Poetry. ------- - - - THE ENGLISH_ SHIP BY MOONLIGHT. ET ELIZA COOK. ( From the New Monthly Magazine.) The world below hath not for me Such a fair and glorious sight, As an English ship, on a rippling sea, In the clear and full moonlight. My heart leaps high, as I fix my eye On her dark and sweeping hull, Laying its breast on the billowy nest, Like the tired sleeping gull. The masts spring up, all tall and bold, With their beads among the stars; The white sails gleam in the silvery beam, Brailed up to the branching.spars.. The wind just breathing to unroll A flag that bears no stain; Proud ship ! that need l 4t no other scroll To warrant thy right on the main. The sea-boy, hanging on the shrouds, Chants out his fitful song, And watches the scud of fleecy clouds, That melts as it floats along. Ob ! what is thereon the Sloggard land That I love so well to mark, • thehallow'd light of the still moonlight, As I do a dancing bark! , The ivyed tower looks well in that hour, And so does an old cburch.spire, When the gilded 'Vane, and Gothic pane, Seem tinged with quivering fire. The hills shine out in the mellow ray, The love-bower gathers a charm ; And beautiful is the chequering play On the willow's graceful,a.rm But the world below holds not for me Such a fair and glorious sight, As a, brave ship floating on the - sea, In the full and clear moonlight. CON7'EMPORARY PRESS. THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA. ( From the Morning Herald.) It was well observed by Sir. Robert Inglis, last night, • that the difficulties of governing Canada would, in truth, only commence, after the. revolt should be put doWn. ~Differences of race, differences in religious faith, (lif• , ferences in social habits, and differences in political feeling would, as the honourable baronet observed, make themselves more keenly felt after the suppression of the „late . revolutionary movements, than they had ever done before ! • . . --The greatest obstacle, perhaps, to the perfect fusion of the two races of. Canadians is to be found in their widely differing systems of law, affecting the tenure and transmission of property. Until thi!Se jarring systems •..shall be assimilated, the English and French inhabitants of, Canada can never become, in truth, one people. Until the process of assimilation shall be. undertaken, although Canada may, nominally, remain .c.oonected with England, Canada must continue divided against itself. The English government, therefore, ought now, undoubtedly, .- to establish a system. of English law; throughout the whole of our North American dominions. We may be told, it is true, that such a course in. I_.volve a violation of. treaties, and of guaranteed rights; i• and-that it will•beattended, moreover, with much posi tive loss and injury to classes of individuals. We admit that injury to individuals, and, perhaps, on a large scale, may be the immediate consequence: the necessity must, however, justify the change..,, There can be no reason, • moreover, why Government should not in- the circum - stances; • take into consideration; the claims of injured .parties, and afford .to.all.suels . reasonable _compensation. When a great public good is attained at the cost of in dividuals, these individaalsare,„in equity, entitled to a fair consideration at the hands of the poblie. •• • That treaties should from time to time be departed from, is an inevitable consequence.of the imperfect vvis .- dour 'which presides over all political arrangements; 'but • if treaties are not departed from in a spirit of bad faith, there can never exist ground for much regret upon'the subject. ft ,is for the permanent interest of the French ..,.Canadians,..as,, certainly, as it is for the immediate and permanent interest of the English Canadian's, but that one system of property-laws should prevail-•throughout - oar. American colonies; above all the interest of the mo ,, ther,eountry, the. interest of the empire, as a - whole, de mands the change indicated. If it were necessary,- in the •• circumstances, to plead any other .title on .the part of ~.England, to effect...this great alteration, that other title would-•be supplied by the result of the late unhappy con -Jest. The French. Canadians have attempted to change the relation in which they stood to England. They have failed , : • England has, at least, as good a right in any - circumstances, to change the relations" which connected herwith aportion of her colonists : and as matters now standolie law,of conquest supplies England with sufficient - >warrant.i We do not, however,- urge this argument. It is sufficient to note, that this argument's influence is ' -cm the - side of the great and beneficial change, which we recommend. Tt is worthy or remark, at the same time, that the men most likely to talk, in the matter of Canada, ,of viala.ted • treaties, are the very men n - hose boast-itis, that:. they are committed in deadly hostility, against the oldest•and best guaranteed institutions of England—who laugh at•vested rights—and find matter of, merriment - in '• the, wisdom of our ancestors !" NATIONAL EDUCATION. (From the Morning Herald) We trust that no.plan of national education, coming from such a personage as Lord Brougham, will ever re .ceive the sanction of the House'of Lords. If the tree is to be judged by its fruits, and we have the highest an thority for saying that it should, the " tree of know , ledge," ; -planted by such hands, is not one from which the ~country will ever gather any wholesome fruit. Every reform that Lord Brougham has yet originated, or had much to do with, has been a blunder or a failure. His pre sent position is still less favourable to any sound and Judi cious view of public questions than his former one., As a .vvhig,.and afterwards a whig-radical, he might have been disposed, even with