loetrp. ILLUSTRATIONS OF POPERY.—No. I. THE PRIEST AND THE HOSTLER; OR, THE VIRTUES OF CONFESSION. There once lived a priest, who was sacred and fat, He knew what—when good things were going—to be at; His teeth, a young pullet would put them on edge, And his Bible—the cudgel—was fresh from the hedge. Now, it happened one day that this holy anointed, In an inn held a station, as duly appointed; Where the larder's perfume, to so practised a smeller, Was only surpassed by the fumes of the cellar. -Ela,s;irag-twietadJs,iis-nase wills deli bt atthe-gales That were wafted from capons, and wine-casks, and ales, And lick'd his fat lips at the sight of such hams, He piously set about feeding—his lambs! And the old and the young of both sexes repair To lay down their sins at the foot of his " chair ;" And the soul-pump is plied, and the whisper is given, And "presto" each sinner's new-modelled for heaven ! Thus to his penitents grace was made sure— He sifted the maidens to make them more pure; And he kindly explained to the slow and dull-witted The number of ways that sin could be c ommitted. At length came Dick Hostler, as well as the rest, Resolv'd to go forward and make a clear breast ; And Dick, by the way, was as arrant a knave As ever the priest had attempted to save. " It is a bad case," says the priest in his seat, " You're the devil's adept at each species of cheat; Detail now, you rascal, as far as you're able, The sins that prevail in the hay-loft and stable." The hostler went on, and recounted such acts As no honest man could e'er dream of as facts ; This disclosure, in truth, was no common affair, And their novelty forced the shrewd father to stare. " Oh, reprobate vile ! with iniquity cramm'd, Don't you feel,' said the priest, " that you ought to be damn'd ? Is each sin recounted?—is nothing conceal'd ? Are all your tricks, shifts, and manoeuvres revealed ?" But they were, and the father examined again • Into Dick's roguish treatment of horses—in vain— At last be thus hinted, " Come, out with it, Dick ? Isn't greasing their teeth, now, your commonest trick? Nay, never deny it, you damnable cheat, And then you go sell what the horses can't eat; For with teeth so well greas'd, Mr. Hostler, you know, That the horses you bait take their oats rather slow." Dick relished the notion, and certainly thought That it was not a hint to be heard and forgot; But he stoutly denied the whole charge—for the fact is, That this was beyond his adroitest of practice. So Dick by the priest was complacently shriven, And be thanked all the stars that his sins were forgiven; For he knew should he honestly chalk it once more That another confession would wipe out the score. And thus he went on for a year and a day, A cribbing of oats and a stealing of hay; When he next sought the priest, to come in for a twist, Of the pardon the priest could dispense with his fist. " Well, Dick," thus the priest as usual begins, " Come, give us a list of your failings and sins; And Dick, to the letter, went over, once more The same knavish list he had told him before. " Now think," said the priest, " if they all are confest; You know its your duty to make a clean breast— Conceal but a thought, and as sure as a gun, Confession is void, and your soul is undone." Dick was silent awhile, and he hemm'd and he haw'd, And the priest caught the scent of some masterly fraud; And he threatened, and told him distinctly to note, That he saw there was something that stuck in his throat. At length replied Dick, "There's a bit of a joke, Of which, I believe, that 1 have not yet spoke ; Sir, in talking of horses, you've pinioned me fast, " I've been greasing their teeth since I went to you last !" CONTEMPORARY PRESS. IRISH MEASURES. (From the Manchester Courier.) The principal subject of discussion in the House of Commons during the week, besides that which we have noticed in a separate article, has been Irish Tithes. On Thursday week, on the house going into commit tee on the bill, authorising the issue of exchequer bills for the payment of the arrears of tithes, Mr. Hume opposed the grant, as unjust to the people of England and Scotland, and divided the house upon it ; the re sult, however, was that the ministerial proposal was carried by a majority of 170 to 61. Sir Robert Peel, though he approved of the principle of extinguishing the arrears, objected to the compulsory mode which ministers proposed; and on Monday night urged the expediency of giving an option to the tithe owner of suing for the tithe, or of accepting the compromise to be offered by government; because this arrangement, as it would leave to every owner, declining the com promise, the same remedy as lie before enjoyed, could work no injustice to any man. Ministers, however, it will be seen, resisted this reasonable proposition ; and on a division, the right honourable baronet's amend ment was negatived by a majority 122 to 101. The most remarkable circumstance in these debates, how ever, is the curious position which ministers occupy. Step by step we see them following the course recom mended by Sir Robert Peel three years ago; and the men who, in 1835, adopted the appropriation principle for the sake of obtaining office, have now abandoned it for the sake of retaining office! Pure patriots ! Con sistent whigs! Well might Mr. Grote exclaim, that Sir Robert Peel must feel himself now in a proud po sition. Poor Lord John, who evidently smarted un der the sarcasm of his " honourable friend," could only reply that he had " done his best," and that "the first duty of ministers was to consider the situation of the country, and, in doing their duty, they must bear personal imputations!"