We have seen most of the works published of late years by British travellers, detailing their "impressions" during their sojourn in the United States—including, of course, Mrs. Trollope, and more latterly, the versatile Dickens 'hut we do not remember having derived so much amuse ment, and we may add instruction, in respect to the " pe culiarities" of American life, as from a perusal (though .testy) of the two handsome volumes before us. The two authors whom we have named are generally considered to have dealt—from the force of national prejudices—too largely in what may be called romance of character: both - of them having mingled almost exclusively with the re ublican and foreign aristocracy of the country, drew their 44 experiences" more especially from those classes; and indulging in the usual latitude of flying voyageurs—if we may judge from various favourable specimens of the 44 natives," both here and their own landsLliave furnished pictures generally overcharged in colouring, or imperfectly - finished in detail. This is the besetting sin of most tour ists; and though our present author is not entirely free from a similar charge, we think, that if offence there be, it is of a mitigated nature—his expositions bearing that im « press, which evidently approximates to truth. The author, who, we may state—having learned the fact sub rosa—is a talented, literary, and scientific townsman, in fact pleads guilty, in his preface, of the probability of " a few carica tures." but adds, and we think properly, that " these may be considered attributable to the " art of compres -sion." " If," he continues, " three of the most comical Kentucks' be rolled into one, a caricature will certainly be produced • but, at the distance taken by r e a d ers t o view a pen and ink sketch, the likeness will be the more striking. Beyond this no exaggeration is admitted." The "peculiarities," he further states, are by Uncle Sam, (U. S.) as he himself develoilbs most of them in dialogue, .The papers, he informs us, comprising the volumes. were written from memoranda made by a mercantile tourist during a twelve month's residence in the United States." An enthusiastic republican, detesting the mere 'epithet of subject, previous to his residence among citizens, ixe returned to England to consider, and ultimately to laugh at his former republican phantasies, perfectly satis fied tbs.' " the best of all possible republics," to use the words of La Fayette, " is a monarchy surrounded by re publican institutions." lie thus concludes his prefatory . remarks—" That the United States do not form the best ofvepublics, let Slavery and Repudiation cry aloud ! And • if there shonld be a reader vriso cannot admit the fact from the mere enunciation of these two words, it is humbly, but earnestly recommended by the present author, that he should visit America."—We have not ourselves been in the United States, but a first glance at these papers— which may be called a series of lively sketches, that may be dipped into at any chapter and almOst at any page— *scited in us some surprise that the author could, after so comparatively short a residence in that country, throw together, in so handsome a form, such a body of inforrna tiers and amusement—still preserving, in the venous cha racters he introduces, that keeping and vraisemblance in action and in idiom, which cannot be the work of inven tion, but clearly of lively impressions derived from the reality, and therefore entitled to almost implicit credence. The marvel is, however, explained on a closer perusal; • for we find that while other recent tourists were co fined, by circumstances or taste, to the study of exclusive and nearly exclusively independent grades of society, our author " conversed" (to use a Yankee phrase) with the middle and lower orders, as well as occasionally with the high and wealthy. He ming ed with them at their town and country inns and places of amusement, and in their private domtciles ; spent his long winter evenings amongst them; partook of their localities, and humoured their foibles —so that, though still maintaining his national integrity, and on all possible and safe occasions " speaking out" against the abominations of slavery, the " repudiation" of just debts, and the eternal and empty brag of "beat ing the British,"—he contrived to keep himself within a =whole skin ; to command from the more enlightened a degree of grateful respect •, and, if we mistake not, to ex cite impressions amongst his opponents in conversation that staggered their previous crude and erroneous con victions, and led not a few of them to a more correct esti mation of " the old country" and its inhabitants, and a less boastful assumption of the superiority of their own and its institutions. There are many graphic and highly amusing descriptions of men, manners, and scenery, throughout the volumes • but we have not space to par ticularise. The traits of character are well sustained, and esotne of the scenes rendered even dramatic by the intro duction of dialogue. American idioms, anecdotes, and `".Jonathanisms,' are copious, and many of them highly original and ludicrous. A vein of good humour prevails throughout; and, although the author appears to us to have sometimes hit rather bard, and to have lost sight of the fact that there are " peculiarities" in our own coun try as well as in that of Uncle Sam, we forbear expressly pointing out these trifling aberrations, in consideration of our inability within our circumscribed space, to do entire justice to the work in the aggregate. One or two ex tracts will be found elsewhere, and we have a few others 4.. rt reserve. Present State of Aural Surgery: a Lecture at the Royal Dispensary. By John Wanison Curtis. 