MY HEART'S WITH THE QUEEN. My hope is with old England —my heart is with the Queen, Whose name, like some enchantment, lends new gladness to each scene. Bend, peers of Britain, to the throne, and pay the homage due, — The soul of England's peasantry, unbending, glows as true . ;. There's not a swain that tills the plain, nor nymph that trips the green, But says—" My hope's with England—my heart is with my - Queen !" Come with thine ink of roses, the pen of angels' wing— Come, History, date Victoria's deeds, for aftertime to sing; The dove upon the lion's mane—the rose around the oak-- The lily, o'er whose ocean reign no storm as yet bath broke. Rejoice ye gallant mariners—where'er the flag bath been. Your hope was with old England—your hearts were with your Queen !" Yes, sing, thou little lisper—flower of thy mother's knee, Victoria, though thou reck'st not why, seems melody to thee, Turn, Love, to music turn thy strings, the quiver cast aside. Tby bow and useless arrows now go scatter wild and wide; For here no rebel bosom beats but For one virgin mien, And she's the hope of England—All hearts are with their Queen. C. SWAIN A WARNING TO EN'GLAND._ " Let England remember the hour of her pide, What the arms of her heroes made her, What fields with the blood of her martyrs were dyed, When the foes of her rights would invade her; When she tore the sceptre from slavery's hand— When her red cross was proudly streaming; When she trampled in ashes the fiery brand That in Rome's fierce grasp was gleaming. When the world was in arms against her gates; When against the world she thundered; When her scale sustained earth's final fates; When earth was saved and wondered; When her people were fearless, and free and one, And her church was a holy thing, When her mighty throne was a Protestant throne, And her King was the Protestant King. Let England now think of the days to. come, When the sun of her glory shall set; When her priests shall be sycophant slaves of Rome ; When her soil shalt with blood be wet; When Rome shall defile her holy walls; When the proud idolater With traitors shall sit in her council hall, Then, England, thy death is near!" CONTEMPORARY PRESS. JOSEPH HUME A " REPEALER." ( From the Manchester Courier.) Mr. Joseph Hume, the rejected of Middlesex—the prating, cackling, pragmatical Mr. Hume—has once more hung up his insignificance to the contempt and ridicule of the world. He has fallen -into the cacoe thes scribendi which so eminently distinguishes the respectable gentleman under whose protection he placed himself when he was ejected from Middlesexat the general election; and has written a letter to the Mayor of Kilkenny, in which he very pathetically sympathises with " the oppressed people of Ireland," and on certain conditions declares his intention of be coming'a "repealer." It is said that the cackling of the geese in the capitol, once saved Rome. The ef forts of emigrant poultry from Middlesex will hardly work so important a result for Ireland, or we should already have had a foretaste of the happy consequences of Mr. Joseph Hume's introduction to " the boys of Kilkenny." But hear what he promises : " In the present Parliament (says he) the support of the church establishment in its present extent and resources stands in the way of all reformers for the benefit of Ireland ; and though much opposed to the repeal of the legislative powers as regards Ireland's having a separate legislature, I am obliged to confess that the conduct of the House of Lords in denying justice to the people of Ireland, as it is now doing, must soon alter my opinions, and urge me to support the proposal for a separate legislature, in which the best interests and happiness of Ireland may be attended to. "1 reg ret much that the repeated denial of justice to Ireland, by the Imperial Legislature, has forced Me to these conclusions, which I thus communicate to my constituents, that they may be acquainted with them, and consider what should be dune by them at :his important crisis" It must strike every one as being exceedingly strange that Mr. Hume's motive for "communicating“ his " conclusions" to his constituents, is "that they may be acquainted with them." For ourselves we know not whether most to admire his logic or the bold ness of his declaration in favour of " repeal." Both are remarkably absurd, and we pay him a just com pliment in which sincerity has a large share, when we say, both are exactly characteristic of his nature. But Mr. Joseph Hume is not precisely the sort of man to commit himself to "reheat" without weighty reasons. He is proverbially selfish and crafty, and every public act of his life has been strongly marked by these ruling passions —or, rather, actuating princi ples. His political baseness has been such as to lead us to the conclusion, that if nature had given him a strength of mind and firmness of purpose qualified to keep pace with the emotions and principles of his heart, he would have been• the greatest curse that this country ever knew. We have seen that neither sense of shame, fear of punishment, nor compunctions of conscience, have formed any obstruction to his career and wickedness; and e% en in his old age, with one foot as it were in the grave, we are shocked with direct evidence that he aided and abetted in producing the bloodshed consequent on the rebellion in