• CONTEMPORARY PRESS. DUELLING, ( From th,e Morning Herald.) 44 It is vain to attempt the suppression of the practice of duelling by moral essays and appeals to religious principle so long as our statesmen and legislators sanc tion that absurd and barbarous practice by their ex ample. The law declares all deliberate fighting which ends in homicide to be murder, but the law-makers practic dly recommend by their conduct that which the law denounces, and while the statute-book puts the stamp of felony upon the bloody act of the successful duellist, and hands his persbn over to the public exe cutioner as a nuisance, only tit to he strangled in the ey,s of the people, the statute maker takes the instru ment of murder in his hand, points it at the breast of a fellow-creature for some paltry provocation, and co vers himself with a felon's ignominy to vindicate his He [nay honour. What can the moralist do in such a case e expound the Divine law, and ably and eloquent peal to its denunciations of Divine displeasure against those who deliberately shed the biot' of man "made in the Divine image," but the law of f.shion has su perseded the law of Christianity. He may argue upon merely moral grounds the folly and atrocity of the practice, but a tyrant custom tramples on ail moral considerations. He may, as the last resort, open the volume of the municipal law, and read the dreadful penalties of disgrace and death therein annexed to this species of homicide. He is answered by the ex ample of the law. maker, who hesitates not to patro nise the murderous practice, and to violate in his own person the law under which he has set up the gallows for the abatement of the nuisance Writers have variously accounted for the origin of duelling—some referring it to the judicial combat called ordeal of battle—the custom of an ignorant and superstitious age ; others to the tournaments and jousts of the days of chivalry, which, begun in sport, often led to real and fatal personal collisions. Others, again, will have it that the duello is of eastern origin, and not known in Europe before the time of the crusades. In a dissertation upon the propriety of the practice its origin is of little moment. It is sufficient to know that all accounts of its original introduction among the habits of European society agree in this, that it had its commencement to ttmes cornparatiaety narna rous, when force had more to do with the decision of right and the redress of wrongs titan reason and law. A morning contemporary offers a sort of defence for it by saying that " it appears to be an unfortunate ne cessity of civilisation." If it were a necessity of ci wilisation it would be universally found to prevail wherever civilisation flourished. Yet it is a fact that the most civilised nations of the classic ages knew no thing of it. The nations whose literature has carried refinement of taste, elegance of invention, exactness of reasoning, the force of eloquence, and the fascina tion of poetry to that perfection which has made their works models of excellence to all succeeding ages, knew nothing of that " necessity of civilisation" which consists in the modern absurdity of ' 6 gentlemanly sa tisfaction." That people who triumphed over slavery and barbarism at Marathon and Salamis—that other greater people who carried their arms and the arts of civilisation from the centre of Italy to the utmost-li mits of the known world, knew nothing of the honour able practice which has stained with the noble and ignoble blood of senators and sharpers, lords and li• nendrapers, military chiefs and man-milliners, the vic tims of gambling house squabbles and tavern warfare, the green turf of Wimbledon Common or Chalk Farm. It was not in such stupid and barbarous broils the courage of Greece or Rome signalised itself. The mistocles exclaimed to his exasperated opponent, "Strike me, but hear me;" and his countrymen re corded, for the admiration of all posterity, the sublime forbearance of one of their greatest statesmen and bravest warriors. The Romans conquered the world, but their courage was not nurtured by the practice of duelling. They knew nothing of premeditated mor tal combats for either the " point of honour" or per sonal revenge. Not in the strife of honourable " as sassination" was the lofty, the high-minded courage trained for the defence and glory of a country in whose cause " The self-devoted Deeii died, The Fabii fell, and the great Scipios conquered." - - It is not a great while since we felt it our duty to express our unmitigated disgust at a duel which sig nalised the " chivalry" of a British nobleman and the , husband of an opera singer. The Standard preceded us in that disagreeable task, and brought upon itself a flood of scurrilous abuse through the columns of most of its London contemporaries, which made us blush for the character of the British press. .Had the mur derer of the unfortunate dealer in fleecy hosiery and hair-triggers, at Wimbledon, been a " singing man," or the husband of a " singing lady"—we will not for the world say " woman"—public sympathy would be exhausted upon him. The chivalry of the feat would quite overshadow the bloody nature of the crime, and . any journal that was bold enough to brand with honest indignation the " accomplished" culprit, would 'be handed over by some of our high-minded and liberal contemporaries to the abuse and execration of name less correspondents, pouring on its devoted head the collected wrath of opera green-rooms and musical sa loons. But as it appears the principal is not a singer, or the husband of a singer, but one of Evans's merce naries, whose aunt is said to keep the Crown Inn at ' Taunton, it is possible that he may be - left to his fate without "Fops'-alley" and Grub street rising in arms, whenever he appears to take his trial at the Old Bailey. But the foolish and barbarous practice of duelling is not to be put down by the empty threat or even. the actual enforcement of capital punishment. The hang ing of Major Campbell for killing his brother officer Boyd in a duel had no effect in repressing the offence. , It is absurd to enact the penalty of death to put down a custom which consists in braving death to escape the imputation of fearing to die. Cowardice in regard of the opinion of the world is the great stimilus to duelling on the part of those who are not Trained and professed "assassins" in that line. We use the word "assassin" advisedly. Professed duellists are gene rally rank cowards, who rely upon their practice with the pistol against persons not accustomed to the use of . the weapon, and who have never qualified themselves at shooting galleries and such places for a trade in blood, as such "civilised" ruffians do. Professed duellists acquire a sort of sleight of hand in the use of the weapon, which enables them to take advantage of unpractised persons, more especially when "hair triggers" are employed; and