Li 4 C. POETRY. THE WRECK OF THE MIDGE. (For the Liverpool Standard ) A Mr. Wocel. understood, Went on a wind day. To take a steer on Windermere, And pass his time away. Those sailors who for pleasure go, And take s , , much Their skill to try when winds are high, Should s e that 41 is right. If a miata e r.ey chance to make, And -ails upset the boat, For trips so gay their lives must pay, ale•s like Wood they fir at. The day we name the tempest came, Each swelling wave ran high; But Mr. Wood, with courage good, Did swelling waves de*y. The wind it blew, the Midge she flew, Each wave broke on her deck, Till at the la t a sudden blast Made her a total wreck. The boat she sank, aid every plank Deserted Mr. Wood, And !eft him there, upon the M re*, To shirt as be,t he could. And strange to tell, he ' , hilted well, For he tyok in each hand An oar strong and he swam along In hopes to reach the land. With spirit bold he kept his hold Amidst his watery way ; Be had no tear but he mule steer, And land about the Wrayt. But glad am I he'd not to try His s , ill upon the raft, -For such a day said length of way Requi , ed a tatter craft. While hope and fear around the Mere Fli'd many a breast with awe, A gallant boat which was afloat Did to his succour draw. The surge ran high. the low'ring sky Seemed on destruetion'bent, Yet without fear the crew drew near And a willing hand they le t. He to-k Ins le - ve. nor did he grieve, Nor hat nor wig deplore; He left his raft Ira. a bet e, craft, And he lauded safe on shore. Anableside.

Painter, 342, Strand. We took up the little volume before us with an expec tation, induced by its title, that the story and incidents would be d rected to illustrate this fine old relic of the Monastic ages, and to paint the splendid scenery by which it is surrounded. In this, however, we were disappointed, the incidents having no relation to Mount Grace, except that the first canto narrates the death of its founder, the Earl of Furrey, and that the remainder assume the form of " lays," recited, by a minstrel who has taken refuge there, for the edification of the worthy priors assembled within its walls. Canto second is devoted to a narrative of the life of the minstrel himself, with a description of part of the magnificent scenery bordering the east coast of Yorkshire from Whitby to the Teesmouth. The re maining four cantos centain some stirring details of the wars of Edward the Fourth, concluding with a descrip tion of the Battle of Crecy, and the subsequent marriage of his noble son, Edward the Black Prince. The versification and form of the work are after the manner of Sir Waiter Scott; and although its reverend author never appreaches closely the excellence of the model which he has chosen, he has succeeded in pi odu dng several fine descriptive and other passages, which, if not highly poeti al, are marked by great chasteness of feeling and perceptio n o f th e beautiful. Some of the sacred melodies, with which the first and second cantos are interspersed, are elrgantly and forcibly written. As a whole, indeed, " Mour.t Grace Abbey " is a creditable production, although ixe rether question whether its reve rend author, in producing it, has selected the line best suited for the display--or most likely to conduce to the usefulness—of his evident talents, and particularly of that research in historical and theological subjects which ap pears in the notes to this volume. The Chimes: a Goblin Story. By Charles Dickens. London : Chapman and Hall. " Another Christmas Carol ! " was the involuntary exclamation of all the reading world, Young and old, grave and gay, on perusing the announcement of this little volume ; and puzzled and curious were all to learn what could he the story of " some bells that rang an old year out and a new year in." By this time tens of thou sands—literally tens of thousands—have gratified their Curiosity. We have our,elves read it twice, for a reason which we shall presently inform our readers, who must not, by the bye, suppose that we are here about to present to them the book itse 1, as some critical people are in the habit of doing when a popular author is in the case, but merely to express our opinion of its artistic merits. • We have read the work twice over, then, because a first perusal impressed us with the idea that it was not quite equal to Mr. Dickens' former productions, and was espe cially inferior to his " Christmas Carol." Not that we failed to observe, in some of the characters delineated, the fine hand of the painter of Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit, Tom Pinch and the sweet little Ruth. Trott) , Yeck is a thorough Boz, an undoubted original. We have met with coarse specimens of the character in actual life again and again; but Trotty is its spiritualization —a concentration of the excellencies of the entire genus, di vested of that portion of it which is, in an offensive de gree, "of the earth, earthy." Meg Veck, his daughter, is such a creation as the genius of Dickens only has suc ceeded in pourtraying ; and Richard and poor Lilies are equally fine specimens of his pencil. But with some of the other and repulsive characters we were not satisfied, nor were we with the framework of the story. Mr. Dickens' bells, though sweet, we thought were " jangled out of tune"; and we set about another perusal to satisfy ourselves. That second perusal, we must say, has not satisfied us, although, like