all his constitutional temperament for dabbling in mischievous innovations under the name of reform, to preser7e a few remnants of our ancient and unrivalled system of mixed government which gave _England its once glorious pre-eminence in the world; but now he is an avowed radical ; he has taken Waklev's powders and " goes the whole h og ." Will t h e H ouse of Lords allow such a politician as this 'to dabble with the education of the people, and thrust his crude, ab , surd, and mischievous _theories on the .country as the emanation of deliberate wisdom ? There is no question that a political party exists in this country, and that though not a very numerous, yet a very - active one, whose efforts are constantly directed to the unhallowed task of unclaistianizing the people. The House of Lords went too far already in yielding to that mock-liberalism, when they sanctioned the whig radical marriage and registration acts, the power of which impoSes in certain cases upon clergymen of the Church of England. the duty of violating the canons which, it is also their duty to obey—while the latter, by disconnect ing the-naming of the poor man's child from the baptis mal rites, strikes at Christianity in its very source. We hope the House of Lords, which on other occasions, more especially in resisting the attempted destruction of the.lrish Protestant Church, has deserved so well of the country, will not allow any more measures conceived in a similar spirit of false and demoralising liberalism, come from what quarter they may, to receive their sanction, and go forth clothed with the authority of law, to un settle the Christian principles of the people and under mine the best institutions of the country. Any plan of national education, which is not essentially a moral and religious one—any scheme of that sort of which' the Holy Scriptures are not the corner-stone, will inevitably produce more mischief than good. The sim plicity of ignorance is better than a vicious knowledge —virtue and contentment may co-exist with the former, but the latter begets nothing but disaffection, turbulence, ,and disorder; it breaks down all veneration for things ,established, and induces a blind presumptuousness in :disturbing, for the sake of untried theories, or through a malignant passion for destruction, the very frame-work ' of society. We have seen enough of this of late tears —the people were led astray by the delusions and sor- , ceries of false prophets. Those of a better nature have renounced their errors, and abjured the doctrines of the political impostors. Those who sought change to gra tify a malevolent feeling or a selfish vanity have become desperate through disappointment. The last elections in Great Britain threw up the barriers of conservatism round the national institutions. The assailants of those institutions, whether they proceed by open assault, or by sap and undermine, willrneet, we hope, in the House of Lords at least, not only the courageous but, the vigilant sentinels and guardians of the altar, the crown, and the public liberties. Insidious liberalism, with its education plans, must be exposed and defeated, o► all that has been hitherto clone to preserve the religion and morals of England will have been unavailing. PREMATURE INTERMENT.--As James Denham, the sexton of Southowram church, was engaged in attending to his duties in the church-yard the other day, the box which affords a tern. porary shelter to the minister during the reading of the burial service fell over, and knocked him into a grave, enclosing him Within its narrow limits ; but, assistance being at hand, he was speedily rescued: one of his arms was broken by the accident.

MR. RUMBALL'S FOURTH LECTURE ON PHRENOLOGY. On Tuesday evening Mr. timball delivered his fourth lec ture on phrenology at the Medical Institution, Mount-pleasaut. In comuiencing his lecture, he said he had given wnat were called the propensities and sentiments; -sonic s common to man .and auitnals, and sonic peculiar -to man alone. He-had-not classified them as vet, and he almost regretted to classify them at all, because classification assumed, a priori, what remained to be proved in any science, and that, all about .that science was perfectly known and established. As in chemistry, names had been obliged to be altered, because they had been given in as ,sumption of facts, which had afterwards been proved to be false hoods;so it was in anatomy and physiology, and every science where men had assumed what they could not prove. - He-would show how the.intel.ectual.faculties-were classified and how.clas sificationein the present state of science ought to be avoided. Man had feelings given to him to detend him from harm, to lead to. his individual security,. his. individual pleasures, and also to lead to the qualificetion of ,his wants and luxuries incidental to him as one of many. These feelings could only be raised by perception efesbjects calculated.to raise them; Averse. fore man had perceptive faculties. They had plenty of proofs that all perceptions were carried into the brain before they could be made perceptions; that the senses were the mere in struments which the brain made use of to collect its information; and carry forward its mandates. Throtighene,medium of these senses, man came to the . knowledge ef.surroundingebjects. It was necessary : that he should be able to tinderstapd their form, size, weight, colour, noruber, and the, order in ,whleh they were ,placed, the space they, occupied, and then that he should he able ,p form them into an image ; because_ every, individual body .had these properties : these were properties of matter, It was necessary that man should. form e these thingeinto an image; : and theu it was necessary,,if they, wished to elevate him above the lowest,brute, that he should ascertain bow