THE SABBATH MORN. BY CHARLES SWAIN. (From a pleasant little Miscellany published at Huddersfield, in aid of the Sunday and Infants' School of that place.) Light of the Sabbath—soul -awakening morn, Thou mirror of the mystery above ! Oh ! sainted daY, on prophet pinions borne, How waits the heart thy solemn rest to prove ; How longs the soul with Deity to move, And drink thy deathless waters !—and to feel Thy beauty—and thy wisdom—and thy love— Sublirncly o'er the soaring spirit steal, - Till ope the heavenly gates Jehovah to reveal ! Whilst, mounting and expanding, the mind's wings Thus like a seraph's reach eternal day ; Futurity its starry mantle flings And shrinks the past an atom in its ray ! So mighty—so magnificent—the way Which leads to God !—so endless,—so sublime ! The skies grow dark, their grandeur falls away Before the worldless glory of that clime Which feeds with light the suns and thousand worlds of time! Light of the Sabbath—soul-awakening morn ; Take me, religion, on thy holy quest ; Lead me 'mid desert hills, the wild and lorn, To mark the lowly shepherd hail his guest And bless the voice which ever leaves him blest ! Makes his rude cot an altar to God's praise ! Where 'neath a mother's pious bosom prest His child, with little hands, and upward gaze, Pleads for its parents' health, and happy length of days ! Sun of the Sabbath—lead me to the vale Whose verdant arms enfold yon village fair : Afar from towns where passions stern prevail,— Afar from commerce and her sons of care— Guide me where maidens young for church prepare In cottage grace—aud garments Sunday-white ! With reverent step, and mild submissive air, Oft let me hear their tuneful lips unite To hail with humble hearts the Sabbath's sacred light!! Oh, sight the loveliest human eyes e'er found ! To view two sisters o'er the same page bend, Their lovely arms each other's waist around — Their soft, bright hair in careless ringlets blend — Their mingling breath like incense sweet ascend Over God's book—his angel-book of truth ! Their hearts, minds, feeling, all emotions lend A vision of that paradise of youth Ere Adah's beauteous form drooped 'neath the serpent's teeth : Morning of worship !—with thy beams arise Devotions sanctified by memories dear ; With thee the hymns of nations wake the skies ! The broken prayer ;—the sinner's contrite tear ; Hail, blessed morn, that brings the distant near ; Bids kindred meet the hallowed page around : Pours comfort in the friendless Widow's ear, For who the wild birds fed whilst winter frowned, Will succour her poor babes when she sleeps in the ground ! Some hand, she prays, an infant school may raise ! And learn—oh task divine !—their lips to bless ! Teach them that hope the book of Christ conveys, To he their consolation in distress ! And he—the father of the fatherless — The sheltering wing of the poor orphan dove, — God,—more than words may show—or thought express, — Shall aid them with his own almighty love ! For Angels plead for these—the motherless f—abo ve ! Hail Sabbath hour !—Hail comforter and guide! Hour when the wanderer home a blessing sends ; Hour when the seaman o'er the surges wide To every kindred roof his heart extends ! Hour when to all that mourn thy peace descends! When e'en the captive's bonds less sternly lower : Hour when the cross of Christ all life defends ; Hour of salvation !—God's redeeming hour ! Eternity is thine !—and heaven-exalting power ! LET THERE BE LIGHT. BY CHAS. SWAIN (From the same work.) Let there be light !—Creation heard The mandate of its God—tt e first ; And light flashed onward at his word — A universe from darkness burst ! Let there be light !—and for the mind That inward light of man was given ; The glorious gift of human kind Which emulates the rays of heaven ! Let there be light !—and Jesus trod The sin-stained earth, to seek and save ; Led by the radiant hand of God To light the death-bed and the grave ! For this,—apostles prayed and wept,— For this—the Saviour left the skies, To watch the night of error set! To bid the christian morn arise ! That light on every shore be thrown : Where'er the savage once abode, There may the Bethlehem Star be known — There may we find the church of God ! We bless thee for the light of earth, — We bless thee for the mind's pure flame ; For light our saviour brought to birth, — Et, real God, we bless thy name ! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. FACTORY LABOUR AND THE CORN-LAWS. (From the Morning Herald) During the discussion in Parliament, last night, of the Ministerial Factory Bill, it will be seen that Mr. Hume and Mr. 'Villiers deprecated any interference on the part of the Legislature, between the sellers and the buyers of labour. It is easy (according to these " philosophical" gentlemen) to dell in the language of sympathy for the poor; but where may be found the remedy for the evils of the existing system ? " I," ex claimed Mr. Villiers, "have proposed a remedy. I proposed a repeal of the Corn Laws ; and cheap bread would, assuredly, bring with it to the operative lighter work and better wages." It is strange that gentlemen like Mr. Villiers should be permitted, almost unrebuked, to give utterance to these stupid fallacies. The Corn Laws of this country can have no connection, as a cause, with the excessive toil to which factory labourers in this country are sub jected. The proof is obvious. In countries where there is " cheap bread"---:in the South of Italy, more especially, where all the necessaries of life are low priced—the period of factory labour in each day is longer than in England. If Mr. Villiers and his party did riot happen to be utterly wrong in all their asser tions and assumptions in reference to the Corn Laws, the factory operative in various continental countries ought to work during far fewer hours than the factory operative in England