Etttraturt. POETRY. MEMORY. BY ROBERT W. THost, Author of the " Epochs." (For the Liverpool Standard.) The hours and the years and the ages depart, Like summers from earth, or the guest from our door, And the dreams of the soul and the hopes of the heart Are borne from their birthplace to find it no more. They melt from our life as the dome from the stream, An instant upreared in the glory of light; But linger in memory as shapes in a dream, As earth in the beauty of stars and of night. 'Tis well, for life's uplands are solemn and sad, And the strength of our manhood is married to sorrow; And the soul that is wearied would never be glad, For the shades of to-day are tha walks of to-morrow. • But we tread them in calmness, if joy be denied, And in courage we wait for the season of rest, When the oil and the balm are by memory supplied, • And she lulls us to sleep and we dream on her breast. LORD DENMAN. (From the Law Times.) At a meeting of the Home Circuit Mess, held at Kingston on-Thames, on the 2nd of April, 1850, at which the accompany ing verses were recited by the Poet Laureate, it was unani., mously resolved that the verses should be printed, and a copy sent to each member of the circuit, and a copy both of the verses and of this resolution should be forwarded to Lord Denman. . " His life was noble ; and the elements • So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world,—This was a man." • We who have known thee long, and watched thee near, Forgive your Laureate if he flings away His motley mask, and dares he brave to-day, While to the memory of a great career He yields a homage, feeble—but sincere. A noble race is ended ; from the noise Of Life's arena to the tranquil joys Of wise seclusion, glorious with a crown Of civic worth and dignified renown • DENMAN retires, and leaves a lofty name To the sure keeping of historic fame. Long shall the name of DENMAN live enshrined In the fond reverence of the English mind ; Rich as he was in every manly grace That stamps the sons of England's hero race; True Saxon worth, cast in the stately mould Of Roman grandeur; stein and lion-souled, Yet touched by kindlier impulses that move The hearts, that else had but admired, to love. England remembers how in manhood's flower, The bold assailant of all lawless power, His voice was lifted loudest in the van Of those who fought against the trade in man. England has not forgotten how the rush Of his fierce eloquence rolled forth to crush The courtly crew who, to appease the spleen Of a King's spite, would immolate a queen; Nor how, with front erect, he trod the path Of Justice, heedless of a Senate's wrath ; And, firm for rights our fathers handed down, Withstood the House, as he had braved the Crown. , Throned on the seat of judgment, be combined The purest purpose with the widest mind; His aim was always Justice; his delight To render Law commensurate with Right, And from the breadth of that august domain, Weed the rank growth of quibbling and chichane. No zealous votary of the cumbrous lore That " darkened counsel" in the days of yore; Not blindly worshipping as things divine The dust and cobwebs of the legal shrine; But bent to make,—so taught in Wisdom's school, — Our laws progressive, like the realm they rule. His proud demeanour and majestic grace Suited the height of his illustrious place : Blended extremes in him we could admire, MURRAY'S fine ease, and CHATHAM'S generous fire; Calmly sedate and equably polite He felt no preference, and he shewed no slight; Not prone to talk, but diligent to hear; Prompt, and yet patient; firm, but not austere: Not quick to wrath, but when fit cause arose To stir his lion-nature from repose,— Some deed of baseness , cruelty, or shame,— Swift shot the electric impulse through his frame. The grave brow lowered ; the eye, so calm and cold, Flashed sudden fire; and fotth in thunder rolled The voice whose accents clothed with solemn awe The indignant doom of violated law. DENMAN farewell I forgive the attempt to twine A wreath so worthless for a brow like thine; But while all others hasten to salute , Thy name with honour, how can webesinute ? We who have known thee long, and watched thee near, Dispensing Justice in our narrower sphere ; Who feel thy loss not more to be deplored On the grave bench than at the genial board, — That festive scene where thou didst love to sit, Promoting manly mirth and honest wit, Where not a guest, howe'er " unknown to fame," But heard thy deep voice pledge him by his name, While proudly through our hearts the feeling ran— " Other s revere the Judge, we love the Man." Once more farewell ! may every blessing wait On thy retirement, to a distant date May all the pleasures of a taste refined, And all the affluence of a well-stored mind, And all the affections of a loving breast, Solace thy age, and sanctify thy rest. VARIETIES. THE WRITTEN WORD REMAINS.—Now pause for a moment, to contemplate the duration and triumph of sacred song, and to observe how it has outlived other things. David was ambitious to build the temple; the Holy Spirit overruled him. He penned his Psalms. His son built the fabric, which seemed to defy destruction. The Ark, the Tabernacle, the Temple, the ancient walls of Zion have vanished away. The sceptre of Judah is broken—the very ground of Mount Zion has lost its original aspect—but the songs of Zion, the melodies of David, and the enraptured strains of the Prophets, have outlived time and destruction, and the very enemies and oppressors of Israel sing their songs in strange lands. — Dr. Gilly. ORNAMENTS ON STEEL.—Ornaments are now com monly put upon steel by the chemical action of the solutions of the various metals, most of them being combinations with acids. The steel being covered with some etching ground, the design is cut through to the metal, and, the metallic solution being poured upon it, the metal, or its oxide is precipitated, and a super ficial chemical combination is thus effected. Steel may be gilded by the employment of the ethereal solution of gold. This is made by taking a neutral solu tion of chloride of gold and agitating it with some electrified ether; the gold is thus separated from the one fluid, and held in solution by the other. Upon dipping steel into this the real solution an electro-chemical action appears to take place, the result of which is that a film of gold is de posited upon the metal. In this way " gold-eyed needles" receive the small coating of the precious metal ; and many steel ornaments are thus fancifully decorated. The coating which the steel thus receives is exceedingly attenuated, and much friction removes it from the surface. Art Journal. BOY OR GIRL.