The castle, which has many fine spacious apartments, is sur rounded with mountains, lovely meadows, and fields, through which rivulets wind, woods for the hunt, and streams for angling; it stands in a charming valley, wherein the town of Cham, with its old towers, castles of ancient knights, and ruins of the remotest ages, inspires the soul with poetical feelings. But, however delightful the spot may be to who judge of rural life by the fables of Virgil, Horace Delille t i I think it very melancholy to behold none but myself in my fine rooms, and to see but my own person reflected in my looking-glass. I have, therefore resolved to marry like other simpletons ; and since it is affirmed that marriages are made in heaven, and are but a lottery, to see what heaven may have in store for me, and what fair creature the wheel of fortune may allot me,—with this view I submit my wishes to all young ladies through the medium of the newspapers.

She must have her clothes made, and wear them according to her own taste and fancy, heedless of what the herd of fashionable women may say about it. She must know or learn how to ride and drive.

She must not, as is the case with most married couples, forget what becomes female dignity, and condescend to be the first to coax her husband, as many a high-minded lady is com pelled to do in order to humour her uncouth lord. What ever I have expressed by the word must is not slavery, but a contract and convention entered into for her real welfare.

" THEODORE, BARON VON HALLBERG OF BROECH, " Commander of the Order of St. Michael, Knight of the Order of St. Ann, and Captain Colonel of the Rhine and INlaese. Munich, at the Black Eagle, 15th Nov., 1840." HIGHLAND MARY'S BIBLES (From the Glasgow Herald. We were waited upon last night by Mr. Robert Weir, sta tioner, Queen-street, who temporarily placed in our posses sion a relic which will be considered of rare value by every lover of Scottish poesy and song—viz., the identical pair of Bibles which were presented by Robert Burns to Mary Campbell, the object of by far the deepest passion which the bard ever knew, and which he has immortalised in the noblest of his elegiacs. It will be remembered, from a statement which went the round of the journals a few months ago, that the Bible was found in the possession of a family in Montreal, who were anxious to dispose of it from straitened circum stances. The manner in which this valuable memento of the poet's affection came into the family alluded to was satisfac torily explained, and the volumes accordingly purchased by a few Scotchmen in Montreal, with the intention of transmit ting them to the Provost of Ayr, to be by him deposited in the monument on the banks of the Doon, as the offering of men, who, though far away, have not forgotten the songs, and music, and endearing associations of their fatherland. They have accordingly been transmitted by Mr. Robert Weir, jun., of Montreal, to his father in Glasgow, to be by him for warded to Ayr. Mr. Weir in his letter states—" By the Mohawk I will send to your care the identical Bibles pre sented by Burns to his Highland Mary, along with a lock of her hair, to be by you safely transmitted to the Provost of Ayr, for the purpose of being deposited in Burns's monu ment, on the banks of the ' bonnie Doon.' " The volumes are accompanied by two packets addressed to the authorities in Ayr, which, from their bulk, apparently contain enclo sures that in ail likelihood will be conclusive of the authen ticity of the present, if, indeed, this could be in the slightest degree doubted. The Bible is the 24m0 size, printed in 1782, by the " assigns of Alexander Kincaid." The volumes have been plainly bound in calf, have been gilt, and though apparently much worn, are still in a state of good preserva tion. From the figures, " ss. 6d." being marked on the corner of the blank leaf of the first volume, this has, in all likelihood, been the original price of a relic which would now be gladly purchased for hundreds. On the same blank leaf there is written in the handwriting of the bard :—" And ye shall not swear by my name falsely—l am the Lord. Levit., 19th chap., 12th verse." On the opposite blank leaf the mason mark of the poet is drawn, but the name of " Robert Burns, Mossgiel," which was known to have been inscribed on it, has been much obliterated : and the page is ruffled and torn at the corner and sides, as if it had been fre quently fingered. The blank leaf at the end of the same vo lume contains a relic of singular and even affecting interest— viz., a lock of the hair of Highland Mary, which is of auburn colour, and of usual length for a female. The lock is attached to the leaf by a tiny pin, and two little bits of paper which are rather clumsily wafered over it- The blank leaf of the second volume contains—" Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oath.