Vottrp._ THE ATHEIST. Take but the Atheist at the morning's dawn, When Sol's bright beams irradiate the morn— Take him on some high eminence, to see How Naturt's works in every part agree— Observe what harmony pervades the space, Far as the : c ope of mortal eye can trace, Acts in one oncert to the general plan, In nice ;rydations, till it reaches man : Ask him if chance the superstructure wrought, Or for no erai this great perfection brought? —Reason, sole attribute and gift of Heaven, Will awe his soul and tell from whence 'twas given— Humble his heart—and, prostrate on the sod, Will bend his mind, and, blushing, own his God. FORGIVE AND FORGET. Forgive and forget ! why the world would be lonely, The garden a wilderness left to deform, If the flowers but remember'd the chilling winds only, And the fields gave no verdure for fear of the storm Oh, still in thy loveliness, emblem the dower, Give the fragrance of feeling to sweeten life's way; And prolong not again the brief cloud of an hour, With tears that but darken the rest of the day 1 Forgive and forget ! there's no breast so unfeeling But some gentle thoughts of affection there live; And the best of us all requires something concealing, Some heart that with smiles can forget and forgive! Then away with the cloud from those beautiful eyes, That brow was no home for such frowns to have met Oh, how could our spirits e'er hope for the skies, If Heaven refused to forgive and forget ? FIRST LOVE Love ?—I will tell thee what it is to love ! It is to build with human thoughts a shrine, Where Hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove; Where Time seems young, and life a thing divine. All tastes—all pleasures—all desires combine To consecrate this sanctuary of bliss; Above—the stars in cloudless beauty shine; Around—the streams their flowery margins kiss — And if there's heaven on earth, that heaven is surely this I Yes, this is Ldve,—the steadfast and the true— The immortal glory which hath never set ; The best, the brightest boon that heart e'er knew ; Of all life's sweets the very sweetest yet! Oh ! who but can recall the eve they met To breathe, in some green walk, their first young vow, While summer flowers with moonlight dews are wet, And winds sighed soft around the mountain's brow— And all was rapture then—which is but memory now!! STATE PAPERS ON EDUCATION, (Presented to Parliament by her Majesty's Command.) Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, Feb: 4, 1839 Whitehall, Feb. 4, 1839. My Lord,—l have received her Majesty's commands to make a communication to your lordship on a subject of the greatest importance. Her Majesty has observed with deep concern the want of instruction which is still observable among the poorer classes of her subjects. All the inquites which have been made show a deficiency in the general education of the people which is not in accordance with the character of a civilised and Christian nation. _ _ _ The reports of the chaplains of gaols show that, to a large number of unfortunate prisoners a knowledge of the funda mental truths of natural and revealed religion has never been imparted. It is some consolation to her Majesty to perceive that of late years the zeal for popular education has increased, that the established church has made great efforts to promote the buildings of schools, and that the National and British and Foreign School Societies have actively endeavoured to stimu late the liberality of the benevolent and enlightened friends of general education: Still much remains to be done ; and among the chief de fects yet subsisting may be reckoned the insufficient number of qualified schoolmasters, the imperfect mode of teaching which prevalls in, perhaps, the greater number of the schools, the absence of any sufficient inspection of the schools, and examination-of the nature of the instruction given, the want of a model school which might serve for the example of those societies and committees which anxiously, seek to improve their own mehods of teaching, and, finally, the neglect of this great subject among the enactments of our voluminous legis lation. Some of these defects appear to admit of an immediate remedy, and I am directed by her Majesty to desire, in the first place, thv - our lordship, with four other of the Queen's servants, sllotodform a hoard or committee for the consider ation of all matters affecting the education of the people. For the present it is thought advisable that this board should consist of : The lord president of the council. The lord privy seal. The chancellor of the exchequer. The secretary of state for the homse department, and • The master of the mint. It is proposed that the board should be intrusted with the application of any sums which may be voted by parliament for the purposes of education in England and Wales. Among the first objects to which any grant may be applied will be the establishment of a normal school. In such a school a body of schoolmasters may be formed, competent to assume the management of similar institutions in all parts of the country. In such a school likewise the best modes of teaching may be introduced, and those who wish to improve the schools of their neighbourhood may have an opportunity of observing their results. The board will consider whether it may not be advisable for some years to apply a sum of money annually in aid of the normal schools of the National and of the British and Foreign School Societies. They will likewise determine whether their measures will allow them to afford gratuities to deserving schoolmasters ; there is no class of men whose rewards are so disproportion ate to their usefulness to the community. In any normal or model school to be established by thor board four principal objects should be kept in view, 1. Religious instruction. 2. General instruction: 3. Aloral training. 