134ttrp. LITTLE CHILDREN. BY MARY HOWITT. Sporting through the forest wide ; Playing by the water-side : Wandering o'er the heathy fells ; Down within the woodland dells ; All among the mountains wild, Dwelleth many a little child ; In the baron's hall of pride : By the poor man's dull fireside ; 'Mid the mighty, 'mid the mean, Little children may be seen, Like the flowers that spring up fair, Bright and countless, everywhere ! In the fair isles of the main ; In the desert's lone domain ; In the savage mountain glen, 'Mong the tribes of swarthy men ; Wheresoe'er a foot hath gone : Wheresoe'er the sun hath shone : On a league of peopled ground, Little children may be found ! Blessings on them ! they in me Move a kindly sympathy, With their wishes, hopes, and fears ; With their laughter and their tears ; With their wonder so intense, And their small experience ! Little children, not alone On the wide earth are ye known, 'Mid its labours and its cares, 'Mid its sufferings and its snares. Free from sorrow, free from strife, In the world of love and life, Where no sinful thing hath trod ; In the presence of your God, Spotless, blameless, glorified, Little children, ye abide ! STANZAS, BY A LADY IN LERWICK, IN SHETLAND. As the tender flower opens its leaves to the sun, So the young heart expands in affection's bright ray ; And all its deep treasures of love may be won, Which, until that heart's broken, can know no decay. 'Heath cold withering glances, the young heart will shrink, As the flower is shut up when the warm sun has fled ; Each cold look and word we feel severing some link Which was twin'd round the heart, and nought left in their stead. As ripe fruit and fair flowers are produced by the light, And the heat of the warm sun's meridian glow, Thus—the heart's latent energies spring to their height, When nurs'd in the beams which affection bestow : As the fairest of fruit will decay in the blast — As the sweetest of flowerets will wither away— So, these energies weaken, their vigour is past, When clouds of unkindness have darken'd the day. As the waters of some sparkling streamlet will swell To the brink, so the heart's tender gushings will rise. How deep is the source of its fount, who shall tell — Though embosom'd in earth, it may spring to the skies ! But if those affections are check'd in their flow, Like some lake's stagnant bosom, whose banks never bloom Soft pity in vain o'er its surface may blow, Like faint zephyrs, which stir not the deep-settled gloom SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SPEECH ON THE CORN LAWS. (From the Morning Herald.) The speech of Sir Robert Peel, last night, was wor thy of his genius, was worthy of his position, was worthy of the mighty cause which boasts the benefit of his advocacy. Sir Robert reviewed the whole course of argument, which has been employed by the enemies of English agriculture throughout the recent corn-law debate ; and, on all the leading points, he submitted to the house the most curious, nay, at times, the most start ling refutation of the various free-trade doctrines. He showed how the assertors of the existence of deep manufacturing distress had gradually, yet completely, changed their 'ground: He showed the fallacy of all their assertions in reference to a decline of manufac turing profits, by showing (and the statement is no less striking than true) that the small manufacturing capitals oecupy now, relatively to the great capitalists, a position, not dissimilar to that occupied by the hand loom weaver, relatively to the weaver with the power loom. Sir Robert then entered into a consideration of the question of " dear bread," and of the actual condition of the labouring poor under the influence of high priced corn. The proofs, on this point, which he de duced from the state of the savings banks, were of the most irresistible kind; and the withering rebuke which he administered to the concoctors of the present scheme of agitation will not speedily be forgotten by the anti corn-law delegates, and by their patrons in the cabinet. Having discussed the purely-manufacturing portion of the question, Sir Robert proceeded to consider the general influences of our system of corn laws, and the preposterous character of the objections which have been urged against that system by the anti-corn-law agitators. Seldom in parliamentary discussion has there been witnessed any result more brilliant than the result of the comparison by Sir Robert Peel of the logical tendencies of the facts and arguments employed in reference to the corn laws by the advocates of free trade. The right hon. baronet singled out the state ments and reasonings of Lord John Russell, of Mr. Grote, of Mr. Ward, and of Mr. Clay ; and established with surpassing power and felicity that those reason ings and statements are utterly subversive of each other. As for Mr. Villiers's assertions about the character of the English farmer, and about the folly of buying " dear bread" because we are burdened with a debt, and with an " aristocracy"—Sir Robert Peel dealt with those assertions in a way which entitles him to the thanks of the whole agricultural body. Sir Robert's demonstration of the utter impossibility that universal freedom of trade should ever be suscep tible of adoption amidst our complicated social rela tions—his advice to the manufacturers to try, in th e first place, the efficacy of their prescriptions upon themselves—his recommendation that they should, in other words, " shear the pigs" before pressing harder upon the sheep—his exposition of the absurdities of the economists in reference to the elementary princi ples of their science—his bitter and most happy de nunciations of the policy of the cabinet—his sarcastic compliments to Lord John Russell as a successful painter of Joseph Hume in the character of a " poli tical economist :"—all these points in Sir Roht. Peel's speech of last night, when regarded merely as efforts of intellectual art, may well challenge the deepest ad miration ;—but when we advert to the mighty truths which Sir Robert Peel illustrated and enforced by the aid of wit and eloquence and logic of the most exqui site kind, mere admiration of the mental gifts and ac complishments of the great orator is swallowed up in gratitude for the noble uses to which those accom• plishments and gifts have been directed. The anti-corn law agitation could not fairly be pro nounced to have been unproductive of general advan tage, if it had only given birth to the speeches of Lord Ripon, of Sir James •Graham, and of Sir Robert Peel INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENTS AT HOME. (From Felix Farley's Bristol Journal.) While we are threatened with hostilities abroad, it is