A COUNTRY LIFE. Front Me Opera of " The Village Coquettes," by Boz, (Charles Dickens, Esq.) There's a charm in spring, when ev'ry thing Is bursting from the ground— AViien pleasant showers bring forth the flow'rs, And all is life around. In summer day the fragrant bay Most sweetly scents the breeze, And all is still, save murntring rill - Or sound of humming bees. Old Autum❑ come, with rustygun In quest of birds we roam; Unerring aim, we mark the game, And proudly bear it home. A winter's night has it's delight, Well armed to bed we go ; A winter's day we're blithe and gay, Snipe-shooting in the snow. A country life, without the strife And noise and din of town, Is all I need; I take no heed Of splendour or renown. And when I die, oh, let me live Where trees above me wave; Let wild plants bloom around my tomb, My quiet country grave. THE HUNTER. (From Blickzeood's Magazine.) Merrily winds the bunter's horn, And loud the ban of dogs replying, When before the shout of the fleet-foot morn The shadows of night are flying. Sullen the boar in the deep green wood, And proud the stag that roams the forest, And noble the steed with his warlike blood, That exults when the toil is sorest. Fair is the land of hill and plain, And lonely hills in misty mountains; And the crags where eagles in tempest reign, And glittering lakes and fountains. These are the joys that hunters find, Whate'er the sky that's bending o'er them, When they leave their cares on their beds behind, And earth is all fresh before them. Day ever chases away the night, And wind pursues the waves of ocean, And the stars are brother-like hunters bright, And all is in ceaseless *lotion. Life is a chase, and so 'tis joy, And hope foretells Om hunter's morrow; 'Tis the skill of man and the bliss of boy To gallop away from sorrow. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. RADICAL NOTIONS OF COLONISATION. (From the Morning Herald.) It is curious to mark the facility with which the party of the political economists can change its ground on the subject of colonisation. The same men who are urging the abandonment of the Canadas, on the ground that colonies are unprofitable, are urging the establishment of a colony in New Zealand, on the ground that coloni sation is the most profitable of all practices to a great nation. When we state, that " the same men" are pitting forward these contradictory doctrines, we must be un derstood, with certain qualifications. The men who in dulge in the advocacy of these opposite opinions belong to one class, and promulgate the same doctrines, unless when fettered by the influence of particular circuinstan .ces. Thus, for instance, the ministerial daily papers do nut, for very obvious reasons, call for the abandonment of the Canadas; yet no one can doubt, that if their pa trons had been out of office during the late crisis, the Chronicle and the Globe would have echoed the senti ments of Mr. Roebuck, and of Mr. Warburton, and of all the other public men, who have advocated the theory of colonial emancipation. As matters stand, these pa pers have been content to express approbation, in a ge neral way, of the principles which the intimates and correspondents of Papineau and Mackenzie have pro 'claimed in the market-places and from the house tops. The ministerial papers have, in fact, made the question of separation simply a question of time. Bearing in mind these facts, we were somewhat amused with the following passage in the Globe of last night, in commendation of the projected New Zealand job : "Considering, however, what are the results produced by colonization to this country—that, but for the establishment if colonies, more than half of our commerce and manufactures would have had no existence ; that every interest of the country is capa ble of indefinite enlargement by the further extension of our colo nies—we ao think that all such proposals as that of which we are now writing are entitled to the favourable regard of the go , vernment and of the country. Ahead ! , the colonies which we have painted in the southern. hemisphere promise to render us inde pendent of the continent of Europe for our supply or wool; and a colony in New Zealand might render us eventually independent of .Ru.sia for our Hemp, at the same time that it might have the .effect of opening inure extensive and more profitable markets for our manufactures among the islands of the east, and along the whole western shore of South America." This passage, proceeding from an organ of the politi cal-economical party, is, we repeat, eminently curious. When the value of a powerful and important colony like Canada is in question, the economists are never weary of attempting to show, that its retention involves a mighty loss to England : when some ricketty attempt at colonisation is about to be made, the economists (if they are to have the superintendence of the job) assure us with the utmost earnestness, " that every interest of the country is capable of indefinite enlargement by the further extension of our colonies." • 'No truth can be less questionable than that embodied in this latter proposition ; but if the proposition in ques . tion be undeniably true, in reference to the formation of new colonies, its truth becomes more irresistible a hun dred-fold, in reference to the retention of colonies of the stamp of Canada! The Globe justly observes, that " the colonies which we have planted in the southern hemisphere promise to render us independent of the continent of Europe, for our supply of wool." True; and to us the maintenance and extension of that " independence" has always been an object of anxiety. 