a second and a third perusal of every book of this writer, it has disclosed to us a hundred beauties unnoticed in the first—a hundred fine tints and shades of colouring—a hundred scintillations of creative genius —a hundred finely-drawn traits of character, which, like the paintings of a Landseer or a Wilkie., only shew their dis tinctive and minute beauties atter we base mastered the effect of the whsle, and are scrutinising the execution of the parts. Thus, in the somewhat repulsive character of Will Ferns, the discontented, threatening labourer, arid at last the inc-ndiary, we are brcuuht to recognise an under-stratum of noble humanity which prompts him to undertake, with his straitened means arid almost hopeless prospects, the care of his broth-r's orphan child—the germs of a nature made for better things; and are com pelled to acknowledge and deplore that vicious system of treatment of the class to which be belongs, which drags down so large aportion of it to a felon's practice and a felon's doom. Lillian the beautiful, whose fall we have too hastily set down to the imt ulse of womanly vanity and weakness, becomes more worthy of our sympathy and pity, when we reflect upon the disproportion of the burthens which st e had to bear to the strength of the nature which had to bear them. Perhaps, te:), the pic ture held out to us may teach us to visit less uncharitably the errors of her sex. St►ll, however, a few of the other characters introduced remain, what they were perhaps intended for, caricatures. As a whole, we cannot yet think these " Chimes" equal to the average of Mr. Dickens' writings. There is, how ever, a fine healthy rein of morality and genuine philan thropy running through them, and a genuine English reprobation of the heartless quackeries of Malthusianism, as well as of the more esti►rable, so far as motive and feeling are concerned, although ill-directed projects of that new party amongst us which would give the agricul tural labourer a cricket ball or a May-pole when his fa mily wants a loaf, and the artizan the k►to.vledge of the Athenaeum er the Mechanics' Institute when his more urgent need is a knowledge of his own nature and of his God. Monastic Institutions ; their Origin, Progress, Nature, and Tendency. By Samoa Philips Day, lately con nected with the lklontistery of the Presentation Order at Youghal. Dublin : Curry and Co. ;. London : Longman and Co. 18-14. The uriter of this book is a young man, who has seen the errors or Popery, and has become acquainted with a better way. His " local habitation" while in the service of Home was at Youglul, where, our rcadt•rs may remem ber, a bungling attempt at miraculous power was made some time ,ago in a monastery. Oil that occasion the editor of an English paper, conducted by Boman Catho lics, and faiourahle to Romanism, was obliged, after a personal examination of the whole m , tter, to retire with horror and di gust. In this town Mr. Day was located as a member of a monastic body. That he had opportu nities of knowing someling of the system, cannot be denied ; for h's intimate connexion with the daily working of the whole process of monastic duties would at once give the lie to such a denial. In order to he of some ser vice to the good cause a hich is now the child of his adop. tion, he gives his undivided attention to the consideration of the monastic orders from their earn, st period down to the present day ; and he publishes the result of hislabonrs in a condensed form, not omitting to put on record hi s own experience, and to introduce us into the penetralia of modern monachism. We take for granted that his evidence is worthy of respect, as the reverend gentleman who has kindly written a preface to she work, states that " " he bears an u n sullied character. Ile furth er says— The impression left upon my mind is, that he is per fectly conversant with the subject ne has taken in hand, and that he has seceded •from the ranks of the Apostacy with a character even above suspicion." We are not to SE pect a Ltboured history of "religious houses" in a work a5.,..,0p0n so limited a scale ; but it would appear that it con - %Ins information sufficient to let us into the secrets of • • • 4 •= , t'' 'a#.l .1.4, • • ON THE RECO'ZCILIATION OF MR. WOOLLEY MISs BRYARS. monachism, and to give us a " shorthand" view of its origin, progress, nature, and tendency!' Tile very fact that be himself was, for a long period, a part and parcel of much that he relates, gives an interest to this little volume not to be expected in a production written by a person educated in an opposite creed. We have read it under this impression, and examined it with correspond ing attention. We trust thit i , may tall into the hands of many Protestants, who are either ignorant of the sys-: tem it denounces, or unwilling to allow that Popery, under its different phases, is so bad as it is represented. Study ing this as a kind of elementary work, they may he led to drink deeper. and to study more attentively, the history of papal doctrines and papal ambition, until at last the nakedness of the land will appear, and the true character of Rornanism, now so ra , npant and aspiring, w 11 become developed. We might give scnie interesting extracts, characteristic of the unscriptural and antiscriptural dog mas of monachism, but our limits will not permit us. The work itself is worthy of a perusal, and we hope that it will be favourably received by all, who, on the one hand, love the truth, and tire valiant for the trirli ; and, on the other hand, are anxious to see a fair exposure of a system, which labours incessantly to neutralize tI e re vealed word of God, and to substitute in its place the doctrines and commandments of fallible man. SELECTIONS. THE QUADRILLE-FOR NAUTICAL MEN. The following excellent directions to nautical dancers, which originally appeared in the Bombay aurier, may be useful to a portion of our readers at this festive season. Le Pautalon.