Those sailors who for pleasure go, And take so much delight Their skill to try when winds are high, Should st.e that all is right. If a mista• e they chan - c`e to make, And sails upset the boat. For trips so gay their lives must pay, nle-s like Wood they tic at. The day we name the tempest came, Each swelling wave ran high; But Mr. Wood, with courage good, Did swelling waves defy. The wind it blew, the Midge she flew, Each wave broke on her deck, Till at the la t a sudden blast Made her a total wreck. The boat she sank, and every plank Deserted Mr. Wood, And left him there, upon the M. re*, To shift as best he could. And strange to tell, he • hilted well, For he took in each hand An oar strong, and he swam along In hopes to reach the land. With spirit bold he kept his hold Amidst his watery way ; He had no fear but he could steer, And land about the Wrayt. But glad am I he'd not to try His skill upon the raft, For such a day and length of way Required a better craft. While hope and fear around the Mere Fill'd many a breast with awe, A gallant boat which was afloat Did to his succour draw. The surge ran high, the low'ring sky Seemed on destruction bent, Yet without fear the crew drew near. And a willing hand they le , t. - He took his leave, nor did he grieve, Nor hat nor wig deplore; He left his raft for a better craft, And he landed safe on shore. Ambleside.

The sheep that treads the thorny brake Some portion of its fleece shall shed— All things that move on land or lake, Are by some secret influence led.

Mount Grace Abbey: a Poem. By the Rev. dames Holme, A. 8., Vicar of Kirkleatham ; author of " Lei „ . sure Musings,” " Memoir of Mrs. Presgrave," &c. London : W. E. Painter, 342, Strand. We took up the little volume before us with an expec tation, induced by its title, that the story and incidents would be directed to illustrate this fine old relic of the monastic ages, and to paint the splendid scenery by which it is surrounded. In this, however, we were disappointed, the incidents having no relation to Mount Grace, except that the first canto narrates the death of its founder, the Earl of Surrey. and that the remainder assume the form of " lays," recited, by a minstrel who has taken refuge there, for the edification of the worthy priors assembled within its walls. Canto second is devoted to a narrative of the life of the minstrel himself, with a description of part of the magnificent scenery bordering the east coast of Yorkshire from Whitby to the Teesmouth. The re maining four cantos contain some stirring details of the wars of Edward the Fourth, concluding with a descrip tion of the Battle of Crecy, and the subsequent marriage of his noble son, Edward the Black Prince. The versification and form of the work are after the manner of Sir Walter Scott ; and although its reverend author never approaches closely the excellence of the model which he has chosen, he has succeeded in produ cing several fine descriptive and other passages, which, if not highly poeti, al, ate marked by great chasteness of feeling and perception of the beautiful. Some of the sacred melodies, with which the first and second cantos are interspersed, are elegantly and forcibly written. As a whole, indeed, " Mount Grace Abbey " is a creditable production, although we rather question whether its reve rend author, in producing it, has selected the line best suited for the display—or most likely to conduce to the usefulness—of his evident talents, and particularly of that research in historical and theological subjects which ap pears in the notes to this volume. The Chimes : a Goblin Story. By Charles Dickens. London : Chapman and Hall. " Another Christmas Carol ! " was the involuntary exclamation of all the 'reading world, young and old, grave and gay, on perusing the announcement of this little volume ; and puzzled and curious were all to learn what could be the story of " some bells that rang an old year out and a new year in." By this time tens of thou sands—literally tens of thousands—have gratified their curiosity. We have ourselves read it twice, for a reason which we shall presently inform our readers, who must not, by the bye, suppose that we are here about to present to them the book iteef, as some critical people are in the habit of doing when a popular author is in the case, but merely to express our opinion of its artistic merits. We have read the work twice over, then, because a first perusal impressed us with the idea that it was not quite equal to Mr. Dickens' former productions, and was espe cially inferior to his " Christmas Carol." Not that we failed to observe, in some of the characters delineated, the fine hand of the painter of Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit, Tom Pinch and the sweet little Ruth. Trotty Veck is a thorough Boz, an undoubted original. We have met with coarse specimens of the character in actual life again and again ; but Trotty is its spiritualization —a concentration of the excellencies of the entire genus, di vested of that portion of it which is, in an offensive de gree, "of the earth, earthy." Meg Veck, his daughter, is such a creation as the genius of Dickens only has suc ceeded in pourtraying ; and Richard and poor Lilias are equally fine specimens of his pencil. But with some of the other and repulsive characters we were not satisfied, nor were we with the framework of the story. Mr. Dickens' bells, though sweet, we thought were ' jangled out of tune" ; and we set about another perusal to satisfy ourselves. That second perusal, we must say, has not satisfied us, although, like a second and a third perusal of every book of this writer, it has disclosed to us a hundred beauties unnoticed in the first—a hundred fine tints and shades of colouring—a hundred scintillations of creative genius —a hundred finely-drawn traits of character, which, like the paintings