—The following mode wag adopted a few years ago in a branch of my family residing in Denbigh shire, with the view of discovering the sex of an infant previous to its birth. As I do not remember to have met with it in other localities, it may, perhaps be an interesting addition to your " Folk Lore." An old woman of the village, strongly attached to the family, asked permission to use a harmless charm to learn if the expected infant would be male or female. Accord ingly, she joined the servants at their supper, where she assisted in clearing a shoulder of mutton of every particle of meat. She then held the hlr.de-bone to the fire until it was scorched, so as to permit her to force her thumbs through the thin part. Through the holes thus made she passed a string, and, having knotted the ends together she drove in a nail over the back door, and left the house, giving strict injunctions to the servants to hang the bone up in that place the last thing at night. Then they were carefully to observe who should first enter that door on the following morning, exclusive of the members of the household, and the sex of the child would be that of the first comer. Th's rather vexed some of the servants, who wished for a boy, as two or three women came regularly each morning to the house, and a man was scarcely ever scan there; but, to their delight, the first comer on this occasion proved to be a man, and in a few weeks the old woman's reputation was established throughout the neighbourhood by the birth of a boy.— Notes and Queries. THE VERACITY OF A RED REPUBLICAN.—Ledru Rollin, the careful gentleman who in June last so cleverly escaped his deserts with some uneasy wounds to his per son and dignity, has just published a book on the "Decline of England." As it is brimful of what is politely called errors, we leave others to point out what most concerns them, while we exhibit Ledru's veracity with respect to the Church. This very truthful repub lican gravely tells his readers that, during the war cat ried on by us against France, our clergy preached from the pulpit that "to kill a Frenchman wheresoever you meet him is a deed acceptable to God ;" and that after such injunctions whole congregations were apt to issue forth and massacre every Frenchman they could meet 1 In another page we are told that the robbers, vagrants, and prostitutes in our streets. are often the children of the poorer clergy, too proud to assume humble and honest occupations. The English clergy, we, or rather Ledru's French readers, a re so l emn l y assure d , are o f such a grasping nature that they have obtained a power over succession to property b y arrogat i ng to themselves the decision of all testamentary questions ; while so lax is the discipline of the Church, that even the widows of peers are empowered to give an incumbent a dispensation from residence ! Ledru then informs his French public that English clergymen are such slaves that they read the sermon, " in order that the priest may always be able to place his discourse before the magistrate, if he should be suspected of having prepaulgated doctrines contrary to law ;" and finally—that is, not finally as to Ledru's assertions, but as to our patience and want of space—that circumstances sometimes present themselves in which " the bishops send written sermons to the ministers, with orders to read them without alteration!" We should take Munchausen to be a dull book after the " Deca dence de l'Angleterre" of Citizen Ledru Rollin. ROSSINI'S HABITS OF PROCRASTINATION . —Rossines desperate idleness and habits of procrastination are pro verbial. On more than one occasion personal restraint was resorted to, to compel the fulfilment of his engage ments. Thus, at Milan, sentinels were placed at his door, and no exit allowed him, until he had completed an opera of which the two first acts were already in re hearsal. Barbaja, the celebrated impresario, kept him for some time prisoner in his palace on the Naples Toledo, refusing him liberty until he should have composed the long -promised opera of Otello. Remonstrances were disregarded by the inflexible manager , se R oss i n i se t t o work, and, with his usual facility, soon sent down a por tion of the score, h ea d ed Introduzione. This was trans mitted to the copyist ; but the same evening Rossini ap plied for it again, on pretext of alteration. Next morn ang another MS. reach e d B ar b a j a, inscri b ed Cavatina. It followed Its predecessor to the copyist, and, in like manner, was re-demanded for correction. Barbaja glee fully rubbed his hands at finding that these revisions did not.delay Rossini, who sent down page after page of copy, to the extent of an entire act. But the irritable manager was like to go distracted when, on applying to the copyist for the whole score, he found the introduction was all that .had been composed. It had been travelling to and fro between Rossini and the theatre, and, at each journey, the incorrigible composer had headed it with a different title. The trait is characteristic, and strictly authentic. The same story is told, at greater length, and with some embellishments, in one of Alexander Dumas' volumes of Italian travelling sketches. Managers, however, found compensation in Rossini's rapidity for his provoking idle ness. When he did set to work, he got over the paper at a gallop ; and, when driven to the last minute, his fertility and invention were wonderful. Some of his finest things were composed on the spur of the moment, and in breath less haste. The celebrated air Di tanti Palpiti is one of these. His dinner hour was at hand, when, driven to the wall by urgent solicitations, he one day sat down to com pose it. His cook, learning that the Maestro was really about to work—no very common occurrence—thrust his head in at the door, and ventured a supposition that he had " better not put the rice to boil." "On the con trary, boil it directly" replied Rossini, who was hungry. Before the rice. that indispensable preface to an Italian dinner, was fit for table, the air and its introduction were composed. Di tanti Palpiti is still familiarly known as the Aria dei rizzi.—Blackwood. @tnera I AltOrtilanv. The John Williams missionary ship has arrived from the South Seas. Fourteen ships have been destroyed by the spontaneous combustion of coal dnring the last four years.

Sir Charles Napier is expected to return shortly from India, and it is said that Sir William Gomm will succeed him. The Earl of Shrewsbury, (a Whig Roman Catholic landlord) has declined to make any abatement from his Worcestershire tenantry. The mortality of London continues so low that the present year bids fair to present the lowest average on record. The foundation-stone of the Wesleyan Methodist New. Kingswood School, at Lansdown, near Bath, is to be laid on the 20th inst., by Mr. Heald, M.P.

