liottrp. I}IE EPIPHANY; " ST. MATTHEW IL, 10. " When they saw the star they rejoiced with great gladness. 7 ' " We lay in gross darkness, we knew not the light, Our deeds were so evil they shamed e'en the night; In blood and in cruelty swift were our feet, To vengeance we ran as the wild courser fleet. " To demons we offered the service of GOD, The land was defiled, and polluted the sod ; The wailing of infants affrighted the air, Groan answered to groan—the wild shriek told despair. " In the blood of a brother our hands we imbrued, No right was respected, each passion was rude ; Unchaste and unholy no fetter could bind, Tby tyrant of woman—the scourge of our kind. " The father that cherished us sank from our blow, The mother that bare us was left to our woe ; When in age and in weakness they needed most care, And Nature's own voice should have aided their prayer. " All hating and hateful we lived but for self, Onr pride was our idol, our god was our pelf; And in crimes that to mention would clothe us with shame, In our baseness we glorying gave them to fame. " Presuming on science, in error we strayed, And deeper the darkness that clouded we made. Thus blinded by folly, self-righteous and wise, We turned knowledge to sin, and our glory to lies. " To the stock or the stone guilty homage we paid, Found gods in the fountain, the grove, or the glade ; Nor sunk yet enough into folly and sin, We worshipped the errors that bell could but win. " To GOD that we know he beheld us afar, And lo! on oar midnight arose a bright star; To lead us to home, to our FATHER, and peace, And cause all our wanderings, our sorrows to cease. " Our light is arisen, the SAVIOUR of all — Ye islands, ye nations attend to His call. No longer the prodigal destined to roam, — The Gentle may enter his long banished home. " See, low at the feet of that holy babe cast, The mighty, the learned, have found him at last ; Desire of all nations, their priest and their king, Him promised of old who salvation should bring. " His meanness and poverty staggered them not, The finger of Heaven had pointed the spot, The joy that they feel is the joy 'of a world Beholding the banner of mercy unfurled. "Break forth into singing, ye far distant isles, Hell's fetters are broken. exposed are its wiles ; Joint heirs now with CHRIST, and the children of light, Oar GOD has restored us, and banished our night. " Bring offerings of righteousness, mercy, and truth, The ripe fruits of age and the promise of youth ; And warm be the prayer that the spirit of love On Judah may dawn and her darkness remove. " That one fold and one Shepherd, one kingdom of peace, May embrace every nation—each captain release ; Clothe earth once again, as in Eden she bloomed, And bloomed out for ever what justice had doomed. LITERARY NOTICES. The Belle Assemblee. Edited by Mrs. Cornwall Baron Wil son. Rogerson, Norfolk-street, Strand. Mrs. Wilson stands in a good position as a periodical writer and poetess. The Belle, so especially devoted to Les Belles, is fittingly edited by one of their own sex. Its con tents are varied, and generally of that cast that must prove most interesting to the class of readers for whom its pages are intended. The plate this month is entitled Edderline, representing a fair girl in a contemplative attitude. Profes sor Wilson contributes some sweetly descriptive lines. Amongst the contents we find—" A. Tale of the Inquisition," " Sweetly chimes the Vesper Bell," " Ballad Stanzas," " Where are They," " The Coquette," " Romance of His tory—Asia Minor," " Tributary Stanzas to the Infant Sappho," " Life," " A Poet's Musings," " Bessie Gor don," " Lines on a Cromlech, called ' Hell Stone,' near Portesham, Dorset," " Love," " Venetian Ballad," " The Swan," "The Outward Bound," "The Demon of the Castle," " Notes in the North, by a Northern," " The Old Maid in Love," " Donna Marina," " To the Union Jack," " A Tale of the Second Crusade," " Song of the Sea- Nymphs," "Greece,!'

The Sportsman contains many amusing articles. There is a good paper on the " Prospects of the Hunting Season." The Rough Rider, Touchstone, Mango, Major Calder Campbell Halifax, Rosslyn Cawdor, each contribute their usual quantum. " The Tariff Calendar" appears well ar ranged. The plates are excellent : one represents Blue Bonnet, the winner of the Great St. Leger, at Doncaster; the other is called " The Poacher's Guard," a dog watching two dead hares : the anxious expression of the dog waiting his master's approach is skilfully conveyed. The Farmers' Magazine. Rogerson, Norfolk-street, London. This number this month is enriched by containing a fine engraved portrait of Earl Spencer—that great encourager of agriculture. The other illustration represents a Cape sheep. Amongst the literary matter we find Reports of several Farmers' Clubs—On the formation of Peat Moss—On Pasture Lands and Manure—Agricultural Improvements—On Animal Manures—The Cape Sheep—The Butter Trade—Farming now, and Farming eighty years ago—lmportant Improvement in the Dynamometer —Wbitefield Example Farm— On Turnip Cultivation—On Sowing Peas—Llando very Agricul tural Society—The Corn Laws and the Tariff—On the state the Soil should be in when Seed is deposited in it—Plain and Practical Suggestions to the small Farmer, for Improving and Increasing his Manure, on chemical principles, and at little expense—Lecture on the Application of Science to Agriculture—On Feeding Horses and Cattle—Experiments on the produce of an acre of Wheat and the weight of Straw, leaving Stubble two inches, eight inches, and twelve inches high ; and on the best and tail Wheat used for seed—Dis cussion on Manures—Seed Wheat—On Draining and Sub soiling—Horse-shoeing—Restrictive Clauses in Leases—The late Discussion at Harleston—Transplantation of Turf — Agricultural Queries, Intelligence, Fairs, and Report— Calendar of Horticulture for November—Review of the Corn Trade during the month of October. Remarks on our present Position with Afghanistan and China. By Robert Wise, Esq. Whittaker and Co.. London. In our advertising columns this interesting and important work is announced. We gave, at the time of its publication, a lengthened notice of its contents, which precludes the ne cessity of any further extracts. We may, however, remind our readers that the profits of the work will be given to the fund now raising for the families of the brave fellows who fell at Cabul ; and, consequently, the purchaser of the " Re marks" will not only possess himself of much valuable in formation, but will also contribute to diminish the sufferings of the widows and orphans. We will, however, transcribe and give publicity to the following observations, which we have received in a letter addressed to us by the intelligent author : " Our leaders and our forces in China and Affghanistan were, by last accounts overland, assuming