—Haul upon the starboard tack, let the other craft pass, then bear up, and get your head on the other tack, regain your berth on the larboard tack, ba and fill with your partner, box-haul her, wearround twice against the sun, in company with the opposite craft and your own, afterwards box-haul her again and bring up. L'Ete. 7 --Shoot a-head about two fathoms till you nearly come st-rn on to the other craft under weio, then make a stern hoard to your berth. side out for a bend, first to starboard and then to-port, make sail and pass the other craft, get your head round ott the other tack, another side to starboard, and port, make sail to regain your berth, wear round, back and till and box-haul your partner. La Poule.—Heave a-head and pass your adversary, yard-arm and yard-arm, re_ain your berth cn the other tack in the same order, take your station in the line, wits your partner, back and fill, fall on your heel; and bring up with your partner; she then manoeuvres a-head, heaves all a-back ; shoots a-head again, and pays off alongside ; you then make sail in con:pai:y with her, till nearly stern with the other line, make a stern-board, and cast her off to shift for herself, regain your berth by the best means in your power and lee go your anchor. Le Trenive.—Wear round as before against the sun twice, box-haul the lady, range up alongside her and make sail in cotnpany, when half-way across to the other shore drop stern with the tide, shoot and east off the tow; now back and fill as before, and box-haul her and yourself into your berth and bring up. La Pastorale. —Shoot a-head alongside your partner make a stern board, make all sail over the other coast, let go the hawser and pay off into your birth and take a turn the three crifts opposite range up a- bretr-t towards vou twice and hack stern again ; now manoeuvre any rig you like, only under easy sail, as it is always light wind (ze phyrs as they call it) in this passage; ar soon as you see their helms down, haul round in company with them on the larboard tack, and make all sail with your partnerinto your own berth and bring up. La Finale.—Wear round to starboard passing ander your partner's stern-sight, the eatheads of the craft on your starboard bow, then make sail into your berth, your partner passing athwart your bows ; now proceed accord ing to the second order of sailing; to complete the evolu tions shoot a-head and hack astern twice in company with the whole squadron in circular order of sailing. THE MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE.—Some Dalian rhyme compares life to a wheel, which always goes round silently when it goes well. It is so with a wife. The men who live happily with their wives, and love them as they ought to do, never mention their names : never, at all events, if they do say a word or two, make them the he roes of a long story. Ergo, when a man begins to talk about his wife, she beeins to be his grievance. Should such be his theme, then, when he meets you in the open unbarticaded streets of London, should the man with a grievance only start the most distant suspicion of his de sign to allude to his wife—sham a spasm ; invent an ap pointment at Buckingham palace ; vow that it is pouring with rain and hear no hing to the contrary; remember that your grandfather, who died in 1807, was suddenly taken alarmingly ill ;—but he off ! Go, no matter which way ; fly, al you would from the edge of a jungle where you espied the eves of a famished tigress glaring through the greet and yellow duskiness. But that is a poor, tame image. Stand not then upon the order of your going, but go at once, as if Lady Maeheth were holding the two daggers at your throat ! If that wculd not move you, you deserve to hear the whole story of a man with a griev ance, when his soul aches to impress you with the inex pressible wickedness of his wife. Yet humanity, though deeply sinful, can rarely deserve this extreme misery.— Ainsworth's Magazine. THE SURPLICE QUESTION.—I cannot dismiss this article without giving you another remarkable instance that falls within the subject of the present cation, and is also of peculiar consideration to us of this diocese, in which alone it is to be met with. It is the constant use of the surplice by all preachers in the pulpit. And it is said to have taken rite from an opinion of Bishop Cosine, that as surplices were to be worn at all limes of the mi nistration, and preaching was properly the ministration of the word of God, therefore surplices were to be worn in the pulpit as well as in the desk or on other occasions of the ministry. Yet, with every respect tor the opinion of so great a ritualist as Bi s hop Cosies, it is manifest there is nothing in our rubrics that doth directly autho rize this usage, or in our canons that doth countenance it. Nay, there is something in both which vould discou rage, if not forbid, such a practice. The