Vortrp. WINTER. Opprect with care, with lengthened toil opprest, Trembling 1 see thee, Winter, as along The leafless wood thou mov'st, thy pile form bent To the rude gale, which round thee with hoarse swig Murmurs, playing as if in idle scorn With thy hoar looks, and thy sad aged heart. Yet why despond ? Bowed as th,nt art and turn By time, thou yet aunin to life shalt start Beauteous as SPRING. And thus could I repose Calmly in slumbers cold, and death's long gloom, If all forzetful of my former woes, I could like thee, oh ! Winter, spurn the tomb. Then he thou welcome, Death, whose wintry night, Leads to an endless Spring of true delight, VERAX THE WREATH OF FAME. AT C. swum. (From the" Forget Me Not," for 1837.) He told me of a laurel %wreath That he would bring ere long : He told me that young Fame should breathe— Should love his name and song : And there was feeling in his tone, And rapture in his eye, A passion like an Angel's own, For things that could not die. He told me we should dwell with lore In some most dear retreat ; With evening's starry smile above, And flowers around our feet ; Mr faithful page his greyhound fleet, O'er Nature's beauties free; Whilst he would have attendants sweet, The nightingale and me. lie came : he hraught the laurel wreath— But dim that altered eve ; And the voire that loved to breathe Of things that email not (lie. Oh ! Death entwined his wreath of Fame Which many a h ear t b ereaves; , For, thowth there's ,lore in its name, There's poison in its leaves. THE PRINCE OP TIIE STORM. BY TUB SAME?.

LITERARY NDI7.ICES. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. We have read, oil read with great interest, the last number of Blackwood's gdinbaret Magazine. Many Of the article's are of national importance, and are dis cussed with an ability that becomes that importance— profound views correctly drawn, and ju,.! Sentiments ener getically expressed, distinguish this number. The first paper itself is sutfijent tnitempt us Out beyond the li mits of a newspaper notice—" State of gducation in France." Whether that country, long the seat of civil war, and still exposed to its convulsions, will submit to have the minds of all its subjects disciplined according to a national system of education, is to us questionable. Perhapi the projector of the design took Sparta for his model. But this is not to apply the steady light of his tory to illuminate succeeding generations; but to educe from it an 4, , nis fatuus that will - lead to fatal issues. There is no parity between France 'and I.arr - cedalon. Perhaps some late, and not forgotten disorderi `in the colleges of Germany, have led France to take the impor tant engine of education under its control, in order that all its - moVements• may be subordinate to •state purposes. But we must refer t o the article itself fOr a Completnek position of the subjeet: The article entitled " The House of Peers" deserves a careful perusal by every one who wishes to form a cot rectjudgment upon that important subject, from a well digested summary of past and pasSing'eventsit is full Of Constitutional wisdom, and pregnant with 'great political truths—the progress of conservatism in England is for cibly exhibited, and the best directory afforded to render its advance still more rapid and successful. • " - The World we' live in"—the next article—reminds US 'of a poWerfril steam engine in action with only half its work upon it. The style is graceful and powerful, "without o'erflowinggfull ;"• and although the subjects canvassed are greatly important in theirissues, yet there is infused into the discussion of them so lively an 'inte rest, tint lie must be fastidious indeed who derives no pleasure from their perusal. "To catch the manners living as they rise" is always a pleasing ethployment, and when " the world we live in" is laid under contribution; and made to answer its exactions, as in this essay, read lure to have variety and novelty sun:lent to keep up excitement. On the paper entitled the "Metaphysician" we dare not enter with any minute particularity ;' the view taken of " conception" is nearly identical - with that of Watts; upon the subject of "jodguient" there is Some origina lity, but we do not exactly follow him to.his conclusion. upon this interesting section of metaphysics we have thought much and published something; and' should be glad (were we to consult our own inelidation) to go - into a critical examination of thiS 'part of this tell-written and clear-headed paper. The remaining articles of the magazine are all com panions moving in the same elegant circle of literature, and worthy of that portion of the society of which we have made a brief mention. VAUXHALL BALLOON. Extract of a letter from Mr. Ilolland to his