse by jumping him over some hurdles and a rail round a stack. He then, without much of a run, rode at this gate, and over he went, but the horse struck the top of the spikes with his hind feet, and broke two of them, and at the same time one of the stirrup leathers gave way. This not pleasing him, he turned the animal short round, and brought him back over it again, and then a third time out of the field over it again, both the last times with only one stirrup, and going at least a foot higher than the gate. The horse was afterwards bought for £lOO by Sir E. Antrobus.—Sporting Magazine for July. DINING OFF A BADGER.—We continued our walk, with out seeing elk or common deer ; when suddenly, as we were crossing a high stony ridge, he pointed out au animal moving along it, which stopped behind a great stone, and thence peeped out, staring at us. We were now savage and hungry, and ready to devour a wolf, if we could get nothing better ; so I levelled my rifle, and shot this unknown skulter by the stone. On going up to him, he proved to be a grey badger. I knew that in the north-west highlands of Scotland this aninal is sometimes eaten, and his hams (when cured) are considered a great delicacy. My young companion made rather a wry face at the idea of feeding on what he had always considered abominable vermin; but professed himself open to conviction, and willing to make the experiment ; so we forthwith skinned and cleaned the creature ; and as I felt sure that neither my German friend nor my Scotch servant would taste it if they knew what it was, I determined to play them a trick for their own advantage. We accordingly cut off its head and tail ; and, carrying it back to the camp, told them we had brought them a young bear-cub ? They both examined it, and neither detected the imposition. We made our soup, and I broiled my badger ; his own fat was all the basting he required ; and when he was served up, we all agreed we never had eaten more sweet or excellent meat; it had but one fault, being so exceedingly fat that it surpassed in that respect any pig or other animal that I ever saw ; fortunately it was young, or it could not have been so tender as it actually was. While we were eating it, the younger John cast many significant and comic glances at me, and I had the greatest difficulty in main taining my gravity ; however, I did so, and in order to heighten the effect of my joke, I contrived to turn the con versation upon the various meats and animals which prairie travellers might be often constrained by hunger to eat. After mentioning in succession the beaver, the fox, the bear, the wolf, &c., I said to the elder J o h n , " S upposing we were hard pressed for food, how would you like to partake of a badger ?" The answer, most , emphatically deli vere d w i t h a v i sage of hor ror and disgust, was, - Lord ! sir, I'd rather starve than eat that nasty vermin !" We concluded our dinner ; and our two .unconscious badger -fed companions prosecuted their journey merrily, congratulating themselves on the excellent dinner which the youngbear had afforded.

AT a numerous MEETING of the Inhabitants of Liver pool,• held on THURSDAY, the 11th of July, 1839, 'at the Szssiows House, and convened by his Worship the MAYOR, in compliance with - a Requisition, to petition Par liament in favour of Mr. ROWLAND HILL'S PLAN for the REDUCTION of POSTAGE, the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted : HUGH HORNBY, Esq., the Mayor, - in the Chair. Moved by WILLIAM BROWNE, Esq.iseconded by ADAM HODGSON, Esq., _ . . That whilst it is a subject of great gratification to this meeting to know that government have decided upon the adoption of a plan for reduction of the existing high rates of postage on letters, it also appears from what transpired on the debate of the sth of July instant, in the House of Com mons, on the subject of an unifor m p enn y p os t age , th a t grounds for serious apprehension exist that this highly.. important measure may, from various circumstances, be postponed until a future session of parliament. And that it is, therefore, highly desirable that the strong feeling which pervades all parties in favour of immediate measures of legis lation, for securing a boon so anxiously desired, should be again promptly manifested to both Houses of Parliament. Moved by SAMUEL HOLME, Esq., seconded by SAMUEL GAUL, Esq., That it is the opinion of this meeting that the low rate of postage proposed would prove a source of great moral and social benefit to the community ; and from the great conse quent increase of communication it may be reasonably ex pected that there will be no ultimate falling off in the Post office revenue ; but should this decrease, contrary to expecta tions, prove to be the case, this meeting feels confident that all classes of her Majesty's subjects would unite in a ready and cheerful acquiescence in any measure which may be deemed advisable by the government to make good the deficiency. Moved by WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq., seconded by D. NEILSON, Esq., That ;+ be referred to A Prt”....akez. prepare a Petition, to be presented to both Houses of Parlia ment, expressive of the earnest desire of this meeting that the proposed reduction of postage be carried into immediate and complete effect, and praying that the members of the legisla ture will not rise from the labours of the present session without sanctioning an act for effecting this most important and national benefit. That the Mayor be requested to sign the petitions, on behalf of the meeting, and that the Com mittee do consist of Mr. Brown, Mr. A. Hodgson, Mr. Samuel Holme, Mr. Daniel Neilson, and Mr. Walmsley. A vote of thanks to the Mayor, Hugh Hornby, Esq., for his conduct in the chair, was afterwards carried by acclama tion. • EGREMONT. HOTEL, LISCARD, CHESHIRE.