what is that but cold blooded, deliberate assassination ? Though the pain of death cannot put down duel- ling, a life of disgrace and hard labour inflicted upon the "murderer" in this line would go far to produce that desirable effect. We have no objection to some examples being made in that way, which would con sign the gentlemanly homicide, whether he was a mi litary " scamp" or a " civil" bully, who relied upon his practice with " hair triggers" to a life of hard la bour in a chained gang in a penal settlement. The duelling hero's fashionable glory would no longeeshed a dangerous attraction when associated with the con vict's drudgery and the felon's doom. With regard to the practice of duelling among pub lic men, which chiefly grows out of political conflicts, a law which would render any man ineligible to apub lic office who engaged, either as principal or second, in a duel, would, if rigorously and impartially executed, probably put an end to it altogether. But the diffi culty is to get those who make the law to enact a law against themselves. As to a vet diet of murder against a duellist, such a thing is never known now-a days, except by a coroner's jury, which, of course, has only the effect of a bill of indictment, to put the accused party on his trial for the murder' when a sort of solemn farce is generally performed, ending in the sympathies of the audience being lavished on the culprit in the dock, who, having been satisfactorily proved to have murdered a fellow-creature, with the usual forms of honoui able assassination, receives a verdict of " ho nourable acquittal"—bows to the judge, who looks upon a vulgar murderer, perhaps, with a different eye —and walks home to put his whiskers and hiS• hair triggers in repair for future operations. Let the empty terror of a conviction for murder be taken awa y. Let the sentence of the blood stained duellist be that of aggravated manslaughter, with its degraded doom 4f transportation for life to a penal settlement, and duelling will he no longer a fashionable vocation. BoutooNx.—THE LATr. DuEl..—(Frvm a Correspondent.) —Mr. Eliot, one of the principals in the late fatal duel at Wimbledon Common, has b een residing at one of the prin cipal hotels in Boulogne fur the last fortnight, and is on very good terms with Young Dutch Saul, the pviist, who has been staving there ever since a verdict of mariTlaughter was returnedagainst him by a coroner's J ury, for assistitig in the killing of - Brighton Bill, in a prize fig ht. Both Eliot and Young Dutch Sam intend to remain at Boulogne until the affairs in which they were engaged are entirely blown over. Young Dutch Sam is supporied by the fancy, and dre sses well; but since his stay at Boulogne he has been remarkable for his steady habits and general good behaviour. Wecan not, however, say so much of Mr. Eliot and his associates, some of whom were engaged in the duel. They make no secret of the business in which they were concerned, and have been boasting of the part they acted. On Friday evening last Eliot favoured the people of Boulogne with a specimen of his pugilistic powers, by encountering three or four Frenchmen near the 'Bath establishment, who he con ceived had insulted him. In the vulgar slang of the ring, he pitched into the Frenchmen, who, however, were getting the hest of the affray, when an English coachman interfered in his behalf, and fur so doing was very speedily taken by the gendarmes from the box of his carriage, and conveyed to the guard-house for the night, leaving the horses to co where they pleased with the empty carriage. The coachman was taken before the proper tribunal on Saturday morning, and was allowed to depart after receiving an intimation that he would receive a summons when further proceedings were takow. Tha policy does not leave the place. Eliot continued to elude the vigi lance of the gendarmerie. Boulogne is really considered quite an asylum for those who dread the terrors of the law in Englatrd, and, no doubt, will in future be deemed a safe one, after the conduct pursued by the authorities in the case of Myers, whom they refused to deliver lip to an English police officer, although charged, on the verdict of a coroner's jury, since confirmed by the grand jury, ui wilful murder. It is well understood at Boulogne that any application on the part of those who may come armed with the coroner's warrant for Eliot's apprehension will be of no avail. 'ln Young Dutch Sam's case no attempt has ever been made to take him into 'custody, although some of his companions have beei found guilty of manslaughter. Since writing the above we hear that the English coachman has received a summons to appear before a tribunal on Friday next. He nevergot off his box, but it is feared be will be fined and imprisoned; so much for French police and French law .--Morning Chronicle. VALEDICTORY ADDRESS OF THE DEPUTATION FROM THE CHURCH IN UPPER CANADA. HAVING been deputed, with the Rev. Benjamin Cronyn, by the. Church in Upper Canada "to make known to the " Archbishops, Bishops, and Dignitaries of the United Church " of England and Ireland, the destitute state of her mem bers in the Canadas, and, with their permission, to take " such steps as might he found most expedient to interest our " brethren, both of the Clergy and Laity, in our favour, and " excite in their hearts a desire, as they have the ability, to " assist us iu supplying the spiritual wants of our people, and " in building► up a branch of the United Church in those ex " teusive provinces ;"—and being now on the eve of my re turn, it ir•ill not, I trust, appear inopportune, briefly to state the results of our mission - The lamented indisposition and subsequent demise of our belbved Bishop (of Quebec) rendered a direct communication with his Grace the Primate indispensably necessary to our proceedings. I have felt it my duty to maintain uninterrupted that communication, by transmitting to his Grace copies of (-very letter of importance which I have either written or re ceived. it is scarcely necessary to say chat his Grace has un ceasingly manifested the liveliest interest in our cause. From the other Archbishops, and from many of the Bishops, we have received similar assurances of sympathy, and full permissiout to preach and hold public meetings in their dioceses. We have presented our humble memorial to our most L Jacious sovereign the Queen. To the Imperial Legislature our petition for relief has been submitted, which in the Elouse of Peers gave rise to an animated and interesting discussion. With her Majesty's Government I have used every legiti mate effort to procure a Bishop, and some alleviation to our spiritual wants. We have brought the state of our Church personally under the attention of about two thousand of our Clergy, and one uniform expression of interest has been the result. The. Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin have given public proof of their pet-Suasion that the prospe rity of the colonial members of the Church is necessary to the well-being of the national Zion. The Members of both Ho-uses of Parliament have been supplied with a Copy of the " History of she Church in Upper Canada ;" and from many I have received unequivocal testimony that the subject is considered by them as worthy of most serious considera tion. Several members of both Houses have openly espoused the interests of our deserted Zion. Many of the first news papers and periodicals in the land have directly, and ably, and gratuitously advocated our cause, given publicity to our proceedings, and drawn attention to our printed statenients. About three thousand copies of our " History" have been circulated, and nearly two hundred thousand Appeals. We have peached and held public meetings, in more than one half the dioceses in England, and have travelled little less than six thousand miles. From many of the places we have visited petitions have been presented to Parliament. I have now openings in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset. Glou cester, Wilts, Hants, Surrey, Berks, Warwick, Suffolk, Lin „i", gaud Voris °floc,. words, lab...dant .4uoup.stivra fox another near: but I am induced to decline any further pro ceedings for reasons which appear conclusive to my own mind : First,—l believe that the great object of our mission has been attained; information has been circulated, and the pub lic attention has been consequently drawn to our destitute state. Relief, therefore, cannot long be delayed. Secondly,—The " Society for the Propagation of the Gospel" has taken up the cause of the British North Ame rican Church in good earnest, has pledged itself to send out forty Missionaries; is now occupied in holding meetings, and sending preachers throughout the'country ; and, as I under stand, purposes to employ a Clerical Secretary in every diocese, in order, that by a systematic parochial arrange ment, the energies of the Church may be called into action. No real lover of his Church can *ad. the published account 'of the proceedings at Willis's rooms, in June last, without unfeigned gratitude to God for the prospect of a speedy alle viation to our Colonial destitution. (1 cannot refrain from remarking here, otr a most unaccountable mis-statement which has been put into the Bishop of London's Speech, viz., that we, in Upper Canada, " have already built three hundred and sixty churches, at an expense of £2OO each." I have written, and preached, and printed, and pleaded, that WE WANT that number of Churches. Such an error ought not to have appeared under the authority of the Society.) I should fear now, under this altered and most encouraging position of the Society, lest the prosecution of my individual labours in England, might be interpreted into an interfer ence with the plans of the Society. 'Thirdly,—lt is now certain that a " Queen's letter" has been granted for collections in all Churches and Chapels,— the proceeds to be distributed by the " Society for the Pro pagation of the Gospel." About a year ago I made a most urgent appeal to his Grace the Primate to obtain such a, letter for Upper Canada exclusively. We shall doubtlessly have our share in the national bounty, and therefore it might not be considered expedient to anticipate, by my own private efforts, this public appeal. ,Fourthly,—The " Upper Canada Clergy Society" has in. creased the number of its missionaries. I trust the auxilia ries and agencies which I have formed and established for the society will be diligently visited. I understand from the treasurer and secretary that the committee are resolved to carry on the labours of the society with every possible energy. I am anxious to give publicity to this statement, inasmuch as under an erroneous impression received at a committee meet ing, I observed, in my "History," that the society would cease to exist as soon as the " Society for the Propagation of the Gospel" had succeeded in effectually relieving the spiri tual necessities of the Province. Fifthly,—My own flock in Upper Canada have reiterated the expression of their desire, to which expression my Dio cesan, the Bishop of Montreal, has given the sanction of his assent, that I should return to my labours amongst them. They have patiently endured an absence of eighteen months: and few parishes in England could have more cheerfully sacri ficed to the public good, the ministrations of their appointed pastor. On taking leave of our numberless friends in England, I may be permitted briefly to place before them, and the public generally, the actual state of spiritual destitution of Britain's population in Upper Canada, the vast majority of which are of the poorer classes, and consequently utterly unable to pro cure spiritual instruction for themselves. Upper Canada is equal in extent to England and \Vales, and is partially inhabited throughout this entire extent of country. The roads are always bad and frequently almost impassable. The population' exceeds 500,000. The efficient Clergy, (I say efficient, for many have spent their years and strength in their "labour of love") amount to about sixty. To judge aright of our destitution, it may be necessary to speak of England's spiritual riches. The population of England may be estimated at fourteen millions, and the Clergy at jrfleeh housand. Assuming the facilities of communication to be iqual in both countries, our proportion of Clergymen, accord ng to the relative state of the population of the two coun tries, should be six hundred. We have, therefore, sixty attempting in a sphere occupied in England by fifteen thou sand. to do the work of six hundred. Or thus: take away thirteen thousand five hundred Clergymen front the ChOrcii of England, and then would the destitution here be equal to that which our fellow-countrymen and fellow-churchmen are enduring in Upper Canada. These are very plain but very appalling facts. Ought these things so to, be? Let th'e Church in England distinctly say No ! I venture to suggest and urge on the attention of the Clergy and Laity of the Church, the absolute necessity of forwarding petitions to the Imperial Legislature. One may be expected from Upper Canada. The Universities of the land will, doubtless, take the lead. Let every town and congregation follow the ex ample. We need a Bishop. No Bishop—no Church. Is it right that the Romish Church should have a Bishop and Priests maintained at the public expense in Upper Canada where their followers form but a small fraction of the popula tion, and that encouragement should be given to various sectaries in the province, while to our National Church the right and privilege of a Bishop should be distinctly refused ? I know we have one Bishop in Lower Canada;-but is he sufficient to take the Episcopal charge of a country 1400 miles in length, three times the size of England, and