December, 1838. This number commences with an excellent review of Dr. Crolly's sermon "On the Religious Destinies of Great Britain"—a sermon which ought to he pe rused by every sincere Protestant. It abounds with matter for deep and serious reflection. The verses on "The Ring•dove" are very pleasing. The review of " The Life of Wilberforce" does ample justice to that delightful and instructive memoir. "The Vision of Negrohead and Havannah" is a powerful tale from the eloquent pen of Coul Coppagh. Some of the descrip tive portions of this tale are truly sublime. We must, however, object to the too frequent introduction of scriptural passages into tales of this nature. Such an irreverent use of Holy Writ is highly offensive. The review of Newel's " History of the Revolution in Texas" contains some very strong but just remarks upon the interference of the United States with that province. The conclusion of the truly German tale of " The Thirty Flasks" is well worth reading on ac count of the powerful language and beautiful imagery which it contains. In the " By-Ways of Irish His tory" we have some additional illustrations of Popery and her instructors. The poetry in "Hours of Soli tude" is far above mediocrity. In the review of " Oliver Twist" we are favoured with very copious extracts from that incomparable work. Altogether, we must pronounce this number of the Dublin Uni versity Magazine to be one of the best that we have seen. We hope to find this excellent and truly con servative periodical more extensively patronised in England than it has been heretofore. Parbury's Oriental Herald. December, 1838. This spirited periodical continues to furnish us with the latest intelligence from all parts of the East—in telligence which, at the present moment, is only se condary in importance to that Which we derive from our Canadian possessions. Among the literary arti cles in the present number there are some very perti nent remarks on " The Former Misrule of India," and a very interesting paper on " Steam Communica tion with India." Tire note on the " Cultivation of Tea in Assam" we have already transferred to our co lumns. Under the title of "The East India Voyager" Miss Roberts furnishes us this month with some ex cellent advice to outward bound cadets, from which many valuable hints may be collected. Under the head of " Natural Products of India" we have some remarks on the Suleah fish of Bengal, and the ising glass it affords. The account of the Afghaun chiefs and Runjeet Singh's army will be read with great in terest. "Russia in reference to the East" forms the subject of a very powerful essay. The miscellaneous paragraphs of news from Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, Ceylon, China, New South Wales, Mauritius, &c. &c. are as copious as usual. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. No. 20. Edinburgh : Blackwood and Sons. The present number of this truly national work fully sustains the character of its predecessors. It contains an ample description of the topography, na tural history, antiquities, industry, parochial economy, &c., of part of Fife and Roxburgh, and is accompa nied with a beautifully engraved map of Stirlingshire. The parishes embraced by this part are those of St. Andrews, St. Leonards, Forgan, Ceres, Kilmany, Kults, Balmerino, Flisk, and Anstruther Wester, in the county of Fife ; and those of Aslikirk, Bedrule, Kelso, Minto, and Kirktoun, in the county of Rox burgh. No Scotsman, who can possibly afford it, should be without this admirable statistical account of his native country. The French Student. By Professor G. J. Bertin champ, A.B. London: Sinapkin, Marshall, and Co. This admirable compendium will afford the diligent student a very considerable insight into the niceties of the French language. We like the method adopted by the author in conveying instruction. He first pre sents an example, and then deduces the rule from that example, showing its application in the exercise. The work has been compiled with great care. as Robert Burns sings—and as Charles Patieson felt. How lonely he seemed that long, long evening; reflecting, in every possible way, over the words and inuendoes of Mr. Pearie. The Dene had never appeared to him so dull; even the bright moonlight trembling into his drawing-room, through the glass of his conservatory, failed to sooth him; and, in a fit of desperation, he rushed out into the open air. He wandered down the banks of his beautiful villa to the river, which was brawling along beneath its overhanging rocks, sometimes hidden in darkness, sometimes, for a long expanse of its bright pure water, glimmering peacefully in the moonlight. Charles stood still beneath one of the great cliffs, for he thought, on the opposite side of the water, where the light was unobscured by trees, he heard the sound of dis tant voices; shortly afterwards he observed two figures emerge from the darkness, whom he easily recognised to be Mr. Pearie, and Mr. Dawson, the head clerk. They seemed to look around them very cautiously : and then they