LITERARY NOTICES. Blackwoocts J an9ry,.!8:33, Thi:~ nu tuber, thnuktl in the olimber of its articles it fatls far below the average, is one of the . best we have ever Met With. The first paper is worth the price of the magazine. It is a deeply interesting domestic tale, under the title of " The Household Wreck:" We suspect that the author is Mr. Warren, the writer of the celebrated Passages from the Diary of a late Physician." The paper on " Modern Fien'cli Classics" contains an admi rable critique on the writings of Bossuet, and an ex tract from his funeral oration on Henrietta, Queen of • Rtigland; and Wife of Chai-les the First. This is fol l Owed by an excellent review of Colonel Mitchell's "Life of Wallenstein." " The World we 'l've in" contains its usual variety of pleasant criticisms, amusing anecdotes, and spirited remarks on passing events. The topics glanced at this month are, the Lord Mayor's-day—bad neighbours—the death of Hummel —medical noyelties— O'Connell—tiger hunting in. India—eitent of forgeries—the state of civilization in the Sandwich islands, &c. " Impressions of a Tour" are spiritedly conceived', and afford some very nseful hints to travel lers. is a notice of a publication under that title by a well-known "Manchester Manufacturer," and another work on the same Abject. " What have Mi nisters done is a splendid political article, in which the past conduct of the Whig ministry is examined vvith becoming, severity. This paper is well worth a careful perusal. Fraser's Magazine. January, 1838. This is an unusually brilliant number. It is also ex.• tremely varied in its contents. The opening paper will afford a rich treat to the classical scholar. It is the first of a Series of papers by Doctor Maginn. under the title cif" Homeric ifillads." The " Portraits of Spanish Carlist Chiefs" contain some interesting biographical details respecting the most. celebrated of Don Caiiths's generals. "The New Frankenstein" is happily con', eeived and well executed. " Lord Teignmouth's Sketches of the Coasts and Islands of Scotland" is an excellent review, but rather severe. " The Yellow=phish Cor respondence" is exquisitely rich. We have given an extraoin another part of our paper. " The Newspapei• Press of Paris" is a well•digested paper. " Blue Friar Pleasantries" are as amusing as usual. The present ef fusion under this title is a pancgyric . im Mulligatawny', gTaryoixtail, and pea soups. " Prospects,.of the New Year" is one of those nervous, powerful, and elo quent' political articles for which:Fraser lots been so cle -setwedlv celebrated. - "Our Batch of Novels- for the New Yeir" is a review of . Mrs. Trollope's " Vicar of Wrexhill," Bolwer's "Ernest MaltraVers," Lands n's "Ethel Churchill," " The Married Unmarried," " Bus worth Field," and (lire's "Stokeshill Place." The to triahawk is - unmercifully used in some of the criticisms . on these works, and in no instance with greater propriety than in noticino. Mrs. Trollope's disgusting and libellous trash. " Brougham and Melbourne, or the Twa Dogs," is an amusing paraphrase of a recent conversation in the House of Llrds." " The Doctor" is a very ingeni- OM paper. " How long can it last ?" is the paper of this month. It is calculated to produce very .great effect upon the balance of parties at. the present critical con juncture. The Dublin University Magazine. January, BM. We are delighted to find that the spirited proprietor of this rising periodical has Commenced the new year so Well. He has issued one of the most interesting num bers of the 11V-Igazine that we have vet perused. The first paper on "The Roman Catholic Oath': isextremely seasonable . It is powerfully written, and must produce conviction in the mind of every unprejudiced person. "The Gallery of I►lnstrions Irishmen" is resumed in an excellent biographical notice of James, Duke of Ormonde. "Ttle Diamond will be Trumps again" is capital. ' 44 The Ghost and the Bonesetter" is a pleasant trifle, bat not Very original. The continuation of "The Orphans of Dunasker" will be perused with increasing interest. The review of Lover's " Rory O'More" is temperate and judicious, but just and discriminating. In the " By- Ways of Irish History" some very curious details are introduced respecting the system of whiteboYism, "Far rlaromzha, the Miser" is as wild and rhapsodical, but as absorbing in its interest as the preceding chapters - . "The Late Pri,vost" contains a merited tribute to the memory, of-Dr. Lloyd. There are many very apposite remarks in the " Memoranda of the Month," to which we Would particularly direct the attention of our readers, especially of those who may he incredulous of the statements re• cently made respecting the insurrectionary state of seve ral districts in-Ireland. The observations on the appoint ment of Dr. Sadlier to the Provostship of the University are extremely moderate and utterly devoid of anything approaching bigotry