`ures in Central America. Edited Hardman, Esq. Edinburgh : kwood and Sons Mr. Sealsfield, a German writer, ha recorded numerous adventures and stirring scenes in several volumes which he has published in his own lan guage. The present book is a selection of adapted extracts, in a form which is thought likely to be most attractive to the English reader. Many of them we notice as old acquaintances ; they have been translated in magazines, and published in newspapers. Others are new ; and all possess a very unusual amount of interest. The following is a description of )RM IN SOUTHERN MEXICO g round us, we were involuntar struck —.age in the appearance of the heavens. den blue colour of the sky was gone, and by a dull gloomy grey. The quality of ,ad also changed ; it was neither very warm nor y cold, but it bad lost its lightness and elasticity, and , ressed and weighed us down. Presently we saw the k cloud rise gradually from behind the hills, com ely clearing their summits, and then sweep along 'er the valley, in form and appearance like '-ht-moth, resting the tips of its enor- sua 5 , 'ac, I hung e mount s on either side To our glowin hand and bebind us the mountains were still of a , lighted up by the sun ; but to the 'I was black and dark. With the golden red i,ett and in our front al the deepest gloom and the bright est day meeting each other but not mingling. It was a strange and ominous sight. Ominous enough, and the brute creation felt it as well as ourselves. The chattering parrots, the bopping, gibbering. quarrelsome apes, all the birds and beasts, scream and cry, and flutter and • g about as though seeking a refuge from some im g danger. Even our horses tremble and groan— to go on, start and snort. The whole animal world ommotion—seized with an overwhelming panic. . "•• the dark cloud gaped and shot forth tongues of ts•ly white flame that contrasted strangely and horribly with the dense black cloud whence it issued. There was a peal of thunder that shook the earth, then a pause, during which nothing was heard but the panting of our horses as they dashed across the baranca, and strained at the steep side of a knoll or hillock. The cloud again opened; for a second everything was Ughted up. Another thunder-clap, and then, as though the gates of its prison had suddenly burst, the tempest came forth in its might and fury, breaking, crushing, and sweeping away all that opposed it. The trees of the - ' ggered and tottered fora moment, as if making to bear up against the storm ; but it was in vain, t instant, with a report like that of ten thousand cannon, whole acres of mighty trees were snapped off, their branches shivered, their roots torn up ; it was no longer a forest but a chaos, an ocean of boughs and tree trunks, that were tossed about like the waves of the sea, or thrown into the air like straws. The atmosphere was darkened with dust and leaves and branches. A second blast, more furious than the first,—can the mountains resist it?—will they stand ? By the Almighty ! they do not. The earth trembles • the hillock o n th e l ee s id e o f which we are, rocks and ;hakes. The hair is thick and suffocating—full of dust and saltpetre and sulphur. We are like to choke, all around us dark as night. We see nothing, hear nothing but the howling of the hurricane, and the thunder and rattle of falling trees and shivered branches. Suddenly the hurricane ceases, and all is hushed, but so suddenly that the change is startling and unnatural. No sound is audible saving the creaking and moaning of the trees with which the ground is encum bered. It is like a sudden pause in a battle, when the roar of cannon and c l ang o f c h arg i ng squadrons cease, and naught is heard but the groaning of the wounded, the agonised sobs of the dying. The report of a pistol is ---- I; then another, a third, hundreds, thousands of It is the flood ; the shots are drops of rain ; but e-a gL —the next such drops! each as big as a hen's egg. They strike with the force of enormous hail-stones—stunning and blinding vs. The next moment there is no distinction of drops; the windows of heaven are opened ; it is no longer rain, a flood, but a sea, a cataract, a Niagara. The hillock on which I stand, undermined by the waters, gives way and crumbles under me ; in ten seconds time I find myself in the baranca, which is converted into a river, off my horse, which is gone I know not whither. ross the Rocky Mountains, from New York to California. By William Kelly, Esq. London : Simms and M'lntyre. Mr. Kelly is a young Irishman, who left Liver pool Docks about three years ago, and passing by New York, Niagara, Michigan, St. Louis, and Independence, struck out, with twenty-four others like himself, on the 'Western trail. In the month of July he stood among the gold diggers, 2,043 miles westward from the extreme town of Indepen dence. This little book is the second issue of a record of the journey; and as the desert has since become a pathway, the book has at once assumed a degree of historic importance. It is published as as the first of a new series entitled The Bookcase ; futikse volume of which will give us the writer's experience at the diggings. We quote the follow ing amusing sketch of THE HEART OF WOMAN draws to itself the loves of others as the diamond drinks up the sun's rays—only to return them in tenfold strength and beauty. WHEN THE BITTERNESS of MALIGNITY is absent, cheerfulness bas full play ; and candour, ever open and benevolent, is the exponent of mirth and good will. IT is cunious with what moral fortitude men can bear with the misfortunes of others.