suddenly returned to the dark corner they had emerged from, and car ried between them an object, which at first the breathless spectator found it difficult to recognise. Lifeless and limber, without sign of voluntary motion or resistance, it was dragged along the ground by Mr. Pearie and his assistant. With a thrill of unimaginable horror Charles recognised, in the long blue surtout —the top boots and breeches—and, above all, in the long, pale face, with the prodigious whiskers and moustaches, the lifeless form of the unhappy Capt. Slasher! Horror kept him silent—in voiceless, motionless, terror and surprise, he watched the dreadful proceedings of the pair. They dragged the body to the river, and apparently fixing heavy stones to ensure its sinking, they dropt it slowly into the water—and rapidly retired. * * * * Pale and agitated with a nig ht of sleepless distress, Charles Patieson presented himself next morning at the house of Mr. Pearie. He had come to the resolution to warn the unhappy man to flee for his life, for he could not bring himself to give his friend, and his father's friend, into the hands of the ex ecutioner. At the same time enucealment of the awful secret was out of the question—and not a moment was to be lost. 7. There are three legal injuries to a man; to murder him, and to have illicit intercourse with his wife, and to violate the protection he may have given. 8. There are three removals which have no return; first, a woman by marriage, for she quits the privilege other family, and obtains that of her husband according to the authority and will of the law. She can no more assume the privilege of her family, neither will the law knowingly revuke what it has once determined. 9. There are three primary indispensables of a voter; . that he be a free-born Briton without defect in pedigree and with out meanness in dignity; that he be an efficient man, and that he be the head of a family, having a wife and children by marriage. Without these a man will not be recognised in law as the head of a family; and with these he will not de cide against privilege and justice, he will vote conscien tiously on their account. 10. There are three kinds of vassals who do not obtain the dignity and privilege of the free-born Briton, until the ninth in descent. The first is an illegitimate child that is legally denied by his father; - or in another manner according to law, because he was not born in honourable and organised wedlock, or in another manner still, because he was begotten in opposi tion to the law and the privilege if the country and the tribe. 11. " There are three reasons for vassalage, as it respects disorderly persons, who are neither recognised by the law nor by the citizens. First, to prevent treachery by strangers and their confederates. Second, to prevent foreigners from obtaining the land of free-born Britons. And third, to pre vent celibacy by getting children promiscuously and illegally, through direct commerce with abandoned women." Such was the sacred light in which our British ancestors viewed the marriage-tie under Druidical sway. After their transition into Christianity, they still retained the same scriptural views, sanctified by the holier influence of the gospel. They extended the privilege to the clergy as well as the laity, in accordance with divine declaration, "Mar riage is honourable in all." A remarkable proof of this may be had in the "Genealogy of the British Saints," a very an cient and valuable document. As the saints recorded there in were for the most part in holy orders, their hereditary canonisation evidently implies marriage. We find also from a decree passed in a Synod, held by - St. Patrick, Auxilius, and Iserninus, that the Irish Church allowed the clergy to marry. In this council, held A.D. 432, it was resolved that "priests' wives should be veiled." St. Bernard says, that one family enjoyed the Archbishoprick of Armagh for fifteen generations. In the year 961, an attempt was made by the Pope to impose on the Welsh clergy a life of celibacy, which, however, was strenuously and effectually resisted. It seems that a similar trial was made in the reign of Henry 11, for we learn that a Welsh priest of the name of Madog Hen Gwvllt wrote some Latin verses against the Pope on the oc casion, in which he implies that he " sinned criminally in wishing to put asunder what God had joined together," that he was a "thief," a "hypocrite," had " decreed wickedly," and had "taught contrary to the Scriptures." He tells him further, that all such clergy as coincided with his opinion, were " transgressors of the law," acting contrary to the ex ample of "Zacharias" and the precepts of " St. Paul," and that whoever maintained "this new error was "deserving of perdition." A bold defiance! Injunctions to the same effect seem to have been equally disregarded by the majority of the English clergy, who urged in their own vindication, that Moses. and others among the most eminent of God's servants, were married men. The ring formed a part of the matrimonial right. 