Out of 561 vessels trading with Bristol last year, carry ing 128,215 tons, only 77 vessels, of 29,471 tons, belonged to the port of Bristol. Mr. Catlin, the extensive North American explorer, considers Texas to be the most desirable spot among the United States for emigration. _ _ Miss Wilson, daughter of Lady Seymour, was killed at Oxford on Tuesday, by a fall from her horse. The animal trod on a loose stone, and its stumbling threw the unfor tunate lady from her seat.

At Wells, in Somersetshire, Eliza Card was recently fined 10s. for taking a load of calves, with their legs tied and their heads hanging over the sides of the cart, thereby causing them to be in great torture. An old woman, named Broadley, is now living at Banks, near Huddersfield, in the same house she has oc cupied for 78 years. During the whole period she has only slept twice in any other house. TnE STRIKE IN WALES.—No arrangement has yet been made between the masters and men for the hours of labour in the mines, the men, as a body, still persisting only to work six hours, instead of eight per day. A lady-like female, named Chambers, has been sen tenced to transportation for life, for forging the name of the Rev. C. Randolph, to an acceptance for several hun died pounds. There are frequently as many as ten or a dozen French ships discharging cargoes of corn and flour in Penzance Pier at one time, the whole of which return to France in ballast without expending £5 in the place. Last week, when the Orion ( from Liverpool to Glas gow) approached Greenock, a young man pulled a razor out of his pocket, and, in the presence of all the people on deck, cut his throat from ear to ear, and died imme diately. The boiler of a steam-engine, attached to a thrashing machine, employed on a farm near Peterborough, burst a few days ago, and three corn stacks were bu rn t d own , havin g been set on fire by some of the hot cinders thro wn about by the explos'on of the boiler. A Romish priest named Daniel O'Connell was com mitted to prison for seven days at the Thames Police-office, London, on Thursday, for being drunk and disorderly. He had knocked several street preachers off their stools because their remarks offended him.

At a meeting at Grantham last week, a preacher named Rogers, was expelled the Wesleyan Connexion, and another named King, was suspended. A number of Wesleyans assembled outside the building and hissed and hooted the leaders as they left the meeting. A swarm of bees alighted on the face and neck of Mr. Newton, yeoman, at Woodhouses, Cumberland, on Sa turday week, and after nearly an hour the bees were safely deposited in a new hive, without having done him the slightest injury. A public meeting was held on Wednesday, in Sack ville-street, Piccadilly, for the purpose of raising a fund in honour of the , memory of the late Queen Adelaide, to be applied to the relief of orphan daughters of naval and marine officers. The lord provost and magistrates of Edinburgh have resolved to give a six weeks' trial to a plan, proposed by Councillor Wemyss, for fixing a uniform hackney carriage fare of a shilling to all places within the parliamentary bounds of the city. Among the most recent inventions is one for encir cling the tires of carriage wheels with india-rubber, whereby their progress is rendered noiseless. One of the advantages alleged in favour of the invention is its great economy, the wear and tear being very slight. CRICKET.—The Hereford club have arranged to play the Eleven of All England, in August next, at Hereford. Fourteen players of Yorkshire, at Sheffield, on Monday and Tuesday last. beat the All England Eleven by eleven wickets. The Viceroy steamer was spoken on the 4th instant, at 10 a.m., in latitude 55 38, longitude 21 30, by the Sesos tris, just arrived. It was blowing a gale of wind from the west at the time. The Viceroy appeared to be steam ing about seven miles an hour. One of the clergy of the town of Dorchester refused the church's burial office a few days since to an unbaptised child. The body was subsequently interred in the church•. yard by the undertaker, at ten o'clock at night, amidst considerable popular excitement. . . On Wednesday, in London, a young woman, whilst imprudently sitting on the sill of an attic window, which she was cleaning, suddenly let go her hold, and falling backwards, fell upon the pavement with a fearful crash. Death was instantaneous. The magistrates of Aberystwith, South Wales, hare been engaged in instituting inquiries into the death of Mr. Edward Edwards, a respectable farmer occupying lands at Roscellan, near that town, and who is supposed to have been murdered on or about the 15th of last month. A new and elegant adhesive postage envelope has just been issued by the stamp-office authorities ; the improve ment consisting in making the envelope adhesive, and appending an embossed displaying the national em blems of the rose, thistle, and rhamrock, in raised white, upon a delicate pink ground: In Ayrshire and Lanarkshire the strike still continues, and much distress must exist among the families of the workmen. A meeting of the masters was held yesterday week, when it was resolved that the colliers should not be allowed to return to work at wages over 3s. 3d. per day, with the former outpit. Two young men, named Elliot and Metcalf, were drowned in Windermere on Sunday evening week, by the upsetting of a boat. They were accompanied by two brothers of the name of Bolton, who were saved with much difficulty. All the parties, it is said, had been drinking too freely. A Commission that has been sitting at Hellingdon, Middlesex, has declared the Rev. Herbert Charles Marsh, Rector of Barnack, near Stamford, and son of the late Bishop of Peterborough, to have been of unsound mind and incapable of managing his own affairs since February last. A Scotch paper relates that on Friday evening week a young couple were married at Barrhead, and on the fol lowing Sunday morning the husband was suddenly seized with madness, rushed out of the house, and was not dis covered until the following day, when he was found wandering in the streets of Glasgow, in a state of mental derangement that rendered it necessary to place him iu the lunatic asylum, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. The Nepaulese ambassadors were entertained at a grand banquet on Saturday, by the East India Company. Lords Statdgy, Ashley, and Brougham, were among those present. -As Bohn as gtace was said, the noble foreigners retired to the small drawing-room and partook of various kinds of fruit,• nectarines, peaches, strawberries, &c.