of diSpiu;ition. On the whole, as we have intimated, this number is a good specimen for 1838. The Asiatic Journal. January, 1333 There are several very excellent original contributions in the present number of this exceedingly useful and im nortant magazine. The "ReyieW of Eastern News," promises to be a very instructive series, affording it com plete bird's-eye view of the proceedings in those distant regions. This number contains the conclusion of the admirable paper on "Steani•cotninunication with India." We particularly recommend it to the notice of parties who are interested inlbe subject. It contains a complete digest of all the arguments and evidence offered on this lOng-pending question. "The Turf in India". will repay. the sportsman for the trouble of perusal. The review of " Stiors's Notes on Indian Aff.tirs" contains some very important suggestions on the management of our oriental possessions. The account of the " Dutch Set tlement in New Guinea" is particularly entertaining. The copiOus reports of the proceedings of the Royal Society, the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and at the East India House, form a very important feature in this pe riodical, as do also the reports of the more intricate eases tried in-the Indian Courts of Law. Tha Asiatic intelligence furnished in the miscellaneous department is very copious- and varied, containing notices of the Manners and customs of different tribes; accounts of re cent aiscoveries in antiquities, natural history, .&c., and a succession of extracts from the various publications which appear in India, Australia, Ceylon, China, Btc.. We know of few periodicals which we peruse with more interest than the Asiatic Journal. Sketches in London. By the Author of " R tn,lntn Recollection:," " The Great 'Metropolis," &e. Nos. 3 'and 4. London : W. S. Orr and Co. 1837. We have before noticed the first and second numbers of this entertaining work. The third number, which we received late last month, contains an amusing account of the festive doings at the '" Lumber Troop Hall," with two very spirited plates by " Phiz." The author has in troduced several prolonged discussions which took place at several times among the " ancient and honourable fraternity of Lumber Troopers." Some of the scenes described afford rich specimens of broad humour, and all of them abound with an exuberance of Cockneyisms. The particulars furnished respecting the history of this singular brotherhood of knights-wassailers, are very curi92s. The fourth number contains a vivid sketch of the AwVictoria Parliament," and is illustrated by two capital plates, the one showing O'Connell in theact of taking the oatlig, and the other intended to convey some idea .of the scene which took place in the House of Commons on the introduction of Mr. Blewitt's notable resotufions. The descriptions git en of this and other memorable scenes axe highly -graphic. We are glad to perceive that . Mr. Grant seems anxious to obtain a cha racter for impartiality in his criticisms on the proceedings of the house,. and the speeches of the leading members. This is a very valuable feature in the work before us. Strong partizanship would divest it of half its interest. The Illustrated Family Bible, with Copious Marg in a 'References,' ?Votes, and Annotations, 4.c. London: • -Smith, Elder, and Co. 1833. We have just received a specimen number of this splendid edition of the Holy Scriptures. The text is" that of the authorised version. The notes are taki , n from . the " Self Interpreting Bible" of the late Rev. John Brown, of Haddington. The illustrations are ex ceedingly beautiful. They are executed after the man ner of the ancient illuminated manuscripts, as far as the devices are concerned. This edition will form one 'of the most splendid, and certainly most useful presents that could be selected as a sacred token of remembrance. We have very little doubt that if such a work were is sued complete,, as a New Year's-gift, it would be very extensively circulated. It would be infinitely more Wor thy of both giver and receiver than many of the produc tions published fdr the purpose of presentation. Encycloptrdia BritafiniCa—Part First. This Encyclopaedia is too well known to render it ne cessary to say anything either as to the excellence of its plan, the ability of its execution, or its :extensive use.. fatness ris a general repertory of human knowledge. It ii now so far advanced at press as to enable the proprie iors to commence its publication in monthly half vo luves; and the fidelity with which they have observed their original compact witlythe public leaves no room to doubt that the articles of their prospectus will be fulfilled to the letter. The preserit edition is recommended by modern im provements and additions of the most varied and im - portant kind. It is also enriched with the whole of the matter contained in the far-famed supplement. The