con taining a population of 1,100,000 souls ? We need assistance in the maintenance of ministers, the restoration of the "rant to the "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel," and e' an annual grant for clearing portions of the "Clergy Reserves." for glebes, as the growing wants of the colony require. Let Christian England be reminded, even by every hamlet, of its high and holy duty to provide for the spiritual instruction of its subjects, to the remotest boundary of its possessions. Let all remember, that the evil we complain of is continually increasing. In every petition let the prayer be strongly expressed that the Imperial Parlia ment would forthwith proceed to the settlement of the ques tion of the "Clergy Reserves,"—because so long as the sub ject remains in its present state there can be ma peace in the province—because the Legislative Council have unanimously and repeatedly deprecated the agitation of the question in the province, and a large majority in the House of Assembly have constantly dissented front the method of disposal pro posed by the majority, and because the Imperial Legislature alone can definitively decide the question. The public need only read the Act, (31 Geo. iii. c. 31 § 35-42) to be per suaded, that to the Clergy of the Church of England alone these lands belong. I am prepared also to show front the correspondence of the Government of the day, with General Simcoe, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, that such Was the only construction of the act then thought of. Let no "appropriation clause" be forced upon us. The Bishop ric of Sodor and Man was saved by petitions. It was my in tention, had 1 remained in England, to have published at the opening of the next session of Parliautent, a form of petition embracing these several objects, but I am persuaded these suggestions will be abundantly sufficient. In conclusion. may 1 be permitted to express the hope that some of my brethren in the Ministry, who, in our personal interviews have exhibited the most lively sympathy in our need, will be led to offer themselves as labourers in this most deserted portion of the Lord's vineyard ? How thankful should I be to renew our intercourse in Upper Canada, and to assist them by my experience of the country, in entering on the sphere appointed for their future ministrations ! May the great Head of the Church inspire the members of his body here with the spirit of sympathy and love towards His destitute members in our Colonies. WILLIAM BE'I"I'RIDGE, B. D., Rector of Woodstock, Upper Canada. London, - September, 12th, 1838. A " LONG YARN."—The longest "yarn" ever spun is now manufacturing at the ropery of Messrs. Haggle, at Gateshead. This rope, when finished, will he four thousand eight hundred yards in length, extending to nearly three miles. An invita tion has been given to all those strangers to inspect it. in the course of spinning, "who may have a taste for lung and tough spun yarns." We refer with the liveliest satisfaction to the meetings at Greenock and Dunoon, to receive Dr: Chalmers. The meet ing at Greenock was most triumphant. The house was crowded to the outer lobby, notwithstanding the torrents of rain that fell on that day. - The provost and magistrates oc cupied a pew in the front gallery. Every one who heard Dr. Chalmers, speaks of his address as unanswerable; and we are informed that it made a deep impression on many dissenters who attended. The meeting at Dunoon was also very suc cessful. This week the rev. doctor meets with the presbyte ries of Irvine and Ayr, the former at Kilmarnock, and the latter at Ayr, where great assemblies are expected.—Scottish Goat dian. STEAmPL9UGH.—Among the new inventions in France, is one which is much talked of among speculators and manu facturers. It is a steam plough of very peculiar construction, with which, it is said, four miles of ground can be excavated with an engine of only eight horses' power, to the depth of a foot and breadth of two feet, in a single hour. The projector of the canal from Orleans to Nantes, which, under ordinary circumstances, would require at least five years for its con struction, pretends that in one year, the whole would be com pleted by the use of this machine, and that the saving in mere interest of capital would amount to forty thousand pounds sterling. A friend of mine, who is one of the best engineers in Europe, tells me that he has seen the instrument, and that, with some ameliorations, he believes it would accomplish all that has been stated. The earth, as it is turned up, is thrown into a sort of sail, which throws it to a distance of sixty feet.

The rpeeting was addressed by Mr. Sankey, Mr. Finlayson, Mr. Fraser, hnd Mr. Abram buncan, the latter of whom de nounced the present movement against the corn laws, as an expedient got up by the whigs to distract the attention of the working classes from more pressing and more useful agitation. On the motion of Mr. Hamilton, seconded by Mr. Sutherland, it was unanimously agreed to appoint Messrs. Fraser and and Duncan as delegates to attend the meeting in London. In their advertisement, which will be found in our thiid page, they describe the assemblage as having amounted to 20 , 006 persons.

THE EXQUISITES or NEW ZEALAND.—The countenances of all were entirely bedaubed with a solution of the red koko wai earth. A few had dipped their heads within a large cala bash, containing this rouge dissolved in Water, which formed a plaster, whose brilliancy was enhanced by a stain of the blue earth, called parakawahiu, which was used to encircle the right eye and half of the temple. The effect of this latter pigment was best visible in the dance, when at intervals the white of the eve only is displayed. Feathers decorated the heads, which bad been carried in a carved box by one of the party, who had collected a• large quantity on the sea beach, from the dead tare, or ganneta, we had passed in our route. All the finery that had been bestowed on them by Europeans, such as cast-off clothing, which are not repudiated tan hastily • by their wearers in New Zealand, were sported on this ocea- sum. The sole article of dress on one of these exquisites was a tattered brown waistcoat, that reached a foot and some inches below the throat of the wearer, the nether man being exposed in. ; purls naturalibity. Another had put on a shirt, whose original hue had been from times remote undistinguish- .