'We have, therefore, always ad vocated the cultivation of colonial rather than of foreign trade—and of home trade in preference even to colonial. For these reasons, we should rather witness the esta blishment of a colony in Near Zealand than the exten sion of the free-trade system in Europe ; but we should, at the same time, rather witness an honest attempt to reclaim the waste lands of England and of Ireland, than the most successful attempt to form a colony in New Zealand, or elsewhere. The sentiments which we have just quoted from the Globe are, in short, in admirable ac- Cordance with the sentiments on these subjects which we have always professed; but how the establishment of the principle of " independence of the continent of Europe" may be reconciled with the Globe's general theory of free trade, we leave to our contemporary to determine. We can, in the meantime, only congratulate bins on his apparent conversion to the true faith. POOR LAWS FOR IRELAND. (From the 31ackburn Standard.) One of the measures which have lately occupied the attention of Parliament is the Irish Poor Law Bill, a measure long since demanded, and the only one calcu lated to diminish the sufferings of that unhappy coun try. If we survey the state and condition of any nation upon earth, examine the history and resources of king doms, compare the relative advances of each in freedom, civilization, or trade, we shall perceive in all some com mon principle, some quickening spirit, some active and intelligible incitement to effort, some gradual course of improvement, until over-luxury and over refinement have relaxed and enervated the muscles of some ; others have fallen either by powerful adversaries, or by the spontaneous combustion of internal warfare; and others endured in spite of time, lassitude, and the belligerent aggressions of hostile neighbours. - "We shall in vain look for another poor and wretched isle, connected by treaty and bound under one sove reignty with a rich and powerful state, grovelling in the very dust of abject need, and embracing within its ocean belt two millions of paupers,—we shall in vain search csir a parallel to the frightful impoverishment of Ireland in the whole volume of human history. - How, why, wherefore is it thus ? How is it that we find one portion of the empire prosperous, free, and full of activity ; another sluggish, famished, and heart-bro ken ? The causes are manifold. Would Ireland long remain in the state she is with an English or Scotch po pulation ? World her rivers flow idly on unburdened with navigation—her green fields put forth grass, and know no season for the plough, no seed-time, no harvest —and her children run naked by the wayside—and her women travail in affliction No ! The position of time Protestant population in Ireland demonstrates the real causes of her difficulties—namely, her ignorance, sub jection to priestly tyranny, her superstition, her apathy, prejudices, and violence, her immemorial prostration, her unchanged barbarism, her fatal rejection of that liberty Which has blest so long the inhabitants of this country, her unyielding tenacity to the errors and slavery of three centuries since. The path of Protestantism in Ireland is marked with prosperity as with an enchanter's wand, but Popery bath produced and perpetuated a moral and physical wilderness, and where it governs may be ascer tained by the dearth around, as of old it was said that every thing faded when approached by an evil spirit.. - "The struggles' and conspiracies of religious hostility baVe banished Capital from the land, except in districts where confidence is insured by the presence of freedom. The small farmer, scared from his fields by bloodshed and rapine, has fled to the colonies. Manufactures in Ire land are wofully limited. All the agencies of commerce are defective. Distrust, party rancour, intimidation, hi • gotry, and endless contests, have conjointly occasioned a state of thing s which has been gradually darkening un til two millions of persons are devoured by beggary— dying from want—or defying. the law: tll robbery and assassination. What is the remedy for such evils? How can the gi gantic suffering of the Irish peasantry be mitigated or subdued? LaboUr they cannot have till some security is provided for life and capital. Can such misery he wermitted to remain ? It i s impossible; and the only iproba bI e method of allaying it is through the