Vortrp. THE FACTORY GIRL'S LAST DAY! INSCRIBED TO THE RIOHT /lON. LADY ASHLEY ; (From Fraler Magazine.) " roar or five months back there was a girl of a poor man's that I was Celled to visit ; it was poorly ; it had attended a mill, and I was obliged to relieve the father in the course of my office (that of assist ant overseer of the poor), in consequence of the had health of the child ; by-and-by it went back to its work again; and one day he came to me with tears in his eyes. I said, ' What is the matter, Tho mas?' He said, My little girl is dead.' I said, ' When did she die He said, In the night; and what breaks my heart is this, she went to the trill hi the morning, she was not able to do work, and a little boy said he would assist her if she would give him a halfpenny on Ba tt:ll;day ; I said I would give hint a penny;' but at night when the child went hoine, perhaps abont a quarter of a mile, in going home it MI down Several times bn the road through exhaustion, till at length it reached its father's door with difficulty, and it never spoke audibly afterwards ;it died in the night—lt Seemed to be exhaustion, general debility, and weakness of body.—lt brought tears to my eyes, though the child did not belong to me, to think that it should have to work the last day of its life under such Clieum.stanceS.—l cannot speak exactly to her age, I judged she might be 10 years old."-4/i;zutes of Evidence, page 210. :'Tomas on a winter's morning. The weather Nt'et and wild, Three hours before the dawning The father rou3A his child; Her daily morsel bringing, The darksonie room he paced, And cried " The bell is ringing, My hapless darling, haste !" " Father, I'm up, but weary, I scarce can reach the door, And long the way and dreary, 0 carry me once more ? To help us we've no mother, And you have no employ, They kill'd my little brother, Like him I'll work and die !" Her Wasted form seem'd nothing, The load was at his heart ; The sufferer he kept soothing Till at the mill they part. The overlooker met her, As to her frame she crept, And with his thong he beat her, And cursed her as she wept. . Alas I ;lint hours of horror Made up her latest day ; In sweat, and pain, and sorrow, They slowly pass'd away; It seem'd, as she grew weaker, The threads the oftener broke, The rapid wheels ran quicker, And heavier fell the stroke. The sun had long descended, But night brought no repose ; Her day began and ended, As cruel tyrants chose. At length a little neighbour Her halfpenny she paid, To take her last hour's labour, While by her frame she laid. At last the engine ceasing, The captives homeward rush'd She thought her strength increaSing— 'Twas hope her spirits flush'd : She left, but oft she tarried, She fell and rose no more, Till by her comrades carried, She reach'd her father's door. All night, with tortur'd feeling, He watch'd his Speechless child ; And close beside her kneeling, She knew him not, nor smiled. Again the Factory's ringing Her last perceptions tried ; When from her straw bed springing, " 'Tis time !" she shriek'd, and died ! 'That night a chariot pass'd her, N'Yhile on the ground she lay ; The daughters of her master An evening visit pay— Their tender hearts were sighing As negro wrongs were told ; While the white slave was dying, Who gain'd their 'father's gOld ! Miss LAISDON has brought out another Geth for the present holidays, entitled "The Easter Gift," Which is illustrated with. some beautirul engravings, Principally l'aken froM the old masters. The poetry being from her own exquisite pen. We have only room for the follOtving verses upon the story of " HAGAR AND ISHMAEL." They sank amid the wilderness, The weary and forsaken ; She gave the boy one faint caress, And pray'd he might not waken. But death, not sleep, was on those eyes, Beneath the heat declining : O'er glittering sand and cloudless skies The noontide sun was shining. Par, far away the desert spread ; Ah 1 love is fain to cherish The vainest hopes, but now she said, " Let me not see him perish." Then spoke the Lord, and at his word Sprang forth a little fountain, Pure, cold as those whose crystal hoard Is in some pine -clad mountain ; And herb and shrub upon the brink Piit forth their leaf and blossom ; The Pelican came down to drink From out its silvery bosom. O blessed God, thus doth thy power, When, Worn and broken hearted. We sink beneath some evil hour. And deem all hope deserted— Then Cloth the fountain of thy Grace Ri§e up within tlie spirit, And we are strengthen'd for that race Whose priie we shall inherit. When least we hope, our prayer is heard, The judgement is averted, And comes the comfort of thy word, When most we seem deserted. HANDEL BORN FOR ALL AGES.