in- Cdrpitration'of a work so highly celobrated would, of it ielf 'be a strong recommendation ; r tit when it is ,corisi dere,d that a very large portion of the entire contents has bein: especially contributed to the present edition—that the &rat writers of the age are ernploed to prove its ac• curacy, to augment its science, and to extend its info! , sciatica—and that the paper, typography, and embellish tents are in every respect such as the improved taste of the age would demand, we have no hesitation in pro •nounring:it 41)-13e , a work• in every way deserving' of na tional support. In a •word, the present edition of .the Enctlopredia Britannica is -" the most valuable digest of human kriO - Wlege which - has ever yet appeared in Bri tain in the convenient form of a dictionary. The New Liverpool Almanac and Tide Table. Liver- Pool : Horridge and Rider. 183 S. This is a new almanac, adapted for this town, and compiled by Mr. Henderson, the mathematician of the Observatory. It is 'published in a very neat and portable form, and contains all the necessary astronomical calcu lations, together with a great variety of tabular and other information.of the greatest impor lance. It forms a very valuable book. of reference. We wish it every success. LIVERPOOL AIEUHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY. We now fulfil our promise in giving a report of Dr. Kane's first lecture, cud we have no doubt that it will prove highly in teresting, to our readers. The experiments by which it was illus trated were of a first - rate order, and upon a scale of magnitude hitherto unknown in Liverpool. The atiendance, both.on Wed nesday and Saturday, augurs well for the success of the course. Long prior to the development to any great extent of abstract science, a number of arts and manufactures existed which sub sequent experiments - proved.to be based upon purely chemical principles. These arts were conduCted by mechanical pro cesses, the result of empirical experience. The individual practising au art after the lapse of a certain period arrived-at a degree of accuracy in his process which. raised bim to is de gree of eminence at the present day. Instead of being satis fied with 4he facts themselves, we endeavour to find out the reasons of those facts, so as to be able to apply the principles of science to the ainetioration of the processes of the art. By this means, the arts have been brought to their present practical state. We find art and science reacting upon each other, the art at the coutnaeneement giving power to the cultivator of the science to enable him in turn to advance the art. Amongst the arts, by far the greater number consist of such as have their fulindation in chemistry. There are at - present slknown chemical substances, which, in the present - state of our ,knowledge, are uudecomposable. 'These are divided into metallic and nonmetallic bodies, to the latter of which; Owing to his limited time, the lecturer purposed confining, his attention. ,Of these, oxygen is the most interest ing to chemists as the most important body upon which thcy have to operate. It combines with most other bodies which we meet With inxiontaon lifee—the atmosphere, earth, and water, containing considerable proportions. of it.• It is incorrectly termed oxygen, but it is a term universally adopted. Its disco- , very is very interesting to- chemists in au historical point of view. Towards the end of the last century, chemistry iu com mon with every one of the sciences which are termed exact.. underwent a mist remarkable revolution. Until that period, chemists occupied themselves entirely with - the discovery of the qualities of bodies; but .at that time the celebrated Lavoisier attracted the attention, of chemists, not- only to the fact of bodies , combining with each other, but to the quantities inwilich they ' continue. It is interesting to consider that this discovery, re sulted from the general advancement of the. sciences, and not from the intellect of one individual, inasmuch as we have in England, Friince, and !Sweden, three different individuals claim• hag the discovery of oxygen gas. It had.long been known ; and it is an observation so universally made, that it is difficult at present to discover how scientific ineo could be Wiwi to the im mediate consequence of it fur so long a time, that it we take one of the ordinary metals, and expose It to an intense heat, a scum wilt form upon its surface after it is melted, and it we contin ki .to app y the heat long enough, the whole mass of meta Ihe changed into a powdery substance , g ra y in the case o tin, and. yellow and red in the case of lead. 