canons limit the use nf the surplice to the public prayers and minis tering the sacrament and other rites of the Church; so doth our rubric concerning habits, if it be strictly inter preted, of King Edward's order in the second year of his reign ; for there the Surplice is only to be used at matins, evensong, in boplizing, and buoying in parish churches; and then there immediately folloes this permission —that in all other places every minister shall be at liberty to use any surplice or not; and also a recommendation to such as are graduates, that when they preach they should use such hoods as pertained to their several degrees. Here, then, is sufflci-nt warrant for using a hood without a surplice, as is done to this day at the Universities, but no appearance of authority for the use of surplices in the pulpit. All, then, that I would observe upon the custom of preaching in surplices is, that none of us are obliged to it, though at the same time I intend no censure of the practice.—Archdeacon Sharpe in 1840. CURIOUS COMBAT.—The following curious account of a combat between a monkey and a cobra da capella, was related to me by an old friend in Be gal, who heard it from a gentleman who had witnessed the fact at Patna, some thirty years ago. The monkey inhabited a large buy r (Indite.) or banyan tree (fleas indicd,) and was pre paring to ascend it, when he perceived, near the root, a large cobra. On every attempt to approach the trunk, the snake reared its crest to at'ack him, and, as the mon key moved to the other side, the snake in like manner shifted his ground, so as always to intercept his advance to the tree. The monkey on this quickened its move ments, danced front side to side, and occasionally rushing directly at the snake, as if about to seize it, kept it in a state of continual action and alarm for nearly two hours. At length the cobra, apparently tired out, lay stretched on the ground. The monkey now walked leisurely before it, watching its motions all the while with the utmost vigilance, and gradually lessening the distance between them, till he arrived within reach by a single bound, when, springing on his enemy, before he had time to rear his head, grasped him firmly by the neck. The snake instantly enveloped him in its folds, but the monkey, retain'ng his hold, seized a brick-bat (part of the ruins of an old pagoda at the foot of the tree), and cooly set himself to work to rub against it the head of the snake. This operation was continued with the most determined perseverence, till he had utterly destroyed all vestige of the head, reducing it to a confused mass, when, disengaging himself from the now inert folds, he threw it from him, and sprang up to his wonted roost in the tree. After this, it can scarcely be questioned, that the monkey was not perfecly aware of the dangerous character of the snake, and also knew well the seat of the formidable power which his enemy possessed, and could in an instant put forth for his destruction. It also appears to prove that the larger animals, unlike the smaller ones, and small birds, are incapable of tieing acted upon by the power of fascination.—Meoical Times. WINE AS A MEDICAL AGENT.—III his third bock, Hippocrat s, the Father of Medicine, gives a description of the general qualities and strength of the Greek wines, and the peculiar medical virtues which they posst:ssed. He likewise points out in what diseases, and in what quantities, they are to be used, so as to render them salu tary and innoxious. It is remarkable—and we beg to direct the attention of Father Mathew (whom we are sorry to find what his disci' lcs call "up the spout.") to the tact by the way, that Hippocrates rarely directs water alone, but almost invariably orders its exhibition with wine, or combined with honey and vinegar. Water was no doubt the basis of all his cooling drinks; but there was always added to it a moderate proportion of the weak white wines, to render it more effectually diluting. To the infirm and valetudinarian, wine is a necessary com fort beyond all price. When a patient - has been long habituated to the use of it, a change in diet cannot be suf fered without danger.—There is a remarkable instance of this aff.irded in the case of the celebrated physician Cor naro, who always revived after vintage, when he left off the old and decaying wines of the last vintage, and com menced drinking the new. The passage is in the account which he gives of the rules by which he repaired his con stitution, injured as it was by excesses, till the period when he was forty years old. By the regime he pre scribed to himself, it is well known he preserved his health and spirits to the age of 100. The efficacy of his system depended on his taking a certain quantity of solids and fluids every day. The fluid consisted entirely of wine, but he gradually diminished the quantity of each as he advanced in years. Eluting this period he enjoyed an equal state of health, except that sometimes, before the vintage returned and the new wine was made, he quickly became so weak and languid that his physician declared he could not possibly continue to survive many days in that declining state. " But on the return of the vintage," says he, "arid on taking the same quantity of new wine, I very quickly recovered my usual strength and spirits." The same effect is observed, to com p are v a i n av i nal m st a ,eo l df s with men, among the mules in J ama i ca .