4th edition. Whittaker. This is an interesting pamphlet, and the suggestions it contains on the subject of the public heal,h, are very use ful. He touches on the subject of parks and squares— .and some good hints may be gathered from perusing them. He alludes to the Prince's Park here in terms of eulogy. Altogether, though the style savours rather of -egotism, yet it is a service to the public; and his remarks , on the deaf and dumb ought to have been carried .out earlier in London and elsewhere, we hope it will not be lost sight of in our own schools for these pitiable objects -of Heaven's restricted hand. SELECTIONS. THE POOR SCHOLAR'S RETURN AFTER ORDINATION. From Carleton's Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry. No sooner was his ordination completed, than the long suppressed yearnings after his home and kindred came upon his spirit with a power that could not be restrained. He took leave of his friends with a beating heart, and set out on a delightful summer morning to revisit all that had been, notwiihstandilig his long absence and severe trials, -so strongly wrought into his memory and affections. Our readers may, therefore, suppose him on his journey home, and permit themselves to be led in imagination to the - house of his former friend, Lanigan, where we must lay the scene for the present. Lanigan's residence has the same comfortable and warm appearance which always distinguishes the habitation of the independent and virtuous man. What, t, however, can the stir, and bustle, and agitation which prevail in it mean ? The daughters run out to a little mound, or na tural terrace, beside the house, and look anxiously to— wards the road ; then return, and almost immediately ap pear again, with the same intense anxiety to catch a glimpse of some one whom they expect. They look i keenly ; but why s it that their disappointment appears to be attended with such dismay? They go into their fa ther's house once more, wringing their hands, and betray ing all the symptoms of affliction. Here is their mother, too, coming to peer into the distance, she is rocking with - that motion peculiar to Irishwomen when suffering dis tress. She places her open hand upon her brows that she way collect tier sight to a particular spot ; she is blinded by her tears ; breaks out into a low wail, and returns with -something like the darkness of despair (,n her counte nance. She goes into the house, passes through the kit chen, and enters into a bed-room ; seats herself on a chair beside the bed, and renews her low but bitter wail of sor row. Her husband is lying in that state which the pea santry know usually precedes the agonies of death. " For the sake of the Livia' God," said he, on seeing her, " is there any sign o' them ?" " Not yet, a suillish ; but they will soon—they must asthore, be here, an' thin your mind will be asy." " Oh, Alley, Alley, if you could know what I suffer for - *aid I'd die widout the priest, you'd pity me!" " I do pity you astore . but don't be cast down, for I have my trust in God that he won't desart you in your 'last hour. You did what you could, my heart's pride; you bent before him night an' morning', and sure the poor neighbour never wint from your door widout lavin' his blessin' behind him." The dying man raised his hands feebly from the bed clothes; " Ah !" he exclaimed, " I thought I did a grate dale, Alley : but now—but now—it appears nothin' to -what I ought to a' done when I could. Still, avourneen, my life's not unpleasant when I look back at it; for I can't remimber that I ever purposely offinded a Livia' mor- EA • All I want to satisfy me is the priest." " No, avourneen, you did not ; for it wasn't in you to offind a child." ... _ . _ ----- -" Alley, you'll pardon and forgive me acushla, if ever —if ever I did what was displasin' to you! An' call in the -childhre, till I see them about me—l want to have their forgiveness, too. I know I'll have it—for they .wor good childhre, an' ever loved me." The daughters now entered the room, exclaiming ‘ Ahie dheelish, (beloved father,) Pether is comin' by himself, but no priest! Blessed Queen of Heaven, what -will we do! Oh! father darlin', are you to die widout the Holy Ointment?" The sick man clasped his bands, looked towards heaven, and groaned aloud. Oh, it's hard, this," said be. " It's hard upon me! . Yet I wont be cast down. I'll trust in my good God ; I'll trust in his blessed name!" His wife on hearing that her son was returned without the priest, sat, with her face shrouded by her apron, weep ing in grief that none but they who know the dependence • which those belonging to her church place in its last rites • can comprehend. The children appeared almost dis- Aracted ; their grief had more of that stunning character which attends unexpected