i.ITEMARY 'NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. Jan aa ry, 1838. This number., though in the number of its articles it falls far below the a% erage, is one of the best we have 'ever met. with. The first paper is Worth the price of rite magazine. It is a deeply interesting domestic_tale, under the title of " The Household Wreck.", We suspect that the width, is Mr. Warren, the writer of the celebrated " Passages from the Diary of a late Physician." The paper on " Modern French Classics" contains an minirable critique on the writings of I3ossuet, and an ex tract from his funeral oration on Henrietta, Queen of England, and wife of Chivies the First. This is fol lowed by an excellent review of Colonel Mitchell's "Life of Wallenstein.". " The. Woolf we Ike in" contains its usual variety of pleasant criticisms, amusing, anecdotes, . . and spirited remarks on passing events. Tile topics glanced at this Month are, the 'Lord r Mayor's-day—b_ad neighlimirs7-the death of Hummel—medical novelties— Dmiel O'Connell—tiger hunting in ludia. - =extent of forgeries—the state of civilization in the Sandwich Islands, &c. Impr?ssions of a Tour" are spiritedly conceived, and affild some very useful hints to travel lers. " Russia" is a notice of a publication under that title 1w a well-known " Manchester Manufacturer," and another work on the same subject. " What have Mil: nisters done " is a splendid political article, in which the past conduct of the whig ministry is examined with becoming severity. This paper is well worth a careful perusal. • ments are in every respect such as the improved taste of the age would demand; we have no hesitation in pro nouncing it to be a work in every way deserving of ua tiOnal support. In , a word, the present edition of the . Encyclopiedia Britannica is " the most valuable - digeNt of human knowlege which has ever yet appeared lain in the convenient furor of a dictionary.

It was said, that in the process of calcination, the metal lest some property, but Lavoilier, (and his. experiment was in ,st interesting, as being a chance of the ,natter of making experiments) took a certain quantity of quicksilver, and !tut it nun a glass vessel which he hernmeicaily sealed.

Halving calcined as much as he could, he weighed tile apparatus eteein, and found that it had not (hanged its weight. kleitien opened the glass vessel under water, and found that the water rose to a certain height in it. Upon PXdiliiiiiimg the air which the vessel contained, he found that it would no longer beeper the combustion of the cendle. lie then heated the calx and • funnel that it gave out air, which, when added to the air previously ' obtained restored it to its origual suite and it again supeorted conomst mu. By this meet's he discovered that the atmospheric aiewas composed of two- substistices, the one a supporter and the other a nett-supporter of combustion, and that the cal- 1 einatieu of the metal arose from its combination with that portion of the atinesphere which supports ceinbust ion. Dr. Katie then described and practically illustrated the %Nations !nodes of procuring oxygen, either by heating red oxide if mercury or of lead, or chlorate of potash, in a glass retort ;—or the black oxide of Inangenese, iu en ii on retort, and collecting the gas by means of the pneumatic trough, as it is ex pelled limn the metals. Lead has a very powerful affinity for uix‘geti, but the first portion which it takes. is retained inure strtngly titan the rest. Thus if heat is applied to red lead, we. obtain but ere-third of the quantity of oxygeu it centains; but. heat alone, however powet lel, is incepebie of destroying the affinit y between the lead. mid the reinatuing oxygen. the black oxide of man„..-eeeee, being a very cheap materiel, is geese ara liy utile 0 00 *i .. .14141..e0 1,1,) , 4114111 City •O' ....,...uo m r, s i.i ...s -quired. .I.ls a dding sulphuric acid to the black uixtule of mange uese, in a glass retest, and applying hem, a (limbic quantity of tocygen is procured.