—Math., 5 ch., 33d verse." The opposite page contains " Robert Burns, Mossgiel," much more distinctly than in the first volume, but still somewhat imperfect, and both leaves have been de tached from their binding. To any one who has seen the poet's hand-writing, as we frequently have in poems, letters, and excise permits, there cannot be a doubt of. the perfect authenticity of the Scriptural passages quoted above. The connection of Robert Burns with Mary Campbell is one of the most affecting and romantic in his fitful life. Lockhart, in detailing this passion, observes—" In introducing to Mr. Thomson's notice the song— Will ye go to the Indies, my Mary ?' Burns says—' In my early years, when I was thinking of going to the West Indies, I took this farewell of a dear girl;', and afterwards in a note on— ' Ye banks and braes and streams around The Castle o' Montgomerie ; Green be your woods, and fair your flowers, Your waters never drumlie: Here summer first unfaulds her robes, And there they laogest tarry, For there I took the last farewell Of my sweet Highland Mary'— he adds—' After a pretty long trial of the most ardent reci procal affection, we met by appointment on the second Sun day of May, in a sequestered spot by the banks of Ayr, where we spent a day in taking a farewell.before she should embark for the West Highlands, to arrange matters among her friends for our projected change in life. At the close of the autumn following, she crossed the sea to meet me at Greenock, where she had scarce landed when she was seized with a malignant fever, which hurried my dear girl to her grave in a few days, before I could even hear of her illness ;' ,and Mr. Cromek, speaking of the same day of parting love,' gives, though without mentioning his authority, some farther particulars, which to one would willingly believe to be apo cryphal. This adieu,' . says that zealous inquirer into the details of Burns' story, was performed with all those sim ple and striking ceremonials which rustic sentiment has de vised to prolong tender emotions, and to impose awe. The lovers stood on each side of a small purling brook—they laved their hands in the limpid stream—and, holding a Bible between them, pronounced their vows to be faithful to each other. They parted never to meet again.' " At the time Mr. Lockhart wrote,. Cromek's story received the strongest confirmation, by the accidental discovery of a Bible, presented by Burns to Mary Campbell, in the pos session of her then surviving sister at Ardrossan. This is, therefore,, the same copy, which, after making a voyage across the Atlantic, has now been returned to a locality which has long been immortalised by the genius of the peasant•bard. w.ngland has done nothing towards seen -;ty of the Turkish empire," what has 1 -erself in the way of advantage to :I N ?

On the same day, at seven o'clock in the evening, 300 houses, with their dependencies, were thrown down in the district of Scharour by a violent shock, in which 13 men, 20 women, and 250 horned cattle, perished. At the same mo ment a shock, which continued about a minute, was felt in the fortress of Schonscha, and in several other places in the province of Karabagh, which did no damage in the fortress, but threw down a church and 169 houses in the province. The church of the ancient Armenian monastery Taliti was cracked at the east end; pieces of the hewn stone from the roof and cupola fell down. Rocks situated in the neighbotlr-. hood of Schirger were overturned, and in their fall crushed a man, two women, and a great number of cattle. The road leading to Schirger was rendered so entirely impassable, that the inhabitants could not communicate with each other ex cept by means of ropes.