—The sun should shine on festivals, but the moon is the light for ruins. Da. LiiRDNER says that if the earth was begirt by a railway, a train of 210 passengers could with thirty tons of coke make the circuit in five weeks. QUITE A MISTAKE.—Deacon Grant said, " I'm told, Mr. Paine, that you are becoming a terrible bard drinker." " Not a bit," cried Paine, " not a bit—no man ever drank easier." s the "tree of knowledge" was the birch le twigs of which have done more to make man ac quainted with arithmetie than all the other members of 'able kingdom combined. 'MINISTERIAL ADVICE, GRATIS.—Punch (to Lord Derby, represented as a weak invalid): " You are very shaky, Derby. You'll injure your constitution if you don't go to the country." THERE IS A SPANISH DANSEESE coming over in April, for the opera season, so light and ethereal that she dare not travel when the March wind blows, for fear of being whiffed away like a feather.

Wife : Do look at them, husband ; ain't they a precious pair of lambs P—Husband : If they are lambs, wife, what am I? SURE CRITERION.—A countryman visited Burnley, and was complaining of the trouble a drunken man had given him. " How do you know he was drunk ?" said a bystander. The countryman indignantly replied, " What could he be else, when he asked for the shoe-horn to put on his hat with ?" AN IRISHMAN was asked at dinner whether he would take some of the apple-pie. "Is it houlsom ?" i nqu i re d Teddy. "To be sure it is," was the reply : " what makes you ask such a question ?" "Because (said the new comer) I once had an uncle who was killed with the and sure I thought it might be something of that sort." AN AWKWARD DANCE.—Forward two, and hit your partner in the tread-basket; dos a.dos: turn to the right and kick your partner on the shins ; chassez all ; prome nade to the left; accidentally knock down two attendants carrying refreshments, and end by overturning a form con taining sixteen of the late of the company. A CERTAIN PARISH-CLERK, whose name we withhold, overheard a schoolmaster giving lessons in grammar. " You cannot place the singular article," said the pre ceptor, " before plural nouns. No one can say a pigs, a women, a—." " Nonsence !" cried the clerk ; " the prayer-book knows better than you, I should think ; and doesn't it teach me to say every Sunday, a-men ?". HORTICULTURE. OPERATIONS FOR THE WEER Store, Conservatory, Greenhouse, 4 - e.—There has lately been a remarkably scorching influence in the sun's rays, which has caused much injury to plants underglass.. The only remedy is careful shading during the middle of the day, when the sun is very bright. Notwithstanding the earliness of the season, this bad effect has been in many places even worse than in the summer months. Give abundance of air to the greenhouse and pits; place in the latter all the newly-raised bedding plants as•soon as they are potted off. No time should be lost in getting them well hardened. Flower Garden.—The extraordinary drought which has so long prevailed has quite suspended all operations in this department. We may now reasonably hope for a change. Great numbers of evergreens will be found killed by the cold, dry easterly wind ; and if they are ne cessary to the situation, they had better be replaced im mediately the ground becomes well soaked with rain ; otherwise the months of September or October will be found preferable for planting. Kitchen Garden.—Stick the rows of peas as they begin to require support, previously hoeing the soil to them ; sow spring spinach, and in warm situations French beans and scarlet runners. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES ON RAINFORD AND BICKERSTAFF HEATHS. . For several days fires have been raging om Rainford Heath, about ten miles from Liverpool, and in various other districts in that direction, extending for miles round. In that locality large tracts of land are kept as game preserves, and are in places covered with a kind of moss of considerable depth, and which, owing to the long drought, bad become very dry. The keepers and stewards of the Earl of Derby, knowing the danger of firing the heath, had given strict orders to the tenantry not to burn anything upon it ; but in the middle of the week a farmer named Swift unwisely set fire to some rank grass. He quickly discovered the error he had made.. There was a strong westwardly wind, and the fire was driven along until it obtained a communication with the thick beds of furze, which blazed as though they were