Canada. All these facts are as familiar as household words with the electors of England, and Joseph Hume well knows, that henceforth, as far as the parliamentary representation of England is concerned, lie is an out cast. Kilkenny, therefore, at present, is his only hope. As a joint of " the tail," O'Connell is his mas ter, and he must secure the mountebank's favour, by echoing his claptrap nostrums for the " misery," or, properly speaking, political distemper of lrelanil. The electors of Kilkenny are the instruments by which he holds a seat in parliament, and he must accordingly cajole them, by sympathizing with them in their op pressed" state, and by holding out expectations of his becoming a " repealer." What a refuge for the des titute (in character) has Ireland become THE QUEEN AND ETON COLLEGE. (From the John Bull.) Monday last was election Monday at Eton—but her Majesty Was not present at the speeches. This marked deviation from an established custom is in the highest degree discreditable to the tact and sense of the Queen's ministers. As we have before ventured to suggest, it is from amongst the young men of Eton, and the other great public schools, that the Queen in all probability will have to select her ministers, when the elders who nqw surround. her Majesty's throne anti dinner table are quietly revising in their several family vaults, or parish church-yards, according to their several degrees. The elders, who, to do them justice, seldom look be yond the shirkings and subterfuges of the day, are playing a most extraordinary game in alienating the affections of such a scho o l as Eton from a young and amiable sovereign, by advising her Majesty, upon every occasion when it can be publicly shown, to ex hibit a marked neglect of an institution which her il lustrious relations and predecessors. delighted to ho nour and support. We say this is most injudicious, unless, as some peop l e have hinted, it is part of the government policy to c h ee k th e Queen's popularity in order to induce h Majesty to fancy herself e ntirel y at the me rcy of r her ministers. As for Lord Melbourne's reason for the marked withdrawal of the royal favour from Eton, that it is a tory school, it is a bad reason. His lord ship, who was at Eton himself, and was a tory at that tory school, is a living proof that royal favour can sometimes convert even an Etonian tory into a radical Whig; and moreover, as we have already said, as mat ters now stand in the country, Eton is not likely to get less tory by repeated manifestations of royal neglect and disdain. THE GREY FAMILY AND THE MINISTRY. (From the John Bull.) With the present Ministry, Earl Grey either would not, or could not, continue. But his Lordship's eldest son, Lord Howick—his eldest son-in-law, the Earl of Durham—and his eldest nephew, Sir George Grey, remain to comfort and console, with their official com panionship in his Ministerial career, the lamb-like vic tim of the Irish Satan—in the various capacities of Se cretary at War, Canadian Dictator, and Under Colo nial Secretary. Now--knarririg---poor-Lorti -11,-;stus-e diwagyearuent— and, though great, it is not much to bar; for, Scotch manlike, the head of the Elliott's has all that perseve rance of fortitude which, under what others might. think unbearable, shows itself "more in patience, than re signation"—these three members of Lord Grey's fa mily are the only placemen who are descentients, to the policy and regime of the pet but destined Lamb. Lord Durham appoints to Canadian office Mr. Tur ton, and Mr. Gibbon Wakefield, in spite of the insti hich, as the Chief Minister of our oung Queen, Lord Melbourne so its in making to the morals of those ,rd Howick flies in the face of Lord Irish Tithe Bill ; . and Sir George the moment it reaches the Com mons, the East India Slave Bill, introduced into the Lords by his ever wakeful superior, Lord Glenelg. Lord Melbourne has not been looking usually gay and frisky lately. Some persons have attributed this to the fati g ue of business ; o th ers t o th e f a ti g u e of pleasure. Some to one cause, some another. And when it was suggested to Lord Brougham that the change in the noble Premier's looks was the effect of " the blue devils;"—"Nay, nay," said the learned lord, " much rather, I think, the Grey Friers"—al luding to Lord Howick's and Lord Durham's tempers —" who, you will yet see, will make a 6 Lamb's fry,' before they have done." MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON THE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY OF THE ARTICULATED 4 MOLL USCO US CLASSES OF ✓INILMALS. On Wednesday, Robert E. Grant, M.D., F.R.S., London and Edinburgh, F.L.S., F.G..5., F.L.S., &c. &c., Pro fessor in the Royal Institution of Great Britain and in Uni versity College, London, commenced a course of eight lectures at this institution upon the above noble and interest ing theme. The Lecture room presented the same imposing appearance which characterised it. during the past season, during the lectures of the most talented professors. The back of the lecturer's platform was crowded with large and well executed diagrams of the articulated animals referred to, and without which it is impossible to give any thing approach ing to a perfect report of the doctor's valuable lecture. The low tone in which he delivered portions of the lecture must