EVENING• The sun is sinking in the mellowed west, And golden tints are streaked along the sky, The trees in all their shaded colours Brest, Are slowly nodding to the zephy's sigh. The busy murmur of a distant throng Comes swelling stilly on the evening breeze, The feathered tribe have ceased their joyous song, Their notes are heard no more among the trees — The beetle, humming, wings his drowsy flight, The surestharbinger of coming night. 'Tis now the time when lovers wish to meet, To rove beneath the shady greenwood boughs, When every word is eloquently sweet That, whispering, breathes forth loves enraptured vows. 'Tis now, when all is noiseless, calm, and still, That contemplation steals upon the soul, 'Tis now, that as the nightingale's soft thrill Is heard, whose echoes round the woodlands roll, That sigh greets sigh, as the soft zephyr blows, And lips to lips in sensual pleasure close. The day is past, the labourer's toil is o'er, And fast he hies him to his lowly cot, Where prattling infants, at the cottage door, Await his coming to that homely spot. The cloth is laid, the homely meal is spread, (More sweet, perhaps, than many a lordly feast,) The smoking porridge and the dark brown bread, To him are grateful now his toil has ceased ; He knows no care, though scanty is his store, He has enough, he never sighed for more. And when the meal is o'er, around the fire The children play in joyousness and glee, While some are clinging to their humble sire, In hopes to gain a ride upon his knee; And smiles are beaming on his ruddy face, His heart's elated by the joyous sight, He kisses them, and each one in his place, Receives his blessing and his warm " Good night;" They're soon undressed, their little prayers are said, They say " Good night," and then retire to bed. Can they that roll in luxury and ease, With cringing vassals born to own their sway, E'er vie in bliss or happiness with these, When thus they meet at the decline of day. Let him that toils his days and nights for gold Go view the cotter at his evening meal, Then ask him if his treasures, bought and sold, Can equal joys the cottagers must feel ; To them the busy world's unknown and strange, They have their home, they never wished for change. 'Tis evening, nature's loveliest, sweetest time, Who would not linger at the tranquil hour, And listen to the echoed evening chime, As sweet 'tis swelling from the sacred tower ; For sweet it is, when nature's in repose, To linger listening in the perfumed fields , And as the sable night's dark shadows close, Drink in the pleasures that the moment yields;— And who, when thus they press the verdant sod, Could then deny the being of a God. C. Liverpool, October 28, 1839. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. LORD BROUGHAM. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Really Lord Brougham might almost wish that Mr. Shafto's letter —or, we must more charitably say now that he has denied it, the letter imputed to Mr. Shafto —were true. He might almost wish himself dead, for the sake of such an epitaph as has been inscribed by a mourning nation on his imaginary tombstone. If he lived a hundred years he could not die a greater fa vourite. He is now proved to have possessed the ad miration and respect even of those who have been com pelled by the hard necessity of party warfare to be his bitterest revilers. These tributes of the press on both sides, under the circumstances, would alone be worth living and dying for in the eyes of most men of am bition. _ _ But, in the name of all that is ridiculous, with what face will the Radical press—which has, of all the others, been loudest in its eulogies on the supposed departed statesman, orator, and philosopher—with what face, we say, will organs thus compromised return to the policy which Lord Brougham's very neat assault on the Whigs will compel them to adopt ? How will the Pilot, for instance, which passed one of the most gener ous eulogiums of any on the " dead lion," muster up a countenance brazen enough to do the needful by the " living dog ?" It is absolutely laughable. While O'Connell, m the Mallow dinner, was denouncing Lord Brougham, whom he believed to be alive, as a "wretched and debased man," his representative in Dublin was lauding Lord Brougham, whom he believed to be dead, as one of the greatest patriots, philosophers, and statesmen that ever death kindly removed out of the way of his party. We may, we think, prophetically re verse the legal saw, and say— Quoth Sir John Price, the Billingsgate Suspended cloth remain, Dying his Lordship—him alive, It doth revive again. [Chorus of Me Radical Press.] Dying-his Lordship—him alive, It doth revive again. After all, the hoax has not been without its value. .Let other public men imagine such reports spread and believed concerning them, and estimate, if they can, how far the tribute paid to the memory of Lord Brougham would be extended to their names. Let 1,01,1 NUllll,lllby, for instance, by an exertion of big imagination, fancy it reported at all the clubs that his brains had been kicked out by a carriage -horse, and consider with himself what effect the intelligence would produce on society. Would the inspired countenances of men of genius all over the United Kingdom gather darkness at his eclipse ? ,Would the hearts of philan thropists and fond utilitarians sink within them with grief for him as their " red hand in the foray," and " sage counsel in cumber ? Would writers of all shades of politics join in lauding his abilities as an author, his talents as a speaker, his depth of thought and grasp of intellect, giving out that a light had de parted from the world—that another mighty spirit was added to the assemblage of the illustrious dead—a com panion for Bacon, for Cicero, for Demosthenes ? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! it is too laughable ! The only specu lation in such a case, and he knows it well himself, would simply be, whether Lord Normanby kad brains for the carriage-horse to kick out. _ _ _ . _ Let Lord Melbourne fancy his last royal banquet di gested, and the grates in South-street blazing with the fires of a more domestic tenant—what would the peo ple, what would the newspapers say of him? At the clubs he would certainly be lamented as a shining and a burning light, removed from the bon vivant circle— the press would acknowledge the departure of a man of naturally good ability, but lazy to a degree—the Papists would be the sincerest mourners, for in their hands he has ever been a two-edged sword, dealing. " heavy blows and great discouragements" to that civil and religious liberty which they so heartily and syste matically detest. Moreover there would not be a dry eye among the Ladies of the Bedchamber, and even Royalty itself might drop a tear over "poor old Mel bourne"—but there would be an end of him. Let Mr. O'Connell imagine that he has tumbled over one of those useful cliffs which keep the Atlantic from swamping Great Britain, and that the fishes have repealed his troubled union of soul and body. There would be a piteous howl among the priests and the sub-agitators. altars would be