Bootle, August 1838. J. A. P—E. Vottrn. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. DR. WHALE'S LETTER. (Front the Dublin Record. ) Ireland is certainly the most miserable country in the world: It pains one's heart as he passes through our streets, to see a haggard leanness in almost every face, to meet bare legs, bare backs, and every form of melancholy destitution, on , the right hand and on the left. It is painful to recollect that these temporal ap pearances are but the fruits of the prevalence of a dreadful system of spiritual delusion, which destroys soul as well as body. This is all exceedingly distress= ing, and yet perhaps it is not the most distressing ex perience that one who knows the height of privilege and prosperity to which the truth as it. is in Jesus would lift up every class of Irishmen, is compelled to feel. No; there is an experience more poignant still. It arises from beholding the authors of the miseries of Ireland—the blind leaders who have bronght the peo ple to wallow in the ditch, assuming airs, and playing the part—without any inconsistency either—of in structors to a professedly Protestant government. Such is the part that Dr. M'Haie assumes in the long letter which he has lately written to Lord John Russell, and whiCh now lies before us. It is excessively bum bling to a true Protestant. to behold . the Protestant heads of the state placed under circumstances in which they can be bearded in the manner in which Lord John Russell is here bearded by this idol priest. The letter indicates a superfluity of naughtiness, for it is evidently written without any definite end or aim. It was not called forth by any particular grievance—there was no occasion for it—it is simply the mire and dirt thrown up by the troublecrsea of the mind of the wri ter, agitated and irritated, perhaps, by the slow pro gress made by a destructive policy in the production of those results about which he is morbidly anxious. Consequently, the letter is a heterogenus gatherum of murmurings and complainings on every conceivable subject of not merely Roman Catholic grievance but of Roman Catholic triumph. What he has something like a shadow of reason to be discontented with, is very dreadfully annoying, shocking—too bad—and the points that are somewhat in his favour do not come up to this standard. They tolerate Protestants; they do not instal Dr. WHale as Prelate Paramount in Tuam : this is the gist. of the whole epistle. Here we find lamentations about " the constabulary," about " enormous taxes" " county cesses," " the poor laws," " the origin of the reformation," " the pauperism of primitive Protestants" " the Protestant officials in the national system of education," " Mr. Carble," " the Archbishop of Dublin," " his errors of Romanism," but above all, " the church establishment" and " the national board." These constitute a few of the items touched upon in the rambling epistle of the Rev. Dr. To attempt to answer such a letter would be vain. it contains neither point nor argument. But does he really think that the Protestant establishment will soon disappear—that its hierarchy will soon be done away with—that it is doomed, and that its days are numbered ? So it would appear. Alas, that a learned doctor should be so very far astray ! Know, Dr. Mac- Hale, that the Holy Catholic Church of Ireland is founded upon a rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. It has been buffeted by the storms of eighteen centuries, and still survives; it escaped something more direful than the threats of modern Popery, namely, the corruptions of ancient Popery, all its bishops at the glorious period of the Reformation having cast aside the errors in which the church had become generally involved, and having returned to primitive truth. Know you not this, Dr. WHale ? Know you not that your church is just a modern ime portation from apostate Rome ? And that although it may claim the title of Catholic, because, alas! it is sadly too prevalent, yet it is precisely on the same principle on which we would call drunkenness and swearing, adultery and Sabbath-breaking Catholic practices. Your church, Doctor, is the unmitigated curse of Ireland—it is the curse of every country where it prevails—its universal accompaniments are corruption and destitution. What single village in Ireland has Popery delivered from vice or misery ? Not one—not one in any country in the whole world; whereas the universal results of the doctrines of the holy church are wisdom, truth, integrity, virtue, order, and decency—fruits which ever accompany genuine Protestantism, and distinguish every Protestant coun try without exception. Look at England, Scotland, and the north of Ire land. Your church, Doctor, is the unholy Catholic and apostate Church—the long foretold Roman Apos tasy—that dreadful moral evil which the primitive saints trembled at the anticipation of—pictured out to us as a drunken, persecuting Whore—the Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth—an incorpora tion of all that is vile—every member of which bears on his forehead a name and a number—the name APOSTATE, In Greek, making exactly 666. Is it then to be wondered at that, with such an incu bus upon lie Ireland Ireland is miserable ? Here is a church which withdaws all the sanctifying influences of the Gospel, and, at best,brings us back to a beggarly lega lity—to a principle which God himself has demonstra ted to us by a great national system of 2,000 years' existence to be inadequate to meet the evils of the world. The Gospel offers to men the true Christ ; Popery gives a fiction—a wafer—an Idol—Christ ianity offers the Holy Spirit; Popery laughs the gift to scorn; but gives holy water, holy .oil, holy bones, holy candles, holy clay, &c. &c. &c.; Christianity gifts men with the spotless robes of a Saviour's righte ousness ; Popery deforms them with the miserable rags of their own. Is it any wonder, then, that Ireland is wretched ? No ! a curse is consuming us. Our coun trymen allow an Apostate Church to starve their souls —to invest them with spiritual deformity, debasing superstitions; and God, in judgment, visits their bo dies with analogous and illustrative miseries—hunger and thirst, nakedness and rags. But, for the comfort of the learned Doctor, the days of Popery are num bered. It is with Babylon now just as it was of old. Intoxicated with a temporal glory which marked but the reprobation of the Lord, the wretched inhabitants of that devoted city gathered themselves together to triumph over the Church of God—they exulted in displaying the spoils of Zion. "I have prudence ! / have wisdom !—/ have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures; and I have put down tile inhabitants like a valiant man!" was the reflection of the stout heart of the King of Assyria —" I shall stand for ever !" That very night the right hand of the Lord dashed in pieces the enemy. There is neither might, nor wisdom, nor power against the Lord. The days of Popery are numbered. Take notice, Doctor !. EPITAPH IN GATESHEAD CHURCHYARD.—The body, over which this tomb lies yet more " heavily" than Vanburgh could have designed it, was that of one Robert Trollop (architect of the Town Hall in Newcastle,) descended from a line of stonemasons, who prepared it during his life. Mr. Surtees tells us, that, according to tradition, there stood the figure of this Robert Trollopwith his arm ra i se d; p o i n ti ng Trollop , , with the Town Hall of Newcastle, with these original lines subjoined « " Hero lies Robert Trowlup , Who made yon stones roll up; When death took his soul up, His body filled this hole up." *Dr. Dibdin's Northern Tour. COUNTRY GENTLEMEN.—I would have the ancient gentry live upon their estates, because I think they are of great use so the agricultural population ; but I see no reason why they thould not have enlarged culture of intellect, and emerge a little into the world occasionally. If the quiet of the coun try is used only to nurse a stagnation of the finer qualities of the mind and heart, then woe be to that quiet! Rather let them run " into the full tide of life at Charing-cross," as Johnson said of that noisy centricalitv. 1 was struck with an extraordinary declaration of Wesley, as recorded in Southey's life of that singular man. He said that he could make least of the agriculturisti—they were a sordid set of people, whom he could never move. lam sorry to say that this applies equally to the stationary gentry.—Sir Egerton Brydges. A WESTERN HUNTER'S NOTION OF LOVE.—" I say, Earthquake, were you ever in love ?" "Ah, Rolfe, there you are too hard for me! I hardly know what to say about that. I have sometimes felt qeeer.