impregnated with an inflammable liquid. Trenches were dug, and sods placed down, in the hope that they would act as barriers to the progress of the fire ; but still the flames sped on, leaping over trenches, creeping through the long grass and furze, and stretching over places where the soil was exposed, and across high roads and by roads, to spots where traces of their ravages might be left. Occasionally the flames would appear to be dying away, the only indications of . the presence of fire being the volumes of smoke and the smouldering appearance peculiar to burning cotton ; but a current of wind would fan the latent element into a flame of fearful magnitude. The supply of water in the locality was small, and messengers were despatched to the near.est place, where such a vehicle could be found, for a water cart. But the attempt to extinguish the flames by that means proved abortive, for still the fire extended untilthe nearest plantation was reached. A scene of fearful grandeur ensued. The trees, as dry as firewood, gave fuel to the flames, which shot high up into the air. Like a giant refreshed, the fire then extended still further, and destroyed another plantation on Rainford Heath. The screams of hares and rabbits, and the cries of pheasants and partridges, as they were being roasted alive, were quite distressing. Numbers of partridges were seen to rise from the burning heath, ascend a little distance, and then, some from suffocation, and others because of their scorched pinions failing them, tumble down into the fire.. The hay and corn stacks on Lord Derby's farm were re moved. Fortunately, however, the flames did not extend in that direction. On Friday the fire, or rather fires, were at their greatest height. One had been burning several days in that part of the parish of Bickerstaff through which the East Lancashire Railway passes. It had commenced, apparently, by the side of the line, and was caused, it is supposed, by a hot cinder from an engine falling upon the dry grass. At first it did not create much apprehension, but in the course of a day or two it crept along the sides of the line until it extended about two miles in length, and also for a considerable distance across a moor or heath. The occupiers of a lodge of the Earl of Derby's had difficulty in saving it from the flames, and a farmer in the locality was making preparations to remove his furniture. Several plantations in Bickerstaff were also destroyed, besides a large extent of grass land, in cluding two-and-a-half acres, adjoining a lodge on the Earl of Derby's road, being seriously damaged. Such a season of terror has never been known in the neighbour hood. An aged man, whose years number more than a hundred, says he has frequently known the moss to be on fire, but never to such an extent as on the present occa sion. The loss to the Earl of Derby, to whom the whole of the property belongs, will be considerable, several --and pounds at least. At nine o'clock on Saturday were still smouldering, and we believe they et died out ESSINGTON PALACE.—On Friday night a trove up to Kensington Palace.

This may be done either by protecting duties and dues, or such alterations as shall place us on even ground with the foreigner. It is manifestly unfair to tie our hands behind IF, and then pit us against a strong, athletic fellow with his arms at liberty. And as regards corn, it ought to be one of the very first objects of Go vernment, in this isolated country, to encourage by all means the growth of that absolutely necessary article of our existence ; and if a duty on corn is so very objection able, it might be by Government paying a bonus on every quarter of British corn grown, sufficient to place our growers on an eqaality with foreigners. The land is the ordained source of life and wealth by the Almighty ; but proud man thinks he is wiser than God, and says he can find out a better plan. Let our land lie idle, and we buy our corn from others : we can live and get rich by our manufacturing for their wants. There appears to me a good deal of practical infidelity in this, which will in the end meet its due reward ; beside which, the argument is not a fair one, for we are dependent upon others for an article of absolute necessity, while they only reciprocate for what suits their convenience, and in time would pro duce us dear bread and less means. It is altogether untrue that, taking an average of ten or fifteen years, we should have cheap bread and a large' loaf by such a sys tem. Protection should only be advocated on a broad national principle, not simply for farmers or owners of ships; and all excise duties on articles that employ our industrious hands should be abolished. Paper is one that requires relief. Look at our glass trade since the duties were taken off. The paper trade would equally flourish if at liberty. The second point is the religious question. We want men who themselves believe the Bible to be the Word of God, and the Protestant profession the nearest to the truth of that book ; consequently. are