4. Habits of industry. Of these four I need only allude to 'the first ; with respect to religious instruction there is, as your lordship is aware, a wide or apparently wide difference of opinion among those who have been most forward in promoting education. The National Society, supported by the Established Church, contend that the schoolmaster should be invariably a church man : that the church catechism should be taught in the school to all the scholars ; that all should be required to at tznd church on Sundays, and that the schools should be in every case under the superintendance of the clergyman of the parish. The British and Foreign School Society, on the other hand, admit churchmen and dissenters equally as schoolmasters, require that the Bible should be taught in their schools, but insist that no catechism should be admitted. Others again contend that secular instruction should be the business of the school, and that the ministers of different persuasions should each instruct separately the children of their own followers. In the midst of these conflicting opinions that there is not practically that exclusiveness among the church societies, nor that indifference to religion among those who exclude dog matic instruction from the school, which their mutual accusa tions would lead bystanders to suppose. Much, therefore, may be effected by a temperate attention to the fair claims of the Established Church, and the religi ous freedom sanctioned by law. Ou this subject I need only say, that it is her Majesty's wish that the youth of this kingdom should be religiously brought up, and that the right of conscience should be respected. Moreover, there is a large class of children who may be fitted to be good members of society without injury or of fence to any party—l mean pauper orphans, children deserted by their parents, and the offspring of criminals and their associates. It is from this class that the thieves and housebreakers of society are continually recruited. It is this class likewise which has filled the workhouses with ignorant and idle inmates. The poor law commissioners have very properly under taken to amend the vicious system which has hitherto pre vailed, and in the neighbourhood of the metropolis much has been already done under their auspices. It is in this direction, likewise, that certain good can be accomplished. It sometimes happens that the training which the child of poor but virtuous parents receives at home, is but ill exchanged for the imperfect or faulty instruction which he receives at school, debased by vicious association ; but for those whose parents are dead, or who have no home but one of habitual vice, there can be no such danger. In all such instances, by combining moral training with general instruction, the young may be saved from the temp tations to crime, and the whole community receive indisput able benefit. These and other considerations will, I am persuaded, re ceive from your lordship the most careful attention. I need not enter, at present, into any further plans in contemplation for the extension of the blessings of sound and religious edu cation.—l have, Scc. (Signed) J. RUSSELL. The Lord President of the Council, &c. Berkeley-square, Feb. 6, 1839. My Lord,—l have had the honour to receive your lord ship's letter, conveying to me her Majesty's desire that I, as president of the council, together with certain other of her Majesty's servants, should compose a board, or committee, to consider the state of education, and direct the application of any sums which may be appropriated by Parliament for its improvement. I hasten to express my readiness, whilst I continue to fill that situation, to discharge my share of such a duty, con vinced, as I am, of the importance of the objects proposed, and the improbability of their being satisfactorily accom plished without the countenance and superintendence of her Majesty's government. I at the sanw time beg leave, at the outset, to state my opinion, that the establishment of a normal school, for training' masters in the most perfect methods of communica ting literary and industrial, as well as moral and religious instruction, is the most pressing and important of these ob jects, both in itself and as being a necessary step to the at tainment of the rest ; and also the strong conviction which I entertain that it should be a positive condition of such an establishment, that it should be so regulated and provided with sufficient means to enable the teachers, who are trained there, to acquire and to give such religious instruction as may be required at all ordinary schools in the principles of the Church of England, without any exclusion of those who may be connected with such other religious persuasions as are known to prevail amongst a considerable portion of the Population of the country, who may be desirous of and should 31e enabled to receive similar instruction from their own ministers, subject to the control and superintendence of the authority under which the school will be placed. That such a regulation should be distinctly promulgated and understood, appears to me indispensable for its success, in diffusing widely those benefits which all are alike entitled to receive, and combining with the most approved methods of education the most solid foundation on which it can be placed.—l have, &c., (Signed) LANSDOWNN. The Lord John Russell, &c. &c. &c. Whitehall, Feb. 9th, 1839. My Lord,--I have had the honour to lay before the Queen your lordship's letter to me of the 6th instant, and I am commanded to inform you that her Majesty is pleased to approve of the course your lordship proposes to pursue. I have, &c., (Signed J. RUSSELL. The President of the Council. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held in Lon don on Tuesday last, W. N. Sims, Esq. in the chair. The chairman, having stated the object of the meeting, called upon the secretary to read the report, and said that he (the chairman) should be ready to give any information in his power which the report might be found not to contain. The secretary then proceeded to read the report, from which it appeared that the number of passengers taken by the com pany, from the 4th of June to the 31st of December, was u pwards of 264,000, or 1,278 p er di em . Th e rece ipt s during that time had been £43,845 2s. 2d., and the expenditure £25,518 16s. 6(1., leaving a net profit of £18,296 6s. Bd. The report stated that the short trains were very expensive, and that the high price of coke, which could only be procured in London, rendered the outlay of the company much greater than it otherwise would be.. This railway ranked, in point if the number of passengers conveyed, next to the Binning n and Liverpool. The mails and many of the coaches still on the turnpike-road, but when a greater propor ' the line was completed, there would be an accession erom these sources, and every effort would be made line.