does. The reverse is, ho never, as we have already stated, notoriously the case ; and if the:English Corn Laws were repealed to-morrow, the effect would, assuredly, be to increase the toil of the English factory slave. " Cheap bread" in England would increase competition on the part of continental factory owners ; and increased competition on their part would, of necessity, add to the miseries which now embitter the lot of the English operative. We leave, for the moment, out of view, the new distribution of labour in this country to which a repeal of the Corn Laws would give rise—a new distribution, which would increase incalculably the now tremendous influence which the buyers of labour exercise over the sellers. There is much force in the observation of Mr. Bro therton that all enactments framed on the principle of the existing law, or of the measure which is now under the consideration of the legislature, are liable to eva sion. This objection, however, applies (it may be in a fainter,degree) to Mr. Brotherton s suggestions on the subject—nay to all proposals for shortening the hours of labour, so long as " the moving power" itself shall remain unchecked. It may be doubted, in short, whe ther, unless the speed of machinery employed in fac tories he regulated, and the period during which ma chinery is kept in motion each day, be shortened—the horrors of factory slavery can ever be materially alle viated. A tax on all machinery—a tax increasing in amount as the horrors during which machinery might he employed would increase—would appear to afford the easiest mode of divesting the factory system of its barbarous character. To allege that such restraints upon the productive energies of our manufacturing system would prove injurious, is sheer nonsense. We produce too much, and too fast—because we produce upon a false system. 'We produce for foreign mar kets ; we produce for worse customers than we might easily find at home. Prices abroad, as the economists truly declare, regulate prices in this country ; and as the price of the manufactured product declines to suit the comparative poverty of the foreign consumer, the wages of the manufacturing operative fall in the same proportion. Every . extension of our foreign trade on the present system injures to a corresponding extent that most valuable of all trades—the home trade ; and, therefore, a salutary check imposed on the exten sion of our foreign trade would prove eminently bene ficial to all classes of the English community, except ing idle consumers, and a small band of speculators whose profits arise from the distribution, not from the production of our staple commodities. The existing foreign trade of England is plunging the labouring classes deeper and deeper, every year, into misery. The misery of the labouring classes involves the deep est injury to all the permanent interests of the coun try. Nay, the factory owners engaged in manufactur ing for foreign markets begin to feel the disadvantages of the system which they have, hitherto, so eagerly maintaine]. The smaller capitalists are every day sinking before the competition of the larger. A tax on the mechanical agencies which are employed in ma nufacturing production would, in truth, prove scarcely a greater boon to the poor factory slaves, than to the majority of the factory owners themselves. THE .DEATH OF LADY FLORA HASTINGS. (From the Morning Herald.) Lady Flora Hastings is dead. The broken-hearted victim of unfeeling detraction is delivered from her persecutors; but the recollection of her fate will not soon pass away. It will live with the memory of her virtues as long as the sufferance of innocence, hurried by calamity to an early grave, are remembered and re gretted upon earth. Great, indeed, were the sufferings of a sensitive na ture, wounded to the quick by the shafts of malignant falsehood, aimed at the pure and unspotted reputation of one of the most amiable of her sex. Of mild, in genuous, though somewhat reserved and retiring dis .position,and with a heart overflowing with generous sensibilities, Lady Flora was but ill qualified to strug gle against the cruel malice by which her fame and feelings were assailed. Possessed of talents and accom phshwerits that would have graced a court, where there were noble natures that knew how to appreciate such .qualittes as adorned her, the very merits of a character :so modest, so refined, so elevated, only provoked in the palace of her Sovereign, the envenomed assiduities of "ti 3 Ort-ttraliee which embittered her life and rendered de-4th a deliveatice: vas.- It may be truly said of Lady Flora Hastings, " Her virtues VAire searcititel awed I** *pop b ber:" Had she been less gifted than she was with those qualities of mind and heart, which reflect more than the lustre of high birth upon exalted rank, the secret blow of that malevolence which destroyed her happi ness and undermined her health, would not have struck her ; but even in her fate her sufferings are avenged ; there is gloom upon the palace, and mourning among the people ; but the public sorrow is not unmingled with an indignant recollection of the cruel persecution which has led to this fatality. We may hear of post-mortem examinations and of " organic diseases," but, whatever might have been the constitutional state of the sufferer, there can be no question that her death was hastened by the immedi cable wound of the poisoned arrow that destroyed her peace of mind. " Hceret lateri lethalis arundo," though her character was invulnerable, her mind never recovered the agony of the struggle. It is a circumstance worthy of being noted at the present time, that when the late Marquis of Hastings was on his death-bed at Malta, where nothing could exceed the filial devotion of Lady Flora, he called his family around him, and, in bidding them a last fare well, spoke, among other things, of the pain he felt in leaving his children, then very young, to the trials which awaited them in a cold-hearted and calumnious world. It would almost seem as if the expressions which he used were dictated by a prophetic antic'pation of the fate of one of the most beloved of those children, which has plunged his whole family into unutterable affliction. Little did the noble father of the future victim of courtly detraction think that in the place of one of the royal descendants of the Sovereigns whom he so faithfully served the blow could be struck that would inflict upon his family the desolating sense of peculiar bereavement. But the fair sufferer sleeps well—afflicted virtue has found the repose which cannot be taken from her—let us pity her persecutors. The pangs of calumniated innocence are over—theirs have but begun. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY. Business was languid and unimportant, the only change of any moment being in the Goodwood Cup, for which Hark away was backed at 3 to 1, and Deception at an average of 11 to 2. The first movement is accounted for by the Cup Race at Cheltenham ; and the other by Mr. Fulwar Craven's declaration that his mare will be sent to the Liverpool July Meeting, for the purpose of entitling her to the 51b allowance, provided in the Goodwood Cup conditions. Morella has advanced to 12 to 1 for the Goodwood Stakes, and Blooms bury a truffle for the St. Leger. A few bets were made on The Commodore, The Provost, Hetman Platoff, and Mal volio, without leading to any alteration. The July Stakes were scarcely mentioned ; we should state, however, on the authority of her noble owner, that it is very uncertain whether Crucifix will go for it. A dull afternoon closed as under : JULY STAKES. 9 to 4 agst Lord Exeter's lot (tk) 2to 1 „ Lord G. Bentinck's Crucifix sto 1 „ Lord Exeter's Stamboul sto 1 „ Mr. Knight's Margaret colt.

WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY. (From the Scotsman.) The duties on legacies and successions afford instructive evidence of the vast wealth of the country. A return, just published, supplies the following facts on the subject. Capital on which legacy duty was paid in Great Britain, in 1838 : Rate of Duty. 1 per cent .. 21 per „ 3 Capital : £23;434,627 164,381 14,600,235 21,656 1,650,504 433,178 21,351 4,978,985 5 6 8 10 Amount for 1836 Ditto for 1837 £45,304,917 41,768,806 42,617,582 £129,691,305 Average for three years £43,230,433 From this return we find that the value of the personal and moveable property annually disposed of in legacies, exceeds forty-three millions sterling. Of this sum, about one-half (paying one per cent) goes to children or their descendants ; one-third (paying three per cent) to brothers, sisters, or their descendants ; one 28th part (paying five per cent) to uncles, aunts, or their descendants ; oue 100th part (paying six per cent) to grand-uncles, grand-aunts, or their descendants ; and one-ninth part (paying ten per cent) to very distant re lations or entire strangers. The proportions are nearly the same for each of the three years. But to this must be added the value of property which falls in succession. Of this we can only make a rough estimate from the gross amount of the duty paid on probates, admi nistrations, and testamentary inventories. 1838.—Duty paid on legacies in Great Britain £1,282,001 Duty on probates, administrations, &c. 927,966 £2,209,9G7 We have no means at hand of ascertaining what proportion the capital bears to the duty (which varies widely with cir cumstances); but assuming that it is the same as in the case of the legacies, the amount of personal and moveable pro perty falling to individuals each year by succession will be £33,000,000. That of both will be — Property falling in annually by legacy £13,000,000 Ditto by succession 33,000,000 £76,000,000 This does not include the property passing by conveyance in the way of gift, in order to elude the legacy duties, or from other motives. Comparing Scotland with England, the legacy and probate duties for 1838 are— England—Legacies Probates, &c £1,207,701 872,190 Scotland—Legacies . Probates, &c £2,079,894 £74,297 55,775 £130,072 The property falling in annually by legacy and succession, in Scotland, seems to be to that in England, as 1 to 16. This proportion does not represent the comparative wsalth of the countries, as the amount of their taxes shows. Money falling in annually by legacy—in Scotland, about £2,627,000 Ditto ditto in Ireland 2.315,677 Ditto ditto in England It will be observed, that the amount for Ireland is actually less than for Scotland. The rational and considerate practice of making wills seems to have gained ground rapidly, as the following table shows : CAPITAL ON WHICH LEGACY DUTY WAS PAID. In 9 years, ending 1805 £ 3,700,000 7. • .. 1812 1820.. 7 .. .. 1827.... 6.. .. 1833 3.. .. . 1838 43,230,000 EMIGRATION OF GERMANS. —About 200 persons from Germany came this morning (Friday) by the Railway from Newcastle, by a special train, and were conveyed to the canal basin, intending to go to Liverpool to embark for America as settlers. A similar number will arrive in the course of the week ; and we understand that above 1000 settlers from Ger many are expected to pass through Carlisle.—Carlisle Patriot. There was a meeting of the conservative peers at Apsley House on Thursday afternoon. It was very numerously at tended. The Dukes of Beaufort, Dorset, Rutl nd, and Buckinghkun, Varquisses of Salisbury, Downshire, Tweed dale, Ely, arid Xiteb\try; Eat 4 of-11Ad'dihgton, Aberdeen, Cardigan, Wilton, Chesterfield, and Harrowby ; Lords Forester, Heytesbury, Ellenborou h, Hardwicke, &c., were Wail* POUF SELECT EXTRACTS. MORALS or MINING.