their respective proper positions for the purpose of re-establishing, in original and ancient glory, the insulted flag of England ; for opening up a full and free commercial intercourse with those nations, through the 'famed of yore' Indus river, in Cen tral Asia, and the mighty river Yangtse, in Central China ; and for the further purpose of hereafter holding such a con trol over China, and over the countries bordering on both sides of the Indus, as our government may deem fit for the ultimate security of Britain and India. " Two of the opulent cities at the mouth of the Yangtse river, China, mentioned at page 15 in my ' Remarks,' are, we know, cap t ure d— v i z ., Ch a po, from w he n ce the Japan trade is carried on, and Shanghai, the Liverpool of China; and it is reported in Canton by the Chinamen (who can receive accounts overland from the Yangtse river and Nan kin sooner than the English at Hong Kong can by sea) that Loo-chop, Flang-ehoo, and the mouths of the Imperial Ca nal (that open into Yangtse) are also in our possession, and held by ouriket ; as also Nankin—places also mentioned in page 15 of my Remarks.' " AN AMERICAN BAcrtwoonsmrty.—This was a thin-faced, spare-figured man of middle age and stature, dressed in a dusty drabbish-coloured suit, such as I never saw before. He cleft a path among the people on deck (we were nearly all on deck,) and, without addressing anybody whomsoever, so liloquised as follows:—" This may suit you, this may, but it don't suit me. This may be all very well with Down Easters and men of Boston raising, but it wont suit my figure no how ; and no two ways about that ; and so I tell you. Now !

' 'TARIETIES. CON bmium,ez-In what condition should persons ba who travel on the railway ? Wide awake / because the carriages run over the sleepers. Dr. Johnson, when in the fulness of years and knowledge, said, " I never take up a newspaper without finding some thing I should have deemed it a loss not to have seen ; never without deriving from it instruction and amusement." MARRIAGE : A HINT TO BACHELORS.—The Poor-Law Commissioners observe, in the Sanitary Report, that " mar riage improves rather than diminishes the probability of life." —[Mr. Chadwick is undoubtedly a bachelor.] " I say, Jem," said a ploughboy the other day to his com panion, " I know of a new fashion Mackintosh to keep out the wet." " What's'tliat ?" " Why, if you eat a red her ring for breakfast you'll be dry all day." A CROWDED 'Housß.—l never played to a full house in Dublin, says Mathews, but once, in Crow-street, and then they knocked down the door-keepers and got in for nothing. —Bunn's " Stage." A RAKE.—A captain of a vessel loading coals went into a counting-house, and requested the loan of a rake. The merchant, looking towards his clerks, said, " I have a num ber of them here ; but none of them would wish to be hauled over the coals." STING OF THE BEE.—It may not be generally known that whitening proves an effectual remedy against the sting of a bee or wasp. The whitening is to be moistened with cold water and immediately applied. It may be washed off in a few minutes, when neither pain nor swelling will ensue. A RECOGNITION !—Sonic time ngo two old women from the country met in the streets of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Thinking that they knew each other, yet not being perfectly certain. one of them at last broke silence and exclaimed, " Oh, hinny, ye thowt it was me, and aw thowt it was ye, and it's neither on us. Montpelier is situated on a bill, at the foot of which runs the little river Lez. Some pretend that this particular spot was fixed in honour of two females, whose sanctity induced them to seclude themselves from the world in a kind of her mitage, and that the mountain on which the city was thence called Mons Puellarum, the hill of the maidens. A wealthy butcher was playing the game of ecarte a few evenings since at the mansion of a city alderman, when a lady, who was betting on the game, leant over the back of his chair, and innocently asked a friend opposite, " How are stakes now ?" Mr. —, wholly absorbed in the game, quickly returned with the reply, " Very cheap ; rump stakes are now, madame, but a shilling a pound." THE MARCH OF INTELLECT:" You be going home, ba'ant'ee, zur," said Brooks, the other day, to a young per son who was about to visit Wales. " Yes, Brooke," was the reply. " You do go by staim, on the water, don't ee ?" " Yes." " Well, now, I never seed a staimer, but do they swem like other sheps?" " Swim 1 no ; they go along upon wheels." "On wheels, aye ? So I've heard? mortal big wheels they must have to touch the bottom of the sea, zur. I should very much like to see a staimer.—Somer set Gazette. - - EPITAPH, AND REPLY TO IL—ln the Vicarage of Croft Wakefield, there is a tomb-stone with the following epitapl inscribed upon it : ' " Remember me as you pass by : Its you are now so once was 1 ; As I am now so must you be, Therfore prepare and follow me." Under which the following has been written with chalk : " To follow you I'm not content, Unless I knew which way you went." A PERUVIAN EDITOR.—The editor of the Washingtonian temperance paper, published at Canton Ohio, gives the fol lowing description of Mr. Pike, a former partner of his, but now editor of the Circleville Watchman :—" Mr. Pike and I published a newspaper, in 1837, among the Miami Indians, in the state of Indiana. It was a great partnership that. We had two advance paying subscribers, one who liquidated his subscriptions with white beans, and the other with saw logs. Godfrey, the chief, took five papers, and could not .read a word. Our paper was called the ` Peru Forester,' and being printed in the woods that title was appropriate. The town of Peru had many magnificent names for its streets, such as Pearl, Broadway, &c., which streets exhibited the animating and bustling spectacle of stumps, trees, acd weeds, as high as a man's head. The stirring events which transpired in this interesting city imperiously demanded a couple of chro niclers, and Pike and I were at hand to discharge that im portant function. Pike wrote poetry, and I dipped consi derably into state politics, and discussed in a learned man ner every question of interest to the few settlers and Indians. Pike was a queer fish. He bad more irons in the fire than any mar, I ever knew. Besides being editor and printer, he kept the Broadway Hotel, was postmaster, justice of the peace, land agent, pettifogger, canal contractor, merchant, overseer of the poor, painter, had been a schoolmaster and a day labourer, was twice a widower, was brought up a Qua ker, and the last time I saw him he was a baptist preacher, had married a third wife, was an auctioneer, and what more I know not ! " MlNN.