TEST OF EXCELLENCE.—As Bannister stood one night unobserved, a small coterie of scene-shifters were discussing the performers of Hamlet ; one admired Henderson, another Kemble, and each commented on his favourite. At last, one of them said, " You may talk of Henderson and Kemble, but Bannister's Hamlet for me : for he has always done twenty minutes sooner than anybody else."—Bannister's Memoirs. USE OF DISAPFOINTNENT.—A story is told of a Scotch nobleman, who, in order to break his daughtefs of too ardent a pursuit of pleasure, would allow them to accept of an invi tation to a ball—dress for it—order his equipage to the door, but just as the expectant girls were about to step into the carriage, would suddenly remand it to the coach-house, order the young ladies to lay aside their ball dresses, resume their common habiliments, and return to the quiet avocation of the family circle. A GzivmmuAN.—lf you detect a juvenile pickpocket in the act of " prigging" your pocket book, and seize him by the collar, he indignantly repels your grasp, and informs you that he is ready to walk as far as the police-office, but expects to be treated " like a gentleman ;" the porter who is employed to carry your luggage is very sorry that he is " bespoke," but in less than no time at all he will send your honour another " gentleman ;" the hackney coachman, to whose demand of thrice your lawful fare you are inclined to demur, winds up his tornado of imprecations with a thundering crack of his whip, and a polite intimation to the bystanders, " that you are a scaly blackguard, and no , gentleman,"—Backwood. TILE BRITISH NAVY.—We commend the following passage from the late Lord Littleton's Persian Letters, to the earnest attention and thoughtful meditation of our whig ministers : " I had lately the pleasure," says his lordship, " of seeing a sight which tilled my mind beyond all the magnificence that an eastern monarch can show. I saw a British •fleet in full sail. Nothing can be imagined more pompous, or more august. The whole spectacle gave me the highest ideas of the strength of the nation ; a strength not confined to their own coast, but equally formidable to the most distant parts of the globe. Were I a king of En4land, I would never re ceive an ambassador with any solemnity but in the cabin of a first-rate man-of-war. There is the true seat of the empire, and from that throne he might awe the whole world, if he understood how to exert his maritime power in all its full strength !" If Lord Littleton lived now, and saw the neg lected state of the British navy, under whig-radical auspices, he would blush for his country':' SELF-TRAINED HORSES.—When a colt is weaned and turned out, it has, of course, a shed or stable ;to,lie and feed in. By making a slight fence about the height of the colt's knees, a few yards from the door, you compel him to walk over to get to his corn. When he is quite used to this, raise the fence six inches. This will make him rear up and get his fore legs over, and he will soon find it ig;easier to jump over than to draw over his hind legs after him. When he does this freely, raise the fence still higher, till he is .obliged to make a good standing leap over it every time he goes in. When he is perfect at this, which he will be in the course of a month, then dig a ditch, and throw up a bank with earth instead of a rail, and he will first walk into the ditch, and then get his fore legs on the bank, but in a day or two he will quietly jump on the bank. After being perfect in this, have another ditch on the other side of the bank, and he will jump on and off in a few days as well as any hunter. The writer has a thorough-bred colt, only nine months old, which is as perfect at all sorts of fences as the best huuter.—Diary of a Huntsman. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.—A college for the education of those who are destined for agricultural pursuits, is about being established in the vicinity of Maidstone, under the title of the Kent School of Agriculture. The course of instruction will embrace the following branches of agricul tural knowledge, both experimentally and practically, viz.— Gardening, planting, and the general management of farms and woods ; and with that view the mode of cultivating arable, pasture, hops, &c.; the nature of different soils, their chemical properties ; the manures proper for each; and the formation and economy of manure. The different courses of husbandry ; the best rotation of crops in different soils ; the knowledge of grains, seeds, &c. The knowledge of useful animals ; how to breed, feed, and treat them ; their points, condition, and diseases. Agricultural book-keeping and accounts. Agricultural mechanics ; the power required to draw given weights, and how to combine speed, power, and economy in draught ; the construction and use of implements of husbandry. Surveying and valuing lands, &c. Such an establishment could not fail to excite an extensively beneficial influence on all within its sphere of operation. MANUFACTURERS AND CHURCHES: But there are many who have far greater cause to think seriously upon this subject. There are hundreds among us who have made for tunes as manufacturers. How does the case stand with them? They have set up a factory; it may be in some sequestered spot, where a village has immediately arisen. The population has increased from year to year ; the capital of the manufacturer has increased with it ; his works have been extended ; new labourers have arrived ; and in the evening of his days he retires with a handsome property honourably gained, and it is his joy that he owes nothing to any man. But is this indeed the case ? He has paid his labourers for their time and strength ; but how has-he remu nerated them for their souls ? He invited them from their country villages, from the homes and the church of their fathers ; he allured their children from school to the factory ; and what has he given them instead ? Has he not too often left them in a situation of peculiar danger and temptation, without a church, without a pastor, without a school ? Can he acquit himself of having grown rich upon the ruin of im mortal souls?