Oxygen is requisite fm respiration; and as a given quantity is censulned Imseaniinels in a certain time, u n l ess a f res h supp ly of a t inns . pine ic air is allowedtbe animals will die. Animals thus destroy oxygen, and replace it with carbonic acid gas, the same sub stance as that which is formed duriug the combustion of car bonaceous bodies. When we consider -the humber of animals which are constantly respiring - atmospheric air, the question not unnaturally suggests itself, " Must there not, after a number of centuries shad pass, remain nothing but carbonic acid stud nitrogen, the other competent of ettnespheric air ?'' The solu tion matins question has led to the discovery of one of the most beautiful laws with which philosophers are acquainted. We arrange substances in twit classes, those which do and those. which do not possess life, and also the.' which do possess lite into the aII nnal and vegetable kingdoms. Animals absorb oxygen and give out carbonic acid. Vegetables absorb carbonic acid and give out oxygen. In this way we have toe constitution of lie atmosphere kept so constantly invariable that the most minute chemical analysis has net been able to detect the slightest differeece in its composition from the fist period when chemical analysis became exact dawn to the et esent day. Hydrogen oistained its name from its having been otiginally discovered, to be au element of water, and it is always at present obtained by chetnists front the decomposition of water. We can procure oxygen from a great variety of substances, but we can only procure hydrog e u by the decomposition of water. Water is found to consist of oxygen and hydrogen, which are united icy' a very powerful affinity. If we take nine ounces of water we shall find that they contain eight ounces of oxygen and only one ounce of hyarogen. To obtain hydrogen from water it is only necessary to take some substance which has a powerful affinity for oxygen, as zinc or iron. If a piece of zinc be put into a Florence flask, and water 'muted upon it, the zinc will react upon the water and dectimpese it, the hydrogen escaping and the oxygen uniting with the zinc to lot in an oxide of zinc. Oxide of zinc is insoluble in water, therefore we can not practically obtain hsdrogen from zinc and water. The fact is that the sue face of the zinc becomes surrounded by the ' oxide, and the tleeomposit ion of the water is prevented from going on further. If. however. we take some substame whieh is soluble that will-dissolve tliis oxide as soon as formed, we shall expose a fresh surface of zinc .to the action of the water, and thus pro duce hydrogen, Potassium has an imnienee affinity foroxygen. When placed upon the surface of water it cotradnes witteits oxs gen with sum much energy as to evolve beat sufficient to in fluence the hydrogen which is set free. In order to obtain large quantities of hydrogen, we take a quantity of zinc and pour upon it diluted sulphuric acid, e bleb diema yes the oxide of zinc, by which is fresh surface of inetalis constantly presented to the water, and a rapid decomposition goes on.. Hydrogen, like oxygen, is perfectly colourless and transparent. It is. characlerisee by tyro very remarkable propel ties. Unlike oxygen, whieh is trillinely heavier than atmospheric air, hydro-. gen is hiteen b ulls lighter. being the lightest of all known sub stances. Ilydseeen is inflammable, and, when pure, burns with at faint blue flame. It does net stipeert combustion. 'Die levity of hydrogen may be illustrated mu a very remarkable winner by inffaiine with it a ilaiiiiiOl inade of goldlieeletteckin or tissue paper.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. TAXING OF TENEMENTS. To THE E'DriOH OF THE TIMES. Sir,—A bill lsLiOat;;ht int, the Cournaeins to rate the owners of teneineuts instead it the occupiers: his job has of late, nun front time to time, in all manlier of been strougiy re commenned and pushed ferwaid by the anyocates of the urn poor law bill, and by the tine., new-made monarchs, then hoed assiitauts, and their little winking tools, called guardian , The coimoon clap-trap professions ate put mina to make it appear - palatable. The benefit of the poor is the professed ob ject. .We are told that from the, inability of a great poi lion of the working classes to pay rates, the tax-gatherers ought to, longer to have a claim ou the occupiers of small houses, but " the owners; and that the power to rate the latter, instead of the former, would ruttier a great boon on the Yes,:no , doubt it would, if in reality they were to be exempt ft ow pa)- ; tint this is not intended, and het ein is the••deception. It is web known that a tax on any article is always paid by the consumer or user; consequently, if parochial rates are made a house-tax on the landlord, it must have a teu'leucy to increase the aumuut of rent, and, mauy cases,, the landlord will at • once chip on the additional charge,• and thus the tenant, in re ality, will still be the payer. Yet some have the roily or im pudence to call this a boon to the poor. John Bull is not quite so stupid tie gulp this down, at all events. The true stair lit the mutter is this: that it is now, and has long been considered. such a barefaced act of injustice to make the poor pay poi , rates, road-vales, lighting-iates, police rates, and all 'Altai chat ges„ that the parish authorities, and even the poor law cow missioners and their adherents, are almost ashamed of the .im- - position,.or, at all events,,theythluk it not good policy tie en rnrc.e those demands on poor lamthes, who can scarcely obtain a sufficiency of bread.. Yet, on the other hand, they death perceive that to exonerate this most numerous class from these burdeus, would entail tore on themselves and others; couse , (Petals a.scheme is devised to wake the . poor Tay indirectly, and thereby relieve the taxing authorities and the government from the odium and disgrace of enforcing - these, in many in stances, palpably unfair imposts. Well, them, they have at last hit upon this dexterous tricking plan of fixing these imposts on the owners. :But will it uot enhance the price of rent? Then, where is the benefit to the poor? Nay, instead of a benefit, they