Voctrp. THE SUN TO THE EARTH, ON THE DAWN OF MORNING. BY THOMAS RAGG. Rejoice! rejoice! let the valleys laugh, Let the maintains sm►le, and the hills look gay, And flowers lift their heads as they fondly quaff The beams of the bright returning day, I come! I come in my splendor now, I come ! I come with my gladdening ray, Driving the shades of the uight away. Rejoice! rejoice! let the rolling streams Put forth their song to the morning breeze, Reflecting abroad my brilliant beams In forms like the dreamer's phantasies. I come! I come on the wings of love, Let all to meet my embraces move ; I come, I come on the wings of day, To chase the shades of the night away. Rejoice ! rejoice! let the woodlands ring With music's sweetest, gladdest sound; Let the ►ark ascend on delighted wing, And tells his joy to the heavens around. I come! I come! let the glad sound spread, And wake the drone from his drowsy bed, As my pioneer, the twilight gray, Scatters the shades of the night away. Rejoice! rejoice! let each waking eye Be gladly turned to the Eastern sphere, And every heart be filled with joy, To see my beams of brilliance near. I come! I come! let all rejoice, And wake the song with a cheerful voice; I come! I come with a flood of day. To sweep the shades of the night away. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. ANNIVERSARY DINNER OF THE TRADESMEN'S CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY AT LIVERPOOL. (Front the Dublin Evening Mail.) In our last page will be found an ample report of the proceedings on the forementioned glorious occa sion. They were truly spirited, and present to the persecuted Protestants of Ireland a refuge and pledge of protection in the strong hands and warm hearts of their British brethren—their brethren by descent of blood as well as in community of civil and religious principles. The terms in which the eloquent and Rev. Rector Campbell described the Church of England and her institutions go direct to the heart. She is, in truth, "the democratic element of the old British con stitution—the connecting link between the cottage and the throne." What unhallowed hand shall dare to se ver bonds so holy ? 'rhe speeches of Lord Sandon and his conservative colleague, Mr. Cresswell Cresswell, are animated by the noblest spirit of national liberty and pure religion : nor will our fellow-citizens of Dub lin, or the conservatives of Ireland in general, consi der as the least gratifying part of this entertainment the compliment paid to themselves, their country, and their cause, by the invitation given to our late esti mable representative, Mr. West, to partake in the pro ceedings of this important anniversary. The speech of Mr. West in returning thanks for that and the high honour with which the announcement of his health was received, is marked with the good taste, high feeling, polished eloquence, and energetic sentiment which characterise his oratory. Altogether the meeting was as consolatory to Irish Protestants, as it is honourable to the spirit and prin ciples of the honest, industrious, and intelligent arti ficers of the great emporium of British commerce. The eloquence of the chairman presents a most fa vourable and gratifying specimen of what that class of persons is in England—men who are not ashamed of being in trade, and are resolved to protect that pro perty acquired by honest industry. THE DINING-OUT PREMIER (From the Spectator.) Some idea of the importance of the news from Canada may be gathered from the following communication in the Cuurt Circular : "Viscount Melbourne arrived in town at twelve o'clock yesterday, from Windsor Castle. His lordship visited Lord Glenelg at his residence in Great George-street." But the ease and despatch with which the vigorous Pre mier gets through the most important affairs, also appears from the concluding sentence of the same paragraph— " The noble Viscount left town at half-past four o'clock, on his return to Windsor Castle." Three hours and a half were quite sufficient for the Cana dian matter; and at the royal dinner-table, Melbourne, "The nation's great support," again appeared, no doubt as placid and insinuating as ever. It is not credible that he lost a minute of the customary evening nap, in which he indulges himself at Windsor, as elsewhere. A CONSTANT GUEST.—Up to the 31st January Lord Mel bourne had dined at, her Majesty's table upwards of one hundred times ! Since that period he has been her guest a somewhat equal number of times, until the latter end of Au gust, when h►s lordship took up his residence altogether at Windsor Castle, where he still remains. —Aye. SAUCE FOR GOOSE, SAUCE FOR GANDER. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) The Morning Chronicle is justly proud of its consistency, and although we differ from the views of that journal, we must allow that these views preserve a rare uniformity among themselves. In the eye of the Chronicle the cases of Ireland and Canada have been held to be exactly parallel. Its prin ciple as regards these two portions of the empire has in variably been Pros 'l'yruisque nihi nullo discrimine habeter, We cannot therefore be accused of doing violence to the opinions of our consistent cotemporary in substituting Ire land for Canada in the following exposition of liberal policy towards the latter country. LIBERAL POLICY TOWARDS CANADA (IRELAND.) (From the Morning Chronicle.) " The nationality of the French Canadians (Irish Papists) must be destroyed. Why cannot we take a chapter out of the book of the Americans? When Louisiana was handed over to them by Buonaparte, the population was wholly French, and the French language and laws were only known. In a few years Jonathan succeeded in making New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana completely American. But the spirit of imbecility seems to have taken possession of the schoolboy statesman in whose keeping were the desti nies of the empire. The Amerkans were bound by all manner of stipulations to the people of Louisiana, and yet they have made them completely American—while we, with the most unlimited powers over the Canadians (Irish), whom we conquered, have done all that we possibly could to pre vent their amalgamation with the British settleis, and have succeeded in putting it into their heads that by keeping them selves separate, they may become a great and independent nation. We must listen to the dictates of common sense. The time is now come for deciding whether we will fairly abandon Canada (Ireland), or make it thoroughly a British colony. Persons and properties Must be protected; but the F rench Canadians (Irish papists) must be prevented from oppressing the British settlers, who ought to be secured in the enjoyinet:t of their properties, and exercise of their industry." Truly, we are not surprised at Mr. O'Counell's want of sympathy with the English Radicals. A CABINET QUESTION. ( From the Dublin Evening Mail.) When Lord John Russell visited Dublin, he was Ciceronied to all the lions by our Marquizzical Viceroy. As the noble lords were one day inspecting the Richmond Lunatic Asy lum, the Marquis thought proper to introduce his friend to one of the female patients, with whom, on former visits, he had much agreeable conversation. " Madam," said the Marquiz. "permit me to present to you Lord John Russell." " Lord John Russell !" said the lady, eyeing the little states man with the most sover ei g n