—Music must have been the gift of God. Man did not communicate to the extended wire its vibrations; man did not give to the surrounding air its undulatory mo tion ; man did not organize the ear to such exact responsive ness, or the brain to such acute sensibility of what the ear conveys. Man could not have made music, had God not intended it. The power was his, and the gift was his ; man has possession, and thinks it his own. It administers to his pleasures, it buys him applause of men, it feeds his unhal lowed passions, drives away thought, and helps to make him happy, in forgetfulness of what he is, and is to be. For these purposes, the worldly parent, if she find talent in a child, takes possession of it, expends upon it no small portion of another talent committed to her keeping, and occupies with it a fourth, or a sixth, or an eighth part of her children's years of youth,—perhaps the only years that ever will be theirs,—and her heart never misgives her, that she has per verted the gift, or defrauded the Giver of this talent. The Christian mother follows her example, though not with the same motive. The talent is now divested of all unhallowed purposes and dangerous effects. It is acquired, without va nity, and used without ostentation. Instead of leading the young performer into company, to exhibit. herself for admira tion, it now contributes to make the excitement of mixed society unnecessary, uy supplying her with innocent amuse ment at home. Never let the listener be supposed to say a word against the use that is made, in such families, of this delightful talent—the evening recreation of a well-spent day, the home festival of domestic cheerfulness and affection, or the solace, perhaps, of some anxious, lonely boor. I be lieve, that music stands thus in many families, entirely divested of every injurious application, and administering to one part of the Creator's purpose—the happiness of man. But I do question if it is made anywhere„ so much as it might he, subservient to the other—the service and honour of the Giver ; or even to the first, in the best and highest sense of the word, happiness.—The Listener; by Caroline Fry. LIONS IN AFRICA.—Our journey lay over a wild and dreary country, inhabited by Balalas only, and but a sprink ling of these. On the night of the third day's journey, having halted at a pool (Khokhole,) we listened on the lonely plain for the sound of an inhabitant; but all was silent. We could discover no lights, and, amid the darkness, were unable to trace foot-marks to the pool. We let loose our wearied oxen to drink and graze • but, as we were ignorant of the character of the company with which we might have to pass the night, we took a firebrand, and examined the edges of the pool, to see, from the imprints, what animals were in the habit of drinking there ; and with terror discovered many spoors of lions. We immediately collected the oxen, and brought them to the waggon, to which we fastened them with the strongest thongs we had ; having discovered, in their appear ance, something rather wild, indicating that, either from scent or sight, they knew that danger was near. The two Barolongs had brought a young cow with them ; and though I recommended their making her fast also, they very hu mouronsly replied, that she was too wise to leave the waggon and oxen, even though a lion should he scented. We took a little supper, which was followed by our evening hymn and prayer. I had retired only a few minutes to my waggon to prepare for the night, when the whole of the oxen started to their feet. A lion bad seized the cox, only a few steps from their tails, and dragged it to the distance of thirty or forty yards. where we distinctly heard it tearing the animal, and breaking the bones, while its bellowings were most pitiful. When these were over, I seized my gun ; but, as it was too dark to see any object at half the distance, I aimed at the spot where the devouring jaws of the lion were heard. I fired again and again, to which he replied with tremendous roars, at the same making a rush towards the waggon, so as exceed ingly to terrify the oxen. The two Barolongs engaged to take firebrands, advance a few yards, and throw them at him, so as to afford me a degree of light that I might take aim, the place being bushy. They had scarcely discharged them from their hands, when the flame went out, and the enraged animal rushed towards them with such swiftness that I had barely time to turn the gun. and fire between the men and the lion ; and providentially the ball struck the ground im mediately under his head, as we found, by examination, the following morning. From this surprise he returned, grow ling dreadfully. The men darted through some thorn bushes with countenances indicative of the utmost terror. It was now the opinion of all, that we had better let him alone if he did not molest us. Having but a scanty supply of wood to keep up a fire, one man crept among the bushes on one side of the pool; while I proceeded, for the same purpose, on the other side. I had not gone far when looking upward to the edge of the small basin, I discerned, between me and the sky, four animals, whose attention appeared directed to me by the noise I made in breaking a dry stick. On closer inspec tion, I found that the large, round, hairy headed visitors were lions; and retreated, on my hands and feet, towards the other side of the pool, when, coming to my waggon driver, to inform him of our danger, I found him looking, with no little alarffi, in an opposite direction, and with good reason, as no fewer than two lions, with a cub, were eyeing us both, apparently as uncertain about us as we were distrustful of them. They appeared, as they always do in the dark, twice the usual size. We thankfully decamped to the waggon, and sat down to keep alive our scanty fire,-while we listened to the lion tearing and devouring his prey. When any of the other hungry lions dared to approach, he would pursue them for some paces with a horrible howl, which made our poor oxen tremble, and produced any thing but agreeable sensa tions in ourselves. We had reason for alarm, lest any of the six lions we saw, fearless of our small fire, might rush in among us. The two Barolongs were grudging the lion his fat meal, and would now and then break the silence with a deep sigh, and expressions of regret that such a vagabond lion should have such a feast on their cow, which they anti cipated would have afforded them many a draught of luscious milk. Before the day dawned, having deposited nearly the whole of the carcase in his stomach, he collected the head, back-bone, parts of the legs, the paunch, which he emptied of its contents, and the two clubs which had been thrown at him, and walked off, keying nothing hut some fragments of bones and one of my balls , which had hit the carcase instead of himself. When it was light we examined the spot, and found, from the foot marks, that the