• able, This was fastened round the loins by, the sleeves, forming au apron fur the wearer: a native mat covered the shoulders. One youth bad inserted himself into the body of a woman's gown, which served as a jelia, his extremities being incased in an old red baize shirt, the sleeves of which answered the purposes of trousers for the legs. A pair of duck trousers were tied round the throat of one young chief. —Polack's Seven Years' Residence in New Zealand. HEIGHT OF WATER IN THE CANADIAN LAKES. — WC understand that Mr. Alfred Barrett, chief engineer upon the western section of the Erie Canal, with Mr. D. Jay Brown, assistant-engineer, visited Port Dalhousie, at-the mouth of the Welland Canal, last week, to examine the water-marks made - in 1825, and ascertain the comparative height of water in Lake Ontaria from' that period to this. On examination they learned that since the year 1825 that lake had been gra dUatly ...na within thtca 7 c0.. Q .nt ro l l illy atscereaSiln! to volume, and is now six feet eight inches higher than in 1825. It has fallen since the Ist of July two inches, so that the entire rise of water has been six feet and ten inches. — Lake Erie, as near as can be ascertained, from water-marks at the foot of the lake, and at Black Rock harbour, has risen only about four feet, or something less. And the Niagara river below, about the same, the comparative height of the river and lake not varying over two inches since 1826. Lake Erie has apparently fallen eight inches from its great est height in June; and from the extraordinary hot weather to the present summer, and the consequent evaporation go ing on, it would not be surprising if the lake should fall 18 or 20 inches by the Ist of December. The lakes appear to be following the present year a similar course to what they did in 1818, after the very high stages of water which suc ceeded the cold and wet seasons of 1815, 1816, and 1817. During those three years they rose rapidly ; and in the spring and early summer of 1818 were much higher than they had been for many years previous, although not so high as now. But in the hot summer of 1818 the evaporation reduced the lakes nearly two feet in depth, and they continued to fall gradually in each successive year, till about 1821-2, and there remained without much change till 1826-7-8; since which they have been continually gaining in height and volume.— BitPlo Commercial Advertiser. HALLEY'S COMET--At the late meeting of the British As sociation of Science, at Newcastle. Sir William Herschel made the following remarks on this comet:—" One of the most interesting series of observations, of a miscellaneous kind, I had to make at the Cape of Good Hope was that of Halley's comet. This cornet is the great glory of modern cal culation. To see the predicted return of such a body now verified for the second time, trite to a single day—nay, to a Courts. few hours—of his appointed time, after an absence of seventy five or seventy-six years, during which it has been subjected to the unceasing perturbations of all the planets, and especi ally persecuted by Jupiter and Saturn, those great stumbling blocks bf comets, is really superb. However, what I have now to relate refers to a very singular and instructive. fact in its physical history. I saw the cornet for the first time, after its perihelion passage, on the night of the 25th of January. Mr. Maclear saw it on the 24th. From this time we, of course, both observed it regularly - . Its appearance at first was that of a round, well-defined disc, havitig near its centre a very sman bright object exactly like a small comet, and surrounded by a faint nebula. This nebula, in two or three more nights, was absorbed into the disc, and disappeared entirely. Mean while, the disc itself dilated with extraordinary rapidity; and by measuring its diameter at every favourable opportunity, and laying down the measures by a projected curve, I found the curve to be very nearly a straight line, ictlicating a uni form rate of increase; and by tracing back this line to its iutersectiou with its axis, I was led, at the time, to this very singular conclusion,—viz. that on the 21st of January, at 2h. p. m. the disc must have been a point—or ought to have no magnitude at all ! in other words, at that precise epoch some very remarkable change in the physical condition of the comet must have commenced. Well: all this was speculation. But here comes the matter of fact 1 refer to, and which, observe, was communicated to me no longer ago than last month by the venerable Olbers, whom I visited an my passage through Bremen, and who was so good as to show me a letter he had just received from M. Boguslawski, professor of astronomy at Breslau, in which be 'states that he had actually procured an observation of that comet on the night of the 21st of January. Well, then, how di it appear ? why, as a star of the sixth magnitude—a bright concentrated poiut, which showed no disc, with a rnagnifaing power of 140! And that it actually was the comet, and no star. he satisfied himself, by turning his telescope on that point where he had seen it. It was gone! Moreover, he had taken care to secure, by actual observation, the place of the star he observed; that place agreed to exact precision with his computation : that star was the comet, in short. Now, I think this observation every way remarkable. First, it is remarkable for the fact, that M. Boguslawski was able to observe it at all on the 21st. This could not have been done, had he nut been able to direct his telescope point blank on the spot, by calculation, since it would have been impossi ble in any other way to have known it from a star. And, in fact, it was this very thing which caused Maclear and myself to miss procuring earlier observations. lam sure that I must often hare swept, with a night-glass, over the very spot where it stood in the mornings before sunrise. And never was astonishment greater than mine at seeing it riding high in the sky, broadly visible to the naked eye, when pointed out tome by Mr, Maclear, who saw it with no less amazement on the 24th. The next remarkable feature is the enormously rapid state of dilatation of the disc and the absorption into it of all trace of the surrounding nebula. Another is the interior cometic nucleus. All these phenomena, while they contradict every other hypothesis that has ever been advanced, so far as I can see, are quite in accordance with the theory on the sub ject, which I suggested on the occasion of some observations of Biela's comet,—a theory which sets out from the analogy of the precipitation of mists and dews from a state of transpa rent vapour on the abstraction of heat. It appears to me, that the nucleus and grosser parts of the cornet must have been entirely evaporated during its perihelion, and reprecipitated during its recess from the sun, as it came into a colder region ; anti that the first moment of this precipitation was precisely that I have pointed out as the limit of the existence of the disc,—viz. on the 21st of January, at two p. in. or perhaps an hour or two later."