'These powde,s were called the calxes of the metals. One of the me tals in which this bad been observed, was quicksilver. The red calx of quicksilver known by the name of red precipitate dif fers from all usher calxes in this, that if it be further heated, it is again resolved into quicksilver, whereas, no matter how high a degree of heat is applied to calxes of other metals, it is impos sible to bring them again into their previous metallic state, without the use of some foreign substance. ft was said, that in the process of calcination, the metal lost some property, but Lavinsier, (and his experiment was most interesting, as being a change of the manner of making experiments) took a certain quantity of quicksilver, end put it into a glass vessel which he hermetically sealed. Having weighed tire apparatus, lie then applied beat, when the quicksilver was gradually calcined. Having calcined as much as he could, he weighed the apparatus again, and found that it had not changed its weight. He then opened the glass vessel under water, and found that the water g ruse to a certain height in it. Upon examinin the air which the vessel contained, be found that it would no longer support' the combustion of the candle. He then heated the calx and found that it gave out air, which, when added to the air previously obtained restored it to its ()signal state and it again supported combustion. By this means he discovered that the atmospheric air was composed of two substanees; the one a supporter and the other a non-supporter of combustion, stud that the cal cination of the metal arose from its combination with that portion of the atmosphere which supports combustion. Dr. Katie then described and practically illustrated the vat ions modes of• procuring oxygen, either by heating red oxide of mercurv.or of lead, or chlorate of potash, in a glass retort;—or the.black oxide of manganese, in an lion retort, and collecting the gas by means of the pneumatic trough, as it is ex pellect,from the metals. Lead has a very powerful affinity for oxvgen, but the first portion which it takes is retained more strongly than the rest. Thus if heat is applied to red lead, we obtain but one-third of the quantity. of oxygen it contains ; but heat alone, however poweitul, is incapable of destroying the affinity between the lead and the remaining oxygen. The black oxide of manganese, being a very cheap material, is generally made use of when any quantity of oxygen gas is re quired. By adding sulphuric acid to the black oxide of tonna nese, in a glass retort, and applying heat, a double quantity of oxygen is procured. Chlorate of pulass is remarkable for the large quantity. tif oxogen it , contains, its atomic proportio'n being—chlorine 3c)l, potassium 40, and oxygen 48. By heati4g it, the whole of the oxygen is obtained. The expensiveness of this salt, however, precludes its general use:" Oxygen is characterised by no properti!s which, at first sight, would distinguish it firma atmospheric air. It is perfectly colourless. 'lbis we can at once understand, as it is present in atmospheric air in the proportion of one-fifth of' its volume. Of course. if it possessed any distinguishing odour or taste, the atmospheric air would also partake of it. It is oxygen which . which enables atmospheric air to support combustion. If we plunge a taper merely ignited, n o t flaming, into a jar of oxygen -it will be instantly and lined. A piece of phosphovus is but ned • very brilliantly in this gas. If a coil of iron wire be immersed in the gas, and one end ignited, the wire will be fused and pro duce beautifulscititillations. A dark-reddish crust wall form upon the interior surface of the jar, which is the lust or oxide of iron. In fact, the rusting of iron is only a combustion cart ied on so slowly as to be imperceptible in the common air. Oxygen is requisite for respiration; and as a given quantity is consumed by animals in a certain time, unless a fresh supply of atmos pheric air is allowed theaninials will die. Animals thus destroy oxygen, and replace it with carbonic acid gas, the same sub stance as that which is formed during the c ombustion of car bonaceous bodies. When we et - onside' the number of animals which are constantly respiring atmospheric air, the question not unnaturally suggests itself, " Must there not, after a number of centuries shall pass, remain nothing but carbonic acid and nitrogen, the other component of atmospheric air ?" The solu tion of this question has led to the discovery of one of the most beautiful laws with which philosophers are acquainted. We arrange substances in two classes, those which do and 'how: ,hio d o not possess life, and also lfrose which do possess life a nit , o i animal out c a L n b d i. v n e i g e e a ta c i i , a l e. ku gdoms. Animals absorb oxygen n . I V egetables absorb carbonic acid and give out oxygen. In this way we have tne coustituttou of the atmosphere kept so constantly itivarialite that the most minute chemical analysis has not been able to detect the slightest difference in its composition from the tit st period when . chemical analysis became exact down to the lot esent day. Hydrogen (obtained its name from its