calamity, than of sorrow for Aane who is gradually drawn from life. At length the messenger entered the room, and almost .choked with tears, stated that both priests were absent .that day at Conference, and would not return till late. The hitherto moderated grief of the wife arose to a pitch much wilder than th e d ea th o f h e r husband co u ld. un d er •:ordinary circumstanc es occasion. To die without abso lution—to pass away into eternity " unanointed, un . evealed" — without being purified from the inherent stains ..of humanity —was to her a much deeper affliction than her final separation from him. She cr i e d i n tones of the most piercing despair, and clapped her hands, as they do who weep over the dead. Had h e d ied in the calm confidence of having received the Viaticum, or Sacrament before -death, his ~decease would have had nothing remarkably • calamitous in it, beyond usual occurrences of a simil ar na ture. Now the g rief was intensely bitter consequence ,of his expected departure without the priest. tam sons and daughters felt it is forcibly as his wife; their lamenta tions were full of the strongest and sharpest agony. For nearly three hours did they remain in this situation ; poor Lanigan sinking by degrees into that collapsed state from which there is no possibility of rallying. He was merely able to speak, and recognise his family ; but every moment advanced him, with awful certainty, nearer and nearer to his end. A great number of the neighbours were now assembled, all participating in the awful feeling which predominated, and anxious to compensate by their prayers for the ab sence of that confidence derived by Roman Catholics dur ing the approach of death, from the spiritual aid of the priest. Th ey were all at prayer; the sick room and kit chen were crowded with his friends and acquaintances, many of whom knelt out before the door, and joined with loud voices in the Rosary which was offered up in his be half. In this crisis were they, when a horseman, dressed in black, approached the house. Every head was instantly turned round, with a hope that it might be the parish priest or his curate ; but, alas ! they were doomed to ex perience a fresh disappointment. The stranger, though clerical enough in his appearance, presented a counte nance with which none of them was acquainted. On glancing at the group who knelt around the door, he ap neared to understand the melancholy cause which brough them together. " How is this?" he exclaimed. sick or dying ?" " Poor Misther Lanigan, sir, is jist departin', glory be to God ! An' what is terrible all out upon himself and family, he's dyin' widout the priest. They're both at Conwhirence, sir, and can't come—Mr. Dogherty an' his curate." " Make way !" said the stranger, throwing himself off his horse, and passing quickly through the people. " Show me to the sick man's room—be quick, my friends—l am a Catholic clergyman." In a moment a passage was cleared, and the stranger found himself beside the bed of death. Grief in the room was loud and bitter ; but his presence stilled it despite of what they felt. " My dear friends," said he, " you know there should be silence in the apartment of a dying man. For shame ! —for shame! Cease this clamour, it will but distract him for whom you weep, and prevent him from compos ing Isis mind for the great trial that is before him." " Sir," said Lanigan's wife, seizing his hand in both hers, and looking distractedly in his face, " are you a priest ? For heaven's sake tell us I" " I am," he replied ; " leave the room every one of you. I hope your husband is not speechless ?" " Sweet Queen of Heaven, not yet, may her name be praised! but near it, your Reverence—widn little or no time ofit." Whilst they spoke, he was engaged in putt;ng the stole about his neck, after which he cleared the room, and commenced hearing Lanigan's confession. The appearance of a priest, and the consolation it pro duced, rallied the powers of life in the benevolent farmer. He became more collected; made a clear and satisfac tory confession ; received the sacrament of Extreme Unction ; and felt himself able to speak with`tolerable distinctness and precision. The effects of all this were astonishing. A placid serenity, full of hope and confidence, beamed from the pale and worn features of him who was but a few minutes before in a state of terror altogether in describable. When his wife and family, after having been called in, observed this change, they immediately parti cipated in his tranquility. Death had been deprived of its sting, and grief of its bitterness; their sorrow was still deep, but it was not darkened by the dread of future mi r sery. They felt for him as a beloved father, a kind hus band, and a dear friend, who had lived a virtuous life, feared God, and who was now about to pass into happiness. When the rites of the church were administered, and the family again assembled round the bed, the priest sat down in a position which enabled him to see the features of this good man more distinctly. " I would be glad," said Lanigan, " to know who it is that God in his goodness has sent to smooth my bed in death, if it 'ucl be plaisin', Sir, to you to tell me ?" " Do you remember," replied the priest, "a young lad whom you met some