—We see the Pasco miners always in the midst of riches, and always embarrassed ; they are kept in a state of continued tantalization. The miner, it is true, sometimes has immense and rapid gains,• in spite of rogues and plunderers everywhere about him, at compara tively little expense of time or money ; and this occasional success leads others-to. indulge in a hope of similar good for tune, which hurries the majority of speculators in this chan nel into pecuniary difficulties ; for, as we have seen, the ne cessary outlay is often great without any compensation ; and when the capital is too limited, though in the main the un dertaking be a good one, ruin is near. Shopkeepers and dealers in platapina are tempted by prospects of commercial advantage to lend money to the harassed mine-owner to enable him to forward his works, and to repay the loan in pina at so much per mare. Such a lender is called " habili tador" has a claim to be first paid, which leads to the worst practical results. The miner , is generally a reckless gambler, who spends money as fast as it comes to him, not in im proving his mines, but indulging his vices ; and in this manner the interest of the first hailitadors may be succes sively postponed to the claims of the most recent, who fre quently is disappointed in his turn ; while the difficulties of the miner are not removed, but merely prolonged ; and he is involved in everlasting disputes and litigation.—Dr. Smith's Peru. CREOLE LAZINESS AT BUENOS ATRES.—It will hardly be credited that water is an expensive article within fifty yards of the Plata, but so it is ; nothing can be worse than the ordinary supply of it. That obtained from the wells is brackish and bad, and these are no public cisterns or reser voirs, although the city is so slightly elevated above the river, that nothing would be easier than to keep it continu ally provided by the most ordinary artificial means. As it is, those who can afford it go to a great expense in constructing large tanks under the pavement of their court-yards, into which the rain water collected from the flat-terraced roofs of their houses is conducted by pipes ; and in general a suffi ciency may thus be secured for the ordinary purposes of the family ; but the lower orders, who cannot afford to go to such an expense, depend for a more scanty supply upon the itinerant water-carriers, who, at a certain time of day, are to be seen lazily perambulating the streets with huge butts filled at the river, mounted on the monstrous cart-wheels of the country, and drawn by a yoke of oxen—a clumsy and expensive contrivance altogether, which makes even water dear within a stone's throw of the largest river in the world. Taken at the very edge it is seldom of the purest, and gene rally requires to stand 24 hours before it deposits its muddy sediment, and becomes sufficiently cleared to be drinkable ; it is then excellent, and may be kept for any time. I have drunk it myself on board ship, after it had been two voyages to England and back, and never tasted better.—Sir Wood bine Parish's Buenos Ayres. CHANGE OF WIND.-But it is not the human constitution alone that is affected ; the discomforts of the day are generally increased by the derangement of most of the household pre parations. The meat turns putrid, the milk curdles, and even the bread which is baked, whilst it lasts, is frequently bad. Every one complains ; and the only answer returned is—" Senor, es el viento norte." (It is the north wind.) All these miseries, however, are not without their remedy; when the sufferings of the natives are at their climax, the mercury will give the sure indication of a coming pampero, as the south-wester is called ; on a sudden, a rustling breeze breaks through the stillness of the stagnant atmosphere, and, in a few seconds, sweeps away the incumbus, and all else before it. Originating in the snows of the Andes, the blast rushes with unbroken violence over the intermediate Pampas, and, ere it reaches, Buenos Ayres, becomes often an hur ricane. A very different state of things then takes place ; and, from the suddenness of such changes, the most ludi crous, though often serious, accidents occur, particularly in the river ; whither, of an evening especially, a great part of the population will resort to cool themselves during the hot weather. There may be seen, hundreds and hundreds of men, women, and children, sitting together up to their necks in the water, just like so many frogs in a marsh ; if a pampero breaks, as it often does, unexpectedly, upon such an assembly, the scramble and confusion which ensues is better imagined than told ; fortunate are those who may have taken an at tendant to watch their clothes, for, otherwise, long ere they can get out of the river, every article of dress is flying before the bale.—Sir W. Parish's Buenos Ayres. TENACITY OF LIFE IN A VULTURE.—We killed a vulture this morning at Laodicea. It was shot at about nine o'clock, and at the time was washing itself in a stream after its hearty meal upon the dead camel. It was wounded in the head and neck, and dropped immediately ; but upon taking it up, its talons closed on the hands of my servant, making him cry out with pain. He placed it on the ground, and I stood with my whole weight upon his back, pressing the breastbone against the rock, when his eye gradually closed, its hold re laxed, and to all appearance life became extinct. It was then packed up in my leather hood, and strapped behind the saddle. The day was oppressively hot, for we trod upon our shadows as we rode across the plain. Until this even ing (at eleven o'clock) the vulture remained tightly bound behind the saddle. My servant, on unpacking, threw the bundle containing it into the tent, while he prepared boiling water for cleaning and skinning it. Intending to examine this noble bird more carefully, I untied the package ' and what was my surprise to see it raise its he a d an d fix its keen eye upon me ! I immediately placed my feet upon its back, holding by the top of the tent, and leaning all my weight upon it ; but with a desperate struggle it spread out its wings, which reached across the tent, and by beating them attempted to throw me off. My shouts soon brought in Demetrius who at length killed it by blows upon the head with the but' end of his gun. My ignorance of the extreme tenacity of life of this bird must exculpate me from the charge of crueltyf —Fellow's Asia Minor. THE SPANISH LlBERALS.