' Vottrp. ILLUSTRATIONS OF POPERY.—No. 2. A PURCHASE FROM PURGATORY. There liv'd a priest once—Father Jem— His church's ornament and glory, A famous hand was he—chem! At clearing souls from Purgatory. He free'd so many—holy man ! That it was long uncertain whether It would not be the wisest plan To shut the place up altogether. No sooner was a soul sent in, And pious Jent well fee'd and feasted— Than he—no matter what the sin— , Straight said his Paudereens and releas'd it. That class his aid were sure to seek Who wore the Virgin Mary's livery,* To them he promised once a week A full and general "jail delivery." He was, too, in his priestly way, Neither severe, nor stern, nor mopish— The spiritual Mulgrave of his day, Honester far but not so Popish. We've just now hinted, though, that he Before be pray'd made one condition — Who sought his aid and brought no fee Got from his reverence no petition ! Now near this priest it came to pass There liv'd a griping idoliser, Who car'd not six-pence for a mass, A keen, thin, hard, rapacious miser. And this old square-toes bad a youth Who knew so well the cash to gather, That be was often known in truth To overreach his knavish father. The miser felt unwell one day, And, as his malady grew stronger, He sent for Father Jem to say He'd do without his aid no - longer. Jem felt a holy joy within At hearing thus of Gripe's condition, Who, anxious to compound for sin, Offer'd a liberal composition. He he feared the wrath to come— (Kind reader how St. Jens enjov'd it!) And that he'd give a handsome sum If he could through the priest avoid it. His terms were stretch'd a sum or two— ( We wish a Yorkshire" Leg" had seen them !) At length, said Jem, " the thing will do;" And so the bargain closed between them. And thus the miser made his end, And slipp d away with small compunction, For he had Father James his friend, And also Father James's " Unction." But scarce a week had passed away, When holy Jem, as sweet as honey, . Went up, as was agreed, to pray— In other words to touch the money. He rattled off a prayer with zeal— Of each young Gripe threw down a handful, " My son,''' the priest repliel, " I feel "Your faith is strong, yourspirit manful." " But is my father's soul released ? " Or is he yet in Lintho frying ?" " He suffers still," replied the priest ! The glittering cash beside him eyeing. Sum after sum away was paid, Nor was the father's wind diminished, But with expanding lungs he prayed, Until the glittering heap was finished. Thus, he at length addressed the son, " Thou hest with liberal spirit given ; " Your father's sufferings all are done; " Ile's now a glorious saint in heaven!" "Then, worthy father, learn a trick ;" Thus, with a grin, replied the other; " I'll teach the Church to pray on tick, " A novel thing for good Old Mother." With fury in his face, the priest Began: "Oh, most irreverend scoffer ;" Said Gripe, "I'm not so softly fleec'd," And swept the cash back to his coffer. " You say in Heaven his soul is snug; " I've too much faith to think it fable; "Then . try your hand, my old humbug, And turn him out on't if your able. " And why should I, you precious limb, " Be such a dupe to priest or any, " As give to thee, for saving him, " The very thing that damns so many * The scapular. AN INTERCEPTED LETTER. TO MT FRIEND AND SERVANT DAN, IN RETREAT AT MOUNT MELLERAY. Well, Dan, my old humbug! of all thy past cheating, And many an instance can mem'ry recal, There's none can come up to this trick of retreating; By hypocrisy's self, Dan, it bothers them all. Joe Hume has some brass; nor would pause at a whopper (As be owned in the house) if it answered his end; Yet his brass would assuredly blush into copper If he tried such a "go" as your last one, my friend. You know, Dan, I hold you in high estimation ; When you wanted my aid I was ever at hand; But I fear, that, in even your priest-ridden nation, You are trying a trick that the people won't stand. What! hot from the orgies of hate and sedition; After rai►ing at all that is virtuous and true! Will your countrymen credit your fit of contrition; Or think that religion can own such as you? 'Tie scarce credible, Dan; but, perhaps, you know better How things should be done in the Emerald Isle? And I own, my dear friend! I'll be greatly your debtor If the bog-trotting papists are caught by this wile. How your friend, Father Tom, of sl`Gariahan fame— Himselfa shrewd, s►y, clever, humbugging chap— Must, envying, admit how superior your claim, In devising this scheme of retreat a-la-Trappe. The priests, too, though born to the manner, will wonder, When they find to a layman such hardihood given, And think, whilst Jove shows his existence by thunder,* That any but tbey could thus daily with Heaven. Go on, Dan ! and prosper—our ends are the same— The same be our means, my old brother in evil; In thee, of all vot'ries, I'll own the first claim To the highest regards of Your master, THE DEVIL 'Cmlo tonantem credidimus Jovem regnare. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE WHIG GOVERNMENT. ( From the Morning Herald.) As the policy of the whig government becomes, day by day, more crouching towards the more powerful foreign governments—and as the hostility of our ri vals is not disarmed by acts of self-abasement on the part of our rulers—it becomes of some importance to ascertain the means of defence possessed by England, in the event of the formation of a coalition for her de struction, by the powers which are most jealous of her long-established ascendancy. These powers are, es pecially, Russia and the United States. Were Eng land overthrown, Russia might hope to bring all Eu rope under the dominion of the Czars. Were Eng land overthrown, the United States might hope to en gross the larger portion of the trade of the world. Russia and tbe'United States possess, undoubtedly, immense resources;—yet, if the energies of England were properly evolved and directed, England would have little to fear, even from the coalition against her of these two formidable powers. For both these countries, let it be noted, contain within their consti tutions many elements of weakness. Russia, for instance, owes a large portion of her apparent strength to the stupid policy which England has, of late years, observed towards her. England has, in point of fact, been content, latterly, to play the game of Russia. England aided ft ss i a to destroy the independence of Turkey—the most important check which the great national arrangement or Europe supplied for limiting the extension of Russian power. England, in like manner, connived at the subjugation of Poland—a country scarcely less important (if again elevated to the character of an independent state) to the adjustment of honest international arrangements throughout Europe, than Turkey itself. But although England has, hitherto, failed to turn the recent chan ges in the East of Europe to fair advantage—still, by men of a different stamp from our whig rulers, the re sults of those changes might yet be turned to admira ble account. In a struggle with Russia—Turkey, Poland, and Circassia would offer to England (if Eng land were governed as she ought to be) means of at tack, which the Emperor Nicholas would, find it no easy matter to neutralise. It is customary, again, for a class of persons dis affected towards this country to advert to the gi owing power of the United States, and to their scarcely calculable resources. Such estimates, however, are apt to he fallacious. The lands of the United States are, undoubtedly, most fertile and most abundant— their rivers and lakes most admirably adapted for all the purposes of commerce —whilst the prospect of th eir mineral wealth is of the most flattering description. Yet if the United States were to engage in destrue e ngage Live hostilities against England, England, ruled b y statesmen of the right stamp — men of prudence, and courage, and promptitude in action—might break up the federal union in three months, and scatter to the winds those powers of aggression which now render the United States, in the eyes of ordinary observers, so formidable an antagonist. The federal union is but a discordant assemblage of *small states. These are irreconcilably divided from each other, on the ques tions of slavery, and of the direction of native indus try in the various localities of the union. The north ern states wish to manufacture for the southern. The southern states, again, desire to consume European manufactures. If the directors of the federal union were to declare war against England, a little manage ment might suffice to range the southern states on the side of Great Britain. If England should seize upon the island of Cuba—should erect it into a depOt for arms, and necessaries of all kinds—and then call into action the black population of the southern states, there would briefly be an end of the federal union, and of the semblance of overwhelming power which now belongs to it. If the destinies of England, in short, were intrusted to men of vigorous and enlarged understandings, we should have little to apprehend from the best organ ised system of aggression against this country, on which Russia and the United States might resolve. But the whigs fear and truckle to both these powers. They submit to insults and outrages without number; and each act of submission by them only leads to the perpetration of fresh indignities by the powers to which unworthy rencessions are made. We h^ - 'e peace; but we no less heartily our of England vindicated, and her It is something, too, to reflect, r existence, which England may nter upon, she possesses—if she ale means of breaking up the idable antagonists. A REFORMED MARRIAGE. ( From the Cambridge Chronicle of September 1.) The first marriage at Cambridge unattended with any religious ceremonial, took place at.the superin tendent registrar's office on Monday last. Several persons had assembled outside the office by the ap pointed hour, a quarter past eight, and considerable curiosity was manifested to learn what were the forms used at the unusual proceeding about to take place, and to see the couple who repudiated the sanctions of religion on entering into the divinely-appointed state of 'Nedlock. At twenty minutes past eight the bride and bride groom made their appearance, though we hardly know whether we are not guilty of some profanation in using those appellations with reference to such an oc casion as this. The superintendant registrar briefly reminded the parties that, although the law would cer tainly recognise the civil contract they were just going to enter into as a legal marriage, however devoid it was of outward ceremonial, they ought to regard the ceremony as performed in the presence of God, and not to consider it less binding on their consciences than if performed at the altar; and he begged them to reflect that, though he should make use of as few words as the law permitted, God was present in that place, a witness of all that passed. The registrar then read forms similar to the follow ing, the man and woman repeating them after him : '‘‘ 1, A B, do hereby declare thai' I know of no cause or impediment why I should not take thee, C D, to be my wife, to be joined together with me in holy matrimony." The woman then made a similar declaration. " I, A B, do hereby declare that I take thee, C D, to be ray wedded wife." The ;roman made a like declaration. " 1, A B, do give thee, C D, this ring, as a pledge of my affection and fidelity ! " 1, C D, do accept it as such." The man, and afterwards the woman, then severally called upon the persons there pre4ent to bear witness to the contract they had entered into. The Registrar.