'raliesin, in the sixth ceutury, speaks of a " Ringed Virgin." If the etymology of Modrwy (a ring) be ainmod aerwy (the yoke of contract.) the above expression,would imply that llie ring was given to the betrothed souse time before the actual celebra tion of the marriage. This would be in accordance with the Catholic custom of those days. If, however, the word be composed of Bawd (a thumb) and aerwy (a yoke) it would only mean Ofat the ring was originally worn on the thumb. Or perhaps there is in it a reference to a practice which we know prevailed in some of the English Churches prior to the Reformation ; this was, the man, at the time of marriage, placed a ring on the woman's thumb, sayiug, in the name of the Father; then on the second finger, saying, and the Son : then on the third finger, saying, and the Holy Ghost; then On the fourth finger, saying, Amen.—The Churchman. THE PARISIAN GlANT.—There are many great men in this world, among whOm M. Thiers, the radical deputy at Paris, and Mr. Spring Rice, the superficial inch chancellor of the exchequer at London, are, in their own opinion, the greatest. The giant of the Olympic Circus,. on the Boule vards, however, must be deemed as good as both, as unques• tionably, if Thiess was put on the head of Spring Rice, or Spring Rice stood on the shoulders of Thiers, the French giant would out top them. He is a wonderful man, and nightly draws crowds to see him at Franconi's. He is the Goliah of a piece which has been got up to display his amaz ing proportions. It is quite wonderful to see him striding across the stage, and demolishing whole armies by the sweep of his tremendous arm. He is more than eight feet in height, well made, without the least apparent defect of person. His countenance is handsome, well garnished with mustachios and lukurious whiskers. His manner is dignified, and his attitudes are formed on classic models. Ile is a Belgian by birth, which is, to be sure, rather against him; but, barriug that accident, he is a tine specimen of humanity, and is as tall and more civilised than any production of the same size that has vet ventured to these shores. He travels in his own carriage, as no diligence is elevated enough to do justice to his limbs; but he is fond of walking, and often astonishes the passengers by descending from his vehicle and striding along the roads as if a windmill had slipped off a neighbouring elevation, or as if the steeple of one village was going to pay a visit to the spire of the next town. The giant is in his 25th year, and if he has not yet done growing,• we may expect to find him in the course of next summer adding another foot to his present height. He says that he is content, and hopes that Dame Nature will leave him at ease in his present high position. HINTS To DINERS-ot:T.---(From the first number of a new periodical called "the Heads of the People," by Henry Brownrigg, Esq., alias Mr. Douglas Jerrold.)—The diner out must be a man of very moderate humour—of the most temperate and considerate wit. It must be his first study to obtain and keep the character of a good-natured fellow, a most agreeable companion, at the same time rendering it impossible for those who praise him to tell the why or the wherefore. We know that certain wags have blazed and cor ruseated for a season or two at a few tables where are to be found the first delicacies of the season, whether of bird or beast, vegetable or man ; the that pine-apple or the last author; but these wits are but for a few invitations; the regular pro fessional diner-out, and it is of him we speak, is for all cloths. It must therefore be his study to display a certain good-na tured dullness, an amiability that shall 'take him repress the brightest jest that ever fell from human lips, if by any possi bility the unuttered joke could be thought to tell against one of the party ; that one, it may be, happening to possess the noblest kitchen—the most glorious cellar; and therefore to be conciliated hy a meek politeness, an attentive urbanity, that shall ensure the diner-out a future summons to his table; for it mist be remembered that the diner-out, whilst apparently enjoying the delights of the repast, and its after-ease and hilarity, is, indeed, labouring to extend his connecti on . He is not asked to grace a board on .the strength of a new picture —a wonderful poem—a galvanic, man-eating, rnan-slayi.ng, novel, or the discovery of a new self-supplying 'sugar -tongs, or for the great merit of having lived with the Esquimatix on walrus flesh and train oil; our diner-out feasts not upon any such adventitious, any such accidental principle, but upon higher deserts; yea, he obtains his turtle and Burgundy from worthier, from more lasting causes; for, in a very flutter of "delight," he helps any and every lady and gentleman to. the wing of a chicken, and, with a stereotype smile upon his face, is at a moment's notice prepared to be "but too happy" to " take wine" with all the world, SENSATIONS OF A BALLOON ASCENT.—Vauxhall-gardens, with all the people in them, went down !