years ago on his way to Munster, as a poor scholar ? You and your family were particularly kind to him ; so kind that he has never since forgotten your affectionate hospitality." "We do, your Reverence, we do. A mild, gentle crathur he was, poor boy. I hope God prospered him." " You see him now before you," said the priest. " I am that boy, and I thank God that I can testify, however slightly, my deep sense of the virtues which you exer cised towards me ; although I regret that the occasion is one of such affliction." Is there any one here The farmer raised his eyes and feeble hands towards heaven. " Praise an' glory to your holy name, good God !" he exclaimed. "Praise an' glory to your holy name! Now I know that I'm not forgotten, when you brought back the little kindness I did that boy for your sake, wid so many blessings to me in the hour of my affliction an' sufferin' ! Childher remimber this, now that I'm goin' to lave yez for ever! Remimber a l wa y s t o h e lp th e stran ger, an' thim that's poor an' in sorrow. If you do, God won't forget it to you ; but will bring it back to yez when you stand in need of it, as he done to me this day. You see, childhre dear, how small thrifles o' that kind depend on one another. If I hadn't thought of helpin' his Reve rence here when he was young and away from his own, he wouldn't think of callin upon us this day when he was passin'.. You see the hand of God is in it childhre : which it is, indeed, in every thing that passes about us, if we could only see it as we ought to do. Thin, but I'd like to look upon your face, Sir, if it's plaisin' to you ? A little more to the light, Sir. There, I now see you. Ay, indeed, it's changed for the betther it is—the same mild, clear countenance, but not sorrowful, as when I seen it last. Suffer me to put my hand on your head, Sir; like to bless you before I die, for I can't forget what you undhertook to do for your parents." The priest sat near him ; but finding that he was scarcely able to raise his hand to his head, he knelt down, and the farmer, before he communicated the blessing, in quired—. " Musha, Sir, may I ax, wor you able to do anything to help your family as you expected?" " God," said the priest, " made me the instrument of raising them from poverty; they are now comfortable and happy." "Ay ! Well I knew at the time, an' I said it, that a blessin' would attind your endayvours. An' now resave my bleminl. May you never depart from the right way ! May the blessin' of God rest upon you for ever—Amin ! Childhre, I'm gettin' wake ; come near me till, till I bless you, too, for the last time ! They wor good cl;ildhre, Sir, Sir—they were ever, an always good to me. an' to their poor mother, your Reverence; an'—God furgive me if its a sin !—but I feel a great dale o' my heart an' my love fixed upon them. But sure, I'm their father, an' God, I hope, will look over it ! Now, darlins, afore I bless yez, I ax your forgiveness if ever I was harsher to yez than I ought!" The children with a simultaneous movement encircled his bed, and could not reply for some minutes. " Never, father darlin' ! Oh, never did you offind us ! Don't speak in that way, or you'll break our hearts; but forgive us, father asthore ! Oh, forgive an' bless us, an' don't remimber against us our folly an' disobedience, for it's only now that we see we waru't towards you as we ought to be. Forgive us an' pardon us !" He then made them all kneel around his bed, and with solemn words, and an impressive manner, placed his hand upon their heads, and blessed them with a virtuous father's last blessing. He then called for his wife, and the scene became not only more touching, but more elevated. There was an exultation in her manner, and an expression of vivid hope in her eye, arising from the fact of her husband having received, and being soothed by, the rites of her church, that gave evident proof of the unparalleled attachment borne — by persons Of her class to the Catholic religion. The arrival of our hero had been so unexpected, and tl e terrors of the tender wife for her husband's soul so great, that the administration of the sacrament almost super- ceded from her heart every other sensation than that of devotional triumph. Even now, in the midst of her tears, that triumph kindled in her eye, with a light that shone in melancholy beauty upon the bed of death. In propor tion, however. as the parting scene—which was to be their last—began to work with greater power upon her sorrow, so did this expression gradually fade away. Grief for his loss resumed its dominion over her heart so strongly, that their last parting was afflicting even to look upon. When it was over, Lanigan once more addressed the priest : " Now, Sir," he observed, but with great difficulty, " let me have your blessin' an' your prayers ; an' along wid that, your Reverence, if you remimber a request once made to you"— " I remember it well," replied the priest; "you allude to the masses which you wished me to say for you, should I ever receive orders. Make your mind easy on that point. I not only shall offer up mass for the repose of your soul, but I can assure you that I have mentioned you by name in every mass which I celebrated since my ordination." He then proceeded to direct the mind of the dying be nefactor to such subjects as were best calculated to com fort and strengthen him. . _ . About day-break the next morning, this man of many virtues, after struggling rather severely for two hours preceding his death, passed into eternity, there to enjoy the recompense of a well-spent life. A dancer said to a Spartan "You cannot stand on one leg so long as I can." '• Perhaps not" said the Spartan, "but any goose can."