—" The ceremony is ended." The parties then signed the register, and left the office, the whole business, from first to last, occupying about five minutes. On our minds the writing of the foregoing account has left an unpleasant feeling, as the bare perusal of it will upon the minds of the vast majority of our readers. An uncomfortable feeling, almost amounting to disgust, comes involuntarily over us at the idea of two persons entering into the holy estate of matrimony without begging the blessing of their . Maker on the alliance they are contracting. We can hardly con ceive how a virtuous woman could bring herself to re gard the solemn engagement she was entering into with so little delicacy—we had well nigh said, with so little decency—and perhaps the word would not have been unaptly used. Who is not grieved to see two persons going out of their way to avoid the sanction of religious ceremonial, and putting themselves to in convenience, in order to do what ?—to make known to the world that, in their opinion, matrimony is best contracted with less solemnity than the very heathen, who worship stocks and stones, have almost in every age agreed to honour it ? And is it not disgusting to see how little it is,— what a very nothing almost,—the law requires in the way of pledged truth and faith ;—of love and protec tion on the'one hand, and of respect and obedience on the other ? It is the man alone that gives any pledge at all; the woman engages neither to be affectionate, nor faithful, nor obedient ! Can, then, this contract, entered into at the registrar's office, with such cere monial, and in which at least one of the parties en gages to perform not one single duty, have any future beneficial effect on the happiness of the parties them selves, or on the welfare of the community they are members of? We regard it as a circumstance telling well for our our good taste, and most fortunate for the future peace and happineis of domestic life among us, that the way in which the occurrence of last Monday was regarded by those who witnessed it (though there was nothing approaching to unmannerly interruption or insult) was not calculated to induce persons desirous of a little evanescent notoriety to follow the example then set them. THE NEW DEMONSTRATION, RADICALISM, POPERY, AND INFIDELITY. (From the Morning Herald.) " The New Demonstration," like that concocted in the reign of Henry IV., by that furious young radical, the valorous Hotspur, seems to have bad bad luck—as Master Travers said to old Northumberland : " Of a gentleman, almost forspeut with speed, Who stopp'd by me to breathe his bloodied horse, I did demand what news from Shrewsbury. He told me that rebellion had ill luck, And that young Harry Percy's spur was cold !" And so in like manner say the messengers from Kidder minster—" the New Demonstration is out of luck entirely, and deputations droop." In Birmingham itself—the very focus of radicalism, popery, and infidelity. with Messrs. Tom Attwood and morbid Muntz, and Priest O'Donnell, and their subordinates to • stir up and beat up, and agitate " the masses," the masses mustered miserably —even though the muster-place was stored with beer and tobacco and the day was Saint Monday, with fine weather to boot. But at Kiddermister "the Demon-stra tionet•s" as the Birminghamites call them had still worse luck, as the following account of their adventures in that busy town will make manifest • " On Monday last a public meeting of the inhabitants of Kidderminster, was held in the Lion Field, for the purpose of considering the propriety of adopting the national petition passed lately by the Birmingham political unionists. To ensure this object, and to make assurance doubly sure,' the Whig-radicals of the borough invited a deputation from Bir mingham to attend and move the resolutions, which was to he composed of Messrs- Muntz, Salt, and another whose name was never announced to the meeting. It was stated in the placards that the notorious Muntz would also form one of the deputation ; but for reasons best known to the faction he considered it prudent to absent himself. "The exertions which were made by the unionists of this town (even the Sunday being desecrated by a contemptible knot of individuals canvassing the town of Bewdley, Stour port, Stourbridge, &c., for supporters) naturally set the con servative operatives in motion, and a committee was formed and resolutions prepared in opposition to the absurd and ridi culous document yelept The National Petition.' " Four o'clock was the hour oppointed for commencing the business of the day, at which time the conservative party , took possession of the hustings. The Birmingham deputa tion shortly afterwards arrived, and scared by the strong mus ter of the opposition party, and trembling with undisguised dismay at the evident defeat which awaited them, their first manoeuvre was to question the right of the conservative party to be on the hustings. The body of gentlemen, how ever, refused to move one inch from the position they bad taken up. The multitude (about 4(XO persons) met all the advances which the unionists made to address them with groans and cries of ' We want no Birmingham agitators here.' Mr. J. Boycott, seeing the feeling of the meeting de cidedly in favour of the conservative