must .be worse off; for theiripoverty in many rases is a reasonable excuse for exemption Ruin rates; but it will not be so for rent,-so long as there is a ,chair or bed left; nor can it reasonably- be expectee, for the- laudlord. would not only be Lashio- his rent, but in addition to which, under the new.law, he would he e o rop e lied to pay the tenant's rates. This system is already in practice in many of the metropolitan parishes, where they have local acts. At the time these acts were obtained, it was considered, that there being so much risk in obtaining rates from..this class of houses, that the parish authorities should be altowed to assess the landlords in aless amount than tenants, provided they would farm or cmnpound to pay a certain sum for the whole,_ full or empty. By thus making them responsible, and' compeliing them to pay, let or unlet, they ate forced to keep up high rents, or else the taxes would make their property worth little or no : thing. I have seen rows of houses, where a great portiou them were occupied, and taxes charged ou the whole, that they became worthless, and they were compelled to pull them down, because the rents were not suffieient to pay theautes; rouse quently this sstein of rating, if it become general, has &direct tendency to injure this kind of property, and, iu some instances* td make it worthless. .And is it not equally injurious to the tenant? As one proof,. I have small houses which I let for £l3 a-year, and have always sonte.empty, and some tenants leaving, from whom 1 never get the money. • Now, if there were no farming the rates, I would let them for £8 instead of £l3, and it would be more to my in- Iciest to do so. In the first place, at the low price it is more likely that they would be all inhabited ;- and iu the next, poor persi;ns could pay the smaller amount much better than the larger; consequently the. rent would be more certain. Look at the enormous increase on the tenaut occasioned by this eve • tem ; instead of having to pay only about £3 be hae to pay £5„ but not under the head of rates, unnd, where, in case of need, 'he would have a reasonable Idea for exemption, but rimier I ti head of rent, where there is no plea. Well, theil, is not this au injury to the ,poot ? T:ok about a boon—why, is it not a g s lariug act of injustice? Whit justice. I should like to know, can there be in placing taxes out a poor man i tan indirect way.; front .which tie cannut possibly be relieved front any load until they have deptived him of every thing he possesses?. We tint that whele the landlords pay the rates they have nearly doubled the rent. Anil if the tenant cannot pay this exorbitant charge. his goods are sold, and alt his jute necessaries for housekeep ing, are taken front him: he has nowhere to sleep, nor anything to use. His house is broken up, and his family become inmates of a wolkhouse, and perhips fur ever after a burden on the pa, list]. Whereas, were every Occupant liable to pay his own rates, his rent would be much less, and where there was an in ability.to day, he would have an appeal, and 'Mehl be excused, and such relief, little as it may appear, would, in many CUSPS, prevent families becoming paupers. Such relief would be cheer fully given and easily borne by the public.

Well, and O s th en not as much difficulty in olit i aining 1 , 14 ? The t tx-gath ere :' i possesses all the power that the landlord dies 80 5 id,, ,, h • I has this advantage—the deinamt is Tess, and c oisequenti v ;nor ' :" likely to be obtained. And if he find great ditlitothc,,, au . il losses in his collection,, just the same will it be with the land lord. Yet, .ou this most .preraritius property, where neither rates nor rents can be obtained without frequently witnessing revolting and oppressive measures. is it not a monstrou s act ,i injustice to throw the whole burden on the owners of moil! .property, thereby depreciating that, and at the saute time in. crea, , ,,, u th e poor aldn's rent? Instead of being a relief, it is clearly an act of iipp ress i on fur I will defy any one to prove that it Gan possibly hat., an i tendency at all to reduce rent';, but , on the centra rt . d , to t s ) ,l th on. If this contemplated bill should. pass into a law it ~ ,41 he (wind that where rates are high and rents low and nig ult to be obtained, landlords will find. it more to their interest to p u ll : down some of their tenements, and in some parts a less numb er will be built, consequently rents trill be kept up to the hi g h est pitch. . The price is regulated by the same principle as ih,„ t „ f every other commodity. If they are scarce, rents.are higher. The greater the number the cheaper the rent, and the better for the poor; but this new bill will have a direct tendeer), to prevent this. Vet these quack laterals, these pretended ati_ vocates of the working classes, call it a boon to the poor, when, iii reality, it. is an oppression; it is all act to burden littl e proi•ert v s and to make t he owners of it lax-gatherers on the poor. It ought to he entitled " An act to raise the rents of the poor, anti to set the little landlords to harass and distress them, and to make small prepertywor hies , " Such a s3stem of legislatien ought to be strenu o usly opposed lit every parish ; and those local and partial arts in the metro politan parishes that adopt this principle iu part ought to be re pealed and put upon the saute footing as other parishes iu the country. In 1831, an aet was passed to rate the•owners instead of' the occupiers of small houses in Liverpool; and in 184 another act was passed to repeal this; under the following reasons re viled :--`! That various rates and assessments hid been made by viitue of the said act, and that the same had occasioned The publi c - s pi r it e d touch discont en t, a nd had tendt-d indirectly to the impoverish ment and opp ress i on o f the oct upiers." such parti a l an d unjust legislation • and it is t o be h op ed th a t people of Liverpool wou ld not submit to the metropehtan parishes will follow th e example, and no lonver qui e tly suffer such imposition, but at once oppose the practice, and by d o i ng so th e y may then expect r e dr ess, and not before.

