What but that old time was there, Was there in some malienant freak ! But does this truth, the ruin tells, Whisper not another too As sad, as painful, and as true? It does—yes strongly it compels My soul to feel that time will do With me, with you, with all that breathe; A havoc equal in' our death, When pain, disease, and suffering meet Allied to wreck, to cruciate and heat Our " earthly house" to dust beneath our feet ! The Oddfellows have erected a grand edifice at San Francisco, for the accommodation of the order. The Australian wines have at length found their way into the Calcutta markets, and are selling there for 323. a dozen. The rise of the Nile this year is reported to be below the average, and it is feared that next year's crops will suffer from it. NEW SAINTS.—Two decrees of the Congregation of Rites permit proceedings to be taken for the beatification of Maria Anna do Paredes, and to the discussion on the existence of three miracles attributed to Sister Angela Maria Astorch. THE DOMINICANS IN FRANCE.—The establishment of the Dominicans in France has been canonically recognised by the Pope. Father Lacordaire, hitherto Superior of the Dominican mission in France, has been appointed Provin cial of the Order. ANOTHER AMERICAN WONDER.—Our New York cor respondent informs us that the " ninth wonder of the world has been discovered in Wisconsin. It is a cave ex tending under the greater portion of two counties. One field of lead ore was found three miles in extent! A water-fall is in the cave, and a lake thirty-seven feet deep. A party lately passed three days in making explorations. _ _ MYSTERIOUS Monitev; states that the French Consul at Palma has written to the minister of marine at Paris, to say that a ship, 200 tons burthen, had been found abandoned on the coast by some peasants of Pormentara, and-taken into the port of Ivica. It was in good state, completely rigged, and had its anchor and even boats ; but the only living things discovered on board were a fowl and a cat. There were no provisions, no papers, except a certificate of health given at Leghorn in Ise to a man named Elvira. The only thing which could give any clue to the nationality of the ship were that. a strip of a Tuscan flag was found on board, and that the build of the vessel appeared to be Austrian, Sardinian, or Tuscan. It was supposed that the ship came from Algiers. It bore every appearance of having been very recently abandoned. _ _ _ _ _ _ CALIFORNIAN GOLD.—We can safely say that the ship ment of gold from this country, during the month of Au gust, exceeds that of any other month since the discovery of the mines. The amount is almost incredibly large, verging an three millions of dollars. This sum has been regularly manifested, and is exclusive of the parcels car ried through by private hands. The following exhibits the amount by each steamer :—August 15, per Carolina, 150,000 dollars:; ,per Columbus, 350,000 dollars. Aug. 31, per Oregon, 1,500,000 dollars ; per Northerner, 339,124 dollars. Total, 2,089.124 dollars. The Oregon and Republic leave to-day for Panama. The former takes - 530 passengers and 1,500.000 dlrs in gold dust; the latter 150 passengers and 400,000 dirs. in dust.—Alta Californian. —One man, at one haul, had taken out a forty pound luny of pure gold, on the Yuba, about fourteen miles from garysville. On the Trinity, Shaste, and Klamath rivers, thousands are at work, with extraordinary success, and new diggings were almost daily opening. THE ,A,MiTRALLAN COLONIES —The new law for the better govsernment her Majesty's Australian colonies (13 and 14 Victoria, cap. 59) will shortly be procleimed by the governors in the respective colonies. These colonies have greatly increased in population and commerce. In popu lation (omitting New Zealand) the inereaee in ten years was 168,088. The population, according to the last return, was 333,764. The imports and exports have greatly increased. The new act confers the elective franchise on a number of inhabitants who had not previously possessed the privi lege. Port Philip is to form a separate colcny, and to be called in honour of her Majesty, " Victoria," for which a separate Legislative Council will be elected. Electoral districts are to be established in New South Wales, where freeholders, householders, to £lO a-year, and landowners, may vote in the election of members of the Legislative Council. A registration of voters will take place. Legisla ti ve Councils may now be established in Van Dieman s Land and South Australia, as also in Western Australia. Ne, - y laws will be made for the government of the several colonies, and taxes levied for certain civil and judicial service.', not omitting consider able sums for public worship. advantages of cleanliness and order. Such is the general character of the London streets and squares. The well-painted railings and polished bell-handles, the broad and clean pavements, all show the minute and un ceasing attention paid by the population to those things which are supposed to conduce to comfort, or to the equally important object of respectability. With nations, as with individuals, character is most easily detected in trifles. From the aspect of the London streets a careful [es and deficiencies of the people.