lion was a large one, and had devoured the cow himself. I had some difficulty in believing this, but was fully convinced by the Barolongs point ing out to me that the footmarks of the other lions had not come within thirty yards of the spot ; two jackalls only had approached to lick up any little leavings. The men pursued the spoor to find the fragments, where the lion had deposited them, while he retired to a thicket to sleep during the day. I had often heard how much a large hungry hoe could eat ; but nothing less than a demonstration would have convinced me that it was possible for him to have eaten all the flesh of a good heifer, and many of the bones ; for scarcely a rib was left, and even some of the marrow-bones were broken as if with a h ammer . Mu c h has been written about African litenisr, ~aracter but the half has not been told. The following trait in may not be intrusive, or partaking of the marvellous, with which the tales of some travellers are said to ab ou • I give it as received from men of God, and men who have been experienced Nimrods too. The old lion when in compan y though they are with his children, as . the . natives call them, nearly as big as himself or when numbers together happ en to come upon ' creeps to the object, while upon game, the oldest or ablest if he be successful, w r ii h e i i l l e the others crouch on the grass : generally is, he retires from his victim, and lies down to breathe quarter of an hour ; in therest, forperhapsa meantime,ret!the and . the others draw around, and lie down at a respectful distance . When the chief has got his rest, be coinn.ences at the abdom e n and breast; and, a fter making havoc with the tit-bits of the carcase, he will take a second rest, none of the others P Having made a second g or ge , he othersretires,rtehseninilwatchingg to more. his motions, rush o n to th e r emainder, and it is soon de voured.

Morgan. MATRIMONIAL STATISTICS.—The following statistics of the ages of the 121,525 women married in Paris in the course of the last 18 years is given by one of the journals as having been verified by the registers of the Etat Civil. Between 12 and 15 years old there were 811 ; at 16 years, 1,920 ; at 17 years, 3,959 ; at 18 years, 5,816 ; at 19 years, 6,957 ; at 20 years, 7,610 ; at 21 years, 8,047 ; at 22 or 23, b e t w een 7,000 and 8000 ; at 24 or 25, upwards of 6,000 ; but at 26, 27, and 28, they scarcely exceeded 5,000. This decreasing progi•ession goes on, so that up to 31 years there were only 3,651 ; thence to 41 years. 1,798 ; at 42 years, 1,015 ; a t 48 y ears , 586 ; at 56 years, 226; at 60 years, 126; and during the 18 years there were 578 marriages of women aged 61 years and up wards. Another account shows that out of 1,000,000 mar ried in Paris, 521,653, being more than one-half, were mar ried before the commencement of their 26th year.—Galig nani's Messenger. THE Conic TREE.--This useful production is known in Spain by the name of " Alcornoque." Though of a very different appearance to the oak, it furnishes a wood of the same grain, and produces acorns not so bitter as ours, and which, as an article of food, the poorer classes do not always abandon to the hogs. It grows to the height of our apple tree, and spreads its branches much in the same manner, but the trunk is of much greater dimensions, and the foliage of a much darker hue. Its trunk and branches are covered with a thick ragged bark, which would seem to indicate disease ; the trunk alone, however, furnishes a bark of sufficient thickness to be of use in the arts. It is first stripped away in the month of July, when the tree is fifteen months old, but then it is of no use but to burn, and is only removed for the sake of producing a stouter growth. In the course of six or eight years the inner bark has grown into a cork of mar ketable quality, and continues to yield at similar intervals for more than a century. AN EASTERN TYRANT.—Having discovered an intrigue between a baker's daughter and a Hindoo, he ordered both parties to be baked in the oven, although in his own person he held out the worst possible example to his subjects. It is, however, to be doubted if be is altogether in his senses. His acts of tyranny are so audacious and so numerous, that I have never ceased to congratulate myself at having passed so successfully through his kingdom. In espionage he even appears to surpass the Chinese. From these men I received an account of the horrid dungeons in Bokhara, known by the title of " Kuna-Khanu„' Kuna being the name of the creatures which attach themselves to dogs and sheep (Anglice, ticks,) and which here thrive on the unhappy human beings who are cast in among them. The dungeons also abound in scorpions, fleas, and all kinds of vermin ; and if human subjects happen to be deficient, goats, or the en trails of animals are thrown in to feed them : so that the smell alone is in the highest degree noxious. One day suf fices to kill any criminal who is cast into these horrid dens; and a confinement of a few hours leaves marks which are never effaced in after life. The situation of the dungeon is below the ark or citadel in which the king resides.—Burnes' , Cabul. THE PENALTIES or FAME.—After dinner we went down to the railroad again, and took our seats in the cars for 'Washington. Being rather early, those me❑ and boys who happened to have nothing particular to do, and were curious in foreigners, came (according to custom) round the carriage in which I sat, let down all the windows, thrust in their heads and shoulders, hooked themselves on conveniently by their elbows, and fell to comparing notes on the sublect of my personal appearance, with as much indifference as if I were a stuffed figure, I never gained so much incompromising information with reference to my own nose and eyes, the various impressions wrought by my mouth and chin on dif ferent minds, and how my head looks when it is viewed from behind, as on these occasions. Some gentlemen were only satisfied by exercising their sense of touch ; and the boys (who are surprisingly precocious in America) were seldom satisfied even by that, but would return to the charge over and over again. Many a budding president has walked into my room with his cap on his head and his hands in his pockets, and stared at me for two whole hours ; occasionally refreshing himself with a tweak at his nose, or a draught from the water jug ; or by walking to the windows and inviting other boys in the street below to come up and do likewise : crying " Here he is 1" " Come on !" " Bring all your brothers !" with other hospitable entreaties of that nature.