these things were; and. why these thinge were, that he m i g ht th en dertve,gratifica• tion by the application of : his intellectual faculties tor his ext.e,rs nal seusietions. Man,hadall these powers, .He could perceive ,eforme but some men could perceive, it with very much greater nicety than others. It was .a primitive .facutty. Bewivk, the .celebrated wood-engraver, hail a wonderful perception of form. Sir. Walter Scott and Mrs. Radcliff, each betrayed in their -wri tings a.w.oriderful perceptien of form, so, much sosthat you could sit down and draw from their. descriptions • but pots° Byron: ,he gave the expression, the soul, the mad, but said nothirig about form; and so it was with ail their works. ,Lord Byron's eyes were almost a deformity, . they were placed eanear toge ther. Bewick's eyes were declared to be the widest apart that were ever seen. The.organ of form was situated immediately above the root of tlie'nose, and enlarged the part exactly. above the nose, though the nose itself need not be wide. But he should not be surprised if, some day, this were .not found to be a faculty, either from want e of experience or judgment. There were two or three which required to be subetantiated. It was not, only necessary, that man ,should see the form. of a thing, but its size b ecause two ehings,of the same form might be of a very differeet size. He knew a lady who would tell the, height of the column of 'abe'ehurch within two or three feet, whilst many could, not at all tell you, the ..dimensions,- There was a faculty for size. He was sorry to doubt, but they had space again. as he should show, which they would suispose was included in size. They would findsome sportsmen who could tell exactly when a bird was within range, and others who could- not tell whether it was or not. Size was supposed to enlarge the eyebrow for= wards and downwards, exactly .opposite the organ of , form. Then came weight. Some men had no conception of the weight of a thing if they did not see it. This, faculty was said to make a good billiard player. He had found that all good billiard players. had weight exceedingly well developed. This faculty was situated next to size in the centre of the eyebrows. -But they must each take a marked bust. before they could make them selves acquainted with all about phrenology. Everything in nature had a colour that had light upon it. was, therefore, necessary that man should. have .the faculty of perception of colour, There were some painters who could never discrimi nate colours in the .same way as Reubens and Titian.. Mr. Rumball here related an anecdote of a young man who was dismissed from his situation in a draper's shop owing to the strange mistakes he made from a want of the faculty of colour. He once sold a person some scarlet .plush to match some green unmentionables; and having one time left his top-coat at an inn, and, on going to inquire fur it, told the wai ter it was either a snuff-brown or an olive-green. He had visited tbe.Blind Asylum in this town, and had found that all persons born blind, or . who had become blind before they were four yeare old, had the organ of colour exceedingly small indeed. 'This was a striking fact. Colour was placed in the middle of the eye . undere he eyebrow. The next was the organ of number. Sums savages could not remember to any extent, The negroes men had been said not to be able to number beyond 5.. Newton possessed this faculty largely. It was shown in a swelling out of. the eyebrow at the outside. George Biddy, at the age of 7 years or under, could • multiply three- lines of ten figures each, amounting to ten billions, in his:head sooner than any one could do it on a state. Some could not multiply. at all : he would answer for it there-were some in that lecture eoom,who could not go through their multiplication table. Wherever a man was gifted with this faculty very largely the. external angle of the eyebrow, nearly on a level with the pupil, of the eye, would be very much enlarged. They had a special faculty, which collected together all these perceptions, and formed them into an image which the mind could store up, and call back at. any future period. This was . individuality. If this faculty was very larg,9ly developed in any person, it looked at images without looking at any anything else. It sees everything, but never thinks of the relation ef one thing with another. .Ladies -with this faculty would notice every article of, dress in.a ball room, but the why or wherefore they could not tell. These• were a eia.se of people ever ready to form images, and the faculty was developed above the nose. It was also necessary that.we should compute time. Men were not always stored with watches and clocks, but were obliged to ,have recourse to their own percep tion§ of the way in which time passed. They would find a great difference in people in this faculty. Many people had not any difficttlty in the mechanical part of music, or in the mo dulation of tone, but had the,greatest difficulty ju keeping time. But in some people this was a perfect faculty. He knew some people Who could compute distance of time to •a few minutes, froth, the sun, and would complete a journey to within five minutes of the time they would fix for it. ()tilers had no com putation of time at all, and were never punctual. This faculty was placed over colours. By a singular coincidence it was fermed by the anterior part of the convolution which manifested The next faculty was, order. It was a primitive faculty. Some peopleweee extremely orderly, some as disorderly as could be. Some pereodecould never keep things in order,.and others were ahsolutely pained when things w ere no t i n order. This orgati was placed betvreennumher and colour.. In those amongst whom it was uncommonly manifested,, it tended to throw up the