having been 4, , iginally discovered to he an element of water, and it is always at present o btained by chemists from the decomposition of water. We can procure oxygen from a great variety of substances, but we can only procure hydrogen by the decomposition of water. W a ter i s found to consist of oxygen and hydrogen, which are unqed by a very powerful . aftinity. If we take note ounces of water we shall find that they coutain eight ounces of oxygen and only one ounce of hydrogen. To obtain hydoogen from water a is only necessary to take some substance which has a powerful affinity for oxygen, as zinc or iron. if a piece of zinc be put into a Florence flask, and water pouted upon it, the zinc will react upon the water and decompose it, the hydrogen escaping and the oxygen uniting with the zinc to form an oxide of zinc. Oxide of zinc is insoluble in water, therefore we can not practically obtain hydro ge n from zinc and water. The fart is that the surface of the zinc becomes surrounded by the oxide, and the decomposition of the water is prevented from going on further. If. however, we take some substance o hich is soluble that will dissolve this oxide as soon as formed, we shall expose a fresh surface of zinc to the action of the water, and thus pro duce lidrogeo. Potassium has an immense affinity foroxygen. When placed upon the surface of water it coatiallies with its oxygen with so much energy as to evolve heat sufficient to in fluence the hydrogen which is set free. In order to obtain large quantities of hydrogen, we take a quantity of zinc and pour:upon it diluted sulphitic acid, which dissolves the oxide of zinc, by which a fresh surface of metal is - constantly presented to the water, and •a.•rapi.4l . decompasitiou- goes on. Hydrogen, like oxygen, :is perfectly colourless and transparent. It is . Characterised — hy - awo: • Very remarkable', propei ties. Unlike oxygen. which is triflingly heavier than atmospheric air, hydro gen is fifteen times lighter, being the lightest of all known sub . - stances. • Hydrogen is inflammable, and, when puic, burns with a faint blue flame. It does nut support combustion. The levity of hydrogen may be illustrated in a very remarkable manner by inflating with it a balloon made of goldbeaters skin or tissue paper. When adventurous men conceived the idea of ascending into the atmosphere by means of some substance lighter than the air, the first substance which presented itself was ratified air. The balloons were made large and open at the b ot t om . A furnace was placed underneath, by which means the balloon was tilled with ratified air and en abled to rise into the atmosphere with a considerable weight attached. After the discovery of hydtogen, it naturally suegest. ed itself to men to replace' the heated air with h y d rogen ' . and, accordingly, the latt-r gas was un i versa ll y used until oil and coal gas became so general. that by its emplitiment of whit h, although of inferior levity, aeronauts were enabled to ascend at I a less expense. When hydrogen gas is collected over water, it absorbs vapour from the water and is not more than nine times as light as atmospheric air; therefore, when extreme levity is required the hydrogen should be dried before it is used, which may teadity- be done on its passage from the gasometer. Oxygen and hydrogen, when mixed iu the proportion iu a hick they form- water, constitute a most explosive mixture, andre quire to he used with great caution. Dr. Kane exploded two small bladders, containing probably about two quarts of these gasses, by Means of a Leyden jar ; the report which took place shook the building to its foundation. These gasses, when com bined in the above proportion, produce the roost powerful heat we are acquainted with, by which the most refractory substances are readily reduced. If we expose any of the alcoholic liquors to the action of the atmosphere, we find after a certain length of time that they go sour. This acetous fermentatiou is an instance of combustion arising from the combination of the alcoholic solution with oxygen. This combustion-is caused to go on more rapidly los the employment of the metal platinum. Diolobereiner, upon the discovery of this principle of platinum, invented the little bump which bears his name. hl likewise enabled his country men to make the same vinegar iu twenty-four hours which pre viously had taken twelve months. Dr. Kane deiiveis his third lecture to-morrow evening, upon the atmosphere, nitrous oxide or laughing gas, (which he will administer to a few amongst the audience.) nitric oxide, hypo nitrous and nitinus acids, mod nitric acid.