of a Landseer or a Wilkie, only shew their dis tinctive and minute beauties after we have mastered the effect of the whole, and are scrutinising the execution of the parts. Thus, in the somewhat repulsive character of Will Ferns, the discontented, threatening labourer, and at last the incendiary, we are brought to recognise an under-stratum of noble humanity which prompts him to undertake, with his straitened means and almost hopeless prospects, the care of his brother's orphan child—the germs of a nature made for better things ; and are com pelled to acknowledge and deplore that vicious system of treatment of the class to which he belongs, which drags down so large a portion of it to a felon's practice and a felon's doom. Lillian the beautiful, whose fall we have too hastily set down to the imrulse of womanly vanity and weakness, becomes more worthy of our sympathy and pity, when we reflect upon the disproportion of the burthens which she had to bear to the strength of the nature which had to bear them. Perhaps, tao, the pic ture held out to us may teach us to visit less uncharitably the errors of her sex. Still, however, a few of the other characters introduced remain, what they were perhaps intended for, caricatures. As a whole, we cannot yet think these " Chimes" equal to the average of Mr. Dickens' writings. There is, how ever, a fine healthy rein of morality and genuine philan thropy running through them, and a genuine English reprobation of the heartless quackeries of Malthusianism, as well as of the more estimable, so far as motive and feeling are concerned, although ill-directed projects of that new party amongst us which would give the agricul tural labourer a cricket ball or a May-pole when his fa mily wants a loaf, and the artizan the knowledge of the Athenteum or the Mechanics' Institute when his more urgent need is a knowledge of his own nature and of his God. Monastic InstilutionB ; their Origin, Progress, I%ature, and Tendency. By Samuel Phillips Day, lately con nected with the Monastery of the Presentation Order at Youghal. Dublin : Curry and Co. ; London : Longman and Co. 1811. The writer of this book is a young man, who has seen the errors of Popery, and has become acquainted with a better way. His " local habitation" while in the service of Rome was at Youghal, where, our readers may remem ber, a bungling attempt at miraculous power was made some time ago in a monastery. On that occasion the editor of an English paper, conducted by Roman Catho lics, and favourable to Romanism, was obliged, after a personal examination of the whole matter, to retire with horror and di'gust. In this town Mr. Day was located as a member of a monastic body. That he had opportu nities of knowing something of the system, cannot be denied ; for his intimate connexion with the daily working of the whole process of monastic duties would at once give the lie t o suc h a d en i a l . I n order to be of some ser vice to . the good c. , use which is now the child of his adop tion, he gives his undivided attention to the consideration of the monastic orders from their earliest period down to the present day ; and he publishes the result of his labours in a condensed form, not omitting to put on record his own experience, and to introduce us into the penetralia of modern monachism. We take for granted that his evidence is worthy of respect, as the reverend gentleman who has kindly written a preface to the work, states that " he bears an unsullied character.". further says— " The impression left upon my mind is, that he is per fectly conversant with the subject ne has taken in hand, and that he has seceded from the ranks of the Apo s t acy with a character even a bove suspicion." We in not to expect a laboured history of re li g ions houses" nn work upon so limited a scale ; but it would appear that it con tains information sufficient to let us into the secrets of monachism, and to give us a " shurthand " view of its " origin, progress, nature, and tendency." The very fact that he himself was, for a long period, a part and parcel of much that he relates, gives an interest to this little volume not to be expected in a production written by a person educated in an opposite creed. We have read it under this impression, and examined it with correspond ing attention. We trust that may fall into the hands of many Protestants. who are either ignorant of the sys tem it denounces, or unwilling to allow that Popery, under its different phases, is so bad as it is represented. Study ing this as a kind of elementary work, they may be led to drink deeper, and to study more attentively, the history of papal doctrines and papal ambition, until at last the nakedness of the land will appear, and the true character of Roinanism, now so rampant and aspiring, wll become developed. We might give some interesting extracts, characteristic of the unscriptural and antiscriptural dog mas of monachis-n, but our limits will not permit us. The work itself is worthy of a perusal, and we hope that it will be favourably received by all, who, on the one hand, love the truth, and are valiant for the truth; and, on the other hand, are anxious to see a fai; exposure of a system, which labours incessantly to neutralize the re vealed word of God, and to substitute in its place the doctrines and commandments of fallible man. SELECTIONS. THE QUADRILLE-FOR NAUTICAL MEN. The following excellent directions'to nautical dancers, which originally appeared in the Bombay Courier, may be useful to a poi tion of our readers at this festive season. Le Pontalon.