—Democratic opinions are no where more extreme than among the Spanish liberals ; but in no country is the philosophy of freedom, civil or religious, less understood. I remember talking to a liberal in Valentia about the inquisition, against which he proclaimed with a truly patriotic energy. That institution was most annoying, he said, from its interference with the freedom of private life. I hate oppression in any shape," he continued; " I am a friend to the human race ; if indeed there be a Jew among us, burn him, I say, burn him alive ; but interference with honest men like you and me, on account of our opinions, is beyond endurance." Such barbarous and grotesque discrepancies between the most intolerant practice, and a profession of the most liberal opinions, are, of course, among the higher order of Spanish liberals, corrected by greater information and greater knowledge of the world ; bi t the same utter miscon ception of the real principles of toleration actuates their con duct. The law, in their opinion, should, in theory, be equally applicable to all parties ; but to act on the principle of ad ministering the same measure of justice to the opponent, as to the friend of the prevailing policy, to the Carlist, as to the Queenite, would be reprobated as an indication of positive weakness, or, more probably, resented as a proof of covert treason. The notion of impartial dealing between man and man, without reference to the political opinion he may enter tain, is, in their eyes, a practical mistake, attributable only to incapacity or collusion.—Portugal and Gallicia, by Lcrd Carnarvon. PROGRESS OF NATIONS IN AMERICA.—In the newer American states, it is customary to celebrate the day on which the settlement of the district or town, or whatever it may be, took place. The fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of Cincinnati was lately celebrated, this being now a town of 50,000 inhabitants, exporting annually seven or eight millions of dollars' worth of argricultural produce, and having often forty of fifty steam-vessels lying at one time at the wharves. The whole territory was purchased at the beginning for forty nine dollars. One old man attended the celebration, who bad himself made the roof of the first house shingled in the place. A Mr. Tappan, whose age is about sixty, and who was lately chosen one of the federal senators for the state of Ohio, resides in a large town, called Ravenna, where he was the first man to cut down a tree. This state, in forty years, has acquired a population of a million. Florida is now about to apply for admission as a state into the union. For this she must show a population re . 50,000, which it is expected she will be able to do next year. Next year, also, two more ter ritories, called Jowa and Winconsin, which began to be heard of in America last year, and are as yet totally unknown in Britain, are expected to be in a similar condition, and to make the same application. The United States will then be twenty nine in number, instead of thirteen, as in 1775 ; and the stars on the national banner must be numbered accordingly. An additional illustration of the mushroom progress of all things in America is obtained from the fact, that the steamers on the western waters of the States have increased from 234 to 600 in the short space of five years. The States have now 800 steamers in all, of 155,000 aggregate tonnage, the largest being a vessel of 160 tons (!) which runs between New York and Nachez.—Letter in the Athenceum, dated " Boston, January 16, 1839. ALLIGATORS.—" Counted thirty-nine alligators, all of which were lying close together in one extended line. Some of them were very large. It is really horrible to witness them devouring that large fish called the bagre, for which they lie wait in the current and eddies of the river. They bring their huge jaws together upon their prey with a great noise and splashing, and then raise their heads out of the water in order to devour them, which occupies more time than would be expected in such a monster. Should they happen to seize upon the fish crosswise, they have great trouble in placing it in a straight position that they may swallow it, the blood running all the time over their hideous jaws. They sleep a great deal in the sun, with their mouths wide extended. Our boat would frequently get within an oar's'length of one without waking it up ; and, at this short distance, once or twice I poured a whole charge of duckshot directly into his throat ; but whether he survived or not I could not determine, as it invariably got to the water again. When we were about half a le4iie from Los dos Canos we stopped for the night ; the bogas stretched their straw mats on a beautiful playa (sand bar) of white sand. These mats, with their toldas over their heads, are the only beds they have. Moving around a large fire in the night, cooking their supper, with the white toldas raised around, they form an excellent tableau for a painter. These fires are also essential for warding off the attacks of the tigers and other wild beasts, whose tracks are to be dis tinctly traced on every playa in the river. All night long the splashing of the caymans is to be heard as they pounce upon the unlucky fish ; and it was with the greatest difficulty that I could pacify the women, and convince them of the impos sibility of these animals reaching their heads above the gun wale and lugging them off."