—alikencerim. DISCOVERY OF A MARINE SAURIAN ANIMAL—For the last twenty years, anatomists have agreed that the extinct saurians must have inhabited tire sea, although no living ma rine reptile was known. They argued, that, as there are now Chelonians, like the tortoise, living in fresh water, and others,' as the turtle, frequenting the ocean, so there may have en formerly some saurians proper to salt, others to fresh water. The recent diseovery, however, of a maritime saurian, has now rendered it unnecessary to speculate on such possibilities. This creature was found on the Galapa gos Islands, during, the visit of 11. M. S. Beagle to that archi pelago in 1835; and its habits were then observed by Mr. Darwin. The islands alluded to are situated under the equa tor, nearly six hundred miles to the westward of the coast of South America. They are volcanic, some of them being three thousand or four thousand feet high; and one of them, Albemarle Island, seventy-five miles long. The climate is mild; very little rain falls; and, in the whole archipelago, there is only one rill of fresh water that reaches the coast. The soil is, for theamost part, dry and harsh, and the vege tation scanty. The birds, reptiles, plants, and insects are, with very few exceptions, of species found nowhere else in the world, although all partake, in their general form, of an American character. Of the inammalia, says Mr. Darwin, one species alone appears to be indigenous, namely, a large and peculiar kind of mouse; but the number of lizards, tor toises, and snakes, is so great, that it may be called a land of reptiles. The variety, indeed, of species is small; but tire individuals of each are it, wonderful abundance. There is a turtle, a large tortoise ( Tested° indicus,) four lizards, and, about the same number of snakes, but no frogs ortoads. Two of the lizards belong to the family Iguaniclie of Bell, and to a peculiar genus (Amblyrhynchus) established by that natural ist; and so named from their obtusely-truncated head and short snout. Of these lizards, one is terrestial in its habits, and burrows in the ground, swarming everywhere on the. land; having a round tail and a mouth somewhat resembling in form that of the tortoise. The other is aquatic, and has its tail flattened laterallY, for swimming. "This marine saurian," says Mr. Darwin, "is extremely common ou ail the islands throughout the archipelago._ It lives, exclusively on the rocky sea beaches, and d Rever saw one even ten yards in-shore. The usual length is about a yard, but there are some even four feet long. It is of a dirty black. colour, sluggish in its movements on the land; but, when in the wa ter, it swims with perfect ease and quickness, by a serpentine movement of its body and flattened tail, the legeduring this time being motionless and closely collapsed on its sides. Their limbs and strong claws are admirably adapted for crawl aver the rugged and fissured masses of lava which every where form the coast. In such situations, a group of six or seven of these hideous reptiles may oftentimes be seen on the black rocks, a few feet above the surf, basking in the stm with outstreched legs."—Lyell's Elements of Geology. Power, of Russia.--.eSoine grave politicians who under value the power of Russia, and think that Messrs, Roths child are the arbiters of peace or war, significantly allude to what they call her vulrierable point ; they talk of her financial embarra;iments, and assert that the want of money will pre vent a collision. Perhaps these reasoners are not aware that, personally, the Emperor of Russia possesses, in territorial property alone, a revenue ten times more considerable than any civil list in Europe; that, speaking . financially, Russia has nothing to lose and every thing to gain, from the moment that the seat of.war is carried beyond the frontiers; besides; that her internal administration Is less expensive than any other; that her levies of troops are collected with a surprising economy for the crown, and at the cost of the landed pro prietors; that every military expedition, once out of a country e at , i r o e n , as t which her eciasn scarcely hardly etcootrud a turn t ike ltussia, out leistoa speculation a empire, treaty of peace signed between that power and her adver saries by which she did not ultimately gain seine augmenta tion to her own territory.—Raikes's City of the Czar. PARTRIDGE .BOOTING IN SOUTH AmERICA.—The large partridge of South America is about the size of a plump barn-door fowl. When it rises, this partridge takes a per pendicular flight of about forty yards, and then darts off with prodigious velocity in a direction undeviatingly horizontal. When shot in this latter direction of its.flight, it falls with such a headlong and precipitate impulse, as to make it bound to some distance from the spot at which it first touches the ground. Of all the shooting, grouse, woodcock, pheasant, blackceck, partridge, snipe, ptarmigan, there is none equal "far intenaoty of delight and excitement to this of the large South American partridge. He is called, par excellence, " perdriz g,rande," or large partridge. His scent is so strong that from the moment your dog comes upon it, the agitation of his frame is all but hysterical. 'The bird, before he will rise, runs at a prodigious rate; and if your dog, in coming upon - him, as an English dog does when 'he has traced a covey, should stop and lie down, you would never get a shot. The bird is off the moment his quick ears or his natural in stinct has told him his pursuers are near; not off by flight, but by a race which commences in suspicion and fear, and terminates in absolute precipitation. So that for the chance of shooting your bixd, you are obliged to encourage your dog to go in upon him, to follow tip yourself the glknie with un remitting alacrity, and to pay, with palpitating satisfaction. after perhaps a ten minutes' run, for the achievement of bringing down, in all his irresistible career of flight, the goodly priie you have so breathlessly pursued,—Robertson's Paraguay. In Russia no military man wears coloured clothes. A young friend of mine asking a Russian officer if he always wore his uniform, his answer was, " I was born and shall die in it."—The Marquis of Londonderry's Tour to the Northern INSECTS OF THE GOLD COAST.—A new species of the Go liath us beetle is an object of commercial as well as entomo logical value, as much as £5O having been given for a speci men. Formerly £2O to £25 was an ordinary price. DINNER UPON A LARGE SCALE.