In consequence of the lateness of the hour at which h e train arrived, we were compelled to work off our town subsCribers' copies without our usual town edition. FOREIGN POPULATJON OF THE UNITED STATES. (From the New Fork Express.) "We have no tables at hand to show the number of emi grants that have reached our shores for the years 1842, 3, and 4 ; but we are well assured that they will exceel that of any former year. The following is a correct table of the number of persons that have arrived from the United Kingdom of Great Britain at Canada and the United States, to say nothing of the vast number of German and other emigrants from the Continent:— Canada. United States. 15,945 28,000 50,254 22,607 51,746 21,752 30,935 12,527 16.749 27,722 .. 21,901 3,266 . , 7,439 22,234 28,086 1829 1830 1831 1832 1833 1834 • 1835 .1. 1836 ... 1837 1838 ... 1839 .. . 1840 . 1841 .. . Total .... 321,807 347.632 Average.. 26,800 . It is well known that a very large portion of the emi grants that reach Canada pass directly into the United States. The average number that reached the United States direct from Britain, for 12 years prior to 1841, was nearly 29,000 a-year ; since that period the number has greatly increased. Indeed, the number that reached this port alone, from all foreign countries, has been fir a sin gle year over 80,000. Fur 12 years, ending in 1841, the emigration from Great Britain into Canada was 321.807 Into the United States 317,632 Total If the number arriving in thii country from Great Bri tain alone averages 28,700, it is but a moderate estimate to suppo4e that the whole emigration, from all countries, exceeds 50,000 per annum. Ai it is well known that a small proportion only are females, it may be safely calcu. lat-d" that full 40,000 are males. From this exhibit some little estimate can be made of the immense foreign vote in this country. If we take but 20.000 persons na.uralised per annum throughout the United States, and calculate only 15 years, it would make the foreign vote in this country 300,000. There is every probability that. the majority of the popular vote at the Presidential election will not reach 20,000. It therefore requires no ghost to rise up to acquaint us that the destinies of this mighty nation have been entirely in the hands of the foreign po pulation. How much, then, does it become that popula tion to lose their own nationality in ours, and how much does it become Americans to look vigilantly to the welfare of their own. It is not generally known, that a robin redbreast is not Permitted to live longer than four years. At that age, be is attacked by the younger birds, and killed. Though at other times the most pugnacious of birds, be dies unre sisting'''. EDUCATION AND CRIME.--in a late charge to the grand jury of York, Mr. Justice Coleridge, in referring to the concurrent increase of crime and education, uttered the following sentiments, which do honour to the bench, and might instruct some of our anythingarian nobility and prelates, if ignorance, hedged up' by political advantage and self-conceit, can ever be instructed :—" One of the great engines," said be, " which had always been looked to for the reduction of crime, was the spread of education. Education bad no doubt spread very largely throughout the whole of England ; and i could not be denied that the number of persons who were unable to read and write had much diminished. In 1837, the proportion was nearly thirty-six per cent.; it was now reduced to about thirty-one per cent. When they found, however, in ti e face of the great increase of education of some kind, that crime went on steadily to increase, it undoubtedly gave rise to some misgivings with regard to the eff-ctive nature of the remedy. Far was it from him to cast any doubt upon the certainty of education in the end to produce a good effect. It led them to this important consideration —Whether the education that had yet been g iven hid been entirely of the ri g ht so r t? Wh e th er, thoug it might be desirable to spread a knowledge of reading and writing amongst the common people, they did not mistake the meaning of education who rested their idea of its efifciency simply on an acquaintance with those branches ? There was another thing which should be made the basis, and not the basis only, but the su p ers t ruc t ure a l so, of the system of education ; and that was a practical, vital, and entire diffusion of the principles of religious truth into the hearts of the people. For that reason it had ofttn occurred, that instead of the prison returns containing accounts of the capabilities of the inmates to read and write, and so on, it would be well that the chaplain of the gaol should be instructed to examine the prisoners as to the amount of their religious knowledge ; and then it would be seen what such an education as that would effect amongst those who had the misfortune to become the in mates of gaols." A BEAR.—" Were you ever hugged by a bear?" " Well, I wasn't ever hugged ; but once I was mach closer to one than ever I wish to be again."—" Oh ! when was that? Do, pray tell us," said Emma —" It was when I was young, that one day I sounded a tree in tl e forest with my axe, and I was certain that there was a bear in it ; but the animal did not show itself, so I climbed up the tree to examine the hole at the top, and see if the bear was at home; if so, I was determined to have him out. Wel, Miss, I was on the top of the hollow trunk, and was just putting my bead into the hole, when, all of a sudden, the edge of the tree on which I knelt gave way, like so much tinder, and down j went into the hollow; luckily for me I did not go down head foremost, or there I should have remained until this time, for the hole in the middle of the tree, as I found, was too narrow for me to have turned in, and there I must have stuck. As it was, • I came down with the dust and crumbles smothering me almost, till I came right on the top of the bear, who lay at the bottom ; and I fell with such force that I doubled his head down, so that he could not lay hold of me with his teeth, which would not have been pleasant ; indeed, ' the bear was quite as much, if not more astonished than myself, and there be lay