friend, Mr. Prideaux, which was sent off immediately on the descent of the balldon. This letter bears the postmark of Coblentz, Novem ber 8, the day after the ascent iu London, and appears to have come through France:— " Weilburg, in Nassau, not many miles from Frankfurt, Wisbaden, and Coblentz. "EXTRACTS FROM MY AERIAL LOG-BOOK. " Ascended at half-past 1. "Crossed the Medway, seven miles south of Rochester, at 12 minutes to 3. " Two miles south of Canterbury at 4. "Raw the sea at 11. quarter after 4. " Left England, one mile east of Dover Castle, at 12 minutes before 5. "Over France 10 minutes to 6, one mile east of Calais. "Quarter-past 11, over the district of Namur. " Midnight by London time—extremely dark. "5 o'clock—symptoms of daybreak. "Ten minutes past 5, greatest altitude, barometer at twenty inches. "Descended at half-past 7at Wei!burg above-inentioned." (From Galelgnones Messenger.) The following are a few additional particulars of the late in teresting balloon voyage—unqUeitionably the most remarkable which has ever been perfortnedin addition to the brief notice of the safe descent of the aerial navigators already before our readers. It would appear that the descent was effected at a little village in the neighbourhood of Wei!burg, that being the capital town of the county of Nassau-Weiiburg, containing the Ducal residence, The travellers were received with much dis tinction by the Prince, and their hotel had been crowded with visitors from the moment of their arrival being known. The j descent of a in chine so novel in aspect and colossal in size, having, as may wed he supposed, created a most extraordinary sensation among all ranks of the inhabitants. The only com munication which has yet reached town front the aeronauts has been received by Mr. Gye, written by Mr. :Amick Mason ; .it briefly describes the voyage as " delightful." - Further and ample details are looked forward to with the greatest interest, not only by the merely curious, but by the xarant, who justly regards this bold experiment. together With the ample means afforded by the immense machinery employed, as the first great step that has ever been taken seriously to determine the long-disputed question of the'utility of the scierrce of terostation. Up to the hour of proceeding to press, unfortunately no further communication has been received. We believe it is the inten tion of Mr. Gye that an ascension shall take place from Paris; should he carry it into effect, the g,igantic machine will be im mediately transported from Geritianv. and the Champ de Mars will. in all probability, be the spot fixed upon for this curiinis spectacle. The great obstacle to the design promises to be the difficulty in prOcuring a sufficiency of gas fur inflating so im mense a body, the proprietors havtug been obliged to erect very extensive gas-works at Vauxhall, in London, for the purpose. Shonld the ascent take place, we may safely predict that all Paris, learned and unlearned, will witness the interesting ex periment; and no doubt it will be freighted with some of the most distinguished men of science in France, many of whom were warm patrons of the abortive attempt made last year by M. Lennox, in the hope of being enabled to ascend with his ill-constructed apparatus. We cannot conclude without quoting a description given of the last atmospheric voyage across the channel, and the arrival of the aeronauts in Paris:—"s3 years ago the channel was crossed in a h,110,10, with this difference in the undertaking, that Dover was chosen as the starting point. Mr. Blanchard constructed a balloon in London, had it conveyed .to Dover, and having joined in the undertaking a physielan, Dr. Jeffries, by the first fair wind he ascended, and in the course of an hour awl a half he alighted at G:iignes, in France. Flom thence the intrepid travellers took a post-chaise and four to .Paris, and arrived at the Grand Opera in the midstof all the beau .pto o de assembled at a favourite performance. At their entrance ,the, whole audience rose; the ladies waved their white handker •chiefs.lhe gentlemen applauded with enthusiasm, whilst cries pr Vice les braves Anglais' resounded through the theatre." The trip, thus so highly honoured almost provokes a smile as ludicrous when compared with theterostation of the present day, of which this last ascent is by many degrees the most important example. Mr. Monck Mason has been for several weeks previous to the departure of the balloon in‘correapondenee with the prop r i e t ors of the tzas - works in Paris, relative to their charge for supplying ww as. kneeatty nam e d suc h a pr i ce per cubic foot of gas as ould a required the sum of £B7O to fill the balloon, but others have agreed to supply it at a mu c h cheaper rate.