—Wilberforee's "Parochial System." ON NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE. , —SoIomon Smith, Esq. the proprietor of the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser, has re cently sold his paper to Messrs. Langdon and Harris. In his valedictory address he says some true things in an amusing style, as the following extract will show :—Of all trades, professions, or callings, I know of none—l have fol lowed a great many—so poorly paid as publishers of news papers. Many patrons of newspapers, otherwise worthy; punctual men, think it not unrighteous to let the publisher wait year after year for his dues, and at last, if he is com pelled to pay, he does it with a very bad grace. " Mr. Type must have his money, must he ? Give me a receipt ; and, do you hear, stop the paper7--I have patronized that establishment six years ; there is no such thing as gratitude in the world." Another will tell you he never subscribed for a paper; the boy has left it every morning, it is true, and as it was left, I did read it occasionally, but I never or dered it." There is another class of patrons, who never subscribe at all, but are great friends of the paper, and al ways read it; in'fact, this is the class who may be termed your " constant readers." " Here, Sam, go over the way with my compliments to Mr. Tompkins, and ask him for the loan of his paper—and, Sam, tell him, as he never reads it before breakfaSt, I'll thank him to let John bring it over every morning—it's an excellent paper—that editor really knows what he is about ; I begin to think of patronising him myself." There ,yet remains to be mentioned one more class of patrons—supporters I should say—for they are the support and stay of publishers. This class is composed of those who say—" Here, Mr. Clerk, be so good as to place my name on your subscription list—and write opposite to it, paid in advance." In looking over a list of some thousands yesterday, I saw a hundred or two of this class. If I had any golden types, their names should literally appear in letters of gold. There are now from twelve to fifteen thou sand dollars due to this office • and I am convinced the pro prietors would willingly sell all the debts for 5,000 ,dollars ! It is thus with all newspaper offices ; and why ? Because publishers are good-natured, and submit to their own de gradation in the scale of tradesmen. Let this state of things be •amended ; " reform it altogether." Adhere strictly to the terms of your papers ; for, take the word of an ex perienced man, you had better keep your ink and paper than furnish them and your labour for nothing. You may get popularity, but you will get no pork and cabbage for your dinner. I now take my leave as proprietor of the Advertiser. I forgive all, and ask forgiveness of all (if any one has any thing to forgive) and conclude by repeating the advice I gave my Cincinnati friends 15 years ago, with a slight amend ment—" Live honestly—love God—and pay for your news paper." - - - - - - THE SPLASHING SHOP. — Somewhere in the neighbour hood of Piccadilly there used to be, and most likely is still, " a Splashing Shop," the well-known resort of Cockney sportsmen. It was a large room, and in the middle of it stood a wooden horse, on which the said Cockneys were wont "to go out a hunting." On each side of this gallant hunter was a trough containing a quantity of dirt, with a wheel wherewith to bespatter the sportsman, and give him the ap pearance of " a hard run" with the hounds. Here came the would-be fox-hunter, who had probably never crossed a real live horSe since he was born, and demanded to be splashed. " Yes, sir," said the polite sportsman maker, touching his hat, " which hounds, sir ?" "Eh ; oh, why I hunted with the Surrey yesterday, I think ; then I hunt—yes—with the East Kent to-day, I think." Upon this the splasher calls out to his apprentice, " Tom, two buckets of East Kent." " Coming, sir," says the boy, and in he comes with a couple of buckets containing a quantity of dirt similar to that usually found in the country hunted by the East Kent foxkhOunds, and empties them :into the troughs. " Now, sir," says the splasher," if you please, be good enough to mount. Tom, hold the horse while the gentleman gets up." Up he gets, and finding himself quite at home in his saddle, cries out, " all right—let him go." " Hard run ?" asks the splasher. " Infernal," says the sportsman. "Go it, Tom, with the wheel," says the splasher, " lay it on thick ; well ! I never know'd such a gentleman to ride as this here in all my born days. Tom Smith's a fool to him. What a pity 'tis he can't cut the counter for a month and go to Melton. Round go the wheels, splash goes the mud, and boots, breeches, coat, and all are covered with East Kent. Hold hard," says the splasher, " capital run ; won't your honour please to dis mOunt ?" Down comes the Cockney, after a hard run with the East Kent fox-hounds of exactly one minute and a half, as fine a specimen of hard-going as you'd wish to see. Out he sallies, sneaks down two or three hack streets, and emerges into Piccadilly, somewhere near Anderson's livery stables ; lounges up and down, whip in hand ; meets a friend—boasts of his prowess in the field, and points to his boots by_ way of proof, concluding with " monstrous fine run to-day with the' East Kent, 'pon my honour."—The Great Metropolis. SPECIES OF MUSIC LONG PREVALENT IN ENGLAND, BUT NOW ALMOST FORGOTTEN.—It is said that England has no national music—that it has neither poetry nor songs. But there is a part of the island proverbially rich in both. Moun tainous countries are the birth-place of song. Scotland and Switzerland have ever been famous for their songs. There the shepherd and goatherd wile away their time among their echoes. Rousseau, speaking of this mountain music, de scribes the performer playing a strain, which he listens to, as returned by the echo, and softly plays an under-part, pro ducing the harmony of a duet.—Who has visited the wilds of Scotland, and not heard the cheering effects of the human voice in those dreary dells ? While the silent flocks are sprinkled on the mountain sides, the shepherd hears nothing but the return of his own voice and the murmurs of the wa terfall. Music is as sensibly felt by the lowest ranks as the highest ; and, as regards the qualification of voice, we find that nature has been impartial. Nay, if we look back into the history of vocalists, the most eminent have risen from the lowest stations of life. In the time of Charles 11. the taste for convivial music began, and the songs of that age were vo ciferated over the librations of the bottle. These were ge nerally in praise of wit, women, and wine ; and were com posed by Purcell, Eccles, and Wise. Those of a softer kind to be submitted to the ears of the fair, were not so much to the taste of the day. In these effusions the personages Daphne, Phillis, Colin, and Chloe made a distinguished figure. As commerce increased, and trade was protected by our ships, a new order appeared of naval songs. During the contest with America, and the twenty years' war with France, the country was amply stored with these productions. Dib din, it is said, wrote more than a thousand. No other music was heard in public or private. They increased with our vic tories ; but at the close of these struggles they disappeared, and are now nearly forgotten. Though our country at all times has been famous for the sports of the field, the sub jects of hunting had not claimed the attention of poets till the time of Harry Carey (1737.) Like the naval songs, every place of public resort teemed with these productions. The delights of the chase depend upon the fleetness with which the game is pursued, and scarcely a stanza upon the dull routine of hare-hunting appears.