--111077itny Co'rrox IN JAMAICA.—The company recently formed in Kingston, through the instrumentality of Mr. William Wright, for the purpose of testing the capabilities of the island to produce cotton remuneratively, had increased its capital, by small shares, to £l,OOO. The suggestion was made that the amount should be applied to the cultivation of small properties in different localities, in order to give the subject a fair trial, but it was ultimately resolved to embark the whole capital in one property. Pembroke-hall estate, in the parish of St. Andrew, adjacent to Kingston, has been leased for the purpose. The lease, we believe, has been taken for three years, terminable at the option of the association at the end of the first or second year, three months' notice being given. Various subscribers to the scheme having objected to a copartnership, feat ful of their being involved in liabilities beyond the amcunt of their subscriptions, trustees have been appointed to transact the whole business in their own names, and to account to the subscribers at stated periods. Inde pendently of this joint movement, several other expe riments of a private nature were being made, and doubt existed, indeed no doubt at all, as to the capa bility of the country to produce this important staple. It was, however, pretty generally admitted, that to render the experiment universally beneficial, an influx of African emigrants into the colony would he necessary. The anti. emigration organs were, of course, opposed to further emigration, but by persons competent to judge it was, nevertheless, said to be absolutely necessary. A MUSICAL GENIUS. — We read in the National de I'Ouest:—" Some years ago a young peasant girl, about 21 years of age, with an intelligent look and a modest yet re solute bearing, went to the Grand Vicar of a diocese and told him, that having heard speak of his kindness for young women. who destined themselves to teaching, she begged of him to interest himself for her. But, my child,' said he, ' to have the right to teach you must ob tain a diploma, and for that must submit to examination. Have you received the necessary instruction ?" In my infancy I learned to read and write, then I went as an apprentice to a dressmaker, and at present I work at that business, going from farm to farm, for 6 sous a day. But my needle does not get me food enough, for I lose time in thinking how I shall become a governess.' My poor child,' said the Grand Vicar, • it is something to read and write, but not enough ; you must know French, spel ling, geography, history, a little more than the four rules of arithmetic, and, finally, be capable of writing a compo sition.' I believe, Monsieur le Grand Vicar, that I should pass tolerably through those proofs, for, on my return home from my work, I have for some time past spent part of my nights, and great part of my Sundays, in studying books which I bought with my savings. But I beg of you, sir, to be kind enough to examine me ; you shall be my judge, and you will tell me frankly if I can hope to obtain the brevet of the superior degree.' 'Of the superior degree ! Good God ! do not think of it ! That is a very different thing ! To deliver this brevet, the examining committee is mach more severe. You must answer in all parts of arithmetic, know a little geo metry, vocal music, and even play on an instrument. I fancy that you have learnt neither the piano nor harp ?' ' No ! but does the law, Monsieur I'Abbe, absolutely re quire the piano or harp ?" No ! the law says that the candidate must know sufficient music to play on an in strument. Those which I designated are ordinarily the instruments which are studied by young persons in the schools. That is why I spoke to you of them. I think, howeTer, that the examiners might be satisfied if you knew the guitar.' All ! well. Monsieur l'Abbe, since the law requires the candidate to know music, without designating the instrument, I am satisfied, for I have learned, without masters, to play on an instrument.' At d she pulled out a flageolet. The Grand Vicar burst out laughing. The girl blushed a good deal ; but, fancying that the venerable ecclesiastic only laughed because he thought she must play ill, she performed an air with such skill as to astonish her hearer. This gentleman, who had himself risen from the ranks of the people, thought that a girl of the people who had, unassisted, learnt to play so well, could not be an ordinary girl. He had the complaisance to examine her, and was stupid on seeing what a rare degree of instruction the poor country dress maker had obtained by her own efforts alone. He de clared without hesitation that she might in full confidence present herself at the examinations.