-Dr. Shaw, who pub lished his travels into Africa and Egypt, gives the following account of a family dinner prepared by the Emperor of Morocco. At the top there was fish, consisting of a whale, boiled, and a few sturgeons and porpoises, fried, roun). it: at the bottom, the bind quarter of an elephant. On one side, a brace of lions fricasseed ; on the other side, the neck of a camel, made kabab (as the Dr. calls it,) or, in plain English, cabobbed. The second course :—A brace of ostriches roasted. On the one side, a griffin, and a dish of cranes and storks; on the other, a pOtteci crocodile. There was no butcher's meat; but a roasted buffalo at the side table. The Doctor says he only picked the short ribs of a lion, which Louse his own expression, was a delicious morsel. What can we say to brother J onathan after this ? TULIKISH PaovEnßs. — A small stone often makes a great noise. A foolish friend is, at times, a greater annoyance than a wise enemy. You'll not sweeten your mouth by saying " honey." If a man would live in peace he should be blind, deaf, and dumb. Do good and throw it into the sea, if the fish know it not, the. Lord will. Who fears God need not fear man. If thy fos • he as small as a knat,, fancy him as large as an elephant. They who know most are the oftenest cheated. A man who weeps for every one will soon have lost his eye-sight. More is learned from conversation than from books. A friend is of more worth than a kinsman. He rides seldom who never rides any but a borrowed horse. .Trust not to the whiteness of his turban, be bought the soap on credit. Death is a black camel, that kneels before every man's dour. RUISIAN GAMING.—At every evening party in this town, besides the "usual rubber of whist, there is a table with dice, appropiated to the game of passe dix, at which a very dirty custom prevails. The scores are marked by each player with chalk on the card-table, and a little brush is used to ' • ' • alter the sums, as they vary, every minute, which has a very slovenly appearance; at times, the brush is too actively em ployed in effacing a debt before it has been liquidated. Some years back, at court, where the same custom likewise existed, the empress-mother, at the close of the game, found a defi ciency in the sum which she was entitled to receive; and very naturally asked who was to make good her winnings. Mr. de -----, who was the real defaulter, and probably thought that his imperial creditor could not want the money, very calmly replied, " Madame, ce sera, sans doute, Messrs. Brosse et Co. qui payent tout." As we are on the subject of play,. J may add, that an incident occurred the other day at the house of Madame -, to which, though it is huzhod up, I only allude to show that it came to my knowledge; and as I have no wish to propagate evil reports, you will excuse my mentioning any names. A general officer, whose name is well known, was detected by one of his own friends in un fair play at icarie, and publicly reproached with it; this cir cumstance has not prejudiced his reception in the world, as it would hive done in,uther countries.—liciikes's City . tf the Czar. STEAM NAVIGATION.-At the late meeting of the British Association, at Newcastle, Mr. J. S. Russell mentioned the following experiments, which he said had been made. Two fitty-horse power engines had been taken out of a vessel, and two sixty-horse power engines put in their place. When the propelling power was tao fifties, the velocity of the vessel was ten miles and three-quarters per hour. When it was two sixties, the velocity with which the, vessel moved was ten miles and six-tenths per hour. Here then was an increase of power, a greater expenditure of fuel, and the increase of the velocity was only three-tenths of a mile. Another expe riment was made on two vessels, one or 450 tons, and the other of 500 tons burthen. The larger vessel was propelled by two engines of 300-horse power, and the smaller one by two of 150-horse power. The larger vessel, with the double power, proceeded at the rate of nine miles and a half an hour, while the smaller one moved at the rate of nine miles and a quarter an hour: This instance he thought extremely satis tactory : the smaller vessel had the proper form that a vessel should have, and the larger one had not. He was, therefore, of opinion, that the form of the vessel was the direction in which we should look for improvement. Indeed, he thought it probable that, ere long, we should have vessels of double the length, for a given breadib, that they at present generally are. The objection to an increased length, from the danger of what is called " breaking the back," might be, in a great measure, removed by a proper system of diagonal framing. Another important consideration is, that the linear dimen sions of a vessel being► doubled, the capacity is increased eight-fold; but the increase in the resistance need not be more than twofold. THE FOLLY OF GOING ABROAD FOR HEALTH . .—England is the worst place in the world for people in bad health. In other countries the invalid has as many of the comforts of home heaped about them-as possible. Decay looses half its misery when it gradually creeps upon hint amid old familiar faces, in the hearing of well known voices, and in scenes that he has known from boyhood. Fatigue and anxiety are care fully avoided, and at last he is buried in his own parish, and wept over by his own friends. But in this extraordinary country of ours things are very differently managed. A man may as well commit a felony as show symptoms of a cough. Sentence of banishment is immediately passed on him—he is hurried off from his own valleys—from his own stout walls and sheltering plantations to inhabit some marble half fur nished palazzo, in a climate where the winter is so short that it has not been provided against at all; and where, therefore, when it does come—and even Naples is sometimes deep in snow—it comes, as the vulgate hath it with a vengence. Far away from home, with strangers around him, a language he does not understand—doctors in whom he has no confi dence—scenery he is too ill to admire—religious comforters in whom he a bas no faith—with a deep and every day more vivid recollection of domestic scenes —heart broken—home sick—friendless and uucared for—he dies. And why—why, in heaven's name, is a man hurried across Europe for the chance of meeting with a mild climate, when any one cats see in a moment that climate alone can be of no possible use, but that,in order to be efficacious, it must have accessories which the softest of Italian skies cannot compensaete for the want of? But besides all these,—and leaving out of consi deration alltogether the enormous expense of so long and painful a journey—is it absolutely indispensable that the sufferer (if change of scene and atmosphere be recommended) should be dragged over foreign roads, and pillaged and neglected at foreign inns? Englandhas in its own boundaries varieties enough of climate and temperature to suit almost any complaint—the coast of Devon, beautiful and romantic —Malvern, splendid and airy—Da.wlish—Hastings—Shank lin—Bowchurch—some one or all of these places within easy journeys of any part of England—all of them within reach of moderate fortunes, and what is, is our estimation, the greatest recommendation of all, all of them within the sound of " the church-going bell." There are some symptoms of returning sense on this subject to be perceived in the increas ing size of all the villages along the sautheru coast. From Dover to . the Land's-End there are little nests of cottages. studding