OvsTuas.—Honour and gratitude to the late Duchess of St. Albans, who, even at her most sumptuous banr t e a t i lin oi variably had a little barrel of n atives p laced dupon its own, with a skilful opener by its side, and goodly slices of brown bread and butter in its front; nor was that little nook of the proud saloon by any means the least prolific of " Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles, Nods and becks, and wreathed smiles;" awl of accompanying bursts of laughter, that consigned the tiny molluscs to their last home with a triumphant epice dium. Well does the writer recollect her grace's look of naiveté, when, in reply to the simple question of oue of her noble guests, whether oysters could feel, she replied, " To be sere they can—do you not hear them constantly crying about the streets?" Of the different significations of the verb "to cry;' our jesters have liberally availed themselves; but even our standard serious writers, spite of the numerous blunders it occasions, will imitate the duchess in the use of the active instead of the passive participle.

Now that the General Assembly has taken up the cause of the Jews, and the attention of many Chris , tians is more directed to this subject than perhaps it has ever been before, it may not be amiss to present our readers, from time to time, with information and argument which may be useful. We cannot do better than make a few selections from the admirable works of the Rev. Dr. M'Caul, one of the most eminent He brew Scholars_ of the-age; they are little known in this part of the country, while they are highly instructive. In a discourse, preached before the Jews' Society in 1833, in answering the objection that it is not the right time to attempt the conversion of the Jews, he favours his readers with the following interesting his• torical detail. We have only to add, that the reproach f !Which he speaks, viz., that no Christian body, as a Church, had adopted Israel, is now wiped away—the Church of Scotland having seen its duty to listen to their claims:— " There never has been a period of history in which the Lord has not had a remnant among his people Israel. Had the Christian Church continued from the days of the Apostles to the present day in the diligent use of the means for the conversion of the Jews, and in persevering earnest prayer for God's blessing upon their efforts, and the Jews remained notwithstanding in unbelief; Christians would have some colour for saying the time is not come; but it is rather in consistent to neglect the means, and then ask why the end has not been attained. When any man says the time for the conversion of the Jews is not yet come, the true answer is, How do you know ? Did you ever try ? The Christian Church has certainly not made a fair trial, and has therefore no right to make such assertion. For, in the first place, the Christian Church has, from the earliest times, displayed a spirit of hatred and even contempt of the Jews, which has taught the majority ofthe Jewish nation t 9 regard Christians as their bitterest enemies. I speak not now of the prejudices of the illiterate, but of the deliberate acts of the councils and rulers of the Church. One of the first acts of this kind was the making the Jewish Sabbath a fast-day. From the earliest times to the fourth century the practice had been to observe the Jewish Sabbath as a holiday, as some suppose, in order to facilitate their conversion. But the Church of Rome, which soon displayed a decided opposition to the Jews, made it a fast-day, that the separation might be marked and strong. The Council of Laodicea completed this work, by ordering the Gospels to be read instead of the Jewish lessons, and by commanding Christians to work on the Sabbath. The Coun cil of Elvira, and several succeeding councils, forbid all familiar and friendly intercourse with the Jews, under pain of excommunication. Stephen Langton, and Hugo de Vel les, Bishop of Lincoln, extended this decree still farther, for they denounced the same punishment upon any one who should hold communication with the Jews, or even sell them provisions; and to crown all, a decree was made; forbidding a Jew to enter any Christian church. if to these public and practical decrees of the chureh we add the injustice •with which they were treated by christians in general—their syna gogues destroyed, or forcibly taken and converted into christian churches—themselves driven from one conntry to another, and in some cases they and their children forcibly compelled to embarce christianity—who can say that the gospel has been fairly preached to the Jews, or who can wonder that they have continued in unbelief? Even if the church had been zealous in preachin - to the Jews, and had continued pure in doctrine, uo zeal or orthodoxy can com pensate for waut of love and compassion. Love is an essen tial part of the gospel, as well as of the christian character; and where it has not been practically exhibited, the religion of Christ has not been adequately preached. Moreover, the ancient church appears to have made no provision for preach ing the gospel to the Jews. Some few of the fathers wrote against the Jews in languages which they considered pro fane, and therefore did not read. But I cannot find that any systematic attempt was ever made by the christian church. Some few individuals were moved to seek the welfare of the Jews, and their attempts were blessed. But the general in difference of the church for the welfare of the Jews is best illustrated by the general neglect of Hebrew. In Gesenius's History of Hebrew Literature, pp. 92-105, we find that from St, Jerome to Raymund Martyn, a periodof nearly 800 years, the study of Hebrew' was generally neglected, and that in all this time the christian church did not produce one Hebrew scholar of note. Until the time of lieuchlin, in the fifteenth century, I know of no attempt to translate any part of the New Testament into Hebrew; and until the efforts made by this society, no endeavour was ever made to circulate the whole New Testament in Hebrew, that the Jews might read and believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. This may appear of comparatively little importance, as, since the Refroniation, there have been vernacular translations in the protestant countries where they lived; but it must be re membered that it is not a century since even the European Jews generally began to read the languages of the country where they live. In Poland, but few have learned to read Polish; the vast majority can read only Hebrew and Jewish. And, even in this country, it is not a rare thing to find Jews and Jewesses who cannot read English, though they can speak it. Who can say then that Christ has been adequately preached to the Jews, or who can wonder that they do not believe? How should