—Haul upon the starboard tack, let the other craft pass, then bear up, and get your head on the other tack, regain your berth on the larboard tack, bay-•k and-fill with your partner, box-haul her, wear round twice against the sun, in company w ith the opposite craft and your own, afterwards box-haul her again and bring up. L'Ete,—Shoot a-head about two fathoms till you nearly come stern on to the other craft under weigh, then make a stern board to your berth, side out for a bend, first to starboard and then to port, make sail and pass the other craft, get your head round on the other tack, another side to starboard, and port, make sail to regain your berth, wear round, back and fill and box-haul your partner. La Poule.—Heave a-head and pass your adversary, yard-arm and yard-arm, re2ain your berth on the other tack in the same order, take your station in the line, your partner, back and fill, fall on your heel; and bring up with your partner ; she then manoeuvres a-head, heaves all a-back ; shoots a-head again, and pays off alongside ; you then make sail in company with her, till nearly stern with the other line, make a stern-board, and cast her off to shift for herself, regain your berth by the best means in your power and let go your anchor. Le Trenise.—Wear round as before against the sun twice, box-haul the lady, range up alongside her and make sail in company, when half-way across to the other shore drop stern with the tide, shoot and cast off the tow; now back and fill as before, and box-haul her and yourself into your berth and bring up. La Pastorale.—Shoot a-bead alongside your partner make a stern board, make all sail over the other coast, let go the hawser and pay off into your berth and take a turn the three crafts opposite range up a breast towards you twice and back stern again ; now manoeuvre any rig you like, only under easy sail, as it is always light wind (ze phyrs as they call it) in this passage; as soon as you see their helms down, haul round in company with them on the larboard tack, and make all sail with your partner into ycur own berth and bring up. La Finale.—Wear round to starboard passing under your partner's stern-sight, the catheads of the craft on your starboard bow, then make sail into your berth, your partner passing athwart your bows; now proceed accord ing to the second order of sailing ; to complete the evolu tions shoot a-head and back astern twice in company with the whole squadron in circular order of sailing. THE MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE.—Some Italian rhyme compares life to a wheel, which always goes round silently when it goes well. It is so with a wife. The men who live happily with their wives, and love them as they ought to do, never mention their names : never, at all events, if they do say a word or two, make them the he roes of a long story. Ergo, when a man begins to talk about his wife, she begins to be his grievance. Should such be his theme, then, when he meets you in the open unbarricaded streets of London, should the man with a grievance only start the most distant suspicion of his de sign to allude to his wife—sham a spasm ; invent an ap pointment at Buckingham palace ; vow that it is pouring witb rain and hear nothing to the contrary; remember that your grandfather, who died in 1807, was suddenly taken alarmingly ill ;—but he off ! Go, no matter which way; fly, as you would from the edge of a jungle where you espied the eyes of a famished tigress glaring through the green and yellow duskiness. But that is a poor, tame image. Stand not then upon the order of your going, but go at once, as if Lady Macbeth were holding the two daggers at your throat ! If that would not move you, you deserve to hear the whole story of a man with a griev ance, when his soul aches to impress you with the inex pressible wickedness of his wife. Yet humanity, though deeply sinful, can rarely deserve this extreme misery.— Ainsworth's Magazine. THE SURPLICE QUESTION.—I cannot dismiss this article without giving you another remarkable instance that falls within the subject of the present canon, and is also of peculiar consideration to us of this diocese, in which alone it is to be met with. It is the constant use of the surplice by all preachers in the pulpit. And it is said to have taken rise from an opinion of Bishop Cosins, that as surplices were to be worn at all times of the mi nistration, and preaching was properly the ministration of the word of God, therefore surplices were to be worn in the pulpit as well as in the desk or on other occasions of the ministry. Yet, with every respect for the opinion of so great a ritualist as Bishop Cosins, it is manifest there is nothing in our rubrics that doth directly autho rize this usage, or in our canons that doth countenance it. Nay, there is something in both which rould discou rage, if not forbid, such a practice. The canons limit the use of the surplice to the public prayers and minis tering the sacrament and other rites of the Church; so doth our rubric concerning habits, if it be strictly inter preted, of King Edward's order in the second year of his reign ; for there the surplice is only to be used at matins, evensong, in baptizing, and burying in parish churches ; and then there immediately follows this permission —that in all other places every minister shall be at liberty to use any surplice or not; and also a recommendation to such as are graduates, that when they preach they should use such hoods as pertained to their several degrees. Here, then, is sufficient warrant for using a hood without a surplice, as is done to this day at the Universities. but no appearance of authority for the use of surplices in the pulpit. All, then, that I would observe upon the custom of preaching in surplices is, that none of us are obliged to it, though at the same time I intend no censure of the practice.—Archdeacon Sharpe in 1840. CURIOUS COMBAT.