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,---,A bill is Mought into the Commons to rate the owners of tenements instead of the - occupiers. '1 his job has of late, and from time to Stme, in all manner o f wa‘s , b e en strongly re commended and ; pushed forward by the advocates- of the new poor law bill, and by the three new-matte monarchs, their hired assidants, and their little working tools, called guardians, The common clap-trap professions 'ale put forth to make it appear palatable. The benefit of the poor is the professed ob. - . jest. We are told that from the inability of a great portion of the working classes to pay rates, the "tax-gatherers ought no longer to have a claim ou the-occupiers of small houses, but on the owners; and that the power to rate the latter, instead of the former, would confer a great boon on the poor! - Yes, no dqubt it . . ould, if in reality they w e r e t o b e exem pt • from pay ing; b his is not intended, and herein i s the deception. It is well tii ; nown that a tax on any article is always paid by the consumer or user; consequently, if parochial rates are made a house-lax on the landlord, it must have a tendency to increase the atnntlnt of rent, and, in many cases, the landlord will at once clap on the additional charge, and thus the tenant, in re ality, will still be the payer. Yet some have the folly or im pudence to call this a boon to the poor. John Bull is not quite so stupid to gulp this down, at all events. -The true state of the matter is this: that --it is' now, and has long been considered. such.a barefaced act of injustice to make the poor pay pool- rates, road-rates, lighting-rates, police rates, and all other charges, that the parish authorities, and even the poor law com missioners and their adherents, are almost ashamed of the im position;or, at all events, they think it- not good policy to en force those demands on piio - r families, who can 'scarcely obtain a sufficiency of bread. Yet, on the other hand, they cleat ly perceive that to exonerate this most numerous class from these burdens, would entail more on themselves and others; conse quently a scheme is devised to make the poor pay indirectly, and thereby relieve the taxing authorities and the government from the odium and disgrace of enforcing these, in many i n -. stances, palpably unfair imposts. Well, then, t hey have at last hit upon this dexterous tricking plan of fixing these imposts On the owners. But will it not enhance the price of rent? Then, where is the benefit to the poor? Nay, instead of a benefit, they must be worse - off; for their poverty in many cases is a 'reasonable excuse fur exemption from rates; hut it will not be so for rent, so long as there is a chair or bed left; nor can it reasonably be expected. - for the landlord would not only be! losing his rent, but in addition to which, under the new law, he would he compelled to pay the tenant's rates. This system is - already in pt actice in many of the metropolitan parishes, where they have local acts. At the time these acts were obtained, it was considered, that there being so much. risk in obtaining rates from this class of houses, that the parish authorities should be allowed to assess the landlords in a less - am ount than tenants, provided they would farm or toratiound -- tb'pay a certain sum for the whole. full or empty. by ihns making them responsible, and compelling them to pay, let or ualet, they are forced to keep up high rents, ' Or ' else the taxes avuld make their - property worth little or-no thing. I have seen rows of houses, where a great portion of them were occupied, and taxes charged 1111 the whole, that they became - worthless, and they were compelled to pull them down, because the rents were not sufficient to pay the rates; conse quently this system arming, if it become general, has a direct tendency to injure this kind of property, and, in some instances. to make it worthless. And is' it not equally iujurious to the tenant? As one proof, I have small IniuseS %%Ilia I let fur £l3 a-year, and have always some empty, and Some tenants leaving, from whom I never get the money. Now, if there were no farmtng the rates, I would let theta for £8 instead of £l3, and it would be more to my in-' !meat to do so. In the first place, at the low price it is more likely that they would be all inhabited ; and in the next, poor persons could pay the smaller amount much better than the larger ; consequently the rent would be more certain. Look at the enormous increase on the tenant occasioned by this sys tem ; insteati of having to pay only about £3 he has to pay £5, r, the eere {lout? there Talk plea. about a Well, bo,,n— then, wh y is , is niott not thist but not under the head of rates, m i n d, w h ere , i n case o f nee d, he would have a reasonable pl e a for exemption, but under the h an ead lti ( j it u . reny tt, , w glaring act of injustice ? What justice, 1 s ho u ld lik e t o know, canthere be placing ,innt taxes i,,nsib o l t y i be relieved aptio from any part poor man iianindir ) ec r t oa l a t uiji from which i he al they have deprived him -of every thing he possesses? We find .