Voettp. • MY MOTHER'S I; AME. - Lines occasioned by hearing a Lady say her NA ME was ANNE. BY THE AUTHOR OF THE " SUMMER NIGHT'S LAY." THERE is a NAME that charms me when I'm wounded with the world's keen spite: 'Tis sweet as songs from woodland glen, As morning ends the reign of night. O'er many a land and many a sea, Through many a foreign city's throng, I've wandered, cold as heart could Le, Alike misoothed with love and song. But soon as that sweet N AME has come Across my mem'xv like a dream, My heart has felt a glow of home As pure and warm as summer beam : Yea. like the fav'rite song of one Whose singing first subdues the mind; That NAME my wither'd soul comes on As bland as woman's love is kind. That NAME! oh ! 'twas my mother's NAME! Who loved me with the fondest love! Through health and sickness still the same, Like you unchanging sun above. Oh ! with that NAME, my MOTHER'S form, In all its bloom and beauty, glides A heavenly vision 'mid the storm That roughens life's unsettled tides. If other NAMES have charmed me long, And won my heart's intenser love, Repeated after in m', song, Through many a flow'ry garland wove; Yet none awakens in my mind A melancholy half so sweet As does my MOTHER'S: ever kind It seems with peace my soul to greet. Oh! moonlight on the placid lake! Oh ! morning sunshine on the sea! And nightingales, when first they wake, Their thrilling midnight minstrelsy; And Nature's thousand other things Seen over this terrestrial round, Just as they touch the hidden strings, Which in my untold heart are found, Give joy : but upon sea and land, Mid moonlight ray, and summer flame, There's nothing meets my soul so bland, So gentle as my 31oTnEa's NAME. Edgehill, Liverpool, 20th July, 1838. CON7'EMPORARY PRESS. WHIG APPOINTMENTS. ( From the Morning Herald.) Lord Melbourne (it appears by the Brighton Ga zette) has, lately, appointed Mr. Henry S. Chapman, a member of the commission of inquiry into the state of the hand. loom weavers. Mr. Chapman is a friend of M. Papineau, and has been a sort of sub editor to Mr. Roebuck in his vari ous publications. He has therefore been, as a matter of necessity, an applauder in chorus with Mr. Roe buck, of the proceedings of the Canadian traitors—if not, like Mr. Hume, a direct instigator of their trea son. Such is a sample of the men on whom the whig government bestows its patronage ! We own that we incline to feel surprise at the fact, that Mr. Roebuck himself has been passed over, in the various appointments which have taken place, since his valiant, although somewhat feeble advocacy of those injured " patriots," Papineau and Mackenzie ! We can only solve the difficulty under which we la bour, by supposing that no place good enough for the acceptance of so distinguished a personage as Mr. Roebuck has, within the period we have spoken of, been at Lord Melbourne's disposal. Or, perhaps, Ca nada is Mr. Roebuck's destination. An influential position in Lord Durham's council, were such assigned to Mr. Roebuck, would, doubtless, exercise the most favourable influence on the loyal dispositions of our Canadian fellow-subjects. The movements of our rulers .are, it must be ad mitted, in admirable harmony—be the scene of their operations Canada or Ireland. Mr. Sheil, as a reward for preaching sedition, during ten years, and for pas sively resisting the law during four, is singled out for the especial approbation of the cabinet, and for the enjoyment of a lucrative sinecure commissionership. Mr. O'Connell, as a rew;ird for his f.nmity to England, and in acknowledgment of the justice of the sentence passed upon him by the House of Commons, as a slanderer and caluamiltor, 1104 recently, offered one of the highest judicial ap,i,)) - iLm , -21.115. ti Parliament is about to pay (for the second time) the tithe debts of the resisters of tithe law. in Ireland ! Lord Melbourne has, moreover, just appoin'ed Mr. Chapman—the friend and eulogist of Papineau—to a lucrative commissionership ;—a commissionership, of which the duties will consist in hashing up Malthusian doctrines into the form of a report. Mr. Chapman, in short, will pocket £l,OOO or £1,500 a year, for tell ing the starving hand•loom weavers, in the slang of the economical school to which he belongs, that par liament, which has robbed them of the market for their labour, can do nothing to lessen their miseries. Strenuous, however, as have been the efforts of Lord Melbourne in exalting the friends of law and order to their proper elevation, the first movements of Lord Durham give promise that he will not be easily sur passed in the judicious and becoming distribution of patronage. Already have Mr. Turton and Mr. Wake field been advanced to posts of confidence and emolu ment. Mr. Thomas Duncombe, too, has lately started for the court of the dictator—no doubt, for the purpose of sharing the duties and blushing honours of Messrs. Wakefield and Turton. Mr. Roebuck will, probably, form the next of the ministerial exports to Canada. His ptesence there may, doubtless, be of use in "con ciliating" the disaffected, and checking the progress of treason :—nay, the elevation of Mr. Roebuck to office in Canada may, perhaps, counterbalance the loss which England roust sustain in the retirement of Sir John Colborne ! THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH IN CANADA. ( From the Standard of Saturday.) In the House of Lords last night the Bishop of Exeter accompanied some questions upon the ecclesi astical policy pursued towards Canada—addressed to the Colonial Secretary —by observations equally pro found .and just. The questions of the right rev. lord concerned the neglect of a provision for the members of the Established Church generally, and the marked favour extended to the Church of Rome in the Lower Province. The bishop's observa•ions referred to the injustice to British settlers involved in this neglect and this favour. We beg to extend the consideration, as we have done before, to the case of the many, very many, British subjects .vho are not settlers, but who would be settlers if the state should render the colo nies a fit residence for Christian Englishmen. We speak from our own knowledge when we affirm, that the want of an adequate religious establishment deters hundreds, nay thousands, annually, from