hung with black. Every man who d:d not appear in mourning in the streets would run the risk of being pelted. The most anti-Popish newspapers would admit that he pos sessed great abilities, indefatigable industry, vast pow ers both of humour and invective ; but every eulogium on the natural advantages with which he has been gifted, would be neutralised by honest execration of the meanness, selfishness, and hateful duplicity—the fawning, cringing, and Jesuit-like hypocrisy, and the ruthless and fanatical bigotry, which have rendered his great abilities not only inefficient for any good purpose, but have distorted them to the service of designs the most detestable in the eyes of every genuine lover of li . )erty and truth. As an orator, however, his bust would not be set up within many niches of that of Lord Brougham. As a writer he would not be spoken of at all. To the character of a man of philosophic mind he would be allowed to have no pretensions. There would be sincere and undissembled satisfaction among at least twelve millions of people at his departure ; there would be equally sincere though secret gratifica tion among the seven millions with are now taxed for his maintenance, that these tormenting exactions were at an end. Let him, before he next calls Lord Brougham a " wretch," reflect for a moment on the character wl-ich each would sustain after death, and ask himself—What am I that I should revile the man whom twenty millions of my fellow-subjects have de lighted to honour ? THE HAwK.—So great is the eagerness of these birds in pursuit of their prey, that a person who has generally a cage of canary birds at his window, has twice had it broken by hawks darting at the birds : in both canes the hawks were taken. Another hawk killed himself the other day, by strik ing at a pane of glass in the conservatory of the Royal Lodge in Windsor great park, while endeavouring to seize a robin, which had accidentally flown into it. Now, these hawks are to a bird, whigs, every one of them, and great advocates for corporations of burgess pigeons, on which they make many a profitable encounter. There is a quarry in Bolton eager to pounce on the pigeonry : some of them are called overseer hawks, secretary-hawks, treasurer-hawks, commissioner hawks, &c. The commissioner-hawk has taken his flight to other game, professing his conscience won't allow of his stay where so little is to be done. The others remain. The over seer has been stunned by darting at some yellow birds, called sovereigns, in an iron cage. He has, it is thought, so da maged his bill that he can never take another bird.—Bolton Chronicle. OPENING OF THE MANCHESTER AND SALFORD JUNC TION CANAL.—As we announced on Saturday, this impor tant link in the chain of water communication, was made available to the public on Monday last. Our avocations else where prevented our being present, and we have not been favoured with any account of the proceedings. We believe all passed off satisfactorily. By means of this canal, which connects the Rochdale Canal with the Mersey and Irwell Navigation, near the Old Quay, all the navigations of York shire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, &c. &c. will have a direct communication with the Bolton and Bury Canal, with the additional advantage of using the Mersey and Irwell Navigation (which is deeper, wider, and several miles shorter than any other line) to Warrington, St. Helens, Runcorn, Liverpool, &c."- - -The Junction Canal has the advantage of double locks, which will considerably facilitate the passing of vessels from the Rochdale Canal, thereby avoiding an in convenience which has hitherto caused serious delay. The tunnel, which is short, is well lighted with gas every twenty yards ; there is also a towing path the whole length, and for the convenience of vessels using this line, men will be in readiness, if required, for the purpose of hauling them, and assisting them through the locks, for which a small charge will be made.—Manchester Guardian. PROTESTANT ANNIVERSARIES. SECOND ADDRESS OF THE HERTS REFORMA TION AND PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. The Committee of the Hertfordshire Protestant As sociation at the close of this year, the first in the fourth century of our national separation from Rome, once more address the Clergy, and all other Protestant Christians of the county, and desire to arouse them to a due thought of the serious danger to which the Pro testant cause in this kingdom is now exposed. Three hundred years have passed, since Pope Paul the Third, for denial of his usurped supremacy, ex communicated this kingdom from the Roman pale, and, in his own gentle phrase, smote it with the sword of eternal damnation. Four times since then has our country been in the utmost danger from the same bit ter enemy of its peace, the Popedom : in the persecu tion of Mary, at the time of the Armada, at the Gun powder Plot, and under the lawless tyranny of the se cond James. Four times have we been rescued by God's signal providence. A fifth, perhaps a last crisis seems at hand ; one less dangerous in the actual strength of the Papacy, now much wasted by Divine judgments and internal decay ; but far more to be dreaded than all the former, from the divisions, the blind indifference, the death-like torpor, of too many in our country who bear the Protestant name. It has been said by the wisest of kings, as a lesson of national wisdom, " He that despiseth small things shall fall by little and little." The words are a pointed warning to Britain at this present time. Ten years ago, with a rash confidence in our fancied light and wisdom, the legal barriers against Popery were re moved. Ever since, the proverb has been verifying daily. By little and little Popish chapels have mul tiplied, and they now exceed five hundred in number, and a splendid cathedral is projected for our metro polis. By little and little, the Romish members of the Commons' house are increased to about sixty. By little and little, nunneries, convents, and Jesuits are increasing among us, till we number three Jesuit col leges, seventeen convents, and nunneries planning or begun in all our principal towns. By the same gradual steps, Romish bishops and priests are subsidized and established in our colonies, till now, of twenty-three bishops, most are receiving public support and pay. By little and little, the public mind is growing recon ciled to what would once have been thought systematic perjury, in those admitted to parliament on condition of an oath, which in the view of all who have not been initiated in the mysteries of Jesuitical constructions seems to be openly violated day after day. Step by step, the influence of Popery is increasing in places of power, till the stream of honour begins to flow by preference in that direction, three Roman Catholics being just now, for the first time, raised to important posts in the 'Government, and one of the most active to a seat in the Privy Council. On both ecclesiastical extremes, the same evil power is slowly, but surely at work. Political alliances in the one class, in another doctrinal or ecclesiastical