WHAT THE JEWS, IN PALESTINE, THINK OFENGLAND. —Divers topics were discussed during the feast, amongst which was one to the following Effect :—" What nation is to be the honoured instrument of leading the children of Israel from the various places of their captivity to their promised land ?" After Turkey, Russia, Prussia, and Austria were rejected as unworthy of the honour, the merits of the English nation were discussed. My brethren were already in high spirits—in a double sense, but in full possession of their senses—they felt independent, and began to speak out their mind in a very free manner. They execrated all other nations, in the most unqualified terms, but lavished unbounded adulation upon Britain. When I saw them in that mood, I told them all the good things England has of late done for the house of Israel. They roared out blessings upon England and upon the English Queen. I gave them a Hebrew translation of our National Anthem, which the whole assembly sang out—thouth in a most discordant manner, to an original air, yet with heart and soul—" God save Queen Victoria!" —A Pilgrimage to the Land of my Fathers. STORY OF A LONDON HACKNEY COACHMAN.—When I was seventeen I had a hackney coach and horses of my own, provided by my father, and so was started in the world. The first time I plied with my own coach was when Sir Francis Burdett was sent to the tower. Sir e Francis was all the go then. Ah, the old times was the racketty times ! I've often laughed and said that I could say what perhaps nobody, or almost nobody in England, can say now, that I'd been driven by a king. He grew to be a king afterwards, George IV. One night, you see, sir, I was called off the stand, and told to take up at the British Coffee-house, in Cockspnr-street. I was a lad then, and when I pulled up at the door, the waiter ran out and said, "You jump down, and get inside; the Prince is a-going to drive hisself." I didn't much like the no tion on it, but just as I was getting down, and had my foot on the wheel, out came the Prince of Wales, and four or five rattle-brained fellows like himself. I had hardly time to see them, for the Prince gripped me by the ancle ar.d the waistband of my breeches, lifted me off the wheel, and flung me sight into the coach, through the window, and it was open as happened luckily. I was little then; but he must have been a strong man. He didn't seem so very drunk either. The Prince wasn't such a bad driver. Indeed, he drove very well for a prince, but he didn't take the corners or the crossings careful enough for a regularJarvey. Well, sir, the Prince drove that night to a house in King-street, St. James's. There was another gentleman on the box with him. It was a gaming house he went to. A wet Opera night was the chance for us, when Madame Catalani was performing. Many a time I've heard it sung out, " A guinea to Port man-square,", and l've had it myself. At the time I'm speaking of, hackney coachmen took 30s. a day -all the year round. Why, I myself have taken £l6 and £lB a week through May, June, and July. But then you see, sir, we had a monopoly. Our number was limited to 1200. We drove always noblemen or gentlemen's ord carriages—" family coaches" they was sometimes called. There was mostly arms and coronets on them. We got them of the coachmakers. in Longacre, who took the noblemen's old carriages when they made new. The Duke of complained once, that his old carriage, with his arms painted beautiful on the panels, was plying in the streets at is. a mile—his arms ought not to be de graded that way, he said—so the coachmaker had the coach new painted. When the cabs first came in, we didn't think much about it ; we thought—that is, the most of us did—that things was to go en in the old way for ever ; but it was found out in time—that it was. When the clarences, the cabs that carry four, came in, they cooked the hackney coaches in no time.—Morning I Chronicle. UNDER. THE ROSE.—We find the three following deri vations for this phrase :-1. The expression " under the rose" took its origin, says Jenoway, from the wars be tween the Houses of York and Lancaster. The parties respectively swore by the red or the white rose, and these opposite emblems were displayed as the signs of two taverns ; one of which was by the side of, and the other opposite to, the Parliament-house, in Old Palace Yard, Westminster. Here the retainers and servants of the noblemen attached to the Duke of York and Henry VI used to meet. Here, also, as disturbances were frequent, measures either of defence or annoyance were taken, and every transaction was said to be done " under the rose;" by which expression the most profound secrecy was int. plied. 2. According to others this term originated in the fable of Cupid giving the rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence, as a bribe to prevent him betraying the amours of Venus, and was hence adopted as the , emblem of of silence. The rose was for this reason frequently sculp tured on the ceilings oldrinking and feasting rooms, as a warning to the guests that what was said in moments of conviviality should not be repeated ; from which, what was intended to be kept secret was said to beheld " under the rose." 3. Roses were consecrated as presents from the Pope. In 1526' they were placed over the gaols of confessionals os the symbols of secresy. pence the origin of the phrase " under the rose." its 'pages bearing any affinity to idolatry, they could not find anything directing the worship of the virgin or of What tlicy found and Jesus Christ; who is God ; t ey no longer said all ted ians were idolaters when with this knowledge Tile rev. gentleman cor his hearers on the earnestnc displayed in the present day 1 , so numerous were originate Christian men, invited to co-operate in their behalf, were wont to hesitate how to act. Now he would show that there were several reasons why ho should be a member of the London Society : first, be placed it on the ground of duty; he considered it his duty as a Christian, for to whom were they indebted for the Holy Volume. With the