beneath me very quiet till I could recover a little. Then I thought of getting out, as you ' may suppose, fast enough, and the hollow of the tree, I providentially, was not so wide but that I could work up again with my back to one side and my knees to the other. By this means I gradually got up again to the hole that I fell in at. and. I perched myself across the timber to fetch my breath. I had not been there much more than a quarter of a minute, and I intended to have remained much longer, when I perceived all of a sudden the bear's head within a foot of me; he had climbed up after nse, and I saw he was very angry, so in a moment I threw myself off my perch, and down I went to the ground at the foot of the tree, a matter of near twenty feet, even faster than I went down inside of it. I was severely shaken with the fall, but no bones were broken ; in fact, I was more frightened than hurt : I lay quite still for a little while, when the growl of the bear put me in mind of him; I jumped on my legs, and found that he was coming down the tree after me, and was within six feet of the ground. There was no time to lose; I caught np my rifle and had just time to put it to his ear and se tle him, as he was placing his fore-foot on the ground."— " What a narrow escape !"—" Well, perhaps it was ; t there's no saying. Miss, which beats till the fight is over." --Cuplain Marryat. THE CHURCH'S DECISION AS TO THE OFEERTORY.— What is the evidence which the church offers me as to the observance of the weekly offertory? I find the sovereign of the realm, the temporal head of the church, acting, of course, under the primate, recognized a disuse of this ser vice. A few tears after this I find the primate himself composing a form of prayer in which this service is alto gether omitted. After a short interval I find a bishop (and that bishop Bishop Andrews) in the solemn duty of consecrating a chapel, (and this, be it remembered, is one of the recognised festivals.) using this service only as a portion of the Eucharistic service. This, too, is succeeded by an important hlteration in the prayer for the church militant, made by the two houses of convocation, and sanctioned by the parliament, 1661; confirming Bishop Andrews's practice. Again, in 1712 I find a form of prayer proposed by the bishops in convocation to the other dig nitaries and representatives of the clergy. I find that form discussed and approved by the lover house ; and thus ob taining the sanction of both houses of convoca ion; not only contirmieg, but carrying on the practice of thus- pre. vious authorities. And in addition to this, I find a tenour of high authorities down to the present time, encouragi n g in their writings, and confirming by their practice, those changes which are in strict accordance wiih the statute law of the land; and which have been made. as I trust I have shown, to meet the changes of its requirements. If this be not the voice of the church, whither shall I go to hear it? May I not, at least, require !hat an authority equal to that of 1712—the whole convocation of bishops, dignitaries, and representatives of the clergy—should au thoritatively deliver their judgments in effecting so great a change in the practice of the church ? I repeat that this consideration does press most heavily upon me. But this does not appear to be the only obstacle to a revival of the weekly offertory. I speak with great submission and with great reverence for the au:horities who may differ from me ; but I ant certainly of opinion that'the church, as an integral part of the state, has no power to revive the offer tory as a provision and maintenance for the poor : assu ming that these portions of the rubric will bear the inter pretation which the advocates for the revival affix to them, and that the rubric itself has the force of an act of parlia ment. W‘thout again referring to any prior statutes, I submit that the 4th and sth W.lliam IV , cap. 7 repeals, or rather annuls, its operation. By clause 15 it is enacted that from and after the p ass i ng o f thi s ac t the adminis tration of relief to the poor throughout England and Wales, according to the existing laws, cr such laws as shall be in force at the lime being, shall be suloject to the direction and control of the said commissioners. The alms offered at the celebration of the holy commu nion (and God forbid that they should he suspended) are valuable, inasmuch as they enable the minister, in cases of sickness, and other emergenc i es , t o supp l y a few com forts to his poor parishioners. They are, as I have before observed, subsidiary to, but not supersedi n g th e l ega l pro vision for them. But if you revive the weekly offertory. in its original intention, you create au imperium in its :oHO, the legality of which no one, I presume, is prepared to defend; VARIETIES. CONSIDERATE.—The clock at the palace of the Tuile ries is always kept five minutes too slow, in consideration, as the King cannot wait, to those whom unavoidable acci dent may have prevented from keeping their appointments. RIGHT OF OPINION.—A Dutch judge, in a case before him in which the right of opinion was brought in question, it was argued for the party whose right was questioned, that in his country (America) every man has a right freely to express his opinions. To this the judge replied, with great complacency, •` 0 vah ! Every man has the right, by the law, in this free Republic, to dink for himself, pro vided he clinks with the court." FALLING IN LOVE WITH A LARGE FAMILY.—There was a certain Lady Mapleberry, " with six unmarried daughters ;—one of those large, lively, goodhumoured, singing, dancing, riding, chatting families, where a young man seeking a wife is apt to tall in love with the join - „stock merit and animation of the group; and to feel quite astonished on discovering, after his union with Harriet or Jane, how moderate a proportion he has received in his lawful sixth of the music, intormation, accomplishments, and good-humoured gossipry of the united tribe." SENSIBILITY OF THE EYE.