party, immediately pro posed a resolution condemning the republican principles en tertained by the Birmingham unionists, and adopted a me morial to be presented to her Majesty to dismiss from her councils her present advisers, requesting a repeal of the in human clauses of the poor law amendment act, and an abridgment of the intolerable labour imposed upon the children in our cotton factories; such memorial to be pre sented to her Majesty by Mr. R. Godson, the conservative member for this borough. This resolution having been put to the meeting, it was carried by an overwhelming majority. "The unionists now became desperate, and, finding that their favourite petition was rejected and repudiated by the operatives of Kidderininster, immediately jumped from the hustings, and, calling upon about one hundred of their atten dant ruffians, they began to pull the scaffolding from under the feet of the conservative gentlemen. This was the signal, of course, for a general riot. The blackguards who medi tated the mischief were beaten back by the multitude, and Mr. Boycott and his friends were escorted to a window on the opposite side, where he and the proprietor of the Ten Towns' Messenger addressed the meeting, and again passed the resolutions and memorial alluded to unanimously. " Messrs. Douglas and Salt and their friends immediately got into their hired carriage and fled from the field, amid the groanings and execrations of the multitude. They afterwards made an attempt to address a few individuals from the win dow of the Black Horse Inn, but here again they were met by hootings and derision. The mayor of the town (and a radical too, mark that!) immediately interfered, and informed the unionists that unless they desisted from addressing the multitude he would order them into custody. This had the desired effect, and the unionists decamped from Kidder minster." But though they have been kicked out of Kidderminster, they intend it seems to try their luck in London; for we are told in a radical evening paper that " The Working Men's Association" have been making " active preparations" for getting up" a " great metropolit a n d emo nstration" in Palace-yard, and that Master Smedley, the new high bailiff of Westminster, has kindly and courteously promised to aid and abet and assist them-therein; and has moreover ap pointed the 17th proximo for the grand event to " come off." This is great news for the metropolis, and for all England. indeed; and as the affair is to be got up by the " Working Men's Association," it is fit that the world should know that the Working Men's Association consists of some dozen and a half of men who never work; but, having the gift of the gab, they go about from public-house to public-house stirring up those they find therein to lay down their pipes and quit their pots and go a demonstrating. This "association of working men" who never work is under the marshalling and manage ment of one Lovell or Lovatt, a second-floor lodger in Gray's Inn-lane, and who calls himself their " secretary;" and - he h DiNw it: Lrns s ss e ihre l isl i; of s Ln, ond er the marshalling and management, and in the pay also, it is said, of Mr. Joseph Hume and his owner, worshipful Ineur,llNl association"oElessqwo e,etaahnvederniwtboilteeh.sbsuttchhke e ut Andark occasionaldhaits whose s i h d tohs o ee l request Mr Smedley smirkingly consents to kick up a radical row ! 1 The beautiful sample of Whittin , tor , i's new whit e w h ea t l‘ c v i r i i es bz2l b r.

NOBLE INSTANCE OF INTEGRITY.—On Wednesday even ing last, the 22d instant, the friends and former creditors of Willsam Henry, Esq., entertained him at dinner at the Commercial Hotel, Belfast, on the occasion of presenting him with a superb piece of plate, commemorative of his having, of his own accord, discharged the balance of the en gagements of his house at the period of their having stopped payment in the year 1820. This large sum, amounting to upwards of £13,000, has been recently handed to the credi tors. or their survivors and representatives, by Mr. Henry— one of those instances of high-minded justice and honour which reflect distinction and credit upon the community amongst whom they occur. THE GREY MONUMENT.—The colossal statue of Earl Grey, by E. H. Bailey, ILA., intended to be placed on the pillar now nearly finished, at the top of Grey-street, arrived in Newcattle on Monday morning, per the Halcyon, London trader, and was removed by two waggons from the quay to the site of the monument. It is expected to be raised in a few days. The height of the pillar from the ground is 121 feet, and the statue, including the plinth, is 14 feet; when placed in its proper position the mean height will be 135 feet. —Durham Chronicle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER AUGUST MEETING. The experiment of a two-days' meeting, in the month of August, has been tried on the Blanchester race course this year; but we imagine the success has not been such as to in duce a repetition of the experiment. The attendance on both days was extremely small, though the sport was tolerably good. The following is a return of the running : THURSDAY.

Poor Whitby, the rider of Orcus, was taken up perfectly insensible, and it was at first feared that he was killed; but in a short time he came to himself, and was carried to the Turf Tavern, where he now lies in a doubtful state, as apprehensions are entertained that he has received an injury of the spine. The horse was terribly lacerated by coming in contact with the rails. In consequence of this accident, there was no race for the 50 sovereigns plate. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.