introduc tion of a poor law which shall partially provide for the necessities of the destitute—remove the motive and ex cuse for pillage and violence—relax the grasping despo tism of the priesthood—and by withdrawing in a degree the cause of apprehension, invite the peaceful approaches of speculation and manufacture, and finally, by furnish ing work for the poor population, relie%e them at length of their dependency, and let them, like their fellow-sub jects,,feel, for the first time, the glow and healthy pulse of hottest industry. Moreover, the introduction of a well-digested poor law (excluding many of the objectionable clauses which must ere long be expunged from the'English bill) will counteract partially the acknowledged evils of absentee ism; for while the property of the rich absentee is taxed to supply his unfortunate countrymen with food, in many cases the causes of his absence will disappear with the disappearance of turbulence and the commission of tho se savage and atrocious crimes which might well remove a landlord from his estate, and expel opulence from the soil. That we, perhaps, anticipate results too visionary from the establishment of poor laws in Ireland we are not vain enough to consider impossible; but that good— great good—and lasting benefits will be consequent on their introduction, we earnestly and unfeignedly be lieve. Some hardship, it is true, will be entailed upon the rate-payers, but that will be temporary ; property will sustain an additional impost, but. that after a while will gradually abate, _ and return ample interest to the owner by purchasing peace, and surrounding his posses• sions with some degree of security. But it 'is here where the " patriots," the " liberators," the dear mar tyrs for their country, O'Connell and Sheil, perceive matter for hostility. It is to the pocket that all their frothy declamation tends, and when to snatch a multitude of fellow-creatures from the jaws of penury, a slight something in the pound is to be drawn from their purses, great is their horror, loud their condemnation, and piti fulthe terror and amazement of these venal agitators. If the baseness, depravity, profligacy, and pauper robbing hypocrisy which constitute O'Connell's charac ter could be perfectly finished, it would be by his mean • tress and hateful obduracy in resisting the only measure which can possibly relieve the afflicting distresses of his country. " Ireland is too poor for a poor law," says the heartless impostor, and by a process of hommopathic po licy, by wringing the crust from the hand of the starving peasant, and administering new necessities, he would extricate the hapless wretches from their wants by dis missing them from existence. What must be the condi tion of a country which is too poor for a poor law, if we understand the fellow rightly, and he means to say that destitution prevails so largely that it is beyond the power of the law to furnish subsistence for the starving. It is not too poor, but his influence and power over the rnis guided beings whom he has so long robbed and betrayed will be " poor indeed," when they shall begin to know their real interests, the protection of the law, the pa cific achievements of industry, and the holy pride of spi ritual freedom. We are confidently impressed with the belief that nothing—nothing can rectify the ills of Ire land, without the establishment first of a sound provision for the poor Vottrp. TIE BRITISH COLONIES. • If there can exist any doubt as to the vital importance of our colonies, and of Canada in particular, as channels and ducts, which are necessarily pouring their ample supplies into the great reservoir and river-head of oar national trade and commerce, it will be removed, we think, by the simple perusal of the following statistical paper. We have extracted it from one of our daily pa pers, but we believe that it is copied, or rather that the in formation which it contains, is derived from that valua ble repository of political and commercial facts, " Mac. culloch's Trading Dictionary." Our colonial possessions, and their pecuniary and trading value, may be briefly enumerated as follows : In North America.—Canada, Upper and Lower, New Bruns wick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward's Isle, Cape Breton. and Newfoundland ; area, 4.35,0(X) square miles, or 279,400,000 acres, with a population of 1,500,000 white colonists. (Inde pendent of the foregoing, Hudson's Bay territories extend over 370,000 square miles.) In South America.—Demerara, Essequibo, Berbice, Hon duras, and the Falkland Isles; area, 165,000 square mil es , or 105,660,000 acres, with a population of 120,000. In the West Indies.—Jamaica, Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent, Barbadoes, St. Lucia, Dominica, Antigua, Mont serrat, Nevis, St. Kitt's, Anguilla, Tortolla, and the Virgin Isles, New Providence and the Bahama Isles, St. George's and the Bermuda Isles,- area, 13,000 square miles, or 7,720 ; 000 acres? population, 1,000,000. In Africa.