fixing their lot in these young, and, as well as soil, climate, and temporal circumstances go, most inviting provinces— where their loyalty, industry, and habits of morality and order, would, beyond calculation, augment the wealth and strength of the empire. Do not these men suffer a grievous injustice ? In common with their fellow-subjects they pay for the defence of the colonies from which they are shut out, and have paid their full share of the cost of acquiring them ; but the injustice to the empire is still greater, if possible. The neglect of providing the means of religious instruction limits emigration to classes by no means the best in any sense—to classes the least regardful of education or of manners, or of whatever civilises man—the least attached to British habits and the British connection, that men of British birth can be. The presence of a clergyman of the Church of Eng land, within an easy distance of every family of colo nists, would be a guarantee that the manners and prin ciples of civilised and gentlemanly life would not fall into disuetude—that the advantages of education, and the taste for letters, would be still held in sight of the rising race. The presence and services of such a man would offer a constant check to the . tendency to li centious and irreligious habits inseparable from the wild life of the woods—that tendency which is hurry ing back the rural population of the United States to primitive barbarism. Is it to be supposed that without such a guarantee, thoughtful and moral Englishmen of the higher, or even yeoman class, will abandon Eng land, its soft and secure and enlightened society,•its decent parish churches and orderly population, for a co ntinent where, p er h aps, ta k en as a w h o l e , the wild native Indians supply the best home raised examples of life and morals ? And are settlers so indifferent to the faith of their fathers as flippantly to dispense with this g-uarante , , 1 , 1 o“, ;t1'.14/Pri sub jects of the Briti,!) crow n ? • feeling, the amor patrite occup•A „ ligious feeling h a ppily holds amon g sincer e Ch r i st i ans , the ideassentire de republica was held to be the most secure and the only infallible bond of friendship. How much stronger bond is the idem sentire de veritate in our age, was nobly proved by the conduct of the A rne _ rican loyalists during the war of separation—is proved by the unshaken loyalty of the Irish Protestants under the provocation of a thousand wrongs and insults from this country. This principle has preserved Ireland to the empire for three centuries—this principle would have prevented the alienation of the United States, had it been effectually and honestly applied—this prin ciple will yet ensur e a greater empire in the remaining American colonies if it is boldly and liberally acted upon. If, however, we send out no colonists but those who are so indifferent to the services of the church as to dispense with those services in pursuit of temporal convenience or some temporal gain, th e -fate of the United States will tell us the destiny of the adjacent provinces —the colonists will have proved their indif ference to the British soil, to British habits, and to the religion of Britain. While the connection may seem to Offer present advantages, they will, perhaps,sullenly submit to it ; hut let this appearance of advantages cease—let temptation from arm: Ttttertrwrter offer, and, bound by no patriotic, religious, or other moral tie, they w ill di sc l a i m t h e link— the link of merely worldly interest, the only one that they ever acknow ledged, and one that will seem no longer to exist. We own that it is in this view that we look with most alarm in the cond uct of Lord Durham. How can the patron of Messrs. Turto o and Wakefield assume the patron age of religious institutions? Even if he should sin cerely wish to promot e the moral and religious im provement of the colonies, Lord Durham has disqua lified himself for doing so by conduct which would present his best exertions in tliat behalf as acts of gross hypocrisy. Mr. Jefferson, under a constitution that leaves it to every man to choose his religion or his no religion without even the intrusion of advice, might consistently, perhaps, profess his disregard of the . M oral and religious character of the agents whom he should call into the public service; but with us the morals and religion of the people are, as they ought to be everywhere, a part of the business of the govern ment; and the sovereign, or minister of a sovereign, •who, either by his own conduct or by the selection of those upon whom be confers favour, proves himself careless in this respect, disables himself from discharg ing one of his most important duties. Still, as Lord Durham may be induced to retract his wretched ap pointments—as his lordship at least is not to be always Governor of the American colonies—we may hope that these colonies will be made, sooner or later, Church of England settlements—lac-similes of British so ciety, and, as such, inseparable members of our em pire, the affluence and the power of which, rightly go verned, they may multiply fourfold. TWO MONTHS AFTER MARRIAGE. (From "Oliver Twist" in Bentley's Miscellany for July. Mr. Bumble sat in the workhouse parlour; with his eyes moodily fixed on the cheerless grate, whence, as it was sum mer time, no brighter gleam proceeded than the reflection of certain sickly rays of the sun, which were sent back from its cold and shining surface. A paper fly-cage dangled from the ceiling, to which he occasionally . raised his eyes in gloomy thought; and, as the heedless insect hovered round the guady net-work, Mr. Bumble would heave a deep sigh, while a more gloomy shadow overspread his countenance. Mr. Bumble was meditating, and it might be that the insects brought to mind some painful passage in his own past life. Nor was Mr. Bumble's gloom the only thing calculated to awaken a pleasing melancholy in the bosom of a spectator. There were not wanting other appearances, and those closely connected with his own person, which announced that a great change had taken place in the position of his affairs. The laced coat and the cocked hat, where were they? He still wore knee-breeches and dark cotton stockings on his nether limbs, but they were not the breeches. The coat was wide skirted, and in that respect like the coat, but, ob, how diffe rent! The mighty cocked-bat was replaced by a modest round one. Mr. Bumble was no longer a beadle. There are some promotions in life which, independent of the more substantial rewards they offer, acquire peculiar va lue and dignity, from the coats and waistcoats connected with. him. A field-marshal has his uniform, a bishop his silk apron, a counseller his silk gown, a beadle his cocked hat. Strip the bishop of his apron, or the beadle of his cocked hat and gold lace, what are they? Men,—mere men. Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoe, than some people imagine. Mr. Bumble had married Mrs. Corney, and was master of the workhouse. Another beadle had come into power, and on him the cocked hat, gold-laced coat and staff, had all three descended. "And to-morrow two months it was done!" said Mr. Bumble with a sigh. "It seems an age." Mr. Bumble might have meant that he had concentrated a whole existence of happiness into the short space of eight weeks • but the sigh—there was a vast deal of meaning in the sigh. " I sold myself," said Mr. Bumble, pursuing the same train of reflection, " for six tea-spoons, a pair of sugar tongs, and a milk-pot, with a small quantity of second-hand furniture, and twenty pound in money. I went very reasonable— cheap, dirty cheap." " Cheap !" cried a shrill voice in Mr. Bumble's ear: "You would have been dear at any price; and dear enough I paid for you, Lord above knows that." Mr. Bumble turned and encountered the face of his inte resting consort, who, imperfectly comprehending the few words she had overheard of his complaint, had hazarded the foregoing remark at a venture. " Mrs. Bumble, ma'am !" said Mr. Bumble, with senti mental sternness. " Well," cried the lady. " Have the goodness to look at me," said Mr. Bumble, fixing his eyes upon her. " If she stands such an eye as that," said Mr. Bumble to . himself, "she can stand anything. It is an eye I never knew to fail with paupers, and if it fails with her my power is gone." Whether an exceedingly small expansion of eye is sufficient to quell paupers, who, being lightly fed, are in no very high condition, or whether the late Mrs. Corney was particularly proof against eagle glances, are matters of opinion. The matter of fact is, that the matron was in no way overpowered by Mr. Bumble's scowl, but, on the contrary, treated it with great disdain, and even raised a laugh thereat, which sound ed as though it were genuine. On hearing this most unexpected sound, Mr. Bumble looked first incredulous, and afterwards amazed. He then relapsed into his former state; nor did he rouse himself until his attention was again awakened by the voice of his partner. "Are you going to sit. snoring there all day?" inquired Mrs. Bumble. " I am going to sit here as long as I think proper, ma'am," rejoined Mr. Bumble; " and although I was not snoring, I shall snore, gape. sneeze, laugh, or cry, as the humour strikes me, such being my prerogative." Your prerogative!" sneered Mrs. Bumble, with ineffable c!)1' I said the word, ma'am," observed Mr. Bumble. " The prerogative cif a man is to command." " And what's the prerogative of a woman, in the name of goodness? cried the relict of Mr. Corney deceased. "To obey, ma'am," thundered Mr. Bumble. "Your late unfortunate husband should have taught it you, and then, perhaps, he might have been alive now. I wish he was, poor man !" Mrs. Bumble, seeing at a glance that the decisive moment had now arrived, and that a blow struck for the mastership ou one side or other must necessarily be final and conclusive, no sooner heard this allusion to the dead and gone, than she dropped into a chair, and, with aloud scream that Mr. Bum ble was a hard-hearted brute, fell into a. paroxysm of tears. But tears were not the things to find their way to Mr. Bumble's soul; his heart was water proof. Like wholesale beaver hats, that improve with rain, his nerves were rendered stouter and more vigorous by showers of tears, which, being tokens of weakness, and so far tacit admissions of his own power, pleased and exalted him. He eyed his good lady with looks of great satisfaction, and begged, in an en couraging manner, that she would cry her hardest, tbe ex ercise being looked upon by the faculty as strongly con ducive to health. " It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper," said Mr. Bumble; " so cry away." As he discharged himself of this pleasantry, Mr. Bumble took his hat from a peg, and putting it rather rakishly on one side, as a man might do who felt he had asserted his superi ority in a becoming manner, thrust his hands into his pockets, and sauntered towards the door with much ease and waggish ness depicted in his whole appearance. Now Mrs. Corner, that was, had tried the tears, because they were less troublesome than a manual assault; but she was quite prepared to make trial of the latter mode of pro ceeding, as Mr. Bumble was not long in discovering. The first proof he experienced of the fact was conveyed in a hollow sound, immediately succeeded by the sudden flying off of his hat to the opposite end of the room. This prelimi nary proceeding laying bare his head, the expert lady, clasp ing him tight round the throat with one hand, inflicted a shower of blows (dealt with singular vigour and dexterity) upon it with the other. This done, she created a little vari ety by scratching his face and tearing his hair off, and hav ing by this time inflicted as much punishment as she deemed necessary for the offence, she pushed him over a chair, which was luckily well situated for the purpose, and defied him to talk about his prerogative again if he dared. " Get up," said Mrs. Bumble in a voice of command, " and take yourself away from here, unless you want me to do something desperate." Mr. Bumble rose with a very rueful countenance. wonder ing much what something desperate might be, and picking up his hat, looked towards the door. " Are you going?" demanded Mrs. Bumble. " Certainly, my dear, certainly," rejoined Mr. Bumble, making a quicker motion towards the door. •' I didn't in tend to—l'm going, my dear—yon are so very violent, that really I—" At this instant Mrs. Bumble stepped hastily forward to replace