Tell me, ye brightly-burning orbs of uight, Now shining down on our terrestrial sphere, if to your realms the SPIRIT takes it flight "'Wen it thro . ws off it mortal covering, here? t Aes it take wing a nd t o th e s ki es aspire, And breathe fhrth songs in heaven to some melodiputlyre ? Tell me, fair moon, that sails't in mther's space, ,Art THOU some vrocld, .peopled with creatures free, Where sundered spirits shalt meet face to fare, Lifting the veil of immortality ? Shall we TREE Know, ev'n as on earth we're known, And shall affection clasp hearts made again its own ? ,_ • Tell me, ye clouds, that o'er tne azure heaven, Float like the streamers of some bridal vest, When, by the breeze of midnight,, ye are driven,— ' Say, do ye canopy someplace of.rest, Some peaceful bourne to which the.spirit To join the lost of earth and re-unite its ties ? Ye CANNOT answer ! and it is not meet Such mysteries should be solv'd by us. Why should man, With. blinded gaze and travel-wearied feet, Attempt to penetrate what angels scan With heavenly eyes but dimly ?—let him bend, Adoring what nor sense nor sight can comprehend ! LITERARY .NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. ..11Urch, 18 3 8. This number opens with a very , elaborate article on the subject of ".The Practical Working of Trades' Unions," in which the ritischievoui tendency of illegal combinations is most clearly and satiSfactority demon . - Strated; and in which the recent trial of the Plasgow Cottrin`-spinners is canlldly examined. Due remedies which the writer suggests for the evils engendered by trades' unions are, the establishment of a powerful arid well: organised police force irrall the manufactUring dis tricts, and an increase of the power of summary convic tinri in all cases 'Of : Combinatithi riots. " Guizot, and ;Vinto.n" is a . very able critique. 'The'sketch of " Thiers" conveys much valuable instruction. The discrimination of character which it evinces is truly astonishing. " The Picture Gallery'" is not quite as dull as formerly. "rt contains an excellent tale under the title of " Lov e first Sight ; or, Th'e Fish out of Water." " Crystals from a Cavern" are exceedingly beautiful gems of thought. The imagery in some of them is of the most .glowing deription. " Political Parallels" will be pe rused with considerable interest. " How toiaYoiAlght ing a Diet" is a very ingenious paper, abounding in -orttnal ideas. '"iCanadi and.freland" is apolitical ar ticle of great. power. The " Hymn .toV.eres" and the Stan/as. on returning from Iona" are the only poetical pipers in the present number. The former is a very spirited translation froM Callirnachris, and the latter con :tains some very happy historical allusions. " The De spatches of the Duke of Wellington" afford materials for the closing article in Blackwood, in which ample justice is done to the character of " the Duke." Fraser's Magazine. .February, 18.33. This is a very brilliant number. We' open upon. Horse 'Unica.," winch contain sonic admirable - illustra; Lions of Chinese epic and dramatic poetry.. "The Ana tomy of Gaming" is another of those exptisitions of the "Art of Cheating" from the pen of Nimrod, (Mr.' Ap-' perley.) " Half-a-crown's worth of Cheap• Knowledge", contains a review of fifteen of the cheap periodicals of: the day. This article contains many sound reflections' on the literary taste of the lower classes. There are . some very amusing and iiiquant remarks in " Captain Orlando Sabertash on Manners, Fashion, and Thin zs - in _general." His observations on " Dress" display a very. refined and gentlemanly taste. " The' Doctor" is a,s)n- : kern- rriedley,.very uninteresting to the general reader. - "",'T Can't think. how it is!" is not only an amusing but a' very instructive tale, conveying •a lesson which, if at tended to, may save many families from ruin. The' 'sketch and portrait of Sir William Molesworth are Recolleaions of our last Parish Mi tlis(er' do not altogether ,please us. We do not agree :wall'the.writer that Melville is a plagiarist. We could instance scores of passages in other authors, preseniing cloSer resemblance to each other than any of the ex- tracts . from Chalmers and Melville, which resemblance Would by no means justify the charge of literary theft. "The Yellow-plush Correspondence" this month con. tains some very dainty " Skimmings from the Dairy (if , George the Fourth." " H omer ic Pallads," by Dr. 