—Dicken's Ameri can Notes. The late Theodore Hook was often, as everybody knows, much " put to it" for the ways and means," and was in the general habit of dining out, not unfrequently indeed inviting himself to take " pot luck" with some friend or other, who he knew would like his society; but it was necessary some times to receive company " at home," when he usually put in requisition all the plate he could borrow. On one such occa sion, when his supplies were from various quarters, he obser ved a young baronet inspecting, somewhat closely, the crest on one of the silver forks, underneath which Hook's quick eye instantly caught the initials " A.S." (most likely the produce of some pawnbroker's warehouse) on which he coolly said " Oh, Sir Charles, that was one of my wife's family forks before we were married, Agnes Smith.' " The other fashionable guests assembled, not knowing anything about Hook's domestic matters, were conjecturing whether his wife was a Lincolnshire Smyth, on an Essex Smyth, or a York shire Smyth, when a noble Lord suddenly exclaimed, "by the way, Hook, I have a spoon with T. B.' on it." The wit, ncthing daunted, nor at all abashed' replied, " why the fact is, my Lord. those were my initials before we were mar ried, Theodore Brown ;' but having seeured such an excel lent wife as Miss Agnes Smith, with such a poor bait as I had to offer in the way of property, I immediately changed it to Hook, but we prefer keeping all the old family plate in tact." ~ REMUNERATION FOR MAGAZINE CONTRIBUTORS.—Six teen or seventeen years ago magazine writing was much more profitable than it has been for some time past. The proprietors of the leading periodicals rarely at that time paid a contributor, possessing more than the average tact and talent, less than twelve guineas per sheet. The average rate of remuneration for contributors of the first class was six teen guineas per sheet ; while those who possessed an aristo cratic title, in addition to their talents, and who consented to let their names be attached to their contributions, were paid as high as twenty guineas per sheet. No: was the high rate of remuneration given for contributions to popular periodicals sixteen or seventeen years ago, the only inducement which literary men had to turn their attention to that kind of wri ting ; there was then a great probability, provided the writer possessed versatility and talent, of getting ones name out on the list of stated contributors. It is now far otherwise in both respects. Three and four gunieas a sheet only are given for articles to one or two of our magazines which rank high. Five guineas in the instances to which I allude are the maxi mum amount of remuueration. One or two other periodicals give ten guineas, where they gave twenty. As regards the , stated, or even frequent insertion of one's articles, that is now out of the question, unless where private influences are I brought to bear. The secret of all this is explained by the fact, that sixteen or seventeen years ago there were but few competitors in the magazine field ; now it is overrun with persons ambitious of distinguishing themselves in that depart ment of literature.—Voseph Jenkins. The influence of kings passes not from the earth with their death. Though they are nothing, for good or ill, their skulls —so to speak—remain. What a great lesson does Napoleon offer to those Frenchmen who every morning wash them selves! Understand me—The French are, above all nations of the earth, a people of practical wisdom—sof practical mo rality. They make the glory of their great men a household thing. Napoleon is in his death-bed, his eagles flee upon their golden wings to darkness—the trumpet wails in his ear —the last flutter of his heart rises with the muttering drum —and " tete d'armee" is his death-sob. Napoleon is dead. A few minutes—tbe plaster "is poured above the face of imperial clay, and posterity is insured the vera effigies of that thunderbolt of a man just as the bolt was spent ! Now that face in its dreadful calmness, is multiplied in silver—in bronze—in marble ! in richest metal and in purest stone. And now, to teach a daily lesson to the common mind, that awful countenance, with the weight of death upon it, is sold modelled in—soap ! Nay have we not moral reflections brought to the very fingers' ends of the people ! As the mechanic cleanses his palms, and feels his Emperor's nose wasting away in his fingers, he thinks of Marengo and Austerlitz! With imperial face the pickpocket makes his hands clean from last night's work, thinking the while of the rifled halls and galleries of Italy : the butcher, new from his morning's killing, washes his hands with the countenance of the Emperor, the whilf he muses on Waterloo, and whistles the " Downfall of Paris." And the philosopher peeps into the tub and sees the type and memory of the warrior's deeds in bubbles floating upon dirty water.— Panch's Letters to his Son. THE TEETOTALLERS. —" What I object to is their violence that they will not allow people to be sobered their own way, so that if they will not follow, without deviation, their rules and regulations, they are denounced as traitors to the cause of temperance ; nay, I have beard the whole body of the British and Foreign Temperance Society denounced as worse than drunkards. It is really a sort of paradox, for lam sure that you, my Lord, and every person in this room, has the greatest possible dislike to intemperance in any shape; and it is, therefore, hard to be denounced„ and I only regret that we are not in Exeter-hall with teetotallers around us; I should then think myself justified in using such argument s as I thought fit against their extensive system. They are tem perate, certainly, but it is a physical temperance ; temperance does not consist in mere abstinence horn wine or from spirits, but in abstinence also from anything that conduces to unhinge the human mind, and to unfit it for the society in . w hi c h it moves. This is too much to be seen in, teetotalists ; they are characterised by a sort of moral intoxication, if we may so call it; when once their passions are excited they know no bounds, they irritate, oppose, and denounce, which is all fo reign to the precepts and principles of the gospel. Again there are certain fallacies in their arguments which ought to be exposed. They object to anything containing alcohol Then why don't they object to sugar? Their common-sense is at fault as well as their chymistry. In order to explain the mention of wine in Scriptures, they try to make out that it is unfermented wine, instead of perceiving the great prin ciple of Scripture is, (as might be illustrated by passages in numerable,) that it is the abuse, not the use of a thing in which siu lies. I think teetotallers are in some sort morally intoxicated upon this point ; and judging from their conduct upon too many occasions, 1 might also say they were labour mg under a species of delirium tremens.—The Bishop of Norwich. THE THORN.