the carpet, which had been kicked up in the scuffle, and Mr. Bumble immediately darted out of the room without bestowing another thought on his unfinished sentence, leav ing the late Mrs. Corney in full possession of the field. Mr. Bumble was fairly taken by surprise, and fairly beaten. He had a decided bullying propensity, deriving no inconsi derable pleasure from the exercise of petty cruelty, and con sequently was (it is needless so say) a coward. This is by no means a disparagement to his character; for many official personages, who are held in high respect and admiration, are the victims of similar infirmities. The remark is made, indeed, rather in his favour than otherwise, and with the view of impressing the reader with a just sense of his quali fications for office. But the measure of his degradation was not yet full. After making a tour of the house, and thinking for the first time that the Poor Laws really were too hard upon people, and that men who ran away from their wives, leaving them charge able to the parish, ought in justice to be visited with no pu nishment at all, but rather rewarded as meritorious individu als who had suffered much, Mr. Bumble came to a room where some of the female paupers were usually employed in wash ing the parish linen, and whence the sound of voices in con versation now proceeded. " Hem !" said Mr. Bumble, summoning up all his native dignity. "'These women at least shall continue to respect the prerogative. Hallo! hallo there I—what do you mean by this noise, you hussies ?" With these words Mr. Bumble opened the door and walked in with a very fierce and angry manner, which was at once ex changed for a most humiliated and cowering air, as his eyes unexpectedly rested on the form of his lady wile. "My dear," said Mr. Bumble, " I didn't know you were here." " Didn't know I was here !" repeated Mrs. Bumble." What do you do here ?" "I thought they were talking rather too much to he doing their work properly, my dear," replied Mr. Bumble, g l anc i ng distractedly at a couple of old women at the wash-tub, who were comprising notes of admiration at the workhouse nuts ter's humility. "Ynu thought they were talking' too much ?" said Mrs. Bumble. " What nusiness is it of ?" " Why, my dear-" urged Mr. Bumble submissively. "What business is it of yours?" demanded Mrs. Bumble true you're matron here. " but I thought. Sou mightn't Jt_,iu tue ar," • ust 7 "I'll tell you what, Mr. Bumble," returned his lady, " we don't want any of your interference, and you're a great deal too fond of poking your nose into things that don't concern you, making everybody in the house laugh the moment your back is turned, and making yourself look like a fool every hour in the day. Be off; come!" Mr. Bumble, seeing with excruciating feelings the delight of the two old paupers who were tittering together most rap turously, hesitated for an instant. Mrs. Bumble, whose pa tience brooked no delay, caught up a bowl of soap-suds, and motioning him towards the door, ordered hitt instantly to de palrvt, hat pain of t r i e r c . .Beivuimngbie do? He looked contentslhe npot dejectedly hisupon e p c o te r d tl i y y d p r e o r u s n on : and slunk away ; and as he reached the door the tittering of the paupers broke into a shrill chuckle of irrepressible de light. It wanted but this. He was degraded in their eves; he had lost caste and station before the very paupers; he - had fallen from all the height and pomp of headieship to the lowest depth of the most snubbed ben-peckery. "All in two months!" said Mr. Bumble, filled with dismal thoughts. "Two months—not more than two months ago I was not only my own master, but every body else's so , far as the parochial workhouse was concerned, and now ! ' It was too much. Mi. Brumble boxed the.ears of the boy who opened the gate for him, (for he had reached the portal in his reverie,) and walked distractedly into the street. He walked tip one street and down another, until exercise had abated th e first passion of his gidef,,,-AnciAti.e..n.- Like sion of feeling mad e bi ro thi rsty . tie passed a great many public-houses, anti at length paused before one in a bye-way, whose parlour, as he gathered from a hasty peep over the blinds, was deserted save by one solitary customer. It began to rain heavily, at the moment, and this determined him; Mr. Bumble stepped in, and ordering something to drink as he passed the bar, entered the apartment into which he bad looked from the street. Thecian who was seated there was tall and dark, and wore a large cloak. He had the air of a stranger, and seemed, by a certain haggardness in his look, as well as by the dusty soils on his dress, to have travelled some distance. He eyed Bumble askance as he entered, but scarcely deigned to nod his head in acknowledgment of his salutation. Mr. Bumble had quite dignity enough for two, supposing even that the stranger bad been more familiar, so be drank his gin-and-water in silence, rnd read the paper with great pomp and importance. It so happened, however—as it will happen very often when men fall into company under• such ciicumstances—that Mr. Bumble felt every now and then a powerful inducement, which he could not resist, to steal a look at the stranger, and that whenever he did so,-he withdrew his eyes in. some con fusion., to find that the stranger was at that moment stealing a look at him. Mr. Bumble's awkwardness was enhanced by the very remarkable expression of the.stranger's eye, which was keen and bright, but shadowed by a scowl of distrust and suspicion unlike anything he had ever observed before, and most repulsive to behold. _ _ _ When . they had encountered each other's glance several times in this way, the stranger, in a harsh, deep voice, broke silence. " Where you lool‘ing for me," he said, "when you peered in at the window ?" " Not that lam aware of, unless you're Mr. -." Here Mr. Bumble stopped short, for he was curious to know the stranger's name, and thought, in his impatience, he might supply the blank. I see you were not," said the stranger, an expression of quiet sarcasm playing about his mouth, " or you would have known my name. You don't know it, and I should recom mend you not to inquire:" " I meant no harm, young man," observed Mr. Bumble majestically. " And have done