—The Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, Mahe, and the Seychelles Islands, St. Helena, Ascension, Sierra Leone, the Gambia, Accra Cape Coast, &c., area, 250,000 square 'miles, or 160,000,000 acres; population, 350,000. . In Australia.—New South Wales, Tan Diemen's Land, Swan River, King George's Sound, South Australia. Norfolk Island, &c.; area, 500,000 square miles, or 320,000,000 acres; population, 120,000. In Asia.—Ceylon, area, 24,644 square miles, or 11,771,160 acres ; population, 1,900,00. In - EUrOpe.—Gibraltar, Malta, Gozo, Corfu, Cephalonia, Zante, Santa Maura, Ithaca, Paxo, Cerizo, &c., awl Heligo land; area, 1,500 square m il es, ] or 1 , 00 0,0 0 0 acres; popula tion, 400,000. Total under the Colonial Secretary.-1,750,000 square miles, equal to 1,120,000,000 acres; with a population of at least 5,u00,000 of British subjects, and daily increasing. The languages used in these different colonies embrace the English, Freud), Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Maltese, Cingalese, &c, The laws are more or less based on the customs of the different nations from whom these languages are derived, and from whom :re obtained the possessions. The religious .embracethe English, Episcopalian, Dutch, Lutheran, Roman Catholic; and Greek churches, with various shades of Pagan idolatry and forms of worship. The value of the maritime commerce of the above-mentioned possessions is in the aggregate £35,000,000 per annum, and the value of the property, public and private, moveable and im moveable, in lands, houses, roads, forts, canals, ships, trading stock, and horses, jaxer, sheep, &c., is £15000,000. Let us add to this the immense empire of India, pos sessed and governed by Great Britain, with its popula tion of one hundred millions, and with every character and species of soil and climate, and nothing more will be necessary to show the justice of Buonaparte's fre. quent exclamation,---that there was only one way of ef fectually subduing England, that of assailing her in her ships, her commerce, and her colonies. These, indeed, are the feeders of our national greatness, and let one or more of the principal of them be cut off by foreign, re bellion, or domestic faction or treason, and we shall soon become a dry and withered trunk; all that remains of us will soon follow the fate of the limbs which we have lost, and we shall become an example to future nations—that, in national, as well as in private affairs, courage is ge ,nerally the best part of prudence—and that none are ready to assist those who are indolently and ignomini ously wanting in their own self-defence.

The pit took offence at the miserable acting of a perf ormer , an d hissed him energetically ; whereupon, the manager b roug ht his company on the stage, and out-hissed the visitors.—Sunb ea m. Lord Eldon delighted in repeating the following anecdote so characteristic of his friend and master Geerge the Third: "1 called with my brother (Stowell) on the 4th of June, to pay my customary salutations, and was summoned into his presence; he was conversing with my oid friend Dr. Glasse, of Wanstead, but rose immediately we entered, and placing a chair on each side of his own, desired us to be seated lie then burst into a hearty laugh, and exclaimed—' Doctor, have you, in the course of your reading, ever before known of a king who-sat between two of his highest officers, who had each run away with his wife? Rather hard that, Eldon, eh, eh ?" ME LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS, INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON PiIYSIOLOGY. On Saturday Dr. Epps delivered his fuu►th lecture, to a nuineriius audience. The croup is a disease to which children are, particularly subject, and these generally the most promising and lovely. It is occasioned by the atmospheric air_ being prevented from obtaining access to the lungs, iii consequence of the accumula tion of coagulable lymph upon the internal membrane which lines the windpipe. The most effectual means of getting rid of this is by the administration of an emetic, whicti causes the expulsion of the lymph from the larynx. It very often happens that individuals die from the conse quences of excessive passion ; thus we have the common phrase of bursting with rage. Wben a woman is in a rage she holds her breath, and her fi..ce becomes red. Whilst she holds her breath, her heart still continues to perform its duty, and, as the lungs cannot do theirs, the blood rushes into her head, and the veins, particularly the jugular veins, become distended to so enormous an extent as to be terrific. The carotid arteries like wise become very large, and very often a person bursts with rage, in consequence of the rupture of some of the blood vessels. It is a well known fact that persons die of broken hearts. This is easily understood. The heart is composed of fleshy bags. By a long course of excitement through grief these bags are distended and rendered thin; thus whenever the individual receives a sudden shock, the influx of