—The late profound musical theorist, 13aumgarten, - remarking on the incessant fluctuation of musical taste, justly observed, that the strongest possible test of genius, in some of the old compositions, is their surviving the age in whiCh they were produced, and becoming the admi ration of future masters. Hander's music has received this honour in a more. eminent degree than even that of our own divine Purcell. By Boyce and Battishill the memory of the gfeat Gentian was adored; Mozart was enthisiastic in his praise; Haydn could not listen to his "Messiah" without weeping; and Beethovc has been heard to deelare, that, were he ever to come to ,iagland, he should uncover his head, and kneel down at his tomb. This seems to prove that Handel, like Shakspeare, was born for all ages, and, in despite of the versatility of taste, will ever be modern.—Orchestra Anecdotes. A VETERAN PENSIONER.—John Seward, perhaps the oldest military pensioner under the crown, who died last week, at the advanced age of 103 years, was buried on Sunday last, at Staley Bridge, with' military honottrs. Seward was one of the heroes of Quebec, and fought under the banners of the gallant Wolfe, in the 9th regiment of foot. He had been a pensioner nearly - 01 'raft. THE LIVERPOOL STANDAh_fi. THE MAGAZINES. In our last number we noticed Fraser's, Blackwood's, and The Dublin University Magazines, and we now pay our respects to our Radical friend Mr. Tait, of Edinburgh. The number fur April contains an article entitled "The Whig Coterie of Edinburgh," wherein it is written that,— The Scottish Whigs persist in keeping up every sinecure ap pointment; they refuse to hear of further reforms; they strive to keep on good terms with the Tories : it is all weakness and ignorance of the world—no positively dishonest purpose. Raw from their studies, they tremble to lay a reforming finger upon the delicate machine intrusted to their care, lest it should crumble in their grasp. Conceited of their own superior ac quirements; believing that all are in utter ignorance except their old corrupt opponents, themselves and their toadies, they doggedly refuse to hear of any person undert a ki ng w h a t th e y fear to attempt. They are like a physician who would consult all his authorities by the bedside of an apoplectic patient; care fully collating every passage with the symptoms of the dying man, before ho attempted to relieve him. They feel not them selves the grinding of that penury which redundant taxation, and a clumsy, cumbrous system of executive government have brought upon the working classes; and they belieVe every man who speaks from feeling an unsafe counsellor. He is excited, and cannot reflect coolly. It is as though they should address a friend, " My good fellow, you must allow that you, who have a goad of red-hot iron sticking in your breech, cannot reason so coolly on the matter as we who are free from all such appli ances and means to boot. It is absurd in you to deafen us with your cries to pull it out before we have time to come to the conclusion that such is the most eligible mode of procedure." This is not dishonesty: but it is every whit as dangerous. You may force a rogue to act right by pointing to the gibbet : but pragmatical council walks with closed eyes over the preci pice. Again, it engenders public distrust. Public men must be judged by their public actions : few have access, and fewer leisure, to study their ruling motives, and to learn to pardon them for their good intentions. That peopl e w ith which they disdain to form a nearer intimacy, will soon grow disgusted with them. They will bear the blame of all the ill they occa sion, which is fair but they will also be accused of h av i n g willed it, which is hard; for they have kind hearts, and. high aspirations. If they persist in their besotted obstinacy, they will form a drag-chain of imposing strength on the motions o f government. Let us see : There are in the present Parliament Jeffrey, Mur ray, and Macaulay,—tongues of the trump. *, With this tail wagging behind him, in its tremulous pride, Lord Brougham will be more likely to put on his peremptory in the cabinet. He has been from youth a man more of brilliant, comprehensive, and restless, than of solid parts. In the Spe culative Society he was one of those whose boldness was mainly instrumental in calling down the indignation of the big-wigs; and again, he was the one who most overlaid the character of conformity he was called upon to assume. Such has he been through life. His ambition is great, his conceptions noble, his activity sleepless : but his power wants continuity of applica tion. He puts on too much at one time, and too little at an other. Forming bold ideas, and acting upon them with a start ling rapidity at one moment, he seeks the next to tread the per plexed paths of intrigue with the noiseless footstep of the cour tier. One day he beards his enemies with fierce denunciations; and then for a week he is all conciliation, " the torrent's smoothness ere it dash below." For a week he is the oil spread over the vexed billows of the House of Lords, to restore the glassy surface of that once waveless aristocratic ocean ; and at the end of it, he breaks out into a Herculean frenzy, seizes poor Sugden, as his prototype did Hylas, and hurls him far away beyond human ken; or rather, by a more cruel