—Stuart's Bogota. WALKING.—In the act of walking, the centre of gravity is raised alternately, over the legs. The motion somewhat rese►nbling that of a pair of open compasses, made to rest alternately on their points : the centre of gravity is over the fork of the legs, and may be imagined to be over the angle of the compasses. If, as the compasses are thus made to travel forwards, resting on their alternate points, these points are not placed in the same straight line, but alter nately to the right and left of it, then the centre of gravity will describe a series of arcs to the right and left, and it will not be carried so far forwards, by a certain number of steps, as though these were made in the same right line ; this corresponds to that ungainly motion in walking which is called waddling. It is remarkable, how near the footsteps of a person who walks well, are in the same straight line, as may be seen esyecially if we trace them in the snow ; this is, moreover, remarkably the case with birds, whose centres of gravity being for the most part very high, in comparisons with the dimensions of their feet, they are taught instinctively to avoid those deflexions of their bodies, to the right and left, by which they might be overthrown. Taking the width of a man's foot at about three inches, and giving him an average stature, it may he calculated that a deflexion of his body of less than two degrees would when he rests on either foot, be sufficient to overthrow him. How justly regulated, then, must be the effort which he makes at every step, to transfer his centre of gravity from above one of his feet to above the other, that his position may be kept within this narrow limit! Put upon his shoulders a burden, and you will raise his centre of gravity, and greatly increase the difficulty he will experience in balancing himself ; yet how firmly and securely does• he tread ! A man carrying a burden as heavy as himself, and inclining his position as he steps on each foot. only half a degree to the right or left of the position in which he would rest on the foot,- would be overthrown. At each step the centre of gravity is raised, and made to revolve over the foot. It is this raising of the centre of gravity, in which the whole weight of the body may be supposed to be collected, which constitutes the great effect of walking. It has been calculated that every step the centre of gravity is raised a perpendicular height equal to 1 11th the length of the step; so that a person who walks eleven miles, raises his centre of gravity, and therefore the whole weight of his body, a suc cession of lifts, equivalent to the direct raising of it, one mile. 1 saw six men, weighing each 1821b5., and a boy half that weight, walk at. the rate of elevetraniles in three hours, the aggregate of their labour, while thus walking, will be about. equal to' One power, as the amount -of '.a horse's power is usually estimated.”—Mosel,y's Illustration of ,fie. MILITARY Box MOT. When I was a cadet, my friend Cipriani commanded the Huntingdon Militia, at Woolwich. I observed to him the singular circumstance that all the other officers of the regiment were Captains White, Green, Brown; Lieutenants White and Gray ; and I believe an Ensign Black ; he replied—" Yes. my dear boy, we are a small body ; but, I. hope, in garrison or in the field, we shall never be so unfortunate as to lose our colours."—Benson Hill's Home Service. RESULT OF THE BALLOT.—OId John Randolph, the American orator, was asked one day, at a dinner party in London, whether the ballot prevailed in his state of Virginia, " I scarcely believe," he said, " we have such a fool in all Virginia as to mention even the vote by ballot, and I do not hesitate to say that the adoption of the ballot would make any nation a nation of scoundrels, if it did not find them so." John Randolph was right ; he felt that it was not necessary that a people should be false in order to be free ; universal hypocrisy would be the consequence of the ballot : we should soon say on deliberation, what David only asserted in his haste, that all men were liars.—Reza. Sydney Smith on the Ballot. SHADES FOR THE EYES.—Although it is improper to ex clude the light and air from the eye to so great an extent as is often done, care must be taken, not to fall into the oppo site error of leaving the eyes exposed to the full glare of the sun, or the action of the wind. Bonnets with small fronts and narrow-brimmed hats are therefore unfit for those whose sight is weak, and indeed for any one. I have myself re marked the effect produced on my e}es by wearing a hat with a narrower brim than usual. Children especially should have a broad front to their caps, and yet it is now the fashion for them to wear caps turned up in front.—Curtis on the Preservation of Sight. DOMESTICATION OF THE OWL.—We do not see why the owl, if domesticated, might not be a valuable assistant to the husbandman. If there were one or two belonging to every rick-yard and barn, they would well repay a little trouble, and would be at work while others sleep. The habit of taming birds or other animals is of no little use in forming kind and patient dispositions in the young. Those who have seen the storks in Holland building on the cottage roofs, and stalking about the road-side and dykes, will not think this a hopeless attempt. It is by continual and often wanton per secution that all the lower animals are driven from us; and their dread might soon be overcome by kind treatment. Those who reside in the country might thus derive a con stant source of innocent amusement.—R. A. Slaney's Bri tish Birds. ADVICE TO LITERARY MEN.