none," said the stranger. Another silence succeeded this short dialogue, which was again broken by the stranger. '" I have seen you before, I think," said he. " You were differently dressed at that time, and I only passed you in the street, but I should know you again. You were beadle here once, were you not ?" " I was," said Mr. Bumble. in some surprise. " ParocLial beadle." " Just so," rejoined the other, nodding his bead. "It was in that character I saw you. What are you now ?" "Master of the work itouse," rejoined Mr. Bumble slowly and impressively, to check any undue familiarity the stranger might otherwise assume. "Master of-the workhouse,. young man !" "You have the same eye to your own interests that you always have had, I doubt not ?" resumed the stranger, look-. ing keenly into Mr. Bumble's eyes as lie raised them in as tonishment at the question. "Don't scruple to answer freely, man, I know you pretty well, you see." "I suppose a married man," replied Mr Bumble, shading his eyes with his hand, and surveying the stranger from head to foot in evident perplexity, "is not more averse to turning an honest penny when he can than a single one. Parochial officers are not so well paid that they can afford to refuse any little extra fee, when it comes to them in a civil and proper manner." The stranger smiled, and nodded his head again, as much as to say he found he had not.mistaken hid ►nan ; then rang the bell. " Fill this glass again," he said, handing Mr. Bumble's empty tumbler to the landlord. " Let it be strong and hot. You like it so, I suppose ?" " Not too strong," replied Mr. Bumble, with a delicate cough. " You underitand what that means, landlord !" said the stranger drily. The host smiled, disappeared, and shortly afterwards re turned with a steaming jorum, of which the first gulph brought the water into Mr. Bumble's eyes. " Now, listen to me," said the stranger, after closing the door and window. " 1 came down to this place to-day to find you out, and, by one of those chances which the devil throws in the way of his friends sometimes, you walked into the very room I was sitting in while you were uppermost in my mind. I want some information from you, and dont' ask you to give it for nothing, slight as it is. Put up that to begin with." As he spoke be pushed a couple of sovereigns across the table to his companion carefully, as though unwilling that . thc chinking of money should be heard without; and when Mr. Bumble had scrupulously examined the coins to see that they were genuine, and put them up with much satisfaction in his waistcoat pocket, he went on. "Carry your memory back—let me see—twelve years last winter." " It's a long time," said Mr. Bumble. done it." " The scene the Workhouse." " Good !" "And the time night." " Yes." "Very good. I've " And the place the crazy hole, wherever it was, in which miserable drabs brought forth the life and health so often de nied to themselves—gave birth to puling children for the parish to rear, and hid their shame, rot 'em, in the grave." "The lying-in room, I suppose that means?" said Mr. Bumble, not quite following the stranger's excited descrip tion. "Yes," said the stranger. "A boy was born there." " A many boys," observed Mr. Bumble, shaking his head despondingly. " A murrain on the young devils I" cried the stranger im patiently; "1 speak of one, a meek-looking, pale-faced hound, who was apprenticed, down here, to a coffin-maker, (I wish he bad made his coffin, and screwed his body in it;) and who afterwards ran away, to London, as it was sup posed." " Why, you mean Oliver--young Twist ?" said Mr. Bum ble; " I rember him, of course. ['here wasn't a onstinater .young rascal— " It's nut of him I want to hear ; I've heard enough of him," said the stranger, stopping Mr. Bumble in the very outset of a tirade on the subject of poor Oliver's vices.— "It's of a woman—the hag that nursed his mother. Where is she?" " Where is she?" said Mr. Bumble, whom the gin and water had rendered facetious. "It would be hard to tell. There's no midwifery there, whichever place she's gone to; so I suppose she's out of employment any way." " What do you mean ?" demanded the stranger, sternly. • "That she died last winter," rejoined Mr. Bumble. The man looked .fixedly at hint when he had given this information, and although he did 'not. withdraw his eyes for some time afterwards, his gaze gradually became vacant and abstracted, and he seemed lost in thought.. For some time he appeared doubtful whether he ought to be relieved or dis appointed by the intelligence, but at length he breathed more freely, and withdrawing his eyes, observed that it was no great matter, and rose as if to depart. Mr Bumble was cunning enough, and he at once saw that an opportunity was opened for the lucrative disposal of some secret in the possession of his better half. He well remembered the night of old Sally's death, which the occur rences of that day had given him good reason to recollect as the occasion on which ire - had vroposed to Mrs. Carney; and although that lady had sever confided to him the disclosure of which she had ° been the solitary witness, he had heard enough to know that it related to something that had oc- curred in the old woman's attendance as workhouse nurse, upon the young mother of Oliver Twist. Hastily calling this circumstance to mind, he informed the stranger, with an air of mystery, that one woman had been closetted with the old harridan shortly before she died, and that she could, as he bad reason to believe, throw some light on the subject of his in quiry. " How can I find her?" said the stranger, thrown off his guard, and plainly showing that all his fears (whatever they were) were aroused afresh by the intelligence. "Only through me," rejoined Mr. Bumble. "'When?" cried the stranger hastily. " To.morrow," rejoined Bumble. "At nine in the evening," said the stranger, producing a scrap of paper, and writing down an obscure address, by the water-side, upon it, in characters that betrayed his agitation, "at nine in the evening, bring her to me there. I needn't tell you to be secret, for it's your own interest." With these words he led the way to the door, after stopping to pay for the liquor that had been drunk; and shortly re marking that their roads were different, departed without more ceremony than an emphatic repetition of the hour of appointment for the following night. On glancing at the address, the parochial functionary ob served that it contained no natre. The stranger had not gone so far, so he made after him to ask it. " Who's that ?" cried the man turning quickly round as Bumble touched him on the arm; "following me." "Only to ask a question," said the other, pointing to the scrap of paper. " What name am Ito ask for?" "MONKS !" rejoined the man, and strode hastily away. SELECT EXTRACTS. SAXON LADIES.