impossible to deny that there is a turbulent hostile party at home, which has assumed a station that cannot be overlooked or thought lightly of, from the position it has taken at this crisis —bitter, loud-tongued, and ut terly unprincipled Radicalism—the l as t bi r th' o f t h at lbw hypocrisy by which the Whigs have so long pam pered the vanity of the rabble,—Radicalism, the open champion of overthrow, the professed clamourer for revolution, demanding endless change, and with a pre cipitate folly, untaught by the old miseries of national convulsion, and with a sanguinary frenzy incurable, but by its own pikes and scaffolds, rejoicing in the hope of national evil. It is easy to talk lightly of these things. There are indolent minds which care nothing for the deepest public change, provided it seems not likely to molest their own pillows. There are others who care for no consequences whatever, if they think that they will not occur until they themselves are out of the world. There are still more who will not give themselves the trouble of a second thought upon the subject, or obstinately and foolishly persevere in thinking that nothing evil can occur, because extreme evil has not yet fallen upon the country. Let the reader consider whether he is in any of th ose c l asses , an d learn that it is to such apathy that the whole menace of national ruin is due at this moment. The villainy which threatens the Constitu tion would n o t h ave d are d to lift it s h ea d, if the vigilance of England had been awake to the growth of this rep tile adversary. But let apathy itself hear what are the actual declarations of Radicalism, and then ask how it would be possible for laws, religion, or public peace to subsist from the moment they were realised. The un disguised demands of the Radicals, or Chartists, as they now call themselves, are—Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Annual Parliaments; and, in addition, a reformation of the House of Lords. Now nothing can be clearer, than that the complete operation of any one of these four measures would be a complete Democracy. The operation of the whole four would go still further than a Democracy, and would be ANARCHY. And that preparations are making, and are known to her Majesty's Government to be making, for an outbreak at home, cannot be concealed, since the subject was openly mentioned in Parliament last week, and is thus judiciously commented upon by an able co temporary, who takes the same view as ourselves of the apathetic feeling of the country, or rather of her Ma jesty's Ministers, upon the fact. " The Duke of Buck ingham asked Lord Melbourne, whether the Govern ment were well aware that a party, called the Chartists, were collecting pikeheads, and making preparations for arming themselves." This is, indeed, a very serious affair, and it is one of the mischiefs of the present loose and negligent m easures o f a popu l ar G overnmen t,— that, in considerati on o f t h e i r own po li t i ca l wea k ness , the Ministers are compelled to connive at these Radical excesses, and, instead of preventing evil whilst in a state of manifest preparation, to take their chance of being able to stop it by condign punishment when it breaks out into overt commission. This is, indeed, sometimes the practice of a vigorous and decided com mander of a King's ship; when he suspects the mutiny of his crew ; he lets the mutiny break out, in order that he may punish it more effectually and summarily. But it must be remembered that he only does so when he is quite assured of his own power, an d entertains no dO u bt whatever but that he is competent to put down the Mischief. But can Ministers say this ? We trow not. HARMONY OF SCRIPTURE AND GEOLOGY A vessel at sea, pursuing its way across the ocean, is, to its passengers and crew, a great and important fact. At a distance a speck appears on the horizon ; the practised eye of the sailor recognises it as another fact, but the passengers are, some doubtful, and some indifferent. Gradually the speck increases in volume ; masts, sails, and hull are visible ; it is another vessel, and is bearing right down upon them. " There is danger of a collision, is there not ?" eagerly asks a passenger, and the man at the wheel drily replies that there is. The danger becomes more evident and imminent, and the most indifferent become interested. But, at a distance near enough to be perfectly safe, the two vessels cross each other's paths, and the most timid passenger now perceives that the object of his alarm is not an enemy nor a rival, but a friend, bound to the same port with himself, though sailing on a different tack. NeW truths in science, when they first appear on the men tal horizon, have thus often an ominous aspect to recognised and established opinions. Like the comet, that in 1835 crossed the orbit of the earth within a short period of the earth's arriving at the same point, there seems to be great danger of a contact fatal to the one or the other, or perhaps to both. Experienced minds smile at what they call the fool ishness or absurdity of the apprehension of danger ; strong minds, or fool-hardy ones, often needlessly provoke the ge neral feeling by their contemptuous or reckless expression of what seems at least paradoxical ; and timid but honest minds, in their anxiety to make peace between apparently opposing systems, frequently frame hypotheses which are torn to pieces when stretched upon facts. Meantime the truths themselves are making their own way, and at last, like two lines forming an acute angle, they meet in a point. The harmony of Scripture and Geology is still in a pro gressive state. The Bible stands upon its own evidence, like a light-house upon a rock, which no storms can overthrow. Geology has also a firm basis ; its elementary truths are as incontestibly established as any great fact in natural science. Whenever, therefore, there appears any discrepancy between the Bible and Geology, we may rest assured that the discre pancy is not with the truths themselves, but in our interpre tations of them. The case of Galileo is often quoted as an example, a memorable example, of the intolerance of igno rance. There can be no doubt that many minds most ho nestly dreaded the new truths in astronomy, and cordially ac quiesced in the judgment of the inquisitors, who pronounced, " To affirm that the sun is in the centre, absolutely immova ble, and without locomotion, is an absurd proposition, false in sound philosophy, and moreover heretical, because it is expressly contrary to Holy Scripture. To say that the earth is not placed in the middle of the world, norimmovable, is also a proposition absurd and false in sound phylosophy ; and, considered theologically, is at least erroneous with re spect to faith." We• can now afford to smile at this—but would we have done so in the days of Galileo ? The first great fact in geology (the word geology is derived from two Greek words, signifying a discourse or description of the structure of the earth) is now received as a truth by all men of all parties. This truth is, that the earth was in existence ages, perhaps myriads of ages, before the creation of man. Turning to the first chapter of Genesis, we find there nothing to contradict this. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." It is a simple announce ment of a great fact. "It does not," says Dr. Pye Smith, " tell us when the beginning was : it assures us that at a point in duration past which we cannot ascertain, that, point in infinite duration which to the wisdom of the great God seemed best, he was pleased to unfold the majesty of his at tributes, and to give existence to a dependent world." "In that remote period," says Professor Silliman (an American, whose name, as a Christian and a man of science, is known and honoured in Britain), " of which he who recorded the fact probably knew not the date—ln the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and established the physi cal laws, the ordinances of heaven, by which the material world was to be governed." Admitting, then, that the first chapter of Genesis simply affirms God to be the Creator, without reference to the time of creation, how do we get at the fact of the existence of the earth long prior to the existence of man ? The following is one of Professor Silliman's illustrations in answer to this question :—" When, in 1738, the workmen, in excavating a well, struck upon the theatre of Herculaneum, which had reposed, for seventeen centuries, beneath the lava of Vesu vius —when, subsequently (1750),• Pompeii was disencum bered of its volcanic ashes and cinders, and thus two cities were brought to light ; had history been quite silent respect ing their destruction,* would not all observers say (and have not all actually said)—here are the works of man, his tem ples, his forums, his amphitheatres, his tombs, his shops of traffic and of arts, his houses, furniture, pictures, and per sonal ornaments, his streets with their pavements, and - Wheel marks worn in the solid stone, his coins, his grinding-mills, his very wine and food, his dungeons, with skeletons of the prisoners chained in their awful solitudes, and here and there a victim, who, although at liberty, was overtaken by the fiery storm ? " Because the soil had formed, and grass and trees had grown, and successive generations of men had unconsciously walked, toiled, or built their houses, over the entombed cities ; and because they were covered with lava or cinders— does any one hesitate to admit that they were once real cities; that they stood upon what was then the upper surface ; that their streets once rang with the noise of business, and their halls and theatres with the voice of pleasure ; and that, in an evil hour, they were overwhelmed by the eruptions of Vesu vius, and their name and place blotted out from the earth and forgotten ? _ _ _ " Al this is legibly read by every observer, and all agree in the conclusions to be drawn. When, moreover the tra veller of the present day sees the cracks in th e walls of the houses of and observes that some of them have been thrown out of the perpendicular, and have been painted and plastered, and shored up with props, he learns that the fatal convulsion was not the first, and that the doomed towns must have been before shaken on their foundations, by the throes of the labouring earth. " To establish all this, it is of no decisive importance that scholars have gleaned, here and there, a fragment from an cient Roman classics, to show that such cities once existed ; and that they were probably overthrown by the eruption of 79 of the Christian era, which gave occasion for the interest ing letter of the younger Pliny, describing the death of his uncle, while observing the volcanic storm which proved fatal to him. In such cases, the coincidences of historical and other writings, and the gleanings of tradition, are, indeed, valuable and gratifying, and are of great utility in fixing not only the order but the time of the events : but the nature of the catastrophe which buried the devoted cities, is perfectly intelligible from the appearances themselves, and needs no historical confirmation." Apply this illustration to the question of the existence of the earth before the creation of man. The materials of the. crust of the earth, and the manner in which these materials are disposed, indicate events which could not have happened since man was created. The external surface of our planet is " full of crystals and crystallized rocks ; it is replete with the entombed remains of animals and vegetables, from entire trees to lichens, foci, and• ferns—from coal-beds to mere im pressions of plants ; it is stored with animals, from the mi nutest shell-fish to gigantic reptiles ; it is chequered with fragments, from fine sand to enormous blocks of stone ; it exhibits, in the materials of its solid strata, every degree of attrition, from the slightest abrasion of a sharp edge, or angle, to the perfect rounding which produces globes and spheroidal forms of exquisite finish ; it abounds with dislocations and fractures; with injections and fillings up of fissures with fo reign rocky matter ; with elevations and depressions of strata, in every position, from horizontal to vertical ; it is covered with the wreck and ruins of its upper surface ; and, finally, its ancient fires, sometimes for variable periods dormant and relenting, have never been extinguished, but still struggle for an exit through its two hundred volcanic mouths. The pre sent crust is only the result of the conflicting energies of phy sical forces, governed by fixed laws. Its changes began from the dawn of its creation, and will not cease unless its mate rials and its physical laws should be annihilated." Geologists, having thus carefully based their opinion on facts, lay it down as an incontestible truth, that the structure of the crust of our planet affords decisive evidence of a long series of events, during which stupendous changes occurred. " It is obvious," says Professor Silliman, " that ages must have passed, while the various geological events which are recorded in the structure of the earth were happening, and particularly while the innumerable organic forms, after their creation, were in the course of reproduction, life, death, deposition, consolidation, and preservation. We will not inquire whether Almighty power inserted animals and plants in mineral