they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? But to this is to be added, that from the eighth to the sixteenth century, idolatry generally prevailed in the christian church; and that that church, which has beyond all doubt done the most for the conversion of Jews, has stink the deepest into this sin. The Roman church has at various times sought their conversion, and. the Dominicans were particularly zealous, and, if we may judge from the work of Raymund Martyn, well qualified from their know ledge of Hebrew. But who can say that they preached the pure doctrine of christianity? Their efforts have only tended to convey and fix in the minds of the Jews a false idea of the Gospel. I have found in Poland that the word which signifies an image generally has acquired the particular signification of crucifix How, then, could the Jews stop to consider Christianity, when they identified it with idolatry, which their law f o rbid s ? O r - how can we talk of the blindness of the Jews, if they could not see the light of the Gospel, which did not exist ? Since the Reformation the controversy has been better studied, Hebrew more generally understood by Christian divines, and some stumbling-blocks removed. In dividuals also have been interested for the Jews, but I am sorry to add, that not one of all the Protostant Churches, so far as I know, has made any attempt, as a Church, to preach the Gospel to the Jews. They have not done even as much as the Church of Rome. It it therefore a vain thing to talk of the judicial blindness of the Jews. Let the Protestant Churches first make the attempt; but let them not say that the time is not come, when they have never tried whether it be or not. " In spite of all these disadvantages, it has pleased God in all ages to show the falsehood of this pretence by gathering to himself a remnant from amongst his people Israel. We have the testimony of St. Jerome, that the Church of the circumcision, or Jewish Christians, continued, and was nu merous in his own time. He describes them as existing in all the synagogues of the East; and though strongly opposed to their zeal for the law, he bears witness to their orthodoxy. He says particularly, that they rejected the traditions of the Robbins, and believed in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the beginning of the fifth century we read of the conver sion of the Jews in Candia; in the sixth, of the Jewish inha bitants of Borium, iu Africa; in the seventh, of the Jews in Cyprus, and other places; in the ninth century, of some in France; in the eleventh, in Germany; in the twelfth, in Germany, Spain, Normandy, and England. On one of the rolls in the reign of Henry 111., the names of 500 Jewish converts are recorded. Two of the most learned men of the fourteenth century were converted Jews, Paul of Burgos, and Nicholas de Lyra. The latter was the great precurser of the Reformation. From him both Wickliffe and Luther learned the true mode of interpreting the Bible. Tremel tins, the friend of our own Reformers, and whose transla tion of the Old Testament is one of the best extant, was a converted Jew. Above a century ago, Wolfius, in his Bi bliotheca Hebraica, was able to enumerate more than 100 Jews who had written in defence or illustration of Christi anity. Thus God's Providence bears witness to his Word, that there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; no irresistible blindness resting on that people, which may not be removed by the preaching of the Gospel." ➢IANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING. The result of the race for the Goodwood Cup, and the runt niug of D'Egville in that race, and on Friday, show tha those who were for several previous days so pressing hot up on him for the St. Leger, were grievously out in their calcu lations, and give an undoubted coup de grace to these fond expectations, that their south correspondents had done them a glorious piece of service in announcing D'Egville as at least twelve lengths better than the Grey. It may, in justice to Mr. Fergusson's horse, be said that he has proved himself on this side the water as he did on the Curragh of Kildare, a very superior horse; weight appearing no ob ject, otherwise the race would not have been brushed off to the admiration of so -many friends assembled to see the pet of their own land perform in Sussex. The result of the event became no sooner known than some rather unexpected en gagements were made against Lord George's horses for the St. Leger. A north party being at present en route to the Potteries. one of them laid 20 to 1 against D'Egville, and the same odds against Grey Momus, to lay about 3,000 on each. Previously to this dash of speculation, as low as 6 to 1 would have been taken on the Grey. Lord Westminster's Albe marle was backed at the same time at 15 to 1; and 200 to 10 was taken on the Duke of Cleveland's colt. Wee Willie (now at the Potteries) was repeatedly backed, by tbe arrivals from the north. at 100 to 2. Lanercost stood then at 12 to 1, but was not backed. Before Monday morning it appeared pretty clear that the layers of the odds against him and his stable companion had not the worst, at all events, of one side of the heavy engagements; for several times the copious odds of 100 to 1 were pencilled down, and the same last night. It would appear from this that he must be done up with his cup, &c. struggles; or that he is not to be one of " the van" at Doncaster. It was generally expected that Grey Momus would have sprung to 6 or 7 to 1 if not nearer; public run ning goes in his favour. He, however, has not pulled up higher than 10 to 1. The same figure was laid against Cob ham to-day, with offers made of 5 to 1 against Don John. Albemarle would have been backed for a large stake, at the close of the week, at 16 to 1. This must be considered Alzeia's price, any thing beyond it being jumped at. One of the most prominent features in the recent transactions is the advance of Lanercost. His party get daily more numerous; and his immediate friends—in other words, " The Stable" —are no doubt, from Tattersall's quotations of last evening, at work at " the corner." 9to 1 was accepted to-day in fifties. Mr. Gascoigne's colt has been backed at 49 to 1, afterwards offered. A few engagements only have been made on the Staffordshire events of this day and to-morrow. Modesty would be freely backed against her two opponents for the Pottery Plate. The Maid of Monton was backed last night at 7 to 4, and afterwards at 6, to about £4O, for the Stakes, with 100 sows. added by Alderman Copeland. To-day, Wee Willie was touched upon at 2 to 1, and Prudence at 7 to 2. The following are the average prices on:— THE DONCASTER ST LEGER. 7 to 2 against Colonel Peel's lon, (take 4 to 1 freely.) sto 1 -„ Lord Chesterfield's Don John (off.) 9to 1 „ Mr. Parkin's Lanercost (t.) 10 to 1 „ Lord G.