eyebrow. Some men had eyebrows arched natnrally towards the outward side. Men who, were satirical or witty hadehat arch. What was it that enabled. pigeons to fly thousands.of miles over tracts of water, and country they had never seen ? It was said to be the faculty of location of things ,in space. Gall fopridehat when a bey 'he never could find a bird's nest again; but he bad a ecboolfellow who never missed to take him to . t he place. They coold-not have a stronger specimen of this • than in Hoffman, the blind traveller. This was. the organ of above si ze . , H e th oug h t t h at space ltscality. and was situated a would be abetter term than size, but it was an organ which wanted to be inure accurately.defined. Those who had it large wuts id find it stretch up to the middle of the forehead like two horns- Where locality exists at gives a desire to travel. The , next quality was eventuality. It gave the desire to acquire knowledge. Where they found the forehead ex ceedingly.flat,. there they would find .a want of this power. It was the connecting link between the reflecting and perceptive powers. .It was situated above individuality, in the middle of the l 4 patient ,who fanciedhe was twelve miles fro re o l : ea wh d ere ,He be was, a but who in ather.respects was quite sensible. After his death he examined his head, and found that there, as a large hydatid, occupying. the whole, space of eventuality. Why did not this hydatid destroy other parts of theenind, and interfere with colour and firm? Simply because one.part of the brain manifests one faculty, and one part another. Some men had a powerful faculty of discriminating sounds. Some men had a much finer perception of sounds than others. Some men, though with as fine ears as other men, Could never discriminate between discord and concord. Mr. Rumball introduced a num ber of instances of this faculty largely developed,,Handel for instance. - This faculty was situated in the external angle of the eye, in a direction upwards. Where, there was a- decided want of this faculty they would not only find the forehead flat, but sometimes absolutely a hollow. Im'tation was the-next faculty which was largely developed in ch ldren. It was situated on either side of benevolence. The mockieg bird had this faculty very large., The elephant was no imitator, but no doubt with ether animals had the iudiments of the faculty. He did not know but animals had the rudiments of every faculty. It was in the amount only that they differed from man. ' Some men had the powers of ,memory to such an extent, that they could mimic every thiniet hey saw. This faculty was situated on each side of the bead, between wonder and beneiolence, going up to renera Lion. After they had seen objects. it was necessary that they s h ou ld compare things with one another. , This faculty gave judgment; the want of it led to forming hasty sophisms. Wit was the next quality. What was wit. Wit was the discovery of incongruity where congruity was expected, and where you expected things to resemble each other you found a difference. flit was placed at the external superior angle of the forehead. It was necessary man should have the power to communicate his thoughts to his fellows., It was a power which animals and birds possessed; man only possessed the power of coigning signs and symbols, Lanyuage was a faculty which enabled man to spealeto his fellow-roan. There was no greater mistake.than to suppose that. being full of ideas, and being capable of speaking were the same thing. They would have one man who could -talk an hour about nothing; another Mall who was full of ideas, and yet be was wanting in the selection of words to give them ,Utterance. Some men could get up in the House of Commons ,and speak against time for an hour, and when their speech was examined it was absolutely nothing. In all great orators noto rious for facility of speech they would find the eyes prominent. Where the eyes were sunken,,not,because the brows projected, they would find with such a conformation ideas communicated with difficulty. Lavater ascribed this faculty to the month. He paid they would find all good speakers with thin lips and long mouths. But Lavater was fanciful. Wherever they found language strong, they found the eyes prominent, as in Voltaire. He had now got through the dull part of phrenology—the detail. What was the' use of knowing things unless they knew why such and such things were, and why they happened. Unless men asked why things happened they would never - be phrenologists. Thee were laughed at for this doctrine; but when their oppo nents brought as many facts as Gall and Spurzheim to prove their theory wrong, they would then have some right to laugh at them. In proportion to this faculty of enquiry into cause and effect, would be the man's faculty o f p h i l osophy. Those who - have had this faculty largely developed, tied a large upper f ore head; but when it retreated in towards the eyebrow, it showed deficiency of the perceptive powers. .This erean was called t h e organ of causality. , Blind people generally had the reflective powers very large, because their perceptive -faculties coul;lnot philosopher which was th e fully apply, owing to their want of vision. This faculty i n it s e n t i l an th c e ould attain; b ecause h e b ad s hh h il i hi : v ee n sslt th en e hra tri not gain knowledge, and misdi rected, it was the blind leading the blind. The perceptive facul ties did not reflect, and it was the reflective faculties which raised us in the scale of intelligence. It was these faculties which corrected religious feeling. Without these reflective faculties we should-all, atop in the same state of savageness in which beasts .are. After tome remarks on the classification of the faculties and sentiments, which he condemne d, till perfect certainty ahould be attained in the knowledge of the various o rg ans, h e exhibited several heads, of the Greek or Caucasian variety o the human race,and compared them with the heads of savages. In, the former, the reflective faculties were largely developed ; in the latter they were shaved off. It would be as impossible for a man with such a formed retreating forehead to become a philosopher, as for a monkey• He might be shrewd a n d can nine, but be never could become intellectual.