predilections, are drawing them within the fatal whirlpool of Papal influences till the broad lines of separation between the Reformed religion and Romish idolatry, are slurred over, ob scured, forgotten, or denied. And thus coil after coil, the serpent power of Rome is smoothly and softly twining itself around our happy land ; and whenever our thanklessness shall provoke God to withdraw his protection, one fatal crush may soon teach us the enemy's power, and our Protestant name, our Christian privileges, our social liberty, our strength and glory as a nation, be ruined at one stroke for ever. How, then, in dependence on the blessing of God. may so fearful a crisis be averted ? Not surely by in difference, but by watchfulness ; not by supine sloth, but by zealous exertions ; not by false hopes and flat tering thoughts of peace, but by the untiring and ear nest labours of those who know and love the Protestant faith and institutions of their country. The attention, then, of British Protestants, needs to be aroused, their knowledge to be increased, and their energies and zeal to be united in defence of their common faith, and their national privileges. The first of these objects has not begun to he ac complished. The revived zeal, indeed, of the Papacy is such as to force itself, in a hundred forms, on the notice of the most careless. Abroad, in Prussia, in France, in Belgium, and our own colonies ; at home, in Ireland, and our own island, fresh proofs are ever appearing in the daily press, of the activity of Jesuits and other agents of Rome, and that this kingdom is the main centre and chief object of all their efforts. Witness the Catholic Institute newly organized in Lon don. Witness the association of the French Clergy, to promote, as they suppose, our national conversion, and the reports of the Propaganda at Rome. The at tention of Protestants is beginning to awake, though still far short of that which is due to the real danger, and which the facts demand. But our chief peril is in the ignorance of professing Protestants on this subject—ignorance of the true na ture and glory of the faith which they profess; igno rance of the real pretensions and unchanged nature of Popery; ignorance of the vital connexion between a pure national faith, and solid national prosperity; and ignorance, or, at least, a dull and thankless neglect, of the signal deliverances from Popery and its evils, which in God's merciful Providence. our nation has already received. To these points the Committee humbly and earnestly invite the thoughts and efforts of the Clergy, and of all in the county, who value the truth, and have the means of diffusing it. They claim no authority ; they seek to inflame no blind party zeal ; their sole aim is to arouse every Christian citizen to a plain and pressing duty, and to furnish him aid in its right performance. To gain knowledge on this subject, and 'then to diffuse it, is now the clear duty of every Protestant in the land, who would not belie his profession, and brand himself as a hypocrite in his creed, and a traitor to his country's welfare. First of all they would urge on the attention of their friends and supporters the great duty of spreading the knowledge of Protestantism, in and for itself, as a liv. ing creed and practical religion, and not barely as a protest against Popery. A mere negative creed, a bare rejection of some gross errors, will never meet the cravings of the human heart or of the national con science. The only effect of such a misdirected zeal would be a wretched oscillation in the minds of the people, from superstition to open profaneness, and from profaneness to superstition again. To the lifeless forms then of Popery, we must oppose the true knowledge and heartfelt worship of the true and living God ; to its countless mediators and idolatrous saint worship, the knowledge of the one true mediator, Jesus Christ ; to its dead faith which leaves the conscience in bond age and darkness, and needing for the soul's peace to be eked out with penance's, masses, beads, relics, and endless mummeries, that living faith which works all the fruits of social benevolence and Christian holiness, and links the soul fast to eternal glory. A full Pro testant creed, and a solid scriptural faith, can alone re sist the shadowy grandeur and vast pretensions of the Roman Church, or keep them from entangling the con science and enslaving the heart. But the word of God in its living fullness of truth, will scatter these delu sions like chaff, and form a sure bulwark in the hearts of the people, against both the false doctrines and the oppressive tyranny of Rome. Second to this, and only second in importance, is the spread of knowledge as to the nature of Popery itself, as defined by its own authorised documents, and darkly unfolded in its history. What is the Romish Church in the view of its adherents ? The one holy and Catholic Church, out of which there is no salva tion : the see of Peter, prince of apostles ; the centre of unity ; having the odour of sanctity, the seal of mi racles, Divine authority, infallible truth, and universal domination. What is it in the view of many self styled liberal Protestants ? One among many sects, once equally bigoted, and now equally harmless, an extinct superstition, but more venerable than others for its antiquity, and more convenient for many political purposes ; a blind for the vulgar, and a plaything for the enlightened statesman. Our duty is to expose both these falsehoods, and to present Popery in its true light; an ambitious and proud usurpation, warned of in the Holy Scriptures, creeping in under the mask of Christian titles, gather ing round it the corruptions of isurcessive ages; and hardening into one grand conspiracy against the soul of man, the rights of princes, and the pure worship of God. The soul it assails and debases in all its facul ties. The reason is confounded and degraded by its senseless dogmas on the Holy Sacrament ; the con science is corrupted, by its forbidding what God has allowed, and commanding what he has forbidden, by austere will-worship and a moral code detestably lax and pliant ; the sanctity of domestic life is profaned by the polluting confessional ; while the heart is blinded by habitual idol worship, and poisoned by the unfeel ing bigotry which consigns all but the vassals of the Papacy to eternal ruin. The rights of princes it sub verts, by claiming power, and practically enforcing it, to absolve their subjects from allegiance. The true worship of God it defames as heresy, persecutes as re bellion, and plots without ceasing to root it from the face of the earth. The connexion between the national maintenance and profession of pure religion, and national welfare, with the great and striking deliverances of our country, and the blessin g s bestowed on us above others, since our separation from Rome, are further subjects on which great ignorance prevails. To those who own the truth of Protestantism, the baneful nature of Popery, and the importance of true religion to individuals, but deny its obligation or lawfulness as a national profession and