'Magi -tin, will afford a rich treat to the classical scholar. "Murphy, the M e t e orolo g i ca l Q uac k," i s a smas hi ng ar . Mote. "The Election Petitions and the Grenville Act" 4s.a capital paper, proving to demonstration the partial; ondUbt of the whig-radical faction. blin .University ;Magazine. March, 1838. lii this number we have a larger share than usual of, poet . ry, some of whi c h i s o f a ve r y superior order. The *Mowing are the several pieces :—" Sonnet—lerne "" The Rubi—a Tale of the ,Sea i " Translati ons o f Turkish Poetiy ;" "Sonnets—by Dr. Mackenzie ;" and ,“ Sonnets—by Coul Goppagh." .The paper :ori " Lord: Mulgrave and his Special Reporters," though brief, is' extremely caustic. The continuation of " The,grphans fif .Dunasker" increases in interest.. "The Vortnnes of Sir Robert Ardigh" is a tale of much tragic interest. The paper on " Canada" is an admirable reiew of the circumstances in which the recent insurrectionoriginated. It is characterised by a very forcible style. " The Ord nance Survey" poSsesses more of local than of : general interest." " Richard the Rake—in three Snatches," is a very spirited sketch of a character which is butt too common in Ireland. The " Memoranda of the Month" contain, a variety of strictures on " Persecution. for 'Cbtrscience-sake"—" The Trades and Mr. ,O'Connell"— ."Papal ,Usurpations"—and " The State of Ireland." .On the' whole, this is a very excellent number. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine. March, 1838. This number opens with an article on " The Aboli tion Of Negro Apprenticeships," which contains some :very.strung ex parte statements, by no means entitled to implicit credit, but which we have no space for noticing in detail. " Old Aunt Anne, or the Pension List," has Sqme good points. " Politic Tactics" is very rich, but Mather uncharitable. " Sketches of Life and Manners, kora the Autobiography of an English Opium-Eater" are very- interesting. Defamation of the Famous in -famous" is very just in its remarks. " Marion Camp b4ll—a Highland Story," is well worth the price of the 14 - iagazine. The incidents are of a very exc i t i ng charac -ter. The review of the ." Diary" illustrative of t h e :limes of George 1V. , " is justly severe, though strongly tinctured with a hearty, democratic hatred of monarchy. 'The "Literary and l'olitical Registers" contain their ps9al variety of notices of recent publications and con temporaneous events. The Asiatic Journal and Illonthl . llegister for British , 'ltl B d Foreign India, China, and Australia. March, The literary articles in the present number are more varied and interesting than usual. " The Review of Eastern News" continues to give a bird's-eye view of the more 'recent events in the history of our oriental possessions. 'The short paper on " The Marquesi Wel lesley" is an admirable vindication of the character of this great man, in opposition to the animadversions of the British and Foreign Review. " Selections and Re flections" embraCe short criticisms on " Hesiod, as a Painter of Nature," and " Statius." The review of Wilkinson's " Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians" is extremely interesting to the lover of anti quarian,studies. " The V ow o f Sunjagta" is continued in the present number of the Asiatic. The translator's notes are particularly valuable. " The Persian Princes in London" is a temperate critique upon the recent work of Mr. Baillie Fraser. " The Adventures of Frank Hartley"-promise to be a very interesting tale. The " Visit to the Misbrpee Hills in Assam" contaks some very irnportant - geographical information. f‘ Desar— an Episode in the Romance of Antar," is another *peel- . men of oriental literature. The miscellaneous inform tic,o contained in. this guruher is as interesting as usual: Reminiscences from the Early Life of a Lutheran . Clergyman. .py Frederick St rauss D. D.