(t and aft off.) DONCASTER. The note of preparation for the forthcoming imposing scene has already sounded. That the attractions are by no means diminished, a slight reference to the list will satisfactorily prove. That the week will be one of great splendour, there are many gratifying indications. Without dwelling, at pre sent, upon the large number of the prizes which the list pre sents, including the sum subscribed by the Town-council, it is sufficient to say, that, the competition for the St. Leger wilt be very severe. The cup prize is au extremely elegant piece of workmanship. The celebrated Irish horse, Hark away, which we see by the iorkshireman, has been purchased by Lord George Bentinck for the sum of £5,000, will be op posed by the stoutest English horses; and a contest will en sue, which, in point of speed, will rival the trial when Lot tery carried off the Londonderry cup,--,a, trial, which, at the time, was deemed of such a character that its like would never be again witnessed. ,Nor are exertions spared to ensure not only the safety of the horses during running, but the se curity of the spectators. In older to prevent the possibility of a recurrence of an accident similar to what heel Epirus during the hist St. Leger race, a line of rails has been formed from the Fitzwilliam starting-post to the Middle of the rise of the hill. The turn, too, opposite the T. Y. C. post, has been also rendered secure in the same manner, as well as the turn near the Red House, opposite the Champagne starting-post, extending from thence to the cross-roads, in the direction of the white rails. The safety of the horses, at these points, is thus effectually secured. the inquiries for lodgings continue to be made: and those which are already engaged embrace the names of the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Earl of Chesterfield and a large party, Lord George Bentinck and party, Hon. Mrs. Norton, Hon. G. Payne, Colonel Peel, Colonel Anson, Sir F. Holyoake Goodricke, Bait., Christo pher Wilson, Esq., the father of the turf, who, we under stand, will be accompanied by Mrs.- Wilson, C. C. - Grevilie, Esq., G. L. Fox, Esq.,_ ALP., and a Rage party, 'l'. H. Cookes, Esq., Prince Hollenburg and suite, Count Tolstoy, Colonel Hawker and party, the officers from the York, Shef field, and Leeds barracks, &c., &c. In short, there is every reason to warrant the assertion, that the meeting will be one of the greatest splendour.—Leeds Intelligeneer. A HEALTHY VILLAGE.—There are at present residing in the village of Ochiltree six men, whose united ages amount to 534.

AN AMERICAN EDITOR'S OPINION OF LIVERPOOL.—Li verpool resembles New York more than any other city I have yet seen in Europe. More beautiful females walk the streets here than you you can see in London. * Bristol never can compete with Liverpool. They may get as many steamers as will bridge the milky way, or go to ihe moon, but. Bristol will never be any thing else than one of the ports of London. Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and all the surrounding towns form one city, nearly as closely united as the different ends of London are. I can go from Liver pool to Manchester nearly as soon as I can get from one end of London to the other. England is the heart of the com mercial world—London is one of its ventricles and Liverpool the other. Nothing can change this state of•things. • During my sojourn in Liverpool the editors have been very attentive to me—particularly the venerable Egerton Smith, of the Mercury, to whorria bad no letter at all. * &tilt is expected here to-rnorroilF.

Born in the most humble sta tion, for his parents were menial servants in the fine country mansion which afterwards was his own, he had risen to the highest rank in a laborious and useful profession, having be come one of the most eminent of the Lancashire solicitors— a class of practitioners distinguished among those of the king dom at large by great knowledge of their profession, and ad mirable skill in the conduct of their clients' affairs. Strug gling with all the disadvantages of narrow circumstances, and of an education necessarily restricted, he had not only accomplished himself in the legal walks of his profession, but educated himself in more classical studies, as as to have be come a great proficient in pursuits seldom if ever before com bined with the practice of an attorney. His taste was culti vated and refined by familiarity with Roman literature, and his mind was still farther enriched by a thorough acquaintance with the monuments of Italian genius. He devoted himself, notwithstanding the constant interruption of his business, to the study of all modern, as well as of Latin poetry • and, with the rare exception of Mr. Mathias, it may be affirmed, that no one on this side the Alps has ever been more intimately acquainted with the writers, especially the poets, of modern Italy. The natural elegance of his mind, connected in a great measure with his honest simplicity of character, and the unruffled gentleness of his bland and kindly temper, was soon displayed in some poetical productions, among which his celebrated song on the early progress of the French Revolu tion acquired the greatest reputation. Although it is by the productions of his pen, that Mrstloscoe's name has been made famous throughout Europe, yet were his merits and his claims to the gratitude of mankind of a more various kind. An ar dent devotion, from pure principle, to the best interests of hu manity,lic conduct, as the most strict discharge of every . each step of his walk in-life. A solicitor in extensive prac tice, was the unvarying and the constant guid d e o o t t: hism a rpkuti:d he was the