Vottrp. SUMMER. (From the Sunbeam.) I'm coming along with a bounding pace, To finish the work that spring begun; I've left them all with a brilliant face, The flow'rs in the vales through which I've run. I have hung festoons from laburnum trees, And cloth'd the lilac, the birch and broom ; I've waken'd the sound of humming bees, And deck'd all nature - ini,righter bloom. I've roused the laugh of the playful child, And 'ticed it out in the sunny noon ; All nature at my approach bath And I've made fond lovers seek the moon. For this is my life, my glorious reign, And I'll queen it well in my leafy bower, All shall be bright in my rich domain, I'm queen of the leaf, the bud, and flower. And I'll reign in triumph till autumn time Shall conquer my green and verdant pride, Then I'll hie me to another clime,- Till I'm called again as a sunny bride. F. L, THERE'S MUSIC. (From Tait's Magazine.) There's music in the breath of fkwers (Fair gifts of the gladdening spring), Which mock all other things of earth In their bright apparelling. There's music in the voice of streams, Rushing on to the sounding sea, As they silently glide on their fearless course, With their faint, low melody. There's music in the fitful tone Of the balmy summer breeze, As it sends through the lonely, midnight air-- A sigh from the forest trees. There's music in the tempest's voice, And the moan of the pathless sea • For they guide our thoughts from this work-day world To dreams of eternity. There's music in all things of earth; And the silent stars of Heaven Have a dream-like music of their own, To the God of Creation given. Through the boundless realms of viewless space, These choral symphonies rise, From the tthousaud spheres of the starry world, To the Maker of earth and skies. L. C. P. LITERARY NOTICES. The Naturalist. Edited by Neville Wood, Esq.— London Whittaker and Co. Vol. 11. The present volume, ending the year 1837, con tains contributions by the following eminent natural ists :—Rev. Andrew Bloxam, Rev. R. P. Alington, Edward Blythe, Esq., Rev. \V. T. Bree, J. C. Dale, Esq., A.M. F. L. S., Edwin Lees, Esq., F. L. S., M.E.S.L., William M'Gillwrav, Esq., A.M., F.R.S.E., M.W.S., Beverley R. Morris, - Esq., Rev. F ranc i s Or pen Morris, Robert Mudie, Esq., Peter Rylands, Esq., J. D. Salmon, Esq., Prideaux John Selby, Esq., F.R.S.E., F.L.S., Neville Wood, Esq., besides several short papers by other naturalists which will be found to possess great interest. The general plan of the work is excellent, and it contains a happy mixture of scientific and popular matter, suitable to the tastes of all readers. The articles, whenever it is requisite, are illustrated by excellent engravings on Indian paper, by Branston, whose name is at once a guarantee for their superiority. The numbers contain fifty-six pages of letter-press, large-sized octavo, and come out monthly. The work is dedicated to Edwin Lees, Esq. of Wor cester, as a just tribute for the many excellent papers with which he has enriched the present volume. Those entitled "The Naturalist Abroad; or, Days in the Woods and Fields," will, we are certain, afford plea sure to all who may peruse them. On the " Decrease of the Oak in Great Britain," by J. E. Davies, Esq., should be read by all those who feel an interest in the "wooden walls of Old England." If we had space we should like to transfer a portion to our columns. We hope to be able at some future time to give a few ex tracts from the monthly numbers of this periodical. The reviews of new works, by the editor, are praise worthy for the candid manner in which they are writ ten. Before closing our notice we think it right to mention a list of plants collected in the neighbourhood of Liverpool, by Mr. T. B. Hall, which must prove useful to any resident botanists. The writer appears to have paid particular attention to the plants growing on the Cheshire shore. . Parbury's Oriental Herald and Colonial Intelligencer. July, 1838. Well does this spirited periodical answer to its title: it contains a very "faithful digest of such information as must be considered generally interesting from the British Indian Presidencies and the Eastern Nations." The mass of intelligence which it furnishes from month to month is truly astonishing, and must be of the greatest value to the merchant, the politician, the statist, the scholar, and the naval and military profes sion. The present number contains several excellent papers, among which we may enumerate those on "The Application of British Capital to the Agricul tural Resources of India"—The East India Voyager— the Civil Service"—"The Biography of Dr. John Grant," (with portrait,)—" The Hindi and Hindoo stanee Languages" —and on " Steam Communication with India." The miscellaneous department is ex tremely well arranged and interesting, abounding with short historical anecdotes, and presenting a faithful synopsis of general news. The index is very copious, and will be found of great utility to those who have relatives in the East Indies, as every name occurring in the half-yearly volume is alßhabetically classed, which affords great facility of reference. CON7'EMPORAR Y . PRESS. THE CHURCH—ITS FRIENDS AND ITS ENEMIES. 7 (From the Morning herald.) There is one important circumstance relating to the present administration which mustexcite the suspicion of every good man, and give Oise to well-founded alarm in the mind of every sagacious politician. The circumstance we allude to is simply this, that the in fluential friends of the administration are the perse vering enemies of the established church. No intel ligent man, whatever his religious opinions may be, can avoid the conclusion as a politician, that this dis location of the frame and order of British government must be fraught with danger. No man of forethought can doubt that the continuance of such a strange dis cord in the course of British polity mustproduce weak ness and confusion, and eventually, revolution. Even they who are unfriendly .to the church esta blishment—as doubtless a very numerous body of dis-- senters are—cannot believe that the conductors of the government are faithful to the established principles of the monarchy, when they earn the applause and sup port of the enemies of the church. They may believe that the. ministers are conducting the government upon a Plan which is better than the old plan of the British monarchy, identified as that monarchy is with the Protestant Established Church ; but they must be, lieve, at the same time that it is not honest for men who profess to be faithful to the monarchy, to govern as if that monarchy had been revolutionised, and