—A tourist in Germany gives the follow ing description of the Saxon ladies :—" Ladies are models of industry : whether at home or abroad, knitting and needle work, no interruption. A lady going to a route would think little of forgetting her fan, but could not spend hail an hour without her implements of female industry. A man would be quite pardonoble for doubting, on entering such a drawing room, whether he had not strayed into a school of industry ; and whether he was not expected to cheapen stockings, instead of dealing in small talk. At Dresden it is carried so far that even the theatre is not protected against stocking wires. I have seen a lady gravely lay down her work, wipe away the tears which the sorrows of Theckla, in Wallanstein's death, had brought into her eyes, and immediately resume her knit ting,", , COUCH GRASS.—A HINT TO FARMERS.—I further beg to call the attention of British agriculturists to the use which is made, in Italy, of "couch grass," which, in this country, is collected in the fields into heaps and burnt in pure waste. The long gramineous under-ground shoots of couch grass, in French called chien dent, in Italian gra'mminia, when fresh dug up are crisp, tender, and of a flavour not unlike aspara gus, but sweeper. Sarsaparilla is a near relation to it, and Italian physicians as frequently order decoctions of the one as of the other to their scorbutic patients; and some assert assert that the gramminia is the better detergent of the two. But this is not the purpose to which I should like to see gramminia applied in this country, but as a most excellent,. wholesome, and favourite food for horses. The children of the Italian peasant will follow the plough and the harrow, and collect as much couch grass roots as pays for their own keep. After the couch is picked, it is well washed, and be comes as white as snow. It is then tied into bundles of about two feet long and six inches diameter, then kept in or well sprinkled with clean water Until served out to the pur chaser, who himself generally throws the bundles in the never-failing clear fountain of an Italian court-yard before he gives it to his horses. Of this gramminia or of carrot the Italians always give to their horses (in the spring and sum mer at least) a certain nurnber of bundles every day at 12 o'clock. Upwards of forty thousand pounds sterling worth of gramminia is thus annually sold by the peasants to the inhabitants of the city of Naples alone. In this country every bit of this valuable provender is burnt on the ground which produce it. In Italy the peasants are very thankful for being allowed to pick couch grass from off the fields, and often pay for it ; in England many hands are employed, at tvac. , ,es, to pick up and burn it.—Colonel Maceroni's Memoirs. NUMBER OF TIIVELI.EiiS BY STAGE COACHES IN GREAT B RITA IN.—Upon making a calculation (by a method previ ously explained) for the whole number of stage coaches that possessed licenses at the end of the year 1&34, it appears that the means of conveyance thus provided for travelling are equivalent to the conveyance, during the year, of one person for the distance 597,159,420 miles, or more than six times the distance between f,dite.aa t gitl h tirlso e ettueth e tetim a nh r t,u t r, the rBhs et sun.

We shall probably go to the utmost extent in assuming, that not more than 1-sth, or two millions of persons, travel in that manner, and it places in a strong point of view the activity which pervades this country when we thus arrive at the con ssirsaioartbat, ewe*" of tive.wiriv•rwwfte s e n iciet v Ana-tire , ame rag e e I onland by some public conveyance 180 miles in the course of the year. This calculation is exclusive of ail travelling in post chaises, in private carriages, and by steam vessels, the amount of which there are not any . means for estimating. It affords a good measure of the relative importance of the me tropolis to the . remainder of the country, that, of the above number of 597,159,420, the large proportion of 409,052,644 is the product of stage coaches, Which are licensed to run from London to various parts of the kingdom. The licenses, which have formed the groundwork of the calculations, include all public conveyances proceeding between one part of England and another part of England, as well as those conveyances which travel between England and Scotland, but not such as begin and end their journeys in Scotland; and their tra vellingin Ireland is wholly excluded —Progress of the Nation, by G. R. Porter, vol. 11, ANGLOMANIA OF MURAT..--MUrat Was what the French denominate a decided " Aug/war/We." He liked *everything that was English ; and certainly at the present day the English have in many things got before their neighbours by several lustres. He had English maids and govirnesses for his four children (two boys and two girls), English grooms for his.numerous English horses, English curricles and other carriages, Manton's fowling-pieces, and "English Port wine." --Life of Colonel Maceioni. SCIENCE IN TURKEY.—The celebrated Professor Rate! has just returned to Berlin from his travels in the east, and among the facts of minor importance which he relates is one which cannot fail to excite a smile. The scientific instru ments which are so often presented to the Sultan are by him distributed indiscriminately in equal portions, without any reference to the purposes for which they are intended : thus the school of su►gery frequently receives mathematical in struments, while the military schools are honoured with those intended for surgical operations.—Athenceum. AN AMERICAN JUDGE.