all the bays and inlets, provided with wide, green verandahs against the summer sun, and placed in the middle of little gardens and green fields running close down to the sea. There will very soon be no such thing as "a rapture on the lonely shore." People who enjoy a sea view must be con tent to do so in company of half the world ; for it is not to be supposed (however much those sheltered situations owe their attraction to the salubrity of their climate, and its adaptation to the cure of certain complaints,) that their visiters are limited to those who require their assistance in restoring theth to health: From June to the end of October all the seaward roads are choked with whole families, whose jocund faces and loud laughter show that the journey forms •no part of a medical prescription —rolling downwards in one continuous - stream, in "whiskey, buggy, gig, and dogcart, curricle and tandem," not forgetting coaches, railways, and all manner of chaises, to spend a few weeks at the seaside. Rooms are engaged for days and days before—cocklofts are emptied of old potato-sacks, and fitted up with nice French beds—chintz curtains are hung up at the windows, and the dog-kennel in the back-yard converted into an arbour, with honeysuckles creeping over the roof. The habits of simple villagers are entirely changed; the geography of the parish becomes a study Of some difficulty to the oldest inhabitants; walks are cut through plantations where walks were unknown before; flag staffs about ten feet high are erected'on hillocks, and orna-, mented with Union-Jacks about two feet square; booths are opened with a few shells appearing at the window, and digni fied with the name of imperial bazaars;—for the nomen clature is no less changed than the topography. What used to be Bill Newsham's pig stye is now Belvidere hall; Tom Symmonde's cottage is Pomona's Bower ; and for four months in the year the quiet hamlet is in a complete masque rade. As the winter approaches, a recurrence to the ordinary state of things is gradually perceived- The real invalids— those for whose ostensible benefit all these changes have taken place—stay peaceably in' the warns parlours which the rioters have left—all January, February, and even in the bleak days of March, they wander among the deep lanes and scarcely leafless hedge-rows, and after their walk or their well wrapt up ride in the donkey-chaise, they come back to their blazing fire in the ivy-covered cottage that yields their wasted forns, health in the breeze and shelter in the storm. Such are the transmigrations through which the villages ois the south coast annually pass, and more benefit, we will be hold to say, is experienced by a winter residence its one of them than by a toilstitrie pilgrimage to 'Nice or Naples.—Blackwood. THE CONGREVE ROCKET. — The very flight of.the Con' greve rocket is startling; it springs from the ground in a volume of flame; and then rushes along with a continued roar, with its large head blazing, and striking point-blank, and with tremendous force, at the distance of a mile or more. In a siege it is already extremely formidable. It bursts through roofs; it fixes itself wherever it cats bore its way; and it inflames everything that is combustible. Stone walls can only repel it, and that not always. This weapon may be regarded as almost exclusively English in its use, as well as its origin. It will be like the English how its the fifteenth century. In the next- war.what an extraordinary change will take place in all the established instruments of putting men out of the world ! We shall be attacked at once, above, around, and below. We shall have the balloon showering fire upon us front miles above our •heads; the steam-gun levelling us from walls and ramparts, before we can come within distance to dig a trench ; the Congreves setting our tents, ammunition-waggons, and ourselves in a blaze in our first sleep; and the steam-boat running and do ing mischief everywhere. But of all those mischief-makers I should give the palm to the rocket. No infantry on earth could stand for five minutes within five hundred yards of a well-served rocket battery. Half a dozen trollies of half-a dozen of these fiery arrows would break the strongest bat talions into fragments, lay one half dead on the ground, 'and send the other blazing and torn over the field. The heaviest fire from guns is nothing to their effect. It wants the direct ness, the steadiness, the flame, and, resulting from all those, the terror. If the British troops shall ever come into the field without an overwhelming force of rockets, they will throw away the first chance of victory that ever was lost by national negligence. Nothing can be inure obvious than that this tremendous weapon has not even yet arrived at its full capacity for war on a great scale.—Blackwood for September. Great, reader, are the mysteries of grammarians! Dr. Johnson considered but as only a conjunction; whereas, says Mr. Todd, it is in fact a conjunction, preposition, advert, and interjection, as Dr. Adam Smith long since ingeniously proved. With Horne Took it is a verb to boot, .being ac cording to him the imperative of the Saxon beon-utan, to be out; but in .this Mr. Todd supposes him to be out himself. And Noah Webster says it is also a participle and noun. Pity that , some one has not proved it to be a pronoun; for then it would have belonged to all the eight parts of speech. Great are the mysteries of grammarians ! O reader! had you in your mind Such stores as subtlety can bring, 0 gentle reader! you would find A mystery in every thing. . For once, dear reader, I, who pride myself upon lucid order of arrangement and perspicuity of language, instead of mak ing; which I have heretofisre done,.and . shall hereafter do, the train of my associations as visible as the tract of a hare in the dewy grass or in the snow, will let it be as little apparent as that of a bird its the air, or a serpent on a rock ; or as Walter Landor in his poems, or his brother Robert's, whose poetry has the true Landorean obscurity, as well as the Lan derean strength of diction, and the Landorean truth and beauty of feeling and of thought: perhaps there is no other instance of so strongly marked an intellectual family like ness. Thus having premised, I propound the following question :—Of all the birds in the air, and all the beasts in the field, and all th'e fishes in the sea, and all the creatures of inferior kind, who pass their lives wholly, or in part, ac cording to their different stages of existence, in air, earth, or water, what creature has produced, directly or indirectly, the most effect upon mankind ?—That which you, reader, will deserve to be called, if you do not, after a minute's re flection, answer the question rightly. The goose !—Now, reader, you have hit the but.—The Doctor. eS b ippttig Intelligente. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.