masses, and was thus exerted in working a long series of useless miracles, without design or end, and there fore incredible. The man who can believe, for example, that the Iguandon, with his gigantic form, seventy feet in length, ten in height, and fifteen in girth, was created in the midst of consolidated sandstone, and placed down one thousand or twelve hundred feet from the surface of the earth, in a rock composed of ruins and fragments, and containing vegetables, shells, fish, and rolled pebbles ; such a man can belive any thing, with or without evidence. If there are any such per sons, we must leave them to their own reflections, since they cannot be influenced by reason and sound argument ; with them we can sustain no discussion, for there is no common ground on which we can meet." Leaving for the present the nature of the changes which have taken place, and their order, as conjectured by geologists, let us assume that, previous to the creation of man, the crust of the earth had undergone a revolution or derangement, and then see if the second verse of the first chapter of Genesis can be reconciled with such an assumption. The first verse is understood, and has been already mentioned, to signify a fact, without reference to time or period—" In the beginning" —at some time or period—" God created the heavens and the earth." The second verse,—" And the earth was without form and void"—" takes up," says Dr. Pye Smith, " this globe which we inhabit in the condition into which it had been reduced from (it appears probable) a watery envelope ment, putting an end to the last of the strata, lying imme diately below the crust of the earth on which we dwell. It may be objected, that the conjunction and' connects the following sentence with the preceding—' and the earth was without form and void.' But I reply that this conjunction is used in the Hebrew language with a very remarkable com prehension of meaning ; even in tracing its application through but two or three chapters at the beginning of Gene sis, I have found it rendered by such expressions as but, moreover, now,'—and with the highest propriety. In point of fact, it introduces a new sentiment, which has connection with what went before, according to the nature and relation of circumstances. There is nothing at all, therefore, to pre vent our supposition of the lapse of immeasurable time between that beginning,' and the moment in which the sacred his torian takes up this globe, and presents it to us in the condi tion described by the words — without form and void.' These words together occur only in two other passages of the Bible ; and there they signify ruin and desolation. The former of the two occurs in many other passages, and is used to signify a vast desert, or a ruined city, and other subjects in which desolation and destruction are the leading ideas. So that we have here presented to us very plainly this globe in the con dition of ruin and desolation from an anterior state : and then in the following portions of the chapter we see the earth made fit for the new purpose to which God was pleased to appro priate it, by a series of operations, partly the result of the attraction of gravitation and the chemicial affinities, and partly the result of an immediate exertion of the divine power." We have quoted the opinion of this eminent biblical scho lar, in order to show that the description of the creation in the universe and of the formation of the earth, as given in the two first verses of the first chapter of Genesis, does not jar with modern geological discovery. We shall in a future number consider the six days of creation, as connected with geological views.—London Saturday Journal. * In the histories of those times, it is only said, in general terms, that cities and villages were overwhelmed. CORN LAWS.—MEETING OF DELEGATES.—The dele gates re-assembled on Thursday, at three o'clock. J. B. Smith, Esq., in the chair. There were present also, Mr. O'Connell, M.P. ; Mr. Ewart, M.P. ; Mr. Baines, M.P. ; Mr. Scholefield, M.P. ; and Mr. P. Ainsworth, M.P. The chief gabblers were Quack Bowring, young Cobden of Man chester, the Irish beggarman, and one or two other demo cratic agitators. The chairman announced the intention of the delegates to dine together on the following day, and the meeting adjourned. THE STUARTS.—On Tuesday se'nnight, two strangers alighted at the Star Hotel, in company with Lord Lovet, from the top of the Inverness mail. They were completely attired in the Highland costume, and richly accoutred. They were of handsome stature, and apparently athletic frame with thick bushy mustachios and whiskers. Both are scions of the un fortunate royal race of Stuart—Charles Edward Stuart, and Sobieski Stuart—grandsons of the last Pretender of that line to the throne of these realms. After dining here, they pro ceeded to Edinburgh by the Defiance coach. They seem well inured to our Scottish climate—for, notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather, the philabeg and hose were the only shield from the " Norlan blast." The strangers attracted much attention.—Perth paper. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—Business looks up in both cloth halls, and a good spring trade is anticipated : the manufacturers hope also to get better prices. At present they are discouragingly low. BRADFORD.—The piece market, on Thursday, was dull, and prices continue depressed. Yarns are firmer, and con siderable business is doing, though without change of price ; the holders are firm. Wool, generally speaking, is in mo derate demand, especially low and middle combinz qualities. Many buyers suppose that prices will go below the late re ductions ; but the sellers treat the idea as ridiculous. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, THURSDAY. —We have again had a good enquiry for all deep long Wools, which fully maintain late quotations; this demand now runs upon hogs, and they support abetter proportionate price to wethers than they have previously done. Short Wool remains unaltered in value and demand, and the higher and shorter descriptions of Combing Wools continue dull sale. HECKMONDWIKE. — The' business done at this market in the Blanket Hall is very limited, few purchasers attending, and although wool maintains its price, that of blankets is rather on the decline. BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE. - The storm having disap peared, our bleach grounds assume their usual activity, and the weaver is also !benefited thereby, as the manufacturers get in their White Yarns. Drabbets and Sheetings are the principal fabrics now in hand, for which, we are happy to say, there is a fair demand. A PARTICULAR DIRECTION.