Writers have, variously iiceouni duelling—some referring- it to the judicial combat called ordeal of battle—t;m elision; of an ignoraut and superstitions age ; others to the tournaments aad jousts of th e d a y s o f a l n y a lye, which, .i.yiein in sport, often led to real and tAtal pesain , ll Cut kiuns. o.hers, again, will have it. that. the dual° is of eastern origin, and not known in Europe b. fore the tiiee 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 commeneement in ti!itOS cumlarati7ely barba rous, when force had more to do with the decision of right and the redress of wrongs than reason and law. A morning contemporary offers a sort of defence for it by saving that " it appears to be an unfortunate ne cessity of civilisation." If it were a necessity of vilisation 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, rind the fascina tion of poetry to that perfection which has made their works models of excellence to all succeeding ages, know nothing of that " necessity of civilisation" which consists in the modern abFurdity of "gentlemanly sa tisfaction." That people who- triumphed over slavery and barbarism at Mar.ithon•and Salamis—that other greater people who carried their arms and the arts of civilisation fruit) tire centre of Italy to the utmost li mits of the known world, knew nothing of the honour able practice which stained with the noble and ignoble blood of senatia; and sharpers, lords and Ii• 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 a ,„ %Jul:o,e iil ills ot'. -" The self-devoted De: ii died, The Fabii fell, and the great Seipios conquered." It is not a great while since we felt it our duty to express our nornitio-ated 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 tire feat would quite overshadow the bloody nature of the crime, and any journal that was bold enough to brand with honest inaignation the " accomplished" culprit, would be handed over by some of our high-minded ,lad 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 penaity 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 void "assassin" advisedly. Professed duellists are gene rally rank cowards, who rely upcin 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 unpracticed 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 homioide, whether he was a mi litary " scamp" or a " civil" bully, who relied upon his practice with " hair triggers" to a life of hard ta bour in a chained gang in a penal settlement. The duelling hero's fashionable glory would no longer shed 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 oat 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. Alto 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 runnier' 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 honourable assassination, receives a verdict of " hop pourable acquittal"—bows to the judge, who looks upon a vulgar murderer, perhaps, with a different eve —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 away. Let the sentence of the blood stained duellist be that of g ravated manslaughter, with its degraded doom of transportation for life to a penal settlement, and duelling will he no longer a fashionable vocation. BOOLOGN2.—THE LATE DUEL.— ( Frum a Correvondeta.) —Mr. Eliot, one of the principals in the late final noel at Wimbledon Common, has been resining at one of the prin cipal hotelsin Boulogne for he fortnight, nun is oa very good terms with Young Dutch Salo, the pugilist, woo has been staving there ever since a vernn.it of Ellallslaughier was returned against him by a coroner's jury. for Eoonsting cri the killing of Brighton Bill, in a prize light. Beth Ellin and Young Dutch Sam intend to remain at Boulogne until the of in which they were engaged are entirely blown over. Young Dutch Sam is supported by the fancy, anti dresses well; out since his stay at Boulogne he has been remarkable for his steady habits and.general good behaviour. We can 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 toe part they acted. On Friday evening last Eliot favoured the people of B ou l ogne w i t h a specimen of his pugilistic powers, by encountering three or four Frenchmen near the Bath estaolishment, who lie con ceived had insuited him. In the vulgar slang of the ring, be pitched into the Frenchmen, who, however, were getting the best of the a(l'ray, when an English coachman interfere( in his behalf. and for so, &jag was vent speedo) , taken by the gendarmes from the box of his carriage, and conveyed to the guard-house for the night, leaving the horses to no where they pleased with •t he empty carrion ' v! e. i coacoman was taken before the proper trithina: on ,Saturday morning, and was allowed to depart afterreceiving anintimation that be would receive a summons when further nroneediogs were taken. 'the police will take care iii the meantime that he does not leave the place. Eliot continued to eiude the vigi lance of the gendarmerie. Boulugue is' really considered quite an asylum for those who dread the terrors of the lee in England, 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 up to an English police ofßcer, although charged, on the vet dict of a coroner's jury, since confirmed by the grand jury, of wilful murder. It is well understood at Boulognethat 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. In Young Dutch Sam's case no attempt has ever been made to take him into :custody, although some of his companions have been 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 never got off his box, but it is feared he will be lined and imprisoned; so much for French police and French law.