London: Groombridge ; Liverpool, Marples and Co., 1838: We are glad to find that this usef u l manua l () f instruc tioti has attained a Nth edition. The respected author has made considerable additions to the original work, which have materially enhanced its value as a hook of introductory LatinExerciies. • Siintilieity is the leading feature of these exercisesfeaturewhich cannot fail to recommend them to the notice of the teachers. They will also be found of great use t,o those, who are labour ing to acquire the knowledge of the Latin language without the assistance of oral instruction. - Logic in Miniature. By the . London, Groombridge, I$3S. This will be found . one of the most valuable comp,n diums of instruction on the art of reasoning that ever emanated from the press. It is truly designated " Logic in Miniature." It forms a complete inultum in idarvo of logical rules. Tbe,illustrative examples are chiefly taken from scripture. This little work might, with great pro priety, be introduced into the higher classes in schools, as an introduction to more elaborate treatises on the subject. _ . Astronomy Simplified. By a Modern Astronomer. London . : - Groombrldge, 1833. This will also be . founda . very: useful school-book." It conveys as Much instruction,Ou the subliine ,science .of astronomy as will suffice for ninety-oine outpf a hundred individuals, and,-we venture to say, more information than is'poss-,..ssed by five - out of every hundred of the po pulation of this country. The language is simple, and the illustrationi apt and . intelligible. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. APHILE AND THE IRISH EDUCATION BOARD.' (From the Morning Herald.) Another letter up on the subject of . the national edu cation system of Ireland has been addressed lo Lord John Russell by the zealous and indefatig a ble Dr. M'Hale, titular Archbishop of Tuam. We confess we cannot but adinire the diligence and zeal with which this bigoted dignitary of the ROnSish church watches over what. he Considers the interests of the religious system of which he is an appointed guar dian. We could wish that, without imitating the Irish champion of the polcy of the Vatican in his fiery into lerance of sentiment and . virulence of language,e the ap pointed guardians of the Protestant chUrch, copied him in his zeal and diligence to maintain his own system of faith and church discipline in all its integrity. The Ro. rnish bishops are seldom remiss in the vigilance that watches for, and the activity that seizes upon, every fa-: voi - irable occasion to advance the interests of their own church. The tide of popery which has been let in upon the institutions of this country by. the bill of 1829, having formed a confluent current with recreant whiggery, threatens to sweep away the foundations of our protest anrconstitution: As to the "'securities" which Welling ton and Peel provided for the protestant religion, they 'have. turned out, as all thinking people supposed they would be, mere mockeries. Dr. M'Hale will not hear of-even such protestants as Dr. WhatelY,and Mr. Car life providing instruction for Roman catholic children, and yet no less than On protestant bishops, in support ing the bill of " cithOlic • emancipation, voted for al lowing Roman catholics not only to legislate for the edu cation of protestant children, . but to legislate for the protestant church itself! Since that bill was passed ten protestant , bish9prics have been suppressed in Ireland, to every one of which Raman catholic bifrhops keep up their titular claim, awaiting the time when to the barren title they shall add the substantial temporalities. Dr. M'Hale says to O'Connell's truckling protegg— " Alas ! it seems to be the fate of Ireland that no plan can be devised for her improvement, whether it regards education or the relief of the poor, that is not to be con• (Inked by individuals opposed to us by religious and na tional antipathies. For the education of the youth of Ireland a board is constituted, .in.which the chief influ ence is exercised by two aliens in -reality—in religion and country—an English* protestant and a ScotCh pres byterian." Here the c l oven f oo t i s most incautiously thrpst from the jesuitical robe of the Romish ddetor. Who dOes not recollect what an infuriate outcry O'Con nell and his' party raised against Lord Lyndhurst be cause of his using the word " alien" in a manner less deSignedly offensive than that in which Dr. M'Hale has Used it ? Every English protestant and every Scot c h presbyterian is an alien in the eyes of the Archbishop of Tuam. The " Sassenach," liberal though he be, must not meddle with so sacred a thing astue education of 'llianan catholic children. In a former epistle the most rev, doctor declared,that the Pope alone must be looked to as the supreme .direc tor of the education of Irish Roman catholic children. The celebrated "appropriation clause" was to confiscate a portion of the property of the protestant chuich for the education of Roman Catholics, ,Which education, it now appears, was to have been exclusively under the direction of the Pope and Romish priesthood, in which no alien protestant or presbyterian was to be allowed to interfere. Dr. M‘Hale has demolished the whole system of Whig delusion on tiliS subject. LOSSES AT SEA. ANOTHER. WRECK AT ST. JOHN'S.