—The following curious account of a combat between a monkey and a cobra da capella, was related to me by an old friend in Bengal, who heard it from a gentleman who had witnessed the fact at Patna, some thirty years ago. The monkey inhabited a large burr (Indite,) or banyan tree (flees indica,) and was pre paring to ascend it, when he perceived, near the root, a large cobra. On every attempt to approach the trunk, the snake reared its crest to attack him, and, as the mon key moved to the other side, the snake in like manner shifted his ground, so as always to intercept his advance to the tree. The monkey on this quickened its move ments, danced from side to side, and occasionally rushing directly at the snake, as if about to seize it, kept it in a state of continual action and alarm for nearly two hours. At length the cobra, apparently tired out, lay stretched on the ground. The monkey now walked leisurely before it, watching its motions all the while with the utmost vigilance, and gradually lessening the distance between them, till he arrived within retch by a single bound, when, springing on his enemy, before he had time to rear his head, grasped him firmly by the neck. The snake instantly enveloped him in its folds, but the monkey, retaining his hold, seized a brick-bat (part of the ruins of an old pagoda at the foot of the tree), and cooly set himself to work to rub against it the head of the snake. This operation was continued with the most determined perseverence, till he had utterly destroyed all vestige of the head, reducing it to a confused mass, when, disengaging himself from the now inert folds, he threw it from him, and sprang up to his wonted roost in the tree. After this, it can scarcely be questioned, that the monkey was not perfectly aware of the dangerous character of the snake, and also knew well the seat of the formidable power which his enemy possessed, and could in an instant put forth for his destruction. It also appears to prove that the larger animals, unlike the smaller ones, and small birds, are incapable of being acted upon by the power of fascination.—Medical Times. WINE AS A MEDICAL AGENT.—In his third book, Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, gives a description of the general qualities and strength of the Greek wines, and the peculiar medical virtues which they possessed. He likewise points out in what diseases, arid in what quantities, they are to be used, so as to render them salu tary and innoxious. It is remarkable —and we beg to direct the attention of Father Mathew (whom we are sorry to find what his disciples call "up the spout,") to the tact by the way, that Hippocrates rarely dire c t s wa t er alone, but almost invariably orders its exhibition with wine, or combined with honey and vinegar. Water was no doubt the basis of all his cooling drinks ; but there was always added to it a moderate proportion of the weak white wines, to render it more effectually diluting. To the infirm and valetudinarian, wine is a necessary com fort beyond all price. When a patient has been long habituated to the use of it, a change in diet cannot be suf fered without danger.—There is a remarkable instance of this afforded in the case of the celebrated physician Cor naro, who always revived after vintage, when he left off the old and decaying wines of the last vintage, and com menced drinking the new. The passage is in the account which lie gives of the rules by which he repaired his con stitution, injured as it was by excesses, till the period when he was forty years old. By the regime he pre scribed to himself, it is well known he preserved his health and spirits to the age of 100. The efficacy of his system depended on his taking a certain quantity of solids and fluids every day. The fluid consisted entirely of wine, but he gradually diminished the quantity of each as he advanced in years. During this period he enjoyed an equal state of health, except that sometimes, betore the vintage returned and the new wine was made, he quickly became so weak and languid that his physician declared he could not possibly continue to survive many days in that declining state. " But on the return of the vintage," says he, " and on taking the same quantity of new wine, I very quickly recovered my usual strength and spirits." The same effect is observed, to compare animals with men, among the mules in Jamaica. When the new sugar-canes are being gathered in, the most ex hausted animals, fed on the fresh sugar-canes, gain a re vival of strength.—Frazer. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LIVERPOOL ROYAL INSTITUTION SCHOOL -DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. The theatre of this excellent institution was crowded on Monday, with a numerous and fashionable audience — (and when we remember how many of those present were parents, brothers, or sisters of the pupils, we may say an anxious and elated audience)—to hear the aanual re citations of the pupils, and to witness the distribution of the prizes awarded to those of the pupils who had most distinguished themselves in the various branches of study. The Rev. Rector Campbell was in the chair, supported by the Rev. Rector Brooks, J. B. Yates, Esq., the Rev. Pr. Iliff, principal of the institution, &c. ; and amongst the assembly we noticed several members of the com mittee, and a number of our leading clergy and mer chants. The younger pupils of the institution occupied the space on each side of what we may call the stage, and a more lively and intelligent-looking set of boys we have rarely seen. The elder young men, including those appointed to deliver recitations, w ith the teachers, occupied the seats surrounding the stage. The first recitation—the quarrel of Brutus and Cas sius—was well delivered by Messrs. Wood and Hough ton, the former young gentleman representing the " lean and hungry Cassius," and the latter Brutus, whose dig nified rebuke of his co-conspirator was very finely and chastely given. The next--the immuring of Constance—from Sir Walter Scott's Marmion, was delivered by Mr. Wood gate with much feeling and taste, and an