* *We resume our remarks on Mr. Rumball's lectures. In nor last paper we contended, that instead of phre n o., gv go i ng on " the Newtonian doctrine of deductions :from facts," it was opposed to facts throughout, and that facts tended to-prove the brain to be one organ only, and not a plurality of organs. One of Mr. .Rumhall's arguments in favour of this plurality was, that in genius we must have Hen clever in all things, which was not the fact. if we did not suppose the brain to be divided into faculties. and one of these faculties to be the seat of genius, which was the case as one man had a genius for music, ,another•for poetry, &c. We ventured to assert a contrary belief, and in- THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. stanced the cobbler, who, we contended, if hi s m i n d were so di -reefed; was capable of - attaining aa - muctrperfection in fiddling as in cobbling. At this Mr. Rumball affects to laugh. klovs - ever, we wit! inquire into it: We think it will be.grant ed that all men have a capacity for doing all things, it' their minds be trained to any one of these things; and that the dif ference in - mei, is but 111 cbe degree in which they ran attain perfection in anything. PhrenolOgists grant, and in fact there is abundant proof of it, that the brain enlarges with exercise .like any .other part of the body. to which continual exertion drives continual large streams of blood. "Practice Makes per fect," has also become a proverb. We do not for ail Instant deny that some men are born with greater capacity than others — a greater degree of comprehensiveness; and souse with a greater power than other men of exercising their iminds—a kind of innate energy WhiCh never lets the mind be indolent, a.and that when these two qualities are combined, we have geniuses and men of extraordinary acquirements and ability. That men, some from.accideut, some from choice, and some from a violent inclination which surm oun ts a ll o b s tacles; fre quently apply their whol e minds to some one study and occu pation; and the natural result is perfectio n in that to - Which they apply themselves, in• proportion to the zeal' and perse verance of the application. The phrenolOgist denies this. Un less a man has the developed faculty, he never can become eminent in. the art which that faculty takes cognizance of.' What does this amount to? That a man with very small con-; structiuviess, (or instance, can never build a hut, yet if he tries to do it, the brain does grow; if he exercises coristi ucticeness the blood will flow there, and constructiveness Will grow till it becomes a big hunipz•awl then the man who never could build a .hut, will. be able to build palaces ! Therefore, practice creates the faculty. The cobbler if he fiddles, may as reasonably ex pect to fiddle well as to 'cobble welt, or, in other words, a man has only to-turn his attention to anything, whether' he has the faculty for it or not, and he will attain perfection in it in pro portion to the intensity of his attention. But the phrenologist' will say, he will not be able to give thUattention unless he has the faculty? • This we deny,.,as •we shall show. What was it made Demosthenes an orator but this?. What makes the blind capable of doing the same things as those with sight, but that' the brain in its unity devoid of the means of perception, applies itself with double intensityto the senses that remain. Again, ac 'cording to the phrenologist's theory, all'l'ltrks4nust be geniuses in every thing; poets; musicians; engineers, 'architects; and in the lower propensities must be complete geniuses - in that wa'y, .or,be the perfection of everythina vicious: For Aare brain lie as it were alielb, bedding out faculties, all over its surface,. which is the doctrine of the phrenologists, the Turk who possesses a perfectly round head, must of necessity possess all faculties fully and equally developed. Whitst on the other hand, 'if we turn our . attention to the continent of Ame rica, the- Peruvians have their occiput completely flat tened, therefore have no amativenes and no Philoproye nitiveness ; yet the race continues! Again, the whole of the forehead is flattened back towards the top of the head,' which is' cone shaped 'thereby, and vet these people are 'nht ' wanting in intelligence or intellect, but history tells are a high minded, and 'intellectual race. But what has here become of the faculties Of the phrenologist ? It is true, that this shaped head is brought on by artificial ineans—bycompreision. but yet, where are the faculties ? ' They are kept in the bulb of the ' brain ; like Yorick's starling, " they can't get out;" 'but yet they act as well inside the brain as out. Is not this an argu ment against phrenOlogy—that compress facultiei as you Will, you cannot compress the brain itselfsinaller, which acts in unity, whether squeezed out of its natural shape Or *not. Mr. Rum ball-affected to make very light' of Dr. Macartney's fact of a than being no worse in intellect, for having had a pitch fork run up his nose, and into the'top of the skull, and losing a quantity of brain, and said; '" the reason why . his mental faculties were not disturbed was, beeeuse the other parts of the brain could perform their faculties." Just so. But if the phrenological theory be true, the man's reflective powerS; and his