In conclusion, the learned professor regretted that he could not propose his son (professor of natural philosophy in the university of Dorpat) to conduct this expedition, as he was then labouring under a severe and dangerous illness. The latter, it is well known, made an accurate survey of Ararat a short time before the last catastrophe, and is per fectly acquainted with the locality.—Lilerary Gazette. LIFE AND DEATH OF AN INDIAN CHIEF (Abridyed from the New York Journal of Commerce.) Died, at Tuscarera village, Oct. 29, 1840, Nichola Cusick, aged 82 years 4 months and 17 days, long a principal chief of the Tuscarora Indians. Nicholas Cusick was born at the Oneida Reservation, June 15, 1756. His father was an Eng lish merchant, of a very wealthy and respectable family. At the age of ten years he was placed at school in Johnstown, under the patronage of Sir W. Johnson, where he remained several years, and then returned to his own people. At the commencement of the revolutionary war, the British govern ment were very anxious to secure his services in favour of the Crown, and through the medium of a distinguished officer, proposed to him a commission in the army, with a large salary, but he utterly refused the officers, saying, " I will not fight against my own soil, but I will be a defender of my country." Shortly after this, the agent of the Provincial Government held a council with the friendly Oneida Indians, and Nicholas Cusick offered himself as a volunteer, and as such enlisted in the army under General Washington. He soon received a lieutenant's commission, and joined the army with about 50 Tuscarora warriors, whom he had induced to espouse the cause of American independence. Ile continued in active service about five years, and from his knowledge of the English and Indian languages he was of essential service in matters regarding the Indians. He was in several engage ments under Generals Washington and La Fayette. On many occasions he appears to have rendered important ser vice to the Americans, when acting with his warriors as a scouting party. One of these deserves to be particularly mentioned. At a time when General La Fayette was en camped op the Delaware river, near the city of Philadelphia, he had designed to join battle with the British. He ac cordingly drew up his army in order for battle; but Cusick went before him with his warriors, as spies, and finally came so close to the British dragoons, that he very narrowly es caped from their hands. He, however, ascertained that the British army was more than 6,000 strong, which fact he com municated to General La Fayette, who, in view of his army, which numbered but about 3,000, prudently resolved not ,to encounter the British, but retreated and joined the main army under General Washington ; thus Cusick instru mentally saved the army from probable destruction and defeat. At the close of the war a pension of 30,000 dols. was granted to him by the United. States government, which he has re ceived until the present time. Shortly after the restoration of peace, he was appointed by the Six Nations principal chief of the Tuscaroras, and during the time be held that office he was ever regarded as faithful in using his endeavours for the good of his people, and of the United States. When the late war was declared, immediately on the receipt of the intelli gence, at the head of a large number of his tribe, he went forth and volunteered his services in defence of his country. These services were accepted, and he, with two of his sons, had the honour of fighting by the side of Generals Brown, Scott, and Porter, at the battles of Chipewa and Lundy's Lane. For the gallantry of himself and tribe, the British soldiery and the Indians in the British service, ile they had possession of Fort Niagara, at the mouth of Niagara river, paid their village, which was 12 miles distance, a visit, and burnt their houses and laid their fields waste ; and it was not until the close of the war that they were permitted to return in quiet to their homes. With Cusick lies buried a fund of knowledge of the history of the different tribes of Indians inhabiting that section of country for the last century. It is to be lamented that the knowledge which he possessed has not been embodied in some work and preserved for posterity. In one century more the Red Men will be spoken of as a race of beings who once inhabited that portion of the country, but of whom scarcely a vestige will remain to mark the places of their former abode. Of this Cusick had a lively sense, and it was to him a most melancholy thought, that in a feiv years more, not one of all the powerful tribes of his race who once inhabited this vast country, from the frozen regions of the north to the Gulf of Mexico, would be found to claim enough of the soil to serve as a resting-place for the dead. In stature he was about 6 feet 1 inch, with well-proportioned limbs. His features were of the Indian character, strongly