—On Saturday last, at 4, o'clock, a.m.,.the American ship ,Constitution, Wilson, bourd from Liverpool to Charleston,` with a valuable cargo, was, du ring the severity of the storm; obliged to seek refuge in the harbour of Killough, wh e n Sh e struck on the rocks •near St. John's Point. The crew were resrued by boats from Killnugh, the vessel was then driven in close to the shore; and swirl after • went to pieces. A small part Only of her cargo has been saved,, with the hull of the ship, and some few of her materials. We are informed that a boat has been picked up at Newcastle, on the same coast, with a ship's name, "Alexander' Robinson; and :the master's, "Samuel Whitley, of London, painted on the stern. The continuance of .heavy gales has given rise to, alarming apprehensions respecting the piers along the coast, especially as the titles are still on the increase, and will, it is ex.! pected, continue to rise until Tuesday next. The pier at Ard tlass will be, it is feared, should the gale remain unabated, entirely swept. The battery—a kind of break Water to the pier, facing the sea—is nearly demolished by the fury of the waves. The pier-end, and part of the pier-wall •at Newcastle, are already levelled by the combined force of the storm and tide; and where the pier -end once stood, there is now nothing seen, for fifty or sixty yards, but a mingled mass of stones and' rub bish. So that, according to present appearances; there is but•' too mach likelihood that every returning tide will hurry on the work of destruction. We are also informed that a portion of the sea coast road, leading through Newcastle, has suffered greatly from the sea, and that the houses on that side of the road are thereby placed in a state of danger.—Newry Telegraph. _ . Part of a vessel was driven on shore tinder Bray Head. The sides and part of the quarter deck were picked up by the fisher men. It is supposed to be part of the Groot Lankum, bodnd for Amsterdam, %hich was abaMloned in' the Irish channel; on the 17th instant, all hands saved. WaEcx.—On the night of Sunday, the 18th instant, the schooner Douglos, of Sunderland, Parker, master, of 2711 tons, laden with grain for London, Was driven ashore on a ridge of rocks Off the island of Devilairae, in the entrance of Blacksod Bay. Immediately on hearing the occurrence, W. fl. Parker, Esq., agent to Lloyd's, proceeded to the spot, and earned thp utmost praise for himself by his prompt and cfficious exertions in re , cuing tkW crew from their perilous situation. After consi. derabie difficulty and risk they succeeded in launching Iwo country boats, through a tremendous surf, which were the means, under Providence, of saving; and lauding in security the whole of the crew, eleven in number, most of whom were previously disabled from exposure to wet and cold.—Mayo Cun slitution. STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Leeds Isttelligesecer.) LEEDS.—The improvement which we noticed last week still continues, but the late severe weather is considered as having some drawback upon the demand for goods tic having impeded the means of communication. At present, however ; the state of the weather seetn4 to indicate immediate relief in this parti cular. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods on Thursday seemed to he fully as extensive as for some time past, ) . et the sales effected did not not attain that pioportion, owing to the merchants refusing fo offer such prices as the ma,nfacturers rlerned remunerative. There was an average bitsineel done in the }arn"market, the principal*purchases tieing for immediate consumption, but several of the piece-makers'held tiff, in the hope trtat the opening of the channels of communication, by increasing. the means or supplying the raw material, would diminish the price. In the wool market ibere was, of course, very little dune, the quantity of Wool on sale being remarkably small. FIUDPEFIfiLD MARKET.The 4erparl4 for fancy Roods here on'Tuesday, was tolerably brisk, but there . }vas very little busi ness.4ope in pkin cloths atia wools. ,H ALIEAX MARKET, Fae. 21.—Business is still sufferimg from the continued severity of the weather, and we have less doing both in wool and manufactured- goods, but there is no diminution in the value of erther. The prices realised for seve ral weeks past are fully maintained. DawsauttY.