TATTERSALL'S, TUESDAY. The settling for the Goodwood races took place yesterday, and occupied a considerable part of the afternoon; itwentoff . well. The St. Leger betting commenced a littl e before bye and, besides being tolerably brisk, led to changes of some in terest to speculators. lon was backed freely at 7to 2 and 4 to 1, the mentioned price being the closing one. Don John was also a b e tt er f avour it e, b ut was no t in much demand. he principal alteration was in Lanercost, whose friends were so sweet that she was con firmed as third favourite before the doors closed.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON THE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY OF THE ARTICULATED MOLLUSCOUS CLASSES OF ANIMALS. On Saturday evening Dr. Grant delivered his second lecture upon the articulated classes of animals. The waters of the globe abound with tenfold more ani mated beings than are to be found in the atmosphere or upon the surface of our planet. The air, earth, and water are peopled with their own inhabitants, all duly organised with their particular elements. Every altitude as well as every • latitude has its own species of organization. Not only do we find animals thus beautifully organized for the habitation of the waters, but we observeitharthose which burrow in the earth, and those which move to or fro upon its surface, or fly in the air, are alike enabled to respire oxygen. Indeed when we consider the influence of oxygen upon the animal econo my, we are surprised that there should be organised bodies so high as articulated animals siihich possess no external or internal organs for the purposes of respiration; singular to say, there are beings which are capable of living for a con siderable period, in health and vigour, without coming once into contact with atmospheric air. It is profitable some times to contemplate the forms of organic bodies which occur around us on the surface of our globe. It may be hideous to some to contemplate some of the mammalia, the reptiles, or the amphibious animals, their habits being so repulsive as to excite feelings of disgust. These feelings, however, vanish as we begin to approach nearer• to their bodies and view their perfect adaptation to the circumstances of their being. Whenever we observe the flowers of the forest, we perceive that they swarm with living beings necessary to their existence. There is not a plant in the forest which is not distinguished by its parasitical animals as well as by animals which are higher in the scale. Some are organized to creep to and fro upon the surface of the plants and to suck the superfluous juices formed in such abundance by nature. Nothing in nature is ever lost ! We observe indeed that not only are the exterior parts of the plants provided with their own special inhabitants, but that different portions of the interior have their special animals to feed upon them. Seine plants prey upon animals; first attracting them by their fragrance and then detaining them in their grasp until they have derived from their bodies the nutrition which they are calculated to afford. Each animal, from the highest down to the lowest, is in fact a menagerie, maintaining within itself myriads of different beings, many of which, but for the progress of curious investigation and modern invention, would have escaped observation. Man was not permitted to see the beauties of the creation until, by the progress of the arts, he was given another sense. By the microscopic powers he has brought animals and plants within his knowledge, which, otherwise, would have escaped his investigations. It has been found that most of the fluids of animals contain their own peculiar inhabitants. These are classed i❑ one great heteroge neous mixture denominated entozon or parasitical ani malculm. Indeed these beings have been distinguished by various names. The thin fluids, of the eye have been found to contain them. Hydatids have been found in the aqueous humour of the eye of the horse, as indeed have animals of great magnitude. As we pass to the internal regions we find that the alimentary canal supports millions upon millions of creatures. If we examine the passages which lead from the intestines into the different glands, such as the pancreas and the liver, we find, as might be expected, that they.swarm with different tribes of living beings. We find in the blood vessels—nay, in the coats of the hlood-vessels and in the heart itself, minute parasitical animalculm. We find them within the cavity of the abdomen, and in the substance of the liver. Now we find not only that these parts, but that each - portion of the animal, has its different animalculm, which have but a limited range in the body. It is extremely difficult to say whether the same animalculm occur in diffe rent species of anienals. If we examine the most active muscles of the body, we see that the muscular system from one end of the body to the other is permeated large entozoa. We observe even that the delicate substance of the brain is capable of affording nutriment to myriads of the entozoa. The feathered tribe, which one would think escape contamina tion in their voyages through the airy regions of the sky, also have their specific - animalculm. amphibicm contain them in great nun:lints. We see them in and upOn all-parts of the bodies of fishes,—for here it is that nature raises them in the greatest perfection. We find them on all parts of the exterior of the body—hanging from the exterior of the eve, from the gills, the fips, and all parts of the neck,—in sliort from every part where the skin is capable of being punctured so as to afford them subsistence. Notwithstanding this the fish passes on without being in the least injured by what it is supporting. Passing to the inferior molluscous animals, we find upon them an abundance of parasitical animalculm. Many of them are indeed animalculse from their extreme minuteness. Nay, observations have been made down as low as the articulated animals themselves, and, what may seem incredible, the parasitical entozoa support other ani malcules within. themselves. For instance, those which are taken from the aqueous humours of the eyes support other animalculm within them,—so that there seems to be no end of life so far as the microscope has assisted our labours. It is curious to observe by what means nature has enabled the different forms to provide for their own existence. We have seen that the serpentine form is the best calculated for insi nuating itself through the texture of the veins and all the curves in the animal bodies through which the animalculm must pass to obtain their nutriment. We therefore find that in the intestinal worms, the serpentine form of the body is best adapted for their wants. There are many entozoa, how ever, which assume a globular form. For instance, if the animal is to be placed in the nutritious, warm substances of the body, it requires not to change its situation ; there is. no necessity to give it the power of locomotion. Indeed, it would be dangerous to give those eutozoa, which prey upon the brain, that serpentine form which would enable them to wend their way through the fine fibres of which it is composed. These are, therefore, most properly of the spherical form— that is to say, they have a bladder-shaped vessel filled with some fluid, with a transversely marked neck. When we open the liver of the rabbit, and look at the great number of animalculm which we see alive, we can perceive their mus cular fibres, and heads with four sartorial ducts arranged around. The creature has a number of horny spines for the purpose of irritating the surface of its prey, in order to obtain a