—bear anything, in short, he might have added—but the loss of place; for that is the principle of the Melbourne administration. It would seem, however, that ministers themselves are not united in their sentiment's respecting the Irish church. Lord Howick, in the course of some obser vations which he made on Thursday week, intimated that in his opinion the time was at hand when the great question would be whether the Irish church should continue to exist. Sir Robert Peel alluded to this ex officio prediction on Monday, and commented upon it in strong and eloquent terms, justly observing, at the same time, " that if they went the length of es tablishing the Catholic religion as the religion of the state, they would only be engendering fresh causes of animosity and religious discord." Lord John Russell, to do him justice, threw his colleague overboard, de claring his determination to support the established ; but every man must see, that if Lord Howick's influence were as great as his love of distinction, such a declaration from a cabinet minister must have a se rious effect in weakening the chance of obtaining that benefit from the measure which a tithe bill might otherwise be expected to produce. On Tuesday the Lords' amendments of the Irish Poor Law were taken into consideration by the House of CoMmons, and on the motion of Lord John Russell, they were for the most part adopted. There is, there fore, now no doubt of this important measure soon re ceiving the royal assent. We think the tithe bill, not withstanding the differences which prevail on the sub ject of arrears, will also pass during the present ses sion ; but the fate of the municipal corporation bill is less certain. It seems that the amendments of Lord Lyndhurst have grievously offended the agitators, and their organs of the press are loud in their condemna tion. They have discovered that the measure is cal culated to perpetuate " Protestant monopoly," a cir cumstance quite sufficient to make it odious in the eyes of the "people" of Ireland. It remains to be seenwhat effect these indications will have upon the future conduct of ministers with respect to this measure. It will be seen that the tithe bill passed the Com mons on Thursday, after a feeble opposition from the radicals. ATTACK ON THE REV. MARCUS BERESFORD. ( From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We have ever found the Freeman's Journal an ho nest, hearty, and generous opponent—strenuous, in deed, for its own cause—but not condescending to the baser arts of faction for the implements of its warfare— and we should be sorry indeed that any thing should give us cause to alter an opinion so candidly formed, and often so unequivocally expressed. But we put it to the Freeman himself whether the observations which a ppear in his columns of yesterday, respecting the diabolical attempt upon the life of a Protestant clergy man, are c onsonant with th e a tt r ib u t es w hich we have assigned to this journal, or in any way becoming the fair advocate of one' party, and the upright opponent of another ? We do assur e the Freeman, it is with sincere sorrow we see h im resort to the paltry devices of low guilt, and the i ndecent ribaldry of desperate faction ; and we trust that, eithe r on reconsideration of the terms themselves, or in consequence of the facts with which we shall conclude, his next publication will contain a withdrawal, if not a total disa vo wal, of the following sentiments:— "The Mail " says our contemporary," is somet i mes i m - Posed on. No doubt he recollects instances where it has been proved that men, aye, gentlemen ! have fired blank powder at themselves, and then called themselves victims of the ferocity of the peasantry. The Bev. Beresford has been fired - at—this we deeply deplore—but it is as well to state that the current belief among the rev. gen tle man's neigh bours is that his assa il an t s were orangemen, and that they had only made this wicked attempt with blank cartridge, for the purpose of answering the purposes of their . masters. 4 • s * * - _ - - - We would not for the world even insinuate that the Rev. Marcus Beresford was aware of the shock his nerves were to be subject by this blank explosion, but we do more than hint that the attempt was not the result of malice or ill will towards the gentleman." Now, the subject of the diabolical attack, which our contemporary treats with equal levity and ribaldry, is a gentleman of as high character and noble bearing as any in the land. Sprung from an illustrious line of ancestors distinguished in the court and in the field, he is son of the Bishop of Kilmore and a near con nection of the Primate of Ireland. Gifted with ta lents, and an enlafged education, which would have placed him high in the ranks of any profession, he de voted his mind to the Christian ministry. There is not in the church a more working clergyman (as it is called) than the Rev. Marcus Beresford—one more to lerant and charitable to those who differ from him in faith—one more beloved by those amongst whom it is his duty to minister. Amiable, accomplished, and eloquent, he commands the regard of all who have the happiness of his acquaintance ; anti such is the respect in which he has been held, that our only wonder is, where an enemy to his good name or to his life could have •-- ' I lt r At cy t , _ .