perceptive powersonust - have been totally deranged, and the rest of his brain only would act was well as ever. In writing on this sub ject, Dr. Roget, of London, who, we believe, is a member of -the tew London University, says, " The truth is, that there is not a single part of the encephalon which has not, in' one case or other, been impaired, destroyed, or found defective, without any apparent change in the sensitive ' intellectual, or mo ra l fa culties." Does this not g o t o move, that'the whole brain in its unity is only affected by injury in degree, and that a small part of the bruin is capable of all the functions of the whole brain, as proved by Flourens, hi his experi ments, an d t h at i n j ury only affects or impairs its power? and that on the " Newtonian doc trine of deduction from facts" the phrenological theory falls to the ground. Mr. Rumball challenges the opponents 'of the phrenological hypothesis to bring forward facts as Gall and Spurzheim have done, and then they will be entitled to deny their theory. This has been done over, and over again, and triumphantly, but this affects not the phrenologists; they go stumbling on, blinded boa theory with which they are fully pos sessed, and having which, they think, they alone can see. We brought forward a few facts, tending to show the unity of b o th the cereb rum , an d t h e cere b ellum in their separate functions, and we will bring forward a few more. The phrenologists have given the faculty of amativeness to the cerebellum. M. Flourens' experiments - on pigeons tended to show that it was the b ra i n which regulated moti o n ; th a t on cut ti n g a small portion of it away, the pigeon staggered, but could walk; on cutting more, that it had to balance itself with its wings and tail, until at length, as he took away more, and more, it became incapable of any motion, though its other faculties of hearing, seeing, &c., were not at all affected. Therefore, this is the brain of motion. Now, then, as to its being the organ of arnatieettess. The frog of all reptiles, has been found most unequivocally to exhibit .thi s feeling, and in the frog th e c e re b e ll um has.been - found so exceed ingly 'small, that its • very existence has been, till lately a matter of dispute. N ow , thi s is the beit defin e d organ the phrenologists have.' 'Either it is the organ of amativenes s , or it is not; if it is th e o rg a n ,' th e f rog i sama ti ve w ith ou t i t, and must therefore have some other faculty for it, and in that ease phrenology is wrong; and if it is not the organ as the frog 'would lead us to conclude, the phrenologists' theory says it is, and is therefore wrong. At the late Meeting, of the British As. &relation. Dr. Crlisle exhibited several remarkable mal-formd lions of the human cerebellum. He produced 'the cast of the cerebellum of a female of weak intellect, which was remarkably small, not larger than the size of an ordinary walnut, and which was completely inferior to the cerebrum, or buried beneath it, and therefore could give no actual developement of the organ of amativeness, but the female exhibited unequivocal signs of the possession of the faculty to an estraiirdinai v degree. The small cerebellnm therefore aid-not show the want of intuitiveness in this instance, whichis . contrary to phrenology. 'The woman was wanting in intellect and she was wanting in cerebelluntond the natural conclusion would he, on Gall's theory, the cerebel lum was therefore the organ of intellect. Dr. Carlisle produced another cast of:the cerebellum of a man, one half of which was completely deficient, and the other half very small; arid yet. there was surgical evidence to prove that the animal passions of the individual were strong. Dr. Carlisle also cited a great number of cases in which there was a deficiency of cerebellum, and at the same time the existence of extraordinarily strono animal passions. What do these cases' tend to prove? that the theory of the phrenologists that the passion of amativeness is lodged inthe cerebellum is not on the Newtonion principle of deduction from facts. The phrenologists state that the skull. is formed on the brain and takes its shape, and that therefore the protuberances on • the skull indicate similardevelopements of brain underneath. This we deny ascontrary to anatomical fact. The skull is much thicker at the parts where ossification commences, and protuberances will appear there where there are, none underneath. The anatomist. also discovers a large frontal sinus, or receptacle for the blood from the brain, the size orwhich must.be according, to the size of the arteries which supply the brain, and therefore the space which it occu pies between the brain and the skull the phrenologist cannot tell, and by consequence, the brain underneath it is not deve loped in its exact shape on the skull. Mr. timbal' cited an instance of extraordinary affection in a mother for her son, and on her death an abcess was found in her organ of philoprogeni tiveness.. This was conclusive that the phrenological theory was right. In his Tuesday's lecture he cited a case which came under his own observation of a man who fancied he was twelve miles from the place where he actually was, and al though he heat d the tower bells he was persuaded' he was not in London, though in other respects sensible. On his death he found a large hydatid occupying the space of erentuallity. " W hy," asks Mr. 