evident appre ciation of the author. The third recitation, " the establishment of the Areo pagus," from 2Eschylus, wts delivered very prettily, and with great appropriateness rf action, by Mr. Walrond. We never listened to a recitation of the noble strains of the Greek poets without pleasure ; and have seldom been more pleased than with the clear intonation with which this passage was given by the above-named young gen tleman. The beginning of it, we may remark, was a little marred by being delivered before the plaudits which ' greeted the preceding speaker had subsided, and the andience settled down into a quiescent state. The fourth recitation was Virgil's fine episode of Or pheus and Euridice, which was given, from Dryden's translation, by M r . Petty. The original Latin text was then delivered by Mr. Glynn ; and certainly this young gentleman's effort was a masterly one, displaying, with a thorough appreciation of the genius and sense of the author, a very tasteful regard to modulation and prosody. It is rarely that we hear an English poem recited so correctly in every respect. The action, too, of the young speaker was chaste and impressive. The fifth recitation (Marmion's Remorse) was very prettily delivered by Mr. Craig, a young pupil, upon whom and his preceptors it reflected great credit. No. 6, the Scythian Ambassadors to Alexander the Great, from the Latin of Quintus Curtius, was given in a very spirited manner by Mr. Armstrong. The next was a Greek recitation—the funeral ora tion of Pericles, from the text of Thucidides—and was given, with excellent emphasis and great clearness, by Mr. Stewart, a young pupil who has distinguished him self as the third mathematical prizeman. The best of the English recitations, in our humble judgment, was the drama of Marmion, a difficult compo sition to go through with the energy required for it, but which was very effectively delivered by Mr. Iliff, a a highly talented son of the excellent principal of the in stitution. This young gentleman, it will be observed, bore away the third prize in classics, and the second in mathematics. The next recitation, set down in the paper for Mr. Fletcher, was not delivered, owing to the state of health of that young gentleman. Mr. Fletcher took the second prize in classics. The concluding recitation was one of Macaulay's Stir ring Days of Ancient Rome, which was delivered by Mr. Boutflower, and received with great applause. This young gentleman has this year borne off from his competitors the first prize both in classics and mathematics. At the conclusion of the recitations, Dr. Iliff intro. duced the successful candidates for the prizes ; which the rev. chairman then proceeded to deliver. After compli menting Mr. Boutflower, the first prizeman, upon his having had already three times to present him similar marks of deserving, he expressed his hope and confidence that, in the university tor which he was intended, he would equally distinguish himself. Mr. Fletcaer was then presented with the second prize in classics, and it was explained by Dr. Iliff that but for the same ill-health which had prevented the delivery of his recitation, he would have been successful in carrying off a mathematical prize as well. In presenting the prize, the Rev. Chair man remarked that he knew Mr. Fletcher's father well. and valued him highly as one ever forward in the cause of benevolence. He (Mr. Fletcher, the younger) was, he was aware, destined for the university ; and he trusted that, by keeping quiet, his weak health would be restored, and that he would become a useful labourer in the high and holy calling which he had chosen. Addressing Mr. Iliff, the next prizeman in order, the rev. gentleman ex pressed himself glad to find that the worthy principal of the institution had a son so deserving and talented. He had borne off the mathematical prize, which, as be was destined for Cambridge, would be of great use to him there, as would also be his classical attainments. Mr. Stewart was then presented with the 3d Mathemati cal prize, and highly eulogized for his proficiency. His ex treme youth had been the only bar to his success in clas sics as well. We understood the Rev. Chairman to state that he was a son of our respected townsman, Mr. John Stewart. Three prizes for drawing were also awarded—the let to Mr. J. Fletcher, the 2nd to Mr. Smith, and the 3d to Mr. Branscome. At the conclusion it was announced by the Chairman that the trustees of the Canning statue had intimated their intention to present £340 to the institution, to be laid out in a scholarship, provided the proprietors would' make up the sum to £5OO, which he trusted would be done. Dr. Iliff remarked that to compensate for the present want of scholarships, an effort was making by a number of young gentlemen, who had themselves been pupils, to raise a fund to provide some more substantial marks of proficiency than the books which, at present, were all which they could afford to give, and that a consi derable fund had already been raised. By the exertions of the same parties he hoped that a second scholarship would be in operation next year. The Rev. CHAIRMAN then addressed the assembled pupils in a feeling and beautiful speech ; and, after thanks being voted to himself, the Rev. Principal, and the Com mittee of the Institution, this most gratifying meeting terminated. SENSIBILITY OF THE EYE.