‘r y ilasinnations of the Freeman 4a , iz „,„,„. . ay be best refuted by the > 136"44,11 r t,..p - . ; .! -- Lc- ti a'l-2.... facts elicited in the progress of the investigation now going on, viz. ' that the plan was known to many indi viduals; that the line of retreat for the assassins had been agreed upon, and persons placed in waiting to facilitate their escape; that shouts of mad dog, (Mr. O'Connell's cry against the Beresfords at Waterford,) were raised by the ill-disposed—and that several per sons willing to favour the escape of the miscreants, pulled off their coats to baffle the pursuers; that very few of the country people made even a show of assist ance, and above all—and fact which clearly demon strates the absurdity of the Freeman's insinuation — the assassins passed through and mingled with a great number of Roman Catholics returning from early mass—and, had there not been a desire on their part to assist the escape of the pursued, they could easily have been captured. Nor is this all. The attack on Sunday, it now ap pears, was but the fulfilment of a design which was to have been put into execution on the Thursday previ ous. It was well known that on that day Mr. Beres ford was to have attended his parish church for the purpose of marrying a couple of his parishioners. Some special providence interfered in his behalf, and the ceremony was perforrntd by a neighbouring cler gyman. On that occasion, armed men were seen hiding and skulking about the route which the rev. gentleman must have taken; but no serious mischief was expected, and therefore no alarm was given, until the conspiracy developed itself in the attack of Sunday. Much more remains untold, which shall be forthcoming in due season. may we can assure the Freeman, and be may assure himself of the same fact, by a perusal of a document which will be found in our advertising columns, offering a reward of £l,OOO for the appre hension of the offenders, that his illiberal and unbe coming notion of the origin of this melancholy affair is far from consorting with the sentiments entertained by generous and respectable Roman catholics, and by genuine and intelligent liberals, in the place where, if factious feeling were to overcome truth, it were most likely to prevail and and overcome the truth, viz., in the county where the disgraceful and atrocious event took place. The signatures of men of all parties and religious persuasions to this offer of reward for the ap prehension of the assassins mark the abhorrence of Roman catholics and protestants equally of such tha bolical attempts, and may convince the Freeman shat little reliance is to be placed on his correspondent, and what little countenance his opinions would meet in a quarter where the facts and the characters of all the parties are best known and appreciated. THE MAN WITH THE GREY PAPER PARCEL, SPECIMEN OF FRENCH POLICE REPORTING. ( From Le Droit.) Imagine, if it is possible, the most abominable weather. A perfect horror of a miserably wet day—gutters filling the width of the street—water upon all the pavements—water falling from the roofs, from the pipes, from the clouds, water every where ; a day of diluvian reminiscence; a thoroughly wet Clay : in short, like this, like yesterday, and the day be fore; weather such as we have had for months past in this beautiful atmosphere of France, where the English come to bask in the sun, and to make their escape from the fogs and vapours of the Thames. Now, havinr , imagined this beauti ful specimen of the 9th of June in ' Paris, you must next imagine the figure of a certain wight, without an umbrella, splashing through the midst of the Rue St. Honore, hugging between his crossed arms an enormous bundle of grey paper ; the whole man dripping as if he had just issued from a swimminc , school, and running and bawling by turns after an omnibus, the conductor of which feigns for the moment to be exceedingly deaf. Omnibus conductors are always wags in rainy weather—it is their harvest—their fortunate quarter of an hour ; pros perity makes them insolent, and it is quite natural they should be so; but nevertheless they are fair, though the weather be foul, and as there was a vacant seat in the omni bus, the machine stopped. " A place on the right," cried the conductor. "I beg pardon, gentlemen; I beg pardon, ladies," exclaimed the man with the grey paper parcel, " this is weather." " But have the goodness," said a lady in a fawn coloured silk gown, " to be a little attentive—you have no mercy on my dress." " A thousand pardons, madam; I assure you it is not on purpose ; the devil of wea ther is to blame." " Mind what you are about," said a fat gentleman on the other side, "you are deluging my panta loons." " I beg pardon, sir; it is all the weather's fault." " All very well," replied the fat gentleman; " but people who are as wet as a sop ought not to get into an omnibus." Very true, sir; but it is such bad weather that I get into an omnibus. When it is fine I never ride. uouductor. ask these gentlemen to make me a square inch of room." " Have a little complaisance; there is plenty of room on the right," said the conductor. At this decree of the competent function ary, a space was made on the right seat, and the new comer installed himself there, reeking like a river from top to toe. " If the gentleman would have the kindness to put his large grey paper parcel under the seat it would be less disagree able," remarked the lady in the fawn-coloured silk. "It shall be done directly, madam--I beg a thousand pardons. What rascally bad weather, and here we are at the end of June." When an evil is inevitable, there is no remedy but patience. Our hero's fellow-travellers resigned themselves to the tedious virtue; a dead silence ensued, while the vehicle rattled and waded over the stones. At last the gruff, fat man, throwing a glance of his eye over the fawn-coloured sick, said, "I beg pardon, madam, but you seem to have got something at the bottom of your dress which is not natural." "Lord protect us," exclaimed a starched maiden lady on the opposite side, "itis a snail!" The whole company in chorus. "A snail! Stay, let us see—it is—no, it is not—yes, it is, and a superb nue too." "It is white l" "It is black !" "It is fat"— Sorry to trouble you, Sir; hut what is that at the end of your boot—this—just on the right toe? Surely that is another snail. " Parbleu ' true enough; but where the devil do these snails come from ?" An elderly gentleman, with important emphasis,--" Sir, they came from their shells, and not from the devil. Natural history informs us that hunger will make a wolf come out of the wood; and that rain will make a snail come out of its shell." " Yes, that's all very well in the country, do you see, but not in an omnibus. Halloo, don't stir : as sure as 1 live, there's something defiling at full length along this good gen tleman's umbrella."