" EDWIN AND EMMA " ious at- mes had bility of Paris: two hundred thousand livies were paid Yearly for a single house. The road to fortune was open to all the world : the nobleman ( laequey the lady beside her lc creditor, the banker beside the scene of excitement would appear sufficiently striking. What must it have seemed to those accustomed to the regime of the old court, with its starched habits, uncom promising etiquette, detestation of theory, and contempt of commerce ? Meanwhile, those who had occasion to examine the system more closely began to perceive its rottenness. The Duke de Noailles, provoked by some s lights from Law, collected all the notes he could lay his hp —A monument, bea in g the ricf +l,. wands on, and brOught away a heap of gold from the bank.

The trout of the lower lakes ascend the streams only in autumn; but the fell-trout and the tarn-trout first des cend about midsummer; then in August and September ascend again, passing through the lakes they may have traversed in their descent, up to the very highest pools of the remotest streams they can attain. While the larger trout are in the river, they monopolise the streams ; and though very small trout may be taken in the eddies and shallows, I have fished at such seasons in the Aadal river, and the Snarum, and in other streams of the inner val leys, taking many a splendid trout, but for days together of raising one under three-quarters of a pound. Where ; n the meantime I cannot tell; but bu, auiau Lavuu A•• • a few hours after the larger fish have passed, one or two tiny adventurers presume to peep at your fly. In a few hours more the stream swarms with them ; and then, if not satisfied with trout fishing for that season, you had best change your quarters : in summer, journeying down the river ; in autumn, higher up the course of the waters. For though here and there a stray giant may still be taken, the little fishes know full well that the main body of the big bullies has passed ; and they, therefore, give themselves great airs, playing the most extravagant pranks, and swaggering about in pools and dark mysteri ous eddies, where no little fish should ever be seen— ;mn,,tinpnce.—Remember, then, when fish- T deep and rapid stream Another very pleasing --ugraphy of Oliver Goldsmith, by John Forster, and a Life of Ge- The best article in the number, ho be that entitled le ts," which is a review of an excellent work by Colonel Roller : W e sha Of quotations; b entir struggle of the People with their .Ru- CHIVALROUS FEELING A PROTECTION TO A NATION. 4" contemporary writer has quoted the following obser ,:t/ti°,4 Of Burke in illustrating the spirit of the day : age of chivalry is gone : that of sophists, econo ipists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of ttipti of b ehold is extinguished for ever.

'THE OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.—Our opinion is that in this country an imitation of the laxity observed, np,ftcinnallv nerhans admired. on the Continent, would end innothindiess thin the final and total absorption of the Sabbath in the days of labour. If every person could indulge his own caprices on this day without any restraint except such as economical considerations might suggest, o place olamusenent, 1%. , AO • and very few places of trade, would remain closed. Every shop would soon be opened when it was found that half the world would be likely to buy, and• thus the rest of the Sabbath-day would be confined to one half of the po pulation instead of being extended to the whole. Nor would the destruction of its character stop here, for no person acquainted with our national disposition and ne cessities will conceive it probable that one class would see another making money seven days in the week instead of six without speedily experiencing a desire to imitate so lucrative a practice. When the sacred character of the day had once been obscured there would not remain be hind any influence strong enough to keep a thrifty trades man from his counter for twelve hours together. A man who would observe the day as a Sabbath would retrench it as a holiday, and thus competition and imitation would at length bring all to a common level of universal profanity and continuous toil. We are not prepared to say that Mr. Hindley's bill, or indeed that anv bill, can be ex pected to effect thoroughly the object desired, though they are somewhat more within the scope of direct legislation than such as were to have been compassed by the mea sure which was lost in the Lords. But the enactment will be undoubtedly serviceable, not only as a recognition of a high national duty, but also as seconding the impulse of popular opinion, which appears, by the petitions presented and by the representations made, to have set throughout the metropolis very decidedly and very creditably in favour of a stricter observance of the Sabbath than that which now prevails.— Times. PLEASURE. — PIeasure is nothing else but the intermis sion of pain, the enjoying of something I am in great trouble for till I have it. 'Tis a wrong way to proportion other men's pleasures to ourselves : 'tis like a child's using a little bird—" 0 poor bird, thou shalt sleep with me," so lays it in his bosom, and stifles it with his hot breath ; the bird had rather been in cold air : yet, too, 'tis the most pleasing flattery to like what other men like. 'Tis most undoubtedly true that all men are equally given to their pleasures; only thus, one man's pleasure lies one way, and anothers's another; pleasures are all alike, simply considered in themselves ; he that hunts or he that Ith ; they both please themselves at whereby we ourselves receive governs the common some benefit. As if a man place his delight in things that tend to the common good ; he that takes pleasure to hear sermons enjoys himself as much as he that hears plays; and could he that loves plays endeavour to love sermons possibly he might bring himself to it as well as to any tether pleasure. At first it may seem harsh and tedious, pleasure of some men, tobacco ; at first they could not abide it, and now they cannot be without it. Whilst you are upon earth enjoy the good things that are here, (to that end were they given,) and be not melancholy and wish yourself in hea ven. If a king should give you the keeping of a castle, with all things belonging to it, orthards, gardens, &c., and bid you use thm ; withal promise you that after twenty years to remove you to the court and make you a privy counci nvlrl rnflica fn PA nd sit - down - and whine, sh you were privy councillor, do you think the ,t of those fruits king would be pl drink, clothes, &c. used with you ?