prepared' to pro mise that they will neither support error nor persecute it. The third point is one on which there are great diversi ties of opinion, and I do not want to involve thew in all the mazes of the currency question ; but there i?s• one leetle point that I do think of most important conse quence to the commercial classes, nay, indeed, all classes, and that is simply to alter a small word or two in the charter of the Bank of England, viz., where it says that a certain part of the issues of bank notes shall be accord ing to the amount of coin or bullion they possess, let it be inserted "or Government sectrritiev ;" this is a practi cable alteration, I think, and woull tend to prevent the serious panics we have had, such as in 1847, and without which there is no safety in any mercantile operations. To prove the present system bad, just look at it in detail. Sir Robert Peel's bill made some'eacel'lent changes ; for instance, the stopping of private parties making Bank-notes at their pleasure ; the making Bank of England notes a legal tender from such parties as were allowed to con tinue their issues to a fixed amount; but when it required the Bank of England to deposit gold for any issue beyond the amount of the debt due to them by C-cvvernnsent, it in troduced an enormous evil, because gold, being a rnercantile article, would be ever fluctuating and uncertain. It is supposed that the currency of Bank notes and gold may be about 80 millions, while double that amount is always floating in the form of commercial WIN, which do (or ought to) represent property of various' sorts. Now suppose a bad harvest occurs, and we have to. buy ten or fifteen millions more of corn than usual, or suppose con tinental changes call for a great supply of gold ; our stock decreases, the Bank limits its issues, and advances its interest, until it gets to. a point when no commercial paper can be discounted ; a check is put on one hundred and fifty millions- of our currency in a day; and merchants, who have their boxes full of good bills ready to meet their own coming due, are told that " not a bill can be discounted ; " they stop pay ment, their produce is sold off at panic prices, and thou sands of wealthy families are utterly in distress, and all for what ! Simply because one-half of the Bank of England notes depend upon a heap of gold which is ever shifting. Suppose we should be ten or fifteen millions poorer, because we spend that in corn which we should have grown ourselves; that sum should not paralyze a country like oars ; and in the other case of gold being more valuable abroad than► here, it is more absurd, for though we part with gold we get an equivalent for it, with , a profit. The change that I advocate is not introducing' a new system, but only extending the one now acted up• on for one-half of the Bank issues. Government owes' the bank eleven or twelve millions ; they say we cannot pay, but you shall issue notes to that amount. Only say that what further issues you want, either deposit gold or Government sloe*, leaving the convertibility of notes into gold for the bank to manage at their own discretion. If it is a safe plan for half, why not for the whole ? These three points it would: be well to have clearly understood before we support any candidate ; but if we cannot obtain all, why, in the present case I say, if you will fairly support Lord Derby, you shall have my vote, believing the national interest very much safer in his keeping than. in the man who could. turn out one adminis tration upon the question' of appropriating the Church revenues of Ireland to other purposes, declaring that no Government could manage Ireland! without it, and when in office never utters another word' on the subject. Friend., &curt be deceived with the-cry of a Mg roof ; for, depend upon it. whatever they may say, if our land cannot be cultivated, you; will never have cheap bread. It is a gross deception;: therefore be ready, try Lord Derby, and you will at any rate have an honest man. Yours, L. E. W. &Y: SILOS' CHURCH SCHOOL. To the EDITOR of The RIVERPOO.Z. STANDARD, Stn,—The public tea-party of last Tuesday evening, at St.. Silas's Church School,. has one immediate effect,— namely, that of drawing attention to the insufficiency of the school-premises for the wants- of the district. The school is situated underneath the rear of the church, and a hole has-been lately made in the upper part of a strong partition,.so as to cdmit of a cireulation , of sir, between the rooms for the boys and girls. There is-a door leading at once from the room for the boys to that for the infants. The zealous- congregation some time ago commenced a Ragged Day School, in a place in Pembroke -street, neatly fitted up and cleanly kept. From the respecta bility and activity of the congregation, hopes are enter tained that eventually the example of St. Jude's con gregation will be followed in procuring suitable school. premises, commensurate with the necessities and wants of the populous district.—Yours, truly,.