—There he sat, with his hat on, a cigar in his mouth, his arms folded, and. his feet over the rail, looking as sour as an unripe lemon. " Bring up them culprits," said he ; and when they were brought up be told 'em it was scandalous, and only fit for English and ignorant foreigners, that sit in the outer porch of darkness, and not high-minded intelligent Americans. "You are a disgrace," said he, "to our great nation, and I hope I.shall never hear the like of it again. If I do, I'll put you on your trial as sure as you are born. I hope I may be skinned alive by wild cats if I don't."—Sam Slick. SNAILS.—In the Gardener's Gazette I saw an extract from a Scotch paper, recommending bran as a decoy for snails, which I have tried, and found it quite effectual. I bad been much annoyed, and my plants had suffered much by . them; and 1 could not find any remedy but that of examining the the plants separately and frequently, which was very tedious; but by laying small patches of bran in the vacant squares of cauliflower, lettuce, and other beds of vegetables, I find snails, a small black worm, which I believe is the germ of the black snail, and many other insects congregated there, and have seldom found any on my plants since, If the patches of bran be covered so as to keep it dry, it seems to be more attractive to the vermin, and that is easily done by broken flowerpots, pieces of slate, &c.—From a correspondent of the Gardener's Gazette. THE MARKET-PLACE AT NEWCASTLE.—Learn, therefore, that there is here the largest market-place in England —pro bably in Europe. Liverpool has been in dudgeon ever since its erection; the cauliflowers there have invatiably exhibited the jaundiced tint of jealousy, and the meat looking red and black with passion, in consequence. Tne markets in New-. castle cover somewhat more than two acres ; measuring 4,0 feet in length by 312 in width. The roof is of wood, with pendant corbels; the sides are of substantial stone. The whole'is loity, capacious, and calculated for every good ser vice, as well as picturesque effect. At given stations, there are fountains of marble in the centre; of which the water, in warm weather, refrigerates and sweetens the whole atmos phere. It is a glorious vista—and was once occupied (on the opening of the markets Oct. 22, in 1835) by two thousand guests; irradiated by gas light.—Dr. Dibain's Northern Tour. MODE OF PREVENTING BEER FROM BECOMING ACID.— A patent has been taken out, in America, for preserving beer from becomingtcid in hot weather, or between the tempe ratures of 74 and 94 deg. To every 174 gallons of liquor, the patentee, Mr. Storewell, directs the use of one pound of raisins, in the following manner:—" Put the raisins, into the liquor before fermentation; the liquor may then be let down at 65 deg. or as high as 70 deg. The bag containing the raisins must remain in the vat, until the process of fer mentation has so far advanced as to produce a white appear ance, or scum, all over the the surface of the liquor, which will probably lake place in about 24 hours. The bag con taining the raisins must then be taken out, and the liquor left until fermentation ceases The degree of heat, in the place where the vat is situated, should not exceed 66 deg. nor be less than 60 deg."—Journal of the Franklin institution. The Arabs possess extraordinary sagacity in tracing foot steps upon the sand; they can generally ascertain from in specting the impression -1. Whether the footsteps belong to his own or some neighbouring tribe, and consequently whe ther friend or foe has passed-2. He knows, from the slight ness or depth of the impression whether the man who made it carried a load or not-3. From the strength or faintness of the tracts whether he passed on the same day, or one or two days before—and 4. From a certain regularity of inter vals between the steps a Bedouin judges whether the man is fatigued or not, and hence be can calculate the chalice of overtaking him. This faculty of distinguishing footsteps on the ground extends to beasts (horses and camels) as well as men. An offender can scarcely hope to escape detection in any clandestine proceeding as his passage is recorded upon the road in characters that any one of his Arabian neigh bours can read.—Robinson's Travels in Palestine and Syria. AMERICA.—Did you ever drink any Thames water, squire? said the Clockmaker; because it is one of the greatest natu ral _curiosities ever known in the world. When I returned from Poland, in the hair spekelation, I sailed from London, and we had Thames water on board. Says Ito the captain, says I, I guess you want to pyson us, don't you, with that are nasty, dirty, horrid stuff? how can you think o' takin' such water as that ? Why, says he, Mr. Slick, it does make the best water in the world—that's a fact; yes, and the best porter too;—it farments, works off the scum, clarifies itself, and beats all natur';—and yet look at all them are sewers, and drains, and dye stuffs, and factory-wash, and onmention elites that are poured into it;—it beats the bugs, don't it ? Well, squire, our great country is like that are Thames water, -it does receive the outpoinin's of the world,—homicides and regecides, jail-birds and galley-birds, —poor-house chaps and workhouse-chaps,—rebels, infidels, and forgers,—rogues of all sorts, sizes, and degrees,—but it farments, you see, and works clear;_ and what a'most a beautif u l c l ear st ream o' democracy it does make,—don't it? Not hot enough for fog, nor cold enough for ice, nor limey enough to fur up the hvlers, nor too bard to wash clean, nor raw enough to chop the skin.—but gist the thing; that's a fact.