THE COFFEE-HOUSES OF ZURlCH.—Zurich resembles Munich in the mixture of all ranks in its coffee-houses, reigningbu j rgomaster, the military officer, or the celebrated artist, and all the distinguished representatives of the radical party. In this unpretending freedom of inter the gay, renovated city has greatly the advantage hich still retains in every istocracy. unt of the diet, might sometimes be seen in coffee ; themselves amongst the civic radicals.

The number of coffee and beer-houses of all kinds in the town itself proves how important a part they play in Zurich life— much more so than even on the Rhine and in Western Germany. Political party spirit running so high, the coffee-houses form convenient centres of union, in which each citizen knows where to find his own friends and ad herents ; and the respective strength of each party is proved by the fact, that the liberal or radical coffee-houses overflow. whilst those frequented by conservatives are but sparingly visited. To the Zurich citizen, it seems, indeed, a necessary of life to haunt some coffee-house, where he may. find his friends, drink his , coffee and ~play men o, L11711111.1lACJ• navy caz cao day, read the Swiss journals—even sometimes a French or German paper, and hear news of every kind. Thus the coffee-houses supply, in some measure, the place of I . • • political public meetings, which take place seldomer in Switzerland than is generally believed, — a fact to be at tributed, probably, to the small number of large towns, since it is only in extraordinary cases that the country people can be excited so far as to assemble for public consultation. In the shooting and singing festivals, in the coffee-houses and clubs, the seeds are sown which are afterwards further developed in the elections, the bustle of which is, however, not so great as in England or America, though the people know well their rights, and are ever improving on that knowledge. I should be much mistaken also if, in Zurich, the influence of the people does not greatly increase ; and the more insight the peo ple acquire into their power, the more determined they will grow to use it, and the tendency will be stronger towards that state of things called the reign of th e mo b . —3lngge's Stritz,erland and the Swiss in 1847. 25, 1848. a hundred pounds :)elebrated action. ;E.—An action of day.

Martin and Michael Leary, two Irish men, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged for the murder of John Williams, in the parish of Swansea, on the 18th of May last. The unsettled state of the Continent has this season had the effect of directing the attention of summer tour ists to the beauties of home scenery ; and, as 'light na turally be expected, Wales attracts more than the usual complement of visitors. A COOL REQUEST.—In the House of Commons, on Thursday evening, Mr. Anstey presented a petition from a Mr. James Mills, of Paris, stating that he had a claim of £5,000 upon the French government for supplying pure water to the city of Paris, and praying the house to take measures to insure him redress On Monday, at Cardiff, Thomas Martin and Michael Leary were convicted of having, on the Bth of May, near Swansea, murdered John Williams and Jenkin Evan.