—The stag is the only game honoured by being recorded in verse till the introduction of the more enthusiastic sport of hunting the fox. These songi, for nearly half a century, formed the chief entertainment of convivial parties. I was then in the habit of travelling to most of the principal towns in the kingdom ; and wherever I rested for the night, I was sure to be regaled in the travel lers' room with a variety of these songs. Scarcely an inter val was allowed for conversation, so closely did they follow each other. It will scarcely he believed at the present day, that these masculine subjects were generally sung by ladies, in the higher and more refined parties. Indeed, there was scarcely any other music. But as the piano forte became more generally known, they were abandoned for those of a -more tender cast.—Gardiner's Mimic and Friends.. OVER-FsEDLNG.-IV l r. Abernethy agreed with the oPinioil. entertained by Franklin, who said that nine-tenths of. the diseases were caused by over-feeding. The learned surgeon, in one -of his lectures in 1827, thus addressed his hearers : " I tell you honestly what I think is the cause of the com plicated maladies of the human race; it is their gormandising and stuffing, and stimulating their digestive organs to excess, thereby producing nervous disorders and irritation. The state of their minds is another grand cause ; fidgetting and discontenting themselves about that which cannot be helped ; passions of all kinds—malignant passions and worldly cares, pressing upon the mind disturbs the cerebal action, and do a great deal of harm." • TEA IN RUSSIA. — The Russians are the most inveterate tea-drinkers out of China; and, with such excellent tea as they have, the passion is quite excusable. Tea in Russia and tea in England, are as different as peppermint water and senna. With us, it is a dull, favourless dose : in Russia, it is a fresh, invigorating draught. They account for the differ ence by stating, that, as the sea air injures tea, we get only the leaves, but none of the aroma of the plant which left Canton ; while they, on the other hand, receiving all their tea overland, have it just as good as when it left the celestial empire. Be the cause what it may, there can be no doubt of the fact, that tea in Russia is infinitely superior to any ever found in other parts of Europe. EngliShmen are taken by surprise on tasting it : even those who never cared for tea before drink on during their whole stay in Russia. — Bremner' s Excursions in Russia. ANIMAL SAGA c rrY. 7 -Smellie mentions a. cat which, be, ing confined in a room, in order to get out and meet its mate of the other sex, learned of itself to open the latch of a door ; and I knew a pony in the stable here, that used both to open the latch of the stable, and, raise the lid of the corn-chest — things which. must have been learned by himself, from his own observation, for no one is likely to have taught them to him. Nay, it was only the other day that I observed one of the horses taken in here to grass, in a field through which the avenue runs, open one of the wickets by pressing down the upright bar of the latch, and open it exactly as you or I do. — Lord Brougham's Dissertation on Subjects of Science. CONSUMPTION , OF COAL IN BRlTAlN.—Altogether, it is believed, that nearly 23,000,000 tons of coal are yearly eon sumed in Great Britain ; supposing this quantity, therefore, on an average, to cost the consumer 10s. a ton, a return amounting to £11,5000,000 is yearly produced to the owner from this article alone. What, then, must be the aggregate of mechanical contrivance, to get, to convey, and to deliver, this enormous quantity of goods I For such a consumption, we might well suppose, an almost endless supply would be necessary, and therefore be reasonably fearful that it must shortly grow scanty, and in the end cease, a circumstance which, in a country like this, where the daily•support of so large a portion of the inhabitants dc nends upon the employ ment afforded by our manufactories, would be to be deplored as a misfortune of the utmost moment. But from fears of this kind we are happily relieved. Mr. Taylor estimates that there is an extent of land occupied by coal-fields, of not less than 837 square miles, of which, however, 105 have been already excavated. This space, he states, at a moderate estimate, would yield 6,046,320,003 tons, adequate to sup ply the present vessels from the principal coal ports of the North for 1,727 years. Besides this mass, however, there are extensive beds in the Northern and Western parts of Northumberland as yet unexplored ; and, in addition to this, Mr. Bakewell, in his Geology, in a passage quoted by Dr. Buckland, in his evidence before the 1-louse of Lords, says that the coal-fields of Wales alone would supply the demand of the whole country for more than 2,000 years.—Gilbert's Railways of England and Wales. WORDSWORTH'S CHARACTER.—Wordsworth ' s attach ment to nature in her grandest forms grew out of solitude and the character of his own mind ; but the mode of its growth was indirect and unconscious, and in the midst of other more boyish or more worldly pursuits ; and that which happened to the boy in mimicking the owls happened also to him. In moments of watching for the passage of woodcocks over the hills on moonlight nights, in order that he might snare them, oftentimes the dull gaze of expectation, after it was becoming hopeless, left him liable to effects of mountain sce nery under accidents of nightly silence and solitude, which impressed themselves with a depth for which a full tide of success would have allowed no opening. And, as he lived and grew amid such scenes from childhood to manhood, many thousands of such opportunities had leisure to improve them selves into permanent effects of character, of feeling, and of taste. Like Michael, he was in the heart of many thousand mists. Many a sight, moreover, such as meets the eye rarely of any, except those who haunt the hills and the tarns at all hours, and all seasons of the year, had been seen, and neglected perhaps at the time, but afterwards revisited the eye, and produced its appropriate effect in silent hours of meditation. In every thing, perhaps, except in the redund ant graciousness of heart which formed so eminent a feature in the moral constitutidn of that true philosopher, the cha racter, the sensibility, and the taste of Wordsworth, pursued in the same course of development as in the educatio of the Scotch pedlar who gives so much of the moveme?rt to the progress of "The Exeursion."