metamorphosis than any in Ovid, he, before our eyes, transmutes a man into a bug. Such a creature of momentary and varying impulses— over-bold the one moment, dangerously timid the next—fol lowed, as he is likely to be, by a numerous and talented body of personal adherents, is a questionable coadjutor for a gbvern ment. From another article, headed "Earl Grey," containing a sketch of the life and character of that nobleman, we also make some extracts : To describe what minister 'Ought to be, is, perhaps, to link together a set of incompatible and unattainable qualities which have never yet existed iu one man ;—to suppose a congregation of antagonist faculties, many of them rare in themselves, but all still rarer in their combination ; a galaxy of lighti Which have never yet appeared in one visible hemisphere. If, in order to describe the beau ideal of a minister, we are to say, that he must be at once wise and adventurous; cautious and ardent; speculative and practical; with the power to generalize, yet of minute knowledge ; patriotic and national, and yet dispassion ate and philosophical; intimately acquainted with the wants and wishes of the people, and yet no slave to popularity or to the popular voice ;—at once political economist and moralist; war rior and diplomatist; patriot and citizen of the world—if to de scribe a minister, we are to say this,—the reply we shall obtain will be that of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, to his friend Im lac, " Thou hast now proved it impossible that there should be a poet,"—putting minister in the place of bard. *Si The fatal defect in the character of Earl Grey, and in that of many of his colleagues, is not want of talent, but want of know ledge. He has lived long in a secluded and aristocratic retire ment, associating with none who were likely to . give him the information most valuable to a minister; that is, of the real state of the country which he is called upon to govern. Neither conversant with modern statistics, nor with political economy, he is unable to search into and discover for himself the actual nature and urgency of the causes which are now agitating-the body politic from top to bottom. It is not improbable that he does not really see tile true reasons why his predecessor was so suddenly overturned, and he himself made minister. It is cer tain, that most of his "order" have not the remo t e st c on c epti o n of these causes ; and if, of the few who have, there be One, amongst his colleagues, it will be the better for his ministry, precisely in the ratio in which that colleague is listened to. That Mr. • Stanley is not the man, let Earl Grey be sure. To a man, however, like Earl Grey, who has not, nor ever had, any real knoWledge of the monetary concerns of the country, nor of the state of commerce, manufactures, navigation, nor even agriculture, as connected with that monetary system, it is diffi cult to show that the time has now come when all the resources of these branches of industry can no longer contend against the overwhelming pressure of the present taxes. It is most difficult to convince a mind unused to such details, that, since the bill of Peel came into complete operation, the weight of the debt and other imposts is rapidly driving one portion of the nation into a state of absolute destitution, and depriving the rest, save those who live upon the taxes, less rapidly, but not less surely, of such property as they possess. Lord Grey cannot but know that the country is in distress and difficulty; but the extent of desperation to which the country is reduced, it is More than probable he does not know ; and, not knowing it, cannot con ceive the immense sacrifices and changes requisite to remedy that state. Unaware that his situation is totally and altogether without precedent; as an English minister, he will, unhappily, on every emergency, look to precedent to guide him; and, of necessity, derive from the experience of the past, now inappli cable, nothing but mischief and mistake. Upon the whole, the probability is, that Earl Grey, great as his talents undoubtedly are, is slot equal to the crisis in whi c h he is called upon to act. 'I here are certain periods in the his tories of all nations, when genius of the very highest order is alone of use; and when a mediocrity of genius avails no more than the utter negation of it, with whatever virtue of intention it may he accompanied. That this is true of England at this momentous time, every symptom conspires to prove; and it is hardly possible to conceive of the present ministry that they possess energy and talent adequate to the exigencies that throng and thicken around them. It seems too certain that. Earl Grey will go down to posterity as one whose genius and courage were neither equal to his good intentions, nor to the perilous era in which he lived; and that he will partake in the application of that famous sentence of Tacitus upon Galba, " Uranium con sensu capax Imperil, nisi impe2-asset." LITTLE FAIRLY. From the Dublin