likewise be our excuse for the numerous imperfections which our report contains. Enough, however, is given to convince the reader of the high mental and scientific attainments of the talented lecturer, and to convince him, especially if he have access to a syllabus, of the importance of the remainder of the course. Of all subjects, perhaps, the most interesting are those which are connected with the human frame, since it is only by a perfect acquaintance with its internal mechanism tbat we can hope to remedy the various evils that may befal it. On this account so much attention is devoted to anatomy and physiology, as connected with man and the higher animals which Emend breath around him. Of all the species of me chanism, and of all the phenomena submitted to our inspec tion in the material universe, nothing approaches to the organs of the higher animals and of man. But were it not that we have pieces - of mechanism submitted to us in the inferior branches of creation which ore constructed upon the same pure and general system, it would be• impos sible to analyse the uses of some of the organs of man.— These would remain, a mystery to us, had we not a key to them in some of the humbler animals. If ever we can hope to investigate the wonders of ' man's econo my, it will he by patient analyzation of the forms of those creatures infinitely below him. A great interest is thus concentrated upon the study of the anatomy of the smaller kinds of beings, on account of their relation to the being of man himself. We have in the inferior tribes pieces of mechanism, which are not liable to constant improve ments. Every day we see men of genius devising improve ments in mechanism which was previously considered per fect, and which, in all probability, may be still far froth having reached it; but we never see this in organic nature. There is no defect in the mechanism which we shall have to consider, except that which arises from our own ignorance. Everything is here perfect for the purpose for which it was created. Even those animals which approach so near in character to a vegetable, present us with organization which still baffles all human inquiry. We can go to a certain de gree in examining the springs of their movements, but be yond that we never can penetrate. We should not say never penetrate, because we are still advancing, and new things are continually appearing to us, which we should never have dreamed of iliscoverine% In your - former humble theatre, we had the pleasure of calling your attention to a variety, of small beings floating . about on the surfaCe of the ocean, called monads, and swimming about in such myriads in the waters, that there are 150 millions contained in a single drop of water. They teem nut only in the waters of the ocean, but in every pool of water on the surAce of the globe. When these pools are dried up, the cavities which contained them are encrusted with their animalculaa or animated dust, which upon the return of water again resume their wonted ac tivity. This dust is carried about by the winds to every quarter of the globe, and resting on the mountain top, or in the depths of the sallies, is again quickened by the rains from Heaven, and resumes its existence. Yet, notwithstanding the minuteness of the animalculre, by the the aid of optical instruments we can distinguish their sto machs and the various organs by which they are enabled to sustain their existence. Minute as are these monads, they perform an important part in the economy of nature. It is not the great bulk of animals which renders them important in the economy of nature. On the contrary it is generally in the inverse ratio to their magnitude that they are thus im portant. It was scarcely, a short time since, believed that those very minute polygastric animalculm which swim in such myriads in the waters of the ocean and the fresh waters of the world had left their remains to us, in the strata of the earth, but modern research has discovered that the tertiary strata abounds in distinct organic forms which there has been no difficulty in recognising as belonging to this class of ani malculw. The lecturer had himself examined many of them, and had seen that they exactly corresponded in all their peripheral markings with the animalculm now existing in the waters. He had some of these specimens sent to him for examination from Lapland, Germany, and various islands in the Atlantic ocean. They formed a soft friable sort of stratum. In a part of Bohemia the skeletons were so minute that no less than 40 thousands of millions were contained in one cubic inch. It will thus be perceived that they are objects of great minuteness, and that they require great magnifying power, to enable the observer to decide that there is no fallacy in the conclusion. There are several species which do not require such high magnifying power, and some of the living forms had been carefully washed by the lecturer for several weeks in nitric, muriatic and sulphuric acid, and he could thus plainly discern their siliceous structures and compare them with the extinct species. The strata in Bohemia com posed of these siliceous animalculm is 14 feet in vertical depth, and it is impossible to say how far it extends and whether it may not encircle the globe. This discovery opens to us ideas perfectly new, for a short time since it