—According to the Rabbins, there are twen ty-two different Hebrew words signifying thorns or prickles in the Bible. Celesius has given dissertations upon sixteen ; only one of which, Katz, appears to have the meaning of any thorny plant in general, whether large or small, woody or herbaceous. 1. The Paliurus Napeca, in Hebrew Shamir, is believed by most modern authors to be the real thorn, of which the painful crown of our Lord was platted ; it is sin gularly elegant, whether in flower or in fruit; and I cannot do better than copy Hasselquist's account of it :—" Nabca Paliurus A thenai of Alpinus. Nabca of the Arabians. In all probability, this is the tree which• afforded the crown of thorns, put upon the head of Christ. It grows very common in the east. This plant is very fit for the purpose ; for it has many small and sharp spines which are well adapted to give pain : the crown might be easily made of these soft, round, and pliant branches ; and what, in my opinion, seems to be the greater proof is, that the leaves resemble those of ivy, as they are of a deep glossy green. Perhaps the enemies of Christ would have a plant somewhat resembling that with which emperors and generals were crowned, that there might be a calumny even in the punishment." 2. Next, after the pre tensions of the Paliurus to the honour of forming the crown of thorns, stand those of the buckthorn, or Rhamnus Spina Christi. The monks of Jerusalem show, or lately did show, and aged buckthorn-shrub near the holy city, from which they say the crown was originally cut in such a manner, that, in wearing it, the thorns showed themselves so as to present something like the appearance of the radiate crown with which the kings of the East used to adorn themselves. 3. A third sharp thorn, native to Palestine, is sometimes con sidered as the material of the crown of thorns. This is the Lycium horridum, or box-thorn, whose prickles are of th e most stinging sharpness, though he plant itself has a grace ful appearance. When Hasselquist travelled, he found the uncultivated ground in Egypt and Palestine everywhere en cumbered with the beautiful but troublesome rest-harrow, or Ononis spinosa ; and, from this and some other circumstances, he was inclined to think it the thorn of the original curse. " Thorns also and thistles shall it [the earth] bring forth unto thee." Most late writers have adopted this notion of the Swedish traveller. Where the rest-harrow appears, the spade, plough, and harrow have done their work ; and it is not without excessive toil that the ground is reclaimed. Our vernacular name is sufficiently expressive. With us it adorns heaths and hedges, and glows in tufts on the headland of the corn-field.—Callcott's Scripture Herbal. MISCELLANEOUS. 'Me Martinis of. Bute and Mr. Fox Manic hair° each been put in nomination for the Lord Rectorship of Glasgow University.

THE WELLESLEY PAPERS.—The executor of the late Marquis Wellesley last week sent to the British Museum up wards of three waggon loads of M SS. and books in compliance with the will of the noble Marquis. The Duchess of Kent composed a piece of music to cele brate the first anniversary of the birth of the Prince of Wales, which was performed for the first time on Wednesday even ing by the fine band of the Grenadier Guards. BADEN BADEN.—The Augsburg Gazette of the 9th inst., states that the number of visitors to Baden Baden amounted this year to 23,739, being 1,650 more than during any former year, and that the sums expended by them amounted to 7,000,000 f. k£280,000 British.) The attorney-general will not press for judgment against the proprietors of the Newry Examiner and Belfast Vindi cator—the defendants having expressed their regret at the publication of the libellous articles, which they pleaded were written under feelings of great excitement. EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH.—A servant girl of Mr. Dodd, of Oscroft, Cheshire, who left ber place a few days since, on the plea of being " rayther unwell," was delivered, on Wed nesday last, of three fine boys, all of whom, together with their mamma, are doing well. On Monday last, 207,000 letters passed through the General Post-office—nearly a quarter of a million of letters in a day through one office ! Immense. ship-letter mails also have been received at the General Post-office within the last few days from Pernambucco, Monte Video, China, Rio de Janeiro, Havana, Bahia, Valparaiso, Sydney, Singapore, and the Cape of Good Hope. On Sunday afternoon, as a young man. vvho with others had been on the river Thames, was passing over Waterloo Bridge, he suddenly left his friends, and, as he said, " for a lark. he would walk over on the stone-work," he mounted the first recess, and was proceeding on his fool-hardy ex ploit when he overbalanced himself and fell into the water, previous to which he struck his bead against the coping stone. Two men instantly put off in a boat and brought the man ashore, when he was conveyed to a surgery. but, from the cut in his head and other injuries, life was extinct in a few minutes after be was taken out of the water. REDUCTION IN THE PRICES OF PriovisioNs.—During the last week a very great reduction has taken place in the price of butchers' meat, and in consequence there has been a corresponding fall in the prices of other provisions. Several butchers at the West-end have advertised that they are selling the best wether mutton at 6d per lb, and beef (if taken in fair proportions) at a similar rate. In the leading thoroughfares, where the humbler classes usually market, mutton can be purchased at from 54d to 6411 per lb, and roasting beef at 7d per lb ; rump-steaks BJld per lb, coarser pieces in proportion. In Clare-market, Drury-lane, and its vicinity, American bacon and pork are selling at from 2d to 4-4 d per lb; Berwick pork, from 4d to 54d per lb; prime Wiltshire bacon, 54d per lb by the half side ; dairy-fed pork, from 6d to 8d per lb. Butter can be had as low as 6d per lb, and the best salt 10d per lb ; prime Dorset, is per lb. Cheese, according to the quality, from 44d to 80 per lb. The best household bread, 6d to 64d the 41b loaf; potatoes, 151bs for 6d. In some places American bacon, so called, can be had as low as lid per lb. FATAL PUNCTURE OF A LADY'S FINGER.—Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, held an inquest on Wednesday, at the Hero of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, on the body of Sarah Fuller, a maiden lady, aged 65. It was stated that the de ceased resided at No. 108, Stamford-street, Blackfriars, and that on Saturday week last as she was engaged trussing for the spit a turkey, she very slightly punctured, with a skewer, the third finger of the right hand. The wound soon became exceedingly painful, the finger and hand began to swell, and in consequence a surgeon was called in on the following day. Mr. Pratt, surgeon, of Adelaide-street, Strand, said that he visited the deceased on Sunday week, and found her greatly exhausted. The right arm of deceased was swollen from the hand to the shoulder, and he found upon examination that the joints of the punctured finger were deadened. Gangrenous mortification, no doubt the result of the puncture, rapidly attacked the whole of the injured arm, and caused death on Wednesday last. Verdict " Accidental Death."