advocate of all sound law reform. An attor ney in the borough courts, he was the stern uncompromising oppressed A man of business under a wealthy and powerful corporation, he was ever the implacable denouncer of jobs and abuSes. A. confidential adviser among the aristocracy of the most tory county in England, he was the most uncompromising enemy of tyranny, the friend of the people, the apostle of even de mocratic opinions. Ar leader among the parties who most gained by the war, he was, throughout its whole course, the zealous preacher of peace; and standing high amongst the traders of Liverpool, and at the head of its society, be was the unflinching enemy of the African slave trade, the enthusias tic advocate of its abolition. When lie rose in fame, and throve in wealth—when he became one of the great bankers of the place, and was courted by all the leading men in its so ciety—when his fame was spread over the world, and his na tive town became known in many remote places, as having given him birth—when hc.was chosen to represent her in par liament, and associated with the first statesmen of the age, this truly excellent person's unaffected modesty, his primitive simplicity of manners, never deserted bun. As his rise • in life ise:si been rapid and easy, he bore his good fortune .with an equal mind; and when the commercial distresses of the country involved his affairs in ruin, the clouds which over cast the evening of his days, disturbed not the serenity of his mind; the firmness which could maintain itself against the gales of prosperity, .found the storms of adverse fortune, though more boisterous, mesh louder in their noise,. yet not at alt deceitful, and really less rude in their shock. .His lat ter years were passed in his much loved literary leisure—con solid by the kindness of his, friends—happy in the bosom of his amiable fatuity—universally, respected by his countrymen —by all the wise admired—beloved by all the good.—Lord Brough a m, "Save us from our friends." MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON THE STRUCTURE ✓!ND HISTORY OF THE ARTICULJTED MOLLUSCOUSCLASSESOF ANIMALS. On Saturday evening se'nuigitt Dr. Grant delivered the eighth and concluding lecture of kris course. We now come to a consideration of a tribe of the menus cuous animals called cephalopods, from the circumstance of their feet being arranged about their heads, on which they may be said to walk. Those of them, as well as the ptero pods, which swim on the surface of the ocean, have either naked bodies or light pellucid shelly coverings, so as to enable them to move about with freedom, and at the same time protect them from the evils. to which they are exposed. Indeed, in some instances, this shell is merely disposed around the more delicate of their internal organs. Unlike the gastropods, which, with all their convolutions, are only singlechambered, the shells of cephalopods have a number of chambers, whence the name concatnerate or multilocular; but neither the cephalopods, pteropods, nor the pulmonated gastropods, have any operculum. The cephalopods are highly organised, and form a connecting link between the articulated and .vertebrated animals. The internal "bone" of the cattle fish is, however, not true bone, being composed of carbonate, without any phosphate, of lime, and is hardly at all analaguus to a vertebral bony column. The nautilus is a good example of multilocular shells. The chambers all communicate by means of orifices. When these orifices are small the shells are calledforantiniferous, but when large and funnel-shaped, ripleonflerous. A number of the former kind are now to be met with, and both abound in a fossil state, some of them so flattened as to be called nummulites, from the resemblance they bear to small coins. The latter form whole rocks, indeed the pyramids rest upon nummulitie lime stone, which was once mistaken for granite or syenite. The little "lentils" were also at one time supposed to be the real vegetable lentils—the food of the workmen—petrified ! There are 500 species of fossil ammonites known to zoologists, of which 250 are British. The Whitby seas contains the greatest number. So far as iv at present know the amino nite is an extinct animal. Cyclostomous fishes have a central softish mass, which afterwards is divided into the intervertebral substance of higher classes. The finlike pro cesses of loligo, &c. must be considered as arms, and not legs, in the same manner as we find in the flying fish, gurnards, &c., some of the cephalopods, and even turtle, an excess of the anterior extremity. the octupods swim back wards, striking with All their tentacula at once. Others are fixed, and others again have no tentacula. The argonauta, which is an octopod, is said to quit its shell, like the hermit crab, as if it were not its own, but some say that it mends the shell when fractured. Two of its legs are membraneous, and it raises them up to serve as sails. The broad loligo, besides its ordinary prehensile extremities, has two long slender tentacula, furnished with suckers, by which it anchors itself and wheels round in a circle with this cable as a radius. The cephalopods mostly live at the bottom of the sea, are crafty and carniverous, and the great enemies of the crustaceous animals, which, as the contents of their stomach show, they rapidly dismember. The loligo has been known to leap on the decks of a ship. Its beak is horny like a parrots, inverted, and entirely composed of carbonate of lime. It is notched, showing the rudiments of teeth. The learned lecturer then entered into a full anatomical detail of the structure of the various creatures belonging to the order of cephalopods, which would require a