marked, with an open, engaging countenance. It is over 50 years since he professed to be a Christian, and at that time united with a congregational church in Oneida country. He was subsequently appointed an inter preter among the Six Nations, by the MissiOnary Society then existing, in which different denominations were united. In this capacity he travelled with a number of missionaries, to whom he was strongly attached. His interpretations were ever regarded as very faithful, and were highly useful to the Indians. He resigned his office about ten years since, owing chiefly to his advanced age and infirmities. He offered himself as a member of Tuscarora Baptist church, in May, 1838, and, on being received, was baptised by his son Elder James Cusick. Tuscarora village, where a great part of the life of the chief was spent, is situate on the brow of what now bears the name of Lowistown-mountain. It is the northern ter mination of that vast strata of lime-rock which underlays the face of the country several hundred miles in extent east and west, and reaches south to the spires of the Alleghany mountains. The tribe now numbers about 280 persons, and is always decreasing. His son, named James, has studied divinity, and supplies the place of former missionaries. PROMOTION IN THE NAVY.—As friends of the navy, we cannot but rejoice in the recent liberal promotion of officer, engaged in the Syrian campaign—a promotion exceeding, if we remember aright, those of the battles of the Nile and Tra falgar. Whilst we rejoice in their good fortune, however, we must say, that we do not like the system which makes the re ward of officers depend on accidental circumstances rather than their own exertions. Beside, if such a flow of honours is to be lavished on one arm of the service, surely another, equally zealous and active on the occasion, ought to share them.—United Service Gazette. .SELF-ACTING RAILWAY SIGNALS.-Mr. Rotch, the fore man of the coroner's jury at the recent inquest at Harrow, in a letter to the Railway Times, proposes the following ex pedient, by way of giving a signal of danger to the engine drivers, which would warn them most effectually whatever was the state of the weather. Its principal defect is, that it would not apply to cases of danger previously known, and would afford no protection against sudden obstructions on the road :—I propose to have the distance posts (which on all railways I have observed occur every quarter of a mile) gauged to a fixed distance from the rail; and on to this post I propose to drive two staples one above the other; into these staples, thus forming a socket, I set a small gibbet at the place it horizontal to give warning to the driver to stop. The upper arm of this gibbet projects over the rails, on a level with the handle of the whistle, which should be placed a little to one side of the dome of the boiler for that purpose, and as the engine passes that place, the gibbet striking against the handle opens the whistle, and having per formed this operation is instantly struck out of the way of the following carriages by a short fixed stay or rod screwed or riveted on to the dome, just behind the whistle handle, but a little to one side of it. One of those gibbets which fold up acd are therefore quite portable, should be taken by each guard, and one kept at each station-house, and at what ever part of the line it is required that the engineer should have warning to stop, it is only to take the gibbet to the quarter mile -post next beyond that post and stick it in its socket, when the engine will be warned in a manner that must be heard and cannot be mistaken. Again, if the hinder part of a luggage train break off in the night (a very common occurrence) the guard is exposed to having the part of the train he is left with (for he sits always in the last carriage) run into by the next coming train ; but if he at once takes his gibbet and goes back to the next quarter mile-post, and sticks it up, the warning to the next train he is in danger from will be inevitable, and no collision need take place. 'WALSALL ELP:CTIONe,- are. happy to announce that iva have received from a gentleman who arrived in IVlanehes , ter from Walsall on Tuesday evening, and who, with t vn-y opportunity for inquiry, had taken pains to 'ascertain the ac tual prospects of the candidates, that Mr. Gladstone is sure of success. That gentleman is a guest of Mr. Foster, the former representative of the borough, by whom he was in troduced to the electors some months since. Mr. Foster has not only the local influence arising from his former connec tion with the borough, but also that of a wealthy, local banker in the highest credit. At the moment when Mr. Finch's retirement was announced, Mr. Gladstone was on a visit to his father-in-law, Sir Robert Bateson, at Belvoir park, near Belfast. He lost no time, however, in -repairing to the field'of action ; and the whig candidate, Mr. Lyttle-' ton, is already reduced to despair. Mr. Gladstone is the elder brother of the hon. member for Newark. His oppo nent is the brother of Lord Lyttleton.