VOTING BY BALLOT IN THE UNITED STATES.—Much has been said on the subject of the ballot in America : some English tourists have declared that the Americans absolutely adore it. I can only say I did not see any strong feelings on the subject, and I cannot think the bal lot, as the Americans work it, effects the great objects, secrecy and security against the undue influence of em ployers. A merchant or storekeeper can say to his clerk, " I expect you are going to vote the democratic Whig ticket. Here it is, tied with a red string, and Mr. Smith will go with you, so that you can both vote together." This Mr. Smith, being a stanch Whig, takes care that the clerk shall vote that ticket, and accordingly puts it into the voter's hand when at the window, and the crowd around see on which side he is voting by the red string. Besides, politics are such a never-ending subject of con versation in the States, that every one has frequently to confess to what party he belongs, and secrecy, cann ot be indulged to any extent. I overheard a " bos (master) joiner observe to one of his men, " I say, neighbour, Silas tells me ,you are a locofoco." "No I aint," was the answer, " I went the whole anti-ticket last fall." " Well, 1 expect Silas ought to know, as you both board in the same house." " Why I was locofoco two years ago, but' I came round when I lined your liner's store." --Uncle Sane ;Peculiarities, SECOND EDITION. Standard-of/ice, Twelve o'clock. IartER,IND. Owing to a new arrangement of the Dublin mails, our usual papers and expresses have not been received ; but we have been kindly favoured by Mr. Aylward, news agent, with the Dublin Evening Pilot of last night, from which we quote the following : COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Tnis DAY. This being the first day of Term, and it being supposed that Mr. O'Connell and his co-conspirators would be called up for judgment. there was a large crowd assem bled round the courts from an early hour, and the excite ment appeared much greater than during the trials. Mr. Justice Burton came into court at eleven o'clock, and the gentlemen who were about being called to the bar having been sworn before him he retired, and came into court again at half-past one o'clock, accompanied by Mr. Justice Perlin, when the usual business of swear ing-in the jurys was completed. The court, which was densely crowded, remaining in breathless silence, evident ly expecting that some reference would momentarily be, made to the case of the Queen against O'Connell. At this time none of the Crown Counsel appeared in Court, nor were any of the traversers present. Mr. Whiteside, Q. C., was the only one of the traversers' counsel who was in court, and as a large bag with a pile of briefs lay before him, every one seemed to expect that he would rise for the purpose of alluding to the State Trials. Mr. Tomb, Q. C., and Mr. Martley, Q. C., both coun sel against the traversers in the State Trials, shortly after took their places at the table, and every eye was fixed on them in anticipation. Mr. Whiteside then rose, but it was only for the purpose of moving for the appointment of a commissioner of affi davits in the town of Newry; and after a few other mo tions of no public interest, the Court was adjourned until to-morrow, without any mention having been made of the State Trials, to the evident astonishment of all present. P.S.—A side-bar rule was entered this day, calling upon the traversers to come up for judgment on Friday. The sentence, therefore, hangs over until that day, when no doubt some new legal expedient will be resorted to, to gain a few more days' delay. Much difference of opinion prevailed as to the verdict likely to be pronounced, the prevailing opinion amongst the O'Connellites being that the arch-traitor would only be called upon to give bail for his good behaviour, which, however, it was thought would be a greater punishment to him than imprisonment or fine, or both. THE WILL FORGERIES CASE. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT .- -Y ESTERD AY. At ten o'clock Mr. Baron Gurney, Mr. Justice Wil liams, and Mr. Justice Maule, took their seats in the Court, and on Barber, Fletcher, and Mrs. Dorey, being laced in the dock, the latter fainted away, and it was some time before she recovered. The Attorney-General was not in attendance, but was represented by Mr. Earle, Q.C., with whom were Messrs. Clarkson and Bodkin. Mr. Baron Gurney proceeded to sum up. Having ex plained the nature of the indictment and given an outline of the transaction, which the evidence for the prosecution went to shew the prisoners had been connected with, he proceeded to remark on the main features of the case. At the conclusion of the Learned Judge's charge, the jury retired to deliberate on the verdict. After an absence of a quarter of an hour, they returned into court with a verdict of " Not Guilty" against William Henry B a rber, and " Guilty" against Josua Fletcher and Georgiana Dorey.