blood iuto these bags overcomes their strength, and the heart being ruptured, instant, death ensues. It is necessary that the air we breathe should be pure, otherwise the health of the person breathing it will be much injured. Owing to want of proper ventilation numbers of persons are annually cut off. It is a fact that in manufac turing districts, where there is an abundance of coal to be had at a cheap rate, the mortality is less than in those where there is a scarcity of coal. The cause-of this is, that a tire acts as a ventilator. There was a manufacturer at Leeds who was advised by Dr. Thackeray to make a revolving fan, which worked from the bottom to the top of the manufactory. The consequence was, that his workmen lost their haggard appearance, and were so much improved iu their appetites that they begged the ma nufacturer either to give them snore wages, so as to enable them to satisfy their increased appetites, or to do away with the fan. Ile could nut afford to give them higher wages, so he struck a bargain half way—he used his fan only three times a week. Every body knows how delightful it is to take - a walk into the cuuutrv, and how delicious are the meals which we take there. This arises in a great measure from the purity, or what is commonly called the freshness of the air, and our release from the cares of life. Persons who sponge their chests every morning with cold water, salt and water, or vinegar and water, will find their health increased by the practice, and they will seldom have occasion to call in the aid of a doctor. The process of digestion as it is called, is the process by which our food is converted into nutriment. Anything which we can convert into chyle, is nourishment. Thus some persons live upon sawdust and clay, and as these tbiiigs can be converted into chyle, the animal organs go on performing their duties. The processes of digestiou are very many. The first which we have to notice is that of mastication, (Sr what is commonly called chewing. Our lips are surrounded by several sets of, muscular fibres, by which we have the power of puckering them up. like ladies' garments. These muscles enable the lips to convey food into the mouth, where it is reduced to small parti cles by the teeth. The front teeth are fur the purpose of cutting the food, the four sharp side teeth called canine, for the purpose of tearing it, and the grinders for the purpose of chewing it. A blood vessel runs along each jaw, and sends off shoots to the fangs of the teeth. each fang receiving a separate vessel. Tooth ache is occasioned by the expansion of these blood vessels, so as to cause them to press upon the nerves of the teeth. The blood vessels are subject to this expansion if we take cold in the gums. The bone in which the teeth are fixed is of a spongy character, by which means the teeth are enabled to endure much greater shocks than they otherwise could, the bone yield. lug to the pressure. If we wish to preserve our health, we sh9uld take care our teeth. It is ouly when we lose them that we' know their I rue value. If persons would take the trouble to clean their teeth every morning their health and happiness would be much improved. The upper jaw is quite fixed, but the lower jaw is moveable on very slender joints, and is comparatively „easy of dislocation. This is the reason why nurses push the jaws of infants up wheu they gape. Many persons cannot eat without drinking ; this is both useless and injurious, because the saliva or spittle secreted by the glands in the cheeks is intended to mix with the food. When we talk, a quantity of Saliva enters the mouth, in consequence of these glands being pressed upon by the jaws in opening and shutting. Thus per. sons are enabled to talk for three or tour hours very comforta bly. When any thing good has been provided for our appetites we find a watering of the mouth, indeed the bare idea of some thing good is sufficient to cause it. Dreaming likewise produces this effect. Disease sometimes causes an overflow of the vessels containing the saliva. A butcher visited London some time since for the purpose of taking the lecturer's advice respecting a hole in his cheek, which passed through the tube conveying the saliva. Whenever this man passed a cook-shop the saliva trickled down his cheek out of the hole. It is a very curious fact that if a man chews his food well he is satisfied with half the quantity. The use of the tongue in mastication is to collect the food either for the purpose of further mastication, or preparatory to swallowing it. The tongue is intersected by a number of fibrous muscles, which enable it to make such rapid gyrations. Many persons swallow their food without mastica tion, but not without the previous remonstrance of the tongue, which always endeavours to do its duty. When food is masti cated sufficiently, the tongue lifts itself up, the little epiglottis falls down, and the food rolls into the gullet. When we take anything hot into the mouth we are frequently obliged to spit it out