contempt, " Pray, when did you hear from Dan ?" saying which she turned her back upon both their lordships, and walked away; leaving them to " ch the cud of sweet and bitter fancies" over the d e - batable ew question —Why Cassandra was reckoned a mad woman ? THE CABINET QUESTION. DONE INTO METRE BY A PR. DEV. OF THE DUB. EV. MAIL. AIR—"So Miss Myrtle is going to be married!" Her Vice, who the Queen Mar-quizzed, And Johnny—her Cabinet-man— • Paid the lunatic lady a visit, And thus the dialogue ran— " This, Madam, is Lord John Russell" — Lord Johnny his bowing began, When the lady, turning her bustle, Cried, " When did you hear, from Dan? When the lady, turning her bustle, Cried, " When did you hear front Dan? Well, wasn't it a comical question As ever in crazy pate ran, And of most dyspeptic digestion For the stomach of cabinet man ? Yet 'tis natural that sight of Whig minister (On the ass-ociational plan) Should suggest the inquiry so sinister, " When did you hear from Dan?" Should suggest the inquiry so sinister, " When did you hear from Dan ?" " In madness," says Shakspeare, "there's method ;" Nat. Lee says " there's happiness" too; And this hint at the cross-bones and death head Is a compliment happy as new. For ourselves we puzzle our wits, Sir, As " Inen did you hear from Dan 1" For ever—nor make such a hit, Sir, As " When did you hear from Dan?" Men never now think of the Cabinet— Melbourne, or Lansdowne, or Rice— Without thinking of Her in the Cabinet, Who touched off their picture so nice; And in lieu of the popular phrases So current between man and man, The favourite cant of our days is, " Pray, when did you hear from Dan 7" ' The favourite cant of our days is, " Pray, when did you hear from Dan?" A letter from Tampico, published in the Indicateur de Bordeaux, gives a list of the number of vessels which have come into Mexican ports in despite of the French blockade. Pony entered Alvaredo, five at Tecoluta. t wo at Barra Ciego, one at Matamoros, and lately the Waterwitch from Liverpool. HORRHILKEFFECTS OF JEALOUSY AND WHISKEY DRINK . • ists.--.4n unfortunate man, named Netherct)te, and his wife, who have been some months past residing in this town, had a falling out a few evenings.since, when the husband in a fit of jealousy stabbed her in three different places with a sharp table knife. Two of the stabs were in her breast, and the third, which was aimed at her side, would undoubtedly have been fatal, but that, fortunately, the direction of the blade of the knife was turned and prevented from entering any vital part by striking against her hip bone.

We have arrived at the examination of one of the most important, but at the same time perhaps the most compli cated instance of the formation of an useful art on chemical principles. The examination of the circumstances under which we are enabled to fix colouring matter upon calicoes, s and the ordinary textures which we- fear, we shall find to bring us to the most beautiful results which chemical exami jiatiorkjuspointed out to 115. But.we shall find, at the same time, that allhough considerable acivances have beeir Made in the application of chemistry to these arts, yet many disco veries of great importance remain to be made; and we may look forward to great improvements, when those engaged in the pursuit of them shall have devoted themselves to the pur suit of chemical theory. ' Generally speaking, we-shall consider the theory of fixing colours upon woven fabrics as being the same. It must de pend, as all chemical actions depend, upon the existence of an affinity between the two substances: there must be a dis tinct alliance between them, so that they may remain in combination. The degree of permanence which the colour must possess will depend upon the strength of this union. If the affinity be strong, the colour will be permanent; but if it be weak, the tendency to remain united will not be so perfect, and the colour will lose its brilliancy, and if it comes into contact with soap, it will be completely decomposed. In consequence, we have colours which are termed fugitive, in opposition to those which are termed fixed. The instances in which the fibre of the cloth has a direct tendency to unite with the dyeing matters, are very few; and it is necessary to make use of some intermediate substance, which has an affinity for the fibre of the cloth and the colouring matter. In such instances the intermediate substance is termed a mordant, and the whole difficulty of the dyeing depends upon these mordants, which are different for different colours and different shades; and the soldering, therefore, of the colouring matter - makes the case more complicated than the simple process of dyeing would be. The majority of the colouring matters are vegetable, or derived from the vegetable king dom; and in the majority of cases it is necessary to m a k e use of mordants. The fibres of cloth have a tendency to unite with metallic oxides. Wherever a vegetable colouring mat ter is to be made use of. we have to employ a mordant,-and this moidant is invariably a metallic oxide. The fibres of cloth have a remarkable tendency to unite with the oxide of iron, so much so that they will withdraw it from the solution of any of its salts, and leave the acid behind. This is the case with iron mould, which is the simple dyeing of any article with oxide of iron. The oxide of iron fixed upon a cloth gives rise, according to the degree of intensity, to the different shades of buff. If I dip a piece of cotton cloth into a solution of nitrate of iron, it will come out of a buff colour; but the colour is not completely fixed upon the cloth, for the oxide of iron would still remain to a considerable extent united to nitric acid, and if the cloth were washed the great mass of the colouring matter would wash away. In order to fix the iron permanently upon the cloth, it is only neces sary to take some potash, or any other base, and we get a deep buff, so that, however we wash it in water, there will be no colouring matter removed. The oxide of iron is itself a mordant, and not only unites with the fibres of the cloth without the aid of any intermediate substance, but is itself the bond of union between these fibres and other colouring matters. In addition to the oxide of iron, I might bring before you similar experiments with respect to the oxides of alumina, the oxides of lead, and other mineral agents; but in those cases where the cloth is saturated with these oxides, the oxides themselves being white, the cloth is not dyed. The oxide of iron being brown, gives those shades which are intermediate between the lightest buff and a dark brown. It is easy to shew the manner in which the oxide of iron may become a mordant. It is only necessary to take any one vegetable colouring matter whatever, — for example, a little of the infusion of galls,—and if we im merse the cloth in it which has been coloured brown by the oxide of iron, it will be turned completely black. One of the most remarkable applications of iron as a mordant, con sists in the developement of a beautiful blue colour, which is of vegetable origin, namely, prussian blue. ILI order to ge nerate it, we have only to add ferroprussic acid to the oxide of iron. This is effected by ferroprussiate of potash, some oil of vitriol being added to neutralize the potash. The cloth being first dyed brown in the oxide of iron, is changed into the intensely deep