worship, the Cammittee, with all seriousness and affection, would appeal. Can they suppose that a na tion collectively, has no privileges, no duties, no obli gations, in short, no conscience ? Can they imagine that the national conscience will long consent to be left void, or that it will not crave for something higher than galleries of art or schools of natural science ? Or can they persuade themselves that if true religion, in its great outlines of doctrine and worship, is re jected and renounced, some deadly superstition will not usurp its place ? Has France, in the last and pre sent generation, left us a doubtful or ambiguous lesson ? How plainly we see there that a national rejection of all religion ensures a quick recoil into the most supple, the most showy, and the most corrupt. The nation which nationally rejects the truth will surely and righteously be cursed with national darkness. How grievous then is it, that in a great moral conflict like the present, any who ought to be champions of the truth, should unwittingly mistake their side, and be found marshalled among the ranks of its adversaries ! The present year begins the fourth century of our separation from the See of Rome. The very next month brings the anniversary (November sth) of two great deliverances from Romish violence. In Decem ber, 1538, Pope Paul the Third issued his bull, in which he declares the King of England and all who adhere to him, in default of appearing before him at Rome within three months, to be deprived of the kingdom and of their possessions. "We decree," he then proceeds, " in the fulness of our authority and power, that if they die before reconciliation, they be deprived of Christian burial, and we smite them with the sword of an anathema, of a curse, and of eternal damnation. We forbid all Divine services to be cele brated. We declare all the sons of Henry by Anne, and the sons of his adherents, born or to be born, and • their other descendants, none excepted, to be deprived of all their honours, dignities, and possessions, fixed or moveable, and disabled from gaining others, and by the like authority, knowledge, and plenitude of power, we do disable them. We forbid all men, un der pain of excommunication, to hold with him, or his subjects, or inhabitants of his dominions, any traffic, commerce, or communion. We decree all oaths, al liances, or bonds which may favour him, to be worth less, abrogated, and void. We straightly require princes and other soldiers, by sea or land, that they rise with arms against the King Henry and his ad herents, while they continue in rebellion against the Holy See, and persecute them, and compel them to obedience to that See, and that they take possession of their goods, shipping, cattle, &c., wherever they be, even out of his dominions ; and we give them autho rity to convert what they have so taken to their own use, and declare them fully to belong to the captors, decreeing that persons born in the said kingdom, or dwelling therein, and not obeying our commands, wherever they may be taken, shall become the slaves of the captors. If any shall endeavour to infringe or daringly to contravene these decrees, let him know that he will incur the indignation of Almighty God, and of the blessed apostles, Peter and Paul." Such was the "Damnation and Excommunication of Henry VIII." and our whole country " for the futuic ineiuuly of the afralr' by the Pope of Rome. Such was the beginning, 300 years ago, of those strug gles with Papal tyranny, through which God's merci ful Providence has thus far carried us triumphant. Such were the dragon words of this pretended earthly Vicar of the Son of God, who was meek and lowly in heart. This yoke of iran was then snapped asunder— shall we suffer it, by the smooth speeches of Jesuits, or the cant of a hollow liberalism, to be placed upon our necks again ? Thrice has God himself marvellously interposed to save us—shall we grow basely unmindful of his goodness, and sell ourselves madly under the enemy's power? Will this apostate Church, which could neither daunt nor subdue our Protestant land, when it spoke with the voice of a dragon, be: able to charm us with its eye, and lure us within its grasp, now that it comes in the smoother and softer guise dif the serpent ? We trust our blindness is not yet so deep, and that our national sins, heavy as they are, have not yet provoked the Most High to utterly to cast us off. The Committee then, would urge upon the Clergy and Protestant Christians of the county, to improve the approaching anniversary of past escape from the tyranny of Rome. With no bitter and fiery zealotry, with no light exultation and boasting, but with humility, wfth thankfulness, with jealousy, and with hope, let us recall to memory the mercies twice shewn to cur land. While ignorant devotees offer their prayers to saints for our perversion to error and superstition, let us offer from the heart our prayers to the one true God through the one true Mediator, that we, and they, and all who bear the name of Christians, may be led into the way of truth, and may hold the faith, uncorrupted by false doctrine, undefiled by idol worship, and undebased by superstition, in the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life. Let us beware of being seduced into a hollow and heartless indifference, fatal to our own safety as Christians or as citizens, and most offensive in the sight of God. The most blinded devotee of Popery is not so contemptible as the Protestant who dares to fondle, flatter and caress a superstition which he despises in his heart. If ever the bitter contentions and unscrupulous warfare of political strife shall betray our country or our rulers into so fatal a course, then may we soon expect the righteous sentence from on high, God hash numbered the kingdom and it is finished. The holy things thus despised would be removed from our charge, the pearl of pure religion be withdrawn, the candlestick be transferred to some happier land, and England, cnce exalted so high in God's favour and blessing, be num bered among the nations whose sun was gone down for ever. The Committee earnestly hope that throughout this county, the approaching Fifth of November, will in this spirit be observed and religiously improved. Let us learn that due thankfulness to God for national mercies, is both the surest course to national safety, and the best safeguard to true Christian charity. Let no false imputations of bigotry lead us aside from our privilege and duty as Protestants and Britons. But let us so remember our past mercies, as to quicken not nrdy niir 71.0 for the faith, but our Christian love for those who are deceived by error, and our earnest en deavours that they may share with us the blessings of pure religion, and freedom from the enslaving super stition of Rome. EDW. BICKERSTETH, Rector of Watton, F. J. FAITHFULL, Rector of Hatfield. J. OLIVE, Rector of Ayott, St. Lawrence. Hertford, October 22. 1939. Espartero called upon the bystanders to " hussa for the Holy Virgin who had given victory to the Christinos." Is there then a Notre Dame of treachery in Spain.—Charivori. PLEBIAN PLEASANTRY.