constant supply of fresh nutriment. The horny spines occur in the brain itself, in connection with the flower-headed animalculm met with there. A species of entozna of this shape is found in the brain of the sheep, which occasions the animal some inconvenience. It will be said how came they into the interior of the brain of a sheep seeing that there is no external passage there. The blood is the only medium through which they could get there. This explanation is, however, more specious than satisfactory, for if we examine them in the youngest state we shall find that they never could have entered the brain in that manner, be cause the parietes of the capillary vessels are perfectly inca pable of allowing the creatures to pass through them. In these animalculm there is a fine adaptation for the medica in which they occur. We observe, however, that although these simple globular forms have generally distinct heads, there are several which defy the most careful examination to shew by what means' they are able to obtain their food, for the most careful analyzation has not yet discovered a single ab sorbent power about them. The tape-worms are composed of aggregates of a number of beings whose heads are surrounded by sartorial ducts with a central aparture. The separating of a part will thus be of no importance to the existence of the worm. These worms have been met with 100 feet in length, We find them some times occupying nearly the whole bulk of the alimentary canal. The herbivorous quadrupeds and those which are most subservient to man are those upon which we have made the greatest observation. Upon examining the sheep we find that its intestines contain a small animal similar to the pla naria found in fresh water and rivers. Quadrupeds partaking of food moistened with river water• are found to be attended by a certain kind of paiasitical animals. Some have sup posed that as these creatures are taken in with the food into the canal that they find their way into the ducts and thus get into the central substance of the liver, where meeting with richer fond they attain a greater size. The forms of these ani mals vary according to the situations they are intended to fill in the body or the hardships they live to sustain, and in every instance we find them admirably contrived for such a purpose. The form of these creatures which we find attached to the external part of the bodies of animals is again different. The learned gentleman then explained the structure of these entozoa as well as their various organs, but we feel that we must refer those' of our readers who are curious in such mat ters to the very able works now publishing by the Professor, on the comparative quantity of the various animals existing in the world. After minutely describing a species of entozoa found by Captain Scaresby on the eye of a shark which he had dissected, Mr. Grant concluded as follows. We thus see that there is nothing lost which is capable of affording nutri ment to the organic beings, and while they serve the purpose of stimulating to cleanliness, we observe likewise that they are confined to those parts of the intestinal regions in which they occur, for there are - many of these creatures which never make their appearance through the universe, but in these deeply seated organs to which there is no access found without. This lecturer, like the preceding, was illustrated through out with valuable diagrams. SELECT EXTRACTS. THE . EDGEWORTH FAMILY.—The late eminent Mr. Edge worth had four wives • of these the last is living, and is the mistress of the establishment at Edgeworth's Town. She has a son, a daughter-in-law (who is Spanish,) and a grand child in the finally, besides whom there are a daughter of another of the wives, an aged and venerable sister of Miss Edgeworth's mother, and Miss Edgeworth herself, who is the daughter of the first wife.—The American in Ireland. LEGISLATION.—If acts of parliament were, after the old fashion, penned, and by such only as perfectly knew what the common law was, before the making of any act of parliament concerning the matter, as also how far the former statutes had provided remedy for former mischiefs and defects dis covered by experience, then should very few questions in law arise, and the learned should not so often perplex their heads to make atonement and peace by construction of between insensible and disagreeing " w ords," "sentences," and "pro visoes," as now they do. —Coke.—[lf this were so in Coke's time, how much more forcibly and voluminously does it apply now. INDIAN POISON.—One of the mast remarkable vegetable' ,productions is a poison used for destroying animal life. It is grown only by the Abors, a mountain tribe, inhabiting the banks of the Sampoo. Its cultivation is kept a great secret, and they carry their precaution so far as to boil it before leaving their country, so as to destroy all vegetation. It is brought into Suddia by the Abors, tied up in little bundles, and has the appearance of a small fibrous root. It is pre pared for use by pounding the roots to powder, and mixing it up into a paste with tlje juice of a tree called Otenga, so as to give it tenacity, and make it adhere to the arrow head. So fatal are its effects, that even a scratch from an arrow so poi soned is followed by almost instant death. This is the poison used by all tiger . killers for poisoning their arrows. TRAVELLERS BY STAGE COACHES.—Upon making a cal culation for the whole number of stage coaches that possessed licenses at the end of the year 183-1, it anpears that the means of conveyance thus provided for travelling are equivalent to the conveyance, during the year, of one person for the dis tance of 597,159,420 miles, or more than six times the dis tance between the earth and the sun. Observation has shown, that the degree in which the public avail themselves of the accommodation thus provided, is in the proportion of 9to 15, or 3-sths of its utmost extent. Following this pro portion, the sum of all the travelling by stage coaches in Great Britain may be represented by 358,295,652 miles. If we exclude from the calculation all very young children, as well as persons who, from their great age and bodily infirmi ties, are unable to travel, there will probably remain in England 10,000,000 persons by whom that amount of travel ling might be accomplished; but it is well known that a very large proportion of the population are not placed in circum stances that require them to travel; and, if even it were otherwise, that they would not avail themselves of a mode of conveyance so comparatively costly as a stage coach. We shall probably go to the utmost extent in assuming, that not more than 1-sth, or 2,000,000 of persons, travel in that man ner; and it places in a strong point of view the activity which pervades this country, when we thus arrive at the conclusion, that each of those persons must, on an average, travel on land by some public conveyance 180 miles in the course of the year. This calculation is exclusive of all tra velling in post chaises, in private carriages, and by steam vessels, the amount of which there are not any means of esti mating. It affords a good measure of the relative import ance of the metropolis to the remainder of the country, that, of the above number of 597,159,420, the large proportion of 409,052,644 is the product of stage coaches, which are licen ,srehdetolireuennsferso,mwLhoienhdohnavteo f v o a r r m i o e u d s t p h a e rts gr o o f un th d e wo k rk ing o d f o t m he . calculations, include all public co nve yances proceeding be tween one part of England and another part of England, as well as those conveyances which travel between England and Scotland, but not such as begin and end their journeys in Scotland ; and their travelling in Ireland is wholly ex cluded.