—The demand for blankets at.nur Piece Hall, on Monday, was rather flat, the dullness• being generally attri buted to. the state of the wool market. The prices offered for goods, though fully equal to those recently obtained, were not •cdnituensurate with the increased cost of the raw• Material; hence the manufacturers were reluctant to effect sales. RocHnatit FraNrszt;- MARKET, Fan. 26.--There_ has been more • businessldone,in the market to-day than on the previous Monday.; and the demand for flannels; of the coarser kind, has been brisk ; bat there is no improvement in prices; indeed: it is said, that in come cases. less money has been given.; The wool market here still continues •flat ; and there appears no de sire, on the part of the manufacturers, to purchase at the pre sent prices,_ BURY. —The woollen business is improving. The, hands in iron-foundries have full work, and good wads are given.— Mechanics and machine-makers have pretty fair of work, and calico block and machine printing is a little better. LANCASHIRE SILK TRADE. — The silk we.vers have full em ployment. This week a great number of ffesh reels have been given out of almost every description. Wages contintie low, hut some masters are giving a trifle more if work is taken to the warehouse in a certain time. LErcEsTOß.—The demand for goods is flat, and we are sorry to hear that some manufacturers are turning off hands. The wool market continues in the'Same state ai for some weeks past. THit IRON TRADE.—The TiirmingJitim p,apess represent the iron trade to be in a flourishing condition, commoto bars are quoted at £9 per ton.

LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LIVERPOOL'MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON , PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. On Saturday evening Mr. John Smith delivered his second lecture upon this interesting subject, which was attended by un overti,witig audience. existence of a north-western passage has fur the last three centuries been a problem which has excited the utmost interest, not only in this but in many other commercial countries, cud accordingly numerous expeditions have been fitted out for the purpose of exploring it, all of rich have terminated in unsuc cessful results. This much, however, has been ascertained, that if such passage do exist, it can uever be made available in the present physical condition of our globe, fur any useful purposes of commerce. As a voyage.to the northern seas is one which is productive of much gratification; so far as the pie toresque is concerned, as well as one which is profitable in a mer cantile point of view, it will be intereresting to follow the voyager in his progress to describe the scenery, which lies in his route, the dangers he has to undergo, and the sources of his remune ration for these dangers. Passing through the narrow channel which divides Scotland from Ireland, we arrive at the Giant's Causeway, a stupendous range of basaltic columns, which ex tends over a great portion of the north-eastern coast of Ireland and its adjacent islands. These columns, to the number of many hundreds of thou - sands, are mostly pentaugular, and-vary from one to five feet in thickness, and from 20 to 250 feet in height; They are composed of several short lengths, curiously joined like a bail and socket,ahe depth of the hollow being :3 or inches; The neigh urine poor hit these little basins in the tops of the columns A% - .40 sea water, which evaporating in .3 few days, leaves there a kind of bay salt. Mr.Srnith then exhibited a view of the causeway as wellas a cave in its immediate vicinity, called Dunkerry Cavern. This cave is accessible by water alone,-and is well worthy of a visit. Fingal's Cave, situated in the romantic Isle of Staffa, lies in the direct route•of the nor thern traveller. It is composed of basalt of a similar descrip tion to that of th e Gi an t' s C auseway , an d f orms a gran d speci men of the architecture of nature. The castle of Rochemaure. in. - Languedoc i (Which, as well as Fingal's Cave, were illustrated by the lecturer,) is built upon an abrupt and lofty crass of a stuathir description of basaltic rock. Proceeding further on our voyage, we come to an abrupt rock in the sea. on the coast of Brassa, one-of the Shetland isles, called Noss-Holm, (of-which an excellent representation was given by Mr. Smith.) This rock, which is about 1G fathoms from the lofty rock of the main land, is famous for eggs and fowl, to obtain which .men are loweeed from its frightful precipices by ropes. The inhabitants get on this rock by-means of endless ropes resembling the-Ta rabitas, described in the last lecture. The people of this district are temperate and abstinent. Hence, length of life is a remark able feature among them,,traditiou giving an account of one individual who arrived at the age of ltio. Proceeding seaward from thse Scottish isles, a current is per ceived setting from the pole. It is found that two currents, regu larly set from