blue upon immersion into this liquor, and the colour is tolerably fixed upon the cloth. It is not abso lutely fixed, but it is nearly so, and is accordingly used on ordinary occasions. In this manner, what is called Naples blue is produced upon silk, and a great variety of patterns are printed with it upon cotton goods. There is an instance of a still more remarkable character. We have here a piece of cloth, prepared as cloths are for printing, with oxide of iron in the state of a paste, by means of flour and gum, and this paste having a certain degree of tenacity when stamped upon the cloth, it has no tendency to run upon the cloth, and the pattern is perfectly correct. By immersing the cloth in ferro prussiate of potash, the Prussian blue will not be generated upon any other part but where the prepared iron was stamped. In the majority of cases where you observe a beautiful deep blue upon cloth, it has been produced by this means. I look upon the formation of Prussian blue in this instance as an example of the combination of an article of mineral origin with one of animal. A very beautiful colour is generated by the union of oxide of lead with chromic acid. The principle of dyeing by chromate of potash, consists in the generation of certain insoluble salts by means of chromic acid. Chromic acid unites with many of the metallic oxides, and forms salts which are insoluble in water. Thus, if we take the solution of a salt of lead, and add to it a solution of chromate of pot ash, the result will be the production of a yellow precipitate, of an exceedingly beautiful appearance. In the majority of cases, where a fixed yellow is to be dyed, it is done by the precipitation of the chromate of lead upon the fibres of the cloth. The cloth is first impregnated in the oxide of lead, and then immersed in a solution of chromate of potash, by which we obtain a canary yellow, of an exceedingly bright appearance. By the use of paste we can, in the same man ner as in the instance of Prussiau blue, cause any pattern to be printed upon cloth with the chromate of lead. The chro mic acid is not merely useful in this preparation, but it may be employed to produce another very remarkable colour upon cloth. In addition to this, which is called the natural chro mate of lead, there is a chromate of lead which contains only half the quantity of chromic acid, which is called a subchro mate of lead. When it is precipitated upon cloth, it pro duces an orange colour, and produces one of the most beauti ful colours of this kind which is used in the arts. In order to produce this orange chrome, or the subchromate of lead, the best method is to take the chromate of potash, and to add an excess of alkali. In this way the cloth is impregnated with potash in excess. By then placing it in a hot solution of lead, there is chromate of lead formed ; but in consequence of there being a great excess of potash, we have not merely the yellow oxide, but a proportion of the red chromate, and the two mixed together, give the different shades of orange, which may be made by the manufacturer as be wishes. In order to get a deeper shade of orange, we can get it by add ing more and more of the alkali, provided we do not add too much, so as to destroy the colour altogether. The more we use any article dyed in this manner, the more they will ap proach a red. A very beautiful case of the application of the metallic oxide to cloths as the colouring matter, in which the metallic oxide is itself the colouring material, is exem plified in the metal manganese. I have already pointed out the exceeding similarity between the salts of manganese and the salts of iron. Manganese possesses the property of combining with oxygen in different proportions ; the first oxide being white in a hydrated condition, and by com bining with acid, will give colourless solutions. if I add to one of these colourless solutions a little potash, the manganese is precipitated as a powder, a hich is at the first perfectly white, but the protoxide of manganese basso power ful an affinity for oxygen as to extract a quantity front the air, when it assumes a brownish colour, and if we supply it with any substance capable of giving oxygen to it, the brown colour will be still more deepened. Thus if we take some of the chloride of lime, and add it to a solution of the protoxide of manganese, the solution will become a deep brown. This action of chloride of lime is very peculiar. We have already had to describe chlorine and the chlorine of lime as bleaching materials, and now we find them to act in an opposite way. The principle of action is, however, the same in both in • stances, chlorine giving oxygen by the decomposition of water. It is in this way that the manganese bronzes as they are called are generated in the arts. The oxide of manganese being thus of a dark bronze colour you will understand how, when it is mixed with the cotton fibre, it gives the cotton a shade similar to bronze. If I take a little of the colourless solution of manganese and immerse a piece of white cloth into it, the cloth will absorb a certain portion of the solution. By immersing the cloth in the chloride of lime, which always contains an excess of lime, the lime precipitates the oxide of manganese, which, coming into contact with the chlorine, is immediately raised to its highest degree of oxydation, so that the cloth, which was before white, is brought to a bronze brown condition. Manganese gives to us a complete de velopement of the theory of bleaching. It is colourless at its least point of oxygenation, and coloured at its highest. If we put it into contact with a substance which has a greater affinity for oxygen than itself, it will take the oxygen from it and bleach it. If we add a little of the protochlotide of tin, which has a powerful affinity for oxygen to the peroxide of manganese, the colour is immediately discharged. Not merely are we enabled to do this by means of the solution, but if we take a piece of cloth which has been bronzed by the manganese, and put it into the peroxide of tin, the cloth is immediately bleached,—the manganese being reduced from the state of the peroxide to the state of protoxide. We are thus enabled to bleach manganese by a solution of tin. This property of tin in bleaching the solution of manganese is made use of iu calico printing in a very ingenious way. When a cloth dyed brown with manganese is to have a pat tern of white or of any other colour printed upon it, the cloth is universally dyed brown in the first instance. The solution of tin is mixed up into a paste, and with this mixture the pattern is blocked in every place where the tin comes into contact, the colour is discharged, and left perfectly white for the application of other colours, if necessary. We arc not yet able to print with madder locally, the aiticle to be co loured requiring to be dyed in a madder bath, and we are therefore obliged to remove the madder red after the article has been dyed in order to print upon the cloth. This is a very important and complicated process, so much so, that the discovery of any means of printing direct with madder would be of the utmost value in the arts. The mode in which it is effected is by blocking any pattern upon white calico with a solution of tartaric or oxalic acid made into a paste with flour, and then dying the calico entirely in madders. The calico is then immersed in a solution of