—Public opinion, which on medical subjects is generally erroneous, although for the most part founded on professional authority, is, in no instance, more injurious than in relation to the eye. It pronounces it to be an organ of a very delicate nature, exquisitely sensitive, requiring the greatest delicacy of touch, and the utmost nicety of management ; which opi nion some oculists formerly found it convenient to sup port, and which the public may still continue to believe without any great disadvantage; but students in surgery must be taught otherwise. They must learn, that the eye is not so very delicate; that it will suffer more compara tive violence, with less injury, than any other organ of importance in the whole body ; that so far from being exquisitely sensitive, it is, when exposed in a healthy state, nearly the reverse, only becoming permanently so on the occurrence of inflammation; and that the ablest and most successful operators are not apparently, although they are in reality, the most tender in their proceedings. The opinion of the exquisite sensibility of the eye has arisen from the pain which is felt on the admission of a small piece of dirt, or a fly, between the eyelids ; but this occurs from a wise and preservative provision of nature, on account of the insensibility of the eye-ball itself. Let the eyelid be raised, and the same piece of dust applied to the surface of the eye, no pain, and scarcely a sensa tion, will be produced ; remove the piece of dirt, turn out the lid, and, whilst it is retained everted, place the piece of dirt upon it, no greater sensation will be induced than is felt when it is applied to the eye-ball. The infe rence is, that both surfaces, when touched separately, are nearly insensible to this species of irritation. But let the same piece of dirt be put between the eyelid and the eye ball, and the sensation produced is exquisitely painful. To give rise to this sensation, it is necessary that the two surfaces should come in contact, and that the foreign body be grasped between them.—Medical Times. PREACHERS OF THE OLDEN TlME.—Almost every one of Our most eminent preachers has been distinguished by his manner. This was especially the case with those who lived in the early dawn and growing fullness of the refor mation, That is, manner was most conspicuous when it was most wanted. The crowds that flocked round Paul's Cross, to listen to the invectives of Latimer or Jewell, presented many features of intimate resemblance to the masses who thronged the moveable pulpit of Whitfield, in Moorfields. The same ignorance, the same brutality, the same wonder, might have been traced in both. In pro ducing to these multitudes—often the rabble of license and crime—the majestic truths of religion, it is obvious that the mode of presentation would deeply influence the re ception. In this way Andrews, the learned and good, was incomparable. Colet, the Dean of St. Paul's, in 1505, was equally gifted. The illustrious Sir Thomas More thought it not beneath his dignity to praise even the la,iguage of his face. Of Donne, also Dean of St. Paul's, in the reign of James I, an exquisite sketch is given by Walton, " a preacher in earnest, weeping sometimes for his auditory, sometimes with them ; always preaching to himself, like an angel from a cloud, but in none; carrying some, as St. Paul was, to heaven in holy raptures, and en ticing others by a sacred art and courtship to amend their lives : and all this with a most particular grace and an in expressible addition of loveliness.' One of his hearers ex pressed the picturesque exhortation of his manner most forcibly, by saying, that the bystander might take notes. Look at the temple when Hooker was the master, and Travers the afternoon lecturer. It was within these mag nificent walls that the author of the " Polity" preached some of the noblest theological prose in the English lan guage. Of his manner, we have the account of a contem porary. He spoke with a gra‘ezeal and an humble voice, keeping his eyes always fixed on one place to prevent his imagination from wandering, "insomuch," says Walton, " that he seemed to study as he spake." His opponent. Travers, on the contrary, possessed the gifts which Hooker wanted ; and it was not, perhaps, altogether because they had to adopt the particular phrase, Rome in the morning, and Geneva in the evening, that the aisles of the Temple Church were crowded when Travers ascended the pulpit ; something was owing to that preference, felt insensibly by all, of the glowing utterance of our thoughts and feelings, before the calm and stately enumerations of argument or of doctrine."—Fraser's Magazine. VARIETIES. A CON FOR THE LAWYERS.—Why are counsellors' fees cheap ?—Because they are bar-gains. CONSIDERATE.—The clock at the palace of the Tuile ries is always kept five minutes too slow, in consideration, as the King cannot wait, to those whom unavoidable acci dent may have prevented from keeping their appointments. A SPLASH.—A gentleman, having fallen into the river Exe, relating it to Sir T. A., said, " You will suppose I was pretty wet." " Yes," said the baronet, " wet, cer tainly, in Exe-stream" (extreme.) NEW DOS A DOS. The pride of priests whose churches boast a steeple, Is now to turn their backs upon the peo le ! Ar,d what's the remedy ? This they have at least, That they can turn their backs upon the priest ! , RIGHT OF OPINION.—A Dutch judge, in a case before him in which the right of opinion was brought in question, it was argued for the party whose right wes questioned, that in his country (America) every man has a right freely to express his opinions. To this the judge replied, with great complacency, " 0 gall I Every man has the right, by the law, in this free Republic, to dink for himself, pro vided he dinks with the court." FALLING IN LOVE WITH A LARGE FAMILY.—There was a certain Lady Mapleberry, " with six unmarried daughters ;—one of those large, lively, goodhumoured, singing, dancing, riding, chatting families, where a young man seeking a wife is apt to fall in love with the joint stock merit and animation of the group ; and to feel quite astonished on discovering, after his union with Harriet or Jane, how moderate a proportion he has received in his lawful sixth of the music, information. accomplishments, and good-humoured gossipry of the united tribe."