-It is highly conducive to the comfort and durability of the eye to vary frequently the posture in which any employment is carried on ; this being a very effectual way of preventinc , too great a flow of blood to the head : for example, the student and man of letters oueht to be furnished with a high desk, at which they should stand to read or write alternately with sitting. This, simple as it seems, if tried would, I am confident, so strongly com mend itself by its beneficial influence, not only on the sight, but on the general health, that they would not easily be in duced to abandon the custom. To their constant habit of sitting, and seldom changing their position, there can be no reasonable doubt that very many of the complaints, peculiar to literary men are owing.—Curtis on the Preservation of Sight. CONSUMPTION.—There is a dread disease which so pre pares its victim, as it were, for death; which so refines it of its grosser aspect, and throws around familiar looks un earthly indications of a coming change—a dread disease, in which the struggle between soul and body is so gradual, quiet, and solemn, and the result so sure, that day by day, and grain by grain, the mortal part wastes and withers away, so that the spirit grows light and sanguine with its lighten ing load, and feeling immortality at hand, deems it but a new term of mortal life, a disease in which death and life are so strangely blended, that death takes the glow and hue of life, and life the gaunt and grissly form of death; a disease which medicine never cured, wealth warded off, or poverty could boast exemption from ; which sometimes moves in giant strides, and sometimes at a tardy sluggish pace, but, slow or quick, is ever sure and certain.—Nickleby for July. THE BALLOT.—I observe Lord John Russell, and some important men as well as him, saying, " We hate ballot ; but if these practices continue we shall be compelled to vote for it." What ! vote for it, if ballot is no remedy of these evils ? Vote for it, if ballot produces still greater evils than it cures ? That is, (says the physician,) if feverkincrease in this alarm ing manner, I shall be compelled to make use of some medi cine which will be of no use to fevers, and will at the same time bring on disease of a much more serious nature. I shall be under the absolute necessity of putting out your eyes because I cannot prevent you from being lame. In fact, this sort of language is utterly unworthy of the sense and courage of Lord John ; he gives hopes where he ought to create abso lute despair. This is that hovering between two principles which ruins political strength by lowering political character, and creates a notion that his enemies need not fear such a man, and that his friends cannot trust him.—Rev. Sydney Smith on the Ballot. CARNIVOROUS PLANTS.—Of all the instances of sensibility in plants, the most remarkable is that of the Venus fly-trap. It has a large dilated foot stalk and leaf formed of two lobes fixed by a middle rib, with some thorny processes or pro tuberances, an arrangement to give it irritability. Nature provides a honey-like secretion which attracts the flies and insects to feed upon, and by stepping on them the leaves close, and the insect is entrapped. Mr. Knight first ascer tained that this plant could be fed on tilmaments of raw beef, but the general complaint is, that it will not live long in this country, from the want of a supply of its proper foot. The lecturer was the first to discover that the sensibility resided in the thorns, and not in the middle rib, were it was formerly supposed to belong. After flies or any other insects are en trapped, the leaves remained closed several days, when the insect may be seen struggling within. The process will go on till both lobes of the leaf are collapsed and straight, and the teeth locked, until at last it will re-open, when the insect will be seen crushed, every particle of fluid being . absorbed, so that the fly may be blown out at almost the first breath of wind. There is another plant allied to it in geographical distribution, which, kept in a green house, entraps beetles, flies, and other insects. At the bottom of the flower is a saccharine liquid to which the insect goes, but cannot return, as be is arrested by what are not inaptly compared to files of bayonets. The lecturer made a series of experiments on these plants, which had been in his possession for upwards of twelve years, by feeding them with filaments of beef and mutton, and they were at last merely destroyed by accident. Another plant, a native of our own country, the Droseua rotundifolia, or sundew of our marshes, possesses apparatus of an analogous organic character, bearing a viscid fluid, and a multitude of hairs, which have the effeet of catching in sects, whereon to feed the plant.—Professor Johnson's Lec ture. A Bivouac.--I know few things more enlivening and re freshing to the mind than the sudden starting into life and activity of an army from its night bivouac. I have risen be fore the first sound of the morning drum—the night was clear, the moon bright, but calmly bright, the stars sparkled in brilliancy, the hills in one direction were clothed in silvery light, in another their dark masses cut sharp and ..:lear on the bright sky. Some few of the bivouac fires glared red; many more were gradually dying away ; the ground was covered over with thousands of forms buried in profound sleep ; horses in numbers were reposing. The whole scene was motionless, calm, and silent. It is an hour well suited for meditation. 