—" Indeed, that's past a joke !—there Must be some one here who has got snails about him." "Yes, that's quite clear," echoed the rest. A general search should be made. "It is not I, in the first place." "Nor I, nor I, nor I." Fourteen "Nor I's" resounded on all sides; but a high passenger, (the surplus 15th,) the last corner, the man of the deluge, sopped, drenched and reeking, had not a word to say. During the whole of this hubbub, that watery Wight had not ceased for one moment sponging himself with his handker chief, the surplus water of which he squeezed out under the seat, by gently slipping his hands between his knees. This operation being repeated very often, at length attracted notice, and suspicion being roused, reminded the company of the grey-paper parcel which had been placed under the seat. The drapery was raised, and to the general stupefac tion of the company, the ,gigantic grey-paper parcel was found to be pierced with holes in twenty places, by the drip pings from the owner's handkerchief, and from the holes were seen escaping myriads of snails, who appeared to be making an effectual retreat with arms and baggage. Two hundred of these horned gentry had already broken their fetters, and, with their knapsacks on their backs ; had already regained the land of liberty. " Sir, this is infamous ; sir, this is an atrocity; you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Such conduct is beyond words; there ought to be laws expressly made for punishing such wickedness." " Pardon me, Ladies and Gentlemen, but do not make such a horrible noise about a trifle. You will frighten those poor reptiles out of their wits. Diable, they are but snails; they won't eat you; but they are very good to eat. For my part, lam very fond of snails. I have just come from mar ket from purchasing a few gross. There is no great harm in that, for they are delicious eating with white sauce. I'll be bound you are fond of them too, and instead of making all this row, you ought to assist me in catching them." So saying, the man of the grey parcel immediately put himself into active service. The parcel, it is true, was hors de combat, but his hat readily supplied its place; and first seizing one snail, and then another, by the shell, by the body, by the horns, he thrust them to the bottom of their new prison; he then resumed the chase; tracked them, hunted them over the company's feet, under their feet, over the cushions, under the cushions, along the walking-sticks, the umbrellas, the gowns, and the pantaloons. His arms and his hands appeared to prolong themselves on all sides; now they made a dash at the right, now at the left. At length his hat began to fill with its strange burden; but every time he returned to the charge he found new deserters; a new contest was to be waged on the brim of the hat, which was now formidably garnished with numerous horned battalions, who were devoting to the purposes of rapid flight all their natural qualities of elastic and slippery evasion. The ladies, who at first, in their fright and anger, had thought of nothing else but of hermetically wrapping their garments about their feet, and the men, who had thrust their trowsers into their boots for protection, could not maintain their serious countenances any longer. The whole equipage burst into a simultaneous shout of laughter. The ladies swooned with laughing; the men threw themselves back in their seats. The conductor abandoned himself to the pro tection of his strap, swearing that he had never in his life seen such a collection of fools, while the coachman did not know what to make of his turbulent convoy, and was think _ . ing, fora moment, of driving them all to the madhouse at Charenton. In a few minutes the whole of the convoy would have had an attack of hysterics. The fawn-coloured gown, above all, was most vehemently affected; she wanted to get out, but she could not speak—she could not shout—she could only make signs with her hand; at length she rose from her place, and seized the conductor's strap, in order to explain her intention. The conductor, always half drunk, pulled the guide-cord attached to the coachman's arm with a vehe mence which nearly dragged him off his box. The coach man, in a rage, pulled up his horses with equal vehemence, and caused the omnibus to stop so abruptly that the lady in the fawn-coloured dress was stretched sprawling at full length, and happened to fall precisely up'on the hatfull of snails, which she completely smashed, both receptacle and its contents. It was on account of the above accident dial yesterday the parties appeared before the Police Magistrates of the district for redress. On the one hand, M. L-, the hair-dresser, claimed the value of his hat and the snails which it contained; and, on the other, Mdlle. ll- demanded compensation for the damage done to her fawn-coloured dress, by coming in contact with M. L-'s hatful of snails. Witnesses were produced on both sides, and the matter was finally referred by the magistrate to arbitration. WILL CASE.—CHESTER CONSISTORY COURT, JULY 26. BAMFoRn a. STOTT AND ANOTHER.—This case, in the same court, involved the validity of a will. The deceased, Mr. Bamford, of Tongue, near Middleton, demised his property, being of very considerable value, to two illegitimate chil dren. The party promoter impeached the will, on the ground of forgery. A host of witnesses established its authenticity ; and the chancellor gave judgment in favour of the will, each party to pay their own costs. Our OF THE WonLo.