DISCOVERY OF A LONG-CONCEALED MURDF:TIER Considerable sensation was produced in Chester, on Sa turday week, by the arrival of two police officers, one from Parnell, in Warwickshire, and the other from Al cester, in search of a man named James Crawley, of Par nell, charged with the wilful murder of Wm. Tilsley, also of that place, so far back as Christmas Day, 1842. The two officers named, accompanied by two of the Chester police, went to the Castle and Falcon public-house, and found the prisoner seated, with a glass of ale before him. Onbeinginformedof the charge, he exclaimed "I admit it !" and subsequently, while being handcuffed, he added, " I am a dead man." He was immediately taken before the magistrates, and 36 sovereigns and a double-barrelled pistol were found upon him. The weapon was not loaded, but a paper containing a number of balls, and a flask of powder, were found in one of his pockets. It appeared that the prisoner had formerly resided with his parents at Parnell; but, in consequence of his violent conduct, his father had forbidden him the house, at the same time pro viding for him a small cottage in the neighbourhood, and allowing him £1 per week and a horse to ride on. Not withstanding this arrangement, however, the father hav ing still reason to dread some fatal act of violence on the part of his son, had one of his farm-servants, named Tils ley, sworn in as a special constable for his (the father's) protection; and on Christmas Day, 1842, the family and a party of friends having just taken their seats at the din ner-table, the prisoner's mother suddenly started up, and said to her husband," For God's sake, go upstairs, there's James coming across the field with his gun ►o shoot some of us." The old man accordingly hurried from the apart ment, and the prisoner, who had been seen by his mother through the window advancing in the way she described, went round to the back of the house, and thrust the muz zle of his double-barrelled gun through a pane of glass. In the meantime Tilsley went out to expostulate with the prisoner, who, on seeing him, retreated a few paces, ex claiming, " It's you ; is it ?" and at the same instant fired at the unfortunate man, and shot him dead upon the spot. He then shouldered the gun, and was heard to say as he walked away, " I ' e another charge for somebody else." No one ventured to stop him. He went home, saddled his horse, rode to Tring, and there left his horse at an inn, took the train, but stopped at the first station, where be bought a pair of spectacles to disguise his person, and was heard of no more until a few days since. He has, it appears, been in the United States in the interim, but has resided ever since March last in Chester. A woman with whom he has recently cohabited in a fit of jealousy be trayed him. The prisoner, after having been duly cau tioned, signed the following declaration :—" I have to say I am guilty of what I should do again to-morrow. I did shoot the man in open day. I think I did my duty." He was ordered to be taken to Warwick, where he will un dergo further examination. In our columns a few weeks since, the attention of the community was called to the subject of the want of mar ket and other accommodations in Toxteth-park, whose population is now upwards of 50,000. We learn, with pleasure, that our fellow citizens have taken up the subject in earnest, and in the meanwhile we perceive that provision shops are erecting in that great thoroughfare, Park-road, which will shortly be completed and ready for tenants. — See advertisement. FOREIGN POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES. (From the New York Express.) We have no tables at hand to show the number of emi grants that have reached our shores for the years 1842, 3, and 4 ; but we are well assured that they will exceed that of any former year. The following is a correct table of the number of persons that have arrived from the United Kingdom of Great Britain at Canada and the United States, to say nothing of the vast number of German and cther emigrants from the Continent : Canada. United States. 1829 1830 28,000 1831 1832 1833 21,752 1834 1835 12,527 1836 1837 21,901 34,000 1838 1839 7,439 24,376 1840 22,234 41,500 1841 Total .... 321,807 .. 347,632 Average.. 26,800 28,700 It is well known that a very large portion of the emi grants that reach Canada pass directly into the United States. The average number that reached the United States direct from Britain, for 12 years prior to 1841, was nearly 29,000 a-year ; since that period the number has greatly increased. Indeed, the number that reached this port alone, from all foreign countries, has been for a sin gle year over 80,000. For 12 years, ending in 1841, the emigration from Great Britain into Canada was 321.807 Into the United States... ...... . Total.. If the number arriving in this country from Great Bri tain alone averages 28,700, it is but a moderate estimate to suppose that the whole emigration, from all countries, exceeds 50,000 per annum. As it is well known that a small proportion only are females, it may he safely calcu lated that full -10,000 are males. From this exhibit some little estimate can be made of the immense foreign vote in this country. If we take but 20,000 persons naturalised per annum throughout the United States, and calculate only 15 years, it would make the foreign vote in this country 300,000. There is every probability that the majority of the popular vote at the Presidential election will not reach 20,000. It therefore requires no ghost to rise up to acquaint us that the destinies of this mighty nation have been entirely in the hands of the foreign po pulation. How much, then, does it become that popula tion to lose their own nationality in ours, and how much does it become Americans to look vigilantly to the welfare of their own. DRIED AND PRESERVED FRUlTS.—Questions are fre quently arising as to the various descriptions of dried and preserved fruits imported into this country, those simply dried without any application of sugar or saccharine being liable to a duty of 275. 6d. the cwt., and those preserved in or with sugar to 6d. per lb., as " succades, or confec tionary, including all fruits and vegetables preserved with sugar." Some plums were recently imported into Liver pool, which were entered merely as " dried plums," for the low duty ; but the officers detained them for the duty of 6d. per pound, they being of opinion that they had been immersed in saccharine matter before being packed. The matter was referred to the practical London officers, who have decided that a portion of sugar, though small, had been used, and that, therefore, they are liable to the high duty. The use of the smallest quantity of sugar involves this duty, and there is no appeal against it. It is not generally known, that a robin redbreast is not permitted to live longer than four years. At that age, he is attacked by the younger birds, and killed. Though at other times the most pugnacious of birds, he dies unre sisting:y.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE. (IAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE '._) TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tea. This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous experiments and the most minute analysis. For another to produce the same result, he must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may never once have visited China, he must have had equal opportunities of securing to himself, its productions : with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell tea, they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture dif fering from all the others. Now as there can he but ONE REAL " H,,wqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The 499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly—even were it possible —as t 9 yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable a secret. The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe that " THE SIGNATURE THUS," Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING. Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Pack , ige. To those who drink Green Tea, " Captain Pidding's Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one estate, is recommended for it- strength and economy, and as being the purest and most wholesome Green Tea im ported from China.