—A French abbe, who was ex, treately corpulent, coming late one evening to a fortified town, asked a countryman whom he met, " It he cculd get in at the gate ?" "I should think you might," said the geasant, looking at him jocosely, "for I saw a waggon of hay go in this morning." OPENING OF THE MANCHESTER ATHENIEUM.—The new and handsome edifice, erected from a design of Charles Barry, Esq. (the architect of the new houses of parliament; of the fine free school of King Edward VI. in Birmingham ; and in this town, of the Royal Institution, and the Unitarain Cha pel, Upper Brook-street), was formally opened on Monday evening last, with a dessert in the large news and reading room of the institution, in the first (a mezzanine) floor of the building. This large room—which is 80 feet long by 50 wide, but which, owing to the recesses, &c. has an area of 376 square yards, its height 17ift.—is formed into three divisions by a screen of columns on either hand of the centre one. The up end for the occasion was that nearest George-street. A dais extended nearly across the room, and on it were the chair man's table ; and in front, and a little lower than that, ano ther cross table for the principal guests, speakers, directors, and other officers connected with the Athenaeum and kindred institutions. Down the room ranged four long tables, all of which were spread with a neat dessert of fruit, confectionary, and other cates, furnished, we believe, by Mr. Bakewell, Princess-street. The wines, which were good, were supplied by Messrs. Herford and Brother. Long before the hour fixed for taking the chair, the room was thronged in every part, and there were nearly seven hundred ladies and gentlemen present. The columns in the centre compartment of the room were enveloped in pink draperies ; and' boquets of choice flowers adorned the tables.—Manchester Guardian. BUCKINGHAM. — A singular case occurred here last week. The gaol being in a state of completion, the mayor of the town, accompanied by the 'architect, entered in order to take a survey, ascertain, and remedy whatever possibility there might be of rogues escaping. By some strange catastrophe, the door which separates the prison from the governor's house, and which fastens outside, by means of a spring catch, which closed upon them, thus placing these great personages at once in durance vile. Their secluded and forlorn situation occasioned, for the moment, a mutual stare in the face, which was succeeded by a hope that they might, by some means, find some mode of escape. After various stratagems had failed, there appeared no means of effecting their escape but by the old and tried friend the spout, fixed in the corner of the yard, and by which a lad had made his exit about a fort night since. This appeared to be the only chance of getting out ; and they were somewhat comforteu by the conclusion, that " what had been done might be again performed." Un fortunately, however, neither were adapted for this difficult, Net popular, amusement of pole-like climbing. The trick more particularly ill accorded with the habits of our worship ful functionary of the town, being, as a mayor ought to be, great in the corporation body, and big in his own body corporate, not much unlike one ,of his own wool-packs. The architect was quite as much at a loss; his bodilyframe work was so built, and his general conformation was so morad-ed, as to render Such an attempt impractieable. Failing in this, the only method of escape, all the gentlemen now could adopt was to roar out lustily, so as to alarm the neighbourhood, which had the effect, for their noise resembled that of two lions in our Tower. At first, " the natives were astonished ;" but being the time of year in which Wombwelll collection of beasts traverses the country, they were prepared to see the whole of his twenty caravans ranged in their usual' order below the gaol ; when, to their amazement, nothing of the sort was to be seen. Still the yells increased, which drew the attention of the populace at once to the gaol itself, when, on opening the door, out rushed the gentlemen, very much to the amusement of the inhabitants, and evidently to their own satisfaction.—Aylesbury News. HONOUR AND HONESTY IN HUMBLE LIFE. — At the great fair of Ballinasloe, October, 1839, an Austrian officer (Count Weiper) who attended to purchase horses, set up at " Craig's Hotel," and upon the morning of the day that he intended to make those purchases, he breakfasted in the " long room," where several tables were laid, and many persons in succession took their hurried meal and started off to the fair; Count Weiper in the throng. After he had left the room, a young man who superintended and received the money from the numerous waiters in that room, prceived a pocket-book on the floor, took it up, and found therein several bank notes. Immediately he informed his employer, and they (together) counted 40 notes of the Bank of England of £lOO each,; then closed and laid by the pocket-book. Shortly afterwards Count Weiper rushed in, almost distracted. The young than, after a few questions, to the Count's in expressible joy restored to him his lost treasure, and in the presence of the " Maitre de Hotel" (Mr. Craig,) requested the Count to examine the contents. He did so, and found " all right." With gratitude, the Count offered him £5O which the honest and honourable young fellow declined to accept. " Excuse me, Sir, Ido not feel entitled to a reward for doing my duty," was the reply. The grateful Count earnestly requested the young man to accompany him, and he would get him a commission in the Austrian service ; but the young fellow remembered his widowed mother, who since his father's death, had, by honest in lustry, and great pru dence, supported and educated him, Lnd her other child ren— he would not desert her ! Even that promotion so flattering to the son of a soldier, could not tempt him to swerve from the path of duty. This high-minded and truly honourable youth, is the son of George M`Donald, of Caithness, formerly colour-serjeant in the 42d, whose manly form and soldier like bearing, induced the late amiable Lady Combermere to have his likeness taken at full length, as a perfect model of " a brave Highland soldier." It is due to such superior merit, that this rare example in a young man, struggling with difficulties, as thus shown by young George M`Donald (Craig's Hotel, Ballinasloe,) should not be unknown. His widowed mother (Celia M'Donald) resides, since her hus band's death, in the village of Aughrim, celebrated for the battle fought there on the 12th July, 1691.—Limerick Cron. Vocal). EARTHQUAKES IN SCOTLAND. We observe that several smart shocks of earthquakes have lately been experienced in Perthshire.. In Crieff, where they are more frequent than in any other locality in Scotland, on' Saturday, the 12th instant, no less than four occurred,—one of which, about three o'clock, P.M., was of great violence. On the same day, and about the same Lour, a shock was sen sibly felt in the upper part of the Parish of Strathdon. But on Wednesday, the 16th, at 10 minutes before 3 A.M., one of great severity took place 'in that parish. The sensation strongly resembled that which is .felt when a 'wave strikes heavily against a vessel at sea. The house's shook, the doors slapped, and many people were - awaked with the violent tremulous motion of flick beds. shc.el: of such violence has not been felt for 20 years.