—Sam Slick, the Clockmaker. E kIITHENWARL—There is scarcely any manufacture which is so interesting to contemplate in its gradual improvement and extension, as that of earthenware, presenting, as it does, so beautiful a union of science and art, in furnishing us with the comforts and ornaments of polished life. Chemistry ad ministers her part by investigating the several species of earths, and ascertaining as well their most appropriate corn- Linatiocs, as the respective degrees of heat which the several compositions require. Art has studied the designs of an tiquity, and produced from them vessels even more exquisite in form than the models by which they have been suggested. The ware has been provided in such gradations of quality as to suit every station, from the highest to the lowest. It is to be seen in every country, and almost in every house, through the whole extent of America, iri many parts of Asia, and in most of the countries of Europe. At home it has superseded the less cleanly vessels of pewter and of wood, and by its cheapness has been brought within the means of our poorest housekeepers. Formed from substances originally of no value, the fabrication has •produced labour of such various classes, and created skill of such various degrees, that nearly the whole value of the annual produce may be considered as an addition made to the mass of national wealth. The abund ance of the ware exhibited in every dwelling is sufficient evi dence of the vast augmentation of the manufacture, which is also demonstrated by the rapid increase of the population in the district where the potteries have been established. — Quarterly Review. ANECDOTES of PIIINCE TALLEYRAND.—The following anecdotes are from a literary and political autobiography by M. Heiberg, a Dane, who was for twenty years an attaché to the ministry for foreign affairs in France. In speaking of the zeal necessary in the service of the bureaux, Prince Talleyrand humourously and wittily said, "I think zeal and activity in the public services should exist in the inverse ratio with the importance of the places occupied. Thus it is highly proper for me as the minister to possess little zeal; you, M. Roux, chef de divisien, must have a little more than I ; you, M. Chellaye, in your capacity of copyist, have need of a great deal of zeal and activity; and as to a aarcon de bureau, he never can have enough. 111. Heiberg entering one evening the apartment of the minister, expecting to find him quite alone, was surprised to see him seated at his writing table, and near him M. Labesnardiere, his secretary and confident. He was about to retire, but the minister bid him stay. The surprise of M. Heiberg was still greater, when he heard M. Labesnardiere dictating, and Talleyrand writing to the dictation of his secretary. The fact was, the prince was obliged every second or third day to make a re port to the emperor in his own handwriting, and in order to save himself the trouble of collecting the necessary informa tion, he found it shorter and less troublesome to have the report dictated to him by his confidential secretary. On one occasion, when Talleyrand was in vain seeking one of his secretaries, M. Heiberg volunteered his services. The mi nister accepted his offer, and told him to take a magnificent sheet 'of paper and write a letter for him to the Empress Josephine. While he was preparing to write, Talleyrand went to his writing table, and began to examine his papers; after a short interval he said, " Well, is the letter finished ?" " Your excellency has not told me what to write." "Simple man I" replied the prince; "in writing to a lady one always commences with speaking of her wit, beauty, and grace—the rest is fur the postscript.' NELSON AND WELLINGTON.—An al tick in the Edinburgh Review, just published, contains the following account of the only interview that ever took place between these two illus trious warriors:-- 7 " The Duke, then Sir Arthur Wellesley, had just returned front his ever-memorable campaign in India ; but his fame, though high amongst those who knew anything of the concerns of that remote region, bad not yet become so familiar to the mass of society at home as to render it profitable to the print-sellers and tavern-keepers to exhibit his physiognomy to the public gaze. Consequently, the features now so familiar to all were then so little known, even to-Nelson, that; when he found himself one day in the waiting-room of one of the secretaries of state in company with the great eastern warrior, he knew him not. It was otherwise with Nelson, whose deeds, having been performed nearer home, were far better, or, at 11 events, more generally kriown; and with whose appearance Sir Arthur could not but be well acquainted, even had he no other help than the signs over the inn doors on his way from Portsmouth. The natural attraction of genius drew them together, and the mi nister whose leisure they were waiting . for, being long engaged, these two illustrious men were left in conversation for some time. The news of Sir Robert Calder's action had just been received, and this naturally formed a principal topic of their discourse. Sir Arthur Wellesley said to Lord Nelson— " This measure of success won't do now-a-days, for your lordship has taught the public to expect something more brilliant." Shortly after this remark Lord Nelson left the waiting-room, evidently to find out who his new friend was , and, returning in a minute, renewed the conversation on a fresh footing. Nelson had at that time some project for oc cupying Sardinia, and he wished Sir Arthur to take charge of the troops on the occasion. But he replied that he would rather not—that he had just returned from India—in short; he did not enter into that view. Soon afterwards Lord Nelson sailed—the battle of Trafalgar was fought, and they never met again." LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, JULY 21. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. J. E. Partington and B.

INTO RUNCORN, From the 17th to the 19th July, Ulventone 70 tons ore, LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET; JULY 23. At present our dry Butter market assumes rather a steady ap pearance ; prices, however, are nominally sustained, and that simply on account of a little improvement in London. We are of opinion that, in the face of the very heavy weekly arrivals which we have, and the ascertained fact that the make on both sides the Channel was never more abundhnt;—prices must rule moderate during the season. Belfast may be quoted at 90s to 92s ; favourite South of Ireland brands 90s ; Cork (London p a rticular) 92s ; Newry, Banbridge, private inspection, and things of that sort, any price from 80s to 85s, There is considerable steadiness in the Pickled Butter market, hut operations very trivial ; at 86s to 85s.—Our an ticipations about the price. of Beef, Pork, and Bacon are realized. we quite agree with the speculatire opinion of a certain cominercial print, that the demand for some months will be good and the cur reney well supported.