—The clergyman of the little island of St. Kilda, did not hear of King William's death till a few days ago, an d bas, consequently, been praying a whole year for health and long life to his Majesty, while he was lying in his ,irave. So unfrequent is the communication between St. Kilda and the mainland, that a newspaper put into the post on the day of publication did not reach the rev. gentleman till two years and a half after date. A PROFITABLE NEWSPAPER SPECULATION.—In the In solvent Debtors' Court, London, on Wednesday last, Robert Deer, late publisher and cashier of the Shipping Gazette, and of the Constitutional newspaper, applied for his discharge. It appeared from the questions put by the court, that the aggre gate amount of the insolvent's debts was £6286; of which sum, he had received no consideration for £5650. The liabi lities had arisen from the insolvent having entered into en gagements for the Constitutional newspaper, in which he had been a shareholder. The Constitutional paper had now ceased. The court ordered the insolvent to be discharged, on his filing a copy of an assignment of his furniture. Wheat Qrs Barley Qrs 0at5....... Qrs Flour.

Some weeks since an itinerant lecturer of abolition visited the neigbourhood of Portsmouth, Ohio, and put up at a pub lic house with the iuteution of enlightening the minds of the public in regard to the oppression of his dark-coloured bre thren and sisters, by a lecture to be delivered next day, on the cruelty and tyranny of the whites refusing to admit the negro to a perfect equality with themselves in all respects. All the visitors and lodgers in the tavern were annoyed during the day, by the impertinent conduct of the pseudo philanthropist, forcing his disgusting and incendiary doctrines on every one who bad sufficient patience or curiosity to listen to him. The landlord, whose house was honoured with the presence of th , , lecturer, formed the plan of experimenting on his professions of love for " Afric's sable race." In the evening the landlord called to him a coloured man named Bill, who acted as ostler, or man of all work, about the inn, and ordered him to wash himself well, put on a clean shirt, and go to bed in a certain room which he mentioned. Bill acted as his master directed him, and felt considerably " stuck up" with the sudden change of his sleeping apart- ' ments, from the kitchen loft to the best room in the house, attributed it all to the presence of his white friend, who had taken several opportunities through the day to impress on Bill's mind that all were equal, and that the fact of a por tion of society being blessed with a fairer skin, gave them no right to claim a superiority over their less fortunate brothers and sisters of a darker hue, and that naturally, Bill and every other gentleman of colour, who performed the the part of servants to the whites, had the same right to respects and privileges as their masters. Bill saw the justness of his friend's " equality" doctrine at once, and when called by the land lord, was decided in his own mind in what manner he would propose to his master a change in the respective sta tion; he to assume the duties of ostler, and his employer to take up the curry-comb and brush ; " turn about's fair play," thought Bill. In the evening, whe❑ the lecturer wished to retire, the landlord conducted him to his chamber, and showed him the bed he was to occupy. After he had disrobed himself and turned down the clothes to get into bed, he started back with astonishment on beholding his friend Bill in snug posses sion of one-half of it, who invited him with a familiar nod to get in. The abolitionist cast a look of scorn on poor Bill, and demanded of the landlord what he meant by giving him a " nig ger" for a bed-fellow ? He was answered with his "equality" argument. "Bill's person was healthy, he had on a clean shirt, was not addicted to any ugly habits in his sleep, and more than all, was one of the proscribed and injured race'" for whom the gentleman professed such ardent love; the last consideration ought to make Bill a welcome companion to the "lodger." The enraged philanthrophist could not stand this practical test of his doctrine, but let loose his wrath on the landlord:—" Sir, I tell you I will not put up with this unparalleled indignity; who ever heard of such insolence? putting a gentleman to sleep with a filthy nigger!" "And let me tell you, Sir," replied the landlord, "that with that nigger' you'll have to sleep, if you sleep at all; he is as clean in his person and clothes as you are yourself, and in every other respect, according to your own preaching, he is your equal, so hop in and embrace your brother, for most cer tainly he shall be your companion till morning." The aboli tionist threatened, raved, and coaxed, but all would not do; the landlord was inexorable, he was determined to make his lodger practise what he preached, and the crestfallen aboli tionist was compelled to take his place alongside of his sooty friend, where he lay till morning, enduring feelings that can not be described. He was kept in a state of continual rest lessness through the whole night, repelling Bill's familiarities, and keeping the negro's woolly head out of his face. Ile rose at the dawn of day, while his comrade "all in black," with a mind free from all the perplexing cares of life, was enjoying "the honey-heavy dew of slumber," called for his bill and left the town. The lecture was consequently indefinitely post poned. Bill related, with great importance, the distinguished honour conferred on him, by being the bed-fellow of Mr.—, but said the comfort is not so much to be desired, as the `• gemman kicked most almightily, and had a 'strernely bad bref, dat, however, is 'tributable to his white extraction."— Charleston (American) Mercury. SELECT EXTRACTS. COMPARATIVE INTELLIGENCE OF THE HIGHER AND LOWER CLASSES.