• In the week before last, a diabolical attempt to explode a mine, by igniting the powder magazine, was made near Redruth. Providentially the matches, placed in the keyhole of the floor for this purpose, did not ignite, or every building in the 'neighbourhood would have been ruined. The attempt was made after the miners had left work. Miss Ann Baldwin, governess in the French Catholic School,' Gravel-lane, Southwark, has been fined 20s. by the Southivark Police Magistrate, for excessively pun ishing a scholar. William Holland, a child only five years old, 'misbehaved at chapel; Miss Baldwin beat h - him very seriously with a cane, scoring his back from the neck to the loins. . Thomas Davies,. one of the detective police officers employed on the Eastern Counties Railway, is in prison at Norwich, awaiting his trial, for stealing a parcel con taining money in course of transit from Norwich to,Lon don, on the 19th ult. He was proved to have paid a£s note, contained in the parcel, to Moses and Son, of the Minories, which was the means of his detection. Bates, a man who has been keeping the Boar's Head public-house at Reading, is in custody on a charge of being a returned convict. Bates excited his wife's anger by his incontinence; in revenge, she informed the police that her hnsband was, many years ago, convicted of sheep stealing, and was transported, but managed to escape to England. On Saturday last, as Mr, Sibley, schoolmaster at Highgate, was walking with his pupils near the ponds at Lower Heath, Hampstead, he was alarmed by the cries for help of a youth, named Barnes, of Camden Town, who was bathing. Without removing any of his clothes, he plunged into the water to save the sinking lad, and both were drowned. The "Hudson's Bay Company have discovered that the colony of Vancouver's Island is suitable for growing hemp. Specimens of rope roughly made from it have been re ceived in. London, and it appears that it will bear a strain of 21b above the admiralty standard of 841 b. The mate rial has also been examined by competent dealers, and its value estimated at £3O per ton. On Tuesday week, when the seamen on board the steamer Ayrshire Lass, plying between Glasgow and Stranrear, were setting the mainsail, they discovered an almost completed sparrow's nest in one ot.its folds. The nest must have been built while the steamer lay at Girvan, and within four days, as the sail had been used the previous Friday. The Lord Mayor of London has issued invitations to the Right Hon. the Earl of Zetland, the grand waster, and the whole of the heads and principal members of the masonic order in England, to a grand banquet in the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion-house, on the 28th instant.

Caroline Pereira, an Indian Ayah, has been taken into custody, and is committed to take her trial for an exten sive robbery of silks, jewellery, and fancy articles; from Dr. Dorward, whose family she accompanied to England. She is the prosecutor in a case of alleged robbery by two of her fellow-passengers on the voyage. Some of the articles she charges them with stealing, appear to have belonged to Dr. Dorward. THE WEST INDIA MAIL ROUTE.—OH and from the 2nd of September next, a modification of the present West India mail route scheme will come into operation. The steamers will no longer call at Bermuda, but will go direct, both on the 2nd and I7th of the month, to St. Thomas and Chagres, returning by the same route. Branch steamers will convey the mails to and from St. Thomas and Jamaica, the Mexican Gulf, the Spanish Main, and the Windwl rd and Leeward Islands. A further correspondence between Mr. Cobden and Mr. Garbett, on the subject of the charges against Capt. Smith, has been published. Mr. Cobden asks Mr. Garbett if he is not the Garbett convicted, some time ago, at the Old Bailey, for forgery, and discharged on a technical point of law ? Mr. Garbett, in reply, asks Mr. Cobden if he is not a humbug. Also, if he is not the same Cobden whose bills, in 1845, were offered for dis count at forty per cent ? Here the matter ends. FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.—On Wednesday, a fire of very considerable magnitude broke out, on premises occupied by, and the property of, Mr. Dowler, uphol sterer, Leamington. Damage was done to the extent of £30,000, whilst insurance is effected to the amount only of £5,000. A poor fellow, a stranger to the town, whilst occupied in directing the hose of one of the engines, was struck down by an iron pillar, which fell on his head with tremendous force. He is since dead. A CENTENARIAN.—Hard work and cider won't kill a man, that's certain ; for there is an old man residing at Mark, near Cross, by the name of Peters. w h o , p rov id e d he lives to the 241 of the present month, will arrive at the extraordinary age of 101 years. He is able to smoke his pipe, and drink his glass of gin -and-water or cider, and converse freely on different subjects. " Cider," the old man says, " will never injure any man," if so be he is not afraid of work ; a gallon a-day has often been my share."—Dorset Chronicle. Last week Phillip's Fire Annihilator, which has been four years before the public, was put to a practical test, under the inspection of the Marquis of Anglesea, Master- General of the Ordnance, on Plumstead Common. A. house was fired on purpose to try its efficacy, but the ex periment completely failed, and the devouring element was allowed to have undisturbed possession of its victim, which was !speedily destroyed. The whole proceeding wag worked by the patentee's own men, under the inventor's direction. AN ODD PUBLIC MEETING. —On Wednesday night Mr. Mayhew, of comic celebrity, and metropolitan com missioner on " the labour and poor" inquiry to the Morning Chronicle, assembled, at the National Hall, Holborn, London, all the available costermongers, street sellers, jugglers, standing patterers, street performers, flying stationers, and labourers of the great city. The object was to get from each trade a statement as to their means of existence. Representatives of each branch of the nomadic profession made speeches, and the whole proceedings were very harmonious—and very melancholy. THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY, K.G.—A very fine monumental statue of this eminent statesman has just been erected in Westminster Abbey. It occupies a commanding position in the north transept of the Cathedral, and is appropriately placed opposite to that of Mr. Canning. The figure is life size, in the purest white Carrara marble, and well preserves the noble mien for which the original was distinguished. The attitude which the artist has chosen is that of an orator; in one hand is placed a scroll, on which is inscribed " Peace of Paris, 1814 ;" the other supports the robes of the Garter, which form flowing draperies round the figure. A MINISTER KNOCKING HIMSELF OUT OF HIS OWN PULPIT.—A Sabbath or two ago, in a small church not a hunired miles from the Solway, a young preacher of Herculean ability, physical and mental, was approaching the climax of his Roman bursts of eloquence, when the front of the pulpit, which had for half an hour been treated most cruelly, suddenly gave way, and the earnest and striking preacher (to the great consternation of the audience, and the still greater horror of the precentor) was pitched headlone half way up the area of the church. The preacher escaped with a few slight bruises, but the poor precentor, we are sorry to state, was severely injured. EXTRAORDINARY CASE AT USK.