each of the pol es tow a rd s th e equator. Indeed it was the opposition of the polar current principally occa sioned the failure of Capt. Parry's - attenipt to reach the North Pole in 1827. , These eurreuts are caused by the high temPera- • lure of the tropical waters, and the continual waste which is thus caused by evapotation. Being disturbed, by the rotation of the earth, the direction of the curreutt are changed and they Set upon the eastern shores, where they frequently become strong and even dangerous, according to the nature of the opposition which they encounter. By maeting with continual opposition the northern current performs a circuit of 11,400 miles in two years and ten months, leaving -in its route on the shores of variuus countries the seeds of plants, Br.c. which it has abstracted from the lands, with which it has come into contact. The con tinual agitation of the sea is necessary to prevent its corruptjon, for notwithstanding its saltness, sea water will soon ; become putrid in casks, indeed, the Indian ocean has been known.by a long calm to smell so ,offensively as to threaten the safety of life. When two or more currents meet each other or cross at angles, a circular motion or whirlpool is the result. A.reinark able whirlpool occurs among the Orkneys, which is not con fined to any particular place. : To avert its danger the natives carry in their boats a lug of wood, by throwing which into the whirlpool, its fury ceases, and in about an hour its locality is found to be shifted .the distance of a mile. - The largest whirl pool known is' the Maelstrom of Nor Way, which is of such ,an extent or depth that if a ship comes within its attraction, if is inevitably absorbed, there beaten against the rocks, and its frag : ments tlitown.up to the surface t ,- tien the water becomes less rapid iii its. gyrations. Whales are frequently overpowered by its violent e. The trade wind s , those cunstaut currents of air, are explained uu similar principles to the currents of the sea, that is from the rarefaction occasioned by the powerful heat of A tropical sun. These currents of the air and sea exercise a beneficial influence in commercial intercourse and when the canal is cut through the istiiMus of Darien they will much fa cilitate our communication with the East, by enabling th'e voyager to go by that route and return by way of the Arabian Gulf and Mediterranean Sea. The toils and dangers of the whale fishery are of an extreme na , lure. A' Green land . ship generally carries a crew of , lo or 50 men, and is provided with 6 or 7 boats, contrived so as to be ready with the least possible delay. Each boat. is provided with six iron harpoons, of about three feet in length, attached to lines mea suring 120 fathoms. The harpoon is used to strike and hook the fish, its destruction being accomplished by a thin spear six feet in length, which is ❑ot dung from .the hand like the har poon but held fast as it is thrust into the body or the animal. This description was accompanied by vivid and characteristic sketches of the process of striking the whale, as well of the dan gers frequently attending the whale fishery in consequence of the sudden rising of the whale under the boat, whereby the boat and crew are thrown a considerable distance into the air. Ice; bergs are met with in the Arctic regions of a very great length. Captain Parry gives an account of one 140 feet in height and 720 feet deep. Whenever these ice-bergs ground, •as was the case in this instance, the contact of a floating field of ice is at tended with a fearful and tremendous crash, and consequently with considerable danger to any vessels which .may,be in the vicinity. In order to avoid as much as possible such accidents, Captain Parry,, upon the approach of winter, .cut a canal for his' vessels through a field of ice, of nearly two miles, and one third so that they might be safely situated during the winter: season. After tlesct ibing and illustrating this process, Mr. Smith exhibited the appearance of the vessels in .their winter' quarters, and gave 'a❑ admirable account of the manner in which the voyages passed their time during the dreary winter. The Esquirnatix and their snow huts next occupied the lecturer's attention, the appearances they presented being accuratelLex hibited by means of the magic lantern. It may naturally be supposed that in a country, the sources of whose vegetable productions are so long and so deeply frozen Up, the means of human subsistence must be very scarce. Captain Franklin and his companions were far months com pelled to subsist upon a course species of lichen called Tripe de Roche, (which was illustrated by a view) a substance so acid as to produce painful illness. When the travellers reached Mar tin's Lake they shot several reindeer, which supplied them with better food. The scene presented at Martin's Lake was then exhibited by the lecturer; a very beautiful one it was for such a northern lattitude, and must have been an exciting one to the travellers. Nature, however, occasionally gives in these. 