was not known to any geologist that animalculm had left any such strata. Mi nute as these animalculm are, they have contributed to form a most useful part of our new strata. You will observe also that the corals are of great abundance and importance in nature. The animalculm are important in the economy of nature; they pave the bottom of the sea with carbonate of lime, and serve to fill up valleys in the sea, which are after wards to he upheaved by volcanic agency to form future rocks. We formerly directed your attention to certain ani mals, the medusa;, which are the soft gelatinous masses that we see floating in every salt-water river and ocean through out the globe. These soft, transparent, gelatinous, stinging animals are apparently very inert, but they are capable of swimming by their own efforts, and are gregarious.' They have eyes to guide them in their motions, muscles to cause those tnotions, and a nervous system. They are the food of higher animals, and themselves prey upon smaller animal calm, and the miPuter crust acem. They are not fixed to one spot like the corals, but capable of locomotion. We observe that where these animals are free, and capable of moving about spontaneously, in order that they may obtain that kind of food which swims along with them through the waters, they are necessarily light—they are not weighed down by the heavy coverings of the crustaceous animals. They are entirely naked, so that they may swing with great' latitude in smooth water. There are many, however, of the radiated animals which remain almost permanently at the bottom of the sea, and consequently exposed to the moving masses of stones and gravel which that great element is con stantly rolling to and fro. The echinodrma, therefore, have a solid covering. They form a striking contrast to the sea nettles, which swim freely through the waters. We cannot go through all the radiated tribe of animals, but there is one circumstance attending them of importance, which is, that the axis of the body in the radiata is vertical, and the mouth is directed downwards. In the sea urchin, the mouth is downwards in a vertical axis. _ _ The great subdivision of the animal kingdom which comes next to the radiated is the articulated. The reason of the term will be very obvious by looking at the lobster. We can distinctly see that the trunk of the body is jointed or articu lated, so as to enable the anima: to creep into all those rocks in which the animal is destined to live. We find that the common earth worm is articulated. There is a tribe of ani malculm of great minuteness belonging to this division, which is to be found solely in water. The articulated animals creep along in an horizontal position with their trunk, whether they have the soft form of the worm, or the more protected one of the crab and the lobster. They creep along upon their belly, or that part in which the spinal cord is deposited. This cor responds to our back, or thedorsal part of a fish. Thus these animals appear to be inverted or upset. If we open a lobster, we shall see the heart in the middle of the back. This is are markable condition of the articulated tribe, which - appears to prove that they are inverted creatures. The wheel animalculm belonging to this division are en tirely equatic, swimming in the waters of the ocean, and in greater numbers in fresh water. They are confined to no latitude on the face of the earth. They are all extremely minute, indeed the name animalculce will indicate that they are beings of extreme minuteness. They possess a compli cated nervous system, and gifted with distinct veins, with blood running through them. They have large and powerful muscles which we can count the fibres of, and see in ac tion. The wheel animalculm occur in such vast abundance, that they obviously serve some important purpose of nature. The doctor then proceeded, by the aid of his excellent dia grams, to give a lucid and powerful explanation of the anatomy and physiology of this tribe of animalcuim, which it would be impossible for us to attempt a description of. Their bodies are transparent as the purest crystal, so that we need no cutting to see into theiraction of their different organs, but sim ply place them in a powerful microspope between two plates of mica. The mechanism of their vibratile cilia is yet unknown, although we meet with them so large that they may be seen by the naked eye. We have them in the human lungs, and they are the last parts of the hiAriau system w hich cease their activity. They have been observed vibrating . in the human lungs thirty-eight hours after life. It is a mistaken notion to suppose that these cilia decribe a circular motion, they move in waves, although apparently they revolve, whence the name wheel animalculm. They are furnished with distinct organs of vision, which, in all probability minute though they are, possess the crystalline lens, vitre ous humour, and all the other adjuncts of the human eye. Near the muscular masses which supply the power of the vibratile siria is a large circular muscular mass, containing the teeth of the animalcule:, it is in fact, a pharynx. The teeth move transversely, and are in incessant activity. The water which flows through the pipes in cities, abounds in wheel 'animalculm• You may easily distinguish them by their graceful waltzing motion. It is 'only