—A few days since, as a woman in humble life was correcting some of her neigbbours' children for some supposed insult which they had offered to her own, she was greatly excited while ut tering her threats, and, when entering her habitation, the fell down apparently lifeless, and survived not many hours. A young man, in the employ of a respectable grocer in the town, was conversing with the woman a few minutes before, and, on hearing of the event, he went to see her after death had taken place; but he was seized with violent fits, in which he continues at intervals. He was treated with every kindness by his employer ; but there being no prospect of his speedy recovery, the young man has returned to his parents, who reside in Bristol, and it is supposed that his sufferings will be protracted for some time.—Bristol Afirroi% REMOVAL OF A WAREHOUSE.—A remarkable trial of science—the wholesale removal of a large warehouse— was achieved last week at Cardiff. Messrs. J. and J. Grant and Co., the extensive timber merchants, having lately had occasion to enlarge their premises, found it necessary to lemove their bonded warehouse a distance of about 100 feet. Instead of accomplishing the task by taking the whole asunder, and shifting it stick by stick, in the old style, the entire pile was the other day at once removed, with great ease and without extracting a single nail, by raising the whole warehouse on rollers, and pro pelling it by massive chains. Ere this triumph . of scien tific skill took place, which astonished all who witnessed its accomplishment, many wagers were made respecting the alleged impossibility of effecting what.was so boldly designsd. The warehouse measures 80 feet long by 50 feet wide, and is 40 feet high.,—Swansea Herald. SUNDAY LABOUR AT THE POST-OFFlCS.—Deliberately opposed to the abolition of Sunday labour at the Post office, the Times and Morning Chronicle complain of the Government for its too ready compliance with an address which they contend, was carried in the house by a sur prise, while the members were at dinner. The Morninp Herald stigmatises their complaint as a " di s h ones t cr y, the more dishonest, because the opponents of the measure built their hopes mainly on their chance of bringing on a - division at this unpropitious hour. " The Government opposed the motion, and the Government had twenty- Seven placemen present to vote against it. The Forsters, Humes, and Cobdens, opposed it, and their little knot of about twenty haters of cant' watched every opportunity of throwing out the motion. It was their game, they thought, to get a division at the dinner-hour, when these fifty sure votes might be more than half of the members present. Still more on that night, when 70 members, most o f the m supporters of the motion, were drawn away by the Mansion-house dinner. The opponents played this game, and were, nevertheless, beaten." THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The bright sunny weather we are now enjoying has consummated the pro mise of spring by the most luxuriant appearance of every description of agricultural produce, The wheat crops are all that can be wished for, and every other description of cereal and leguminous vegetation is in the most healthy and abundant state. The meadows are full of grass. Haymaking is now an easy, rapid, and inexpensive pro cess, many fine ricks having already been established in several of the farm-yards of this neighbourhood. Sheep shearing has been in active progress, and the clip bas proved excellent in quality and profuse in supply. Apples will not yield the prodigious crop at one time anticipated, but cider will nevertheless be plentiful and cheap. Pears have very generally suffered from a few frosts. Potatoes are looking strong, and entirely free from blight or any other damaging influence. Some samples were sold in our market,.last Saturday, at 6d. per lb. All other vege tables are abundant and cheap. Strawberries will be a large produce : they were hawked in our streets at 10d. per quart. The supply came from the Exeter grouudm- Taunton Courier. In the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday, Bartho lomew Keating, a letter-carrier, in the employ of the General Postoffice, was convicted of having stolen 255 letters, which, it appeared, mostly consisted of notices from the Commissioners of Inlard Revenue, for the de livery of which the prisoner received extra pay, and the suyposition was that he had kept them back solely to save himself the trouble of delivering them. He was sen tenced to imprisonment and hard labour for one year.— Another carrier, named Simpson, was sentenced to a year's imprisonment and hard labour, for a like misde meanour. THE EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY.—It appears that of the thirty-eight designs for the building of the Great Ex hibition of Industry in 1851, submitted by foreigners, thirty received honourable mention, while of the more than two hundred contributed by England, Ireland, and . Scotland, only thirty-eight are so distinguished ; and, beyond this, it will be noted with dissatisfaction by many, perhaps, although the dissatisfaction will arise from very different causes in different minds, that with the exception of one from London, one from Reading, and one from Dublin, all the designs which are pointed out as super eminently good come from abroad. In the first round of the fight England has gone down ! WHo IS IT ?—The London correspondent of a local contemporary says—" Ere many days are over • you may expect full particulars in the papers of a further grand smash on the Duke of Buckingham model—the victim in this instance being also a K.G. of immense no minal revenues in different parts of the three kingdoms ; a functionary in the royal household, though a Tory him self, and the brother of a noble northern Irish Tory in the Commons ; a near relative of the ducal families of Bed ford, Hamilton, Manchester, Gordon, and Richmond ; one of the two individuals (Earl Verulam being the other) who possess peerages in England, Scotland, and Ireland ; and, lastly, not yet forty years of age, and a houseless fugitive from writs and judgments, while half-a-dozen palaces dangle at the end of his titles in the Court Guide.. SURGICAL OPERATION UPON A LEOPARD. —The chetah or hunting leopard, recently presented to the Surrey Zoological Society by the Pacha of Egypt, having accidentally broken one of its legs during its gambols in the cage in which it is confined, amputation of the limb was decided on, and the operation was skilfully performed on Monday last by Professor Simonds, of the Veterinary College, Camden Town. Previous to undergoing the operation the animal was made to inhale chloroform by applying to its mouth and nostrils a sponge 'moistened with that liquid, and fastened to the end of a stick. Its dislike to this part of the process was very loudly