TIDE TABLE. i illrn. 1 Ern. ENCOUNTER WITH A WILD BUFFALO. It having been represented to Mr. Campbell, indigo plan ter, at Jellasore, by theßyotts living near one of his factories, that a wild bull buffalo had for some days infested the neigh bourhood, and had destroyed three of the villagers, a party consisting of Mr. Campbell, Major C., of the Bengal engi neers, and a Lieut. G., of the same service, agreed to proceed to the spot and proclaim open hostility against the reigning monarch of the plain, Mr. C. being equipped with a rifle, and the major and lieutenant with a double Joe Manton each. They undertook to oppose him on horseback, having given orders to the Mahout to bring up the rear on the elephant. It may be necessary in this place to state that when a wild buffalo is separated from the herd he becomes exceedingly ferocious, and will attack almost any animal thatcomes within his view, and the brute in question having been solitary for some days he had grown desperate. On entering the field where he was, Major C., who was an experienced chekarrie (sportsman), advanced in the centre, whilst his two ft iends struck off to the right and left of him, keeping somewhat in the rear. No sooner did the beast perceive the enemy advan cing then he came down with furious impetuosity on the major, within two hundred yards of him, when he made a dead stop, gazing wildly at him, with his horns thrown back on his neck, whilst he pawed the earth with his fore feet. The major now halted within a hundred paces from him, when be charged hint in gallant style in one of those heavy gallops for which this animal is distinomshed. On arriving, however, about ten lengths from the arse, who stood his ground nobly, the major met him, planting a hall in his neck, which checked him, and he wheeled round, taking the country right ahead, closely pursued by his invaders. At the extremity of the plain was a" feel" or pond, surrounded by a circular patch of bam boo jungle, into which he retreated, and the parties on corn ing up considered he had been mortally wounded, and had concealed himself there to die. Lieut. G., however, discharged one of his barrels at ..shat he fancied the animal's horns, when he suddenly rushed out of the muddy pool through a shower of balls, making a desperate attack upon the latter gentleman, who, with admirable coolness levelled his piece at him and pulled the trigger, but, unfortunately, without effect, the percussion tube unluckily failing. The horse and rider were both floored, and the lieutenant was immediately pinioned to the ground between the capacious barns of the exasperated beast. Providentially Mr. Campbell succeeded in placing a ball in his flank before be had time to inflict summary ven geance on his unhappy victim. On this he relinquished the object of his assault, and suddenly rushed at Mr. C., who putti::g spurs to horse escaped from his charge. The lieutenant, on recovering from his perilous dilemma, managed to conceal himself behind a white-ant hillock, overgrown with bushes, and being put quite /tors de combat, prayed within himself that the elephant might come up, and afford him temporary security against a second attack. The major now had him to himself, and approaching him tempted him again to come down. This he did at a steady gallop, roaring with dissappointment, till within a dozen paces or so, when the major lodged anot h er h a ll i n his hotly which evidently , stag gered him. He th en turned round again upon Mr Campbell, who had by this time reloaded his rifle, and from it he received a ball in one of his fore legs, just below the knee, which vw o.lip4 k ieg i lit-n to the ground. The major, on this, rode up, and 7' " 'lr. patched him. He was a j lair beast, L. having pro t s, which proved fortunate j ESB wico et,,ett them.