University Mayazine. Well now I must tell you wh a t bi g Fairly done—and the dirty turn it was ; but the dirt was in him ever and always, and a kind mother it was in him. Well what did he do but he dug big pits all through the field where little Fairly's cow used to graze, and he covers them up with branches o' threes and sods, makin'it look fair and even, and all as one as the rest o' the field, and with that he goes to little Fairly, and says he, "1 tould you before," says he, "not to be senctin' your little black guard cow to thresspass on my fields," says lie, " and'mind I tell you now, that it won't he good for her health to let her go there again, for I tell you she'll come to barn), and its dead she'll be before long." " Well she may as well die one way as another," say's little Fairly, " for sure if she doesn't get grass she mast die, and I tell you again divil an off your land I'll take my cow." " Can't vou let your- dirty cow grake along the road side ?" says big Fairly. " Why then do you think," sa/s little Fairly, answering him mighty smart, "do you think I have so little respect for my father's cow as to turn her out a beggar an the road to get her dinner off the common highway ? troth I'll do no sitch thing." " Well, you"Il soon& see the end iv it," says big Fairly, and off he wint in great delight, thinkin' how poor little Fairly's cow would be killed. Andnow wasn't he the dirty treacherous, black-hearted villain, to take advantage of a poor cow, and lay a thrap for the dumb baste—but whin the dirty dhrop is in it must come out. Well, poor Fairly sent his cow to graze next mornin', but the poor little darlin' t ray they f e ll i n t o o n e o 'th e pits and was kilt, and when little Fairly kern for her in the evenin' there she was cowld and stiff, and all he had s to do now was to sing drimmin dint dheelish over her, and drag' her home as well as he could, wid the help of some neighbours that pitied the craythur and cursed the big bosthoon that done such threacherous turn. Well, little Fairly was the fellow to put the best face upon every thing; and so, instead of givin' in to fret, and makin' lamentations that would do him no good, by dad he began to think how he could make the best of what happened, and the little craythur sharpened a knife immediantly, and began to shkin the cow, " and anyhow," says he, " the cow is good mate, and my ould mother and me 'ill have beef for the winther." " Thrue for you, little Fairly," said one of the neighbours that was helpin' him, " and besides, the hide 'ill be good to make soals for your brogues for many a long day." " Oh, I'll do betther wid the hide nor that," says little Fairly. - ;; - Why what betther can you do nor that wid it ?" says the neighbour. " Oh, I know myself," iays little Fairly, for he was as cute as a fox, as I said before, and wouldn't tell his saycrets to a stone wall, let alone a companion. And what do you think he done with the hide? Guess now—throth I'd let you guess from this to Christmas, and yo'd never come inside it. 1 , aix it was the complatest thing ever you heerd. What would you think but he tuk the hide and cut six little holes an partic'lar places he knew av himself, and then he goe's and he get his mother's fortin, the six shillin's I tould you about, and he hides the six shillin's in the six holes, and away he wint to a fair was con venient, about three days either, where there was a great sight o' people, and a power o' senile and byin', and dhrinkin' and fightin', by course, and why nat? Well Fairly ups and he goes right into the very heart o' the fair, an' he spread out his hide to the greatest advantage, and he began to cry out—(and, by the same token, though he was little he had a mighty sharp voice and could be hard farther nor a bigger man)—well he began to cry out, " Who wants to buy a hide ?—the rate hide—the oul, original goolden bull's hide that. kem from furrin parts—who wants to make their fortune now ?" " What do you ax for your hide?" says a man to him. "Oh, I only want a thrifle for it," says Fairly, "seeiia' I'm disthressed for money, at this present writin'," says he, " and by fair or foul manes I must rise the money," says he, "at wanst, for if I could wait, it's not the thrifle axin now I'd take for the hide." "Bv gor you talk," says the man, "as if the hide was worth the King's ransom, and Fin thinkin' you must have a great want of a few shillin's," sayS he, " whin the hide is all you have to the fore, to dipind an." " Oh, that's all you know about it," says Fairly, "shillin's indeed! by gor its handfuls o' mony the hide is worth. Who'll buy a hide ?