'tiorthei•n regions, very bold specimens of her powers, of which' The' Falls of . Wilberforce, a beautiful view of which was pre sented to the audience, is a noble instance. The mode in which Captain Franklin and his fellow travellers prepared their en campment for the night was very simple. 'I hey cleared away the snow from the ground, strewed the space with pine branches and over these the party spread their blankets and cloaks. A fire was kindled, the sledges unstowed, the dogs unharnessed, and the provisions hung fur safety on the trees. Supper having been cooked and despatched, the weary travellers ranging them selves round the fire with their feet towards it, slept in a armth and coniparative conifort, without any other canopy than the' trees and the heavens, when the thermometer might be far be low Zero. A very correct notion of this manner of forming a resting place was conveyed by a pieturial view. Humbly ac commodated as were our countryrnen in this their resting place, the Laplander is much worse conditioned. The rein-deer are their only riches, for by them their sledges are drawn, upon their milk and flesh they subsist, and their skirts form their only furniture. Mr. Smith thee. exhibited views which admit ably illustrated the feeble resources and helplessness of the -Laplan der, as compared with the beaver, a being so much inferior to him in the scale of creation. It is remarkable that the dwelling of the beaver is in the form of a dome, from which, probably, the Esquirnaux have derived their domed snow huts, and that this mode •of covering which the Greeks were unable to discover thought their splendid architectural career should have been known to this industrious animal. Parhelia, or mock RIM, so frequently seen in northern lati tudes, tire caused by the angular forms of the crystals of ice or vapour floating in the atmosphere, determining the rays of light in different directions, and thus giving rise to various 'ec centric halos, which, by their united intensities, particularly where they cross each other, occasionally torm masses of light or parhelia. The Aurora Borealis is another of those interesting phenomena frequently visible in the northern regions. The ge neral and most rational opinion is, 'that this beautiful display of nature depehds upon electrical causes, but'Sir john Ross thinks that it is occasioned by the reflection of the sun upon the Polar ice. Mr. Smith then closed his interesting► lecture by exhibiting views of Parhelia and the Aurora Borealis, as well as one which, though he said, it might aot be appropriate to his subject, would be so to all good subjects, viz. a beautiful like ness of our lovely virgin Queen, which elicited the loudest tokens of applause. The lecture of t to-morrow will embrace the scenery of Switzer land and other temperate climes; where verdant valleys, ro mantic glens, sublime mountains, and expansive lakes present themselves under the most delighttul aspects.

SHOPLIFTING. — ShOCking cases of shoplifting, by three sisters, daughters of a man at •Edithweston, and all marri e d women, were investigated at the Town-hall, in Stamford, on Monday and Tuesday last. It seems that the three Women, residing in parishes several miles apart, have long been in the habit of meeting at Stamford on market days, and, dressed in large cloaks, going together to drapers' shops, and stealing whatever articles they could secret amongst them. They Were all three in the shop of Mr. Knight iu the afternoon of Friday last, when one of them, named Webber, of Boston, was detected in stealing a roll of cotton print: and other stolen goods (as well belonging to Mr. Knight, as to Mr. Brown dra per) were fOund.upon her. Her two sisters (Woi;d, of Colly 4 ' Weston, and Broughton, of Edithweston) esCapedf4on the Shop before the relationship was known ; but, joining - Webber after, ward, when she was in custody at the station-house, sufficient passed between them to authorise their detention also, and war rants were granted to search the houses of their husbands. At Boston and at Edithweston an immense quantiti , of drapery goods, of all descriptions, were found concealed under beds and in boxes. Woods, being for advanced in pregnancy, was al lowed to g . ,-) home on Friday evening before the search-warrant • was executed at - Collywesten, and nothing Was after Wards found there; but, from confessions since made, in which each sister. charges the others, it seems that all three were in the habit of partaking of the plunder, which, in one instance, consisted of 4 whole•piece of linen cloth, containing 68 yards, and weighing more than 301b5.1 This they stale from the door of Mr. Brown; of High-street, in the middleof the day, on Friday. The prac