—Morn ing Chronicle, VALEDICTORY ADDRESS OF THE DEPUTATION FROM THE CHURCH IN UPPER CANADA. IlivtriG been deputed, with the Rev. Benjamin Cronyn, by the Church in Upper Canada "to make known to tL,e " Archbishops, Bishops, and Dignitaries of the United Church "of England and Ireland, the destitute state of her mem " bers in the CanadaF, and, with their permission, to take " such steps as might be found most expedient to interest our " brethren, both of the Clergy and Laity, in our favour, acid " excite in their hearts a desire, as they have the o.thility, to " assist us in supplying the spiritual wants of our people, and " in building up a branch of the United Church in those ex " tensive provinces ;"—and being now on the eve of my re turn, it trust, appear inopportune, briefly to state the results of our mission : The lamented indisposition and subsequent demise of our beloved 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 commtinication, by transmitting to his Grace copies of every letter of importance which I have either written or re cei?ed. It is scarcely necessary to say that his Grace has un ceasingly manifested the liveliest interest in nor cause.. From the other Archbishops, and from many of the Bishops, we have received similar assurances of sympathy, and full permission to preach and hold public ineetin , s in their dioceses. We ;,give presented our humble nv-moritil to our most gracious Sovereign the Queen. To the Imperial_ Legislature oar petition for relief has been submitted, which in the House of Peers gave rise to an animated an d i n t eres tin g discussion. With 'her Majesty's Government I have used every legi;i mate effort to proenre a Bishop, and some alleviation to our spiritual wants. We have brought the state of our Chute!) personally under the attention of about two thousa:td of our Clergy, and one uniform expression of interest has been the The Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dubin have gi:•en public proof of their penozasion l';iat the pr:)spe lily of the colonial members of the Church is necessary to the well-being of the natioual Zion. The members of both 'douses of Parliament have been supplied with a Copy ,o 1 the " History of the Church in Upper Canada - ;'' and from many I have received unequivocal testimony that the subject considered by them as worthy -of most serious considera tion. Several members of both houses have openly espoused the interests of our deserted 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 nor minted statements. About three thousand copies of our " History" have been circulated, and nearly two hundred thouland 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. 1 have now openings in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset. Glou cester, Wilts, Hants, Surrey, Berks, Warwick, Suffolk, Lin coln, and York; in other words, abundant occupation for another year: but I am induced to decline any further pro ceedings for reasons which appear conclusive to my tAva 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 I'vlissionartes; 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 road 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 viatio❑ to our Colonial destitution. (I cannot refrain from remarking here, on a most unaccountable mis-statement which has been put into the Bishop of London's Speech, viz , that we, in upper Cabada, " 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 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 ij might not be considered expedient to anticipate, by my own private eff(Ai n ts, this public appeal. Mutt hl y,—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 front the treasurer and secretary that the committee are resolved to carry on the labours of the society with every possible energy. ant anxious to give publicity to this statement, inasmuch as under an erroneous impression received at a committee meet iug, I observed, in my "history," that the society would cease to exist us soon as the " Society for the Propagation of the Gospel" had succeeded in effectually relieving the spiri tual necessities of the Provint-e. Fifthly,—My own flock in Upper Canada have reiterated the expression of their desire, to which expression my Din. cesau, tire Bisho p of Montreal. has given the sanction of his assent, that. 1 should return to say labours amongst them. They have patiently endured an absence of eighteen months: and few parishes in'Enzland 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 daises, and consequently utterly unable to pro cure spiritual instruction fur themselves. Upper Canada is equal in extent to England and Wales, and is partially inhabited throughout this entire extent of couitry. The reads are always bad and frequently almost impassable. The lopniation exceeds 510,000. Clergy: c, (I s ellielent, 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 Eiwtomi's spiritual riches. :The population of England may be estimated atjburteen millions, and the Clergy at fifteen housand. Assuming the facilities of communication to be iqual io both countries, our proportion of Clergymen, accord s» to the relative state of the population of the two COW:- tries, should be six hundred. We have, therefore, sixty attempting iu a sphere occupied in England by . fi j .- *teen thou sand, to do the work of six hundred. Or thus: take away thirteen thousand five hundred Clergymen from the Church 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 he? . Let the 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 conoregation follow the ex ample. We need a Bishop. No Bishop—no Church. -Is it right that the Runtish Church should have a Bishop and Priests maintained at the public expense in Uppei Canada where their foilowers form but a small fraction of the popula tion, and that encouragement should he 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 WO miles in length, three tines 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 grant to the "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel," and au annual grant for clearing popions of the "Clergy Reserves." for glebes, as the growing Ivants 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 no 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 from 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 Gen. 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 from 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 I. remained- in England, to have published at the opening of the next session of Patliatnent, a form of petition embracing these several objects, but I ant 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 he 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 ! hlay the great Head of the Church inspire the members of his body here with the spirit of sympathy and love towards Ills destitute members in our Colonies.