Before we examine the circular issued by the Consta bulary Commission, we wish to remark on the fact, that the government journals have taken the alarm at the comments we have felt it our duty to make on the cen. , tralization trickery. Mr. Stephen's pamphlet, which for nished opportunity for our general denouncement of the rapacious invasion meditated by the whig-radicals against the rural districts, has found little favour with the "fac tion. But this is that gentleman's own affair. We thank Jilin for furnishing a text for some very useful com• ments to those who, despising the patchwork party, are proportionately devoted to the public good—a cause, to the furtherance of which our humble efforts shall never be wanting. It has, of late, with an unblushing effron tery of Which none but the whig-radicals are capable, been asserted that the conservatives in both houses of parliament are equally answerable to the country for the poor law bill with the government who, in the official responsibility, introduced this monstrous measure ; but let our readers observe the inherent but most shallow cunning of these contemptible politicians. At first this paltry faction took mighty credit to itself for its liberali ty, philanthropy, and wisdom, in having devised a grand scheme for the perpetual benefit of the poor ! They now • find, that not only the poor, but that eve ry h u m ane an d • rational per so n y in the kingdom, contemplates their mighty measure with disgust and hatred; they now, therefore, wish to throw, part at least of the blame from • their own shoulders, and they impudently turn round Upon the conservatives with the pitiful expostillation, , " You did not prevent our replacing; an evil by a greater evil, which we staked our honour to be a decided good ; therefore the evil lies at your door as well as at our own." As we mentioned on Saturday last, welinpe this Will prove a salutary lesson - to the House of Lords, touching their future submission, under any circuni stances, to whig dictation, which we trust will not be lost upon them. The threatened attack on the counties of the "kingdom will furnish a fitting opportunity to their lordships for proving that they profited by that lesson. At all events, we will take good care to pliviate. all pos sibility of reproach against ourselves on the score of ac quiescence or apathy as regards the new, and we may call -it incalculable, inroad on the national liberties. In the morning organ of government . on Saturday last the writer, with a cockney sort of security contra dicts the statement of Mr. S , ephen, as to the probable operation of the new poor law act, in tending to the in crease of crime in the rural districts. It will be observed that this confident speculater is speaking of a subject of which he knows little or rrviiing, while the learned gen ileman whom he so unceremoniously takes to task has written from actual observation in the county in which he resides, (Buckinghamshire, we bel:eve.) and in other counties which he has had occasion to visit, profession allY or otherwise. The goVernment scribe shortly after wards checks himself, finding that in the fervour of his zeal lie proves (if anything) by far too much. For if by the new poor law act crime 11 - as - been represSed, there is all the less necessity for a new constabulary act for that purpose. This the ministerialist has just Mother-wit , enough to see, and he wriggles out of the difficulty as follows :—" Though," he says, " there has been thisdi minution, though crime has somezehat diminished (a lit- tie before he hird told us that the direct Teel of the poor .laws is to diminiskscriine,) that fact does not absolve the government from the duty of extirpating it by the . most effectual means:' Certainly not. But, as we said on a late occasion, the real question is; " whether the sub mission of a gigantic tyranny, such as that proposed, would not be a glea - ter evil than "any Which 'it pretends to remedy ? We think it would, and therefore pose it to the uttermost. The circular addressed by the constabulary commis sion to the magistracy of England and Wales consists of 48 questions= -most of them of a very prying and 'corn mon-place character. Questions 1 and 2 are expressive enough as to the jobbing spirit of tile whole affair. The querists are anxious to know what is to be made by the transaction, as topatronage. So impatient are the com rnissioners as to thiS'pOi n t, th a t th ey pl unge in- medias res. ," What is the extent your division ?" And " what number of acting magistrates reside generally within your•division ?" The plain myaning of this is— Whit stipendiary patronage can we give to our adhe• rents in your division ? The following query is one 'of many which we think must puzzle the understandings Of plain men :- 4 410. Is there reason to believe that the depredations commit ted within your division have been committed by persons who do not reside in it; - if so, what place or direction are they sup posed'to come from ?" Questions 11 and 15 require information on the sub ject of " lodging-houses" (by courtesy) and beer 7 shops, as to their moral tendency, &c , on which we thought there could not at this timeof day be any doubt in the mind Of any reasonable being. For this reason :we think the swelling out the list With such foolish 'qtleitiOns is only to be accounted for by a wish to produce an impos ing array—in other words, to humbug the public on the approved whio.