STANDARD, Ste.,—You will oblige me by giving. insertion, in your journal, to the following statement of a providential deli verance of fifteen persons from an untimely death by fire: —Last night a most diabolical attempt was made to burn a house in this town,, wherein the above number of per sons, unconscious. of danger, were• at the time in, the enjoyment of "tired Nature's sweet restorer."' About one o'clock, a.m., a person, returning from a wedding party, observe& the flames, and immediately gave .alarm to the inmates some of whom were with difficulty awa kened from tha t heavy sleep whieltis-always produced by the suffocating and narcotic influence of smoke.. Thanks be to God, the Ere was extinguished, without loss.of life, by the united energies of the inmates, who, in their night dresses exerted themselves onthe occasion. Th e dry ness of the. thatch and the direction of the wind com bined to feed the flames, which,, had they. got a-head. would inevitably have burned a long range of houses, and, perhaps, have hurried many souls into eternity. I have so hesitation in stating that this,wee a malicious act on the part of a Popish emissary, who, ab the heat of his bigoted seal, thought by this fell deed: to.rid the world of ten "- heretics," who formed the chief portion of the inmates. That the house was set on fire by an incendiary can be proved from the fact, that a lighted turf was found in the burning thatch. That the incendiary was actuate& by the principles of his mother church, there can also be no doubt. The owner of the house, named Thos.Bohene, received as lodgers some of the Bishop of Tuam's la bourers, who are Protestants. For this he and his wife had been remonstrated with by a priest and others. They were told by one of the above parties, possessing much influence over them, that " it would be a dear entertain ment for them" ; aid Bohens'' wife stated to-day,, in my presence, that " she would go to that individual, and tell him his words had proved true." I trust that, at the magisterial investigation about to be held, the public• will be more fully informed on this matter. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. CHARLES H. SEYMOUR, Tuam, April 16, 1832. Provost and Vicar of Tuam, THE FRUIT VENDORS. To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,--1 beg to thank you for your kindness in support ing and giving publicity to my humble efforts on behalf of our poor fruit vendors. They have indeed been a most persecuted class, but I am happy to inform you that our worthy magistrates were not aware of it, nor never coun tenanced it. You will perceive a visible improvement under the management of our respected head constable Captain Greig. The poor people feel exceedingly grateful for the kindness now extended to them, and are anxious to pursue a course of conduct that will not offend the au thorities or the public. I may mention that, for their better guidance, I purpose calling meetings in different districts of the town, where I shall have some printed forms to distribute among them, and feel confident, when I have given them to understand the necessity of behaving with order, they will cheerfully comply.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JOSEPH FEENY.

Some of the earliest settings-down took place shortly after our arrival, the ladies, in low dresses tightened round the waist with an indentation more like a girth than a pair of stays; all wearing little kerchiefs of bright colours round their necks, with a sort of semi turban on their head, of a regular rainbow complexion ; and drops, of such dimensions and gravity as elongated ears into the shape of jargonelle pears.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD Slit,—ln the notice to correspondents of - the Liverpool Journal, of last week, there is an attempt to rescue Mr. Herbert from the charge which I brought against him at the sale of Mr. Clow's pictures.- It is there stated-Ist, that " Mr. Clow's ` Outcast' was merely the sketch knocked off in a few hours, and bought by Mr. Clow as such ;" 2nd, that " Mr. Herbert wished to have it engraved, borrowed it, &c. ; but Mr. Shand became impatient, and the _painting was returned to him before the engraving w7tinished, and it in conse q u ence rema i ns unfinished still.' 3rd, "That Mr. Herbert is known to be one of the,most conscientious men living." To which On Friday last, Dr. Baylee delivered a second lecture on the " Inspiration of the Bible;" not in the usual course, but in consequence of the indisposition of the Rev. J. B. Lowe, who had been announced. The order in which he treated the subject will appear from the following analysis : I.