E t t er a t u rt. made in times, ho dal a ainaker 1,..3, deluded or disheartened—let the wise and disinterested of humbler station, although of acknowledged, well directed influence, assume the office which seems aban doned to them, and keep the Protestant people of Ire land from division, despondency, and intemperance-- keep them, in God's name, and by his help, united; ob servant of law while it exists, and prepared for an emergency in which law may be reft of all authority. Such is our counsel. Muck more willingly would we re commend, if the times admitted, the obliteration of all party badges and distinction? ; much more pleased should we be to see Irishmen, of all classes and creeds, harmo niously united as one people ; but when we see a power ful confederation formed, to effect a revolution, which, if it find Prot es t an t s unprepare d , w ill b e to th em exter mination—when we hear from the government of the country, avowals which warn us that there is no help in them—and when we are compelled to confess to ourselves that such avowals are rendered more menacingly instruc tive by the acts and arguments in which their spirit is exemplified —ice feel that Irish Protestants cannot look for aid beyond themselves, until they are, themselves, in a state to prove that they are little, if at all, dependent on others for assistance ; and, therefore, we urgently re commend Protestant union—union of the best, and most desirable description, if the natural leaders of the peo ple take their proper part in promoting and cementing it —but, in any case, uistiorr—and, if the nobility and higher orders of the gentry refuse or withhold their aid— A UNION OF THE PROTESTANT DEMOCRACY.

SELECTIONS. HAPPY ACCIDENTS.—We owe the origin of astronomy to wandering Chaldean astrologers; the origin of che mistry to cheating alchymists ; the origin of the elder mathematics is like the origin of modern architecture, lost in fabulous ages ; the modern mathematics are traceable to half-civilised Arabs ; the fall of an apple suggested Newton's sublime theory ; the steam-engine was at first a plaything; and the science to which we owe the wonders of the " electric telegraph" was suggested in our own age by the convulsions of a fish preparing for a priest's dinner. RISE OF NOBLE FAMILIES.—The family of Osborne (Duke of Leeds) dates its rise from a young apprentice of that name, who was a silversmith, and who saved his master's only daughter from drowning ; a service re warded by her hand and fortune. The Normanbies de scend from a blacksmith named Phipps, who realised a fortune by his discoveries. The Herberts owe their title of Earls of Montgomery to a predecessor in the reign of James 1., who took a horsewhipping from one Ramsay without resenting it. The king was so delighted that he made the patient Philip Herbert, Knight, Baron, Viscount and Earl of Montgomery, all in one day. SHAKING HANDS.—As a means of defence, the Eng lishman uses the clenched fist, and not the dagger, as the Spaniards and It lians. They consider this as a more manly, noble, and, as being more at hand when wanted, a more efficient t ower. But for friendship, as its most heartfelt expression, the worthiest, manliest, and sincerest sign of feeling they give the open hand. To us, indeed, this English hand-shaking, when immoderate, as it some times is, has a somewhat comical effect. But it has its bright side also. For in this custom, hearty, strong, and sometimes rough, we see expressed the deep fraternal sympathy of these great nations. Bodily union, as far as the junction of the ten fingers can effect it, is a beautiful symbol of that of the soul, and almost all nations have adopted two bands clasped together as the emblem of mutual brotherhood and aid. There is a language, silent indeed, but ever variously expressive, in this custom. Think but upon its degrees ; the pressure ; tne grasp ; the hands held ; twisted within each other, given, or shaken ; all, from woman's soft, gentle touch, which seems to lin ger as a feeling, to man's nervous, strong retention. For example, the bishop's, or pastoral's shake. This is pro longed, and indicative of inward feeling, as though it would say. "And you are also one of my fold." Such a greeting, if the pastor be a man of God, and we impressed by religious feeling, has a happier influence than a two hours' discourse. And when we pray—when in the still ness of the soul, with no disturbing passion in our mind, do we not fold our hands together as the sign that we are in charity with all, and that reconciled, passionless, in christian union with men, we bow before the shrine of the Most High ? Mark those who, unacquainted with each other, or possibly estranged, offer the hand as a mere act of outward courtesy. How restrained is their action ; how motionless, unfeeling, insensible ; like oil upon water one hand rests within another; how readily they depart, each glad to escape from this hypocritical communion. On the contrary, when long-tried friends, who have been separated for 3ears, again meet, with what haste and warmth of feeling do they not grasp the hand ; how short, but hearty, is their salutation. " Well met." They seem riveted together as the links of a chain, true and insepara ble, with hearts for any fate. And when we bid " Fare well," does not our band rest folded with another's, mo tionless, yet thrilling with gentlest touch ; for sorrow and affliction have a soft restraining feeling which refuses to yield the hand, so often clasped in love, until the last moment of separation.—Kohl's English Sketches.

A very able article under this heading is published in the Dublin University Magazine, for the present month, which contains advice and warning worthy of the consi deration not of Irish Protestants only but of the Pro testants of the United Kingdom. Reviewing the past policy of successive Governments—their gradual pro gress from mere toleration of Popery to Endowment of the Church of Rome—pointing also to the energetic and practical steps recently advised to be taken on the part of the Repeaters, by their leader Mr. O'Connell, and the faint opposition offered to them by the leading mem bers of the Ministerial party, the writer contends that it would be sheer folly to entertain the hope that the union of the two countries would long be maintained by the present Parliament. The Protestants of Ireland must themselves be their own preservers ; and the fol lowing is the line of policy which he lays down for their adoption : "What should the preparation be? 'We ask of reader not to cast down the book, or to turn from e when we offer, as the first member of our answer. th, very obvious counsel—union. It is, we admit, obvious; on the very surface of the question; but not for this the less necessary to be declared. United as they are in in terests, in principles, in dangers, the Protestants of Ire land are not united in action : they ought to become so. This should be their first care; pities and activities ad missible, perhaps advisable, after they have been formed into a body, if prematurely engaged in, might prove destructive. All who would, with God's blessing, main tain the Protestant religion in Ireland, ought to be organized, and to form a consistent and effective system.