to allow influences to prevail which are hostile to an es tablishment essential to the constitutional throne of these realms. _ We conclude from this, that while the enemies of the established church support the government, they are very far from having any esteem for those who conduct it. They look upon them either as weak and dull men, who are unconscious of what they are doing, or as men who are doing one thing while they hold power upon trust that they will do another. In either case, the political danger arising therefrom i s very great. If the friends of the government be persons who are merely using the governors as a temporarymay be m a d e co „ eni. eace,"for the sake of the evil which they the instruments of inflicting upon the i nst i tutions which they are by their situations bound to defend, the storm will be found to burst as soon as these raj_ nisters have served their turn, and the strength ac quired from their weakness will be mercilessly used against the betrayed and dismantled citadel of " church and state." We must repeat that even they who t hink the phrase of " c h urc h an d s t ate " an o ff e nce, signifying a combination which was unwi s e in its origin, and as opposed to " the spirit of the age," must still, if they speak the t ru th, a d m i t t h at, accor di ng to the British constitution, church and state is combined, and that the minister of state who knowingly permits injury to be done to the church betrays his trust. A man who is not a servant of the state may honestly contend for revolution, if be does so within the limits of public ar gument permitted by the law; but the trusted and paid servant of the British monarchy cannot be a party to any attack on the combined political fabric of church and state, without thereby acknowledging that he is either devoid of sense or devoid of honesty. Now, the instances are not few in which it might be shown that the members of the present government directly and unblushingly abandon the church, and, upon the pretext that, under all the circumstances, they cannot help it, join their exertions (such as they are) to the exertions of the declared and notable adversa ries of the establishment. But that which, perhaps, makes a more general, though not cn each occasion so marked an impression, is the language of the public journals which support the administration, and are un derstood to be in some way or another influenced in the expression of their opinions, by the views and sen tinierrorwirtetrprevnttemoug the - mlnlsters themselves. In these journals the most laboured praises of the ad ministration, and the bitterest vituperation of the es tablished church, are continually to be found mixed up together, as if on purpose to disgust and offend all lovers of the constitutional - harmony which ought. to subsist between the civil government and the ecciesi.. astical institutions of the nation. From such publica tions nothing but discord can ultimately flow. Such are the habits of the people of this country, that they judge of the principles and intentions of government far more from the journals which espouse its cause, than from any other ground upon which a judgment might be formed. The friends of the constitutional monarchy, therefore, who read the libels that every day are poured forth from the ministerial journals, na turally lose all confiden ce i n t h ose w h o now conduct the government, and are filled with indignation, not merely at the miserable error of the policy which it appears to them the ministers have espoused, but at the base betrayal of duty which the desertion of the church by the ministers of the crown appears to them to involve. On the other hand, they who are by these journals influenced to think favourably of the measures of the government, are, at the same time, fed with fresh fuel of acrimonious hatred towards the church, and become more confirmed in the habit of regarding the government as beneficial and salutary in propor tion as it weakens and undermines the union between church and state, which, in consequence of the nature of the bond between ministers, the crown, and the people, no government can honestly do. Hence there comes a confusion of distrust, dismay, rancour, and wrong, wholly subversive of the political tranquillity and happiness of the nation. And though the persons whose principles are most offended, and whose alarm is most excited under the present order of things, be not of that class who make known their grievances in the clamour of public meetings, or in the angry essays of party newspapers; yet it is not less true that dis turbance and anxiety are the wretched results of the anomalous and dishonest system of government which now prevails. A monarchy with democratic ministers, a Protestant monarchy, whose government is ruled over by a Romanist enemy of the Protestant esta blishment, is a monster in political combination, and cannot come to good. THE VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLE. (From the Lincoln Standard ) Amongst the estimates voted on Monday night, we find, as usual, a sum of money granted for dissenting ministers, who, it appears, very gladly received it, notwithstanding their theoretical notions about the voluntary principle and the unlawfulness of state grants for religious purposes, and in spite of the grumbling of the leading dissenting agitat ors w h o find it rather annoying to have the reception of this government grant thrown in their teeth, when they are advocating their foolish system, a mere rope of sand. With the voluntarieS, however, as with other unprincipled men, theory is one thing, and practice quite another. And we should not like to give these voluntary gentry an opportunity of quietly slipping into the various pieces of church preferment, because we know how much they feel the evils of their own system, and envy the advantages and blessings of ours. But the best of the joke was to hear O'Connell say, that "he would de cidedly vote against the grant, and in doing so, he would vindicate his uniform advocacy of the voluntary principle." With what face even this lying Papist can stand up before any company of intelligent beings and talk of his "uniform advocacy of the voluntary system" we cannot conceive, for it was only the other night, when this identical O'Connell,this very Daniel himself, asked the government to give a portion of the Irish church property, which he has a hundred times designated state property, to Irish Papists for spiritual purposes— yes, for spiritual purposes. Is this " uni form advocacy of the voluntary system It is Popish uniformity, no doubt, for