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 rail"; that fell on that day. The provost and magistrates oc rereed a p t sw in the front gallery. Every one who heard Dr. Chalmers, speaks of his address a 8 unanswerable; and we are informed that it made a deep impression on many dissenters who attended.

HEIGHT OF WATER IN THE CANADIAN LAKES.—We understand that Mr. Alfred Barrett, chief engineer upon the western section of the Erie Canal, with Mr. D. Jay Brown, assistaut-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 Irons that period to this. On examination they learned that since the year 1825 that lake had been gra duady rising, and within three years past rapidly increasing in volume, and is now six feet eight inches higher than in 1825. It has lallen 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 es can be ascertained, from water-marks at the toot of the lake, and at Black Rock harbour, has risen only about four t;eet, or something less. And the Niagara river below, about the sense, 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 bigh stages of water which suc ceeded the cold and wet seasons of 1815, 1816, and 1817. During those threeyears 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 iu depth, and they continued to fall gradually its 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.— Buffirlo Curnmercial Advertiser. • HA LLEY's Costar.—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 carnet is the great glory of modern cal culation. To see the predicted return of such a body now verified for the second time, true to a single day—nay, to a 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 ambling blocks of comets, is really superb. However. w I have now to relate refers to a very singular and instruct, e fact in its physical history. I saw the comet for the first time, after its perihelion passage, on the night of the 25th of January. Mr. Meeker saw it on the 24th, From this time we, of course, both observed it regularly. Its appearance at List was that of a round, well-degned disc, having near its centre a very small 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 ait li ext raordinary rapidity; and by measuring its diameter at every favourabie opportunity, and laying down the measures by a projected curve, I found the curve to be very nearly a straight line, indicating a uni form late of increase; and by tracing back this line to its intersection with its axis, I was led, at the time, to this very singular conclusinta—viz. that on the list of January, at 2h. r, to. 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 cemmenced. Well! all this was speculation. lint here conies the mutter inflect I refer to, and which, observe, was communicated to use no longer ago than last month by the venerable Olbers, whom I visited in 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 he states that he had actually procured on observation of that comet on the night of the 2,lst of January. Well. then, how di : it appear ?. why, as a star of the sixth magnitude—a bright concentrated aoint, which showed no disc, with a magaifying pager of 140! And that it actually wits the comet, and no star, he satisfied himself, by turning his telescope on that imitit where he I:ad seen it. ft was gone l Moreover, he had taken care to secure, by actual observation, the place of the car he observed; that place agreed to exact precision with his computation : that star was the comet, in short. Now, &think this observation every way remarkable. First, it is tecoarklble for the fact, that M. Boguslawski was (late to observe it atall 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 Im:ruling ear:ter observations. I inn sure that I must often have swept, tinth a night-glass. over the very spot where it sti,od in the mornings uefere sunrise. And never was astonishment greater than mkt, at seeing it riding high iu the sky, broadly visible to the naked eye, when pointed out to me by Mr. Maclear, who L;aw it with no less amazement on the 24th. The next remarkable feature is the enormously rapid slate 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 abtraction of heat. It appears to trio, that the nuitlens and grosser parts of the comet Must have been entirely evaporated during its perihelion, anti reprecipitated during, its recess from the sun, as it came into a colder region ; and 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. m. or perhaps an hour or two later."