—The most essential point, however, in which the lower classes have advanced upon the higher, is that of personal acquirements. is it not in early life that the education of the lower orders is better than that of their superiors. There is generally great anxiety manifested on the part of the higher orders, that the attainments of their sons and daughters should correspond with their station in society; and the wish of the parent is usually seconded by the talents and disposition of the child. It is before and after they have reached maturity, that the youth of the aristocrasy begi❑ to lose ground in the race of emulation. The sons of the nobility and great landed proprietors are no longer required to discharge various public functions, which in ruder periods they were wont to do, while such numbers of them are every where to be seen, that their rank alone does not place them on that eminence which it formerly com manded. Their ardour is thus damped for honourable ex ertion on the one hand, while the blandishments of case and luxury allure them on the other. As they advance in life, the management of property, the cares of a family, and the various duties of society, demand su much of their time, that it requires extraordinary skill and resolution to reserve any considerable portion of it at their own disposal. In the meanwhile, art and science are daily diminishing that pro portion of the community which subsists by mere manual labour; books, instruction, and travelling, are more within the reach of all; and those who must live by their own ex ertions, or whose means debar them from expensive plea sures, are induced and compelled to improve themselves with unremitting assiduity. The result of this indolence on the one hand, and diligence on the other, is, that on nine out of ten occasions, where extraordinary proficiency or informa tion really is demanded, the higher classes are surpassed by those who were originally their inferiors, not only in birth, butin education, and perhaps also in capacity.—Quarterly VISIT TO THE SITE OF SYRACUSE.—NO spot which I ever beheld ever illustrated the transitory nature of earthly things more strongly than modern Syracuse. Historians have dis tinctly described the vast magnitude of the ancient city, Enough vestiges remain to confirm the truth of their state ments. The harbour is still in existence; which originally made Syracuse the emporium of the world; but the harbour only contains a few fishing boats and speronaras, and the Syracuse which now exists is but the wreck and mockery of departed greatness. You cast your eyes on the rising ground at the upper end of the harbour. Where is Neapolis? Where is Tyche? Where Achradina ? There they assuredly stood; but what is now there? Absolutely nothing! On the other side of the bay you distinguish the Doric shafts of the tem ple of Jupiter Olympus- the very temple which contained, the statue from which Dionysius the elder purloined the mantle of gold. How deep into the past do these remem brances carry your thoughts! Modern Syracuse is confined to the small peninsula on which formerly stood that portion of the ancient city which was called Ortygia, as if London were reduced to the Tower and Tower-hill, or Paris to the island in the middle of the Seine. The neck of laud which unites length th o e f smallharbour.the peninsula to * t * h e Icvo traversedcoast divides the what was Syracuse, as it might be setting out from Shore ditch to go by the Strand to Westminster, traversing a space that was once no less crowded with houses and thronged with men. The whole is now a rocky common, only frequented by a few sheep and goats; nothing to remind you of the past, except the grooves here and there worn by the chariot wheels in the rock, indented lines, that trace the foundations of houses, and the occasional gurgling of water, when you hit upon the course of the stream which is brought by the aque duct. Here and there, in the wide extent, are a few patches of cultivation, and one or two modern farms, but nothing an cient; and you puzzle your brains to conceive what can have become of the temples and the palaces, the vast piles of mar ble and stone, the materials the very dust, of the London of antiquity,— The Normans in Sicily, 6y Mr. W. G. Kniglit. CIRCASSIAN WARPARE.—UnIike Europeans, they never fight in a line, but in bodies of about twenty or thirty at a time,—their common practice being to fall unawares upon the enemy, and harass them day and night during their march. After making a charge, they disperse, then rally, and return again to the charge, when their exhausted foe supposes them to have fled; and as they are certain to kill immediately, or wound mortally, those whom they bit, and never fail to avail themselves of a good position, these cir cumstances combined with their desperate bravery and per• severance, render them, perhaps, the most formidable anta gonists to be found in any country.—Travels in the Western Caucasus. STEAM-ENGINE BOILERS.—The following method, em ployed by Captain Kennedy, commanding her Britannic Majesty's steamer Spitfire, to prevent the incrustations or deposits of saline matter on the inside of the boilers of steam engines, has been communicated by him in a letter to M. Gautier, of the French consulate at Malta. Captain Ken nedy recommends, after having well cleaned the boilers and tubes, to coat those parts of their interior surface most ex posed to the action of the fire with a mixture composed in the proportion of eighteen pounds of melted suet and three pounds of powdered black lead. He states, that the ad vantages of this application have been fully tested by C 71,2- tience, that the Lords of the Admiralty have resolved, (oat all the government steamers shall, for the future, be provided with a sufficient quantity of the above mentioned ingredi ents. — French 'paper. THE ARABIAN KING AND PoET.