—Puhlic opinion, which on medical subjects is generally erroneous, although for the most part founded on professional authority, is, in no instance, more injuriocs than in relation to the eye. It pronounces it to be an organ of a very delicate nature, exquisitely sensitive, requiring the greatest delicacy of touch, and the utmost nicety of management ; which opi nion some oculists formerly found it convenient to sup port, and which the public may still continue to believe without any great disadvantage; but students in surgery must be taught otherwise. They must learn, that the eye is not so very delicate; that it will suffer more compara tive violence, with less injury, than any other organ of importance in the whole body ; that so far from being exquisitely sensitive, it is, when exposed in a healthy state, nearly the reverse, only becoming permanently so on the occurrence of inflammation ; and that the ablest and most successful operators are not apparently, although they are in reality, the most tender in their proceedings. The opinion of the exquisite sensibility of the eye has arisen from the pain which is felt on the admission of a small piece of dirt, or a fly, between the eyelids; but this occurs from a wise and preservative provision of nature, on account of the insensibility of the eye-ball itself. Let the eyelid be raised, and the same piece of dust applied to the surface of the eye, no pain. and scarcely a sensa tion, will be produced ; remove the piece of dirt, turn out the lid, and, whilst it is retained everted, place the niece of dirt upon it, no greater sensation will be induced than is felt when it is applied to the eye-ball. The infe rence is, that both surfaces, when touched separately, are nearly insensible to this species of irritation. Bt►t let the same piece of dirt be put between the eyelid and the eye ball, and the sensation produced is exquisitely painful. To give rise to this sensation, it is necessary that the two surfaces.should come in contact. and that the foreign body be grasped between them.—Medical Times. PREACHERS OF THE OLDEN TlME.—Almost every one of our most eminent preachers has been distinguished by his manner. This was especially the case with those who lived in the early dawn and growing fullness of toe refor mation, That is, manner was most conspicuous when it was most wanted. The crowds that flocked round Paul's Cross, to listen to the invectives of Latimer or Jewell, presented many features of intimate resemblance to the masses who thronged the moveable pulpit of Whitfield, in Moorfields. The same ignorance, the same brutality, the same wonder, might have been traced in both. In pro -ducing to these multitudes—often the rabble of license and crime—the majestic truths of religion, it is obvious that the mode of presentation would deeply influence the re ception. In this way Andrews. the learned and good, was incomparable. Colet, the Dean of St. Paul's, in 1505, was equally gifted. The illustrious Sir Thomas More thought not beneath his dignity to praise even the la guage of his face. Of Donne, also Dean of St. Paul's, in the reign of Jame- , I, an exquisite sketch is given by Walton, " a preacher in earnest, weeping sometimes for his auditory, sometimes with them; always preachittg to himself, like an angel from a cloud, but in none; carrying some, as St. Paul was. to heaven in holy raptures, and en ticing others by a sacred art and courtship to amend their lives : and all this with a most particular grace and an in expressible addition of lovelines..' One of his hearers ex pressed the picturesque exhortation of his manner most forcibly, by saying, that the bystander might take notes. Look at the temple when Hooker was the master, and Travers the afternoon lecturer. It was within these mag nificent walls that the anlhor of the "Polity" preached some of the noblest theological prose in the English lan guage. 01 his manner, we have the account of a contem porary. He spoke with a grace zeal and an humble voice, keeping his eyes always fixed on one place to prevent bis imagination from wandering, "insomuch," says Walton, "that he seemed to study as be spake." His opponent. Travers, on the:contrary, possessed the gifts which Hooker wanted; arid it was not, perhaps, altogether because they bad to adopt the particular phrase, Rome in the morning, and Geneva in the evening, that the aisles of the Temple Church were crowded when Travers ascended the pulpit ; something was owing to that preference, felt insensibly by all, of the glowing utterance of our thoughts and feelings, before the calm arid stately enutnerations of argument or of doctrine."—Fr•aser's Magazine.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE. 1 APT AI N PI DDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE l.) TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tea. This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous experiments and the most minute analysis. For another to produce the same result, he must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may never once have visited China, he must have had equal opportunities of securing to himself, its productions with one who, like Captain Ptdding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How qua—years before his dea . h—imparted. at Canton, tiie secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell tea, they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture dif fering from all the others. Now , as there can be but ONE REAL " Mixture," it follows that. as 500 dif ferent medleys are offered-199 must be spurious. The 499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the Superiority of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to sUppose that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly—even were it possible —as to yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable a secret. The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures,. to guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe that " THE SIGNATURE THUS," Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING, Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Pack ,, ge. To those who drink Green Tea. " Captain Pidding's Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one estate, is recommended for it strength and economy, arid as being the purest and most wholesome Green Tea im ported from China.