—Authenticity and Canonicity. On the former point no learning was not necessary, the Bible was to be acknow ledged as conveying the sentiments of the sacred writers, as the Koran conveyed those of Mahomet. In allusion to the frequent assertions that the canon of Scripture was determined by the chance votes of councils, he said there could be no greater error. The Christian Church, as a whole, had always received it as the Bible. Our Lord him self had admitted the authenticity of the Old Testament Scriptures ; and on this subject Jews and Christians held the same views. The one party acts as a check upon the other, so that corruption is impossible. There is the same sort of evidence in favour of the authenticity of the New Testament. There was the concurrence of all re specting their genuineness ; no fifth gospel had ever been received, and no doubtful letters of Paul or Peter had ever been the subject of controversy. If all the disputed passages were rejected, there woreld still be enough to prove all the important doctrines of the Christian religion ; for the doctrine of the Trinity and the divinity of our Lord followed easily even from the Unitarian. version. The language of the New Testatament furnishes &strong proof of its authenticity. It is not written in pure Attic Greek, and it is contended that God would not instruct man in bad grammar. The objector forgets that the deity addresses us in human language ; and the language in which Chaucer or Wickliffe spoke was that of their coun try and time, not that of our days. The argument makes for revelation not s:qtthrsf it. The existence of gebraisres in the Greek shows that the writing was addressed to Hebrew people, who spoke Greek, but into which they had imported the idioms of their native tongue:- Thus the date was fixed : the' composition must have taken place between the birth o Christ and the destruction of Jerusalem. 2.—Scripture a DiviNekevelagion. With respect tothe Old Testament, the general. proofs are both internal , and external. The former arethe more valuable. They com prise many thousands of predictions, of which not one had been disproved in any age,—they are therefore unques-- tionably divine. The predictions are not preserved alone,. but the record of their fulfilment. For example, Daniel• foretell the existence of four empires, and in the course of 2400 years there has never been a fifth. With regard! to the general character of tale Bible, the more it was. examined the stronger it stood. The' whole of the books on science before the time of Newton' exhibited a remark able amount of error ; but the Fale,.when properly inter preted, exhibited no error, no mistake.. Pure of Inspiration. This- subject was treated more fully in Dr. Baylee's former lecture. It was no evidenceazairtst it that use was made of previous docu ments. So Paul's directions to , Timothy about his cloak and some parchments, and his dbubt respecting the propriety of husband or wife separating from a Heathen partner, are most readily explained on the supposition that the apostle was under the influence or inspiration. All other theories are surrounded with mare diffkalties. 4.—Scripiterece Divine Revelation. rt was a declaration of the Divine mind. In the narrow use-of the term, tho greater part was-no revelation at all, but the authority and the impress of God was placed on it all by inspiration. s.—. Nature 011ie Composition. Some v:ewit as a devo tional book, and some as a doctrinal book: It is very varied, for it unfolds the truths that God shows in His works as well as in His word. It contains h:story, science, and philosophy, and is the centre of human knowledge. Objections had been - raised by those who possessed a smat tering of astronomy or geology; but it was found that though commentators had erred, the word was-still true. On the subject of " Verbal Inspiration," some pertinent remarks were made ;: and the wonderful accuracy - of quota tions from the Old Ti!atament in the New was noticed. Dr. Baylee hoped to be able to conclude the subject in another lecture. Dtring the present week three interesting lectures would be given by R. N. Wornum, of the Government Schools of Design. THE CANTERBURY SETTLEMENT. — AdViCeS+ETB been received from Port Lyttelton, New Zealand,.ttr•the 29th December. They contain no intelligence of importance, but the report of the general progress of the settlement is satisfactory. The anniversary of its foundation had just taken place, and from. some statements published . on the occasion, it appears. that the population is•estimated at 3,000 persons, that' there• are about 550) acres• of land under cultivation, and that the live stock consists of 30,000 sheep, besidbs- cattle and horses. According to accounts from Nelson,. coal had been discovered in that neighbourhood. , MR. FEARGUS ePCOINIZOR'Sr- PRANKS.—OR Tuesday afternoon, application was resale at the Hammersmith - Police-court, by Mr. Danford, a• printer and news-agent, in High-street, Notting-hill, for- protection against Mr. O'Connor, member of - parliament for NottinOiamovho was accustomed to go frequently , into his office, .and, if he found Mrs. Dunford‘ or her apprentices (dressmakers) engaged in their work, he would take the fabriccsrhether or silk, merino, or whatever it happened to be ; and tie it round their heads A' few dais since he again called at the shop. Applicant and his family were abeeot sitting down to dinner. MK O'Connor rushed in and went to the rear of the premises ; where he conducted himself `most indecently. He then returned to the parlour; took np a hot leg of mutton, which was-in adish upon the table, and held it in his hands, at the same time cutting oft the meat and placing large slicer in his mouth. Applicant's little boy was sitting at-the tables-and because he happened togook at him he threatened to cut off'his head:—Another freak of Mr. O'Connor's has- excited a good deal of laughter. Mr. Reynolds, the-member for