—A letter was received the other morning at the general post-office, from Ireland, on which the following address is written :—" Mrs. Leary Dukes Cout No. '9 London to be forwarded to Catherine Harrington Jerrys Daughter in speed." In the gardens belonging to John Bull, Esq., of Malbro' Cottage, the red and. white double camellias are, and have been throughout the winter, in full bloom, without any pro tection of matting, &c. &c. This shows the mildness of the air in this neighbourhood.—Falmouth Express.. The Marquis of Normanby will, by his new office of colo nial secretary, have the patronage of dispensing 346 places. The patronage extends to clergy, barristers, military and medical gentlemen, diplomatists, governors, consuls, stipen diary magistrates, post-masters, inspectors of barracks, prisons,: &c. SUDDEN DEATHS AT GLASGOW.—Mr. Robert Wardlaw, of the Herald Office brother to the Rev. Dr. Wardlaw, drop ped down in the Royal Exchange Reading-room, on Wed nesday forenoon, and expired in about ten minutes.—Mr. William Knox, formerly a partner of the firm of Sharp and Knox, and some time ago a magistrate in Glasgow, w a s in the xchange at the time Mr. Wardlaw expired, and had gone, it is supposed, to his place of business, which he left a little before four o'clock. Near St. David's Church he fell down suddenly on the street. and died. RAIL-ROADS.—The subject of rail-roa4s is naturally ex citing a great deal of attention in the country at large, as well as in both houses of the legislature. The reason and the justice of the thing seem to be, on the one hand, that no un necessary obstacles should be placed in the way of so gigantic, and under proper regulations, so useful an experiment ; on the other hand, that strict care should be taken, lest the rail-road proprietors establish a monopoly which is sure to grow into an abuse, and that the heavy duties which plow press upon other modes of travelling, should, in some fair proportion, be reduced.—Newcastle Journal. CRIME IN PORTUGAL.—The following is an extract from a statistical table, showing the crimes perpetrated in Por tugal and its insular possessions during the past year, 1838, which has been published in Lisbon. It contains cases of rebellions, 627 ; destructive weapons, 106 ; resisting legal authority, 281 ; burglaries, 76 ; escaping from prison, 18 ; ' riots, 38 • counterfeiting coin, 3 ; abuse of the liberty of the press, 19; forgeries, 48 ; infanticide, 20 ; suicides, 10 ; poi soning, 18 ; larceny, 8 ; pilfering, 250 ; street quarrels, 3,218 ; incendiaries, 23 ; petty offences, 32 ; indecent expo sures, 34 ; perjuries, 47 ; sacrilege, 73 ; desertions, 592 ; robberies, 3,067 ; murders, 1 776. PECULIAR Fox HUNT.—About a fortnight ago Mr. John Banks, of Great Salkeld, and his son Thomas, were in a field, hacking some turnips, when a very fine, large old bitch fox ran past them, closely pursued by Mr. Banks's sheep dog. Mr. Banks and his son immediately joined the chase, and in the same field the old lass attempted to ground in a drain, but the son, being close up, threw himself upon her, seized her behind the neck, and gave her his hoe shaft to chew, by which he bore her home, upwards of half a m il e . Mr. "Watson took her to Langwathby, and it was intended to have turned her out on Langwathby Moor before the Eamont harriers ; but in a few days, however, she died, and the sportsmen were disappointed of a chase. We understand that the members of the above harriers had a very merry do at their winding up for the season.—Carlisle Patriot. GLASGOW AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—A public meeting of the bankers, merchants, and manufacturers, and other in habitants of Glasgow, was held on Friday; at two o'clock, in the Town-hall, to consider the propriety of co-operating with the parties in Dumfriesshire and Ayrshire, for obtaining sur veys of the county, and ascertaining the best line for such communication between Glasgow and Carlisle, to which point the railways from London, through Birmingham and Lanca shire, are about to be prolonged. The meeting was numerous, and was attended by the most respectable parties in the city interested in railway undertakings. We saw among the num ber Admiral Fleming, Bailies Leadbetter, Campbell, and Paul, Messrs. William Gilmour, John Fleming of Claremo n T. Edington, James Campbell, of Moorepark, Mr. Baird o Gartsherrie, Mr. Bankier, &c. &c. We also observed the Provost of Dumfries, Mr. Monteath of Closeburn, the Tow n clerk of Kilmarnock, and other gentlemen from a distance who attended from the interest felt in their respective dis tricts in favour of the measure. The Lord Provost was in the chair.—Scottish Guardian. WIGAN ELECTION.—WeII, after all, Wigan has proved itself a conservative borough—the good cause has triumphed, and henceforth the radical faction milk 'hide their diminished heads. If with the present register we are able, notwith standing the loss of a dozen , votes by death, to return a con servative, what will not Wigan do after another revision, when the list shall have been purged of those who have no more claim to be on it, than they have to be on the burgess list of Liverpool or Manchester? We repeat, this is a glo rious triumph for Wigan. At the last election, Mr. Standish was returned by a majority of twenty over Mr. Kearsley, and thirty-eight over Mr. Greenall. Mr. Potter was returned by a majority of sixteen over Mr. Kearsley, and of thirty-four over Mr. Greenall. At the present election, by every art in electioneering tactics that Mr. Ewart and his Liverpool friends are so distinguished for, Mr. Ewart could only obtain a majority of two, and that by voting what they acknow ledged, and knew to be bad votes. Had it not been for these votes, Mr. Ewart would have been in a simila r m i no rity to what Mr. Kearsley was at the last election. However, be the result of the present struggle what it may, we are undeniably in such a position as to be able to return two conservatives for this borough at any future election, although we have to contend against the authorities of the town, whose whole in fluence has been exerted against us to the utmost stretch. We therefore congratulate our friends and the conservatives generally, on the result of the struggle, which has been one of the most arduous, perhaps, ever fought in Wigan.--Wigan Gazette. SINGULAR MARRIAGE.—AS many as thirty-eight years since, a woman named Phillips was led to Chard market, and publicly sold by her husband to a man named Morris, for the sum of two shillings and sixpence, and strange as it may be seen, the parties have, during all that period, lived in un broken harmony, waiting only for the death of the false hearted husband, to be indissolubly united in the bonds of matrimony. The anxiously wished for event having recently occurred, the loving couple have appeared at the altar, in pursuance of their oft-repeated pledges, and solemnly pro mised and vowed to "love and to cherish" each other " un til death them do part."