The banks do not extend, according to the last soundings, beyond 42 deg. 50 min. N. lat., and the spindle-shaped prolongation of the banks towards the north, laid down in many charts, has been found not to exist; the limit of the great bank in this direc tion appears to be in 48 deg. 40 min. N. lat. Towards the east, the great bank extends much farther than has been hitherto supposed, soundings having been obtained in 49deg. 45 min. long. W. of Paris. The Bonite is still carrying on the survey. Prom Pernam... Maranbam N. Orleans Mobile ..1 Savannah. Charleston New York f Direct. INov. .. 4 Indirect.

" Yes—a sudden death had ta'en place in the Regiment that he was aye puffin' and boastin' about.—Du ye mind hoo he used to be telling us boo pleased he would be if we could see his corpse?" Charles gathered the whole energy of his soul into one sentence. With compressed lips, and an eye rivetted on Mr. Pearie, he said, " I have seen it, Sir!" " Neel, was't a braw ane ?—lt maun bae been unto black, for ye mind he tauld us his men were a' niggers.—But is't come hame ? Whar saw ye his corpse?" " Old man !" said Charles, laying his hand solemnly on Mr. Pearie's shoulder, "do you think I believe your tale about a promotion in Captain Slasher's regiment " What care I whether you believe it or no? He believed it, an' that's enough. He's awa' to Lon'on,—his horses are a' to follow to-day ;—his rent's a' paid, and sae we're quit o' him. You dinna seem half pleased about it, Charles?" "Look within, into your own heart, Mr. Pearie; and tell me if you think I ought to be pleased."

Carhtagena SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SUN.—The newly-invented light of M. Gaudin, on which experiments were recently made at Paris, is an improved modification of the well-known inven tion of Lieut. Drummond. While Drummond pours a stream of oxygen gas, through spirits of wine, upon un slaked lime, Gaudin makes use of a more etherial kind of oxygen, which he conducts through burning essence of tur pentine. The Drummond light is fifteen hundred times. stronger than that of burning gas; the Gaudin light is, we are assured by the inventor, as strong as that of the sun, or thirty thousand times stronger than gas, and, of course, ten times more so than the Drummond. The method by which M. Gaudin proposes to turn the new invention to use is sin gularly striking. He proposes to erect in the island of the Pont Neuf, in the middle of the Seine and centre of Paris, a light-house, five hundred feet high, in which is to be placed a light, from a hundred thousand to a million gas-pipes strong, the power to be varied as the nights are light or dark. Paris will thus enjoy a sort of perpetual day; and as soon as the sun of the heavens has set, the sun of the Pout Neuf will rise.--Mechanics' Magazine. AFFECTING DELUSION.--Not a day has passed for several years without a stout middle-aged man being seen to walk hastily up to the Post-office, thrust into a box a piece of ear thenware, wood, or tobacco-pipe (which he_evidently stlP-_ poses to be a letter,) and then run away as if he feared detec tion. It is clear the poor fellow cannot write, but, whenever the surface of his supposed letters will admit, they are covered with unintelligible marks t and when the box is closed he leaves them in the wituioNi: The authorities at the Post office, perceiving that the light of reason has flitted from the poor fellow's brow, and being but slightly annoyed by their daily visitor, have not interfered with him; but still the poor fellow's hasty movements would seem to infer that he had not always been treated with such indifference. What makes the circumstance more remarkable is the fact that the. poor fellow resides either at Avlestone or Knighton, more than two miles from the Post-office. He is apparently a person in humble life, and as such would seem not to have had much to do with letters; but perhaps-at some period of his.life may have had that to do with one letter which has deprived him of his senses. Perhaps some of our readers can inform us of the cause of the poor feUov's madness.—Lsicerter ithircurv. A Koonntsul:ur.