—London Paper. THE NILE.—The following account of the plans adopted by Mehemet Ali for carrying into execution the improve ments of the Nile, first conceived by the Emperor Napoleon, is transmitted to Paris, by Dr. Labot, who arrived lately in Egypt. The first great work is to be the establishment of a bridge of 83 arches, running from the point of the Delta to each of the opposite banks of both branches, similar to the Pont Neuf at Paris. On each side of the spur, a sluice is to be formed for the purpose of navigation. All the 83 arches are to be also furnished with flood-gates of iron or wood, to be opened or shut, alcording to the wants of traffic and navigation. A tunnel is to be cut through the spur of the Delta, forming a communication between the two branches of the river. Canals are also to be cut from each branch running to the east and the west, with various minor channels, with sluices for the commerce and irrigation of the country. Above the bridge, the Nile is to be embanked on each side, so as to keep the water always within a certain level. All these embankments will be faced with masonry, to give them solidity and beauty. Concrete will be used for all the submarine works, and the rest will be done with squared stone, rubble, and bricks. These materials are found in abundance in Egypt, and even in the immediate neighbourhood of the works. Artificial pozzolane is in ge neral use, being obtainable in all parts of the country from pulverised bricks. This matter, which is analogous to that produced by volcanos, being mixed with lime and rubble, form what is called beton or concrete. Before the discovery of this pozzolane, which cost sf. the cubic metre on the spot, it was formerly brought from Italy at the expense of 45f. or 50f. the cubic-metre. The cost of the bridge has been esti mated.at 7,000,000 f. and cannot exceed 10,000,000 f. When once the materials are collected, it will require no more than three years for 5000 men to complete this colossal under taking, which will vie in grandeur with the celebrated mo numents of ancient Egypt. According to a calculation re cently made by a Parisan engineer, it appears that the present irrigation of Egypt, though very limited in comparison to what will now be accomplished, cost the labour of 200,000 oxen'and 100,000 men. SHIPWRECK OFF BUTE.—On Wednesday morning, be tween three and fo'ur o'clock, the ship William, Captain Houston, while on her passage from Gloucester to this port, was totally wrecked at Kilchattan Bay, Isle of Bute, while in the' act of wearing, during a heavy storm. When the vessel struck, her owner, Thomas Hamlin, Esq., a gentle man of extensive nautical experience, told the alarmed crew• to keep cool and collected, in which case there was a fair prospect of their lives being saved; whereas, should their terrors lead to confusion, their dangers would be greatly in- I creased. This advice was attended to by the major part of the crew ; but two of them, in spite of every remonstrance, lowered themselves overboard on what seemed from the ship to be dry rocks ; but by this step they only met the fate they sought to shun, the boisterous surge into which they dropped having washed them back, and carriedthem under the ship's bottom, where no'assistance could be rendered them by those on the wreck. The rest of the crew, after:remaining on remaining on board with great difficulty tilt the morning broke, the sea during the n:ght washing over theta, and the sh . p rapidly going to pieces, were enabled to land on the re ceding of the tide. By the time they left her, she was a complete wreck, little remaining but the deck. The master was a good deal bruised, and the mate had his hand seriously injured. Mr. Hamlin and the crew were much exhausted by the severity of the weather, but were, with one exception, uninjured. One old man was saved with much difficulty, as from the cold he bad become quite benumbed. Mr. Hamlin speaks in the highest terms of the kindness he, his officers, and crew experienced from Mr. Dougall, farmer in the vi cinity of where the wreck took place, and of the ready aid he afforded them, which was the means especially of saving the old man above alluded to. He also sent his carts to save any property which might come ashore. The severity of the gale which proved fatal to the William may be judged of by the fact, that she was blown from Pladda to Cumbrae, a distance of twenty-one miles, under bare poles, in somewhat less than two hours.—Greenock Advertiser. IMPORTANT DECISION RESPECTING SEAMEN.^OI3 Mon day a case came before the Mayor and a full bench of magi strates at Sunderland, the result of whi c h i s o f th e gr eatest importance to the shipping interest, and especially of the North of England. Captain Wellburn, of the brig Cornopeia, was summoned for refusing to pay the crew of his vessel their wages for a voyage to Sheerness. The claim of the mate for 1:4 5s was first taken, and the facts of the case were these : On the 24th of September the vessel left Seaham-harbour with a cargo of coals for London. On her voyage, she struck on the North-sand, and received so much damage that she was compelled to be taken into Sheerness, where she de livered her coals on the mud. When at Sheerness, Captain Wellburn went to London, leaving the vessel in charge of Mr. W. Edgeconabe, Lloyd's agent. Mr. Edgecombe en gaged a number of labourers to deliver the coals, to whom lie paid 7 farthings per ton ; he also asked the men to assist, and promised to remunerate them for their extra labour, as they would not have had to deliver the coals in London, to which port they signed articles. They accordingly assisted. and at the conclusion of the delivery Mr. Edgecombe paid them £2 lfis 71-d each, being at the rate of ld per ton. When the captain returned, Mr. Edgecombe informed him of this agree ment. He said it was hard he should have to pay it, but consented to be governed by the custom of the port. On his return to Seaharn, however, he deducted the amount paid from the men's wages. Mr. Ransom, an attorney, who all geared for the capt a i n , contended that th e me n were not en titled to any extra remuneration, whatever the amount of la bour they performed, and that every agreement entered into being contrary to the very foundation of the articles they had signed must be void. He also urged that it was the custom of sailors at Sheerness to unload the vessels, and that the vessel being driven by stress of weather there, the sailors were bound to comply with the customs of the port. In an swer to this, it was said the men had been only paid for a London voyage. The magistrates retired to consider their decision. and ultimately resolved, by a majority, that the men were not entitled to their full wages. • Mr. Cooper then with drew the summonses in the remaining cases, for the purpose of taking the cases before the Admiralty, the seamen having the option of having the matter decided either by . the Ad miralty or a bench of magistrates, but, whichever tribunal is adopted, there is no appeal from their decision. MORE SHIPWRECKS.