-radical principle. The 46th qUestion, which we are about to quote, is art unrivalled illustration of this principle : "46. What proportion of the expenses now incurred by the public in the apprehension and prosecution of offenders do you conceive might be saved by the establishment of a inure 611i:tete preventive force ?" "Honest John Bull," when reading this, will rub his eyes, or his palms, and exclaim, So, at all events, we are to have a saving." Yes, but it will be a whig sav ing; and we have all, b✓ this time, abundant room to know, that " retrenchment" in the ministerial vocabu lary, like " non-intervention," means the direct opposite to its ordinary Signification. The two last inquiries are too characteristic to be omitted . i— "47. Do any, and what additional means appear to you to be desirable in your division for insuring the actual security, and the sense of security, to person and property. Thus we see, that, whatever " proportion of the ex penses - now incurred by the public might be saved, it is in contemplation to adopt additional means—and, of course, additional charges is to accompany these—" for 1 the security, and the sense of security, to person and pro. party." We don't clearly catch the purport here. If security to person and property be establiShed, the sense of security will follow, we presume. But, supposing that it did not, the magistrates wilt be conjurors indeed if they can contrive means to give a sense of security to those who are already safe, yet in fear. Mr. O'Connell must have suggested thiS adaptation of the old phrase, " It's dangerous to be safe." "48. H ave you any other information to give, or suggestions to offer, in furtherance of the objects of this commission ?" Were we' in the confidence of the government, or of the constabulary commissioners, we should advise the omission of the word " other" in this question, and it might very well stand for the whole of the preceding 32. But to return to our original objection. This Mischiev ous mockery of the Bonapartist inquisition into every hole and corne r of the kingdom has clearly not for its ob ject the detectio❑ or suppression of crime, but the exten sion of tyrannical influence and factious power. We, many weeks ago, intimated our conviction that the whigs Would avenge themselves of the country gentlemen and county constituencies in some way. And here we have the scheme in all its enormity, unfolding itseif through the specious form of authorized inquiry. The subject is, in our judgment, so vitally linoortant to the independ ence of this country, that We shall omit no oppiirtunitv of ke:Ting it at every stage befor e the public mind. ft is a measure broadly marked by the ruffian Land of the arch enemy of England.—Times. THE LIVERPOO`, STANDARD. NORGAN JONES AND THE D--L, AIISCELLANEOUS. PARLIAMENTARY REPORTING. About thirty-five years ago the debate, which was about En glish labourers, being. one evening unusually dull, Jack Finnerty, who had but a short time before been imported from Tipperary, said to the only reporter-in the gallery at the time, that he felt very drowsy, and that he would .be after taking a little bit of a nap, if lie would tell him, when he awoke, any thing which might take place. The other agreed, and Jaek, in a moment, Was. fast locked in th e ' arms of Morpheus . A n h our e l apsed, and after half-a-doin yawns Jock opened his eyes. "Has any thing happened.?." was his'first question to his friend. "To be sure there has," said the other, whose name was Morgan O'Sullivan—" Mr. Wilberforce has said, that it always appeared to him beyond all question, that the great cause why the Irish labourers were, as a body, so much stronger, and cc ' pable of enduring so much greater physical fatigue, than the English, was the surpassing virtue of the potatoe.. And he"— " Morgah, my dear fellow," shouted Jack, and at the mention of the Irish potatoe, his countenance lighted up with ecstacy'as he spoke, " Morgan, my dear fellow, this is so important that we must give it in the first person." "And I have no doubt," continued Mr. Wilberforce, if it had been my lot to have been born and reared in"— " Did the metnber say reared?" interrupted Jack exultingly, evidently associating the word with the growth of potatoes in his own. 'blessed country.' "Ile said reared," observed the other who then resumed— " had it been my lot to be born and reared in Ireland, where my food would have principally consisted of the potatoe,—that most nutritious and ,salubrious root, instead of being the poor, infirm, shrivelled creature-you, Sir, and honourab:e gentlemen now behold me—l would have been a tall, stout, atheletic man, and able to carry an enormous weight." Here Jack Finuarty observed, looking his friend eagerly in. the face-," Faith, Morgan, and that's what I call true elo quence ! Go on." • "I hold that root to be invaluable, and the man who first cultivated it in Ireland I regard as a benefactor of the first magnitude to his species. And -my decided opinion is, that [wrier until we grow potatoes in England in sufficient quantities to feed all our labourers will those classes be so able-bodied a class as the Irish. (Hear, hear !.ftern both sides of the house.") Well, by St. Patrick, but that bates everything,' observed Jack, on finishing his notes. • That's rale philosophy. And the other mimbers cried "hear, bear !" did they ?' • The other members cried " Hear, hear !" answered Morgan. In a quarter of an hour afterwards the house rose.