—Tke Opium Eater, in Tait' s Magazine for February. A GENUINE PRIZE. The net proceeds of the Spanish Heroine (known by the name of the Golden Heroine,) cap tured off Cadiz, 21st May, 1762, by the Active frigate and the Favourite sloop, two of Sir Edward Hawke's cruisers, after the deduction of all charges, was £519,705105.. of which the flag ,share amounted to £64,963, and each of the captains to the same sum ; the lieutenants £1,300, and each seamen and marine £4Bs—Barrow's Life of Anson.—[We add an anecdote in reference to the capture, which affords no bad il lustration of the character of the British sailor. Such a sum as £485 the blue jackets of the "Active" fancied could never be expended in the ordinary routine of domestic life. In order to conquer the difficulty, therefore, they devised many ingenious methods, such as frying their watches over the galley fire ; subscribing a sum of money to gild the figure head of the ship, &c. Finding, however, that their cash did not melt away fast enough, it was at last proposed that every man on board shpuld wear a gold-laced cocked-hat; and every cocoa-nut was, accordingly, with all convenient speed, provided with a gold-laced hat, save one—this unhappy wight presented himself to his shipmates with a silver-laced hat. This would not do—the ship was disgraced by such damned stinginess. " Lets ax the Leeftenant not to let him come aboazd." The supposed culprit begged a hearing. Jack loves fair play, so silence having been obtained, the deliupuent tloin pleaded his cause,—" There warut a gold-laced hat in the town, so I was forced to take this here ; but I made the fel low take the money for a gold-lacer all the same." On these last words reaching the ears of his comrades, he was received on board with universal greeting and acclamation.— EDS. U. S. G.] EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.—One has heard of writ ing by steam ; but drawing by sunshine (or moonshine) is a novelty for which the world is indebted to M. Daguttre, of Paris, the dioramic painter. " Figure to yourself (says a Parisian contemporary) a mirror which, after having received your image, gives you liack your portrait, indelible as a pic ture, and a much more exact resemblance. Such is the miracle invented •by M. Daguerre. His pictures do not reproduce colour; but only outline, the light and shadows of ,the model. They are not paintings ; they are drawings ; but drawings pushed to a degree of perfection that art never can reach. What is the substance endowed with such astonishing sensibility to the rays of light, that it not only penetrates itself with them, but preserves their impression : performs at once the functions of the eye and of the optic nerve ; the material instrument of sensation, and the sensa tion itself ? M. Arago and M. Blot, who have made reports to the Academy of Sciences on the effect of Mons. Daguerre's discovery, have given up all attempts to define its causes. The complaisance of the inventor has permitted us to see these chefs d'ccuvre, where nature has delineated herself. At every picture placed before our eyes we were in admira tion. What (perfection of outline what effects of chiaro obscuro—what delicacy—what finish! But how can we be assured that this is not the work of a clever draftsman ? As a sufficient answer, M. Daguerre puts a ma g nifying glass in our hand. We then see the minutest folds of drapery, the lines of a landscape invisible to the naked eye. Every thread of the luminous tissue has passed from the object to the surface retainins it. The impression of the image takes place with greater or less rapidity, according to the intensity of the light. It is produced quicker at noon than in the morning or evening, in a summer than in a winter day. M. Daguerre has hitherto made his experiments only in Paris ; and in the most favourable circumstances they have always been too slow to obtain complete results, except on still or inanimate nature. Motion eeeapes him, or- leaves only vague and uncertain traces. It may be presumed that the sun of Africa would give him instantaneous images of natural objects in full life and action." THE INEXORABLE CREDITOR.—The following afflicting narrative is found among the notes of a volume of American poetry, published in Philadelphia, by Mr. Woodworth : " Some years since, a young man by the name of Brown, was cast into the prison of this city for debt. His manners were very interesting, his fine dark eyes beamed so much in telligence, and his lively countenance expressed so much in geniousness, that I was induced, contrary to my usual rule, to seek his acquaintance. Companions in misery, we soon became attached to each other. Brown was informed that one of his creditors would not consent to his discharge ; and he had abused him very much (as is usual in such cases), and made a solemn oath to keep him in jail ' till he rotted.' I watched Brown's countenance when he received this infor mation ; and whether it was fancy or not, I cannot say, but I thought I saw the cheering spirit of hope in that moment desert him for ever. Nothing gave Brown pleasure but the daily visit of his amiable wife. By the help of a kind rela tion, she was enabled to give him sometimes soup and fruit ; and every day, clear or stormy, she visited the prison, to cheer the drooping spirit of her husband. She was uncom monly pretty. She seemed an angel, administering consola tion to a man about to converse with angels. One day the hour of one o'clock passed, and she came not. Brown was distracted. A messenger arrived ; Mrs. Brown was very dangerously ill, and seemed to be dying in a convulsive fit. As soon as Brown received the information, he darted to-the door with the rapidity of lightning. The inner door was open : and the jailer, who had just let some one in, was closing it as Brown passed violently