chloride of lime, when the acid combines with the lime, and the chlorine discharges the madder red from those portions of the cloth only where the block had been applied, leaving the remainder untouched. It is .worthy of remark that chloride of lime alone possesses no bleaching properties, and only bleaches by contact with acid. The colouring matters derived from the vegetable kingdom are exceedingly numerous. We may, however, reduce them to the three prismatic colours, for we shall find that where the wood or colouring matter gives rise to different shades, it is owing to the existence of more than one colouring mat ter ; and it is the union of these different colouring matters which give different results. I shall therefore consider them tinder the head of red, yellow, and blue colours, which exist in considerable numbers. One of the most useful, perhaps, is that which is procured by means of the weil-known Persian or Turkey berries. These contain a peculiar yellow colouring matter, of a somewhat resinous nature, which, when treated with an alkaline solution gives a deep yellow liquor. Like all yellow colouring matters of vegetable origin it is turned brown by the alkali • but it we take a small quantity of the acid and add it to the alkali, the acid neutralizes the alkali, and according as it does so, provided the acid be not used in too much excess, the yellow colouring principle is strikingly developed. The most important means of fixing the colour ing principle of the Persian bet ry on cloth is by means of tin, and it is easy to ascertain the method in which this is dune. If I take a little of the alkaline liquor, develope the colouring principle by acid, and add to it the solution of tin, we get a pure yellow precipitate, which is the substance which is ge nerated on the surface of the cloth when we make use of the tin mordant in calico printing, which is a colour of extreme beauty. A very excellent colour is given by means of the acetate of lead, which has not yet been applied. There is a fact connected with the use of Persian berries with which it is important that you should be rendered familiar. This berry is what is termed in the art a steam colour, that is, it requires a very high temperature to bring it out, is of a beau tiful character. If you take some of the solution of the . yellow berries and plunge into it a cloth which is saturated with the solution of alumina, we shall find that the cloth will be dyed in a combination of the alumina with the colouring principle of the berries. The alumina is a mordant, and one of the most valuable which the printer has for affixing vegetable dyes. Before leaving the constitution of the yellow principle of the Persian berry, I shall notice the production upon cloth of the same yellow lake which we have formed by means of tin. The{-yellosv.colour formed by the tin is much finer and deeper than that produced by the alumina. A yellow colouring matter which is very extensively used, not so inuch•for the purpose of producing fine yellows as for the production of an olive yellow and pure olive, is the quercitron bark of com merce. It is shaved down into small shreds, and an infusion of it made which is an amber-coloured liquor, which, when mixed with acetate of alumina, gives a dull yellow precipi tate, not so beautiful as that prepared from the Persian berry. By taking a portion of the cloth which contains alumina, and immersing it in a bath of quercitron bark, it will assume a yellow character somewhat more permanent than that pro duced by Persian berries, but not so bright. If I take a salt of iron, and add it to the qtiercitron bark, it immediately gives a very rich olive-coloured liquor. If I immerse a piece of cloth impregnated with the oxide of iron in a solution of quercitron bark, we shall immediately find that the yellow colour of the oxide of iron is converted into a very deep olive. The red colouring matteri - Areti — ir will be necessary to examine, will be of a simple nature. The most important is madder, which is of an exceedingly complicated constitu tion. It contains half a dozen different colouring principles, of different shades. There are the red, the yellow, and the orange principles, all mixed together with such a powerful attraction for each other, that the extraction of the pure red principle is a very difficult process. Th€ yellow-coloured principle is that which leaves the madder easily, and is that which overpowers the others; so that when the cloth is first dyed. it makes it appear a reddish orange. The object of the manufacturer is to. rid the madder of all these impurities. The peach-wood presents us with a red of as good an appear ance, but much less fixed, and therefore of less value, than the madder. It gives us an infusion of a dark-brown colour. When the infusion of peach-wood is mixed wi th the alu m ina mordant, there is formed a precipitate; but at the same time the liquor, which had been an impure brownish red, assumes a very beautiful wine-red colour. We get a pink from it, but the pink is fugitive. Acetate of alumina is prepared by mixing together alum and acetate of lead. Alum consists of sulphate of alumina and potash. When the acetate of lead is added, the sulphate of alumina is decomposed, as well as the acetate of lead; so that we get acetate of alumina with sulphate of alumina, and the lead takes into com bination three-quarters of the sulphuric acid. 'Fhe peach wood liquor gives a more beautiful red colour with a solution of tin than with one of alumina; indeed, the finest colours in commerce arise from combinations of oxide of tin with some colouring matter. By means of ammonia and tin we can dye two shades of colour with peach wood. The peach wood is likewise used to dye with iron,—we get a purple by this means. Cochineal is a substance which is too expensive to be used in calico printing, but which is used in finer cloths and in dyeing upon silk. In dyeing with cochineal, the mor dant which ismade use of is tin, and upon adding a solution of tin to an infusion of cochineal, we obtain a beautiful red, which is the colouring matter of the cochineal combined with the oxide of tin. Another colouring matter which is used in the dyeing of silk is the safflower, a plant not unlike a thistle. This contains two colouring matters, one of which is yellow, and the other constitutes the rouge of commerce. The saf flower is first washed with water until the yellow colouring matter is removed; and the red matter, which is a resinous substance, is then dissolved in alkali, and then precipitated with nitric acid. We thus get the pink colour by which rouge is very well known. Time will scarcely allow me to go into the blue colours, but luckily, the only organic blue matter is the well known. indigo; for the wood only owes its colour to the small quantity of indigo it contains. Indigo is a substance of a peculiar nature, and we cannot tell the true problem of its chemical constitution. Indigo is soluble in sulphuric acid, and in the manufactures of France and Switzerland it is generally employed, and the acid being neutralized by an alkali, the blue is allowed to deposit itself upon the fibres. Chlorine bleaches indigo by applyiug it with oxygen. it may likewise be coloured by abstracting oxygen from it, for if we add to it a solution of tin and caus tic potash, the potash precipitates protoxide of tin, which, having a powerful affinity for oxygen, takes it from the in digo, leaving it colourless. Dr. Kane then described and illustrated the indigo hot and cold baths; but the subject is too difficult to be reported with any advantage. You will observe, proceeded the lecturer, that although the theory of the combination of colouring matters with cloths, is one of the most important and most interesting subjects of the arts, and although it is strikingly evident that these com binations are essentially of a chemical character, there re mains a wide field to be explored with regard to them, and it is highly incumbent upon those who are engaged in the prac tice of the art to endeavour to improve the different processes. The calico-printer or the dyer is every moment of bis exist ence engaged in solving problems of the most difficult nature in chemistry, and there is an earnest hope that, by the more general scientific education of individuals engaged in these arts, not only will their own interest be promoted, but also that of the community at large. 