—Progrest of the Nation. Pain LAKE OF GENESARETll.—Travellers have often com pared this lake with the Lake of Geneva. I could see very little resemblance; it is not so large, and wants the variety of scenery of the Lake of Geneva, and, above all, the lofty summit of Mount Blanc. The banks of the Lake of Geneva are crowded from one end to the other with villages and villas, and its surface is covered with boats, and all the hurry and bustle of a travelling population; this is in all the wild ness of nature, all neglected and uncultivated ; and, except the little town of Tiberias, not a habitation, not even an Arab's hut, is seen upon its banks, not a solitary boat upon its waters. A single pelican was floating at my feet, and. like myself, he was alone. He was so near that 1 could have hit him with a stone; he was the only thing that I saw that had life, and he seemed looking at me with wonder, and asking me why 1 still lingered in the desolate city.—Ste phen's Incidents of Travel. • 0 aAMAIIIA.—THE WELL OF JACOB.—I knew that there was a difference of opinion as to the precise site of this inte resting monument; but, when I found myself at the mouth of this well, I had no wish to look farther; I could feel and realise the whole scene; I could see our Saviour coming out from Judea, and travelling alonc , this valley; I could see him wearied with his journey, sitting down on this well to rest, and the Samaritan women, as I saw them at every town in the Holy Land, coming out for water. I could ima gine his looking up to Mount Gerizim, and predicting the ruin of the temple, and telling her that the hour was coming when neither on that mountain nor yet in Jerusalem would she worship the God of her fathers. A large column lay across the top of the well, and the mouth was filled up with huge stones. I could see the water through the crevices; but, even with the assistance of Paul and the Arabs, found it impossible to remove them. - I plucked a wild flower grow ing in the mouth of the well, and passed on. —Stephens's In cidents of Travel. JASSY, THE CAPITAL OF MOLDAVIA.—The environs, with their extensive gardens, are beautiful and picturesque; while the town, being partly situated on a rising eminence, and partly in a pleasant valley, with its wide spreading suburbs, scattered about on The surrounding heigbts, and mingling with the pretty forms of the domes in spires, impresses the traveller with the idea that he is about to enter a very. consi derable city, rich and populous. But in these favourable anticipations he will be miserably disappointed; and what ever may have been the former grandeur of Jassay, it is now reduced to a level with one of the wretched capitals of the east. The streets, like the roads, are unpaved, except one or two of the principal, and these are merely boarded, a channel for conveying away the filth of the streets being formed underneath . ; but, owing to the slovenliness of the inhabitants, and the entire absence, we presume, of any sanitary police to enforce cleanliness, it is suffered to accu mulate for months, thus poisoning the atmosphere, and en gendering a miasma sufficient to create a pestilence.— Spencer's Travels in Western Caucasus. THE CIRCASSIANS' RESPECT FOR AGE.—The man en feebled by declinin'g years, instead of becoming an object of scorn and contempt to thoughtless youth, as is, unhappily, too often seen in Europe, is here respected and venerated by all classes of society. Wherever he moves, the crowd opens a path to his progress • all the little attentions that a kind people are capable of exercising ere certain to be his. In winter the warmest corner of the fire is assigned : in sum mer his cushion is arranged under the shade of the veranda, while the beautiftil hands of his lovely daughter are em ployed in tanning away the insects that might disturb his repose; presents of sweetmeats, and all the little delicacies usually given to children in other countries, are bestowed upon him. In short, they act fully up to their own proverb, —" Doubly accursed is the man that draweth upon himself the curse of the aged." With regard to the respect paid to women,. I have frequently seen the gallant chief of thousands of warriors descend from his charger, and place on it some lonely damsel who might be trudging along through the deep valleys to visit a distant friend, and protect her safely to the next hainlet.—Spencer's Travels in Western Caucasus. ARRIVALS: LIVERPOOL SOME FIFTY YEARS AGO.—It was my lot, not liking the confinement of a counting-house, into which my uncle had taken me, to bind myself apprentice to an old man, who was himself chief owner of the vessel : he worked me hard, and fed me upon the coarsest food. 1 do not call it my misfortune, for through it I acquired habits of industry and endurance of which 1 have experienced the advantage all my life: what I then endured invigorated my body, inured it to hardships, taught me to put my hands to any thing, and shift for myself. He traded to Jamaica, calling at Madeira; the longest voyage then made out of the port, except to Africa. Liverpool was then compara tively in its infancy, and a foreign arrival was not an every day occurrence. When the signal was made for one on Bidston Hill, it was buzzed all over the town, and the pier heads were crowded to see the stranger enter the Mersey; and, immediately her white sails were, seen over the rock point, the old church hells struck up an exhilarating peal. As she touched the pier -head, the friends of the crew leaped on board to welcome them back again; and, at night, at the hour the master was supposed to have gone to rest, a band of music regularly planted themselves at his door, to give him a serenade, in order to lull him to sleep after the fatigues of his long voyage. 'Then a master of a foreigner was reck oned somebody in society, especially the master of a Guinea man, as the slavers were then called, who could vie with his employer in extravagance; to which dignity most of the sea aspirants to riches looked. —Ellison's Prison Scenes. THE EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS.— ` An inhabitant of Hors ham, in Sussex, now living, remembers, when a boy, to have heard from a person whose father carried on the business of a butcher in that town, that in his time the only means of reaching the metropolis was either by going on foot or riding on horseback, the latter of which undertakings was not prac ticable at all periods of the year, nor in every state of the weather; that the roads were not at any time in such a con dition as to admit of sheep or cattle being driven upon them to the London markets; and that for this reason, the farmers were prevented sending thither the produce of their land, the immediate neighbourhood being, in fact, their only mar ket.. Under these circumstances, a quarter of a fat ox was commonly sold for about 155., and the price of mutton throughout the year was only five farthings the pound. Horsham is 36 miles from London, and the journey between the two places now occupies less than four hours; more than 30 stage-coaches travelling at this rate pass through Hors ham every day, on their way from and to llem metropolis, the traffic addition to numerou s p r i va t e carr i ages and p est chaises; traffic of goods—principally coal and agricultural produce— carried on in the district of which Horsham is the centre, exceeds 40,000 tons a-year, besides which. the road is con stantly covered with droves of cattle and flocks of sheep.— Porter's Progress of the Nation. ANCIENT CARTHAGE.