tice was, after stealing goOds, to go together to a public (arrive nit3nce under the market portico, and thereto Make a division of them, each sister taking a share, or selecting articles of most use to her. • The scene at the Town-hall, on Tuesday, night, when the women ascertained that each had separately, made a confession implicating the others, can hardly be conceived. Each attributed to the ill counsel of her sisters tier own criminality, and one laid her melancholy situation to the ivant of care ,of her education and 'habits by a dissolute father! - They were all committed to gaol, for trial_ at the Quarter Sesiens in April. BeSides drapery goods, stolen shOes, ironmongery, and other articles, were found on executing the search wartants.—Stam fiird Mercury. . • • Ausitat.teix Woot.s.- 7 lt was only in the beginning of the year 178. that the first convict vessel arrived at Botany Bay, apd Van Dierpan's, Land was not taken posiession of by the BritiSh tili the year 1803. Previous to 1806 there were tint few sheep in either colony. In that year, hoWever, Mr. M'A rthur left England, convinced 'of th e ca p a biliti es of New South Wales as a wOol-groWing country, by his previous acquaintance with it, and the proof of the wool he'had long brOught over witit him. Determined to increase and improve the breed of sheep as far as possible, he sailed with a few ewes and rams, selected from the most approved flocks, on board a vessel appropriately christened for the occasion "The Argo." And certainly, Com pa red with the results of this enterprise, the famous expedition of old in search of the golden fleece may well sink into insigni ficance. In 1810, the whole imports of wool from both 01 these colonies amounted to only one hundred and sixt y-seren pounds. In no, they amounted to ninety-nine thousand four hundred and and fifteen pounds. By 1832, they had increased to ten thousand six hundred and thirty-three bales, and this year they amount to nearly three times even that quantity ! The history of 'commerce furnishes few parallel cases to the establishment and increase of such a trade in a country before scarcely known by name. a trade too which there is every reason to believe is still destined to progress in an increasing ratio.

With the exception of about 3600 sacks of Irish Flour, brought by steamers, the imports of the past week have. been trifling. The opening of the canals brought a better attendance of country dealers to our market last Tuesday, hut their chief inquiry was for• Oats, in which a fair business was done at an advance of id to Id per bushel. Wheat al4o maintained the improvement noted in our report of this day se'nnight, the best Irish red reaching .8s 3d per 701 b. Flour and Oatmeal were without change in value. With a very limited demand, prices have not since undergone any alteration ; and that tho trade has not been of a more active character may in part he attributed to the usual seanty.supplies. Choice Roundland Barley has brought 35s to 36s per quarter, and Scotch arid Cumberland, suitable for Malting. .maybe boughtat 4s , 4d to 4s 6d per 601bs. Beans and. ease as last noted. In the bonded market, a small parcel of Baltic Wheat has been sold at 5s per 701bs. and a few hundred barrels of U:S. sour ;Flour has been taken for export at,2.5s per 1961b5.

Towards the close of the week there has been an improvement in the demand for IriSh butters, of choice quality, at prices fully equal to last week's quotations. hut as the trade are looking for supplies of foreign new, the sales have not been extensive. This morning there was a very slender attendance of buyers at our market, and but . few sales ieparted. Wheat of prime quality was o firmly this day se'nnight, and the business donew a h s e a l d a t n the h og e currencytates in f ferior descriptions were rather less in request than previously. The demand for Flour was not active, but scanty stocks enabled the factors to realize full prices. For Oats and Oatmeal there was only a moderate inquiry, and the previous quo tations were barely obtainable. Meal was in fairrequest from con sumers. • • WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY. Though the thaw has done much towards clearing the river of ice, it has only partially done so, and, consequently. our arrivals of Wheat and all other grain are again very limited. The millers have bought so little d ur in g the last few weeks that, anticipating very large arrivals, an unusually large number attended our market to-day. This enabled holders of Wheat ready for delivery to obtain last cur rency, Bad the arrivals been equal to the expectations of the trade, it is thought that lower rates would have been submitted to. No alteration on other articles. LONDON COLONIAL MARKET, AlAnca 2. Sooaa..—The demand for British Plantation Sugar is rather heavy, and brovin samples have receded in value about 6.1 per cwt.