1 therefore look with great satisfaction at the growing interest which has been shewn in this town with regard to chemical science, since I last had the pleasure of lecturing before you. On that occasion I ad dressed myself to the younger students, and admonished them that the prosperity of this kingdom must depend upon that of the chemical arts. I have had the pleasure to observe that what I then said has not fallen on barren ground, but that the chemical classes here, conducted, as they are, by the ta lented gentleman [John Wilson, Esq.] who is at the head of that department, are in such a flourishing state, that we may look forward to great improvements in chemical science. So far as I am myself concerned, I can only return you my most sincere thanks for the kindness and attention with which you have received me; and whatever advances I may have made in science, 1 think them amply repaid by being selected to address one of the most enlightened audiences, in one of the greatest manufacturing districts in the empire. At the conclusion of the lecture, Dr. Kane was honoured with the most electrical applause, from a crowded audience, which has been for some time heard in the Theatre. Robert Wallis, Esq., delivered his first lecture (of which a full report will appear on Friday) last Wednesday, and, in common with his audience, we were highly delighted. The really simple and lucid inannei of this lecturer, in explaining a difficult subject, is beyond all praise. The subject of his next lecture (to-morrow evening) is highly attractive. A SCENE 'IN COURTSHIP. (DRAWN FROM LIFE.) It was about this time I fell in love, and a remarkably co mic affair it was. Love is, in fact, nothing more than a game at riddles—each party attempting to puzzle the other; and a very pretty amusement it is. I was about nineteen when I first began to play. The first player I met with was apparently a placid; unsophisticated girl, nearly my own age, with a form and features very prepossessing, who lived with her soother and father, and some half-dozen sisters, in a small cottage, about a mile from our house. I met her at a dance, during which she evinced no repugnance to my melancholy features, and, although I went through the figures of several quadrilles like a mummy from the tombs of the Pharaohs, she expressed herself delighted with my animation. This I thought droll; but it was followed by things much more fun ny. Amelia Thomson and I soon became intimate, and I was, in due time, introduced to Amelia's papa, a retired bar rister, who had never had a brief, and Amelia's mamma, a patronizing lady, who wished to be thought a person of some consequence; and Amelia's half-dozen sisters, fine, strap ping girls, with broad shoulders, and a horrible inclination for bread and butter. They were all remarkably civil, for Mr. Thomson tried to bore me to death, by constantly and perpetually describing, at length, his peculiar method of fat tening pigs; Mrs. Thomson attempted to poison me by mak ing me swallow some abominable home-made—wine, she called it, but physic it was; and the seven Miss Thomsons seemed inclined to worry me into a fever, by Urging me to write in their seven different albums. At that time I never could bring myself to refuse any yequest it was possible for me to grant, and I often endured much unnecessary suffer ing, through wanting sufficient resolution to say " No." In this instance, 1 did not escape. The old gentleman was sit ting in an arm chair, in his best wig and coat; the lady of the house reclining, with no inconsiderable assumption of dignity, on the sofa, had placed me by her side; Amelia sat quiet and shy very near me; and her sisters were busily shewing me some beautiful wretched drawings, and charming trashy nonsense, contained in their albums. Some refresh ments had been placed on a circular table, close to the sota. " Pigs, niy dear sir, pigs are more interesting animals than the vulgar.imagine," said the retired barrister; and, as he had repeated the observation at least a dozen times within the last half-hour, of course I assented to his opinion. " I'm astonished, Mr. Thomson, you should talk of those dirty creatures in the best parlour!" observed his spouse, with a look of offended majesty that spoke volumes; and then turning, to me, with a face all of smiles and good na ture, said, "you must take another glass of wine, Mr. Wag. I'm sure you like it, and it is Amelia's own vintage." I have already swallowed, much against my inclination, six glasses of the filthy mixture ; hut, to be told that I liked it, when I would have given auytbiug to have smashed the decanter, and to be informed that it was the "vintage" (0 Jupiter!) of my adored, did not make it more palateable ; however politeness suggested the necessity of putting the re plenished glass to my lips, and then, to mark my feeling to wards the fair manufacturer, I drained the pumper at a draught. " Another glass?" immediately exclaimed Mrs. Thomson, with a look of triumph at her daughters, for which, had I dared, 1 would gladly have choked her. " Isn't - t very nice ? It's called Frontignac, and Amy shall give you the receipt for making it." " It's made of turpentine and aqua fortis, there's no doubt about it," thought I. " How do you like this drawing of a butterfly on a rose ?" mildly inquired Miss Angelica, showing me something on a bit of paper, that I thought resembled, in a remarkable man ner, a toad on a cabbage-stump. " It's nature itself!" I replied. "Amy did it all," cried Miss Augusta. " And Amy did this cottage," said Miss Rosa, handing it for my inspection. The cottage seemed as much like a coal skuttle as anything could be. "And this bird of paradise, too," added Miss I3eliuda ; but if she had called it a Kangaroo, the designation would have been quite as appropriate. " And she can play ' The Battle of Prague' with both hands," exclaimed the youngest, with a sort of wonder that such an accomplishment was. possible. " And as she can make card-racks, and net-purses, and breed silk-worms, and write poetry, and —." "Never mind, Septima, what your sister can do," here in terposed her mamma. " Mr. Wag will find out all her quali ties in time. Amy, my love ! what is the matter with you ? You seem dull," added she, with a very impressive affection. Amy gave a sigh. • " Ah, poor thing; she is so susceptible," said Mrs. Thom son, emphatically. Amy fixed her eyes