And if we assume the other hypothesis, and say that, when the Wellington cabinet carried Emancipation, and the Peel cabinet endowed Maynootb, neither was aware of the disgust they would cause to a large body of their supporters, and of the con sequent desertion from their ranks which they would thus rashly necessitate;—we ask, does such a cabinet afford those proofs of discretion which impart to the people of well-governed lands a grateful sense of security, Are the Irish gentry wise if they continue to repose in unsus pecting and in active confidence on the statesmanship of men, who, after having exposed themselves to the sur prise by which Reform was carried, have had recourse a second time to similar tactique, and so far as has hitherto been seen, with the same disastrous results ? We say again, they who were responsible for causing the breach of which Lord Grey took advantage, (every man who carries a measure to which he is in principle opposed is responsible for its consequences), and who, untaught by such a disaster, have repeated an error so very signally punished, are not equally matched against Mr. O'Con nel and his Repeal Association. If the Protestants of Ireland neglect themselves, they may, and at no distant day, blame bitterly their own indolence, and the temerity with which they trusted to men unequal to the difficulties of the times, or else unworthy of their position.

As a creator and conservator of a transparently fair skin, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR may be said to exert an almost magical power. Composed for the most part of Oriental Balsamic Exotics, to the utter exclusion of all mineral admixture, it is distinguished for its extremely bland, purifying, and soothing effects upon the skin ; and, by acting upon the pores and minute secretory vessels, expels all impurities from the surface, allays every ten dency to inflammation, and thus effectually dissipates all redness, tan, pimples, spots, blotches, freckles, sunburn, and other unsightly cutaneous visitations. The radiant bloom it imparts to the cheek; the softness and delicacy which it induces on the hands, arms, and neck; its capa bility of soothing irritation and removing cutaneous de fects, sallowness, and all unsightly appearances, render it indispensable to every toilet. It is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing Wash, in travelling, during the heat and dust of summer ; and in cases of sunburn, stings of insects, or incidental in flammation, its virtues have l ong an d extens i vely been acknowledged. To LADIES, during the period of suckling, it is of great importance ; it affords relief to inflamed nipples, and cools and renders the infant's mouth truly comfortable. To GENTLEMEN afflicted with a tenderness of the skin in shaving, the application of the Kalydor will be found to allay all cuticular irritation, removing every pimple and all rou g h ness, and rendering the skin soft and smooth.

ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE Upon the importance of providing a direct Railway communication between the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, the large commercial town of Liverpool, and the town of Birkenhead, rapidly rising to eminence, and the rich Mineral district of North Wales and the port of Holyhead, little need be said to recommend to the public a Line of Railway having for its object those great advan tages. This Line of Railway has, therefore, been pro jected, not only with a view of supplying the cheapest, most direct, and best means of communication, between the ports of Holyhead, Birkenhead, and Liverpool, but also for the purpose of affording a ready means of transit and shipment for the produce of the great Coal Fields and rich Mineral Districts of -North Wales, now entirely devoid of Railway communication. By means of this Line of Railway a considerable reduc tion of distance, to the extent of eleven miles; over all existing and projected Lines, and a consequent saving of time and expense, will be effected between Holyhead, Birkenhead, Liverpool, and the Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire ; and this, coupled with the fact of the Terminus of the Line adjoining the new docks forming at Birkenhead, and thereby materially lessening the cost of transhipment of merchandise, cannot fail to make it the cheapest and most preferable-medium for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise between these ports. To the towns of Mold, Flint, Bagilt, Holywell, and the districts surrounding them, this undertaking must ensure the most incalculable advantages, by opening to their rich mineral productions a ready and cheap access to the important markets of Liverpool, Birkenhead, and Man cheter ; and, on the other hand, great benefit will accrue to these markets by th e conveyance t hi ther of Iron, been credibly info r m e d th a t th e A nt i -corn-1 REGISTER !

This crossing will be effected, without difficulty, either by means of an embankment or by a viaduct upon piles, whichever mode may be considered the more advantageous to the company ; but should arrangements be made with parties having existing interests in the land to be re claimed, the former mode will be adopted. It is contem plated to extend the present new Channel formed by the River Dee Company from Connah's Quay to Flint ; to form at Flint a Tidal Basin, capacious Locks and Weirs, and to carry the Railway across these Locks by means of Swing Bridges ; and thus, at a very trifling cost, upwards of 8,000 acres of land will be reclaimed, and a continuous and uniform depth of water and means of constant com munication will be kept up between Chester and Flint for vessels of a large burthen. The Line of Railway will not interfere with any park like or other ornamental grounds. No detailed estimates of Traffic have yet been taken ; but the promoters are in possession of sufficient statistics to say, that, looking at the various sources of traffic, as above detailed, which must necessarily flow upon this Line, they may with confidence anticipate that a return of at least 8 per cent may be fairly expected on the outlay. It may be well to state, that, in estimating the cost of this Railway, no deduction has been made on account of the great value of the land to be reclaimed from the Dee. This must necessarily be a matter for after arrangement. Means will be taken to obtain an Act of Parliament in the next session, with the usual clauses for restricting the liability of each Shareholder ; and it is proposed to allow interest on the paid-up capital.