—A whimsical story is told of a king who denied to poets those rewards to which usage had almost given them a claim. This king, whose name is not recorded, had the faculty of retaining in his memory an ode after having only once heard it; and had a memlook who conl.l repeat an ode which he had twice heard, and a female slave who could repeat one that she bad heard thrice. Whenever a poet came to compliment him with a panegyri cal ode, the king used to promise him, that if he found his verses to be his original composition, he would give him a sum of money equal in weight to what they were written upon. The poet, consenting, would recite his ode; and the king would sac, " It is not new, for I have known it some years," and would repeat it as he had heard it; after which he would add, "And this memlook also retains it in - his memory;" and would order the memlook to repeat it ; which, having heard it twice, from the poet and the king, he would do. The king would then say to the poet, " I have also a female slave who can repeat it ;" and ordering her to do so, stationed behind the curtains, she would repeat what she had thus thrice heard: so the l'oet would go away empty-handed. The famous poet El-Asina'ee, having heard of this proceeding, and guessing the trick, determined upon outwitting the king • and accord ingly composed an ode made up of very difficult words : but this was not his only preparative measure; another will be presently explained; and a third was, to assume the dress of a Bedawee, that he might not be known, covering his face. the eyes only excepted, with a litham (a piece of drapery) in accordance with the custom of the Arabs of the desert. Ttius disguised, he went to the palace, and, having asked permis sion, entered, and saluted the king, who said to him, "Whence art thou, 0 brother of the Arabs! and what dostthou desire?" The poet answered, " May God increase the power of the king! lam a poet of such a tribe, and have composed an ode in praise of our lord the sultan."—" 0 brother of the Arabs !" said the king, " hast thou heard of our condition ?" " No," answered the poet; " and what is it, 0 king of the age?"—" It is," replied the king, " that if the ode be not thine, we give thee no reward; and if it be thine, we give thee the weight in money of what it is written upon."—" How," said El-Asma'ce, "should I assume to myself that which be longs to another, and, knowing, too that lying before kings is one of the basest of actions? But I agree to this condition, 0 our lord the sultan !" So he repeated his ode. The king, perplexed, and unable to remember any of it, made a sign to the memlook—but he had retained nothing; and called to the female slave, but she also was unable to repeat a word. " 0 brother of the Arabs !" said he, " thou bast spoken truth, and the ode is thine without doubt: I have never heard it before; produce, therefore, what it is written upon, and we will give thee its weight in money, as we have promised."— " Wilt thou," said the poet, " send one of the attendants to carry it ?" "To carry what ?" asked the king; "is it not upon a paper here in thy possession?"—" No, our lord the sultan," replied the poet; "at the time I composed it, I could not procure a piece of paper upon which to write it, and could find nothing but a fragment of a marble column left me by my father; so I engraved it upon this, and it lies in the court of the palace." He had brought it, wrapped up, on the back of a camel. The king. to fulfil his promise, was obliged to exhaust his treasury; and to prevent a repetition of this trick (of which he afterwards discovered El-Asina'ee to have been the author,) in future rewarded the poets according to the usual custom of kings.—Mr. Lane's Aotes to his New Trans lation of the Arabian Nights. CONDITION OF THE LAPLANDERS.—The condition of the wandering Laplander forms a singular union of real wealth with real poverty. To support a family in the " Fjelde," a flock of from three to four hundred reindeer is necessary. He who possesses only from one to three hundred must de pend for subsistence partly on fishing in the lakes and shoot ing, or must betake himself to the coast, or to husbandry in a fixed situation. The value of a reindeer is about one-third of that of a cow : it sells for three or four dollars,* and a cow from nine to twelve; and the meat, skin, and horns of the one sell as readily as those of the other. A flock of 400 rein deer, the minimum which can support a family, supposing one-fourth of the number to be full grown, and the other 300 to be worth only one-third of their value, must altogether he equal to a capital of 600 dollurs, or about £l2O. sterling. Yet the yearly produce of this capital, which is greater than the value of all the property possessed by three or four families of the working class in a civilized community, and with which they would be far removed from want, is insufficient to support a Laplander, even in a state of extreme privation in which he habitually lives. This is a striking instance of the real expense of living in that natural state, as it has been called, or that barbarous one, in which man consumes what he produces, and lives independent of the arts of civilized life, its tastes, and enjoyments. The Laplander uses nothing which he does not make for himself, except the iron pot for dressing his victuals, and the piece of coarse cloth which forms his tent. He consumes nothing but what his reindeer yield him; his occasional excess in brandy, and his use of tobacco, are not ordinary indulgences. Yet, without the tastes, and gratifications of civilized life, or any of its expenses, the Lap lander, with the above capital, is in poverty, and destitute of an assured subsistence. This shows the real expense of that half•savage life which, from the accounts of emigrants and travellers in America, we are apt to suppose is the least costly of any, because it has neither comforts nor luxuries to pay for, and produces what it consumes. The Laplander's con dition is the beau ideal of