again, in consequence of the tongue being burned. The tongue is in this, as well as most other cases, an excellent indi cator of what is good for us ; and in all instances of acquired tastes, such as that fur ardent spirits, it always an the first place expresses its dislike. When mastication is finished, deglutition or swallowing commences. Persons in swallowing press the lower jaw against the upper one, and the windpipe is forcibly pulled forwards by a variety of muscles, so as to allow room for the gullet to su ell out. The gullet being expanded the morsel tumbles into it, and down it must go. M the back of the mouth there is a beautiful curtain hanging down, called an uvula, or little grape. Beside this are what 1, called the tonsils. This curtain is for the purpose of not letting the food come hack again. This curtain l►fts up to allow the passage of the food. Behind the curtain are the fauces, which are two passages from the nostrils to the back of the mouth. There is also a passage from the mouth to the ears, by which we hear sound; and Indian jug elers, by boring through the drums of the ears, are enabled to discharge simultaneously smoke through the nostrils and ears. PERPETUAL FIRE OF BAKU. The little promontory of Absheron on the Caspian Sea is one of the most singular regiona in the world. It is situated in Georgia, and was once considered a part of Asia; but since it has becoine a province of Russia, it has been reckoned as forming a portion of Europe. The surface of the promontory is barren, almost destitute of water, and utterly bare of trees. Its soil is seturated with naptha, a very inflammable bituminous oil, which, in some parts, rises to the surface of the earth spon taneously, and may be found by digging almost every where. In many places enormous quantities of gas, similar in nature to our coal or oil gas, issue in orifices in the earth; this gas the inhabitants employ to light their houses, by conducting it through tubes, similar in principle to our gas pipes, though more clumsy in construction. They use it also as fuel to dress their food, to warm their dwellings, and for many other pur poses. The centre of action of this fiery matter is near the town of Baku, the chief place of the territory. The ancient Persians were worshippers of fire ; they adored the sun as its source, and in his absence they kept u p perpetual flies as his representative. The advance of the Mohammedan religion extinguished, in a great measure the faith of the fire worshippers ; but some remains of the ancient believers are still found scattered in Persia, and many of their body have been long settled in India, particularly at - Bombay, where they con stitute a very respectable and influential portion of the popu lation. The perpetual fire of Baku would naturally be an object of attraction to these people; and we accordingly find that they have, from a remote period, had an establishment there. They-have enclosed with a high wall a spot of ground, from which a vast quantity of gas issues, which they always keep burning. This place has been described by several travel lers, the most recent of whom, a Russian, whose journal was published in 1833, arrived on the spot by night. "We saw the flame," he says "at a considerable distance before our arrival. It was a singular spectacle; four principle jets of flame were first visible, and as we got nearer, a consid e rable number of smaller ones began to sow themselves springing from the ground. The four jets rose to a great height, and illuminated all the surrounding country, which is barren and desert. At last we saw a high wall of white stone, above which rose four great tubes like chimneys; from these tubes issued the columns of flame we had first seen. We thought ourselves in the neigh bourhood of a palace of fairies." Nothing is known of the state of this place in very remote times; but it is described by the Arabian author, Massudi, who wrote 900 years ago. He speaks of a mine of white naptha at Baku, from which a column of flame rises to a great height, visible on every side at a distance of 100 farsangs. As one farsang on the lowest computation, must be much more than a mile, and pro bably three or four, the oriental style of exaggeration is evident in this estimate, as it is in what follows, unless the state of things bereatly altered; "It makes a noise like thunder, and throws up inflamed masses of rock beyond the reach of sight." We are not aware of any European writer who mentioned this place earlier than the Russian traveller, Alexander Nikitin, who saw it on his way to India in 1470; and he mere:y says that be saw at Baku the tire which burns eternally. The fire-worshippers at Baku generally reside at that un healthy spot a longer or shorter time, according to the fervour of their faith. The shortest residence is five years; many stay there eight; and very few, who are considered in the light of saints, remain there until death. As the Russian writer calls them Hindus, they are probably all from India. They live