—Dorset Chronicle. CARD-PLAYING IN RUSSIA.—The Russians appear to be extremely devoted to card-playing, which they carry on on Sunday as much as any other day. I am not speaking here of gambling, which, however. I fear is lamentably prevalent, but of the practice in ordinary society, where whist is the usual game. They sit down before dinner, which is usually at three or four o'clock, and when it is announced, they leave their cards on the table, and resume their game the moment they return from the dining room, continuing to play from that time till the party disperse ; so that, excepting for those who are no card players, there really is no conversation. I observe every where a custom which is exceedingly slovenly—. namely, that of marking the state of the game by scoring it in chalk upon the table-cloth, instead of using counters. Pieces of chalk and brushes for erasing the figures are always put on the table with the cards.—Domestic Scenes iu Russia. THE NEW BEER BILL.—ABSTRACT OF A BILL TO ALTER AND AMEND THE LAW RELATING TO THE SALE OF BEER. —This bill t nacts that a person applying for a license must produce a certificate that the house is of the value of £lO per annum, and is rated at that sum at least, and been in the ap plicant's occupation for twelve months. Any Overseer neg lecting to give such certificate, shall forfeit £5. Any person making or using a false certificate, shall forfeit £10; and li censes obtained by such shall be void. That, after the 10th of October, 1840, the present duty payable on Excise licenses for retail:of beer to be drunk on the premises, shall cease, and that the sum of £5. ss. shall be levied upon such house, in lieu thereof. Houses in London and Westminster, or in or within a mile of any city, town, or polling-place for elections, for which licenses are required, must be of the annual value of £l5, and have been in the applicant's occupation for twelve months previous. FRENCH DISCOVERY.—PENCIL OF NATURE.—The French journals, and rep ofts of proceedings, admit that these admirable representations still leave something to be desired as to effect, when regarded as works of art. It is singular, they observe, that the power which created them seems to have abandoned them, and that these works of light want light, Even in those parts the most lighted, there is an absence of vivacity and effect; and it is to be allowed that, amidst all the harmony of their forms, these views appear subjected to the sober and heavy tone of colour imparted by a dull northern sky. It would appear that, by passing through the glasses of the optical arrangements of M. Daguerre, all the views are uniformly clothed with a melancholy aspect, like that given to the horizon by the approach of evening. Motion, it is ob vious, can never be copied : and the attempt to represent animals and shoe-blacks in action, consequently failed. Sta tuary is said to have been well defined, but hitherto, M. Dag,uerre had not succeeded in copying the livingphysiognomy in a satisfactory manner, though he does not despair of success. ISLE OF MAN.—A. more propitious season for the advance ment of agricultural labour, than that with which we have been favoured for several weeks past, has perhaps never been experienced in the Island. During the late fiost we believe there were a few days, and only a few, when farming opera tions could not be carried on, owing to the frozen state of the ground ; but our insular situation prevented us being visited by a succession of snow, hail, and ice, which we learn by the provincial papers have been general through most of the English counties.—For five days in the preceding week and three in the present, we had a clear atmosphere without a drop of rain ; but the weather broke on Wednesday, which throughout was one of the wettest days we remember to have seen, and the rain has continued to fall at intervals ever since, with little appearance of a total cessation, or even a long in terval between the showers.—Man,x Liberal. FATAL RENCONTRE EXTRAORDINARY.—About a week ago, while a mastiff, by no means destitute of a gruff and surly bearing, was trotting leisurely up the Seagate, its eyes happened to alight on a large monkey which was occupying its time with the performance of sundry " fantastic tricks ' before the house of Mr.. Barrie, vintner, where a number of country carriers are in the practice of unyoking their cattle for the day. The dog cautiously approached, going through a number of manoeuvres, apparently for the purpose of con ciliating the favour of the foreign quadruped ; but the latter either doubting the sincerity of the dog's overtures, or in the true spirit of the savages among whom it had been reared, and where it had no doubt learned the practice of club law, suddenly clutched up one of the carriers' heavy rack pins, and, ere the poor unsuspecting mastiff could anticipate the movement, dealt it such a blow on the head with the stick as laid it dead at its feet.—Dundee Paper. THE DARLING FUND.—The following is, an accurate statement of the sums of money raised in the various towns to reward Miss Grace Darling and others who exerted them selves so heroically in behalf of the survivors from the wreck of the Forfarshire. The various committees have, with the exception of that in Newcastle (the subscriptions in which town are not included in the following) remitted their sub scriptions to Alnwick, and up to last week the contributions stood as follow : Total sum received for rewarding the Darlings and the North Sunderland fishermen £36o 10 10 Ditto received by Miss Darling for her own use 254 12 4 Ditto ditto Mr. William Darling ditto 5O 0 0 Total SELECT EXTRACTS FRENCH AND ENGLISH SYMPATHIES.—Such has been the result of the elections in France that the ministers found it necessary to retire immediately ; and such would be the inevitable result in England were the same mode of eliciting public opinion resorted to: Throughout Germany the most generally-lamented evils are the restrictions on the press, the impediments to loco motion by the passport system, the excessive spirit of inter ference on the part of the police, and the dictation of the diet to the smaller states through the influence of the greater ones. GOSSlP.