The sales may reach 10 or 1200 bales at yesterday's prices. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Tnis DAY. (From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.) The arrivals into this port from Ireland, for the week ending last night, contain a limited quantity of Wheat, with a fair supply of Oats and Flour, and a large accession of Oatmeal ; but of anything coastwise we have little fresh in for to-day ; and beyond 8191 qrs. of Wheat, chiefly from various ports in the Mediterranean, with 3340 qrs. of Egyptian Beans, and 3050 barrels of States Flour, we have no imports from abroad. With frequent showers and mild genial weather, the face of the country in this direction is greatly improved of late ; which, added to the indifferent accounts repeated_from Mark-lane, and some cargoes or roreign Wheat, on which the 16s. duty is in the course of payment, decidedly coun teract all extensive operations in any branch of 'the corn trade here : we have accordingly to note this morning, a very dull, limited sale for Wheat of all descriptions, and a decline of full Id. per 701 b. from tne rates of Tuesday last. English and Irish Flour being also in very slow request, an abatement of ls. per sack was conceded ; and foreign, though mostly held at late prices, was rather de pressed in value. Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, remaining in the same languid state as before, were all nominally the turn cheaper. Oats, in like manner, received little attention, and the few trivial sales effected were at a reduction of id. per 451bs. from the rates of this day week. Oatmeal continued to meet some inquiry, but the holders refusing to give way more than 3d. per load, the transactions were unimportant.

THE POLKA. --It is reported, in " wheel about" cir cles, that Lord Brougham has visited Paris, in order to ascertain whether the new and fashionable, dance, " La Polka," contains any steps that might led to the Chief Barony. It can be danced either with, or without garters, the great object being to bend the kuee.—/Vornin9 C/4 "' nie/e, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE GUANO TRADE.--A sailor coming from Liverpool to Preston, who has been with a vessel for guano, states it to be a most lucrative speculation. He said that the vessel was ten weeks on its passage to Africa, nine weeks returning, and seven lading—altogether a few weeks over half a year. The article itself, he states, cost not a farth ing. The vessel carried 500 tons, which, at £8 per ton, would make £4,000. The expenses, be thought, would not exceed £500: but if we call them £l,OOO, the im portation of guano is not a bad speculation.—Lancaster Guardian. DEATH OF THE LAST OF THE HIGHLAND BARDS.— Died lately, at Gairloch, Rossshire, the celebrated Gaelic bard, Alasdair Buidhe Maclobhair, at the advanced age of eighty-four. He was poet to the lairds of Gairloch, from whom he bad a pension. Ile was a bard of great merit, but very few of his pieces have been printed. He may be considered the last of the Highland bards, with the solitary exception of the author of " Loch-Aic," Mac Coll. Alasdair Buidhe was at a wedding, some years ago, when a miserly gentleman observed that " the bards were extinct." "No," said Alasdair, "but those who rewarded them are gone l"—Scotlish Guardian. SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S HULL REMINISCENCES.—We have before us an electioneering squib of 1813, when Mr. Graham was a candidate for Hull, on something more than Whig principles. It was issued by the Tories, and is in the form of a playbill, setting forth the performance of the Road to Ruin, A grand miscellaneous piece, writ ten by Dr. Watson, and received with tumultuous ap plause last year at the Spa Fields." The principal cha racters—Guy Faux, Tom Paine, Despard, arid Jack Cade —are personified by the friends of the candidate, who him ' self enact s the part of General Ludd. Can a recollection of this squib have been Hitting through the mind of the Netherhy Baronet, when he spoke of Jack Cade in a re cent debate? He declared, on the hustings at Hull, that he wished his right hand might forget its cunning when he forgot the principles he then avowed. It seems that the hon. baronet, if he fails to practise, bears in remembrance that he once held them, and this so far is a redeeming feature in his character.—Hull Rockingham. EXECUTION AT EDINBURGH.—On Wednesday week, the last sentence of the law was carried into execution in the case of James Bryce, for the murder of J o h n Gidd es . The wretched man was born in the p trish of Ratho, and was about 44 years of age. He had been twice married, and in defiance of all advice from his first and last wife went on in a course of vice, profligacy, and drunkenness. He bad been in 'he habit of borrowing small sums from time to time from his victim. On the last occasion he represented that he wanted the money to bury one of his children who had died ; but this was not true. The loan was refused. He stopped in the house all night, and early in the morning got up, and while Giddes, who still held back, was preparing some breakfast for him, he struck him down with the tongs, repeated his blows when he was down, and put a cord round his neck to strangle him should he come to life again. He then robbed the drawers of a purse containing £6 in silver. He con fessed the crime and admitted the justice of his sentence on the day before his execution. THE COLLIERS.