The Manx Liberal indulges in the following summary criticism :—" Mr. Barry Sullivan's performance of Mac beth, on Monday night, was, in our opinion, a most piti able failure.

She was also . . charged with attempting to destroy herself by taking the same deadly poison. The John Bull vouches for a fact that tells very little to the credit of Mr. Macready. That somewhat over rated actor was commanded some weeks ago to read the tragedy of " Antigone " before the Court at Buckingham Palace. He refused to obey the command upon some trumpery professional punctilio : music was to be mixed up with the performance, and so, forsooth, the great man, who could mutilate Shakspere to show himself off before royalty, could not descend from the stilts of his vanity even to oblige a Queen. On the 28th ultimo, the sister of Dr. Wolff, who has resided in Paris for the last ten years with her family, and who has been compelled to leave it in consequence of \ c, the late insurrection, arrived at t 1 e Parsonage House, at Isle Brewers, in a state of complet destitution, with her son, an engraver; and, as the D ctor is incapable of supporting them, he has made arrangements for sending them to America at his own expens)e, and will furnish them with letters of introduction to his friends in the United States, in order. teat they may obtain land from the government to cult e. M. Thalberg gave a morning concert on Monday last, in the Concert-room of her Majesty's Theatre, and found means to avail himself of the all-powerful attraction of Jenny Lind, notwithstanding her engagement to Mr. Lumley ; an engagement, by the way, which seems to be of a singularly engrossing nature, and to preclude her from even accepting provincial engagements on her own account, after the opera season is over—as was shown by the recent refusal to accept the magnificent terms ten dered by the committee of the approaching Norwich Fes tival. On Sunday week the Parish Church of Drayton, Berks, was a scene of confusion, excitement and laughter, on ac count of the banns of marriage being forbidden. After they had been published by the officiating clergymen, a man jumped up and said, " I forbid the b anns till Sep tember two years," and was going on with his grievance, but the dergymaa stopped him with the promise that he would hear him in the vestry.

At the present time there is no doubt that England has her agents scattered throughout all Europe, whose missions are of this character; and who, if success ful, would deluge Europe, with the blood of her people, and re-establish amid carnage and desolation Monarchy in France, and stop the progress of the principles of free government from making further headway in Europe.

They were repeatedly assured that there was not the least foundation for such a report, but the infuriated populace would not be satisfied, and the dren, on the peremptory demand of their parents, have been delivered up to them by the authorities, in two days, thus considerably reducing the number of pauper children in the Birmingham Asylum, which was much over-crowded. A BRIDEGROOM STRUCK WITH LIGHTNING.—The tempest in Suffolk, on Friday, was unusually severe. At Monks Eleigh, Mr. Thomas llaggar, wheelwright, had married that day Mrs. Barnard, widow of the late Mr. Barnard, shopkeeper, of that place ; and, as is usual on such occasions, they were celebrating the event with their friends. During the tempest, the greater part _of the company went outside of the house to view tl which was awfully grand, and in a short time lightnin, was struck to the ground, apparently dead.

He challenged any scientific man to deny the accuracy of this suggestion. RESTORATION OF STOLEN PROPERTY.—In the early part of the year 1846, Mr. Watts, builder, of Derby, proceeded to Tamworth station, for the purpose of paying his men engaged upon a contract on the Trent Valley line. In his carpet bag were fifteen £5 bank notes, together with books and papers. On alighting at Tamworth station, Mr. Watt , •-Qed I immediately telegraphed missed his carpet bag, an— - fact to Wilncote and Birmingham stations, but nothing was elicited to lead to the discovery of the missing pro perty until Sunday morning, when the Mayor of Derby received a note by post, enclosing £75. Another note was also sent to Mr. Watts, advising him to go and claim money, and stating that the interest at 5 per cent. should be also transmitted to him. Mr. Watts has received the money ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT.—On Thursday avi mpt at assassination was made, in Greenock, on the vinous at- person of Mr. John Gray, the town-clerk of tne uorougu.