--Information was yesterday morn ing received at Lloyd's and by the owners of the total loss of the Hamilton, a fine brig of 300 tons, Bradbury, master, on the Gunfleet Sand, near Harwich, in the morning of Tuesday, together with 11 of her crew. The Hamilton be longed to Mr. Mageary, of Love-lane, coal merchant, and was on her voyage from Shields to London, laden with coals. She had encountered very severe weather the whole of her passage, and when off Harwich, between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, it became exceedingly foggy, with the wind E.S.E., and a heavy sea running. About 4 o'clock the word was " Breakers ahead," and almost instantly she struck on the outward part of the above sands and became perfectly unmanageable, the sea making a breach completely over her. The captain and crew finding there was not the least hope of saving the ship, took to a boat and left her to her fate, and in a few minutes she began to break up and was soon com pletely to pieces. Out of the 12 persons comprising her crew one only was saved (the boat having been swamped,) and from his statement, made to the captain of another vessel, the above facts have been obtained. The boat was swamped but a short distance from shore, and it is supposed that had it not been for the intense fog the ill-fated crew would have been able to gain the land. Captain Bradbury, although young, is said to have been a man of great experience, having commanded the same ship to New South Wales and back three times, and was besides well acquainted with the coast of which he has lost his life. The sister of Bradbury, who lives in London, was about to go this last voyage with her brother, and proceeded as far as Gravesend, when her fears overcame her, and she went ashore. The Hamilton is in sured. The Gannet, Hunnum master, from. Shields to Lon don, was totally wrecked on the 14th, having got on the Whittakers in a fog. The crew were fortunately saved, but the cargo (coal) and everything on board, as well as the ves sel, are entirely lost. Information was also received at Lloyd's yesterday of the wreck of the Duchess of Buccleucb, bound from Jamaica t o H avanna h. From the accounts re ceived it appears that the unfortunate vessel was driven on the 14th of August on the Jardanillos, in the Gulf of Florida ; and, it being dreadful, weather at the time, she became a total wreck. The wh o l e o f th e crew were saved, but the cargo, said to be valuable, is lost.— Times of yesterday. 4,lyipping Entelltoire.

Although at this day's market there was a fair attendance of the trade, no efficient number of actual buyers was apparent; as regards foreign Wheat of all descriptions, therefore, we have to repeat an exceedingly heavy, lingering sale, with a generally decided tendency to retrograde in value. In the limited transactions which took place in foreign, a decline of 2d. was readily accepted, and English, though not plentiful, was 2d to 3d per bushel cheaper; Irish Wheats being freely offered at an abatement of 4d to 6d per 701bs. from the rates of this day se'nnight, such claimed a preference over most other kinds, and in good qualities, at this reduction, a moderate extent of business was effected. English and Irish Flour, upon a slow demand, sustained a slight depression, and States as well as Canadian receded 6d. per barrel. Barley was in moderately fair request on the terms last noted. Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule in the same languid state as described on Friday. atarkttf., iiVARAINGTON CORN MARKET, Nov. 15. Wheat, qrs. Barley Oats Total quantities. Total amount.

The best Beef therefore in good demand, which brought some 10s per head more money. Sheep in good supply, without any change in value. Best Beef and Mutton 5d to sd. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 16. The market is very heavy this morning for all descriptions of grain, the recent advance in the value of Wheat being with diffi culty sustained, but the factors appear to be unwilling to accept of lower rates. The trade is therefore only of a retail character for immediate supply. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, Nov. 16. During the present week, owing to the reaction in other leading markets, we have had little passing in the Wheat trrde, and to have effected sales to any extent lower rates must have been sub mitted to, both on English and foreign samples. Malting Barley has continued in request at last week's currency ; for grinding the demand is limited to retail parcels for present use. Beans support their value ; but Peas are a dull sale at rather less money. Old English Oats scarce and dear; but new Irish command little at tention ; buyers are holding off, in the expectation of lower prices, which the moderate supplies do not warrant. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 15. Only a moderate demand for Cotton to-day, as is usually the case on Tuesday. 1,000 to 1,500 bales sold at yester day's prices, without any change in tone' or feeling. COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER 17. The intelligence brought by the steamer of a probable large forthcoming crop of Cotton has induced many holders to shew their stocks more freely to-day, so that buyers have greater choice in their purchases, giving to the market an easier feeling, without any change in price. The sales yesterday were COO bales, and to. day 3500 bales. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER 17, 1842. During the past week there has been only a limited arrival of vessels with Potatoes from the Isle of Man, Scotland and Ireland, yet the demand either in retail at the quay, or for re-shipment, has been exceedingly dull—the town trade principally supplying them-. solves from our neighbouring farmers, and the country dealers an a,cipating a large arrival as soon as the wind becomes favourable, nd a consequent depression, will not operate at the present cur reutprices. Cups are selling from 14d to 16d per 901 b. Our local markets are now heavily stocked with all descriptions of agricultural produce, for which there has been only a slow sale for these few past days, at somewhat lower prices than our pre vious currency.