much greater knowledge of the subject than possessed by the re porter to do justice to. In conclusion, Dr. Grant pointed out the great advantage which the study of the creatures brought under review during his lectures would be to his audience, especially the younger part, for they would not fail to perceive the most exquisite order in the arrangements of the Creator through all his works, from the simplest to the most complicated, and would learn to appreciate in the most humble animal in the scale of creation, those beautiful organs and instincts whereby it is enabled not only to con tinue its own existence but that of its tribe. In taking our leave of Dr. Grant we must again repeat our regret that our anatomical and zoological knowledge has not enabled us to present to our readers moie perfect reports of his lectures. If the audiences have not been so large as those which have attended his predecessors, it has not been owing td the apathy with which his lectures have been re garded, but to the difficulty which was felt, and we can say from experience, painfully so at times, to catch the words of the lecturer, for unfortunately the physical powers of Dr. Grant are by no means commensurate with his mental. The medical gentlemen of our town, however, continued to attend him to the last, and we have never heard higher encomiums upon the merits of a lecturer than we have heard from the members of this honoured profession with respect to Dr. Grant. A few days since a cow which was grazing on the west common, Lincoln, was attacked by a large bull-dog of the Spanish breed. The cow caught her infuriated opponent on - her horns and tossed him into the air twice. Eventually the dog fastened on her neck, and the poor animal having no further chance of defending herself, was bit and lacerated in a dreadful manner. We are given to understand that she is lingering in a very hopeless state.—Hull Times., ANTIQUE RING.—We have been favoured with the inspec tion of a very ancient and massive gold ring, which is in the possession of Mr. Robert Thompson, jeweller, in the Groves, in the suburbs of this city, and which was found a few days ago near the ruins of Coningsborough Castle, in the vicinity of Doncaster. Its weight is six dwts. and its diameter three quarters of an inch. The workmanship, which is quite per fect, is an elegant chasing of foliage, variegated green and. e gold. The venerable r ema i ns a b ov 'mentioned lay claiin to high antiquity, and near them is a tumulus. said to have been raised over the body of Hengist, the Saxon general, who was slain in a battle near this place' by Aurelius Ambrosius, a British Prince, about the year 488. Of course it is impossible to say, whether the ring in question is a relic of these early times, or it is of more recent deposit; but that centuries him:ye passed since it formed an ornament to some one of distinc tion may be safely premised, from the nature of the workman ship and its antique form.—York Courant. AN ALLIGATOR TEAM.—The captain of a steam-boat engaged in the Red River trade, has informed us, although we are inclined to think he was joking, that a wealthy indi vidual up that way has tamed and trained a couple of alliga tors so that they will swim in harness, and haw and gee about as regular as oxen. So well, indeed, have they been broken that their owner frequently tackles them up, hitches them to a "dug out," and cruises about the bayous and • ponds when the waters are too high to admit of his going on horseback. On a late occasion, whkas sailing along quietly under the banks of a bayou with his. "critters" harnessed abreast, he was seen by a hunter, who sung out, "I say, there! hallo ! drap your dug out astern and giveme a chance to plug one of the varmints?' "Don't shoot this way—take care—don't you see I'm after them?" said the owner, as the backwoodsman levelled his - rifle. "I see you're cuter 'ern, and you'll see a bell •follerit)' - oir in the same-trail - in-tess th-an two minits. Look out for yourself stranger; here goes for a crack at the varmint this way.-' "Stop! hold upymir rifle. That's my team that .you are aiming at.. Look at the harness, there, just on the top of the water.. . They are hitched to the canoe, and I am on a little jaunt out back to look at and enter some lands." "Well, I declar; !" - said the old hunter, "if that don't beat. all the doins I've h eer 'd on wa y i n t h e thick settlements. I reckon you understand animal-mag, netism, as they call it, a few.". understand training Oils gators." " Well, you can Pass—hope you'll have a pleasant excarsion?' The man now stirred up his teani, and was soon under way at a rate which would-leave a common high pres sure steam-boat out of sight in no time.—New Orleans Picayune. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday evening last, a gentleman named Godard arrived at the Bedford Hotel, attended by a man servant, and about midnight the latter retired to rest. About three o'clock in the morning, as the policeman on the beat was going his round, he heard a con tinuance of loud groaning, as if issuing front some one in the greatest suffering. Having searched round the whole of the building without being able to discover the person from whom they proceeded, though his groans were still as audible as ever, he alarmed the • inmates of the hotel by ringing the night bell, which being answered by Mr. Lewis. and others, they proceeded in search of the unfortunate man spoken of, when they discovered him lying on the lower balcony in a most dreadful state, his hip sock6t being completely shat tered, and his head - cut in a most shocking manner. Mr. Furner, the surgeon, was called in immediately, and every assistance