—AbereTeen Journal. , EARTHQUAKE IN EDINIIURGR.—SoIne alarm his been lately excited in Perthshire by an earthquake which occurred recently in that quarter ; but spch commotions have not been confined to that district of the country; for on Wednesday evening about a quarter past ten, a slight shock was experi enced at Newhaven; and we are informed that at the same time it was observed in London-street, Doune-terrace, and lnverleith-place, &c. In a house in the last-named street, the shock was decidedly felt by five of the family sitting in the drawing-room. It was described to us as a tremulous motion of the house, as if from east to west, and not resembling the shaking caused by the motion of a carriage. It was accom panied with no noise, and lasted about four seconds. In the adjoining house, which stands quite detached, the shock was also felt in the drawing-room floor; but in neither case was it felt, at least observed, in the ground flat. In several in stances it was accompanied with the creaking of furniture, and tho rattling of gas-light shades, but we have not heard that it occasioned any damage.—Advertiser of Friday. ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE. — Within these last few days the elements have been lashed into a degree of fury elsewhere, of which we have fortunately had no experience here. Brox burn, within twelve miles. of Edinburgh, was visited on-the morning cf Tuesday by a " tyrannous and strong wind," and a commercial traveller informs us that he, in company with an hostler, was fairly overturned in his efforts to walk up the stable yard. But worse than all, Perthshire has again been visited by an earthquake, and this, taken in connection with the former visitation, has very much alarmed the inhabitants. About ten o'clock on the night of Wednesday, a vibration of the walls in Perth was sensibly felt, and the flaggons were seen to dance on the nails upon which they were suspended. At Crieff, the visitation was still 'more alarming ; chimney cans were thrown down, and the houses shook so fearfully that the inhabitants were fain to flee to the open street or common. The waiter of the Drummond Arms Inn was thrown down while passingalong the passage ' • and a lady and gentleman who came by the Perth Mail to Glasgow state that the effects at Comrie, up the glen, were still more fearful, and the supper - table was almost swept or its twin by the shock—while the ceilings wererent.—Glasgou , Mail. EARTHQUAKE IN FIFE.—We have unlocked our forins to announce the occurrence of one •of those alarming subter ranean convulsions, which have not made themselves so sensibly d stinct in this county since the great earthquake at Lisbon, whose movements were felt over the whole British Islands. The present shock took place at a quarter-past ten o'clock on Wednesday night, and continued its tremulous motions for the space of 60 or 70 seconds. No subterranean sound accompanied the . convulsions, which seemed to pass eastward in rapid Accession, .at first with considerable vio lence, and with a disagreeable complex iSotion, but which latterly subsided to a slight horizontal rocking that gradually died away. 'After the third or fourth vibration, the idea of an earthquake occurred to us, and we experithentally put ourselves into various positions to learn its effects, which re sembled in every form the description given by travellers and geologists of similar phenomena in volcanic countries. To convey some idea of its violence, we may state, the houses shook, the windows rattled sharply, loose pieces, of plaster, &c., fell from the walls, and light articles of furniture. were moved in their places. No meteorological change from the heavy rains that were then falling took place, except a deep silence for a few seconds before and after.—Fife Herald. EARTHQUAKES.—Since our last publication we have learnt that the Western District of Perthshire has been visited by several distinct shocks of earthquake. About 3 p.m., of the 12th, a shock was felt in the village of Callender, and west ward along the banks of Lochs Vennaahar and Lubnaig, and westward through Glenartney, shaking the houses to such an extent as to put the bells in motion. A similar occurrence. took place about the same hour on the - 14th, and again about half-past 2 a.m., of the 16th, a third, more severe than the others, was also felt. Many people in the village and neigh bourhood of Callender were awoke from sound sleep by the violence with which their beds were shaken. On each occa sion the phenomenon was accompanied by.a loud noise, such as would be created by a line of carriages driven quickly along a newly mettled road. We understand that in the village of Comrie, about six miles to the westward of Crieff, the effects produced were still more alarming; the shocks being so se vere that several articles of .stoneware were suddenly thrown from their positions, and broken to pieces. During the night betwixt Monday and Tuesday last week, several persons felt slight shocks of a similar convulsion. The same phenomenon had visited the locality of Pilochry. In Strathtay, nearAber feldy, the shocks were frequent and alarming. A gentleman from that quarter informs us that, at one time during the night, betwixt Tuesday and Wednesday last, the movement was so strong that he almost expected the house to topple down ; and one day, at dinner, the plates on ,the table were suddenly driven from their positions. At a ferry near the same place the passengers felt a shock while crossing on the water in a boat. The river exhibited a strange motion for a short time and the water was observed to ebb and flow on the margin.—Perth Constitutional. NORTH BERwICK.—On Wednesday night last, about a quarter-past ten o'clock, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt by a number of the inhabitants. The doors were shaken on the hinges, and the windows rattled—those •who were in bed were moved as by.the rocking of a cradle, and those who were sitting were violently shaken. Even the birds iu the cages fluttered, and showed symptoms of alarm .for a con siderable time afterwards. The night was calm, cloudy, and wet. A slight sensation was felt about five minutes after wards. The first continued about three seconds, the last not so long. DOLLAR, 34TH OCT.