• thai where the landlords pay the rates they have nearly doubled the rent. And if the tenant cannot pay this exorbitant charge, his goods are sold, and all his .ittle necessaries for housekeep ing are taken from him : he has nowhere to sleep, nor anything to use. His home is broken up, and his family become inmates of a workhouse, and peril:fps fur ever after a' burden on the pa lish. Whereas, were every occupant liable to pay his own rates, his rent would be much less, and where there was an in ability to day, he would have an appeal, and might be excused, and such relief,' little as it may appear, would, in many cases, prevent families becoming paupers. Such relief would be cheer fully given and easily borne by the public. The loss would he scarcely felt. But not so with the landlord : he cannot so easily' excuse the payment, for the loss would fall on himself. Th ere are more families sold up and brought to pauperism in these metropolitan parishes (where the landlords pay the rates) th an in any other part of the country. And, mind, not from a n y harshness or avariciousness on the part of this class of owners, fur they are mostly tradespeople, who are naturally inclined to sympathize with the distresstd, and who would, now and then: very readily put up with the loss Of rent, but they cannot afford to lose that and at the same time be made to pay the tenant's taxes. The principal reason assigned for rating The owner is the difficulty of obtaining rates from the poor. Well, and is there not as much difficulty in obtaining rents? The tit-gatherer possesses all the power that the landlord does. Besides, he has this advantage—the.demand is less, and consequently more likely to be obtained. And if he find great difficolties and losses in his collection, just the same will it be with the land lord: Yet, on this most precarious property, where neither rates nor rents can he obtained without frequently witnessing revolting and oppressive measures, is it not a monstrous act of injustice to throw the whole burden on the owners of small property, thereby depreciating that, and at the same time in ! creasing the poor man's rent ? instead of being a relief, it is clearly an act of oppression; for I will defy any one to prove that it can possibly have tiny tendency at all to reduce rents; but, nn the contrary, to raise if this contemplated bill should pass into a law, it will be found that where rates are high and rents low and diffirult to •be obtained. landlords will find it more to their interest to pull down some of their tenements, and in some parts a less number will be built,.conseqUently‘ rents will be kept up to the highest pitch. The price is regulated by the same principle as that of every other commodity. If they are scarce, rents are higher. The greater the number the cheaper the rent, and the better for the poor; but this new bill will have a direct tendency to prevent this. Yet these quack liberals, these pretended ad viieateS of the working classes, tall it a boon to the poor. when,. in reality, it is an oppression; it is an act to burden little property, and to make the owners of it tax-gatherers on the poor. It ought to be entitled " An act to raise the rents of the poor, and to set the little landlords , to harass and distress them, and • to make small properly worthless." o t s o Such a system olnld thoseegislat local iono and partial actslghttobestrenuox the o l• op by every parish ; a politan parishes that adopt this principle in part o u g ht to be re pealed and put upon the same footing as other parishes in the country. In 18.31, an act was passed to rate the owners instead of the occupiers of small houses in Liverpool; and in 183-1 another act was passed to repeal this; under the following reasons re cited :—" That various rates and assessments had been made by virtue of the said -act, and that the same had occasioned much discontent, and had tended indirectly to the impoverish ment and oppression of the occupiers.". The public-spirited people of Liverpool would not submit to such partial anti unjust legislation ; and it is to he hoped that the metropolitan parishes will follow the example, and no longer quietly suffer such imposition, but at once oppose the practice, and by doing so they may then expect redress, and not before.

December Carthagena LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 8 In the present excited state of our Butter mirket, we feel much difficulty in giving correct quotations; we may, however, say that prices are 5s to 8s per cwt higher since our last report ; and the de mand which is very extensive by no means freely met on the part of holders. Pickled Butter has nor yet been affected to the same extent as dry, we advance our quotations 2s per ewt. Beef comes to market with • a little more freedom, but is still scarce, and prices look up. Pork in good demand at fully supported rates. Bacon begins to be inquired after, and Lard and Hams are in fair repuest. We beg to notice a typographical error which ticeurreil in our Fri day's circular, the stock is there stated at 25,000 firkins Butter,—it should have been 15,000 firkins. BUTTER.—Bellast S.