that sort of life. Five shillings would undoubtedly purchase all that he uses in a year of those articles which are not indispensably necessary for exist ence; yet a capital which, with their own labour, would maintain three families in the enjoyment of the comforts and decencies of civilized life, according to their station, does not keep him from positive want. The Laplander, who possesses a thousand or more reindeer, and who is consequently a man of considerable property, lives in the same way as the poor est, enjoys no more of the luxuries of life, and has no higher tastes or habits to gratify. It is said that very considerable portions of the silver currency of the country are lost, in con sequence of this class of Laplanders hoarding. from genera tion to generation, all the money they obtain by the sale of their surplus produce ; and that the spot in the " Fjelde," where the treasure is buried, often cannot be discovered by heirs.—Lainy's Journal of a Residence in Norway. * The dollar is valued at 3s. 10d. INDUSTRY OF A CONVICT.—NEW SOUTH WALES.-Dr. Lang, in his account of New South Wales, gives a pleasing picture of the condition of an emancipated servant, on his beginning the world after his liberation :—" I had occasion (proceeds our author) to visit the settlement of Illawarra, about seventy-five miles to the southward of Sydney, in the month of April, 1830. The journey being too long for a single day's ride, I had to spend a night by the way. The house of a magistrate of the territory, whose cordial hospitality I had repeatedly experienced on former visits to the interior, lay near my route; but, choosing rather to confer than to re ceive a favour, I turned aside to the little cottage of a small settler, who I knew had arrived in the colony as a convict, though he had been free at the time I allude to for many years. The settler had originally been a Presbyterian from the north of Ireland: he had enlisted in a Scotch regiment quartered in the north of England, whither 1 understood he had gone as a petty dealer or hawker. Having committed some crime, however, of a minor character, he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. His wife, whom he had mar ried in the colony on obtaining his freedom, was a native of the south of Scotland. " I bought this farm," the settler told me in the course of my visit, "the year I got my liberty; it is a thirty-acre farm—very good land, sir; and I was to pay a hundred pounds for it, for You know it was cleared but not stumped—that is, the roots o - 1 the trees were left standing in the ground. 'rhe year I got it, I only put in four acres of wheat, for it was rather late in the season. The wheat was very cheap last year; but the next year I put in fifteen acres with the hoe, all with my own hands; and I had as many bushels off it as there are days in the year, (that is, 365 bushels, or 24 bushels per acre.) The wheat was very dear that season, and I sold a great part of my crop at 14s. 64.; but the cheapest I sold was half a guinea a bushel, and I cleared my farm that year. I lived in that hut you see till the debt was paid, and then I built this weather-boarded house. We have every thing comfortable now—plenty of wheat. corn, potatos, and every thing else we require. Indeed, it's a good country, sir, for an industrious man. At home I would only have had a day's labour, and little for it, and, perhaps, not even that ; but here I have a farm of my own, and every thing comfort able. I have much reason to be thankful that ever I came here, and I hope there's forgiveness for what's past.'—ln short, the aspect of things about the settler's little establish ment justified the account he had given me, both of it and himself; and I was most happy to afford him such general commendation, and such pastoral encouragement, as his cha racter and circumstances peculiarly called for. As I had two days' journey to perform on horseback, ere I could reach his little cottage on my return to Sydney, I gladly availed my self of his offer to supply me with a fresh horse, that my own might be in better spirits and condition on my return; and, in riding rapidly along on the spirited Australian steed—the produce of sheer industry and economy—l could not help wishing, from the very bottom of my heart, that a hundred thousand families of the labouring agricultural populatio.n of Great Britain and Ireland could be gradually conveyed to a country in which the same industry and economy would in fallibly lead them to the same degree of comfort and inde pendence."

We have thisweek had a large importation of foreign Wheat, but of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal the supplies have been ex tremely limited ; in fact, so inadequate to the general demand as . to cause considerable reduction in the granary stocks. The sales of Wheat have been at very full prices, the best runs of Irish red readily obtaining 10s, English red 10s 3d to lOs 6d, and white lOs 9d to Its ; indeed, at yesterday's market a very choice sample of the latter brought I Is 3d per 701bs.—Flour has met a free sale at 50s to 52s for good up to 57s per sack for extra marks of Irish, being is per sack above the quotations of this day se'nnight.—A little in crease in the country demand for Oats has enabled holders to realize an advance of Id per bushel 3s Id to 3s 4d per 451bs have been the selling rates for Irish.—Oatmeal has also been in more request, and must be noted 6d to 9d per load dearer than at the close of last week : 27s 3d per 2401bs has been paid for the best Irish.—Orders for Barley remain unexecuted, from a want of th e requisite supply : for good qualities our highest quotations would be given.—No change in the value of either Beans or Peas.—Several cargoes of bonded red Wheat have been sold, during the week, at 7s 6d to 7s 9d per 701bs, and it is now held for rather more money, with sew sellars.