—More than half an hour elapsed be fore we were led to a black chasm, which proved the entrance to as miserable a hole of a longing as you can well imagine— no light, no fire, the people all asleep, or obviously indisposed to accommodate us; and we were actually beginning to de spair of anything beyond shelter from the blast, when the chiaoosh, who had been summoned from the house of the beg, or governor of the place, came in and roused up our unwilling host with a vengeance. A light was th e n . at length procured ,' and we followed it into a small room, the floor of which was covered with a dozen or twenty individuals of the human species, and of all genders, for what we could see, sleeping promiscuously, heads and tails, upon a few mats. Our entry made a deuce of a stir amongst them; the stick went to work, and up they got, some naked, others very scantily clothed, running this way and that, like drunken creatures, till at length the whole were bundled out, and we came forward to occupy their warm nests. Numuds and carpets, and pillows, however, were produced at the summons of the indefatigable chiaoosh. A tire was lighted,. and after a little while, with infinite delight, we felt ourselves begin to thaw. To complete our comfort coffee was produced, and followed in a moderate time by a tolerable pillau; and, at length, weary and sleepy, we sunk to rest.—Fraser's Winter Journey. SOLAR SYSTRSL—To afford the " mind's eye" clear no tions of the movements made by the planets and their moons, a method has been suggested by that great practical astronomer. Sir John fiernhej, upon the foliowing.princi ple :—Conceive the sun represented by a globe two feet in diameter; at 82 feet distance put down a grain of mustard seed, and you have the size and place of the planet Mercury, that bright silvery point which is generally enveloped in the solar rays. At the distance of 142 feet, put down a pea—it will be the similitude of Venus, our resplendent morning, and evening star. Two hundred and fifteen feet from the central globe, place another pea, just perceptibly larger— that is man's world, once the centre of the universe. Mars is stualler still, a good pin's head being his proper representa tive, at the distance of 337 feet. The four small planets, Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas, seem as mere particles or dust, about 500 feet from the sun • Jupiter as a middle-sized orange,,ilistant about a quarter o f a mile; Saturn, with his ring, a lesser orange, at the—remoteness of two.tiftlis of a mile; and the far Uranus dwindled into a cherry, moving round a circle which has three quarters of a mile for its radius, . . "Once for all,"—said Charles, firmly—" I know all, Mr. Pearie,—mark me,—all. I was by the water's side, last night —you understand me." "\Vhisht! for God's sake whisht—it wad ruin our credit in the town—poor Dawson has his way to make—folk wad think it was carryin' the joke owre far. It was grand fun! but sef us, man, whisht about it." During this recital, which was accompanied with many explosions of mirth, the listener was transfixed with a min gled feeling of pity and disgust. At last, however, a convic tion of the insanity of the unfortunate banker took possession of his mind. But Dawson, the quiet, steady head-clerk— the confidant of his principal's plans about Mary—the de pository of his schemes of vengeance against his rival! It was impossible to believe that both were insane. Time pressed--he resolved to leave Mr. Pearie; to explain the whole business in a few words to Mary; and then to inform Dawson of the discovery of his misdeeds. At this moment a hell was rung in the streets, and Mr. Pearie, rushing to the window, listened for a moment to the proclamation of the bellman, then looking at Chalks with a face in which alarm and vexation were very powerfully expressed, he ex claimed, "We're found out! we're found out!—what'll be come of us?-I'll gie the bellman five shillings, and bribe every one else to haud their tongues. Not a word, Charles, o' what ye saw last night." But Charles was in no mood to make promises. Mr. Pearie rushed forth to carry his plans of bribery into effect; and . Charles hurried into the Bank, Th ere , se at e d q u i e tly at his desk, as if nothing particular had happened, was Das;- i son busy making entries. PREMIUMS OF INSURANCE AT LLOYD'S.