—the rale goolden bull's hide! ! !" A What do you ax for your hide ?" says another man. " Only a hundher guineas," says little Fairly. "A hundher what ?" says the man. "A hundher guineas," says . Fairly. " Is it takin' lave of your wen small sinses you are ?" says the man. " Why thin indeed I b'lieve I am tnkin' lave o' my sinses, sure enough," says Fairly, "to sell my hid e so c h ape ." " Chape, , ' says the man, "arrah thin listen to the little mad vagabone," says he to the crowd, that was gother about by this time, "listen to him askin' a hundher guineas for a hide." "Aye," says Fairly, "and the well laid out money it 'ill be to whoever has the luck to buy it. This is none o' your com mon hides—it's the goolden bull' s hid e —th e Pope's goolden bull's hide, that kem from furrin parts, and its a fortune to whoever have patience to bate his money out iv it." " How do you inane ?" says a snug ould chap, that was always poachin' about for bargains—" I never heard of batin' money out ofa hide," says he. "Well, then, Pli show . you," says Fairly, "and only I'm disthressed for a hunder guineas, that I must have before Mon day next," says he, "I wouldn't part wid this hide; for every day in the week you may thraSh a fistful o' shillin's out iv it,' if you take pains, as you may see." And wid that, my jew'l, he ups wid a cudgel he had in his hand, and he began leatherin' away at the hide; and he hits it in the place he knew himself . ; and out jump'd one o' the shillin's he hid there. " I-lurroo !" says little Fairly, "darlint you wor, you never desaived me yet! !" and away he thrashed agin, and out jumped. another shilEn'. "That's your sort!" says Fairly, "the devil a sitch wages any o' yiz ever got for tnrashin' as this"—and then another whack, and away wid another shillin'. " Stop, stop !" says the old cravin' c h a p, "I'll g i ve y ou th e money for the hide," ' says he, "if you'll let me see can I hate money out iv it." And wid that lie began to thrash the hide, and, by course, another shillin' junip'd out. Oh.! its yourself has the rale twist in your elbow for it," says Fairly; "and .I see by that same, that you're above the .common, and desarvin' of my favour." Well, my dear, at the word "desarvin' o' my favour," the people that was gother round, (for by this time all the fair a'most was there,) began to look into the rights o' the thing, And one and all they agreed that little Fairly was one o' the `good people ;' for, if he wasn't a fairy, how could he do the like ? and, besides, he was sitch a dawnshee craythur they thought what else could he be ; and says they to themselves, "that ould divil, Mulligan, it's the likes iv him id have the luck iv it; and let alone all his gains in this world, and his, scrapin and screwiu, and it's the fairies themselves must co me to help him, as if he wasn't rich enough before." Well, the ould chap paid down a hundher guineas in hard goold to little Fairly, and off he wint wid his bargain. Tar. LONDON PE.Z2I3. (FROM THE GUARDIAN.) The name of Mr. Cobbett has not been very frequently associated with the defence of the established church— nevertheless, in the course of his manifold and long-con tinued labours, the honourable member for Oldham has occasionally evinced a feeling upon subjects connected with the religious establishment of this country, of which (we hope it is not invidious to say so) we wish that he had given us more frequent proofs. Some of his obser vations upon the economy and ceremonial of public wor ship, appeared to us long since to be the result of deep and respectful attention. We will instance his complaints of the ostentatious distinction of ranks in a Christian congregation, and the introduction of organs in small country churches particularly, as injurious to the interests of religion- , --by driving the humbler classes from atten dance upon public worship, and depriving them of that which constituted, to many, much of the enjoyment of divine service. We instance these as proofs of the depth of Mr. Cobbett's observations upon such subjects, and as we have instanced them, we will recommend the consid eration of the points to all who take an interest in the highest of all concerns—the religion of the country. Having watched this part of Mr. Cobbett's conduct, pro bably more attentively than others, we have been less surprised than many of our readers will be, to find in the magazine published by this gentleman's sons, a magazine certainly characterized by hereditary talent, and already, as we believe, considerably advanced in public favour, some excellent observations in defence of the necessity of an Established Church, and some still more valuable hints as to the motives of the King's ministers in bringing forward their, spoliation scheme. It is true that the Establislled'Church, defended by the Magazine writer, is an abstract Established. Church ; ..but we ask nothing more than this—let the point of a state religious estab lishment be conceded, and we defy the wisdom of man to invent a better establishment than that in which - our ancestors have blessed us, and which Lords Grey and Althorp are seeking to overthrow, in order, as the maga zine writer intimates, to give "a tub 'to the whale." (FROM THE EXAMINER.) The people may abandon all hopes of substantial re lief from the present ministry. These men want the wisdom and the energy which are necessary for the grap ple with complicated difficulties.