through it. The jailer knocked him down with a massy iron key which he held in his hand ' • and Brown was carried back, lifeless and covered with blood, to his cell. Mrs. Brown died ; and her husband was even denied the sad privilege of closing her eyes. He lingered for some time, till at last he called me, one day, and gazed on me, a faint smile played upon his lips, he said, he believed death was more kind than his creditors. After a few convulsive struggles, he expired ! Legislators and sages of America! permit me to ask you how much benefit has that creditor derived from the imprisonment and consequent death of an amiable man in the bloom of youth, who, with out this cruelty, might have flourished, even now, an orna ment and a glory to the nation ?" A DISAPPOINTED EPICURE. — The late Mr. Baron Thomp son was very curious in all matters of and concerning eating ; and was, moreover, somewhat selfish and uncommunicative when he had made any gastronomic discovery, to the pursuit of witch he frequently made his Summer and Spring circuits subservient ; and it was known that he often jockeyed his less eager brethren out of the Oxford circuit that he might get the best sausages and brawn at Oxford, and eat the first stewed and potted lampreys at Worcester, and finish with simnel cake at Shrewsbury. One day, looking over the bridge at Carlisle, he saw, a man fishing with what he fancied was a new bait (boiled cheese) ; and as the judge was in a logical mood, he considered that the using a new bait was all in favour of catching a new fish. He smoothed down his wig, as well as he could, smoothed the wrinkles of his face into a smile, and asked the man ' what he was fishing for?' Allmax,' was the answer. The judge was right; new baits for new fish; he had never before heard of a piscine Allmax. His curiosity ana his generosity were at once excited, and slipping into the fisher's hand a retaining fee of half-a-crown, bound him over to bring up the bodies of all the Allmsx caught that day before him at his inn, in time then and there for dinner ; in short, a piscatory habeas corpus was issued. The judge trotted nimbly home, and prepared for court ; first, however, impart ing to his marshal that he should dine alone, and confiding to him that a certain man would bring a certain new kind of fish, which he desired should be carefully dressed in three different ways—plain, boiled, fried, and boiled. The court rose. It is not pretended any justice was done, neither did the guilt? escape; nor were the innocent convicted, that the judge might dine : but those who were accustomed to the judge's manner saw that, as the hour of dinner crept round, a slight cloud of impatience passed over his brow, and that there was less sifting of the evidence, and less subtlety of logic than usual. The judge got back to his lodgings ; the dinner came up ; the judge, with his mouth watering, was all impatience : the marshal led the way with a small dish, in which were four fried gudgeons, two millers' thumbs, and a bream.; and the next two clishes contained a boiled perch, and a boiled eel, and a samlet. The'judge started : and then, to his'mor tification, first leared that Allmax. meant " all sorts—'what one can catch:" BACHELORS OF ARTS Lord Leveson, Christ Church. Henry Milward, Wadham College.

It is with great pleasure we inform our readers that the subscription towards the erection of a Church, in honour of the Martyrs, Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer, amounts, at the present time, to about £5OOO. We would recommend to the undergraduates the method adopted, at the time of the formation of the Irish election petition fund, for raising subscriptions amongst themselves, viz., the formation of a committee of one, or two, or three in each College, for the purpose of collecting in each College ; and whereas the subscription of each member was then limited to 10s., in this case there would be no reason for such limitation. We are glad to perceive, by the communication from our Watlington correspondent, that the subscription is going on well in that neighbourhood. Thanking our-con temporaries for the help they have already afforded us, in this truly Protestant undertakms, we would remind one or two of them, who appear to consider it a local undertaking, that it is not so, but, on the contrary, a NATIONAL one.—Oxford Herald. AGRICULTURAL BURDENS. (From a pamphlet entitled " Corn Law Agitation."—By Barnett Blake.) Secondly, it must also be a subject for grave consideration, what will be the effect on the interests of this country, sup posing the principle of a free trade was admitted by the legislature, and that particularly in corn ? It must be per fectly apparent that some object has to be gained by the present agitation, at the only time when the repeal could be unavailable, inasmuch as the present graduated scale of duties amounts almost to a repeal. ,We can only, therefore, suppose that the advantages are to be prospective, and only to take effect when the blessings of another harvest shall havA once more shed plenty over the land, and lowered the value of the necessaries of life. What then must be its blighting and paralysing effect upon the agricultural industry of this country ? The English farmer has to contend with an un certain climate, and doubtful chance of reaping where he has sown ; he has to contribute to almost the whole of the revenues for the maintenance' of the established church ; lie has also to bear the greater part of the burden for the sup port of the poor (by far the heaviest portion falling on the land); he has also to maintain the high roads, Which intersect England in every part, greatly to the advantage of the com mercial and manufacturing interests ; he has also to contri bute about fifteen millions annually in the shape of land tax, and more than five millions annually as malt duty, for though this may be said to be partly consumed, and, therefore, the duty paid by manufacturers and others, still the net value of the produce of the soil is deteriorated by the tax, which, there fore, becomes a charge upon the land. Notwithstanding all these burdens, and the maintenance of which is necessary to the , support of the national faith, the agricultural population have also to contribute their fair share of the various duties which are levied upon the different necessaries and luxuries of life. Keeping all this in view, and comparing it with the trifling burden which is put on the shoulders of the foreign corn grower, it is fair to