CH ARTIST DISTURBANCES AT BRADFORD. — Ever since the last disturbances in Bradford, one of the most active among the Chartists, named Jefferson, better known by the name of Wat Taylor, has been out of the way. Ou to be re hny ha. ,xaminc o the sur mation that he was at home, with his wife and family, in Manchester-road ; and on Sunday morning three officers proceeded into this hot-bed of chartism, for the purpose of apprehending him. After they had taken him into cus tody, a mob assembled, consisting of several hundred persons. The prisoner was rescued, and the police were obliged to run for their lives, stones, brick-bats, and all ' ''• othe'r kinds of missiles being thrown at them. The mili tary were called out, and were in readiness in expectation of a similar attack; while the police were apprehending a few of the ringleaders in the affray ; but, fortunately, their services were not required. §ix . or seven prisoners were _ safely lodged in " durance vile," and by two o'clock the soldiers were ordered to their quarters. Yesterday week the prisoners were brought before the magistrates. when four men and one woman were committed to York, on' a charge of rioting, and for rescuing the prisoner from the police. THE POISONING AT A PUBLIC DINNER AT NORTH AMPTON.—Edmund Franklin and Edward Randall—the former a respectable confectioner, and the latter a respect able youth in his employ—were tried at the assizes at Northampton, before Lord Chief Justice Denman, on Tu esday last, charged with the manslaughter of_ Wm. Corn- field. The death of the deceased was caused by eating a quantity of blancmange, at a dinner given at the ordina tion of the Rev. G. Nicholson, an Independent minister, at Northampton, on the 7th of June last. The blanc mange, which was made by the prisoners, contained ar senic of copper (Scheele's green), commonly called " emerald green." It was used in the ornamental part of the blancmange, of which the deceased and several other persons partook. All who ate of the dish were made very ill, and the deceased expired at five o'clock the following morning. It was distinctly proved that the prisoners were aware of the deadly nature of this colouring matter, which they had nevertheless employed in the concoction of a dish intended to be eaten ; and it seems, moreover, that they had for years eaten the " emerald green" substance in ornamenting articles of confectionary, with a knowledge of its deleterious qualities, though they had at one time, upon having this fact especially pointed out to them, dis continued the practice. They were found guilty, and each Sentenced to three months' imprisonment. PAINFUL CASE.—A Dissenting print relates the fol" lowing circumstances alleged to have taken place at a recent interment at Bishop's Stortfort. A woman having died in childbirth, and her infant shortly after, both bodies were placed in the same coffin. The usual service having been read in Church, the undertaker informed the Clergyman that there were two bodies in the coffin, and, on the question being put, that the child was unbaptized. Upon this the clergyman is stated to have said, " then I cannot read the service till the infant is removed ; " in onsequence of which, the na -opened, and the corps coffth of the r REVOLT OF ( the only e life of and e adds, the coffin had ant placed in a of the it hich was dep service h,fl f upon the , and had b I had I-I ~ b ould attempt to cut( .eatened the T.

Upon ar riving at Forest Gate, the seaman forced his way through the booking-office, left the main road, proceeded towards the forest, partially undressing himself as he went along. It subsequently transpired that his name was Andrew Allison, that he had escaped from his friends, who were about taking him by the branch line to Edmonton, that within the last few weeks he had returned from Bermuda, and that the death of his wife and child on the passage, had affected his mind so much that he had several times attempted selfdestruction.

THE SUBTERRANEAN FIRE NEA R SIIEFFIELD.—SOMB account of this fire appeared in a former impression. A correspondent of the Sheffield Independent gives some further particulars. He says :—" Old people whom I have known well remembered a fire, which was burning under the Red Hill and adjacent fields, near a century since. Some of them who were living since the modern outbreak, fully believed this fire to be nothing but a con tinuation of the former one. Be this as it may, it is certain that for about thirty years past the fire has been undermining the ground on which many of the habita tions stand. Sometimes, for the space of a year or more, various individual houses have been so dreadfully filled with black or choke damp, that it has seen impossible to breathe unless the door was kept wide open.