given to man to discover such animation, when he is polished by the arts and sciences, and thereby released from the trammels of igno rance. It is only given to us to prove the richness of nature when we have laboured hard in the fields of science, and cultivated the mind so as to raise it above vulgar preju dices. Then we can see anitnalculte in fluid, which to ordi- nary observers would appear homogenous and pure. When these animalculee sink down, they come to the surface of the sediment, and do not sink into it. Of all creatures these, along with the poligastrm tribe, are the most liable to de struction from the 'trying up of the waters which contain them. They are the food of animals higher in the scale, which would perish if these animalcule° were destroyed from the face of nature. There is no link which can be removed from the grand chain of nature without the destruction of the whole. If such a thing took place, the universe must be altered. If we remove this important link, what myriads of beings would immediately perish ! But although of all creatures these are the most liable to destruction, which would seem to indicate a defect in nature, yet when rain falls upon the slates of a house it quickens and carries along with it millions of them: indeed naturalists gene rally look for them in the spouts of houses. When drought comes, where do they go ? Do they dissolve into jelly, or do they pass into air ? Neither. It has been proved by experiments that they can be dried and kept n a t w. a s t t e a r t , t h w e i y t h i o m u t in e loss t e o l f y v move t a ; b f o o t r i t , l observers,—nay, s i s e r experiment ve r s,n ay has been performe d of the species in the dried state for w f upon o i r th a a re-r h m e t rn i rnepersriiinostnit pristine ih. i.

PARLIAMENTARY REGISTRATION.—TO LODGERS. —Per. sons althouv.ft Lagers, who use a part of their premises. even an attic, kitchen, or cellar, as a shop, workshop, warehouse, store-room, or counting-house, if worth four shillings a week or £ lO. a year. are entitled to vote for members of parliament in cities and boroughs. Any lodger who pays this amount of rent has also the right, if his landlord do not sleep on the premises, or if the lodger has a separate entrance or the con trol of an outer door, or occupies a separate building. It i s only necessary in all these cases that the lodger should re quire one of the overseers to put his name on the poor rate book, and any payment afterwards made by bun may be de ducted front the rent, as the landlord will, in consequence of such claim to be rated, pav proportionably less. Where a man rents a house, and the parish officers have rated t he landlord, the tenant will b e en titl e d t o vo t e after he has claimed to be rated, or has got his name put on the poor rate. Every tenant, although a lodger, who is liable to a yearly rent of not less than ao. is entitled to vote for the county, if his premises do not confer a vote for a city or borough.

V 5 THE PRESENT COMET. On the 26th of November, 1818, M. Pons, a French astro nomer, discovered, at Marseilles, the presence of a small comet in the firmament, and communicated the fact to the Academy of Sciences of Paris. M. Bouvard, the astrono mer at the Royal Observatory at Paris, observed it, and cal culated the path which it traversed in passing through the system during the month of December and part of January. On the 13th of January, 1819, he communicated the result of his observations to the Board of Longitude of France; and M. Arago observed, that a comet resembling it, had been recorded in the year 1805, which followed the same path. It was thence thought probable that this was the same comet returning upon its steps after an interval of 13 years. M. Encke, an eminent astronomer of Berlin, bestowed more than ordinary care in the observation of this body during the early part of 1819. Where so small a part of the complete orbit could be observed he felt that a proportionate degree of precision was indispensable. Any inaccuracy in the observed part would be exaggerated in the much larger por tion to be discovered, and would involve the solution he amied at in more and more doubt. He succeeded, however, in tracing the visible path of the comet with sufficient accu racy to enable him to declare that it was a fragment of an extensive elliptical curve of a very oval form, its extreme length being about twice its breath that the sun was placed at one of the foci ten times nearer to one end of the oval than to the other; that the end of the oval nearest to the sun was just within the orbit of the nearest planet—Mercury, while the further end of it reached nearly to the orbit of Jupiter. Having thus discovered the complete path in which this comet must have moved, the calculation of the time of its motion was easy. The period of completing its course, and returning to the same point of its path was ascertained to be 1208 days. This discovery enabled astronomers to take a retrospect of its past history, and to ascertain which of its former visits had been noticed. It was, accordingly found that it was first seen in 1786, by Machain and Messier, two French astrono mers; the latter of whom obtained such a reputation for dis covering the presence of comets, that Louis XV. conferred upon him the soubriquet of Le F'uret de Cometes (the Comet Ferret.) Such was the difficulty of perceiving it, that these astronomers only obtained two observations, which were quite insufficient for the calculation of its path. It was next seen by Miss Hershel,* the aunt of Sir John Herschel, in 1795, and was, in the same year, observed by several European astronomers. During its visit in 1805, it was, as we have already stated, observed; and on that occasion its course through the system was sufficiently determined to identify it with that which it followed on its appearance in 1818-1819. This body, which is now called Encke's comet, is therefore a regular member of the solar system, moving round the sun in obedience to the law of gravitation. Its motion differs in nothing from that of the planets, except in the greater ellipti city of its path. It is well known that the orbits of the planets are nearly circular, are all in the same plane, and the motion in them is all in the same direction. The orbit of Encke's comet is also nearly in the common plane of the ecliptic being only 13 degrees. It moves round the sun in the same direction as the planets. Having succeeded in determining the periodic time and other circumstances connected with the motion of this comet, Encke was enabled to predict its succeeding returns; and it has fully verified his calculations, by its several appearances in 1822, 1825, 1829, 1832, and 1835. Its next predicted re-appearance is during the present month; and this prediction will be verified when these pas sages are in the hands of the reader. Professor Backe has published an ephemeris exhibiting its place in the firmament from day to day, from the Ist of Angust to the last day of December. This ephemeris is, of course, calculated fur the meridian of Berlin ; but we are in debted to the active and efficient superintendent of our nau tical almanack, Lieutenant Stratford, for a corresponding ephemeris deduced from the former, for the meridian of Greenwich. By these calculations, it appears that, on the 2d of the present month, the comet must pass our meridian at twenty three minutes past five in the morning, and on each succeed ing day will pass it earlier, until the last day of the month, on which it will pass it at a quarter before four in the morn ing. The point where it will cross the meridian on the 2d of the month will be 30 degrees south of the zenith ; and each suc cessive day it will pass the meridian at a more elevated point. On the last day of August it will cross the meridian at 23 degrees south of the zenith. During this month the comet will be visible in the firma ment, on the eastern side of the meridian, between ten o'clock at night and five in the morning, and will be at a sufficient elevation to be discovered by a good telescope. During the month of September, the time of its passing the meridian will gradually come nearer to midnight, and it will consequently be in circumstances still more favourable for observation. On the 15th of October it will pass through the zenith at midnight; and on the of November it will cross the meridian at noon, at a distance of 48 degrees south of the zenith. It will then be in a position more unfavour able for observation. The comet will be at its least distance, from the earth on the 7th of November, and at its least distance from the sun on the 18th of December. The appearance of this comet is that of small round nebula without the appendage of a tail. It is rather brighter to wards the centre than at the edges; but so faint, even when brightest, that it is discovered in the heavens at all times with some difficulty. It produces not the slightest observable effect by its attraction on any body of the solar system ; but on the other hand, suffers considerable perturbations by the attraction of the planets on it. All these circumstances lead to the conclusion, that it is a small light globe of matter, probably destitute of solidity, and in a state of vapour.— Abridged from the Monthly Chronicle for Auq. * This lady is the sister of the late Sir William Herschel.

Several miles of road are ready for laying the per manent way, and one half of the whole length will tie laid by the end of the present year, unless the weathershall prove uuf.‘vouralale., _ The. public may expect the _ahaveatamed. por.L tion of the line to be opened on the Ist of May, 1839. The line between Nottingham and Derby, it is anticipated, will be better than any let made, as the rails are stronger in sec tion than any now in use; the blocks are of a very superior quality, and the materials for ballast of the best description for the purpose. A beautiful cast-iron bridge is to be built over the liver Trent, at Red-bill, and is to be of three arches span, of 100 feet each. The contractor is now constructing the cyffer-dam for the pier; he has also commenced the tun nel trough the ridge at Red-hill. From the Trent to Lei cester the contractors are proceeding with the greatest possi ble despatch. Nearly -1000 men are employed, viz.:-800 on the Nottingham and Derby line, about 1200 between the Trent and Leicester, and nearly 2000 between Leicester and Rugby. The line across the meadows, approaching the Not tingham station, is proceeding with railroad celerity, and the contractors feel confident that this part of the line will be finished long before the stipulated time—Derbyshire Courier.