—The earthquakes that have of late been agitating the south-Western parts of Perthshire have been extending their alarming vibrations to our Arcadian vale. Since Saturday the 12th current, repeated shocks, cotempo raneous, I believe, with those at Comrie, have been felt, not only in the valley, but along the southern acclivities of the Ochill Hills. These mountain masses, that form the north ern barrier of the vale of the Devon, seem to be light as'n Ce 44.114. .11114444/lia. [JAC,.i simultaneously quiver throughout all their' extent. The most violent shocks we have here . expetieneed took place on Wed ' nesday, the 16th, at half-past two in the morning, and last night, (that of Wednesday, the 23d,) at a quarter-past ten o'clock. This last shock l was the severest and most alarming of all. .Families were put into confusion by it, and some left • their homes in alarm. Sleep was banished for the night., .To the writer of this aceOunt, the' sensation seemed 'es if two strong impulses upward—the . setsond close - following upon, but stronger than the first—were given to the ground, causing it to bound upward. The'lieuse seemed to reel, like a vessel mounting, a lofty surge eoreing sncldeelyannin it. Half an hour afterwards a slighter shock experienced.' It is to be remarked, •that the weather, during the Moreviolent shocks of the 16th and 23d, was very svarni for the season, with' a languid, still, dripping atmosphere, the ClOnagquitc' motion less, and not a breath of Wind stirring ; -end it deserves no less to be noticeiL that,, previous to last nighCi'shock, the barometer continued gradually rising; notwithstanding the continued rain : last night, during , the time of the shock, it stood at 29.70. This morning,' though the rain still con tinues, it stands at 29.80 ;•thertnometer, 30 and 48. There has been no instance of earthquake in Clackmannanshire, I believe, since the 7th day 'or September; 1801; which was felt through all the central shires of Scotland. Eut that season was a dry, clear, pleasrnt one, with little rain ; this season, on the contrary, has been remarkably cloudy eni rainys—no less than 12i inches of rain haVing fallen here since the Ist of September. ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE. — About a quarter of an hour after ten o'clock on Wednesday night, the shock of an earth quake was felt at Causewayhead, distant rather more than a mile from Stirling. It is said to have been accompanied by the same rumbling noise that had been described as attend ing the recent shocks at Cried' and Comrie, and also to have been so severe as to shake the houses, and, in some in stances, to make articles of earthen and crystal ware rattle and strike against each other. The shock was felt, at the same time, in the lower parts of Stirling—particularly in Cowane-street, the Terrace, and Wellington-place ; but it does not appear to have been nearly so violent as at Cause wayhead, and many places adjacent to it. Since writing the above, we have recived the following accounts, from which it appears that the shook was more severely felt both , at Alloa, and Kincardine, in Perthshire.—Stirling Journal. EARTHQUAKE AT ALLOA.—Two very smart shocks were felt here on Wednesday night, the one about a quarter past ten, and the other about 25 minutes before eleven. The first, and by far the most severe of the two, indicated its approach in a loud noise something like distant thunder, but much more awful and alarming, Many people felt their bedgconsiderably agitated, and furniture of all kinds, espe cially crockery and clock work (the weights)shook violently. House bells in some places were set a ringing, and some people were so terrified as to run to the streets. The second shock was much slighter, but those who felt Any of them des scribe themselves as being in the most disagreeable state EARTHQUAKE AT KINCARDINE.—About half-past ten o'clock p.m., on Wednesday the 23d curt., an earthquake was felt in the parish of Kincardine in Monteith, which shook the houses, making the windows, doors, chairs, mirrors, candlesticks, &c., to move, from the effect of a sudden tremulous motion. The shock came from the west,. preceded by a very loud and rushing sound, resembling .the rolling of a heavy carriage. The moon's light was obscured by constant rain ; but the atmosphere, to the southward, was in fearful commotion, resembling the commencement cf a hurricane. About ten minutes before eleven o'clock of the same evening, and also between one and two o'clock on Thursday morning . , other shocks were heard and felt, but not so alarming as on the first occasion. In the southward at these intervals there was, as before, a very gloomy and varied light—a tinge of glowing yelloW pervaded tjie atmosphere.— ARDENTINNY, GLENFINNA.D.T. — Rather a smart shock of earthquake was felt in this glen on Wednesday last, the 23d instant. It was preceded by a loud noise resembling thunder ; or rather the rumbling sound of carriages rapidly , apprnaching, and, when this nose was at its height,. the earth shook very perceptibly, for a few seconds. It took place at.-about a quarter pass ten p.m., was felt by seyeral, and brought - some, out of their 'houses. The - 'weather was' very'wet during that, and the preceding day, and on Tuesday night the sky had a peculiar appearance, the moon, as it were, floating in rain ; and giving out a sickly light—Scottish 'Guardian. • BRIDGE OF EARN.—A slight shoek'of an earthquake was distinctly felt here on Wednesday evcnin7.:, about ten o'clock. There was first a hollow murmuring noise, which continued about the space of a minute. The shock which followed was such that made the houses to shake. There had been inces sant rain during the previous day. Heavy showers also must have fallen during the night, and this morning (Thursday) the rain continues with unabated violence.—lbid. EARTHQUAKE AT INVERNESS.-011 Wednesday night, about half-past ten o'clock, there was a slight shock of an earthquake here. It lasted only for a few seconds, and pro duced no serious eact.—lbid. APPAiLING FACT.—In North America, whero "civil contract marriages" prevail, in the state of Connecticut alone, there were no less than 500 divorces in a circuit. THE BLESSINGS OF HOPE.—I advert not at present to those immortal objects to which hope points,_bcyond the confines of this world. Hope is to man, even in reference to his present state of being, a treasure of inestimable value. Without it existence would be intolerable. Instead of a blessing it would prove a curse. The crime of suicide would, in fact, • become so prevalent, that the earth would soon be depopulated. Its rational inhabitants would ere long dis appear from off its factr, and the brute creation would claim it as their sole heritage. The most forlorn and miserable of the human race feel their wretchedness much alleviated in the hope that they will yet see better days. A large, if not the larger proportion of human happiness, is de rived from this conviction. At certain periods of our life, our hopes are more than ordinarily sanguine. We feel, as it were, that we have entered on a new and brighter era of our existence ; and reason ourselves into the persuasion— ofttimes a very delusive one—that days and weeks and months of almost unmingled and uninterrupted felicity are before us. And, strange as it may seem, we t'-naciously cling to this anticipation of a happy future, notwithstanding the innumerable disappointments our former hopes have en countered, until we feel ourselves enclosed in the rude and repulsive arms of death.—Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literature, by the Author of " The Great Me tropolis. NANTUCKET SHEEP SHE AILING.