—Morgan went away direct to the office of the paper for which he was em ployed; while Jack, in perfect ecstasies at the eulogium pro nounced on the virtue of ould Ireland,' ran in breathless haste to a public-house, where the reporters who should have - been on duty for the other morning papers were assembled. He read over his notes to them, which they copied verbatim, and not be ing at the time in the best possible condition for judging of the probability of Mr. Wilberforce delivering such a speech, they repaired to their respective offices, and actually gave a copy of it to the printer. Next morning it appeared in all the papers except the one with which Morgan O'Sullivan was connected; The sensation and surprise it - created in town exceeded every thing. In the evening the house met as usual, and Mr. Wil berforce, on the Speaker taking the chair, rose and begged the indulgence of the house for one moment to a matter which con cerned it, as well as himself personally. 'Every honourable member,' he observed, has doubtless read the speech which I am represented to have made on the previous night. 'With the permission of the house I will read it.' (Here the honourable member read the speech amid the most deafening roars of laughter.) I can assure honourable members that no one could have read this speech with more surprise than I myself did this morning when I found the paper on the breakfast table. For myself, personally, I care but little about it, though if I were capable of uttering such nonsense as is here put into my mouth, it is high time that, instead of being a member of this house, 1 were an inmate of a lunatic asylum. It is for the dig nity of this house that I feel concerned; for if honourable mem bers were capable of listening to such nonsense, supposing me capable of giving expression to it, it were much more appro priate to call this a theatre for the performance of farces, than a place for the legislative deliberations of the representatives of the nation.' It was proposed by some members to call the printers of the different papers in which the speech appeared to the bar of the h6uSe, for a - breach of privilege ; but the matter was eventually allowed to drop.— The Great Metropolis. MARINE. INSURANCES. The report from the Commons on "Shipwrecks" contains an immense deal of evidence on the subject of Marine lii , urances. The following are some of the features of the statements of va rious witnesses:— The evidence describes the system generally—the evils of the present. system By causing vessels to be lightly constructed —2. By causing the appointment of incompetent persons as masters, &c.—and 3. The frequent cause of Shipwreck. and on the over-insurance of vessels, and opinions thereon. The par. titulars of the evidence set forth that the rate of insurance de pends on the letter the vessel is in on " Lloyd's List;" that shipping are very frequently insured without any inquiry as to the value of the ship • ships are ins u r e d at Ll oy d' s w i t h out a competent knowled ge o f the character of the vessels; rate of in surance might be lessened-one-half if spirits were prohibited ou board vessels. Change of building ships more slightly than formerly caused by the abuse of marine insurances. The system of over-insurance causes incompetent persons to be appointed ax masters and mates of Merchant vessels. In stances are given of the Committee at South Shields refusing to insure a vessel commanded by an incompetent master. Number of persons who insure are very careless as to the per sons they put in charge of their vessels. The system of insurance has a tendency to cause vessels to be sent to sea for the purpose of being lost. The injurious operation of marine insurances is the principal cause of ship. wrecks. The evidence further declares that a very large, pro portion of the mercantile navy, that would he scarcely saleable in the market, are sent to sea insured fur iliumy hundred pounds. Frequent instances are adduced of vessels being insured very much above their value. No merchant or shipowner, it is said, , ought to insure nts property to a greater amount than t thirds of its value. No vessel should be allowed to insure fur inure than her actual value. Owners of vessels in a depreciated state would, says a witness, have great difficulty in getting them insured even by the common .underwiiter in Newcastle, and that there are few instances of vessels being insured above their value; if discovei ed, the over-insurance is deducted, and it i s not to the interest of the shipowners in the Tyne to over insure their vessels, and no donbt that a number of vessels get insured that are nut seas or thy.

At Parts, too, the Seine had over flowed its banks, but by the last accounts the waters were rece ding in both s'reains. Late on Monday night the servants of a house in Chelten ham informed the lieu. J. Williams, of Aberpergwm, who was lodging there, that two men were secreted in the out house. Mr. Williams went out unarmed, and Seized one of the fellows, When the other fell upon him and struck him to the ground ; both of the ruffians then brtitally ilf-used the rev. gentleman, and the servants of the house, through fear, did not collie to his assistance; 'both escaPed. '• ' - RECEIPT FOR SPEAKING ENGLISII.—A servant girl in Edin burgh, 'who spoke Scotch so broadly as at tiines hardly to be comprehended even by her mistress, though a native of Burns's Ayrshire, on being asked how she contrived to - make herself understood when in service m England, where'she had previ ously been, replied,—"Ou, its quite easy; ye've naething to do but leave out a' the R's, and gee the words &bit chaW in the middle!" —Laird of Logan. A FEMALE HIGHWAY ROBBER.—lnformation has been re ceived at the different police-offices and stations, that a woman named Ann Smith, alias Crusty Poll, was apprehended on the sth instant, by the constable of 13ithrop, near Banbury, on a charge of highway robbery. There was a second charge against here and two men ( not in custody), of having, some time ago, robbed a person of his money and apparel, and left him quite naked in the field.—London paper.