SELECT EXTRACTS. A Durcu FERRY.—Of all the different kinds of ferrying that by means of what is called a flying bridge is considerably the best and most convenient, where it can be adopted, which is only where the river has a considerable current. An anchor is fixed at a certain distance up the stream, al ways greater than the breadth of the river. from which a cable of rope or chain passes to the platform of the ferry-boat, which is usually supported on two large barges. This cable is buoyed up by passing over such a number of boats as may be found necessary. If the rudder of the large platform be moved so as to turn the heads of the supporting barges about a point of the compass towards the stream, so as to let it act against the sides of their bows, they will, of course, sheer across, or oscillate like a pendulum, with a slow and uniform motion to the opposite side, the cable and its supporting boats edging over in the direction of the platform. By having the platform the same height as that of the two p►ers or landing places on the sides of the river, carriages of any size, carts, or waggons, without unyoking_the horsesmay_drive..upon it, and pass over without disturbing passengers or baggage with in them.—Family ToUr through South Holland. INVENTION OF THE MICROSCOPE AND THE TELESCOPE.— It has been well observed, that about the same time when the invention of the telescope showed us that there might be myriads of other worlds claiming the Creator's care, the in vention of the microscope proved to us that there were in our own world myriads of creatures, before unknown, which this care was preserving. While one discovery seemed to re move the Divine Providence further from us, the other gave us most striking examples that it was far more active in our neighbourhood than we had supposed; while the first ex tended the boundaries rofGod's k nown ki ng d om, th e secon d made its known administration more minute and careful. It appeared that in the leaf and in the bud, in solids and in fluids, animals existed hitherto unsuspected; the apparently dead masses and blank spaces of the world were found to swarm with life. And yet, of the animals thus revealed, all, though unknown to us before, had never been forgotten by Providence. Their structure, their vessels and limbs, their adaptation to their situation, their food and habitations, were regulated in as beautiful and complete a manner as those of the largest and apparently most favoured animals. The smallest insects are as exactly finished, often as gaily orna mented, as the most graceful beasts, or the birds of brightest plumage. And when we seem to go out of the domain of the complex animal structure with which we are familiar, and come to animals of apparently more scanty faculties, and less developed powers of enjoyment and action, we still find that their faculties and their senses are in exact harmony with their situation and circumstances; that the wants which they have are provided for, and the powers which they pos-- sess called into action. So that Miller, the patient and accu rate observer of the smallest and most obscure microscopical animalcule, declares that all classes alike, those which have manifest organs, and those which have not, offer a vast quan tity of new and striking views of the animal economy, every step of our discoveries leading us to admire the design and care of the Creator. We find, therefore, that the Divine Providence is, iii fact, capable of extending itself adequately to an immense succession of tribes of beings, surpassing what we can imagine or could previously have anticipated; and thus we may feel secure, so far as analogy can secure us, thr.t the mere multitude of created objects cannot remove us from the government and superintendence of the Creator.— Rev.

The imports of free Grain since this day se'nnight have been extremely limited. The arrivals from foreign ports consist chiefly of 4.100 quarters of Wheat and 1,100 quarters of Oats. The un favourable state of the weather for the growing crops, and reports from various parts of the country that they have already sutl'ered injury to a considerable extent, have this week caused great excite ment in our Grain market. The transactions in bonded Wheat have been to a very large amount, and they include several pur chases made by the interior millers : 8s 4d to 8s 60 per 7016 s was the range of prices on Tuesday last for fresh red, but as high as 9s per 70Ibs has since been realized. There has, at the same time, been a very active demand for most articles of the free trade, at daily advancing prices, and Wheat is now Gd to 9d, Oats 3d to 4d per bushel dearer. Flour fully 3s per sack and Oatmeal 3s to 4s per load dearer than at the close of last week. The best English white Wheat has brought its 9d, red Its 40, and fine Irish red lOs 8d per 701bs. Oats have sold at 33 40 to 3s 8d per 451hs ; Flour at 56s to 60s per sack ; Oatmeal at 29s to 31a Gd per load. The market is still almost void of Barley : 5s 6d to 5s 10d per 601bs would be paid for good parcels. Beans and Peas, with a slow sale, are fully as dear. Bonded Flour, as well as Wheat. has attracted the notice of speculators, and some quantity of Baltic sweet has changed ha nds 30s to 35s per barrel. LATEST DATES AT LIVERPOOL.