O'Connell knows well that public money is regularly granted to the building of Popish mass-houses in 'lreland, besides the grant of Mavnooth, and the salaries regularly paid to the Po pish bishops and priests which curse our colonies. A POPISH VERSION OF SCRIPTURE. ( From the Dublin Record.) In the year 1686, the New Testament was translated into French by the "divines of Louvain," and the translation was made with the sanction and approba tion of Louis, Archbishop of Bourdeaux. The work was executed in so accommodating a manner, that a Roman Catholic might find in it explicit statements of the peculiar tenets of his church. A few quotations will, at once, illustrate our position:— , In the summary of "contents" of Matt. xxvi., Mark xiv., and Luke xxii., it is said that these chapters contain an account of the "Institution of the Mass" !! ! Acts xiii. 2 is thus rendered : "As they offered to the Lord the sacrifice of the Mass, and fasted," &c. In Acts xi. 30, and other places, "Elders" is rendered " Priests." Luke ii. 41 is rendered: "And his father and mother went every year in pilgrimage to Jerusalem." "'tradition" is thus introduced, 1 Cor. xi. 2: " Ye keep my commandments, as I left them with you by tradition." 1 Cor. vii. 10: "To those who are joined together in the sacrament of marriage, I command," &c. 2 Cor. vi. 14: " Do not join yourselves in the sacrament of marriage with unbelievers." Hebrews xiii. 16: " We obtain merit towards God by such sacrifices." " Purgatory" could not be introduced but by a direct interpolation. 1 Cor. iii. 15: "He himself shall be saved, yet in all cases as by the fire of purgatory." Luke iv. 3: " Him only shalt thou serve with Latria." Heb. xi. 30: " After a procession of seven days round it." 2 Peter iii. 17 : " Beware, lest being led away with others, by the error of the wicked heretics," &c. 1 John v. 17 : " There is some sin which is not mortal but venial." , . Rev. iv. 4: "And round about the throne there were 2- thrones, and on the thrones 24 priests seated, all clothed witl albs." But the most barefaced interpolation occurs in Tim. iv. 1-3: " Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some will separate themselves from the Roman faith; giving themselves up to spirits of error, and to doctrines taught by devils; speaking false things through hypocrisy, having also-the conscience cauterised; condemning the sacra ment of marriage, the abstinence from meats," B.:c. The late learned Bishop of Ferns makes the follow ing just remark, in reference to this abominable trans lation: " We recollect," says his lordship, " that the edict of Nantes was repealed in 1685. Mr. Charles Butler (a Papist) . in his Reminiscences, has stated that Louis XIV. caused 0,000 Testaments to be printed at that time, for the• use of the Huguenots. This fact augments to the utmost the guilt of corruptions such as those which I have stated." The bishop adds, that— " Copies of this infamous produption of bigotry and fraud are preserved in the library of The Duke of Sussex, in the Bodleian, in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, and in Marsh's Library, Dublin." Here we have no bad specimen of the frauds which lie at the door of the Church of Rome, and which would, no doubt, be renewed and multiplied in this country, if the cheat could be practised with impunity. The vigilance of Protestantism operates as a check to such unhallowed proceedings; but we cannot too often remind members of the reformed faith, that Po pery, in spirit and principle, has undergone no change, and that although the " Beast" is in some degree un: der control, yet whenever a fit opportunity occurs, all the abominations of the dark ages will be revived, and the thunders of the Vatican will roar with increased animosity, strength, and vigour. " Naturam expellas furca, (amen usgue recurret." Let Protestants, then, to whom are "committed the oracles of God," and who are blessed with a pure translation of the Scriptures, not only appreciate this heavenly gift themselves, but use every energy for its circulation throughout the length and breadth of our land. We have reason to believe that both the Eng lish and the Irish Bible have, with God's blessing, dispelled the darkness of Popery from the minds of many of our countrymen; and we look upon - this inte resting fact as a happy omen for good. The Lord .of Hosts is with them who love and read their Bible, and He will not fail to give strength to those who, being taught of God that "it is good to be zealously affected in a good thing," wage incessant war against sin, er ror, idolatry, and superstition. HORRID DEATH-THE.WHIG POOR LAW, The past week has added another victim to the appalling list of legalized murders perpetrated under the sanction of the Whig Poor Law Amendment Act, and the Town of New castle has been the scene of the atrocious deed. We shall not enlist the feelings of our readers in the cause further than the simple narrative of the facts stated by the witnesses on the inquest warrants—these facts supply a commentary on the abominable system which will sink deep into the hearts of thousands. The deceased was an old woman between seventy and eiahty years of aye; her name was Elizabeth Graham; and she had for some time procured a precarious and scanty subsistence by selling threads and tapes which she carried in a basket. The extent of her means from this source must have been extremely small, and the wonder to us is huw she con trived to survive the severe and protracted winter which has just passed. She was found by a policeman on duty lying on her side in a coal-house, and it would appear from the evidence of one of the witnesses that Mr. Robins, the keeper of the Mendicity office, to whom she was in the first instance taken, "had often been bothered with her" but he had never relieved her "evenjbr a single night!!" She was thence taken to St. Nicholas' Workhouse where it was found that she was not un known to the keeper, Mr. Rutherford, who it appears bad, in the morhadkept given her pocket some bread, which being unable to eat she in h er all day, and it was found there the eer Workhouse, the tb h u e th W e h h ig P had refused a t w o , admit be stated, itherinto having deprivede hint of all di scre ti onary power . The consequence was that the poor old woman was taken to the police st a ti on i n the Manors where she was put into a cell and•there suff ere d to remain till death put an end to her sufferings. Our hearts swbll at the r ec it a l o f h er woes, an d over her bier w e wou l d join • the heads of the promoters andn tiprayer of vengeance on advocates nfte