FoRM OF MARRIAGE O%TH ORDERED BY BAREBONE'S PAR LIAMENT, 1653.—" I, A. B. do here, in the ,presence of God, take thee, C. D., for my wedded wife; and du also, in the pre sence of God, and before these witnesses, promise to be unto thee a loving and faithful husband."—Thus we see that Crolia well's" parliament did require an acknowledgment of the Deity : and a further dignity was imparted to the proceeding by the presence of a Justice of the Peace being necessary for us valid ity. But still .we read, in " Paker's Chroniele, "• The new way of marrying s o f r i g h tene d the people, that to enjoy the be nefits of the old way, before the time of the act, multitudes ran headlong into the noose; it was seen by the number of bridal garters in hats in every part of the town."—lt remains to be proved whether the religious f ee li ng o f th e country h as P - dege neratedov since the time of the rebellion. PRINCELY BEQUESTS.—Mr. Thomas Naters, a native of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who died at Goldenburg, in Switzerland, on the-24th ult., has bequeathed to Mr. Mather, a builder at Newcastle, the immense sum of £200,000. About 20 years since, a rich citizen at Newcastle bequeathed all his property to his only child, a natural sun, who was at that time in India practising as a physiCian. Dr. Adams, then in ill health, de spaired of ever reaching England, mad e hi s w ill i u C a l cutta, bequeathing th e great bulk of his wealth to . a cousin on his mother's sidethis identical Mr. Nater—at whose demise Mr Mather came into possession of the enormous Sutra above named. Mr. Naters has also left two handSoine legaciei of £20,000 each to Mr. Thorp, of Alnwick, Clerk or the Peace, and George Thomas Dunn, Esq., Alderman, of Newcastle, both of whom formerly promoted the interests of the late Dr. Adams and himself. Ou of the New York papers says : " Curses not loud, but deep," are uttered against the road managers every day, by tourists and travellers in every part of the union, and no won der, for the system of some parts now is for every passenger per stage coach, to walk on foot by the side of the vehicle, so as to be in rediness to assist in relieving it frOm any accident which happens to it on - account of the deep holes and ruts which it has to encounter continually. This was borne' good-humouredly enough for some time; there appearing to be no alternative; until at length the stage-coach agents, emboldened by success, insisted that the passengers should not only walk on foot, as occasion or the driver might require, but that each passenger should carry a rail to ply the coach out of the mud whenever it stuck therein.

He traced them to Chester, and on Friday evening p.piilied for the assistance of Mr. Hill, superintendent of police, who found them residing in a house in Foregate-street, and took the young man into custody. The magistrates, finding that they had no jurisdiction over him on the charge of abduction, remanded him for further examination on a charge of stealing two towels, the property of the captain, which were found in his trunk. On being sent back to prison, the young lady was very urgent in her entreaties to be allowed to accompany him, and refused to take any consolation unle. , .s her friends would consent to their union, and her father was at last induced partially to give his consent, when the prisoner absolutely refused, and said he never had intended to marry her. Her,friends, therefore, took her home to Newry, and Mitchell will be taken, as soon as a war rant can be procured from a magistrase at Newry, and indicted fur the misdemeanour. STRANGE AFFAIR.—An application was made to one of the police-otliceis at the west end of the town, a short time since, under the following extraordinary circumstances;—'The' wife of a tradesman, cat ry lug on an extensive business at the west end of the town, had, it appeared, while tat watering place, impru dently suffered the attentions of a young tuna of fashionable exterior to he paid to her fur some time; but she, at length, broke off-the connection. and returned to town. .She had not been long returned before she received a visit from the indi vidual whom she had seen at the watering place, and, upon het requesting him to leave the house, he told her in plain terms that he should not leave it until some money was given to hint. The lady, horror struck at the occurrence, and fearing lest the affair should conic to her husband's kinowledge, consented to give bins £lO, and he then retired. She had, however, but a short respite. In a few days the individual again-threw himself in her way, and insisted upon having 1:20. This sum she also gave him.. Front this time the demands of the individual be came so exorbitant (he, on one occasion, demanded no less •a sum than 1.300) that Use lady, finding it impossible any longer to comply - with them, resolved to communicate the whole affair to her husband, and, in consequence, arrangements were made for the apprehension of the individual in question, and he was secured upon his next appearance. Finding his proceedings had been made known, he was induced to declare that he would desist front further persecution of the lady in question, and as thea [ p e a r ' was ties w th e u r s e Un w ill i ng su to come forward as prosecut o rs, th e re to drop.