'tumbril!, "did not this by datid destroy other part s o f t h e m i n d , an d i nter f ere w i t h co l o ur and form ? Simply because one part of the brain manifests one faculty, and another another." Dr. Haslem has cited a case of a young woman, aged twenty, who was mad, and whose madness was occasioned by religious enthusiasm and a too fi 0- quent attendance on conventi c l es. Sh e was continually terrified with the most alarming apprehensions for the salvation of her soul and sang, wept, and prayed alternately. After continuing in this state for some time she died. Her head was examined, and it was found -that the pia mater, or membrane investing the different convolutions of the brain was inflamed, and an extra 'sevated blotch, about the size of a shilling, was seen upon the membrane, in the middle of the lateral part of the right lope of the cerebrum. To what conclusion does this lead? Simply that if there be any faculties at all, secretiveness is the proper faculty of veneration, for secretiveness was diseased; and secondly, that there is no duplicity of organs, or secretiveness on the left side would have properly carried on the functions of the part whilst its duplicate organ was diseased, on the right, as in the case of the eyes, when one is diseased the other acts for both. There fore on both these points phrenology is without foundation. Mr. Stone, in 1829, read before the medical society of Edin burgh, of which he was president,' a paper containing "Some observations on the phrenological developement of Burke, Hare, and other atrocious murderers; also, measurements of the most notorious thieves confined in the Edinburgh gaol and bridewell, and of various individuals, English, Scotch, and Irish, -presenting an extensive series of facts subversive of phrenology." He demonstrated . that in fifteen murderers, se lected chiefly for-their notorious blood-thirstiness and depravity, every one of them had the organ of destructiveness absolutely less than the average of ordinary heads ; that thirteen of theni had it relatively less, when compared'with the whole contents of the _skull. He further showed that twelve of these men had the or gan of benevolence more largely developed than the average, 4hat their conscientiousness was also full, and.that the skulls ge nerally exhibited no remarkably deficiency of brain before the ear, or preponderance of deYelepernent in the region to which the animal propensities are referred. He took the measurements of the skull of Dr. David Gregory, who had been Profressor of Mathematics in the University of Edinburgh, and who was subsequently appointed Savilian ProfesSor of Astronomy at Ox ford, and who was the distinguished friend and companion of , Sir Isaac Newton, and the learned author of several valuable workson mathematical science, and amen of high moral, and in tellectual virtue. In his skull the organ of destructiven l e y s d s e was sd n , a e its real size, larger than the same organ in the heads of th e mur derers included in the induction, and in proportion to the gene ral Anderson, sizeof the Glen, brain, Balfour, large Pepe,r than Mortimerthe saute Collins,i Burke, c Hoggart, and Divan. His organ of combativeness was larger than every one .of the murderers. His organ of acquisitiveness was Abe same as Balfour's, and larger than the same organ in Gordan, M'Kean, and Haggart, who were noted thieves. His organ o r secretiveness was larger than each of the murderers. 13iirke had the organ of benevolence in absotuter size, the same as the professor; .four other murderers nearly the same, and seven others actually larger; and in proportion to the size of the entire brain, eleven nut of the twelve had benevolence larger' than the learned, and virtuous professor! Clydesdale, and Kerr, had the organ of conscientiousness larger than the profes sor, and in proportion to the entire brain, Burke, Anderson, Gordan, and several of the others had it greater than the Doctor. Four of the murderers had the intellectual organs the same as the professor, three •nearlf the same,' and three absohnely larger.. Haggart, Scott, Anderson, Glen, Balfour, Macmillan, and several other degraded men, and murderers, had causality, the organ of reasoning, larger than the professor: and the same men were found to have the animal propensities less developed ! Mr. Stone then moved, !hat according to the phrenologists' doctrine of faculties, Voltaire should have been a better mur derer titan Thurtell. and a .greater theif thau Haggart; and that Haggart possessed more wit than Sheridan. ThidThurtell, with veneration large, benevolence very large, and adhesi renes. , very large, must have been a religious, pions, and amiable ma n , totally incapable of outraging the laws of God, or murdering_ one, whom he had so long considered, and called his friend ! Yet, phrenologists, in the Phrenological Journal, vol. 1. p. 331, have attempted to reconcile Thurtell's actual character with these eeveloitements. according to their theory; and this is it: `•'l'he murder committed by Tlturtell was a predetermined, cold blended deed ; nnthin can justify it. Revenge against Weary, for having gambled tiro successfully, and, as he imagined, un fairly with him, prompted it ; but there is every probability that Thorten laid the unwariantahle unction to his soul, that he would -do a service to others by destroying Weave. He considered Weare as a complete rascal, one who had rot:bed many as well as himself; and one, who, if he had lived, would have robbed m an y more!!! " A theory," says Mr. Percival B. Lord, in his treatise on " Popular Physiology," "which Lan thus convert benevolence, into the active cause of murder, needs no further examination on these grounds, 'by its fruits ye shall know it.'" We shall, perhaps. lecur to this subject again with a few more facts, if Mr. Rumba I! is not satisfied. And now let us see what is to be " inferred fin the 'Newtonian principle of deduction from facts,", on the facts which we have stated. First, that non-develope-. tent of a faculty does not preclude a man from acquiring per-' feet ion in that which the want of .the factiltv would denote that he could not. Therefore phrenological judgment of capacity . is futile. Secondly. that the phrenological theory of accounting for geniuses is without foundation, or all Turks would be geniuses in every thing. Thirdly, that the faculties are at work, whether developed or not, and are 1111 t necessarily dere'oped, else won't' the high-minded' Incas of Peru have no intellectual faculties, awl none of the , propensities whirl tend to the continuance of the race. .Fourthly,-that all parts of the brain have . been in, jured, without any of the faculties being injured particularly, and that the only result has been, when the injury has been etc , tensive, that all the faculties have been affected by losing power. That therefore the brain, instead of being - divided into organs, is essentially one organ. Fifthly, that the cerebellum is not the seat otamativeness, and that no such faculty abides there as the phrenologists state: Sixthly, that the skull is not iho • prototype of the brain, and• that, therefore, judgments formed -from it of the brain, are very likely to lie erroneous. Seventhly, that injuries have been foun - d in one organ which affected facul ' ties given to dthers distant from it, and that, therefore, either the organ is wrong named,. or the hypotheses on which it• is • named is altogether wrong; and eighthlv, that the vile'st faculties . base been found in the best-men, and the most exalted faculties 'have been found in thieves and murderers, and. therefore, the resumption is, that the whole phrenological system is a pretty theory and nothing more, which is set up contrary to facts, and which "the Newtonian principleof deduction from facts" com pletely overturns. .4* 7 ERRA rA.—ln our last remarks on Mr. Rumball's lectures, there were several errors of the press, arising out, of hasty reading, some of which materially affect the sense. For " the cerebrum of a bird being cut away by degrees, affecting its powers of motion by degres,'.' read "cerebellum.": Instead of. "that of each hemisphere of the brain was enough for the performance of all its functions,"- read ." that part of each hemisphere," &c. Instead of " we have several cases to quote to prove this portion as well founded," read "this position as well founded." Import 0. TVES',7' INDIES A VD M. 4 DEI 11_4 . . Parker.

On the following morning, before daylight, it came ,to . a very thick snow shower, which lasted for some time, and on its clearing oil land was observed close to them, when they endeavoured to wear, but soon discovered on her lee bow a rock, which they tried by all possible means to weather, butcould not. She struck about a quarter past six o'clock in the morning, broadside on, with great violence, the sea • making a complete breach over her; and in less than six minutes she became a total wreck. The only one of the crew who saved himself to relate the melancholy occurrence is James Gilchrist, who miracu lously escaped.

On Tuesday evening last we had a recurrence of frost with increased severity, which has continued during the whole of the past week,with a slight fall of snow, and has of course more than ever increased the impediments tto our communication with the country by water, and although 'easterly winds have causal a very limited importation of 'Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, the demand has been very much stagnated, and restricted to immediate wants; and sales to a very moderate ex , tent have been made of every article of the Corn Trade, at about our last quotations, which have been barely obtainable. The duty op Wheat from foreign ports is since Friday decreased Is. pet quarter, and 7id per barrel on Flour; on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, and Beans it is increased Is Gd per quarter,—on other Grain no alteration ;—the transactions in bonded Grain and Flour have been very trivial—chiefly owing to a scarcity of fine qualities ; a little fine sweet red Baltic Wheat has been taken for export to British America at 5s 3d per 701 b, of European,Flour at 27s per barrel, and of fine 'heavy foreign Oats at 2s 10d to 3s per 451 b ; very fine Dutch Brew would command our, highest quotations. Since yesterday morning we have had a rapid thaw-, the continuance of which, (though doubtful,) with the expectation of more abundant supplies from Ireland. caused a very dull market this day ; sales were with difficulty effected of the best new Irish Wheat at a reductionlof Id to 2d per - 201bs, and although we can make no decided alteration in our quotations of other articles, purchases might have been thereof made at a small decline WHEAT, 411 701 b 8 .

We have had a very moderate supply of Beasts at market to-day, and the quality has been generally pretty good. The market in the morning was rather dull, in consequence of the buyers not being willing to secede to the advanced prices of the salesmen, but in the afternoon they gave way, and many country buyers being present, made it a tolerable brisk market. Of Sheep we have had a very good supply for the season of the year, and they do not as yet decrease in price, fully maintaining our last week's quotations. Good Beef may be quoted at from 5d to 6d, with a few of inferior quality at 4id per lb. Good Wether Mutton sold readily at 7d, with some of inferior quality and Ewes at from 6d to Fid per lb.

Although the thaw has continued yet the Thames is so much blocked with floating ice, that not a single vessel laden with grain h as as yet arrived. Our market to-day was very thinly attended, an d there was, perhaps, less business transacted than on any market day previously this season, as the buyers are all holding off until the navigation is clear, and the expected arrivals come to hand, conse. quently the trade generally ruled extremely dull, and last week's prices were with difficulty obtained for any article: • • LONDON COLONIAL MARKET.