—Sir Grenville Temple, who a few days eko ariived in Malta from Tunis, on board the Otto man frigate Suriah, has employed himself for the last six months in making excavations on the classic soil of Carthage, a city, the mete mention of whose name awakens in the bosom of every scholar a thousand recollections of glory, which once adorned the mistress of the African seas, and the immortal rival of the Roman republic. His labours have been well rewarded by the peculiarly interesting discoveries he has made. Among them we may notice that on the site of the temple of Ganath, or Juno Ccelestis, the great protect ing divinity of Carthage, he found about seven h undred - coins, and various objects of glass and earthenware. lint the most remarkable, and perhaps least expected, of his discoveries is that of a villa, situated on the sea shore, and buried fifteen feet under ground. Eight rooms are completely cleared, and their size and decorations prove that the house belonged to a wealthy personage. The walls are painted, and the floors are beautifully paved' in mosaic, in the same manner as those at Pompeii and Herculaneum, representing a great variety of subjects, such as marine deities, both male and female, different species of sea-fish, marine plants, a vessel with female figures dancing on deck, and surrounded by ad miring warriors; other portions represent lions, horses, leopards, tigers, deer, zebras, bears, gazelles, hares, ducks, herons, and the like. Ten human skeletons, apparently of those slain during the assault of the city, were found in the different chambers. Sir Grenville also discovered in another house other mosaics of great interest. These represent gla diators contending in the arena with wild beasts, and over each man is written his name. In another part are seen horse races, and meri breaking in yo.ung horses. Our limits oblige us to restrict.these details; but we hope, indeed we understand, that Sir G. Temple will shortly publish an ac count of his important and extraordinary discoveries.— Malta Gazette. FINLAND. — One who has never visited the north, who has dreamed of Finland only as a country bathed in blubber and whale oil, will be perhaps surprised when I tell him, that Helsinfors is a beautiful modern town, with a theatre and a ball-room, both of which were open yesterday, and to which we were invited; that half the population flocked to the pier on our arrival, and the military band hailed us with airs from the operas of Rossini. Bellini, and other fashionable com posers; whilst a very diminutive steamer, capable of holding perhaps twenty persons, and no larger than a wherry, co quetted round us with a band of vocal performers in German and Swedish songs, The day was delicious, the weather ge nial, the - se - a - in a perfect calm; in short, we enjoyed the full flavour of the elements. In fine weather, the bay here is delightful; it is ,quite a diminutive archipelago. I observed the custom exists here, as I am told it does all over Sweden, of covering the staircase of an inn with chopped fir sprouts, and the dining robm with festoons of green leaves. The sa loon of Hotel du Nord. where I am staving, is elegantly gar nished. I found the inn here not bad; and althoug,h they serve the soup in the middle of dinner, and Alpine straw berries and cream after the fish, I was able to make a hearty repast: All over the north of Europe, from the 53d degree of latitude, spirits with cheese, caviare ' or some oth er stimu lant, is taken before the principal meal. * • * * • That most salubrious, and, to me, delicious vegetable, the potato, has not yet found general acceptation amongst the lower orders' in Russia : it is with difficulty the peasants can be induced to grow and consume it in the vicinity of St. Pe tersburg; and even here it is not served at meals, unless ask ed for—the indigestible cabbage and gourds are the pet food of the nation.—Standish's Northern Capitals of Europe. MOLDAVIAN BRUTALITY.—The Greek Arnouts, in their picturesque costume, are here the police--a very fine body of men, but most merciless tyrants. I witnessed an instance of their brutality during the time my passport was being signed at the Town-hall. A starving peasant had been taken in the act of making too free with a loaf in a baker's window; au Arnout was sent for, who, seizing the poor wretch by the hair of the head, dragged him, screaming most piteously ) before, the Inap..,iet-rate; every feeble attenrpt-be - Macle to escape not only provoked a blow from the . Herculean islander sufficient to fell an ox, but his hair was torn from his head. Without either trial or witnesses, he was instantly condemned to re ceive twenty strokes from the whip of a Cossack—a weapon, from its great size and weight, capable of inflicting a most severe punishment when wielded by a powerful executioner, which happened to be the case in the present instance. The unfortunate culprit was not only struck across the neck and shoulders, but on the head; then, covered with wounds and bruises, he was kicked out of the yard into the street. I en deavoured to prevail upon the judge to mitigate his sentence, which only excited a contemptuous sneer from him and the bystanders; but when I threw the poor wretch a handful of piastres, the greater number laughed heartily, most probably at the folly of a well-dressed man expressing sympathy fora miserable object, shivering in rags, and covered with dirt. The unhappy being himself was nut insensible to gratitude; kindness must indeed have been a stranger to him, for he threw himself on his face, and repeatedly kissed my feet.— Travels in the Western Caucasus. ARAB FAITH IN MEDICINE.—The Arabs in general con stantly have recourse both to charms and medicines nut only for the cure , but also for the prevention, of diseases. They have, indeed, a strange passion for medicine, which shows that they do not consider fate as altogether unconditional. Nothing can exceed the earnestness with which they often press a European traveller for a dose; and the more violent the remedy, the better are they pleased. The following case will serve as an example :—Three donkey-drivers, conveying the luggage of two British travellers from Boulak to Cairo, opened a bottle which they observed in a basket, and finding it to contain, as they had suspected, brandy, emptied it down their throats; but he who had the last, on turning up the bottle, got the tail of a scorpion into his mouth ; and looking through the bottle, to his great horror, saw that it contained a number of these reptiles, with tarantulas, vipers, and beetles. Thinking that they had poisoned themselves, but not liking to rely upon fate, they persuaded a man to come to me for medicine. Ile introduced the subject by saying, " 0 Efen di ! do an act of kindness : there are three men poisoned; in your mercy give them medicine, and save their lives :" and then he related the whole affair, without concealing the the theft. I replied, that they did not deserve medicine; bpt he urged that, by giving it, I should obtain an immense re ward. " Yes," said I ; " he who saveth a soul alive, shall be as if he had saved the lives of all mankind.' " I said this to try the feeling of the applicant, who, expressing admiration of my knowledge, urged me to be quick, lest the men should die; thus showing himself to be no unconditional fatalist. I . - -- --- ........,„. gave him three strong dosesof tartar emetic; and he soon came back to thank me, saying that the medicine was most admirable, for the men had hardly swallowep it, when they almost vomited their hearts and livers, and every thing else in their bodies.— Lane's Notes to his Translation of the Arabian Nights. *Dipping EnteMyna.