exception of the book of Job, and some other portions of the Bible the Jews were the people from whom it had descended. (Hear, hear.) If th able than any earthly gain, was it not his duty to b crateful to the people to whom he stood so ift were more debted. There ivas - another reason why he felt it to be his duty to be a member of the Society, he thought it was his duty as an Englishman, for he considered that Protest. antism was the characteristic of an Englishman, and he looked upon the Society as one strong link of the ( Hear.) He referred Stuarts. England She descended common bond of Protestantism his audience back to the time of th. then sank into a second-rate nation lower and lower, until she was despise decline was her truckling to Popery, which had eaten into the very vitals of England. But the threatened ruin was averted by Cromwell, who was the very incarnation of Protestantism. Cardinal Richelieu, who was at the bottom of all the plots against England, grew pale at the mention of the name of ; and "even the Pope ceased his persecution of Protestants at his command. He was told if he did not comply, the British cannon would be heard roaring at the Vatican. The rev. gentle man concluded by making a warm appeal in favour of the Jewish people. The Rev. A. M. I!YERS, a converted Jew, next ad dressed the meeting. He commenced by regretting his inability to address so large a meeting as that which was before him ; but he claimed the forbearance of the meet ing not upon his own account, but upon account of the cause which he advocated. He had made every en quiry since he came to Liverpool, and in doing so, he found that there were two opinions prevalent even in Liverpool. Many persons held that it was impossible to convert the Jews, and as a sequitur that all efforts of the society would be ineffectual. Others held the converse. But for himself he preferred the more charitable view— that of the Lord Jesus Christ—who inculcated upon all men the necessity of converting both Jew and Gentile, and he would leave it to those who took a different view to chew whether the Jews should not be converted. It was a Jew who first stood forth to prove the title of the Gentiles, and therefore he would call upon the gentlemen to come forward and advocate the cause of the Jew. In reference to the objection that the efforts of the society were nil, he would ask them if they would hold opinions in opposition to the Apostle Paul. He was sure none of them would differ from him. Many asked, "What had the society done ?" He would answer by saying, that he might point to many many details, to the many converts who had been made; but he would prefer to answer the question by aking a short review of the state of the Jewish people during the past century. He would ask any impartial historian what was the feel ing of the Jewish people fifty years ago ? Could they then find a stogie Jew who knew anything of the Gospel or of Christ, except what they had learned to hate ? They were as ignorant fifty years ago as they were 1800 years ago. But what was the •fact now ? He had not given the answer, but he would state this that it that it was a curious fact, and a still more curious coinci dence, that immediately after the establishment of the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel amongst the Jews, larger, more liberal, more Christian views were en tertained by that people. (Hear, hear.) What was the case now ? Why, they had thousands of Christian Jews, and Jewish Christian ministers. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) He. as a Jew, would say, that Christ, the Great God of Heaven, became the victim of a fanaticism—of a fanaticism similar to that in some degree whi h wreaked its vengeance upon the heads of the early Reformers. (" Hear, hear." and cheers.) Som e J ews cons id ere d th e Redeemer an impostor. That he denied; for impostors generally—indeed in all cases—impostors courted tempo ral power, but Christ only looked to the happiness tem poral and eternal of all mankind. (hear, hear.) His maxims were kind, benevolent, and moral. His censures keen, cutting, and severe. (Hear, hear.) Instead of courting the countenance of the great, he quietly in the evening, sought the shades of obscurity, and there taught those great maxims of greatness which in their force and operation applied to 150,000,000 million peo ple, autl which would trample over idolatry and supersti tion, and in the end would bring this people to everlast ing glory.

He contended that the men who were to go on the Jewish mission should be well qualified not only to teach the Gospel, but to wrestle with the unbelief of the Israelites. That people would ask, it all the prophecies were fulfilled, why was not the city restored to Israel ? Would he tell them that it was fulfilled, that Christians were of the city, and that they were not? (Hear, hear.) He would again ask, if they were not fulfilled, that Messiah had not yet came ? How was the missionary to answer this ? lie could not tell them that, in the fulfilment of all these prophecies, the curses had fallen to the Jews and the blessings to the Christians. But the missionary ought to tell them at once, that one class of prophecies had been fulfilled, and that the other had not been fulfilled. (Hear, hear.) Ile would have to tell hi m " every t hi ng i n i ts time ; and there was a time for every thing." The Jew would ask, were they to come to a Messiah who had done but half of what was prophecicd ? L e t th em remem b er th a t, as the Disciples were told, when He ascended to Heaven, He would "come again in like manner as they had seen Him. go !" Now he would say to the Jew, come with us ; be lieve with us in what has been done, and we will hope with you for what is to be done—(" hear, hear," and cheers)—for His is the only name by which human beings upon earth can be saved. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) As truly as he was born of a virgin of the house of David, He would come, and would reign on the throne of the twelve tribes of David. (Hear, hear.) The Rev.