on a gap in the pepper and salt carpet. I looked as solemn as the Queen Elizabeth, done in worsted, that hung over the mantel-piece. But I was rarely amused. At this interesting period. Amelia's papa, who seemed as if he thought there was nothing in the world so important as his system of fattening pigs, suddenly observed. "Mengel Wurzel gives them the gripes, and —" "Mr. T. 1" exclaimed his dignified spouse, with a look that would have awed an Emperor. "My dear. I was only telling the young Gentleman—" "Enough," replied the lady, with a wave of tier hand, that appeared to extinguish all his piggish notions, for the time; and then, turning to me, in her most insinuating manner, said, " Do take another glass of Frontignac !" This was sufficient. To prevent being completely poisoned I summoned up resolution to look at my watch ; seemed sur prised it was so late, and took a hasty leave of the party. There is something in courtship, which writers on the moral sentiments have not described. It is the most exquisite piece of foolery that life produces, instead of being the serious mat ter that people imagine. Cupid is usually represented blind, but he has only a cast in his eye; and all his worshippers are marked by a similar obliquity of vision. It cannot be denied that love squints, for no lover looks at his mistress in a straightforward, matter-of-fact manner. Instead of gazing on her, his eyes are on the heavens, and he thinks of angels; and she, instead of observing him. has her vision taken up with the principal character in her favorite rorrafnce, and sees a hero. The insight 1 had gained into the nature of the ludi crous, made me regard things in a less round-about fashion than is usual with lovers; and, though I certainly felt a plea sure in observing the signs by which my adored was conti nually evincing her kind feelings towards me, is was one that, had I possessed the use of the risible muscles, must have ended in laughter. I had heard, in confidence, from her mamma, who never let slip an opportunity of praising Amelia to me, as possessing all the cardinal virtues, and all her own virtues as well, that the young lady, from feelings of pure benevolence, meekness, and charity, had voluntarily become a gratuitous teacher in the village Sunday-school, and devoted all her leisure hours to the task of instructing the young ideas of the juvenile po pulation of the neighbourhood. On the earliest occasion I bent my steps towards the scimpl, and was on the point of en tering the room, when I heard an angry voice in loud alter cation, mingled with a sort of convulsive sobbing, that seemed to proceed from a child. I stopped to listen, and heard the following dialogue: "C-a-t," muttered one of the scholars, with a whimper be tween every . letter.. Weill and iv/lit:46es e,a-t spell, you stupid little hussy , ?" fiercely inquired her inittuctress. "Say it, this - minute, Miss, or I'll'beat you black and blue," "C-a-t," repeated the child more slowly, but with sobs in creasing in loudness. " You obstinate little slut! You're enough to provoke a saint, you are! and if I hadn't the patience of Job, and the mildness of an angel, I should nut attempt to enlighten your wretched ignorance." Then, giving the pupil a shake, which increased the sobbing to a roar, the other cried out, " Tell me what it does spell, or I'll give you such a box on the ear." With a convulsive effort, the girl endeavoured to make her answer audible, amid her lachyrinose outcry, and said, " Puss —puss—puss—pussy ! I heard a blow follow the unfortunate reply, that I thought would have finally settled the education of the young student ; but it only elicited a scream, which sets description at " Stop that blubbering, this instant ! or I'll give you some thing to cry for," said the teacher, sharply. " But it is all for your good, you ungrateful jade ! 'Am I not striving all I can do, to make you happy ? There, take that, and go into the corner," and another spanker was followed by another scream "come and say "Tommy Tucker," cried the same voice, your reading lesson." In a few moments, I distinguished the following words, re peated in a tone, and in a manner, which I can only describe by saying, that the smaller words were given in a high tone, with pauses of various lengths' between, and the longer or more difficult words fell rather more than au octave lower ; the single letters denote an attempt at spelling : " A wise—son —ma, make, maketh a—glad—f a-t—fat— h-e-r—fat—her—" " Father, you dunce !" " Father;--but a—foo-fool-foolish son—is—the—h.e-a— hea—" " He, you blockhead " He—v-i—heavi—n-e—double s—ness—" Here there was a pause. " Well, what does that spell, dolt ?'' cried the teacher. " Heavenliness—" A box on the ear, made the unfortunate Tommy Tucker cry out. " Heaviness, you stupid little fool !" exclaimed his instruc- tress. " Heaviness!" repeated the boy, rather sotto voce : but here an interruption took place, by a girl crying out : " Please, Governess, Billy Snipes—" " I'm sure I didn't !" said the boy, instantly.. " NV hat has Billy Snipes done ?" inquired their Governess. " He's been a pinchin, of me." " Peggy 'Wobble pricked me with her needle, first! said the other ; and he began to wimper. grti. " You plagues, 11l give it you! and you, Jonny Bolter, you're playing at tit-tat-tow with Bobby Bricks, instead of doing your sums; you good-for-nothing, wicked wretches !" Hearing a rapid succession of blows, I thought my appea rance might .afford some relief to the little innocents, so I pushed the door open, and entered the school-room : and there, to my surprise, beheld my mild, my gentle, meek, and amiable Amelia, wacking away, with all her might. among a parcel of juveniles, not much bigger than a sixpenny-worth of half-pence ; while Billy Snipes, and Peggy Wobble, and Jonny Bolter, and Bobby Bricks, were in full chorus, shrink ing from the punishment. She was so intently engaged in the " Delightful task, to rear the tender thougt !" that I, for some moments, remained unperceived by her; at last, her face, all flushed with passion, was turned towards me, as her vigorous arm was raised to inflict its vengeance on another victim; and, as she beheld me, in a moment her countenance became as gentle as ever, her uplifted arm was stretched out to shake hands, and, in her usual mild accents, she said— "A h ! Mr. Wag, lam glad you are come to assist me in the charming employment of instructing these little dears." Calling the next day at the house, the door was opened by a servant in livery, whom I had not noticed before. " Be you the gemman what conies arter Miss Melia? 'cause if you be, Missus told me to show you into the garden. Mas ter's in the pig-stye, and Missus and the young ladies be a studying buttonry, I think they calls it, in the iughun bed." I satisfied the matter-of-fact footman that I was the person he imagined, and was directed to the garden, through which I walked, without seeing any one, until I came to a suit of Summer-house, painted green, and furnished with a variety of execrable drawings,' (doubtless the production of the seven talented Miss Thomsons,) seats and a table. I had partly closed the door, on entering, and was amusing myself, by examinining the daubs on the walls, when Cheard voices approaching. " Mr. 