—Manehester Chry nick. COMMODORE NAPIER. - A correspondent in Syria writes us an amusing account of Commodore Napier. " I magine (says our correspondent) our old friend the commodore, his visage umbrellaed with a straw hat with flapping brims of immense dimensions, divested of his coat, and mounted on a jackass, with his shirt sleeves turned up as if for the purpose of slaughtering a pig, cantering at the head of a marine oat talion, as its commander, and wonder, if you can, that his own bluejackets have fixed upon him the sobriquet of ' Mad Charley.' And imagine, if you can, all this, and a body of military men led on by such a commander, instead of one of its own gallant and oft-tried senior officers." The thing is certainly beyond the stretch of any ordinary conception, but we are told that it occurred, nevertheless.—United Service Gazette. DOCTOR bOUCHERET'SMODE OF SATURATING WOOD Having in our last number explained Doctor Boucheret's mode of operating, we now proceed to give some examples of its application: If, for instance, he wishes to increase the hardness and durability of the wood, and prevent dry or wet rot, he introduces coarse pyrolignite of iron. This is a cheap substance, as coarse pyroligneous acid is produced in abun dance in the charcoal works, and may he converted into py rolignite of iron by putting it in simple contact With iron. This substance also contains a quantity of creosote, which also hardens the wood, acts • as an antiseptic, and resists insects. To diminish the expansion and contraction of tim ber, and at the same time to preserve its suppleness and make it less combustible, earthy chlorurets are used as a cheap pre paration. The mother water•of salt marshes has been used for that purpose with success. By employing coloring mix tures, different shades can be given to the color in almost every variety. Pyrolignite of iron produces a brown tinge, and tannin addeato this produces an inky color, blue, black, or grey. By using first pyrolignite of iron, and then prussi ate of potash, Prussian blue is produced. Acetate of lead and chromate of potash in succession, make a chrome yellow. Variegated shades of blue, green, yellow, and brown may be made by the successive introduction of pyrolignite of iron, prussiate of potash, acetate of leadi and chromate of potash. —Railway Magazine. ETCHING ON GILDED COPPER PLATES.—We noticed in a former number, a suggestion made in the Faaal, Brussels paper, for the application of the new process of gilding cop per by galvanic electricity, to the purposes of etching. This has since been carried into successful operation, as appears by the following extract of a letter : from Professor de la Rive to M. Dumas, which was read at the meeting of the French Academy of Sciences, on the 14th inst. :—An *engraver, M. Hammann has just made a successful applicatioh of any pro cess of gilding to etching. Instead of covering the copper plate intended for the etching with wax, he covered it with gold; he then traced the outlines of his drawing on the sur face of this plate, uncovering the film of gold from ev place over which his tracer pasmed. He then pours aquafortis, which adhered to and corroded the copper in every part Where it was eliposeci. I send you a specimen of an engraving executed by this process. This process appears Fn r.necoc¢ ctirtiv sitivAntAgeS over the ordinary method. In ed on the the first place, the coating of gold being permanent, the plate can be corrected should :here be any defects found in the first " biting in" of the plate. In the common process, when the wax is once remove! , it becomes very difficult to make any corrections. Further; the lines which can be traced on the coating of gold ate much finer and more sharp than it is possible to make then on wax ; this is a great ad vantage. It appears that thegilding with mercury for this purpose, besides its being mich more expensive, does not possess the same advantages,, aid cannot be so easily applied for this purpose.—lnventor' s Advocate. SIR GEORGE CAYLEY'S AIR ENGINE.—The following description of a new engine to be propelled by heated air, the invention of Sir George Cayley, is given in the Polytech nic Journal :—Both in England and France many unsuccess ful attempts have been made to convert air into a Motive power; Sir George Cayley his at length succeeded. The public will have an opportunty of judging for themselves of the value of this discovery ! so soon as a locomotive car riage, now in progress of manufacture, can be got ready. We should have postponed tie hasty description we annex until the engine was publicly et work, were we not desirous of disconnecting the late stean-carriage accident in Sloane street, with the invention in i4Uestion, with which it has nothing in the world to do. Air is the motive power of the new engine—steam was the motive power