of h a system so re pugnant to every generous feeling individual has for as well as so contrary to the right which every support in the community where Providence has thought fi to place him. From the evidence of the surgeon it appeared she had been afflicted with a cancerous disease, which was sufficient to account for death; he was therefore of opinion that she bad not died of hunger. The jury, after consulta tion returned a verdict to the following effect :—We find an unanimous verdict of "died by the visitation of God;" but we unanimously regret that no better provision is made for people who are fou-nci-uut place, rtheseh whether t r those circumstances.who have Aid the firs beg to suggest, in the w care of the poor-houses might not be induced to act with more kindness to people who are so absolutely destitute that they might die as they are passing through the streets. And, secondly, whether it was proper in this place (the police sta tion) to put a woman, in a dying state, into a cell, to die as a dog, without other provision being made for her than for those who are brought in as prisoners, saving the attention which was afforded her by the policemen themselves.—New castle Journal. A B ference between the diet of the ancients and that of us moderns is very striking. The ancient Greeks and Romans used no alcoholic liquor, it being unknown to them; nor coffee, nor tea, nor chocolate, nor sugar, nor even butter ; for Galen informs us he had seen butter but once in his life. They were ignorant of the greater number of our tropical spices, as clove, nutmeg, mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper, curry, pimento. They used neither buckwheat, nor French beans, nor spinach, nor sago, tapioca, salep, arrow-root, nor potato, or its varieties; nor even the common, but a sort of marsh grown, bean ; nor many of our fruits, as the orange, tama rind, nor American maize. On the other hand, they ate sub stances which we now neglect—the mallow, the herb ox tongue, the sweet acorn, the lupin. They used greatly radish, lettuce, sorrel. They liked the flesh of wild asses, of little dogs, of the dormouse, o f th e fox, of the bear. Th e y ate the flesh of parroquets and other rare birds, and of liz ards. They were fond of a great ir any fish and shell-fish which we now hold in no esteem. They employed as sea; sonings, rue and assafcetida.—Dr. Dick's Diet and Regimen. MARY MORRIS, A TALE OF THE PRINCIPALITY. BY THOS. SMITH. (Concluded from our last.) " She loved not wisely, it would seem, Not wisely, but too well ; With all of youth's romantic dream, And passion's with'ring spell." PART M.—AUTUMN. How soothing to the feeling mind is autumn—sober, fading autumn—emblem of retiring life—when every dying tree that stands in the cheerless grove, nearly stripped of its foliage, and every withered leaf that falls around reminds de luded, earth-bound man of his transitory state, and that he must, ere long, leave this vain world, with its delusive joys, for ever! It was on a cheerless evening in the month of October, that the fragile form of a female was observed to glide through the entrance of a small cemetery, in the vicinity of W--. The double row of yew-trees, disturbed by the meaning autumnal breeze, cast their leaves thick and fast upon her, as she slowly passed underneath their withering branches, and bent her steps to a small hillock by the side of which she sank exhausted. The flowers that affection's hand had planted on the infant's grave, and which had smiled and fl ouris h e d f or a time were now as dead as the mouldering form they covered. The female spoke not, but she wept and moistened the narrow resting place of the lost one with tears of bitterness. Long did she remain prostrate on the earth, fur her heart was beneath the humid sward, and a holy spell seemed to bind her to the spot. Mary Morris was gradually sinking into a premature grave. Her infant had died three months after its birth; and this circumstance, together with her mournful visits to the dreary scene of cold mortality, had preyed upon her heart and undermined her health and happiness. Consump tion having at length commenced its deadly attack upon her wasted form, her father was advised by Mary's medical at tendant, as a last resource, to take her to the coast, hoping that the sea breezes, but more especially absence from the scene of her sorrows, might effect her recovery. This advice was no sooner tendered than it was accepted by Hugh Morris, and acted upon with an alacrity which be spoke but too plainly the poignant feelings of the distracted parent. He instantly communicated his intention to Edward, and entreated him to accompany them. The latter consented, and it was finally arranged that they should leave W . for the place of their destination on the following morning. __ The place Hugh Morris had fixed upon as a temporary re sidence was a beautiful romantic spot within a short distance of the sea, about twenty miles f:•oui W-, but little known, and therefore seldom visited by those persons who consider haut too of paramount importance to health. Edward Griffiths still watched over Mary with more than a brother's case. He still adored her; and when, with a melancholy pleasure, he gazed on her beloved features, he felt that, although there was au inseparable bar to their union, life would be insupportable but in her presence; she was the first, the only woman he had ever loved; and when he lost her he knew Lis heart would wither beneath the afflicting stroke. Mary was not insensible to Edward's feelings ; she re garded him as a being of a superior order; she recalled to her recollection all his kindness to herself and father—all his tenderness; she loved him, but with such love as an affection ate sister would regard a dear brother. Whenever 'her strength would allow, Mary took gentle walks with her companions on the sea-shore, On one occa sion Hugh Morris being indisposed, remained at home, and Edward and his charge sallied out together. Engaged in earnest conversation, the youthful couple rambled further than usual; and Edward remarking that Mary seemed fa tigued, led her to a bank, and spreading his cloak gently placed her on it, and sat by her side. The evening was beau tiful, although the air was rather cool; the sun was sinking amid the wide expanse of the ocean, and its golden light was dancing on the undulating waters; many vessels might be seen in the distance, with their canvass set, but they were ap parently motionless,so serene was the evening hour. After a short time Edward and his companion proceeded to return home, and as they retraced their