A ete extrait ce qui suit. POINT DE DROIT. 1 La demande non plus que les qualites a eux donnees par l'ex ploit misrelate n'etant contestees par Guenot et Lagoutte qui ne comparaissent pas, la condemnation contre eux requise etre prononcee ? 2 Les fins de non-relevoir proposees par Guelaud, Messier et Amevet, Wittersteim et Puchet Deroche sont-elles admissible, ? cas contraire, la condemnation coutre eux requise dolt-ells etre prononcee ? 3 Y a-t-il a la contrainte par corps ? • 4 L'execution provisoire requise en cas d'appel doit-elle etre ordonnee sans caution ? Apres en avoir delibere conformement a la loi. Considerant que la demande ni les qualites ne sont contests ts par Guenot et Lagoutte, qui ne comparaissent pas. Le tribunal abjuge aux demaudeurs le profit des defeats prononces contre les susnommes pas jugemeat des 17 Septembre et ler Octobre derniers. en consequence faisant droit au principal au I'egard de toutes les parties. En ce qui touche Guelaud et Messier et Amavet. Considerant que /e nom d'un commergant est tine propriete que les lois de tousles pays doivent fair,' respecter ' qua ce nom se rattache souvent une reputation cornmerciale qui devient un patri moine de famille. Qu'un etranger qui apporte en France soit tine industrie, soit des produits fabriques, dolt etre protege comme les nationaux. Qu'il ne s'agit pas dans la cause d'assurer aux demaudeurs Is propriete exclusive de la fabrication de Thuile de Macassar, fabrica tion qui est qu domaine public, mais de leur mainieuirleur nom commercial dont it nest perrnis a personae de disposer. Considerant que si les defendeurs veulent fabriquer et vendre de I'huile de Macassar, ill ne le peuvent faire sous un nom qui ne leur appartient pas, et le soin qu'ils out inis a prendre de nom prouve tout l'interet que les demandeurs out a le conserver. Que la bonne foi et l'equite, sont de tous les pays, que les tribu naux fraucais ne doivent pas perinettre que les consommateurs soient trompes par des speculations que la bonne to; et requite reprouvent. Que s'il est allegue qu'en pareilles matieres les Francais faisant le commerce en Angleterre sent exposes a de parelles spoliations, ces allegatiuns ne soot pas justifiees ; que le fussent-elles, it e'en faudrait pas mows rendre bonne et loyale justice aux etrangers qui se placeut sous la protection des lois francaises afin, de commander et d'obtenir la meme protection pour les .Francais qui resident a l'etranger. En ce qui touche Pouchet Deroche et Wittersteim. Considerant que s'ils out fabrique des flacons et des etiqnettes portant le nom Rowland de Pa , is, Hs ont agi de bonne foi ; n'ont pas specule stir ce nem ; qu'ils ont pu croire que c,euz qui leur out cornmande ces objets avaient qualite pour le faire. Par ces motifs, le tribunal, jugeaut en preneer ressort, condamne Guenot, Lagoutte, Guelaud, Messier et Amivet, par les voies de droit et meme par corps chacun en six cents francs de dommages— interets, leur fait defenees d' employer a l'avenir, en aucune b a con, le nom de Rowland et S on , sous pe i ne d e cinq cents francs de dom mages-interets par cheque contravention constatee Declare les demandeurs grant a present mal fondes dans leur demande coutre Pochet Deroche, Wittersteim, toutefois fait defenses a ces derniers de fabriquer des flacons on des etiquettes portant le nom de Rowland et Sons, sans rautorisation des demandeurs.

Milk-street, Cheapside. Sin,—l feel it a duty I owe to society, publicly to make known the benefit I received by u s in g y our excellent Medicine. Having been confined to my house three years with Lumbago and Rheuma tism, unable to remove without the use of crutches, I had despaired of ever gaining relief, having tried every popular remedy which hay besn sent by my friends from various parts .of the globe, none of which had any effect. I have consulted the most able Physicians, one of whom stated, that however lamentable my case was, 1 ought to be thankful, from my great sufferings—being frequently in a a ate of madness—that I could with the assistance of crutches move at all. From the high recommendation I had of your valuable Medicine I was induced to make another effort, although in strict opposition to my medical attendants; and, doubtful as it may app ear , i n the short space of twelve h ours I was enabled to walk the length of my warehouse without the assistance of crutches. The Physician who had declared my case hopeless was equally rejoiced as myself that he was deceived, and hoped that publicity would be gives to the remedy, as the London Hospitals were not in possession of any re medy to relieve their unfortunate Rheumatic patients. Being so long an invalid, I was not without knowing a number of unhappy sufferers; to several I sent some Medicine, and am happy to state that the accounts I have received are of the most gratifying description. I trust you will use every exertion in making public your excel lent remedy, that those afflicted may know where to get relief. JOIIN MI rCLIELL. Well-street, Cripplegate. SI R,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my bead to feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my medical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. . Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I migh have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close application of four days, my troublesome companion began to disappear ; in is week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perse, erance in the use of your Medicine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, D. W. SToNE. 14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road. Oct. 26, 1844.