—Gossip of all kinds is equally idle and frivolous, whether it be the scandal of a country town, or of the great world; and it is'a disgrace to the gentler sex, that they are so universally charged with the propensity. Not but that the stigma is both too generally and too exclusively applied : for there are many men who do. Employment is the best prescription for a restless tongue, and it would always do us much more good quietly to examine our own hearts than to interfere with the conduct or consciences of those around us. —From " Woman, in the Social and Domestic Character." By Mrs. John Sandford. NOBODY.—Every one's experience must have convinced him that there is no such arrant rascal in existence as No body ! The fellow is never easy but when in mischief. Is a street door left on the jar at midnight—a plate chest ran sacked—a jewel box stolen or mislaid—a window broken — an orchard robbed—or a slander abroad—ten to one Nobody is the guilty party. Of all the offences that are daily com mitted against society, one-half at least are committed by this incorrigible scamp.—Blackwood's Magazine for March. HINT TO TRAVELLERS. — Mr, Sampson Bailey, who has made such efforts in Worcestershire and Herefordshire to *cure petitions for the abolition of turnpike-toll duty upon lime used for agricultural purposes, has lately published a pamphlet on that subject and road abuses ; in which he gives the following hint : " Should you, while driving, overtake Cart, waggon, horseman, ass, Then quickly for the right hand make, If you desire to pass.. . " But if you meet these, day or night, While jogging with a song, Turn to the left, you then are right— If to the right, you're wrong. , POKING THE FlRE. — There are some people who take a great delight in seeing a good blaze at the top of a coal fire, and whose impatience to produce it will sometimes lead them into great rashness in. the action of poking—that is to say, they Ilse the poker at the top instead of the middle of the fire, and go probing about in search of flame. They are told of this fault twenty times a day, and it is a want of gene rosity in them not to amend it ; but, somehow or other, they ' do not. The consequence is, that after a momentary ebulli tion of blaze, the fire becomes dark and sleepy, and is in danger of going out. It is, in fact, like a boy at school in the hands of a bad master, who, thinking him dull, and being impatient to render him brilliant, beats him about the head and ears, till he produces the very evil he would prevent. — New Orleans Picayunne. SOMETHING NEW ABOUT DOLLS AND ROCKING-HORSES. —" There is such a demand, sir, for first-rate painters to colour dolls' faces, and the remuneration is consequently so good, that numbers of artists—portrait-painters, Royal Aca demians, and such like, leave their proper profession and paint dolls' faces—no great change for some of them, eh, Mr. Mills ? " and the speaker chuckled, as if he had said something pointed, so his hearer laughed too, without a dis tinct perception of what there was to laugh at. " And then, again, sir, many of our sculptors are privately engaged in modelling patterns for dolls, so you see doll making is an important affair—like dollar-making in America—eh ? " and he chuckled again. "Do the sculptors ever model the horses ? " asked Mills. "Oh yes ! some of the first rate— that is, according to the judgment of many—do that business. The fine prancing horse, one fore-foot up, body stretched forward or backward, and a fine projecting tail as long as the horse; but it's only the sculptors of taste that can model these fine and original animals." "So I should think," ob served Mr. Mills, sipping his coffee. " I suppose the rock ing -horses are done by the same hands ?" They are the highest flight of genius," said Mr. Cheethall, solemnly ; " there is only one sculptor that is decidedly great in that line at present, and he has lately obtained so much employ ment in forming statues, that it is difficult to obtain his ser vices at all times for toy modelling."—From Davy Dreamy, edited by Flit! A JUVENILE ORATOR.—" Universal Morality, and may we become truly intellectual beings," was responded to by the very short gentleman who had worn his cloak during the whole evening. He made a brilliant oration, mentioned Greek, and quoted Latin ; spoke of Dido in her cave ; called upon the company to support the cause of morals, and to endeavour to make all men intellectual ; dashed a beer-glass to pieces, and overset a tumbler of brandy-and -water (plus aqua), stamped upon the toes of Davy, and, "in a fine phrenzy," spread out his arms, and gave an individual seated near him a very excellent prospect of a black eye ; in con clusion, he made a splendid peroration, played with the.cords of his cloak, and exclaiming with great volubility,'" that — that—that—such will be the case !" seated himself with a self-complacent air, and amidst universal approbation.—From Davy Dreamy, edited by Flit ! A BLUE-STOCKING.—Ye fair spirits that ruled a heathen world, if ye still hold sway . in any quarter of the universe, descend in this iron age upon our pen—for we use steel—and inspire us with the most delicate, and yet most excelling power, to the end that we may paint her who is now entering the domicile of learning and genius, in those bright unfading colours which endure for ages and bid posterity worship ! Miss Xantippe Blewish—the all-accomplished and all-admir able Miss Blewish !—entered the hall of science and wisdom at twenty-five minutes past seven o'clock in the evening, and every eye was fixed on her blushing countenance. Heavens ! her countenance ! Her's was the countenance that called for the quick-moving fingers of genius itself to paint—so varying, so variable, now stealing a tint from the violet, now from the rose, now mantling with all the colours of the rainbow, now— we give up this portion of our task in despair. Miss Blewish had thin lips—would you have them resemble the negro's ? her mouth was rather pursed -up—would you have it as large as the crater of Akna ? her nose was neither Romish or Grecian it was an original nose, containing parts of every conceivable shaped nose, therefore more wonderful and ad mirable—to be 'sure it was rather thin, but would you have a great sprawling nose to a pursed-up mouth ? besides it made up in length what it wanted in breadth. Her eyes—her eyes were so penetrating - and sparkling, so full of fire, that we never could tell whether they were green or blue, thoughi we often endeavoured to solve the mystery. Add to these a rather tall figure, (with a graceful and condescending stoop forward,) of an intellectual mould, that is, not full and fat, but inclined the other way ; and cover this human frame with the dress a lady of science would deem the most becoming, and you have the captivating figure of Miss Xantippe Blewish. —From Davy Dreamy, edited by Flit. A DIP AND A DRYING.