steps the former endeavoured to divert the latter by directing her attention to the surrounding objects, and speaking of those subjects which he thought would interest her, and divert her mind from re verting to the past; but in vain. She was silent. Her eyes were stedfastly fixed on some distant object. Her agitation increased at every step. Two persons were advancing—a lady and gettleman ; the former, who was young and extremely fascinating, was lean ing on the arm of the latter; and as they conversed, the fe male would playfully look up into the face of her companion with a bewitching smile, and make some thoughtless remark. They had approached to within a short distance of Mary, whose hand trembled violently on the arm of Edward, when the lady whispered to her companion:— " What a pretty girl! Is she not, Charles ? Poor Crea ture! how pale she is! Dor,'t you think she must have been very pretty once ? " Villain !" muttered Edward, as he clenched his fist, and darted a determined glance at Mary's seducer, for it was in deed him, "cold-hearted villain !" The epithet fell disregarded on the ear of him for whom it was intended; and Marv, fearful of the con s eq uences th a t might ensue from a collision, implored Edward to convey her home. They proceeded but a few yards, when Mary, overpowered by her feelings, gradually sank into a state of insensibility ; and being unable to walk, Edward bore her in his arms to a fisherman's cot, close b% ; where, gentle resto ratives being appLed, she soon after recovered from the fainting fit, and, supported by Edward, arrived at home in due time. In accordance with Mary's request, the shock she had re cently received was carefully concealed from her father; and as the season was far advanced, and as Mary did not derive any benefit from the sea breezes, but on the contrary, was becoming worse and worse, Hugh Morris, having consulted his daughter and friend, who were also anxious, under the circumstances, to leave this place, made preparations for their return to W-, at which place they arrived shortly after wards. Days and weeks passed away, and that final moment was rapidly approaching when Marv's sorrows were to cease. Her father, too, was confined to his bed with a virulent fever, occasioned by excessive anxiety and overw•alching at the bedside of his daughter. He lay in en adjoining room to that of Mary's, and the last hour of his dying child was dis turbed by his incoherent ravings. The attention of Edward was divided between the two. He soothed the Pillow of affliction with the voice of tenderness. At length the moment of Mary's deliverance—so mourn fully anticipated by all who knew her—arrived. Many of those friends who had known her in happier days were stand ing at her bedside, and deep, not loud, was the grief of every oafs. The dying girl feebly waved her hand, as a token of peace to all around; and shortly after passed from a gentle slum ber into the still more peaceful sleep of death without a mu rtn or. Scarcely had the released soul taken its flight, ere the chamber door opened, and a half-dressed, ghastly-looking, oh joet tottered into the room. It was Hugh Mullis. Gazing wildly round the room he muttered—. "Where is my daughter ?—where is Mary ?—Alas! I thought she was dead ! hut 'twas a dream—a delusion!" Suddenly his eves wandered to the object he was in quest 'o(, and, with a violent effort, he staggered to the bed, and threw himself across the inanimate form of his child; " Mary, my poor ' said the wretched old man, as h e raised the b o dy i n his arms ; " I have found'thee at last ! They wanted to pat t as, child, bat they shall not ! We will live and die together!" " You do not speak to me, Mary," continued he, after a pause, " but you are fatigued with our long, long journey; and so atn 1. Then let us repose awhile; and when we awake we shall be better—much better." The old man sunk exhaustel on the death-bed of his daughter. In a state of unconsciousness he was removed to his chamber. All, save one, quitted the apartment. Edward Griffiths gazed for some minutes on the faded flower of his affection, while tear after tear trickled down his manly cheeks. lie imprinted a last fond kiss on the cold pale cheek, and with a breaking heart, he slowly retired from the chamber of death. PART IV.—WINTER. Winter! winter! thou hoary sire of seasons ! Clad in thine icy dress and locks of snow, thou makest the most of thy brief reign, and scattereth thy benumbing influence around the earth. Scenes which a short time since were clothed with verdure, and exhaled fragrance, are now by thee made dear and desolate—covered with ice and snow ; vegetation seems dead, the whole face of nature a barren wild; and the solitary wanderer pursues his cheerless and uncertain way, over bill and dale, bereft of those useful land-marks which should guide his uneven steps. Eleven years had elapsed since the death of Mary Morris; Edward, too, was dead. He did not long survive the iIIUI of his misplaced affections; and he now reposed in death with her, whom in life be had so fondly loved, in the churchyard of W--. Hugh still existed, a feeble old man, imbecile in mind. When he lost his daughter, the last ray of happiness fled from his heart, and be became a gloomy misanthrope. His busi ness was neglected; from comparative affluence be gradually sunk into poverty; and eventua lly became dependent upon others for a scanty pittance. With a gloomy reserve he avoided those persons with whom he had formerly been on terms of intimacy; and seldom emerged limn his retired lodg ing, except at night ; and then, when silence reigned around, and all was peace, save in his own breast, he would visit his beloved daughter's grave, and remain there until the morn ing's dawn warned him to depart. It was the eve of Christmas, and a gloomy evening it was! The good folks of W were making preparations fur the ensuing holiday; a heavy fall of snow had taken place, and the wind' howled fearfully at intervals. As the night advan ced the scene became more cheerless. The inhabitants had retired to rest; the town was in total darkness, the street lights having been extinguished by the wind, which had drift ed the snow in heaps as high as the shop windows. The tombs and grave-stones in the churchyard were nearly cover , ed ; flakes of the congealed element rested on the tower, the pinnacles, the roof, and the abutments of the gothic church, and gave it altogether a fantastical, yet noble appearance. And it was then, when the hour of midnight sounded from the snow clad edifice, and as each solemn stroke, aided by the wind, which had now