'0 THE LIVERPOOL iTANDARD. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. Pease. sow some early white Warwicks. Sow cucumber seed in po►s, and place them in a temporary hat-bed, prepare other beds for the reception of the plants. The open weather keeps everything in a gros ing state. and it is easier cut by the frost. Keep a sharp look out for all those that requireyotection. Kitchen gardens generally as last week, unless frost interfere, which will stop most of the operations. Greenhouse and conservatory management continues the same, but care must be taken to guard agaitot frost, though fires are not ads isable even if nights of no frost occurs. Watch ing is necessary. Stove, the same as last week. Bring in successions of flowers for forcing, American plants, hyacinths, pinks, &c. Orchidious plants should be by no means kept growing hard they require rest like other plants.—Gardeners' Gazette. AIM AT THE ATTAINMENT OF CLEAR AND ACCURATE HABITS OF THoUGHT.—ThitlkingiS theexerche which strength ens the mind, anti without which no progress can be made in mental cultivation. A man may read, and hear, and talk—be may devour volumes, and. listen to lectures every night —and yet, if he does not think, he will make after all but little, if any, improvement. His head will be full of something; but it will lie a crowd of lumber, like the articles in a broker's shop. He must fhb& ; he must. turn over subjects in his mind : he must look at them on every side: he must trace the connexion between ideas, and have every thing orderly arranged. A man may even think a great deal, and not Think clearly : his mind may be at work, and yet always in contusion : there may be no clear arrangement ; antra is quite possible to mistake muddi ness for depth. There are some men who appear very thought ful ; but from never aiming at accurate habits of thought, tnes• talk most unintelligibly. There seens to be neither beginning, nor middle, nor end, in what they say; all is a confused jum ble. Now, writing carefully is a timid plan fir acquiring habits of clear and connected thought, since a man is more likely to detect the disorder of his thoughts in writing than iu talking.— Rec. J. Suughton'a Address. REMARKS ON THE POF.TIC GENIUS of BURNS.—The poetic genius of Burns, nourished on scanty learning, and inspired by nature herself, will furnish a text for the philosopher, who spe culates on the influence of book-acquired learning on gifted minds of the first order. rtiilton, on the one hand, stands au example of the poetic benefits of much learning ; whilst Shaks peaie and Burns confront and refute the assertion, that "a iNtle learning is a dangerous thing." That much learning is covetable by a pilot, has liing ceased to be my opinion. In the bare toil of acquiring it, his mind exudes much of its natural strength and sensibility ; but that some learning is useful, has been illustrated by Shakspeare, whose mind—an alembic oil sweets—distilled more of the essential odours of classic mytho logy, and more of the beautiful in classical history, than the Minds of a thousand pedants could have collected. burns. ap parently still leSs learned than Shakspeare never looked back to ancestral inspiration; but was hitmelf an ancester in poetry. I ) my classical p ar ti a li t i es , but I confess the truth (r ea ß o u n r o n t sF ie ,up s v wni ri,,when he d er id es t h ose '' who think to cli m b Parnassus hill by dint of Greek;" and his strokes of nature bring down my conception of the quantum of learning, that is needful for a genuine poet, to the lowest point. I could point out in Burns's songs; thoughts exactly similar to those of beau tiful Greek epigrams. of which Burns could have never heard. Here Burns wrote Greek poetry without having learnt the very characters. When nature takes genius by the hand, she alway, conducts her pupil to the tender and beaUtiful, and by a shorter toad than the learned languages. If I had found Burns at Greek grammar,-1 should have pulled him away from it. Selden one of the greatest of scholars, could afford to say that no mail is ever wiser far his learning. This is untrue in a strict sense. but it is true in a more general view, for we know that the na rural weakness of the mind is only made more rickety by a load of ironing. The best of liurns's poems, in my opinion, is hi' "Tam O'Shanter." it was said of the most perfect Greek sculptures, that they seemed to be rather melted than ehiselleo marble. In like manner, this poem always appears to me as the poet had not written but improvised it ;- as it he had never blotted a line or clipped riff a fragment of its language; but hau cast it off unpremeditated trom the glowing mould of is imagi nation.—The Scenic Annual. .• . .