—.4thenceum. DISCOVERY OP A MARINE SAURIAN AritNiat..—For the last twenty years, anatomists have agreed that the extinct saurians must have inhabited the 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 turtl e , frequenting the ocean, so there may have been 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 H. 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 tar, nearly six hundred miles to the westward of the Coast of South Aa.erica. They are volcanic, some of them being three thousand or four thousand feet high; and one of them, Albemarle island, seventy-five miles lung. The climate is mild; very little rain faits; and, in the whole archipelago, there is only one rill of fresh water that 'reaches the coast: The soil is, for the most part, dry and harsh, and the vege tation scanty. The birds, reptiles, plants, anti insects are, with very few exceptions, o f species found nowhere else in the world, although all partake, in their general form, of an American character. Of the matt-samba, says Mr. Darwin, .one species alone appears to be indigenous, namely, a large aura peculiar kind of mouse; but the number of lizards, tor toises, and snakes, is so great, that it may be called .a land of re/stiles. The variety, indeed, of species is small; but the individuals of each are in wonderful abundance. There is a turtle, a large tortoise (Testudo Indicus,) four lizards, and, about the same number of snakes. but uo tregs outset's. Two of the lizards belong, to the family Iguanidce of Bell, and to a peculiar genus (Ambly 41-ynclins) established by that natural ist; and so named from their obtusely-truncated head and short snout. Ot 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. "'lbis marine saurian," says Mr. Darwin, "is extremely common on all the islands throughout the archipelago. It lives exclusively on the rocky sea beaches, and I never 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 laud; but, when in the wa ter, it swims with perfect easq and quickness, by a serpentine movement of its body and flattened tail, the legs during this time being motiouiess and closely collapsed on its sides. Their limbs and strong claws are admirably adapted for crawl ing over the rugged and fissured masses of lava which every where form the coast. In such situations, a group of six or teven of these hideous reptiles may oftentimes be seen on the black rocks, a few feet above the surf, basking in the sun with eutstreched legs."—Lyell's Elements of Geology. Power: ne Russ! s.—Some grave politicians who under value the power of Russia, anil think that Messrs. Roths child are the arbiters of peace or war, significantly allude to what they call her vulnerable point ; they talk of her financial embarrassments, 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 fur the crown, and at the cost of the landed pro prietors; that every military expedition, once out ohs country like Russia, is a speculation which can hardly fail to turn out profitable to the empire, as there is scarcely on record a treaty of peace signed between that power and her adver saries by which clue did not u titwit,ly gain some augmenta - tiers to her own territory.—Ratices's Cite of the Czar. PARTRIDGE SIIOoTING IN SOUTH AhtERICA.—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 "mails/ions velocity in a direction uudeviatingly horizontal. When shot in this fatter 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 around. Of all the shooting, grouse, woodcock, pheasant , " s alackcock, partridge, snipe, ptarmigan, there is none equal in intensity of delight and excitement to this of the large South Am . erican partridge. He is called, par e:ccellence, " perdriz grande," or large partridge. his scenlts so strong that from the moment your dog comes upon it, the agitation of his fr a m e i s a ll but hysterical. The bird, before he will rise, runs at a prodigious rate; anti if your dog, in coming aeon him, as an' English dog does when he has traced a covey, should stop and tie clown, you would never get a shot. The bind 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 bird, you are obliged to encourage your dog to go in arum him, to follow up yourself the game with un eemitting alacrity, and topay, with palpitating satisfaction. after perhaps a ten minutes' run, for the achievement of bringing down, in all his irresistible career of flight, the goodly prize 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."--rThe Marquis of Londonderry's Tour to tige Northern Courts.