settled down into a moan, reverberated through the place, that two wretched men met by accident in the church-yard. The clouds broke away, and the moon flung her sickly beams around ; the men saw each other, and they knew each other; and there was a struggle for life and mas tery—there was a groan, and again all was still. The morn of Christmas 'broke upon the town of W--. The sun peeped forth, and began to dissolve the'vast heaps of snow; and as the thaw proceeded a stiffened corpse was discovered beneath a grave -stone. It was identified as the body of Hugh Morris! Early the sanie morning, a messenger arrived in W— from a distant village, bearing a letter directed to the autho rities of the town, He stated that he was servantat at an inn in the village; that early in the morning a gentleman had arrived at that place, and had requested to be accommodated With a privete apartment; that shortly afterwards he had called for writing materials. The young man also stated, that the report of a pistol was heard, and he was one of the t n first to ent er th e gent l eman ' s room, where he beheld the latter lying on the floo r , we lt er i ng i n his blood; the weapon was in saceichteedhaasd los his hand, an d h e appeared to be dead. Medical assistance was procu re d as soon as possible, but to no effect. A letter, directed ;,bore,o timewa forwarding s l y gon th eta it e to table; and its the - destinationmessenger. The contents kit the letter were as follows : " An unhappy fate aw a it s t h e writer of the following lines —the death o f - a suicide! But ere he quits this world he would wish to relieve his conscience of one dreadful burthen. " Last night a -murder was committed in your town. An old man was the victim; and I—l, alas ! was the murderer ! " But I would fain rescue my memory from the withering imputation of being an assassin; and in order to effect this, I will briefly retrace the latter years of my life. _ " I. the i t wallas Juisfee..rstar.tawai— an'fie eabd - of a utiiiy - of troops, caned in for the purpose of quelling a riot; and there I became acquainted with a young and gentle creature, blooming as the rose, and pu re as th e spotless lily, or th e unsulli e d s snow on the mountain-top. Suffice it to say, I won her love and confidence, and, villain that I was! I betrayed her ! but not before I had perjured my soul with oft-repeated vows of lasting attachment. "The duty for which we had been summoned to W— having,been performed, we quitted your town. Some months afterwards I formed an acquaintance with a lady, who shortly afterwards became my wife. In due time she was a mother, but it was at the sacrifice of her life; she died, and the child soon followed her. I did not grieve; on the contrary, I was inwardly gratified at the thought of being released from a tie which had become intolerable. The image of that poor girl whom I had deserted was constantly before me, silently re proaching me for my heartless conduct. I hastened to seek her, with a determination to make all the reparation that her wounded honour could demand. But, alas ! I was told that she was dead! I visited her grave, and was satisfied, indeed, that she . was far beyond the miseries of this world! And then I plunged into every excess of pleasure to drown the recollection of the past. "At this time our regiment was ordered on foreign service. I left my native country. Years rolled onward. I gained laurels; but I was still unhappy. A t length I returned home —home did I say ! Scarcely had I landed on my native shore, when 1 recommenced my old pursuits, and launched into greater extravagances than I had ever done before. In a moment of desperation I entered one of those sinks of infamy —a gambling-house—in the vain hope of retrieving my ruined fortunes. In a word, I lost all I possessed—even my commission. I loathed life ! "A short time since, at the solemn hour of midnight, I entered the churchyard of W-; gloom was around me and on my heart! In the darkness 1 stumbled over a pros trate form. The moon threw forth her light, and discovered to me the features of Hugh Morris! Twice did the old matt rush on me with a murderous intention, and twice did I throw him from me. Ile fell to the earth. He was motionless. Wretch that I was! I had killed the fattier at the grave of his daughter! I fled. "I am now on the brink of a fearful precipice ! Ere you receive this the world will have closed upon the miseries of the unfortunate .6 And such was the end of this misguided man ! He fell a victim to his uncontrolled passions ;—he rid society of a pest, yet his country lost one of its bravest officers. The remains of Hugh Morris now mingle with the dust of Mary and Edward. A plain white slab marks the spot where they rest; but their memory is cherished, by those who knew their virtues, with a fond and fervent recollection. SELECT EXTRACTS. The Spaniards, in allusion to the profusion with which dis tinctions are now conferred upon worthless persons, say that "formerly rogues were hung on crosses, but thatnow crosses are hung on rogues." "Thunder," observes Sir John Herschel, "can scarcely ever be heard more than 20 or 30 miles from the flash which produces it. Lightning, on the other hand, may be seen (or at least its reflection in the clouds, forming what is called sheet lightning) at the distance of 150 or 200 miles." PLEASURES OF SHOPPING. — One of the most vexatious processes, as far as we are aware, to which a man can be subjected, is to have to accompany a lady on a shopping ex cursion. It must of course be presumed that the gentleman and lady are not lovers, foi then the complexion of the case is totally changed. But suppose it be a cool sensible man of some thirty-five or forty, accompanying a wife to whom he has been united for the better part of a dozen years—then is the case truly one of torment. In the first place begets ready exactly at the time appointed, and has to wait half an hour before she is ready to appear. This time he spends in a state of ineffable fume and fret, with umbrella in hand and coat buttoned, dancing between the lobby and the parlour, send ing to see if she is not ready yet, calculating how he could have employed the time otherwise to the advantage of his pa trimonial interest, stamping to keep his feet warm, as he thinks, brushin ,, his bat for the fifth time, comparing his watch with the lobby clock, threatening not to wait any longer, and vowing he will never engage to go with her again. At last she comes down stairs, with all the coolness imaginable, wondering how he could be so impatient; and off they set. The matters of business in which