—The Derbyshire colliers have turned out generally for an advance of wages. Their demand is four shillings per day, clear of all deductions. In Not tinghamshire also they are generally out, excepting where their demand has been complied with. In the Pottery district of Staffordshire little or no inconvenience is felt by the manufacturers for want of coal, at Henley, Burs lem, and Longport, but at Stoke, Fenton, and Longton, where the coal masters are firm in resisting the demands of the unionists, the course of business is much impeded, and both manufacturers and their worken are suffering in a greater or less degree. The colliers in South Stafford shire have not turned out. Their complaint is principally against the truck system, which was about to be investi gated before the magistrates. The colliers of Durham and Cumberland, whose yearly contracts expired on the sth instant, have struck work. Their complaints refer chiefly to the amount of wages, and to the exceedingly vexatious nature of the fines imposed upon them with the view of inducing them to perform their work skilfully and satisfactorily. From Leicester we learn, "No little sen- sation has been created in this town and neighbourhood by the expected strike of the work-people employed at the Whitwick, Snibston, and other coal-pits in this county." CHANGES BY THE DEkTH OF LORD AB I NGER.—Sir Frederick Pollock has been elevated to the post of Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and Sir William Follet has been appointed to Sir Frederick's late office of Attorney Gene rad Both these appointments have been approved of by Her Majesty. The new Chief Baron is to take his seat to-day, the first day of the term. The question now is whq is to be Attorney General in room of Sir William Follett, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Godson, and Mr. Stuart Wortley are all named, The general opi nion is in favour of Mr. Kelly. Mr. Thesiger stands next; while Mr. Wortley and Mr. Godson are scarcely named, and it is believed they have no chance. Then come the changes consequent on the demise of the late Chief Baron ? —first a vacancy for Horsham, whose present representa tive becomes a peer. Then the elevation of Sir Frederick Pollock has caused a vacancy for Huntingdon, while the move in favour of Sir William Follett has left Exeter with out a representative. Lastly, the appointment. of Mr. Thesiger to the office of Solicitor General, will make a va cancy either for Cambridge or Woodstock. Meanwhile, Sir William Follett's state of health has been such as to cause his friends considerable alarm. He has long been subject to pulmanary attacks, and at the close of one of his speeches on a recent occasion, it was discovered that he had burst a blood-vessel, the blood issuing in consider able quantities from his mouth.—London paper. QUEEN VICTORIA AND HER. CONSORT.—The League has a narrative by Adva,Brown," called a "Week in Windsor Forest' which we find the following passage —" Her Majesty attends personally to many affairs which used to be managed or mismanaged by others : so the report about Windsor says. There are people there, and many of them, who regret the departure of the days of George IV., when they could get more profitable jobs than they can get now; when, as a bricklayer told me they could get a pint of beer almost any how, any where, at any time ; ' but even these people are constrained to admit that the superior arrangement of everything under Her M jesty does more good than a profuse but uncertain expenditure would do. In every case where the Queen has personally interfered to make an alteration in any old usage, the change bas been directed by practical good sense, which none deny, save those, perhaps, who have been personally intefered with. Added to this, there is a kind consideration of the Queen and the Prince for the public who visit the Castle and the regal domain of the park. It is rare that any nobleman's park or near any private residence whatever, there is such fredom given to visitors as about the residence of Her Majesty. It is rarer still for strangers to be so kindly permitted to ap proach the head of the family, and to be bowed to, and their presence taken as if conferring a favour, as is the case with the Queen and the Prince. But rarest of all is it, that exalted personages, who, like them, fill the eyes of every body, should, by the force of virtue alone, compel every evil speaking tongue to speak well ofthem. " GREAT FOOT HURDLE RACE.