—This is a punishment not un common in slavers, where refractory slaves, and even sailors of the crew, divested of the least rag to protect them from the heat of the noon-day sun, are alternately dipped under water and run up to the yard-arm. A lingering death often follows such treatment; the poor wretch subjected to its influence becomes so excoriated, that it seems an interposition of mercy should the running gear break, and the hapless victim of diabolical cruelty at once find a tomb in the jaws of some expectant shark.—John's Legend and Romance, African and European. A COLLOQUY ON PIGS.—" Friend," said a quaker to a man who was driving a drove of swine into Penobscot— " halt thee any hogs with large bones in this drove ?"—" Yes," replied the drover, "they've all got big bones." " Hast thee any with long heads and sharp noses 7"—" Yes,—they're all of them long-heads and sharp-snouts."—" Hast thee any with broad flap ears, like the ears of elephants, slouching down over their eyes?"--" Stran—ger every pig of 'em is that ere and no mistake ;—they'll suit you exactly."—" I rathei think they will not suit me, friend, if they be such as thee describest. Thee may'st drive on." WINDOW GARDENING.—The season of green fields and budding flowers again returns ; yet how 'many persons pent up in crowded cities, are deprived of the pure enjoyment which they are calculated to afford ! Still there is a substi- tute even for them in window gardening, which it .is sur prising, is not more cultivated in our large towns. What prettier sight can there be in passing along the street than a glance through a window on the interior of which are ar ranged, in the sweetest order, geraniums, roses, creepers, &c., all blooming as freshly in their narrow pots as if planted In the open ground ! It is impossible to imagine any more becoming employment for a female in leisure hours than the tending of such productions ; and where there is a taste for it, it will be observed that the mind is more delicate and re fined. There are few private houses where the plan could not be adopted ; and even among those who do give atten tion to the subject, a much greater variety might be success fully cultivated. It is a sweet occupation, and worthy of general adoption. ENGLISHMEN AND FRENCHMEN.—The Countess of Bless ington, in her new work, " The Idler in Italy," has the fol lowing contrast :—" The politeness for which Frenchmen are proverbial, is much less flattering to individual vanity than is the less ostentatious civility of Englishmen. The former is so general in his attentions, that he makes one feel that the person to whom he is addressing them, is only receiving what would have been equally offered to any other lady by whom he might chance to be pleased; whereas, an Englishman is' either silent, or reserved, unless animated by a contact with some person who has pleased him consequently his compli ments have a point, and, if I may use the expression, an in: dividuality that convince her to whom they are addressed, that they could not have been applied to another. A French man never forgets that he is talking to one of a sex for which he professes a general veneration : the Englishman forgets the whole sex in the individual that interests him." WOMAN'S LOVE.—How many bright eyes grow dim—how many, soft cheeks grow pale—how many lovely forms fade away into the tomb, and none can tell the cause that blighted their loveliness. As the dove will clasp its wings to its sides, and cover and conceal the arrow that is preying on its vitals —so it is the nature of woman to hide from the world the pangs of wounded affection. The love of a delicate female is always shy and silent. Even when fortunate, she scarcely breathes it to herself; but when otherwise, sh e buries it in the recesses of her bosom, and there lets it cower and brood among the ruins of her peace. With her the desire of the heart has failed. The great charm of existence is at an end. She neglects all the cheerful exercises which gladden the spi rits, quicken the pulses, and send the tide of life in healthful currents through the veins. Her rest is broken, the sweet refreshment of sleep is broken by melancholy dreams ; " dry sorrow drinks her blood," until her enfeebled frame sinks under the slightest external injury. Look for her, after a little while, and you find friendship weeping over her untime ly grave, and wondering that one, who but lately glowed with all the radiance of :health and beauty, should so speedily be brought down to darkness and the worm.—Washington Ir ving. EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN. — In every country, from Turkey upwards, woindon has her certain place. In Italy, in Switzerland, in Germany, in England, in Scotland, and more than all, in civilized and woman-adoring France, I have seen her, in instances without number, performing offices of hard ship and notoriety, with which her heaven-giving womanly nature seemed to me totally incompatible. That the age of chivalry has passed from Europe needs not the meagre evi dence that no thousand swords leaped from their scabbards to save the beautiful Marie Antoinette. Travel over Europe, the proofs shall stare you in the face wherever you go. In Munich a woman does the work of a printer's devil. In Vienna I have seen her making mortar, carrying hods, digging cellars, and wheeling forth the clay ; and there I have also seen females harnessed with a man, nay with a dog, and once even with a jackass, to a cart, dragging the same through the most public streets of the metropolis. In Dresden she saws and splits wood, drags coal about the city in a little waggon, and wheels eatables for miles through the highways to the market, in a huge barrow. In all these places, in France and Italy, may you note her with basket and scraper, hastening to monopolise the filth just fallen upon the public routes.—ln France females do vastly more degrading and out-of-door work than in England, and in Paris they are in as great request as the mirrors themselves. A woman harnesses diligence horses. A woman cleans your boots as you rest them upon her little stand at the Pont Neuf. At theatres it is a woman who sells you your ticket, and other women who take charge of the boxes. At any mere business office it is a woman who does the business Would you bargain at a chantier for a load of wood, you bargain with a woman. Would you be conveyed publicly to the south of France, you receive your right to a place in the Coupee from a woman. There is no shop, of whatever description, in which a woman is not concerned. There is indeed hardly a department in which she does not seem to be chief manager.—London and Paris Advertiser. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING.