he is mainly interested re fer to shops in distant parts of the town; and in proceeding thither he has to accompany her into others, where she has affairs to manage, in which she is not interested at all. She has a certain kind of ribbon to buy in one shop, a certain piece of lace to be matched in another, a pair of silk .mits to be got in a third—all of them affairs of the greatest im portance to her, requiring full time for deliberation, choice, and chaffering, and to the details of which he is forced to be witness, as well as to the sufferings of the unfortunate fellow man whom Providence has ordained to stand from morning to night in those magazines of feminine evanescences, to be bored with female frivolity and unpleasableness. A full quarter of an hour is spent in each spot, during which some twenty drawers and as many shelves are ransacked and tumbled into confusion; an incessant chatter has been kept up ; he has been kept fretting between the chair at the end of the counter and the door, and the shopkeeper has exhausted every phrase of recommendation in behalf of his goods, and every phrase of civility in deference to the lady • when, at last, he sees some such sum as 10d. paid for a trifle wrapped up in thin white impel, and leaves the place with the feeling of a man who has been party to one of the shabbiest transac tions that ever was committed. Thus he goes on for an hour or two, his only choice being between lingering within the shop, there to be inculpated in such disgraceful doings as these, and lounging with out, t h ere to b e j ostled by the crowd and lined by the damp pavement, till he has not a spark of manly dignity or vigour left in his composition. And, after all, the affairs in which he is really interested have yet to be attended to. At the conclusion of the business, it is likely he finds, that, left to himself, he could have executed in half an hour what, in company with a i ime-destroying wife, it has cost him the better part of the day to accomplish. As to wear and tear of temper, the matter is too metaphysical to bear calculation ; but every man who has ever gone a shopping in such circumstances must have a perfect idea of it; and he who has not, let him content himself with supposing it to be great, and not think of putting the thing to proof—a piece of conduct of which we could only say, that, compared with it, that of the boy who hanged himself to see what hanging was like was legitimate and philosophical curiosity.—Cliambers's Journal. HAIRBRAINED EXPLOI T AT THE CHURCH OF STRETER'S ROME.—Around the chinch, at the spring of the roof, is a broad cornice, and Rocbow and I amused ourselves, and hor -rifled Landou and 1..)u Tetre, by leaping across the chasms formed by the cornices of the pilasters. Upon arriving at the top of• the " lantern," on which is the. ball and cross, we mounted the little iron ladder that turns under the ball like the " fetlock shrowds" of a ship's top, and got to stand upon the ball. The French had placed there a lightning con ductor, rising about ten feet above the summit of the cross, to which it is attached by stron g screw staples. By means of this rod (nearly two inches in diameter) we got upon the cross top, and then I " swarmed" myself up the conductor, so as to embrace with my thighs a flange which, at two feet from the p o int, receives four thick wire stays attached to the ball below. In this position, my head was actually two feet above the golden point of the conductor. The wind, being very high, caused me •to sway from side to side, in a manner unpleasant to behold, while l-lullmandel, Landoll, and Ro chow were standing under me, on the arms of the cross. They all three resolved upon taking toy place; se, after attaching with copper wile to the point of the conductor a little leaden plate, with our names engraved thereon, and a ribbon six yards long, I descended to the cross, and my com rades, each in succession, swarmed up to the top of the con ductor. The sight of so singular a performance had attracted a crowd of people iu the grand square before the church; and the chief custode, ,or church•keeper thought, that something strange and treasonable was performing. The long ribbon he took to be a signal to the enemy's ships that might be ou the, coast, only twelve miles distant; in fine, he did not know what to make of us, so forthwith he sent for a police-officer, who came with a file of soldiers, and waited for our descending to the door of the stairs that opens into the church. Arrived at this door, it was opened by th e prudent custode, when we were received by the soldiers with fixed bayonets, very much to our surprise, and to the bewilderment and terror of a Ger man and two ltalans, perfect strangers to as, but who happen ed to be descending the church at the same time. The anxiety of these gentlemen to make our captors believe that they had nothing to . do With the " conspiracy," made us laugh so heartily as to leave us little power of speech to per suade the police-officer of the truth of their vehement assertions.—Colonel irlacerones Memoirs.. DIVING FOIL PEAFILs.—The crew of a boat consists of a Tindal or master, ten divers, and thirteen other men who manage the boat, and attend the divers when fishing. Each boat has five diving stones (the ten divers relieving each other); five divers are constantly at work during the hours of fishing. The weight of the diving stone varies from 15 to 25 lb., according to the size of the diver; some stout men find it necessary to have from 4 to 8 lb. of stone in a waist belt, tb enable itiem to keep at the bottom of the sea, to fill their net with oysters. The form of a diving stone resem bles the cone of a pine; it is suspended by a double cord. The net is of coir-rope yarns, 18 inches deep, fastened to a hOop 18 inches wide, fairly slung to a single cord. On pre paring to commence fishing, the diver divests himself of all his clothes, except a small piece of cloth; after offering up his devotions, he plunges into the sea, and swims to his diving stone, which his attendants have slung over the side of the boat; he places his right foot or toes between the dothle cord on the diving stone—the bight of the cord being passed over a stick projecting from the side of the boat; by grasping all parts of the rope he is enabled to support himself and the stone, and raise or lower the latter for his own convenience while he remains at the surface; he then puts his left foot on the hoop of the net, and presses it against the diving .stone, retaining the cord in his hand. The attendants take care that the cords are clear for running out