—The carnival has com menced. The orgies of the mutton-worshippers are begin rain.. to burst forth, and the woolley world is in an agony , and . a catastrophe of helter-skelter-ism. .The millhills skip like rains, and the hammocks like young lambs ; and the - shear pen rageth and foameth, as it were, a sea of living 'fleece—not fleas -s-bah ! Four legged creatures, of all practi cable supposable shapes, are getting into a furious passion. The very cows' commons are getting into commotion. All around the moving elements are head up and tail up—and the prominent cry is,, " Cut on. Dunnum," which meaneth, "Go it, Jerry !" The whole country is bewitched, and the sands thereof are turned topsey-turvey ; the grand design is to knock all creation into a Whoorah's nest. Reader, didst ever bestride a water-legged spar in the still cicick—and spy ing in the cozy bed below a wriggling eel—didst ever clasp thy thunib,unentbe a serpent's tail, with the hope of holding him thereby ? Or di: St ever think of detaining within thy grasp, by the aid of soft soap, or other saponaceous unction, the like extremity of a swine or an alligator ? Or hast thou ever undertaken, in any similar fashion, to catch a bumble ' bee - or a devil's darning-needle ? If "nay" thou answereth, ' then dost thou know nought of the impossibilities of philo sophy ! Thine experimental acquaintance with the perplexi ties of existence are as nothing, and less than nothing, and thy wisdom not worth a brass baubee ; for thou art but an abecedarian in the mysteries of botheration ; but if thou canst comprehend these aforesaid difficulties, then wilt thou appre ciate that tribulation which at this present besetteth us, the publishers and printers hereof, viz., the revolt of all hands against labouring-hmong types and ink during the feast of the Muttonheads, which they profanely call the Patriarchal Jubilee. Consequence is, no paper next Saturday.—Nau tucket Enquirer. MATHEws IN DISGUISE.—When Godwin was engaged on " Cloudesly," he wrote to Mathews to say, that as a part of the incidents required disguises, and as he was anxious not to shame probability, he requested half an hour's conversation, and to have his memory refreshed as to the power of destroy ing personal identity. Mathews soon convinced him tin the subject :—" Soon after he had convinced Mr. Godwin that he might venture to assume such a power of deception pos slible in his own plot, a gentleman (an eccentric neighbour of ours) broke in upon us just as Mr. Godwin was expressing his wonder at the variety of expression, character, and voice, of which Mr. Mathews was capable. We were embarrassed, and Mr. Godwin evidently vexed at the intruder. However, there was no help for it ; the servant had admitted him, and he was. introduced in form to Mr. Godwin. The moment Mr. Jenkins (for such was his name) discovered the person he liad.so luckily.for him dropped in upon, he was enthusi astically pleased at the event, talked to Mr. Godwin about the forthcoming' book,—in fact, bored him through and through,—at last the author turned to my husband for refuge susiast eeis assault of admiration, and discovered that his host had tett the room. tie therefore rose frcim his seat, anti approached the window leading to the lawn ; Mr. Jenkins officiously following, and insistiag, upon opening it for him ; and while he was urging a proyokingly obstinate lock, the object of his devoted attention waited behind him for release. • The casement at length flew open, and Mr. Godwin, passing the gentleman with a courteous look of thanks, found, to his astonishment, that Mr. Jenkins had disappeared, and that Mr. Mathews stood in his place !"—Mathews's Memoirs. Dtarett WIDOWS.—The Dutch are beginning to vie with the Americans' in the article of original advertisements. A short time ago one of the Dutch manufacture—and the production of a woman too—came under, my observation, and struck me as being extremely happy of its kind. Here it is, and let the reader fudge of it's merits for himself : " Van Roerst died on the 15th instant. He was the best of husbands, and his relict is inconsolable at her loss. God rest his soul in peace, is the earnest prayer of his deeply afflicted widow, who will, as usual, continue to supply her friends with the best articles in the grocery and the cheese •mongery line, at the most reasonable terms." Here an ar dent affection for the " dear departed," is most ingeniously blended with the affairs of the shop. In England, we can not manage matters in this fashion. If a woman be incon solable for the death of her husband,—which every woman ought to be, especially if, as in this case, he was " the best of husbands,"—:lie Very foolishly forgets everything else in the extremity of her affliction. In Holland the deepest regret for a deceased partner in life, is perfectly compatible with a due - regard to the pounds, shillings, and pence matters of tire shop. There the inconsolable widow, even when in the depths of her distress, never for one moment, if in the " grocery and cheesemongery line,"—or, we suppose, in any other line—forgets that she has " arti cles" to vend " at the most reasonable terms ;" and in no tifying to her friends the decease of her husband, she takes care to intimate the latter fact also. Sorrow and business ; the grave and the shop, are here blended together with a fecility peculiar to the inconsolable" widows of Holland. —Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literature, by the Author rye " The Great Metropolis.'t ping Entriligente, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29.--Wind N.E.

The arrivals•of English, Irish and Foreign Wheat since Tuesday last contain a fair supply: we have also to notice a tolerable quan tity of Pease from abroad, and increasing receipts of Oatmeal from Ireland, but of other articles collectively, the imports of the week ate only moderate. As with very fine weather since Friday, the farmers are still exclusively occupied in out-door labours, the deli. veries of home-grown Wheat are small for the moment, and the prices of such during the past week have, in consequence, been well supported. In the course of yesterday, several further parcels of Fore , gn Wheat were taken for Irish account and consumption here; and influenced by the improvement in London, our market this morning opened at an advance of 2d to 3d per 701 b upon the rates of Tuesday last for all descriptions, which, although tending to prevent auy lively or considerable operations, a moderately fair ex tent di business was done.—Foreign Flour was in request, and in partial instances obtained 6tl to is per barrel over the terms of last week, hut in English and Irish there was no amendment.—Malting Barley and Beans were is to 2s per qr. dearer, and Pease supported former prices, with a good demand for each.—New Oats, being still in short supply, acquired Id, and old fully 2cl per 451 b more than last week, at which both sold rather freeiy.—Oatineal, although snore plentiful, was in tolerable demand, and brought quite as high prices as on this day seinnight.