—Jenkinson (the "Stag") and Smith (" the Pet,") the two greatest runners of the day, on Wednesday contended, in a race of 300 yards, with 15 hurdles, but in consequence of the great assem blage of persons present, and the extreme closeness of the race, a dispute unfortunately occurred. The contest was for £4O, the ground selected being the Bee Hive, at Wal worth, and long before the appointed hour for the strug gle some hundreds of sporting men, with a mixture of those who were finishing their holidays, congregated. At a little after four o'clock the men came to the post, Jenkinson winning the choice of ends and sides, and taking the inside place of nearly a circle round which the hurdles were arranged. They effected a good start, and went off at a rattling pace, side by side, over the first three or four hurdles. The " Stag" then jumped ahead, closely waited upon by his opponent, who in turn took up the running. It was a great race, in which neither party could get away, end on coming to the last hurdle the men took it together, or, if there was a shadow of difference, the " Stag" having it, and both touched the ground after the leap at the same instant. Both declared they had won; but the referee, whose great experience in these matters well qualified him for the post, declared that, owing to the pressure around him, and the closeness of the struggle, it was impossible for him to determine who had touched the ground first, and that it must necessarily be considered a dead heat. In this. opinion he was con firmed by the best judges and most unprejudiced persons on the ground. The stakes will be accordingly drawn. THE NEW FACTORY BlLL.—This bill, brought into the House of Commons by Sir James Graham and Mr. H. Manners Sutton, M.P. (the secretary and under secretary of state-for the home department), has made its appear ance. It is entitled " A Bill to Amend the Laws relating to Labour in factories. " and contains as many as 73 clauses, with schedules, &c. The act is to take effect on the:lst day of October next ensuing. The factory inspec tors are authorised to appoint certifying surgeons for the purpose of the act, and to fix the amount of their fees. Full powers are conferred on inspectors of factories for the purpose of ascertaining the real age of children to be employed therein. Special provi s i ons are enac t e d f or the annual lime-washing of factories, the protection of the workers in wet spinning flax-mills, the due guarding and boxing-off of machinery, and the gen:ral prevention of accidents, as well as for their cure if any should unfor tunately occur. The hours of working for children and young persons are to be observed with strict regularity. Respecting the peculiar clause relative to the time of working, we may safely state that children may be em ployed in factories at eight years of age ; and no child to be emplo!ed more than six hours and a half per diem, ex cept in certain cases (hereinafter specified); that no wo man above eighteen years is to be employed in any factory, save for the same time and in the same manner as "young person?' may be employed in factories ; and that work is to cease on Saturdays at half past four o'clock p.m., &c. In any factories in which the labour of young persons is restricted to ten hours a day, it will be lawful to employ eny " child " ten hours in any one day, on three alternate days of every week, provided that the child, shall not be employed in the same or any other factory on two succes sive days, &c. Provision is made for recovering the time lost by partial stoppages, and additional regulations made with respect to meal times, hollidays and the attendance of children at school. Silk mills are exempted from cer tain provisions of this bill, it beingenacted that any child above eleven years old employed solely in the winding and throwing raw silk may work without any proof of hiving attended a school for ten hours a day, but not after half past four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The 73d or "in terpertation" clause enacts that the factory act as amend ed by this act, and this act, shall be construed together as one act; that the word " child" shall be taken to mean a child under 13 years of age, and the words " young person, " a person aged 13 and under 18 years of age, &c ! Thus it will be seen that the disputed q uestion of " ten " or " twel ve " h ours, w hi c h has already been so strongly contested in the H ous e of Commons, is, in the present or new bill, ta c itl y cons i gne d t o th e s helf. The bill will be read a secoild time after the forthcoming Easter recess, THOMAS BOYS' SECOND IIINE ART DISTRIBUTION, 338 PiagES—VALUE £4216, Includity , additional Prizes, in Pictures, to the amount of Five Hundred Guineas, to be chosen from any Exhibi tion, or Commissions given to Artists by the parties obtaining the Prizes.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE CAPTA IN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE 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 roust 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 Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the 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 " Haviqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif ferent medleys are offered-499 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 Piddine, 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 " TUB SIGNATURE THUS," Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING, Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Package. 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, and as being the purest and most wholesome Green Tea im ported from China.