Atm AT THE ATTAINMENT OF CLEAR AND !ACCURATE EIABITS OF TfrouGnT.—Thinking is the exerciie width strength ens the mind, and without which .tio prooress can be made in mental cultivation. A man may read, and hear, and talk—he may devour volumes, and listen to lectures every night —and vet, if he does not think, he will make after all but little, if any, improvement. His head will be full of something ; but it lvili be a crowd of lumber, like the articles in a broker's shop. tie must think; he mast turn over subjects in his mind:l he must look' at them on every side: lie must trace the connexion between ideas, and haVe every thing orderly arranged. A non may even think a great dial, and nut think cleat ly : his mind may be at work, and yrt alOsays in confusion : there may be no' clear arrangement; and it is quite possible to mistake muddi ness for depth. There are some men who appear very thought ful; but from never aiming at accurate habits of thought, tney. talk most unintelligibly. There seens to be neither beginning, nor middle, nor end, in what they say ; all is a confused jun:- ble. Now, writing carefully is a wood plan f'r acquiring habits of clear and connected thought, since a man is more likely to detect the disorder of his thoughts in writing than in talking . .— . Rev. J. Suughion's Address. HEMS EKS ON THE POETIC GENIUS oF Ns.—The poetic genii 's of B ur ns, nourished on scanty learning, and inspired by nature herself, will furnish a text for the philosopher, who spe culates on the influence of hook-acquired learning on g:fteil mind, of the first order. NI limn, on the one hand. stands Ho example o f the poetic benefits of much learning ; whilst Shaks . Ptate and Burns confiont and refute the as , ,tioti, th a t . s it . little learning is a dangerous thinat." That into la learning is covetable by a pilot, has long ceased to he my opinion. In the hare toil of :requiting it, his mind exudes much of its natural strength and sensitaility ; but that souse learning is useful, has. been illustrated by Shaksneare, whose mind—an alembic of sweets—distilled more of the essential odours of classic mytho logy, and noire of the beautiful in classical history, than the minds of a thousand pedants count have collected Burns. plreni IV still less learned than Shakspeare never looked bas ~ to uneeStral inspiration; hut was him , elf an ancester in poetry. I cannot give up my classical partialities, but I confess the ttulh of Burns's words, when he derides those "who think to climb Parnassus hill by dint of Greek;" and his strokes of nature bring down my conception of the quantum of learning, that is needful fur a genuine poet. to the lowest point. I could point oat in Burns's stings, thoughts exactly similar to those of beau tiful Greek epigrams. of which Burr i s could have never heard. Ilere Burns wrote Greek poetry without ha%ing learnt the very characters. When nature takes genius by the hand, she always cum lusts her pupil to the tend e r sod beautiful, and by a shorter toad than the learned languages. If 1 had found Burns at a Greek grammar, I Should have pulled him away from it. Selden one of the greatest of scholars, could afford to say that no man is ever wiser far his learning. This is untrue in a strict sense, but it is true in a more general view, for we know that the na tural weakness of the mind is only tnade more rickety by a load of learning. The best of Burns's penis, in toy opinion, is his "Tam o'Shanter." It was sail of the most perfect Greek scutptutes, that they seemed to be rather melted than ch.selled mar ble. In like manner, this poem always appears t o Inc as if the poet had n o t written lint improvised is; as it he had tuever blotted aline nr clipped off a fragment of its language; but had cast it off tin,remeditated trona the glowing mould of his imagi nation.—The Scenic Annual.