expressed; it, however, soon fell under the influence of the chloroform, which evidently rendered it totally insen sible to suffering, as it lay perfectly motionless and quiet during the operation, and until its removal from the operating table, and laced on some clean hay in its den, when it speedily revived and moved about on its remaining three legs as though nothing had occurred. General Jung Bahadoor, the Nepaulese Ambassador, is becoming a " popular member of the aristocracy." He attended a review in Hyde-park early in the week, and manifested high professional satisfaction at the appear ance of the soldiers, and the precision and effective air of their movements. Desiring liberty to testify his pleasure by some mark of Eastern liberality to the men, he learned a lesson of English statecraft—that it is against the rules of our service for a person in the military or diplomatic services to receive a favour from a foreign potentate. His excellency received the intimation with ready wit and tact; acknowledging with graceful flattery to the officers the satisfaction which he was prevented from manifesting more substantially to the men. On Wednesday the General was at the spring festival of the Scottish Hospital, and made a speech in fluent Nepau lese; which was translated by Captain Cavanagh, one of the gentlemen whom her Majesty has placed at the dis posal of the Embassy as escorts and interpreters. The ambassador and suite, in their picturesque dresses, form a prominent feature in the large box next to the Queen's, at her Majesty's Theatre, most opera nights. LETER FROM THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—A short time since (says the Court Journal) the rector of a parish situate in one of the midland counties, having by dint of much personal exertion obtained subscriptions towards the restoration and repair of his beautiful church, still found himself unable to meet ail the claims which the outlay had occasioned. To supply the deficiency, he wrote to many persons of wealth and eminence in the country, politely apologizing for the intrusion, and solicit ing their aid. The following is a copy of the reply which the worthy rector received to the application which he made to his Grace :—" F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mr. —. As Mr. feels that his letter needs apology, the Duke will say no more on that subject, but he must add that, as there is not a church, chapel, glebe-house, school, or even pagoda, built from the north to the south pole, or within the utmost limits of the earth, to which he (the Duke of Wellington) is not called upon to contribute, the Duke is surprised that Mr. —, having already raised £7,500 towards the restoration of his church, should make ap plication to the Duke, who has nothing to say either to —, or to —shire." Immediately upon the receipt of the epistle the rev. gentleman was offered five guineas for the autograph, which he readily accepted, entering the amount in his subscription-list as the Duke of Welling ton's contribution to the fund. UNROLLING OF A MUMMY.—On Monday, the interest ing process of unrolling a mummy was exhibited at the residence of Londesborough, London, in the presence of about sixty of his lordship's private friends. Previous to the operation an explanation was given by Mr. Birch, of the British Museum, of the history of embalment and the art of ureparine mummies. Mr. Birch stated that from the inscription on the outer case (which was in a beautiful state of preservation, the colours being wonderfully fresh and vivid) he considered the present mummy to be of the second class, though a priestess of Isis, as he inferred from the label, " Anchsehesi," she who lives by Isis, and of the age of about 700 B.C. These conjectures were fully confirmed on the unrolling, which disclosed an unusual quantity of papyrus, bearing a profusion of the hieratic. or current hand, hieroglyphic characters, descriptive of the profession of the deceased, whose ritual it constituted, and innumerable emblems and devices symbolical of the attributes of her worship. This unwonted amount of papyrus and writing upon it rendered the specimen of ex treme interest in the estimation of those qualified to de cipher the characters ; but Dr. Granville—who, while the unrolling was being proceeded with, gave some :valuable illustrations of the chemical and mechanical details of mummy making, said that the priestess had evidently suffered from the want of judicious governmental control over the Egyptian undertakers, who had swindled her relatives by a wholesale use of bitumen, and the conse quence was apparent when the bandages were removed, for the bones were so charred and the muscles so calcined that the limbs broke off in fragments on the least pressure. MAKING BIRDS ACT AND THINK.—It was our gratifi cation to be present at one of the most graceful and sur prising entertainments which we ever witnessed. Made moiselle Vandermeersch, a young foreigner of most at tractive appearance and manners, being impressed with the idea that birds may be instructed to the performance of various acts, indicative of a power in them to appre hend what language or other modes of communication may convey, has devoted herself with wonderful success to the development of this equally bold and extraordinary idea. The mystery of so elaborate a tuition sets our keenest speculation at defiance. But the result is palpa ble, Mademoiselle V. having satisfied us that the thing may be accomplished. The performance takes place in the young lady's drawing-rooms, and consists of a most diverting succession of tricks of legerdemain on the cards, the birds, under her direction and influence, being the performers. One statement will serve as an illustration. Mademoiselle asks for a watch, which being handed to her, the time is noted. She then opens a cage door, calling by name one of the birds, which, perching upon a long pack of cards placed edge upwards, „selects and pecks out with its beak a card having a number corresponding with the precise hour inscribed on it. In like manner some marvellous feats are performed with playing cards, one of the birds selecting from a large pack several cards in suc cession which several of the visitors had previously fixed upon. But by far the most extraordinary feat was that which.arises from the mention of a given word by a mem ber of the company. One of the ladies or gentlemen present is requested to pronounce a word, not comprising a double use of any one letter, and one of the little per formers immediately forms the word by picking out a number of cards, each bearing a single letter, until the whole word is properly spelt. " Chaise" was the word chosen upon this occasion, and each letter picked out in due order by the bird, was at the same time assigned to its proper place in the formation of the word. It would occupy too much space to dwell upon the details of the extraordinary feats performed by these " learned" birds. But it is due to this singularly interesting performer to say, that a more delightful treat we never before enjoyed. Globe. A SINGULAR ESSEX ARTIST.