—Loadon paper. POINT OF HONOUR WITH A BEAR.—While on thi s th eme, I will add another anecdot e o f an a d venture w i t h a gr i zzly bear, teletof John Day, the K entuc k y h unter, b ut which ha pi.enedat t Cdifferent period of th e expe di t i on. D ay was hunting in corn n pany with one of the clerks of the company, a lively youngster, who was a great favourite with the veteran, whose vivacity he had continually to keep in check". They were in search of deer, when suddenly a huge grizly bear emerged from a thicket, abont thirty yards distant, 'rearing himself upon his hind legs with a terrific growl, and displaying a hideous array of teeth and claws. The rule of the young man was levelled in an instant'; but John Day's iron hand was quickly upon .his arm "Be quiet, boy, be quiet!" ex c l a i m ed t h e hunter, between his 'clenched teeth, and without turning his eyes from the bear. They remained motionless. The monster regarded them for a time, then, lowering himself on his forepaws, slowly withdrew. He had not gone many paces before he again turned, reared himself on his:hind legs, and repeated his menace. Day's hand Was still on the arm of his young companion ; he attain pressed it hard, and kept repeating betwe en hi s te e t h , "Quiet boy ! keep quiet! keep quiet. " though the latter had not made a move since his first prohibition, • lhe bear again lowered him self on all fours, retreated smite twenty yards farther, and again turned, reared, showed his - teeth, and g,rowled. This third menace was- too much for the game snifit of John Day. "By J ove !" exclaimed he, `• I-can stand this no longer • I 7 and in an instant a ball from his rifle wh izzed into the ' foe.: The wound was not mortal; but, luckily, it dismayed' instead of enraging the animal, and he retreated into the thicket. Day's Young companion reproached him fur not practising the caution which he enjoined upon, others. " Why, boy," -replied the veteran, veteran, "caution is caution ; one - must not put up with too much, even trout a hear. • :Would you have me suffer thyself to be bulliedm all day by a varint .

TREATMENT OF CONVICTS. • ( From a Van Diemen's Land Paper. ) This abode of horrors is a peninsula of several miles arena, the isthmus closed against escape, not only by solditos, but by the most ferocious dogs, chained at such intervals assit s 4,- t h at passage between them is impossible, Ilse miserable wretch upon his arrival is put immediately, without reference to his habit s of life, or his condition, to labour of the severest kind —cutting down logs, r o lli ng th em t o the . water, and f requent l y through the water. He has no change" of habit, therefore he cannot get rid of his wet clothing, but by the absorption of bodily heat. His food is of the coarsest description. Salted meat frequently the refuse of th e s t ore . Th e Quant ity only sufficient to s us t a i n the vital spark—tosupport it in health it mulit he unequal. The weeks ration often is consumed in three days, if it is, IA is fre quently the case, issued altogether. During the remainder, starvation must be endured. The-smallest particle of food, be yond the ration of the coarsest bread and salted meat, is expressly forbidden. Should he have friends disposed to send him ever so small a portion of that simple dilutant, tea—he is not'permit ted to receive it. Sugar is equally proscribed. And as to vege tables, to even think of them, if discovered, would he a crime. Abundant as is every discription of fish upon the very shores of this Gomorrah (for, while upwards of one thousand :men are there engaged, woman is not permitted to approach the unholy place,) the poor wretch to whom a taste of fresh food would he health, renovating beyond expr ess i on , i s f or bidd en, on lee pa i n of the bl oo d y lash , to touch one, even if it has cast ashore at his feet. Indeed, ‘• a gang" of twelve recently employed in removing keip irons the shore to the land, fur souse government purpose. finding a crab-fish amongst the kelp, and eagerly de vouring it, were all punished, and with their overseer put into irons. It having been habitual with many of the miserable men sent to this terrible place to use tobacco, the deprivation of it is particularly attended to. If a morsel is found upon any one, the lash is the certain consequence. Even