1 have thought more in five minutes at those times than during months in other situations. How nu merous are the scenes of former days which then crowd upon the mind ! how calm and fastened they present themselves ! they, perhaps, even wear a shade of melancholy, but so light as not to be unpleasing ; it is more than the effect of the sur rounding silence, and of the momentary quiet of your own breast. But the eastern sky wears a paler hue, a beat or two is heard from the head quarter guard, and the next instant the drums of the nearest regiment beat. le Diane; this is taken up by others, by the trumpets of the cavalry, of the artillery, by the full bands of many corps ; all around, both near and in the distance, is this enlivening call now heard, and there certainly exists not a more inspiriting and beautiful, though simple air. As the strains of music swell on the ear, the hitherto motionless multitude start on their feet. The fires blaze more brightly, the clang of arms, the words of command, the neighing of horses, are heard in all directions — all is life, noise, and activity ; for the moment, hardships, fatigues, and privations are all forgotten ; your blood circulates warmer and quicker—your mind is occupied with what is to be done, and with the hopes that the coming day may bring with it occasions for obtaining distinction, and you wonder how you could but the moment before have felt sentimental. The soup is eaten, you are in the saddle, the column is formed, the band strikes up some lively waltz or gallop, you think of the fair ones with whom you have danced, you sing some favourite air, and so with a gay and light heart you march on. During this time the stars and the moon have vanished, and the glorious sun soon after shines forth in all its splendour.—Sir Grenville Temple, Bart. EXETER. HALL.—When it was resolved to pull down Exeter 'Change, and to widen the Strand, some of the in fluential leaders and movers in the religious world started the scheme of building an "immense edifice," for the meet ings of the various societies. Hitherto, there had been no central point of union; some of the chief societies held their meetings in the fine room of the FreemaSons' Tavern. But, though this hall will hold 1,500 persons, it sometimes could not accommodate one-half who clamoured for admittance. In 1829 the project was taken up of building on the site of Exeter 'Change the present structure, which has received the name of Exeter Hall. It was erected by a company, who subscribed shares ; and additional expense was defrayed by donations. The management of the hall is under the direc tion of a committee or society, of which Sir Thomas Baring, Bart. is chairman. The building was completed and opened in 1831. The stranger, walking along the Strand, might miss Exeter Hall, unless he looked sharp. The entrance is of an ornamental character; hut, being narrow, and flanked by shops, it is apt to be passed in the bustle of the Strand. The entrance is a porch or portico, formed of two Corinthian pillars, with 'a flight of steps from the pavement ; but the building extends a great way back. The principal room is 90 feet broad, 138 in length, and . 48 high,"and is lighted by 18 large windows. 'lt will hold 3,000, with ease, and 4,000 crowded. The platform is at the east end, and can accom modate 500 persons ; it is fenced from the rest of the-hall by a railing. Underneath the large hall is a smaller one, for meetings of a more limited character ; and there are various rooms appropriated to the use of particular committees or societies. Sometimes there are meetings in both halls at the same moment; and a speaker in the lower room will occasionally be annoyed by the reverberations of the thunders of applause shaking the great room above him.—London Saturday Journal. .MARAUDING.—Some men had attained the knack of crow ing like cocks, to draw forth a respondent chaunt from some concealed poultry, well knowing that where there was a cock, most probably there were also hens. Nay, a German soldier of the 60th always carried with him a decoy duck, that he could make to " quack" whenever he thought proper, to ascertain whether any of his feathered tribe mightbe in bondage. Nor were our allies more safe than the peasants; and the ciple of exchange being " no robbery" was fully applied to practice with a Portuguese brigade. The. Vos Pierces, as they were called, had fallen upon a store of hidden brandy ; but they had no meat—we supplied them. Our people had fallen upon a herd of swine, which they exchanged for the spirits. This was the morning after we had carried the heights of Garris. The night had been dark, the ascent steep. At every tree a group of the enemy poured a volley upon the assailants with such a compact fire that many of our officers and men were wounded by several balls. Thus fell poor Fearon and Clitheroe. But, despite the darkness and the unseen foe, who could only be perceived as they retired before us, by the flashing of their pieces, the hill was carried by Byng's brigade, led on by their brave commander, and the face of the mountain was strewed with the enemy's dead. What was our surprise at daybreak, when, proceeding to bury the slain, we perceived that, from one who had been in good condition, large slices of flesh had been cut off with as much dexterity as a London butcher could have cut out steaks. Here was the herd of swine on which our rogues had stumbled ! and they were swilling the Portugese brandy while our worthy allies were cooking a caldo of Frenchmen in exchange. All might have gone on smoothly had not some bungling journeyman butcher left a piece of integument hanging to a steak. The discovery was awful. The Portu guese rushed in crowds to their officers, displaying this sam ple of barbarity. They had also seen the mangled French man. Their shouts and execrations were loud and furious. Those who had eaten the soup endeavoured to disgorge it, with horrible faces and convulsive throes ; whilst others, more fortunate, upset Pie capsnAettles, and past away their go tents, with deep imprecations on all our heads, our fathers and our mothers. The enquiries set on foot to discover the offenders were idle. No one 'peached, although the corps that had committed the disgusting act was well known.