—Our obituary of this (last) week records the death ofJohn Carter, a self-taught artist, of extraordinary and unique genius, residing in Coggeshall. Originally a farming labourer, not to be dis tinguished amongst his fellows by any extra talent or peculiar power of mind, his life sped on, till one day, being tempted to break the Sabbath, he, with several companions, went to a rookery with the intention of rob bing the nests and securing the young. Carter having climbed a tree to some height missed his hold, and fell to ti:e ground with immense force. He was taken up for dead, but recovered, with the total loss of all vital power in his limbs ; in fact he was completely paralysed, not being able to move any part of his body, with the excep tion of his neck and head. Thus he remained several years, helpless and despairing, till an idea took possession of his mind (always cloudless and unimpaired) that he could sketch or copy a drawing. Necessary implements were immediately procured, and, singular as it may seem, and extraordinary as it may appear, after several trials, he succeeded in producing groups of dogs, foxes' heads, and various other figures, most delicately worked, and most exquisitely finished. The curious reader may inquire how he accomplished this 1.. simply by means of his mouth. His sister stood by his side, and, dipping his pencil in India ink, placed it between his teeth and lips ; and then, by the motion 'of lips and neck, poor Carter succeeded in producing the most wonderful specimens of art. Though for fourteen years Carter was confined to his bed and paralysed, he was very rarely subjected to much bodily illness. Persons passing through Cogges hall may possibly remember having met a man enveloped in sheets and wrappers, 13 ing on a couch-chair, and drawn by two boys. That was Carter, the artist. His works were not very numerous ; necessarily he could work but a few hours at a time, and the elaboration of his per formances was always a labour of many, many hours, and attended, (to himself) by much toil and weariness. His latest productions were " The Head of King Charles the Martyr," after Vandyke ; and " The Sultan's Daughter." All Carter's works bear the appearance of line engravings ; and though many of his early copies are defective, the majority of his later productions are very beautiful. He once received the bounty of the late admirable Queen Dowager, and fully intended, had not death intervened, to WO prepared a piece worthy of Ilia talents for the great exhibition of 1851. His end was accelerated by an unfortunate accident he met with some few days since, caused by the upsetting of the little vehicle in which he occasionally rode about to take necessary air and change. His death was very calm and peaceful ; so let us hope, " after life'sfitful fever, he sleeps well."—Essex Standard. CAUTION TO THOSE WHO WISH TO MARRY.—We copy the following letter from a Hull paper :—Sir,—Pray allow me a corner of your journal to expose one of the most unfeeling attempts to ensnare young persons of both sexes, but more particularly females, which has come under my notice during many years experience in public life; A few days ago, an advertisement appeared in a country journal— and I perceive it is in several of the provincial papers— inviting all persons who wish to be married, but had not succeeded in winning partners, to apply for an infallible recipe to a party whose London address was given in the advertisement. This valuable advice was offered for the small price 'of 13d. in postage stamps. A party in this town was so foolish as to spend 13d. on this adventure, and received in ieply an envelope enclosing a pamphlet of seven pages, of the size of children's halfpenny books, and a note written on both sides of a rough scrap of paper about four inches square. The M.S. (which I send for your inspection) read thus : " Madam,--I inclose you my pamphlet, and should you de sire to consult me further, a fee of one shilling and a stamp is expected, and if you will state your age, appearance, and cir cumstances, with the style of gentleman you desire, all can be arranged with the utmost delicacy and secrecy; and, if guided by me, I shall guarantee you a handsome husband in a very short time, possessing all the qualities your heart can desire. At present I have numbers of officers, merchants, and gentle men of fortune ; and marriages of the most promising charac ter occur almost daily, through my assistance. Success is certain. Do not, therefore, allow a little modesty to sacrifice your future prospects. I intend to remove, but you can see my address in the papers. Yours, &c. 66 * e ******." The pamphlet,.atnongst other things, informs the reader that " both ladies and gentlemen seal their own misery by an over-due deference to the cold formalities of society, ' and " all that is required to remedy this, is some extensive mode of introduction between the sexes, and then, mar riage will follow as a matter of course." The pamphleteer adds—" Experience has proved to me that advertising is infallible in effecting a marriage under any circumstances, and whether it be ladies or gentlemen, they will find hun dreds of the highest respectability ready to respond to the invitation, in every way suited to their tastes, and whom they could love with all the fondness of human affection." Again—" Having great experience in these matters, I shall be happy to advise with any lady or gentleman, in town or country, on any difficult point, draw up advertisements, get it inserted ; arrange for an address in town, and their letters, by which the nicest secrecy can be preserved." This migratory " Professor"—for the party assumes that dignified title—in his closing paragraph says—" Ladies and gentlemen * * who cannot find a partner suitable to their tastes and circumstances, should immediately place themselves under my guidance, and they will be amply rewarded for the confidence reposed." No doubt they will, but a fear that some—however mad the experi ment—will place themselves under such dangerous gui dance, and a desire to warn my fellow-countrymen and countrywomen of the abyss of misery into which they may fall, as did the victim of the Red-house Barn a few years ago, by answering a matrimonial advertisement, must be the apology for this intrusion. AGRICULTURAL PROSPFCTS. From a friend, who has just returned from a fortnight's tour through the midland counties and the north of Eng land, undertaken with a view to ascertain the condition of the agricultural community, and the prospects of the forthcoming harvest, we have received some information which may be interesting to our readers. Throughout the whole of the district visited the crops of every description exhibit the most healthy and promising appearance. Un til the recent seasonable weather set in, the opinion was generally entertained that the harvest, although promising well as to abundance, would