'Wag is a very serious young man , my dear," said Mrs. Thompson, " and I have no doubt, he will be much gratified by knowing that you have become a teacher of the Sunday-school." " But it is so very annoying, mamma; the children are worse than brutes," replied my gentle Amelia. "Never mind, my love, if it procures you a husband, and one so respectable." " I think he is the most stupid young man I ever saw," remarked my affectionate Amelia. "That is not the slightest consequence, child—consider what an estate his father has." " I wish I had Amy's chance," cried Miss Augusta,—" I would not care if be was an idiot." " Nor 1," exclaimed Miss Rosa, emphatically. " Nor 1," repeated Miss Belinda, in a similar manner. "Nor I," echoed the others. "You are quite right," girls, observed the matron; and I am sorry to see your sister so little alive to her own interests; I am afraid she is still thinking of Mr. Bleedem's assistant." "Fredertck Aloes is very handsome," said my devoted Amelia. "But Frederick Aloes is a beggar, you foolish girl," re plied mamma." "And Mr. Bleedem told me that he had only twenty pounds a-year, and finds his own tea and sugar," remarked Miss Augusta, disdainfully. "Never you mind, Miss," cried my adored, with some as perity, " he is a gentleman, and that's more than M. Calico's shopinan is whom you are always running after." ri " I run after the fellow !" exclaimed the other, with more anger than surprise. "But you never could speak the truth ; therefore— " "Come—come, I mus'nt have any quarrrlling," here in terposed mamma; " I hope you have both too much good sense to disgrace your family, by forming alliances so much beneath you. Remember that your father's annuity (lies with him ; and, if you do not wish to be reduced to poverty, you will assist mein securing Amelia so excellent a husband ; and I am sure, our Dear At m, out of gratitude, will provide for us as soon as she's married. 1 shall leave nothing untried to ensure so desirable a match, and none of us must hesitate about trifles, upon such an occasion. Didn't I tell the young Squire that the Frontignac was made by Amelia, when you all know it was bought of old Dame Suivle, at a shilling a bottle; and have'nt I sewed souse yellow cloth round the collar and cuffs of one of your father's old coats, and made John wear it, so that Mr. Wag should think we kept a foot man in livery ? But I expect him here every moment ? so let us all go into the summer-house, or your skins will be freckled by the sun." So saying, she pushed open the door, and the whole party instantly beheld me. The consternation of the Thoinson's was beyond conception. Knowing I must have heard their conversation, and that their designs were now hopeless, they were too much confounded to titter a word ; so, having enjoyed the scene sufficiently, I very gravely made my- bow, and never entered the house of the retired Barrister again. —New Monthly. NARROW ESCAPEOF THE ROYAL TAR STEAMER IN THE BAY OF BISCAY.-It appears that the Roy al 'far underwent some trilling repairs last voyage at Limehouse, and left the river on Friday, the 12th inst., for Lisbon and Gibralter. On reaching the Bay of Biscay she met a heavy sea and stiffish breeze, which strained her to that degree that she was half full of water before the captain and crew were aware of it. if there had not been six pumps to go to work with she must have gone down. There were 65 passengers on board; and 'when it was reported that the ship was sinkinir, the scene of dismay and uproar that ensued baffles description. The pas sengers have landed at Falmouth, there to await the arrival of another steamer. M IR ACULOUS ESCAPE.—On Friday evening, as one of the 1 labourers, named Dawson, employed on the London and Birmingham Railway, was reiurning from the Kilburn sta tion, whither he had gone to receive his wages, he incauti ously walked in the carriage-way. The train with the mail approached, and before the man could reach a place of safety he was caught by the engine and dashed to the road. Those who witnessed the occurrence gave up all hopes of seeing him again alive, and when the train had passed they ran to look at what they supposed to be a mangled corpse:: Much to their surprise, however, Dawson was found to have re ceived no other injury than what proceeded from his contact with the engine. it appeared that he fell immediately in - the centre of the road, and as there is a considerable space be tween the bottom of the carriages and the surfaceot the road, and he contrived to keep one position, he escaped with some severe bruises, and is now doing very well. STAGE COACH ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Satur day a dreadful accident occurred to the light Salisbury coach which o join the Southamp ton railway leaves hurley-row station, oas to go up by the three o'clock train to London. On passing tat Salisbury th e w g a fi t n e l i o d o a ' n c clock, c to down Husband-hill, between Basingstoke and Andover, the bit of one of the horses caught in the hook of the pole, and before the coachman could pull up to put on the break to the wheels, the coach overturned, by which the coachman broke his right arm, and dislocated his shoulder. One passenger, a mechanic, on whose industry his aged father alone depended, was so much hurt that he died the same afternoon; a gentle man also, injured about the head, was taken to his residence at Andover, without the slightest hope of recovery; a young woman had her leg broken, and great doubts are entertained as to her ultimate fate; the other limbs broken, and the Others (except the Rev. Mr. Fowl, of Winchfield) were all more or less bruised. Both leaders were killed on the spot. MURDER OF A MOTHER BY HER DA UGHTER.—A shocking •• 4. murder was committed on Monday last, on the lands of Cam lin, within a mile and a half of Roscrea, on an old woman named Delaney, about 90 years of age, by her own dapghter. It appears that the poor crea ture and her daughter, who is about 45 yea s old, lived together, and that the old woman went into her garden to dig some potatoes. After she re turned into the house, the daughter immediately felled her to the ground with the spade, and so chopped her face and the side of her head as to cause the brains to protrude. The body presented an appearance too shdcking to look upon. A son of the old woman, who lives within a few perches, went down to the house about mid-day, but finding the door locked of his the door; his mother. on the outside, he supposed them t o be out, and returned home, (at this time nothing was kn own of the murder.) 