of the carriage which met with the accident. The principle of the new en gine is easily explained—the details 'we .reserve for another occasion. Air is compressed by the pump into a receiver, to be used when wanted. Motion is communicated to the wheels by pistons acted upon by the air, which is rarefied by heat in its passage from the receiver to the cylinders, where it acts upon the piston rod much in the same way that steam does. Thus, to communicate motion to a piston, a portion of the air in the receiver is forced by compression into tubes subjected to heat, and from. thence, in its rarefied state, it rushes to the cylinders as the only place of escape. Motion is accordingly produced. An experimental engine, upon this plan, was exhibited last year to Messrs. Babbage, Rennie, Gordon, Bramah, Renton, and others. It worked with great steadiness at rather above a. five-horse power. The power, which was under perfect control, was capable of immediate increase or decrease, the expense of fuel following exactly the same ratio as the power, which is one of the pe culiarities of this engine. If it were stopped for.a minute, or any number of minutes, or for half an hour, no loss of fuel took place ; that is to say, no loss takes place while the engine stands idle. No water is required—a serious consi deration ; and the consumption of coke is only from four to five pounds weight per horse power per mile. • This experi mental engine, though perfect as to power, was found incon venient, in consequence of some of the dust from the coke getting into the working cylinders, which caused them to require more lubrication than was convenient for practical purposes.. The engine. now budding is constructed upon a plan to do away with this which appears to be the only remaining impediment. to be overcome . The air-en g i ne , by obviating the necessity or carrying water, and by obtaining the full power from combustion in the most economical manner, bids fair to be applicable on many occasions where the steam-engine is inconvenient, and to vie with it in power.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 31. Prices of Butter continue fully as high as what we have quoted ; but the energies of some of the most enterprising members of the There appear Vil desperandam trade are considerably cramped by late failures however, to be a season of prosperity at hand SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, _DEc..3O. There' was a better show of good Beef and Mutton to-day than on the previous market day, and though this was the case, and with some quantity unsold at the close of the day, still both prime Beef and Mutton were a little dearer, nevertheless we do not alter our quotations from last week. Best Beef 61d to 7d; inferior, 5d 60. Prime Mutton, 6id to 7id.; Ewes and inferior, 51d to did per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, DEC. 30 Foreign.—A fair amount of business was done this week in the lower desciiptious of foreign wool, whilst the better sorts were little noticed. No alteration has taken place in prices. We arc altogether without arrivals this week, in consequence of the winds having proved unfavourable to vessels bound for this port. Scotch. —ln Scotch wools little or nothing has been doing. Imports this week, 285 bags; previously this year, 14,301; total, 14,580. LIVERPOOL CORN - MARKET, DECkNIBER 29. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.) A continuance of easterly winds has admitted but very partial arrivals form any quarter, and the imports of Grain. Flour and Oatmeal have been to a very trivial extent since Tuesday last ; but in the expectation of considerable supplies on a favourable change of wind, the millers and dealers have been very sparing buyers for their immediate wants, and sales have been made to a very limited extent here and in our country markets of Wheat, and of all other Grain. at about the prices, of this day week. The scarcity of superfine sweet Flour, and of Oatmeal, has enabled the holders to obtain an advance of is per sack and per barrel on the former, and of 6d per 240 lb on the latter article. The weather has continued severely frosty, so as to impede in. terior navigation, though not hitherto between this and Manches ter, and we have had no snow for fifty miles around us. This day is milder, and a thaw has apparently commenced. The duty on Oats, Rye, Beans and Peas from foreign ports is increased since Friday last is 6d each per quarter; on Wheat and Barley no alteration. Some few sales have been effected of Flour in bond for export and also on speculation at last quotations. The value of Grain in bond continues nominally as free, deducting the duty. The supply of this day's market was increased by the arrival of several cargoes of Foreign Wheat from London yesterday; cf which, and of most other articles in the trade, sales were made to a very moderate extent ; also, of Flour and Oatmeal at prices nearly the same as this day week.