be at the least a fortnight later than usual. The extraordinary impulse, however, which has been given to vegetation during the last thre e weeks has materially altered the state of affairs. The anticipated lateness of a fortnight has diminished to a week, or four or five days in many cases ; and the proba bility is admitted that a harvest to be reaped in ordinary season may be expected. It is a fact worthy of mention—and indeed most impor tant—that there has seldom been, in the districts visited, a larger share of wheat and other grain unthrashed in the barnyards. Every farmer, who conld afford to hold, has kept his stock back from the market, in the hope of rea lizing, ultimately, better prices; whilst every other de scription of produce has been pressed forward to market, in order to meet claims for rent, &c. Sheep shearing was going on at a rapid rate, and the clip was being forwarded to market for immediate sale. Indeed, a stand was being made against the marketing of grain, the produce which farmers principally rely upon as the index of their pros perity or adversity •, and every available shift was being made to avoid its being forced out of the hands of the growers. This feeling has been greatly promoted by the vaticinations of the free traders that prices had reached the lowest point, and that higher rates might be expected ; to realize which it is well known in mercantile circles that free trade capitalists went, a few weeks ago,..ther frooly into the markets as purchasers on speculation—with what bpernotfitian our warehouses.bleresultwekn from their stocks lying at pre- Complaints of depressed times, our friend found to be universally prevalent ; and the fact was generally admitted that rent was only able to be paid out of capital. The few free traders even to be found amongst the landowning and farming class are in desponding and wondering plight at the result of the experiment, which they expressed their confidence in being able to sustain ; and many have wholly changed their views upon the subject. Of a nobleman in Lincolnshire—well-known for his ardent advocacy of free trade, and his railway enterprise--we have most pitiable accounts. His lordship is represented as bearing himself, under his present combined inflictions, like anything but " patience on a monument." In the agricultural towns our friend found every evi dence to corroborate the distress which we have described as existing amongst the farming class. Shopkeepers' stocks were lying on hand, with no demand, and dete riorating by going out of season. The expenditure of the agricultural class was felt by every interest depending upon them to be rapidly and grievously diminishing. And, what is more, that class was being made to feel, even in the interior of the country, the disastrous effects of that competition with the foreign grower, to which we in the immediate seat of importation have long been submitted. In the town of Derby, the centre of an agricultural dis trict, the most extensive shop our informant met with sold exclusively American provisions —hams, bacon, lard, &c.—cured and forwarded, as the occupier candidly in formed him, by " his relatives in the United Stales, CORRESPONDENCE. -*- THE TUBULAR BRIDGE.-HOW TO RAISE THE MONEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, was struck by the importance of the suggestion thrown out by Mr. Bancks, in your last, showing how the Guernsey market was built, by means of paper money, as it may be said, for nothing—at least nothing but the labour of the artificers employed. I was the more struck by this, as being over here (Beaumaris), to see the floating of the great tube at the Britannia Bridge; the pecuniary embarrassment of the railway company, and the heavy loss they are destined to endure by the completion of this great work, which is to every Englishman a matter of so much national pride, caused me considerable concern, as it must every man who gives the matter a thought. I asked myself, why should not Government issue three hundred thou sand one pound notes, which should be, on the face of them, declared LEGAL TENDER in payment of taxes due to go vernment, and also in liquidation of all money obligations between debtor and creditor, in private transactions, and thus relieve the Company from a most serious' burden. No bullionist can aver that £300,000 would inflate prices over the whole country; and the experiment of issuing a paper money—which the one-pound notes issued suddenly and without notice, in 1825, shew may be done- without the least suspicion of doubt—would be tested, and afford an example for future trials in the same direction. Whilst on the subject, I must express my concern that the CURRENCY aspect of the PROTECTION questionos posed to FREE TRADE, was kept so much in the back ground by the speakers in your great meeting at the Am phitheatre last Thursday. Unless Proteotion is linked indissolubly with the question of- money, no progress can be made, and the Protectionists are committing the same error as the Free-traders—that of legislating for PRICE, and leaving out of consideration MONEY. I am, air, &c. J. 11. Beaumaris, 13th June, 1850. THE CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY. TO - THE EDITOR OF SAUNDERS'S NEWS-LETTER. SlR, — Observing in your paper of this dq a report of the proceedings of the select vestry in Xverpool with reference to the influx of Irish pau i p s r; and some mis statements therein w hi c h convey an • pression unfavour able to this company, and which should he contradicted, I have to request your insertionpf the following : In those proceedings it is sgted that, although steam boat companies brought owe the poor Irish at the low rate of 4d. a head, they refused to take them back for less than 55. a head. In reply I have to say that this state ment is quite unfounded, as far as the Dublin Steam Company is concerned, as they have never in any instance refused to take deck passengers back to Dublin at the current rate of the'day, which is no more than 2s. each, generally at a looker rate, and sometimes even so low as 3d., in conseqfience of the opposition now carried on against them., Again, infhose proceedings, and in reference to the large number of deck passengers carried beyond what they are allowe to do under the regulations of the Board of Trade, it s stated that in one instance this company's vessel, tl Birmingham, of 2 2 3 tons register, on Sunday, the 9th ' stant, brought 350 deck passengers from Dublin, and the this exceeded the number she was allowed to carry. ;This also is erroneous ; the fact is, that the Bir mingham left this port on Saturday, the Bth, in company with one or two other of the company's vessels, and that the entire number of tickets sold for that day was 320, and which number was divided between the three vessels. Isn anxious it should be known that this company have strictly adhered to the regulations of the Board of Trade.—l am, sir, yours truly, P. HOWELL, Secretary. 15, Eden quay, Junel4th, 1830.