afforded to the sufferer, who was on Saturday conveyed to the County Hospital, where he lies without hope of recovery. The account the poor fellow gives of the acci dent is this:—Having gone up to his bed-room, which was at the very - top of the Bedford Hotel, he thought he would take a little fresh air, by walking round the inside of the , parapet; _accordiugly he got out- at the •bed-room window, when it closed, and thinking he could not open it again, and not liking to disturb the inmates, he thought he would en deavour to get down on the outside, as he saw a broad cor nice, as he considered, only a few feet below him; upon this he dropped from the western parapet, and descended 15 feet, alighting , on a shelving cornice only 18 inches wide, where he made good a footing, a circumstance which surprises every one who has inspected the spot, and thence walked round to the front of the building, a distance of at least 70 feet. He ' then thought he could drop to the projection he saw below— the haleiany. Having lowered hitnself from the cornice with his harms, and not being able to touch the wall, he endea voured to regain his footing on the cornice, when he fell a distance of at least 60 feet on the balcony below, where he was found as above described.—Brighten Patriot. MUTINY AND MURDER AT Sea.—The brig Hebden, of Scarborough, Captain W. B. Fowler, which arrived at Green ock on Saturday evening, brought two ladies and a gentle man,-passengers, and two of the crew of the American brig Bragauza, who were picked up at sea, and taken on board the Hehden, along with their boat, on Sunday the 12th ult., about 350 miles off the coast of Portugal, after having been at sea in a small open boat for twenty-five hours. The per sons thus providentially saved are, George N. Diehl, Esq. of Philadelphia, owner of the Braganza, and his lady; the lady of Captain A. F. Turley, late master of the brig; Mr. Moir, the'second mate ; and the cook of the Braganza. The Braganza, of Philadelphia, which sailed from St. John's, Porto Rico, with a cargo of sugar consigned to Messrs. Grant Balfour & Co. of Genoa, put into Philadelphia in distress, and having got repaired, sailed from that city on the Bth of . July last, with the following crew on board : Capt. A.. F. Turley ; Mr. Vanderslice, first mate; Mr. Moir, second mate, and six men before the mast, including the cook. She had also as passengers, Mr. and Mrs. Diehl, and Mrs. 'Pur ley above-mentioned. The brig proceeded on her voyage without any remarkable circumstance until the sth of August, when in let. between 37. and 38. N., and long. between 13. and 14. W., at two o'clock, A.M., an alarm was given by the first mate, (whose watch it was on deck,) of a mutiny by the crew. The captain and second mate immediately rushed on deck to his assistance ; the captain had a cutlass, the second mate had nothing whatever to defend himself with. They found the first mate lying at the cabin companion -way wel tering in his blood; he afterwards succeeded in gaining the cabin. On the captain and second mate's reaching the deck they were immediately attacked by all the crew. who, being five in number, soon overpowered them ; they threw the se cond mate oiler the side, but he fortunately caught a rope and regained the deck again, and retreated to the cabin com pletely disabled. In the meantime the crew succeeded in overpowering the captain and threw him overboard. During this period, which was but of short duration, the two ladies and .Mr. Diehl were in the most anxious suspense, anticipat ing that it was their intention to murder them all, having no means whatever of defence. But immediately on throwing nailing and pla c in g c anvas and h eavy cha i ns the captain overboard, th ey c l ose d th e ca bi n companion -way and sky-light by on them. The persons thus confined in the cabin were Mts. Turley, the first and secoud mates, and Mr. Diehl and wife; the first mate had his face dreadfully cut and his skull frac turedgn h to'clockcrew, t h h y e n a ha by two strokes on th e h ea d an d two on t h e s h oulder, all a pparently done with a h a t c h et; t h e secon d mate was coin sright in hta t r h m e blowsmbyernie, the g inflicted i n complete possession of the vesse l , ma d e pr e p arat i ons to c l o se the cabin dead lights by slin g i ng a pl an k over th e stern, tle n t d el e y pike. disabled Atei i the at which the people in the cabin remonstrated, stating that they should smoother; they replied that unless they gave up whatever was wanted they would certaitnly do it. They then demanded the chronometer, sextant, and charts, together with all the gold and jewellery, which was passed up to them through the cabin windows by means of a bucket. They also required that they should throw overboard all the fire arms. For several days nothing further occurred except oc casional suggestions by the crew that the prisoners should.; leave in the jolly:.boat ; but stated neither time nor phee.• On Saturday afternoon, the 11th of August, however, they obliged Mr. and Mrs. Diehl, Mr. Moir, the second mate, Mrs. Turley, and the cook, to take to the long-boat and trust to Providence. In the afternoon of the following day they were picked up by the Hcbden, as above stated. How the wretches should have given the survivors even a chance for their lives seems quite nnaccountable, knowing as they well did, that should they be preserved, no exertions would be spared to bring them to the condign punishment they have so richly merited. They said that they intended to run for the English Channel, which, should they have done, there is every probability that they will be brought to justice. <*bipptng Entdligenct. FRIDAY, AUGUST 31.