ask how the English agriculturist can bear these burdens, if the untaxed man shall have the same advantages in the same market ? The result must inevitably be this, that agriculture being no longer a profitable occupa tion in England, the capitalists will no longer cultivate it. As the fruit of his harvest will not afford him sufficient to pay the wages of his labourers, he will no longer employ them. This will not only throw many of the burdens, now borne by the agriculturists ' upon the shoulders of the manu facturing and commercial population, but, by creating an excess of unemployed labourers, lower the price of labour of the manufacturing labourers, who will be opposed, and that to starvation, by the men they have deprived of employment, and thereby of subsistence, by the repeal of the corn laws. Again, is the public creditor prepared to give up his claim upon the country by rendering the population unable to pay it ? Is England in a condition to lose three-fifths of her revenue ; or, on the other hand, are the manufacturers pre pared to have the taxes they already pay trebled in amount ? What must be the prospect of the many, when in the first instance we consider that the agricultural population, whether taken as to numbers or capital, far exceed that of any other branch of industry, and that the proposed alteration will put them to an alternative too fearful to contemplate ? The corn may be cheap in the English market, but where will be the money wherewith the many shall purchase it ? The reward of the labour that produced it will be enriching the peasants of the north of Europe, while the labourer at home will be starving for want of employment ; and then, bearing in mind that the agriculturists now consume more than three times the amount of manufactures exported to all the rest of the world, what new field of enterprise—and that in com petition with an untaxed artizan abroad—will ever reimburse the then depressed manufacturers for the loss of one-half their trade at home, when that now exceeds in amount five times its trade to foreign parts ? STATE OF TRADE. COTTON TRADE.—MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. — We have had more looking after cloth, and a greater dispo sition to do business in grey cloth this week ; but prices, if at all altered, are a shade lower ; but this is not the case with all descriptions, and may be said to apply only to power loom productions. Hand-loom goods are steady in value, and stocks still very low. Twist as dull as ever for export ; warps and weft for home use in fair demand, and unvaried in value. THE WOOLLEN TRADE—LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The high rate of coarse wool has a manifest tendency to prevent any purchases of low plains, except for immediate want, and this branch may be called very dull in consequence. In the finer cloths there is much the same doing, that is, little, as for many weeks past, either for the home or foreign markets. The late arrivals from America have not brought the antici pated orders from that quarter, and on the whole we call the trade by no means in a, satisfactory state. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—OD the whole this was dull market, especially for plain cloths. The principal de mand was for light fancy woollens, such as doeskins and tweeds, which were bought freely at good prices. Light fancy goods, in waistcoatings, &c., were also in demand. Wools are rather heavy of sale, an erroneous opinion being enter tained that they are about to fall. The warehouses are still doing an average trade, but upon the whole there is less doing than for weeks past. Stocks are very low. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is less activity in the mar ket this week, but the cause of which is rather difficult to ex plain. The merchants certainly made inquiries, but which led generally to little or no business : prices, however, as last reerted. The wool trade is firm at last currency. BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—There has been business done to a fair extent this week, though at rates exceedingly un satisfactory to the manufacturers. The cause chiefly arises from the high price of yarns which spinners command from the steady export demand. The piece trade has now for a long time past been decidedly the worst branch of our busi ness, and from all appearance, likely to continue so.—Yarns : In this branch the demand continues very uniform, and with out any variation in value.—Wool The staplers are at last obliged to give way, and spinners have thus a double advan tage. Stocks, too, are on the increase. BLACKBURN.—The market is so heavy and inactive, both in yarn and cloth ; and whatever may be either said or done by the speculator, neither the one nor the other can be brought to a par with the unnatural price in the cotton market. — Blackburn Standard. GREAT NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.-A prospectus of the Great North British Railway, between Edinburgh and New castle-upon-Tyne; by way of Berwick-upon-Tweed, has just made its appearance. The subject of a railway communica tion from Newcastle to Edinburgh has for some time occu pied the attention of many influential gentlemen in the north of England and in Scotland, and preliminary meetings for the purpose of taking steps to promote this object were held during the past year. At a meeting which took place at Newcastle on the 21st of August, it was decided to request George Stephenson, Esq. to make an inspection of the country between that town and Edinburgh, with a view of considering and reporting his opinion on the best line of railway from Newcastle to Edinburgh. After noticing the comparative eligibility of all the several lines which had been proposed between those' places, Mr. Stephenson strongly recommended the line by the east coast, with respect to which he observes in his report, " I may say, that, in the whole course of my experience, I never examined a country for a line of railway, of the length this will be, where the works to be executed were of an easier description, or the levels and inclinations of a more favourable character." The committee at once adopted the line proposed by Mr. Ste phenson, and it is intended to raise a capital of £2,000,000, m shares of £5O each. Annexed to the detailed prospectus and reports, is a table of traffic, (prepared on the usual prin ciple of doubling the present traffic,) which shows a profit of nearly 11 per cent, on the capital. obipping htritigntr.