Qu'un etranger qui apporte en France soit une industrie, soit des produits fabriques, dolt etre protege comme les nationaux. Qu'il ne s'agit pas dans la cause d'assurer aux demandeurs II propriete exclusive de la fabrication de Thuile de Macassar, fabric.' tion qui est qu domaine public, mais de leur maintenir leur nom commercial dont it nest permis a personne de disposer. Considerant que si les defendeurs veulent fabriquer et vendre de Thuile de Macassar, ils ne le peuvent faire sous un nom qui ne leur appartient pas, et le soin qu'ils ont mis a prendre de nom prow" tout l'interet que les demandeurs ont a le conserver. Que la bonne foi et l'equite, sont de tons les pays, que les tribe" naux francais ne doivent pas permettre que les consommateut s soient trompes par des speculations que la bonne for et I'equi tB reprouvent. Que s'il est allegue qu'en pareilles matieres les Francais faisant le commerce en Angleterre sont exposes a de parelles spoliationsr ces allegations ne sont pas justifiees ; que le fussent-elles,it r(sot! faudrait pas morns rendre bonne et l o yal e j us ti ce aux etrangers ( Pa se placeut sous la protection des lois francaises afin, de commande r et d'obtenir la meme protection pour les Francais qui resident. l'etranger.

The astonishing success which has crowned the applica tion of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed , most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is un' attended with the least danger or inconvenience, arid hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced. Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheutnatis►ni Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby in' capable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are the following Testimonials:— 4, Paternoster-row, Sia,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr• Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing deliriu m , th at h e was corn'pelled to be confined by strait waistcoat to prevent his comfit' ting any violence, and whose case was considered entirely hopeless' I was induced to ascertain th e p ar ti cu l ars, and being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, hav ing been many years so severe a sufferer, and tried many said Mb ° very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able in adding my testimony of the benefit I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able W attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, nerel was better in my lif e .

Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, bu t to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the traderill._ or mechanic, as it generally ca uses l oss o f b us i ness, an d ru m 0. families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am f or m y res t ora ti o n, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. October 20,1844. Milk-street, Cheapside. feel it a duty I owe to society, publicly lo make knoll , ' the benefit I received by using your excellent Medicine. Having been confined to my house three years with Lumbago and Rheurna; tism, unable to remove without the use of crutches, I had despaire d of ever gaining relief, having tried every popular romedy which ha f f been sent by my friends from various parts of the globe, none 0 which had any effect. I have consulted the most able Physician s, one of whom stated, that however lamentable my ease was, I oughl to be tgankful, from my great sufferings—being frequently in 3 state of madness—that I could with the assistance of crutches WO° at all. From the high recommendation I had of your valuable Medicine I was induced to make another effort, although in strict opposin oo to my medical attendants ; and, doubtful as it may appear, in t b f short spa ce o f t we l ve h ours I was ena bl e d to walk the length o f mo warehouse without the assistance of crutches. The Physician wi l l had declared my case hopeless was equally rejoiced as 'myself he was deceived, and hoped that publicity would be given to a' remedy, as the London Hospitals were not in possession of anY re medy to relieve their unfortunate Rheumatic patients. Being so long an invalid, I was not without knowing a numbe r of unhappy sufferers; to several I sent some Medicine, and happy to state that the accounts I have received are of the ID s gratifying description. I trust you will use every exe r ti o n i n ma ki ng p u bli c you r exce l lent remedy, that those afflicted may know where to get relief. JonN MirmiELL, Well-street, Cripplegate.