1-le went down again in the evening, and findin g t he door locked h w i h s e suspicions t tbfieignagnfiteo laidarise holdand fh was e the forced l He gave the alarm, and search was made for the unfortunate daughter; who, it appears, was partially suffering under an aberration of intellect for some time before, and was at last found lying in the field, and when questioned as to the horrid crime, she replied that it was "the devil that made her do it." An inquest was held on the body the next day, and the fol lowing verdict returned :—"'rhat the deceased, Elizabeth Delaney, came by her death iu consequence of wounds in flicted on her head by Margaret Delaney, who appears to be insane," — Tipperary Constitution. BRUTAL AND MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—About three o'clock on Sunday morning last, as a number of colliers, in a state of intoxication, were passing along Oldham-road, Rochdale, they were attracted by . a light in a house occupied by a man named Dearden, and immediately began to knock at the door, and demand admittance. On being refused, one of them threw a stone through the window, when Dearden opened the door, and a scuffle ensued; the colliers attempt ing to force themselves into the house. Dearden at last suc ceeded in driving them out, and in shutting the door, when the coat skirts of one of the colliers were caught between the door and the door-post, by which he was kept a -prisoner till one of his companions extracated him by cutting off that part of the coat which was fast. At this time the door opened, when Dearden was stabed twice by one of his assailants in the bowels: and not satisfied with this, the colliers set two dogs which they had with them upon the poor man, to tear and mangle him still worse. An alarm was immediately given ; the constables and police beadles were shortly on the spot ; and four of the colliers, with the two dogs, were secured, and conveyed to the lock-up. On searching the prisoners for the knife, none was found; but, it being subsequently suggested that they might have concealed it in prison, an examination took place, and the knife was found with the blade still bloody. Dearden is a pensioner, between 40 and 50 years of age, a married man but without children, and was formerly one of the supernumerary watchmen of the town. Lately having broken his leg, he has been disqualified for some time serving in that capacity. On Monday, the prisoners were brought before t he magistrates, at the Session Room; but no witness was examined, except Mr. Coates, the surgeon who first attended Dearden, and who stated, that he had received two deep incisions in his belly, by some sharp instrument; that his bowels bad been injured, and'he was in great danger. Mr. Royds said, he should remand the prisoners tilt Tuesday, the following day. The court was crowded to excess in expectation that the case would be gone into. The colliers are all young men of the neighbourhood, and worked at Athershaw Moor colliery, between Rochdale and Royton. • POPERY.—It is stated, that in the vicinity of Sunderland the Roman Catholic priest has sent to Ireland for two monks, who have come over, and are now instructing 250 children of Protestant parents, many of whom they have induced to adopt the Romish faith.—Sunderland Guardian. The Rev. John Garbet, M.A., rural (lean of Birmingham, has published in the papers a plan for erecting. 10 additional churches in that town. On Tuesday last a numerous meet ing of the clergy of the borough, and of the wardens of the different churches and chapels, was held at the Blue Coat School, at which the Rev. John Garbet was in the chair, when it was unanimously resolved to use every effort for pro moting the above object. - 1 s Kg a var.. a.• longest seasons we remember. Several spirited gentlemen have joined the Royal Yacht Squadron this summer; the funds are in a most flourishing condition, and the greatest harmony prevails amongst the members. everal yachts are ordered to be built by the spring. It must be a great satis faction to every Englishman to see this great nursery for British seamen so nobly patronised, and our naval architec ture continually improving.—lsle of Wight Correspondent. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE.—A correspondent informs us that Mr. Charles Vinee, of Christian Malford, at the begin ning of the season planted one potato, allowing it two feet for growth. He hoed it and earthed it up once, and then let it take its course. This potato was lately dug, and there were attached to it 170 large potatoes, and 47 of a smaller kind, making 217 in the whole. The lot weighed 6311b5. Our correspondent says the potato is of a new kind, and Mr. Vines has been offered from ld to 3d each for them.—Glou cyster Chronicle. r7.-"Dipptng Entritigentr.

Yesterday there was a very good general demand, and the sales were fully 5,000 bags. To-day the demand has been more moderate, and the sales only reach 3,000. The market has closed very steadily. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 20. The imports from Ireland and Coastways since Tuesday last been very moderate, but our stocks of bonded Wheat and Flour have been further increased by arrivals from the United States, the latter chiefly old and sour; the first part of the past week was stormy and rainy, but since Thursday the weather has been very favourable for the completion of the northern harvest, which we fear is not yet fully accomplished, and although the usual com munications on this interesting subject, from many counties in England are various and indecisive, and from Scotland and Ireland few have vet been received, there seems to be a general and increasing 'feeling in the Corn trade, that the crops of Wheat throughout the whole kingdom, with a few exceptions, will this season prove very deficient in quality and quantity, which h s en curaged an increasing activity since this day week here in the de mand for IVheat and Flour at a further advance of 44 to tid per 70lbs for the former, and of Is to 2s per 28011 s on the latter, amid for all other articles in the trade there has been a. better demand at a small increase in prices ; the Yorkshire Corn markets have also improved a little during the past week, in \lark-lane, Wheat ad vaneed 3s to 4s per qr, and at Manchester on Saturday there was a similar improvement, and a fair demand for Grain from this port, although we are still a little undersold by the merchants in Wake field. . _ _ The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports is this week increased is per qr. and lid per brl. on Flour, Is 6,1 per qr. on Oats, and is 3d per qr. on Rye; on Peas it is decreased is 6d per qr. on other Grain no alteration; there being every prospect of the duties receding at no distant period, the holders of bonded Wheat and Flour are not very eager sellers, though about 2s to 2s 6d per 7011,s less than the same quality free would he given. a cargo of very fine Odessa Wheat in bond has been sold at 8s per 701bs, and Flour 32s to 35s her brl. ; a few sales of the finest heavy Oats in bond have been made for export at our highest quotations. At this day's market the advance above-mentioned was steadily demanded for Wheat and Flour. and fully obtained to a fair extent, but the millers, dealers, and speeulators;having purchased so freely last week, the business done this day was not very extensive • for Oats and Oatmeal, and for every other article in the trade there was also a better demand, at the small advance noted in the prices current below, and now again affix quotations to Wheat in bond though almost nominally.

We have had a large supply of Beasts at market to-day, although in nnmtu than last week, but. the quality generally has been rather inferior, and the sales very heavy, saying for a few beasts which were of a superior sort. The supply of Sheep has been ra ther large for the season of the year, many of which have been very small, and only of middling quality. The best Beef was sold at 51d middlin ; sd, varying from that down to 4d, Good Wether Mutton may be quoted at 61d, middling 6d, ordin a ry and Ewes of small size s . fd down to 3d hut chiefly at antecedent prices. From the very heavy market to-day there has been a great number of beasts left unsold, of small and very ordinary quality as well as a good few sheep. Number of Cattle 1953, Sheep 6651.