The supply of ,Beasts at market to-day has been somewhat smaller than that of last week, and notwithstanding the attendance of many country buyers, the prices are a little lower, and the mar ket has been rather heavy, except for that of good quality which was tolerably well sold up, leaving those remaining unsold of a very ordinary description. In sheep and Lambs the number has been also smaller than the . preceding week, but we cannot note any material aleration in prices from our last week's quotations. The best Beef may he quoted at 60 per lb. varying from that down to 5/d; good Wether Mutton sold at,about 6fd, middling 6id, ordinary and Ewes at a shade less ; Lambs sold from 6d to 6id per lb, and there were a good few Sheep and Lambs left unsold at the close of the market.

AUG. 8. Owing to the continuance of very unsettled weather, and the inconsiderable arrivals, both free and bonded Wheat was in de mand to-day, and an animated business was done, at an advance of Is. in the former, and on the latter of 2s, per quarter, on the prices of Monday. There was a good demand for Flour, and the advance reported on last market day was more than supported. Barley was also much inquired after, and was rather dear. The trade in malt was firm, and prices much the same as formerly. The arrivals of oats since our last have been quite trifling, and the trade was firm at an advance on our quotations. There was a fair demand for beans and peas, and former prices were fully main tained ; in some instances even a small advance was realised. The . reports from the country of the progress the growing crops are making towards maturity are anything but favourable. EUROPE.

Yesterday, there was a very animated demand, and the sales were 10,0:'0 bags. at very full prices; to-day the business amounts to 4,000, and the market has closed very steadily. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 7. During the chief part of the past week, a great deal of heavy rain has fallen partially throughout this district, which has been very injurious to the crops of Hay, not yet half secured; and as there has been very little sunshine, the weather as on the whole been unfavourable for the crops of Grain, particularly of Wheat, and very little progress has been made towards maturity ; and although moderate drying winds have prevented the grain hitherto from, being laid, and the general appearance of the crops is very luxur iant, reports from intelligent and practical observers are very un favourable of the crops of Wheat, which are said to be very defi cient, from a variety of causes, in quantity and quality; to an extent to which we are unwilling to give lull credence, and which we hope will prove exaggerated ;—in•consequerice of which and of diminish ing imports and stocks here of free Grain, unassisted by any Fo reign, Grain, on which (although the imports are increasing every week,) no duty can be expected to be paid thereon for some weeks to come, under the almost certain prospect of declining duties; — thus our consumption runs on our small stocks of free Wheat; and although the millers and dealers buy very sparingly, and there has been but little speculation in free Wheat, its value has further in creased 3d to 4d per 701 b; and Flour has been sold 4s to 5s per 2801 b. higher; for Oats and Oatmeal there has been an increasing demand at an advance of 2d to 3d per 45Th on the former, and Is to 2s on the latter ;—Barley being quite scarce, has obtained an in crease of 6(1 per 601 b ; and Beans and Peas have found sales at an advance of Is to 2s per qr ;—similar remarks are applicable to the Yorkshire markets of the past week ; and at Manchester on Satur day sales to a very fair extent were made of every article in the trade at fully the advanced prices above mentioned. At this day's market which was yery well attended by town and country millers and dealers; there was a most active demand for Wheat in bond, and a very large quantity here, and on the passage hither, changed hands at an advance since this day week, on the finest qualities of Is to Is 6d per 701 b, and on Flour of which some parcels have found sales at an advance of 2s to 3s per barrel ; there was also a better demand for Oats, Beans, and Peas in bond.—ln conse quence of the holders generally of free Grain demanding an advance of 6d per 701 b on Wheat, 3s to 4s per 2801 b on Flour, 3d to 44 per 451 b on Oats, and 3s to 4s per 2401 b on Oatmeal; sales were effected only to a limited extent, and premising that under such circum stances prices may be variously quoted, we endeavour to state them as correctly as possible as under. We have had very heavy ra in this morning, and the weather appears very unsettled ; the CCOlint from Mark-lane yesterday states an advance of 4s to 5s per qr on bonded and 2s to Os per qr on free Wheat, and a small advance on every other kind of Grain. tts 701 b a. d. s d English 10 9 .812 0 Scotch I 10 0 —ll 6 Irish Bonded 8 9 —lO 0 BARLEY, r: qr.