ItmAtcA.—By her Majesty's packet Hornet we have this day received files of Jamaica papers to the 11th ultimo, inclusive. We are sorry to find that the all important period appointed for the abrogation of the apprenticeship has not passed off as satisfactorily as might have been anticipated. We have no room to day for any extended comments on the subject, and hasten to present our readers with a few extracts from the papers. (From the Royal Gazette of Aug. 4.) •FREEDOM.—The Jubilee is past. That day so dreaded by all connected with the British West India Colonies—when the grand national experiment, of liberating hundreds of thousands of bondsmen, and allowing them to enter into all the privileges of freemen, is happily passed away. The last remnant of slavery has been dissipated, mud as time waits for no man, as it glides swiftly - and regularly on, so the hour on which slivery was to cease, approached, arrived, went, and the next bout beheld our people freemen in every sense of the word. Thank Goal. there is no restriction, nothing to fetter the liberated slave. lie is free to tram where the canopy of heaven overVangs the British diiminions—'he is free as the eagle on the wing, and no man can eontroul him —his fetters are unbound, broken, snapt ay...ler, by the wisdom of our legislature—and he is now only amenable to the laws of God and his country. THE VESTIVITIES.—E a rIy on the afternoon of the 31st of July, our usually quiet city began to be in commotion, and numerous parties were seen proceeding to the Race Course, to inspect the preparations for the festivities of the evening.. Towards dusk a large concourse of the rabble collected to getlorr, and with fife and (truth, and two or three flags, pro ceeded from the Parade to the Race Course, where, soon after, rockets were sent up, and fire-works exhibited for the . amusement of the people; a very excellent transparency was shown, and a miserable attempt at such a thing was also ex hibited on the Parade. Towards ten o'clock, almost all had retired, some to court the sleeping God, others to the chapels, to watch the hour when freedom should be ushered in, and no vestige of slavery remain in Jamaica, while a few kept la! la! la! joy, to the disturbance of the more sober citizens, with their noise. The 2d, like the day before, was still and silent as the grave. Towards inid-day, however, our late apprentices and crowds of people were again seen approaching the scene of festivity. The Ist of August came, and the sun which rose that morning shed its lustre on a free country. All was hushed as the Sabbath, and the-Church bell gave %yarning that the House of God was open, to'allow all ranks to retain thanks, and give praise for the glorious day. The day passed in quietness—the churches and chapels were well attended, and nothing but the occasional burst of those who had been re galed and were making merry towards the evening seemed to interrupt the calm and peaceful state of the city. (From the Royal Gazettee of Aug. 11.) THE STATE op THE ISLAND.—It is with sincere regret that we have this week to deplore the lamentable state of ex citement which pervades souse districts of the country, and the perverseness and obstinacy which betrays itself in the minds of most of our people. Goaded as they are by those who ought to preach peace and forbearance, we cannot but condemn in the most severe terms the manner which the Baptist missionaries have conducted themselves, at a period ,then they ought to have been most guarded in preventing those over whom they have the most unbounded sway to act otherwise than in a manner in which no blame could have been attached to them. But what is the state of the island ? From almost every parish, accounts have been received of the total cessation from labour. And from what cause? The exorbitant demand for excessiue wages. In almost every parish 2s. 6d:, 3s. 4d., or ss. a day is de manded, wages which could only be afforded by proprietors making 3,4, or S(X) hogsheads of sugar under the most favor able circumstances—while those snaking 100 or 150 must be thrown up. Were it even possible to suppose the people could hold out for high wages, and that the planter would have to give in, the only manner in which it would be possi ble for the planter to exist, would be, by a complete reduc tion of the duties on sugar, without which he would be ruined. This is not, however, at present the question. We have made . such extracts from the Nortbside Papers as will show the excited and alarming state of the parish of Trelawny; besides which our private letters state, " that Mr. Oughton (a Baptist Minister) his publicly told the people to let the canes rot upon the field and the ships go home in ballast, sooner than take one farthing less than 2s. 6d. per diem—and a congregation of 1500 men, heard a Minister of the Gospel speak in the most disrespectful terms of the proprietors at home, and dare his members to lift a hoe under 2s. 6d. a day." Now we ask, is this a prudent course for a Minister of the Gospel, one who ought to be a messenger of peace, to pursue. We deprecate such conduct. We denounce the conduct of the Rev. Gen tlemen, Messrs. Knibb and Oughton, as fraught with the ut most danger to this island, and what ought to engage the at tention of her Majesty's government. We understand that those Ministers who advocate the course of peace and forbear ance, are unheeded and held up to ridicule and abuse. In fact we have it from the best authority, that even Mr. Bur chell is ashamed of and reprobates the conduct of his Bre-. three on the Nortbside of the island. It is said, that the ex citement at this time occasioued by the addresses of Oughton,' is tremendous, and quite equal to that of Mr. Knibb.. DONCASTER. MEETING.-MON DAY SEPT. 17, 1838.