Dublin, is the happy possessor of; what is popularly called in' London, a I "'most nobby head'of'hair"; the hon. gentleman's locks ;being at once voluminous and' " fuzzy". He was dining, the other day, at a well-known eating-house ism -the Strand, bwhen Feargus, who was similarly engaged. getting slyly ehind him, seized the bushy , head of the Dalin senator in both hands, and rubbed it until the wire roughness of his locks was exaggerated into a perfect wilderness of bushy disorder—the entire roomful of people looking on, of course in a perfect roar of merriment. The correspondent of the Dumfries Courier, after describing therecent fracas between Mr. Herbert ancliMt, F: O'Connor, in the lobby of the house;.which consisted in the former,levelling the latter to the earth for presuming to slap him in the face, says that the records of the house have been searched, with the view of finding whether there is-any precedent for dealing with a member whose mind' has become affected, but none has been found. MORMONISM,—The Swansea Hera/flingilishes a letter just received from a Welsh miner, named. Eran Powell, who embarked last year, with his wife-and 'family, to join the Mormons in Ameriea. It is datediSt. Louis, Dec. 7. The deluded' victim, says :—" Myself, together with my wife and child, have been ill here for- free months, and now I am somewhat-better, but I have lost all my com forts, for I - have buried both wife and. child in the same grave in Illinois. 1' am now living at Missouri. It is very unhealthy here, and I beg oflonto use all your in— fluence to persuade my friends to, stay where they are,. rather than suffer themselves to be-blindfolded into such a system of roguery and plunder as Mormonism. It is-4 notiiing but a mere humbug—l have found it to my heart's- , sorrow. It would have been better for us not to have been born than to have come here to-be Mormons. They . take all from you at home,.and starve you when they come here, if they have the chance, and take your wives from you. . Their chief, Bingham Young, has twenty-four wives, and nineteen of them,have infants at their breasts at present, and those lower in,office than he have a smaller - nnmber, in proportion to their- office, according to- their station. Some have fourteen, some seven, and others different numbers. And now they are trying their best to insult the-officers of the- United' States, who have left their places and have gone to Washington,. and as Congress is now sitting, we shall hear what they will do. The Mormons era- very unkind one to another.. I had' to, dig my wife's grave myself. She had &decent burials,, but the Mormons did not put their hands to help at all. The men who gave them so much money had promises of land and everything- else when they- reached here, but they have been left to die in the workhouse. I wish to tell you also that the Sabbath is no more regarded' here than any other- day. There is gaming of every description here on the Sabbath—such as horse racing, rolling the ten pins, playing cards, &c. ; and the leaders of the Mormons indulge in these to a great extent, together with dancing, swearing, and every thing else that is.beyond decency." LOLA MoNTes IN BOSTON, U.S.—The danseuse has created quite a revolution at Boston. After speaking of the extraordinary excitement in that " staid and exem plary city,"' the Boston correspondent of the New York Herald says :—" Like other great personages of the Old World, Lela Montes surrounds herself with all the pomp, circumstance, and paraphernalia of a sovereign. She holds her levees and rnatinales every morning, reclining In state on her luxurious bed in the Tremont-house. Thus she holds her cabinet council, issues her mandates, consults with her ministers, and directs affairs, just as she was wont to govern her quondam kingdom of Bavaria in her palace of Munich, or as Kossuth used to held his levees in the Irving-house." He also states that she has engaged a literary gentleman to write an epic drama, " embodying the principal events of her wayward life, and introducing into the play the eminent characters with whom she has been brought in contact. It will be in five acts, the first two embracing her European life, in which will appear, as leading characters, Louis the First, ex-King of Bavaria ; his son, Maximilian the Second ; Count Pepin, private secretary to Louis; Eugene Sue, and other Parisian literary characters. In the third act will be introduced Kossuth, Prince Bobo, tabooed in his native African style, little Ravmond, of the Times, and M. Arpin, of the Courrier des Etats Unis. Of course, Lola will play the leading rule herself, and she anticipates a complete triumph on making her second debut in New York, with the introduction of this new and piquant drama." It is said that Lola Montes will bring actions against the before-named Paul Arpin, Greeley, and WElratb, of the Tribune, and Raymond, Weed, Jones, Weely, and Co., of the Times, for defamation of character, damages to be laid at $30,000 in each case ; but that, in mercy to the defendants, and to save the time and trouble of a contested suit, she will compound with them, and allow them a discount of from 15 to 20 per cent. for prompt Payment of the whole sum demanded, but she is determined to make no greater relaxation in their favour.