of the boat. The diver being thus prepared, he raises his body as much as he is able; drawing a full breath, he presses his nostrils between his thumb and finger, slips his hold of the bight of the diving stone, and descends as rapidly as the stone will sink him. On reaching the bottom be abandons the stone, which is hauled up by the attendants ready to take him down again, clings to the ground, and.commences filling his net. To accomplish this, he will sometimes creep over a space of eight or ten fathoms, and remain under water a minute; when he wishes to ascend, he checks the cord of the net, which is instantly felt by the attendants, who commence pulling up as fast as.they are able. The diver remains with • the net until it is so far clear of the bottom-as to be in no danger of upsetting, and "then begins to haul himself up by the cord band over hand, which the attendants are likewise Pulling. When by these means his body has acquired an impetus upwards, he forsakes the cord, places his hands to his thighs, rapidly ascends to the surface, swims to his diving stone, and by the time the contents of his net have been emptied into the boat, he is ready to go down again. One diver will take up in a day from 1,600 to 4,000 oysters. They seldom exceed a minute under water; the more common time is from fifty-three to fifty-seven seconds; but when re quested to remain as long as possible, they can prolong their stay to something m ore than eighty seconds. They are ' warned to ascend by a singing noise in the ears, and finally by a sensation similar to hiccup.—Ruschenberger's Voyage round the •World.—[The divers have much faith in the powers of the shark-charmer, and many of then will not descend unless be be present; the worthy wizard is therefore paid by government, and inspires at least as much confidence in the divers as terror in the sharks. One-fourth of the oysters taken up belong to the divers; the remainder are disposed of by public' sale. The annual net revenue derived from the pearl'fishery it estimated at £14,000; but in 1833, when no less than 1,250 divers were employed, it amounted to more than £2s,ooo.—Athenauml MARSHAL. SOULT,—We have much pleasure in quoting, from Colonel Napier's "History of the Peninsular War," a most interesting and seasonable anecdote. Brave and high hearted men are brothers everywhere, to whatever country they may chance to belong ; and it is not now for the first time, while grateful for the cordial hospitality of England, that Napoleon's great marshal has shown a noble and con ' siderate respect for the British name :—" When the French renewed the attack at Elvina, he [Colonel Napier is speak ing of his elder brother] was, with a few men, somewhat in advance of the village; for the troops were broken into small parties by the vineyard walls and narrow lanes. Being hurt, he endeavoured to return; but the enemy coming down, he was stabbed, and thrown to the ground with five wounds; and death appeared inevitable, when a French drummer rescued him from his assailants, and placed him behind a wall. A soldier with whom he had been struggling, irritated to ferocity, returned to kill him, but was prevented by the drummer. The morning after the battle th e D u k e of Dal matia, being apprised of Major Napier's situation, had him conveyed to good quarters, and, with a kindness and consider ation very uncommon, wrote to Napoleon, desiring that his prisoner might not be sent to France, which (from the system of refusing exchanges) would have been destruction to his ,professional prospects. The marshal also obtained for the ~..••••aa-v. • Imo - •ws . ITITI avi tarrnou lcrsie CIT Ititer E, of the war obli ge d S ou l t to depart in a few days from Corun na, but he recommended Major Napier to the attention of Mar shal Ney; and that marshal also treated his prisoner with the kindness of a friend rather than the rigour of au enemy, for he quartered him with the French consul, supplied him with money, gave him a general invitation to his house on all public occasions, and refrained from sending him from France. Nor did Marshal Ney's kindness stop there ; for when the flag of truce arrived, and that he became acquainted with the situation of Major Napier's family, he suddenly waived all forms, and, instead of answering the inquiry by a cold inti mation of his captive's existence, sent him, and with hi m the few English pri s oners take n i n t h e battle, at once to Eng land, merely demanding that none should serve until regu larly exchanged. I should not have dwelt thus long upon the private adventures of an officer, but that gratitude demands a public acknowledgment of such generosity, and the demand is rendered imperative by the after misfortunes of Marshal Ney. The fate of that brave and nobleminded man is well known. He who had fought five hundred battles for France, not one against her, was shot as a traitor 1" Vrootio Erttereb for koaZting, (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.) WEST INDIES AND MADEIRA.

LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 17. Since Tuesday last we have had too much rain, and very little sunshine in this district—impeding Haymaking, and causing th e crops of Grai n , p art i cu l ar l y of Wheat, to shoot too much into straw ; and having had very trivial imports, with diminished stocks of Wheat, there has been a more active demand for this article and for Flour, and sales to a fair extent have been made of both, at fully our last quotations, which in some instances, in proportion to qualities, have been a little exceeded. There has also been a better demand for Oats and Oatmeal, but at do advance, though so much below their proportionate value—the consumption thereof appears very much diminished ; for all other kinds of Grain sales have been very trivial, at about last quotations, here, and in all the Lancashire and Yorkshire markets.—The duties on Grain from Foreign ports are this week decreased is 3d per quarter on Peas, is 6d per quarter on Rye, is per quarter on Wheat, and 71d per barrel on .'lour, and on these two last mentioned articles the du ties will experience a further similar reduction next Friday. Wheat in bond, of good quality, has again become an object of active speculation, and many cargoes here, and on the passage, have changed hands sine this day week, at fully our last quoted prices, and in some few instances, for very superior qualities, at a small advance ; for all other kinds of bonded Grain there has been only a very limited demand at about last quotations, and which in some instances, for superior qualities, have been a little exceeded.