fora broken pipe, if it can be traced, flogging is the assured fate ! The consequence of this system of limited food of such a quality, accompanied with the severest labour which the lash can extract, is emacia tion to a dreadful extent. In, one of the gangs (the sawvers) this result of suffering is particularly conspicuous. They have Ascertain quantity of labour to perform. If it is not done, flogging, and solitary confinement in a cell, on bread water, is the punish ment, thus still more emaciating the emaciated wretch until life his hardly within him. It is useless harrowing, the heart of the reader further. It is only necessary to add, that it is a constant expression of one ofthe inferior, but power - possessing ministers of this hell without hope—` You convict ! have ton tio , 4!i:Pd V and this threat, when uttered, is half perforated, fur the flesh cutting process assuredly follows. Some twenty years ago, when in retired parts of the country the commouication between • one plaCe and another was much slower ant less frequent that it is now, there was a great deal of horse-stealing carried on in the English counties on the borders of Wales. 'roosts' comities Were and are very full of prefty little towns and villages, - in one or other of which there were fairs for the sale of ti've stock - almost every day in the year, and 'it. was easy to steal a horse front one pariSh, and carry away and sell it at some one of th"se fairs, almost before the. rightful owner knew he had lost it: Well, it so happened that shout that time lived a lazy, careless, rollicking sort of fellow, by naiise Morgan Jones, wile contrived to make a living somehow or other, but how it was nobody well knew, thourit most 'people suspected that it was not the Most honest liveliheed a person might gain. In fact, everyone was'sure that Morgan was deeply implicated in horse-stealing, and man V a time bad he been brought before the justice on suspicion, but do What they could, nobody could find sufficient evidence to convict him. People wondered and talked a-bout it for a long time, until at last they came to the only natural conclusion —namely, that Morgan Jones must have-dealings with th e evil one. Now, it once - chanced that Morgan and some of his chosen cronies were snaking themselves jolly over sundry pets of ale and pipes of tobacco, at a round white deal table, in the clean • parlour of a very neat 'little ale-house, as all Yillage aleAouses are in that part of the 'country. And they'began to get - very happy anti comfortable together, and were telling one another their adventures, till at last one spoke plainly out and told Morgan. Jones that it was commonly reported he had to do with the devil. " 'Why, yes," answered Morgan, "there's some truth in that same, sure enough: . I used to meet him now and then, but we fell out, and I have not seen' him these two months." "Av !" exclaimed each of - the party, " how's that Morgan." " Why, then, be quiet, - and I'll tell you it all. And there upon Morgan emptied his pot, and had it filled again, and took a puff of his pipe, and began his story. "'Nell then," says he, " von must know that I had not seen his hOnour for a long time, and it was about two months ago from this that I went one evening along the brook shooting wild fowl, and as I was going whistling a l on g, w h o Wiould I spy Coming up but the devil - himself.? But y o u mus t k now h e was dressed mighty fine, like a grand gentleman, Ihnugh I knew the old one well by the bit 'of his tail which hung out at the bottom of his trousers. Well, he came up, and says he, 'Mir gan, 'how are You ?' and, says I, touching my hat, -‘ pretty well, your honour, I thank you.' And then says he, Morgan, what are you looking a'ter, and What's that long thing ye'rei carry_ in;; with you ?' • And says I, I'm only walkin ,, out by the brook this fine evening, and carrying iny'bicky-pipe with me to smoke.' • 'Well, all'of you know the' devil was ii.ighty fond of the - backy; sb says he, * Morgan, let's have a smoke, and I'll thank thee'?' 'And says I, ' vou'r mighty Welcome.' So I gave him the gun, and he put the muzzle . in his mouth to smoke. and thinks I, ' I you now, old boy,' cause you see I wanted to quarrel with him : so I polled the trigger, and off went the gun bang in his mouth. ' Puff !' says he, when he pulled it out of his mouth, and he stopped a minute to think about it, and says he. d—d strong baeky till% Morgan !' Then lie give me the rm; and looked huffed, and walked - Off, and sure enough I've' never ' se e n hi m s in ce. And that's the way I got shut of the old - gentleman, my boys!" Such is the ludicrouS story of Morgan Jones, who had to do with a proper Welsh devil - without doubt.-Foreign Quarterly Ree ice'. • • :47bipptug intelitgruct. TUESDAY, Nov. 15.—Noon, Wind West.—Rain.