BAYLEE TO EDWARD CARD WELL, ESQ., 3LP, LETTER II SIR,—On the 13th of this month I took the liberty of inditing a letter to you, through the Li verpool Standard, on the subject of your address to the electors of this town, and to which you have not thought proper to reply. I can only ascribe your silence to one of two reasons, viz., either that you find it impossible to confute my statements, or that you are afraid to dabble further in the statistical waters, lest you should raise the mud to the surface, and thereby expose to the public the impurity of the system you are so contumaciously defending. Now I have always understood that when persons make public statements, and more especially so when seeking the honour of representing a large consti tuency, that it is„a duty incumbent upon them, and a debt justly due to the electors, that they should manfully defend their own statements, or openly and candidly admit their error. If your ideas are, that you think by your silence the subject is disposed of, and that it will die away as a nine days' wonder, you greatly deceive yourself, as the succeeding portion of this letter will prove, and to which I again call your attention. I boldly throw down the gauntlet, and fearlessly challenge you to confute the statements I have previously, and shall continue to adduce, in proving the fallacy of the system of a one-sided Free Trade, and 'that the figurative display in your address is anything but a proof of the wisdom of that policy. You say the increase in the exports of 1851 over 1842 are the effects of Free Trade. In my last let ter I showed you, in the gross„that this was not the case. I will now, as an additional proof, go some what further into detail. An Account of the total amount of British and Irish Produce and Manz actures exported to Europe in Atom- )840, 1845, and 1850: Protection years Free Trade year 1840 , 1845 1830 13,416,199 3,439,035 3,572;632 8811,2861 1,479,058 1,136,231 2:375,1491 2 791.2381 2.401 ~/ /1,956 1,188,144 1,058,825 1,118,389 450,124' 718,908 926,75 . 1: 1,111.176 768,973 188,141.

We have daily proofs of such fallacies; and the sooner we -have- a reversal; ,the better. You will no doubt notice that I have left , out the Milted States from the first table, though, it is a largegrain-exporting country. This I did adtisedly, as,from peculiar circumstances, which I will explain below, I'eould not consistently include it with Eu rope, hut: here give it,, separately, for a long series of years : Exports, of British and , Irish Produce and' Manu factures to the United States 1832 £5,468;272 1833.. 7,579;699 1834 1&35 10,568,455 1336........ 12,425,6051 United States-Tariff cons'. 1837........ 4,695,225 .1 aiderabLy, increased. 1838.. 7,585,760 1839 8;839,204 1840 5,283.020 1841 7;098,642 1842.. 1843........ 5,013,514 1844. 1845 1846 6,830,460 dorably reduced. 1847 IE4B 9.564,909 Average of four free-trade 18 49.......... 11,971,028 years, 411,850,514 1850.. 14,891,961 Thus from 1:832 to 1836 we made a great advance ment in our exports to the States; but just about this period they raised their tariff very considerably, and in the following year our exports fell to only R,4,500000 , ,, or two-thirds less than the former one, and westill continued considerably below 1836, until they reduced the tariff in 1846, when it rose to £14 ) &9'1,961 in 1850. But do not for one moment suppose that this was the effects of Free Trade, but a natural increased consumption, from an increased population, and their trading with Canada; for by referring to the last four free-trade years, they only average £11,850,514, while that of 1836 was £12,425,605, shewing a decrease on average of 1847- 8-9-50, of £575,091, as compared with the Protec tion year of 1836 ! ! I . Does this prove the benefits of that policy. And as regards Ireland, what has caused so much land to go out of cultivation, and that it should become an importing instead of an exporting coun try? From the following table you will perceive the great falling off : Grain and Wheat, and Meal Flour imported from Ireland into Great Britain. Grain Wheat, Meal, and Flour 1845. 1850. • qrs. 2,166,300 809.300 cwts. 2,479,000 1,183,300 whereas in ISSO we exported to Ireland, fr om G reat Britain, 508,859 quarters of grain and 347 33 cwts of flour, &c., and they received direct from foreign countries, 1,683,687 quarters of grain, and 220,107 cwts. of flour, &c., making the total imports into Ireland of grain, 2,192,546 quarters, and of flour, &e., 567,340 cwts. ; so that, instead of having a sur plus of provisions to export, in consequence of the great numbers who have emigrated from that country, they actually have to import for their own necessities !!!