solely on vegetables, cultivated by their own hands; and each man dresses and eats his food alone in his cell. Their mainten ance is derived chiefly from the charity of their fellow-wcrship pers, one of whom, named Otumd, now residing at Astrakhan, furnishes the greatest portion. The owners of vessels navigating the Caspian Sea also frequently send them considerable presents, as a sort of payment for the benefit received from the fire main tained in the four lofty chimneys before mentioned, which cons stitutes an excellent lighthouse. Our traveller describes the appearance of the interior of the enclosure as very imposing. "We were struck with astonish ment," he says, "et the sight before us. We found ourselves in a vast square perfectly light, and in the midst we saw a building, from which issued four large and lofty tubes vomiting flame. The cells of the Hindus are placed all round the walls. * • • The Hindus, with no other covering than a girdle and a turban, came not of their cells. The dark colour of their skin, their loose hair (for, as many of them had no turban, it hung at full length in disorder), and the leanness of their bodies, which showed nothing but. bones, produced on us very singular seosatinns. The first who accosted ns introduced us into his cell: the only furniture was a miserable carpet and two pitchers; but a beautiful rose-bush stood outside the door. • * * The cells were mostly small; flames were spouting out in nearly all of them, either directly from holes in the floor, or from clay tubes driven into the ground, which answer the purpose of candles." In the midst of the enclosure is the place where these people burn their dead. It is a cave dug in the earth, about six feet square and three deep, and is covered with broad flat stones. ' This vault, like every other opening made in the ground, is al ways filled with gas. When a fire-worshippee dies, the survi vors smear his body with butter, and place it over the vault : they then set lire to the gas, which comes through the interstices between the stones, and the body is thus consumed. They afterwards _carefully gather up all the ashes which have fallen through into the vault, and throw them to the winds. Thus ends the ceremony. The gas is evidently of a similar nature to what we use, though, as it is sail! to be without smell, and to have no effect on the breath, it is probably purer than that which our establishments produce. Its flame is of a yellowish white, and very brilliant. This shows that it cannot be pure hydrogen, which burns with a faint blue flame. -'The heat it gives out in burning. is very great. sufficient to calcine lime ; andiit is largely used for this purpose by the people of the country. When mixed with co►a mon air, it becomes explosive. )polio. AFRICA. Ilindostan, (364) C Jackson, from Africa, with 731 eke palm oil, 4 elopliaots' teeth, qty B goods retd.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts in our market this morning was limited, and the weather favourable to slaughtering, the demand even for the primest Beef was throughout the day heavy, owing to the buyers otlerimi mach lower terms than the salesmen were willing to submit to. With Sheep we were tolerably well supplied, both as to number and quality, but the demand for them was exceedingly heavy, at a depression of from 2d to 4d per filbs. The supply of Calves, though very limited, was more than adequate to the demand, a decline of 2d per 81bs. having taken place. /if arratto. LIVMRPOO[. .00'1"110N 4 'M . ARKET, FEn. 15.

On WEdnesday, Thursday and Friday last we had a fine thaw, but it did not continue long enough to relieve the canals, and since Satur day morning we had a recurrence of frost with increased severity ; in consequence of which, and of accumulating arrivals of Uran, Flour and Oatmeal by the steamers, and by partial changes of wind, we have experienced very dull sales since this day week, although a small de cline was submitted to on every article in the Corn trade here, and in all our principal country markets. There is no alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign Ports this week, and very little has been done in bonded Grain or Flour :—fur the latter article of fresh sweet quality from Ilamburgh, &c. being quite scarce, an advance of is to 2s per barrel is now demanded.. The supplies to this day's market have been considerably increased by arrivals within the last two days, but most of the importers having shown no disposition to press sales from the vessels, and the stocks of the millers and dealers being pretty well ex hausted, sales to a moderate extent were made of the finer qualities of Wheat at fully last Tuesday's quotations, though ordinary qualities miAt have been bought at a decline of Id to 2d per 701b.—Flour was about Is per 2180Ib and Oatmeal 6d per 2401bs lower.—Oats very dull at about -4.-d per 451 b decline, and all other articles remain at about last rotations.—The frost still continues with unabated severity, notations.—The 701 b a. d. s. rt.!
